Thank you Gatoaitele Savea Sano Malifa for your editorial.  Ua e tali faatamali’i. Ua e tali fa’atupu. Pei o upu e masani ai si o tatou atunu’u, “E iloa le tamalii i lana tu, i lana savali ma lana tautala.”

But let me ask you a question, “What did it feel like to apologize to the people, knowing you didn’t do anything wrong? What does it feel like to sacrifice the Truth to satisfy those who denied the Truth?” It must’ve been very frustrating and disappointing. You must’ve felt depressed; hurt; powerless and  confused. But you made a choice and sacrificed yourself for the Truth in order to satisfy those hypocrites and fools who denied the Truth, so they may have peace.

 Now the question I would like to ask those who demanded the apology, “ Are you really living in peace right now, after receiving your apology from an innocent?”

When I first read your editorial, I was disappointed with you for backing down from  the Truth. I thought deeply about it  and soul searched  – outside and inside of myself, searching for  the message, the logic and the philosophy of what you did. I couldn’t find it anywhere but guess where I found it? I found it in the Bible where Jesus lowered himself, was whipped and spat at; crucified; his heart speared and was condemned to die on the cross half naked by those who refused to accept the Truth.  As we all know, Jesus is the Word and the Truth. That’s when I found satisfaction in your response and understood why you apologized and where you were coming from.  Only the humble and the greatest can do what you did and what you did shows a man of true character and leadership. I salute you.

I wondered too if those who crucified Jesus found peace at last and were satisfied by what they did to Him?  I doubt it very much.

But hear me out, I’ve written many letters to your paper where I’ve repeated myself saying  that Samoa today is no longer a Christian nation and is no longer founded in God as we once were.  Samoa today is founded in corruption; ignorance; lies; greed; hypocrisy, etc.

Here are my reasons why: Look around you.  Look at our govt. Look at our Matai.  Look at our spiritual leaders.  Look at PM Tuilaepa and HRPP. Can anyone honestly tell me that PM Tuilaepa truly believes  Samoa is still founded in God? Because if he did, then he wouldn’t deny poverty, the high crime rate; the increasing high unemployment rate; he wouldn’t deny the people the Chief Auditor and the OPC reports that yet to be tabled in Parliament; he wouldn’t deny govt corruption under his leadership; he wouldn’t write leniency letters for rapists and criminals; he wouldn’t call our people all names under the sun; he wouldn’t make excessive loans, now exceeding $1.5 Billion, that will enslave our future generations; he wouldn’t lie, make broken promises and excuses to the people;  he wouldn’t resort to bribery, rig the elections and abuse the faasamoa to interfere with the court procedures regarding the elections;   the list can go on and on forever about PM Tuilaepa and his HRPP  govt and their denials.

The most disappointing thing about this: Every MP in govt today knows  about the evidence of govt corruption that is still occurring today. Even our spiritual leaders are aware of it. Does that sound like a country founded in God? Of course not.  As Einstein said, “The world is a dangerous place to live; not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it.”

Regarding the Pulenu’u  Fata Saifoloi and the matai who aired their grievances on national TV, I strongly believe PM Tuilaepa was  the instigator behind it and was also one of the reasons why he called a Commission of Inquiry to investigate the Land and Titles Court judges .  This whole thing appears shonky to me. I remembered  what PM Tuilaepa said in the past – “the Pulenu’u is employed by the govt and they are the eyes and ears of the govt.”  So really, the Pulenu’u are not for the people, but  are dogs for the govt.

And since when in the Samoan culture  were these small matai po lalago allowed to question the Paramount Titles that belong to kingship families,  where the Titles are conferred  only to their descendents  of their bloodline?  The pulenu’u and the matai are puppets on a string. But what is the puppeteer’s problem with the holders of Paramount Titles? Why is he sticking his ignoble nose into the Paramount Title holders and their families business and village affairs as well? Sa’o ai le saunoaga a le Head of State sa fai i le vaitaimi sa Palemia ai, i puppets/pulenuu ma le latou puppeteer – “Kou ke fiu a e u’u le kae pua’a i le  u’u, e pipilo a.”  That same  puppeteer has butchered our Constitution and changed our laws and used that to change the  village faavae and aganu’u to serve his evil and egotistical agenda. That is corruption at its best.

Correct me if I’m wrong, Fata and Maulolo, have no connection to any kingship bloodline. All I know about Fata and Maulolo was that they were Malietoa’s fafaga puaa from Sili Savaii. If I were you, send them back to where they come from and to where they belong – the pa pua’a.

You’re not the only Paramount Title holder this happened to. It happened to Le Tagaloa Pita. Remember too what happened to the Head of State and Lufilufi where the courts ruled in favor of the Head of State? Even that problem between the Head of State and Lufilufi continued on until the Head of State wrote a letter to PM Tuilaepa and told him that if this Lufilufi problem does not resolve sooner, he will resign. At the end, the Lufilufi matai asked the Head of State to forgive the wrong they’ve done to him. Now I myself question the Head of State’s letter to PM Tuilaepa. Did the H.O.S think PM Tuilaepa was part of the problem or the instigator of the problem? I let you be the judge.  But I remember the incident between the  late Malietoa Tanumafili II and the village of Malie where they overstepped their boundary with him. He told them straight, “Vaai outou i uma a’e ua leai ni fanua tou te nonofo ai.” Lol They quickly withdrew.

Living in Samoa today under corrupt leaders and their governance, is like living in a desert island where there’s no water to quench your thirst. If your soul is thirsty for the Truth, there’d be no river of Truth here in Samoa to quench it. The rivers of Truth in Samoa have dried out from corruption.

I feel for this stigmata girl and her parents and how they’ve been harshly criticized by the people, especially knowing that any father would stand by his daughter regardless. I know the Rev, the girl and their family members are upset over the criticism from people of her message. The Truth is, if these are True messages of God revealed thru her and God wanted her to deliver the message, then they shouldn’t be offended at all – just deliver the message and allow the Spirit of God to work on the people. I myself have doubts. I’m happy for the people of Samoa to question the authenticity of the stigmata and the messages.  How many false prophets of the past (and present) who claimed they’ve been chosen to deliver the message of Jesus/God and everyone jumped and followed without discernment, and those prophets led them to mass murder/suicide at the end? False prophets like David Koresh, Jones and 100s of others before them? Remember Samoa is founded on God and each time you open that Bible and read it, God is communicating with you directly. God is communicating with us every day but the people of this nation deny His Voice every second of their lives and follow the voice of the devil instead. Corrupt PM Tuilaepa, corrupt HRPP and the corrupt leaders of this country all know that.  For the past  30 years since  HRPP came to power till this present day, they continue to corrupt this nation and oppress the poor, the sick and the weak. For 30 years, corrupt PM Tuilaepa and HRPP have heard God’s voice telling them not to do it but they still go ahead and rob the people  and follow the voice of the devil telling them, “Go make $Billion loans and do whatever you want – don’t worry the people will pay for it. You’re not going to be the PM forever. Give their lands to the Chinese and don’t hold any more church services on Independence Day. If the people cry out about poverty, high unemployment, the high cost of living, the high suicide rate, the escalating crime rate etc – deny them all.” That’s the devils loud voice to corrupt PM Tuilaepa and HRPP and all the leaders of this nation. Little do they know, to deny the poor, the sick and the weak is to deny the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. That’s the message from God to me to pass on to you every day. I don’t need His message to be delivered to me in Hebrew or any other language – His message is delivered to me and all of you loud and clear in the language of the Holy Spirit every second of our lives. I wish Rev Opapo and his stigmata daughter Toaipuapuaga could post all the messages on here – let us translate it ourselves. Translating Hebrew and Aramaic into English is no different to translating Samoan into English. Knowing  how corrupt PM Tuilaepa, HRPP and the corrupt Spiritual leaders are, they  might corrupt the messages to make themselves look angelic. I also hope it’s not the purpose of corrupt PM Tuilaepa’s trip to New Zealand to go to the Hebrew center where he sent the message to to be translated and alter it to his favor and use it for his political spins. The man is not afraid to corrupt God too – he has done it many times over and the people of Samoa continue to be fooled by it. I also wish both the stigmata, Rev Opapo and their family all the best. www.talamua.com/stigmata-girl-to-reveal-gods-final-message-at-end-of-august/

Let’s be serious about this debate between Olo Fiti Vaai and corrupt PM Tuilaepa regarding the Amendment to the Citizenship Bill, where corrupt PM Tuilaepa called MP Olo Fiti, stupid. Now let’s look at what he said and see how stupid corrupt PM Tuilaepa is. He used the Manu Samoa and the eligibility of Samoans overseas to justify his bill. There’s a big difference between Samoan kids born overseas and the foreign investor that wants to come to Samoa - you don’t put them together in one basket and neither would every other country around the world when it comes to their Citizenships. Then why is he rushing to pass this bill? Is it to cover up the corruption he committed in the past and the Chinese that are already here? And why do we need this bill when corrupt PM Tuilaepa and the HRPP govt have already illegally sold over  2000  passports to the Chinese and got away with it? If corrupt PM Tuilaepa was so smart, then why  did he corrupt the elections? And why is our loan close to $2 Billion and all the social problems here in Samoa are increasing dramatically under his leadership?  He also mentioned the govt holds more than two thirds  of the seats in  Parliament – yes, the 2/3 that he corrupted during the elections. If you look at the Brexit, one of the main reasons why the people of Great Britain voted for Brexit was all to do with their border security – they don’t want any Tom, Dick and Harry to just come into their country but want them all to be assessed properly prior to their entry. Watch how other European countries will do the same soon. So who is the smarter one here? Of course it’s MP Olo Fiti Vaai - not corrupt pm Tuilaepa. Great Britain don’t want to give the real reason behind their exit because they don’t want to be labeled as a racist country. It’s nothing to do with racism but all to do with the people wanting their country back. Samoa should do the same thing. At least MP Olo Fiti has more courage than those British Politicians by speaking  out to protect the interest and the people of  this country from the Chinese invaion. Of course they’ve already taken over our businesses, our water/ocean and are after our lands. And there’s nothing corrupt PM Tuilaepa can say or do about it as 67% of our loans which create jobs for the Chinese but not for Samoa, are from the Exim Bank which is the bank owned by the govt of China. The worst thing about this is that all those new HRPP MPs who said during their election campaigns that they were  going to make a change for the betterment of Samoa and that corrupt PM Tuilaepa corrupted the elections for, have now gone silent because they feel and know they owe something to corrupt PM Tuilaepa. None of these HRPP MPs ran in the elections to serve the people but their own self interests. The corruption in govt is getting worst and things are not getting any better.
