The nation is in crisis and the people have woken up to the dangers that are staring them in the face. The Nation State of Sri Lanka is being remorselessly dismantled to be replaced by several apartheid States, based on ethnicity. <\/em><\/p>\n

With the swelling wave of discontent sweeping through the length and breadth of the country disillusioned UNPers are voting across party lines; they are urging others to follow suit and eschew voting for the UNP at this coming General Election; this is vital, they say, because of the brazenly anti Sri Lankan attitude of the present UNP leadership running diabolically counter to the National Security of the country; it is an attitude definitely not shared by the majority of the UNP supporters. <\/em><\/p>\n

The Janus \u2013 faced actions of a perfidious Ranil Wickramasinghe leadership have given rise to events – now beginning to surface – which give the lie to their previous denials that they pledged secretly to India and the US to take action which would perforce lead to the break up of the country, for a mere mess of pottage of coming into power.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0 The disenchanted say that to vote UNP or any one associated with them is, to endorse the break up of the Sri Lankan Nation State, to rubber stamp the creation of independent apartheid states within the island, to sacrifice Sri Lankan soldiers to American \u2018Ferguson\u2019 style justice by indicting them in \u2018hybrid\u2019 war crime tribunals, the creation of which has already been initiated by a controversial FGO (Foreign Government Organisation) \u00a0and to give WETOs (Western Extremists of Tamil Origin) dual citizenship, after the planned terrorist jamboree in Sri Lanka at year\u2019s end.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2018Hybrid\u2019 courts are a US manipulation of infiltrating the country\u2019s judicial system whereby Western handpicked foreign judges sit on the bench alongside Sri Lankan judges at Sri Lankan tribunals \u2018teaching\u2019 them to interpret International law.<\/em><\/p>\n

UNP grass rooters are entreating everyone to join the\u2019 Save Sri Lanka\u2019 movement by refraining from voting for anyone associated with the UNP and thereby not having to regret for 200 years the \u2018Indian \u2013American\u2019 \u00a0folly of 2015 like Sri Lankans yet do the \u2018British folly\u2019 of 1815.<\/em><\/p>\n

A Geo-Political Analysis of Sri Lanka 2015 \u2013 (Part 1)<\/u><\/span><\/h2>\n

by\u00a0Sarojini Dutt<\/em><\/span><\/h3>\n

Indian \u2013 American intelligence reported that 08 Jan 15 would provide the Indian \u2013 American axis a window of opportunity to dent the influence of China -Sri Lanka\u2019s trusted friend \u2013 in the island Nation and in the immediate region.<\/p>\n

Having unstintingly assisted Sri Lanka in her war against the US backed terrorists,\u00a0 China took on the magnanimous role of implementing a \u2018Marshal Plan\u2019 in the war ravaged island much to the chagrin of India (the regional power) and the US that has to now share the global stage with China in the newly shaped bi \u2013 polar world.<\/p>\n

The Indian US axis realised that if they could defeat Rajapakse at the Presidential Election on 08 Jan 15 they, the axis, could dent China\u2019s influence on the island and in the region. With this end in view the Indian \u2013 US axis having made it extravagantly attractive for some members of the contrived opposition invested all their resources to defeat Rajapakse by a narrow margin of 224536 voters or 1.83% of those who voted.<\/p>\n

Following the annihilation of the US backed terrorists at Nandikadal in May 2009 Sri Lanka\u2019s friendship with China grew exponentially warmer and stronger. Sri Lanka could never forget that it was China that did not hesitate to pull out all stops to unconditionally assist Sri Lanka in her hour of need in eradicating the curse of terrorism.<\/p>\n

When the Western countries slapped an unwarranted arms embargo on SL to stop SL\u2019s military offensive against the terrorists, it was China and a few other genuinely friendly countries that flew in the face of the embargo caring a rap about the global bully.<\/p>\n

The Western countries frustrated by their lack of success in forcing Sri Lanka to grovel at the feet of the terrorists then attempted, with the same objective in mind, to have military and economic sanctions imposed on the island nation through the UN Security Council; it was once again Sri Lanka\u2019s friend and ally, China, that stood tall and unbending, using its Veto power at the Security Council.<\/p>\n

Blocked at all turns to contrive a lasting victory for the terrorists the US then attempted in desperation in Feb 2009 at the height of the anti terrorist offensive to scrunch Sri Lanka by depriving her of a lifesaving USD 1.9 Billion loan from the IMF.<\/p>\n

With China standing solidly behind Sri Lanka that attempt too failed; the toxic currency of the US, soiled by a US sovereign debt of 19 trillion dollars eased by printing $4.5 trillion dollar notes, was no match to the solid Chinese Yuan.<\/p>\n

This was just before that second generation Polish migrant – boy to Britain, David Miliband, made a clumsy attempt to browbeat Sri Lanka to stop the military offensive against the terrorists and was told to take a running jump to the Indian Ocean.<\/p>\n

Unquestionably, China played a major role in counterpoising US attempts to manipulate the terrorists into a position of strength and recognition Vis \u2013 a – Vis Sri Lanka and globally.<\/p>\n

With the decimation of the terrorists and their leaders at the battle of Nandikadal the US lost its \u2018proxy\u2019 capability to wage war against Sri Lanka, a military capability they had possessed for nearly 30 years.<\/p>\n

Incapable of carrying on a military offensive in the fashion it had done for three decades the US did a la Clausewitz change when it switched from a military battle arena offensive to the \u2018diplomatic\u2019 battle arena offensive, their objective remaining unchanged.<\/p>\n

The diplomatic war took the shape of an information war targeting primarily the minds of the Sri Lankans. The US objective in the mind war was Winning the peace after losing the war\u201d.<\/p>\n

In the battle for the Sri Lankan mind, Sri Lanka\u2019s enemy for 30 years, the US, sold its objective to the Sri Lankan mind by \u2018advising\u2019 Sri Lankans on \u2018How to win the peace after winning the war\u2019. The Sri Lankans swallowed the bait of their enemy hook line and sinker and the result was 08 Jan 15.<\/p>\n

This was one area where the Sri Lankan government was underprepared; the government failed to realise that although they had vanquished the enemy militarily the enemy had adroitly changed the format of the war from force of arms to diplomacy; as Clausewitz would say, war by other means.<\/p>\n

The US spared no money to bankroll the changed war whereas Sri Lanka was slow to grasp, respond and reallocate funds for the information war.<\/p>\n

In Sri Lanka\u2019s failure to grasp that subtle change in the war situation that had taken place after its glorious military victory at Nandikadal lay the primary answer to the narrow defeat the Rajapakse government suffered in Jan 2015; the government was underprepared and ill equipped to fight the war continued by the US in a new theatre of operations.<\/p>\n

The US had a field day and their big guns in the mind war were the FGOs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
