In the article she speaks out strongly against the Akaka bill, which was passed in the US House of Representatives this week, and explains how its real purpose is to confuse, cover-up and legitimize the US takeover of Hawai`i.
We’re pleased to debut a brand new Voices Of Truth featuring Keala as she reveals more about the Akaka bill, what it would do to Hawai`i and what it takes to make an award winning documentary like Noho Hewa actually happen.
So why was the Akaka bill rushed through the US House of Representatives? Why was the language of the bill kept secret until less than 24 hours before it was voted on? And who was managing it all behind the scenes? Find out all this and more this coming Wednesday on Free Hawai`i TV.

The award-winning documentary "Noho Hewa - The Wrongful Occupation Of Hawai`i" has continued to anger, enlighten, provoke and inspire diverse audiences long after its debut.
Filmmaker Anne Keala Kelly contends that the 1893 overthrow of the Hawaiian kingdom affects every aspect of life for native Hawaiians to this day.
Using the backdrop of live-fire military exercises at Makua Valley; the unearthing of ancient Hawaiian burial sites to make way for
luxury homes and discount stores; protests against the Akaka Bill; and the struggles of the homeless, Kelly makes the case that native Hawaiians face systematic obliteration at the hands of an American system that promotes militarism, tourism and overdevelopment.
The film was honored as best documentary at the Hawai`i International Film Festival in late 2008 and last month won a special jury prize at the Festival International Du Film Documentaire Oceanien in Tahiti....

NAME IN THE NEWS
Anne Keala Kelly
The Hawaiian nationalist and filmmaker says the Akaka Bill should be
rejected
By Christine Donnelly
The award-winning documentary "Noho Hewa: The
Wrongful Occupation of Hawaii" has continued to
anger, enlighten, provoke and inspire diverse
audiences long after its debut.
Filmmaker Anne Keala Kelly contends that the 1893
overthrow of the Hawaiian kingdom affects every
aspect of life for native Hawaiians to this day.
Using the backdrop of live-fire military
exercises at Makua Valley; the unearthing of
ancient Hawaiian burial sites to make way for
luxury homes and discount stores; protests
against the Akaka Bill; and the struggles of the
homeless, Kelly makes the case that native
Hawaiians face systematic obliteration at the
hands of an American system that promotes
militarism, tourism and overdevelopment.
The film was honored as best documentary at the
Hawaii International Film Festival in late 2008
and last month won a special jury prize at the
Festival International Du Film Documentaire
Oceanien in Tahiti.
Kelly has attended more than 60 screenings
throughout Hawaii, discussing the film afterward
with thousands of viewers.
"Americans have rights, Hawaiians have kuleana,"
said Kelly, who considers it her personal
responsibility to bring attention to the Hawaiian
independence movement.
Of Hawaiian and Irish ancestry, Kelly was raised
in Southern California, keeping close ties to
family on Oahu and the Big Island. She moved to
Honolulu 10 years ago, after earning a master's
of fine arts in directing from the University of
California-Los Angeles.
Also a prolific writer, she's working on fiction
at the moment, deciding which of two short
stories to turn into a screenplay. "One is a
Hawaiian political comedy, which I need after
"Noho Hewa" because that was the most unfunny
movie I will ever make."
She considers herself lucky to get to the gym,
happy when she's in the ocean. The only thing she
misses about Los Angeles is the movies.
With the Akaka Bill just passed by the U.S. House
and pending in the Senate, Kelly discussed the
idea of native Hawaiians having federal status
akin to an Indian tribe.
QUESTION: So what do you think of the Akaka Bill?
ANSWER: What I think of the Akaka Bill is that
it's the United States government - state and
federal governments - attempting to further
confuse people and lie to people and cover up the
fraudulence of the U.S. presence in Hawaii, the
fact that it's an illegal occupation. ... This is
all a lie that's designed to confuse people and
also to give them the impression that Hawaiians
wanted to be part of the United States and now
acquiesce to being part of the United States, and
in reality the bill's designed to actually
extinguish Hawaiian title to the crown and
government land of the archipelago.
Q: To take resources away from Hawaiians?
A: They're always taking the resources away, for
over 100 years now. But they want to give the
appearance that Hawaiians agree to it. Since
1993, since the apology bill, especially, they've
been moving down this path.
Q: Then why do so many Hawaiians support the
bill? The Office of Hawaiian Affairs does.
A: How many people work at OHA? When you say
Hawaiians support it, so many Hawaiians, what
Hawaiians are you talking about? Nobody has ever
asked us as a people what we want. They have
never, ever come to the Hawaiians. When you go to
a state agency like the Office of Hawaiian
Affairs, that is the state, that is not the
Hawaiian people.
Q: If the Hawaiian people were asked what they
want, what do you think they would say?
A: Here's what I know. I know that when a
question is framed, it's usually framed to elicit
a particular answer. It's about process. It's
about how Hawaiians are able even to contend with
the original question about the Akaka Bill. If we
are going to talk about the Akaka Bill, then we
have to back up and talk about the Apology Bill,
then we have to back up and talk about statehood,
then we have to back up and talk about the
so-called annexation, then we're right back to
the overthrow. The expectation of the non-native
or the American government is that Hawaiians are
going to reach in and have this kind of
decisionmaking process about something like an
Akaka Bill when that's not the only issue here.
The legislation completely tries to distract
people from the real story here, what really has
happened to Hawaiians ... We have to look at all
our issues with America, not just an Akaka Bill.
We have to contend with all of it.
Q: So where do you start? Because (inaction) also
becomes a convenient way to block any progress.
A: But how do you define progress? There is no
progress if the rights of Hawaiians are taken
away in that process. This legislation makes sure
that Hawaiians can't bring land claims to U.S.
courts, that there's no way Hawaiians can hold
the military accountable, that there's no way
Hawaiians - even if they did manage to get a land
base, which they won't - can even have a casino.
This is all about what Hawaiians can't have. This
isn't about what Hawaiians can have. They want to
stuff a few hundred million dollars down our
throats, tell us "Aren't you lucky," and take all
our rights away? Forget it!
Q: Do you think the bill will get through the Senate?
A: That's not even the right question. The
question is "Why are they even trying to put it
through the Senate?" It's just like the treaty of
annexation that certain people in the United
States tried to pass in 1897 that they couldn't
pass; they tried in 1893 also. It should never
have been there. So no wonder it didn't pass. Why
are they even trying to bring it to the Senate?
It shouldn't even be there. It shouldn't exist.
Q: What do you think will happen in Hawaii if the Akaka Bill does pass?
A: It's just a continuation of what the United
States has been doing to Hawaiians for over 100
years. Our lives are not going to get better. And
the thing that I'm most concerned with is the
psychological impact that something like this
will have. I also think that five or 10 or 20
lawyers, some of them Hawaiian and some of them
not, are going to get stinking rich. That's
always what happens. The way I look at Sen.
(Daniel) Inouye is that in a way this is his swan
song. He wants to make sure that his life's work
of militarizing Hawaii is firmly in place. ...
This bill is about containing Hawaiian resistance
and containing Hawaiian sovereignty.
Q: But I've talked to other Hawaiians who speak
just as fervently in support of it, say it would
protect Hawaiian entitlements.
A: Federal aid? You know where they can stick
that, because if we had control of our own land
and resources, we don't need to borrow money from
nobody. We don't need their $70 million in
federal aid. It's like hitting somebody on the
head and then giving them an aspirin and saying
"Now don't you feel better?" This idea of us
having to live off of federal aid, off of the
welfare, the crumbs, that the United States is
going to throw to us, is absurd and insulting.
We're very capable of running our own affairs,
without nonprofits like the Council for Native
Hawaiian Advancement telling us how to do it.
It's the nonprofit industrial complex of the
Hawaiian community that's going to be turned into
a bunch of corporate entities. I promise you that
those people (supporting the bill) are Hawaiians
who are getting something from the government.
And you can't really take those opinions
seriously, because it's a conflict of interest.
Q: So what do you want for Hawaii?
A: I'm just one Hawaiian. But what I hope for,
and what I pray for, every day - because I love
this place - is that it survives, that it
recovers. To see what's being done to it, to see
the place being swallowed whole, is just
soul-crushing. This place is worth saving,
regardless of what flag is waving over the
government buildings. We need a moratorium on the
desecration, no more taking our kupuna out of the
ground. No more! We need a moratorium on forcing
Hawaiians into a situation that makes them
homeless in their homeland. Real estate
overdevelopment needs to stop. I don't ever look
at this just as a nationalist issue. We're forced
to talk about it in terms of the law. We're
forced to talk about it in terms of politics. But
we are never allowed to talk about it in terms of
our humanity. And that's really the only way we
should be discussing the future of any place. Can
we sustain our own humanity? I would hope that
all Hawaiians would just stand up and say, "I'm
Hawaiian. I have a responsibility here." Despite
what's happened to us. Despite what the United
States has done. I have a responsibility to take
care of this place.
Had an awesome day interviewing Office of Hawaiian Affairs Trustee Robert Lindsey Jr., OHA Trustee John Waihe'e IV, and OHA Communications Manager Ed Nishioka, for about 4 1/2 hours. We are trying to create a table for our people that everyone would want to be a part of and revive a "Constitutional Convention Process" that is free and fair from politicians and outside business influences, with the intent to see what the "Hawaiian Subjects" really want. We can only do that if we put everything on the table first. So far, so good. We will be meeting with them, sometime next week. Please stay tuned for daily and evening updates from Hawai'i TV. One more thing, if you want to be a part or be present in these discussions, please feel free to come. We are anticipating that a lot of the U.H Manoa Hawaiian Studies Department Students will be coming and participating to help "End the Prolonged & Beligerent U.S. Occupation in Hawai'i."

The U.S. House of Representatives passed the Akaka Bill on February 23, 2010 by a vote of 245-164.
The latest version of the Akaka Bill can be seen here:
The local B.S. newspapers did not provide a direct link to the source nor did they show how the representatives voted. FULL DISCLOSURE is seriously lacking in Hawai'i where those who lie and/or are dishonest are often rewarded while those who are honest and truthful are often PUNISHED.
What is this teaching THE KIDS? TO LIE.
ANYWAY here is a screen cap of their votes:
You can see the final vote results of the individual representatives here:
Republicans staunchly oppose the Akaka Bill and should continue to do so though their reasons differ from many Hawaiians' reasons. However I do not give a rip what the reasons are. I only care that Republicans
STOP the Akaka Bill.
No I do not want "hearings." One cannot be heard by those who do not LISTEN. One cannot get the truth out of those who LIE. One cannot reason with UNREASONABLE people. More importantly negotiate with people whom my kupuna do NOT trust? Without mutual respect and trust there is NOTHING TO DISCUSS! THANKS BUT NO THANKS. I will pass on the "opportunity" to be "heard" by people who did NOT listen to OUR KUPUNA AND WHO CONTINUE TO NOT LISTEN TO US.
What I want is the Republicans to put an end to the Akaka Bill. They can stop it. So far in the house 160 Republicans voted Nay to the Akaka Bill which is awesome!!!
Hopefully they will strike it down AGAIN in the Senate den pau! Done! No more talking bad about Hawaiians saying racist things about Hawaiians. When they are mean to Hawaiians they are being mean to Hawaiian CHILDREN. I NO KEA ABOUT SOME ADULTS LOL
Fortunately it is not over yet. The bill must still be passed by the Senate where it has run into roadblocks twice previously in the last 10 years before it can go President Obama for his signature. He has explicitly stated that he will sign it. However past behavior is an indication of future behavior so chances are that it will stall in the Senate wholly due to Republicans so hopefully Republicans will STOP the Akaka Bill on the Senate floor once again for the 3rd and FINAL TIME.
Enough already. Pau. Done! COME ON REPUBLICANS!
Ironically most Hawaiians who vote in U.S. elections are Democrats and vote for Democrats and voted for President Obama who WILL sign it if it passes in the Senate. These are very smart people who voted for people prepping to slit our throat and send our keiki to be eaten alive by the wolves in DC. No make sense to me.
Look at how they treated people after Hurricane Katrina. Do you honestly think that I WOULD PUT THE LIVES OF MY NIECES, NEPHEW, AND LITTLEST COUSINS LIKE NALU, HANA, AND HOKULANI IN THEIR HANDS?!?!?!?!!!!
It was destiny that when I came back home I saw someone in the sovereignty movement at the airport and I shook Senator Daniel Akaka's hand another time at the airport then I shook Lt. Gov Duke Aiona's hand in Keaukaha at the Keaukaha Ho'olaulea. I did not want to shake Senator Akaka's hand and my dad called me a traitor for shaking his hand LOL but I had to because I want MY good mana to overtake his pilau mana so I shook his hand NOT because I admire him. Instead it was a MANA THING. Senator Akaka seemed very slimy, small, and weak. He looked as though he is dying.
Unfortunately in Hawai'i "Republican" is like a four-letter word and twisted to mean "rich people." They are the ones who are helping to stop the Akaka Bill. Their reasons differ. SO WHAT?!?! Masochists. Like with sex. Pain brings pleasure so they continue to abuse themselves. Enough already!!!
Anyway come on REPUBLICANS!!! STOP the Akaka Bill and SHUT IT DOWN once and FOR ALL.
Latahs!

That is why we are asking and calling humanity to participate in this humanitarian and moral effort, to end the long night of "racism," "genocide," "crimes against humanity, and the "hate," that has been going on in Hawai'i and toward's it's people for well over a century now.

The U.S. House could vote today on a new version of the Akaka bill, after Hawai`i's congressional delegation opted to move forward without the support of Gov. Linda Lingle....
...Lingle, in a statement, said her opposition comes with a "heavy heart," because she has backed federal recognition for a decade.
"I do not believe such a structure, of two completely different sets of rules — one for 'governmental' activities of the Native Hawaiian governing entity and its officers and employees, and one for everyone else — makes sense for Hawai`i," she said....
...State Attorney General Mark Bennett called the new version "a formula for strife and litigation, not for negotiation and reconciliation."

Had an unbelievable interview with Uncle "Bumpy" Kanahele yesterday morning. The recorded interview of him, was well over 3 hours. We talked about everything from his upbringing, to his time serving prison, to what he is trying to do today, which is to set up a fair process called the "Constitutional Convention."
Stay tuned, as we will be editing this very informative and inspiring interview with one of the first Hawaiian "Pioneer's" & "Patriot's of the "Hawaiian Independence Movement." The goal and objective of course is to "End the United States Occupation In Hawai'i."
Aloha, Hawai'i TV Fans. Just getting ready to head out to Waimanalo in about 2 hours from now to interview one of the pioneers of the movement in Hawai'i since the 1970's, Uncle "Bumpy Kanahele." Really looking forwad to it myself. We also have an interview with one of the trustee's from the Office of Hawaiian Affairs, John Waihe'e IV at 3:00PM, as well. Both interview's should be very interesting and should reveal and uncover a lot of messages and signs for us all, as the ultimate aim is to "End the United States Corporation, United States Military, and United States Interest," in the Independent, Sovereign, and Neutral Country of Hawai'i Nei.
Don't forget to not only watch "Hawai'i TV's daily Video's," daily, but we also need all of you to continue to bring up more questions, comments, inquiries, request, and suggestions, as well.
