The author states that it was the issues of the times but have you ever wondered why there is no citation as to a newspaper or some other type of document that verifies this? It's obvious the author hasn't read through the constitution. Naming all the heirs is one thing, however it still needs to be confirmed. But according to Article 22 of the 1864 Constitution it says in part:
The Succession shall be to the senior male child, and to the heirs of his body; failing a male child, the succession shall be to the senior female child, and to the heirs of her body. In the case there is no heir as above provided, then the successor shall be the person whom the Sovereign shall appoint with the consent of the Nobles, and publicly proclaim as such during the King's life
2) Six+ months before the dethronement of our Queen in 1893, Robert Wilcox,
Volney Ashford moved to usurp her
Volney Ashford moved to usurp her
Wilcox did not usurp her, Wilcox wanted the Queen back in power.
3) Do treasonous persons or their descendants have the right to claim the Crown?
So it's obvious the author is actually making jabs to descendants of Robert Wilcox, that would be Owana Salazar's family. But the claim for that is stating that Wilcox actually was against Liliuokalani, why, because she was a woman? That's why the author mentioned the laws accomodated males.
A lot of trash talk in the forum post, as always, then the author likes to state/brag that they've done 30 years of research, 21 of which included genealogy, that they have published articles, books, and so many issues of a newsletter, etc. What some readers don't know is that these "articles" or nothing more than an opinion on the internet either in forums such as MW or blogs, and that these books published anyone can do by uploading a WORD document of a write up to lulu.com or any other cheap publisher, and that the newsletter anyone can create for themselves using Word or some other application like Publisher, etc. and publish it on their website and easily copying & pasting the same genealogies over & over again in a confusing way that no one including the author can't understand.
I encourage everyone to be weary of anything that may seem a bit suspicious. Always look into it yourself, find out the facts. It's good to be made aware of these things, and possible scenarios or conjecture but at least verify the claims, especially when no sources are cited.

Again, just showing how the names are repeated but when in written form, not always they are written out in its entirely. We've seen Lot, Kamehameha V, and on Molokai we have a place named after Kamehameha V since it was his place, so it is called Kapuaiwa. The point is, it's easy to get confused with names, but basic genealogy, you always verify and reverify which is why you gather stats and from more than one source.
Other names I've seen many times, both males & females, Nanaulu & Keoua.
Mahalo for you kind words. Funny you asked this, In most countries, if you got caught revolting in a act of war in that country, you were shot and killed.
I can't remember if I read about it in Keanu Sai's dissertation or if it was in one of his videos but he mentioned this. If I'm not mistaken it was in his dissertation, but off the top of my head, he was saying that Wilcox' act was not a revolution since it was the Bayonet Constitution that was the revolt, or Thurston & his cohorts that caused the revolt, and Wilcox was attempting to put back what was there in the first place. He further explains it, what a revolt actually is, a "successful" revolt or something like that. If I find it I'll post about it.
So to sum things up, Wilcox is seen as a revolutionist (I guess) and that's why they label him a rebellion. Again, I know Keanu described it in detail, there is a name for what Wilcox did, some technical term I guess, but I also thought in the Blount Investigation this part was covered too.
You did list the 1888, which as I said, was an act to undo what was done with the 1887 Bayonet Constitution. I wasn't aware of the 1889, but remember the 1895 where they ended up arresting the Queen.
I always enjoy reading your comments and your research on history.
This information is off the Internet about Robert Wilcox. I admire him for his resistance and for justice.
My question is how did he stay alive after the third revolt and others died?
In most countries, if you got caught revolting in a act of war in that country, you were shot and killed.
I guess, we may never know the answers to this.

The Wilcox Rebellions were a plot in 1888, a revolt in 1889, and a counter-revolution in 1895, led by Robert William Wilcox against the governments of Hawaii. He was considered a populist revolutionary and menace to both the government of the Kingdom of Hawaii under King David Kalākaua and the Republic of Hawaiʻi under Sanford Dole. Wilcox’s revolts were part of the Hawaiian Revolutions.

[edit] Dominis Conspiracy
LiliʻuokalaniThe Dominis Conspiracy (also known as the Wilcox Rebellion of 1888) was named after Liliʻuokalani, who also went by the name Lydia K. Dominis. The plot was to overthrow King David Kalākaua, king of Hawaii, and replace him with his sister in a coup d'état.
[edit] Background
In 1887, in response to increased political tension between the legislature and the king, a group of government ministers led by Interior Minister Lorrin A. Thurston with the support of the Honolulu Rifles, forced King David Kalākaua to promulgate the Bayonet Constitution. The constitution stripped Asians of their voting rights while at the same time limited suffrage to wealthy Native Hawaiians, Americans and other Europeans. The king's own powers were limited substantially. Hostilities grew over the new constitution that limited mostly non-white commoners' rights and power. Kalākaua's sister, Princess Liliʻuokalani and wife, Queen Kapiolani returned from Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee immediately after news reached them in Great Britain.[1]
[edit] Plot and outcome
ʻIolani Barracks, 2007Princess Liliʻuokalani felt that her brother, Kalakaua, was not competent to be King. Kalakaua's distant cousin, a native Hawaiian officer and veteran of the Italian military, Robert William Wilcox who returned to Hawaii about the same time as Liliʻuokalani.[2] Wilcox had returned in October 1887 when the funding for his study program stopped after the new constitution was signed. Wilcox, Charles B. Wilson, Princess Liliʻuokalani, and Sam Nowlein plotted to overthrow King Kalākaua to replace him with his sister, Liliʻuokalani. They had 300 Hawaiian conspirators hidden in Iolani Barracks and an alliance with the Royal Guard, but the plot was accidentally discovered in January, 1888, less than 48 hours before the revolt would have been initiated.[3] No one was prosecuted but Wilcox was exiled. So on February 11, 1888 Wilcox left Hawai’i for San Francisco, intending to return to Italy with his wife.
[edit] A second plot
Princess Liliʻuokalani was offered the throne several times by the Missionary Party who had forced the Bayonet Constitution on her brother, but she believed she would become a powerless figurehead like her brother and rejected the offers outright.[4]
[edit] Wilcox Rebellion of 1889
Main article: Wilcox Rebellion of 1889
In 1887, in response to increased political tension between the legislature and the king, a group of government ministers led by Interior Minister Lorrin A. Thurston with the support of an armed militia, forced King David Kalākaua to promulgate the 1887 Constitution of the Kingdom of Hawaii. The constitution stripped Asians of their voting rights while at the same time limited suffrage to wealthy native Hawaiians, Americans and other Europeans. The king's own powers were limited substantially. A native Hawaiian officer and veteran of the Italian military, Robert William Wilcox, organized a rebellion on July 30, 1889 to revive the powers of the monarch over administration. The rebellion was thwarted by the absence of the King at Iolani Palace (who was needed to promulgate a new constitution), and the Honolulu Rifles. Wilcox was tried for treason, and acquitted despite his obvious guilt.
[edit] Burlesque Conspiracy
The Burlesque Conspiracy also known for an event called the Sandbag Incident. The name of the conspiracy, Burlesque, was mainly to mock Marshal of the Kingdom Charles Wilson for appearing to have been tricked into putting the Kingdom on a high state of alert for no reason.
[edit] Background
After the rise to power by Queen Liliuokalani, members of the National Liberal Party of the Hawaiian Kingdom became frustrated with her over a feeling of neglect to removing the Bayonet Constitution. Wilcox organized another plot in 1892 by forming a group called the Hawaiian Patriotic League which included John E. Bush, Volney V. Ashford, and J. W. “Bellowing” Bipikane. The intentions of this group were to overthrow the monarchy and establish a republic.
[edit] Sandbag Incident
Wilcox and Bush’s speeches drew the attention of Marshal of the Kingdom Charles Wilson. He had agents infiltrated the group and inform him of the League’s activities. In March 1892 Wilson was informed of an imminent Coup d'état. In response he put the Kingdom under high alert and sandbagged ʻIolani Palace (hence the name of the incident), effectively divert the attempt. In response by the League’s to the Kingdom to the lockdown, they aborted the coup and no event occurred. To the public the heightened alertness appeared to have no basis, since no confrontation happened, making Wilson look like a paranoid fool (hence the name of the conspiracy).
[edit] Aftermath
Wilson raided the League on May 20 arresting more than a dozen conspirators including Wilcox for plotting to overthrow the government. They were jailed some as long as June Wilcox spent 36 days in jail and was not convicted leading to his release. Ministers to the queen felt that the exposing of the conspiracy made it harmless. The conspiracy was received by Liliuokalani as one of many voices demanding the removal of the 1887 Constitution, subsequently she drafted the 1893 Constitution.
[edit] 1895 Counter-Revolution in Hawaii
Main article: 1895 Counter-Revolution in Hawaii
In 1895, Wilcox participated in another attempt, this time to overthrow the Republic of Hawaiʻi and to restore Liliʻuokalani to power. Royalist supporters landed a cargo of arms and ammunition from San Francisco, California in a secret Honolulu location. At the location on January 6, 1895, a company of royalists met to draft plans to capture the government buildings by surprise. A premature encounter with a squad of police alarmed Honolulu and the plans were abandoned as the royalists were quickly routed. Wilcox spent several days in hiding in the mountains before being captured. The son of one pro-annexationist was killed. Several other skirmishes occurred during the following week resulting in the capture of the leading conspirators and their followers. The government allegedly found arms and ammunition and some potentially evidential documents on the premises of Washington Place, Liliʻuokalani's private residence implicating her in the plot.
[edit] Wilcox's continued resistance
Several pro-royalist groups submitted petitions against annexation in 1898. In 1900 those groups disbanded and formed the Hawaiian Independent Party, under the leadership of Wilcox, the first Congressional representative from the Territory of HawaiiA few years later, after Wilcox's final rebellion, he organized the Hawaiian Independent Party, later renamed the Home Rule Party, and won the majority of the seats in the Legislature. Wilcox was elected and served in Congress from November 6, 1900 to March 3, 1903, an advocate for Hawaiian rights and sovereignty, and against annexation. But tensions between Governor Sanford B. Dole (with veto power) and the Home Rule Party did not allow legislation to be passed. Wilcox died the same year he left office. Wilcox continues to be regarded as a hero by the Hawaiian Sovereignty Movement.
