Please pass the word on this solidarity action for a Free Hawaii — “Hawaii Loa Ku like  kakou” — All Hawaii Stand Together.  Mahalo.

125 Years of U.S. Occupation 

      On January 17, 1893 a coup d’état was carried out against Queen Lili’uokalani and the Hawaiian Kingdom by foreign resident business interests with the assistance of U.S. Marines from the USS Boston. An illegal U.S. occupation of Hawai’i has continued ever since. Contrary to popular belief there never was a Treaty of Annexation. Commemoration ceremonies are scheduled on Jan. 17, 2018 in Honolulu at Iolani Palace. For more information see http://www.onipaakakou.org/

      Today, occupied Hawai’i is home to more than 100 U.S. military installations, a runaway tourist industry and settler population that has turned Hawai’i into a playground for rich land speculators. Nearly 1 in every 2 households can’t cover basic needs.  Native Hawaiians (Kanaka Maoli), who make up 20% of the population, now make up the majority of homeless and 60% of the prison population in their own homeland. The sacred Kanaka Maoli temple — Mauna Kea, is being desecrated and vandalized by scientific development, and 90% of food consumed in Hawai’i is now imported to what was once a 100% food self sufficient society.

Hawaii Plutonium Fallout from Nuclear Tests on Johnston Atoll

Papaikou, Hawaii has the highest level of Plutonium fallout of any site tested globally in this U.S. Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) study published in the prestigious British journal Nature. What a distinction to have! Papaikou appears to be representative of the windward sides of the Hawaiian islands. High rainfall likely brought down the fallout from nuclear tests done at Johnston atoll. Twelve atomic and hydrogen bombs were tested at Johnston atoll, located 900 miles southwest of the Big island. Plutonium has a half-life of 24,000 years. https://www.davistownmuseum.org/cbm/RadxPlutonium.html
