Just to wrap up this saga, for anyone who is interested, the cult has left the island, under police escort and should be back on the mainland by now.

Here is an article written after they left, by a blogger who has been following the story from before they got here: [gurumag.com]

It was sure the biggest news on our little island over the weekend.

Local concern about this cult spread through social media like wildfire this weekend after the "mom" declared in a live video that she was Pele, goddess of fire and volcano. That declaration didn't sit well with the Hawaiian cultural practitioners in the area surrounding the vacation home in Ha'ena where they were renting.

So, the local culture protectors came out in force, and encircled the home along the road and on the beach on Friday, chanting, holding signs in a peaceful, but loud and annoying way. (Not saying this was right, but it's a natural reaction to being provoked by the leader calling the Hawaiian people "whores" and bitches.)

The protestors also made 3 small fires on the beach, taunting the woman claiming to be Pele, goddess of fire. The fire department came and put it out. Police were watching the event 24/7, making sure everyone was within the law, social distancing and wearing masks.

That continued the next day, so then Saturday evening our mayor drove up to talk with the leaders of the cult at the house - and the protestors still gathered outside. He calmly explained to the cult members how they were insulting the Hawaiian culture by their claims and offered them a police escort from the house to the airport (an hour away) and they were said to be considering it.

Overnight, someone broke some windows in the house and their car. It's unclear if the windows were broken by the protestors or the cult members themselves.

This morning, Sunday, they did in fact leave their ocean front rental house and were escorted by police to the airport. 3 boarded a plane ("Mother god" and 2 of her "adams" as she calls them.) The rest went to the hotel where newly arrived members were still quarantining, and apparently they all packed up and are currently at the Kauai airport, destination after Honolulu airport unknown.

What is known about the first 3 that left is that they are on Maui and will be boarding a plane tonight for San Francisco -- so I imagine that these others will be on that same flight or a similar flight to San Francisco.

It's unknown who paid for all the flights, as our government has a program that finds cheap or free ways to get quarantine breakers back to the mainland, so I imagine that was the case with this group, even though it's unclear if they broke quarantine or not.

I'm sure more information will be all over our local news when we know for sure where they ended up, back in Colorado we presume, at the end of their travels.

Wow - what a crazy group - with their live streams of the "Mother God" screaming and swearing. The whole saga was quite entertaining for us watching the events live as they unfolded.

I didn't read the whole article because it was to long and I am to lazy to take the time, since I am working on something else. But the video with the cat should be enough to throw her in jail for animal abuse.

So long as they don't start having kook kar karavans, you are probably pretty safe!

Strangely, if the Catholics were to open a new church on your island there wouldn't be nearly the uproar. There should be, but in most cases we accept the cults that have been around for more than 100 years. Strange.

I’m sorry your paradise has been invaded—very troubling. My ex-father-in-law lost his parents at Jonestown. Cults suck.

Thanks very much for sharing. They look pretty dodge...

The human mind is an amazing thing! It is capable of exploring outer space, splitting atoms, creating artificial human organs and so many wonderful things. But it is also prone to murder, con men and women, believing in the preposterous religions and cults created by these con artists.
I have said this on Facebook and maybe here as well. I think it is time to start evolution over again. We are slipping backwards almost as fast as we move forward as a species. An asteroid hit, or a super microbe could wipe us out at any minute. Global temperature change may do it over the long term, but it would be slow and torturous, and the evil ones will stand a better chance of survival. The Earth and the Universe are not stagnant, they go though constant changes over the eons, some much more rapid than others. I would prefer something dramatic and quick over slow and painful.
Watching Trump, his cult followers and his congressional flunky’s, tear away at our democratic system is definitely slow and painful. I hold out hope for November, but I fear the crazies have been left out of the bag and we may not like the results regardless of who wins the election (if it actually takes place). Trump wants to be Putin and other dictators, and by creating enough chaos, he can use their tactics (military and homeland security forces) to declare Marshal Law and start to take over state and local governments, to be replaced by his chosen delegates. It is really a small step, and has already been done on small scale in certain states. I am not sure the Democrats have the support of large portions of the rank and file military, nor the police forces of many cities and states.
I know I deviated from the original topic, but I think they are related. Keep us posted on what they do to this invasion of your island and how things work out.

Sometimes it seems we never left the 60's.

Maybe they'll invite Trumpy over for Kool-aid, and chocolate cake?

A scam to be sure. Religions are good for that. Longest running scam in history.

That is a really special kind of crazy!

There are shit tons of private militia groups out there. I’m a huge fan of the show Survivor and one of my favorite players, Joe Anglim has posts on Instagram of him going through this training that involved knives at his throat. He posts about being ready for the enemy that will take our freedoms. It’s not cool.

Another cult. Yay.

Trump will probably claim they are "good people".

Bizarre indeed

Kauai is a beautiful island, I sure hope these nut jobs are told to leave!

Keep an eye open on this as it looks like rubbish to me. It may even be Trump approved.
