Apart from a handful, the nation appears euthanized and incapable to understand that the nation is nearing the precipice and the collapse unlikely to be reversed.

When that happens our sovereignty would automatically collapse. When we cannot control Indian fishermen from stealing our fish can we stop the influx of Indians into Sri Lanka? Even the Northern Province Chief Minister or their newly formed federal government will have no say. The influx will be far greater than the indentured laborers brought by the British and settled down in Sri Lanka. Indians will not care too hoots for any Thesavalamai laws that Sambanthans or Wigneswaran\u2019s will chant. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><span lang=\"EN\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Our memories are short. We have forgotten that India started Tamil Terrorist militancy by clandestinely training Tamil youth in India and sending them to fight our forces and destabilize our nation. A friend will never do that. We have never had a proper India policy. We still do not know how many Tamil Nadu Tamils fought for the LTTE or even how many Tamil Nadu Tamils turned Sri Lankan into their home throughout the 3 decades that LTTE ruled allowing a flow of Indians into Sri Lanka. This is one reason why we cannot gauge the number of deaths against the actual Tamil population. We have also forgotten India\u2019s attempt to annex Sri Lanka an endeavor lasting centuries and mentioned in the writings of Kautilya. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><span lang=\"EN\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Setting out to achieve that objective is the use of the Tamil card. The Indian Government with one stone is able to deal with both Tamil Nadu and get Sri Lankan Tamil on to their side as well.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><span lang=\"EN\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Incremental territorial gains was India\u2019s next option starting off with the Indo-Lanka Accord of 1987 and tweaking Sri Lanka\u2019s constitution to introduce the 13<\/span><sup><span style=\"color: #000000;\">th<\/span><\/sup><span style=\"color: #000000;\"> amendment and the provincial council system that declared the north and east to be merged and referred to as traditional homeland of Tamil speaking people. The next was to bring in 100,000 Indian troops with no intention of leaving though that plan did not work out as expected. With each incremental gain, India was able to diplomatically exert its will and ensure that Indianization took place socially, culturally, economically and even politically with politicians of all party in the secret payroll of India pushing forward India\u2019s agenda. <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><span lang=\"EN\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">What role does Tamils and Tamil Nadu play in all this. They are simply happy to play along for all minority political leadership\/their families and associates have served to gain by peddling the minority grievance\/aspiration slogan, a theme that gels well with the geopolitics of liberal think tanks busy breaking up the nation-states to create mini-states that would provide new means of taxations and bigger profits for the corporates\/secret societies that run the world. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><span lang=\"EN\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Tamil Nadu is a 99% Tamil majority state. Its official language in Tamil, everything is done in Tamil. <\/span><b><span style=\"color: #000000;\">But Tamil Nadu\u2019s 72million Tamils does not dare to sing the Indian national anthem in Tamil or even demand to.<\/span><\/b><span style=\"color: #000000;\"> Yet, in a state where Tamils run themselves why are Tamils not been treated well? DMK and AIADMK are guilty of not alleviating poverty. <\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">19 % of Tamil Nadu\u2019s population consists of Dalit\u2019s, 50% of them are illiterate, 70% of Dalit\u2019s are Christian.<\/span><span lang=\"EN\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"> If this is the case in the state where separatism started when they can\u2019t even look after their own, on what grounds are they claiming to want their own state to look after and be led by their own people? Meanwhile, <\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">836 million people live on less than Rs. 20 a day in India. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">India\u2019s plan is simple enough. LTTE helped India to make inroads into Sri Lanka. 30 years was enough time for India to decipher which buttons needed to be pressed. The next need was to get rid of LTTE and that too took less than 3 years to complete. India was quick to play its cards and \u2018concern for Tamils\u2019 became a perfect ploy to ensure enough of Indians were relocated, given land deeds (for those who never owned lands) and placed in strategic locations that India had been eyeing (which they could easily buy off from the IDPs). <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The perfect opportunity has come with a weak government now in power. India asks and India gets. CEPA has become the ECTA likely to result in detrimental repercussions for all Sri Lankans irrespective of their economic status. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Everybody is likely to be affected when Indians are allowed to enter, set up business, bring family, take residence and carry on everything that Sri Lankans do in their home. India has 1.3billion people and Sri Lanka just 20million. Tamil Nadu has 72million. A little imagination will help visualize the future. Indian empire just like the Roman Empire is expanding. Sinhalese are destined to become poorer than they are. IT industry opening up 100% to Indians will not only leave 80,000 Sri Lankans jobless but will pose a national security risk with all computer systems under RAW. We will be sovereign in name only. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0<\/span><b><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Collapse of nation-states \u2013 redrawing\/recreating nation-states<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/b><span style=\"color: #000000;\">These are the visible political situations taking place.

By lies helped by UN. How has the Middle East suddenly gone up in flames? By lies helped by UN. Thus, by carving out new independent states a \u2018New Middle East\u2019 will be created. Iraqi Kurdistan will be created, Kosovo was created and had nothing to do with saving Kosovars, Yugoslavia was cut into independent states, South Sudan was created, the same happened to the Soviet Union. These carved out new states are all been promoted as humanitarian righteous solutions. For this minorities are used as battering ram and the grievances flogged for public consumption has been language, minority rights, discriminations, minority grievances, injustice etc. All issues given oxygen by well-funded NGOs, human rights organizations, the UN and Anglo-American foreign powers along with their non-white strategic partners elsewhere.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><span lang=\"EN\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">All these new map creations taking place totally ignores or is not bothered about the root cause of problems. Even the media has failed to highlight that modern conflicts are all manufactured for Anglo-American agendas. The issues that are being highlighted as being reason to draw the new maps were issues that these parties helped create or fanned into further chaos. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><span lang=\"EN\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Libya never had ISIS, Al Qaeda or any of its partners.

Nepal has been pushed into having a new constitution that too drafted overseas. In 2013 a key cabinet minister and the person drafting the new constitution met the present Opposition Leader, members of the TNA and LTTE Diaspora in Singapore and agreed upon what is known as the Singapore Principles. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tamilnet.com\/art.html?catid=79&amp;artid=37606\">https:\/\/www.tamilnet.com\/art.html?catid=79&amp;artid=37606<\/a><span style=\"color: #000000;\"> in watching the events that have unfolded since, it is not difficult to understand that the developments have all the hallmarks of outside planning and plenty of money thrown in. The singing of the national anthem violating Sri Lanka\u2019s constitution has been the icing on the cake and a signal to all of what\u2019s to come. What is laughable about all the reconciliation goodwill of only the Sinhala politicians giving everything that is not theirs is that at the other spectrum from the Northern Province Chief Minister, to the Opposition Leader who is doing just what Amirthalingam did as Opposition Leader and the deproscribed LTTE front leaders are chanting separatism and collecting money for it too. The world is laughing at the Sinhalese leaders &amp; their yes-men who are clapping reconciliation with one hand while the other side is scheming to divide the nation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">When Kerry says he is proud of the regime change and the UNSG sends congratulatory messages when every day a murder is taking place it goes to show the extent hypocrisy prevails in world affairs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Since all these secret dealings must take place without the public getting a whiff of it, the best tactic being employed is to divert people\u2019s attention and the politicians are ready to make fools of themselves too. To add spice, and keep scorecard the Opposition are being either arrested, taken for questioning to a serious of questionable entities that have been created only to deal with Opposition members. In the meanwhile the service commandos are named by the UN Resolution and the stamp of treachery comes in the government co-sponsoring it making a laughing stock of the military victory over the LTTE. The military is being further neutralized by allowing the divide and rule masters to restructure the military while UN\/US officials are going in and out of our security establishments as if going shopping. Will you find anyone allowing another country or official near the security establishments of US, UK, EU nations or even India?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">If people are clueless about the state of affairs in the nation, it is because we have a sepoy media\/press plenty of foreign funded NGOs who are paid by foreign governments, Bar Association\u2019s former president who had much to say before the new government came into power but is now busy having got a job in the new government.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">A specter of silence from quarters that must voice their concern to the public apart from a handful rings alarms to a proud nation that has a longer history than the enemies that are knocking at our doors. Even the social media that had been the only source for alternate opinion is now under attack. So where is this good governance that has been promised? Where is the freedom to voice one\u2019s views\/opinions?\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The theatrics at play are all part of a global agenda to which Sri Lanka has fallen prey.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">India\u2019s designs are partnered with the West now on its second imperial venture of Asia having decimated the Middle East and enemy nations and their leaders, Africa is unlikely to come out of its misery any time too soon.

That equals the oil and gas that the West is attracted to. A country that secures Sri Lanka is able to even block the trade lanes and supply routes via sea. The antipathy with China is what unites the West &amp; India which is a battle between the corporates that own and run the West against a rising China coming out with its new partners, new banking systems and a new world order that contradicts with the West\u2019s corporate plan. Unfortunately Sri Lanka has fallen prey to global politics and our politicians for lack of any brains or vision have chosen to play along with their appeasement policy siphoning of Sri Lanka\u2019s limited territory to foreigners and our people for sheer selfishness remain silent.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Where will all this madness end in this law of the jungle, only time will tell! <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Only those who know the history value it.
