Replacement of Mr. Mahinda Rajapaksa (MR) with Mr. Maithripala Sirisena (MS) is felt like a sore thumb for Sri Lankan expatriates who have been monitoring the global operations of the Tamil Tiger terrorists (LTTE) through various front organizations operating as charitable human rights organizations.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>In a nutshell, the transition from R to S has rejuvenated the Tamil Tigers in Western countries.<\/strong><\/span> The regime change has been a part of their plan and now the Tigers are re-emerging with a helping hand from the present Sri Lankan government after many years of restraint by the previous. It is not at all good news for Sri Lanka, though the government presents this development as improved relations with the Tamil diaspora in the Western countries in the name of reconciliation. The pro-separatist LTTE activists have been pushing for this regime change and they helped those in power now to get there. Now, the government is trying hard to appease these powerful pro-separatist Tamil groups, hoodwinking the Sri Lankan public. Let us look at just one example. <span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>Emmanuel gives Maithri the thumbs up &#8211; Global Tamil Forum\u201d <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>This was the headline news in the Sri Lankan newspaper available for passengers when boarding<\/p>\n<p>Emirate flights (perhaps all flights) to Sri Lanka on 18th May:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ceylontoday.lk\/51-93121-news-detail-emmanuel-gives-maithri-the-thumbs-up-global-tamil-forum.html\">https:\/\/www.ceylontoday.lk\/51-93121-news-detail-emmanuel-gives-maithri-the-thumbs-up-global-tamil-forum.html<\/a><br \/>\nFor anyone travelling to Sri Lanka, this was the best news thrown at them in the form of the Ceylon Today paper, widely promoted around Colombo, often the only newspaper provided for customers in many upmarket venues. This news gives the illusion that the current MS regime is doing the right thing by engaging the Tamil diaspora neglected by the MR regime. It is an attempt, in colloquial terms to suck up\u201d to the Western governments that are in turn under pressure by the pro-separatist LTTE fronts (masquerading as organizations defending human rights) that show overestimated electoral, financial and societal clout. It is also an attempt to win the electoral support of the influential and affluent Colombo elite who are keen to appease the Western powers, even at a cost to national interests.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>Not in one part, did this article reveal that this Fr. Emmanuel, the leader of the Global Tamil Forum (GTF) is an avid campaigner of the LTTE. In fact, the GTF is a formidable LTTE front. <\/strong><\/span>This is how the Sri Lankans today are deceived by their elected leader MS and the unelected (as appointed by MS) Prime Minister Mr. Ranil Wickramasinghe (RW).<\/p>\n<p>Below is photographic evidence (from Left) of Fr. Emmanuel addressing an LTTE gathering in Germany in 2009, an old photo from Jaffna days with Castro who was in charge of overseas LTTE procurements and the good Father\u201d complaining to Mr. David Milliband about Sri Lanka at pro-separatist event held at the British parliament.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lankaweb.com\/news\/items\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/saveSL1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-46248\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lankaweb.com\/news\/items\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/saveSL1-1024x283.png\" alt=\"saveSL1\" width=\"887\" height=\"245\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lankaweb.com\/news\/items\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/saveSL1-1024x283.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.lankaweb.com\/news\/items\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/saveSL1-300x83.png 300w, https:\/\/www.lankaweb.com\/news\/items\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/saveSL1.png 1056w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 887px) 100vw, 887px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>Most Sri Lankans appear to have no idea that there is a very dangerous development with the empowerment of the LTTE fronts that are spearheading a campaign to achieve their dream, Eelam, an unfair mono-ethnic Tamil state carved out of Sri Lanka.<\/strong> <\/span>They are certainly gaining grounds and are politically lobbying at high level in Western countries. For example, UK-based GTF and the Australian Tamil Congress (ATC), another LTTE front, had discussions accompanied the TNA MP M.A. Sumanthiran to a meeting with the Australian Foreign Minister Ms. Julie Bishop on 25 March 2015. The purpose of the visit was to push Australia to support the UN resolution to conduct a war crimes probe on the last days of the war with the LTTE \u2013 as Sumanthiran told Tamil media. Previously, when the Sri Lankan High Commission was Headed by Admiral Thisara Samarasinghe (who was appointed by the MR regime and recalled by the MS regime), the Australian government appeared to listen more to facts, not fabrications of the pro-LTTE groups like these. Now, it\u2019s all going backwards. This is the sad reality of Sri Lankan diplomatic scene now.<br \/>\nAfter their 33-year long brutal terrorist war failed in 2009, the LTTE in the West declared a political war\u201d (manipulating international politics) against Sri Lanka. This was done in great style at the Philadelphia Convention Center in USA in May 2010 with <span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>the inauguration of the Transnational Government of Tamil Eelam (TGTE) <\/strong><\/span>with the support of LTTE fronts attending from all over the world.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lankaweb.com\/news\/items\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/saveSL2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-46249\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lankaweb.com\/news\/items\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/saveSL2-1024x405.png\" alt=\"saveSL2\" width=\"865\" height=\"342\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lankaweb.com\/news\/items\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/saveSL2-1024x405.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.lankaweb.com\/news\/items\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/saveSL2-300x119.png 300w, https:\/\/www.lankaweb.com\/news\/items\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/saveSL2.png 1096w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 865px) 100vw, 865px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; color: #ff0000;\">Sri Lankans must have a look at the high level organization of this TGTE and the map of Eelam\u201d it is claiming.<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><strong> Are you ready to hand it over more than 35% of Sri Lanka, with most of its coastline to these prot\u00e9g\u00e9s of Prabhakaran?<\/strong><\/span> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tgte-us.org\/\">http:\/\/www.tgte-us.org\/<\/a><br \/>\n<strong>From Left: PM of the TGTE, V.
