Open Letter to Governor Abercrombie

Dear Governor Neil Abercrombie:

For about 15 years County of Maui and State of Hawai'i have knowingly allowed, aided and abetted a lucrative, harmful and violent criminal enterprise to flourish in Kahului and online. The county has gone so far as to allow the criminals to use violence against me to stop my lawful demonstrations that expose the scams. There is now an extra-judicial ban on my lawful demonstrations, a ban enforced by potentially-lethal violence and threats of murder. Details are provided in previous posts on this blog and my blog www.suemauityrants.blogspot.com.

The motive of the governments is clearly financial. As long as the business and its criminal owners pay their taxes, those who have sworn to uphold the law will look the other way. They are, in essence, running a protection racket for the criminal enterprise.

It is dangerous and illegal to claim to have OTC cures for HIV/AIDS, advanced cancers, heart disease and whatever else might ail you; and to claim to have safe and effective substitutes for "dangerous and deadly" vaccines while urging people not to get their children vaccinated. But this business, Alive and Well Health Emporium, does these things every day with impunity. The owners have no credentials in any health-related field, but they've been getting rich marketing their fraudulent miracle cures in hour-long radio infomercials for a decade and a half.

People assume that if the government allows such claims they must be true. The state's stubborn refusal to investigate my complaints makes it complicit and possibly liable for harm done to victims of the frauds.

The buck stops with the Governor. If you don't instruct the Department of Health to do its job (see HRS 328-3 and 328-6), you will be personally complicit in the ongoing swindles, and you will show that the state's utter disregard for consumer rights and the rule of law, so prominent during the Lingle years, continues as unwritten policy.

Please do the right thing and put a stop to this despicable racket.

Sincerely,

Kurt Butler
