kingdom_of_hawaii_seal_of_the_king_17This is quite an important document, in my mind. In addition to the declaration regarding taxes, it points out many historical elements which apply to the current situation on the islands. This is particularly significant when paralleled with the massive worldwide uprising in awareness about the Mauna Kea situation.

All of the letters posted on the Kingdom of Hawai'i blog and website are setting the stage, step by step, in my view, for the reemergence and re-energizing of the Kingdom.

"Be it known that I, Edmund Keli'i Silva, Jr., King of the Kingdom of Hawai'i, hereby declare that the entire archipelago and surrounding seas of the archipelago belong to the Kingdom of Hawai'i; that all peoples throughout the world are served notice that Hawai'i is an independent, non-aligned, sovereign nation ordained and sanctified by 'Creator.'

"Federal and State Taxes Will Not Be Paid To The Occupying Nation of The Federal Government of the United States and it's subordinate State – State of Hawai'i or subordinate subdivision – County[s] of Hawai'i

"We need go no further in the history to understand that the seizure of the Kingdom was an illegal act of war even pursuant to domestic United States law. For the United States to later accept the poison fruits of that crime is simply a perpetuation of the original crime. Each day, the continued occupation of Hawai'i by the United States is an act in furtherance of the original conspiracy to annex the Kingdom.

"Neither the false annexation nor the unauthorized military expansion gives any legitimacy to the United State Federal Government or any of its subordinate governments. The United States admitted as such when, in 1945, [it] entered Hawai'i on the United Nations list of non-self governing nations.

"Nor can the United States levy taxes on any funds coming to me or the Kingdom. Taxation constitutes the occupying power taking property belonging to citizens of the occupied territory and transferring ownership of that property to the occupying power. The United States and its subordinate governments instituted the taxation of Kingdom citizens without notice or an opportunity for hearing."

Ali`i Nui Mō`ī Edmund K. Silva, Jr., 4-21-15… "Taxes Proclamation"

On this Earth Day, the King issued a reminder that the Kingdom is restored and no longer subject to the jurisdiction of the United States Federal Government or its subordinate government entities. His message addresses the subject of taxation specifically.
