What is Manifest Destiny?
Manifest Destiny is a collection of doctrines based on White Anglo-Saxon Protestant (WASP) racial superiority and its religious doctrines to validate expansionism and imperialism premised by the Roman Catholic Church's Papal Bulls; pre-ordained by God (Divine Providence) to exercise hegemony over its neighbors as justified and inevitable.
It incorporated race, religion, culture, and economic necessity as being pre-ordained by God or genetics of the caucasian people of the United States for greatness due to the natural superiority of the Anglo-Saxon race. It's a historical expansionist doctrine belief that was prevalent in the 19th century that the United States of America had the God-given right to expand into and possess all of the North American continent and throughout the world.
As a government of the free white race that carries the "white man's burden"; it is their responsibility to lead inferior races to better lives under their superior system rather than living under oppressive (?) foreign rule. As the international police power, "uncivilized" peoples could be improved by exposure to its WASP Christian, democratic values expressed by the United
States of America.
The United States of America believes Divine Providence (God) gives them paternalistic control over subject races and vassal states (held land from a superior in exchange for allegiance and services), in which one class must forever rule and other classes must forever obey. This means the U.S.A. is the master of the vassal which is a holder of land by feudal tenure on conditions of homage and allegiance in humble dependency like a slave in a feudal system or its principles.
According to believers of Manifest Destiny, Divine Providence (God) has given the United States of America the duty of extending WASP Christian civilization which comes as ministering angels. It is through these WASP churches that the doctrines of Manifest Destiny are inbued, professed, and continues to thrive with impunity.
The fact that the U.S. constitution is applied only to U.S. citizens, the Akaka Bill which manifests these doctrines, affect Hawai'i's takeover which has been carefully orchestrated to absolve the United States of America's criminal conduct for assailing a co-member of the Family of Nations through its racist double-standard doctrines. The Hawaiian Kingdom still exists; there is no lawful treaty of annexation. One has to be a U.S. citizen to be a participant in the Akaka Bill. Do the math!

In between maoliworld and events/frontline confrontations, we often meet in palor 'talkstory'. There seems to be gaps in between the strings posted, and those gaps get solved in our discussions. It takes money and time however it's worth the effort. Right now the DU and the military mighty blow on our poverty as in pinkville are taking it's toll. Tani and Pono have made themselves available in these 'talk story' sessions to help clarify and solve some of the misuse and abuse of some leaders--especially those that are on the Inouye pay roll.
The issue is granting the military a License to posses DU and everyone is assuming that a permit cleans up the isotopes, therefore, let's give the army a license to posses DU and a permit to clean up their mess--I'm opposed to the military receiving a License to posses radiactive depleted uranium.
I don't know why but most leaders in the fight against the military abuses in Hawaii assumed the position to allow the military to posses a license for the continued use of depleted uranium in there live fire training. This is so nuts!!!
Did quickly breeze through (40 pages) ones posting on charter schools. Because I am a sub-teacher I get to teach at different schools and from my myopia outlook--it takes time for all to work together for the common good of education. Until this happens, I have nothing nice to say about the charter schools. It's only because we have a lost 4,000 children in state 'human trafficking' and joining both creates a large number of lost generations in a given population -poor and native Hawaiian.
Switching subjects--we recently had a confrontation with DLNR over a stupid pop tent at the Iolani Palace on Jan 17 2010. There is a serious ramification for this incident because it has an effect on all homeless in Hawaii. I have been out in the homeless areas with Act 50 warning the leaders in different camps about the intended ruling on Marie Beltran vs State of Hawaii. Judge Acoba wants Hawaii to adopt the same definition as Beverly Hills. From tent to cardboard boxes would be the results on Mar 1, when George goes to court. For now I'm juggling the sick into a possible village. Kaohi
The islands have their own driven natural working structures which we have intermixed into our culture. Too bad, we or I didn't have the opportunity to have learned from a seven generation of mastering my own destination. The US did a lot of damage 200 years to present.
As the bits and pieces, I believe strongly as to what Soli said and steadied the course even in the wake of Uncle Sam's Keleileiki's registrational process soon after the 'enforecement' of rule changes or practice in the field. Uncle Sam favored the majority ruled where as Soli talked about serving ones people with Kilo knowledge and creative thought (my interpretation). I find a problem with both concerns. The Henry Noa--majority rules is a very oppressive process and I believe Soli alluded to that consciousness and gave those of us that consider our personal voice as not of the majority --gave way to differences at the line. But, uncle he's been around knows that 'no mans an island' sorta.
I oppose to go green in theory only because their is a duality in it's assumptions, and basically I believe it's not enough to call it a working 'human structure' of systems. I don't see anythin new, but a status quo of manifest destiny which is why I believe the followers of leaders should or may want to retain some form of dignity other than just follow for the sake of feel good following.
Right now at this juncture Mahealani is being called on the carpet over money as well as sovereign paper work. I believe there is/was a deal made in belief systems and a corporate structured formation. As I explained to my girl friend that believed in her organization to the point of experienced and it's effect/ineffectual leadership problems within organizations just happens. I believe that however strong ones leadership and how pono it is, I feel it's temporary and one has to reach their own level of participation as well as cooperation.
Leadership within the Hawaiian community rise and fall, but when it falls how graceful one lands, I believe stands within ones learning. I believe that is my point to ones manifest destiney. Native communities and their political process can be oppresive too. I don't enjoy this notion of 'leadership' as a never ending story outside of our family DNA connection. So what is my concern.
I live in an all Hawaiian community with young children that grow together in their thoughts and play. Never before did I see such co-joining and outside leaders from this community take interest. And oppresive leadership, so it's important to understand whose making the call to action and is this an oppressive frontline solutions to the problem? Is this a top down planned out leadership that oppressives the so called 'slavery' by way of popular vote or oppressive vote.
The 'palor' environmental exchange of thoughts can/cannot be oppressive and that is the'freedom' in which I am referring too. Example, my Na Kupuna always visited their cooperative process of exchange in ones home. From that agreement/disagreement it exchanged into the next generation--that depended not just on time, but resources. I believe the community/communal provided that small group mentality and ones intentionality. I believe this is how we kept the communal living real and begged to differ with uncle Sam as to the majority rule and side with Soli as he asked 'that the leadership be serving to one's culture and their values.' There lies the problem within/out what are the culture values? Who interprets these values? Does it always have to come from scholarly well thought out, or is their an assertion of Na Kupuna (note that I make a distinction of Uncle Sam and his direction) although a given is it a majority vote or culture beliefs.
Staying with Soli on the Big Island, we ran head on into this problem of Na Kupuna from the time of Kamehameha I and their forestry/park/artistry version of what is. I simply did no know how to follow through on my intentions and serve our people. When I had a fanned out almost full circle of opposing views presencesed itself, by hook and crooked side winding goals seekers. So what was the pay off, I had asked? Does scholarship always win out from our own thinking? Is this the purest form of salvery? If so, how does one emancipate? Is there such a thing as freedom to think in the wake of academic oppression?
Computer acting up so will end here. Love Kaohi
So it's not the constitution of that country but the treaties it ratifies thr0ugh that instrument's process. What does apply are international laws.
As for the USSC, we all know about the misinterpetation of their own lands. If it is true that the U.S. Constitution applies only to U.S. citizens, then citizens of other nations who are in the U.S. need not to comply with the laws of the U.S. Constitution. Citizens of other nations who work in the U.S. should not have to pay taxes to the U.S.......... On and On..............
My Point that I'm making is that under the Constitution of the U.S. I am a Hawaiian National of the Hawaiian Kingdom nation. Not only under the laws of the Hawaiian Kingdom and Interantioal laws, but the Kingdom of Hawaii.
Like Pono keeps on telling me, I just see things differently. That's the Hawaiian in Me..... o Pomai
