"Now to avoid any collision of armed forces, and perhaps the loss of life, I do this under protest and impelled by said force yield my authority until such time as the Government of the United States shall, upon facts being presented to it, undo the action of its representatives and reinstate me in the authority which I claim as the Constitutional Sovereign of the Hawaiian Islands." Queen Liliuokalani, Jan 17, 1893

@Pinkerton1 If they took it illegally I don't see why any of their representatives would give it back. Even if one of them were righteous enough to try, the rest would be against it. One day the tables will be turned and the minority will be viewed as the true righteous people that we are. God bless my Queen.

The 50th state of illegal occupation by the USA, known to us.

@koanifoundation Most Hawaiians still supported statehood except for the few hundred on Niihau.

@brodell20. If I may say, why would North Korea or any other country invade Hawaii? What would be the point? No matter which one, its still the same as America did. And America was just as bad. And in North Korea's specific case, why would they waste all that time and money to travel 5000 miles accros the Pacifc to go invade a peaceful country when they could've invaded South Korea?

Sovereignty will never happen. What about the billions of dollars in existing infrastructure, are you going to give it back? How you guys going to protect yourselves if n.korea decides to invade? Locals don’t even take care of the land, almost every day I see someone with a sovereignty sticker on their truck fly beer or cigarettes out in the bushes.

@koanifoundation i agree, but i just don't understand that how is hawaii to be its own again, what will happen? will the u.s. stop any country from trying to take the land? i just feel that it's sad that from outside eyes, that it cannot go back to the way it once was.
if not america, someone else would have taken the islands. i don't know why no one else thinks of this.

@TheMoncibaiz A lot of people have thought of it. But saying "If America hadn't taken over Hawai`i some other power would have," is like the rapist saying to his victim, "If I hadn't raped you, someone else would have." It's still no excuse.

the bottom line is self-determination: people living in hawaii voted for statehood. it was done through a democratic process. if they have another vote today, and if the vote is for independence, then through a process of self-determination they should get their sovereignty ... i just think it's dishonest to say you speak for most hawaiians.

@BoricuaChiTown Actually the statehood vote was not done thru a democratic process at all. Visit Hawaii Fake State dot com for more info.
