kingdom_of_hawaii_seal_of_the_king_26There are some very significant points made here by Ali`i Nui Mō`ī Edmund K. Silva, Jr., to Governor Ige. I do know from selected communications with those closer to the State of Hawaii that myself, that they are having to step very carefully. They are essentially backed into a corner. We shall see what happens.

"My family has publicly proclaimed our pre-eminent royal Hawaiian lineage. We proclaim concomitant skills and mastery in the most ancient Native Hawaiian cultural practices of royal governance (laws of consecration and ohana servitude), the 12 levels of the practice of kahuna nui specifically that of prophecy and healing arts, and the cultural mastery of ancient traditional justice (kūkākūkā – ho`oponopono).

"I am the King and your actions and that of your agents... are in direct violation of Kānāwai Māmalahoe, or Law of the Splintered Paddle established by King Kamehameha I in 1797 and amended by me in 2015. "Let every elderly person, woman and child lie by the roadside in safety," is enshrined in the State Constitution, Article 9, Section 10, and has become a model for modern human rights law regarding the treatment of civilians and other non-combatants.

"You are trying to prevent the TMT group from suing the State of Hawai'i for a billion dollars, if they are not able to complete the construction of their telescope. You are also being pressured by some large companies threatening to leave Hawai'i if the TMT is stopped... As to the corporations that might leave Hawai'i, if the TMT is stopped, they were never really part of our community anyway or they would not be making such threats. We will be better off in the long run if they leave and we work together to build an economy that truly works for everyone, not just the big corporations.

"...the Protectors are acting to prevent the desecration of a sacred site, to assure the rights of spiritual practitioners, and to protect the ecological systems of which Mauna a Wākea is a critical part. Who has the highest calling?

"...you should embrace your kuleana as Governor of Hawai'i, not TMT Land.

"What is most appalling is your threat of sending in the National Guard, sending in more police officers, threatening to increase jail time and impose heavier fines as a form of punishment and control to enforce your will upon my people. You are seriously mistaken to think that you can control the will of the people. I'm here to tell you, that the Will of the people is alive and well."
