THIS WEEK’S QUESTION:

DISPARITY OF WEALTH CAN BE REDUCED WITH CREATIVE TAXATION The Dec. 13 issue of MauiTime, “A TALE OF TWO MAUIS: NEWLY RELEASED CENSUS DATA REVEALS GROWING INEQUALITY” identified an extremely important problem that is growing out of control. This isn’t a local problem but it does seem to be excessive here on Maui.

Please examine the US federal tax rate schedules that go all the way back to 1862. What is especially interesting is to look at the tax rates during the Great Depression and how the maximum rate went from 25% in 1931 way up to 63% in 1932. Then in 1936 the top bracket went all the way up to 79%. In 1941 up to 81%. Then 88%

in 1942 and peaked at an astounding 94% in 1944.

What is also remarkable is how the historical bracket remained above 90% all the way to 1963, dropping to 77% in 1964. Then from 1965 all the way through to 1981 the upper bracket remained at 70%. Then the upper bracket began dropping quickly to 50% from 1982-1986. Then down to 38.5% in 1987 and 28% in 1988.

These historical changes in high end tax rates inversely correlate with income inequality. For example, the Great Depression took place with low taxation of the rich and the new income inequality has also taken place with a return to low taxation of the rich.

Conversely, the period of high taxation of the rich corresponded to prosperous times in which America became world famous for the health of our middle class and the opportunity for upward mobility.

I believe that Maui County can creatively arrange property taxes to achieve a similar result. For example, if luxury properties and speculative fallow land was taxed heavily while lower end residential properties and actively farmed land was taxed at low rates the disparity of wealth would shrink and prosperity would emerge.

The rich would be slightly less rich but the middle class would grow and become prosperous.

Scientists Address Humpback Mystery

PHOTO COURTESY WIKIMEDIA COMMONS

As whale watching season officially kicks off, the question remains: Where are Maui’s missing humpbacks?

Humpback numbers have dropped in Hawai‘i and Alaska

F

our little part of one island, that doesn’t translate into saying the whole Hawai‘i whale population is down to what it was in 2003.”

Frankel is finalizing a paper on the subject that suggests a strong correlation between whale numbers and the Pacific Decadal Oscillation, a long-term climate pattern that alternately cools or heats surface waters in the Northern Pacific. In recent years, the PDO switched from a colder temperature to a warmer one.

“In our model, there was a very strong relationship between a cool PDO and an increase in the number of whales we see in Hawai‘i,” Frankel explains. “With a warmer PDO, we’ve seen reduced numbers of whales off Hawai‘i Island.’

Marc Lammers has been studying humpback acoustics in Maui waters for the past 20 years. “If you looked at the amount of song chorusing [singing by male humpbacks] that took place between 2015 and 2018, we saw a drop of 50 percent in acoustic energy.”

But, he emphasizes, “We’re talking about decibel levels; we can’t extrapolate that to a specific reduction in the number of whales.

Maybe fewer whales are singing and are spending their time doing something else, or they are going to places where we are not recording.

“So we have to be real careful about overstating what we know.”

Biologist Rachel Cartwright, founder of the Keiki Kohola project has been studying humpback mothers and calves on Maui since 1999 and keeping track of their numbers since 2008. Each year she and her students compile numbers by doing whale counts “at exactly the same times of the season along the same routes,” criss-crossing the waters between Mala Wharf and Thousand Peaks. “We compared our sightings from the winter

anymore,” she adds. “Comparing notes with other Southeast Alaska researchers, I know my whales didn’t just move 20 miles down the road. If the whales moved, they’ve gone somewhere that researchers aren’t studying.”

The calf situation is even more concerning, Gabriele says. In Glacier Bay, the long-time average used to be about nine calves for every 100 whales. From 20142017 that number went to about three.

“This year it got to zero. We saw one calf early in the season that was missing by mid-summer. It’s very unlikely it was weaned by then, so we presume it died.”

Gabriele surmises that the Glacier Bay change has to do with food sources. “I think it’s going to take some really strong cooperation with different disciplines – like oceanography and fisheries – to get to the bottom of it.”

She called the scientists’ gathering “pretty powerful. The Hawai‘i and Alaska data seemed to be telling the same story regardless of what method the researchers were using to do the study. We identified several research questions and we’ll form working groups to get the right people together to do the work. I think that was the important outcome.”

Still, the question remains: Where are Maui’s missing humpbacks?

“We don’t know,” says Adam Frankel.

“There are many possibilities. It could be that they are not coming as far as Hawai‘i; it could be that they’re spending less time here; it could be that fewer animals are migrating to Hawai‘i. It’s rarely just one thing. But this season we will count again. Everyone’s hoping that the numbers tick up.” ■ axel@mauitime.com For more news articles, visit: mauitime.com/news

or years, the news about humpbacks was positive. Rebounding from near decimation after landing on the endangered species list in 1973, more and more whales came to Maui each winter from their feeding grounds in Southeast Alaska to breed and give birth. The Northern Pacific humpbacks were “de-listed” in 2016. Ironically, that’s the year things got weird.

The past few whale seasons have been… different. Reports of fewer whales and shorter visits in Alaska and Hawai‘i have persisted and led to a special meeting on O‘ahu this fall, where some 30 leading humpback whale researchers convened to discuss the situation.

Their findings sound a lot like the old rock anthem: “There’s something happening here. What it is ain’t exactly clear.”

Marc Lammers, Research Coordinator at the Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary, who helped organize the gathering, picks his words carefully when discussing the situation.

“We don’t have evidence of actual numbers of whales that are coming here and what’s different,” he explains. “We have a pretty good sense that they’re lower, and not just a trivial amount, but I wouldn’t go beyond that.”

Many scientists at the meeting had startling reports from the most recent 20172018 research season.

Since 2001, Adam Frankel, a scientist with the Hawaiian Marine Mammal Consortium, has compiled humpback data each winter along the Big Island’s Kohala Coast. “For the first nine years, whale numbers increased,” he says. “But by 2012, the trend was starting to curve down. Our numbers from this year are basically the same as what we had in 2002-2003.”

Frankel quickly adds: “Now those are the numbers of whales that we saw in

of 2013-2014 with 2017-2018 and that’s where we’ve seen an 80-percent drop in sightings of mother and calf pairs,” Cartwright says. “From 2014 on, we’ve seen no drop in adult numbers.”

Cartwright is concerned about the fates of mother-calf pairs they did count. “Last season we saw 34 calves in 30 days of field work. Yet, only three calves were sighted in Southeast Alaska. So we don’t know where the Maui moms are going. Are they going back to Alaska, but their calves aren’t making it? Or, are they going other places?”

This year, Cartwright adds, “We’re going to build a very comprehensive ‘fluke catalogue’ (whales can be identified by the distinctive markings on their tails, or flukes) and then we’ll distribute that to Alaskan, Canadian, and Californian researchers and whale watchers to see how many of those moms they sight with or without those calves.”

In the meantime, Cartwright worries about the impact of tourism on the mother-calf pairs. “If the numbers stay low this year, we’re concerned that those moms and calves around Maui will be the focus of a lot more attention from whale watchers, kayakers, and paddle boarders. It’s a fragile time for them.”

The report from Alaska’s humpback feeding grounds was equally bleak. National Park Service biologist Christine Gabriele has spent summers monitoring whales through photo identification in the Glacier Bay region since 1991. She says the population increased “fairly steadily” until 2013, when it topped out at 239 individual whales. Since then, the numbers have decreased. “In 2018 we had 100 whales, that’s a drop of 59 percent,” she says. “That’s about the same number of whales we had in 1999. The same whales – with a long pattern of coming back each year – are not coming back

PUBLIC CONCERN GROWS OVER TENTATIVELY SCHEDULED LASTMINUTE PUBLIC HEARING AND SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING

are being made at the top without proper care for the community’s input. With the latest council meeting running two days, including an entire day spent on public testimony, I’m left wondering: Who’s got time for that?

Especially this time of the year, when

COCONUT POLL: 94% - Yes

most people are focused on finishing the last bit of work before the new year and celebrating the holidays with family and friends, who has the time (or money) to take a day off and spend a eight hours waiting in queue just for the chance to address elected officials in a public forum?

The other issue at hand is the propriety of the lame-duck council’s push for bills in the final days of their term. Last election, Maui County made the choice to elect a majority of candidates that were selected by the Sustainable Action Fund for the Environment for their commitment to the environment and skepticism of development. With five of the nine new council seats belonging to what has been named the ‘Ohana Coalition, the ideological balance of the council is set to shift from the “good ol’ boy” network to candidates with less political experience but high progressive ideals.

Because of this ideological shift, it’s likely that some measures passed this month wouldn’t have a chance next month. “For this

PHOTO COURTESY COUNTY OF MAUI

With less than two weeks left in power and the clock ticking for the current Maui County Council, Council Chair Mike White is still angling for hail mary passes to take a number of controversial bills to the endzone. After last week’s marathon two-day council meeting which included a full day of public testimony, hotly contested bills dictating the momentum of the Wailuku Civic Complex and the future of both Pa‘iaHa‘iku and Kihei-Makena Community Plans moved forward in bill form for a second and final reading. A public hearing is tentatively scheduled for Dec. 27 at 9am, the County Clerk’s office told me, with a possibility for a special County Council meeting to be called afterwards for councilmembers to vote on the contentious legislation.

This has caused concern among many in the public that community input will not be adequately considered before decisions are made, and raised questions regarding whether legislation is being rammed through in the twilight of the current lame-duck County Council, before the turnover of five seats and inauguration of the new council (and their new political leanings) come Jan. 2, 2019.

“This is contrary to the intent of a public hearing,” Maui activist Kai Nishiki wrote on Facebook in a widely shared post. “The whole point of a public hearing is so members of the district being affected by proposals will have an opportunity to learn about and testify on them!”

The opportunity to testify and hear public input is limited, she said, if council meetings and public hearings are carried out between Christmas and New Years, when community members are occupied with the holiday season.

One of the bills that will be the subject of

the public hearing is the appropriation of an additional $40 million for the Wailuku Civic Complex. The project was appropriated $40 million at the closure of the latest budget session in June. Since then, under the Budget and Finance Committee and its Committee Chair Councilmember Riki Hokama, an additional $40 million appropriation has gained momentum and is poised for a final vote. Hokama has argued that the additional appropriation is necessary to seek the best bids for the project, while other councilmembers including Alika Atay, Elle Cochran, and Kelly King have questioned the need for, cost of, and details regarding the over-$80-million development.

Two other bills that received substantial community testimony last week were proposed amendments to Pa‘ia-Ha‘iku and KiheiMakena community plans. The amendment to the Pa‘ia-Ha‘iku Community Plan would set a limit of 65 (down from the current 88) “permitted short-term rental homes and owner-occupied bed and breakfast homes that are residential in both scale and character” and deny future applications for properties that abut the shoreline. Transient vacation rentals, which can currently operate up to 12 rooms in the area under conditional use permits, would be included in this permit limit. The bill addresses some of the concerns voiced by

the Pa‘ia community regarding the spread of visitor accommodations in town.

The other community plan amendment concerns the land use designation for a property located on Keawekapu Beach at 2980 South Kihei Rd. Currently, the area is zoned “Single-Family,” and the bill would amend this to “Hotel” to match its actual use, given the condition that the hotel currently on the property “shall not increase their current capacity, density, height, or footprint from what is in existence as of the date of this ordinance.”

Much of the skepticism of these community plan amendments is what has been called the “short-circuiting of the community plan process.” The process is long and arduous, and calls the community to organize and determine a path for its future. If changes come from the top, testifiers concluded, it is not respecting the process nor involving the kinds of public input that community plans should.

And, perhaps, that gets to the point of the growing public concern: a fear that decisions

Last week we talked about census data that revealed growing income inequality between areas on Maui.

reason, the outgoing council should commit to refraining from voting on any substantive policy measures,” attorney Lance D. Collins wrote in a MauiTime Op-Ed last week, echoing the concerns of many in the public that their votes for a different direction for Maui County’s political leadership are being undermined by efforts to ram through legislation.

It’s the deterioration of the political norms, like those that dictate the decisionmaking mandate to newly elected, that ultimately lead to the degradation of democracy, Collins argued.

I would add that there’s another norm that shouldn’t be breached: Public testimony and hearings should be held at times and places that are convenient for the people of the community, not just when it’s convenient for leadership to force policy through. ■ editor@mauitime.com + @axelbeers

John Stevenson of Inverclyde, Scotland, hit a bump in his plans to vacation in the United States on Dec. 3 when his visa was denied after he declared himself a terrorist while filling out a Department of Homeland Security online form commonly known as ESTA. One of the questions on the form asks, “Are you a terrorist?” Stevenson, 70, told The Independent that the website “must have jumped from No to Yes without me knowing,” adding that the site kept timing out and crashing as he and his wife, Marion, tried to answer the questions. “I even called the border control in the U.S. and gave them my passport details,” he said. “They looked up my ESTA number and said, ‘You’re a terrorist.’ The only time I’ve been in court was for jury service. Marion is sick about it... I don’t know why that question is on the form in the first place.” (UPDATE: United Airlines refunded the Stevensons’ airline tickets and gifted them two free flights to New York once their visa troubles are all worked out.)

ARMED AND CLUMSY A shopper at a Buckeye, Arizona, Walmart was in the meat department on Nov. 27 when his semiautomatic handgun, which he had positioned for a quick draw in the waistband of his sweatpants, began to slip.

As he tried to reposition it, he told Buckeye police, it discharged, striking the gunslinger in his privacies. AZCentral reported the unnamed shopper was taken to the hospital with minor injuries, and no one else was hurt. However, police did file a charge of unlawful discharge of a firearm.

LOL The animal rights group PETA launched a new campaign Dec. 4 designed to remove some common animal-related idioms from the English language. CBS News reports the group tweeted suggested alterations to phrases it says are verbal vestiges of “speciesism” and perpetuate harmful messages. PETA offers these alternatives: For “bring home the bacon,” try “bring home the bagels.” “Take the bull by the horns” should be “take the flower by the thorns.” And “kill two birds with one stone” morphs into “feed two birds with one scone.” PETA likened the use of the original phrases to racist and homophobic language: “Phrases that trivialize cruelty to animals will vanish as more people begin to appreciate animals for who they are.” Reaction on social media was swift. Maybe PETA should have let sleeping bags lie.

LEAST COMPETENT CRIMINALS A successful heist at an electronics retail store requires careful planning and attention to detail – a fact that appears to have escaped three men in North Raleigh, North Carolina, on Nov. 12. That night, the News and Observer reported, an employee of the store called 911 to report that three men had entered the store with semi-automatic weapons

and ordered workers into the stockroom.

One of them was carrying a cardboard box, officers learned, which he used to load up mobile phones and smart watches. The men also filled two crates with merchandise, which totaled more than $26,000. When the robbers left through the back door, they took the crates with them, but forgot the cardboard box which, serendipitously, sported a shipping label with an address on it. Police used the address, along with a mug shot from a previous crime that matched an image in the store’s surveillance video, to track down Brian Lamonte Clark, 22, and arrest him for robbery with a dangerous weapon and conspiracy to commit robbery.

‘STUPIDEST BURGLARS’ The Lucardo Escape Rooms in Manchester, England, were the site of a misguided breakin on Nov. 29 when two thieves ransacked a fake bank vault as if it were the real thing.

The Manchester Evening News reported that more than 50 surveillance cameras captured the duo’s antics as they broke into fake safes and opened drawers that held only puzzles.

“They must be Manchester’s stupidest burglars,” said Lucardo director Ian Pownall, 26. The business lost about 100 pounds in cash, but damage amounted to about 1,000 pounds – not to mention lost revenue while the business cleans up. “We’re a small, family-owned business, so even a couple of thousand pounds will have an effect on us, particularly before Christmas,” Pownall said.

‘SCUUUUSE ME! At the Grand Slam of Darts in Wolverhampton, England, there was more in the air than just the sharp projectiles tossed by competitors on Nov. 16. According to Reuters, former two-time champion Gary Anderson, 47, from Scotland, prevailed over Wesley Harms, 34, from the Netherlands to reach the quarter finals, but Harms had a gripe: He said he was affected by the “fragrant smell” Anderson had emitted as they played. “It’ll take me two nights to lose this smell from my nose,” Harms told a Dutch television station. Anderson objected, saying the smell came “from the table side,” laying the blame on spectators. “If the boy thinks I’ve farted he’s 1,010 percent wrong,” Anderson declared. “If somebody has done that they need to see a doctor... He says it was me, but I would admit it.”

OFFENSIVE ODOR Shanetta Yvette Wilson, 37, was standing in line at a Dollar General store in Dania Beach, Florida, on Nov. 25 when the urge struck and she let one rip. John Walker, who was standing nearby, was offended and complained about “the defendant farting loudly,” according to the resulting Broward Sheriff’s office complaint, so Wilson pulled out a small folding knife, opened it and threatened to “gut” Walker as she moved toward him. The Miami Herald reported that police called to the scene tracked down Wilson and charged her with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon without intent to kill.■

THE REAL FIGHT AGAINST

FAKE NEWS PROJECT CENSORED’S TOP STORIES OF 2018

ILLUSTRATION BY ANSON STEVENS-BOLLEN, SANTA FE REPORTER

I

t’s been a deadly year for journalists.

As I write this on Monday afternoon, the count is up to 53 – that’s 53 journalists who have been killed around the world in 2018 – motive confirmed – according to the Committee to Protect Journalists.

Reporting the truth and holding the powerful accountable has always been risky business, but it is the indispensable task undertaken by those practicing journalism and doing the work of the “fourth branch of government.” While dangerous, this work is more important than ever in a world of fake news, subversion of truth, deteriorating public confidence in institutions, and information overload. The world, humanity, and our local lifestyle face threats to their existence.

As independent local journalists, we at MauiTime stand with those who work to inform the public in the belief that a wellinformed society is better than ignorance.

We mourn the loss of the 53 journalists killed simply for reporting truth that, unfortunately, was intolerable for the powers that be. And, as an alternative weekly, we hope to do our part in giving voice to underrepresented and important stories that are underreported.

To this end, we are publishing selections from an article by Paul Rosenberg, senior editor at Random Lengths News, covering the top 10 censored stories of 2018. In this article, Rosenberg draws on the list produced by Project Censored, a collaboration of academics, students, and media experts founded in 1978 at Sonoma State University. The annual list documents the most important yet underreported, ignored, and censored stories of the year.

Due to space, we are publishing only part of the article in print. The full article with sources is posted online at MauiTime.com.

Fake news is not a new thing. With the return of its annual list of censored stories in Censored 2019: Fighting the Fake News Invasion, Project Censored’s vivid cover art recalls H.G. Wells’ War of the Worlds.

The situation today may feel as desolate as the cover art suggests.

“But Censored 2019 is a book about fighting fake news,” editors Andy Lee Roth and Mickey Huff observe in the book’s introduction.

In the end, they argue that “critical

media education – rather than censorship, blacklists, privatized fact-checkers, or legislative bans – is the best weapon for fighting the ongoing fake news invasion.”

Project Censored’s annual list of 25 censored stories, which makes up the book’s lengthy first chapter, is one of the best resources one can have for such education.

Censorship and fake news are “intertwined issues” they write.

Project Censored has long been engaged in much more than just uncovering and publicizing stories kept down and out of the corporate media. Over the years it’s added new analytical categories: sensationalist and titillating “Junk Food News” stories.

Through it all, the list of censored stories remains central to Project Censored’s mission, which, the editors point out, can be read in two different ways: “as a critique of the shortcomings of U.S. corporate news media for their failure to adequately cover these stories, or as a celebration of independent news media, without which we would remain either uninformed or misinformed about these crucial stories and issues.”

Global Decline in Rule of Law as Basic Human Rights Diminish According to the World Justice Project Rule of Law Index 2017-2018, released in January 2018, a striking worldwide decline in basic human rights has driven an overall decline in the rule of law since October 2016, the month before Trump’s election. Fundamental rights – one of eight categories measured – declined in 71 out of 113 nations surveyed. Overall, 34 percent of countries’ scores declined, while just 29 percent improved. The United States ranked 19th, down one from 2016, with declines in checks on government powers and deepening discrimination.

Fundamental rights include absence of discrimination, right to life and security, due process, freedom of expression and religion, right to privacy, freedom of association, and labor rights.

“All signs point to a crisis not just for human rights, but for the human rights movement,” Yale professor of history and law Samuel Moyn told The Guardian the day the index was released. “Within many nations, these fundamental rights are falling prey to the backlash against a globalising economy in which the rich are winning. But human rights movements have not historically set

BY PAUL ROSENBERG out to name or shame inequality.”

This reflects the thesis of Moyn’s most recent book, Not Enough: Human Rights in an Unequal World.

Constraints on government powers, which measures the extent to which those who govern are bound by law, saw the second greatest declines (64 countries out of 113 dropped).

This is where the United States saw the greatest deterioration, World Justice Project stated in a press release. “While all sub-factors in this dimension declined at least slightly from 2016, the score for lawful transition of power – based on responses to survey questions on confidence in national and local election processes and procedures – declined most markedly,” the press release stated.

The United States also scored notably poorly on several measurements of discrimination.

“With scores of .50 for equal treatment and absence of discrimination (on a scale of 0 to 1), .48 for discrimination in the civil justice system, and .37 for discrimination in the criminal justice system, the U.S. finds itself ranked 78 out of 113 countries on all three subfactors,” World Justice Project stated.

The four Nordic countries – Denmark, Norway, Finland, and Sweden – remained in the top four positions. New Zealand, Canada, and Australia were the only top 10 countries outside of Europe.

“The WJP’s 2017-2018 Rule of Law Index received scant attention from US corporate media,” Project Censored noted.

The only coverage they found was a Newsweek article drawing on The Guardian’s coverage. This pattern of ignoring international comparisons, across all subject matter, is pervasive in the corporate media. It severely cripples our capacity for objective self-reflection and self-improvement as a nation.

World’s Richest One Percent Continue to Become Wealthier In November 2017, Credit Suisse released its 8th Annual Global Wealth Report which The Guardian reported on under the headline “Richest 1% own half the world’s wealth, study finds.”

The wealth share of the world’s richest people increased “from 42.5% at the height of the 2008 financial crisis to 50.1% in 2017, or $140tn (£106tn),” The Guardian reported, adding that “The biggest losers… are young people who should not expect to

become as rich as their parents.” “[Despite being more educated than their parents,] millennials are doing less well than their parents at the same age, especially in relation to income, home ownership, and other dimensions of well-being assessed in this report,” Rohner Credit Suisse Chairman Urs Rohner said. “We expect only a minority of high achievers and those in high demand sectors such as technology or finance to effectively overcome the ‘millennial disadvantage.’”

“No other part of the wealth pyramid has been transformed as much since 2000 as the millionaire and ultra-high net worth individual (known as UHNWI) segments,” the report said. “The number of millionaires has increased by 170%, while the number of UHNWIs (individuals with net worth of USD 50 million or more) has risen five-fold, making them by far the fastest-growing group of wealth holders.”

There were of 2.3 million new dollar millionaires this year, taking the total to 36 million.

“At the other end of the spectrum, the world’s 3.5 billion poorest adults each have assets of less than $10,000,” The Guardian reported. “Collectively these people, who account for 70% of the world’s working age population, account for just 2.7% of global wealth.”

“Tremendous concentration of wealth and the extreme poverty that results from it are problems that affect everyone in the world, but wealth inequalities do not receive nearly as much attention as they should in the establishment press,” Project Censored noted.

“The few corporate news reports that have addressed this issue – including an August 2017 Bloomberg article and a July 2016 report for CBS’s MoneyWatch – focused exclusively on wealth inequality within the United States. As Project Censored has previously reported, corporate news consistently covers the world’s billionaires while ignoring millions of humans who live in poverty.”

Regenerative Agriculture as “Next Stage” of Civilization The world’s agricultural and degraded soils have the capacity to recover 50 to 66 percent of the historic carbon loss to the atmosphere, according to a 2004 paper in Science, actually reversing the processes driving global warming. A set of practices known as “regenerative agriculture” could play a major role in accomplishing that, while substantially increasing crop yields as well, according

Congress Passes Intrusive Data Sharing Law Under Cover of Spending Bill On March 21, the 2,232-page omnibus spending bill was released. It passed both houses and was signed into law in two days. Attached to the spending provisions that made it urgent “must-past” legislation was the completely unrelated Clarifying Lawful Overseas Use of Data Act of 2018, also known as the CLOUD Act. “The CLOUD Act enables the U.S. government to acquire data across international borders regardless of other nations’ data privacy laws and without the need for warrants, ” Project Censored summarized.

It also significantly weakens protections against foreign government actions.

“It was never reviewed or marked up by any committee in either the House or the Senate,” the Electronic Frontier Foundation’s David Ruiz wrote. “It never received a hearing... It was robbed of a stand-alone floor vote because Congressional leadership decided, behind closed doors, to attach this unvetted, unrelated data bill to the $1.3 trillion government spending bill.”

Congressional leadership failed to listen to citizen concerns, Ruiz wrote, with devastating consequences: “Because of this failure, U.S. and foreign police will have new mechanisms to seize data across the globe. Because of this failure, your private emails, your online chats, your Facebook, Google, Flickr photos, your Snapchat videos, your private lives online, your moments shared digitally between only those you trust, will be open to foreign law enforcement without a warrant and with few restrictions on using and sharing your information, privacy and human rights,” concluded Greene Robyn Greene, who reported for Just Security.

“The little corporate news coverage that the CLOUD Act received tended to put a positive spin on it,” Project Censored noted. “[A glowing Washington Post op-ed] made no mention of potential risks to the privacy of citizens’ personal data, [and a CNET report that] highlighted the liberties that the CLOUD Act would provide corporations by simplifying legal issues concerning overseas servers.”

Because of this failure, U.S. laws will be bypassed on U.S. soil. Greene noted that the CLOUD Act negates protections of two interrelated existing laws. It creates an exception to the Stored Communications Act that allows certified foreign governments to request personal data directly from U.S. companies.

“This exception enables those countries to bypass the Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty process, which protects human rights by requiring foreign governments to work with the Department of Justice to obtain warrants from U.S. judges before they can access that data for their criminal investigations,” Greene explained. “The version of the bill that was included in the omnibus does include some improvements over the earlier version to help to mitigate the risks of bypassing the MLAT process… two changes [that] are important improvements… many of the other changes to the bill are only partial or ineffective fixes to problems privacy advocates, human rights advocates, and even a former high-ranking official at the U.S. State Department have raised…. Several other concerns have been left entirely unaddressed.”

“While the bill sponsors did try to address some of the concerns that have been raised, the improvements are not enough to shift the balance so that the CLOUD Act will be a boon, rather than a threat, to privacy and human rights,” Greene concluded.

Indigenous Communities Around World Helping to Win Legal Rights of Nature In March 2017, the government of New Zealand ended a 140-year dispute with an indigenous Maori tribe by enacting a law that officially recognized the Whanganui River, which the tribe considers their ancestor, as a living entity with rights. The Guardian reported it as “a world-first,”

although the surrounding Te Urewera National Park had been similarly recognized in a 2014 law, and the U.S. Supreme Court came within on vote of potentially recognizing such a right in the 1972 case Sierra Club v. Morton, expressed in a dissent by Justice William O. Douglas. In addition, the broader idea of “rights of nature” has been adopted in Ecuador, Bolivia, and by some American communities, noted Mihnea Tanasescu, writing for The Conversation.

The tribe’s perspective was explained to The Guardian by its lead negotiator, Gerrard Albert.

“We consider the river an ancestor and always have,” Albert said. “We have fought to find an approximation in law so that all others can understand that from our perspective treating the river as a living entity is the correct way to approach it, as in indivisible whole, instead of the traditional model for

Standing Rock and Cheyenne River nations by the American government,” DeVault wrote.

The same could be done with a wide range of other environmental justice disputes involving Native American tribes.

Tanasescu described the broader sweep of recent developments in the “rights of nature,” noting that significant problems have resulted from the lack of specific guardianship provisions, which are integral to the Whanganui River law.

“By granting natural entities personhood one by one and assigning them specific guardians, over time New Zealand could drastically change an ossified legal system that still sees oceans, mountains and forests primarily as property, guaranteeing nature its day in court,” Tanasescu concluded.

“A few corporate media outlets have covered the New Zealand case and subsequent decisions in India,” Project Censored

to information compiled and published by Ronnie Cummins, director of the Organic Consumers Association in May 2017.

“For thousands of years we grew food by depleting soil carbon and, in the last hundred or so, the carbon in fossil fuel as well,” food and farming writer Michael Pollan wrote.

“But now we know how to grow even more food while at the same time returning carbon and fertility and water to the soil.”

Cummins, who’s also a founding member of Regeneration International, wrote that regenerative agriculture offers a “world-changing paradigm” that can help solve many of today’s environmental and public health problems. As The Guardian explained: “Regenerative agriculture comprises an array of techniques that rebuild soil and, in the process, sequester carbon. Typically, it uses cover crops and perennials so that bare soil is never exposed, and grazes animals in ways that mimic animals in nature. It also offers ecological benefits far beyond carbon storage: it stops soil erosion, re-mineralizes soil, protects the purity of groundwater, and reduces damaging pesticide and fertilizer runoff.”

“We can’t really solve the climate crisis (and the related soil, environmental, and public health crisis) without simultaneously solving the food and farming crisis,” Cummings wrote. “We need to stop putting greenhouse gas pollution into the atmosphere (by moving to 100% renewable energy), but we also need to move away from chemical-intensive, energy-intensive food, factory farming and land use, as soon as possible.”

In addition to global warming, there are profound economic and social justice concerns involved.

“Out-of-touch and out-of-control governments of the world now take our tax money and spend $500 billion... a year mainly subsidizing 50 million industrial farmers to do the wrong thing,” Cummins wrote. “Meanwhile, 700 million small family farms and herders, comprising the 3 billion people who produce 70% of the world’s food on just 25% of the world’s acreage, struggle to make ends meet... The basic menu for a Regeneration Revolution is to unite the world’s 3 billion rural farmers, ranchers, and herders with several billion health, environmental, and justiceminded consumers to overturn ‘business as usual’ and embark on a global campaign of cooperation, solidarity and regeneration.”

If you’ve never heard of it before, don’t be surprised.

“Regenerative agriculture has received limited attention in the establishment press, highlighted by only two recent, substantive reports in the New York Times Magazine and Salon,” Project Censored wrote.

The Troller-in-Chief

the last 100 years of treating it from a perspective of ownership and management.”

But that could be just the beginning.

“It is a critical precedent for acknowledging the Rights of Nature in legal systems around the world,” Kayla DeVault reported for YES! Magazine. Others are advancing this perspective, DeVault wrote: “In response to the Standing Rock Sioux battle against the Dakota Access pipeline, the Ho-Chunk Nation of Wisconsin amended its constitution to include the Rights of Nature. This is the first time a North American tribe has used a Western legal framework to adopt such laws. Some American municipalities have protected their watersheds against fracking by invoking Rights of Nature.” “[If the New Zealand Whanganui River settlement] was able to correct the gap in Western and indigenous paradigms in New Zealand, surely a similar effort to protect the Missouri River could be produced for the

noted. “However, these reports have not provided the depth of coverage found in the independent press or addressed how legal decisions in other countries might provide models for the United States.”

not.com, HiveMiner.com, Art.com, and many more. His photography is also represented in Island Heritage merchandise like calendars, magnets, and other Hawai‘ibranded merchandise that’s typically marketed to visitors.

Before arriving on Maui, Shoemaker lived in the San Diego area and captured myriad award-winning photos of California landscapes. On his website, you can see a wide variety of locational photography from Maui, the Hawaiian Islands, California, Arizona, and Japan.

Andrew’s photography is an interesting collection of nature photography, marine life, landscapes, and portraits. For a Maui resident, some images will be familiar to the eye, but others may trick you because of Shoemaker’s obvious talent with lighting. He has a real skill for the patience of capturing locations at the best time of the day, noting his calm and collected artistic disposition.

One of my favorite photos by Shoemaker is called “Edge of Creation.” It’s a portrait-oriented piece of Big Island lava flowing into the ocean with a celestial disPHOTO COURTESY ANDREW SHOEMAKER

ing, almost urban, island-style art scene.

Located in the heart of Lahaina, in the Historic Front Street neighborhood, the Andrew Shoemaker Gallery is one of the newest editions to West Maui’s buzzing

destination for conversation, refreshments, and live entertainment. The gallery is hip, has gorgeous lighting, and is embellished with impressive interior design elements.

The walls are adorned with Shoemaker’s gorgeous, vibrant, and well captured landscape and nature photography.

The floor space is adorned with custom furniture made by Pacific Green Industries.

Pacific Green is an award-winning furniture company from Australia, world famous for ethically manufacturing furniture, home goods, and accessories. In fact, visitors can make custom Pacific Green Industries orders via the Andrew Shoemaker Gallery. This is a pretty unique edge for a Maui gallery, fusing art with sustainable interior living.

At the Shoemaker Gallery, guests can find electrifying and eclectic fine art photography. At the gallery and online, art collectors (and I learned, celebrities, too) obtain open editions, limited editions, metal prints of various sizes, and the “Lamborghini of art prints,” acrylic face mounts.

Until the opening of his brick-andmortar fine art photography gallery, Shoe-

few Fridays ago, I made the long journey from Ha‘iku to Lahaina to check out Lahaina Friday Art Night. I had a few key locations collected in my mind that I wanted to check out. On the top of my list was the Andrew Shoemaker Fine Art Photography Gallery. Before my arrival, I was familiar with Shoemaker’s photography, and was aware that his gallery on Front Street had recently opened in late spring of 2018.

I had been hearing a certain buzz about the attention Shoemaker’s gallery was receiving by residents and visitors, so I definitely wanted to experience what he had “in-store” for his gallery guests. I was not only pleasantly surprised, but also left his space feeling inspired that West Maui definitely has a thriv-

collection of locally owned and internationally renowned art galleries.

During Lahaina’s weekly Friday Art Night, the Shoemaker gallery offers a pretty sweet

maker’s pieces were found at local galleries throughout the island of Maui, on his website, or on the mantle places of various newlyweds and honeymooners who have traveled to Maui to celebrate and fortify their love. Without a doubt, his new gallery is a milestone for his artistic career.

Shoemaker has been a self-taught, professional, and award-winning fine art photographer for over 12 years. He was originally drawn into the photography art form by his own outdoor adventures: hiking, skiing, and off-roading. He’s a husband, a father, an artist, and an active South Maui community member.

Shoemaker and his wife moved to Maui in 2014, and since then his fine art photography has been showcased throughout Hawaiian island media outlets in print, on social media, and online. His photography has been featured in Maui No Ka Oi Magazine, Upcountry Magazine, Maui Jim’s Live Aloha blog, AMauiBlog.com, and various internationally renowned art websites like DeviantArt.com, DailyCamera.com, TheK-

play in the background. It’s amazing and almost looks like a painting.

Until I spoke with Shoemaker in person, I wasn’t aware of his full professional range. Shoemaker is also available for portraits, weddings, events, custom arrangements, and commissions. After a long conversation about life, I asked Shoemaker about what motivates him to create his art.

“My belief is that an image has the power to take your breath away, the power to heal and even make you cry,” he said. “My hope is that through these images, we can connect on a higher level and truly share how beautiful this world is with one another.”

For all Hawai‘i residents, Shoemaker offers a year-round, 10-percent kama‘aina promotion.

The Andrew Shoemaker Gallery is also offering a variety of discounts and incentives on Lahaina Friday Art Nights during Maui’s 2018 holiday season (until the end of December). ■ jen@mauitime.com For more A&E stories, visit: mauitime.com/entertainment

Clint Eastwood is 'The Mule' It plays like a geriatric take on ‘Breaking Bad’ but the film is still among Eastwood’s best ★★★★★

PHOTO COURTESY IMDB

n 2014, an elderly man named Leo Sharp was arrested for being a drug mule. Sharp delivered tons of cocaine, driving cross country for a Mexican drug cartel. After doing this for years, he was caught and served jail time. Sharp was a World War II veteran and a celebrated horticulturist. At the time of his arrest, he was 90-years-old.

Leo Sharp has been renamed “Earl Stone” in Clint Eastwood’s new film, The Mule, which portrays the final years of Sharp’s life (he died in 2016). Eastwood directs and stars as Stone, whose economic struggles and estrangement from his family ultimately inspire him to take on his role as a driver for obviously dangerous individuals.

At first, Stone seems only partially aware of what he’s doing. Once he discovers what his cargo truly is and that he’s at the service of a powerful drug lord (played by Andy Garcia), he embraces his position, using the money earned to pay for his home, family needs, and community. A pair of DEA agents (played by Bradley Cooper and Michael Pena) are on the hunt for Stone, whose identity is a secret, though he goes by the name of “Tata.”

Here’s Eastwood, at 88 years of age, playing a 90-year-old drug mule, and directing in his typically storyand character-driven, style-free but muscular and skilful manner. Eastwood plays such a vulnerable character, who remains in constant danger, the film maintains a steady intensity. The deceptively genteel manner of the early

scenes give way to a scenario that plays like an AARP-tinted “Breaking Bad.” The contrast to Earl’s fragile existence and dire dilemma is how fully in command Eastwood is as an actor and director. The Mule represents the best and worst of Eastwood. This is among Eastwood’s most engrossing, if selfindulgent works, reflecting on his recurring themes of tainted heroism, deconstructing American mythos, and compromising one’s sense of morality and sense of duty.

Earl is 90-years-old and, according to one character, no longer has a filter.

His views on the world are quite out of touch and reflect a codger’s outlook, such as his disdain for the internet and cell phones. These moments in Nick Schenk’s screenplay are problematic, as they feel like geriatric audience baiting. Far worse are scenes where Earl’s encounters Mexicans, African-Americans, and a lesbian biker gang (no kidding, they are listed in the end credits as reallife members of Dykes on Bikes), with Earl’s dated comments treated as punch lines. Normally, I’d argue that Earl’s words authentically reflect his character but it feels like Eastwood is rubbing our noses in the non-PC content.

Another aspect that felt somewhat icky is the examination of Earl’s lifelong regrets and disconnection with family members who hate him. Casting the director’s reallife and talented daughter Allison (so good in her father’s Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil) as Earl’s outspoken, rage-filled offspring felt on-the-nose.

While Earl’s journey hardly seems like an autobiographical reflection of Eastwood’s life, the suggestion that this is his way of

Ridin’ dirty

apologizing to those he slighted in real life is unavoidable and disquieting.

Eastwood seemingly retired from acting in movies he directs, last seen in front of the camera in his 2008 blockbuster Gran Torino and as an actoronly in the 2012 Trouble With the Curve.

This is a much better work than either of those. It’s worth noting that Eastwood began production of The Mule this past July (!), on top of his releasing another movie earlier this year (The 15:17 to Paris, an interesting failure). Considering how unpredictable, accomplished and prolific he remains, I hesitate to refer to this as his final work or even an indication that retirement approaches.

Eastwood’s politics make him divisive but, as an American filmmaker, only John Huston was this good, versatile and entertaining in his twilight years.

In addition to how strong Eastwood’s acting is here (on top of masterful

filmmaking), Cooper is solid in a key supporting role (which echoes Eastwood’s still-terrific A Perfect World).

Garcia is excellent, making his crime lord both scary and truly funny, and the supporting cast excels in character turns.

Unfortunately, Laurence Fishburne, Pena, and Loren Dean (a former leading man who has screen time but no dialog in this) are wasted.

The lesser moments are tacky, including the old school sexism of allowing the camera leer on bikini clad groupies.

There’s also moments that clearly suggest Earl is into threesomes, an indication that this may not be a good choice to bring the grandparents. The Mule is at its best when the focus is on the individual drug runs and the EastwoodCooper pursuit, which kept me on the edge of my seat. Eastwood has made better films but, days later, I’m still thinking about this one. ■

Horoscope

Sign Language SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21)

While it might be exhilarating to go motorcycle riding without a helmet, it’s also incredibly reckless. I hope you’re past that kind of obvious stupidity. How about the less obvious kind, though? You’re treading dangerously close to territory that’s nearly as foolhardy as naked biking in fresh snow; even though it doesn’t feel as hazardous, it’s still pretty dumb. Take a good hard look at what you’ve been up to (and what you’re thinking about getting up to). I’m not saying don’t do it – just don’t be stupid about it. There’s a way to explore most of what you’re interested in without being treacherously irresponsible; find that.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19)

Being absolutely present and engaged with each moment is generally the way to go. However, sometimes it’s best for you and all concerned if you can take a step back from the intensity of the present. Ask yourself, “How will I feel about this in ten years?” Then channel your decade-older self and speak from their perspective. People might think you’re crazy because you’re laughing instead of furious, or casual instead of intense. But coming from that place will generate a more positive situation that you can actually be proud of in ten years, instead of embarrassed by.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18)

Why get pissed off if laughing it off is an option?

What does diving into anger really get you? Nine times out of ten, addressing an unpleasant situation with a joke and a smile will reap more satisfactory results than becoming bitchy or enraged. Try to keep negative emotions in check this week. Since little good (and probably a bunch of bad) would come of expressing them, what’s the point? Find the funny in the situation (even if it’s at your own expense) and have a bit of fun. The alternative is giving yourself an ulcer about it – pretty lame.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20)

Don’t whisper your desires when you could shout them exuberantly for all to hear. There’s no need to be the least bit shy about what you want.

Whether or not you celebrate Christmas, this is the season of giving, right? Don’t take the risk that someone might not hear, or may misunderstand, what you’re asking for. Of course, for you, figuring out precisely what you want is probably the biggest challenge, but once you do: don’t mumble.

Be loud and clear so that no one can say later, “Really? You should have just said so!”

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19)

Connections matter. You might think having talent, integrity, or luck is enough. In an ideal world, they would be, but frequently who you know counts for more. Don’t be so idealistic and naive that you hold yourself back. Cultivate your talent and integrity, by all means – but also get out there and meet the people who could help you get ahead. I wish simply deserving something was always enough to get it for you, but don’t take any chances. There’s no need to be sneaky or immoral here – just remember that there’s simply nothing wrong with putting yourself out there and asking people to help you get ahead.

Then keep asking until you find someone who will.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20)

You haven’t always done that well with New Year’s resolutions. However, that doesn’t mean you should stop making them. Generally, whenever you set positive intentions for yourself, something good comes of them, even if you have trouble following through long-term. If your resolution is to go to the gym three times a week in 2010, and you only make it three weeks in before it breaks down, that’s still nine more workouts than you would have done without that resolution. Of course, you should try your best to follow through, but even partially fulfilling your goals will be good, so please do set some for yourself.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22)

Stop worrying. Life is risky and there’s simply no getting around it. You can’t erect an impenetrable force-field around yourself or embrace a solitary lifestyle on a remote island. Even if you could, you wouldn’t want to; it’d suck, and you’d find new, even more ridiculous things to feel anxious about. Accept that actually living your life involves a certain degree of danger – emotional and otherwise – and quit fretting so much about it. Your undue concern is really salting your own game and keeping you from many of the things that would serve as helpful distractions from life’s necessary dangers – like having fun.

Although it seems like the holidays should be a time of unmitigated fun and delight, in actuality for most people they’re tremendous sources of stress and misery. These obligatory celebrations, although certainly not all bad, have enough unpleasant elements that they can feel more like an ordeal to endure rather than an occasion to enjoy.

That, naturally, should be avoided. Do what you can to make your holiday plans work for you, not against you. Is there a way you can come out the other side of the holidays happier than you are right now? Work towards manifesting that.

808.419.1626

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22)

It’s like someone wrote your top twenty priorities on scraps of paper, and compiled a new list based on a random drawing. Somehow, they’ve gotten all out of order. You’ve started caring about shit that really doesn’t matter, and forgetting stuff that ultimately is more important to you, even if it’s not on your mind at the moment. This week is a good one to reassess where you’re putting your energies and decide if that’s the best distribution of your time and care. If it’s not, the new year is a great chance to sort out a better path (or set of paths) for you to pursue in the coming months.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22)

There are at least seventy-three good reasons to do something, and you’ve taken the time to painstakingly list them all. Frequently, your obsessive list-making is actually just a procrastination tool. Rationally, you know you could have completed this dreaded task ten times over by now. And yet here we are. It’s time to ask yourself why. Make a new list – this time, not of reasons you should get to it, but reasons why you shouldn’t. Once you’ve figured out why you won’t or can’t do this thing, make another list – brainstorming ways to get out of it. Once you come up with one that works, you should have no trouble putting it immediately into action; no procrastination necessary.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22)

It’s so easy to be distracted by shiny things (or pretty smiles or nice asses), and lose track of what really makes you happy. Sure, all that stuff will thrill you for a moment or three, but what use is it if it costs you the things that will give you joy for years? Make sure those things, even if they’re not as sparkly and fresh as the many distractions you’re surrounded by, stay at the forefront of your mind this week, lest they give you this bum deal: trading off years of contentment for a few moments of giddy delight.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21)

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20)

We Like You Too!

Just be yourself. You don’t need to be some exaggerated, extreme-embracing version of yourself. What’s most important here is that you come off as genuine and honest, not fascinatingly out there. Truth be told, most people are already going to find you pretty freaky. Accentuating your extremes is much more likely to scare them off than draw them in. Ultimately, some people will be turned off by you, but as long as you’re forthright, real, and present, more will be interested than repulsed. Of course, if you’re more keen to frighten than befriend someone, undue focus on your eccentricities will be sure to do the trick.
