I’m amazed at how ignorant many Hawaii elected officials are about what’s happening at Pohakuloa. 

It’s an indictment of our elected officials, local news media, and military secrecy about what’s taking place in the center of our island.  We need fundamental change.

Mahalo.

No Lie Can Live Forever! Hawaii Statehood Day!

Tuesday, August 13th, 2024

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!

Protest July 6, 2024 at Pohakuloa Main Gate — Cancel RIMPAC Now & Forever & Stop US/Israel Genocide in Gaza

Saturday, July 6th, 2024

Cancel RIMPAC Now & Forever!  Stop the US/Israel Genocide in Gaza!

      People in the double digits showed up from various parts of the island for a 10 AM till Noon Protest Sat. July 6th at the Pohakuloa Toxic Area (PTA) Main Gate. The focus was: Cancel RIMPAC Now and Forever, and Stop the US/Israel Genocide in Gaza.  Israel is one of 29 countries participating in RIMPAC 2024.  Things were quiet at PTA today (No bombing or shelling), but there were a lot of honks in support of our protest.  News articles say that from Monday, July 8th until Aug 2, expect increasing military jet activity and noise coming to Pohakuloa from 8 AM until 9 PM.  https://bigislandnow.com/2024/07/06/rimpac-to-bring-military-aircraft-training-to-hawaii-island/

     Winds were lite at the PTA main gate today, coming from the west, and our radiation monitor fortunately did not record any spikes above background, for the first time in years during our 2 hour protest.  Usually we record readings several times background, especially when bombing and shelling is going on and the winds are stronger, especially coming from the south.

     A RIMPAC protest will be held Saturday, July 20 from 10 AM till Noon fronting the Kamehameha Statue on Hilo Bayfront. Canceling the RIMPAC War Games Now & Forever will be a Peace victory for all! Send this message to all government officials. Mahalo. 

     A Peace organizing meeting will be held on Monday, July 8th from 6-8 PM at the Keaau Community Center behind the Police station and Health clinic in Keaau.  Come and share your ideas.  Meetings are held on the 2nd and 4th Mondays of the month.  Please come and pass the word.  Following meetings will be Monday, July 22nd and Monday, Aug. 12th.

     Below are a few photos from today’s protest at the PTA Main Gate.

Mahalo to all for standing up — for peace, justice, and aloha ‘aina!
