Hawaii official concerned with ‘equity’ delayed releasing water for more than 5 hours as wildfires raged: report

Access to water should be predicated on “conversations about equity,” according to the Hawaii official under fire for delaying access to water during the Maui wildfires.

M. Kaleo Manuel, former deputy director of the Hawaii Commission on Water Resource Management, waited for more than five hours to release water during the wildfires that devastated Maui, according to reports.

In a livestream debate hosted by the University of Hawaii last year, Manuel described water as a sacred god.

“Let water connect us and not divide us,” said Manuel, referring to water distribution on the island. “We can share it, but it requires true conversations about equity…How do we coexist with the resources we have?” A former Obama Foundation leader — part of a program by the former President’s non-profit to help participants with coaching and “practical skill building for social change” — Manuel said he considered water an important tool for social justice. *** Manuel was transferred to another position within the Department of Land and Natural Resources Wednesday, according to Honolulu Civil Beat, which first reported the story of the delay. ***

They were Genuine questions. And I agree on impossibilities of zero foul play. No alarm water shut off…right.

I really thought I might learn something.

I have seen (doctored?) video of DEW on volcanoes prior to eruption, and photos from California that show seemingly impossible burn patterns.

It just seems nearly impossible that the WEF or some other villain organization, even the deep state can surreptitiously operate a DEW.

Any thoughts?

Too many anomalies to be coincidental. Horrifying!
