Wheres the Emergency?


According to Fiji Times Online, interim AG Aiyaz Sayed Khaiyum has just confirmed that the Public Emergency Regulations have been extended to 31st May.

But what happened to the promises made to the EU at Brussels that the Public Emergency Decree will not be extended beyond the month of May... isa, sa vinaka ga ni levu tu na vula o Me!

Sa qai lau rai tiko qo ni o iko Voreqe sa o tamata lasulasu saraga.

The inevitable question on everyone's mind right now is where the frak is the threat to national security, public order and safety?

It seems the military is up to to the same ol shite again!

I remember when shortly before 5/12, King Bai was running around flexing his muscles against the Government and the Police declaring that there were all kinds of threats to national security lurking behind every nook, cranny and crevice... including his own!

The plain and undeniable fact of the matter is that there is no threat to national security, public order or safety.

There never was.

It was all fabricated by the military's propaganda machine to justify Bai's ascension to Kingship on 5/12.

Unless.... maybe something has changed since 5/12.

Perhaps the recent stories published by freedom bloggers have an element of truth.

Is it possible that by extending the Public Emergency Decree, King Bai is publicly acknowledging that there is a very real threat of an imminent takeover at QEB and by extension a very real threat against his life and that of his family?

Can it be true that many senior military officers and soldiers have just about had enough of this shite and simply want a return to normalcy?

Can it be true that Roko Lui is being sidelined because he has taken sides with a the dissenting faction of officers at QEB?

Can it be true that military personnel are being sent home in anticipation that something very bad (or very good depending on how you look at it) is about to happen at QEB?

Can it be true that King Bai was briefed at his home in the early hours of Friday morning (last week) on a imminent threat to his worthless life posed by angry soldiers within his own royal guard.

Can it be true that all this pressure is causing King Bai to have hallucinations of old Fijian men (the ghosts of Christmas past) occupying his home (and eating all his food).

If most or even some of these reports are true, then the continuing extensions to the Public Emergency Regulations are sure indication from King Bai's quarters that all is not well on the western front.

But never you mind Bai. You keep suppressing the rights of the people because thats one sure way to rally support against your lost cause.

To the soldiers of FMF. Remember that your King's days are numbered.

This coup cannot succeed. You must know that by now.

There are only two questions that remain.

How much damage will he do before he is removed?

And, will you help King Bai, his family and his friends promote corruption and enrich themselves or will you help return our beloved country to transparent and democratic rule.

The Unions are about to go on a nationwide strike and you will be ordered to raise arms against your brothers and sisters to crush that strike.

Make your choice now and choose wisely.

Nation-Wide Strike Looming

The Fiji Nursing Association has really taken the bull by the horns this time. See Fiji Times article "Nurses to go on strike".

The FNA General Secretary Kuini Lutua has confirmed that 80 percent of nurses (and this number is likely to go up at their upcoming AGM) have voted to go on strike against the arbitrary decisions of this dictatorial government.

A strike by nurses, she said, is now inevitable.

The FTA have indicated they will follow FNA and join the strike.

FPSA have previously confirmed they have an overwhelming mandate from its members to go on strike over these same issues.

The illegal IG is having some difficulty understanding (perhaps because of their lack of experience) what effect a prolonged nationwide strike can and will have on the ability of this government to function.

It seems that only experienced politicians can appreciate the effect of the threat by the Unions.

Bune is reportedly so worried about this whole strike saga that he is enlisting the help of former politicians and long time civil servants to try and talk to the Unions, particularly FPSA, to avert a strike.

The military of course is reportedly approaching this whole strike threat as if it was a mutiny by its soldiers.

We can't blame them really. They just don't know any better.

Soldiers are, afterall, trained in the use of weapons, not words.

But surely, the IG must realise that using the military to resolve a national strike is like using a bazooka to swat a fly.

We are hearing reports that the military top brass (or at least those few who are pro-King Bai supporters) are preparing for "battle" and have plans laid down to quash (with bloodshed if necessary) any attempt by Union members to gather in public during the strike period.

The military also intend to take in the organisers of the strike soon (before the strike) for a crash course on "following orders" and when the strike starts to enforce a complete media blackout on it so that the striking employees do not know whats happening.

The time for diplomacy is not yet gone, King Bai... but your time has surely come.

A clash between the downtrodden workers and a misinformed military following the illegal orders of an overpaid IG now not only seems imminent, but inevitable.

Perhaps, some patriotic soldiers will overthrow the good King Bai before the time comes for them to raise their arms against their own mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, cousins and friends.

Major Ana is New Magistrate

Reliable sources have confirmed that Major Ana Rokomokoti is to be sworn in on Monday as a Magistrate!

Major Ana is currently one of the closest advisors to interim Attorney General Aiyaz Sayed Khaiyum and King Bai.

Her appointment as Magistrate is made on the insistence of King Bai.

Where's the transparency in an appointment like this?

Is this not the height of corruption?

King Bai in Deep Trouble!


FMF soldiers have now gotten over the initial "cowboy" phase of the 5/12 coup.

They have gotten over the thrill of carrying live weapons in public and scaring the living daylights out of innocent civilians.

They have gotten over the thrill of playing commando and wearing their full battle fatigues in public.

They have gotten over all that jazz and all they have left are unanswered questions.

Chief among those unanswered questions is - Why did we do it and what did we achieve?

Unfortunately, no straight answers are forthcoming from King Bai and his boys, Driti and Leweni.

No evidence of corruption has been put forward since 5/12.

NLTB now appears free of corruption and so too does FNFP.

Pre-coup allegations that Tailevu High Chief Rt Jope Seniloli was corruptly released under CSO now seems to be unfounded. King Bai's boy Khaiyum has now admitted, post-coup, that there was nothing unlawful about Rt Jope's release after all.

So its completely understandable that the good soldiers of FMF are now asking themselves - Then what the hell did we just overthrow this government for?

With no evidence of corruption, the only visible changes since 5/12 was that Bai declared himself King of Fiji. And, his friends and relatives were promoted to high government positions. This, after he promised the nation that neither he (and by extension his family) nor anyone one in the military would benefit from the coup!

So the good soldiers of FMF are asking themselves - Did we carry out this coup to install Bai as King or did we do it to weed out corruption?

Truth is they did it to weed out corruption (because that was what they were told), Bai did it to install himself King. Rt Epeli G supported Bai and became King Maker.

Together, the King and King Maker were able to control the investigations into the missing regimental funds (more than FJ$300,000) stolen by the King Maker many years ago.

Its not that complicated really. The driving force behind 5/12 coup was power, greed and self-presevation!

So now the good soldiers of FMF are beginning to find out the truth. And they are not happy. In fact, the majority of the officers and the rank and file they are pissed off.

Rumours are now circulating within QEB that another takeover is imminent.

This is not one of those "wishful thinking" rumours.

This one appears to have some credibility.

I understand that more than a few soldiers have being sent home by their commanding officers because they want to avoid unnecessary injury or death, like what happened on 2/11.

A takeover, I am told, is now unavoidable because King Bai, Driti and Leweni have gone beyond the point where most of the Fijian soldiers are willing to blindly follow.

It is rumoured that King Bai and Driti are well aware of their imminent overthrow as it is now the hot topic of conversation among the soldiers at QEB. I got this information directly from loyalist soldiers within QEB.

King Bai it seems is only now coming to grips with the reality that he does not have the full support of many his senior officers.

It has been confirmed that many of the soldiers at QEB are frustrated at King Bai's unFijian like behaviour and they don't like his treatment of their Chiefs in the GCC.

Rumours are spreading within QEB that King Bai and Driti are working overtime to keep the military propaganda machine running because that is now their only hope to keep the FMF from factionalising more than it already has.

Those rumours also suggest that King Bai, Driti and Leweni have now shut out Roko Lui from their inner circle because Roko Lui is now beginning to understand that the military is being used by Mahen, Pramesh, Rt Epeli G and various businessmen to further their own agendas. Roko Lui, in other words, is openly opposing King Bai and Driti.

So, prepare yourselves because the the bond of comradeship that used to bind the military together is now quickly becoming undone.

Very soon, King Bai will have to choose between abdicating his throne (and face going to jail forever - or at least until the cows come home) or ordering a bloody confrontation between his own troops (and face certain death).

Choose wisely dear King Bai... for this decision may be your last!

More Shadowy Figures Revealed!


I have received unconfirmed reports that Jim Ah Koy and another very prominent and former senior Government Minister visited King Bai at his stronghold at QEB only a few days before 5/12.

This was around the time LQ was preparing to go up to Naitasiri.

My sources tell me that apparently the whole reason for Jim and this former senior Government Minister's visit was to advise King Bai to please go ahead and overthrow Qarase's government, immediately.

It has taken me a few days to decide whether to publish the name of this other Minister, but I have decided against it. He remains afterall a very prominent politician and a statesman, and is still a close personal friend of Qarase.

Jimski of course has recieved his reward for his early support - He was recently appointed as Chairman of FTIB!

I can confirm Minister X has not yet been rewarded with any Government posting or Board appointment. This was an important factor in my decision not to name him, yet!

Minister X, if you happen to read this, I promise you I know who you are.

If you accept any reward from King Bai, be it a position in the interim Government or an unlawful appointment into any Board, I will publish your name on the same day your accept your "12 peices of silver" and everyone in Fiji, inlcuding your family and close friends, will know the extent of your betrayal!

May Day, The Strike, The Effects!


I join the call by fellow freedom bloggers to stay home on 1st May.

I admit though my motives are personal.

You see I just don't like Baini Marama or his stooges. Losers. All of them!

The bottom line is, if you don't come to work en mass on 1st May, Bai's administration will not function properly for one day.

You can ask yourself, but what good will that do?

It will send a clear and unequivocal message to Baini Marama of the kind of trouble he and his unlawful government are likely to face in the event of a nationwide strike.

Reliable sources have confirmed that even hardened politicians like Bune and Mahen are getting really worried about what will happen if the whole country goes on strike for a prolonged period.

Remember, we are many. They are few.

And because we are many and they are few, we can decide our own fate and future.

We can decide who we want to govern us.

In fact, we have decided this in the last elections, but Bai and his cronies (the losers in that election) have taken that away from us by force of arms.

Now we decide again.

First we stay home on May Day!

Then we go on nationwide strike and cripple the economy.

We ignore calls by the military, the IG and their supporters that we should act rationally because thats what they should have done instead of carrying out 5/12.

When we do this, then only will we put the true loyalty of Bai's soldiers to the test!

FMF soldiers won't get their pay processed and their food won't be delivered. The soldiers will be forced to ask themsleves whether they are willing to continue to follow Baini Marama and his greedy self-serving friends.

Personally, I don't think Bai is capable of understanding the full implications of what a nationwide strike will do to his government.

He needs to get this message into his head because the mere threat of a strike is a little too abstract for his simple mind to comprehend.

He needs to see an actual example in order to understand the full implications of what he is facing - a popular revolt by the people against his unlawful regime.

So lets give him an example he won't forget.

Stay home on May Day and give him a taste of things to come if he does not return Fiji to democracy immediately!

Rabuka Agenda!


Over the past few months, former PM Sitiveni Rabuka has become the IG's self-appointed advisor.

Every important decision that Bai and the IG need to make is given the once over by Rabuka who then gives his 2 cents worth through the media. No one really knows whether Bai takes any notice of Rabuka's advice but most seem to be in support of Bai's initiatives.

Bai can do this... Bai can do that!

Bai can do anything he wants because he's the King of Fiji. I know I did in 87... when I was King!

But what does Rabuka really want?

Does he want to be nominated for VP?

That might be a problem. The chiefs don't trust him, and he might have to knuckle up with Rt Epeli Nailatikau because Bai's adamant this position is going to his pal Nailatikau... come what may!

So does he want to lead the FMF again?

No doubt, this will give him all the authority he needs to ignite the Fijian cause and "synergise" this with his personal agenda - more money, more power, more girls in sleazy hotel rooms.

But here too, he's bound to face some problems.

Most of the soldiers don't trust him and Bai certainly is not just going to roll over and hand power over to Rabuka - Bai knows he'll be deprived of his security detail and will be dead within the week!

Maybe Rabuka is cleverly trying to fan the flames of Fijian anger and pit Fijian civillians against Fijian soldiers by playing on Bai's recent moves to replace the GCC membership. Afterall, he did say this will leave Fijians "chiefless."

Sorry Rabuka, the Fijians are not going in to battle against fellow Fijians to serve the interests of a few greedy men (and women). The soldiers at Delainabua are just begining to figure this out and one day soon, Bai will be overthrown by his own people.

Whatever his actions, Rabuka's agenda is almost always predictibly for Rabuka.

His actions, though may seem overtly benevolent, always have a componet that will see him gain in power, status and wealth.

Bai's Comment

In response to the EU conditions, Baini Marama said today:-


''The agreed commitments on the respect for democratic principles, rule of law, human rights and fundamental freedoms and follow up commitments are very much in line with the offer Fiji had made as part of its submissions for the consultations.''

Wait a minute. Did Baini Marama just say that his regime is committed to respecting democratic principles and the rule of law?

Then what the hell was 5/12?

And did he just say his regime was committed to respecting human rights and fundamental freedoms?

Come on Bai. Who are you trying to kid?

We still live under a state of emergency created by you.

People who speak out against you are still being taken in to QEB for "inciting" (although nowadays its done quietly so that the media doesn't get wind of it).

The military is still stopping LQ from coming to Suva to fight his case.

Lawyers who try to commence legal challenges against you are still being threatened.

The murder of innocent civillians by the military is being swept under the carpet.

Members of statutory boards are still being replaced without any explanation.

Just a few days ago, you and Driti were one step away from declaring war against the combined forces of USA, UK, Australia and NZ.

You can try to hoodwink the EU (although I don't think you'll succeed), but all the good people of Fiji know that your statement is as empty as your Government's coffers.

Please Baini Marama, just tell it like it is.

By the way, I found an old picture of you and Mahen in your younger days. Don't try to deny it!



Bai's Way Or The Highway!

Vinaka vakalevu Bubu for posting this propoganda pic of Baini Marama on your blog (discombobulated.blogspot.com).

The Look Of A Worried Man!


The eyes tell the story.

This my good people is what a worried man looks like.

This is the look of man in fear for his very life and the life of his family.

Bai, you should have known better than to frak with the Great Council of Chiefs. O sa coqa tiko na matani moto qori!

Bai's only hope was to get the $350 million from EU. His government has no more money.

Bai had hoped his No. 1 team would have told the EU like it is, but when they got there, his No. 1 team got their collective asses handed back to them on a platter... yes it was a silver one!

EU's non-negotiable conditions for the release of funds include:-

- elections by March 2009

- suitable road map by June 30 2007

- appointing of VP in accordance with the Constitution

- upholding of every facet of the Constitution, including human rights, freedom of expression and independence and integrity of the judiciary

- go back to the camp and stay there

- bring back the GCC and respect their independence

- lift the Public Emergency Regulations, and

- no more of this crap about invoking the doctrine of necessity

In other words, if Bai wants his money he has to swallow his pride and reverse everything he's done over the past few months.

He's already started by diplomatically apologising to the US for wrongly directing the removal of the barricades at Loftus Street.

But that's not enough, Bai.

I imagine there will be more grovelling in the coming weeks. Just try to read between the lines and you will see a very remorseful Bai... quick with the mouth but a little slow in the head!

Stay tuned.

Mahen's True Agenda - The Root Cause of Our Problems


Mahendra Chaudhary's personal goal is to weaken Fiji's reliance on the tourism industry.

How does he intend to do this?

Well, he convinces the interim PM (who is really too stupid to know any better) that hotel developers are making millions of dollars in profit and only a small part of this is being realised by the Fiji government.

He and Pramesh Chand then hoodwink Bai into agreeing to implement policies that they say are aimed at recovering some of this wealth from the hotel developers.

Bai of course sees the wisdom in this because if theres one thing he knows, its that his Government's coffers are empty.

What Bai, in his unfathomable ignorance, does not realise is that the policies suggested by Mahen and Pramesh are in fact aimed at scaring away potential hotel developers.

Once Bai agrees, Mahen and Pramesh implement their policies through the Finance Ministry and FIRCA. Sometimes, more direct action is taken, like when Mahen used his boys Felix and Urai to do the dirty work at Natadola.

But what is the purpose of this exercise, you might ask?

In short, Mahen and Pramesh want to implement a policy of Indianisation in Fiji.

Mahen is not being racist, although he will gladly play the race card if it suits him.

He is just being a politician, and a very shrewd one at that.

What he really wants is to revive Fiji's dependence on sugar.

Why? Because 98 percent of sugarcane growers in Fiji are Indians.

Their grievances (ranging from expiring leases to expiring sugar protocols) will always be a source of employment for a fighter like Mahen.

In other words, in order to keep his job, Mahen needs Fiji to rely more on sugar and less on tourism.

If Fiji diversifies, like everyone is saying it should, then Mahen will lose control of his electoral powerbase (the sugarcane belts) and will have to return to being a Trade Unionist, if they'll have him back.

Long term, Mahen is not doing this for himself. Afterall, he is getting by in years.

He is doing it for his son and heir apparent, Rajendra Chaudhary.

So you see, Mahen has hoodwinked us all.

He has whispered sweet nothing into Bai's ears, and Bai, whether by some misplaced sense of patriotism or just pure lunacy (or greed), has believed Mahen and allowed the Ministry of Finance to spearhead the destruction of Fiji's only money making industry - tourism. An industry where it is the indigenous Fijians, who for once, reap the benefits.

When the dust finally settles, Fiji will find itself without tourism as a major money earner. And, now that Gold is in doubt, we will have no choice but to turn once again to sugar, just as Mahen and Pramesh had planned it.

When that happens the good old days of Indian dominance in national politics will return in full force.

Whenever Mahen wants something done, the sugarcane growers will hold the national economy to ransom by threatening to go on strike.

When this finally happens, Bai, Epeli Ganilau, Leweni and Roko Lui and other key military officers will be left scratching their heads wondering what the hell just happened?

They will of course all have their 12 pieces of sliver in their pockets because that was their goal.

But they will never fully appreciate just how Mahen was able use their greed to hijack the country and how he used Fijian soldiers to overthrow a Fijian Government to do it.

Bai and his greedy bunch must be ruing the day when FMF soldiers finally realise what it really means to continue to follow the orders of these self-serving military leaders.

In the short term, it will mean new 4x4s and big houses for the pro-Bai officers and small pay increases and promotions for the rank and file.

It will mean the dawn of a new age for Fiji where we are completely reliant on sugar (ie. Mahen's goodwill) for our very survival.

It will mean the destruction of the GCC and all the traditional values we, as Fijians, hold dear.

And most of all, it will mean our slow but sure demise, spiritually, culturally and economically.

GCC Suspension - Wheres the Law Society?


Bai's decision to suspend further meetings of the GCC may be his most stupid one yet.

It begs the question who the hell is advising him?
Could it be that the advice is coming from the two NZ expat lawyers consulting the interim AG? Why are they here?

Why hasn't the Fiji Law Society done anything about this.

Bai's decision to suspend the GCC because it did not endorse his, ahh sorry the President's nomination for VP is wrong, morally and legally.

Furthermore, his announcement that the President will now go ahead and appoint the VP without GCC endorsement is contrary to the provisions of section 92(1) of the Contitution.
Section 92(1) states:-
92(1) If the office of Vice-President becomes vacant, the President nominates for Vice-President another person who is eligible to become Vice-President and that person becomes Vice-President if the nomination is supported by the Bose Levu Vakaturaga.
Clearly, if a VP is chosen without GCC endorsement, it will be a breach of section 92(1). I don't have to be a lawyer to see this.

Who then is going to take Bai to task.

I always thought that the FLS was our last hope - the guradians of the law in Fiji.

Didn't their member take an oath to uphold the law (and isn't the Constitution the highest form of law in Fiji)?

The actions (or rather inaction) of the FLS in these difficult and trying times will define the way society views lawyers for many years to come. Moreover, it will define how lawyers will view themselves.

If they do nothing, the FLS and its members will be regarded for all time as the ones who dropped the ball and let the legal system breakdown.

The Courts cannot initiate the challenges.
It is up to the members of the legal fraternity to do this.
The people of Fiji are relying on you lawyers.

It is time for lawyers to stop taking from society and perform their civic duty.

Certain members of the legal fraternity like Tupou Draunidalo, Richard Naidu and Tevita Fa are doing their bit and giving us hope that this illegal regime will be held accountable for their unlawful actions.
They may not all be SDL supporters, but they are all true guardians of the law.

I remember a time when the FLS was very vocal and even prepared to go to Court to challenge some of the SDL's more contraversial legislative initiatives.

But now, their silence is deafening.

Bai is ripping the Constitution to shreds and turing Fiji into his own personal dictatorship and the FLS is sitting there and doing nothing.

Please Mr Devanesh Sharma:-

(1) write to your NZ counterpart and enquire why they have two members assisting an illegal regime here in Fiji;

(2) take out an action to challenge the legality of the takeover;

(3) offer to sue the interim regime on behalf of the GCC.

Do something. Do anything.

Just don't sit there in silence and hope no one will notice.

Bai Bewildered?


The comments by Bai on Fiji Times Online today are a real gem.

Bai said that he was "bewildered" by the GCC decision to reject the President's nomination for Vice President.

Initially, I was myself bewildered that Bai used the word "bewildered".

I'm sure he said it.

I'm not so sure he can pronounce it.

I'm absolutley sure he can't spell it.

But he seems to know what it means, so... we'll let it go.

Then, we ask ourself, should Bai really be "bewildered" that the GCC rejected his, ahh sorry the President's nomination.

A few short months ago, Bai was renouncing the GCC saying:-

"If the GCC committee and their advisers cannot meet the military's demands, then they should meet under a mango tree and enjoy home brew."
Now he is saying Rt Epeli is being unfairly:-

"penalised and crucified for having responded to a genuine call of national service"
Come on Frankie, thats a load of crap and you know it!

We just had a general election. We already chose those who we wanted for national service and it did not include Epeli Nailatikau, Epeli Ganilau, Bernadett Ganilau or any other Nailatikaus or Ganilaus or other candidates from the National Alliance Party of Fiji.

But some how they all seem to have found their way into your lineup!

You self-serving bunch of hyprocrites!

Bai, I can only hope that one day your soldiers will wise up to the fact that you are using them to advance your own personal agenda.

And just when I thought you couldn't get any dumber, you go and make a comment like this:-

''We need to rise above our narrow personal agrendas and make decisions for the greater good of the country as a whole.''
I rest my case.

Idiot of the Year Award


I know it may seem a little too early in the year to be handing out the IDIOT OF THE YEAR AWARD but I can't help it. We have so many potential winners out there…

…and the Nominees are:-

(1) FRANK B for promoting family values almost as much as he promotes family members.

Memorable quotes include:-

"This Army will protect the rights of all citizens of Fiji" (said just before they began a campaign of terror against the good citizens of Fiji);

"No one in the Army will benefit from this coup" (said just before he appointed himself Interim President and then Interim PM);

"My aim is to end corruption" (said just before he appointed his brother Timoci B as Census Commissioner).

(2) LEWENI (IG spin doctor and former military bandboy) for continuing to publicly comment on matters he has absolutely no knowledge on. Fiji's own Comical Ali.

Memorable quotes include:-

"We haven't really interfered with the media. All we have done with the media is getting them to report the truth."

"Human rights abuses in Fiji were relatively minor and international sanctions imposed after the recent coup have had little impact."

(3) SAYED KHAIYUM for making just about everyone else in the IG look like rocket scientists.

(4) COL. DRITI for being the IG's resident sadomasochist. Note however that rumours of his recent catfight with Frank B has upped his cool ratio with the general public, but not by that much.

(5) SHAISTA SHAMEEM for being the shyster that she is.

The ballots are in and the Winner is...
