Well when we were warned by former members of the cult that they were moving their operation to Kauai, with some background on what they are about, we were able to keep eyes on them, since they had to quarantine for 14 days. We knew where they were staying and also made aware that they live stream their activities for several hours per day.

Because the community was concerned, our local law enforcement had eyes on them, and when they moved to an ocean front home in a predominantly Hawaiian neighborhood, and their leader live streamed that she was "Pele" a cultural goddess in Hawaii, many local Hawaiians took offense.

So, the locals came out in force, in peaceful protest, while the leader screamed drunkenly out the window at the locals, calling them "whores" and "bitches" as the locals sang songs in Hawaiian and recited ancient chants about Pele on the beach, held signs "Cult not wanted here" along the road fronting their vacation rental house and so on. All day... all night... all day again... all night again...

Our Kauai mayor came went to the house to chat with the members of the group and explained why co-opting the the goddess figure of cultural legend and hula, creator of fire and volcano, was offensive to the locals, who identify strongly with the culture.

He offered them a police escort to the airport, should they choose to leave. He leveled with them by saying they would not be welcome anywhere on the island, the same exact thing would happen.

Then the mayor came out to address the protesters with a warning to keep it peaceful, don't break laws, and basically de-escalated the situation.

Imagine the group of cult members in the house, surrounded by 100 angry Hawaiians chanting, holding signs, and shouting "go home" and so on...

The next morning, the cult members took our mayor up on the police escort to the airport. They headed to Maui... Upon arrival at the airport on Maui, they were not allowed to leave the airport, because they had not booked approved accommodations for the 14 day quarantine, so the local Visitor Aloha Society of Hawaii found them them air fare back to the mainland. End of story.

Here is a 13 minute video of our mayor talking to the group of protestors, after our police department had to close the road, to keep the number of protestors to under 100. Our mayor has the total respect from our residents, so we do as he asks.

@Julie808 Thanks for taking the time to help me understand. The Mayor ROCKS! I can see why people elected him!

Yep, it's working to keep covid out too! We have a moat around us, and anyone crossing in gets quarantined.

@Julie808 Wish we had something like that. This summer we were swamped with tourists. Surprisingly, there was only one new case.

Unfortunately, I tuned in, but it was a different episode playing, though others saw it earlier on different islands. Oh well. I'm sure I'll find it somewhere.

@Julie808 Good luck with finding it somewhere Usually if I find out ahead of time that he is going to have an interesting segment on his show, I'll get somebody to record it for me.

@GoodMan
I think there is some vacant property down in Jonestown Guayana Esequiba, might suit them.
