By Charles. S.Perera<\/em><\/span><\/h2>\n

Since its death the corps of the unburied Sri Lanka now begins to stink. It had worms inside it.\u00a0 They crawled out to \u00a0join the undertakers.\u00a0 The undertakers \u00a0try to make out that it was a natural death, but it was a well planned murder, every one knows it.<\/p>\n

But the\u00a0 Chief Undertaker wearing green coat and trousers instead of usual black has got his police dogs after the previous government to accuse the members of it \u00a0for murder, but the dogs have gone after the artificial \u00a0smells\u00a0 given to them and having gone \u00a0round in circles, are now barking up the wrong trees.<\/p>\n

The worms that crawled out \u00a0have now joined the Yahapalanaya undertakers. The worm that is prized by the undertakers -Sirisena was at the Vatican\u00a0 consulting Pope for advise on the performance of the burial rights of Sri Lanka that was murdered on the 8th<\/sup> January.\u00a0\u00a0 High ranking \u00a0delegations come in great numbers from USA , UNO and UK.\u00a0 They are already practicing the funeral orations before the burial ceremony schedule for the 19th<\/sup> December,2015.<\/p>\n

The Visiting US\u00a0Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs (Designate) Thomas Shannon, after leaving \u00a0the\u00a0 bier where the decomposing\u00a0 corps of \u00a0Sri Lanka lay, went to Trincomalee to tell the Tamil , \u00a0how exiting \u00a0it was\u00a0 to witness first-hand the important work that communities, civil society organizations, and local authorities across this island are undertaking to improve the living standards of Sri Lankans, after the murder in which USA had a hand.\u00a0 That however is far from what the people of the country now think about\u00a0 all that mumbo jumbo of Shannon.<\/p>\n

Shannon added \u00a0We are supporting programs that bring together Tamil, Sinhalese, and Muslim youth on the sports field. And we are providing them with English language and entrepreneurship training, as well as opportunities for exchange programs, and ways to address issues like gender-based violence.\u00a0We\u2019re also working with partners in the East to help eradicate the risk from those terrible remnants of war \u2013 landmines. That means increasing mine-risk awareness and building the capacity of mine detection teams. We\u2019re moving toward a future where a farmer can till a field and a child can play cricket without any fear of losing a limb, or worse, to a hidden land mine,\u201d<\/p>\n

He speaks as if these things had never happened before.\u00a0 USA has no lesson to give Sri Lanka.<\/p>\n

Since the crawling out of \u00a0worms and murder of Sri Lanka on the 8th<\/sup> January,2015, what remains\u00a0 is a phantom state resuscitated from the \u00a0old, USA was wooed by the green vested chief undertaker Ranil and his acolyte the dumb faced Mangala, resulting in\u00a0 the special relationship with USA which has \u00a0grown in proportion.<\/p>\n

During the election, \u00a0in which \u00a0Sri Lanka- the paradise was lost, when the Mahinda Rajapaksa campaign highlighted the agenda of regime change of \u00a0USA and the West , and\u00a0 the gathering of foreign reactionary forces to destabilise Sri Lanka and install a West friendly government in place of the Mahinda Rajapakse government, many UNP stalwarts pooh -poohed the idea as an election gimmick to fool the people, \u00a0asking why should USA and the West be interested in a small country like ours.\u00a0 They believe USA is a \u00a0good Samaritans\u00a0 for Sri Lanka.<\/p>\n

Do the UNP undertakers know the real \u00a0reason behind USA\u2019s\u00a0 show of\u00a0 friendship to Sri Lanka ?<\/p>\n

USA helped the pelerine Ranil, Chandrika, and Mangala to plan and execute the murder of Sri Lanka, and crown the worm that they \u00a0made to crawl out from a peaceful paradise Island \u00a0the President.\u00a0 They also helped Sri Lanka to distance itself from China. Shannon the visiting representative of USA told the Tamils in Trincomalee, that\u00a0 \u00a0the United States will steadfastly support the Sri Lankan people as they continue on their historic journey towards prosperity, peace, and reconciliation.<\/p>\n

How can USA help Sri Lanka, even UK and Australia turn to China for help ?\u00a0 America will\u00a0 not help Sri Lanka\u2019s development process as USA never gives large scale financial aid to countries.\u00a0 Sri Lanka\u2019s foolish UNP undertakers have distance themselves from China to please USA and India. America is ready only with bombs and guns to help countries like they did to Libya.<\/p>\n

Shannon was voicing American Foreign policy\u00a0 towards the new\u00a0 Sri Lanka and USA favourite\u00a0 Ranil and the worm that came out of\u00a0 the former regime in time, seem to be quite satisfied and carry out the dictates of USA.<\/p>\n

Reason for USA\u00a0 patronized relationship\u00a0 towards Sri Lanka is documented in an evaluation \u00a0report prepared for the US State Department, by the US Agency for International Development.\u00a0 It is called: Sri Lanka: The Impact of\u00a0 PL 480 Title I Food Assistance\u201d dated \u00a0October,1982. It reads as follows in the\u00a0 extract below under the heading :<\/p>\n

United States Interests <\/strong><\/p>\n

Two factors give Sri Lanka an international importance greater than its modest size and economic position might otherwise suggest: its strategic location and its influential role in both the nonaligned movement and the Group of 77.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>Strategically, Sri Lanka lies astride merchant shipping lanes that are as important to the flow of oil and trade between Asia and the Middle East and Europe today as they were to colonial trade in past centuries. It is juxtaposed between important western naval and air facilities in the Indian Ocean, the Philippines, and the Far East. There is no question that the United States has an added interest in the neutrality and independence of a nation which commands strategic resources and a position of this nature. \u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>It is clear that if Sri Lanka were to be irreparably rent by communal strife or seriously affected by a deteriorated economic position, this would be counter to U.S. interests.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Moderation in Sri Lanka, which is reflected by the respect it receives in international circles and the preservation of the tradition of strongly participatory democratic government, is far preferable to the United States. The extent to which the PL 480 program has helped to achieve this foreign policy interest of th~ United States is not easily quantifiable. The stability of the program, however, and its continuation even when relations between the two nations were cool, indicate that PL 480 Title I is likely to have had a positive role in bilateral relations. Today, PL 480 is an important aspect of these relations, and overall the results have been both developmentally and politically positive over the past several years.<\/p>\n

Because of Sri Lanka’s small size, its relative importance in the areas of market development and surplus disposal through PL 480 has been small in comparison with the important development and foreign policy roles.\u201d\u00a0 http:\/\/pdf.usaid.gov\/pdf_docs\/PNAAJ623.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n

This is what our people failed to understand. The truth now comes from the horse\u2019s mouth.<\/p>\n

It was the Trade Union Leaders and he JVP that laughed when it was said that\u00a0 there was a planned foreign interference in Sri Lanka for a regime change. Handunetti of\u00a0 JVP once ridiculed in the TV political program Aluth Parlimenthuwa\u201d a Sri Lankan who had come from London and gave evidence of\u00a0 how the London Town Council\u00a0 collaborated with the Tamil diaspora\u00a0 allowing\u00a0 London Buses to display large LTTE slogans. The Trade Union Leaders\u00a0 are interested in increasing of their \u00a0salaries\u00a0 , and care less for the safe guarding\u00a0 of culture and religion. JVP does not mind piggybacking \u00a0on \u00a0UNP shoulders, if that would serve them have a few more votes at the next election.<\/p>\n

That is the problem in Sri Lanka they are self interested to fulfil their own personal ambitions\u00a0 rather than\u00a0 be concerned about the country and its people.\u00a0 Do they speak about \u00a0Ranil\u2019s UNP government\u2019s proposal to remove the Prevention of Terrorism Act , making it easy for the TNA to set up a separate Tamil State in the North ?\u00a0 Trade Unions do not speak either about it , nor about 99 or 50 year lease of land to foreign investors.<\/p>\n

The Sri Lanka of today is in the hands of a Catholic leadership and its President is being led by his nose. But Mahinda Rajapakse was a Buddhist leader who made Buddhist sermons delivered from his official \u00a0residence Temple trees every full moon poya day to be heard by the people of Sri Lanka. Mahinda Rajapakse\u2019s \u00a0visit to Pope was on behalf of the Catholics in Sri Lanka.<\/p>\n

But Sirisena having no Buddhist thoughtfulness merely imitates Mahinda Rajapakse . Incidently Sirisena is meeting with the Pope too not wanting to be second to Mahinda Rajapakse who he helped to oust under\u00a0 USA and Western sponsored regime change carried out by the Western lackeys Ranil and Chandrika.<\/p>\n

CeylonToday on \u00a0December,2015 reported, His Holiness Pope Francis gave audience to President Maithripala Sirisena at Vatican yesterday. \u2026\u2026..This meeting is taking place at a crucial point of the course of humanity’s history. \u2026..The world may very well be on the brink of another world war. Nations stand divided based on their religions, beliefs and cultures. Racism is running rampant alongside nationalism and patriotism continues to poison nation by nation\u2026\u2026\u2026Therefore, President Maithripala Sirisena’s meeting with Pope Francis could not have come at a better time. Even though we maybe a small island nation, we will not be left out if ever the terror comes knocking. Thus, we will require all the support we could muster.\u201d<\/p>\n

That is strange because the President Mahinda Rajapakse was able to eliminate terrorism without seeking\u00a0 advice from the Pope in Rome.<\/p>\n

The CeylonToday\u00a0 continued in its report, Sri Lanka is still suffering from the scars that were left from the three decades of war that has changed us into what we are now. The reconciliation process is slow and dragged out and would take an indefinite amount of time to succeed.
\nRecently, Catholic priest Rev. Fr. S. V. B. Mangalarajah \u2013 one of the many religious leaders fighting for the rights of the Tamils in the two areas \u2013 had complained to the media that a lot could be achieved if the spiritual needs of the Tamils could be seriously looked into\u2026..Though we agree with the Reverend’s observations it is not simply the spiritual needs of the Tamils that should be specifically met, but also the necessary spiritual needs of the varying religions that are within the country. Not just the Tamils, but also the Muslims, the Catholics, the Hindus, the Christians and even the Buddhists. We can only hope that President Sirisena remembered to bring this up when he met the Pope.
\nReligion can corrupt as well as bring enlightenment to those who follow i\u2026.. there are followers who are truly enlightened leading us towards the eventual peace and prosperity. Pope Francis has that ability as well as the skill to do so and hopefully his wisdom he shared with President Sirisena would not be water poured on a duck’s back.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

We the Buddhists of Sri Lanka beg to differ. In Sri Lanka we have the greatest religious philosophy in the world. If the world could listen to the teachings of the compassionate Buddha, they will not be what they are today trying to solve problems with bombs and guns. Buddhism appeals to the minds of the people, and not to an unseen God to bring peace to the world.<\/p>\n

The God in the Bible has never appeared before the people to solve their problems. The God in the Bible always spoke through a prophet and there is no proof whether the God really spoke to them.<\/p>\n

When Moses asked God to appear before the people he said no one can see his face and live (Exodus 33:20) The God says thou shall not worship no other God: for the Lord , whose name is jealous, is a jealous God (Exodus 34:14).\u00a0 Hence the God of the Bible is not conciliatory.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Therefore if you believe in that God represented by the Pope,\u00a0 what CeylonToday says,\u00a0 Though we agree with the Reverend’s observations it is not simply the spiritual needs of the Tamils that should be specifically met, but also the necessary spiritual needs of the varying religions that are within the country. Not just the Tamils, but also the Muslims, the Catholics, the Hindus, the Christians and even the Buddhists,<\/em> would only be wishful thinking.<\/p>\n

Solution for reconciliation cannot be found in Rome, USA or UK, because the solution is in Sri Lanka, amoung different people of the different Communities.\u00a0 But today Sri Lanka is not what it was before the 8th<\/sup> January,2015, therefore there should be\u00a0 a re-thinking if peace, security and unity of communities have to be built. The present yahapalanaya leadership cannot take Sri Lanka from its preset impasse to\u00a0 security, development and prosperity, because\u00a0 beginning from the Yahapalanaya President, Prime Minister, Foreign Minister, Finance Minister and the rest of the UNP Ministers have jealousy, hatred, anger, and desire for revenge in their minds.<\/p>\n

Therefore they cannot think positively of ways to give security to the country, reconcile the people or unite the Communities. The Yahapalanayas complain that Mahinda Rajapakse was a Dictator.\u00a0 But, it is not true.\u00a0 He may have been an authoritarian in the capacity of the leader of the cabinet.<\/p>\n

That would have been necessary to keep his \u00a0cabinet of Ministers together and loyal. What else could he do when he \u00a0could not even \u00a0have confidence in the Secretary General of his Party the \u00a0Ministers Maithripala Sirisena, there were unreliable Ministers like \u00a0\u00a0Nimal Siripala-another worm that was said to have been ready to leave the camp to join the UNP undertakers, but he had been discouraged in time, Rajitha Senaratne \u00a0a scheming individual, D.M Jayaratne the Prime Minister\u00a0 sticking on to the office despite his illness and inability to perform his duties, Mahinda Samarasinghe bloated with ambition who will do any thong to keep his Ministerial power, \u00a0Sarath Amunugama who would shamelessly \u00a0change sides to retain power and Ministerial prestige, S.B.Dissanayake an eternal turncoat, Dilan Perera who does not know which way to turn , an utterly untrustworthy individual , and \u00a0Pavithra Wanniarachchi, Sudharshani Fernandopulle,\u00a0 Reginald Cooray, Yapa Abeywardhana, Dayasiri Jayasekara\u00a0 how easily they changed sides without giving a thought to their principles and self respect if they had any.<\/p>\n

The Country needs a socialist dictator ship, for that the Yahapalanaya President , his Prime Minister and his cabinet should go.\u00a0 They have no place in a Sinhala Buddhist Sri Lanka.\u00a0 To say that is neither racism nor nationalism .\u00a0 It is the truth.\u00a0 If Sri Lanka is once again to be what it was before\u00a0 the 8th<\/sup> January,2015, it has to be under a Socialist Dictatorship.\u00a0 That is how China was able to come away from the darkness of poverty to brightness of prosperity.<\/p>\n

Sri Lanka was on its way to become a great country and a nation, the first amoung the developing countries to reach the goal of being a\u00a0 developed country.<\/p>\n

To-day\u00a0 despite all the hosannas of praise sung by the USA and the West we are at the bottom of an abyss, to get out of which we seem to have no hope. Our Constitution will be written by Norwegians who prepared the CFA that Ranil Wickramasinghe signed with the terrorist Prabhakaran, our Army is to be re-organised by\u00a0 UK, our land is to be sold or given on 99 or 50 year lease to foreign investors, all public institutions, hospitals,\u00a0 education system, Postal and Railway Departments , water and electricity \u00a0are to be handed over to private companies, the government servants are to be deprived of\u00a0 hitherto known pension rights, our heroic soldiers are to be tried for war crimes by foreign judges, prosecutors, and lawyers.<\/p>\n

In the meantime India is proceeding with construction of\u00a0 sea bridge and tunnel to connect Sri Lanka to Tamil Nadu.\u00a0 Ranil is proposing to sign CEPA agreement with India giving it a different name to fool the people, it will open employment sector to Indian workers.<\/p>\n

This yahaplanaya cronies\u00a0 do not see Sri Lanka as a model for others to emulate, but want to develop Sri Lanka following\u00a0 other models Singapore, Malaysia and \u00a0South Africa.<\/p>\n

Do we see a way out other than by getting rid of the Yahapalanaya crowd, and re installing democracy, stopping Sri Lanka becoming a police State. Now itself the Prime Minister\u00a0 is curtailing the powers of the Parliament not allowing the democratic right of\u00a0 Parliamentarians\u00a0 to present a no confidence motion against the Finance Minister. The Speaker of the House has become a yes man of the Prime Minister. Sirisena the President is blissfully unaware of what is taking place in our once paradise Sri Lanka.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We can only pray that democracy is re established, and Litchavi principles followed with out making Sri Lanka a Capitalist dictatorship of Ranil the western lackey , a \u00a0playground for the rich investors from USA and West enjoy the riches of our Island paradise, denying it to the people of this country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
