ExpandMyMind Posted January 18, 2010 #1 Share Posted January 18, 2010 i thought this may be an interesting one for some out there to read. not sure if it has much, or any merit though. the voice of reason will no doubt appear in the thread and explain. It is easy to find the courage necessary to support a moral position if that position benefits oneself. True moral courage, however, is proven when one chooses to support that which is morally and ethically right even when such a position is to one's one detriment.The people of the United States find themselves in such a position right now, forced to choose between a moral and ethical position that carries with it the potential for "inconvenience", or supporting the status quo and having to admit to themselves that they are not the champions of justice they imagine themselves to be. By the end of this article, you will know for yourself which one you are. Most folks have heard that Hawaii is a state, one of the United States of America. Most people, including those who live in Hawaii, accept that statement as a fact. But the reality is that in a world in which nations are as bound by the rule of laws as are the citizens of nations (if not more so), the truth is quite different! http://whatreallyhappened.com/WRHARTICLES/HAWAII/hawaii.html this was the part that caught my attention. On November 23, 1993, President Clinton signed United States Public Law 103-150, which not only acknowledged the illegal actions committed by the United States in the overthrow of the legitimate government of Hawaii, but also that the Hawaiian people never surrendered their sovereignty. The latter is the most important part of United States Public Law 103-150 for it makes it quite clear that the Hawaiian people never legally ceased to be a sovereign separate independent nation. There is no argument that can change that fact. United States Public Law 103-150, despite its polite language, is an official admission that the government of the United States illegally occupies the territory of the Hawaiian people. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielost Posted January 18, 2010 #2 Share Posted January 18, 2010 (edited) Hawaii would lose the massive and complex bureaucracy that connects Hawaii to the mainland, and Hawaii's citizens would be free of their shares of the $7 trillion dollar federal debt and its ruinous interest, but who would mourn the loss? this is what this is all about. sounds to me like the rich in hawaii don't want to play the governments game no more. ie tax and spend. as for alaska, it is an illegal state. at the time that it was made a state it didn't have the minimum number of citizens required by the united states constituiton. as for the rest, when the king allowed/surrendered to american forces he surrendered unconditionlly at least from what i read.

Corp Posted January 19, 2010 #3 Share Posted January 19, 2010 From what I remember US businessmen slowly took over the country as settlers began to outnumber the natives. The Queen tried to do something about it so those settlers called on the US to help them. The US military invaded and the settlers used their majority to vote Hawaii into the Union. Of course we only talked about Hawaii in passing in my one class so I could very well be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyingswan Posted January 20, 2010 #6 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Interesting. Have any similar apologies been issued to the indigenous inhabitants of other US states? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now you going to riled up these Birthers into coming here and bring up the whole dead issue of Obamas BC again. that wasn't my intention and if any do bring up the eligibility in this thread then i'll ask a mod to keep 'em in line. i just find it interesting. i knew, and indeed still do know, very little about hawaii and to find out that, (possibly) technically, that the US could be considered to be illegaly occupying this state, caught my attention enough to post about it. regardless of the legalities, something that is clear is that what i have learned about the US' seizure of this state is at the very least shocking.

To me it seems Corp is right and this is a confusion between the Hawaiians and Hawaii as a territory. Historically most of the areas with indigenous population are annexed without asking for permission, and most of the modern countries are located on such lands. Indigenous population usually does not have a legal system, developed enough for them to claim land property and express their political will, this civilizational difference is often abused by more "civilized" nations. Moreover, this abuse legally does not contradict to the "laws" of the indigenous people, as technically they are not losing their lands physically, and actually do not have any laws in our sense. Primitive tribes do not know the land ownership and do not know the sales of the land, they simply live on this land, for many of them it is like air or water cannot belong to anyone.

pallidin Posted May 20, 2013 #12 Share Posted May 20, 2013 (edited) Oh, so the fact that Europeans overthrew native Americans, means that America actually belongs only to the natives? Or that Hawaii only belongs to it's natives? BS. That argument could be suggested for nearly EVERY CURRENT COUNTRY ON THE PLANET. Yeah, let's just go back to the cavemen days before territory was acquired by occupation, treaty or force. In doing so, that wipes-out 99% of all current country territorial clams. This premise is just silly, IMHO. EVERYONE BACK TO AFRICA. Blah... Edited May 20, 2013 by pallidin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tata Rompe Pecho Posted May 21, 2013 #15 Share Posted May 21, 2013 So basically 'Merica did what it does best.. Bully people and get what it wants.. What exactly is shocking here? We've perfected the art of taking from others, don't just take my word for it.. Open history books. They give you an option to sell/surrender, if you don't.. That is an act of war. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
