CRY NO MORE: Let us unite and oust the treasonist lot in September poll

There can be no doubt Fiji and its people have literally been pouring their hearts out and shedding untold tears. This has been due to the loss of their freedom and the abuse of their human rights and dignity since the overthrow of the elected government of PM Qarase in December 2006 by the Dictator Bainimarama. That national outpouring of grief and tears is beginning to abate and tears are slowly drying as they see a glimmer of hope in the upcoming election in September. 

Anyone who loves his or her country would want the crying to stop for good and for the nation and its people to reclaim their freedom and political sanity. Indeed, so many of us would love to proclaim the words: "Cry no more my beloved Fiji" in recognition of the hurt and suffering of near 8 years now and the possibility that good days beckon to again flourish as a nation and people.

We all know too well who has been shedding the tears since December 2006 and records abound of how widespread and heart wrenching it has been. Mothers whose sons were mysteriously taken into custody and retrieved dead from the hands of those tasked to uphold the law and protect citizens, shed hurtful tears borne out of the natural attachment to a physical offspring.

So did innocent women, including my aunt, Laisa Vulakoro, frogmarched by cowardous soldiers into the Suva military camp, then later sworn at and stomped on by men who no doubt have sisters and mothers, shed tears of agony and pain. The spouses and relatives of murdered CRW soldiers shed copious tears seeing their loved ones' dead corpses in the Suva mortuary and so as those families brutally uprooted and forced to flee overseas, some now in New Zealand I know, from the persecution of a sinister and evil regime. Even recalling these cases and writing about it inevitably triggers a teary eyed reaction. Many, many more cases exist and if collected the tears shed could no doubt fill a huge reservoir that could appropriately be labelled the "Fiji's reservoir of tears from Coup 2006". What a shrine of national and international shame that would be!

"While crying may not be a blockbuster drug, but the latest research suggests it's highly effective at healing, and that it improves the mood of 88.8 per cent of weepers, with only 8.4 per cent feeling worse." Perhaps therein lie an antidote to the long suffering of Fiji and its people since Dictator Bainimarama's coup. I'm not saying crying and suffering has stopped because it surely has not. Instead, people of Fiji have, over time, developed coping mechanisms to shield them from the impact of the suffering. They have found temporary relief in their own spirituality, families and networks of colleagues and friends which in turn encourage them to recover and contemplate the future. They have come to internalise their cries into yearnings to confront the evil that has suppressed them all these years. Again research into crying "supports the so-called recovery theory, that emotional tears, and their contents, may be a way of getting the body back in balance after a stressful event."

This does offer some hope for Fiji and its people and I for one very much look forward to its effects in the months ahead, especially the confidence and ability to seize any opportunity to turn threats to their advantage.
The 17 September election provides that opportunity and the heart truly lifts when one looks at the enthusiasm and passion in which the parties are approaching it, even under the most trying, unfair and uneven of political circumstances. For me, it is as if the tears of sorrow, pain and agony are being transformed into tears of joy, hope and determination. It is a truly welcome change and marks an innate strength in the human spirit to recover from a human inflicted suffering. Worse, when that suffering is perpetrated by the organs of the State and, in many cases for Fijians, by their own race. 

The emotional energy that has fanned the tears of suffering, grief and sorrow has slowly been redirected at reclaiming freedom and liberty, which in turn, has ignited passion and enthusiasm among those fighting the forces of evil and darkness now arrayed in front of us in the form of Dictator Bainimarama and his Fiji First Party.

To him and his treasonist bunch, let us in unison, shout out that Fiji and its people shall "Cry No More".   And if we are to cry it will be the cry of joy and victory when Fiji awakes from its enforced slumber inflicted by evil forces, to retake its rightful place in the community of civilised nations, where dignity human rights, democracy and respect for each other is again held paramount and sacrosanct.

Such unnecessary drama. Tears would not have been WASTED had Fijians across the board, particularly those who've been at the helm of power, admitted to their faults and corruption instead of mumming and digging heels in self-preservation.

We cud've, wud've, shud've have decisively arrived much earlier at the ballot box instead of 8 years later. Spare the tissues as its no use crying over spilt milk.

This is why we should do everything within our means to not reward this criminals or terrorists if you may another 4 years of rule come September 2014. The new roads and new bridges, the sewing machines and brushcutters will never be enough to wipe away the hurt, the anguish, the terrorism, the loss of freedom, the loss of life that has blanketed us the people of Fiji. Some have been man enough to front up to their actions and are facing or have faced the consequences. Some to this day have been able to avoid paying the price and live and roam freely amongst us. Some of these are currently being heralded as heroes and champions of the people for past 1-2 years of an 8 year rule. This however will never extinguish what they have done and there will come a day, during this lifetime or the next, where they will do so in the end. Run as far and fast as you can. Sooner or later everything else just catches up with you as eventually you will slow down.

Let us unite and oust Bainimarama and his government. Please tell the Police to restart the investigation of the CRW soldiers. That case needs to be investigated as it is a criminal case - Bainimarama should be charged for MURDER as he directed the torturing of all CRW soldiers. Someone to ask the corrupt RAVI NARAYAN who became Bainimarama and MINISTER JOKETANI COKANASIGAs choice for acting COMMISSIONER instead of more educated and qualified police officers to answer why he is fast in directing investigation against fellow police officers and known offenders and turned a blind eye on the CRW Police investigation files and Mr Beddoes complaint against BAINIMARAMA for violating all the Elections Decree? Let us Unite and throw Bainimarama and Khaiyum through the Window.

SODELPA - 9%
FLP - 9%
NFP - 8%
Felix - 7%
All Independents - 4%
Vosarogo Party - 0 %

FijiFirst - Indians 80%
- Fijians 80%

Overall Votes FijiFirst = 63%

This equates ALL 50 seats to FijiFirst Party - All the way

As NFP's Ms Draunidalo said no matter how flawed the election process is at least this is first steps to democracy!!!!!!

Full credit for this result is going to be directed to Qarase and Chaudhry's best performance in government [2001-2006]

For the balance all works in the development plan initiated during SDL term, its outcome result of ribbon opening by Frank gives a tick to Frank.

Isa Fiji ...heading towards bankruptcy that Chaudhry accused Qarase to having about bankrupting Fiji but now another $2billion government debt added as -ve progress in many fronts.

Maybe Vodapone profits from FNPF will help pay for more FNPF debt for next 4 years. Good starategy as little price hike on Vodapone is imminent now with more regulations to protect its profits so bankrupt Frank and Aiaz can survive for anothewr 4 years.

Lately we have seen the decendent of Maafu re emerginging.We all know that Maafu wanted to take over Fiji but it was the strong man of Kubuna Cakobau who thwarted his plans so what the Army did which was led by another Kubuna man was to end once and for all that revival.
