The Hawaiian monarchy was also establish by force and also by Western arms and support... a mere 84 years prior.

By that standard, the Kingdom of Hawaii itself was also established illegally.

Your argument here is so historically naive that it takes all breath away.

That is the case even if this were not true. You are not doing a very good job of connecting the dots. In fact, you're not doing a very good job of providing dots.

The vetting of candidates for President has always been in the hands of the electorate. That's where the Framers and Founders put it.

Then I suggest you vote differently.

There is no better background check than the scrutiny of some 13 million Americans. Even if you assigned responsibility to some "star chamber" to dig up dirt, would you trust a small extra-constitutional body of people who hold who-knows-what agenda to usurp our right to choose our leadership?

It sounds to me like you are suggesting we replace our constitutional republic with some sort of undefined oligarchy or politburo.

I'm uncomfortable with such a suggestion. But that's just me.

Zen proverb


Seriously?

A non sequitur, an ad hominem, an allusion to feigned wisdom, and no response.
Sorry, it seems you have no brilliance with which to dazzle and I am not even slightly baffled by your BS.

Try again. Actually reading the article without trying to read in whatever you want to believe might help.

United States Violates International Law

In violation of treaties entered between the Hawaiian Kingdom and the United States of America and basic principles of international law, the United States Minister Stevens extended de facto recognition to the provisional government, that was formed by the traitors, without the consent of the Government of the Hawaiian Kingdom, while United States Naval forces secured themselves across the Government building. 4 Thereafter, all Government employees of the Kingdom were forced to sign oaths of allegiance to the provisional government or risk termination of their employment, as American troops fortified their position


Leon Siu Is an hawaiian National living under the Kingdom of Hawaii's laws.
