37: Martial Law in Hawaii

(WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE) At 10:27PM on December 3, 2024, South Korea's President Yoon Suk Yeol went live on television while his country was sleeping to declare martial law. His country fought back. After all was said and done, Yoon's martial law proclamation lasted only 6 and a half hours.

Hawaii's lasted three years.

Internment camps, forced labor, military tribunals, and a pause on all constitutional and due process liberties. Curfews, blackouts, barbed wire covering the beaches. Death penalties and forced blood donations. Thousands of Japanese residents were rounded up and put behind barbed wire, while every Hawaiian was forced to live under total, merciless military control.

"It's too expensive to ship them somewhere," U.S. Secretary of Navy Frank Knox remarked. "Just make the islands an internment camp."

This is Duncan v. Kahanamoku (1946).
