Summit Quotes

“My journey through Magee’s Disease was difficult and brought an understanding about what is wrong with the USA. Any company that is hiring workers into known toxic jobs that require them to use company supplied medications and oxygen to treat their “Summit Brain” needs to be shut down by the USA government. Instead, we see the USA government facilitating their toxic corporate culture for the foreseeable future with their construction of the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT) atop Mauna Kea in Hawaii. This is being done with the full support of USA government law enforcement, even though working on the very high altitude Mauna Kea makes some of them sick! To build it, they need to arrest the native Hawaiians that regard Mauna Kea as their sacred temple that is being desecrated by corporate science. The main finance to start the TMT project has come from Gordon Moore, the founder of the USA based semiconductor manufacturer Intel.”

“My job was called “Summit Lead” when on the very high altitude summit of Mauna Kea. A few of us would rotate through this position during the weekdays, as we only worked part time on the summit. One of the other “Summit Lead’s” died from fatal gastrointestinal disease. He had spent far more time on the summit than I ever did and had accumulated much larger biologically toxic exposures.”

“I was on the Big‬ ‪Island‬ of ‪Hawaii in 2015 and managed to characterize the ionizing ‪‎radiation‬ ‎levels‬ in the south of the island. ‪Mauna‬ ‪Kea‬ was the radiation hot zone with approximately a doubling of radiation levels at the Mauna Kea Visitors Center at 9,200 feet as compared to sea level. I did not venture to the summit due to the known biologically harmful environmental conditions to the sea level adapted human that exist at 13,796 feet.”

“I have been living with the long term effects of hypoxia since my parents took me on an airplane for the first time and we flew to the Canary Islands to see the Tiede volcano in 1977. I traveled there on a jet airplane that was cruising at 35,000 feet in a high radiation cabin that was only pressurized to 8,000 feet for four hours. I was hypoxic, but I did not know it as I was only seven years old. We went up to see the Teide volcano on a bus tour. Its summit was 12,188 feet. I was more hypoxic than on the airplane, but I did not know it. That’s the funny thing about hypoxia, it hides out of sight in most people. But it can kill you!”

“Traveling around the island had revealed I was being affected by altitude changes. I had noticed on days out from the campsite that I would be fatigued the following day. Altitude testing showed this fatigue reaction would occur whenever I spent time above one thousand feet. The longer I was above one thousand feet, the more fatigued I would be the next day and it would often increase forgetfulness and confusion. Once I started avoiding traveling past several hundred feet in altitude, I was much healthier! I call this sickness “Altitude Hypersensitivity”, as it was previously thought that altitude sickness only occurred above 4,900 feet.”

“So if you, O subsequent ones, ever deign to look down at us from your summit of effortless superiority, remember that you have only scaled it on the back of our efforts. For it is thankless to grope in the dark and tempting to rest until the light of understanding shines upon us. But if we are led into this temptation, your kingdom will never come.”
