James "Duke" Aiona attests to membership in Transformation Hawaii

In 2010 Hawaii Lt. Governor James "Duke" Aiona told Hawaii KITV station reporter Daryl Huff that he, Aiona, was not a member of Transformation Hawaii or the International Transformation Network. But a public statement Aiona made in July 2008 directly contradicts Aiona's disavowal.

If you have any idols in your home, we're gonna burn 'em! If you have any witchcraft items in your home, we're gonna burn 'em!" -- Cindy Jacobs, faculty member, International Transformation Network

It's like something out of the Spanish Inquisition or from the depths of the European Medieval period, mysteriously transported to sunny Hawaii of 2010, at the height of a hotly fought campaign for governor no less. As the Associated Press reported yesterday, on a scandal roiling the Hawaii gubernatorial campaign, Republican candidate for governor James "Duke" Aiona is lashing out at the campaign of his Democratic rival Neal Abercrombie for allegedly promoting a video I've compiled which begins with a clip of Aiona, in July 2008, enthusiastically stating that he was a member of Transformation Hawai'i, which is a local chapter of the International Transformation Network.

As Huff quotes Duke Aiona's response, "This politically motivated attack video takes quotes out of context" - "It splices videos together and it manufactures patently false statements as it relates to a faith-based organization."

But what else can Aiona say given that he's starred in Transformation Hawai'i ads and infommercials, attended (and led) multiple Transformation Hawai'i events, contributed a chapter to a book detailing Transformation Hawaii's efforts, accepted cash gifts of over $7,000 to finance a junket to an Argentina conference of Transformation Hawaii's parent ministry, publicly dedicated Hawaii to Jesus in the name of Transformation Hawai'i, stated his intent of "discipling" Hawaii for Transformation Hawai'i and it's parent ministry, the International Transformation Network, and been prayed over, at a 2009 ITN Hawai'i conference, at a religious ceremony reminiscent of a coronation http://www.vimeo.com/15900672 ?
