From Kingdom of Hawai’i Blog… Ali`i Nui Mō`ī Edmund K. Silva, Jr., 3-29-15… “King’s Message about the Moloka’i Case”"

This letter was recently posted at the Kingdom of Hawai’i blog. I feel this response is appropriate from one who is trying to be a true leader, with substance, who knows and speaks the complete truth, in contrast to someone who “bangs the drum of ‘the Kingdom exists’ loudly”, with a lack 3D reality behind it.
This is related to these posts from the Kp blog: 1, 2.
Highlights below are mine.

“It is my kuleana that we do not need to deceive or manipulate truth, which we trust with faith in our work and vision for a free Hawai’i. This is the only way we endear the people to our cause. This was the kuleana of our ancestors and therefore it is mine and it should be yours as well…
“Based on that characterization by Mr. Kaiama and Dr. Sai, there are numerous Internet postings celebrating this supposed victory for the Kingdom. Unfortunately, Mr. Kaiama and Dr. Sai have not accurately reported to the people what happened in the case. Their characterization of the ruling is misleading.
“As King, part of my responsibility is to protect the people from manipulation by those seeking to falsify the truth for their own glorification. The explanation offered below is to protect the people from being misled by providing a deeper perspective into what actually happened. The foundation of our restored nation will have a puka [hole], if we fail to squarely acknowledge the truth and reject what is false.
“If the court intended to rule that the Kingdom still exists – a ruling with profound consequences for the entire legal system now in place – the court would have expressly made that ruling. The idea that accepting one document slipped into a stack being submitted for judicial notice constitutes such a momentous ruling is not credible. The court did not make such a ruling and, instead, entered a ruling denying the motion that was based on the court rejecting the continued existence argument… To conclude that the judge ruled that the Kingdom still exists is either delusional or deceptive.
“At the same time, the State judge is a highly experienced and capable judge. For him to have allowed the inclusion of Dr. Sai’s testimony and including Dr. Sai’s paper in granting the request to take judicial notice may indicate that the occupying power is crumbling from within. If the case is ultimately lost by the defendants and appealed, the record will include the well developed case for concluding that the Kingdom still exists…”
