6:22 pm
8093 and my country was invaded by the united states and we've been under an illegal and prolonged occupation ever since. i've dedicated my life to not only finding out why the united states invaded my country, but also how to bring the occupation to with hawaii was a long term american project. it began with religious missionaries. they left from boston in the 1820 to go to hawaii and lived there to spend the rest of their lives. civilizing the poor savages and barbarians, as we saw who lived in hawaii with this is yolanda palace here on the back row. this was the executive monarchs building hawaii by 18. 93 was already
6:23 pm
a constitutional monarchy. so it had 3 separate branches of government. it is here, legislative and judicial, which is across the street mm. with leader of these white hawaiian actually came to washington to win permission from the president of the united states to overthrow the government of the kingdom of hawaii. he received that permission. he went home, he organized a coup in which the hawaiian kingdom was overthrown. american marines were quickly landed to secure the new white government. and a few years later, hawaii became part of the united states. so this is the place
6:24 pm
that us marines landed on this road. here is where they marched from honolulu harbor and they occupied this location right here when they invaded my country, the hiking them. so we're at right now. this is where cap smith, this is headquarters for the pacific command. and it overlooks per harbor. and pro harbor is a naval base for the united states, so it falls under the command structure of the pacific command. ah, what you was taken by the united states were invaded in order for the united states to control per harbor. because of hawaii's location,
6:25 pm
it's central central in the central pacific. so there's a central location that ships enter. hawaii ports after disarming, refurbish, leave home ports, re arm, and go back fighting a metaphor who was engaged in b, y island by money, by greed. and so he with the lease and they represent all the things that was happening in 189 and 930. so what we see rising out of the land out of the ocean are these giant monsters that are asked to read with documentation of allocation of documentation that basically saying we're right is what we are. we're the inevitable truth. and there was also, again that the pi saying that from the newspapers that was being never
6:26 pm
huh. we've developed an unusual a point of view of the world because of our location. we have huge oceans in a couple of weak neighbors in mexico and canada. therefore, we've never had to have a foreign policy of clear co operation with others. we've been able because of our power to impose our will on others with what we hear of hello come on, a charter school high school level that we're going to be visiting both to share with you book stewart hoffman. kind of turn it over to you on your class. and so if you 40 feel like we already know,

6:28 pm
yes. ah, we are the evidence. oh, the nationalization where the evidence of the warcraft, we are not the war crimes ourselves. what are what you already is an independent country, all that was overthrown. anything 93? was our government by the united states, not our country. so our country is still an independent state, but we're not in control of our independence. we're occupied move. mm. this book over throw is an attempt to show the times that america over through foreign governments over a long period in the united states, at least in a relative sense,
