US set to discontinue depleted uranium in medium calibre ammunition

Fri, January 15, 2010 5:00:18 AM

To:	hawaiianhistory@yahoo.com

The dramatic change in policy will affect the future development of 25 mm and 30 mm rounds, which at present are used in the Bradley Fighting Vehicle and the A-10 Thunderbolt Aircraft. The A10 Thunderbolt was responsible for the majority of depleted uranium contamination in Iraq, and almost all the contamination in the Balkans. M919 25mm ammunition

ICBUW has confirmed with Maneuver Ammunition Systems – the US government body which manages ammunition procurement for the US military – that a strategic decision has been made to move away from uranium in medium calibre rounds. To this end, a $2 million clean-up programme of the facility used to test fire the 25mm M919 DU round for Bradley vehicles is nearing completion. However, another range has been retained for future testing of the 30mm PGU-14/B DU round, which is used in the A10 Thunderbolt. Any site in the US where radioactive materials are present needs to obtain a Radioactive Material Handling License, usually from the State Government. For ranges where uranium rounds can be tested, licenses are significantly more difficult to obtain than those for handling or manufacturing ammunition. It is not clear whether the capability now remains for either round to be manufactured, or whether the US is confident that it has sufficient stockpiles of them to cover its future requirements. Whatever the answer, the clean-up makes further development of uranium rounds considerably less likely. PGU 14/B 30mm ammunition

Maneuver Ammunition Systems were not willing to single out a single reason for the policy change, but indicated that environmental considerations were a factor, alongside more prosaic issues such as the penetrating capability of uranium, and the precautions that must be taken when manufacturing uranium weapons. Under the site license for the M919 range, there was a requirement to commence clean-up by a certain date. A number of privately owned sites previously involved in the manufacture of uranium weapons have failed to be decontaminated by their owners leaving the considerable cost of decontamination to the US taxpayer. There is little information in the public domain about how well uranium penetrators perform against penetrators made from other materials, but it may be that any difference was outweighed by the costs and difficulties associated with opening and running a new facility for manufacturing uranium rounds. However, the global campaign against uranium weapons will certainly have been one of the factors under consideration. In May 2008, the US Army Environmental Policy Unit recommended an acceleration in the development of alternatives to uranium and predicted increased political pressure over the issue. As well as the obvious opposition of countries affected by uranium weapons, a number of allies object to their use in joint operations, and for these reasons US forces restrict their use in certain theatres. However, there is no room for complacency. Although this development is undoubtedly positive, it is impossible to predict whether the change could be reversed under different circumstances. The US remains fully committed to uranium in large calibre 120 mm rounds – in March 2009 it solicited bids for the production and development of the M829E4, the 4th version of the armour-piercing round for the Abrams tank, with the stipulation that the penetrator was to be made of uranium. Furthermore the M919 and PGU-14/B are likely to remain in the US arsenal for several years. A-10 Thunderbolt

The PGU-14/B is standard ammunition for the A-10, usually used in a ratio of 5-1 in concert with the PGU-13/B high explosive round. Under current US Air Force plans, the A-10 is due to be replaced by the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, which will be equipped with a new 25 mm round. The timetable for this change is not settled, and the suitability of the replacement is questioned in some quarters. As such, development of the ammunition for the F-35 is at an early stage, but Maneuver Ammunition Systems have confirmed that it is intended to be made of an alternative material, and that a decision has been taken to discontinue using uranium penetrators in medium calibre rounds. Overseas partners in the F35 project have previously expressed concerns over the proposed use of uranium in the ammunition for its main cannon and have sought permission to develop alternatives for domestic use. Bradley AFV

It is not clear at this stage whether a non-uranium armour piercing round will be put into service for the Bradley Fighting Vehicle. There are no plans to replace the Bradley as yet, and the Federal Budget for 2010 puts aside $526 million for upgrading 353 Bradleys. At present the M242 gun on the Bradley can fire both the M919 and the M792 high explosive round, switching between the two with a simple mechanism. Several tungsten-based armour-piercing rounds are also available at this calibre, and it may be that one of these is brought in to replace the M919. Despite these uncertainties, the long-term implications of this change are profound. The A-10 in particular, was responsible for 232 tonnes of the uranium fired in the 1991 Gulf War, and all of the incidences of it being used in the Balkans; it has also been deployed in Afghanistan. When the M919 and PGU-14/B are eventually removed from service, uranium in kinetic energy rounds will be restricted to the large guns in main battle tanks. Furthermore, the choice by the most vociferous user of uranium weapons to switch to alternative materials shows that claims of the unique penetrating power of uranium are overblown. ICBUW will continue to challenge these claims, and to campaign for a complete international treaty ban on the use of uranium in all conventional weapons.

Subject: [livingnation] Critical Mana`o on H.R. 2314 Sponsored by Abercrombie

Kauanui’s Comments on Three Key Points Re: H.R. 2314, The Native Hawaiian Government Reorganization Act of 2009, Passed by the U.S. House Committee on Natural Resources on December 16, 2009 (Introduced by Rep. Abercrombie) :

THE NAME OF THE BILL ITSELF PERPETUATES A LIE

Why is the bill called the “Native Hawaiian Government Reorganization Act” instead of “The Native Hawaiian Government Organization Act”? To name this legislation in this way misconstrues the government to government relationship the United States had with the Kingdom, which was distinctly different from the nation-to-nation relationship between the United States and tribal nations within what are now known as the 48 contiguous states. Under the U.S. Constitution, the Hawaiian Kingdom was regarded as a foreign nation, an independent sovereign state. The bill offensively refers to the treaties between the U.S.A. and the Hawaiian Kingdom to try and claim Native Hawaiians as a Native Nation with the special political and legal relationship to the U.S.A. like the relationship the U.S. government asserts in relation to tribal nations. This bill attempts to graft our political genealogy of independence onto a different political lineage with regard to how the U.S.A. treats “Indian tribes” and “foreign nations” differently under U.S. law.

DO PROPONENTS OF THE BILL UNDERSTAND SECTION 8?

This section titled “Reaffirmation of delegation of federal authority, negotiation, claims” reaffirms the U.S. government’s position that it delegates U.S. authority to the State of Hawai`i to address condition of Native Hawaiians under the Hawai`i state admissions act. With regard to negotiations, this section specifies that after the Native Hawaiian governing entity is created, both the United States and the State of Hawaii may enter into negotiations with the Native Hawaiian governing entity. This sets the bill apart from other forms of federal recognition of Native Nations, which do not typically allow the state into any part of the negotiations with the exception of matters related to Indian gaming.

In this bill, the state of Hawai`i is allowed to sit at the table to negotiate over matters including: the transfer of lands, natural resources, and other assets, and the protection of existing rights related to such lands or resources; the exercise of governmental authority over any transferred lands, natural resources, and other assets, including land use; the exercise of civil and criminal jurisdiction; the delegation of governmental powers and authorities to the Native Hawaiian governing entity by the United States and the State of Hawaii; any residual responsibilities of the United States and the State of Hawaii; and grievances regarding assertions of historical wrongs committed against Native Hawaiians by the United States or by the State of Hawaii.

Notice that none of these things are guaranteed in the bill—no land, no jurisdiction, no assets, no governmental power. They are all up for negotiation once representatives of a Native Hawaiian governing entity sit down with the federal and state agents. There is no equal footing here. All negotiations must take place within the framework of U.S. federal law and policy with regard to Indian tribes and under U.S. plenary power, where the U.S.A. asserts total and complete power.

This section of the bill also includes a disclaimer that states that nothing in the Act can

create a cause of action against the United States or any other entity or person, nor alter “existing law, including existing case law, regarding obligations on the part of the United States or the State of Hawaii with regard to Native Hawaiians or any Native Hawaiian entity.” Further more, it states that nothing in the bill can create any new obligation to Native Hawaiians under federal law. It also specifically outlines and protects the federal government through sovereign immunity to prevent lawsuits for breach of trust, land claims, resource-protection or resource-management claims, or similar types of claims brought by or on behalf of Native Hawaiians or the Native Hawaiian governing entity.

It also protects the state of Hawai`i by asserting that it “retains its sovereign immunity, unless waived in accord with State law, to any claim, established under any source of law, regarding Native Hawaiians that existed prior to the enactment of this Act.”

DO PROPONENTS OF THE BILL UNDERSTAND SECTION 9?

This section titled “Applicability of Certain Federal Laws,” clarifies that certain laws pertaining to federally recognized Indian tribes would not apply to the Native Hawaiian governing entity. Note that all of these laws that exclude the Native Hawaiian governing entity happen to be laws that greatly benefit tribal nations. The Native Hawaiian governing entity would not be allowed to claim rights under Indian Gaming Regulatory Act. The Native Hawaiian governing entity would not be allowed to have the Secretary of the Interior shall not take land into trust on behalf of the native Hawaiian governing entity. This is important because only land held in trust by the federal government on behalf of Native Nations is allowed to be used by Indian tribes as part of their sovereign land base where they can assert jurisdiction. The Native Hawaiian governing entity would not be allowed to rely on The Indian Trade and Intercourse Act to challenge how the State of Hawaii acquired the Hawaiian Kingdom Crown and Government Lands . No other Native Hawaiian group would be eligible for recognition under the Federal Acknowledgment Process. The Native Hawaiian governing entity would not be eligible for Indian Programs and Services

Most notably, this section of the bill (e) states that “Nothing in this Act alters the civil or criminal jurisdiction of the United States or the State of Hawaii over lands and persons within the State of Hawaii .” It further states that “The status quo of Federal and State jurisdiction can change only as a result of further legislation, if any, enacted after the conclusion, in relevant part, of the negotiation process established in section 8(b).” In other words, when the representatives of the Native Hawaiian governing entity sit at the table to negotiate with the federal and state agents, they cannot negotiate for and civil or criminal jurisdiction over any land. In order to do so, there would need to be more legislation passed.

Subject: [livingnation] Kauanui: Understanding both versions of the Akaka bill

Understanding both versions of the Akaka bill

By J. Kēhaulani Kauanui

When the U.S. Congress resumes business later this month, the “Akaka bill” will be back on the table in both the House and the Senate. This controversial proposal, officially named The Native Hawaiian Government Reorganization Act, was first introduced by U.S. Senator Daniel Akaka (D-HI) in 2000. Since then it has gone through numerous revisions to appease conservative opposition, especially during George W. Bush‘s presidency. But with the Obama administration in the White House, and Democrats holding the majority in Congress, the bill has a strong chance of passage. The Senate Committee on Indian Affairs passed a newly amended version on December 17, 2009, with changes developed by the Department of Justice in conjunction with the state Office of Hawaiian Affairs, The Council for Native Hawaiian Advancement, and the Native Hawaiian Bar Association meant to improve it. The day before, U.S. Congressman Neil Abercrombie had tried to pass the same heavily amended version of H.R.2314 in the House Committee on natural resources, but last minute letters of opposition from Hawaii’s Republican governor, Linda Lingle, prompted him to set aside the proposed revisions (no surprise that he backed off since he had already announced his plans to resign his seat next month to run for governor himself) and the committee passed the unamended version.

Although the House bill could be amended later to conform to the amended Senate version, the fact remains there are two different versions in the works. What difference does it even matter to those who oppose the Akaka Bill and federal recognition for Kanaka Maoli (Indigenous Hawaiians)?

The Senate version potentially gives the Native Hawaiian Governing Entity (NHGE) more power than the House version. In H.R.2314, Section 9, the bill titled “Applicability of Certain Federal Laws,” clarifies that certain laws pertaining to federally recognized Indian tribes would not apply to the NHGE, and they all happen to be the same laws that greatly benefit tribal nations. Perhaps the most important exclusion is that the NHGE would not be allowed to have the Secretary of the Interior take land into trust. This is important because only land held in trust by the federal government on behalf of tribal nations is allowed to be used as part of their sovereign land base where they can assert jurisdiction. Most notably, this section of the bill also states that “Nothing in this Act alters the civil or criminal jurisdiction of the United States or the State of Hawaii over lands and persons within the State of Hawaii .”

The Senate version does not make the same stipulation from the get go. S. 1011 states that the NHGE, the federal government, and the state “may enter into negotiations” that are “designed to lead to an agreement” addressing: land, governmental authority, the exercise of criminal and civil jurisdiction, and more. None of these are guaranteed in the bill-no land, no jurisdiction, no assets, no governmental power. They are all up for grabs (and we know who will grab what) once representatives of a NHGE sit down with the federal and state agents. There is no equal footing here; all negotiations must take place within the framework of U.S. federal law and policy with regard to Indian tribes.

This means that although S. 1011 seems better that H.R 2314 on the face of it, and Abercrombie says he wants to amend H.R. 2314 to make it identical to S. 1011, the outcome could end up looking the same either way, which is why there is substantial Kanaka Maoli opposition to the legislation.

The name of the bill itself perpetuates at lie. It’s called the “Native Hawaiian Government Reorganization Act” instead of “The Native Hawaiian Government Organization Act,” which misconstrues the government to government relationship the United States had with the Hawaiian Kingdom . Under the U.S. Constitution, the Hawaiian Kingdom was regarded as a foreign nation (and not an “Indian Tribe“) because the U.S. recognized the Kingdom as an independent sovereign state.

Nobel Peace Price winner scorns north Korean peace offer

Peace is “not what we’re offering,” says U.S. secretary of state

By Stephen Gowans

North Korea recently let Washington know that it will dismantle its nuclear weapons if the United States signs a formal peace treaty ending the Korean War. This, offered Pyongyang, could be negotiated through bilateral talks between the United States and north Korea.

Alternatively, Pyongyang said it was prepared to return to six-nation talks, aimed at denuclearizing the Korean peninsula, if the United Nations removes the sanctions it imposed after north Korea launched a satellite and conducted a nuclear test.

North Korea regards the sanctions as unjust, and with good reason – they are. Neither the satellite launch nor the nuclear test were illegal under international law.

As intelligence agencies rush to connect more dots on a page so crowded with dots that they already almost touch, Americans need to focus on the real problem, our foreign policies. We have made ourselves the enemy of over a billion people, nearly a quarter of the world’s population. . .

As many Muslims see it, Washington kills innocent civilians all the time. American hypocrisy enrages them almost more than our bombs, no matter how much we claim that we only aim at bad guys.–Jon Basil Utley, “Too Many Dots, Too Many Enemies,” antiwar.com, January 12, 2010

It was Osama bin Laden himself, in his declaration of war in 1998, published in London, who gave al-Qaeda’s reasons for war:

First, the U.S. military presence on the sacred soil of Saudi Arabia. Second, U.S. sanctions causing terrible suffering among the Iraqi people. Third, U.S. support for Israel’s dispossession of the Palestinians. “All these crimes and sins committed by the Americans are a clear declaration of war on God, his Messenger, and Muslims,” said Osama. . .

America lost 4,000 soldiers in six years in Iraq, with 30,000 wounded. Yet not one American of the 125,000 soldiers in Iraq was killed in December. Why not? Because we no longer conduct raids, patrol streets, kick down doors, and pat down suspects. We have ended our combat operations, withdrawn to desert bases, and seem anxious to go home. When we stopped fighting and killing them, they stopped fighting and killing us. . . .

Why are the Taliban killing our soldiers? Because we threw them out of power, took over their country, and imposed the Hamid Karzai regime, and our troops, some 100,000 by fall, are the force preventing them from recapturing their country. . . .

Hamas has used terrorism, but not against us. Hezbollah has used terrorism, but not against us since the bombing of the Marine barracks, a quarter-century ago. And our Marines were attacked in Lebanon because we were in Lebanon, intervening in their civil-sectarian war.–Patrick J. Buchanan, “Why Are They at War With Us?,” antiwar.com, January 12, 2010

The American colossus continues to stumble ever deeper into the Muslim world’s violent, tangled affairs at a time when Washington is bankrupt and only runs on Chinese loans. In 2009, the U.S. deficit was $1.4 trillion US.

American soldiers are fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq. U.S. special forces, air units and CIA mercenaries are involved in combat operations in Pakistan, Somalia, Yemen, West Africa, North Africa and the Philippines. A new U.S. base at Djibouti is launching raids into Yemen, Somalia and northern Kenya. U.S. forces aided the failed Ethiopian invasion of Somalia. New U.S. bases are planned in oil-producing West Africa.

The Red Sea littoral is America’s next major headache. Somalia’s anti-western Shebab movement controls much of that nation’s south and centre. Yemen is a hotbed of jihadist activity that increasingly threatens neighbouring Saudi Arabia, a vital American ally. Somali pirates could turn from plundering to striking at western interests.–Eric Margolis, “How bin Laden lured U.S. into costly, bloody war,” Toronto Sun, January 10, 2010

Aloha amelia,

We were sitting in a room the size of a cockpit, and the stress level was herrendous. Like Lauren I too had the same treatment. I did think of her a lot while I was there. Please let her know. I did raise the cause of radiation exposure as the cause of high birth defects in Hawaii. I put a Hawaii stat data chart on the monitor. I said, I showed that the stats of birth defects are rising.

I was fortunate that Ku Ching came to the rescue, I got the case from him and ‘time honored’. I knew that I was at a lost because of the lack of support from Oahu. There so American’ized and blinded by their own super ego. As you can see I am burning bridges. I thank you with all my heart for being there, I understood why you were eliminated the eve of the videoconferenceing. They don’t have jurisdiction. The land belongs to the crown! And the only way for them to exist in there Pacific expansionism or manifest destiny is to continue raping Tutu Pele. But, she’ll always fan her plumage across the achipelago for time imemorial (sp). I just wish we had a spell checker.

Pono and I walked down the hill in Waipio that night we had dinner with Ku Kahakalau and her family. So I had my pre meeting of the minds before the NRC conferenecing.

Pono spent a lot of time with Soli, Albertini, and Ku’s husband, I had to skim through readings and try to figure out how not to get into entrapments of Lic. to posses radioactive DU and permitting to continue to spread this radioactive material throughout the archipelago.

I spent some time with family and I was told that they have Dr. in Waiamea that operates on peoples lungs frequently. Ones lungs has air pockets and this air pocket fills up. One has to have two ribs cracked before this air pocket can be operated on. Good grief!

I did mess up a few times, you know that should’dah, could’dah, don’nah stuff. I was surprised that the NRC staff acted as if they were having a university Mock Court. Nothing was real to them–it was all retorical and unorthodoxy. We had so much restriction put on us it was almost impossible to even answer their questions. The military did mention Tad Daves Secretary Assitant for the DOD, stupid explanation as to why the truckers are moving dirt from military installations. This is where I messed up, I was asked if these tons of dirt were being moved to a private dump site and I should have said yes, instead I said no. How stupid!

What everyone don’t understand that I’m in the middle of a civil war out here in Waianae. People are desparate, we have American poverty and the likes. Violence happens out here and the governing entities do take advantage of this energy. Kaohi

I am convinced that if we are to get on the right side of the world revolution, we as a nation must undergo a radical revolution of values. We must rapidly begin the shift from a “thing-oriented” society to a “person-oriented” society. When machines and computers, profit motives and property rights are considered more important than people, the giant triplets of racism, materialism, and militarism are incapable of being conquered. Rev. Martin Luther King – http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article2564.htm

“I never submitted the whole system of my opinions to the creed of any party of men whatever, in religion, in philosophy, in politics or in anything else, where I was capable of thinking for myself. Such an addiction is the last degradation of a free and moral agent. If I could not go to Heaven but with a party, I would not go there at all.” — Thomas Jefferson – (1743-1826), US Founding Father, drafted the Declaration of Independence, 3rd US President

Afghan Govt. Demands Arrest of US “Death Squad”
Who handcuffed, executed 8 children. US refuses

By Carl Herman

Kai Eide, UN Representative to Afghanistan confirmed the Afghan government’s investigative conclusions that US troops handcuffed and then executed eight students enrolled in grades 6 through 10 in a night raid on December 27, 2009. The US military and NATO responded the troops involved were non-official. The most likely source of para-military “non-official” troops in Afghanistan is Blackwater/Xe.

The Battle for the American Soul is Over and Jay Leno Won

Debt, stress and insecurity being the only observable characteristics of middle class America, they rally round those things in a show of class solidarity.

CLAIMING YOUR ANCESTORS LANDS — ALLODIAL ISSUES…..

The following article was posted in the IOLANI – The Royal Hawk.

This message is being sent again because the EXHIBIT section was not covered.

The legal documents should contain the following in the following order:

1) Cover page (covers ancestors name, RP/Royal Patent Number, LCA/ Land Commission Award number

2) Affidavit/Certification (family genealogies)

3) Heirs and Assigns page

4) EXHIBITS (Write EXHIBITS in top right hand corner):
a. RP/Royal Patent LCA/Land Commission Award brief history (shows names of deceased owners and successors)
b. Survey Notes (obtain from the Archives, Honolulu, Oahu, Hawaii) which shows the map, dimensions of the land(s). (ask the Archivist how to obtain your survey notes….. also ask how to look at the books available documenting awards from the Great Mahele/ Kamehameha III period, an extra step to take is to find out the testimonies in regards to the parcel(s)/lands belonging to your families.

5) JURAT, NOTARY page

6) Xerox two (2) or more sets. The notary usually wants to do only two (2) for a set. If more copies are needed for family members, you could make copies after the notary signs the documents, and even after the filing is completed.

7) obtain a notary signature from your Credit Union, bank — First Hawaiian Bank has a preferred customer account that you may be able to qualify for……worth it because the cost of a Notary will be nothing/free……….at the Credit Unions and some banks also give free notary signature……cousin paid about $50 a couple of weeks ago —$5 per notary signature.

8) take the two (2) sets of documents to the Bureau of Conveyances, Regular System section and pay $25 for a set which covers up to 20 pages. Any amount of pages over 20 will cost $1 per page.

9) The Bureau of Conveyances located on Punchbowl Street is open in the mornings till 3:30 p.m. They do not accept documents later than that time. (Mondays-Fridays (Holidays closed)).

Pursuant to the ASLBP’s December 17, 2009 order, I have attached a Schofield Barracks and PTA map showing the installation boundaries, the areas within the installation where DU is known or suspected, and also some distances from these locations to the boundary of the military installation.

These files were kept to 1MB and below and in .pdf format so that hopefully all Petitioners can easily download and review.

Re: Kingdom of Hawaii – Records. No. 2009-0327 Legal Notice – Depleted Uranium and other Contaminants banned on our families lands January 5, 2009 – Official Notice by Amelia Gora, a Royal person and Acting Liaison of Foreign Affairs

This notice is to inform you that on this day, January 5, 2009, you “includes everyone occupying our families properties, also known as the Crown Lands and wrongfully, criminally claimed as the ceded lands and occupying/belligerently occupying our private properties” are hereby given notice that you are hereby banned from authorizing, conveying, acknowledging, allowing the occupying military, et. als. from holding, using, spreading, contaminating our private properties on the Hawaiian archipelago from this day forward.

The Kingdom of Hawaii/Hawaiian Kingdom/Hawaiian Islands/Hawaiian archipelago/He Mokupuni Pae Aina o Hawaii government along with the Royal families remain a neutral, non-violent, friendly nation which did go “underground”. The owners of these lands exist, including I, Amelia Gora, who did oppose DU/depleted uranium in Hawaii along with Jim Albertini, Isaac Harp, Luwella Leonardi, etals. and have spoken with people at the NRC who did approve my electronic file number over the phone……and the number was approved till November of 2010.

The Administrative process continues; however, the owners ban to not allow the use of DU/depleted uranium on our private properties supercedes the requests by a belligerent occupier the right to possess.

As one of the descendants of Kauikeaouli/Kamehameha III’s adopted children, I, Amelia Gora, hereby demand that you cease and desist your activities of harming all on our lands, our citizenry including our families, our kanaka maoli/aboriginal Hawaiians, the U.S. citizens, and our friendly foreign visitors from foreign nations who are all innocents in these matters.

Payments for our families land use has not been received by our proper parties, and the following past notice of Eviction was posted to your President Obama, military, governor who fails to comply.

It is not O.K. to utilize nuclear weapons here and total removal of all nuclear warfare from, in, around our lands is expected.

The decay of the American structure appears to be had by the Nuclear Regulatory group which perseveres to play a role in terminating the lives of innocents/Plundering Upon Innocents and operates under the controls of others.

I ask/suggest/demand that you cease and desist immediately.

If you fail to do so, all nations will see the continued wickedness, the nature of the U.S., a true terrorist nation, etc. I say this due to the fact that I intervened in the Pearl Harbor Condemnation case and witnessed the fact and have the documentations of a FRAUD DEED entered in the claims over the Halawa Ahupuaa which was used in claiming PEARL HARBOR — I have the evidence entered by the attorneys for the Kamehameha Schools Bishop Estates/Kamehameha Schools/Trustees which shows a FRAUD deed of King David Kalakaua deed to two deceased ancestors of ours: Mataio Kekuanaoa who died in 1868, and Grace Kamaikui who died in 1866…..the FRAUD deed was dated 1876 or 8-9 years AFTER they died. In other words, the U.S. criminal claim to PEARL HARBOR was based on a FRAUD, and many INNOCENTS died needlessly including those in the MARSHALL ISLANDS; HIROSHIMA, JAPAN; NAGASAKI, JAPAN; including our Hawaiian Islands due to tests on the island of Kahoolawe; the practice areas in NEVADA, etc.

We have done no wrongs to you, it was the your government that “breached the Laws of Nations” documented our Queen/
Queen Liliuokalani in 1893.

Sincerely,

Amelia Gora, a Royal person (a
Kamehameha descendant/heir; a

Subject: Report on today’s Hilo Vets parade of Strykers, Humvees, etc.

Aloha kakou,
About 40-50 people in total turned out, during the nearly 3 and l/2 hour protest at today’s Hilo Veterans Parade. The protest focus was the U.S. illegal wars of aggression and occupation in Iraq and Afghanistan and the military including vehicles from Pohakuloa Training Area (PTA) recently returned from Iraq. Among those present were Kanaka Maoli leaders, Kelii, “Skippy” Ioane, a Vietnam vet, Moanikeala Akaka, Moana Tavares, and Noelani Mason, who together with David Schlesinger and others were broadcasting the protest live on Youthbuiltmedia.com. Also joining the protest was 95 year old Don Swergfegger, a retired methodist minister. About l500 leaflets were distributed to people along the parade route and even some parade participants. The leaflet was entitled “Help Protect Veterans & Public Health.” It warned about the dangers of possible DU contamination of the military vehicles in the Hilo parade.
PTA’s commanding officer, Lt. Col. Warline Richardson’s words that there would be no mobile weapon systems on military vehicles in todays’ parade turned out to be false Two command Stryker vehicles at the end of the parade (just in front of the ending firetruck) were preceded by several Humvees armed with machine guns. It’s interesting that the Strykers and Humvees were placed at the end of the parade, even though we stated clearly we had no intent of blocking such vehicles. The military obviously did not believe us. They made sure that if we attempted to block the Strykers it would only block them and not the rest of the parade. It should also be noted that members of a right wing citizen group called “The Eagles” were walking as escorts for the Strykers and there were several Hawaii County police on bicycles also acting as a security escort for the Strykers.
The Strykers and Humvees, recently returned from Iraq, are currently training at the PTA in the center of our island home that is officially acknowledged to be contaminated with DU. Hawaii’s Stryker brigade is training for redeployment to either Iraq or Afghanistan. These vehicles participated in the Hilo parade in violation of Army Regulation 700-48 according to Doug Rokke, PH.D. Major, retired U.S. Army, and Director U.S. Army Depleted Uranium (DU) Project. Rokke says: “Any and all combat vehicles and equipment (everything) returned from Iraq should be prohibited from any civilian area. (including this parade) A standard wash rack is useless for decontamination… Army regulation 700-48, section 2-4 requires isolation from all human contact. Even after extensive depot level cleaning I found DU, and other radiological, chemical and biological contamination in vehicles years later. The gross contamination of equipment, vehicles, terrain, air, water, soil and food is reflected in, and verified by the hundreds of thousands of US casualties with serious medical problems that are unrelated to bullets or bombs, but are directly related to all of these toxic exposures. Hawaii’s isolated and pristine environment should not be exposed to, and consequently placed in danger through, any exposure to any of the contaminants brought back by the US military from war zones.”
All in all, the day of leafleting and protest went very well. There was minimal hostility. The leaflet was crafted to focus on protecting Veterans and Public Health. Who can be against that? We had a very good location for the protest and even many of the vets in the parade gave positive thumbs up signals to many of our signs such as: “No War Surge,” “Protect the Troops from DU,” “Aloha Means Peace,” “Stop the Wars,” and “End Occupations.” Clearly the current wars are not popular even at a veterans parade. And the fact that the Strykers — the modern chariots of empire, had to be placed last in the parade and be under right wing (Eagle) and police escort, was a sign of the military’s unpopular status as occupier of the independent nation of Hawaii

Greetings,

The above contains more information regarding my families genealogies……..I am claiming lineal heirship to the Kawaihae artifacts as well as being part of the Hawaiian Genealogy Society.

Multiples of claims have been submitted in 2008, etc. as well with a copy posted to your office.

Another claimant did claim as an heir and to date has never stated that I’m part of his family. Also, I don’t know how he is directly connected to me or my family as a descendant of Peke Davis
and as a descendant of Abigail Kapooloku/Princess Poomaikelani.

Therefore, the families, the direct descendants of John Young the awardees of the Kawaihae lands includes my personal claims, and some of the families who are part of the Hawaiian Genealogy Society
and whose claims supercedes all of the others, including the recent claimants.

Thank you for your assistance in these matters.

Sincerely,

Amelia Gora, descendant of Peke Davis, Princess Poomaikelani, Nuuanu (documented lineal descendant) Kalaniopuu, Keliimaikai, Kamehameha et. als.
Heir of Luluhiwalani, Kalola, et. als.

p.s. I have done a thorough research on our Peke Davis line, and she had two (2) sons who were co-heirs of her lands.

hi Keola,

Response from ‘your organization’…..I did respond as a bloodline descendant, a person not organization…..also am part of a group of bloodline descendants recognized as the Hawaiian Genealogy Society/Hawaiian Geneology Society affiliated with the Kingdom of Hawaii, not the so called entity ‘State of Hawaii’ occupying our families seats. Admission of criminal wrongdoing was documented by U.S. President Clinton in P.L. 103-150

John Young’s descendants exist…….and you too are occupying/utilizing lands that has true owners existing.

The initial contact was already made in regards to claiming of the iwi, etc.

You and the U.S. government have no jurisdiction over our families iwi, etc.

Just because you(and others) wrote a book about the iwi, objects, etc. doesn’t make you (and others) or earn a right in maintaining claims over them.

I grant you (and others) no jurisdiction over our families iwi, etc……..Hands off/ Kapu.

Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Claim(s) are outside of the U.S. jurisdiction.

If you don’t know by now, the U.S. President, Congress, etals. have no jurisdiction outside of the 300 miles from the contiguous U.S. (See 1993 Supreme Court Judges ruling on the duties of the President, Congress, etals.)

Consider this as an opposition for your occupation and wrongful touching, handling of iwi, objects, etc. that are not yours.

Sincerely,

Amelia Kuulei Gora, one of Kalaniopuu’s, Kamehameha’s, John Young’s, Isaac Davis, Peke Davis, Nuuanu’s, Princess Poomaikelani’s, etals. descendants, and one of the representatives of the Hawaiian Genealogy Society/Hawaiian Geneology Society since 1995.

Aloha Amelia,

have

been
actively consulting with various Native Hawaiian Organizations. We will
soon be at a point where we will be publishing a Notice of Intent to
Repatriate in the Federal Register. Once this notice is published other
Native Hawaiian Organizations have 30 days to make a claim with our office.
This email is to inform you of where we are at in the process and to check
and see if you are still interested in pursuing your NAGPRA claim as a
lineal descendant submitted in 2000. You may respond via email or feel
free to call me at (808) 985-6141.

hi Keola,

Response from “your organization”…..I did respond as a bloodline descendant, a person not organization…..also am part of a group of bloodline descendants recognized as the Hawaiian Genealogy Society/Hawaiian Geneology Society affiliated with the Kingdom of Hawaii, not the so called entity ‘State of Hawaii’ occupying our families seats. Admission of criminal wrongdoing was documented by U.S. President Clinton in P.L. 103-150

John Young’s descendants exist…….and you too are occupying/utilizing lands that has true owners existing.

The initial contact was already made in regards to claiming of the iwi, etc.

You and the U.S. government have no jurisdiction over our families iwi, etc.

Just because you(and others) wrote a book about the iwi, objects, etc. doesn’t make you (and others) or earn a right in maintaining claims over them.

I grant you (and others) no jurisdiction over our families iwi, etc……..Hands off/ Kapu.

Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Claim(s) are outside of the U.S. jurisdiction.

Consider this as an opposition for your occupation and wrongful touching, handling of iwi, objects, etc. that are not yours.

Sincerely,

— On Thu, 5/29/08, Keola_Awong@nps.gov wrote:

Memorandum and Order, January 7, 2010, Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Atomic Safety and Licensing Board “DEPLETED URANIUM PROCEEDING, JANUARY 13, HILO, HAWAI’I”
Posted by Pono Kealoha on January 9, 2010 at 5:11am

PRESS RELEASE
Cory Harden
PO Box 10265, Hilo, Hawai’i 96721
808-968-8965
mh@interpac.net
For immediate release
January 8, 2010, Hilo, Hawai’i
Attachment:
Memorandum and Order, January 7, 2010, Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Atomic Safety and Licensing Board
DEPLETED URANIUM PROCEEDING, JANUARY 13, HILO, HAWAI’I
A legal proceeding on an Army application for a depleted uranium (DU) license will be held Wednesday, January 13, from 9 AM to about 3 PM, by videoconference between Hilo, Hawai’i and Rockville, Maryland.
The proceeding is oral argument on standing and contention admissibility before the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) regarding hearing requests by four petitioners: Jim Albertini
of Malu Aina Center for Non-violent Education & Action, Cory Harden, and
Isaac Harp, all from Hawai’i Island, and Luwella Leonardi of O’ahu.
The Army denied having DU in Hawai’i until 2006, when citizen groups obtained information from Army e-mails, then announced the Army found DU spotting rounds the previous year at Schofield Barracks on the island of O’ahu. The spotting
rounds were from a classified Davy Crockett weapon system used in the 1960s. The
Army acknowledged the find, and later also found spotting rounds at Pohakuloa
Training Area (PTA) on Hawai‘i Island. The rounds were also distributed to
twelve other states and three foreign countries in the 1960s. There were about
75,000 rounds, each about eight inches long and containing about six and a half
ounces of DU alloy.
“It’s unclear whether the Army didn’t know, or didn’t tell, that it had DU in Hawai’i,” says Harden. “But it is clear that information about military hazards in Hawai’i is unreliable.”
Albertini and Harden say that Army searches, reports, and air monitoring plans for DU at PTA are inadequate, so airborne DU from live-fire and dummy bombs impacting undiscovered spotting rounds may go undetected. The same
concerns have been expressed by a geologist, a consultant to Los Alamos National
Laboratory, and a former Army doctor who is a consultant to the World Health
Organization, all from Hawai‘i.
Albertini and Harden call for a search of classified and unclassified records by all military forces in Hawai’i for other forgotten radioactive hazards. Harden asks why an Army report cites a 1996 document about a Davy Crockett DU
spotting round at Schofield, when the first find was supposedly in 2005.
Albertini says reports of animal tumors around PTA should be investigated, and says the Army has ignored Hawai‘i County Council resolutions concerning DU.
Albertini and Harp say the Army has not fully disclosed the extent of its DU use in Hawai’i. Harp says there are high cancer rates around PTA, says the Army has violated Federal law, and calls for removal of DU munitions and waste from
Hawai’i.
Leonardi says the Army excavated contaminated soil at Schofield, then transported and deposited it near her home, impacting health in her community.
Due to the limited size of the videoconference room at the University of Hawai’i at Hilo, the public may not attend. However the proceeding will appear via live webcast at
http://www.visualwebcaster.com/event.asp?id=65044. The webstream will be available for

viewing for up to 90 days, and a transcript of the hearing will be posted on the ADAMS system on the NRC website.
A decision on the proceeding is anticipated in February.

Understanding the Hawaiian approach to U.S. Occupation
Understanding the Hawaiian approach to U.S. Occupation

Often U.S. Americans will contrive arguments, whether real or no, based on their way of thinking rather than understanding the point of view of the native Hawaiian and other Hawaii nationals of the Kingdom of Hawai’i. This leads to misunderstanding between the two factions and Hawaiians are put on the defense more often than not. The U.S. is a racists ethnocentric WASP mainstream society which conducts its Manifest Destiny doctrines; while the Kingdom of Hawai’i is a Polynesian-Hawaiian mainstream open society.

It’s common knowledge that U.S. Americans have very little knowledge of the Kingdom of Hawaii and perceive it under their racist doctrines which they have been raised within their country. Being inbred with this doctrine is how they perceive the world. Saying we hate the haole (foreigner) is a great mistake; especially when one sees that the most ethnically mixed group in the world is the Hawaiian.

The issue is egregiously misplaced whereby many U.S. Americans think it is an ethnic-racist thing when it is far from the truth. This is a national issue due to the unlawful U.S. military occupation with its civlian arm of governance. Many misuse the word to mean white people when in fact we are referring to a foreigner who happens to be illegally occupying our country. According to the laws of occupation, all U.S. Americans in Hawaii are violating those international laws.

In Hawaii, forced assimilation and compliance is taught in its schools. Those that profess to hate haoles grew up not knowing the source of those feelings and many U.S. Americans take it to mean just white people; thus it was assumed it was a racial issue. When one looks at the source, then much of it makes sense.

Many of us do not have ancestors that entered the U.S. from Ellis island to be U.S. Americans and none who were Hawaiian subjects ever naturalized to the U.S. That doesn’t mean that there aren’t those with U.S. parentage who are proud U.S. Americans as they should be; the privilege of dual citizenship is something to be proud of; just as being multi-ethnic. Since Hawaiian Kingdom laws had no restrictions of expatriating, Hawaiian subjects could never lose their citizenship of the Kingdom. Those not of the kanaka maoli blood were required to naturalize under establish conditions cited by its laws. Once the U.S. proclaimed us citizens of their country, there was never any naturalization process to the U.S. The only ones that had difficulty with it were Asians and a few Pacific Islanders who were not kanaka maoli. They were restricted fom entering or re-entering the U.S. military-occupied Kingdom of Hawaii.

Hawaii nationals, including non-kanaka maoli, resented the military presence of the U.S. occupiers. Some U.S. white Americans became persona non grata due to their smug arrogance, racism, and some through scamming the local population. Surely one can see the cultural clash between the two societies and their citizens. Today, many take on the U.S. American attitude and logic; especially with the overwhelming amount of settlers that have reached Hawai’i’s shores and conditioning of enforced assimilation. Many, especially those in the U.S. military take on the nomanclature of the “Ugly American”.

U.S. Americans often become insensitive to the local feelings and express hatred toward others that are not Christians as they perceive it to be; or those that don’t adopt their values; or appear like them in any shape, way, or form. We can see it in the Michael Jackson syndrome. If you don’t conduct yourself as a WASP; then you are looked down on and considered beneath them. The saving grace is that not all U.S. Americans are like that. Nonetheless, their country must de-occupy ours and we should freely be able to express ourselves as subjects/nationals of the Kingdom of Hawai’i.

Right on Tane. This helps to clarify our present day situation and differentiate between nationalism & racism. You are right about us being the most mixed w/ other ethnicities. That can be contributed to being open to others & also for survival. How do we reverse the outcome of forced assimilation ingrained over 4-5 generations? Lots of our people are content to be American.

ALOHA Kaua, e Miliaulani, Many Americans did not support their Independence from England. It is the same with our Hawaiian people today. For those of our people who want to continue being American, that is their right. But that right should not stop us from Going Home To The Hawaiian Kingdom. The Hawaiian Kingdom nation of Queen Liliuokalani and our ancestors. I have many family and friends who I know will never stop being American. I do not let them stop me from being a Hawaiian National of the Hawaiian Kingdom nation of Queen Liliuokalani. The only part of the Hawaiian Kingdom nation of Queen Liliuokalani that was overthrown was the lawful government of the Hawaiian Kingdom. The Hawaiian Kingdom nation was not overthrown. The Hawaiian Kingdom nation continues to remains as a nation. Our people need to look deep within our people on who we are today. We must embrace all members of our people without Blood Quantum. The Blood Quantum is an American concept of what is and who is a native Hawaiian. Within our people are over 50 Blood Lines from people from all over the world. We must not and should not allow Blood Quantum to divide our people, our Ohana, our nation, the Hawaiian Kingdom. Imua Ke Aupuni Moi O Hawaii Nei, o Pomai

Aloha mai e Pomai,

You are 100% correct. Other’s right to choose should NOT affect our own. Like you, I have family who don’t question their loyalty to America. I am the minority; viewed as different & radical. I prefer to think that knowledge & the ability to be a critical thinker opened doors.
Tracing my mookuauhau & knowing my ancestors; knowing they signed the Ku’e petitions & resisted annexation changed my mindset.
I look at it as removing the cloak of assimilation & seeing our history through the eyes of our kupuna.

It is there in San Francisco that I got to know how lucky we are to be Hawaiian and to have Hawaii as our Homeland. It is my Hope that 2010 will be the year that our people will take a great step and move forward.

Aloha Cuz,

I do concur about assimilation. So much have I embraced yet forget where we come from. We must continue to perpetuate and support our langauge and culture; not only the children. The adults must be inclusive to learn the langauge so our culture lives on through our children!

hi ********Happy New Year Kaohi,

by right, the kanaka maoli/aboriginal Hawaiians, American citizens, and foreign citizens can do a class action suit against the entity state of Hawaii, and the U.S. for their DU/depleted uranium activities in our islands……the military for their chemtrails …..we were at the Bureau of Conveyances, Honolulu, when a number of us noticed the chemtrails in the sky……….that was about a month ago…………

along with the VOG, which comes from the Big Island, the air that we breathe also has polluted, depleted uranium air/winds that sit over the Hawaiian archipelago……….compounded with that and other toxins utilized by the military, the GMO monsters, etc.

even if individual cases are put together, that would and could take the state down further, etc.

note that the scientist is also from a nuclear plant……..listen to her discussions, some issues brought up by depleted uranium expert Leuren Moret also.

she discusses chemicals in the chem trails that douses people because there’s matters dripping from the skies……..adding other matters such as biological germs, etc.

“over Paris, over Geneva….in England, in Belgium……it’s all over the air”…………don’t know about Asia……….

so, doesn’t that mean they may be satisfied about the natural VOG occurrence which affects our weather naturally, which means they can also apply contaminants under camouflage?

interesting, wicked, beyond evil……..

Egypt’s Blockade: The Iron Wall
by Uri Avnery

SOMETHING ODD, almost bizarre, is going on in Egypt these days.

About 1400 activists from all over the world gathered there on their way to the Gaza Strip. On the anniversary of the Cast Lead War, they intended to participate in a non-violent demonstration against the ongoing blockade, which makes the life of 1.5 million inhabitants of the Strip intolerable.

At the same time, protest demonstrations were to take place in many countries. In Tel-Aviv, too, a big protest was planned. The monitoring committee of the Arab citizens of Israel was to organize an event on the Gaza border.

When the international activists arrived in Egypt, a surprise awaited them. The Egyptian government forbade their trip to Gaza. Their buses were held up at the outskirts of Cairo and turned back. Individual protesters who succeeded in reaching the Sinai in regular buses were taken off them. The Egyptian security forces conducted a regular hunt for the activists.

The angry activists besieged their embassies in Cairo. On the street in front of the French embassy, a tent camp sprang up which was soon surrounded by the Egyptian police. American protesters gathered in front of their embassy and demanded to see the ambassador. Several protesters who are over 70 years old started a hunger strike. Everywhere, the protesters were held up by Egyptian elite units in full riot gear, while red water cannon trucks were lurking in the background. Protesters who tried to assemble in Cairos central Tahrir (liberation) Square were mishandled.

In the end, after a meeting with the wife of the president, a typical Egyptian solution was found: one hundred activists were allowed to reach Gaza. The rest remained in Cairo, bewildered and frustrated. . . .

In the past, Egypt succeeded in balancing its internal weaknesses with external successes. The whole world considered Egypt as the leader of the Arab world, and treated it accordingly. No more.

Egypt is in a bad situation. Therefore, Mubarak has no choice but to follow the dictates of the US which are, in fact, Israeli dictates. That is the real explanation for his participation in the blockade.

Ever since 1945, the US has regarded itself as the leader of the “free world”. But the Obama administration is facing an unexpected and unwelcome development in global politics. Four of the biggest and most strategically important democracies in the developing world – Brazil, India, South Africa and Turkey – are increasingly at odds with American foreign policy. Rather than siding with the US on the big international issues, they are just as likely to line up with authoritarian powers such as China and Iran.–Gideon Rachman, “America is losing the free world,” Financial Times, January 4, 2010
At the end of the first decade of the 21st century, the question is not whether we will preside over the creation of a New World Order, but whether America’s decline is irreversible.–Patrick J. Buchanan, “A Decade of Self-Delusion,” Human Events, December 29, 2009

Realpolitik and Terrorism
Webster’s New World Dictionary – Second College Edition
Terrorism — use of force or threats to demoralize, intimidate, and subjugate, esp. such use as a political weapon or policy
Power politics — international political relations in which each nation attempts to increase its own power or interests by using military or economic coercion

Realpolitik — practical politics; a euphemism for power politics

Frequently, realpolitik = power politics = terrorism

UN High-level Panel on Threats, Challenges and Change
The panel defined terrorism as any action intended to cause death or serious bodily harm to civilians or non-combatants with the purpose of intimidating a population or compelling a government or an international organisation to do, or abstain from, any act. (Also see U.S. Code Title 18, Part I, Chapter 113B, Section 2331)
Harold Pinter, Nobel Lecture: Art, Truth and Politics
VIDEO: The invasion of Iraq was a bandit act, an act of blatant state terrorism, demonstrating absolute contempt for the concept of international law. The invasion was an arbitrary military action inspired by a series of lies upon lies and gross manipulation of the media and therefore of the public; an act intended to consolidate American military and economic control of the Middle East masquerading — as a last resort — all other justifications having failed to justify themselves — as liberation. A formidable assertion of military force responsible for the death and mutilation of thousands and thousands of innocent people.
Terrorism Depends on Target: Judge
Militants who attack military or state targets, even with suicide bombers, cannot be considered terrorists in times of war or occupation, an Italian judge said in a ruling today.
Sir Peter Ustinov
Terrorism is the war of the poor, and War is the terrorism of the rich.
United States Senator Barry Goldwater
Extremism in the pursuit of liberty is no vice. Moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue.
Stephen Kinzer, All the Shah’s Men
AUDIO: Boston’s NPR News Source — New York Times correspondent Stephen Kinzer asserts “It is not far-fetched to draw a line from Operation Ajax through the Shah’s repressive regime and the Islamic Revolution to the fireballs that engulfed the World Trade Center in New York.”

Former Communications Director for the Reagan White House, and candidate for U.S. president in 2000, traces the roots of terrorism, its successes, and its failures (pages 89 through 126).
Karen Armstrong, The Label of Catholic Terror Was Never Used About the IRA
Precise intelligence is essential in any conflict. It is important to know who our enemies are, but equally crucial to know who they are not. It is even more vital to avoid turning potential friends into foes. By making the disciplined effort to name our enemies correctly, we will learn more about them, and come one step nearer, perhaps, to solving the seemingly intractable and increasingly perilous problems of our divided world.
Howard Zinn, Declarations of Independence
Aside from its uselessness for military and political purposes, its colossal waste of human resources, its dangers to the survival of us all, nuclear deterrence is profoundly immoral. It means that the United States is holding hostage the entire population of the Soviet Union–the very people it claims are suffering under communism–and stands ready to kill them all if the Soviet government makes the wrong move. And the Soviet government is doing the same to the American population. If we think holding hostage the passengers of an airliner is unspeakably evil and call it terrorism, what name shall we give holding hostage the entire human race? — p. 287
Empowerment Project, The Panama Deception
The U.S. invasion of Panama took 10 times as many lives as Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait. This Academy Award winning documentary, broadcast in more than 20 countries worldwide, Blue Ribbon winner at the American Film & Video Festival in 1993, and recipient of several international film awards, uncovers the true motivation for the invasion. It explains how and why the mainstream media collaborated with the U.S. Government to censor and selectively report information to deceive the American public just as they did during the February 1998 “crisis” over Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction.

ACFTV, Afghan Massacre: The Convoy of Death
Thousands of Afghan prisoners were killed while travelling in sealed containers on their way from Konduz to a prison at Sheberghan. The bodies of the dead and some who survived were then buried in a mass grave at nearby Dasht Leile. US special forces were closely involved and in charge at the time.

ITVS, People and the Land
What can be done when civilized societies differ and their differences are profound?

Created at great personal risk by Tom Hayes and his crew. Zionists have lobbied to prevent PBS from showing the film.

John Mueller and Karl Mueller, Sanctions of Mass Destruction
On average far fewer Americans are killed each year by terrorists than are killed by lightning, deer accidents, or peanut allergies. To call terrorism a threat to national security is scarcely plausible.
… economic sanctions may well have been a necessary cause of the deaths of more people in Iraq than have been slain by all so-called weapons of mass destruction throughout history. — Foreign Affairs, May/June 1999, p. 43

John Mueller, Is There Still a Terrorist Threat?
The massive and expensive homeland security apparatus erected since 9/11 may be persecuting some, spying on many, inconveniencing most, and taxing all to defend the United States against an enemy that scarcely exists.–Foreign Affairs, September/October 2006
John Mueller, Overblown: How Politicians and the Terrorism Industry Inflate National Security Threats, and Why We Believe Them
Hypervigilance is threatening civil liberties, the economy, and lives. Terrorist threats are overblown; we can learn from the lessons of previous international threats that they are often exaggerated; and by applying these lessons, we can create policy that reduces fear and the cost of overreaction.
Death Toll From Road Accidents 390 Times That From Terrorism
The body count from road accidents in developed economies is 390 times higher than the death toll in these countries from international terrorism, says a study appearing in a specialist journal, Injury Prevention. In 2001, as many people died every 26 days on American roads as died in the terrorist attacks of 9/11, it says.
Noam Chomsky, Necessary Illusions
If the agenda can be restricted to the ambiguities of Arafat, the abuses and failures of the Sandinistas, the terrorism of Iran and Libya, and other properly framed issues, then the game [fooling the American public] is basically over; excluded from the discussion is the unambiguous rejectionism of the United States and Israel, and the terrorism and other crimes of the United States and its clients, not only far greater in scale but also incomparably more significant on any moral dimension for American citizens, who are in a position to mitigate or terminate these crimes. — p. 49
Noam Chomsky, What Uncle Sam Really Wants
The use of terror is deeply ingrained in our [US] character. . .
The first step is to use the police. They’re critical because they can detect discontent early and eliminate it before “major surgery” is necessary. If major surgery becomes necessary, we rely on the army. When we can no longer control the army . . . it’s time to overthrow the government.

The second step is to use the military. The US has always tried to establish relations with the military in foreign countries, because that’s one of the ways to overthrow a government that has gotten out of hand.

Peter Dale Scott, U.S. Responsibility For The Slaughters
American media are quick to cast light on the personal atrocities of others, who happen (not by coincidence) to be our enemies. We have been told much about the outrages committed by Nazi Germany and Japan during World War II, and then in the post-war era by Stalin and by China down through the Cultural Revolution and Tien-An-Men. The massacres in Cambodia, with their pyramids of skulls, have been succeeded in our media by the killing fields of East Africa, Bosnia, and Algeria.
The massacres we do not hear about, at least at the time, are those for which the United States itself is responsible. This on-going, systematic suppression, from the Philippines in the 1950s to El Salvador in the 1980s, falsifies our understanding, not just of our own history, but of all managed atrocities throughout the world.

Major General Smedley D. Butler, Excerpt from 1933 speech
War is just a racket. . . . It has its ‘finger men’ to point out enemies, its ‘muscle men’ to destroy enemies, its ‘brain men’ to plan war preparations, and a ‘Big Boss’ Super-Nationalistic-Capitalism. . . .
I helped make Mexico, especially Tampico, safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefits of Wall Street. The record of racketeering is long. I helped purify Nicaragua for the international banking house of Brown Brothers in 1909-1912 (where have I heard that name before?). I brought light to the Dominican Republic for American sugar interests in 1916. In China I helped to see to it that Standard Oil went its way unmolested.

Former U.S. Attorney General Ramsey Clark, Letter to United Nations Ambassadors
Two months have passed since the Security Council last reviewed the murderous sanctions against Iraq and more than 20,000 human beings have died as a direct result of its failure to end the sanctions that time. More than 10,000 of those who died in March and April are infants and children. The entire population of Iraq has suffered. Millions will not overcome the effects of the sanctions in their lifetimes which have been shortened by years.
The history of this violent century does not reveal a more deadly, cruel, inhumane and degrading torture of the whole population of an entire nation inflicted by foreign power for so long a period of time. — May 1, 1996

The U.S. bombing of Iraq, June 26, 1993, in retaliation for an alleged Iraqi plot to assassinate former president George Bush, “was essential,” said President Clinton, “to send a message to those who engage in state-sponsored terrorism . . . and to affirm the expectation of civilized behavior among nations.”

Campaign wins Army objector discharge!

Spc. Dustin Stevens discharged,
Echo Platoon disbanded

By Courage to Resist.
November 10, 2009

In August, we launched a campaign to “Free Army conscientious objector Dustin Stevens and the end illegal pre-trial punishment of the Fort Bragg 50!” With your help, we did just that!

Dustin is certain that he would still be facing over a year in the stockade if it were not for your support. It is not everyday that we win an outright victory for GI resisters.

Dustin Stevens was one of about 50 soldiers held at the 82nd Holdover Unit awaiting likely AWOL and desertion charges. They lived in a legal limbo of poor living conditions, verbal abuse, and arbitrary punishments while waiting for up to a year to be actually charged and court martialed. These soldiers were subjected to many months of unjust and illegal punishment prior to their day in court.

Shortly after Dustin first contacted us, staff organizer Sarah Lazare traveled across the country and not only met with Dustin and other members of his unit, she also recorded an interview with their commanding officer! After her first article was published, living conditions improved. After her second article, co-authored with Dahr Jamail, “Echo Platoon” was disbanded. And after we mailed hundreds of petitions to military authorities on behalf of supporters like yourself, Dustin’s court martial for desertion was canceled. He was discharged last week.

Dustin intends to continue fighting for GI resisters:

I was let out because I have a big mouth and a lot of people backing me up. The guys and girls that stay quiet are still getting screwed. How do we fix this, how do we help these people? Fort Bragg is just one problem, there are many more.

I am eternally grateful for the help that I received from Courage to Resist and others like them. But I am far from finished. My fight is for every single person that has the right to choose. I will fight for the soldiers with a conscience. I will not stop my fight, ever.

Dialogues Against Militarism in Israel/Palestine

Update from Sarah Lazare, Courage to Resist Project Coordinator, and Iraq War resister Stephen Funk who are traveling throughout Israel/Palestine with the Dialogues Against Militarism project.

By Sarah Lazare and Stephen Funk. November 11, 2009

About 25 of us trudged towards military prison 400, just outside of Tel Aviv, coils of razor wire and lookout towers looming above us, fields of mud and dry grass to our right. As we walked past, soldiers in the towers yelled out to us in Hebrew: “We are prisoners, too” and “We don’t like the cops either!” referring to the two police vehicles trailing us. When we reached our destination – an opening in the field, nestled between the fences marking the perimeter of the prison – we began setting up the sound system and preparing for the day’s goal of reaching earshot of Or Ben-David, a young Israeli being held in prison for refusing the army draft.

Our gathering consisted predominantly of young Israelis who had themselves been conscientious objectors, some of whom had been held in that same prison quite recently, some of whom had just refused and were scheduled to report to prison in a few months. The crowd also included some older radicals, a smattering of internationals, and of course us – U.S. War resisters, Iraq Veterans Against the War, and anti-militarist organizers, here to lend our support to Israeli and Palestinian movements against occupation.

Raz Bar-David, a military resister who had spent time behind those bars, explained that we were at the point where we could best be heard by Or. And it is a good thing she could, because the sounds being emitted over this barren military landscape were worth hearing.

Forward this e-newsletter to a friend!

He started to recruit other students, as he had done so many times before. But it was harder. “Everyone hated the [unelected] government [of Hosni Mubarak], and the US for backing it,” he says. But there was an inhibiting sympathy for the victims of 9/11 — until the Bush administration began to respond with Guantanamo Bay and bombs. “That made it much easier. After that, I could persuade people a lot faster.”

Nawaz was ultimately imprisoned in Egypt and was surrounded by Egyptian prisoners who were being brutally tortured by a government propped up by the U.S. (he was spared only because he was a British citizen). Consider what began to change Nawaz’s views on the rightness of his Islamic extremism:

Maajid’s Islamist convictions were about to be challenged from two unexpected directions — the men who murdered Egyptian President Anwar Sadat, and Amnesty International.

HT [the Islamic group which he had headed] abandoned Maajid as a “fallen soldier” and barely spoke of him or his case. But when his family were finally allowed to see him, they told him he had a new defender. Although they abhorred his political views, Amnesty International said he had a right to free speech and to peacefully express his views, and publicised his case.

“I was just amazed,” Maajid says. “We’d always seen Amnesty as the soft power tools of colonialism. So, when Amnesty, despite knowing that we hated them, adopted us, I felt — maybe these democratic values aren’t always hypocritical. Maybe some people take them seriously … it was the beginning of my serious doubts.”

In other words, the very policies the U.S. has been pursuing in the name of combating Terrorism — invading, occupying, and bombing Muslim countries; locking them up without trials; torturing them; violating the values we’ve been preaching to the world — have been the most potent instruments for fueling Islamic radicalism and terrorism. By contrast, those who have been continuously accused of being “soft on Terrorism” and even being allied with the Terrorists — those who opposes our various wars, who demanded and provided basic human rights protections and equal liberties to Muslims, who objected to their own governments’ oppressive and belligerent policies — have done more to diffuse and impede Muslim radicalism than virtually anyone else in the world.

These truths are so self-evident that they shouldn’t require journalists like Hari to document. If we invade, bomb and attack Muslim countries — and uniquely deny to them the rights we claim are universal (such as the right to be free of torture and imprisonment without trials) — then far more Muslims are going to wallow in rage and hatred for the West and be willing and eager to return the treatment. Conversely, seeing Westerners speak out against their countries’ attacks on, and oppressive policies towards, Muslims renders far harder to sustain the divisiveness and demonization on which all radicalism feeds. This is all basic cause and effect, as even the Pentagon’s own Task Force concluded all the way back in 2004 in explaining how and why our wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are severely exacerbating the threat of Terrorism.

Despite how obvious and well-documented these truths are, so many American elites continue to ignore them. Writing in Newsweek this week, Slate’s Editor-in-Chief Jacob Weisberg looks at the Fort Hood shootings and various disrupted terrorist plots and concludes that Obama has perhaps been too conciliatory towards Muslims; that “Obama’s [so-called] olive-branch strategy” has not made us safer, at least in the short-term; and that “Obama’s heritage feeds a broader suspicion that he is too casual about the threat from America’s Islamist enemies.” In what fantasy world is Jacob Weisberg living?

Obama is presiding over active wars in three separate Muslim countries — Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan. All year long, there has been an abundance of video footage of Muslim villages — including scores of women and children — being wiped out by American air raids. Obama has already escalated the war in Afghanistan. His administration is actively demanding the right to abduct people and imprison them at Bagram with no charges and is actively protecting those who spent the last decade torturing Muslims and disppearing them to secret camps. Our steadfast alliance with Israel — which The New York Times’ Mark Mazzetti documented this weekend was a prime motivating factor in the militarism and hatred of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed — has been symbolically altered by Obama but otherwise remains fully in place. It’s true that Obama has sand-papered some of the roughest rhetorical and policy edges of the Bush/Cheney approach — explicitly barring torture and CIA black sites, trying to close Guantanamo, sounding a far different tone in how he speaks about and to the Muslim world — but, at least so far, many of the fundamentals remain largely in place, and it’s thus unsurprising that Obama’s intense international popularity has not yet translated to much of the Muslim world.

Despite all that, people like Jacob Weisberg fret that Obama “has not taken the radical Islamist threat to American security — at home or in Afghanistan — seriously enough,” and demand that Obama announce to the world that “America does not face a threat from the perversion of faith in general. We face a threat from the perversion of one faith in particular.” Even in the face of mountains of evidence that this sort of heightened aggression and oppression exacerbates the threat of Islamic terrorism, people like Weisberg continue to demand more of it. And even in the face of the most compelling evidence imaginable that accommodation to the Muslim world and treating Muslims equally and respectfully is the greatest threat to the Islamic extremist, people like Weisberg perpetually worry that we’re doing too much of that. At some point, a rational person has to wonder whether people like Jacob Weisberg — who endlessly advocate policies that fuel Islamic extremism and intensify tension between the West and the Muslim world — aren’t desirous of exactly that outcome. After decades of pursuing this blatantly counter-productive approach, what else could explain such moral and intellectual blindness?

Panel & Interview Schedule

Panel 1: A Case Study of the PCA Salmonella Outbreak (10:00 a.m.)

This panel will review the events leading up to the PCA recall, and what measures need to be implemented to prevent a similar event from occurring. Panelists will explore the interplay between both federal and state food safety agencies and why these agencies were unable to prevent and promptly identify the foodborne pathogen that sickened and killed unsuspecting consumers. PCA panelists will discuss the local public health response to the outbreak, insufficient employee protections, and failures regarding interoperability of food safety agencies.

Panel 2: Lessons Learned from the Largest Meat Recall in History (11:15 a.m.)

This panel will discuss the conditions that led to the nation’s largest beef recall in history. Panelists will review tactics that can be employed to prevent similar food safety disasters, discuss the failings and inadequate enforcement of public health and USDA regulations, and detail what steps are necessary to improve the existing system.

Panel 3: Food Safety and Whistleblowing (2:00 p.m.)

This panel includes presentations by those working in food production, as well as those fighting for greater worker protections. Panelists will share anecdotes, case studies, successes, failures and forecasts for progress in the realm of food integrity. The implications of food safety laws, with a special emphasis on the role of new food technologies vs. hands-on safety inspection, will be covered.

Keynote Address: Dr. David Kessler (3:15)

GAP Executive Director Mark Cohen will interview former FDA Commissioner and best selling author David Kessler, covering a broad array of topics ranging from food integrity and safety to food wholesomeness and the public health implications of overeating. This interview will be recorded live for GAP’s television program, Whistle Where You Work, and broadcast on the Free Speech TV channel via the DISH satellite network.

Through this conference, attendees will develop a better understanding of why it is important for workers to have protective food integrity. All questions should be directed to GAP Communications Director Dylan Blaylock at dylanb@whistleblower.org, or 202.236.3733

Aloha kakou,

About 40-50 people in total turned out, during the nearly 3 and l/2 hour protest at today’s Hilo Veterans Parade. The protest focus was the U.S. illegal wars of aggression and occupation in Iraq and Afghanistan and the military including vehicles from Pohakuloa Training Area (PTA) recently returned from Iraq. Among those present were Kanaka Maoli leaders, Kelii, “Skippy” Ioane, a Vietnam vet, Moanikeala Akaka, Moana Tavares, and Noelani Mason, who together with David Schlesinger and others were broadcasting the protest live on Youthbuiltmedia.com. Also joining the protest was 95 year old Don Swergfegger, a retired methodist minister. About l500 leaflets were distributed to people along the parade route and even some parade participants. The leaflet was entitled “Help Protect Veterans & Public Health.” It warned about the dangers of possible DU contamination of the military vehicles in the Hilo parade.

PTA’s commanding officer, Lt. Col. Warline Richardson’s words that there would be no mobile weapon systems on military vehicles in todays’ parade turned out to be false Two command Stryker vehicles at the end of the parade (just in front of the ending firetruck) were preceded by several Humvees armed with machine guns. It’s interesting that the Strykers and Humvees were placed at the end of the parade, even though we stated clearly we had no intent of blocking such vehicles. The military obviously did not believe us. They made sure that if we attempted to block the Strykers it would only block them and not the rest of the parade. It should also be noted that members of a right wing citizen group called “The Eagles” were walking as escorts for the Strykers and there were several Hawaii County police on bicycles also acting as a security escort for the Strykers.

The Strykers and Humvees, recently returned from Iraq, are currently training at the PTA in the center of our island home that is officially acknowledged to be contaminated with DU. Hawaii’s Stryker brigade is training for redeployment to either Iraq or Afghanistan. These vehicles participated in the Hilo parade in violation of Army Regulation 700-48 according to Doug Rokke, PH.D. Major, retired U.S. Army, and Director U.S. Army Depleted Uranium (DU) Project. Rokke says: “Any and all combat vehicles and equipment (everything) returned from Iraq should be prohibited from any civilian area. (including this parade) A standard wash rack is useless for decontamination… Army regulation 700-48, section 2-4 requires isolation from all human contact. Even after extensive depot level cleaning I found DU, and other radiological, chemical and biological contamination in vehicles years later. The gross contamination of equipment, vehicles, terrain, air, water, soil and food is reflected in, and verified by the hundreds of thousands of US casualties with serious medical problems that are unrelated to bullets or bombs, but are directly related to all of these toxic exposures. Hawaii’s isolated and pristine environment should not be exposed to, and consequently placed in danger through, any exposure to any of the contaminants brought back by the US military from war zones.”

All in all, the day of leafleting and protest went very well. There was minimal hostility. The leaflet was crafted to focus on protecting Veterans and Public Health. Who can be against that? We had a very good location for the protest and even many of the vets in the parade gave positive thumbs up signals to many of our signs such as: “No War Surge,” “Protect the Troops from DU,” “Aloha Means Peace,” “Stop the Wars,” and “End Occupations.” Clearly the current wars are not popular even at a veterans parade. And the fact that the Strykers — the modern chariots of empire, had to be placed last in the parade and be under right wing (Eagle) and police escort, was a sign of the military’s unpopular status as occupier of the independent nation of Hawaii.

Group to protest Strykers
By Peter Sur
Hawaii Tribune-Herald

The decision to invite Stryker vehicles to a Hilo Veterans Day parade is stirring up a military-grade headache.

The third annual parade begins at 10 a.m. today and runs through downtown Hilo, featuring seven bands, veterans of all wars from World War II to the present, and a flyover by a Black Hawk helicopter.
The featured veterans this year served in the military intelligence service of the 100th Battalion, 442nd Infantry Regiment during World War II. Hawaii’s most recent veterans, comprising the 299th Cavalry Army National Guard, which recently returned from Iraq, will also be honored.

It’s one of the bigger parades of the year, with some 50 units proceeding at a stately pace through Hilo’s usual parade route. Estimates for participation range between 800 and 1,000 people.

But all of that is being overshadowed by a controversy over Stryker combat vehicles that have been invited.

Organizers hoped to keep word of the vehicles a secret from peace activists like Jim Albertini of the Malu Aina Center for Non-Violent Education and Action, in an attempt to ward off conflict.

Albertini found out anyway, and on Sunday wrote an open letter to Lt. Col. Warline Richardson of Pohakuloa Training Area, asking that the vehicles be kept out of the parade.

Albertini says he’s concerned that the presence of the vehicles “glorifies war” under the guise of honoring veterans. He’s also raised concerns that the Strykers, which are involved in training exercises at Pohakuloa, could be contaminated with depleted uranium and may pose a health risk to citizens.

Richardson called Albertini on Monday to confirm that two Strykers would be in the parade, but they would be unarmed command vehicles. There would be numerous other, non-controversial vehicles in the parade, including an ambulance and transport vehicles.

Reached at Pohakuloa, Richardson stepped back from confirming anything and referred questions to the U.S. Army Garrison public affairs office on O’ahu.

Pohakuloa’s official word was “no comment,” and Army spokesman Loran Doane would not confirm the vehicles would be in the parade.

Dan Kama, a board member of the parade, was also mum.”What’s going to happen at the parade happens,” he said.

Supporters of the Strykers will wave flags and signs during the parade, said Daryl Smith, chairman of the local Republican Party.

“It’s more of a tea party group than a Republican Party group,” Smith said. “They’re going to try and balance Jim’s protest.”

Albertini’s peace group plans to hand out leaflets to parade-goers before it starts. The group will hold a peaceful sign-waving along Kamehameha Avenue, across from the Hilo Farmers Market.

There are no plans to disrupt the parade, Albertini said.

hi Tyke,

Recently found an old article written by the Pirate Americans that our government, the Kingdom of Hawaii went “under ground”………so that means that our nation existed then and exists now because of the documented information which can be used as evidence documenting that the U.S. is a TERRORIST Nation along with the Sandanistas who had previously documented the fact in the World Court.

The United Nations departed from the Law of Nations and was created by the bankers, U.S., and England which came together as the CFR/Council on Foreign Relations. The three (3) then created the United Nations which moves towards One World Order/New World Order.

The United Nations site was gifted by the Rockefellers who are the permanent heads of the EXXON Oil Corporation, who owned the 911 Twin Towers, and are the umbrella corporation over many corporations such as the Electric Companies, Oil Companies, etc. The EXXON Oil Corporations had evolved from the STANDARD OIL Company thru the monopoly entity whose affiliates signed into agreements which included operating outside of the U.S., then being protected by the U.S. military……………until that structure is eliminated, their corporate goals of moving everyone towards ONE WORLD ORDER/NEW WORLD ORDER continues with the Queen at the head, along with the International bankers, example: Bank of England, Morgan Bankers, etals. all part of the Wall Street Stock market groups which bankrolls off of PLUNDERED NATIONS!

The Source of Terrorism remains the three (3) problematic groups: Bankers, U.S., and England (with assortment of associations)…….it can be seen in the true history of the U.S., England, the banks and their bankrupt status since the American Civil War of 1865………….after PLUNDERING UPON INNOCENTS, they encroach, assume, pirate assets then in turn invest, loan, create credit for citizens who pay loads of monies towards interest rates…………..all based on stolen assets of PLUNDERED NATIONS!

Then add the Secret Treaty of Verona of 1822 which was agreed to by Austria, France, Prussia, Russia, the U.S., England, and the Vatican which is complemented for maintaining OBEDIENCE amongst the people.

Finally, our depleted uranium friend, a expert, and a researcher has also found that the Queen of England owns the bulk of the shares of the uranium company….uranium being used to PLUNDER UPON INNOCENTS………and they move to exterminate PEOPLE OF COLOR also known as the “needless” and “useless eaters”….the Masons/Freemasons are another arm which is used as a tool to assist in breaking down Monarchy governments worldwide (excepting Englands Monarchy)………extremely wicked indeed………

IOLANI – The Royal Hawk Vol II No. 270 Legal Notice January 6, 2010

January 6, 2010

U.S. President Obama, Governor Lingle, NRC Staff, et. als.
c/o Linda Lingle, et.als.
Honolulu, Oahu, Hawaii

Greetings everyone!

Re: Kingdom of Hawaii – Records. No. 2009-0327 Legal Notice – Depleted Uranium and other Contaminants banned on our families lands January 5, 2009 – Official Notice by Amelia Gora, a Royal person and Acting Liaison of Foreign Affairs

This notice is to inform you that on this day, January 5, 2009, you “includes everyone occupying our families properties, also known as the Crown Lands and wrongfully, criminally claimed as the ceded lands and occupying/belligerently occupying our private properties” are hereby given notice that you are hereby banned from authorizing, conveying, acknowledging, allowing the occupying military, et. als. from holding, using, spreading, contaminating our private properties on the Hawaiian archipelago from this day forward.

The Kingdom of Hawaii/Hawaiian Kingdom/Hawaiian Islands/Hawaiian archipelago/He Mokupuni Pae Aina o Hawaii government along with the Royal families remain a neutral, non-violent, friendly nation which did go “underground”. The owners of these lands exist, including I, Amelia Gora, who did oppose DU/depleted uranium in Hawaii along with Jim Albertini, Isaac Harp, Luwella Leonardi, etals. and have spoken with people at the NRC who did approve my electronic file number over the phone……and the number was approved till November of 2010.

The Administrative process continues; however, the owners ban to not allow the use of DU/depleted uranium on our private properties supercedes the requests by a belligerent occupier the right to possess.

As one of the descendants of Kauikeaouli/Kamehameha III’s adopted children, I, Amelia Gora, hereby demand that you cease and desist your activities of harming all on our lands, our citizenry including our families, our kanaka maoli/aboriginal Hawaiians, the U.S. citizens, and our friendly foreign visitors from foreign nations who are all innocents in these matters.

Payments for our families land use has not been received by our proper parties, and the following past notice of Eviction was posted to your President Obama, military, governor who fails to comply.

It is not O.K. to utilize nuclear weapons here and total removal of all nuclear warfare from, in, around our lands is expected.

The decay of the American structure appears to be had by the Nuclear Regulatory group which perseveres to play a role in terminating the lives of innocents/Plundering Upon Innocents and operates under the controls of others.

I ask/suggest/demand that you cease and desist immediately.

If you fail to do so, all nations will see the continued wickedness, the nature of the U.S., a true terrorist nation, etc. I say this due to the fact that I intervened in the Pearl Harbor Condemnation case and witnessed the fact and have the documentations of a FRAUD DEED entered in the claims over the Halawa Ahupuaa which was used in claiming PEARL HARBOR — I have the evidence entered by the attorneys for the Kamehameha Schools Bishop Estates/Kamehameha Schools/Trustees which shows a FRAUD deed of King David Kalakaua deed to two deceased ancestors of ours: Mataio Kekuanaoa who died in 1868, and Grace Kamaikui who died in 1866…..the FRAUD deed was dated 1876 or 8-9 years AFTER they died. In other words, the U.S. criminal claim to PEARL HARBOR was based on a FRAUD, and many INNOCENTS died needlessly including those in the MARSHALL ISLANDS; HIROSHIMA, JAPAN; NAGASAKI, JAPAN; including our Hawaiian Islands due to tests on the island of Kahoolawe; the practice areas in NEVADA, etc.

We have done no wrongs to you, it was the your government that “breached the Laws of Nations” documented our Queen/
Queen Liliuokalani in 1893.

                                                                             Sincerely,

                                                                              Amelia Gora, a Royal person (a

Subject: Report on today’s Hilo Vets parade of Strykers, Humvees, etc.

Aloha kakou,
About 40-50 people in total turned out, during the nearly 3 and l/2 hour protest at today’s Hilo Veterans Parade. The protest focus was the U.S. illegal wars of aggression and occupation in Iraq and Afghanistan and the military including vehicles from Pohakuloa Training Area (PTA) recently returned from Iraq. Among those present were Kanaka Maoli leaders, Kelii, “Skippy” Ioane, a Vietnam vet, Moanikeala Akaka, Moana Tavares, and Noelani Mason, who together with David Schlesinger and others were broadcasting the protest live on Youthbuiltmedia.com. Also joining the protest was 95 year old Don Swergfegger, a retired methodist minister. About l500 leaflets were distributed to people along the parade route and even some parade participants. The leaflet was entitled “Help Protect Veterans & Public Health.” It warned about the dangers of possible DU contamination of the military vehicles in the Hilo parade.
PTA’s commanding officer, Lt. Col. Warline Richardson’s words that there would be no mobile weapon systems on military vehicles in todays’ parade turned out to be false Two command Stryker vehicles at the end of the parade (just in front of the ending firetruck) were preceded by several Humvees armed with machine guns. It’s interesting that the Strykers and Humvees were placed at the end of the parade, even though we stated clearly we had no intent of blocking such vehicles. The military obviously did not believe us. They made sure that if we attempted to block the Strykers it would only block them and not the rest of the parade. It should also be noted that members of a right wing citizen group called “The Eagles” were walking as escorts for the Strykers and there were several Hawaii County police on bicycles also acting as a security escort for the Strykers.
The Strykers and Humvees, recently returned from Iraq, are currently training at the PTA in the center of our island home that is officially acknowledged to be contaminated with DU. Hawaii’s Stryker brigade is training for redeployment to either Iraq or Afghanistan. These vehicles participated in the Hilo parade in violation of Army Regulation 700-48 according to Doug Rokke, PH.D. Major, retired U.S. Army, and Director U.S. Army Depleted Uranium (DU) Project. Rokke says: “Any and all combat vehicles and equipment (everything) returned from Iraq should be prohibited from any civilian area. (including this parade) A standard wash rack is useless for decontamination… Army regulation 700-48, section 2-4 requires isolation from all human contact. Even after extensive depot level cleaning I found DU, and other radiological, chemical and biological contamination in vehicles years later. The gross contamination of equipment, vehicles, terrain, air, water, soil and food is reflected in, and verified by the hundreds of thousands of US casualties with serious medical problems that are unrelated to bullets or bombs, but are directly related to all of these toxic exposures. Hawaii’s isolated and pristine environment should not be exposed to, and consequently placed in danger through, any exposure to any of the contaminants brought back by the US military from war zones.”
All in all, the day of leafleting and protest went very well. There was minimal hostility. The leaflet was crafted to focus on protecting Veterans and Public Health. Who can be against that? We had a very good location for the protest and even many of the vets in the parade gave positive thumbs up signals to many of our signs such as: “No War Surge,” “Protect the Troops from DU,” “Aloha Means Peace,” “Stop the Wars,” and “End Occupations.” Clearly the current wars are not popular even at a veterans parade. And the fact that the Strykers — the modern chariots of empire, had to be placed last in the parade and be under right wing (Eagle) and police escort, was a sign of the military’s unpopular status as occupier of the independent nation of Hawaii

Greetings,

The above contains more information regarding my families genealogies……..I am claiming lineal heirship to the Kawaihae artifacts as well as being part of the Hawaiian Genealogy Society.

Multiples of claims have been submitted in 2008, etc. as well with a copy posted to your office.

Another claimant did claim as an heir and to date has never stated that I’m part of his family. Also, I don’t know how he is directly connected to me or my family as a descendant of Peke Davis
and as a descendant of Abigail Kapooloku/Princess Poomaikelani.

Therefore, the families, the direct descendants of John Young the awardees of the Kawaihae lands includes my personal claims, and some of the families who are part of the Hawaiian Genealogy Society
and whose claims supercedes all of the others, including the recent claimants.

Thank you for your assistance in these matters.

                                                                                      Sincerely,

                                                                                      Amelia Gora, descendant of Peke Davis, Princess Poomaikelani, Nuuanu (documented lineal descendant) Kalaniopuu, Keliimaikai, Kamehameha et. als.
                                                                                      Heir of Luluhiwalani, Kalola, et. als.

p.s. I have done a thorough research on our Peke Davis line, and she had two (2) sons who were co-heirs of her lands.

hi Keola,

John Young’s descendants exist…….and you too are occupying/utilizing lands that has true owners existing.

The initial contact was already made in regards to claiming of the iwi, etc.

You and the U.S. government have no jurisdiction over our families iwi, etc.

Just because you(and others) wrote a book about the iwi, objects, etc. doesn’t make you (and others) or earn a right in maintaining claims over them.

I grant you (and others) no jurisdiction over our families iwi, etc……..Hands off/ Kapu.

Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Claim(s) are outside of the U.S. jurisdiction.

Consider this as an opposition for your occupation and wrongful touching, handling of iwi, objects, etc. that are not yours.

Sincerely,

Aloha Amelia,

I am the Native Hawaiian Liaison at Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. For
many years we have been working through the NAGPRA process for five
cultural items identified as originating from a cave in Kawaihae, Hawaii
also know as Forbes Cave. We have sent letters certified, return receipt
to all claimants including your organization in 2005 asking claimants for
additional information, we had no response from your organization.
Subsequently we assumed that you were no longer interested in pursuing your
claim and dropped you from our mailing list. Since 2005
we
have
been
actively consulting with various Native Hawaiian Organizations. We will
soon be at a point where we will be publishing a Notice of Intent to
Repatriate in the Federal Register. Once this notice is published other
Native Hawaiian Organizations have 30 days to make a claim with our office.
This email is to inform you of where we are at in the process and to check
and see if you are still interested in pursuing your NAGPRA claim as a
lineal descendant submitted in 2000. You may respond via email or feel
free to call me at (808) 985-6141.

hi Keola,

Response from “your organization”…..I did respond as a bloodline descendant, a person not organization…..also am part of a group of bloodline descendants recognized as the Hawaiian Genealogy Society/Hawaiian Geneology Society affiliated with the Kingdom of Hawaii, not the so called entity ‘State of Hawaii’ occupying our families seats. Admission of criminal wrongdoing was documented by U.S. President Clinton in P.L. 103-150

John Young’s descendants exist…….and you too are occupying/utilizing lands that has true owners existing.

The initial contact was already made in regards to claiming of the iwi, etc.

You and the U.S. government have no jurisdiction over our families iwi, etc.

Just because you(and others) wrote a book about the iwi, objects, etc. doesn’t make you (and others) or earn a right in maintaining claims over them.

I grant you (and others) no jurisdiction over our families iwi, etc……..Hands off/ Kapu.

Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Claim(s) are outside of the U.S. jurisdiction.

If you don’t know by now, the U.S. President, Congress, etals. have no jurisdiction outside of the 300 miles from the contiguous U.S. (See 1993 Supreme Court Judges ruling on the duties of the President, Congress, etals.)

Consider this as an opposition for your occupation and wrongful touching, handling of iwi, objects, etc. that are not yours.

Sincerely,

Amelia Kuulei Gora, one of Kalaniopuu’s, Kamehameha’s, John Young’s, Isaac Davis, Peke Davis, Nuuanu’s, Princess Poomaikelani’s, etals. descendants, and one of the representatives of the Hawaiian Genealogy Society/Hawaiian Geneology Society since 1995.

P.S. I have received letters from your organization and have kept all for the record. Phone calls to Washington was also made, e-mails, etc……apparently, you don’t have your facts straight……..reminding you that bloodlines exist, and whose claims supercede any/all others claiming under organizations who are in no way related or connected to us. Our claims are superior to all the others (period – end of story).

Subject: More Inouye/Akaka bill controversy

Please share with those who may be interested. Mahalo nui

Aloha Kakou,

Mahalo to all who participated in last Monday’s Akaka Bill “sneak-attack” protest at the corner of Punchbowl and Beretania. It was more than we could have hoped for. Our simple protest developed serious traction, and in two days, escalated into a crisis for the Akaka bill gang.

First of all, we got Senator Inouye to vehemently deny he was planning such a sneak-attack. We got him to disavow any intention of doing so, and to insist that the bill is being handled in “the regular order” of the legislative process. He insisted it was a “transparent” process. (His hasty denial left no doubt that he was the real driver behind the Akaka bill.)

Inouye’s claim to “transparency” literally blew up in his face the next day. Our protest triggered inquiries by Governor Lingle to Akaka’s office about what was going on. It was then that the governor discovered that a back-room deal (different from the one we were protesting) had been struck between Akaka and the Obama administration, and that this was to be implemented in Congress the very next day (Wednesday).

Miffed that the state had been kept in the dark, the governor withdrew the state’s long-standing support of the bill and state attorney general Mark Bennett sent a scathing letter to the members of the senate and house committees.

The governor’s action caused the implementation of the back-room deal to falter. As a result, two versions of the Akaka bill were reported out of committees (the House version on Wednesday without the objectionable amendment and Senate version on Thursday, with the amendment). Because there are now two versions, they will have to be reconciled before the Akaka bill can become law. That means the vetting process will extend well into next year, and this won’t be the Christmas present they were hoping for. Needless to say, there is a lot of anxiety in the Akaka bill camp as they scramble with damage control.

Furthermore, the governor, the Star Bulletin and others have joined us in demanding that congressional hearings be held in Hawaii, so that the people of Hawaii (as opposed to only the bureaucrats of Hawaii) can finally have a say. This is the worst fear of Inouye, Akaka, OHA, et al. They know the bill will not hold up to public scrutiny. If hearings are held in Hawaii, the people of Hawaii will leave the Akaka bill in shreds.

This is key to the dismantling of the Akaka bill. The Akaka bill gang will try every which way to avoid hearings in Hawaii. But because of this recent amendment debacle, the rift among supporters and a current poll showing a majority of the people of Hawaii do not support the Akaka bill, it will be virtually impossible for the Akaka gang to stop congressional hearings from taking place in Hawaii if we, the people insist on it. What are they going to say? “We don’t want the people of Hawaii to be heard”?

Please add your voice to insist on hearings in Hawaii. Keep the pressure up. The lies are beginning to unravel and the the schemes are coming apart at the seams…

Here are some links to the press coverage on the issue. More are surfacing every day.

Mahalo Mike,

Very informative report. I have been monitoring Copenhagen via Amy Goodmn at Democarcy Now! Hillary Clinton and Obama flew in with a 100 Billion dollar carrot trick to keep the turtles in the direction of mass destruction.

Most people of Hawaii do not realize we are right in the middle of oceania. What happens to ones side the aquarium effects the other side.

Climate Change in Hawaii: Caught Between a Rock and a Big Wave

Tuesday 15 December 2009

by: Jon Letman, t r u t h o u t | Report

In a perverse way, climate change has inspired people around the world to make competing claims that they are its first victims. From low-lying Pacific islands like Kiribati and Tuvalu, where people face being literally swallowed by rising seas, to Tibetan farmers in Kashmir’s remote Ladakh region, where receding Himalayan glaciers threaten agriculture, people in every corner of the world are coming forward as being on the frontline of global climate change.

Crop failure and drought in Africa, loss of biodiversity in the Amazon and extreme flooding and heat waves in Europe all prove that, if nothing else, climate change is successfully uniting the world in a collective state of imperilment.

Now add to the list Hawaii.

As the only US state located in the tropics, and the only one surrounded entirely by water, scientists expect climate change to affect the Hawaiian Islands in ways unlike anywhere else in the country.

Speaking at a global climate change conference last month on the island of Kauai, scientists from the University of Hawaii (UH) and the US Geological Survey sketched a potential profile of a near-future Hawaii that is expected to be warmer, drier and more susceptible to dramatic rain events and severe coastal erosion.

Dr. Thomas Giambelluca, a climatologist and ecohydrologist with the UH Geography Department, said that while the overall global surface temperatures have been warming since at least 1860, Hawaii is in an area of slower warming, about half the global rate. He noted that records since the mid-1970s show that, although Hawaii’s daytime temperatures are remaining constant or climbing slowly, nighttime temperatures are rising at a high rate, especially at higher elevations where the warming rate has been about 0.44 degrees Celsius since the mid-70s. Warmer nights have implications for not only greater energy use, but also biological impacts such as slower growth of crops and natural vegetation.

As overall global rainfall has increased during the last century, Hawaii’s recorded precipitation has experienced a 5 percent to 20 percent decrease between 1901-2005. According to Giambelluca, this downward trend isn’t limited to Hawaii, but can be seen across the same band of latitude (19 degrees N – 28 degrees N) around the world.

Giambelluca pointed to a decrease in precipitation during Hawaii’s winter months (November to April) over the last century, with a more dramatic decline (27 percent) since 1970. Research also shows that Hawaii’s summer rainfall is increasing slightly, with trends pointing to a drier archipelago with a potentially shrinking cloud zone around Hawaii’s high volcanic peaks in the zone where rising moist tropical air creates the rain that makes the islands lush and green.

Giambelluca said Hawaii could start to experience more frequent droughts punctuated by periodic extreme heavy downpours. “It is possible we will have less rainfall, but still have more big rain events,” Giambelluca said.

Between February 2006 and April 2006, parts of Hawaii had six weeks of nearly continuous heavy rainfall during which time the Kaloko Dam on Kauai was breached, sending hundreds of millions of gallons of water racing toward the sea, killing seven residents who were swept out of their own homes.

Last month, an extreme rain event on Kauai flooded the Hanalei Valley, home to the bulk of Hawaii’s taro crop and a wildlife refuge for rare and endangered Hawaiian birds. Biologists on Kauai have since reported an increase in bird deaths as they move from flooded areas into the flow of automobile traffic.

Today, Hawaii relies on about 50 stream gauges to measure stream flow, down from a high of around 200 in the 1960s, said Dr. Gordon Tribble, director of the Pacific Islands Water Science Center for the US Geological Survey. The reduced capacity to measure stream flow, Tribble said, is reflective of reduced state and federal funding.

Hawaii, which has traditionally been made up of communities arranged around watershed systems, still relies on aquifers and groundwater replenished by trade wind-introduced rainfall for the bulk of its fresh water. Reduced rainfall and the decline of dry-weather flow in Hawaii’s streams, Tribble said, has major implications for not only Hawaii’s 1.3 million people, but also its flora and fauna, including about one-quarter of all federally listed threatened and endangered species in the US.

The impact climate change may have on Hawaii’s unique flora and fauna are of particular interest to botanists and biologists. Chipper Wichman, director of the National Tropical Botanical Garden, speaking from the organization’ s headquarters on Kauai, said that because 90 percent of Hawaii’s native plants (even higher for invertebrates and birds) are found only in Hawaii, often confined to a single mountain or valley, they are especially vulnerable as climate change alters their ecosystems.

Wichman pointed to shifting rainfall patterns and higher temperatures as having direct and indirect consequences for plants and animals. As wet forests become mesic and mesic forests become dry, it is unlikely all native species will be able to evolve or migrate fast enough to keep up with climate change, Wichman said.

Hawaii’s native bird population, already decimated by avian malaria and avian pox, could suffer final death blows if even a slight rise in ambient temperature increases the territory of mosquitoes, allowing them to move beyond their current range of up to 3,500 feet. Because native Hawaiian birds serve as pollinators and are essential for seed dispersal, their loss severely affects plants too.

“Biodiversity is the fabric of life,” Wichman said. “As we lose what some perceive to be insignificant species, we are actually breaking the threads of this fabric. When enough threads are broken, the very integrity of our ecosystem will unravel.”

Communication Breakdown

Speaking at the climate change conference, Dr. Charles Fletcher, chair of the UH Geology and Geophysics Department said, “scientists are not doing a good job of communicating the facts of global warming to policy makers and the public.” He was referring to what he called “climate change deniers,” particularly in the United States. “You don’t see that in other countries,” Fletcher said.

Citing the example of the Federated States of Micronesia, Fletcher spoke of how low-lying islands in the Pacific are being threatened right now by increasingly high tides and the accompanying salt water, which destroys the soil and aquifers, making food production and obtaining drinking water difficult, if not impossible.

Global sea level rise averages about 3.3 millimeters per year. In Micronesia, the rise is 8 mm to10 mm per year, the result, in part, of ocean heating and wind patterns. In Hawaii, Fletcher said, sea levels are rising more slowly, around 1.5 mm a year. If and when Hawaii sees accelerated rates of sea level rise as in Micronesia, Hawaii’s current problems will seem small by comparison, Fletcher said.

Fletcher noted that the ocean absorbs about 80 percent of the heat in the earth’s climate system and, as such, buffers us from the major impacts of global warming. Taking 1/100th of one degree from the ocean and releasing it into the atmosphere would raise the atmospheric temperature by 18 degrees Fahrenheit. Fletcher called the ocean the “800-pound gorilla in the climate system that absorbs excess heat.”

Whether a one meter sea level rise occurs by 2100 or whether it happens later (Fletcher said that carbon released into the atmosphere already ensures this will happen), forecasts indicate a number of dramatic changes for Kauai, and consequently all the Hawaiian Islands in relatively similar ways.

The majority of Hawaii’s population live in coastal plains where large ocean waves are going to increasingly “punch further into the islands.” At just over half a meter sea level rise, Fletcher said flooding will become an annual event. Worsening drainage and high tides means the water will have no place to go. With higher sea levels, it will take less rainfall intensity to cause the same amount of flooding.

“Eventually, you will be wondering if it’s fresh water or salt water that is coming into your living room,” he said.

Sea level rise, flooding and the greater impact of waves may also effectively transform many coastal communities in Hawaii into a series of barrier islands. “We’re going to be saying ‘aloha’ (farewell) to a lot of our beaches,” Fletcher said.

On Kauai, Fletcher said, nearly three-quarters (72 percent) of the sandy coastline is eroding at rate of about one foot (0.3 meters) per year.

Fletcher suggested planning for a possible sea level rise of one meter (3.2 feet) over the next 90 years. It’s high time to carefully reconsider what crops will be grown, where and how buildings and infrastructure are built and how people in Hawaii conduct their daily affairs, according to the UH professor.

“Climate-proofing our infrastructure and towns now could buy us a few generations of use for many of our communities, ” Fletcher said. “We should be building up (from ground level) and back (from the shoreline).”

Here Today, Gone Tomorrow

One of the earliest ecosystems to show evidence of climate change are coral reefs. Like other reef systems around the world, Hawaii’s corals are bearing the brunt of rising temperatures, accelerated erosion and greater terrestrial runoff, although to a lesser degree than other regions. UH research scientist with the Hawaii Institute of Marine Biology Dr. Paul Jokiel has studied coral ecosystems since the early 1970s. He said that climate change would adversely affect Hawaiian corals and all life that depends on them for survival.

“Dry areas will get drier, wet areas wetter and greater storm activity will bring more sediment onto the reefs,” Jokiel said, adding that increased severe storms, rising sea levels and greater ocean acidification can all lead to mass coral bleaching (the result of stress conditions) and mortality. Two significant coral bleachings in Hawaii occurred in 1996 and 2002.

“If we work real hard, we can probably hold temperature increases to 2 degrees Celsius. If we go much beyond that, the projections get pretty grim,” Jokiel said. “At an increase of 5 degrees Celsius, we’re talking about projections of a 90 percent decrease in crop production in Africa.”

Still, Jokiel said that even a 2 degrees Celsius increase will result in massive loss of coral reefs. Quoting a colleague, he noted that coral reef biologists may lose their own subject of study, but could at least provide a warning for the rest of the world as to the seriousness of climate change.

“Eventually, if we keep doing what we’re doing with the atmosphere and the oceans, we’ll reach a place where nothing will calcify and we may see an entire ecosystem go belly-up,” Jokiel said.

Pointing to a PowerPoint projection of a mass of sharply downward sloping lines from 50 research models tracking coral reef viability, Jokiel’s message is stark: “Everything is crashing.”

A warmer, more acidic ocean not only affects coral reefs, but also fish populations, mammals, zooplankton and algae. In Hawaiian waters, for example, scientists are reporting drops in the production of spiny lobster and monk seal pups that seem to be linked to documented increases in ocean temperature and a decrease in oceanic productivity.

Jokiel said the goal right now should be to limit temperature rise to 2 degrees Celsius through 2100. Rising 6 degrees Celsius would bring changes which, according to Jokiel, “you don’t want to see.”

Continuing, he said, “the CO2 we put in the atmosphere stays there unless part of it goes in the ocean. It doesn’t go away. The stuff we put in the air remains with us for thousands of years. On a geologic scale it doesn’t mean much, but for humans it means a great deal.”

As these and other Hawaii-based scientists continue their research and amass more data, the forecasts are growing increasingly consistent, all pointing to an immediate future in which Kauai and the other Hawaiian Islands are warmer, drier and more vulnerable to extreme weather events like torrential rains and drought. Coastal inundation, severe disruptions of ecosystems, the loss of biodiversity from the coral reefs to cloud forests, now the last refuge of countless plants and animals found nowhere else on earth, are all indicative of a paradise literally lost.

Ask anyone in Hawaii today and they’ll tell you the place remains drop-dead gorgeous. Travel magazines still gush about Kauai and rank it among the world’s best tropical islands. But as climate change accelerates, it ushers in new conditions that force even the most die-hard skeptics to re-examine the evidence, consider the consequences and starting today, plan for a different tomorrow.

Wichman pointed to shifting rainfall patterns and higher temperatures as having direct and indirect consequences for plants and animals. As wet forests become mesic and mesic forests become dry, it is unlikely all native species will be able to evolve or migrate fast enough to keep up with climate change, Wichman said.

Hawaii’s native bird population, already decimated by avian malaria and avian pox, could suffer final death blows if even a slight rise in ambient temperature increases the territory of mosquitoes, allowing them to move beyond their current range of up to 3,500 feet. Because native Hawaiian birds serve as pollinators and are essential for seed dispersal, their loss severely affects plants too.

“Biodiversity is the fabric of life,” Wichman said. “As we lose what some perceive to be insignificant species, we are actually breaking the threads of this fabric. When enough threads are broken, the very integrity of our ecosystem will unravel.”

Communication Breakdown

Speaking at the climate change conference, Dr. Charles Fletcher, chair of the UH Geology and Geophysics Department said, “scientists are not doing a good job of communicating the facts of global warming to policy makers and the public.” He was referring to what he called “climate change deniers,” particularly in the United States. “You don’t see that in other countries,” Fletcher said.

Citing the example of the Federated States of Micronesia, Fletcher spoke of how low-lying islands in the Pacific are being threatened right now by increasingly high tides and the accompanying salt water, which destroys the soil and aquifers, making food production and obtaining drinking water difficult, if not impossible.

Global sea level rise averages about 3.3 millimeters per year. In Micronesia, the rise is 8 mm to10 mm per year, the result, in part, of ocean heating and wind patterns. In Hawaii, Fletcher said, sea levels are rising more slowly, around 1.5 mm a year. If and when Hawaii sees accelerated rates of sea level rise as in Micronesia, Hawaii’s current problems will seem small by comparison, Fletcher said.

Fletcher noted that the ocean absorbs about 80 percent of the heat in the earth’s climate system and, as such, buffers us from the major impacts of global warming. Taking 1/100th of one degree from the ocean and releasing it into the atmosphere would raise the atmospheric temperature by 18 degrees Fahrenheit. Fletcher called the ocean the “800-pound gorilla in the climate system that absorbs excess heat.”

Whether a one meter sea level rise occurs by 2100 or whether it happens later (Fletcher said that carbon released into the atmosphere already ensures this will happen), forecasts indicate a number of dramatic changes for Kauai, and consequently all the Hawaiian Islands in relatively similar ways.

The majority of Hawaii’s population live in coastal plains where large ocean waves are going to increasingly “punch further into the islands.” At just over half a meter sea level rise, Fletcher said flooding will become an annual event. Worsening drainage and high tides means the water will have no place to go. With higher sea levels, it will take less rainfall intensity to cause the same amount of flooding.

“Eventually, you will be wondering if it’s fresh water or salt water that is coming into your living room,” he said.

Sea level rise, flooding and the greater impact of waves may also effectively transform many coastal communities in Hawaii into a series of barrier islands. “We’re going to be saying ‘aloha’ (farewell) to a lot of our beaches,” Fletcher said.

On Kauai, Fletcher said, nearly three-quarters (72 percent) of the sandy coastline is eroding at rate of about one foot (0.3 meters) per year.

Fletcher suggested planning for a possible sea level rise of one meter (3.2 feet) over the next 90 years. It’s high time to carefully reconsider what crops will be grown, where and how buildings and infrastructure are built and how people in Hawaii conduct their daily affairs, according to the UH professor.

“Climate-proofing our infrastructure and towns now could buy us a few generations of use for many of our communities, ” Fletcher said. “We should be building up (from ground level) and back (from the shoreline).”

Here Today, Gone Tomorrow

One of the earliest ecosystems to show evidence of climate change are coral reefs. Like other reef systems around the world, Hawaii’s corals are bearing the brunt of rising temperatures, accelerated erosion and greater terrestrial runoff, although to a lesser degree than other regions. UH research scientist with the Hawaii Institute of Marine Biology Dr. Paul Jokiel has studied coral ecosystems since the early 1970s. He said that climate change would adversely affect Hawaiian corals and all life that depends on them for survival.

“Dry areas will get drier, wet areas wetter and greater storm activity will bring more sediment onto the reefs,” Jokiel said, adding that increased severe storms, rising sea levels and greater ocean acidification can all lead to mass coral bleaching (the result of stress conditions) and mortality. Two significant coral bleachings in Hawaii occurred in 1996 and 2002.

“If we work real hard, we can probably hold temperature increases to 2 degrees Celsius. If we go much beyond that, the projections get pretty grim,” Jokiel said. “At an increase of 5 degrees Celsius, we’re talking about projections of a 90 percent decrease in crop production in Africa.”

Still, Jokiel said that even a 2 degrees Celsius increase will result in massive loss of coral reefs. Quoting a colleague, he noted that coral reef biologists may lose their own subject of study, but could at least provide a warning for the rest of the world as to the seriousness of climate change.

“Eventually, if we keep doing what we’re doing with the atmosphere and the oceans, we’ll reach a place where nothing will calcify and we may see an entire ecosystem go belly-up,” Jokiel said.

Pointing to a PowerPoint projection of a mass of sharply downward sloping lines from 50 research models tracking coral reef viability, Jokiel’s message is stark: “Everything is crashing.”

A warmer, more acidic ocean not only affects coral reefs, but also fish populations, mammals, zooplankton and algae. In Hawaiian waters, for example, scientists are reporting drops in the production of spiny lobster and monk seal pups that seem to be linked to documented increases in ocean temperature and a decrease in oceanic productivity.

Jokiel said the goal right now should be to limit temperature rise to 2 degrees Celsius through 2100. Rising 6 degrees Celsius would bring changes which, according to Jokiel, “you don’t want to see.”

Continuing, he said, “the CO2 we put in the atmosphere stays there unless part of it goes in the ocean. It doesn’t go away. The stuff we put in the air remains with us for thousands of years. On a geologic scale it doesn’t mean much, but for humans it means a great deal.”

As these and other Hawaii-based scientists continue their research and amass more data, the forecasts are growing increasingly consistent, all pointing to an immediate future in which Kauai and the other Hawaiian Islands are warmer, drier and more vulnerable to extreme weather events like torrential rains and drought.

Tomgram: Rebecca Solnit, Earth, Too Big to Fail?

[Note for TomDispatch Readers: For those of you rushing to make your last minute purchases at Amazon, remember that if you click there from a book link or book-cover image at this site and buy anything, TomDispatch gets a modest cut of your purchase. And in the holiday gifting frenzy, you might consider giving a copy of Rebecca Solnit’s recent book A Paradise Built in Hell: The Extraordinary Communities that Arise in Disaster to a friend. It’s fantastic and, unfortunately given the topic, a book for our moment — or if your friend is in a gloomy mood this holiday season, try picking up Solnit’s Hope in the Dark or her incandescent little book, A Field Guide to Getting Lost. And to make a rare plug for my own work, those of you who have been reading me at this site and are curious about how we got here, historically speaking, might consider buying a copy of The End of Victory Culture, my history of American triumphalism from its high-point to its crash-and-burn trajectory in Vietnam and again in Iraq and Afghanistan; or, if you’re in the mood for fiction, my portrait of the other world in which I’ve lived my life (as a book editor), The Last Days of Publishing, released in 2003 but eerily up-to-the-second — I even imagined a Kindle-like machine I dubbed the “Q” — for this downbeat book publishing moment.]

Just last week, a little air armada of at least five Hellfire-missile-armed unmanned aerial vehicles — robot planes to you — attacked an area in North Waziristan in Pakistan’s tribal borderlands, reportedly killing 15 or more people. It’s unclear whether these were all Predator drones or some were the more advanced Reapers — names that might well have come out of the sci-fi memory banks of the generation now flying them via console from hundreds, or even thousands, of miles away.

Late in the spring of 2010, the first three heavily-armed Reapers will reportedly gain a new all-seeing eye, a video system capable of filming “an area, two-and-a-half miles around, from 12 different angles” and be able to provide “up to 10 video streams simultaneously to 10 different users on the ground ‘within a wide area.’” In the future, improved versions of the system will be able to provide up to 65 video streams simultaneously. The system’s name is “Gorgon Stare.” The stare of a Gorgon, of course, comes from the deepest annals of sci-fi, ancient Greek-style, and could turn a human to stone. Our the stares of our Gorgons are far more likely to turn stone to rubble.

So consider the irony. If you’ve seen any of the Terminator movies or their ilk, you’ve probably noticed that the machines always seem to go after us. Strange, then, that in sci-fi terms if you live in Los Angeles or Topeka, the world of the Terminator films is nowhere in sight. Only if you happen to live in the Pakistani borderlands or in al-Anbar Province, Iraq, could you be pardoned (after viewing some pirated video) if you thought that that grim movie world in which machines implacably hunt and destroy humans was indeed springing into existence over your very skies.

In the meantime, as Rebecca Solnit, who often helps end the year at TomDispatch, points out, it’s our implacably dumb machines that are doing us in. Tom

Terminator 2009
Judgment Days in Copenhagen
By Rebecca Solnit

For Isaac Francisco Solnit, born December 17, 2009

It’s clear now that, from her immoveable titanium bangs to her chaotic approximation of human speech, Sarah Palin is a Terminator cyborg sent from the future to destroy something — but what? It could be the Republican Party she’ll ravage by herding the fundamentalists and extremists into a place where sane fiscal conservatives and swing voters can’t follow. Or maybe she was sent to destroy civilization at this crucial moment by preaching the gospel of climate-change denial, abetted by tools like the Washington Post, which ran a factually outrageous editorial by her on the subject earlier this month. No one (even her, undoubtedly) knows, but we do know that this month we all hover on the brink.

HOW THE FDA IS PAID OFF
…AND THEN SOME !!

By Arthur M. Evangelista, a former FDA Investigator
Web Site: http://www.qualityassurance.synthasite.com

Posted: 07 December 2004

This article is in response to the recent New York Times article, “At F.D.A., Strong Drug Ties And Less Monitoring” at: http://www.nytimes.com/2004/12/06/health/06fda.html?th

A special note from a former FDA Investigator…..

Please network this….more people must understand the FDA’s real agenda. The FDA is not as it appears….

The FDA is not protecting the public health; but rather it is involved with the methodical and deliberate subversion of the public health !!

The White House, Congress, Rx Drug Manufacturers, and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (among other agencies) are involved with widespread collusion and conspiracy in the furtherance of the criminal enterprises of the pharmaceutical drug cartels (organizations), which includes the bureaucratic corruption working in-hand with these drug cartels.

The criminal relationships consist of bribery & campaign contributions, illegal prescription drug marketing and regulatory practices, ethics violations, conflicts of interest (this has been reported, now, for over 15 years, PLUS !!… and it still has not gotten “fixed”, nor has justice been served….), and last, but not least, a long rash of unlawful regulations and laws to distract and weaken the public’s leverage and actions against government tyranny and corruption.

This includes the Food and Drug Administration’s targeting of the dietary supplement and natural medicines industry. This is basically providing strong-arm support (protection racket) for the pharmaceutical firms and their agenda, rather than an all out effort to protect the public health and apply some common sense and integrity to the few needed regulations required to keep Americans healthy. This is a quiet exercise in genocide, murder, depraved indifference…call it what you like…

It’s about time to start calling these people what they really are: Criminals. Active, dangerous, secretive, and cunningly deceptive criminals. These people’s Main Concerns, in exercise their professional duties, seems to be greed…be it money, power, or some other type of psychotic control over the general population. It is all too obvious.

They have forgotten their human, spiritual side. They have forgotten, WE THE PEOPLE !

Therefore, this is an unannounced domestic war between the people and their own U.S. government gone awry !

The government interests of greed, money, power VERSUS the People’s interests…life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

A very dangerous and very deadly war…whether semi-overt, as in Iraq, or quietly covert, our government harms the public by injurious catalysts and methods such as: POISONS : which negatively affects our health and cognition (our ability to think, to maintain normal energy levels, to be proactive, to be discerning….) Have you noticed ??
People are getting sicker !!!!

These chemical poisons alter the way we think and live !!
These chemicals are making us sickly and stupid…the dumbing down of America.
Well, isn’t a dictatorship or tyranny easier to accomplish with the population drugged up and in a pharmaceutical “stupor” ?? The answer is, OF COURSE IT IS !! If it’s an option, why not use it, especially if the people “do nothing”.
It cannot get any easier than that.

Poisoning through: water fluoridation, aspartame, splenda, useless and unnecessary toxic (yet legal) prescription drugs and medications, sickness-causing chemtrails, mercury, explosive vaccine morbidity and mortalities, MSG, polyvinylchlorides, depleted uranium, cutting back on the veteran’s benefits, vote fraud, and, let’s not leave out the destruction of the Earth and the erradication of our collective natural resources.

These resources, like the people’s patience, Mr. Bureaucrat, is NOT unlimited. Our patience is finite, and retribution and justice is long overdue. The time is here. This past election someone said, “We have to do correct our government’s corruption with either Ballots or Bullits…and we now know the ballots don’t work.”

As in the words of Franklin D. Roosevelt: “The American people are slow to wrath, but once that wrath is kindled, it will burn like a consuming flame !” Get your matches ready !!

We the People… can and will govern ourselves.. …and without the bureaucracy, fraud, and corruption. Amen

Politically speaking, tribal nationalism always insists that its own people is surrounded by “a world of enemies”, “one against all”, that a fundmental difference exists between this people and all others. It claims its people to be unique, individual, incompatible with all others, and denies theoretically the very possibility of a common mankind long before it is used to destroy the humanity of man: Hannah Arendt, from her book The Origins Of Totalitarianism p.227

“Now my friends, I am opposed to the system of society in which we live today, not because I lack the natural equipment to do for myself but because I am not satisfied to make myself comfortable knowing that there are thousands of my fellow men who suffer for the barest necessities of life. We were taught under the old ethic that man’s business on this earth was to look out for himself. That was the ethic of the jungle; the ethic of the wild beast. Take care of yourself, no matter what may become of your fellow man. Thousands of years ago the question was asked; ”Am I my brother’s keeper?” That question has never yet been answered in a way that is satisfactory to civilized society.

Yes, I am my brother’s keeper. I am under a moral obligation to him that is inspired, not by any maudlin sentimentality but by the higher duty I owe myself. What would you think me if I were capable of seating myself at a table and gorging myself with food and saw about me the children of my fellow beings starving to death.” – Eugene V.

Obama’s Af-Pak War Is Illegal
by Marjorie Cohn

President Obama accepted the Nobel Peace Prize nine days after he announced he would send 30,000 more troops to Afghanistan. His escalation of that war is not what the Nobel committee envisioned when it sought to encourage him to make peace, not war.

In 1945, in the wake of two wars that claimed millions of lives, the nations of the world created the United Nations system to “save succeeding generations from the scourge of war.” The UN Charter is based on the principles of international peace and security as well as the protection of human rights. But the United States, one of the founding members of the UN, has often flouted the commands of the charter, which is part of US law under the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution.

Although the US invasion of Afghanistan was as illegal as the invasion of Iraq, many Americans saw it as a justifiable response to the attacks of September 11, 2001. The cover of Time magazine called it “The Right War.” Obama campaigned on ending the Iraq war but escalating the war in Afghanistan. But a majority of Americans now oppose that war as well.

The UN Charter provides that all member states must settle their international disputes by peaceful means, and no nation can use military force except in self-defense or when authorized by the Security Council. After the 9/11 attacks, the council passed two resolutions, neither of which authorized the use of military force in Afghanistan.

“Operation Enduring Freedom” was not legitimate self-defense under the charter because the 9/11 attacks were crimes against humanity, not “armed attacks” by another country. Afghanistan did not attack the United States. In fact, 15 of the 19 hijackers hailed from Saudi Arabia. Furthermore, there was not an imminent threat of an armed attack on the United States after 9/11, or President Bush would not have waited three weeks before initiating his October 2001 bombing campaign. The necessity for self-defense must be “instant, overwhelming, leaving no choice of means, and no moment for deliberation.” This classic principle of self-defense in international law has been affirmed by the Nuremberg Tribunal and the UN General Assembly.

Bush’s justification for attacking Afghanistan was that it was harboring Osama bin Laden and training terrorists, even though bin Laden did not claim responsibility for the 9/11 attacks until 2004. After Bush demanded that the Taliban turn over bin Laden to the United States, the Taliban’s ambassador to Pakistan said his government wanted proof that bin Laden was involved in the 9/11 attacks before deciding whether to extradite him, according to The Washington Post. That proof was not forthcoming; the Taliban did not deliver bin Laden, and Bush began bombing Afghanistan.

Bush’s rationale for attacking Afghanistan was spurious. Iranians could have made the same argument to attack the United States after they overthrew the vicious Shah Reza Pahlavi in 1979 and the US gave him safe haven. If the new Iranian government had demanded that the US turn over the Shah and we refused, would it have been lawful for Iran to invade the United States? Of course not.

When he announced his troop “surge” in Afghanistan, Obama invoked the 9/11 attacks. By continuing and escalating Bush’s war in Afghanistan, Obama, too, is violating the UN Charter. In his speech accepting the Nobel Peace Prize, Obama declared that he has the “right” to wage wars “unilaterally.” The unilateral use of military force, however, is illegal unless undertaken in self-defense.

Those who conspired to hijack airplanes and kill thousands of people on 9/11 are guilty of crimes against humanity. They must be identified and brought to justice in accordance with the law. But retaliation by invading Afghanistan was not the answer. It has led to growing US and Afghan casualties, and has incurred even more hatred against the United States.

Conspicuously absent from the national discourse is a political analysis of why the tragedy of 9/11 occurred. We need to have that debate and construct a comprehensive strategy to overhaul US foreign policy to inoculate us from the wrath of those who despise American imperialism. The “global war on terror” has been uncritically accepted by most in this country. But terrorism is a tactic, not an enemy. One cannot declare war on a tactic. The way to combat terrorism is by identifying and targeting its root causes, including poverty, lack of education and foreign occupation.

In his declaration that he would send 30,000 additional US troops to Afghanistan, Obama made scant reference to Pakistan. But his CIA has used more unmanned Predator drones against Pakistan than Bush. There are estimates that these robots have killed several hundred civilians. Most Pakistanis oppose them. A Gallup poll conducted in Pakistan last summer found 67 percent opposed and only 9 percent in favor. Notably, a majority of Pakistanis ranked the United States as a greater threat to Pakistan than the Taliban or Pakistan’s archrival India.

Many countries use drones for surveillance, but only the United States and Israel have used them for strikes. Scott Shane wrote in The New York Times, “For the first time in history, a civilian intelligence agency is using robots to carry out a military mission, selecting people for targeted killings in a country where the United States is not officially at war.”

The use of these drones in Pakistan violates both the UN Charter and the Geneva Conventions, which prohibit willful killing. Targeted or political assassinations – sometimes called extrajudicial executions – are carried out by order of, or with the acquiescence of, a government, outside any judicial framework. As a 1998 report from the UN special rapporteur noted, “extrajudicial executions can never be justified under any circumstances, not even in time of war.” Willful killing is a grave breach of the Geneva Conventions, punishable as a war crime under the US War Crimes Act. Extrajudicial executions also violate a longstanding US policy. In the 1970s, after the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence disclosed that the CIA had been involved in several murders or attempted murders of foreign leaders, President Gerald Ford issued an executive order banning assassinations. Although there have been exceptions to this policy, every succeeding president until George W. Bush reaffirmed that order.

Obama is trying to make up for his withdrawal from Iraq by escalating the war on Afghanistan. He is acting like Lyndon Johnson, who rejected Defense Secretary Robert McNamara’s admonition about Vietnam because LBJ was “more afraid of the right than the left,” McNamara said in a 2007 interview with Bob Woodward published in The Washington Post.

Approximately 30 percent of all US deaths in Afghanistan have occurred during Obama’s presidency. The cost of the war, including the 30,000 new troops he just ordered, will be about $100 billion a year. That money could better be used for building schools in Afghanistan and Pakistan, and creating jobs and funding health care in the United States.

Many Congressional Democrats are uncomfortable with Obama’s decision to send more troops to Afghanistan. We must encourage them to hold firm and refuse to fund this war. And the left needs to organize and demonstrate to Obama that we are a force with which he must contend.

Quick Links: Darlene Love Unaired Top Ten Top Ten Winners Pants News Win Tickets



A Holiday Chat with with Darlene Love
	Q. Do you remember exactly how you became associated with David Letterman and “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)?” A. Yes, because it’s something that never happens. Paul Shaffer was playing Phil Spector in a play we were doing at the Bottom Line called “Leader of the Pack,” and he invited Dave down to see the show. He came down and he loved it. A few days later on the show he tells Paul that we need to get Darlene Love down here to sing that Christmas song. He said, “That’s the greatest Christmas song I’ve ever heard.” That’s how it started. I’ve only missed it one time and that’s when I had to go to Europe and I was over there doing a play. Other than that, I’ve been on every year consecutively. Q. Did you ever think it would become an annual tradition? A. No, because when we did it the first time it was just Paul, the house band and me, not even any background singers. So we thought, “This is cute.” And then every year they would call 2 or 3 days before they wanted me and I would say, “Okay, I’ll come.” Then they added 4 singers. Then, little by little by little we have come to this mass orchestra that we have now. Never in my wildest dreams did I believe that. Q. Is there one Late Show performance of “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)” that stands out? A. I think about 2 years ago it was unbelievable and I don’t know what happened. Before the show Paul has the singers rehearse for a couple hours, then the band rehearses about an hour or so, and then I come out and do about 4 or 5 takes. Every year we do this to make it as fresh as possible. About 2 years ago (after the performance) I got phone calls from my peers, which has never happened. Paul said that Bill Medley called him. I mean, people were calling like, “What in the world did you guys do tonight? That was fantastic.” I guess it was something special. I don’t know what it was, but we try to do it that way every year. Q. Have you gotten used to the freezing cold theater? A. It bothers me in rehearsal because the room is not filled with people. By the time I come out on the show and my energy level is so high, it’s amazing how I really don’t feel cold. Don’t ask me what happens. The minute I walk out there and the audience is waiting for me and all the lights and the band and everybody is so excited, I think it just revs us up. It’s not cold when we go out there. I always say, “Lord have mercy it’s so cold in this place, my voice is gonna crack.” But it never does during the performance. I told David one time, “I’m gonna wear my fur coat out here if you don’t make it warmer,” but I never have to. Q. What’s your favorite cover version of the song? A. Mariah Carey did a great version. I really loved her version. She came about as close to what I did as anybody. U2 just did their own version and that’s what it was, their version. But they also asked me to do the backup voices on it. I did the three voices. That was special because I had a part of the Christmas song that U2 did. Q. What’s the most underrated Christmas song? A. I did a Christmas CD a couple years ago. There’s one song that I had never heard of before and it was by The Band. It’s called “Christmas Must Be Tonight.” I went wow, what a great song. I did that on my Christmas CD and I do it in my show every year. It’s a great Christmas song. Q. Tell us a story about Mel Gibson or Danny Glover from when you did the “Lethal Weapon” movies. A. You know Mel Gibson was always somebody who’s starting stuff on the set. He’s a prankster. So we got him back one time. The girl who was playing my daughter, she had just had a baby. She had one of those carriages where you carry the baby in the front. So the prop people gave her a fake baby and put it in the pouch in the front. We were all sitting around talking and she jumped up and the baby fell out on the ground. We thought Mel was going to have a heart attack! He never messed with anybody again after that (Laughs). Tune in on Wednesday night for Darlene Love’s performance of “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home).”

CLAIMING YOUR ANCESTORS LANDS — ALLODIAL ISSUES…..

The following article was posted in the IOLANI – The Royal Hawk.

This message is being sent again because the EXHIBIT section was not covered.

The legal documents should contain the following in the following order:

1) Cover page (covers ancestors name, RP/Royal Patent Number, LCA/ Land Commission Award number

2) Affidavit/Certification (family genealogies)

3) Heirs and Assigns page

4) EXHIBITS (Write EXHIBITS in top right hand corner):
   a.   RP/Royal Patent LCA/Land Commission Award brief history (shows names of deceased owners and successors)
   b. Survey Notes (obtain from the Archives, Honolulu, Oahu, Hawaii) which shows the map, dimensions of the land(s). (ask the Archivist how to obtain your survey notes….. also ask how to look at the books available documenting awards from the Great Mahele/ Kamehameha III period, an extra step to take is to find out the testimonies in regards to the parcel(s)/lands belonging to your families.

5) JURAT, NOTARY page

6) Xerox two (2) or more sets. The notary usually wants to do only two (2) for a set. If more copies are needed for family members, you could make copies after the notary signs the documents, and even after the filing is completed.

7) obtain a notary signature from your Credit Union, bank — First Hawaiian Bank has a preferred customer account that you may be able to qualify for……worth it because the cost of a Notary will be nothing/free……….at the Credit Unions and some banks also give free notary signature……cousin paid about $50 a couple of weeks ago —$5 per notary signature.

8) take the two (2) sets of documents to the Bureau of Conveyances, Regular System section and pay $25 for a set which covers up to 20 pages. Any amount of pages over 20 will cost $1 per page.
