The greatest challenge posed by Robert BlakeƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s recent remarks on Sri Lanka, while his agent Fonseka is yet to explain the source of the US dollar bounty, and while his neocon forces in Afghanistan are exterminating poor Afghan villagers, is to find means of expressing the utter disgust such remarks deserve; they surpass the levels of description achievable through commonly used terms such as ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”¹…”hypocriticalƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢ and ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”¹…”dishonestƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢.

ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ A few moments of reflection makes one realise that this Zionist grub is almost a caricature of Shylock, the greedy Jewish usurer Shakespeare created in The Merchant of Venice: to make the context a little clearer, Shylock was the character who attempted to offer a little biblical lesson from the Old Testament to justify usury, prompting the Christian Antonio to respond thus:

The devil can cite Scripture for his purpose.
An evil soul producing holy witness
Is like a villain with a smiling cheek
A goodly apple rotten at the heart.
O, what a goodly outside falsehood hath!

ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ Hearing BlakeƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s attempt to issue moralistic ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”¹…”instructionsƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢ from across the Palk straits where the neocon establishment has appointed him to be the so-called ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”¹…”Assistant Secretary for South and Central Asian AffairsƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢, as to how we should deal with his paid agent Fonseka was nauseating.

ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ The governmentƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s instantaneous dismissal of this fraudƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s attempt to save his skin was smart, professional and appropriate.

ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ The timing of the media blitz on Sri Lanka, once again, by the neocon establishment, using the US banner was first and foremost an attempt to divert attention from the disgraceful US and NATO murders of dozens of innocent civilians including women and children in Afghanistan.

ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ While Blake the grub was on the BBC and on the Indian ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”¹…”FrontlineƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢ magazine, attempting to divert attention from the war crimes, the interestingly named State Department ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”¹…”spokespersonƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢ P.J. Crowley was ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”¹…”explainaingƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢ the war crimes by saying that everything is being done to ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”¹…”minimiseƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢ the potential loss of civilian lives in Afghanistan!

ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ In a strange exposition of logic, ridiculous even by American standards, Crowley said that the incident that killed more than two dozen civilians, “is a reflection, of their refined strategy, that places significant emphasis on reducing, you know, the impact of these operations on the Afghan populationƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚. He went on to say: “There is, you know, ongoing loss of life in Afghanistan, and much of that loss of life is the responsibility of the Taliban. I have yet to hear them apologise.”

ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ We donƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢t have to complain against or even acknowledge the fraudulent and ridiculous contradiction between this position and the feigned concern they showed towards the so-called ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”¹…”civilian casualtiesƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢ in Sri Lanka they based on fabricated stories of other Zionist agents and agencies like Gordon Weiss, Paul Castellano and various INGOs.

ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ Blake, being the Zionist agent corrupt to his toe bones, did not even mention the Afghan killings, but attempted a number of diversions. Truly scared that Fonseka will, any moment, reveal the source of millions of dollars he received, Blake is grunting; he would like the government to bring charges against Fonseka ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”¹…”promptlyƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢. The haste is because it will give Fonseka less time to ponder about a plea bargaining deal with the government. Blake is certainly worried, and has also said that ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ…-U.S. have encouraged the Sri Lankan government to make public as quickly as possible what those charges areƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚.

ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ The only way to respond to these criminals is to act smarter than them; the government did so throughout the war, and has now taken the first step in ordering Blake to ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”¹…”shut upƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢ and in saying that FoneskaƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s criminal offences are a matter for the legal system in Sri Lanka and not for the corrupt, Zionist self-appointed ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”¹…”rulers of the worldƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢.

ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ The government should take as much time as necessary to extract the necessary information, preferably through a confession, on FonsekaƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s crimes, most importantly as to the source of millions of dollars he received. That will expose BlakeƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s criminality to the world.

ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ This grub has little regard for the diplomatic protocol and he has also attempted to exploit the unwise and unwarranted remarks made by the Mahanayaka theros. It is obvious that he took care not to mention names such as that of ever-soƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢¢”š¬‚active Duleep de Chickera because that would have revealed his alliances in Sri Lanka.

ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ Next he has tried to dictate that one of the highest priorities for Sri Lanka is to complete the resettlement of the remaining 100,000 internally displaced people and allow them to return to their homes and villages in the north ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”¹…”as quickly as possibleƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢: the dishonest grub is obviously treating the more than three million registered Afghan refugeesƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢¢”š¬…” 2.1 million in Pakistan and 0.9 million in Iran ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢¢”š¬…” and hundreds of thousands more living in other countries as ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”¹…”dispensableƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢ human cargo. The Tamils however, occupy a special place in his heart, probably similar to the love a jackal would have for chooks!

ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ There are several other meaningless points the thief has tried to make and they have simply evaporated under the heat of Afghan murders.

ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ The government does not need to respond to this thief, but concentrate on getting the crucial information from Fonseka that the US dollar notes arrived in a diplomatic bag to the US embassy and was passed on to his ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”¹…”campaign officeƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢ by the US and Australian embassy couriers. That is the truth.

ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ Another important step should be to ask questions from UN Human Rights and other hierarchy such as Navi Pillai, Lynn Pascoe and even Ban Ki-Moon as to why there is no ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”¹…”outrageƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢ or even concern about the civilian deaths in Afghanistan.

ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ Are honest but poor lives less valuable than those of corrupt money bags like Robert Blake?
