True, joining a Yoga cult is not like joining ISIS. But what guarantees are there Yoga cults did not resort to the same degree had they grown as big? Both are fanatically anti-everything. The only difference is in proportion, but the essence is the same.

New Zealanders take note:

There has already been an infamous example of
a yoga cult in Australia in which children were abused - t

The Hamilton-Byrne cult, aka 'The Family'.

Family devotees who were credentialed as physicians, lawyers and social workerscolluded.

Other yoga groups that looked wonderful -- at first.

Rajneesh -- offered something for everybody.

(His devotees now call him Osho. Many Osho sannyasins are involved with the club scene in Ibiza and the trance dance scene in Goa, India.

Ibiza Unplugged, July 1, 2006

It was these hippy parties that gave Ibiza its reputation. ...... Alfredo's record collection was so basic and his DJ skills so poor that he was only allowed the 4am slot, playing to a handful of bedraggled refugees who couldn't afford Privilege's prices.

Then, by a stroke of luck, the strange Bhagwan Rajneesh cult operating in Sant Joan was broken up by the US government for tax evasion. The cult used 3,4-methylenedioxy methamphetamine, or MDMA, in its brainwashing rituals and once its founder had been jailed bemused cultists wandered the island with pockets full of the stuff. It took about five minutes for clubbers and cultists to meet, and before long Alfredo was playing to packed houses of joyous e-munching dancers who loved his mix of obscure US house music, old disco, Prince tracks and even reggae 12-inches. From there, the tentacles of what came to be known as acid house spread around the world and Ibiza became the good time grail for thousands of young Europeans keen to wave bottles of water and gurn like Worzel Gummidge.

This is the latest report--still whitewashing what has really happened-

[www.hawaiinewsnow.com]

Someone is paying for the truth to be kept out of the news- however read the comments below--people are asking the right questions and I think we should help them out. If you are in or near the Ala Moana Bowl- a celebration of life and paddle out will be held in Shim’s honor on January 23 at Ala Moana Bowls, one of his favorite surf spots. Please show up and do your part to speak the TRUTH.

All I can say is, a kind loving FATHER and all around nice guy is dead and a piece of shit like Butler is allowed to live his life in luxury and decadence on the backs of his slaves and the unwitting fools who gladly give their $$...this is not acceptable!

Show everyone this link - pass it around- Rama telling it like it is:
(Read the 21 comments under the article about this tragedy.)

Not necessary to be a FB member to read this post!

But if you are so inclined- pls add your comments and urge everyone to question what has happened.

I have posted on various site, and my comments were removed. Perhaps yours will stick.

I am more optimistic. Perhaps your comments were removed because they sounded too litigious for the comments section.

There is an investigation going on and a lawsuit hopefully forming. This story is a big deal and I think the authorities are just being careful. It takes time to determine if it was due to gross or criminal negligence or a tragic accident. At this point, the cult is just a bizarre angle to the typical person. It takes time to process.

From the comments under the Hawaii News Now article a lot of people want to know what happened and WHO was the driver. The family also needs time to grieve and recover before pursuing any litigation. They are fundraising for medical bills. They may also need to crowd fund for legal fees. They definitely don't want the father's death to be in vain and seem determined to promote diving safety.

Being rich does not always guarantee getting off 'scot-free'. There are plenty examples of this. The driver killed a popular and beloved man. The family and community in Kailua have a lot of power to put pressure on the authorities.

It's still too soon to determine if it is a cover up yet, but things seem to be going "Hawaiian time"(slowly). If the driver or a passenger jumped the boat and swam to shore, or if there are contradictory stories, it makes the situation more complicated and facts need to be sorted. The police also need to find and interview all the witnesses and if one fled to New Zealand, it will take more time.

Someone could contact the authorities below to possibly get information that the media is not producing. As a citizen journalist/blogger you could also contact the police directly. They may say no, but it is worth trying.

If you do go to the memorial, it is a good opportunity to talk to witnesses and get information. If you know for certain that the boat was driven by a cult member, that information can be shared with the proper authorities and the family.

Kailua Boat Death Tied to Hare Krishna Cult?

FR: The tragic death of a beloved Kailua man (Sri Shim, 59) and the severe injuries caused to his stepson (Trey Albrecht, 25) have Kailua residents in an uproar. People are asking about the unidentified operator of a boat that was the apparent cause of the death and injuries. Rumors abound that the operator is a follower of cult leader and Lanikai resident, Chris Butler….

the TV program 60 minutes has been contacted by multiple Kailuans and the local gossip has heated up on this Facebook page, My Kailua….

A similar boat videoed by cult members while operating at a high speed and close to the Lanikai shore and swimmers….

read … Cult Boat?

Corboy note: In the Hawaii Free Press article, "Cult Boat" is a live URL
to Flashlight's blog. Go to the article for the live link.

Unfortunately, it is difficult at this time to get a lot of information due to the law.

Quote

Albrecht and his sisters, Meleana and Alyson Shim, and Lauren Kawahakui, declined to discuss the specifics of the incident in light of an ongoing investigation.

Department of Land and Natural Resources
By law, all recreational boating accident reports (see link at bottom of this page) have to be filed by the operator, and in case of operator incapacity, the owner of each and every pleasure craft involved in a marine casualty. For recreational vessels, the statute, HRS Section 200-29 and Hawaii Administrative Rules, Section 13-242-5 makes the Boating Accident Report and accompanying investigations confidential and not public record for use in litigation.

Reporting Boat Accidents

Ultimately, the information regarding the driver will have to be released. However, if you are in the Lanikai/Kailua area it may be possible to find and interview witnesses. I wonder if the Hawaii Free Press is pursuing the story beyond this initial report?

The HFP story is copyrighted by Hawaii News Now. Anyone in touch with them?

It still is fishy, and the smell is reeking with political clout:

EXCLUSIVE: Boat operator in fatal Kailua boating accident known for speeding
Posted: Jan 21, 2016 2:34 AM EST

By Rick Daysog

KAILUA, OAHU (HawaiiNewsNow) -
Joe "Gully Boy" Wilson and his fishing crew were heading toward Rabbit Island in their boat when a 24-foot zodiac zipped past them heading out into the ocean. It whizzed by a few minutes later heading back toward Kailua Beach.

"They was trottling. They was wide open. White streak behind the boat. The boat was flying," Wilson said in his slight pidgin accent.

"They know we're in the water. They're flying past us guys ... It's just no respect. No aloha for sure."

That was 11 days ago and just minutes before same boat struck and killed 59-year-old Sri Shim, just 200 yards off of Lanikai Point.

Other witnesses also said the boat was speeding about the time it struck Shim and his hanai son Trey Albrecht, who were diving. Albrecht suffered deep cuts to his arm and bruises to his body.

Siddha Bellord on Facebook. Why are there very few posts on Siddha’s account until just after the fatal boating accident?

My article - About Siddha Bellord

Bookmark this article on my blog and I will attempt to update it as new information becomes available.

Flash

Somehow, I feel sorry for the Bellord kids, especially the young Siddha. The sad fact is, had it not been for the creepy parents these kids would have had great careers. Their potentials are enormous. He is in his forty’s now, if indeed he was the operator of the inflatable that killed and injured the Lanikai divers that may be the end of his acting career.

Now is the wrongest time to end a movie career. The movie world is one of few industries in the midst of business uncertainties enjoying a golden age. Let’s face it, he and his sisters have the looks and talents film producers can make heydays. They are Hollywood materials. Instead, their parents have wasted their future.

The inflatable appropriately represents Chris Butler’s inflated ego, trying to lord over the water he does not own, but he may think otherwise – because everything belongs to the god Krishna, as his proxy, he could lay claim on practically everything. The inflatable carries that mindset, egomania terrorizing the local beach-goers perhaps the girls wear too skimpy bikinis or divers trap and kill fish; both are against the rules of Krsna Hawaii. Or worse, maybe, since the guru lives in the area, the land and water are consecrated. No sex on the beach, let alone gay men allowed kissing each other.

Whatever the thinking is, all inflatables when punctured, sink. I wish they aboard abandon the ship (er, inflatable) and swim ashore to freedom. If they hold on to their egos, they sink like stones with it.

Siddha Bellord, your step-father has failed you. Sorry, he is not a godman, but a pathetic misanthropist who entraps the weak-minded. When all this is over, seek professional help, gear up and show your reels to commercial movie producers. You and your sisters have so much to give. Choose life.

Wonderful post dharmabum. You bring up a lot of insights.

In the interview with one of the witnesses to the death-by-inflated-boat, it was mentioned that the driver was known and they had complained to him before.

The driver once broke their fishing lines and just blew them off. The Lanikai community does not understand that the cult is against fishing and the killing of animals for food. They are Veggie Fascists and surely felt like heroes for liberating the fish.

If you think you are the inflated-chosen-ones of "g0d's Best Friend" (Chris Butler), you can justify anything. It appears that the alleged boat and driver resides with Chris Butler.

It is clear that a lot of people know exactly who drove the boat that killed Shri and seriously injured his step son, even if the media is too chicken shit to report it.

To get inside the mind of the alleged driver and the cult mentality, all you need to do is watch their movies and follow Flash's blog. There are sick messages in the uber violent movie work of the Ninjai Gang's Karma Kula and Little Ninjai series - both of which have been in the works for a decade without finishing and with no plot resolution. It pictures a pseudo-oriental, quasi-Tarentino world where the protagonist is continually hunted by "demons" and whose sole raison d'être is to kill them mercilessly. Siddha Bellord's character is a "Lord of Death" and dispenser of karma in these stories.

Looks like the future Jagad Guru contender just might have blood on his hands. How's that for karma Mr. Butler?

The more the cult tries to cover this up, the more they will get exposed only if witnesses and good people come forward and keep the story alive. If nothing else, for justice and the honor of Shri Shim.

Interesting to note the etymology of Shri Shim's name. Essentially it is a wedge of light that elevates. Shri is ironically a Sanscrit name meaning 'light, radiance'. Shim is a thin strip of wood used to raise a level. Shim is also the family name of several great Korean and Chinese clans. His passing will not be in vain.

Is there any proof so far that Siddha Bellord was the driver of this boat ?

I am a little confuse about this story ....Is this all speculations ?

Could it be someone that as nothing to do with the cult ?

And who is behind the SMASHBUTLER web site ?
