FFREE HAWAII - People join my movement to Free Hawaii
--------------------
Hawaii early inhabitants journeyed throughout the vast Pacific, guided by stars, the rising sun, clouds, birds, wave formation and flashing lights from the water's depth, They touched many lands, including the most isolated land mass in the world - the Hawaii. As seafarers, they continued commerce with cousins of the South Pacific many years after arriving in Hawaii. They had occassional contacts with Japan, Great Turtle Island(today North America) and other Pacific Rim places. Hawaii remained virtually unkown to Europeans until the arrival, in 1778, of James Cook, captain of the British navy.
During the reign of Kamehameha I (1779-1819), Hawaii traded with China, England, the United States and other nations on
a regular basis. On November 28, 1843, Great Britian and France joined in declaration recognizing Hawaii's independence and pledged never to take it as possession. By 1887, Hawaii had treaties and conventions with Belgium, Denmark, France, the German Empire, Great Britain, HongKong, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, New South Wales(today Australia), Portugal, Russia, Samoa, Spain, Tahiti and the United States.
Hawaii sovereignity attacked:
---------------------------------------
On January 16, 1893, American marines landed in peacful Hawaii armed with Gatling guns, Howitzer cannons, carbines and other instruments of war as well as double cartridge belts filled with ammunition. The United States troops marched along the streets of Honolulu, rifles facing Iolani palace, the seats of Hawaii sovereignity.
The following day, resident conspirators numbering eighteen, mostly Americans. sneaked to the back steps of the government building few yards from where the American troops had lodged the night before. There, Henry Cooper, and American lawyer and resident of Hawaii for less than a year, proclaimed that he and seventeen others were now the government of Hawaii. Calling themselves the "provisional government" and selecting Stanford Dole president, they were to exist for the explicit purpose of annexing Hawaii to the United States. Along with minister plenipotentiary John L. Steven, the Americans demanded that Queen Lili' uokalani, the consitutional monarchy of the Hawaiin nation surrender to the Americans. Faced with such threats, the queen eventually capitulated, but not without protest.
Hawaiin Statehood, 1959
--------------------------------------
Finally after three generations of brainwashing, Hawaiians were given the opportunity to be equal Americans. In posing the statehood question so adeptly, the United States government precluded any real self-determination by limiting choice to Hawaii's either remaining a territory of the United States or becoming a state within its union.
The question,
Should Hawaii be free? was never asked. The White Americans living in the Hawaii chosed statehood overwhelmigly. disregarding the voices of native Hawaiin.
Re-emergence As a Sovereign, Independent Nation
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Today, there is a growing vision of Hawaii becoming an independent nation, rejoining the ranks of other nations in the world.
So as you can see the United States has played double standard. While the United States tries to become champion of Human
Rights, Justice and Freedom, look no further than its policy on its own homeground. When the United States tells China
to FREE TIBET AND TAIWAN, it doesn't sees the need for FREE HAWAII. Many of such policies, racism, discrimnation on native Americans has never been published nor told. But the world must know it so we can judge the United States on its own moral and principle. Will the United States going to recognize Hawaii as the free, sovereign, indepenent nation? Only time will tell.
