Comments DUE MONDAY, 1/24 on Helicopter Trainings on Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa!
hoa aina,
Mahalo nui to all those that came out to the public scoping meetings, in Hilo and Waimea, on the proposed expansion of training at Pohakuloa.
- Jim Albertini of Malu Aina attended the meeting in Hilo and reports back, “testimony went for 2 hours. Not one person spoke in support of the military expansion plans”.
- Here's a piece from Big Island Video News
- Read here about the Waimea meeting in an article from West Hawai`i Today. Uncle Isaac Harp is quoted as saying, “What percentage of people need to oppose your project before you stop? The public doesn't want it.”
We’ve also received many e-mails this week from people who were unable to attend, but want to express opposition, here’s your chance!
Written comments on the Environmental Assessment and Finding Of No Significant Impact are due January 24, 2011.
Email to: William.Rogers5@us.army.mil , or mailed to: Directorate of Public Works, Environmental Division (IMPC-HI-PWE), Attn: Mr. William Rogers, 947 Wright Avenue, Wheeler Army Airfield, Schofield Barracks, 96857-5013.
Here’s a link to the EA and Draft FONSI if you’d like to read them for yourself.
The Army is proposing a modernization and expansion of military activities at Pohakuloa, of which we are particularly concerned about High Altitude Mountainous Environment Training (HAMET). This type of training would involve helicopter landings on the slopes of Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa.
The last time this training was done in 2003, there was a hard landing in the Mauna Kea Ice Age Natural Area Reserve, which contains the Keanakako`i adze quarry within it. This area is 3.5 miles east of the landing zone! This type of training in this area necessarily means inexpert pilots flying and landing in irreplaceable areas of natural and cultural value. Similar crashes, some of them deadly, have occurred in decidedly less treacherous conditions at Schofield in 2009 and 1996, as well as over Kahuku in 2001.
So, given the public opposition, and the proven high-risk of this training, why is the Army pushing forward without performing a full Environmental Impact Statement? How can they file a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) when there are known natural and cultural resources in the area? Has the safety of recreational users and cultural practitioners been considered? Questions like these (and others burning in your heart and mind) need to be asked!
Here’s a link to an awesome sample letter submitted by Aunty Cory Harden! Big Mahalo, Aunty!
E holomua kakou,
Shelley

Summary of Talking Points:
• Dangers to recreational users and cultural practitioners posed by pilot-trainees
• Threats to endangered and protected species in the project area
• Lack of community consultation
• Inadequacy of cultural resource research and surveys
• The questionable safety record of military attack helicopter training in Hawai`i

The second time in history, the Hawaiian Kingdom patriots took the limelight from the parade by preceding the U.S. Color Guards to open a parade. It was an exhilarating moment and a sight to see. The Hawaiian patriots spearrheaded by so...me of the notable leading activists reasserted their rights by preceding the U.S. parade whose attempt to superimpose their celebration to usurp the Hawaiian Kingdom nationals of their commemoration marking the U.S. unlawful invasion and belligerent occupation of their country, the international recognized nation-state of the Hawaiian Kingdom.
The U.S. has been violating the Hawaiian Kingdom laws, the international law of occupation and the international law of neutrality for 118 years. Although the U.S.A. has acknowledged its criminal actions, they refuse to rectify crime and continues to make a mockery of justice, freedom, and democracy. It's degenerate, immoral behavior and racist doctrines is its downfall of which it takes great pride and the world bully that even victimizes its own citizens as well as other world nations. U.S. Americans should wrest their country from the oligarchial corporate industrial complex that enslaves them and whom robs them of their rights.
Kudos for those that made this happen. It was heartening to see the younger generation participating and standing tall as true Hawaiian patriots. Mahalo ia kakou to those that were able to attend to represent the rest of the Hawaiian patriots whom couldn't be there.
Typically, ignorant, cutting remarks made by some U.S. WASP Americans were heard who felt offended that Free Hawaii, protestors against the U.S. waged wars against Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan and Israels invasion and belligerent occupation of Palestine were part of their U.S. national holiday parade. The Hari Krisnas received no better reception as well as those crying out for peace and love. I guess the war-mongering spirit of the U.S.A. permeated with the U.S. American spectators and miilitants.
The activities at Kapiolani Park after the parade was light-hearted and congenial. Free Hawaii, AFCS, vendors, and others were very visual and well-received by thosee attending the event. It should be mentioned that some Hawaii national patriots were at the Iolani Palace for the observation of our national historic event. Don't forget Wednesday, the 19th, to make our presence known at the opening of the "fake"-state legislature. Stand to be counted. Let's see some new faces; the younger generation is more than welcomed to be involved along with the older generation. We are patriots of a proud, unique country. Celebrate whom we are; a Hawaiian National.

Michael e-mailed this important Petition...............please sign:
good effort-done and signed, sent it along..
Begin forwarded message:From: "Ben Wikler - Avaaz.org" <avaaz@avaaz.org>Date: January 17, 2011 2:35:38 PM HSTTo: "lightwav@mac.com" <lightwav@mac.com>Subject: Amazon under threatDear friends,
Brazil's top environmental regulator resigned last week under pressure to allow the hugely destructive Belo Monte Dam Complex, which would scar the Amazon and displace thousands of people. Protect the Amazon, its people, and its species -- sign the petition to Brazil's President Dilma opposing the dam and calling for energy efficiency instead:
Last Wednesday, Brazil's top environmental regulator resigned in refusal to license a project that experts say would be an ecological disaster: the Belo Monte Dam Complex, which would carve a scar bigger than the Panama Canal into the heart of the Amazon.
The mega-dam would flood huge tracts of rainforest and displace thousands of indigenous people. The companies who would profit from the dam have been trying to bulldoze past environmental laws -- and want to break ground within weeks.
The Amazon is a global treasure, and a worldwide outcry is needed now. The resignation could clear the way for the dam's license--or, if enough of us raise our voices, it could mark a turning point against the project. Let's make this a defining moment on the world stage for Brazil's new President Dilma. Sign the emergency petition to Dilma to stop Belo Monte and protect the Amazon -- it will be delivered spectacularly with Avaaz's indigenous partners in Brazil's capital, let's get 300,000 signatures:
https://secure.avaaz.org/en/amazon_under_threat/?vl
Eletronorte, the company who will profit most from Belo Monte, is demanding that the license to start construction be issued even if the project does not meet environmental standards.
Experts and officials who study the proposed dam overwhelmingly reject it as a catastrophe in the making. Abelardo Bayma Azevedo, who stepped down last week as president of Brazil's environmental agency, is not the first resignation caused by pressure to allow Belo Monte; his predecessor stepped down for the same reason last year, as did Brazil's Minister for the Environment -- among other top officials. Now, it's up to us to ensure that these resignations, and decades of protest within Brazil, will not be in vain.
Belo Monte would flood at least 400,000 acres of rainforest, affect hundreds of kilometres of the Xingu river, and displace over 40,000 people, including indigenous communities of 18 different ethnic groups who depend on the Xingu for their subsistence. It is so economically risky that the government has had to turn to public funds for most of the $16 billion investment. And the dam would be one of Brazil's least efficient, operating at only 10% capacity for the dry months from July to October.
The dam's backers argue that it will supply Brazil's growing energy needs. But a far greater, greener, and cheaper supply of energy is available: energy efficiency. A WWF study found that efficiency alone could save the equivalent of 14 Belo Monte dams by 2020. The benefits of a truly green approach would go to everyone, rather than a handful of powerful corporations. But it's only the corporations who hire lobbyists and wield political muscle -- unless enough of us, in the global public, raise our voices, and ensure that Dilma faces a real choice for Brazil's future.
Belo Monte's construction could start as early as February. Brazil's Minister of Energy and Mining, Edson Lobão, says the next license will be approved soon -- we need to stop Belo Monte before the bulldozers move in. Let’s welcome Dilma into the presidency with a massive outcry to do the right thing: stop Belo Monte!
https://secure.avaaz.org/en/amazon_under_threat/?vl
Brazil might be the world's best hope for progress against climate change, and for bringing North and South countries together on the most hopeful common ground. Now, that hope resides in President Dilma. By calling together for her to reject the Belo Monte dam and pursue a better path, we invite her to live up to that opportunity -- and to help build a future that all of us, from the tribes along the Xingu to the grandchildren of today's city dwellers, can be proud of.
With hope,
Ben, Graziela, Alice, Ricken, Rewan, and the whole Avaaz.org team

aloha.
When the U.S. occupied Iraq, it was obligated to administer Iraqi laws not American.
When the U.S. military assisted in taking down Saddam's statute they were about to
place the American flag over its face, but remembered the laws of occupation and stopped!
Same is true here in Hawaii, when the occupation is over the U.S. military will hold a ceremony
to officially turn control back to the Hawaiian Kingdom!
It absolutely matters on who are the first nations people, for only they can ascend the Throne according
to the 1864 Hawaiian constitution, Art 22. Must be an Alii.
People have been placing their names to orginizations without knowing about the 1897 Ku'e petition
against annexing the Hawaiian Islands, if we take part in Kau Inoa it would be going against what
our kupunas did, it would be hurtful.
But every one has a choice, which brings me to right and wrong, if you know your kupuna took part to save our nation would you just say, well that was the past & we got to look forward, the U.S. will never give up Hawaii, or would you support what our kupuna did? I stand with our kupuna!
As far as a Hawaiian national is concerned, they were made up of mix race, the first nations people were
the Kanaka Maoli of first nation full blood people or Kanaka of first nation people with part blood.
Even Alii would be considered a Hawaiian as their nationality.
What is the race of an American? What is the race of a Hawaiian?
As far as the United States, they are clearly occupying the Hawaiian Kingdom.
James Blount appointed to investigate why the Queen turned over her limited authority to the U.S.
President Grover Cleveland in which he concluded that the diplomatic and military representatives
abused their authority that caused the change in government, talking about the event that occurred
on January 17, 1893.
So as a condition to restoration of the Hawaiian Kingdom, U.S. President Cleveland requested that the
Queen grant amnesty to those within the Hawaiian Kingdom (interfering with internal affairs of another nation)
she didn't want to at first but the Queen agreed and signed to on December 18, 1893. This completes the continuity for the existence of the Hawaiian Kingdom.
The State of Hawaii existence comes by way of the Republic of Hawaii who got it from the Provisional Government whose members James Blount also concluded took part in the insurection against the Hawaiian Kingdom and in which the U.S. President asked the Hawaiian Queen to grant amnesty for. There can be no validity found in that chain of authority.
In the opinion of the Supreme Court in Hawaii v. Mankichi, 190 U.S. 197(1903)relying on the descission of U.S. Supreme Court for guidence in which reference was made to the Republic of Hawaii and the 1898 HJR annexation of Hawaii, having no further need to examine or to qualify the authority of the Republic of Hawaii or the 1898 annexation of Hawaii. As explained above, the Republic of Hawaii had no authority from the Hawaiian Kingdom as you know from above.
Alii blood lines are still around, we know some for sure, in fact one of our ohana was the first diplomatic envoy for the Kingdom who gained the recognition of independence of the Hawaiian nation on November 28, 1843, his name was Timoteo Haalilio.
Hawaii had laws under a constitutional government, these laws must be honored by the U.S. for Hawaii just as they did for Iraq.
Hawaii needs a fair shake in this process. Hawaiian nationals including Kanaka Maoli, Kanaka and Alii have need of a resolve.
I have family and friends who work for the State of Hawaii and I have nothing against them, but as to the creation of State of Hawaii there is a huge problem. If anyone can show me that the Queen gave up Hawaii with a willing heart and not under duress and she had a huge celebration to mark that event then I'll give up my support of the kupunas and their 1897 Ku'e petition. Until then I'll resist against the illegal occupation of the U.S. upon Hawaiian soil!
One more thing to think about, if the Queen gave up her authority on January 17, 1893 to the U.S. President and the U.S. failed to honor the December 18, 1893 Executive Agreement of Restoration and that the Provisional Government were made up of members who caused the illegal insurection against the Hawaiian Kingdom, how was any documents notarized in the Kingdom legally?
Take a look at some deeds after that date, some seals are drawn in like a flower, perhaps retroactively made good by the treasonous government after firmly taking control away from the Queen.
Courts are made up of human beings that are subject to making mistakes, I'd like to think all this was a big 118 year mistake, but until they mean sorry from their heart we need to take a stand against the U.S.
If they were really apologetic to the native Hawaiians they would put it into a treaty, not in a House Joint Resolution 103-150 made only Native Hawaiians, and not native Hawaiians, Kanaka Moli, Kanaka, Alii or Hawaiian nationals.

ARTICLE 22. The Crown is hereby permanently confirmed to __________, and to the Heirs of His/Her body lawfully begotten, and to their lawful Descendants in a direct line; failing whom, the Crown shall descend to __________, and the heirs of his/her body, lawfully begotten, and their lawful descendants in a direct line. 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 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; but should there be no such appointment and proclamation, and the Throne should become vacant, then the Cabinet Council, immediately after the occurring of such vacancy, shall cause a meeting of the Legislative Assembly, who shall elect by ballot some native Alii of the Kingdom as Successor to the Throne; and the Successor so elected shall become a new Stirps for a Royal Family; and the succession from the Sovereign thus elected, shall be regulated by the same as the present Royal Family of Hawaii.
The Kingdom heirs are here and the Hawaiian Kingdom with the rightful government will be restored!
Clear title, regarding legitimate legal ownership of land in Hawai`i is a topic quickly becoming an issue in the political and commercial areas.
With more lands being "quiet titled" in the courts with the aid of foreign laws (US and fake state of Hawai`i) illegally imposed against the rightful and legal owners of these lands with a judicial system aiding and abetting in these crimes, it's no wonder developers are eager to cash in big time by building luxury homes for rich foreigners throughout Hawai`i.
To this day, land titles in Hawai`i continue to carry the original royal patent from the Mahele of 1848.
If the US government or fake state of Hawai`i and their citizens rightfully have clear title to these lands, then why hasn't the US patent office replaced the royal patents as was done in the other 49 states?
Answer - Each royal patent has been "adjudicated," making them all a legal decree.When purchasing land, a "warranty deed" is issued instead, not clear title per se.
It's no different than if someone steals your car and attempts to sell it to someone else - they can't convey the "pink slip" to the new owner because they never had it in the first place - they're simply selling stolen property.
That's Why There Is No Clear Title Today To Land In Hawai`i - It's All Legally Still Hawaiian Kingdom Lands.
