Honest Government Ad: Visit Hawai'i!

The US Government made a tourism ad for Hawai'i, and it's surprisingly honest and informative.

I had the opportunity to visit Hawai'i at the start of the month and talk with local and native Hawaiians. They all said the biggest problem they face is the fact that so few people are aware of the history of US military occupation. So on my return to Australia, I decided to make a video about it.

In the Americas - the eastern coast of NA, the islands of the Caribbean, the north of SA. Then their tentacles extended inwards bringing death and disease.

Same in Africa. Same in Asia.

When white people (men) rape and plunder it's called exploration, "opening the continent."

The Juice Media does an excellent job at getting that point across in a short time. I highly recommend their channel on YT.

It is global, actually. For instance the USA did nothing to help East Timor, and on and on.

It may be uncomfortable to know about the mass degrees of exploitation and skullduggery, plus the coverups, but right now, we best consider that when it comes down to what happens to us here. There is nothing that says that what those videos indicate will not or cannot be internalized under certain circumstances.

At least we might vote this threat out. However, let's keep in mind the underlying forces of the PTB when we VOTE and speak out.
