America At War With Itself ...Greg Palast article Posted October 1, 2025

Mom would’ve kicked Pete Hegseth’s a** by Greg Palast for Raw Story October 1, 2025 On Tuesday, our newly-dubbed “Secretary of War” Pete Hegseth told our military’s top brass that they must restore the “male warrior spirit” to the armed forces. “Male” spirit, Pete? Excuse me, Pete. My mother, Gladys Palast, was honored by President Bill Clinton as the very first woman who volunteered for the US Coast Guard after the attack on Pearl Harbor. Let me tell you, Little Petie, Mom was a WARRIOR. Gil and Gladys Palast in uniform at their wedding 1943. Dad fought in the Philippines. How DARE you insult my mother’s courage and initiative and then introduce General Bone Spurs Trump as the guy “who has your back.” Hmmm. Trump got out of the war in Vietnam by claiming he had a bone spur in one foot — but he can’t remember which one. And let’s not forget, on the day after his second inauguration, Trump fired Adm. Linda Fagan as Commandant of the Coast Guard for no visible reason other than she has a vagina. Trump is lucky that Mom ain’t around anymore, because I know she’d go back to the White House to kick his ass and show him what a woman warrior can do. And also, just one day after the inauguration, he fired Gen. Charles Q. Brown, a 4-star general, Chair of Joint Chiefs of Staff, a pilot with 130 hours of combat flights in an F-16, for no other visible reason other than Brown is, well … brown. Brown was replaced, for the first time in US history, by a guy who never even attained the rank of general. Dan Caine is a flunky who flattered Agent Orange when he visited Iraq during his first term. Before taking charge of America’s military, Caine was a Wall Street speculator. Maybe, if the market drops again, Trump will award Caine a purple heart. Trump said he was moved to appoint Caine because of his nickname, “Razin’ Caine.” Actually, his nickname is properly written, ”Raisin Caine,” because he was retired and dried up. That’s OK, because Trump doesn’t use our military to confront bad guys. The military’s new mission is to harass Democratic mayors because TACO Trump always folds and crumbles into pieces when an enemy bites. Vladimir Putin is still living in the glow of the Lewinsky he got from Trump in Alaska, and China boasts about invading Taiwan. Putin and Xi Jinping don’t think that Trump is a paper tiger. They’ve tagged him as a paper three-toed sloth. To be old, un-gifted and fat Hegseth called together all the top brass in the military to boost his side gig as a Jenny Craig Weight Loss Program salesman. He used the term “fat” three times. The generals and admirals, many of whom were ordered to fly thousands of miles to this PR dog-and-pony show, were forced to listen to their Secretary say: “It’s completely unacceptable to see fat generals and admirals in the halls of the Pentagon and leading commands around the country and the world. It’s a bad look.“ A bad look? Has Hegseth ever looked at our Commander-in-Chief, the bloviating porcine bigot in a red tie? Mom could have taken General Bone Spurs to the mat. (I am strictly non-partisan, but Mom wasn’t. Here’s a photo of her, two days before she passed away at 97, smiling in her “Impeach Trump” T-shirt.) Gladys Palast, 97. Our enemies must be laughing their keisters off knowing that our commanders were pulled out of the field to hear Hegseth commanding them to get a shave. “No more beard-os,” said our Secretary of War. (Though I do applaud his physically attacking JD Vance with a razor … OK, I made that up.) Declaration of War — on America The most pathetic moment of Trump’s speech was at the beginning when he complained that he did not get applause from the generals upon his entry. Instead of the applause he was begging for, he got sly laughter. Then Trump turned on his threat machine. “Don’t laugh! Don’t laugh! You’re not allowed to do that! … If you don’t like what I’m saying you can leave the room. Of course, there goes your rank, there goes your future.” Still no applause but some nervous laughter. This is, after all, their Commander-in-Chief and he’s punished dissent and competence with not only firing but physical threats. After 4-Star Gen. Mark Milley retired as head of the Joint Chiefs, Trump removed Milley’s security detail. It’s only been a month since Trump and Hegseth canned Lt. Gen. Jeffrey Kruse as Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency after they caught him telling the truth. (Trump has re-named it the Defense Stupidity Agency … OK, I made that up as well.) But while the Hegseth and Trump speeches seemed to have been drafted by Groucho Marx, I have to agree with Trump: “Don’t laugh.” His speech was, effectively, a declaration of war on Americans, specifically, “inner cities” — the oldest trope for Black Americans — “which we’re going to be talking about because it’s a big part of war now. It’s a big part of war.” WAR??? The generals didn’t miss the point: they were dragged back to the States because their Commander is telling them that the real enemy is America itself, “the enemy within,” a chilling phrase he borrowed from his mentor, Roy Cohn, the Grand Inquisitor of the McCarthy era of political terror. Scarier still, Trump is bringing back McCarthyism with a bullet. Literally. He said, “I told Pete we should use some of these dangerous cities as training grounds for our military.” American citizens will now be target practice. Think I’m kidding? It’s begun. Just this week, a member of our team was observing a demonstration in a Chicago suburb in front of a new ICE detention center. The demonstrators were outside a fence, protesting peacefully, when, according to our reporter, federal agents on the roof, utterly unprovoked, started firing pepper balls. How soon before some kid, trained as a soldier, not a cop, will fire real bullets after a “provocation”? Protesters in front of the Broadview ICE Processing Facility, Illinois, just before the agents (on roof) began firing pepper balls at the demonstrators. (Photo: Patrice Gallagher for the Palast Investigative Fund, 2025.) Trump’s hauling generals to his goofy confab can be put down as a ridiculous publicity stunt. But this stunt was scheduled only days after Trump issued National Security Presidential Memorandum 7 (NSPM-7) directing the full force of the federal government to go after those who show “hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on family, religion, and morality.” We have located the enemy, and it is … Portland. For all the stifled laughter, the military understood the grim order: their next war will be against America.

Who Are the REAL John Young/Olohana's Family(ies)?  and....Who Are the Treasonous Ones?

                                                                                 compiled by Amelia Gora, one of John Young's,

                                                                                 Isaac Davis descendants/heirs  (2012)

Let us review who the REAL descendants of John Young/Olohana including Isaac Davis:

Died	December 17, 1835 (aged 91) Honolulu, Oahu
Burial	Royal Mausoleum of Hawaii

A problem with this story is that She married John Young as his second wife in 1805. Young married Namokuelua prior to her, and more than 18 years lapsed between Young's arrival and Kaʻōanaʻeha's marriage.

She defied the Christianity of her husband, and was similar to Princess Ruth Keʻelikōlani in turning down Western ways. For example, after Young died in 1835 she took as her new name Mele Kuamoʻo, after the battle of Kuamoʻo where her brother Kekuaokalani, defender of the kapu system, was killed leading the rebel forces against those of Kamehameha II in 1819.

After Nakai died in the ukuʻu plague, Davis married Kalukuna,^[4] a relative of Kamehameha, in Honolulu, and founded a prominent family in the islands. They had two children. His son George Hueu Davis was born on January 10, 1800. His daughter Elizabeth "Betty" Peke Davis was born on February 12, 1803. His son married Kahaanapilo Papa and had three sons; among them was Isaac Young Davis who was the second husband of Princess Ruth Keʻelikōlani.

Queen Emma's ancestors included John Young. Kawaihae 2ahupua‘a went to her estate in the Mahele. Hawai‘i State Archives photogragh by Brigham, 1889.   “Hawaiians were ruled by the ali‘i,” Billy explains, “and his kuhina nui was the overseer for the ali‘i in the various areas. So a Hawaiian didn’t own any of his own property, he just lived on the chief’s land. And it wasn’t until King Kamehameha III and King Kamehameha IV started the Mahele that lands became available to the commoner. Before that, the commoner had nothing. “With the Mahele, I think Kamehameha III had the good intent to get the land into the hands of the maka‘aianana, the commoners who lived on the land. But they weren’t schooled properly so they didn’t have proper surveys done, so many didn’t get patents from the Land Commission. As a result, lands were improperly recorded, and they didn’t really have ownership of the place."   “The total fourteen kuleana awardees in the ahupua‘a do not reflect the total population of Kawaihae,” Chiogioji & Hammatt agree (1997: 22): ‘They probably represent the local elite, those who could afford the survey and commutation [that were part of the award procedure], had the proper authority for permanent occupancy, had reputable witnesses to sustain both the authority [to occupy] and continuous use [of the parcel], and who chose to apply’ (Apple 1978: 62, cited in Chiogioji & Hammatt 1997: 22). “Many people watched for these lands that they knew they were not patented,” Billypoints out, "and any time they saw such lands, they’d start paying taxes on them, and they went in and grabbed them. So the Hawaiians were duped out of a lot of land, in more ways than one. It’s sad."   Wright's 1914 map of Kawaihae shows the boundaries of the numbered Land Commission Award (L.C.A.) from the Mahele, as well as other structures. Click here to open the entire 1914 map in a separate window (408 Kb).   Grave of George W. Macy at Kawaihae. Macy was a ship captain and business partner with James Louzada. The two purchased 250 acres in the adjacent Lalamilo ahupua‘a, to (unsuccessfully) run a commercial plantation. Macy's grave formerly included a large white obelisk, visible from the sea and a marker to sailors.   “But it also made it possible for people like my great-grandfather William Johnson and other caucasians to purchase land also. However, he wouldn’t have been able to get as much land if it hadn’t been for his wife who was descended from ali‘i, and from Isaac Davis. It was two-way. So they were treated favorably. Just like John Palmer Parker who married to Princess Kipikane, he was able to get a lot. “Maybe some of those guys married with the thought in mind, ‘Hey, if I get that one she’ll be useful to me.’ Ha ha! "I’m thankful that the women in my family, the generation above my father, were strong women. They believed in theahupua‘a. They believed in hanging onto these lands. That’s why these lands still go right up to the mountain.

"The shoreline of Kawaihae Hikina, dominated by the presence of the two heiau, may have been an enclave reserved for residences of the ali‘i and their retainers—as it was for Ka‘oana‘eha and the konohiki Puna in the 1840s. " "In contrast, to the north at the Kawaihae Komohana shoreline, the maka‘ainana (commoners) would have lived and worked amidst the salt pans, and, likely, the ‘excellent’ canoe houses that George Vancouver observed in 1792. The two claims for mauka awards of cultivated land in Kawaihae Hikina may be the surviving remnants of a once much larger, agriculture-based, upland settlement in the ahupua‘a” (Chiogioji & Hammatt 1997: 25).   “Although there were many Hawaiiansliving in Kawaihae Uka about 1850,"Langlas writes, "there were almost nomahele awards made there. Hawaiians continued to live there after the maheleprobably as tenants of the ahupua‘aowners. The eventual disappearance of Hawaiians from Kawaihae Uka is related partly to its land history. Kawaihae 2 went to Keoni Ana [John Young's heir] in themahele and subsequently was inherited by his niece Queen Emma. "Two small houselot awards were made inmauka Kawaihe 2 in the mahele, but the properties have been taken over by the Queen Emma Foundation today as part of their larger property. No Hawaiians have family land there anymore." Click here for a map of the Land Commision Awards in Kawaihae Uka.   Keoni Ana (John Young II), 1810-1857. Bishop Museum Photograph. Apart from limited claims in the uplands and at the shore, the two Kawaihae ahupua‘a went to the Crown (and later Hawaiian Homelands) and to the estate of Queen Emma, who descended from John Young.   “Kawaihae 1 went to the crown in themahele. There was only one mahele award made there. The land of Keawewai (520 acres) went to the white settler Lorenzo B. Lincoln. Lincoln had been given the land by Governor Kuakini in 1839 for his services to Kuakini in tanning the hides of the cattle which were running wild in Waimea. “The crown land of Kawaihae 1 became Government land after Hawai‘i was annexed by the U.S. and it was given to the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands (DHHL) after the 1920 Hawaiian Homes Act, for homestead leases to Hawaiians. Since then, the great bulk of Kawaihae 1 (except for Keawewai and the land at Kawaihae Bay) had been leased to Kahua Ranch for running cattle” (Langlas 1994: 18). The lower portion has recently been developed as house lots for Hawaiians.     Grave of George Hueu Davis, son of Isaac Davis, at Kawaihae. In the Mahele, Davis was given the entire ahupua‘a of Waikoloa, the largest ahupua‘a in South Kohala.   “Codified in Kingdom law were provisions such that tenants and landlords were directed to have duly respectful relationships with one another," Hannah points out. "Landlords were not to abuse their tenants, and tenants were to maintain good behavior on their lands. I think that through the Kingdom period, the traditional landlord-tenant relationship was preserved. "This is of course is what’s still being argued in the courts of the State of Hawai‘i: What are traditional and customary rights? What rights do tenants have? How do those provisions for rights accruing to tenants become practiced today when resources have been depleted, and maybe tenants from one ahupua‘a no longer have resources that are found in other ahupua‘a? Is it then permissible to go to other ahupua‘a to extract or utilize those resources?"     The legacy of the Mahele certainly transformed the fabric of the islands ever since. For the rest of the 19th century and on, private ownership of would affect population and society in Kawaihae.     Explorers |  Missionaries |  Mahele |  Society |  Aftermath |  Language |  Sources & Links Arrival |  A Native Place |  The Sea |  The Land |  Footprints |  Visitors |  Memories |  Onwards
