DEc 2016 Update Hawaii Nightclub- Syndicate

Hawaii Night Club scene becoming increasingly unsafe 

The notorious Hawaii Syndicate and any related US military and US Military veterans are rampantly pushing cocaine in the open with Honolulu Liquor Commission seeming to turn a blind eye to any illegal activities as well as  and drug sales in their nightclubs. 

It has become unbearable to even attempt being in the Honolulu night scene for me. It's almost like it's a horribly flagrant  backlash to the Phillipine Dictator Duarte's executions of drug dealers. 

One nighttime patron, stated an EX-IM shipping accountant recounted the vast amounts of cocaine that the Dock workers/ Hawaii Syndicate bring in through Honolulu. Additionally, how that despite some bender partying, that drug tests for Shipping & EX-IM conveniently came up negative when tested for the drug during regular employee screenings. 

Additionally noted is the US military personnel have bragging rights to pay off the drug-test labs in exchange for a clean drug-test in order to maintain rank, security clearance, and employment. 

Granted, the night clubs have not shut down as they are maintained as "helping people in need" from all walks of life.

One anonomous person who is more familiar said;- Once the Hawaii Syndicate hates you, you won't be able to work or drink anywhere in Hawaii. 

Intro viewpoint: Dragon mom versus Tiger mom

Repost from Piano Noir 2012

The Dragon, a universal creature that is emblazoned in both European and Asian cultures. Moms in both European & Asian culture both try to prepare their children for the battles in life. However, being the first generation in a USA culture that discriminates regardless of lies that are told, the Tiger mom's methods are out. Most of the mothers who come from foreign or “exotic” cultures had plenty of self confirmation. Many of the moms grew up with friends who had similar experiences to them in their motherlands. If they had TV and media, these mothers were frequently inundated with cultural images of their parent culture. The amount of criticism they received was likened to that of people who were like them in their motherland.

Now, these mothers enter their new realm USA. Parents of the 1st generation can be subject to major identity crisis. They are singled out. And, many parents who typically lie to hide a common social problem, don't understand just quite how deep an emotional and psychological ravine their children  fall into. Many of these children grow into adults who need to try and “verify” their own image in early adulthood by travelling to Asian countries. Sometimes, this is such an emotionally and psychologically intense experience that the once successful child that the Dragon mom pinned to her ego ceases to live. Mostly, due to frequently high suicide rates among Asians & Asian-Americans who strive for success in the USA. There is little acceptance by the Dragon mom or parents as to why their children did not successfully complete college, university, or their PHD program when it is within a week away. Some outwardly blame their own children and mock them to maintain status in the USA community, rather than take on the blatant responsibility to protect their children through early adulthood.

Sometimes this protection involves participation in the young adult's life past the age of 18. And, it still involves calling the College or University where their son or daughter attends to keep things in line, yet at a distance. Being a minority “ethnic” group in the USA is another thing that many Dragon mom's don't understand or want to accept. Sometimes this will unfortunately include unnecessary and costly legal battles to get their children through higher educational institutions safely. Many minority families can't afford these battles and so usually the child of the Dragon mom is left to fed for themselves in an unrelenting pit of discrimination, abuse, and being taken advantage of (including assault or pushed to the brink with suicide). Competitive majority & USA domestic dorm mates can also score automatic 4.0gpa if their dorm mate commits suicide.  Being a Dragon and hovering over the child even in early adulthood is of prime importance for success.

Many children of these parents usually begin to do soul searching by the time they reach their mid 20's. For others looking for answers, this stage happens later and sometimes in the midst of a pressing professional life.

To be continued... and revised 1/4/2012 - 11/23/2016

One Thing

One thing that I have noticed in the European and American special interest and community groups, as well as spiritual places to worship;- is that the Japanese are outnumbered by the huge numbers of Koreans, Vietnamese, Chinese, Indian and other Asiatic groups. This give Japan a very very fine line of measure as the discrimination is not just about the country the Asian person of descent or racial group. It is very much about the Caucasian, African-American, Latino, and other European & Americans lumping the totality of Asians together as One representational group.
What I have found, is that Japan carries a fake sense of prestige that is disrespected by many Caucasian- Americans, and Europeans. They disrespect it because the "human slave power" is low in numbers. So, many of them use Japan for the money they would not be able to obtain safely in their home countries in a similar way. Japan has little to no human power, and is viewed as no longer having a backbone or strength of unified national image.
Even here in Hawaii, there are latina women who whiten their skin, and while younger and not putting on the typical weight of an elder woman in her 30's;- they pass themselves as Japanese to the American European crowd. Obviously this is a different type of impression management to the international community that can later effect opinions. 

The American purge 2016

Due to American and USA banks that are anticipated to fold by 2017, the wealthy are doing their purge. The purge is a slew of inexpensive yet strategic assassinations or hits on potential future USA business leaders. 

This is particularly noted to affect the Asian business community in the USA, since they are highly competitive within.

USA racism may not be the only mainstay affecting the wealthy.

Many Vietnamese and Koreans in Hawaii are also in good favor with North Korea. 

Phillipines immigrants are already subservient to the USA military. And, there is plenty of gun running favoritism from the Vietnamese-American  military.

USA Security Measures Failed

The United States of America prohibited my American identity from having any indication of Asian nationality. This posed a huge problem once the Patriot Act was implemented. Those who are more racist, as we know now with the racially charged speeches of presidential candidate Donald Trump. The immediate issue that was caused was those outside our small and very racist caucasian community of 3000 people accusing my brother and I of being terrorists.
This is despite attending elementary school, middle school, and high school in our other Home country of the United States.

They killed my brother in conjunction with the publication of photos of murdered terrorists in the Gentleman's Quarterly magazine in 2005. My life was constantly threatened, attacked, abducted, and assaulted by police as well as federal agents in Pennsylvania. I left and found some refuge in Ithaca, NY until I was told they tried to burn down my newly started piano studio. They missed and burned down the Ithaca Ballet Studio that was in the adjacent building.

Hawaii needs to end sex trafficking

The Old Hawaii needs to grow up into the Western world. The local born crowd revels in the decadent trades and human trafficking as a secondary source of income. It is also way they can import and export terrorism to promote the old idea that Hawaii is not a part of the United States. That is in addition to their sale of children to foreign countries, kids who run off to the mainland with pimps, & women forced into the sex trade where there is a continual massive slippery slope of blackmail.
Those in the human labor "industry" sometimes gain outside financial support from undefined Muslim business interests. While the same women are prostitutes for the US military that resides in Hawaii, the local law enforcement virtually gives them free reign by having a blind eye to these trafficked workers to physically attack other women and families. Maybe in comparison to mainland USA, there should be a wider definition of prostitution. I have heard stories from Bar owners who have received fines for their Hostesses being engaged in prostitution. This was frequently due to undercover officers propositioning women in their establishments for prostitution. The frequency of men propositioning women for prostitution or sex in any Hawaii public location is very high. It is unlike the Mainland USA where prostitution

The maturity of both military and non-military officers and housewives who participate in the Hawaii and Transient Vegas sex worker industry is a gateway for human trafficking to remain enabled in the Hawaiian islands.

I feel redundant saying this and personally feel it may make some matters worse. if Hawaii state and City of Honolulu were to shut down most exotic dancer clubs and hostess bars;- it would put an immediate end to the above ground use and crimes against dancers and other women who prostitute out of the hostess clubs. 

From my personal experience, corrupt law enforcement is able to take money from women in the industry and use it directly against the women's domestic violence support attorneys and social workers.

 It is self defeating for Hawaii to keep so many hostess bars open, since most of the same women are in circulation and supposedly own homes elsewhere in the United States, take up to 10k to foreign countries they are from, or are trying to pay legal or hospital bills from Domestic Violence issues and stalkers and having to move off island.

Visit to temple

I visit the temple at Byodo-In in Hawaii. 

There are many American tourists many who seem to be Latino who are sporting biceps with Christian tattoos while holding their cameras.  I heard some are say that the temple exists so they can find hookers and run hookers. One of them is a large African-American man. I hear one saying, that one's a hooker and that one there. He seems to be pointing out the Asian women. I'm horrified that this is what temple means to the non-Asian American men. 

After making a small donation, I light incense. And find a place to sit and meditate. A fat Caucasian woman moves the long bench I am sitting on in the Buddha room to adjust her sock. Then she turns around to sit.

There is no introduction room or anything for this temple structure. It seems to have little spiritual value to those around me. One Asian parent prostrated in front of Buddha. She tries to have them bow. The parent's children ask why he needs to pray to Buddha in English. 

I feel more violates than relieved to come to this "sanctuary" as it provides no sanctuary to me. 

I think of Buddhas animals as I continue meditate, and how they each have a place in Buddhas' kingdom. Then I think of the tourists. I try to internalize the outrage and anger I have found in this visit to temple.

North Korean Surfing Trip

Some things that could wrong with the Trip Itenerary to visit North Korea;- Ok not that I should be thinking about going to North Korea at all being that they abducted one of my cousins from an Akita, JP beach.

However, If someone wants to sport appx. $4000 to see how far I make it on the trip;- i'll sign up. And I'm Tan from the Hawaiian sun.

Orientation in China

#1 - Japanese restrictions on travel to China. And, since USA doesn't acknowledge my Japanese family and called us Japanese garbage;- Someone will probably cancel my flight who knows better overseas. I have gotten a Chinese Visa before, however with misspelling of my name. The name being misspelt can create issues if trying to LEAVE China, even if they allow the entry. 

 America is politically insensitive lets anyone go anywhere and ignores important things like its own security agreements and international families that are larger than the Kennedy's. 

Oh yes, and the rumor that being Christian is illegal in China and currently being enforced and punishable by Death. 

'KARMA AFFECTS CHRISTIANS 

In 2005 after my brother was murdered, i helped some 25 Chinese Exchange students as I saw an organization called People Link bringing 400+ Chinese exchange students to our very Racist Philadelphia suburb. Some of the Children were sons and daughters of the more educated and elite in Chinese Universities and Government. The Children were aged 8-16 and accompanied by 1 young adult translator. I stepped up to the challenge since the Philadelphia area's racism typically would result in a slew of Foreign Exchange students being dropped off at our doorstep like a litter of unwanted kittens. Some of the stories I heard throughout my life that came back to me to try and assist in the area included 10 year olds being thrown out on country roads with a sign that said they need a home (because they weren't Christian) The American host families voluntarily signed a contract for the responsibility of caring for an international child visitor knowing full well that the children were coming from China and were not Christian. Several dozens of children went through similar ordeals that one year (though It was a problem in the Philadelphia region for DECADES and included Japanese students).

#2. - Tourist of Pyongyang;- Despite peaceful intentions of those who organize peaceful efforts. Actions against Citizens of countries that are highly disliked can occur. 

  In 2004, on a private business recon of Thailand after the Tsunami;- I was invited to China by a wealthy French Export-importer. I stayed up on the politics with Japan and China then, and decided I would wait a month instead of easily going on the day visas. Because of my Japanese family relations, I had great business concerns. And, within a week of turning down the offer, a number of Japanese tourists (including women) in China were mobbed and beaten/assaulted at another Anti-Japan protest though with escalated violence. The first publicised Toyota burning in English occurred in the months before my brother's death in the USA. 

Thought on TSA

Collateral damage of TSA on "race and minority women". Especially since they target "me" 100%.

I'd like to know the financial setback when the airport's TSA confiscates various items from passenger luggage. 

This happens every flight I make, they take my carry on too and damage electronics if they ever return them. Also collateral damage of the delay of held luggage and missing appointment or not being able to charge a phone because TSA takes the charger.

Financial damage & personal security tampering to my life without reason or repayment.

Not sure how I feel about it, vegan looks pasty, chalky, grey or muddy. isn't all it for my Hapa skin tone. 

Make International Trade a NGO issue. UN protections only.

TPP, Presidential Candidates, and new EX-IM

The United States does not need international trade. Every single presidential candidate running this season seems to agree. I waited 6 years for the ASEAN nations Japan partner to join in negotiation for the TPP in 2011. I have waited another 5 years to hear that my favorite Hillary Clinton @doesn't like the deal", mind you that I  rep'd the USA. And last night I got a reminder from an Asian rep type person that I should QUIT my current job in the USA. That leaves me without income at all AND no social services support. The USA still hasn't lightened up since dropping the Bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Nearly a year ago in  2005, my 3rd party intermediary was terminated. It left me running for my life from the staunch republican interest and  without sufficient support in the USA. That is despite my meagre attendance at APEC 2011 for a show of face & Japan announcing they would enter into TPP negotiation talks  with the USA.

 The special missions that ran through China and other parts of Asia circa WW2 helped open conversation for trade with the USA. The post-Vietnam war era lead to more Recon efforts of Asia and new marriages and family relations with  America's United States and Asian nations. Only a generation away, ASEAN countries have mostly decided to try and accept a "Deal" to do trade with the USA. Despite USA Armed Forces' interest in opening certain trade routes;- some people, especially in ASIA,  disagree that it should be US  military initiated.

I'll add more later... I'm just about ready to step out of the USA, as there is no indicator that the US Military will cease to hinder my well being. Additionally that there may be some "gang wars" and assassinations to hit the Hawaii & NY domestic shippers;- as it has come to my personal attention, so does my life feel in greater jeopardy today.

Unpacking Asians on Oahu

To most mainlanders, all Asians are the same on Oahu. Hawaii is a more complex state and is diverse with a segment of non-English speaking. It is a  Hub of international & domestic legitimate business, black market business, government contractors, mafia families & Bloods, high school gangs & kid drug dealers, private USA citizens, and military soldiers of all branches.

People of Asian descent on Oahu

1. "Hawaii born Locals"migrant farmworkers from China & Japan who came to Hawaii long before the USA took it over and declared Hawaii the 50th state for statehood. 

2. International tourists from All Asian nations.

3. International military from Asian nations  including China & Japan.

4. International land owners - hold Hawaiian land and or building/ air space rights.

5. Mainland raised 1st generation Asian-Americans who transplanted to Hawaii during the Patriot Act especially.

6. International Gangs/Mafia - Many

- Yakuza are from diverse international backgrounds (White, Black, Korean, Vietnamese) yet operate through Japan. Japanese Yakuza are more frequently from the Big Island/ Hilo. 

They are especially known with the USA military crowd as their go-to for women in the sex industry. Hawaii is a stopping point for USA military & ships returning from deployment. A century in existence and organizationally older than the State of Hawaii, yakuza have proliferated the young Hawaii state as legitimized business people who network together and have spiritual Dojos/temples that they support.

Most Americans don't know the complexities of Japan or Asian culture and business's as well as the plethora of unfamiliar and typical Japanese surnames. This makes the culturally superstitious Americans easy to be manipulated by yakuza because they are a #1 source for Asian cultural knowledge in the USA. 

About making Films in Asian Language versus globalized English

My notebook: intro of this symposium panel

This morning I went to the Carnation room at the Ala Moana hotel and sat down to listen to the morning symposium "Chasing the Dream: Culture, Capitalism, and Cinema" presented by Netpac@25. It was followed by the panel discussion on "Co-productions and Globalization".

"When Language is Outlawed, speaking it is a political act." ~ Ella Henry, filmmaker New Zealand 

The only Panel Members I really think have the right mindset were-- New Zealand's Ella Henry, Philippine's Nick Deocampo, India's Nilesh Maniyar, China's Shayoi Sun.

"Word's are not innocent & have identity of the Colonizer. Identity is a negotiated process."~ Nick Deocampo, filmmaker Phillipeans.

They didn't give Kazakhstan Gulnara Abikeyeva's time with her more formal paper to share.

What I got out of the 2 panel sessions:- 

•Trying to overcome borders and communicate to other "cultures".

      - whether to use Cultural specific language or globalization's English language.

•The people's film claiming to do combat artistically against some globalization and corporate film mindset emanating from  Hollywood's "Wagnerianish" auture.  

•Attempting to "negotiate" the use of language in a world where only America allows some liberal idea of "freedom of speech".

•Nick Decampo was the only one who ventured to mention ASEAN and making film footage of rice.

------ I did ask 1 question about use of English and tried to briefly explain That even if conversation is put into English that it does not mean there is much context for the rest of the English speaking/ Euro-centric world. -- 

That I went to a business Dinner where there was a table full of people all who spoke English -- who needed a translator to give in depth context of seemingly simple sentences--also broken down in English, to an American Businessman. 

Still how the film world plans to cross globalization borders without similar dinner scenes to resemble & more like a cinematic Opera glance at the story from which the libretto has been derived,  is beyond me. ---------------------

^The panel chalked it up to a "negotiation" of use of language over culture. Or how to "weave" culture specific material with Global English...without getting into cinematic style.

It also made me reconsider being more specific when I use the following terms;-

•indigenous (political term, geographical presence, personal experience of foreign body)

•culture & culturally specific vs. society

• cosmopolitanism (went unmentioned) vs. globalization

---------------

Teach Hawaii's children about the Mason-Dixon line!!!

Hawaii State seems to be a place that makes Foreign ideas of slavery acceptable to many residents because it is a temporary means to an end;- and serves the moment rather than their future. Hawaii State's school system and educators ares definitely tied up with the overthrown Hawaiian government by the USA and they haven't moved forward or learn much about those things that make America what it is.  Bringing Hawaii up to speed with their land/property laws, ideas of fixed rent/ say RENT CONTROL!!!, or maintaining a respectable society that isn't groveling at the feet of Foreigners with money.

Most of us from East Coast USA are used to going on school trips yearly, if not bi-annually to see the Liberty Bell, Constitution Hall, the Capitol Building, Monticello, Statue of Liberty, The Underground Railroad, Valley Forge, Tomb of the Unknown Soldier just to name a few places. This is something practically inaccessible and uninteresting to most of Hawaii's youth and their parents.

They also seem to NEVER have heard of the Famous Mason-Dixon line. The line that divided the Free states from the Slave states.  And the older Hawaiian residents argue, minus googling, about the location of it as if I have never seen it the hundreds of time I made the drive from my home state of PA to Washington DC as an intern or organizer.

Mason-Dixon Line, boundary between Pennsylvania and Maryland (running between lat. 39°43−26.3”N and lat. 39°43−17.6”N),

180 days to go

July 22nd, 2013 at 8AM in the First District Court of Honolulu;- the ex-nuclear submarine engineer plead guilty to a charge of Harassment rather than waiting till July 24, 2013 for my appearance as a State witness in what HPD defied as "abuse."
This was the 4th very violent attack made on me by this young 26 year old man. Because of his security clearance, it seems that Hawaii and law enforcement have given him one year of leeway in all incidents that I have reported. This last incident involved me fighting for my life and for consciousness. And, he is a known drunk at bars and for being in fights.
The newly assigned Hawaii State prosecutor never contacted me regarding the case. She also refused to make time to discuss anything with me. Though this new prosecutor seems to be of Japanese descent, she also seems very biased against me as a 1st generation American who is of direct Japanese national descent. (I was advised of the hatred Japanese-Americans in Hawaii are veraciously against those of us who have a direct connection to Japan).
The public that has encountered and witnessed the attacks made on me by this Navy engineer put pressure on me in April 2012 to get a Temporary Restraining Order on the Navy Officer. The restraining order was granted in May 2012. The Navy engineer did many things in order to prevent the TRO from being known by his Commanding Officer. This included more than 6-8 months of his
behavior getting me thrown out of my apartments, having his fellow Navy Officers stalk me and take my phone, His damaging my working laptops and phones as well as many other personal belongings I had, and being verbally and mentally abusive to me for hours on end.
Hawaii State supports this behavior because of their need for men like him to feed their Hostess bar and Sex trade industries. It is a well known fact that the State encourages these men to absolute drunkeness so that they can collect more money in DUI's and other legal matters, as well as fining bars and their workers.  And, that the State supports "soft" sex slavery and human trafficking where women wind up stuck in Hawaii and the Law Enforcement does nothing to help protect women. In fact, over the course of the past 1 year and 4 months I have learned many TRO's are issued against officers of the Honolulu Police Department. Additionally, they target people flying into this island state through the forms that are required to be filled out on the plane (as if entering another country).
Furthermore, the network of Attorneys is not like the networks on the Mainland. It is in fact more exclusive as law firms and attorneys collaborate, organize, and manipulate their clients' legal conflicts of interest.  This is something that the local Courts overlook, as it is yet another way for this Island State to maintain some financial influx in this remote economy.
So, today, I broke down in tears because my previous lifestyle has been mostly decimated by the Military and Law enforcement community here in Hawaii. I have lost a tremendous amount of time, personal dignity, years of paid work, as well as my musical talent going to waste in this rotten and virtually un-cultured Island economy. I'm not certain as to how to re-establish my life, and on my own terms;- since this State of Hawaii has taken away the very things that made my life independent and respectable.
The only light is that;-  Hopefully, the Ex-nuclear engineer will be discharged from the Navy and the 12 or so nuclear submarine reactors will sit in Pearl Harbor and Hawaii's surrounding waters a bit safer.

Vent on: Military men in Hawaii

Dating the US military guy...
This is difficult. Then add in extra difficulty if you're like me and Asian/Japanese type of woman in the sense that you aren't American homespun with all of your relevant family in the USA. Military men seem to think that because I currently live in Hawaii;- means that I'm o.k. with what I consider a nightmarish prostitution/hostess bar scene that Hawaii State regulates. Fact is: I never saw a hostess bar or typical Asian prostitution scene until I moved to Hawaii. And, I don't like it.

Dating & relationship pet peeves that irritate me and lead to relationship failure:

1. Military guys who give porn to my male friends saying they think it's me on the video (note: this applies to a plethora f-ton of American guys (B/W/other) who have little to no decent relationships with Asian women they have met overseas at strip bars or hired as prostitutes. Hawaii seems to tolerate this behavior a ton.

2. Military guys who get back from deployment having an Asian or specifically Japanese porn addiction;- thinking that I'll be o.k. with their Asian porn association to my personality. This applies to most guys in the USA since most of their experience with Asian/Japanese women is watching and looking at porn. They don't care that I was raised with Christian values, and so I have to try and pick the "less scummy" guys out of the pile, or stay single.

3. Military guys who think that because they watch Asian porn;- it's o.k. to be mentally and emotionally numb to my feelings. Military guys feel they are more deserving to treat me badly in this sense because they have "earned" it through their service. Trying for an apology from them is usually unsuccessful.

The majority of American guys I meet, and even spend time with eventually bring any hope of a relationship to a sudden halt. Mostly, because they just see me as something to be used. Their behavior has gotten to be so tired, repulsive, and contrary to anything I want my life to come in contact with it's making my staying in the States highly improbable. Respect for me teeters on the brink of disaster daily;- and if I'm lucky maybe weekly.

Thirteen Minutes

Positvely wonderful: Thirteen Minutes magazine popped out at me on the newstand for a change with the music coverage in it's recent issue. That is more specifically, Vol. 2 Issue 3 for $5.99 + tax at the local Borders.
includes in the Music feature issue: Mary Digby, Gackt Oshiro, and Ayumi Hamasaki Also, there are many articles written by Asian Americans, And it offers a refreshing change of featuring Asian influenced models.

Though, I admit I was cringing each time I flipped through Thirteen Minutes magazine the page to see a starkly Aryan European model. I think it's bad enough that completely white people try to pass themselves off as exotic, let alone their latest development in saying that they are Asian and bully their way through a completely mispronounced reading of romaji for Tibetan, Japanese, Chinese and declaring that they are capable of understanding everything Asian. No I don't necessarily mean the models, I mean their subclades of modern fashion and "progressive" acceptance.

Let's delve into culture further and please attend an NYU opening of Kip Fulbeck's the Hapa Project coming next month. I am a halvsie and I am disgusted with the gross racism that is directed at me. Go get a clue at NYU.
