Aloha kakou he Hawai'i, PAU?

With all the current focus on "Budget and Taxes" at every level of "Government of the People",  I thought I'd share of what most people do not know of the "REAL FINANCIAL PICTURE" namely because that "PICTURE does not RESEMBLE YOU" for that was when governments was "Government for the People? But then, it was created to never resemble or include you or I for our only inclusion was and is to "PAY THE TAXES" disguised in all "Forms of Necessity".

I laugh when I hear Budget Committees of Government as they try to "pinch pennies" yet their outcome for the year ends up to be "Millions of Dollars". Truly alchemic of making sugar out of shit and one of any awareness should know who comprises the latter.

Now, since late January 2017, the continued demands of the Kanaka Maoli audience is a "Forensic Audit" of the Office of Hawaiian Affairs (OHA) is the current center ring of attraction at the Hawaii Three Ring Circus. Late 2016 it was University of Hawaii / DLNR scientific village at Mauna Kea was the Center Ring. The acts or attractions of Center Ring keep changing, like that of (10) burner stove, just moving the attraction from the front burner when it gets too hot!  

Blacks Law Dictionary 6th Edition on page 648 defines, "Forensic" as "Belonging to courts of justice". Is it any wonder why "OHA" or any Government agency shy of going there under oath, "To tell the Truth, and n nothing but the Truth, "so help us God"? 

"NO ELECTED OR APPONITED OFFICIAL" ever mentions "CAFR, Comprehensive Annual Financial Report", sadly not even President Trump. I believe the last one to do so was the first elected Republican, President Lincoln, and we know what happen to him.

It seems the CAFR is as secret or sacred as the "Subcommittee on Indian Affairs "H. R. 1944, TO
PROVIDE FOR THE SETTLEMENT OF HISTORIC CLAIMS OF THE HAWAIIAN NATIVESAND FOR OTHER PURPOSES , aka ABORIGINAL LANDS OF HAWAIIAN ANCESTRY (A.L.O.H.A ) , a aha "ROLL COMMISSION" of Hawaiian  Natives.

  "Bullies"
   by Walter Burien -- CAFR1
   03/05/17

Do you remember back when you were in grade school and there was an established bully in the school and then in comes a new kid to the school who is: big-strong-trained to fight, and it is seen pretty quickly that he backs the little kids that were and are getting picked on by the bully.
Well, the established bully (and the bully's friends) do one of two things:
1. Stop being bullies;
2. Launch an attack against the new kid using any tactics at their disposal; False accusations; talk behind the new kids back spreading lies and false innuendos; maybe even the bully will get all of his friends together and surprise the new kid trying to push him into a fight with the odds now being say 8 to 1. (that would be a serious error in judgement of the bully especially if the new kid was such a good fighter he can easily take down odds of 12 to 1)
Bullies get away with what they do by targeting a few weak kids who can not or do not know how to fight back. Bullies when confronted by an independent individual who knows how to in plain language kick--ass, will out of survival instincts being triggered, back off and not be bullies any longer, and done so by them not out of free choice but out of instincts for survival.
I note the time it takes for a bully to back off is equally proportional to the level of arrogance the bully has.
In politics predominantly so over the last 50-years, the bullies have raped the American taxpayer ever increasingly so each and every year; have stolen massive amounts of property and wealth from the American people; and diminished the education; well-being; and freedoms of the people as the bully perpetuates his theft; extortion racket; and maniacal arrogance; and assured destruction of the country simply due to the massive wealth take available and ongoing under the bully's control and at his disposal.
Well, there is a new kid who just entered the school. A kid who is a good fighter, well trained, and genuinely will back up the little kids being picked on by the bullies.
The last Presidential election reminded me of when I was back in 6th to 8th grade... Well now that the new kid is established in the school, the bullies are running scared and are amassing their forces to continue confrontation, false innuendo, and diminishing of the new kid on the courtyard. The lies, false attacks, and deceptive plays continue.
When will it stop?
ANSWER: When the bullies realize that they have; are; and will get their ass-kicked by the new kid independently by himself or with the backing of the new kid by most of the other kids in school.
In general there are three types of people in this world:
1. Those that make things happen;
2. Those that watch things happen;
3. Those that say what happened?
So, my question to you is which one are you?
 
   "The Obvious"
   by Walter Burien -- CAFR1
   03/05/17


Seeing behind the obvious can be difficult at times. The term the obvious is very deceptive.
For quite some time, just a snap of the finger as time goes, the obvious was the World was flat.
How could it be anything but flat... it took several centuries before the majority of thinking minds reversed their thinking from flat to round.
The changing off the obvious to the exact opposite thinking of what the obvious was took quite a bit of digestion from all on this planet to realize the planet was a globe.   I have seen even some (a few) today expounding on a promoted obvious that the World is still flat.
But then I remember back when I was in 7th grade, someone with all sincerity told me that if you put hot water in the ice-cube tray it would freeze faster. Did that once on his advice as a test and timed it. Won't do that again and he, the one that told me probably had a long and pretty good laugh.
I have had to "digest" many a thing over the last 25-years to get a grip on reality and the "obvious" in truth.
Three things became VERY obvious to me:
1. We are all living in a World of almost unlimited wealth. In as such, the ruthless have learned that if the population is masterfully "entertained" with the superfluous; fear; constant distraction; presented every year in an annual "loop" of events (holidays; sporting events; politics; breaking news; financial wealth creation) etc.keeping the population in a hypnotic state. In fact the primary not so obvious intent of the ruthless for that well maintained repeating loop is to give the impression to all that forward progressive movement is taking place, that all is fine and dandy in Alice and Wonderland, when IN FACT the PTB (Powers That Be) are creating their own multifaceted version of the obvious that allows THEM to have almost absolute control over the flow and direction of that wealth accumulation into their own pockets and almost absolute control over the population that the PTB are managing.
2. There are two words that are constantly in conflict with each other: Truth and the obvious. Throughout history the compatibility of those two words have flipped many a times. When the "basic truth" of the wealth involved and available on this planet is considered, and once motive and intent regarding that wealth and who is getting it is digested, always FOCUS on that one "reality" to determine what the "obvious is". Distractions, entertainment, the promoted obvious, it is to your advantage to push those aspects off into a separate box detached from ourselves, and then see the reality of the obvious "in truth".
3. Government is the optimum tool for the ruthless to secure, steal, and maintain all of the wealth that exists, and to secure all of the wealth as it is generated. It is essential for government to maintain and build that wealth through masterful management techniques. The CAFR for all local governments is their "statement of net worth". If someone wants to "take it all" they do not want to establish the obvious "in truth" by sharing the blueprint and confirmation that they have, are, and intend to take it all. Thus never a peep of the CAFR for the last seventy-years as the takeover of it all moved forward. The obvious "in reality" to accomplish the takeover was to promote selectively created "Budget Reports" reflecting shortfalls and debt to give the "illusion" government(s) were just getting by, when the reality of the obvious was the largest takeover machine in the existence of this planet was in progress... and yes they did it! As of the year 2000, collective government had amassed and was bringing in more wealth then the entire population combined. I did NOT make a misstatement. The collective totals of all local and federal government entities, in reality establishes this as a fact. It also establishes that the blueprint for the takeover for population control was as effective as intended. The reason that Russia and China are now shifting towards following the same blueprint as used in the USA is, after digestion, it was obvious for them to do the same also.
The machine is massive, and the PTB promoted their selected version of the obvious, and their promoted obvious is far from the the reality in truth we all face at this time.
If you want to do some serious digestion, 4600 local government "example" CAFRs listed by category to download can be found here - http://CAFR1.com/listings/Listings.html
Download the ones in the different categories you see close to where you live, put on one DVD, copy and share with all in your local venues and suggest for others to do the same. Run a "Public Service" add in the local paper and offer the DVD for a donation of $10 with a simple and short note: "Here for our local area is our many local government's statement of net worth, their Annual Financial Reports, the CAFR. Do we really need Taxation at all? Let's all look and see". (That is if the local paper dose not block you from doing so)
The reaction from local government officials (even though silence will be implied), the big ruthless dogs, in reality, behind closed doors, will in comparison to that of if being the Colombian Cocaine Cartel, if you had just published and shared their: growing locations, distribution routes, money laundering techniques, and a showing of direct trails to where the wealth is being held.
They use many tactics to mask the wealth but a few sharp cookies looking will start to spot the tactics used. (a biggie is they "self fund" their own promoted and listed debt using their own investment assets carefully and covertly applied)
Bottom line? In doing so it openly breaks the "Silence is Golden Rule" and qualifies the "scope and size" of what is taking place right under the public's own nose with the full cooperation of the syndicated media; controlled education; both political parties; the industrial and war machine; and the legal system for not a peep DUE TO THE WEALTH GENERATION, CONTROL, TAKEOVER OWNERSHIP, AND WEALTH MANAGEMENT involved.
Remedy? Well the promoted "obvious" government promotes is: "They survive on tax income". That promoted obvious is as far from the truth as it gets. The lineup of government's income now is: Domestic and International investment income; Taxation; followed by Enterprise (done under several names now).
The obvious since the end of the 90's is Taxation can be eliminated via restructuring local governments to operate on the Fiduciary Trust Principle to meet all aspects of their Annual Budget needs without any taxation being collected (all categories of taxation). The TRFA (Tax Retirement Fund Association) now under development is designed and being created to do just that. http://TRFA.us
When in operation, the good point is not only does it take the chains of Taxation off the population's back for the 1st time in history, it also creates a perpetual expanding and "thriving economy" where government actually brings in more than they are right now and does so "without Taxation".
Getting it done is a tad bit dangerous due to the arrogance of the extortion racket and absolute power in place today. But then when the obvious combined with truth comes to play of a perpetual expanding and "thriving economy" where government actually brings in more than they are right now, allows for the "Win - Win" to digest for one and all including the ruthless within government today. They also should realize that their current mode of arrogance of "taking it all" with the in place ever expanding taxation, and many other excessive extortion tactics they utilize, is killing the economy, the spirit of the population, and in end result will result in their own assured destruction.
History has proven time after time again that "when" the obvious actually meets truth to establish reality, an unstoppable force emerges.
Backing for the TRFA in the amount of $650,000 came in two years ago, $12,000,000 is being raised this year, and the National home office of the TRFA, staffed and ready for launch with a three-year operating budget in place as it looks now will be by the end of 2017 or beginning of 2018. Can you hear the word tsunami anyone? FREEDOM in truth is on its way...!

Aloha Michael Kumukauoha Lee,

Please forward this to all. Mahalo.

PUEO CAME TO UHWO yesterday TO SPEND THE ENTIRE DAY IN A TREE TO PROVE A POINT-

The PUEO - it does not-  repeat-  it does not hide in the groundon the groundor within the ground generally as the experts want us to believe-  it rather, the Pueo, it NEEDS AND USES TREES for sleeping, nesting, eating, mating, and carrying on its life to survive-   it has taken me since 1997 to track where this very specific pueo (ele' ele') sleeps during the day-   and for 2+ years now, I have been recording this very Pueo to prove my point-  

IT NEEDS THE STREAMS-  IT NEEDS THE TREES BY THE STREAMS-  IT MUST HAVE A BUFFER AND PROTECTED ZONES ALONG ALL OF KALOI & HONOULIULI STREAMS to make it/to survive!  
This is why DEVELOPER DR HORTON and legislator (bought off/paid for) Senator Mike Gabbard, with Senator Espero are in tandem, with bought off Councilmembers Pine and Menor, and also with corrupted State Reps Cullen, McDermott and LoPresti - all are sell outs- -all in public office are making certain every tree possible along Honouliuli Stream is cut down now-  cut down as fast as one can to make certain no Pueo Survey/Pueo Inventory can record the Pueo as "present" on Ho'opili property- or anywhere else remaining on the Ewa Plain for that matter within the Urban Growth Boundary.

Remove the trees- and the Pueo are toast.  Gabbard knows this- and this is why Gabbard and his ilk wants UHWO developed - like pouring cement over Ho'opili as quickly as possible-  to purge the evidence. 

Sorry-  you are too late-  proof!

Inline image
Here is a ten second excerpt (taken from a ten minute video OF A TWELVE HOUR TIME LAPSE MOMENT ) -time lapse all day- proving the Pueo sleep in the trees - from roughly 6am to 6pm yesterday, the video to come proves it- again- -  full time lapse video will be sent to you later tonight. Here is a sample of what you will see:

"Live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart. Trouble no one about his religion. Respect others in their views and demand that they respect yours. Love your life, perfect your life, beautify all things in your life. Seek to make your life long and of service to your people. Prepare a noble death song for the day when you go over the great divide.

Always give a word or sign of salute when meeting or passing a friend, or even a stranger, if in a lonely place. Show respect to all people, but grovel to none. When you rise in the morning, give thanks for the light, for your life, for your strength. Give thanks for your food and for the joy of living. If you see no reason to give thanks, the fault lies in yourself.

Abuse no one and no thing, for abuse turns the wise ones to fools and robs the spirit of its vision. When your time comes to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song, and die like a hero going home." by: Tecumseh -(1768-1813) Shawnee Chief

In his inaugural address, President Trump described a dark and dismal United States, a country overrun by criminal gangs and drugs, a nation stained with the blood seeping from bullet-ridden corpses left at scenes of "American carnage." It was more than a little jarring.

Anti-Trump Protests Turn Violent In USTrump Punks the Media Again
By Marc Ash
The Obama wiretapping story is a pure ruse intended solely to divert the public's attention away from the Russian influence story and bait the media into disseminating the message. The U.S. media must return its attention to the far bigger stories of Russian influence and mass deportation, and the American people must demand it.

 No Cloture for Gorsuch
By Rob Hager
Amidst all the smoke-blowing trivia and other effluvia emitted from the Trump White House, it is important that progressives keep their eye on the paramount importance of the Gorsuch nomination, and of the Democrats' necessary filibuster to stop it. Stopping Gorsuch or anyone else like him represents the difference between a chance for democracy and resumed unrelenting descent even deeper into authoritarian plutocracy.

Michael HaydenEx-CIA director on wiretap claim: Trump apparently 'forgot that he was president'
As Washington continues to reel from Pres. Trump’s evidence-free assertion that his phones were wiretapped by former Pres. Barack Obama before the election, former CIA director Michael Hayden says it seems Trump forgot something during his weekend Twitter flurry.    “It looks as if the president just for a moment forgot that he was president,” Hayden said on Fox News on Monday. “Why didn’t he simply use th...

MulticulturalismIn Defense of Multiculturalism
By John Wight
The working class is not a product of race, religion, culture or creed. Multiculturalism embraces the working class of our time, and as such it provides the locus of the only potential resistance that offers hope of a desperately needed alternative to either the nativist bigotry of Trump or the Clintonian liberalism that paved the way for Trump.

 Typical Statement from Utah Politician, paid for by your taxes
By Daniel Geery and Orrin Hatch
This was emailed to me and other Utahns by Senator Orrin Hatch. It came out on January 27, but I post it here to give a sense of this politically powerful individual's sense of priorities. He's been a Senator since 1974, after moving here from Pennsylvania. He speaks well enough for himself, and this one is fully in line with the rest of his output over the years.

Boycotting Israel leads to Palestinian unemployment.The Israeli owners of the company were not the ones trying to shut the factory down. It was not the Israeli government either. The call to action came from the United States, where—for over a decade, on dozens of college campuses every year—anti-Israel students and professors have pressured universities to cease working with companies that operate in Israel.

Is taking back our government easier than we think? Maybe. I can think of 10 friends I may be able to convince throughout the US to create activist groups and focus on what we want from our members of legislatures. We can start by focusing on what a majority of Americans from both the right and left want to see come about. I think it is worth the effort. Of course I may still have to go extreme if push comes to shove.

 Tomgram: William Hartung, The Generals vs. the Ideologues or the Generals and the Ideologues?
In the splurge of "news," media-bashing, and Bannonism that's been Donald Trump's domestic version of a shock-and-awe campaign, it's easy to forget just how much of what the new president and his administration have done so far is simply an intensification of trends long underway.

 Another "Shock Doctrine Event" -- Be Aware of its Purpose
It is necessary to expose Trump's deception, dishonesty, and treachery.

Donald Trump -- bullyTrump and the Anti-Semites
It is unlikely that Donald Trump realizes what he is doing. He probably stereotypes his own behavior as necessary and correct just as he stereotypes the behavior of those who disagree or oppose him as wrongheaded and personal (rather than principled). Most likely, he behaves as he does in an almost instinctual way. He is a born-and-bred bully.

Trump, who is as gullible as the most habitual television viewer, exemplifies our cultural and political death. He is no more "authentic" than Hillary Clinton. But he appears on our screens as more authentic because he is more deeply embedded in the medium that controls our thoughts. He is what is vomited up from the perverted zeitgeist of a nation entranced and dominated by electronic hallucinations.

 Trump Aims Not Just to Destroy Obama's Legacy, But Obama

The slur of and slap at Obama was simply the latest in Trump's by then three-year campaign to vilify, impugn, slander, and harass Obama as not only not an American citizen, but not a legitimate President.
