Poor Sirisena is only a gullible sucker caught by perpetrators of con tricks Ranil and Chandrika.

Now it is the daughter representing the father

Ranil, Chandrika and the West  played a confidence trick on Sirisena.  Chandrtika knew Sirisena as  an easy bait  who could be made to dance to her tune.  She  gave him few lessons on back stabbing and Sirisena fell to the proposed plan like a gullible sucker. Ranil, Chndrika, Rajitha, Mangala knew that Sirisena was the ideal man who will swallow their bait to present himself as the President of Sri Lanka, when he was hardly able to speak up, as he said, for his rights under  the President Mahinda Rajapakse. 
In addition the tricksters  were planning to remove the executive power of the president, and knew by doing that  they could relegate Maithripala to a corner while Ranil  and Chandrika with their Western masters would be able to do as they want without having to bother about a nominal President a  gullible sucker who will be happy smiling, shaking hands and making speeches. 
Ranil is already experienced in that type of work, having been the Prime Miister under Chandrika. He did not care two hoots for President Chandrika, and Ranil the Prime Minister  took over Presidential powers, signing  the CFA with Prabhakaran dooming Sri Lanka to almost never ending terrorism, and going to the Whitehouse to meet George Bush.
Since he became the President Sirisena- the sucker  has done next to nothing other than assisting Prime Minister Ranil Wickramasinghe to take revenge on the former President Rajapakse to  fulfil Ranil’s desire to keep the field free from Rajapakse’s to assure his Presidential ambition in 2020.
What has this sucker President Sirsena done  so far.  He cannot do any thing on his own as he is strictly under the control of Ranil and Chandrika.  To begin with he appointed his guarding angel Ranil, the Prime Minister. Sirisena helped Ra     nil to  dismiss the Chief Justice  Mohan Pieris, re appoint Shirani Bandaranaike as the Chief Justice, and  make her resign from the Office, to appoint K.Sripavan a Tamil for the purpose of reconciliation with the LTTE Tamil diaspora, but not with the Tamils in Sri Lanka. 
The realisation of USA and Western Agenda in Sri Lanka depends  on to the extent they please the Tamil Diaspora  Therefore, Ranil and Chandrika made Sirisena take all those actions completely in breach of the Constitution of Sri Lanka to please the USA and the West.  As much as Ranil and Chandrika are grateful to USA and the West in giving them a hand for the regime change in Sri Lana, the sucker Sirisena is grateful to Ranil and Chandrika for making a President out of him.
Ranil Wickramasinghe is a law unto himself and knows that the USA and the West is with him and treats Sirisena as a dumbo.  Sirisena  makes speeches and promises things and Ranil and his UNP cabinet turns their backs to him and do what they think is right.  What part did Sirisena play in the recent Budget of Ravi Karunanayake ?  Sirisena had no say in it ? Even if he had Ranil would not have listened to him.  Sirisena if he has any plan , he would like to implement, he has he has no one in the Parliament to give him a hand.
But it was Ranil who kept changing the Budget Presented by Ravi Karunanayake until it became unrecognisable even by the Finance Minister himself. Now Ranil and Chandrika are trying to find ways out to fix the balance of payment,  even if it were to  sell out  Sri Lanka to USA and the West.
By the way what was the mid term plan of Ranil Wickramasinghe ?
Sirisena had no hand in its preparation, and the report was one Ranil had prepared in 2002.  There is nothing new or innovative in it, other than make Sri Lanka dependent  to USA and the West.
After the Bond Scam Sirisena asked Ranil Wickramasinghe to remove the governor of the Bank- Arjuna Mahendran , and Ranil turned him a deaf ear and the Governor of the Central bank remains the same swindler that he was.  He- the Governor of the Central Bank now invites Saudi Arabia to set up an oil refinery, hope it is not another stunt of his to swindle additional bakshis from Saudi Arabia..
Sri Lanka has been turned topsy-turvy by Ranil and his UNP goons in Parliament.  Sirisena himself had no hand in it, as Ranil and Chandrika would not share their political secrets with Sirisena, because they too do not have confidence in Sirisena. The sucker he is, Sirisena, cannot imagine what has happened to him. 
He is always packed out of the country to attend world conferences abroad, where he has not contributed any thing for the world to take notice.  He was not anywhere near the Western leaders at the Conferences who make their own group whether at the CHOGM in Malta or at the World Climate change Conference in France.  In the group photographs taken Sirisena is seen with the African leaders far away from the USA and Western leaders who take the Centre stage.
The representatives of USA and  the West just shake hands and make a passing word of flattery which keeps Sirisena happy and satisfied.  He comes backs to Sri Lanka after the conferences to find that Ravi Karunanayake  with the support of Ranil Wickramasinghe has taken steps to sell the country to the foreign investors.
UN Personnel and USA  Agents make themselves quite at home examining the Naval Camps and preparing the handing over of the North and East  for a Tamil administration.   Sirisena has already become a dummy. He is happy  because ignorance is bliss when he does not know what exactly is going on behind his back.
Latest information that Sirisena is perhaps unaware,  is what was discussed at a recent meeting Ranil is said to have had with Chandrika some where in London.  They are said to have discussed Sirisena the President without executive powers and what the devolution packet to the Tamils in the north is going to be.
President Sirisena when he left SLFP having back stabbed his leader, to make his  “midnight flight “ to the bossom of Chandrika and Ranil to be their common Presidential Candidate,  to make his escape reasonable in the eyes of the public came out with the story that if he were to loose  the Presidential election he and his family would be six feet underground in a secret cemetery.  With  that he made the people understand the  criminal tendency of the Rajapakse regime. Some of the people may have believed , as Maithripala was for 47 years in the SLFP along with Mahinda Rajapakse
However a majority of the people would  not have believed that as Mahinda Rajapakse had no criminal  disposition.  On the other hand he stopped terrorism and underworld Criminality at least to a certain extent. There were no scandals and commission like those of Batalanda torture camps against Rajapakses’  The White Van culture was a hoax of the UNP to discredit the Armed Forces and the Defence Secretary of Sri Lanka.  If there was one it was not sponsored by the Rajapakse Regime but it was and is still being used by the UNP and anti Mahibda Rajapakse elements to project an Image of Rajapakse Government to please the west.  JVP who are well known for their Stalinist criminal beginning,  white wash themselves with such stories against the government of Mahinda Rajapakse. The people would not believe JVP as they were with Mahind Rajapakse at the beginning, and left thinking that they had gained enough popularity to get peoples’ votes to form a government of their own.
Sirisena is often packed off to make his speeches at international forums.  His first speech at the UNO was a very sad drill of trying to give the world an insight into Buddhist teachings as a means to achieve peace in a world in the throes of  human conflict. It had certainly  been written by a Christian.  It does not even speak of the  teachings of the Buddha, but about  Buddhist ethos:
“As we learn from the Buddhist ethos prevalent in Sri Lanka, I recognize there are three kinds of human conflicts.The first is the conflict between the human being and nature. We are constantly engaged in this conflict in order to enjoy material comforts in life.  As a result, modern human beings seek to exploit natural resources extensively in the name of development. The second is the conflict between ‘human’ and ‘human’. Such conflicts occur among individuals, among communities and among nations. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights affirms that such conflicts occur when human rights are not protected by rule of law.
The third is the conflict within the human being The two kinds of conflict I mentioned earlier occur when we lose the battle within us as human beings. Therefore, this is the root cause of all conflicts ” 
Sirisena may not have  listened to Dhamma as he should have, because he had a mind   scheming and planning for his own egoist political ambition of cutting the throat of  his  leader to take his place.  He once said that, “ when he is at home he is distressed  he does not know  what to do,  and stay thinking lying in his bed for hours .  His wife and children came to him and said, papa do not  worry what ever you do we will stand by you.”

However, his Christmas greetings sound hollow, “Christmas symbolizes the birth of Jesus Christ who assumed a powerful voice, teaching us lessons of kindness and charity that have lasted for more than 2000 years. The Christian message of humanity, love to all beings and humility is seen in the birth of Christ taking place in a stable shared by animals and his first worshipers being humble shepherds.
For Sirisena , “The philosophy of the Prophet Muhammad is an example not only for the Islamic devotees, but also for the entire nation.”  How much of it does Sirisena really know ?  Apparently  from what he had done to completely upset a smoothly working development process in Sri Lanka , he seems to have not grasped the fundamentals of Buddhist philosophy

He makes speeches  and says what he wants to do but, it is not he who decides  it is Ranil and Chandrika who finally take decisions.  Sirisena said nothing directly on the very controversial budget presented by Ranil and Ravi Karunanayake.  But he grunted in places that, “.. he would not allow foreign companies to enter into Gem Mining industry in Sri Lanka.”  Sirisena proposes but Ranil and Chandrika dispose.

President Sirisena, who helps Ranil and Chandrika to sell Sri Lanka to foreign interests has said ,  “ … without abusing the freedom of expression provided to talk in Parliament and through media today, they should use it to promote peace, harmony and reconciliation by shunning petty party politics. They should rally around to work towards progress and eradication of poverty and to ensure that there would not be another war in this country.”

Sirisena has probably not heard what the opposition to UNP and Yahapalanaya is  speaking out using at least the freedom to talk freely in parliament.

Sirisena speaking to the Scouts had said, “…how discipline learned as a scout during his school days has helped him to carry out the responsibilities as Sri Lanka's President.” 

One can now understand how his discipline has still not risen above what it was when he was a scout. First when he joined the enemies of his political party,  and then acting in  breach of  the Constitution on Several occasions after he became the President, he broke the first duty of a scout, duty to God and country.  In  writing a  letter to Mahinda Rajapaksa to say that even if he were to win the election he would not be made the Prime Minister, he broke the second duty of a Scout - the duty to other people. Duty to self the third duty of a Scout is for him not to do what he professed others not to do, which Sirisena broke openly in taking his son to UN, allowing his daughter to represent him at state functions, and promoting nepotism.

Sirisena who played all tricks he could think of to  keep Mahinda Rajapakse away from politics, behaving in a very distasteful manner a President should not have behaved, now says in an interview to Sunday Lanka Deepa, “ I will not retire from politics. Politicians cannot retire from their social engagements. It is true that the Executive Presidency will be abolished. We will make strong and comprehensive measures in that direction. But that does not mean that I will retire from politics after abolition of Executive Presidency .” 

This is probably some thing prompted to him by Ranil-Chandrika duo.  By doing that they can keep Mahinda Rajapakse from being a probable Prime Minister, or it may be Sirisena’s fear that he will be put six feet under ground in an unknown place.

What a hypocrite is Maithripala Sirisena ?  People should not give him even a vote at any future election.

Another one of his proposals is to stop concerts where Sri Lankan culture and morals are destroyed by foreign artistes..  In the mean time Maithripala Sirisena has managed to stop the Finance Minister Ravi Karunanayake of money laundering fame, from making another scandalous deal, “A Cabinet Paper forwarded by Minister of Finance, Ravi Karunanayake, seeking Cabinet approval to compensate an individual, paying Rs 300 million from government coffers was put on hold by 

President Maithripala Sirisena during the Cabinet meeting on Wednesday (23), December, 2015.”
In the mean  time the Tamils  racist politicians in the North praise President Maithripala Sirisena, “ …. Recently, the Chairman of the Northern Provincial Council praised President Maithripala Sirisena and expressed his gratitude on behalf of the Northern Provincial Council, for lashing out at the racist views from the South and expressing his desire towards expediting the resettlement process in the Northern Province.”  He has switched the racial views, allowing the Tamil politicians of the North call the Sinhala south the racists.

Ranil and Chandrika have squeezed away from Maithripala Sirisena all the powers of  a real President, and soon he will be reduced to a decoration pushed into a corner, with Ranil  his UNP goons and Chandrika taking the centre stage. The slithery eel Nimal Sirispala de Silva is now making noises to attract the attention of Ranil and Chandrika. 


It is the story of the Fox and the Crow: A fox was walking through the forest when he saw a crow sitting on a tree branch with a fine piece of cheese in her beak. The fox wanted the cheese and……..  .

Yahapalanaya Undertakers perparing last rights on still unburied Sri Lanka dead since 8the January, 2015.

Chief UNP undertaker  who helped  in the death of peaceful  Sri Lanka
Hypocrites who behind smiles hide their low intention of regime change
Obama -Gaddafi

Since its death the corps of the unburied Sri Lanka now begins to stink. It had worms inside it.  They crawled out to  join the undertakers.  The undertakers  try to make out that it was a natural death, but it was a well planned murder, every one knows it.

 But the  Chief Undertaker wearing green coat and trousers instead of usual black has got his police dogs after the previous government to accuse the members of it  for murder, but the dogs have gone after the artificial  smells  given to them and having gone  round in circles, are now barking up the wrong trees.   

The worms that crawled out  have now joined the Yahapalanaya undertakers. The worm that is prized by the undertakers -Sirisena was at the Vatican  consulting Pope for advise on the performance of the burial rights of Sri Lanka that was murdered on the 8th January.   High ranking  delegations come in great numbers from USA , UNO and UK.  They are already practicing the funeral orations before the burial ceremony schedule for the 19th December,2015.

The Visiting US Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs (Designate) Thomas Shannon, after leaving  the  bier where the decomposing  corps of  Sri Lanka lay, went to Trincomalee to tell the Tamil ,  how exiting  it was  to witness first-hand the important work that communities, civil society organizations, and local authorities across this island are undertaking to improve the living standards of Sri Lankans, after the murder in which USA had a hand.  That however is far from what the people of the country now think about  all that mumbo jumbo of Shannon.
Sarkozy -Gaddafi

Shannon added  “We are supporting programs that bring together Tamil, Sinhalese, and Muslim youth on the sports field. And we are providing them with English language and entrepreneurship training, as well as opportunities for exchange programs, and ways to address issues like gender-based violence. We’re also working with partners in the East to help eradicate the risk from those terrible remnants of war – landmines. That means increasing mine-risk awareness and building the capacity of mine detection teams. We’re moving toward a future where a farmer can till a field and a child can play cricket without any fear of losing a limb, or worse, to a hidden land mine,”   
He speaks as if these things had never happened before.  USA has no lesson to give Sri Lanka.

Since the crawling out of  worms and murder of Sri Lanka on the 8th January,2015, what remains  is a phantom state resuscitated from the  old, USA was wooed by the green vested chief undertaker Ranil and his acolyte the dumb faced Mangala, resulting in  the special relationship with USA which has  grown in proportion.

During the election,  in which  Sri Lanka- the paradise was lost, when the Mahinda Rajapaksa campaign highlighted the agenda of regime change of  USA and the West , and  the gathering of foreign reactionary forces to destabilise Sri Lanka and install a West friendly government in place of the Mahinda Rajapakse government, many UNP stalwarts pooh -poohed the idea as an election gimmick to fool the people,  asking why should USA and the West be interested in a small country like ours.  They believe USA is a  good Samaritans  for Sri Lanka.
Gaddafi with Ban Ki Moon Obama and the rest

Do the UNP undertakers know the real  reason behind USA’s  show of  friendship to Sri Lanka ?  
USA helped the pelerine Ranil, Chandrika, and Mangala to plan and execute the murder of Sri Lanka, and crown the worm that they  made to crawl out from a peaceful paradise Island  the President.  They also helped Sri Lanka to distance itself from China. Shannon the visiting representative of USA told the Tamils in Trincomalee, that   the United States will steadfastly support the Sri Lankan people as they continue on their historic journey towards prosperity, peace, and reconciliation. 
How can USA help Sri Lanka, even UK and Australia turn to China for help ?  America will  not help Sri Lanka’s development process as USA never gives large scale financial aid to countries.  Sri Lanka’s foolish UNP undertakers have distance themselves from China to please USA and India. America is ready only with bombs and guns to help countries like they did to Libya.
Shannon was voicing American Foreign policy  towards the new  Sri Lanka and USA favourite  Ranil and the worm that came out of  the former regime in time, seem to be quite satisfied and carry out the dictates of USA.
Reason for USA  patronized relationship  towards Sri Lanka is documented in an evaluation  report prepared for the US State Department, by the US Agency for International Development.  It is called: “ Sri Lanka: The Impact of  PL 480 Title I Food Assistance” dated  October,1982. It reads as follows in the  extract below under the heading :
Tony Blair and Gaddafi

United States Interests

Two factors give Sri Lanka an international importance greater than its modest size and economic position might otherwise suggest: its strategic location and its influential role in both the nonaligned movement and the Group of 77.

Strategically, Sri Lanka lies astride merchant shipping lanes that are as important to the flow of oil and trade between Asia and the Middle East and Europe today as they were to colonial trade in past centuries. It is juxtaposed between important western naval and air facilities in the Indian Ocean, the Philippines, and the Far East. There is no question that the United States has an added interest in the neutrality and independence of a nation which commands strategic resources and a position of this nature. …………….

It is clear that if Sri Lanka were to be irreparably rent by communal strife or seriously affected by a deteriorated economic position, this would be counter to U.S. interests.

Moderation in Sri Lanka, which is reflected by the respect it receives in international circles and the preservation of the tradition of strongly participatory democratic government, is far preferable to the United States. The extent to which the PL 480 program has helped to achieve this foreign policy interest of th~ United States is not easily quantifiable. The stability of the program, however, and its continuation even when relations between the two nations were cool, indicate that PL 480 Title I is likely to have had a positive role in bilateral relations. Today, PL 480 is an important aspect of these relations, and overall the results have been both developmentally and politically positive over the past several years.

Because of Sri Lanka's small size, its relative importance in the areas of market development and surplus disposal through PL 480 has been small in comparison with the important development and foreign policy roles.”  http://pdf.usaid.gov/pdf_docs/PNAAJ623.pdf

This is what our people failed to understand. The truth now comes from the horse’s mouth.

It was the Trade Union Leaders and he JVP that laughed when it was said that  there was a planned foreign interference in Sri Lanka for a regime change. Handunetti of  JVP once ridiculed in the TV political program “ Aluth Parlimenthuwa” a Sri Lankan who had come from London and gave evidence of  how the London Town Council  collaborated with the Tamil diaspora  allowing  London Buses to display large LTTE slogans. The Trade Union Leaders  are interested in increasing of their  salaries  , and care less for the safe guarding  of culture and religion. JVP does not mind piggybacking  on  UNP shoulders, if that would serve them have a few more votes at the next election.
Hermon Van Rompu EU President- Gaddafi

That is the problem in Sri Lanka they are self interested to fulfil their own personal ambitions  rather than  be concerned about the country and its people.  Do they speak about  Ranil’s UNP government’s proposal to remove the Prevention of Terrorism Act , making it easy for the TNA to set up a separate Tamil State in the North ?  Trade Unions do not speak either about it , nor about 99 or 50 year lease of land to foreign investors.
The Sri Lanka of today is in the hands of a Catholic leadership and its President is being led by his nose. But Mahinda Rajapakse was a Buddhist leader who made Buddhist sermons delivered from his official  residence Temple trees every full moon poya day to be heard by the people of Sri Lanka. Mahinda Rajapakse’s  visit to Pope was on behalf of the Catholics in Sri Lanka.
But Sirisena having no Buddhist thoughtfulness merely imitates Mahinda Rajapakse . Incidently Sirisena is meeting with the Pope too not wanting to be second to Mahinda Rajapakse who he helped to oust under  USA and Western sponsored regime change carried out by the Western lackeys Ranil and Chandrika.
CeylonToday on  December,2015 reported, “His Holiness Pope Francis gave audience to President Maithripala Sirisena at Vatican yesterday. ……..This meeting is taking place at a crucial point of the course of humanity's history. …..The world may very well be on the brink of another world war. Nations stand divided based on their religions, beliefs and cultures. Racism is running rampant alongside nationalism and patriotism continues to poison nation by nation………Therefore, President Maithripala Sirisena's meeting with Pope Francis could not have come at a better time. Even though we maybe a small island nation, we will not be left out if ever the terror comes knocking. Thus, we will require all the support we could muster.”

That is strange because the President Mahinda Rajapakse was able to eliminate terrorism without seeking  advice from the Pope in Rome.

The CeylonToday  continued in its report, “ Sri Lanka is still suffering from the scars that were left from the three decades of war that has changed us into what we are now. The reconciliation process is slow and dragged out and would take an indefinite amount of time to succeed.
Recently, Catholic priest Rev. Fr. S. V. B. Mangalarajah – one of the many religious leaders fighting for the rights of the Tamils in the two areas – had complained to the media that a lot could be achieved if the spiritual needs of the Tamils could be seriously looked into…..Though we agree with the Reverend's observations it is not simply the spiritual needs of the Tamils that should be specifically met, but also the necessary spiritual needs of the varying religions that are within the country. Not just the Tamils, but also the Muslims, the Catholics, the Hindus, the Christians and even the Buddhists. We can only hope that President Sirisena remembered to bring this up when he met the Pope.
Religion can corrupt as well as bring enlightenment to those who follow i….. there are followers who are truly enlightened leading us towards the eventual peace and prosperity. Pope Francis has that ability as well as the skill to do so and hopefully his wisdom he shared with President Sirisena would not be water poured on a duck's back.

We the Buddhists of Sri Lanka beg to differ. In Sri Lanka we have the greatest religious philosophy in the world. If the world could listen to the teachings of the compassionate Buddha, they will not be what they are today trying to solve problems with bombs and guns. Buddhism appeals to the minds of the people, and not to an unseen God to bring peace to the world.

The God in the Bible has never appeared before the people to solve their problems. The God in the Bible always spoke through a prophet and there is no proof whether the God really spoke to them.  When Moses asked God to appear before the people he said no one can see his face and live (Exodus 33:20) The God says “ thou shall not worship no other God: for the Lord , whose name is jealous, is a jealous God (Exodus 34:14).  Hence the God of the Bible is not conciliatory.  

Therefore if you believe in that God represented by the Pope,  what CeylonToday says,  “Though we agree with the Reverend's observations it is not simply the spiritual needs of the Tamils that should be specifically met, but also the necessary spiritual needs of the varying religions that are within the country. Not just the Tamils, but also the Muslims, the Catholics, the Hindus, the Christians and even the Buddhists, would only be wishful thinking. 

Solution for reconciliation cannot be found in Rome, USA or UK, because the solution is in Sri Lanka, amoung different people of the different Communities.  But today Sri Lanka is not what it was before the 8th January,2015, therefore there should be  a re-thinking if peace, security and unity of communities have to be built. The present yahapalanaya leadership cannot take Sri Lanka from its preset impasse to  security, development and prosperity, because  beginning from the Yahapalanaya President, Prime Minister, Foreign Minister, Finance Minister and the rest of the UNP Ministers have jealousy, hatred, anger, and desire for revenge in their minds. 

Therefore they cannot think positively of ways to give security to the country, reconcile the people or unite the Communities. The Yahapalanayas complain that Mahinda Rajapakse was a Dictator.  But, it is not true.  He may have been an authoritarian in the capacity of the leader of the cabinet.  
That would have been necessary to keep his  cabinet of Ministers together and loyal. What else could he do when he  could not even  have confidence in the Secretary General of his Party the  Ministers Maithripala Sirisena, there were unreliable Ministers like   Nimal Siripala-another worm that was said to have been ready to leave the camp to join the UNP undertakers, but he had been discouraged in time, Rajitha Senaratne  a scheming individual, D.M Jayaratne the Prime Minister  sticking on to the office despite his illness and inability to perform his duties, Mahinda Samarasinghe bloated with ambition who will do any thong to keep his Ministerial power,  Sarath Amunugama who would shamelessly  change sides to retain power and Ministerial prestige, S.B.Dissanayake an eternal turncoat, Dilan Perera who does not know which way to turn , an utterly untrustworthy individual , and  Pavithra Wanniarachchi, 
Sudharshani Fernandopulle's late husband Jeyraj Fernandopulle

Sudharshani Fernandopulle,  Reginald Cooray, Yapa Abeywardhana, Dayasiri Jayasekara  how easily they changed sides without giving a thought to their principles and self respect if they had any.           

The Country needs a socialist dictator ship, for that the Yahapalanaya President , his Prime Minister and his cabinet should go.  They have no place in a Sinhala Buddhist Sri Lanka.  To say that is neither racism nor nationalism .  It is the truth.  If Sri Lanka is once again to be what it was before  the 8th January,2015, it has to be under a Socialist Dictatorship.  That is how China was able to come away from the darkness of poverty to brightness of prosperity. 

Sri Lanka was on its way to become a great country and a nation, the first amoung the developing countries to reach the goal of being a  developed country.

To-day  despite all the hosannas of praise sung by the USA and the West we are at the bottom of an abyss, to get out of which we seem to have no hope. Our Constitution will be written by Norwegians who prepared the CFA that Ranil Wickramasinghe signed with the terrorist Prabhakaran, our Army is to be re-organised by  UK, our land is to be sold or given on 99 or 50 year lease to foreign investors, all public institutions, hospitals,  education system, Postal and Railway Departments , water and electricity  are to be handed over to private companies, the government servants are to be deprived of  hitherto known pension rights, our heroic soldiers are to be tried for war crimes by foreign judges, prosecutors, and lawyers.

In the meantime India is proceeding with construction of  sea bridge and tunnel to connect Sri Lanka to Tamil Nadu.  Ranil is proposing to sign CEPA agreement with India giving it a different name to fool the people, it will open employment sector to Indian workers.

This yahaplanaya cronies  do not see Sri Lanka as a model for others to emulate, but want to develop Sri Lanka following  other models Singapore, Malaysia and  South Africa.

Do we see a way out other than by getting rid of the Yahapalanaya crowd, and re installing democracy, stopping Sri Lanka becoming a police State. Now itself the Prime Minister  is curtailing the powers of the Parliament not allowing the democratic right of  Parliamentarians  to present a no confidence motion against the Finance Minister. The Speaker of the House has become a yes man of the Prime Minister. Sirisena the President is blissfully unaware of what is taking place in our once paradise Sri Lanka.


We can only pray that democracy is re established, and Litchavi principles followed with out making Sri Lanka a Capitalist dictatorship of Ranil the western lackey , a  playground for the rich investors from USA and West enjoy the riches of our Island paradise, denying it to the people of this country.

Sirisena, Wicramasinghe and a money launderer’s Budget.


The Budget Presented to the Parliament by the Finance Minister of Yahapalanaya is a complete sellout of Sri Lanka to Foreigners. The Budget is now in Committee stage in the Parliament. The SLFP Parliamentarians who have accepted Ministries should give them up and join rank with the UPFA rather than betray the country and the people who voted for them. The President Sirisena is not the country, therefore the loyalty to the country is greater than the loyalty to the President Sirisena.

In this Parliament of today controlled by the yahapalanaya Ranil Wickramasinghe the Prime Minister of Sri Lanka behaves like a clown. He calls the Members of the Parliament by all types of names –pimps, gypsies, donkeys, beggars and monkeys.  He likes to laugh at his own clowning.  Ranil does not seem to understand that his fashion of behaviour in the Parliament is not in keeping with the position he holds as the Prime Minister of Sri Lanka. 

As a Prime Minister he should have patience, controlled temper and wise, intelligent repartees.  It is not his coat and tie that make him respectable but the way he behaves and speaks.  He should not speak hatefully of the former President who was a great leader, and Ranil should speak more respectfully when he refers to him.

The latest clowning of Ranil was when he called the parliamentarians criticising the Budget “card board” patriots.  All these insults to the representatives of the people in Parliament are indirect insults to the people of the country.  This shows to what extent the PM does not care either the Parliamentarians nor the people of the country .  Ranil Wickramasinghe the Prime Minister has become a law unto himself.

Unfortunately Ranil Wickramasinghe is a man without a vision, a disadvantage to a man expected to decide on the destiny of a nation. His policy statement  is not different from that which he had presented in  2004. Some right wing “intellectuals” point out that the Budget present by Ravi Karunanayake contradicts Prime Minister’s policy statement. Ranil Wickramasinghe often makes strange promises. In some of his earlier election campaigns he promised gold chains and bracelets  to young people if he was elected and recently he said he will make the farmers wear jeans.  It also  shows the extent to which Ranil Wickramasinhe’s  mind is warped  and West oriented.

This is the man that calls representatives of the people in Parliament  “cardboard patriots” because they are defending Sri Lanka against  the yahapalana  political leadership of archaic mentality who has joined hands with the West to destroy Sri Lanka that had remained a unitary state with a Buddhist culture for over 2500 years,  which had accepted other communities in good faith to share this land.

Sirisena the President of Yahapalanaya, is the duplicate of the Prime Minister except for the clowning part. He lacks humour, because his mind is burning with jealousy and hatred. They  speak of democracy but democracy left Sri Lanka on the 8th January,2015 when the democratic and the popular people’s President was defeated at the Presidential election.

From the day one of his election Sirisena the newly elected President broke all norms of democracy and  acted completely in breach of the Constitution of Sri Lanka. He reminds one of Musila of the Jataka story “Guttila and Musila”. Sirisena like Musila  has already broken the first few strings of the seven stringed violin, it remains few more strings to prove he is better than the master. He has played with all the seven strings so badly, there is no saying that he will do better with  what remains.

Sirisena’s  swearing in of Ranil Wickramasinghe as his Prime Minister when there was already a Prime Minister  was his blundering entry into the high office of President which marked his incompatibility. It was  a further distasteful confirmation of his indecent excessive greed for power for which he walked away stealthily like a thief in the night  back stabbing the leader of the political party that  was the cradle of his political life to join hands with his political enemies to change the path of  development and progress Sri Lanka was taking to divert it to a disastrous political abyss from which it will never be able to climb back.

Beside Sirisena’s incompetence he has allowed himself to be manipulated by scheming self ambitious  Christians and ugly revengeful Western lackeys. Sirisena has joined hands with them, to  sacrifice Sri Lanka to satisfy their ego.  They are  taking the President  Mahinda Rajapakse , his family, friends and all in some way connected to him to discredit them, label them corrupt and take them to courts or merely  smear them with false accusations to take away the love and affection the grateful  people of Sri Lanka have for them.

Hemantha Warnakulasuriya PC said in TV program Pethkada, that Mahinda Rajapakse was different after the elimination of terrorists, and that he took himself for a King.  One can imagine the immense pride, great satisfaction,  relief and happiness he had when  the end of terrorism was announced to him. In a way one cannot blame the former president feeling like a King as he was the only political leader who was able to eliminate terrorism and bring whole of Sri Lanka  under one flag , like King Dutugamunu who united the country after chasing away the Cholas who had occupied the then capital and the environment of Sri Lanka for nearly 25 years.

In the same breath Warnakulasuriya said that JR Jayawardhana too  acted like a King, when he became the  President in 1978.  But that was JR’s egoism. JR had done  nothing glorious  to Sri Lanka to claim that right. He only made matters worse for Sri Lanka after  his period of Presidency.  Of course Hemantha Warnakulasuriya has to be careful not to praise Mahinda Rajapakse, lest he would be taken by Ranil Wickramasinghe’s FCID for questioning and remanding.  That is what Sri Lanka has become today after the pretended Yahapalanaya of Sirisena.  People fear to speak the truth in respect of the former President.  There is no democracy any more in Sri Lanka it is a dictatorship and a police state of Sirisena, Wickramasinghe and Chandrika. 

Sri Lanka is going down the drain to disaster, but Ranil and his lackey Mangala send FCID after the former President or any one connected to the former government .  That is the only thing Ranil seems to be doing,  all the rest are visionless ideas he had when he was Prime Minister last time in 2001-2004.

It is better leave Chandrika without of comments, as one sees her boiling jealousy, anger and hatred in her distorted face, reminding one of the Goddess Kali of the Hindu pantheon of Gods. Chandrika claims nobility being a Bandaranaike, which may cause the skeletal remains of  her dead parents rattle in their coffins.

If Sirisena is a President who respects democracy and good governance, he should have stood aloof, independent and not interfering in political battles  amoung political parties during the general election of August,2015.  He should have known despite his treachery in leaving his own political party stealthily to join with the UNP, that once he is  elected the President with the massive vote of the Tamils and Muslims he nevertheless, becomes the President of all the people in Sri Lanka and therefore he should remain independent, silent, non-interfering without taking sides with any community or a political party.

But he did the opposite by doing all he could to insult, discredit, discourage and stop the political carrier of  his former political party leader Mahinda Rajapakse  in addition to  the wounds he inflicted on him the day he walked away in the night like a rogue to give himself up to Ranil Wickramasinghe, Chandrika Kumaratunga, Champika Ranawaka and Mangala Samaraweera, to make of him a President of the reactionary forces, his political enemies.

Venerable Maduluwawe Sobhitha thero, when he saw how what he expected of Sirisena and the united force he helped to build against the former President had been distorted and was selling Sri Lanka to foreign forces, he spoke against it.  Sirisena and Ranil Wickramasinghe saw the danger Venerable Sobitha posed  to their  Yahapalanaya. The venerable Bikkhu who was taken suddenly ill was packed off to a hospital in Singapore from where he never returned alive.  Some say the same thing happened to another venerable monk who wanted reforms – the Late Venerable Soma Thero.

Sirisena was sure that Mahinda Rajapakse will win  at the general election on the 17 August,2015. He therefore had to forget that he was the President of Sri Lanka  before he became the President of the SLFP and the UPFA, and began doing all he could to stop Mahinda Rajapakse win at the elections.  Sirisena announced to Mahinda Rajapakse that he as the President will not  make him the Prime Minister even if he wins at the election, and named some members of the UPFA who are suitable to be appointed as  Prime Minister.  Then on the eve of the General elections he sacked the General Secretaries of the SLFP and UPFA and appointed two of his lackeys in their place.

Can all those actions of Sirisena the President of Sri Lanka be called democratic or a mark of good governance ?  Naturally the anti Sri Lanka foreign governments applaud his Presidency as democratic and proof of good governance, but the people in the villages  do not acclaim him as such.  But they are unable to change things as democracy has been taken away from them and a police state installed with the connivance of the Western Governments.

Yahapalanaya is  a government like the caravan that moves on  however much the dogs bark.

All  Sirisena  did was  with the one intention of  making UNP leader Ranil Wickramasinghe the member of the Mont Pelerin Society,  the Prime Minister of Sri Lanka as it was he who took him out of the political shadow into lime light of politics.

The ego centred SLFP Parliamentarians who have joined hands with the visionless UNP  do not see,  in their greed  to hold onto Ministries and to keep away from the feared  Ranil Wickramasinghe’s FCID,  are becoming a part of the UNP plan, (to destabilise Sri Lanka which had been brought out of the clutches of terrorism and developed to be a middle income country), to handover  Sri Lanka to the USA and the West to make it once again a dependent country. In that effort Yahapalanaya goons have distanced Sri Lanka from China and embraced India and the West. UK has prome

Yahapalanaya in the eyes of Maithripala Sirisena is making speeches and meeting  great white personalities of the world and shake their un-gloved hands.  He is happy with that , the dangers that come to Sri Lanka, from the actions taken by the Pelerin Ranil Wickramasinghe , Mangala Samaraweera and Ravi Karunanayake,  he  is blissfully unaware.  It is normal with a man despite having been a Minister of Health in Mahinda Rajapakse’s government, whose knowledge of  worldly matters  is limited. He even thought the  Buckingham Palace was in New York.  He is happy with little things repeating before assembled gatherings  his great achievement of shaking the un-gloved hand of the Queen.

How can the Sri Lankan people expect good governance from this cabal led by Maithripala Sirisena ?

It is those  others rich and self interested Sinhala of the business community , self interested academics, perhaps the Catholics because the Church demanded their support for a UNP government, teachers who expected a Rs.10,000,00 increase to their basic salary , and others who wanted a change and the Tamils and Muslims the major contributors of vote for Maithripala Sirisena’s victory at the Presidential election, and those others who  wanted a change from Mahinda Rajapakse led government,  having partly swallowed the rumours prepared for people’s consumption by  the experts of the American CIA, and those who fear being taken away by Ranil’s FCID, that support Yahapalanaya directly or indirectly in silence. 

Ranil’s FCID and accusation of former government culture  has become much worse than the White Van culture the Yahapalanaya Ministers often refer to making themselves knights in shining armor.  Mont Pelerin Ranil Wickramasinghe is the agent of the USA, with his lackey Mangala Samaraweera all out to sell Sri Lanka to the West. 

Under the Yahapalanaya Government, Sri Lanka  seems already occupied by the West. UK  offers 6 million UK pounds to upgrade Sri Lanka Armed Forces appointing UK Military Attaché in New Delhi to  overseer how the funds are used.  Norway in the  meantime is to send  an expert to help Sri Lanka in the preparation of a New constitution. 

Sirisena’s Yahapalanaya is like the Marchal Petain’s Vichy Government of France which collaborated with the Germans  during their occupation of France. Mangala Samaraweera and Ranil Wickramasinghe sponsored at the Geneva UNHRCouncil the USA resolution against Sri Lanka

Mangala Samaraweera said very proudly as a great achievement that 725 of the Rajapakse clan is under accusation by the Ranil’s FCID.  It is on that falsehood of corruption allegations the Yahapalanaya Government has built their pseudo democratic government and that for them is the  only means of  survival as a government and have the protection of the West.

Mount Pelerin Ranil Wickramasinghe following the USA regime change instructions from the CIA and the USA Embassy in Sri Lanka tried all possible tricks of the trade to change the Rajapaksa Regimaya, with rumours of  White Van kidnappings, disappearance of journalists, killing of Lasantha  Wickramatunga. It was all to accuse the Mahinda Rajapakse Government and make the people rise against it, like the Arab Spring in Tunisia and Egypt. But the people of Sri Lanka saw through it and refused to rise against their beloved President Mahinda Rajapakse , Gotabhaya Rajpakse and the Rajapakse Government.

USA thought  Mount Pelerin Wickramasinghe lacked the intelligence to change Rajapakse regime despite their well thought out plans, with an on going resolution against Sri Lanka Armed Forces for violation of human rights and war crimes.  Finally USA arranged to educate  Pelerin Wickramasinghe in Regime Change Tactics.

Ceylontoday of 9 April, 2014 reported  in an article “Harvard and Ranil: Worlds apart”

“ UNP Leader Ranil Wickremesinghe is reportedly on a study tour at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to learn the art of toppling governments. After his stint at the MIT, the Opposition Leader will head to Harvard University, one of the finest places of academic and research excellence, on a lecturing tour. That is at least what his acolytes at the UNP say………………Nonetheless, Wickremesinghe needs to do some soul-searching during his stint at two great American universities. He could then see that he himself has been the main handicap for his own Party, the UNP……………The good thing is that those MIT dons would realize that Ranil is the real obstacle and they could well suggest that he should step down from the Party leadership……………..As for the so-called invite extended to Ranil by Harvard, we have our reservations. This could very well be another gimmick by his spin doctors to hoodwink the gullible locals that Ranil is a sage, even sought after by the world's greatest academia. Wickremesinghe should not fool himself believing that people will buy that silly joke.”

However Mont Pelerin Ranil Wickramasinghe came back from his  stint in Masachusette Institute of Technology  named as a Robert E. Wilhelm Fellow. He immediately announced his intention to contest at the next Presidential election.

Now with a qualification from MIT, Pelerin Wickramasinghe  changed his tactics to oust the Rajapakse Regime , accusing Mahinda Rajapakse making his government a family affair and accused him for corruption and bribing the LTTE  Slowly this corruption theme against Mahinda Rajapakse and his family gained ground.  Every member of the UNP leadership made refernce to Mahinda Rajapakse’s corruption and enriching his family  and called  it a one family government.
Atlast CIA the Masachusette Institute of Technology andf Pelerin Ranil Wickramasinghe have all together found the solution for the hitherto unfound found solution for the regime change in Sri Lanka.  

They had learnt it from the World war two, “…Rumours are a perfect medium for unacknowledgeable clandestine propaganda and deception. They are incredibly hard to trace and near impossible to prove their origin; they can spread like the proverbial wildfire. There is no one in the world who does not relish passing on gossip or a titbit of "inside" information. Even in today's news saturated world the populations of the Western democracies, who believe they are more enlightened and less gullible than ever before, still fall for the most ridiculous and often abhorrent conspiracy theories. …..”

Stories of Mahinda Rajapakse’s corruption  were heard from every speech made by leaders of the Opposion,  news reports, and TV political debates.  No doubt after elimination of terrorism the President Rajapakse was able to get aid not in Millions but in billions, therefore that was easy to make people wonder whether with that amount of money flowing in could there be some truth in the rumours being spread by UNP and JVP about the corruption of the Rajapakse Government.  People knew that Ravi Karunanayake, Karu Jayasuriaya all were enriched by small scale corruptions, and Ranil was accused of the Batalanda Torture camps, but yet the rumours of corruption against the President Mahinda Rajapakse continued  even the media swallowed it.  This was, a psychological warfare.

President Mahinda Rajapaksa’s  victory over terrorism , bringing freedom and security, massive the infrastructure constructions, propelling the country to a middle income country status , became secondary to the rumours of corruption.  This was partly responsible for the people of middle range intelligence as well to think of a change when the elections came around.

President Mahinda Rajapakse or even  his brothers leave alone other family members were certainly not corrupt. Rajapakse family was  well known and they were a honest family. At the beginning the  senior  members of the family took to politics at the demand of the people.  Even Chamal Rajapakse was invited by Mrs.  Sirimavo Bandaranayake to take to politics.  But people like to smear dirt on people. And falsehood is readily accepted, casting doubt on  truth.

Though many accusations have been made against Rajapaksas and their contacts, for bribery and corruption nothing has been proved against any one of them. It is possible that FCID may “plant “ evidence to take at least one of the Rajapakse’s into custody. It would not be a surprise  when we think of the cruelty of the man behind the torture camps of Batalanda and constant reference to Rajapakse as the reason for all the failures of the Yahapalanaya Government.

But if Mahinda Rajapakse misused funds how could he have  left behind such a developed country and a financially sound heritage six years after elimination of terrorism.  People are not naive to believe these stories of corruption levelled against  the former President and those who were close to him.  People are happy with what  Rajapaksas contributed for their security , freedom and for improving the quality of their lives.

The Finance Minister Ravi Karunanayake who is not unknown for financial corruption with the sale of Sathosa to a private party when he was in another Government of Prime Minister Ranil Wickramasinghe. He had been accused for money laundering.  But the case against him was decided in a strange manner.  Please read on:
“ The case was postponed by High Court Judge Devika de Livera Tennakoon when Defence Counsel Reinzie Arsekualaratne informed the judge that Minister Karunanayake was unable to be present before the Courts yesterday as he was due to present the 2015 interim budget before the parliament. As there was no objection from the prosecution, the case was postponed to March 4. 

The Attorney General indicted Nexia Corporation, Linton Sirisoma and Karunanayake for allegedly facilitating money laundering in violation of Central bank regulations and the Exchange Control Act by depositing Rs. 390 million in a Standard Chartered bank account, which had been later used to purchase shares of the Union Bank. The transfer had been made by 
Sri Lankan American billionaire and hedge fund dealer Raj Rajarathnam. 

During the hearings it was alleged that Karunanayake was directly involved in the fraud and that he intervened to collect the funds once the money was deposited in Sri Lanka. 

Exchange Control is the function of the 
Central Bank. The Central Bank is governed by the Monetary Board. The Secretary/Finance (Treasury) is a member of the Monetary Board. The Minister of Finance is the Boss of the Secretary/Finance. How nice to have a person charged with Exchange Control crimes as Finance Minister a good governance activist told Colombo Telegraph. ”

“The Attorney General indicted Karunanayake for allegedly facilitating money laundering in violation of Central Bank regulations and the Exchange Control Act by depositing Rs.390 million in a private bank account, which had been later used to purchase shares of another bank.
While announcing the judgement judge stated that Attorney General Department is permitted to file another case on this matter.
According to Judge Irangani, the decision was reached upon taking into consideration the objections raised by the lawyers of the defence with regard to anomalies in the indictment produced against Minister Ravi Karunanayake. Justice Perera also said that the Attorney General has the capability to file a case once again and that an appeal could also be filled by the AG, if the need arises.
Minister of Finance Ravi Karunanayake spoke to the media following the court hearing, saying that the court case which was filed without any proper reason has proven futile. The minister also stated that while he is present at courts for the 27th time with his lawyers, the former defense secretary Gotabhaya Rajapaksa is running away.
Today’s judgement was also the final judgment handed down by justice Irangani Perera as she bid farewell to her service as a judge and retired following 31 years of service.

Interesting isn’t it ?  There is no smoke without fire. 

What ever the judgement the readers  could come to their own conclusion about the honesty of the Finance Miniter of the Yaha Palanaya Government.  If one had watched some of the TV Political programs such  as “ Derana 360”, “Satana” or “Salanakuna” in which Ravi Karunanayake appeared, one would have seen how he responded to questions and  what an unreliable character he is, evading issues asking counter questions, giving evasive ambiguous answers.

He has no compunction even if he is to  sell Sri Lanka to foreigners or divide  the island to allow the Tamils to have a separate State.  In Sri Lanka every one speaks of his Tamil origin , now of course even the Wikipedia has made him a full blooded Roman Catholic Sinhala. But he behaves like a Tamil. He laughed at the Sri Lanka Armed Forces when they were engaged risking their lives to eliminate terrorism to bring peace and security to Sri Lanka. Whenever  he  refers to the former President he just calls him Rajapakse disrespectfully. A Buddhist Sinhala would refer to him more respectfully. He is a friend of Raj Rajaratnam who financed terrorist  LTTE. 

The Governor of the Central Bank  Arjuna Mahendra who is a friend of his is also a friend of Raj Rajaratnam.  What part the Finance Minister played in the Bond scam is not known ? But no one speaks any more of the 2 billion loss  in the Central Bank bond Scam and Arjuna Mahendra  the friend of the Finance Minister who was directly involved  in it continues to be the Governor of the Central Bank.
 
appointing the governor of the Central Bank
But theYahapalanaya cabal  easily speaks of the corruption of Mahinda Rajapakse and how about speaking for a change of the corruption of Ravi Karunanayake and Ranil Wickramasinghe who may have profited from the 2 billion Rupees involved in the Bond scam. If they are honest they should  appoint another man as the  Governor of Central Bank.

Ravi Karunanayake’s Budget is a complete sell out of Sri Lanka to Foreigners.  Whether the land is sold outright or  given on 99 year lease amounts to the same.  Generations of Sri Lankans will lose the use of these lands. Who has not heard of United Fruit Companies which shaped  some of the countries  in Latin America where they implanted themselves, buying land on 99 year leases ?

“When the Banana Company arrives in Macondo, the jungle town in Gabriel García Márquez’s “One Hundred Years of Solitude,” it brings with it first modernity and then doom. “Endowed with means that had been reserved for Divine Providence in former times,” García Márquez writes, the company “changed the pattern of the rains, accelerated the cycle of harvests and moved the river from where it had always been.” It imported “dictatorial foreigners” and “hired assassins with machetes” to run the town; it unleashed a “wave of bullets” on striking workers in the plaza. When the Banana Company leaves, Macondo is “in ruins.”

Sri Lanka is courting danger in leasing out  large land areas of 5000 acres for foreigners on 99 year leases.  The investors could completely change the culture and the minds of the people and bring in complete chaos into our country.

The government encourages handing over public enterprises as well to private companies.  They get loans from the West on conditions laid by the donor which would introduce more poverty. Sri Lanka should not be developed according to other countries. UNP cannot make Sri Lanka a Singapore or a Malaysia.  The Yahapalanaya has begun to change Sri Lanka into a rich foreigners play ground as Cuba was under Batista.  

Aid from the West, IMF or World Bank come with conditions  against welfare for the poor. Under these conditions of the IMF and the World Bank Yahapalanaya will hand over hospitals, schools, water, etc. to private companies.  It would be a treachery against  the people of Sri Lanka  for any Parliamentarian to  vote in favour of this Budget.

This Budget is capitalist flavoured. The ordinary people of the country will be  made dependent on the rich.  The government servants will have less or no pensions as  government will have no sufficient income as the countries finances will be controlled by foreign companies, which will be the owners of land, public  establishments, institutions. Welfare facilities to the people will be decided by the foreign companies.

The Budget proposal of stopping pension rights and introducing a contributory pension system seems to be  dictated by the Western donor states. Stopping the distribution of clothes to school  children , and providing fertilisers to farmers substituting it for voucher or  a cash allowance, may help Western investors to provide clothes and manure at their price to farmers and school children.

If Mahinda Rajapaksa was the President today the country would have continued with development projects. There would have been a sound economic development. Only problem would have come from the reactionary West and America passing resolutions in Geneva threatening to take the Armed Forces to courts for war crimes. The President Mahinda Rajapakse would have been able to keep the TNA in its place and strengthened the Armed Forces and provided more security to the country. The Colombo Port city would have progressed. The Mahaseya in Anuradhapura  would have risen up to a respectable height. There would have been rich harvests.  Mattala Air port may have begun to function with more planes landing in it. The people would have been happy. Mahinda Rajapakse may have reduced prices of consumer articles…….

Yahapalanaya has made all that only a dream, the future of Sri Lanka is bleak…..as one would have never expected a year before.

The following members of the SLFP, if they have any self respect, and a modicum of patriotism should not vote for the Budget of Ravi Karunanayake and give up their Ministerial, Deputy Ministerial posts.  It would otherwise be sacrificing the interest of the country to fulfil personal interest.
