Dear Concerned and Friends of Concerned —
Please stop.
We can only hope now for the best. But there are still parts of this collapse that need to be addressed — especially the way religion was weaponised for votes. That tactic has now set a dangerous precedent.
When FAST came into power, helped by the judiciary’s involvement (a topic for another day), they arrived under the slogan: God-anointed and appointed.
Their leader—the Prime Minister—was lifted onto the maasālafā as a divine choice. But when Fiame, the so-called anointed leader, stood for the rule of law and upheld the governance of transparency and accountability that the Constitution demands—Faavae i le Atua Samoa—she was attacked.
But let’s be clear:
If she was anointed by God, then attacking her was, by their logic, an attack on God.
There was one thing they failed to do — walk in God’s path.
You can’t wave God’s name in public and walk in vengeance behind closed doors.
It was never going to last.
Like Lot’s wife, who turned back and became salt, bitterness began to eat away from within. And now, the collapse.
Let it be known: God’s name should never be used in vain.
So now that they’ve collapsed —
Was it God’s will or God’s wrath?
I don’t know.
But I do know this — you can’t preach unity under God by night while standing next to criminal charges in daylight.
And yet, this is the tone that “Concerned” and “Friend of Concerned” are trying to paint:
That Fiame was betrayed. That she was the victim for standing up to evil.
But here’s the honest question:
After all her years in politics—how did she not know La’auli?
You weren’t just innocent bystanders.
You were allies. Strategists. Co-architects of the very party now in ruins.
And now, you crawl out of the rubble as faceless, nameless keyboard warriors, trying to pin the blame back on HRPP.
It doesn’t work that way.
You need to own it. All of it.
- Own that you joined forces with a party parading as Godly United Samoa.
- Own the failure to keep power in check.
- Own the delays. The silences.
- Own the choice to look away when La’auli needed confronting.
- Own the collapse.
Only then can you rebuild—honestly and cleanly.
Until then, keep HRPP out of your mouths.
Because this storm?
You built it.
