Aiyaz just doesn't get it - this is not about the rules of the Forum - its about geopolitics. the Aussies and Kiwi's will disregard that rule book as they have done here with the suspension and all the rest of the "bilateral partners" will follow suit. tsk tsk tsk....

his advise led the RFMf down the garden path for two years around in circles - until the Constitution had to be abrogated in the end - in the meantime the two plus years between Dec 2006 and April 2009 saw lots of money spent in arguing court cases and lots of resources allocated to defend challenges against the constitutionality of FICAC and all the rest of it - completely inefficient - resources Fiji cannot afford to misuse on cases which wouldn't have happened if Aiyaz simply got down to the bare facts and acknowledged from the beggining that what happened was illegal and the 1997 Constitution had to be abrogated to create a new legal order.

and now he is back at it again with the Forum - the back and forth here and there semantics which eventually end up nowhere whilst lots of money is unnecassarily spent in getting consultants and negotiators in place to attempt to bulid bridges which nobody in Canberra is the least bit interested in building - the bottom line for Canberra is that the want FB and Aiyaz and the interim regime and the RFMf to phuck off from government buildings. fullstop.

so why is Aiyaz wasting time trying to preach ? whats the point ? what is he hoping to achieve ? Canberra doesn't want to see his face - it doesn't even recognise him.

you cannot negotaite with someone who doesn't even recognise you.

you have to first make them recognise you - and the only way to do that is to hit them where it hurts - and that means doing something devastating like kicking out the Forum.

you have to use devstating tactics to get these people to the table - they have to lose something before they realise that the cost of undermining you is not sensible - and that they have to recognise and accept you and talk with you.

Aiyaz can't even fly to Sydney - they'll kick his ass out of there like a common criminal ! a nobody.

what "strong links" is he on about ? there's none you've been kicked out of the community !

this guy needs to realise that its a geopolitical game now - there are no rules here. instead of writing this third rate thesis pretending its an official government release he should be preparing the way for kicking the Forum out - because its about leverage - and getting leverage and using that leverage.

Aiyaz is simply leading the regime into ambush after ambush with his confused manouvers.

there is no direction and decisiveness to what he is doing - its aimless.

===============================

noone here is blind to the leverage the Aussies have used via the Forum - its geopolitics. its about leverage - the Aussies used their money position to leverage that outcome against Fiji and the members folded - they had to, theiy depend on the Aussies for aid.

the Forum is now a geopolitical football - the Aussies have turned it into a political football - and the members of the Forum have allowed the organisation to be used as a political football

it is entitled to be kicked around as a political football - and if the Aussies can do it to advance their geopolitical interests in this region, so can we to protect ours.

as much as Aiyaz likes to think he still has "relationships" with the forum members, the cold hard reality is that they have kicked him out. he has been sold down the river. fullstop. as much as Aiyaz likes to think that the Forum rules does not have anything about kicking member states out (and he is correct on that - legally), he needs to understand that those rules no longer exist now - whats happening here is geopolitics.

leverage is being used on the Forum to leverage Fiji.

the leverage Fiji has is to kick out the Forum and its offices and all its people out of Fiji - that is a justified decision - if it devastates the Forum and brings it down to a collapse that is not our problem - we didn't start this game of political football.

Fiji needs to follow through with EVERY single point of leverage we have - which is substantial - i.e the Pacific Forum line, the Australian Federal Police set up here in Suva - all theregional NGO's based here, the whole works - and we need to use them.

thats what it boils down to - leverage, and using that leverage.

FB has to kick out the Forum - they have made this decision calculating that Fiji will not go that far in its reaction - we must show them that we can go that far and further -that we can be ruthless - we play for keeps when we are pushed in this way - and thats the bottom line.

when it gets this ruthless and nasty there are no friends - only players - because like Aiyaz is now learning, whomever you thought was your best friend can also turn out to be your worst enemy- and he still hasn't gotten over it yet - they've phucked him over and he is still talking about "strong relationships". lol. tsk tsk tsk tsk.

he needs to muscle up.

we must do it - there is no turning back. it must be done. decisively.

this single event is a watershed in pacific geopolitics - the days of the "Pacific Way" are well and truly over - its now everyone for himself. thats what happened with that Forum decision - all those Pacific heads of State, when it came to the crunch, fell for the Aussie dollar - and if they say it wasn't so and that it was about principle then it only exposes their hypocracy because (a) there is no procedure or rule for suspension contained in the founding document of the South Pacific Forum - which was deliberately so because the late Tui Nayau who set that thing up didn't want to interfere in the Tongan Governance set or the Samoan Governance set up (in both those countries there is NO DEMOCRACY - the rule in Tonga is by the King and nobles and the one in Samoa is by the MATAI who are nobles); (b) the Pacific way would not have resulted in a suspension - that is an insult.

all this means is that Fiji should look after Fiji's interests as No 1

the South pacific Forum is a political football - we can use leverage on it just as the Aussies have done - its fair game - there is no MANA about that. forget that shyte.....and Aiyaz needs to pull his finger out and forget all these warm lovely feeling emotions about "strong ties with them" because there's none.

we need to look after us as NO 1 - and that means every decision we take should be done for our OWN BEST INTERESTS - the region doesn't factor into that equation - and thats why Aiyaz needs to stop massaging balls (which is why he rose to the AG's post in the first place - he is a good ball massager - tabetabe artist - and muscle up and be decisive about this thing - and start with a phuck the Forum stance).

Fiji will not collapse from this thing OR from kicking out the Forum - it is in our geopolitical interests that we kick them out. they have become a hinderance and obstacle and their efforts at sabotaging Fiji have gone to the extreme - we simply cannot allow these state of affairs to go on unchecked.

it must be decisively stopped - and the only way to do that is kick them out and withdraw Fiji membership from that regional Forum block.

we will make it on our own - our geographic location and resources are more than enough to stand us in good stead - and our connections that are now being strengthened with China, India and further afield into Asia will allow for the flow of capital and technology to maximise the utilisation of our resources - we need to focus on developing what is ours and moving ahead - forget the region or the Forum they bring us nothing.
