He Hawaii Au - Dr. Watson's Blog was again rifled with Conklin's inane remarks and insults. This is my response to him:Conklin:Being the ultracrepidarian critic, you enter your spin to justify what your country did to Hawai'i. We do know that the conspiracy ran up to the top; in the executuve branch of the U.S. where they have been trying to wrest the kingdom from the Hawaiian people since 1819. We also know that U.S. Secretary James Blaine, Lorrin Thurston, and U.S. Minister Stevens plotted to destabilize the government of the Kingdom of Hawai'i without setting international precedent. You lack to mention the Turpie Resolution of 31 May 1894 which set a hands-off policy of government officials and other nations to not interfere; thus Cleveland was forced to recognize the republic of Hawaii that the U.S. congress supported.A Joint Resolution has been affirmed by the U.S. as being symbolic, non-binding, with "whereas" being meaningless. Understanding the mechanics of U.S. jurisprudence, the treaty entered by the republic of Hawai'i was rejected and so Congress resolved to fake it by a joint resolution that cannot reach beyond its territory to annex a foreign country. It has to be done by a ratified treaty which the U.S. Congress failed to muster. In keeping with the Turpie Resolution, the Kingdom subjects responded with the Ku'e petitions by overwhelmingly protesting against the U.S. puppet government (republic of Hawai'i) and the push for annexation. One doesn't need to be a rocket scientist to figure this out and comprehend that the Newlands Resolution is invalid, non-existent. There is no lawful treaty; thus, the Kingdom still exists.There was no revolution, it was an invasion and belligerent occupation; plain and simple. It was made known that any intevention by foreign countries would be considered and unfriendly act against the U.S.A. This sounds very much like a threat; which it was and had no recourse but to recognize the republic of Hawai'i even though a few countries balked at the U.S. bullying; they weren't prepared to go to war against the U.S. Even Cleveland declared the Provisional government neither de jure nor defacto. It was just ipso facto and protected by the U.S. military.If the new government announced itself to be only temporary and provisional, why then did they immediately submit a treaty of annexation without the support of the people? William Shubrick, Commodore of the Pacific Fleet, a friend of James Fennimore Cooper back in the mid 1800s, stated that the U.S. has "a very real political view towards extending its reach onto Hawai'i" once U.S. obtained the Pacific coastline. The use of "anti-conquest" strategies of representation seek innocence in some moment they assert their hegemony. Mary Louise Pratt calls it the "seeing man with imperial eyes, passively look out and posess...asserts intellectual curiosity that is a mode of dominance justified by its seeming passivety. He takes territory by viewing, naming, identifying and classifying."Once again Conklin lies as we have not denied that letters exist in acknowledging the republic due to the existent threats made by the U.S. Keanu Sai did not lie in his filing at the arbitration in the Hague as Ken Conkilin disingenuously posits.It's more funny howConklin, a recent settler from the U.S. East Coast since 1992, cons the people with misinformation to obfuscate facts as they are and puts his own spin on the real situation as it was back then; especially when he wasn't here no have a history in the islands until much later. Conklin's remarks are frivolous and filled with half-truths to soldify his errant stance of our situation.We must remind Conklin that during the time of the alleged-annexation, there was no "world court" formed and a few countries did object to the U.S. and that there was an issue of neutrality that the U.S. was violating. Historically, since when did the U.S. ever listen to anyone that wasn't in the interest of the U.S.?We did celebrate Ka La Ku'oko'a and with pride. We don't celebrate U.S. American holidays; those are yours so we don't relate to them nor do we identify with how you haole (foreigners) celebrate them. That's your history. Your smugness never escapes us; one who comes to a foreign country to ridicule its people for not being the U.S. you want it to be. They call people like you,"the racist ugly American". People who live in glass houses shouldn't be throwing stones. Didn't your mommy ever teach you that?As for Makaulike (Tom McAuliffe), you left Maoliworld so quickly after posting your 10 argumentary points and failed to print my rebuttal to your arguments; too bad, it would have been good to debate those issues for all to read.Tane

  • Sorry so much errors, I forgot that I couldn't edit on a blog. Kaohi
  • Good morning Tane,

    Thank you for this posting of 'racisim' re-cantation, it's a morning learning of genocidal games.

    One hundred ninety years of continuous confrontation with American expansionism and their racist actions has left our people confused or just to ignore the 'talk' in hopes that the younger generation would do better. Which is where I depart from both processes. First I believe we need to continue the argument that had transpired in 1819 then move on to the continuation from Chief to Constitutional Monarchy Kam III, and all the amendments thereafter leading up the overthrow (illegal).

    My daily battles is with DHHL and their American rules and their aggressive bankers-developers oppression and control as in Pinkville. What I mean by this is our successorship gets abused and used by administrators as a political ploy. As mothers, grandmothers and greatgrand parents we have the right to name our own successor after all we are paying the mortgage to hour abode with interest. Although we don't own the land under our homes, we own our souls. As for religious freedom, I practice Lono, Ku, Kane, and Kanaloa as my everyday beliefs. Our children and their spirit belong to mothers and fathers too not a US entity.

    The penal code that the Haole's brought to Hawaii in the mid 1800s was with full malicious intent to shackel every Hawaiian living in Hawaii and threaten them with the death penalty. It was argued by UH Manoa panel on 'Honor Killinng' sources, but most people in the audience did not know they were being 'bamboozled' by Hawaiian and non Hawaiian scholars into believing their own lies. The purpose of their lies was to adhere to Rockefellar the sponsor of 'Honor Killing' and for the up coming Tri-lateral meeting in 2010. As I said the act of imprisonment and state's capital punishment were the subliminal agenda at UH Manoa.

    One needed to listen carefully to Kehaulani's talk and the other female (sorry I don't remember her name). One talked in circles about prisoners and a better way. What does that mean a 'better way'. For those of you who are still reading that's anklets or the achilles heel stuff. The other female callously mentioned Liliu's grandfather was hunged in opened court. Both females (Hawaiian gooney birds) were alluding to Rockefellars agenda of imprisonment in Obamas backyard as in 'strange fruit' hanging from the margolia tree, you know like in New Orleans.

    I can't even considere Conk anything but a stupid idiot that pisses on himself because his mom didn't teach him how to drop his passed when he goes to the toilet. That's how I'm calling his ridiculous media fallacies.

    As a family of nations and than the League of Nations for a continuation of their apology in the aftermath of war the whole Mark Twain kine stuff. Then United Nations which is allluded us to the decolonization process. Moving right along to 'nationalist' and the talk/do and being on the understanding of 'Law of Occupation', I believe is where I would like to think that 'I am'.

    Thanks Tane, I had a wonderful time with 'Hawaiia Independence Day' Kaohi
