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.
