Just a few years ago, most people in and visiting Hawaii paid close to zero attention to all the astronomy work going on here. This is going to be a photo op for these guys, and notice Kanuha has no problem jetting over to Oahu.
The anti-geothermal protesters are dragging stuff up from the 90's.
The anti-GMO protesters are dragging up stuff from the 90's.
The anti-vaxxers were dragging stuff up from the 90's.
The anti-TMT protesters are dragging up stuff from the 90's.
Hmmm, what is common here? So complicated -- not. I recognize all the uncles in the background orchestrating these things and they are mixed race locals, Chinese, Filipine and Japanese mostly. Kanuha is probably 100% Tahitian-Hawaiian but he is not ali'i or kahuna. The reason the stuff from the 90's is being used 30 years later, those uncles were the up and coming displaced locals, in their 30's, now going into their 60's. So, they have recruited a new generation. Really odd profession, being a professional protester. And their paymaster is the state giving them grant in-aid cash handouts so they can spend all their spare time protesting.
"Aloha also means goodbye. Aloha!"
