Satendra Nandan

Well well well... words going around the bushes is that this so called academic is being touted as our beloved country's next Vice-President.

That could very explain why he called this coup "the lesser of two evils".

Folks, dont be surprised about his appointment.

Remember you heard it here first.

Oh!! The Irony..

Does it take two wrongs to make a right or one wrong and one right to make it right...??????

It's very very confusing...

Some of the words below are quoted from the Fiji Times.

In 2004 George Speight, Rt. Timoci Silatolu & Josefa Nata apologised and wanted to present a Matanigasau to Koila Nailatikau (Mara's daughter) but she downright rejected it because "she was still reeling from the death of her parents within three months of each other in 2004 and would not accept any apology."

Ok! I really feel for her and understand where she's coming from. Anyone of us in the same situations would have done the same.

She then said that "the culture of coups must be discouraged and that was why she refused to accept any political reconciliation."

She also labels the President Rt. Josefa Iloilo and then PM Laisenia Qarase as "principal beneficiaries of the coup".

Now, we're getting reports that she is in line along with her younger brother Ro Ului for the Vice-Presidents post. Doesnt that make her a principal beneficiary of the coup??

Now, hold up a second.........

If she really is against coups, then why did she not discouraged her husband from taking up the post of Interim Minister for Foreign Affairs. Why was she silent now and not speak out against the culture of coups?

Put Your Money Where Your Big-Mouth Is...

I was going through a fellow bloggers (Intelligentsiya) site today and this comment from an annonymous who was pro-coup caught my eye:

"What would hurt you guys more is a snap referendum today would clearly reveal that 82% of the population support the removal of the corrupt Qarase regime. By the way I'm a full blooded Fijian."

First of all, if you and your Sugar Daddies up at Delainabua were willing to put money where your big fat mouth is and have a referendum OR better yet a Democratic Election, will the whole of Fiji and the World see how much support you really have. Why in 2010 or beyond??? Why not NOW?

Secondly, who cares you're a full blooded Fijian. For all we know, you could be the child or relative of one of the current Illegal Interim Ministers or an Illegitimate bastard of Voreqe himself.

And in one of the dailies, a writer to the Editors column said that he "support the views of Dr Nadan that the December 2006 coup was the best coup we ever had."

"We, the silent majority, celebrated in our hearts that it was a necessity."

I get the feeling that this writer was a failed candidate in the last election and clearly using a pseudonym.
If they were really the silent majority, how come they didnt win the last elections??

Facts or Rumours..

I got this in my email last week. As the title says, it's up to you readers whether you believe it or not.
------------------------

For the good of Fiji and its people the interim PM should step down as proposed by the EPG Report. But we all know that he will not as he and others in his illegal regime know only too well what they're running away from.

The following are just some of those corrupt actions that deserve a "clean up" now reportedly underway.

1. The Military's opposition to having an audit carried out on its regiment fund may reveal how $5million was misappropriated to cover Voreqe's medical bills; to charter a plane to Ratu Sir Kamisese Mara's 90th birthday; and cover Adi Ateca Ganilau's trip to China.

2. How the President's signature was forged in a letter putting a stop to the inquiry into the military?

3. How in the hearing of a senior officer, Chaudhry and Bune gave the OK to Voreqe for the coup and that they will legalise it afterwards.

4. Voreqe approving the use of army quarters to Ratu Epeli Ganilau following the auction of his residence and of former President, Ratu Sir Penaia's house in Tamavua.

5. How Voreqe's wife had been allocated a military vehicle for personal use.


As the saying goes; what goes around comes around, so sooner or later the perpetrators will get their just rewards if not already.

News in Fiji is that soldiers and their families have been busy with funerals. Latest one is for the officer in charge of the round up of the Nakelo man who later died in military custody.

Another soldier who reported his church minister to the military over his sermon which raised criticism of the coup, later sought forgiveness from the minister but later died. This was after the minister was taken to the camp and when ordered to do the run around, refused and dared the soldiers to shoot him if they want. When released, the minister prophesised that a mishap would befall whoever reported him to the military.

Also there appears to be friction and clashes at the Camp where Voreqe and Pita Driti reportedly traded blows which prompted Voreqe's guards to join in resulting in a trip to hospital by Pita Driti. The quarrel was over Voreqe declining to return to Camp and not be PM as apparently part of the original military plan.

Matters are certainly falling apart when it is conceived with deceit, greed and fraudulent motives.

Well, if it is indeed true, then things are not lookins so rosy up in Delainabua.

Daily Post

I'd like to take this opportunity to publicly thank the Daily Post for printing on their fron-page the website addresses of all blogs that the military wants shut down.

If it wasnt for that, I would have never known about Intelligentsiya and the other bloggers out there.

To all you other freedom fighters, keep up the fight against this illegal regime.

Vice-President's Post

Rumour has it that the Military & the Interim Minister of Fijian Affairs has already approached someone close to them to take up the post. Someone they could manipulate, someone who agrees with 'everything' the military says.

The 1997 Constitution wasn't abrogated so it's still the law. It is also clear in the Constitution that the GCC nominates whoever should take up the post of President and Vice-President. And it is also common knowledge that their is an unwritten agreement between the various Chiefs that the post be rotated between the 3 confederacies - Kubuna, Tovata and Burebasaga.

Rt. Josefa Iloilo is from the Burebasaga confederacy and the post of VP should go to Kubuna, and that was why Rt. Joni Madraiwiwi held the post.

But, if the rumours are true, then we might see someone from the Tovata confederacy taking up this vacant post. This candidate who is a former military officer is the son of a former statesman.

I'm not going to name any names but Ro Ului knows who he is.

And who better to nominate him than his brother-in-law who is also the Interim Minister of Fijian Affairs, Epeli Ganilau.

Stay Tuned folks.

Retirement Age Policy

I just realised something.

Does the policy also cover the Ministers and Military officers or just Civil Servants??

I know for a fact that majority of the top honchos at Delainabua are over 55, so are they to be made reduntant as well.

Where's The Proof???

Months have passed and the Fiji public still hasn't seen an ounce of evidence to support the coup. We were told that the SDL government was corrupt, full of nepotism and taking the nation to the brink of economic downfall.

Ironic when the RFMF chose Chaudry to lead the Finance Ministry when he himself was guilty of nepotism in 1999. Poseci Bune swindle taxpayers money when he was Fiji's Ambassador to the UN to fund his election campaign in 1999. Epeli Ganilau abused the Military's Regimental Funds and covered it up by promoting his boy to the post of Commander.

Commander also used the Regimental funds to pay his overseas medical bills. He later stopped the Auditor-General from auditing this fund. Further prove to the fraud and corruption.

The Anti-Corruption unit is led by a corrupt officer who is merely a puppet of the Attorney-General.

We have some Interim Ministers who failed to get voted into parliament in the last democratic election.

We're being led by a someone who has never been to a warzone, some one who ran down cassava plantations fearing for his life, instead of standing firm and fighting. Now he's trying to be tough on civilians by brutally assaulting them, sexually molesting females and to top it off, the death of two innocent men.

Will we ever see those soldiers be trialed for the murder? Is the police capable of continuing their job without orders from Delainabua?

Then again, another military puppet has been given the top cop post.

To all freedom fighters out there, do NOT be feared by the intimidating tactics used by this cowardly soldiers.

Lets all stand up and be counted.

Down with Dictatorship!!
