people came out to learn more about the film that they had heard much about through traditional media coverage such as USA Today, Newsweek.com, The Honolulu

Something so small, yet having so large an impact it would disqualify the vast majority who enter to compete.
What is it? Who’s behind it? And what were they thinking?
Find out about the new stance that decides who can dance this coming Wednesday on Free Hawai`i TV.
Mahalo to everyone who let us know how both moved and upset you were watching “Struggle For Our Nation,” our interview with Andre Perez at `Iolani Palace this last January 17th that features footage of state police attempting to interrupt and disrupt Hawaiian cultural practices.
It’s a perfect microcosm of what the illegal US takeover of Hawai`i is really all about.
Haven’t seen it yet? Want to show it to `ohana and friends? You can see it all this week on Hawai`i’s award winning Voices Of Truth – One-On-One With Hawai`i’s Future.
MONDAY, April 19th At 6:30 PM – Maui – Akaku, Channel 53

“Struggle For Our Nation – A Visit With Andre Perez”
It happened at `Iolani Palace on the day Hawai`i Nationals annually observe the illegal overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom and honor their Queen. During cultural and religious observances, law enforcement officers arrived, attempting to disrupt things. As Andre Perez explains the ceremonial significance, tensions escalate by the minute and emotions run high. Were there arrests? Did patriots stand their ground? See for yourself in this amazing story of people who love their country and Queen - Watch It Here
Voices Of Truth interviews those creating a better future for Hawai`i to discover what made them go from armchair observers to active participants. We hope you'll be inspired to do the same.
In addition to the markets outside of Hawai`i we’ve announced over the last few weeks, Voices Of Truth will also soon be airing in Kansas as well as Altoona and Johnson, Pennsylvania. Check your local listings.

I passed the first portion of the brokers exam. When they told me I passed I was so overwhelmed because it was THAT tough. I thought to myself, "Wow... I am Hawaiian and I PASSED!" LOL It was soooo tough. Tougher than I can describe.
My niece Mahina.
She is the highest scoring kindergardener on a standardized test for all kindergardeners throughout the history of Virginia.
She currently has a 4.2 GPA.
I highly doubt that she would be able to achieve this in Hawai'i only because some people in the public schools in Hawai'i crap on Hawaiian kids. Perhaps in charter schools she and other local kids would be able to be nurtured AND inspired like the flowers that they are. Keiki o ka aina.
In Hawai'i some people tell a child what they CAN'T do. Few tell a child what they CAN DO.
JUST DO IT. I posted a pic of me wearing a shirt that says that at my Facebook.
Her abstract self-portrait is on the top left:
Keep in mind that she is ONLY 15 LMAO
She and I get along very well. In fact she LOVES to talk to me because I understand her. She is not a typical child either. Never was. I would discuss very complex topics and she would understand me LOL
Her abstract self-portrait epitomizes this because she has many layers... and is diverse like a rainbow. You can also see the duality like of the Hawaiian World and the Haole World.
Oh and my nephew Kekaimalu got a perfect score on the Talented and Gifted Test that they give to kids LOL I doubt that this would be possible in Hawai'i because got some pilau people in Hawai'i who like TRY keep da Hawaiian down das why! But no work LOL....
Laaaaaatahhhs!

USA covert and overt activities led to the invasion of the Hawaiian Kingdom and immediately recognized its complicitor's proclamation without the people's knowledge.
Without US military intervention and USA complicity, the USA puppet Provisional Government would not have lasted for more than an hour.
Using that backing, they created the Republic of Hawai`i against the people's wishes.
All legal attempts to annex Hawai`i to the USA failed because the people overwhelmly protested and sent their Ku'e Petitions to Washington D.C.
It was ignored by the pro-annexationists and complicitors.
In covering up the hoax, Congress passed the Newlands Resolution falsly declaring the majority wished for the annexation of Hawai`i without a lawful treaty.
That's how Hawai`i became unlawfully annexed even according to US laws.
