“This is the reality,” emphasised the dictator when stating in his “strategic framework” speech that elections wouid be held by September 2014.
Well, hold on a moment. It’s NOT the reality. It’s just a form of words trotted out by a corrupt tin-pot dictator with a long list of broken promises and pledges to his (greatly discredited) name.
No Frank, the “reality” is not some point five years into the future that you have nominated after getting the puppet president to abrogate the constitution.
The only reality that applies equally to you and to us, the people of Fiji, is the reality of what you are doing to Fiji today and what you are doing to us.
The reality is that we judge your acts of intimidation towards us and your reckless and cynical nmanipulation of our judiciary and institutions as nothing less than a crime against the people of Fiji.
The reality is that in two and a half years you have all but bankrupted the nation and, in the process, ruined many lives.
The reality is that many of our children can only get four days of schooling a week (if they are lucky) and you are doing nothing about it.
The reality is that our pension fund is being gutted and the documented cause of that is your gross mismanagement.
The reality is that have openly and publicly condone the criminal behavior of your comrades in arms, including killers like your brother-in-law and the killers of Nimolote Verbesaga.
The reality is that you have a case to answer for the unspeakably brutal murders of the five CRW soldiers in November 2000 and your coup and dictatorship is your defence mechanism to avoid facing justice.
So, Mr Dictator, don’t try to tell us what “the reality” is. We already know.

Dictator Frank Bainimarama’s speech full of hot air no one wants to believe
The wanker Franky spoke today
Awkay, so cranky Frank has spoken, spitted and spoke again.
He said, “A key objective of my Government has been and shall continue to be the engagement and/or re-engagement with our neighbors and our development partners. My appeal to the international community is that Fiji has and continues to seek engagement, not disengagement. The principles of internationalism and sovereign dignity require dialogue.”
Did we hear that right?
Poor Frank …. now he is beginning to realise what an insignificant little piece of shieet he is.
That his macho-man bush-bunny mentality is a laughable commodity that only hurts him more than the international community.
That without the big boys, he is pig manure.
Now he wants dialogue?
Get outta here Frank!
Who you trying to kid?
Frank went on to say, “My fellow citizens, your Excellencies what I am saying is that I and my Government have a vision to make Fiji realize its true potential – a potential that can be realized through building a strong nation state, by empowering all our citizens …”
Empowering all citizens?
Then why extend the public emergency regulation to December Frank?
Why censor the media and conference speakers?
Isn’t it all about empowering your thieving hands into the national kitty Frank?
Sorry bro, your speech doesn’t inspire nobody except the wankers around you!

Don’t count your chicks before they hatch Frank!
Frank Bainimarama’s self-imposed wish list is just that, a far-fetched wish conjured by his conniving think-tank to delay the process of keeping the tyrant and his backers away from their imminent life-long jail sentences.
Frank’s “roadmap to nowhere” is not even worth the paper it’s written on.
Like all his previous twisted lies and PR stunts since December 2006, Frank just can’t seem to be able to hold down any of his previous motherhood roadmaps.
His clean-up corruption roadmap only resulted in a plethora of self-enriching programmes designed to puff up his and his cohorts bank balances.
His farcical charter has turned out to be the works of professional con artists out to line their own pockets while fanning the dictator’s ego with their promise of a heavenly peace and prosperity crap for the ailing Fiji.
Frank’s pretentious role as a guardian of the 1997 Constitution turned shitty when he ordered half-dead Iloilo to join him in abrogating Fiji’s supreme law on Easter Friday.
Banana republic of Fiji is now being promised a new constitution. Really?
Pray you’ll be alive to see it Frank!

A roadmap to “nowhere”
With the expected announcement by the dictator of his “national roadmap” for Fiji just hours away, who is holding their breath?
No one, because we know the only thing Bainimarama’s dictatorship has achieved so far is the creation of pretence.
And experience has taught us that the dictator’s much vaunted announcement will just be more of the same.
There’ll be lots of hyperbole, but no sound logic or common sense. Just a set of objectives dressed up to look progressive, but transparently designed to entrench Frank Bainimarama’s power.
Simple analysis of nearly every major statement or action by the dictator since December 2006 shows that’s all he’s capable of.
And as blogger Keep the Faith so wryly notes in his most recent posting on Fiji Freedom Blogsite, intelligentsiya, the regime’s patently illegal status gives it no real foundation in the real world.
This, says Keep the Faith, is demonstrated by the “empty, expensive rhetoric” we keep hearing from the dictator.
At the end of the day, and despite all the words, the only thing the regime is capable of producing is the pretence that it is moving Fiji forward.
In reality, of course, the regime is moving us backwards.
As we have said before, the dictator’s roadmap will take our beloved nation nowhere!

CHURCH STAND
CHURCH STAND
The propaganda by the illegal tin pot dictator Bainimarama’s junta is so pervasive nowadays; that the mainstream news media are now spewing forth only information that the junta would like people to see, read and hear. Like Goebbel’s propaganda machine in Nazi Germany, those who hold and express opposing views are being hunted down and dealt with by the Military ‘SS’ and Police Commissioner Teleni’s ‘Gestapo’ units.
The detainment of Rev Lasaro a few weeks ago is a case in point. The Christian Citizenship role of the Methodist Church is to ensure ethical conduct in national governance in accordance with Christian principles. In pursuance of such divine calling, early missionaries of the Church have been instrumental, since arriving in Fiji in 1835, in taking such a stand. Even now, despite grave risks and threats, Ministers of the Church have stuck solidly to their moral high ground. Tin pot dictator Bainimarama is accusing the Methodist Church of being political. His illegal government has already announced that it will not allow the Church’s 2009 Rewa Conference to take place. While the Church and its congregation are now fasting and praying for divine guidance, it is expected that in the next few weeks, the Church will announce its stance on the Bainimarama junta’s directive concerning the conference. We have finally been able to obtain a copy of the stance of the Church which we reproduce hereunder.
We are of the view that Fiji has had enough of the insanity and the lies; we thank the Church for being true to its divine calling, in standing up to courageously point out to Bainimarama and his illegal regime the errors of its ways. Instead of impoverishing the people and dragging down the nation to its ruin, Bainimarama and his junta should heed the Church’s call for the restoration of basic freedoms and peoples’ dignity, and take the nation back to elections so the people may speak and elect those who will lead them towards a better life than what this illegal regime has given them.
Hereunder is the stand of the Methodist Church:
Methodist Church in Fiji & Rotuma
Stand of the Church Concerning the Current Political Situation
Since the abrogation of the Constitution and the reappointment of the Bainimarama regime by the President on 10 April 2009 following the Appeals Court ruling declaring invalid the Fiji high court decision supporting the President’s action in making valid the appointment of the Bainimarama interim government in January 2009, Fiji has gone through a potentially explosive crisis with suspension of basic rights and freedom, censorship of the press and a dramatic increase in poverty adding to increasing dependency and the greater impoverishment of a larger number of people.
The Church is charged with the responsibility to educate and instill Christian values and those of good citizenship among our people especially our children. In the light of existing circumstances, we are beginning to ask ourselves:
What have our children to learn when they see the illegal actions and misconduct of our national leaders?
What kind of role model are our government leaders of today offering our children and the world?
Can we expect better leaders of our children tomorrow, if our leaders act contrary to the law and the Constitution, and disrespect the basic rights of the people?
The Church must uphold God’s truth and His concern for human dignity.
The Bible teaches that citizens are not obligated in conscience to follow the prescriptions of civil authorities if their actions, precepts and policies are contrary to the demands of the moral order, to the fundamental rights of persons or to the teachings of the Gospel.
What is happening in Fiji today points to the State having lost its moral authority to govern, having become tyrannical against the people it is supposed to serve.
The Church, the Pacific Forum Leaders, the Commonwealth and the United Nations have made numerous offers and opportunities for negotiation and reconciliation which have all been spurned by the Bainimarama regime.
In our Christian tradition, we recognize that we have all sinned and fallen short of the grace and goodness of God.
If the people including the leaders of Fiji are able, with humility and honesty, to recognize our weaknesses, ask God for forgiveness and turn from our ways, there can be true forgiveness, reconciliation and healing.
Therefore, in the interest of alleviating the poverty and suffering of the people, support for the rule of law, peace, justice, good governance and integrity, it is imperative that the Church sends out a prophetic message at this critical juncture in Fiji.
The Methodist Church therefore calls on the head of state Ratu Josefa Iloilo, the interim Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama and the interim government to:
Reinstate the Constitution and comply with the rule of law as directed by the Appeals Court on Thursday 09 April 2009
Return the country to democratic elections under the 1997 Constitution, and under foreign, independent supervision, not later than December 2009
Protect all the rights of its citizens as stipulated under the 1997 Constitution, especially from arbitrary arrest, harassment, torture and inhumane treatment
Reinstate the law courts and ensure an independent judiciary.
Ensure that any changes to the electoral system are democratic, constitutional, participatory, and inclusive and accounts for the interests of all individuals and ethnic groups complying with the UN Convention on the Declaration of Human Rights as well the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.
Ensure that the Charter is considered and acted upon in line with the provisions of the 1997 Constitution.
Ensure the operation of a free and independent media
Set up an independent truth and reconciliation commission towards national forgiveness, reconciliation and healing.
Fasting and praying for the Nation is observed Fiji-wide to ask for divine intervention towards the return of democracy, rule of law, basic freedoms and basic rights and good governance in our nation.
That plans for resources be drawn up, made available and executed at the respective Divisions of the Church to assist the congregation, especially the needy, as well as appraise them on relevant social, political and economic issues, and that peaceful activities be undertaken to help move the nation to constitutional democracy and democratic governance.
