The witch-hunt is still on.
Today the IG's mouthy A-G has now personally attacked the integrity of Ms Shamima Ali!
How absurd! How disgusting!
Ms Ali's actions has never been other than professional. At least she stood up for what she believed in. And her belief is not political. She is only looking out for the people that get caught in the middle of the farce!
Unfortunately the same can't be said for Aiyaz Saiyad Khaiyum and his coup-abetting colleagues - the two Shameem sisters....

Fiji Human Rights Commission Suspension
It didn't take too long for that one to happen aye?
How can FHRC be a respected organisation after its January statement in support of the military takeover?
With FHRC's credibility and independence flushed down the drain - perhaps it is time for its senior members to seek jobs with the IG and join the rest of the scandal-tainted debt-riddled team.
It is obvious the international community is keeping a closer watch on the happenings in Fiji - first the EPG recommendations, then the Foreign Ministers' communique and now the ICC suspension of Fiji's HRC.
Hmmm...what next?

An Already Corrupted Anti-Corruption Commission
I was so disgusted reading Justice Nazhat Shameem's public admission on her failure as DPP to persecute those involved in the NBF scam! So whats coming next in the years down the line - an apology for her role in the illegal suspension of the Chief Justice Daniel Fatiaki?
Sounds familiar today doesn't it? Replace NBF with QEB and the manipulation of the justice system and the country's finances and its same old same old.
An Anti-Corruption Commission is an excellent venue for corruption issues and has been a long time coming but not only does it need the criteria listed by the apologetic Ms Shameem, it must be emphatic in its independence and led by people of high moral and professional ethics which can be likened to looking for a needle in the haystack amongst Fiji's current illegal regime - and this is the same group who nominates members of the Commission?
Forget it! - Any commission or board elected by this illegal regime will neither by independent nor honest!
Its like pissing against the wind!!

Fiji Unions Show Their Strength
There has been an overwhelming response from the various Fiji unions with the majority of its members voting to go ahead with a strike.
Unfortunate as this may be, this is the time for decision-making. It is time for the country's largest workforce to make known their stand - that against diversity they stand as one. And it is a message the group of QEB-elected people should do well to take heed.

Intellligentsiya Runs Rings Around Fiji Military
I had to do a second post after listening to Teleni blubber on about the Military's IT experts tracing authors of the Intelligentsiya site.
That would have been a sight to see.
Can you imagine Bai, Teleni, Leweni, Driti etc grouped around a desktop which has the intelligentsiya site on screen? LOL. If the daily newspapers were'nt gagged or pulled up so regularly, I would personally ring their graphic artist/cartoonist and pay big bucks for a cartoon spread!!!
Intelligentsiya authors take a bow.

Pacific Island Family Stand To
There is some lining in the dark cloud that has descended on Fiji recently after all...look at the outcome of the Pacific Island Forum Leaders meeting recently held in Vanuatu on March 16 - read its outcomes report online.
What else is there to say but thank you Pacific Island leaders for standing up for the silent majority.

Witch Hunt of A Megalomaniac
The media is certainly running rings around the interim government and the military to wit.
I suppose carting members of the media to the 'torture chambers' at QEB for questioning is becoming the norm.
Yesterday saw William Parkinson and Vijay Narayan taken to QEB. These two are long time media stalwarts well known for their unbiased take on the news and current events. Before that was Mesake Koroi another media personality also well known for making his views known whether they be left or right wing. Other lesser known reports and photographers have walked the plank since.
Obviously freedom of the press is no more...
In other news related to the media, a public forum site on Fijivillage was taken offline yesterday because comments on the site were considered inflammatory. Can this get any worse? Are officers of the anti-corruption unit aware that a public forum site means exactly that - a site where the public is given a forum to voice their opinions.
Besides, shutting down the site is pretty stupid. With the amount of bloggers springing up - the site will be hosted elsewhere in no time. And it doesn't solve anything except try to salvage the egos of meglomaniacs
