TN: OK, so, can you pass on that information to us? RD: Yes, I will. TN: Thank you. RD: Lot of ‘em I do – I do document and I get a lot of photos but lot of the times the organizations I go to – even like for this gentleman right here – just recently put in his own testimony – and his own complaint and the DLNR turn around and tell him – you want a five thousand dollar fine for putting your nose into our business? This is reality, guys. I not sitting up here in front of cameras for be talking waha, I mean, just blowing smoke up you guys’ butts. My lifestyle is not like you guys – basically my family lives almost a hundred percent off the aina. My ohana’s task here growing up was protecting our waters – that’s my family’s title – lot of the river waste – you guys even know how much rivers there’s in Hamakua? Out of 89 – 47 I walk up 47 rivers weekly checking in – who touching, who taking, what companies is where. Finance Factors just went buy 4,000 acres above Makahanaloa – the huge lake now getting tapped into. Lot of our organizations they turn ‘em blind – they turn away to it. As long has God give me ha – and grant me life you guys going keep on seeing me. GD: Donev – District 9. I’d recommend – maybe you already have done so – but to compile data into a document in even an exhaustive form. RD: All my evidence just on the Ha’s case alone – nine years now mind you guys I’ve been battling Richard Ha. I think you guys all know who is this gentleman. And you know what I get? Zero. Where is it? They just went give fine – two million dollars – no more even two months ago – lift the fine – gone. If was me, I get lo’i below – same district – same river – I try touch the water for my lo’i - DLNR came to me and told me I no can. So, I don’t know what worth well saying – you know my cousin had asked for come because he know how sincere I am and he knows my family’s job. I’m trying to protect all our river ways and waterways. Lot of these people just come – do as they please – no permits – just tap into all the rivers – all our natural resources is diminishing, you know, it’s crazy. I no chose to go to the store like you guys because I, you know, truth. If you guys doing all truth, you guys know our future is filled with GMO and filled up with all these bad products. Over 27 years my family lived off grid – twenty-seven – most of you guys no can do without you guys’ modern conveniences... 17
