Praying the "Akaka Bill" does NOT pass!The forceful overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom in 1893, displaced a country’s government and its lands, not the members of an ethnic group. It was the Hawaiian Kingdom — a nation — that was overthrown, not the aboriginal people — the kanaka maoli (what the U.S. and the STATE OF HAWAII insist on calling, “Native Hawaiians”). Yes, kanaka maoli were harmed by the loss of their nation, but so were many non-aboriginal subject/citizens of the Hawaiian Kingdom: Asians, Caucasian, Polynesians and so forth. This is a crucial point. When a nation is stolen, all the citizens of that nation are deprived of their country, not just the aboriginal people.Both occupying governments, the U.S. Federal and its puppet, the STATE OF HAWAII, either assert or presume in their laws and policies, that the overthrow of 1893 affected only “native Hawaiians.” By purposefully limiting their culpability to “native Hawaiians,” the U.S. carefully conceals the scope of the problem, presenting it as an internal, localized, racial problem, rather than the violation of a sovereign nation.
As long as people buy this fraudulent “native Hawaiian” scenario, their perception of the situation (and whatever quest for remedy) will be skewed along racial lines rather than that of nation-hood. This tactic, used deliberately by the U.S. and the STATE OF HAWAII, creates confusion and division among the people of Hawaii (“divide and conquer”). Race-based programs deflect attention from the real issue of a stolen nation, and fosters insincere, token remedies, doomed to failure.
As an example: the Office of Hawaiian Affairs was created by the State of Hawaii under this false premise. While it is laudable to want to help native Hawaiians who have been wronged by the overthrow, it is a mistake to exclude from recourse and redress, other Hawaiian nationals who were also injured by the loss of their country.
If you were of Japanese ancestry and was born in Canada your nationality would be Canadian. If you were Chinese and born in California, you would be an American national. One’s nationality is determined by the nation of birth or of choice (by a willful act of naturalization), not by one’s ethnic background or bloodline.
At the time of the overthrow, there were many people from different origins and ethnic groups who called Hawaii home. Many of them were naturalized citizens and enjoyed the benefits and responsibilities as citizens/subjects of the Hawaiian Kingdom. Those who were citizens of Hawaii in 1893 were also injured when their nation was summarily taken and occupied by a foreign government, without their consent and, in fact, over their vociferous protests.
Their descendants, should they choose to assert their lawful birthrights, have legitimate claim to the return of their country and Hawaiian Kingdom citizenship and a stake in matters of reconciliation, redress and restitution involving the Hawaiian Kingdom.
In Summary......In 1893, the Hawaiian Kingdom, a progressive, literate, flourishing, peaceful, neutral nation, was seized by a group of malcontents desiring full economic and political control of these islands. The illegal insurrection was aided by the United States, betraying its forty-year-old treaty of friendship, commerce and peace with the Hawaiian Kingdom. Fueled by the forces of “manifest destiny,” ambition, the Spanish-American War and cultural and racial prejudices, the United States illegally “acquired” Hawaii from the illegal rebel government in 1898.
Stealing property is unlawful. Accepting possession of stolen property is unlawful. Governments created as a result of an initially unlawful act are also unlawful. Therefore, regardless of its disguise as a “state” within the United States of America, the “STATE OF HAWAII” is unlawful.
This also means that though seriously impaired, the lawful, sovereign entity, the Hawaiian Kingdom, still exists!Therefore, the presence of the United States and its imposition of U.S. domestic laws on the people, the territories, the economy, the natural resources and the laws of the Hawaiian Kingdom, constitute a “belligerent occupation.” This type of occupation is patently illegal according to international law.
Justice demands that stolen property must be returned to the original owner. This applies to nations as well. If justice is to be served, the United States must withdraw and return the Hawaiian Kingdom to all the people of the Hawaiian Kingdom, not the people of an ethnic group deviously identified by the U.S. as “native Hawaiians.

For those that don't understand the Akaka Bill; let's put it in a nutshell its structure. U.S. Congress is the Head of State; the U.S. Secretary of the Interior is the Executive Administrator; and the U..S Hawaiian Tribal Agency is conducted by committee members of the approved membership. This is what they mean by nation to nation and self-determination. The committee members are there to keep you in line to comply with their dictates. This is an Act of Compliance.
It is similar to the glorified OHA, a state agency, to sideline the members from making too much ado if their plenary actions as lord and masters. It's not even a democracy; it's a dictatorship. Membership will be culled from the Kau Inoa registry as they will establish a minimum blood quantum. Right now, they need the registry to support the Akaka Bill so that all will be used to support the implementation of the Bill in accordance to their supreme agenda. This is a coup de grace to overthrow the Hawaiian Kingdom once and for all to silence the Hawaii Nationals; as proof that they willingly gave up their inherent rights to the Hawaiian Kingdom which still exists under the U.S. belligerent occupation. There should be no more confusion about this; it's as simple as that!
What can you do about it? Write to all the Congress members and voice your dissent of the bill. Support all the national sovereignty groups as they are comprised of Hawaii nationals with various platforms under the umbrella of the Hawaiian Kingdom. Regard them as political parties within the Hawaiian Kingdom. Recognize that you still have rights under the Hawaiian Kingdom.
You are still a Hawaii National; your kupuna did not relinquish it. Under existing Hawaii laws; if you expatriate, you do not lose your citizenship but adopt another which means you have dual citizenship. The U.S. pushes that you are U.S. citizens; but your kupuna did not give up their citizenship to the Hawaiian Kingdom nor naturalized to the U.S. The U.S. simply declared that they were U.S. citizens. This myth is still ongoing today.
Knowing the truth, be proud of who you are. It's the U.S. that wants and needs Hawai'i for it's own purposes. You can make a difference in seeing justice done. Act on it!
