Why do we want to implement “Aloha Score” (and Aloha Court in Aloha Dept) in Hawaii?
We would want to restore and/or promote Aloha, that we have been exemplary in the world.
Among other things,
1. Aloha Score would promote justice.
2. Aloha Score would promote equality.
3. Aloha Score would promote fairness.
4. Aloha Score would promote kindness.
5. Aloha Score would promote unity.
6. Aloha Score would promote happiness.
7. Aloha Score would promote humbleness.
8. Aloha Score would promote perseverance.
9. Aloha Score would promote helping the weak and vulnerable.
10. Aloha Score would promote world peace.
P.S. Aloha Score would also promote playing much less power games, (often thru money), in our society…lol.
As one of plans for quick control of the virus within Hawaii, I may want to lockdown only about 3 days for now, hopefully less, if can, especially due to economy.
However, we can (may) still pursue some other measure(s) without lockdown, although it may take longer time.
However, if preferred for lockdown, I would want to give advanced notice for such 3? days of lockdown, so people and businesses can prepare.
(If needed, we may need to extend a few more days.)
However, if we can inform and/or isolate all of the infected within 3 days, we may open right after.
Note: I plan to test (e.g. 2 consecutive? day antigen tests) any and ALL populations of Hawaii during such lockdown.
Believe me, we can (may likely) control the virus within Hawaii, rather quickly and relatively easily with minimal negative effects on economy. But FIRST, we must (should) tighten our ports thru more tests and better screening.
The problem is the officials may likely and strangely not want to act accordingly (or have not shown their will). Simply speaking, they may not care much about, or have not put their priorities, on Hawaii people’s (especially the vulnerable’s) lives.
That’s why I have demanded Gov Ige’s and LG Green’s quick resignation.
Note: I believe we must have received enough money from Fed, for such necessary actions.
When it comes to manipulation by Media and Status Quo, many Hawaii people don’t (may not) know why they may be following such manipulation, but much due to their emotional health, (e.g. low self-esteem, tunnel vision, false projections, deep rooted anger and bigotry in their minds), (although they know what Aloha and Pono mean), contradicting them(our)selves.
That’s why, subconsciously, they(we) repeatedly hate them(our)selves.
This kind of emotional turmoil and devastation must stop somewhere, especially for next coming generations.
Aloha.
My contribution (with facts and evidence) to Hawaii politics and analysis in my OWN perspectives, (whether you believe it or not). And, Reminder to the voters.
Among others,
1. Gov Ige visited Korean community for the first time as incumbent Governor in 2018, when I ran.
2. Ironically, Gov Ige gave Korean community of $1,000,000 grant at that time, (although I have consistently claimed it was a bribe), probably in fear of my existence as his opponent.
(So far, Gov Ige failed to provide and disclose such grant application and corresponding documents.)
3. Probably in Status Quo’s some fear of my candidacy and possible election against Gov Ige, and despite her recent election as a US congresswoman, Ms. Hanabusa suddenly entered into the gubernatorial race in 2018, (perhaps, pressure from Status Quo).
4. Despite her failure to abide by “resign to run” mandate, Article II, Section 7 of our constitution, Media reported or somehow supported Hanabusa’s candidacy, throughout the primary.
5. Despite Hanabusa’s failure to abide by the “resign to run” mandate, Tulsi Gabbard early endorsed and campaigned for Hanabusa.
Upon my complaint, perhaps also partially due to her realization of the fact that her such move was against her principle, Tulsi announced not running for Congress, only day(s)? after my such complaint on my Facebook, (although some may argue it was coincidental and not due to my complaint…lol).
6. At this time of pandemic, especially prior to delta variant invasion to the islands, I was ONLY AND FIRST doctor (medical professional) who PUBLICLY advised officials to tighten our ports with more screening and tests, while many others (including Lg Green) were having and falsely promoting euphoria of herd immunity only thru vaccinations.
7. Since then, I have denounced Lg Green and demanded his (and Gov. Ige’s) resignation til this day.
8. Sadly, Media have supported Lg Green, despite his total negligence that he INTENTIONALLY had caused the Delta surge (and also Omicron surge as a result), against his conscience as a doctor and liason for COVID19.
9. Now, in the name of people’s calling and in the SIMILAR pattern as in 2018 primary, Kai Kahele, freshman US congressman, also tries to peek into Governor race, after making announcement of government failures in some of which also contain my prior ideas how to tackle the virus, e.g. tighten our ports with more screening and tests.
It might have been because the Status Quo’s (and Media’s) worry that Lg Green’s political future may not look good, fearing my election especially due to my such noise campaign.
Oh well?
Will see how things unfold…lol.
Thinking of recent Ms. Watson’s article and her abrupt resignation, I feel Civil Beat might have also showed and practiced discrimination against especially Native Hawaiians in false projections, in fact, especially (and probably) due to their (Patti Epler’s) paranoia that public sentiment or opinion may swiftly shift toward me in the coming election.
All Hawaii people must UNITE against such tyranny and bigotry.
Hawaii Reform! Media Reform!
Ra’anui Sumner,
Thanks for sharing the article, which had already been deleted and gone.
I don’t think it was about Ms. Watson’s call for Caldwell’s exit from the governor race.
However, in my view, Civil Beat, (Media and Status Quo), were afraid that Ms. Watson’s call for “fresh start”, wanting for “new leader” like me, (although not directly mentioned), may turn the tide of public sentiment suddenly toward me, from those three announced candidates.
Perhaps, we may be able to find out the true reasons, later.
Aloha.
Here is Ms. WATSON’S deleted article.

Opinion article badgeI want to say I genuinely like Kirk Caldwell. He was my state representative when I lived in Manoa.
One day, many years ago, I was sitting outside Starbucks and right in front of me, a car plowed through the crosswalk on East Manoa Road, hitting two pedestrians. Thank God we were inches from the Manoa fire station and firemen came racing out to tend to the injured men.
But I was horrified.
I made calls to the offices of council members Ann Kobayashi and Kirk Caldwell and within a few short weeks, crossing flags were installed.
This was my favorite Kirk Caldwell.
This was before …
A Love Of Public Service
Caldwell, as well as the people around him, have said he genuinely loved being mayor. There was no doubt he loved the job, and there were things I loved about his administration, specifically some of the people he hired.
But others …
The federal indictments of two of Caldwell’s top officials, former general counsel Donna Leong and former managing director Roy Amemiya, were a clear sign that concerns about the Caldwell administration had merit. Federal indictments do not happen lightly. It’s clear that the U.S. attorney has been investigating and building the case for years. And they may not be done yet.
If Kirk Caldwell is also being investigated — although so far there has been no indication that he has received a subject or target letter from the U.S. Department of Justice — it would be quite the blow to his legacy, which already wasn’t spectacular. In any case, the charges against his top aides send the public a very alarming message about Caldwell’s leadership skills.
At best, some of his top officials were conducting official acts that resulted in federal charges.
So while in office, Caldwell was at least clueless — and that’s not good.
The Air Is Thin At The Top
Kirk Caldwell is a cautionary tale to other elected officials and other candidates in the 2022 elections: Echo chambers are dangerous.
Elected officials need thick skins, not only publicly but privately. A good elected official invites not only diverse opinions, but establishes an intellectual environment where advisers can debate important issues in an open and informed manner.
Great leaders surround themselves with people who are both smart and highly ethical. There will always be people with individual agendas eager to cozy up to people in power. Great leaders know how to identify these people and keep their distance.
I imagine it sometimes gets hard for elected officials to know who their real friends are. This is why it’s critical for leaders to have people around them who ground them. It’s just too easy to go astray.
And right now, Kirk Caldwell needs good friends around him. He needs people who will be painfully honest with him. The painful, honest truth is that he didn’t have much chance of winning this governor’s race to begin with — and the indictments are the final nail in that coffin.

He needs to just stop.
Don’t get me wrong. I think anyone has the right to run. I think competition is healthy and important. I’m all for having large slates of great candidates. The thing is, he’s not a good candidate. He’s not a viable candidate. And running just fuels the political fodder and becomes a painful distraction in an election that needs attention and thoughtful consideration.
Time For A New Generation Of Leaders
We need a fresh start. We need fresh faces. We need fresh ideas.
People are exhausted and frustrated. The disconnect between the government and the people has never been greater. And I just don’t feel that the public has the patience or the appetite for empty promises and platitudes.
Voters aren’t dumb. Stop treating us as statistics to be manipulated and controlled. Treat us as people. Treat us as individuals and families that have so much to lose in the upcoming elections.
Politics may be some peoples’ careers, but policies affect our lives.
My hope is that every candidate thinks hard about how they are going to improve the lives of Hawaii’s residents. I’m not talking academic exercises, I’m talking real, immediate, direct benefits. Reducing the cost of living. Making housing affordable. Increasing wages. Creating jobs. Making classrooms safe for students and teachers.
Elections should not be about what candidates want, but rather what the people need. What’s best for the residents? What’s best for our families? I’m not talking donors, I’m talking about the people who can’t afford to donate or just don’t want to donate.
I’m talking about the people who so often become invisible in politics.
And perhaps the only way to make our leaders listen is to vote. Voting matters, because it is the great equalizer. Whether you donate $6,000 or nothing, everyone gets the same one vote. But that vote only has power when we exercise that right.
And if we are unwilling to exercise that right and that power, then we will get the government we deserve.”
We need next Governor, someone who has good medical knowledge; so, he or she can proactively tackle this pandemic that we have been suffering much.
But, Not LG Green! He had chances to prove it, but very sadly, he did totally opposite to his conscience as a doctor and liaison for COVID-19, having caused tens of thousands unnecessary infections and deaths.
That’s why you need to vote for me, if I run.
P.S. Plz don’t forget that Media and LG Green have been in cahoots, thinking much of their ulterior interests, even at this time of pandemic medical emergency.
Let’s heal especially for our next generations.
Although it’s very difficult, if we improve a little by a little, a step by a step, our next coming generations may (at least) live much better than us.
Aloha.
Mr. Friedrick Hayek.
Economist of my interest at this time of pandemic economy.
Mr. Hayek’s economic theory and philosophy could have helped us to escape the stagflation during the 70’s, which might have also helped in Reagan’s economic policies, (as well as fall of communism as a result).
We may need to reflect his ideas more, at this time of economic dilemma, likely facing stagflation with too much supply of money.
Aloha.
Note: Simply, based on Hayek’s economic theory and philosophy, in (likely) tackling stagflation in this pandemic, my prospective administrations may likely need to give more freedom (e.g. tax breaks) to Hawaii corporations, at least until we get thru such (much) economic hardships, as long as we (they) pursue self-sustainable, diversified economy.
Aloha.
