BOMBS IN PARADISE - HOW HAWAI`I IS FAST BECOMING THE MOST MILITARIZED PLACE ON EARTH

ZeroHedge - June 13, 2021

The United States Army plans to build an enormous weapons facility storing stockpiles of conventional warheads and explosives right next to the residential housing communities of Ewa Beach, Ewa Villages, West Loch Estates, and Ewa Gentry, as well as beside the Pearl Harbor National Wildlife Refuge in Hawaii. This Pacific island paradise already has the largest concentration of United States military bases and compounds in the country, making it one of the most militarized places on earth. Were it to secede from the Union, Hawaii would be a major military power on a global scale. And now, more weapons are on the way. A lot more.

The size, scope, and expense of this massive construction project must be considered, as well as the immediate danger placed on the residents of the surrounding communities. Equally important is whether the pre-positioning of such massive amounts of live warheads and munitions is in the interest and safety of the American public. Pre-positioning means ready to use. Locked and loaded. We’re off to war. This decreases the time for diplomacy and increases the likelihood of the weapons’ use. Do we really want to stockpile yet more weapons on this over-militarized island in preparation for the next big war? Is this a prudent strategy, or rash and perilous behavior?

In a 164 page report written by the Department of the Navy for the Army, titled :Finding Of No Significant Impact (FONSI) For The U.S. Army West Loch Ordnance Facilities At Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickman (JBPHH), Oahu, Hawaii," the Navy states this project will include 27 new box type "D" magazines, eight modular storage magazines, administrative and operational facilities, accessory roads and concrete pads, utility service and distribution, site drainage, security features, and fire lines. For the record, a box type "D" magazine has an estimated footprint of 8,000 square feet. Again, there will be 27 of these. An 86,000 square-foot vehicle holding yard, a 50,000 square-foot vehicle inspection area, and a 20,000 square-foot residue storage warehouse are among the other larger items to be built.

Despite this massive construction project, the Navy asserts no significant direct, indirect, or cumulative environmental impact to the area. The Navy then doubles-down on the absurdity, stating the proposed facility would actually result in beneficial impacts to public health and safety, an interesting argument for the storage of millions of pounds of explosive materials not more than a half mile from a housing development.

The report continues in the same vein using language meant to be innocuous and reasonable, but which is deadly serious, by arguing the massive weapons complex will cause no impact to cultural resources, biological resources, socioeconomic conditions, and minimal impact to land use. The Department of the Interior even signed off on the environmental impact argument, thereby proving the obvious, that all branches of the government work for the Pentagon.

Explosive munitions would be on and off-loaded at this site from a variety of ships, trucked and forklifted to warehouses, and then carted back to other ships ready for war. An accidental explosion would be devastating to these residential communities, carrying the potential to kill and injure hundreds. Homes, businesses, parks and schools all would be in the blast zone, or the "explosion arc."

Additionally, an accidental blast there could ignite even greater blasts at Pearl Harbor facilities and Hickam Field, a chain reaction of deadly explosions the Navy refers to as "sympathetic explosions." The 1969 USS Enterprise fire near Pearl Harbor began when a Zuni rocket accidentally detonated under a plane’s wing and ignited additional munitions, blowing holes in the flight deck which allowed jet fuel to ignite the ship. Twenty-eight sailors were killed, 314 were injured, and 15 aircraft were destroyed at a cost of over $126 million. This accidental explosion occurred offshore and far away from residential neighborhoods. Such an explosion at this new facility would cause far greater loss of life and property.

Especially noteworthy about this new weapons facility is the shortened safety distance between the bomb storage buildings and the residential population, less than a half mile from the new Ewa Gentry North Park housing development. Other storage facilities such as Indian Island in Washington State and the Earle Ammunition Loading facility in New Jersey have far greater explosion arcs, while the Army MOTSU site in North Carolina has a 3.5 mile explosion arc. The recent accidental explosion in Beirut, Lebanon, though not of military munitions, left a blast zone of 6.2 miles. The data used to calculate these explosion arcs is, according to the Navy, classified. Additionally, the types of ammunition and exclusive amounts to be stored are also classified. And so, explosion arc is a term whose actual meaning is held in close confidence by the Navy. Trust us, they say.

At the end of their lengthy report, the Navy, not surprisingly, concludes there is no alternative but this. They have, so they argue, done their due diligence. Weapons must be brought here, a new facility must be built, there is no danger to the public or the environment. They are merely fulfilling their obligations under the law by planning, pre-positioning, and preparing for war. Rest assured, they seem to say, all is well. No reason to worry. You are in safe hands. The military is in control. Construction begins in 2022.

“McGarrett,” Tony answered his phone, sighing quietly. He loved his job, he reminded himself, even if Five-0 was a persistent thorn in his side. In a lot of ways, he loved that they were a thorn in his side, “If this is about the body found in Kaawa, you can’t have it. He’s a sailor, that means it’s my jurisdiction. Unless you forgot what NCIS means. Again.”

It was a common occurance. At least once a month a sailor would die somewhere that wasn’t on JBPHH, and Steve McGarrett would show up with his team, declaring that the case was Five-0′s jurisdiction, even though he knew that NCIS had dibs. Most of the time, Tony let it slide, because most of the time Steve was right, and there was a connection between the dead sailor and a Five-0 case. This time, though, it was an open and shut domestic dispute, and there was no way he was letting McGarrett take his case. 

“The wife did it, in case you were wondering. She was still holding the gun when I got there, confessed almost immediately. She’s already been handed over to HPD. If you want, you can take me out for a beer, congratulate me on closing a case so quickly.”

These past couple months I’ve been trying to get back into shape slowly but surely.. It hasn’t been easy but once I took my eyes off the scale and focus on getting stronger day by day motivation to keep going comes easier. Just wanted to talk little about body image and how society bases what “beauty” is. If you’re not a size 0-2 then you’re not good enough or if a man doesn’t have abs then he isn’t good enough. We all have different body types and we are all beautiful human beings. Let’s be a society that encourages and uplifts each other rather than basing our perspective on how we look. I’ve always had insecurities about weight and body type but I’ve learned to love myself in my worst or best. So if ya felt a little broken on how you look remind yourself how beautiful you are today. Life is too short. Live life to your utmost and love those around you. Gear yourself to try your best and life will come up with the rest. Thanks two these two as well @cheissaz & @aloha.frances 💯💪💛 #215lbsdeadlift #seeyoulatersecondhome (at JBPHH Fitness Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/B99VxXGhWXa4Rp9d8h2enDqu4R9nkc-M8BCBzg0/?igshid=1urgg6jsd2l4h

repost from @fryoung So as many of you know... today I’m doing a powerlifting meet and I haven’t done any training for powerlifting since like January —> March of 2017. We moved; I kept random training then did a body fat cut, and then decided to start training with only about 9 weeks to train for this meet. I couldn’t have done it at all without the support of my family but also my awesome trainer & Coach Jed. I have to give a huge shout out to him. I’ve never quite been so lucky to have someone be so invested in my success as this guy right here @hodge_built808 - .... but he not only puts up with my neediness 3x week but he basically told me a month ago he was gonna be here to support me today... I couldn’t have told him no. That’s how dedicated he is. He cancelled all his Saturday clients and got up super early to be here and be my coach. As you can see in my final bench lift; this guy is awesome. We are both taking a mini nap while the many many guys lift. But seriously, He’s as invested as they come and I’m so thankful for his experience and support. 🌟🙌🏼💪🏼 Shout out to my sweet family for coming and supporting me today as well and my sweet husband James for getting this video. I’m surrounded by awesome people & so very grateful. Thank you! #jbphhfitnesscenter #jbphh #powerliftingmeet #jbphhpowerliftingmeet #womenwholift #benchpress #175lbs 🙌🏼✔️💪🏼 at a body weight of 147lbs. #letsdothis @powerhousegymaiea #grateful #armystrong #armynurse #hodgebuilt #powerhousegym #powerhousegymaiea #womenwholift #womenwithmuscle #powerlifting #powerlifter #femalepowerlifter (at JBPHH Fitness Centers - Sanctioned Page)

Enjoyed this morning's PHOSC spouse club's Welcome Event at Foster's Point on the JBPHH base. It was so great to see old friends and meet new ones. We played a fun game at each row of tables that forced us to mingle, like speed dating but it was called speed friendship, 2 minutes each and then we switched chairs to the left and had optional ice breaker questions to pick out of a hat. We also made hair clips out of fresh and dried lei flowers led by Gina and her coworker from @eco.mindful.lei (at Foster Point Pavilion - Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cioyw0oOQ91/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

SO FUCKEN PILAU!!! TYPICAL GOVERNMENT BULLSHIT. THIS IS A FUCKEN JOKE. Reposted from @signaturefoils_oahu Reposted from @sierraclubhi Starting yesterday, hydrants on JBPHH were opened up, allowing fuel-contaminated water to head into storm drains. This is what the Navy meant by "flushing" after finding petroleum in its pumping well. This "solution" not only wastes untold amounts of what was once pure water, but also exposes birds, pets, plants, and fish and other aquatic life to unknown petroleum contaminants. The “ecotoxicity” section of the JP-5 jet fuel safety data sheet specifically says that JP-5 should be “kept out of sewers, drainage areas and waterways,” and that spills and releases, as applicable, should be reported under federal and state regulation. The “environmental precautions” section states: “Protect bodies of water by diking, absorbents, or absorbent boom, if possible. Do not flush down sewer or drainage systems, unless system is designed and permitted to handle such material.” These publicly available safety information could not be more succinct. On top of that, this is common sense. Just when we thought the Navy’s response to this catastrophe could not get worse, its reckless disregard reaches a whole new horrific level. Dumping petroleum-contaminated water into the environment to poison birds, pets, fish, and other aquatic life after already poisoning military families is ecocide. You don’t dispose of petroleum down the drain. You just don’t. The short-term and long-term risks of even more health and environmental catastrophes are unimaginable. The Navy does not care about this ʻāina and its people. Shut down Red Hill now, safely and swiftly clean up your mess, implement an emergency remediation plan, and compensate the people you have poisoned and continue to put at risk. https://www.instagram.com/p/CXGDDwYrN4o/?utm_medium=tumblr
