Will Rajapake Show His True Colours ? – Time for Sri Lanka to Act
Posted on August 18th, 2012
Anuradhini
A golden opportunity has arisen for Sir Lanka to affirm the friendship and show solidarity to a country which voted with us in the bogus UN Human Rights resolution.
Ecuador voted in support of Sri Lanka despite the fact that its North American super power was thrusting this useless intimidating resolution. Would Sri Lanka support that country when it needs that friendship now? This has become an important measure of ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ integrity of international relationshipƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ of RajapaskeƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s elected government.
One simpler hypothetical question will show the whole world whether supporting us in future ventures and dangers would worth the trouble. Supposing India tabled a resolution against Ecuador at the UNƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢sƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ Human Rights Commission. Will Sri Lanka vote against India, the only country other than USA which openly armed and trained terrorist to create havoc in our country?
Sri Lanka should act fast. There is no point waiting.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ Rajapakse should send the strongest possible message to Britain showing its solidarity with Ecuador, whose Foreign Minister repeated the same slogan that RajapakseƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ utters at the opening ceremonies and meetings ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ but in a stronger way. He said, ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ…-We want to be very clear, we are not a British colonyƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ If UK is a human rights champion, this is a case of a man facing death penalty in USA if he is arrested in Britain. This is the very country who is trying to teach us human rights but ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ nakedly not ashamed to storm an foreign embassy to kill a unarmed single civilian. There is no need for bogus commissions, bogus reports, bogus TV advertisements and bogus kindness to human race. Today Birtain wants to break all the international laws in order to kill a single human being in support of its friend in crime USA.
Sri Lankan citizens should also help in organising rallies in Colombo, surrounding British High commission and in many other ways.
“Mr Assange can stay indefinitely in our embassy.”, EcuadorƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s President Correa said.
What wouldƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ Rajapakse say ?ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ Will he show the world that he is a ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ…-VachiparamaƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚ friend onlyƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ or will he grab the opportunity to show solidarity and to attack the white tiger ?

SL should KEEP OUT of this if it comes to a UN confrontation.
What matters is SL interests and going for another confrontation with others is not the right thing to do.
SL should support a way of PEACEFULLY COMPROMISING the positions of Ecuador and UK based on the international law. And Ecuador will love it more than ANY form of confrontation!
Like JR in China-Japan thingy. He didn;t take sides but wished for the peaceful resolution which made both sides happy!
August 18th, 2012 at 5:17 pm
Lorenzo,
It is come to UN, we must vote with Ecuador, not keep out. There is no need to confront. Conforntation should be at public level.
However, Maharaja should not keep quiet, since this is clearly violation of international law. It is our turn to question UK’s bullying,inhuman behaviour.
If we keep out and do not vote, who is going to support us next time ?
Remember, there are many South Americal countries who will take teir side. Even Australia might go against UK on this.
We are not alone.
August 18th, 2012 at 6:51 pm
DHAM !!! I quite agree with you. Ecuador voted in support of Sri Lanka in the UN. If we do not reciprocate Sincerety, it is ashame and definitely not the done thing. UNITED KINGDOM is a damning hypocrite and a Bully. They intend breaking International Law to forcibly enter the Ecudorian Embassy. They seem to be getting out of hand.
Incidentally, there is this Minister of Housing SHOWING HIS TRUE COLOURS. He is getting the Chairman NHDA to load 4000 Roofing Sheets from the Badulla NHDA STORES, which are meant for the POOR PEOPLE OF BADULLA, to be transported to Trincomalee to be given to the Ministers Nominee’s voters free to garner their votes.
What hypocracy is this ? The Housing Minister stealing from the POOR in Badulla, to get his Party Acolyte elected in Trincomalee?? A DISGRACEFUL ACT OF A BORU PATRIOTIC MINISTER. FORTUNATELY, HONOURABLE MINISTER DILAN visited the Stores on spec, and seeing what was happening, immediately stopped the loading of the Roofing Sheets.
THE CHAIRMAN OF THE NHDA SHOULD BE KICKED OUT RIGHT NOW. HE IS AN INVERTEBRATE.
The Elections Commissioner should take serious cogniscance of this issue, and tell the public what he is going to do about it. It is an infringement of Election Regulations. So says Honourable Minister Dilan. Thank you for exposing the BORU PATRIOT.
August 18th, 2012 at 7:40 pm
Yes. I agree. Dis Boru Patriots are everywhere now.
This idiot did not pay any respect to Stanley wehn he visited on an appoinment.
He was signing his BORU Signature using a TRUly expensive pen, according to Stanley. May be a BORU copy of the true pen.
Now he started openly caarying out fraud. This should be stopped. Well done Dilan.

It is sad but true that on the UN Resolution on Syria last month – Sri Lanka voted against our traditional allies Russia, China, Iran, Venezuaela, Cuba etc but voted with our adversaries US, UK. We did not gain anything by doing this but reminded Russia and China et al that we are a bloddy double cross and we cannot be trusted. We should have known who our real frineds are and voted for them, but we did not do that. Those who supported us in Geneva we voted against them on Syria! Even India and Pakistan abstained from voting but we voted in favour of US and UK who won the vote
August 19th, 2012 at 1:41 am
Patriotic to SL or patriotic to Ecuador?
If SL vote against the big bullies they will punish us AGAIN. We have enough trouble from them.
Lets not behave like MEEHARAK in a bull fight and charge at everything RED.
Lets pick and choose the fights we can win.
In bullfights, MEEHARAK are attracted to a red cloth. The matador uses it to kill the beast!!
It is wrong/cruel but it is the reality.
There is another side to this. JA has committed a DESPICABLE crime to a child. Are we going to let him getaway from that crime too?
Tamil terrorists did this same trick. When CID/STF were chasing them, they creep into UK, US embassies and seek asylum! Mudalige/Gunaratnam did the same thing.
SL journalists did this too!! It will boomarang on us again.
Have you come across situations where there is an accident, some idiot will come around and tell you to hit the other man. What will happen if you do? Both will go to hospital and the crook will escape with the valuables of both.
Consider the merits of the SITUATION before jumping into a conclusion.
August 19th, 2012 at 1:43 am
So,Melbourne Patriot, Mahinda Chinthanaya must have given the green light to vote against Syria even though Mahinda Chinthanaya knows very well, how the Western Media can publish lies after lies to get a mountain out of mole hill in favour of their subversive activities . From now on, We Sri Lankan expatriates should not try to protect Rajapakse clan from dragging them into war crime tribunal as they themselves believe what Western media says.
August 19th, 2012 at 1:46 am
AnuD,
Is it wrong?
Look what they did to Syria.
FSA “rebels” (pro-Western cronies) used websites for their subversive propaganda to bring chaos and political instability by plotting secretly with enemies of the Syrian people.
EXACTLY!
August 19th, 2012 at 1:57 am
Lorenzo,
What are you saying ? I would rather be a Meeharaka than be a Zionist plotting whole life to kill others.
I was suspecting that Rajapaksas have been bought over already. I did not know that SL voted with UK, UNSA against Syria.
FSA terrorist are Al-Queda terroists. Nothing new. USA is not killing a single Al_Queda. They did not kill Bin Laden , their man. They themselves created 9/11.
Remeber Qatar, Saudi all of them voted for SL. But we know very well who they are.
Now I can understand your Name. Lorenzo, “Z” for Zion.
August 19th, 2012 at 2:00 am
According to Lorenzo, Rajapakses are now started to giving in. What a silly situation,so, the Western influence has now successfully carried out the REGIME CHANGE without changing the regime. Pariots of this land will not buy that.
August 19th, 2012 at 2:02 am
Dham,
Zionists and anti-Zionists are both racists.
SL should do what is good for SL, not getting into camps and becoming a TOOL in attacking one another.
We are NON ALIGN to BOTH camps.
ALL SANE people voted against the US resolution. Not because of CAMPS.
August 19th, 2012 at 2:07 am
I agree with Neela.
MOST patriots will NOT buy it. It is a VERY unpopular view.
SL is NON ALIGN to BOTH camps and that’s how SL should remain. MIDDLE PATH. No extremes.
As I said before: “SL should support a way of PEACEFULLY COMPROMISING the positions of Ecuador and UK based on the international law. And Ecuador will love it more than ANY form of confrontation!”
August 19th, 2012 at 2:19 am
LorenZo,
Zionist are no racists for the time being. They have no religion no race. Just want to reduce population in the world and want to rule the world enslaving all population. They created holocosut. They created 9/11. They are now covering whole of India, they have sized Indonesia.
If SANE people voted against us , why all SANE people voted against Syiria ? In there , Al-Queda killing thousnad of innocent people to help the Zionist to create the new world government.
Looks like Rajapakses have joined too, if you are correct!
This means they are hoping to become Rajas to enslave us. But stupid Rajas will then be killed, same as kings in Saudi and Qatar.
August 19th, 2012 at 2:20 am
SL did NOT vote at the recent Syria resolution.
SL abstained.
Given the case, I would NOT agree. It is Syria’s INTERNAL problem. We should have voted AGAINST it with Russia, etc. NOT because it is our friends but because IT IS THE RIGHT THING to do!!
See the difference?
If we take SIDES we cannot see the reality.
If we allow JA to escape, SL criminals, Sunday Leader traitors, SF and others who may reveal state secrets, Millinium City traitors, terrorists, hundreds of Gunarathnams ALL will escape by running to the Embassy and we cannot morally defend our action in stopping them.
Think !!
August 19th, 2012 at 2:20 am
Lorenzo,
I agree with middle path. Sideing with US and voting for US is the extreme path.
August 19th, 2012 at 2:21 am

Dham,
Good!
Also follow the KALAMA SUTHRA.
Consider everything ON ITS OWN MERITS and DEMERITS after thinking.
Never follow the “MY FRIEND IS ALWAYS RIGHT” attitude or “my enemy is always wrong attitude”.
Think with neither love/attachment nor hate at NATIONAL level.
I could have easily said “gahapang” and become popular. But what for?
Hope others would agree.
August 19th, 2012 at 2:36 am
Lorenzo,
“Given the case, I would NOT agree. It is Syria’s INTERNAL problem. We should have voted AGAINST it with Russia, etc. NOT because it is our friends but because IT IS THE RIGHT THING to do!! ”
I agree 100%.
But, if a country can storm the embassy, it is not the right thing. We should not vote just because Ecuador is a friend , I agree. But this is 100% crazy. Injustice ! We should not supoort this agressor ! That is all.
August 19th, 2012 at 2:38 am
For example if you want to kill all Tamils I am not going to vote for you just because you are my friend.
August 19th, 2012 at 6:00 am
Storming an embassy should not be supported but handing over someone hiding in an embassy against whom there are pending and actual criminal investigations are there, must be allowed.
Otherwise all the criminals will follow Gunaratnam and Sonali Wickramatunga and SL won’t be able to defend actions to stop them!!
No killing all Tamils or anyother!!
No burning mosques!!
Herd mentality created July 1983. Don’t just follow the herd.
August 19th, 2012 at 12:57 pm
Has the President not shown his true colours in foreign policy decisions?
We do have the most excellent External Affairs “monitor” to have a word in the Presidents ear.
August 19th, 2012 at 1:31 pm
To place into perspective (on foreign policy) a must read
Re-imagining Lakshman Kadirgamar in Contemporary Sri Lanka: A Different Reading

August 19th, 2012 at 7:34 pm
Sorry, looks like I made a mistake by saying Sri Lanka voted in favour of the resolution when it had abstained. That was stratigically ok, but, I think it was still good if we showed moral support to our dear friends China, Russia, Iran, Venezuala, Cuba etc. They are the people who will help us not the bloody westerners. Hope our dear friends are not annoyed with us for what we did.
August 19th, 2012 at 7:56 pm
prez or any other leader cannot fight western based spies. I knew this well. Here is the different. West made of 3 groups of spies and paid by western governments and the run foreign affairs and UN and many local affairs also, run one government in the west. In the west they run all major newspapers tvs radios. tHere is nothing western public can get any true news.
Western spies prepare news for radios tvs and statements read by western politicians, NGOs and other false human rights workers. They have agents in other countries like SL english news papers. western spies prepare news to match the covert of operation of the day, week, month, year or decade.
yesterday were two articles published in lankaweb about sinhalese identity. this two articles prepared by popular defamatory spies and gave to tamil spies or sinhalese spies as part of thousands of covert tricks to force Sinhalese to accept them. British used this trick all across the world and it is used by both Western isrealis branches and British together. Attacking Sinhalese identity is a one of the tools used against sinhalese. It came out immediately after west send Israel to attract india. After indian recognised and promised to recognise British and American as their military partners this identity attack came against sinhalese as part of trick to befriend with india who at time hated British and american because they backing pakistan and kashmere openly since 50s.
therefore, when covert operation move to new phase, they kept ready sl war to switch and turn hindus anger towards britsh and american towards Sinhalese. Then, start defaming hinsdus against sinhalese and start telling hindus ‘we do your favours and support tamill if you sell indian businesses. This how they, western countries bought
india .
Now try to deny Sinhalese identity is have two side one is there is british section who want to feel they have still brtish colony and want to take revenge on Sinhalese. and also, want to switch prez Rajapakze to support then in the intentional operation. Second, is Jews who want Sri lanka to part of same goal.
However, did this barbaric attempt of identity robbery work?. Yes, only with prez Rajapakse. Not with us.
What they repeatedly do is what they did to our great great grand parents and repeatedly attacking our great grant parents.
British and Jews thinks they can win sinhalese By attacking our identity is a greatest bloody joke. British and Jews should know well india, pakistan, afganistan and iran is our ancestral land and sinhalese can free india of foreign business ownership within 48 hours. and can free pakistan and afganistan from western sponsored blood shed.
It is metter of time, Sinhalese can obtain nuclear materiel and submarines
August 19th, 2012 at 8:38 pm
when the tigers ended, Sinhalese thought, sinhalese win a war. what a minute! sinhalese did know it was just a part of western spies covert operation moving from one phase of a war to a new phase. And there were some sinhalese who were opportunistic and cashed vote using anti western slogan and sl ex-pats support to protect SL govts. Also, used war.
I was wanted try to educate sl government and sinhalese that they did not win any war but it is western spies trick to cheat Sinhalese, and need put foundation for a globla agency to counter and sinhalese cannot counter western spies who run wetern govts.
again, I tell How they did it? western spies are the one who program wars around the world and move from one phase to another and continues until whatever set goal are achieved. SL case, Western spies achieved their set goal in the region.
the set goal is, Getting a vast number of tamil citizenship in Australia, Canada, US UK EU and setling vast number of tamil in other countries. THis is a part of economic and military strategy of Western based spies against Sinhalese in the present and for the future .
second, They bought india over 30 year operation and established a large espionage net work in india and in the region under code name ” businesses”
By the rest of business in india and sri lanka is not big deal, for sl, the ‘supper trick’-war crime’ works
prez Rajapackse proved to the world how that work.
For hindus, buying bank of india proposal will come after another bombay attack or muslim minority rights in the UN
or orchestrating attack on hindus in new york or directing pakistan against india.
Now, sl on the hand of western spies . they will direct prez Rajapakse to “invite'” them as “developers” and “educator” “advisor” and they end peaceful sinhale culture by inserting more drug, rape and murder and family break western culture.
they already smuggled western women rape culture into india and sri lanka
August 19th, 2012 at 8:53 pm
Sinhalese in sl have to initiate an intelligent unit, not wait for a government that already control . Sinhales have to prove to western men and women who already have network of spying innocent public tricking them to fall into tricks.
Sinhalese should any western men and women into sinhalese society under present government plan.
Sinhalese do not any western educators or un advisors.
However. I would urge those sinhalese open up fund raising centres in In iran, china middle east south america and even russia. and get ready to build an agency which is ready to take care the region.
August 19th, 2012 at 8:57 pm
LorenZo,
“Storming an embassy should not be supported but handing over someone hiding in an embassy against whom there are pending and actual criminal investigations are there, must be allowed.”
Waht crime JA did ?
I am not going to argure on this point , I KNOW WHO YOU ARE( because I know you are informed well yet …). No one on except misinformed people and another group would agree JA did a crime.
Quote
Political activist Craig Murray, a former British Ambassador whose publications implicated the CIA and MI6 in using evidence obtained through torture, noted that the allegations that Assange was involved in a sexual assault are part of a long list of dubious charges brought against other whistleblowers.
“Unfortunately, there’s a long history of whistleblowers being smeared and charged with crimes unrelated to their whistleblowing, because, obviously, it’s quite difficult for states to convict people for telling the truth about state misdemeanors,” he told RT. “So what you do is you frame them with other charges, very often sexual charges because that destroys the person’s reputation.”
Unquote.
August 20th, 2012 at 12:23 am
Damn,
If JA has not done any crime he need not worry.
JA has done MANY crimes.
Don’t support criminals.
I know who you are!! Be careful of supporting criminals. :))
August 20th, 2012 at 12:29 am
If it ever comes to UN, SL should never follow the “MY FRIEND IS ALWAYS RIGHT” attitude or “my enemy is always wrong attitude”.
August 20th, 2012 at 1:47 am
The writers of those 30 responses to this article are regulars to this web site and it is upsetting to see attacks on one another.Although most of us support the Rajapaksa regime for saving the country from the LTTE scum, we should not blindly support every thing the government does.There are many short comings, bribery, corruption, waste, foreign policy blunders made by this government and it is always good to see some constructive criticism. Although it not 5 star we still have democracy in our country, better than what we see in England and the USA today.
August 20th, 2012 at 2:39 am
Sarath W,
Not all. Apart from the digression, there is substance in it.
“Although most of us support the Rajapaksa regime for saving the country from the LTTE scum, we should not blindly support every thing the government does.”
This is exactly what I’ve been telling to do in the INTERNATIONAL ARENA.
SL should never follow the “MY FRIEND IS ALWAYS RIGHT” attitude or “my enemy is always wrong attitude”.
Take on matters in their OWN MERIT.
August 20th, 2012 at 4:06 am
LorenZo,
Tell me what crimes he did with factual data is you can.
If not, accept what you are don’t throw names like coward.
August 21st, 2012 at 3:49 am
if we abstain in such a crucial vote for china and russia, what if they abstain in our next crucial vote? no one will be in our camp if we desert our friends in their hour of need
August 21st, 2012 at 2:20 pm
MP,
REAL friends do what is right.
e.g. If A and B are friends and A tells B to help him do something B doesn’t really find RIGHT, B can tell A and A will UNDERSTAND.
I don’t think CHINA will support JA at the UN because China faces SIMILAR events on Tibet.
Russia supports JA but is reluctant to give JA refuge!
Ecuador and USA have extradition treaties since 1872 so JA will not be safe in Ecuador.
SL and US from 1999 onwards.
If Russia or China accept him then there is great chance of survival.
It is better to give him a FAIR TRIAL in Sweden and he faces it and clear his name without running from country to country.
Like we did with Syria, we should abstain from voting at UN. Otherwise US and Indian blood hounds will come after us. If we support it, Tamil Tigers and Malaka Silvas will start jumping embassy walls to safety instead of taking boats and we look like real hypocrites trying to stop them. Catch 22.
August 22nd, 2012 at 6:17 am
Russia supports JA but is reluctant to give JA refuge! – rubbish !
JA did not go to Russian Embassy. Being and Australian he probably does not trust Russia.
Ecuador and USA have extradition treaties since 1872 so JA will not be safe in Ecuador. – rubbish again !
Ecuador knows what to do. They made it clear. They don’t support every act of JA, but they will protect whistle blowers.
Like we did with Syria, we should abstain from voting at UN. Otherwise US and Indian blood hounds will come after us.- rubbish again and again – what a corrupt mind ?
Saudi, Doha supported Sri Lanka. Is US going after them ?
