Mark Carpenter of Hawaii News Now talks with Tina Lia, founder of the environmental nonprofit Hawaii Unites that is challenging the state's bacteria-infected mosquito releases on Maui and Kauai. Lia says, "This could have a serious impact on the native birds that it's intended to save, because if there's a possibility that the mosquitoes could be more capable of transmitting the avian malaria, that could be devastating." Hawaii Unites is asking for support to protect the 'āina. Please donate to help us move our Maui legal case forward so that we can set a precedent for all islands.

Hawaii Unites' Founder Tina Lia testifies at the Hawaii Board of Land and Natural Resources meeting on 10/13/23. Despite serious information about the risks of the state's plan to release millions of bacteria-infected mosquitoes on the islands, the BLNR continues to railroad this project through. All islands are being targeted by biotech industry experimentation. Government agencies are lying to the people while selling out the sacred lands of Hawaii to corporate interests. HawaiiUnites.org

Tina Lia, founder of the environmental nonprofit Hawaii Unites, gives an overview and update on the State of Hawaii and its multi-agency partnership's release of billions of lab-infected mosquitoes. All islands are being targeted with this corporate experiment. The State DLNR has been funded to build out the insectary in their Hawaii lab where they intend to mass produce Wolbachia-infected and genetically modified pgSIT CRISPR technology mosquitoes for release on the islands. Plans are to continue the mosquito production and release project in "perpetuity" (forever).

Hawaii News Now promotes the state's dangerous plan to release billions of lab-infected mosquitoes on the islands. Hawaii Unites founder Tina Lia challenges the state's lack of study of the risks and their failure to comply with the Hawaii Environmental Policy Act: "We would have had an Environmental Impact Statement by now, if they had any intention of doing this per HEPA the way that they should have done it - to honor the public process, to honor these islands, to honor the environment, and to honor the native birds." ∙ ∙ ∙ HawaiiUnites.org

Hawaii Unites uncovers documents revealing the DLNR's secret mosquito lab on the islands. The Department of Land and Natural Resources has been funded by unknown sources to build out the insectary where they intend to mass produce 400,000 lab-infected mosquitoes every month for release throughout Hawai‘i. The DLNR will also be producing GMO mosquitoes in their Hawai‘i lab using pgSIT (precision guided sterile insect technique) CRISPR technology. This plan is intended to continue “in perpetuity” (forever). Hawaii Unites has taken action in court to stop this.

KITV4 News coverage of Hawaii Unites' Temporary Restraining Order and Preliminary Injunction filed against the State of Hawaii Board of Land and Natural Resources and Department of Land and Natural Resources to stop the release of biopesticide mosquitoes in East Maui ∙ ∙ ∙ HawaiiUnites.org

Tropical disease and vector expert Dr. Lorrin Pang talks about the need to study this mosquito biopesticide project more seriously, as it is irreversible once started. He explains his interaction with those managing the project. Pang also discusses a variety of topics, including conflict of interest; primaquine; gene alterations; censorship, book burning, and the shut down of open communication; the Nuremberg trials; and asking for an apology from legislators. ∙ ∙ ∙ with: Scott Adam, Liberty Arise! https://rumble.com/c/LibertyArise Tina Lia, Hawaii Unites https://hawaiiunites.org

Tropical disease and vector expert Dr. Lorrin Pang looks at the state’s math model and explains how wind drift, choke points, and rate-limiting steps can affect the outcome. He answers questions about the life span of female mosquitoes, how many female mosquitoes one accidentally released female mosquito can produce in her life span, and the potential number of females that may be released. The question of whether or not this mosquito biopesticide population control technique will actually work is also discussed, along with the federal document confirming that its degree of efficacy in remote forest landscapes is unknown. ∙ ∙ ∙ with: Scott Adam, Liberty Arise! https://rumble.com/c/LibertyArise Tina Lia, Hawaii Unites https://hawaiiunites.org

Tropical disease and vector expert Dr. Lorrin Pang explains how the antimalarial drugs primaquine and ivermectin can be used as an alternative approach to avian malaria, treating the mosquito stage of the cycle. Dr. Pang comes from a malaria background with forty years of experience. He has authored publications in peer-reviewed medical journals and has worked with the WHO and Walter Reed Institute’s Malaria Program. ∙ ∙ ∙ with: Scott Adam, Liberty Arise! https://rumble.com/c/LibertyArise Tina Lia, Hawaii Unites https://hawaiiunites.org

Tropical disease and vector expert Dr. Lorrin Pang explains horizontal transmission, or “horizontal spread,” of Wolbachia bacteria between hosts. He answers questions about Wolbachia causing increased pathogen infection in mosquitoes and other hosts, and whether or not the state is aware of the risks of horizontal transmission. Pang points out concerns about mosquitoes becoming a better vector of West Nile virus, and concerns about the spread of the Wolbachia bacteria to mosquitoes that transmit dengue fever and Zika virus. ∙ ∙ ∙ with: Scott Adam, Liberty Arise! https://rumble.com/c/LibertyArise Tina Lia, Hawaii Unites https://hawaiiunites.org

Dr. Lorrin Pang explains the Institute of Medicine’s definition of conflict of interest as “a set of circumstances that creates a risk that professional judgment or actions regarding a primary interest will be unduly influenced by a secondary interest.” The primary interests of concern include “promoting and protecting the integrity of research, the welfare of patients, and the quality of medical education.” Secondary interests “may include not only financial gain but also the desire for professional advancement, recognition for personal achievement, and favors to friends and family or to students and colleagues.” Pang adds that “conflict of fear” is also a concern, including fear of threats, defamatory remarks, and powerful detractors working backroom deals.

Tropical disease and vector expert Dr. Lorrin Pang explains intracellular Wolbachia bacteria, its effects to the host (insects, arthropods, and basic worms), and how the bacteria can live extracellularly for months. He discusses the moral hazard of the state’s solution to the problem of avian malaria and addresses questions regarding mosquitoes in higher elevations, biopesticide drift, and mosquitoes as disease vectors.
