STOP-the-Rot setting in!<\/p>\n

Wood-eating white Termites are prevalent in Sri Lanka, destroy homes.<\/p>\n

Over three decades of the LTTE Tamil Tiger Terrorism, ignored by successive Sri Lankan governments led by UNP & SLFP, it took One Man and his team to topple the megalomanic Velupillai Prabhakaran and his murderers.<\/p>\n

CBK & RW, also Ranasinghe Premadasa (whom I did support and fund his housing programme), failed miserably in their half-hearted attempts to prevent the slaughter of Sinhala men, women & children.<\/p>\n

Now the two cunning foxes CBK & RW using a Trojan Horse, managed to climb into the band wagon, now plan to set-in-motion a Sell-Out\u201d of Sri Lanka to USA-EU-India, and let the Tamil carve their Eelam out of Sinhala territory.<\/p>\n

Palk Straits Adams Bridge connecting Mannar-Rameswaran India is a No No.<\/p>\n

North & the East of Sri Lanka is part of the Unified Sovereign State of Sri Lanka, the Land of Sinhala.<\/p>\n

As a Democratic State, the Sri Lanka legislation offers equal opportunity to all Sri Lankans, irrespective of their Ethnicity, Caste, Creed or Political allegiance.<\/p>\n

I might add (with tongue-in-cheek) that Tamils have done far better in business and in public service than Sinhala, due to more brawn than brain of Tamil.<\/p>\n

However I see no great long term danger in another Tamil movement since, the upcoming Parliamentary Elections, given MR an opportunity, should straighten-up the curves & dents.<\/p>\n

As mentioned in my earlier articles, MR should extend a Cordial Welcome to General Sarath Fonseka, since under the present regime, Fonseka will have a formidable opposition from CBK-RW.<\/p>\n

MY3 should think more than twice now on his immediate strategy on the New Elevations, perhaps outside legal boundaries, and correct them before its too late.<\/p>\n

MR has a few damage limitation\u201d exercises to ponder. First of all, MR might consider taking a leaf out of the Chairman-Owner of Korean Airlines, whose daughter\u2019s acts on Peanuts, got her a prison sentence.<\/p>\n

To be fair, I do not think Namal Rajapaksa has done any unforgivable sins. Yes the rich son arrogance\u201d, similar to that of Dhambo Sirisena. A public statement by MR might go down well.<\/p>\n

The bottom line is that, In the absence of any other proven potential leader in Sri Lanka to continue on the Peace Path alleviating Poverty, MR comes on Top-of-the-Pile to STOP-the-Rot which is now gathering!<\/p>\n

An Excellent article, as usual, by HLD Mahindapala:<\/p>\n

https:\/\/www.lankaweb.com\/news\/items\/2015\/02\/20\/the-birth-and-rise-of-the-nugegoda-man\/<\/a><\/p>\n

Only three kinds of maneuvers can stop Mahinda Rajapakse:<\/p>\n

1.the legal maneuvers of the blundering government\u00a0 to debar him from contesting can hold him back, temporarily though; 2. Sirisena-CBK-Nimal Siripala de Silva get together to do a cut-throat kuth-thu and 3. CIA-style operation to harm\u00a0 him physically. All three points are possible. History might repeat itself. <\/p>\n

However, whoever instigates any one of those actions will be suicidal, to say the least.<\/p>\n

Such drastic, actions will be the beginning of the end of Sirisena-CBK-RW.<\/p>\n

Sri Lankan electorate is fully matured and such tactics, if promoted by Sirisena-CBK-RW supported by Indian RAW or American CIA, would back-fire, and will create a direct invitation to China-Russia-Pakistan to balance the act. Lets Hope that the Rot does not go that far!<\/p>\n

Whilst on this subject: An Important Consideration::::<\/p>\n

Do Not Let KP out of Sri Lanka!\u00a0 KP still has access to millions of dollars waiting to fund the LTTE Tamil Tiger Terrorism weapons.<\/p>\n

Ananda-USA:\u00a0 Cease and Desist\u201d – Typical American phrase used by fancy Legal Eagles, which goes down the loo with a flush.\u00a0 Your demands are Noted but Ignored.<\/p>\n

Get out of your USA ghetto and come down to earth.<\/p>\n

You may throw as many rotten tomatoes or eggs or even Dollar $$$ Bills at me. Could not careless. Enjoy yourself!<\/p>\n

Certainly I do read the content from the Gallery, and continue to stand by my opinions from the Podium.<\/p>\n

Interactive Civilized Dialogue & Controversy always creates Interest and more readership!\u00a0 This immediately proves that there are active lively participants, with their own opinions.<\/p>\n

And I thank you Ananda-USA for your efforts to enliven LankaWeb.<\/p>\n

Also I note that Lorenzo is also one of your targets for playing an active Role in Democratic Elections, using Social Media. I have no connection with Lorenzo but throwing public insults at him are ungentlemanly and uncouth.<\/p>\n

Incidentally, one of the McLean’s was a British Army officer in Ceylon, Colonel Gordon McLean, worked as a Tea Planter and later a Civil Engineer in Colombo.<\/p>\n
