While, those that were brought\ninto power in 2015 are pointing blame fingers at each other, it serves no\npurpose for a nation now returning to the fear psychosis that prevailed\nthroughout LTTE terror. This is not the change they were promised. Sri Lanka is\ntoday dealing with a weak &amp; spineless government at the mercy of those that\nbrought them to power caught between giving in to the demands made by those\nthat brought them to power at the cost of angering their vote base &amp;\nlikelihood of a future election defeat. No amount of false flags engineered by\ntheir foreign support bases are likely to bring the present government back to\npower as things stand which explains why the government is reluctant to hold\nany form of election &amp; increasing its unpopularity by not doing so. While our\nown security lapses are many, what we also need to take stock of is this ISIS\nmovement &amp; connect that to the sudden demand for foreign presence in Sri\nLanka where Islamic terror provides the super camouflage to justify their\nentry. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2 articles provide a key to placing Sri\nLanka\u2019s situation in proper context. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First is an article by <strong>Shwe Kalaung titled Islamic state training\ncamp busted in Sri Lanka\u201d<\/strong> mentioning hike in ISIS in Sri Lanka, culminating\nin the death of a ISIS Sri Lankan fighter in Syria in 2017 who was eulogized as\na martyr throughout Sri Lanka. Incidentally a Syria is claimed to be arrested\nafter the Easter Sunday attacks. In January 2019 authorities came across an IS\ntraining camp in Wanathawilluwa near Puttalam lagoon where 100kg of explosives\nwere found when the authorities searched for 2 suspects vandalizing Buddhist\nstatues. The imam arrested at the camp confessed that the explosives were meant\nto bomb sacred Buddhist sites in Anuradhapura. Even by January 2019 CID were\nlooking for 50 names IS suspects. Is that imam still under arrest, has he being\ncharged under terror acts, have the 50 IS suspects been found &amp; arrested \u2013\nno one knows!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Jihadis\n\u2013 Organ trafficking &amp; Narcoterrorism<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shwe Kalaung connects Islamic groups to illegal organ trafficking &amp;\nnarcoterrorism links drug money to purchase of weapons, properties, training\nand bribery, all &nbsp;happening, across SAARC\ncountries supported by jihadists from Gulf Cooperation Council. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shwe Kalaung links the arrest of Sri Lanka\u2019s drug kingpin Makandura\nMadhush with the funding of Islamic State training camp in Puttalam claiming\nhis network even includes ex-LTTE combatants. LTTE dealt in illegal drug\ntrafficking too. Madhush operated from Dubai where he was arrested and the\njewel heist investigations revealed a conspiracy to kill President Sirisena\nwhich again raises the question who benefits from the death of the President? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army (ARSA) formed\nin 2012 in Myanmar which masterminded the August 2017 insurgency by Saudi imam\nAta Ullah confirms our doubts about Rohingya-jihadi links. ARSA is claimed to\nreceive support from Saudi &amp; funded via yaba pills, methamphetamines\nmanufactured &amp; sold to Islamic gangs in Bangladesh where ARSA gets training\nfrom near Rakhine State border. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bangladeshi\u2019s are regularly caught\ntrafficking in Sri Lanka. Bangladesh being the epicentre for the Golden\nHorseshoe Caliphate. Coincidentally, a family member of the Bangladeshi PM also\ndied in one of the hotel blasts in Colombo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Golden Horseshoe\nCaliphate &amp; 786 movement <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shwe Kalaung says Caliphate spans from western side of Indonesia, includes\nSingapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Myanmar, Bangladesh, India &amp; Sri Lanka\ncovering Andaman Sea, Bay of Bengal and Indian Ocean while on Eastern side it\ncovers Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam. Coincidentally all countries covered under US \u2018pivot\nto Asia\u2019 policy! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>786 Movement is a doomsday prophecy according\nto author signaling complete global Islamic takeover by 21<sup>st<\/sup> century\n(7-8-6 adds to 21) This number was displayed in Myanmar food items imported\nfrom Middle East supporting jihadi cause. Myanmar Buddhists responded with 969\ncounter-movement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shwe Kalaung highlights a complicated network of illegal players. GCC\ncountries (Saudi &amp; UAE) masterminding terror funded by drug trade against\nAsian counterparts using ex-combatants also funded by drugs &amp; linked to\nIslamic gangs. Both these groups probably have some unwritten understanding\nwith foreign intelligence whose objectives are to create conflict &amp;\ninstability in targeted regions for geopolitical policy objectives of their\ngovernments. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The targeting of Shangri-la hotel in the\nrecent Easter Sunday multiple bombings provides a clue to that geopolitical\nsignificance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The other article is by <strong>Adam Garrie Sri Lankan Authorities may have fallen into a trap set by\na foreign power\u201d.<\/strong> Garrie too refers to an \u2018Indian-backed assassination plot\nagainst the President\u2019 <a href=\"https:\/\/eurasiafuture.com\/2019\/04\/22\/sri-lankan-authorities-may-have-fallen-into-a-trap-set-by-a-foreign-power\/\">https:\/\/eurasiafuture.com\/2019\/04\/22\/sri-lankan-authorities-may-have-fallen-into-a-trap-set-by-a-foreign-power\/<\/a>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Some\nquestions arising from this article are: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>What are the foreign countries\/foreign intelligence\nlinked with National Thowheeth Jamaath or is it just a fa\u00e7ade?<\/li><li>Since when has NTJ been training from Tamil Nadu-Chennai\n(where LTTE too had its initial training)<\/li><li>How did NTJ from vandalizing Buddhist statues a few\nmonths back pull off multiple attacks that claimed over 350 lives on a single\nday, something even LTTE could not do in 30 years!<\/li><li>Are the NTJ attackers\u2019 pawns\u201d in a larger geopolitical\ngame \u2013 if so who are their real handlers?<\/li><li>Which foreign countries\/foreign intelligence seek to gain\nfrom orchestrating such an attack weakening Sri Lanka politically &amp;\neconomically?<\/li><li>Are the attacks in Sri Lanka connected to provocations\nagainst Pakistan resulting in the shooting down of 2 Indian jets?<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Adam Garrie does not mince words about the\npossible links to RAW &amp; the NTJ attacks given that all of the warnings\nabout the attacks are coming from India knowing Sri Lanka has its guard down as\na result of forcing Sri Lanka\u2019s Govt to open up its security apparatus to\nforeign-UN interference while placing mediocre officials to top posts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In terms of foreign interference India joins\nlist of countries regularly involved in meddling into Sri Lanka\u2019s internal\naffairs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How did Islamic\nterrorism originate?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More important than who are members of Al Qaeda, ISIS or\nany of its associate bodies is the question who created these entities, who\narms them, who trains them and who supports &amp; transports them from one\ncountry to the next to stir trouble. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Isn\u2019t ISIS nothing more than a name change for al-Qaeda?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>9\/11 justified the invasion of Afghanistan in 2001. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Zbigniew Brzezinski Jimmy\nCarter\u2019s National Security Adviser was instrumental in creating the Al Qaeda\nand steered policy against the Afghan government and the Soviet Union. Brzezinski admitted\nin an interview in 1998 and in 2001 to the Le Nouvel Observator that US funded\nAl Qaeda\/Mujahideen 6 months before Soviets invaded Afghanistan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Former Director of Central\nIntelligence Robert Gates in his 1996 memoir admitted that $500 million in\nnonlethal aid was given to Mujahideen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We can all recall Hillary\nClinton\u2019s admission the people we are fighting today we funded them twenty\nyears ago\u2026 and we did it because we were locked in a struggle with the Soviet\nUnion.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Brandon Turbeville claims ISIS is being directed by\nWestern intelligence, the GCC, and Israel that killing of James Mark Foley, US journalist working in Syria was used to justify\naerial bombing of Syria.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tony Cartalucci writes that as early as 2007 \u2013 the\nUnited States has been arming, funding, and supporting the Muslim Brotherhood\nand a myriad of armed terrorist organizations to overthrow the government of\nSyria, fight Hezbollah in Lebanon, and undermine the power and influence of\nIran, which of course includes any other government or group in the MENA region\nfriendly toward Tehran\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He also claims ISIS was harbored on NATO territory,\narmed and funded by US CIA agents with cash and weapons brought in from the\nSaudis, Qataris, and NATO members themselves.

Springmann, chief of the visa section at the\nU.S. Consulate in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, claims that the CIA insisted that the\nconsulate approve visas for Afghanis so that they could travel to the United\nStates and be trained in terrorism so that they could then be sent back to\nAfghanistan to fight the Soviets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Closer to present Kosovo comes to mind and how the Kosovo\nLiberation Army was supported by US &amp; NATO. Is it a surprise Kosovo was\ngiven independence with a massive NATO base inside Kosovo? Michel Chossudovsky\nwrites <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globalresearch.ca\/bill-clinton-worked-hand-in-glove-with-al-qaeda-helped-turn-bosnia-into-militant-islamic-base\/5474094\"><strong>Bill Clinton Worked Hand in Glove with Al Qaeda: Helped Turn Bosnia into\nMilitant Islamic Base<\/strong><\/a>,\u201d\u2026.\nBritish SAS Special Forces in bases in Northern Albania were training the KLA,\nmilitary instructors from Turkey and Afghanistan financed by the Islamic\njihad\u201d \u2013 the US and UK counter terror experts are now in Sri Lanka for what?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The plot to overthrow Gaddafi takes shape in much the\nsame way \u2013 by supporting proxy Islamic groups clothing them as \u2018rebels\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After creating the \u2018extremists\u2019 as \u2018freedom fighters\u2019 and\nhelping fan their extremism the patrons US-UK-NATO next denounce them as \u2018extremists\u2019\nand justify going after them by force sending their troops often illegally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What is bizarre about fighting terrorists created by\ntheir own is that every US-UK-NATO soldier getting killed in all of the\ncountries US\/UK\/NATO stations them are killed by the very terrorists the\nUS-UK-NATO have created, armed and support! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A Fox News\nreport in March 2015 claims one of the alleged leaders of ISIS in North Africa\nis Libyan Abdelhakim Belhadj, who was seen by the U.S. as a willing partner in\nthe overthrow of Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi in 2011.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>\nThe report goes on to say It is clear that the West is not fighting ISIS, but\ninstead, has clearly both created it and is intentionally perpetuating it to help\njustify its military and geopolitical maneuvering across the Middle East and\nNorth Africa (MENA) region, and advance its aspirations toward regional and\nglobal political, military, and economic hegemony.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The next question is where\ndoes Indian intel fit into the scheme of things given that all of the advance\nwarnings have been coming from India? We can all recall how Indian intel\nreferred to LTTE as \u2018our boys\u2019 and functioned virtually with a carte blanch often\nwithout the knowledge or approvals of its government. Let\u2019s hope the same is\nnot being repeated. India must at all times remember that Yugoslavia &amp;\nSoviet Union were fragmented and the balkanization of India is also very much\non the cards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Islamic jihad terrorists have\nfound a great pawn in Muslims &amp; Islam \u2013 rich or poor, ready-made suicide\nbombers are now easy to lure and if Sri Lanka is not to turn into another\nMiddle Eastern theatre, Muslims must help authorities nip every avenue radicalism\nis encouraged because these are the areas that everyone who wishes to pivot to\nSri Lanka taking over its geopolitically significant ports, trade lane access\nwill now eye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Time Sri Lankans learn to look at the larger picture and realize that anyone they elect in future has to be a person who puts country first &amp; not some agent of those creating radical and extremist elements. It is advised to also screen the type of investments, the location &amp; other factors by countries linked to these terror groups. These investments are likely to have bigger agendas in mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Shenali D Waduge<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-wordpress wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-transcend-media-service\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"oFO8yN2zxt\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.transcend.org\/tms\/2018\/04\/a-brief-history-of-the-u-s-relationship-to-jihadists-and-al-qaeda-across-the-world\/\">A Brief History of the U.S. Relationship to Jihadists and al-Qaeda across the World<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"&#8220;A Brief History of the U.S. Relationship to Jihadists and al-Qaeda across the World&#8221; &#8212; TRANSCEND MEDIA SERVICE\" src=\"https:\/\/www.transcend.org\/tms\/2018\/04\/a-brief-history-of-the-u-s-relationship-to-jihadists-and-al-qaeda-across-the-world\/embed\/#?secret=JWQDPPBcSK#?secret=oFO8yN2zxt\" data-secret=\"oFO8yN2zxt\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/fas.org\/sgp\/crs\/mideast\/R43612.pdf\">https:\/\/fas.org\/sgp\/crs\/mideast\/R43612.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.activistpost.com\/2014\/08\/nato-using-foley-and-isis-as-pretext.html\">https:\/\/www.activistpost.com\/2014\/08\/nato-using-foley-and-isis-as-pretext.html<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sri Lanka before regime change had zero terror attacks since 2009, tragically just 4 years after a well-coordinated US-RAW-LTTE-TNA-JVP-UN-US-EU joint regime change over 350 dead on just one day with hundreds more injured or battling for life.
