the Dictator, MDP, the British and Christianity

Ooooh! I am bloody scared! MDP will bring Christianity to the Maldives! I shall have my work cut out as the devil.

our Beloved Pharoah for Life Golhaabo is desperately throwing everything at his opponent now that the push has come to shove. But what he throws can be equally thrown back. Our Beloved God and Leader for Life, Golhaabo claims that the MDP is going to make the Maldives into a British colony and we will all be converted into Christianity. And the proof of it?

Anni studied in the UK! So therefore he must be Christian, right? WTF! that old demented, dim-witted fart is becoming unfunnier by the second.

I just dug a little and see what I found.

- Golhaabo's four children Farish, Dunya, Yumna and Ghassan studied in the UK - Dunya and Yumna studied at St.George School and then Yumna studied in Oxford. Dunya went to CHRIST'S COLLEGE in Cambridge named after Jesus Christ . It says on their website "Christ's College was first established as God's-house in 1437 by William Byngham, a London parish priest" so the College is actually established to spread Christianity. And Golhaabo's Dunya studied there and was known to sing in the church choir.

Christ College chapel choir in procession

Farish Maumoon studied at Eton College, London. It says on the college website "Eton is a religious foundation and religion continues to play a central role in the life of the community"

"Boys of the Jewish, Islamic and and other faiths are excused Sunday Chapel if their parents wish, but are expected to take part in School services on weekdays . " and it goes on to say "Services in both Chapels follow the practice of the Church of England."

So Farish Maumoon must have participated in the School Services by Church of England!

Eton College Church

- Golhaabo is the only one who has imported a Cross into the Maldives. The Grand Cross of St.Michael and St.George. No one has imported a Cross into the Maldives.

OTHER PROMINENT GOLHAA FAMILY AND DRP CRONIES WHO STUDIED IN THE UK

- Nattu's three nieces Zuha, Nuha, and Aminath Ulaa (fareesha and summeray's kids) studied in the Uk. Nuha is married to a British guy and their eldest child is called Jude.

- Golhaabo's nephews Shaheen Hameed, Yassin Hameed, and niece Hala Hameed studied in UK. Shaffa Hameed is studying in UK right now.

- Boh Mundhood also studied in the UK.

- Thasmeen studied in University of Warwick, UK.

- it was golhaabo who got help from Hill & Knowlton of the UK

- it was golhaabo's personal photographer Hassan Najmy who was the head of the Maldivian church

- It was golhaabo's Executive Director at the Presidential Palace, Adam Naeem, whose clinic AMDC (Association of Maldivian Devotees to Christ) was the centre of the missionary work in the Maldives in the nineties.

So who was it who has more connection with the UK and Christianity?

DON'T VOTE FOR ANNI, the PERSON! VOTE FOR DEMOCRACY

DON’T VOTE FOR ANNI, THE PERSON- VOTE FOR A DEMOCRATIC MALDIVES


Many people are in a dilemma as who to vote for because they are caught between a rock and a hard stone. Many who supported Dr.Hassan Saeed or Qasim are at their wits end as to what to do now. Some people say Maumoon is better than Anni. Some say Anni is a mini-Maumoon. Is it the case of the devil you know is better than the devil you don’t? (and I am not talking about me hehe).

Let’s look at some hard facts:

1 Which of these has murdered our own people?

2. Which of these has turned a blind eye to his own citizens being tortured in jail?

3. Which of these has given more top jobs to his family and relatives? Maumoon in his cabinet? Or Anni in the MDP?

4. Which of these has misused state-funds for his own use living a lavish lifestyle where as people like you and I are living in cramped conditions? Do we know of any accusations against Anni misusing MDP funds to live a better lifestyle?

A lot of my friends who voted for Dr.Hassan Saeed are worried about voting for Anni because they are caught in DRP’s hard-sell that Anni is a mini-version of Maumoon. Ok. For argument's sake let us accept that it is true. My question is would you rather vote for a mini-version of Maumoon or would you rather vote for the Mega-version of Maumoon, which to me is a thousand times worse?

Finally, the issue is that we Maldivians are still living in closed dictatorial mind-set where we think that if we vote for Anni he will be able to get away with what our beloved leader for Foreverness Maumoon had done for the last 30 years.

My friends, THAT is where you are wrong. We are not voting for Anni. We are voting for democracy. If Anni is not up to scratch, if Anni does not deliver, if Anni fails on his promises, then we the people have a better chance to remove him from power in a vote of no-confidence rather than Golhaabo. It is us the people who are getting power, not Anni.

That small man of an Anni cannot do ANYTHING without OUR support. We can just as unmake him the way we make him. But if we vote for democracy, then it is here for good. Then we are FREE!

DON’T VOTE FOR ANNI, the Person! VOTE FOR DEMOCRACY! VOTE FOR FREEDOM! VOTE MDP!

How do you decide who to vote for? the low-down on the Presidential Candidates

"I don't know who to vote for" My friend Hassan said gloomily the other day.

So I have decided to make the choice a little easier for him by giving my take on the candidates.

Maumoon Abdul Gayoom (DRP)


Positives:-
This was a hard one and the only things I could come up was
- he has 30 years of executive experience
- Educated (albeit Arabic medium)

Negatives:-
- 30 years of dictatorial rule (several dead in custody, torture in jail, corruption, nepotism, you name it!)
- 30 years of family dominance. Now that Yameen has joined up, there is no reason to believe that it would not be another 5 more years of Kaaminee Clan rule
- nearly 15 years of state-sponsored drug lords given free reign in the country
- Encouraged Arabisation of the Maldives (he began the Arabic medium schools which has now lead to the country being run over by Haabees.
- too many negatives to list on one page

MOHAMED NASHEED (ANNI) MDP


Positives

- Educated
- Number one advocate of Democracy in the Maldives both in theory and practice;
- Belongs to the only party that has even a semblance of internal democracy (was elected by a majority of party members)
- A brave and bold soul who is not scared in face of adversity and has stood up to his principles and beliefs against all odds

Negatives
- severe lack of experience at top executive level;
- Still seen by many as too much of an activist
- too many family members involved in MDP makes people worry about Kaminee Clan being replaced by Keneree Clan
- many claim that he is too dictatorial


DR.HASSAN SAEED (NO PARTY)


Positives
- highly educated
- Experienced in top executive level (was AG in Golhaabo's government)
- Has got the resilient and 'unbreakable' Doc Shaheed as his Running Mate.


Negatives
- Very Low on democratic credentials (was instrumental in prosecuting several MDP activists)
- Lack of a political party means that he appears not to believe in multi-party democracy
- Questions about how he will function if elected, given that he does not belong to a party. How will he push his policies through the parliament? Is he waiting to get elected and then form a party in which case, the whole multi-party liberal democracy scenario flies out of the window for another 5 years.



QASIM IBRAHIM (REPUBLICAN)


Positives:
- Experienced in running his Villa Empire so the top job at executive level should not be too difficult for him
- Philanthropist and a generous person to poor people
- Was one of the founding members of MDP and instrumental in getting the constitution revised so democratic credentials somewhat established


Negatives:
- Severe lack of education
- Too closely associated with the Endheri Clan. Many see him as their stooge
- Was a democracy advocate but turned Golhaabo loyalist when it suited him; therefore makes it difficult to believe in what he says. Not very trustworthy.



IBRAHIM ISMAIL (SLP)


Positives
- Educated
- Outspoken critic of Gayyoom and was first President of MDP
- very liberal in his views (first to choose a female running mate)


Negatives
- seen to be dictatorial in his approach while President of MDP
- Party still needs to establish their democratic credentials (Ibra was not selected
to be the Party Candidate by a vote of all the members)
- somehow lacking in popular support


UMAR NASEER IDP


Positives:
- not scared to speak his mind


Negatives
- lack of education
- history of a violent past while in the NSS
- totally cuckoo policies relating to drugs and other issues



The above is just a brief take on all the candidates. Ultimately I believe it comes down to a choice of two candidates:- ANNIi and Dr.Hassan. The problem with Dr. Hassan for me is that he does not belong to a political party. I cannot foresee myself voting for someone who does not believe in party politics in our first multiparty elections. That for me is a big No-No. Together with his actions while AG, his democratic credentials are severely lacking. Perhaps if he can prove it in the next 5 years then he maybe a worthy future candidate.

The rest of the candidates have done nothing or could do nothing to negate their weaknesses apart from Qasim Ibrahim who has choosen an educated person as his Running Mate. However, his other negatives (too closely connected to Endheri Clan) makes him unelectable for me.

That leaves me with no choice but to vote for Anni by default - for the simple reason that he has managed to negate his biggest weakness in lack of experience in the top level by electing the highly experienced Dr.Waheed as his Running Mate. Although Dr. Waheed has had a tendency to run away in the past if unsuccessful (and there is no reason to believe he wont dump Anni if they do not get elected), he may stay and help run the government as an administrator if they are indeed elected.

Hassan, there is my take on the candidates. You can choose to vote for my choice which is Anni or you can vote for anyone you wish.

THE CHOICE IS YOURS!

Hulhumale Bridge -the cost of foreign investment

When our Beloved Leader and President for Life, His Mightiness, Maumoon Abdul Gayoom, announced that in the next five years he is going to build a big bridge between Hulhumale' and Male' and it will not cost us anything (Dhivehin nakah buradhan ufulaa kah nujeheyne) as it would be build using foreign investment, my Kaafa thought that means ...hey! We are getting a bridge for FREE!! And perfect reason to re-elect our God for another five more years. Yippee!

WTF! Nothing can be further from the truth. No company is going to invest in building a bridge for free out of the goodness of their heart. They would expect to make a decent PROFIT from the bridge. How? By charging the people who use it. And how much would we have to pay? I can bet on His Mightiness's Pimply derrière that it would cost nothing less than US $ 100 million! So how much would us, the poor people who want to use the bridge, have to pay every time we want to use it? And I bet it would cost a hundred times more than what we pay now for the ferry.

Moreoever, the foreign investment comes with its RISKS. For example, the investor does not have to be "completely obedient to the economic policies of the country where they have invested the money. At times there have been adverse effects of foreign direct investment on the balance of payments of a country."

What drives me livid, irate and choleric is that His Foreverness Maumoon has made it sound as if it would be no burden on us. I give you, he can lie through his teeth without a blink of those slimy eyes. What a load of tosh! The burden would have to be born by us people of Male'/Hulhumale.

Don't get me wrong. I am not against a bridge between Hulhumale' and Male'. As someone who would be moving to Hulhumale' soon I would be happy to travel via a bridge rather than a choppy sea any day. And if I can afford it, I would gladly pay for the toll.

My bone of contention with Our one and only Leader for Life is HE LIED saying that people will not have to pay for it. Whether it is build by foreign investment or from our own budget, we will still have to pay for it.

The people of Maldives will still have to pay for the bridge. CAPISCE?

Gayoom disowns Dunya as daughter - so will the real daddy please stand up!

I was shocked blue last night and could not believe my ears when I heard our beloved President, God and Leader for Forever Maumoon Abdul Gayyoom last night declare on Dhifm that he has no family members in the top strata of the government. That means that Dunya Maumoon, the loabi loabi Deputy MInister of Foreign Affairs is not his daughter (and subsequently Yumna by the virtue of the fact that she is Dunya's twin)

This confession that Dunya (and Yumna) are not his daughters is not surprising, says one of his ex-cronies. It is alleged that Madame She-Lady was pregnant when His Foreverness married her. So short of undergoing a paternity test to establish the fatherhood of the twins, one could only speculate as to the possible and probable daddy that they might have of which there are two serious contendors.

First and number one on the list is Zahir Hussain. Zahir Hussain was the one that Nasreena Madam She-Lady married when our Beloved Leader for Life divorced her in a triple divorce (thin fah vari). So it is possible that she married him of all people because she has already been with him in the past. Maybe he is the real father of the twins.

Second on the list is Fathulla Jameel. Fathey was apparently Nasreena's first love. When he dumped her she was heart-broken and apparently refused to eat for several days (Un-break my heart Say you'll love me again Undo this hurt you caused.._

Über-mysterious eh?

So WILL THE REAL DADDY PLEASE STAND UP..

SHOULD THE MDP JOIN THE QASIM COALITION?

Dhivehi Observer reported that, "Male’ - 12:30 - Adhaalath Party and Maldives National Congress have formally endorsed Qasim Ibrahim’s presidential bid".

What the DO did not raise is the issue whether the MDP would join in?

And why not? The MDP was formed to bring reform to the Maldives; in effect, to try and establish a proper multi-party democracy where each of us would be guaranteed our fundamental rights as human beings, not just in name but in practice as well. So far so good.

But then why should the MDP join the Republican Party's bid to bring Qasim to power when they are fielding their own candidate? Surely this is against their party ethos to support another candidate's bid? And what guarantee is there that backing Qasim would bring democracy to the Maldives?


IF YOU ACCEPT THAT MAUMOON ABDUL GAYOOM IS THE BIGGEST ROADBLOCK TO DEMOCRACY....

the answer lies herein...

1. The whole foundation of the MDP was laid to bring democracy to the Maldives. Our Beloved Leader and President for Life, Maumoon Abdul Gayoom is the biggest hindrance to reach this goal of establishing a democratic Maldives. People joined MDP not to bring Kenereege Mohamed Nasheed (Anni) to power. They joined because they wanted democracy established in the Maldives. Therefore Anni and the MDP owe it to its members to choose the best path to get rid of our Leader for Life. At this moment in time by joining the Qasim coalition appears to be the quickest path to get rid of Our Beloved Leader and President for Life.

2. Anni was given the mandate to run for Presidency because someone had to challenge our Beloved Leader and President for Life. People did not back Anni because they wanted him to be the President of the Maldives per se. They backed him because he was seen the most likely challenger to oust Gayoom at the time. People hoped that by backing Anni they could go for a single candidate from the National Unity Alliance (Itthihad)

3. Anni was willing to be Dr. Hassan Saeed's running mate. He said so himself. The reason he was willing to be someone's running mate appears to be because Anni himself beleived that at the time Dr. Hassan Saeed/Anni ticket would be the most sellable to the public. If there is a better option (ie Qasim/Anni ticket) then he owes it to the people of Maldives who he has been promising to bring democracy to, to follow the best option to achieve this task.

The MDP must not lose focus of their principal objective. That is to get rid of our Dear Leader for Life Maumoon. Without getting rid of him there cannot be a democratic Maldives. So even if it is backing Qasim or backing me, the Devil, the MDP owes it to the people to walk the best path to getting rid of our Leader for Life and God, Maumoon Abdul Gayoom.

If they fail to follow this and Gayoom wins the next election and democracy is waylaid for another five years, then it would be betraying the thousands of people who joined them.

Like my Kaafa said, "I did not join the MDP to bring any particular person to power. I joined the MDP in the hope of getting rid of golhaabo and hoping the Maldives would be free from this "fureytha" (His words, not mine! hehehe)

In defence of our beloved President Maumoon Abdul Gayoom

"Three cabinet ministers have rallied to the prime minister's defence, insisting he is the right man for the job.
Alistair Darling, Harriet Harman and John Denham have declared their support for the beleaguered Gordon Brown.
Skills secretary Mr Denham told BBC One Mr Brown had a "profound understanding of what this country needs"." so reports the BBC.

When cabinet ministers in the UK can rally to Brown's defence, how come in our country only people like Reeko Ibrahim Manik (the Jinni Summoner), Mavota Sareef and Kuvaa Sahhaafu Shafiu rally to the defence of our beloved President for Life, Golhaabo? Where are all the cabinet Ministers to go and defend their God and outline the various fake promises for the next five years? Where? Where Where? OK Azima the correspondence course LLB Half-Attorney General does it some times I know..and so does Kutti Nasheed the Minister of Misinformation but one cannot seriously count them in as stalwarts of the cabinets.

I know a few MInisters have resigned from the cabinet. But at the last count we have 19 cabinet Ministers. Among these the most senior are (I know I know..there are still a senile group of SENIOR MINISTERS-leave them for a while)

1 Ismail Shafeeu, Minister of Defence and National Security

2 Mr. Ahmed Abdullah Minister of Environment, Energy and Water

3. Mr. Ilyas Ibrahim Minister of Health

4. Mr. Hamdun Hameed, Minister of Planning and National Development

Now why cant they, why wont they go and defend our beloved President for Life and God, Golhaa the Boa? Instead of him having to resort to dirty tactics like the now infamous List of Liars (I know Dirty is his middle name - leave that aside) they can go and glorify our God and make empty promises for the next five years? Why are they relying on imbeciles like Reeko Ibrahim Maniku and Mavota Stupid Sareef? Even Thasmeen the so-called Running Mate-to-be is not willing to go and praise the Lord? Even when our Beloved Leader for LIfe gave the interview to the journos it was the three "Hussari Bai" ladies of the cabinet who were with him.

My Kaafa tells me that it is because even they realize that the President is doomed. No one is willing to stand up and defend him in public because he is indefensible. I hope my Kaafa is wrong because what will we do without our God? Aaaaaaaaaaaah!

When I was a kid in school, we had a duty rota for the class to oversee that the other kids kept the class tidy before they left it. I suggest that our beloved President for Life keeps a duty rota and get these Ministers to move their arses to go and defend him starting from Ismail Shafeeu. IF he refuses, sack him and make Reeko Ibrahim Maniku, the Jinni Summoner, the Defence Minister. Some Jinni's in the MNDF is not a bad idea, What d'ya say?


Reeko Ibrahim Maniku, the Jinni Summoner

LIST OF CABINET MINISTERS.

Curried politics - The chicken or the egg debate of Maldivian Presidential Elections

It’s been a while but I have to put in my two cents-bit into the Qasim for President debate especially the argument that he is the best person to get rid of golhabo. Having read the DO editorial on Qasim Iburahim and the heated comments it had raised, I have come to the conclusion that all this boils down to the chicken or the egg situation. That is to say, Do we get rid of golhabo first or do we find a decent leader to run this country? Which one should come first?

The debate on whether the chicken or the egg came first has baffled philosophers, scientists, theologians and barmy students like moi for centuries. Compared to this, the question of whether golhabo should be got rid of first and then finding a decent leader would follow later or whether we should find a decent leader first and in the process golhabo would be got rid of, has baffled the Maldives from the various holhu ashi of the islands to the tea-shops of Male’. After an achingly extensive brain-storming session with my barmy mates, I have come to the conclusion that it all ultimately boils down to whether the chicken came first or the egg.

Assuming that ‘getting rid of golhabo’ is the Chicken and ‘finding a decent leader’ is the Egg, for the simple reason that golhabo looks more like a kukulhu than Anni, Ibra, Qasim or any of the other candidates, let’s have a look at what is already said on the topic. (For those of you with differing opinions on who look more like a kukulhu, please leave a comment to that effect).

1.According to some the egg came first, because other animals had been laying eggs long before chickens existed, such as the dinosaurs- therefore, we need to find a decent leader first before we think of getting rid of golhabo.

2. According to others the chicken came first because had the egg come first, there would have been no chicken to sit on it and keep it warm – therefore we need to get rid of golhabo first before we can think of a decent leader.


As this does not resolve the issue, we need to resort to a different way of solving this.

What are the criteria needed to be a decent leader and who ticks most of the boxes? Qasim, Anni, Ibra, Hassan, Umar Naseer?

Or what are the criteria needed to get rid of golhabo and who ticks most of the boxes?

If we can come up with the same name in both questions then we have resolved the issue of the chicken and the egg. They are one and the same.

If we do not come up with the same name in both questions we are back to square one (or back to the kukulhu koshi so as to speak).

In such an instance I would suggest resorting to a simpler personal solution. Which do you like most? Chicken curry or egg-curry? If it’s the chicken-curry then vote for Qasim. If its egg-curry vote for Anni or Hassan or Ibra or Umar Naseer or whoever is brave enough (or stupid enough) to run against Golhabo.

Either way let’s go and vote and get rid of this bastard golhabo.

Curried golhabo for dinner tonight?

Golhabo prevents Hassan Saeed from running for President

I heard that our beloved God and leader for Life, Golhabo is going to propose an excellent amendment to our constitution that would in effect put an end to Dr. Hassan Saeed’s Presidential bid. He is going to ensure that no one with a foreign wife can become the President of the Maldives. The excuse that his cronies give is that someone with a Jewish or Christian wife might become the President of Maldives. But I am flabbergasted as to why they did not propose exactly that? I mean surely if that is the case, why not just say so instead of using the word “Foreign”?

No, this is nothing but the most outrageous, vile and despicable act to block Dr. Hassan Saeed from ever running for office. Our beloved gutless leader for life was too chicken to even face Hassan Saeed at an election, even though Golhabo has all the state’s vote rigging machinery at his disposal. Not only that, they are also putting an age bar on it so that anyone below forty would not be able to run for office too - incase Dr. Hassan S might decide to divorce his wife.

All this reminds me of an Aesop’s Fable I used to read as a child.

The Wolf and the Lamb

WOLF, meeting with a Lamb astray from the fold, resolved not to lay violent hands on him, but to find some plea to justify to the Lamb the Wolf's right to eat him. He thus addressed him: "Sirrah, last year you grossly insulted me." "Indeed," bleated the Lamb in a mournful tone of voice, "I was not then born." Then said the Wolf, "You feed in my pasture." "No, good sir," replied the Lamb, "I have not yet tasted grass." Again said the Wolf, "You drink of my well." "No," exclaimed the Lamb, "I never yet drank water, for as yet my mother's milk is both food and drink to me." Upon which the Wolf seized him and ate him up, saying, "Well! I won't remain supperless, even though you refute every one of my imputations."

The tyrant will always find a pretext for his tyranny.

Our beloved God and Leader for Life, His Foreverness Maumoon Abdul Gayoom

Himendhoo, Al-qaeda and all that jazz

So the Himendhoo extremists are connected to the Al Qaeda, according to a story on the Minivan News website. Now the whole government goes into panic mode and take it out on all the people who have either got beards or women wearing the burugaa. Shave them, de-veil them..get them to party and drink champagne. And then we can claim that we are a 100% Muslim country and blame the democracy movement of trying to spread Christianity in the MAldives. Perfect. What do you say?

Oh and one more thing. Since we do not want to antagonize the Arabs who are obviously funding the spread of extremism, we can always blame this latest video release on David Hardingham and the Friends of Maldives. Afterall, our beloved President for Life did not have any hesitation in blaming him for the Sultan Park bomb. So surely he must be the one who is behind all this. I think he even visited Himendhoo wearing a "bodu burugaa" and secretly filmed the video.  Sounds plausible aye?

Attitudes and beliefs are the hardest things to shake in a human being and there is no way any government or leader can change the beliefs of people by creating ludicrous stories or taking draconian measures such as telling a population on how they should or should not dress. But then trust our President for Life to get it wrong...instead of trying to gently encourage and teach the people the path to moderate Islam, he goes and blames the bomb on a British rights activist and shave the beards off the men of Himendhoo.

definitely a case of.....aegrescit medendo!

Buddha in the Maldives

If you are rich enough, you can flaunt any laws of the Maldives. Proven without a shadow of doubt by the enormous Buddha that Philip Green had requested for his birthday party.

But if you are a poor Hindu, you are not allowed to bring even a minute statue of Ram, Shiva or any other Hindu god for your own religious practice. No way. It will be confiscated and thrown into the sea.

And woe behold, if you are a Christian who dare to have a cross or a crucifix in your suitcase. Not only will it be confiscated by the customs but you will immediately be deported for being a Christian Missionary trying to convert us poor Maldivians. And if you had the misfortune of mentioning any of your local friends' names then they too will be thrown into Dhoonidhoo prison for being converts.

So there you have it. Golhaabo and his corrupt regime have shown to us Maldivians that if you are rich enough, he is quite happy to accommodate your every wish and desire, break any laws for you, as long as you throw him a few coins on your way out.

I have a Jewish classmate who is a fairly rich kid. Hmm, how much does he have to offer Golhaabo if he wants to bring his yarmulke with him?

today's protest and the freedom of choice

Whew!

So I breathe a sigh of relief that today’s protest against police brutality passed off without incident. All right, the turn out was small but the fact that not a single arrest was made is worth celebrating about. For those couple of hours, people in the Maldives who were there at the protest were able to express their views freely and most importantly hear what they wanted to listen to.

Freedom of expression is the keystone of every democracy. In the first session of the UNGA resolution 59(I) was adopted which states "Freedom of information is a fundamental human right and ... the touchstone of all the freedoms to which the United Nations is consecrated."

We cannot make informed decisions if there is no freedom of expression. We would be living in the Dark Ages like we were before in the Maldives. We would be whispering in hushed tones and give scared glances around in case someone was listening and someone reported us; took us to into custody and tortured us. That is sadly what happens most of the time. But not today. Not for those few hours.

Why is the government so scared of giving us something that is guaranteed by the virtue of us being born humans? Answer? simple!

I believe Golhabo is frightened because it gives us Maldivians dignity. It makes us human. And he cannot afford that. If he allows all those in the opposition to be “human” then he cannot get his Golhaa Force to beat them up and torture them. So he has to dehumanize the opposition. So that his Golhaa Force will not hesitate to act on his behalf. They will not stop and think “wait! These guys are human beings like us”.

So he cannot afford to give them the freedom to think. Because freedom means choice.

And they just might choose someone else.

They just might.

Just might.

Might.

Golhaabo and Addu

So I hear that our beloved President Maumoon Abdul Gayoom (God Calls Me God) is going to grace the Adduans with his presence. What an honour after such a long time. I believe that the people of Addu, being starved of his serene and graceful Botox injected face, have been waiting for this day, counting the milliseconds for his arrival.

And what's this nonsense I hear about MDP supporters planning to protest against his arrival and call for his downfall? How ludicrous can that be. After all what he has done for Addu and its people, what are these ungrateful bastards up to. I mean didnt he as recently as a couple of months back release all those Addu terrorists from Dhoonidhoo without even charging most of them...those crooks who came on the Namoona Dhoni to overthrow him, led by that half-Fua Mulaku mudivah Amin Faisal. DIdn't he get them out of that hell-hole of Dhoonidhoo out of the goodness of his heart and his compassion for their families and children in Addu? So instead of Thanking him and bowing before his Holiness and kissing his scabies-infested arse these scum-of-the-earth are planning to shout for his resignation?

I suggest that the MDP leadership call their activists to halt all anti-golhaa activity and instead prepare to welcome him. A plate of bondibaiy would be perfect for our beloved President.

And maybe, just maybe next time an Addu person gets arrested, Golhaa might order his Golhaa Force to torture him one second less than they intend to. Don't hold your breathe though.
