Ua Mau Ke Ea O Ka `Aina I Ka Pono.
• Press At The UN
I just returned again from another trip to the United Nations headquarters in New York and Geneva.
The main benefit in attending meetings at the UN is to be able to tell our story and drum up interest among diplomats, UN officials and agencies, NGOs and all the other onlookers. The UN Human Rights Council in Geneva, is an ideal platform to tell our story by presenting interventions on the items being discussed in the plenary sessions, speaking on various panels, and mingling with people in the margins of the meeting.
One of the most important components in the talk-story mix is the international press.
Over the years, we have established solid credibility through dozens of articles published by various news agencies from around the world. A recent article that got much attention at the UN was in the January 2019 issue of Diva International Diplomat, a quarterly glossy magazine published at the UN in Geneva.
ACANU (the Association of Accredited Correspondents at the United Nations) oversees the press corps at the UN. On June 28, ACANU hosted a press briefing featuring Rob Kajiwara, Catherine Fisher and me, about human rights violations occurring in Hawaii and Okinawa. Interest was so keen, the briefing lasted over 90 minutes (far exceeding the allotted 1 hour) during which we were able to answer a lot of questions and cover a lot of ground… our history, living under foreign rule, current conditions, the struggle to restore self-governance and self-reliance; the TMT and Mauna Kea, illegal detentions, discrimination and persecution of Hawaiian subjects, falsification and transferal of land titles to foreign interests, economic tyranny, pillaging of Hawaii’s resources, etc.
As I said before, the world is waking up and beginning to listen. Briefings like this is to prepare the international press so they won’t be surprised when we start to move… Imua!
Ua mau ke ea o ka ʻāina i ka pono. The sovereignty (life) of the land is perpetuated in righteousness.

KE AUPUNI UPDATE - JUNE 2019

Ua Mau Ke Ea O Ka `Aina I Ka Pono.
• Back At The UN In Geneva
Over the years at the UN, we have developed friendships and mutual support among many peoples and nations (Alaska, Kashmir, Western Sahara, West Papua, etc.) working to free themselves from captive situations. Working together gives us some real advantages as we help to bolster each other’s efforts.
I’m back at the UN in Geneva attending the 41st Session of the UN Human Rights Council. With me are two representatives of the Okinawa independence movement whom we assisted in getting accredited and oriented to attend the UN meeting.
The leader is Robert Kajiwara, who is actually a Hawaiian Kingdom subject of Okinawan descent. Rob is an envoy sent by our Hawaiian Kingdom Ministry of Foreign Affairs to Okinawa to hook up with their independence movement.
Okinawa is in a situation very similar to the Hawaiian Islands… invaded and illegally “annexed” by a foreign power; in their case, Japan. Then, after everyone else had been liberated, consigned by UN action to remain in the hands of their captors who turned their paradise into an armed fortress.
Rob read a 2-minute intervention (statement) at the HRC on Tuesday calling for a draw-down of military installations and self-determination for Okinawa. It created a huge sensation in Japan! It was the number one news item in all of Japan’s media.
Today, a joint Hawai`i and Okinawa briefing was held for the UN press corps. These are usually 30-minute affairs. Ours lasted for over 90 minutes! The press asked about the subjugation of our islands by the U.S.; the TMT on Mauna Kea; what we thought of the nuclear threat to our people… I told them about the arbitrary detention of Bradley Pai, Robert Warren and Alfred Spinney as being politically motivated … and the systemic discrimination against Hawaiian subjects by the State of Hawai`i and agents of the United States. They were taken aback… This is going on in Hawai`i?
The world is waking up and beginning to listen.

KE AUPUNI UPDATE - SEPTEMBER 2018
By Leon Siu - Hawaiian National
Keeping in touch and updated on activities regarding the restoration of Ke Aupuni o Hawai`i, the Hawaiian Kingdom.
Ua Mau Ke Ea O Ka `Aina I Ka Pono.
Aloha from Geneva -
I am currently at the Palais des Nations, headquarters for the United Nations in Geneva… (this is my fourth time this year)… Where I'm continuing to pursue support for the Hawaiian Kingdom from foreign diplomats, UN officials, the press and others that congregate here at the UN. From here I'll go to New York where the heads of states and other dignitaries will be gathered for the opening of the 73rd Session of the UN General Assembly.
Some very positive signs are developing. Despite the crisis and chaos going on in parts of the world, states (countries) are becoming more and more interested in the Hawaii situation. Some of the diplomats who used to politely nod and say “thatʻs interesting” or “I wish you all the best” or “you’ve got a big task ahead of you” have recently started to say, “How do you think we can help?” or “have you tried this…?” or “maybe you should talk to…”
Another recent development is on the day I arrived on my previous visit to Geneva in June to attend the UN Human Rights Council, the United States announced they were immediately pulling out of the Human Rights Council.
Several people jokingly said, “See, you arrive and the US retreats!” or something to that effect. But itʻs partially true. Weʻre not the only ones putting on the pressure, but we (Hawaii and Alaska), have been making the U.S. uncomfortable by continually raising the question of how the U.S. came to be in control and how we came to be integrated as “states” into the United States; and the numerous human rights violations resulting from the prolonged occupation of Hawaii. And when other countries started to ask those questions, it made the U.S. representatives visibly nervous.
The US has left the Human Rights Council, leaving us, Hawaii and Alaska, to press our concerns at this important forum without opposition.
Speaking of the UN -
Dr. Alfred deZayas, the UN Independent Expert (Emeritus) for the promotion of a democratic and equitable international order, sends his regards to all, and is pleased that his memorandum has been helpful to us. As he says, “Facts are facts, you canʻt argue with the facts.” He’s on holiday with his wife who just retired after 30 years as a UN official. Theyʻre on their way from Switzerland to Holland… riding bicycles.
And Speaking of the Memo -
The deZayas memorandum has given quite a boost to our advocacy for a Free Hawaii. Already itʻs being used by some in the following ways -
Councilwoman Jen Ruggles asked the Hawaii County Council whether she is committing a war crime by serving on the council, a governing body that appears to be functioning in violation of the Laws of Occupation. She requested an opinion from County Corporate Counsel Joe Kamelamela who basically said: No you wonʻt incur any criminal liability. That was a highly flippant answer with no facts or arguments to back his “legal" opinion. It doesn’t appear that Kamelamela has any expertise or background in international law, therefore, he is incompetent to render an opinion. The best and most honest answer he could have given was: “I donʻt know” and then call in someone who is competent in international humanitarian law. So thereʻs an impasse. Jen Ruggles wants an answer and wonʻt serve until she gets an answer. And the county/state is scared to death of finding that answer.
Routh Bolometʻs fight for her lands is what triggered the memo from Dr. deZayas. The whole thing is too complex to get into right now, but you should hear Routh’s story when you can by watching it here - https://youtu.be/_hrIoex44Ew
In a nutshell, several years ago Routh went to the county/state to ask to see the title for the property she "owned.” In getting the runaround, but being very persistent, she uncovered not just a can of worms, but the whole nest of vipers that comprise the great Hawaii land scam. To shut her up from asking uncomfortable questions, the lending institution, bank, insurance company and the courts conspired (colluded?) and initiated foreclosure proceedings on her property, committing all kinds of fraud and other criminal acts in the process.
Tomorrow, Tuesday September 18 Routh will be appearing before (confronting?) one of the two state judges to whom deZayas addressed his memorandum. It should be very interesting, to say the least. Routh is asking everyone who can to show your support by being at the courtroom tomorrow, Tuesday, September 18, 9:30 AM, 777 Punchbowl Street, State Circuit Court Building, 4th Floor, courtroom of Judge Jeanette A. Castagnetti.
Aloha Aina,

FIRST RATE UNITED NATIONS UPDATE ON “VOICES OF TRUTH - ONE-ON-ONE WITH HAWAI`IʻS FUTURE”
"United Nations Update - A Visit With Leon Siu"
Thereʻs been some amazing progress for a Free Hawai`i at the United Nations of late. And whoʻs been right in the middle of it all is none other than Hawaiian patriot Leon Siu. Spending considerable time recently in Geneva and other foreign cities Leonʻs been right there in the thick of all the action. We finally caught up with Leon back home in Hawai`i for an update and we think youʻll be as surprised as we are when you hear how far things have come - Watch It Here

"Law Of The Splintered Paddle - A Visit With Laulani Teale"
There were many laws governing ancient Hawai`i, but none more significant than Kanawai Mamala Hoe, or Law Of The Splintered Paddle, decreed by Kamehameha I. So when peacemaker and activist Laulani Teale recently had a banner commemorating Kanawai Mamala Hoe confiscated by local authorities at a De-Occupy Honolulu encampment, she naturally wanted it back. When attempts to meet with the mayor resulted in her arrest, she only became more determined. Donʻt miss our fascinating visit with Laulani as she reveals what happened to her banner and why Honoluluʻs mayor turned and ran when he saw her coming. - Watch It Here

"United Nations Update - A Visit With Leon Siu"
Thereʻs been some amazing progress for a Free Hawai`i at the United Nations of late. And whoʻs been right in the middle of it all is none other than Hawaiian patriot Leon Siu. Spending considerable time recently in Geneva and other foreign cities Leonʻs been right there in the thick of all the action. We finally caught up with Leon back home in Hawai`i for an update and we think youʻll be as surprised as we are when you hear how far things have come - Watch It Here

"Law Of The Splintered Paddle - A Visit With Laulani Teale"
There were many laws governing ancient Hawai`i, but none more significant than Kanawai Mamala Hoe, or Law Of The Splintered Paddle, decreed by Kamehameha I. So when peacemaker and activist Laulani Teale recently had a banner commemorating Kanawai Mamala Hoe confiscated by local authorities at a De-Occupy Honolulu encampment, she naturally wanted it back. When attempts to meet with the mayor resulted in her arrest, she only became more determined. Donʻt miss our fascinating visit with Laulani as she reveals what happened to her banner and why Honoluluʻs mayor turned and ran when he saw her coming. - Watch It Here

AKAKA BILL BEDEVILS ON YET ANOTHER LEVEL ON VOICES OF TRUTH – ONE-ON-ONE WITH HAWAI`I’S FUTURE
After failing for eleven years to get the Akaka bill passed in Washington, DC, the push is now on to pass an Akaka bill through the Hawai`i legislature.
Never mind the people of Hawai`i have said overwhelmingly again and again they donʻt want it.
Never mind not one word of this bill addresses the theft of Hawai`i.
And never mind the fake state of Hawai`i has absolutely no constitutional authority whatsoever to create a “native Hawaiian governing entity.”
So who is behind this and what would it do? Watch our report this coming Wednesday on Free Hawai`i TV for some surprising details.
Poka Laenui has travelled the world over for many years as a human rights activist. He recently returned to the UN in Geneva and true to form, grabbed quite a bit of attention about Hawai`i by asking all the wrong questions.
What are we talking about? See for yourself what we mean this week on Hawai`i’s award winning Voices Of Truth – One-On-One With Hawai`i’s Future.
