| Bainimarama chases votes while troops missing |
The Times of Israel says the UN has called on countries of influence to press the Al Qaeda insurgents to release the peacekeepers.
The 15 council members have endorsed a press statement after a briefing by UN peacekeeping chief, Herve Ladsous, but there has been no acknowledgement by Al Nusra.
Intel sources say the rebel group has refused to talk with the UN team because its demands haven't been met and it's feared the insurgents is likely to execute at least one Fiji soldier under Sharia law to make its point.
C4.5 has been told former police minister, Esala Teleni, is flying in to Suva tomorrow from China and will volunteer to travel to the Golan Heights, if no one from camp is prepared to make the trip as they should've done a week ago.
This is a huge remiss and will surely hurt Frank Bainimarama, who continues to pretend he had nothing to do with the fate of the men as he cuddles up with children and old men to win votes.
QEB has also gone quiet with a very stressed-looking RFMF commander, Mosese Tikoitoga, today not making any statements about the missing soldiers.
Tikoitoga yesterday criticised former coup leader and prime minister, Colonel Sitiveni Rabuka, for suggesting Fiji's Muslims could face a backlash if the soldiers are harmed. Police are investigating.
Rabuka has been quoted as saying, "If anything happen to the 45, then the unsuspecting and probably undeserving people who will bear the brunt of the feelings could be the Muslim civil society and community in Fiji."
He has since said he was calling for 'strong and compassionate leadership.'
Demands are meanwhile growing for an investigation to help establish the facts surrounding the surrender of the Fiji soldiers and their subsequent capture while the Filipino contingent fought the rebels and either escaped or were rescued.
Editor's Note: Critics have tried to reject our story about the troops calling Israel for help saying it was impossible for them to have done so.
The call was certainly made: every Fiji unit in a mission has a direct hotline to their landforce at QEB and can also contact the mobile numbers or the landlines of seniors, with the help of signals unit of the army.
The Phillipines Defense Forum is also the official forum for the country's defense force, so is a credible source of information.
We have also been assured India's Lt Gen, Iqbal Singh Singha, ordered the surrender of Filipino units only after the the Fijian units had already surrendered.

Before you ridicule the indigenous population it might do you good to read the following link:
http://thediplomat.com/2013/10/modern-day-slavery-indias-other-shame.
Speaking of trying to change the subject, it's easy to see that Fiji First is getting desperate. No longer content with casting anonymous racial and religious slurs in order to divide the electorate whilst pretending Frank is a great unifier, they're now casting aspersions on the private sex life of sixty-plus year-old Ro Teimumu. Anything to try to distract us!
Whenever the Clarendon House trolls are out in force, that means the regime is in damage control mode. That's pretty often, thanks to the recklessness of the regime. It's like a barometer. One can use it to gauge the fortunes of Fiji First. Given the many trolls suddenly re-appearing on this blogsite, that fortune must be plummeting.
I don't know why they're so worried. Don't they trust Aiyaz to fix the elections so that Fiji First wins, no matter what? I sure do.
Don't they trust the Fiji Sun polls that purport to show that FFP is far ahead in popular support? Sure, each poll shows SODELPA's support doubling, but it could double again by election time, and STILL FFP would come out the winner by an absolute majority, if the Fiji Sun is to be believed.
Well, okay, in this case, no one can blame them for not trusting the Sun. Nobody else does.
I was never an SDL supporter, but I know Ro Teimumu very well. She is a strong, wise, caring, humble and gracious woman. She would make a great prime minister for Fiji at this time.
I don't know how sexually active she was when she was younger, and I don't really care. I don't think for one moment that Frank is the world's first totally monogamous sailor, either, but again, I really don't care. If they were boffing each other, I really don't care, so long as it was before Frank committed his treason.
That's because the central issue in this election is Frank's treason. It's whether we should ratify Frank's serial treason, giving him a free pass for every crime he's ever committed and every crime he ever WILL commit.
To me, it's just preposterous that anyone would freely support such a proposition. To do so, they would become traitors in their own right.
Frank's treason is the main issue. His thuggery, incompetence, stupidity, arrogance, greed, etc. are valid concerns but remain side-issues, ultimately. His treason is an absolute disqualifier for any elected office or position of trust. The question ought not to be whether he is elected or not; it should be whether he deserves to hang for his crimes or his sentence commuted to life imprisonment.
The reason the regime trolls are so active at present is undoubtedly because of the Syrian hostage crisis and the horrendous failure of leadership it shows on the part of the regime — not just how badly prepared our troops were before being sent but the stupidity of the regime's "open legs" foreign policy and the callous disregard of our self-appointed leaders regarding the possible repercussions their actions and statements could have on this very sensitive situation.
Try as the trolls might to distract us, it won't work. That's because the growing prospect of Fijian soldiers having their heads lopped off due to a string of bad command decisions will surely bring back our attention.

Modern-Day Slavery: India’s Other Shame
Study: India accounts for nearly half of the world’s slaves.
By J.T. Quigley

Of the estimated 29.8 million people living in modern slavery worldwide, nearly half are in India. This harrowing statistic comes from the 2013 Global Slavery Index, published by Australia’s Walk Free Foundation. It is the first comprehensive index of global slavery, covering 162 countries, and defining slavery as:
“The possession and control of a person in such a way as to significantly deprive that person of his or her individual liberty, with the intent of exploiting that person through their use, management, profit, transfer or disposal. Usually this exercise will be achieved through means such as violence or threats of violence, deception and/or coercion.”
The per-country rankings are estimated using three variables – a composite estimate of the number of people in slavery, an estimate of the level of human trafficking from and into each country, and an estimate of the prevalence of child marriages. The first annual Global Slavery Index draws on 10 years of research and is endorsed by the likes of Hillary Clinton, Tony Blair, Bill Gates and Richard Branson.
India topped the list with a staggering 13.9 million estimated slaves, most of whom are “Dalits” (sometimes referred to as “untouchables”) – members of India’s lowest caste. China ranked a very distant second, with 2.9 million. Pakistan came in third, with 2.1 million. No other countries on the list broke into the millions.
In a country that has been overwhelmed by recent media reports of violent – sometimes deadly – gang rapes and a seemingly complete disregard for women’s rights, India is reeling from yet another national disgrace.
“Sixty-six years after independence, India has the dubious distinction of being home to half the number of modern day slaves in the world,” reported The Times of India. “The study says that in India there's some exploitation of foreign nationals, but by far the largest proportion of slaves are Indians exploited by other Indians within the country, particularly through debt bondage and bonded labor.”
“Meet the world’s Number 1 slaveholder: India” read a headline on The First Post. “It’s a shameful statistic. The report is going to raise hackles in India. It will be perceived as another way for the West to lord it over us,” the article continued.
The figures from the Walk Free Foundation are actually lower than estimates by the U.S. State department’s Trafficking in Persons (TIP) report, which assesses human trafficking and forced labor.
“The [2013] TIP report released by the U.S. State department had put the number of people in some sort of forced labor at an estimated 20 to 65 million : men, women, and children mainly in debt bondage to a local landowner, forced to work in industries such as brick kilns, rice mills, agriculture, and embroidery factories,” said Hindustan Times. “The TIP report cites instances where women and girls from the northeastern states and Odisha have been sold or coerced into forced marriages in states with low female-to-male gender ratios, including Haryana and Punjab and forced into prostitution.”
Although India ranked first for the total number of estimated slaves, it ranked fourth per capita – behind Mauritania, Haiti and Pakistan. Iceland, Ireland and the U.K. make a three-way tie for having the fewest number of slaves.
What's the latest about the Sharia Law and the 45 thieves captured in Golan??
Time to kerekere to the Americans. They're the hostages' only hope now.
By the definition of the Global Slavery Index, Fiji should rank at or near the top of the list of slave countries on a per capita basis.
Bainimarama controls us in such a way as to significantly deprive us of our individual liberty, with the intent of exploiting us through our use, management, profit, transfer or disposal (as in the case of our expendable soldiers now held captive). And, as is customary, this exercise was achieved through violence or threats of violence, deception and/or coercion.
Like nearly 8 million Chinese youths between 1967 and 1976, the main character, Xiu Xiu was "sent down" for specialized training. Xiu Xiu dreamt of becoming a horse trainer in the plains of Tibet, far away from her city home. Her training begins in the camp of an odd, mysterious man. Their relationship develops slowly because Xiu Xiu believes she will be sent home at the end of her training. Eventually, Xiu Xiu realizes she will never see her parents, siblings and friends ever again without a wealthy sponsor. Her life becomes a horrifying cage, where corrupt government officials promise her release in exchange for sexual favors. How Xiu Xiu eventually escapes is a fascinating look at compassion, desperation and love.
Film Background
Directed by Joan Chen. The movie is based on an award winning novella, "Tian Yu" by Yan Geling, which was banned in China. The novella was banned for politcal and sexual content.
Point Of View
A powerful, evocative film with stunning depictions of the Chinese landscape. A compelling plot complete with interesting twists and turns. Not a light hearted frivolous film for an evening of chilling out. This is a movie for those moments when you want to beswept away into the human condition complete with all of its horror, tenderness, poignant ironies, and compassion.
Never mind if she's a slut or not, we now know that the warrior queen is a snivelling lamusona. Fancy challenging Bainimarama to a debate and then pulling out when he says yes. Unbelievable cowardice! It has has sealed her fate. Frank has won the election.
Reading the papers this morning, it looks like the other queen, Jesse Sikivou, advised Ro Teimumu that appearing with the PM was too big a risk. As the Sun front page says. "What is she afraid of?". Plenty, it seems. Because what idiot would issue a challenge in the first place if they had no intention of proceeding? Now she looks weak and pathetic and the whole country knows she hasn't got the guts to face the PM on TV. Sikivou should be sacked but it's too late now. She can hardly change her mind without looking like a complete fool. I was going to vote SODELPA but bugger that. I want to vote for someone with spine, not a jellyfish lamusona. God help us if this is the quality of the alternative in Fiji. I guess she'll still get her seat in parliament and a fat salary and crap on about the same old things. A complete waste of space as well as being a husband thief. No wonder the chiefs are in trouble.
Why did she back out? Because she is terrified of her sordid private life becoming an issue at the last minute in the campaign and of Frank being able to make her look foolish by demolishing all her lies.
IDF got the Irish Battalion out of a jam late last week averting another hostage crisis/ shootout between al Nusra and the UNDOF.
=================================
By MICHELLE MALKA GROSSMAN, YAAKOV LAPPIN
Jerusalem Post

Senior sources told the "Irish Independent" that Israeli soldiers provided "decisive" help in preventing another hostage situation.
Irish UN troops "almost certainly" would have been killed or taken hostage during fighting last week if it were not for Israeli soldiers saving them, senior sources told the Irish Independent on Sunday.
The crisis would likely have been similar to the ongoing hostage situation with Filipino and Fijian UN troops in the buffer zone along the Syrian border. The Philippines' soldiers managed to escape into safety in Israel, while the 44 soldiers from Fiji still remain in captivity.
The senior sources said Israeli soldiers, who have guard posts overlooking the UN demilitarization zone in Quneitra, provided "decisive" help to the Irish UN soldiers in the area.
The IDF soldiers helped guide UN rescue troops away from al-Nusra forces in the area.
On August 28, terrorists from the al-Nusra front, the Syrian wing of al-Qaida, captured 72 UN troops from the Philippines and 44 UN troops from Fiji. The Filipino troops managed to escape into safety in Israel.
Al-Nusra is threatening to put the Fijian soldiers on trial under Islamic Shari’a law unless a series of demands are met, including the group's removal from the UN's list of global terror organizations, and monetary compensation for members killed in fighting.
According to IDF assessments, Al Nusra Front fighters make up a third of the 2000 rebels that have taken control of the Quneitra region. Al Nusra's members are unlikely to target Israel soon, the army estimates.
Last week, a senior IDF officer said, "We provided all of the assistance we could to the United Nations Disengagement and Observation Force (UNDOF)." He stressed that no Israeli soldier crossed the border into Syria.
The Al-Nusra Front poured into the Syrian Golan Heights in recent weeks after being pushed away from eastern Syria by its rival, the Islamic State, thereby upsetting the balance of rebel groups that had previously dominated the Quneitra region and Dara'a.
"Now we see them deployed along the Israeli border. But we don't think they're about to target Israel. They conquered old Quneitra, and the border crossing, together with other rebels. Nearly all of the border between Syria and Israel is under the control of a variety rebel groups," the source added.
"Al-Nusra has said their war is against the Syrian regime, but that when they are done, the turn of the Jews will come. We are preparing," the officer said.
All of the rebels groups are armed with a large range of weapons, including light arms, explosives, mortars, artillery, armored personnel carriers, and tanks. Some include ex-Syrian soldiers in their ranks who know how to operate the weapons.
Israel is continuing to accept injured Syrians, irrespective of their affiliation, for humanitarian medial treatment in Israeli hospitals.
Irish were ambushed. They were travelling in their Mowags and used their 12.7mm guns to blast their way out of the ambush.
One of their Mowags got hit with an IED and had its wheel blown off.
They debussed and engaged al Nusra before being picked up by the rest of the patrol and exited under IDF directions from over te border
One of the Irish guys suffered injuries in that contact.
They drove into a prepared ambush.
Both sides of the road were mined with IED's.
One of their MOWAGS ran off the road executing a J turn and hit the prepared IED blowing off its rear wheel.
al Nusra put down heavy fire on the kill zone
The Irish just turned their 12.7mm's outwards and let go.
Ro Teimumu has pulled off the debate because Baini did not come the last time, remember?
Hahahaha! That is the weakest excuse I've ever heard. The slut is politically dead.
3 engagements in the last two weeks.
Two with the Filipino's and one with the Irish
The Filipino's and the Irish are well prepared troops and defended themselves and came out of the engagements okay.
Just shows that it comes down to the vetting and preparation of troops, and now raises a serious question whether our boys were vetted and prepared for that Golan mission ?
Notice how there are all these diversions about Irish peacekeepers to try to drown out the only news that matters - Ro Teimumu is a tamani sized LAMUSONA!
Yes, I noticed that. Pathetic. But what else can SODELPA do? And what happens if the hostages are freed and everything ends happily ever after? What do they do then? They are so frigging stupid. No hopers as well as queens.
Those Irish Mowags have 30 mm guns in addition to the 12.7mm's.
The Irish Government provided the equipment for their troops last April after the Yarmouk brigade started operations in the UNDOF area.
The Irish, as the Filipino's read the strategic environment and the battlefield and their Military Commanders and Government prepared them accordingly
I'd rather vote for an adulterer than a murderer. Murder is a more serious despicable act than adultery and is an illegal offence punishable by death in many states, unless, if we adopt sharia law wherein adultery also becomes an offence punishable by stoning to death.
Bhai and Khai want to bring in sharia law into Fiji.
Under heavy engagement with al Nusra, in the span of the last two weeks, both the Filipino's and the Irish have shown how well they were prepared and provisioned for the mission in the Golan.
The Irish fought their way out of a prepared ambush and the Filipino's fought their way out of a siege.
Our boys were skyping and having a birthday party with nurses and female officers on Wednesday night as the al Nusra advance team recced position 27.
And at first light, as they were getting out of bed, our boys were encircled by the al Nusra main force and subdued.
Position 27 has surveillance cameras but it seems no one was watching the monitors on Wednesday night. They were busy partying
Trying to focus on Ro Teimumu's personal weakness is conveniently trying to hide the weakness of this illegal regime in its failure to get our soldiers released from their captivity.
This illegal regime has failed the people of Fiji. Let's vote it out.
This is very similar to how the Tongan Marines undertook an exfiltration op and came deep into Fijian waters to extract Roko Ului off the coast of Kadavu whilst our Navy base monitors at Walu Bay were asleep.
Graham Davis alert at Anonymous 8:17.
Nice to know he was planning to vote SODELPA, even if only for a short time, before he reverted back to his support for treason. I guess he decided that crime pays, and just too well to turn back now.
The Irish and Flipino soldiers fought their way out to freedom. The Fijian soldiers slumbered their way in to captivity.
Sort of like what they did to us here in Fiji.
The Israeli Times has a piece published last week which questions the preparation of our Fijian troops for these UN mission and specifically UNDOF given the changed situation on the ground in that area.
We need to consider this issue seriously. Its a policy issue which now goes to the heart of the availability of UN missions for Fiji as related to our capacity to undertake those missions.
Forget about future peacekeeping missions under this regime. Ain't gonna happen. Fiji's credibility is gone. Moce jo.
Its observation post which means that there are supposed to be eyes always looking over that area of responsibility of position 27 non stop 24/7.
There is a logbook where incidents are recorded and where movements of armed elements recorded, including aircraft which fly over the position.
The men are taught to know the types of aircraft flying past and to record those details.
The men are taught to know the types of weaponry being used and record those details.
And the CO has access to on going Intelligence about the whole of the UNDOF areas from top to bottom and access to the details of reports from the positions around him, including sit reps.
If an Observation Post has been caught unawares and taken over by encirclement then there are questions whether there was any observation being done at all from that post ?
Fiji's regime-controlled media will not report al-Nusra's demand that Bainimarama resign or his soldiers will die. Nonetheless, all across the Middle East and Fiji, the same thing is on people's mind. They're thinking of Bainimarama and asking:
Got rope?
They must have been busy observing each other get grog doped...and were unaware that Al-Nusra was observing them, observing each other, which therefore lead to the surrounding terrain being unobserved.
No one will want to recruit RFMF for peacekeeping missions. This was an observation mission where they were so unobservant that they were captured unawares by a group of terrorists. This is an army that was sworn to protect the government and Constitution of Fiji.
Need I say more?
It's sad what has happened to our once-proud military, first under Rabuka, but especially under Bainimarama. They've led our army to the dogs.
Not just UN PKOs. Also kiss goodbye to personal protective details. Who's going to want to trust their high value package to Fijians, based on our recent record? Who's going to want to explain to their higher-ups why they took a chance on this lot?
FOR THOSE WHO CARE TO TAKE INTEREST IN RO'S PERSONAL LIFE,IT WORTHS THE TIME IF SHE WAS DOING UNNATURAL ACTS LIKE GETTING IN BED WITH A LADY. IF IT WAS A MAN AND LADY AFFAIR THAN THERE IS NOTHING WRONG TO IT EXCEPT IF YOU ARE A PERFORMER OF UNNATURAL ACT OR WANTS THE SAME MAN. SHE IS HERE TO LEAD THIS COUNTRY.
BY THE WAY YOUR DEPUTY PRIME MINISTERS AND MINISTER OF MANY PORTOFOLIO INCLUDING FIJI UNDERMINE LEGAL SYSTEM DRAFTED A DECREE ALLOWING EVERYONE IN FIJI TO LIVE IN DE- FACTO RELATIONSHIP. WHY BRING THIS CASE A BIG ISSUE WHEN THE ROOT CAUSE IS LEFT UNATTENDED AND UNRITICISED.
That ambush against the Irish last week is an indication of al Nusra's intent.
They now see UNDOF as combatants in that area.
And that is bad news for us because it ties in with (and explains) their announcement that our boys will be tried under Sharia law as combatants.
And it also explains why they have closed off all channels of communications with the UN on the issue of the Fijian prisoners.
People should understand why this government are doing all these left, right, centre for instance upgrading roads, handouts,etc, for Fiji because it has no opposition to challenge them. In a democratic government you won’t see this happening because there will be lots of opposition since a lot of money are involved here.
THIS SHOULD BE A GOOD ARGUMENT POINT FOR SODELPA & OTHER PARTIES
Fiji first Party Supporters, please tell your leaders stop fooling the public because you are doing what you can do without any restrictions or oppositions and our future generations will have to foot the bill in US currency from money borrowed in Chinese currency.
Dakuwaqa argured that we should repudiate Fiji's illegal debts. I'm all for that.
I think ot was Just Situational Logic who then pointed out that the more Bainimarama's government borrows--even if it's just to be elected--the more important it will be NOT to vote for Bainimarama, so that we can repudiate his illegal debts.
That's a great idea, and a big incentive NOT to vote for FFP.
So If Ro Temumu did it but FB killed innocent civilians and committed the highest crime of the country-abrogating the constitution.
So what is your point actually?
Can one of you dumb ass racist bigots out their please explain to the rest of us what is the i-taukei way of life that you keep referring to that is under threat. And for peats sake do not bring Jesus into the picture. Religion is simply a belief and it is not a way of life. kere kere vakabibi please highlight the way of life that you want to protect.
FOR YOUNG AND NEW VOTERS
DO NOT BE CARRIED AWAY WITH THE PROVISIONS THAT BAINIMARAMA IS PREDICTING BECAUSE IT WILL BE DEBATED UPON IN PARLIMENT WHEN ITS IMPLIMENTATION IS REQUIRED. THE CERTAINITY OF ITS REALITY IS AT RISK. HE CAN SAY NOW THAT HE DID THIS, THAT AND THOSE, BUT WAS DONE ON AN UNCONSTITUTIONAL AGENDA AND UNDEMOCRATIC WAY. VOTE WISELY AND YOU HAVE SEVEN OPTIONS TO CHOOSE FROM. REMEMBER THAT ALL PROVISION COMES AT A COST AND NOTHING IS PROVIDED FREE AS FF IS PROMISING. FOR YOUR INFORMATION I PAY FOR ALL GOVERNMRNT PROVISION TO PUBLIC BECAUSE I AM A TAX PAYER
@anonymous 12:01
Which post are you referring too?
I think you are hearing voices.
YOU SOUND LIKE A DICKHEAD PLAYING IN HIS OWN SANDPIT and talking to himself.
YOU MUST BE DELUSIONAL BROTHER
YOU SOUND LIKE AN FFP CANDIDATE....ie FARKED IN THE HEAD!
You must be suffering from Post Traumatic Stress or something.
Anon 12.01pm..The i-taukei way of life is its tradition where respect and love for your fellowman is foremost important that material things. Materialism has trampled these values. Religion is not only a belief but materialises in the we live our lives. What is interesting is that religion has brought the best out of our tradition and has done away with those aspects that hinder our progress. It's all around you, open your eyes. Unfortunately many still think that religion is a mind game, no it's not. Even the power of western civilisation came though Judeo-Christian values as you can see today.
THE FIJI ARMY HAS LOST NOTHING.THOSE CAPTURED ARENT COMBATANTS,THEY ARE TRAINED TO PUT PEACE OR PEACEFUL SOLUTIONS FIRST.THEY SURRENDERED FOR PEACE,THEY ARE NOT THERE TO ENGAGE IN WARFARE BUT TO KEEP THE BUFFER ZONE FROM BEING INFILTRATED BY REBELS WHO WILL TRY TO LOB SOME GRENADES INTO ISRAEL. I AM PROUD WE TOOK THE PEACEFUL STAND.THEY WERENT SCARED OF BEING CAPTURED BY THE REBELS,DONT FORGET THAT.THEY WERE ALL ARMED AND COULD HAVE ENGAGED THE REBELS BUT OPTED FOR PEACEFUL SOLUTIONS WHICH IS THE MAIN REASON WHY THEY WERE CALLED TO GOLAN IN THE FIRST PLACE.WE STILL HAVE THE MISSION AND VISION INTACT.THE AL NUSRA KNOWS THAT THESE ARENT CATS BUT RATHER LIONS BOUND BY ROE AND DUTY.
Put very simply the i-taukei way of life is one where it's leaders wish to retain status and it's perks on the basis of who they are and not what they have done to earn respect and the position.
Put very simply the i-taukei way of life is one where they wish others to believe that materialism has little value to them but in the dark many will steal whatever they can.
Put very simply the i-taukei way of life is one where they use religion as a club for social gatherings.
Put very simply the i-taukei way of life is one where they want as much as they can get for doing as little as possible.
Put very simply the i-taukei way of life is one where they need to be led because they have not yet learnt how to think for themselves or take any responsibility for their destiny.

FOR YOUR DUMP ASS INFORMATION WE FIJIANS OR THE I-TAUKEI WAYS OF LIFE ARE BEING THREATENED IN MANY WAYS BECAUSE WE ARE FORCED TO FOLLOW THE RULE OF LAW THAT WAS IMPOSED ON US. WE ARE FORCED TO ACCEPT EVERYONE INCLUDING YOUR DUMP AS GENERATION AND NOW THE NEW CIRRRULUM CALLED THE WASEA BASHA FORCING US TO LEARN INDIAN LANGUAGE. OUR TRADITIONAL MEKE STYLE IS GONE AND MEKE CHANTINGAS WELL THROUGH THE INTRODUCTION OF TADRA KAHANI. KEREKERE IS GONE WHERE EVERYONE CAN SHARE AT GOOD WILL THROUGH INTRODUCTION OF BARTER SYSTEM. GETTING MARRIED TO A CLOSE RELATIVE, MAN TO MAN AND WOMAN TO WOMAN WERE TABOO UNTIL THE ENFORCEMENT OF INDIVIDUAL/HUMAN RGHT. TRADITIONAL RESPECTEFUL DRESSING ARE GONE THROUGH INTRODUCTION OF TV ADVERTISEMENT AND UNCENCESSORED RADIO ADVERTISEMENT. WE ARE LOOSING ALOT AND OUR LAND IS ABOUT TO GO TOO CONSIDERING THE REMARKS GIVEN BY NON I-TAUKEI DELIBERATING HOW OUR LAND IS PROTECTED. WE ARE FORCED TO HAVE FISH AT A COST BECAUSE OF THE SYSTEM FORCED TO ACCEPT EVERYONE EAT FROM A LIMITED RESOURCE
There was a piece of land belonging to FIJI SCOUTS ASSOCIATION and Frank forcefully transferred it to Tarun Ambalal to build a Hotel with tax benefits ,Scouts could not do a thing as directive came from Frank and no one wanted to challenge even FEA Hasmuk was ordered to run free cables to the property. Funny as soon as it waqs build it was sold and have been told franks Family company is the buyer ,hello Fiji go look at records at lands and city council how this prime land was forcefully taken fro Scouts and given to a friend by Frank and then taken back by his company where he is a sleeping partner
Sodelpa all the way why should marama kalevu even debate with this piece of sh.t who is no brain loser and a corrupt bstd
The earlier writer is the property in Toorak near Dudley school,it was a scouts property all the time as was compensation for land used to do the old toorak road So now the hotel belongs to Bais family and Tarun Ambalal in hiding .
"THEY ARE NOT THERE TO ENGAGE IN WARFARE BUT TO KEEP THE BUFFER ZONE FROM BEING INFILTRATED BY REBELS WHO WILL TRY TO LOB SOME GRENADES INTO ISRAEL."
Okay.
So now its clear.
al Nusra were "not a rebel group" infiltrating the area but the local Quenteira boy scouts on excursion some where near position 27 and just happened to be playing and with water cannons lobbing water bombs at Israeli positions as well as Syrian positions.
It was a really peaceful demonstration of free love in the beautiful Golan.
Oh the al Nusra boy scouts had a jamboree in the Fijian sector and they had a big tralala and all that. And they did a housewarming in Fijian position 27 and then they had a Tuiboto where the Fijians were kind of frog marched here and there.
It was really all very peaceful.

Al Nusra Front Captures Israel-Syria Border Crossing
Israel Daily News Stream
August 27, 2014
2. The Al-Qaeda affiliated Al Nusra Front captured the Israeli-Syrian border crossing at Quneitra. The Times of Israel reports that an IDF officer was moderately injured by a stray bullet. Several mortars landed in Israeli territory.
“
The IDF said it had not determined whether the mortars were fired into Israel intentionally or were a spillover from fighting between rival factions on the Syrian side of the border.

RO TEMUMU FEARS NO ONE AND NOT EVEN YOUR VENOMOUS AND CRUEL ACCUSATIONS AGAINST HER WILL MOVE HER. SHE HAS BEEN ASSIGNED TO LEAD AND SO SHE SHALL AGAINST ALL THE CRUEL, FALSE, CORRUPTIVE AND SLY ALLEGATIONS THAT ARE THROWN AT HER FROM LOSERS LIKE YOURSELF!!!
TRAITOROUS WRETCH!!!
Tui Viti
should be called TUI BOTO.
What a pathetic attempt at trying to explain the incompetence of Fijian soldiers.
Fijian soldiers obviously were not at their post.
Otherwise with those telescopes & cameras they should have seen al-Nushra from afar off.
BASICALLY THE REPUTATION OF FIJIAN SOLDIERS HAS NOW GONE DOWN THE TOILET....
Who will want them now?????
Definitely not Israel..
When VB failed to appear with Ro Teimumu for their debate few weeks back, Fiji Sun and FBC did not even mention it.
Edwin Nand never even mentioned this in his interview with the Marama and outsiders would have never known that VB was supposed to attend until the Marama uttered her disappointment with his absence!
One wonders why there was no mention.
Could it be that FBC is afraid of criticizing VB or being biased? Or is it that FBC is being BOTH biased and afraid?
Like all things I would think that this comes down to self-censorship still being practiced in the media despite all the protestations of the AG to the contrary.
And if anything the Fiji Sun and the other media companies are the cowards here for not publishing anything critical of govt. The closest the media come is when the opposition figures give their interviews then would the public even hear something critical of Govt.
Any reasonable person would be hard pressed to find any news piece that is critical of Govt, but critical pieces of the opposition abound. This gives Govt an unfair advantage and I hope the international observers and voters take note.
VB never even had the courtesy to decline outright for that debate with the Marama but make excuses for his cowardice. A cowardise that was then repeated in Golan to all of Fiji's shame, not just for Govt.
Now that the Marama declines to attend (which is more than I can say for VB's excuses for the first debate), Fiji Sun decides that it is newsworthy!
This is a clear example of self-censorship and media bias and this Govt needs to be voted out.
Since a few of you have answered my question as best as you can here is my response. Your way of life started disappearing the day you gave up wearing leaves and walking around half naked. You started loosing your culture the day you started eating bread. In essence the Fijian way of life as you knew it is over. All you seem to have is a half attempt at holding on to some things like your dances and your language. The fact is you live in the 21st century and no one i repeat no one in this world has escaped modernization. Your children one to look like black rock hip hop stars. Your ladies spent thousands trying to get their hair straight. My point is their are certain things in the i-taukei culture that you may just may be able to save but the rest you have already lost. I attended a completely i-taukei school and hence know a lot of the i taukei protocols and cultural values. Sadly i do not see these things anymore. In fact i probably know more about your cultural values than most of you so called proud i-taukei do.The world is moving too fast for some of you Dinosaurs . We are heading towards a paradigm shift in the way we humans live. Soon robots will be doing open heart surgery and we will be colonizing Mars and yet all you i-taukei are worried about is the freaking land which no one will take from you and the tit bits of your so called culture that you have destroyed yourself. You see only the custodian of a culture can destroy it no one else can. You choose to live like the west. You choose to love watching rugby on television which also shows programs like Groove Thang from which your children learn to emulate the stars. No one has taken anything from you except you. You see fella you cannot have your cake and eat it too. You cannot enjoy the things the Western world has to offer and than pick and choose want you want to keep from the ideology of the West which is equal values for all and democracy in it pure form without caveats.You don't want us Indians here that's fine. We all have family abroad in Aus NZ and The US. Get your party to win the elections and than force them to declare that you wish to no longer have the Indian community live here.We are just waiting for your leaders to say that. We will get refugee status visa's and leave. The question for you fellas is this what happens after the main economic engine of Fiji shuts down.
So where was FijiSun with its news article about VB not attending the first debate with Ro Teimumu on 4 the Record?
Where was FijiSun's criticism about Govt not releasing its AG reports?
Where was FijiSun's criticism about VB bailing Francis Kean out of jail and awarding him with a top Govt job?
The answer to all this is No, nada, nothing!
Why? Because FijiSun is AFRAID of VB, just like any other news organisation in Fiji.
FijiSun should be the last news organisation to call Ro Teimumu afraid because it will never publish anything critical of Govt.
That is SHAMEFUL and I hope voters and the international observers note that so far as media coverage about Fiji's elections is concerned, it is FijiSun and the media in general that is AFRAID!
Tui Viti should be Tui Boto
Why should Ro debate with a village idiot?? A real waste of valuable time.
Anyway ,,,,,latest feedback is that votes caste is 90% SODELPA.
Be afraid frank be very afraid,,,or be very sona levu....
Someones paranoid about Tui Viti or King of Feejee.If Al-Nyusra kills all 45 , we replace them with 70 soldiers ,but this time the rules will change,ROE is now shoot first negotiate later.Lets put these AL Nosera fuckers to the task.These are descendants of the English Crusade several decades ago,which is why they have fair skin and blue/grey eyes,this are not Arabs,Arabs fuck mules and young male Arabs.Why dont we send 5000 Fijian soldiers to show these miserable stinky farts that we are the LIONS OF THE DESERT.Lets invade Syria and carve out an area for ourselves,show these fuckers that we mean business.
FDN
"The Tebbutt-Times poll has shown that Bainimarama’s support as preferred PM has dropped from 60% to 49%. And FrankFirst Party found support among only 45% of voters polled. If this turns out to be right Bainimarama will have to learn how to say please and to listen to other people, because there’s no way he can become PM without support from at least one of other party. 45% of the vote gives him 22 or 23 seats in parliament, with the other seats probably split between SODELPA, NFP and FLP and PDP. He will have to allow other parties to have cabinet positions and to listen to more than Khaiyum, He’d better enroll in Cooperation Classes now because he’s got a LOT of ground to catch up."
who in Fiji First has not a 2nd marriage. Check their records. All fiji first candidates are womanisers from Khaiyum down. Compare what Ro Temumu did to the killing of CRW,toture, rape, etc,etc. We cannot be fooled because its not about Ro Temumu but its about our identity, land , culture, and our kids future. So what ever its still Sodelpa, Na qai na qai ga

@The question for you fellas is this what happens after the main economic engine of Fiji shuts down.
1. Easy, get the Australians and Kiwi's. They don't have bad intentions. They are are easy to work with. They are more honest. They have hotels and definitely they will create shopping centers and not temple.
2.Get the Chinese. They don't mingle with local politics. More smarter. They have more money then the Indians. More open not reserved and cunning.
3. Get all other nationalities. They don't intervene with our indigenous issues. More easier to mingle with and not too reserve like Indians. They respect the indigenous rights.
4. Get the Americans. They have more money. They are more advanced then the Indians.
5. Definitely the lost of the Indians will be a big positive to the locals who will definitely work hard to ensure their economy is stronger.
6. At the end we have more jobs for ourselves if you people leave.
The list goes on and on...
We dont need an economic engine. Even the recession did not affect us in fact many indians came back to Fiji because they could live like squatters, and live on the humbleness and kind heartedness of Fijians. You yourself anonymous 2.40pm must be in another world. To know fijian is one thing to live fijian is another. Ask the chinese even they have learnt the importance of Sunday and do not open their shops to have a rest and enjoy time with their family. You have been out of the country from the Dinosour time yourself ass hole.
Two weeks ago, in Sydney, an old Fijian lady asked Bai about the Ballot paper and the Village Idiot could not even answer the question.
Word everywhere is that Fiji First is in for a very nasty surprise. Elections in Fiji have always had nasty surprises for the presumptious pretenders. Civil servants and the wide public sector employees are just fed up of having to sing the tune of this lying, thieving and murderous regime. PSs and CEOs of key public institutions were clearly instructed to talk up the performances of their respective areas like Finance, FNPF, RBF and FRCA. These guys would normally not do this propaganda, for professional reasons. Word is some of them had to come to this compromise because they refused to join FF as candidates and instead suggested doing the propaganda from inside, hoping that it will give more credibility to the regime's performance. But people are not stupid. Indians (Hindu and Muslim) now realize that to vote for FF will prolong their ordeal and increase the pain since all trust and goodwill have been broken. The Syrian saga is a game changer, because the army realizes that they will be forgiven and accepted by the mainstream Taukei parties, who in fact are the only ones expressing genuine concern for their plight. Fiji First is isolating itself from the Army and leaving them to answer to all issues raised in the public. No one from the regime has ever been seen to be responding to the 45 saga with Tikoitoga, poor guy. Vote for FLP/NFP/SODELPA/OneFiji or anyother party or candidate but NOT Fiji First Party. A vote for Fiji First is a vote for ruin and pain in the near future when their entire charade falls apart. Taukei, Indians, Chinese, Kai Loma, Rotumans lets unite and vote anyone but Fiji First. Our only hope for a brighter, stable and prosperous future lies in getting FF Party out.
@2:40
Do you know that Indians who have left are always looking back to coming back to Fiji because of us. They miss us and found themselves hated everywhere they go. Talk to your relatives overseas and ask if they are happy and they will lie to you. So while you are still here why don't you work with us and not against us.
Observation on the ground has clearly indicated that SODELPA will win 30 seats, Fiji First 10 , NFP 5 sits, FLP 2 & PDP 3.
Voreqe must learn from History-Rabuka fought with the Methodist Church and lost the 2000 election.
Vei kemuni na sapota ni Fiji First sa rauta do something useful & join SODELPA and NFP.
Anonymous 12:53, I asked for an explanation of the iTaukei way of life from a dumbass racist bigot.
Thank you for responding.
anon 5.13pm
you moron this is not a jokes forum.....ulukau!
Had a kava session in village in west last night.......none of them voting fiji first and that goes for all of Ba Provincce ,,,,they fed up with changes in land law and bai not returning qoliqoli,,,,,,,,
Naupoto vakarau mo laupotu
SODELPA will win the number of votes cast by a landslide. But it's the number of votes COUNTED that matters.
So Fiji First will win. And, apart from pissing and moaning, whinging and whining, there's not a damn thing you gunts can do about it, either!
No oppositionist should be so foolish as to debate Frank on FBC News.
With Khaiyum's brother running FBC News, and FBC News hosting the debate, Frank would be made to look like a brilliant debater. FBC News could hurl tough questions at the opposition candidates but serve up soft pitches to the dictator. And unlike the other candidates, Frank would know the questions in advance. Qorvis would write recommended answers for him, based on voter demographics and tested on focus groups. FBC News and Qorvis would rehearse the answers with Frank in the days before the debate. FBC News might even be able to rig it so that Frank gets his own camera angle that includes a teleprompter, allowing him to read his answers from a carefully prepared script, in such a way that he appears to be speaking knowledgably, fluently and extemporaneously whilst looking directly into the camera. FBC News and regime spin doctors would then have a televised panel discussion directly afterwards at which they extol Frank's "amazing" performance. And the Fiji Sun will tell us the next day how Frank "won" the debate.
Sound fair to you? It isn't meant to be.
The opposition candidates should NOT allow themselves to fall in such a trap by accepting an invitation to debate proffered by FBC News.
But what SHOULD they do, given that the frightened regime won't even allow groups like the Citizens Constitutional Forum to host a debate?
It seems to me that the best recourse is for the political parties to arrange the debate amongst themselves. Each should nominate a representative to join with the others in making the arrangements.
This goes to the heart of a more general issue. The opposition parties need to stop being so docile and pliant in the face of the treason organising against Fiji under the stolen banner of Fiji First.
We need to stop playing by the regime's rules and start getting more creative, proactive and combatant, figuratively speaking. The regime won't allow groups like the CCF to host a debate, but that shouldn't stop the political parties from organising their own.
So far no communications with the rebels Al-Nusra for few days now. Now we are entering the 11th day. Days have turned into weeks and could be months and years. Has all hopes gone? Has all luck diminished? Are they still alive? If so are they still well looked after? Where are they now?
Tikoitoga said they are strong and well trained. Really? Then why surrender.
After 8 years ruling illegally and promising to clean up, they now:
- Give 10-20% pay rise to civil servants after 20% devaluation and 40% increase in cost of living
- Say native land is inalienable when they have taken away all safeguards in previous constitutions
- Unashamedly splashing public funds for vote buying like using navy boat for campaign trip, buying rubbish bins, sewing machines, and etc. etc. etc.
- Talking up all financial and economic indicators to try show good performance
- Still have no evidence of any real corruption except for the trumped up cases upheld by a corrupt judiciary
- Have amassed ill-begotten wealth for them and families
- Have widened and deepened mistrust between the major ethnic communities
- Sent the army to Syria in a dangerous mission without the proper preparation and resources, and have signed up alliances with countries that are in fact responsible for fuelling the Syrian regime’s massacre of the people these rebel groups are fighting for. WAKE UP FIJI ARMY THEY ARE DELIBERATELY NULLIFYING YOU.
So when it comes to elections they think we are stupid enough to vote for them. Vote for any other party or candidate BUT NOT FIJI FIRST. LETS GET RID OF THIS THIEVING, LYING, MURDEROUS, SPITEFUL, ROTTEN REGIME.
The regime claims no contact so far with Al-Nusra, but then, the regime claims lots of things and is nearly always lying.
Al-Nusra has made known several demands. Now, just HOW did it make those demands known in the absence of contact? Al-Nusra piled on new demands, like the ultimatum for Bainimarama's resignation by our election date, and the release of Al-Musri. That implies repeated contacts over time.
The regime says nothing about the ultimatum, nor is it mentioned in any of Fiji's regime-controlled press. What is the regime afraid of? Obviously, it doesn't want to add to the pressure for Bainimarama's resignation or allow people to think it might be his fault when he doesn't resign and Fijian heads begin getting chopped off.
Is Khaiyum also afraid this side of the story will become known? After all, his fortunes are tied to Bainimarama's.
Or ARE they?
Maybe instead he's itching for Bainimarama's resignation before the election, because in this short time period, he has the best opportunity to succeed as Prime Minister.
Maybe he even planned this whole thing through the Muslim Brotherhood.
A lot of unanswered questions. And Bainimarama has to wonder, because for sure Khaiyum knows more about this than he does.
Is it on twitter????
Abu Muhamed isn't the leader of Al-Nusra, and Muhammad isn't spelled that way.
You are a liar, whatever you call yourself.
Lions of the desert?
More like pussy cats of the litter box.
Heard from grapevine, al nusra has executed some Fiji soldiers.
Sounds like it wants to show the regime that it's serious in its demands that Bainimarama resign.
Maybe the regime is only saying that it hasn't been able to contact Al Nusra because it doesn't want to reveal Al Nusra's ultimatum that Bainimarama resign.
Tikoitoga nor guji media will report it or fiji first will receive no votes
If so, it's a crying shame.
It's also a shame that the men's families get more information from the terrorists than they do from the regime.
"The Frightened Felines of Fiji"
It must be frustrating for the families to see their loved ones used as pawns by people claiming to be "their own" government.
I heard the same thing. A Fijian soldier every day. But so far it's just a rumour. I haven't seen confirmation in any press.
It they cut off 45 heads, we will only send 45 more. That cannot deter our beloved leader from continuing as PM or stop the revolution.
How sad ,the comments about loving thy neighbour as thy self...Christ would be rolling in his tomb.Lets get to the point here.There are 45 people of poor background whose only form of employment is this dreaded RFMF and we continue to fight about which race is mightier. Lets all leave Fiji and go back to our respective countries ,shall we? We all came from another land at different times and in a hundred or so years ,there will be people of other races here who won't remember wh o was living here and fighting about "our' land or our country. They will simply be going about doing their daily chores not remembering Gandhi, George Speight, Rabuka AND LEAST Bainimaram and Aiyaz Khaiyum, lets focus and pray for the safe return of "our" fellow countrymen, who are pawns in the war of the crusades(as always,Muslims(moors) vs the christians.
All Tail Bainimarama, sorry to burst your bubble, but your "beloved" leader is the most hated man in the Pacific.
Well if you read your Bible you'll all know the promise to Cain and Ishmael. They are a people of war.
Beheadings are not new to the descendants of Abraham anyway.
Its in the Bible - David beheaded Goliath and took his head a trophy and threw it at the feet of Saul.
When David wanted the hand of Saul's daughter the price was the foreskins of a couple of 500 Philistines.
If you think about it, that's a pretty gruesome business. First you have to slot them, then you pull their pants down and shop of the foreskin from the ding a ling. They you have to count them all out to make sure you haven't missed any.
Lets just be thankful the current batch of guys over there haven't gone really deep into the Bible and Koran and found that verse.
Because it could be a hell of a lot worse for the UNHCR were they to start this business of chopping balls off as well over there and around the Jihadi networks around the world.
FOCUS AND PRAY FOR OUR BOYS, please don't say this is a Muslim v. Christian Crusade, or I will have no choice but to inform Gen. Tikoitoga that you are trying to incite religious violence.
Nothing to worry about, Anonymous 11:26. Frank took away our soldiers' balls several years ago.
Well the Christians are the late entrants to the whole thing because we came along after the Romans destroyed the temple in Jerusalem.
And then because Rome became Christian and because the bible talks about Jerusalem we decided we want to go there and reclaim the place for Christianity, when in truth that place was not the birth place of Christianity but the birth place of Jesus.
Anyway the Ottomans came along and built the Mosque on the Temple Mount
So that's that.
Now this business about UNDOF.
There is not a single Muslim country on UNDOF. All UNDOF contributing nations are Gentiles (to the Jews) and Kafir (to the Islamic Jihadis).
Think about it.

THIS GRAPEVINE, IS IT THE ONE AT THE SUVA MARKET GROG SHOP?? BECAUSE I'VE HEARD MANY THINGS THERE THAT WILL BLOW YOUR MIND.Like the one about how the fisherman from Beqa once found a hurricane lamp underwater, which was still lit and had no glass around the flame.
11.43 pm, hate to break the news to you ,but Jesus WASN'T BORN IN JERUSALEM,he was born in Bethlehem, i.e Syria. He was and still is a SYRIAN JEW and will always be Syrian
Anonymous 11:43, I don't have to think about it, because the reason is obvious. Israel is the world's only Jewish nation, and another Muslim nation wouldn't be trusted to enforce the UN disengagement mission on its border objectively. As it is, India is already there, which, although predominantly Hindu, still numbers hundreds of millions of Muslims among its populace.
@ focus
Sorry to disappoint you but the faith of Christianity is well and truly grounded in the power of the Resurrection.
And NOTHING in this world, hell, hades or come what may.. can ever ultimately defeat the faith of the One Who Lives! Our Risen Christ! He came, saw and conquered death so that the rest of mankind might LIVE - choosing hope over anguish and despair unlike your pal, Judas-name-your-price-Iscariot.
Christus Vincit! Christus Regnat! Christus Imperat!
Christ wins! Christ reigns! Christ commands!
Anonymous 11:50, you're BOTH wrong. But he was closer to the truth than you. Bethlehem is a Palestinian city located in the central West Bank, only about six miles south of Jerusalem.
Yes well Antiochus was the big boss in Syria at that time (at the pleasure of the Romans of course)and his buddy Herod got this idea to set up the image of Jupiter at the temple in Jerusalem which led to some guy called Maccabee going on the warpath.
But that's by the by, of course Jesus was born in a Palestine which was governed by Antiochus who the Romans had set up to manage their interests on that side of Med. And this Antihocus fella was part of a dysnasty which was a descended from one of the Generals who had come down that way on an outing with Alexander way back in the day when the Macedonians played cricket over there so its kind of all mixed up really.
Think about it
Geez was Jesus a Syrian ? hmmmm
And by the way all those blue eyed, green eyed, blond, red headed etc etc etc falla's running around screaming Takfir in Syria with the al Nusra cheering squad were most probably descendants of the Macedonian guys who shacked up with the Syrian beuties they met and decided Syria was a hell of a better place then over the water back in Macedonia
11.56 and 12.00 am
YES Whilst Bethleham may NOW be in West Bank, it was part of ASSYRIA in the days of his birth ,remember Damascus in the Bible? well it still remains part of Assyria to this day. Incidentally ISRAEL and THE WEST BANK and GAZA were formed by the British in 1948, prior to which it was what the warring and conquering tribes had called it and with remnants of names left behind from ancient days..Believe me, I went to a bible college and I have just finished reading the book JERUSALEM.good read by the way..ALSO JESUS CHRIST IS THE TITLE GIVEN TO THE KING OF MAN,His real real name is JOSHUA BEN JOSEPH !!!
JISU KARISTO IS A TITLE, NOT A GIVEN NAME
Before I bid y'all a blessed night, focus is right in that we should all remember our captured troops in our daily prayers as I did especially at mass earlier this evening since it was actually a very special occasion ("The Feast of the Nativity of our Blessed Mother Mary" - the b'day of the Blessed Mother which was celebrated well before Islam even came into existence in the 7th century).
So... a heartfelt prayer to our Lady Advocate for our forlorn troops, most probably crying a river by Babylon:
"Hail Holy Queen (Salve Regina)
Hail, holy Queen, Mother of Mercy!
Our life, our sweetness, and our hope!
To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve;
to thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears.
Turn, then, most gracious Advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us;
and after this our exile show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.
Pray for us O Holy Mother of God,
That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ. Amen"
May God Bless Fiji.
Sodelpa leader a big lamb sons.
She pulled out of debate with Baini.
I listened to the so called chief on straight talk program- she can hardly communicate- and she wants to lead the country?
What a joke.,
Please go back to the village and e the king or queen for those innocent Itaukies who she has and continues to bludge as a chief
Hahaha. So you're supporting Bainimarama, an idiot who can hardly string two syllables together?
I'm sorry to break it to you, since you're trying to write a term paper or something making the argument, but Jesus was not a Syrian.
Jesus was born in Palestine, a region that fell between Syria and Egypt. The Assyrian Empire no longer existed. Bethlehem at the time of Jesus' birth was not part of Syria or Assyria. The world's oldest city, Damascus is now the capital of Syria. Assyria has not existed in any form since the mid-seventh century A.D.
At the time of Jesus’ birth, Roman legions garrisoned Syria and Egypt but not Palestine. Rome relied on King Herod to keep the peace. When he soon died, administration of the region passed to his children, who were no longer regarded as kings, but by various titles. Emperor Augustus eventually deposed one and sent a procurator to rule in his stead, supported by a detachment of legionnaires.
Jesus was a Galilean, not a Syrian. Jesus did not speak Syriac but Aramaic.
During Jesus' public career, Galilee was governed by the tetrarch Antipas, who was sovereign within his own domain, provided that he remained loyal to Rome and maintained peace and stability within his borders.
Judaea (including Jerusalem) was nominally governed by the Roman procurator Pilate, but the actual daily rule of Jerusalem was in the hands of the high priest Caiaphas and his council.
Obviously al Nusra know their Koran and Bible history too.
That's why they are calling Syria the land of Shem, and they refer to themselves as the warriors of the land of Shem.
Shem was one of the son's of Noah
He is named in the Talmud by the name Shem.
Its is also believed that he is the one named in the bible as Melchizedek "the Righteous One" who blessed Abraham after he came back successful from war with the guys who had kidnapped Lot and Mrs Lot and Lots kids and the rest of Lots gang.
Jesus is described in the book of Hebrews as a High Priest in the Order of Melchizedek.
So really this business going on over there between al Nusra and Assad is one family squabble and their Hebrew relatives of the House of Jacob are sitting on the other side of the fence watching the spectacle of their cousins trashing the House of Shem and smashing each other.
And when one of their cousins happens to fall over the border all shot up the Hebrews take him to hospital and patch him up and then send him back home to the House of Shem to carry on with the latest domestic dispute which has been going on for the last four years.
Wow.someone is trying to be politicaly correct about everything said,even spelling on this one sided blog,reminds me of an old man who is suffering from CEKE,his ball is always one sided like Kua ni Ceke sorry Kua ni Rere thus their one sided comments.Abu Muhamed was the son of a prostitute,he grew up in a tough Syrian neighbourhood and is filled with anger because he always witness his mother banged by the neighbours to earn money.So he grew up joined the Jordanian Military and rose to the rank of General .He was instrumental in deliveirng arms to the Syrians so he was posted to Syria but later resigned and formed the rebel group Al Nusra Front.His mother died after choking on one of her male members unmentionables.Now his anger has shifted to the UN Soldiers because they often shag the women of Syria for $10 bucks,check the you tube movies on Syrian Women making out with UN Soldiers on old abandoned buildings.When it comes to money these Muslim women abndon their faith and spread their legs for a miserable $10 bucks to feed their kids.They have become widows due to the war and now there a lot more cunts or pussies in Syria than dicks.True Story.
The title of this article is disgusting...on one hand, it laments the loss of 45 Fijians and on the other politicizes the misfortune of those captured. That was a long shot to defame FB in the guise of concern. You guys running this blog will never learn. I'm feeling sorry for you already...what will you do if YOUR party loses? Think... (lol)
We have plans A B C D & E etc ... that's as if we will lose the election, which is very unlikely. Do you think we're stupid?
.....Sa kalougata mada ni warai ni ra qai tiko na nona sotia yalewa eh???

Do we think you're stupid? Well, actually, yes!
And gutless, too.
You mean, as stupid as Bai who spat out a tirade of obscenities against Fr Barr, a Catholic Priest? And as gutless as Bai (again) when made that dash where he beat Usain Bolt's record?
What is joke Fijian Judiciary "Judge Justice Kamal Kumar delivered his ruling this afternoon and said that the court does dismisses application made by Singh on constitutional redress. Justice Kumar also ordered Singh to pay $3000 in costs to the Office of the Supervisor of Elections and the Attorney General’s Office.
What a joke. God knows what will happen if Bainimarama's and Khaiyum's FFP comes into powers.
People of Fiji wake up and VOTE Fiji Labour Party. Only party that could serve all Fijians
