The predictability of dictatorship PDF Print E-mail
Monday, 06 September 2010 16:21

Anyone with even a passing acquaintance with history knows that modern dictatorships have always been rooted in violence, corruption and racism. That’s why we are very grateful to freedom blogspot, realfijinews, for unearthing this magnificent little slide show entitled, “Weak State Security – A Theoretical & Practical Guide.” It’s a gem that very neatly illustrates what has happened, and continues to happen, in Fiji. For example, it demonstrates how corruption is a key component for coming to an accommodation with the elite (viz: the two Epelis) and that ethnic manipulation is vital to the continuation of dictatorship or tyranny (viz: the dictator’s hollow words on a “race-free Fiji”).

Curtains for Khaiyum? PDF Print E-mail
Friday, 03 September 2010 15:48

The rumours that Sayed-Khaiyum is about to get the boot are getting stronger everyday. Aiayz can’t believe that the regime would get rid of him because he thinks they’d have no-one to tell him what to do, but he could be in for a rude shock. It’s true the dumb dictator will miss Aiyaz giving him lines to read and decrees to announce, which dumbo thinks make him look smart, but nobody else will miss the Ayaz arrogance. Victor Lal’s article on Coup Four and a Half outlines how the arrogance and corruption of Sayed-Khaiyum brought him into conflict with the Military Council.

Another coup the talk of the town PDF Print E-mail
Friday, 03 September 2010 15:28

Samoan journalist, Tupuola Terrence Tavita, has reported that yet another coup is on the cards for Fiji, this time on the orders of the Military Council. The source of the story appears to be Roko Ului who gets some very favourable mentions, and Tavita seems to be under the impression that “most of them (the Military Council) are from Fiji’s chiefly families”. The pro regime bloggers have scrambled like a room full of cockroaches when someone turns a light on, so there could be something in this rumour.

First step to a bolt hole? PDF Print E-mail
Tuesday, 31 August 2010 15:00

Blogsite Discombobulated Bubu picked up an interesting article from Michael Field reporting that dear old Mother Sayed-Khaiyum has made it to New Zealand, courtesy no doubt of brother Riyaz’s status, not Aiyaz’s. Could this be a first step towards making a safe bolt-hole for Aiyaz? (Please let me stay with my mother – for her sake not mine, of course.) But Aiyaz will have to repair the damage he did to his name in New Zealand after he made a huge fuss about permission for a regime judge to visit New Zealand accompanying a sick child. Aiyaz accused the New Zealand Government of interfering in the judiciary, even before the visa application had been processed. Better work quickly Aiyaz, you might need your bolt-hole sooner than you thought.

“Roadmap” a work of fiction PDF Print E-mail
Friday, 27 August 2010 16:23

Posting on Fiji Today’s Blog, the wily old Cassandra makes a very solid case that the dictator’s “roadmap” is simply a work of fiction. Going back to the point when the “roadmap” was first trotted out by the dictator, Cassandra shows us how the concept is yet another smokescreen to camouflage the dictator’s true plans and intentions. In other words, we shouldn’t put any store by the undertaking frequently made by our grubby little tin-pot dictator that there will be elections by September 2014.
