Subject: UPDATE: UN Protest and Demand (South South News)
Date: October 26, 2012 7:53:19 AM HST
UPDATE. Last week when I was in New York city meeting with an ambassador and an official from the United Nations regarding the Hawaiian Protest and Demand that was filed on August 10, 2012, an invitation was extended to me to do an interview with South-South News about Hawai‘i as a sovereign and independent state. The interview was done this past Friday in New York City and today the video was posted on their website under the title “Experts on Development.” It was a great opportunity to share with a broader audience the prolonged and illegal U.S. occupation of the Hawaiian Islands and the impact it has today from a legal, political and economic standpoint.
South-South News is an initiative launched in February 2010 during the sixteenth session of the United Nation General Assembly High-level Committee on South-South Cooperation (SSC). The purpose for South-South News is to advance the implementation of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) through the sharing of best practices in the areas of South-South and Triangular Cooperation. South-South News disseminates news about Africa, Asia and the Pacific, Middle East, Eastern Europe, Latin America, and the Caribbean. South-South News is a digital media platform for the countries of the South that is facilitating, connecting, and publishing news on various efforts in sustainable economic and social development to audiences and multiple constituencies not only in the South but also around the world.
Imua!
Wonderful.
And yet, we have to listen closely to information that Dr. Sai shares with the world, and the U.H. community, but as far as I know he doesnʻt share it with the advocate community at nonprofessional levels. Yes, he states much in his dissertation, but when new routes of interpretation emerge (e.g. 2% Hawaiian Kingdom business tax vs. higher United States tax).
I know he has given presentations on the west side of Hawaii Island (I live on the East side of Hawaii Island)
I feel that because he doesnʻt let us in, we may be crippling the transition from occupied to restored state. The way I see it he doesnʻt trust the peons to be mindful as well as active.
Well, maybe I need to study harder http://www.hawaiiankingdom.org. Go back to the drawing board.
Aloha, if you want to listen to more videos by Dr. Sai, go to the Laulima Title website under PIX/VIDEOS and there you will find HOURS of discussion on the topic of the Hawaiian Nation w/ Dr. Sai.
