proud to be a citizen of free prospering peaceful Sri Lanka

while being proud, we should remember and cherish those who sacrificed and contributed to make sri lanka free, peaceful, and prospering.

we should also keep our eyes open for those who tried to keep sri lanka enslaved, violent, and stagnant, for 30 years; local and foreign racists, and especially ngo slave scum funded by hypocritical west.

a slave ship and western hypocrisy

this is the plan of 'stowage of the british slave ship 'brookes' under the regulated slave trade, act of 1788'. 

feel free to click on the image and zoom in to observe the horrible conditions under which slaves were transported to america. 

under the named act it could lawfully carry 454 slaves. before that in a 1782 trip it carried 609 slaves(351 men, 127 women, 90 boys, and 41 girls) in the same space.

this continued even as washington, jefferson, adams, franklin, and others(some of them slave owners) were declaring in 1776, "we hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness". 

in 1789, constitution of the united states with similar high sounding phrases went in to effect. slave trade and slave labor continued. 

in other words, usa was founded by hypocrites with hypocrisy as its guiding principle. same can be said of other western states.

usa has not changed, 220+ years on.

usa is invading, occupying, imposing, interfering, in other countries. under mass murdering leaders like obama, bush, clintons, and others, it is looting other people's resources in every possible way to satisfy and keep intact the empty lifestyles and parasitic welfare needs of its increasingly lazy, ignorant, and barbaric, population. to do so they are callously drone killing the innocents, torturing the unarmed, violently suppressing dissent & resistance in occupied countries, and committing all sorts of other atrocities and human rights violations.

usa's brutish slavedog countries, like britain, follow in its wake feeding on mangled corpses of raped innocents.

in spite of all that horror, they shamelessly preach to us, sri lankans, about human rights, democracy, and reconciliation. they, through their tools in united nations and various ngos, try to punish people who by defeating an armed gang of murderers, called tamil tigers, ensured freedom to exercise basic human rights here.

west's real aim is probably establishment of a slavish government here that act in western interests rather than sri lankan interests.    

whether they will succeed is a different question, i will deal with later in detail. for now, i will say they will not, if government here acts shrewdly and with courage. thanks god west is no longer as powerful as it once was.

the point i am making here is that nobody with any brains, in sri lanka or elsewhere, can be under any illusion that usa means what it says about rights, democracy, justice, etc..

when usa's bloody functionaries say those things, they are merely practicing their country's fundamental ingrained hypocrisy. 

we, individual sri lankans, who are not slaves (unlike the filth who work in western funded ngos) should aggressively challenge those statements whenever we can. we can still do that. we are not in a slave ship but a free country. let us keep it that way, by exposing the hypocrisy of americans, and their slaves, local or foreign.

hear the firecrackers of prosperity?

i was awakened at midnight last night by the loud and continuous explosions of firecrackers heralding the Christmas month.  noise continued in the morning and even now there there are few occasional bursts.

fact that during last few years, this noise, indicator of people's happy expectations for Christmas, has grown louder and louder, in line with the actual increased spending during year end holiday season, is yet another unofficial testament to sri lanka's continued healthy economic growth rate; 6%+ this year in spite of global slowdown, currency depreciation, and contractions in some of sl's western export markets.

i would be very worried if i was in the opposition. thankfully i am not!

happy spending season for all! 

 ෴

p.s.

don't forget to spread the spirit to those who fail to take the opportunities opened up by peace and get left behind. hopefully spreading the cheer will get them motivated to take responsibility for their own well being in future.

british/western cheating & unsportsmanlike conduct continues at london 2012 olympics

just imagine what would have happened if a chinese (or any other non western) athlete has said the following after winning a gold medal:

"so i crashed, i did it on purpose just to get the restart, just to have the fastest ride. it was all planned really. when that [wheel skid] happens you can lose so much time. my only chance was to crash and get the restart. i think they knew i'd done it on purpose. we were speaking yesterday, that if anything happens someone has to crash. so i did it."

this was said to bbc by great britain track cyclist for men's team sprint, philip hindes (others in same team are sir(!) chris hoy and jason kenny). they won the gold.

after this what did the olympic and british authorities do?  britsh cycling body claimed the statement above delivered in clear english by a german born briton living in england with an english father,was "lost in translation". international olympic committee (ioc) said they will NOT look in to it.

so much for fair play!  

badminton 

now observe how the same authorities treated four pairs (2 south korean,1 chinese,1 indonesian) of women's doubles at badminton when they tried to lose some games in group stage so that they can get less intimidating opponents in quarterfinals. all 4 pairs were disqualified and sent home. 

what these women attempted to do (lose a game to be better placed to win the tournament) is a common tactic in sports where the tournament format has a group stage. and it is the same  sporting authorities who have discarded the knockout format used in previous olympic games and in table tennis, and introduced a group format, disregarding advice about the consequences.     

imo what these women did was against the spirit of olympics, and i am not going to defend them (nor have chinese and indonesian authorities defended them). but they were not cheaters.

british track cyclists were cheaters, in addition to being against the spirit of olympics.

western media

notice how there is hardly a mention of the british cheating incident in western media. in most of what there is, they falsely claim british were "cleared" when in fact no inquiry was held.

Ye Shiwen

compare that with furor over Ye Shiwen, world record breaking swimmer, who was hounded by western media with completely baseless allegations of doping even after the it became clear that she has passed all dope tests. all the major western media outlets with despicable uk guardian newspaper leading the rapists, with clare balding and bob costas at main british and american broadcasters of games (bbc & nbc) assisting, piled on top of the 16 year old. 

in order to justify their vile claims against the girl, they made up silly excuses. such as the false comparison between ye's faster last 50m in 400m medley and ryan lochte's last 50m in men's 400m medley. (in the process deliberately forgetting that locte was slower than 3 other swimmers in his event in that last 50m, even though he won it). 

katie ledecky

they continued to claim Ye was a complete unknown when in fact she has participated in world championships and asian games and won. in contrast, when a real unknown katie ledecky, who has no winning record, win the 800m freestyle close to world record time there is no questioning from western media . why? bc ledecky is american. 

what better way to illustrate the barbarous western racism than this clear double standard.

to be fair some media outlets have tried to back track.(see here, here and here, esp for their debunking of false claims.) but its too little, too late.

will it get uglier?

given the western preference for winning at any cost it will certainly stay ugly. 

i have not even mentioned how amercan swimmers phelps, lochte, and missy franklin, were given preferential treatment to warm up in diving pool next to racing pool in full view of media, while other athletes had make do with some back pool, corridors away.

or how brazil's women football team was stranded on some roadside for 5 hours before a crucial game with great britain. was that sabotage as brazilians claim, or your average british incompetence in organizing?

that well known incompetence was in full evidence at the games; empty seats fiasco, starter machines that go off before athletes are given 'get set' signal, same athletes scheduled at the same time in two events (in tennis, etc), creaky website with elementary errors(one cannot get to full list schedule through links bc instead putting '04-august' in url link it is '4-august'), leader to follower time splits displayed in road cycling and rowing going bonkers, incomprehensible scoring at boxing, etc, etc,

yes! in spite of many excellent performances by athletes from world over, these london 2012 games are certainly solidifying their reputation as the ugliest and most racist olympic games ever.

but then what did ioc expect when giving the games to genocidal britain? fair play!? lol.

Ye Shiwen and american/british unsportsmanlike behavior

i have long pointed out the total absence of civilized values among modern westerners, in particular among british and americans.

they provided further proof of this when they attacked 16-year-old swimmer, gold medal winner, and world record breaker, Ye Shiwen, of "doping", yesterday (you can find more western viciousness here, and many other western media outlets)

on what grounds? nothing at all! she in fact has a completely clean record. nor is her improvement in performance extra special. holder of record she broke (by just 1sec), stephanie rice, displayed much bigger improvement when she established the record. so have others. iow there are no grounds for any accusation.

other than westerners finding her achievements "astonishing"! 

yes, westerners find great performances from non westerners, a crime. 

esp so if they are the ones losing out due to the performance concerned. contrast that despicable attitude with west's justifiable adulation of their own teenage and/or extraordinary performances from likes of missy franklin this year, michael phelps in 2008, and others through the years.  

 

this is true not just in sports, but with regard to achievements in art, science, technology, business, war, etc, etc..

[btw when it comes to substantiated cases, west leads the world, both in number and in profile, of athletes concerned, in doping.]

all excuses advanced by westerners for raising questions about Ye can be raised about many western sportsmen/women. so questioners should answer why they did not raise them before with regard to ppl like rice, phelps, etc. 

while west will get temporary relief for their bitter frustrations from such claims of sour grapes, they are of course not going to get real lasting benefits, if their targets, and world at large, stand their ground and expose the baseness of western attempts.

i think the target here, Ye Shiwen, in spite of her youth, will prove herself during this olympic games as well as during a long and successful career. 

in addition we as observers should not stay silent in this case and at other times when vile western character displays itself.

as i have said here before, while keeping solid records of their filthy behavior for future, we must also expose and confront the racist scum aggressively, in whatever capacity we have, however small or ineffective at present. 

civilization was/is/will be maintained by individuals doing the decent thing in face of baseness and barbarity.

෴

ps

while free ppl will do the decent thing, slavish ppl will obey and parrot western masters. sort of ass licker who found the insipid uninspired joke of an opening ceremony "impressive", will no doubt find it congenial to enjoy the attempted public rape a 16 year old. look no further than political sleazebag rohan samarajiva's son indi samarajiva, of many blogs like indi.ca and padashow, for a good example of this kind of slave.
