GLP Ayya crying over TNA visit to the US - Tamil issue is internationalised beyond Sinhalayas control
Wednesday, 2 November 2011 - 2:57 PM SL Time
|
The government yesterday insisted that Tamil National Alliance (TNA) should first discuss issues with the government instead of making representations to foreign countries. According to External Affairs Minister Prof G L Peiris, a solution can only be reached within the country and the TNA should first discuss issues with the government rather than making representations to foreign countries on internal matters.
He said that discussions with foreign countries would not help solve problems. It should directly discuss with the government, he added. The External Affairs Minister said that the report of the Lessons Learnt and Reconciliation Commission (LLRC) to look into the cause of the conflict, its effects on the people and reconciliation will be made public after it was handed over to the President.

(November 02, Colombo, Sri Lanka Guardian) A despot sees himself not as the First Citizen in a country of peers but as the Patriarch of an infantile-nation. He thereby arrogates unto himself the triple-roles of traditional-fatherhood, becoming, at least in his self-besotted eyes, the wise-guide, the caring-provider and the dauntless-protector of his people.
In Sri Lanka`s one-family state, these triple despotic-roles have been appropriated by the Rajapaksa-troika: Mahinda Rajapaksa the sage-guide Basil Rajapaksa the bountiful-provider and Gotabhaya Rajapaksa the vigilant-guardian.

Imran Khan Predicts Revolution in Pakistan - Only 2% pay Taxes in the country - Highly Corrupt President Zardari Ex Jailbird friend of the Sinhalayas:)))))

At the height of his cricket glory days, Imran Khan would visualise winning standing on the podium, cup held aloft and propelling Pakistan to victory. Last weekend, standing before a sea of supporters in Lahore, he had a similar epiphany about his political career.
`As I stood there, watching them, I knew the moment had come,` Khan, who is the leader of the Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insafr party, said. `Now nothing can stop us. This is a revolution, a tsunami. We will not just win the next elections we will sweep them.`

C $ News with Further Evidence of Torture in Lanka - War Not Over Yet?
Tuesday, 8 November 2011 - 10:07 AM SL Time
|
The UN has already found that evidence of the killing of up to 40,000 civilians amid allegations of serious human rights abuses amounted to `credible allegations` that war crimes had been committed during the last days of the civil war in 2009.
Now ahead of a United Nations meeting tomorrow, human rights groups are calling for an urgent investigation into the allegations that human rights abuses are still rife in Sri Lanka.
President Mahinda Rajapaksa`s government dismisses all that as `preposterous`. He has embarked on a charm offensive to help repair his island nation`s tarnished reputation.

One could surmise that the masses are pushed towards unlawful action in the belief that the law does not take its due course. This has spread from setting fire to a bus after a fatal accident to attacking and setting fire to police stations. The attack on Angulana Police Station after a double murder and setting fire to Dompe Police station all point to the same trend. We could add several lives lost due to `grease devil` incidents as well. The most recent incident was the destruction of the property of the suspects involved in the killing of a doctor in the Karandeniya area. The killing had taken place a month ago.

How to Handle the HANDLES and the Monkeys Ha Ha Ha Ha

`The other day I made a comment on someone`s blog and I noticed I was the only one that put my online pseudonym into the name field,` MetaFilter founder Matt Haughey once wrote of the changing nature of online self-identification. Haughey had found himself the lone alias in a field full of real-life, first-and-last-named commenters. `This is one of those moments when you notice you`re becoming a dinosaur,` he wrote.
That was 2003. Since then, the trend toward aligning our online and offline personas has only accelerated. Today, humans stake online claims to their real-life names before they can even form words or survive outside the womb.
