‘Righteousness exalts’
Mark Zuckerberg’s high-profile Kauai land issue shines the light on and exposes the perpetuation of evil in Hawaii.
American businessmen and the U.S. Congress were responsible for Hawaii’s overthrow. It’s a disgrace to our nation. It contradicts the essence of what’s supposed to make our country great. Respecting people and property rights are fundamental.
Exploiting Hawaiians is still occurring. Quiet title/quit-claim is practiced throughout the islands, especially since plantation closures. Land is legally plundered through this court-endorsed process.
Real estate and escrow companies, lenders, investors, attorneys, construction entities, the county, the state and the public are accessory to this atrocity, using the same mentality as Hawaii’s first overthrow.
West Maui is guilty. Alexander &Baldwin is headed down that “hall of shame.” The state Land Use Commission allows developers to obtain boundary amendments on agricultural land with questionable titles. Precedents are established to piecemeal agricultural land for development using Hawaii’s limited natural resources for the benefit of few.
Many Hawaiians don’t understand their land rights and protocol. People think they can sell the land. Not so. Hawaiians practice Levitical land law, which keeps the land within the family in perpetuity.
The majority of Hawaii’s land and resources is controlled by a few entities, making it easier to transition. It’s not too late to do what’s right.
People can change; come to our senses as we ought, and stop sinning. Sin is a reproach to any people. Righteousness exalts a nation.
Restore the Hawaiian nation founded on Lili‘uokalani’s righteous regime of forgiveness, mercy, grace and love.

Internal job?
Concerning the “Internal control weaknesses” article about the Public Works baseyard in Tuesday’s paper (Feb. 21, Tribune-Herald): I would like to add that when Public Works came out to Pahoa Senior Center to do some work several years ago, a number of things disappeared from the center.
Two important items donated to the new senior center; a new barbecue from Home Depot and a large entertainment center with a DVD player from the owner of the Pahoa Real Estate Co. disappeared during the last days of Public Works preparing the center to open.
The disappearance of these items was blamed by the County of Hawaii on the homeless, but it seems very unlikely that such large objects would be useful to someone without a home to put them in. The building had been locked up until the time of the opening.
All donations must be first given to the county, but that does not mean county workers should take them home!
