Star-Advertiser has an article with reactions to the Akaka Bill’s failure to pass and unlikelihood of passing anytime in the near future, with the usual supporters from the senator and OHA/CNHA, and the usual right-wing opponents represented here by Bill Burgess, and includes one independence perspective at the end:
Leon Siu, minister of foreign affairs for an entity calling itself the Hawaiian Kingdom, said he is pleased the bill died.
“It is a totally inadequate remedy for the wrongs committed against the Hawaiian people and taking of the Hawaiian nation. … If the bill had passed, it would have immersed us further in the U.S. system.”
He said the real remedy is to “extricate ourselves from the U.S. system and to restore the sovereignty and independence of the Hawaiian nation.”
Mr. Siu, shame on you to suggest that US legislation can have an affect on the real and loyal subjects of Hawaii and to suggest that there is some kind a taking here.
Am I to believe that everything that has happen to my Nation rest with the choices that a foreign congress decides?
The only sovereign and independent Hawaiian nation people that need to be extricated are those who have entangled and engaged themselves with those criminals who continue to carry out these unlawful acts against Hawaii and her people today.
What part of history and the law don’t you understand and what are you trying to restore.
Keep it clear that your response will never represent the lives of me and my family. You have my email.
Right on bradda Leon! Tell it like it is: the imperialistic vampire squid is dying and we must hasten its demise. We want a FREE HAWAII and we want it NOW!
