CANCEL RIMPAC NOW & FOREVER!
The US Pacific Fleet Public Affairs Office recently announced that the 30th RIMPAC (the Biennial Rim of the Pacific military exercise) will bring "31 nations in and around the Hawaiian Islands from June 24 to July 31, 2026. The exercise will feature a multinational force of approximately 40 surface ships, 5 submarines, 140 aircraft and more than 25,000 personnel." Detailed plans of the military training for 2026 have yet to be released, but past training has included bombing and shelling, the sinking of ships, beach assaults, etc. on and around several islands including live fire training at Pohakuloa in the center of Hawaii island.
Recently there was justified resident outrage against a tourist throwing a large rock at a monk seal in Lahaina. But where is the outrage against RIMPAC military exercise every two years that results in the endangering of marine life and Hawaii's ecosystem --air, land, and water, people, plants, and animals? Reports in the past said there are so many ships in Pearl Harbor for RIMPAC that the massive electronic pulsing makes it impossible for surrounding residents to open their garage doors. What are the effects on marine, human, and other life from all this electronics, as well as military bombs, shells, and toxins? And be on the look out for drunken sailors roaming our streets and human trafficking.
Make
aloha and peace, not militarism and training for war, the
beacon of Hawaii.
A’ole RIMPAC!

"Disgusting"
Tourist trowing a rock at an endangered monk seal.
Hawaii’s US Senator Brian Schatz and others say that’s “Disgusting.” Agreed!
Military blowing up a ship during RIMPAC training and firing lots of various weapons spreading toxins –
air, land, and sea, endangering people plants and animals. We need more people saying that’s “disgusting” too?
Mahalo!
