Will the Real Illegal Fiji Ruler Stand Up

21 September 2011 The murderer Bainimarama wants the world to think that he is the head of the ruling Fiji military junta. But this is not true. He is not Fiji's ruler. After his Coup of 5 December 2006, the murderer Bainimarama recruited a lawyer Aiyaz Khaiyum as the illegal Fiji Attorney-General. Now, after nearly five years, the real Head of the illegal and repressive junta is Aiyaz Khaiyum. The sooner the murderer Bainimarama and the army leaders see it, the better it will be for them and for Fiji as a whole.

Khaiyum’s Cunning Plan
Khaiyum played a dangerous game to ascend to the throne of power. He played the game of give and take with the murderer. Initially, he gave in to whatever Bainimarama desired and laid the political and legal strategy on how to achieve it. Khaiyum convinced the murderer to retain the 1997 Constitution after the coup. He was really preserving his Australian status and his legal oath. Having retained the Constitution, he recognized that if the 2006 coup was taken to court, the illegal junta would lose. So he worked out a heinous plan to remove Chief Justice Fatiaki, by forcing him to resign. Next was the case brought by the deposed PM Qarase. It was heard before a panel headed by the ubiquitous Anthony Gates who was promised the position of Chief Justice. The quid pro quo was to rule that the coup was legal. It was so ruled based on the theory of the Doctrine of Necessity. It’s a good thing the Doctrine does not apply to murder as well. Gates carried out his part of the deal. Qarase appealed the decision and, after an interminable delay, the case was heard by an Apellate Court. The Court reversed Gates’ decision and ruled that the coup was illegal, the regime was illegal and all acts by it are illegal. The murderer Baininarama took Khaiyum to task for what happened but the latter proffered Bainimarama a solution...abrogate the Constitution, assume full and total power and control over the country, and govern and rule by Decree. Bainimarama did as he was advised.

Khaiyum’s Lust For Power
Khaiyum, having savoured power, wanted more. To achieve it he had to accomplish several things. First, he had to create his own power base. Bainimarama had the Army and he had nothing. So Khaiyum roped in his family. Judge Nazat Shameem and her sister Shaista Shameem who resigned her Government post and joined the cabal. Khaiyum’s aunty Nur Bano Ali and her Accounting Firm did likewise. So did all members of their family. Soon, Khaiyum had a huge circle of people that had more power than Bainimarama and the Military.

To ensure control over the murderer Bainimarama, Khaiyum conceived a plan for massive salary payments, which his aunty’s Accounting Firm dispensed. Khaiyum then had a choke hold over Bainimarama with evidence of corruption and fraud. Khaiyum moved to expand his power base in the regime’s administration. He influenced the murderer to endow him several Ministries to explain the high salary but really it was to expand his power outreach. Bainimarama went along with all of Khaiyum’s moves and countermoves believing that it was for his own good, while blind to Khaiyum’s real intentions. After all, Khaiyum has a university education whereas Bainimarama is an ignoramus.

The Land Grab
Khaiyum’s power circle then went after what they sought the most, Fijian land. While nearly 80% of the businesses in Fiji are owned by Indians, 83% of the land is owned by the indigenous Fijians. To access this prize Khaiyum had to remove two key stumbling blocks, the Great Council of Chiefs and the Methodist Church. The Great Council of Chiefs was dissolved through Khaiyum’s nurturing, for his own ends that Bainimarama had no clue about. Just like the 2006 Parliament of Fiji that remains non-existent. Khaiyum again used Bainimarama, while still staying in the background, by influencing the murderer to miniaturise the Methodist Church and to remove some of the more militant Fijian Church officials. The Church however held fast. So Khaiyum went about it another way. He persuaded Bainimarama that land use is vital to Fiji’s economic development and that a Land Bank was the solution. Subsequently, a Land Bank was created. The greedy, avaricious culprit Khaiyum controls the Land Bank.

Controling The Army Through Its Commander
But Khaiyum is cunning. He knows that he can’t get rid of Bainimarama because the murderer controls the army and the army is the source of power in Fiji. So Khaiyum has to control the army through its Commander, the murderer Bainimarama. If you control the Commander then you control the Army. This is exactly the situation in Fiji today!

The Real Junta Ruler
The murderer Bainimarama rules the military junta only in name. The main power and brains behind the throne is Khaiyum and his inner circle. Khaiyum effectively manipulates the murderer Bainimarama to get the Army to do what he wants done, while the murderer and the army are blissfully unaware of what is really taking place.

Bainimarama used the army to remove the Great Council of Chiefs, suppress the Methodist Church, marshal the Fijian people, take control of Fijian land and maintain total control of the country in the belief that it is for Fiji’s benefit. This is incorrect! It was for the benefit of Khaiyum and his inner circle. The murderer Bainimarama and the army have been puppets and Khaiyum and his inner circle are the puppeteers. It is also Khaiyum and his inner circle who are devising the ingenious and insidious plan to privatise and use rigged voting machines for the 2014 elections, if it is held. After the illegal and fraudulent elections, Khaiyum will have no further use for Bainimarama and he and his inner circle will be the ruling elite in Fiji. Khaiyum will have a battery of Sri Lankan lawyers and highlypaid Australian and New Zealand opportunists who answer to him, to back him up. As a young political activist, Khaiyum tried to build bombs to destroy Fijian politicians and political parties. Today, he uses Bainimarama, the army and the decrees to achieve the same objective. The real ruler of the illegal junta in Fiji is Aiyaz Khaiyum. The sooner the murderer Bainimarama and the army leaders see it, the better it will be for them and for Fiji
