SPINNEY:My name is Alfred Spinney. My address is 74-5172 -. NOMURA:Please -. SPINNEY:Kanai Place, Kailua-Kona, Hawaiian Kingdom 96740. GIFFIN:Thank you. You may begin. SPINNEY:Okay. Aloha -. GIFFIN:Aloha. SPINNEY:Maka`anana. DAVID:Aloha mai. M. ROY:Aloha. SPINNEY:And officers of the occupying administration. Let's see. It's no secret, you know, about what had happened to the Hawaiian Kingdom, yeah. This is all relevant to all cases that come before the Council, because it's well documented in history. It's more along the international arena that this matter has to be dealt with because of the position that the, well, the occupier has, which is not being responsible and accountable for the actions that had taken place. Okay. But oc extinguish the legal attitude of this state or the citizen base. But it is destroying a lot of the landmarks, traditional and historical marks, landmarks. For example, the pier, okay, but there's more than just one. There has been a lot of buildin Kingdom, a lot of destruction. But, apparently, you know, money talks. That's the thinking frame of America, is progress and money. Okay. This is not meant to be addressed on a personal addressment, so I'm not really addressing it personally, but because you are in the position to make these decisions. And we have Rowena Akana up in Washington who had already stated that what the Hawaiian nationals wanted was their kingdom back and that it was not a reality, that's like an opinion. So weÓve got to understand that it's the international arena that makes these decisions and not the domestics of the US that occupy this place. Okay. So what I really need to stress is that because you hold an office within the administration of the occupier, and you make certain decisions that affect the outcome and the lives of the nationals that live here, then from this day on, I'd like to put the Councils, I'd like to put the representatives, the whole administration of the State of Hawai`i on notice that any destruction that comes to our historic landmarks, any destruction of the resources that get destroyed, a lot of resources have been destroyed, that you will be held accountable. Because regardless of the opinions of the United States, the State of Hawai`i administrations, it's a international decision that will be made. And no matter what color this act, this unlawful act is painted, white is white, black is black. So, like I said, it's well documented in history of what had happened. You are in the position right now 8
