SOMETHINGS WRONG WITH THE WORLD RIGHT NOW.............No thanks to the U.S.

If the U.S. did not support and conspire against our neutral nation - the Kingdom of Hawaii, our Queen, and our people, and did not steal our assets, occupy our lands, etc.....they would not have breached the law of nations, would not have made nuclear bombs to destroy good people....... and would not have to resort to lies claiming peace, friendships around the world...........the ills of a pirate nation continues in Hawaii, the criminal mecca of the U.S.....and all can see it now.........................the U.S. are belligerent occupiers and appears to be egging on Nations to destroy more innocents with the targets here no thanks to the underground bunkers loaded with nuclear bombs..........the U.S. FAILS to understand that a neutral nation exists and respect for others are supported by the Kingdom of Hawaii's Royal families..........rents and leases are due - $500 Trillion dollars per year retroactive to 1893 and the cleanup, removal of military arms mucking up our Neutral nation.

Do not hide behind the skirts of a neutral, non-violent nation.
Armageddon is intended by the wicked ones, but don't include us, innocent, Neutral, non-violent, Ancient societies with people of color who loves our creator. -the real aloha.

Reasons Why the entity

State of Hawaii is Totally Illegal

-Discovered by Researchers-

compiled by Amelia Gora (2009)



1810 - Kamehameha formed the Monarchy government.

1819 - Kamehameha died leaving wives and children.

1820 - Mercenaries/Missionaries arrived to steal lands, monies, enslaven people of color.

1822 - Secret Treaty of Verona - supported by Austria, France, Russia, Prussia, U.S., England and the Vatican.

Intent was to break down Monarchy/Monarchical governments worldwide.

1824+ Kaananiau Property rights/ancient Hawaiian law and traditional practices.

Ref: Tom Lenchanko, Alika Poe Silva, Ohana: Paulo Kamakakehau, Josephine Rabago, Calvin Kaaa o Kahekili Santos, Talbot David Peleioholani George, Keahi L., Amelia Gora, and Kanaloa Kanaina Kakino Koko - Meeting at OHA/ Office of Hawaiian Affairs requesting for $100,000 attorney's cost in processing "a strategy to block the sale of the so-called Ceded Lands", etc. 2:00 PM, January 30, 2009.

1848 - Great Mahele.

1870 - "A pair of U.S. Army officers helped put across a treaty of reciprocity shortly thereafter. Major General J.M. Schofield and Lt. Col. B. A. Alexander visited

Hawaii in 1873, under secret orders to study its defensive capacity. The report they filed in Washington recommended that Hawaii be allowed to ship

sugar to the United States free of tariff, in exchange for giving America rights to Pearl Harbor and a strip of land all around it. A treaty containing

these provisions went into effect in 1875."

Important note: A fraud deed was brought out in Condemnation Case pertaining to Halawa Ahupuaa affecting Pearl Harbor. The deed was signed by

King David Kalakaua deeding the lands to Grace Kamaikui and Mataio Kekuanaoa, both were ancestors. The questions asked: How is it

possible for King Kalakaua to deed lands to two deceased people. The deed was dated 1876 and Grace Kamaikui had died in 1866, and her

husband - the father of Paalua (k); Lot Kamehameha/Kamehameha V; Alexander Liholiho/Kamehameha IV; Victoria Kamamalu; Moses Kekuaiwa; etals. -

Mataio Kekuanaoa died in 1868. They both had died 8-9 years prior to the deed!

The message and truth of it all is that millions died needlessly, the claims by the U.S. over PEARL HARBOR IS A FRAUD! The 'Rule of Law'

does not exist in the occupier's PIRATES court because the Jude of the case was complemented and awarded with a Federal Judge position

shortly after the case!

1892 - Benjamin F. Tracy, U.S. representative met with Thurston in Makua on the 'preliminary contemplation of dethroning the Queen'.

Ref: Affidavit/Lient/Notice No. 96-177455 filed on 12/17/96 (281 pages), Bureau of Conveyances, Honolulu, Oahu, Hawaii.

Hundreds of Masons/Freemasons gathered and paraded in our Hawaiian islands claiming they were in their 'home city'. Masons and Freemasons were set in place to break down Monarchy governments worldwide.

American Civil War generals documented in Hawaii. Most were Confederates on assignment to make themselves look better in their government's eyes.

Ref: PIRATES OF THE PACIFIC: Charles Reed Bishop and Friends

- In Washington, D.C., Dr. Mott-Smith, Thomas Akaka, and Lorrin Thurston did plan, and conspire to dethrone the Queen. Secret letters to

the President were also made.

Note: There's another Akaka in Washington, D.C. conspiring against the descendants and heirs of the Ruling Chiefs in Hawaii, and his name is Senator

Daniel Akaka with his compadre one-armed bandit Daniel Inouye, Central Pacific bank owner-investor whose bank is one of the 25 largest in

the U.S. with support from Japan's Sumitomo Bank, international bankers seeking to pass the 'AKAKA BILL' - providing private properties to the U.S.

once and for all.............note that the Bankers are bankrupt and Inouye recently obtained Corporate Welfare from Obama's administration -

TV News, June 30, 2009 - 10:00 news. Inouye did not want to answer the questions about how much interest he had in CPB/ Central Pacific Bank.

1893- January 9. U.S./Congress gave a standing order for the U.S. citizens in the Hawaiian Islands to assume Hawaii -which meant to dethrone the Queen. This was a planned/premeditated maneuver to assume land, monies, etc. from a friendly nation.

Ref: Shane Lee researcher, NEW YORK TIMES article, "Pearl Harbor Coaling Station. Imperative Necessity That The United States Take Possession", January 9, 1893.

- January 15. "Men from the cruiser Boston poured ashore on January 15 "to protect American lives and property," according to United States Minister

John L. Stevens. The action came a day before the committee of safety took possession of the government office building and abrogated the

monarchy, forcing Queen Liliuokalani from her throne."

"Judge Sanford B. Dole was appointed head of the provisional government with authority to negotiate for the annexation of Hawaii to the United States.

A treaty was signed in Washington February 14, but the Senate refused to vote on it. On the advice of his Cabinet, newly inaugurated President

Cleveland withdrew the treaty from the Senate and sent Commissioner Blount to the islands to find the reasons for the monarchy's overthrow.

Blount informed Cleveland that Stevens had conspired with rebels to oust the Queen." - out of the CHRONICLE OF AMERICA.



- January 16. Queen Liliuokalani destroyed the Constitution, dethroned by Americans who premeditated the criminal assumption of a neutral, non-violent nation recognized in the Law of Nations.

-January 31. U.S. President Benjamin Harrison used his Executive Orders to refute the Bill passed by both House and Senate to prosecute criminals on the high seas.

Note: We are on the high seas! The true term of criminals on the high seas are PIRATES! ---Pirates on the high seas!

President Harrison was a former American Civil War General overseeing the other Civil War Generals under orders to assist their country --- the Confederate Generals/ officers were given opportunities to serve their country or serve time in prison. To date, there were approximately 8 American Civil War Generals/officers operating in

Hawaii during the period.

Additionally, President Harrisons vice President was an expert in monetary transfers, a bank owner who returned to his bank after their term was up

and sold his bank to J.P. Morgan, the banker/investor for both the U.S. and England.

Both the U.S. and England were broke-ass and lost monies in the 1863-1865 American Civil War.

An American representative asked King Kalakaua and the House of Nobles for loans but were denied them because the U.S. would not have paid back

for thousands of years........only a fractional interest would be paid each year as interest.



So, it appears that the German Jews did loan the U.S. monies expecting 10% interest but most of the German Jews were killed in

World War II.........it appears that many of the current bank owners, investors are also made up of German Jews (research incomplete).



- December 19. A Joint Resolution To authorize the Secretary of War to grant permits for the use of the Monument grounds and reservations or public spaces in the City of Washington, and for other purposes.

Permits were granted to the Executive Committee, Knights of Pythias for temporary camping purposes, and the reservations or public spaces along the line of Pennsylvania Avenue for the "Pythian Conclave and Encampment...".

1894 - July 4. In the Court of Claims, a PETITION was filed by Kinney, Ballou, Prosser & Anderson attorneys for LILIUOKALANI vs. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

1894 - June 16. The entity "Provisional government" headed by Americans, former subjects of the Hawaiian Kingdom, conspirators/treasonous persons signed the Pearl Harbor Treaty with their U.S. government officials in Washington, D.C., by Secretary of State Sherman, representing the United States, and by Francis M. Hatch, Lorin A. Thurston, and William A. Kinney, special commissioners representing the Hawaiian government. It was sent to the senate the same day.

"The United States of America and the Republic of Hawaii, in view of the natural dependence of the Hawaiian islands upon the United States, of their geographical proximity thereto,k of the preponderant share acquired by the United States and its citizens in the industries and trade of said islands, and of the expressed desire of the government of the Republic of Hawaii that those islands should be incorporated into the United States as an integral part thereof and under its sovereignty, have determined to accomplish by treaty an object so important to their mutual and permanent welfare."

The treasonous persons "ceded" lands which they have no titles to, to the United States of America, which includes the transfers "to the United States the absolute fee and ownership of all public, government, or crown lands, publich buildings or edifices, ports, harbors, military equipments, and all other public property of every kind and description belonging to the government of the Hawaiian Islands..."

"The existing laws of the United States relative to public lands shall not apply to such lands in the Hawaiian islands; but the congress of the United States shall enact special laws for their management and disposition...."

Secretary Sherman's report:

"...an abrupt revolutionary movement had brought about the dethronement of the late queen, and set up instead of the theretofore titular monarchy a provisional government...such government to exist only until terms of union with the United States should have been negotiated and agreed upon."

"As time passed on and the plan of union with the United States became an uncertain contingency, the organization of the Hawaiian commenwealth underwent necessary changes. The temporary character of its first government gave place to a permanent scheme under a constitution framed by the representatives of the electors of the islands..."

1895 - January 7. Queen Liliuokalani "was arrested for no specific charged offense, taken by force, and confined alone in the Iolani Palace....She was told that those she dearly loved, personal friends, were awaiting execution, and the only act which would save their lives was an act of abdication to be signed by her....To save those she loved she executed the document you publish. It was an act consummated under the plainest kind of duress, void even had it been legally executed."

Ref: WASHINGTON EVENING STAR "The Republic of Hawaii" February 12, 1897/98



Queen Liliuokalani documented protests against annexation:

"I declare such treaty to be an act of wrong toward the native and part native people of Hawaii, an invasion of the rights of the ruling chiefs...."

Ref: WASHINGTON EVENING STAR "The Republic of Hawaii" February 12, 1897/98

"...a certain treaty which so I am informed has been signed at Washington by Messrs. Hatch, Thurston and Kinney purporting to cede those Islands to the territory and dominion of the United States. I declare such treaty to be an act of wrong towards the native and part-native people of Hawaii, an invasion of the rights of the ruling chiefs...."

OHA CEDED LANDS


Supreme Court Decision, January 31, 2008

Office of Hawaiian Affairs v. Housing and Community
Development Corporation of Hawai'i (HCDCH)
CONCLUSION

Based on the foregoing, we hold that: (1) the Apology Resolution and related state legislation, give rise to the State's fiduciary duty to preserve the corpus of the public lands trust, specifically, the ceded lands, until such time as the unrelinquished claims of the native Hawaiians have been resolved; (2) the trial court correctly determined that this court's unpublished decision in Trustees of the Office of Hawaiian Affairs v. Board of Land and Natural Resources, No. 19774 (Haw. Mar. 12, 1998) (mem.), did not collaterally estop the plaintiffs' claims in this case inasmuch as the elements of collateral estoppel, see Keahole Def. Coal., Inc. v. Bd. of Land & Natural Res., 110 Hawai'i 419, 429, 134 P.3d 585, 595 (2006), are not present; (3) the plaintiffs' claim for injunctive relief with regard to the Leiali'i parcel is not barred by sovereign immunity based on our conclusion that the $31 million expenditure on infrastructure for the Leiali'i parcel had only an ancillary effect -- albeit a substantial one -- on the state treasury, see Kahoohanohano v. State, 114 Hawai'i 302, 337, 162 P.3d 696, 731 (2007); (4) inasmuch as the Apology Resolution and related state legislation give rise to a fiduciary duty by the State, as trustee, to preserve the corpus of the public lands trust until such time as the unrelinquished claims of the native Hawaiians have been resolved, the trial court's conclusion that OHA's actions between 1987 and 1994 constituted a waiver of the plaintiffs' claims was clearly erroneous and, therefore, the plaintiffs did not waive their claim for injunctive relief with regard to the Leiali'i parcel; (5) the plaintiffs were not estopped from challenging the transfer of the Leiali'i parcel based on their pre-1993 actions because it was not until the Apology Resolution was signed into law on November 23, 1993 that the plaintiffs' claim regarding the State's explicit fiduciary duty to preserve the corpus of the public lands trust arose; (6) inasmuch as the plaintiffs' requested relief is clearly prospective in nature, the plaintiffs' claims with regard to the sale or transfer of the ceded lands in general are not barred by sovereign immunity; (7) the question whether an injunction is appropriate to allow resolution of the plaintiffs' unrelinquished claims without further diminishment of the trust res is ripe for adjudication; (8) the question whether an injunction should issue presents a type of dispute that is traditionally resolved by the courts and, therefore, does not present a non-justiciable political question; (9) the appropriate test in this jurisdiction for determining whether a permanent injunction is proper is: (a) whether the plaintiff has prevailed on the merits; (b) whether the balance of irreparable damage favors the issuance of a permanent injunction; and (c) whether the public interest supports granting such an injunction; and (10) the plaintiffs have established that injunctive relief is proper pending final resolution of native Hawaiian claims through the political process.

Accordingly, we vacate the trial court's January 31, 2003 judgment and remand this case to the circuit court with instructions to issue an order granting the plaintiffs' request for an injunction against the defendants from selling or otherwise transferring to third parties (1) the Leiali'i parcel and (2) any other ceded lands from the public lands trust until the claims of the native Hawaiians to the ceded lands have been resolved.

Bumpy Kanahele Nation of Hawaii Response & Objection
to the Hawaii Supreme Court OHA Ceded Lands Decision








February 08, 2008

OBJECTION to OHA Ceded Lands Settlement Regarding SB 2733 & HB 2701

NOTICE TO ALL LEGISLATORS TO IMMEDIATELY CEASE AND DESIST
Any and all legislation past, present and future regarding the political, economic, social and cultural status of native Hawaiians.

EXCERPTS FROM THE SUPREME COURT DECISION, JANUARY 31, 2008
The Hawaii Supreme Court has concluded that "injunctive relief" is proper pending final resolution of native Hawaiian claims through the political process.

Furthermore, the Hawaii Supreme Court holds that: The Apology Resolution and related state legislation, give rise to the state's fiduciary duty to preserve the corpus of the public lands trust, specifically, the ceded lands, until such time as the unrelinquished claims of the native Hawaiians have been resolved.

SOLUTION
Injunction on SB 2733 & HB 2701 until such time as the political process of the Native Hawaiian people is resolved.

ELECTORAL PROCESS
Native Hawaiian People need a substantial period of time in which they can engage freely and without fear of threat or intimidation in the processes of educating and publicly debating among themselves, with meaningful access to the mainstream news media in Hawaii, regarding the various options available to them including but not limited to: Integration - Free Association - Independence - Restoration of Independence

In order to guarantee a free, fair, impartial, and objective electoral process in accordance with historically recognized international standards and procedures, such a process must be supervised by the United Nations Organization, i.e., UN observers.

It must be guaranteed, before the process begins, that the will of the Native Hawaiian people is determinative (has the power to determine) and will be honored and respected whatever the results might be, including restoration and independence.

Summary

Ronald Reagan, 40th U.S. President, said in his farewell speech:

"If we forget what we were, we won't know who we are. I am waning of an eradication of the American memory that could result, ultimately, in an erosion of the American spirit....

after 200 years, two centuries, she (America) still stands strong and true on the granite ridge, and her glow has held steady no matter what storm. And

she's still a beacon, still a magnet for all who must have freedom, for all the Pilgrims from all the lost places who are hurtling through the

darkness, toward home."

Perhaps it is now time for the Americans to deoccupy our Hawaiian Islands and return to their home.

The entity State of Hawaii parading under the facade of a "government" fails to meet the basic needs of their own citizens, the failure to protect the health, lives,

and safety; instead, encourage the detonation of toxic, contaminants affecting the air that we breathe. The use of DU/depleted uranium in our environment is

meant to exterminate all in the vicinity. DU/depleted uranium is used in Pohakuloa, Big Island; Makua, Oahu; and Schofield, Oahu.

Americans in Hawaii: Do you honestly believe that the entity State of Hawaii, or the U.S. gives a damn about you or your loved ones? Did you know that

there are more than six (6) underground cities set up for their own use (and NOT YOURS?)



Maka Ala! Wake Up people! --- why should you support documented PIRATES ON THE HIGH SEAS? Reread the above because the conclusion is that the U.S.

did indeed support the PIRATING of a neutral, non-violent, friendly nation, planned, supported the criminal assumption, and try to hide behind a doctored/ white-washed

history intended to deceive the people over time..........all in the Hawaiian Islands, and the WORLD today!



Articles in the past showed that Scoundrels, Belials, Sex Offenders, Malicious, Violent Castouts were the Pilgrims who ventured off to America,

the homeless criminals setting forward to assume lands belonging to the aboriginal peoples. Even today, the movements are the same with the prodding,

encouragement.....or Plundering first by the military in defense of the Corporate scoundrels looking for free oil, lands, etc. belonging to others. Talk is cheap

when quoting the 'Rule of Law' when we all know that the Destruction of the Nation - U.S. started within, the Raping of the Constitution, the Lynching

of America by the Supreme Court of the United States progresses. The U.S. has broken so many treaties as well. The U.S. breached the Law of Nations

and moved to form organizations (with England, and the bankers forming the CFR/Council on Foreign Relations which started the United Nations moving towards

One World Order/New World Order).........become empowered with knowledge, be aware.



Queen Liliuokalani did state that if the U.S. fails to make corrections, they will fall apart. Our Queen was under duress - duress negates all

claims, contracts, etc. Will the 'Rule of Law' actually be respected by the PIRATES, occupiers..........When will the Americans take back their government or

will the new Americans ---those without criminal backgrounds----be the ones to lead and take back the controls from the Corporations who continue to affect

the health of the World?



Meanwhile pertaining to Hawaii:

This article should be kept with "WHAT EVERY KANAKA MAOLI NEEDS TO KNOW" as well.

A Tribunal needs to be formed to adjudicate the criminals/conspirator's/terrorists of our Queen, government, people.

Although the criminals are now deceased, we need to declare them to have been conspirator's, treasonous persons. Ramifications continue due to the ongoing perpetuation of frauds, deviance, etc. which has been the cause of non-bloods enrichening themselves at our families expense, etc.

Grant 973, for example, has stipulations that the land could not be sold to foreign governements, etc. A Tribunal needs to be formed, information disseminated and votes on which escheats the entire grant to the Hawaiian government, the Kingdom of Hawaii/ Hawaiian Kingdom/He Mokupuni Pae Aina o Hawaii.

Adjudication of the Trusts is also suggested. Evidence to be introduced are Frauds uncovered/ discovered on genealogies, etc. Also, heirs can/may be shown through research.

Recording in the Kingdom of Hawaii files is a necessary part, Notice of Service to the U.S. President, Congress, Lingle, etals.

Movement towards monetary trusts, etc. can be moved on after other nations are informed (real soon).

aloha and malama pono!

(MORE) REASONS WHY the entity

-discovered by Researchers -

compiled by Amelia Gora (2009)


These are more Reasons why the entity State of Hawaii is Totally Illegal:
These are also some of the reasons why your President Obama is not legally American born.

1) The U.S. Premeditated the assumption of a neutral friendly non-violent nation.

2) The Kingdom of Hawaii passed the anti-slavery law in 1852:

"Art. 12. Slavery shall, under no circumstances whatever, be tolerated in the Hawaiian Islands; whenever a slave shall enter Hawaiian territory he shall be free; no person who imports a slave, or slaves, into the King's dominions shall ever enjoy anycivil or political rights in this realm; but involuntary servitude for the punishment of crime is allowable according to law."


3) The U.S. claims to Pearl Harbor is based on a Fraud deed dated 1876 to two (2) already deceased ancestors.

The deed surfaced in a Pearl Harbor Condemnation land case a few years ago.

Reference: PEARL HARBOR AND THE RECIPROCITY TREATY: THE TRUTH by Amelia Gora

4) Documented evidence of conspiracies discovered, shared, and recorded over time by researchers such as myself.

5) The U.S., a brokeass bankrupt nation sent a representative to ask for loans and they would not be able to pay back for thousands of years, and only a piddling amount would have been paid as interest. Our House of Nobles denied the request for the brokeass nation request.

Anyone who loaned the U.S. money was plundered upon....German Jews expecting 10% interest....there's no evidence of such repayment made but the German's were warred with.

note: the U.S. OWES to so many nations, including China......the track record being the way it is means ? that's left up to you to be aware.

6) Since 1892, Queen Liliuokalani was under duress. Duress says it all. Duress cancels all transactions/nulls and voids all.

Her brother King David Kalakaua was under duress, under the prompting of gun carrying conspirators/treasonous persons signed the "Bayonnet Constitution".

The 1892 Constitution included an Act which empowered a "Judiciary Department" and "the several Judges and other judicial officers.....to be independent of both the executive and legislative departments of Government. The Sovereign shall have no power to interfere with, alter or overrule any order, writ, judgment or decision of any Court, Judge or other judicial officer......"

7) Queen Liliuokalani discarded/destroyed this Constitution.
Queen Liliuokalani, under the hanai system, was part of the Royal families under the Kamehameha's family of Royal persons because she was part of Konia and Abner Paki's family.

Royal persons are not subject to the laws, so she had every right to destroy the Constitution created by the treasonous Americans playing the roles of being Hawaiian subjects.

8) Many of the Royal families exist in Hawaii and elsewhere contrary to the American supported Princess, Bernice Pauahi Bishop being "the last of the Kamehameha's" as claimed by her treasonous, conspiring, banker, plantation owner, Pacific Cable Company investor husband Charles Reed Bishop (and Friends).

Notes: Queen Liliuokalani was her hanai/adopted sister.

Bernice Pauahi died in 1884.

Queen Liliuokalani died in 1917.

Kamehameha's bloodlines/descendants existed then and exist now.


9) The Hawaiian archipelago has Royal families, aborignal Hawaiians/kanaka maoli private property owners.

10) The conspirators/treasonous person/ Americans in Hawaii were 'neither de facto nor de jure but an entity' documented Queen Liliuokalani.

11) The entity "Provisional Government" set up Acts to protect themselves and diminish the rights of our Queen and kanaka maoli by passing Acts a few days after the dethronement of Queen Liliuokalani in 1893:

Act 1. Relating to the Powers and Duties of the President and Executive Council.

Act 2. Relating to Official Oaths.

Act 3. To Amend Chapter VI. of the Penal Code, Relating to Treason.

Section 1. If any person owing allegiance to the Provisional Governemnt of the Hawaiian Islands, levies war against it, or adheres to its enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the Hawaiian Islands or elsewhere, he is guilty of treason.

note: Nations who has treaties with the Hawaiian Kingdom would be guilty of treason according to these pirate proclamations.

12) U.S. President Harrison blocked the passage of the bill approved by both House and Senate to prosecute crimes on the high seas..........the issue hidden was PIRACY(IES) ON THE HIGH SEAS....... The President used his executive order/privilege, a tradition - not lawful move to cast away the intent of 200+ members of Congress on January 31, 1893.

13) The entity - Provisional Government evolved into the Republic of Hawaii passed the following (along with other laws):

Art. 9 - Slavery.

"Involuntary servitude, except for crime, is forever prohibited in this Republic. Whenever a slave shall enter the territory of this Republic he shall be free."

Note: All 40,000 subjects along with Queen Liliuokalani were viewed as slaves because of the view towards the majority as those doing "crime(s)" by staying, supporting the Queen.

14) Oppositions to Annexation recorded by Queen Liliuokalani and her subjects numbering approximately 40,000. 3,000 documented conspirators/treasonous persons/ Americans in Hawaii and supporters were all for Annexation to their mother country, the U.S. supported by England - both brokeass nations due to the American Civil War costs.

note: The U.S. did not pay off the American Civil War debt until 1934!

15) Acts of Genocide continued against our aboriginal Hawaiians/kanaka maoli - many were beaten, killed, tongues pulled out, claimed to be lepers and sent to Molokai the Leper Colony, imprisoned, given hard labor or sent abroad as slaves.

16) Organic Act passed which disregarded aboriginal Hawaiians/kanaka maoli making the aboriginal Hawaiians/kanaka maoli quasi slave group remaining under duress since January 16, 1893.

17) Statehood of a pirate entity was approved through the Executive Order of U.S. President Eisenhower in 1959.

18) Opposition to Statehood recorded by a Kamehameha descendant Harold Abel Cathcart, documented within time announced by the U.S. legal notice if anyone disagreed to Statehood.

19) Admission of crimes documented and signed by Congress and made into law by U.S. President William Clinton in 1993, known as P.L. No. 103-150.

20) Efforts to retract the admission is made by Senators Daniel Inouye, and Daniel Akaka (etals.) - a descendant/ family member of treasonous/pirate/ conspirator Thomas Akaka who along with Lorrin Thurston and Dr. Mott-Smith conspired against Queen Liliuokalani in 1893.

Others who move to assist Inouye, Akaka, Linda Lingle, Samuel King, Roth, etals. include the families/ descendants of the following:

Ed McMahon died last week. He was a great entertainer, but prior to his stage accomplishments he was a distinguished Marine Corps fighter pilot in Korea, earning six Air Medals and attaining the rank of Colonel. He was discharged and was later promoted to the rank of Brigadier General in the California Air National Guard.

Farrah Fawcett died last week after a long career in Hollywood as an actress. After she was diagnosed with cancer, she became an activist for cancer treatment and devoted her last remaining years encouraging people to seek treatment. She documented her plight on film and used it to encourage others to stay positive and upbeat despite their diagnosis and suffering.

Michael Jackson died last week. He was perhaps one of the greatest singers of modern time. He will also be remembered for his eccentric lifestyle that included sleeping with a chimpanzee, living in a carnival-like atmosphere at NeverLand, his fascination with Peter Pan, and his numerous masks and costumes. He also admitted to finding pleasure sleeping with young boys and paying out millions of dollars in settlements to the families of these boys despite being acquitted by a court on one allegation of sexual molestation.

Question: Which of the above persons did the U.S. House of Representatives, under the leadership of Nancy Pelosi, declare a moment of silence for this week? (Hint - It wasn't the first two.)
Question: Which of the above person's family received a personal note of condolence from President Barrack Obama? (Hint - It wasn't the first two.)
SUMMARY: The answers to these questions reveal a lot about the current American culture ... think about it.

Scientific Evidence: Flight 77 Did Not Strike The Pentagon
Given the topography, the force generated by the transition of Flight 77 from its downward path to level flight would cause the aircraft to disintegrate before striking the Pentagon
by Enver Masud
[Watch, read author's rebuttal of The 9/11 Commission Report.]

A simple formula, familiar to high school students, may debunk the official account of American Airlines Flight 77 that is alleged to have struck the Pentagon on September 11, 2001.

Force = Mass X Velocity Squared / Radius

This formula approximates the force that would be exerted on an aircraft when it transitions from its downward path to level flight.

First we determine the mass of the aircraft.

Flight 77, a Boeing 757, had taken off from Washington Dulles International airport, and was bound for Los Angeles. Assuming its fuel tanks were full, and ignoring the weight of the 64 passengers, and cargo (which should be available if one wants to include them), the weight of the plane would be about 255,000 pounds (Boeing Technical Specifications).

For our calculation we'll assume that weight and mass are equal, i.e. 255,000 pounds.

For velocity we turn to the official account that Flight 77 struck the Pentagon at "530 miles per hour" (The 9/11 Commission Report, p10).

For our calculation we'll assume that speed and velocity are equal, i.e. 530 mph.

To calculate the radius, we could begin with a statement in The 9/11 Commission Report (p9): Flight 77 was "5 miles west-southwest of the Pentagon" when it "began a 330-degree turn. At the end of turn, it was descending through 2,200 feet".

Next we need to calculate the maximum radius (the most conservative case) of the arc that would allow the aircraft to transition from its downward path to level flight (while clearing obstacles in its path), and strike the Pentagon at the point described in official reports.

We chose instead to use the radius calculated by Pilots for 9/11 Truth.

Pilots for 9/11 Truth base their calculation on the Flight Data Recorder (FDR) data obtained pursuant to a Freedom of Information Act request filed with the National Transportation Safety Board, and carefully constructed topography of the area below the flight path.

Leaving aside the discrepancies between the official account of Flight 77, and the Flight Data Recorder, Pilots for 9/11 Truth calculated a radius equal to about 579 feet.

From this they calculated the force on the Boeing 757 at 34 Gs, i.e. 34 times the force due to gravity.

There has been some criticism of the calculations performed by Pilots for 9/11 Truth, and they have answered their critics.

With mass, velocity, and radius equal to 255,000 lbs, 530 mph, and 579 feet respectively, the preceding formula yields force equal to 8,276,850 lbs, i.e. the Boeing 757 would act as if it had increased its weight by 8,276,850, or more than 32 times its normal weight.

With a virtual weight of about 8.5 million pounds, Flight 77 would have disintegrated before striking the Pentagon.

This single fact is sufficient to debunk the official account of Flight 77.

Neither Hani Hanjour -- the alleged pilot trainee "noted for incompetence", nor the Boeing 757, would have been in any condition to fly with "the top of the fuselage of the aircraft no more than 20 ft above the ground" (Pentagon Building Performance Report, p14).

Pilots for 9/11 Truth did another calculation by lowering the height of "Flight 77" below that shown by the FDR. They lowered it to to the top of the Virginia Department of Transportation communications antenna that sits below the flight path defined by the FDR.

With this most conservative case, they calculated the force on the Boeing 757 at 11.2 Gs. "11.2 Gs was never recorded in the FDR. 11.2 Gs would rip the aircraft apart" they state.

If you disagree, figure out the mass, velocity, and radius, and plug them into the formula to calculate the force. If you have a better formula, use it. Could a Boeing 757 survive the calculated force?

What scientific evidence has the government released to support its position? If you have that evidence, we'd like to see it.

Scientific, and other evidence, reinforce the conclusion we reached four years ago: Flight 77 did not strike the Pentagon.

THE POPE FOR ONE WORLD ORDER/NEW WORLD ORDER:

As you may already know, the SECRET TREATY OF VERONA of 1822 became the treaty designed to set up the One World Order/New World Order. The Vatican was complemented for maintaining "obedience" among the people.

Recap: The Secret Treaty of Verona of 1822 was signed by Austria; France; Prussia; Russia; supported by the U.S.; England; and the Vatican - --- see previous posts or google 'Secret Treaty of Verona' info found by researcher Wolfram Graetz.

The following verifies the stance ---- just out from the Vatican:

CARITAS IN VERITATE: BUILDING A WORLD OF JUSTICE AND PEACE

VATICAN CITY, 8 JUL 2009 (VIS) - In today's general audience, which was held in the Paul VI Hall, the Pope spoke about his third Encyclical "Caritas in veritate", which was officially published yesterday.

The Encyclical, explained the Holy Father, highlights the fact that "charity in truth is the principal driving force behind the authentic development of every person and of all humanity. ... Only with charity, illuminated by reason and by faith, is it possible to pursue development goals that possess a more humane and humanising value".

The document, he went on, "intensifies Church analysis and reflection on social themes of vital interest to humankind in our century. In a special way it harks back to what Paul VI wrote more than forty years ago in his 'Populorum progressio'".

"Caritas in veritate", said Benedict XVI, "does not seek to offer technical solutions to the enormous social problems of the modern world. ...What it does do is recall the fundamental principles that are indispensable for building human development over coming years". Among these principles it highlights "concern for the life of man, seen as the centre of all true progress; respect for the right to religious freedom; ... and the rejection of a Promethean vision of human beings which sees them as the sole architects of their own destiny".

"Upright men and women are needed, both in politics and in the economy, people sincerely concerned for the common good", he said. Referring then specifically to "world emergencies", the Pope spoke of the urgent need to call "public opinion to the drama of hunger and of food security", which "must be faced decisively, eliminating the structural causes which produce it and promoting agricultural development in the poorest countries".

"The economy needs ethics in order to function correctly. It needs to recover the important contribution of the principle of gratuitousness and the 'logic of giving' in the economy and in the market, where profit cannot be the only rule. But this is possible only through commitment on the part of everyone, economists and politicians, producers and consumers, and it presupposes a formation of consciences capable of strengthening moral criteria in the elaboration of political and economic projects".

Another necessity, the Holy Father proceeded, "is for all humankind to practice a different lifestyle, one in which each individual's duties towards the environment are linked to his or her duties towards human beings, considered both in themselves and in relation to others".

Finally, "faced with the vast and profound problems of today's world", he said, "I indicated the need for a world political authority regulated by law, one that observes the principles of subsidiarity and solidarity and is firmly directed towards attaining the common good, while respecting the great moral and religious traditions of humanity".

The Pope asked the faithful to pray that "this Encyclical may help humankind to feel itself to be a single family, committed to creating a world of justice and peace". He also called upon them to pray for "the heads of State and government of the G8 who are currently meeting in L'Aquila, Italy. May this important world summit generate decisions and directives that serve the true progress of all peoples, especially the poorest".

MOTU PROPRIO ECCLESIAE UNITATEM

VATICAN CITY, 8 JUL 2009 (VIS) - Given below is an English-language translation from the Italian of the Apostolic Letter "Motu Proprio data" of Pope Benedict XVI, "Ecclesiae unitatem". The document concerns the structure of the Pontifical Commission "Ecclesia Dei" which deals with questions involving the Society of Saint Pius X and which as of now becomes dependent upon the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. The original text of the Motu Proprio is written in Latin:

1. The duty to safeguard the unity of the Church, with the solicitude to offer everyone help in responding appropriately to this vocation and divine grace, is the particular responsibility of the Successor of the Apostle Peter, who is the perpetual and visible principle and foundation of the unity of both bishops and faithful. The supreme and fundamental priority of the Church in all times - to lead mankind to the meeting with God - must be supported by the commitment to achieve a shared witness of faith among all Christians.

2. Faithful to this mandate, following the act of 30 June 1988 by which Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre illicitly conferred episcopal ordination upon four priests, on 2 July 1988 Pope John Paul II of venerable memory established the Pontifical Commission "Ecclesia Dei" whose task it is "to collaborate with the bishops, with the departments of the Roman Curia and with the circles concerned, for the purpose of facilitating full ecclesial communion of priests, seminarians, religious communities or individuals until now linked in various ways to the Society founded by Msgr. Lefebvre, who may wish to remain united to the Successor Peter in the Catholic Church, while preserving their spiritual and liturgical traditions, in the light of the Protocol signed on 5 May last by Cardinal Ratzinger and Msgr. Lefebvre".

3. In keeping with this, faithfully adhering to that duty to serve the universal communion of the Church, also in her visible manifestation, and making every effort to ensure that those who truly desire unity have the possibility to remain in it or to rediscover it, I decided, with the Motu Proprio "Summorum Pontificum", to expand and update through more precise and detailed norms the general indications already contained in the Motu Proprio "Ecclesia Dei" concerning the possibility of using the 1962"Missale Romanum".

4. In the same spirit, and with the same commitment to favouring the repair of all fractures and divisions within the Church, and to healing a wound that is ever more painfully felt within the ecclesiastical structure, I decided to remit the excommunication of the four bishops illicitly ordained by Msgr. Lefebvre. In making that decision my intention was to remove an impediment that could hinder the opening of a door to dialogue and thus invite the four bishops and the Society of Saint Pius X to rediscover the path to full communion with the Church. As I explained in my Letter to Catholic bishops of 10 March this year, the remission of the excommunication was a measure taken in the field of ecclesiastical discipline, to free individuals from the burden of conscience constituted by the most serious of ecclesiastical penalties. However it is clear that the doctrinal questions remain, and until they are clarified the Society has no canonical status in the Church, and its ministers cannot legitimately exercise any ministry in the Church.

5. Precisely because the problems that now have to be examined with the Society are essentially doctrinal in nature, I have decided - twenty-one years after the Motu Proprio "Ecclesia Dei" and in keeping with what I had intended to do - to reconsider the structure of the Commission "Ecclesia Dei", joining it closely to the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith.

6. The Pontifical Commission "Ecclesia Dei" will, then, have the following configuration:

(a) The president of the Commission is the prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith.

(b) The Commission has its own staff, composed of the secretary and officials.

(c) It will be the task of the president, with the assistance of the secretary, to submit the principal cases and questions of a doctrinal nature for study and discernment according to the ordinary requirements of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, and to submit the results thereof to the superior dispositions of the Supreme Pontiff.

7. With this decision I wish in particular to show paternal solicitude towards the Society of Saint Pius X, with the aim of rediscovering the full communion of the Church.

To everyone I address a pressing invitation to pray ceaselessly to the Lord, by the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, "ut unum sint".

From Rome, at St. Peter's, 2 July 2009, fifth year of Our Pontificate.

A sober view of Iran

By Stephen Gowans

The view of many parts of the Western left on the disputed presidential election in Iran and subsequent upheavals seems to have been influenced by an understandable distaste for the obscurantist and misogynistic elements of Islam and a dislike of theocracy. Romantic illusions about popular uprisings have also figured in the positions Western leftists have taken. But romantic illusions and distaste for Islam have no place in a sober analysis of what has transpired in Iran .

Financial and Banking Cover-ups
Key Information and Facts Reveal Major Cover-up



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

'The Federal Reserve is neither truly federal, nor a full reserve. It is not owned or directly controlled by the United States government. The fact that the words 'United States Federal Reserve System' are printed on every U.S. bank note thus raises serious questions.'

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


How much do you know about the banking system and who prints the money you carry in your pocket? Considering the vital role money plays both in our individual lives and in the world, our educational system teaches us amazingly little about how money is created, how banks operate, and what causes the huge banking scandals and bankruptcies that have occurred. After reading the information below, you will understand why this information is kept quiet and why we feel it is important to reveal these major banking cover-ups. The world's wealthiest bankers guard their secrets very closely.

WantToKnow.info specializes in using only the most reliable information available to reveal what is going on behind the scenes in a number of key areas. Because of the lack of quality information, we have previously published very little on banking and financial cover-ups. However, as this key topic is essential to understanding the big picture, we present here the best information we have found on the secrets of the banking world. The sources are not up to our normal high standards, yet we believe you will find the information highly useful. By using the links provided for verification, you can find strong evidence in support of all that is presented here.

First, we recommend these revealing free documentaries on the banking cover-up:

http://video.google.com/videosearch?q=%22monopoly+men%22 - Monopoly Men (47 minutes)

http://video.google.com/videosearch?q=moneymasters - Money Masters (209 minutes, transcript available here)

For another version of the first documentary, click here. Both of these fact-filled documentaries have been given a very rare rating of five out of five stars by Google Video viewers. These films, though they have some weaknesses, do an excellent job of introducing and educating viewers to key, little-known facts which impact our global economy and politics. We encourage you to have a healthy skepticism of what is presented, yet also to have an open mind to the possibility that much of what is presented is based on verifiable evidence.

The Federal Reserve: Neither Truly Federal Nor a Full Reserve

Do you know who prints the money in your wallet or purse? Take a look at the top of any U.S. bills and you will find 'Federal Reserve Note' printed along the top. In a small black circle on the left side of these notes, you will read 'United States Federal Reserve System.' It is the Federal Reserve which prints all bank notes in the United States. Yet who owns the Federal Reserve?

Though the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve is categorized as an independent government agency, 'The Fed' is not owned by the government. In Lewis v. United States, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit stated that 'the Reserve Banks are not federal instrumentalities for purposes of the FTCA [the Federal Tort Claims Act], but are independent, privately owned and locally controlled corporations.' To verify this fact, please see the Ninth Circuit's decision 680 F.2d 1239 at the end of paragraph five. The same decision in paragraph 13 states, 'Reserve Banks, as privately owned entities, receive no appropriated funds from Congress.'

It's quite revealing that though the official website of the Federal Reserve contains a detailed description of the Federal Reserve that is over 20 pages in length, ownership of the Federal Reserve Banks is never even mentioned. Could it be that this information is conveniently withheld to keep the public from understanding who owns the banks which issue all U.S. dollars?

Though Federal Reserve Board members are appointed by the U.S. President and confirmed by the Senate, the Federal Reserve is a privately owned institution controlled mainly by large private banks. Once board members are appointed, the U.S. government has no control over their decisions other than the president's ability to remove a board member. Yet a study of the history and functions of the Federal Reserve reveals that powerful bankers such as J.P. Morgan have had inordinate power and control over the formation and management of the monetary policy of the United States through their power over the Fed. Congress has virtually no influence over this incredibly powerful institution.

Neither does the Fed have reserves to back all of the credit it issues. None of the money in circulation is backed by anything of real value such as gold or silver. The backing of U.S. currency by a gold standard was removed under President Nixon in 1971. In fact, the Fed, like all banks, at any one time has only 3 to 10% of all credit issued held in reserve as bank notes. So the Federal Reserve is neither truly federal, nor a full reserve. It is not owned or directly controlled by the United States government. The fact that the words 'United States Federal Reserve System' are printed on every U.S. bank note thus raises serious questions.

The foundation for the Federal Reserve system was crafted in the utmost secrecy in 1910 at the Jekyll Island resort by several powerful men with very close ties to the Rockefellers, the J.P. Morgan family, and the Rothschilds — the richest and most powerful families in the world at that time. A version of the legislation crafted eventually passed in 1913 over the objections of many who feared that turning over control of the nation's money supply to a consortium of private bankers would inevitably only produce more riches for the ultra rich at the expense of the general public.

Virtually everyone agrees that the Fed is highly secretive. Wikipedia lists other criticisms of the Federal Reserve in the below two paragraphs:

'A large and varied group of criticisms have been directed against the Federal Reserve System. One group of criticisms, typified by the Austrian School, criticize the Federal Reserve as unnecessary and counterproductive interference in the economy. Other arguments include arguments in favor of the gold standard and criticisms of an alleged lack of accountability or culture of secrecy within the Reserve. Finally, a group of conspiracy theories make various charges against the Federal Reserve, generally claiming the Federal Reserve System is actually a scheme to enrich a few wealthy bankers at the expense of the public.'

'Economists of the Austrian School such as Ludwig von Mises contend that the Federal Reserve's artificial manipulation of the money supply leads to the boom/bust business cycle that has occurred over the last century. Many economic libertarians ... believe that the Federal Reserve's manipulation of the money supply to stop 'gold flight' from England caused, or was instrumental in causing, the Great Depression.

'Nobel Economist Milton Friedman said he 'prefer[s] to abolish the federal reserve system altogether.' [13]. Ben Bernanke, Chairman of the Board of Governors of Federal Reserve, stated: 'I would like to say to Milton [Friedman] and Anna [J. Schwartz]: Regarding the Great Depression. You're right, we did it. We're very sorry. But thanks to you, we won't do it again.' [22] [23]'

The Fractional Reserve System: Creating Money Out of Thin Air

Another aspect of banking about which most people know little to nothing is the fractional reserve system. Fractional-reserve banking refers to the common banking practice of issuing more money than the bank holds as reserves. Banks in modern economies typically loan their customers many times the sum of the cash reserves that they hold.' Did you know that for every dollar in your checking or savings account, the bank can legally loan out $10 or more?

Here's a description of the origins of fraction reserve banking from a standard university macroeconomics text [1]:

'When the ancients began to use gold in making transactions, it became apparent that it was both unsafe and inconvenient for consumers and merchants to carry gold and have it weighed and assessed for purity every time a transaction was negotiated. It therefore became commonplace to deposit one's gold with goldsmiths whose vaults or strongrooms could be used for a fee. Upon receiving a gold deposit, the goldsmith issued a receipt to the depositor. Soon goods were traded for the goldsmiths' receipts and the receipts became the first kind of paper money.

'At this point the goldsmiths – embryonic bankers – used a 100% reserve system; their circulating paper money receipts were fully backed by gold. But, given the public's acceptance of the goldsmiths' receipts as paper money, the goldsmiths became aware that the gold they stored was rarely redeemed. Then some adroit banker hit on the idea that paper money could be issued in excess of the amount of gold held. Goldsmiths [then began to issue] additional 'receipts' ... into circulation by making interest-earning loans in the form of gold receipts. This was the beginning of the fractional reserve system of banking.'

The college text from which the above quote is taken does not question the propriety of goldsmiths creating these new 'receipts' or money without any gold backing, without any authority, and indeed without any real reason to do so other than to enrich themselves. In fact, the text even praises the questionable behavior of the one who began this hidden form of corruption as 'adroit.'

The unsuspecting public had no idea that goldsmiths were issuing paper receipts accepted as money which were backed by no gold deposits at all for ten times or more the amount of gold that had been entrusted to them. The goldsmiths were secretly creating money out of thin air. They thus made themselves fantastically wealthy without anyone noticing what was going on. In order to better hide this deceit and divert people's attention, the goldsmiths stopped their old practice of charging for storing gold and instead began to pay customers a small interest on their gold deposits to keep them happy. Thus it was that modern day bankers were born.

Amazingly, the system has changed little today. Macroeconomics professors, college texts, and all involved with banking almost never question the ethics or morality of this fractional reserve system. No one even questions in any meaningful way the ethics and corruption involved in creating money out of thin air. In fact, the fractional reserve system was formalized into law centuries ago and continues to be both legal and the accepted common practice around the world today.

Have you ever wondered how banks can afford to own those massive buildings downtown if they are only charging 15% or so on loans and paying 5% in interest on deposits? If bankers were not allowed to create money out of thin air, they would be making only 10% or so a year on every loan they issued, far from enough to build the towering skyscrapers owned by banks in practically every major city. But by creating credit (money) using the fractional reserve system, bankers can legally claim credit to 10 times or more the amount of any loan. Now you can understand the foundation upon which global banking empires are built.

As this system has been used for centuries by every country in the world, it clearly works to maintain a relatively stable economic order. We are not in the least advocating a dramatic change of this system. We do, however, feel that suppressing and otherwise hiding this key information is a massive deception which does not serve the public and only serves to allow the bankers to easily become excessively powerful and corrupt. You can help to inform others of what is going on by educating yourself with the above videos and spreading the word on the banking and financial cover-up. Thanks for caring.

Iran: Much Ado About Nothing?

By William Blum

Our IDF

By Gideon Levy

It's a good thing we have Shayetet 13. Operating at the crack of dawn - or was it before nightfall? - the daring naval commandos fearlessly took control of a rusty, rickety, unarmed boat bobbing in the middle of the sea. That's exactly why we have a naval commando force - to take control of ships offering humanitarian aid. Behold, the guardian of Israel neither slumbers nor sleeps.

Obama Takes Bush's Plutocratic-Socialism to the Next Leve

As the federal government and the two-party regime running it have become ever more corrupt, the bubbles have become ever larger and more frequent.

Is There Life After Democracy?

By Arundhati Roy

What happens once democracy has been used up? When it has been hollowed out and emptied of meaning? What happens when each of its institutions has metastasised into something dangerous? What happens now that democracy and the Free Market have fused into a single predatory organism with a thin, constricted imagination that revolves almost entirely around the idea of maximising profit?

The Crooks Get Cash While the Poor Get Screwed

By Chris Hedges

Tearyan Brown became a father when he was 16. He did what a lot of inner-city kids desperate to make money do. He sold drugs. He was arrested and sent to jail three years later for dealing marijuana and PCP on the streets of Trenton, N.J., mostly to white kids driving in from the suburbs. It was a job which saw him robbed at gunpoint and stabbed in the chest. But it made him about $1,400 a week.

CLAIMING YOUR ANCESTORS LANDS --- ALLODIAL ISSUES.....

The following article was posted in the IOLANI - The Royal Hawk.

This message is being sent again because the EXHIBIT section was not covered.

The legal documents should contain the following in the following order:

1) Cover page (covers ancestors name, RP/Royal Patent Number, LCA/ Land Commission Award number

2) Affidavit/Certification (family genealogies)

3) Heirs and Assigns page

4) EXHIBITS (Write EXHIBITS in top right hand corner):
a. RP/Royal Patent LCA/Land Commission Award brief history (shows names of deceased owners and successors)
b. Survey Notes (obtain from the Archives, Honolulu, Oahu, Hawaii) which shows the map, dimensions of the land(s). (ask the Archivist how to obtain your survey notes..... also ask how to look at the books available documenting awards from the Great Mahele/ Kamehameha III period, an extra step to take is to find out the testimonies in regards to the parcel(s)/lands belonging to your families.

5) JURAT, NOTARY page

6) Xerox two (2) or more sets. The notary usually wants to do only two (2) for a set. If more copies are needed for family members, you could make copies after the notary signs the documents, and even after the filing is completed.

7) obtain a notary signature from your Credit Union, bank --- First Hawaiian Bank has a preferred customer account that you may be able to qualify for......worth it because the cost of a Notary will be nothing/free..........at the Credit Unions and some banks also give free notary signature......cousin paid about $50 a couple of weeks ago ---$5 per notary signature.

8) take the two (2) sets of documents to the Bureau of Conveyances, Regular System section and pay $25 for a set which covers up to 20 pages. Any amount of pages over 20 will cost $1 per page.

9) The Bureau of Conveyances located on Punchbowl Street is open in the mornings till 3:30 p.m. They do not accept documents later than that time. (Mondays-Fridays (Holidays closed)).

SOMETHINGS WRONG WITH THE WORLD RIGHT NOW.............No thanks to the U.S.

If the U.S. did not support and conspire against our neutral nation - the Kingdom of Hawaii, our Queen, and our people, and did not steal our assets, occupy our lands, etc.....they would not have breached the law of nations, would not have made nuclear bombs to destroy good people....... and would not have to resort to lies claiming peace, friendships around the world...........the ills of a pirate nation continues in Hawaii, the criminal mecca of the U.S.....and all can see it now.........................the U.S. are belligerent occupiers and appears to be egging on Nations to destroy more innocents with the targets here no thanks to the underground bunkers loaded with nuclear bombs..........the U.S. FAILS to understand that a neutral nation exists and respect for others are supported by the Kingdom of Hawaii's Royal families..........rents and leases are due - $500 Trillion dollars per year retroactive to 1893 and the cleanup, removal of military arms mucking up our Neutral nation.

Do not hide behind the skirts of a neutral, non-violent nation.
Armageddon is intended by the wicked ones, but don't include us, innocent, Neutral, non-violent, Ancient societies with people of color who loves our creator. -the real aloha.

SAVE FOR YOUR FILES - IMPORTANT - Updated July 1, 2009



Reasons Why the entity

State of Hawaii is Totally Illegal

-Discovered by Researchers-

compiled by Amelia Gora (2009)



1810 - Kamehameha formed the Monarchy government.

1819 - Kamehameha died leaving wives and children.

1820 - Mercenaries/Missionaries arrived to steal lands, monies, enslaven people of color.

1822 - Secret Treaty of Verona - supported by Austria, France, Russia, Prussia, U.S., England and the Vatican.

Intent was to break down Monarchy/Monarchical governments worldwide.

1824+ Kaananiau Property rights/ancient Hawaiian law and traditional practices.

Ref: Tom Lenchanko, Alika Poe Silva, Ohana: Paulo Kamakakehau, Josephine Rabago, Calvin Kaaa o Kahekili Santos, Talbot David Peleioholani George, Keahi L., Amelia Gora, and Kanaloa Kanaina Kakino Koko - Meeting at OHA/ Office of Hawaiian Affairs requesting for $100,000 attorney's cost in processing "a strategy to block the sale of the so-called Ceded Lands", etc. 2:00 PM, January 30, 2009.

1848 - Great Mahele.

1870 - "A pair of U.S. Army officers helped put across a treaty of reciprocity shortly thereafter. Major General J.M. Schofield and Lt. Col. B. A. Alexander visited

Hawaii in 1873, under secret orders to study its defensive capacity. The report they filed in Washington recommended that Hawaii be allowed to ship

sugar to the United States free of tariff, in exchange for giving America rights to Pearl Harbor and a strip of land all around it. A treaty containing

these provisions went into effect in 1875."

Important note: A fraud deed was brought out in Condemnation Case pertaining to Halawa Ahupuaa affecting Pearl Harbor. The deed was signed by

King David Kalakaua deeding the lands to Grace Kamaikui and Mataio Kekuanaoa, both were ancestors. The questions asked: How is it

possible for King Kalakaua to deed lands to two deceased people. The deed was dated 1876 and Grace Kamaikui had died in 1866, and her

husband - the father of Paalua (k); Lot Kamehameha/Kamehameha V; Alexander Liholiho/Kamehameha IV; Victoria Kamamalu; Moses Kekuaiwa; etals. -

Mataio Kekuanaoa died in 1868. They both had died 8-9 years prior to the deed!

The message and truth of it all is that millions died needlessly, the claims by the U.S. over PEARL HARBOR IS A FRAUD! The 'Rule of Law'

does not exist in the occupier's PIRATES court because the Jude of the case was complemented and awarded with a Federal Judge position

shortly after the case!

1892 - Benjamin F. Tracy, U.S. representative met with Thurston in Makua on the 'preliminary contemplation of dethroning the Queen'.

Ref: Affidavit/Lient/Notice No. 96-177455 filed on 12/17/96 (281 pages), Bureau of Conveyances, Honolulu, Oahu, Hawaii.

Hundreds of Masons/Freemasons gathered and paraded in our Hawaiian islands claiming they were in their 'home city'. Masons and Freemasons were set in place to break down Monarchy governments worldwide.

American Civil War generals documented in Hawaii. Most were Confederates on assignment to make themselves look better in their government's eyes.

Ref: PIRATES OF THE PACIFIC: Charles Reed Bishop and Friends

- In Washington, D.C., Dr. Mott-Smith, Thomas Akaka, and Lorrin Thurston did plan, and conspire to dethrone the Queen. Secret letters to

the President were also made.

Note: There's another Akaka in Washington, D.C. conspiring against the descendants and heirs of the Ruling Chiefs in Hawaii, and his name is Senator

Daniel Akaka with his compadre one-armed bandit Daniel Inouye, Central Pacific bank owner-investor whose bank is one of the 25 largest in

the U.S. with support from Japan's Sumitomo Bank, international bankers seeking to pass the 'AKAKA BILL' - providing private properties to the U.S.

once and for all.............note that the Bankers are bankrupt and Inouye recently obtained Corporate Welfare from Obama's administration -

TV News, June 30, 2009 - 10:00 news. Inouye did not want to answer the questions about how much interest he had in CPB/ Central Pacific Bank.

1893- January 9. U.S./Congress gave a standing order for the U.S. citizens in the Hawaiian Islands to assume Hawaii -which meant to dethrone the Queen. This was a planned/premeditated maneuver to assume land, monies, etc. from a friendly nation.

Ref: Shane Lee researcher, NEW YORK TIMES article, "Pearl Harbor Coaling Station. Imperative Necessity That The United States Take Possession", January 9, 1893.

- January 15. "Men from the cruiser Boston poured ashore on January 15 "to protect American lives and property," according to United States Minister

John L. Stevens. The action came a day before the committee of safety took possession of the government office building and abrogated the

monarchy, forcing Queen Liliuokalani from her throne."

"Judge Sanford B. Dole was appointed head of the provisional government with authority to negotiate for the annexation of Hawaii to the United States.

A treaty was signed in Washington February 14, but the Senate refused to vote on it. On the advice of his Cabinet, newly inaugurated President

Cleveland withdrew the treaty from the Senate and sent Commissioner Blount to the islands to find the reasons for the monarchy's overthrow.

Blount informed Cleveland that Stevens had conspired with rebels to oust the Queen." - out of the CHRONICLE OF AMERICA.



- January 16. Queen Liliuokalani destroyed the Constitution, dethroned by Americans who premeditated the criminal assumption of a neutral, non-violent nation recognized in the Law of Nations.

-January 31. U.S. President Benjamin Harrison used his Executive Orders to refute the Bill passed by both House and Senate to prosecute criminals on the high seas.

Note: We are on the high seas! The true term of criminals on the high seas are PIRATES! ---Pirates on the high seas!

President Harrison was a former American Civil War General overseeing the other Civil War Generals under orders to assist their country --- the Confederate Generals/ officers were given opportunities to serve their country or serve time in prison. To date, there were approximately 8 American Civil War Generals/officers operating in

Hawaii during the period.

Additionally, President Harrisons vice President was an expert in monetary transfers, a bank owner who returned to his bank after their term was up

and sold his bank to J.P. Morgan, the banker/investor for both the U.S. and England.

Both the U.S. and England were broke-ass and lost monies in the 1863-1865 American Civil War.

An American representative asked King Kalakaua and the House of Nobles for loans but were denied them because the U.S. would not have paid back

for thousands of years........only a fractional interest would be paid each year as interest.



So, it appears that the German Jews did loan the U.S. monies expecting 10% interest but most of the German Jews were killed in

World War II.........it appears that many of the current bank owners, investors are also made up of German Jews (research incomplete).



- December 19. A Joint Resolution To authorize the Secretary of War to grant permits for the use of the Monument grounds and reservations or public spaces in the City of Washington, and for other purposes.

Permits were granted to the Executive Committee, Knights of Pythias for temporary camping purposes, and the reservations or public spaces along the line of Pennsylvania Avenue for the "Pythian Conclave and Encampment...".

1894 - July 4. In the Court of Claims, a PETITION was filed by Kinney, Ballou, Prosser & Anderson attorneys for LILIUOKALANI vs. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

1894 - June 16. The entity "Provisional government" headed by Americans, former subjects of the Hawaiian Kingdom, conspirators/treasonous persons signed the Pearl Harbor Treaty with their U.S. government officials in Washington, D.C., by Secretary of State Sherman, representing the United States, and by Francis M. Hatch, Lorin A. Thurston, and William A. Kinney, special commissioners representing the Hawaiian government. It was sent to the senate the same day.

"The United States of America and the Republic of Hawaii, in view of the natural dependence of the Hawaiian islands upon the United States, of their geographical proximity thereto,k of the preponderant share acquired by the United States and its citizens in the industries and trade of said islands, and of the expressed desire of the government of the Republic of Hawaii that those islands should be incorporated into the United States as an integral part thereof and under its sovereignty, have determined to accomplish by treaty an object so important to their mutual and permanent welfare."

The treasonous persons "ceded" lands which they have no titles to, to the United States of America, which includes the transfers "to the United States the absolute fee and ownership of all public, government, or crown lands, publich buildings or edifices, ports, harbors, military equipments, and all other public property of every kind and description belonging to the government of the Hawaiian Islands..."

"The existing laws of the United States relative to public lands shall not apply to such lands in the Hawaiian islands; but the congress of the United States shall enact special laws for their management and disposition...."

Secretary Sherman's report:

"...an abrupt revolutionary movement had brought about the dethronement of the late queen, and set up instead of the theretofore titular monarchy a provisional government...such government to exist only until terms of union with the United States should have been negotiated and agreed upon."

"As time passed on and the plan of union with the United States became an uncertain contingency, the organization of the Hawaiian commenwealth underwent necessary changes. The temporary character of its first government gave place to a permanent scheme under a constitution framed by the representatives of the electors of the islands..."

1895 - January 7. Queen Liliuokalani "was arrested for no specific charged offense, taken by force, and confined alone in the Iolani Palace....She was told that those she dearly loved, personal friends, were awaiting execution, and the only act which would save their lives was an act of abdication to be signed by her....To save those she loved she executed the document you publish. It was an act consummated under the plainest kind of duress, void even had it been legally executed."

Ref: WASHINGTON EVENING STAR "The Republic of Hawaii" February 12, 1897/98



Queen Liliuokalani documented protests against annexation:

"I declare such treaty to be an act of wrong toward the native and part native people of Hawaii, an invasion of the rights of the ruling chiefs...."

Ref: WASHINGTON EVENING STAR "The Republic of Hawaii" February 12, 1897/98

"...a certain treaty which so I am informed has been signed at Washington by Messrs. Hatch, Thurston and Kinney purporting to cede those Islands to the territory and dominion of the United States.

OHA CEDED LANDS


Supreme Court Decision, January 31, 2008

Office of Hawaiian Affairs v. Housing and Community
Development Corporation of Hawai'i (HCDCH)
CONCLUSION

Based on the foregoing, we hold that: (1) the Apology Resolution and related state legislation, give rise to the State's fiduciary duty to preserve the corpus of the public lands trust, specifically, the ceded lands, until such time as the unrelinquished claims of the native Hawaiians have been resolved; (2) the trial court correctly determined that this court's unpublished decision in Trustees of the Office of Hawaiian Affairs v. Board of Land and Natural Resources, No. 19774 (Haw. Mar. 12, 1998) (mem.), did not collaterally estop the plaintiffs' claims in this case inasmuch as the elements of collateral estoppel, see Keahole Def. Coal., Inc. v. Bd. of Land & Natural Res., 110 Hawai'i 419, 429, 134 P.3d 585, 595 (2006), are not present; (3) the plaintiffs' claim for injunctive relief with regard to the Leiali'i parcel is not barred by sovereign immunity based on our conclusion that the $31 million expenditure on infrastructure for the Leiali'i parcel had only an ancillary effect -- albeit a substantial one -- on the state treasury, see Kahoohanohano v. State, 114 Hawai'i 302, 337, 162 P.3d 696, 731 (2007); (4) inasmuch as the Apology Resolution and related state legislation give rise to a fiduciary duty by the State, as trustee, to preserve the corpus of the public lands trust until such time as the unrelinquished claims of the native Hawaiians have been resolved, the trial court's conclusion that OHA's actions between 1987 and 1994 constituted a waiver of the plaintiffs' claims was clearly erroneous and, therefore, the plaintiffs did not waive their claim for injunctive relief with regard to the Leiali'i parcel; (5) the plaintiffs were not estopped from challenging the transfer of the Leiali'i parcel based on their pre-1993 actions because it was not until the Apology Resolution was signed into law on November 23, 1993 that the plaintiffs' claim regarding the State's explicit fiduciary duty to preserve the corpus of the public lands trust arose; (6) inasmuch as the plaintiffs' requested relief is clearly prospective in nature, the plaintiffs' claims with regard to the sale or transfer of the ceded lands in general are not barred by sovereign immunity; (7) the question whether an injunction is appropriate to allow resolution of the plaintiffs' unrelinquished claims without further diminishment of the trust res is ripe for adjudication; (8) the question whether an injunction should issue presents a type of dispute that is traditionally resolved by the courts and, therefore, does not present a non-justiciable political question; (9) the appropriate test in this jurisdiction for determining whether a permanent injunction is proper is: (a) whether the plaintiff has prevailed on the merits; (b) whether the balance of irreparable damage favors the issuance of a permanent injunction; and (c) whether the public interest supports granting such an injunction; and (10) the plaintiffs have established that injunctive relief is proper pending final resolution of native Hawaiian claims through the political process.

Accordingly, we vacate the trial court's January 31, 2003 judgment and remand this case to the circuit court with instructions to issue an order granting the plaintiffs' request for an injunction against the defendants from selling or otherwise transferring to third parties (1) the Leiali'i parcel and (2) any other ceded lands from the public lands trust until the claims of the native Hawaiians to the ceded lands have been resolved.

Bumpy Kanahele Nation of Hawaii Response & Objection
to the Hawaii Supreme Court OHA Ceded Lands Decision








February 08, 2008

OBJECTION to OHA Ceded Lands Settlement Regarding SB 2733 & HB 2701

NOTICE TO ALL LEGISLATORS TO IMMEDIATELY CEASE AND DESIST
Any and all legislation past, present and future regarding the political, economic, social and cultural status of native Hawaiians.

EXCERPTS FROM THE SUPREME COURT DECISION, JANUARY 31, 2008
The Hawaii Supreme Court has concluded that "injunctive relief" is proper pending final resolution of native Hawaiian claims through the political process.

Furthermore, the Hawaii Supreme Court holds that: The Apology Resolution and related state legislation, give rise to the state's fiduciary duty to preserve the corpus of the public lands trust, specifically, the ceded lands, until such time as the unrelinquished claims of the native Hawaiians have been resolved.

SOLUTION
Injunction on SB 2733 & HB 2701 until such time as the political process of the Native Hawaiian people is resolved.

ELECTORAL PROCESS
Native Hawaiian People need a substantial period of time in which they can engage freely and without fear of threat or intimidation in the processes of educating and publicly debating among themselves, with meaningful access to the mainstream news media in Hawaii, regarding the various options available to them including but not limited to: Integration - Free Association - Independence - Restoration of Independence

In order to guarantee a free, fair, impartial, and objective electoral process in accordance with historically recognized international standards and procedures, such a process must be supervised by the United Nations Organization, i.e., UN observers.

It must be guaranteed, before the process begins, that the will of the Native Hawaiian people is determinative (has the power to determine) and will be honored and respected whatever the results might be, including restoration and independence.

Summary

Ronald Reagan, 40th U.S. President, said in his farewell speech:

"If we forget what we were, we won't know who we are. I am waning of an eradication of the American memory that could result, ultimately, in an erosion of the American spirit....

after 200 years, two centuries, she (America) still stands strong and true on the granite ridge, and her glow has held steady no matter what storm. And

she's still a beacon, still a magnet for all who must have freedom, for all the Pilgrims from all the lost places who are hurtling through the

darkness, toward home."

Perhaps it is now time for the Americans to deoccupy our Hawaiian Islands and return to their home.

The entity State of Hawaii parading under the facade of a "government" fails to meet the basic needs of their own citizens, the failure to protect the health, lives,

and safety; instead, encourage the detonation of toxic, contaminants affecting the air that we breathe. The use of DU/depleted uranium in our environment is

meant to exterminate all in the vicinity. DU/depleted uranium is used in Pohakuloa, Big Island; Makua, Oahu; and Schofield, Oahu.

Americans in Hawaii: Do you honestly believe that the entity State of Hawaii, or the U.S. gives a damn about you or your loved ones? Did you know that

there are more than six (6) underground cities set up for their own use (and NOT YOURS?)



Maka Ala! Wake Up people! --- why should you support documented PIRATES ON THE HIGH SEAS? Reread the above because the conclusion is that the U.S.

did indeed support the PIRATING of a neutral, non-violent, friendly nation, planned, supported the criminal assumption, and try to hide behind a doctored/ white-washed

history intended to deceive the people over time..........all in the Hawaiian Islands, and the WORLD today!



Articles in the past showed that Scoundrels, Belials, Sex Offenders, Malicious, Violent Castouts were the Pilgrims who ventured off to America,

the homeless criminals setting forward to assume lands belonging to the aboriginal peoples. Even today, the movements are the same with the prodding,

encouragement.....or Plundering first by the military in defense of the Corporate scoundrels looking for free oil, lands, etc. belonging to others. Talk is cheap

when quoting the 'Rule of Law' when we all know that the Destruction of the Nation - U.S. started within, the Raping of the Constitution, the Lynching

of America by the Supreme Court of the United States progresses. The U.S. has broken so many treaties as well. The U.S. breached the Law of Nations

and moved to form organizations (with England, and the bankers forming the CFR/Council on Foreign Relations which started the United Nations moving towards

One World Order/New World Order).........become empowered with knowledge, be aware.



Queen Liliuokalani did state that if the U.S. fails to make corrections, they will fall apart. Our Queen was under duress - duress negates all

claims, contracts, etc. Will the 'Rule of Law' actually be respected by the PIRATES, occupiers..........When will the Americans take back their government or

will the new Americans ---those without criminal backgrounds----be the ones to lead and take back the controls from the Corporations who continue to affect

the health of the World?



Meanwhile pertaining to Hawaii:

This article should be kept with "WHAT EVERY KANAKA MAOLI NEEDS TO KNOW" as well.

A Tribunal needs to be formed to adjudicate the criminals/conspirator's/terrorists of our Queen, government, people.

Although the criminals are now deceased, we need to declare them to have been conspirator's, treasonous persons. Ramifications continue due to the ongoing perpetuation of frauds, deviance, etc. which has been the cause of non-bloods enrichening themselves at our families expense, etc.

Grant 973, for example, has stipulations that the land could not be sold to foreign governements, etc. A Tribunal needs to be formed, information disseminated and votes on which escheats the entire grant to the Hawaiian government, the Kingdom of Hawaii/ Hawaiian Kingdom/He Mokupuni Pae Aina o Hawaii.

Adjudication of the Trusts is also suggested. Evidence to be introduced are Frauds uncovered/ discovered on genealogies, etc. Also, heirs can/may be shown through research.

Recording in the Kingdom of Hawaii files is a necessary part, Notice of Service to the U.S. President, Congress, Lingle, etals.

Movement towards monetary trusts, etc. can be moved on after other nations are informed (real soon).

Tomgram: Dahr Jamail, A Secret History of Dissent in the All-Volunteer Military
The All-Volunteer Force (AVF) exists for a reason captured in a study by Colonel Robert D. Heinl, Jr., author of the "definitive history of the Marine Corps," published in Armed Forces Journal in 1971. The U.S. military in Vietnam was at that moment at the edge of chaos. As Colonel Heinl put it, it was experiencing "widespread conditions... that have only been exceeded in this century by the French Army's Nivelle mutinies of 1917 and the collapse of the Tsarist armies [of Russia] in 1916 and 1917."

In fact, statistics flowing back to Washington about the American war machine in Vietnam then pointed toward an unimaginable nightmare. Drug use was rampant; desertions stood at 70 per thousand, a modern high; small-scale mutinies or "combat refusals" were at critical, if untabulated, levels; incidents of racial conflict had soared; and strife between "lifers" and draftees was at unprecedented levels. Reported "fraggings" -- assassination attempts -- against unpopular officers or NCOs had risen from 126 in 1969 to 333 in 1971, despite declining troop strength in Vietnam. According to Colonel Heinl's figures, as many as 144 antiwar underground newspapers were being published by, or for, soldiers. And most threatening of all, active duty soldiers in relatively small numbers (as well as a swelling number of Vietnam veterans) were beginning to actively organize against the war.

When, in January 1973, before the war was even over, President Richard Nixon announced that an American draft army was at an end and an all-volunteer force would be created, this was why. The U.S. military was in the wilderness without a compass, having discovered one crucial thing: you couldn't fight an endless, unpopular counterinsurgency war with the kind of conscript army a democracy had to offer. What resulted, of course, was the AVF, a moniker that, as Andrew Bacevich has written in his book The New American Militarism, was but "a euphemism for what is, in fact, a professional army... [that] does not even remotely 'look like' democratic America." Citizenship and the obligation to serve were now officially severed and, from the 1980s on, most Americans would ever more vigorously cheer on the AVF from the sidelines, while it would be a force theoretically purged of possible Vietnam-style dissent and refusal.

In that sense, it could be considered a success. We've now been at war seven and a half years in Afghanistan and more than five in Iraq, two catastrophic counterinsurgency struggles, and yet a Vietnam-style movement has neither arisen in the military, nor for that matter in the streets of what's now called "the homeland." But as TomDispatch regular Dahr Jamail indicates below and in his new book, The Will To Resist: Soldiers Who Refuse to Fight in Iraq and Afghanistan, dissent has proved irrepressible. With the generous support of the Nation Institute's Investigative Fund, Jamail has produced a report on the seeds of refusal and dissent in the military that may -- in a quagmire future in Afghanistan and possibly Iraq -- grow into something far larger.

Surveyors collect the nation's data and statisticians compile and report it. Politicians naturally want the numbers to show improvement. Not being able to change the facts, they focus on the handling of facts, pressuring statisticians to change their measurements. It's not quite one grand conspiracy but decades of minor ones compiled. Today's reports are so perverted, the theory holds, that the numbers have detached from common experience.

Amnesty International:

From: "Amnesty International USA"
To: "amelia gora"
Date: Tue, 30 Jun 2009 14:17:15 -0700
Subject: Troy Davis decision postponed!


Dear amelia,

Yesterday the U.S. Supreme Court delayed a decision on whether to grant Troy Davis an appeal until after it returns from recess in September. The court's decision (or non-decision) should be taken as a good sign. It gives us hope that at least some Supreme Court Justices may finally be waking up to the strong claims of innocence in this case and want to take more time to weigh the facts.

We are convinced that if the justices agree to hold a hearing and allow all evidence to be weighed, then they will come to see what we have known all along – the pieces just don't add up. When Davis was sentenced to death for the 1989 shooting of a police officer in Savannah, there was an absence of any physical evidence against him. Furthermore, the majority of witnesses who testified against him then, have now recanted or changed their stories altogether.

Troy's case continues to inspire the support of millions of activists and countless leaders speaking on behalf of human rights, including former President Jimmy Carter and Archbishop Desmond TuTu.

Our activism has already put the U.S. Supreme Court and Georgia officials on the fence. Now we've got to do all we can these next couple of months to guarantee justice for Troy Davis!

Join the thousands in Savannah, Georgia who are calling for the new District Attorney to reopen Troy's case. Then, forward the link onto everyone you know!

Troy's life continues to be saved because of people like you who take the time to make the difference.

Thank you,

–Laura Moye, Death Penalty Abolition Campaign Director

CLAIMING YOUR ANCESTORS LANDS --- ALLODIAL ISSUES.....

The following article was posted in the IOLANI - The Royal Hawk.

This message is being sent again because the EXHIBIT section was not covered.

The legal documents should contain the following in the following order:

1) Cover page (covers ancestors name, RP/Royal Patent Number, LCA/ Land Commission Award number

2) Affidavit/Certification (family genealogies)

3) Heirs and Assigns page

4) EXHIBITS (Write EXHIBITS in top right hand corner):
a. RP/Royal Patent LCA/Land Commission Award brief history (shows names of deceased owners and successors)
b. Survey Notes (obtain from the Archives, Honolulu, Oahu, Hawaii) which shows the map, dimensions of the land(s). (ask the Archivist how to obtain your survey notes..... also ask how to look at the books available documenting awards from the Great Mahele/ Kamehameha III period, an extra step to take is to find out the testimonies in regards to the parcel(s)/lands belonging to your families.

5) JURAT, NOTARY page

6) Xerox two (2) or more sets. The notary usually wants to do only two (2) for a set. If more copies are needed for family members, you could make copies after the notary signs the documents, and even after the filing is completed.

7) obtain a notary signature from your Credit Union, bank --- First Hawaiian Bank has a preferred customer account that you may be able to qualify for......worth it because the cost of a Notary will be nothing/free..........at the Credit Unions and some banks also give free notary signature......cousin paid about $50 a couple of weeks ago ---$5 per notary signature.

8) take the two (2) sets of documents to the Bureau of Conveyances, Regular System section and pay $25 for a set which covers up to 20 pages. Any amount of pages over 20 will cost $1 per page.

9) The Bureau of Conveyances located on Punchbowl Street is open in the mornings till 3:30 p.m. They do not accept documents later than that time. (Mondays-Fridays (Holidays closed)).

aloha and malama pono.

p.s. Kindly disperse info/e-mail(s) to all your families/friends/other Hawaiian aboriginal /kanaka maoli.

editorial and post to President Obama, etals.,

SOMETHINGS WRONG WITH THE WORLD RIGHT NOW.............No thanks to the U.S.

If the U.S. did not support and conspire against our neutral nation - the Kingdom of Hawaii, our Queen, and our people, and did not steal our assets, occupy our lands, etc.....they would not have breached the law of nations, would not have made nuclear bombs to destroy good people....... and would not have to resort to lies claiming peace, friendships around the world...........the ills of a pirate nation continues in Hawaii, the criminal mecca of the U.S.....and all can see it now.........................the U.S. are belligerent occupiers and appears to be egging on Nations to destroy more innocents with the targets here no thanks to the underground bunkers loaded with nuclear bombs..........the U.S. FAILS to understand that a neutral nation exists and respect for others are supported by the Kingdom of Hawaii's Royal families..........rents and leases are due - $500 Trillion dollars per year retroactive to 1893 and the cleanup, removal of military arms mucking up our Neutral nation.

Do not hide behind the skirts of a neutral, non-violent nation.
Armageddon is intended by the wicked ones, but don't include us, innocent, Neutral, non-violent, Ancient societies with people of color who loves our creator. -the real aloha.

HOT, VICIOUS, VIOLENT, EVIL NEWS POSTED FOR OUR GOOD PEOPLE IN THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS:

Military Intends to Burn Up Pohakuloa, etc.

from Leuren Moret, Depleted Uranium expert

Date: Wednesday, June 24, 2009, 9:21 AM
> OK here are some
> very good reasons why military bombing ranges should not be
> burned OR developed as housing sites. The US govt. sells
> highly contaminated old bases and bombing ranges to
> developers for $1. Who else would buy them? Then the
> developers make billions of dollars on them and often sell
> the homes to minorities who soon die of horrible diseases
> from the residual toxins. This is a major aspect of the US
> National Policy to depopulate (genocide) minorities in the
> US. Hawaii is a major target. Native Hawaiian
> "homelands" (housing tracts) have been built on
> old bombing ranges, and Native Hawaiian schools have been
> placed directly downwind from the most toxic and
> contaminated sites. This is
> called the "hidden American genocide".
>
> The homes built on the Denver Bombing Range were sold to
> African Americans. Prof. Adrienne Anderson, Univ of
> Colorado at Boulder at that time, investigated deaths in
> those communities living in homes built on the Denver
> "Lowry" bombing range site. She found a large
> increase in deaths in teenagers from leukemia and other
> cancers - before they could even graduate from high
> school.
> If the Pohakaloa bombing range is burned, it
> will have the effect of depopulating the entire island of
> Hawaii, and neighboring islands as well as the plant and

Burning brush at Pohakaloa will remobilize DU/radiation and depopulate HawaiiWednesday, June 24, 2009 9:21 AM

from:leurenmoret

OK here are some very good reasons why military bombing ranges should not be burned OR developed as housing sites. The US govt. sells highly contaminated old bases and bombing ranges to developers for $1.

Who else would buy them?

Then the developers make billions of dollars on them and often sell the homes to minorities who soon die of horrible diseases from the residual toxins.

This is a major aspect of the US National Policy to depopulate (genocide) minorities in the US.

Hawaii is a major target.

Native Hawaiian 'homelands' (housing tracts) have been built on old bombing ranges, and Native Hawaiian schools have been placed directly downwind from the most toxic and contaminated sites. This is called the 'hidden American genocide'.

The homes built on the Denver Bombing Range were sold to African Americans. Prof. Adrienne Anderson, Univ of Colorado at Boulder at that time, investigated deaths in those communities living in homes built on the Denver 'Lowry' bombing range site. She found a large increase in deaths in teenagers from leukemia and other cancers - before they could even graduate from high school.


If the Pohakaloa bombing range is burned, it will have the effect of depopulating the entire island of Hawaii, and neighboring islands as well as the plant and animal populations.

I am convinced that the DOD is taking over the island of Hawaii for military expansion purposes and depopulation is one of the highest priorities on their agenda. The Native Hawaiians have confirmed this for me. But they will not be the only victims of any burning at Pohakaloa. Radiation respects no religion, no socio-economic class, and no borders.

DU is the weapon that keeps giving and keeps killing. There is no way to clean it up and no way to turn it off. It is the Trojan Horse of nuclear war.

aloha Mike,

I have questions about the statement quoted below from your reply regarding prescribed burns, and also some thoughts on metal fumes, oxidation aerosols, and the DU tracer phenemenon. I will send this around to invite comment.
What temperature would be required to ignite a one cm. shard from a DC spotter round?
Would not a grassfire reach that temperature?
What temperature would ignite a five inch long DC spotter round?
Aren't metal fumes vaporized uranium oxides? How could there be oxidation without oxidates, probably very fine ones, like vapor,as in nano particles? If mere heating below the temperature of full ignition is sufficient to release uranium oxides into the atmosphere, then we definitely need to include sub ignition scenarios in our hazard evaluation. Right? Pohakuloa is not a controlled environment, and all ionizing radiation is harmful....
I think there could be a problem with your analysis of the gun barrel tracer phenomenon.
I think the tracer is more than detached scrapings in the gun barrels ignited as a fine material produced by the scuffing. In the opening scene from Blowin in the Wind, I see a high velocity DU tank round (assuming this is the weapon) burning for like, a mile. I doubt that the little scrapings are going to be riding on a projectile moving at 2000 plus mph. I think the DU round is burning, a solid piece of DU. this is what the films of Fallujah suggest, too. I urge you to check out this point. I have a DVD of the battle of Fallujah if you are interested to see this phenomenon, reported also by many observers who were baffled by what kind of weapon it was.
In context, it was a poison gas weapon, illegal under the Geneva protocols signed by the US.

If you want my opinion, no, I would not set fire to land that had DU on it. Common sense precaution. I would remediate the areas as a kuleana, in fact that would be an incentive to succeed.
. Pohakuloa needs to be shut down immediately, per our moku resolution. That is the first step in this process. Do you agree, Mike?


Mahalo,
Doug

FEDERAL RESERVE MISSING TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS!
This message is available online at http://www.WantToKnow.info/banking_finance/elizabeth_coleman_fed_missing_trillions


Dear friends,

Elizabeth Coleman is the inspector general of the Federal Reserve of the United States, commonly referred to as the Fed. This is the little-understood institution which prints and regulates all U.S. money. As inspector general, the Federal Reserve website states Elizabeth Coleman is "responsible for preventing and detecting waste, fraud, and abuse." Yet in eye-opening, videotaped Congressional testimony, Fed Inspector General Coleman acknowledged that she can't account for many trillions – yes trillions – of dollars of taxpayers' money.

Do you know how much one trillion dollars is? It's over $3,000 for every man, woman, and child in the U.S. If you only count taxpayers, it's equivalent to $7,000 for every taxpayer. Yet Coleman acknowledges the Fed is not missing just $1 trillion, but many trillions of taxpayers' dollars. In the video clip she says she knows nothing about nine trillion dollars ($9,000,000,000,000) that is claimed to be unaccounted for. That's $63,000 for each taxpayer. It's also three times the amount of the entire annual federal budget of the United States missing in action! These numbers are simply staggering, yet they are getting amazingly little media coverage.

There are many other problems with the Federal Reserve, which by the way, is not really federal nor a true reserve. Members of the Fed's board of governors are appointed by the president, yet during their 14-year terms the U.S. president and Congress have no power over them. Even more revealing is the fact the the Fed is actually owned by the largest banks in the U.S. Take a look and see you if can find who owns the Fed on their website. They avoid talking about this. Nor does the Fed have a full reserve as most people would expect. You can verify and learn lots more about these and other unusual aspects of the Fed by clicking here.

If you care about the many thousands of missing dollars you personally have paid in taxes, you must watch the astonishing five-minute video clip and read the accompanying commentary I've posted at the link below. This is incredibly important information. And please let your friends and colleagues know about this. By informing caring citizens about what's going on behind the scenes with banking and with our tax dollars, we can create a powerful wave of concern which will force major change for the better in our world. Thank you for caring.

Bottom Up New Media and Different Perspectives on Iran


First half on the Bottom Up Revolution. A talk with Micah Sifry, co-organizer of the Personal Democracy Forum, the conference I'll be attending and covering next week. Check out details on it below. Micah is also a founder of Techpresident.com where some of the most fascinating conversations on the role of technology and politics take place.

The second half of the show will be a discussion on Iran with folks taking two different points of view-- for the revolution and the courageous protesters and for keeping the US the Ef out of interfering with other governments. Should be interesting and lively.

Abbas Sadeghian who wrote, Iranian Political Evolution; From Dictatorship to Corruption to Revolution will be on with Stephen Lendman who wrote Iran's Election and US - Iranian Elections





One or two passes available to a lucky OEN member/supporter

Next week, I'll be attending the Personal Democracy Forum, my second year attending. I am really looking forward to it because there's really no other place where the new media is discussed, explored, analyzed and understood. The conference, which takes place in an extraordinarily cordial venue in NYC, brings together an incredible collection of leaders in new media thinking-- media leaders from conventional print, net digerati like the web campaign managers from all the major presidential primary campaigns, writers like Jonathan Alter, Arrianna Huffington, founders of sites like meetup, craigslist, actblue, and visionaries in the future of the web and the media, like Jeff Jarvis, Clay Shirkey, Douglas Rushkoff, Vint Cerf, Seth Godin, Lawrence Lessig, Esther Dyson, Yochai Benkler, and then there are the bloggers/digital media leaders like Josh Marshall and Jane Hamsher. Other figures include Van Jones, Thomas Friedman, Tracy Russo, Elizabeth Edwards, Joe Trippi...

Last year, I had a chance to chat with a lot of these same people. They're accessible. OEN has established an arrangement with the conference. We'll be listed as sponsors in exchange for sending out this announcement, and I'll be publishing something like this too. That's a quid pro quo that's easy to do because my recommendation comes from the heart and head. I enjoyed the conference and was intellectually stimulated by it, enough so that it was totally worth my investment of time and money to attend.

Here's a bit more that the conference folks put together at my request. I agree with it all wholeheartedly and hope to see you there. Drop me an email if you want to attend.

We have two free passes for the conference. Tell us why we should give one of them to you. Contributions and volunteering count as good reasons, but will not be the only factor considered.




The Personal Democracy Forum (PdF) is being held June 29 and 30 at Lincoln Center Jazz Frederick P. Rose Hall and OpEdNews has arranged a special deal for you to attend. Read on.

The theme of this year’s conference is WE.gov and the focus is on how the enthusiasm in the use of the internet during the 2008 elections is now spilling into government and civic engagement. They expect over 1,000 people in attendance and they include professionals from the political, not-for-profit, and journalistic worlds.


They have an amazing array of speakers lined up for this year, including Frank Rich from the New York Times, Nate Silver from 538.com, Vivek Kundra – the White House CIO, the authors Clay Shirky and Jeff Jarvis, Craig Newmark from Craigslist, Randy Zuckrberg from Facebook, Joe Rospers – new media director of the Obama campaign, NYC Mayor Mike Bloomberg, and many others including some surprise guests. You can find out more here:

We highly recommend your participation at this year’s event because so many of the sessions are about subjects you will find interesting professionally and personally.
Among the topics being discussed are:

- State-of-the-art online politics

- Designing .gov for participation

- Twitter as a platform for organizing and fundraising

- The future of political journalism, blogging and network media

- How to use online video for political advocacy

- The rise of mobile politicking

- Rethinking media campaigns and organizations from the ground up

The conference schedule can be seen here: http://personaldemocracy.com/pdf-2009-schedule

The rate of registration is only a fraction of what other high quality technology conferences cost, and OpEdNews has arranged an additional discount with $100 off their already low “Early Bird” rate if you use the code: “OpEdNews” in the registration process.

In addition, attendees of the conference are being offered one year free membership in the PdF network, which is a new service we launched to give our community year-round access to the same high quality content and people who speak at our event.

Want to do something about it? Watch this video, then accept the challenge.

The Green Revolution(s)
There has been a lot of worthless chatter about what President Barack Obama should say about Iran’s incipient “Green Revolution.” Sorry, but Iranian reformers don’t need our praise.

The Truth About Obama's Birth Certificate
President Barack Obama has undergone all kinds of accusations and scrutiny about his place of birth. Right-wingnuts, also known as "birthers" have crowded our courts with lawsuit after lawsuit in an effort to have Obama declared to NOT be a "natural born citizen". They claim he was born in Kenya, never mind that his mother was NEVER in that country and there is ZERO evidence to prove she ever was.

Iranian People Demand Democracy
Neoconservatives and other con artists are now claiming to support the Iranian people. Some are the same people who pushed to bomb Iran preemptively just a few years ago.

Lingering Unemployment Likely to Challenge Obama and the Nation
The likelihood of severe unemployment extending into the 2010 midterm elections and beyond poses a significant political hurdle to President Obama and congressional Democrats, who are already under fire for what critics label profligate spending. Continuing high unemployment rates would undercut the fundamental argument behind much of that spending: the promise that it will create new jobs - Now 14 states over 10% unemployed

CLAIMING YOUR ANCESTORS LANDS --- ALLODIAL ISSUES.....

The following article was posted in the IOLANI - The Royal Hawk.

This message is being sent again because the EXHIBIT section was not covered.

The legal documents should contain the following in the following order:

1) Cover page (covers ancestors name, RP/Royal Patent Number, LCA/ Land Commission Award number

2) Affidavit/Certification (family genealogies)

3) Heirs and Assigns page

4) EXHIBITS (Write EXHIBITS in top right hand corner):
a. RP/Royal Patent LCA/Land Commission Award brief history (shows names of deceased owners and successors)
b. Survey Notes (obtain from the Archives, Honolulu, Oahu, Hawaii) which shows the map, dimensions of the land(s). (ask the Archivist how to obtain your survey notes..... also ask how to look at the books available documenting awards from the Great Mahele/ Kamehameha III period, an extra step to take is to find out the testimonies in regards to the parcel(s)/lands belonging to your families.

5) JURAT, NOTARY page

6) Xerox two (2) or more sets. The notary usually wants to do only two (2) for a set. If more copies are needed for family members, you could make copies after the notary signs the documents, and even after the filing is completed.

7) obtain a notary signature from your Credit Union, bank --- First Hawaiian Bank has a preferred customer account that you may be able to qualify for......worth it because the cost of a Notary will be nothing/free..........at the Credit Unions and some banks also give free notary signature......cousin paid about $50 a couple of weeks ago ---$5 per notary signature.

8) take the two (2) sets of documents to the Bureau of Conveyances, Regular System section and pay $25 for a set which covers up to 20 pages. Any amount of pages over 20 will cost $1 per page.

These are some of the reasons why our Hawaiians archipelago is not a State.

These are also some of the reasons why your President Obama is not legally American born.

1) The U.S. Premeditated the assumption of a neutral friendly non-violent nation.

2) The Kingdom of Hawaii passed the anti-slavery law in 1852:

'Art. 12. Slavery shall, under no circumstances whatever, be tolerated in the Hawaiian Islands; whenever a slave shall enter Hawaiian territory he shall be free; no person who imports a slave, or slaves, into the King's dominions shall ever enjoy anycivil or political rights in this realm; but involuntary servitude for the punishment of crime is allowable according to law.'


3) The U.S. claims to Pearl Harbor is based on a Fraud deed dated 1876 to two (2) already deceased ancestors.

The deed surfaced in a Pearl Harbor Condemnation land case a few years ago.

Reference: PEARL HARBOR AND THE RECIPROCITY TREATY: THE TRUTH by Amelia Gora

4) Documented evidence of conspiracies discovered, shared, and recorded over time by researchers such as myself.

5) The U.S., a brokeass bankrupt nation sent a representative to ask for loans and they would not be able to pay back for thousands of years, and only a piddling amount would have been paid as interest. Our House of Nobles denied the request for the brokeass nation request.

Anyone who loaned the U.S. money was plundered upon....German Jews expecting 10% interest....there's no evidence of such repayment made but the German's were warred with.

note: the U.S. OWES to so many nations, including China......the track record being the way it is means ? that's left up to you to be aware.

6) Since 1892, Queen Liliuokalani was under duress. Duress says it all. Duress cancels all transactions/nulls and voids all.

Her brother King David Kalakaua was under duress, under the prompting of gun carrying conspirators/treasonous persons signed the 'Bayonnet Constitution'.

The 1892 Constitution included an Act which empowered a 'Judiciary Department' and 'the several Judges and other judicial officers.....to be independent of both the executive and legislative departments of Government. The Sovereign shall have no power to interfere with, alter or overrule any order, writ, judgment or decision of any Court, Judge or other judicial officer......'

7) Queen Liliuokalani discarded/destroyed this Constitution.
Queen Liliuokalani, under the hanai system, was part of the Royal families under the Kamehameha's family of Royal persons because she was part of Konia and Abner Paki's family.

Royal persons are not subject to the laws, so she had every right to destroy the Constitution created by the treasonous Americans playing the roles of being Hawaiian subjects.

8) Many of the Royal families exist in Hawaii and elsewhere contrary to the American supported Princess, Bernice Pauahi Bishop being 'the last of the Kamehameha's' as claimed by her treasonous, conspiring, banker, plantation owner, Pacific Cable Company investor husband Charles Reed Bishop (and Friends).

Notes: Queen Liliuokalani was her hanai/adopted sister.

Bernice Pauahi died in 1884.

Queen Liliuokalani died in 1917.

Kamehameha's bloodlines/descendants existed then and exist now.


9) The Hawaiian archipelago has Royal families, aborignal Hawaiians/kanaka maoli private property owners.

10) The conspirators/treasonous person/ Americans in Hawaii were 'neither de facto nor de jure but an entity' documented Queen Liliuokalani.

11) The entity 'Provisional Government' set up Acts to protect themselves and diminish the rights of our Queen and kanaka maoli by passing Acts a few days after the dethronement of Queen Liliuokalani in 1893:

Act 1. Relating to the Powers and Duties of the President and Executive Council.

Act 2. Relating to Official Oaths.

Act 3. To Amend Chapter VI. of the Penal Code, Relating to Treason.

Section 1. If any person owing allegiance to the Provisional Governemnt of the Hawaiian Islands, levies war against it, or adherees to its enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the Hawaiian Islands or elsewhere, he is guilty of treason.

note: Nations who has treaties with the Hawaiian Kingdom would be guilty of treason according to these pirate proclamations.

12) U.S. President Harrison blocked the passage of the bill approved by both House and Senate to prosecute crimes on the high seas..........the issue hidden was PIRACY(IES) ON THE HIGH SEAS....... The President used his executive order/privilege, a tradition - not lawful move to cast away the intent of 200+ members of Congress on January 31, 1893.

13) The entity - Provisional Government evolved into the Republic of Hawaii passed the following (along with other laws):

Art. 9 - Slavery.

'Involuntary servitude, except for crime, is forever prohibited in this Republic. Whenever a slave shall enter the territory of this Republic he shall be free.'

Note: All 40,000 subjects along with Queen Liliuokalani were viewed as slaves because of the view towards the majority as those doing 'crime(s)' by staying, supporting the Queen.

14) Oppositions to Annexation recorded by Queen Liliuokalani and her subjects numbering approximately 40,000. 3,000 documented conspirators/treasonous persons/ Americans in Hawaii and supporters were all for Annexation to their mother country, the U.S. supported by England - both brokeass nations due to the American Civil War costs.

note: The U.S. did not pay off the American Civil War debt until 1934!

15) Acts of Genocide continued against our aboriginal Hawaiians/kanaka maoli - many were beaten, killed, tongues pulled out, claimed to be lepers and sent to Molokai the Leper Colony, imprisoned, given hard labor or sent abroad as slaves.

16) Organic Act passed which disregarded aboriginal Hawaiians/kanaka maoli making the aboriginal Hawaiians/kanaka maoli quasi slave group remaining under duress since January 16, 1893.

17) Statehood of a pirate entity was approved through the Executive Order of U.S. President Eisenhower in 1959.

18) Opposition to Statehood recorded by a Kamehameha descendant Harold Abel Cathcart, documented within time announced by the U.S. legal notice if anyone disagreed to Statehood.

19) Admission of crimes documented and signed by Congress and made into law by U.S. President William Clinton in 1993, known as P.L. No. 103-150.

20) Efforts to retract the admission is made by Senators Daniel Inouye, and Daniel Akaka (etals.) - a descendant/ family member of treasonous/pirate/ conspirator Thomas Akaka who along with Lorrin Thurston and Dr. Mott-Smith conspired against Queen Liliuokalani in 1893.

Others who move to assist Inouye, Akaka, Linda Lingle, Samuel King, Roth, etals. include the families/ descendants of the following:

S.B. Dole
J.A. King (descendant: former Judge Samuel King)
P.C. Jones
W.O. Smith
S.M. Damon
L.A. Thurston (descendants: Thurston Twigg-Smith; Joe Moore)

F. Wilhelm
W.G. Ashley
C. Bolte
Charles Reed Bishop etals. (Kamehameha Schools Bishop Estates, and other trusts, and those listed in the book PIRATES OF THE PACIFIC: CHARLES REED BISHOP AND FRIENDS by Amelia Gora)

21) Kelii Maoli/Kanaka Maoli/Aboriginal Hawaiians continue to oppose the wrongs, the Akaka Bill, all maneuvers to claim private properties, including alii nui, alii lands, konohiki lands, government lands, native tenants lands, assets, banks, gold bullions, gold coins, etc. by Pirates through bloodline claims/genealogies, history, laws, Liens, Reclamation of ancestral properties, reoccupying private properties, billing for leases and rents due, maintaining the suppressed and formerly submerged government Kingdom of Hawaii/Hawaiian Kingdom/ He Mokupuni Pae Aina o Hawaii/Ko Hawaii Nei Pae Aina/Hawaiian Islands/Hawaiian archipelago, etc.

If the U.S. did not support and conspire against our neutral nation - the Kingdom of Hawaii, our Queen, and our people, and did not steal our assets, occupy our lands, etc.....they would not have breached the law of nations, would not have made nuclear bombs to destroy good people....... and would not have to resort to lies claiming peace, friendships around the world...........the ills of a pirate nation continues in Hawaii, the criminal mecca of the U.S.....and all can see it now.........................the U.S. are belligerent occupiers and appears to be egging on Nations to destroy more innocents with the targets here no thanks to the underground bunkers loaded with nuclear bombs..........the U.S. FAILS to understand that a neutral nation exists and respect for others are supported by the Kingdom of Hawaii's Royal families..........rents and leases are due - $500 Trillion dollars per year retroactive to 1893 and the cleanup, removal of military arms mucking up our Neutral nation.

Do not hide behind the skirts of a neutral, non-violent nation.

MORE REASONS WHY THE ENTITY/FAKE STATE LIES TO THE PEOPLE..........
The So-Called Hawaiian Plebiscite (Statehood) by ku ching on June 10, 2009 at 10:37am in Politics
The Statehood Plebiscite
May 12th, 2009
by admin

.

The story by which Hawaii became a state in 1959 usually mythologizes a heroic effort by the Statehood Commission and the lobbying efforts of Territorial representative John Burns, and highlights the hurdles that Congress confronted before eventually voting for Hawaii’s statehood. These hurdles mainly involve racist bigotry and communist allegations along with various facets of organized labor, particularly the I.L.W.U. However, the retelling of the statehood process has left out those who didn’t, for whatever reason, participate in the plebiscite vote, the process adhering to the democratic ideals the United States was at that time trying to convey as its foreign policy strategy. Also, the mythology of Hawaii’s statehood story fails to adequately discuss the colonial/territorial history from the perspective of the United State’s obligation to educate and generally provide the necessary care mandated by the United Nations Charter of which the U.S. ratified in 1946.

One of the many obligations as stated in U.N. Resolution 742

in 1953 declares that one of the “factors indicative of the attainment of independence or of other separate systems of self-government,” is “freedom of choosing on the basis of the right of self-determination of peoples between several possibilities including independence.”

There is nothing to suggest that Hawaii’s plebiscite, offering only “statehood” or “to remain a territory,” fulfills that mandated choice. Also, there is little to suggest that residents of Hawaii were properly educated on the process or understood the importance of the plebiscite and what rights were available to the population. It is as much to claim that 94% of the voters voted for statehood, as it is to suggest that only 35% of the eligible voters voted for statehood.

On March 18, 1959, the day Congress passed the Admission Act, Joseph F. Smith, Professor of Speech and an advocate of statehood at the University of Hawaii, sent a letter to Governor Quinn describing a recent study he conducted. He wrote, “I venture to predict that one of the most surprising features of our forthcoming election will be the number of votes opposing statehood, plus the number of ballots which will carry neither yes or no votes.” Further he observed, “only three of the students were actively in favor of statehood, and the remainder were either apathetic, saying, ‘it will make no difference,’ or definitely opposed. I think, unquestionably, these youngsters reflect the attitude of their parents.”

If the idea of Hawaii failing to attain statehood in 1959 seems implausible, one should also consider the viewpoints of Kamokila Campbell where she felt that Statehood would turn Hawaii into a Japanese dominated “menace” controlled by the Big Five; or ILWU union leader Jack Hall, when in 1953, he challenged the race-baiting perspective while coming out in favor of Hawaii becoming a commonwealth rather than a state, or when he introduced the rank-and-file to options of Independence via the U.N. Charter– “Kamehamehaism” he called it– during the 1951 I.L.W.U., Local 142 proceedings.

The 15 years between the end of WWII and Statehood was a dynamic time, and challenges to international law, international labor, and the beginning of the United State’s dominance in the world set the backdrop to a long and vigorous debate on the issue of colonialism. That this debate should, on July 27th 1959, culminate into a ten-word question to be followed by a “yes” or “no” is not without controversy.

On June 27th, 1959, Hawaii held a plebiscite to determine whether the overall population of the Territory of Hawaii sought Statehood. The final tallied vote, as was signed by Edward E. Johnston, the Secretary of State on July 2nd, 1959 declared the cumulative votes cast on all the islands was 132,773 in favor of statehood, while 7,971 opposed it. What these numbers indicate is that a total of 140,744 people voted either “yes” or “no” for Proposition 1 which read, “Shall Hawaii immediately be granted into the Union as a State?” (Figure 1)

Figure 1. (Click to expand image)


According to the State of Hawaii Data Book, Voter Turnout for the 1959 General Election was 171, 383, which reported that 30,639 or 18% of those who voted abstained, voting neither “yes” nor “no” on the plebiscite and simply voted for their representative in the General Election to which the plebiscite had been attached. So by including all who voted in the general election, only 77% really voted for statehood. (Figure 2)

Figure 2.


The total population of Hawaii from the nearest 1960 Census data reports a population of 632,772, with the median age being 38. Surprisingly, only sixty percent of the population were of voting age and 381,859 were eligible to vote. (Figure 3)

Figure 3.




Examining the assertion that 94% of Hawaii’s citizens voted for statehood, actual numbers reveal a much smaller percentage and the numbers suggest that only 35% of eligible voters actively sought statehood. (figure 4)

Figure 4


When you take into account Tables 5 and 6 below, what further arguments can be constructed regarding residency and race that might reframe the plebiscite narrative?

The following chart shows that 23% of the population were born out-of-state at the time the 1960 census was taken, which at the time of the plebiscite, and taking into account age discrepancy, still suggests a substantial sampling of non-native born residents potentially participating in the plebiscite vote.

Figure 5.





In Figure 6, considering Hawaii’s ethnic population at that time, Kamokila Campbell’s assertion that the Japanese vote would swing statehood was way off the mark considering that the majority of Japanese did not vote in the plebiscite. The same can also be noted for the Caucasian vote (which includes the Portuguese).

Figure 6



Although one could assert that those who voted in the plebiscite, voted along these residential or racial lines, further examination on the plebiscite data reveals that except for the votes tallied from the island of Ni’ihau which was entirely native Hawaiian (there were 70 “no” votes and 18 “yes”), the large percentage of votes cast district by district reveals that an overwhelming majority of those who did vote in the plebiscite voted in favor of immediate Statehood. There were however, certain district particularities for example, the district that registered the most “no” votes came from the more affluent and caucasian dominated Diamond Head/Kahala district, but there is little to suggest that there was any one determinate race or class that voted “Yes” or “No” in the plebiscite.

Looking at these charts and statistics, the question that begs examination is: why did Dag Hammarskjold, the United Nations Secretary-General in 1959, accept Resolution 1469

(December 1959), the “Cessation of the transmission of information under Article 73 e of the Charter in respect of Alaska and Hawaii?”

The U.N. General Assembly, particularly the Fourth Committee (the committee responsible for Non-Self-Governing Territories under Chapter XI), as well as the specialized agencies like UNESCO, WHO, and the ILO that studied the information transmitted under Article 73e, were entrusted to study this data and challenge the blatant aberrations to the process outlined by the United Nations regarding the removal of territories from the list of Non-Self-Governing Territories.

Comparing the relatively low voter turnout and the peculiarities with race and residency in Hawaii’s demographics reveal a contradiction to the process used by the United Nations to remove territories from the list. In the fifteen years prior to statehood, the General Assembly debated the removal of many of the Non-Self-Governing Territories, especially when there are inconsistencies with the voting mechanism– specifically over voter turnout and indigenous peoples.

In South Africa for example, when the U.K. first tried to remove South Africa in 1949, the U.K. administering power submitted a vote that revealed wide support in favor of annexation. However, the voting record showed that the majority of Africaans did not vote and the application was thus rejected. But in 1961, by a whites-only referendum, South Africa left the British commonwealth to become a Republic. The harsh language of the 1961 U.N. resolution 1598 “Affirms that the racial policies being pursued by the Government of the Union of South Africa are a flagrant violation of the Charter of the United Nations and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and are inconsistent with the obligations of a Member State”

An example of a vote held within the guidelines of the United Nations was the U.S. colony, Puerto Rico. Out of a total of 873,085 eligible voters, 640,714 went to the polls in 1953, and the votes were cast and split among options for commonwealth/statehood/independence. More that 3/4 of the eligible population voted, which was in accordance with the Sacred Trust that was mandated with Chapter XI of the Charter. Almost without controversy, Puerto Rico voted for commonwealth (the Puerto Rican controversy lay with the voting on its Constitution). Again, Hawaii had only 1/3 of the eligible voting population voting and that is a sound basis for contestation.

Mahalo to Arnie Saiki, the project director, for researching what many of us knew but unable to cite all documents. Great work! It is interesting to note that Alaska and Hawai'i's hasty admittance into the U.S as a state was due to the 1960 Mandate which the U.S. knew of prior to the effective date. Probably without the mandate, Hawai'i would still be "a territory" today. The U.S. could not risk losing Alaska and Hawai'i. I was against statehood but was only sixteen, too young to vote. I saw the U.S. for what it is and didn't want any part of its WASP racist society. If they could treat the blacks and indians the way they do; can you imagine how they would treat us? I didn't need my parents to come to that conclusion. I knew I was a Hawaii national despite what the U.S. was enforcing on me. I still am a Hawai'i national under the belligerent occupation of the U.S.A. My na kupuna protested in 1897 and so do I.

He Hawai'i au a mau loa!

Aloha kakou.

It was my understanding that only those who had an interest to give up could vote in the plebiscite. Americans could not create a legal interest just by living one year in the territory of Hawaii. What was that interest? The people of the nation occupied, the Hawaiian Kingdom and only they could give up they interest in that nation to become an American State.

I have been told many Hawaiians could not even vote because you had to be a US citizen. Why is it that the United Nations could not see an illegal plebiscite in Hawaii, but had no trouble in other places? Power is the continuing problem we face. The law knows us. The law returns our land.

The Americans are pirates and they only know the law when it suits them.

Is it possible to awaken the great monster to their own laws?

The U.S. disregarded the Ku'e Petitions of 1897 whereby 98% of Hawai'i's citizenry protested against annexation to the U.S. The U.S. cannot produce the required lawful treaty of annexation because it was rejected by the U.S. Congress; it was never ratified. There was never consent from the Hawai'i nationals; including many of the nationals of caucasian descent who signed the Queen's petition which she submitted along with her formal protest. The Queen sent her protest in 1893 and then again in 1897. The people said NO from the onset and would not give their consent to the puppet provisional government, the Republic of Hawaii, annexation, and statehood; yet the U.S. continually ignored them and did what it wanted in spite of it all. The U.S. plotted to send many of its citizens to reside in Hawaii to upset the applecart. It escalated right after the fake annexation; much like the same ploy they engaged in Texas. The Organic Act of 1900 proclaimed all residents U.S. citizens ecept for the Asians which had to jump through hoops to be accept and naturalized by the U.S. and under its laws. All this done against the wishes of the Hawai'i nationals. The U.S. assumed they could do it because they could through an illusion and threats to other international community of nations.

Are You Ready For War With Demonized Iran?

By Paul Craig Roberts

How much attention do elections in Japan, India, Argentina, or any other country, get from the US media? How many Americans and American journalists even know who is in political office in other countries besides England, France, and Germany? Who can name the political leaders of Switzerland, Holland, Brazil, Japan, or even China? Yet, many know of Iran's President Ahmadinejad. The reason is obvious. He is daily demonized in the US media.

Rafsanjani's Gambit Backfires

The Larger Context of the 2009 Iranian Elections

By Reza Fiyouzat

If you were to see this play enacted in a theater, you wouldn't believe it. California faces a budget deficit of $26.8 billion dollars in the 2010 state budget, draconian cuts, and, perhaps portends what's to come in the rest of America.

We have the Story Wrong - There's More Work Than Ever!
In our consumer driven culture we have both managed to distort and failed to honor the stories of so many who are engaged in critical and necessary work. By W. Christopher Epler (Bill)
We are rapidly sliding back into Bush-Land.
The dems are giving the government back to the pugs as per usual. The pugs should have fundamental control of everything by the end of the year. They don't need a majority. They just need the gutless dems who are so dysfuntional as to be early primates. One wonders why they don't hoot and swing in the trees. Ergo, as always, the bucks stops with apolitical activism, although this time it's a species war with The Beast. By earl ofari hutchinson
The Good Reverend Jeremiah Wright and "Them Jews"
There were two things wrong with the good Reverend Jeremiah Wrights's grouse that "them Jews are keeping me from Obama." Oops, I mean not Jews. That was Wright's nimble effort to take some heat off him for the silly crack. One was that he said it. The other is that he meant it. By Jon Faulkner
Melted Wings - Icarus And The Democrats
Obama has been permitted his brief moment at the pinnacle of power which, unbelievably, he has chosen to squander. He has, after an amazingly short time, digressed to comic relief.

Progressives and the Climate Policy Debate

Progressives agree that any climate policy must achieve deep and rapid emissions reductions and be just, not placing disproportionate burden on the poor, and not letting big polluters off the hook. Beyond that progressives and climate justice activists are deeply divided on what policy to support. The article explores and critiques progressives positions on carbon taxes, cap and trade and regulation.

Congress on Path to Transfer Hundreds of Billions in Tax Dollars to the Insurance Industry While Calling it Health Care

The first single payer advocate, Dr. Margaret Flowers, to testify in the health care reform discussion did a great job but the senate is still trying to find ways to protect the profits of the insurance industry. They can't figure out how to pay for it or cover all Americans but they are proceeding anyway -- putting the interests of their contributors ahead of the people's needs.

Clinton Says U.S. Questions Iranian Election Results
Updated: 06/13/09 07:45 PM NIAGARA FALLS, Ont. -- Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton touched on Iran and North Korea during a joint-appearance news conference today with Canada's foreign affairs minister Lawrence Cannon at the Rainbow Bridge. The U.S., she said, refuses to accept hard-line President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's claim of a landslide re-election victory in Iran and said it was looking into allegations Ahmadinejad Reelected in Iran as Demonstrators Protest Result
Announcement of the results triggered protests throughout the day. Families lined the streets in the middle-class neighborhood of Saadat Abad, cheering on the demonstration and shouting, "Death to the dictator!" Good collection of slides. The Exodus Obama Forgot to Mention
The president never said a word about me.Or,for that matter,about any of the other 800,000 or so Jews born in the Middle East who fled the Arab and Muslim world or who were summarily expelled for being Jewish in the 20th century.With references to the history of Islam and to its (questionable)"proud tradition of tolerance",Obama never said anything about those Jews whose ancestors had been living in Arab lands before Islam Daily Kos: Mousavi arrested?
A committee of respected Ayatollahs (the spiritual fighters) have requested that the election be invalidated for the purpose of restoring the people's trust in the Islamic Republic. Mousavi has been place under house arrest. He was arrested on his way to Khamenei's house. All communication has been shut off. PHOTOS, VIDEO: Iran: Riot in Tehran streets after election day
Thousands of angry people have massed in Tehran to protest at the election result, with some pelting stones at baton-wielding police."Down with the dictator!" shouted the crowd as they streamed into one of the capital's main squares after latest results showed incumbent hardliner Mahmoud Ahmadinejad had secured a landslide win. Ahmadinejad Defiant on 'Free' Iran Poll
John Simpson (BBC) Reporting from Tehran A crowd of about 3,000 attacked the police, some of whom were on motorbikes, which they set on fire. The sky was thick with black smoke. Police attacked the crowd with sticks and maybe teargas. I didn't expect to see people turning on the secret police. We were filming when we were surrounded by angry secret policemen. The crowd turned on them and chased them off. Mobile phones, Facebook, YouTube cut in Iran
The main mobile telephone network in Iran was cut in the capital Tehran Saturday evening while popular Internet websites Facebook and YouTube also appeared to be blocked. Ahmadinejad Re-Election Doesn't Deter Obama From Engaging Iran
The Obama administration has concluded that it will forge ahead with its efforts to persuade Iran to stop its nuclear program and that it will have to work with Ahmadinejad, an administration official said, speaking on condition of anonymity. US leaders must face the situation as it is, not how they wish it would be. The US has fundamental interests at stake and will pursue them to the end, the official said.

The North, describing the sanctions resolution as a "vile product" of a US-inspired campaign, said it would never abandon nuclear weapons and would treat any attempt to blockade it as an act of war. "We'll take firm military action if the United States and its allies try to isolate us." The Revolution Will Be...Twittered?
Mock not. As the regime shut down other forms of communication, Twitter survived. With some remarkable results. Those rooftop chants that were becoming deafening in Tehran? A few hours ago, this concept of resistance was spread by a twitter message. Also, Huffington Post liveblogging and updates from the Lede over at NYTimes.com. While Workers' Wages Fall Obama Administration Rejects Limits on Bankers' Pay
Workers, retirees, young people and small businessmen will all see their living standards and future prospects devastated, but nothing can be allowed to interfere with the pursuit of personal wealth by the financial aristocracy.

Computer Piloting & Air France Crash
How the Air France Flight 447's Airbus A330 crashed into the Atlantic Ocean remains a mystery, but what is known is that Airbus' heavy reliance on computerized piloting has a history of some bizarre or unexplained crashes when the technology failed, misread the circumstances, or complicated efforts by human pilots to react to an emergency. Israeli lobby 'causing drift between Obama, senators'
Senators in the United States have reportedly demanded that President Barack Obama avoid casting doubt on the future of American relations with Israel.

More New York Times Warmongering
The New York Times warmongering capability has apparently not been much diminished by the loss of Judith Miller, who, in intimate association with the Cheney Cabal, did so much on the Times' front-pages to enable the Bush-Cheney War of Aggression against Iraq (still in progress). You see, the NYT still has William Broad and David Sanger. Why the hell should I feel sorry, says girl soldier who abused Iraqi prisoners at Abu Ghraib prison

The link is to the "Political Research Associates" site, one that appears to be quite useful to those of us who prefer to identify real individuals, rather than shadowy bogeymen. Slutty Gorilla Airline Attendants? or: The Silverback Hath Spoken
Amazing. A comedian is chastised for cracking jokes about an also-ran VP, but a sitting First Lady can be disparaged by being connected to an escaped gorilla by a SC GOP activist, and the MSM doesn't even blink. ...Probably because he's not very funny. MasterCard and the Extremist Settlers of Silwan
Last week, holders of an Isracard and/or MasterCard credit cards in Israel received an offer for a "City of David tour" with "attractions for the entire family" - which makes no mention of the fact that the tour is to be conducted by the Elad settlers. On June 8, 1998, under the cover of darkness, members of the fundamentalist nationalistic settlement group Elad, entered four Palestinian homes and raised the Israeli flag. Riots Break Out as Ahmadinejad Is Declared Victor in Iran

Worse yet, conventional oil output will be just 89.6 million barrels per day. In EIA terms, this is pure gloom and doom. Sarah Palin Is the One Who Is Subjecting Her Children to Public Scrutiny, Not David Letterman
Margaret Carlson of Bloomberg News put it best when talking to Keith Olbermann last night on "Countdown." "David Letterman did not drag the 14-year-old daughter into this. The Palins dragged the 14-year-old daughter into it. And it was absolutely egregious. And they obviously hunger for this kind of melodrama." US general heads to Afghanistan to develop new strategy
Gen. David Petraeus, the head of US Central Command (CENTCOM), warned Thursday that the past week's violence in Afghanistan was the worst since the NATO troops invaded the country in 2001. The new US commander in the country, Gen. Stanley McChrystal, is headed to Kabul to develop a new counterinsurgency strategy. Obama's Afghan War: The New Metric of Civilian Casualties
One searches in vain in the U.S mainstream press for reporting upon all those bombs being dropped upon Afghanistan. Vietnam-era enemy body counts are now officially back as part of the U.S propaganda war.[xx] Even less is written on the concrete results - other than the prolific references to "eliminated militants." Paul Krugman: The Big Hate
In the Bush years, The Washington Times became an important media player because it was widely regarded as the Bush administration's house organ. Earlier this week, the newspaper saw fit to run an opinion piece declaring that President Obama "not only identifies with Muslims, but actually may still be one himself." U.N. Security Council Adopts Stiffer Curbs on North Korea
China and Russia, key North Korean allies, were heavily involved in drafting the resolution during the nearly three weeks since North Korea's May 25 underground nuclear test, but they resisted making the inspections and some other measures mandatory, so it remains unclear what impact the sanctions will have. Mark Morford: A troubling lack of pure evil
Despite Obama's hippie socialist insistence that we all try to ease up on the hateful divisiveness and start cultivating some empathy and shared responsibility, and despite how he's guiding us through one of the most dramatic and perspective-altering transitions/redefinitions in our short history, it turns out classic, black-hearted evil still abounds in our culture.

Carter: "Peace without Hamas is not possible"
Former US President, Jimmy carter, stated Thursday that peace between Israel and the Palestinians is not possible without the involvement of Hamas. Secrecy Over Data on Bombings Hides Abuses
The CIA's refusal to share with other agencies even the most basic data on the bombing attacks by remote-controlled unmanned predator drones in Pakistan's northwestern tribal region, combined with revelations that CIA operatives have been paying Pakistanis to identify the targets, suggests that managers of the drone attacks are using the total secrecy surrounding the program to hide abuses and high civilian casualties.

Why I Say "No" to a Regional Wilderness Bill "
[No]reasonable person in Wyoming would take thousands of Wyoming families off the lands where they hunt, fish, camp, ride and hike. That simply isn't right. What's more, it isn't smart.

Dear Freedom Center Supporter,

The Individual Rights Foundation (IRF) - the Freedom Center's powerful legal arm - is taking part in what will undoubtedly be one of this nation's landmark court cases regarding discrimination.

The IRF is serving as a friend of the court in the now-famous case, Frank Ricci, et al. v. John DeStefano, et al. ... or as it is sometimes referred to, the New Haven Firefighters case.

If you are not familiar with the case, I will tell you, sadly, it is as blatant a case of discrimination on the basis of color as you will currently find in our nation. And smack in the middle of this outrage is Judge Sonia Sotomayor - Barack Obama's ultra-liberal nominee for the Supreme Court.

But before I give you a brief synopsis, I have to ask for your help. Because it is effective, the IRF is taking on more and more worthwhile cases - solely or in action with other groups. To help ensure we have the strongest team and best legal advice, research and presentation possible for this case, as well the other cases we have in play, the IRF needs to raise $18,500 as soon as possible.

Will you help us reach this goal? Take action with me right now by following this link to help the IRF with an immediate contribution. We need the support of Center members like you who understand what is at stake. A contribution of $25, $50, $100, $1,000 or more will provide the financial assistance the IRF must have to continue working hard for justice - for Frank Ricci and beyond!

Frank Ricci grew up poor in a blue-collar Connecticut town. Public schools weren't prepared to help with the learning disabilities Ricci has, so he was a C to D student. From high school he joined the New Haven fire department. When he started a family of his own, he began working two jobs. When he had a chance for a promotion he quit his second job, spent $1,000 on books and, because he has severe dyslexia, he hired someone to read him the material. To his credit, Frank scored sixth on the lieutenant's exam. His life was due to change. More income for his family, more challenge and respect from his job. His was another amazing American success story.

Enter Judge Sotomayor. In a short, unsigned 134-word opinion, she supported New Haven's city government's decision to throw out the test results. New Haven officials claimed they faced discrimination suits because minority members taking the exam hadn't qualified for promotion. The exam was "race neutral" - designed to give all takers the same opportunity to advance. But basically because the majority who qualified for promotion were white, the City of New Haven trashed the results. Judge Sotomayor agreed.

Just imagine how her race-based decision hurt Ricci's life. Imagine how it hurt the others who had worked hard, studied hard and passed the test. The IRF is now in the fight to reverse the Sotomayor decision. We need your help right now! Please don't delay - follow this link today to make a financial commitment to end race-based court decisions like this.

The IRF is able to help in this case and others because of the courageous support of Freedom Center members like you. Please help me again today. Help me raise the $18,500 we must have in the next 48 hours by immediately following this link to make your secure, online donation..

Thank you so much for your critically needed support.

Sincerely,

David Horowitz
President & Founder

P.S. We have a real opportunity to reverse Judge Sonia Sotomayor's biased decision, and help others whose rights have been trampled on by arbitrary government actions! Please help the IRF right now by making a donation of $25 or more to the IRF. Thanks again.

This is fantastic! It's done in such clarity, everyone should be able to comprehend and know what we are speaking of.

Prior to the U.S. invasion and belligerent occupation in 1893, the Kingdom of Hawai'i was recognized worldwide as a sovereign independent nation-state. It had its monetary system accepted by the intrnational countries, it had its own postage stamps recognized universally, and was the first nation to recognize the independence of Argentina. Being a Constitutional Monarchy like Great Britain, the people democratically elected two of its monarchs.

The U.S.A. created neo-colonialism by covertly and overtly conspired to takeover one of its peers, a sovereign independent nation-state, and colonialized it and forced assimilated it to its racist WASP ethnocentric society. Now they want to separate most of the Hawaii nationals and create a tribal government of native American indigenous people saying they are restoring the Kingdom as it was (which it isn't) as a nation to nation dependent to the U.S.

The definition of nation within a nation is simply defined as occupation of one nation over another. The U.S.A. continues to be the master of illusion.

HAWAI`I NATIONAL SPEAKS OUT AGAINST THE AKAKA BILL
Dear Congresspersons,

I entreat all Congresspeople to Oppose S.1011/H.R. 2314.

...There has not been any public hearings on all the islands except on O`ahu since the year 2000 and since then there have been many amendments to the bill.

A small elite group of Hawaiian-Americans have input while the rest of the Hawai`i nationals have been shut out of the process.

We rebuke the wording of the bill and contents which white-wash the facts.

One cannot cull a portion of the Hawaii nationals and relegate them to a tribal indigenous group of the US while ignoring the rest of the Hawaii nationals not of native Hawaiian blood. We want to review the final bill for approval before it goes up for a vote by U.S. Congress.

The US expressly recognizes Hawai'i's unique circumstances and is trying to fit it within their system. You must first prove that Hawai'i is legitimately part of the US.

Legally and lawfully, the US cannot produce the required treaty of annexation in which to make a claim of ownership nor can they show the consent of the people because of the memorial and Ku`e petitions of 1897 which demonstrates the Hawai`i nationals' disdain for the US dishonorable actions.

You are the thief fencing its stolen goods unto itself to make it look legitimate and the wishes of the Hawai`i nationals.

What is so difficult to comprehend? Free Hawai`i!

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT....

I know so many people who have a hard time understanding the idea of ending the occupation of our Kingdom of Hawaii/Hawaiian Nation by the US. It wasn't that long ago in terms of the history of the world, that a group of men from England discontented with their lives...sailed away to a country and landed and began the legacy that since then, has become their "foreign and domestic" policy.

There were thriving Nations on that continent, but that didn't stop them from encroaching, from spreading their lifestyle complete with religion, disease, and the concept that they somehow had the RIGHT to be there. From the very moment that this recalcitrant group stepped foot on someone else's territory...they have been wrong.

Although the North American continent is massive...that wasn't enough. Once they decided that...
"they liked it there"...they mulitplied...displacing the indegenous people of those lands, and destroying lives as they "ordained" their own actions...and disregarded the lives of others.

Might does not make right, but it DOES allow for expansion. People comment that it is corporations that are at fault. No so. It is the men behind the masks. Those people who consider it their privilege to occupy others' nations, to take what is NOT THEIR, to move into others' homes, control the food system, the land system, and the school system, which is how they are able to keep that plate spinning.

When their descendants ventured overseas and discovered yet another land (in this case...us), they wanted it. It was just a matter of time before they figure out how to take it. Always covering up their "intent" with lofty ideals (justice for all?) and hiding behind their own self righteousness...they have been able to do a major "snow job" on much of the population to this day. It is no surprise...since they control the educational system...they control the history, which has been a series of lies to cover up their REAL intent.

So...if you know our true history as well as THEIRS...spread the word. Challenge the thinking. Ask questions...and question everything. There is a wrong and a right...and figure out which side you are on.

Donna

Post by Pomaikelani/Richard Kinney:

KILL THE AKaKa Bill

Chief Tecumseh Brown Eagle of The Erie Indian Moundbuilders Tribal Nation today issued his Tribe's opposition to the proposed Akaka Bill now before the US Congress.
He said:
Native Hawaiians are not American Indians! To label Native Hawaiians as American Indians flies in the face of historical fact, truth, and the rule of law. It also undermines the inherent right of all to retain their national identity. If the national identity of Native Hawaiians can be wiped away with the stroke of a pen then all people everywhere may face the same fate.
For the United States of America to attempt to classify Native Hawaiians as Native American Indians undermines true Native American Indians as well as the United States Consitution that is promulgated upon the rule of law. This bill would continue the horrific history of the violation of its treaties by the US which the US Constitution unequivacably proclaims as the highest law of the land.
To enact the Akaka Bill would continue this abuse of the US Constitution and support the unconscionable illegal overthrow of the Kingdom of Hawai'i in 1893.
All people of sound conscious recognize the blessings of freedom bestowed upon us by The Great Spirit, and confirmed under the United States Consitution and must oppose the Akaka Bill. I urge everyone to contact their US Senator and oppose this legislation.

"The Kumulipo" translated by Queen Lili`uokalani

The Kumulipo

Translated by Queen Liliuokalani

[1897]




This is Queen Liliuokalani's translation of the Hawaiian Creation chant, the Kumulipo. She translated this while under house arrest at Iolani Palace, and it was subsequently published in 1897. This is an extremely rare book which was republished (in a very scarce edition) by Pueo Press in 1978.

The Kumulipo's composition is attributed to one of Liliuokalani's eighteenth century ancestors, Keaulumoku, just prior to European contact. It is a sophisticated epic which describes the origin of species in terms that Darwin would appreciate. The Kumulipo moves from the emergence of sea creatures, to insects, land plants, animals, and eventually human beings. It describes a complicated web of interrelationships between various plants and animals. The most massive part of the chant is a genealogy which enumerates thousands of ancestors of the Hawaiian royal family.

The Kumulipo is also available at this site in the 1951 translation of Martha Warren Beckwith, with comprehensive analysis and the complete Hawaiian text. However Liliuokalani's version is of some historical significance. The last Queen of Hawaii, Liliuokalani was extremely literate, and steeped in Hawaiian tradition. She was the author of the well-known Hawaiian anthem, Aloha 'Oe as well as a Hawaiian history book, Hawai'i's Story by Hawai'i's Queen.

Hawaii vs. U.S. Imperialism
http://www.pinkyshow.org/archives/episodes/090611_hawaii03/

Transcript: Hawaii vs. U.S. Imperialism

[ watch the video ]

Pinky (voiceover): The following presentation is largely based on an analysis of primary documents. For a complete list of resources consulted, as well as a transcript of this episode, please visit our project archive at the Pinky Show website: www.PinkyShow.org/archives. Thank you.

[ On-screen graphic ] A lie told often enough becomes the truth. - Vladimir Lenin


INTRODUCTION

Pinky: Every place has many histories. I can't think of any place that can be described or understood through just one story. In fact, studying all these different histories is one of the things that makes learning about places so fascinating!

On the other hand, we also have places like Hawaii, where there are stories being told about it that are so contradictory, so opposite from each other, that you have to wonder, is it really possible for all of these competing versions of history to all be true?

For example, here are two very VERY different ways of understanding Hawaii. Version Number One: Hawaii is the "50th State" of the United States of America, Hawaii voted to join the U.S. back in the 50's, and now it's just a really nice place to go for your vacation. That's one. Version Number Two goes like this: Hawaii is not a part of the United States, actually it's a nation under illegal occupation since 1893, and a hundred plus years later there's still Hawaiian Nationals fighting the U.S. for independence. Have you heard this version before? No? If you haven't that's understandable because, this story is very well-known - I guess you could say this is the 'official' story - and this one is definitely not nearly as well-known. Can two stories that are almost exact opposites from each other both be true? Or is one of them more substantiated by historical facts than the other?

The short answer is that, based on our research, an overwhelming body of evidence points to the fact that Hawaii really is a colonial possession of the United States. The idea that Hawaii is the 50th State of the U.S. is, literally, just a very popular myth. And the main reason why practically everyone believes this myth is simply because the American establishment has used its resources to have people think this, instead of that. In other words, what people believe often has more to do with interests and power, instead of facts.

In this episode we're going to show you a mini-history of Hawaii, but this time seen through the analytical lens of "imperialism". Once you start seeing how the struggle over Hawaii is connected to a broader, global history of imperialism, I think it'll be a lot easier to understand why the United States has worked so hard to try to destroy Native Hawaiians and take their land. I know that might sound really harsh to some people, but this presentation is only about 20 minutes long so we don't have time to mince words. I hope you'll bear with us.


CONTEXT: IMPERIALISM CREATES TURF WARS

Pinky: When people talk about the moment of contact between Hawaii and The West - namely Captain Cook's so-called 'discovery' of Hawaii in 1778 - what often seems to be missing from this story is the broader context. For example: Captain Cook was from England, but this 'encounter' took place on a beach someplace in Hawaii... why not ask the obvious question: What was this guy doing so far away from home?

To answer a question like this we need to discuss the birth of European Imperialism - the idea that Europeans have the right to control the lands and people in any other part of the world. It's 1452, and the Pope has issued the first of three declarations, which would soon become the conceptual and political foundation of the Doctrine of Discovery, giving rise to the global slave trade and the Age of Imperialism.

Pope Bunny: "I give you permission to invade, capture, and subjugate Muslims and pagans and any other non-Christians, wherever they may be - kill them or make them your slaves. Also, any land, islands, oceans, or rivers, or anything else you think might be valuable - especially if it's shiny, like gold or something - we give you permission to take it or colonize it; up to you. In the name of our lord Jesus Christ, go kick some ass."

Pinky: The land grab... is on. Almost immediately, in the New World, European settlers begin a centuries-long process of exploration, settlement, and extermination of Native peoples. In Native North America, European Imperialism results in the creation of a new settler state - the United States of America. Not surprisingly, this new nation would be imbued with the same spirit of its own creation - what was formerly European Imperialism now becomes Euro-American Imperialism. The industrial revolution has arrived from Europe and the modern corporation is born. A desire for bigger and bigger profits drives an insatiable appetite for land, cheap labor, and raw materials. The nation expands westward - devouring the natural resources of the continent and decimating any and all native people who stand in the way of its own vision of "Manifest Destiny". By the end of the 19th century the new nation now stretches all the way to the Pacific coast. Always wanting more, the corporate elite (and their political allies in the government) now find themselves looking even more westward - this time beyond the Pacific - toward the vast, untapped resources and enormously profitable markets of China and "the Orient". But to cash in on that dream, they know they'll have to challenge the established imperial powers of Europe, as well as an emerging Japan, because those guys want the same thing.

A part of America’s strategic plan to dominate Asia includes establishing a highly militarized colony in the Pacific from which they'd be able to control "all of this". To accomplish this, in 1893 the U.S. military conspires with white settlers from the U.S. and overthrows the government of the Kingdom of Hawaii. The overthrow was an act of war against a friendly and independent nation, and basically totally illegal under all standards of international law. The U.S. starts building immediately - by the start of World War Two the landscape is already filled with military installations. As a footnote: a hundred years later the U.S. did formally apologize to Native Hawaiians for the stealing of their nation, but they didn't give nothing back.

Okay, back to the end of the 19th century - five years after the overthrow, in 1898, the U.S. is at war with Spain - it's the Spanish-American War. They're fighting over control of Spanish colonies in the Caribbean and the Pacific - and the U.S. really wants to secure its control over Hawaii, because that'll make it easier to fight the Spanish in the Philippines. So, the U.S. uses the war as an excuse to claim Hawaii by "annexing" it. Hm. The only problem is, the annexation itself is totally fraudulent.

See, under U.S. constitutional law, if you want to incorporate a nation into the U.S., you have to ask the people whose nation is being incorporated if they want to become part of the U.S. or not. If both sides want it, you make a treaty of annexation and the Senate votes on it, and if you have a two-thirds majority that say "yes", then the two nations are joined together. Treaties are agreements between nations; it's "a nation to nation thing". But the U.S. bypassed this process because it knew that Hawaiians absolutely did not approve of giving up their lands and sovereignty. Almost every single Native Hawaiian adult had signed petitions against annexation into the United States. Realizing they couldn't annex Hawaii lawfully, U.S. President McKinley and his expansionist friends convinced Congress to ignore their own constitution and instead of making a real treaty; they just made a joint resolution - which is a domestic law thing and doesn't have the power to incorporate other people's nations into the U.S. The whole thing was totally illegal.

The bottom line? The U.S. is not afraid to violate its own constitution, international treaty law, or even basic principles of democracy, as long as it's economically or politically profitable enough to do so.


POST-WW II ERA: IMPERIALISM v2.0

Pinky: Fast forward around fifty years - it's 1945 and World War II has just come to an end. If you think about it, what World War II was, was basically a huge, global struggle between imperial powers over who gets to control most of the planet. The war ends with one group of imperialists (England, United States, Soviet Union, France, etc.) beating out another group of imperialists (Germany, Italy, Japan). The victors give themselves the right to decide what direction, and what kind of rules, the world is going to have to follow. They create the United Nations, and declare that one of the first priorities of this new institution is that it should do something about the problem of colonialism:

President Bunny: Colonialism is a system based on exploitation and violence! [applause] To have peace, colonialism must be brought to an end! [applause]

Pinky: Sounds good, right? Well, in politics, things aren't always as they seem - of course the winners force the losers to give up their colonies. But the winners have colonies of their own, and they don't really want to give them up! They make a very clever loophole: they release their hold of most of their colonies - at least on paper - but at the same time they also create new mechanisms of control - not only within the UN itself, but also international financial institutions like the World Bank and International Monetary Fund - that allows them to control less powerful nations via economic means. It's not old-school colonialism, this is the new style colonialism! Okay.

But what happens next is really interesting, I'm not sure the U.S. and England and all those guys really saw this part coming - especially so soon. By the 1950s the global political landscape was changing really, really fast. A powerful new wave of independence movements is sweeping over the planet. In Africa and Asia, representatives from all over the Third World are coming together at international conferences to discuss equal rights and justice. Also, as the former colonies gain independence and enter the UN, it's clear that they intend to use their votes in the General Assembly to create new rules that would help secure self-determination for everybody still living under colonial domination. All of this is a huge problem for the U.S., which sees these developments as a threat to being able to keep its most prized colonial possessions, like Hawaii. The U.S. knows Hawaii is stolen property but clearly doesn't want to give it back. So what kind of options do you have if you're trying to make stolen lands look like not stolen lands? The answer: Fake Democracy.


CASE STUDY: HOW THE U.S. USED FAKE DEMOCRACY TO STEAL A NATION

Pinky: Okay, in a nutshell, this is how the United States used fake democracy to create the perception that Hawaii "belongs" to the U.S: It's 1959, and the UN has Hawaii on its official list of places that still need to be decolonized. There's an important new rule that's about to get passed in the United Nations real soon called Resolution 1514. The U.S. knew Resolution 1514 would make it much more difficult for them to maintain indefinite control over Hawaii - it would basically provide a framework by which Hawaii's future political status could be decided by Hawaiians - who obviously might want their stolen lands back. The U.S. decides that the best way to keep Hawaii from being affected by the new UN rules is to make Hawaii look more like one of its other states, instead of an occupied nation. To accomplish this, the U.S. quickly rushes a vote on statehood to ballot, and to make sure that statehood 'wins', it rigs the election. After the election the U.S. tells the UN that Hawaii's questionable status has been resolved and that Hawaii should be removed from the UN's list of colonies. That's basically what happened.

Okay, now, while there's no such thing as an ethical way to keep stolen territory, this is a textbook example of how to use political maneuvering to bypass justice and democracy, so I think it's actually very educational to take a closer look at how the U.S. did it.

[ On-screen graphic ] IMPORTANT: Please note the inherent contradictions - both the U.S. and the United Nations are rooted in the logic of Western Imperialism.

Bunny in a suit: What do YOU want to happen, Hawaii? 1) Would you like to become a U.S. state? Or 2) Do you want to continue being a crappy territory? Hm?

Pinky: It's 1959 - what kind of laws, principles, and factors are the United States obligated to follow, if it's going to try to hold a vote on Hawaii's future? Well, there are several - the U.S.'s own Constitution, obviously, but also the U.S. is a signatory of the UN Charter, so we're supposed to follow everything in that, plus UN resolutions like Resolution 742 and so on. Interestingly enough, the U.S. stages the 1959 "statehood vote" in a way that manages to violate all of the above.

First of all there's the obvious question of suffrage, or "Who gets to vote?" Under the principles of decolonization, if you're trying to undo a historical wrong - like illegally overthrowing somebody's government, you have to ask the people who suffered the violations - the colonized - what they want to happen. You don't ask the people who benefited from the stealing of the land if they feel like giving it back or not - that only makes sense if you don't have any respect for fairness. But guess what - that's exactly what the U.S. did - they opened the vote to everybody who was living in Hawaii at the time, knowing full well that Native Hawaiians made up less than 20% of the population, and that the remainder - settlers from the U.S., plantation laborers brought in from Asia, U.S. military personnel - the U.S. knew all of those guys would vote in favor of statehood.

A second requirement for a "legitimate" vote is - you must offer three choices on the ballot: 1) Independence, 2) Free association, and 3) Integration. But instead of offering the required three, the U.S. essentially only put one choice on the ballot: integration. Integration via statehood, or integration via continued territorial status! What kind of ballot is that?

Bunny in a suit: It doesn't matter which one you choose, I get to own you either way.

Pinky: Leaving "independence" and "free association" off the ballot is clearly a manipulation of the UN-sanctioned voting process. That's strike two.

Okay - third big problem. When holding a vote on Hawaii's future political status - the administering power (the United States) - is required to place the interests of Hawaiians before its own interests. The UN Charter calls this mandate a "sacred trust". Okay, so what does this mean? Well, practically speaking, it means that if you're going to have something like a vote, the U.S. is obligated to conduct it fairly so that Hawaiians would be free to choose what they really want for their future. But instead, the U.S. did just the opposite - before the vote the U.S. initiated an intense pro-statehood propaganda campaign. And just to be safe, a parallel campaign of attacking anyone who spoke up in opposition to statehood. Obviously this is not how an administering power lives up to its "sacred trust" obligations. Strike three.

So yeah, the so-called "statehood vote", was, for several reasons, illegitimate. This is how the U.S. was able to subvert the UN's stated goal of a world free of colonial domination. A process for decolonization was instead turned into a process of assimilation.

The important thing to understand is that statehood was used to keep Hawaiians from getting their nation back. Statehood is not just an abstract concept, it can also be used as a tool for accomplishing concrete political objectives. In the case of Hawaii, statehood was, and continues to be, a strategy for obscuring a history of dispossession and repackaging it to make it look like something good, like "democracy".


1893 TO PRESENT: THE OCCUPATION CONTINUES

Pinky: The fantasy image of Hawaii that everybody knows - you know, the tropical paradise with hula hula girls dancing in front of a pretty sunset - this is basically propaganda that's used to market Hawaii to the world as a tourist destination. It's the perverse reversal of the much darker reality that always has to be kept out of sight - an independent nation seized by the United States via a series of illegal acts, each one built upon another.

Hawaii was America's first experiment in overseas 'regime change' - a practice that over the next 100+ years has been used to bring many more countries under U.S. control. It's a supremely violent process - millions of lives have been claimed. As of today, Hawaii remains an occupied nation - and America's primary staging area for exporting war, violence, and the threat-of-violence throughout the Pacific and beyond. This is how imperialism works.

Our appeal to you is to please examine the documentary record, and then act as your conscience guides you.

Look at how concise this overview of OUR POSITION OF TRUTH is stated:

Okay, back to the end of the 19th century - five years after the overthrow, in 1898, the U.S. is at war with Spain - it's the Spanish-American War. They're fighting over control of Spanish colonies in the Caribbean and the Pacific - and the U.S. really wants to secure its control over Hawaii, because that'll make it easier to fight the Spanish in the Philippines. So, the U.S. uses the war as an excuse to claim Hawaii by "annexing" it. Hm. The only problem is, the annexation itself is totally fraudulent.

See, under U.S. constitutional law, if you want to incorporate a nation into the U.S., you have to ask the people whose nation is being incorporated if they want to become part of the U.S. or not. If both sides want it, you make a treaty of annexation and the Senate votes on it, and if you have a two-thirds majority that say "yes", then the two nations are joined together. Treaties are agreements between nations; it's "a nation to nation thing". But the U.S. bypassed this process because it knew that Hawaiians absolutely did not approve of giving up their lands and sovereignty. Almost every single Native Hawaiian adult had signed petitions against annexation into the United States. Realizing they couldn't annex Hawaii lawfully, U.S. President McKinley and his expansionist friends convinced Congress to ignore their own constitution and instead of making a real treaty; they just made a joint resolution - which is a domestic law thing and doesn't have the power to incorporate other people's nations into the U.S. The whole thing was totally illegal.

The bottom line? The U.S. is not afraid to violate its own constitution, international treaty law, or even basic principles of democracy, as long as it's economically or politically profitable enough to do so.

HAWAII: A VOICE FOR SOVEREIGNTY

Aloha Kakou,

What I believe we have "going on here" at this time,
and yes it has been marked as being "auspicious";
as with the timing of a NATIONAL HOLIDAY OF THE
KINGDOM OF HAWAII, known as "Kamehameha Day".

OUR VOICE, the voice of us who have been "upholding
the protest of our Queen" as she filed with the USA on record,
which was supported by the "1897 Hui Aloha Aina Petition
Against US Annexation", which we now refer to as the "Ku`e Petition".

OUR VOICE IS BEING "ECHOED BACK TO US"
ACROSS THE ETHERS OF THE INTERNET AND MULTI-MEDIA,
THE COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEMS OF OUR TIME, TODAY.

WE......ideally if we could identify ourselves as being a "collective voice",
which I put in writing above.....

WE NEED TO "ECHO BACK" THAT WE ARE GRATEFUL
TO HAVE "OUR VOICES HEARD"!!!!

AND WE SHOULD ASK THAT THEY CONTINUE TO ECHO
OUR MESSAGE TO THE WORLD POPULATION FOR THEIR SUPPORT
OF "OUR CAUSE IN SEEKING JUSTICE FOR HAWAII, OUR HOME"

This is Not the time, for us to "turn our back" on such an auspicious opportunity;
and choose to only "speak amongst ourselves" about all the "wrong doings"
of the past and present, and Do NOTHING.

To STAND in firmness - Onipa`a - for your "personal political position"
on what form of government you believe we need to have in the future,
is putting the cart way ahead of the horse, which has arrived for us "to ride".

Start identifying WHO you are. Either by your Ohana name, or the place you
can represent, or do as I do....I stand as "Hui Aloha Aina"...NOT a "Group",
not an individual, but as a "descendant of those who stood up on record
in 1897 to support our Queen".

WE of the blood, are of the blood...related...ohana nui.
WE are "kanakamaoli o Hawai`i nei" - indigenous, from the aina.

Only 44,000 kanakamaoli SURVIVED to be alive in 1872,
WE ALL come from those 44,000.

In 1897 there were two petitions taken to DC, but only one
is "recorded" and still on file. The number of signatures
on the particular petition is approximately 26,000!!

It is CLEAR that there was "UNITY" among ALL HAWAIIANS
AGAINST US ANNEXATION OF HAWAII!!!

After 100+ years of our being "disenfranchised and dismissed"
as "a People and as a Nation" it would likely be deemed under
any lawful international tribunal; that it is difficult for us to be
"organized as one collective body" today.

We could be termed "diaspora in our homeland".

Hawai`i Pono`i.

I mua kakou.

Kudos to Nancy for her brilliant work on The Pinky Show, and boundless gratitude to her (and Pinky!) for speaking truth to power in this clever, indomitable way. May this episode have wide, wide circulation. Perhaps we should email all U.S. representatives a link to this video!
Mahalo, Ku, for posting it!

Sooner or later, the truth comes out.

Prior to the U.S. invasion and belligerent occupation in 1893, the Kingdom of Hawai'i was recognized worldwide as a sovereign independent nation-state. It had its monetary system accepted by the intrnational countries, it had its own postage stamps recognized universally, and was the first nation to recognize the independence of Argentina. Being a Constitutional Monarchy like Great Britain, the people democratically elected two of its monarchs.

The U.S.A. created neo-colonialism by covertly and overtly conspired to takeover one of its peers, a sovereign independent nation-state, and colonialized it and forced assimilated it to its racist WASP ethnocentric society.

Now they want to separate most of the Hawaii nationals and create a tribal government of native American indigenous people saying they are restoring the Kingdom as it was (which it isn't) as a nation to nation dependent to the U.S. via the Akaka Bill.

The definition of nation within a nation is simply defined as occupation of one nation over another. The U.S.A. continues to be the master of illusion; deceit, aggression, and lies.

Depleted Uranium is WMD

by Leuren Moret

My grandfather, U.S. Army Col. Edwin Joseph McAllister, was born in Battle Creek in 1895. He does not know that his first grandchild is an international expert on depleted uranium. I have worked in
two U.S. nuclear weapons laboratories, and in 1991 I became a whistleblower at the Livermore lab. Depleted uranium is very, very, very nasty stuff:Depleted uranium (DU) weaponry meets the definition
of weapon of mass destruction in two out of three categories under U.S. Federal Code Title 50 Chapter 40 Section 2302.DU weaponry violates all international treaties and agreements, Hague and Geneva
war conventions, the 1925 Geneva gas protocol, U.S. laws and U.S. military law.Since 1991, the U.S. has released the radioactive atomicity equivalent of at least 400,000 Nagasaki bombs into the
global atmosphere. That is 10 times the amount released during atmospheric testing which was the equivalent of 40,000 Hiroshima bombs. The U.S. has permanently contaminated the global atmosphere with
radioactive pollution having a half-life of 2.5 billion years.The U.S. has illegally conducted four nuclear wars in Yugoslavia, Afghanistan and twice in Iraq since 1991, calling DU "conventional"
weapons when in fact they are nuclear weapons.DU on the battlefield has three effects on living systems: it is a heavy metal "chemical" poison, a "radioactive" poison and has a "particulate" effect
due to the very tiny size of the particles that are 0.1 microns and smaller.The blueprint for DU weaponry is a 1943 Manhattan Project memo to Gen. L. Groves that recommended development of
radioactive materials as poison gas weapons - dirty bombs, dirty missiles and dirty bullets.DU weapons are very effective kinetic energy penetrators, but even more effective bioweapons since uranium
has a strong chemical affinity for phosphate structures concentrated in DNA.DU is the Trojan Horse of nuclear war - it keeps giving and keeps killing. There is no way to clean it up, and no way to
turn it off because it continues to decay into other radioactive isotopes in over 20 steps.Terry Jemison at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs stated in August 2004 that over 518,000 Gulf-era
veterans (14-year period) are now on medical disability, and that 7,039 were wounded on the battlefield in that same period. Over 500,000 U.S. veterans are homeless.In some studies of soldiers who
had normal babies before the war, 67 percent of the post-war babies are born with severe birth defects - missing brains, eyes, organs, legs and arms, and blood diseases.In southern Iraq, scientists
are reporting five times higher levels of gamma radiation in the air, which increases the radioactive body burden daily of inhabitants. In fact, Iraq, Yugoslavia and Afghanistan are
uninhabitable.Cancer starts with one alpha particle under the right conditions. One gram of DU is the size of a period in this sentence and releases 12,000 alpha particles per second.Before my
grandfather died, he told me that his generation had made a mess of this planet. I wonder what he would say to me now I would tell him to see "Beyond Treason" (www.beyondtreason.com), a new
documentary about the history of treason by the U.S. government against our own troops: Atomic veterans, MK-Ultra, Agent Orange and DU. After Vietnam, Henry Kissinger said, "Military men are just
dumb, stupid animals to be used as pawns in foreign policy. . ." (from Chapter 5 in the "Final Days" by Woodward and Bernstein).Loren Moret is an international radiation specialist with a B.S. degree
in geology from University of California at Davis, a M.A. degree in Near Eastern studies from University of California at Berkeley and has done post-graduate work in the geosciences at UC-Davis. She
is environmental commissioner for the City of Berkeley, Calif.

Mollycoddling Mubarak, Mugging Mugabe



By Stephen Gowans



...If Mubarak is a virtual dictator who locks up critics, jails opponents, and bans political parties, why does US president Barack Obama call him a force for “good” and deny charges that Mubarak is “an authoritarian leader”? Washington maintains sanctions on Zimbabwe because it says the country’s president, Robert Mugabe, who regularly runs in contested elections, hasn’t banned political parties, and hasn’t arranged a hereditary succession, is authoritarian, anti-democratic and has clung to power too long (he has been in power only one year longer than Mubarak.) Yet Mubarak, the anti-socialist, pro-imperialist point man for Washington , is praised by Obama and propped up with military aid, while Mugabe, the land reforming, anti-imperialist, is targeted for regime change.

Motion to Stop Incineration of Umatilla Mustard Agent to Be Heard by Court Tomorrow

Argument Details Lack of Permitting & Health Risks for Oregon , Washington Citizens



( Washington , D.C) – The Government Accountability Project (GAP), on behalf of Oregon environmental group GASP, Oregon Wildlife Federation, the Sierra Club, and other petitioners, have filed a motion in the Circuit Court for the State of Oregon, County of Multnomah, seeking a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction to stop the incineration of more than 2,600 “ton containers” of mustard agent at the Umatilla Chemical Depot (UCD) near Hermiston, Oregon. The court will hear the argument tomorrow, Friday June 12 at 1:30 p.m. PDT. Burning of the agent reportedly began late last week, according to several news articles.



The burning of the mustard agent found in ‘ton containers’ at Umatilla has been delayed amidst much controversy for nearly two years, due to several issues. Most prominently among these is the unknown levels of mercury in the agent, which Oregon state reports have shown significantly increases the risk of health and environmental damage for surrounding populations when burned and released into the environment.



“We’re asking the court to stop this burning, which we believe poses a serious health threat to citizens of Oregon and Washington state,” said GAP Senior Counsel Richard Condit , who will argue the motion before the Court tomorrow in Portland .



Unlike similar chemical depot plants with this type of mustard agent, the quantities of such hazardous wastes in the ‘ton containers’ stored in the Umatilla stockpile (63 percent by weight of all the stockpiled munitions) have never been determined, because the EQC and Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) have refused to require testing of each of the ton containers. It is known that UCD’s mustard agent does contain significant amounts of mercury, however, because plant officials announced it did in 2007. The EQC and DEQ decided last year to move forward with their incineration plan, despite evidence included in a risk assessment showing that the risk of cancer to humans posed by the incineration plan exceeded Oregon ’s acceptable risk standards. A critique of that assessment by Dr. Peter deFur indicates that the risks posed by the incineration of mustard agent at the Umatilla facility are significantly underestimated by the Army, DEQ and contractors that prepared the assessment. In particular, the risks posed to children were inadequately evaluated.



Click here to read Dr. Peter deFur’s critique: http://www.whistleblower.org/doc/2009/defur.pdf



Both agencies were presented with proposals regarding alternatives to destroying the agent, such as “controlled detonation” technology (which other Army facilities are inquiring about) and a chemical “neutralization” method (which has been praised by both communities near the chemical weapons stockpiles and the Army). However, t
