VICTORY FOR THOSE WHO FUND TERRORISM
Posted on April 3rd, 2010

The Australian print and electronic media reported that three Tamil Tiger supporters who were charged for having supported LTTE terrorist group were allowed ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ to walk free by ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ judge Paul Coghlan onƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  good behaviour bonds.

The decision is appalling and a victory for those who fund terrorist outfits operating from Australian soil.

Victorian Supreme court Decision by Justice Coghlan to free three Tamil Tiger supporters with ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ good behavior bonds is a victory for those who covertly support and fund the various terror groups operating from Australian soil. The irony of the decision is that they were let out Scott free even after pleading guilty for the offences committed (a) that they collected money for LTTE and (b)having sent sophisticated electronic equipment to LTTEƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  terrorist group to facilitate their terrorist operations. This decision will be an incentive for the terror groups knowing that they can go Scott free even after committing a heinous crime.

I also see an anomaly in Supreme Court decisions on terrorism by various judges.

Sometimes back, the Australian Law Enforcement Authorities arrested an Australian for having received funds from Al Qaeda and was extradited to USA and kept him there in custody for a couple of years. In a Supreme Court decision in Perth, Mahamulla an Al Qaeda supporter was sentenced to 26 years for having some connection with Al Qaeda. But in Melbourne, three LTTE activists living in Australia (please see Herald Sun Report with Keith MoorƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s video) who pleaded guilty for various terrorist related offences were allowed to walk free by SC Judge Paul Coghlan. One cannot reason out why the law is differently applied, say severe punishment to those who support Muslim terrorist groups and no punishment to those who support LTTE terrorist group.

    Shocking articles in The Age Newspaper regarding those who funded terrorism;

    Thank you Malin for your article. It is shocking how the law is diluted and Federal Police who had done their duty within their scope of authority and with no ultra vires in their powers have been blamed by the judge. On top of all, the three men have pleaded guilty. But the law is shockingly diluted through sympathy.

    The world saw how a group of terrorists kept killing innocent civilians ruthlessly and in very barbaric manner for 30 yrs saying they are fighting for a separate state. The authors of the above articles would have not lived in this world and their only source of information from real Tamils, but from Pro LTTEs only.

    There is an equal percentage of other minorities living in Sri Lanka peacefully with Sinhalese including Tamils who are not LTTE or pro LTTE who are frightened to speak against these terrors. They live peacefully in Colombo and other areas in the South for years. As Sinhalese we all condemned the mob attack which took place in 1983 and Tamils who faced this knew that the attack was not from the entire Sinhalese. It never repeated but the pro LTTEs took advantage of this for their cause. 1983 never repeated and we owe a public apology to the Tamils who suffered as a result. I lived in London with some friends who faced this threat in 1983.

    However above articles and law of the Victorian court talk as if Tamils are the only minority living in Sri Lanka. They should do their homework properly before they misrepresent the facts. It is a great sin to mislead the world by using media and consequently the law too should rely on the real facts. There are other minorities living in Sri Lanka. Most of the Muslims in Sri Lanka too are educated in Tamil language. They didn’t join the LTTEs fight a separate state saying that they are discriminated. Sri Lanka has made a holiday for all important days specific to each race . Free education, free hospitals and other government benefits are entitled by all people. University education is based on a merit system only and race is not an issue.

    I wonder what would have happened if a group of Aboriginals got together and started shooting and setting bombs in public transport saying that it is their land. After all they really owned the country. Will the Victorian law and these authors have the same sympathy? Then it will be branded as terrorism against democracy. Will they have the same sympathy if some migrants grumbled that jobs are being denied because they have no Australian experience. Many educated professionals drive taxis etc in Australia because even after doing their bridging studies in higher professions, they are not recognised for jobs. Will these authors have the same sympathy if they gang for violence? Sadly these murderous LTTEs are given excuses.

    Because LTTE is a terrorist arm of Vatican/UK. LTTE is still backed by Catholic Church in Sri lanka. If Sri Lankans respect the NAZI POPE, how can they expect Australia to punish NAZI POPE backed LTTE?

    Now Catholics cry that Shiranthi Rajapakse is a Catholic and LTTE will be pardoned in Sri lanka than punished!

    Malin the Australian scenario is not that bad as their cousins Britishers.

    1). It is well known to Sri Lankans that Tamil Tiger Terrorist’ second in command/Leader of LTTE’s international network as well as chief negotiator Anton Balasingham was a Tamil/English translator in British High Commission, Colombo. Later he was offered British Citizenship. Balasingham’s wife Adela lives in London is yet a LTTE as well as the female suicide unit leader.

    2). 1984 August Tamil Country’s (Tamil Nadu) capital Madras (Minambakkam) airport’s bomb was planned to aiming a blast at Colombo airport and to explode Air Lanka flight UL 122 at the tarmac and destroyed another two outbound Air Lanka planes with passengers. Due to delay Air Lanka flight UL-122 at Madras airport it misfired and 27 Sri Lanka bound passengers and 7 Airport staff died. If the original plan worked at least 200-300 humans get killed. Three main suspects were Tamil terrorists Kathiresan, Wigneswaraja and Thambirajah, escaped after bail from Tamil Country and later given political asylum in UK?

    3). 1986 May 3 Air Lanka flight 512 schedules to Maldives a bomb planted by tamil tiger terrorists and killed 21 passengers and wounded 41 at the Colombo Airport. Actual plan was to explode the bomb over the Indian Ocean with nearly 150 passengers much similar to Lockerbie style.

    I just mentioned only three crystals clear examples to understand the British and Europeans hypocrisy. How much protest they made for Lockerbie Air Bomb. Have they at least issued a statement against these terror acts in Sri Lanka?
    There are even 100 or more similar examples. Suspects of Air Ceylon’s Trident Aircraft bomb blast in 1978, Telecom bomb, Central Bank blast, Maradana bomb; Petah bomb, Yaldevi Train bomb, Dollar farm Killers, Kent farm killers and several other killers of LTTE terrorists are peacefully live either in UK, Norway, EEC, Canada, USA or Australia.

    I agree with you MUDali
    USA, UK and Anglo Colonies (Australia, Canada, New Zealand), Norway and Vatican are always on the same agenda throughout since 2nd European inter-state mass killings (1936-45).
    CIA and MI6 plan together. Their media mafia Reuters, BBC and Murdock’s news empire justify the plan. Norway the CIA’s cats paw offers Nobel bait to good boys and girls of western. (Ex: Nelson Mandela, Bishop Desmond Tutu, Aung San Suu kyi, Lech Walesa, Dalai Lama, Xanana Gusmao). Then the Vatican’s loyal Catholic bishops and bourgeois compradors make the background in locally. (Ex: Poland in 1990’s to topple the socialist system, South Korea’s war, South Vietnam’s war, Chile and most Latin America’s coups, The Philippines, Myanmar, Africa and Sri Lanka)
    It is high time Sinhalese and Tamils to understand this western threat against both of us. They divide us and make enemies for their Christian expansionism hidden agenda. End result of this war is either to kill a Sinhalese or a Tamil.

    Hi, you are welcomed to moderate my comments as appropriate. It is frustrating to see Aussie newspapers publishing strongly LTTE flavoured articles.

    Adale Balasingam is an Australian. She ran the torture camps for Tamil females in Jaffna after the IPKF left. Thousands of women and young girls were raped, tortred, and killed in those camps. The victims were the mothers, sisters, daughters and relatives of the TAMIL groups who opposed the LTTE.

    When Janaka Perera chased out LTTE from Jaffna, only few OLD women were alive to tell the horror stories of Adale Balasingam.

    I am still wondering how Balasingam couple got safe passage through Katunayake everytime!

    Further Balasingam’s real name was ANTON STANISLAUS. He added BALASINGAM to create a flavor of TAMIL while he was working for MI-5 in UK. He started his life as a writter in VIRAKESARI Tamil daily in Colombo!

    Vatican publicly acknowledged its cooperation with CIA which was headed by Bush Sr. Vatican never ever take any action against the Catholic Bishops and Clergies who partnered with LTTE terrorists but Vatican fired all the Catholic clergies who supported the SANDINISTA in Nicaragua.

    When Douglas Devananda (now he is the minister of Social Services) arrested two CIA operatives in Chavakacheri India asked the release of that ALLEN couple. When the American CIA couple were released, the Jaffna Bishop gave them a welcome and fat dinner at his Bishop house. The couples photo later appeared on the front page of TIME MAGAZINE while they were having dinner with Ronald Reagan!

    When a RAW official UNNI KRISHNAN was arrested and jailed for working as CIA’s mole. But this Unnikrishnan was in-charge for the Tamil groups in Madras and he sent day today reports to J.R.Jayawarene. Indian RAW is the biggest intelligence organization ifested with CIA agents.

    Catholic/Christian Churches have thir own plan to destroy Hinduism and Buddhism in Sri lanka. But they always ally with the WEST backed terrorists also!

    LTTE and JVP did not kill any Catholic Clergy. But they killed Hindu priests and Buddhist monks.

    Dear MUDali

    Balasingham couple escaped from SL not through Colombo Airport. It was another Norwegian operation during Chandrika’s era. With her knowledge Norwegians smuggled (without immigration permission) them. Susai’s gang took them to a Norwegian ship that anchored off SL Sea then they went to Bangkok from BKK to London by Air.

    “Anton Balasingham said that when he fell ill in the Vanni with kidney failure, President Chandrika had been approached by Britain, Norway and the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) to allow his transport abroad for treatment.

    “Then the LTTE told me not to worry, that they would take care of my transport requirements,” he said, “I was brought out by LTTE boat and ship.” Anton Balasingham on London Heroes Day 27/11.1999

    Even in 2002 March he came to Sri Lanka with the help of Norwegians Ref: “ Frontline” issue 8, April 13-26’2002
    “AT 10-38 a.m. on March 25 2002 a De Havilland DHC-6 Twin Otter seaplane landed at the irrigation reservoir at Iranaimadhu in Kilinochchi district. The seaplane was carrying the Balasingham couple, two Canadian pilots and the First Secretary of the Norwegian embassy in Colombo, Tomas Strangland. The seaplane had started from the Maldivian capital Male.
    The Balasinghams left London on Friday, March 22, for Dubai, accompanied by three Norwegian officials including special peace envoy Erik Solheim. The Balasingham couple and the Norwegian officials later travelled to the Maldives. Norwegian Ambassador Jon Westborg and First Secretary Strangland went to Male on March 24 to meet Balasingham. Solheim, who reached Colombo on March 24, also accompanied them. Prior to their departure, Westborg and Solheim met Prime Minister Wickremasinghe.
    On arrival at Iranaimadhu, the British passport of Anton Balasingham and the Australian passport of Adele Balasingham were stamped formally by Strangland.”
