"If you have any idols in your home, we're gonna burn 'em! If you have any witchcraft items in your home, we're gonna burn 'em!" -- Cindy Jacobs, faculty member, International Transformation Network

It's like something out of the Spanish Inquisition or from the depths of the European Medieval period, mysteriously transported to sunny Hawaii of 2010, at the height of a hotly fought campaign for governor no less. As the Associated Press reported yesterday, on a scandal roiling the Hawaii gubernatorial campaign, Republican candidate for governor James "Duke" Aiona is lashing out at the campaign of his Democratic rival Neal Abercrombie for allegedly promoting a video I've compiled which begins with a clip of Aiona, in July 2008, enthusiastically stating that he was a member of Transformation Hawai'i, which is a local chapter of the International Transformation Network.

Introduction: I first started covering the story of Lt. Governor James "Duke" Aiona and the International Transformation Network/Transformation Hawai'i last April, 2010, in a two part series, Transforming Hawaii http://www.talk2action.org/story/2010/4/17/112159/323 , part two http://www.talk2action.org/story/2010/4/17/112351/811 .> In late April and early May 2010 I made two radio appearances on 1080 AM in Hawaii, on the Carroll Cox Show to talk about Aiona and the ITN/Transformation Hawai'i. Shortly after the May 2nd show, Carroll Cox filed a state ethics charge against Duke Aiona for accepting over $7,000 for a personal trip Aiona and his wife made in late 2006 to Ed Silvoso's 16th International Institute on Nation Transformation in Mar del Plata, Argentina, where Aiona was filmed praying with the 1st Lady of Uganda Janet Museveni. The story, below, continues my coverage of this issue.

I will again be appearing on the Carroll Cox Show, Sunday October 24, at 8-9AM HST on 1080 AM. Free podcasts of the show will afterward be available at the Carroll Cox Show website podcast page http://carrollcox.com/podcastlist.htm - Bruce Wilson
