Join us Monday for Ku’e (Protest) at the Palace

Alarge group of Hawaiians will gather on Monday, December 6 at ‘IolaniPalace to protest the use of the palace grounds as the site for theinauguration of Neal Abercrombie as the next Governor of the State ofHawai’i.

The protesters maintain that having the inauguration onthe grounds of ‘Iolani Palace, the most recognizable and enduringsymbol of the Hawaiian nation, would constitute an act of disrespect anddesecration of this historic and sacred site; an affront to the royalsand subjects whose nation was summarily stolen from them in 1893; and asenseless act of provocation to the Hawaiianpeople of today.


At8:00 AM, Monday morning, Dec. 6 the group will gather and lokahi atKakaako Waterfront Park (for parking purposes, big area, no meters) Fromthere we will run shuttles over to the makai (Queen Streeet) side of Ali'iolani Hale (oppositeside from King Kamehameha Statue). By 9:00 AM we will be in position atmakai corner of King and Richards Street facing the Palace and theCoronation Stand where the inauguration is scheduled to start at 9:30AM.

For more information, call Pilipo Souza 358-6428

Malama pono,

Inauguration at palace would be bad form

Theplanners for last year's 50th anniversary of statehood deemed it wouldbe insensitive to use Iolani Palace to stage a celebratory event for thejubilee. The concern was it would be offensive to Hawaiians who contendHawaii is still a sovereign nation and Iolani Palace sacred ground.

Sowouldn't using the palace on Monday to inaugurate the next governor ofHawaii be just as insensitive? Why would the state refrain from causingan affront one year, then cause an affront just as egregious the next?

For Neil Abercrombie to start his term with such an insult to the already injured Hawaiian community would be very bad form.

  • How did it go from your perspective. I was sad to hear one local TV station refer to the demonstators merely as "hecklers".
  • See you there Pono and thank you thank you THANK YOU for not capturing my mana.
  • Comment by Janos (Keoni) Samu 1 hour ago Aloha mai kākou,
    ʻOli e no ke kū ʻē!
    Mahalo nui loa to Pomai and Pono Kealoha for the initiative to organize the Kū ʻē tomorrow on December 6, 2010. It is time that the kānaka hoʻohuhū again publicly and do something that Americans no longer have the courage to do. It is the oppressors who keep the people in fear and make them used to humiliation so that soon they march like a flock of sheep following their masters’ order with an occasional b-e-e-e. They are desecrating of the burial places, sacred institutions and tramping on the culture of our Hawaiian lāhui.

    Think of the sequence of events:

    1/
    The oppressors created the terror scene on 9/11 under a false falg and they have been pounding our brains with their lies on a daily basis: "we are the greatest country and they want to take away our greatness and our freedom" to induce fear in us and to hate a group targeted by their colonialist policy.

    2/
    At the time of 9/11 they implemented the crawlers (tickers) on the TV-screen to divide your attention and prevent you from concentrating on something, because you might start to think, and thinking is dangerous for them. The crawlers are still running ... 9 years later with the same purpose - to prevent you from concentrating and focusing on one thing.

    3/
    Then they came up with letter bomb, shoe bomb, underwear bomb scares - all centrally invented to keep the momentum of fear in the people. After each of these false flag event they made some rules stricter on you. Gradual indoctrination.

    4/
    They invented the 16 oz mailbox mailing ban rule which they changed to 13 oz soon. You cannot drop anything heavier in the mailbox as if 5 pieces of 12 oz dynamite could not be able to do the same damage as a 60 oz one. This is to make you appear in the post offices more frequently and have a record of you.

    5/
    Then they invented the no liquid, no gel rule in your carry-on baggage to make you more scared and to keep you in line and scared.

    6/
    They make you take off your shoes at the airport security, and they even make your baby wake up so that you can take of his/her shoes. Only in the United States and in the occupied Hawai`i. This is just to keep you under control and making you get used to the idea of following their orders blindly.

    7/
    Now they don't accept airline reservations without your giving them your name, sex and birth date, to be able to find you easier and to keep your plans on record.

    8/
    They implemented the ink cartridge ban of cartridges weighing 16 ounces or more in checked and carry baggage. The logic is the same as in item 4.

    9/
    News begins with bad news: murder, drugs, violence to indoctrinate you that life is bad around you - accept it. They don't want you to trust anyone, because if you trust, you may join forces and that's a big threat for them.

    10/
    And the latest one is the humiliation with the full-body X-rays. It is the humiliation experiment to force you to set aside your humility and privacy in the interest of national security (the biggest lie). This is the final stage in submitting you to total government control. The next one probably will be the public execution of those who resist and you will be expected to watch it in fear and with obedience.

    They achieved that many people don't have the courage to tell their opinion publicly. Do we, Hawaiians have the courage to put out the sign "End U.S. occupation now!" and "Kū ‘ē ‘Amelika"? Yes, we do! And the time is now and we have to carry it on until this great nation regains its independence.

    That's the reason we have to set an example of resisting and demanding what we want. Telling to the world that "we suffered great injustice" is not enough. We must say what we want! We must say that we want independence, and if more and more people say it, we may be able to win the struggle one day.

    Mahalo nui loa and long live the Kingdom of Hawaiʻi.

    Me ke aloha pumehana
