He then contends that the meetings held with the Native Hawaiian community were open to the public and a number of individuals who had differing views attended the meetings and provided their alternative views on the legislation. He suggests that these meetings were announced and accessible to all "Native Hawaiians". In truth, the opposition was greatly voice in 2000.
He further claims there has been a clear record of discussion and debate to refine and strengthen the Native Hawaiian Government Reorganization Act since its introduction in 2000. I don't recall the title being that from the onset but renamed after its fiasco in 2000 with many amendments preceding the renaming of this bill.
Instead of addressing our position against the bill, he decided on how to circumvent it with manipulations using feel-good semantics along with self-contradictory statements to diffuse the arguments and dupe the people into something that was more of a myth to conform to the U.S. agenda.
Akaka claims to date there have been a total of 12 Congressional hearings, including 5 joint House and Senate Committee hearings Held in Hawaii in 2000. He purposely fails to mention that because of his illness at that time, the hearings on the neighbor islands were canceled and a five-day hearing was limited to the Island of O'ahu. This made it impossible for most neighbor island people to attend and give testimony. Those that did attend, did so at great expense (airfare, hotel, transportation, and meals).
An overwhelming majority of the native Hawaiians opposed the bill during that 5-day hearings and refused to be considered as a tribal people. This the senators insisted that was not the case; thus the renaming of the bill and a play on semantics to obfuscate the intention of exercising the WASP racist doctrines of Manifest Destiny.
Akaka further states that this bill provides a process for the reorganization of the Native Hawaiian governing entity (whatever that means) for the purposes of a federally recognized government to government relationship. Whatever happened to the government to government relationship with the Hawaiian Kingdom which still exists albeit under the U.S. belligerent occupation?
The bill authorizes an office in the Department of the Interior instead of the Department of the State to serve as a liaison between native Hawaiians and the United States and forms an interagency task force composed of officials from federal agencies who currently administer programs and services impacting native Hawaiians to establish the parameters the Native Hawaiians can work within for self-determination.
The opening paragraph of the bill tip-toes through the maze of arguments by side-stepping the issues and facts mentioning the reconciliation of the wrong committed by the United States against the Native Hawaiians. At the same time it minimizes the U.S. criminal involvement by stating that it was done by participation of agents of the United States.
Let's look at who the agents were:
President Benjamin Harrison who approved the actions and bent on annexing Hawai'i to the U.S. as previous U.S. presidents had been attempting to consummate.
Collusion of the U.S. Secretary of State, James L. Blaine, with the pro-annexationist U.S. minister John L. Stevens and accomplice Lorrin Thurston (U.S. citizen born and residing in the Kingdom of Hawai'i who swore allegiance to the Kingdom's government, being commissioned by the King to serve in his government).
The landing of U.S. military troops to protect the treasonous conspirators to create the U.S. puppet Provisional Government which later they renamed itself the republic of Hawaii. Interesting enough is that the treasonous Committee of Safety had silver coins melted down to have a silver tea set made to present to U.S. Minister Stevens for his part in the takeover and protecting them while they were doing it and after setting up their ipso facto government.
U.S spy General Schofield who surveyed the islands for the ideal military outposts and others who committed covert and overt actions against the Hawaiian Kingdom.
The push for takeover and destabilizing the Kingdom's government executed by U.S. American agents, other U.S. citizens of political, economical, and military clout.
The immigration of U.S. citizens into the Hawaiian Kingdom to support the takeover in a U.S. national movement.
This bill, then, creates a redefinition of native Hawaiians to fit an after-the-fact scenario as Native Americans proscription to fit within their Native American Policy. It also ignores the Hawaiian Subjects that are not Native Hawaiian and invalidates their existence. The imposition of blood quantum furthers the alienation of the subjects of the Hawaiian Kingdom; the bona fide citizens and nationals of our Kingdom.
This bill makes you jump through the U.S. hoops to prove who you are; while it gives proxy to an unlawful entity to usurp the sovereign jurisdiction and recognized status of an international nation-state. Compliance to this bill means to surrender one's citizenship of the Hawaiian Kingdom and to validate the U.S. citizenship.
It also prohibits one from suing the U.S. military for accountability. U.S. Congress will possess and exercise, under the plenary authority of the Constitution to legislate on behalf of the indigenous people including native Hawaiians; including but not limited to Property, Treaty, Supremacy clauses, War powers, 14th Amendment, which it relies on those powers in enacting this legislation.
This means Congress has the power to recognize the Native Hawaiian tribe and to un-recognize the Hawaiian tribe at its whim. It's interesting to note the repetition of providing notice to and consult with and negotiate with this entity regarding the resources, rights, and lands.
In the end, this bill promotes the U.S. WASP racist Manifest Destiny Doctrines that professes they are ordained by God (Divine Providence) to rule over non-whites as a superior race that can do anything they want to do.
What Akaka has stated will not change with the proponents of the bill who will continue to parrot his same rhetoric. The idea of this bill being better than nothing and the U.S. won't give up Hawai'i is fatuous and being a defeatist. They are being disingenuous in defending it as U.S. Americans rather than Hawaiian nationals looking for justice and freedom from the suppressor.
There should be a debate or symposium to address the legitimacy of the proposed bill and the proper process of addressing the U.S. belligerent occupation of the Hawaiian Kingdom. Read the bill; I did. Let's have another public debate since there have been many amendments to kowtow to the wishes of U.S. government except for the Hawaii Nationals, subjects/citizens of the Hawaiian Kingdom that exist today. What are they afraid of?

Dear_______:
As you know, Senators Akaka and Inouye recently reached an agreement with Governor Lingle regarding changes to the bill that will secure the Governor’s support. Attached is the complete substitute amendment that the Senator will offer when the bill comes to the Senate floor. It includes three changes to Section 9 to clarify the powers and authorities of the Native Hawaiian governing entity during the interim period (1. Section 9(c)(3)(H)(iii) – Page 52; 2. Section 9(c)(3)(I) – Pages 52-53; and 3. 9(c)(3)(P) – Page 55). Section 11 (page 59) will also be added to ensure the bill will not have an impact on federally recognized Indian tribes outside the State of Hawaii.
The Governor supports the bill with these changes. The Senators also have the committed support from the White House and both native and non-native groups in Hawaii and across the country.
We will be updating Senator Akaka’s website soon to provide an update on the bill status as well as provide a copy of this amendment. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
Mahalo,

A debate/symposium is a panel split in two with opposite positions for discussing the topic and presenting arguments to embolden their position on the topic. There would be a question and answering period after the debate.
Basically, that's the difference between a hearing and a debate.
With the facts, I'm sure we would win the debate. The fact that we were banned from testimony in Washington, D.C. proves that they cannot win against the truth or our wishes. They can't even produce a treaty of annexation to validate their presence in Hawai'i. Once the general public witness this, their attitudes will begin to change.
Can someone post the most recent Akaka Bill with amendments. Yes the three points needs to be debated! Much aloha
What is there to Debate on the AKaKa BILL? If any thing that Congress should do with the AKaKa BILL is have another Public Hearing. Which I'm sure that they will never do.
But if you feel that there still should have a Debate on the AKaKa BILL, maybe native Hawaiians of the Hawaiian Homes Commission who supports the AKaKa BILL should hold a Debate on the AKaKa BILL.
Let all the Traitors come out of their Closets and Get Real.

The AKaKa BILL is HEWA. They are afraid of the Truth that will FREE HAWAII. United States like all Empires of the past is falling. Getting caught up in a Winless War.
Native Hawaiians who support the AKaKa BILL and the American Forced Blood Quantum needs to be PONO. Stop the Stealing from their own people. Stealing in any form in any culture is HEWA.
