A group called Operation Green Rights, claiming to be affiliated to Anonymous, launched a primitive DDoS attack on the TMT and Hawaiian government sites, posting trophy screen grabs to its blog along with the statement: Nothing will ever justify the destruction of ecosystems; filthy money can never replace them. Stand with the Hawaiian natives against #TMT.
...
The filthy money the protestors have set themselves against includes its rent, which will rise to $1m a year for the land the telescope itself will stand on. It will employ around 140 people, with significantly more being employed during construction.
Operation Green rights asserts the project is ecocide and that it abuses native people's rights.

Previous protests have taken the form of poetry, dance, visual art and other mele aloha aina (protest songs expressing deep love for the land), but the cyber attack is a new strategy.

Marxist Luddites!
Are these protesters living in caves?
Who’s “filthy money” internet access are they using?
clearly “big astronomy” are attacking and oppressing the indigenous peoples of Hawaii to make, ummm, their $billions.
Their mother’s money would be my guess — and she is leeching that money off some poor sap that she used up and then divorced.
Sometimes I think these people protest just for the sake of protesting
It is like the world is being run by rich spoiled high school kids.
I heard Coast-To-Coast last night, and the show was about the “Ganja Godfather”- a guy who sells pot by bicycle in NYC... He sometimes makes $250 a day!
This evil drug kingpin once had a ‘bad’ business deal with a Chinese man who owned a dumpling shop... and when the shizzle went down they ordered 25 dozen dumplings and threw them all around his counter!!! That’s real he-man stuff.
I bet it took him and his workers all afternoon to clean it up.
I could not believe an entire radio show PROMOTING A BOOK was about this
They been drinking to much berry juice...............
The “ecosystem” they’re talking about is the top of a volcano, cold desert scrub, not some pristine Hawaiian jungle. In addition, complaints based on the sacredness of the mountain are empty, too, since there have been telescopes there for decades, without complaint.
Backed by Wo Fat obviously.
Give Che Fong a few days to track them down.
I presume from the article that the ecosystem includes indigenous Hawaiians, whom Gaia planted there, along with the native plants. Presumably they may hunt, fish and clear-cut with abandon, and it would still be part of nature. They could even build their own giant telescopes. All part of nature.
Good thing greens are protecting the Earth:
Lithium mine in Nevada which will supply Tesla's battery factory:
Solar thermal bird fryer:
Right you are. I’ve been to Mauna Loa Astronomy complex which has beautiful telescope observatory structures atop a barren rocky mountain volcano summit.
Awesome deep dark night sky view!
