Hawaiian Kingdom Government

Greetings and Aloha,

 

Welcome to the website of the Hawaiian Kingdom Government presently operating within the occupied State of the Hawaiian Islands. Since the Spanish-American War, 1898, our Nation has been under prolonged occupation by the United States of America. Our web pages tell you about the range of activities carried out by the Hawaiian Government in developing our relations with the community of Nations in regards to the occupation and the profound economic benefits that arise from its exposure. Click here to download the Strategic Plan of the acting Council of Regency (208KB PDF document).

The primary objective of the Hawaiian Kingdom Government is to expose the occupation of our nation within the framework of the 1907 Hague Conventions IV and V and our domestic statutes, and to provide a foundation for transition and the ultimate end of the occupation of the Hawaiian Kingdom. Article 43 of the 1907 Hague Convention IV mandates that the occupying government, being the United States of America, must administer the laws of the occupied State, being the Hawaiian Kingdom, and any deviation of this mandate is a violation of international law. Presently, the Hawaiian Islands reluctantly serves as the HQ’s for the largest of the nine unified military commands of the United States armed forces in the world, U.S. Pacific Command (USPACOM).

Hawaiian sovereignty seekers take over palace in Honolulu

By MARK NIESSE – 1 hour ago

HONOLULU (AP) — A Native Hawaiian group that advocates sovereignty locked the gates of a historic palace in downtown Honolulu on Wednesday, saying it would carry out the business of what it considers the legitimate government of the islands.

State deputy sheriffs weren’t allowing anyone else to enter Iolani Palace grounds as unarmed security guards from the Hawaiian Kingdom Government group blocked all gates to the palace, which is adjacent to the state Capitol.

The group said it learned from Honolulu Police Chief Boisse Correa that arrest warrants were being prepared for the 60 or so protesters and would probably be served later in the day. Police have not confirmed that to The Associated Press.

Protest leaders said they were prepared to be arrested and would go peacefully.

Turn On, Tune In, Drop Deap: LSD Inventor Albert Hofmann, RIP

Nick Gillespie | April 30, 2008, 8:50am

The creator of LSD, Albert Hofmann, is dead at the ripe old age of 102 (he’s pictured at the right by artist Alex Gray). The man who launched a thousand trips first synthesized the drug in 1938 and then learned of its hallucinatory effects five years later, after accidentally ingesting it.

Moral Philosopher Questions Memory Manipulation

ScienceDaily (Apr. 30, 2008 ) -

Is medicated memory manipulation ethically sound? And perhaps more importantly, who should be charged with the decision to deliver such a treatment: patient or physician? Elisa Hurley, a philosophy professor, is seeking answers to these questions in her research currently underway at The University of Western Ontario.
In the Academy Award-winning film Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, a fictional, non-surgical procedure called ‘targeted memory erasure’ is used to delete painful memories the afflicted wish to forget - permanently.

And while the story’s science-fiction based concept earned the movie an Oscar for best original screenplay, real-life scientists are conducting clinical trials today using beta-blockers - drugs traditionally used for varying heart conditions - for manipulating the memories of people, who may go on to suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Militiamen ambush drives back US patrol in Sadr City

By KIM GAMEL – 2 hours ago

 

BAGHDAD (AP) — Dozens of fighters ambushed a U.S. patrol in Baghdad’s main Shiite militia stronghold Tuesday, firing rocket-propelled grenades and machine gun bursts as the American push into Sadr City increasingly faces pockets of close urban combat.

U.S. forces struck back with 200-pound guided rockets that devastated at least three buildings in the densely packed district that serves as the Baghdad base for the powerful Mahdi Army militia.

The U.S. military said 28 militiamen were killed as the U.S. patrol pulled back. Local hospital officials said dozens of civilians were killed or wounded.

Such street battles — in tight confines and amid frightened civilians — are increasingly becoming a hallmark of the drive into Sadr City and recall the type of head-on clashes last seen in large numbers during last year’s U.S. troop buildup in Baghdad and surrounding areas.

UFO in the sky in Decatur

What was it last night around Decatur that had people talking?

Friday night and into today, our newsroom has been flooded with people inquiring about a strange sighting in the western sky.

What did people see?

What we do know is that an object was in the sky that night. What it was is the focus of tonight’s WAFF 48 Investigators Report.

“I saw it coming thru the sky back that way and it”.

Cody Terry was driving by the Aquadome Recreation Center Friday night in Decatur when he happened to look up in the sky and he notice something strange.

When it was coming through the sky, I really thought it was an airplane that lost control so I came to a complete stop on the road.

Mike Malloy Wants 911 Truth

Understanding 9/11 leads to a place dark and evil. A deep dark hole where we are ruled by criminal psychopaths. Scary place in the middle of the woods. Not a lot of people go there. Especially after dark. But through chance or design some of us have gone there. And since we’re spread out all over the place … it’d be really fine to have a place to gather and talk about it. And the more company we have in that scary place in the middle of the woods … the less scary it is.”

And, so, Truthseekers, this: Beginning on tonight’s program we will devote at least one program a week - maybe more - to an examination of 9/11 from every angle we can think of. Some nights we will invite experts on various aspects of 9/11 to tell us what they know, and other nights we will discuss the topic among ourselves.

The benefit of knowing about 9/11 is in the knowing.

We are not a referendum or a scientific poll. As with any public comment process, participation in Open Humboldt Government is voluntary - and the statements on the website are not necessarily representative of the larger community.

‘Open City Hall’

‘Open City Hall’ and grant applications on the agenda

Jessie Faulkner/The Times-Standard

Article Launched: 04/22/2008 01:15:30 AM PDT

 

 

 

TRINIDAD — A relatively new resident has an idea for how the city’s citizens can provide input on the community’s business without setting foot in the Town Hall.

The “Open City Hall” proposal, the brainchild of retired software executive and Peak Democracy Chief Executive Officer Robert Vogel, is intended to broaden participation in democracy. Vogel moved to town last June but has owned a home here since 1999.

For those too busy to attend the twice-monthly meetings or not willing to sit through the sometimes lengthy proceedings, Vogel said his proposal allows comments on the city’s Web site adjacent to each agenda item.

Those interested, Vogel said, can participate online in the days before the meeting. The design of the proposed comment section, he said, is specifically crafted to generate civil, decent comments — not some of the less-than-polite dialogue that can prevail in blog comment sections.

The arrangement would be dependent upon the City Council members willingness to read and consider the comments, he said.

”We’ve done similar things like this elsewhere,” Vogel said, referring to the Kitchen Democracy.

The East Bay program serves the residents of Alameda, Berkeley, Kensington, Oakland and Santa Clara, according to the nonprofit organization’s Web site.

Vogel said his company would set up the system. After an introductory time, the city would be charged $50 per agenda item, he said.
