Call to all Patriotic Citizens of this country to read the following news item, if you have not already seen this continuous Neo-colonial threats.

Please look at the following undiplomatic and uncalled-for absurd press release by the so-called Diplomatic community

Diplomatic community concerned over MR returning

Sunday Leader 20.2.2018

By Easwaran Rutnam

”The diplomatic community is concerned over the possibility of former President Mahinda Rajapaksa returning to power in the near future.

Western diplomats are believed to have raised their concerns with the Government and among the diplomatic community.

The concerns arise from steps taken by President Maithripala Sirisena to have talks with the joint opposition to form a United People’s Freedom Alliance (UPFA) Government.

There are fears that if a UPFA Government is formed it will set the path for the return of Rajapaksa to power.

The Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) led by Rajapaksa, which won the Local Government (LG) elections last week, has already called for early Parliament elections.

The SLPP has said it will support the President to bring the required amendments in Parliament to the 19th Amendment to allow the holding of early Parliament elections.

The United States, United Kingdom and EU member countries are concerned the human rights situation in Sri Lanka will return to its dark days if Rajapaksa is allowed to return to power.

Rajapaksa’s return to power could also see Sri Lanka once again lose the EU GSP plus trade concession in the event a Rajapaksa-led administration refuses to comply with the EU conventions related to human rights which the unity-Government followed in order to regain GSP plus.’

I do not propose to comment at length on the above as it is self- explanatory. However I would like to add few observations and some salt and spices for my readers benefit.

What is the role of a Diplomat of a country?

An Ambassador is an honest man sent to lie abroad for the commonwealth” so said Sir Henry Watton (1604) This may be true in an age where every nation was considered equal and diplomatic relations were maintained for mutual benefits and not for exploitation, unlike at present, an age of three dimensional war fare, where such relationships are maintained by powerful nations for one purpose and the poor for another. The powerful and rich, strictly wedded to the notion of the survival of the fittest, maintain it for keeping the week under subjugation and for exploitation through political, economic and military maneuvering. They want all smaller nations to dance according to their tunes and succumb to their dictates like a pack of meek vassals. The only country that resisted it successfully in modern times was Cuba.

Colonial powers made us poorer and destitute

Almost all smaller and less powerful nations, made poorer and destitute by the same colonial invaders for centuries, on the other hand maintain their relationships for subservience and begging at the door steps of colonial agencies like the World Bank, UN, UNICEF, FAO and ADB etc to name a few. Sri Lanka has turned out to be a classic example of this model under the present regime headed by naïve and servile leadership. During the period of colonial expansion they just invaded with the power of the gun and the sword, brutally shot and slaughtered the natives, set fire to their properties, destroyed by arson or poison and brought those who escaped their sword and gun, under their iron booted hegemonies and exploited everything that came within the invaders grip and took home to build their own Empires. Even today they do the same thing through lessor discernible and subversive methods and by destroying local patriotic leadership. This is exactly what they did in Libya, Iraq, Yugoslavia and many other places all over the globe, as if they were sent by God to kill murder and destroy all those who are not theirs. Isn’t it the same technique they are adopting in this country even at present?

2015 Conspiracies

First they removed Mahinda Rajapaksa who defeated the most dangerous and savages terrorist outfit the world ever had, the LTTE, which ran their de facto EELAM for 30 long years with their own armed forces including Air power as well and their Courts, banks, with their own currency, taxing system and administrative machinery. They also exerted their power to save the Tigers in 2015 who committed murder, arson, anarchy and disaster.

The recent Local Government election results clearly demonstrated the absolute failure of the puppet regime installed by them in Jan and August 2015 to meet even the basic needs apart from their cherished aspirations as an Independent and a sovereign nation. Nearly 65 % of the people of this country (SLPP 44.65%+UPFA 8.94% and SLFP 4.44% = 58.05%) have clearly rejected this three year no-Government regime under Ranil and firmly have declared they want a change. If we add the 6.27 the JVP polled, which is also anti UNP, this adds up to 64.30 against Ranil. That is their will and firm and absolute wish. That is why they demand an immediate change of Government. So what more proof the UNP wants to admit that it has been rejected outright. Whatever name by which the election is called, whether Local Government or General Election it is the wish of the same people that has been clearly expressed. Therefore the argument adduced by UNP that this is not a defeat, holds no water.

UK, US and EU desperately trying to give a new lease of life to LTTE and perpetuate the Sirisena-Ranil rouge and lame duck regime to destroy this country and the Sinhala Buddhist nation

The above news item clearly demonstrates that the Western powers are again trying desperately to throw their weight behind the LTTE elements, and furthermore reinstall the same corrupt and rouge outfit that has even emptied the nation’s Central Bank within 1 ½ months of coming to power in Aug 2015 and also to destroy the emerging national aspirations of the native Sinhala Buddhist Community’

Besides exerting pressure on the government these Western powers also now try to influence the other Diplomats as well to retain their favourite set in power. The following extract from the press report clearly proves their subversive attempts.

Western diplomats are believed to have raised their concerns with the Government and among the diplomatic community”.

This in my opinion is very high handed move by these Diplomats. It is also a serious violation of diplomatic norms and an infringement on the sovereignty of this country. These people should be immediately summoned at the Foreign Ministry and ask them to explain as to why they overstepped diplomatic immunity and etiquette as this amounts to interfering with the internal affairs of an independent country. Then as President Premadasa did to the British High Commissioner Gladstone the ambassadors involved should be immediately packed off to their countries.

Instead of taking such straight forward action this stupid Government keeps dead silent. How can we expect a spineless Government which cannot even stop Vignesvaran, one of its Provincial Council Chief Ministers, making representations to foreign governments, both in Colombo and abroad against the very Government under which he comes? This reminds me of the famous Sinhala adage’ nivata karanavemiya dutuwana  eluwath nikata panawa’

UK, US and EU concerns born out of jealousy

‘The United States, United Kingdom and EU member countries are concerned the human rights situation in Sri Lanka will return to its dark days if Rajapaksa is allowed to return to power’.

Why are they concerned over the possibility of former President Mahinda Rajapaksa returning to power in the near future? He is the choice of the majority of people in this country. Don’t they have the freedom to elect their own leader as a free and sovereign State? Democracy is their concept which defines it as majority rule. All their countries go by this same rule. If they can do it, why can’t we do it the same way? We only have followed their criterion of choosing our leader. Why this double standard and naked hypocrisy. Do they want us to define democracy as the dictatorship of the minority?

Why should Rajapaksa, be a problem to them. He is not going to rule their countries. He will only be in charge of this small Island. Isn’t it shear jealousy and anger against him for defeating the LTTE and for not listening to their dictates in 2009 to stop the war and hand over Prabhakaran to them in order to re-arm him to destroy this country and the Sinahla Buddhist nation. MR only followed the footsteps of our ancient Kings, with the able support of Gotabhaya (modern Lankanatha), like a true patriotic leader of this nation in protecting his motherland for which the people of this country, especially the Sinhala Buddhist majority hail him as their hero leader of modern times, when all other so-called leaders are falling on their shivering fours before the West and India and hiding their tails between the hind legs in front of the Tigers.

The cat has now come out of the bag when they say human rights situation in Sri Lanka will return to its dark days if Rajapaksa is allowed to return to power.  Whose human rights they are talking about is the most pertinent question.  They also have miserably failed to understand that MR was the man who rescued this country from 30 years of unprecedented terror, mayhem, fear and destruction. So how can they call 2005-2015 as dark days of Rajapaksa. Do they know that he was the first man who covered the whole Island with a first class network of highways after Governor Henry Ward (1855-1860).

Where these champions of human rights and what were they doing, when Prabhakaran was at the height of rampage against this country and its people for 30 years?    

Where were these so-called International communities sleeping when Prabakaran and his murderers were at the height of rampage, savagely and brutally slaughtering innocent men and women and even children sucking at their mothers breast and Buddhist monks in thousands and carrying out mass murder all over this Island, at the Airport, in busses , highways,   inside their own houses when they were sleeping in the dead of night, in their paddy fields, places of worship when they were observing Sill at the  Sacred Bo tree at Anuradhapura and when they demolished the Temple of the Tooth, the Sacred palladium of the entire Buddhist world, when they destroyed the Nation’s Central Bank in the capital and the Nation’s premier Airport, when they were murdering all promising future political leaders of this country like Atulathmudali, Gamini Dissanayaka including their own like Amithalingam, Doreappa (Jaffna Mayor), Thiruchelva and  Premadasa the President of this country and the Prime Minister Rajiv of India and when thousands of Tamil children were snatched from their parents and schools, conscripted and used as cannon fodder depriving their parents of their loved ones, threatening  thousands of Tamils to flee the country for their lives seeking refuge status, presently who live in their countries as self-styled Tamil Diaspora.

Were they not human right violations or were they not human right violations, according to their dictionaries. Only now they talk of this bullshit, as if they have risen from their deep false slumber, on behalf of Tamil immigrant voters living with them, their financiers and vote banks. Doesn’t this clearly show their naked duplicity and double standards? Doesn’t this clearly prove their anti-Sinhala Anti-Buddhist attitude in this game to satisfy the Tamil voters in their countries and Tamil Diaspora who fund them lavishly with their ill-gotten money through drugs, narcotics and human smuggling and other illicit activities?

Withdrawing EU GSP plus trade concession is another colonial threat.

Loosing the EU GSP plus trade concession in the event a Rajapaksa-led administration refuses to comply with the EU conventions related to human rights is another issue they have raised”.

How long they took to re-install this bait after 2015 elections. I am not aware as to how much we get even now. See how shrewd these Westerners are. As if we are living only on this penny as our life saving jacket. We never died during the time they stopped this damn thing. What is more is even we survived the worldwide economic recess at that time without their GPS plus.

The sleeping Giant Joint Opposition; Why not rise, like the Phoenix from the ashes, as sons born to lion parentage

What are those who emerged victorious at the Feb 10^th elections going to do, I do not know. Are they going to adopt the same lame duck attitude and wait or resort to the same approach they followed for the past 3 years while the Government was even transgressing the Constitution of the Republic blatantly? For example in cases like the appointment of the Prime Minister, Chief Justice, Leader of the Opposition, appointing defeated candidates at the 2015 Elections as Cabinet and other Ministers, appointing the Chief Organizer of the Opposition and singing the National Anthem at the Galle Face on Independent day celebrations and allowing Tamils to sing it publicly in Tamil at national events and schools in the North, and the East as if already the EELAM is established on Sri Lankan soil and  as if there are two distinct nations in this country could be cited as few glaring examples.

I call upon these sons of lion parentage to rise like the Phoenix from the ashes from their deep slumber and mobilize the masses to rescue this country and the nation before it is too late. This is the best time for a Dutugemunu or a Vijayabahu to emerge before the Feb 10^th public mandate gets again converted to a flicker and finally get extinguished.

I am wondering as to why at least now they don’t seek assistance from powerful countries like Russia, China and Pakistan, who are our real friends, and mobilize the masses to defeat these conspiracies, chase out the rouges in the seats of power and install a patriotic Government of the people, for the people and of the people (a Mahasammata Rajyak) as it had been here for 2600 years. Thereafter deport all unfriendly Ambassadors and discontinue all diplomatic relations with them, until they accept our independence and freedom and make a start at least now to rebuild this country as a peaceful, prosperous and vibrant nation in this 21^st century brave new world.

If you fail to respond the masses might revolt against all politicians? If that happens will the US and EUC invade this Island nation and do what they did to Libya, Iraq and Czechoslovakia. All these dangers are hanging over the heads of this nation now. Direct foreign intervention is very unlikely, partly, as they have enough problems of their own and moreover they will not dare to, when Russia and China are behind us.

Having taken over

1 Take immediate steps to reduce the spiraling cost of living

2 Restore the fertilizer subsidy to farmers and take immediate steps to reduce the cost of living

3 Set up a Cabinet of 15 Ministers and 15 Deputies

4 Abolish the JR/Rajiv Accord of 1978

5 Abolish the curse that is Provincial Councils

6 Ban all communal and religious political Parties

7 Put behind bars all those responsible for the CB Robbery and other major scams pending judicial proceedings

8 Restore the independence of and the highest degree of professionalism in the Judiciary and the Public Service including the Foreign Service

9 Prune all extravagant government expenses and privileges of politicians like, pension rights, duty free vehicle permits and save that money for development

10 Appoint specially selected 24 GAA of proven ability and record to the 24 Districts to be in charge of the development and administration at the district levels as the first step in re-organizing the Public Service

These ten steps alone will put you in the heavens of popularity and assure your continuity at least for 25 years of cause until you make some blunders.

That part of the International Community blindly led by USA, UK and EU must accept we are a free, Independent and Sovereign State and leave alone for us to decide our destinies.

Why don’t the USA, UK and other self-appointed International Communities, first admit that Sri Lanka is an Independent, Free and Sovereign State, though small in Size, as much as they all are and any other country, Is it not enough that they have robbed, exploited and destroyed this country for 500 years to their satisfaction in style, starting from 1505. It has been the home of the unique Sinhala Buddhist culture fore for 2 ½ millennia and the only country in the world known by 123 world languages. It is also the repository and fountain of Buddhism that has preserved a living Buddhist culture over the past 2500 years that should be protected and preserved for posterity as a country and a model civilization to admire for humanity, the world over without destroying it.   What morality do they have on earth to continue to destroy that heritage to humanity, even after the so-called made in Britain fake Independence supposed to have been granted in 1948 following 500 years of subjugation, exploitation, and wanton destruction.

They also must accept that we have declared this country as an Independent Democratic Socialist Republic in 1972 and we are no longer a colony of either UK or any other country.

What we need today is a strong patriotic leadership to give this message to these savage invaders and re-discover that was Sri Lanka or Sinhale that had been one of the greatest nations in the world for 2 ½ millennia when most of them were living naked in caves and creeping trees like monkeys.

Also who can tell them to mind their own business without conspiring to destroy this Island nation for alleged violations of human rights and what not, and ask them as to why don’t  they look in retrospect and see what crimes they have jointly committed against humanity during the first and second World wars and during colonial expansions in US, Africa and Australia by mass murder by the gun, sword, arson and poisons, before they point their blood stained fingers at us who are struggling to re-emerge from such colonial repressions destructions committed by the for 500 years.

Tomorrow they will have to pay the toll for the crimes they commit against us today as this is the only land on earth blessed by the Buddha

Finally, how come these Western powers, who are in their last lap and sunset days of world superiority as people like Samuel Huntingdon have predicted way back in 1997, hypocritically treat LTTE Tamils terrorist and their so-called Tamil Diaspora as equals of this sovereign nation, and take their side, as a last string to hang, while treating the Sovereign Sri Lankan nation, a permanent and loyal member of the UN for the past 65 odd years as a pack of criminals.

I wonder whether these Western nations have already admitted the New York based GTGE outfit as a permanent member of UN. We don’t mind their accepting even all the Tamils in the whole world as their beloved immigrants as long as these colonial powers don’t interfere with our Independence or freedom, which are sour privies as a sovereign State. I can vouch these Western powers that they will have to pay dearly one day as Rajiv had to do in 1997, for ignoring my appeal made to him not to help LTTE terrorist by providing them with military training on Indian soil and providing all other assistance to fight against Sri Lankan Government and warning of the consequences. I also predicted that his own guns will be aimed at him before and not at us, as this is the only land on earth that has been thrice Blesse by the Buddha. It will be blessed by his blessings and protected by the Gods for 5000 years to come at least. Therefore no enemy can destroy it or the Sinhala nation as it has been aptly proved from Rama (5000 BC) to Prabhakaran (2009 AD)

Therefore please note that you people don’t dabble with the internal affairs of this free, independent and sovereign nation, as we too have a right for self- determination and self- rule and the freedom to elect the leaders whom we want, as much as you all have, if not more, as we have been so for the past 2600 years, as cultured nation long before some of your nations were born.

Dear Patriots, these are only few inborn sorrowful sentiments of a solitary patriot whose heart is bleeding for his motherland and his nation. I earnestly appeal to all Sinhala Buddhist Patriots of this country as well as those living all over this planet earth to fall in line with me and fight against these glaring injustices committed against us by our enemies and to strive to liberate this Island nation from the cruel and vicious clutches of all these anti Sinhala and anti-Buddhist neocolonial forces. So that we could jealously protect it for posterity as our valiant forefathers had done for thousands of years.

A new definition to Ambassador

In this backdrop I think we also have to revisit and redefine the meaning of the word ambassador to be changed in the modern context as An Ambassador in the case of a powerful country or a carton of such countries is a  man and a spy sent to continue to interfere with and interrupt the freedom of ex-colonies  for perpetuating their colonial exploitation and expansion for their own benefit following the Kautilyan doctrine of Matsyanyaya, where the small fish is always the prey of the big fish.
