The Hawaiian Kingdom was never annexed by the United States. We all knowthat the United State's claim of annexing the Hawaiian Kingdom on July 7, 1898 was a lie and that the United States perpetuates their lie. Why do we keep ignoring that FACT? Article 53 of the Fourth Geneva Convention provides that "(a]ny destruction by the Occupying Power of real or personal property belonging individually or collectively to private persons, or to the State, or to other public authorities, or to social or cooperative organizations, is prohibited, except where such destruction is rendered absolutely necessary by military operations." This Council can lean on international laws of occupation to justify adoption of Hawaii County Resolution 234-25. We all know that Hawaii is NOT absolutely necessary for military operations of the United States occupier. We also know that the occupier is using and abusing Hawaii as their stepping stone towards global dominance. In 2024, the occupier spent $997 billion on their military, which is more than the next nine countries' combined. Its time the occupier put their money where their mouth is and truly be good stewards of the aina and clean up their mess! Contaminating our environment with toxic metals and other hazardous materials, and leaving that mess in place, can never be justified! Inquiring minds should want to know why potable water is still being hauled to Pohaku Loa after a successful water well was drilled at Comm. Ref. To: 1 Ref. Date P - 3 20P5 Pohakuloa over ten years ago. Has the occupier poisoned our high level perched water supplies too? In conclusion, it's all a lie and we all know it - so why keep ignoring it? The United States military has a long history of desecration, lies, and deceit. They are not our friends, friends care. Mahalo for voting yes on Hawaii County Resolution 234-25! On behalf of my ohana and myself, Mahalo nui Loa! Isaac Taka" Harp Virus-free.www.aw.com go .Tug M0 2
