Below is the video of Dr. Keanu Sai’s presentation on his recent chapter “Hawai‘iʻs Sovereignty and Survival in the Age of Empire” published by Englandʻs Oxford University Pressʻ Unconquered States: Non-European Powers in the Imperial Age in December of 2024.
Below is the video of questions and answers of Dr. Keanu Sai following his presentation.
Appreciate your continued ‘educational’ efforts, Kumu Sai! Felt the Q & A session was too short! Yet suspect much gets SAID (yet not answered) on here regardless! 😊
Recently, President Trump signed a Presidential Memorandum directing the heads of federal departments and agencies to FOLLOW THE LAW & CEASE enforcing regulations that are ILLEGAL and UNCONSTITUTIONAL– like the endless Hawaii’s “Political Question” they refuse to address.
[Yes, can also be settled in international courts- which the acting HK HAS ALREADY DONE at Permanent Court of Arbitration (PCA) & HK IS STILL recognized as a sovereign, albeit Occupied, “State” aka country.]
Reflecting on Attorney General (an “agency”) Lopez’s FAILURE to follow through (to produce the non-existent “Treaty of annexation” and/or…), it SEEMS LIKE NOW HK CAN FORCE COMPLIANCE to “the law” regarding transitioning Hawaii to a (temp) military government, per US laws.
Unless— it’s deemed to be a risky move w/o proper WAKE UP of our population (due to media censorship)? 🧐

Aloha e Erin,
An attorney general for the “state of Hawai’i” is not an agency of the federal government, they are the chief legal officer and law enforcement official of the state government, not the federal government, they are elected officials.
The US attorney general however is the head of the department of justice, appointed by the US president, and confirmed by the US senate. Since the department of justice IS part of the executive department, and the US attorney general is the head of the department of justice, this memorandum would pertain to the US attorney general, but not a “state of Hawai’i” attorney general, as state attorney generals are not part of the department of justice, nor the executive department.
In other words, the US attorney general is a part of the federal government and a state attorney general is part of the state government.
Also, Trump is an expansionist and has openly admitted that US President McKinley is an idol and role model of his, he’s even suggested that US President McKinley should be added to Mount Rushmore lol and praised McKinley for his expansion of the US during his Presidential term (ie the illegal taking of the Hawaiian Kingdom)… I don’t think you need reminding of the McKinleys role in our fraudulent annexation and current occupation… there’s also the fact that Trump is literally trying to force Greenland and Canada to become part of the US and he’s threatening to take control, likely by military force, of the Panama Canal. Really all this executive memorandum is, is a reminder to federal departments and agencies to follow the laws and constitution of the US… essentially he’s telling them he’s gonna be watching them… when he wants to or when their actions are contrary to his motives anyways, but realistically, theres no real need or impact to tell federal departments to follow laws they’re supposed to be following anyways. Trump KNOWS the Hawaiian Kingdom was illegally annexed, he’s been served papers by the Hawaiian Kingdom council of regency… he hasn’t done anything to rectify that, and he wont willingly do anything to rectify it, otherwise he would have already… he’s proud of what McKinley did.
Appreciate your response, Aloha!
You’re right– EOs are targeting the FED level controls & NOT state level. Yet the recent prominently posted CV19 “Lab Leak” on White House.gov page WILL influence EVERYONE eventually. 🙂
Yes, DJT appears as a braggart at times, and other times a well spoken strategist. Given that WE ARE IN a covert global INFO war, I attribute those wide swings to the “Art of War” (Sun Tzu) i.e. “All warfare is based on DECEPTION”. That’s also why Tulsi’s role is very important too.
Hence what we SEE vs. the military actions differ. I already got confirmation (covertly from green’s office) to “expect a lot more arrests”. And our Kumu has casually told me that ‘there’s a lot going on BEHIND the scenes’. ABC News still has the Jan. 2021 post of NG man announcing “the peaceful transition to military power…”. And there’s a lot more PROOFS that we’re under a Continuity of Government (COG) . Ex-mil Derek Johnson (Rattletrap1776 on Telegram) has taught me a lot about military law & protocols:
Law of War Manual: signed June 12, 2015. Put together by Military and Federal Lawyers who took the Lieber Code 1863, Hague Conventions, Geneva Conventions, and Nuremberg Trials, plus the Law of War Manuals: United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and Germany, and combined those strengths to strengthen the Uniform Code of Military Justice, which is Military Law.
LAW OF WAR MANUAL:

McKinley CLEARLY was the trigger that illegally confirmed Hawaii as US’s “property” via 1898 Newlands Act, making the traitorous sugar barons happy to avoid ‘foreign’ tariffs while rooting expansive US military bases here too. Then he was assassinated in 1901, six months into his second term– WHY? Since US was founded by the secretive Freemason fraternity, was he taken out for what he was about to do– AGAINST their wishes?
Gulf of Mexico was renamed *just* to allow US OIL to still be drilled. Maybe the Alaska Mt. name change was to do the same? Most do not know that the US is the #1 oil producer in the WORLD & should have HAD low stable prices yet the oil industry has been owned exclusively by greedy corrupt oil barons with tentacles everywhere.
Greenland ALREADY has an underground US base there, some say also a prison where many of the mass arrested are.
Panama Canal was built by the US & ‘sold’ to Panama for cheap. Yet they lost control to CCP CHINESE who are also doing trafficking.
AG Lopez was placed Dec. 2022 (after DC mil takeover) so guessing her role is to continue to expose public corruption while maintaining a pseudo cover? https://www.civilbeat.org/2023/05/the-investigation-into-public-corruption-in-hawaii-is-very-much-alive/
Meanwhile, ex-mil Kumu Sai continues to EDUCATE us about the #NOtreaty fraud. And Hawaii is DEFINITELY softly REVERSING denationalization! Websites, UH diplomas, etc are all getting HAWAIIANIZED! 🌴
Even Google Ai now says, “Yes, the Hawaiian monarchy was overthrown in an ILLEGAL act” . McKinley High’s statute now has a permanent sign telling the ILLEGAL #NOtreaty overthrow– and more!
So, I’m just staying optimistic.

“The Order exempts, among other things, any action respecting a military, national security, homeland security, foreign affairs, or immigration-related function of the United States.”
Also the US relys on the American Service Members Protection Act aka the “Hague Invasion Act” enacted shortly after the Larson vs Hawaiian Kingdom case confirmed the continued existence of the Hawaiian Kingdom.
Wow. ASPA is a BIGGIE yet it’s clearly challenged bec’ it detracts from JUSTICE being served in the international arena. Yet Congress CAN repeal ASPA, so let’s see what is done under DJT…
Hague Invasion Act
The Hague Invasion Act, aka American Service-Members’ Protection Act (ASPA), was enacted in 2002 to shield US military personnel & Gov officials from prosecution by International Criminal Court (ICC). The act authorizes the president to use “all means necessary and appropriate” to secure the release of any US or allied personnel detained by the ICC, theoretically allowing US military FORCE.
In Nov. 2024, US officials invoked the act in response to the ICC’s arrest warrants for Israeli PM Netanyahu & his former Defense Minister. This move sparked backlash & renewed debate about the act’s implications for international law & US foreign policy.
I FOUND THIS ARTICLE w/ links DISCUSSING THE ISSUE: Following are some key points w/ capitalization added for emphasis.
https://www.justsecurity.org/108885/icc-immunities-heads-of-third-states/
1. The ICC website says that “[N]O ONE IS EXEMPT FROM PROSECUTION because of his or her current functions or because of the position he or she held at the time the CRIMES concerned were committed. Acting as a Head of State or Government, minister or parliamentarian does NOT exempt anyone from criminal responsibility before the ICC.”
2. Since the ICC is the permanent progeny of the Nuremberg & Tokyo tribunals, the ICC’s jurisdiction over officials of States not party to the Rome Statute is as VALID IN INTERNATIONAL LAW as were the respective jurisdictions of the Nuremberg & Tokyo tribunals over German and Japanese officials….
3. Article 38(1)(d) of the Statute of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) codifies the norm that decisions of courts of law & CONCURING SCHOLARSHIP of the most eminent jurists of the various nations are a subsidiary source of international law. [i.e. Dr. Sai’s scholarly evidence?]
4. Where there has been settled State practice—such as the settled practice expressed in Nuremberg Principle III which is repeated in all instruments of international law since 1945—THERE CAN BE NO CONTRARY “STATE PRACTICE” if such contrary “practice” is inconsistent (in relation to itself) or not generally accepted or is motivated by POLITICS.
4a. Can we then truly speak of “State practice” that undermines ICC’s anti-immunity norm when Putin ultimately did not attend BRICS meetings in South Africa and Brazil specifically because of the ICC arrest warrant?
5. In a resonant pronouncement in the Eichmann case in 1962, the Supreme Court of Israel correctly held that THERE IS NO BASIS FOR A DOCTRINE OF IMMUNITY, “when the matter pertains to acts PROHIBITED by the law of nations, especially when they are international CRIMES of the class of ‘crimes against humanity.’
6. Of such odious acts it must be said that in point of international law they are completely outside the ‘sovereign’ jurisdiction of the State that ordered or ratified their commission, and therefore those who participated in such acts MUST personally account for them & CANNOT SHELTER BEHIND the official character of their task or mission, or behind the ‘Laws’ of the State by virtue of which they purported to act.”
Fascinating. Appreciate you pointing me in this direction, Lance!
Trump dances foolishly to the tune of the central bankers! He is obviously partnered with the Optimates, not the Populares. CDFI funding is on the chop block so the TCJA (Tax Cuts and Jobs Act) is just another way to finance the interests on Trumps new loans. Its like we are watching a replay of how the Jews pawned England off.
Until the dummy head of the US is unmasked as the central bankers front man, the American people will suffer like the populares of Rome did without Julius Ceasar, or like the robber barons did before unmasking King John and his Jewish lenders.
Many Presidents have been clear and concise towards Americans for more than a century about who and where the threat to their country lay, with the money powers. The need for monetary reforms are critical and usury needs to be abolished for all in America, not just Jews (Hektar Iska Loan). While Jews have their customs spread over every land and are loyal to none, the people therein suffer extreme poverty as such financiers have no motherland and create their abundance ex nihilo.
The American class war continues under the veil of “America first” with the advice and consent of the optimates.
Heter Iska Loan
Aloha e Erin,
The ICC has no jurisdiction over the US, as the US is not a party to the Rome Statute and not a member of the ICC.
The US signed the statute in 2000 but never ratified it and later (in 2002) formally withdrew from the treaty.
Clearly, I need to study up– thanks!
The financial decoupling of China and the US is concerning as the Pentagon scrambles for suppliers to avoid obsolete armaments. China controls the supply chain, and is the factory for the world. Amidst this trade war, the financial powerhouses of China (ICBC-Ind. & Comm. Bank of China who owns $2 trillion more in assets than JP Morgan Chase) and the Chinese gov. is ready to put a floor on China’s stock prices seeing US importers go bearish. Forcing Chase and Bank of America out of the CATL IPO will create more volatility and prices will crash, especially if US investors have a total of $800 billion and decide to pull out.
On the flip side, Chinese investors are moving out of US assets and into EU bonds, gold and Japanese gov. debt. Japan will soon have to choose. Bank of America tracks $6 billion of foreign investors withdrawing their investments.
Foreign investors are sitting on an additional 20% of US equities ($370 billion) and 30% of US treasuries ($1.4 trillion), we may be witnessing an exodus of foreign investment in the US market.
Deutsche Bank sees more China clients moving out of US assets as $6 billion left US equities just last week (2nd largest amount on record). Chinese investors pouring their money into gold ETFs secured 138 tons in March, and for April we can expect more. If Chinese investors dump their $1.7 trillion, then it’s game over.
Trump needs to pick up the phone and make the call instead of playing stupid games teasing the media.
Trying to think ‘outside the box’ while reviewing Article VI, Section 2 of the US Constitution, aka he “Supremacy Clause” which says “ALL TREATIES MADE, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land and the judges in every State shall be bound thereby…”
MORE IMPORTANTLY, WHEN there are Treaty “INTERPRETATION” CHALLENGES, “The interpretation process begins by EXAMINING THE TEXT OF THE TREATY” & the context in which the written words are used…
So, WHERE IN “THE TREATY” does it say that ALL CROWN LANDS could be “SEIZED WITHOUT due process or recompense” as Queen Liliʻuokalani HAD protested with the US Senate on December 20, 1898? She had requested the return of the 1.8 MILLION acres of Crown & Hawaiian Government Lands & NEVER got a response! Let’s call for the Q again which WOULD require they produce their NON-EXISTENT “to reinterpret”! Right?
After annexation, these lands were “managed as a public trust” by the United States. Today, these lands, known as the “Ceded Lands,” are held by the State of Hawai‘i. The 1993 Apology Resolution acknowledged the ILLEGALITY of the TRANSFER and the fact that the indigenous Hawaiian people NEVER DIRECTLY RELINQUISHED THEIR CLAIM to these lands.
The seizure of the Crown Lands was a significant issue for Queen Liliʻuokalani and the native Hawaiian people, as it represented a direct loss of property and a VIOLATION of their rights.
(per A.I. that evidently is NOW programmed to ‘truth talk’ FINALLY!)
