FRANK THE FALL IS GOING TO BE HARDER,NASTIER AND MESSIER then the rise!

It's so laugable to think that this is what Voreqe and his illegal ministers label "democracy".

The pea-brained lot just don't seem to see that their actions continually expose them to be the

COWARDS (No one will challenge this decree in a court of alw, etc etc)

and

LIARS (Decree will be brought upong on who will "bring hatred or contempt or disaffection against the government or any institution or authority of the government"…Hello!!! Voreqe that's exactly what you did when you stole our government's leadership and then abrogated our Constituition)

they are!

But at least we can be rest assured that the FALL IS GOING TO BE HARDER, NASTIER AND MESSIER than the rise! That the effects is going to be paid on his grandchildren and descendants to come. Ya!

WHAT WILL BE NEXT FRANK BAINIMARAMA?

These decrees clearly show where we are: In a dictatorship of the common variety. After his abrogation of the constitution last year Cassava Franks actions have been utterly consistent with those of any other tin pot dictator presiding over an opera state. Even the most gullible have in the meantime received the message loud and clear: If you are a judge trying to do your job to be independent, you get sacked for disobedience. If you dare to voice an opinion in the media you will be gagged. If you contemplate opposition you will be suppressed by tactics seen in Zimbabwe, Iran, Myanmar or China. If you are on a government pension and critizise the dictator well there is no food on the table of your familiy. And Driti, one of his stooges and major coup beneficiary has announced that in 2010 the military will even come down harder on anyone who disagrees. While still postulating his determination to fight against corruption he has used the anticorruption bureaucracy established by him to harass regime critics such as human rights lawyer Jalal. Banimarama at the same time has committed nepotism and corruption at a scale unseen in Fiji by giving posts, power and money to cronies and yes-creeps.

Cassava Frank sometimes whines that he is misunderstood by the Western world and other Pacific leaders and demands that more notice must be taken of the underlying issues of racism corruption and the need to fight terrorism all of which he names in attempting to justify his coup. While the terrorism claim he made in a speech at the UN was dismissed as right out laughable and he has in the meantime refrained from uttering this nonsense, the other issues were – at least initially- seen by the outside world as worth a consideration. Unfortunately for Cassava Frank, there are still records intact that clearly suggest that his coup coincided with a closing in of investigators on this involvement in the brutal murder of soldiers in 2000. Most people in Fiji believe that his ulterior motives for his coup were not democracy but were self-preservation and the temptations of the absolute power he now holds. In the context of the history of dictatorships that makes a lot more sense than fighting for freedom and democracy through brutal oppression of any dissent.

What will be next? What about a total travel ban on anybody, the style the Eastern Block dictators used to avoid that their people see how a democracy works? Or a mandatory 'praise the dictator' at the beginning of every school day, North Korea style? Switching off the internet would hurt a few private enterprises in Fiji, but they hurt anyway as with all the power Cassava Frank holds he failed to do anything about a collapsing economy.

 

THE PRESIDENT OF FIJI WAS PUNCHED AND ROBBED AT AN ATM IN SUVA

 Story going around the Suva corridor on how the President of Fiji Epeli Naulukau was recently robbed at an ATM after a random passerby punched him in the face! He was being his wanna be macho self strolling around Suva streets minus body guards when the incident occurred !! Of course the news has been suppressed and heavily censored to protect his stupidity and low down image by the illegal regime. Pse investigate this story and publish for the world to see their lolovira ness and how they certainly dont deserve to be in such high office because after all he is not a Fijian but a fokisi from Tonga!!!!

Fiji’s Dictator is hoping for Leweni to be working from New Zealand

In a move that is bound to ruffle feathers in the New Zealand government, the junta has applied to have Lieutenant Colonel Neumi Leweni working from Wellington.

Leweni played a major role in the country's 2006 coup and has been responsible for censoring local media, deporting Australian and New Zealand journalists and curbing free speech.

He, like others directly connected to the country's regime, is banned from even travelling to New Zealand or Australia.

But the Fiji government hopes to have him officially installed in a counselling post in Wellington under a new arrangement to boost diplomatic ties between the two countries.

New Zealand's foreign minister Murray McCully offered the extra posting earlier this month as an olive branch to mend regional relations and help return Fiji to democracy earlier than the 2014 election date set by leader Commodore Voreqe Bainimarama.

Nomination 'yet to be confirmed'

The self-appointed prime minister has broken several promises to go to the polls since staging a December 2006 coup.

Bainimarama's office told the Fiji Village website it had nominated Leweni for the job, while Leweni himself says his nomination is yet to be confirmed.

Fiji government sources confirmed to Fairfax New Zealand that Leweni's name had been put forward.

Bainimarama did not confirm the name on Auckland's Radio Tarana on Thursday but said he was awaiting New Zealand's response on the posting.

"We are extremely pleased that the New Zealand government is taking a step forward in redeeming our diplomatic relations," he told the station.

"We have submitted our nominee for the position for counsellor as agreed to in our initial meeting between our two foreign ministers.

"New Zealand is yet to respond on this."

THERE IS GOING TO BE A COUP AT THE FIJI RUGBY UNION HEADQUARTERS

 

January 19, 2010 by Free Fiji

Filipe Tuisawau has been fired from USP in his capacity as the Deputy Director of Human Resources for gross negligence of duties and insubordination. This is also the same bloke that got fired from Air Terminal Services for incompetence and overspending his budget, whereby
leaning towards embezzlement charges. He ran away to USP to dodge being fired and investigated by the current regime.

Our sources in the PM's office have sighted and overheard him making recommendations to Frank for the restructuring of FRU to make him the new boss of our rugby fraternity.

Explosive exchanges are expected at the FRU's next AGM at the end of the month. Where he will use the REWA rugby union(the most minute rugby union in the COUNTRY) as his vehicle where he will lobby for changes to the FRU constitution to suit Frank and his greedy and sly motives.HEADQUARTERS

Birds of the same feather flock together.

Cunning and sly idiots.

REVELATION 13 REVISITED

 

It seems that every time someone such as myself attempts to encourage our Fijian people to resist anunconstitutional or otherwise reprehensible, and oppressive government, we hear the retort, "What about Romans Chapter 13? We Christians must submit to government. Any government. Read your Bible, and leave me alone." Or words to that effect.

 

No doubt, some who use this argument are sincere. They are only repeating what they have heard their pastor and other religious leaders say. On the other hand, let's be honest enough to admit that some who use this argument are just plain lazy, apathetic, and indifferent. They want an easy way out.And Romans 13 is their escape from responsibility. I suspect this is the much larger group, by the way.Nevertheless, for the benefit of those who are sincere (but obviously misinformed), let's briefly examine Romans Chapter 13. I quote Romans Chapter 13, verses 1 through 7, from the Authorized King James text:

"Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same: For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil. Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake. For this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing. Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour."

 

Do our Christian friends who use these verses to teach that we should not oppose Fiji's illegal regime and leaders really believe that those who have appointed themselves to lord over the people have unlimited authority to do anything they want without opposition? I doubt whether they truly believe that. For example, what if our President decided to resurrect the old monarchal custom of Jus Primae Noctis (Law of First Night)? That was the old medieval custom when the king claimed the right to sleep with a subject's bride on the first night of their marriage. Would our sincere Christian brethren sheepishly say, "Romans Chapter 13 says we must submit to the government"? I think not. And would any of us respect any man who would submit to such a law?

 

Limits of authority So, there are limits to authority. A father has authority in his home, but does this give him power to abuse his wife and children? Of course not. An employer has authority on the job, but does this give him power to control the private lives of his employees? No. A pastor has overseer authority in the church, but does this give him power to tell employers in his church how to run their businesses? Of course not. All human authority is limited in nature. No man has unlimited authority over the lives of other men. (Lordship and Sovereignty is the exclusive domain of Jesus Christ.)

 

By the same token, a civil magistrate has authority in civil matters, but his authority is limited and defined. Observe that Romans Chapter 13 clearly limits the authority of civil government by strictly defining its purpose:

"For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil . . . For he is the minister of God to thee for good . .. for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil."

Notice that civil government must not be a "terror to good works." It has no power or authority to terrorize good works or good people.It cannot terrorise the people. God never gave it that authority. And any government that oversteps that divine boundary has no divine authority or protection. This is a basic principle of Natural Law (and all of Fiji's legal documents--including the Fiji Constitution--are founded upon the God-ordained principles of  Natural Law).

 

The apostle clearly states that civil government is a "minister of God to thee for good." It is a not a minister of God for evil. Civil magistrates have a divine duty to "execute wrath upon him that doeth evil." They have no authority to execute wrath upon him that doeth good. None. Zilch. Zero. And anyone who says they do is lying. So, even in the midst of telling Christians to submit to civil authority, Romans Chapter 13 limits the power and reach of civil authority.

 

Did Moses violate God's principle of submission to authority when he killed the Egyptian taskmaster in defense of his fellow Hebrew? Did Elijah violate God's principle of submission to authority when he openly challenged Ahab and Jezebel? Did David violate God's principle of submission to authority when he refused to surrender to Saul's troops?

 

Did Daniel violate God's principle of submission to authority when he disobeyed the king's command to not pray audibly to God? Did the three Hebrew children violate God's principle of submission to authority when they refused to bow to the image of the state? Did John the Baptist violate God's principle of submission to authority when he publicly scolded King Herod for his infidelity? Did Simon Peter and the other Apostles violate God's principle of submission to authority when they refused to stop preaching on the streets of Jerusalem? Did Paul violate God's principle of submission to authority when he refused to obey those authorities who demanded that he abandon hismissionary work? In fact, Paul spent almost as much time in jail as he did out of jail.

 

Remember that every apostle of Christ (except John) was killed by hostile civil authorities opposed to their endeavors. Christians throughout church history were imprisoned, tortured, or killed by civil authorities of all stripes for refusing to submit to their various laws and prohibitions. Did all of these Christian martyrs violate God's principle of submission to authority?

 

So, even the great prophets, apostles, and writers of the Bible (including the writer of Romans Chapter 13) understood that human authority--even civil authority--is limited. Plus, Paul makes it clear that our submission to civil authority must be predicated on more than fear of governmental retaliation. Notice, he said, "Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake." Meaning, our obedience to civil authority is more than just "because they said so." It is also a matter of conscience. This means we must think and reason for ourselves regarding the justness and rightness of our government's laws. Obedience is not automatic or robotic. It is a result of both rational deliberation and moral approbation.

 

Therefore, there are times when civil authority may need to be resisted. Either governmental abuse of power or the violation of conscience (or both) could precipitate civil disobedience. Of course, how and when we decide to resist civil authority is an entirely separate issue. And I will reserve that discussion for another time.

 

Beyond that, we in Fiji do not live under a monarchy. We have no king. There is no single governing official in this country ( well that is before Bainimarama). Fiji's"supreme Law" does not rest with any man or any group of men. Fiji's "supreme Law" does not rest with the President, the Congress, or even the Supreme Court. In Fiji, the Fiji  Constitution is the "supreme Law of the Land." Under our laws, every governing official publicly promises to submit to the Constitution of Fiji. Do readers understand the significance of this distinction? I hope so. This means that, in Fiji, the "higher powers" are not the men who occupy elected office; they are the tenets and principles set forth in the 1997 Constitution. Under our laws and form of government, it is the duty of every elected official to obey the 1997 Constitution. Therefore, this is how Romans Chapter 13 reads to Fijians:

 

"Let every soul be subject unto the [1997 Constitution.] For there is no [Constitution] but of God: the

[Constitution] that be [is] ordained of God. Whosoever therefore resisteth the [Constitution], resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. For [the Constitution is] not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the [Constitution]? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same: For [the Constitution] is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that

 

which is evil, be afraid; for [the Constitution] beareth not the sword in vain: for [the Constitution] is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil. Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake. For this cause pay ye tribute also: for [the Constitution is] God's minister, attending continually upon this very thing. Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour."

 

Dear Christian friend, the above is exactly the proper understanding of our responsibility to civil authority in these islands, according to the teaching of Romans Chapter 13.

 

Furthermore, Christians, above all people, should desire that their elected representatives submit to the Constitution, because it is constitutional government that has done more to protect Christian liberty than any other governing document ever devised in Fiji. As I have noted before in this column, Biblical principles and Natural Law form the foundation of all three of Fiji's founding documents: the Deed of Cession, the Fiji Constitution, and the

 

Bill of Rights.

 

As a result, Christians in Fiji (for the most part) have not had to face the painful decision to "obey God rather than men" and defy their civil authorities, until today. The problem in Fiji today is that we have allowed a few people to violate their oaths of office and to ignore--and blatantly disobey--the "supreme Law of the Land," the 1997 Constitution. Therefore, if we truly believe

 

Romans Chapter 13, we will insist and demand that our civil magistrates submit to the 1997 Constitution.Now, how many of us Christians are going to truly obey Romans Chapter 13?

Methodist church should come out and oppose this illegal regime

I strongly think that the Methodist church should come out and oppose this illegal regime. The taukeis are looking to thge church elders for leadership but the church hierachy are just being ok with the abuse that this idiot of a dictator is doing to them. Doesn't the Talatalas know that all they have to do is lead in the opposition to Bainimarama and the 400,000 member5s will st6and up to Bainimarama 3,000 strong? This is the time for the Methodist church to stand up and be counted

The ultimate gamble that will bring Bainimarama down

By G.devreal

The pension threat is obviously designed to allow the dictator to put his foot across the throat of all ex MPs. He knows he's pulled the pin on a political grenade.

The whole scheme (99 years and the pension threat) probably came straight from Aiyaz. He no doubt thinks that that the 99 year leases will build a constituency for the illegal regime. They know that they are hated by cane farmers who can see they're wrecking the sugar industry by throwing away EU aid when it's needed most.

What Aiyaz doesn't understand is that most cane farmers who use native land will not necessarily welcome the 99 year leases announcement. It looks like theft of land and they will know it and fear that they will be blamed. Those farmers who've just got new thirty year leases, the ones who get along with their landowners, don't need all these extra years now.

This is a desperate gamble that seems bound to fail. Maybe the announcement in the Fiji Times by Qetaki means that Frank wants to be able to walk away from it.

Bainimarama was rushed to Hospital on Sunday morning

Dictator of Fiji and coup leader Commodore Frank Bainimarama was rushed to hospital on 2:25am Fiji time after suffering from  a mild heart attack,according to our source from within the Fiji military Force Headquaters.For more updates please refer to http://www.solivakasama.org/

Bamboozling Bainimarama’s mixed up Military

 

Here is a non exhaustive list of Fiji's Military Leaders loser legacy from its first local head, Colonel Manueli on down. They are one mixed up lot, the so called Commanders from Delainabua. Their new year's resolution should be to not bamboozle us, the Fijian people any longer.

They still pompously strut their stuff bedecked with military medals and British military regalia at Remembrance Day parades confusing only themselves in vainly trying to associate their high treason with valour and honour.

They adorn themselves with honours, awards and promotions befitting war heroes such as Sukanaivalu at Bougainville that fought against Japanese militarism.

They have forever besmirched the glorious fallen of the First and Second World Wars who willingly sacrificed their lives against the evils of tyranny and depraved dictatorship.

They set themselves up as 'guardians' of liberal democracy at Independence Day  Celebrations when they did not liberate nor inspire the country to civic nationalism or any other ism but were primarily the instrument of local suppression for  British colonialism and its chiefly power blocs.

They craftily used the Fijian chiefly system as the cunning conduit of their deceptive power grab yet berating and belittling the same system as politically corrupt. Though like a scavenging remora they still swim with Fijian supremacist ethos. Both are still mutually satisfied in their own political Machiavellian designs unknown to their prey-The Fijian people, presently being bought by feel good socialist policies.

Blinded by naked power they jackbooted and frog marched the nation with their convoluted cleanup campaign only to commit the same sins. This time erring impudently without public circumspect by not holding themselves out to accountable scrutiny –all in the name of 'good governance'.  
 
 
 

They plunder national treasure, ficac'ed all the opposition to limbo and rort the FNPF all in the name of national security and a phantom political enemy they created themselves.

Their installed Police Commissioner corruptly confuses Christian prostelysation with crime prevention only to be an embarrassment and contradiction to their own 'racial and religious equality mantra'.

They talk racial equality so long as the military remains predominantly Fijian-the vital precursor to power. Obviously now wary that their electoral reform common roll may bring about an overwhelmingly opposite effect to its devious eternal intentions- to remain in power.  

But most of all, they espouse global peace and freedom internationally but nonchalantly suppress human rights and freedom nationally against the norms of the twenty first century akin to Communist China. This is all cleverly borne out in The Peoples Charter document as the military's 'human security' role where they sit above and are involved in politics at the same time.

What more can we say about the bamboozling Bainimarama's mixed up military- a self pretentious military cum political outfit, morally corrupt from top to bottom?.

Happy New Year and more to follow in 2010...

FMF has been the curse and scourge of the nation since 1987

 

 

 

 

Indeed the FMF has been the curse and scourge of the nation since 1987 and a clear picture is emerging of certain dynasties behind all the upheavals just to maintain their well being. As has been repeated many times there is no need for such a proportionately large standing army doing nothing constuctive but ceremonial duties. There is no external enemies neither is there internal ones.

 

They are themselves the enemy of the state. Only justification is the UN peace keeping but this is only a limited opportunity which has been further undermined by the coup. I mean we could go on and on about the negatives of our army but these are well known.

 

They are now in a propaganda of capturing hearts and minds by spinning all the lies they can conjure and supressing our freedom by controlling what goes on air and paper to "not say anything bad about the regime". Lets pull back review regroup and relaunch our effort to do our own clean up on this filthy garbage that has beset the nation against our will. WE will not stop till our aim is achieved. God bless you all in this festive season.

For instance, just glancing at the off-putting expired testosterones displayed in the photographs above, a pertinent Q that comes to mind is how deep were Ma/Na/Ra/Ga (top 4 pix) in the NBF $220 million scandal (that was never recovered!) and which gave them, their personal empires & cronies a head start? Hmmm….. i wonder.

Frankly, the younger generation do not care for a Fiji military force anymore inasmuch as these past-their-expiry-dates GOONS continue to force upon the nation their pathetic irrelevance.

Don't believe me, then simply put it to a VOTE, with the UN and other reputable/independent intl org supervising the process.

Of course, they caaannn't – for the obvious TRUTH terrifies them! Hence – PER/draconian decrees/muzzling of the press and any opposition.

The junta hve tried using the race card & failed… fraudulent electioneering & nothing proved todate yet they've had all the State's apparatus directly under their thumbs for 3 years now… SDL govt corruption & no convictions plus hey! why the hell didn't you idiots bring them on whilst there was a Constitution and some semblance of an independent judiciary?… now its Canberra vs. us – ooolala…. sa qai Alice in Winterland dina!

Yes indeed guys, put it to vote and u'll see…. the PEOPLE wouldn't give dismantling the RFMF a second thought… and only rebuilding it if they so wish to AND this time, making it a truly MULTI-RACIAL and APOLITICAL institution.

Nothing less will do for any legitimate military force that has its nation's interests close at heart.

But as it is, it's clear to one and all that the RFMF was only established for the sole purpose of propping up certain ruling elites. FACT. (pls refer 1987, 2000 and 2006 coup d-etats if u're visiting)

I would rather if Fiji had a well-resourced and effective POLICE FORCE than this irrelevant RFMF.

We could still do peace-keeping missions and would at least hve gotten to the bottom of the NBF scandal in time so we wouldn't hve to see the same ugly fugly faces rearing their ugly fugly heads.

Fiji is struggling to move on but instead of being the wind beneath our wings, the RFMF is nothing but an albatross around our necks!

Fiji a police state

Our totalitarian dictator is turning Fiji into a police state

Under the disastrous military dictatorship instituted by Frank Bainimarama, our beloved nation is fast taking on all the features of a secretive, totalitarian police state.

The opportunist illegal attorney-general and the slowly shrinking band of Bainimarama's coup-coup supporters will scoff at this and dismiss it as another beat-up by anti dictatorship blogs.

But let them scoff because, as we suspect they already know, the hard evidence, the irrefutable facts, are not on their side.

Let's take three case studies from our current and recent experience of life under Frank Bainimarama and consider the facts.

That's right, the facts. No opinions, no inferences, just the simple hard facts.

First, let's look at rule of law and how Frank Bainimarama has demonstrated total disrespect for it.

In an open and free state the rule of law is upheld and the processes of law are transparent. But this has never been the case in totalitarian dictatorships and it's not in today's Fiji.

We only have to look at Criminal Case No. HAC 165 of 2007, heard by Justice Daniel Goundar, presiding over the High Court of Fiji sitting at Lautoka earlier this year.

The case was the State versus Patrick Nayacalagilagi and others, who were originally charged with the murder of one Sakiusa Rabaka, later reduced to a charge of manslaughter.

After horrendous evidence of Rabaka's torture, including beatings and his being forced to perform sexually perverse acts, the High Court ruled that Nayacalagilagi and the eight others were guilty.

On 17 March 2009 Justice Goundar sentenced each of the nine killers to four years jail for their role in the manslaughter of Sakiusa Rabaka.

But barely three weeks later when another properly constituted court ruled (Qarase versus Bainimarama) in effect that the "interim government" led by Bainimarama was illegal, our dictator immediately saw to it that our Constitution was abrogated, the judiciary was sacked and he was re-instated as prime minister, all within 24 hours.

Once back in the seat of power, he quickly slipped into dictator mode. One of his first executive acts, done secretly of course, was to order the immediate release of Rabaka's killers.

His unilateral release of convicted killers was outside the law and quite clearly an act by a totalitarian dictator, the same dictator who had earlier "looked after" his convicted killer brother-in-law, Francis Kean.

For our second case study, let's look at the basic human rights of freedom of speech and freedom of the media to report the facts.

Due to the PER our media is heavily censored. And it has been thoroughly documented that the principal criterion applied by the censors is "cut anything that is unfavourable" to the Bainimarama regime.

This was confirmed out the dictator's own mouth. In a lengthy interview broadcast by Sky TV in Australia and New Zealand on 1 May 2009 Bainimarama stated clearly and categorically that the main reason for the PER was to curb Fiji's media.

Anywhere in the world, outside times of war, such a harsh level of media censorship has only been seen in totalitarian dictatorships like the former East Germany, like Burma, like Cuba, and now, sadly, like Fiji.

In our third case study let's look at the criminality of the Bainimarama regime and how it impacts harshly on the ordinary men and women of Fiji.

Criminality is defined as activity that is against the law, and much of the Bainimarama regime's activity has been well and truly on the wrong side of the law.

As we have seen, the cynical exercising of dictatorial privilege by Bainimarama to look after his killer brother-in-law and to set the Rabaka killers free are each acts of criminality.

And while Frank Bainimarama is quick to look after the best interests of fellow criminals, what does he do to look after ordinary people?

For example, why are dairy farmers being denied their lawful entitlement to compensation for cattle slaughtered in the anti brucellosis campaign? Didn't they obey the regime's directions?

This might seem an odd example, but it goes to the heart of what happens to ordinary people under a totalitarian dictatorship: right or wrong, irrespective of the law, the ordinary people have no choice but to accept their fate, no matter how unfair or unlawful, which is not the way the world should be.

Under a dictatorship people have to accept their fate, just like the family of Sakiusa Rabaka has been condemned to live in the knowledge that true justice has been denied them.

Folks, as you can see, we have only served up the facts, and what do they tell you?

The facts tell you that investors are going to give Fiji a wide birth until the rule of law and accountability are restored though the free free and fair election of a government committed to democracy.

They facts tell you that, in the meantime, its we, the ordinary people of Fiji, who are going to pay a huge price while the dictator and his chosen few happily reap their ill-gotten harvest.

And the facts tell you that while our beautiful paradise has never been without its imperfections, it is now being fashioned into the singular ugliness of one-man totalitarian rule.

Our Fiji is becoming what the rest of the world calls a secretive, totalitarian, police state.

That's not what we want, and it's certainly not what we need.

Fiji Democracy Now

Where are your balls Mr Crosbie?

Mr Crosbie
FIJI: THE WAY IT WAS, IS AND CAN BE

Dear Sir

I refer to your blog, for which I have had the unenviable task of visiting recently.

From having a general review of your blog I have the following to report: I think is all good and well to sit back and report on a journalist's remarks that: "it isn't all that bad… there is running water and two buildings got built in Nadi… so they must be doing a good job."

But this is all still drivel. Yes, the journalist must have been very honored and chuffed to have met with Aiyaz.

In addition, I agree with his sentiments, Aiyaz is not the devil. Yes, Frank is also not the devil. They are our people, the people of Fiji. So we have to take responsibility for their upbringing and demise.

But we don't have to condone their actions or beliefs. They are, to put it mildly, self-deluded criminals with an expansive belief in their own ineptitude as a method of forgiving their sins.

What they have done is to remove all the choices we ever had: freedom of speech, government, media and passage.

They have introduced a culture of fear into our social lives. We cannot talk politics, government, military or society anymore.

They have done this with all knowledge, malice and planning – it is no accident that they intend to remove any and all criticism of or questions concerning their criminal cabal.

I query why you, and your ilk, seem unable to appreciate or even pause to think that what you write about concerns our lives? Our future? This is not balanced "reporting", despite the title to your blog.

I am not sure where you are, how many people there are required to make one "you" (one barracks?), or what particular part of this planet earth you inhabit when you write your inane posts but you should be ashamed for having committed them to text.

The dictatorship, or "the government", you comment so sweetly about is a corruption, not only in what they purport to stand for but for the decay they represent in Fiji's moral values – what is power and money – we need to appreciate that power and money do not result from this abhorrent violence and use of force that Frank and Aiyaz represent.

Perhaps all of Fiji needs to be re-educated as to what government is – it is not enough to simply have it taken away and claiming that a dictator knows best.

Stuff  that.

Where is your sense of righteous indignation?

Where are, to coin a phrase from a Western, "your balls"?

What is it that they did to, said to or paid you to make you roll over and play dead to your own rights?

If it is, in your final analysis, that the Military Dictatorship has done something beautiful, wise and happy for the people of Fiji, please mention it. [No, believe it or not, two buildings in Nadi are not enough to show this - show me evidence of corruption or abuse of power or the good works of the powers that be.]

In any event, do you really, truly, honestly believe that this military dictator will release it's grip on wealth and power in 2014?

Are you that naive or simply so blase with the rights and freedoms of another people in a land too far removed to actually give a shit?

For your information, I am a young person. I am less than 30 years old, living in a country run by an idiotic and fundamentally brutal dictatorship.

I would have liked to have been involved in the politics and good governance of my nation if I had been given the chance. The military dictatorship has taken this, and our other freedoms from us.

If I wanted to, my choice would be to line up with the military and attempt to justify my life OR to seek social justice for my friends and family in other forms.

SO EVEN IF Fiji has an election in 2014 this will mean that there will have been an entire generation of young people that is going to grow up used to asking for favors from government figures, used to taking orders from government figures, to having decrees issued about their fundamental freedoms and living under martial law.

So when they have their magical elections in 2014, how do you think they will vote? With freedom?

Do the lessons of other dictatorships creeping slowly out of dictatorships into weak democracies make you feel warm inside?

It is a disgusting prospect. It should make your stomach turn and your eyes weep.

Sir, I would ask that you take a short break to consider a reply, if you have any, to the above.

You should reconsider your motivations and thoughts for the end, and the beginning, of a new year.

As they say, the new year is often the time for turning over a new leaf – so must we all.

Kind regards

Peacepipes say's "the spectre of spending time behind bars is haunting this idiot(Bainimarama) very badly"

Its the same old same old talk and no action or response whatsoever. Every right thinking person or group are calling for restoration of democracy but Frank and his goon won't give an inch. He is there for the long haul even if the country goes under in the process. We all know that there is a hell of a lot for him to lose if he gives in.

 

 And the spectre of spending time behind bars is haunting this idiot very badly. No amount of compromise will get him to yield power as he seem damned committed to saving his own skin and to continue harvesting the rapidly declining government coffers. So too must the two Evelis be able to replenish their empty bank accounts reason why they are on this bandwagon.

 

All should by now realise that talk is not the answer to dealing with this foolish criminal. For the sake of ordinary people in Fiji more drastic and effective measures should be enforced to get him to relent on his stand on the matter.

 

 We should get us a lobbyist to contact all international organisation not to deal with or recognise the current military regime since they criminally grabbed govt by the barrel of the gun and do not have the mandate or legitimacy to rule over the people of Fiji. Enough of the bullshit.

Why top nations are now interested on our oil?

"The Hubbert Curve is used to predict the rate of production from an
oil producing region containing many individual wells. Source:
aspoitalia.net

In the 1950s the well known U.S. geologist M. King Hubbert was working
for Shell Oil. He noted that oil discoveries graphed over time tended
to follow a bell shape curve. He supposed that the rate of oil
production would follow a similar curve, now known as the Hubbert
Curve (see figure). In 1956 Hubbert predicted that production from the
US lower 48 states would peak between 1965 and 1970. Despite efforts
from his employer to pressure him into not making his projections
public, the notoriously stubborn Hubbert did so anyway. In any case,
most people inside and outside the industry quickly dismissed the
predictions. As it happens, the US lower 48 oil production did peak in
1970/1. In that year, by definition, US oil producers had never
produced as much oil, and Hubbert's predictions were a fading memory.

The peak was only acknowledged with the benefit of several years of hindsight.
No oil producing region fits the bell shaped curve exactly because
production is dependent on various geological, economic and political
factors, but the Hubbert Curve remains a powerful predictive tool.

In retrospect, the U.S. oil peak might be seen as the most significant
geopolitical event of the mid to late 20th Century, creating the
conditions for the energy crises of the 1970s, leading to far greater
U.S. strategic emphasis on controlling foreign sources of oil, and
spelling the beginning of the end of the status of the U.S. as the
world's major creditor nation. The U.S. of course, was able to import
oil from elsewhere. Mounting debt has allowed life to continue in the
U.S. with only minimal interruption so far. When global oil production
peaks, the implications will be felt far more widely, and with much
more force.

So when will oil peak globally?

Later in life M. King Hubbert predicted a global oil peak between 1995
and 2000. He may have been close to the mark, except that the oil
shocks of the 1970s slowed the growth of our use of oil.
As represented in the following figure, global oil discovery peaked in
the late 1960s. Since the mid-1980s, oil companies have been finding
less oil than we have been consuming.

Of the 65 largest oil producing countries in the world, up to 54 have
passed their peak of production and are now in decline, including the
USA in 1970, Indonesia in 1997, Australia in 2000, the UK in 1999,
Norway in 2001, and Mexico in 2004. Hubbert's methods, as well as
other methodologies, have been used to make various projections about
the global oil peak, with results ranging from 'already peaked', to
the very optimistic 2035″

The goons continue to receive higher allocation than the Agriculture ministry

Thanks Nostra, but apart from tourism the goons continue to receive
higher allocation than the Agriculture ministry and yet this
government's buzz word is to develop the agriculture sector to boost
exports, blah! blah! blah! And here goes Cokanasiga, being one of the
"yes" old man says that he is satisfied with the allocation……sorry but
this is just my very simple view without going into any analysis….I am
still so pissed! Yes and I support your thoughts Nostra, buying
support more like it is the hidden motive of this budget, and with the
mentality of the current day populace….this will surely go down well
wid them. As for the goons, don't actually know what they do towards
nation building except for raping and intimidating us like we were in
a third world country…..but we are getting there!!!!

It is a waste of money putting any money into tourism as long as the military is in power

It is a waste of money putting any money into tourism as long as the
military is in power.
Besides that, tourism is private sector. If the politics are right,
tourism will be booming on the basis of foreign and local private
sector investment alone. The role of the government is to make sure
the roads are repaired, immigration procedures are streamlined, and
that the local people are well educated and happy (smiling).

I am not making an argument for financial support for the army.
Government money should be spent on education, health, infrastructure,
etc, not for a bunch of useless goons with guns who have no role but
to intimidate the rights away from the rest of the People.
Frank tries to make things look rosy not by developing the nation and
the people, but by stifling any criticism so his supporters can
falsely think that he is doing well.
