    There was no “Annexation” of Hawaii!

    As is stated by the comment on 4 Feb. “There was no “Annexation” of Hawaii! There is NO Treaty of Annexation between the Kingdom of Hawai’i and the United States. The US as in an “orgy of Empire building” could enact an annexation by the might of their military, and their Congress, but it is as foul a thing as the Nazi’s marching into France, and taking over and having the French sing for them, dance, and cook! while the Germans enjoy the view from the Eiffel Tower!…if the French had made he mau lei then I bet they’d have been compelled to do so too. The US can pass a resolution of Congress to annex Hawai’i-and doing so IS NOT like annexing Texas-we are 2000 miles away for one important thing. Hell, they could pass a joint resolution of Congress that the Moon is made of green cheese, and it wouldn’t make it so. So, yes, there is NO valid annexation only a hellish farce, and an evil occupation!

    To the comment from the 5th, it is like “annexing” Texas. This was just as illegal too. Both Hawai’i and Texas were illegally annexed by a joint resolution of Congress. No valid treay = no annexation. Period.

    Aloha,

    I belive that the annexation of the Hawaiian Islands is a bunch of covered up lies!

    I ran into this link http://www.enotes.com/topic/Legal_status_of_Hawaii and found it interesting, especially the parallel view by anti and pro nationalist.
    It seems as though the people in support of the annexation of Hawaii by way of a U.S. Joint
    Resolution may be leaning on that De Lima v. Bidwell, 182 U.S. 1 (1901) case where a treaty made by that power is the supreme law of the land.
    Perhaps in their land, but not in Hawai’i nei!

    One would think that due diligence would be applied by the U.S. when dealing with the independence of another country, but that was not the case concerning the Hawaiian Islands.

    It’s so hard to believe that the U.S. cannot see the obvious. If they can’t see that hewa
    what else are they failing to see? If this same situation happened to them they would
    be all over us to correct the problem!

    I think its good to let the talks begin, in other words give them enough rope and the will
    soon hang their own self!

    A hui hou!

    I am not a Hawaiian by liniage but what I am connects us indefinatly, I am a Jew from the tride of Judah of the house of David. I am very much interested in the solution to your problem, and I want to help. Has anyone considered the potential that exist by claiming your heritage as a lost tribe of Israel? of which you are. That making a declaration to the united nations on this founding principle would provide a path similar to that of the Palistinian state, and the Zionist movement, which has a proven success in sovernty. And the interesting reality is that this land which you are so vitaly connected too, Is the land of israel given to Joseph, By ELOAH (GOD) And that your heritage can and will be linked back to Menasseh, the first born son of Joseph. This path to sovernty is the only one that promises success with a government, support system, a return of all land, native people that have been miplaced, and the worlds most powerful military in Israel. You see for these Hawaiian people the return to the promised land only takes place conciously, because you are already inhabiting the land of Israel. But much like the romans occupying Israel during the time of The Messsiah, The united states (modern day Rome) occupies the territory given to Joseph. This is TRUE! please start making your return, You are part of Eloah’s (GODS) chosen people and have a birthright inheritance yet to receive!!! If anyone is listening please E-Mail me so that I can answer any of your questions or comments. Shalom…
