A New Year In Iraq (3 of 3)/131a.jpg

If you are wondering why the Hawaiian flag has the Union Jack on it;

The "British Empire" formally recognized the Hawaiian Kingdom as a sovereign nation in the mid 1800's; and it went one step further to invite Hawaii to be a protectorate. Well the Hawaiian Government accepted the offer and from that day forward the Hawaiian flag was authorized to fly with the Union Jack just as it does with say many other nations. And than of course the British Government soon shamed itself (what's new) by doing fuck all to support the Hawaiian Kingdom when the United States 'conspired to overthrow' the 'legitimate and lawful Hawaiian Government' in 1893. It did nothing to "Protect" Hawaii when it was admittedly 'Annexed' against the will of virtually all Hawaiian's in 1898.

The bottom line is that Britain has done zero to honour it's obligations to protect the sovereignty of the Hawaiian Nation. But I think it is cool how the Union Jack can still be there, because the Brit's could not possibly rationalize it's removal without shining a glaring light on it's blatant hypocrisy and corruption.
