"Get It On Before You Get It On" - HE The President of Fiji

We kid you not. These were the exact words (check 2:32 mark of vid) of the Rt Epeli Nailatikau, the Acting President of Fiji.

Granted he was speaking on the issue of HIV/AIDS and targetting the youths in his message HOWEVER the tone and approach of this speech was most unbecoming, unclassy and unworthy of a statement originating from the highest office in the land.

But then again this is to be expected. He would have never smelled the Presidency if the normal processes of the Great Council of Chiefs appointments had been followed.

Keep The Racket Down Jesus Strategizers!

Week after week the CBD of Suva has been subjected to noisy convulsions from the conveniently crime-free and Jesus-strategizing Police Force.

If your ear drums aren't taking a beating from the audio emanations from Sukuna Park, then one surely didn't escape the din during the after-work rush at the main Suva bus-stand yesterday arvo.

Apart from the total nuisance they're making of themselves to the otherwise somber end-of-the-work-day wind-down for many of us bus-riding citizens, the racket PLUS dancing (yep that's right folks, DANCING coppers) is enough to send us scurrying to the nearest sila sellers for ammo.

In case these law enforcements officers need reminding, a legal precedent has already been set in the High Court where noise pollution (such as this) has been considered a breach of Penal Code S. 187 – common nuisance.

The case is State v Sang: [2008] FJHC 11; HAA127.07 (1 February 2008).

Many thanks to this studious legal student for that little gem of knowledge by way of a term-paper.

We will welcome cellular phone footage of the bus-stand shenanigan's for entertainment value folks. Email them through to: intelligentsiya@gmail.com

Interim Regime Retaliates Against Fiji Times

It's pathetic, well and truly bizarre and not unusual to kid's fights in the sandbox.

Perhaps because of Netani Rika's unflinching stand on media freedom, Bainimarama himself has given the order for all Government entities to cease all business arrangements with the Fiji Times ASAP.

Unless we're mistaken the impact on Fiji Times' bottom-line would be negligible to say the least.

Total Govt subscriptions (as perks of the current illegal and treasonous Ministers and their CEOs) would amount to about 40 copies/day x 5 days (approximately).

In terms of advertising, consumers still prefer Fiji Times (just check their circulation numbers and overall quality over the Post and the Sun).

Therefore if the Interim Govt needs something communicated to the masses (because they're still trying to win hearts and minds folks), consumers are simply not going to forego their loyalties just because the IG has a beef with the Fiji Times.

This should be interesting.

Let's see who caves in first. We might even start taking tallies.

Buy the Fiji Times only folks. Vote with your pockets.

Ema Mua: Jesus Strategy is Working

Good Lord. This is really taking the bastardization of the Lord's name to new heights.

Now that dope-smoking cops are sprung, Ema Mua -- as only she can -- feebly attempts to do her PR thing:
“And there we have some officers who say, “hey, we’ve found these things going on and we would like to bring it to light”, and that’s a strength for us," she said.

"It may look like a failure to the outside, to the public because of the Jesus Strategy but within the force, we feel it’s a very good sign," said Dimila.

"It’s a sign that our officers are beginning to change. That the dirt is beginning to come out. He (Police Commissioner) has no position for unfaithful officers within the force," she added.

"So we’ll start taking out officers who’re unfaithful in this sense so the Jesus Strategy is really working," said Dimila.

Meanwhile they still maintain that promotions within the ranks of the constabulary is not based on religion.

Someone spring a lie-detector on this heffa please.
