MEMO AUTHOR RIGHT ABOUT NO ANNEXATION OF HAWAI`I
Honolulu Star-Advertiser - September 1, 2014
Regarding the August 24 front-page story, “Memo implies nation effort leads to war crimes,”
All the state "pooh-poohers" have to do to refute Keanu Saiʻs memo is show that the US followed proper procedures to lawfully acquire the Hawaiian Islands. That should be pretty simple. Just show us a duly executed treaty of annexation.
What? There is none?
Oh wait! Yes, there is one, cast in bronze in the hand of the statue of William McKinley in front of McKinley High School.
But, other than that fanciful artistic rendering, no real treaty of annexation exists! Then no jurisdiction transferred.
No annexation, no Territory of Hawai`i. No Territory of Hawai`i, no state of Hawai`i.
If anyone at the Star-Advertiser would bother to do a little research, if they honestly examined the facts, they would see that in all its blustering and “pooh poohing,” the State of Hawai`i has never produced concrete proof that it has lawful jurisdiction in the Hawaiian Islands.
Dr. Sai is right.
