The Tamil and Sinhalese Feudalists, taking their cue from Esmond Wickramasinghe\u2019s \u2018Sinhala only\u2019 slogan as their ultimate platform, manipulated the 1956 and 1958 racial riots, the assassination of SWRD in 1959, the staging of the botched up military Coup that attempted to topple the anti colonial government of Sirima Bandaranaike in 1962, the Declaration of War against \u00a0the State of Sri Lanka in 1976 at Vaddukoddai (this declaration of war\u00a0 came close on the heels of the break up of the left oriented UF (United Front) Government, a break up that was precipitated by the \u2018WWCFO\u2019 foisted JVP insurrection, – White Western Country Funded Organisations also known as NGOs – that\u00a0 erupted just eleven months into the UF government; the break up of the UF was a sine qua non for JRJ to make his entry in 1977).<\/p>\n

And finally, Esmond Wickramasinghe\u2019s diabolic slogan resulted in the Northern and Southern Feudalists, together orchestrating the racial riots of 1983 which proved to be the precursor to India invading Sri Lanka in 1987 and to India forcing Sri Lanka at gun point to write into the Constitution the 13th<\/sup> amendment, yet to be ratified by the people at a referendum.<\/p>\n

In the face of massive opposition JRJ was able to pass this amendment only through the Parliamentary stage, and that too after resorting to criminal and unconstitutional behaviour; he \u2018gheraoed\u2019 his parliamentarians before the vote and coerced undated letters of resignation from them.<\/p>\n

The distraction created by EW\u2019s racial slogan remains today the beachhead on which the White Western Countries have thrived, exploited and expanded their offensive to dismantle the sovereign State of Sri Lanka and to facilitate the process of re \u2013 colonisation of the island by the White Western Countries \u2013 assisted by the regional Feudal wallahs – \u00a0now firmly under the control of the Multi National Corporations.<\/p>\n

The White Western Community could not but be pleased with EW\u2019s work; their Lucifer had served them well.<\/p>\n

In gratitude and to forge a wilier nexus for the future, the White Western Community offered a carrot to EW; they held out a promise to appoint Lakshman Wickramasinghe, the brother of their point man in Sri Lanka, as a Bishop of their church in the Island.<\/p>\n

EW was successful in persuading his laid – back brother, then domiciled in England as his nephew recalls, to ditch his fianc\u00e9 and return to Sri Lanka to fit into the plan of the Neo Feudalists.<\/p>\n

When the point man of the White West reached the autumn of his life, the time had come for him to pass the baton on to his son. RW, in many respects, was his father\u2019s son. There was generally no dispute that both were diabolical and devious to the core. RW knew on which side his bread was buttered. The global White \u2018Big Boys\u2019 were his choice and they buttered him on his preferred side.<\/p>\n

JRJ the arch neo -feudalist took RW, his de facto Foreign Minister\u2019s son, under his wings.<\/p>\n

Cutting his political teeth as a fledgling Minister in the JRJ cabal, RW attracted the Big Boy of the underworld, Gonawela Sunil; Sunil was his constant companion at that time. The \u2018pretty \u2013 faced\u2019 contract killer was a convicted rapist given a Presidential pardon by JRJ who thereafter appointed him an \u2018All Island Justice of Peace\u2019.<\/p>\n

Snide remarks were making the rounds in the corridors of the Ministry at that time; a printable favourite was that Gonawela Sunil was the Minister of Education and RW his devoted deputy.<\/p>\n

Monies for transfers and school admissions, which were collected from hapless teachers and parents, were picked up by Gonawela Sunil.<\/p>\n

When in 1983 JRJ, the arch Neo Feudalist in the South, unleashed the horrendous dogs of racial hatred and violence in Colombo, Gonawela Sunil had, by that time, already been given a Presidential pardon; there were convincing reports that Gonawela Sunil had been given unhindered access into the Welikada prison to lead rioting prisoners in the massacre of 53 Tamil prisoners whose lives were in the custodial care of the Government; the murdered prisoners included Kutimany.<\/p>\n

The massacre was reportedly macabre; prisoners, whilst yet alive, had their tongues cut out, eyes gouged, heads decapitated and their blood feasted on.<\/p>\n

When JRJ finally decided to call out the security forces, four days later, to rein in the terror and the bloodletting, Gonawela Sunil\u2019s home area in Kelaniya was a no go Zone; no, not for the killer or RW but for the security forces.<\/p>\n

RW was a Member of Parliament nursing the Kelaniya electorate at that time.<\/p>\n

In an interview with the Daily News on 12 Aug 83 and adduced to in https:\/\/www.colombotelegraph.com\/index.php\/july-1983-ranil-wickremasinghe-followed-cyril-mathew\/<\/a> RW had reportedly by innuendo justified the violence unleashed on the Tamils; he had alluded that it was \u2018legitimate\u2019 Sinhalese anger, long pent up, that had been the cause for the violence and that the violence had successfully redressed the Sinhalese grievances stemming from unwarranted rewards, not given his cousin Upali Wijewardena and other Sinhalese businessmen, but doled out to Tamil businessmen.<\/p>\n

That article went on to say that Lakshman Wickramasinghe, EW\u2019s brother and RW\u2019s uncle, died prematurely in October 1983, a broken man.<\/p>\n

Sobbing uncontrollably, while visiting refugees in the aftermath of the riots, Lakshman Wickramasinghe had confided that his family had been involved in the violence unleashed on the Tamil community, particularly two members of his family.<\/p>\n

It is no surprise that the White Western Community has not raised even a whimper or encouraged Sri Lanka to probe the 1983 riots and the prison massacre.<\/p>\n

Yankee Dick, coordinating with the Feudalists in the North, allowed free rein to the lumpen elements on both sides of the divide to do the dirty work of the Sinhalese and Tamil Feudalists; he collaborated with the Feudalists in the White Western Countries and the region to run the most successful recruiting campaign ever for the LTTE, a desultory organisation at that time.<\/p>\n

Cogent reports point an accusing finger at JRJ, for collaborating with the White Western countries and India, in implementing the Neo Feudal plan of using the 1983 ethnic riots to create in those foreign countries, hordes of agent provocateurs – foreign extremists of Tamil origin – .<\/p>\n

These extremists, as citizens of the White Western Countries, would operate in fear and on the dictates and guidance of those foreign governments. These agent provocateurs remain effective tools of foreign policy of the Global Feudalists.<\/p>\n

In the strange semantics of the White Western World these Western extremists, (of Tamil origin), are described as the \u2018Diaspora\u2019,<\/p>\n

RW may have been an odd or queer ball but he certainly was not a spare wheel, as he now likes to describe himself, in his pathetic attempt to distance himself from the JRJ Government. Perhaps he was a spare wheel broken loose, careering on a deadly trail wreaking mayhem and terror in its wake.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
