 THE RAPE OF ALOHA
Compiled by Amelia Gora (2014)
The following is an overview of the Hawaiian Kingdom History in Brief and what the Pirates of the Pacific, supported by the United States who did conspire, premeditate to dethrone Queen Liliuokalani in 1893, and AGAIN after she was made "Queen for the Day" in 1915 or two years before she died .
The use of the goodness of our people, the Aloha was put up for sale and used for economic purposes by foreigners in a neutral, friendly, non-violent nation.
The Hawaiian Kingdom was recognized in 1810 as a Monarchy Government.
The Pacific Empire was a pact made by Kamehameha representing the Hawaiian Islands, Aetearoa (New Zealand), and the Samoan Islands and recognized in the International arena.
Kamehameha
Kamehameha was recognized as a King from a Monarchy government and recognized so in 1810.....he died in 1819 ....our family including Kalanimoku's ohana with Kaahumanu's ohana kept the Monarchy government together.....then the Americans along with others signed the Secret Treaty of Verona in 1822 with the intentions of breaking down Monarchy governments worldwide and move towards One World Order, New World Order see:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_UBXHSFr4bw

Kamehameha II & III
those who premeditated the takeover of the Hawaiian Kingdom were part of the elected body - the third part of the Hawaiian government called the House of Representatives.....the first and second part of the Hawaiian government were and remain PERMANENT parts of the Hawaiian government made up of Kamehameha's, heirs and successors, and the House of Nobles made up of the original members of the House of Nobles.....our ancestors were Mataio Kekuanaoa, Kahekili, and Kauikeaouli/Kamehameha III.....we are heirs of the others as well....note that in 1865 the American Civil War occurred.....Confederate ships sailed past the islands fearing they would be arrested because they carried slaves.....the U.S., England, and France along with the Bank of England financed the war https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ecIVIFLo0uE

SB Dole/Son of a Bitch Dole penned an article in 1874 with the lie, which was maintained by non kanaka maoli...

Sanford Ballard Dole became the head of the Provisional government in 1893.
Kamehameha's existed then and exists now.

King Lunalilo
His mother was Kekauluohi/Auhea who had been married to both Kamehameha and Kamehameha II.  King Lunalilo was the son of her third marriage to Charles Kanaina.
King Lunalilo was the stepbrother of all of the Kamehameha's chidren, stepchildren and hanai chidren.

King David Kalakaua
He was recognized by foreigners, and Hawaiian supporters who were contrary to the rules of appointing leaders.  Pirate Charles Reed Bishop called in the American Navy to assist in the oppositions encountered by David Kalakaua.
King Kalakaua was contrary to the permanent land laws, the alodio/ano alodio system and illegally reconveyed private properties which were already documented by Kamehameha III.
King Kalakaua was forced to sign the foreigner's constitution and did so due to the gun pointed at his head.  King Kalakaua selected his brother to be his successor who died, then appointed his sister Liliuokalani to be his successor.
Queen Liliuokalani
Liliuokalani became Queen Liliuokalani after her brother Kalakaua/King David Kalakaua died.  
The House of Representatives part of the three (3) part government moved to dethrone the Queen with help from the United States Presidents, et. als. who planned, conspired against her, the Alii, the land owners, the title owners, in the Hawaiian Kingdom.
The American Warship BOSTON arrived two days before dethroning the Queen and were under orders by the U.S. President and Congress.  See NEW YORK TIMES article on the Pearl Harbor Coaling Station at http://query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9F0CE6DC1F3FEF33A257...
Queen Liliuokalani was dethroned on January 17, 1893 with the help of the U.S. military.
The House of Representatives, a voted in, temporary part of the Hawaiian Government moved to call themselves the Provisional government which Queen Liliuokalani called an entity, neither de jure nor de facto.
They changed it to the Republic of Hawaii with documented oppositions, then the Territory of Hawaii, and the State of Hawaii.
They moved for Annexation with documented oppositions by kanaka maoli who supported Queen Liliuokalani.

Opposition to Annexation was made by Queen Liliuokalani in 1897 and supported by her 40,000 supporters.
The Rape of "Aloha"
1902 W. C. Weedon convinced a group of Honolulu businessmen to pay him to advertise the Territory of Hawaii on the Mainland.

"on July 19, 1902, the Merchants Association proposed a permanent tourism promotion bureau."

"Mark Twain, correspondent for the Sacramento Union... Hawaii tourism promoters and others have used his lines time and again since then: "No alien land in all the world has any deep strong charm for me but that one; no other land could so longingly and beseechingly haunt me sleeping and waking..."
Hawaii, he wrote, is "the loveliest fleet of islands anchored in any ocean."
Queen Liliuokalani was made "Queen for a Day" by the usurpers in 1915.  She recognized Balboa Day, or Pan-Pacific Day on September 17, 1915.   See THE MID-PACIFIC MAGAZINE, February 1918, Main Library, Honolulu, Oahu .
Queen Liliuokalani died  on November 11, 1917.  
1918 -  "Proposed Call for a Pan-Pacific Conference" was made by the Pan-Pacific Union, "incorporated with an International Board of Trustees, representing every race and nation of the Pacific, in amending its charter, submits" the proposed which was printed in Volume XV, February, 1918, Number 2 of THE MID-PACIFIC MAGAZINE:
'1.  call in conference delegates from and representatives of all Pacific peoples for the purpose of discussing and furthering the interests common to Pacific nations.
2.  maintain in Hawaii and other Pacific lands bureaux of information and education concerning matters of interest to the people of the Pacific...to promote the comfort and interest of all visitors to these lands.
3.  To aid and assist those in all Pacific communities...
4.  To assist and to aid the different races in lands of the Pacific the friendly spirit of inter-racial co-operation.
5.  To own real estate or erect buildings needed for housing exhibits, dioramas, art galleries, or in taking care of visitors...
6.  To maintain a Pan-Pacific Commercial Museum, and Art Gallery of Pacific Paintings...
7.  To create dioramas, gather exhibits, books and other Pan-Pacific material...
8.  To promote and conduct a Pan-Pacific Exposition....
9.  To establish and maintain a permanent college and "clearing house" of information...concerning the lands, commerce, peoples, and trade opportunities in countries of the Pacific....(East West Center - University of Hawaii)
10.  To secure.....the co-operation and support of Federal and State governments, chambers of commerce, city governments, and of individuals.
11.  To enlist for this work of publicity in behalf of Alaska, the Territory of Hawaii, the Philippines, and other American possessions of the Pacific,.....
12.  To bring all nations and peoples about the Pacific Ocean into closer friendly and commercial contact and relationship.'
'It is the intention...to send emissaries about the Pacific to carry on the work....so that after the close of the war we will have the foundation laid to carry on the commerce and traffic that will come to Pacific countries.'
"It was decided to seek the co-operation of the National Parks Service of the United States in furthering the PAN-PACIFIC PROPAGANDA."
1919 - "The tourism promotion agency acquired another new name, the Hawaii Tourist Bureau".
World War I- 1916 
How did World War I get started? Austria being part of the 1822 Secret Treaty of Verona was affected due to the killings of the Austrian Monarchy leaders.... lots more....for many to figure out..........Pirates, Racketeering, Corruption, aided and abetted by documented individuals found in research, even the U.S. Presidents in collusion .......Wicked....oh, women suffrage wasn't had until AFTER Queen Liliuokalani died....so there's lots of issues that shows the multiples of evils found in research.....and discovered by many whistleblowers around the World who have uncovered the truth of the ages.........racketeering at the expense of wealthy nations such as the Hawaiian Kingdom leading to all kinds of attempts to still assume lands, monies, resources belonging to a foreign nation which is NOT the United States, the State of Hawaii, setting up criminal contracts to defraud kanaka maoli, et. als................wicked people in a https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-rCd5uGaM8s during Queen Liliuokalani's period ..........
Conclusion
The Rape of Aloha, even the Rape of Our Queen Liliuokalani is covered in this review.
The Archives did not have information of Queen Liliuokalani's placement on her throne again in 1915.
The University of Hawaii at Manoa records the information as being stolen/ missing.
The Apology Law - P.L. 103-150 does Not cover the fact that Queen Liliuokalani was placed for a day on the throne.  It appears that the purpose was to have her sign a recognition paper for the Balboa Day, Pan-Pacific Day which was for the purpose of Tourism and the cooperation by other nations who could also pirate lands, assets from a neutral, friendly, non violent nation. 

This was an admission of crimes and the crime of USING Queen Liliuokalani for foreigners crimes are genocide issues etc.
The American Congress, the National Parks Services of the United States were all invited to "furthering the Pan-Pacific propaganda", which mean tourism, and the ongoing RAPE of Aloha in the Hawaiian Islands USING the Queen's signature authorizing them to move on Tourism with other goals intended.
Queen Liliuokalani and her subjects, including Kamehameha's, Kamehameha III's et. als. were under duress, stress, usurpation, coercion, intimidation, with documented genocide issues.
All nations who have permanent, perpetual treaty(ies) with the Hawaiian Kingdom, Kamehameha III, et. als. must watch and be aware of the criminal maneuvers, deceit, evidence documented....because the owners are here, the land title owners exists amid the untruths, lies, pirate, parasitic, racketeering activities documented.

There are many unresolved issues, which reveals that this is truly the CRIMINAL MECCA of the U.S., genocide issues.

The Tribunal has documented some of the Pirates found in research and are the basis of the corruption in the Hawaiian Islands, which can be corrected due to the 1850 Treaty of the Hawaiian Kingdom and the United States of America.

May the Truth be ours (all who reads this), and May God be with us always.

Humble Beginnings
Much has changed about the Hawaii visitor industry since May 14, 1902, when W. C. Weedon convinced a group of Honolulu businessmen to pay him to advertise the Territory of Hawaii on the Mainland. But one thing has stayed the same: Throughout the years, the entities which have promoted Hawaii to the world have also had to promote themselves to Hawaii.
Despite the grumbling of powerful sugar planters, it was under the auspices of the Chamber of Commerce and the Merchants Association that the business of tourism promotion began.
Weedon's proposal was to collect $100 per month for six months of lecture tours, and a 'magic lantern' show. Pictures, then as now, could tell Hawaii's story better than anything except the recounted memories of people who had been here. Armed with his stereopticon and some tinted scenes of Hawaii, Weedon boarded the ship for San Francisco with "a realistic and truthful representation of those remarkable people and beautiful lands of Hawaii."
There had been some precedence for tourism promotion in 1892, in the Hawaii Bureau of Information. That effort fizzled, but when Hawaii became a territory, it drew adventuresome travelers in a tourism boom around the turn of the century. Hotels blossomed, including Waikiki's oldest surviving hostelry, the Moana Hotel, in 1901.
Then, according to published accounts, the tourists stopped coming--possibly because Honolulu was swept by bubonic plague in 1899 and 1900. There were reports that Los Angeles was anticipating a bumper crop of tourists for the winter of 1902. Competition had already begun. The plan was to persuade California visitors to go "a little farther" when they were out West, and see Hawaii, too.
The time was right! Due, in great part to the writings of men like Mark Twain and Robert Louis Stevenson, Weedon drew packed houses on the West Coast, and soon wrote back to the merchants: "At every point I go, I find people ready and eager to learn more of Hawaii." He urged them to provide, "some literature which may bear upon the advantages of our islands for rest and pleasure seekers..."
Hawaii had nothing to send, but efforts were already underway to launch systematic tourism advertising. On July 19, 1902, the Merchants Association proposed a permanent tourism promotion bureau. By 1903 a source of funding had been secured--a share of the voluntary tonnage tax shippers levied after the plague to rat-proof the docks and later to create a public health emergency fund and to promote business.
That same year, the first Territorial Legislature debated tourism promotion for the first time--and rejected the Joint Tourist Committee's request for $10,000. Then Governor Sanford Dole backed the chamber's plea for reconsideration and $15,000 was approved for what became the Hawaii Promotion Committee.
Before the year was out, the new Alexander Young Hotel opened downtown, with the new tourism office in it manned by Edward Boyd, and about 2,000 visitors came to enjoy Hawaii's version of paradise, after advertisements promising perpetual spring and romance appeared in national magazines.
An early vest-pocket map and guide described, Honolulu--What to See and How to See It. The guide, one of the promotional pieces distributed with the help of steamship and railway agencies, advised that if taxi fares seemed too high, visitors could collect a refund from the Tourist Bureau.
Another early pamphlet contained a bit of pithy prose from a speech by a talented California newspaper columnist, Mark Twain, correspondent for the Sacramento Union. Hawaii tourism promoters and others have used his lines time and again since then: "No alien land in all the world has any deep strong charm for me but that one; no other land could so longingly and beseechingly haunt me sleeping and waking..."
Hawaii, he wrote, is "the loveliest fleet of islands anchored in any ocean."
Over the decades, promotional efforts grew and so did the number of tourists. The tourism promotion agency acquired another new name, the Hawaii Tourist Bureau in 1919, a new executive secretary, George Armitage in 1920, and a new function of counting visitors (8,000) and rooms in 1921. The governor appointed four members to the bureau to represent all the major islands, and the agency had a vastly expanded budget ($100,000) in 1922.
Colorful community events were staged, usually involving flowers and parades. Entertainment flourished to keep the visitors occupied. Wonderfully wacky hapa-haole music was performed to ukulele and steel guitar. The tourist hula show was born, and instantly became controversial. The missionary families still considered the hula to be immoral, but the tourists loved it.
The Bureau took part in many promotional activities over the years, but the most enduring and successful was launched in 1935 as the radio program, Hawaii Calls. Originated, produced and narrated by Webley Edwards, it was broadcast for nearly four decades to the Mainland, Canada and Australia every Saturday, usually from the Moana Hotel's lanai on Waikiki Beach.
Listeners grew up with the sounds of Hawaii from that popular show and developed lifelong desires to see and hear the real thing.
In 1941, a record year, in which 31,846 visitors arrived, World War II brought an abrupt end to tourism in Hawaii. Three years later, the Chamber of Commerce began bringing it back to life with a Hawaii Travel Bureau, which concerned itself with leaving a friendly Territorial impression on the servicemen who were soon to go home.
In 1945, the Hawaii Visitors Bureau was launched. Major Mark Egan was named secretary, and a whole new era of Hawaii tourism promotion began.
A group of businessmen borrowed $20,000 and launched Aloha Week in 1947 to boost tourism in the otherwise slow fall season.
An important priority was to get the ocean liner Lurline back in the passenger business after her wartime duty. It cost Matson $19 million, but in the spring of 1948, with an exuberant welcome by some 150,000 people and an 80 vessel escort arranged by the HVB, she steamed into Honolulu Harbor to reclaim her title as "glamour girl of the Pacific."
In 1948, American President Lines resumed plying the Pacific and scheduled air service was inaugurated to Hawaii.
A long maritime strike in 1949 cut Hawaii tourism in half, to 25,000 visitors and the Legislature agreed to match private contributions to the tourism promotion budget. That made it a million-dollar proposition over two years: Advertising on the Mainland; transmitting and financing Hawaii Calls; special displays; Mainland offices; movies; publicity; literature; guides; warrior markers; music and hula to greet arriving ships and planes, and an HVB flower lei for every visitor!
Special people got special greetings. The Lurline herself got a steamship sized lei, 80 feet of orange crepe paper, during the 1948 reception. Actor Joe E. Brown (and his invisible rabbit co-star) came to play in Harvey in 1950 and was greeted by the HVB with a lei of carrots. In 1953, the HVB held a pretty face contest and selected hula dancer Mae Beimes as the first official HVB Poster Girl. Her sweet smile and proffered plumeria lei adorned a poster that is still a part of Hawaii history.
Beimes was succeeded later by Beverly Rivera Noa, and Rose Marie Alvaro, a dancer who posed for four posters, and followed by Liz Logue, Tracy Monsarrat and Zoe Ann Roach, they became Hawaii's best known representatives around the world.
Statehood in 1959 brought with it the arrival of the first jet service to Honolulu. Tourism exploded. Waikiki began to build up (and up). Sheer numbers eroded some of the personal touch like a lei greeting for every arriving visitor. But the Bureau hit the road. Hawaiian entertainers and promotion experts circled the globe to spread the Island word.
The HVB metamorphosed again in 1961, when it began doing business under contract to the State Department of Planning and Economic Development. Private contributions had slacked off--industry leaders were spending more on their own advertising--while government funding increased. The 50-50 funding became two-thirds state, and one-third private financing of HVB efforts.
In the mid 1960's, for the first time, advertisements circulated at home in Hawaii pointing out the benefits of tourism to the community.
At the same time other Pacific Rim nations were sending emissaries to the HVB to get the experts' advice and training on how to set up a tourism bureau. They included Australia, Canada, Tahiti, Fiji, Samoa, Taiwan, Korea and Alaska.
The HVB diversified to include a Meetings & Conventions department, and later a Visitor Services department.
Steadily during the 60's, 70's, and 80's the millions of tourists added up, and the HVB and Hawaii learned to cope with the problems of success. The yearly tourism total reached nearly seven million people in 1990.
1991 was the breakpoint year for Hawaii's visitor industry. The Gulf War raised fuel prices, detoured aircraft and decreased lift capacity to the Islands. Coupled with a downturn in both the U.S. and Japan economies, a drying up in overseas capital investment, and a reticence among eastbound visitors to come to the U.S. amidst threats of terrorism, arrivals and airline seats decreased through 1994.
During 1995 & 1996, the organization was shifted from a community/government model to a business model emphasizing public/private partnerships. The organization became leaner, more flexible and proactive. New goals, performance standards and accountability measures were established. New initiatives were conceived, but programs were still hindered by a budget that would never allow Hawaii to compete effectively with other destinations' investments.
The Japanese market grew steadily for the next three years, reaching its highest visitor count in 1997. But, the U.S. Mainland market was still relatively stagnant during this time.
In July 1996, the name was officially changed to the Hawaii Visitors and Convention Bureau, to reflect a new emphasis on business/meeting travel and a new responsibility for marketing the world class, state-of-the-art Hawaii Convention Center. The $350 million Center officially opened in June 1998 and represented the first significant tourism-related construction in over five years.
The nature of tourism promotion changed to keep pace with the rest of the world. The advertising programs that had sold Hawaii with pretty girls and palm trees began to stress the Islands' diversity, its Hawaiian culture and history, and the wide range of sports, activities, and cuisine. We began to appeal to a wider base of travelers who wanted more of what Hawaii really is.
While the competition has intensified, Hawaii remained one of the world's most desired destinations. Unsurpassed natural beauty, pristine physical environment, and diversity of islands, combined with our world-famous spirit of "aloha", continue to be an unbeatable product. Some things don't change all that much!
What did change were management, vision and politics.
By 1997, it was obvious to everyone, from the Governor and Legislature to the man on the street that if we wanted to compete on a global scale, Hawaii needed to stimulate structural & foundational changes. As James Michener once said, "Nothing that ever prospered on these islands ever did so without a struggle." The Governor convened the "ECONOMIC REVITALIZATION TASK FORCE (ERTF)." This unique coalition of community and government, counties and businesses established several key initiatives.
For tourism, Hawaii's number one economic driver and the catalyst for many inter-related industries, a special Tourism Bill was passed by the 1998 Legislature. It established the Hawaii Tourism Authority (HTA) with dedicated funding at a more globally competitive level. Its purpose is to create a strategic vision and direction for tourism and implement the key initiatives for sustainable, social and economic benefits for all of the Islands of Hawaii.
By 1999, dedicated funding was a reality and the HVCB was ready for the "new economy" challenges and opportunities. Our marketing mission is to create sustainable, diversified, global, leisure and business travel demand for all of these Islands of Aloha.
The Bureau is uniquely qualified to serve the people of Hawaii as a publicly supported, private corporation whose singular goal is to showcase and celebrate Hawaii's diversity and aloha to the world; to encourage people to reawaken their senses and rejuvenate their spirit in Hawaii; and to return again and again.
HVCB is a vanguard organization. It is dedicated to creating a new 'Gold Standard' for destination marketing, and its primary product is the world's most-desired destination. Hawaii, The Islands of Aloha.
