India\u2019s Research & Analysis Wing (RAW) \u2018spy chief\u2019 Samant Kumar Goel slunk into Colombo to further grab strategic sectors (fuel, ports, etc) and regions (Trincomalee, Mannar, Hill Country, etc) to divide the country. His arrival accounts for the rather muted LTTE Maaveerar Naal or Great Heroes Day on 27 November (see Random Notes<\/em><\/strong>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  India-allied MPs and media then raised greater clamour blaming China for the delay in the IMF\u2019s gifts. Their IMF demand amounts to continuing the colonial import-export plantation economy. Warlord-backed Trinitian TNA MP Shanakiyan Rasamanickam is reported as calling for \u2018Go Home China\u2019 demonstrations, just like US-funded NGOs are now doing in Thailand, Malaysia, etc. (see ee Focus<\/em><\/strong>, Are China and Russia Imperialist?)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 The US government also summoned Foreign Minister Ali Sabry<\/strong> to Washington for a 3-day visit on November 30, just after \u2018dual citizen\u2019 Basil Rajapakse returned from the USA. Sabry met with US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken<\/strong>, also meeting US Senate Foreign Relations Committee<\/strong> members (see ee Sovereignty<\/em><\/strong>, Minister Sabry meets).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  \u2018The US has been one of the prime movers of the resolution against Sri Lanka at the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva. In this backdrop, diplomatic sources say Washington would try to persuade Sri Lanka to heed the provisions of the resolution. Moreover, a UNHRC Secretariat is now probing allegations against political leaders in SL for alleged human rights violations and \u2018economic crimes\u2019.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 US-state news outlet EconomyNext<\/em><\/strong> reports, \u2018India sends RAW chief after lending $500mn loan\u2019. The media downplayed the Indian government\u2019s \u2018commercial interactions\u2019, their economic and political demands, and instead barked out the usual anti-China rhetoric. RAW\u2019s \u2018Goel comes amid indirect efforts by Wickremesinghe to meet Indian PM Narendra Modi since last month, sources said\u2026 Officials at Sri Lanka\u2019s Foreign Ministry said they did not facilitate RAW chief\u2019s visit\u2026, while the cabinet spokesman swore: \u2019I swear that I don\u2019t know such an intelligence chief met the president or any other government official.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  The RAW chief also met finance minister <\/em><\/strong>& strategist of the SLPP Basil Rajapaksa\u2026 I think the message is related to the upcoming election\u2019\u2026 Former president Mahinda Rajapaksa himself in 2015 said it was India and RAW who defeated him. So the RAW chief\u2019s visit could be something more than what we hear. How can India order a sovereign nation on how and whom to deal with?\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

   \u2018China has also started funding underprivileged universality students in Jaffna and Eastern Universities. This has also drawn Indian concerns, university sources have told EconomyNext<\/em>. Jaffna University Students\u2019 Union last week said they are opposed to a move by the government to sign a memorandum of understanding with a Chinese agricultural university.\u2019 (ee Sovereignty<\/em><\/strong>, RAW chief Samant Kumar Goel)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Former IMF & current CIA operator Anwar Ibrahim has been narrowly \u2018elected\u2019 PM of Malaysia. This recalls 2015 Sri Lanka\u2019s rigged Yahapalana election. The US chose Ibrahim as Chairman of the Development Committee of World Bank & International Monetary Fund (IMF) in 1998. He has been working with the US National Endowment for Democracy (NED) ever since. The US government through the NED has massively poured millions of dollars to Ibrahim\u2019s \u2018opposition party<\/strong>, a street front<\/strong> he has helped lead, and media networks<\/strong> promoting him across Malaysia\u2019s information space<\/strong>\u2019 (see ee Sovereignty<\/em><\/strong>, Malaysia\u2019s New Prime Minister).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 \u2018Politicians are known for smug moralising and fervent religiosity\u2019, editorializes the\u00a0Island<\/em>. But surely, there is no sickening sanctimony more than the \u2019Fair and Lovely\u2019 moneyed media, especially the English media. Politicians are an easy target, but this week more evidence arrived of the collusion between this even-more unaccountable and unelected media and those officials who work against the country\u2019s interests<\/p>\n\n\n\n
