Tyranny and iwi exposed

Whyisourtuturepeatedlybeingraped by the super power U.S. Government and will you, President Obama, be a pono leader and set us free from the imperialism by the U.S.?

By Alika Pae Silva Kahu Kulaiwi, Kaa Mana, Kupukaaina a Wai'anae Wahipana, ū'ahu, Hawaiian Natianal Aloha nō 'ohana, you remember what our kūpuna visualized, practiced and taught us. Not long ago our tutu was young with enormous responsibility and promise to a nation. Her beauty was known in the entire world and her inheritance a true paradise based on the land of righteousness ! Suddenly, her life and land changed forever. She was raped brutally by someone she trusted and was in a

contract-treaty centered on justice, but the rapist who eame from afar, across the pond, tumed justice upside down for non-white people. After the night of the rape, she was taken hostage and violated again and again till we freed her from his prey. The rapist claimed she gave birth to his child. It was stillbom (new dead land), it could not live in a legal world but he, the rapist, took the child/land believing it had life and declared our tutu an unfit mother. He took her and her children hostage and into destitution and bondage. He convinced the world that his child lives and that he was the only par-

ent - loving and carrying to his fictitious child. He allowed only his story to be told to the world

about his child and what our tutu gave to h is child/land! He says the child grew up and heeame like his father - a good example for all! Great weahh was shackled and passed into the hands of the rapist and his new family, aided by his henehmen, lawyers and aeeountants and they prospered while our tutu and her descendants suffered in poverty and tyranny! Tutu knew there was no real child from the rapist and tried desperately to protect her beloved children his cruelty. She knew his abuse would eonhnue and he passed on to her descendants! Tutu's ehildren instinctively knew that there was more to their story than what the rapist was telling and only their tutu's story would be able to heal them from this tragedy and set them free. Sympathizers eame to our tutu's great-grandchildren with an apology and then they retumed with their legal document that promised to ease some of her pain and sorry. We would be allowed to sometimes visit our tutu. There was only one thing we had to do: "Sign a contracf ' so that we would never hold the rapist accountable or ask for the land and weahh that the rapist forcibly stole from our tutu or sue anyone who had help him defile her righteousness and

that of our homeland. Only then would we be allowed to hold and love her and her great-grandchil-dren and great-great-great-grand-children to eome! Remember, 'ohana, currently our tutu (our Queen, our Hawai'i, our Independent Nation State) is in bondage and is being asked to accept the Apology Resolution and now the Akaka hill! Native Hawaiian Nationals say it does not go far enough - that is an understatement! (There is more truth to be learned from an understatement; there is more to the story than is being revealed.) In fact, you ean see 'ohana, that it does now address the heinous crimes that has been committed. The rapist still occupies our tutu's house and bed, our land of righteousness, and controls every aspect of our Hawaiian society (legal, eeonomie, poliheal, educational, and religious sites). Now the Akaka bill, the foreign U.S. Corporations, and the prolonged military oeeupation believe they are safe, and above the law, privileged and they want to protect their status quo! 'Ohana, remember our tutu and kūpuna stood up for us and were loyal to you and to whom you are and to Onipa'a kākou (seek justice) from the evil-hearted rapist, maka 'ala: "Kaulana Nā Pua." I
