Some others asked why should the rich countries of the West be interested in this small country like Sri Lanka, while some thought there is some sense in what is said, and was willing to listen to credible details.<\/p>\n<p>In order to understand the reality of the issue\u00a0 we have to go to the 16th Century\u00a0 when Sri Lanka came to be Colonised first by the Portughese, then by the Dutch and finally by the British in 1815. India was also a \u00a0British Colony. India was composed of several Kingdoms, therefore when India was colonised by the English, the\u00a0 British \u00a0King (or Queen) became the\u00a0 Emperor of India.\u00a0 The English Colonised many countries in Asia, Africa and so on.\u00a0 The English ruled the Colonies and claimed ownership to every thing in the colonised country- every thing that was on the ground and minerals inside the ground.<\/p>\n<p>Besides that the colonial rulers claimed ownership to the wealth of \u00a0gold, silver,bronze or copper archeological artefacts, ancient \u00a0jewellery and valuable precious stones.\u00a0 Every thing of value was taken away and used as they pleased enhancing their wealth .\u00a0 They did that with all colonies.\u00a0 Thus India as well \u00a0lost many of its riches to the British Colonial rulers.<\/p>\n<p>It was the same with all those Western Nations like Spain, Portugal, France, Belgium, or Africaners who colonised countries. USA also adventured out into newly discovered countries \u00a0and Colonies to buy their riches, make archeological excavations or\u00a0 allowed American companies to open \u00a0fruit, and\u00a0 sugar cane plantations, and various other enterprises to give a pittance of their earnings to the country and enriching themselves vastly from the profits.<\/p>\n<p>This is how the West became rich and declared themselves the world leaders ensuring White Supremacy. The Colonial rulers were getting rich from what they plundered\u201d from the colonies and allowing the natives to live their old lives with\u00a0 little improvements from financial stipends paid to them by the white rulers as wages for working for their plantations, for building roads and maintaining them, while others some of whom were converted to Christianity were given better employment.<\/p>\n<p>In 1917 there was the \u00a0Russian\u00a0 revolution \u00a0where they set up a \u00a0government of the people-the working class.\u00a0 This encouraged some of the educated people in the Colonies to think in terms of seeking independence\u00a0 from colonial rule\u00a0 In Sri Lanka Baron Jayatilleke, D.S.Senanayake, T.B.Jayah, Sir Ponnambalam Ramanathan \u00a0were in the fore front of the Independence moment.\u00a0 To cut a long story short it was with the Independence of the Colonies that the Western colonialists began to feel that their wealth is doomed and that their leadership is at Stake. With India gaining Independence the British lost its Empire.<\/p>\n<p>The West cannot re-colonise the developing countries now Independent with gun and sward as they did before.\u00a0 The Independent countries not only have left their dependence on former colonial rulers but they also have built relations with other rich nations like Chine and Russia, which haven\u2019t\u00a0 the same political system of the West. Therefore the West turned to other means\u00a0 of colonisation by inventing \u00a0Regime Change\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Western Countries want to re-conquer their lost power over the former colonies.\u00a0 Because the present economic crisis the West is facing is due to the loss of their colonies which provided \u00a0them with the wealth and political leadership of the world. This is what the people of \u00a0Sri Lanka should be aware of\u00a0 in the midst of\u00a0 the present Presidential Election.<\/p>\n<p>Sri Lanka is a unique case where it has left its dependence on the West and turned to China and Russia which not only provide it with the necessary\u00a0 unconditional loans for its development projects, but also provides Sri Lanka with political security in the UN Security Council against the West that accuses Sri Lanka for violation of human rights in the elimination of\u00a0 terrorism in a just war,\u00a0 and threatens to take Sri Lanka before an International Tribunal accused for war crimes.<\/p>\n<p>Sri Lanka has, beyond the imagination of the West, gone far ahead with development projects and\u00a0 financial management which if emulated by the rest of the developing countries, the West will face un-surmountable economic problems.\u00a0 The West also introduced\u00a0 globalization \u2013a cultural imperialism\u201d in order to maintain its\u00a0 world leader ship by spreading\u00a0 the Western Culture world wide.<\/p>\n<p>Sri Lanka had withstood the West\u2019s continuous attempt to\u00a0 stop its dependence on China for its development . Therefore a regime change in Sri Lanka at this time would help the West in using the strategic position of\u00a0 Sri Lanka \u00a0to stop the spreading of the Influence of China and Russia to other countries in the region, this would fulfil \u00a0their ambition to continue with the white supremacy of the world.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Therefore the Presidential election in Sri Lanka today is not a\u00a0 battle\u00a0 between the President Mahinda Rajapakse and\u00a0 Maitripala \u00a0Sirisena, but a battle against President Mahinda Rajapakse, by\u00a0 the West which is \u00a0determined for a\u00a0 Regime Change in Sri Lanka.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong>The West is using two of its accredited Agents to play a major role to oust the President Mahinda Rajapakse and bring in a puppet as the President\u00a0 to further its end without resorting to use the NATO Forces as it did in Libiya.<\/p>\n<p>The accredited Agents of the West playing the principle role in the West\u2019s attempt to change regime in Sri Lanka are:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ranil Wickramasinghe the leader of the UNP who is a member of\u00a0 the Mont Pelerin Society.\u00a0 It is  a Society filled with certified state-interventionists,\u201d (Ludwig von Mises) It has been credited as being one of the key groups\u00a0 that succeeded in moving the world away from Socialism.
