KE AUPUNI UPDATE - APRIL 2024
A Nation on the Rise...
Steven Biko, the great South African writer and activist said: “The most potent weapon in the hands of the oppressor is the mind of the oppressed.” How true! If people think of themselves as oppressed victims, they remain oppressed victims.
If we think the United States is the boss, and use words like “mainland”, and identify ourselves as Americans, we bind ourselves to the oppressor.
On the other hand, if we think and act as a free people, then we are a free people… and whatever constraints imposed by the U.S. and the Fake State are merely temporary obstacles… obstacles that we can overcome.
Remember, Queen Liliʻuokalani never surrendered. She filed a diplomatic protest, by which she temporarily yielded her authority, “until such time as the Government of the United States shall, upon the facts being presented to it, undo the action of its representative, and reinstate me in the authority which I claim as the constitutional sovereign of the Hawaiian Islands.”
Yes, it has taken more than a hundred and thirty years, but the time for reinstatement is here!
Our country is not going to be “given back” to us. It never went anywhere. It’s still here! Yes, the intruder has really messed things up, but we can fix it and rebuild it into a country that reflects the best of who we are as a people, and a unique culture in a global community.
The time of thinking of ourselves as a nation in distress has passed. We are a nation on the rise! And the more we assert it, not in a prideful way, but rooted and confident in Aloha ʻĀina and Kapu Aloha, the sooner our nation will be restored.
In fact, have you noticed the progress weʻre making? Recently the State of Hawaii has been making numerous concessions and even siding with us on key issues… like demanding the US Navy close its giant fuel storage facility at Kapūkakī (Red Hill); installing a new, collaborative management system for Mauna Kea; appropriating a billion dollars to begin making up for a hundred years of criminal negligence of the Hawaiian Home Lands trust… Even smaller things like — renaming part of Waimanalo Beach Park, Hūnānāniho; renaming a Kona post office Kaʻawaloa instead of Captain Cook; renaming Central Middle School to Princess Ruth Ke’elikōlani Middle School; recognizing Lā Hoʻihoʻi Ea (Sovereignty Restoration Day), recognizing Lā Kuokoa (Independence Day) as significant events and holidays of the Hawaiian Kingdom — not to mention the numerous celebrations and kūʻe actions by thousands of people ... all serving to remind us that the Lāhui is alive and growing!
Yes, there have been many egregious wrongs committed against us, and there are many battles ahead, but we are making great progress from when we started years ago. As long as we stay focused on making things pono for the future using the ways of Aloha ʻĀina and Kapu Aloha... Thatʻs how we will Free Hawaii...
“Love of country is deep-seated in the breast of every Hawaiian, whatever his station.” — Queen Liliʻuokalani
