Kingdom of Hawaii/Hawaiian Kingdom Royal Tidings No. 2015 - 404 Important Read Regarding Cardoza's court case....info off of Facebook.... Important post...
:::: THE "ACTING GOVERNMENT" SPEAKS (and silences) ::::
The following image is a rather threatening post made by Dr. Keanu Sai in response to my criticism of his false claims.
In Sai's blog article titled, "State of Hawai'i Judge Rules Hawaiian Kingdom Still Exists," Sai asserts that a Maui Circuit Court judge ruled - as the title suggests - that the Hawaiian Kingdom still exists.
Judge Cardoza, the Maui Circuit Court judge at issue, made no such ruling.
In his blog, Sai expresses that because Judge Cardoza took judicial notice of Sai's testimony (on the continuity of the Hawaiian Kingdom), he was actually ruling that the Hawaiian Kingdom still exists. This is not true.
Judicial notice is not a ruling and no such ruling on State continuity can be made because determining whether the Hawaiian Kingdom still exists is a political question and beyond the capacity of a court to determine.
So, I took my comments to Sai's blog in an attempt to clarify the situation and dispel more false claims coming from the self-proclaimed "Acting Government of the Hawaiian Kingdom."
After some time, Sai finally graced the comments with his presence and this message:
-----------------
"In response to Zuri Aki’s inflammatory and malicious postings on this blog accusing me of lying is not only untrue, but is clear evidence of criminal acts of libel. According to Black’s Law Dictionary, libel is defined as “A method of defamation expressed by print, writing, pictures or signs. A false and unprivileged publication,” which attempts “to blacken a person’s reputation.” Under Hawaiian Kingdom law, libel is a crime, but under U.S. law it’s civil tort.
Mr. Aki is a naïve student whose irresponsible diatribe has just implicated three or more professors at the law school in this criminal act. These three professors are David Cohen, Diane Desierto, and Carole J. Peterson. This is not only a criminal matter, but also a university matter because I am also a faculty member of the University of Hawai‘i Windward Community College. On January 30, 2015, I wrote a formal complaint to the Dean of the Law School, but he chose not to hold these three professors and Mr. Aki accountable. This failure to do so is what led to the ultimate commission of the crime of libel. I will be initiating proceedings in a timely fashion and before the proper authorities."
-----------------
Rather than respond to my analysis of the court proceedings in question - rather than prove his own claims to be true, Sai just decided to ignore what I was saying, pass it off as a lie, and threaten me instead.
Sai also IP-banned me from being able to post comments on his blog articles (a so-called Hawaiian government banning a Hawaiian national?) - so I couldn't respond.
While seemingly threatening, its just a lot of huffing and puffing. Sai's attempts to bully me probably would work if I didn't know anything about law - and it just goes to show how little he, himself, knows of it. Tossing out a libel charge might work to scare off other people, but not this "naïve student."
And, a libel charge? C'mon now. Sai lies about a court ruling, I call him out on that lie, and he wants to criminally prosecute me for "lying" that he lied? In what court? The US courts that he claims has no jurisdiction here? As you can see, hilarity and much hypocrisy may ensue.
Sai has my email and my phone number. Instead of contacting me, he writes a "formal complaint" to the dean, behind my back, "to hold [me] accountable."
The self-proclaimed regent of the Hawaiian Kingdom went to the dean of William S. Richardson School of Law to get me in trouble? I don't know whether to just keep shaking my head or laugh this one off. I suppose what I've said is really starting to hit his royal nerves.

I think he would be committing political/scholarly suicide if he engaged in something so hypocritical.
Furthermore, I'm a year away from graduating with my JD. I have a much better grasp of law than Sai (a political scientist not a lawyer). His threat of libel is a baseless threat and an attempt to bully me. It's not going to work on me because I know what libel is - and I'm not engaging in libelous activity.
I know for a fact that the dean of William S. Richardson School of Law would not condone a student perpetrating a criminal/tortious act. If my actions were criminal/tortious and if Sai really did complain about me to the dean of the law school, then the dean would surely have taken action.
Again, Sai is trying to bully me and in the process, he is showing everyone that other side of himself.
There's no fire here, just a self-proclaimed regent who can't take criticism from a law school student with valid concerns.
You need to ask yourself why he would lie in the first place? Why not just tell the truth - that the Judge didn't rule the Hawaiian Kingdom still existed? Like I mentioned earlier, either he had no clue what was going on in court (if so, then he shouldn't have written a blog about it in the first place) or he is intentionally trying to mislead the masses out there. If it's intentional, then what's the motive? Hyping himself up? A marketing ploy to increase the number of his clients?
Based on what Sai wrote, he made a "formal complaint" about me back in January. For what? What did I do back in January that got him so riled up that he had to make a formal complaint to the dean of the law school to have me held accountable?
You don't see me going to the state ethics commission and complaining about his questionable practices. So, who's the crab in the bucket? I went to him to engage in some discourse - he didn't come to me back in January before he went complaining to the "proper authorities."
Furthermore, what haole are you talking about? I don't see any haole in here trying to prevent Hawaiians from independence.
It's easy to just call someone a crab in a bucket when what they're saying conflicts so heavily with what you believe - cognitive dissonance. But, I'll keep saying it because it needs to be heard. We aren't going to address the right solution to our plight so long as we're being misled.
You know how a belligerent occupation ends? Either you drive the occupier out or the occupier willingly leaves.
Has Sai ever said it so simply? Because that's what it comes down to.
Now, either he has a plan to drive the occupier out - which is typically through force - or he has a plan to convince the US to willingly leave. I honestly don't see either of those scenarios happening anytime soon.
There's no getting the international courts to force the US out - that's not how they work. There's no getting the ICC to arrest people suspected of war crimes in the Hawaiian Islands - that's not how it works.
There are two ways to end a belligerent occupation. Ask Sai which of the two ways he's trying to go and I wish you guys good luck.
That's our power. We only need ourselves to know who we are - we don't need an international court, United Nations, or United States approval.
Statehood is a matter of fact - it's not a matter of law - and that's why no court can determine whether or not a State still exists. The Hawaiian State continues to exist so long as there are Hawaiians who believe that it does.
One of our biggest problems is that we sometimes believe we need the US to comply with us in order for us to be independent - but take a look at the word, "independent." You don't become independent by relying on someone else's approval for your existence.
If Hawaiians truly want to be independent, then we just gotta do we gotta do without permission from anyone else.
It gets hard because we have to keep our families fed/sheltered/clothed and doing what we gotta do without US permission may still get US law enforcement to cause us problems.
That's why I say the power is in all of us. If we remain as divided groups, then we can easily be picked off. But if we're one united nation, then there's no way the US can enforce its laws against us. We would be independent and because we're independent, other States will recognize us as such - but they can't recognize our independence unless we're actually independent. Right now, we appear pretty dependent on the US.
I don't know if the US will ever end its occupation. Maybe the US will have a compassionate and just President/Congress, but I don't know when that'll be. It doesn't seem like it'll be in the best interest of the US to withdraw from one of its most strategic (militarily/economically) locations on Earth.
The best solution I have for our plight, is to unite Hawaiians and just function as independent States do - no need permission from anyone but Hawaiians.
