In a Honolulu Weekly story that just came on line yesterday, "Pumping up PMRF - Kaua'i s being taken by air, land and sea" by Joan Conrow says:

"Kyle Kajihiro, director of the American Friends Service Committee program in Hawai‘i, is not alone in his belief that the military’s continued buildup is turning the Islands and especially Kaua‘i into a target. “It really is counterintuitive, pursuing these kinds of activities in a way that is seen as provocative to other nations,” he says. “It really puts Hawai‘i in the focus because of that.”

The DEIS was drafted, according to the document, as part of a larger Navy directive to make a “comprehensive analysis” of environmental impacts in specific geographic areas.

Kajihiro sees that approach as “skirting the law and getting blanket approval to do things the public may never know about,” including some of the “freakish high tech stuff” that is not fully described in the DEIS. Further, the document does not disclose when the Navy expects to execute many of its plans, using instead such general phrases as “foreseeable future.”

Militarism in Hawaii, Superferry & Lehman

WHEN:
Friday, November 9, 7:00-9:00pm

WHERE:
Kapa'a Neighborhood Center

WHAT:
Presentation by Kyle Kajihiro and Terri Kekoolani on Militarism in Hawai'i and the Role of the Superferry

A powerful and spirited presentation on militarism in Hawai'i and the role that the Lehman Corporation (JFL Partners) plays. This is the group that has a controlling interest in the Superferry and that has bought off the Hawai'i State government.

Long-time Hawai'i activists Kyle Kajihiro and Terri Kekoolani of DMZHawai'i / Aloha'Aina (a project of the American Friends Service Committee) will lead this presentation and discussion about the ways we can best educate our community about this difficult problem and how we can effectively fight it.

Light refreshments will be served.

SPONSOR:
This event is being sponsored by the Kaua'i Alliance for Peace and Social Justice.
