Hawai`i County Charter Commission -10 April 25, 2019 DWIGHT VICENTE: Communication Nos. 1, 2, 7, 9, and 11, commenting. MR. VICENTE: Good Morning, my name is Dwight Vicente representing the Hawaiian Kingdom. Communication 36, I am doing the real property tax appeal based on the great divide. The Joint Resolution of 1898 where one million seven hundred fifty thousand acres which was not under King Kalakaua's 25 year lease was illegally ceded to the United States and the lease lands which are being illegally developed right now for urban use or even subdividing them to smaller parcels than what they were originally leased out under Kalakaua's 25 year lease program. The County is trying and the State is trying to assume jurisdiction over the lands that they don't have jurisdiction over. See what... the one million seven hundred fifty thousand acres became the territory of Hawai`i in 1920 became Hawaiian Homes, in 1959 Hawaiian Homes/State of Hawai`i by Compact and the County is a subdivision of the State of Hawai`i meaning Hawaiian Home Lands only. What you are doing is assuming jurisdiction by claiming the zoning change through the Land Use Commission and the County during their planning, general plan, and then they are subdividing them and using that to raise revenue by land speculation. Well, you got to remember, you cannot speculate on lands that Native Hawaiians still have rights to and not the lease lands... still had Native Tenant Rights attached to it. And they were under contract by the Hawaiian Kingdom and there was never... illegally ceded. So the question of the jurisdiction of the County Charter stating that the County is the whole island, I don't think so. It is only the lands and should be limited to the lands for now that are designated Hawaiian Home Lands only. Not the whole island. So my real property tax appeal is based on the limits on the Hawaiian Home's Commission Act which is Hawaiian Homes only and the County cannot assume jurisdiction beyond that. And I am moving on to 1, 7, 9, and 11. These are based again on the great divide of 1898, the Joint Resolution which illegally ceded to the United States the one million seven hundred fifty thousand acres that became the Territory of Hawai`i, Hawaiian Homes and 1959 the State of Hawai`i. There is no amendment to the... that, and there was illegally ceded... ah, became incorporated under Article Four, Section Three, Clause Two of the U.S. (United States) Constitution. No amendments. Marbury vs. Madison. You cannot assume stuff that is not amended into the Constitution. Here there is no amendment. And then you have Downes vs. Bidwell, the U.S. is arguing in the Federal Court that they want to be like the Kingdoms in Europe, well there is no amendment for that but the Court had approved that and now the U.S. has gone globally. They are in every country. There's incorporated and unincorporated territories. Unincorporated includes South Korea, Japan, Philippines, Guam, Samoa, Micronesia, Panama Zone, Guantanamo, Cuba used to be, but it broke free, ah... Virgin Isles, Puerto Rico, Germany, Spain, Turkey, Middle East... everywhere where you see the U.S. military and that is... how you can tell that is read the rape case that took place in Page 4
