                          The Legitimate Government in Hawaii Series:  Kuhio/Kuhio Kalanianaole Piikoi, Stripped of His Title 

                                                 Review by Amelia Gora (2021)

   

The following links applies as evidence about White Supremacist Supporter, Treasonous Person Prince Kuhio.

 Kuhio lost his title "Prince", his lands when he supported the White Supremacist who dethroned Queen Liliuokalani in 1893.

Kuhio lost interest in the Crown Lands which was Kamehameha III's private properties.  Kamehameha III documented that the Crown Lands was for himself, his heirs, and successors, forever.

The Government lands were to be overseen by the Hawaiian Kingdom's House of Nobles and assignments were to be made by the Hawaiian Kingdom's Minister of Interior.  

See:

 

  
  

Kuhio, lost his title as Prince but the usurper entity State of Hawaii perpetuates wrongs and hide under deception, crimes of piracy, pillaging, genocide, racketeering etc.

Kuhio is on record as introducing legislation to make Hawaii part of the United States.  See:
Although Kuhio was a first cousin of our great grandmother Haili, he lost his interest in the Crown Lands, Queen Kapiolani's lands, etc. for his participation in dethroning Queen Liliuokalani in 1893, etc.
The entity State of Hawaii celebrates their Pirates, Pillagers, Treasonous persons and perpetuate the Frauds, deceits, premeditation, piracy, pillaging, racketeering which continues today due to the continuation, indoctrination of lies over time.
The entity State of Hawaii is Not the Legitimate Government in Hawaii.
Kamehameha III documented that the United States, Great Britain etc. had disabilities and could never own lands in the Hawaiian Islands.
There was No Annexation, which means the entity State of Hawaii has No Jurisdiction.
Know that the Holiday created for Kuhio is one big lie, a big "shibai", indoctrination of people who fail to do their research and believe the White Supremacists, usurpers, pirates updated term Terrorists today.
aloha.

Prince Kuhio and Kawananakoa failed to listen to their Aunt Kapiolani and filed her deed soon after they received it.

 

Queen Kapiolani had instructed them to file it After she died.  She filed a case against them and the usurper court sided with Kuhio and Kawananakoa.

 

Queen Kapiolani maintained that they were to file it after she passed away.

 

Queen Kapiolani died in 1899:

The Kingdom of Hawaii exists and the U.S. President Grover Cleveland did give Hawaii back to Queen Liliuokalani before he left office.  This means that all activities promoted by the U.S. Presidents since the time of U.S. President McKinley are illegal, have no jurisdiction, and have no authority to act because "Every Sovereign nation has the inherent right to deny to aliens the privilege of entering its territory and even to expel them therefrom."
Reference:  HAWAII SUPREME COURT DIGEST Vols. 1-14; HAWAIIAN REPORTS Vol 3, KFH 45 A2 v.3 c.2 etc.
It appears that U.S. President McKinley persevered and acted as if nothing happened and claimed that Hawaii was annexed.  It was with a concerted effort performed by many that aided the illegal moves against a neutral, friendly, non-violent nation that is a recognized nation in a family of nations and has a permanent friendly treaty with U.S. President Zachary Taylor from a non-bankrupt nation.
The face of the United States of America changed to a two (2) nation:  United States and the American Embassy which usurped the American people since 1871 with a secret banker's Constitution and a bankrupcy in 1933 which means that the U.S. could no longer treaty under International Laws.
U.S. President McKinley and his fellow pirates pirated, pillaged lands, assets etc. of a neutral friendly non-violent nation and did illegally move to claim what was not theirs, lands, assets, etc. which were returned to Queen Liliuokalani, her Royal Family(ies), kanaka maoli and subjects of the Kingdom of Hawaii by U.S. President Grover Cleveland.
In 1900 during McKinley's term, the Army, Navy and Federal Officials developed the Territory....of Hawaii.
The Army, Navy and Federal Officials are under the U.S. President's command.
President McKinley Proclaimed (self proclaimed) that Hawaii was a Territory and there were special instructions for the Judiciary.
McKinley illegally claimed that Hawaii was annexed and he was assassinated shortly thereafter.
In 1912, In Re PA PELEKANE Case, the Attorney General claimed that "the territory was the successor of the Kingdom of Hawaii"....it was at this time that Identity theft is documented.  The Territory is neither the heir nor the successor of the Royal Family(ies), Queen Liliuokalani, et. als.

1915 -  Queen Liliuokalani was made Queen for a Day so that the usurpers could obtain her signatures for their plans.

 

1917 - Queen Liliuokalani died.

    1920 - Prince Kuhio moved to have Hawaii made a State:

     

                      Displaying P1070104.JPG

     

    A Treasonous Prince Kuhio Supporting  the Identity Thieves - entity Provisional govt to Republic to Territory to State Defended by the U.S., and the American Empire

     

    1921 - Prince Kuhio moved to set up the Hawaiian Homes Act.

     

    Note:  Prince Kuhio and Kawananakoa were Not the next in line to Queen Liliuokalani.

     

    The Heirs documented were:

     

    1)  Princess Kaiulani

    2)  Princess Poomaikelani and her heirs

         1)  Alapai (w) fa:  Kuluwailehua/Kuluailehua

          2)  Samuel     fa:  JWE Maikai

          3)  Haili/Kaili/Kalama (w)   fa:  Ioela

          4)  Elizabeth (w)                  fa:  Mana

          5)  Abraham Kekai             fa:  Kekai

     

          unnamed others.

     

    3)  Princess Kinoiki and her heirs

         1)  Prince Kuhio

         2)  Prince Kawananakoa

     

    Note:  

     

    Prince Kuhio and Kawanakoa were claimed to be the next in line according to the "purported" Constitution written by Queen Liliuokalani, but it was the usurpers writings and their claims that Kuhio and Kawananakoa were the next in line.

    The False Flag operations included setting up the Royal Families according to the plans of the usurpers.

     

    The usurpers were operating a conspiracy network which included the United States, London, England and France due to documented evidence:

    Premeditation of the U.S.

    http://query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?res=9F0CE6DC1F3FEF33A2575AC0A9679C94629ED7CF

    Premeditation of London, England:

    http://iolani-theroyalhawk.blogspot.com/2017/03/london-conspiracy-annexation-should-be.html

    Conspiracy which included France ----note:  U.S., England, and France Funded the American Civil War and became bankrupt  - They supported the U.S. 

    protection%2Bof%2Bpowers.jpg

     

    Opposition was made by Queen Liliuokalani, President Cleveland Gave Hawaii Back to Queen Liliuokalani and the continued conspiracy over assuming Private Properties of the Royal Families continued.... so using the Princes Kuhio and Kawananakoa was the continued goal in utilizing the Crown Lands.

     

    The Crown Lands are the Private Properties of Kamehameha III - Kauikeaouli, for himself, his heirs, and successors.

     

    The Hawaiian people are therefore used by the plans of the illegal occupiers who have no rights to occupy a neutral, friendly, non violent nation.

     

    There was No Annexation.......see the legal article and see the promoters of crimes against the Royal Families through the moves of Treasonous persons Prince Kuhio and Prince Kawananakoa:

      [edit]Early life

      The young Kūhiō
       
      • Amelia Gora > Amelia Gora March 27, 2021 at 2:36am
        As prince of Hawaii
        Kalanianaʻole was born March 26, 1871 in Kōloa on the island ofKauaʻi.[3] Like many aliʻi (Hawaiian nobility) his genealogy was complex, but he was an heir of Kaumualiʻi, the last ruling chief of Kauaʻi. His was named after his grandfather Kūhiō Kalanianaʻolea High Chief of Hilo, and his paternal grandfather Jonah PiʻikoiHigh Chief of Kauaʻi. Like many Hawaiian nobles in the nineteenth-century he attended the exclusive private Royal School and Punahou School in Honolulu on the island of Oʻahu. In the 1870s, a French school teacher at St. Alban's College, now ʻIolani School, commented on how young Jonah Kūhiō Kalanianaʻole's eyes twinkled merrily and how he kept a perpetual smile. "He is so cute, just like the pictures of the littlecupid," teacher Pierre Jones said. The nickname, "Prince Cupid," stuck with Prince Kūhiō for the rest of his life.[4] After completing his basic education he also traveled abroad for further study. He studied for four years at Saint Matthew's School, a privateEpiscopal military school in San Mateo, California,[5] and at the Royal Agricultural College in England before graduating from a business school in England. He was described as being an excellent marksman and athlete at sports such as football and bicycling.[6]:57-59

        [edit]Prince of the Kalākaua Dynasty

        After the rule of the House of Kamehameha ended with the death of King Kamehameha V in 1872, and KingLunalilo died in 1874, the House of Kalākaua ascended to the throne of the Kingdom of Hawaiʻi. He became an orphan after his father died in 1880 and mother in 1884. Kalanianaʻole was adopted by King David Kalākaua's wife, Queen Kapiʻolani, who was his maternal aunt. This practice was called hānai, a traditional form of adoption widely used in ancient Hawaii which made Kalanianaʻole a royal prince. When Kalākaua came to power Kalanianaʻole was appointed to the royal Cabinet administering the Department of the Interior. After Kalākaua's death in 1891, Liliʻuokalani became queen, and she continued to favour Kalanianaʻole.
        However, in 1893 the overthrow of the Kingdom of Hawaii put in power first a Provisional Government of Hawaii, and then a republic with no role for monarchs. Liliʻuokalani continued to hope she could be restored to the throne, while American businessmen lobbied for annexation.

        [edit]Post-Overthrow Activities

        Kuhio in prison
        In 1895, at the age of twenty four,[7] he participated in a rebellion against the Republic of Hawaiʻi. The rebels proved no match for the Republic troops and police, and shortly after hostilities began, all those involved in the rebellion were routed and captured. Kūhiō was sentenced to a year in prison while others were charged with treason and sentenced with execution. Death sentences were commuted to imprisonment. Kūhiō served his full term. Daily visits of his fiancee, Elizabeth Kahanu Kaʻauwai encouraged him in his most dark times. They married October 8, 1896.
        In 1898, the United States of America annexed Hawaii and the Territory of Hawaii was formed. After her own heir apparent, Princess Victoria Kaʻiulani, died at the age of 23 in 1899, Liliʻuokalani made Kalanianaʻole and his brother Prince David Kawānanakoa (1868–1908) heirs to the throne. His other older brother Prince Edward Keliʻiahonui had died in 1887.
        Kūhiō and his wife left Hawaiʻi upon his release and traveled widely in Europe, where they were treated as visiting royalty. He traveled to Africa from 1899 to 1902 where he joined the British Army to fight in the Second Boer War.[8]

        [edit]From prince to American statesman

        As a Congressional Delegate
        Kūhiō eventually returned from his self-imposed exile to take part in politics[7] in post-annexation Hawaiʻi. He became active in the Home Rule Party of Hawaii, which represented native Hawaiians and continued to fight for Hawaiian independence. A much smaller Democratic party, led by his brother David Kawānanakoa, was less radical and also less powerful. The Republicans represented business interests including people who had originally overthrown the Monarchy.
        In 1901 Kūhiō switched parties and joined the Republicans. He was disillusioned with the lack of progress made by the Home Rule Party, and its control by "radicals". The Republicans eagerly accepted him into the fold. By endorsing the heir to the throne of the Hawaiian kingdom they gained significant support in local communities, and Kūhiō was given a strong leadership position.
        Kūhiō was elected delegate to the U.S. Congress in a landslide victory for the Republicans, and helped establish a Republican hold on the legislature. He served from March 4, 1903 until his death, winning a total of ten elections.[8] During this time he instituted local government at the county level, creating the county system still used today in Hawaiʻi. He staffed the civil service positions that resulted with Hawaiian appointees.[citation needed] This move combined the political patronage system of 19th century American politics with the traditional Hawaiian chiefly role of beneficently delegating authority to trusted retainers[citation needed].
        In 1903, Kūhiō reorganized the Royal Order of Kamehameha I, which held the first observance of the Kamehameha Day holiday in 1904.[4] He was a founder of the first Hawaiian Civic Club on December 7, 1918.[9] He helped organize a centenary celebration of the death of Kamehameha I in 1919.[10]

          The Prince Kūhiō Statue atWaikīkī
          In 1919, Kūhiō introduced in Congress the first-ever Hawaii Statehood Act. It would be another 40 years before seeing fruition.
          During this period, the Hawaiian Homes Commission Act of 1921 was signed by President Warren Harding. Despite Kūhiō's wishes, the Act contained high blood-quantum requirements, and leased land instead of granting it fee-simple, creating a perpetual government institution. This act and the others that followed continue to be controversial in contemporary Hawaiian politics, and have been used to justify more recent legislation like the Akaka Bill.[11] He served on the first Hawaiian Homes Commission starting on September 16, 1921.[10]
          Kūhiō died on January 7, 1922. His body was interred near his royal family at the Royal Mausoleumknown as Mauna ʻAla in Nuʻuanu on the island of Oʻahu.[12] He is memorialized by streets, beaches, the Prince Kūhiō Plaza Shopping Center, and the Prince Kuhio Federal Building named in his honor. Prince Kūhiō Day on March 26 is a state holiday that honors Kūhiō's birth.[4] Two of Hawaii's public schools also honor the memory of Prince Jonah Kuhio Kalanianaole: Prince Jonah Kuhio Elementary School in Honolulu and Prince Jonah Kuhio Kalanianaole Elementary and Intermediate School in Papaikou, Hawaii, near Hilo on the Island of Hawaii.

            At the moment colonized peoples won their freedom – and with it the right to use knowledge to advance themselves – metropolitans possessing the knowledge which had made the West prosperous and powerful suddenly began claiming Western knowledge was of no value.  But that was the 1960s.  Fifty years earlier, Prince Jonah Kuhio Kalanianaole didn’t suffer from that problem.  Working to rehabilitate Hawaiians and make Hawaii ready for statehood, Kuhio focused his efforts on an American idea--homesteading.

            Disagreements over homesteading burst into the open with Kuhio’s October, 1911 appeal to Republican President Taft against the reappointment of Hawaii Territorial Governor Walter F. Frear.  As Delegate to Congress, Kuhio was the highest elected official in the Territory--Governors were appointed by the President.  

            In contrast to the leasehold assignments for Hawaiians-only which Kuhio would settle for a decade later in the Hawaiian Homes Commission Act, the homestead associations he championed in his first decade of service were multi-ethnic groups seeking the fee-simple ownership of land promised in the Hawaii Organic Act, article 73. 

            Kuhio’s complaint detailed strategies used by Frear to circumvent or corrupt homesteading of areas throughout the Territory, including:

            • Thompson Settlement Association, Kaunamano Homesteads, Kau, Hawaii
            • Aloha Aina Association, Wood Valley, Kau, Hawaii
            • Kekupulau Settlement Association, South Hilo, Hawaii
            • Hakalau, North Hilo, Hawaii
            • Moaula, Pahala Plantation, Kau, Hawaii
            • Kihei Homesteads, Kihei, Maui
            • Hana Homesteads, Hana, Maui
            • California and Lindsay Settlement Associations, Haiku, Maui (homesteads given to cronies of Frear)
            • Makee Plantation, Kapaa, Kauai
            • Omao Tract, Koloa, Kauai
            • Pahoa Land, Waianae, Oahu
            • Kalauao Homesteads, Aiea, Oahu
            • Waiohinu water diversion away from traditional village by Hutchinson Planation, Waiohinu, Kau, Hawaii
            • Waiakea Sugar Co leased lands not made available, Hilo, Hawaii
            • Kekaha Sugar Co leased lands not made available, Kekaha, Kauai

            In his August, 1907 inaugural address, Governor Frear had asserted:

            …the highest interests of these islands require them to be peopled as far as may be by small landed proprietors….   It may yet, in the natural-course of events, prove to be to the advantage of the sugar planters to have their operations confined to central factories, and their lands, whether now held under lease or in fee, subdivided and sold to settlers.  (p231-2)*

            But by 1911, none of the cane lands had been homesteaded. 

            Kuhio’s 60 page complaint against Frear is reprinted in his biography, ‘The Empty Throne” by Lori Kamae.   In it Kuhio rips Frear for:

            1) His failure to administer the law in regard to the public lands in a manner calculated to bring about the creation of a class of citizen proprietors, holding moderate areas.

            2) His administration of the public lands in the interest of the sugar planting corporations, and to the prejudice of large numbers of would-be homesteaders—some of local, and some of mainland residence.

            3) His failure, through the policy above indicated, to assist in inaugurating in Hawaii the typical American features of citizen proprietorship, and the consequent “Americanizing” of the islands.

            4) His failure to inaugurate or permit the adoption of measures looking to the regulation or curbing  of the local transportation monopolies, in the interest of agricultural development along American lines.

            5) His close affiliation with the corporate interests of the Islands, induced and existing largely through matrimonial and social ties, whereby his administration is conducted upon lines calculated to favor and promote the still further concentration of land, wealth and power in the hands of a few individuals, operating, in most instances, under corporate forms.  (p230) 

            Referring often to a contemporary series of three articles by Progressive writer Ray Stannard Baker, Kuhio points out that in the four years of Frear’s administration, the Governor had not allowed homesteading on any of the 34,000 acres of cane planted on leased public lands.  Kuhio explains, “considerable tracts of public land have been recently thrown open to homesteading” but “of a character utterly unfit for homesteading….  In this manner the Governor has sought to make a showing in favor of the policy of small proprietors, though well knowing that he was offering the homesteader only the husk, while keeping the meat for the sugar corporations.” (p233)  

            Describing specific homesteading efforts stymied by Frear, Kuhio argues: “it is (Frear’s) purpose, where he may be compelled to assign homesteads at all upon lands within or adjacent to plantations, they shall be so small in area as to insure the poverty of those who settle upon them, coupled with the necessity of the homesteaders to sell their surplus labor to the neighboring plantations….” (p 253-4)  “This policy, if applied under the millions of cases arising under the Homestead Laws of the United States, would have paralyzed the settlement and civilization of the vast tracts of public land out of which so many thriving sovereign states have been created.”  (p270)

            In one of the articles cited by Kuhio, Baker describes an effort to build a sugar industry based on independent growers rather than plantation labor: 

            A number of small Portuguese land owners had organized a cooperative mill, called the Hilo Portuguese Sugar Mill Company.  Near at hand was one of the oldest and most powerful of the sugar plantations on the island—the Hilo Sugar Company, owning 10,000 acres of land, a big mill and a fine fluming system.  Mr Scott, the manager of this big plantation, offered flattering contracts to the new settlers, agreeing to purchase at a fixed price all sugar cane ‘which the planters might grow.’    

            The temptation to the small planters was so strong that many of them signed contracts with Mr Scott, and the cooperative mill, nearly bankrupted, sold out to the big sugar interests.  Competition thus destroyed, was never revived.

            … But when they came to sell their first crops to the big planters, they found that they were paid, not on a basis of a fixed price per ton for ‘all sugar cane,’ but for the sugar content of the sugar cane as declared by the chemist of the company….

            Baker, destined to be appointed to serve in the soon-to-be-elected Woodrow Wilson administration, complains bitterly about Asian immigration feeding the demand for labor, arguing:

            The importation of hordes of ignorant people have (sic) brought in all sorts of diseases which in this tropical climate spread like wildfire….  Too much cheap, low-standard labor drives out high-standard labor…and an overwhelming disenfranchised peasantry makes a democratic citizenship impossible….

            The system makes much sugar and large profits, but what sort of democratic citizenry does it make?  Are men improved by it?  Is there more justice, more liberty, more brotherhood?

            This was the moment in American history when the impetus of Progressivism began its decades-long shift from Republican to Democrat.  Taft reappointed Frear over Kuhio’s objection, but soon both were swept away.  Taft lost his reelection campaign to the first Progressive Democrat President Woodrow Wilson after Progressive Theodore Roosevelt split from the Republicans to run on the ‘Bull Moose’ ticket.  Wilson then replaced Frear with Hawaii’s first Democrat Governor, Lucius Pinkham (1913 – 1918).  Pinkham was followed by another Democrat Wilson appointee, Charles James McCarthy (1918-1921).  According to his online biography: “McCarthy believed Republicans were promoting immigration of Oriental laborers to manipulate Hawaii’s demographics to their advantage and served their own business interests, McCarthy was ardently anti-Asian. He appointed Charles Rice and Alfred Castle to lobby in favor of the Hawaiian Rehabilitation Bill which became the Hawaiian Homes Commission Act.”  The anti-Asian tenor of the debate is borne out in the transcript of McCarthy and Kuhio’s 1920 HHCA testimony before Congress. 

            Comparing plantations Southern and Hawaiian, Baker observed: “the note of pessimism is struck most strongly be the element which has a selfish interest in keeping the Negro or the Oriental ‘in his place,’ in making him work at low wages….  The note of optimism on the other hand is struck by those who are in some way trying to serve or help: teachers and preachers especially, who are meeting the other races on terms not of business, but of friendly contact….” 

            In 1903 the Republican territorial legislature passed its first pro-Statehood resolution. In 1919, Delegate Kuhio presented the first Hawaii Statehood bill to Congress.

            One of the last ‘notes of pessimism’ would be sounded in 1949 by Campbell Estate heiress Alice Kamokila Campbell who testified against Statehood before a US Senate committee:

            I say Russia could afford to say—and I should take a chance as one born here in Hawaii—to have Russia say, ‘All right, you Chinese and Japanese, you come and fight for us. We will give you the Territory of Hawaii.’  Should I take these chances of giving my land up and permitting Russia for one minute to do it?  …

            I don’t want to have a Japanese judge tell me how to act in my own country, no more than you Americans over on the other side would want an Indian to overrule you, or a Negro….

            In 1957 the ILWU’s pro-Statehood Honolulu Record, edited by Communist Party member Koji Ariyoshi, ran a three-part series on the Kuhio-Frear dispute.  The final installment includes these observations:

            The series of two articles published by this weekly on Prince Jonah Kuhio Kalanianaole's complaint to the Secretary of Interior in 1911 against Gov. Walter F. Frear—declaring that the latter did not implement the homesteading program provided for by law because he was influenced by the sugar companies which used government land at low rental— aroused keen interest, especially among old-timers. They say this is new information to them….

            By controlling key government officials, (Hawaii’s sugar interests) have controlled the use of land. They are principally responsible for the high price of land in the islands. They monopolize land—both public and private—and have built up an artificially high demand for land by limiting it on the open market, consequently boosting land prices….

            Many unemployed former sugar workers could contribute to the Territory's productive income in the agricultural field if land were homesteaded, but the same old excuse is being used by the administration—not enough water or no access roads to the potential farm areas. It is the old refrain for Big Five benefit.

            For decades the big interest-controlled territorial administrations have violated Section 73, paragraphs (M) and (N) of the Organic Act which specifically mandates, the Territory to survey annually agricultural and pastoral land for homesteading to satisfy demand. It's about time Congress looked into this matter….

            Two years later, Hawaii became a state.  The 1959 Hawaii Admission Act lists five purposes for public lands including: “the development of farm and home ownership on as widespread a basis as possible.”  The first elected Governor, Republican William Quinn, won on a platform promising "The Second Mahele" distribution of fee-simple land in many of the areas Kuhio had fought for 50 years earlier.

            Quinn's policy was altered by his successor, Democrat Jack Burns.  The result is recorded in the 1990 book, Land and Power in Hawaii.  

            Thirty-five years after Statehood, the Office of Hawaiian Affairs sued the State, claiming the 1993 Apology Resolution overrode the Admission Act thereby prohibiting a Waihee administration plan to build affordable housing on state-owned land near Lahaina and Kailua-Kona.  Fourteen years later, in 2008, the State Supreme Court unanimously upheld OHA’s position in the case.  In 2009 the US Supreme Court unanimously slapped down the State Supreme Court ruling, explaining:

            …the Apology Resolution would raise grave constitutional concerns if it purported to ‘cloud’ Hawaii’s title to its sovereign lands more than three decades after the State’s admission to the Union. We have emphasized that 'Congress cannot, after statehood, reserve or convey … lands that have already been bestowed on a State.'…('[T]he consequences of admission are instantaneous, and it ignores the uniquely sovereign character of that event…to suggest that subsequent events somehow can diminish what has already been bestowed').…

            The Office of Hawaiian Affairs is the effort to undo Kuhio’s legacy.
