I have a strong past experiences that I can draw upon dating back to Kamehameha I and how his Anglo-Saxon friends conquered Windward Oahu at gun point. We are still residing in the exact location, only it's the women that was forced into slavery for the corporations--mine being Lorrin Andrews (courts) and eventually C. Brewer and many others. In the court of law 'women and their native slave children' were similar to Act 54 at fault and criminal by US penal code because of their relationship to their dead husbands those that perished over the Nuuanu Cliffs.
Kamehameha I had a relationship with the George Washington's 'military' through trade agreements with Pacific Business men that worked towards having ‘broken trade agreements' which brings in the gun power! It is with clear intent under the Patriot Act; one can confiscate land by the point of a gun. This is an unbroken scenario that get's played out over and over especially with Native Hawaiians on Hawaiian Homestead Land.
While all Hawaiian activist are assisting the 'federal government in their 'risk' intent, we, those of us on Hawaiian Homestead are facing their firing squads.
I just don't know how to project this notion of ' at gun point' especially when the bullet leaves the barrel and plants itself into our young men as an understanding of actions. Actions that have been played over and over in the Pacific since there was need to 'feed the military' a well-fed army-- a service beginning at the time of Kamehameha I.
My father living at 1845 Maunawili was told to leave his land at the point of the gun. During World War II the U.S. military at gun point turned my father's property into a mess-hall for military personnel. The US military parked their trucks on my grandparent’s graves.
