The Hawaii fake missile warning and the rest of the story

Vern Miyagi, Administrator, HEMA, left, and Hawaii Gov. David Ige
 There are stories of local Kamaaina families leading their children into storm drains and sewers to prevent them from the alleged ballistic missiles that
were somehow scheduled to attack the Hawaiian Islands on Saturday January 13, 2018.

I had just finished my morning routine of photographing the sunrise and walking my dog when on my smart phone and TV these words were flashed across the screen,”BALLISTIC MISSILE THREAT INBOUND TO HAWAII. SEEK IMMEDIATE SHELTER. THIS IS NOT A DRILL.
“ This was all in capital letters which in text indicates screaming mode! However after this message I was praying to see  a counter message flash across the screen that said, "April Fools!" However being the middle of January my heart continued pounding....


There were no sirens? I took to Facebook, many  were saying the Russians had hacked us, others were saying that Trump is mad at Hawaii that Attorney General Chin for blocking his immigration ban and that even though Trump was playing golf during this time he did not stop to say it was a false alarm. 
Hawaii Attorney General
Doug Chin has decided
to run for  Congress


Many others are saying they are beyond pleased Trump didn’t hear about it because they are afraid he may had fired back  thinking it was real and started a real world war over some nitwit allegedly hitting a wrong  button?

Really, all this happened because some employee hit a button by mistake? I’m not as dumb as I look and my mama raised no fool. Somethings going on
here and it's not as simple as some employee hitting a wrong button? Conspiracy theorists will be having a heyday with this one for years to come especially with social media comments like the ones below;

"I firmly believe that a missile was coming in  and it  either failed or got shot down!! This is all a cover up!"
"When I buy something from Amazon I have to confirm like 3 times!!!! How in the world can this type of “button” be mistakenly hit!"



How does it take the state of Hawaii 38 minutes to issue a statement that it was a false warning? It took Hawaii Congress woman Tulsi Gabbard in Washington DC to calm the people of Hawaii while Hawaii Governor David Ige mirrored images of George W. Bush reading to children on 911 not knowing what to do with a stereotypical deer in the headlights look when eventually interviewed on TV.

The false ballistic missile warning in Hawaii was "unacceptable" and points to a need for President Donald Trump to negotiate with North Korea directly,
 US Congress woman
Tulsi Gabbard
of Hawaii
Hawaii Democratic Rep. Tulsi Gabbard said Sunday.

Local politicians  used this day as a platform and a day to promote their upcoming political agendas, most politicians were all jumping for the opportunity to get on the continuous TV coverage to subliminally promote their upcoming campaigns since this became a highway for anybody seeking political office  since it was obvious that after this day Governor Ige would most likely  not seek re- election and if he does, good luck. Even Senator Brian Schatz  
threw Ige under bus by saying he had to tell him what to do in reference to this event.(He had to to tell him to let the Hawaii people know  this was a false  warning as soon as possible, isn't that common sense?) Obviously Schatz is a Colleen Hanabusa supporter...









Kauai Mayor Bernard Carvalho Jr.
had the opportunity to be interviewed
on statewide TV about the 

fake missile warning.
Mayor Carvalho
is running for LT. Governor
this year! 


If this had been real most of us would not be here.  There are no fallout shelters where I live on Kauai. Homes on the islands do not have basements , so there is no where to go and be safe unless your lucky enough to be stuck inside a Costco warehouse during a missile threat.   
"Read my blog about the safest to be  during a nuclear holocaust, Costco"

http://dakinetalk.blogspot.com/2017/08/the-perfect-place-to-be-during-nuclear.html
People of Hawaii, it’s imperative you write your State and local representatives in the senate, congress and local city and county councils to start the process to initiate bills for fallout shelters.


What started out as  “D”day became quite a day in local politics that will live on in infamy  as one of the most  opportune days ever for politicians.
Maybe We should all sue the State of Hawaii  with a class action lawsuit with acquiring acute cases of PTSD! I still  get the "Heeby Geebies" every time I look at  my smart phone... Time to contact my favorite law firm of, "Duey Cheetum and Howe!" 


This is one day that everyone will remember where they were at  8:07 AM on Saturday, January 13, 2018.
