15th<\/sup> November, 2016<\/p>\n

DONALD TRUMP, THE PRESDENT ELECT,<\/p>\n

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.<\/p>\n

Dear Mr. Trump,<\/p>\n

You won against colossal odds. You defeated the combined efforts of the ESTABLISHMENT\u201d.<\/p>\n

You defeated the very powerful and influential,\u00a0 yet one of the most corrupt Political combines, the Media and Wall Street. The head of the UNHCR Zeid Ra\u2019ad al-Hussein issued a statement saying that you were dangerous from an international point of view\u201d All of them projected the view that your task was impossible. \u00a0Some even vowed to leave the planet earth and go to Mars! Those were the odds given for a Trump victory but the people believed in you and in spectacular repudiation of the Establishment made you their Commander-in-Chief.<\/p>\n

We the peace-loving people of Sri Lanka, congratulate you Mr. Donald Trump the 45th<\/sup> President of the USA.<\/p>\n

As you stated in your victory oration, we hope you will work towards uniting the world. Make all the countries in the world your allies and bring peace to the world.\u00a0 This would comprise STOPPING the multiple wars created in the guise of fighting terrorism\u201d, installing democracy\u201d, restoring human rights\u201d and bringing American troops fighting in foreign lands back to their families. As Secretary Clinton\u2019s secret emails regarding terrorism in the middle-east revealed, she was not in the business of fighting the terrorists but creating more of them<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We in Sri Lanka clearly remember how Hilary Clinton justified the actions of one of the world\u2019s deadliest terrorist group<\/a>s, the Tamil Tigers<\/a> who were responsible for conducting a protracted civil conflict<\/a> for more than 30.\u00a0 In one of her e-mails regarding the Sri Lankan conflict, Secretary Clinton intervened<\/a> in early May, 2009 to bring obstacles to the Government of Sri Lanka when it was clear to her that the Tamil Tigers were being defeated<\/a> on the battle field. She said in one of her interviews with the media, that there are GOOD TERRORISTS and bad terrorists and the Tamil Tigers are good terrorists\u201d This is what Governor Chris Christie said regarding Hilary and the Tamil Tigers<\/a> It\u2019s a group<\/p>\n

for whom she\u2019s advocated a \u2018raisons d’\u00eatre\u2019 approach\u201d meaning, if the Tamil Tigers had committed the San Bernardino or the Orlando massacres, Hillary Clinton would be OK with it\u201d. It was also a well-known fact that Hillary received funds from the Tamil Tiger fronts<\/a> in the USA for her election campaign.<\/p>\n

Further, the Indian Express<\/em> newspaper on 6th<\/sup> Nov. reported that Sri Lankan Tamils will break 1,008 coconuts to bless Hillary\u00a0Clinton<\/a>, imploring their gods to make her victorious. Such is the Tamil Tiger fronts\u2019 affection for Hillary Clinton.<\/p>\n

When Sri Lanka finally eliminated terrorism against the will of Hillary and the Obama administration, those people set about showing the world how they were going to punish what is termed the threat of a good example\u201d<\/p>\n

Starting with Hilary Clinton, the USA representatives at the UNHRC and the entire machinery of the establishment\u201d the Obama government initiated a resolution alleging HR violations and war crimes intending to plunge Sri Lanka into a period of uncertainty. \u00a0They first engineered Regime change\u201d (with the aid of the Indian Secret Service – RAW) and then instructed the new rulers to begin punishing the people responsible for destroying the terrorists. This UNHCR and USA agenda is still in the process of being implemented, but we hope, would be stopped due your election as President.<\/p>\n

When asked about the abortive military coup in Turkey during your presidential campaign your reply was What right do we in the United States have to criticize the condition of human rights elsewhere\u201d<\/strong> We agree with you 100% \u00a0Mr. Trump and request that you kindly instruct your State department \u00a0to abide by those sentiments. Much of the misery caused worldwide by former US administrations could have been avoided if they too reasoned likewise.<\/p>\n

In conclusion, we hope you will keep the promise made in your victory oration and \u2026 will deal fairly with everyone, with everyone \u2014 all people and all other nations. We will seek common ground, not hostility; partnership, not conflict\u201d\u00a0\u00a0 We assume that \u2026.all people and all other nations\u201d\u00a0 includes the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka.<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

We convey our best wishes to you in making the USA stronger and bringing peace to the world<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Yours sincerely,
