Anyone on this forum who knows Kuleana, also knows my political positions. I have always been a consistent broken record and have been flamed for it through the years. The only thing I hope the senior posters can come to realize is that all my rants were against the US empire, NOT against the patriots, of the American Republic, as I always tried to make clear, in my older posts.
As a Hawaiian that knows something about having their nation taken away, I sincerely sympathize with all the American patriots to date. Similar to the slow infiltration in Hawaii's government, led by US annexationists, which resulted in the overthrow of Hawaii's last Queen; the American Republic was also slowly infiltrated, by the same imperial elements, via the established political parties, which led to the suppose-to-be legal government blatantly overthrown, via a fraudulent election.
Hope is not lost, however. As in Hawaii's case, as long as there are patriots, who will not let their nations die, there is still opportunity for restoration. Empires, by nature, do not live forever and the US empire is much closer to its end than it thinks. For now, careful planning is needed to prepare, for the new anti-freedom reality that will be the norm, from now till this empire's final end. In the long-term, patriot patience is what is needed till the right time comes...
