disaster ahead! pederast ranil's unp fails to get majority, will ruin country, & fall

in spite of trying through his puppet sirisena to destabilize opposing major party, slfp led upfa, by removing general secretaries and central committee members in the final days of election. ranil's unp utterly failed to secure a simple majority.

it got only 105 seats, and a majority needs 113.  

even in that 105, its not all unp. it includes hela urumaya, slfp breakaways loyal to chandrika, slmc and breakaways members, various cwc elements, and few other parties. they may get 1 slmc mp elected independently, and perhaps devananda from epdp. but all these small groups will demand their share of loot. since their primary motive for getting together was to oppose mahinda, some of what they what contradict each other.

he would be tempted by tamil racists of tna, but will explode himself if he gives into any of their demands. 

no doubt ranil is counting on puppet and chandrika to get slfp members to defect. and indeed some will. but they will be digging their own political graves, because government wont be able to function or last long even with them. 

for in addition to above political reality, there is the economic reality; we are heading for fiscal and balance of payment crises. this stems from 3 main sources,

• irresponsible budget of the so called yahapalana government, 
• attempt by unp to extort kick backs from from investors through arbitrary illegal stoppage of projects and contracts, 
• incompetent and corrupt government financing resulting in  government borrowing more in 1 six months than whole of last year, (and unlike last year has nothing to show for it).

imf will be called in. but will demand austerity, with welfare and public service cuts. can such a punny government push that through? will ranil go beg chinese to help out, after slandering all the chinese dealing with sri lanka of corruption (and will his western masters allow him)? he is certainly not going to get economic aid or investment from west however slavishly he acts towards them. and india simply can't help. 

as an opponent of this piece of human garbage, i would have enjoyed ranil's desperate flailings in next few months, but unfortunately his incompetence will bring disaster on countless innocent sri lankans. that is what some of his foreign backers (especially tamil diaspora) wants, but we don't. but such suffering is inevitable consequence of electing puppet and then letting ranil through backdoor. 

hopefully (in fact almost certainly) within a year all this will be played out and we will finally get rid of filthy idiot ranil and his toyboys for good.

corrupt ngo hypocrites of ranil praise sirisena's dictatorial actions

puppet sirisena is trying his best to suppress free expression of sri lankan political opinion through a free and fair election. in order to do that he is tyrannically removing general secretaries of upfa & slfp, and sacking members of slfp central committee wholesale. remember this is done to cripple one of the two major parties during final stages of an election, and to effect the outcome of election by changing national list appointees.

he is of course driven to this by corrupt pederast ranil. who never won, and knows that he will never  win, a free and fair election.

but note how foreign paid ngo scum are praising these blatantly undemocratic actions. these same people opposed defeating of child killing terrorist pussies. for an example, read indi samarajiva,  member of an utterly corrupt political appointee family. typical of the type, he is totally incapable of working for a living, has no qualifications to speak of, has inexplicably lost money on various web projects which he gets others to create at slave wages, and has hung around one ngo after another. (btw in a blatant act of nepotism, after his corrupt political appointee father got him a job at a mobile company, he manged to extort substantial exit money from it after working just 1 year). such people are so rotten in their heads and so short sighted, they cannot even see the obvious facts.

we, sri lankans defeated such scum when they supported tigers, and we will do so again in spite of all their schemes.

as i said day before election, ranil wont be able to form a stable government even with such corruption and illegal dictatorial violence. political and economic realities will catch up with him, and his toyboys, within a year at most. and true opinion of sri lankans will prevail soon enough.    

when that happens, let us remember filth like indi, scum who are willing to praise any anti democratic tyrannical corrupt action harmful sri lankans, just as long as they get dollars pushed into their holes. their incompetent lazy ass noses should be rubbed on their own words till they vomit all their ill gotten dollars out.

contrast the choices on offer before voting

here i will give a brief contrast between choices available in tomorrow's voting. decide if i am right or wrong (or omitted anything). then clarify and express your thoughts rationally here(or just in your own mind). then go vote.

practically choice is between a country led by mahinda or by ranil. (sirisena is clearly incapable of leading on his own, has no substantive independent political support, and is only capable of arbitrary actions that can be circumvented). 

minor parties 

while minor parties a technically choices, voting for them is a vote wasted if our aim is to choose next government. one can vote for such parties for other reasons. for instance, tamil racists can vote for despicable tna, impractical idiots living in past blind to present day realities can vote for jvp, etc. 

btw there are no libertarian choices at all, even if i wanted to waste my vote intentionally.  

---

main criteria for contrasting mahinda and ranil are,

• their past records. 
• likely future government they will form

past records

mahinda has an impressive record of delivering what he promised. with few blemishes.

• terrorists were defeated, peace achieved.
• economic growth rate reached new sustained highs, debt to gdp percentage was reduced to 70% from close to 100%, foreign reserves reached $9b+, inflation was reduced to low single digits, unprecedented infrastructure development, expansion of tourism, etc.,etc..
• independent non aligned foreign policy, using china to balance india's intrusions and west's waning hegemony.    
• far from being a dictator as alleged, democracy prevailed to the extant that he allowed conditions for elections that can defeat him, and when defeated, promptly left office. constitutional impeachment of a chief justice. misuse of state media and resources for propaganda. 
• alleged corruption (though not one charge has been proven by new government in-spite of having ample opportunity and usage of extra legal methods of investigation, such as fcid), nepotism.

in contrast ranil's record is one of dismal incompetence. plus all the blemishes that mahinda has.

• he failed in his dealing with terrorists and some of those dealings were downright traitorous and cost blood of innocents. he still panders to remaining followers of terrorists' racist ideology. 
• wasn't able to make much change in economic growth or debt in previous periods of governing. this year,through an irresponsible budget, he managed to bring down growth and reserves, and increase debt, with nothing whatever to show for any of that. stopping variety of infrastructure developments on flimsy grounds(in order to extort kick backs) with disastrous consequences for economy.
• slavishly panders to west, and obeys india. with sri lanka getting nothing, absolute zero, in return. 
• has a record of acting dictatorially and illegally, using fine print and loopholes, instead of openly, to retain power in country or in his own party. violation of constitution to remove a chief justice. was implicated in torture camps during 1980s, using dictatorial methods through puppet sirisena to prevent mahinda and party from contesting fairly and freely. use of illegal methods and false investigations to harass political opponents. misuse of state media and resources for propaganda. 
• clearly the mover behind central bank bond scum this year, and related attempted cover ups to protect governor in order stop evidence implicating himself. widespread attempt to extort foreign investors through stoppage of infrastructure developments by his government. nepotism.  

likely future governments

now let us contrast the conditions and methods that each will face and use after election if they form a government.

mahinda led upfa has a chance to obtain a clear majority, if free and fair elections were held. in that case sisrisena will be forced to make him prime minister. even if upfa fails to get a clear majority due to dictatorial actions of the ranil's puppet, upfa may get more seats than any other party. in which case even if puppet allows ranil to form a government, and he accepts, it will be extremely unstable(see below) and will fall within a year at most. and mahinda will be made prime minster eventually.

mahinda has shown he can get variety of non upfa mps to support his government and more importantly his polices. though puppet may try to destablize it few years down, it will be stable in mid term. such a stable government will be similar in its polices to mahinda government before january 8, offering economic growth security, and independence (with crony capitalism). terrorists and their racist ideology will be repressed. there would of course be retaliatory prosecution of ranil and supporters. imo such a government was and is a good thing. you are free to differ.

ranil will not get a clear majority. most probably unp led alliance will get 2nd most number of seats (with extremely slight chance of getting more than upfa). in either case, puppet may ask him to form government. which will depend on upfa defections, tamil and muslim racists and extremists, hela urumaya sinhala extremists, jvp marxist extremists, etc., etc..  ranil, in contrast to mahinda, has no record of getting others to follow his polices. government will be unstable and will struggle to pass any legislation. if same irresponsible polices, as present, are continued, economy will be facing great disaster by end of this year. but reversal of such policies (during next budget) will be politically impossible.  government will fall. imo such a government would be bad for country.

contrast between choices available are clear. clarify your thoughts, refute me if possible. then vote rationally.

corrupt ranil behind attempt to subvert election

filthy pederast ranil, who never won a free and fair election, knows through his foreign imported, public funded, illegally privately used, pollsters, that he is heading for another defeat. 

so,
with his hands red with blood of sri lankan children sacrificed to tigers in his last attempt to remain in power,
his sick mind craving sadistic pleasures he derived when he personally supervised the tortures during 1980s,
knowing that there is solid evidence to convict him as the primary mover behind central bank bond scum,
etc., etc.,  
he is masterminding his puppet dictator sirisena's desperate attempt to repress the will of the sri lankan people during upcoming election.

sirisena's own interests would have been better served by waiting till after the election to undermine mahinda, especially if mahinda led upfa failed to get a clear majority. but ranil convinced him that mahinda led upfa is heading for a solid majority in order to to make him act now. 

ranil himself was convinced of his own defeat at least by last monday. he was obviously ill at ease and irritable during media interviews last week (in contrast to relaxed mahinda).  ranil was positively glum during last press conference with his alliance partners.

when ranil's attempt at illegally remaining in power through the help of his puppet is fully defeated (with luck this will happen just after the election, but certainly within a year, after all their schemes, some of which will be unfolded after the election, get unraveled when faced with political and economic realities), sri lankans must remember to be just in handing out retribution. ranil should be the primary focus. and no pity should be shown to him. 

෴

postpone election to ensure fairness and freedom

backdoor ranil's puppet dictator sirisena is desperately trying his best to prevent a mahinda led upfa victory by 'sacking' general secretaries of upfa and slfp. this is done to prevent them from appointing polling agents and nominating national list mps after election.

to ensure free and fair elections, election commissioner, should postpone the election till courts definitely rule on legitimacy of dictator's attempt to sack general secretaries of these major parties. it should be postponed to a date after the advanced level exams currently being held.

if this cannot be done, 

• he should ensure that individual candidates have the right to appoint polling agents.
• not announce the names of national list mps of any party until gen sec issue is resolved in courts. 

he should retain his special powers till national list nominees are announced by name, and election is concluded.

෴

ps.

postponing election, by two weeks or so, will have another benefit. unhrc report on alleged war crimes in sri lanka will be released during next week or so. ranil and his puppet fixed election date on 17th (in the middle of exams) mainly to ensure it is over before the release of report, since content is likely to increase support for mahinda. this undemocratic attempt to keep sri lankan voters in ignorance would also be defeated through a postponement. 

backdoor ranil's puppet dictator sirisena tries to steal election

with the 'sacking' of general secretaries of slfp and upfa and prevention of their capacity to discharge their duties just 2 days before election(which upfa under mahinda was on course to win), we see the full anti democratic nature of so called "yaha palanaya" government.  this action basically prevents posting of polling agents from slfp and upfa during election day, and allows unp complete freedom to steal the election.

pederast ranil and his puppet were forced in to this unambiguously dictatorial action because they already knew that upfa was on course to get over 120 seats. if upfa fails to get that or gets lees than 113 it is mainly due to this tyrannical action.  

if, in spite of this, upfa gets more than 80 seats without its national list qouta(who will now be appointed by dictators nominees), that should be clear indication that they would have got over 120 without this attack on free and fair election.

after the election,  any attempt by ranil and his puppet to suppress the will of the people, and remain in power against their will should be resisted with all means available. dictators and their supporters should feel (both morally and physically) just consequences of this violent trampling on people. 

෴

resistance to ranil/john amaratunga thuggery should be the first shot

all who desire democracy, good governance, rule of law, and stable prosperity, to prevail in sri lanka, needs to support all forms of resistance to lawless, irresponsible, thuggery, that is being imposed on sri lanka, by filthy pederast ranil's backdoor government. 

of the many many acts they have perpetrated against "yaha palanaya", they hypocritically proclaimed, and their paid propagandists, online and off,  spread,  some of which i have commented on in this blog, i will mention a few thematic ones,

• gross violation of constitution in removing chief justice mohan peiris, accompanied with physical threats against him and family, made by ranil himself and his fellow thug asad sally.
• totally irresponsible and ignorant budget. which has resulted in a continuing stock market crash, and would have resulted in a rupee crash, if not for furious selling of dollar reserves built up by mahinda, and threats to currency brokers, by central bank. how long the rupee can be protected by such means is a question.
• the widespread daily acts of physical violence, and absurd slanders, against opposition and members of previous government. with threats to media & officials that cover the violence and question the slanders.  
• the irresponsible surrender of our foreign policy, and sri lankan interests, to india and west, purely because these supported private interests of the ranil gang in the regime change, and now say nice things about the new regime, while deliberately preferring to cover their eyes to its violent illegal undemocratic actions. in the process, they are alienating china, whose interests and ours coincide to a large degree, and unlike india and west, is willing to go beyond mere words, and pay for our support. 

due to all these, and more. sri lankans should start active resistance to the ranil's backdoor regime.

the incident of thuggery directly involving john amaratunga, minister of public peace, disaster management and christian religious affairs, is a good example of multiple failings of this new regime. as such it should be used as a good starting point for active resistance.

last friday(30th), he was present, and is on record encouraging his henchmen, to invade a sitting session of the wattala pradeshiya sabha (a local council controlled by upfa in his electorate), and then physically assault chairman thyagaratna alwis, and members with iron rods.  

no arrests were made in spite of video evidence. if puppet sirisena continues to be a toyboy in the hands of pedrast ranil, and fails to remove amaratunga from his cabinet post, that involves oversight of police, a no confidence motion should be presented in parliament, and a non stop protest campaign should be undertaken until he is removed.

we must keep in mind that backdoor government, though its trying to project an image of strength through media, is in fact weak, especially among public in south, and even votes maithree (not ranil) got in north, were merely votes against mahinda, rather than for anything positive. a resistance campaign, will have more than enough public support once it gets going, led by resolute leaders, whose aim is removal of backdoor regime.  

so the question is whether official opposition leadership, made up of people like nimal siripala de silva, has the brains and guts to mount such a campaign, or at least let others in opposition, people who have demonstrated courage in face of relentless attacks from backdoor gov, have a free hand to lead one. we will soon know. if they, nimal & co, fail, they should be replaced with people who do have what it takes to face down the backdoor government. and chase away ranil's thugs to face retribution, unprotected by laws they have intentionally desecrated.

yaha palanaya! a backdoor government established in uva

newly established "good governance" government, keeps on redefining those terms.

unp's harin fernando, who barely got 40% of vote in recent uva provincial elections, showing utter contempt for people's wishes, has weaseled his way into chief minister's office through backroom maneuvering, ousting upfa government of shamindra rajapakse, who go 51%+.

all this with active support and blessings of ranil's backdoor government in colombo.

btw, shamindra's vote share was same as maithree's, while harin got much less than mahinda's 48%-. same mahinda, slandered as a power mad dictator, who in fact bowed to people's wishes and left office, while harin who was one of those slanderers, now shows his true nature.

• with people being illegally arrested and threatened with prosecution for exercising freedom of expression, and reporting truthful facts, contrary to official spin, 
• with rule of law undermined, by thugs threatening chief justice to resign,
• with known sleazebags like ravi karunanayake and  mangala samaraweera (not to mention thug rishard bathiudeen and others) holding powerful positions in cabinet, 
• etc, etc,,    

who is behaving democratically here? 
 

who conducted free and fair elections? who respected people's wishes? who respected freedom of expression? who respected due process?

everyone can see, what is what (except unthinking, ignorant, idiotic, propagandists of ranil, online or off) as each day passes.

"tight election" and other myths and rumors

it seems maithree supporters are reduced to floating rumors in social media, and to repeating words "tight election" in every other tweet and blog post they make, as if such repetition will make it "tight".  it is also a symptom of their state of denial as their fantasy breaks.  lol

in fact election is peaceful and there is a high voter turnout. so they know they have to find excuses for maithree's defeat by a significant margin.

that explains the silly rumors about grenades, variety of unattributed allegations from unnamed monitors, people fleeing country, etc. etc.

3 basic questions to answer before voting

whoever we vote for today, mahinda or maithree, answering these 3 questions will help clarify our thoughts, thus giving meaning to mark we make.

1/ with terrorists defeated, economy growing, and prevailing democracy even enabling us to kick mahinda out, should we kick him out and why? give reasons.

2/ if mahinda and his administration have faults (nepotism? corruption? ... ) would they really be cured by maithree and his backers? are they without those same faults?  

3/ can maithree, dependent on failed politicians from unp and slfp, and fringe parties and racists of all kinds, be a resolute leader, able to keep as prospering and safe, especially with institution of executive presidency abolished?

if we are responsible sri lankan citizens we must be able to answer these 3 before voting.

here are my anwsers.

1/ we mustn't kick mahinda out because he has been a successful president.

2/ maithree backers are perhaps worse.

3/ maithree will be a weak president and a disaster.

you are free to answer differently. but do answer them. and if you do disagree with me, let me know in comments section, with reasons for all 3 questions. .

btw i have given reasons elsewhere why we should vote for mahinda in more detail.

i have also made a prediction, based on facts and rational calculations, that mahinda will win with a significant margin. track record of previous such predictions here, such as 2010 one, are excellent.

reasons why mahinda should win

yesterday i wrote a post predicting that based on facts and rational calculations, mahinda will win by a significant margin. a prediction i am sure will be fulfilled,as my past ones here have been. this post in contrast is an opinion piece giving my reasons as to why, we, sri lankans, should elect mahinda instead of maithree, those 2 being the only credible choices available.  

i will follow a post i wrote during 2010 election.

i started then by saying,

"the main failing of a representative democracy like sri lanka is that voter cannot decide on each policy individually, one by one. we have to decide between individuals who make promises to act according to a package of policies."

(while the outcome of this election, will certainly be the same as last time, a victory for mahinda rajapaksa, as i said last time, "certainty of outcome should not be a sufficient reason to favor it").

question, then and now, is how to evaluate the package of polices and the trustworthiness of the individual to carry it out.

evaluating polices 

like last time, the packages offered are not ideologically consistent. only the leftist fringe candidates are offering anything like coherent policy packages. not even a fringe candidate is offering what can be termed libertarian policies that this blog adhere to. as such selection based on ideology is out of the question, unless you are a leftist who wants to post an ineffective protest vote.  

of policies offered by 2 main candidates, mahinda's is more coherent and pragmatic than one offered by maithripala sirisena.  

but let us examine each of the main policy issues.

economy 

mahinda is basically offering continuation of same polices that were in operation last 5 years. these policies involved,

• unprecedented infrastructure development,
• creating conditions for expansion of service economy, and service exports, along with continuation of export of goods.
• reduction of growth in import expenditure; through reduction of imports of oil for electricity generation, sugar, milk powder, etc.   
• creating conditions for unprecedented expansion of tourism.
• consistently lower inflation than in past. consistent reduction in budget deficit, and national debt as a percentage of gdp. increase in foreign reserves to stabilize the currency. 
• expansion of government service and apparent subsidies(though in fact. subsides as a whole have been reduced).

all these in combination has delivered around 7% real gdp growth on average. well in excess of world and regional average.  

except for the expansion of government service (and claims of increase in subsides), i have no great objections to any of this. and since sri lanka as a whole is far from being libertarian, most sri lankans would approve, rather than object to even that. though government's visible hand in reduction of certain imports, and its direct hand in infrastructure development, are violations of free market principles, these are in fact not free markets to begin with. in any case mahinda has never been a free market capitalist.

mahinda has delivered what he promised in past. and there is no reason to believe he will fail in future.

his success in economy is such that maithree has lost all coherence in his, and his handlers, attempts to advance an alternative economic policy. they have been more or less reduced to acknowledge mahinda's success with economy. instead of criticizing mahinda's policy, they are criticizing implementation methods and details. and doing so using blatant falsehoods.

sirisena supporters say country is burdened with debt. in fact national debt as a percentage of gdp has been in steady decline. in 2004 it was 105% of gdp. now it is about 70%. absolute nominal debt figure has gone up, but because economy is growing fast (both in real terms and nominal terms, second being the relevant one here) debt as a percentage of gdp comes down.    

they also say that some of the infrastructure projects are useless. however their main targets mathala airport and hambantota port are in fact operating successfully. their half hearted attempts to depict newly developed and improved roads as useless to common man, shows an unbelievable lack of connection with common people. they are silent or contradictory when pressed to declare whether they are going to stop these projects.

maithree also promises to increase on mahinda's promises on government subsidies and service. i think sri lankans can recognize fake empty promises.

maithree also resurrects a promise to increase government spending on education to 6% of gdp. this is the sort of ignorant impractical idiocy that confirm maithree camp has lost all hope of winning the election.  sri lankan government barely collects 10% of gdp in revenue and spends less than15% of gdp in total. as such without drastic tax increases, and/or massive cuts in every other sort of public spending from health, defense, agriculture, debt service, pensions, salaries of public servants, etc, this is impossible.

in sum, maithree has been content to hurl variety of criticisms (more than tinged with absurd falsifications of facts)  at mahinda's implementations, instead of offering a pragmatic coherent policy on economy. he himself has no track record on economy and politicians that surround and control him, both from unp and slfp, have track records of failure.

corruption & good governance 

an issue related to economy is corruption, which the maithree camp has tried to turn into a major issue. it isn't. of course economy has grown, so no doubt corruption has kept pace with growth. but present government is no more corrupt than previous ones, and any future ones. changing one set of governing politicians with another set (esp a set that were corrupt last time they were in power) wont change a thing. as i have maintained from start of this blog, only way to reduce corruption is to reduce the size of government, thus power of politicians and bureaucrats to control public funds and regulations. but maithree is not advocating that, as such his promise to fight corruption are false. 

nepotism is another charge against mahinda. he certainly has used and given power to his brothers. but whether that is bad or not, depends on their competence. a competent bother is preferable to an incompetent outsider. his brothers that matter, gotabaya and basil, are competent at their jobs, with solid achievements. in contrast, politicians in maithree camp, chandrika and ranil, among others, also rose through nepotism, and more importantly, were and are incompetent. maithree's own brothers are far from admirable. 

executive presidency

this is another non issue that opposition has tried to raise to a major issue. no sri lankan with any sense will want to do away with  executive presidency. it was that institution that allowed the steady leadership needed to defeat tamil terrorist pussies. similar stability is needed between elections to create a stable environment for development. under this constitution, if electorate wants, it can provide a needed check to presidency through parliament. as happened in early last decade. 

given the political make up of country with lot of small parties, and proportional electoral system, doing away with executive presidency will create an unstable wavering extremely weak governments dependent on whims of those fringe parties. 

fact that maithree, dependent on those fringe parties, promises this, is a solid reason for defeating him.

national security

sri lankans who wish to live in a free democratic country must keep their eyes open for any revival of tamil racist terrorism. while they are defeated in sri lanka , they are visibly active (and in some cases openly pandered to) in west. and their racist ideology and goals are is still the ideology and goals of racist party, tna, their one time faithful political arm. 

until tna unconditionally condemns ltte and its big pussy mass murderer prabhakaran, and participate in democratic processes, like the parliamentary select committee, to find solutions to grievances of all communities in north and east provinces, they should be treated with suspicion. that is why their extension of support to maithree should make voters for maithree hesitate a lot before marking their vote. 

maithree supporters counter this by saying many former tamil terrorists, like karuna, are supporting mahinda. difference is that these individuals contributed to condemnation and defeat of tigers, while tna and ilks, did not. nor is mahinda dependent on them, while maithree is lost without tna support. 

a weak president or prime minister, dependent on fringe parties, including racist parties like tna and slmc, is bad for national security and stability and must not be elected. 

those are the main policy issues, and with regard to all of them, mahinda is the better choice.

judging individual trustworthiness 

we also have to judge whether these candidates can be trusted enough to carry out their duties and promises.

last time i said, based on his track record, "we can generally expect rajapaksa to govern from a pragmatic center left position." he has done exactly that. he has displayed strong stable leadership needed to develop sri lanka and keep it strong. in fact there is no need to change him even if alternative was a similar individual.

maithree on the other hand, is a colorless mediocre cipher. he has no notable achievements. he is harmless enough as a bureaucrat and lower functionary. but not a person from whom resolute leadership can be expected. his political position as a dependent of others in past and now, makes it worse. he wont be able to stand up to corrupt opportunists, racists, foreign interferers, or terrorists.   

conclusion 

by all criteria for evaluating candidates, mahinda is far superior to other possible alternative, sirisena. so let us contribute to inevitable mahinda victory by voting for him.

will tamil nationalists and their western backers face facts?

yesterday's elections for northern provincial council resulted in the expected victory for ilankai tamil arasu kadchi(itak) also called tamil national alliance(tna). it is a mixed group of tamil nationalist politicians  from moderates to despicable extremely violent racists including those who were allied to now defeated tiger terrorists.

question that matter is not the results, but what happens now.

will the tamil nationalists have the courage and pragmatism to face facts below(as almost all other sri lankans have already done);

that so called 'oppressors' and 'prosecutors' of tamils(that is sri lankans in general as represented by government) were not bent of oppression. but were perfectly willing to and did hold a truly free and fair election. 

that such an election was only possible after the military defeat of tamil tigers(ltte).

that in contrast, tigers, when they had power, insisted on being the sole representative of tamils, and killed and oppressed and prosecuted fellow tamils who even hinted at independent opinion(not to mention other sri lankans). 

that defeat of tigers and holding of free elections was a great and praiseworthy leap for human rights and reconciliation in sri lanka.  

that way forward in any direction requires, not confrontation and slander, but pragmatic engagement with sri lanka's democratic government.

will tamil nationalists face these facts and acknowledge them? 

will they have the courage to push aside the extreme racists who prefer to remain blind to them (and prefer violence)?

will western hypocrites preaching to sri lanka about human rights and reconciliation face these facts, and acknowledge and support sri lanka's solid progress instead of prejudging us based on  unsubstantiated allegations spread by racists(both tamil and western)?

we, sri lankans, have acted to secure democracy and human rights by defeating tigers and holding free elections. as always we will continue to do everything to foster democracy and human rights without prompting.

it up to all, including tamil nationalists, to join this effort in peace, and renounce violence and slanders. 

it is in the interest of west and other foreign governments, to help us continue in the same road,  renouncing hypocritical preaching and counter productive attempts at coercion.

whatever happens we will remain a democratic free society. and anyone who tries to undermine it with violence and coercion should be and would be defeated, as tiger scum were.

෴

ps.

in elections held in north western and central provinces governing upfa is winning handsomely, as expected, even without some of its coalition partners. those coalition parties also got seats and will rejoin in administration if upfa will let them. unp is in a pathetic state as usual. jvp is finished.

same ppl welcomed the end of egypt's dictator mubarak. not surprising how they are silent on the fact that democracy is nowhere in sight in egypt, now ruled by a shacky and intolerant military junta subservient to west just like mubarak. (since this is a sri lankan blog i refer esp to born/paid slaveboy sri lankan blogs like indi.ca, groundviews, etc. always ready to parrot western narrative/pov without a shred of independent thought). i have already written about the possible outcomes in egypt. i am still of same opinions. 

slaveboys are also silent on west's hypocritical silence and non action in bahrain where the tyrant massacred and imprisoned peaceful (in contrast to libya's armed and violent) protesters. i suspect the fact that tyrant in bahrain allows free oil looting to west, and permanently hosts american fifth fleet has lot to do with it.

but to return to libya.

west (and others, even sri lanka) courted bloody dictator gaddafi up to last year. but it is mainly west (esp. uk and france) that succeeded in getting deals from him. remember all those western engineers etc., peacefully allowed to evacuate when fighting started. in 2009, britain went so far as to release the libyan terrorist who bombed an airliner over lockerbie killing hundreds in a 'blood for oil' deal. (btw i and many others opposed it at the time. slaveboys were silent.) several wikileaks documents have confirmed what we said. wikileaks and normal news confirmed that british ministers, (including prime ministers and royals), american senators, etc, were regular visitors of crazy dictator gaddafi, gaddafi was invited to g8 summit as an observer and praised, english education institutions gave degrees to gaddafi's son, et., etc. 

i said what i think of west's possible intervention in libya even before they started. as always i have no reason to change my mind. 

west's intervention in libya is a classic case of west exploiting quarrels among natives to make looting of assets easier. ruling scum of genocidal british empire would be proud that their modes of operations are still followed by their progeny. only i doubt whether they will succeed. look what happened after the "successful" invasion and installation of puppets in afghanistan. i think employees of western companies in libya will find looting hard if they are also targets. rightly so!

in any case, all of us would be right in not being overjoyed and not welcoming this news.

criminal pols and their hypocritical online hacks

i am loling @ the self righteous pontifications of a certain blogger about duminda silva, gun fights, and criminal politicians, etc..

i mean how did this person, his suckerboys, and family members, forget that they worked, works, and will work for, same sort of criminal pols. just two weeks ago same blogger ran an extremely dirty politician's facebook page.

did you guess who i am referring to? good! lol.

(btw support of this blogger is a sure sign of defeat for pols he supports. check history).

where i stand

as i have said before here, only way to cure the political system of corruption (and attendant criminality) here or anywhere in the world (most of world is no better than here, west just conceal it it better), is to reduce the power of politicians/state over other ppls' assets/freedoms; be it by cutting government spending/welfare, removing regulations and pols' control over regulations, etc., etc., 

i will support such a libertarian program. in the absence of one from any electable politician, my support or opposition, for pols or parties, will depend on other considerations; ref my voting guide for last presidential election.

i will continue to laugh at ppl who pontificate on criminality and corruption of some criminal politicians while working for others. lol.

evidence of racist pro terrorist bias in the associated press(ap) 'reporter' bharatha mallwarachchi's latest hack job

in sri lanka's there are certain paid western and/or pro tamil tiger terrorist tools. esp so in ngo and so called journalistic community writing in english. some of them are so deeply committed to their racist and slavish agenda, that they go so far are as to deliberately forget standard professional practices and ethics in order to parrot and exaggerate unsubstantiated terrorist propaganda, and try their best to slander sri lanka, sri lankans and its institutions (ranging from government to buddhism).

bharatha mallwarachchi currently working for associated press is one such. in this post i will examine his latest hack job for its racist pro terrorist bias.

following image is a screen-shot of the ap report authored by this tool (click to enlarge). it was published within last 24 hours.

first there is the title "sri lanka evicts some war refugees from villages".
really ?
note that title is not enclosed in quotation marks.

this 'eviction' turns out to be a mere allegation by tamil national alliance (tna aka itak), in particular tna mp suresh premachandran. so far reporter has not produced any other evidence to back this beyond tna statement. he has not verified this from independent sources.

maybe tna and mr premachandran are independent sources? only a totally sloppy reporter who has not done his homework, or a deliberately biased one, would think that. tna was tamil tiger terrorists' proxy political party when they were still undefeated. they obtained 90%+ of votes in areas under the murderous terrorists then, while other political parties were completely suppressed. party has not regretted this association and still indulges in most racist rhetoric possible. all of this and more about tna is easily verifiable.

but for bharatha mallwarachchi all that does not matter. to him, if tna said something, that is no longer a mere statement but a fact.

btw i am not saying he should not report on tna statement; he should do it like professionals do reporting it as a mere statement by tna (providing tna's background).

contrast his treatment of tna statement with his treatment of governments' (old) statements about refugees. "The government said ...", "government says... ", "Officials say ..."etc., ; in every (note every) sentence referring to them the fact that government's statements were not verified were emphasized. that is right, if reporter cannot verify them. but he fails to make similar qualifications to that degree with tna statements in the report and title.

now why doesn't mallwarachchi verify any of these statements before writing?

for instance camps housing 'refugees' are funded and run to a great degree by united nation's agencies. why was this reporter unable to find the truth(or not) of government statistics from those u.n. agencies? it should be easy for a real reporter looking for truth.

then why doesn't he? pro terrorist propagandists were implying from the 1st moment of their existence that the camps were there for a sinister purpose (concentration camps perhaps?). reporting the easily verifiable fact that u.n. is funding and helping to run the camps certainly destroys any such conspiracy theory. now guess the reasons of mallwarachchi's studied total silence on easily verifiable u.n. presence!

that is not all .

he does not seems to have asked for a government response to tna statement as any professional reporter would have done before writing.

instead he quotes "the party sought government clarification, but there has been no response". but that is again a mere tna statement about alleged government non response to tna statement. a real reporter would have tried to contact government directly and have reported the results directly instead of relying solely on tna's word .

he also resorts to distortion and unwarranted speculation. he selectively quotes from remarks 'government spokesman' (actually cabinet spokesman, and minister) keheliya rambukwella made before these allegations from tna, during a press conference last week, as if his statements about landmines were a reply to them when they may not be. is mallwarachchi preemptively speculating and creating government response before government has even said a word? that is not his job! but such a hack probably does not know the meaning of professional ethics.

there is still more,
it seems mallwarachchi's politically correct wording is not correct at all and totally one sided.
"The Tamil rebels fought for a separate state, claiming decades of discrimination by the Sinhalese majority."

they certainly claimed to be acting for tamils but were they? this is an important distinction.
tigers are not equal to tamils (only racists equalize them). making the tiger murderers representative of tamils as they claimed to be (and enforced by killing and terrorizing all other tamil leaders) is a mark of a racist pro terrorist.

mallwarachchi takes their claims as as pure truth.
unbiased person would have said "tamil tigers claimed to be ..."

and were they "fighting' (implying fighting against military only)? a real reporter would have referred to their actual methods (deliberate targeting of civilians even children and places of religious worship etc, use of suicide bombers etc ) and consequences (their inclusion in lists of terrorist organizations including those in usa, eu, etc) even if he does not prefer to not use the word 'terrorist' directly to them. all these are well documented.

unbiased person would have said "tamil tigers (listed as a terrorist organization by several countries due to their actions) claimed to be fighting for a separate state on behalf of tamils, alleging decades of discrimination ....etc ".

but for mallwarachchi they are 'tamil rebels' merely 'fighting'.

"rights groups have accused the government and rebel forces of deliberately targeting civilians."
again his desire to follow the pro terrorist propagandist agenda of creating moral equality between government and ltte is clear. yes rights groups have accused the government of targeting civilians, but so far without any proof whatsoever. in contrast what mallwarachchi calls 'rebel forces' have admitted, documented, and convicted, of hundreds of deliberate bombings of civilian buses, trains, airports, banks , places of religious worship etc etc killing thousands. now can he explain why he stops at mere 'accusation' when verifiable facts are available to all?

are his colleagues at ap going to say al-qaeda is merely accused of 9/11? really?

"according to U.N documents, more than 7,000 civilians died in the last five months of the conflict "
as pointed out above mallwarachchi seems to be totally unaware of u.n. agencies working in refugees camps but has no problem finding non existent positive statements from u.n. that 7000 civilians died. in fact there are no such documents with such concrete statements from u.n., only allegations (clearly so indicated) at third hand. a professional (if he/she wants this at all in his report ) would have said." according to u.n. documents, more than 7,000 civilians may have died in the last five months of the conflict though the figure was never verified by u.n. "


does anybody still think bharatha mallwarachchi is a professional reporter? isn't he rather a willing tool of racist pro terrorists? if you think he is not such a tool let me know why below.

it is a pity and a shame that once respected news organizations like the associated press are employing ppl such as this racist with his pro terrorist agenda .

will they employ a committed 9/11 "truther" conspiracy theorist as a reporter? they won't. but we in sri lanka are poor and powerless in world, so maybe ap thinks we would suffer the slanders of this hack without protest.

we wont stay silent. this protest and exposure may not have any effect just now, but as i have said before these things count in the long run. truth and sunlight always triumphs. we should continue to document these despicable biased reporters and expose them to the world and future in detail. we should choose aggressive confrontation over silent suffering in the face of dirt bags like bharatha mallwarachchi.

few quick thoughts on election results

i have been updating my election result post (where everything one needs to know is presented in one page) as results come in. remaining results will be updated as they become available. hopefully thousands of visitors there, both yesterday and today so far, did find it useful.

as of now according to reasonable speculation (find the full calculation here) upfa is going to get 143+ seats.

results are in line with what i expected before the polls.

ppl have spoken, in a turnout that is high relative to any other democracy (unsupported claims of low turnout comes from losers and/or ppl with pro terrorist agendas). it is now up to all those who respect democracy to accept it and work accordingly.

results are yet another indication that sri lankans are embracing and endorsing the new independent, proud, confident, sri lankan identity and mindset which started to assert itself felt few years ago, with enthusiasm.

they are definitely rejecting, appeasement driven peacenik, dependent on west , subservient attitudes of born slaves here.

unp
as i said several times before, if unp (which did not win even one district) wants to be credible, it has to embrace the new sri lakan reality and attitudes instead of attitudes of a few ppl in colombo. it must publicly dump both policies and ppl who advocated appeasement of terrorists (note both). with a new leadership, it must show that it is sincerely appreciative of glorious victory over terrorists which ensured human rights, freedom, democracy and justice (not to mention physical safety) for all sri lankans. it can differentiate itself from, vaguely left of center upfa, through economic policies, if unp start advocating free markets and private enterprise.

meanwhile the results of the outraged 'aesthetic' senses of that fringe of sri lankan society, the narrow minded slavish english thinking pseudo elite of colombo (which however provide a large number, and until recently constituted a majority,of sl bloggers) will be entertaining to read and watch. sanjana hattotuwa's groundviews for example, has already started vomiting. lol.

un secretary general ban ki-moon's latest attempted interference in sri lanka

united nations secretory general ban ki moon is engaged in an effort to interfere in sri lanka, again.

why?
bc he thinks there should be 'accountability' for alleged human rights violations and 'war crimes', wants 'reconciliation'. etc

problem with his stated motives is that he seems to be hypocritically and willfully blind to the fact that he is violating law, un principles, and human rights, by his actions. nor is this the first time.

you cannot ask for lawful accountability from sri lanka when you are exceeding your legal mandate.

un secretary general is trying to appoint an arbitrary 'expert panel' to advise him on action to be taken about sri lanka. by exceeding the powers and violating the charter of united nations, which does not allow him to interfere in internal affairs of member nations, he is violating our, sri lankans, political and legal rights as members of a sovereign democracy.

if there were human rights violations and war crimes there are legal channels to seek justice and present evidence.

sri lankan courts, including the supreme court, are accessible. if the courts here are refusing to hear cases with credible evidence or dismissing cases out of hand arbitrarily, there may be a point, but no such thing has happened. fact is ppl who claim human rights violations, etc occurred here are unable to make and present a credible case with judicially acceptable evidence. that is no excuse to treat sri lankan legal system with contempt or bypass it.

there is also the united nations human rights council, if there are any concerns about human rights situation in sri lanka, they should be raised through that body and not through some arbitrary panel convened at the personal whim of ban ki moon. but he knows that an attempt to pass a resolution against sl in unhrc failed, with good reason.

in other words, un sec.gen. is refusing to accept judgments of legal bodies and trying to impose his personal judgment arbitrarily.

that is a violation of law and our rights. all those sri lankans who want our rights respected should condemn his actions.

there is also the question of double standards, why is ban ki moon not acting similarly with regard to alleged human rights violations in iraq and afghanistan committed by united states, united kingdom and other western powers? so far this question continues to stay unanswered. anyone who support ban ki moon's actions on sri lanka or refuse to condemn them must answer it. otherwise they are simply racist hypocrites and slaves of west.

as for ban ki moon and some of his subordinates, their past actions have shown that they are no friends of sri lankans and not interested in securing rights, justice, democracy, and freedom ( indeed even our lives) to us. remember he wanted to us to declare a ceasefire in order to save our murderers; ltte terrorist pussies. as i said then, anyone who did that is no friend of sri lanka. nor does anyone, who called for such a ceasefire on that moment, have any moral right to pass any kind of judgment on any action of ours.

he and his subordinates are acting thus because they are suffering from racist misconception that ltte terrorists and their supporters are representatives of tamils and that 'ethnic grievances' caused ltte terrorism (by that perverted logic un should act to ban prison terms for thieves bc they probably think theft is a result of poverty etc. lol). this became very clear when he asked us not to celebrate the defeat of armed criminal gang ltte.

anyway, all those who want law and our rights respected should condemn ban ki moon and his actions with regard to sri lanka.

especially, all those sri lankans who vociferously claim to be interested in preserving human rights and rule of law in sri lanka, must do so. if they don't they should defend why they don't. silence in the face of such a violation of our rights is not an option.

i will predict that ppl who support ban ki moon or stay silent will be the same ppl who openly adapted immoral peacenik position (and their fellow travelers) during effort to defeat terrorists. their mindset is inherently slavish and corrupt and/or they depend on their western financed ngo salaries and benefits too much. they did not act according on their professed principles then and will not do so now.

i will be watching reactions of their underlings in sri lankan blogosphere. will they too stay true to their inherited despicable and hypocritical characters and stay silent while rights of sri lankans are violated? will their slavishness extend to supporting such violations?
