Physicians against nuclear war

This week’s featured video was made in 1982 when physicians from around the world got together to demand the elimination of nuclear weapons. PUHIPAU means “blown away, completely burned.” The word aptly describes this sobering look at the medical and social effects of a theoretical nuclear attack on Hawai‘i. Remember Pearl Harbor? With North Korea’s recent threats, the U.S. military’s presence here makes Hawai‘i once again a target.

Order “Puhipau” on DVD.

Lopaka Brown in court

Lopaka Brown will be in court this Friday challenging the jurisdiction of the state government. If you want to join him in support, be at traffic court, Room 4 of the Alakea Street court building, this Friday at 1:30 pm. He considers this a journey back to his beloved Hawaiian Kingdom and, ultimately, his home at Waimea Valley, where he sang the song “No Tell Me Go” back in 1984, a few months before he and his family were evicted from their homestead by Waimea Falls Park.

No Nukes!
