We should celebrate independence only if we function as an independent nation. There is little point throwing tamashas to celebrate independence if we are taking orders from foreign nations or running to them before making decisions or have to get their nod of approval to run the affairs of the country. We need to seriously ask whether we are today a sovereign state. In self-forfeiting our sovereignty, the nation has landed itself in a virtual soup of irreversible mess.

That Sri Lanka is fast turning into a banana republic is quite clear. That plan has been materializing for a long time by foreign governments, organizations on their payroll and locals tapped into do the legwork. Thus, from media, editors, lawyers, unions, fringe groups, students, to even politicians and professionals had been tapped to be their virtual spokespersons. Protests are stage managed to create the seeds of dissent in preparedness to force any government that do not tow the line to fall. Thus the new constitution is obviously been drafted to facilitate the plans of all foreign agendas. Partnership agreements is nothing but agreeing to enforce the foreign plan while personally looking after those agreeing. There is no country to country partnership agreement. The calls for demilitarization, bogus allegations against Sri Lankan forces, return of lands to people who never even owned lands, building houses for illegal immigrants, deforestation and creating mono-ethnic enclave where training trouble starts were all part of a larger plan.

US, UK and India where corruption is happening big time is coming to end corruption in Sri Lanka….we are going round the world telling we are corrupt to people who are masters of corruption…amazing http://www.tamilguardian.com/article.asp?articleid=15584

Who is governing Sri Lanka? US, UK or India. This is what happens when a country’s leaders with allegiance to aliens ends up taking orders from aliens http://www.newindianexpress.com/world/US-SL-Strategic-Dialogue-Could-Lead-to-Lankas-Accepting-Land-Bridge-With-India/2016/03/01/article3305082.ece

Why are foreigners so concerned about what should be inside our constitution?

• UK denies helping but we know that every time a British PM denies it is always the opposite, Margaret Thatcher prime example, Blair too http://www.seithy.com/breifNews.php?newsID=149373&category=EnglishNews&language=english
• US support for Sri Lanka Constitutional reforms – http://www.lankabusinessonline.com/us-reiterates-support-for-constitutional-reforms-in-sri-lanka/
• The Centre for Policy Alternatives objective is CPA has since its inception been at the forefront of the advocacy of federalism as a political and constitutional idea for addressing many of the constitutional problems and anomalies that characterize the Sri Lankan State.” (http://www.cpalanka.org/governance/) examples of CPA federalism promotion http://cpalanka.org/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/Outreach-Background-To-2009.pdf. The Executive Director of CPA is the government’s selected Secretary to the Consultative Committee overlooking the new constitution. No one is naïve not to put two and two together to realize that the objective is to ensure the Unitary nature of the current constitution is removed alongside the historical status Buddhism and the majority race has had in Sri Lanka. The placement of people funded by foreign governments is to ensure that ‘secularism’ means nothing but clipping the powers of the Sinhala Buddhists and separating the nation to honor the monetary pledges that had been made for support given to bring people to power. Tamil leaders are already calling for self-determination http://www.tamilguardian.com/article.asp?articleid=17287

Amidst this slow strangulation of Sri Lanka tapping into all corners where decision taking occurs and ensuring ‘their people’ are positioned, it is a piece of cake to carry out the real agenda.

• Samantha Power & Soros to press for Federal Solution – (using Tamils to carve out a Diego Garcia out of Sri Lanka) http://www.asiantribune.com/node/88205
• The aim is not a federal set up but a confederal one which is why there is reference to United Sri Lanka instead of Unitary. This was a proposal by a US think tank in 2000 http://tamilnation.co/conflictresolution/tamileelam/00USthinktank.htm
• More recently a pact was promised under the Singapore principles of 2013 which is the foundation to agree to a new constitution https://www.tamilnet.com/art.html?catid=79&artid=37606

Singapore’s involvement

• Sri Lanka’s Governor Central Bank not surprisingly is a Singaporean (not a dual citizen because Singapore does not allow dual citizenship)

• Singapore to restructure Sri Lanka Foreign Ministry http://www.asianmirror.lk/news/item/15117-singapore-to-help-sri-lanka-in-restructuring-foreign-ministry

• Singapore to help Sri Lanka in urban planning. http://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/business/singapore-partners-sri/1768034.html

India’s involvement

• Sri Lanka can’t even buy a plane from Pakistan if India objects. http://www.adaderana.lk/news.php?nid=33732

• The worst medicines are sent from India and we seek assistance on pharma issues – http://www.hcicolombo.org/press.php?id=392

• India to give electricity to Sri Lanka – what if they refuse when we don’t follow India’s orders? http://www.thehindu.com/business/Industry/sri-lanka-india-power-projec-to-get-green-nod-soon/article7758023.ece

• Now India wants to build Sri Lanka’s tallest building… have they forgotten the many Indians starving to death! http://www.dailymirror.lk/81509/indian-firm-to-build-sri-lanka-s-tallest-building Obviously this is to avenge the Lotus Tower built by the Chinese.

• India to assist building Sri Lanka’s coastguards .. now here’s a good one. We have Indians poaching on our waters, stealing our fish and refusing to stop the theft as well as destruction of our marine base using internationally banned bottom trawlers and India is ensuring that our coastguards turn the other side while the Indian fishermen do so… http://ft.myday.lk/article/8648/Indian-assistance-to-build-Sri-Lanka-Coast-Guard

• Indians coming in through Ambulance service first – http://www.colombopage.com/archive_16A/Feb22_1456139857CH.php

• The ultimate plan – annexing India to Sri Lanka. http://www.tamilguardian.com/article.asp?articleid=15501

US involvement

• US showing Sri Lanka Customs how to liberalize customs regulations to enable more market trade. You know what that means – allowing foreigners a free hold over everything in Sri Lanka and removing the regulations so they won’t get taxed. http://www.asianmirror.lk/news/item/15110-us-assisting-sri-lanka-customs-to-develop-trade

• US even praises a sovereign country for disbursing lands – http://www.dailymirror.lk/106186/Return-remaining-lands-swiftly-US-to-SL

• India & US (with white collar criminals galore) are assisting the SL Government in former Government fraud. Over a year now and nothing has been proved except digging up swimming pools and lands belonging to supporters. http://www.tamilguardian.com/article.asp?articleid=14159

• Why is US involved only in Sri Lanka’s North? http://www.colombopage.com/archive_16A/Feb29_1456748309CH.php

• US is even training Sri Lanka’s Parliament! – http://srilanka.usembassy.gov/pr-1feb16.html

• Wow – US is supporting the Sri Lanka Bar Association too…http://srilanka.usembassy.gov/pr-16jan14.html

• Heard of colored revolutions using youth, here’s how it is done – http://srilanka.usembassy.gov/pr-23march10.html

• What missionaries did then, NGOs funded by Western governments are now doing. When US pays NGOs to help law & order in Sri Lanka does it not mean that these NGOs hend up taking orders from the US Govt?   http://www.colombopage.com/archive_15B/Jun19_1434654584CH.php

• Enveloping Sri Lanka culturally & through religion. In case many are not aware US government funds go to faith-based organizations working to US government agenda. So much for the future of Buddhism in Sri Lanka under the guise of helping. http://srilanka.usembassy.gov/pr-5oct15.html

• US to assist in building land and maritime border security (China and Russia out of bounds in Sri Lanka), narcotics control (who controls the opium trade through Afghanistan?), military education (whatever that means when it should be Sri Lanka who should be doing the training on how to militarily defeat terrorists) http://www.colombopage.com/archive_16A/Feb10_1455112714CH.php

Canada involvement

• Canada to assist SME exporters – http://www.news.lk/news/sri-lanka/item/8286-canada-edb-partners-to-assist-sme-exporters

UN involvement

• There are UN representatives arriving in Sri Lanka virtually every hour. This is like a UN holiday destination for them.

• Interference into internal affairs of a country is a violation of the UN Charter… does the UN puppets care? http://www.wsj.com/articles/u-n-calls-for-foreign-prosecutors-to-assist-sri-lanka-in-war-crimes-trials-1443711486

• Direct UN assistance only to the North – another violation http://www.asiantribune.com/node/87559

In taking a look at all the spheres of influence key foreign nations are encircling Sri Lanka it is not difficult to conclude that we are slowly but surely turning into a neo-colonial state, a virtual vassal that will forfeit our lands, dignity, culture, history to eventually destroy a great religion and philosophy that has been a target for destruction ever since the arrival of the colonial invaders.
