MOCK MOCK\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Asoka\nWeerasinghe-AW) Who is there?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Hanspeter\nMock -HPM) It\u2019s Hanspeter\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

(AW)  Hanspeter\nwho\u2026?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

(HPM)\nIt\u2019s Hanspeter..the diplomat … from\nthe Alps\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

(AW) Ah..No\u2026 Are you the Swiss Diplomat, who loved putting his<\/em> finger into Swiss chocolate fondue, and lick it…and being nosey tried a<\/em> foreign country\u2019s fondue,and put his finger in a Sri Lankan GBF Chilli Hot Curry<\/em> fondue, got his finger stuck and got it burnt…Ouch!.\u00a0 What was that all<\/em> about, Hanspeter Diplomat from the Alps?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

(HPM)\nI don\u2019t understand what you are getting\nat. You are talking in riddles.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why aren\u2019t you being direct and ask\nme what you really want to know from me. \nStop playing games with me, I have little time for that!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

(AW)\nOh, Goody! Now that you’ve opened a\nwindow for me, I will talk straight to<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You. I will huff and I will puff\nthrough your open window and blow away your Swiss cunning, lying, arrogance,\ncondescension and of pretence that We are Holier than Thou\u201d attitude towards\nmy historic Sri Lanka, that was under colonial rule for 450 years, by the\nPortuguese, Dutch and the British.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I want you to read-listen to me, as\nthis will give you some insight about my Motherland, Sri Lanka, which you know\nsweet nothing about.  I am not charging<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You even one Swiss franc for this\ninduction lesson.  It is free to you, as\nyou seem interested in, and got involved in a nasty spat with the Sri Lankan\nGovernment.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You could edit and reboot your\nknowledge about Sri Lanka before you open your mouth next time about my\nMotherland, and looking a blithering \nDiplo-mutt, and embarrassing yourself and your country.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I know you were crying for Sri\nLankan minorities, asking the Government to treat<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

them well. I tell you Swiss Diplomat,\n\u2018Don\u2019t you cry for the Sri Lankan Tamils.\u2019 \nThey were the most \u2018PRIVILEGED\u2019\nminority (10%) that were in the world for 131 British colonial rule, and years\nbeyond Independence in 1948.  <\/strong>And the\nSinhalese (I amone of them) who were the \u2018WRONGED\u2019 Majority (75%) during\nthe British divide-and-rule policy for 131 years.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was a case of, …if you are White, you are alright, if you\nare a Tamil-dark, we will treat you as a bright spark, but if you are a\nSinhalese-brown, you can stick<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

around, if\nyou want to as we don\u2019t  care.  Right, Hanspeter?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And you Swiss cried for the Tamil\nminority.  But hell, Hanspeter, did you\nnot know that the very early Missionary schools were established in the North\nof the island, to provide the Tamils a handicap, to become a school-based\nPRIVILEGED minority.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Missionaries who started to\narrive from 1812 were able to increase their schools, particularly in the\nJaffna\u2019s North District  within a very\nshort time.  The Baptists had 126\nschools, Wesleyans 81, the Church Mission 36, the American Mission 96, and the\nRoman Catholics had 61 throughout Ceylon. \nBut the majority of schools were opened in the Tamil Jaffna District.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Were you\naware of all this? <\/em><\/strong>Na!  Of course you wouldn\u2019t, as you Humbug-guys in\nthe West shy away from the truth, in case it gives the Sinhalee community the\nfactual advantage over the Tamils. Right! Hanspeter?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are the  \u2018Asoka Weerasinghe-Facts\u2019<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The oldest established Missionary Schools after the British colonized the puny<\/em> Island in the Indian Ocean, Ceylon,\u00a0 was in the Jaffna District in the North.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. \u00a0Union College <\/em><\/strong>in Tellipalai founded in 1816.\u00a0 A Christian College with\u00a0Rev. Daniel Poor as its Principal;<\/em><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
    •  Jaffna Central\nCollege, e<\/em><\/strong>stablished in October\n1817, a Wesleyan<\/em><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

       Methodist College;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      • \u00a0St.John\u2019s College<\/em><\/strong>, established in 1823, by the Church Mission Society of\u00a0the Anglican Church;<\/em><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
        • \u00a0Jaffna College, <\/em><\/strong>established in Vaddukoddai in 1823, by the American\u00a0Ceylon Mission;<\/em><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
          •  Uduvil Girls College, <\/em><\/strong>established in 1824, by the American Ceylon Mission,<\/em><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

              It was situated in an abandoned Franciscan\nMission built by the Portuguese; <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

            • \u00a0\u00a0Vembadi Girls High School<\/strong> founded in 1834, by the Wesleyan Methodist\u00a0 Mission;<\/em><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
              • \u00a0\u00a0Hartley College<\/strong>, originally named the Wesleyan Mission Central School, \u00a0 Established in Point Pedro in 1838, and so forth.<\/em><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                And you cry and belly ache for Sri Lanka\u2019s minority Tamils,\u00a0 That is a load of rotting\u00a0Branzino,\u00a0 isn\u2019t it.\u00a0 And you Swiss had the gall, temerity and arrogance, to<\/em> tell President Gotabaya Rajapaksa and his new Government what you Swiss Government expect of him how to govern his country, especially when Sri Lanka was not your colony. Ha! Let\u2019s get this right into our thick skulls, Hanspeter.\u00a0 Come on, you Diplomat, go, chill yourself with your Foreigtn Ministry buddies in Berne by sitting on the Grand Aletsch Glacier<\/strong> with bare bottoms to cool off and take a deep breath, and breathe In, so you are calm, and breathe Out and be peaceful.\u00a0 What a waste of a bucket of Swiss tears for a community of PRIVILEGED Tamil minority, who claim that they are being discriminated and persecuted in Sri Lanka.\u00a0 All that is poppycock!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                Do you know what, Hanspeter, your Switzerland having joined the International<\/em> Western Mafia Consortium wanting to hurt President Gotabaya Rajapaksa and his new government, will not cut mustard nor hold water as there is a hole in your \u2018Made<\/em> in Switzerland\u2019 bucket. There’s a hole in your bucket, Hanspeter, Hanspeter…there is<\/em> a hole in your bucket, Hanspeter.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                Well, Hanspeter\u00a0 while on the theme of schools, here’s another \u2018Asoka Weerasinghe Fact\u2019<\/strong>, which will really shoot down the yellow belly aching separatist Tamil complains that they are being discriminated by the majority Sinhalese and foolish-you had got sucked into, hook, line and sinker.\u00a0 Not smart for a Western<\/em> Diplomat who thinks  he, of Swiss origin, is the next best\ncreation after a slice of brown bread, isn\u2019t it!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n


                \nIn 1983, when the Tamil separatist insurrection started wanting their\nmono-ethnic, racist, Tamil State, Eelam, carved out of one-third of the prime\nreal-estate in the North, bordered by 66% of the coast line, the The Tamil Jaffna District had 555\ngovernment schools for a student population of 207,524, and the capital city\nColombo in the West had only 251 such schools for 231,690 students.  <\/strong>And this would blow your mind, as 41% \nof these Jaffna District schools had government-approved science\nlaboratories compared to an island average of 19.6%.<\/strong>  And you cried for this bunch of PRIVILEGED <\/strong>minority Tamils.  What a waste of a bucket of Swiss tears.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                Do I notice your face turning a\n50-shades of red as if a lobster doing its death-dance in a  pot of boiling water with embarrassment. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                Well..you can cry if you want to\nfor  the PRIVILEGED minority Tamils of\nSri Lanka,<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                but let me ask you one last question\nbefore I share my observations about the Swiss Embassy saga, to find out\nwhether you really know what the heck you are crying for.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                The question is a simple one. Do you\nknow who the three top administrators of Sri Lanka, AuditorGeneral, Inspector\nGeneral of Police and the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court were when the\nriots happened in Colombo on July 23, 1983. \nI will make it a bit easier for you. \nWere they from the majority Sinhalese or from the minority Tamil, Muslim\nand Burgher communities?  <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                Come on…Spit out the answer Hanspeter.\u00a0 Your briefing notes from your Foreign Ministry should have provided you with that bit of information when you were posted<\/em> to Colombo.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                Well…here they are Hansperter.\u00a0 If they were all Sinhalese from the 74% of the population, thus ignoring the minority communities,\u00a0 these communities may have had a good reason to belly ache.\u00a0 Well, Hansperter, strap yourself to your chair, in\u2019<\/em> case you fall in disbelief.\u00a0 All three were from the Tamil minority community from the North. The community that you are crying for and asking the present Gotabaya\u00a0 Rajapaksa government to treat the minority communities well.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                When the July 23, 1983, riots\nhappened, Sri Lanka\u2019s Auditor General was Siva\nPasupathi<\/strong>, a Tamil; the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court was S. Sharvananda <\/strong>another Tamil from the\nminority community, and the Inspector General of Police was<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                Rudra\nRajasinhgham,<\/em><\/strong> from the PRIVILEGE minor\nTamil community!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                Hello! Hanspeter, did you know\nthat?  I cannot see how you Swiss in Bern\nequate this to discrimination having been successfully brainwashed by the\nseparatist Tamil Diaspora who are coming to you as refugees.  And you Swiss Human Rights bleeding hearts\ngot it all wrong and mutated yourselves into a bunch of Suckers.  Didn\u2019t I tell you that they were the\nPRIVILEGED  minority,  compared to the WRONGED majority, the\nSinhalese community.  Hanspeter, you may\ncry for the Tamil community if you want to, as it would be a good reason for me\nto Mock at you saying Ha! Ha! Ha!!!  This\nis embarrassing, isn\u2019t it?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                Let me\nchange gears and share with you my observations of the foolish Saga at the\nSwiss Embassy in Colombo. The theatrics were pitiful and poor. I knew that the\nstoryline was going to bite you and hard along the way, and you will be wiping\negg yolk from your face very soon. The plot was insane and the script was fit\nfor a drama group of fools who would perform a Modern Swiss Tamil-Blarney Gong\nShow with props like a Swiss ambulance plane with a red cross painted outside\nof it. And a bad choice by the Casting Director for the lead character, the\nHallucinating woman staffer.  The\nSwitzerland National School of Drama would have given you all a F\u201d for your\nDiplomatic creativity.  How stupid can a\nDiplomat be.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                I was intrigued\nto read what your colleagues in Bern had said that, as an employer that you\nwill do everything in your power to assist the member of the staff concerned.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                That\nstatement was quite honourable Bern, but you all had missed the\nbacklash-clause, that if and when it happens to be an act of collusion, the act\nwill be chalked as one of Diplomatic moronic-dishonesty.  So Bern, you certainly got Burnt, a B<\/em><\/strong>ig tectonic shift in\nyour neutrality, didn\u2019t you?  And your\nveiled threats and innuendos against the sovereign state of Sri Lanka, and she\nhappened to be my Motherland,  didn\u2019t cut\nMustard, even those  produced in\nWettingen where you boast of fields of yellow mustard blossoms in May.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                Your Bern also stated that Sri Lanka\u2019s reputation as a country that upholds\nthe rule of law is at stake.\u201d <\/strong>   Phew! Hanspeter, see who’s talking.  You guys are not so lilly-white at all that\nyou think you are.  This arrogant,\ncondescending statement coming from a country whose judiciary has just ruled\nthat the LTTE (aka Tamil Tigers) who was proclaimed by the UN as the most\ndangerous Terrorist organization in the world (eat your heart out Al Qaeda), is\nnot a criminal organization.\u201d You guys in Bern are nuts.   A country that profited from World War\nII.  Although selling yourselves to the\nworld to be \u2018neutral\u2019, you all did an impressive business with Nazi Germany,\nholding even the gold from the of Holocast victims teeth.  Your country, Hanspeter was an embarrassment\nin the world during the post-war years having to face legal charges in the\n1990s, for having plyed a role as the major hub for the sale and transfer of\nNazi-looted priceless art during World War II, and other stolen property.  <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                You are no Babes in the Berna Woods.\nIt is time that you all come down from your high-horses and be humble for a\nchange and admit that you were \nwrong..wrong..wrong trying to undermine the dignity and integrity of the\nnewly elected  Government.  The Gotabaya Rajapaksa Government was elected\nby the people and the people have made their choice and Switzerland has no\nbusiness to poke its fingers into Sri Lanka\u2019s pie.  Ask your people in Bern to back off,\nHanspeter.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                Let me share some thoughts about\nPresident Gotabaya Rajapaksa, before I conclude this letter.  I know you Swiss and most of the western\ncountries, hate his guts, hate his gumption, for leading a team of brave and\ncourageous  women and men of the armed\nforces who ended the 30-year bloody war with the separatist Tamil Tigers, by\nkicking their butts, made them run for cover until their leader, Velupillai\nPrabhakaran was downed on the sands of the Nandikadal lagoon, in Mullaitivu, in\nthe east of the island  having been\nshot  by a bullet through the forehead,\non 19 May 2009.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                And this end meant that President\nGotabaya as the Defence Secretary , and his brave team, gave back the right-to-life <\/strong>to 20.5 million of their\npeople which had been hijacked for 30-years by the Tamil Tigers, who were aided\nand abetted by several western nations, including Canada where I am domiciled,\nand India, who had perfected the suicide body pack used by human bombs. None of\nthe western countries, including your government had acknowledged this act of\nhumanitarianism showing their honesty, but only showed their disingenuous\nhypocrisy and that they are cruel Humbugs.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                President Gotabaya Rajapaksa and his\nvaliant armed forces personnel made a Historic Classic Military Text Book entry\nwhen they rescued 295,873 Tamil refugees who were used as a human shield by the\nTamil Tigers, who you now consider not to be a terrorist organization\u201d, who\nwere marched for 30 months from the west to the east coast like a herd of\nunwashed cattle, under a scorching Jaffna-Killinochchi sun,<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                and rescued from the clutches of the\nTamil Tiger terrorists.  And not a single\nwestern country nor the UN in Geneva had the honesty, decency, courage, and\nguts, to recognize this amazing rescue mission in a War Theatre.  That shows the West being hypocritical\nSinhalese blood-dripping Humbugs.  Shame\non every one of you,<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                Well the Sri Lankan forces who rescued\n295,873 Tamil refugees could have bumped them off easily, but they didn’t.  You know what they did to these refugees\nHanspeter?  They were housed in temporary\nrefugee camps and prepared a million meals – \nDietitian-controlled hearty breakfasts, lunches and dinners every day,<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                And some of the soldiers turned\ntemporary Chefs to feed these Tamil refugees. \nA Himalayan task, but they did it. And they didn\u2019t care two Swiss francs\nwhat you Swiss think or thought about it. They did what they had to do, to keep\nthese Tamil refugees alive and give back and assure them of their right-to-life.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                So your colleagues in Bern had very\nlittle to say about this amazing Rescue Mission of the Tamil refugees.  Shame on every one of you.  It shows the true colours when you all try\nyour arrogant bullying and shenanigans. \nSri Lanka doesn\u2019t need that crap, Hanspeter.  They don\u2019t, specially the West-generated\ncrap, including that of your Switzerland.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                And here is a reality check for you\nand your smart Diplomatic colleagues in Bern.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                If the nefarious story of the\nabduction of a local staff member in your Swiss Embassy in a white-van, was to\ndiscredit President Gotabaya Rajapaksa by spreading misinformation and slinging\nmud at his leadership, you all were taking on every Sri Lankan Mother of a\nschool going child prior to 2009, who was thankful and think a world of\nPresident Gotabaya. They will swear that he was their child\u2019s Guardian Angel\nwho saved their lives by getting rid of the Tamil Tiger menace.  These are the Mothers who stood at the front\ndoor of their homes from Monday to Friday between 1:00 o\u2019clock and 2:30 in the\nafternoon, looking deep into the approaching road to their homes, praying that\ntheir child will come home from school in one piece and not in a plywood box,\nas a puzzle of a head, limbs, flesh, blood and bones being blown to smithereens\nby a Tamil Tiger claymore mine.  You\nharass their President Gotabaya and you will have to deal with their wrath,\ntheir anger, and their curse saying Pox to you all\u201d  So, I tell you, Hanspeter, use your wisdom if\nthere is any left by now, after your Act of this dishonest Hoax.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                After getting eggs on your face,\nwith your stupid Swiss theatrics, be judicious when dealing with Sri Lanka with\nanother creative hoax. Doesn\u2019t look good for you lot in Bern. Bern you have\nburnt your britches. And I hope you all have learnt your lesson the hard way\ntrying to overwhelm Sri Lanka with your bad-ass diplomatic onslaught.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                It hasn\u2019t worked Hanspeter.  <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                Ask your Diplomats to come down from\ntheir high-horses, as their arrogance only tickled Sri Lanka\u2019s  peoples, Diplomats and Intelligence\npersonnel. You all will be smart if you admit to your brutal ridiculous folly and\ndon\u2019t undermine Sri Lanka\u2019s present President Gotabaya Rajapaksa\u2019s intelligence\nand his advisors and his Foreign Secretary, Ambassador  Ravinatha Ariyasinha, who is bright as a star\non top of a Swiss Christmas tree. Be humble now that you all have been\nhumiliated and revert to your innocence of that of the Sound of Music<\/strong> that you once knew;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                \u2018My day in the hills<\/em><\/strong>
                Has come to an end, I know<\/em><\/strong>
                A star has come out<\/em><\/strong>
                To tell me it’s time to go\u2026.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                I go to the hills when my heart is lonely<\/em><\/strong>
                I know I will hear what I’ve heard before<\/em><\/strong>
                My heart will be blessed with the sound of music<\/em><\/strong>
                And I\u2019ll sing once more\u2026<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                I wish you a better year in 2020, and\nI wish you wisdom.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                May you be Happy, May you be Well and\nMay you enjoy Inner-peace.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                I wish you Shanthi..shanthi…shanthi<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
