Keep the North Shore Sane

This blog will be about the North Shore of Oahu. The focus will be on the politics, economics and lifestyle of the North Shore. The North Shore is such a small place, people are often intimidated and do not speak their mind. Here you can speak your mind. I accept guest posts either by name or anonymously as long as they are not obscene. Let's argue, let's be opinionated and let's really dig down into the issues that affect our lives here on the North Shore of Oahu.

Turtle Bay Is Doomed

I went to the Fascist* Rally last night, that the Gov. labeled a "Talk Story". What a shameful meeting that was. First it was advertised as a dialogue. It was nothing of the sort. The entire room was draped with banners from groups opposing Turtle Bay. Tables full of anti Turtle Bay crap. The "program" was a procession of leaders from the protesters and their willing Fascist leader. The "open mike" was a parade of the leaders of the protest movement. It took all my will power not to stand up and shout "LIARS, HYPOCRITES, FASCISTS!!!" I so wanted to say something but I did like the other sheep led to slaughter and sat on my hands and my brain.

2 people very politely did not follow the orders of the Fascist Gov and dared question the Gov's intentions. They were both lectured. This meeting was a farce, a rubber stamp from a lying group of legislators and their willing green shirted henchmen and women.

Turtle Bay did themselves no favors by not doing or saying anything. If they don't fight for themselves, why should I? I left before the end because it made me sick to see the work Kahuku did maligned, dismissed and ultimately destroyed. The State of Hawaii will destroy Turtle Bay.

Mark my words 5 years from now, less jobs, junk hotel and property, money down the drain and Lingle no where to be found. These people want weeds, they will get weeds.

*Fascist - noun

1. often capitalized : a political philosophy, movement, or regime (as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition

2: a tendency toward or actual exercise of strong autocratic or dictatorial control

    I know you regard most of the North Shore environmentalists as serial protesters but give people some credit for getting involved! Check out Michael Moore's latest film Sicko and see how citizens of other countries regularly protest to let the government hear their voices whereas most Americans seem too content to bother. And before you jump on me as a lefty nut, I'm active duty military.

    Most of the more radical enviromentalists ARE serial protestors. I am not sure if you read the Post where I came up with that name, but if you look at the protests here in Hawaii, I'd say that 80% plus of them are the same no matter what the cause. It is a social event for them, a way to hook up. I'd say the same people on the North Shore were protesting the Mall, Boycotting Turtle Bay, protesting surf contests, etc. etc. etc. The irony here in Hawaii is that the traditional alternative views (liberal) are by far the mainstream. Honolulu Weekly should be edited by Rush Limbaugh, then it would actually be an alternative.

    If you are in the military you've been around. This state is the most dysfunctional govt. I have ever heard of and I guarentee they will destroy Turtle Bay. It will be just like Malekahana State park and the UH Ag facility in Vland, both are dumps.
