Prabakaran celebrates the end of CFA in a bloodbath

the whole world knows how the blood thirsty LTTE led by V.Prabakaran celebrated the end of the ceasefire agreement yesterday.Prabakaran ended the ceasefire officially not in North or Eastern province of Sri Lanka but on a remote road leading to Buttala from Kataragama in the Uva  province and a chena in a remote area of Monaragala.
 
we all saw the dead bodies,stacked on each other  of the people who died in the Prabakarans attack on a bus in Okkampitiya , yesterday.  dead included many small children.those innocent and poor people were not shareholders of the war,separate state nor within the spear of power and influence. at the same time these innocent people had no connection to the President , Defence Sec or the Army commander or any other important person within the Sri Lankan State.
 
for these people , wither the CFA was alive or not was not a issue, it was the same for them. the piece of paper which is called the CFA agreement (which by the way the original signed doc has gone missing, according to the Govt..maybe at 5th Lane residence of Ranil,where he might be reading it every morning before he starts his work!) is not a thing for them,for the only war they know that existed in this country was the war to stay alive.
 
its was the same war that the people who died on the Kebithigollawa bus had to face and it was the same war that the farmers who took water from the Maavil Aru anicut for cultivation had to fight.it is the same war that the Tamil community who live beyond the check point in Omanthai , under the hands of Prabakaran who fight on a daily basis.
 
since the dawn of civilisation the worst scourge faced by the humans was violence and terrorism is the pinnacle of that scourge.during the rain of Hitler , terrorism was called 'facisim' and the height of fascism is the terrorism of the modern days.
 
if someone takes revenge on fellow humans for the single intention of capturing or seizing power , then that person is a monster and Prabakaran is a monster beyond imagination.he is in fact far beyond Hitler when it comes to the amount of cruelty he had imposed on the human race.
 
with the advent of the ceasefire in 2002 , prabakaran had the chance of entering a fair process of Political engagement, yet for him it was a sojourn to re arm and re group his bad of murderers. had Prabakaran had a genuine interest in Peace and a peaceful settlement to the ethnic issue, then he could have used the opening when Mahinda assumed the Presidency, however instead Prabakaran decided to increase the scale of LTTEs ceasefire breeches in ten fold and enter a era of mass scale assassinations and bombings. after waiting patiently for few months the Government started to fight back, throwing Prabakaran to a rapid pace of withdrawals and defeats.
 
today Prabakaran bombs and kills people in desperation ,knowing that he will face the same fate as that was met by his close confidants such as Shankar,Tamilchelvam, and Charles and understands very well that his days are numbered.
 
although Prabakaran is living in air conditioned very deep hole somewhere in Killinochchi or Mullativu , he will be met by a bunker buster bomb pretty soon and when that happens President Mahindas promise of handing over Prabakara to India will be fulfilled though it will be in form of a box.
 
i hope that happens soon , so that the poor innocent people of this country can still cram into a bus early morning and go to places of their work and to know that their children got to school on time, and not to fear the deaths awaiting them by the road and all the Tamils who live overseas who blindly fund a bloody war in Sri Lanka can use that money for something more benevolent and also the so called international community to focus more on talking peace with Taliban or the Iraqi insurgents and entering to ceasefire with them with the facilitation of the Norwegians .

annulling the ceasefire and the crocodile tears of the bogus 'civil society'

ceasefire ceased to exist for me the day LTTE killed Lakshman Kadiragamar MP and minister of Foreign Affairs.minister Kadiragamar,a Tamil and believer in democracy and non violance was killed by the LTTE not because he was a crusader to liberate the Tamils from the LTTE but because LTTE leader V.Prabakaran and his cohorts realised Kadiragamar  was a moderate Tamil leader who could not only reach out to the rest of the Sri Lankans , whole world how had a pinch of interest in happenings in Sri Lanka and the Tamils in the rest of the world.
 
when Kadiragamar was killed, the bogus 'civil society' only made vague statements and called for all 'parties' to adhere to the ceasefire. whats the f... , all parties to the CFA was adhering to the ceasefire minus the LTTE at that time , but for some unknown reasons they never mentioned the LTTEs hand in killing Kadiragamar nor Kethesh Loganadhan , another Tamil moderate killed by the LTTE during .. of course the ceasefire.
 
so called civil society of Sri Lanka , who constantly we hear on mainly English language print and electronic media , who 'represent' rest of the civilians in Sri Lanka , in overseas mainly in Western countries are a bunch of wankers , spineless crowds who pay lip service to the LTTE. for them 'loss' of Tamilchelvam was for more serious then scores of civilians getting killed by road side bombs or Tamil politicians from opposition political parties in the hands of the LTTE.
 
day has come for Dr.Jehan Perera,Dr.Kumar Rupasingha,Prof.Jayadeva Uyangoda, Sunila Abesekara , Nimalka Fernando and rest of the so called 'civil society' band wagon  to understand who the real enemies of peace in Sri Lanka is and why they should stand against not only the ills of the Sri Lankan government ,as they do all the time but also the scourge of the LTTE too.

Pirabakarans state of the Terror adress

prabakaran will in few hours time deliver the ,LTTEs version of 'state of the Union adress' called the State of the Terror address. what is accepted as the LTTEs annual terror policy speech where Prabakaran will spell out the steps and direction the LTTE will take in attaining their terrorist aspirations.normally this speech has attracted a notable amount of interest from all quarters of interested parties in Sri Lanka and rest of the world and most notably the Tamils who sustain Prabakarans reign of terror from oversease will look in to 'new' rays of hope and vision to expand the war  while , Tamils living under oppression of the LTTE will see this a another sounding of their death knell.
 
Tamilnet reported the SLAF attacking the LTTEs voice of tigers radio station in Vanni just few hours ago and i guess this time it will not be a live broadcast like last times and most probably this time it will be more of a pre recorded message , aired from a overseas location and not from the deep hope where Prabakaran is holed up, somewhere in the deep jungles of Vanni.
 
whats ironic is Prabakaran is more close to the burning Magma crust of the earth than the suffering Tamils of Vanni on the ground, and i guess in a way Prabakaran must be feeling the heat from the hell , being still alive.
 
for the rest of the people of Sri Lanka , this event is on not so much significance let alone the hustle they face on such a day as successive governments tend to take the particular day as a high threat day , thus increasing levels of security.
 
although till recently governments paid some attention to the content of the speech , but since last few years that had changed as more and more the LTTEs real interests keep coming into light.
 
considering the message delivered in the last couple of years, any one can come to the conclusion that this much envisaged speech of Prabakaran is nothing but simply giving on the stand that theirs is No Hope for Peace- War is the only option kind of rhetoric and only last year Prabakaran declared they had 'exhusted' all options for peace and are giving last chance to the Sri Lankan government to come up with a 'solution' .
 
but what solution they want? after four or more Peace efforts from successive governments and the last Peace Accord where a CFA and a number of rounds of peace talks under Ranil Wicramasingha and Mahinda Rajapaksha governments , LTTE opted to walk away from talks when they realised the Governments efforts were serious and the International Community was hell bent on supporting any solution that would have come out of talks.
 
so back to the question of the what solution, well as i see it there can be no solution to this problem in the eyes of the LTTE as for them the only solution is the continuation of war and noting else.
 
so today in few hours only thing Prabakran can say is that they are ' fed up with the MR government and they see no reason to continue with search for Peace'  and may take the opportunity to pull out from the CFA , thus ending the presence of SLMM and the Norwegian Peace meddling ( ooops , sorry Mediation).
 
few other options Prabakaran can take up is -
 
1.declare a Unilateral declaration of Independence ( we've gone through a UDI before.. and know what happened to Mr.Perumal afterwards..)
 
2.call international community to accept LTTEs right to self determination ( dah...!!!! )
 
3. declare all out war on the Sri Lankan state ,claiming that the state is waging a full scale war against them ( they have seen noting yet..)
 
either way , I'm not surprised, and will not be. one thing that I'm certain is that , Prabakaran will never never opt for a another chance of peace talks.
 
all Prabakaran wants is war , destruction and death. that's the only way of life he knows and he is comfortable of . so today in few hours time , from a very deep hole somewhere in Vanni ,he will go on air (if he can get to do that ) or may be its already recorded and ready to go off, from a overseas location to spell out whats next in store for Sri Lanka and Tamils of the world over.
 
either way, all he can say is 'Sinhala government is hell bent on waging war' ' our peace efforts are being ignord' 'Tamils have no future under the current Government' etc.
 
Prabakaran might go forward and declare independence unilaterally or may be call the International Community to accept the LTTEs right to self determination, but all this he will do to ensure one thing..
 
WAR and CONTINUATION OF WAR .

26 November - day of Patriots and Monsters

26th November is in many ways monumental to Sri Lanka. it was the day in 1818 the British crushed Sri Lankas first war of independence ( although somehow we were being taught to call it a 'Rebellion' by the same masters who re-wrote the history of Sri Lanka) , when they executed Monarawila Keppetipola , Dissawe of Uva. it was Keppetipola Dissawa who led the first war of independence against the British ,following the transfer of sovereignty to the British after the capture and the end of King Rajasingha II and the Kandyan dynasty.

where as the first monumental event was of a historical and national significance , the second monumental event is the birth of V.Prabakaran in the Jaffna Hospital. V.Prabakaran rose up to be the leader of LTTE, the Tamil terrorist organisation who for the last 30 or so years had been waging a war and reign of terror to curve out a separate state for minority Tamils in North and East of Sri Lanka.Prabakaran is nothing but a monster in human form , wielding a reign of terror , death and destruction not only in North and East of Sri Lanka , but also in every corner of the Island, beyond the seas in India and and many other un named , unknown places and at high seas.

not only Prabakaran had killed many hundred thousands of Sinhaleese and Muslims of Sri Lanka but he has a wiped out several generations of Tamils , including Tamil academics, religious and community leaders , elected representatives and politicians.The LTTE, under the leadership of Prabakaran has done more damages to the cause of the Sri Lankan Tamils than any other .

The LTTE has sabotaged every attempt to a reasonable political solution to the ethnic problem of Sri Lanka. The sole aim of the LTTE is the establishment of a one-party fascist regime by the name 'Tamil Eelam' in the North-East of Sri Lanka.

hence , November 26 th is a monumental for Sri Lanka.

on one side there is Keppetipola Dissawa , a man who fought for the freedom of his people, who was killed in the hands of a colonial oppressor and then there is Prabakan who continues to kill people in the name of establishing a separate state for the Tamils of Sri Lanka.Prabakaran has hijacked the Tamil cause with his gun totting terror tactics.he leads an organization with a fascist tendency. Its only aim is to establish a fascist regime in the North and East of Sri Lanka.

Due to its fascist leaning, it has made a self-proclamation as the sole representative of the Tamils. To maintain the status-quo of the sole representation, it has eliminated all the democratic Tamil leaders or subjugated their parties through their terror tactics.

To name a few Tamil leaders, brutally murdered by the LTTE are, A. Amirthalingam MP and Tamil National Leader, V.Yogeswaran MP, A.Thangathurai MP , Mrs. Sarojini Yogeswaran Mayor Jaffna , Dr.Neelan Tiruchelvam MP and S. Sivapalan of Tamil United Liberation Front the TULF Mayor Jaffna , Kumar Ponnambalam of the All Ceylon Tamil Congress the ACTC, Sri Sabaratnam Leader of the TELO, K. Padmanabha Leader of EPRLF, Sam Tambimuttu MP and his wife Kala Tambimuttu of the EPRLF and recently Luaxman Kadiragama, MP and former Foreign Minister of Sri Lanka.

The leaders who succeeded them were cowed down and compelled to be subservient to LTTE. it was Douglas Devananda MP , a Tamil from Norhtern Sri Lanka who once led a Tamil Separatist group against the Government of Sri Lanka, who denounced violence and joined the mainstream democratic politics ,who as a Minister of the current government went on record recently and said " in the four decades of confrontation, not a single Tamil leader has been murdered by the Sri Lankan security forces" .

There are only a handful of democratic Tamil leaders who have still escaped the LTTE death trap, him being one amongst them and one who had escaped at least four attempts on his life.

Prabakaran's reign of terror extended its tentacles to our neighbouring Indian soil and globally as well. In the Indian soil, they killed former Prime Minister of India Rajiv Gandhi and Sri Lankan Tamil leaders. They murdered those who opposed them in the European countries. For example, T. Sabalingam, one of the founder member of the Tamil militant movement in Sri Lanka, was murdered in France.

LTTE extort money from the expatriate Tamils by threatening that their kith and kin, living in Sri Lanka will have to face the consequences, if they do not meet their demand.They also assassinated President Premadasa and attempted on the life of President Chandrika Bandaranaike Kumaratunga, who as a result, lost her sight in one eye.

Prabakaran thrives on the Tamil cause and has stood in the way of negotiated settlement within the frame work of united Sri Lanka, fearing, such arrangement would not give room for his fascist rule of law. LTTE aspire for a separate piece of land 'Tamil Eelam' to impose their fascist rule. As a result, the Tamils' aspiration for a power sharing arrangement in the areas of their habitation, remain unfulfilled to date. This is a vicious circle which the LTTE cleverly manipulates and thrives upon.

Further, the LTTE survives on the frustration of the Tamil people caused by the after effects of the war they initiate. In an environment of war, people undergo a lot of hardships such as; large scale displacements, non-availability of essential goods and services, black marketing, non-availability of proper educational, health and infrastructure facilities.

The LTTE capitalizes on this situation to win over the support of the Tamil people locally as well as internationally, This is also another vicious circle, the LTTE rides on.

so different to what Keppetipola Dissawa had envisaged , and ultimately brought to an end of his life.Keppetipola not only took personal responsibility for the acts of war and violence that we committed in the name of free Sri Lanka but also yielded to British use of terror tactics against the civilian populace of the Uva province in particular during the ensuring battles against forces of Keppetipola in 1818.

Keppetipola never used the collective suffering of his people to further his war , nor quelled dissension within his ranks.

his war was to attain freedom and restore rights and liberties of the common man of Sri Lanka and not curving out a separate state. it is sad that remembering Keppitipola Dissawa today , for somehow rests with the JVP and not the common man , while the so called 'Civil Society' of Sri Lanka and some pseudo 'free' media elements gather around to silently ( not so long a ago , very openly ) celebrate the birthday of Prabakaran , a monster of our times.

rest assured , come 26th November, next year I'm not going a write a word about V.Prabakaran nor about his LTTE , and way the things are going its also not sure if Prabakaran might make to the next years birthday , but will concentrate more on the first war of Independence and remember Keppetipola Dissawa and the rest of the patriots who had given life for a noble cause and not a cause that surpasses any myth.

Sri Lanka's hour of shame

its been few days since Pakistan got chucked out of Commonwealth and our countries pussy footed approach to the whole saga.looking back i see so many rhetoric against the move and even UNP has gone out hard on the decision and also heavily criticised the Foreign Minister ( who is a MP of their party , by the way ..) and the government in general. President it seems made some noise at the Commonwealth Heads of Government meeting against the Pakistan being suspended from the Commonwealth.
 
there is now more and more statements and comments coming from all quarters of the government, including the Foreign Secretary Kohona, Deputy FM Husain Bhaila , FM himself , Prime Minister Wicramanayake and the President himself, but as i see it damage has been done.
 
when Pakistan needed us most as friend not only to voice against the sinister moves against Pakistan but also to stand up for a friend who has over and over and over the times had stood for us, Sri Lanka irrespective of who was on power in Pakistan , which party or which General in power , when all the so called friends and International Safty nets and so on failed us.
 
when Sri Lanka faced grave threat to its freedoms and security in the face of terror it was not the Commonwealth nor its Secretary General or its nominal head the Queen of England who stepped in to help us , it was the Republic of Pakistan,very Pakistan we betrayed on 22 November 2007.
 
its true that there is a serious crisis in Pakistan in terms of governance , and there is emergency rule , which is stop short of Marshal law and the judiciary and the opposition parties are under threat, but its also a fact that Pakistan had seen its fair share of turmoil and there is moves within Pakistan to come to a settlement on this continuing crisis.
 
having being suspended from Commonwealth is , in fact for Pakistan is not a big deal, after all Commonwealth is nothing but sort of a glorified club to celebrate the now defunct British Empire and its gathered in the expenses of the UK taxpayers money so that that UK government and its head of state the Queen ( and what ever remnants of the Royal Family) gets to go on a nostalgic trip of a 'once a mighty empire we had ' sort of thing, where they get  a chance to tell their former colonies 'how bad' they are doing and ' what they must to ' to fix things up, the British way of course.
 
its irrelevant what the Commonwealth has to say about Pakistan or about any other country or the suspension of Pakistan from Commonwealth. however,whats relevant is that we have betrayed a friend , a friend who had been there for us in our time of need and had been many times over . therefor , the Government including the President and the FM must somehow do its best to rectify this grave error.
 
may be the best place to start is the up coming Parliamentary sitting where the Budget of the Foreign Ministry will be taken up. FM Bogollagama can explain what made him to take the pussy footed approach and Deputy FM Bhaila can explain what went wrong with the 'breakdown of communication ' which he seems to be repeatedly referring to and on the top of it , MP Basil Rajapaksha , being the Governments Viceroy in Parliament can say what they are going to do to fix the problem and also remedies in terms of not repeating the same mistake.
 
let us all hope that Pakistan doesn't experience a 'break down of communications' when they have to deal with a crisis facing Sri Lanka, if it arises in the future.

Fwd: LTTE admits committing mass murder-Nitharsanam 05.11.07


LTTE website Nitharsanam.com , in an article today (05 th November 2007 ) on the arrest of Karuna Amman in UK has admitted to LTTE committing mass murder.
 
in its article, Nitharsanam.com states:
 
" Karuna has to be tried for the mass murder on 11 June 1990 of the 600 Sinhala and Muslim police officers in the jungles of Thirukkovil.They were all blind-folded, with their hands tied behind their backs,and made to lie down before they were shot in the back of their heads"
 
we need to understand that during the 1990s Karuna Amman was the LTTE's Ampara-Batticaloa Area leader and was under the direct command of LTTE leader V.Prabakaran.considering the power structure of the LTTE then and now, its cristal clear who gave the order to carry out such an act of mass murder.
 
there for not only its important that Karuna Amman be tried of Mass Murder but also V.Prabakaran,along with the rest of the LTTE leadership must be tried for Mass Murder and acts against humanity.
 
LTTE website http://www.nitharsanam.com is believed to be run by the LTTE's intelligence wing , under the direct supervision of LTTE Intelligence and Assassination wing leader Pottu Amman.
 
following is a screen shot of the article as it appeared in Nitharsanam.com and the link to the said article.

Dispatching Terror 20 Fathoms Down

A group consisting thieves, smugglers, bank robbers and common
criminals organizes itself into a rag tag terrorist group with a few
hand guns. In time with support of politicians and other interest
groups they become a group practicing political terrorism and end up
with a flotilla of old ships and small air craft resembles farm
tractors. This is the evolution of the LTTE in a nutshell.

Leaving aside the LTTEs 'air power', in resent times there has been a
lot of chanting and praising about the deep sea fleet of LTTE gun
running, drug smuggling ships. LTTE not only used to talk about its
strategic sea lift 'ability' but also the fact that the LTTE own more
ships than the Sri Lankan Government. They were considered one of the
crown jewels of the Overseas Tamils who overtly supported the LTTEs
murderous cause to carve out a LTTE Eelam in Sri Lanka.

These ships represented the LTTEs ability to move weapons and other
warlike material to sustain its campaign of terror without hindrance,
and in tern exert pressure on any elected Government in Sri Lanka or
overseas. utilizing the sojourns within different bogus 'peace talks'
and cease fires ,and by spreading misinformation about Sri Lanka all
over the globe , the LTTE amassed a massive global network of support
and acceptance, portraying them as a indestructible force and a major
power player to recon with.

Then there was the former leader of this country who at times not only
accepted this as a fact but also gave justification and legitimacy to
such claims and continued to follow a policy of non engagement with
the LTTE, recognizing a somewhat 'de facto' status of the LTTE
'controlled ' areas. In a twist of fate this quasi Eelam states all
powerful ground elements lost all its ground and strength, stating
with the closure of the Mavil Aru anicut .

Military operations to save the Eastern Province from the LTTE had
dealt a major defeat to the LTTE and, effectively sounded the death
knell of the LTTE as a force to recon with. The over estimate state of
the LTTEs land fighting power seems to diminish on a daily basis, with
the continuing operating of the Sri Lankan Security Forces.

However, the LTTEs 'sea power' was a totally different in context. It
was foreseen as a major player in both shallow and deep water
operations and boasted as more powerful than the Sri Lankan Navy by
some 'think tanks' and 'independent' experts. Successive Sri Lankan
Governments, including Chandrika and Ranil administrations at many
times had to resist stiffly to the SLMMs moves to recognize LTTE 'Sea
Tigers' as a legitimate force.

all that came to a sad end on Monday the 8th October 2007, with the
sinking of the last of the 10 sea lift ships of the LTTE. Not only the
ship went to the bottom of the sea, 1700km south of Sri Lanka but with
it took a considerable consignment of arms and war like material. But
more than the material it took with itself down to the bottom of the
sea , it also took the prestige and the false dream of LTTE Sea Power
to the deep bottom of the Indian Ocean.

the dreams and aspiration of the LTTE, its Tamil Diaspora sponsors and
International guardians (including Local Supporters from so called
'Civil Society') of having the LTTE dominate the waters surrounding
the Island of Sri Lanka, the Indian Ocean that surrounds it and the
Sea Lanes that cross this Island went down the toilet when the Sri
Lanka Navy Spokesmen Commander D.K Dassanayake announced the
distraction of the last of LTTE ships on Monday.

by not having the anchorage rights at neighboring port around Sri
Lanka, its well known that LTTE ships acted as a network of floating
warehouses ,storing and ferrying arms and material for the LTTE and
disembarking as when required . This was thought the history of the
LTTEs 'sea power' and that was the very history that was put to an end
two days ago, 1700km south of Dondra head. Sri Lanka Navy should have
the full credit for ending this legacy and all the officers and
sailors of the Sri Lanka Navy must be commended for its actions.

Having said that, one must not expect that LTTE will not put and end
to its sea lift capability nor should the Navy not let off the guard,
expecting no more LTTE ships entering Sri Lankan waters. There are
many expatriate Tamils and other parties who benefit form the
prolonged conflict in Sri Lanka to the effect that LTTE will be able
to replace or may be may have already replaced couple of lost ships by
now. trained and experience crew, who not only are used to the waters
and arms smuggling may come hard to find for the LTTE and also crews
able to operate covertly in neutral ports and understand the Sri Lanka
Navy tactics will be a major hurdle the LTTE has to overcome in order
to restore the sea lift capability, knowing well the fact that all 10
shies the LTTE lost, had no single survivor.

After LTTE lost each and every engagement with the Sri Lankan Security
forces, in Land, Sea and Air the LTTE will call for a time out, just
so that it can get some critical rest and recuperation for its
fighters and sharpen its arsenal by replenishing its armory. they will
want to use this time out to chart out the prolonging this savage war
for another few years as it had happened in every 'Peace Talk' time
during the past couple of decades. unfortunate day for LTTE is that
this time that most wanted R&R is not possible due to a leader with
back bone within the seat of Government in Sri Lanka.MR has over and
over made his intentions clear , and his intentions for peace dose not
include granting a weekend and war weary LTTE re coupe rating/ re
arming period.

Added to this, there is the Sri Lankan Security Forces, who are with a
firm and strong resolve to give LTTE a permanent rest.

Question remains, despite these victories, why some quarters within
the Sri Lankan society want to play doom such victories.

State of the key rocketing cost of living and the continuation of war
against LTTE should not be mixed together and be considered as a
single issue. Any such linking of cost of living with war should be
considered a treacherous act , and should be seen as an act to destroy
the current march towards destruction of the LTTE and an attempt to
resuscitate the LTTE.

Annihilation of the LTTEs ocean going fleet is not a victory of the
Sri Lanka Navy nor a victory of MR, but a Victory of all peace loving
Sri Lankans, be it a Sinhalese , a Tamil , a Muslim or any other
community in Sri Lanka.
