IS THE STATE OF HAWAI'I FACT OR FICTION ?
HERE'S WHAT A PROMINENT RETIRED ATTORNEY HAS TO SAY -
At a meeting in Kona, a retired O'ahu lawyer, gave his insights to questions regarding legitimacy of the State of Hawai'i and the quest for Hawaiian independence.
Two most interesting statements he made were:
1."The State of Hawai'i is a fiction.”He repeated this several times. A good analogy. For instance, books are nonfiction or fiction; one true, the other made up.
2."If you are a Hawaiian National and vote in the State of Hawai'i or federal elections, you destroy what you are trying to accomplish. You acquiesce to their jurisdiction and become a U.S. citizen. You cannot be both at the same time.”
History shows that Hawaiians successfully eluded all the plots, machinations and terrorism of the occupying nation for 111 years by objecting as one voice to annexation in the beginning with the amazing Monster Petition of 1897, and then simply by not voting in the occupying nation's elections.
The do-nothing strategy has held the status quo for Native Hawaiians despite the enormous odds against preservation of their inherent sovereignty for 111 years.
The last Office of Hawaiian Affairs referendum ploy in the 90's netted a whooping 9% vote and then they tried desperately to pad the numbers by counting the non responses as “yes“ which made OHA look ridiculous.
Viewed from this perspective, the recent newspaper articles deploring Hawaii's "voter apathy”are very good news indeed. They report only 44% of eligible Hawaiians vote against a national average of 60% voter turnout.
These figures seem to agree with the estimated figures of a 20% Native Hawaiian population in Hawai'i.
"History shows clearly that the Hawaiian Nation was not annexed - it was stolen!"
