THIS IS JERALD OWENS FROM IOWA, USA

A LOT HAS HAPPENED IN THE PARADISE ISLAND SINCE I WROTE LAST. JUST LIKE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF OTHERS I TOO WAS VERY EAGERLY WATCHING THE DEVELOPMENT IN SRI LANKA WITH KEEN INTEREST AS THE LTTE TERROR MACHINE WAS TAKEN APART, DISMANTLED AND DISTROYED.

THE GALLANT LEADERSHIP, AN UNWAVERING COMMITMENT AND DETERMINATION TO UNITE SRI LANKA BY ERADICATING TERRORISM AND AS THE HEAD OF THE ARMED FORCES AND AS A TRUE LEADER, THE PRESIDENT OF THIS ISLAND NATION, THE GREAT PRESIDENT RAJAPAKSA OF SRI LANKA DESTROYED ANY POSSIBILITY OF SRI LANKA BEING BROKEN UP INTO PIECES.

MAY I MENTION FIRST, EVEN THOUGH I AM AN AMERICAN MARRIED TO A SRILANKAN, BORN A CATHOLIC, BUT A BUDDHIST FOR THE PAST 26 YEARS, EVEN THOUGH ONE MIGHT ASK “WHAT BUSINESS I HAVE TO DISCUSS SRI LANKA AFTER THE VERY OBNOXIOUS RESPONSE BY MRS. CLINTON THE US SECRETARY OF STATE ABOUT SRI LANKA’S IMF LOAN” I DO THINK AS A PERSON WHO LOVES SRI LANKA THAT I MIGHT ADD MY PIECE.

THE NEXT STEP IS REBUILDING OF SRI LANKA. IN ADDITON TO REBUILDING THIS LITTLE ISLAND NATION ONE MUST LOOK FOR A PERMANENT SOLUTION THAT WILL PREVENT ANY FUTURE PIPE DREAMS ONE MAY HAVE IN CREATING ANOTHER EELAM, ANOTHER DIVISION ON RELIGIOUS GROUNDS, MARXIST GROUNDS, OR ANY OTHER FOOLISH ADVENTURES. THE COST IN TERMS OF HUMAN LIVES, DEVELOPMENT, ECONOMY AND PEACE IS ENORMOUS.

RECENTLY I READ WITH GREAT INTEREST, A BLOG POSTED BY A MR. JAY PATHBERIYA RECENTLY IN INDIAN EXPRESS AND ALSO IN LANKAWEB OF A TWELVE PERCENT RULE. NOW THAT LTTE HAS BEEN DECISIVELY DEFEATED IT MAY BE A VERY APPROPRIATE TIME TO LOOK AT THIS TWELVE PERCENT RULE A LITTLE DEEPER. ONE MIGHT CALL ME A RASCIST OR AN IDIOT BUT REALISTICALLY SPEAKING IT CAN BE DONE AND SHOULD BE DONE. LARGE MALAYSIA DID IT AND TINY SINGAPORE DID IT TOO. OBVIOUSLY THERE WAS A LOT OF NOISE BUT THAT IS NOW HISTORY, PEOPLE ARE VERY FLEXIBLE AND OVER TIME (THE BEST HEALER) PEOPLE MOVE ON.

QUOTING MR. JAY PATHBERIYA WHO APARENTLY LIVES IN THE US, “SRI LANKA SHOULD NEVER, EVER AGAIN ALLOW MORE THAN TWELVE PERCENT TAMILS IN ANY PROVINCE, DISTRICT, TOWN, VILLAGE OR EVEN IN ANY STREET. WHETHER CHRISTIANS, MOSLEMS, HINDUS OR BUDDHISTS TAMILS ARE TAMILS. AFTER ALL OF THE ENTIRE TAMIL POPULATION IN SRI LANKA (WHICH IS ABOUT 12 PERCENT) ONLY ABOUT 5 TO 6 PERCENT LIVED IN NORTH AND IN THE EAST BEFORE THE WAR. THE REMAINING 94 TO 95 PERCENT SHOULD THEREFORE BE SINHALESE. THIS WAY THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER FOOLISH CLAMOURING FOR AN INDEPENDANT TAMIL HOMELAND. THOSE WHO DO NOT LIKE IT MUST GO BACK TO TAMIL NADU OR ASK THE CATHOLIC CHURCH TO GET THEM OUT OF SRI LANKA. THE FORCES SHOULD NEVER LEAVE THE NORTH AND THE EAST TILL THIS BALANCE IS ACHIEVED”

YOUR NEIGHBOURS IN TAMILNADU MADE QUITE A LOT OF NOISE ABOUT CREATING AN EZHAM OR EELAM FOR THE TAMILS WHO THEY CLAIM TO HAVE BEEN IN SRI LANKA SINCE ADAM AND EVE. CREATING OF EELAM WOULD HAVE CAUSED THE 50 OR 60 MILLION TAMILS FROM SOUTH INDIA OCCUPYING SRI LANKA OVER A VERY SHORT PERIOD OF TIME AND THE SINHALESE RACE DISSAPEARING INTO THE HISTORY. JUST LIKE THE AMERICAN INDIANS, AUSTRALIAN ABORIGINES OR EVEN SRI LANKA’S VEDDAHS.

MUCH HAVE BEEN WRITTEN ABOUT THE RIGHTS OF THE TAMILS IN SRI LANKA AND HOW THE SINHALESE HAVE DISCRIMINATED AGAINST THE POOR INNOCENT TAMILS AND HOW THE BRITISH HAVE CREATED THIS PROBLEM IN SRI LANKA. WELL THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS, THE TAMILS WHERE EVER THEY ARE DO NOT SOCIALIZE WITH ANY OTHER RACE EXCEPT WITH THEIR OWN. WHEN THEY DO, IT IS WITH THE SOLE PURPOSE OF GETTING SOMETHING FROM THE OTHERS. IT IS THE SAME WHERE EVER IN THE WORLD WHEN ONE MEETS A TAMIL OR A TAMIL FAMILY. THIS ATTITUDE WILL NOT AND CANNOT CHANGE AND RESULTED IN THE TAMILS BEING ISOLATED WHERE EVER THEY LIVE. THEY ALSO (RATHER FOOLISHLY AND ARROGANTLY) CONSIDER THEMSELVES A SUPERIOR RACE, WHILE SHOWING TO THE MAJORITY POPULATION THAT THEY ARE THE HARD WORKING UNDERDOG OR THE POOR INNOCENT PARTY.

IN SRI LANKA, BEFORE THE BRITISH LEFT THE TAMILS WANTED A 50/50 POWER STAKE IN SRI LANKA IN MID 30’S CLAIMING THEMSELVES TO BE A SUPERIOR RACE. THEY LOOKED DOWN NOT ONLY ON THE SINHALESE, BUT ALSO ON THE TAMILS IN TAMIL NADU AND THE ESTATE TAMILS TOO. EVEN AMONG THE TAMILS THE TAMIL HINDUS WERE THE GOD’S GIFT. THEN STEPS IN THE CHRITIAN CHURCH TO HELP THOSE TAMILS WHO ARE CHRISTIANS AND ARE VICTIMIZED BY THE TAMIL HINDUS. THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH THEN DECIDED TO PUT INTO ACTION THEIR OWN AGENDA. REMEMBER IN 1830 JUST AFTER THE BRITISH CONQUERED SRI LANKA, THE AMERICAN MISSIONARIES CAME TO SRI LANKA AND STARTED CONVERTING TAMILS TO CHRISTIANITY AND STARTED THE FIRST MISSIONARY SCHOOLS IN THE NORTH AND THE EAST. THE SINHALESE BUDDHIST DID NOT WANT THESE DO GOODERS TO START ENGLISH SCHOOLS IN PARTS OF THE COUNTRY WHERE THE MAJORITY SINHALESE LIVED – MAY BE A BIG MISTAKE.

QUOTING AGAIN FROM ANOTHER RECENT BLOG BY MR. JAY PATHBERIYA ” THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH WHO CREATED THE LIKES OF PRABHAKARAN DID SO WITH ONE OBJECTIVE. EAST TIMOR, VERY SOON DAFUR, SOUTH SUDAN, ARE ALL CATHLIC ENCLAVES. PRABHAKARAN WAS USED TO TRY TO CREATE A MONO-ETHNIC CATHOLIC COUNTRY. AN IDEAL PLACE TO EXPAND FROM, BETWEEN HINDU INDIA AND BUDDHIST SRI LANKA. THE PLAN IS CLEAR. FIRST CREATE RIOTS AND LARGE NUMBERS OF PEOPLE WHO ARE MOSTLY CHRISTIANS ARE ALLOWED TO MIGRATE TO THE WEST. THESE MIGRANTS THEN SUPPORT THE CIVIL WAR WITH FUNDING. CHRISTIAN NGO’s THEN GO TO DEVELOP THE SO CALLED UNDEVELOPED AREAS AND TRAIN WAR LORDS.”

US, UK, EU, AUSSIES, NZ AND SOUTH AFRICA – ALL CHRISTIAN COUNTRIES LOVE TO HELP THE POOR TAMILS AND ALSO TO MAKE A LOT OF NOISE, CUT FUNDING AND DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS ETC., ETC. THESE COUNTRIES WHO HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS GOING ON EXCEPT FOR WHAT IS FED TO THEM BY THE NGO’S FALL FOR THE UNDERDOG, INNOCENT VICTIM PROPAGANDA.

QUOTING MR. PATHBERIYA AGAIN “EVENTUALLY THE COUNTRY IS DIVIDED TO CREATE ANOTHER CHRISTIAN COUNTRY. PEOPLE SHOULD BE EDUCATED ON THIS MASS CHRISTIANS PROGANDA AND CONVERSION MACHINES”.

BEFORE THE IDP’S ARE RE-SETTLED FROM THEIR CAMPS, THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD PUT MACHINERY IN PLACE TO SETTLE TOGETHER WITH THE TAMILS A LARGE CONTINGENT OF SINHALESE FAMILIES. THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE NORTH AND EAST SHOULD BE ACHIEVED ONLY ONCE THE NEW SETTLERS HAVE BEEN DECIDED UPON. THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY FROM THE SOUTH SHOULD BE INDUCED TO GO NORTH AND SETTLE DOWN. INDUSTRIAL AGRICULTURE SHOULD BE DEVELOPED IN THE NORTH THAT CAN FEED THE ENTIRE EOUNTRY. THE POPULATION IS DENSE IN THE SOUTH AND VERY SCANT IN THE EAST AND THE NORTH. NORTH AND THE EAST HAVE SOME OF THE BEST LAND FOR TOURISM TOO.

THE MAJORITY SINHALESE ON THE PARADISE ISLAND MADE GREAT SACRIFICES WITH THEIR SONS AND DAUGHTER WHO FOUGHT AGAINST TERRORISM AND BRING SANITY AND TO UNITE SRI LANKA WHILE MOST OF THE TAMILS RAN AWAY TO THE WEST AND KEPT FUNDING THE TERROR MACHINE TO DO JUST THE OPPOSITE. SRI LANKA AS A WHOLE (TAMILS AND THE SINHALESE ALIKE) OWE IT TO THE

SINHALESE MAJORITY WHO MADE IT POSSIBLE. EVEN OTHERWISE KEEPING A MAJORITY SINHALESE POPULATION AS A BUFFER, ESPECIALLY IN THE NORTH AND THE EAST WILL CHECK THE ADVENTURE OF TAMIL NADU TAMILS INTO SRI LANKA AND CREATING HAVOC AGAIN. IT HAS HAPPENED THROUGHOUT THE HISTORY OF SRI LANKA FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS.

THE TWELVE PERCENT RULE SHOULD BE A DETERRENT FOR ANY FUTURE DIVISION OF SRI LANKA. IT IS A 21ST CENTURY SOLUTION FOR A 8TH CENTURY PROBLEM INNOCENTLY CAUSE BY SRI LANKA’S FORE FATHERS. OVER TO YOU MR./ MRS. READERS.
