Hawaiians need to come together quickly
Isn't it funny how an illegal occupying nation like the United
States of America can hold a gun to our king's head, force him to
sign an illegal constitution, bring in the USS Boston with guns,
cannons, Marines with rifles and tons of ammunition, threaten our
queen and jail her illegally, and now tell our Hawaiian people who
qualifies as a Hawaiian and who doesn't?
The U.S. doesn't tell the native people of North America that they
have to have a blood quantum to qualify as an Indian or an Eskimo.
Maybe the reason is because they can stick these people on more snow
and sand than we could ever imagine, while we Hawaiians have a
limited amount of land and we sit in the middle of the Pacific. So
for colonization purposes and military dominance of the Pacific,
America treats us like dogs! And we Hawaiians keep fighting over who
will lead us.
It's time for Na Kupuna, Ka Lahui, the reinstated Hawaiian
government, the Living Nation, and all the other facets representing
the Hawaiians and the people of Hawaii to come together and have a
gathering and truly oni pa'a. This way our people can see how truly
strong we are, and see for themselves how great our numbers are, and
most importantly how we all have the same hunger in our eyes.
Wake up, Hawaii! OHA and Hawaiian Home Lands were manifestations of
the nation that occupies our Hawaii. Its main purpose is to drive a
wedge between our people. So while we keep fighting among each other
more land is disappearing, more aloha is vanishing, and Hawaii is
slowly going down the hale lua.
Hawaiian leaders, e ala mai! By the time you all stop fighting and
the dust clears, there will be nothing left. Aue! Aue! Aue!
