GOP 2010 Candidate For Hawaii Gov. Tied To Eliminationist Religious Movement
(note: here's a definition of eliminationalism)

There he is, the Republican candidate running in 2010 to be Hawaii’s next governor, up onstage at a November 2009 conference near Honolulu being blessed and anointed by a religious leader who likens his opponents to rats which will be exterminated.

The leader’s name is Ed Silvoso. He’s the founder of a organization called the International Transformation Network which is working with Uganda’s top leaders to “transform” that country. Silvoso’s ITN is also fielding a small army of volunteer organizers in Newark, NJ. The far-flung ITN has “Transformation” operations ongoing across the globe.

As my extended report Transforming Hawaii details, Lt. Governor James “Duke” Aiona, the 2010 GOP Hawaii gubernatorial candidate, is extensively and intimately tied to the International Transformation Network which is part of a global movement within charismatic evangelical Christianity that seeks to “transform” the Earth by purging it of perceived evil. .........(more)
