Ranil, Chandrika and the West  played a confidence trick on Sirisena.  Chandrtika knew Sirisena as  an easy bait  who could be made to dance to her tune.  She  gave him few lessons on back stabbing and Sirisena fell to the proposed plan like a gullible sucker. Ranil, Chndrika, Rajitha, Mangala knew that Sirisena was the ideal man who will swallow their bait to present himself as the President of Sri Lanka, when he was hardly able to speak up, as he said, for his rights under  the President Mahinda Rajapakse.

In addition the tricksters  were planning to remove the executive power of the president, and knew by doing that  they could relegate Maithripala to a corner while Ranil  and Chandrika with their Western masters would be able to do as they want without having to bother about a nominal President a  gullible sucker who will be happy smiling, shaking hands and making speeches.

Ranil is already experienced in that type of work, having been the Prime Miister under Chandrika. He did not care two hoots for President Chandrika, and Ranil the Prime Minister  took over Presidential powers, signing  the CFA with Prabhakaran dooming Sri Lanka to almost never ending terrorism, and going to the Whitehouse to meet George Bush.

Since he became the President Sirisena- the sucker  has done next to nothing other than assisting Prime Minister Ranil Wickramasinghe to take revenge on the former President Rajapakse to  fulfil Ranil’s desire to keep the field free from Rajapakse’s to assure his Presidential ambition in 2020.

What has this sucker President Sirsena done  so far.  He cannot do any thing on his own as he is strictly under the control of Ranil and Chandrika.  To begin with he appointed his guarding angel Ranil, the Prime Minister. Sirisena helped Ra     nil to  dismiss the Chief Justice  Mohan Pieris, re appoint Shirani Bandaranaike as the Chief Justice, and  make her resign from the Office, to appoint K.Sripavan a Tamil for the purpose of reconciliation with the LTTE Tamil diaspora, but not with the Tamils in Sri Lanka.

The realisation of USA and Western Agenda in Sri Lanka depends  on to the extent they please the Tamil Diaspora  Therefore, Ranil and Chandrika made Sirisena take all those actions completely in breach of the Constitution of Sri Lanka to please the USA and the West.  As much as Ranil and Chandrika are grateful to USA and the West in giving them a hand for the regime change in Sri Lana, the sucker Sirisena is grateful to Ranil and Chandrika for making a President out of him.

Ranil Wickramasinghe is a law unto himself and knows that the USA and the West is with him and treats Sirisena as a dumbo.  Sirisena  makes speeches and promises things and Ranil and his UNP cabinet turns their backs to him and do what they think is right.  What part did Sirisena play in the recent Budget of Ravi Karunanayake ?  Sirisena had no say in it ? Even if he had Ranil would not have listened to him.  Sirisena if he has any plan , he would like to implement, he has he has no one in the Parliament to give him a hand.

But it was Ranil who kept changing the Budget Presented by Ravi Karunanayake until it became unrecognisable even by the Finance Minister himself. Now Ranil and Chandrika are trying to find ways out to fix the balance of payment,  even if it were to  sell out  Sri Lanka to USA and the West.

By the way what was the mid term plan of Ranil Wickramasinghe ?

Sirisena had no hand in its preparation, and the report was one Ranil had prepared in 2002.  There is nothing new or innovative in it, other than make Sri Lanka dependent  to USA and the West.

After the Bond Scam Sirisena asked Ranil Wickramasinghe to remove the governor of the Bank- Arjuna Mahendran , and Ranil turned him a deaf ear and the Governor of the Central bank remains the same swindler that he was.  He- the Governor of the Central Bank now invites Saudi Arabia to set up an oil refinery, hope it is not another stunt of his to swindle additional bakshis from Saudi Arabia..

Sri Lanka has been turned topsy-turvy by Ranil and his UNP goons in Parliament.  Sirisena himself had no hand in it, as Ranil and Chandrika would not share their political secrets with Sirisena, because they too do not have confidence in Sirisena. The sucker he is, Sirisena, cannot imagine what has happened to him.

He is always packed out of the country to attend world conferences abroad, where he has not contributed any thing for the world to take notice.  He was not anywhere near the Western leaders at the Conferences who make their own group whether at the CHOGM in Malta or at the World Climate change Conference in France.  In the group photographs taken Sirisena is seen with the African leaders far away from the USA and Western leaders who take the Centre stage.

The representatives of USA and  the West just shake hands and make a passing word of flattery which keeps Sirisena happy and satisfied.  He comes backs to Sri Lanka after the conferences to find that Ravi Karunanayake  with the support of Ranil Wickramasinghe has taken steps to sell the country to the foreign investors.

UN Personnel and USA  Agents make themselves quite at home examining the Naval Camps and preparing the handing over of the North and East  for a Tamil administration.   Sirisena has already become a dummy. He is happy  because ignorance is bliss when he does not know what exactly is going on behind his back.

Latest information that Sirisena is perhaps unaware,  is what was discussed at a recent meeting Ranil is said to have had with Chandrika some where in London.  They are said to have discussed Sirisena the President without executive powers and what the devolution packet to the Tamils in the north is going to be.

President Sirisena when he left SLFP having back stabbed his leader, to make his  midnight flight to the bossom of Chandrika and Ranil to be their common Presidential Candidate,  to make his escape reasonable in the eyes of the public came out with the story that if he were to loose  the Presidential election he and his family would be six feet underground in a secret cemetery.  With  that he made the people understand the  criminal tendency of the Rajapakse regime. Some of the people may have believed , as Maithripala was for 47 years in the SLFP along with Mahinda Rajapakse

However a majority of the people would  not have believed that as Mahinda Rajapakse had no criminal  disposition.  On the other hand he stopped terrorism and underworld Criminality at least to a certain extent. There were no scandals and commission like those of Batalanda torture camps against Rajapakses’  The White Van culture was a hoax of the UNP to discredit the Armed Forces and the Defence Secretary of Sri Lanka.  If there was one it was not sponsored by the Rajapakse Regime but it was and is still being used by the UNP and anti Mahibda Rajapakse elements to project an Image of Rajapakse Government to please the west.  JVP who are well known for their Stalinist criminal beginning,  white wash themselves with such stories against the government of Mahinda Rajapakse. The people would not believe JVP as they were with Mahind Rajapakse at the beginning, and left thinking that they had gained enough popularity to get peoples’ votes to form a government of their own.

Sirisena is often packed off to make his speeches at international forums.  His first speech at the UNO was a very sad drill of trying to give the world an insight into Buddhist teachings as a means to achieve peace in a world in the throes of  human conflict. It had certainly  been written by a Christian.  It does not even speak of the  teachings of the Buddha, but about  Buddhist ethos:

As we learn from the Buddhist ethos prevalent in Sri Lanka, I recognize there are three kinds of human conflicts.The first is the conflict between the human being and nature. We are constantly engaged in this conflict in order to enjoy material comforts in life.  As a result, modern human beings seek to exploit natural resources extensively in the name of development. The second is the conflict between ‘human’ and ‘human’. Such conflicts occur among individuals, among communities and among nations. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights affirms that such conflicts occur when human rights are not protected by rule of law.

The third is the conflict within the human being.  The two kinds of conflict I mentioned earlier occur when we lose the battle within us as human beings. Therefore, this is the root cause of all conflicts ”

Sirisena may not have  listened to Dhamma as he should have, because he had a mind   scheming and planning for his own egoist political ambition of cutting the throat of  his  leader to take his place.  He once said that, when he is at home he is distressed  he does not know  what to do,  and stay thinking lying in his bed for hours .  His wife and children came to him and said, papa do not  worry what ever you do we will stand by you.”

However, his Christmas greetings sound hollow, Christmas symbolizes the birth of Jesus Christ who assumed a powerful voice, teaching us lessons of kindness and charity that have lasted for more than 2000 years. The Christian message of humanity, love to all beings and humility is seen in the birth of Christ taking place in a stable shared by animals and his first worshipers being humble shepherds.”

For Sirisena , The philosophy of the Prophet Muhammad is an example not only for the Islamic devotees, but also for the entire nation.”  How much of it does Sirisena really know ?  Apparently  from what he had done to completely upset a smoothly working development process in Sri Lanka , he seems to have not grasped the fundamentals of Buddhist philosophy

He makes speeches  and says what he wants to do but, it is not he who decides  it is Ranil and Chandrika who finally take decisions.  Sirisena said nothing directly on the very controversial budget presented by Ranil and Ravi Karunanayake.  But he grunted in places that, .. he would not allow foreign companies to enter into Gem Mining industry in Sri Lanka.”  Sirisena proposes but Ranil and Chandrika dispose.

President Sirisena, who helps Ranil and Chandrika to sell Sri Lanka to foreign interests has said ,  … without abusing the freedom of expression provided to talk in Parliament and through media today, they should use it to promote peace, harmony and reconciliation by shunning petty party politics. They should rally around to work towards progress and eradication of poverty and to ensure that there would not be another war in this country.”

Sirisena has probably not heard what the opposition to UNP and Yahapalanaya is  speaking out using at least the freedom to talk freely in parliament.

Sirisena speaking to the Scouts had said, …how discipline learned as a scout during his school days has helped him to carry out the responsibilities as Sri Lanka’s President.”

One can now understand how his discipline has still not risen above what it was when he was a scout. First when he joined the enemies of his political party,  and then acting in  breach of  the Constitution on Several occasions after he became the President, he broke the first duty of a scout, duty to God and country.  In  writing a  letter to Mahinda Rajapaksa to say that even if he were to win the election he would not be made the Prime Minister, he broke the second duty of a Scout – the duty to other people. Duty to self the third duty of a Scout is for him not to do what he professed others not to do, which Sirisena broke openly in taking his son to UN, allowing his daughter to represent him at state functions, and promoting nepotism.

Sirisena who played all tricks he could think of to  keep Mahinda Rajapakse away from politics, behaving in a very distasteful manner a President should not have behaved, now says in an interview to Sunday Lanka Deepa, I will not retire from politics. Politicians cannot retire from their social engagements. It is true that the Executive Presidency will be abolished. We will make strong and comprehensive measures in that direction. But that does not mean that I will retire from politics after abolition of Executive Presidency .”

This is probably some thing prompted to him by Ranil-Chandrika duo.  By doing that they can keep Mahinda Rajapakse from being a probable Prime Minister, or it may be Sirisena’s fear that he will be put six feet under ground in an unknown place.

What a hypocrite is Maithripala Sirisena ?  People should not give him even a vote at any future election.

Another one of his proposals is to stop concerts where Sri Lankan culture and morals are destroyed by foreign artistes..  In the mean time Maithripala Sirisena has managed to stop the Finance Minister Ravi Karunanayake of money laundering fame, from making another scandalous deal, A Cabinet Paper forwarded by Minister of Finance, Ravi Karunanayake, seeking Cabinet approval to compensate an individual, paying Rs 300 million from government coffers was put on hold by President Maithripala Sirisena during the Cabinet meeting on Wednesday (23), December, 2015.”

In the mean  time the Tamils  racist politicians in the North praise President Maithripala Sirisena, …. Recently, the Chairman of the Northern Provincial Council praised President Maithripala Sirisena and expressed his gratitude on behalf of the Northern Provincial Council, for lashing out at the racist views from the South and expressing his desire towards expediting the resettlement process in the Northern Province.”  He has switched the racial views, allowing the Tamil politicians of the North call the Sinhala south the racists.

Ranil and Chandrika have squeezed away from Maithripala Sirisena all the powers of  a real President, and soon he will be reduced to a decoration pushed into a corner, with Ranil  his UNP goons and Chandrika taking the centre stage. The slithery eel Nimal Sirispala de Silva is now making noises to attract the attention of Ranil and Chandrika.

It is the story of the Fox and the Crow: A fox was walking through the forest when he saw a crow sitting on a tree branch with a fine piece of cheese in her beak. The fox wanted the cheese and……..
