Hawaii politician stops voting, claiming islands are 'occupied sovereign country'
A Hawaii politician has refused to attend months of meetings because she believes Hawaii may not actually be a part of the US.

Jennifer Ruggles has served two years as the Hawaii county councilwoman for the district of Puna – the same part of the Big Island that was devastated by the eruption of the Kilauea volcano earlier this year. In August, Ruggles caused a stir at a routine committee meeting when she announced she was concerned that Hawaii was not a part of the US, but instead an occupied foreign country.

“What I’m asking challenges the foundation of everything that we believe to be true in Hawaii,” Ruggles told the Guardian.

And she’s not the only one! Recently elected Kauai County council member Mason Chock came out yesterday saying the same thing.

Ea!!!

That's why you don't leave indigenous people alive when you take over. You just clean house and start from scratch. Lessons to be learned for the next stage of colonization i guess

Would they have preferred Japanese annexation?


If not for the US occupation, that would probably have happened.

Re: Hawaii politician stops voting, claiming islands are 'occupied sovereign country'
I used to live in princeville, or haoleville as the local racist natives liked to call it since most natives were priced out of this side of the island and it's mostly white. To be honest, I've never lived in a more openly racist state then Hawaii. If you are latino, black or white you're heavily and openly discriminated against by the locals. Had enough of that boring island and sold my home to some sucker who paid 1.2 million for some mildew saturated timber that I could build for $90,000 back home. You need to be so laid back you're seconds away from death to enjoy living in kauai, not my kind of island.

Too many hippies, too many racist natives, too many asians pretending to be natives. If Hawaii ever gained its independence it would be a Chinese territory within a decade.

putin

It was illegally invaded by the US

Was never legally annexed

And the plebiscite for statehood was also completely illegal - by both international law and US law

In short what I gathered back when I used to live on Kauai and listen to their KKCR station they want non natives to forfeit their land and their property to have a 99 year lease that eventually expires so the value would keep dropping as it sold throughout the years.

They dont want to follow any federal regulations when it comes to fishing, endangered species ect.

They dont want federal taxes

They dont want the military bases on their island

They want to be openly free to discriminate against your skin color and ethnicity for jobs, land ect..

Re: Hawaii politician stops voting, claiming islands are 'occupied sovereign country'
Ah yes, let these people conveniently ignore the history of conflicts and geography. Hawaii was going to be invaded one way or another in either of the TWO world wars. Without sounding condescending, they should be a bit more introspective and realize the USA was the only choice for a life that wasn't in chains.

Hawaiians are a nice and proud people. When you get local politicians that stir up anger about this, people should understand its just for personal gain. Nothing will ever come of this. If not for humanitarian reasons, it will be for strategic reasons.

Why do people have to be so dumb. A real deal maker would position themselves to use this to better the state, not break it and then what? Figure out after that?

Yeah it means you must fight to achieve it. Good luck getting all your severely overwieght 300-400 pound natives together with sticks and knives to revolt. You will never be soverign you will be a state within the USA or a chinese territory or some other super power in the future will take you over. You cannot defend yourself, you are no longer a bunch of natives in the middle of a massive ocean where the rest of hte world does not know you even exist. We found you, we took you over, we took your land and theres really nothing you can or will do about it.

All the same stuff still going on over there I see, nothings changed. Too bad, we want America to go back to being white and christian but we aint gonna get that either.

You’ve read edited propaganda talking points and not history. I’ve delved deeply for nearly 20 years. Hawaii and all of Polynesia were poised to form a union with China and Japan at the time of the overthrow. If this had occurred and the Kingdom not invaded by the US, there is a very good chance that neither World War would have occurred.

1. 1*

2. You will never achieve independence in my lifetime -- let alone my daughter's.


Puerto Rico has a better chance.


3. How do you know the average resident of Hawaii, native or otherwise, would benefit at all from "independence"?


4. If you do achieve independence, I suggest you all learn Chinese, becuase you are going to need it.

 Quoting: roirraw


Hawaiians consider asians to be the same as them since they have similar features. The Asians in Hawaii mostly pretend to be native and are accepted as such. They together HATE whites, blacks and latinos. And by HATE I mean they discriminate in nearly all job applications giving to asians and natives first, they call you a haole, they have beat haole days at public schools, they rant and rave about taking away your land and evicting you from their island openly without shame.
