The Laws of Fiji

We have recently noticed the number of anti-govt. bloggers increase their ravings on this site. While many have simply resorted to using profanity (it is expected when you're ill-bred) while others have questioned the legitimacy of the military and its actions. We have been down this path once. We will only say that any member of the military who has or was involved in any physical abuse of citizens of this country has been taken to task. Each soldiers involvement has ultimately been decided by the military council and we will let the matter rest there. There is nothing further to discuss on this topic and we will not be returning to this issue.

We reiterate that the death of Malasebe was not of any consequence and his death has only removed a dangerous individual from our midst. To those who have repeatedly questioned this, we ask what you would choose if you were in the shoes of Malasebe's victims? Would you rather watch your family slain before you or slay the beast who threatens the very sanctity of your home? The choices we all make are our own and no individual can tell you what path to choose. We made our choice a long time ago and we will stick by these choices till the end. When in sight of the Almighty, we will be answerable for our actions and not the RFN and SV pot-smokers. We will however, not allow corrupt SDL officials to return to the forefront of running this country - that is certain. We will ensure that individuals who have used this country as a mere tool for their unscrupulous activities are taken to task and the light of the justice system falls on them.

Our sovereign leader has sworn an oath to protect this country - from evil forces within and outside. We are curious as to how our detractors reached the conclusion that his actions were illegal when the Courts have pronounced the action as legitimate. This was clearly demonstrated in whereby the then Acting Chief Justice Anthony Gates ruled in Qarase v Bainimarama [2008] FJHC 241; HBC 60.2007S; HBC 398.2007S (9 October 2008) that

"We find that exceptional circumstances existed, not provided for by the Constitution, and that the stability of the State was endangered. We also find that no other course of action was reasonably available, and that such action as taken by the President was reasonably necessary in the interests of peace, order and good government. Rather than impairing the just rights of citizens we conclude that the President’s actions were designed to protect a wide variety of competing rights from displacement by avoiding conflagration." (p.62, [162])

So where does the question of the legality of this govt. come in? Who are the RFN and SV bloggers to question this when the law of the land, the same law which is applicable to all the people in those country, has been found to be correct in it's verdict? Certainly, from the tone taken by both amateurish sites only serves to tell the wider public that the websites are in contempt of Court from their actions and words.

We have only to quote from the recent High Court ruling of In re Application by the Attorney General of Fiji [2009] FJHC 8; Action No 124.2008 (22 January 2009) where the learned Justice Hickey ruled, citing the judgment of Wilson J in 1979 in Rooney (No 2), Papua New Guinea, that

"the independence of the judiciary is guaranteed by the Constitution … The Constitution provides the protective safeguards of judicial independence … The independence of the judiciary is the key to freedom under the law … The Judicial Declaration that each member of the judiciary is required, by … the Constitution, to make before entering upon the duties of, or exercising any of the powers of, his [or her] office is inconsistent with there being any erosion of the concept of the independence of the judiciary … By virtue of the making of such a declaration independence becomes a vital part of a judge’s judicial integrity ..."

which clearly states that the decisions taken by the judiciary were legitimate and in line with the current constitution. In addition to this, making such false statements, we cite the case of Regina v Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis, Ex parte Blackburn (No 2) in which Lord Salmon (at page 155G) said:

"It follows that no criticism of a judgment, however vigorous, can amount to contempt of Court, providing it keeps within the limits of reasonable courtesy and good faith."

Lord Edmund Davies (at page 156E) agreed saying:

“The right to fair criticism is part of the birthright of all subjects of Her Majesty. Though it has its boundaries, that right covers a wide expanse, and its curtailment must be jealously guarded against. It applies to the judgments of the courts as to all other topics of public importance. Doubtless it is desirable that critics should, first be accurate and, secondly, be fair, and that they will particularly remember and be alive to that desirability if those they would attack have, in the ordinary course, no means of defending themselves.”

So, these references should be more that adequate to provide the RFN and SV bloggers with the reasons behind the actions taken to remove the SDL from power and the realistic consequences of contempt of Court which the RFN and SV bloggers have crossed more then once. We have chosen these quotes deliberately for the following reasons. It should be noted prior that The International Court of Justice resolves matters of international law between sovereign states. For more on its jurisdiction look at its web site: here

• Google Blogger is subject to International Laws and as such should the reason demand action, the company may be subjected to an appearance in the ICC whereby the Court may ask for full disclosure of IP (Internet Protocol) addresses of all individuals who utilize the RFN and SV sites. This has already been proven when Google was summoned before the Supreme Court in the USA and asked to provide IP addresses of all individuals frequenting pornographic sites which encouraged paedophilia. While the issue of privacy was paramount in the argument, the Court ruled that the rights of individuals who indulged in such behavior were not subject to privacy and as such had to be disclosed. This was agreed to by Google. The govt. of Fiji can, should it wish, to file an injunction with the ICC which can issue a suspension of the bloggers accounts which are found to be abusing the Freedom of Speech clause for their malicious practices.
• That the bloggers of the RFN and SV site are using the Internet domain for their flagrant and vagrant display of contempt of Court which is punishable by law as the primary domain of the Google Blogger site is in the USA which is also subject to the International Laws of fair speech and protecting the reputation and rights of individuals.

We hope that our message is clear - we will not stop because the law is on our side and we ensure that every action is done in line with the 2007 Constitution of Fiji.

Sick Methods by RFN

The RFN bloggers are outrageous. Their various attempts to twist the blogs on this site for their personal propaganda are dastardly at worst. Over the past few days, the bloggers have claimed that this site is inciting or attempting to incite a racial war. We reject that claim and ask that the daft bloggers prove their claim. By merely using superficial words and then claiming such ridiculous things is going beyond the norm.

Who on earth is claiming that this site is trying to incite a racial war? There is no racial war, there is no call for any racial war nor will there ever be any call for racial wars. The RFN bloggers are obviously mad or they're just amazingly thickheaded to realize that the days of using race as a reason for wars are long gone. Try a different tack because you're beginning to sound like the broken record - which is actually what they sounded like from the beginning except the record seems truly broken now.

On behalf of our team, we would like to categorically state that the claim by the RFN bloggers is absolutely false, like the false prophets they worship and we hereby issue this disclaimer.

The problem lies with the fact that we tell the truth and because it is the truth, the bloggers at RFN cannot bear this fact and use such dirty tactics to further their cause - it certainly has not worked in the past and it will not work now or in the future.

One of the recent accomplishments of the govt. is the absolute removal of all councillors and mayors. Over the past years, these corrupt individuals have ransacked the coffers of their towns and benefited themselves beyond belief. The Suva mayor along with his criminal deputy have used every possible opportunity to loot the council coffers and benefit themselves with presents of cars. The situation was exacerbated when the overweight slob decided to spend council money and gave himself along with his subordinates, new vehicles. This was achieved by increasing city rates. The Nasinu mayor used council funds for buying groceries for his family and this is one of the main reasons he was fighting so much when he was told to vacate the office.

We will not be restoring any of these mayors and councillors, particularly based on the fact that these mayors and councillors were appointed by the SDL who then used them for their corrupt practises. The Commonwealth can demand the elections until they're blue in the face because the constitution will first be changed to ensure that corrupt individuals such as Qarase and his crooked members never return to power. It is time for the RFN bloggers to get in line with the new policies or consider self-annihilation.

Full Text of Fiji Times vs. State of Fiji

Exposed as we are to the winds of criticism, nothing which is said by this person or that, nothing which is written by this pen or that, will deter us from doing what we think is right; nor, I would add, from saying what the occasion requires, provided that it is pertinent to the matter in hand. Silence is not an option when things ill are done.” (Lord Denning MR in Regina v Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis, Ex parte Blackburn (No 2)

For those who came in late, this is the full text of the recent case between the Fiji Times and the State. Our stand is that the judiciary is intact and we use this case as an example. For those who have even a shred of sanity and reason left in them, we hope that you will understand the reasons cited and that the subsequent removal of Gardner is justified.

In re Application by the Attorney General of Fiji [2009] FJHC 8; Action No 124.2008 (22 January 2009)

Our Stand

We deliberately chose not to blog yesterday. We feel that the amount of blogging we have been doing is great and we are back today to discuss things of greater importance.

While the PIF has shown itself to be a truly inept group and corrupt as well, Fiji is still inviting the members to the next meeting to be held in Nadi. Of course we will be presenting our case again to the PIF and hope that they have the good sense to realize that no matter what the case, we will not have any election time lines dictated to us by other countries. Our country is not under the dominion of any other country and the attitude shown towards us by Australia and NZ only serves to reinforce why there is a need to remove these two countries from the PIF. The fact that they use cheque-book diplomacy to achieve results is testimony that these two countries will stop at nothing to show the world their bullying tactics. Fiji has done nothing but make attempts to salvage the relationship we share with these countries but it seems that neither countries are willing to listen to the Fiji side of things. There embarassment over the fact that they tried to invade Fiji during the early days of the coup and their subsequent failure to make Fiji into another Solomon Islands has caused a deep stain in their persona. We repeat - we will not change our stance. We will have elections when we are ready and not allow other countries to dictate their terms to us.

Fiji leader defiant after threats

Source

Preamble: Even in the face of pressure from our neighboring countries who have shown their true colors and green underbellies, our govt. remains undeterred from our mission. IG Blog Team

Fiji's leader has expressed defiance, a day after the Pacific Islands Forum threatened it with expulsion if no elections were held by the end of 2009.

In an interview with the New Zealand-based Hindi-language Radio Tarana, Frank Bainimarama said he felt under no pressure to set a date for elections.

He described New Zealand's Prime Minister, John Key, as being very rude and uninformed.

Mr Bainimarama took control of Fiji in a military coup in 2006.

The Pacific Islands Forum met on Tuesday and agreed that if Fiji did not announce an election date by the start of May, and hold elections by the end of the year, it would face sanctions by the regional grouping, including a loss of development funding.

'Declaration of war'

In the interview, Mr Bainimarama said the forum should not hold its breath waiting for instant action.

"It is going to be a long wait. We have already given our explanation, right now I don't think we need to explain anymore," Mr Bainimarama said in the interview, repeating his comment that elections could take up to 10 years.

He described the summit's ultimatum as unprecedented.

"I have never come across a situation where a country gives an ultimatum to another country unless, of course, there is a declaration of war", he told Radio Tarana.

He also singled out New Zealand's prime minister for criticism.

"I don't think, from the explanation that was given to me by the attorney general, that [John Key] completely understands what is happening in Fiji because during the discussion yesterday he was very rude to the attorney general - he was very personal in his questions to him," he said.

A spokeswoman for Mr Key was reported in New Zealand media as saying he was not available for comment.

Reforms

Fiji's attorney general Aiyaz Saiyed Khaiyum has said Fiji was not in crisis.

"You have a government in place that's been held to be legally and validly appointed by His Excellency our president [by] a three member panel of the High Court. So we do not understand what the crisis is," Radio New Zealand quoted him as saying.

The country wanted "long-term and sustainable" democracy which "seems lost on some people", Radio New Zealand reported.

Fiji's deposed former leader Laisenia Qarase said the ultimatum was unlikely to persuade Mr Bainimarama to change his position.

Mr Bainimarama "has become addicted to political power... he likes the power and that is why I feel it will be very unlikely that he will hold elections by the end of the year", Mr Qarase said.

Academics based outside Fiji concurred, saying the military man was not the sort of person to react well to outside pressures.

Double Minded RFN Bloggers

It is laughable to assume, even for a moment, that Fiji will be threatened by a suspension which was no doubt brought about through cheque-book diplomacy which Australia and New Zealand are famous at doing. We will not be swayed and the PM is right in saying that such a move is a declaration of war. For those with short memory spans( SV and RFN), the PM had announced shortly before the coup that if the Bikitawa arrangement was going to be used as an excuse to harm our sovereignty in any way, our responses would be equally harsh.

We do not care about the impending suspension nor do we intend to hold elections this year. There will be no announcement by May 2009 and those who oppose our decision will do well to keep their ideas close to them - we will not tolerate any dissent. As the PM has said clearly very recently, if the SDL leaders do not pipe down or continue to sow the seeds of dissent, then they will never be allowed to lead the country again and Nukulau is a great resting place for people to mull over their thoughts and actions.

The misguided cattle at RFN and SV once again assume that the recent blog written about he Methodist Cult was written by the FHRC director. How quickly the worm turns! First the accusation was hurled that the article were the words of the AG and now RFN claims that the article was written by the FHRC director. It is clearly obvious to all our readers that the RFN do not know whether they are coming or going. They have no clear concept of what they want to achieve with the prattle they spew and they certainly have no ideas of whats right and wrong. We apologize to our readers that when we asked that Waqairatu be strung up by his feet, we had failed to add cult leader Manasa Lasaro to the whole affair. These two men should be strung up by their feet then set on fire for the world to see what happens when you try to commit seditious acts or incite racial hatred. These men are not fit for this world and since they worship the devil in secret, they should be sent to his world accordingly.

We would like to comment on the recent departure of Rex Gardner. We are happy that he has reached safely back to Australia and wish him well with his future - he will never return to Fiji. Our responses are very unlike previous govt's. We are responsive and we will not take the middle ground when our sovereign rights are threatened by the media or other countries. Unlike the days of old, we will not shy away when pushed around. We will push back and it is perhaps here that we raise the issue of the RFN claims that they have connections with the military council. We would like to categorically state that this claim is a LIE. It is a dirty lie by a group of thugs and drug pushers who live in a deluded world holding onto the last shred of hope that their words may have some strength. Those days are long gone. We continue to tell the world the truth every time an article which carries only lies and hate is published on either RFN or SV. We will not allow our people to be hoodwinked by these mountain goats who think that everyone shares their warped sense of thinking.

We have also noted that people such as Pramod Rae are frequenting the screens of the television as the biased media seek for more ways to discredit the work done by the govt. It is perhaps the right time to warn Rae that something very serious will be done about his outbursts if he does not contain his malicious ideas. Just because the govt. has not sought the ideas and support of the NFP should not be seen by Rae as an excuse to push his personal agenda's forward. Rae is a failure and this has been clearly demonstrated in his inability to manage his union members and the fact that he represents a party that will never ascend to power again and is considered a "has-been" party. The NFP officials need to seriously take heed that the govt. will not tolerate any interference in our work and people such as Rae need to be mindful that their actions will carry consequences of an equally severe nature.

We observed the PIF leaders seem to be equally divided on the issue of our suspension. While cheque-book diplomacy has been the order of the day, the countries that only yesterday chose to support us and today go against us will no doubt reap the rewards of their actions. Tuvalu and Kiribati need Fiji in order to get their flights going. We will ensure that this action by the PIF is not unanswered. As soon as the grassroots people are back on their feet and their children are back at school, a strong response will no doubt be issued to ensure that our voice is heard and our decisions taken in response will be felt throughout the Pacific. We will not allow countries such as Australia and NZ to bulldoze their way in the PIF and if trade sanctions are required, then we have no doubt they will be forthcoming from Fiji very shortly. We do not have time to sit and play diplomacy games with hypocritical countries and we will ensure that our rebuttal is direct and impacts the right areas.

The RFN bloggers are no doubt feeling the frustration of their work which has born no fruit as yet. The mere fact that they do not allow commenting on their articles is a clear indication of their fear that the large number of people who will flock to their site will send clear messages that their views are not supported and that their actions are wrong. A number of people have asked that we moderate comments. We will not do this as we believe in all views published - it gives us an idea of the level of desperation the RFN bloggers are facing that they will stoop to any level to try to silence us. Before we end this blog, we would like to invite all our readers to visit the link provided on the left - Fiji: The Way it Was, Is and Can Be. The blog is written by an individual who chooses to use neutrality (like our site) in discussing many issues affecting Fiji today. We encourage you to visit the site for your own benefit.

Rebuttals

We were incredibly proud of our PM when he gave his speech to the military. His words carry strength, vision and give us the hope that good things are on their way. Despite the efforts of the RFN and SV bloggers (who seem to be always blogging about mundane issues) to once again tell lies to the world about the election dates and their extremely foolish attempts to portray us as Islamic terrorists, we remain undeterred. The PM's speech has given us the courage to say what we wish to say because we feel the truth must be heard.

On the issue of Rex Gardner, the matter is now closed and we would like the public to know that this issue will not be allowed to be used as a martyr. Gardner's actions of malicious intent were well noted and the fact that he admitted to a criminal offence add weight to the reasons for his removal. We will standby that decision and this will not be reversed.

Coming back to the issue of the Methodist Cult, we note that while the RFN site spent a great deal of time pillow blasting the group, it failed to remember that only two or three blogs before that, it was kissing the feet of their leaders of the group. The inability of the RFN arse-kissers to grasp the subtle messages behind our blog on serves to reinforce the fact that they are merely empty vessels which choose to makes noises in order to be attract unnecessary attention. Again, the RFN bloggers chose to make the articles written by us one which tries to strike racial overtones. We disagree strongly and at no point do we insinuate such a concept. Our article is written based on facts and figures - we all know the majority of the people affected were Fijians who just so happened to be Fijians. Why deny that? Here, the RFN and SV bloggers continually harp about their ethnic identity but refuse to allow a distinction to be made where they fall in bad light. We believe that the Fiji community needs greater support in this tragedy as many have lost their entire farming crops which were used to feed entire families and villages. Do not be stupid, RFN and SV bloggers. We see through your muslin thin treacherous acts and will not fall prey to them.

The announcement of the 2010 elections will not be made at the PIF. We will make an announcement when we want to and the PIF is certainly not the forum for such an announcement. This is a matter which concerns our people and has nothing to do with the people of other countries. Just because we dont have elections this year the people of all the other countries will not die of shock. We are certain they respect our sovereignty and will allow us to do what is necessary to ensure a free and fair election. The constitution will certainly need to be amended to ensure that gutter-snakes such as Qarase and his band of robbers will never return. The PM has already stressed this point clearly: Qarase is never coming back and if the people want to continue living under military rule (which is the best thing that has happened for this country), then vote Qarase - he will never enter his office nor will he be allowed to execute any decisions. We cannot allow the SDL to take us down the same horrific path it did in the past and we will recover from another coup but we cannot survive with the SDL govt.

The RFN and SV bloggers need to understand that we will not be allowing any elections until the constitution is changed to ensure that those promoting racial hatred or people who commit acts of a racially biased nature are sacked from office by the President who will be the supreme executive of the govt. of the Fiji Islands, as is the case now. The Qarase govt. made attempts to nullify the President's powers and usurp those powers for themselves to make more executive decisions. They were stopped in time and the nation tethered back and forth on the brink of collapse. We restructured and weeded out corrupt practices. We ensured that all those who got jobs in the civil service based on favoritism were thrown out and never allowed to return. Our work has been massive and resulted in a more efficient and controlled management of finances which were previously lacking. We have done a lot and proven to the people of this nation that under our leadership, they prosper more then they did in the past. Certainly, with the global crisis, our lives may be somewhat stretched but we are comfortable knowing that wretched bills such as the Qoliqoli and RTU will never see the light of day. This is our response to the first question they have posed to the members of this blog.

We choose to use this blog as a medium for communicating our views and letting the world know the unbiased and unedited truth. Our opinion is that the media in Fiji have long been pawns of the govt. of the day. We believe that their interests are generally in line with the govt. so long as the govt. continues to give them advertizing mileage and other financial perks. This govt. recognized that the media in Fiji are not independent. The journalists who report stories have long compromised their positions and taken political allegiances with various parties. People such as Anish Chand, the teletubby of Close Up is a well known NFP supporter. We are fully aware that his questions are prepared by the NFP team and we know that they are geared towards embarassing the position of any govt. member who attends the show as a guest. We also know that people such as Netani Rika are staunch SDL supporters who use their powers to write any article in favor of the SDL and discriminate the current govt. We are aware of many other reporters and media outlets who have benefitted from the past govts. financially and reputably. This is perhaps the crux of the matter. This govt. will not allow the media to abuse the power of media freedom and it has been long establised that media freedom does not give the media the power to report what they want. Where restraint needs to be used, it should be done and the foremost thought in any journalists mind when reporting on something is to ensure that the report does not cause any form of instability.

Fiji's journalists are low ranking journalists by international standards. Their reports lack accuracy and quality. Most of the reports published are done with a slanted view and the whole article will generally tell the people what the journalist thinks is right instead of what the truth is. We think that the media will need to be more careful and operate like any other sector - with restraint and moderation. We cannot allow the media to continue assuming they are god and can say or do what they want. Media freedom exists in Fiji but just like any other country, it is governed by the laws and policies of that country. If the media in Fiji are unable to regulate themselves as they have so rightly demonstrated over the years, then people such as Daryll Tarte need to consider alternative career options or get out of Fiji because their slanted views will not be tolerated.

The media should learn to accept that their days of flaunting the govt. and running amok with wild, unsubstantiated stories is over - this govt. will come down hard on the media if it fails to uphold the principles on which journalism was built: truth

This was our response to the second question posed by the foolish bloggers of RFN. These matters are now closed and will not be discussed further.

We continue to ask the RFN and SV bloggers to see the light of day and join us in our quest to take the country forward - your own people are asking you for help. Will you continue to spurn them with contempt?

Our Country, Our Laws

We read the articles on the RFN site, particularly those which discussed the 2010 elections. We note with great disappointment that the site chose to publish an unsubstantiated claim when it is we who know the truth. The elections of 2010 will happen and while the recent blog by the RFN and SV bloggers has done its best to once again shade the truth, their shabby attempts have once again been thwarted by this site which continues to publish the truth and the real voice of the people.

It is wise of the PM to tell his colleagues that he will not be swayed by the ridiculous antics of Australia, NZ and other minuscle states which think they have the right to dictate terms to Fiji. This is Fiji and the govt. will decide where we go - and that direction will be one which benefits everyone in this country. The fact that the SV and RFN bloggers concocted their sky-high tale about the PM stating the 2010 elections will not happen, only those who have some connections with the reality of the situation will testify to this fact - and that group is us.

We also note with concern that mention has been made of the AG attending the PIF instead of the PM. As mentioned before, this site has made it abundantly clear to the fatheads at RFN and SV that the PM is not in a position to attend as he is needed in Fiji to steer us out of the recent disasters. The fact that the AG has gone in his stead is not any indication of who the real PM is. It is showing you, the biased bloggers that teamwork and solidarity is very much alive in the govt. and that members can trust one another to the point where they can delegate members for key events. So, the foolish attempts by the RFN site to portray the PM as "afraid" to go are based on baseless facts which can easily be translated to heresy and lies.

On the note of Rex Gardners removal, we would like to be the first to say that this decision is fully supported by us. This has been long coming and Gardner should have realized long ago that any seditious comments or comments which have the possibility of raising instability in this country will have serious consequences on the individuals involved. The govt. along with the army will not be toyed with by unscrupulous people such as Gardner who concoct seditious stories merely to increase paper sales. We hope that this move will result in the media learning that every action carries a consequence and their recent behavior will not be tolerated by this govt. unlike the previous SDL govt. which used the media as its mouthpiece for spewing their propaganda all over the place. People such as Nawari and other key media officials were all hand-picked by the SDL criminals and they ensured that every item published praised the govt. instead of exposing the rampant level of corruption going on inside the govt. and the fact that the govt. treasury was nearly empty.

As per the requirements of expatriate working conditions, any expatriate found to have been served with a sentence of a legal nature is in breach of their working contract and as such will be subject to deportation at the discretion of the govt. Gardner obviously thought this was a joke and flaunted this to the point where he reaped what he had effectively sowed. The govt. will continue to monitor all expatriates who come into Fiji and then try to dictate or impose their ideals on us. We will not allow such behavior and Gardners deportation should come as no surprise. Regardless of the comments that will no doubt follow this news, the NZ and Australian govts. are in no position to tell us what to do. Our country will be run according to the laws of Fiji and not other countries laws. Any expatriate who feels they have a right to comment in our local political affairs is mistake and will be taken to task if discovered.

It is hope that this move will ensure that any individuals who come into our country in the future to work will respect our laws and customs.

N.B: For the commentator who published that our previous article was written by an Indian, look again if you're not too blind and stupid. Look carefully at the words used and the expressions. It is of someone you are all too familiar with and have heard these words a number of times. Look carefully - that is all we say.

The Snake in Priests Clothing

A number of our supporters have asked us to comment on the role the Methodist Church has played in the current disaster. Our analysis shows that the majority of the people affected by the flooding were Fijians, specifically, members of the self-promoted Methodist Church.

The Methodist Church is a sham. Its leaders (who spend time abusing young children) drive around in expensive vehicles while its members scrounge round for morsels of food. The very existence of this denomination raises serious concerns about the level of involvement the church has in politics and over time, the idiotic priests have stated that politics and religion should go hand in hand. We beg to disagree. People such as Tuikilakila Waqairatu should be strung by their feet and the people of this country should stone these heathens to death for their comments and actions which have led this country to the brink of a racial war. The leaders of the church preach and promote racial hatred openly. Its members are then forced to give huge sums of money for the leaders benefits. We do not see this as a church of the people. We are certain that the leaders of the church have long given up their role as teachers of good and advocate everything the devil stands for.

The Methodist church has long been made up of leaders who are hypocrites and choose to openly flaunt their disobedience to the nation and its laws. Whenever there has been a coup, the Methodist church has always publicly supported it. In 2000, these were the same cowards whose actions resulted in the death of loyal soldiers and widespread bloodshed. In 1987, these were the same people who announced that the coup was something ordained by God. These self-serving men and women should realize once and for all that there days of dabbling in politics are over. They cannot continue to hide under the umbrella of religion and then openly preach violence towards other groups and their financial excesses will soon be checked as we denounce them here in front of the whole world. The leaders of this cult need to realize that they cannot stand in the middle - they must make a choice between religion and politics and their sick sly voices will not be allowed to speak from both podiums.

The Methodist church continues to oppose the govt. Why do they do this? Because this coup ensured that all their dirty dealings and snivelling ways were brought to the fore and the people realized that the leaders were nothing more then a sham. The people have been blinded far too long and we will not allow this to continue. We still remember during 2000 when Kanailagi and his group of supporters announced their support for the coup and stated that the Methodists accepted this.

Commentators like Jone are correct when they say that the church is nothing more then a breeding ground for corrupt preachers and their refusal to accept the Charter is testimony to their corrupt ways.

The Methodist church refused to accept this coup not because they thought it was wrong but because they would no longer receive those million dollar donations from the corrupt govts. of the past. It will be a cold day in hell before this govt.bows to the demands of a cult which has long corrupted the minds of our people.

Instead of sitting on the sidelines and simply crying about democracy, it would do the church leaders good if they got up and worked with the govt. instead of trying to destroy it. The Methodist church has a mission to work against us and we say that perhaps its time the leaders go back to their villages and plant cassava instead of assuming they can weevil their way into govt. with their racist agendas. When its people are dying of food and looking for means to survive, the church haunts them with their demands to give them more money so its preachers can go and have dinners at JJ's and other lavish eateries.

It is time the supporters of these criminals realize that they are merely feeding snakes who will continue to leech of these hard working individuals instead of doing an honest days work!

A Quick Update

Good evening to Everyone. We have had a fairly long day today as we had a lot of things that needed to be done to provide more support for the victims of the flood in the West.

We noted the very somber yet thought provoking article written by RFN. We thank them for the article and agree that the way forward one day will be the PM handing over the reigns to civilian rule. Unfortunately, that day has not come yet as there is much to be done and the work needed to be done has not finished. We hope you will continue to work with us to take this nation forward. On the other hand, we note with great disappointment that the bandits at SV have not stopped complaining. In fact, the site seems to be uncertain as to which direction to take with issues.

This fact has been noticed after the site screamed that the PM should attend the PIF and voice Fiji's views. In the same breath, the site tells the Australian and NZ govts. not to grant him access to their countries as he flies to the PIF. We're not too sure who has been on the weed wagon longer but the cracks continue to get deeper and wider in the SV camp. Bloggers seem to be taking sides and bad-mouthing one another without any concern for language used or the excessive racism that the site has encouraged without regard for their actions. We hope that bloggers such as Budhau will eventually see the light and leave the site to join our cause and take the country to new heights.

Our recent exposure of the SV bloggers identities has unleashed a barrage of criticism from the SV supporters. We stand by our blog and maintain our articles authenticity. The bloggers at SV are no doubt worried as the military keeps a close tab on such blogs and our recent revelations are no doubt a blessing for them. Perhaps, if the bloggers who have been exposed have any sense of decency, they would blog under their real names now. We don't need to state our names because the anti-govt. bloggers already know our identity. If one were to take a reality check on the SV site, one would see that the site is quickly running out of ammunition as they now resort to publishing entire speeches by Presidents of the US instead of focusing on issues in Fiji, as quite rightly stated by a number of bloggers on the site. Perhaps the site should rename itself and focus on lobbying for or against bills passed by the new President. Our hacker contacted us yesterday acknowledging receipt of our congratulations for a job well done. Doubtless, we will be seeing more fireworks in the coming days from that camp.

We welcome the decision by the PIF to defer the meeting. Their genuine acceptance of our current situation should serve as a message to the two lumbering hulks, Australia and NZ, that they are never going to be allowed to become wedges in the true pacific spirit. We hope that the meeting which will be held in the future will be one we can attend and sincerely look forward to hosting it in Fiji. That should show the world and the uncouth SV bloggers that we are genuine in our efforts and that their rants are similar to the growls of a toothless and nail-clipped tiger. Eventually that tiger will tire of its exertions and we will once again move in to shut down the site.

We welcome all our supporters to continue their hard work of taking the nation forward and to all those who have sacrificed their livelihoods to building Fiji into a better place to live, we are indebted to you and your families. Vinaka.

The Naked Truth - Exposed!!!

We read the following comment in our blog site a short while ago and broke out the bubbly.

Names, emails, aliases of all users of SV are in the hands of the hackers who hacked into solivakasama.org on Tuesday and published a post titled WE CONFESS:

1.Vilisi Naiduki
2.Te Waqavonovono
3.Imraaq iqbal
4.Tamarisi Digitaki
5.Angie Heffernan
6Arsad Daud

Game Over.

If the posters statement/revelations are true, then the SV has just effectively ended its tenure. We are happy to publish this information for the world to see because only a few days ago, anti-govt. bloggers dared us to publish their names - we are only to happy to oblige such requests. Obviously the workout session Imraz had at the camp has not dampened his mental strength and hence his stupid move to take up blogging. We are now in a position to confirm that we know who hacked into the SV site and we believe it is the same hacker who destroyed the life of the RFC site when it existed, albeit for a short span of time. Our sincere thanks goes to you know who for the actions taken and we look forward to seeing more great results from you.

We also read the following a short while ago:

F**k you and f**k aiyaz and chick shameem is a f****n bitch.

We have no doubts that this comment was left by one of the exposed bloggers who couldn't stand their identities being exposed and decided to try one last time to show the world their amazing profanity capabilities before dying. The word now knows that the blog is run by the above people and their so called supporters are no more then a mere handful. The question that now beg to be asked are how the bloggers claimed they had so much support when the whole blog was run solely by them? We know that people such as Imraz are utterly stupid as he is a well known cannabis smoker so obviously they had someone arrogant like Arsad to setup the whole show for them.

For those who are still in favor of SV, look at the names of your so called leaders. Angie Heffernan is well known for fleeing the country after she lost a case against the govt. As a result, she was ordered to pay a hefty fine and fled the country after it was exposed that her legal fees and the QC hired to defend her were all paid for by the US govt. The evidence was provided by Heffernan herself when she told a friend the details during her walks at Nasese. Little did Heffernan realize that her friend would rat her out and the information was passed to us for just this moment.

So, to the RFN bloggers, your articles of late have become very balanced and we are happy to acknowledge this fact. Strive to show the world that you care about the country you live in and are willing to work to rebuild it instead of whining and grumbling about the current situation like the SV bloggers. You must always be proud of your country and be willing to work to help out in whatever way you can without question or fear. Many people have given up a lot in their lives to help out. Many have given up their travelling rights and much more just to serve this nation of ours - the magnificent Fiji Islands.

The SV bloggers have long forgotten that they are seen as mere leeches because of their comments and the level of respect they show for their fellow men only serves to reinforce this fact and the conclusion that they respect no one - even if a new govt. is sworn in, they would never accept it because it is run by a group of greedy individuals who can no longer use corruption as a means of furthering their personal interests and agendas. We are happy your days of blogging are over and we will contact our personal friend the hacker to convey our hearty congratulations. We know the hacker will find you once again whenever you start a blog because the hacker is good at that.

To our fans who have steadily been increasing their support for our cause, we welcome you to the new world - a world where truth is the order of the day and lies from sites such as SV are mere distractions. Let not your vision be blurred by such idiocies and work with us to take this nation forward. Welcome to the new world and we are happy you're a part of it.

Apology

We unreservedly apologize to the RFN blogger for not acknowledging their following well balanced and reasoned articles. Good work bloggers!!! This is the way forward - we all need to help take our nation to the fore again and work together in the process of nation building with our positive comments!

To our readers, the following are links worth visiting:
1) http://rawfijinews.wordpress.com/2009/01/22/qarase-where-were-you/
2) http://rawfijinews.wordpress.com/2009/01/22/thank-you-frank-for-being-there/
3) http://rawfijinews.wordpress.com/2009/01/21/fiji-bloggers-debate-franks-decision-to-give-png-meeting-a-miss/

Perhaps this will inspire the SV bloggers to also see the light at the end of the tunnel!!!

The Fiji Times Falls.

We are back!!! After taking a break for a day to celebrate the appointment of Obama as President of USA, we were very interested in reading your comments. While some of your comments have bordered heavily on racial grounds, we will not be deleting them because we believe in open dialogue.

Once again, the rancid RFN bloggers have ended up with a foot in the mouth. Their ridiculous blogs mention that the PM's non attendance to the PIF is a sign of fear and cowardice. As usual, they have been proven wrong. The PM will be sending a delegate and even though we are sending a delegate, let it not be assumed that this is being done simply because the forum kicked up a fuss. We are a sovereign nation and we will not be pushed around by any of the other countries. It would do the heads of these countries to remember that we will push back. Just as the expulsion of the two commissioners of NZ, we will not allow other countries who have commissions here to think they can behave in a manner which does not conform to our countries rules and international laws.

The RFN and SV bloggers are misguided by the assumption that meeting the leaders at the PIF will do much for Fiji. We are of the opinion that nothing will be gained from this meeting as has been the case for many years. To even have the slightest notion that Fiji will be ordered to do something is based on unfound facts - we will not be swayed and it is up to the other leaders to realize that this govt. recognizes and will not sell our sovereignty down the drain as the past govts. including the SDL have done for money. We will not allow countries such as NZ and Australia to blackmail or bulldoze their way as they have done in the Solomon Islands. Our stand is going to remain and nothing will change that. The RFN and SV bloggers will become old men and women if they think their blogs are going to change the current situation in Fiji. We have achieved a lot since this govt. came into power and we will take the people forward into a new era where we will show them that good governance can be achieved and that race based politics are wrong for the country and its people.

We were a little surprised to have drawn fire from LoyalFijian. We understand his views but we disagree with them as our purpose is to draw out the buffoons who blog from RFN and SV. Our articles have not used profanity and our arguments are logical and direct. This is why our support based grows by the day. We note that the RFN and SV bloggers had at some point commented that no one supported our blog as all comments were against our articles - we invite them to look again today. Our support is growing, just as the support for this govt. is growing and the people realize that the PM is genuine in his cause to bring Fiji back to normality. We invite the LF to look carefully at our blogs and understand that we are not promoting the RFN and SV blogs. Rather, we have done everything to expose their lies and slanted truths. We have shown the world that the truth was being hidden from them by a group of shoddy bloggers who want the world to share their warped sense of ideas and irrational behaviors.

The conviction of the Netani Rika and Rex Gardner shows that the media needs to exercise control when publishing aricles. The acts of the Fiji Times clearly showed that there was a determination to defame the govt. using the open column (letters to the idiotic editor) as the medium. While touting media freedom, the Fiji Times blatantly published articles of extremely seditious manner and also failed to exercise due diligence. Rika, as editor had the full opportunity to prevent the letter from being published yet failed in his duty as a journalist to uphold the principles of his profession. Today's ruling has shown the world that journalists need to be held accountable for their statements, particularly those that provoke racial hatred or cause distress.

According to the Fiji Times websites latest article:

The High Court in Suva today fined Fiji Times Limited $100,000 and imposed a suspended prison sentence on its Editor-in-Chief, Netani Rika, for contempt of court.

Mr Rika was given a three-month jail term suspended for two years. The company was fined $100,000 and made to post a bond of $50,000 for good behaviour for two years.

Rex Gardner, the acting CEO of Fiji Times Ltd, was given a conditional discharge to be on good behaviour for 12 months.

Judge Thomas Hickie said judges were not immune to criticism, nor were they infallible, but the freedom of expression had been grossly abused in this case.

The Fiji Times had published a letter on October 22 last year critical of judges in the Qarase v Bainimarama court case. Justice Hickie found that the letter had gone beyond reasonable and fair criticism of the judges.

The Fiji Times published an apology about two weeks later.

Outside of court, Solicitor General Christopher Pryde said he was pleased with the ruling because it sent a strong message to media organisations to report responsibly or face the consequences.

Fiji Times Ltd lawyer Richard Naidu said it was a long judgment involving a number of legal issues and no statement would be issued until it had been fully studied by Fiji Times lawyers. Quote

While the FT published an apology, it took two weeks to eventuate by which time the damage caused by the letter had done its work. In order to prevent the court case from even ocurring, the FT can be assumed to have published the apology without any genuine intent. The FT lawyer, Richard Naidu will perhaps finally understand that media freedom is not meant to be taken as face value. Just like each of us are governed by policies and rules at work (not the RFN and SV bloggers as they have no scruples about anything), the media need to realize that such policies apply even more to them because of the information they handle and disseminate publicly. In future, perhaps journalists will learn to publish the truth instead of the slanted version which is entwined with their own conclusions generally founded on rumors and lies.

Media organizations in Fiji along with Daryl Tarte will perhaps now stay quiet because they have long been touting the freedom of the media and its independence. Perhaps Tarte will now realize that his ridiculous notions are what lead to this culmination of decisions and as an honorable man, he will resign his position. Our congratulations to Mr. Pryde and our sincere thanks to Justice Hickey who has shown that the Judiciary's role is still very much independent and they are not swayed by the rantings and ravings of fools such as those in RFN and SV. Perhaps the bloggers will also now realize that their actions will one day make them accountable to the law and we look forward to meeting you in the Courts that day.

Barack Obama

We will not be blogging today and will instead offer our hearty congratulations to President Barack Obama. May you be the inspiration many have long been searching for.

We will be back tomorrow to catchup on our work!!!

Support Begins!!!

Your comments are very much appreciated, particularly those who have shown an understanding and willingness to work with us to take this nation forward.

As usual, the inebriated fools at RFN and SV have once again missed the point - we suppose that this is something we will need to make allowances for considering that the bloggers cannot see further then the tips of their noses. We will not go back to providing an analysis of what we have said because anyone who has the slightest sense of anything will be able to grasp the messages we convey and our views about the current situation. We will also refrain from entering the arena to discuss who is behind this blog albeit the RFN bloggers have continue with the false opinion that this blog is run by a collection of individuals the RFN bloggers CLAIM are the authors. We have absolutely no connection with them and respect them as they are honorable and hard working citizens of this land. Our fight is not and never will be with them.

The PM has announced that he is seeking a deferment of the meeting which is soon to be held. We applaud this move and agree that this is best way forward for Fiji. Had the PM decided to attend, it would have been like the man who's house is on fire and leaves it to go and play golf - and the PM has once again shown that he is for the people and will stay around to ensure that the flood stricken victims are tended to and not left to fend for themselves. We highly commend this action and hope that for once, a ray of light may enter the world of the RFN and SV bloggers so they may see the good this govt. and its members are trying to achieve for Fiji. It is unfortunate that they choose not to see the good and live their lives in the petty world of plots and acts which they feel counter mine the lives of the Indigenous Fijians - perhaps they have been subjected to such ideas in their infancy by their parents.

On the side, we are extremely happy to see the level of bickering which has begun on the SV site and we now eagerly await the day when someone breaks rank and comes to us with all the website details - our contacts have already been established with one member who has assured us that he has the relevant details to access the site as an administrator so our team can then shut down the blog for good. Whats perhaps even more interesting is that fact that Tui Savu's true plans have come to light and the world no knows of his sham plan of sending money for flood victims here in Fiji when in fact he was simply collecting this money for a booze bash with his friends. Being the drunkard and sly degenerate that he is, Tui Savu must surely be plotting his next move as the SV bloggers become aware of his plan and sceptical about his moves to solicit funds from members - the truth shall prevail as is the case with all scammers!!!

Our team has been busy working around the clock assisting the victims of the flood by donating clothing, food and other key items we feel is vital for the people of the West - this is being done with no funding from anyone except our team members who have agreed to pool a certain amount of money every week to ensure that we can all help the victims in some way. Its not a lot but certainly more then the petty whining coming from the RFN group or the scammers at SV. We hope that our gestures will help the individuals recover some normality in their lives. The RFN bloggers have spent too much time looking at petty issues that they forget their own families may be suffering but their hearts have turned to stone and they will never help their own kind out of greed.

We have reduced our blogs as we all work during the day and have meetings to attend. After that, we generally meet up at a coffee house and discuss the days events and decide which way to best respond to the rubbish written by the RFN and SV bloggers. We feel that we have a duty to do this as we need to world to know what the truth is instead of what the twisted version is as construed by the heathenish RFN and SV bloggers. Our identities remain anonymous just like the RFN bloggers and we note that the identities of the SV bloggers will soon come to the fore as their in-fighting is surely leading to a mass revolt which we anticipate with eagerness.

Voices from the Dark

We read with amusement today on the RFN site that the bloggers had managed to find our ID's. It is hilarious to think that people such as the Khaiyums, Shaista Shameem, Christopher Pryde and Rizwan ud Dean are involved with this blog. Even more amusing was the fact that the bloggers seem to believe the yarn they spin without a care in the world.

We are an independent group of people who make observations based on information from the past and present to predict the future. Our identities are not known to the Military Council and we have no cause to go against their ideas. Our commitment to the current govt. and the support we currently give it will not waiver - it will become stronger and we will not deviate from this course.

For the bloggers of RFN and SV to go to the extent of formulating ideas as to who we really are only goes to show the level of frustration that has built up in their camps as they spew their rage while trying to destroy our blog. We have read many comments and we acknowledge them all - after all, your rage is what fuels us to blog you where it hurts. Do not be decieved into thinking that the above mentioned people are associated with this blog as they are not. They are hard working individuals who have sacrificed a lot for this country and we stand by them with heads held high. We see ourselves as the reformers of the RFN and SV blogs - our voice will not be silence no matter how much you throw profanity at us or try to discredit us using your filthy tactics. We work hard to help this country forward and this probably explains why we don't blog like the RFN and SV bloggers who spend their every waking moment telling the world lies about Fiji and its people. We blog when necessary in order to make the world aware of our views and where we stand regarding issues regarding this country.

It is amusing to read that the RFN bloggers spoke to members (or claim to have sources) of the Military Council about our blog. We again wish to remind the doting idiots of the RFN blog that our objectives are separate from the Military Council and we will achieve our results in a different way despite our objectives being the same - the betterment of this country and its people. So we invite the RFN bloggers to continue with their ridiculous blogs which carry no water unlike ours which seems to have struck fear into the hearts of the evildoers. It is wise for them to remember that our identities are going to remain the same as the RFN bloggers - anonymous simply because we know you're worried that one of those among you may be part of our group who is silently feeding us information about you and your doings. Do not be worried - your best friends are your enemies poised wth daggers as you walk without realizing that your work is about to be undone just like the RFC website ended up.

We will continue to monitor your movements and we will blog to let our voices be heard - let no man think that we will be silenced for we are here for this country and its people!!!

Forgive the Sinners

We hope the ardent (and blind) fans of RFN and SV have been watching the news. A short while ago, the Kean sought forgiveness from the family of the man he had killed - it was accepted and as a penance, Kean has offered to pay the children's education fees right through to tertiary level.

For those who had been calling him a murderer and harping on about his guilt, nothing can be further said to express this man's sorrow for what he did and his earnestness to seek forgiveness for his actions. The widow forgave him and we wish the RFN and SV bloggers could do the same instead of merely criticising a man who is sorry for his actions. Obviously the devil worshippers have not had the opportunity to read from the Bible otherwise they would have learned that "let he who is without sin cast the first stone." This is expected from a group of bloggers who spend their time sitting on the Bible or kicking it around and then blogging about the actions of this govt. We wonder what Jesus would have done in this situation - very likely spat in the face of the the RFN and SV bloggers who are hypocrites at the very least.

To add salt to the wounds of the bloggers (and we do so enjoy doing that and watching you squirm in agony), the Fiji TV news ran a story about how the people of Fiji were doing what they were best at - rebuilding their lives and looking ahead without waiting for govt. action. They have shown the lazy and ill-bred RFN and SV bloggers that they have the courage to take up their lives from where it was destroyed -Parmesh Chand's presence in the flood stricken areas shows the govts. commitment in ensuring that all areas affected are taken care of. At this juncture, we would like to express our dissatisfaction over the behavior of some members of the public who are taking advantage of the current situation and taking more then one food ration. This has been particularly noticed in the Indian communities. Please do not become greedy and show your true Indian nature of being greedy and hogging all the food thus depriving other people from feeding their families. Learn to share like the Fijians who waited patiently for their rations.

We end this blog of today on this note: the RFN and SV bloggers are sadly misguided (as they have been since birth) if they think their blogs will hold up much longer against the onslaught we have been giving and have more to give - the people are now seeing both sides of the coin and our side is the truth. How much longer will you continue to deceive the people of this country with your lies and hypocrisy?

Why Democracy Does Not Work

As our efforts to help rebuild the homes of those shattered by natures forces continue, the ravings of the madmen at RFN and SV also continue in their vain efforts to discourage us from our work. We have read your letters and we will continue to spurn you because of the dogs you truly are. In the hopes of recovering their shattered yarn which we are the cause of, the RFN and SV bloggers now assume that the speech written by the PM on the day of the takeover was written by the AG. How misguided the foolish bloggers are! We all know that the speech was written by the Commander himself and the wordings were chosen carefully to ensure that each person in this country understood the situation.

For the bloggers to continue to assume that this blog is maintained by the AG because of his technical abilities, you are sadly still mistaken - but we know you would be extremely surprised when we reveal ourselves to you some day because we are certain you did not expect to be attacked by us. We are a group of people who will not be distracted from our cause and we remind the doting idiots of both blogsites that we will stop our responses when you support our cause instead of blogging against your fellow men and women who are helping those in this time of need. In addition to this, the people who claimed that the military was not doing anything, we believe that you have become blinded by your own stupidity as the military has been out on the ground helping rebuild shelters and schools.

The current issue that we feel needs to be highlighted is the recent release of Francis Kean. Kean, as you all must be aware, was found guilty of murder and sentenced accordingly. During the days of the Yellow Ribbon campaign, it was you bloggers who believed in its cause because you had a stupid (and unbridled) hope that people such as George Speight and his group of clowns would be released. This was not to be and your frustration is no doubt abound after Kean's release. We ask why you did not complain when Kunatuba was released and given a job? We wonder why you choose to complain because one man was released and given back his life and reputation in society? Is it because he is not one of you and refuses to be blindsided by your petty rhetoric's and instead chooses to look towards the future and shares our vision of a different Fiji? Or perhaps it is because unlike most Fijians who are in jail, Kean happens to have truly reformed whereas the remainder refuse to undertake the rehabilitation projects which could change the lives of your relatives in prison? Kean was outstanding in his behavior during his stint in prison and undertook to sharing his knowledge and skills with other inmates. He was found to be courteous and ensured that he did what was expected of him. So why the disparity now that he is released? Do the principle's of the Yellow Ribbon project not apply to him? Why not? After all, he is a prisoner who was subjected to the same level to treatment as other prisoners. He did not receive his salary as erroneously stated by the dysfunctional RFN and SV blog sites so we fail to understand why such a lie was told to the readers of the aforementioned sites.

Our task is to take Fiji to the 2010 elections and despite the rubbish being spewed by the RFN and SV blogs that this will not happen, we disagree. Democracy does not work all the time, however, we are willing to give it another chance in 2010 and hope this time the people have enough sense to vote in leaders who will take Fiji forward for the good of the nation instead of filling their pockets. However, if that fails, then the govt. will be removed again and even God will once again not be able to stop us as he failed miserably in 05 December.

Complaints directed towards the government or the political structure have been part of our lives ever since the first governments arose. There is a difference, however, between past and present western civilizations: democracy. Criticism is an essential part of any democracy, as it allows us to influence our government and thereby ensure it represents the public will. However, the continuous dissatisfaction of citizens in democratic societies with their government indicates they do not feel represented at all. This results in a negative attitude of the citizen towards the government that will increase the gap between politics and the public. The source of this malfunctioning of democracy can be found in the emphasis on the individual, that is so explicitly present in modern society.

Our modern individualism leads to a divergence of the goals of government and citizen: what the governments want differs from and thus does not represent the will of the people. Politicians strive for what is best for society as a whole, whereas the individual in an individualistic society will strive for what is in his own, personal benefit: “the thought that the human is a creature that is directed towards values [...] for which one should make some concessions, has completely disappeared.”1 As the average of all these individual wishes does not necessarily represent that what is best for society as a whole, individualism leads to a difference in interest between government and citizen.

Due to the divergence of public and governmental will a difference evolves between the criteria used by the public and those the government itself uses to judge its performance. If the government strives for different goals than the individual, the idea of what is a good political policy will differ similarly. Consequently, the criteria the public uses to judge the policy as executed by its government will not correspond with the governmental criteria. Therefore, a government might achieve its goals and yet be regarded as a failure by the public.

The lack of representational power and the subsequent negative judgements lead to a negative attitude amongst citizens towards politics. The criticism the public has of their government seems to remain unanswered, since no government can serve all personal desires of each individual. The public senses its criticism lacks influence on the performance of politics, and thus distrust towards the political institutions arises.

Eventually, if no change is made, the public will turn away from politics entirely and therefore politics will become increasingly incapable of knowing and representing the public opinion. This is caused by a negative spiral that follows inevitably from the current situation: the distrust increases the distance between government and citizen, and therefore increases the feeling of lack of power of the public on the government, and the incapability of this government to represent the public.

So we see the three fundamental aspects of democracy: representation of the public by the government, influence and control of the public towards the government, and a feeling of engagement and trust, are more and more destructed by individualism. Democracy increasingly seems to fail, and it is, for the greater part, our individualistic society that is to blame.

The Vision

As we focus our efforts on helping the victims of the recent disaster, we cannot help but pause for a moment to respond to some of the comments made of late by the SV and RFN bloggers who, as we all now realize are utter fools and don't seem to really know whether they're coming or going.

To examine the issue let us take the following comment from the dim witted bloggers at RFN:

In their blog posts, the junta, or rather, its interim AG Khaiyum, has given everyone a wonderful opportunity to take a microscopic view into the inner recesses of their thinking behavior and thought processes. (Source)

We're a little surprised as to how bloggers with IQ's lower then that of the common paramecium have been able to deduce that this blog page has been created by the respected AG and that he would spend time doing our job of being watchdog of blogs which have been for far too long been given the opportunity to run rampant and malicious stories which have no substance. Obviously the bloggers have not been carefully studying the wording used in each blog. No, bloggers, we walk freely amongst you and we choose not to have any military guards with us.

Our purpose is defined and we are resolute in our decisions to counter the libelous claims made by the bloggers. We are deeply disappointed that the RFN and SV bloggers have chosen to take this path in this time of need when their fellow brethren suffer from natures wrath. While on this topic, we note that the govt. has once again been blamed for the current disaster by a blogger who stated that this was a punishment sent to Fiji by God. We assure the bible bashers who frequently invoke God's name in every event that God certainly does not play politics and has absolutely no cause for such a move unless he too is an extremist and supports the SDL and its racist policies.

Nonetheless, we are not going to be diverted from our task of rebuilding the nation and we take this opportunity to thank the Australian and NZ govts. for their contributions of late and their acknowledgment of the true island spirit where we come together to help out a friend in need. The fact that they have come together with financial support shows that our differences of late will not be allowed to be blown out of proportion as the the blogger twits at RFN and SV have so arduously tried to. Nothing is impossible and we remain confident that the govts. will be able to find a suitable solution forward. This solution will not, unfortunately, involve any past commissioners of the two countries as we need a fresh direction to bring the countries together and to help when we have elections next year.

On the topic of elections, we also note that several bloggers made the foolish statement that the election promise of next year is merely a carrot dangled for the donkey. We disagree as we will be having elections next year and this is no carrot. Our work is nearly done and we have secured several loopholes that were introduced by the SDL in their quest for the promotion of corruption and greed. Our systems will ensure that no govt. in the future will be able to act for its own personal benefit and any moves will be purely in the interest of the people of this country who, by right, voted them into power. This does not mean that we will remain idle. Our vision is clear and we will speak out whenever we feel that the govt. is deviating from its promises to the people.

Where we feel that the govt. is no longer capable of managing its affairs, options will be presented to them - the last option is the dissolution of the govt. under the directives of the President and the military will be asked to fill the shoes of the govt. until the country is once again going in the right direction.

For anyone to assume that the days of coup's are over, we assure you that they are not. Far from it, coup's ensure that the govt. does not become complacent and begin to engage in acts of corruption. We will continue to purge the govt. whenever we feel that there is a need. The country needs to understand the corruption breeds poverty and all things evil - we will not allow this because too much corruption makes it difficult to stabilize an economy.

We ask the RFN and SV bloggers to work with us to take the country forward to ensure that Fiji does not need another coup to rid it of corrupt politicians like Vosanibola, Qarase and Bale who took this country down hell and had the coup not been executed when it was, we would all be burning in the fires of hell and probably living in the same state of imbalance as is seen in Zimbabwe today.

A big Vinaka Tonga, from the bottom of our hearts!!!

We picked up this article from Fiji Today:

Tonga with a population of 219,000 has given assistance of US$60,000 (FJ$ 108,570).

Our nearest neighbors have excelled and deserve to be recognized for this offer.

This equates to 50 cents from every man woman and child.

To match this Australia would have to give $10.4 million dollars and New Zealand give $2.06 million and China $400 million.

Everyone seems to have missed the staggering size of this offer

This donation needs to be recognized.

The govt. recognizes and thanks the people of Tonga for their contribution. No doubt, the PM will be personally called the Tongan PM to convey his heartfelt thanks and best wishes for the extremely generous contribution. We realize that this is the true Pacific way of selfless giving from countries such as Tonga which reinforce our commitment and relationships with the country and its people. NZ and Australia would do well to remember that every gesture whether it is kind or unkind will be returned in kind. This govt. did not ask Tonga to make a contribution of such a magnitude but the people there obviously care a lot for our people so much so that a heavy contribution was made to help the people of Fiji.

A big Vinaka Vakalevu from the people of Fiji and those who are in dire need of such assistance.

To the RFN and SV bloggers: take note that while you go up against the people of your own country, our brothers and sisters from a foreign land recognize our commitment and have shown their support for us - isn't it time you also stopped crying and joined hands to take the nation forward?

Tea for the Needy

Just this morning, we were praising the RFN site for its ability to see through the muck and see the right things. We find it rather distasteful now to have to say we were mistaken about the site. In no less then three articles, the site shows its true colors by discrediting the PM's Tea which was held to get much needed funds for the flood victims. Instead of focusing on the good that the tea session had produced the site does itself a great injustice by accusing the PM of having tea - can you not see beyond this and see how much money was generated in less then thirty minutes? Are you so blind that you cannot see that every possible means is being used to ensure that money is available for the poor and needy of the flood?

We know that sometimes such things may seem a little out of the ordinary but obviously the fools at SV and RFN have not heard that extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures! How much have the sods at RFN and SV contributed? Not one saqamoli and they have the gall to criticise the hard work being done by the PM and the Disaster Teams.

It is outrageous that the RFN bloggers can be so naive at a time when their fellow men need their help that they choose to bicker and chant about the methods used for collecting donations. It boggles us that people are generally supposed to have the common sense to see the right things - obviously the RFN and SV bloggers have become so cross-eyed that they cannot see whats right and wrong. Instead they choose to behave like children - perhaps if a few of their families members were drowned or if they had all their belongings taken away from them will they then realize how stupid they look when they stand on the banks and ridicule the hard efforts being made by other people. For once the RFN and SV bloggers need to get off their high horse and also get something going. If they had any common sense, they would have held a soli of some kind to get money flowing in for the needy.

Because we now have to get back to tending to the needy, we end our blog here and say a prayer for those badly affected and those who have lost their lives - we will remember you in our hearts and prayers. To the RFN and SV bloggers, may God smite you for worshiping the devil who seems to have led you astray and throw your families and you into the deepest and darkest recesses of hell.

A Silver Lining in the Clouds

We would like to thank this opportunity to thank the RFN bloggers for acknowledging the work being done by the PM and his presence at various grief stricken areas of Fiji. We missed blogging yesterday as plans were being made on how to transport some much needed relief for people this weekend. The PM is right in saying that

we should not rush to start rebuilding just yet because another two depressions are on their way and they will simply bring us back to square one.

At this moment, our efforts should be concentrated on getting villagers to higher ground and providing some relief for those unable to move.

At a time of such crisis, the RFN blog site has produced a few interesting articles and we thank them for their efforts in supporting us in that manner. We also thank our readers for their comments and support shown during this time of strife - this is indeed how Fiji should be and how the world should be; coming together at a time of crisis to work as one. The FNPF will be advised accordingly soon to ensure that members seeking to withdraw funds for rebuilding their shattered lives are able to do so. However, this will very likely be set to a cases by case basis to ensure there is no possibility on a run on the organization and members do not simply withdraw money and use it for trifling things. We are of the understanding that members will possibly need the funds for their school children, food and stock to replenish their broken homes and support for such ventures will be provided soon.

Comments have been forthcoming on other blogs as well and we understand that a few blogs have put up pictures of flooded areas. We thank these blogs for their articles as this helps tourists understand the extent of damage in Fiji and why it is important they do not travel unnecessarily around Fiji during this crisis.

Tourists who chose to ignore local warnings and still come to Fiji need to understand that the govt. will not be in a position to provide them as much support as they expect because the citizens of this country will be given the first priority.

Tourists need to contact their local commissions and determine a way out as warnings had been issued locally and in other countries about the dangers of travelling to Fiji during this weather cycle. So, tourists who are currently critical of the lack of support given by the govt. to them should be mindful that they put themselves in a position of danger - we did not ask them to.

The SV site has not stopped their ridiculous charade, even during such a time to come down from their pearch and help as the RFN bloggers have done. They continue to sit and crow like toothless tigers being washed out to sea on a fast melting bed of ice. We eagerly await the ice to fully melt and drown the beasts. For once, we had wished that they would be understanding and it seems that only RFN are willing to work for change instead of griping like SV has been doing. We wonder if the SV bloggers have a conscience or families for that matter? We think they have neither as they have nary a thought for the victims of the recent disasters and instead have remained in their warped little world to continue to be critical of a govt. which is doing all it can in such a calamity despite all odds. This stance taken by SV shows their true colors - a group of people who have no care for the victims of the flood and instead choose to harp on about the govts. failures instead of seeing the hard work being done by the military, police and other govt. members. It is unfortunate that SV chooses to see the cup from the perspective of it being half empty - we see it as half full and will continue to be positive in our efforts.

We will end this blog by saying that we ask those in a position to help to do so instead of merely sitting around with deviants such as Tui Savu who have concocted a new scheme to scam money out of other bloggers. We know that none of the money collected will ever reach the victims and instead it will be used to fund Tui Savu's personal wealth and his binge drinking sprees.

School Term Opening Date

In order to show the world the ridiculous statement by the RFN and SV bloggers about the govt. not deferring the school opening date, we hereby publish the following:

Due to the unfavourable weather conditions, the beginning of the school year, for all schools in Fiji, has been deferred to the January 26, 2009.

Once again, the SV and RFN bloggers have shown the public their stupidity by putting the cart before the horse. After deliberations, it was decided to do this as students who are borders and those who have to travel great distances would be inconvenienced. As such, the decision was made to defer the school opening. We hope this clarifies the stupid article published by SV whereby they accuse the govt. of not deferring the school opening dates - please have patience in the future and not jump the gun as you are always doing. For once, try to see things from a realistic perspective instead of the racially skewed one you are currently viewing the world through.

Elections and Comments

A blogger left a comment under the impression that we moderate comments. We do not moderate any comments placed on this site and we respond only when required. Thank you for your comments and we look forward to reading more of them as time goes on

As such, the SV and RFN sites have not had the courage to give their members the level of freedom to post what they like because of the fear that the number of supporters of this govt. may overwhelm the few who believe they are the majority. After observing the two blog sites for a year, we have learned that the majority of the bloggers make very little positive contributions to the blogs and those that do blog are extremely racist and choose to remain under the impression that this country belongs well and truly to the Fijian race. It is sad that this view is still being held at a time when multi-racialism and cross cultures are predominant on a global level. We are of the view that the country can no longer remain singular and that indigenous Fijians must learn to accept other races and work with them in order to build a better Fiji.

We still remember the early days of the Resist-RFC website and have retained copies of all comments made during the time. Based on the comments, we can easily see how much aggravation was displayed by racist despots in the wild fervor to counter our facts. We are here to stay and until the elections of 2010, this country will have to work with this govt. without question. The PM has made it painstakingly clear that until our work is complete, we will not be moved. The issue of debate currently is the lack of support shown by the govt. in aiding the victims of the recent natural disaster. We believe otherwise. We believe that the appropriate ministries are involved at the ground level and see no need for the PM to intervene where good work is being done. Already the DISMAC team have begun to analyse the extent of the damage and accordingly it is expected that funding will be sought across various ministries in order to prepare a financial solution which would be spread across the wide spectrum of Fiji. Perhaps in a time of crisis, the SV and RFN bloggers should put down their swords for once and join in the restoration of lives and provide support to those who need it.

It is unfortunate that a group which can do so much for the needy at this time choose to rant from their hideouts while we walk freely among the people of this land who support us and have continued to show support even during times of strife. One of the notable factors of the recent SV and SV.org sites is that the SV site has a fanatical need to reach the 1,000,000 hit mark. We fail to see what this figure is going to achieve and this is very much akin to the March 2009 election deadline set by other countries - nothing will happen this year and we give you our assurance that an election schedule will be set for 2010 and we urge you to work with us in order for this time to be achieved. Having elections this year cannot take place in the time frame suggested because schools will be running and the manpower required for such manoeuvres is significant to the extent where the school's will be required to close during election period. As such, elections will be held during the eight week school holidays of 2010.

Resistance within the Camp

Our blog is attracting attention based on the comments left on certain articles. Today, we will look the involvement of the Australian military and its actions with the SDL govt.

It is no big secret that the Australian Navy was sent with a full load of soldiers and ammunition before the coup. For an Australian platoon to assume that they could simply walk into Fiji and takeover key positions in order to subdue the military is laughable.

Before the coup, the commander had given several press statements and also made submissions to the CC (Council of Chiefs) about the need to remove the controversial Qoliqoli and RTU bills. The SDL govt. had responded to these statements by going to the President while the Commander was away from the country and asking that the Commander be removed from his position. The President agreed as he was acting on the advice from Qarase. The position was then offered to another key figure in the military, Meli Saubulinaiyau, who declined the position by stating that "he did not command the full respect of the military." It is important to note this point because Saubulinaiyau stated that he did not command the respect of all military officers. What he did not know was that the Commander had already begun his own internal investigation to seek out those who were opposing him and his plans to take the country in a new and improved direction.

Saubulinaiyau made the greatest mistake by saying the words he uttered on that fateful day. The fact that he was even chosen by the President indicated to the Commander that Saubulinaiyau was not follwing his plans and in addition to this, the words he uttered only served to reinforce the claims. In fact, it is known that during their discussion, the Commander had told Saubulinaiyau that "your claim that you did not have the full support of the military has only served to prove the point that you are not a loyal soldier. From your comments, it can be seen that had you had the full support of the military, you would have accepted the position and had me removed." Even a fool can see that those words ring true. Had Saubulinaiyau had the support of the military, he would have definitely moved into the shoes of the Commander and ensured that the military aligned itself with the govt. and also supported the controversial bills.

In the midst of all the ruckus appeared Baledrokadroka. Unaware that he was also being monitored, Baledrokadro was using his position to amass a group of soldiers who would arrest the Commander and neutralize him then a new Commander would be appointed. To test his loyalty to the military, the Commander gave Baledrokadroka an instruction which Baledrokadroka says "An order posted on Sunday was hard for me to understand but eventually I deciphered it as being treasonous and I refused to obey it," This was a clear cut case of mutiny and refusal to obey a direct order which the Commander quickly controlled and had Baledrokadroka removed from the camp altogether. In the days leading up to the whole saga, the Commander said that Baledrokadroka had been dismissed for insubordination and for failing the loyalty test of the Military. The command which Baledrokadroka had refused to obey had only been a test, which he had failed miserably, the Commander claimed. He had been willing to give Baledrokadroka another chance, he said, but Baledrokadroka had made matters worse by talking to the media. He accused Baledrokadroka of trying to elicit support from soldiers. Accordingly, the Military had "isolated" Baledrokadroka in his office and the Military's legal team had reasoned with him to persuade him not to attempt a mutiny. Baledrokadroka claimed to have confronted the Commander and told him that his intentions were treasonous, and asked for his resignation. "I asked the commander for his resignation on the grounds that it was perfectly clear that he was going to commit treason ... I told him it was either he resign or I resign." Both Baledroka and Saubulinayau were acting not in the interest of the nation or their Commander, but for personal gains and we now know that both individuals were working closely with the SDL party and had also had subsequent meetings with party officials.

So, we can now see that mutiny, treachery and deception were the order of the day - something considered appropriate by the SDL govt. If this does not open the eyes of the RFN and SV bloggers, we are truly surprised at how much more a blind eye they choose to turn to the reality of the situation. They are supporting a group of despots and individuals who became extremely desperate to retain their power because of the corruption and greed that had taken over them. It is acknowledged that the SV and RFN bloggers choose to champion their cause over the Malasebe death. There is sufficient evidence to show that Malasebe attempted to assault the arresting officers and in addition to this, he was a hardened criminal who chose to use desperate meaures at time where he could easily have gone with the officers for questioning.

Those who had witnessed the affair later agreed that the individual had attempted to use force on the officers and when attempts were made to subdue him, he turned violent and as such, the officers were required to use extra-ordinary force. His death should not be seen as one of a martyr and the RFN and SV bloggers need to realize that his death is of no consequence to the govt. The death of a prisoner who has robbed and lied his way through life by depriving the rights of his victims is not fit for this world. Over the days that went by after his death, many callers to popular radio stations all agreed that Malasebe died because of his actions. Malasebe was a criminal and his death was seen as a tragedy when in fact it was a blessing. Supporters of Malasebe perhaps forgot about the emotional scars he had left on his victims and how many of them would have to rebuild their lives again?

Perhaps the SV and RFN bloggers were not victims of Malasebe - we wonder what their stand would have been had they been in the shoes of the victims?
