Debunking the Latest Hawaiian Sovereignty Scam

BY KENNETH R. CONKLIN, PH.D. -- The Hawaiian sovereignty history twisters are doing it again. Keanu Sai, a convicted felon known for his "Perfect Title" and "World Court" scams, is now pushing his third one. Three strikes and you're out? Time will tell.

The "Executive Agreements" scam begins with an assertion about what happened in 1893 between Hawaii ex-queen Liliuokalani and the new U.S. President Grover Cleveland. According to his 2008 Ph.D. dissertation and newly published book, David Keanu Sai says there were two executive agreements between those heads of state.

(1) The "Liliuokalani Assignment" consists of her letter of January 17, 1893 protesting the overthrow of the monarchy. In that letter she says she is surrendering temporarily to the U.S. until such time as the U.S. reverses the revolution and restores her to the throne. Sai claims this created an executive agreement whereby the U.S. promised to govern Hawaii in accord with Hawaiian Kingdom law during the temporary period until Liliuokalani was back in power.

But there are many difficulties with this theory. Liliuokalani's protest -- her "assignment" of authority to the U.S. -- was delivered to the office of the revolutionary Provisional Government President Sanford B. Dole, not to the office of U.S. Minister Plenipotentiary John L. Stevens. It's not clear how long it took before the U.S. found out that it had supposedly entered into an agreement with the ex-queen -- indeed, the U.S. never accepted this "assignment." There was no executive agreement.

Everyone knew that Grover Cleveland had been elected President on November 8, 1892, but would not take office until March (as was normal back then). Cleveland was the ex-queen's personal friend. So Liliuokalani was engaging in a crass political ploy of claiming to surrender to a faraway friend who was likely to help her, instead of surrendering to the closeup enemy who had actually defeated her and would never undo the revolution. Also, after January 17 Liliuokalani no longer had any executive authority because the revolution had ousted her. And Cleveland did not become President until 6 weeks later. So even if the two of them had made an agreement, it was not an agreement by two heads of state which would carry the force of a treaty and would impose upon their successors an obligation to carry it out.

(2) The "Agreement of Restoration" is Keanu Sai's assertion that in November and December of 1893 U.S. Minister Plenipotentiary Albert Willis, acting on orders from President Cleveland through Secretary of State Gresham, promised Liliuokalani to restore her to the throne if she would promise to grant amnesty to the revolutionaries. After Liliuokalani twice refused to grant amnesty and insisted she would behead the revolutionaries, she finally wrote a letter agreeing to grant amnesty. Sai says this consummated an executive agreement obligating the U.S. to put Liliuokalani back on the throne, and the obligation is binding on all subsequent Presidents. Although Liliuokalani is long dead, Barack Obama must restore sovereign authority to the Kingdom of Hawaii as an independent nation, because of the "agreement" President Cleveland made to restore the ex-queen.

But of course Liliuokalani had no executive authority after January 17, so it was not possible for any agreement she made 10 or 11 months later to be regarded as tantamount to a treaty. In any case, no U.S. official ever promised to put Liliuokalani back on the throne. The U.S. did not own Hawaii, and had no right or authority to do such a thing. The Provisional government and President Dole were not a U.S. puppet regime, and there were zero U.S. peacekeepers remaining in Hawaii after April 1. The only promise made to Liliuokalani by U.S. officials was to serve as a mediator between Liliuokalani and Dole, and to ask Dole to step down, if Liliuokalani would guarantee to grant amnesty. When Liliuokalani finally did agree to amnesty, U.S. Minister Willis sent President Dole a strongly worded letter essentially ordering him to step down (that was the first time Dole had heard of this preposterous idea); but Dole replied on December 23 with an even more strongly worded letter refusing. There was never an executive agreement whereby the U.S. promised to restore the Queen. The U.S. could not make such a promise, any more than Ken Conklin could promise to give Haleiwa Bridge to a taxi driver who might take him there.

Keanu Sai's "Executive Agreements" scam is a continuation of his previous Perfect Title and World Court scams. And as in those previous scams, large sums of money are being paid by gullible people, mostly ethnic Hawaiians, who rely upon Sai's theories to file nonsensical title search documents in court whereby they hope to avoid mortgage foreclosure. This latest scam is not only historical malpractice but is also causing real hurt to many people. The state House Committee on Hawaiian Affairs (including some Republicans) passed a resolution with no dissenting votes, trumpeting Sai's Executive Agreements theories and calling for a joint House-Senate committee to hold hearings on how to implement them. Shame on that insane committee and every one of its members.

  • Thought this to be relevant:

    In the few sources I've looks at, it appears that Conklyn is a Dutch name. The Encyclopedia of American Family Names p. 123 shows:
    CONKLIN, CONKLING
    Origin: Dutch. 1)derived from the Dutch work "konkelen," meaning a conspirator. 2) the names were given to those who were the descendants of a minor ruler.

    The New Dictionary of American Names supports this:
    Conklin, Conkling, Concklin (Du.) From Dutch konkelen, designating one who plots or conspires; descendant of the petty king or chieftain.

    • Mahalo/Thank you Gazamn............Important Information!..

      Aloha.

      p.s.  This is a post showing Ken Conlin


      Ken Conklin and people LIKE HIM who harass Hawaiian women like Terry Kekoolani who he threatened to bite her finger... like how SOME American men harassed Queen Liliuokalani:



      We should NEVER FORGET THIS.

  • The following answer to Conklin by Keanu Sai was posted by Lynette Cruz on Facebook:

     

    Aloha kakou. Below is a letter I wrote in response to an article written by Ken Conklin in the Hawaii Reporter on July 17th. Malia Zimmerman, the editor for the Hawaii Reporter, agreed to publish my response which came out this morning. The Hawaii Reporter posting, however, did not reflect my text and it was altered by switching the pronouns from "me" to "we," and much of the grammar was atrocious. I sent Malia emails pointing out the problem in grammar and stated that this was not my article. In the mean time where they will hopefully fix the problem and print exactly what I wrote, I've included the letter below so you can see exactly what I wrote. Keanu.

    Clarifying Misinformation

    By Dr. Keanu Sai, Ph.D.
    Political Scientist

    This letter is in response to Dr. Ken Conklin’s article printed in the Hawai`i Reporter online on September 1, 2011, as well as the July 17, 2011 article by Andrew Walden. I have always refrained from responding to these types of articles, but I have since changed my mind in order to qualify and clarify a lot of misinformation being presented. As for Walden’s article, I think Br. Christopher Fishkin did a fine job in his response, which can be read at the bottom of the article. But as for Dr. Conklin this response is all him, since he’s been writing diatribes concerning my research and myself. He also tries to portray himself as an expert, which he definitely is not. In other words, he never warranted a response from me until now because there are some people who actually think Dr. Conklin has valid points. He doesn’t.

    First, here’s a little background of myself. After I graduated from Kamehameha Schools in 1982, I attended New Mexico Military Institute, a military college, where I graduated in 1984 with a A.A. degree in pre-business and a commission as a 2nd Lieutenant in the United States Army Reserve’s early commissioning program. I then attended the University of Hawai`i at Manoa and graduated in 1987 with a B.A. in Sociology. While attending the university, I joined the 1/487 Field Artillery Battalion in 1984 to begin fulfilling my six-year obligation as a commissioned officer. I completed my obligation after serving ten years and retired as a Captain in 1994, where I served on both active and reserve status. My commands included Fire Direction Officer, Company Fire Support Officer, Battalion Fire Support Officer, and lastly as Battery Commander.

    When I was promoted to Captain in 1990, I began to do research in the Hawai`i archives on my family’s genealogy, and through this research I began to realize, through the actual records, a history of Hawai`i that I was not aware of or taught at either Kamehameha Schools or at the University of Hawai`i at Manoa. From a military perspective it was intelligence or “intel,” as we would call it, which is historical information I never knew. This resulted in delving deeper into the records and processing this information as if I was the Intel Officer for a battalion. In the military, a battle plan is never developed before the intel is processed. It is through this assessment of intel that battle plans arise. As officers, we were trained to view history as if it’s a film of the past, run through the projector of today, on to the screen of tomorrow. The “film” is the intel, the processing of information is the “projector,” and the battle plan presents itself onto the of “screen of tomorrow.”

     

    It became crystal clear that the Hawaiian Kingdom, being a recognized independent and sovereign state since 1843, continued to exist despite the overthrow of its government in 1893. This was a similar case in 1990 when the U.S. military overthrew the Iraqi government. By overthrowing Saddam Hussein’s government, the overthrow did not equate to an overthrow of Iraq as a sovereign state. Governments and Sovereign States are separate and distinct. Governments exercise the sovereignty of the State, it does not constitute the State itself. In the Army, Field Manual 27-10 regulates occupations of foreign states, which succeeded the 1863 Lieber Code. Section 353 of FM 27-10 provides:

    “Belligerent occupation in a foreign war, being based upon the possession of enemy territory, necessarily implies that the sovereignty of the occupied territory is not vested in the occupying power. Occupation is essentially provisional.

    On the other hand, subjugation or conquest implies a transfer of sovereignty, which generally takes the form of annexation and is normally effected by a treaty of peace. When sovereignty passes, belligerent occupation, as such, of course ceases, although the territory may and usually does, for a period at least, continue to be governed through military agencies.”

    There were two occupations of the Hawaiian Islands by the U.S. military, the first between January 16, 1893 and April 1, 1893, and the second from August 12, 1898 to the present. President Cleveland determined the first landing and occupation as “an act of war” and the second occupation was during the Spanish-American war. There is no treaty transferring Hawai`i’s sovereignty to the United States, only congressional legislation (1898 joint resolution of annexation), which has no effect beyond U.S. territory. In other words, the U.S. Congress could no more pass a joint resolution annexing Canada today, than it could annex Hawai`i by joint resolution in 1898.

    What has happened over the past 113 years is clear propaganda coupled with a revisionist history. In 1994, I decided to retire from the Army as a Captain and with this irrefutable evidence; I wanted to test the theory that the Hawaiian Kingdom continues to exist. My driving force was that a great wrong was done to my country and it had to be addressed and remedied. To do this would entail being respectful, responsible and accountable, but in doing this I knew full well that I would also be dealing with people who were disrespectful and irresponsible.

    From the intel or historical information gathered came the plan to be executed, and this plan was to expose the prolonged occupation of my country by concentrating on real estate. What we were going to expose was that land titles could not be transferred since January 17, 1893, because in order to convey property in the Hawaiian Kingdom a person granting title was required to go before a notary public of the kingdom and thereafter record the deed in the Bureau of Conveyances. As a result of the illegal overthrow of the government, this act prevented land titles from being transferred because there were no lawful notaries and a lawful registrar for the Bureau of Conveyances after January 17, 1893. There was no lawful government since January 17, 1893. A very logical analysis.

    On December 10, 1995, myself and Donald Lewis, a retired real estate broker and founder of Locations, Inc. (now Prudential Locations), established Perfect Title Company and the Hawaiian Kingdom Trust Company, both being companies established under the 1880 statute regulating co-partnership firms. Perfect Title exposed that all titles in the islands were defective since January 17, 1893. The effect that this information had was on the local escrow companies, title insurance and the real estate industry. The reason for the profound impact is that before a bank loans money to a borrower, they require the borrower to go to an escrow company to purchase title insurance, called a loan policy, to protect the bank in case there is a defect in the title, which would render the mortgage invalid. The purchase of title insurance is a condition of the loan and if the borrower isn’t able to purchase the title insurance to protect the bank he doesn’t get the loan. The lender’s policy pays off the loan if there is a defect in title.

     

    The escrow companies did not disclose the illegal overthrow of the Hawaiian government and the limitation of United States law to within United States territory. Absent a treaty, U.S. law has no effect in the Islands. However, title insurance was issued when there were clear defects. Perfect Title Company created havoc in the real estate industry because the title companies could not refute Perfect Title Company’s reports. Somehow the title industry got the State of Hawai`i government involved, which led to a raid on the company by the Honolulu Police Department’s white collar crime unit. Donald, the company’s secretary, and myself were arrested outlandish allegations of racketeering, tax evasion and theft. After a couple months, these outrageous charges were dropped and Donald, one of our clients, and myself were indicted on first-degree attempted theft, a so-called class B felony. The fundamental problem with this indictment is that real property, which is immovable, is not the subject of theft—only personal property, which is movable, is the subject of theft. In fact, the general rule of larceny states:

    “Common law larceny is the trespassory taking (caption) and carrying away (asportation) of the personal property of another with the intent to permanently deprive the possessor of the property. Larceny is a specific-intent crime. Real property is not the subject of larceny law. Moreover, only tangible forms of personal property are encompassed in the offense.”

    If there were to be any charges filed it should have been conspiracy and fraud, but Perfect Title Reports could not be refuted. This led to my conviction of a manufactured crime, which is the basis of my federal lawsuit in Washington, D.C. against Secretary of State Clinton, former Secretary of Defense Gates and Admiral Willard of the U.S. Pacific Command for not faithfully executing two executive agreements entered into between President Cleveland and Queen Lili`uokalani. The manufactured conviction also smeared my name and reputation, which is also the basis of the tort injury in the federal lawsuit.

    After returning from the Netherlands where I served as lead agent in arbitration proceedings at the Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague in December of 2000, I entered the Political Science department at the University of Hawai`i at Manoa and graduated with a M.A degree specializing in international relations in 2004, and in 2008 I graduated with the Ph.D. degree specializing in international relations and public law. While I was a Ph.D. student in the program, I wrote a law journal article published in the Hawaiian Journal of Law and Politics (University of Hawai`i at Manoa) in 2004, and I was invited by the editor of the Journal of Law and Social Challenges (University of San Francisco School of Law) to write another law journal article on the executive agreement, which was published in 2008. Both law journal articles were law reviewed, which means they were critiqued for accuracy and appropriate application of law, and Heinonline, being a publisher of law materials, published both journals online.

    My doctoral dissertation centered on the legal history of the Hawaiian Islands that stemmed from Kamehameha I to the present. There were six professors on my committee that ranged from political scientists, law professors and a Hawaiian historian. Having successfully defended my doctoral dissertation, the committee’s critique was not only welcomed but also greatly assisted me in refining the narrative and legal arguments I made. I also have two pending books that will be published by the University of Hawai`i Press, which includes my dissertation and a book on land titles.

    I am assuming that Ken Conklin, has a Ph.D., only because he says so. I can’t qualify my assumption though. At least for myself, anyone can check the authenticity of my Ph.D. in Political Science and my published articles and doctoral dissertation. I’ve also participated in a multitude of academic conferences throughout the world where I presented my research that can also be authenticated (curriculum vitae). On the other hand, I found no literature that has been “law reviewed” or even a doctoral dissertation that was successfully defended that Dr. Conklin could reference as to qualifying his opinion regarding the legal history of the Hawaiian Islands. From what I’ve heard, Dr. Conklin’s Ph.D. was in Philosophy. Philosophy is not Political Science, and there is no specialty in Philosophy that covers international relations or public law as Political Science does. To say Philosophy is equal to Political Science would be to say Chemistry is equal to Business Administration.

    While I served as an Army officer, it was required to be qualified as you were being promoted from 2nd Lieutenant, to 1st Lieutenant, to Captain. The military schools under my belt included Field Artillery Officer Basic Course for Lieutenants, U.S. Air Force Air Ground Operation School for combined arms tactics, and Field Artillery Officer Advanced Course for Captains. In civilian life, my M.A. degree, and Ph.D. degree qualifies my expertise in international relations and public law, with particular emphasis on the legal and political history of my country—the Hawaiian Kingdom. I am also able to qualify and explain the actions taken at Perfect Title Company, the arbitration case at the Permanent Court of Arbitration, The Hague, Netherlands, and the complaint filed with the United Nations Security Council.

     

    Independent authors also published articles on the arbitration and complaint filed with the U.N. Security Council in the American Journal of International Law and the Chinese Journal of International Law. These authors are law professors in the United States and Canada. I also have a new history book titled “Ua Mau Ke Ea (Sovereignty Endures): A Political and Legal Overview of the History of the Hawaiian Islands,” which is currently being used in classrooms in High Schools, the Community Colleges, the University of Maui College, and the University of Hawai`i at Manoa.

    What can Dr. Conklin claim as qualifying his opinion, a self-published book that was not peer or law reviewed or his thirty commentaries published online? If I self-published a book and wrote thirty commentaries online, that wouldn’t make me an expert. It merely attests to the fact that I paid for the publication of my own book, and I wrote thirty commentaries giving my opinion. If I were the one to peer review his book, I would rip it to shreds because it is full of assumptions, opinions, misinformation, and misinterpretations. He has no qualified opinion, which is why I never responded to his diatribe in the past.

    I was raised in an extended Hawaiian family where my parents, grandparents, uncles and aunties, instilled in me to be respectful and responsible—to be “pono.” Since I chose to walk this path after retiring from the Army, I have seen the ugliness, the disrespect and the irresponsibility of people, but it has not swayed me in my firm conviction and belief in “pono.”

    My country, the Hawaiian Kingdom, was and is multi-cultural and multi-ethnic, especially since I am not only aboriginal Hawaiian, but also Caucasian—my great grandfather, being Charles Reeves, is from Tennessee. The Hawaiian Kingdom is also a not so distant past, where my aboriginal Hawaiian great-grandparents were born in the 1880s, which is only two generations ago when Hawai`i was a vibrant country that had a U.S. Legation (embassy) in Honolulu and a Hawaiian Legation (embassy) in Washington, D.C. I also firmly believe in responsible education and that’s why I teach at Windward Community College and also sit as a committee member for Ph.D. candidates at the University of Hawai`i at Manoa. Dr. Conklin seems to believe that if you keep repeating yourself over and over, people will eventually believe you and think you have valid points, especially if you have the letters Ph.D. at the end of your name. This is no scholar, but a self-indulging man who believes in conspiracy theories that center on race politics.

    Dr. Conklin, if he really does have a Ph.D., is an angry, bitter and self-centered man, whose diatribe that he spews is neither respectful nor responsible. His opinions are unqualified, and whether he knows it or not he has provided an abundance of evidence that can be used in a lawsuit for libel and slander. If I were Dr. Conklin, I would be very careful what I write, but then again, I’m responding to an angry and bitter man and someone who is angry and bitter usually doesn’t think straight. When I was in the Army, officer’s who don’t think straight would be relieved of their command. The basis for relieving the officer would be because it would place their men, which they lead, in harm’s way. I am assuming Dr. Conklin never served as a commissioned officer in the military so he wouldn’t understand the level of responsibility an officer holds.

    Tom Coffman, who was a United Press International Reporter, Government Reporter for the Honolulu Advertiser, and Political Reporter & Bureau Chief for the Honolulu Star-Bulletin, published a revised edition in 2009 of his seminal book “Nation Within: The History of the American Occupation of Hawai`i.” His original publication in 1998 was titled “Nation Within: The Story of America’s Annexation of Hawai`i.” In his revised edition, he explains why he dropped “annexation” and replaced it with “occupation.” Coffman states:

    “I am compelled to add that the continued relevance of this book reflects a far-reaching political moral and intellectual failure of the United States to recognize and deal with its takeover of Hawai'i. In the book’s subtitle, the word Annexation has been replaced by the word Occupation, referring to America's occupation of Hawai'i. Where annexation connotes legality by mutual agreement, the act was not mutual and therefore not legal. Since by definition of international law there was no annexation, we are left then with the word occupation. In making this change, I have embraced the logical conclusion of my research into the events of 1893 to 1898 in Honolulu and Washington, D.C. I am prompted to take this step by a growing body of historical work by a new generation of Native Hawaiian scholars. Dr. Keanu Sai writes, ‘The challenge for…the fields of political science, history, and law is to distinguish between the rule of law and the politics of power.’ In the history of Hawai'i, the might of the United States does not make it right.”

    Tom Coffman restated a sentence of my conclusion in my law journal article published in the Journal of Law and Social Challenges, titled “A Slippery Path Towards Hawaiian Indigeneity,” where I advocate responsible study and research into the ramifications of the illegal overthrow of the Hawaiian government. I would like to close with rest of the conclusion of my article that followed the stated sentence made by Coffman that sums up why responsible education is needed.

    “Rigorous and diligent study into the Hawaiian-American situation is not only warranted by the current legal and political challenges facing Native Hawaiians that the Akaka Bill seeks to quell, it is a matter of what is right and just. The ramifications of this study cannot be underestimated, and its consequences are, no doubt, far-reaching. They span from the political and legal to the social and economic venues situated in both the national and international levels. Therefore, in light of the severity of this needed research, analytical rigor is at the core and must not fall victim to political affiliations, partisanship or just plain bias.”

    What appears to drive Dr. Conklin to do what he does is neither responsible nor respectful, but seems to be driven by anger and hate. I don’t even know who he is except for what he writes, so I don’t know why he’s so angry. If there were anyone who should be angry that would be me after what transpired since 1994 as a result of exposing the truth that I can now qualify as a political scientist. But I’m not angry. I have a “kuleana,” a responsibility to continue where my Queen and former countrymen and women left off. I live by my kingdom’s national motto uttered by King Kamehameha III on July 31, 1843 after the government was restored by British Admiral Thomas.

    “Ua Mau Ke Ea O Ka `Aina I Ka Pono”
    (The Life of the Land is Perpetuated in what is Right and Just).

      Amelia Gora:  Hi Lynette, Thank you for posting this, I sent the Hawaiian Reporter version to our friend Leuren Moret, Depleted Uranium expert, and this is what she e-mailed: "Hi Amelia - Dr. Sai's comment was excellent, and I especially liked his respectful, calm and measured manner. Conklin needs a conk on his head, but that would not help him be a complete or person of integrity in any way. He is the voice of the deceit and terrorists who seized the Sovereign Kingdom of Hawaii to begin with... all bullies." Thanks again, aloha.

       

      Amelia Gora:  I'll be posting this in the IOLANI - The Royal Hawk --- please let Keanu know the positive comment made by Leuren. Also, Donald Lewis will be getting info thru his contacts who receive the IOLANI - The Royal Hawk...aloha.

        Now, I'll have fun in debunking Conklin:

         

        Conklin:  "The Hawaiian sovereignty history twisters are doing it again. Keanu Sai, a convicted felon known for his "Perfect Title" and "World Court" scams, is now pushing his third one. Three strikes and you're out? Time will tell."

         

        Amelia Gora, researcher:

         

        Now who are the real history twisters?  A good example is the lies perpetuated by the treasonous persons who left the following documents in the Archives showing Queen Liliuokalani's Opposition to Annexation:

        Note:  Since 1929 till present, these documents are on file at the Archives, Honolulu.  Compare these documents with Queen Liliuokalani's true documents and you'll see the criminal deviants works due to the blatant lies..............do a comparison with Queen Liliuokalani's documents and you'll see it after you compare line after line.............this is evidence of genocide.

        Conklin:  "The "Executive Agreements" scam begins with an assertion about what happened in 1893 between Hawaii ex-queen Liliuokalani and the new U.S. President Grover Cleveland. According to his 2008 Ph.D. dissertation and newly published book, David Keanu Sai says there were two executive agreements between those heads of state."

         

        Amelia Gora:  The "Executive Agreements" was not a scam but truth.

         

        The Primary Executive Agreement was the Treaty or the First Contract:

         


        US TREATY WITH THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS, DEC. 20, 1849

        Treaty signed at Washington December 20, 1849
        Senate advice and consent to ratification January 14, 1850
        Ratified by the President of the United States February 4, 1850
        Ratified by the Hawaiian Islands August 19, 1850
        Ratifications exchanged at Honolulu August 24, 1850
        Entered into force August 24, 1850

        The United States of America and His Majesty the King of the Hawaiian Islands, equally animated with the desire of maintaining the relations of good understanding which have hitherto so happily subsisted between their respective states, and consolidating the commercial intercourse between them, have agreed to enter into negotiations for the conclusion of a Treaty of Friendship, Commerce and Navigation, for which purpose they have appointed plenipotentiaries, that is to say:

        The President of the United States of America, John M. Clayton, Secretary of State of the United States; and His Majesty the King of the Hawaiian Islands, James Jackson Jarves, accredited as his Special Commissioner to the Government of the United States; who, after having exchanged their full powers, found in good and due form, have concluded and signed the following articles:


        Article I

        There shall be perpetual peace and amity between the United States and the King of the Hawaiian Islands, his heirs and his successors.

        Conklin:  "(1) The "Liliuokalani Assignment" consists of her letter of January 17, 1893 protesting the overthrow of the monarchy. In that letter she says she is surrendering temporarily to the U.S. until such time as the U.S. reverses the revolution and restores her to the throne. Sai claims this created an executive agreement whereby the U.S. promised to govern Hawaii in accord with Hawaiian Kingdom law during the temporary period until Liliuokalani was back in power."

         

        Amelia Gora:  Queen Liliuokalani was under duress, stress, coercion, and usurpation.  Being from a neutral, friendly, non-violent nation and having the first contracts/Treaties in place since 1849:

         

        "There shall be perpetual peace and amity between the United States and the King of the Hawaiian Islands, his heirs and his successors. "

         

        Note:  The contract was in place.  It was between the U.S. President and the Monarch alone.

         

        Conklin:  "But there are many difficulties with this theory."

         

        Amelia Gora:  It was not simply a theory but facts.  The U.S. President made a Treaty recognizing the U.S. as an independent nation, along with England, France, and Belgium during the period.

         

        The 1822 Secret Treaty of Verona also discovered to have been agreed upon by Austria, France, Prussia, Russia, the U.S., and the Vatican was made in 1822 to break down Monarchy governments worldwide, the Vatican was complemented for "obedience" amongst the people.

         

        However, in 1843, a Perpetual "Peace and Amity" Agreement /Contract was made in black and white.

         

        Note:  Although the 1843 Treaty was signed, it appears that the U.S. was not honest in having or maintaining the Treaty with a Monarchy government based on the agreement which showed up in the Congressional notes of  1916 or just before Queen Liliuokalani died:

        Conklin:  "Liliuokalani's protest -- her "assignment" of authority to the U.S. -- was delivered to the office of the revolutionary Provisional Government President Sanford B. Dole, not to the office of U.S. Minister Plenipotentiary John L. Stevens. It's not clear how long it took before the U.S. found out that it had supposedly entered into an agreement with the ex-queen -- indeed, the U.S. never accepted this "assignment." There was no executive agreement."

         

        Amelia Gora:  Queen Liliuokalani merely sent reminders of the executive agreements or the primary, original contracts issue to U.S. President Benjamin Harrison who was President at the time, and the issues were resumed when her friend U.S. President Cleveland was in office.

         

        U.S. President Benjamin Harrison, Congress, et. als. did premeditate the piracy(ies) of the Hawaiian Kingdom disregarding the Treaties in place and that's on record:

         

        1)  Benjamin Tracy, a U.S. Representative was in Makua planning the overthrow in 1892.

         

        Reference:  Documented evidence filed in the Affidavit/Lien No. 96-177455 (281 pages) filed on 12/17/1996 by Amelia Gora (representative of the Royal Families), Bureau of Conveyances, Honolulu, Oahu, Hawaii.

         

        2)  Thomas Akaka (ancestor of Daniel Akaka who's pushing the Akaka Bill with Inouye, Abercrombie, et. als.) helped to plan the overthrow in Washington D.C. with Dr. Mott-Smith, Lorrin Thurston, et. als. while representing the Hawaiian Kingdom........they were in communications with U.S. President Benjamin Harrison who supported their activities.

         

        References:  Dr. Mott-Smith's and other books of the period. 

         

        My Note:  These records are evidence of genocide, treason, breach of contract/Friendship/Perpetuity Treaties, etc.  See Evidence links to important documents below.

         

        Conklin:  "Everyone knew that Grover Cleveland had been elected President on November 8, 1892, but would not take office until March (as was normal back then). Cleveland was the ex-queen's personal friend. So Liliuokalani was engaging in a crass political ploy of claiming to surrender to a faraway friend who was likely to help her, instead of surrendering to the closeup enemy who had actually defeated her and would never undo the revolution. Also, after January 17 Liliuokalani no longer had any executive authority because the revolution had ousted her. And Cleveland did not become President until 6 weeks later. So even if the two of them had made an agreement, it was not an agreement by two heads of state which would carry the force of a treaty and would impose upon their successors an obligation to carry it out."

         

        Amelia Gora:  Ken Conklin's Time Line is inaccurate.  He perpetuates criminal deceit, and must be paid by his handler's, the PIRATES OF THE PACIFIC:  Charles Reed Bishop and Friends types who are Pirates, Racketeers, Criminal deviants perpetuating Frauds, Deceit, Crimes against the Heirs and Successors of Kauikeaouli/Kamehameha III, kanaka maoli, et. als. affecting the Hawaiian Islands and the World Today.

         

        Furthermore, Conklin fails to recognize Truth, Integrity, Facts Found Exposing Criminal Deviants For Everyone, All Nations in the World to See.

         

        See the following links which is in part Evidence of Genocide, Crimes, Racketeering, Piracy(ies) on the Part of the Occupiers/Pirates in Place deceiving everyone today:

        Conklin supports conspirators, treasonous persons documented.

         

        Conklin:  "(2) The "Agreement of Restoration" is Keanu Sai's assertion that in November and December of 1893 U.S. Minister Plenipotentiary Albert Willis, acting on orders from President Cleveland through Secretary of State Gresham, promised Liliuokalani to restore her to the throne if she would promise to grant amnesty to the revolutionaries. After Liliuokalani twice refused to grant amnesty and insisted she would behead the revolutionaries, she finally wrote a letter agreeing to grant amnesty. Sai says this consummated an executive agreement obligating the U.S. to put Liliuokalani back on the throne, and the obligation is binding on all subsequent Presidents. Although Liliuokalani is long dead, Barack Obama must restore sovereign authority to the Kingdom of Hawaii as an independent nation, because of the "agreement" President Cleveland made to restore the ex-queen."

         

        Amelia Gora:  Conklin fails to look into the conspiracies documented, evidence, the Hawaiian Laws in place, fails to observe the activities of the U.S., their financial status.....the U.S., and England were bankrupt and were represented by the Morgan bankers who represented them for their investments, etc.

         

        Conklin:  "But of course Liliuokalani had no executive authority after January 17, so it was not possible for any agreement she made 10 or 11 months later to be regarded as tantamount to a treaty. In any case, no U.S. official ever promised to put Liliuokalani back on the throne."

         

        Amelia Gora:  Queen Liliuokalani's claims remain.  Her families exist, many who are Kamehameha's descendants.  Kamehameha began the Monarchy government in 1810.  The U.S. remains bankrupt, corrupt, and have been criminally occupying Hawaiian lands without legal authority.

         

        What is a Monarchy government?  Queen Liliuokalani represented the a three-part government.  First part being a Permanent Seat of the Sovereign - which she represented;  the Second Part being the House of Nobles a Permanent Part of government and whose descendants/heirs exist; and the third part which the Provisional government assumed - the House of Representatives, a voted in group of people not necessarily kanaka maoli, and made up of the many who formed groups to conspire, dethrone Queen Liliuokalani.  See the following link for more information: 

         

        http://maoliworld.ning.com/forum/topics/evidence-why-the-entity-sta...

         

        Conklin:  "The U.S. did not own Hawaii, and had no right or authority to do such a thing. The Provisional government and President Dole were not a U.S. puppet regime, and there were zero U.S. peacekeepers remaining in Hawaii after April 1. The only promise made to Liliuokalani by U.S. officials was to serve as a mediator between Liliuokalani and Dole, and to ask Dole to step down, if Liliuokalani would guarantee to grant amnesty. When Liliuokalani finally did agree to amnesty, U.S. Minister Willis sent President Dole a strongly worded letter essentially ordering him to step down (that was the first time Dole had heard of this preposterous idea); but Dole replied on December 23 with an even more strongly worded letter refusing. There was never an executive agreement whereby the U.S. promised to restore the Queen. The U.S. could not make such a promise, any more than Ken Conklin could promise to give Haleiwa Bridge to a taxi driver who might take him there."

         

        "Keanu Sai's "Executive Agreements" scam is a continuation of his previous Perfect Title and World Court scams. And as in those previous scams, large sums of money are being paid by gullible people, mostly ethnic Hawaiians, who rely upon Sai's theories to file nonsensical title search documents in court whereby they hope to avoid mortgage foreclosure. This latest scam is not only historical malpractice but is also causing real hurt to many people. The state House Committee on Hawaiian Affairs (including some Republicans) passed a resolution with no dissenting votes, trumpeting Sai's Executive Agreements theories and calling for a joint House-Senate committee to hold hearings on how to implement them. Shame on that insane committee and every one of its members."

         

        Amelia Gora:  It's not easy to correct someone so ignorant about the facts, and I'll ignore his uneducated/undereducated bantering; however, I'm in agreement with Keanu's comments about Conklin --

         

        "Dr. Conklin, if he really does have a Ph.D., is an angry, bitter and self-centered man, whose diatribe that he spews is neither respectful nor responsible. His opinions are unqualified, and whether he knows it or not he has provided an abundance of evidence that can be used in a lawsuit for libel and slander. If I were Dr. Conklin, I would be very careful what I write, but then again, I’m responding to an angry and bitter man and someone who is angry and bitter usually doesn’t think straight. When I was in the Army, officer’s who don’t think straight would be relieved of their command. The basis for relieving the officer would be because it would place their men, which they lead, in harm’s way. I am assuming Dr. Conklin never served as a commissioned officer in the military so he wouldn’t understand the level of responsibility an officer holds."

        Queen Liliuokalani prophesied and stated the following:

         


        “Oh, honest Americans, as Christians hear me for my downtrodden people! Their form
        of Government is as dear to them as yours is Precious to you. Quite as warmly s you love
        your country, so they love theirs. With all your Goodly possessions, covering a
        territory so immense that there yet remain parts unexplored, possessing islands that,
        although new at hand, had to be neutral ground in time of war, do not covet the little
        vineyard of Naboth’s, so far from your shores, lest the Punishment of Ahab fall upon you,
        if not in Your day, in that of your children, for “be not deceived, God is not
        mocked.” The people to whom your fathers told of the living God, and taught to call
        “Father”, and whom the sons now seek to despoil and destroy, are crying aloud
        to Him in the time of trouble, and He will keep His promise, and will listen to the
        Voices of His Hawaiian children lamenting for their homes.”

        Hidden behind a deceptively light tune, this protest song tells of the ardent opposition of Native Hawaiians to the annexation of their nation to ...

          

         

         


  • ALOHA Kakou, e Hawaii,

           The Greatest Enemy to the Hawaiian is the Hawaiian.  Not the United States, its Military, but the Hawaiian people!

           Take a Good Look at the Movement for Sovereignty.  Who is in control of the movement?   Not the United States or its Military, but Hawaiians!

           The Greatest of the Enemy is like Mrs Luwellla KAOHI Leonardi!  A native Hawaiian who supports United States and its Military protection of its Blood Quantum Divide and Control over the Hawaiian people!  

           As long as Hawaiians accept the HEWA Mind Set of those like KAOHI who continues to Politically Seduce her own people, Hawaiians will never move forward and away from the American control of Hawaii!  

                                 Long Live The Free Kingdom of Hawaii, o Pomaikaiokalani, Hawaiian National 1993

     

  • Dr. Sai's documentation must be very effective - Conklin's position has no authorities - he cites to references,  he merely renders his opinion - very sloppy work.
    • Yes he does not need the facts, they are cumbersome.  I read the actions differently, as it appears that Liliuokalani was restored.  How else would she be addressed as the sovereign and enter into negotiations over the Traitors [the guys Ken supports] the letters attest to the change of status, no agreement is necessary to prove.  The proof is in the continued illegal violations of Hawaiian sovereignty today!   Lets not be afraid to debate civilly Conklins position it does help us and point out what absurdities the US has to claim to try to legitimize Empire.

       

  • Conklin moved from Boston to Hawaii about 19 years ago and is a spin master of facts regarding Hawaii and slants it as a U.S. American defending their validity and credibility for being in Hawaii.  He is not credible and a racist believing in the U.S. Manifest Destiny doctrines.  

     

    Bottomline is there is no treaty of annexation thus the Kingdom of Hawaii exists.  Newlands Resolution is not a treaty of annexation.  The treaty CON-klin refers to was rejected by U.S.Congress for lack of 2/3rds vote; thus the Newlands Resolution which has no power nor jurisdiction in Hawaii. 

     

    He can rant and rave as a "New-comer" in the islands; but his interpretations are irrelevant and nonsensical.  He's a con artist to the highest degree.  We also know racism is a white-man's problem; so much for racist WASP ethnocentric white America.  Fuck 'em!  Long live the Hawaiian Kingdom and God bless Hawaii!
