Childish propaganda

Monday, 25 May 2009 - 7:51 PM SL Time

The dailymail.co.uk, has published a pictorial account of war zone after its reporter had a trip over the area with Ban-Ki-Moon.
They are extensively reporting about the war damage and depict the area as the disaster zone, but have forgotten, it`s a extra-ordinary temporary living area, which became a tent city, after LTTE forcing people to settle there.

I post one of the photos they publish to post here. The level these western journalists understand our local situation shows by the caption of the photo. They described the lorry as a bus..! Also, though they talk about the white flag of on the lorry, deliberately of due to negligence, no mention about the LTTE green sand-bag bunker just next to the lorry.

The world is always looking at our problems through the western glasses. These people have no ground experiences to explain what`s going on. Even Banki-moon said, he has been so many places in the world, but Manki-Farm is the most appealing places he came across.
That statement shows the capacity of this UN head for that position.
He must compare the camp life with the death and fear those people faced all these months and, not the facilities they have there. Facilities, anyone can offer. But the security only came through the blood of SLA.

In SL IDP camps, almost no death is reported (as I was in news), due to unexplained reasons or starvation and poor health. Bank-moon must visit drought and war affected Saharan regions to see how people suffer there. Or, AIDS victims in Lesotho and SF remote areas. Or, next to his own country, how North Koreans are starving in winter.
Sri Lanka IDP camps must have more facilities, and GOSL is doing a lot to make the situation better. Even Akashi said the camps were relatively good.

Sri Lanka is facing a tough challenge from this west propaganda. Its Sri Lankan`s responsibility to counter that, at any peaceful mean that each of us can access (like writing in these forum).

LTTE took them as human shield, but Sinhala barbarians killed them all.

There is no propaganda or lies, its the entire truth. Why you guys are preventing other to visit the area ?

Tamil diaspora should concentrate on helping IDPs and bringing justice for the thousands of people killed by the barbarians who are still living.

No, Kural, nearly all of them IC think. When, LTTE force people to settle like that, they deliberately formed a deadly environment for them. Anyway, finally, people are safe now in camps.

If the Tamil diaspora is really caring for IDPs, they should become foster parents to Tamil little kids, those who became fatherless by the war.

SS:

If you check carefully, many Media organizations have LTTE - supporters.

Anita Pratap of CNN has acknowledged that she is a VELU-lover.
IT may be simply because of money flowing into their accounts. then she has worked for TIMES ON LINE which is pro-LTTE.

BBC has a several people who are Tamils.

SUNDAYTIMES (UK) says he frantically called UN, NOrway and every where else to set up a Cease FIRE.

/That is why GOSL has so many problems. All the media is working for LTTE.

I THINK BAN-KI MOON WAS ASKED DIRECTED QUESTIONS TO GET THAT response.

Over last 3 decades LTTE built only bunkers and earth bunts.
Not sure these reporters expected Manhatten in wanni.

Sri Lanka is a case study of the power struggle between Western and Eastern countries

Eastern media and their govts have been supportive of SL, while Western media and their govts have tried their best to slander the victory.

In the larger picture, western influence is waning in this part of the world. Their response to SL issue is merely to ascertain their steadily deteriorating influence and show to the world (and indeed to themselves) they are still in command! Western govts understand that if a small country like SL can show them the finger, then it will become an unprecedented embarrassment to them

Few years back, SL would've never dared to have given such a strong retort to western countries. Nowadays, nobody cares

Sinthaka,

The important point is SL need loans from those western countries.
But western countries only give to human right respecting countries.

Look the bigger picture, SL has been screwed up.. You can only beg Iran, Pakis and China now.

Former US Blake has been clear enough to say that SL violated human rights and has done war crimes..

Well I think SL is in a very good position to be isolated.

Do you know who gives loans to these western countries? Ask China! If China refuses to lend the US any more money, they're finished!

LOL! We don't give a flying you-know-what if your bankrupt white masters isolate us. We're right next to India and China, the rising world powers and home to more than a third of humanity! Your white masters of the west will soon fall from their mighty pedestals thanks to their own folly. They're already paling into insignificance as we speak! A new world order is being born, one where the white man does not call the shots.

And it's about time too.
