No Lie Can Live Forever! Hawaii Statehood Day!

Hawaii Fake Statehood Day!

                                           Hawaii Statehood Day or Admission Day, as it is also called, is a holiday in the State of Hawaii. It is a day celebrated annually on the third Friday in August when Hawaii allegedly became the 50th State of the United States. In 2024, that date of celebration is Friday, August 16. The only problem is Hawaii Statehood Day is an illegal fraud, repeated over and over for more than 50 years.

We need to learn the true history of Hawaii., not the fake history proclaimed by the US Empire. Here are some important historical truths.  No Lie Can Live Forever!

1. Hawaii was recognized as an independent nation by the Family of Nations in 1843.

2. In 1887, a Bayonet Constitution was forced upon Hawaii King David Kalakaua by US Sugar Barons that gave exclusive use of Pearl Harbor to the US military and took away many Hawaiian rights.

3. In 1893, these same Sugar Barons, with the direct assistance of US military troops overthrew the Hawaiian government of Queen Lili’uokalani.

4. In 1898, the US declared Hawaii was annexed to the US. The truth is that the annexation of Hawaii never legally happened. Annexation requires a signed treaty and approval by a 2/3 vote of the US Senate. No treaty of annexation was ever signed and only a resolution was passed in the US.

5. Since Hawaii was never legally annexed, it never legally became a territory of the US, and therefore never legally could become a state of the US.

     The truth is Hawaii continues to be an illegally occupied Independent Nation by the US Empire. It first occurred on behalf of US Sugar barons and the US military. The Sugar plantations are gone elsewhere to exploit people and land, but many of the sugar baron descendants continue to illegally occupy large portions of Hawaiian land. The US military has expanded its presence to include more than 100 military installations and has contaminated much of the land and water with a wide range of toxins. The military has seized large portions of Hawaiian lands by Presidential and governor executive orders, and state land leases. Here on Hawaii Island a Presidential executive order seized 84,000 acres of Hawaiian land at Pohakuloa, and the military leased 23,000 additional acres at Pohakuloa from the Fake state for 65 years. All for a total cost of $1.00 for the 65 years. That lease and other $1 military leases on Oahu are up for renewal. Pray tell, what will Fake state officials do?

     The Sugar plantations have been replaced by a corporate-controlled tourist industry and high-tech barons now occupying large acreages of Hawaiian lands. Larry Ellison of Oracle Corp controls 98% of Lanai, Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook has a giant compound on Kauai that includes a dozen buildings, at least 30 bedrooms and bathrooms, 11 treehouses connected by rope bridges, and even a tunnel system that leads to a 5000-square foot underground bunker. Jeff Bezos of Amazon has put down stakes in Maui, Michael Dell of Dell Computers and Mark Beneoff of Sales Force are on Hawaii Island.

     Today Native Hawaiians are being pushed out of their homeland, priced out of corporate and high-tech controlled paradise. 15,000 Native Hawaiians are leaving Hawaii annually for the US continent. There are now more Hawaiians living in Los Vegas, LA, etc than in Hawaii itself. SHAMEFUL!

Is Nuclear War on the Horizon? Aug. 16, 2024 Hilo Peace vigil leaflet

Is Nuclear War on the Horizon?

The world is growing increasingly tense on several fronts where by accident or design a wider war could escalate very quickly to an all-out global nuclear holocaust. The Middle East, Ukraine/NATO Russia, the US and China are all possible escalating flash points. To understand what a nuclear war could mean for the planet and human civilization, view the 20-minute video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U9BoeyKjZBw We all need to understand the devastating consequences of a nuclear war so we can work towards a world free of nuclear weapons.

Beware of “The Samson Option” – Israel’s Plan to Nuke Its Opponents

      Here are some resources for further information: • The International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interna… • The United Nations Office for Disarmament Affairs (UNODA): https://disarmament.unoda.org/ • The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists: https://thebulletin.org/ Together, we can prevent the unthinkable from becoming reality. Share this video notes above and raise awareness about the dangers of nuclear war.

     Hawaii is one of the most militarized places on the planet with over 100 US military installations. Oahu is the Headquarters for the US Indo-Pacific Military Command that covers more than half the earth, Oahu includes major US military Force bases, such as the Naval base at Pearl Harbor, Army Garrison at Schofield Barracks, and the Kaneohe Marine Corps Base. Major military weapons are stored at West Loch of Pearl Harbor.

     The 133,000-acre Pohakuloa Training Area (PTA) in the center of Hawaii Island is a training ground for war, including nuclear war, by all branches of the US military. The base has been contaminated with radiation from uranium spotting rounds for nuclear weapon systems fired there. B-52 and B-2 strategic nuclear bombers from Louisiana, Missouri, and Guam fly non-stop training missions to practice bombing at PTA. Join the movement to De-Militarize Hawaii and the world.

Peace is a Victory for All!

1 . Mourn all victims of violence. 2. Reject violence & war as solutions. 3. Defend civil liberties.  4. Oppose all discrimination: anti-Islamic, anti-Semitic, anti-Hawaiian, anti-Black, anti-Asian, anti-Russian, anti-LGBTQ, etc. 5. Seek peace through peaceful means and work for justice in Hawai`i and around the world.

Hawaiian Sovereignty Restoration Day!

Tuesday, July 30th, 2024

Lā Ho`iho`i Ea

Hawaiian Sovereignty Restoration Day!

     Hawaiian Sovereignty Restoration Day marks July 31, 1843, when British Admiral Richard Thomas ordered the Union Jack lowered and the Hawaiian Kingdom flag hoisted above Honolulu, ending five months of British occupation and restoring the sovereignty of the Hawaiian Kingdom government to legitimate power.

     In 2024, we are still waiting, 131 years and counting, for an end to the US illegal occupation of Hawaii, following the US military/sugar baron coup to overthrow the government of Queen Lili’uokalani in 1893.  Meanwhile, as a positive step in the restoration process, let us act to end all US military leases of Hawaiian lands at Pohakuloa on Hawaii Island, on Oahu, etc.  Also, restore Hawaii County’s historic Nuclear-Free Law (Ordinance #665) passed in 1981, but amended in 1984 to exempt the US military.  Remove the US military exemption (#84-39) Now!  Hawaii is one of the most militarized places on the planet. Hawaii, the land of aloha, has been transformed under US military occupation, into the US military Indo-Pacific command center and training ground for Nuclear War and the destruction of the entire planet.

     RIMPAC 2024, the world’s largest international war exercise concludes on August 2 after over a month. The US invited 28 other countries, including Israel, to come and bomb Hawaii as part of maintaining US global domination. Forty surface ships, 3 submarines, 14 national land forces, over 150 aircraft, and more than 25,000 personnel participated. RIMPAC involved the sinking of ships (and harm to marine life) by bombing and shelling in Hawaiian waters, onshore military beach assault landings, bombing, shelling, and troop training at Pohakuloa and other areas, as well as human trafficking with military troupes entering tourist areas. Canceling future RIMPAC War Games, and ending the US illegal occupation of Hawaii Now & Forever will be a Justice, Peace, and climate victory for all!

Press Release 7/22/24: Bibi Netanyahu impersonator to make an appearance at the Hawaii County Bldg Wed. July 24, 2024

Tuesday, July 23rd, 2024

Press Release 7/22/24

Israel Prime Minister –War Criminal Benjamin “Bibi” Netanyahu impersonator to make an appearance at the Hawaii County Building in Hilo on Wednesday, July 24, 2024, at approximately 11 AM

On that same day, the real Bibi war criminal is scheduled to speak in Washington, DC before Congress unless pressure mounts to cancel his talk,  Some Congresspeople, including Hawaii’s senator Brian Schatz are boycotting his talk.  (Good for Brian) See the story here. https://spectrumlocalnews.com/…/schatz-will-boycott… <https://spectrumlocalnews.com/…/schatz-will-boycott…>

On Wednesday, around 11 AM the Bibi impersonator will appear in a jail suite and be led around the county building by a rope with others carrying signs saying Stop the Genocide, Free Palestine, Cancel RIMPAC, etc. We welcome others to join this message for an immediate Ceasefire and peace in the Middle East.

On July 19, 2024, the UN World Court (ICJ) declared that Israel’s continued presence in the Occupied Palestinian Territory “is unlawful,” and that “all states are under an obligation not to recognize the decades-long occupation.”  Under international law, an occupying power like Israel cannot claim a right to defend itself in occupied territory.  (See Hawaii Tribune-Herald, Saturday, July 20, 2024 page A-3)

Stop the US/Israel Genocide in Gaza!
