Patriotism in isles

Patriotism ean meansomething different in the isles. There are a lot of folks here on Maui and elsewhere who have demonstrated mueh of the so-called patriotism for the United States in its past and present world-conquer-ing foreign policy by flag waving, letters, lawsuits, etc. It might be real good for those folks to think real hard about where they live. Hawai'i, under international law, the law of nations, the U.N. Charter, and historical evidence, is a militarily occupied sovereign kingdom, taken at gunpoint by U.S. military forces and eo-eon-spirators back in 1893. The conquering continues today with lawsuits past and pending that may well take away the last vestiges of Hawai'i, the money allocated to the Office of Hawaiian Affairs, the trusts and Hawaiian homelands — all established for the benefit of the subjected Hawaiian people. It is time for everyone to wake up, take action and bring some justice to the righteous cause of the kanaka maoli, the kanaka 'ē and all those who truly love Hawai'i.
