MAKING HAWAI`IʻS HOMES AFFORDABLE AGAIN ON “VOICES OF TRUTH - ONE-ON-ONE WITH HAWAI`IʻS FUTURE"

“Fixing Hawai`iʻs housing Crisis - A Visit With Peter Savio"

Many decades ago Singaporeʻs leaders arrived on an official visit to discover how Hawai`i had become so successful achieving a high rate of residential home ownership at very affordable prices. These officials were so impressed they took Hawai`iʻs model back home, replicated it and today Singapore is a very prosperous and wealthy nation. Yet today in Hawai`i homes are unaffordable, many Hawaiians and others have moved away and the ones still here are renters who work multiple jobs just to make ends meet. To find out why, we spent the day with real estate developer Peter Savio. Peter lost no time in explaining to us where Hawai`i went wrong and how it can be fixed. He should know because as Hawai`iʻs only affordable housing real estate developer his goal is to put Hawai`iʻs residents into home ownership. Donʻt miss our amazing visit with Peter as he explains how affordable housing can be built for Hawaiians and others, making residents financially independent instead of dependent - Watch It Here

KE AUPUNI UPDATE - OCTOBER 2026

 

 

 

 

 

Stirrings at the UN 

From September 21-30 I was at the 63rd Session of the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva, Switzerland. I’ve been going there three times a year since 2009 as the Foreign Minister for the Hawaiian Kingdom.

The UN Human Rights Council and other key operations of the UN in Geneva are accessible platforms to which we can present our issues to the attention of the UN, something that is difficult to do at the UN in New York.

It is in Geneva that we have made significant progress in sharing our story and gaining traction with the international community and the international press. Over the years, diplomats’ and UN personnel’s response to the Hawaiian Kingdom’s quest to assert our international standing as an independent nation has morphed from, “Good luck!” to “Do you really think the US will let you go?” to “What can we do to help?”

This “What can we do to help?” attitude resulted in numerous meetings in Geneva with key diplomats, UN experts and civil society activists. From those discussions, a number of strategic actions that could help Hawaii have emerged. Several proposals were vetted and have been developed for activation in the next few months. At that point, much of our efforts will pivot to the UN General Assembly in New York.

Thus, from Geneva, I went to New York for the last week of the opening of the 81st.Session of the UN General Assembly. The opening of the GA is always a flurry of activities as most of the leaders of the 193 United Nations member countries converge to deliver their remarks at what is called the High-Level Meeting and General Debate.

The week after that flurry is a good time to meet with the ambassadors from the different countries, as the leaders delegations from their capitals have left, but the permanent diplomatic missions in New York are still excited and invigorated by the aspirational remarks (and marching orders) given by their leaders from home.

The actions and strategies that we developed at the UN in Geneva (and at other international meetings) are geared to assert the continuity of the Hawaiian Kingdom and at the same time, expose the United States’ false claim over the Hawaiian Islands. This recent visit to New York was to set the stage for the two-pronged assertion at the General Assembly. Some Pacific Island nations are preparing to take the lead.

The international community, its agencies and institutions and people, are about to be presented with the irrefutable evidence confirming that the political status of the Hawaiian Kingdom is indeed that of a sovereign nation in continuity.

That evidence is a book titled: The Hawaiian Kingdom and the United Nations Charter a collaborative work by scholar/writer Prof Mehmet Guzel and me. We spent over 10 years formulating the book while working on other projects. In 2017 Mehmet and I co-authored and published a book titled, The Modus Vivendi Situation of West Papua, which got some significant notices in international circles and contributed to our being nominated for the 2017 Nobel Peace Prize. (We lost to an international peace consortium run by friends of mine. So, it was still in the family.)

The book is a legal study and analysis of the situation of Hawaii as it relates to international law, and specifically, to the United Nations Charter. It unequivocally confirms that the sovereignty of the Kingdom of the Hawaiian Islands was never extinguished and that the Kingdom is a sovereign nation in continuity. This fact then places a legal obligation to each of the member-countries of the United Nations. If Hawaii is a sovereign nation in continuity, then according to international law and specifically the UN Charter, each country has a legal obligation to recognize and treat the Hawaiian Kingdom as an equal sovereign country.

This will automatically `trigger de-occupation negotiations with the United States to create a peaceful, orderly transition of the Hawaiian Islands to self-governance as an independent country.

The Hawaiian Kingdom and the United Nations Charter will be available online in downloadable form and in print soon.

Hawaiians Have The Right To Defend & Protect Their `Aina,  Assets & Ancestry? Plus Who Is Telling The Story Of Our Nationʻs Restoration To The World? Then How To Deal With Criticism & What Are Sleeper Cells Of Aloha? And A New Kumu Hinaʻs Mana`o Asks How Do You Contribute To Hawai`i?

The October 2026 “Free Hawaii News” debuting tonight, Friday, October 2nd airs at 7 PM on `Olelo Television Channel 53 on O`ahu, on all neighbor islands and also at FreeHawaiiNews.com

“The threat of deep sea mining is spreading throughout Oceania. The Trump administration will soon put up for sale areas of our moana, or ocean near American Samoa to companies who will harvest nodules containing rare earth minerals from the ocean floor. We interview activists in both American Samoa and Hawaii about this double threat and the immediate and long-lasting harm,” remarks Free Hawaii News co-host Hinaleimoana Wong.

“Then in our Pacific Way segment we examine if Hawaiians have the right to defend and protect our `aina or land, our assets and our ancestry. Deep sea mining will surely impact all three of these and once again itʻs up to us as well as others who feel the same way to stand up for our island home and way of life,” states Free Hawaii News co-host Leon Siu. “Our ocean is not yours to come and give away.”

Also on the October Free Hawaii News, we interview Hawaiian elite athlete and master martial artist Dr. Kumu Michelle Manu, PhD about how Hawaiians in the diaspora can deal with criticism from others and at the same time ways to become sleeper cells of aloha.

KE AUPUNI UPDATE - SEPTEMBER 2026

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Importance of Voting 

As the Foreign Minister for the Hawaiian Kingdom, I spend a lot of time pondering the hot topics in the international community to see how they pertain to us and our future as a nation. I’m in Switzerland right now and am reminded of how various waves of immigration has changed the social and political make-up of the host countries.

People often forget how much of an impact immigration had in the Hawaiian Kingdom particularly in the subsequent iterations of US puppet governments in Hawaii. As America gears up for their election in November, and the issue of who should be allowed to vote is bandied about, we are reminded of the serious voter manipulation that happened in Hawaii leading up to the overthrow and in every election afterwards.

The Bayonet Constitution was the first salvo in the eventual take-over. What did that constitution do? It took away decision making from the Moʻi, the Monarch (King Kalākaua and then Queen Liliʻuokalani) reducing the position to that of a figurehead instead of a decisive leader. And it disqualified the majority of Hawaiians and all Asians who were subjects (citizens) of the Hawaiian Kingdom from voting.

Then, when the fake Republic of Hawaii came into play in 1894, it adopted highly restrictive voter laws. The number of people legally permitted or registered to vote in Hawaii during this period (1894-1900) was restricted to just about 2,700 people! That’s when Hawaii had a population of more than 102,000 people with roughly 65,000 of voting age.

After the fake annexation of 1898 and the creation of the Territorial government in 1900, voting rights were opened up and Hawaiian patriots like James Kaulia, Robert Wilcox, Prince Kuhio and others formed political parties and tried to use the system to restore the nation and secure the rights of the Hawaiian people. But the Governor of the Territory was appointed by the US President and any legislation that got passed by patriots to assert Hawaiian self-determination got vetoed by the governor.

Heavy indoctrination techniques were used in Hawaii’s schools to promote American identity as the ideal. Expressions of sovereignty were thwarted at every turn and patriotism according to design, began to shift. So as time passed, the US coaxed and coerced the people of Hawaii to forget their days as a sovereign nation and to willingly accept US citizenship and get with the program of being patriotic Americans.

Then came World War I, then World War II, then the Korean War and the Cold War. Brave Hawaiians rose to the call to defend their country, the USA. American Patriotism was at an all-time high.

Then came the 1959 Statehood Vote. That was the chance to be inexorably tied into the US. It was a United Nations mandated decolonization referendum, only the US conveniently forgot to mention that to the voters. In order to ensure the vote would be decisively in favor of statehood, the US fixed the election. They put only one choice on the ballot, “for statehood”, so it could have only one possible outcome: “for statehood”. But then, to really make sure, they added a second cheat: only US Citizens could vote! Not Hawaiian nationals, or Hawaiian subjects, or Hawaiian “citizens”. So technically and legally, the wrong people voted! Or at least the people who voted did so under the wrong nationality.

When Haunani Kay Trask loudly declared at the Onipa’a Rally on January 17 1993, “We are not Americans! We are not Americans! We are not Americans! We are Hawaiians and we will die Hawaiians! We are not Americans!” It shocked most of us, even those involved in the budding “sovereignty movement.” We had never heard it put so bluntly.

But it has everything to do with how we can win back our nation. We Hawaiians never gave our consent to become a state of the United States because we did not participate in the plebiscite. Only Americans did. Yes, many were Hawaiian-Americans, but they were counted as Americans, US citizens. Foreigners cannot vote in an election to determine the fate of a nation. Only the nationals of that country can. This is the issue we are raising at the United Nations, because this was a perversion of a UN process, that occurred under the UN’s watch. The good news is that we are about to hold the UN accountable for its error, which would automatically Free Hawaii.
