Aloha mai kaua,I was just reading over your article and I found some of your points very interesting in relationship with the attempted overthrow of our nation by Thurston and his league of gutless terrorist fiends. The newspapers from old, including New York Times as well as some papers in San Francisco leave us clues to the co-conspirators mingling about at that time. It leaves us with that feeling in our na'au that the extremities in which they act are guided by their inherent greed and lust to gang rape our motherland.I wanted to bring up a few points myself to share with you a conversation a friend and I had last evening concerning the Treaty of Reciprocity in accordance with the attempted overthrow of the Hawaiian nation. In interpreting the dialogue between Kalakaua circa 1884-1887 with the United States Secretary of State Baynard, there is a discrepancy over Article I and Article II of the convention of 1884 between the United States and Ko Hawaii Pae 'Aina.Article II reads:"His Majesty the King of the Hawaiian Islands grants to the Government of the United States the exclusive right to enter the harbor of the Pearl River in the Island of Oahu, and to establish and maintain there a coaling and repair station for the use of vessels of the United States, and to that end the United States may improve the entrance to said harbor and do all other things needful to the purpose aforesaid."What is interesting about Article II of this convention is the language used to describe the United States Government's need for presence here in Hawaii at Pearl Harbor. Their presence in Hawaii is only to utilize Pearl Harbor as a coaling and repair station. Nothing more. If Hawaii were to allow Pearl Harbor to be used anything more than a means for coaling and repair, which history has shown that they have illegally occupied and acted against our treaties of neutrality existing with more than a dozen other nations, those treaties of neutrality would call our allies to intervene in our national defense on the basis of the U.S. Military's continued occupation and break of international foreign policy.In looking at the United States strategic and manipulative efforts to gain our nation state in treaty clause almost six and a half years before their attempted overthrow, it purports to confer their third-party conspiracy to aid and abet individuals of American Immigrant descent having naturalized themselves as Hawaiian Nationals to engage in acts of espionage, heresy, and treason for the purpose U.S. Military gain.Hence the gang rape of our motherland.Kalakaua was quick to respond to this clouded intent at occupying our nation state in 1887 and feeling the growing tension of the political thrust of the U.S. he opened the legislative session with a statement before Hawaiian Legislature in public record to state any discrepancies that the U.S. may have had in the language concerning the articles of the convention of 1884.This statement was given before the Bayonet Constitution of 1887.His Majesty states:"I take great pleasure in informing you that the Treaty of Reciprocity with the United States of America has been definitely extended for seven years upon the same terms as those in the original treaty, with the addition of a clause granting to national vessels of the United States the exclusive privilege of entering Pearl River Harbor and establishing there a coaling and repair station. This has been done after mature deliberation and the interchange between my Government and that of the United States of an interpretation of the said clause whereby it is agreed and understood that it does not cede any territory or part with or impair any right of sovereignty or jurisdiction on the part of the Hawaiian Kingdom and that such privilege is coterminous with the treaty."Upon his majesty delivering his address to the Hawaiian Legislature the United States Secretary of State was quick to respond as such to show good faith to the Hawaiian Kingdom that the United States did not have such intent to infringe upon the sovereignty of the Hawaiian Nation with the discrepancy of the language stated in the articles from that convention.Secretary Baynard's statement on December 8, 188t7 in response to Kalakaua's address to the Hawaiian Legislative body reads:"No ambiguity or obscurity in that amendment is observable, and I can discern therein no subtraction from Hawaiian Sovereignty over the harbor to which it relates nor any language importing a longer duration for the interpolated Article II than is provided for in article I of the supplementary convention."I therefor trust that it will be treated as it is tendered in simple good faith and accepted without doubt or hesitation."Six and a half years later, almost a year to the end of the seven year agreement upon articles mentioned in the convention allowing the U.S. Government vessels to utilize Pearl Harbor as a coaling and mining station, Kalakaua was dead, Queen Liliuokalani was imprisoned within her own palace, and martial law was set upon our nation with a presence of United States Marines and Navy in Pearl Harbor.Contradicting all of their intentions of "good faith" and "trust" that such articles would be followed without intent to infringe upon our sovereignty. In conclusion leaving our nation to be stuck with the continued foot print of U.S. Military occupation in our nation state. I wanted to leave you with one more quote that I pulled off of a website that you would really love to check out, as it lists in detail some of the points that I have mentioned in full."The illegitimate oligarchy unlawfully orchestrated an illegal fix of trade on Jan. 17, 1893 by using the ploy of a “military threat” against the Neutral Nation of Ko Hawaii Pae Aina. This “threat” kept the nation “quite” while they falsely entered key minister positions to gain access to lucrative trade deals and the silver and gold coffers belonging to the nationals of Ko Hawaii Pae Aina. The disguise of an alleged “overthrow” was used as a concealment of the fraud taking place for purposes of stealing the world’s most profitable trade and for accessing silver and gold before the planned bankruptcy of the United States in 1899. Fortunately, none of the fraud has any effect to the legitimate nation of Ko Hawaii Pae Aina today and that nation is not bankrupted as the United States and their corporations, municipalities, etc. are to date. Ko Hawaii Pae Aina reserves the right to refuse entry into compact with any de facto party."www.kohawaiipaeaina.netMahalo e ho'opulapula e na kupuna o Ko Hawaii Pae 'Aina. Aloha.Hale MawaeEo Lono!

Skeletons In The ClosetA commentary concerning "Nancy's Judgement Day."By Hale MawaeJudge Kathleen Watanabe after weeks of deliberation on both sides of the fence of bones at Naue, finally came to a decision on what to do. An injunction to stop construction at Naue was denied as the court's hands are tied by the law, but Watanabe ruled that it must go back to the Burial Council and SHPD since Nancy McMahon made the decision on the burial treatment plan without any deliberation from the burial council.A burial treatment plan that allowed building permits to be mistakenly approved by the Kaua'i County Planning commission despite the major mistake Nancy McMahon made in making the decision on her own. Oops!I'm not surprised in the least bit with Nancy's obvious oversight to her failure of due process. In fact, it's as if she almost did it on purpose, and thought she might get away with it. Could it be possible? Especially since everyone was already pointing the finger at her from the beginning of this big mess. Big Surprise?What I am not surprised with is that we now know who wears the pants in the state's household when it comes to law, attorneys, and judges who can only make round about decisions in this political game of hot potato. Their revised statute law wears the pants. Whatever the hell revised statute means? Only the decision seems to be an already lit, short fuse, stick of dynamite that's about explode in the face of the State Historic Preservation Division.Fssssssssssssht..."Hot potato! Hot Potato! Who's got the Hot Potato? Whoever's got the Hot Potato, you...are....IT!""Fire in the hoooooole!"Boooooooooooooom!In the case of the iwi kupuna at the Wainiha Property at Wainiha, Judge Kathleen Watanabe has thrown the scorching stick of dynamite back in the direction of the State Historic Preservation Division, who alluded to the fact that SHPD(a.k.a. Nancy McMahon) didn't do their job quite right. Does it really take a court ordered judge in an illegitimate state to have to say who everyone was already pointing the finger at in the first place? Come on!In any case, Kathleen Watanabe's decision states flat out that Nancy McMahon did not follow the proper protocol and procedure in the case of Naue concerning the revised burial treatment plan. She had absolutely NO RIGHT to make the decision on the burial treatment plan alone. Period! It was not her sole decision to make!So now that Nancy McMahon has the smoking stick of dynamite shoved down her throat and a sizzling fuse hanging from her cavity of a mouth, what will the gory explosion of her political and professional career look like before the big bang.Well, here is a prediction:The SHPD may or may not do some head chopping in the case of her soon-to-be tragic downfall as an archaeologist, preservationist, and perpetrator(oh excuse me) "perpetuator" of Hawaiian cultural sites and natural resources.She highlighted her experience working for government in historic preservation, land use and environmental planning, which have given her a “great understanding” of the issues that Kaua‘i faces.The Garden Island NewspaperGreat understanding?Of what?Obviously not her procedures within her own department at SHPD, and protocols that she supposedly has been incompetently working at for over 20 years. Obviously not a clear understanding of cultural sensitivity, archaeological importance, or the community who has been asking her to stop her multiple track record of continued desecrations! While she may have "great understanding," I wonder if she has comprehension to the issues she is making decisions on, which makes me wonder if the kind of "understanding" she speaks of here is really all that "great."Nancy McMahon also stated recently in The Garden Island Newspaper for an interview regarding questions for the upcoming election for a seat on the Kaua'i County Council.Shall we take a look? Yes, I think we shall.Try not to laugh too hard.She states and I have to put this in bold face print, "I am one of the heads of a state agency(SHPD) that preserves a sense of place and preserves Hawaiiana for future generations. I work for the Department of Land and Natural Resources."Wow! The last time I checked her track record in preserving a sense of place and "Hawaiiana" I haven't seen too much in what she speaks. I ka 'olelo no ke ola. I ka 'olelo no ka make.(There is life in what you speak, there is death in what you speak).Someone needs to heed to these words. Hint, hint.What exactly has been done to preserve our culture and sense of place for future generations? Especially in looking at a first hand current issue such as Naue, in which Nancy McMahon is so heavily entrenched.The answer to that question is that absolutely nothing has been done.Zero, zilch, nada!I'll tell you what her work has been though: a sloppy, insensitive archaeological travesty after travesty; fast-tracked projects to save the state and county department's time and money, and a slew of major developments and million dollar homes built over sacred cultural grounds of Kanaka Maoli people. Even stating on the stand before a judge in her own system that buried remains of ancient Kanaka Maoli does not constitute a cemetery.Let's not also forget about potentially misappropriated artifacts and remains that belong where they were found or that belong to the families who hold that kuleana.Is this in any way protecting anything at all for our future generations as she says in her wonderfully crafted contradiction to an article that was published only a day after her statement in court?A'ole! It doesn't!In fact, there has been more "inadvertant discoveries," disinterments, and relocated reinterments with her work as a state archaeologist for Kaua'i's SHPD department, then there has been any actual preservation and protection of those sites during Nancy McMahon's terrible reign.Disturbing graves and destroying cultural sites in place of vacation rentals is not an act of preservation of culture or place for future generations. Maybe we need to learn how to think ourselves through before speaking.The part where she says "I work for the Department of Land and Natural Resources..." part kind of sums it all up right there. Put a little twist on some acronyms to better describe the recent actions of her department specifically and it paints a clearer picture of the work they entail.How about:DLNR: The Department of Lots-a-Necrophiliac'd Remains.Or Perhaps:The SHPD: The State Houses Perpetrators of Desecration.All in good faith, I wouldn't be surprised if SHPD forces Nancy into some kind of binding resignation from her position and demand some kind of outside review of the internal process and practices within the SHPD here on Kaua'i and in the illegitimate state. With some serious renovation and reconstruction on the way, let's hope they get an approved burial treatment plan first to get those skeletons out of the closet.But, now that the ball is back in the SHPD's court, who knows what they are going to do with good ol' Nancy. I am sure Jeff Chandler as well as other named parties have a strong case against her in court for her poor decision making skills at Naue and the continuing heart ache it has caused so many people in trying to do the right thing to protect their ancestors eternal rest.Maybe we need to take a closer look at some other projects Nancy and the state have been working on. After all she's a state worker who has contradicted herself with her words against her actions to try and get on board the county council."Being honest with folks on how decisions and directions for government are made...along with being able to negotiate a win-win situation as one of my best assets."Nancy McMahonLet's get real honest and maybe we can answer some of these questions:What exactly in God's name was win-win about losing a major cultural site in the name of desecration and perpetration of our iwi kupuna in the presence of a million dollar vacation rental home in the name of Joe Brescia?Why was it so important to make that decision on her own without the approval of the burial council?And,Why is the correspondence between Joe Brescia and Nancy McMahon right before the final decision was made not being made public yet?A decision that should have never been made, where footings now rest on top of our iwi kupuna because of that same decision.The pile of skeleton's are gonna start doing a little tap dance in that closet of Nancy's pretty soon.In any case, if the SHPD decides whether or not to stuff the short fused stick of political dynamite down Nancy McMahon's throat is still a huge "what if."But here's to hoping.Cheers!Hale Mawae is an independent writer, artist, cultural practitioner, and educator of Kanaka Maoli culture.
