Allowance for my dead body?

Today, I was paying for a Japanese snack...off my diet plan --Tofu,
on sale for $1.39/lb. A grey haired Local man and a younger woman barged by me in about 2 ft. Of space including where I stood at the checkout station. I reacted by yelling because I was startled. And since the door they came through was an exit where more than a dozen registers were located with small 2" wide aisles, it was enough to cause concern that they may have intended to harm me. When I yelled, they stopped.  They apologized.

I screamed something to the affect about how rude people are in Hawaii and if everyone is this way its no wonder we had so many m-16's at the meeting.

As I left, unbeknownst to them and many people who think I should be college aged late 20's... I went to APEC in 2011 for EXIM a representing the USA. I vent here on this blog about my Hawaii experiences and security perceptions.

During the 2011 meeting in Honolulu a lot of fun, honest, and some criminal minded  partiers left the area and their apartments temporarily due to the presence of m-16's and security.  One local & Hawaii man was shot at a famous American fast food restaurant. Many local Hawaii residents were upset. While the trial was still in public eye,  a sniper/lawyer introduced himself to me as an attorney working kon the shooter's case. I never thought it was right, but the risk of international incidents being put on USA ground is serious.

In hindsight, the sniper/lawyer had his own business plans and really never intended to assist me. Especially since the issues that held me up and  had me crawling in to the  meeting instead of being 110% are too much for me to handle alone while still being barrages daily with local torture. So a sniper took down a local

  However, it makes me realize something about security, why is it ok for Hawaii State to allow such ill behaved local residents on a daily basis?

I felt very threatened by the couple at the checkout line. It felt  like they planned a dry run to kill me. I typically stay out of main public areas and it leaves for a dull an unproductive life in Hawaii. There have already been 3 attempts on my life that the immensely corrupt Honolulu Police Department didn't investigate properly to protect the local & military men involved. That does not include the 2009 abduction report that I need to file since I have low confidence in the HPD and have seen how they handled and assisted my assailants. I'm tempted to handle it in a more social way, not to air dirty laundry.

I'm writing not just because I'm upset, 6years after the 2011 APEC meeting I was prepped for in 2005/2006. But because Hawaii is clearly bent on controlling the world by being socially askew at every corner. Including the "couple doing a dry run" scenario at the checkout intending to slash my guts out.

Ugh... More stress, for me everyday.
I did come to Hawaii to vacation. I came to see if I could live here and "blend" a little more. I just absolutely hate a lot about how the people decide to be here. I now face an additional set back of  about 8years and more than politics have changed. I am fearing for my life, for my future, because I have played out this farce for 12 years in the USA. A lot needs to change in Hawaii State and the USA to ensure security. Its virtually impossible to demands that from the USA.
Just in my own immediate USA family - the hospital killed my sister, several attempts on my brothers life from kids breaking his leg at church to hit &run to his university mates dosing him, to his whites girlfriends coaxing him into gettinf jumped and beaten up by their white brothers and friends. Some days it would be the black neighborhoods and he would return home with bruises on his throat and face. Then there was his white Quakertown employer at Valley Precisio  telling my father my brother is "best off dead", a conversation I will never forget.

I am blogging this today, because I see the state of the world and USA. If I do wind up dead soon, as racist and nationalistic hostilities are becoming more prevalent from whites in Honolulu... I hope someone gets a small glimpse. I'm trying to survive the onslaught, while providing my viewpoint without pay or reward.
I have always believed that NOONE should have to live through these things like we did with my Mother being from a Japanese national security family from the Emporer's house. My parents ran the real rule book of legalities. I got noone who loves me my entire life...and all those who try to offer solace are weaker for not looking at what USA does and Change it to make it safer for more people.

Complete and utter emptiness as I read about the North Korean Nuclear threat.

Get Hawahi out of Shipping

7 years of being abused by Hawaii state doesn't go unnoticed. To even thibgd out or to level the playing field;- play Hawaii local rules in Japan and beat them up, throw them in Job to negate their shipping and EXIM related employment.
issue felonies to those who have any connection to Hawaii and support those who are encouraged hurtful practices and create complications for those in Hawaii.
Hawaiian like to be America's pet to wreck Asia.

Banking Security issue USA

My - banking security issue
🔺Physical address in bank database ok
🔺Bank Teller requests new physical address to find out real residence = physical security threat
🔺Bank Teller creates issue with account to further flag my account. If not shut down account.
🔺 Bank calls to settle $2 difference created by teller. Instigates issue.
🔺Bank Teller = security threat due to supply of information at teller window

Asian American Business leader- in Hawaii

In 2011 I attended a conference for Asia related Business leaders in And or for the USA. 
It took me everything to walk through that door as there was such heightened security threats on my life to that point.
Today, most every American I meet-- Military, Civilian, corporate, or housewife continue to undermine and disrespect me in, Especially in Hawaii.
The list is a long one;- 
1. Military members who drink excessively and are dependent on or sell illegal natcotixs.
2. Civilians who exert opposing political force at their workplace.
3. Aggressive men and women who are misguided politically, yet have trust in whoever it is they are listening. To.

Paranoia or Police use of Frequency weapon?

Today, March 6, 2017,  I was driving in Honolulu on Hobron Road and a cop car (civilian car with blue lights) crept up in back of me. I felt noticeable body temperature rise heat in two places, like a Sound frequency weapon was aimed at my head as well as specifically the back of my heart. 
Could it be that those in the vehicle are targeting me, or just the run of mill unsuspecting citizen?

This was not the 1st time this week high frequency of any type affected me. While at a movie theatre, similar pain & body heat rise to the brain near my ear.

Toxic mold x4- Oahu March 1 rainfall

Intense rainfall and Flooding happened March 1st. The place where I had lived till March 1 was already waterlogged with a collapsing ceiling over the kitchen sink. I moved out. When I took my things to storage March 1 there was a puddle forming in the storage warehouse. I looked up and there was a ballon of water formed at one of the taped up pipes. 
Though normally the driest sports on the island @ North Shore;- I heard friends' places  were flooded on ground floor definately from Turtle Bay to Sunset Beach with about 3 feet of water. My entire 6mo winter plan was already snafu from late October...
I had been paying rent  in Waikiki an under construction remodelling condo that had also been plagued with toxic mold in the kitchen vent from upstairs water damage.
The toxic mold is pervasive...
Pauoa Valley
Pacific Heights
Waikiki Condo building (lowrise)/high rise
Kualoa (may be next?) 
Top of the North Shore possible in the next weeks

No hierarchical Structure, Genesis

The United States itself has never directly gone to war or battle with China. I don't see how Japan intends to rely on the USA as any type of ally. 

If there is no hierarchical structure, merely an atom that changes placement of orbitals....I mean as a species, as a socio-political mindset-- why do people in diverse professions continue to refer to a top down or pyramid structure? 
Each species on the planet/ type of people is encoded with the same information- yet due to the circumstance surrounding them;- one format allows life. Another format would ensure sooner death and opportunity and space for the predecessor. 
With human sacrifices in the past;- why is God not most compassionate to eliminate the most greedy, gluttonous, hate mongering offspring?

Hawaii Tourists- Immigration, ID, Safety, Financial cards, Trump

Day of the Mark of the Beast is here.
Generally the public has complied with many of the requests to see ID from noted law enforcement.
Foreign tourists, travellers, and even 1st generation US citizens face a threat. Damaged Documents and missing credit cards, debit cards, and other forms of payment.

I lived in Waikiki near the bars and restaurants that are difficult to get away from. Since I don't take anyone of US military rank as "coincidental" in my life, recently for 2 months I lived at the home of an 0-6 USMC Colonel and livid Trump supporter. One day we had gone for breakfast and he told me that he saw a car with a Hillary Clinton sticker on it. When he saw the sticker on the vehicle he wanted to ram into the vehicle. Now this is what I call extreme & violent thinking.  I took his throwing dirty laundry over my Kalachakra as a signal that his hatred and Colorado white conservatism runs much deeper. That is aside from a comment he made to me stating "a bunch of us at Pentagon would have gone to jail if Hillary made it ."

Just before the immigration ban I started having complications with things around the off-duty? USMC Colonel that have not happened for over a couple of years.  Strange enough, my perfect condition Driver's license holographic plastic was sticking out of my purse and peeled back enough to render it "illegal" and tampered with. My financial cards, that take 10-30 days for ordering and shipment to Hawaii state were missing long enough for me to have to re-order.

In Hawaii: There are no in-bank cards that can be issued in Hawaii. It is not the Mainland USA here. Documentation of all sorts is difficult or time consuming to arrive in Hawaii. Even overnight priority shipping does not exist. Overnight priority is more like 2 day shipping if it works at all.

Because I moved out of the situation with the Colonel, yesterday morning I woke to a mother nearby screaming at someone because an important document had a misspelling on it. Her Energy was so intense some friends called me, even texts me "are you ok? are you alive?"

I think I should just say, that be careful when coming to Waikiki, HI. There are still High level military men who can take action against any of us. Many of them frequent the TRUMP hotel restaurant. And the Security issues can be created by anyone of any nationality or American agenda. For instance, this Colonel frequents the Waikiki bars, seems to be unmarried, an definitely carries an ugly personality under his cool exterior.

I was born a dual National of Japan and the United States, and he found me at a time  May 2016 when he claims the Pentagon was in need to downsize in Japan. Though I personally also feel the USA should be pushed out of Japan (expedited) since they are going about change in a very rude fashion.

Japan:-USA MK Ultra Hawaii

The events of the past few months have put me in close quarters with an aryan US Marine Corps Colonel, who recently transplanted to Hawaii from the Pentagon. And, a practicing Krishna person who claims to be a victim of direct Rothschild gemstone programming in Oaklahoma, and approached me with hope to share knowledge of their family involvement in Aritchoke & Doormouse. I have to say it has been a grueling 3 months for me.
It's really difficult to try to exist for me here in Hawaii with the onslaught of MK program victims.
The Colonel, wouldn't communicate with me directly and instead took to hiding at least a handful of my personal belongings rather than returning them to me directly. Odd behavior for someone with a higher rank. The practicing Krishna is one of many who gaze onward at the Ford legacy. Both are mostly self motivated and not worldly motivated. Both have deeply insulted me as a woman of born Japanese nationality and descent. Both have admonished my Buddhist family history with repugnance of being equal to Satan worshipers. One deliberately placed dirty laundry over my Kalachakra (time Wheel or representation of OM in one glyph). The other again trying to force me into belonging to the Krishna cult and mindset (not the 1st time for ISKON in Hawaii).
I'm still lacking a safe home for myself as renting solo is extremely difficult, and is coupled with the plethora of Delta altar US military personnel and contractors, as well as the trained snipers and assassins that the USA MK Ultra Program has left on the Hawaiian islands. The islands seem to be a catch all for MK Ultra and related Mind Kontrol program victims whose families were promised some sanctuary for submitting their children (now encroaching on 50 years old). Most of the Mind Kontrol victims or participants I have met are approximately 50 years old, give or take a few years.

Some of them have definative altar changes and lack control and composure to stop and engage in a 2 way conversation. Others simply submerge themselves in their work at times, yet do not live normal family life and opt for partying daily on US military pay.

These programmed individuals do not claim responsibility for their actions. They do not show any remorse for their offensive actions. Rather, they make immediate attachment to the Rothschilds and the Military as excuse and refute their own individual freedoms as a form of denial. These people are very unlike those who are not programmed. Or, for those who were programmed and choose to make public through interviews the societal impact of the research that was conducted on them.

Regardless of any involvement my family may or may not have had. Most of the USA MK victims are quick to attach a "satanic" attribute to the program. They refuse to seperate the US military installation from the Rothschilds agenda.    They also remain defensive of their family members particularly if they feel that they have a "special"  or desirable European lineage that has potential to carry white Aryan (blonde hair, blue eyes, or light colored eyes & light hair as a dissapointing second). The use of India's Krishna religion is just one place where the tortured women reside, yet I am still uncertain if it is a choice or if it is the only religion that will give these women independent sanctuary and breeding partners (as it seems there are no marriages yet more "unfortunate children").

Seperate issue from the above and my living situation;- is that the USAF Stargate program is set to be a business and military industry standard acceptable conciousness (remote viewing & personal safety intuition) in 10-15 years.

Financial backup needed

Someone from my old spiritual practice center told me how they were making money to survive Hawaii. The card companies blocked UK, Georgia, Azerbaijon (on watch list) and then because I attempted to deposit to account, subsequently blocked my cards entirely.
So, now I'm stranded in Hawaii without a way to access my bank or make online purchase. Brilliant system not. It takes 10-40days for new cards to arrive in the unreliable post office here. I'm lucky if they deliver my own mail to my box.
Another day in Paradise as a stranded local being forced underground by the system. I swear they support sex trafficking here because the other option is death since the military men just want free sex and harass women like me relentlessly.
It's awful.

DHS? listening to Prior phone calls

Can hear DHS & man listening to recordings of my previous phone converstion with my friend/landlord who I live with. In Waikiki. They're on the sidewalk or nearby.
Super invasive and annoying.
Looks like a nightmare. 
Feels like they're going to kill me.

My Spiritual Perceptions

The spirit world is much like a tree in relation to our human physical reality. As Above, so below.
The spirit world and our  human conciousness can interact due to frequencies Hz.
One of the things that I have noticed with the  frequency of filming in the digital age is the number of dark matter spirits over light matter. Neither of these should be immediately perceived as having a negative attribute in our Physical Human reality. Even instances of attribute called demonic posession should not be considered "evil".
 My personal experiences since I have had some near death experiences have a different interpretation of these spirit, Djinn, entities. And, they and their interactions with us in Human physical reality should be treated more like a friendly match of grappling is perceived in a martial arts dojo.
Some, in Japanese culture consider the spiritual realm a place of training in and of itself.
In other conciouness traditions, these instances are considered to be something the soul chose to encounter in this lifetime or the human soul is still in a learning process.
Even through meditation methods or with use of Tibetan Tanka painting, some entities have come through as a reminder to me that I am still in this Physical Human reality. One of my most intense experiences is from a day where I attended meditation at my neighborhod Tibetan Buddhist monastery and I meditated on a near death experience I had and the perception/mindstate I achieved in that instance. I had a perception that is difficult to explain of a dark matter entity that knocked me down on the sidewalk, and I actually tried to prevent this entity from knocking me down on the ground;- while the very loud resonant voice said to me "REMEMBER YOU ARE HERE."
The importance is not that these spirits, Djinn, Greys are to be Capitalized on.
The importance is that there are the innerworkings of what keeps the spiritual world in balance, each soul going and arriving with those they still have resonance.

This idea of something that horrifies people, makes one run away, makes one feel complete bliss and being identified as a malevolent or beneficient spirit needs to disappate. The purity or intensity of such a frequency that triggers an acknowledgement within the human physical form is just that, resonating a particular portion of the limited interactions as perceived by the human body and brain;- whether or not in the most healthy or ideal receptive state. So as the human experience is highly reactive to such frequency;- the human cannot determine the intent of such a frequency wave.
Human body reactive in such a frequency wave can move the human to take measures that instead, give more definition to the frequency;- much more as acknowledgement that has no retreival in such a containment as a Bardo.

In cases of "spiritual haunting" the frequency wave form can be utilized against the masses as they have been preconditioned to some more immediate threat against their physical well being. They are reactive and will typically implement the preconceived survival reaction. Obviously, on any scale, this preconceived survival reaction has an omptimal crux, velocity, and strength. The least employed reaction is one of compassion, knowing personal strength, and allowance for conciousness or life or spirits in all forms to co-exist in and of their own capacity.

Spirits, Djinn, Greys -

Deconstruct the Modern American Kitchen Refrigerator

When, I mean when is Tiger  or Samsung  or GE going to design a refrigerator for people like me who need a hydroponic watering system to keep our fresh herbs and greens more live?

Vegilogi Specialty Products Needed;
3 types of singles refrigerators
  • Vegan Live foods fridge with Hydroponic water system (with or without lights) for herbs and fresher greens, sprouting drawer/shelf, filtered water, seperate potato & root crop storage, no dairy storage, prepared salad pull out tray like a mini salad bar, and wine rack.  
i believe the following 2 would sell if designed properly;- 
  • Beer & Power/Protein/Granola bar fridge - maybe hold 1-2 bottles of wine
  • 2x Pizza boxes refrigerator or marinade ribs compartment with Beer & Powerbar storage with slush, ice & water dispenser, freezer bottle bar for vodka.
 ______________________________________________________________________
Long gone are the days of the American frontier Iceblock cellar dug into the earth and stocked with
large natural icecubes that slowly melt underground through the summer months. The modern refrigerator and it's glorified  ice box companion has staked it's way throughout North America, in nearly every home x2 or x3.

 I visited my friends over the years, and made note of the refrigerators, size, number, and stock. Most of them are single. Only one or two people living at the residence. Most of them have at least 2 refrigerators (fridge/freezer combo) or one Fridge and 1 Freezer.  From the East Coast to Hawaii - The average healthier, astute, busy profesional single man over 30yrs. old generally keeps beer in the fridge, with granola bars or power/protein bars- low maintenance, that's it & eats out. By 40's - Some singles, who do eat in and make mixed drinks & coffee at home keep gallon juices, milk or creamer, leftover pizza, and sometimes bacon.
Those in 20's or 1-2 a ploace with men who train/ hit the gym regularly seem to keep a more rounded and healthier diet than their restraunt going elders-  includes large containers of perishing premix salad & untouched fruits and grillable paleo food and BEER. Maybe this is what the men in their 30's figure out that those in their 20's haven't. Find a way to eat the grillables at a friend or neighbor's cause they are single anyway.

They seemed unlike me, at times sharing 1 kitchen with 4-5 people where we divided the refrigerator into personal sections like specialty sections of a supermarket cooler.  Or, in my Upstate NY vegan days- cooking for 3-20 people for potlucks, or so everyone could share the kitchen to potluck. Due to the lack of space, fresh veggies and refrigeration items were usually purchased the day of, or the night before cooking or salad building needed to happen. That way we would seek out our best veggie source and hit up the local farmers market asap as a first choice for ingredients. Any veggies and fresh herbs that could be kept out, went in a partially filled & sturdy glass of water close to a window.


The problem of personal Home kitchens is a huge environmental, health, and  one in most American homes. I no longer believe every home needs a fridge or 2 just to keep beer and sugary drinks, or a full kitchen for that matter.
  • Overuse of clean water to wash dishes & get really clean (no crud)
  • Waste of Food/ food animals due to undesirable cooked meals 
  • Continuous energy utilities use (appx $80/mo) in Hawaii to run refrigerator/freezer alone
  • Complex cooking appliances to aid cooking - cooking isn't basic anymore
    • use of mined metals increased
  • Unsanitary homes - accumulation of mold on used dishes & in refrigerators 
    • Contaminated foods stored in refrigerator affects all foods
    • results in wasted pots, pans, appliances (fridge)
    • metals are not meant to be like toilet paper
  • Fat Squirrel syndrome; - Unnecessary stockpiling & consumption of food 
    • it's not winter all year (in most places) 
    • no need to hibernate
  • Storage of high sugar & fatty sauces
    • Medical costs due to poor diets
    • Use of pharmeceuticals

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.

Another death threat --ugh

They are saying that even African-Americans are planning to kill Japanese because they feel it would benefit Korea.
I have the send that whether these are people from within DOD or outsiders who do illegal business with Korean or Vietnamese  gangs;- that it is a death threat that has been directed towards me over the past 2.5weeks since the Trump win especially.

Viewpoint: Philadelphia to Hawaii piano instruction

repost: Cross-Cultural- Understanding from Piano_Noir  
First published Dec. 28, 2012

Aloha...is from a land of Hawaiian Ukulele music.  Ukelele music is popular among the local Hawaiian families and is frequently used at weddings and celebrations. Aloha land is 4920 miles away from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and the East Coast of the United States where traditional Christian weddings are plentiful. Philadelphia, PA where Rachmaninoff hisself conducted the Philadelphia Orchestra, where the legendary piano instructors Gary Graffman & the Sokoloffs reigned for over 50 years as the best piano instructors on the planet through the 2000 millenium. Though I was adventurous as a prior student of a Hungarian piano instructor who was a collegue of Zoltan Kodaly where local folk music was embraced, the Hawaiian attitude is anything except harsh.

I was in a condusive traditional Classical piano environment and learned piano in a very strong Christian based community. One where every church has at least one grand piano, if not two or more grand pianos and electric organ or common pipe organ. I grew up with the general knowledge that Bach and many of the great keyboard Composers were supported by the Church and wrote sacred as well as secular music, with a pethora of churches and institutions where I could perform on a variety of period instruments frequently.  In diminished comparison, Hawaii barely houses an electric keyboard at any church, let alone 1 studio upright or pipe organ.

In the current 21st century economy many Hawaii churches have "gotten rid of" their keyboard instruments due to maintenance costs and vandalism from an obtrusive population. Before moving to Hawaii, I took my east coast musical environment for granted and wished the general population was understanding of my Japanese heritage. However, most of the Christian community included everyone in the USA who has traditionally hated the Japanese;- including newly formed Korean specific churches. So I continually befell physical attacks, verbal criticism, and blatant discrimination on the East coast for most of my 30 some years of life.

So, I move to Hawaii and am inundated with a severe local attitude that is against piano.  They say I have  "too high makamaka"  think I'm better than them. I worked at piano because I loved it and my talent put me through college with a scholarship.

The other day, a local parent mentioned to me that his child was learning a popular "Traditional Christian wedding piece" on their keyboard on her own. This is the first time that I have gotten to explain that these are normal pieces, that many children on the mainland learn to play at their family weddings. It's difficult for me to believe that the culture in Hawaii is so vastly different from the East Coast USA that these things are so "foreign" to local Hawaii. Especially since I see the religious rosary with crosses dangling from many rear view mirrors, and other Christian car markings. Just as most mainland people could not explain the differences and nuances of Hawaiian musical performances because they don't know the Hawaiian traditional song repertoire;- most Hawaiian Islander natives could not begin to explain the subtleties of any Classical piano repertoire performance.
