PM2: Never happen. Never.
Reference current DOI, etc., meetings and proposed conditions for "nation" building, under US law. In essence, "tribal status"; (caveat) as "Hawaiians" (kanaka maoli). (*No cute links, sorry. [
])
That's where this is going, despite the perceived valid argument of "show me the treaty", etc. Annexation? Did it happen or not? USA will NEVER admit (sans Clinton apology, Akaka Bill which was gutted, etc.), nor grant a "Reinstated Kingdom".
Now, on the international level, it's a different story, but still will NEVER happen. Some of us know the ramifications in "bucking the (USA) system", and try to maintain the basics of our culture within those confines.
Even Mother says, "We cannot turn back the hands of time. We can only move forward. However we do that as Hawaiians, we must maintain dignity and grace." E'O! (So thankful I can call upon her wisdom at 86 years old. Bless her and all of our Kupuna. Sorry, O/T.)
Now, when is DLNR/BLNR/Ige, et al, going to enforce these "emergency rules"? Clock is ticking, construction crews want to get to work, TMT investors must be huddled at the table to make some tough decisions.
May Akua (or whatever "God" these people in decision making positions worship or pray to) guide us towards resolution.

Aloha ahiahi, gypsy. Trust all is well. "Jojo" needs to be careful. His na'au is pure; however, he's young and full of vinegar, as it were. "Kapu aloha" is their stance, and needs to be maintained to be effective. Just saying. Sam Keliihoomalu is indeed holding Uncle Robert's place in the RHK. He is also a very good man. Ige doesn't know WTH to do, and Kenoi is a "lame duck" at this point. Sorry, JMO.
