I went to the Fascist* Rally, that the Gov. labeled a "Talk Story". What a shameful meeting that was. First it was advertised as a dialogue. It was nothing of the sort. The entire room was draped with banners from groups opposing Turtle Bay. Tables full of anti Turtle Bay crap. The "program" was a procession of leaders from the protesters and their willing Fascist leader. The "open mike" was a parade of the leaders of the protest movement. It took all my will power not to stand up and shout "LIARS, HYPOCRITES, FASCISTS!!!" I so wanted to say something but I did like the other sheep led to slaughter and sat on my hands and my brain.
2 people very politely did not follow the orders of the Fascist Gov and dared question the Gov's intentions. They were both lectured. This meeting was a farce, a rubber stamp from a lying group of legislators and their willing jack sandled green shirted henchmen and women.
Turtle Bay did themselves no favors by not doing or saying anything. If they don't fight for themselves, why should I? I left before the end because it made me sick to see the work Kahuku did maligned, dismissed and ultimately destroyed. The State of Hawaii will destroy Turtle Bay.
Mark my words 5 years from now, less jobs, junk hotel and property, money down the drain and Lingle no where to be found. These people want weeds, they will get weeds.

I totally agree! The jobs will be gone and as if thats not bad enough the whole area will go down. Lets band together with a responsible developer and do it right.
