The “foreigners” or the people who are for TMT, want to build a Thirty Meter Telescope on top of one of Hawaii's most sacred landmarks that there is. Mauna Kea is what connects the earth or Papahanaumoku to the sky, Wakea. Mauna Kea also holds a watershed that could supply the people of Hawaii with fresh water for years on years if the waters go bad. The Hawaiians and allies to the Hawaiians are
