    FACTS THAT WE DO KNOW (these come straight from the local survivors):
    1. The police barricaded every exit from the city.
    2. No sirens went off.
    3. The water was cut off by the city water manager to the fire fighters.
    4. The body count was froze at 115.
    5. The morgue is 100% full.
    6. Local morticians ran out of body bags during the first week.
    7. The city REFUSES to give even an estimate on how many children may be missing or killed; same with adults and families.
    8. The locals estimate that the schools have 3000 kids registered, but only 3 or 400 showed up. Which leaves 2600 children unaccounted for.
    9. There are 15 school buses missing and unaccounted for. There's no debris or burnt out wrecks. They're just magically GONE. Like the children the city seems so unconcerned about.
    10. It took 6 days for FEMA to show up, and when they did the first thing they did was confiscate food and water that was being given out to survivors because "it was not FEMA approved." Since then, locals report getting sick from drinking the water FEMA is giving them. You can't make this stuff up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    11. We have some video testimony of locals (they appear to be medical personnel) who helped in searching for survivors. They say they're finding entire families burnt alive in cars trapped trying to escape. They also say they're finding bodies of children alone in homes. YET ... we hear NONE of this from the city officials.
    12. The police chief is ALSO the medical examiner. Conflict of interest? You bet it is.
    The million dollar question NO ONE has asked the mayor or police chief is this: HOW many peopled DIED as a direct result of all the city exit streets being blocked?
    Oh, and by the way, the police redirected people BACK into the fire zones!!! SO how many peopled died as a direct result of that????

    « Asbestos can be destroyed by ultra-high-temperature incineration and plasma melting process. A process of thermal decomposition at 1,000-1,250 °C (1,800-2,300 °F) produces a mixture of non-hazardous silicon-based wastes, and at temperatures above 1,250 °C (2,300 °F) it produces silicate glass. ».

      No incineration facility capable of handling asbestos exist on Hawaii. So now you have to sort, demolish, sort again, store(temporarily), treat, and then establish final disposal places for all waste generated in the affected area.

    They are stocking this at Ukumehame Firing Range. Off subject but, instead of the old dump that is nearby, they take over the
    range indefinitely stopping our second ammendment! Preaching that the adjoining range could not be used because of a bird sanctuary.
    NOW they are not so worried about the birds with the hazardous waste! Kill two birds with one stone?

      It feels so creepy and horrifying to know what these Demon creatures did to these Native Hawians and their beautiful Royal Kingdom City of Lahaina, Once Capital where a King and Queen reigned, while telling us dailey in there Empty briefings lies, lies, and endless bullS, while we watching and KNOWING THE UGLY TRUTH. It is so surreal that "They" actually think we can't see them, and think there lies are fooling us. Its bizarre. Can't the see that WE KNOW they are culpable, that the have murdered beyond repair? Can't they see WE KNOW they are Heathens, Demonic creeps, Vampires, Serpents, Vipers , the children of their Father, the Devil? Tares
      It is surreal.
      Jesus said to the parishes... "You are responsible for are the Blood spilled from Able to Zackaria between the Gate and Alter. ( In Jesus Day)
      (Zackaria, Priest Father of John the Baptist)
      These same Creatures today are responsible for ALL the Blood from Zackaria to today.
      There time is running out.
