GUESS WHO "BLINKED" ON VOICES OF TRUTH – ONE-ON-ONE WITH HAWAI`I’S FUTURE

One week ago today on Sovereign Sunday, about forty brave Hawai`i National patriots faced down a large armed contingent of law enforcement officers from the Department of Land and Natural Resources on `Iolani Palace grounds.

Some of the officers wore camouflage uniforms – most were wearing bulletproof vests.

Arrest of the assembled crowd was threatened.

And for what? Performing Hawaiian cultural practices without a permit from the fake state of Hawai`i - raising the Kingdom flag, saying prayers over the ancient burial mound, and erecting small canopies to protect food brought.

The patriots decided to proceed and risk arrest.

In the end it was the fake state that blinked – making no arrests, officers confiscating the canopies and then backing off.

The lesson? The Hawaiian Kingdom lives and the illegal US occupation is the paper tiger.

A nation's gratitude goes out to those brave patriots who won the day.

More and more are now stepping forward to ku`e, or take a stand. We've got two awesome examples for you this week right here on Voices Of Truth – One-On-One With Hawai`i’s Future.
