We are not to be merely saddened and resigned to a perpetual cycle of waste, exploitation, destruction and oppression done by one to another ~ nor do we live with self torment and pity ~ rather the message is that we must rise together in reconciliation and  occupy our full intelligence, gifts and heart ~ perhaps in a newness unimagined, yet nevertheless, demanded of us.

Now, this morning in Hawaiʻi, as the rain lightly falls in Honolulu, 11-11-11 is profound.

As global corporate CEOs rail our supposed heads of state to the closed-door APEC table in Oahu some local people, having regard to truth and justice, will assemble in remembrance of a dearly beloved queen ~ Queen Liliʻuokalani. Please come and join with Kanaka Moli.

The queen died on November 11, 1917 having endured her own ouster and imprisonment by a conspiracy of white male businessmen and the illegal mockery of Annexation done by U.S.A. President McKinley in 1898. The overthrow was criminal; President Bill Clinton apologized for that in Public Law 103-150 in 1993. And Annexation is a flawed in every respect and Hawaii`s statehood, economy and ecology stand on this house of cards.

People will assemble at 5:00 pm at the Kahi Hali`a Aloha burial mound in Waikiki, corner of Kalakaua and Kapahulu Avenues (zoo entrance and Gandhi statue).
