SPEAKING OUT & GAINING CLOUT ON VOICES OF TRUTH - ONE-ON-ONE WITH HAWAI`I'S FUTURE

UnKau Inoa continues to grow in popularity daily spreading far and wide.

People are realizing they were deceived by the Office of Hawaiian Affairs into signing onto Kau Inoa, a list that supports federal recognition – a process to legalize the theft of the Hawaiian Nation and lands, and they are now not only removing their names, but they’re actually speaking out urging others to do the same.

We feature one of those individuals with a very special message for everyone this coming Wednesday on Free Hawai`i TV. Don’t miss it.

Then visit UnKauInoa.org and check out new photos posted all the time of supporters wearing their UnKau Inoa t-shirts.

Want one of your own? Just click on the Order UnKau Inoa T-Shirts link to get one. Then send us your picture at UnKauNow@UnKauInoa.org and we’ll post it.

We have a brand new Voices Of Truth show this week featuring KAHEA’s Marti Townsend. When you watch our visit with her, you’ll see why the job of protecting Hawai`i’s fragile and precious environment is in very good hands.

Marti’s a prime example of someone who heard the call to help create a better Hawai`i and answered. We’re pleased to share her with you this week on Hawai`i’s award winning Voices Of Truth – One-On-One With Hawai`i's Future.

MONDAY, November 9th At 6:30 PM Maui – Akaku, Channel 53

“Answering The Call – A Visit With Marti Townsend”

Not only a keen detective for what’s at risk, you’ll discover she also knows what’s possible - Hawai`i as the shining example for the world on how to get it right – Watch It Here

RACIAL SLUR = $$$?

Barbarian Princess Movie Title Used To Grab Viewers


Marc Forby, the writer and director of the Barbarian Princess movie, claims that he is using the term “barbarian” in the title of the movie only to attract more viewers and that he doesn’t mean to offend anyone. This is a specious excuse.


In the Nineteenth Century, the term “barbarian” was intentionally used to denigrate, demean, mock and injure its intended target, in this case, Princess Ka`iulani. It was a racial/ethnic slur in the same way “n- - - - -“ (the “N-word”) is used by Americans today.


A slur is a slur. It is particularly offensive when it is being used to promote box-office receipts. By Forby’s reasoning, it would be OK to do a movie about Barach Obama and call it the “N- - - - - President” because it would attract more customers.


Shame on Marc Forby and shame on the people who accept his smooth-talking jive. If Forby cannot grasp that the very title of his movie is a direct affront to Ka`iulani (and all Hawaiians) then and now, how can we think that his movie won’t likewise smear the truth?

US LEADERS WERE THE REAL BARBARIANS

Princess Ka`iulani was not a barbarian.

President William McKinley and Vice President Theodore Roosevelt were the barbarians.

Hawaiians never murdered innocent Native Americans, Puerto Ricans, Filipinos and Cubans. McKinley and Roosevelt annexed Hawai`i against the will of the Hawaiian people.

Hawaiians were never allowed to vote for or against the annexation resolution.

The resolution also canceled the treaties Hawai`i had with 20 nations and was against Asian immigration to Hawai`i and the US.

When you read the Hawai`i annexation resolution, you will determine who the real barbarians were.

Historical documents never fantasize and never tell lies.

"HAWAI`I  A VOICE FOR SOVEREIGNTY" WINS FILM & VIDEO AWARDS


Catherine Bauknight's feature documentary film, "Hawai`i A Voice For Sovereignty", has been awarded the Best Documentary Feature Film and Best Environmental Film awards at the New York International Independent Film and Video Festival.


"I'm incredibly happy to have received recognition from such a prestigious film festival in New York.", Bauknight says. "These awards are certainly of importance to the film, but more importantly, to the Hawaiian people. They have put a lot of their heart and soul into this documentary to get their message out to the world for sovereign rights in their homeland. 

"To have a venue such as New York appreciate the importance of the Hawaiian culture, their relationship to the land, and their concern for the environment, is outstanding. 

"The world is becoming aware of the Native Hawaiians and the importance of their magnificent culture! Aloha Ke Akua," she stated.


Earlier this year, at the Maui Flm Festival, Bauknight's film was presented with The Audience Award - Best Hawai`i Film.


Next be screening will be Nov. 4, 2009 at the American Film Market in Los Angeles for worldwide distribution.

AKAKA BILL PASSAGE WON'T END ATTACKS ON HAWAIIANS

Maui News - October 18, 2009

...The Akaka Bill says you have to first be a U.S. citizen to "qualify" as a "Native Hawaiian"; then you must have 50 percent or more Hawaiian blood and be a descendant of the original inhabitants of the Hawaiian Islands, who lived prior to 1778, to "qualify" as a "Native Hawaiian."

If you have 49 percent or less Hawaiian blood and cannot trace your Hawaiian genealogy before 1778 you are not "Native Hawaiian."

If the Akaka Bill passes into law or not, the attacks on Hawaiians will not go away. I strongly believe it will intensify like what we've seen on the national scene since President Obama took office.

But what is disturbing is should the bill pass we will see more of the rich getting richer by making the poor pay for it all.

ADDING INSULT TO INJURY

Movie Title Calls Hawaiian Princess Ka`iulani "Barbarian"


"Barbarian Princess" movie writer/director Marc Forby said that including the term “barbarian” in the movie’s title was meant to be ironic. "We wanted to draw attention to how Hawaiians were treated in the 1800s…”

Knowing that back then, the word “barbarian” was an insult to Princess Ka`iulani and all Hawaiians; and knowing that Hawaiians today consider it an insult, the real irony is that Forby chooses to continue the insult.

And for what? To attract “middle America” so they can know the story of Ka`iulani. I get it, the insult is a marketing ploy!


Forby said “this has never been about exploiting the Hawaiian people. I never knew it would get so heated. I thought the irony would be obvious."

Forby is obviously clueless. The true irony is that he has no qualms about blaring out a century-old racial slur on the movie marquee so he can sell more tickets. He does P.T. Barnum proud.


Forby apologized for “any offense the title has caused.” That’s good, but did he change the offensive title? No. So we Hawaiians will stack it with the other worthless apologies while the Marc Forbys continue adding insult to injury.

DID YOU KNOW HAWAI`I WAS A MULTI-ETHNIC NATION?
In 1843, Hawai`i was a recognized independent nation.

Hawai`i had treaties with 25 world nations and had 96 legates and consuls throughout the world, including in the US.


But US covert and overt activities led to the 1893 invasion of the Hawaiian Kingdom and the US immediately recognized those who overthrew the kingdom without the people's knowledge.

Using that backing, they created the bogus "Republic of Hawai`i" against the people's wishes.

All legal attempts to annex Hawai`i to the US failed because the citizens of the Hawaiian Nation then overwhelmingly protested and sent their anti-annexation petitions to Washington, DC.

In covering up the hoax, Congress was forced to pass the Newlands Resolution declaring that the majority wished for the annexation of Hawai`i without a lawful treaty.

That's how Hawai`i became unlawfully annexed, and ultimately a fake state.
