MORE EVIDENCE OF PREMEDITATION BY THE UNITED STATES AND REASONS WHY
THE UNITED STATES INVOLVEMENT TO SET UP A HAWAIIAN GOVERNMENT IS ILLEGAL/T
Shared by Professor Williamson Chang (2015)

What's on your mind? A lot. Please see my comments below about the forthcoming election and 'Aha.The Election and the ‘Aha: Time to Step Up-Not BackWilliamson B.C. Chang
Professor of Law,
University of Hawaii School of Law
Speaking in his own capacitySeptember 11th: There are four days left to nominate delegate-candidates to the ‘AhaHawaiians have great knowledge. We know how to march. We know how to stand vigil on a mountain. Indeed, we know how to prepare for hurricanes—we go to Costco, stock up, buy generators and batten down the windows. Why have we done so little about the forthcoming ‘Aha?Why are we not preparing as if this were not as important as a tropical storm? What justifies ignoring the ‘Aha? It is inconceivable that the voice of the Hawaiian people should be missing at their very own constitutional convention.Many say the whole process is corrupt, detestable, a flagrant insult, a power play and too “fixed” to become involved. This is true. However, this is a critical moment in Hawaiian history.One may be frustrated; one may be angry; one may believe the process corrupt, but one’s voice cannot be heard if one is not there. Our silence has been so often taken as consent to harmful outcomes. That should never happen again.We have been fighting for our lands and sovereignty even before the overthrow. Why stay out of the fight now? Our grandparents showed up and delivered the Kūʻē petitions to Washington.Our ancestors fought annexation with grace, dignity and knowledge. And they prevailed--the United States Senate never ratified the Treaty of Annexation.Too often, we have been excluded from key meetings and critical decisions. Too often our participation has been limited to three or five minutes. This time we are organizing the hearings and committees. This time we are in charge. This is our time.So, what should one do? Share opinions. Join a discussion group.
Develop questions, educate yourself and educate others. Hawaiians were once the most literate people on earth. Education, dialogue and participation are power.So, start now--invite speakers to coffee hours, group meetings, or panels. Talk to your children. Talk to your elders. Seek out known leaders and those who are running and ask them what they stand for. Learn about the process. If you are ready––then run—and tell others why you are running. It is not too late, but we are cutting it very close. The moment is upon us.As the saying goes: Do not cut off your nose to spite your face. In other words, do not engage in an act of anger or revenge that will hurt you more than it hurts anyone else. Hawaiians have often voted with their feet---that is by not participating.Hawaiians do not vote in the primary election, the general election, even in the election of OHA trustees. Hawaiians have the numbers-- the political power to make a huge difference. It is time for change.Mahalo for listening.

************************- Pi'ilani Kakalia Cousin, are you sharing this post because you agree with Professor Chang and the need to participate in the process?
Amelia Gora No, I don't share his views; however, am interested in the article that shows the Premeditation of taking over the Hawaiian Kingdom etc. This is the one that am interested in: Williamson Chang

Pono Keal'i asked me about proof the United States knew about the Overthrow in 1893::
Aloha Pono:
I don't think there is any doubt that the United States knew about the planned overthrow and the race to be annexed to the United States. I will share with you a letter of December 14, 1892 just a month before the overthrow where Thurston writes to Archibald Hopkins, an agent in Washington. The letter below contains references and discussions that make clear Thurston had conversations with United States officials prior to December of 1892:
Letter of December 14 1893 from Lorrin Thurston to Archibald Hopkins. . Page 175
December 14, 1892
To: Mr. Archibald Hopkins
Washington D.C.
Aboard the S.S. Australia
Dear Sir:
I hereby acknowledge the receipt of letter of 15 November. Your communication is of the most important character, and in the limited time since receiving it, those more particularly favorable to the proposition therein contained have held a number of consultations upon the subject and we are unanimously of the opinion that there is no provability of success in attempting to secure annexation within the time that you mention upon the lines suggested.
It is difficult, impossible in fact, to state within the limits of a letter, the reasons, and difficulties which present themselves at this time.
In the first place, the diverse nationality and numerous conflicting interests of the population render Hawaiian politics kaleidoscopic to the last degree, resulting in the most unexpected changes and combinations.
The result of the whole was swinging of the pendulum against annexation and in favor of the Queen. This regard for the Queen, among the natives, is however, practically nil.
The opposition to annexation by the natives is not so much upon personal support of royalty as it is on a strong sentimental feeling in favor of independence intertwined with a strong race prejudice against foreigners, and the fear that with the loss of independence the control go f the Government would be more likely to pass out of their hands and that less offices would be filled by Hawaiians.”
“...annexation would lead to a parade of deadbeats and carpetbaggers and politicians from Washington..”
“Second, you promise to pay the Queen 250,000 This is a large sum and if times were .... and she felt insecure, this might be sufficient. Her present income is about 30,000.”
“In addition to the objections which would be raised on her part from a financial point of view, she is of a stubborn headstrong disposition, jealous of her royal prerogatives and desirous of extending rather then giving up any of the powers and privileges she now possesses. This is illustrated by her recent conflict with the legislature upon the question of whether the majority of the legislature or the individual preferences of the Queen should rule in the selection of the Cabinet.”
“Third, if it is going to be a requirement from the Washington end of the line that the treaty be approved by the legislature, two difficulties appear, viz: 1) the opposition of native members and 2) the opposition of certain planters.”
“The opposition of natives is based on the reasons given above. Some of them could in the short time proposed be convinced by argument. The remainder would have to be subsidized in the amount of 5,000 dollars each, as would also some 12 to 20 of the native leaders outside the …”
“The number of natives and half castes now in the legislature is 25 out of a total of 48. Of those, a vote now taken the result would probably be if, subsidizing was not resorted to , in favor of it, 6, opposed, 19, of whom probably 15 could be controlled by subsidizing them on the scale above stated.”
“Of the 23 foreigners, the vote would probably stand, in favor of it 13, opposed irreconcilably, 4, doubtful by reason of uncertainty concerning the labor question, 3, doubtful for other reasons 3.”
“The doubt raised by the labor question is this: By Hawaiian law contracts for personal labor can, when exercised in accordance with the ruling thereto be penally enforced. If Hawaii became a part of the Union, the U.S. Constitution, it is argued would prohibit this.”
“The planters dislike this custom and would gladly do away with it if they saw ….substitute therefore. So far as laborers resident as the islanders are concerned it is almost a dead letter.
“The drain on the supply of plantation laborers is however so great through departures from the country and leaving to engage in more profitable work, that it is necessary to introduce annually from abroad some 3000 to 5000 to keep up the supply.”
“The practice [ of the planters] has been to advance such expenses. This amounts to $75 per man for the Japanese of whom some 20,000 have been introduced, and some what less for Chinese.”
“Another point connected with the labor question is the fear on the part of the same class of planters above mentioned that the U.S. prohibition of Chinese immigration will be extended to the islands and perhaps ultimately made to include Japanese, in which case our sole source of labor supply at living rates to the sugar planter would be cut off, while the effect of annexation on other industries would be such as to raise the wages of labor in the country to a point which the sugar and rice business can not pay.”
“The reply which has been made to the two objections, and also to the fear of carpetbaggers is, that, the two countries are independent contracting powers who can agree to unite upon any terms they may agree upon and that all of these points can be satisfactorily avoided in the treaty.”
Will the U.S. consider it sufficient if the signature of the Queen is on the treaty?. Or will it be sufficient if the signature of the Queen and cabinet, ..........Or will it be require that in addition to the above enumerated requirements the approval of the majority of voters be obtained. Or will it be deemed sufficient if the approval of the Cabinet. Will the U.S. agree to allow the agricultural industries t introduce laborers if necessary and hold them under contracts similar to the shipping contracts signed by U.S. merchant sailors until the advances are worked out or paid back?
Letter from Lorrin A. Thurston to Archibald Hopkins
December 14, 1892
I believe there is more. The Apology Resolution was based on falsehoods and non-disclosures--but probably should be kept around--as it amounts to a confession.

- Amelia Gora Arrest, Prosecute, Imprison.......Genocide Activities Against Innocents......who else is guilty? George Buds the elder, Jimmy Carter, William Clinton.......and the Congressmen, Congresswomen who have perpetuated Crimes against Humanity......
- Amelia Gora from Joe's thread: Nixon breached a treaty....what else is new with the Presidents? Nixon was implicated in the scandals....i think he exited because he would have lost all his bennies/benefits....his continuous Presidential pay and lots of people surrounding him for his and his families safety.....he would have lost it if he was impeached.....Obama should also take it into consideration as well because what i posted about our Queen Liliuokalani means that Hawaii is truly a Monarchy, Constitutional Monarchy and evidence of U.S. President Harrison participating in Premeditation means that Obama cannot claim he was born in the U.S.! seehttp://theiolani.blogspot.com/ " Wicked..........there's more evidence of Premeditation folks.....which means that the U.S., State of Hawaii, the Trustees, etc. own nothing, are nothing, and are wicked occupiers trying to get something that Does NOT belong to them...........the Pirates need to deoccupy.....................they are truly PARASITES IN THE PACIFIC!"
IOLANI - The Royal Hawk
theiolani.blogspot.com ........Consider Resigning like Nixon President Obama....because War Criminal Activities are the charges heading your way, along with the fact that the Hawaiian Kingdom exists and the fraud claims of being born in Hawaii means Hawaii is NOT part of the U.S. legally....evidence? theiolani.blogspot.com Queen Liliuokalani was under duress, she signed a phoney name to the "abrogation", and the secreted Telegrams showing Premeditation by the U.S. President Benjamin Harrison is now on record for all to see.....
