KE AUPUNI UPDATE - FEBRUARY 2025
Annexing Canada?
Recent announcements by US President Trump that America should acquire (conquer? annex? buy?) Canada, Greenland and the Panama Canal shocked everyone. As if it was unheard of that America would do such a thing… take lands that don’t belong to them. Or at least not say it out loud for the world to hear!
Yet, taking lands from the previous “inhabitants” (people) is the modus operandi of the European illegal immigrant/refugees ever since they landed on the shores of “the New World.” Their attitude was: That’s a great place. I want it. If the people won’t give it to me, I’ll just take it. And they did, just as they had been doing for the previous century to Africa and Asia.
Part of the shock was that Canada and Panama are independent states and Greenland is in peaceful negotiations with Denmark for independence. How can the American government and the world allow the brazen threat of taking over Canada, Panama and Greenland?
We in Hawaii are not so surprised. President Trump’s statement was being honest about America’s bad habit of taking what it wants, legal or not. In fact, Hawaii is the genesis of America’s foreign policy of gunboat diplomacy. It all began here in Hawaii when America flexed its military might to topple the peaceful, friendly government of the Hawaiian Kingdom so the US could build a world-class naval base at Pearl Harbor.
This set the stage for the eventual takeover of Hawaii by the US five years later. Why have just Pearl Harbor, when they could “annex” the whole archipelago as a US military base and command center to flex US military might (and extend US political/economic interests) over half of the surface of the World? This became the template for American intervention, interference and bullying in foreign countries for the past 132 years. So why are Americans so surprised and shocked at President Trump wanting to take over Canada. Greenland and the Panama Canal… and now the Gaza Strip?
President Trump’s statement exposes the truth about how deep-seated the “America first” mentality really is. America’s own people are shocked because they’ve been living in denial. But this “us first” mentality is definitely not unique to America.
Every country engenders patriotism among their people and places their national interests as first and foremost. In her 1898 open letter of appeal to the people of America, our Queen wrote, “Oh, honest Americans, as Christians hear me for my downtrodden people! Their form of government is as dear to them as yours is as precious to you. Quite warmly as you love your country, so they love theirs…”
So, could it be that President Trump’s outrageous statement about absorbing other countries may awaken the people to understand what we have been trying to tell them? That Hawaii is not part of the US, but a peaceful, sovereign, independent nation, hijacked and swept up by America’s relentless march to world domination?
The question is not, Are there any clever or powerful or brave Americans?
The real question is, Are there any honest Americans?
