The #Takanawa #Catholic #Church just called the police on me. The police were very nice and understanding and let me go after a brief talk.
I have been seeking #Justice after being assaulted by the guards at Hope Services ( a catholic charity), in #Kona #Hawaii . Several other #homeless people had confided in me that they were being abused, but did not dare speak out, for fear of further violence. Also, they depend upon the charity for food.
I approached the catholic leaders politely in Kona, and they did not take responsibility. Then I moved to #Tokyo seeking political asylum.
I approached Mr. Takaii, a priest at the #Meguro Catholic Church, and asked for answers concerning the abuse. Mr. Takaii told me that he did not speak any English, though we had been talking in English for a few days, and he speaks English fluently.
After persistently and politely raising questions with the Takanawa church, I kept being stonewalled. I still have questions about why they cannot feed me 3 meals a day, turning me away hungry, though they just held a fundraiser for #hungry people in the Philippines. The priest, Mr. Noguchi harshly told me to go back to America.
Just now, I returned to Takanawa church from the police station, and Mr. Noguchi handed me a letter from Mr. Wataru Suematsu, the parish leader, banning me from church, and threatening police action.
I intend to get justice for me, and for other people the Catholic Church continues to abuse.
The Catholic Church is doing something shady with the money, as it is a lavishly constructed church, with a big attendance on weekends, and collects a lot of money.
The Catholic Church is an organization by and for, old white men. They will always elect an old white man as #pope ( now available in American flavor ). A 39 year old Japanese woman will never be pope.
The organization was funded by loot from #colonial #genocide, which it continues to hold on to, and continue as a big mind-manipulating business. Even as pope after pope apologizes for the atrocities of the church, the abuses continue.
Pope Leo has called for #peace though he has not yet asked his followers to resign from the #military which would be a real follow through.
People of the world, from countries that the church looted and impoverished, are rising up and demanding #reparations
There’s so much blood on the hands of the church, that the pope’s crocodile tears are not enough to wash them away. Empty words are not enough. People demand to be made whole.
Please boost this message, to hold the church accountable.

Hilo International PHTO → Ellison Onizuka Kona International PHKO
While I'm still figuring out where my next multi-leg journey will take me, I thought: why not see if the Cessna 172 can fly over Mauna Kea? Its service ceiling is 14,000 ft, and Mauna Kea stands at 13,803 ft.
So, I packed some oxygen and took off. After a wide circle around the volcano and the slowest climb of all time (100–200 ft/min), the altimeter maxed out at 15,000 ft, leaving me with a comfortable margin over the summit.

Here's what to know as the scope of damage from #Hawaii's #floods becomes clearer
By AUDREY McAVOY and GENE JOHNSON
March 23, 2026 at 3:18 pm PDTHONOLULU — "The worst #flooding to hit Hawaii in two decades swept homes off their foundations, floated cars out of driveways and left floors, walls and counters covered in thick, reddish volcanic mud.
"Crews continued to assess the destruction Monday, but authorities said hundreds of homes had been damaged, along with some schools and a hospital.
"No deaths have been reported, but more than 230 people had to be rescued. Rain continued to the southeastern part of the state and a section of the #BigIsland was under a #FlashFlood warning.
"Gov. Josh Green said the cost of the storm could top $1 billion, including damage to airports, schools, roads, homes and a Maui hospital in Kula. He called it the state’s most serious since flooding since 2004, when floods in Manoa inundated homes and a University of Hawaii library.
"On Oahu's North Shore, famed for big wave surfing, the waters rose quickly after midnight Friday as heavy rains fell on soil already saturated by downpours from a winter storm a week earlier. Raging waters lifted homes and cars. The storm prompted evaluation orders for 5,500 people north of Honolulu — though they were later lifted — and more than 230 people were rescued from the rising waters.
"Some residents fled on surfboards as water reached waist or chest high.
"Farms around the state reported more than $9.4 million worth of damage as of Monday, according to a survey conducted by Agriculture Stewardship Hawaii, the Hawaii Farm Bureau and other organizations. Oahu farmers reported more than $2.7 million in crop damage.
Winter storm systems brought severe deluges"Officials blamed some of the devastation on the sheer amount of rain that fell in a short amount of time.
"Parts of Oahu received 8 to 12 inches (20 to 30 centimeters), the National Weather Service said. That was on top of another recent storm that had dumped vast amounts days earlier. Kaala, the island’s highest peak, got nearly 16 inches (40 centimeters) late last week, on top of 26.6 inches (67.6 centimeters) between March 10 and 16.
"Winter storm systems known as '#Kona lows,' which feature southerly or southwesterly winds that bring in moisture-laden air, have been responsible for the deluges in the past two weeks. The intensity and frequency of heavy rains in Hawaii have increased amid human-caused #GlobalWarming, experts say.
"The worst of the storms appeared to be over by Sunday afternoon."

#Hawaii's #KonaStorm triggers #flooding, 100-mph #winds and summit snow
An emergency declaration was issued as a prolonged #kona storm is bringing dangerous flooding, waterspouts, high winds over 100 mph and 1-2 feet of snow to the summits.
By Emilee Speck, Mar 11, 2026
Excerpt: "Storms are producing intense downpours capable of triggering localized flooding, especially in upslope areas. Heavier rainfall is expected over #Kauai and #Oahu and continuing into the weekend.
" 'This deluge of heavy rain will persist for most of the Hawaiian Islands on Saturday, exacerbating any ongoing localized flooding,' Glenny said.
"As more rain falls, life-threatening flash flooding, mudslides and other debris flows are possible."
