Air Seychelles Business Plan

Another SR 40 Million bailout package for Air Seychelles needed for David Savy's playpen....& Christmas Gifts too.

The plan is to bankrupt the airline, then break it up so David, Francis and Glenny, Adam, Mukesh, Corvina (with Albert as the key Mob Leader) can own the domestic airline that will have a monopoly on flights to the inner and outer islands. Add the Zil Air helicopter service, add the stolen islands such as Farquar and Felicite, add the villas sold to Mauritians and South Africans while they get their cut on each sale, and one can see where this is all going.

Then after another study by some James Michel task force that will cost the people of Seychelles a few more millions that we don't have, Michel will sell Air Seychelles to his Arab friends from Abu Dhabi.... and bye bye Air Seychelles, hello Arab Island Air. Or maybe Air Mauritius can bail us out and Glenny and David will get some shares. Or how about the South African group who now owns Desroches and Alphonse and probably more islands that have been sold off by Glenny and Michel?

Well, thank you David Savy for bankrupting our national airline, thank you Michel, thank you Albert Rene, thank you Glenny Savy, thank you little Prince Francis, thank you Geva, thank you Sarah Rene, thank you Ramadoss, thank you Corvina, thank you Guy Adam and thank you all or all your hard work in selling off our heritage and stealing the remainin pieces. Thank you to all you traitors and thieves who have the gall to call yourselves patriotic Seychellois. A pitiful bunch you are. But the people are watching closely. The end is near, so keep acting as if Seychelles still belongs to you lot. My advice is for you to move overseas with your stolen millions while the going is still good. Because when we find you after the deluge, Montagne Possee will not have enough bars to hold us from getting to you. Retirement will be quite tough.

Economic Reality in Seychelles Today

ADDRESS BY:

CHRISTOPHER GILL

TO THE SNP CONVENTION

AS AN INVITED SPEAKER

NOVEMBER 8^TH, 2009

*********************************************************************************************************

INTRODUCTION NOTE:

I COME TO SPEAK TODAY, ON INVITATION OF MR. WAVEL RAMKALAWAN.

I THANK HIM FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO ADDRESS YOU.

THIS IS AN ATTEMPT TO OPEN MORE DIALOGUE IN THE OPPOSITION!

I COME BEFORE YOU, A SEYCHELLOIS, A FATHER, CONCERNED SERIOUSLY FOR THE PROBLEMS OF SEYCHELLES TODAY.

TO FACE THE FUTURE, WE WILL HAVE TO DO IT WITH AN OPEN MIND TO SURMOUNT THE CHALLENGES! WE WILL HAVE TO CALL ON ALL DP SPPF SNP TO BRING CHANGE IN SEYCHELLES!

1. WHAT IS OUR REALITY TODAY

TODAY, SPPF- PP ARE TELLING US WE ARE UNDERGOING AN “ECONOMIC REFORM”.

EVERYWHERE YOU HEAR PHRASE “ECONOMIC REFORM”.

MICHEL HAS TOLD US THE REFORM IS A GREAT SUCCESS.

MICHEL SAYS THE WORSE IS OVER.

BUT MY FRIENDS OF SNP, THE WORSE IS JUST BEGINING- AND IT WILL NOT END, IF WE CONTINUE TO ALLOW MICHEL AND PP. TO DO WHAT THEY WANT WITH SEYCHELLES!

REMEMBER THE STRATEZI 2017? 10% GDP EVERY YEAR. THIS YEAR IT WAS PROJECTED TO BE -10% AND POSSIBLY, IT WILL NOW BE -8 %.

REMEMBER WE WERE TOLD BY MICHEL THAT WE PAID OFF ALL OUR DEBTS AFTER HE CAME BACK FROM VISITING THE POPE?

NOW OUR DEBTS ARE BACK UP $850 MILLION AGAIN, AND WE ARE

NOT REPAYING IT.

OUR SITUATION IS VERY SERIOUS. BUT MICHEL AND PP ARE MAKING US BELIEVE WE ARE ON THE RIGHT TRACK .

WHY DO THEY LIE?

BECAUSE ELECTIONS ARE NEAR.

WHY DO THEY SAY REFORM?

A. IN SEPTEMEBR 2008, WHEN SPPF WAS WIPING OUT OUR NATIONAL RESERVES TO PAY FOR FUEL AND OTHER THINGS

AND SEYCHELLES WENT TO HER KNEES!

IN THE LAST HOURS OF SPPF’S CRAZY ECONOMIC POLICIES, WE WERE ABOUT TO RUN OUT OF FUEL,

CENTRAL BANKS RESERVES HAD DROPPED TO LESS THEN 5 MILLION DOLLARS, SEPEC COULD NOT PAY ITS BILLS,

CARS WERE ABOUT TO STOP RUNNING IN SEYCHELLES WHILE OIL PRICE WAS $140.00 PER BARREL,

IMF WAS BROUGHT IN AND A STAND BY ARRANGMENT WAS MADE, AND AN IMF PLAN WAS ADOPTED BY THE END OF OCTOBER 30, 2008.

THE PLAN WAS TO LAST FOR TWO (2) YEARS.

IMF TOLD US LAST WEEK, THAT IN OCTOBER 2008, SEYCHELLES

COLLAPSED!!!!!!! MICHEL NEVER TOLD US WE COLLAPSED!

AT THAT POINT, IN HIS ADDRESS TO THE NATION OF OCTOBER 31, 2008, PRESIDENT MICHEL, JUMPED ON HIS “BIG HORSE” CALLED “ECONOMIC REFORM”.

B. WHAT MICHEL WAS REALLY SAYING TO US, WAS THAT SEYCHELLES WAS “BANKRUPT” AND HE WAS NOW CALLING IN THE IMF TO PLACE OUR COUNTRY UNDER ADMINISTRATION OF THE IMF.

C. SPPF SAID IT WAS THEIR “HOME GROWN PROGRAM”.

D. MARIE LISE POTTER LEADER OF GOVERNMENT BUSINESS SAID IN THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY,” NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, WILL WE SAY THE WORD “BANKRUPT”.

SHE SAID:” WE ARE GOING THROUGH DIFFICULTY AND WE WILL REFORM. WE WILL “KOSTE”, AND PULL THROUGH”. SPPF IS NOT SCARED OF DIFFICULTY.

DEAR FRIENDS, SEYCHELLES IS “BANKRUPT”.

SPPF- PP CALL THIS “ECONOMIC REFORM”. WE MUST OPEN THE EYES OF ALL SEYCHELLOIS AND SHOW THEM SPPF-PP “BANKRUPT” SEYCHELLES.

WHEN A COUNTRY HAS 3 MILLION DOLLARS IN RESERVES AND NEEDS US$ 11 MILLION PER DAY, WE ARE BANKRUPT.

IN 2008 WE WERE BANKRUPT.

TODAY IN 2009, WE ARE BANKRUPT UNDER PP AND JAMES MICHEL.

THEY HAVE MADE HISTORY.

IN 5, OR 10 OR 15 YEARS UNDER PP MICHEL, FAURE OR HENSLEY

CONSTANCE, OR DR. PAYET, WE WILL STILL BE BANKRUPT.

IN 2009, WE ARE STILL BANKRUPT WITH $100 MILLION RESERVES, BECAUSE OUR DEBT EXCEEDS $850 MILLION.

WITH -8% GDP WE WILL NEVER REPAY THIS DEBT UNDER SPPF- P.P.

MICHEL FOOLS US TO BUY MORE TIME.

IN THAT TIME SEYCHELLOIS SUFFER! WE WILL SUFFER!

ALL THE SOCIAL ILLS TODAY LIKE DRUGS, ALCOHOL, CORRUPTION, ABUSE OF POWER, ARE THE SIGNS OF A SUFFERING PEOPLE BECAUSE OF SPPF-P.P. FAILURE

RESERVES $ 100 MILLION TODAY ARE ONLY 2 MONTHS EXPENSES.

TODAY, WE ARE NOT PAYING OUR DEBTS. IMF KEEPS THE COUNTRY GOING, AND THE INTEREST ON THE DEBTS KEEP GOING UP.

LAST WEEK ANOTHER IMF AGREEMENT FOR A $ 34 MILLION LOAN WAS SIGNED FOR ANOTHER 3 YEARS, AFTER THE 2 YEAR AGREEMENT. THAT MAKES IT 5 YEARS.

THIS GAME SPPF PP PLAY WILL BE CARRIED OUT FOR OVER 25 YEARS. EVERY 3 YEARS, WE WILL GET ANOTHER IMF AGREEMENT AND SEYCHELLOIS WILL BE CALLED UPON TO SUFFER AND MAKE SACRIFICE WHILE OUR PRESIDENT WATCHES THE GRAND PRIX RACE IN ABU DHABI AND TRAVELS TO ASIA FOR THREE (3) WEEKS.!

TODAY WE NEED SERIOUS LEADERSHIP TO FACE THE SERIOUS CHALLENGE BEFORE US. WE NEED LEADERSHIP THAT IS INTELLIGENT, AS WELL NOT DREAMERS OF THE PERFECT SOCIETY, BUT REAL WORKERS OF THE PERFECT SOCIETY.

IT IS NOT ENOUGH FOR LEADERS TO WORK HARD.

THEY ALSO HAVE TO WORK SMART TO SAVE SEYCHELLES.

SPPF AND P.P. HAVE WORKED HARD TO BANKRUPT SEYCHELLES MAKE HER “FAID”.

WE NEED TO WORK HARD TO MAKE SEYCHELLES SUCCESSFUL AGAIN. WE MUST DOUBLE OUR EFFORT.

2. OUR DEBT

A. HOW MANY MILLIONS WE LOST TO CORRUPTION, MISMANAGEMENT, ABUSE OF AUTHORITY.

HOW MANY MILLIONS HAVE WE LOST BY BAD IDEAS.

EXAMPLE IN 1994, SEYCHELLES COULD JOIN AFRICA ONE FIBER OPTIC CONNECTION TO THE WORLD FOR $10 MILLION.

TODAY WE WOULD HAVE FAST COMPUTERS AND THIS COULD BE ONE OF OUR MAIN MARKETING TOOLS.

SPPF DID NOT JOIN. NOW SEYCHELLES IS 50 YEARS BEHIND KENYA, AND IT WILL COST $30 MILLION TO GET FIBER OPTIC CONNECTIONS TO THE OUTSIDE WORLD.

B. HOW MUCH HAVE WE LOST TO COETIVY FARMS, SILHOUETTE FARMS, ORCHID FARM, IDC, AIR SEYCHELLES, THE ARMY BUDGET, THE DESALINATION PLANTS, LEHMAN BROTHERS BONDS, OTHER BONDS, OTHER LOANS,

THE LIST IS ENDLESS.

MOST RECENTLY MICHEL WANTS “WIND MILLS” TO CUT ELECTRICITY. WRONG AGAIN. ANOTHER MISTAKE.

THE CHEAPER AND BEST SOLUTION FOR SEYCHELLES IN ENERGY ATRAVER “CURANT LA MER”-“WAVE-ENERGY”.

CHEAPER AND NOT UGLY.

BUT MICHEL JUMPS AT THE FIRST THING HE SEES.

C. OUR DEBT STANDS AT OVER $ 840 MILLION TODAY. DIVIDED HALF AND HALF BETWEEN DEBT COMMCERIAL AND DEBT MULTI LATERAL.

D. PARIS CLUB

THIS IS AFTER THE PARTIAL FORGIVNESS OF 22% OF MULTI-LATERAL DEBT HELD BY PARIS CLUB.

THE REMAINING 23% TO BE PARDONED AFTER 6 YEARS IN TOTAL, IF,

IF THE SPPF-PP STAY UNDER THE IMF PROGRAMME.

SPPF- PP SAY 45% IS ALREADY PARDONED TO FOOL US!

THE PARIS CLUB AND IMF KNOW THAT WE HAVE 25 YEARS OF REFORM AHEAD.

IMF

BUT PAUL MATHEIU DOES NOT TELL US THAT BECAUSE HE DOES NOT WANT TO SCARE US.

HE WANTS US TO SUFFER IN TRANQUILITY.

IMF AND P.P WANTS US TO STAY QUIET.

WHEN SPPF PP HAMMER US ON THE HEAD,

THEY WANT YOU TO SAY THANK YOU.

THEY DO NOT WANT YOU TO SAY,’” WAIT A MINUTE, MY FRIEND, YOU ARE HITTING ME ON MY HEAD AND IT HURTS!”

THIS IS TYPICAL COMMUNISM !

IMF HAS NO CHOICE IN THE MATTER BECAUSE THE GOV. (OZORDI) DE JURE IS COMMUNIST.

E. HOW MUCH WE OWE?

PLIS KI $100,000.00 PER HEAD.

IN USA LARGEST ECONOMY OF THE WORLD, PER CAPITA DEBT IS $30,000.00.

THIS GIVES YOU AN IDEA OF WHAT MICHEL AND RENE DID ALL THESE YEARS: THEY BORROWED IN THE NAME OF SEYCHELLES, FOR US TO REPAY.

THEY WILL NOT REPAY THIS MONEY!

PARIS CLUB, IMF, WORLD BANK KNOW THAT WE WILL BE BANKRUPT FOR MANY, MANY YEARS UNDER SPPF PP IF THEY STAY.

ACCORDING TO IMF COUNTRY REPORT ON SEYCHELLES, MAY 2009, OUR DEBT BURDEN IS UNSUSTAINABLE UNTIL 2027. WITH -8 IN 2009, THIS WILL TAKE US TO 2028.

SPPF-PP IN THE MEDIA AND DISTRICT MEETINGS, ARE LYING (BAT LATETE) TO THE PEOPLE TO ENSURE THEY WIN THE NEXT ELECTION.

THEY SAY THE WORSE IS OVER ( TEMPET EN FINI) , WE WERE COURAGEOUS LAST YEAR.

MICHEL WRITES IN STATE HOUSE NEWLETTER, THE “TEMPET” IS OVER; BUT THE “TEMPET” HAS JUST BEGUN.

CHER SEYCHELLOIS, WE MUST WAKE UP FROM THIS BIG LIE BEFORE WE CAN LOOK TO ECONOMIC POTENTIAL OF SEYCHELLES AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR SEYCHELLOIS.

SEYCHELLES CANNOT HAVE PROSPERITY, PROGRESS, IF WE LIVE A LIE ON THE TRUE STATE OF OUR AFFAIRS.

TODAY, UNDER PP WE ARE BANKRUPT (FAID).

1. LOOK AT THE RESERVES

1. GOVERNOR PIERRE LAPORTE SAYS OUR RESERVES ARE $ 100 MILLION.

A. THIS IS 2 MONTHS OF MONEY TO RUN SEYCHELLES AND WE STILL HAVE NOT PAID ANY DEBTS.

B. IT TOOK MR. LAPORTE 1 ½ YEARS TO RAISE TWO MONTHS RESERVE, WITH AN IMF PLAN IN PLACE.

C. NEXT YEAR, HE MAY HAVE 4 MONTHS RESERVE.

THIS IS NOT MAKING HISTORY

THIS IS FIXING- SPICING HISTORY

D. TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA, IN 1976, MANCHAM COALITION GOVERNMENT HAD RAISED POUND STERLING 375 MILLION, ENOUGH THEN TO RUN SEYCHELLES FOR THREE (3) YEARS THEN, PERHAPS 10 YEARS TODAY IN REAL VALUE

TODAY THIS MONEY WOULD BE LIKE HAVING POUND STERLING 800 MILLION

ENOUGH TO RUN SEYCHELLES FOR 10 YEARS.

TODAY, WE ARE NOT PAYING THE DEBT. INTEREST IS RISING!

2. WHO WILL PAY THIS DEBT?

A. MR. RENE WILL NOT PAY THIS DEBT. SINCE 1976, HE HAS LIVED OFF THE GOVERNMENT OF SEYCHELLES. HE HAS COLLECTED MONEY, AND HAS PAID NOTHING IN SEYCHELLES NAME.

B. HIS FAMILY LIVES OFF SEYCHELLES THROUGH PARASTATALS, LITTLE CONTRACTS FOR ISLAND FOR RUPEE ONE (1), ALL IS IN THE FAMILY;

ONE SON RUNS AIR SEYCHELLES,

ANOTHER CONTROLS ALL THE OUTER ISLANDS AND TRANSHIPS FUEL IT BUYS FROM SEPEC TAX FREE TO ESTABLISHMENTS, YET IDC DOES NOT HAVE A TANKER.

ANOTHER SON DID NOT EVEN GRADUATE FROM NYS WITH LITTLE ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT, BUT HAS MANAGED TO SET UP A HELICOPTER BUSINESS AND MAKES DEALS WITH THE RICHEST ARABS IN THE WORLD, WITH ONE RUPEE ISLAND PURCHASE, AND OTHER SOFT TRANSACTIONS.

SO DO NOT EXPECT THEM TO PAY OUR DEBTS.....THEY LIVE OFF US.

C. THOSE THAT STOLE MILLIONS AT SMB AND CENTRAL BANK, WILL NOT RETURN THAT MONEY IF GOVERNMENT DOES NOT ASK THEM TO.

D. IF SPPF-PP STAY, THEY WILL NOT PAY.

THE PEOPLE OF SEYCHELLES WILL PAY.......ALL OF US WILL PAY, FOR THE NEXT 25-30 YEARS.

THIS MEANS OUR CHILDREN WILL PAY THE DEBT!!!!!!

THIS IS THE REAL SACRIFICE MICHEL DOES NOT TALK ABOUT IN THE DISTRICT MEETING OR ON SBC!

PRESIDENT MICHEL DOES NOT TALK ABOUT THIS LITTLE DETAIL IN THE DISTRICTS.

3. HOW TO PARDON ALL THE DEBT

A. The other side of this bad situation, is that we can have the entire debt of $840 Million pardoned.

THIS DEBT IS LIKE AN 8” CONCRETE BLOCK AROUND OUR NECKS, DROWNING US WHEN WE TRY TO SWIM.

B. We can have the entire debt removed from our necks, BE FREE AGAIN, AND MOVE ON AS A PEOPLE.

NOW I SPEAK TO ALL SEYCHELLOIS, SNP, DP, SPPF, SPUP, ALL OF YOU EXCEPT FOR THE 15 THAT LIVE OFF US.

C. How- CLUB DE PARIS KNEW-

The Paris Club knew Seychelles could not repay its obligations when it gave out the loans. A new Government that did not create the debt, can approach Paris Club and ask the debt be pardoned, because it gave the money to an already non-performing government that is not responsible.

LIBERIA HAS HAD ITS DEBT PARDONED UNDER THIS REQUEST.

(SERS EN PROGRAM POU PARDON TOU DEBT)

THEY REMOVE CHARLES TAYLOR, WENT FOR DEBT FORGIVNESS, NO MATTER WHAT CHARLES TAYLOR SAID, THEY IGNORED HIM.

D. The Commercial Debt

1.This debt mostly, the Bonds, were issued by an American Company Lehman Brothers. This company had what in law we call an obligation of “Due Diligence”; To inform buyers that Seychelles could not repay the bonds if it had knowledge of that at the time it issued the Bonds, which it did not conduct.

2. Lehmans had a duty of full disclosure to purchasers, and should have questioned and verified Government of Seychelles on ability to repay the bonds.

3. Because there is a lot of fraud in these transactions, a new government can bring out the fraud, establish it in court of law, and render the obligation null and void. Free Seychelles of the obligations.

4. I HAVE ALREADY TAKEN STEPS OF NOTICE REQUIREMENTS UNDER US LAW TO LEHMAN BROTHERS AT THE TIME THE TWO BONDS WERE ISSUED.

NOTICE TO FOLLOW US LAW BY LEHMANS WAS SENT AT THE TIME EACH BOND WAS ISSUED.

LETTERS WERE REGISTERED.

IF WE DO NOT FIGHT, WE WILL NOT KNOW IF WE CAN WIN!

I DO NOT SEE WHY WE CANNOT WIN! BUT WE MUST FIGHT,

BECAUSE THE 15 PEOPLE OF PP RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS “”FAID “”

WILL TRY TO DISCOURAGE YOU. THIS IS NORMAL FOR COMMUNISTS.

The money, $ 400 MILLION plus interest at 10% per annum, where will we get it if we have to repay the Bonds?

4. DO NOT FORGET THE $2.4 BILLION THAT IS MISSING IN THE BANKING SYSTEM ACCORDING TO IMF

Audit the $2.4 Billion MISSING WHEN Government changes.

With a new Government, we can audit the $2.4 Billion as Paul Mathieu

of the IMF has suggested the people of Seychelles should if they so desire.

This money was mostly in offshore deposits that originated in Seychelles, BY SEYCHELLES CITIZENS.

In that Audit, you will find enough money to run Seychelles for 15 years.

Then, we will have no option but to go find that money or a portion that is missing.

THIS MONEY IS THE KEY TO OUR FUTURE.

This EFFORT WILL BE A KEY TO OUR economic future, this is our wealth, which we must secure, after the BANKRUPTCY under SPPF and IMF Administration under PP.

WITH THAT MONEY,

~WE WILL HAVE THE BEST HEALTH CARE POSSIBLE,

~WE WILL HAVE THE BEST EDUCATION POSSIBLE,

~WE CAN HAVE THE BEST TRAINS WITH AIR CONDITION FOR OUR TRANSPORT SYSTEM,

~WE CAN HAVE CABLE CARS TO LA MISERE,

~ALL SEYCHELLOIS CAN TRAVEL 3 TIMES A YEAR BECAUSE THEY WILL HAVE HIGH SALARIES;

~SEYCHELLOIS WILL ALL BE RICH LIKE WE WERE SUPPOSE TO BE WITH THE MOST FANTASTIC ISLANDS ON EARTH;

~OUR JUDICIARY WILL BE INTACT; WE WILL BE ABLE TO BUILD OUR OWN JUDICIARY

AND

~REAL PARLIAMENT OF DEMOCRACY WITHOUT COMMUNIST CHINA DONATIONS THAT PLACE US IN AN EMBARRASSING SITUATION;

~INSTEAD OF RENTING OLD PLANES, AIR SEYCHELLES WILL BE ABLE TO BUY NEW PLANES.

WE WILL NOT HAVE TO JUST DREAM OF A NEW PLANE; WE WILL HAVE THEM!

~AIR SEYCHELLES WILL STOP FINDING EXCUSES FOR OLD PLANES.

~~THERE IS NO LIMIT TO WHAT WE CAN DO, IF WE AS A PEOPLE, DECIDE, WE WANT TO DO IT RIGHT!

5. ANALYSIS OF OUR REALITY WITH MICHEL

DO NOT BE FOOLED BY MICHEL AND PP.~( PA LES MISEL ENBET ZOT)

MICHEL IS AN BIG - ACTOR,

HE HAS NOT MASTERED LAW,

HE HAS NOT MASTERED THE BALLPEN,

HE HAS NOT MASTERED BOOKS AND GOOD IDEAS,

HE HAS MASTERED ONLY THE CAMERA AND THE GUN.

THE CAMERA WITH THE GUN, IS ENOUGH FOR POWER,

BUT NOT ENOUGH FOR LASTING SUCCESS!

6. KOMPRAN IMF------ UNDERSTAND IMF,

THE $2.4 BILLION IS MISSING FROM OUR BANKING SYSTEM IT WAS TAKEN BY SEYCHELLOIS CITIZENS. IMF HAS TOLD US THIS.

IMF HAS ALSO TOLD US, IT IS UP TO THE PEOPLE OF SEYCHELLES TO DECIDE WHAT IT DOES ABOUT THIS MISSING MONEY.

THIS IS A CLEAR MESSAGE FROM IMF:

“IMF IS TELLING US TO CHANGE THE GOVERNMENT ‘’.

BUT IT CANNOT BE DIRECT, IT MUST WORK WITH THE PARTY IN POWER.

BUT IMF TREATS THE PARTY IN POWER ACCORDING TO ITS MERIT.

SOME COUNTRIES LIKE MEXICO FACED WITH COLLAPSE RECEIVED $80 BILLION IN 30 DAYS.

HERE IN SEYCHELLES, IMF GIVES US A LITTLE AT A TIME TO PUNISH US FOR KEEPING P.P. IN POWER.

THE PEOPLE SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCE.

IMF HOPES THAT THIS PAIN WE GO THROUGH WILL HELP US MAKE THE BEST DECISIONS FOR CHANGE.

THIS IS HOW THE IMF, CONTROLLED BY USA WORKS.

I APPEAL TO ALL SEYCHELLOIS,

ESPECIALLY SPPF SPUP, LET US STOP THE PAIN,

LEAVE P.P. IN THE DUSTBINS OF HISTORY

GIVE OUR CHILDREN A CHANCE TO TOMORROW.

7. MICHEL ECONOMIC POLICY

WE CAN NO LONGER HAVE AN ECONOMIC POLICY OF GIVING ISLANDS AND LAND TO ARABS FOR SCR 1 RUPEE,

when we have no money in the hopes of getting money.

THIS IS NOT ECONOMICS AND FINANCE OF A SERIOUS COUNTRY.

I SAY IT AGAIN. THE FIRST JOB WE HAVE IS TO REMOVE PP FROM POWER.

NOT BECAUSE WE THIRST FOR POWER, BUT BECAUSE WE OWE IT TO OUR CHILDREN TO START DOING THINGS RIGHT IN SEYCHELLES.

WE CAN DO THIS,

WE HAVE TO DO THIS!

UNLESS PP IS REMOVED, THINGS WILL ONLY GET WORSE ON THE

ECONOMIC FRONT.

CONCLUSION

LET’S ALL WORK TOGETHER FOR THE SAME OBJECTIVE.

STAY STRONG! STAY DETERMINED. DO NOT LET P.P. WEAKEN YOU.

UNDER COMMUNIST SYSTEM, THEY WEAKEN OPPONENT BEFORE BATTLE, BEFORE ELECTIONS. DO NOT FORGET THIS!

AGAIN, THANK YOU MR. WAVEL RAMKALAWAN FOR THE INVITATION TO SPEAK TO YOUR SNP CONVENTION.

I THANK MY GOOD FRIEND MARC HOUAREAU FOR HIS CRITIC-IDEAS.

I THANK MY MADAM FOR ALL HER DEVOTION,

I THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR TIME AND

I THANK YOU FOR YOUR DEVOTION TO SEYCHELLES IN THIS DIFFICULT TIME.

MAY GOD BLESS ALL FREEDOM LOVING SEYCHELLOIS!

THE SPPF ARE PARANOID INGRATES

If there was any doubt that the SPPF, SPUP, JJ or whatever they are calling themselves today are paranoid ingrates, the short story I am about to tell should remove all doubt.

About 4 years ago my older brother Francis was considering moving part time to his home here in Seychelles. Francis loves Seychelles and wanted to return and contribute to his country’s advancement and development. He purchased and packed a container full of household goods and shipped it to Seychelles. When the goods arrived at the Port, he appeared to claim his container. Present were at least 30 armed personnel from the Army, State House, State Security and various other agencies. I was present as well. We were both told that there was to be a personal search of every item in the container.

Several SPPF goons then went through the container. Even to the extent of unscrewing air conditioners and dismantling water heaters. Every item was so thoroughly searched and dismantled that when they were done, numerous screws and bolts lay on the ground – the SPPF goons can’t do anything right, not even remove screws and put them back where they took them out.

All the furniture and other items in the container, including some very valuable couches, were strewn out on the tarmac while rain pored down on the items. Again the SPPF goons can’t do anything right. You would think they would have a cheap piece of plastic on hand to cover items they have out in the open just in case of this kind of rain shower. While every Seychellois knows there are frequent rain showers in Seychelles, and therefore a piece of plastic is essential when you don’t have a proper warehouse to conduct these searches, nevertheless, the SPPF goon’s could not figure out this basic point and make basic preparations. So all my brother’s hard earned personal items were drenched out on the tarmac and some of which were ruined. Not even an apology was forthcoming from the goon squad. My brother was already considered guilty in their eyes and destroying his property was just punishment for his crimes they thought.

Both my brother and I were at a loss as to what was going on. We just assumed this is one more miserable method of victimization by the SPPF, retaliating against me for bringing their sordid corruption and incompetence to the disinfecting sunshine of daylight before the people of Seychelles.

After this ordeal, both my brother and I thought the matter was finally laid to rest. Well it wasn’t. We went for a lunch burger at the Berjaya and to unwind and relax – only to be surrounded by a cadre of SPPF armed goons. Obviously these goons were sent to frighten and to intimidate us. But we assumed this was further evidence of SPPF’s effort to victimize me for airing my views. So, we ignored the goons and finished our lunch.

I then received a call from the head goon and was told that my brother’s container would have to be searched once more. I protested. The head good informed me that there were arms in the container. I said if there were arms you would have found it since you pulled everything in the container apart with dozens of men.

Despite my protests the container was searched again without my brother’s consent. He had two valuable drums he had acquired in Mindanao and were about 2.5 meters in height. The covers on both drums were shredded to bits – nothing inside. Again we thought this was the end of this matter. It was not. The SPPF, despite two thorough searches of the container, insisted that there must be invisible arms in the container they, with their limited abilities, could not find – but they were there, they insisted. So it was again searched a third time. Still no arms. No doubt the SPPF goons must have concluded, by now, that my brother had invented a cloaking devise similar to the ones the Romulans use on the science fiction movie Star Track to cloak his weapons, making them invisible to the limited vision of the SPPF goons.

Needless to say with this level of harassment my brother decided to postpone his plans to live in his own country.

Recently, my brother’s father Peter Gill passed away. For those who do not remember, Peter Gill was a founding member of the Executive Committee of the SPUP. He financed some of the SPUP’s first activities that allowed them to become an established political movement. Albert Rene, the coup leader, dictator and architect of Tanzanian massacres of Seychellois, was given his first decent suit to wear to represent Seychelles at the OAU by Peter Gill, when he was seeking independence for Seychelles. Peter Gill for years paid for the printing of the People newspaper – the main newspaper for the SPUP and now the SPPF or whatever they’re called.

After all this, the SPPF ran him out of Seychelles and confiscated his businesses. They did this because Peter Gill spoke the truth to the SPUP and told them they were betraying the ideals of the party. He told them that he did not invest his hard earned money and his time in the party to see the leaders turn into corrupt murderous criminals who have used the State for their personal benefit and abused the people. We all know what happens to people who challenge SPPF corruption, incompetence, violence and abuse of power – they are imprisoned, harassed, murdered or run out of their own country.

So, Peter Gill lived and died in exile away from his beloved Seychelles. Vowing to return and live in Seychelles only after the SPPF traitors were no longer in power. However, on his death bed, his dying request was for him to be cremated and to have his ashes scattered in Seychelles.

By now you are wondering what does Peter Gill’s death have to do with invisible arms. Well my brother made the promise to bring Peter Gill’s ashes to Seychelles and plans on doing so this December.

A confidential patriot, the same reliable patriot who notified me of the SPPF scheme to plant drugs in my car, recently informed me that the SPPF still considers my brother a “threat” due to the Romulan cloaked invisible arms, and that it would be best if he did not come to Seychelles – even if it is for the purpose of scattering the ashes of an SPUP founding member. I was told the SPPF intend to inflict harm on my brother. This is another classic example of SPPF “Goonsmanship” that they perfected from their communist instructors.

If the SPPF has evidence that a Seychellois has committed an offense against the State they should bring it before the Courts, where the evidence must be publicly presented and reviewed. But since their evidence is invisible they must resort to tactics of intimidation. This is a fundamental problem we as a people must once and for all resolve. We must remove the SPPF from power and establish true democracy and the rule of law in our country.

Never again should our government intimidate and harass its citizens on the basis of rumours and suppositions. We are citizens entitled to be respected under the law by our government. We as a people must make the SPPF respect our right to be free from intimidation and to be ruled by laws and not their whims, rumors and paranoia. All Seychellois must have the right to pursue their happiness and enjoy their liberty without fear of arbitrary violence from their government. We must make this ideal a reality for our country. We must throw the bums out in the coming election.

May God Bless Seychelles and All Freedom Loving Seychellois! Christopher Gill

The Painful Transition from Communism to Socialism to Capitalism in Seychelles

Now that the world has finally rejected the utopian ideals of Marxism, there are only two relic nations that are clinging on to this ideology purely for the preservation of their ‘dynasty’; Cuba and North Korea. Since the unification of Europe the adoption of capitalism has been the modus operandi of failed communist states. Those with resources like China have been able to adopt a model based on totalitarian principles, while others have scrambled to find a way to adapt or be replaced by new blood.

In the case of Seychelles, there is a bit of both. The old guard wants to cling on to power at all cost under the banner of democracy / unity / solidarity, while they know full well that they are the ones responsible for the financial mess that their utopian experiment has caused this nation. So the never give up at all costs mentality is the pain being inflicted on the Seychellois people.

Desperation

James Michel’s government has a daunting task indeed. Whilst Alibaba and his forty thieves have pillaged our country for three decades leaving a massive hole of $ 2.4 billion, he has called the IMF to the rescue. This rescue package is a painful one. No more largesse, no more welfare state and it is an about turn to capitalism ‘a la Chinese’ minus the resources. Hard core communists masked as capitalists but with empty pockets – begging the whole world to help keep us afloat. While they try to change their mindset and ‘metamorfoz’ into a Parti Lepep, they want the Seychellois to believe that they are the champions of democracy, the best economists of our lifetime and all the crap that they can throw at us with every given second on the state media. The irony is that they have a bunch of Eastern bloc / Cuban educated, politically indoctrinated stalwarts leading this transition! Since the announcement of the IMF bailout plan last year, the likes of Danny Faure and Marie-Louise Potter have been leading the bastion with their sweet talk to entangle the population even further while they desperately fight for their own self preservation. Remember, and not surprising, they are both Cuban trained!

Time to pay the price

The people now have to pay the price. No more free lunches. They have to pay their way in life as this is the capitalist way, the IMF way. Will it be the Lepep Way? In this painful transition, they are cunning enough to bring in legislations that they can manipulate around election time or once they get voted back into power. So for them, the transition is only cosmetic, to soften the blow and prepare for the next ride to a new mandate. The vicious cycle will never end as there is too much at stake for Parti Lepep. Sooner or later they will have to ‘rann kont lepep’! The name change of the SPPF is already an indication that they are trying to wash their hands from their tainted past.

Implosion on the way

However, a party cannot transform itself from one extreme to another without some form of implosion. What is keeping the party together today is just a façade of unity among the ranks. Things are already starting to fall apart and the musical chairs in Michel’s government are set to continue. Once the old man goes, the break up into different factions is inevitable. They committed treason in 1977 and they will soon be fighting amongst themselves as we mere mortals slave away through the morass.

Our only hope is to have a unified / united country that goes beyond political lines. We need capable people with competence irrespective of their political colours to take the lead and leave the divisive attitudes and politics of the ruling party to the dustbin of history. Michel (and no other member of the Parti Lepep for that matter) can unite this country as they have all been part of or adhered to the treason on 1977. His ‘Koste Seselwa’ theme of this year has seen more division not only in the opposition but also within his own camp.

So what next?

Perhaps next year he will call it ‘Unity Year’ and the year after ‘L’annee de l’unite’… Unity will not be achieved if we do not live by proper values, sincerity, respect for the rule of law. Liberte, egalite, fraternite. We need to be united again as brothers and sisters for the one cause of saving our country from the brink of this precipice. It is only then that we can move forward. We need a transition from a government that has been too long in power and tainted by too many acts of evil. We owe this to our children. Let’s all unite to make this change and usher in a new era of hope, justice, fraternity and prosperity for the People of Seychelles.

The Future of Seychelles

In the end, our people must be united in its effort to remove the SPPF or Parti Lepep from power. A communist turned socialist turned capitalist overnight party cannot implement democracy. They do not know what true democracy really is. The failed regime who has brought our people so much misery cannot and will never implement successful policies of real change. Remember that it is Albert, Michel, Faure, Potter and all the other SPPF stalwarts who have bankrupted Seychelles. So how does anyone expect them to make us successful all of a sudden?

Albert is enjoying his retirement and his wife and kids are rich beyond our wildest dreams. Michel has stashed plenty away and with large pensions awaiting him, he will never have to worry about his next meal while he vacations in five star hotels. Mukesh is surrounded by Gurka guards, and one wonders if he sleeps at night while he worries about his millions stashed in offshore accounts. ChangLeng roams the streets as if he has done nothing wrong. Meanwhile, a few old ladies who have been given a few hundred rupees to carry the dimly lit SPPF torch that is running out of batteries go door to door to see if they can still rally a few votes! Meanwhile, Joel Morgan (Minis Lapire) is on TV every night telling us that he is dealing with Somali pirates when they are attacking boats only 60 miles from Mahé.

A failure is born every minute in life. Each individual Seychellois must make sure they are not one of those failures. Drop SPPF, drop Party Lepep and drop all those failed ideas, failed men and women who have led us into this abyss. History will not remember them kindly. After all, do not expect a man who cannot read and write to lead us into a new era of success!
