Faced with a proposed 100% cut in general spending, the Office Of Hawaiian Affairs has in turn slashed the funding of three organizations widely recognized for serving native Hawaiians in need.Yet OHA refuses to admit two things - why Hawai`i’s legislature would force such drastic cuts in OHA funds, and the fact that OHA has the money to keep all three of these organizations going right now.Wondering what’s going on? You won’t believe what we found including who’s standing their ground this coming Wednesday on Free Hawai`i TV. The answers will both shock and surprise you.Speaking of shocks, Mahealani Kahau’s Hawaiian Kingdom Government delivered a big one to the fake state of Hawai`i one day last spring when they stood their ground and occupied `Iolani Palace grounds refusing to let anyone in.If you’re curious how it all happened and why, tune in this week as we visit with Mahealani in a brand new segment, and also Kaua`i’s Hale Mawae on Voices Of Truth – One-On-One With Hawai`i's Future.MONDAY, April 27th At 6:30 PM –Maui – Akaku, Channel 53MONDAY, April 27th At 7:00 PM & FRIDAY, May 1st At 5:30 PM –Hawai`i Island – Na Leo, Channel 53SATURDAY, May 2nd At 8:00 PM –O`ahu, `Olelo, Channel 53“Kingdom With Aloha – A Visit With Mahealani Kahau”One early morning in April 2008, members of the Hawaiian Kingdom Government locked down and occupied `Iolani Palace grounds and reclaimed it as the Hawaiian Nation seat of government.
