TMT legal case in Hawaii gets messier
The permit process in Hawaii for the Thirty Meter Telescope has gotten far messier, with the telescope’s opponents appealing to the state’s Supreme Court, complaining about witness procedures and the lawyers who are working for the state, while the land board running the procedures has asked the court to dismiss this appeal.
Essentially, the opponents are using every trick in the book to delay the permit process, and it appears that the law in Hawaii, including one just passed in August, is designed to aid them in this tactic.
TMT will not be built in Hawaii.The consortium that is building it needs a decision by early next year at the latest. They ain’t gonna get it. The luddites going to win, and Hawaii will be far poorer because of it.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

These delay tactics are a direct response to the knowledge that the TMT has a drop dead date. Just as with the Iraq war, the bad guys learned the deadline date and are now waiting it out in order to eventually be victorious.
Just as with the Iraq war, the astronomers may win the war, but they will lose the peace.

Doesn’t this sound like what happened in Hawaii, after the TMT had approval by Hawaii for construction? Now that the war — the approval process — is over, they have lost their approval due to action by their enemy.
The astronomers won the war, but they have plans to decommission other Mauna Kea telescopes. The slaughter has begun. The peace will soon be lost.
The only rational purpose of this sabotage must be to extort monies. They don’t care about the mountaintop or any primitive religion or the TMT. Maybe astronomers are to naive to understand that they need to pay some cash bribes under the table to the parasitic kleptocrats who use some fooled primitives in their propaganda for their extortion purposes?
