The Easter Attacks, Mossad’s Foot Prints and Britain’s Keenie Meenie Mercenaries in Sri Lanka’s Eastern Province, and Ill Winds across the Indian Ocean

Leaders of the Catholic Church in Sri Lanka have called again for a new investigation into the Easter attacks staged six years ago. Meanwhile, a local political blame-game, starring Pillayan, to conceal the foreign finger prints and geopolitical motives of the attacks has ramped up.

The Easter suicide attacks claimed by the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), which had no previous history in Buddhist and Hindu majority Sri Lanka, were a complex multi-sited logistics operation that was clearly remote controlled and coordinated. Mysteriously, the Islamist bombers targeted fellow minority Christians, rather than the Buddhist majority in the country despite claims that some nationalist Buddhist groups had harassed Muslims.

The attacks were designed by the Mastermind to target both the Economy and Society of the geostrategic island at the center of the Indian Ocean that sits on some of the most important energy, trade and Submarine or Undersea Data Cable (UDC), Routes in the world.  This by Weaponizing Religion/s

Subsequent, cover up investigations and copious Disinformation in the corporate and social media echo chamber, as well as, from national security think tanks, captured by foreign funders and experts have all but buried the external interests evident in the design and targets of the Islamic State (ISIS), claimed Easter crime that killed hundreds at Easter in 2019.

Earlier this year a smokescreen ‘investigation’ headed by the redoubtable sleuth Shani Aberysekere, of the Criminal Investigation Division was launched. This, seemingly to quiet Church leaders and public outcry that justice be served for the victims; and the Mastermind (Mahamolakaru), revealed. The Cover story about Pillayan once again masked the role of foreign intelligence agencies, both in the Easter crime and subsequent investigations. 

Yet despite and perhaps because of endless disinformation by local and foreign intelligence networks, such as the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) which removed the cell phones of the Easter suicide bombers, the Mastermind’s networks have become increasingly visible. This, given new information and geopolitical developments in the Indian Ocean region.

ISIS targets a Chinese Research Vessel: Local-Global Networks

The Suicide bombers targeted a curious mix of four sea-side luxury hotels and three churches, signifying a hybrid attack on the tourism-dependent economy. Simultaneously, religion was weaponized to stage a distracting Cascade of violence”. Both the west and east coast of the country were hit in an operation calculated to conceal other Geopolitical targets.

Four Chinese marine scientists who were part of a research program with Sri Lanka’s National Aquatic Research Agency (NARA) were killed in the attacks at Kingsbury Hotel which overlooks South Asia’s busiest Port on Easter Sunday, 2019.

Remarkably the religiously motivated ISIS-inspired Easter bombers had targeted a Chinese Marine research mission whose ship the Shi Yan-3, was berthed in the Colombo Port, as well as, Chinese owned Shangri La hotel. Indeed, the lead suicide bomber Zaharan exploded his bomb at Shangi La Hotel, along with another bomber, and NOT at any religious establishment.

War religion used as a smoke screen, a false flag, by the Mastermind of the Easter carnage to distract from its Geopolitical Motives and Message?

Both the US and lately India had expressed grave concern about any Chinese research ships that may visit the island. As more than 8 foreign intelligence agencies, including Australia’s ASIO and India’s RAW arrived in the country to investigate the Easter crime, it was revealed that while both India and Saudi Arabia had advance information about the attacks, only the Indian authorities had shared the information with the Sri Lankan authorities.

Wisdom of Hindsight: New Geopolitical Economic Developments

New developments, such as the statement of the nominee for the post of US Ambassador to Sri Lanka, Elizabeth K. Horst, at Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearings last year throw light on the geopolitical dimensions and international networks behind the Easter attacks in Sri Lanka. 

Speaking of Chinese marine research vessels Horst had stated: we have huge concerns and have asked for a moratorium. We think it is in Sri Lanka’s best interests”. After the Easter attack that killed the Chinese scientists, the research mission was aborted and the Shi-Yan 3 ship left the Colombo Port to return to China.

Was it an accident, coincidence or conspiracy that ISIS inspired suicide bombers killed four Chinese scientists and aborted a research mission, given US concerns about Chinese research vessels in the Seas of Sri Lanka? This happened just as a new hybrid economic Cold War led by the United States ramped up across the Indian Ocean targeting Chinese assets and the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) for global connectivity.

Geopolitical economic developments in Sri Lanka also throw retrospective light on the hybrid Easter crime.

The 2019 ISIS-claimed Easter attacks were a body blow to Sri Lanka’s tourism-dependent economy. This was followed by two years of Covid-19 Lockdowns in 2020-21. These Exogenous Economic Shocks to Make the Economy Scream” set the groundwork to stage Sri Lanka’s first ever Sovereign Default amid Lawfare by the shadowy off-shore Hamilton Reserve Bank in 2022, precipitated Sri Lanka into the waiting arms of the Washington Twins (IMF and World Bank). At this time, the Eurobond debt neocolonized country has lost economic sovereignty and policy autonomy to the IMF and bond holders of Odious debt, the largest being BlackRock.

From ISIS to I2U2: Mossad’s Foot Prints in the Eastern Province

Other geopolitical developments such as the emergence of the I2U2, comprising India, Israel, United Arab Emirates (UAE) and United States, also known as the QUAD targeting China in the highly militarized western Indian Ocean are relevant to understand how religion was weaponized at Easter Sunday 2019.

There is a long history of Israel’s Mossad operating in the Eastern Province of Sri Lanka where the lead Suicide Bomber hailed from and the mysterious Zion Church mushroomed.

Mossad and British SAS officers of Keenie Meenie KMS mercenaries arrived in the early 80s in Sri Lanka on the invitation of the Washington-backed J.R Jayawardena regime purportedly to help train Sri Lanka forces fight the Liberation Tigers (LTTE). The LTTE was backed by India, then closely allied to the Communist Block/Soviet Union/ Russia.

What unfolded then was a Cold War Proxy War between western allies keen to establish a military base near the strategic deep sea Trinocomalee harbour. This Cold War proxy war in Sri Lanka was glossed and masked as an internal ‘ethnic conflict’” in the geostrategic island amid population resettlement and social engineering under the Mahaweli Development Scheme.

July 1983: Onset of Cold War Proxy War in Sri Lanka

While India’s Role in the Cold War proxy war which structured conflict in in Sri Lanka is relatively well known the role of Western allies and their intelligence agencies and covert operation has remains relatively hidden.

After the staging of the July 1983 Pogrom/riots, camps for Mossad and KMS mercenaries to train Special Forces were set up in the Eastern Province while the Mahaweli scheme was ongoing.  Israeli Agricultural ‘experts’ entered Sri Lanka while Mossad’s training of Special paramilitary groups were under Ravi Jayawardena and later when the Indian Peace Keeping Forces (IPKF) occupied the northeast of Sri Lanka in 1987, these moved south including to Batalanda under the purview of Ranil Wickramasinghe, nephew of JR. Jayawardena.

Batalandaa has been in the media after the Al Jazeera interview with ex-President Ranil Wickramasinghe who was implicated in the Batalanda Commission Report. However, ‘Operation Colombo’ in Santiago de Chile which resonates with the Dirty war Disinformation remains unknown in Sri Lanka.

Some of the Special Forces and paramilitary groups trained by Mossad and British Special Air Service (SAS) officers of the Keenie Meenie (KMS) mercenaries in the Eastern Province in the mid-1980s were later implicated in war crimes and in the Batalanda terror and torture house networks and disappearances by Paramilitaries. South American Dirty War style killings and disappearances happened in Southern Sri Lanka in 1988-1990 after the STF moved south following the Indian Peace Keeping Forces (IPKF), moving into the northeast in August 1987.

Weaponizing Religion? Zionist Christians, Muslims and Chabad Houses in Sri Lanka

The staging of the Kattankudi mosque massacre and subsequent inter- and intra-community violence let to the LTTE expelling Muslims who were increasingly perceived as a ‘security threat’ from Jaffna in 1990. The same playbook had been used in Palestine to divide and colonize the various ethno-religious communities (Muslims, Christians), there in the guise of counter-terrorism.

Mossad has a great deal of Cold War expertise and experience weaponizing Islam in Palestine and other multi-religious countries, in partnership with Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, etc which have huge US military base.  Indeed, the Arab Muslim dominated Middel East and North Africa Region is the most violent region on the planet because of the link to Zionist Christian networks and the US-led NATO military business industrial complex. Indeed, Muslims have been used as its Cat’s paw and handmaiden with the Wahabi-Salfi- Islamist-ISIS global terror project.

Mossad trained and worked with Sri Lanka counter-terrorism” special forces, subsequently the Special Task Force (STF) to target and sunder long standing ties and trust between Muslims and Tamils in the Eastern Province

The UAE and India are now set to build a Liquid Natural Gas power plant in strategic Trincomallee Harbor according to a MOU inked between Sri Lanka President Anura Dissanayaka and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi during the latter’s recent visit to Sri Lanka.

Does I2U2 signal another vicious Arab Muslim-Zionist partnership for the New World Order across the multi-religious Indian Ocean world, or the onset of evangelical Christianity’s (a.ka. Christian Zionist), biblical ‘End Times’ for Palestine? Are these the same thing—now that the Saudis have graduated to being peace brokers” with the US war on Yemen ramping up, ironically after running the Wahabi-Salafi-Islamist/ ISIS weaponizaiton of religion project across the MENA and the Indian Ocean World for decades?

While I2U2 is said to be about economic corporation and soft power, it is also about normalizing the Abraham Accords and ethnic cleansing Gaza. In the context, the question arises at this time: Is India taking Sri Lanka for a ride with various defense agreements and energy MOUs, while being also taken for a Petrodollar fueled ride by the U2 (UAE and USA), as Zionists and Arab Muslims (Israel and UAE) become proxy partners in weaponizing religion/s, staging Clashes of Civilizations and other crimes across the Indian Ocean world and Afghanistan?

Moreover, recently Zionist Chabad houses have popped up in Arugam Bay, where the US Ambassador Julie Chung predicted a terror attack last year and issued travel warnings—to again crash Sri Lanka’s tourist dependent economy.

Revisiting the Evidence: Foreign Penetration of Investigative Agencies and Justice System

In the context of the clear geopolitical dimensions of the Easter attack, would it not be appropriate for the redoubtable Mr. Shani Abersekere to invite the former Attorney General Mr. Dappula De Livera who stated that there was a Conspiracy behind the Easter attacks? De Livera was harassed by the previous regime for saying so, but perhaps he should be given a chance to reveal what he had gleaned during his investigations.

So too, it would be appropriate to summon then head of the Institute for National Security Studies (INSSSL), Asanga Abeygoonesekere, who clearly told this writer that several foreign experts from Germany and Bangladesh had informed him that a leader of such a group as Zaharan’s National Thawheed Jamat would never kill himself in the first operation. In other words, the conspirators and mastermind were at large and did not die in Suicide attack despite FBI claims to the contrary.

A related question is: Do Petrodollars and/or Political Correctness play a role in the impunity and immunity of promiscuous Muslim Politicians like MLAM Hizbullah of Kattankudi, in the Eastern Province, where the lead bomber Zaharan hailed from? Hizbullah who was building a Sharia University had passed Saudi fund to Zaharan, and switched sides among all major political parties during his political career. Apprehending the no doubt dubious Tamil Pillayan instead of Hizbullah seems like a decoy especially since many of the bombers were Muslims from Kattankudy.

It is increasingly clear that the greater the penetration of national institutions by Western intelligence, security agencies, aid and experts, the greater the crises and never ending investigations. The US backed, (neo) liberal democracy of J.R. Jayawardena  (JR was nick named Yankie Dickie), saw the worst violence in Sri Lanka’s post-independence history, instrumentalizing and weaponizing linguistic and religious identity politics.. There were simultaneous Dirty wars ongoing when Mossad, British mercenaries and the Indian Peace Keeping Forces were in the north and south 1987-1993. While India’s Role in Sri Lanka’s conflict is relatively well known the role of Western allies remains hidden. The ISIS attacks were staged when Ranil Wickramasinghe was Prime Minisery.

Finally, the Pillayan story sold in lieu of the long promised genuine investigation into the Easter crime seems to have let the new President Anura Dissanayaka who appointed Shani Abeysekera to the top investigator job off the hook. Shani was parachuted in from retirement despite many questions about the adequacy of investigations conducted by the Criminal Investigation Department which he headed. So too, there are new questions as to how and why Mossad-linked, Zionist Chabad houses have mushroomed across the country and enjoy Sri Lanka military and the President’s protection at this time?
