Fiji’s current judiciary seems completely oblivious to the deep contradictions of its own making which it continues to create. Having accommodated the “clean up coup” of December 5th 2006, the Fiji judiciary, along with the police and military, are now so corrupt through trying to protect themselves in perpetuity that all they can do is continue to make these silly ruling which try to enhance their own legitimacy – “cleaning up whoever doubts their legality”.
And so the targeting of the mass media is widened to include the Methodist Church and its brave office-bearers who will not bow to this Annual conference ban. Why should a church become subservient to a public decree that is born of a psychotic fear from a military that has lost its way and enforce its own nightmare on its own people?
This provocation by the Military and the Police, now confirmed by silly judicial rulings in the courts, simply confirms that the illegal regime are spoiling for a fight with those who stand against it. That is the pre-eminent “incitement” at work in this case. The threat to further unjust dis-order does not come from the justice seeking paramount chief Ro Teimumu Kepa but comes from:
1. the discredited Commodore and his hapless crew of senior officers who refuse to see the writing on the wall and stand against this ridiculous and foolish “state of emergency”;
2. the Miliary Police which is trying to drum up its own Christian crusade to legitimise itself and
3. the judiciary that is bent on trying to bury its own failure to accept its constitutional limits and instead apply a concocted “law” to limit freedom of speech, association and assembly.
One wonders how long this psychosis can last.
