‘Elite power network’
The tyranny of the global elites’ power network is on full display, no need to call it a conspiracy. Globally, journalists, not just a local resident, myself, have called it out for years, but no one is listening.
Churchill is credited with saying “Never let a good crisis go to waste.” Sept. 11, 2001, ushered in the TSA and Homeland Security, an ongoing assault on the innocent citizens of every country.
In 2020, the pandemic became an excuse to separate citizens from one another with a “words” propaganda campaign meant to demonize a substantial portion of the population who hold individual freedoms dear, over the fear campaign of Big Government and Big Pharma.
We all die, yet too many fear it. When the “pandemic” was declared, I fully expected 25% of the global population to die, possibly myself included. It didn’t happen! It’s like when the Civil Defense warning was sent to all Hawaii subscribers that a missile attack “is imminent,” I went to the window and looked to the direction of Oahu.
Career politicians are part of the elite power network, and they do not want dissent, especially as the systemic faults of the global financial system expose their collaborative-confidence game of rigging the system so the wealth keeps growing for the smallest percentage of population.
While the real criminals are mostly elected and sponsored by for-profit corporations, they own the justice system and call any opponent an enemy or worse.
The hypocrisy of the Western world’s allies who are oppressing their own populations through tyrannical slow-motion and behind-the-scenes laws while they project and highlight wrongful acts by Putin of Russia, Xi of China and Kim of North Korea.
I fully expect to see civil wars throughout the world. Protest is the only action that a citizen can peaceably engage in. When a peaceful protest is hijacked by evil players who escalate violence, Big Government never lets the crisis go to waste.
The lifestyle of the modern era after WWII was won by labor’s bloodshed. Few revere the history of the rights, freedoms, and luxuries of our day.
I can only hope that when citizens go face-to-face with their fellow citizens in police, National Guard and the military that those in uniform will cross over and face the same direction.

Glorifying war
It is impossible to notice around Hilo recently the increased military flights, including several F-22 Raptor jets. Each one of these “false gods of metal” F-22s costs $334 million and $70,000 per hour to fly.
This year’s U.S. military budget is $778 billion. That’s $24 billion more than Biden requested in the midst of growing human needs — responding to a global pandemic, feeding the hungry, sheltering the homeless, averting climate disaster, etc.
Each time we hear the roar of these military jets, desecrating the heavens and the earth, remember the words of former President Gen. Dwight Eisenhower more than 60 years ago: “Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world of our is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, and the hopes of its children.”
It’s time we stop glorifying war and weapons of mass destruction and get back to basics: Honor the Earth, and respect and love one another as a human family.
