Home My WebLink About2024-12-05 Mele Akua GP Testimony From: Mele Akua To: WPCtestimonv;LPCtestimonv Subject: Revise Hawaii General Plan Testimony Here Date: Thursday,December 5,2024 11:07:41 AM Aloha Commissioners, We've heard you are volunteers and just regular citizens like the rest of us—you represent us. Thank you for volunteering your time. Please consider all the testimonies you have received, and do your own research to examine the evidence you have been presented with. Do not rely on "Fact Checkers" as who checks the fact checkers? And all main stream media are owned by just 6 corporations, including "Fact Checkers". Here is an article: https://www.webfx.com/blog/internet/the-6-companies-that-own- almost-all-media-infographic/There is no unbiased media. I remember learning in school that in China and Russia, propaganda is used on the people, to control them, to influence what they think... so we would think it isn't used on us here, when it is: "Operation Mockingbird" https://www.youtube.com/shorts/y3aCtdwFqRw I have read the Hawaii County General Plan 2045, and it does not represent the people of Hawaii. My impression is that the General Plan from 2005 was changed after Hawaii County joined ICLEI in 2018. ICLEI is UN affiliated and stands for International Council of Local Environmental Initiatives. General Plan 2045 is filled with United Nations Agenda 21 or Agenda 2030 propaganda. On September 22, 2024, the UN just passed their"Pact for the Future" to transform Global Governance, as a solution to the Climate Change crisis. You have already heard numerous testimonies that there is no Climate Change and there is technology that can control the weather. Climate Change is an engineered or designed crisis as a reason to take away national sovereignty as a solution. Here is another website with information on weather manipulation or Geoengineering: https://climateviewer.com/ UN Agenda 21 is a plan to bring about Totalitarian Technocracy over all nations, and take away our rights and freedoms. Technocracy information here: https://www.technocracy.news/ The World Economic Forum, in a post from 2016 said basically, "By 2030, you will own nothing, rent everything, and be happy." Here is the post: World Economic Forum: By 2030, "You will own nothing. And you'll be happy!" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omAklaMyw7E I disagree - whoever ends up owning everything will be happy. It is extremely concerning that the Hawaii County General Plan 2045 never mentions "home owner" and that there are several mentions that the County or State will seek to acquire private land. As it is based on a scam, please remove the Climate Change section and any references to it in the Plan. Please add stewardship for the land, and that our island will be protected from "chem trailing" or"stratospheric aerosol injections" and other weather manipulation technologies. The state of Tennessee has banned chemtrails and other states are working on similar legislation. Also please remove "reduce miles traveled". Please remove any wording that will result in more taxes and restrictions imposed on the people, and change to strategies will be implemented that will lower the cost of living, lower taxes, encourage everyone to grow their own food, leading to food sustainability, just as the Native Hawaiians were self-sufficient when there were no supply ships coming here. Also add that the rights of the people to own private property, to participate in government and give public testimonies that are heard and acknowledged will be guaranteed. Here are some other concerns I have with General Plan 2045: Please change "Stakeholder" to "Local Communities". Local Communities are local Big Island farmers, homeowners, renters, organizations, businesses, and individuals who live on Big Island or have property on Big Island that will be personally affected by projects, decisions, or activities in the general plan. Effective local community engagement and management are crucial for the success and sustainability of any initiative, as it helps ensure that diverse perspectives and interests are considered. • The OSCER Department in the plan will null and void all public input and leave decisions to unelected officials. This is NOT okay! This department should not be created. This is on page 188, 40.8. The Planning Department has sent out letters to many homeowners telling them their land use will be changed from resident to recreation due to the General Plan 2045. This will drastically lower their property value and opens the door to rezone the area. This is not pono. It breaks the Aloha Spirit law§ 5-7.5. To reduce someone's property value is not okay. This must be made pono again. Hilo does not have a Community Development Plan. How can a Big Island General Plan move forward without that? Hilo is 22% of the island. 1.13 under"Increase the biodiversity and resilience of native habitats" reads, "Incentivize private land management practices that protect and enhance natural resource values and, when appropriate, pursue the acquisition of lands for the protection of natural resources." 'Incentives" mean more taxes. "Protection" means more rules. Who's "values" is this plan referring too because it's not the locals? "Pursue the acquisition of lands" does this say they are going to pursing taking people's private property? Again with "protection of natural resources". This plan should be focused on people growing more food and it is doing the exact opposite! This plan wants to turn land into "conservation". The exact opposite is what is needed for Big Island! We need to turn land into Ag Villages and grow more food! Steve Shropshire, a resident of Papaikou, has created an Ag Villages plan.
