Dear Hawaii, first let me say, I love you. My family has strong ties here starting with Z. Taylor who recognized the Hawaiian Islands as independent in 1849. There is so much beauty in the people & geography. I've learned much from the original culture. I can see why people flock to live here.
Beneath the crystal blue water, there is a dangerous rip tide and under current: an over-taxing, over regulating State govt. which has its hand out to UN money and programs. It wants to commercialize the culture for profit. The UN needs a separate govt to sign with to trademark and copyright all thing Hawaii. The "haole" is not doing this, but the "Native" Hawaiian indigenous reps. (while pointing fingers at foreigners.)
Many "Actor-vists" perpetuate the problems. How? By concentrating on division. Us vs. them. OHA holds injuries in front of you like a carrot leading the people like a horse into a federal rec. Indian tribe. Some tell people NOT to vote - not American- which enables foreigners to make decisions that control you. It disempowers people.
It seems every protest is hijacked by bribes from OHA. The actor-vists, first in line, on TV, praised by many, have been horribly rude to Jack, calling him "too uneducated," "too unsophisticated" to participate, labeling him a 2nd class kanaka for leaving Hawaii, a haole lover. I've been told not to talk, nit MY problem or history, I can't possibly know the struggles (or empathize, or advocate) for them, etc.
The medical system and labeling "Hawaiians" as sickly is used as an excuse not to treat them. People are dying for lack of basic care and the red tape. Many can't maneuver the "system." Many don't know how y to appeal decisions or denials. They give up. Who is going to pay much attention when a sick Hawaiian dies? No one.
The many Royal trusts appear to promote "culture" as opposed to providing funds for truly beneficial item, such as dental care and dentures, the first necessity for better health. How about computers for the kanaka?
Perpetual protests with professional protesters will NEVER stop, and the "bad guy" is always the "white guy." Racism is encouraged against the visitors and transplants while the TRUE racism against the kanaka is killing them. Examples include lack of Hawaiian Homes, lack of ocean access, blood quantum, etc.
Taxes....taxed for 22% raises for upper County officials (up to $37k/yr. Raise.) Taxed because the county self insured homes built on a volcano lava zone 1, taxed by the Jones Act on all imports, taxed for the monorail. Hawaii gets off on new taxes and high cost of living. Much like the So. Border in Calif., this all provides political talking points and nothing gets done. But...rest assured, people thousands of miles away will think twice before using "aloha" in a business name, as though THAT issue provided any type of relief to the people working three jobs. It seems rather bully-ish to me.
March after march down the streets of Oahu have brought little change from my perspective. What is the point when those who decide are elected officialms who just see to tolerate the protests.KNOW THIS...the State can and will out-wait and out-spend you. Believe it our not, many in the State are for independence.
These examples and opinions are NOT the reason we we leaving Hawaii, but do tip the scale in favor of it. The REASON we are leaving is because if Jack stays, he will not receive the medical care he needs, not because it CAN"T be provided, but because it WON'T be provided, which is directly related to State policy and lack of accountability. In short...corruption. I also believe Jack being full blooded and related to the monarchy has contributed to our horrendous experiences.
So much money is wasted here. Arbitrary medical decisions are made that hurt people. There are some good doctors, but the State provides a very bad atmosphere for doctors here. This is March worthy, vote worthy to bring change, but people live with it silently because here in Hawaii, you can't bite the hand that feds you, even if that food is rotten, it's the only thing they have.
I hope POTUS sends in the feds to regrow and audit each and every State agency to drain the swamp and offer relief to the kanaka. Hawaii has a severe, illogical hated towards Trump, generally.
In any event, life is short and we can't spend more time here without Jack suffering less actual care.thanks There will be no improvement here.
My admonishment: VOTE, even if you write "under duress" on the ballot. RUN for office and start stearing the changes you want from within. Force Hawaiian Air and all incoming flights to view a video on the history of Hawaii. You will be surprised how much support you will received from people who, like you, were taught propaganda. Pray that any evil assignment against Hawaii is defeated and rendered impotent. Give Trump a second look, he is responsive.
Our love and prayers are with Hawaii always. A hui hou, aloha nui loa, aloha oi.
