HAWAIIANS FILE LAWSUIT AGAINST OBAMA, CLINTON

9^th Island-Las Vegas: The Deputy Foreign Minister of the Reinstated Hawaiian Government, John Keoni Jackson has announced that a Federal Lawsuit has been filed against U S President Obama, Secretary of State, Hilary Clinton and others.

KANE`OHE, HAWAIIAN ISLANDS, Dr. David Keanu Sai, a national of the Hawaiian Kingdom, filed a complaint in U.S. District Court, Washington, D.C., against President Obama, Secretary of State Clinton, Secretary of Defense Gates, Pacific Command Commander Admiral Willard and State of Hawai`i Governor Lingle. The civil case was assigned no. 1:10-CV-00899CKK. This case arises under the Alien Tort Statute and the Plaintiff filed the suit as a Hawaiian subject for injuries suffered when he was wrongfully convicted of a so-called felony by the State of Hawai`i in violation of an Executive Agreement dated January 17, 1893, referred to as the Lili`uokalani assignment. The Lili`uokalani assignment legally bound President Cleveland and his successors in office, to include President Obama, to administer Hawaiian Kingdom law, not U.S. law, by virtue of a temporary and conditional assignment of Hawaiian executive power by Queen Lili`uokalani made under a threat of war by U.S. forces that illegally landed on Hawaiian territory. This temporary and conditional assignment of Hawaiian executive power remains today in the office of the U.S. President. The Plaintiff is seeking a declaratory judgment by the Court declaring the 1898 Joint Resolution to provide for annexing the Hawaiian Islands to the United States (30 U.S. Stat. 750) to be unconstitutional under U.S. law as well as a violation of Hawaiian sovereignty, and is also seeking permanent injunctive relief, redress, restitution, disgorgement, and other equitable relief against Defendants, which includes the State of Hawai`i, for violations of the Lili`uokalani assignment and other treaties that the United States government has ratified.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Hawaiian’s Insulted, Barred & Intimated at Romney Event

Johnny (Keoni) Jackson, Executive Director of POIPAC & Deputy Foreign Minister of the Reinstated Hawaiian Government and other Hawaiians were barred from Mitt Romney event at Lawrys on Friday June 17.

After receiving an “Invitation” and responding to attend the event. Mr. Jackson was accompanied by Bernadine Kamai. “We checked in gave a young lady my name & business card we entered the event” said Mr. Jackson.

“About 10 minutes after entering, I came outside to answer some calls and check if the other 2 Hawaiians had arrived” added Mr. Jackson.

“When I tried to go back inside, a young man was at the door. All of a sudden he blocked me from going in. When I tried to explain to him that I already had been inside he became aggressive and pushed me back. At that point, the young lady who was at Sign-In desk said “ I checked off his name”. He then stated” You have to pay $2500 to go inside”. Again, the woman at the Sign-In table told him, I had already signed in. He then stated “ you have to get a name tag”, I said ok, he began herding me towards the table, pushing up against me. At that point, I said, “I am leaving, need to go inside to get my girlfriend”. He would not let me go inside to get her. “He blocked me and pushed me back again”. He then said “Call her”. He was continuing to be aggressive and assaultive.

I went outside and waited for the other Hawaiians to arrive. When they did, I told them we are not welcome here. I was then approached by an individual who identified himself as Mr. Christianson, the Romney Finance Director. He asked me what happened and I told him. He then stated, “ there is a misunderstanding, it was for a Dr. Johnny Jackson who called me and said he couldn’t make it. Please accept my apology. After checking the phone book, I found NO LISTING for a Dr. John or Johnny Jackson.

Bernadine Kamai then came out and we left. Got home and called Ryan Erwin who is involved with the Romney Campaign. I told him what happened and he said he would look into it.

This is not the first time someone from the Romney Campaign has been disrespectful to Hawaiians in Las Vegas. Three years ago at a House Party, I and some other Hawaiians were insulted by the “High Muka Muka attitude of his employees as they talked down to us.

When Governor Romney comes to campaign in Nevada, Asian-Pacific Islanders will be waiting for him and hopefully he can explain why? Governor Romney there are over 100,000 of us and you will not WIN Nevada without our support.

Aloha, From the 9^th Island

Each week we will bring you the latest from News, Politics, Community. So, please give us your Feedback, Suggestions, Ideas.

Hawaiian Word of the Month-Aloha, means hello, goodbye, I love you depending on context it is used.

Here is some Hawaiian history.

Until the 1890s the Kingdom of Hawaiʻi was an independent sovereign state, recognized by the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Japan, and Germany. Though there were threats to Hawaii's sovereignty throughout the Kingdom's history, it was not until the signing, under duress, of the Bayonet Constitution in 1887, that this threat began to be realized. On January 17, 1893, the last monarch of the Kingdom of Hawaiʻi, Queen Lili'uokalani, was deposed in a coup d'état led largely by American citizens who were opposed to Lili'uokalani's attempt to establish a new Constitution. The success of the coup efforts was supported by the landing of U.S. Marines, who came ashore at the request of the conspirators. The coup left the queen imprisoned at Iolani Palace under house arrest. The sovereignty of the Kingdom of Hawaii was lost to a Provisional Government led by the conspirators, later briefly becoming the Republic of Hawaii, before eventual annexation to the United States in 1898. One hundred years later, the U.S. Congress passed Public Law 103-150, otherwise known as the Apology Resolution,[4] signed by President Bill Clinton on November 23, 1993. The resolution[5] apologized for the U.S. Government's role in supporting the 1893 overthrow of the Kingdom of Hawaii.

The coup d'état that overthrew Queen Lili'uokalani was led by Lorrin A. Thurston, a grandson of American missionaries who derived his support primarily from the American and European business class residing in Hawaii and other supporters of the Reform Party of the Hawaiian Kingdom. Most of the leaders of the Committee of Safety which deposed the queen were American and European citizens who were also Kingdom subjects. They included legislators, government officers, and even a Supreme Court Justice of the Hawaiian Kingdom.[6]

The coup itself was relatively bloodless, with only one policeman wounded. Due to the Queen's desire "to avoid any collision of armed forces, and perhaps the loss of life" for her subjects and after some deliberation, at the urging of advisers and friends, the Queen ordered her forces to surrender. Immediate annexation was prevented by the eloquent speech given by President Grover Cleveland to Congress at this time, in which he stated that:

"the military demonstration upon the soil of Honolulu was of itself an act of war; unless made either with the consent of the government of Hawai`i or for the bona fide purpose of protecting the imperiled lives and property of citizens of the United States. But there is no pretense of any such consent on the part of the government of the queen ... the existing government, instead of requesting the presence of an armed force, protested against it. There is as little basis for the pretense that forces were landed for the security of American life and property. If so, they would have been stationed in the vicinity of such property and so as to protect it, instead of at a distance and so as to command the Hawaiian Government Building and palace. ... When these armed men were landed, the city of Honolulu was in its customary orderly and peaceful condition. ... "[7]

The Republic of Hawaii was nonetheless declared in 1894 by the same parties which had established the Provisional Government after the coerced signing of the Bayonet Constitution of 1887. Among them were Lorrin A. Thurston, a drafter of the Bayonet Constitution, and Sanford Dole who appointed himself President of the forcibly instated Republic on July 4, 1894.

The Bayonet Constitution allowed the monarch to appoint cabinet ministers, but had stripped him of the power to dismiss them without approval from the Legislature. Eligibility to vote was also altered, stipulating property value, defined in non-traditional terms, as a condition of voting eligibility. One result of this was the disenfranchisement of poor native Hawaiians and other ethnic groups who had previously had the right to vote. This guaranteed a voting monopoly by the landed aristocracy. Asians who comprised a large proportion of the population, were stripped of their voting rights as many Japanese and Chinese members of the population who had previously become naturalized as subjects of the Kingdom, subsequently lost all voting rights. Many Americans and wealthy Europeans, in contrast, acquired full voting rights at this time, without the need for Hawaiian citizenship.

Until Next Week, Aloha & Take care
