AKAKA BILL OPPOSITION GROWS

By Mark Niesse - Associated Press Writer HONOLULU (AP) — Opposition to a proposed Native Hawaiian government comes from those who fear race-based privileges and Hawaiians who believe it would forfeit their 116-year-old claims to independence.... ...Opponents say its approval would perpetuate wrongs rooted in the 1893 overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy."We're continuing in a situation of occupation, which is promoted by the Akaka Bill supporters," said Kawika Liu, a Hawaiian physician who favors independence."To be a Hawaiian independent nation is not an option with the Akaka Bill. It replicates a colonial mentality."

  • Show me the Treaty of Annexation that was ratified by U.S. Congress! There is none! Show me the consent of the people. It's the Ku'e petitions whereby 98% of the people protested against annexation. The U.S. created the State of Hawai'i which is a violation against the laws of occupation. There is ample proof that the U.S. plotted and participated in destabilizing the Hawaiian Kingdom and takingover a recognized sovereign nation-state with the apparance of not setting international precedence. The criminal U.S. Rogue Regime can go to hell! God bless the Hawai'ian Kingdom!
