<br /> Subject: Testimony for General Plan 2045 for 19 December-NEEDS FULL OVERHAUL due to serious unaddressed issues
<br /> Date: Wednesday,December 18,2024 7:29:20 PM
<br /> Aloha,
<br /> I have provided extensive written testimony numerous times and commented on the general plan online along with many others that have emphasized this
<br /> plan needs a complete overhaul to meet the needs of the community. This plan is based off a template handed down thru the United Nations Agenda 21.
<br /> This document is a good overview to educate county planning and legislative officials on AGENDA 21 and should be mandatory reading.httos:Hnwri.org/wo-
<br /> conte nt/uploads/2011/07/How-Pu blic-Officials-can-Recognize-Age nda-21.pddf
<br /> The original version in 2005 plan contains the words"homeowner"and"farmer"while the 2045 plan is written by and for"stakeholders!"This is
<br /> outrageous and the words"homeowner"and"farmer"do not appear anywhere! "Farmer"is in the 2005 General Plan fourteen(14)times and"homeowner"
<br /> appears four(4)times.Below are just a few things that need addressing:
<br /> 1. The State and County ARE corporations and have no right to acquire land.The proposed re-zoning is excessive overreach for the benefit of
<br /> stakeholders and will affect landowners tremendously.This will open up the county for massive legal recourse that will tie up county resources for
<br /> many years.
<br /> 2. Remove reference to climate change caused by humans,this is unproven and junk science(see additional resources below).This includes
<br /> removing references to"carbon footprint","net zero","greenhouse gas","green infrastructure" and/or"climate adaptation".Carbon dioxide
<br /> sequestration is a really really stupid idea,waste of tax payer funds and energy,and will further degrade our flora and fauna.
<br /> 3. Remove the section 2.2 Biocultural Stewardship Goal(1.13)because State and County corporations are not acting on behalf of its residents and
<br /> clearly acting on behalf of stakeholders.
<br /> 4. Remove the word"stakeholder"from everywhere it appears,and instead use the words"land owner"or"farmer/rancher".
<br /> 5. REMOVE 32c and 32p and 20e because all have to do with the egregious concept of"smart'cities.
<br /> 6. Remove ANY use of the word"resilience"This is a psychological term that has NO PLACE in a government document.
<br /> 7. Close down the County Office of Sustainability,Climate,Equity,and Resilience(OSCER)as NOBODY VOTED FOR THIS OFFICE TO BE STARTED
<br /> and it is a waste of resources. Remove ANY reference to such office from the proposed General Plan the citizens can work directly with the county.
<br /> 8. The governments intention for"inspection"or"surveillance"or"inventory"of land and water catchment is in direct violation of privacy rights.
<br /> 9. Add language for safeguarding against the danger of emerging technology,including 5G.Language needs to be drafted regarding technology
<br /> easements based on health studies conducted by 3rd party with no conflict of interest.
<br /> 10. Remove the phrase"circular systems". This is a concept only vaguely defined and certainly without any solid demonstration of its use.
<br /> 11. Remove the phrase'Vision Zero"as it has NO RELEVANCE for our island.
<br /> 12. Remove the phrase"One Water"as it refers to a North America group and has NO RELEVANCE for our island.
<br /> 13. There is no clear plan for strengthening infrastructure and power grid against space weather.
<br /> 14. The document contains no explanation how the county will handle a breakdown of critical infrastructure(supply chain,energy,
<br /> communications)due to impending space weather/solar events in which the Federal Government has been diligently preparing for due to
<br /> weakening magnetosphere(see additional resources below).
<br /> 15. Include language to ban"man made"weather modification,spraying of nano particulate in the atmosphere,and geoengineering activities
<br /> that have a significant impact on health,property,and the environment.
<br /> 16. Include language against harmful chemicals,pesticides such as glyphosate,and genetically altered organisms(including vectors of
<br /> disease)from being released into the environment.
<br /> 17. Implement severe restrictions for artificial intelligence data centers proposed by"stakeholders"that will drain the power grid.
<br /> 18. Implement provisions regarding military training and operations that are transparent and safe for the environment.Depleted uranium
<br /> dropped in the Saddle Region next to an active Volcano is NOT acceptable whatsoever,nor is excessive underground explosions that have
<br /> been going on for years that parallel training operations at Pohakuloa Training Area(PTA).
<br /> 19. Developers should not be granted relief from requirements for sidewalks,bike lanes,etc...a dedicated bike lane should be implemented on
<br /> all major roads.
<br /> 20. Include information on the drawbacks of electric vehicles to include draw on the grid,disposal of batteries,and fire dangers.
<br /> Climate Mitigation Basis for Plan is Unfounded
<br /> A great deal of content is based on Climate Mitigation from human activity which has a minuscule effect on the earth's overall climate.Over 99%
<br /> of the climate affects are driven by solar activity,cycles,and space weather.The document completely fails to mention the threat of space weather
<br /> and is almost entirely focused on carbon emissions promoted by the United Nations Climate Agenda.Our Federal Government has been preparing for
<br /> space weather threats for many years,yet the Hawai'i island GP lacks any reference to this even though critical infrastructure(energy,communications,
<br /> transportation,and supply chain)is at risk due to increased solar radiation from our weakening magnetosphere.In 2015 the magnetosphere was down by
<br /> 40%according to this Federal Doc.

<br /> In October of 2016 President Obama issued the following executive order Coordinating Efforts To Prepare the Nation for Space Weather
<br /> Events-Executive order 13744(https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/DCPD-201600692)
<br /> Section 1.Policy.Space weather events,in the form of solar flares,solar energetic particles,and geomagnetic disturbances,occur regularly,
<br /> some with measurable effects on critical infrastructure systems and technologies,such as the Global Positioning System(GPS),satellite
<br /> operations and communication,aviation,and the electrical power grid.Extreme space weather events—those that could significantly degrade
<br /> critical infrastructure—could disable large portions of the electrical power grid,resulting in cascading failures that would affect key services such
<br /> as water supply,healthcare,and transportation.Space weather has the potential to simultaneously affect and disrupt health and safety across
<br /> entire continents.Successfully preparing for space weather events is an all-of-nation endeavor that requires partnerships across governments,
