Mahalo nui Anita Hofschneider and Civil Beat for shining a light on the true costs of the US Militaryʻs Pacific Pivot. There is so much in this report that resonates - with what Hawaiʻi has been subjected to historically and today and what the peoples of the CNMI are now facing as well. 

I was particularly moved to read that "CNMI Gov. Ralph Torres recently signed a bill to establish a political status commission to reevaluate the territory’s relationship with the U.S." 

Hawaiʻi should be so bold! It's not too late for us to pivot, too - away from America and being used as its far from home playing field for its Earth and Ocean killing war games.

I can't wait to read Part II.
