He also reveals that he and his family would have had land taken away had mandatory lease-hold conversion succeeded in Honolulu earlier this year.

As he did some soul-searching to discover what his role would be to help stop the desecration and theft, he found himself transforming from potential victim to telling the stories to others as an award winning producer for `Olelo television on `Oahu.

WHO REALLY OWNS THE LAND TODAY IN HAWAI'I ?

Land Titles Issued Today Are Very Much In Doubt -

"Clear Title," regarding legitimate legal ownership of land in Hawai'i is a topic quickly becoming an issue in the political and commercial areas.

With more lands being "quiet titled" in the courts by unscrupulous characters with the aid of foreign laws (USA and state of Hawai'i) illegally imposed against the rightful/legal owners of these lands and a judicial system aiding and abetting in these crimes; its no wonder developers want to build 1,100 new luxury homes in Makena and elsewhere.

Land titles in Hawai'i continue to carry the original "royal patent" from the mahele in the 1800's during Kingdom of Hawai`i days.

If the U.S. Government or state of Hawai'i and their citizens rightfully have "clear title" to these lands, then why has the U.S. patent not replaced the royal patent as it was done in 49 other states.

Answer: Each royal patent has been "adjudicated," making them all a legal decree.When purchasing land, a "warranty deed" is issued, not a clear title per se. Shouldn't a clear title be guaranteed?

Unless, of course, there is no clear title to the land.

SHOULDN'T HAWAIIANS BE GLAD THEY'RE A PART OF THE U.S. ?

HERE'S HOW NATIVE HAWAIIANS FEEL ABOUT THE OVERTHROW OF THEIR COUNTRY -

Let's pretend I visit your house. You offer me food and rest. I decide to stay.

Then, I order you and your family around, use your things and rearrange the rooms. I take down your photos and religious symbols, replace them with my own and make you speak my language.

One day, I dig up your garden and replace it with crops that I can sell. You and your family must now buy all of your food from me.

Later, I invite my father and his buddies over. They bring guns. We take your keys.

I forge a deed and declare my father to be the owner of your house.

I bring more people. Some work for me. Some pay me to stay in your house. I seize your savings and spend it on my friends. You and your family now sleep on the porch.

Finally you protest. Being reasonable, I let you stay in a corner of the house and give you a small allowance, but only if you behave.

I tell you, "Sorry, I was wrong for taking the house."

But when you demand your house back, I tell you to be realistic."You are part of this family now, whether you like it or not," I say. "Besides, this is for your own good.

For all that I have done for you, why aren't you grateful?"

HOW DOES HAWAI'I TREAT HAWAIIANS ?
NO NEED TO GOOGLE TO FIND OUT !
HERE'S WHAT A BOSTON GLOBE REPORT SAYS

Hawaii's Homeless Law Fuels Tension - State To Debut At Third On List Of 'Meanest' - By Pat Bigold, Globe Correspondent

HONOLULU -- Despite a strong state economy, the homeless rate in Hawai`i has nearly doubled over the past four years, and the majority of the new homeless are native Hawaiians and those with some Hawaiian ancestry.

From fabled Waikiki Beach, one of the places where the homeless congregate on O`ahu, to the neighboring islands that conjure the image of paradise to planeloads of tourists who arrive daily, there is increasing tension between the thousands of homeless people, their advocates, and state, city, and county governments.

Hawaiians represent only about 18 percent of the state's population, but the state survey suggested they make up 37 percent of the state's homeless population.

THE TRUTH IS OUT - 99% OF ALL HAWAIIANS DID NOT WANT THE U.S. TO ANNEX HAWAI`I

The Maui News - Letter to the Editor

Thurston Twigg-Smith pointed out his March 31 letter that the Native Hawaiian speaker of the House of the Legislature in 1898 requested the U.S. to annex Hawai`i.

How ironic that 99 percent of this speaker's countrymen, almost all of the Native Hawaiians throughout all the islands, signed a petition to U.S. Congress asking that the U.S. not annex Hawai`i.

This petition was rediscovered in the U.S. Archives only within the past 10 years, and today's Hawaiians were proud to find the signatures of their ancestors on this document.

HIDDEN AGENDAS & UNEXPECTED OUTCOMES AWAIT HAWAIIANS IF FEDERAL RECOGNITION PASSES !

From The Honolulu Advertiser -

After reading your analyses and studying the complete text of the [Akaka] bill you published April 10, I am not sure whether it is more like a "pig in a poke" or a Pandora's box.

It has characteristics of both:

As your analyses correctly pointed out, no one can be sure now what will be the final result of the sovereignty process that the bill authorizes.

The fact that emotions are already running high in both the pro-bill and anti-bill camps leads one to expect unpleasant racial and ethnic tensions when details are worked out years down the road.

The only thing certain about the Akaka bill is that we have no way of knowing today how it will impact the various segments of Hawai'i's population and institutions, because all the bill does is set in motion a series of negotiations with totally unpredictable outcomes.

The fact that the current strategy of our congressional delegation is to advance the bill "under the radar" speaks volumes.

AKAKA BILL DEVIOUS ATTEMPT TO AVOID TRUTH & JUSTICE

The Honolulu Advertiser

In 1993, the United States of America admitted in U.S. Public Law 103-150 that it had deprived the Native Hawaiian people of their right to self-determination and that the native people have never given up their right of "inherent sovereignty."

Understanding this, it is clear that the Akaka bill is not a fair or just solution.

International laws, treaties and conventions have been broken. U.S. constitutional law and Hawaiian kingdom law have been broken. Restitution and reparations are due.

The Akaka bill does not address these crimes at all.

There have been seven or eight versions of the bill, yet only one hearing on one island in Hawai'i before the Hawaiian people.

How can the Hawaiian people determine for themselves what they are really going to get or lose? Why hasn't the process included open and in-depth discussion in the Hawaiian communities so that Hawaiians may have input?

I'm not talking about one or two meetings, I'm talking about many meetings in each community.

This bill is about the building of a nation. One hearing isn't fair or logical. As it stands, the Akaka bill is simply a devious attempt to avoid the truth and justice.

HOW DID HAWAI`I BECOME A STATE ?
HERE'S WHAT A NEWSPAPER IN RACINE, WISCONSIN HAD TO SAY...

The Journal Times, Racine, WI - November 11, 2004

...The United States acquired Hawaii through force.

Queen Lili'uokalani, Hawaii's last Queen, was deposed on Jan. 17, 1893, by a group of American businessmen supported by the United States Navy and Marine Corps and diplomatic representatives.

Sovereignty of Hawai`i transferred to the U.S. on Aug. 12, 1898 during ceremonies at Iolani Palace in Honolulu, on the island of Oahu. Hawai`i became a U.S. territory in 1900.

On Nov. 23, 1993, The United States apologized for illegally overthrowing the Kingdom of Hawai`i, and recognized the inherent sovereignty and right of self-determination of native islanders.

Needless to say, a lot of shady events took place between Jan. 17,1893 and Aug. 21, 1959.

Hawaiian sovereignty is still a hot issue in the islands to this day and likely will be for as long as the United States flag flies over Hawai`i.

ALOHA!
If This Is Your First Visit To FREEHAWAII.INFO, Welcome!

FREEHAWAII.INFO is dedicated to restoring independence and sovereignty to the Hawaiian Islands.

In 1893, the independant nation of Hawai'i was illegally overthrown by rich American sugar barons and the US marines.

Then President Cleveland condemned it by calling it "an act of war."

Did You Know?

OVER 98% OF ALL NATIVE HAWAIIANS AND MOST NON-NATIVE SUBJECTS OF THE HAWAIIAN KINGDOM WERE FULLY OPPOSED TO THE ILLEGAL OVERTHROW.

Today, those decendants of the Nation carry forth the voices of their ancestors and still oppose the illegal occupation of the US government in Hawai'i.

Hawai'i was a free nation - but never free for the taking!

WHAT ARE THE FOUR ELEMENTS OF SOVEREIGNTY AND SELF-DETERMINATION ?

1. A land base - the Hawaiian islands.

2. A distinct population - all peoples possessing the inherent right to the Hawaiian kingdom.

3. A Government - the government that was unlawfully overthrown.

4. Sovereignty itself and the right to exercise it. A place in the Family of Nations.

"Our nation is alive no matter how long it takes for justice to be done!"
