Hey fellas. BOO!
Intense paranoia has taken hold at the top of the FijiFirst government and its propaganda organs judging from the action taken against Grubsheet to ban us from the government Facebook page altogether.
For months, Grubsheet hasn’t been able to leave comments on the government’s page but now it has gone a step further and deprived us of the ability to see anything at all. When we search for the page, it simply doesn’t come up. Yet everyone else is seeing it and Grubsheet can access it from other computers. This ban extends to Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum’s official page, which we can still access but can’t read the actual postings.
Clearly the AG and his communications elves at Vatis can dish it out but can’t take it. They are evidently seething that Grubsheet exposed the industrial-scale use of fake Facebook profiles to comment favourably on government initiatives and attack FijiFirst’s political opponents. But banning us altogether is an astonishing course of action for a supposedly democratic government, especially when it had already prevented us from commenting on individual postings.
The Vatis bag of dirty tricks still includes its multiple phantom profiles, which Grubsheet will continue to monitor and expose through our network of informants who are monitoring all aspects of the government’s activities in the election lead-up. We will need to be a lot more alert and sceptical ourselves. Because there is clear evidence that having been exposed, Vatis is actively trying to be more devious in its deception.

Of the two phantoms we exposed and banned from this page today – the African looking “Patrick Lumley” and one “Archal Kumar” - Kumar’s profile is uncommonly sophisticated compared with the crude efforts we have seen thus far of a gaggle of false “identities” using cover photos of beach scenes, islands, shadowy figures in hoodies or back shots of random individuals.
"Archal" has photos, “friends”, pretends to have attended Suva Grammar and to all intents and purposes looks genuine. It actually required a keen eye to pick her out and our thanks go to one of our readers for alerting us to this shameless fake. On closer examination, our phantom made a fatal mistake by posting photos of “her” with the Auckland-based social media commentator, Shailendra Raju, presumably to add weight to her credibility.
It’s only on closer examination that you can see that each of the photos is of a different woman (Hey Vatis, it’s called identity theft and it is illegal ). And when we asked Shailendra Raju if he knew "Archal Kumar", the response came back that he had never heard of her.
So Labasa, Vatis! And believe us - Arnold Chanel and Damien Whippy - you’ll be seeing a lot more of Labasa over the coming weeks and months as the campaign by Grubsheet and our readers gains momentum to expose you and your fraudulent conduct on behalf of your patron, Aiyaz Sayed Khaiyum.

 |  Prodigious 'Little Fella' - a regular commentator on Grubsheet, this |
Re- Richard Jad:
We would love this 'Little Fella' and Grubsheet's regular commentator with 'no school or university' to write a column for Fijileaks. That is why we had long ago made a conscious decision to shut our comments section. There is no way to verify most identities unless, as an administrator, one is in touch with the likes of 'Richard Jad' - provided his parents allow one to establish contact with him, a minor;
otherwise one will be accused of cyber grooming of a minor.
