CURIOUS ABOUT HOW HAWAI`I SUPPOSEDLY BECAME A US STATE ?

The United States acquired Hawai`i through force.

Queen Lili'uokalani, Hawai`i'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 was allegedly transferred to the US on Aug. 12, 1898 during ceremonies at `Iolani Palace in Honolulu, on the island of O`ahu.

Hawai`i allegedly became a US 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 January 17,1893 and August 21, 1959.

Today, the US and itʻs puppet, the fake state of Hawai`i, is attempting to cover over itʻs illegal and immoral acts by offering to make native Hawaiians American Indians and place them on reservations.

Needless to say Hawaiian sovereignty is a hot issue in the islands to this day and likely will be for as long as the United States illegal occupation of Hawai`i continues.

Hawaiian Kingdom Nationals Were Told They Were Adopted - But Instead Found Out They'd Been Kidnapped.

HERE'S WHAT HAWAI`I NATIONALS SAID WHEN THE US OVERTHREW & STOLE THE HAWAIIAN KINGDOM IN 1893

 














"We protest against the movement in favor of doing away with the independence of our country; we protest against the effort to force annexation to the US without consulting the people...."

Hereʻs What We Could Say Today -

"We protest against the movement in favor of doing away with the independence of our country; we protest against the effort to force Kana`iolowalu, the Native Hawaiian roll upon us without consulting the people...."

Sound Familiar Today?

HOW MANY SUPPORTED THE ILLEGAL U.S. ANNEXATION OF HAWAI`I?

Of the 40,000 non Kingdom subjects in Hawai`i at the time of the illegal 1898 overthrow, only 1,928 or so were U.S. nationals as documented by the 1900 census.

They represented less than 3% of the entire population.

The rest of the non U.S. aliens were not supportive of the illegal annexation of Hawai`i by the US.

This means that less than 3% of the population, all U.S. aliens, hijacked the Hawaiian Nation against the wishes of almost everybody else.

SHOULDN'T HAWAIIAN NATIONALS BE GLAD THEY'RE PART OF THE U.S.?

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?"

Hawaiian Kingdom Nationals Were Told They Were Adopted - But Found Out They'd Been Kidnapped.

WILL THE US SUCCEED AT TURNING HAWAIIANS INTO AMERICAN INDIANS?

The Bait & Switch Game -

The Clinton Apology of 1993 was a 'bait-and-switch' gambit to cover up and avoid ever having to fulfill the 120 year-old Cleveland-Lili`uokalani agreement.

Based on the Clinton Apology, tens of millions of dollars and untold resources—human and otherwise—have been expended by the US and its puppet "State of Hawai`i" government agencies (like the Office of Hawaiian Affairs) to offer decoys like the Akaka Bill, Kau Inoa, Kana`iolowalu, and other nefarious schemes to "Indian-ize" Hawaiians. 

The ploy is to lure Hawaiians (with a nice t-shirt) into signing up to form an American/Hawaiian tribal nation. In essence, joining helps the US deny any obligation to restore the Hawaiian Kingdom.

The good news is the bait-and-switch gambit has backfired. 

The monumental failure of Kana`iolowalu shows that Hawaiians are ma`a (familiar) to the tribal nation trick. 

Hawaiians are not buying it, and do not trust those US government agencies, quasi-government organizations and corporations that are trying to lead them down the road to captivity.

The Obama Card -

Since they have not succeeded in getting Hawaiians to walk into the trap, the 'powers that be' are preparing to play the Presidential Executive Order card. That is, to have President Obama "Indian-ize" Hawaiians by simply decreeing (creating out of thin air a la Republic of Hawai`i), a Native-Hawaiian-American-Indian tribe with lots of government enticements (not just t-shirts) to attract the masses.

But opening up the deck to play the Obama Executive Order card, will expose (especially if we scream bloody murder) that there is only one card in that can be played. And that is the 120 year-old Cleveland-Lili`uokalani agreement.

Where Do We Go From Here? - The Answers Tomorrow...

WHAT HAPPENED EXACTLY 120 YEARS AGO YESTERDAY?

Yesterday was the 120th anniversary of the FIRST U.S. confession and apology for aiding and abetting in the seizure of the Hawaiian Kingdom government in 1893. 

That first "apology" (by US President Grover Cleveland) was more accurate and comprehensive than the one given 100 years later (by US President William Clinton), and it came with a binding commitment to restore the Hawaiian Kingdom.

Here's What Went Down -

December 18, 1893 – US President Grover S. Cleveland in an historic address to the US Congress, fully admitted that the US violated international law when its diplomatic representative and military forces interfered in the affairs of a foreign country (the Hawaiian Kingdom) and enabled a handful of insurgents to usurp the lawful government of the Hawaiian Kingdom. 

President Cleveland admitted that the United States' actions constituted an unwarranted, unlawful, unprovoked “act of war” against the Hawaiian Kingdom, a fully recognized, sovereign, neutral, friendly nation.

Cleveland unequivocally stated that the US actions made the US directly responsible for the wrongs committed against the Queen, the government and the people of the Hawaiian Kingdom and therefore, the US should take immediate action to repair the offense by restoring the Queen and lawful government of the Hawaiian Kingdom.

Meanwhile, In Hawai`i -

On that very same day—December 18, 1893—Queen`uokalani, the monarch and sovereign head of state of the Hawaiian Kingdom and H.E. Albert S. Willis, the US Foreign Minister (Ambassador) to Hawai`i, after weeks of negotiations, agreed to the terms of a settlement to repair the violation.

The terms of the agreement were - the US would implement the actions necessary to restore the Queen to govern the Hawaiian Kingdom and the Queen, in turn, would grant amnesty to those individuals who had committed treason and sedition by their unlawful seizure of the Hawaiian Kingdom government. 

It is a binding agreement between two sovereign nations and although the US in the 120 years since, has failed to follow through, it is still incumbent upon the president, as chief executive of the US to execute.

The question is - Will the sitting US President Barack Obama, execute the agreement that was made in 1893?

The rest of the non U.S. aliens were not supportive of the illegal annexation of Hawai`i by the US.

This means that less than 3% of the population, all U.S. aliens, hijacked the Hawaiian Nation against the wishes of almost everybody else.

ILLEGAL US OCCUPATION OF THE HAWAIIAN KINGDOM

An independent neutral nation, the Hawaiian Kingdom, was invaded and overthrown by the US, a foreign state.

Since then the US has unlawfully occupied Hawai`i for 120 years.

In January 1893, John L. Stevens, the US ambassador to Hawai`i conspired with 13 civilian businessmen to seize control of the Hawaiian Islands.

He proceeded to have 164 marines, armed with rifles and canon, disembark from the USS Boston. They camped and set up their canon to direct fire against Queen Lili`uokalani’s Palace.

The US declared Hawaiian nationals US citizens.

Yet, Hawaiian nationals never consented to their nation being ceded to the US, the loss of their Hawaiian nationality, nor to becoming US citizens.

In fact, all treaties between the Nation of Hawai`i and the United States of America including the treaty of Friendship, Commerce, Navigation and Extradition of 1850 have never been lawfully terminated.

The US established the “Committee of Safety,” later the “Provisional Government,” and finally the “Republic of Hawai`i.”

They remained in power only by the presence and threat of the US military.

Thus, right to self-determination was and is to this very day, being violated by the United States by their unlawful occupation of the Hawaiian Kingdom.

The United States still has an occupational government over the Hawaiian Kingdom called the “State of Hawai`i.”

DOES THE HAWAIIAN KINGDOM STILL EXIST?

Yes, despite outward appearances, according to established international standards, the lawful, sovereign entity, the Hawaiian Kingdom, does still exist.

Over the centuries, certain criteria have developed regarding the nature and character of nations, so that once a nation has been lawfully established, it is extremely difficult to extinguish.

There are only two ways a nation can be extinguished - 1) Conquest - involving the military defeat and subjugation of its people, along with the physical seizure of its territory by the victor; or 2) Consent - the un-coerced, free-will choice of its people to surrender and merge their nation’s sovereignty to another.

Even the unconditional surrender of Japan and Germany after World War II, did not extinguish their sovereignty. They became occupied states but still retained their national identity. They were still Japan and Germany and the occupying forces administered and enforced the laws of Japan and Germany respectively.

Even the incorporation of Eastern European states into the Soviet Union after World War II did not extinguish their sovereignty. 

Despite complete domination by the USSR during the “cold war,” when the Soviet Union collapsed in the early 1990ʻs states like Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia, Czechoslovakia reemerged as sovereign and independent countries in continuity.

In the case of Hawai`i, after the illegal seizure and annexation, the status of the Hawaiian people (referring to nationals, not aboriginals) remained inviolate.

Neither a vote or plebiscite was ever conducted to gain the consent of the Hawaiian people to dissolve their country, the Hawaiian Kingdom. At no time did the Hawaiian Kingdom or Hawaiian nationals surrender their sovereignty or consent to a merger with the United States.

On the contrary, there was fiercely vociferous opposition to the initial seizure and both efforts at annexation, as evidenced by the massive petitions and the prodigious protests in the press.

The Hawaiian Kingdom continues to exist. It did not expire. It survives even having been buried alive under the layers of US deception and fraud.

CURIOUS ABOUT HOW HAWAI`I SUPPOSEDLY BECAME A US STATE ?

Today, the US and itʻs puppet, the fake state of Hawai`i, is attempting to cover over itʻs illegal and immoral acts by offering to make native Hawaiians American Indians and place them on reservations.

Needless to say Hawaiian sovereignty is a hot issue in the islands to this day and likely will be for as long as the United States illegal occupation of Hawai`i continues.

LITTLE KNOWN FACTS ABOUT HAWAI`I'S ILLEGAL OVERTHROW

Did you know? -

In 1872 the US Government sent its emissary General John Schofield in civilians clothes to O`ahu to study the coastline, waterways, bays and harbors.

In 1881 Secretary of State James told President Benjamin Harrison that Hawai`i was "of value enough to be taken."

In May 1882 Lorrin Thurston of the secret Annexation Club of Hawai`i met with President Benjamin Harrison requesting assistance with an overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom.

B.F. Tracy, Secretary of the Navy said the president authorized him to say that "if conditions in Hawai`i compel you people to act as you have indicated, and you come to Washington with an annexation proposition, you will find an exceedingly sympathetic administration here."

HAWAIIAN CITIZENS REJECTED ILLEGAL US OCCUPATION 

Over 96% of Hawaiian Citizens rejected the US attempted annexation back in 1897.

They never wanted to become part of the US. Rather, they wanted their monarch reinstated and their country back.

As for the fake state, it's null and void even according to the laws of the US constitution.

To this day statehood and the illegal US occupation is repugnant to Hawaiian Kingdom laws and treaties.

Only US citizens were allowed to vote for statehood or those declared by the US to be citizens, along with the US military.

The US went through the motions of legitimizing what could not be lawful or legal.

Today with Kana`iolowalu, its phony Native Hawaiian Roll registration, the Office Of Hawaiian Affairs admits it is not establishing a nation at all but simply a tribal governing entity.

They are trying to fool native Hawaiians into thinking a nation will be created for them.

Instead they are trying to usurp legitimate Hawaiian Kingdom authority and jurisdiction to negotiate away forever the Hawaiian Kingdom.

OVER A CENTURY LATER - THE ILLEGAL US OCCUPATION OF THE HAWAIIAN KINGDOM

An independent neutral nation, the Hawaiian Kingdom, was invaded and overthrown by the US, a foreign state.

Since then the US has unlawfully occupied Hawai`i for well over a century.

In January 1893, John L. Stevens, the US ambassador to Hawai`i conspired with 13 civilian businessmen to seize control of the Hawaiian Islands.

He proceeded to have 164 marines, armed with rifles and canon, disembark from the USS Boston. They camped and set up their canon to direct fire against Queen Lili`uokalani’s Palace.

The US declared Hawaiian nationals US citizens.

Yet, Hawaiian nationals never consented to their nation being ceded to the US, the loss of their Hawaiian nationality, nor to becoming US citizens.

In fact, all treaties between the Nation of Hawai`i and the United States of America including the treaty of Friendship, Commerce, Navigation and Extradition of 1850 have never been lawfully terminated.

The US established the “Committee of Safety,” later the “Provisional Government,” and finally the “Republic of Hawai`i.”

They remained in power only by the presence and threat of the US military.

Thus, right to self-determination was and is to this very day, being violated by the United States by their unlawful occupation of the Hawaiian Kingdom.

The United States still has an occupational government over the Hawaiian Kingdom called the “State of Hawai`i.”
