up from three to five years to 25 years. Now, the plantation used most of those lands and the <br />pastural ones was leased out to the guys who raise cattle. Now, these lands are still under the <br />jurisdiction of the Hawaiian Kingdom because the leases ended in 1915. And, the only reason <br />why it was not ceded in 1898 by the banana republic of Hawaii was the fact that there was <br />contracts on those lands. The lands that, the Crown and Government lands that did not have a <br />contract was 1,750,000 acres that was illegally ceded to the United States and incorporated under <br />Article IV, Section II, Clause 2 of the U.S. Constitution, no amendment, Marbury vs. Madison. <br />Now, these lands today, the County and the State of Hawaii and the Federal Government is <br />taking control of this, leased lands that were not ceded to the U.S. In 1920, the lands that were <br />illegally ceded was rebranded. The Crown and Government lands were rebranded as Hawaiian <br />Home Lands, and those lands you don't have fee simple. Well, there's no fee simple, and now <br />[inaudible] million acres also. And, those lands still fall under the jurisdiction of the Hawaiian <br />Kingdom. So, anyone claiming to own the land is fraudulent, and the County and the State of <br />Hawaii does not have jurisdiction over these lands that were not ceded. Their limits are the <br />Hawaiian Homes Lands. That is the County of Hawaii and the State of Hawaii. So, they <br />cannot be claiming, even like this Commission here, there's no jurisdiction over thelands, only <br />the lands only rebranded as Hawaiian Home lands. <br />So, the development becomes illegal, and you cannot be facilitating an illegal act. We're looking <br />forward to bringing in an injunction against the County and the State and the Federal, if need be, <br />against the illegal development of these 2 million plus acres of Crown and Government lands <br />that were not ceded to the United States in 1898. The courts has jurisdiction to stop the County <br />and the State from going beyond its limits which is Hawaiian Home lands. The other lands is <br />still Hawaiian Kingdom and has native tenant rights to every inch of land that was not ceded. <br />And, my job here is to make sure you guys don't go beyond the limits. And, even the limits of <br />Hawaiian Home lands is even questionable because there's no amendment to the U.S. <br />Constitution. There is no State of Hawaii because the Article I, Section II, Clause 3 of the U.S. <br />Constitution, there's only 13 states. There's no Article V amendment to have any more than 13 <br />states. <br />So, with that, I'll end with the reservation of the rights of this Kingdom under the Queen's <br />Protest of January 17, 1893, against U. S. Minister Stevens that has yet to make its way to U.S. <br />Supreme Court, Article III, Section 2, Clause 2, original but limited jurisdiction. And, the other <br />one is the constitutionality of 1898 joint resolution. And, the other one is the 1875 Reciprocity <br />Treaty which King Kalakaua and the U.S. President <br />CLARKSON: Please wrap it up <br />VICENTE: —did not sign. And, the other one is the 1820President Munroe appointed John <br />C. Jones as the agent for the U.S., and he was in charge of the missionary family and the U.S. <br />Navy that was sent [inaudible] without constitutional amendment or authority [inaudible]. <br />Thank you. <br />CLARKSON: Any questions for either of these testifiers from the Commission? <br />EXHIBIT A <br />19 <br />
