VICENTE: Can I go a George Foreman? So, I can breathe. Take off the mask. Chuckle. ROY: Inaudible. VICENTE: No need that because I'm not sick. ROY: Inaudible, you not sick. VICENTE: I'm not carrying anything that I know of. ROY: I know, but are you a doctor? VICENTE: No, but I'm a non-sick person right now. Giggle. We all got our distance. RAFFIPIY: Mr. Vicente, I think that is a lot better. If you can take that off and put that on you can stick the microphone inside here. Underneath here. VICENTE: That's okay. RAFFIPIY: It's a lot better. VICENTE: Okay. My name s Dwight Vicente. I'm representing the Hawaiian Kingdom. What you call the land in question was leased out to Waiakea Mill. The lease was to end under King Kalakaua's 25-year lease contract. The term lease contract was to end in 1915. So,these lands technically were not ceded in 1898. I'm sure you guys heard about the term "roads in limbo". Well, if the "roads in limbo", the land is in limbo. The same principle under the "roads in limbo" applies to the land and the State is uses separate power over these agricultural lease lands by the State Land Use Commission. You get the State Historical Preservation and the Burial Council, and this Commission uses certain powers over those lease land. So, the Banana Republic technically had no jurisdiction over the leased lands and the land that wasn't leased. So, in 1898 the Banana Republic could not have ceded 1,750,000 acres of Crown and Government lands to the United States. They had no authority. In fact, the treaty they are relying on is the Reciprocity Treaty of 1875. King Kalakaua and the U.S. President did not do the treaty. They had the Three Stooges doing it in Washington DC. They got Fisch, Carter and Allen. Three U.S. citizens that not authorized to do an Article II, Section 2 treaty. From 1875 till today they rely on the 1875 Reciprocity Non-Treaty. That's why we are here today. But,think about it now if the "roads in limbo", the lands is in limbo. It's really ridiculous the same principle under the "roads in limbo"that goes to the lands. And the County Charter is false because they are claiming the whole island is the County of Hawaii which you cannot have the "roads in limbo"then. So,there is something wrong with the County Charter if we got"roads in limbo". You should really think about it. You got your attorney here to advise you guys. So, these lands here, are leased lands. They got native tender rights and political rights based on EXHIBIT A
