“CEDED LANDS” - PERFECT TITLE / PERFECT CRIME

If the State of Hawai`i has perfect title, then the “ceded lands” is the perfect crime.At the outset of the oral arguments at the U.S. Supreme Court in the “ceded lands” case, the state declared that it had “perfect title” over those lands and that this is an “indisputable” fact.Then the state proceeded to say that the lands in this dispute were from the illegal overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom!Apparently the illegality of the overthrow is also indisputable because it was parroted by the other two presenters and the justices. Hello!?? Isn’t illegally gotten property called stolen property not perfect title?So the lands were stolen, but somehow the title is perfect? Oh, I get it! (wink, wink) Yes, we all agree the lands were stolen, but its OK because the thief made a detailed (but non-binding) “to whom it may concern” apology, and the thief is a nice guy (not to mention dangerously powerful).So now if we all recite the mantra, perfect title, perfect title, perfect title, all will be…well…perfect! No pesky claimants, no encumbrances, no injunction, no need to answer to anyone. Best of all, no rule of law.In essence, the state is saying to the court, “We have a perfect right to ignore the 116-year-long annoyance of ‘Hawaiian children lamenting for their homes.’ After all, our title is perfect! …perfect title, perfect title, perfect title...”Leon SiuMinister of Foreign AffairsKe Aupuni O Hawai`iThe Hawaiian Kingdom

  • That's why I like Leon Siu so much.

    Also there is no hard copy evidence that Hawaiians agreed and SIGNED to transfer any of their title nor have their legal heirs. Bennett has no evidence of that so more he looks like a thief and a LIAR. Am I surprised? No... they tried to make a criminal out of Keanu for basically helping to fight for some title for SOME legal heirs. They try to ban us from Iolani Palace. All in hopes of getting all oiwi out of Hawai'i. They want the land. Stating the obvious again of course.

    Aloha e Ehu...I hope that in one of your upcoming videos you mention the statute of frauds... which requires that all transactions with real property must be in writing. THAT will get alot of people's attention. Perhaps the justcies themselves. ~ Lana
