Christopher Gill's Column

Christopher GillEvil Prevails When Good Men Do Nothing

THOSE are the fine words of a young Seychellois named "Jean" who blogged this phrase on a Seychellois community site on the Internet in response to the dire unfortunate situation Seychelles sees herself faced with today. Beyond the failure we live, is the psychology of how we see things. We must analyze our thinking as a People and make necessary changes in order to survive and thrive beyond SPPF imposed failures. Since we are human, created in the likeness and image of God, as opposed to animals, change in the way we think is a real, very real possibility. In this hour of utter despair, there is still hope.

 The Fear Factor

First and foremost, we as a People have become fearful of not fearing. We are fearful of our future even over the very next day, tomorrow, what will it bring for us?? Fear not, for it has already happened. The events of tomorrow have already been dye-casted in SPPF economic failure, violence and intimidation. To fear is only to waste more energy on failure, for the benefit of the architect failure himself. From where we stand today, we must all ask what kind of a Country we will leave our children and their generation to come. They will inherit what we leave them. That time is not far off. As the World starts to be led by 25 year old and 30 year old in the computer age, it is sooner than we think. Barack Obama is a lead Presidential Candidate in the USA right now and not only is he just from humble Kenyan beginnings, but he is just 45 years old. We must rise above our fears and do what is best for our children.

Rene and all his cronies which are now all pushing 70 something years, have no clue where to go from the disaster they have unleashed on us today. They are all just taking us in circles as Mad Cow disease and every other madness takes them. As I have said before, this is not a dream. It is our reality. Seychellois must all wake up.  

 The "Zwe Rol" Factor

Many SPPF tell me "you know Gill, you should just stay quiet, where you have arrived today, I would just do that, don't worry your head about politics." Well, many of us who have chosen to remain silent as SPPF criminalizes and ruin our Country, have chosen this SPPF-advocated path of silence. SPPF want us to remain silent and let them ruin Seychelles. Some of us choose to remain silent in order to go on living under SPPF in the hope that we can somehow escape the grips of their failures that surround us. It's a little like a drowning man.... he will clutch even to a straw that can help him float when faced with death. It will not help!

Some Seychellois are optimistic that if we remain silent long enough and "Zwe Rol", they will become successful under an SPPF- Seychelles. Many business personalities take this line. Many of those that do take this personal strategy are well vested and some even qualify as millionaires beyond any ordinary Seychellois' imagination. They are wealthy beyond an average person’s comprehension. But they live in fear like any ordinary Seychellois does. While SPPF paints them as extraordinary in terms of wealth they are just ordinary  like everyone else and live in fear daily. They work hard, earn a living and try to survive and perhaps prosper even if SPPF lurks in the background. Most hold only one (1) year licenses to run their businesses. SPPF can turn their investments upside down in no time.

SPPF have an "AAA" record for destroying business in Seychelles.  I believe, those that take this path of silence, can do so. But they must also contribute to the cause of bringing serious change in a real manner and not just pass the buck and burden to someone else without doing their duty as a true Seychellois to end this scourge, brought upon us by SPPF, that will leave us bankrupt as a Nation- State and a People without Country, relegated to Third Class Citizens in our own Country, if we stay. Read on “Zwer Rol”, this one is for you; we know you and see you sucking our blood everyday for your self- enrichment! It’s never too late to stop and "Just Say No!" When you do, we will be there for you and help you through difficult times.

It’s never too late to help the voices of Freedom- to help you stave off the fear SPPF has imposed upon you and your family.

 Action: ‘Take One’

The time for action is now. For tomorrow, today, will be gone and we will reflect only on what we could have done or could have said. A balance sheet of regrets in the face of obvious SPPF failures is a poor Report to hand to our children, the next generation. Along side this stark reality will be People that come along and attempt to confuse the Public and ridicule those that wave the banner of freedom in their face. You can only pray for them and their families. 

Rene will do his share to castigate those that make the call for Freedom for all Seychellois. He will send rumors out, say so and so is bringing in 25 Mercedes taxis to compete with taxi drivers; or so and so is bringing in 20 ton trucks to go in the trucking business; or so and so likes men or young girls, although he has children and a wife, and loves his family; the list is endless of how they will attack you. His goons will even plant drugs on those that dare voice a call for Freedom. But this is all the work of Evil, intended to break your nerve and force the wave of change to turn back, alter a course for the personal well-being of those that practice the trade of Evil in the management of Seychelles’ affairs. They may even come to Church and look the Cross eye to eye. But they will not pray.

They will not display compassion for their fellow Country men. Instead, their acts will only demonstrate how far they will go to preserve their power and luxuries which today, they cannot live without.

People of Seychelles, we must pray for the hypocrite, for he is weaker than a newborn baby.

The New SPPF Class Structure In Seychelles

Whenever SPPF or SPUP are faced with failure, they turn to social-engineering to absolve them of having to face reality. They come up with ridiculous programs to occupy our minds and fuel division in our social ranks.

SPPF is creating a new class structure for Seychelles again for the second time. This time the workers are being sent to the museum and do not fit in as they did under the SPUP model which Rene used to come to power. Rene and SPPF have used the poor for three (3) generations. Now they are done with the poor. When Rene says in his opinion, his greatest achievement in Seychelles is that he has made Seychellois Proud and given them their Dignity, beware! 34 years later, Michel has now started the engine of a new Class Structure Engineering for Seychelles Society. So here we go again People of Seychelles. Michel is throwing out Rene's Class Structure and replacing it with his own weird twisted version.

Here is an opportunity for the Reader to see which class he/she will belong to and which class his/her neighbor belongs to under Michel new Class Structure. You SPPF and “Zwer Rol” are all in for a big surprise. Just when you thought you had achieved a little Dignity under Rene, now Michel is going to clean that off your forehead. Read on.

Just as the price of fuel is the most basic component in costing goods, the economics is the most basic component in determining Class Structure. Only political will to protect a Class can alter economic class structure. SPPF today is abandoning the poor. They are abandoning Seychellois. They are saving themselves to maintain their luxury lifestyle at our expense.

Under the SPPF scheme of "Strategy 2017" and "2000 and Beyond", The Princes and Princesses of the few political elites, Arabs and Russians, will assume the position of First Class Citizens. Indian Ex- Pats and Communist Chinese will be Second Class Citizens. The Third Class Citizens position will be reserved exclusively for all you Seychellois like me, who are sons and daughters of the land; you can be SPPF, SNP, DP, it will not matter under the new proposed, not-yet-announced structure.

The new Citizen Classification System SPPF is creating is not based on color or race or creed. It is based on who brings in the most money to them directly; nothing more, nothing less. We are talking of course, of huge sums of money. The money can be clean, covert or laundered; it does not matter. With money tendered will come the privileges of the First Class. The examples are staring us in the face. We do not have to mention them to know them.

SPPF will prostitute our nationhood, but it will not improve our situation. It will only get worse. The exercise will be like having a MAFIA organization running your town. Why? Because of the basic laws of science. Can anybody from State House answer this question? I don't think so. Let me help. To every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. To be more technical: E= mc square.

In exchange for money (hard currency not Rupees) foreigners will access VIP status just like that. They will even become Seychellois and profess to love Seychelles, but while they love our beaches and turquoise seas, they will have very little love for us ordinary Seychellois who are sons and daughters of these islands. Their energy and efforts made to preserve an oppressive government in power which has no clue on how to get us out of the mess they got us into, in the first place. They will travel the world, saying they know Seychelles, but will only be able to name Michel, Rene, Savy and Butler.

Third Class Citizens Power

While the First Class Citizens will have the power of the pockets and money, Second Class Citizens will have the technical power and power of Communist China, to rule Seychelles in their interests. Third Class Citizens, Seychellois of the land, will have only political power at the ballot box. Divided it will be useless. United, it will overthrow the new SPPF-Class Structure.

This power will not last forever, my dear Seychellois of the land. As SPPF sees itself losing political power with the population it will make everyone a Seychellois it can, to maintain power. In the Fiji Islands (Pacific Ocean), this scenario has already played itself out for 2 generations and real native Fijians are now politically inept and must accept being ruled by non- Fijians, although they call themselves Fijians. To avert this possible social disaster, the power of Third Class Citizens in Seychelles will have to be brought into a cohesive power base to beat SPPF convincingly in the next Elections. SPPF, SNP, DP will all have to come together and put historical differences aside, and work in unison to save our Seychelles (SOS) from SPPF Elitist, who serve the People through politics, to only serve themselves a better life without deserving or earning it.

From where we stand today, this is a tall order, but it is your only hope. We are a small state so we can do it. Our smallness makes many things possible. Failing that, we are all condemned to being gardeners, waiters and waitresses in our own land, while foreigners lord over us, and SPPF beat us over the head when we get out of line and express ourselves as God so intended that we do. There is now ample precedence to justify this assertion of things to come. I do not have to go in details. Suffice to say, there are enough examples around as there are Sea Cucumbers in our ocean....Bourgeois of course, even when they are not making love, they are out there, right SFA? What a moron! Maybe SPPF can make him PS of the Chiller at the Hospital!

When It Rains Throw Red Umbrella in the Bins

When it rains many, many SPPF are throwing the red umbrellas in the bins. We must all salute and congratulate these people of courage who have decided that enough is enough. Congratulations smart - former SPPF. We salute you. As your former Party falls into a state of chaos with no one knowing who leads the show in a moment of despair for Seychelles, SPPF are falling into a state of depression. Depression brings with it no answers for our crisis. Move away and move on former SPPF. We will be there to help you. Our ideas have been successful throughout the successful world, and we will put Seychellois First, not last.

Star should take some initiative and place red umbrella bins next to the bio-degradable bins. We can melt them down and create cooking fuel with them, much like in India, remote Africa, Communist China, where they use pig dung-waste for cooking gas. In the meantime, be patient everyone, Blue Freedom Umbrellas are on the way. In the future, when it rains, we can be "Proud" and still keep our Dignity as God so intended, contrary to how Rene thought. There is a God, man... there is a God.. he is greater than you and greater than me!

When good men and women do just a little thing, Evil fails!

May God Bless All Freedom Loving Seychellois!
