“Messenger” by Sudden Rush and Amy Hanaialii Gilliom
Reviewing the Kingdom of Hawaii’s History shows the ongoing criminal moves by a belligerent, pirate based, imperialistic nation the U.S. supported by England and the bankers, J.P. Morgan, Bank of England, etc.
The 1493 Papal Bulls, combined with the 1822 Secret Treaty of Verona signed by Austria, France, Russia, Prussia, the U.S., England, and the Vatican consenting to move the people on earth towards a One World Order/New World Order are at the basis of the business of Wars.
The 1822 Secret Treaty of Verona signors complements the Vatican for maintaining OBEDIENCE amongst the people. The Vatican, therefore, are ‘tools’ used to subdue, keep in control through religion, pacify, maintain the “sheep-like” behavior of their followers.
The Vatican also claims ties to all Christian Churches and are associates of those Churches.
Other activities of control over the populations are through the Masons/ Freemasons including the Mormon Church; Hollywood through movies, television utilizing subliminal messages; music; video games, etc.
Chronological Review of History since Dethroning Hawaii’s Queen in 1893:
1893 – Premeditation of assuming a neutral, non violent nation, Hawaiian Kingdom/Kingdom of Hawaii, was made through the standing orders of Congress via the NEW YORK TIMES article, “PEARL HARBOR COALING STATION.; IMPERATIVE NECESSITY THAT THE UNITED STATES TAKE POSSESSION.
January 9, 1893,Wednesday
Page 9, 1176 words
WASHINGTON, Jan. 8. — The United States, through the inactivity of the Navy Department and the indifference of the State Department, is likely to lose the only coaling station of which it stands in real need. Nothing has been done since 1884, when the Pearl Harbor site in the Hawaiian Islands became available, beyond a number of surveys which have abundantly demonstrated the excellence of this harbor as a site for a naval station. [ END OF FIRST PARAGRAPH ]

Note: the article was printed on January 9, 1893, the U.S. military left their Warship Boston two days before dethroning the Queen on January 17, 1893. The breach of treaty by the U.S., illegal acts creating duress upon the Queen and subjects/citizens continues as an obstacle, legal obstacles for the U.S. in criminally claiming the Hawaiian Islands as theirs.
1893 Panic of 1893 in the U.S. President Cleveland made a loan from the J.P. MORGAN N.M. Rothchild’s Syndicate, which was formed in 1870. Suspicion was on President Cleveland due to his allowance of the Nation’s money being in absolute control by private interests, MORGAN, Belmont, and the Rothchilds. The country was shocked by the huge profit that was rendered to the private interest.
U.S. was in a depression. U.S. had FIXED assets and bankrupt.
Queen Liliuokalani wrongfully “overthrown” but actually dethroned by American businessmen supported by the United States. Queen Liliuokalani’s deceased husband was a MASON, her brother in law Archibald Cleghorn was MASON, her hanai/adopted sister’s husband was Banker Charles Reed Bishop, a MASON. (Masons/Freemasons are set in place to break down Monarchy governments worldwide. Masons/Freemasons are a part of the soldiers of the New World Order/ One World Order goals.)
U. S. was in a depression. U.S. had FIXED assets and bankrupt.
Queen Liliuokalani maintained that the U.S. BREACHED THE LAW OF NATIONS. She also stated that the Provisional government made up of 3,000 Americans plus paid supporters, some Hawaiians/kanaka maoli included, was neither a de facto NOR a de jure government but an entity.
Queen Liliuokalani and 40,000 subjects of the Kingdom of Hawaii were called “N*I*G*G*E*R*S” by U.S. Congress, newspapermen, etc.
The Provisional Government backed by the U.S. STOLE the Kingdom of Hawaii’s treasuries monies, gold bullions, gold coins, etc. and with assisted the U.S. in FINANCING WARS —Spanish American War, World War I, and World War II, etc.
Three countries questioned the Provisional governments violations. They were: SPAIN, JAPAN and GERMANY.
OPPOSITIONS by FRANKLIN PRATT married to Kekaaniau, an heir of Kamehameha due to her ancestor being a half brother of Kamehameha was made.
Notes: Franklin Seaver Pratt’s sister was married to Charles Brewer II who associated with fellow PIRATES OF THE PACIFIC, Charles Reed Bishop and Peter Cushman Jones (son: Edwin Austin Jones).
Charles Reed Bishop was a banker, MASON, sugar plantation owner, investor in the Pacific Cable Company. Charles Reed Bishop owed the Kingdom of Hawaii millions of dollars due to loans from the government. The loans remained unpaid and only $179,000+ was left in the treasury with gold bullions, gold coins, silver, fees due, etc. Finally, Charles Reed Bishop was married to Bernice Pauahi who Americans claimed were the last of the Kamehameha’s.
Note: The claim was based on FRAUD. Kamehameha’s descendants existed then and exist now. The KSBE- Kamehameha Schools Bishop Estates/Bernice Pauahi Bishop Estates/ Kamehameha Schools is based on criminal deviance, fraud, corruption, perpetuation of lies, and genocide, etc., as with the other Sovereign trusts: King Lunalilo, Queen Kapiolani, Queen Liliuokalani/Liliuokalani Trust, etc.
Charles Reed Bishop supported the five (5) Commissioners of the Provisional entity in San Francisco.
President Cleveland denounced the Annexation of Hawaii. President Cleveland was the first cousin of James Hyde Pratt. Albany New York banker whose son in Hawaii named John Scott Boyd Pratt married Sarah Dickson. She was Gerritt Parmele Judd’s daughter, twin of Charles Hasting’s Judd, sister of Albert Francis Judd, Supreme Court Justice of the Kingdom of Hawaii who participated, supported those who dethroned Queen Liliuokalani.
Henry A. P. Carter wrote to John Scott Boyd Pratt, New York Banker, to interest President Cleveland in the Annexation of Hawaii.
Albert S. Willis returned to Hawaii to speak to Queen Liliuokalani about her reinstatement providing the revolutionists/Conspirators/
TERRORISTS would be given a general amnesty.
Provisional entity, PIRATES OF THE PACIFIC, Sanford B. Dole and others refused to comply. He further stated that the U.S. had no rights to interfere.
President Cleveland did nothing.
The U.S. Senate conducted an independent investigation in Washington with affidavits or testimonies from the following:
O.P. Emerson; Peter C. Jones; Z.S. Spalding; W. D. Alexander, Lt. Lucien Young; E. K. Moore; L. G. Hobbs; W.T. Swinburne; Lt. Laird; Albert Francis Judd; W.C. Wilder; J.H. soper; A.S. Wilcox; C. Bolte; George No. Wilcox; John Emmeluth; C.L. Carter; F.W. McChesney; W.B. Oleson; J.A. McCandless; Minister J. L. Stevens; J F. MORGAN; William R. Castle; L. A. Thurston; Dewitt Coffman; M. Stelker; William s. Bowen; F. W. Reeder; Charles L. Macarthur; Adm. George Belknap; N. B. Delameter; Francis R. Day; Rev. R.R. Hoes; W.E. Simpson; N. Ludlow; and S.N. Castle.
Queen Liliuokalani stated that they were “Conspirators against my government.” (Note: updated term for Conspirators is TERRORISTS)
MASONS were a secret society with one of the goals to BREAK DOWN MONARCHIAL GOVERNMENTS worldwide.
1898 SPANISH AMERICAN WAR- the Spanish were the arm of the Vatican. After the U.S. won, it appears the U.S. became the new “CRUSADER” for the Vatican who allows the “plundering upon barbarous countries”.
Note: Claims, comments toward “barbaric/barbarous” Hawaiians were made by Americans in Hawaii.
1900 GEORGE MACY, American businessmen, investor in the MACY STORE California began working as the Head of the Internal Revenue for the U.S. in Hawaii.
Note: The MACY name claims to be a descendant of Kamehameha according to the Probate uncovered at the Archives. FRAUD/CONSPIRACY issues appears to be of issue. Research incomplete.
1917 Queen Liliuokalani was approached by the Protestant Church minister to have the Jurisdiction of their Church be granted to the U.S. She did.
The Protestant minister claimed they could not find the Queen’s baptismal records.
Note: It appears the claim that the Queen was a barbaric/ “barbarous” nation was a claim attempted due to the Christian International Laws.
That failed because Queen Liliuokalani attended the Royal School, a Missionary School, a record of Mormon baptism was also kept.
Queen Liliuokalani was sent a letter from an attorney KENNEDY who stated that he would be able to help her out of the dilemma. Queen Liliuokalani dismissed ALL of her American Attorneys and basically stepped out of the Jurisdiction of the U.S. Courts and returned to her Sovereign status.
Queen Liliuokalani recorded that she did not get paid by the U.S.
MORGAN, head of a Presidential Committee claimed the Queen to be a barbaric person and assumed/presumed the transaction made to the President at the time of the Americans in Hawaii, the Provisional Government, was to be assumed by the President.
Queen Liliuokalani died. The President that Queen Liliuokalani had contact with DIED previously.
The LEAGUE OF NATIONS was formed.
Previously strapped for monies, the MORGAN bankers began making large investments.
MORGAN bankers invested monies for the U.S. and Great Britain, financed the Steel industry, etc.
1921 – The COUNCIL OF FOREIGN RELATIONS formed with U.S. and Great Britain’s members.
A meeting was held at the “HAROLD PRATT HOUSE at 58 East 68th Street in New York, the former mansion of the PRATT family, close friends of the Rockefellers. Soon afterwards, the day-to-day administration was taken over by Colonel House and his associates, including the Rockefellers and, particularly, J>P> MORGAN. The CFR’s founding president was John W. Davis, J>P> MORGAN’s personal attorney; the founding vice-president was Paul Gravath, from a law firm representing MORGAN; and the council’s first chairman was the MORGAN partner, Russell Leffingwell”.The Council on Foreign Relations and the Royal Institute of International Affairs are the same organisation, working on different sides of the Atlantic to carry out the same goals and agenda. Their members are in leading positions in government, including the Presidency, banking, business, education, military and the media.”
One of the goals of the CFR according to former Admiral Chester Ward, a former US Judge Advocate General of the Navy “”submergence of US sovereignty and national independence into an all-powerful one-world government”.
1942 – THE UNITED NATIONS was formed. Fifty nations pledged themselves “to employ full resources gainst the Axis powers, not to make a separate peace, etc.” in Washington. They signed a charter, which was written at the United Nations Conference on International Organization.
1944 – Representatives of the U.S., Great Britain, Russia and China met, planned, proposed and formulated to “deal with world peace and security” through a general international organization.
1945 A conference “United Nations Conference on International Organization was held from April 25 to June 26, 1945 in San Francisco. The charter was based on the proposals of Dumbarton Oaks Conference, a mansion in Washington, D.C.
The U.S. became INTERdependent with the UNITED NATIONS. The U.S. continues to be an arm of the Vatican “CRUSADER” validating Christian International Laws which plunders upon “barbarous/barbaric” countries.
1963 President John F. Kennedy was assasinated. He was in Hawaii meeting with the Mayors of the states. He informed everyone that the President would no longer appoint Mayors and the people would vote.
It was 46 years since the death of Queen Liliuokalani. It is interesting to note that the F.B.I./Federal Bureau of Investigations does a history check of only 45 years. A KENNEDY had notified Queen Liliuokalani that he would represent her.
It appears the Kennedy’s knew about the UNRESOLVED issues in Hawaii having to do with the bankers, American businessmen, and Civil Rights issues because Hawaii’s Queen was called “N*I*G*G*E*R*” along with others of color such as Martin Luther King, Jr.
President Kennedy was assasinated in Texas. Interestingly, Texas is the location where the sugar plantation owners in Hawaii moved to assume and occupy large tracts of land belonging to the Mexicans and backed by the U.S. government.
(President’s brother Robert Kennedy was also assasinated. Martin Luther King, Jr. a Civil Rights Leader was assasinated as well.)
1980′s Israel was looked as a “strategic asset” by both Israel and the U.S. “Israel’s primary role was to lie low while Washington forged its anti-Iraqi ties with Saudi Arabia, Egypt and even Syria. The president and his secretary of state, eager to deny Saddam Hussein’s call for linking a solution to the gulf crisis to that of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, seemed intent on keeping Israel at an arm’s length.
1981 June 7. Israel bombed Iraq’s reactor site and stopped construction.
1990 March ” U.S. and British customs officials seized a shipment of capacitors en route to Iraq. Capacitors are used as triggers for nuclear bombs.”
March 10. “Iraqi revolutionary court convicts Farzad Bazoft, Iraniana-born British free-lance correspondent, of espionage after he visits site of military complex explosion; Bazoft is sentenced to death; British nurse who drove Bazoft to site is sentenced to 15 years in prison. Iraq ignores international pleas for clemency and hangs Bazoft on March 15. Britain recalls its ambassador from Baghdad.”
April 2. “Iraqi President Saddam Hussein announces that Iraq posseses advanced chemical weapons and threatens to destroy half of Israel if it launches preemptive strike against Iraqi weapons facilities.”
July 3. “Iranian and Iraqi foreign ministers meet in Geneva for first direct talks since August 1988 conclusion of Iran-Iraq War; no progress is announced, but leaders of both Iraq and Iran express optimism about permanent peace settlement in separate speeches delivered 7/17.”
July 17. “Iraqi President Saddam Hussein delivers speech accusing Arab Persian Gulf nations of “plot” to hold down oil prices. Hussein sends letter to Arab League 7/18 charging Kuwait with stealing oil from disputed Rumaila oilfield straddling Kuwaiti-Iraqi border; Iraqi Foreign Minister Tariq Aziz demands Iraq’s $30 billion debt to Arab gulf neighbors be written off. Aziz travels to Cairo for talks with President Mubarak 7/22; they are joined by Jordan’s King Hussein 7/23. Mubarak 7/24 visits Kuwait, Iraq and Saudi Arabia, 7/25 announces Iraqi and Kuwaiti agreement to hold talks in Jidda, Saudi Arabia. At 7/25 meeting with U.S. Ambassador April Glaspie in Baghdad, Saddam threatens Kuwait and U.S. Iraq masses estimated 100,000 troops along Kuwaiti border; Jidda talks break down 8/01 after single 2-hour session.”
Aug. 2. “Iraqi army invades and conquers Kuwait; Sheik Jabir flees to Saudi Arabia. U.S. President Bush 8/2 calls invasion “naked aggression,” issues executive orders halting trade with Iraq and freezing Iraqi and Kuwaiti assets in U.S.; initially says U.S. military intervention is not under considration, but after meeting with British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher 8/32 in Aspen, Colorado, refuses to rule out “any options”. USSR 8/2 suspends deliveries of military supplies to Iraq, calls for withdrawal from Kuwait. UN Security Council 8/2 votes unaminously to condemn invasion and demand Iraqi withdrawal. France and Britain freeze Iraqi and Kuwaiti assets in their countries. Secretary of State. Baker and Soviet Foreign Minister Eduard Shevardnadze 8/3 issue joint statement condemning invasion. President Bush 8/3 says “integrity of Saudi Arabia” is “vital interest” for U.S. Fourteen of 21 members of Arab League, meeting in Cairo, 8/3 pass resolution condemning “Iraqi aggression”. EC imposes trade sanctions on Iraq 8/4. Japan bans imports of Iraqi and Kuwaiti oil 8/5.
Aug. 6. “UN Security Council votes 13-0, with Yemen and Cuba abstaining, to impose mandatory economic sanctions on Iraq.” U.S. Defense Secretary Richard B. Cheney visits Saudi Arabia for talks with King Fahd 8/6; Fahd requests protection of Saudi Arabia by U.S. troops and aircraft; deployment of U.S. troops to Saudi Arabia (“Operation Desert Shield”) is ordered by Bush 8/6; 2,300 U.S. paratroopers”etc.”
Iraq was a country of 18 million people.
“The Soviet Union provided the Iraqis with the biggest share of military equipment. The Iraqi Army was organized on the Soiet model and equipped by the U.S.S.R. The T-72 main battle tank, which was the heart of the Iraqi forces, was the Soviet Union’s second-best tank. The Irai Air Force flew a number of Soviet MiG-29 fighter planes. The Iraqi Scud missiles that were fired at Israel and Saudi Arabia were an eary Soviet type officially called SS-1, “surface-to-surface missile-1.” The name Scud was the NATO code name for this Soviet missile.”
“The French were the second most important supplier. The best fighter plane in the Iraqi Air Force was the French-made Mirage F-1. Many of these were flown to Iran during the war and were impounded. These planes were armed with Exocet missiles, capable of inflicting serious wounds on warships. Exocets could also be launched from the patrol boats of the Iraqi Navy.”
“A number of other countries provide parts of the arsenal. China had sold Iraq tanks, armored personnel carriers, and a missile called Silkworm. A German company provided the expertise to build a chemical weapons plant. There were even reports that the Iraqi had American-made Stinger missiles passed on to them by sources in Afghanistan.”
“None of these weapons is cheap, so Iraq needed financial assistance to purchase them. They got it from a variety of sources. The U.S. guaranteed about $400 million in loans for food. This freed up money to buy arms. Saudi Arabia provided financial assistance while Iraq fought Iran. During the same period, Kuwait loaned the Iraqis over $6 billion.”
1991 Iraq was defeated after a 100 hour war, even though Saddam Hussein promised “the mother of all battles”.
2001 – September 11. Rockefeller owned Twin Towers collapsed after aircraft armed by U.S. CIA trained Alcaida personnel and innocents/expendables slam into the former Standard Oil Company now EXXON Oil Companies buildings.
Osama Bin Ladin, Saddam Hussein, and others became the target called Terrorists by Oil Investor President George W. Bush, also a Mason/Freemason perpetuating the goals of his father former President George Bush coaching him into continued Wars against the Middle East for access, piracy(ies) of OIL disregarding People of Color, and viewing them as “Useless, Needless Eaters”, “Terrorists”, etc.
Calls for a review was recently made by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Tuesday in Tehran “who said last month that the terrorist attacks in the United States on Sept. 11, 2001, were “a big fabrication,” wrote to the United Nations secretary general, Ban Ki-moon, on Tuesday to ask him to open an investigation into the events of that day.” click here=1&sq=911%20&st=cse
2003 Iraq was inspected for Weapons of Mass destruction. Missiles and others were destroyed at the time of the United Nations Inspectors.

Depleted Uranium expert Leuren Moret: “Population is a political problem. The extreme secrecy surrounding the takeover of nuclear weapons, NASA and the space program and the development of numerous bio-weapons labs is a threat to civil society, especially in the hands of the military and corporations.
The fascist application of all three of these programs can be used to achieve established U.S. government depopulation policy goals, which may eliminate 2 billion of the world’s existing population through war, famine, disease and any other methods necessary.
Two excellent examples of existing U.S. depopulation policy are, first, the long-term impact on the civilian population from Agent Orange in Vietnam, where the Rockefellers built oil refineries and aluminum plants during the Vietnam War. The second is the permanent contamination of the Middle East and Central Asia with depleted uranium, which, unfortunately, will destroy the genetic future of the populations living in those regions and will also have a global effect already reflected in increases in infant mortality reported in the U.S., Europe, and the UK”http://www.cyberspaceorbit.com/kissy.html

2010 – Washington named Iraq, Iran, and North Korea as the axis of evil. Meaning the plans for perpetual Wars is at hand. Inducing potential victims (includes innocents in our Hawaiian Islands due to the criminal use of depleted uranium/DU, etc.) to surrender their right to self-defense under threat of nuclear annihilation.

Summary
Iraq bombed mercilessly. It was not a WAR but a breach in contract from Saddam Hussein and the United Nations. The bill collectors was the United States a documente PREDATORY NATION.
INNOCENTS as with the other wars died needlessly. OIL WAS AND IS THE GOAL. (See backgrounds of the U.S. President and advisors/members of his staff). See issues of the UNITED NATIONS and others at website:
http://myweb.ecomplanet.com/GORA8037 especially see John Nelson’s legal research regarding Americans as SLAVES, U.S. INTERdependent with the UNITED NATIONS whose goal is ONE WORLD ORDER, etc.
CONCLUSION – based on the above, there were no WMD/Weapons of Mass Destruction for much has been previously destroyed with the UNITED NATIONS inspectors observing as reported on the internet, and media.
In our Hawaiian Islands
The U.S. is viewed as a belligerent occupier, supported by the military which has historically acted in an aggressive manner with the intent to claim lands, monies, resources from a friendly, neutral nation, who holds hostage the innocent people of our Hawaiian archipelago utilizing weapons of mass destruction for firing nuclear weapons/DU/depleted uranium, target practice and claims to defend a nation(s) who has criminally maneuvered, created wars against innocents, is bankrupt, cannot Treaty or have a Convention with non-bloods of our Royal families, and fail to protect the lives and safety of their own citizenry, including the aboriginal land owners who legally owns the Hawaiian archipelago.
Since the admission of crimes in Public Law 103-150 signed by U.S. President William Clinton, it is and remains unacceptable to maintain any form of treaty, convention, pact with a neutral, non-violent nation under duress, stress, coercion, and usurpation.
An eviction notice was served. Time to leave is documented as December 2010.
The entity State of Hawaii are not related to our families. The Trustees of the Bishop Estates/KSBE/Kamehameha Schools Bishop Estates, stock owners of more than half of Goldman-Sachs currently under scrutiny by OBAMA, et. als., are not related to us.
Queen Liliuokalani maintained that the Provisional government, supported through conspiracies, piracy(ies) by the U.S. who breached the Law of Nations were neither de jure nor de facto and an entity. Meaning, the entity is a foreign corporation supported by the U.S. military which continues today in all parts of the world through the former Standard Oil Company which evolved into EXXON Corporation headed by the 911 Twin Tower Owners the Rockefellers who also gifted the land for the purpose of the One World Order/New World Order government, the United Nations.
In reviewing the problematic issues and exploring the evidence as to Why the U.S. Is a Predatory Nation, the return of the original Law of Nations must be made, the American citizens move to impeach all who follow the One World Order/New World Order government including U.S. President Obama, those in Congress, set up another Federal Reserve Bank which cannot be sold as stocks, remove all laws set up to ‘protect the lives and safety of corporations abroad’, retrieve the U.S. military from further ‘protecting the lives and properties of corporations’, close many of the thousands of military bases abroad, including those in the Hawaiian Islands. Military Power supports Corporations greed, the true Puppeteers since 1893 dethronement of Queen Liliuokalani from a neutral, non-violent nation, a friendly nation, a recognized Monarchy based government which was criminally usurped by bankrupt, premeditations of Corporate thieves, bankers, sugar planters, American businessmen supported by the bankrupt nations U.S., England and the Morgan and the Bank of England.
The U.S. breached the Laws of Nations, they set up the League of Nations, formed the CFR/Council of Foreign Relations with England, and the bankers (Morgan, etc.), and created the United Nations with funds from the Rockefellers, et. als. /Corporations. The Rockefellers are the permanent heads of EXXON Oil Corporation, an umbrella corporations over many others, which evolved from the Standard Oil Company which was charged with maintaining a Monopoly, then moved into foreign territory supported by Mason/Freemason lawyers in defending them and gaining support from Mason/Freemason Congress to assist with military protection overseas
while keeping the truth from their citizens.
The controls on the citizens by the Vatican/Churches, Hollywood, TV, media, etc. must be recognized as diversions by all.
Americans will need to support of laws opposing Corporations outside of the U.S. will further curtail the use of supporting U.S. militaries, lessen the thousands of U.S. bases abroad. For further information, see: Prof. Jules Dufour 2007 article at http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=5564
Lastly, Queen Liliuokalani prophesied that if the U.S. fails to make corrections (because the true landowners/heirs exist and maintain a neutral, non-violent nation, Monarchy based government as with many of the nations which were wrongfully plundered upon – Spain, Japan, Germany, Iraq, etc.), the U.S. will fall apart.

A BRIEF CONDENSED HISTORY OF OUR HAWAIIAN/KANAKA MAOLI

PEOPLE by Amelia Kuulei Gora (2001) (updated 2010) One of Kamehameha's descendants, a Royal Person not subject to the law(s)

The following was written with the purpose of showing the early contact period, the Pre-Monarchy Period through the Monarchy Period up till Kamehameha V. (Other Periods have been discussed and has been presented on various boards on this and other other forums as well.)

Number 1.

Utilization of Aged Documents for Land, Money, Water, etc. Ongoing Since 1863 Disregarding the True Heirs

Note: See the Department of Commerce Records for the Hamakua Sugar Company or Kohala Sugar case files for the frauds uncovered. Also see documents filed in the Affidavit/Lien No. 96-177455 on 12/17/96 (281 pages). Note that entity Territory of Hawaii - President appointed Governor Poindexter utilized Lot Kamehameha's signature in 1935....nearly a 50 years After he died!

KOHALA SUGAR, the predecessors of Hamakua Mill/Hamakua Sugar was started by the missionaries utilizing documents of association signed by Minister of Interior, Lot Kamehameha, in 1863.

Kamehameha IV � Alexander Liholiho was still in command at the time.

Note: The documents found by good researchers includes CW Ashford's notes for it was he who perpetuated the lies and criminal activities affecting the Crown Lands, water rights, etc.

CW Ashford and his brother Volney Ashford were English subjects/dual citizens. Remember Volney Ashford was arrested with 20 others, along with Robert Wilcox the cousin of King David Kalakaua and Queen Liliuokalani. Volney Ashford and Robert Wilcox were tried for treason during Queen Liliuokalani's period or approximately six (6) months before Congress gave the order to assume the Hawaiian Kingdom......read Books 1 and 2 above/ see below:

Number 2.

PILGRIMS DESCENDANTS IN OUR MIDST

The Protestant Missionaries, the KOHALA SUGAR and other eventual plantations operating under the documents of 1863, were descendants of the English Pilgrims who had historically created a climate of hate, animosity, greed towards the indigenous peoples, the Indians.

B A C K G R O U N D

The English Pilgrims and 50 years later, Captain James Cook left the location called Plymouth, England. The English Pilgrims landing in the Americas, named their already inhabited site Plymouth, Massachussetts.

A statement made by a well-known Protestant minister sets the climate of the times:

�The woods were cleared of those pernicious creatures (Indians) to make room for a better growth.�
Two well known ministers, Increase and Cotton Mather (father and son), wrote more than 450+ books. They were descendants of Richard Mather a minister suspended from the Church of England�s ministry and moved to Massachussetts where he created conflicts in the church.

**** A Look at the Wampaog Indians � King Phillip�s War ****

The Wampaog tribe was nearly wiped out, many prisoners were taken into slavery.
King Phillip, the high chief was decapitated, his head was placed on a stick in the Massachussetts town square, on display till as late as 1700.

**** A Look at the Witchhunts of Massachussetts ****

The following books witten by the influential Protestant ministers moved the masses of people to witch hunts, hangings, killings, cruelty and punishment to many innocent people.

These books were: ESSAY FOR THE RECORDING OF ILLUSTRIOUS PROVIDENCES; CASES OF CONSCIENCE CONCERNING EVIL SPIRITS AND OTHERS. These books led the people to believe that WITCHES WERE IN THE LEAGUE OF SATAN.

**** The Printing Presses of the Early Missionaries or Pilgrim Descendants ****

With the proud missionaries and their printing presses, it afforded news of all kinds to be dispersed to all �learned men or cultured peoples� including Plymouth, England, the former homes of the Pilgrims who had formed a Pact/Mayflower Compact, forming a new kind of government, a government in the already inhabited America�s.

RETALIATION AFTER CAPTAIN JAMES COOK�S DEATH

Captain James Cook GRABBED kapu alii/chief Kalniopuu by the shoulder.

Cook failed to respect the cultural norms of the Hawaiian Society and was killed. No one was allowed to touch the kapu alii/chief and suffered the consequences, along with his men on shore.

After Captain James Cook and four of his men were slain, the English retaliated similar to the works of the English Pilgrim/missionaries on the Indians.

In Captain Cook�s men�s diaries/journals, they constantly referred to the kanaka maoli as �Indians�. (Notice the Protestant pilgrims influence.)

Three of our kanaka maoli alii/chief�s were decapitated, their heads were hung on the bows of the ship for all to see.

Hundreds of kanaka maoli were shot, many in their backs, fire was set to their homes.

(Notice the Protestant pilgrims influence � see the previous entries of the Wampaog Indians and the slain Indians leader King Phillip.)

Thousands of kanaka maoli were killed, due to the disease infested men from Captain Cook�s ships.

They had frequented many island shores, such as TAHITI, COOK ISLANDS and others leaving disease trails behind them.

The doctor knew that 66 were afflicted.

Note: It was suggested by some that the crew passed the disease among themselves.

The men knew they were afflicted/infected and yet blamed the kanaka maoli for being the cause of the later outbreaks.

The Protestant Missionaries in later years, accused the kanaka maoli as being the cause.

What about the depraved English sailors aching for sexual, bodily pleasures, which ultimately produced another human?

Note: Some of the babies were deformed, some died soon after child birth. The same outcome due to the introduction of Depleted Uranium/DU in the environment by Americans, English, et. als. has occurred or continues today.

Masses of cells clumped together is also a horrific outcome of Depleted Uranium/DU births.

It could be said that the English depraved lot is also applicable towards the description of the military tainted with DNA mutating genes affecting innocents in the World today.

Were whites exempt from the carnal evils preached by whites and caused by only people of color?

Meanwhile, thousands, hundreds of thousands of unborn kanaka maoli babies, women and men died.

Number 3. CATHOLICS IN HAWAII Kamehameha friend/consultant was name Paul Marin, or Paulo Manini, a Spaniard who baptized more than 300 chiefs into the Catholic religion.

Kamehameha (k) instructed his alii/chiefs to set aside the kapu system because he was a makaula/a seer and prophesied the dangers if the Hawaiian religion were continued.

Kamehameha began the Hawaiian Monarchy government in 1810.

Kamehameha treatied with Aetearoa (New Zealand) and the Samoan Islands and the three nations were recognized as the Pacific Empire.

Kamehameha died on May 18, 1819.

Kaahumanu (w), one of his wives, became the Kuhina Nui.

Her Cousin Kalanimoku (k) became the assistant and kahu of Kamehameha�s son through another wife Keopuolani (w).

Kamehameha and Keopuolani (w) had Liholiho, Kauikeouli, Nahienaena, and six (6) unnamed others.

Note: The setting aside of the kapu system left the Hawaiian Society in a fragile condition, a period of Anomie � social norms absent.

This was the perfect period for social change, a time for Opportunists to sell their bibles, preach their bibles, etc.

The main concern of Kamehameha was the ceasing of the ancient Kapu system with �barbaric� rituals which could have been the cause of the demise of the whole of the kanaka maoli society.

Kamehameha was a makaula, a seer, who operated partly with spiritual confidence aside from his physical confidence.

Due to the affects of the Papal Bull issues by the Pope in 1493 and the thrust towards all world civilizations with the claims of delineating the uncivilized vs. the civilized peoples, with intentions of destroying, plundering, and assuming lands, resources, etc. belonging to those suspected as being barbaric, etc., the rationale of our ancestor Kamehameha can be seen.

The Papal Bull was recently set aside after ongoing protests by aboriginal peoples which included kanaka maoli and American Indians.

Kalanimoku�s (k) mother had been baptized a Catholic and had requested for her family to follow.

Kalanimoku (k) whose wives included Akahi (w), my ancestor, and his brother Boki (k) were baptized Catholics aboard the French ship L�URANIE.

Note: Kalanimoku (k), Boki (k) had siblings: Wahinepio (w), Manono Nui (w), Keoua (k) (my ancestor), et. als.

Kamehameha II � Liholiho (k) wanted to be baptized also but chose not to because of stepmother Kaahumanu (w) the appointed Kuhina Nui�s temper.

Number 4. PROTESTANTS/PILGRIMS DESCENDANTS INFLUENCE The First (1st) Company of American Protestant Missionaries sponsored by the American Board of Foreign Missions (ABFM) arrived in Hawaii on the THADDEUS at Kailua, Hawaii.

The American missionaries introduced the concept of Western marriages.

Their names are as follows: Rev. Hiram Bingham and wife Sybil Mosely Daniel Chamberlain and wife Jerusha Thomas Holman, M>D> and wife, Lucy Ruggles Elisha Loomis and wife, Maria Theresa Sartwell Samuel Ruggles and wife, Nancy Wells Rev. Asa Thurston and wife, Lucy Goodale Rev. Samuel Whitney and wife Mercy Partridge Three Hawaiian helpers: Thomas Hopu William Kaniu John Honolii

Note: The Missionaries were Mercenaries/American Mercenaries. It appears that Daniel Chamberlain is one of the ancestors of Daniel Akaka who pushes the Akaka Bill today, set in place to defraud, pirate assets, lands, resources, wealth of our kanaka maoli. Daniel Akaka is also a descendant of treasonous person, conspirator Thomas Akaka who worked with Dr. Mott-Smith, Lorrin Thurston, et. als. in Washington D.C. planning the wrongful, criminal dethronement of our Queen in 1892.

On April 27, 1823, the Second (2nd) Company of American Protestant Missionaries arrived from New England. They arrived on the ship THAMES captained by Reuben Clasby. The missionaries were the following: Rev. Artemas Bishop and wife Elizabeth E. Abraham Blatchley, M. amnd wife Jemima Marvin Levi Chamberlain and wife, Maria Patton Rev. James Ely and wife, Louisa Everest Rev. Joseph Goodrich and wife, Martha Barnes Rev. William Richards and wife, Clarissa Lyman Rev. Charles Samuel Stewart and wife Harriet Bradford Tiffany Miss Betsy Stockton Tahitian: Stephen Popohe Hawaiians: William Kamooula Richard Kalaioulu Kupelii

These mercenaries for the United States, armed with bibles, greed, jealousy, animosities, etc. quickly moved to encourage the kanaka maoli in joining their cause. They were opportunists who entered a Society which was in a state of anomie � unstable, flux, grasping at all religions to substitute one that was in place for hundreds/thousands of years.

These mercenaries(backed by their government: the United States who also paid for their move, etc.) were operating from a slave-master society along with validation given to them through the Papal Bulls of 1493 by the Vatican to plunder upon �barbarous societies�.

The Papal Bulls of 1493 allowed killing of peoples, most of whom were all peoples of color.

On November 27, 1823, Kamehameha II � Liholiho (k) and company sailed for England.

Kauikeaouli was named as heir apparent under Kaahumanu�s regency.

On July 8, 1824, Kamamalu (w) died, six days later, on July 14, 1824 her husband, Kamehameha II - Liholiho (k) died.

Both were afflicted with the measles, died in England and their bodies were returned unaccompanied by John Rives, Kamehameha�s II�s childhood playmate who was a Catholic.

(Kamehameha II had seven wives. One was named Pali who married my great great grandfather.)

Kaahumanu (w) who took care of Liholiho (k) was so angry that it appears that the Protestant Missionaries saw it as an opportunity and took advantage of the situation.

Catholic Chiefs were tortured, imprisoned, put to hard labor. All Catholics were punished.

---------------------------------- Summary:

The information has been placed on the internet due to requests by one of many new friends, namely Mutassdes. The above information covers part of the missionary/mercenary period of Hawaii and the United States revealing the similarities of labeling Hawaiian/ kanaka maoli "Indians" by Americans and Brittish.

Significantly, all countries will see some of the issues when exploring each time period with the missionaries/mercenaries in their homelands as well.

The United States government maintains that they will "protect the lives, and property of their own" actually means that Americans outside of the United States, once investing in foreign soil is also investing as private investors in foreign lands due to the taxes, etc. due to the United States.

As with out ancestors and the Great Mahele/Land Division period, Kamehameha III/King Kamehameha III, foreigners were given "freehold" paperwork, less than "allodial" paperwork.

Americans (and others including British subjects/dual citizens, et. als.) then rewrote the meanings, destroyed old books that has the true definitions and proceeded to accommodate and deviate by helping themselves through devious manipulations of paperwork, legalities, etc.

Although the United States and others tried to write history as Hawaii being barbaric, that charge could not be maintained due to the activities uncovered in conspiracies, deviance, FRAUD, criminal manipulations via the paper trails which exists in Monarchial and other such governments.

FRAUD vitiates all claims, all contracts, which also covers all the bases for the many, excessive amount of reasons why the UNITED NATIONS can and must cease to exist.

A formation of a new entity or return to the Law of Nations must be made for the purpose of ongoing respect to each country knowing that the United States has indeed set everyone up based on FRAUD, CONSPIRACIES, DEVIANCE and as documented by Queen Liliuokalani in 1893 has BREACHED THE LAW of NATIONS.

The continued survival of all ANCIENT nations, countries, societies must recognize the importance of the LAW of NATIONS versus the manipulations and maneuvers by United States etals who maintains the documented charge of BREACHES by Hawaii's Queen Liliuokalani, Kingdom of Hawaii, a Monarchy government turned Constitutional Monarchy.

The Kings bloodlines EXIST, Kamehameha's descendants are Royal Persons and NOT SUBJECT TO THE LAWS.

The Sovereigns, namely King Kalakaua, bloodlines and heirs exist and much to the despair, despair of the entity calling themselves the State of Hawaii with documented OPPOSITION and wrongfully backed by the United States with ongoing and unresolved issues affecting ALL NATIONS today.

Oppositions to War, financed at the expense of the Kingdom of Hawaii and our Kamehameha Families, Royals Families is UNACCEPTABLE.

It is with ongoing hope and prayers that these efforts via the Internet are indeed purposeful and useful in maintaining the continued safety from harm by those who make BUSINESS OF WAR and set their goals on PLUNDERING UPON INNOCENTS for greed, power, animosities towards all people of color, etc.........It is imperative that our kanaka maoli document that the United States is indeed a terrorist nation, a nation supporting genocide activities in our Hawaiian Islands through the premeditation moves by Congress, the U.S. President Benjamin Harrison, and other U.S. Presidents perpetuating the crimes of the past....It is imperative that the two (2) issues: 1) terrorist nation/terror nation and 2) genocide activities ongoing be documented in the World Courts and added to the Sandanistas who have already documented the U.S.(and partner in crime England, the Morgan bankers, etc.) as a terrorist/terroristic/terror and genocide activist, etc. nation ................aloha nui loa.

Amnesty International botches blame for North Korea’s crumbling healthcare

“Economic sanctions are, at their core, a war against public health.”
–The New England Journal of Medicine

By Stephen Gowans

If we recognize that “economic sanctions are, at their core, a war against public health” and acknowledge, as a former US president has, that North Korea is “the most sanctioned nation in the world,” it is difficult not to draw the obvious conclusion: that the crumbling of North Korea’s healthcare system is due to sanctions. How is it, then, that a new Amnesty International report blames Pyongyang’s “failed or counterproductive” policies, while saying not a word about sanctions?

The real story on North Korea and its healthcare

By Stephen Gowans

Perhaps, the real story about North Korean healthcare isn’t the challenges it faces, or the systematic efforts of the United States to make it collapse, but the fact that it hasn’t collapsed despite these challenges, and has managed to earn the praise of the WHO as the envy of many developing nations.

Depleted Uranium

Ms. Moore,

While I cannot answer your question about how you can make the U.S. Army change its manner of testing, I will try to recap the status of the two NRC processes at play with respect to the U.S. Army in Hawaii:

Although you were not a party to the licensing proceeding that you, Mr. Harp, and I have been discussing via e-mail, the e-mails that you have sent throughout that process were seen and considered, for whatever action was appropriate, by the licensing staff. As I related to Mr. Harp, the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board’s initial decision is currently under appeal with the Commission. We do not know when a decision will be rendered.

Mr. Harp also filed a petition requesting that the NRC take enforcement action against the U.S. Army. This is 10 CFR 2.206 petition (the regulation can be found here: http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/cfr/part002/part002-0206.html

). The NRC staff is still considering this petition and the finalized director’s decision on Mr. Harp’s request will address whether enforcement action will proceed.

I hope this helps,

Kimberly

Aloha Kimberly,

I have appreciated your response to Isaac’s concerns as his interest in having the army be accountable to accurate information are the same concerns of many of us who are at risk.

My question is, where does this go from here? None of us feel that the testing is being done properly. How can we make it so?

Sincerely,

Aloha Kimberly,

Thank you so very much for your very thorough explanation!

Yes, the NRC hearing process is extremely difficult to understand, especially when it comes to establishing standing. I need to make a few points before ending this thread of communication.

The Army prefers to use a 5 micron filter pore size to monitor the air for DU because airborne DU particles of the size captured in a 5 micron filter are quite heavy to remain airborne for any significant distance. The appropriate filter pore size for air monitoring is .45 (45/100) micron or smaller. If the Army used the appropriate filters perhaps folks like myself wouldn't be sitting for months waiting on an appeal because standing would have been established during oral arguments.

I have come to the opinion that it appears that what we have here is a cooperative effort to provide uranium enrichment facilities a means of turning DU, a liability, into an asset that can be sold to the military. The military is taking advantage of DU to create weapons far superior to all others to carry out the undeniable United States effort towards global dominance.

I sit here asking myself, what is the point of being the dominant party on a planet that will be iunnhabitable because the very weapons that assisted the dominant party has contaminated the planet for billions of years? For a country that is a mere baby compared to many others, including Hawaii, it is so sad that the baby's greed for power and control has gotten so far out of hand that the baby will do almost anything to get it's way.

I hope the day comes when all persons involved in this process from the NRC and the Army have an opportunity to visit Hawaii island, specifically the Pohakuloa military training area when the wind is blowing clouds of dust off of the training area and across our island. Perhaps then the NRC and the Army will understand our concern regarding ingesting DU particulate matter through inhalation. The world knows that DU is dangerous but the user, the US military, and regulator, the NRC seem purposefully ignorant to this fact.

Very Sincerely,

Isaac Harp

Dear Mr. Harp,

You asked who the “presiding officer” is and to answer that, under the regulation 10 C.F.R. § 2.341 that I quoted to you in a previous email, the “presiding officer” was the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board that you appeared in front of back in January (Administrative Judges Hawkens, Baratta, and Kennedy). As I explained in a previous email, the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board is the NRC’s independent trial-level adjudicatory body. On February 24, 2010, that Board (aka, the “presiding officer”) released a decision that denied your hearing request for failure to establish standing. You appealed the Board’s February 24th decision. That appeal, per our regulations, is currently being considered by the Commission. The Commission is the NRC’s appellate body.

As Emile Julian explained to you in his July 7th email, he cannot advise you on the timing of your appeal due to a number of different factors. Because Brett Klukan and I are the attorneys for the NRC staff and were parties to the proceeding, we are separate from the Commission. Therefore, we have the same information as the other parties have (meaning that you, me and Mr. Klukan representing the Staff, and the U.S. Army are all in the same position regarding the amount of information we have about the status of the appeal). Mr. Julian, who works for the Secretary of the Commission, informed all the parties that he does not know the timing of your appeal.

I know that this is a lot of information and that the NRC’s hearing process can sometimes be difficult to understand. The NRC’s public webpage has a number of resources for helping members of the public better understand our procedures. Here are some links that might assist you:

Dear Mr. Harp,

In response to your questions:

(1)    No. Under the rules of 10 C.F.R. § 2.341(e), neither the filing nor the granting of a petition for review (i.e., an appeal such as yours) stays the effect of the decision or action of the presiding officer, unless the Commission orders otherwise. Therefore, the NRC staff will continue to review the Army’s application to possess depleted uranium at two sites in Hawaii—Schofield Barracks on Oahu and Pohakuloa Training Area on the Big Island of Hawaii—and make its decisions to grant or deny the license according to its normal procedures.

(2)    No response necessary because the answer to question number one is no.

(3)    Although no response is necessary to this because the answer to question number one is no, the Army is required to submit separate license applications for the facilities it has identified as falling into the category of facilities possessing licensable quantities of DU: Fort Benning, Georgia; Fort Carson, Colorado; Fort Campbell, Kentucky; Fort Hood, Texas; Fort Lewis, Washington; Fort Knox, Kentucky; and Fort Riley, Kansas.

I hope this has answered your questions,

Aloha Emile,

Mahalo (Thank you) for trying to clarify the situation. I have a couple of other questions that you might be able to assist me with.

1) Am I correct in assuming that while my appeal remains under review by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission that the Army will not receive a Depleted Uranium Possession License for the Hawaii sites?

2) If the response to question number 1 above is YES, does this apply to all locations listed under the Army's application for an NRC Possession Only License, or does this apply to the Hawaii locations only?

3) If the response to question number 2 above is that it applies to Hawaii locations only, will the Army be required to submit a new application to the NRC for a Depleted Uranium Possession Only License for the non-Hawaii locations listed on their current application?

Mahalo Nui Loa! (Thank You Very Much!)

Hi Mr. Harp,

Before answering your original e-mail I consulted with Commission advisors. It is difficult to advise you on the timing of a specific appeal (each appeal is to the Commission itself [the five Commissioners] sitting as an appellate body) because there are a number of factors, such as the number and complexity of issues on appeal, the number of appeals under review at any given time by the Commission as well as the Commission’s total workload.

I wish I could be more certain in my response, but the fact is that any time provided could change due to the factors I mentioned or unforeseen events that could require Commission’s attention.

Your patience is certainly appreciated.

Emile

Aloha Emile,

It's been 4-months since I submitted my appeal so could you possibly share with me what the usual duration is on appeals to rulings made by the Atomic Licensing and Safety Board Judges? 4-months seems like an extraodinarily long appeal review process.

Ms. Moore,

While I cannot answer your question about how you can make the U.S. Army change its manner of testing, I will try to recap the status of the two NRC processes at play with respect to the U.S. Army in Hawaii:

Although you were not a party to the licensing proceeding that you, Mr. Harp, and I have been discussing via e-mail, the e-mails that you have sent throughout that process were seen and considered, for whatever action was appropriate, by the licensing staff. As I related to Mr. Harp, the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board’s initial decision is currently under appeal with the Commission. We do not know when a decision will be rendered.

Mr. Harp also filed a petition requesting that the NRC take enforcement action against the U.S. Army. This is 10 CFR 2.206 petition (the regulation can be found here: http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/cfr/part002/part002-0206.html

). The NRC staff is still considering this petition and the finalized director’s decision on Mr. Harp’s request will address whether enforcement action will proceed.

I hope this helps,
Kimberly

Aloha Kimberly,

I have appreciated your response to Isaac’s concerns as his interest in having the army be accountable to accurate information are the same concerns of many of us who are at risk.

My question is, where does this go from here? None of us feel that the testing is being done properly. How can we make it so?

Aloha Kimberly,

Thank you so very much for your very thorough explanation!

Yes, the NRC hearing process is extremely difficult to understand, especially when it comes to establishing standing. I need to make a few points before ending this thread of communication.

The Army prefers to use a 5 micron filter pore size to monitor the air for DU because airborne DU particles of the size captured in a 5 micron filter are quite heavy to remain airborne for any significant distance. The appropriate filter pore size for air monitoring is .45 (45/100) micron or smaller. If the Army used the appropriate filters perhaps folks like myself wouldn't be sitting for months waiting on an appeal because standing would have been established during oral arguments.

I have come to the opinion that it appears that what we have here is a cooperative effort to provide uranium enrichment facilities a means of turning DU, a liability, into an asset that can be sold to the military. The military is taking advantage of DU to create weapons far superior to all others to carry out the undeniable United States effort towards global dominance.

I sit here asking myself, what is the point of being the dominant party on a planet that will be iunnhabitable because the very weapons that assisted the dominant party has contaminated the planet for billions of years? For a country that is a mere baby compared to many others, including Hawaii, it is so sad that the baby's greed for power and control has gotten so far out of hand that the baby will do almost anything to get it's way.

I hope the day comes when all persons involved in this process from the NRC and the Army have an opportunity to visit Hawaii island, specifically the Pohakuloa military training area when the wind is blowing clouds of dust off of the training area and across our island. Perhaps then the NRC and the Army will understand our concern regarding ingesting DU particulate matter through inhalation. The world knows that DU is dangerous but the user, the US military, and regulator, the NRC seem purposefully ignorant to this fact.

Very Sincerely,

Isaac Harp

Dear Mr. Harp,

You asked who the “presiding officer” is and to answer that, under the regulation 10 C.F.R. § 2.341 that I quoted to you in a previous email, the “presiding officer” was the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board that you appeared in front of back in January (Administrative Judges Hawkens, Baratta, and Kennedy). As I explained in a previous email, the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board is the NRC’s independent trial-level adjudicatory body. On February 24, 2010, that Board (aka, the “presiding officer”) released a decision that denied your hearing request for failure to establish standing. You appealed the Board’s February 24th decision. That appeal, per our regulations, is currently being considered by the Commission. The Commission is the NRC’s appellate body.

As Emile Julian explained to you in his July 7th email, he cannot advise you on the timing of your appeal due to a number of different factors. Because Brett Klukan and I are the attorneys for the NRC staff and were parties to the proceeding, we are separate from the Commission. Therefore, we have the same information as the other parties have (meaning that you, me and Mr. Klukan representing the Staff, and the U.S. Army are all in the same position regarding the amount of information we have about the status of the appeal). Mr. Julian, who works for the Secretary of the Commission, informed all the parties that he does not know the timing of your appeal.

I know that this is a lot of information and that the NRC’s hearing process can sometimes be difficult to understand. The NRC’s public webpage has a number of resources for helping members of the public better understand our procedures. Here are some links that might assist you:

Dear Mr. Harp,

In response to your questions:

(1)    No. Under the rules of 10 C.F.R. § 2.341(e), neither the filing nor the granting of a petition for review (i.e., an appeal such as yours) stays the effect of the decision or action of the presiding officer, unless the Commission orders otherwise. Therefore, the NRC staff will continue to review the Army’s application to possess depleted uranium at two sites in Hawaii—Schofield Barracks on Oahu and Pohakuloa Training Area on the Big Island of Hawaii—and make its decisions to grant or deny the license according to its normal procedures.

(2)    No response necessary because the answer to question number one is no.

(3)    Although no response is necessary to this because the answer to question number one is no, the Army is required to submit separate license applications for the facilities it has identified as falling into the category of facilities possessing licensable quantities of DU: Fort Benning, Georgia; Fort Carson, Colorado; Fort Campbell, Kentucky; Fort Hood, Texas; Fort Lewis, Washington; Fort Knox, Kentucky; and Fort Riley, Kansas.

I hope this has answered your questions,

Aloha Emile,

Mahalo (Thank you) for trying to clarify the situation. I have a couple of other questions that you might be able to assist me with.

1) Am I correct in assuming that while my appeal remains under review by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission that the Army will not receive a Depleted Uranium Possession License for the Hawaii sites?

2) If the response to question number 1 above is YES, does this apply to all locations listed under the Army's application for an NRC Possession Only License, or does this apply to the Hawaii locations only?

3) If the response to question number 2 above is that it applies to Hawaii locations only, will the Army be required to submit a new application to the NRC for a Depleted Uranium Possession Only License for the non-Hawaii locations listed on their current application?

Mahalo Nui Loa! (Thank You Very Much!)

CHAFFEE LATE CHIEF-OF-STAFP, UNITED STATES ARMY To THE AUTHOR: Hail! The Valor of Ignorance!! AFTER careful reading of the manuscript, we believe that when it is given publication it will greatly interest public officials, National and State, as well as the mass of intelligent citizens in private life, who have not hitherto had arranged for them a series of pictures equal in importance to the collection that is to be found in the twenty- one chapters of this book. We do not know of any work in military literature published in the United States more deserving the attention of men who study the history of the United States and the Science of War than this The Valor of Ignorance. And, as the government of the United States is "Of the people, for the people, and by the people," it is quite in order to invite xi INTRODUCTION citizens who control in military matters of the na- tion, as they do in other important national affairs, to "know thyself." The popular belief that the United States is free of opportunities for invasion is all "tommy rot," if allowable to use an expression that we think more apt for our purpose than elegant in style. Briefly, and to the point no nation offers more numerous opportunities for invasion by a foreign nation than does the United States whenever cause therefor is sufficiently great to induce preparations by any other nation that will beat aside our resistance on the sea. The world is a grand stage whereon are many players. In the game of cards called "poker," the straight flush, headed by the ace, is occasionally held by one player. It wins. In the course of time no one knows when or how soon, the family of na- tions may get to playing at cards, and beyond the sea, perhaps, will be found a "full hand" against our three "aces" the Navy, Coast fortifications, and the Militia. Our mobile Army is so ridiculously small in the World's War game that it amounts to nothing better than a discard! What will the Militia do under circumstances when, in the game of War, as in the game of poker, there is a call for show of hands the very time in the game when " I. O. U." will not have the value of coin? Rush into the jaws of death? Let all who believe in the value of Militia for war xii INTRODUCTION turn to the preface you have chosen for Volume II. We quote it here, to save the trouble of doing so : "Regular troops alone are equal to the exigencies of modern ^war, as well for defence as offence, and when a substitute is attempted, it must prove illusory and ruinous. " No Militia will ever acquire the habits necessary to resist a regular force. The firmness requisite for the real business of fighting is only to be attained by constant course of discipline and service. "I have never yet been a witness to a single in- stance that can justify a different opinion, and it is most earnestly to be wished that the liberties of America may no longer be trusted, in a material degree, to so precarious a defence. "WASHINGTON." It is with no lack of appreciation of the military enthusiasm and skin-deep experience which the organized Militia of the country has that we quote this passage from Washington, for every little effort helps. But who does not know that the sentiment for cohesion that enables the Militia organizations to " keep in the swim " is chiefly the social sort rather than the sterner sentiment duty to the Nation? So, as Washington's observation had reference par- ticularly to the condition of soldiery that results from a levy of volunteers, under our present system of raising armies for war purposes, we are justified xiii INTRODUCTION in saying that his words are as true to-day as when penned. They were true then and will be true until the time when the author of the sentiment shall be no longer affectionately regarded as a man who would not deceive his countrymen; as one who wisely advised of future dangers out of his great experience and his true appreciation of the natures of men. We do not find that Washington was an advocate of coast-defence fortifications to anything like the fad of to-day. The few he had were useful then, just as the many we have now are useful, to divert the enemy to wayside landings not very hard to find then, nor impossible to find now. So when the enemy attempts to invade the United States he will land, for such is the power of nations now for the offensive, unless the Almighty who hath power greater than he to control the waves of the sea opposes relentlessly his efforts; and when that time comes, as come it may, nothing short of mobile armies, trained to discipline in service, can prevent an enemy's occupation of lines of supply and, as a result of such occupation, quick capitulation of any city of first rank in the United States, plus its fortified places; this, too, the fate of any such city in the world. Why, therefore, divert more millions of money to ineffectual use when we have enough coast-defence works now ? Possibly one excuse for further construction may be, as was said by a military genius interested in the defence of his country: xiv INTRODUCTION "Coast-defence fortifications served well two pur- poses : "r. To preserve, and make progress from ex- perience, the science of manufacturing large guns. "2. For testing the skill of military engineers." When we arrive at the conclusion that it is a mis- take to rely upon untrained, undisciplined men for serious war operations (all our war history can be cited in proof that it is so), we have not far to look and find what seems to be the popular reason for such reliance since the Nation has become a grand factor in the world. It is because the Nation is wonderfully rich in natural resources and artificially made wealth so great a Crcesus that it can afford to pay, at all events it seems willing to pay, for the extravagance in money and life which follows on occasions of war and left-handed business, as reg- ularly as night follows day. The popular belief in our country that money is the controlling factor in war needs to be materially shocked and greatly modified. The better senti- ment would be and it is a national harm that it is not so now all men and women in love with military service, obligatory in peace and war! The shades of night are not yet so dense as to shut from memory the recollection that certain states, having small treasury accounts and poor credit, fought near to bankruptcy wealth much superior to theirs. Thus, an example at our door where great xv INTRODUCTION wealth was no scarecrow to men of courage when long-standing causes (real or fancied) for war arose. No Hague Conference could have stopped that conflict, based, as it was, on limitation in opposition to expansion of the rights of a race. The second part of your Book I treats of problems provocative of war so evidently within the realm of exalted wisdom for correct solution that the citizen and state legislator will serve his country best by following the advice of statesmen charged with that vision which comprehendeth the American universe and its glory. The best way to determine whether an apple is sweet or sour is to eat it. Only thus can one de- cide what at sight is a doubtful condition of the apple. The several chapters of Book I we regard as in the category of " gradual approaches " to obtain view of the Apple to be found in Book II, which the reader should attentively examine and determine the flavor of, through close study of the text and maps. It is quite probable, because of the very general indifference throughout the country for things military, which serves excellently to heighten the ignorance of the purpose for and value of armies to nations, many readers will find the apple to have a neutral flavor, and in the valor of their ignorance will answer your well -prepared practical demon- xvi INTRODUCTION stration of our actual and possible military situations in their usual way: "Just let 'em try it and you'll see what we can do." The statesmen and the technically informed will more likely pass in review one of Napoleon's maxims: "The frontiers of states are either large rivers or chains of mountains or deserts. Of all these obstacles to the march of an army, the most difficult to overcome is the desert; mountains come next, and broad rivers occupy the third place." We can think of nothing better suited with which to end this letter than the following quotation from a page of your book: "Nations, being but composite individuals, all that which moves or is part of an individual, in a larger sense, moves or is part of a nation. "To free a nation from error is to enlighten the individual, and only to the degree that the individual will be receptive of truth can a nation be free from that vanity which ends with national ruin." Yours truly, ADNA R. CHAFFEE, . Lieutenant-General, U. S. A., Retired. INTRODUCTION BY MAJOR-GENERAL J. P. STORY, U. S. A., RETIRED " '"THE Valor of Ignorance " is the striking title 1 of a most remarkable book by Homer Lea. The title, however, does not indicate the scope of the undertaking, which is a military work that should be carefully read by every intelligent and patriotic citizen of the United States. The book consists of two parts the first made up of philosophical deductions, founded upon the un- changing elements of human nature as established by historical precedent. Man in his evolution from primitive savagery has followed laws as immutable as the law of gravitation. No nation has long been permitted to enjoy the blessings of peace, unless able to safeguard such blessings by force of arms. The richer a nation may be in material resources, the more likely it has been to fall a prize to a more militant people. The con- tinuous enjoyment of peace and national indepen- xix INTRODUCTION dence has always cost dear, but is well worth the price. A few idealists may have visions that, with ad- vancing civilization, war and its dreadful horrors will cease. Civilization has not changed human nature. The nature of man makes war inevitable. Armed strife will not disappear from the earth until after human nature changes. Words extolling peace are worthless for national defence, and a too clamorous gospel of peace may paralyze the best efforts to meet our military necessities. The most persistent lovers of peace, since the his- torical period, have been the Chinese. China is now reaping the logical reward of "peace at any price." It is a subject nation, its destiny controlled by alien Manchus, and its fairest possessions ravished from its littoral. The most Christian nations of Europe have for several centuries, in Asia and Africa, exacted tribute as mercilessly as did the robber barons of the Middle Ages. A Century of Dishonor shows that the United States have seized from an unwilling people nearly every foot of their soil. The United States, within ten years, have ruth- lessly suppressed in the Philippines an insurrection better justified than was our Revolution of glorious memory. This insurrection was inspired, from the Philippine point of view, by a passionate aspiration to be freed from the domination of a people alien in xx INTRODUCTION language, customs, and religion; yet it was impos- sible for the United States, in honor, or in the inter- ests of humanity, to avoid the action taken. The second part of Mr. Lea's book consists in making a logical application of the principles de- duced in the first part to the United States under its present conditions. If the data published by Mr. Lea be correct, and there seems to be no reason to question its substantial accuracy, Germany could, if it has sea supremacy in the Atlantic, land within two weeks two hundred and fifty thousand troops on our eastern coast. Japan now has sea supremacy in the Pacific. In the event of war, that supremacy could not be challenged until after we had constructed a suf- ficient fleet of colliers. Japan can within three months land on the Pacific Coast four hundred thousand troops, and seize, with only insignificant resistance, Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. A barrier of mountains and deserts makes the defence of the Pacific Slope an easy matter against attack from the East, and only from that direction could the United States hope to recapture its lost territory. Never has there been on this earth so rich a prize, now so helpless to defend itself, as the Philippine and Hawaiian Islands, the Panama Canal, Alaska, and the States of the Pacific coast. Mr. Lea has lived in the Orient and carefully xxi INTRODUCTION studied it. He sees clearly the menace of the "Yellow Peril," yet it is less than sixty years since the United States went to the uncharted shores of Japan with an olive branch in one hand and in the other a naked sword. Then was removed the lid of Pandora's box with the enthusiastic approval of the American people. It is very remarkable that the author should have so just a conception of the true value of coast fortifications in the general defence of the country. The sole function of such fortifications is to defend a port against direct naval attack. Against an enemy powerful enough to land, the coast fort has no defensive value, and may even prove an element of weakness, as did Port Arthur to Rus- sia. Not the least of Mr. Lea's service to the country is in his republication of the solemn warnings of George Washington against the employment of militia in war. Within the last one hundred and twenty -five years disaster and humiliation to our arms have fully confirmed Washington's judgment. The system of organization in the militia is the cancer which destroys its usefulness. It is futile to hope the militia may by a change of name escape the curse of its inherent inefficiency. Mr. Lea shows clearly that we are confronted by conditions which may imperil our national security, peace, and welfare. No candid mind, who carefully reads Mr. Lea's book, can draw any other conclusion. xxii INTRODUCTION It is to be hoped this book may arouse a public sentiment throughout the country which will lead to a full and serious consideration of a problem which should no longer be ignored. J. P. STORY, Major-General, U. S. A., Retired. BOOK I THE DECLINE OF MILITANCY AND THE CONTROL OF THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE " . . . As a principle in which the rights and interests of the United States are involved . , . the American continents . . . are henceforth not to be considered as subject for future colonization by any European power. . . . We owe it, therefore, to candor and to the amicable relations existing between the United States and those powers to declare that we should consider any attempt on their part to extend their system to any portion of this hemisphere as dangerous to our peace and safety. MONROE." THE VALOR OF IGNORANCE THE diversity of man's beliefs is as wide as the uncounted millions that have been or are now cluttered upon earth; enduring no longer than a second of time, yet in that brief and broken moment doubting, affirming, denying. It is this unstable, widening difference in the viewpoint of man that has filled the world with so much contention and error; the setting up and tearing down of so many transi- tory ideals, the making of fallible laws, constitutions, and gods. Truth, outside of the exact sciences, can only be approximated. The degree to which that approxi- mation approaches completeness depends upon the exactitude of empirical knowledge and freedom from error in deductions, which means, principally, a freedom from antipathies or attachments. Under such limitations we are to write this book. So the reader, for the time being, must also put 3 THE VALOR OF IGNORANCE aside his hates and desires, since that which we are about to write will arouse his passions, support or rage according to his view-point. If he is not equi- table his prejudices will distort, these unwelcome truths and leave undiscovered the fount of their bitterness. A man who wishes to be just or seeks after per- fection has no immutable sentiments of his own, but will make, as far as possible, the mind of man- kind his possession. Calmly he looks upon the world; upon all its transitory institutions, and his passions are aroused in no manner. He preserves for all mankind the same regard and consideration. The just perusal of any work demands such a state of mind, and requires a temporary obliteration of such preconceived ideas as have, through their un- disturbed sway over his mind, become prejudices or attachments. In this book many conditions may be met that will appear impossible or unbelievable, since they are contrary to what has heretofore been held up as perfection. When certain beliefs, though false or dangerous, pass to the stage of national fetichism they often become invulnerable even to the shafts of truth itself. Of the few virtues that appertain to or are emana- tions of mankind in the aggregate, patriotism is fore- most in being universally impersonated and put to a wide variety of uses ; turned to all degrees of roguery. When it becomes a national fetich, virtue goes out 4 THE VALOR OF IGNORANCE of it. Under its borrowed cloak crimes are not only committed, but nations betrayed and given over to pillage; hence the truth of the old statement, that in patriotism rogues find their final refuge. Besides being the subterfuge of rogues, patriotism is divisible into three forms : two that are false and common; one that is true and rare. The com- monest of the accepted forms, also the most errone- ous, is to be found in uncompromising and general contempt for all nations, together with an inveterate prejudice against some one of them. The next or- dinary and false form shows itself in vainglorious- ness, whether over great deeds or greater crimes; the condoning of national faults or their concealment by the exaltation of this fetich worship. True patriotism would rot away if its exemplifica- tion lay only in contempt or prejudice toward others. To inspire pride it is not necessary to arouse hatred. In peace, and not in war, is the time to judge the worth of a man's or a nation's patriotism. Those who are indifferent to their country's welfare in peace will be of no use to it in time of war: while those who make it a practice to rob the public ex- chequer of its virtues, as well as gold, or to condone such thievery, are, during warfare, so delinquent in patriotism as not to be removed from the sphere of negative treason. Patriotism in its purity is a political virtue, and as such is the antithesis of commercial vanity. To THE VALOR OF IGNORANCE boast of a nation's wealth, under the delusion that it is patriotic, is to commit a crime against patriotism. To boast does not liquidate the debt of duty. As patriotism does not hibernate in the time of peace, it is by no means difficult to discover the true patriot from the false. He is made noticeable by two characteristics causing him to stand out from among other men. And though he may be humble and unknown, yet these two virtues make him pre- eminent even among those who are vain of their honors and wealth. To die for one's country, while not less patriotic than to live for it, is by no means as beneficial. But it is in this proposal to die in battle that cowards, rogues and treasonable men find subterfuge befitting their evil practices. When, in peace, men postpone their patriotic activity to a time of war, their pro- crastination is only indicative of their worthlessness. As it is impossible after death to distinguish the coward from the hero, so in national defeat dis- tinctions cannot be made as to the cause of it. The world and the victor take no note of post-bellum explanations. For a nation to suffer defeat through unpreparedness is, to all practical purposes, as bad as though it were through cowardice on the field. In consequence, the man who opposes, in time of peace, suitable preparations for war, is as unpatriotic and detrimental to the nation as he who shirks his duty or deserts his post in time of battle. To those who have within themselves the spirit of 6 THE VALOR OF IGNORANCE true patriotism, this book will appeal with a passion peculiarly its own, for it is not other than an emana- tion of their own thoughts. To those in whom it arouses wrath we would suggest that if they will look to the origin of their feelings they will find that what they have heretofore regarded as patriotism is not even the sham of it. The third matter of importance that the reader should bear in mind as he makes his way through this book, attendant with many doubts and perhaps much passion, is not to set up the transitory fabrica- tions of man against conditions that are eternal because such ephemeral works exist in his time. National existence is not a haphazard passage of a people from an unknown beginning to an unfore- seen end. It is not an erratic phantasm of dreams that has fallen upon the sleeping consciousness of a world; but is, on the other hand, a part of life itself, governed by the same immutable laws. No state is destroyed except through those avert- ible conditions that mankind dreads to contemplate. Yet nations prefer to evade and perish rather than to master the single lesson taught by the washing- away of those that have gone down before them. In their indifference and in the valor of their igno- rance they depart, together with their monuments and constitutions, their vanities and gods. II IN the works of many philosophers, the birth, growth and decay of nations is made analogous to the life history of individuals, wherein they pass from the cradle to manhood, expanding in intellect, accumulating vigor and strength until, in due time, they grow old, die and are forgotten, down in the deep, vast ossuary of time. This similarity in the lives of men and nations is in actuality true, although it should not be precisely so. As the body of man is made up of volitionless mole- cules allowing the natural course of age, disease and decay to destroy it, the body politic of a nation is an aggregation of rational beings, atoms supposedly possessed of the ability to reason, and who should, if they are obedient to laws governing national growth and deterioration, prolong the existence of a nation far beyond the years and greatness ordina- rily allotted to it. The analogy, however, contains this melancholy truth: that only so long as a man or nation con- tinues to grow and expand do they nourish the vitality that wards off disease and decay. This continuous growth and expansion in human beings 8 THE VALOR OF IGNORANCE is their childhood, youth and manhood; the gradual cessation of it, old age or disease; its stoppage death. But among nations, though the progress and consummation are identical, we take but little note of it and name it not at all. As physical vigor constitutes health in the in- dividual, so does it among nations, and it is ex- emplified by strength among them as in mankind. A brilliant mind, a skilful hand has nothing to do with the health or duration of life in the individual, so neither has mental brilliancy compositely taken, as in a nation of scholars, anything to do with the prolongation of national existence. The duration of life in an individual is determined by his power to combat against disease, age and his fellow-men, resulting in the gradual elimination of those possessed of least combative power and the survival of those in whom these qualities are best conserved. So it is with nations. So it has ever been from the first dawn, when protoplasmic cells floated about in a pallid ether devouring one an- other, and so in the last twilight shall these same cells, evoluted even beyond what man now conceives, pass into endless night. The beginnings of political life are not hidden ab- solutely from us, and though there is no exactitude in our knowledge, we are nevertheless cognizant of the fact that at one time, when primitive man lived in continuous, individual strife, there occurred, somewhere in the sombre solitudes of a preglacial THE VALOR OF IGNORANCE forest, what has proven to be to mankind a mo- mentous combat. It was when the brawniest paleolithic man had killed or subdued all those who fought and roamed in his immediate thickets that he established the beginning of man's domination over man, and with it the beginnings of social order and its intervals of peace. When the last blow of his crude axe had fallen and he saw about him the dead and submissive, he beheld the first nation; in himself the first monarch; in his stone axe the first law, and by means of it the primitive process by which, through all succeeding ages, nations were to be created or destroyed. Wars Victory a nation. Wars Destruc- tion dissolution. Such is the melancholy epitome of national existence, and such has it been from the beginning of human association until to-day. From the time, six thousand years past, when the wild highlander rolled down from the mountains of Elam and moulded with sword and brawn the Turanian shepherds into the Chaldean Empire, until within the last decade, when the Samurai of Nippon rose out of their islands in the Eastern Sea and carved for themselves a new empire on the Continent of Asia, there has been no cessation nor deviation from this inexorable law governing the formation and extinc- tion of national entities. All kingdoms, empires, and nations that have existed on this earth have been born out of the womb of war and the delivery of them has occurred 10 THE VALOR OF IGNORANCE in the pain and labor of battle. So, too, have these same nations, with the same inevitable certainty, perished on like fields amid the wreckage and cin- ders of their defenceless possessions. As physical vigor represents the strength of man in his struggle for existence, in the same sense military vigor constitutes the strength of nations: ideals, laws and constitutions are but temporary effulgences, and are existent only so long as this strength remains vital. As manhood marks the height of physical vigor among mankind, so the militant successes of a nation mark the zenith of its physical greatness. The decline of physical strength in the individual is significant of disease or old age, culminating in death. In the same manner deteri- oration of military strength or militant capacity in a nation marks its decline; and, if there comes not a national renascence of it, decay will set in and the consummation shall not be other than that sombre end which has overtaken the innumerable nations now no more, but who, in the vanity of their great- ness, could conjecture the end of time yet not the downfall of their fragile edifices. An analysis of the history of mankind shows that from the fifteenth century before Christ until the present time, a cycle of thirty-four hundred years, there have been less than two hundred and thirty- four years of peace. Nations succeeded one another with monotonous similarity in their rise, decline and fall. One and all of them were builded by archi- ii THE VALOR OF IGNORANCE tects who were generals, masons who were soldiers, trowels that were swords and out of stones that were the ruins of decadent states. Their periods of great- ness were entirely coincident with their military prowess and with the expansion consequent upon it. The zenith of these nations' greatness was reached when expansion ceased. As there is no stand-still in the life of an individual, so neither is there in the life of a nation. National existence is governed by this invariable law: that the boundaries of political units are never, other than for a moment of time, stationary they must either expand or shrink. It is by this law of national expansion and shrink- age that we mark the rise and decline of nations. Expansion culminates, or, in other words, nations begin to decline with the subordination of national to individual supremacy. When the debasement of this formative capacity of empires is complete, the state is given over to devitalizing elements social and economic parasites. It is in these, valorous with fat pride, that the nation takes its final and in- glorious departure, as did its predecessors, forever from mankind. The hunt for old empires has now become the pas- time of solitary men who find on the willow-fringed banks of rivers only a mud mound and a silence; in desert sands, a mummy and a pyramid; by the shores of seas, a temple and a song. The shattered signs of kingdoms are but few, for most of the van- ished empires have in their departure remitted to 12 THE VALOR OF IGNORANCE posterity neither broken marbles, teopali, Alhambras, nor Druid stones. In the manner of nomads they have gone away and left no sign of habitation in the sands behind them. Theorists, in contradiction of this view, with un- conscious superficiality bring China out of the mists and mystery of her antiquity and present her as a nation created and enduring in endless peace. Such observations, unfortunately, only betray the profun- dity of their ignorance. The law of national ex- pansion or shrinkage has governed the development of the Chinese Empire with the same inexorable invariability as it has that of nations in the West. Not only does the history of the political develop- ment of China resemble the history of the remainder of mankind, but has, perhaps, within itself the sol- emn prophecy of the world's political future. China, from the obscure hour of its deep antiquity until modern times, has worked out its own advancement and civilization in no way benefited by other civiliza- tions of the world. Yet China, in its political evo- lution and expansion, has been subject to all those elements, those periods of physical vigor and de- terioration, such as have controlled the destinies of the separate successive nations that have thundered so loudly in the Occident. China, like every great empire, is made up of the cleavage and multipli- cation of political units, alternately decadent and renascent through the unnumbered years of its ex- istence. 13

The state upon which the present empire was founded was a small kingdom on the loess plains of Shensi. From this primitive state has been developed the vast empire we now watch crumbling and falling away from its former greatness in a manner wherein time is less the vandal than the childish vanity of man. The cycles of decay and renascence that mark the development of this race have, in cause and effect, been homogeneous, though thousands of years have separated a portion of them. This homogeneous expansion can be compared to the still waters of a lake where a cast stone causes to extend outward in widening sphere a series of ripples with inter- vening spaces. In this manner has been marked the evolution of the Chinese race from the time a small splinter of them was cast thither by the hand of Panku. Each ripple marks a cycle of development, each depression a period of decadence, similar in every characteristic except their widening sphere. The inexorable law of combat has governed in all its various phases the development of the Chinese Empire. Its political evolution, in a manner no different from that of European nations, has been through the battle-field. The edifice of its greatness 14 THE VALOR OF IGNORANCE has been builded by no other than those who have fought its wars. Of the twenty-five dynasties that have ruled over China, each was founded by a soldier and each in due time heard from surrounding armies the melancholy taps of its approaching end. The reasons for and the conditions contributing to the long continuance of the Chinese Empire, while other kingdoms almost as great have survived the erosion of time but a generation in comparison to the ages through which it has passed and grown great, are apparently unknown in the West. The beliefs ordinarily expressed have nothing whatever to do with it. They are fanciful, speculative or otherwise, but worthless. The Chinese as a people, their laws or customs, have had nothing to do with the preservation of their nation against the wearing away by time or that wilfuller element man. The preservation of the Chinese race for these thousands of years has been due solely to the nat- ural environment wherein the race began its na- tional growth; an environment ramparted by in- accessible mountains, moated by uninhabitable deserts or seas as shipless as they were vast. On the north and northwest are the deserts of Gobi and Shamo; beyond these, the impenetrable forests of Siberia and steppes where rests a gloom that is white. On the southwest is the Roof of the World and the blue-black gorges of the Himalayas. On the south, jungles and the Indian Ocean. On the east is the vast and lonely Pacific, a purple solitude THE VALOR OF IGNORANCE through which only a few years ago the ships of man found their way. Until the nineteenth century China was as secure in her isolation as if illimitable space intervened be- tween her borders and the nations of Europe. To the rest of mankind China was only the mythical Kingdom of Cathay, situated somewhere on the jewelled banks of Eastern seas. The Chinese, therefore, and their system of govern- ment have had nothing to do with the preservation of their race. Isolation alone has been responsible for its continuation through the storms of more than fifty centuries. Had the Celestial Kingdom been surrounded by other powerful nationalities, as were European and Central Asian Empires, ancient and modern, it would have gone down in due time as they did and now be but a memory hidden away in the old tales of the tribes of man.

he following article appeared in the Hawaiian newspaper - Monday, May 28, 1894:

...even after fixing it to read upright, it didn't stay.......but the point is that "The trustees are directed, also, to "devote a portion of each year's income to the support and education of orphans and others indigent circumstances, giving the preference to Hawaiians of pure or part aboriginal blood." In carrying out the provision of the will, the trustees have opened the school thus far only to Hawaiians, believing such to be the intention of the benevolent founder; but the terms of the will do not exclude other nationalities from the enjoyment of its privileges, if Hawaiians do not chose (choose) to avail themselves of the advantages offered to them."

This if clause gives reason for all Hawaiians of pure or part aboriginal blood to sue.......dare anyone make the move to do a class action suit? Kaiu is starting one on the Kaneohe side......where are the leaders.............Hui Pu, where are you? otherwise, every single Hawaiian of aboriginal blood can sue individually. .....better us than Congress tapping into the Estates funds via the Goldman-Sachs stocks investments by Bishop Estates.........appears they use the trust(s) for their fringe benefits..... hmmm........another reason why they're pushing the Akaka Bill....so the Trust(s) cannot be sued!

aloha.

Greetings, My name is Amelia Gora, a Royal person, one of the true Trustees of the Liliuokalani Trust/ Queen Liliuokalani Trust, etc., One of the Representatives of the Hawaiian Genealogy Society, Acting Liaison of the Royal Families House of Nobles for the Hawaiian Kingdom, a descendant of members of the original House of Nobles in the Hawaiian Kingdom and hereby document continued oppositions to the Akaka Bill......I maintain that Congress and the President does not have the authority over our Hawaiian Islands/Hawaiian archipelago which is well out of the 3-12 mile range of the contiguous United States declared by the U.S. Supreme Court Justices. Intense research by others has been made and my research extends over a period of 30+ years reviewing the history(ies), facts, evidence of Pirates on the high seas. Intense genealogy research has been made for 21+ years, Legal research for 12+ years. Genocide activities have been documented, historical identity thefts, racketeering, conspiracies, piracies, criminal concerted efforts by many treasonous, conspirators made up of former Hawaiian subjects who were actually Americans, paid off others, etc. has been documented. Admission of some of the crimes have been recorded and signed by U.S. President Clinton through See Public Law 103-150 - Admission of Crimes against the Queen, subjects of the Hawaiian Kingdom, a neutral, non-violent, friendly nation. The facts found by researcher Shane Lee, and myself identifies the Premeditation by the U.S. Congress, President Benjamin Harrison and concerted others in assuming our Hawaiian Islands prior to the criminal dethronement of our Queen Liliuokalani who was under stress, duress, coercion, usurpation, etc. It appears that all claims made by Pirates/conspirators including those who perpetuate all governments in our Hawaiian Islands including the current entity State of Hawaii is illegal, have no standing, along with the U.S. in our Hawaiian archipelago whose Congress mastered the efforts to claim a neutral, friendly nation since the 1850's and documented below. The following evidence was found by Shane Lee on the NEW YORK TIMES website "PEARL HARBOR COALING STATION" dated January 9, 1893 and has been also pulled up from newspaper records recently and in the attached files: http://query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?_r=1&res=9F0CE6DC... Congress has called Queen Liliuokalani and her 40,000 subjects in 1893 "NIGGERS" along with the Press, etc. A total of 3,000 Americans, friends and paid followers were the minority group, the documented conspirators/ criminal deviants /TERRORISTS, an updated term used in letters to President William Clinton time period, President George W. Bush, and foreign born President Barack Obama. FRAUD is documented on Alii/Chiefs and Chiefesses probates. FRAUD is documented due to the mysterious loss of the laws made during Kamehameha III's period and republished by conspirators/TERRORISTS AFTER the wrongful dethronement of Queen Liliuokalani. FRAUD is documented on Court Cases....many entered by my own ancestors. Examples: John Kapena and Antonio da Silveira, who was married to one of the wives of Kamehameha II - Liholiho. Kamehameha had 10 wives....i descend from his children KAOLEIOKU, KANEKAPOLEI, MAULI/MAULILI ....i descend from Kamehameha's siblings: KALANIKAULIHIWAKAMA PIIPII, KALEIWOHI, KELIIMAIKAI, and KIILAWEAU. I have the same blood as All the Royals and Sovereigns in Hawaii....Kamehameha thru Kamehameha V, King Lunalilo, King Kalakaua and Queen Liliuokalani. There are other descendants and heirs. Research is incomplete. Due to the evidence/facts found that Kamehameha descendants exists - Royal Persons exist, not subject to the laws (Reference: Victoria Kamamalu's Probate #2409, First Circuit Court, as stated by nephew of Kamehameha, Mataio Kekuanaoa my ancestor), and that I do not grant all of you: Congress, entity State of Hawaii, Courts in Hawaii, President who has since the time of the usurpation of Queen Liliuokalani in 1893 has died, all others having no claims, any/all jurisdiction on, over, under, around our lands and am hereby documenting oppositions forevermore, I maintain for others and myself, my families ownership of the Crown Lands, wrongfully claimed ceded lands by Conspirators/ Criminal Deviants/Terrorists (updated term) who have criminally assumed as if theirs our lands in a 3,000+ year old society with Royal Persons who are Sovereigns existing since Kamehameha formed the Monarchy government in 1810 and presently 2010. This post will be placed in various forums and websites for the world to see. Hawaii, a solvent Nation, whose Queen was wrongfully usurped, who was under stress, duress, usurpation, etc. was conspired against by traitors of the Hawaiian Kingdom/ Americans, Masons/Freemasons - secret society(ies) whose purpose was to break down Monarchial/Monarchical governments worldwide, deviously, criminally, wrongfully backed by the United States, England/Great Britain, and the bankers (Morgan bankers, Bank of England, International bankers) who breached the Law of Nations, severed treaties/broke friendship treaties with the Hawaiian Kingdom as stated and documented by Queen Liliuokalani. Kamehameha's descendants/heirs exist, King Kalakaua's descendants/heirs exist, and Queen Liliuokalani's descendants/heirs exist and maintain ownership of the Royal Family(ies) lands, including the Crown Lands which is covered under Kamehameha III's direction under the lands to his "heirs and successors". Our families also maintain claims to the "Hawaiian Government Lands from the time of our ancestor Kamehameha, and Kamehameha III - Kauikeouli who was the father of adopted children: James Young Kanehoa, John Young Jr./Keoni Ana, Grace Young/Kamaikui, Fanny Young/Fanny Kekela, Gina/Gini Young/Gini Lahilahi, Hueu Davis, Kale Davis, and Peke Davis (my ancestor)" and maintains the "Rights of Tenants" not native tenant rights for our Hawaiian aboriginal/kanaka maoli as well. The United States falsely claims Pearl Harbor through a fraud deed to two (2) deceased ancestors by King David Kalakaua who had no claims to John Young's, Isaac Davis families, which was included in a court case No. 92-2435-07 State of Hawaii vs. Robert Kalani Uichi Kihune, Ronald Dale Libkuman, Constance Hee Lau, David Paul Coon, and Francis Ahloy Keala, Interim Trustees under the Will of the Estate of Bernice Pauahi Bishop- see the countless/ other messages sent previously. As a result of this false claim to Pearl Harbor, etc., hundreds of thousands of innocents have died needlessly.........Warmongering Scoundrels, defective people, criminals of the United States, supported by England/Great Britain, bankers (Morgan bankers, Bank of England, International bankers, etc.) existed then and perpetuate the crimes of their predecessors....continuing to wrongfully plunder upon innocents in solvent countries for their lands and resources, pirating more Nations since our Hawaiian archipelago/Hawaiian Islands/Hawaiian Kingdom, and now other solvent Nations for lands, resources, wealth by documented bankrupt countries, the United States, interdependent with England/Great Britain, Morgan bankers, Bank of England, International bankers which formed the United Nations to assist in Plundering Upon others and divvy up the resources of target nations today. (It was the U.S., England, and the bankers (Morgan bankers, Bank of England, International bankers, etc.) who departed from the Law of Nations and formed the United Nations with support by the Rockefellers, the permanent Corporation and Parent Heads of the Standard Oil Company, a monopoly protected by the military, which evolved into the Exxon Oil Company gifting land for the United Nations, etc. For want of oil, the Middle East has been criminally plundered upon based on a claimed terrorist plot by specific leaders (Saddam Hussein, Bin Ladin, etc.) which were schooled by the CIA/Central Intelligence Agency of the U.S. due to implosion activities planned by the U.S., Corporations during George W. Bush Presidential term. George W. Bush, Candoleeza Rice, Dick Cheney, et. als. all hailed from various oil companies who were under the umbrella corporation Exxon. The Premeditation issues documented and shown above is one of the many evidences which shows that the U.S. is indeed a belligerent occupier, an organization of Pirates on the High Seas persevering to maintain deceptions, propaganda, criminal racketeering efforts/claims through the Akaka Bill whose authors are descendants of documented conspirators/ treasonous persons named Thomas Akaka and descendant Daniel Akaka, and bankrupt banker Daniel Inouye, et. als. The Akaka Bill along with claims to annexation, etc. simply cannot be, legally, lawfully, etc. Oppositions to the Nuclear Regulatory Agency, etc. to Depleted Uranium/DU use in our Hawaiian private properties has been made over time: Pohakuloa, Makua, Schofield are part of the Private Properties of Kamehameha's descendants heirs, Kamehameha III's "heirs and successors" and I, Amelia Gora, deny that the criminal entity State of Hawaii is a successor and maintain that they are truly documented Pirates assuming, capitalizing off of stolen monies of our families, our government, etc. Eviction notices for the U.S. military has been served through the entity State of Hawaii's attorney general, on the web to U.S. President Obama, entity State of Hawaii Governor Lingle, et. als.

But, mother is still in shock. She was invited to tour the area and at that time she was pregnant. Hopefully, Pono can get hold of the film and post the before the bulldozers of Lihue. The archiolgist for OHA was trying to include Lihue into his/HA's TCP Paradigm in his presentation and I knew beforhand about the child born with birth defect unbeknown to the mother the dangers of Schofield cantamination of DU. It was trucked to Waianae and on up to Makua. I was talking at the hip and at the top of my head. I think more at the hip this time. Kipuka..."It also has to be in line with international laws of occupation line with federal language and law." Focused point from Thomas Joseph lenchanko, Hawaiian National. So, OHA needs to go back and start all over again from the middle before the Procurement process which they put out into the meeting happens. Why, because if the architecture stamp goes on than we stuck with the military and KuKaniloko which brings into play'birthing' their way. The fricken Native Hawaiian Veterans would love to have a political handle on this human conditioning .. for their..pleasure anytime-anyplace--slam bam thank you mam type of good times. Assholes!!! Walter Heen was in the audience and I can remember the days of Kahoolawe and the fricken consent decree. I had a full on argument with the archaelogist on Kahoolawe at Kealaikahiki-Honukania in 1979 and that situation never got resolved until Sol Kahoohalahala followed through on it in 1992. We don't have that time period to resovle this disaster. But the archiologist wants Lihue, Kailua, Waikiki etc....absolute control over all 'births' on Oahu!!!!! It's all under Don Marin and the Kam III period of control. I think. The stupid archiologist said "said not to be in use as a birthing area" I was wreched. He was just slamming at the Common Law and Hawaiian Usage. He also, shift the 'diplomacy' from 'private' to public thus turning all in attendees as the little people. Daughters of Hawaii, Hawaiian Civic Club and Ohana as well as the public into 'little people.' OHA cited over and over 'Sites of Oahu' which was a surprise for me, I'm not sure if that study is "TCP" model and if so is that secondary or first source? My concern is the squabble between the temple of Lono and Kane...my energies don't go that far and I have expressed this to Pono many times. Pono, was tolerant of me that night and after he tried to comfort me ..being the fact that I felt like Bambi's mom. My husband was stationed at Schofield during the Vietnam War (Robert Mc Namara), and General Westmorland and his 'Deer Hunter' and 'Apocalypse' was pretty much what my two babies was born into. Unlike the Princess (Barbarian) Kaiulani that the young people have today. You know, the Princesses of today that is much better--we just have to watch the white (Kenneth Emory type) archaeologist steal our ancestors bones and their land. Malama

Reply by Amelia Gora 27 minutes ago: hi kukuna o ka la, it is true about the Pirates Agreements made.......... for some reason everyone focuses on President Cleveland when the focus should be on U.S. President Benjamin Harrison who was in place during the Premeditation period, when Congress (with the President) giving out a standing order to take over the Hawaiian Kingdom eight (8) days before briefly, January 8. 1893 - U.S. Congress (with President Harrison) gave a standing order to take over the Hawaiian Kingdom. January 9, 1893 - Pearl Harbor Coaling Station article printed in the NEW YORK TIMES. January 15, 1893 - Troops/Bluecoats/Military came off the ship BOSTON causing stress, duress, usurpation, coercion for the Queen and 40,000 subjects. January 17, 1893 - Queen Liliuokalani from a neutral, friendly, non-violent nation criminally usurped by treasonous persons/conspirators/pirates supported by their nation U.S., some from England/Great Britain, etc. President Benjamin Harrison suggested that a 'plebiscite' be given to the people, with the intention that it would give an 'appearance' that the wrongful dethronement were the wishes of people. President Benjamin Harrison was a former American Civil War General. His Vice President Morton was an expert in international money transfers and owned a bank which was sold to the Morgan bankers after he left office. The United States, England/Great Britain's investor was the Morgan bankers. Also, the Bank of England supported all Wars............the U.S. and England/Great Britain were bankrupt............... the stockholders of the Bank of England included past President George Washington and his wife Martha. President Benjamin Harrison used his Executive Order to stop the passage of laws affecting crimes on the high seas.........or piracy(ies) shortly before he left office..... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benjamin_Harrison 23rd President of the United States In office March 4, 1889 – March 4, 1893 Vice President Levi P. Morton Preceded by Grover Cleveland Succeeded by Grover Cleveland United States Senator from Indiana In office March 4, 1881 – March 4, 1887 Preceded by Joseph E.

Harrison remained in office until March 1893.........There were 6+ American Civil War Generals/ families in the Hawaiian Islands during the period........ Cleveland had banker relatives who were going bankrupt.......Cleveland sold the Federal Reserves bank to private investors which resulted in an ongoing slave society for democracy thinking people/citizens in the U.S.
There's lots more but one more point that is of issue: the replacement for recently sainted Father Damien DeVeuster/Father Damien was an American Civil War Officer who was given a salute by U.S. Navy ships passing the islands............... Perhaps you could put a pirate's patch on U.S. President Benjamin Harrison as well.....because he should not be forgotten....... aloha.

Permalink Reply by Amelia Gora 1 second ago: Pulled this off of another forum with info from Tane: "Many have a misconception of the Kingdom laws and constitution or are ignorant of what it says. because of that, much is conjectured and reinterpreted till many get confused. The constitution lays out the eligibility , criteria, and process in electing a new monarch should the previous one fails to name a successor." "Today it's a catch-22 but still can be worked out lawfully since the Hawaiian Kingdom still exists albeit under the U.S. Belligerent Occupation. Kauikeaouli established the Royal School for his hand-picked ali'i children to be eligibles for successor-ship of the throne should there be a vacancy whereby the previous monarch fails to name one." Note: Evidence of eligibles in the 1844 newspapers.....

and KAOLEIOKU's descendants exist............Kamehameha's Oldest Son who had four (4) children: Pauahi (w) - mother of Ruth Keelikolani; Hanuna (k) - father of Kini (w); Hookahe (w); Poohina (w) and Kapule (k); Keola (k) - father of Alenoho (k), et. als.; and Konia (w) - mother of Bernice Pauahi. Kamehameha III - Kauikeouli did hanai his cousins, the John Young, Isaac Davis families: James Young Kanehoa - hanai children's descendants exist; Keoni Ana/John Young Jr.; Grace Kamaikui - her children Hueu Davis (k) - many descendants exist; Kale Davis (w) - many descendants exist; and Peke Davis (w) many descendants exist; Fanny Kekela (w); and Gini Lahilahi - many descendants exist. Many descendants exist today and many are connecting ---had a meeting with several descendants yesterday, and several today..........many receive the IOLANI - The Royal Hawk news on the web. "There is a process that covers this should it occur. The monarch, Legislature (House of Commons), and the House of Nobles all play a crucial part in this process. The candidates must be above reproach, educated properly, not an idiot, and approved as part of the criteria." "Lot named Pauahi and she rightfully declined; that left the Queen Dowager Emma who deferred it to Lunalilo whose rank was higher than hers and being a bloodline of Kamehameha. Thus he was the first elected monarch and popular with the people." Note: Lunalilo's mother Auhea/Kekauluohi was married four (4) times. Her first husband was Kamehameha; her second husband was Kamehameha II - Liholiho. Lunalilo had a special status and was respected thru his mother's lines, who was a three time widow before she married Charles Kanaina. "When Liliuokalani died, there were two women from the Royal School that survived the queen; Abigail Maheha and Jane Loeau. Coincidently, they were the only ones that had legitimate descendants that survive today. Kuhio tried to declare the Queen incompetent which created a rift between them and she cut him out of her will. He became persona non grata. Which amounted to him being cut out of the line of succession. The Crown Princess was patented and approved as heir to the throne due to the fact that she was directly blood-related ; unfortunately, the Queen out-lived her which ended the Kalakaua Stirps." Note: Abigail Maheha has many descendants and heirs. Jane Loeau did marry a haole. Research incomplete. Kuhio's connection to the King Kalakaua's Dynasty was thru his aunty Queen Kapiolani who gave a deed for Kuhio and Kawananakoa after she died. They immediately filed it, and she opposed them publicly in the Hawaiian newspaper in 1898. Princess Kaiulani was to be married to Prince Kuhio, but she died........it was not in the movie Kaiulani, by the way.... Queen Liliuokalani in her younger days living as a hanai grandchild of a Kamehameha descendant did have children/hanai children and formed a Trust in 1872. Queen Liliuokalani denied she signed a will with the haole. See her will below:
Prince Kuhio, after Queen Liliuokalani died, did take an out of court settlement to the claim by our Queen that she did not sign a will..........he received a house in Waikiki, and agreed not to become a King/Monarch. The bottom line is that the Princes were not part of the Kamehameha families, nor part of the Kalakaua, Queen Liliuokalani families. How they did gain a fractional interest was through an agreement to pay off one of her 1872 designated trustees hanai daughter's child who has been problematic over time. Research continues on this line, and evidence of the agreements are recorded at the Bureau of Conveyances...........research incomplete. Queen Liliuokalani's issues remain unresolved............and it appears issues of genocide has occurred over time affecting the families of Queen Liliuokalani, which others and myself are a part of.........do your genealogies folks because she had many children that she called her own and hanai as well. "Since the unlawful belligerent occupation of the U.S.A., the still-existing Hawaiian Kingdom has been powerless to act on its own behalf and due process of choosing a monarch. Precedent demands that today, should the subjects of the kingdom choose to continue the constitutional monarchy, that this would then open up to all collateral relations of the children that were picked for the Royal School; which includes the direct descendants from Jane Loeau and Abigail Maheha provided all meet the requirements established in the Constitution." Picks also include the actual Kamehameha bloodlines, his brother Keliimaikai's descendants, et. als. who were the hanai/adopted children of Kauikeouli/Kamehameha III. The Kawananakoa's are not from the above lines. "We must remember there were senior lines and junior lines. Also important in the Hawaiian system was who's the mother and who's the father whereby the birthright and birth rank are established. With all the intermarriages today, it could be a problem for many. If that practice is dispensed with; then it would open up to many more. Catch-22 is that the monarch has to approve of the marriages or that person would be struck from the line of succession as if dead. So, we can see updates and changes must be ratified by legislature and House of Nobles before electing a monarch or reformation of government. This tells me we are putting the cart before the horse and needlessly worrying about who will be mo'i." Some of Kamehameha's descendants are also descendants of the original members of the House of Nobles. Some of us are descendants of multiple individuals as well. Like marries like, the sociological phenomenon can be seen in marriages in our families. Studies of cross cultural marriages also shows this significant phenomenon. "The other point brought up was identifying who is ali'i. Many of us were raised not to profess that we were ali'i and that people will know by one's demeanor, conduct, and even to the extreme of name recognition. In other words you'll be judged by your actions. To boast you are ali'i or descendant from one; is to be ho'okano, arrogant, and presumptuous as well as vain. When the missionaries came to Hawai'i, many ka po'e haole Melika wanted to kill off the ali'i so they could control the people and takeover Hawai'i. Poison was the most prevalent usage during that time; and the reason many went underground. This produced the behaviour I previously described." Note: The Hawaiian Genealogy Society came together in 1995........not because we are Kamehameha descendants, et. als. but the question asked was "do you have ancestors who were killed, beaten, thrown on Kalaupapa, Molokai (charged with leprosy, etc.)?" well, many showed up to the meetings and documenting genocide issues has been made over time as well. These are issues of human rights violations and needs to be told to our people and the World today. "The ali'i of olden days were related to many throughout the islands. Many bloodlines intermeshed with others and there are descendants from pio unions on all islands. It becomes irrelevant what island since most were related to each other." Note: Genealogy(ies) remains a study of individuals bloodlines because not everyone has the same ancestors, not everyone can claim that they descend from Kamehameha who began the Monarchy government in 1810. Genealogy(ies), history, laws are part of our active practice of an ancient 3,000 year old culture............and to lump everyone together saying that they are related to each other is just a failure to heed the ancient practices of linking the truth, the people to the land, failure to respect one's ancestors, etc. or It could just be an implanted fear, deliberately taught by the haole that something will happen to those who find out who they're from........many say that there's a spiritual guide prompting them to do their research.......and it's all good...........because one has to realize that the squatters, homeless, pirates plundering comes from people who were the castouts, the throwaways of England who searched out already occupied lands and called it theirs only 200+ years ago..........and we are nearly 3,000 years old........the Middle East nations are more than 8,000 years old, along with China, Africa, Russia...........then look at what one of the youngest nations, the U.S. supported by England has done with their propaganda, lies, etc. "Each island has their sacred places which should be revered and preserved. Hawai'i ka pae aina has been recognized internationally as the Kingdom of Hawaii and to splinter it up more would be a treasonous action. Governorship was given to each island and this is where your ali'i from your island could hold title. Molokai and Lana'i was always part of Mau'i's jurisdiction. If you view hawaiiankingdom.org you may better understand the construct of the Kingdom and its laws which are still in effect." Note: "Kingdom of Hawaii" is actually the "Hawaiian Kingdom" only - was corrected by a Hawaiian legal eagle recently. Also, "Hawaii" became used intensely after the wrongful dethronement of our Queen.....the words use were "the Hawaiian archipelago" the "Hawaiian Islands" "Hawaiian Kingdom" and Ko Hawaii Pae Aina words in the period of Kamehameha III. Out of the 40+ Kingdoms claiming government, many of them have important information as well........i enjoy using http://www.pixi.com/~kingdom/ and others for legal information as well as my own which is made available to documented Royal family members, friends. "There is strength in our unity when compared to other world nations. We should look to the 21st century and adjust to today's dynamics and choose as subjects of the kingdom which was evolving, modern, and progressive. Before the U.S. intervention, Hawaii was one of the richest country in the world. Today it's what we make it." "Instead of living under the racist U.S. WASP society, we can live under the Hawaiian Polynesian society and still relate to the outside world and actively participate with them once again." Tane ************ Note: True providing we continue to press on and maintain our family(ies) claims which includes land, water rights, ahupuaa, fishing rights, resources, etc. and boot the belligerent occupier as well....... aloha.

The Kamehameha Waltz

Performed on Friday, June 12th, 2009 at the lei ceremony on Oahu.

by sarahinhi | 1 year ago | 307 views

The following are two (2) of the main examples documenting the existence of Kamehameha's descendants/ heirs. The first example is the basis of my book Kaoleioku: Kamehameha's Oldest Son, His Descendants and Heirs (2003) by Amelia Gora :

Notes: Kaoleioku was Kamehameha's Oldest Son. He died in 1818 or before Kamehameha's death in 1819. The Russians recorded some of our ancestor's information in their ship logs. Out of the files at the Archives, Honolulu, Oahu - note the reference at the top right: 'Kaoleioku had four (4) children'......... Notes: 1) Pauahi - mother of Ruth Keelikolani; 2) Hanuna - father of Kapule (k); Kini (w); Hookahe (w); and Poohina (w); 3) Keola - father of Alenoho (k) et. als. 4) Konia - mother of Bernice Pauahi 'Bernice Pauahi was claimed to be the last of the Kamehameha's............' which is an absolute LIE! Many of his descendants have been defrauded over time........this is also evidence of genocide.......by pirates, racketeers, criminal deviance perpetuated over time. EXHIBIT No. 2 This document comes out of the Bureau of Conveyances:

This document shows Mataio Kekuanaoa/Kekuanaoa with one of his wives, along with relative Keaka who were the heirs of Ahia (w). Mataio Kekuanaoa/Kekuanaoa was the father of Paalua (k); Ruth Keelikolani (w); Moses Kaikioewa; David Kamehameha; Lot Kamehameha/Kamehameha V; Alexander Liholiho/Kamehameha IV; Victoria Kamamalu; hanai: Bernice Pauahi; E.N. Kaaua; Enoka/Enosa; Keloha (w); Alenoho (k); Kapehe (w); Kapau (k); John Kapena (k); Sam Kapena; Ialua/Kalua (k); Nalua (w); Kala (k), et. als. This document shows that One of Kekuanaoa/Mataio Kekuanaoa's wives included Kalima (w). Kalima (w) died about five (5)+ years AFTER Mataio Kekuanaoa. On this document /Liber 19 page 175, Note that the grantee of the land was a treasonous person Clarence Judd, and notice the witness was another treasonous person named Albert Francis Judd. Clarence and Albert Francis Judd were the sons of early GENOCIDE LEADER Parmele Judd. Gerrit Parmele Judd withheld the smallpox vaccine from our kanaka maoli and many dropped like flies, many died. Gerrit Parmele Judd vaccinated only haoles and a few Hawaiians/ kanaka maoli. Gerrit Parmele Judd advertised in the U.S. that he had an abundant supply of arsenic in the Hawaiian Islands. Arsenic has been dusted freely on the research documents at the Archives and the Bureau of Conveyances.................so be sure to wash your hands before you eat! You wouldn't want to die like our Kamehameha families did in the past would you? The entity State of Hawaii had passed a law preventing the testing of our Sovereigns.....so what's up with that? aloha. p.s. will be bringing out my books again soon..........UH Manoa Bookstore; Chaminade University of Honolulu; some of the bookstores carried some of them previously.

Sons of Mau Piailug talk about the master navigator

Antonio Piailug's fond memories of his father, legendary Micronesian navigator Mau Piailug, were about the countless voyages they made together.

“I used to sail with my father in Yap and Chuuk since I was 6 years old,” the younger Piailug told Saipan Tribune in a telephone interview.

With unsurpassed skills in journeying across the Pacific without the use of any navigational instruments, Mau Piailug was considered a palu, a master navigator that only uses of ancient methods of wayfaring.

On July 12, Mau Piailug, the last of the traditional master navigators, passed away on his home island of Satawal, state of Yap, in the Federated States of Micronesia. He was 78.

Mau Piailug was well-known for having navigated the Hokule'a, a Polynesia double-hulled voyaging canoe, in the 2,500-mile journey from Hawaii to Tahiti on its maiden voyage in 1976.

According to his son Henry Yarofalpiy, they found out about his father's death through a call from their relatives back in Satawal.

Mau Piailug had 10 sons and six daughters, three of whom are based on Saipan.

Yarofalpiy said his father was buried the day after he died, which is customary in Yap since they do not have a morgue.

To observe the death of a navigator like his father, Yarofalpiy said sailing between islands is banned until the family of the deceased opens up the seas by initiating sea voyaging once again.

“We won't hold it for long. We understand that people need to travel to other islands for food. We plan to open sail nine days after his death,” said Yarofalpiy.

Piailug, who last saw his father when he sailed to Satawal last year, said he followed his father in most of his trips from Satawal to Saipan on a conventional canoe.

“He had diabetes but he was in good condition [then],” said Piailug.

Legend continues

Being one of the last traditional navigators, Mau Piailug trained younger navigators, including Charles Nainoa Thompson, executive director of the Polynesian Voyaging Society, which invited Mau Piailug to support them in their quest to revive the ancient art of Hawaiian wayfaring.

“There are young people that have the knowledge but not like what he did. He's into traditional [method],” said Yarofalpiy.

In an e-mail to Saipan Tribune, Commonwealth Council for Arts executive director Angel S. Hocog offered his condolences to the family of the late Mau Piailug.

Hocog said the death of Mau Piailug is “a great loss” for the Micronesian culture because “there is so much to learn” from the late master navigator.

He added that CCAC is planning to organize an exhibit that will coincide with the Cultural Heritage Month in September to pay tribute to Mau Piailug.

Piailug noted that the continued existence of the art of traditional navigation lies to a great extent on those who have learned from the late master navigator.

“Whoever learned from him should step up and do what they learned. We have to step up and try navigating around and pass the knowledge,” he said.

To continue his father's legacy, Yarofalpiy said he plans to work closely with the Canoe Federation on Saipan and the CCAC and do educational outreach to students.

Yarofalpiy, who has done presentations at Marianas High School and other schools in the past, said he is willing to teach children so they can learn about traditional art and culture.

“It will be up to the young generation to continue this art. That's what we want, to preserve our culture,” he said.

The family of the late Mau Piailug started the nightly rosary last Tuesday, July 13, at 7:30pm and will continue until the memorial service 6pm on July 21 to be held at Santa Soledad Church.

Note: Be at peace

Reply by Kaohi 15 hours ago: I have pictures of my visit with Mau and educational material of the 1992 voyage to Tahiti. Like Yarofalpiy says. "“Whoever learned from him should step up and do what they learned. We have to step up and try navigating around and pass the knowledge,” he said.'

hi Kaohi! Mau has been a good teacher for many..........the pride of his family..... Thank you for posting this............. The contribution that he gave to our people are reminders of our ancestors navigating history........ even the petroglyphs show sailing with feathers (red religious feathers according to history) which were exchanged in the Polynesias long ago...........like thousand years ago...........exchanging food items, etc. Our Polynesians brothers and sisters link through reading the stars, navigating, exchanging plants, foods, animals..........even rats! yes, Captain Cook's men are recorded to have been roasting rats over the fire to be eaten and the Tahitians, Hawaiians laughed at them...........because as it turns out, rats were deliberately introduced into our islands to eat the unko (Japanese word)/kukae (Hawaiian word) meaning waste........ The American Missionaries are on record in the early missionary/mercenary days claiming the Chuk's, Micronesians were Hawaiian in part. It appears that our Polynesian voyagers along with their oral history(ies) are better persons to learn from than the American mercenaries/missionaries............. May he rest in peace, and hope his babies will continue to share what they have learned from him and their ancestors too. aloha.

WHAT'S LEFT - "Overthrow Incorporated" from Steven Gowans:
Subject: [what's left] Overthrow Inc.
To: sr.gowans@sympatico.ca
Date: Thursday, August 6, 2009, 12:55 PM

Overthrow Inc.: Peter Ackerman’s quest to do what the CIA used to so, and make it seem progressive

When some of State’s desk officers don’t want to create international incidents by advising activists on how to overthrow governments, they gently suggest visiting Ackerman, who has fewer qualms about lending a helping hand.” [1]

By Stephen Gowans

Peter Ackerman, an immensely wealthy investor and board member of the premier U.S. foreign policy think-tank, the Council on Foreign Relations, [2] and Robert Helvey, a 30 year veteran of the U.S. Army [3] who served two tours of duty in Vietnam [4], are the principal proponents of a nonviolent alternative to military intervention in the pursuit of U.S. foreign policy goals.

Students of Gene Sharp, who developed a theory of how to destabilize governments through nonviolent means, Ackerman and Helvey have been at the head of a kind of Imperialist International, training “a modern type of mercenary,” who travel “the world, often in the pay of the U.S. government or NGOs, in order to train local groups” [5] in regime change.

Ackerman and Helvey’s new type of mercenary are practioners of what the CIA used to call destabilization. To escape the taint of its CIA past, destabilization has been rebranded. It’s now called nonviolent resistance (NVR), shrewdly drawing upon the reputation of Martin Luther King Jr.’s nonviolent struggles for black civil rights in the 1960s. But where King sought to bring about change within the system, and in the United States, NVR is strictly a foreign affair, seeking to overturn governments abroad that operate outside the system of U.S. imperial domination.

NVR is not about pursuing social, economic and political justice at home. It’s about taking power abroad, in order to bring resistant countries into the U.S. imperial fold. To make itself appear to be squeaky clean, NVR explicitly rejects overt CIA and U.S. military sponsorship. As Helvey explains, “The easiest way to destroy a movement is for the CIA to taint it.” [6] That, however, doesn’t make NVR any different in its aims and content from the destabilization campaigns the CIA used to plan, sponsor and implement. Indeed, Ackerman and Helvey have simply taken over a CIA function, made it semi-overt, and created the illusion that it’s progressive.

from Mike Benoit:

What say you?

Michael Benoit

Wind out of my Sails

What pulls the wind out of your sails? For me, I just have to reflect on how good men do virtually nothing to stop evil and how for the most part they don’t recognize it even when it crosses their path. I am also disheartened when good men make form more important than substance.

Form over Substance

Making form more important than substance is evil as far as I am concerned. I see a world that has made “Form” senior to “Substance” This teaches us appearance is everything. It is no wonder we can’t recognize right from wrong. We have a Constitution now in form only.

Constitution in form only

It is not uncommon for people to invoke the Constitution making its form senior to it purpose or substance. Someone came into my office and told me how he came to acquire some copies of our Constitution from the local congressman’s office. I then inquired as to where in the Constitution the congressman was given authority to take the fruits of our labor to hand out Constitutions. By what right do they act?

Rights and Responsibilities

Even the atheists among us concede that we all are endowed with certain rights. listed a few of them in the Declaration of Independence. Does anyone actually think these rights come to us without having to be responsible for them? Rights without sovereignty over them are rights in form only.

Spheres of jurisdiction

Who is sovereign over what realm? Do we own ourselves? Who gave us that ownership? Can we be sovereign over ourselves yet subject to a higher authority who would in turn be the ultimate sovereign? Can we delegate to a state sovereignty over citizens disputes or conflicts? If we do that have lost sovereignty over ourselves? If the State takes control over our endowed rights who then is sovereign?

What is the Purpose of the State?

Was the state not created to secure our rights? When the state violates its designated jurisdiction has form not become superior to substance? If the state takes from you what is yours by endowment (sovereignty over self) what then is that?

What is theft?

Theft is simply taking that which is not yours to take. It can come in many forms. Paper currency printed out of thin air takes from all of us. Our right to be self determined in our actions short of harming others being infringed on by government is a form of theft. Taxation for redistribution is theft and refusing to submit to it might be extremism in defense of liberty.

What is the touchstone of ?

You decide without violating someone else’s unalienable rights.

Can you have liberty when self determinism is destroyed?

No!

Why did God give us pain?

Pain is for the purpose of teaching not to do something that harms the body, mind or soul.

What would happen if we never felt hunger?

We would perish!

What happens if Government feeds people so they don’t feel hunger?

They will not do what is necessary to survive as survival is provided at the expense of someone else. This will cause us to eventually perish.

‘If you give up liberty in the name of security you will end up with neither’

This is not just Benjamin Franklin talking, it is a law of nature. is a two sided coin with responsibility on the other side. Security is impossible without liberty. If you give up liberty, life diminishes in the process.

Why is it we trade our liberty constantly for security?

I say that it is because we are also flawed with a “something for nothing” desire. We think that we will get security by not being responsible for it. We see the loss of liberty as being nothing and security being something. Thus we satisfy the something for nothing desire.

‘All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.’

Yes evil triumphs because good men want something for nothing. They want evil to lose without battling it. Evil is winning the day and it is doing so for this reason for because we value form over substance. Working on substance requires so much more effort than supporting form.

If a few good men do something but most do nothing is that also the same result?

I think the results are the same as a few doing a lot does not hold the line against evil. I think many have to do something even a little something for good to triumph.

The totalitarian regimes of Hitler, Mao, Stalin, and Pol Pot were the fault of whom?

You got it. Good men!

Barry M. Goldwater said ''extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice'' and that ''moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue.''

I would rather give up form than substance any day, and the substance of our system is now control and loss of freedom. The form looks good but the reality or substance doesn’t.

Is it extremism to refuse to take a license from the state to be a minister?

Is it extremism to refuse assent to confiscation of your labor?

Call me an extremist who does not conform to form. I wish you would judge only on substance and let form follow not lead.

What puts wind in my sails is for good men to recognize evil and to do something about it.

Mike Benoit

Report: Pentagon seeks WikiLeaks founder Assange, fearing cables will be published
June 11, 2010, USA Today
http://content.usatoday.com/communities/ondeadline/post/2010/06/report-pentagon-seeks...

The Daily Beast

reports that Pentagon investigators are trying to track down Julian Assange, the elusive Australian-born founder of WikiLeaks

, who they believe is preparing to publish several years of State Department cables allegedly passed by the 22-year-old Manning, now being detained in Kuwait. The cables contain "information related to American diplomatic and intelligence efforts in the war zones in Afghanistan and Iraq," and they could do "serious damage to national security" if made public, government officials told the Beast. But even if they find him, it's not clear what they could do to stop publication. Daniel Ellsberg says Assange "is in danger." Meanwhile, Wired's Threat Level blog, which broke the Manning story, is reporting that Assange ... is arranging Manning's legal defense and says Manning is no spy. Assange, who first gained notoriety as a computer hacker, canceled an appearance today at an International Reporters and Editors conference in Las Vegas.

WikiLeaks to release video of deadly US Afghan attack
June 16, 2010, The Guardian (One of the UK's leading newspapers)
http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2010/jun/16/wikileaks-us-military-afghanistan-garani

The whistleblowing website WikiLeaks

says it plans to release a secret military video of one of the deadliest US air strikes in Afghanistan in which scores of children are believed to have been killed. It said it fears it is under attack after the US authorities said they were searching for the site's founder, Julian Assange, following the arrest of a US soldier accused of leaking the Afghanistan video and another of a US attack in Baghdad in which civilians were killed. It says it is still working to prepare the film of the bombing of the Afghan village of Garani in May 2009. The video could prove to be extremely embarrassing to the US military. The US ... used weapons that create casualties over a wide area, including one-tonne bombs and others that burst in the air. But two US military officials told a newspaper last year that no one checked to see whether there were women and children in the buildings. In an email to supporters, Assange said WikiLeaks has the Garani video and "a lot of other material that exposes human rights abuses by the US government". In his email, Assange also calls on supporters to protect the website from "attack" by the authorities following the detention of a US soldier, Bradley Manning, who was arrested in Iraq after admitting to a former hacker that he leaked the Garani and Baghdad videos to WikiLeaks.

Wanted by the US: WikiLeaks founder keeps his head down
June 14, 2010, Sydney Morning Herald (Australia's leading newspaper)
http://www.smh.com.au/technology/technology-news/wanted-by-the-us-wikileaks-founder...

Julian Assange, the Australian-born face of the [whistleblowers' website] WikiLeaks

, is in hiding overseas after the US military arrested one of its own soldiers, Bradley Manning, and accused him of leaking a a secret video of a US Army helicopter gunning down civilians in Iraq in 2007. The video was released on Wikileaks this year, and the US is now desperate to find Mr Assange before he leaks thousands of hugely embarrassing state diplomatic cables, which are believed to discuss the Middle East, its governments and leaders. Mr Assange, 38, is an enigmatic figure who moves frequently between countries and has bases in Iceland, Kenya, Australia and elsewhere. He was due to speak at a conference in Las Vegas on [June 11] but cancelled shortly before he was due to appear. At the same time [a US website] published an article

claiming that Pentagon investigators were engaged in a "manhunt" for Mr Assange. There have even been suggestions that Mr Assange may be in physical danger. Daniel Ellsberg, who famously leaked a top secret US history of the Vietnam War dubbed the Pentagon Papers at the height of that war, told US television he had spoken to Mr Assange last week. "He … understood that it was not safe for him to come to this country," Mr Ellsberg said.

Federal approval still flowing for flawed Gulf drilling plans
June 18, 2010, Miami Herald/McClatchy Newspapers
http://www.miamiherald.com/2010/06/18/1688759/federal-approval-still-flowing.html

Despite President Barack Obama's promises of better safeguards for offshore drilling, federal regulators continue to approve plans for oil companies to drill in the Gulf of Mexico with minimal or no environmental analysis. The Department of Interior's Minerals Management Service has signed off on at least five new offshore drilling projects since June 2, when the agency's acting director announced tougher safety regulations for drilling in the Gulf, a McClatchy review of public records has discovered. Three of the projects were approved with waivers exempting them from detailed studies of their environmental impact — the same waiver the MMS granted to BP for the ill-fated well that's been fouling the Gulf with crude for two months. Environmental groups [say] the administration is allowing oil companies to proceed with drilling plans that may be just as flawed as BP's, which concluded that a major spill was "unlikely" and that the company was equipped to manage even the worst-case blowout. "It's just outrageous," said Kieran Suckling, executive director of the Center for Biological Diversity

, a conservation organization. "The whole world is screaming and ... they're just continuing to move this stuff through the system."

Is Using Dispersants on the BP Gulf Oil Spill Fighting Pollution with Pollution?
June 18, 2010, Scientific American
http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=is-using-dispersants-fighting-pollution-with-pollution

Roughly five million liters of dispersants have now been used to break up the oil spilling into the Gulf of Mexico, making this the largest use of such chemicals in U.S. history. And there is no doubt that dispersants are toxic: Both types of the dispersal compound COREXIT used in the Gulf so far are capable of killing or depressing the growth of a wide range of aquatic species, ranging from phytoplankton to fish. But the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), for one, has become concerned about the toxicity of the most-used dispersant at the Gulf of Mexico spill—COREXIT 9500—and ordered BP to look at alternatives. The problem? The EPA's industry-generated data is unclear as to the relative toxicity of various dispersants. "If you think the data on COREXIT is bad, try to find any decent toxicology data on the alternatives," says toxicologist Carys Mitchelmore of the University of Maryland's Chesapeake Biological Laboratory, who helped write a 2005 National Research Council (NRC) report on dispersants.

June 15, 2010, Reuters News
http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSN1527338120100615

The Federal Reserve scored a political victory ... as Democrats mulling financial reform backed off measures that would expose monetary policy to audits and make the head of the New York Fed a political appointee. The U.S. House of Representatives had approved a bill in December that included a provision, championed by Texas Representative Ron Paul, that would have opened the Fed's interest rate policy to congressional audits. But in a statement on Tuesday, House Democrats participating in negotiations over a final financial reform bill signaled a willingness to live with a narrower Senate audit provision that does not cover monetary policy. The Fed, which has admitted it was too complacent about regulatory oversight in the run-up to the global financial crisis, has come under heavy fire for being too close to the banks it regulates. The House Democrats also said they would try to defeat a plan contained in the Senate bill under debate that would allow the U.S. president to name the head of the New York Fed, a step that Fed officials have argued would undercut the central bank's political independence. The U.S. central bank appears to be emerging largely unscathed by the regulatory reform efforts. It successfully fought off a Senate push last month that would have stripped it of its oversight of smaller banks, and is poised to emerge as the most powerful financial regulator when reforms are complete.

Lawmakers Negotiating Bank Bill Hold Industry Stocks
June 17, 2010, Bloomberg/Businessweek
http://www.businessweek.com/news/2010-06-17/lawmakers-negotiating-bank-bill-hold-industry...

Lawmakers writing the biggest overhaul of financial regulations since the Great Depression may have a stake in the outcome. Eight of 11 senators and six of 22 House members on a conference committee writing the final legislation own stocks in financial companies affected by the legislation, disclosure statements released yesterday show. One senator and nine representatives who also sit on the committee got extensions of the filing deadline and haven’t yet disclosed their holdings. “It’s always a concern that personal interests influence legislation,” said Lisa Gilbert, a lobbyist for the U.S. Public Interest Research Group

, a Boston-based organization pushing for stronger financial regulations. Senator Judd Gregg of New Hampshire reported Bank of America stock holdings and a savings account valued between $1 million and $5 million. The 43 negotiators are trying to iron out differences between the House and Senate versions of the legislation as they respond to an economic crisis that forced the U.S. to provide $700 billion in bailout funds for New York-based Citigroup Inc. ... Bank of America Corp. and other banks.

Saudi Arabia gives Israel clear skies to attack Iranian nuclear sites
June 12, 2010, The Times (One of the UK's leading newspapers)
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/middle_east/article7148555.ece

Saudi Arabia has conducted tests to stand down its air defences to enable Israeli jets to make a bombing raid on Iran’s nuclear facilities, The Times can reveal. Defence sources in the Gulf say that Riyadh has agreed to allow Israel to use a narrow corridor of its airspace in the north of the country to shorten the distance for a bombing run on Iran. “The Saudis have given their permission for the Israelis to pass over and they will look the other way,” said a US defence source in the area. “This has all been done with the agreement of the [US] State Department.” Sources in Saudi Arabia say it is common knowledge within defence circles in the kingdom that an arrangement is in place if Israel decides to launch the raid. “We all know this. We will let them [the Israelis] through and see nothing,” said one. The targets lie as far as 1,400 miles (2,250km) from Israel; the outer limits of their bombers’ range, even with aerial refuelling. An open corridor across northern Saudi Arabia would significantly shorten the distance. An airstrike would involve multiple waves of bombers, possibly crossing Jordan, northern Saudi Arabia and Iraq. Passing over Iraq would require at least tacit agreement to the raid from Washington.

Report: Pakistani Spy Agency Arms, Trains Taliban
June 13, 2010, ABC News
http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory?id=10900484

Pakistan's main spy agency continues to arm and train the Taliban and is even represented on the group's leadership council despite U.S. pressure to sever ties and billions in aid to combat the militants, a research report concluded. U.S. officials have suggested in the past that current or former members of Pakistan's powerful Inter-Services Intelligence agency, or ISI, have maintained links to the Taliban despite the government's decision to denounce the group in 2001 under U.S. pressure. The report issued [on June 13] by the London School of Economics offered one of the strongest cases that assistance to the group is official ISI policy, and even extends to the highest levels of the Pakistani government. The report ... was based on interviews with Taliban commanders, former Taliban officials, Western diplomats and many others. "Without a change in Pakistani behavior it will be difficult, if not impossible, for international forces and the Afghan government to make progress against the insurgency," said the report, written by Matt Waldman, a fellow at Harvard University's John F. Kennedy School of Government.

U.S. Identifies Vast Mineral Riches in Afghanistan
June 14, 2010, New York Times
http://www.nytimes.com/2010/06/14/world/asia/14minerals.html

The United States has discovered nearly $1 trillion in untapped mineral deposits in Afghanistan, far beyond any previously known reserves. The previously unknown deposits — including huge veins of iron, copper, cobalt, gold and critical industrial metals like lithium — are so big and include so many minerals that are essential to modern industry that Afghanistan could eventually be transformed into one of the most important mining centers in the world. American and Afghan officials agreed to discuss the mineral discoveries at a difficult moment in the war in Afghanistan. Just last year, Afghanistan’s minister of mines was accused by American officials of accepting a $30 million bribe to award China the rights to develop its copper mine. The minister has since been replaced. American officials fear resource-hungry China will try to dominate the development of Afghanistan’s mineral wealth, which could upset the United States, given its heavy investment in the region. After winning the bid for its Aynak copper mine in Logar Province, China clearly wants more, American officials said.

Revealed: Japan’s bribes on whaling
June 13, 2010, The Times (One of the UK's leading newspapers)
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/environment/article7149091.ece

A Sunday Times investigation has exposed Japan for bribing small nations with cash and prostitutes to gain their support for the mass slaughter of whales. The undercover investigation found officials from six countries were willing to consider selling their votes on the International Whaling Commission (IWC). The revelations come as Japan seeks to break the 24-year moratorium on commercial whaling. An IWC meeting that will decide the fate of thousands of whales, including endangered species, begins this month in Morocco. Japan denies buying the votes of IWC members. However, The Sunday Times filmed officials from pro-whaling governments admitting: - They voted with the whalers because of the large amounts of aid from Japan. One said he was not sure if his country had any whales in its territorial waters. Others are landlocked. — They receive cash payments in envelopes at IWC meetings from Japanese officials who pay their travel and hotel bills. - One disclosed that call girls were offered when fisheries ministers and civil servants visited Japan for meetings. Barry Gardiner, an MP and former Labour biodiversity minister, said the investigation revealed “disgraceful, shady practice”, which is “effectively buying votes”.

Dearth of financing stalls inventor of 110-mpg engine
May 28, 2010, Toledo Blade (Toledo's leading newspaper)
http://toledoblade.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20100528/BUSINESS07/5280334

A year ago, hundreds of people flocked to a 100,000-square-foot former factory building in Wauseon's industrial area where a Napoleon, Ohio, inventor promised to begin building engines that would travel more than 110 miles on a gallon of E85 gasoline. But time and the economy have not been kind to Doug Pelmear's plan to revolutionize the American automobile. The factory today is largely dark and empty, Mr. Pelmear's dreams of putting northwest Ohioans back to work are still constrained within two file drawers full of job applications, and his hopes of mass-producing his HP2g engine have fallen victim to a lack of funding. "We can't get the banks to look at us," Mr. Pelmear said yesterday. Mr. Pelmear said he hasn't sought money from more traditional capital sources such as investors, selling stock or bonded indebtedness, because such sources would likely cost him control of HP2g LLC - something he's unwilling to provide. A partnership Mr. Pelmear forged with Revenge Designs Inc., a Decatur, Ind. specialty carmaker that had planned to use his engine in its upcoming "Verde" supercar, dissolved this spring.

San Francisco Passes Cellphone Radiation Law
June 16, 2010, New York Times
http://www.nytimes.com/2010/06/16/us/16cell.html

Imposing roughly the same cautionary standards for cellphones as for fatty food or sugary soda, this city — never shy about its opinions — voted on [June 15] to require all retailers to display the amount of radiation each phone emits. The law — believed to be the first of its kind in the nation — came ... amid opposition from the wireless telephone industry, which views the labeling ordinance as a potential business-killing precedent. But the administration of Gavin Newsom, the city’s ... mayor ... called the vote a major victory for cell phone shoppers’ right to know. Under the law, retailers will be required to post materials — in at least 11-point type — next to phones, listing their specific absorption rate, which is the amount of radio waves absorbed into the cellphone user’s body tissue. These so-called SAR rates can vary from phone to phone, but all phones sold in the United States must have a SAR rate no greater than 1.6 watts per kilogram, according to the Federal Communications Commission, which regulates the $190 billion wireless industry.

Number of volunteers has grown despite recession, study says
June 15, 2010, Washington Post
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/06/15/AR2010061501449.html

The number of volunteers increased last year despite the recession, the biggest one-year jump since 2003. The volunteer rate has been rising nationally for years, ... but the increase in the midst of a punishing recession surprised some experts. More than 63 million Americans volunteered last year, a bump of 1.6 million, according to the Corporation for National & Community Service, an independent federal agency that runs AmeriCorps and other programs. That's nearly 27 percent of all residents. Americans donated more than 8 billion hours of service in 2009, worth an estimated $169 billion to the economy. "Folks throughout the country are looking around their communities, seeing people in pain and turning toward the problems, not away from them," said Patrick Corvington, chief executive of CNCS. "It's an important shift: Folks want to get engaged, want to make a difference." At the same time, charitable giving dropped nearly 4 percent last year, to about $304 billion, according to a study by Giving USA Foundation and the Center on Philanthropy at Indiana University. Many experts had predicted a greater drop because of the economy.

Yesterday Was a Sad Day For This Country

Yesterday was a sad day for this country. The House had the opportunity to stop the war in Afghanistan in its tracks. Instead it voted to continue to fund the war approving the $58.8 billion war funding bill. So this unnecessary war escalated by Obama will drone on literally and figuratively. And make no mistake; this is Obama's war, just like Viet Nam was Lyndon Johnson's war. It is Viet Nam Redux.

Why Leaders Must Be Held Accountable For Crimes

One of the reasons given for the exemplary conduct of Japan in the post-World War Two era is that a number of their leaders were put on trial for war crimes and executed. The justice meted out by the Allies wasn't always on target but even so the memory of the trials lingers on to this day. By contrast, U.S. leaders that engaged in aggressive war since World War II have never been put on trial. Moral?

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

White House Ends Climate Change Gag Order

EPA Whistleblowers Now Free to Speak Out

( Washington , D.C. ) – The Government Accountability Project (GAP), counsel for EPA and climate change whistleblowers Laurie Williams and Allan Zabel, sent a letter to President Obama yesterday thanking the White House for causing the EPA to withdraw its censorship orders that effectively gagged the two enforcement attorneys.

Williams and Zabel had challenged “cap-and-trade” as a climate change solution in their personal capacities by, among other actions, posting a video on YouTube late last year. The EPA accused them of violating ethics rules simply by listing and referencing their government positions and experience to strengthen their credibility.

GAP was particularly impressed that White House Ethics Counsel Norm Eisen not only intervened in this specific case, but successfully sought the Office of Government Ethics (OGE) to issue new guidelines against using ethics rules to gag whistleblowers’ noncommercial speech.

After 22 years of intransigence, the EPA also committed to implement and obey the federal anti-gag statute – requiring agencies to include a qualifier to nondisclosure policies. The qualifier makes clear that free speech rights outlined by the Whistleblower Protection Act supersede any restrictions elsewhere in the policy.

“This victory would not have happened without the White House,” stated GAP Legal Director Tom Devine . “Most impressive, the administration delivered on transparency commitments by ending censorship of those criticizing its own policies. At GAP we’re not used to that kind of leadership.”

Rick Piltz, Director of the GAP-sponsored project Climate Science Watch, emphasized the important role of the White House, stating: “The culture in federal agencies of inappropriately restricting communication is dug in. It won’t be changed overnight and it won't change all by itself. It’s going to take sustained, hands-on White House leadership and oversight.”

Background

Williams and Zabel have worked at the EPA for over 20 years. Zabel has two decades’ worth of experience assisting EPA oversight of Los Angeles ’ cap-and-trade program and California ’s Clean Air Act offsets. Last November, under threat of discipline, the EPA ordered Williams and Zabel to remove a YouTube video they created to share their concerns on cap and trade. Although their efforts were uncompensated, and they made clear they were speaking in their own capacity, the agency accused them of ethics rules violations. Besides threatening discipline, EPA imposed prior restraint by ordering them to submit future public communications for advance review. The agency reasoned that the pair violated conflict of interest rules by exploiting their titles and experience for personal views.

After Williams and Zabel sought Administration support, White House Ethics Counsel Norm Eisen’s staff checked with OGE and began discussions with relevant EPA officials. Those talks led to OGE issuing a government-wide ethics guideline opinion on 5 CFR 2635.807(b) to instruct agencies that compliance only requires employees to provide disclaimers that they are speaking for themselves and not the government, and to include other biographical details when identifying themselves. OGE explained the rules:

The purpose of section 807(b)(1) and (b)(2), in conjunction with section 702(b), is to ensure that public is not misled as to whether the views expressed by an Executive Branch employee in uncompensated teaching, writing, or speaking are those of the employee or those of the Government. A too literal parsing of either 807(b)(1) or (b)(2) divorced from this broader purpose could lead to unnecessarily restricting employee’s rights of free speech and commentary. OGE believes that when it is clear from the actual language or context of an employee’s teaching, writing, or speaking that the employee is representing personal rather than agency views, the purpose of the specific provisions discussed above has been met. [emphasis added]

               EPA then agreed that Williams and Zabel had not violated ethics rules and lifted restrictions. Freed from censorship, last week they thanked the President and EPA, while blowing the whistle to Congress on offsets as part of a cap-and-trade program. Their disclosure can be found here.

"The few days we don’t hear gunfire or explosions, we feel really happy."

Shield Pakistan’s civilians from the horrors of living inside a human rights-free zone.



	Dear amelia, Northwest Pakistan, including the Swat valley - once known as the "Switzerland of Pakistan" for its scenic and natural beauty - is now the center of a deadly triangle between the Taliban, Pakistani army forces and U.S. drone attacks. Relentless fighting between these groups has left millions of civilians homeless and unable to care for their families. Countless more have lost their lives in this appalling, human rights-free zone. As Parveen, a girl's school teacher who now holds her classes in a tent after the original school building was bombed by the Taliban, sees it: "The few days we don't hear gunfire or explosions, we feel really happy." The innocent men, women and children trapped in the middle of this violence are not acceptable casualties of war. The harm caused to them during such indiscriminate attacks is a clear reason why we must draw a line now. Act now to ensure that the civilians of northwest Pakistan won't be forgotten.	The human impact of conflict in Pakistan Young girls stand outside makeshift tents which now act as schools after the Taliban bombed the original building site. © Amnesty International video "As if Hell fell on me"
	We created the website eyesonpakistan.org to help give private citizens and policy makers access to these previously inaccessible conflict zones. Our thinking was that if we could help people visualize the extent of the violence and human rights abuses in the region, then decisive action would be taken to correct it. In just a matter of weeks, thousands have visited the website and by using our interactive maps have been able to see the destruction of Pakistan's schools, hospitals, and homes with their own eyes. The BBC, Huffington Post and other news sites have reported widely on our efforts to expose abuses committed against civilians in the region. Now that attention is finally starting to focus on Pakistan's civilians, we must ensure that clear action steps will follow. Your support means that we can continue to provide compelling imagery and analysis of human rights abuses in Pakistan. This research reinforces our case that the Pakistani and U.S. governments must do more to protect human rights in their strategies for northwest Pakistan. With your help, we can keep our eyes on Pakistan's civilians, even when it seems like the rest of the world has forgotten them.

SB 1070 court ruling:
An "important but partial victory"
Protests set for today and tomorrow

Statement from the ANSWER Coalition

July 10th march in Boston

Today’s decision by the U.S. District Court barring key provisions of the racist, anti-immigrant law SB 1070 is an important but partial victory.

The court decision comes on the eve of the implementation of the Arizona law and as demonstrators are assembling in Phoenix and elsewhere throughout the country. The ruling by U.S. District Court Judge Susan Bolton comes after weeks of intense mobilization, demonstrations and street rallies in states throughout the country. Following the decision by Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer to sign SB 1070 into law, a Boycott Arizona movement has spread from coast to coast. The court’s decision will undoubtedly be challenged. This is all the more reason to intensify the mobilization of the people, in Arizona and everywhere.

Ironically, the preliminary injunction was granted in response to a lawsuit filed by the U.S. Justice Department. The Obama administration, while opposing the Arizona law, has carried out a record number of deportations – far more than were carried out during the last two years of the Bush administration in 2007 and 2008.

The U.S. District Court today granted a preliminary injunction against key provisions of the law. They include:

The requirement that police officers in Arizona investigate the immigration status of anyone arrested in the state if the police officers “suspect” that the individuals are in the country illegally. This provision institutionalized racial profiling against Latinos and all people of color.
The imposition of criminal penalties for any non-citizen in Arizona who failed to carry their immigration documents with them or for all immigrants failing to register with the Department of Homeland Security.
The mandatory arrest of anyone who had been detained for even the most minor offense that would usually result in a ticket or citation, if that individual could not verify that they are legally authorized to be in the United States.
The allowance of police to arrest individuals, even without an arrest warrant, if they are deemed by police officers to be removable from the United States.
The creation of a new category making it a crime for undocumented immigrants to be employed in the state of Arizona.

SB 1070 will go into effect tomorrow, but without the provisions of the law that are barred by the preliminary injunction.

The ANSWER Coalition has been deeply involved in the organization of today’s and tomorrow’s demonstrations protesting SB 1070 in Phoenix, Arizona, and in all of the earlier demonstrations in Arizona and around the country.

Without the mobilization of people in the streets throughout the country, the reactionary and racist forces that pushed this law through in Arizona would have succeeded. Moreover, state legislatures throughout the country are watching Arizona with an eye to the outcome of this battle. If this clearly unconstitutional law could take effect in Arizona, racist bigots will eagerly try to pass similar measures in states throughout the country.

The Obama administration’s decision to file a lawsuit against the Arizona law was the consequence of the pressure it felt from an outraged and mobilized population that is demanding the overturn of this racist law. Judge Bolton’s decision today is in response to a number of lawsuits, including one filed by the U.S. Justice Department.

The Obama administration, however, has greatly intensified the arrest and deportation of immigrant workers since it took office in January 2009. As the Washington Post of July 26 reported, “[T]he Obama administration is deporting record numbers of illegal immigrants and auditing hundreds of businesses that blithely hire undocumented workers. The Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency expects to deport about 400,000 people this fiscal year, nearly 10 percent above the Bush administration's 2008 total and 25 percent more than were deported in 2007. The pace of company audits has roughly quadrupled since President George W. Bush's final year in office.”

We will continue to organize in the streets and support efforts in the courts to overturn SB 1070 and all federal, state and local laws that criminalize undocumented workers and promote racial profiling against Latinos and other people of color. It is not enough to allow the Obama administration to formally oppose SB 1070 in Arizona while engaging in mass deportations and arrests of immigrant workers.

Instead of mass deportations, the Obama administration should support comprehensive immigration reform that gives millions of super-exploited immigrant workers full legal rights.

Dear MoveOn member,

Yesterday, whistle-blowers released a huge trove of government documents about the War in Afghanistan—many of which raise grave questions about the U.S. strategy and whether it can ever succeed.¹ Some are calling these documents "The New Pentagon Papers."²

This is a critical moment for Congress to review Afghanistan policy. But instead, without even considering the new information, they're about to vote on a bill to spend an additional $33 billion on the war. The vote could even happen today.³

Can you call Representative Mazie Hirono today? Tell her that Congress must not pass the $33 billion war spending bill until they've at least held public hearings on these shocking new revelations. Here's where to call:

Representative Mazie Hirono

http://pol.moveon.org/call?tg=FHHI_02&cp_id=1412&id=22066-2186682-nSaLodx&t=3

The New York Times reports that "the documents sketch a war hamstrung by an Afghan government, police force and army of questionable loyalty and competence, and by a Pakistani military that appears at best uncooperative and at worst to work from the shadows as an unspoken ally of the very insurgent forces the American-led coalition is trying to defeat."⁴

Perhaps most troubling is evidence that Pakistan—supposedly our ally and the recipient of over $1 billion a year in U.S. taxpayer dollars—is secretly supporting attacks on U.S. troops by the Taliban.

According to polls, Americans are increasingly dissatisfied with the nine-year-old war in Afghanistan.⁵ This latest bombshell makes clear the public's concerns are well-founded and has reopened the debate over whether this war is really worth fighting.

But despite these new revelations, Congress is expected to vote as soon as today on an additional $33 billion for the war. Before spending one more dime on this war, Congress must hold full, public hearings on the new information that has come to light.

Can you call Rep. Hirono and urge her to demand hearings on the WikiLeaks revelations before the vote on continued funding of the war? Here's where to call:

Representative Mazie Hirono
Phone: 202-225-4906

Dear MoveOn member,

We've just unearthed a shocking new video of right-wing activist Andrew Breitbart.

Breitbart is best known for using highly misleading video "hit pieces" to smear progressives, and his videos have been shown widely by Fox and others.¹

Given that, you'd think he'd be more careful about what he says on tape. Guess again.

Check out this shocking video of Breitbart that MoveOn has just obtained:

http://pol.moveon.org/breitbart.html?id=22053-2186682-9orAIlx&t=1

Is this video real? Hey, video can't lie, right? Just ask CBS, The Washington Post, Fox, and other news outlets who've faithfully covered Andrew Breitbart's videos.

Last week, Breitbart released a highly edited video purporting to show former USDA official Shirley Sherrod making racist comments. He was exposed as a fraud when the full video came to light and it was clear Sherrod was actually making an impassioned case against racism.²

But for 24 hours, the mainstream media covered the edited Sherrod video as though it were real news—just as they'd covered Breitbart's equally deceptive videos about ACORN that smeared that organization.³

And that's why it's so galling that the media is now ignoring MoveOn's shocking new video of Breitbart himself. Our video, just as truthful as any Breitbart has ever released, deserves equal coverage from the news media.

So please share this video with your friends today on Facebook and Twitter, and forward this email. Here it is again:

http://pol.moveon.org/breitbart.html?id=22053-2186682-9orAIlx&t=4

Thanks for all you do.

Dear Amelia,
Not since the Pentagon Papers have the inner workings of war been exposed to the public in such an explosive fashion as with the WikiLeaks' revelations on the Afghan war. Last night we talked to Daniel Ellsberg, who made public the Pentagon Papers that helped end the war in Vietnam. He said:

"Wikileaks has given us a picture of the this war that shows a total replay, as in Vietnam, of a corrupt, incompetent set of allies whose main merit is a willingness to be paid by Congress and be supported by the drug trade. We are clearly mired in an escalating stalemate. The troop increase Obama has requested will make no difference.
I admire the courage of Bradley Manning for sacrificing himself to make the public aware of the futility of this war. Let us make sure his sacrifice is not in vain by using these revelations to force Congress to stop funding this war."

The "leak" comes precisely during the week that Congress will be voting on another $33 billion for war. Thanks to your calls, Congressional visits and determination this past month, the Administration has not been able to get the quick vote on the war funding they requested. Your efforts have had an impact; now we have to open the floodgates of opposition and drown the funding that would send more of our soldiers to die in vain.
To fuel your passion for these calls, here's the link to the section on civilian casualties, including incidents like the gunner at a roadblock who killed a 14-year-old girl and wounded a toddler or the Marine air strike that left seven children dead. You can also read our WikiLeak talking points here!
Call 888-493-5443 now. Tell your Congressperson that the WikiLeaks' documents confirm that this war is immoral and unwinnable.
Whether we succeed in blocking the war funding or not, we'll be able to clearly identify Congressional war enablers and war opponents, so we can punish and reward them when they're home for August and at the polls in November.
Thank you for turning this leak into a tsunami of anti-war pressure,
Bonnie, Dana, Farida, Gael, Gayle, Joan, Jodie, Medea, Nancy, Rae, and Victoria

What the Wikileaks files TRULY revealANSWER Coalition interview on breaking Wikileaks storySend a letter to the editor of your newspaper

Brian Becker RT video interview Wikileaks Afghanistan documents

Watch the 2 1/2 minute video
with Brian Becker, National Coordinator
of the ANSWER Coalition, on the
breaking news of the leaked documents

The release of 90,000 secret U.S. military files by the whistleblower website Wikileaks, in its broadest context, reveals that the Obama administration and the Pentagon brass have been and still are fully aware that they are not only losing the war in Afghanistan, but also have no possibility of winning.

The documents present a powerful indictment against the Pentagon, the Obama administration and the Bush administration for their failure to tell the truth about the war in Afghanistan. They provide documentary evidence of the killing of hundreds and perhaps thousands of civilians by U.S. and NATO troops.

The files reveal that the Pentagon set up a secret commando unit called Task Force 373 that is nothing other than a death squad. Task Force 373, made up of Army and Navy Special Operatives, is seeking to assassinate individuals from an assembled list of 2,000 targets.

And despite rosy-sounding publicity missives coming from the Pentagon, the information released on Wikileaks shows an obvious pattern of intensifying bomb attacks against U.S. and NATO forces.

The decision by the Obama administration to send 60,000 additional troops to Afghanistan in 2009 is exposed as nothing other than a decision to send more human beings to their death in an ongoing war that cannot be won, so as to avoid taking the political responsibility for a military setback. That is the rule that all U.S. policymakers abide by. No matter what, they must avoid the appearance of military defeat at the hands of an armed resistance.

The White House condemned the release of the classified documents in the most disingenuous and hypocritical way. It denounced those who provided the files for putting “the lives of U.S. and partner service members at risk.” That is turning reality upside down. It is the Obama administration that is putting the lives of U.S. service members and Afghan civilians “at risk” every day by continuing a war just so that it can avoid the political backlash for suffering a defeat on its watch.

The released documents paint a grim picture that is repeated over and over again involving a large number of previously unknown incidents where U.S. and NATO troops shot and murdered unarmed drivers and motorcyclists.

The documents reveal another incident where French troops used machine guns to strafe a bus full of children in 2008. A military patrol machine gunned another bus, wounding or killing 15 of its civilian passengers. In 2007, Polish troops rained mortar fire down on an Afghan village, killing a wedding party, including pregnant women, in a revenge attack for an earlier insurgent assault.

In April of this year, Wikileaks published the now-famous classified video of a U.S. Apache helicopter murdering 12 Iraqi civilians and seriously wounding children. The Pentagon arrested Bradley Manning, a 22-year-old intelligence analyst in Iraq and has been holding him incommunicado in recent months. Wikileaks has not disclosed whether Manning was the source of the leak of the classified video or the recently released documents, but has announced that it will help provide legal assistance for Bradley Manning.

For months now, the web of lies spun by the White House and Pentagon about the Afghan war has started to come undone. Public support for the Afghan war, along with support from inside the military ranks, continues to decline. But it will take a resurgent anti-war movement to convert this latent frustration into a powerful political force that can finally bring the criminal occupation to an end.

Editor's Choice

Premature deaths should be the priority for prevention

Fiona Godlee, editor, BMJ

fgodlee@bmj.com

"We must all die from something," Iona Heath reminds us, lestwe forget (doi:10.1136/bmj.c3883). Her point, beautifully madeas always, is that we should focus not on reducing mortality,which will always be 100%, but on reducing premature mortality.And this means we must prioritise. "If we continue to fightall causes of mortality, particularly in extreme old age, wehave no hope of success," she writes. "And we will consume anever increasing proportion of healthcare resources for everdiminishing returns."
This week’s BMJ features two important global causes ofpremature mortality: malaria and suicide. Now that TV celebrityCheryl Cole is on the mend from her recent bout of malaria,it seems reasonable to hope that she’ll find ways to supportthe fight against the disease. The new WHO guidelines will alsohelp, says Hugh Reyburn (doi:10.1136/bmj.c2637), with theiremphasis on parasitological diagnosis in young children whereverpossible rather than presumptive treatment. Robert Newman agrees(doi:10.1136/bmj.c2714) but says we’ll never beat malariaunless we train enough health workers in countries where thedisease is endemic.
As for suicide, in the UK it kills twice as many people as dieon the roads and is the commonest cause of death in young people,surely a problem on which to focus our preventive efforts. AlysCole-King and Peter Leppina (doi:10.1136/bmj.c3890) say doctorsavoid asking about suicidal thoughts for fear of uncoveringa risk they will be unable to manage. An emphasis on risk minimisationrather than risk management could help, they say. So too couldknowing which methods of attempted suicide carry most risk ofcompleted suicide in the future. Bo Runeson and colleagues foundgreatest risk in those who had previously tried to jump to theirdeath or to hang, gas, shoot, or drown themselves (doi:10.1136/bmj.c3222).
How best to keep people safe while they get the social and psychologicalsupport they need? Putting a barrier across the Bloor StreetViaduct in Toronto stopped people jumping from that bridge butmade no difference to the city’s overall rate of deathfrom jumping, according to the study by Mark Sinyor and AnthonyLevitt (doi:10.1136/bmj.c2884). D Gunnell and M Miller say thatalthough targeting suicide hotspots is important, more can beachieved by restricting access to highly lethal household methodssuch as toxic pesticides in developing countries and firearmsin the United States (doi:10.1136/bmj.c3054).
Our coverage three weeks ago of deaths and difficulties arisingfrom the use of locums in the UK has upset some locum doctors.Alexandros Tsikoudas rightly points out that "high profile locumdisasters are no different from the plethora of non-locum disasters,"such as the serial killings by GP Harold Shipman and the paediatricheart surgery scandal at Bristol Royal Infirmary (doi:10.1136/bmj.c3875).But as he and others go on to say, the UK is unique in relyingso heavily on locums to staff its health service. Is this asign of a failing medical staffing policy, asks Erik Walbeehm(doi:10.1136/bmj.c3876). Would it help if we paid GPs more forout of hours care, asks Timothy Jefferson Cantor (doi:10.1136/bmj.c3881).And why don’t we have a properly staffed scheme to coverthe perennial vacancies, asks Peter Trewby (doi:10.1136/bmj.c3880).These are all good questions. While Andrew Lansley turns theNHS upside down—again (doi:10.1136/bmj.c3843)—here’sone bit of it that really needs reform.

CLAIMING YOUR ANCESTORS LANDS --- ALLODIAL ISSUES.....

The following article was posted in the IOLANI - The Royal Hawk.

This message is being sent again because the EXHIBIT section was not covered.

The legal documents should contain the following in the following order:

1) Cover page (covers ancestors name, RP/Royal Patent Number, LCA/ Land Commission Award number

2) Affidavit/Certification (family genealogies)

3) Heirs and Assigns page

5) JURAT, NOTARY page

6) Xerox two (2) or more sets. The notary usually wants to do only two (2) for a set. If more copies are needed for family members, you could make copies after the notary signs the documents, and even after the filing is completed.

7) obtain a notary signature from your Credit Union, bank --- First Hawaiian Bank has a preferred customer account that you may be able to qualify for......worth it because the cost of a Notary will be nothing/free..........at the Credit Unions and some banks also give free notary signature......cousin paid about $50 a couple of weeks ago ---$5 per notary signature.
