There are enough resources in Hawaii to survive a peaceful, orderly withdrawal of the U.S. occupation. The Kingdom of Hawaii still exists and has either original or successor treaty relationships with 173 out of the 193 Member States of the United Nations. To name a few: Germany, Great Britain, Denmark, Japan, Samoa, Russia, China, Siam and The Netherlands. Subjects of the Hawaiian Kingdom like Keanu Sai and Lance Larsen have already been working at the U.N. to gain international support and recognition: complaints against the U.S. have been filed with the United Nations Secretary General, the Security Council, the President of the General Assembly, as well as various UN commissions, agencies and bodies such as the Human Rights Committee, the Human Rights Council, the Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, and the Office of High Commissioner on Human Rights. Petitions were recently filed with the UN Fourth Committee and the Committee of 24.
As for domestic actions, there are a few which come to mind. First of all, all actions taken after January 17 1893 that are contrary to Hawaiian Kingdom laws, be they statutes, resolutions, land titles, court rulings etc. are invalid as they were produced under false premises in unlawful jurisdictions, by dishonest persons bent on perpetrating fraud. The United States has no sovereignty within the borders of the Hawaiian Kingdom: all of the 49 United States have a treaty of cession, while Hawaii does not (for Texas, see the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo). There is no valid precedent for annexation or statehood of a sovereign state without a treaty of cession and thus the occupation of the Hawaiian Kingdom can easily be interpreted as unconstitutional. Ex injura jus non oritur: unjust acts cannot create lawful ones. Some families have already gotten wise to this and have used land titles dating back to the Great Mahele to occupy lands which currently are fraudulently being bought and sold by the State of Hawaii, and other beneficiaries of U.S. imperialism.
As the Kingdom of Hawaii is an occupied nation, it still retains sovereignty over its territory and thus the application of U.S. law or "State of Hawaii" law is illegal. Think of Iraq's illegal occupation of Kuwait, or Russia's illegal occupation of Crimea. At some point the U.S. and the State of Hawaii are going to have to return the people they have incarcerated back to the Hawaiian Kingdom from which they were taken. I know at least one lawyer who is currently working on this. Things like driving a vehicle, opening a bank account, or purchasing a home are almost impossible for Hawaiian Kingdom subjects, yet foreign nationals are allowed and often heavily encouraged to do such things, through policies such as the EB-5 investment program.
The Hawaiian Kingdom is free to trade with whomever it pleases in whatever way it sees fit. The United States prohibits foreign ships from unloading cargo in Hawaii, and requires them to stop in California for inspection artificially inflating the cost of imported goods.
This stuff goes on and on and I haven't even touched on the movements currently happening within the U.S. systems to get more freedom without ending the occupation.
Anyways, I'm still curious what you mean by "we just abandon the state?" What would that entail and how would it be detrimental to Hawaii?
