SUPERFERRY - SINK OR SWIM? ON VOICES OF TRUTH - ONE-ON-ONE WITH HAWAI`I'S FUTURE
This will be the definitive week for the Superferry.
The state House passed the Superferry bill only after removing all amendments that would have created protection for Hawai`i’s marine life and environment.
So much for listening to the people.
The focus now moves to the Hawai`i state Senate.
They hold the key to whether the Superferry will sail before an environmental impact statement is completed.
By now two things are common knowledge – the primary reason for the Superferry is actually US military based and not civilian.
And political donations from Superferry investors to Linda Lingle and other elected officials are the real driving force behind what the legislature will decides.
In other words, business as usual.
The solution? A Free Hawai`i .
In a Free Hawai`i there would be no foreign occupier driving the agenda.
In a Free Hawai`i all it’s citizens would decide what’s best for them, their family and future.
And in a Free Hawai`i elected officials would actually serve the people who elected them, and not rich foreigners living thousands of miles away who have the power to corrupt and pervert our Island Nation.
Whatever the Legislature decides this coming week will only be the end of round one.
The people who love their land will continue to stand and fight for what’s right. In reality, it is they who will decide the outcome.
And we have two outstanding examples this week right here on Voices Of Truth – One-On-One With Hawai`i’s Future.

“Super(Military)Ferry – A Visit With Jeff Satcher”
“No Super (Military) Ferry in Kawaihae.” That’s what Jeff Satcher says.
Jeff knows one of the main reasons they’re pushing the Superferry so hard in Hawai`i – transport of US military vehicles.
Living in Hawai`i for only a few years, he’s already been accepted with aloha by the broad Kawaihae community opposing the Superferry.
Volunteering his time, energy, resources and high-tech skills, Jeff’s practically a one-man communication center for inter-island collaboration between the quickly expanding groups of activists outraged by the state and federal governments’ arrogant disregard for the law and will of the people.
Jeff reminds us “the port facilities at Kawaihae can’t handle the military vehicles, materiel and personnel that will be the Superferrys’ bread and butter cargo. Our roads can't even handle the existing traffic.”
Don’t miss one of our most fascinating interviews yet as Jeff reveals one of the main people who are behind the Superferry – a former US Secretary of the Navy. You’ll see why the US wants to be able to transport military vehicles and equipment to the neighbor islands on a daily basis - but not if Jeff Satcher and his allies can help stop it.
TUESDAY, October 30th At 6:30 PM & WEDNESDAY, October 31st At 6:30 AM – Maui – Akaku, Channel 53
“Radio Free Kaua`i – A Visit With Ka`iulani Edens-Huff”
Ka`iulani Edens-Huff, Kanaka Maoli national and local talk-radio hostess is known for more than just talk. She also walks her talk.
With many years of active community involvement on Kaua`i, an issue came along recently that galvanized her even more – the Superferry.
Suddenly the microphone at KKCR radio was used to call the entire island to rise up in active opposition to the Superferry.
It worked – over one thousand residents answered Ka`iulani’s call and turned out at Nawiliwili harbor to stop the Superferry on its maiden trip.
A devoted wife and mother, yet never one to shy from controversy, Ka`iulani’s radio show, Songs of Sovereignty contains not only Hawaiian music, but information about current struggles on Kaua`i and throughout the Hawaiian Nation.
How can one wahine be so brave?
You’ll want to see this one, as we catch Ka`iu outside the radio, down at Nawiliwili Harbor, and inside the Superferry “security zone”. Be prepared for threats of bodily harm, pepper-spray and wall slamming. Join Ka`iulani in action, but you’d better be ready to rumble.
Voices Of Truth interviews those creating a better future for Hawai`i to discover what made them go from armchair observers to active participants in the hopes of inspiring viewers to do the same.
