On January 16, 1893, four boatloads of United States Marines armed with Gatling guns and hundreds of rounds of ammunition came ashore in Honolulu, capital of the independent Kingdom of Hawaii. As the ...
“Those who don't know history are destined to repeat it.” Edmund Burke quotes
'The events which transpired five thousand years ago; Five years ago or five minutes ago, have determined what will happen five minutes from now; five years From now or five thousand years from now. All history is a current event.' Dr. John Henrik Clarke
Wearing the mask of evangelism and the Bible as an instrument to deception, they ravaged our mother land beyond repair.
'When the missionaries came to Africa, they had the Bible and we had the land. They taught us to pray with our eyes closed. When we opened them, we had the Bible in our hand, and they had the land.' – Jomo Kenyatta, fist president of Kenya.
'When my father arrived in Kenya, he had found the Kikuyu way of life similar to that of the British at the time the Romans invaded England 2,000 years ago.' – Famous British-Kenyan archaeologist Louis Leakey.
Africa - A Time Of Trouble - The Coming Of The Europeans -Dr.John Henrik
Dr.John Henrik Clarke Quote: First place you have to deal with, something, and one of the great myths in human history,and that is the myth of the invader as civilizer and conquer' no people ever conquered ,invaded any people for the sake of civilizing them! this is true even true when blacks are invading blacks' this is true across the board. this is true every time in history. I still maintain that the invader always does more harm then good.
What followed, in 1893, was the overthrow of the hereditary monarchy of Hawaii, of Queen Lili'uokalani, an unfamiliar story to most Americans today. In Hawaii, however, the subject is anything but old hat and interpretations of what actually happened differ sharply, depending on who's telling the story.
Just over a century ago, there was an isolated kingdom called Hawaii--an independent nation, with a parliament, its own flag, a national anthem, and a beloved queen, Lili'uokalani. But in 1893, she was removed from her throne--with the help of the United States Marines. It was a great loss to her people.
When Lili'uokalani was born in 1838, the chanting lasted for days. It was the way to herald new arrivals among the ali'i, the high chiefs of the islands. But by this time, many of the old ways had already vanished. The greatest change had been brought by a small group of congregationalist missionaries from New England who had landed in the islands almost twenty years earlier. It would be their grandchildren who would one day--overthrow the queen.
By the time Lili'uokalani was born, a third of the Hawaiians were Christian, nudity was banned, the hula outlawed. The missionaries had developed a written Hawaiian language and taught virtually the entire adult population to read and write. More and more Hawaiians were accepting western ways.
Lili'uokalani was descended from generations of chiefs, revered by the Hawaiians as gods. She had been educated by Americans. A poet and composer, she dined at the White House, was a guest at Buckingham Palace. But nothing had prepared her for the crisis she would face as queen.
Liliu was well versed in Hawaiian, well versed in the western culture, and knew the values of both sides. Knew the inevitable of what was going to happen to Hawaii.
