In one of my letters regarding Qarase’s dialogue with Bainimarama, I quoted Qarase speaking after the Wellington talks concerning Bainimarama’s mental state ‘we are dealing with somebody completely deranged and unstable, so that is part of the problem.’
The questioned I posed was how has Bainimarama’s mental state improved over the past 18 months making him competent and reliable to deal with?
His recent threats about No Charter – No Elections and now the illegal regime and Military will ensure that SDL does not contest the General Elections in 2009 because it opposes the People’s Charter and NCBBF, is conclusive evidence of how utterly incompetent and unreliable he is.
I had exhorted the Military Council to put a stop to the illegal regime, but it seems from Bainimarama’s statement they are in cahoots.
Does this mean the illegal regime and Military Council will also prevent the NFP & UPP from contesting the General Elections, as they too oppose the People’s Charter and NCBBF?
What does Bainimarama and the Military Council say to the 85% of the 14 Fijian Provinces, including his own Province Tailevu, which have rejected the People’s Charter and NCBBF?
Will the illegal regime and Military Council also prevent people from these Provinces from standing in the Elections as well?
Bainimarama’s constant changing grounds makes it impossible for any competent person to take him seriously.
As soon as a policy or directive is not fulfilled, he makes threats against the majority who resist it and adds further pre-conditions before General Elections will be held.
He and his illegal regime have become so disillusioned in their own quagmire of illegality, that they fail to realise their repulsiveness.
The illegal regime suffers from an inferior complex, therefore all challenges are met with threats, as they lack the ability to objectively distinguish constructive criticism.
Khaiyum’s concession that President Iloilo had already granted immunity to the Military, is finally admission by the illegal regime’s chief Legal Advisor, that the coup was illegal!
Bainimarama has portrayed over and over again, that he lacks the moral fortitude to engage in proper and constructive dialogue.
I urge Qarase, NFP, UPP and the majority of people of Fiji to review their current tactics and change their strategy in engaging with the illegal regime because to remain passive and be reactionary is exactly what they envisage and hope for.
However, when the shoe is on the other foot, the illegal regime will, it is my belief will be found wanting.

Referring to your quote regarding Qarase’s comments regarding VB’s mental state – there was a rumor, albiet first hand, that he had also said that it had stemmed from VB’s treatment at the hands of Speight’s CRW soldier’s attack at the barracks in 2002(?)
This point may be the subject of a later memoir or psychiatric evaluation.
But it should be interesting.
May 27, 2008 at 1:56 am
Whatever goes UP must come DOWN!!!!
Voreqe is a definite case of psychiatric evaluation IF he could only see it.
It is sooooo sad really that he can\’t see what we see huh? And that goes for all the NCBBF people and charter etc etc.
Yes, we want to move the country forward but for him and them to accuse us of NOT wanting to move the country forward by our criticisms and using the \”it\’s in the courts\” bull, is not on anymore.
That\’s what we have been saying ALL THE TIME….WE DO NOT WANT AND NEED ANYMORE COUPS!!!!!!!!

The future case for psychiatric evaluation are those bloggers and all others who believe that voreqe is the saviour chosen by God to save Fiji.
May 27, 2008 at 4:27 am
Trues up! Jose…put Voreqe, his merry-men, the opportunists, the illegal ministers, the NCBBF and charter promoters, and bloggers like Budhau on the HMS No COme Back and ship them all to St. Giles.
No need for a psychiatric evaluation. Take them all and put them all in a room They can then sort out their own problems.
Really, the saviour-of-Fiji mentally is really entrenched in Voreqe\’s and his supporters\’ minds that they totally believe he is our miracle worker.
We will still hope and pray for the best for our present and our future.
May 27, 2008 at 5:50 am
Word on the grapevine is “Voreqe Bainimarama has Pickering bloodlines like the Mataitinis”………..Point here is “parkinsons disease” is a good possibility. A certain Lillian Fletcher nee Mataitini residing in Sydney, Aust was diagnosed with Parkinsons 8 years ago and she is only 48.
Voreqe Bainimarama also has diabetes in his family.

Tui;
Solution for SDL:(1) Plan for March09 to the tee including logistics to campaign at all constituency.If the election commision is planning to change the boudaries,Im otimistic that it would not deviate very much from what was used in 06.
(2) The SDL should be mocking and vocal in their hesitancy to move towards common roll. At the end of the day,it would be detrimental to the strategy of the illegal regime.
(3)Be prepared to launch 40 to 60 independents and then form a coalition of independents to have a government.
(4)Qarase and his SDL teammates must plan an effective way around Frank and his military council bearing in mind that a direct collision can only end up with another military takeover.This might be obvious but needs to be mentioned.By now ,we all know that Frank is a no brainer.A head that is empty and running on butt gas.Everytime he opens his mouth he spews out poison.The sad part is that he will never realize it because those with him are too scared to tell for fear of losing their jobs.
(5)Passive resistance.I would prefer to have Josateki Koroi bury the hatchet with the Methodist church and formulate a peaceful resistance movement that is activated every Saturday and Sundays.Those in civil service are to be cautious and do the behind the scene phase.Multi-faceted protest marches dependinng on numbers to acquire signatures and deliver them to the pressie or district commish/officer,s.it is important to have 20 to 40 people in a group and no less than 200groups in action at one time.These could be the beginning to free Fiji from the tentacles of this illegal ragime that is creating unnecessary havoc and fear in our beloved Fiji and its population
May 27, 2008 at 6:30 am
Tui,that is what I said in your earlier letter concerning the military council.
How can the military council not support this illegal regime when the head of the regime is the leader of the council members.
The military council is an arm of the regime itself.
Here’s a fine example, the kutu sebe on the vore’s soresore is not an irritation ,but part of the appendage itself,se va ivei Kuts?????
May 27, 2008 at 8:58 am
Thats a good post above from Tui. The dicktaker’s insanity and rashness is making people in Fiji feel more and more insecure. I have a feeling that he is not going to change his stand regardless of opposition from the people. I think certain comments from some esteemed persons may have been unfortunate in that it has given some new avenues of holding the upper hand in this crisis. Mention of “immunity” and “he can do anything” only provides new conceited ideas which he is implementing right now via his stupid comments. This crazy maniac has to be contained somehow or the other. He obviously draws his source of power from the army and their firepower and not from the people which is dangerous for either side. It could be he would be toppled soon by arms which is good or he would entrench himself in the seat of power for as long he and his loyalists wants which is terrible.
May 27, 2008 at 9:21 am
So our lawyer boy has started to psychological analysis – hey Savu did you get an undergraduate degree in psychology.
BTW – a perfectly sane person can have the same stand as Bainimarama – you may not agree with that stand, and sometimes it might even look unreasonable – however, that does not necessarily make the guy mentally unstable.
..and Savu – since the provincial councils and the GCC have become political bodies – I do not think that you can say that just because these organizations are opposed to something – that necessarily translates into grassroots Fijian opposition.
Do you remember when these groups supported the new constitution – and when Chaudary won an election under that constitution – there were many Fijians who complained that they did not support that constitution and that they had no say in it.
So Savu – you cant have it both ways.
BTW – you could have easily made you point without getting into the question of Bainimarama’s mental health issue.

On this entry note then, I have been wondering, what\’s up with the freedom to congregate? Is that still NOT ALLOWED by Vore? I guess so, huh? Rere tiko vei koya.
I have always admired the White ladies of Cuba who walk every Sunday with a gladioli branch to protest about the imprisonment of their democracy fighter family members. They have done it religiously for years in communist Cuba for goodness sake (and won a peace prize for it btw)! Why can\’t Fiji law-abiding leaders not attached to this regime do something similar. I mean what will they do to a group of people walking peacefully? Shoot them?

@ Budhau,
since you know so much and accuse other bloggers and criticise my others kike, Tui Savu as a ‘wannabe lawyer’, are you prepared to say the same thing in the Daily Papers in Fiji using your real name?
If not, then shut up!
Coward!
May 28, 2008 at 7:21 am
Natewaprince – No theri ain’t no multiple PC’s with multiple internet connections.
You wanna try it – just cut and paste my name where your name goes and send in a message.
That is what that other “Budhau” guy is doing and others like that Taukei idiot.
As for me – as a general rule,, I only post under one name, I do not advocate violence, I do not use foul language, beside words like “kicking arse” once in a while.
Now, go explain that to Agent Fiji Democracy Now.

I meant ‘Boci.’

JW – there you go with you lack of logic and ability to reason.
If I should shut because I do nto use my real name – then, about 95% of the folks in here should also shut up – based on you reasoning.
BTW – in forums such as these – it is immaterial who the person is who posts these messages, what counts in what the message is.
So you want to take issue with anything that I have said – weel, besides when I was trying to kick the religious freaks ass in the forum a while back.
So JW – are you ready, go ahead, give me your best shot – or are you a coward?
May 28, 2008 at 7:27 am

Chief calls on provinces to respect Govt
28 MAY 2008
——————————————————————————–
Great Council of Chiefs taskforce chairman, Ratu Josateki Nawalowalo has called on the 14 provinces in Fiji to respect the initiatives by the interim Government as “it is for the good of everyone”.
He was reacting to comments made by the province of Cakaudrove regarding the stand taken by interim Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama who recently said if there is no Charter there will not be any elections.
“The choice was given to them and they didn’t allow us to actually carry out consultation with the province.”
“If Cakaudrove will not change their stance regarding the charter and the GCC process even though the PM has warned of no elections next year, then that’s fine.”
Ratu Josateki said it’s the prerogative of each province whether or not to support Government’s initiatives but the consequences are heavy.
“Their decision has not only affected the people of their province but also the nation as a whole because by declining to join these initiatives they are not doing any good at all.”
“We’ve got to understand that the interim government is in power at the moment so by resisting them is not a wise choice because it is up to them whether elections will be held or not.”
“They have a plan in taking the country forward so why not hold hands and see that this takes place for the betterment of everyone.”
Ratu Josateki said the country will continue to suffer if people with political affiliations continue to cloud the minds of people.

May 28, 2008 at 9:49 am
Budhau, what is your real name seeing that you are so tough and “kicking everybody’s ass” in this forum, so you say!
May 28, 2008 at 10:10 am
the military started this mess and they must take it away….otherwise the military & the iterim govt is running out of time & options. the best laternative is to retreat and backdown becoz once the revolution starts and the military injure one fijian human being…they r finished.
the fijian ppl may retreat becoz of gun & injury but the fact the soldiers/military opened fire on the fijians is testament these soldiers are now our enemies and must be KILLED.
this cause is not about the election, Qarase, SDL or Bainimarama this is now about freedom, security and future of Fiji & its ppl. this is not the Fiji I want and the life I want to continue to live.
Bainimarama – ELECTION MUST HAPPEN NO LATER THEN MARCH 2009. u soldiers will regret ever doing this coup. u will pay.
May 28, 2008 at 12:55 pm
With regard to $2’s call that we respect govt, respect for leaders is something that is earned. It is based on achievement and it follows from the voluntary appreciation of the people for the good things that leaders do. Dictators may be feared for killing people in their thousands and for the cruel and inhumane ways they deal with dissidents. But no gun totting thug, no matter how cruel, ever deserves respect. How can one respect a government that takes away jobs from those who have earned them and instils unemplyables such as Nawalowalo in power at the point of a gun? How can you respect thieves who pretend to be the saviours of a nation by stealing the will of the people? Respect? Abhorrance is more appropriate!
May 28, 2008 at 11:51 pm
Tui Savu has made a very important point which we’ve seen been posted by some bloggers in the past, which is to review our tactics on how we challenge Frank & the Interim Govt (including the military).
There has to be more visible opposition. T-shirts can be printed with “Free Fiji” or “Down with Tyranny” or “Freedom” or other words or phrases on the ground. People can wear these t-shirts on Saturdays when they’re watching rugby, soccer, netball or at the market, out shopping etc. You don’t have to say anything, the t-shirt says it all. Women’s groups used to wear Black on Thursdays in Fiji to show opposition to violence against women. Someone in Fiji can start this business (I’m not even close to Fiji so I can’t do it) and print t-shirts & start selling them at the Rock Market, Suva, Lautoka, Nadi, Labasa, Savusavu markets or other places. This allows people of different political, religious affiliations, races etc to show their opposition. The t-shirts can be produced cheaply – can someone please check this out. They can be sold for between $5-7!!
In solidarity!!!
