At last, a voice of reality enters this world of conquest. Some native people in North America maintain that they were never conquered but of course their voices have been ignored. Maybe we are finally reaching a time when these voices can be heard and sovereignty respected. Maybe watching genocide in "real time" in Gaza has lifted the veil of denial about the ongoing genocides conducted by "settler occupiers." Let's have this reoriented understanding inform our human interaction everywhere with mutual respect, sovereignty, cooperation and integrity.

Glad to see that Dr. Sai continues the good fight. I heard him speak at UH and he’s an excellent legal scholar. With the help of the international court system, he might just help Hawaiians regain their sovereign rights.

532 YEARS OF OCCUPATION

Because it is almost completely forgotten, and for 100% adapted in the reality of today that it was legal what happened when Columbus, as the first of all following Europeans, put his boots on the soil of the real Americans, who at the end are almost totally rooted out:

the factually European occupation of the land of the peoples of North America lasts already 532 years. These Europeans never had enough and will never have enough, not even when finally all planets in the universe are taken and marked with what they name the American flag, but which is nothing else than a European flag.

Aloha Mr. Lottaz: I am not sure if you are aware of the fact that Dr. Sai holds an American Ph.D. who is a citizen of the United States, a resident of the State of Hawaii, and an inhabitant belonging to the Occupying Power. I do agree that his work includes many truths regarding the Hawaiian Kingdom, however, he also presents misconceptions that misleads the readers. On page 485 of the book being referred to, he misleads the readers that a “group of Hawaiian subjects set up a restored government of the Hawaiian Kingdom under a Regency in accordance with the kingdom's constitutional law”, which is misleading. First of all, the members who formed the organization expressing itself to be the Regency were not “Hawaiian subjects”, they were citizens of the United States and residents of the State of Hawaii. Under international humanitarian law, Dr. Sai and the members of the Council of Regency are enemies of the Hawaiian Kingdom due their U.S. citizenry. The United States and Hawaii are in a state of an irregular war and prolonged insurrection, and the fact that Dr. Sai belongs to the Occupying Power of the United States means that he is identified as the enemy of those of us who belong to the Occupied State of the Hawaiian Kingdom. He is of the aboriginal blood, however, that does not qualify him as being a Hawaiian subject. His organization is claiming to be the successors of Queen Liliuokalani, however, it is a fraud. The organization was not formed in accordance with the “kingdoms constitutional law”. The organization claims its authority under Articles 32 and 33 of the 1864 Hawaiian constitution, however, the Articles do not apply to the current situation affecting the Hawaiian Kingdom, and the 1864 constitution was not the constitution that afforded Queen Liliuokalani her constitutional authority. The Queen ascended lawfully to the throne of the kingdom by Article 22 of the 1887 Constitution, not the 1864. Articles 32 and 33 relate to a minor heir of the throne, and do not afford American citizenry the right to form a government for the Hawaiian Kingdom. Regarding the Larsen case at the Permanent Court of Arbitration, the Tribunal had issues with the standing of the Council of Regency and its being a government of the Hawaiian Kingdom. Mr Larsen was not a national of the Council of Regency but was also a U.S. citizen. At the preliminary proceedings the members of the Council of Regency entered the Netherlands presenting U.S. Passports identifying them as Americans. The case never reached arbitration because the Tribunal could not maintain the case. In 2007 at the ceremonies for the centenary of the PCA, Mr. James Crawford identified the Council of Regency as a “indigenous group claiming identity with a deceased kingdom”. It is a fact of Hawaiian Constitutional law that the organization that is expressing itself to be the Council of Regency is a fraudulent Council of Regency suppressio veri suggestio falsi, which is formed by citizens belonging to the Occupying Power of the United States. The organization and Dr. Sai are an enemy to those of us who are inhabitants belonging to the Occupied State of the Hawaiian Kingdom who have completely separated ourselves from the United States and are operating in accordance with Hawaiian martial law with postliminium rights, and in accordance with the law of war.

Mahalo Pascal Lottaz for your concise summary of Dr. Sai's academic life work PROVING that foreign countries ALREADY recognized in the 'league of Nations' can NOT be usurped merely by another country's own congressional ACT! Lawfully (((only))) a SIGNED Treaty of Cession by BOTH countries can relinquish a county's property rights & sovereignty per international law-- which the occupier clearly ALREADY knew! US had drafted & acquired signed treaties of cession with other countries (Alaska from Russia, California from Mexico etc...) PRIOR to their efforts to take the Hawaiian Kingdom! TIME TO FLIP THE SCRIPT & GRANT HAWAIIAN KINGDOM'S FULL SOVERIGNTY RIGHTS BACK! Imua! (<--keep moving forward)

Didn't you hear. The Democrats and Republicans agreed to give Hawaii independence and remove everyone who is not at least partly indigenous Hawaiian?
