Aloha Luella Leonardi aka KaohiI have these questions needing to be answered by you. Can you answer them?I would like to know what is your understanding of the Crown and Government Lands?Also, what did you mean in your last message about my mention of Jon J. Chinen's book? Did you know him?What did you mean by, "she's (me) using the parking lot...?" Please share you mana'oi'o because as you know I have will forever, until our government is restored to stand with my ancestors as na kanaka maoli and reject the American garbage they teach...He Hawai'i Au. I've been involved since I was 20 years old and learned alot on my journeys and want to share them with the younger and older generations, as we get older I realize that this is my kuleana and should be for all who are in this movement towards restoration of our government.The things I learned that really bothers me is that alot of our people with the koko have to get over their prejudices that have been learned by the white man who came to Hawai'i, have polluted many of our people and it sounds like you have been affected by the white man's disease when I read your responses to my blogs. Do you see that? I do and that sort of bothers me, but that can be overcome with a large dose of "facing the truth" and to oki all the "bad" thoughts, learned ways and prejudices that have been instilled in our people by the foreigners who bring their pollution to our islands.As I said in my previous writings, "when our people are ready they will unite and take seriously their roles in the restoration of our government" until then, we will lose many of them along the way. I don't want to lose you in this transition of mind, body and soul. Granted I don't have a "degree" but what I learned I am willing to share and lot of what I learned comes to me by the spirits of my ancestors and people in the living as well as those who have passed on in the last 40 years.Overall, life is good as long as we are willing to share them and do it with truth and aloha.Onipa'a,Kawehi

The answer to the question is yes. What is not told is that the various sovereignty/ National groups are like the various political parties within the USA. Each have their own agenda and platform yet they recognize themselves as citizens of their country. This is ongoing here in Hawaii as well.We know that the Hawaiian Kingdom still exists albeit under the unlawful belligerent occupation of the United States of America. Everyone wants to restart the Hawaiian Kingdom. This is good! The ipso facto State and the ipso facto Federal Government are afraid that we will. Thus, through the corporate medias and the seditous school systems, they have constantly belittled the Hawaii Nationals and obfuscate the issues and facts hoping we wouldn't wise up.Let's look at the pertinent facts:* The Kingdom of Hawaii was created by King Kamehameha and stylized to conform with the international related countries.* Kamehameha, Ka'ahumanu, and Vancouver became fast friends whereby the king pick the brains of the Englishman who was a great help in setting the king's course toward international recognition.* Armed with the knowledge Ka'ahumanu gained through this liason with Vancouver, after the King died and the missionaries arrived, she had done a coup d'etat to then become Kuhina Nui. She chose to use the missionaries and chiefs for her own agenda and continue to put the islands on par with the other known countries.* Kauikeaouli was counselled by the Queens who swayed the power of the Kingdom to keep it toward its goal. He, after his brother's reign, took charge of the Kingdom. He and his chiefs commissioned William Richards to instruct them according to the Wayland's book, Elements of Political Economy.* Hawaiians were quick learners and utlized their new-found knowledge on how to deal with foreign countries and develop theirs to conform with the powers of the world. In doing so, the King chose to reform his national government and give up his absolute rule to a constitutional monarchy.* In 1839 the Hawaiian Magna Carta was created and a constitution was promulgated. Treaties with other countries were ratified and subject to the supreme law of the land.* The French and the British signed a proclamation of recognizing the Independence of the Hawaiian Kingdom as a nation-state and it was the move to join the Family of Nations. The US followed suit and recognized the nation-state of Hawaii. Through the efforts of Hawaii's subsequent monarchs, over 25 treaties with countries around the world were secured and by 1893, there were over 96 consuls and legations throughout the world.* Kalakaua, succeeded in securing relations with countries around the world and the Kingdom became the richest per capita globally as well as one of the most modern. Hawaii actively participated internationally as part of the Family of Nations, predessessor of the League of Nations which evolved to the United Nations. Hawaii's status of neutrality was also recognized as that of Switzerland.* The USA was trying to find a way to control Hawaii or takeover the islands with the people voluntarily wanting to join it since 1826. Because of the fast actions of the King; the USA could not take it without the people's consent or it would set a precedent violating international laws. The covert actions of the USA began to spin.* US President Harrison and Secy of State James Blaine colluded with Lorrin Thurston to destabilze the Hawaiian Kingdom and conspired to have John L. Stevens to assist by creating a fake revolution without setting an international precedent. In 1887 the US Americans under Thurston and his cohorts staged a coupe, the first overt action to wrest the kingdom from the King and forced him to sign the Bayonet Constitution. It was done between the years that legislation was not in session. Thus, it was never ratified but implied.* Only Stevens and his troops and the Committee of Safety was aware of what was transpiring. On the steps of a government building, the proclamation was read under the protection of the US troops and immediately Stevens recognized the Committee of Safety's Provisional Government as the lawful government. They had never had control of the police station, government buildings, palace, and barracks. The troops remained to protect and secure the US puppet government.* The Queen surrendered to the USA rather than to those scurrilous US American complicitous traitors; with hopes that upon learning the truth, the USA would restore her to her throne and reinstate her government.*The Ku'e Petions were signed by over 96% of the multi-ethnic Hawaii Nationals in 1897; all loyal to the Queen and her government in protest of the invasion and against annexation. Annexation attempt twice failed in the US. Spanish-American war began and Mckinley opted for the Newlands Resolution to annex hawaii.* So we have the "bible-plow-rifle" in which the US gained control of Hawaii. A resolution is a domestic law which has no juridiction within another country. There was no treaty of annexation; hence, the annexation is illegal, null and void.* The US belligerent occupation of the Hawaiian Kingdom is ongoing till today. The US has violated the laws of occupation and disregards Hawaii's neutrality. The Statehood act is another process greatly flawed and deemed null and void. The impropriety in the process is there was no international observance to validate the process; US Americans could vote; the question was to remain a territory or become a state and omitted the other choices. Only 22% of eligible voters cast their ballot and 94% of them voted for statehood.To summarize, the descendants of the original Hawaii Nationals are still Hawaii Nationals and the Hawaiian Kingdom still exists. The only logical consequence is total independence and the USA must de-occupy our country. OHA, an agency of the ipso facto State which is a part of the USA, is trying to comply and promote the Akaka Bill using the Kau Inoa census to support it. In the meantime, this US entity, wants to create a US puppet governing tribal entity to fit into the US system to appear as a nation within a nation by usurping the authority and jurisdiction of the existing Hawaiian Kingdom. History is repeating itself in the neo-provisional government OHA intends to establish and call it a restoration of which it isn't. When one owns the entire pie; why would one give it away to accept the crumbs in return? Knowing who you really are; empowers you.He Hawai'i au; a o 'oe?
