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!

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.
