Peaceful Freedom: Malta & Hawai'i?

The highly-strategic Mediterranean islands of Malta were repeatedly occupied by outside forces over thousands of years. Recent transitions were from a British colony, to an independent Commonwealth state, to an independent Republic from 1974 (with British forces still resident). But renegotiated lease agreements at much higher rents led to British military withdrawal in 1979. I enjoyed 31^st March 2016 "Freedom Day" in Malta, and dream Hawai'i finds a similar peaceful path to self-government. The US military, perched on confiscated Hawaiian lands, can't justify or properly pay for their half-dozen military golf courses on O'ahu. Hearty goodbye with Aloha.

RIP Bill Burgess

H. William Burgess, an inveterate proponent of Yankee Occupation & Land Grab (YOLG) in Hawaii, died of natural causes 16 March 2016 in Honolulu.

It's a testament to non-violence and the Aloha Spirit that Burgess, who consistently ridiculed Native Hawaiian inheritance rights & indigenous efforts for self-government, could live out his days peacefully to age 85 in beautiful Hawaii.   Rest in Peace Bill.

Rigged Elections USA

There's no excuse that prospective voters must stand waiting in line for hours. It's not rocket science for states to build proper voter lists.

Americans are deliberately being disenfranchised.

This situation is beyond party politics, and it STINKS. Democrat, Republican, or otherwise, look clearly at the USA -- it's NOT democracy, it's an enslaved society.

"Obama & Castro Spar Over Human Rights"

US President Barack Obama is making important efforts this week to normalize relations with Cuba.

Under the heading of human rights issues, The BBC highlighted the historic Presidential news conference where Cuban President Raul Castro scolded the USA: 

"We find it inconceivable your government does not defend and ensure the right to healthcare, education, social security, food provision & development."  

Bravo! 

"Numba one, Numba one, USA, USA!"
