I was driving by one day heading to the beach, and i got a flat tire right in front of this village. A very nice man came and helped me change the tire. They are very good people. And I really appreciate them. I only had $20 on me to give him, and he happily accepted it. I plan to go back and donate when I can.

(fact: mankind is not hybrid kind) to keep stating that there was an evolution, then we ain´t humans, we aint then mankind, we are then hybrids. Are you a hybrid? Lie: holidays (xmas, Halloween, new year eve and so on) (fact: PAGAN HOLIDAYS, to praise BAAL, the god of this world) lie: U.F.Os (fact: they are demons/evil spirits in high places, against whom we fight daily = spiritual warfare) lie: rules and laws rule the world (fact: signs and symbols of masonry do) lie: believe in being educated (fact: found daily living with the lack of knowledge) lie: religions are ways to heaven (fact: JESUS CHRIST is only way to heaven. Religions, no matter its name = masonic garbage) lie: our dead loved ones stay around to “ghost” (fact: hunting and ghosting is job of demons, not of humans. We, humans, come from GOD and return back to HIM and all the stories of having been seen a ghost - terrifying, scary, dark, cold - again no job of analysing been done here by you- right?) Lie: Humans have no immune system and we need vaccines as these save lives (fact: humans HAVE IMMUNE SYSTEM and vaccines are created for one or two purpose: to kill or to cripple. If you took all their poison shots then later in life comes all kinds of medical diagnoses = vaccines crippled you - remember that) lie: there is no GOD (fact: There is GOD, who redeems sinners and created us directly from the dust of the earth: Psalms 139:14 (KJV) I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.) to keep claiming that there is no GOD and we aint created directly from the dust of the earth, we soon run out logic, regardless to we place “evolution” in our claims or not and our dead, whats happening to them as they sleep in their graves? - they decay away, becoming the dust form which they were taken, if it ain`t so then we are simply reality deniers. lie: 911 was terror attack (fact: 911 was an inside job, meaning the work of your loved government) lie: TV watching is of use (fact: television (TV) = tell a lie vision, a weapon for our minds, keeping it under MK ULTRA) half lie/half truth: earth is a stage where everyone plays rolls (fact: earth is stage, a freemasonry checkerboard, where both side, black and white are masons and humans both in politics and regular souls = the naive public gets daily played) lie: children are government to raise (fact: children are parents to raise, it takes 2 to make them, it takes 2 to raise them). Lie: we live already in the matrix (fact: we live since birth in BABYLON which is to become “matrix” as Man - us, must merge with machine aka take the mark of the beast and then matrix aka false reality becomes to be 100%) lie: humans are not intelligent enough (fact: it is forgotten fact, we all are intelligent, many have suffered the illness from this world, being indoctrinated by masons, cause who give us the school system which we have? masons did, because they need slaves). Lie: love is low standard and = lust (fact love is high standard as love means> John 15:13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. Lie> do what thy wilt there is no body who has the right to judge you (fact> GOD SHALL JUDGE YOU AFTER YOU HAVE DEPARTED ON EARTH and Christians are also called to give out righteous judgment, therefore repent * born again * go and sin no more) lie: slavery is over (fact: slavery was never over, it just changes a little as we are no longer buy`d or sold, still prepared through school systems for our future slavery, succumb to our slave lives based on our free will) lie: BIBLE is man written and a fairytale (fact: BIBLE is written by GOD, through man, bible is not fairytale. BIBLE IS: BASIC INFORMATION/instruction BEFORE LEAVING EARTH = BIBLE. A book - yes, book which we all need as it is only one filled with information and instructions we all need for life on earth. Lie: Miss beauty contests around the world is about beauty of FEMALES (fact: these contests are about beauty of MALES IN DRAG) lie: Medical “virus” known as COVID 19 (facts: real VIRUSES are in Hollywood and kept secret: - THE TTM virus = being tare, trans, mason. Lie: There is no truth, no right nor wrong and all is allowed as long as you are happy. (fact: truth is easy to find, search: BIBLE + FREEMASONRY and expose masons in masonry). 28 lies, should i go on?

​@@SirRyan420 on a serious note most of that aid doesn't leave the US cause it's used to refurbish and replace older military hardware. But a ground war against Russia would be way more expensive if it had to be payed with American lives. I'm all for cutting government inefficiency but Ukraine isn't it. Using around 1% of the total federal budget to completely shut down Russia a historic adversary seems like a good opportunity. It wasn't that long ago Russians were paying bounties on killing American troops in Afghanistan. I do hope that Hawaii can find a solution to homelessness. But honestly I'm not even sure that should be under the federal government. Maybe enacting government housing solutions like they use in Singapore.

I found one of your videos randomly a while ago and I just have to say, you are seriously doing more for the world than 99% of people. I have learned so much about all kinds of different communities from your work. Knowledge is half the battle and making a real difference to help is reliant on that. As a Japanese American, I feel for native Hawaiians as my siblings. We share many ties and I truly feel that my community would not have been able to thrive without Hawaiians. My great grandmother was born in Honolulu and while I may not know anyone from the island now, their struggles and triumphs are important to me. Everyone try and find a local Hawaiian joint and grab some spam musubi, ya hear!

[@skittlesngummies]

This was pretty wholesome, that guy makes such a valid point about their community being safe and respectful for children, they may not have the nicest things or the most comfortable stuff but they do look happy. Greed makes people miserable.

[@ArtisticAngelLucas]

Im so glad your giving more awareness to this as a local living in Hawaii Oahu! It’s so sad to see so many without homes, especially native Hawaiians considering it’s their land. I’ll be seeing if I can donate anything to help these lovely people to build their village ❤️

[@MrSmithington]

You are a versatile, kind KZbinr. I love the range of your videos, this had such a nice tone to it

[@jakbutfromjakanddaxter]

The stark contrast between this, and Tom, Brandon, and Brodie shackeled together is inspiring.

[@imee8825]

I just left the island yesterday. Ship my SUV out . But to survive I live in my SUV. After the pandemonium 3 years ago many have lost jobs, move out and become homeless. Yes priced out of paradise it’s very sad. Other families can still survive if family already owned a house. Some can still survive if you choose your lifestyle carefully. Prayers for everyone. Aloha

[@ForageGardener]

Ive worked and grown up with people from Guam, and Hawaii. The story is nearly universally that they came here because there is basically no work on the islands and they are being priced out. They nearly universally tell me they plan to move back and would rather be living on the island if they could afford it. These are people who were born and grew up there and their ancestors lived there forever and the only reason they cant stay is because all of the sudden someone showed up and told them it costs 800,000 dollars to go build a house somewhere. Its the same story generally everywhere else these pressures are occuring, just that here its basically ethnically cleansing a colonial posession of an empire by displacing the people there. The problem is land being a "store of value" and people thinking lands purpose is to be "more" valuable over time. Its erronious. And mortage backed securities inflate the value of the land because of speculation on the value of purely financial paperwork ownership value concepts.

[@michaelkiese7794]

Thank you for having the courage to document and share this.

[@The-eh6fm]

Pass the law, if you own a property in Hawaii but don't live there less than 10 months per year, you must sell it. Or property will be confiscated and transformed into a shelter with 75% acupancy, if acupancy is less than 75% - property will be demolished.

[@JLouis-uf9iz]

This video is sad, fascinating, raw, and eye opening. Graeat job, Brandon

[@3v3y]

Went there about a month ago it’s seriously messed up how bad the natives are struggling. I think they should be exempt from taxes or be given a monthly payment from a tourist tax either way something needs to be done.

[@biggiesmall4817]

Brandon, thank you for giving the Polynesian people a voice my man. You’re doing incredible work brotha keep it up!

[@therealjonluc]

thank you for shedding light to this homeless problem. people that are doing their best working, raising their families but just being priced out.

[@suzanl8170]

The Aloha spirit of welcoming, embracing, warmth is so strong. I live in city with rampant homeless and have volunteered with that community. Homelessness on the mainland comes with a lot of lawlessness. You don’t see that here, there is so much respect and care here within the homeless community in Waianae.

[@jenniferhalf1650]

We need more people in this world like Twinkle!!

I’m so mad Brandon that the video is only 13 minutes, but I am extremely grateful. Thank you for making more content.💓💓💓💓 this is a very informing video 💓

[@dytallixx1268]

great video. made me emotional watching this kids. makes me think back into my own childhood and what it would be like if i was in there position.

[@muzzymoodoe3424]

As a native Hawaiian who lived in Hawaii my whole life I had to move because of the cost of living. I am able to get a higher education and provide for my family now. It hurts though when I hear people who are not Hawaiian brag about how they have a house on Hawaii and ask me if I’ll return. I long to go back home but don’t know if I’ll ever have a place again.

[@TheKing60210]

Man the housing crisis is messed up.

[@ShroomStreamz]

I love how they say houselss rather than homeless. They may not have a legitimate house but they have built a home out of that community. Prayers to all!

[@FastwayIndustries]

Brandon is the best, glad he isnt the “douchey influencer” brandon is real man straight up, bless up brandon💪

[@Fa1ry]

Brandon, I genuinely adore your content, everything you do is amazing. Entertaining and educational!

[@blaze-0-rama]

Yea living here in Oahu is just LA but much smaller and much worser. Living day to day catching the bus and going to work can be very somber feeling you look and everybody looks stressed it never used to be this stressful before covd and before inflation. I’m very lucky to be living comfortably but that doesn’t mean that there’s no work being done my mom is a school teacher and my dad is a welder full time and that’s just not enough my mom and I are getting second jobs just to pay the rent. Kick aside the rant I’m really happy to see people contribute to those who can’t live in Hawaii and have to move away or live on the street. I will be donating and I hope others do the same too. Mahalo.

[@Syberbat808]

People call America a third world country wearing a Gucci Belt; Hawai'i is just straight up coming out of third world status I swear. Cost of living is so expensive, violence is common, and everyone has to work long hours just to live. At the same time, everyone here is divided. You have so many disagreements about what to do about it, so much culture being lost, and families are crashing into modern American family values more and more.

[@sassygirl7817]

The kids have a big extended family and are very polite and kind to one another. The kids are learning how to survive in the world. I actually went to intermediate school with Twinkle. She was ALWAYS kind and caring.

[@TheTGOAC]

Notice how everyone in the camp is native Hawaiian getting pushed out of their own home by people that don't even live there. Modern trail of tears

[@VictoriaPalapala]

i am native indian.. trail of tears far worse here us ppl in every culture who choose welfare drugs .. others choose to br legal or self sufficient ..

[@VictoriaPalapala]

hawaiians have indigenous status others self priclaim they native fact is they not native ..but they can apply .. same like indian

[@alexanderhussey2113]

​@@VictoriaPalapala was indians ever recognized as a country ? Hawaii was a country recognized by other countries.

[@vincentrouse7382]

I don't think non-Hawaiian natives should be able to buy a property there n hike up rent just because it's a tropical island type paradise that's their native home they shouldn't be displaced for $

[@marknewton6984]

Tell it to this native Floridian! 😎

[@saltyrust2610]

Brandon needs to be bigger man, banger on banger on banger

[@robsmith6215]

Much mahalos to you and the people of Waianae village for sharing their house less living. I have driven by their several times before, just assumed it was made up of a lot of substance abuse people like the ones I see on the streets in Honolulu. Wow, I was totally wrong about that. This village is truly an amazing Ohana that shares,cares and respects each person, which says so much . Good to hear Twinkle and the village were able to obtain land for future settlement. Also your Rules are a good boundaries to remain in the village. People who ask to stay there should see it as a privilege and not an expectation….its not about Me, it’s about WE. The way housing costs in Hawaii keep going up up up, more families will be houseless, and more villages like this will be needed. Waianae boat harbor village is a great model to follow.

[@KosheckSingleton]

It's such a nice community . They all seem so kind

[@liavasquez7364]

It’s so sad that everyone goes as tourists but the locals are suffering… it’s truly heartbreaking and disgusting

[@jasonwilde197]

The level of respect for each other as neighbors, is something a lot of people have lost.

[@davidspringer7840]

1995-2018 from high end to the gutter 35 when came from California raised to Hawaii - Oahu and even spent the last 10 years of being on Oahu before leaving and going to the mainland again where i am now Mom became a widow i the only child so nough said 2014 through the late even spent the time living with and around the waianea Filipino farmers in a lowly economic condition and WOW when i say A lot of beautiful people in heart and spirit with the local communities and have lived it over there from Rich turning into poor and being able to fellowship with everyone and I'll always have a heart for the Hawaii local communities and the spread of Love i used to be Carpet Cleaner Springer over there and actually used the business to clean the homes of many economically challenged families and ended up giving away more than half of my career income just absolutely loving and helping while fellowshipping with many. This video i will be keeping, im considered a senior citizen now but feel like 30's something Mahalo

[@bomerang3748]

[@freeskierforlive]

This was an unexpectedly wholesome video

[@kaibigan_28]

Watching this makes me cry. The locals don't have their land anymore. Life is so tough. Auntie Twinkle has a good big heart.
