Hawaii Flooded With Tourists Right Now And It's Not High Season Or A Holiday | |
Rev StarGazer (OP) User ID: 37891955  United States09/11/2013 03:19 PM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It's always hot and sticky there...we'll be in Haena in 3 weeks, hopefully the island is still there. Really?! shoot me an email when you get here - I live in Haena, across from Tunnels. If you can tell where this photo was taken from, you'll know where I'm at. ;) LOL we're staying about a 1/2 mile north of tunnels. Will pm you when we get in. Walking distance! We'll have to meet for morning coffee on the beach. :) “If we are peaceful, if we are happy, we can smile and blossom like a flower, and everyone in our family, our entire society, will benefit from our peace.” Thich Nhat Hanh, Being Peace "But ask the animals, and they will teach you, or the birds in the sky, and they will tell you; or speak to the earth, and it will teach you, or let the fish in the sea inform you." - Job 12:7,8 "When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro." - Hunter S.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 28671925 The native culture has no kindness for the invader and tradition essentially places no limits on violence against them. I don't think the natives will limit themselves to wood, stone or sharks teeth weapons this time.

I think it is funny how locals tell the white tourists that haole means white person, when it really means "no breath, no spirit" when the Hawaiians first saw whites they thought they were sickly because of their color , haole means sickly. Here on the tourist side of the Big Island I haven't seen that many more people at the stores, same as always here Kona coast? Nice place to visit for sure. Stay far away from the Marriott. Tres tacky. |

They did this by touching foreheads, and sharing a breath. Because the non locals were on a boat for so long they stunk, and were not comfortable sharing "ha", therefore the locals could not do this, and named them breathless..... |

Here on the tourist side of the Big Island I haven't seen that many more people at the stores, same as always here [link to www.kapehu.com] Haole (pronounced HOW-leh) is a Hawaiian word for non-native, particularly white. Though it's been defined in various ways, one common definition takes its meaning from the contraction of these two words: ha = breath or spirit, often interpreted to mean "the sacred breath of life within us all," or "the spirit of the Creator that breathes life into all living beings and joins us all as one." ole = no, none, without, lacking. To put a finer point on the phrase, a kahuna once explained to me that when the Christians landed and told them about their great religion of peace and love, the natives were enthralled and joined them in church for worship services. Much to their horror, the services did not begin with the ritual deep breathing that Hawaiians consider a sacred part of any ritual. Thus they named them "Haoles" or the people without breath. |

Hawaiian chiefs had a certain way they greeted each other. they shared breath. white man shakes hands. Haole! |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 46571766 that the CIA Peruvian cocaine smuggling in the 80s was actually a cover for black market gold smuggling (later found out that it wasn't just any old gold but Templar gold) and that the Hells Angels and Mafia work hand in hand with the CIA interesting, do you know what Gunther's opinion of the Templars was? He is/was one - Hapsburg royalty (actually heard he was spotted alive a couple of years ago in the Philippines) gunther of RMN fame? lady there says he's dead. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 46312559 United States09/11/2013 07:08 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | and it was crazy in the grocery store today - lines and people like the day before Thanksgiving Quoting: Rev StarGazer and the store had huge palets of food - frozen, fresh, canned, everything - clogging the aisles. I don't even know where they were going to put it all as all the shelves where fully stocked I've never seen anything like it - and in the middle of the day plus, the food barge only comes once a week to Kauai - on Thursday but this is Tuesday did a bunch of people get the word to not be home for the 11th? What you are describing sounds like the "elite" are bugging out to their "safe" locations (bunkers?) in Kauai. Why do you think all of that bulk food has been shipped there, and ahead of the usual weekly delivery? It doesn't take much to connect the dots. Unlike the false December 2012 predictions, we have a very real threat from "Comet" ISON and company. Don't believe NASA's bullshit that it is merely a dirty little snowball. The truth, in my opinion from all that I've read, is that this may well be an ELE (Extinction-Level Event). Closest passage is as follows: October 1st - Mars November 28th - Sun December 26th - Earth On November 13-14, there is a national "drill" for the electrical grid going down. You can bet that these "elite" are taking care of themselves, i.e., there is a reason why they are in Kauai at this time and why extra food is being made available. The Hawaiian islands are supposed to rise in conjunction with any pole shift, so they are considered safe bugout areas. Intuitively, I have always know this. Thanks for the confirmation There is much more to say, but I simply wanted to offer some explanation as to the influx of "elite" on Kauai. Please do your own Internet research, if you'd like to know more. please tell us more. mahalo Rev SG for the info on Kauai. and aloha pumehana, sista. busy here in O'ahu, too but that's s.o.p. tourism has been brisk. what concerns me is the uptick in lowrider heli's over our neighborhood daily now....hmmm...wish I knew why. |
