Clarifying Army Regulations and Terms Regarding a Military Government of Hawai‘i

After securing Phase I of the of the Council of Regency’s strategic plan where in 1999 the Permanent Court of Arbitration “verified the Hawaiian Kingdom as independent State and subject of international law,” Phase II was initiated to expose “Hawaiian Statehood within the framework of international law and the laws of occupation as it affects the realm of politics and economics at both the international and domestic levels.” This exposure has brought out many aspects of international law and the law of occupation that many have heard only for the first time.

There are terms such as international humanitarian law, which the military refers to as the law of armed conflict. International law distinguishes between a State and its government. What occurred on January 17, 1893, was that United States troops and a diplomat overthrew the government of the Hawaiian Kingdom. The Hawaiian State was not affected by the overthrow and remained a subject of international law with its rights and duties intact. This type of situation under international humanitarian law is called belligerent occupation where the Occupying State must administer the laws of the Occupied State until a treaty of peace comes into effect.

The only way the United States could have acquired the territory of the Hawaiian Kingdom, called the Hawaiian Islands, is by way of a treaty of peace that cedes Hawaiian territory to the United States. The United States was unable to acquire Hawaiian territory by a treaty of cession because it overthrew the government. A treaty requires the government of a State to cede its territory. Instead, the United States enacted a congressional joint resolution purporting to have annexed the Hawaiian Islands at the height of the Spanish-American War in 1898. Since 1898, the United States has been unlawfully imposing its laws over Hawaiian territory, which is the war crime of usurpation of sovereignty during military occupation.

In the case of Hawai‘i, we are dealing with role of the Adjutant General of the Army and Air National Guard. Under federal and State law, the National Guard can serve two commanders in chief but not at the same time. According to Article II, section 2 of the U.S. Constitution, the President becomes the commander in chief of the National Guard “when called into the actual Service of the United States.” Until that time, the commander in chief of the National Guard is the Governor of the State.

Article V of the State of Hawai‘i Constitution provides that the Governor is the Chief Executive of the State of Hawai‘i. He is also the commander-in-chief of the Army and Air National Guard and appoints the Adjutant General who “shall be the executive head of the department of defense and commanding general of the militia of the State.” Section 121-9 of the Hawai‘i Revised Statutes states, “The adjutant general shall perform such duties as are prescribed by law and such other military duties consistent with the regulations and customs of the armed forces of the United States as required by the governor.” In other words, the Adjutant General operates under two regimes of law, that of the State of Hawai‘i and that of the United States Army.

When the National Guard is called into State active duty, not federal active duty, the Governor is the commander-in-chief and has command and control. Under him is the Adjutant General that has command and control of the forces that have been activated. This is what occurred when certain units of the Army and Air National Guard were activated in 1992 when Hurricane Iniki devastated the island of Kaua‘i. Governor John Waihe‘e was the commander-in-chief and Brigadier General Edward Richardson was the Adjutant General. When the Hawai‘i Army and Air National Guard were called to federal active duty for deployment to Iraq during Second Gulf War in 2005, the commander-in-chief changed from State of Hawai‘i Governor Linda Lingle to President George W. Bush.

These American laws, however, don’t apply in the Hawai‘i situation. Unlike the other 49 Governors of States in the Federal Union their authorities derive from American laws that include both Federal and State laws. Because the State of Hawai‘i is outside of the borders of the United States, and as such is foreign territory, the authority of the State of Hawai‘i to include its Governor is stripped. The reason for this is the authority of the Governor derives from the 1959 Statehood Act, which under international law is a war crime. What allows the State of Hawai‘i to exist, however, is international humanitarian law and the law of occupation. Under these laws, the State of Hawai‘i is a civilian armed force acting for the United States as an occupying State.

The decision to establish a military government in foreign territory is not with the U.S. President as commander-in-chief but rather with the most senior commander of the armed forces in foreign territory that has come under effective control. Article 42 of the 1907 Hague Regulations states, “Territory is considered occupied when it is actually placed under the authority of the hostile army.” The State of Hawai‘i, and not the Federal government, is in effective control of 94% of Hawaiian territory.

According to United States Army Field Manual 27-5—Civil Affairs Military Government, the theater commander over foreign territory to come under military occupation bears full responsibility for establishing a military government. That person is a general officer and designated as military governor and is authorized to delegate his authority and title, in whole or in part, to a subordinate commander.

Section 8 of FM 27-5 states, “In occupied territory the commander, by virtue of his position, has supreme legislative, executive, and judicial authority, limited only by the laws and customs of war and by directives from higher authority.” Section 3 states that the reasons for establishing a military government “are either military necessity as a right, or as an obligation under international law.” And since military occupation “suspends the operation of the government of the occupied territory, the obligation arises under international law for the occupying force to exercise the functions of civil government looking toward the restoration of maintenance of public order.”

In this situation, it is the State of Hawai‘i Adjutant General that has the responsibility and duty to establish a military government for Hawai‘i under international law and begin to administer Hawaiian Kingdom laws and the provisional laws in accordance with 2014 Proclamation of Provisional Laws by the Council of Regency.

    • Professor David Sai
      Mahalo for this Proclamation to ensure that our Hawaiian Kingdom is still true and in place since our last monarch Queen Liliuokalani. That she only surrendered to save her People, and that an act of war crime was committed by the United States against her and her Kingdom. Everything from the day of her death to this present day is Null.

      How can We as a Kingdom and your appointment as Counsil of Regency be announced to every resident of these island chain? Help in the restoration of Lahaina? It is my belief that Lahaina was attacked by a government to bring into fruition the first Smart City of Maui. How does homes, a community burn leaving it in white ASH and not blacken ASH? How is it that trees have burned from the inside out? Animals burned in its place still w it furs? Who is responsible of the horrific mass murder to the community of Lahaina? Will there be a meeting between your establishment and GovGreen? He needs be honest. Why did he go to the United Nation and LIE about the devastation. Why is United Nation involved in our situation? There are many children (1000+) missing, are they deceased or taken for trafficking?

      Who is selling the lands to those of lavish lifestyle? Half of Lanai is owned by a foreignor, why, who, when and how was that transaction Approved? When do you step in to STOP these purchases? These lands is OURS to keep, to farm and feed.our communities. To learn, to teach, to be Hawaiian Kingdom.

      There are many who cannot imagine not being an American. After all these years and meant to believe in the American lifestyle. How can we reprogram the People to believe in Hawaiian Kingdom. Making it all Pono inside and out for everyone spiritually, emotionally, mentally.

  1. Now the Perpetual Life, of International and Humanitarian Law. Begins the Grind of Justice Consuming All False Narratives to Rest…IMUA

  2. With Humble Respect, in regards to Dr. David Keanu Sai, Ph.D and the Council of Regency, “I THANK YOU ALL, very much for Clarifying Army Regulation and Terms Regarding a Military Governtment of Hawaii….what their responsibilities are, ‘E ALA E, I, myself, need to be ho’omanawanui, be ha’aha’a and be ‘Onipa’a. Verifying and Simplifying my understanding of the many TRUTHFUL, Fact-findings,that you ALL have identified and shared about our Hawaiian Kingdom, “UA MAU”, Forever, HAWAII NEI….my/our home. As being an Independent State and Subject of International Law and Laws of Occupation……ALOHA ‘OE, OHANA KUPAU- from Kamanu/Kamani- Pukuilua, Hana 2023.

        • The Palapala Sila Nui DID in anctuality include statement such as “Kamehameha IV, ke ali’i a ke Akua” & “ma ka lokomaikai o ke Akua”. So to deny God and Jesus or in the absolute least our ali’i’s belief and faith in them, would be denying the rights to lands we were given in their name or through power vested in our ali’i from Ke Akua. Just saying, we can’t only accept the parts of our history we agree with or like, we have to accept it all or nothing at all.

          • It’s not about accepting the parts we agree or like. It’s about knowing that the God of Abraham is the God of the Israelites, not Hawaiians…although “even dogs may eat the scraps off the masters table.”

          • And I’m not trying to be condescending but that scripture is proof that Jesus knew the Canaanites had no part in the Mosaic, Palestinian, or Davidic Covenant with God. So Jesus made an exception for those who knew they didn’t deserve salvation and essentially created the New Covenant for the faithful dogs/servants so to say. The New Covenant is not however a Covenant with the God of Abraham but with the son of God and his disciples. This New Covenant has been co-opted by the Church which now prostitutes itself out to the State as nonprofits for the sake of Christendom. This is why the Church cannot deal and do not attempt to address institutional and systemic sins caused by the corruption of the teachings of Christ under the Doctrine of Discovery as interpreted the Papal Bulls and by US Supreme Court rulings. The original Charters thus granted to the European monarchs by the Vatican are still operational today. Don’t get me wrong, our alii was akamai as they used Christianity as a coin to enter into the Family of Christian Nations under the New Covenant, not as Israelites in deed but by birth or being born again via baptism.

  3. Is anyone else getting error messages on the Kingdom blog and website every once in awhile when visiting? I’m starting to think something is going on, it’s a little suspicious, it’s almost like someone is trying to shut the site down 🤔… or hacking it.

  4. Kumu, drop one of those analytics post regarding the traffic on this site. It would be a nice check-up on the regions of people who is checking in on this site and getting informed. I would imagine it has grown since the last post of the same kind.

  5. I have an idea worth mentioning,

    1. Is it possible to file the same exact suit as Larsons but in my person and have the same effect of being heard by the Court of Arbitration and officially invite the United States Government again to join the case?
    2.if so, then I wonder what kind of exposure all this would get if every Hawaiian National willing files a suit the same way. And if the United States would even be comfortable denying an invitation 10 times, 100 times or 1000 times right? Man the news and media would have no choice but to swallow that up and report on it. Which may just be enough to force the U.S.’s hand in the matter…?

    And, it would establish an official public record of each individual by name, their declaration as a Hawaiian National, the Hawaiian Kingdoms responsibility to protect its citizens as stated in the Larson case, and each Hawaiian National will be filed with the PCA.Article 47.

    That’d also be great way to establish a head count of supporters.

    Idk maybe not… but there has to be something the rest of us can do that can make an impact

    • Hi Charles,
      I’d like to provide my understanding that I have shared many times what we can do to make an impact. First, you have quite a lofty idea to get the attention of mainstream media however I believe we as a national population still need a lot of training especially about commerce and trade because the entire world trade system depends on commerce, it’s principles and reasonable standards of fair dealing. We basically have no backbone and are at the mercy of Federal trade and commerce. With that said, the cost to recreate an adhoc PCA tribunal for each individual would be expensive, not to mention the UNCITRAL rules which requires consent of the parties. This was explicated in Larsen. The record of such cases would be nice however we would still have to stand on our own upon the returning to our territory.
      You see, we, as Hawaiians, trade our labor as in our territory for privileges and benefits of US citizenship in order to earn a living or else we would suffer not being able to work. We contract with the Fed’s, State or one of there employers in order to make a living. So we must come to understand the Federal commercial system & state regulations and procedures in order to survive or better yet thrive.
      It is my mana’o that if we intend to make an impact then we must stand on our square, stop trading our labor with successors of usurpers and their associates for Social Security, know the Uniform Commercial Code as codified in your state of residence, execute and exercise your own civil, commercial and political rights (not US constitutional guarantees except for the supremacy clause) which are not self executing just as the Liliuokalani-Cleveland Restoration Agreement, manage our commercial affairs accordingly, and start demanding Congress administer the Liliuokalani-Cleveland Restoration Agreement instead of protesting this State project and that Fed development issue using Federal or State laws. When we act as such we simply box ourselves, and the issue, within the Federal matrix which is understandable given that we grew up within it. But until Hawaiians stop acting like US citizens and stop the usury of US privileges, only then will Hawaiians know their birthright which does not come with a Social Security card. It is our legal identities that are based in legal quicksand, not our body’s, mind’s nor soul’s. Thus we must study!

  6. Just to share: I believe Marlene Sai is Keanu’s Aunt. On 2 Sep 2016, she portrayed Queen Lili’uokalani before a general public audience (obviously only a few students) at UH – moving! The camera slowly pans all the faces of those listening to the words of the Queen echoing from a century distant, and “the Queen” answers a question of what she would like her people to think in a hundred years from that day. https://youtu.be/usFbZE-vrj0

  7. A factoid I just ran across: The Honorable Senator from Alabama, Second Grand Dragon of the KKK, namesake of the Morgan Report, was born John Tyler Morgan. (June 20, 1824 – June 11, 1907) He died on King Kamehameha Day! How’z dat?!

  8. Keanu, JOE ROGAN is PRIMED for a Kingdom awakening (along with the largest – by far – listening audience in the world!) Search “Joe Rogan and Hawaii” on YT – several instances where he shares his love for Hawai’i and its people; has remarked that’s “it’s a different country” bc it’s unlike anyplace in the USA; says he think it should be its own sovereign place; has asked about the “why’s” of the TMT protest, thinking its limited to just a “native issue,” the assumption continued with Neil deGrasse Tyson (linked below). / It would require a trip to Texas, which may be helpfully coordinated with Rogan through the “Hello My Name is America” team who interviewed you on the program “Strangling Hands Upon a Nation’s Throat” – linked below, too, along with two other sample Rogan shows where he talks about Hawai’i, esp the Big Island.

    The awakening effect of the Hawaiian Kingdom on the consciousness of the USA people can be profound – as the bottom link reveals – just listen to their amazement and the umbrage they take at the injustice.

    De-occupation might be from the “HI state” level upwards (bc state officials aren’t going to comply without orders from the Fed Executive Branch), but a simultaneous EAducation of the USA people can only be a GIANT plus in raising awareness; it would be a topic of amazement and would multiply in big numbers and spread. AND, this is the kind of subject Rogan might have on a recurring basis for updates! ROGAN IS PRIMED!

    Spotify: “Strangling hands upon a nation’s throat, hosted by “Hello My Name is America”

  11. I have a hard time conceiving of an AG taking any action along these lines absent the Governor’s ascent and, in turn, can’t conceive the Governor acting unless a directive came down from POTUS. All military FM’s (Field Manuals), rules & regulations are based on the supposition that command authority emanates ultimately from the President, even though you might find guidance that says, “In occupied territory the commander, by virtue of his position, has supreme legislative, executive, and judicial authority, limited only by the laws and customs of war and by directives from higher authority.” Especially in our “strange form of Occupation,” which has been on-going for 130 yrs, the likelihood of cajoling compliance at the AG or Governor’s level, absent POTUS’s Executive Branch involvement, I think is slim. / Mens rea (“guilty mind”) has different shades and is balanced & measured on reasonableness of what someone reasonably believes. Alleging the commission of “war crimes” directly toward those we seek compliance from, might not be the best approach, even though technically the allegation is correct – more accurately, the allegation should be the commission of “a strange form of war crimes,” tempering it more to fit the denationalized state of mind most officials are in. / With the goal being to compel compliance, I think a heightened PR approach would go very far in preparing the battle space; hence, my suggestion to reach out to the Joe Rogan Podcast. It would have a tremendous impact on the USA’s consciousness, but even more so, back here as that spotlight would boomerang and be magnified in our local officials consciousness. Part of Judge Kobayashi’s problem was that her denationalized mind couldn’t permit her to fully grasp the reality (cognitive dissonance?). More emphasis on public relations and outreach to podcasts (not just Rogan’s) would have a force multiplier effect for effecting compliance. Future advisements on the commission of a “strange form of war crime” would sink-in deeper. / I highly recommend a listen to that podcast interview found on Spotify I referenced to in another post: if you search “Strangling Hands Upon a Nation’s Throat” produced by “Undivided Nation” (hosted by a husband/wife(?) couple from Texas, who once met Keanu at an event at ‘Iolani Palace & later arranged an on-air interview), listen to Part 4 where Keanu lays it all out in just 42-mins. Then, imagine Keanu (& Dexter, or other) having 3-hrs to explain it all! It would have a Mega Impact! (That same Texas couple might be prove to be facilitators to making it happen – perhaps? – since they live in Texas where Rogan broadcasts from.) / As mentioned previously, Rogan is especially interested in Hawai’i, its people, culture, life style, and has asked more than a few times, “what are the Mauna Kea protests about…what’s the root causes, he has tried previously getting answers to, but the particular guests were not knowledgeable themselves, like Neil deGrasse Tyson, Rosanne, B.J. Penn, et al. / Anyway, just food for thought. Aloha!

          • That’s great that you tried! Maybe you can consult w/ Keanu and let him know exactly how you went about it so that he might use a different tack. For a big show like that, it will take strategizing by first getting intel: such as reviewing previous recordings where the topic of Hawaii came up in order to find different hooks.i ones I found quickly were from YouTube searches; the only Rogan shows on YT are just his shorter clips where “Rogan Hawai’i” scored some hits. All his long form shows are on Spotify. Matched searches on Spotify could be crowd-sourced by us as long as we get the go-ahead from Keanu and the searches are coordinated (different date periods search by different crowdsource searchers. And, Keanu would be best suited to put feelers out to that Texas husband/wife podcast team I mentioned to see if possibly they have any inroads to Rogan. I think Rogan’s gatekeepers will he where the hurdle is at; therefore, any personal contacts or connections would help. Maybe B.J. Penn can be contacted to see how he got into Rogan and WHO to contact with tel #’s or emails. A zoom call amongst all those interested in crowdsourced, hosted by Keanu, Dexter, Kale, or other (those who know the tech and the grand strategy, angle, approach, etc). / In the meantime, lesser known podcast interviews would be a good practice field. Podcasters are hungry for unique shows; there’s dozens they would want this topic (e.g., Did you know Hawai’i is not a US State? kind of a dangle. / The thing is, I’m certain Keanu is totally engrossed with writing all the time and might not have the time to do all the coordinating. Maybe Dexter, Kau’i, Kale or other could put an Aha (right word?) together to put it all into motion. / I think news from the USA that there are growing podcasts about THK going on, it will get a lot of attention back here of those officials who need some fire under their feet (pricking their conscience) = resulting in heightened mens rea (“guilty mind” – shame…which good people are capable of – there are MANY of those here in THK!).

  12. Just something to share here about US Minister, John Stevens. (It had caused me to research Senator John Taylor Morgan, too; to my (non-)surprise, he died on King Kamehameha Day, 11 Jun 1907.)

    Posted on IG with source docs & period newspaper clippings:

    “Sad that any parent’s child dies and this is not meant as a “see what happens when you do wrong?!” castigation, but it does inform the not so well known facts of what became key historical figures afterwards Minister Steven’s died two years after the illegal overthrow that he was instrumentally involved with, instigated even, under the color of law as the US representative to the Hawaiian Kingdom. No one is perfect, “no, not one.” We should draw lessens from life in all ways that the circumstances of life teaches us. The Hawaiian Kingdom’s motto translated roughly us, “The Life of the Land is Perpetuated in Righteousness.” Do right, be right, and goodness eventually reigns. Aloha!”
    Wikipedia:

    “John L. Stevens was married to the former Mary Lowell Smith[37] of Hallowell, Maine, on May 10, 1845.[38] The couple had one son and three daughters, one of whom drowned on January 20, 1893 – three days after the Hawaiian overthrow Stevens helped engineer – and an event said to have sent the diplomat into crippling depression.

    “Hon. John L. Stevens died at his home in Augusta, Maine, at 4 a.m. on February 8, 1895, of heart disease.”

    • From Stevens’ own obit in Maine, it’s learned:

      “…Miss Mary L. Smith of Hallowell, who survives him, together with a daughter. Of their four children, two died in infancy, while the eldest daughter was drowned in Honolulu.” The place of her drowning was actually off the Big Island at the “Kukaiau landing” along the Hamakua Coast.

    • Daughter: Nellie M. Stevens d: 25 Oct 1902, age 43
      Boston – Mellitus Diabetes x 2 yrs, Coma suppression of
      urine – 24 hrs, single, no children.
      No other off-spring survivors, end of the John Leavitt Stevens line.

    • Sad. Truly. He sacrificed. Thanks for sharing!
      On the other hand, the so called “Liberator of Hawaii” Henry E. Cooper faired very well after the insurgency in the establishment of our territory as an American trade and military outpost. He was very instrumental and eventually became a Free Mason but only after the insurgency and in 1895 became the first Master of the Hawaiian Lodge. It is quite interesting how many positions he took on and how much he gained. The same goes for the number of secret society lodges that existed here during the Monarchy and Insurgents era. Aside from the Free Masons and Honolulu Rifles however it was the Knights of Pythias that the Queen first encountered aggression from while temporarily ruling in the absence of her brother. More importantly, the Knights of Pythias received the first Congressional charter after the Civil war. This is significant because it was Congress that obstructed the Liliuokalani-Cleveland agreement and attempted to discredit the basis for it, the Blount Report.

      • Lopaka, Very interesting! I didn’t know ANY of this re secret-societies’ involvement. But, it makes sense. What better petri dish to incubate sedition! 130 yrs was such a short time ago (esp from a perspective gleaned of genealogy research) – it was just like yesterday. The injustice is still very fresh. / I was thinking that Morgan had a large part in thwarting Cleveland & his “investigation” was a delay tactic, rather than fact finding, until Cleveland’s term expired. Morgan was a secret society guy, too: “Alabama’s 2d Grand Dragon of the KKK. / There was a “J.F. Morgan” on the provisional govt council. By wild chance, I wonder if he was somehow related to Sen John Taylor Morgan. Do you if he was? / Coincidentally, I just ordered last night John & (daughter) Nelli Steven’s joint book, “ Picturesque Hawaii; a Charming Description of Her Unique History, Strange People, Exquisite Climate, Wondrous Volcanoes, Luxurious Productions, … Recent Revolution and Provisional Government.” It’s got only one review with a 1 star rating – that’s good! 😄 There’s a “disparaging” section on Queen Lili’uokakani’s “corrupt” governance & praise for the provisional government & republic – it’ll be interesting to get into their heads and try discerning motivations, mindset, perspective. I just thought a wild comparison would be reading Charles Manson’s auto-bio! / If the USA doesn’t stumble into WWIII, I’m very confident the injustices done will be reversed. I hope to see it in my lifetime (heading to 70 now in ab 1/2 yr). / This is NOT partisan political stuff, but, I find it interesting that RFK Jr was born on 17 Jan; that I just heard him today in an interview when pressed about who he might pick for Sec of State, and he refused to answer saying he didn’t want to telegraph such things this far out, so he overtly avoided giving an answer. But at the sane time, generally speaking about various political philosophies out there, he again refrained BUT he did say one name: Tulsi! Not for, Sec of State, per se; my take was that she’s in his mind as a VP pick. And, LTC Gabbard, Cdr, 440th CIVIL AFFAIRS (!) Battalion will be completely a one yr command position next Spring, just in time to “resign” or out on hold her career in the HI Nat’l Guard (!) to join Kennedy on the campaign trail – this isn’t “politics” in my view, it’s a possible dream team alignment of the stars that COULD bode fantastically well for THK’s future. Not counting on it, but… just watching the developments. / Aloha!

        • Idk about them Morgan’s but RFK Jr, Trump and Dr. Cornel West makes for quite an election. But we need as a people to claim our inheritance in land court. Consider the leases for Makua and Pohakuloa are expiring by 2029. Many of those lands need to be cleaned and the damages need to be accounted for as they were many private parcels of which the Federal government is liable. We must hold them to task!

  13. Off topic (sort of): Am watching a Lā Ho’i Ho’i Ea 2021 vid where Keanu mentions, that, “Queen Lili’uokalani died without a last Will and Testament.” Can that be?! It seems incredulous! It makes me suspicious that the forces around her might have destroyed it, bc it might reveal some “troubling” clauses that they deemed misinformation which the public needed protection against – then burned it. It just seems WAY too out of character for her not to have executed such an “Aloha ‘Oe,” doesn’t it?!

  14. Below intro is an excerpt from “Picturesque Hawaii; a Charming Description of Her Unique History…Corrupt Monarchy, Recent Events Revolution and Provisional Government.” By John Leavitt Stevens, Ex-U.S. Minister, (1820 – 1895), Published 1894

    Intro:

    A lot of historical insight into the insurrection’s hearts & minds from this antique book! The self-righteousness of the perpetrators is stunning! Hmm…did you know that America had an “inherent, primal power,” that, “exists outside of and independent of the written constitution.”? I neva know dat!

    (I recently posted this to my Instagram: williamjennings2021 https://instagram.com/williamjennings2021?igshid=OGQ5ZDc2ODk2ZA== but there’s much more ‘ike compiled at Telegram: “TheHawaiianKingdomIZ”)
    
    Inside the minds of would be Annexationists – but Hawai’i was never Annexed per law & US Constitution:

    Excerpt:

    “None have advocated the value of Hawaii to the United States more eloquently than John T. Morgan…who sees clearly the immense importance of future American interests in the Pacific. The history of nations conclusively shows what the ablest expounders of international law plainly teach, that the annexation of foreign territory is an act of national sovereignty. This inherent, primal power of a nation exists outside of and independent of the written constitution…The assumption of construing the constitution of the United States to be supreme against our national life, prosperity and absolutely independent authority, will never be admitted by patriotic Americans, nor by sagacious American statesmen. The acquisition of the Hawaiian Islands by the United States is plainly a national necessity and a national duty…This rich prize is now freely offered to the United States. It can not be possible that the American people and the American statesmen will refuse to accept it. To spurn and reject this important and thoroughly American colony, planted by some of the most devoted of American sons and daughters, fostered by American benevolence and sympathy, aided by a million dollars of private contributions, encouraged for more than sixty years by the American government to abandon the people of this colony now at this crucial period of their history would be cowardice and inhumanity, which no self-respecting Christian nation will be guilty of, the least of all the great American nation, whose vast opportunity in the North Pacific, it would be a great want of wisdom and patriotism to ignore…”
