The President
Executive Order 13515 of October 14, 2009
Increasing Participation of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in Federal Programs
By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the
laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered as follows:
Section 1. Policy. The more than 16 million Asian Americans and Pacific
Islanders (AAPIs) across our country have helped build a strong and vibrant
America. The AAPI communities represent many ethnicities and languages
that span generations, and their shared achievements are an important part
of the American experience. They have started businesses and generated
jobs, including founding some of our Nation’s most successful and innovative
enterprises. The AAPI communities have made important contributions to
science and technology, culture and the arts, and the professions, including
business, law, medicine, education, and politics.
While we acknowledge the many contributions of the AAPI communities
to our Nation, we also recognize the challenges still faced by many AAPIs.
Of the more than a million AAPI-owned businesses, many firms are small
sole-proprietorships that continue to need assistance to access available resources such as business development counseling and small business loans.
The AAPI community also continues to face barriers to employment and
workplace advancement. Specific challenges experienced by AAPI subgroups
include lower college-enrollment rates by Pacific Islanders than other ethnic
groups and high poverty rates among Hmong Americans, Cambodian Americans, Malaysian Americans, and other individual AAPI communities. Additionally, one in five non-elderly AAPIs lacks health insurance.
The purpose of this order is to establish a President’s Advisory Commission
on Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders and a White House Initiative
on Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders. Each will work to improve the
quality of life and opportunities for Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders
through increased access to, and participation in, Federal programs in which
they may be underserved. In addition, each will work to advance relevant
evidence-based research, data collection, and analysis for AAPI populations
and subpopulations.
Sec. 2. President’s Advisory Commission on Asian Americans and Pacific
Islanders. There is established in the Department of Education the President’s
Advisory Commission on Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (Commission).
(a) Mission and Function of the Commission. The Commission shall provide
advice to the President, through the Secretaries of Education and Commerce,
as Co-Chairs of the Initiative described in section 3 of this order, on: (i)
the development, monitoring, and coordination of executive branch efforts
to improve the quality of life of AAPIs through increased participation
in Federal programs in which such persons may be underserved; (ii) the
compilation of research and data related to AAPI populations and subpopulations; (iii) the development, monitoring, and coordination of Federal efforts
to improve the economic and community development of AAPI businesses;
and (iv) strategies to increase public and private-sector collaboration, and
community involvement in improving the health, education, environment,
and well-being of AAPIs.

THE WHITE HOUSE,

*******************************************

vs.  The Hawaiian Kingdom Nationals and Alii Families and for the Kanaka Maoli

Hawaiian Sovereignty, a look at the treaties that Hawaii held

Among the evidence introduced in a argument for Hawaiian Sovereignty, one of the first things you would hear would be about the treaties that the Hawaiian Kingdom held at the time the United States overthrew the Queen.

Besides numerous treaties with the U.S.(1826, 1842, 1849, 1875, and 1887) Hawaii held treaties with nineteen other countries.

Not only did these treaties recognize Hawaii as a sovereign and independent nation among the world community of nations, but these treaties also stated intentions to be peaceful and amicable in interactions with each other.

Other countries that The Kingdom of Hawaii held treaties with are

Belgium (1862), Bremen (1854), Denmark (1846), France (1839, 1846, and 1858), German Empire (1879-80), Great Britain (1836 and 1846), Hamburg (1848), Hong Kong (1884), Italy (1863), Japan (1871 and 1886), Netherlands (1862), New South Wales (1874), Portugal (1882), Russia (1869), Samoa (1887), Spain (1863), Swiss Confederation (1864), Sweden and Norway (1855), and Tahiti (1853). 

As anyone can see the Kingdom of Hawaii was recognized around the world as its own Sovereign Nation.

The Argument for Hawaiian Sovereignty holds that this has never changed and that furthermore the United States of America broke its treaty, and violated its own constitution by doing so, and is illegally occupying The Hawaiian Kingdom. 

For specifics on the treaties that The Hawaiian Kingdom held with the U.S. and other countries, follow this link  

Why the Overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom By the U.S. was Unconstitutional

Having made numerous treaties with the Hawaiian Kingdom guaranteeing that there would be no aggressive acts, the U.S. was in violation of said treaties. Why this is Unconstitutional is a little but not much more involved.

The U.S. Constitution is made up of a preamble, seven articles, and amendments to those articles. The articles are the building blocks of the whole U.S. government.

The Article that we need to look at is Article VI.

U.S. Constitution Article. VI.

All Debts contracted and Engagements entered into, before the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be as valid against the United States under this Constitution, as under the Confederation.

This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.

The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.

The second paragraph is the one we must examine, where it states that all treaties made under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land. There is no doubt in my mind that this should apply to the treaties held by the Hawaiian Kingdom.

Which, again in my mind, makes the Overthrow of Queen Lili`uokalani in 1893 not only a act of war, but unconstitutional.

  Hawaiian Kingdom and U.S./United States/

 

                                                                      United States of  America

                                                                    1849 "Perpetual" Treaty, etc. 

                                                                                     

                                                                                          Summary

                                                                                                     by Amelia Gora (2012)

The Hawaiian Kingdom and the U.S./United States/United States of America's Perpetual Friendship Treaty, etc.  continues, remains in effect, signed, approved by the parties involved which made up of the President, Secretary of State, approved by the Senate, House of Representatives or Congress and the Sovereign/Kauikeouli - Kamehameha III, His heirs and successors (of the blood/koko) through his Representative because the Hawaiian Kingdom is made up of three branches:  1) Sovereign - heirs and successors (one of the two Permanent branches); 2) House of Nobles - heirs and successors (second of the two Permanent branches) -descendants/heirs who were connected through genealogies with the Sovereign; and the voted in part 3) House of Representatives - this was a temporary group which conspired, were treasonous and moved to begin the Provisional Government, turned Republic of Hawaii, then annexed by the U.S., turned Territory of Hawaii, and State of Hawaii with documented Oppositions from the Sovereign, Queen Liliuokalani and her subjects of the Hawaiian Kingdom who formed a new House of Representatives.

The Treaty of 1849 locks in the U.S. Constitution which involves only the 30 States who existed at that time.

Today, the U.S. Constitution along with the Treaty of 1849 remains a Perpetual setup securing the majority of the States, 30 States, called the United States/U.S./U.S.A./United States of America remains in effect.

The 30 States locked into the Treaty, and the U.S. Constitution:

 The other additional/added 20 new States (including the Republic of Hawaii) were not part of the Treaty.  Depending on what was written in their Constitution when their State was formed, they may or may not be included in the perpetual agreement.  

In the case of the Hawaiian Kingdom and the Republic of Hawaii, both have different authorities, and one is a Nation vs. the other a set up, premeditated State supported by the U.S., England, Morgan bankers (includes Bank of England) based on the 1822 Secret Treaty of Verona pact, 1918 Congressional discussion with the States - 30 with the Perpetual Treaty and the newly added 18 States which remained a minority of States.

The Republic of Hawaii turned Territory of Hawaii then State of Hawaii with Oppositions every step of the way became the 50 th State by Presidential Executive Order behind of the 49th State of Alaska, both bodies of land being disconnected/disjointed/non-contiguous from the U.S. Nation and cannot normally be called United States/U.S./United States of America based on the failure to be identified as a contiguous land mass associated with States being United, a Nation recognized under the Law of Nations.

The added 18 States from 1850 through 1912 became the "Newstates" added to the U.S. Constitution.  The 18 States were:  

California	Sept. 9, 1850 31 st	Ceded by Mexico by the Treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo, concluded Feb. 2, 1848, and proclaimed July 4, 1848. From then until statehood, California had a military government until Dec. 20, 1849, and then a local civil government. It never had a territorial form of government.

States Under Duress, Stress, Coercion, Usurpation

Due to the Financial duress that all 50 States bear for Wars, Plundering Upon Innocents, with the goals of One World Order through the 1822 Secret Treaty of Verona,  an additional Constitution approved in 1980 by all 50 States Senators and House of Representatives, this Second Constitution is called the “Constitution For the Newstates Of The United States.”

see:  http://myweb.ecomplanet.com/GORA8037 and see Legal Research by John Nelson

 

Nevertheless, Kenyan born Obama puts out the "tradition based" Executive Orders from Washington, D.C., an area that is not even part of the United States and upholds the Financial "Constitution For the Newstates Of The United States" while the 1849 Perpetual Treaty with the Hawaiian Kingdom and the U.S. Constitution exists with the majority of the States remains in place to this day.

 

The Hawaiian Kingdom exists today because the Sovereigns heirs, descendants of Successors, House of Nobles descendants, heirs of the Permanent branches exists today, which also means that the Crown Lands are owned by the Sovereign, House of Nobles, Heirs/descendants/ Successors whose ancestor Kamehameha did form the Hawaiian Kingdom, and these lands are not the "ceded lands", etc.  

 

Additionally, the alodio/ano alodio system remains, which means all kanaka maoli have the true titles to the lands, etc.
