The notion of «resort» and «vacation» is a powerful egregor. Not limited to so-called capitalism.
The very idea of toiling for eleven months to «earn» a right to get packed into a can (plane/ship) and go to a place of warm beer, sweaty women and loud pop music, just to suffer some more... incredibly stupid but incredibly powerful.
It seems to be under attack though. «You won't go to Hawaii, and you'll be happy». Who said Schwabsters can't accidentally get something right?
Haven't been in an old folks' home yet, only in a hospital a few times over the years; the hospital came across as way more peaceful and comfortable than the average resort.
I spent 32 days recently sleeping and mostly living in my wife's hospital room and attribute her death to doctoring. It was a horrible experience. I have visited Kauai in Hawaii three times over 26 years with Judith. No resort, cheap ass hotel or for our first visit a massage therapist had a house and he rented out rooms. The internet had just made it to the island in a cafe our first visit.
Steigel, here's a local explaining the old Lahaina, before it became a Rodeo-Drive ( my mind, santa-monica, & santa-fe )

Protest on Maui
How do we actually make change? For over a hundred years Maui locals have had their wai taken from them by large American corporations. Even in the present day, companies like Alexander and Baldwin, literally one of the Big Five companies that stole Hawai'i from the Hawaiian people, continue to divert water for development. We've just moved from having our wai stolen from us by plantations, to having it stolen by golf courses, hotels, and resorts instead. It drives me absolutely crazy. When I walk through Wailea or Ka'anapali, I see green everywhere. Fresh water everywhere. When I worked in Lahaina, the town was always dry as a bone. It was once covered in fresh water streams, springs, and lo'i patches. You could paddle your boat all the way to Waiola Church. All of this water, had we been able to keep it, would have not only helped sustain our community in a non-exploitative way, but also would have protected us against fires. Nowadays, sacred springs like Mokuhinia have been paved over, and the mo'o that protects it wanders around the burnt out wreck of Lahaina with an air of "I told you so." We need our water back. I honestly feel unsafe living on a Maui this dry. Winds like this will come again, and when that happens, who's to say towns like Makawao, or Kihei, or Pa'ia won't go the same way Lahaina has gone. Taking this wai has become more than just a way to extinguish Hawaiian life ways and destroy Hawaiian ecosystems. It's literally endangering our lives, and all for golf, and the relaxation of visitors at this point. I'm just so tired of it. I want the waters returned to Lahaina and the rest of Maui. I want the rebuild to be for Kanaka and Kama'aina, not for rich mainlanders. To me, that means building a Lahaina that's lush and green with its streams rediverted. I know it's possible too. Community activists in Ke'anae fought for decades to have their streams rediverted, and eventually succeeded, creating one of the only spots on the island where you can be surrounded by taro fields. We need to do something! If I wanted to protest on Maui for the redirection of streams, who would come with me? We need to gather enough people at the county seat in Wailuku that we can't be ignored.
The treaty of annexation is illegal as it is Unsigned. Hawaii is a nation, not a State. Enforcement of this fact is the forward path. Independence. And after Maui the iron is hot.
I like your argument, but what about this guy who claims to work in native gov ..
..
Unlike our Native American cousins, Kanaka Maoli are not a federally recognized tribe. Because Hawaii joined the United States in a international legal treaty of annexation. So unlike your tribe, that has a history of American colonialism. Hawaiians and Hawaii were not victims of American colonialism. Kanaka Maoli was designated as Americans with no special status like our Native American cousins.
”Similarly, could they get some kind of assistance from the Native Legal Aid Association if they need advocacy from a larger, nationally based group?”
There is no native rights being violated that the legal aid could fight against.
Hawaii during the great Mahele land divisions had a changed to private property legal systems from the collective ownership of the sovereign monarchy. Unlike our Native American cousins, our monarch and chieftains (Ali’i) decided willingly to privatize the lands and give it away to native peoples for 2 years before any non-native could own land.
Land ownership records are the best kept records in Hawaii. There is little room for dispute on landownership.
For example. The “stolen” crown lands
There isn’t “stolen land” as is pushed by many Native Hawaiian sovereignty groups, the crown lands transferred from the monarch to the government upon the death of the last monarch without an heir, the monarch became a elected position and the crown lands became government property of the kingdom and not the personal property of the throne.
When the over throw happened in 1893. The crown lands became the property of the provisional government, then with the formal abdication of Queen Liliuokalani of her throne in 1895, the Republic of Hawaii held the crown lands, then with the annexation treaty in 1898 the crown lands became part of the US government, but with the organic act of 1901 that land was returned to the newly formed territory of Hawaii to be held in public trust for the people of Hawaii, a land trust responsibility that continued when Hawaii voted for statehood in 1959.
There is a clear unbroken chain of ownership and records of the crown lands going back to the great Mahele.
TLDR: As the legal aid is helpful, the land rights and ownership are very clear in Hawaii and has been long before the overthrow of 1893. These records are very well kept.
There is an entire industry of Native Hawaiian advocates and non-profits that “advocates” for native rights consistently. I work as a advocate myself in a Native Organization.
Hawaii joined the United States in a international legal treaty of annexation.
The truth claim above rests on a lawful treaty signed.
This is not correct.
During the 19th Century, Western influence grew. David Kalākaua was the last king of Hawaii, ruling from 1874 to 1891. In 1885, following a tradition of treaties favoring the United States, he signed a trade reciprocity treaty with the United States. This free-trade agreement made it possible for sugar to be sold to the U.S. market tax-free.
By 1887, when the Reciprocity Treaty was renewed, the Kingdom of Hawaii was overrun by white landowners, missionaries, and businessmen. The king promoted Hawaiian culture and traditions, but Hawaiian sovereignty suffered. U.S. sugar plantation owners came to dominate the politics of the islands. Their presence impacted social and economic life as well – the landholding system changed, and many aspects of traditional culture were prohibited, including teaching the Hawaiian language and performing the native Hula dance.
On July 6, 1887, a militia affiliated with the Hawaiian League, a non-native mostly U.S. businessmen's political party opposed to the king, under the leadership of Lorrin Thurston, threatened King Kalākaua. He was forced to sign a new constitution stripping him of his power and many native Hawaiians of their rights. It also replaced the cabinet with non-native politicians and businessmen. The new constitution came to be known as the "Bayonet Constitution" because Kalākaua signed it under duress.
When King Kalākaua died in 1891, his sister Lili'uokalani succeeded him. Though she introduced a new constitution that would restore her power and Hawaiian rights, she would be Hawaii's last monarch. Her move was countered by the "Committee of Safety," a group of non-native U.S. businessmen and politicians with sugar interests. Led by Sanford Dole, they had monetary reasons for doing so – they feared that the United States would establish a tariff on sugar imports, endangering their profits, and wanted to protect Hawaii's free-trade status. The United States was the major importer of Hawaiian agricultural products.
Supported by John Stevens, the U.S. Minister to Hawaii, and a contingent of Marines from the warship, U.S.S. Boston, the Committee overthrew Queen Lili'uokalani in a bloodless coup on January 17, 1893. The Committee of Safety proclaimed itself to be the Provisional Government. Without permission from the U.S. State Department, Minister Stevens recognized the new government and proclaimed Hawaii a U.S. protectorate. President Benjamin Harrison signed a treaty of annexation with the new government. Before the Senate could ratify it, however, Grover Cleveland replaced Harrison as president and subsequently withdrew the treaty.
Dole sent a delegation to Washington in 1894 seeking annexation. Instead, President Cleveland appointed special investigator James Blount to look into the events in the Hawaiian Islands. The Blount Commission found that Lili’uokalani had been overthrown illegally, and ordered that the American flag be lowered from Hawaiian government buildings. Lili'uokalani never regained power, however. Sanford Dole, leader of the Committee of Safety and the president of the Provisional Government of Hawaii, refused to turn over power. Dole argued that the United States had no right to interfere in the internal affairs of Hawaii. The Provisional Government then proclaimed Hawaii a republic – the Republic of Hawaii – in 1894, with Dole its first president.
The overthrow of Lili'uokalani and imposition of the Republic of Hawaii was contrary to the will of the native Hawaiians. In fact, there had been a series of rebellions by Native Hawaiians since the imposition of the Bayonet Constitution in 1887. On January 5, 1895, during the "Wilcox Rebellion," an armed revolt was suppressed by Republic of Hawaii forces. The leaders of the revolt were imprisoned along with Queen Lili'uokalani.
In March of 1897, William McKinley was inaugurated as President of the United States. McKinley was in favor of annexation, and the change in leadership was soon felt. On June 16, 1897, McKinley and three representatives of the government of the Republic of Hawaii – Lorrin Thurston, Francis Hatch, and William Kinney – signed a treaty of annexation. President McKinley then submitted the treaty to the U.S. Senate for ratification.
Queen Liliuokalani and her fellow citizens successfully protested the annexation by petitioning Congress. Native Hawaiian groups organized a mass petition drive. They hoped that if the U.S. government realized that the majority of native Hawaiian citizens opposed annexation, the move to annex Hawaii would be stopped. In the fall of 1897, a Petition Against Annexation was signed by 21,269 native Hawaiian people – more than half of the 39,000 native Hawaiians and mixed-blood persons reported by the Hawaiian Commission census that year. A Hawaiian delegation brought the petition to Washington, DC; and the delegates and Lili'uokalani met with Senators. Their petition was read to the Senate and formally accepted. By the time the delegates left Washington in February 1898, only 46 senators were willing to vote for annexation and the treaty was defeated.
Other events, however, immediately brought the subject of annexation up again. On February 15, 1898, the U.S. Battleship Maine was blown up in Havana Harbor in Cuba. The ensuing Spanish-American War, part of which was fought in the Philippine Islands, established the argument that the Hawaiian islands would be strategically valuable as a mid-Pacific fueling station and naval installation.
The pro-annexation forces in Congress submitted a proposal to annex the Hawaiian Islands by joint resolution, which required only a simple majority vote in both houses. This controversial approach eliminated the 2/3 majority needed to ratify a treaty; as a result, the necessary support for annexation was in place. House Joint Resolution 259, 55th Congress, 2nd session, known as the "Newlands Resolution," passed Congress and was signed into law by President McKinley on July 7, 1898 — the Hawaiian islands were officially annexed by the United States. Sanford Dole became the first Governor of the Territory of Hawaii.
In a last, unsuccessful attempt to return control of her homeland to native Hawaiians, Queen Lili’uokalani sent a letter of protest to the U.S. House of Representatives. She stated that her throne had been taken illegally, and that any U.S. efforts to annex Hawaii without the due process of law would be unacceptable.
As a territory, Hawaii had little power in the U.S. government, holding only one, non-voting representative in the House of Representatives. The territory status allowed rich, white plantation owners to import cheap labor and export their products to the mainland with low tariffs. These landowners used their power to keep Hawaii in territorial status. Native Hawaiians and non-white Hawaiian residents, however, began to push for statehood. These residents wanted the same rights as U.S. citizens living in one of the 48 states. They wanted a voting representative in Congress and the right to elect their own governor and judges, who were currently appointed.
Over the course of the next 50 years, the Territory of Hawaii worked to achieve statehood. The legislature sent multiple proposals to Congress including a joint resolution requesting statehood in 1903, only to be denied. Other resolutions were similarly ignored. In 1937, a congressional committee found that Hawaii met all qualifications for statehood and held a vote on statehood in Hawaii. Although this resulted in a vote in favor of statehood, the attack at Pearl Harbor paused all talks as the Japanese population in Hawaii came under suspicion by the U.S. government. After the war, Hawaii’s territorial delegate, Joe Farrington, revived the battle for statehood. The House debated and passed multiple Hawaii statehood bills, but the Senate did not vote on them. Hawaiian activist groups, students, and political bodies sent in letters endorsing statehood in hopes of spurring congressional action. Then in the 1950s, Congress combined Hawaii’s statehood bid with Alaska’s. Congress ultimately decided to first grant statehood to Alaska, a then-Democratic leaning territory, in early 1959. With this new Democratic state, Congress was now open to granting the then-Republican leaning Hawaii statehood to restore political balance.
Finally, in March 1959, a Hawaii statehood resolution passed both the House and the Senate, and President Eisenhower signed it into law. That June, the citizens of Hawaii voted on a referendum to accept the statehood bill. On August 21, 1959, President Eisenhower signed the official proclamation admitting Hawaii as the 50th state, marking the end of over half a century of work for Hawaiian statehood.
So it sounds like the 'people' working at the Hawai'i 'native office' are pretty much bought&paid real-estate lobbyists? Golf Course spokesmen?
What about their argument that Hawaiian Natives had their own 'ownership certificates' going back to baby-jeebuz era? Seems to me these people would have been communal, and had no need to 'own the land', or 'hold a title';
Well one thing damn clear as in China, by the people "The Missionary's' that created shang-kai-shek, the so called Christian Missionary's were all just a front for the 'east indian compay' ( big opium ) and land theft
A cult that bears the 'cross of crucification' as it icon pillaging the entire earth for jeebuz, fitting that today "GREEN" the ZOG asshole of ZOG-ism rules over Satanic Hawai'i
... ( I was curious to know their history )
I studied 'zionism' as a kid, from 1880's books at a decent college library ( I think it was UCLA ), hell at one time they wanted all the Willamette-Valley in Oregon as their "Zionist-New Israel" homeland, and of course you can guess it, they also proclaimed that "Hawaiian Islands" were to be Israel, growing up in LA as a kid, where there was a shit-ton of Jews, who also said that "All of BAJA mexico should be Israel"
Pretty fucking clear that 'all nice places' on earth belong to GODS CHOSEN people
Bilbo go back in time. You miss everything in a sense without an impartial view from the surface of the Lunar Disneyland of the antics of Manunkind.
I found and read this book twice. Edward Kritzler tells the tale of an unlikely group of swashbuckling Jews who ransacked the high seas in the aftermath of the Spanish Inquisition. At the end of the fifteenth century, many Jews had to flee Spain and Portugal. The most adventurous among them took to the seas as freewheeling outlaws. In ships bearing names such as the Prophet Samuel, Queen Esther, and Shield of Abraham, they attacked and plundered the Spanish fleet while forming alliances with other European powers to ensure the safety of Jews living in hiding. Filled with high-sea adventures–including encounters with Captain Morgan and other legendary pirates–Jewish Pirates of the Caribbean reveals a hidden chapter in Jewish history as well as the cruelty, terror, and greed that flourished during the Age of Discovery.
Jewish UK dominated London Piracy just one word "Buggery"
Even the French called them "Buggers", those that ass-fucked other men.
Jewish Piracy, then & Now is what I call "RINO", which is another name for Sodomy.
...
Yep find it clever that great sodomite & fascist Nazi "Walt Disney", would glorify his pirates who never left port without 1/2 a dozen 'cabin boys'
...
1950's Disney was naive USA, always wholesome bullshit, but 1990's Florida Disneyland is Satanic, I found it odd that they had faux western saloons with faux whores selling beer; The old disney in anaheim was milkshakes & 1950's leave it to beaver;
I suspect that the next Disneyland in USA will be full on pedophilia, with Michael Jacksons Neverland being the central Pedo Attraction.
Depopping the locals especially the local children.
Why would zillionaires want to live on an AI controlled island. Is it to be utopia for them with their utopian experience heightened by the dystopia of their neighbours.
How are the zillionaires so confident that they are to be spared. What do they have in common, other than money, that makes them feel special.
There seems to be three kinds of rich in the Hawaiian's
1.) ophrah celeb types, bought 100's acres ages ago, cheap-cheap, but there are 100's of these type's, celebs are a dime a dozen, some say Lahaina is/was just RODEO-DRIVE (CALIF, Santa-Monica) which again, goes back to'why they hated them so much'
2.) high-tech NSA control freaks, gates, ellison, bezos, fuckerberger, musk,
3.) Obama lucky lotto GOV Oligrarchs, think HRC, same-same huge MIL like compounds built for armegeddon
...
In all cases, these are get-away's and really an 'investment', while they paid millions, (even gates/ellison deal they only paid $180M for all of lanai ), that is not big money
When CHINA arrives to start building their PORT, these property's will be worth BILLIONS, as the SAUDI budget for MAUI-PORT is $1.5 Trillion USD
...
If the USD collapses like many think, not only was this a safe place to park your wealth, but when you sell you will get YUAN backed by GOLD
[ +120 comments all containing links to videos & eyewitness reports, that will all get scrubbed by google search in coming weeks, and of course the utube vids will go down, because if the narrative aint 'climate-change' your persona-non-grata ]
MAUI FIRE(S): Lahaina Destroyed Mission Accomplished - But why now?
Ron Paul some +10 years ago, called for Israel becoming the HONG-KONG of the Atlantic Ocean. They also called for the "Hawaiian Islands" to become a HONG-KONG Pacific Ocean; China "SILK ROAD" Two Hub's; Haifa-Port hub Atlantic ( completed ), and now Maui-Port to be Saudi funded, but all that stands in the way is those pesky feral human vermin
Super land owner of MAUI "BEZOS" even considering calling the PORT "The Amazon Port"
Now when you hear people say "Hong-Kong of blah", first thing you need to know is that standing on the water front of Hong-Kong and look in any direction north or south, all you see is 'towers' as far as the eye can see, its mind-boggling, and if you think that shit is 'green' and earth friendly I have some satanic cheese to sell you
Like COVID like the BLIND-MEN & The Elephant, this is a HUGE damn elephant with a million appendages all being held by blind men with opinions about the 'fire' that ate LAHAINA
What is clear is that even the Natives ( some cuckoo's who knows ) wanted Lahania like the water master that turned off the water and said "Water precious, Lahaina don't deserve our precious",
Then we were told the HECO couldn't turn off the power to the arcing lines on the ground, cuz the water pumps need the power, then it turns out that the water pumps have their own diesel generators.
What is clear is that the time-line don't lie
7:30am down power lines, people called in, fire dept came out put out the fires and left
10am fires restarted, but by then the water had been turned off, so locals couldn't even water their own homes
[ The 10am to 3pm is critical here, witnesses say the fire dept just disappeared, maybe after the morning fires they just took the day off early? ]
3pm fires crossed the highway into town
4:30pm the county finally put out an "ALERT" on their website that said "Lahaina" is on fire
Sometime around 3pm the pigs started putting up road blocks in all directions, which made a lot of people u-turn; The survivors of course just blew through the road-blocks or went around them seem like local knowledge and 'back-roads' are what separated life & death.
...
All the big-wigs were off island or gone mainland. There seems to be a lot of upcountry, them low-landing self-righteous town folks got what they deserved.
Then there is the issue of flammable grass-lands all owned by GOV, who every time they had a meeting to fund the grass-cutting NO FUNDS were made available
Oh but the good news now they get $10 Billion from uncle Biden to rebuild their 15 minute city
The notion of «resort» and «vacation» is a powerful egregor. Not limited to so-called capitalism.
The very idea of toiling for eleven months to «earn» a right to get packed into a can (plane/ship) and go to a place of warm beer, sweaty women and loud pop music, just to suffer some more... incredibly stupid but incredibly powerful.
It seems to be under attack though. «You won't go to Hawaii, and you'll be happy». Who said Schwabsters can't accidentally get something right?
Yes, resorts are like institutions.
Might as well live in an old folks' home.
Haven't been in an old folks' home yet, only in a hospital a few times over the years; the hospital came across as way more peaceful and comfortable than the average resort.

She stated that her throne had been taken illegally, and that any U.S. efforts to annex Hawaii without the due process of law would be unacceptable.
As a territory, Hawaii had little power in the U.S. government, holding only one, non-voting representative in the House of Representatives. The territory status allowed rich, white plantation owners to import cheap labor and export their products to the mainland with low tariffs. These landowners used their power to keep Hawaii in territorial status. Native Hawaiians and non-white Hawaiian residents, however, began to push for statehood. These residents wanted the same rights as U.S. citizens living in one of the 48 states. They wanted a voting representative in Congress and the right to elect their own governor and judges, who were currently appointed.
Over the course of the next 50 years, the Territory of Hawaii worked to achieve statehood. The legislature sent multiple proposals to Congress including a joint resolution requesting statehood in 1903, only to be denied. Other resolutions were similarly ignored. In 1937, a congressional committee found that Hawaii met all qualifications for statehood and held a vote on statehood in Hawaii. Although this resulted in a vote in favor of statehood, the attack at Pearl Harbor paused all talks as the Japanese population in Hawaii came under suspicion by the U.S. government. After the war, Hawaii’s territorial delegate, Joe Farrington, revived the battle for statehood. The House debated and passed multiple Hawaii statehood bills, but the Senate did not vote on them. Hawaiian activist groups, students, and political bodies sent in letters endorsing statehood in hopes of spurring congressional action. Then in the 1950s, Congress combined Hawaii’s statehood bid with Alaska’s. Congress ultimately decided to first grant statehood to Alaska, a then-Democratic leaning territory, in early 1959. With this new Democratic state, Congress was now open to granting the then-Republican leaning Hawaii statehood to restore political balance.
Finally, in March 1959, a Hawaii statehood resolution passed both the House and the Senate, and President Eisenhower signed it into law. That June, the citizens of Hawaii voted on a referendum to accept the statehood bill. On August 21, 1959, President Eisenhower signed the official proclamation admitting Hawaii as the 50th state, marking the end of over half a century of work for Hawaiian statehood.
So it sounds like the 'people' working at the Hawai'i 'native office' are pretty much bought&paid real-estate lobbyists? Golf Course spokesmen?
What about their argument that Hawaiian Natives had their own 'ownership certificates' going back to baby-jeebuz era? Seems to me these people would have been communal, and had no need to 'own the land', or 'hold a title';
Well one thing damn clear as in China, by the people "The Missionary's' that created shang-kai-shek, the so called Christian Missionary's were all just a front for the 'east indian compay' ( big opium ) and land theft
A cult that bears the 'cross of crucification' as it icon pillaging the entire earth for jeebuz, fitting that today "GREEN" the ZOG asshole of ZOG-ism rules over Satanic Hawai'i
... ( I was curious to know their history )
I studied 'zionism' as a kid, from 1880's books at a decent college library ( I think it was UCLA ), hell at one time they wanted all the Willamette-Valley in Oregon as their "Zionist-New Israel" homeland, and of course you can guess it, they also proclaimed that "Hawaiian Islands" were to be Israel, growing up in LA as a kid, where there was a shit-ton of Jews, who also said that "All of BAJA mexico should be Israel"
Pretty fucking clear that 'all nice places' on earth belong to GODS CHOSEN people
Bilbo go back in time. You miss everything in a sense without an impartial view from the surface of the Lunar Disneyland of the antics of Manunkind.
I found and read this book twice. Edward Kritzler tells the tale of an unlikely group of swashbuckling Jews who ransacked the high seas in the aftermath of the Spanish Inquisition. At the end of the fifteenth century, many Jews had to flee Spain and Portugal. The most adventurous among them took to the seas as freewheeling outlaws. In ships bearing names such as the Prophet Samuel, Queen Esther, and Shield of Abraham, they attacked and plundered the Spanish fleet while forming alliances with other European powers to ensure the safety of Jews living in hiding. Filled with high-sea adventures–including encounters with Captain Morgan and other legendary pirates–Jewish Pirates of the Caribbean reveals a hidden chapter in Jewish history as well as the cruelty, terror, and greed that flourished during the Age of Discovery.

Jewish UK dominated London Piracy just one word "Buggery"
Even the French called them "Buggers", those that ass-fucked other men.
Jewish Piracy, then & Now is what I call "RINO", which is another name for Sodomy.
...
Yep find it clever that great sodomite & fascist Nazi "Walt Disney", would glorify his pirates who never left port without 1/2 a dozen 'cabin boys'
...
1950's Disney was naive USA, always wholesome bullshit, but 1990's Florida Disneyland is Satanic, I found it odd that they had faux western saloons with faux whores selling beer; The old disney in anaheim was milkshakes & 1950's leave it to beaver;
I suspect that the next Disneyland in USA will be full on pedophilia, with Michael Jacksons Neverland being the central Pedo Attraction.
The zillionaires want to live in Hawaii.
They want the Lahaina land.
They want Hawaii to be a smart 15 minute island.
Depopping the locals especially the local children.
Why would zillionaires want to live on an AI controlled island. Is it to be utopia for them with their utopian experience heightened by the dystopia of their neighbours.
How are the zillionaires so confident that they are to be spared. What do they have in common, other than money, that makes them feel special.
There seems to be three kinds of rich in the Hawaiian's
1.) ophrah celeb types, bought 100's acres ages ago, cheap-cheap, but there are 100's of these type's, celebs are a dime a dozen, some say Lahaina is/was just RODEO-DRIVE (CALIF, Santa-Monica) which again, goes back to'why they hated them so much'
2.) high-tech NSA control freaks, gates, ellison, bezos, fuckerberger, musk,
3.) Obama lucky lotto GOV Oligrarchs, think HRC, same-same huge MIL like compounds built for armegeddon
...
In all cases, these are get-away's and really an 'investment', while they paid millions, (even gates/ellison deal they only paid $180M for all of lanai ), that is not big money
When CHINA arrives to start building their PORT, these property's will be worth BILLIONS, as the SAUDI budget for MAUI-PORT is $1.5 Trillion USD
...
If the USD collapses like many think, not only was this a safe place to park your wealth, but when you sell you will get YUAN backed by GOLD
Are there one billion billionaires for the goddess' tally. One billionaire needs a lot of slaves so what's to be the ratio.
How good is your math.
If one billionaire needs a thousand slaves, how many billionaires is that.
Ok, I did my local dump, now I'm going to put on my BILLIONAIRE Oligarch HAT, an hold the elephants legs and explain things from their point of view

MAUI FIRE(S): Lahaina Destroyed Mission Accomplished - But why now?
Ron Paul some +10 years ago, called for Israel becoming the HONG-KONG of the Atlantic Ocean. They also called for the "Hawaiian Islands" to become a HONG-KONG Pacific Ocean; China "SILK ROAD" Two Hub's; Haifa-Port hub Atlantic ( completed ), and now Maui-Port to be Saudi funded, but all that stands in the way is those pesky feral human vermin
Super land owner of MAUI "BEZOS" even considering calling the PORT "The Amazon Port"
Now when you hear people say "Hong-Kong of blah", first thing you need to know is that standing on the water front of Hong-Kong and look in any direction north or south, all you see is 'towers' as far as the eye can see, its mind-boggling, and if you think that shit is 'green' and earth friendly I have some satanic cheese to sell you
Like COVID like the BLIND-MEN & The Elephant, this is a HUGE damn elephant with a million appendages all being held by blind men with opinions about the 'fire' that ate LAHAINA
What is clear is that even the Natives ( some cuckoo's who knows ) wanted Lahania like the water master that turned off the water and said "Water precious, Lahaina don't deserve our precious",
Then we were told the HECO couldn't turn off the power to the arcing lines on the ground, cuz the water pumps need the power, then it turns out that the water pumps have their own diesel generators.
What is clear is that the time-line don't lie
7:30am down power lines, people called in, fire dept came out put out the fires and left
10am fires restarted, but by then the water had been turned off, so locals couldn't even water their own homes
[ The 10am to 3pm is critical here, witnesses say the fire dept just disappeared, maybe after the morning fires they just took the day off early? ]
3pm fires crossed the highway into town
4:30pm the county finally put out an "ALERT" on their website that said "Lahaina" is on fire
Sometime around 3pm the pigs started putting up road blocks in all directions, which made a lot of people u-turn; The survivors of course just blew through the road-blocks or went around them seem like local knowledge and 'back-roads' are what separated life & death.
...
All the big-wigs were off island or gone mainland. There seems to be a lot of upcountry, them low-landing self-righteous town folks got what they deserved.
Then there is the issue of flammable grass-lands all owned by GOV, who every time they had a meeting to fund the grass-cutting NO FUNDS were made available
Oh but the good news now they get $10 Billion from uncle Biden to rebuild their 15 minute city
