There is a show coming up on RT TV, Hawai'i: The Stolen Paradise. Some of you may wish to catch it on RT's live feed. The time should be available at RT's schedule page.
About the text below, here are my points.
- "The Hawaiians believe that during the first few decades of the 20th century the U.S. was devoted to overriding the native language, Hawaiian culture and replace it with tourism." This is not just "a belief"... this happened. And still happens today. This is the definition of cultural genocide.
- "The U.S. claims she has legally annexed Hawaii as its 50th state. But there are many conflicting views when it comes to this." Hawai'i was never annexed. The vote for statehood was illegal, and not carried out according to international law (i.e., U.N. guidelines).
- "In 1993 President Bill Clinton signed a joint resolution of Congress..." This was the "Apology Resolution", which basically said, "Yes, we illegally stole your Kingdom. Sorry. Now step aside while we continue to bring our warships and submarines here to keep expanding the U.S. CORP's empire and our low-frequency sonar to deplete your cetacean population. Sorry." (the latter sentence is an example of what is known as "The 'We Are an Asshole' Provision" of almost every U.S. CORPORATION treaty)
- To check out some of these items, please go to the Kingdom of Hawai'i series.

Hawaii: The stolen paradise
The documentary takes us on a journey to revisit the history and origins of Hawaii and its people. How they came to develop an independent civilization globally recognized until the overthrow of the monarchy and the illegal annexation by the United States in 1893.
The Hawaiians believe that during the first few decades of the 20th century the U.S. was devoted to overriding the native language, Hawaiian culture and replace it with tourism. All this as a mask to hide the true goal: to make Hawaii the most important military base of the American empire.
The U.S. claims she has legally annexed Hawaii as its 50th state. But there are many conflicting views when it comes to this. In 1993 President Bill Clinton signed a joint resolution of Congress in which he literally, "acknowledges that the overthrow of the Kingdom of Hawaii occurred with the active participation of agents and citizens of the U.S., and also recognizes that Native Hawaiians never they gave up their sovereign rights and national people."
