My head is spinning. I LOVE Maui! It’s my favorite island on planet Earth. Have been there many times as Hawaii was a second home for me for many years. I went there on vacation every Spring for years and years. Even went on an engagement honeymoon there. And even bought land on the Big Island so I could build houses there and have an excuse to visit to assess how the construction was going. On every trip I would stop by Lahaina.
It’s hard to describe the charm of that little town. But I knew every shop, and all the restaurants on Front Street. The beaches. The Banyan tree. Puamana Estates. I used to sit on the beach in front of Puamana and think I could just buy one of those little bungalows and stay there forever.
Then there’s the rest of the island. The road to Hana. The Pipiwai Trail hike just past Hana where you hike throught Bamboo forests and end at the foot of Waimoku Falls. Mount Haleakalā at dawn. Up Country charming town Kula. The Iao Needle. I could go on and on. If it weren’t so far away I would have already moved there. But I have children here in the Continental US who don’t want to move there and I would miss them.
The air on Maui is heavenly. It’s not just the flowers and fruits that perfume the air. It’s the air itself. It’s soft and embracing. I haven’t felt air like that anywhere except Hawaii.
So to see Lahaina destroyed is traumatic for me.
And I don’t believe the official story at all. And I am worried all the destruction and the lives that are ruined are going to be swept under the rug of lies.
Right now on Youtube there are videos made by people who used to live there before their homes were destroyed. They contradict what the officials are saying. I believe the citizens.
There are just too many anomalies. The power was not turned off. The water WAS turned off. The emergency sirens did not go off. (WTF?) The Cell phone alert system was turned off. The townspeople were told the fire was contained earlier in the day. It wasn’t contained. People could not get out. But help from other islanders was turned away. No responders went door to door like they usually do.
And it looks like the weather was manipulated. And it looks like directed energy weapons were used. Dustification. Just like with the Paradise CA fires. And just like the twin towers.
It almost looks coordinated to cause as much harm as possible.
It just looks like an act of terrorism. And at first I thought maybe Maui is so loved that millions of people would scream out about this atrocity. But then I remembered that on 9/11/01 the two towers of the World Trade Center went down in NYC. There were so many clues that this was not a few people with box cutters on planes that did it. And we still don’t have the real story and no one was held accountable.
Already on Maui there is talk of “building back better.” And rebuilding Lahaina with the same values but still making it a “smart city.” And making Maui the first “smart island.” This is just so ridiculous. Maui is a green paradise. It’s nature in all its glory. It doesn’t need extra technology.
And I bet the natives don’t want this. They are a deeply spiritual people who love nature. They don’t embrace modernity. But they’ve been invaded now. By modern ways of life that threaten to strangle the spirituality right out of the island.
Don’t let this be forgotten. Don’t let them get away with this!
Aloha and Prayers to the people of Maui
I'm just across the pond, on BC's west coast. What has happened there has unnerved me in the same way as three years ago when I saw the video of that pregnant Aussie mom getting handcuffed in her home, in her pyjamas. The attack on Lahaina and its people is of course far worse by magnitude but both strike terror in my soul. And this atrocity, too, will stay under the radar of most "normal" people.
Been following this story in total shock and terror for about a week, Heather. So many don't even know it happened and what enormous magnitude it means. This is a direct attack!!! WTF happened to all those children? Schools just effing released them? Are you kidding me? One entire neighborhood, residents say all of the children are missing. Oprah?
