He then contends that the meetings held with the Native Hawaiian community were open to the public and a number of individuals who had differing views attended the meetings and provided their alternative views on the legislation. He suggests that these meetings were announced and accessible to all "Native Hawaiians". In truth, the opposition was greatly voice in 2000.
He further claims there has been a clear record of discussion and debate to refine and strengthen the Native Hawaiian Government Reorganization Act since its introduction in 2000. I don't recall the title being that from the onset but renamed after its fiasco in 2000 with many amendments preceding the renaming of this bill.
Instead of addressing our position against the bill, he decided on how to circumvent it with manipulations using feel-good semantics along with self-contradictory statements to diffuse the arguments and dupe the people into something that was more of a myth to conform to the U.S. agenda.
Akaka claims to date there have been a total of 12 Congressional hearings, including 5 joint House and Senate Committee hearings Held in Hawaii in 2000. He purposely fails to mention that because of his illness at that time, the hearings on the neighbor islands were canceled and a five-day hearing was limited to the Island of O'ahu. This made it impossible for most neighbor island people to attend and give testimony. Those that did attend, did so at great expense (airfare, hotel, transportation, and meals).
An overwhelming majority of the native Hawaiians opposed the bill during that 5-day hearings and refused to be considered as a tribal people. This the senators insisted that was not the case; thus the renaming of the bill and a play on semantics to obfuscate the intention of exercising the WASP racist doctrines of Manifest Destiny.
Akaka further states that this bill provides a process for the reorganization of the Native Hawaiian governing entity (whatever that means) for the purposes of a federally recognized government to government relationship. Whatever happened to the government to government relationship with the Hawaiian Kingdom which still exists albeit under the U.S. belligerent occupation?
The bill authorizes an office in the Department of the Interior instead of the Department of the State to serve as a liaison between native Hawaiians and the United States and forms an interagency task force composed of officials from federal agencies who currently administer programs and services impacting native Hawaiians to establish the parameters the Native Hawaiians can work within for self-determination.
The opening paragraph of the bill tip-toes through the maze of arguments by side-stepping the issues and facts mentioning the reconciliation of the wrong committed by the United States against the Native Hawaiians. At the same time it minimizes the U.S. criminal involvement by stating that it was done by participation of agents of the United States.
Let's look at who the agents were:
President Benjamin Harrison who approved the actions and bent on annexing Hawai'i to the U.S. as previous U.S. presidents had been attempting to consummate.
Collusion of the U.S. Secretary of State, James L. Blaine, with the pro-annexationist U.S. minister John L. Stevens and accomplice Lorrin Thurston (U.S. citizen born and residing in the Kingdom of Hawai'i who swore allegiance to the Kingdom's government, being commissioned by the King to serve in his government).
The landing of U.S. military troops to protect the treasonous conspirators to create the U.S. puppet Provisional Government which later they renamed itself the republic of Hawaii. Interesting enough is that the treasonous Committee of Safety had silver coins melted down to have a silver tea set made to present to U.S. Minister Stevens for his part in the takeover and protecting them while they were doing it and after setting up their ipso facto government.
U.S spy General Schofield who surveyed the islands for the ideal military outposts and others who committed covert and overt actions against the Hawaiian Kingdom.
The push for takeover and destabilizing the Kingdom's government executed by U.S. American agents, other U.S. citizens of political, economical, and military clout.
The immigration of U.S. citizens into the Hawaiian Kingdom to support the takeover in a U.S. national movement.
This bill, then, creates a redefinition of native Hawaiians to fit an after-the-fact scenario as Native Americans proscription to fit within their Native American Policy. It also ignores the Hawaiian Subjects that are not Native Hawaiian and invalidates their existence. The imposition of blood quantum furthers the alienation of the subjects of the Hawaiian Kingdom; the bona fide citizens and nationals of our Kingdom.
This bill makes you jump through the U.S. hoops to prove who you are; while it gives proxy to an unlawful entity to usurp the sovereign jurisdiction and recognized status of an international nation-state. Compliance to this bill means to surrender one's citizenship of the Hawaiian Kingdom and to validate the U.S. citizenship.
It also prohibits one from suing the U.S. military for accountability. U.S. Congress will possess and exercise, under the plenary authority of the Constitution to legislate on behalf of the indigenous people including native Hawaiians; including but not limited to Property, Treaty, Supremacy clauses, War powers, 14th Amendment, which it relies on those powers in enacting this legislation.
This means Congress has the power to recognize the Native Hawaiian tribe and to un-recognize the Hawaiian tribe at its whim. It's interesting to note the repetition of providing notice to and consult with and negotiate with this entity regarding the resources, rights, and lands.
In the end, this bill promotes the U.S. WASP racist Manifest Destiny Doctrines that professes they are ordained by God (Divine Providence) to rule over non-whites as a superior race that can do anything they want to do.
What Akaka has stated will not change with the proponents of the bill who will continue to parrot his same rhetoric. The idea of this bill being better than nothing and the U.S. won't give up Hawai'i is fatuous and being a defeatist. They are being disingenuous in defending it as U.S. Americans rather than Hawaiian nationals looking for justice and freedom from the suppressor.
There should be a debate or symposium to address the legitimacy of the proposed bill and the proper process of addressing the U.S. belligerent occupation of the Hawaiian Kingdom.

Hapenuia! I hope all's well with you. I went to myspace to look at my blogs and decided to share my blog comments with maoliworld to get some of the word out to the Hawaii Patriots and the public. I expressed a lot of my thoughts there but rarely go to that site nowadays.
I'm still on my medications. Boo! One of the side effects make me feel tired. Some days are good and some days are down. Doctors appointments for my heart and another for my eyes are forthcoming. LOL... Being 'elemakule is sometimes challenging. LOL....
Aloha Amelia:
Hapenuia! LOL.... You are absolutely correct. There are journals housed in the Library of Congress that will attest to what you have added and more. The WASP, North American Journal is but the tip of the iceberg. The background check of those U.S. conspirators also reveal a lot of how they think and how they acted. It's like a thousand-piece jigsaw puzzle that one has to glean from and fit into place. Many of the people should take the time to go through these and discover lots of hidden words that reveal their agenda and actions. I'm surprised that many think the behavior of the U.S. and their leaders were noble were benign and noble.
Mahalo ia 'oe for all you have been doing in getting the truth out to the public; they get only what the U.S. wants them to know. The United States of America is made up of what it made up. Wikileaks proves that. LOL.... We can see them in action today through the corporate news media spinning their myths with sales & marketing techniques to brain-wash and propagandize their people; only to be exposed for who they are as manipulative military industrial complex and Wall Street patsys and "pirates" of the world. Double-standard justice is their way of life!

To saythe Bill is dead is to create a divertion from OHA next move. De-occupation is imperative, I have to trust what little I know and go with the de-occupation of US.

Thank you for this bottom line.
Morning Tane,
Must not forget the many issues that the U.S. did try to annex the Hawaiian Kingdom since the 1820's through the missionaries/mercenaries...........
The U.S. did conspire against our neutral, non-violent, friendly nation over time (Schofield, Thurston, Thomas Akaka (ancestor of Daniel Akaka), et. als.).......
The U.S. Congress did PREMEDITATE the criminal assumption of our neutral, non-violent, friendly nation..........
The U.S. did operate on PIRACY(IES).............President Harrison stopped the passage of Congressional passed bills to move towards laws, by applying his Executive Orders.......
Queen Liliuokalani and subjects were placed under duress, coercion, stress, usurpation...............
Much fraud has been found..........racketeering Americans who took over the government did move towards our Trusts, etc.............
Pirating of our Hawaiian Kingdom Treasury............stealing the gold bullions, silver, gold coins of the realm, etc.............
Criminal assumption of lands without authority........because the true bloodlines, families, exist.......including Kamehameha III's descendants/heirs..................even PEARL HARBOR is part of Halawa which belongs to the family of Grace Kamaikui, etc.
President Cleveland gave Hawaii back to Queen Liliuokalani..........it was only temporary that she handed the Hawaiian government to the President..............it automatically returned...........
The facts alone tells everything.....................the background of Daniel Akaka tells everything............and there's more................Genocide, etc.
aloha.

To say this Bill is dead is being disingenuous. Right now, OHA is trying to create a "Native Hawaiian" Government to set in place to turn over to the U.S.A. and thereby fulfilling the dreams of the U.S.A., OHA, Akaka and Inouye to usurp the status and jurisdiction of the Hawaiian Kingdom. It's an attempt to impede the international law of Occupation to take the Kingdom once and for all and make the myth a continued reality the U.S. maintains to secure it as its possession. It's the criminal fencing stolen property unto itself and make it look legitimate. The U.S.A. must de-occupy Hawai'i and restore the Hawaiian Kingdom according to the law of occupation and adhere to our status as a friendly, neutral nation.
