Task Force 8 finally reached the Puthukudirippu junction yesterday. Fighting still continues in the major part of the town as the density of LTTE fighters has increased due to loss of terrain.
Advance of FIBUA units is conducted at dawn or dusk as Tigers occupying civilian houses and public buildings direct heavy volumes of 12.7mm and mounted 23mm and 30mm canon fire at the advancing units. Often taking cover inside buildings is hazardous due to trappings.
Many of the infamous LTTE leaders have all been relegated now. The man leading the battle against the Army is Rathnam Master, the LTTE's head of Military Intelligence. Rathnam Master was a personal bodyguard of Prabha and perhaps his closest and most capable commander right now. With orders to shoot any deserters, Rathnam Master's ruthlesness seems to be keeping the other Tiger leaders in line.
The former head of LTTE Military Intelligence, Charles was killed by Major Lalith Jayasinghe, 3 Special Forces Special Reconnaissance/LRRP. Poddu Amman and Kapil Amman are the respective heads of the LTTE's Secret Intelligence.
Unlike Secret Intelligence units, Military Intelligence teams of the LTTE have always been distinguished by a strike capability. This means that not only do they collect intelligence but act on that intelligence as one unit.
Many of the successful LTTE attacks in government controlled areas were coordinated by this unit. The only compatible unit in the Army to LTTE Military Intelligence was the SP/LRRP teams who operated with Army Intelligence units (MIC).
Rathnam Master wasn't identified for years due to the secretive nature of his operational engagements. Poddu Amman's image was released by the media and Kapil Amman, a baldheaded middleaged man was identified some time ago as well. But a photo of Rathnam Master wasn't found until two weeks ago when an album abandoned by the Tigers gave away his identity.
Rathnam Master was the man behind the Anuradhapura airbase and Vavuniya SFHQ attacks. The Army has been studying him for years, particularly since he was appointed the head of Ratha Regiment, Prabha's own protection unit and special operations group.

>>>> "If Mahinda came to power, war will start!"
>>Exactly, that was the main campaign message of UNP, trying to create a fear psyche.
Such was how much the backbone of the nation was broken under P.Ranil regime. But one mustn't forget the tone these messages were delivered. The nationalist campaign was summarily taken as "stupid", and MR a "buffalow", "mee haraka" etc. This kind of accusations were not used the other way around, at least not much. One side always seem to pose themseves as the "intellectual" and "educated" clique. A last breath of this was seen with Sivanesan recently, where he called all the "educated" sinhalese support federal.
I feel RC etc come from the same stock.

it was a lawyer (JVP aligned?) who filed a case in the supreme court & demerged the north & east. there are no educational or other demarcations when it comes to nationalism or treachoury.
ranil is an uni educated lawyer too.
so much for that theory.

veluprabakaran,
Yes indeed, intellectual superiority is something the Ranil Wickramasinghe stooges talk about often. I spare no effort in taking on these monkeys down. These are true social cancers in Sri Lanka.

JVP went to court and Gomin Dayasiri represented them.
In real fact, nationalist movement would probably have more educated people IF someone counts, including the professor lot in the JHU; not that it really matters. That was my whole point. It's not the fact that who is actually more "bright", "brainy" or "educated". It looks like that it's just one team that always CLAIMS hegemony on this factor.
Velu and Dark Knight,
Army.lk repors about another Sea Tiger attempt to attack 55 from the rear as far as Chundikulam. What I am puzzled here is non involvement of our Navy to intercept the Sea Tigers. Any idea why?
Sam Perera,
our newly formed fast attack squadrons are doing their best. they had no peace time to settle down unlike LTTE. thay are not that hi-tech either. (relatively). i don envy their task against suicide mindsets.
the LTTE had a cool twenty five years head start on the geography & familiarity of the terrain & it's complexities.
the SLAF by not losing a single aircraft or pilot due to enemy fire while flying thousands of sorties have performed miraculously given the circumstances.
the only area where they failed was the inability to provide adequate ground security to the bases. this cost us a lot.
sam,
looked into the matter personally mate... looks like its a sea mine problem.
velupilai prabhkaran
do you think its possible for sinhala settlements in the north.like done in the 50s and 80s
do u think India would try to stop such things and specially if BJP govt comes to power
specially the 10000 familes in weli oya and satellite villages should go back..i have info that this is done to a large scale in the east but not verified
We should locate few Vehicle Mounter 30mm etc. Naval Cannons in the coastal areas with Night Vision support. They should be able to stop the Sea Tiger antiques.
do you think its possible for sinhala settlements in the north.like done in the 50s and 80s

Tamils can settle and live anywhere in the Island, and Sinhalese should have the same right.
We should promote "One Sri Lanka"!
Equal rights to everyone! No special regions for any ethnicities.
it's about time we either bombed norway or cut diplomatic ties with it. since the former is impossible we mustdo the latter.
norway's blatantly pro LTTE seperatist & terrorist lobbying must be exposed. they must be exposed & punished. we got no other choice.
NO LTTE,
we use the Carl gustave RL weapons very successfully. and plus The Wireguided missiles.
Indika,
mahinda proved to the entire world the emptiness of the word "impossible".
anything is possible as long as the will of the people & the leadership to support it is present.
if we really want something nobody can stop us. not india or usa. we must have a clear vision & mission. but we'll have to fight for it. nobody gets free lunches.
BTW it's vital that we settle down in the north & east to propogate our kind. that's imperative.
dont you think names like
k'il'lino'chc'hi are hard to pronounce?
veluprabha
we can have faith in mahinda for sure..but i have heard that even karuna amman has voiced against settling in the east
"if we really want something nobody can stop us. not india or usa. we must have a clear vision & mission. but we'll have to fight for it. nobody gets free lunches."

I don't support Federal. I don't believe Wijayapala either. Those who support Federal are western agents - they carry the message of NGOs to our own people.
So my friend, before forming an opinion on someone, please ask or carefully look at what that person is saying.
If any Sinhalese is supported Federal, he or she is not educated enough.
I support a benevolent dictator model to Sri Lanka until we educate our masses.
I rejected RW admin and voted/campaign for MR and quite happy with his effort on the war. Not quite happy with other issues.
really cold
how do you think MR should change/adapt
intellectual superiority is something the Ranil Wickramasinghe stooges talk about often
These people think learnining a little bit of English and some out of place British manners make them superior to others. What they do not know is that thier Creole English is subtitled in CNN, ABC etc ! ! !
I have seen poor little kids in SL villages speak and mange English better than these dumbass, just with a few interactive educational CDs and an old computer.
That is the way to go. Before going for building highways, we must ameliorate and make accessible Internet like networkings everywhere in SL for free. My dream is that one day our village boys will pilot Colombo business sitting under the green healthy shade of our beautiful villages. Not only Colombo, target must be the World Business.
ReallyCold,
Lets talk about other issues, for example, the private business.
I also support Sinhalese settlements in NR. This should be the long term vision to reduce future formation of LTTE like.
Take over all unoccupied land and re-distribute them to people based on ethnic%.
@Indika
[ really cold
how do you think MR should change/adapt]
Much Smaller Cabinet.
Getting rid of thugs in the parliament like Mervyn.
Cutting down unqualified. relatives in the government. I consider GR/BR are qualified for what they do.
Creating a national vision that takes us to the future not the past.
Find a way to get over 80% of Sinhalese votes so that he has no worries about UNP+Minority alliances.
The Govt is a special kind of a enterprise where the share holders are the citizens.
If a group of Diaspora Tamils plan to by Colombo lands to create separatist enclaves should that be allowed?
North East is very sparsely populated and south is overpopulated. It is the duty of the Govt to listen to its share holders and allocate unused lands to ease the southern demographic pressure, otherwise a JVP type uprising is inevitable.
ReallyCold,
[Lets talk about other issues, for example, the private business.]
There is a separate discussion about it here:

i agree with u he should cut down the cabinet ..and get rid of the jokers
well i think the govt already has 80% of the Sinhalese votes
but dont u think we should go to the future with the knowlege of the past..children should be taught history..that s how ppl become patriotic...
i meant do you think he needs a change in economic policy?
[If a group of Diaspora Tamils plan to by Colombo lands to create separatist enclaves should that be allowed?]
Opening up a whole new can of worms. This is a very sensitive issue. Tamils are rushing to Colombo since Sinhalese have made it safer there. Tamils can't therefore stage LTTE safe houses in Colombo.
Since about half a million Tamils living in the west, they have the access to capital to buy out Colombo properties for any amount and Sinhalese are at a disadvantage here. Basically these proprieties were originally bought from Sinhalese. I am not sure how to handle this without making things ugly.
Indika
{but dont u think we should go to the future with the knowlege of the past..children should be taught history..that s how ppl become patriotic...}
There is the Sinhalese history, the question is how many Sinhalese agree with him? When this was posted here, only handful of Sinhalese even looked at it.
SL History by Prof. NDS
As for the economic policy, I support any policy that align us with the modern western business world that support sustainability.
RC, you present yourself as a very serious person. Honestly, sanercomic is not a very appetising a title for a site promoting serious business !
You want to be more Buddhist than Buddhists and more Singhala than Singhalas!
The Konde Bandepu Chiinas are the Mandarins, they dont buy such talks !
Duzz thanks for info. It is a waste to use a $30,000 wire guided missile to dismantle few pussies on a boat.
Nice to know that an RCL can be fired on moving targets (did not know).
LTTE use vehicle mounted 25 - 30 mm Naval Cannons they have dismantled from sunken Dvora's successfully against our Navy craft and on troops. We should do the same thing.
I am not sure whether we have any continuous firing 30mm and up weapons fitted Battle Tanks. If so, they can be valuable against Sea Tiger antiques in the near waters.

Yeah,
One is trying to keep the country together, the other is trying to sell the country. Look who is running the U.S now. When the wall street wash their hands, Obama has to take over. So don't think people in the business does the right thing for the country. Only thing they are interested is in money for themselves. The greed is what runs in these people and the govt should not be about that. So I am glad govt and business are two different entities. Of course govt. should try to help the business, but not to succumb to their every wishes.

I think you have to look around and see who is capable of what and believe in that person to do his part right. There are number of people here very successful at what the do. Most importantly, they make their money the most honest way anyone can imagine in Sri Lanka.
People like saneconomics, Sam, wije and Ananda are doing a darn good job here for the most part.
tnx for the video URL thusitha...
yup. one of the best moves of MR was to deploy capable diplomats like Dr. Kohona( and this minister) to counter the LTTE propagandists and their naive believers..
they've (LTTE) had a free ride,unopposed for so long..

We should quickly deal with these people legally if that is the case. We should make our legal system strong in the case of Terrorism.
If we get rid of LTTE I think the place would be safe and people will learn to live together. Also should try to stop people of one ethnicity congregating to one area, which creates a hell of a lot of problems, not just in Sri Lanka, but anywhere in the world.
Thusitha,
"Of course govt. should try to help the business, but not to succumb to their every wishes."
Yes, these are golden words. The security of our nation (national security) trumps all other matters. Anybody dreaming about doing good business at the expense of our territorial integrity has to be taken care of using available legal tools.

i think democratic socialist (not communist) approach much like in scandinavian countries is the best way to go. but we need to have honest leaders to work out anything.

[If a group of Diaspora Tamils plan to by Colombo lands to create separatist enclaves should that be allowed?]
I think that there is a fundamental difference between owning property in Sri Lanka and trying to create another country from a piece of Sri Lanka. Land ownership in Sri Lanka or any other country does not mean that the land owners can create a independent ethnic political enclave. Obviously, if Hobbits are the majority in Colombo then they can elect a Hobbit as their representative but they can't create an independent Hobbiton in Colombo using their majority vote in Colombo. What ever the land acquisition has to be within the laws of Sri Lanka.
[Feds eye seizure of Tamil property under anti-terror act
Stewart Bell, National Post Published: Tuesday, March 03, 2009
The government took the first steps Tuesday toward taking over property in Ontario and Quebec that it says is controlled by a terrorist group involved in South Asia's longest-running civil war.
Federal prosecutors in Toronto and Montreal filed applications in the Federal Court of Canada saying they were seeking the forfeiture of the property of the World Tamil Movement, an outlawed terrorist organization.
It is the first time the government has used the forfeiture provision of the Anti-Terrorism Act, which allows the Attorney General to seize "property owned or controlled by or on behalf of a terrorist group."
The list of items the government wants to strip from the World Tamil Movement of Ontario and World Tamil Movement of Quebec fills 300 pages and includes everything from bank accounts to golf shirts bearing the Tamil Tigers emblem.
If it is successful, the government would be allowed to keep the items or sell them and use the proceeds either to compensate victims of terrorist activities or fund anti-terrorism initiatives.
But the court must first approve the forfeitures and a lawyer representing the Montreal branch of the World Tamil Movement said his clients deny any terrorist affiliation and intend to challenge the government's case.
"Needless to say the WTM maintains that ‘we have never been terrorist financiers and we believe even that the whole system is of doubtful constitutionality,'" Steven Slimovitch said.
"So there's no question that this is going to be a long process."
The WTM was formed in 1986 to represent Canada's large population of ethnic Tamils from Sri Lanka, many of whom had fled the civil war between government forces and the separatist Tamil Tigers guerrillas.
Last June, the government placed the World Tamil Movement on its official list of terrorist entities, calling it a "front" for the Tamil Tigers rebels and accusing it of using threats and intimidation to finance the Sri Lankan civil war.
That decision effectively put the WTM out of business, but nine months later the government has begun the process to strip the group of its property. The court filing is addressed to WTM President Sitta Sittampalam, Secretary Raveendran Thambapillai, Treasurer Jega Ramasamy, Treasurer Panchalingam Paramananthan, and the TD and CIBC banks, among others.
RCMP counter-terrorism officers searched the World Tamil Movement offices in Canada in 2006 and seized: Tamil Tigers paraphernalia; a letter from Tamil Tigers leader Velupillai Prabhakaran asking for $3-million; a letter from the Tamil Tigers procurement wing asking for money for artillery; and Elections Canada voter lists with the Tamil names highlighted.
According to RCMP reports filed in court since the raids, the investigators also uncovered a terrorist-financing operation that was targeting Tamil Canadians for donations, sometimes using pressure tactics.
The main fundraising method was a pre-authorized payment scheme in which Tamils were asked to sign forms allowing the World Tamil Movement to make monthly withdrawals from their bank accounts, police said.
The WTM took in $763,000 a year using the scheme. In a single day in 2005, it withdrew $64,000 from 1,528 bank accounts. "Significant evidence of terrorist financing was found," the RCMP wrote, "including pre-authorized loan forms, well-organized ledger and receipt books formatted by postal code, indicating names of contributors and collectors, and large quantities of LTTE propaganda materials, and merchandise."
The RCMP was able to trace $3-million worth of bank transfers that occurred between 2002 and 2006 from the WTM accounts in Canada to overseas accounts, most of them linked to the Tamil Tigers.
"The bank records seized...demonstrate that the World Tamil Movement has developed an elaborate machine like entity that moves throughout Greater Toronto collecting funds with extreme proficiency," the RCMP said, adding the setup was "congruent with the money laundering techniques often employed by organized crime."
Tuesday, several hundred demonstrators stood outside the United States Consulate in Toronto, some waving Tamil Tigers flags. An ad for the protest said its purpose was to urge President Barack Obama to "save Tamil people."
Canada has pledged $4.5-million in humanitarian assistance and called for a ceasefire to safeguard the tens of thousands of civilians currently caught in the war zone amid intense fighting between the two sides but Sri Lanka has said it will not comply.

Way to go Canada. Unless you rout out these Tamil terrorist sleeper cells terrorizing Sri Lankans... very soon they will unleash their violence on you... They are notorious to bite the hands that feeds.
Presently these Tamil terrorists are testing the Canadian ground... a demonstration there... hunger strike here... closed door illegal meeting here... demanding meeting of legislators there...
Canadians.... beware.... and always remember that 'Arab and His Camel' storey... when dealing with Tamil terrorists, separatists and their financiers...
RC,
Let me demystify your fascination with the West.
Necessity is the mother of inventions.
The cold and harsh climate pushed Europeans to search for ways to make their lives easier. In these cold lands, cattle and pigs were lodged inside human habitations as heat generators even as recently as in the 18th century!
When Syrians conquered Spain/Portugal through Algeria, Morocco, Indian number system as well as many Mathematical methods of solving problems were passed on to Europeans. However, Europeans under the guidance of Vatican pushed the invaders out of Southern Europe using these methods. They were so successful in this endeavour that they embarked themselves on a path of conquest, not just simple conquest but the world conquest!
They were never fools. Wherever they went, they carefully documented any instrumentation used by the local populations, perfected them and used them in their venture to dominate the world. Examples. Explosive powder from China & Guns from India.
Nothing is static, things are ever changing. People who are not ready to learn, adopt, invent, think and plan for self preservation will be subjugated by others who are better motivated.
... And here's that Arab and His camel story. (Compulsory reading for proud Sri Lankans)
'
AS an Arab sat in his tent one cold night,
he saw the curtain gently lifted, and the
face of his Camel looking in.
"What is it?" he asked kindly.
"It is cold, master," said the Camel; "suf-
fer me, I pray thee, to hold my head within
the tent."
"By all means," replied the hospitable
Arab; and the Camel stood with his head
inside the tent.
"Might I also warm my neck a little?" he
entreated after a moment.
The Arab readily consented, and the
Camel's neck was thrust within the tent.
He stood, moving his head from side to side
uneasily, and presently said, "It is awkward
standing thus. It would take but little more
room if I were to place my forelegs inside
the tent."
"You may place your forelegs within the
tent," said the Arab. And now he had to
move a little to make room, for the tent
was but small.
The Camel spoke again: "I keep the tent
open by standing thus, and make it cold for
us both. May I not stand wholly within?"
"Yes," said the Arab, whose compassion in-
cluded his beast as well as himself; "come
in wholly if you wish."
But now the tent proved to be too small to hold both.
"I think, after all," said the Camel, as he
crowded himself in, "that there will not be
room here for us both. You are the smaller;
it will be best for you to stand outside.
There will be room then for me."
So he pushed a little, and the Arab with all haste
went outside the tent.
'
Good bashing of LTTE sea tigers.
http://www.army.lk/morenews.php?id=20505
i am not being racist but i must say what i have felt in colombo. i think the "arabs" will do to us the sinhalese what the camel did to them. i don't complaint but at this rate that is what will become, naturally so.
sinhalese men must let go of their addiction to arrack and look after thier children well. make the children be able to earn a decent living. earn a decent living sufficient to raise at least 2-3 children each.

LTTE is the most ruthless terrorist organization in the world. If you're not sure or don't know much about them, please find some of the crimes they did against innocent people in spur website (Google for 'SPUR AUSTRALIA'). If you don't believe this, refer official FBI site (Google for 'FBI LTTE'). They have done more civilian killings than Al Qaeda. People supporting terrorism are enemies of mankind. Everyone must join hands to eliminate terrorism from the whole world! Thank you!

You are trying to emphasis that I reject them becasue I don't read them. "Not reading" and "Rejecting" have two different meanings.
Even for this simple matter you took A4 sheet to reply ): Either you can't see things simple or you dont have any other work than blogging here.
Apologies if being rude. To me this matter is close.
Fireball Thanks...

The best approach would be NOT to credit Lahor attack to india (RAW) or Pakistan (ISI) even though things imply either party. SL need to pay more attention of the security of players and may try to credit this is to the generel account of (global) terrorism is the best way - no need to even try relete this to a particular terrorist group in Pkaistan. SL do need good relationships with both PK and India and also SL don't need new terrorist enemies else where in the world.

This is what happens when you give airtime to a grumpy old man like Ananda-USA who will go to numerous websites and post his garbage, then come back here and give his links to find out the plumb of his mental illness from folks like you.
In the latter part of 2007 Sri Lankan security forces had a golden opportunity.
Our MI had worked very hard and bagged Charles and Thamilchelvam working closely with one of the top adviser ranks of LTTE.
They had reached Rathnam Master and had discussed a fee of defection and possible killing of Piripaharan. However, the asking price tag was so huge that MI backed off.
It was a gamble to pay a colossal sum of monies even though the source had been highly reliable.
If everything worked out well, the war could have been over nearly a year ago. Many lives could have been saved.
It is ironic that the same Ratnam Master taking the fight to his hand -a classic "flight or fight" scenario.
BTW, what's the latest capitol in peelaam now? Huthuputpatalan..?
@Bhairav
Darling, I love to read your view.
Do you have something like this for Prabhakaran too?
Honey, If Ananda is the mother of all problem, then no worries for everyone since he hasn't killed anyone.

by the way where is Iqbal Athas now?
Gringo, don't you think that sinhalese are not raising enough children and money to sustain a clear majority into the next century. you may not see a risk but i clearly see since i live in colombo.
Uncle Rana,
Did you hear what ReallyCold said.
"Never Never disclose your age on an anonymous blog or don't talk about your family or children."
Be a good uncle and listen now.
whoever posted the prof nalin's video. tnx so much. it changed my thinking a lot.
jack,
"by the way where is Iqbal Athas now?"
Somewhere I saw that he is hiding in Thailand. Wherever he is, he will not be forgotten. He has a very special place in the list of scum for demoralizing Sri Lankan forces and people for two decades. On the brighter side, his even-though-we-came-this-far-we-can-never-beat-LTTE-an-Mister-Prabakaran articles are not there anymore in Sunday Times. I hope that our forces will put him our of work soon.
I appoligize that I do not know the the author of the following article, but I am posting it here in case you haven't seen it already. These are known facts, but nicely put across:
Who crapped on Paradise?
Sri Lanka is a place for all of us to live in harmony. If anyone, especially the Tamil Diaspora thinks that Sri Lanka should be ethnically divided, then, the following is food for thought for you. This is also good for those LTTE sympathisers in our country as well as around the world:
Your claim: Sri Lanka is the only place for Tamil Ealam
Fact: Sri Lanka is the ONLY place in the world for the Sinhala race and the Veddahs. Whether you like it or not, they have the right to this land before anyone else. Tamils, on the other hand, have the historical right to Tamil Nadu – and that is where the only Ealam Dreamland should be. Or you may consider Singapore , alaysia , Canada , Germany , England or Australia – they have been pampering you well, haven't they?
Claim: North and East are the historical Tamil Homeland
Fact: If you think the North and East belonged to the Tamils historically, think twice. Read the history of Sri Lanka – the truth, not the rubbish you teach in Tamil schools in Germany . Visit Anuradhapura and look at the moonstones: Lankan civilisation began in the North (not in the South) and the Buddhists were there before the Tamils. Many places of worship of significant importance for Buddhists still lie in the North and East, including places such as Nagadveepa and Thiriyaya – which is said to have been built containing relics of the lord Buddha. It was only during the Polonnaruwa regime that the cow was removed from the moonstone as a result of the Hindu influence. That's the first time ever the Cholas set foot in our island – so how dare you claim that the North and East are the "traditional" land of the Tamils?
Claim: Sinhala Buddhists are committing a Genocide in Sri Lanka (Genocide is the deliberate and systematic destruction, in whole or in part, of an ethnic, racial, religious, or national group.)
Fact: There were Sinhala and Muslim communities living in the North and East – not so long ago. Where are they now? Who has systematically eliminated them, chased them out of their own homes? Who has chopped the heads off the infants, split opened pregnant mothers, stamped their wombs, killed every Sinhala person in sight and torched their villages? Starting from the Kent Farm and Model Farm, the Tamil extremists have eliminated the Sinhala and Muslim communities from the North (and tried in the East too); they attacked temples and mosques, brutally executing monks, priests and innocent people while they were praying. From Aranthalawa, Dimbulagala and Sri Maha Bodhiya to Kandy , the barbaric LTTE terrorists didn't even spare a temple or a mosque. It's the Tamil terrorists committing genocide in Sri Lanka , not anyone else!
Claim: Tamils are discriminated in Sri Lanka
Fact: A person from the majority Sinhalese cannot buy a piece of land in the North (prevented by a pact), but the Tamils can buy land anywhere in the country. Statistically speaking, Tamils are occupying more than their share in universities, in the civil service, the government and even in the private sector. From Sea Street to 4th Cross Street , there are certain trades and industries that "belong" to the Tamils, and no Sinhala or Muslim merchant can penetrate that.
A closer look at the transformation of Colombo and its suburbs will make any pea-brain understand who is having a better life and who is being pushed aside from the capital city. From Paskaralingam to Kadirgamar to Muralitharan, there are millions of Tamils who have flourished in this country. It is the Sinhala students who cannot attend the Jaffna University or the Eastern University , while the Tamil students enjoy their rights all over the country, including the Peradeniya University in the heartland of the Sinhala Buddhists. Even in Colombo , a Sinhala student is not admitted to any Tamil school, while all the Sinhala schools accept Tamil students.
From education, to civil service, to businesses and private sector, to land-ownership in Colombo – Tamils are enjoying more than their fair share. How would it be possible if there is so-called discrimination against Tamils in Sri Lanka ?
Claim: Sri Lankan regime has failed to take care of the North and the East
Fact: Jaffna had been almost on par with Colombo at one time, a thriving cosmopolitan – the second capital of Sri Lanka – before the troubles began. There are many provinces and districts that have been forgotten by the ruling parties – North and East aren't at the top of that list. Uva, for example did not even have a university until 2 or 3 years ago; Moneragala district is the most deprived in the entire country. The governments have always favoured the Tamils – in order to keep their votes, and as a result, they have been enjoying better benefits than the others in Sri Lanka .
Claim: Tamils get hassled and harassed by the security checks
Fact: The Sinhalese, the Muslims, the Burghers – we all get woken up in the wee hours of the morning, during search operations; we all get our bags, baggage and vehicles checked, we all get harassed – that's the price the innocent people pay for the environment the stupid LTTE has created. Anyone who fails to produce valid identification or reasonable evidence for whereabouts would get into trouble – unless you are a foreigner (they are the privileged ones in paradise). There are Sinhala and Muslim informants on the LTTE payroll too, so everyone is a 'suspect' at a checkpoint. We all go through the same hassle, same agony. But then again, you hardly visit Sri Lanka , so what would you know?
Claim: Sinhalese Buddhists are at War with the Tamils
Fact: Nope, we aren't. If we did, there wouldn't have been any Tamils living outside LTTE-controlled areas. Majority of the Tamil population is living outside the LTTE grip; living amongst the other ethnicities in harmony. Government of Sri Lanka (GoSL) is at war with the terrorists, just like some other democracies around the world. Some LTTE propaganda agents substitute GoSL with Sinhalese Buddhists and LTTE with the Tamils, to leverage certain situations in their favour.
Claim: Some Sinhala Extremist Parties are spreading Sinhala-only ideologies.
Fact: Yes, there are extremist elements such as Jathika Hela Urumaya (JHU trans. National Sinhala Heritage) – which came to being to counter the extremists such as the LTTE under a political mandate. Tamil extremism is over 50 years old in Sri Lanka while JHU isn't even 10 years old. JHU, being an extremist, has almost zero influence on the average civil society. Tamils, on the other hand, have "erased" Sinhala from their areas (only Tamil and English exist on the sign boards from the North – out of sight, out of mind?) while the rest of the country treats Tamil as one of the official languages.
Now, who is being extreme and who is breeding extremism in this country?
Claim: Sri Lankan Government has no option but to negotiate with the LTTE
Fact: Sri Lankan Government did not negotiate with the Sinhala Buddhist uprisings in the early 70's and the late 80's. The Sinhala terrorists were captured, tortured and killed – and their heads decorated the roadside fences. Their burning bodies were seen in almost every street corner every morning, and over 50,000 youth are still missing to date. That was the Sinhala Buddhist government taking care of the Sinhala Buddhist youth who terrorised the country. The government does NOT have to negotiate with terrorists. The Sri Lankan governments have been too nice, and tolerant, to the Tamil terrorists all these years.
Claim: The international community has a right to involve in the Sri Lankan situation
Fact: The international community has already banned the LTTE – a terror outfit and its sister-concerns. Not even India can ecourage terrorism or division anymore; they too have Mumbai and Kashmir on their agenda. Sadly, it is only a few misguided Tamil businessmen and individuals who support the LTTE around the world trying to lobby a voice for lost cause – they hardly quantify or qualify as the "international community." BBC and the gullible British elements don't qualify either. You too will soon see the truth and realise that the Ealam dream was nothing but a painful nightmare.
Claim: LTTE is the only and true voice of the Tamil people
Fact: LTTE does not represent the true Tamils of this country. If they did, why would they eliminate EPRLF, EPDP, EROS and TULF? Weren't they representing Tamils too? Why would they kill any Tamil voice that was against the LTTE agenda – no matter how big or small the person was? From innocent villagers who were labelled as "traitors" to great statesmen like Lakshaman Kadirgamar, LTTE has killed thousands of its own kith and kin that they were "supposedly" protecting. In fact, the LTTE has killed more innocent Tamils than the number of LTTE militants killed by the Sri Lankan Security Forces. LTTE is not the true voice or the protector of the Tamils in Sri Lanka . It's just the opposite.
Claim: LTTE is protecting the civilians in their area, if they get out, they would be killed by the Sri Lankan Security Forces. (Also according to LTTE and the BBC)
Fact: Almost all the Tamils in Sri Lanka – except for the ones who are trapped in the current War Zone – live outside the LTTE influence. How come they are not killed? If over 90% of the Tamils are living outside the LTTE held areas, in harmony with the rest of the Sri Lankans, protected and freely, what are they talking about? They would be killed by the military advance if they DON'T leave the LTTE-held areas soon enough.
Claim: Sri Lanka failed to recognise the demands of the Tamils and never offered a political solution
Fact: Sri Lanka did, but sadly the Tamils didn't recognise the power they had in their hands. The country switched from a 225-seater parliament that represented an MP per electorate to the Provincial Council System to satisfy the demands of the Tamils. This may not have been perfect, but it was a very good beginning. North and East were combined and offered in a silver platter to the terrorist leader twice, but he refused to enter the political stream. LTTE rejected democracy and took up arms, not once, not twice, but many a times. Every "Cease-Fire" ended in LTTE regrouping, re-arming and murdering hundreds of Sinhalese – the Tamil Diaspora that has never set foot in the island should use their brains to understand why the LTTE were NOT acting for the benefit of the ordinary Tamils.
Sri Lanka would have been better off without the high-maintenance Provincial Council System – with a leaner, meaner, accountable and more responsible Parliament. Today we have a white elephant – created for the Tamils, but fed by the rest of the Sri Lankans.
We were a resourceful nation in South Asia, ahead of Singapore on the development curve, once upon a time. Thanks to the idiotic ideologies and stupidities of LTTE, the whole country has gone back in time – in to the stone ages.
The roads are still the same width as it were 30 years ago, the currency has depreciated from Rs 16.00 to a US Dollar in 1978 to almost Rs 114.00 to a US Dollar today – a whopping 712% in just 30 years!
The country is filled with the maimed and the war-victims – a huge burden on the welfare system for the next few generations to come. Emotional scars would take another zillion years to heal; and I could write another million ways the war has crippled our Paradise .
Most of all, the LTTE cleverly bumped-off all the brains in the political system –leaving the country in the hands of a bunch of imbeciles. We will win the war and restore peace and stability, but we cannot gain the time we lost. We cannot turn back the clock. The world has moved on, leaving us far behind.
In simple terms, the LTTE morons have shat on the pile of gold that is Sri Lanka. It is going to take a few heavy monsoons to wash away the crap and the stench, and its going to be a hell of a long time before we begin to shine again.
I also apologize to those guys who do not like long postings on the blog!

I do not think it's at risk. Also why take Colombo as the benchmark? Our real heroes are from the rural areas.
Once the Tamil terrorism is wiped out and the economy b0oms, there will be handsome rewards to everyone.
If we have come this far carrying Tamil terrorism baggage on our back for 25 years, imagine how far we can go if we have wiped them all out?
We can: Tamil terrorists cannot.

I think its from Konappu Bandara in Ananda USA blog.

/Also why take Colombo as the benchmark?/
What do you think the majority sinhalese of the country being minority in their capitol or main commercial city..? 2000 years ago what was the case in A'pura..?
[Gringo, don't you think that sinhalese are not raising enough children and money to sustain a clear majority into the next century. you may not see a risk but i clearly see since i live in colombo.]
The whole concept of chena boy/gal is more babies and more kiribath. Being from the hand to mouth society it even helps the further production of babies. I find it hard why they can't produce more babies given their cultural background and an economy of a developing country.
Thanks Ninja,
Appreciate the information.
Ninja,
I don't have the stats on Colombo in hand but think due to economic factors, the numbers may be lower.
I also think that with the development of the economy, people have less and less time and energy to harp on Ethnic, religious differences, which are narrowing in countries like Sri Lanka.
But I'm more in favor of going with the Sri Lankan primary, only and workable identity than to classify people into ethnic, religious, caste pigeon-holes. What are your views?
What happened in A’pura?
Pottu
When I made that statement, I was remembering the actions certain retarded people on the blog..... like YOU.
Sam P. and other patriots....
I've been following this blog for less than 5 months....
you guys who've been blogging for longer.. have you had to deal with web scum/ diaspora jokers like "Bhairav" since the very beggining?
We should ignore this cocksuckers completely....
I just saw his last post about Sinhalese population growth...
we shouldn't entertain this types at all...
now that their Eelam wet dream is over,Fat Pig is all but gone, this (coming onto sinhalese dominated blogs) and getting pot shots off and waiting for a reaction(typically histerical) is the only thrill in their miserable/hate filled lives...
We should just ignore...
Dear Thusitha:
I want me to be well understood by all of you even if some choose to abuse me. I may not be a patriot in Dr. Nalins' terms.
I am not thinking about saving Sinhalese civilisation. NOthing is permenant. Every thing is transitory.
I am thinking of the suffering of the Sinhalese and Tamil masses.
If a whole village is taken for hostage for ransom by a ruthless gang, if the war is the only way to save them then I reluctantly but energeticaly support the war.
But If I could, first I will try to avoid the war. If a neighbourhood thug threatens my family, I may even sell my house because I hate violence. If I cannot move out then I have to fight.
I hate viloence. I hate viloence more since sometimes it is necesary.
Gringo we can agree to disagree. i think sinhalese are already facing the risk of being economically subjugated to the point where their ability to raise as many children is compromised. sinhalese have only themselves to blame for this poverty. hopefully as you say things will take a turn for the good when this mess is over. but that is only a wish at this time that sinhalese people's economic attitudes will change automatically when the war is won.
A Lesson for Sinhalese:
Here scorpion = TFT(Terror Friendly Tamils).
The story is about a scorpion asking a frog to carry him across a river. The frog is afraid of being stung, but the scorpion reassures him that if it stung the frog, the frog would sink and the scorpion would drown as well. The frog then agrees; nevertheless, in mid-river, the scorpion stings him, dooming the two of them. When asked why, the scorpion explains, "I'm a scorpion; it's my nature."
nothing is permanent indeed. but you give your damn best shot to preserve something worthy as long as you can. that is what keeps us going. it's a fine calcluation to make. what is worth preserving and at what cost?
i spend a considerable amount of time in europe too with people who hardly have any religion or any strong bondings and then I come to realise what a nice cluture we have. i think it's worth preserving that for my descendants. there are pros also in these cold european societies but our warm society is much nicer. at least to me.

"international humanitarian law is different to the human rights law"
a fantastic statemment!!!
this is what "humanitarian" bullshitters got all wrong. that worked well for SL at higher levels although at lower levels (of IC activity) we were blamed.
thanks boomarang.
i'm glad the diversion about vesa-pala (VP) has ended.
but during the discussion one sakkiliya said vesa-pala is a good (swine???) breed sinhala buddhist. bullshit. this hitler thinking is a sign of serious identity problems. race is not relevant to patriotism.
a mixed sri lankan with sinhala, tamil and jewish genes can be a better patriot if he loves SL and hates TE (and racist federalism and racist political parties) as much as he hates vesa-pillai.
this war is only a manifestation of the tamil elam campaign. the problem is the tamil elam campaign which is exploring VARIOUS avenues to get there.
TE >>> LTTE (much greater than)
TE = LTTE + peaceful tamil elamism
don't miss the woods for the trees.

On my honest opinion; I find that Mr. Wijayapala’s posts are extremely readable and important as well as up to the point. I may not agree with all his points and arguments as we two are having different personalities and backgrounds.
Somewhat contrast to Wijayapala, Really Cold’s posts are intelligent and sarcastic but managed to illustrate his points energetically to the entire congregation.
Few notable others with consistency on readability are; Panhinda, Tropical Storm, Matha Mathika and Jack1234.
All above characters are exhibiting strong independence from others. It is a very desirable quality in a blog like this.
There are also good number of guys bring latest news from the battle front. Ninja, Puran Appu, Duzz Dodo and Hanas are silently doing their service to us and my thanks to them.
We must remember; joy of blogging is the interaction of individuals with their own school of thoughts. There is nothing wrong with short or long posts as long as they are readable to others. Also we must not forget that anybody who has a different email address can write anything they wish here irrespective to the response he or she get.
By experience now, I can ignore most of others even without reading. Please follow the same, if you do not like particular type posts. Then there will be less and less confrontations.

That is the way to go. Before going for building highways, we must ameliorate and make accessible Internet like networkings everywhere in SL for free. My dream is that one day our village boys will pilot Colombo business sitting under the green healthy shade of our beautiful villages. Not only Colombo, target must be the World Business.
I agree 100%.
We should start with making computers available almost 24x7 in schools and public libraries.
Every small town should have such a public library available to both children and adults, and a instructor (teacher/librarian) always available to help.

(March 04, Chennai, Sri Lanka Guardian) I have received a number of questions from readers with reference to my article of March 3,2009, on the terrorist attack on the Sri Lankan cricket team in Lahore. I answer some of them in this article."
no BRAMAN it was dated 02 march 2009 by error.
if you can pin point to HUM as the suspect even b4 24 hours had passed, that casts real doubts on YOU. also why on earth that article suddenly disappeared??
i'm sure BRAMAN knows much more than he says.
Moshe,
Yes, I see…..
Why not ask your three questions from him for straight answer?
1. About the date.
2. Speedy analysis.
3. Quick fate of the article.

Either you can't see things simple or you dont have any other work than blogging here.
This must be the case; you know best of course! :)
I only pointed out the contradiction in your position.
The rest of my post was on a matter of greater importance: from time to time, bloggers express an unwillingness to read long articles, which are OFTEN NECESSARY to present REASONED arguments.
I just hope there are MANY MORE other bloggers out there with the contrary view on this subject. If we lose the ability to identify and explain the path taken to arrive at a conclusion, we may soon lose the capability to convince anyone of anything.

Good job guys!!
You all are true heroes!!
the hostage theory on the lahore attack doesn't hold.
1. terrorists fired at the bus indiscriminately until they were countered and the bus sped away
2. also launched a grenede that missed the bus!! had it struck, the damage would have be HUGE
3. hell of a lot of other bombs were recovered from the area suggesting that they were planning for a wipe out
another intersting DIMENTION is the weapons. (another way to look at)
1. all the weapons they left behind (INTENTIONALY) were MORE familier with indian use (e.g. carl gustav, RPG-22??).
the killers WANTED to give the impression that they were indian linked.
2. IF they were indian linked, wouldn't it be better for them to attack the team FURTHER away from india towards the "intersting" west as possible????
why lahore???
3. why imran khan - a known supporter of stopping counter-terror op.s in pakistan - harp on the lack of security than condemn the attack in the SAME manner????
Jwick,
When it comes to the crushing point LTTE type dictatorships go berserk. Also the real quality of some body comes out only at a crisis. It is natural for big guns to go down and insignificants to shine in a calamity what LTTE going through right now.

INSTANT VIEW-Sri Lanka says negotiating $1.9bln IMF loan
Wed Mar 4, 2009 7:06pm IST Email | Print | Share| Single Page[-] Text [+]
COLOMBO, March 4 (Reuters) - Sri Lanka's central bank on Wednesday said it was negotiating a $1.9 billion IMF loan to help the country weather the global crisis and pay for post-war reconstruction. [ID:nCOL298469]
COMMENTARY:
MURRAY FERNANDEZS, TREASURY MANAGER, NDB BANK
"The move is good. We have no way to strengthen our reserve other than going for IMF. I don't think they (IMF) will give this assistance to protect the rupee. But we have to see the conditions attached with this package.
CHANNA AMARATUNGA, DIRECTOR AT CT CAPITAL:
"It remains to be seen what economic policy conditions the IMF would seek to attach to any offer of assistance.
GEETH BALASURIYA, HEAD OF RESEARCH AT ACUITY STOCKBROKERS
We are in an economic crisis. This assistance will definitely support investor sentiments. This is really a positive move.
HARSHA DE SILVA, ECONOMIST AT LIRNE ASIA AND FORMER ECONOMIC ADVISER TO MAIN OPPOSITION UNITED NATIONAL PARTY
We are desperate for dollars. The central bank and the government concealed the fact that we were at a crisis challenging that they would not go for IMF. The central bank has finally realised that we need to go for the lender if we need to get money at the moment. I think the central bank should not try to defend the currency with the money we get from IMF. (Reporting by Shihar Aneez; Editing by Bryson Hull)
It seems that when Mushe Dyan runs out of things to say, he resorts to outright lying:
"according to priyasantha who seems to know him (??) further confirmed."
Wrong- priyashantha has no idea who I am. If he does, he is more than welcome to shout out my name here in DW for everyone to know.
"vesa-pala used to twist history for instance by saying the problem started in 1956,"
Lie #2- I had never claimed that "the problem" (whatever that means) started in 1956. If we're talking about Tamil militancy, then that started quite a bit later in the 1970s, although even then it was pretty insignificant and did not pose a threat to Sri Lankan security.
"The problem" most certainly did not begin in 1922, as True-Blue American Ananda believes.
"LTTE became a fighting force in 1983"
This is true- there were only 30 Tigers prior to 1983 and 1000 a year later. If I'm "twisting history," I invite Mushe, Schizo Sam, priya the Arse-ithri Licker, or any other "patriotic" clown to refute what I say.
If they're too ignorant/dumb to do so, they can't blame me for knowing more than they do.

I just hope there are MANY MORE other bloggers out there with the contrary view on this subject. If we lose the ability to identify and explain the path taken to arrive at a conclusion, we may soon lose the capability to convince anyone of anything.
Sir, with utmost respect to you, I also have an opinion on your posts; at early stage of my short blogging carrier here, I started reading your articles, both short and long, with an interest. In fact we have argued a case or two to disagree at the end. However, soon I realised your articles do not carry something worthwhile to read and simulate interest but only cheap patriotic propaganda which are full of fallacies.
Still, I browse through your articles but discard most of them even before half way through. May be, I am expecting something else from a guy like you or I can’t understand your rationalities to write lengthy articles on trivial issues.
Now, I am sorry to say this because it is not my style to find faults with others but I thought you can take this as a constructive criticism expecting you to do better.

I was that sakkiliya, thank you very much. Next time have the backbone to say it who he is.
If this is the way want to be closer to your own brothers and sisters, you have made a big miscalculation.
Whatever claims I make here, I can justify them. The question is can you justify yours?
Navindran,
DONT WORRY. OUR DEFENCE SPENDING IS NOW GREATLY REDUCED THANKS TO OUR TAMIL DIASPORA WHO HAVE CONTRIBUTED IMMENSELY VIA LTTE.
VERY SOON WE WILL BE ABLE TO EXPORT OUR SURPLUS TO TOILETNADU SO THAT THEY CAN START THEIR PEELAM WAR.
Moshe Dyan said...
the hostage theory on the lahore attack doesn't hold.
1. terrorists fired at the bus indiscriminately until they were countered and the bus sped away
2. also launched a grenede that missed the bus!! had it struck, the damage would have be HUGE
------------------
I haven't seen the whole vidoe of the attack. Is there such a video. Can this be because they realized that they did not manage to stop the bus. I mean, only way to stop a bus that is speeding away is to shoot, or fire at it. Although they might have not planned it as they realize it was not stoping, that would have been the only option.
There are some videos of the Terrorist getting away from the scene so easily. My theory still is this is a Terrorist job with the approval of the Government or the Intelligence agencies. Maybe Muslim Terrorists showing Solidarity with Tamil Terrorists.
If they have taken Sri Lankan team hostage, that would have seriously affected our War effort without any doubt.
US says attack on cricket team is to dampen positive relations between Pakistan and Sri Lanka
Wednesday, March 4, 2009, 7:30 GMT, ColomboPage News Desk, Sri Lanka.
Mar 04, Washington, D.C.: The United States condemning yesterday's terrorist attack on the Sri Lanka national cricket team in Lahore, Pakistan, said it is an attack on the positive relations that exist between the two countries.
Acting State Department Deputy Spokesman Gordan Duguid responding to a question from media during the daily press briefing at the State Department yesterday (March 03) expressed this view.
"We condemn this vicious attack on innocent civilians, but also on the positive relations that Pakistan and Sri Lanka are trying to enjoy. This is not just an attack on individuals; this is an attack on peaceful, normal relations. And we utterly condemn this terrorist attack," Mr. Duguid said.
"We send our condolences to the families of the victims, and we send our condolences to the injured and the wounded. The Pakistani police, I am given to understand, were extremely brave in protecting their charges, and should be commended," the spokesman added.
There is suspicion that the LTTE who are at the verge of total annihilation by the Sri Lankan Army may be behind the attack to disrupt the military support Sri Lanka receives from Pakistan.
Pakistan is a great supporter of Sri Lanka in the war against the LTTE Tigers and a supplier of high-tech military equipment to the Sri Lankan army.
Navindran How are you? What is the today's exchange rate?

Thanks for the nice comments, however I never think of me that way. There are number of bloggers inspire me from their writing skills and ideas. You can include two more writers to your list: Rover and Kokawela and there can be many others, can't think of them now.
However I agree with this below: A community with ability to be independent is a treasure to a nation. I can't say the same thing about our Terra-Friendly Tamil brothers. They all sounds like genetically cloned from something.
"All above characters are exhibiting strong independence from others. It is a very desirable quality in a blog like this."
Dear priya the arse-ithri licker,
"If you still don't believe that Wijayapala is a TNA Tamil racist read what he wrote about Hon Kadirgamar.
"How many people considered Kadir as "ape Kadir"?"
That's a very good question- how many people (Sinhalese) indeed would have voted for Kadir, the pro-SL and anti-LTTE Tamil, as President? I had answered that by posing the following question:
If you think Kadirgamar really had a shot at being elected President, then kindly explain why he could only be elected to Parliament on the National List? How come he did not have a constituency?
I'm waiting for your answer to that simple question, priya. Kindly refrain from dodging the question with your typical hot air. You are free to get help from Mushe or Schizo Sam.

------------------------
Normally race is not Relevent to Patritism. But right now their how many Tamils can we trust with Top Defence posts. There are very few tamils who are patriotic and think that Sri Lanka is their country as well as Sinhalese. But quite a few of them still supports idea of the eelam. Once that disapears we can say race does not matter. This is not the case with African Americans where they supported U.S even when they were treated like dogs by white americans.
The closest country we can compare our selves in this situation is Isreal. I wonder how many Palestinians living in Isreal are patriotic to Isreal and how many of them are in their defence forces.
Hopefully one day Sinhalese, Tamils and Muslims becomes Sri Lankan patriots.

Two questions:

2) How can we change this mindset?

My point is the skills learned is not the most productive if you don't have to way to apply them.
Nigeria has a very strong educated youth in IT and they got nothing productive to do. So what do they do? They scam people around the world (remember famous Nigerian Scam).

@ RC,
Thanks for reminding me about Sujeewa and Rover. Yes, I enjoyed immensely reading their posts. I knew when I wrote that post, I missed some good writers but couldn’t grasp their names quick enough to include.
I may have still missed some others who do worthwhile posts. My apology for missing ones as it was not deliberate.
thusitha,
i watched a graphical enactment of the events.
1. 2 cars were parked on the road and the bus stopped
2. terrorists shot at the bus. (not sure they shot at it b4 stopping??)
3. terrorists launched a grenede and missed
4. security engaged the terrorists
5. the bus driver sped away

Tamil "militancy" may not have begun in 1956, but the TAMIL RACIST, SUPREMACIST AND COMPLETELY UNJUSTIFIED DEMANDS which eventually lead to Tamil militancy and then to LTTE Terrorism, started long before 1956!
DefenceWire
I was just wondering if you could clarify further that who is the head of LTTE’s military intelligence unit at present. Because when former head of LTTE’s military intelligence, Charles, was killed, LTTE announced that he was replaced by Ratnam Master. But when Balraj died of heart attack the LTTE published pictures of other cadres paying last respect to Balraj and claimed at that time Sasikumar Master as the head of military intelligence again. Just for the record he was the one that founded the LTTE’s military intelligence in the first place in 1993.
For more details visit http://theltteinsider.blogspot.com/
Please let me know the details so that can also update my blog where I detailed the LTTE’s military intelligence unit; and keep up your good work.
wijayapala said...
Thusitha,
Two questions:
1) How come few Tamils are patriotic? (I guess that begs another question- how many Sinhalese are "patriotic?")
2) How can we change this mindset?
------
Answer 1) Perception of Injustice done by Sinhalese. Tamils should take periods (such as 1800 -1900, 1900-1950, 1950-2000) etc. and then figure how monorities were treated by people of ther countries. Then should compare how we treated Tamils. Then it would be clear we haven't treated them that bad. No point comparing apples with oranges. This will take away Tamils victimization phycology.
Answer 2) Teach Tamils what actually equal rights means. Lot of Tamils seems to be confused by what is meant by equal rights. It is sharing equally among every one on a prorata basis. Get some proper statistics, and see where people are getting discriminated, see whether race is a factor, and then fix it. Do it scientifically and not this bulshit propaganda fasion. People are educated, and they will listen to science.
Try to create Tamil leaders who try to promote the well being of Tamil people instead of trying to promote Eelam who is acceptable to Sinhalese as well.
Wijayapala's questions made me ponder about this:
Who are Patriots?
"one who loves and defends his or her country "
I think the 'love' part is easy.
The 'defends' part is very complicated since we tend approach that in different ways. The defend doesn't necessarily mean militarily. The defend can be freedom of expression, religion, and whatever all human expectations except freedom to separate.
To me, patriotism is a double edge sward. Those who think who are patriots can use it to cut both the enemy and none enemy as well.
Moshe,
I think Lahore attack is a hostage and suicide drama which went terribly wrong due to brave policemen. They wanted to get into the bus after nullifying security contingent. Bus driver foiled the plot by driving without stopping.
They were aiming to take the bus with all passengers to a better location and start demanding; which they couldn’t do, so ran away to safety.
I also think Pakistan security got terrorist moles within them.

Internet is the best thing that happen to this earth. It connect people of differnt cultures together and removes the divisions among people. That is why less and less people take up arms and violence is reducing throught out the world. Also a valuble source of information.
About
junk like porn and other scams
Haha. I wonder anyone would be able to stop that. There is a saying when you drop one bad habit, you take up on another.
To Sivanesan and others with similar views:
Considering your concern is genuine, we should look at the current situation. LTTE is currently trapped into a small area. If forces did not think about civilians they will need only one day to wipe out all of LTTE. Forces are holding back and treating civilians to the best they can (refer to: civilian feedback and Jaffna UTHR). Outside people can get negative image of the forces if you do not understand the Sri Lankan situation, follow pro-LTTE media and does not trust the forces. But visiting international agencies such as UN and India along with many other countries has agreed with the government approach. Many of us know that the government forces will definitely try to avoid civilian casualties. But we all know very well that it is the LTTE who is attacking from the no fire zone and also fire at fleeing civilians (based on the comments from the escaped people). Forces will rescue civilians but it will take time. It is not that they are not doing anything. At the moment they are taking more casualties because of this. We should understand that this is a huge rescue mission.
Also, from another context, most of the moderate Tamils kept quite too long. We know that anybody will be threatened from LT or get killed if they try to make a voice against LTTE. This has led to paint a picture of the Tamil community as a terrorist group. Therefore, Tamils has to make proactive actions against LTTE to make their name clear. If there is a will, there is a way. After all LTTE has destroyed a beautiful country, socially and economically. If we claim to be a citizen of any society or country, we should contribute to develop the society or country. What LTTE has done is to destroy a society and a country. So, trust the government forces that they will do whatever possible to save civilians and remove the terrorism. Otherwise, we have to ask from us whether we are ready to destroy Sri Lanka for another 30 years with all the deaths and destruction.
Patriots,
I saw this uploaded video today with some live action shots from PTK. One brave army chap in the video says 'Path karala gahanawa, path karala gahanawa'.

If you any of you chaps got videos of live action from the front please post here.

On Patriotism
Usually, the very nature of human beings is:
Selfishness first, oneself and his/her family comes first followed by job or business, relatives and friends. Then come Alma matter, work place, village or town, race and religion. Last thing is the country.
However, if one is not using his/country opportunistically for undue gains at the expense of the country; he is a patriot.
Nobody like to die, loose materialistic wealth or loved ones on patriotism.
Wijayapala aka WesaBalla aka Asithi Licker aka Echolalia,
I have answered that question last year.
Since you TNA motherfuckker knows nothing about Sri Lankan elections I will explain it to you.
What was the constituency of Shrima Disanayake? Except for two candidates at every president election, did the others have a constituency idiot? Use your shit brain and think.
Kadir didn’t want to have a constituency to become suitable for the top job. He would definitely become PM in MR’s government if you sakkiliyas didn’t kill him.
You haven’t pasted the other part.
wijayapala said...
Prime Minister yes, because that is a pretty hollow, useless position like the US Vice President (that's why McCain chose Palin as his nominee). President no, because Kadirgamar simply did not have the right "touch" with the masses (i.e. nobody would've ever called him "ape Katharagama").
If you think Kadirgamar really had a shot at being elected President, then kindly explain why he could only be elected to Parliament on the National List? How come he did not have a constituency?
Kadir was not a racist Tamil and he still would never have been able to become President. On the other hand we have had plenty of racist Sinhalese like Dinesh Gunawardene who have been gifted with ministries. They certainly did not believe in the "Sri Lankan first Sinhala second" concept.
October 10, 2008 7:16 AM
Sakkiliyo, Dinesh is not a racist but you are.
I have a question for you.
Are you still part of the Sandakal, Pradeep and Tracey family?
Really Cold
I didn't say you supported federalism like Sivanesan did. What I said was that I see the same trend used by the UNP and the likes of sivanesan that you ALL try to describe the division in a way that sounds that "your side" is brighter than the "other side" by CLAIMING so. For you, what happens to wijepala here is the "best and the brightest" getting attacked. What Sivanesan claims is that the "other" sinhalese are disregarding "educated sinhalese'" opinion.
I didn't think wijepala talks even as much sense as you some of the time.
About your govt/private sector difference, I have worked in private sector too and have seen what kind of idiots can run private sector too. But this topic isn't my interest. When you said "killed" I thought something else.
Patriots,
Take a look at this interview with Major General Jagath Dias from the location they dug up several 130mm artillery pieces. The TV reporter fellow asked him what he thinks the final outcome for the terrorists would be. His answer 'we will kill them all'.
video
Cheers!
we love to hate india for obvious reasons. the operative word here is 'hate'. Hate does not solve anyone's problems. This is best practice humanism 101.
As the events of yesterday unfolded, it was natural for most of us (including me) to direct our hate towards india. Howevr anyone who have realised long term repercussions will know things does not look good for the entire region unless we find seek peaceful outcomes to these problems.
An unstable india does not help us in any way. If Pakistan retaliates the economic fall out will be incalculable. The ideal long term solution lies in settling the Kashmir issue permanently. Ineed I hope Mahinda can use the SARRC platform and become a mediator because we are neutral allies pf both countries. I hope both India and Pakistan realise the value of Mahinda Rajapaske as a shrewd operator that can solve these problems for them.
We also need to find a long term solution for Indian insecurity in the southern region. They have nuclear facility there. In 1980 JRJ went ahead apporoving VoA station in the midst of Indian oppositin. The repercussions from that decision is what we are still facing.
It is true as a sovereign nation we must have the freedom to do as we please without external interferece. However, if our decision leaves our neighbours living in fear, then it is not a sustainable solution. We must aim for solutions that leaves no one living in fear, for fear is what destry peopel and nations in the end.
If sophisticated electronics based on the soil of SL can spy on sothern indian security installations, then so can a ship that sail past this area. ideally what they should do is move these installations further inwards towards the cneter of India. Taking revenge and bullying a small country should be embarrassing for a super power nation.
As long term solution, India must move these installations somewhere out of range. How realistic is this though when overhead satellites can do the same? The best defense probably lies within.
Nevertheless, as a nation trying to look resonsible its must address these past injustices. We need people who were responsible for this decision taken to courts. Jain commission was not good enough. We also need to be compensated for the damage caused. We can then finally move on towards prosperity togeater.
Kastury, cheers I am honored.

Panhinda,
You welcome mate!
Your last post remind me my lengthy argument with Ananda-USA. My school of thoughts were very similar to facts and reasons you have mentioned in the post. However, Ananda disagreed with me. His basic idea was to be auspices with India and develop defence systems to match India.
My thoughts were, we cannot compete with India in a defence race, instead to develop good relations with our giant neighbour to rise with India economically. We cannot antagonise India and survive with Pakistan and China alone. Good and honest relationship with India will go further than any other strategy.

Chris Broad, a former England batsman and referee for the match who was on the same bus as Davis, said the “presidential style” security promised by authorities hadn’t been provided.
“Questions need to be asked of the Pakistan security forces,” Broad said yesterday on his return to Britain. “They left the scene and left us to be sitting ducks.”

Yesterday I said it even without seeing the video, but this confirms it. The people who meant to protect the people dissapeared.
The security people was not protecting any one but themseleves.

It was sad and could have been a massive tragedy! That’s why we need to kill (LTTE) Terrorists!
But I thought to make something out of what could have been a tragedy! thanks god/Allah/ elephant god!
I, myself almost drowned in Minneriya Tank (with 4 others) once trying to swim across to a small sand island and first one to jump to the water to save us was a local guy (who already had few Kasiya shots) watching us from the banks. Fortunately a small fishing boat saw us and came to rescue but they had to rescue our wannabe rescuer/local guy first who was too drunk and fcuked up before us! We had to push him to the boat first and then hang onto the side of the boat till they got us to the shore! : )) and he/local guy thanked us for saving him and we thanked him for trying to save us and his bravery and we all thanked boat/fishing guys for saving us! : ))
Hope u all like this! Don’t like it? try collapsed comments! : ))

I know all you chaps will start partying like mad when the last Eelam ape is sent six feet underground in a few days. So as to get an early start on the celebrations, I have started a project to document our time honored drinking songs in my blog.
Please visit my blog and contribute any missing verses or new songs you remember. I have started out with two version of the classic 'Inki Pinki Paaravo' for now. But I can see this growing into a very big archive, preserving for posterity these much loved songs for our progeny to enjoy.
Cheers!

Do you expect any changes to cricket in future..? Like every one wears bullet proof jackets, there are bunkers inside play ground.. fielders now inside bunkers and come out if the ball is closing.. batsmen also inside bunker near wicket.. same for wicket keeper..
/..when the last Eelam ape is sent six feet underground in a few days./
We need to keep one alive.. in Dehiwala.. you know where.. AmmaGG can write the display board..
LTTE supporters, tribbute to you guys from me :)

Please add a note to your blog.. saying who is real Konappau Bandara..
Ninja, dear chap, I am finishing up an article on our beloved king Wimadharmasuriya, which I will definitely post there. As you can see he is my favorite king who came to our countries rescue when the last independent kingdom was about to be snuffed out by Portuguese.
Cheers!
chinthana,
අඩෝ ඒක මාරයි බං.. වැඩට යන්නත් පරක්කු වෙලා. ගෑනි අහනවා මේ දවස් වල කම්පුටරේ ලඟමයි ඉන්නේ වෙන වැඩක් නැද්ද කියලා. මේක දැකල ජාරාව බලනවයි කියල මට බැණ බැණ ගියා...
agg,
welcome back! what not happened in your absense!!!
mates became primates, gods became dogs, apes became rapes.
so mu-barak tried to be the captain by getting rid of better players. he should be sacked from the team at least now.
ranilb5,
cheers!

G”day Ninja, Thanks and ha ha yeh.. Cricketers might start wearing bullet proof west. But I would like to c them wearing Suicide jackets from LTTE. In that case, if u run-out other guy, he can pull ur string…and BOOM! If u throw ur wicket poking at out-swing delivery then u can pull ur sting by ur self because if u to go to the dressing room then captain will pull it for u! ha ha ha BOOM (Mahanama and Hathurusinghe would have no chance surviving ha ha ) If u drop a catch then bowler will pull it and if the team to loss a match then they can gather round and pull all strings @ once! Just like LTTP planning to do soon!
Moshe, Thanks and yeh, Mu-Barak seems the only mole (or hole) in the team! Ha ha Very recently Hashan came out swinging @ SLCB and pretty-much every Dick and Harry (finally some one had a guts to do that) saying SLCB trying to get no-back bone puppet to Captain when Mahela goes. Is it Mu-Barak? I don’t think so! I just took the piss-out of him! : ))
Guys,
This is the latest talk in town.
As we all know, the plan of the terrorists who attacked the Sri Lankan team had been to take the entire team hostage. Latest reports say that the terrorists didn’t target the bus and if the terrorists wanted to attack the bus, they would have easily attacked the bus. What they wanted is to kill all security personal that were providing security to the team and to kill the bus driver and to drive away the bus.
The talk is that, the LTTE hired these terrorists and after taking the team hostage, to put demands to the Lankan government to release the Cricketers. God knows what the demands was to be, but for sure a cease-fire.
I was just wondering…. Has this article been taken from ‘lankanewspapers’ or ‘lankanewspapers’ has robbed it from defencewire.

Master Wijayapala,
Sir, Question for you!
Could you please elaborate critically with details on discrimination charge made by SL Tamils against majority Sinhala people without referring to communal violence that happened time to time from 1950 to 1983?
If you want to mention communal riots; you may do so but concentrate on other aspects of discrimination for us to understand and correct ourselves in the future.
Thanks in advance.

I like that version and it makes sense. Lets spread this on the web (no matter its true or not.) As usual, our village folks come with the best.
None of media pundits (or any blogger here) couldn't come up with this kind of propaganda. Our claims India/RAW or PK itself did this certainly backfire us and they really have no reason to target our cricket team.
Moshe,
Binara = September
Is that what you ment Priyashantha?
JWick,
"Tamil "militancy" may not have begun in 1956, but the TAMIL RACIST, SUPREMACIST AND COMPLETELY UNJUSTIFIED DEMANDS which eventually lead to Tamil militancy and then to LTTE Terrorism, started long before 1956!"
Which pre-1956 demands are you referring to? All of them had to do with representation in Colombo, and none of them involved devolution of power/federalism/"Tamil nation" (that started after 1956).
It can't be GG Ponnambalam's "50-50 representation," because the Tamil Congress did not really complain after the Soulbury Commission rejected it and Ponnambalam even participated in the 1st independence govt as a Cabinet Minister.
Ninja Bro,
