Fiji Whispers Updates.

18 November 2009           ” Hot Whispers!!!’

Secrets about the Fiji Coup leader, Frank Bainimarama performed at the  boy’s college he attended. You can gauge for yourself how well or below par his academic achievements were.

We know from our seasoned and well rounded Politician, Dr Mere Samisoni,  who has behind her, as she says, quote,

“  I am talking for the over 17,500 people who elected me. Or do as you wish with this.” unquote.

 Dr Samisoni does know her voters and those that did not vote for her. Heres what one close associate had shared with Dr Samisoni her re FB ‘s school achievements.

quote,

Amidst all these crisis, we see a common trend. VB like all other dictators is getting paranoid. He knows he is living on borrowed time. He surrounds himself with people who are losers.

I attended Marist with him in the mid ’6o’s and he was a failure…attaining a 3rd division in Senior Cambridge exam
by Marist’s standard was regarded a failure and he was refused admission into upper sixth the following year”.Bainimarama’s military government cheque dishonored  unquote.

October 13, 2009
We can confirm that Frank’s military government cheque has been dishonored with insufficient funds in the account to cover the cheque amount paid out to a pro-coup beneficiary, LOTUS Garments.

This information is said to have been leaked by team Padam Lala themselves, owners of LOTUS Garments, after their repeated efforts to get repaid for the bounced cheque was unsuccessful.

Sources report that the dishonored amount is around $1.5million

Friday, September 18, 2009. Drunkard Frank Taking Fiji Down to Ruin

Drunkard Frank Bainimarama disordely and loud at a nightclub

Well placed sources have reported that drunkard Frank Bainimarama was an absolute embarrasement while night- clubbing last Tuesday in a popular watering hole where his Landforce Commander, Peter Driti works part-time as a band member. These sources happened to be at the pub when the tyrant stumbled in, already half-drunk from a possible cocktail. They say Frank was disordely, boastful and loud in his drunkard state. Some even joked that he was probably pulling a drunk one at Australia since the name of that watering hole is called Down Under and is owned by an Australian called Chris.

A blogger’s take on Frank’s latest yah dah yah dah
September 17, 2009

Another long-winded selection of friendly-sounding lies and garbage. Looking to Singapore and Mauritius as examples of good governance is ridiculous given the draconian behavior of those governments. Why doesn’t he want to emulate India, NZ or Australia? Maybe it is his fear of the truth and the law. Amusingly, take a selection of the inane drivel he has in his speech – which read like a selection of marketing slogans:

“thinking outside the box” (what box, your box?)
“it must not be prone to high risk” (…like a investing in a military government?)
“you have been asked to attend this forum today to contribute to discussions that will assist me” (Assist you? Are you sure you invited the right people?)
“I want consistencies in policies and long term goals” (No. Is this your joke-speech?)
“It must be robust and it must flourish in a realistic environment” (Yes! It is your joke-speech!)
“I know there has been some disgruntlement” (I think the word you are looking for is: “INTERNATIONAL CONDEMNATION”)
“creating a level playing field” (Everyone gets a gun now? How thoughtful.)
“correcting the wrongs of the past” (I can think of a few…)
“today I and my team are here to listen to you” (with or without your gun?)
“We are here to look at our future” (where were you looking before?)
“I want us to leap-frog not merely plod along.” (I didn’t realise this meeting included games!)
How is he NOW doing any of these things? He isn’t and is incapable of doing so.
At least we now know that he gets all his ideas from the back of pop culture magazines, food court napkins and children’s pop-up books.

Where is multi-racialism Frank?
September 17, 2009
The dictator harps on a non-racist Fiji and yet in most of his speeches be beguns with Fijian and English greetings and ends with Fijian or English – maybe its time he was sent to some Indo-Fijian primary school to pick up a few words – or it just exposes his false crusade for a non-racial Fiji

Frank Bainimarama’s consistent inconsistencies
September 17, 2009

We say – how often has Frank Bainimarama lived by the words he has uttered below? Such noble ideals that unfortunately gets lost when released by a liar, and an indespicable murderer and human rights violator like Fiji’s coupmaker Frank Bainimarama, who is responsible for the death, beating and torturing of his own Fijian people. Frank doesn’t have it in him to act the part of a nation builder. Frank is a tyrant for crying out loud! Fiji needs a credible civilian leader to say those words Frank and only then will the world believe it. At first glance, one can’t help but think that all these blurbs continue to ring hollow given Frank’s disgusting violence against his own kind and his junta’s escalating corruption, abuse of office, non-transperancy, embezzelment of taxpayers funds, croynism, nepotism and most importantly, Frank’s politics of war. Sorry Frank, maybe its time for you to go and get someone more credible to talk the talk and walk the talk of hope that Fiji badly needs right now.

Keynote address at the 2010 national budget consultative forum
Novotel Convention CentreLAMI
17 September, 20090830 Hours

Cabinet Ministers;Ladies and Gentlemen.
Bula Vinaka and a Good Morning to you all.
The last time we met as a group before a budget was last year at the Economic Summit. As you are aware His Excellency our President abrogated the 1997 Constitution in April of this year. He then appointed my Government with the Mandate to have elections in September 2014.Following the Presidential Mandate on 1st July of this year, I announced the Strategic Framework for Change which sets out the objectives of my Government vis-a-vis the People’s Charter with an agenda to modernize and reform. To reiterate, consultations on a new Constitution shall begin in September 2012 with the view to have one in place by September 2013. Elections are to be held a year after that.

However, until then the focus of Government shall be on the economy. The focus will mean politics, political parties and politicians shall not be part of the agenda. The agenda will mean bringing the much needed dynamism to the economy and the commercial sector. It will mean thinking outside the box, making a paradigm shift.

As I have said my Government is a government of change. I want to modernize – modernize to improve Government services, run government like a business, and modernize our way of thinking to ensure that we set the foundations of a sound and robust economy – an economy that will reap benefit for all, not just a select few. It must not favor a select group of businesses, it must not marginalize our workers and it must not be prone to high risk.
Accordingly, as businesses, as financial institutions, as employers and employees, you must engage not just with me and my Government and also with each other. If you are serious and committed to a Fiji which is to realize her true potential then you will take a holistic approach to the economy. You will situate your sector, your business and your employee claims within the context of the greater Fijian economy and the well being of her people. We no longer can afford to be parochial and selfish.

Ladies and gentlemen you have been asked to attend this forum today to contribute to discussions that will assist me to formulate not just the 2010 Budget but the budgets that are to ensue for the next 5 years. I want consistencies in policies and long term goals to provide investor confidence to help you and me to plan our Government, our businesses, our lives, and our country. I know there has been some disgruntlement over certain polices over the past couple of years. But we are not here to look into the past. We are here to look at our future. I also know that in modernizing the economy, in creating a level playing field, in correcting the wrongs of the past and in liberalizing the economy, some will initially be dissatisfied. However, some of these adjustments are necessary. I and my Government are not averse to making tough decisions. After all, the economies of Singapore and Mauritius are what they are today because of the ability of their respective governments to make tough and forward looking decisions.

Our economy, individual businesses and industries cannot and should not survive on an unrealistic platform. It must be robust and it must flourish in a realistic environment. Our economic growth must be based on a sustainable foundation. We must not repeat the mistakes of the past when unsustainable fiscal and monetary policies were put in place. There are of course a number of factors outside our control and the Governor of the Reserve Bank of Fiji will give you a realistic analysis of what is happening globally, the impact of the World recession and the repercussions on the Fijian economy. You will also hear about Government spending. But today I and my team are here to listen to you. I want to listen to your ideas about your sectors and the economy at large. When telling us what your views are don’t just think about next year but think long term. I most definitely am. As I said I want to put in train policies that will be forward-looking, to provide consistency and confidence. I want to situate Fiji in a prime position. I want us to leap-frog not merely plod along.

I know you all may have a long wish list but be practical and give me at least three key issues from your sector that you would like addressed, keeping in my mind the overall economic objectives and demands of other interest groups. As I said on 1st July, I want us all to seize the moment, seize the moment to build a better Fiji in which we and our future generations, all benefit.
Vinaka vakalevu.
-Ends-

One Conman Backs Another

If there is any indication of the MAJOR CON that Bainimarama and his circle have wrought on our country, look no further than validation by another Conman — Peter Foster.

Foster has a well-known reputation in the Pacific. Just ask the Federated States of Micronesia, Vanuatu and ex UK PM Tony Blair’s wife, Cherie Blair.

Being ConMEN, they both have a serious misunderstanding of the C-word….CREDIBILITY…which for both are in tatters.

Conman backs coup leader
4:00AM Tuesday Aug 18, 2009

Convicted conman Peter Foster has written an “insider’s account” of Fiji’s coup that holds self-imposed leader Frank Bainimarama up as the last bastion of hope for the troubled nation.

Foster, who is on parole after more than two years in jail for money laundering, has published a 60-page document he says reveals the truth behind Fiji’s political volatility.

He says Bainimarama, who has been condemned by the Australian and New Zealand Governments and the Commonwealth for refusing to hold elections, is a “humble and decent” man who is Fiji’s last hope.

The coup Bainimarama instigated in December 2006 desperately needed to happen to free Fiji from the corruption of the previous government, led by Laisenia Qarase, Foster claims.

He says on his website Fiji Truth that Qarase was corruptly elected and set the tone for corruption that Bainimarama has tried to break.

The claims have been denied by Qarase, who says: “As a convicted fraudster, Peter Foster cannot be trusted to speak the truth.”

Others have questioned Foster’s words, with one former friend, who did not wish to be named, labelling it “a lot of rubbish”.

Fiji: truth is now a crime

 Last week, Fiji’s military junta released two groups of soldiers who had tortured and murdered civilians in the wake of the 2006 coup. They’re clearly not too proud of doing so – because over the weekend they summarily detained two Fiji Live journalists for daring to report the fact:

Two Suva journalists have spent their second night in police cells after they reported on how the Fiji military dictatorship had freed soldiers jailed for killing civilians.Media sources in Suva, who cannot be named due to fears for their safety, hold concerns for Dionisia Turagabeci and Shelvin Chand, of the website Fijilive. The website is not reporting on the fate of its own journalists.

Dictator Voreqe Bainimarama imposed martial law on Fiji last month and has extended it another month, imposing censorship on all media.

Earlier this year a soldier was convicted of murdering a civilian. In a separate case nine soldiers and three policemen were convicted of the manslaughter of a civilian.

They were sent to jail for terms ranging from eight years to life, but last week all were released on parole.

Fijilive reported this on Friday and on Saturday Turagabeci and Chand were picked up and taken to Suva Central Police Station.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The excellent Coup 4.5 blog has more:

Coupfourpointfive has been told that an officer told relatives that both journalists have been charged for contravening emergency regulations and will appear in the Suva Magistrates Court tomorrow [sic]

A charge under the Public Emergency Regulations 2009 [PDF] means that the government thinks that the information published

may give rise to disorder and may thereby cause undue demands to be made upon the police or the Armed Forces, or may result in a breach of the peace, or promote disaffection or public alarm, or undermine the Government and the State of Fiji

Think about that for a moment. The report was truthful and accurate. The criminals had been released. The Fijian government is now in the Orwellian position of contending that truthfully reporting their actions “undermine[s] the Government and the State of Fiji”. If so, then I suggest the real problem lies in the actions of the government – not that they are reported.Update: According to Raw Fiji News, the journalists have now been released. No word yet on whether the charges have been dropped.
