WERE HAWAIIANS THE ONLY ONES WRONGED?
The forceful takeover of the Hawaiian Kingdom in 1893, adversely affected a country’s government, its lands and its citizens, not only the members of a single ethnic group.
It was the Hawaiian Kingdom — a nation — that was taken, not the aboriginal people — the kanaka maoli (what the US and the state of Hawai`i insist on calling, “Native Hawaiians.”)
Yes, kanaka maoli were harmed by the loss of their nation, but so were many non-aboriginal subject/citizens of the Hawaiian Kingdom - Asians, Caucasian, Polynesians and so forth.
This is a crucial point. When a nation is stolen, all the citizens of that nation are deprived of their country, not only the aboriginal people.
Both occupying governments, the US federal and its puppet, the fake state of Hawai`i either assert or presume in their laws and policies, that the takeover of 1893 affected only “Native Hawaiians.”
By purposefully limiting their culpability to “Native Hawaiians,” the US carefully conceals the true scope of the problem, presenting it as a domestic, localized, racially defined problem, rather than the violation of the unalienable rights of the citizens of a recognized sovereign foreign nation.

HAS THE U.S. TAKEOVER OF HAWAI`I BEEN A SUCCESS?
Honolulu Civil Beat - January 21, 2015
Hawaii holds the ignominious distinction of having the most homeless per capita for four years in a row, according to interactive maps created by Movoto, a real estate brokerage firm based in San Mateo, Calif.
In 2014, there were 487 homeless people per 100,000 Hawaii residents — 219 were unsheltered and 269 sheltered.
Hawaii’s homeless numbers have been the worst in the country since 2011 — in 2010, the state ranked third.
You can check out the maps here -

Meanwhile...
Hawaii has the fourth-highest number of millionaires per-capita in the US according to a new study.
The just-released Phoenix Global Wealth Monitor shows that stable economic growth helped Hawai`i maintain its ranking, according to lead researcher David Thompson.
The report's data shows 32,829 Hawaii households with $1 million or more in investable assets, for a ratio of 6.93 millionaires to the total household count.
ASSOCIATION OF HAWAIIAN CIVIC CLUBS LEADERSHIP HIJACKS WILL OF MEMBERS
Please Forward This To Every Hawaiian And Our Supporters.
The Association of Hawaiian Civic Clubs (AHCC) Board of Directors, headed by recently elected AHCC president and US federal recognition proponent Annell Amaral has announced they are forming a partnership with both the Council For Native Hawaiian Advancement (CNHA) and the Sovereign Council Of The Hawaiian Home Lands Assembly (SCHHA) to further the process of turning Kanaka Maoli into a US Indian tribe.
AHCC leadership has voted to commit AHCC funding to further this process.
You may view their entire announcement here - http://TinyURL.com/AHCCOutrage
This is an outrage for for two reasons -
First, no one in the Hawaiian Civic Club membership was consulted ahead of time.
Second, during the recent AHCC convention, a resolution was passed by Hawaiian Civic Club delegates from the convention floor recognizing the Hawaiian Kingdom as still existing.
If you are a Hawaiian Civic Club member, we encourage you to ask these questions -
Who authorized the AHCC BOD to form this partnership?
Were you consulted in this move ahead of time? Did you participate in this decision?
Who does the AHCC BOD actually represent other than themselves?
Why would the AHCC BOD so blatantly disregard the voice of Hawaiian Civic Club members who have already clearly spoken on the continued existence of the Hawaiian Kingdom?
WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO VOICE YOUR OUTRAGE AT THEIR PLAN TODAY.
Tell them they donʻt speak for you either as a Hawaiian Civic Club member, Hawaiian Homesteader, Hawaiian Kingdom National or Kanaka Maoli.
Tell them this is a contradiction of what Hawaiian Civic Club members have already decided.
Tell them you are outraged at a few making decisions for everyone and are opposed to their blatant disregard the will of the people.

CASH THAT MAKES A SPLASH!
DOES THE HAWAIIAN KINGDOM STILL EXIST?
Yes, despite outward appearances, according to established international standards, the lawful, sovereign entity, the Hawaiian Kingdom does exist.
Over the centuries, certain criteria have developed regarding the nature and character of nations, so that once a nation has been lawfully established, it is extremely difficult to extinguish.
There are only two ways a nation can be extinguished - 1) Conquest - involving the military defeat and subjugation of its people, along with the physical seizure of its territory by the victor; or 2) Consent - the un-coerced, free-will choice of its people to surrender and merge their nation’s sovereignty to another.
Even the unconditional surrender of Japan and Germany after World War II, did not extinguish their sovereignty. They became occupied states but still retained their national identity. They were still Japan and Germany and the occupying forces administered and enforced the laws of Japan and Germany respectively.
Even the incorporation of Eastern European states into the Soviet Union after World War II did not extinguish their sovereignty.
Despite complete domination by the USSR during the “cold war,” when the Soviet Union collapsed in the early 1990ʻs states like Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia, Czechoslovakia reemerged as sovereign and independent countries in continuity.
In the case of Hawai`i, after the illegal seizure and annexation, the status of the Hawaiian people (referring to nationals, not aboriginals) remained inviolate.
Neither a vote or plebiscite was ever conducted to gain the consent of the Hawaiian people to dissolve their country, the Hawaiian Kingdom. At no time did the Hawaiian Kingdom or Hawaiian nationals surrender their sovereignty or consent to a merger with the United States.
On the contrary, there was fiercely vociferous opposition to the initial seizure and both efforts at annexation, as evidenced by the massive petitions and the prodigious protests in the press.
The Hawaiian Kingdom continues to exist. It did not expire. It survives even having been buried alive under the layers of US deception and fraud.

IS IT ANY WONDER PEOPLE WANT THE ILLEGAL OCCUPATION OF HAWAI`I TO END?
Life Harder Under US Occupation 
The Hawaiian Kingdom grew all its own food and was even a food exporter to California during the Gold Rush days.
Today the fake state of Hawai`i imports 95% of all its food from the US.
In the 1980s, Hawai`i gained the enviable reputation of providing medical insurance to the highest percentage of residents of any state.
But after the state ended dental cover, toothless smiles are commonplace among the poor. Tens of thousands of residents have no medical insurance at all.
Despite higher profits for many businesses, jobs are scarce and most of the available work pays minimum wage or close to it.
In some cases, the lives of the working poor are worse than the unemployed. Among other things, they don't qualify for state financial assistance or full food stamp benefits.
Today most of Hawai`i island, Molokai, Lana`i and Kaua`i are economic wastelands with little opportunity to make a decent living.
Workers often share apartments or small houses with several other workers because rents are too expensive for one or two individuals to afford.
On every island married couples with children often work two or even three jobs just to make ends meet - if they are fortunate enough to find that many jobs, even at minimum wage.
HELP REPEAL THE NATIVE HAWAIIAN ROLL & ACT 195
Please forward this to every Hawaiian and our supporters.
It appears there may be an opportunity to repeal Act 195 and Kana`iolowalu and we ask for your kokua in making this happen.
Former Hawai`i state legislator and now newly elected OHA trustee Lei Ahu Isa has published an article in the January 2015 issue of Ka Wai Ola calling for the repeal of Act 195 and the abolishment of Kana`iolowalu, the Native Hawaiian Roll.
You may read her article here - http://TinyURL.com/LeiAhuIsa
She correctly points out that OHA has wasted many millions of Hawaiian beneficiary dollars on both the US federal Akaka bill and its state of Hawai`i version successor, Kana`iolowalu.
She also points out that OHA has been using “stone age” methods that are more costly than software and smart phone apps that exist today.
She states, “the Digital Age can help enroll our Native Hawaiian people without spending so much money…$$Millions on gathering signatures, only to have them stored away.. like the Kau Inoa roll call! EFFICIENCY must happen at OHA so we can use the Native Hawaiian Trust Fund to HELP our people."
Trustee Ahu Isa recognizes one other very important fact - that ”any accepted path forward must rise from the Hawaiian community, and the state and [US] federal government have no business trying to organize it or control it.”
Please contact OHA trustee Lei Ahu Isa today and let her know you support her effort to repeal Act 195 and Kana`iolowalu.
Ask trustee Ahu Isa to help initiate the introduction of a bill in the Hawai`i legislature to repeal Act 195.
Email her at alvina@oha.org who is her assistant and will be compiling the emails or call the Office of Hawaiian Affairs in Honolulu at (808) 594-1888.

FREE HAWAI`I OBSERVES
NAHI'ENA'ENA DAY
Princess Nahi`ena`ena, whose name means "stirring the fires," daughter of Kamehameha I, was born approximately in the year 1815, although the exact date isn't known.
Living through a period of great change in Hawai`i, her life was tragically cut short.
Defying the customs of the time, her mother, Keopuolani, kept her infant daughter by her side.
Nahi'ena'ena grew up constantly aware about her high ranking in a changing Hawai`i. This was a source of her conflicted life.
The last years of her life were one of illness and dejection. She gave birth to a son on September 1836. The baby lived for only a few hours.
Nahi'ena'ena never recovered from child birth. She died on December 30, 1836.
Nahi'ena'ena's death, at age 21, was observed for the first time in modern times on December 30, 2001 with traditional Kanaka Maoli (native Hawaiian) protocols at `Iolani Palace Grounds in Honolulu.
Today we remember and honor this descendant of Kamehameha the Great as another fallen warrior - casualty of the invasion and occupation of a foreign culture and military power.
HERE'S WHAT HAWAI`I NATIONALS SAID WHEN THE US OVERTHREW & STOLE THE HAWAIIAN KINGDOM IN 1893
"We protest against the movement in favor of doing away with the independence of our country; we protest against the effort to force annexation to the US without consulting the people...."
- Hui Aloha `Aina (Hawaiian Patriotic League)

WILL EVERYONE HAVE TO BE UNITED BEFORE GAINING A FREE HAWAI`I?
While unity sounds nice, it is not necessary or realistic to reclaim a nation.
After all, how unified is the United States?
In America’s two-party system, aren’t those two parties diametrically opposed over nearly every issue?
We need look no further than the current budget crisis in Washington, DC for the answer.
And what about the subdivisions of the many factions? Democrats, Republicans, Libertarians, Conservative Democrats, Liberal Democrats, Conservative Republicans, Liberal Republicans, Independents, Socialists, etc.
If unification is the ideal criteria, shouldn’t all these American factions be in unity or in agreement before the US makes any important decision or takes any action or conducts its operations?
Have you ever watched the US congress or the British parliament in session? Do they exemplify unity?
If you really think about it, democracy is the opposite of unity, while only dictatorships demand unity.
So why should Hawai`i have to conform to a standard that no other nation, not even the US, is required to uphold?
A Free Hawai`i is the unifying cause.
The various factions are already united in what matters most — a burning desire to see Hawai`i restored as an independent, sovereign nation.
