Hawaiian Racism and the Maui Fires
Sultan Knish ^ | September 01, 2023 | Daniel Greenfield

........What looks like incompetence by government officials really reflects an ongoing racial conflict. Leftist activists, most of them white or black, have organized some activist Polynesian residents (often wrongly referred to as native Hawaiians) along the American Indian or Australian aboriginal model into their own system with extensive leverage over the bureaucracy.

Ongoing conflicts over water rights between plantations and so-called ‘native cultivation” led to a denial of water to fight the fires. The widely reported denial of water by M. Kaleo Manuel, the deputy director of the Hawaii Commission on Water Resource Management, to fight the fires led to national outrage, but local pro-Polynesian activists and the media rallied to his defense since what he was really defending was ‘native cultivation’ against the sugar cane plantations.

Even with the wildfires going on, the Hawaii Supreme Court rejected a petition from the state government to free up water to fight the fires. The state was not allowed to divert water from that being wasted for “customary Hawaiian practices and ecological balance”.

*snip*

And denying the plantations the water they needed to fight fires, like the Kunzelman assault, was about striking a blow against the hated ‘Haoles’ who colonized the land after the Polynesians had originally colonized it by enslaving the original inhabitants, tattooing their heads and then using them as human sacrifices while making Captain Cook look like a saint.

The ‘missteps’ that killed people, from failing to sound the sirens to setting up a barricade that blocked drivers trying to escape the fires, are typical of an insular society where things are often done informally and outsider ‘Haoles’ are deliberately denied the information they need unless they have lived there long enough to cultivate relationships and get a feel for what is going on

Tribalism is incompatible with representative government.

I haven't seen a breakdown by race on those impacted by the fire, but I'd be surprised if native Hawaiians weren't at the top of the list.

SOOOO, all those deaths begin to look like systemic murder.

Don’t know if it’s true but I have read...more than once...that “native” Hawaiians don’t particularly like white people.

IF it was a weapon like the guy says, then Lahaina was a warning shot from “somebody” to “somebody”.

One connecting dot that’s intriguing is the November ‘22 Nantucket incineration of SS rented vehicles suggesting the message is directed at Biden or the U.S. gov’t. I don’t think our legitimate gov’t would have incinerated those vehicles. Now it could be our rogue off-grid black government operators. They may be getting twisted out of shape by the House UFO hearings getting too close to their black ops activities so they are basically saying - ‘Back off!!” We can be pretty darn sure it was a weapon based on all the anomalies surrounding the fire. Perhaps the biggest tell there is the color blue, which rhymes with DEW. According to Alex Jones, for some reason, the light frequency of a laser does not respond to the color blue. This discriminating high technology feature points to it being a laser DEW and being executed deliberately by either man or off-planet aliens. Maybe it is just me, but whether it was the massacre of humanity affected by the death shot or now this Lahaina massacre, my mind just has to reach for a source of these mass killings being other than man. In both instances how could sane men do this to their fellow innocent human beings on this mass scale? That’s why I find myself reaching for it being unfriendly off-planet aliens as the perps.

I recall reading about a sugar plantation that went defunct and was grasses, and burned.

Wonder if water had anything to do with that?

“the light frequency of a laser does not respond to the color blue.”

This doesn’t make sense. First, there is no single “light frequency of a laser”, because tunable lasers can be made to operate at any visible wavelength or frequency. Second, what does it even mean that they don’t “respond to the color blue”? In what way do lasers “respond to the color red”?

I guess the next stat that’s needed is how many hoales died compared to the Kānaka Maoli death toll.

One thing to stir in the mix is what was on the initial TV coverage. A huge majority of the victims interviewed on air were not native islanders. They were mainlanders who had decided to settle in Maui.

It may seem nonsensical to you, but my eyes don’t lie. There is a helluva lot we don’t understand, so always keep an open mind.
