STOPPING THE MADNESS ON VOICES OF TRUTH - ONE-ON-ONE WITH HAWAI`I'S FUTURE
The news keeps going from bad to worse for the Superferry.
On top of inclement weather, cracks were discovered in the Superferry’s auxiliary rudder this past week, causing a further delay in service and of course stranded passengers and vehicles.
Mainstream media now wonder aloud how soon the Superferry will be bankrupt.
Ironically it turns out the Superferry never really had a chance to impact the environment like many feared – rather it’s the environment which has doomed the Superferry.
Not to be outdone, the Lingle administration is now planning to spend one third of a billion dollars building a pier in Lahaina harbor for cruise ships and the Superferry which will destroy a surf spot and canoe course and raise freight costs for everyone.
Naturally the people of Maui who love their land have plenty to say about that because they know it’s the freighters, which bring supplies to Maui that should have top priority.
Also this week the Office of Hawaiian Affairs announced a ceded land deal with the state government.
How can one arm of the illegal US occupying force trade what is rightfully Hawai`i National property to another arm of the illegal US occupying force and have it be anything other than a farce which is null and void?
Stay tuned to Free Hawai`i TV this week for breaking news on how you can kokua and kill this nonsense in its tracks.
If you wondering, “how do we stop this madness?” well, we have an answer for you this week on Voices of Truth.
Our brand new show featuring Ke`eaumoku Kapu illustrates how one individual can make a huge difference and make things right.
Ke`eaumoku’s a modern day konohiki, or caretaker of the `aina (land) who has stepped forward to protect both Hawai`i and its forgotten people. In doing so he has inspired countless others to do the same.
His message is the very essence of why we do our show.

“Hidden In The Forest – A Visit With Dr. Baron Kaho`ola Ching”
Deep in a rain forest in Nu`uanu Valley sits one of the most remarkable sites in all Hawai`i.
Imagine a place lost in time and space to the modern world – Kaniakapupu.
A palatial summer residence for Kauikeaoli, Kamehameha III, Kaniakapupu was built over one hundred seventy years ago spanning twenty thousand acres.
Ka La Ho`i Ho`i Ea, Sovereignty Restoration Day, was celebrated on the site in 1843 with over ten thousand guests attending.
Several key documents in Hawaiian history were drafted there and many of Hawai`i’s future rulers visited the residence as children.
Then time swallowed up and forgot Kaniakapupu until one day a few years back Baron cut through thick bamboo forests to rediscover it for himself.
What he saw stopped him in his tracks.
Since then, Baron has overseen the caretaking of this astounding place that time forgot.
Whatever you do, don’t miss our visit with Baron to Kaniakapupu. One of the most unique places in all of Hawai`i, you’ll go with us hiking through dense rain forest as we come face to face ourselves with the ancient residence and artifacts left untouched for almost two centuries in this incredible voyage of rediscovery that is sure to take your breath away.

“Modern Konohiki – A Visit With Ke`eaumoku Kapu”
“What is the destiny in your life?
“What is the history of this place and is there a place suitable for me?”
These are questions that drive the spirit of Ke`eaumoku Kapu, modern day warrior and protector of the `aina.
A former construction worker building houses and highways, Ke`eaumoku’s first awakening came during the 1993 Onipa`a March in Honolulu.
The second occurred when he found himself actually making concrete parts for the H-3 freeway, which eventually caused the desecration of ancient sites in Halawa Valley on O`ahu.
Needing to earn money to feed his family, he kept asking himself, “Is what I’m doing pono, is it just? Is the knowledge I’m acquiring through the corporate system legitimate, based on my life as an island person and Kanaka Maoli?”
Soon thereafter he walked in, quit his job and dedicated the rest of his life to answering the question, “Is there a way to create just with the unjust?”
Today he and his wife run no less than five associations dedicated to serving those threatened with losing their family land to corporate development.
Don’t miss Ke`eaumoku as he leads us through his own awakening that took him from someone whose life was run by US corporations to the warrior he is today who sits on the County of Maui Cultural Resources Commission and the Native Hawaiian Historic Preservation Council. See for yourself how he realized the “contemporary management system has nothing to do with our upbringing as Kanaka Maoli,” and the words he lives by – “we must do whatever we can because our land is at stake.”
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.
