RECONCILIATION PORNOGRAPHY

The entire show of the reconciliation pornography now taking place in Sri Lanka replete with tear jerking video images of all and sundry, especially the boring but earnest and amiable, is in fact polarizing the communities more than ever.
It is not the images themselves of course but the reverse engineering that is taking place by targeted attacks on war heroes, etc. that is the rub.
Everyone knows what these attacks are and there is no need for any special articulation of the fact, but the sowing of hatred and revenge, passing off for reconciliation, could be called reconciliation pornography
However those who appear in sleek black and white videos are not responsible for the further polarization of society as a result of ‘reconciliation.’
But, as usual the polarization of society is being carried out on the backs of those who lend themselves for a cause whose repercussions they know not.
A major part of these reconciliation efforts have been thrust upon us by a body of ‘liberals’ from various parts of the world, whose actions are only too well known to us.
These people would eventually have to bear the burden of fissures that would occur in this society as a result of the polarizing reconciliation pornography that is taking place in society today. It comes in the form of harassment — quite deliberate — of soldiers by a certain coterie with support from high places, and such harassment is worn as a badge of honor by the perpetrators. It comes in various other forms of harassment and marginalization of people whose views are not kosher in the minds of the currently dominant coterie.
We do not need to elaborate on the causative reasons behind this mentality. The banality of this evil speaks for itself.

What, RECONCILIATION with unrepentant SEPARATIST SUPPORTERS of MURDEROUS TERRORISTS? RIDICULOUS!
I have not heard from ONE Tamil politico an ABJECT APOLOGY and DENOUNCIATION of the RACIST EELAMISTS, and a vow to CEASE & DESIST in the future!
ALL they ask for is for the Sinhala people to APLOGIZE for fighting for their SURVIVAL in SELF-DEFENSE?
This kind of RECONCILIATION is a VAST SCAM that must be REJECTED OUTRIGHT!
NO RECONCILIATION of ANY KIND with UNREPENTANT TERRORISTS!
NO DEVOLUTION of POWER to UNREPENTANT SEPARATISYS!
REPEAL the 13-th Amendments, DISSOLVE the Provincial Councils, and RESTORE a strong NATIONAL GOVERNMENT without any elected sub-national local governments!
RELIEVE the people of Sri Lanka from the BURDENS and INSTABILITY of MULTIPLE LAYERS of regional government!
