No, I didn’t. Generally don’t...

Well, I read your comments.
In fact I read most all the comments on this site.
I'm a fast reader.
Keep up your efforts.

I actually do read most of your comments.  Missed that one.  That said, your comments tend to be basically the same thing, so maybe I just read the first couple of lines before tuning out. . .

At this point, I think they should abandon TMT and turn that place into a permanent stage for Merrie Monarch.

Can't wait for the "kingdom" to be restored so we will have even more benefits of being ruled by superstitious racist dictators (once they resolve the heavy fighting about who the true top of the royalty pile is...).

Why do keep insulting Hawaiians who wish to see the rightful and legal restoration of their nation and sovereign government as all superstitious racist dictators?

that's a point / demerit for him

However,  OHA is elected.  Hawaiians should organize and elect people that will not be "puppets".

I never hear anything much about the OHA candidates, I have a hard time even finding what policies they root for. Should use your American freedoms to better your situation.

Organize grass roots informational campaigns.  Since anyone can vote for OHA trustees, more info needs to be disseminated.   Also, voter registration drives, and encouragement to actually vote when the time comes. 

I would vote for pro Hawaiian candidates (as long as they are pro 2A of course)

What is the sovereign nation’s official policy on gun rights?

Kuleana,

Haven’t the courts ruled on this?

No.  None of the US Courts have ever touched a case with the primary issue was the US unconstitutional annexation of Hawaii in 1898.

I believe there has been complaints/suits filed in both federal and state court and none of those complaints have ever been officially given due process.

If such a case did occur and ruled against Hawaiians, it would have already have been presented publicly and offered as rebuttal evidence for those against the restoration of the Hawaiian nation state.

Just to clarify, if instead of annexing Hawaii, America just declared war and took over by force, then you would not say the whole thing was illegal? It seems your suggestion that the annexation was illegal depends on technical language about annexation.

First of all, let me say the US and Hawaii are still in a state of war.

In affairs between recognized nation states, the relationship between them can only be in a state of war or peace.  A state of war exists when one side declares war on the other or when one side commits acts of war without any declaration.  Once war begins, a state of peace can only come about via a treaty of peace, which may or may not include any territory lost during that war.  If there is no such treaty of peace, like in the case of the Korean War, there is no official end to hostilities and territory taken at the end of such hostilities is not official and can be described at occupied territories (e.g. West Bank, Gaza Strip, and the Golan Heights are illegally occupied by Israel).

In the case of Hawaii, the US did commit an act of war by participating in the overthrow of Queen Liliuokalani in 1893.  After her being deposed, the so-called Republic of Hawaii was never recognized as the legitimate government by the US, as evidenced by the US not immediately annexing Hawaii as the Caucasian insurrectionists/traitors who instigated the overthrow of Liliuokalani had hoped and was the sole reason why they overthrew her at the very beginning.  Fast forwarding to 1898, the US was getting into war with Spain and her colonies and the imperialist President McKinley wanted Pearl Harbor as a naval base to control the sea-lanes in the Pacific. He initially tried to annex Hawaii LEGALLY via the US State Department, but was the vote to annex Hawaii was DEFEATED in the Senate due to the famous Kue Petition that was presented to Congress showing Hawaiians did not want to be part of the US.  Not giving up, the imperialists in US Government got Congress to draft and pass the Newlands Resolution in 1898, which President McKinley signed.  Since Congress has no jurisdiction to enact legislation of territorial acquisition, the annexation of Hawaii in 1898 is illegal based on US Constitutional Law.

Consequently, since no official treaty of peace or annexation exists, a state of war exists between the US and Hawaii and America's government / military presence in Hawaii as of date is illegal and can only be described as an illegal occupation.

who recognizes Hawaii as a Nation-State?

From my understanding, the Court of Arbitration in the Hague, the UN Human Rights Council, and the National Education Association (NEA).  In the case of the NEA, the illegal occupation of Hawaii by the US will be taught to American K-12, undergraduate, and graduate students, whose teachers are affiliated by the NEA.

sorry, which Nation-State recognizes Hawaii as a Nation-State?

At the risk of boring DRCK1000 and others.
At one time Hawaii was recognized as a Nation,
by some other nations.
Kind of like Texas was an independent Republic.
But most recently Hawaii voted to become a
state in the USA.
We know what happens when states try to
change their mind.   It doesn't go so well
for them.
Keep running over that flat possum in the road.
It is entertaining.

Way off topic again.

Ok, get ready for some traffic disruptions around Waikiki this afternoon.
https://www.khon2.com/local-news/aloha-aina-unity-march-for-mauna-kea-will-close-areas-around-waikiki-saturday-afternoon/

Price tag for the maunalolos is up to 8 million dollars.
I don't want to pay for this.

The protestors better start paying their share. Where are the celebs when you need their money?

If they can't pay a few million, how are they going to manage an 8 million acre mountain???
