True Sovereignty? The Akaka Bill and Its Implications

True Sovereignty? The Akaka Bill and Its ImplicationsToday was a good day. Just yesterday, we celebrated our Queen's birthday, and today we honored her again. At the Law School today, on the panel to talk about the Akaka Bill and it's IMPLICATIONS...Lynette took on two heavy weights FOR the Akaka Bill and it was a knock out! She actually had Robin Danner falling over her words...and finding it hard to find herself in all her deceit. Ester Kia'aina...not too sure about her...think she has spent too long on the continent...by admission 21 years...and although a pretty hawaiian woman...sounded just like THEM.   Lynette deserves to be lifted above the crowds in how she spoke calmly, simply...and held the truth up high. Her "holding our ground" even brought tears to one of the three Kupu'aina Kids from the previous legislature. Wow. She basically said...people talk about the Akaka Bill as if because it is HERE...it is valid. She said that it erases our true history and makes a mockery of those ancestors before us who stood strong against the illegal overthrow, against the Illegal Annexation w/ the Ku'e petition, and the Illegal State of Hawaii and EVERYTHING ELSE after that. Ku'e Lc.  You done us proud. Mahalo piha for standing up for all of us, our Queen, and for every Kanaka Maoli who has every stood for what is Pono. EO..Ea!  aloha no, DonnaI'm ecstatic over this especially when those buffoons employ the manifest doctrines on us. Mahalo a nui e Lynette for a job well-done!I just posted this on a response on Maoliworld relating to what these fools are trying to push on us by clarifying what manifest destiny is all about:Pope Urban II sent out his edict in 1095, Papal Bull Terra Nullius as land of no consequences, empty of human habitation belonging to no one. This meant that Christians were given the right of discovery and could claim land in non-Christianareas . The inhabitants were deemed subhuman and not civilized by their standards; thus had no nation to recognize as parallel to theirs.This is contrary to the existence of the Kingdom of Hawai'i which was recognized as a Christian natiion parallel and equal to that of the United States of America.In 1452, Pope Nicholas V sent out the Papal Bull Romanus Pontifex, that stated these barbaric, non-Christians needed to be converted and civilized according to their standards. In essence, they could occupy the land but have no rights since it is God-given only to Christians. The natives on the land could be put in perpetual slavery; the monarchs convert them and use them as they wish; and make profit off of them, since they were considered property and their possession.Despite the fact that the Kingdom of Hawai'i did not fit this definition, the U.S consistently apply it to Hawai'i through racism because our nation was not a caucasian country and it was considered inconsequential since it was a small "feeble" country.In 1452, the Dum Diversas, issued by Pope Nicholas V , empowered King Alfonso V of Portugal to shackle any Muslims, pagans and any other unbelievers to perpetual slavery, which began with the slave trade in West Africa. Because Hawaiians were of dark complexion, they regarded us like the blacks and discounted the fact of us being a Christian nation.Pope Alexander VI issued Papal Bull Inter Caetera in 1493, the Doctrine of Conquest. This justified waging war on all non-Christians; a jure belli, a just war blessed by God, a jihad/crusade of which gave legitimacy of Christian domination over pagans, sanctifying enslavement, and dispossession of property. This they managed to do quite well in their dealings with Hawai'i and its people.Europe commonly accepted the right to discovery of countries unknown to all Christian people and no other "member"could interfere in their conquest of the globe. The USA and Europe asserted the ultimate dominion to be in themselves and acknowledged the rights of "natives" as occupants.This created a dilemma for the United States of America since relations were established with the British before the U.S. Americans. The U.S. began to vie for the favoring of the Hawaiian Kingdom over the British and disdained the influence of the British and their close relationship with Hawai'i. They figured they could sway us to voluntarily to choose the U.S.A. and annex ourselves to them of our free will.Their constant presence in Hawai'i is confirmation of that fact as they sent more of their citizens into Hawi'i to change our attitude of them while still maintaining their manifest destiny dogmas on us. This is why it took the U.S.A. over 60 years to validate their invasion and belligerent occupation. This was done over the constant opposition of the Kingdom of Hawai'i and its citizens.Tanewell look what I found about Danner...send out far and wideAwhile back, Keala Kelly told me about a connection between the North Slope drilling, Alaska, the Danner sisters...and...the Akaka Bill. She told me she wrote a piece some years back, but I kinda forgot about it. Well, after listening to Robin Danner's slippery "gobbledegook" justification for all the lobbying and federal monies she receives...I thought I'd look into it. It is a 5 part article written showing the "connection" between Alaskan OIL and the Akaka Bill. Chillingly close to home. A must read. I will put up all five parts, which is a lot, but worth the read. Since we are all opposed to the Akaka Bill, do send this info out to family and friends.  mahalo, Donna  -----------last paragraph of part 5Even beyond the uncertainties of Hawaiian political identity, Alaska's Native and corporate conflicts, and the strange bedfellows of a Hawaii State agency that is supposed to represent the Hawaiian people, there remain questions about power and political process. Is it ethical for the Council for Native Hawaiian Advancement to use Alaska Native oil money to sell the Hawaiian community on the Akaka Bill, or for its CEO to receive payment from the oil industry and the State of Alaska for influencing Hawaiians and Senator Akaka on the issue of drilling in the Refuge? If Alaska's oil industry can reach into the Hawaiian community and make its will known, what other influence does it have in determining the future of Hawaiians?   -------------my comment-------------------   ONE question someone should have asked today of Robin Danner. "Are you getting paid by ANYONE to PUSH the Akaka Bill? Same question for Esther Kia'aina. I doubt anyone is paying Lynette to PUSH BACK...and say NO to the Akaka Bill.Donna part one----------------------http://www.indiancountrytoday.com/archive/28213684.html  part two----------------------  http://www.indiancountrytoday.com/archive/28213394.html  part three--------------------  http://www.indiancountrytoday.com/archive/28213234.html  part four---------------------  http://www.indiancountrytoday.com/archive/28212999.html  part five---------------------  http://www.indiancountrytoday.com/archive/28212904.html
