US, UK, Canada & EU as well as UN stand guilty of helping regime change in Sri Lanka. There is no two words about that. Their statements are clear giveaways. They brought to power a bunch of puppets, gave them a carte blanche to steal and drain the nation dry so long as these powerful […]

Some people are destined to be leaders some are just destined to be unceremoniously ousted and repeatedly too. The fate of Ranil Wickremasinghe falls into this category. He lost his job while overseas in 2004 and then lost his job by letter while in Galle in 2018. Mahinda Rajapakse to the obvious shock of the […]

It is more than clear that the Eelam project has been not simply a Tamil project but one that has been used by not just one foreign government for their own geopolitical agendas.

Prof. Channa Jayasumana has made a startling revelation & one that will add to the already increasing embarrassments the UNHRC is facing.

It is a perfect time for Tamils in particular the non-LTTE supporting ones to wonder how much LTTE has been making using Tamils as an excuse. It is also a good time for Tamils to wonder how far Tamil politicians have delivered, also using Tamils as an excuse. LTTE & Tamil separatism have thrived for […]

Several clarifications need to be made. There is a concerted & subtle effort to place a national army on par with a terrorist movement, while at the same time demanding war crimes tribunals only for the SL Armed Forces?

We are a little puzzled at the manner the UN & the so called international community are handling post-LTTE defeat Sri Lanka. Whatever LTTE is now being presented as, what no one can ignore is the fact that the men, women & children that comprised the LTTE were nothing but cold-blooded murderers. No one forced […]

There is a big question mark as to the eligibility of the government that was appointed in 2015 immediately after the election of a President by a Presidential election.

Never before has Ranil’s political acumen been put to the wire. For 22 plus years he has managed to bluff his way riding on the West’s media campaign strategists that have backed him throughout & projected him as a Mr. Visionary, a façade easily sold to a gullible green vote base. This has enabled him […]
