4TH OF JULY THEFT OF HAWAI`I'S INDEPENDENCE
By Poka Laenui
With Bible on hand, pistols in their pockets and troops at the ready, men gathered on the steps of `Iolani Palace on July 4th, 1894. Invoking the name of American liberty, they dismantled the liberty of the people of the Hawaiian nation.
Two separate camps divided Hawai`i's political environment. One, a small minority, held the power of government through the landing of the US military. The second, Hawaiian loyalists, supported their Hawaiian Queen Lili`uokalani.
The first camp wanted annexation of Hawai`i to the US, part of a larger plan to open their sugar to US markets. They sided with American expansionists like John Stevens, US Minister to Hawai`i.
The Hawaiian citizens, according to US special investigator James Blount, were almost to the man, in opposition to annexation.
US troops landed on January 16, 1893, and supported a self-proclaimed “provisional government” the next day.
A hurriedly drafted annexation treaty was sent to the US Senate in February for ratification under Harrison’s administration.
But Grover Cleveland, inaugurated President in March, sent Blount to investigate this Hawaiian affair. Given Blount’s report, Cleveland railed against US conspiracy and withdrew the treaty in December.
Sanford Dole, President of the "provisional" government, was criticized for the PG’s lack of legitimacy. He assembled a convention of 37 delegates, 19 appointed by him, the remainder elected by those who disavowed loyalty to Lili`uokalani and swore allegiance to the provisional government.
Using as their backdrop, the US Independence day celebration, Dole’s group assembled at `Iolani Palace at 8:00 AM, July 4, 1894.
With guns tucked out of public sight, William O. Smith, one of the early conspirators of the group acted as master of ceremony.
Dispensing with the opening prayer, apparently skittish over the proceedings taking place, Smith introduced Dole. Dole, looking down upon their members, proclaimed “the Republic of Hawai`i as the sovereign authority over and throughout the Hawaiian Islands.”
He went on, “And I declare the Constitution framed and adopted by the Constitutional Convention of 1894 to be the constitution and the supreme law of the Republic of Hawai`i, and by virtue of this constitution I now assume the office and authority of president thereof.”
The constitution declared all Lili`uokalani’s government’s lands, waters and citizens as those of the Republic.
While framing their activities around the American principle that the right of governance can be only achieved thru the consent of the governed, the Republic of Hawai`i was declared in just the opposite manner.
No ratification or any consent was given the Republic by Hawaiians.
Hawaiian nationals never consented to any change.
A reading will take place tomorrow at 5 PM at `Iolani Palace and discussion of the events leading up to the proclaiming into existence of the Republic of Hawai`i on July 4, 1894. This event is free and open to the public.

TROJAN HORSE LOOSE ON VOICES OF TRUTH - ONE-ON-ONE WITH HAWAI`I'S FUTURE
There’s a Trojan horse loose in Hawai`i, and more people need to notice.
The Office Of Hawaiian Affairs is currently holding Community Consultation Network (CCN) meetings throughout the islands and in US cities where Hawaiians live.
OHA will tell you their CCN events are designed to get input from the various Hawaiian communities wherever they are. They claim they’re interested in hearing what you have to say.
But the real reason for CCN however is something entirely different.
In reality it’s another OHA Trojan horse with a hidden agenda buried deep inside. Want to know what they're really up to? Find out this coming Wednesday on Free Hawai`i TV.
We bring you a brand new Voices Of Truth show this week featuring Hiko Hanapi who tells us about an exciting fine arts program from Hawai`i Island. Don’t miss our fascinating visit to discover what some of Hawai`i’s finest master artists are creating, where it came from, and who it’s for on Voices Of Truth – One-On-One With Hawai`i's Future.
MONDAY, August 31st At 6:30 PM – Maui – Akaku, Channel 53
“Ho`ea - A Long Sought Vision – A Visit With Hiko Hanapi”

Filmed at the Hawai`i Prep Academy in Waimea, you’ll soon see why this native fine arts school is uniquely like no other – Watch It Here.
MONDAY, August 31st At 7:00 PM & FRIDAY, September 4th At 5:30 PM – Hawai`i Island – Na Leo, Channel 53
THURSDAY, September 3rd At 8:30 PM & FRIDAY, September 4th At 8:30 AM - Kaua`i – Ho`ike, Channel 52

“Cultural Revolutions – A Visit With Ramsay Taum”
The past still exists right beside the present for Ramsay Taum. A noted cultural and sustainability expert, he knows the value of our kupuna and the cost if these elders pass without gaining their knowledge and insights. Yet he shows us how the past is always with us including those who have gone before. As you’ll find out, it’s much more than a “revolutionary” way of thinking - Watch It Here.
Voices Of Truth interviews those creating a better future for Hawai`i to discover what made them go from armchair observers to active participants. We hope you'll be inspired to do the same.
