The Struggle To Free Hawaii…

hawaii The Struggle To Free Hawaii...From Twitter, I have learned that there is a group of people from Hawaii who feel they are the true Natives of Hawaii and they want their land and resources back from the United States.

I asked @hawaiitvblog to tell me more about what his group is doing and what the situation is. This is what he replied with:

Here is my 400 word essay, starting from now: Hawai’i TV will have daily video’s that will first “AROUSE” you and then “AWAKEN”

to know about Hawaii’s status as an independent Country under prolonged illegal occupation by the United States. We are also constantly looking to network with people who want to help us “end the U.S. occupation of Hawai’i.” You can find us on Twitter and Facebook, you can Email me at kaleo@hawaiitvblog.com, or call my direct number at 808.489.7065 or go to www.hawaiitvblog.com

U are absolutely right Dave about that. That is why we need all of the American people to know the FACTS about Hawai’i…

It will be the American people calling their own leaders and government accountable for it’s actions and to do what is right!!!

Like Martin Luther King Jr. did long ago, when he called America to do what it says in their own documents!!! Ultimately, to not be hypocrites themselves!!!

It’s already been a 117 year struggle for a “FREE HAWAI’I. That is why Hawai’i TV was birthed and formed, to utilize the internet

The U.S. is doing more of a “genocidal” and “crimes against humanity” here in Hawai’i by taking away of our land and resources!!!

Here is one of the best links that people can plug into to get the vital FACTS and information they need about Hawaii’s status to

Am I Being Targeted? If so, Should I Worry About it?

Just to give you a little background: About 7 years ago, I went to Beijing’s Tiananmen Square to protest the human rights violations against the peaceful Falun Gong – who are being persecuted brutally by the Chinese Communist Party.

They said they weren’t arresting us – there were about 70 of us from various western countries. But, they held us against our will. Some were beaten. They told us that they would not allow us to talk to our embassies – which is a violation of International Law. So, it sure felt like being arrested. But on the other hand, what they did was illegal because their is nothing in the Chinese Constitution that says you can’t protest human rights violations.

But this is how the Chinese Communist Party Rolls.

So anyway, I have occasionally twittered out the address: http://ninecommentaries.com on twitter.

Well today, I get a phone call from a strange sounding Chinese guy who says he is from the State of Kansas, where I live. What was strange is that his number showed up as 000-000-0000 on my cell phone.

He sounded like he was from some government office and wanted to verify the address of my business. I did so.

I thought he was an official from Kansas, but then I saw the number.

I asked him who he was and he pretended that he couldn’t hear me, “sir”, “sir” he said – and then the phone went dead.

Well, I’m no stranger to this kind of thing. In fact, most Falun Gong practitioners that have been active against the persecution get calls like this.

First, my statement to the Chinese agents who will inevitably read this: Your time will not last. Your crimes are being recorded and when the time comes you will be tried in International Courts just like the Nazis were.

You think you are documenting us, but we are documenting you and your criminal activities. So, I guess your best bet is to quit the CCP and go back to a normal life and hope that you are not remembered when the time comes to start prosecuting the Communist party members one by one….

Now that I got that off my chest. My question to the others who read this is: What do you think I should do about today’s event and how do you feel about what happened? How do you feel about communist agents harassing people outside of their own borders or within their own borders for that matter: you can read about their crimes at http://faluninfo.net

When will China become free?

It is a very interesting thing when you talk about freedom in China.  You have leading liberal thinkers in China calling for an end to the many injustices and human rights violations that occur under the current communist regime.  One has only to visit ninecommentaries.com a read just a little bit of the commentaries to realize that there are real problems in China that must be dealt with. 

This is the most populous nation in the world and it is having these terrible injustices where innocent and even very productive members of society are being tortured and beaten for something as simple as saying ‘democracy is good’ or Falun Dafa is good ( a peaceful meditation group that strives to be and do good). 

When you have such a destructive system of government, what can you do to change it?  There has to be a way. What do you think?

Man I’m bummed about this!

Well, looks like the communists in China are at it again. First they torture the husband to death and now they want to put the wife in prison for a lifetime.

This is so sickening. I have no idea why the Chinese government cannot respect the peaceful spiritual beliefs of their population. Why does the Commie gov have to do evil all of the time?

There are good people out there in the world – all they want to do is meditate or read a book and here you have the chinese government doing bad things to them. What for? It makes no sense at all.

Another Innocent Chinese Citizen Killed By China’s Communist Party

Middle-Aged Farmer Dies of Torture
Northeastern Chinese man jailed for carrying 100 leaflets about the persecution of Falun Gong; he is killed of same persecution
05 Nov 2008

The Falun Dafa Information Center has learned that a 45-year-old farmer from northeastern China has died as a result of torture after being illegally detained for three months. His fingerprints on a fabricated confession were taken while he was unconscious for an alleged “crime” of carrying 100 Falun Gong flyers.

“The use of fabricated ‘confessions’ for crimes that don’t even exist are far too often used against Falun Gong torture victims,” says Falun Dafa Information Center spokeswoman Gail Rachlin.

Prominent Chinese human rights lawyers like Gao Zhisheng and Li Heping have argued that possessing information about human rights issues does not violate any Chinese law and is a right that should be protected under China’s own constitution. These lawyers, too, have been tortured as a result.

The Falun Gong torture victim, Mr. Dong Liantai, lived in Zhengjiu village in the countryside of China’s northernmost province Heilongjiang. He died after being sent to a labor camp in the provincial capital, Harbin.

“Heilongjiang province has one of the highest death rates of Falun Gong practitioners killed by torture,” Rachlin said. “Its labor camps are particularly notorious for using brutal torture methods, including forced-feeding, on Falun Gong practitioners.”

While riding his bicycle home at 7:00pm on June 24, 2008, two village officials accosted Mr. Dong and detained him without explanation. Police officer Fan Zimin then ransacked his home and took him to the local Shuangcheng town police department to be interrogated.

During interrogation Mr. Dong reportedly lost consciousness due to beatings to his face. According to an acquaintance of Mr. Dong’s who would not disclose his identity, police officers then dragged him and pressed his fingerprints on a “confession” statement. His crime was being in possession of 100 Falun Gong flyers.

He was then held in the Shuangcheng City Detention Center and interrogated again. He was charged with disturbing social order.

“I did not disrupt social order by riding my bike home,” Mr. Dong had reportedly said before he died. “Those officers threatened that they could sentence me to forced labor for two years.”

Dong was then indeed sent to Wanjia Forced Labor Camp for ten days and then taken to Changlinzi Forced Labor Camp for “reeducation.” In attempts to break his will and belief, guards tortured him by tying him to a “Tiger Bench” and force-feeding him mustard oil and highly concentrated salt water.

The torture caused Mr. Dong to cough severely. He could not sleep and felt a hot, burning sensation in his chest and stomach, after which he passed out.

On July 10, 2008, Mr. Dong’s family was notified that he was sentenced to forced labor and tried visiting him. But labor camp officials claimed he was not there and provided no further information of his whereabouts.

Two months later, Mr. Dong was already near death because of torture. Fearing that he would die in custody, camp administrators returned him to the local Shuancheng town government to have his family pick him up.

Chinese labor camps have been known to regularly release Falun Gong practitioners on the brink of death hoping to avoid the local or international scrutiny that sometimes accompanies a death in custody. If the prisoner dies at home, the labor camp officials can more easily dodge accusations of responsibility.

According to witnesses, the night before they returned him home, camp guards told Mr. Dong: “We are taking you home, because you will not live through the night.”

By then, Mr. Dong was coughing up lung tissue and said that he felt as if his insides were burning. His back and internal organs were causing him unbearable pain.

He died eight days after being released at 6:40 p.m. on September 19, 2008, with a high fever and in extreme pain.

Background
Founded in 1999, the Falun Dafa Information Center is a New York-based organization that documents the rights violations of adherents of Falun Gong (or “Falun Dafa”) taking place in the People’s Republic of China. In July of 1999 China’s autocratic Communist Party launched an unlawful campaign of arrests, violence, and propaganda with the intent of “eradicating” the apolitical practice; it is believed certain leaders feared the influence of the practice’ 100 million adherents. The campaign has since grown in violence and scope, with millions having been detained or sent to forced labor camps. The Center has verified details of over 3,000 deaths and over 63,000 cases of torture in custody (reports / sources). Falun Gong is a traditional-style Buddhist “qigong” practice, with roots in the Chinese heritage of cultivating the mind/body for health and spiritual growth.
