Ua Mau ke o ka ‘Aina i ka Pono
Jul 1, 2009 | 
I am appalled at the findings as I look back 50 years when Hawaii’s statehood was orchestrated. Last week marked the 50th anniversary of the vote for statehood. The 1959 plebiscite makes the recent Iranian elections look democratic.
But knowing there has still been no apology to Queen Liliuokalani and her multi-ethnic nation, why would I be surprised?
Statehood is a fraud. Hawaii is a nation in distress. If U.S. patriots (many native Hawaiians included) think they can live with that and believe international reconciliation will never happen, then what’s the point of anything? The implications are enormous.
You can steal the words, you can steal the nation but the truth remains: Ua Mau ke Ea o ka ʻAina i ka Pono.
