Hawaiian Independence?
How? They misread history by claiming Hawaii is not really an American state. The root of this confusion has to do with how Hawaii was legally acquired by the USA. In 1898, the Republic of Hawaii gave sovereignty of the islands to the United States. As the internationally recognized government of the islands, it was entitled to do this. At that moment, Hawaii became an American possession under international law.
Was this legal? The Hawaiian Revolution of 1893 overthrew the monarchy of Hawaii. Was this legal under prior Hawaiian Law? Of course not. All revolts are illegal under the laws of the nations who have to deal with them. The Cuban Revolution was illegal according to Fulgencio Batista. The Russian Revolution of 1917 was illegal according to the Czar of Russia as well. However, do we recognize the legal rights of the current Cuban government? Do we acknowledge that the Russian revolutionaries had the right to vote away the sovereignty of the Russian state and give it to the Soviet Union? We all do. This is the same as the legal status of Hawaii. The rebels of 1893 in Hawaii won and their actions as a government are just as legal under international law as the actions of those of the current Cuban regime.
Deny this fact and your denying any current legal internationally recognized state that has it origins in any revolution or coup! This includes the USA, France, the United Kingdom, etc. The fact that a single American gunboat assisted in the Hawaiian Revolution of 1893 does not change this. The Soviets aided Castro and the French helped the Americans at Yorktown in the American Revolution as well. The resulting governments are still internationally recognized.
Further, Hawaiian citizens voted to join the USA as a state. And the United Nations recognized the vote! The vote was overwhelming as it was 8-1 in favor of statehood.
Hawaiian separatists deny this vote based on two points. One, the vote allowed American military personnel stationed in Hawaii to vote. If the vote had been close, this would be a valid point. However, if you take away the votes of the military, the result would have been the same. Hawaiians voted overwhelmingly in favor of statehood. The military vote does not change the final result.
The second point is that the vote is illegal under UN rules as there was no choice for independence on the ballot. However, the UN certified this vote by removing Hawaii from the list of non self-governing territories. As this was a requirement of the UN, the UN had the legal right to interpret the vote. Hawaii was deemed to be a part of the USA by the international community by this action of the UN.
You might think a referee is wrong in a football game, but despite a bad call, the results of the game are still upheld later. This is the case of Hawaii and the UN. Maybe it was the wrong decision (and the size of the Hawaiian vote indicates it was not), but the results are still binding. Hawaii = USA and the world agreed.
All the rest of the stuff that comes from these Hawaiian Independence sites is based on the flawed logic that Hawaii is currently undergoing occupation by the USA and that the Kingdom of Hawaii still legally exists! This logic then leads these sites to argue that Hawaii should be allowed to secede from the USA (or in their words restored) without a vote of the people of Hawaii. Further, if there ever was a vote, any one without the correct magic DNA (the majority of Hawaiians!) would be denied a vote as only Hawaiians with ancestors who were citizens under the Hawaiian Kingdom would be allowed to vote in the new government. That is a cause that is assured to go nowhere. Can you really see world opinion swinging in favor of the disenfranchisement of the majority of Hawaiian citizens? Grandfather clauses are so post-Civil War American South...
The US Congress apologized for any past injustice in Hawaii in 1993. This was a political move to shore up support amongst Democratic voters. It may have helped in Hawaii but the Democrats lost control of both houses of Congress in the 1994 election anyway. This resolution has no legal force of law and is merely a PR act equivalent to the state of New Jersey declaring April 4th State Cherry Pie Day. Yet, the separatists always point to it as some great proof that Hawaii is not American...
The final argument is this. If the USA does not legally own Hawaii, why haven't the majority of people heard of this before? If the Hawaiian vote of 1959 was interpreted illegally by the UN, why didn't the Soviet Union veto it? They were pretty good at doing their best at making the USA look bad. Why haven't current American antagonists made an issue of this? China hasn't even when they are critiqued about Tibet. Cuba, Iran, and North Korea are silent on this point. If Hawaii is not American and there was any legal case internationally to be made of this, don't you think the UN, the World Court, and the international media would be all over this? The deafening silence you hear tells you exactly what the world community believes about Hawaii and the USA.
This issue will probably go away in another century or so. Nature being what it is most Hawaiians will eventually have DNA from both the original Hawaiians and the "occupiers" by then. (You don't hear claims now from Saxons complaining about the injustice inflected on them by the Normans in 1066 do you?) It would be pretty dead now if it were not for the Internet and the ability of every fringe group to have their message heard on the Web. As it is, it will probably provide another generation or two of radicals the opportunity to confuse the public and be paid speakers on the university anti-American circuit.

For a more detailed analysis of this issue, see the document "Hawaii Divided Against itself Can Not Stand" located at http://www.hawaiireporter.com/file.aspx?Guid=aefef5f6-a533-486a-9459-691138355dd1. It was written by constitutional law expert Bruce Fein. It does a good job of refuting the the mistaken Congressional apology of 1993. It also shows why the Akaka Bill being proposed is a bad idea. Pay attention to part 9 on page 2. The international community recognized the Republic of Hawaii. As such, that government had the legal right to hand sovreignty to the USA. The whole core idea of the Hawaiian Independence dies with the one point.

"You don't hear claims now from Saxons complaining about the injustice inflected on them by the Normans in 1066 do you?" Actually, you do. It is pressed into service as part of the class war agenda of parts of the left. Quite a giggle, really.

Those coups were committed by citizens of their respective countries. The coup in Hawaii was commited by American citizens, not Hawaiians. The putchers were AMerican businessmen. They were not Hawaiians. The leaders of the Hawaii Republic were all American citizens. It's not as if a bunch of HAwaiians decided to over throw their government, nonHawaiians did it for them! There is a fundamental difference in the Hawaiian overthrow and the ones that you discussed. The people who ran the Republic of HAwaii were not even citizens of the Republic of Hawaii.
- Miland said...
"There is a fundamental difference in the Hawaiian overthrow and the ones that you discussed. The people who ran the Republic of HAwaii were not even citizens of the Republic of Hawaii."
Not true. Almost all of the Hawaiian rebels were Hawaiian citizens. The Kingdom of Hawaii was a multi-racial society that gave citizenship to people of many races. Most of the rebels (including Sanford Dole) were Hawaiian citizens of European descent.
The revolution was real which is why every nation which recognized the Kingdom of Hawaii also recognized the Republic of Hawaii.
And it is worth noting, not a single shot was fired in the Hawaiian Revolution of 1893. Had the monarchy had popular support, some bloodshed almost certainly would have happened.
- KNL said...
They were not citizens. They were residents. There is a difference. And the coup leaders overthrew the monarchy with American support and backing (the ambassador and marine corps) so of coarse other Western nations would recognize it. John L. Thurston who organized the coup was even an American citizen.
- Miland said...
Thanks for posting here. However, it is clear that you do not understand the legal system of the Kingdom of Hawaii. It gave citizenship to any one who was born in Hawaii. It also was liberal in naturalizing new citizens.
As such, most of the rebels were indeed citizens. Sanford Dole (President of the Republic of Hawaii) was born in Hawaii (making him a Hawaiian citizen) and he served as a Justice in the Hawaiian Supreme Court under the monarchy.
If you do some research, you will find that most of the other rebels were also Hawaiian citizens. They were not just residents. Many of them served in the Queen's government as judges, members of the legislature, or in the Royal Cabinet.
American participation does not make the Hawaiian Revolution invalid any more than French participation on behalf of the American colonies makes the American Revolution invalid. In fact, most revolutions have foreign intervention. But in the case of Hawaii, not a shot was fired by American marines or anyone else.
Thanks again for you comments and best wishes.

I was reading through the blog and its very clear that the last person has no idea on immigration laws and citizenship work in most countries outside of the US. The use operates on the juris solis meaning those who were born in the territorial borders can claim a citizenship. The US is one of the few countries that allows this to happen. Most European and Asian countries operates under juris sangre. This means citizenship can only be acquired either through direct bloodlines through an oath. Hawaii operated under this form of citizenship. You had to acquire citizenship through an OATH. The only exception were the Kanaka Maoli or native Hawaiians who were automatically citizens by virtue of being native. Please read the Hawaiian constitutions of 1852, 1864 and 1887 and the Hawaiian Civil Code. They all say the same thing. Hawaiian citizenship is ALWAYS ACQUIRED through an oath not simply because you were born in Hawaii. Next time you make an ascertation, PLEASE bother to READ THE REVELENT LAWS and not simply assume that every country constructs its laws like the US.
- Hokulani said...
I almost forgot, while it is true many of those who would later run the so-called Republic of Hawaii were at one times members of the Queen's Court, its not true that they were all Hawaiian citizens. Most of them were DENIZENS, meaning permanent residents of the Hawaiian Kingdom, kinda like green card holders. The ones that were citizens retained their American citizenship--Hawaiian civil law after 1864 allowed this. They were dual citizens. What occured essentially what the US had been doing in most of Latin America and East Asia--overthrowing popular goverments and putting up dictatorships. Yes, by the way, the Queen was immensely popular. Just look at even today, the Governor of Hawaii (who isn't Hawaiian) puts flowers at the Queen's grave and her statue. But the Queen told her supporters to wait for the US to undo its actions. But failing that, you may remember the REVOLUTION of 1895 where royalists attempted to restore the Queen but what happened? Over 500 people were arrested including the Queen and her nephews. The royalists were valiant but compared to the military gear the US loaned the Republic of Hawaii back in 1894, they were unable to overthrow the hated Republic. The US canons and guns were used to suppress the rebellion and the American marines were used to secure government and commercial centers. Funny how the most democratic country in the world is always behind the most undemocratic regimes in the world. As Sukarno once said "Behind every good dictator lies a good American marine."

Thanks for the note but I am afraid you don't understand the issue of citizenship of the Hawaiian Kingdom. I've done my research, have you?
Here is a link for you from the Pro-Independence Movement:
* "These include those foreigners who were naturalized as Hawaiian subjects and those born in the Kingdom of foreign parentage who acquired Hawaiian nationality by birth."
Here is what Scott Crawford at the Hawaiian Independence Blog (http://www.hawaiiankingdom.info/C1126750129/E20050820050521/) has to say on this, "It is very important to keep in mind that the Hawaiian kingdom was a multiracial country, with naturalized citizens from all over the world, and children born in Hawaii were automatically citizens."
I obviously disagree with Scott and others on a lot and don't expect to find common ground. However, I wish people would stop trying to confuse the citizenship issue. The Hawaiian Kingdom was a multiracial society. If you were born in the Kingdom of Hawaii, you were a citizen of Hawaii.
Sanford Dole and many of the other rebels were Hawaiian citizens. Feel free to post about how unfair and immoral the overthrow was but don't try to strip these men of the citizenship they possessed.

An investigation established by President Cleveland was conducted by former Congressman James Henderson Blount, and concluded, "United States diplomatic and military representatives had abused their authority and were responsible for the change in government."
Minister Stevens was recalled, and the military commander of forces in Hawaiʻi was forced to resign his commission. President Cleveland stated "Substantial wrong has thus been done which a due regard for our national character as well as the rights of the injured people requires we should endeavor to repair the monarchy." Cleveland further stated in his 1893 State of the Union Address that, "Upon the facts developed it seemed to me the only honorable course for our Government to pursue was to undo the wrong that had been done by those representing us and to restore as far as practicable the status existing at the time of our forcible intervention."
not the best source, but you get the point. Whether the Americans were Hawaiian citizens or residents is merely circumstantial. They didn't care about the people of hawaii; they only wanted power for themselves. It was all about greed, as was the annexation of Hawaii into the US. Yes, all overthrows are illegal, but this one was also clearly immoral. And look what the consequences have been to the Hawaiian people. To equate these American citizen/resident/whatever with Native Hawaiians is so erroneous it is an insult. One group flourished at expense of the other and now the few Hawaiians that survive, according the the 2000 US census, have economic, health, and general living standards that are comparable to those in a third world country.

"An investigation established by President Cleveland was conducted by former Congressman James Henderson Blount"
Unfortunately, the Blount Report was politically motivated and can not be trusted.
Eager to discredit the foreign policy of President Harrison, President Cleveland sent James Blount to Hawaii to investigate. The Blount Report was the result. Unfortunately, Blount failed to interview many of the participants in the revolt and he failed to swear in any of the witnesses. As expected, the report then blamed the prior Presidential administration for the overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom.
The Morgan Report (issued in 1894 by the Senate) refutes much of what is in the Blount Report.
You are unlikely to see many references to the Morgan Report though. Activists in the native Hawaiian community only cite the government report they like and they ignore everything else.
Hawaii was a beautiful country that should have not been touch by the U.S. or any other country. Even though SOME of the culture has been restored, it's not the SAME. the u.s. should've just left the u.s. alone. but the u.s. was to greedy. they wanted as much land as they could get. this is ONE of the things i HATE about the u.s. they did the same thing with the indians and Texas(remember the alamo).
- Miland said...
Thanks for your comment anonymous. It is interesting that you invoke Texas in your comment. Many of the arguments used by the Hawaiian separatists are also used by Texas separtists. (And Alaskan separtists as well.) Loosely claiming violations of international law and yelling the magic word of occupation seem common. See my post on Wacky American Separtists (http://world-history-blog.blogspot.com/2005/10/wacky-american-separatists.html) for more details.

I think it is impossible to speak of the "illegal overthrow" of the Hawai`ian monarchy, without talking about 80 years prior, when the monarchy got its start. Ripping through the island chain, in violent warfare, the family of rulers set itself up as the "legitimate" government of the newly unified kingdom, slaughtering enemies, stealing land and torturing dissenters to death.
I'm always shocked to see the amount of commentary that says that the U.S. assistance to people who were living there was "illegal" or "immoral", because it involved a "foreign government" (boo, hiss!), and because many of the revolutionaries were white. Well, these white folks had heard of democracy, and crazy as it sounds, monarchic dictatorship probably did not quite seem right by them. The probably didn't fancy this concept of people being "born a little better", etc. (After all, isn't "monarchy" somewhat of a sycophantic term for "dictator"?)
But then something funny happens to all logic, within the "anti-USA" rabble:
Trace back to the roots of the very short lived dictatorship under Kamehameha's family (a flash in the pan, historically speaking), and suddenly violent acquisition of territory is the very best way to establish a legitimate government.
I could never subscribe to such thinking, because I am sure my head would explode.
It seems everyone wants to rewind the clock of history to a *precise* moment when they think they "had it made". In fact, these periods of jubilation are often nonexistant. "The good old days that never were".
At best, in this case, it was an 80 year period (a mighty small target on the timeline of history), when dictators set themselves up using extreme violence, and handed down their ill-gotten gain for about 8 generations, until someone put an end to it.
- Patrick Townson said...
The Hawaiian people of the 19th and early 20th century were very peaceful and trusting. The revolt came about when Christian ministers (specifically [what we now call] United Church of Christ [and then we called] Congregational Church missionaries convinced Queen Lilukilani that the sugar plantation growers were planning a revolution.)
Not only has the US Congress issued an apology to the people of Hawaii, but the United Church of Christ also apologized for the actions of its missionaries. Their formal apology came in the middle 1990's also.
Interesting the mention of Sanford Dole as one of the 'good guys'; in fact he was one of the sugar plantation owners (you have heard of Dole Pineapple and Dole Sugar I suppose) who bribed the missionaries to tell the queen the only way she would survive at all was by relinguishing control to a country which could save her, namely the USA. And what did the queen know about anything? Very little, she was such a trusting and kind soul, as the original Hawaiians were. So she accepted their word, that the revolution was near. She was placed under house arrest by the US Navy, and unlike a more recent USA aquistition (Iraq) not a single shot was fired in the entire 'war'.
If you are going to talk legalities and how their constiution is written and all about the UN approval, etc. then you should also include discussion of how extremely naive the Hawaiian people were at that time. The people there at that time said 'aloha' to everyone, and were at peace with the world. The whole deal stunk to high heaven; it was like taking candy from a baby.
Since that time, the Hawaiian crime rate has skyrocketed out of control. The US benifitted of course since they 'inherited' a stop over place for ships and troops (Pearl Harbor). Taking over Hawaii as we did certainly was a good deal for the USA, although the sugar plantation owners were not all that thrilled about it.
Now I think, you can watch history repeat itself sometime in the next 50 or 75 years with Iraq. Unlike Hawaii, whose people were always very peaceful and naive, the people in Iraq are much different, but at some future time, there will be a little 'election' in Iraq and they will become a USA territory, then eventually a 'state' and the revisionists will do a number on our grandchildren here on internet and tell them how, all along, the Iraqi people had wanted to part of the USA.
- CP6UH said...
I totally agree with you Patrick on almost everything except the Iraq part. Iraq is not a chain of islands or some banana republic south of the Rio Grande. Iraq is one of the oldest societies in the world. They have survived a lot more than the US can dish out to them. They can battle for the next 10 15 even 20 years and not be spiritually overtaken. Do we have the money to do that? Because lets face it the success of our society here is based on money and materialistic goods. Once that is gone our will to fight for oil, that we cannot afford, will be gone as well. We will leave with our tail between our legs.
As for the natives of Hawaii, I hate to say it but their culture will probably not outlive this period of world domination on the part of the United States. Until the US is still strong and able to hold them as the 50th state they will not be able to proliferate their culture. If they were to breakaway now, take over the tourist industry, allow only people of clear Hawaiian or Pacific Islander/Polynesian decent to return and remain, they might be able to revive their culture; a wonderful culture indeed; a culture that is not built on greed like the Anglos and Asians.

Interesting reading above...I suppose that the same logic that allows for the Hawaiian Independence movement should apply to Maui. After all, under the evil guise of unification, the last Maui King had his kingdom violently taken from him and his people:
"In 1778, as American colonials battled British soldiers on the East Coast, Captain James Cook of England, on his third major voyage, sailed into Hawaiian waters and "discovered" the islands for the Western world. He saw Maui, but never set foot on it. In 1787, Captain Jean Francois de Galaup de La Perouse became the first foreigner to step foot on Maui, at what is now called La Perouse Bay along Maui's southern coastline. Captain La Perouse defied orders from his king and chose not to claim Maui for France.
Three years later, in 1790, Kamehameha the Great (also called Kamehameha I, pronounced kah-MEH-hah-MEH-hah) invaded Maui and, with the help of Western armaments, defeated Maui's last king, Kahekili, in historic I`ao Valley (EE-ah-oh). The Battle of I`ao was an important milestone in Kamehameha the Great's campaign to unite the Hawaiian islands under a single ruler."
So give Maui back after Hawaiian Independence, if you use certain historical logic.
And historically speaking, there are no native Hawaiians since everyone there came from a variety of other places. I was just in Maui and depending on who you listen to the early "Hawaiians" came from three or more places (one "historian" listed six different places).
The fact is that it would be difficult to varify a true single decendent to the throne of a new Hawaii. There are too many people who claim that right and most are in the fractured Hawaiian Independence movement for anything serious to come from it.
it may sound terribly mean to some of the radicals, but for crying out loud: no one forced the Hawaiians to covet the white man's goods and roll over at the corrupted whims of their "native leaders" who were the truly greedy ones. They sold their souls and sold out their own history and legacy, and now it is too politacally incorrect to say so.
I applaud the cultural revitalization of the islands. But to souly blame the Americans is very very short sighted.
- John D. said...
The world is full of separatists and independence movements all using tiresome variations of the same old song and dance. Most are exclusive racial or cultural groups seeking self aggrandizement at the expense of everybody else.
For example, descendants of Hawaiians living on the islands before Capt.Cook arrived would like to lord it over everybody else. It is a pipe dream shared by many others.
Controlling geographical boundaries and maintaining uniform laws and governments is, and probably always will be, an ongoing labor of states everywhere. It is kind of like fighting communicable diseases; it can't ever be totally successful, but, you have to keep fighting.
The people of Hawaii should be in charge of their own destiny. As long as they want to remain part of the USA they should be allowed to do so. There is no need for a vote on independence until if or when there is clear support for such a move. Currently and overwhelmingly Hawaii wishes to remain American. So be it.
The plain and simple fact, Hawai'i was a recognized independent peaceful, neutral Nation whose life was cut short by greedy imperialist americans who clearly had no respect for anything moral and just. americans broke several treaties, that according to the us constitution, were the "supreme laws of the land", violated international law and your own constitution just to have a military post in the middle of the pacific. the actions of the americans were considered treason and they should have been put to death. Put yourself in our shoes. If russia came to the usa and said you have to be a russian citizen, speak our language, love the russian flag, live and act like us and pledge your allegiance to russia, you would have a problem too. as much as you love your country, Hawiian love their country too, but had it taken away against their will and without their consent. And as for the statehood vote, ha! if you think that was legitimate, that would be like letting u.s. soldiers in Iraq vote in Iraqi elections! clearly ridiculous.
- M said...
Thanks for your comments. However, your analogies are flawed. If true, the Hawaiian Kingdom never legally existed. If Kamehameha's conquest by non-democratic means was legitimate, why was not the overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom? I guess throwing hundreds of warriors over a cliff is a better way to steal another kingdom?
Your Iraq analogy is the ridiculous one. In 1959, any American soldiers voted in what was recognized under international law as an American territory. Iraq is a sovereign nation under international law. There is no comparison here.
I disagree with your view but respect it. If Hawaii is illegally under American control, do something about. Please file a case with the International Court Justice. If they rule in your favor, I will believe you. If they disagree with you or refuse to hear the case, the legal issue is ended and we will all know for sure that Hawaii is indeed legally state 50.
I doubt you file a case though. You know what would happen just as well as I do.
Keep on speaking up. America is a free country and even though I know you are wrong, I respect your right to free speech. You have just as much right as Mexican-Americans who speak of a reconquista to take back Mexican land from the US, Confederate sympathizers who claims the formers Conferederacy is illegally occupied by the USA, Texans who want the "illegally occupied" Republic of Texas back, and Alaskans who claim that Alaska never was legally annexed to the US.
Despite all of the above, I believe the American Motherland is safe. :]
At the time of Kamehameha's conquest, each island was not a recognized independent nation. After he conquered/united the islands and form a European style nation with constitutions etc, they became a nation equal to other nations of the world. In fact, Hawaii was the first nation outside of Europe to be recognized as an independent nation. After Kamehameha's actions was the start of the Kingdom, not before.
When the US annexed Hawaii, the Republic of Hawaii transferred sovereignty to the US. Well, they never legally had it. Governments can be overthrown, not sovereingty.
And there was a complaint filed againt the united states with the UN Security Council. Also research the Lance Larsen vs. Hawaiian Kingdom case that went to the World Permanent Court of Arbitration
at The Hague, Netherlands, whose strict policy is that only Nations can be parties in arbitration. Also the united states government issued a formal apology and admitted it's wrong doing in US Public Law 103-150.
The statehood vote was fixed. According to the UN Charter Article 73, there should have been 4 choices: Statehood, Remain a terrirtory, free-association and Independence. There were not. The only options offered were statehood yes or no. Don't tell me that's fair.
If the United States does not man up and take responsibility and undo the wrongs it has done, then you are no better than the evil dictators of the world which you condemn and go to war with.
- M said...
I realize my arguments are pointless as nothing will shake your beliefs. International law is not important is it? Only ideology?
Nonetheless, here is another go at it:
"At the time of Kamehameha's conquest, each island was not a recognized independent nation."
And how did the Hawaiian Kingdom come to be recognized? It was by the international community recognizing the Hawaiian Kingdom. And the Hawaiian Kingdom ceased to exist when the Republic of Hawaii was internationally recognized. And an independent Hawaiian state ceased to exist when the international community recognized US sovereignty over Hawaii.
If international recognition of nation states means nothing, every kingdom Kamehameha conquered still exists legally. Why should the victims of these invasions be forced to live under an invader? You can not have it both ways Keliiaumoana.
The Larsen case was not a lawsuit before the world court. It was arbitration before a non-UN body. The Permanent Court of Arbitration is not part of the U.N., is open to private parties, and that appearance at the Permanent Court of Arbitration does not require nor imply any sort of legal international standing.
It is of interest that Larsen dismissed the USA as a defendant as soon as it reached the arbitrators. It did him no good. They refused to rule on the case. The arbitrators noted, "In the absence of the United States of America, the Tribunal can neither decide that Hawaii is not part of the USA, nor proceed on the assumption that it is not. To take either course would be to disregard a principle which goes to heart of the arbitral function in international law.."
You stated: "The statehood vote was fixed. According to the UN Charter Article 73, there should have been 4 choices: Statehood, Remain a territory, free-association and Independence. There were not. The only options offered were statehood yes or no. Don't tell me that's fair."
That is what the Alaskan separatists say too. However, the United Nations decolonization committee removed Hawaii and Alaska from the United Nations list of Non-Self-Governing Territories after statehood votes. That is international law. The international community recognizes American sovereignty in both cases just like it acknowledged Kamehameha's establishment of the Hawaiian Kingdom.
Good luck to you Keliiaumoana in everything but your political views. No amount of legal sophistry on your part can change international law. Hawaii is an intergral part of the USA.
It appears as if we are wasting our time as we both have very different interpretations of events of which we were not present. Still, thank you for the conversation.

Hagel's other label: Anti-green
Chuck Hagel's battled some ugly labels in recent months, like anti-gay, anti-Israel and anti-nukes. Now he faces another one: anti-green.
The former Republican senator from Nebraska is known in environmental circles as a skeptic on climate change science who played a key role killing the Kyoto Protocol, pulling then-President George W. Bush to the right on greenhouse gases and shepherding energy policies into law that were much less ambitious than what advocates sought.
Story Continued Below
( Also on POLITICO: Joe Biden: Chuck Hagel, John Kerry critics 'ridiculous')
Some enviros who backed President Barack Obama say they fear Hagel won't be an advocate for their cause if he ends up leading the Pentagon — a lost opportunity at home and abroad.
Liberals have fought for years to green the Pentagon, because it's the largest consumer of energy within the American government. Abroad, many greens believe the Pentagon could be a force for change as it grapples firsthand with the instability and violence brought on by drought and fierce tropical storms — symptoms scientists attribute to global climate change.
"He definitely played a very nefarious role and ignored the science, which an intelligent person shouldn't do," said Dan Becker, director of the Safe Climate Campaign and a former head of the Sierra Club's global warming program. "But the question now is: Fifteen years later, what does he think and what would he do as Obama's secretary of defense?"
( PHOTOS: What they're saying about Hagel)
Obama isn't hiring Hagel to lead the Pentagon because of his views on global warming. But the nomination is still striking, given the president's emphasis on the issue during his second inaugural address and considering the Republican would serve on the national security team opposite incoming Secretary of State John Kerry, who has spent his career trying to save the planet.
Hagel's anti-green label comes from years of examples, greens say.
During Hagel's first Senate campaign in 1996 against then-Gov. Ben Nelson of Nebraska, the Republican slammed President Bill Clinton's EPA and Occupational Safety and Health Administration, calling its workers "a Gestapo."
( Also on POLITICO: Chuck Hagel earned more than $1M in the past year)
In his first year in the Senate, Hagel partnered with former Sen. Robert Byrd (D-W.Va.) on an anti-Kyoto resolution that told Clinton and Vice President Al Gore that the world's first mandatory climate change treaty had no shot at ratification because it gave a free pass to developing countries like China and India.
Kerry and other Democrats were among the 95 senators who voted for the 1997 resolution and have spent years since trying to undo the precedent it created. "I use that so much," Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.), a fierce climate skeptic, said of the Byrd-Hagel resolution.
Andrew Holland, a former Hagel energy and climate aide, said Hagel's work rejecting Kyoto is ideologically consistent with his views on other global issues, including Iran sanctions. "If we don't do it with everyone else around the world, then it doesn't work," Holland said. "It's this multilateral internationalist mind-set."
Hagel's Senate career included a number of other moves aimed at undercutting tougher climate policies.
Soon after Bush was sworn in to the Oval Office, Hagel and three Senate Republicans asked whether he planned to implement a campaign pledge to regulate carbon dioxide emissions from power plants. Vice President Dick Cheney's office had signaled the administration wasn't going to follow through with the little-noticed promise, but EPA Administrator Christine Todd Whitman had done national television interviews offering a different take.

About the Mortgage Payment Calculator
The right mortgage has to have the right monthly payment for your particular financial situation. The mortgage payment calculator is a simple way to make sure that you've got a match. It calculates your potential monthly payment by computing parameters related to loan and property information. It also takes into consideration tax and insurance information. Input these numbers and you've got quick estimate of whether or not the loan is in your budgetary ballpark.
Our monthly mortgage payment calculator is simple to use. The first step includes four fields for loan amount, interest rate, length and home value. The loan amount is how much you'll need to borrow, the interest rate is the rate advertised by the lender, the length is the amount of time it takes to repay the loan (generally 15 or 30 years) and the home value is the estimated price. The second step of the mortgage payment calculator includes three more fields; annual taxes, annual insurance and annual PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance).
When you use the mortgage calculator, the main fields to keep your eye on are the interest rate and the length. If you input a lower rate, you can expect your monthly payment to go down. Just how much an interest rate decrease affects your monthly balance depends on the size of your loan.
Choose a loan with a shorter term, and you can expect your monthly payment to rise. Consider that you're paying off the same loan in a shorter period of time.
This quick overview is great for comparing lenders. It's the first step to finding a mortgage that matches your budget.

About CStrube
I find it highly amusing that a pro copyright blog writer would effective commit plagiarism by not attributing to the source the origins of her quotes. Without saying whose words those are, she's effectively claiming them for herself.
I agree that the officers have rights as well, however we apparently disagree on a point. The officers, I feel, have all the rights/privileges of people when acting as people.
Where I feel that we disagree is that when the officers were acting as representatives of the State, then their actions should be in compliance with any applicable Sunshine laws, and thus it's not their actions that are being recorded, but the utterances and actions of the State as incorporated by the States acting agents. In this case the IA officers.
If the officers wanted their conversation to be private, they should not be acting in their official capacity. Otherwise their actions, carried out in the citizens name, should be accountable to the same.

Why, following logic doesn't even give our police more power to invade citizens mistaken notions of privacy! Think of the potential law enforcement jobs you're killing!

There's nothing that forces a company to take your money. Since access to the internet isn't a Right, ISPs could just refuse your custom.

I think getting a Collection Society to hound after those annoying car drivers blasting their music would be even more effective (and easier) than the bass seeking missile idea I've heard floated around.

Sorry, but wrong. If it's online and pubically accessible, you certainly have a right to download it. How else could a remote machine view the file except via downloading?
What you don't have the right to do legally is to upload that file to some other remote location. That's the issue. To think of it as a book or a movie under copyright.

The government can kill you (at least in the US) if it doesn't like you or what you do, and publicly give itself a pat on the back for doing so. Your boss hopefully can't.

If they really want to filter the big bad Internet to keep the kiddies safe, why then don't they just hire some people to physically be men-in-the-middle? Any web request from a filtered location goes first to some intermediary who would physically have to look at the page and either allow or deny the request. This would give them accountability for each request, as each allow/deny could be logged, and in the current economically tough times could get people off the unproductive dole and get them working on important things, like protecting the kiddies and showing the electorate that the politicians are doing something (wither or not it's a good idea).
Seems like it would be a perfect plan from a politician's viewpoint. Sure it would cost a lot, but it's government money, not real money.
These types of rules regarding discussions sounds like a directive straight from MiniTrue.

Great, now the ISPs will only allow us to connect using virtual machines while wearing rubber suits in a sterile room. Great, now we've broken the internet...

The logo must also translate well into black/white (as black against a white background or white against a black background) and be able to stand out against a dark colored background. We do a lot of photocopying and often have black/white ads.
Logo needs to incorporate our name (including the P.C.) but we would like some type of graphic element that can stand alone without the name—whether it's a treatment of our initials (W&G) or a logo mark.
We would like to stick with our current corporate colors. These are a navy blue (PMS 541) with a secondary color of either grey or black.
Some examples of logos that we like are:
The files we require are EPS and JPEG

This Oracle tutorial explains how to create and drop synonyms in Oracle with syntax and examples.
A synonym is an alternative name for objects such as tables, views, sequences, stored procedures, and other database objects.
You generally use synonyms when you are granting access to an object from another schema and you don't want the users to have to worry about knowing which schema owns the object.
Create Synonym (or Replace)
You may wish to create a synonym so that users do not have to prefix the table name with the schema name when using the table in a query.
The syntax to create a synonym in Oracle is:
CREATE [OR REPLACE] [PUBLIC] SYNONYM [schema .] synonym_name FOR [schema .] object_name [@ dblink];
- Allows you to recreate the synonym (if it already exists) without having to issue a DROP synonym command.
- It means that the synonym is a public synonym and is accessible to all users. Remember though that the user must first have the appropriate privileges to the object to use the synonym.
- schema
- The appropriate schema. If this phrase is omitted, Oracle assumes that you are referring to your own schema.
- object_name
The name of the object for which you are creating the synonym. It can be one of the following:
- table
- view
- sequence
- stored procedure
- function
- package
- materialized view
- java class schema object
- user-defined object
- synonym
Let's look at an example of how to create a synonym in Oracle.
For example:
CREATE PUBLIC SYNONYM suppliers FOR app.suppliers;
This first CREATE SYNONYM example demonstrates how to create a synonym called suppliers. Now, users of other schemas can reference the table called suppliers without having to prefix the table name with the schema named app. For example:
SELECT * FROM suppliers;
If this synonym already existed and you wanted to redefine it, you could always use the OR REPLACESolid Beret Warm Autumn Girls Hat Wool Women Winter Brown Cap Color YaToy W8OIqp phrase as follows:
CREATE OR REPLACE PUBLIC SYNONYM suppliers FOR app.suppliers;
Drop synonym
Once a synonym has been created in Oracle, you might at some point need to drop the synonym.
The syntax to drop a synonym in Oracle is:
DROP [PUBLIC] SYNONYM [schema .] synonym_name [force];
- Rose Women zhxinashu Red Dress Tassel Bikini Swimsuit Fashion up Cover Beach PUBLIC
- Allows you to drop a public synonym. If you have specified PUBLIC, then you don't specify a schema.
- force
- It will force Oracle to drop the synonym even if it has dependencies. It is probably not a good idea to use force as it can cause invalidation of Oracle objects.
Fashion up zhxinashu Women Dress Beach Cover Red Swimsuit Bikini Tassel Rose Example
Let's look at an example of how to drop a synonym in Oracle.
For example:
DROP PUBLIC SYNONYM suppliers;
This DROP statement would drop the synonym called suppliers that we defined earlier.

Guild Wars 2 has taken the traditional MMORPG questing system and turned it on its head. Getting your hands on a reliable Guild Wars 2 Guide can be difficult, so here is a short article on how to do questing in Guild Wars 2.
Most conventional questing mechanics rely on players speaking with an NPC, receiving a task and accomplishing said task for a reward, usually in the form of experience points and an item. For the most part, quests ask that players kill X amount of one enemy or collect Y amount of one good. Guild Wars 2 defies these stale tropes via more meaningful quests and its dynamic events system and
Traditional quests still exist in the form of story quests. These quests require players to speak with an NPC, acquire a task and complete it. However, the quests in Guild Wars 2 are more inventive than in other MMOs. Instead of merely collecting items for no apparent reason, each quest is pertinent to the progression of a player's character. Story quests are typically instanced, meaning that players and their party members will not have to share the zone with any other players.
Events will typically happen without the player having to prompt them. An indicator will let them know that a new event is nearby. The location of the event will appear on the mini-map in orange. Players are awarded experience and rewards for participating in the event. The more they contribute, the greater the reward. Events can also be chained together. Successfully completing one event may spawn another. Depending on whether players complete of fail events, the climate of the landscape may change.
Other quests are triggered by journeying into new zones. Upon entering, a series of tasks will be listed in the top right hand portion of a player's screen. Participating in any of the listed objectives will partially fill the quest progress bar. When the progress bar is full, players will receive rewards in the form of experience, coin and gear. They will typically be given at least two gear options to choose from.
The nature of questing in Guild Wars 2 marks a decisive evolution in the way players will perceive leveling. It stands to be more interesting, more dynamic and ultimately more fun.

Scunthorpe have signed goalkeeper Eirik Holmen Johansen from Manchester City until the end of the season.
Last Updated: 07/03/13 3:32pm

Johansen joined City in 2008 and he signed a new contract in the summer that will keep him at the club until 2015.
He was rewarded with a place on the bench for the Community Shield win at the start of the season after featuring in a number of pre-season friendlies.
"Very happy to announce that I've just signed a loan deal at Scunthorpe United for the remainder of the season," Johansen said on social media.

Kevin and his wife Terri Stewart have been houseboating
since 2007, and have enjoyed every minute of it. They love the friends that
they have made from around the country, especially Jim and Cherie Stansbury and
Denny and Sandy Thayer. "We're all family and all take care of each other,"
said Kevin. They all have pontoons that they tie up next to their houseboats to
make their own little side porches like on a house. That is one of the many small
fun things they do together.
Kevin and Terri bought their first houseboat in 1998 which
was an '84 Sumerset. They always wanted to upgrade and the Thayer's happened to
call at the perfect time wanting to sell their 1998 Lakeview. They named the
boat "Going Down for the First Time" because Kevin and Terri both agreed that
they weren't going to get married again.
The Stewart's live in Somerset
which is only a twenty minute drive to Conley Bottom on Lake Cumberland.
They have a great vacation home which is right there which makes them very
lucky. They love the atmosphere at Conley Bottom and how the boats are all
parallel so they have a perfect view of the lake and a pier right between them.
Kevin loves to cook pork tenderloin, which he has his own
special marinade for. He also makes homemade baked beans with molasses, sausage
and barbecue sauce and homemade coleslaw. Kevin is one of the few people that
spends 95 percent of his time at the dock with cable TV than on the lake.
Kevin and Terri's five year old grandson Tedi from Ethiopia,
loves coming to the lake since he had never seen something like that before and
spending time with his grandpa Kevin. He and his wife consider houseboating one
of the greatest family activities and something they will continue to do for
the rest of their lives.

ST. CLOUD, Minn. -- The stage for this year's 6th District congressional race is probably even more conservative than in years past, thanks to redistricting earlier this year. But the story is still one of an underdog fighting an uphill battle.
With themes that include the economy, the nation's budget and health care, the contest features two contrasting characters: a tea-party backed Republican congresswoman who ran for president and a wealthy Democratic businessman trying to appeal to voters as a centrist.
Jim Graves, a property management executive, is trying to do what three other Democrats failed to do in the 6th District: defeat Republican U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann.
Although the Graves campaign is encouraged by a recent internal poll showing a competitive race, he is struggling with fundraising -- and that same poll shows that voters throughout the district don't know him, even after six months of campaigning.
At a parade on a recent Saturday in the outlying Twin Cities suburb of Ramsey, Graves was out to raise his political profile, pushing a message aimed at middle-of-the-road voters.
"You don't draw lines in the sand," Graves said. "You don't make pledges before you get to Congress. You keep an open mind."
Graves supports parts of the Affordable Care Act, President Barack Obama's signature health care legislation, that increase access to care by allowing young people to stay on their parents' health insurance until they are 26 years old and not limiting coverage for pre-existing conditions.
However, he doesn't think the law goes far enough in addressing the overall costs of health care.
To balance the federal budget, Graves supports increasing revenues by eliminating the Bush-era tax cuts for those making more than $250,000 a year but maintaining them for those making less.
He also supports military spending cuts and doing away with tax breaks for oil companies.
Graves, who is running for office for the first time, is campaigning on his expertise in business. He started a hotel management company with properties around the country, including the Graves 601 Hotel in downtown Minneapolis.
He faces a stiff challenge in Bachmann, who runs as a fiscal conservative. She has long sought to limit the size of the federal government and has called for repeal of the Affordable Care Act. Both were pillars of her presidential campaign.
"I've been a very strong voice against all of the wasteful spending and all of the outreach of government and the growth of government," Bachmann said. "And people are grateful because they see that government is growing at the expense of the average Minnesotan."
Despite Bachmann's national profile and redistricting that would seem to make the 6th District more conservative, the Graves campaign claims to be gaining traction.
It cites a poll it paid for that shows Bachmann with 48 percent of the likely voters to Graves' 46 percent.
The poll, conducted Aug. 29-30 by a Washington, D.C., pollster, sampled 401 voters and has a margin of error of plus or minus 4.9 percentage points.
But in that same poll, almost all voters say they know Bachmann, while only 38 percent say they have heard of Graves.
Graves also trails dramatically in fundraising. At the end of July, Bachmann had $2.2 million cash on hand to Graves' $351,000. Since March, Graves has loaned his campaign at least $250,000.
Last month the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee listed Graves' race as one of 20 competitive races around the country. Such designations can be a signal that opens donors' wallets. The committee also pledged financial, strategic and grass roots support to Graves, but did not give specifics.
Bachmann's profile from her presidential bid, marked by sharp partisan rhetoric, provides Graves an opportunity, said University of Minnesota political scientist Kathryn Pearson, who studies congressional politics and campaigns.
"Jim Graves' challenge is to persuade independent voters and some Republican voters that he is a centrist and would be willing to vote against Democrats in Congress," Pearson said. "But at the same time he needs to excite Democrats in that district enough to really work hard and campaign for him."
Pearson also said Bachmann's history of making controversial, and sometimes inaccurate, statements could help Graves.
Over the summer, Bachmann faced criticism from both Democrats and members of her own party over her claims that the Muslim Brotherhood, an Islamist political movement in the Middle East, has influence on the federal government. She later said U.S. Rep. Keith Ellison, a Minnesota Democrat, had ties to the organization, and the Council on American-Islamic Relations. Ellison said the claims are false.
Graves released a statement condemning the remarks and in online messages asks voters to "demand that Michele Bachmann end her McCarthy-style witch-hunt."
But Bachmann's controversial statements are a Graves talking point, they're not the top one. "I'm running for the people, not against Michele Bachmann," he said.
Pearson said it's wise for Graves to offer voters reasons to vote for him. But she says the race will nevertheless be a referendum on Bachmann.
"Michele Bachmann is the incumbent," Pearson said. "She is extremely well-known, not just in the district, but nationally. So ultimately this is a race about Michele Bachmann -- whether or not Jim Graves' campaign want to cast it that way."
To make the race competitive, Graves will have to raise more money -- and not just narrow the financial gap, Pearson said. Donors who give money -- even small amounts -- are generally more willing to promote a candidate to others, she said.
Campaigns with a large number of donors also tend to attract funding from the national political parties as well as outside groups.

OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — Gov. Chris Gregoire proposed higher taxes on gas, soda, candy and gum Tuesday in order to avoid more government cuts and to help fund education in response to a court order.
In her final budget plan, Gregoire said a budget without new revenues would force the closure of state parks, eliminate food assistance programs and cause additional cuts in education.
The new wholesale tax on gasoline and diesel fuel — paid by fuel distributors but likely passed on to drivers — would eventually rise to 4.62 percent. The governor also wants to extend taxes on beer and business taxes paid by doctors, lawyers, accountants and others.
"We need revenue if we're going to meet our constitutional and moral responsibility to fund education," Gregoire said. The total revenue from the new tax and tax extensions would be about $1 billion for the two-year budget cycle that starts in July.
Gregoire noted that the country's top oil companies have made billions of dollars in profits this year, "so I expect them to do this without passing this on to consumers."
She said she saw no other way to find the large amount of money needed to properly invest in the education system.
"Time is up," she said. "There is no more recess."
Gregoire said the candy and soda tax was a way to pay an award issued by an independent arbitrator in October to give pay raises to the state's home-care workers.
"Do I think these people need and deserve raises? Absolutely," she said. "I just can't do it at this point. So I've tried to find a revenue source that had a direct nexus."
Rep. Ross Hunter, D-Medina and chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, said Gregoire's budget proposal "exposes the basic structural problems that will make it difficult to build an operating budget that meets the needs of Washington's citizens and business community without changing the revenue picture."
But House Republican's point person on the budget, Rep. Gary Alexander of Olympia, said that the plan is likely "dead on arrival."
"While I can see using a few of her budget reductions, I just can't see the incoming legislature or the new governor using her overall budget or her tax increases as a starting point," he said in a written statement.
Washington state Gov.-elect Jay Inslee will take office in January facing a projected $900 million deficit for the next two-year budget ending in mid-2015.
That doesn't include money lawmakers will need to spend to improve funding for education as directed by the state Supreme Court earlier this year.
Inslee has said he will not raise taxes. Gregoire said a 2013-15 budget without taxes would have unacceptable consequences for people across the state and would hinder the state's economic recovery.
Sterling Clifford, a spokesman for Inslee, issued a written statement saying that Inslee appreciated Gregoire's "thoughtful effort and determination to address Washington's fiscal reality."
"In the upcoming legislative session, Gov.-elect Inslee will lay out his own budget priorities that reflect his vision for state government and his commitment to create a lasting economic recovery with secure jobs for Washington's middle-class," Clifford wrote.
Republican Sen. Andy Hill, who would lead the chamber's budget committee under a proposed GOP-led majority coalition, said Gregoire's budget will be a point of reference as lawmakers try to build a sustainable spending plan.
Hill noted that the state will bring in $2.1 billion in more revenue during the next budget cycle, even without new taxes.
"It's really a matter of, 'How do we prioritize that spending?'" Hill said.
Gregoire's budget, even with revenues, does include some cuts. She proposes to block cost-of-living increases for teachers, saving $360 million, and cuts funding for local government programs by $57 million. Her budget totals $557 million in various cuts or savings. Her plan would also leave about $882 million in the bank.
Overall, Gregoire's budget would total $34.4 billion in spending, up about 10 percent from the current biennium.
Gregoire said she knows that her budget proposal is not likely to stay intact throughout the legislative process.
"I think we have done an immense amount of work that will help them as they begin the deliberative process," she said. "I don't expect a rubber stamp. That's not what they've ever done with anything I've produced."
Gregoire said that she believes that lawmakers will find it will be difficult to do all that needs to be done with all cuts.
"The only way you can do it is with revenue," she said. "So I've tried to give them a path to move forward."
