Sri Lanka has a major problem in the current global crisis.

It is evident that AKD is bedding with the USA and is doing exactly what USA wants him to do; he is out of step with most of the Sri Lankans.

It matters not to AKD that men, women, and children are being slaughtered like animals on the streets when he says Sri Lanka is a neutral country; he is uttering exactly what the USA would like him to utter.

The USA is coercing countries to adopt a policy of ‘Neutrality; the USA can then operate as if there is no opposition in the world to the terrible atrocities being committed by them; in Sri Lanka, Milinda Moragoda is an agent of the USA, attempting to silence the people against USA atrocities in the middle East.

It is obviously preferable for the USA to not have any criticisms against it than have a principled stand taken against its abominations; non-alignment is about, not being aligned to any power bloc but about determining on issues based on a value system of morality and the rule of law.

What is the special threat Sri Lanka faces in the current geo-political scenario?

It is possible that the US may take advantage of the unstable global situation and using a ruse occupy the country.   

In a war, every theatre of war has a forward HQ and a rear HQ. The rear HQ is used for re-arming, re-fueling, and executing quick repairs for fast turnarounds during a campaign.

Diego Garcia is the rear HQ for US CENTCOM theatre of operations in the Middle East.

Subic Bay was the forward HQ of the US Pacific command. In 2018, that command was expanded to include the Indian Ocean and renamed the US Indo-Pacific command, a move that took place after Sri Lanka’s war against the Tamil Terrorist and, after the USA, India and China – unknown to Sri Lankan – had come to an agreement on the future of Sri Lanka.

What is the rear HQ of the US Indo-Pacific command?

If the war – front is in China sea, Sri Lanka will be the rear HQ; if the front is in the Indian Ocean, Subic Bay would be the rear HQ. It depends on the adversary the USA decides to engage with, first.

The USA move to expand the pacific command, after the three-country agreement, caught India on the hop.

For 30 years, the USA funded and hoisted the Tamil terrorists on Sri Lanka, to obtain Sri Lanka, solely for itself; the USA were so sure that their terrorists would be successful, they hinged their foreign policy, in the region, on the success of the terrorists.

In 2009 Sri Lanka decimated USA’s proxy- terrorists and the USA suddenly found itself without a stable foreign Policy in the region.

This resulted in the USA scrambling a bipartisan congressional team to Sri Lanka in 2009, to do damage control; the result was the Kerry team which produced a strategic report, captioned ‘US foreign policy after (Sri Lanka’s) the war’.

It was initiated under Obama’s watch; one of the key points in that report was the understanding that USA cannot have the Island solely for itself; they are compelled to share it with India and China.

The USA immediately initiated talks with India and China on ‘How to divide Sri Lanka among themselves, each having their agreed portion’.

Obama’s team was led by Clinton H and Timothy Geithner. From 2009 to 2012, these two had grueling talks at the highest level, conferring with Manmohan Singh and Hu Jintao.

In November 2012 Clinton H announced to the world the success of the talks; she famously pronounced to the world that China is no longer our enemy”.

From the several subversive organizations created by the USA, Clinton H chose the ‘Millenium Challenge Corporation’ to execute the subversive plan.  

Were Sri Lankans aware that their country was being dismantled, behind their backs, to be divided between USA, India, and China? Except for a few who were involved in helping with the plan, the others were not.  

Some of those involved in the treacherous plan were Ranawaka, Ranil, Jayantha Jayasuriya – the AG at that time – who later became Chief Justice and is presently in New York as Sri Lanka’s representative in the UN.   

The US plan that divided the country between the USA, India, and China, was published as ‘Sri Lanka’s vision for itself in 2050’ by Sri Lanka’s government in 2019 and was gazetted on 12 June 2019 (vide extraordinary gazette 2127/15 2019-06-12  National Physical Planning Department – Gazetting of the Updated National Physical Planning Policy and the Plan 2050 Approved by the National Physical Planning Council).

And what does that gazette have? The USA plan, put out by Millennium Challenge Corporation, and published as Sri Lanka’s vision for itself in 2050. And what is that, Vision?

The Sri Lanka, as known to the world, will not exist after 2050.

Successive governments have come and gone but the gazette remains intact.

President AKD has an opportunity to save the country, himself and create an eternal niche for himself in Sri Lanka’s history by unilaterally annulling the hara-kiri gazette and annulling the ACSA, SOFA, MCC and the Montana agreements.

The Sri Lankan people and the future generations will be eternally grateful to Anura Dissanayake for saving Mother Lanka. He will be hailed by all, from all walks of life, as the father of the Nation.
