Kauai Surf, after the semi-Hurricane that some remember as Iwa. It might have been around 1982 or so. A while back.<br />It doth not matter from whence Da Hoos sprung. This douchbag has no remorse. Ask the guy who made the souls of the Nike shoes. You know, the Pake, who Da Hoos fleeeeeced at Waioli Gardens. Of course there was that other well known Aussie, who got a little rear greased end as well. The Aussie is still here, the multi-bucks Chinee is gone. The Aussie is mellow...but he never forget. (Waioli Garden, Alii Garden, .....what the fuck is the name of all these real estae developmints Da Hoos did? Quite a few.<br />We are all a little older now. And as the fine clean wind strokes us, we, for the most part are fine. Some of us us even have beaucoup bucks, kids, grandkids and God.<br />So why is it dat Da Hoos provokes such a somber and sublime individual such as my own self to write a frolic of anonymous words?<br />Welp. Jealousy? He gots a good lookin' wife? He has a fine gold State enshrouded Pension?<br />Nope. Nada. Those of the few, the folks that really know this piece of dogshit. The folks frome the past,,,,,,,like me. Do not like to see horseshit continue.<br />Yep. Gary has has (in his own mind) extreme success. There are several of us old Haoles that have really made money and have big land. So why is it that a liar and successful politician insinuates my brain cells to write this to Ms Joan/.<br />Truth is the great leveler. <br />Ms Joan, seed companies or no seed companies...Der Hoos has lied before they were here and he will lie long after they have gone. Justice and Virtue> From a carpet Guy to a Big Shot Politician...as men we walk, huevos dangling. And Gary? Why have you turned out to be such a fucking liar? we were just 20 something, and yur friend Steve got fucked over by you in 1982. <br />Howz my spelling and grammar says a really fUcked up, pot smoking, pill popping Alikie? <br />Surprised if Ms Joan prints this. But history, memory and justice should be part of us all.<br />Kauai is upside down when we allow influence from a person that has no integrity, no soul, no care and is only out for kala and glory.

I can only presume that you're being either deliberately obtuse or have a problem with reading comprehension because the specific actions are clearly laid out in the post. But thank you for the opportunity to recount those tactics again: stready stream of propaganda aimed primarily at spreading misinformation and fear;, “fake news” articles, misinformed “infographics,” inflammatory social media memes, biased workshops, poorly written legislative bills, Facebook rants; orchestrating a fear-mongering charade with the sole goal of destroying GMO seed production in Hawaii (while pretending it's about pesticides and health); bullying Islanders to advance their national agenda; terrible phone calls and threats; threaten, badger and harass legislators simply because they don't agree with you; smear campaigns based on lies.<br /><br />By creating and supporting a movement that is built entirely on lies, fear, shaming, intimidation, money-grubbing, demagoguery and bullying, they are creating a toxic environment that is sickening personal relationships, civil debate, the legislative process and communities.<br /><br />But then, I don't expect you to get it because you're under the delusion that you aren't deluded.

What specific actions of the people you mention reflect their "attempts to turn Hawai'i into a toxic dump"? I thought they are attempting to do the opposite- to decrease the toxicity of our environment? And by the way, it is very possible to reduce toxicity while creating it- this is not a delusion. Pretty much all of us are guilty of producing toxicity, and more of us are changing our lifestyles in order to reduce it. (if I give up roundup and pull weeds, I have decreased toxicity, even though I am still guilty of creating it elsewhere). So the goal is to decrease it at all levels and in all ways which we possibly can. No delusions here.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-19813898928108531912017-03-13T16:01:05.844-10:002017-03-13T16:01:05.844-10:00Rep.
