It is rather distressing as a Sri Lankan to even think that a man from the rural hinterland has agreed to lead a Western sponsored Coup d\u2019\u00e9tat. But his ignorance of world events and the machinations of hegemonic powers in a struggle for supremacy in the modern world after the collapse of Berlin Wall and the resurgence of China, contesting the world leadership in the foreign relations area, will not sink into the limited capacity of Mr Sirisena’s brain, impervious to intelligence. I cannot recall the name of the author but he wrote in the Lanka Web that ‘a finger can be pointed at us for being speculative, but given the record of USAID, when the Harvard award for Health Leadership was given to Maithripala Sirisena, and given what is happening today including the ‘bribe plus cross over’ attempts of members of parliament etc., it can safely be said that what meets the eye is but a tip of the iceberg in the well planned effort to use the ambitious Sirisena to engineer regime change in Sri Lanka for the sinister purposes of ‘Empire.’\u00a0Are we being subjected to an orchestrated disguised colour revolution to bring-in ‘real democracy, good governance and liberalism’ of the West at the expense of all that was achieved by our gallant forces?<\/span><\/p>\n

If the sponsored coup d\u2019\u00e9tat is successful or even unsuccessful for that matter the country is facing a stormy time and the consequences are many even if Mr Rajapakse wins the contest.\u00a0 There are umpteen examples in the events in the world today and it is not just my imagination running riot. I feel sad that the JHU, which we depended for argumentative politics, not votes, has seen fit to resolve their grievance, perhaps genuine, by joining a truly dangerous group. The country knows the statesman and unpatriotic features in the CBK-RW duo but the price we have to pay for their secret Machiavellian strategy will definitely dent the territorial integrity and more than that, peace and tranquillity after a thirty year war. Especially tragic that when a common Sri Lankan identity is being forged replacing linguistic or religious chauvinism, which the TNA, SLMC and the Diaspora, are dangling. It is a shame if the intelligent people of the country let this happen by throwing out Mr Rajapakse, just for the unfounded allegations of corruption or the family bandyism, which should be handled differently, if true. The venerables Sobithas and Rathanas of this world are genuinely under informed about how powerful world powers control local agenda\u2019s in small countries because geo politics of the world have a lot at stake even in places like Sri Lanka. Sadly, I must mention that the President is tarnished for the doings of some under educated underlings around him and he is guilty of inaction. But those who are really concerned about the integrity of the nation must tell the President after the victory to clean his stables, lest we forget.<\/span><\/p>\n

I am sure that the regime change revolution planned for the 8 th of January, proposed by the West and seconded by Ranil and CBK is a replication of the other colour revolutions handled by neo con elements in recent times. We will be a copycat version of the orange (Ukraine), Georgia (rose), Serbia, Iraq (purple), Lebanon in 2005(Cedar) and Egypt (Arab spring) in 2012. These revolutions were done in the name of a number of things. Greater democracy, democracy from below, people power as in Gandhi’s Satyagraha, removing incumbent presidents by other means than elections, using smart power, advocated by Hillary Clinton. All this has one common feature, which is hidden, and that is the removal of leaders who are not sympathetic to the West by the manipulation of norms and values that citizens in the respective countries believe in. After the cold war the use of military power in the world as US thought fit cannot happen anymore and the use of smart power is the softer version. The propaganda through the illegitimate use of media and modern technology is the supreme modus operandi of the color revolution and these revolutions are nothing but disguised coup d’ etat. We are in the middle of a stormy revolution and for sure if successful CBK will give it her favourite name, Sudu Nelum, to a thousand thorny pricks to the body politic.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0Let us analyse the start and the desired goal of this gravy train defined revolution. It is no secret that the west is unhappy and will not be happy as long as Sri Lanka is linked with China. The LTTE is not the cause and will never be. It is only a weapon, which is easily available at the moment that can be manipulated.\u00a0 Local agents such as RW and CBK are an integral part of the plan for it needs indigenous elites, if you call Chandrika an elite. The allegations to vilify the leaders are corruption and nepotism, which are anathema to the local culture. These must be magnified by multiplying numbers to present an imminent collapse of the economy. The NGO sector is used to camouflage grass root support but foreign funded NGO’s are never rooted in real civil society. The NGO\u2019s will define democracy in terms of their own conceptions outside of elections. Signs of a wave (raella) will be on the Face Book to kindle a kind of revolutionary fervour to dupe the rural voters. These tactics are now in play in Sri Lanka and these were the very same tactics of every revolution. There will be plenty of money circulating in the hands of locals who worship foreign deities, with no holds barred.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0Election fraud will be highlighted on the eve of the election to carry on the revolution even after a victory of the incumbent. As the JVP has stated the colour revolution will be on to the streets after the departure of the Pope from our shores and then the Egyptian script is activated as part of the plan. A neocon observer wrote recently in the Voltaire blog that the United States had planned the revolution in Egypt for some time but was hopeful that it may happen at the death of their ally Hosni Mubarek. Consequently, they were standing ready to step in. As demonstrations erupted in \u00a0Tahi’r square, Cairo, Washington apparently detached a team from one of their think tanks, the Einstein Institute. A manual, already used in other countries, was translated into Arabic and disseminated to shepherd demonstrators ttrough the Facebook and Twitter services set up by the State Department and the CIA. The same pattern was seen in the orange revolutions in Ukraine, Georgia, Syria, Libya and other places where the Americans engineered regime change. In some of the countries regimes did change but living conditions worsened (Ukraine, Georgia) and in others as in Libya and Iraq the countries virtually imploded. Those who engineered change made a quick exit and are no more and people have died by the millions. The western press has suddenly gone silent. This appears to be the game plan for regime change in Sri Lanka. If our reasoning is right and if the available information is correct the exercise planned by neo conservatives at the request of CBK and RW is being played according to the script. We will have to brave ourselves for a turbulent time. Cannot believe that we are that stupid a nation and particularly the Sinhalese!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
