Pol Sambol said...
It reflects sadly on the post war mentality of MR. Since May19th he morphed into some greedy and arrogant man thinking in terms of his own success –he forgot about the country.
---------
I don't really understand this. What greedy deeds exactly did he do during this period? If you mean the "maharajaneni" song repeatedly being telecast, then I don't buy that. How is that an indication of forgetting the country?
Greedy in terms of telling the JHU to get lost, forcing that fool Anarkali on Galle, the "black magic" of the SPC. Lots of scum gathered under him and he did nothing about it, in fact he liked the new support from people who never gave a damn for the country or ounce of support for him before.
He was so sure of election success he lost sight of the ground level which had been his biggest success in grabbing votes, due to his personal appeal to those in the village. Many UNPers at the grass roots backed him because unlike previous regimes which hunt to the ends of the earth their opponents, MR did not. It made the grass roots fluid and UNPers started backing him. Then came the SPC where SLFP goons attacked UNPers. UNPers who had up to that point been either voting for him or not voting at all got angry and started voting UNP out of spite.
He got cocky and so sure of electoral success being guaranteed he allowed any crap to happen.
Him being greedy is trying to "cash" in on the post-war success to secure 2/3rds. He took votes he already had for granting while trying to accumulate extra votes by accommodating scum who jumped onto his popular band wagon and then forced them onto the people (of the SPC).
Reason he called for a PE was because of this, to cash in on the mass support he had, he did not see nor calculate the Gonseka initiative.
His call for the PE out of his own arrogance (which rose after the war but has thankfully died off after the Gonseka initiative) has given a massive booster shot and opening to all our enemies. Just look what is happening. WE DID NOT NEED A PE. MR could have spent time developing the country, increasing peoples wages (of rural folks through better economy+development schemes being completed) then he would have had MORE VOTES. Mangalas/Gonsekas propaganda directed at the rural folks (that MR was stealing money and keeping them poor on purpose) would then not have been as successful.
Don't you see it was SHORT SIGHTED. He did not think long term.
A GE would have been better choice. His own party told him to go for that first, since even if the results were not good, he would still be President for 2 more years. But he was again ARROGANT and short sighted. That is the bloody problem. This mess would not have happened had he not got bloated up after the war and stayed on the ground level has he had done for the last 4 years.

BreatheSL,
MR has made mistakes which enemies of the country have seized on. The mistakes maybe small but their impact is huge especially when you take into account the vile propaganda machinations of Mangala/Ranil/Kalu-suddhas/West/Tamils and the simplicity and at times utter stupidity of Sinhala people.
I am pointing out MRs mistakes and the fact he has made them for his own betterment. We need to point them out so they can be addressed, not brush them under the carpet in fear of giving fuel to the enemy, ignoring them is giving fuel to the enemy.
January 18, 2010 12:29 PM
Would also like to add the post by Sujeewa Kokawala which shows MRs other mistakes:

Re: Why do ppl line up with the enemies of nation??
[[Why are Tamils in Canada backing Gonseka?
Why are Tamils in Britain backing Gonseka?
Why are Norway/EU/UK/US backing Gonseka?
Why are South Indians backing Gonseka?
Why are TNA, Mano mutt and the lot backing Gonseka?
That alone is enough proof NOT to support him. When i put these forward to hardcore Gonseka/UNP/JVP supporters i got no answer.]]
Let me aggressively assume that you [Pol Sambol] do not live in SL, and give you a pic about mentality here.
- When we won the war we held a mega celebration. I was outrageous. What I expected was a slow [resilient] and strong celebration, but idiots danced on roads with bottle wrapped in national flag. This was even before the funerals of war heroes of WMV was held. My military contacts were outrageous, rightly. From then on it was on wrong foot.
- MR held dozens of victory celebrations, and in each it was clear that his intention is to tell the world that it was his leadership. It was surely known and accepted fact. And needed not to tell. Repeating it would only tarnish the claim, making a pic of a greedy politician of him.
- ITN/LakeHouse/Rupavahini/SLBC kept on singing praises. Each repeating the same tone for... well more than 6 months now.
- Every enemy of MR was regarded as an enemy of nation. And a supporter of tigers.
- Every corruption/nepotism/mismanagement charge was avoided by using war victory, and the threat of tigers raising head. It was said more than possible. Some such statements sounded funny in the eye of viewer.
- Everywrhere MR is challenged the song was "to save nation from tigers pls get lined up with MR". This was rhetorically used, no facts given.
- Even during PC elections, MR clan asked vote them "as they defeated terror" and "to avoid tiger raising head". Instead it shud have been "for the X & Y plans to develop region" since PC context is different and irrelevant for war.
- Even Maha Rajaneni which is a lovely and deserving song, was sung too much that we all hate hearing it now.
- And right now followring terms hold no validity anymore as they were overused.
"XXX [enemy of MR] is a tiger supporter"
"There is a western conspiracy to oust MR"
"Tigers are raising their head, so support MR"
"NNN got money from tigers"
- Sadly a pathetic situ has come that each of above terms may be true after all, but by now, ppl are no longer believing them, especially if they are told over ITN or Hudda or Lake House etc.
- Even now the MR campaign is singing the same song, and it fails to pass through many neurons in ppl's head.
- Us who have firsthand access to see the cyber prep of pussycats cannot spread it w/o being branded as "MR ta kade yanawra". It is that bad.
Note that ppl in above post are ppl of break away SF clan. And in this context they're all that matters
There is no better way to commit political suicide. I still hope that he will be saved by at least a whisker [still the situ is not that bad, but deteriorating].

What a brilliant job by NFF! It gave the Gonseka initiative a rude shock. Now look at this, haha:
Thaksin funding Govt. campaign - JVP
January 19, 2010 02:13 pm
The JVP today alleged that they had documented proof that the ousted Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra had visited Sri Lanka on December 12, 2009 and claimed that he is funding election campaigning.
JVP leader Somawansa Amerasinghe speaking to reporters today said that Thaksin had arrived in the country in a private plane and that he had used the VIP lounge. Somawansa questioned as to how a person whose diplomatic visa was cancelled used the VIP lounge. He further said that there was credible suspicion that the now captive KP alias Kumaran Pathmanathan and Thaksin’s funds were being used by the government for election campaigning.
http://www.adaderana.lk/news.php?nid=6907
Comical stuff from the JVP, a man who has been jetting off to the West for holiday time- who paid for those excursions?
Moshe one of your dreams comes true!

Patriots: I have prepared a brief memo [in two posts] that attempts to counter the main opposition arguments. Can we improve this and forward it through email? This is least we could do to change the mindsets of floating voters. Feel free to add/delete/modify wordings.
---------------
Consider these facts before you vote : (Mahinda Rajapaksha - MR Sarath Fonseka - SF)
1. Who should get credit for the Victory?
Who ordered the last phase of Ealam War IV - MR on 6th August 2006 [SF was recovering from the suicide attack]
From 2006, people start joining armed forces because the government gave a clear indication where they want to go and the government gave a new meaning to "life as a soldier" - honourable job. Primary reason for attracting youth.
SF & Army should get a major share of the victory. But could have they done it without -
Navy - If the KKS - Trinco link was not secured [3000 troops were transported at a time], could we have dreamt of victory?
Airforce - It is the Airforce that gave the soldiers morale to move forward as they knew air cover is there. When there was no "Air cover" - look at the consequences - Muhamalai
Could the army have achieved these wonders without the information obtained through UAVs?
So it was impossible to achieve this victory without the support of Navy and Airforce - But to their credit both Navy and Airforce chief are humbe persons who do not boast too much.
Army sacrificed the most - obviously - take any War anywhere in the world - IT IS the army that suffers most.
2. Who are with SF now ? UNP + Muslim Congress + TNA + Mano Ganeshan - All of them tried their best to give life to LTTE but failed.
Yes. JVP is with SF. Looking back at the history of JVP : Does JVP really want a "Developed Sri Lanka". NO!!!!! Their survival depends on an undeveloped and unstable Sri Lanka.
ALL THESE people with SF now do not want to see country-wide development. UNP is only concerned about Western and Central Provinces. After Mahaveli and Gam-Udawa there are not many projects one can point to. Lalith Athulathmudali developed Colombo Port. That time too there were corruption allegations all around.
Corruption is generally associated with development projects. If there are NO projects, I do not think corruption allegations would be at this level.
3. Let's look at the main issues used by opposition:
a) Corruption - Rs. 400 billion figure is thrown around as the waste resulted from corruption which could have been used for more productive purposes - to bring down the cost of living
How has this figure come about ? Adding total investment of number of mega projects + Rs. 230 billion for Hediging.
If this is saved, then there is NO Hambantota, NO Norochchali, NO Kerawalapitiya, NO fly overs, NO Road Development ... List continues.
Rs. 10 billion Sri Lankan loss has also been included as part of this corruption. Today I heard that Japan Airline suffered a loss of more than 2 billion US$ (i.e Rs. 230 billion rupees) for year 2009.
Contd.
b) No Development
I am amzed by this claim of opposition.
What do we call these ? Hambantota Port, Norochchali Coal Power Plant (900 MW in 3 stages), Kerawalapitiya Combined Cycle Power Plant, Upper Kothmale Hydro Power Plant, Almost all "A" grade roads - Almost all major roads in Southern, Eastern, Sabaragamuwa provinces, many roads in Central and North Central Provinces, Fly overs in Colombo, speeding up the construction of Gampaha, Orugodawatta, Pannipitiya Fly overs, Oluvil and Colombo South Harbour projects
Most, if not all, of these projects have been in the drawing boards for a long time. Successive governments simply ignored these - They did not have the vision nor desire to start these projects. To the credit of this government, MR started these projects. MR's manifesto is built around around these projects - To be a Shipping Hub etc.
Many are medium to long term projects - They do not bring short term benefits. But the development of roads does bring many benefits.
c) Decline in some key sectors - Education, Agriculture and Health - Are there facts to prove this allegation?
Someone needs to fill this as well - From what I see - there has been quite a bit of work done to improve the facilities in Schools, introduce ICT to schools (ICT literacy has gone up to 25% from 4%) .
Health - Again some one needs to fill - If you visit key government hospitals, infrastructure has improved a lot. New Buildings and equipments have come. Any doctors out there?
Agriculture - I do see a boom in Agriculture. Needs input here.
Rice shortage, examination paper issue, vaccine issue are specific issues - They do not represent the overall situation of each sector. But the opposition seem to harp on these issues a lot and has created a myth that these sectors indeed are ailing.
d) Nepotism
[Some one needs to fill this] - Everyone knows what Gotabhaya has done. I have heard that Basil also has done a tremendous job in East and now in North as well.
There is a family tree email in circulation. Gamini Wickramasinghe - BoC chairman is the one who owns Informatics - a capable person. What BoC has achieved under his leadership - I am not too sure.
Finally, before you vote think about this as well:
- Do you want to support a person with a clear vision for a developed Sri Lanka
or
- Do you want to support a person who only talk about "good governance" - No corruption and most importantly NO development plans for the country ?
Look at SF Promises
- He tells Business Community that he will reduce their tax burdens (Check 18th Sunday Times - Business Times]
- He tells masses that he will reduce their tax burdens
- He promises A/L students Rs. 2000 a month, Rs. 3000 per month for unemployed graduates
- He tells masses that he will develop the country without burdening them with taxes
All above he plans to do with Rs. 400 billion saved from eliminating corruption!!!!!
Think before you vote

Desperation in Fonseka camp
Now they are faking polls, there is no such company as poll survey in Sri Lanka.
Here is the email I got
pollsurvey@live.com
In a recent Independent Poll concluded by 'Poll Survey' in Sri Lanka, it was noted that Sarath Fonseka had secured a decisive lead of aprox. 5 % over Mahinda Rajapaksa going into the last week of campaigning.
While two weeks ago it was almost a tie between the two main rivals, the new poll shows a clear lead emerging for the common opposition candidate.
A sample of 59,312 people were polled. A proportionate count was taken from each district based on the last known population in each area. Out of which Sarath Fonseka polled 52.05 % while Mahinda Rajapaksa polled 46.82 %. Out of the balance, 0.95 % was for the other candidates and 0.18 % were undecided at this stage. (There is only a margin of error of +/- 0.75 %).
Fonseka showed a strong base in most urban and suburban areas while was slightly behind in the rural areas. Rajapaksa had a considerable lead only in his home district. With respect to race, the Singhalese were roughly even for both candidates, while Fonseka clearly had a strong showing amongst ethnic Tamils and Muslims.
Based on feedback from the survey, those who voted for Fonseka did so based on his strong will and leadership as a General in the war and for his promise of good governance and to eradicate corruption and create communal harmony. Those who voted for Rajapaksa did so because of his political role in the war, party affiliation and due to been content with the status quo. Fonseka did well with males and females between 21 and 55 while Rajapaksa did well with males and females over 55.
This poll was independently done and was not paid for by any party, candidate or political institution. This survey was privately funded.

2. gonseka's first victim - danawathie - has been brought to colombo and kept in a safe place.
apparently GR has stopped her from appearing in TV saying that it will give the impression that army guys habitually screw domestic aides in camps. BS!
-------
Moshe we should do this after the election, so as to stop Gonseka from leaving, gives a good reason to arrest him.
Moshe Dyan said...
su and breathsl,
the more we cover up and give partial details the more damaging it is.
--------------------
No, I don't say we should cover it up. Not at all. But using her to tell people that Fonseka raped her on TV is hardly the thing to do.
/Yet the converts still worry about the two unproven allegations.
1. corruption
2. Nepotism/
None of the accusations against MR was proved. Both 1 and 2 can be attacked by HICORP.

Excellent site.
/All above he plans to do with Rs. 400 billion saved from eliminating corruption!!!!!/
All above he promised to do foor how long? 1 month 1 year or forever? (OK lets assume MR corruption is 400mn) Because 400mn he save from corruption if from 1 year I think. Now can we save 400mn every year by not doing corruption? My economics knowledge is bad but I don't understand this.
As I understand to increase government spending you need to use either government savings or increase government revenue. SLG has no big savings. In fact GSL is paying loan+interest. So to increase revenue GSL should increase tax, increase borrowing or generate money via production. All these ways a government should do continuously as long as they need to match spending. I just don't understand how not doing corruption generate money as that money is always there and how one time stop corruption generate money all the time.
BTW, multipolar is doing great job.

Sounds like day dreaming with that part.
And only the die-ass-pora spells Sinhalese with the g.
This is an effort to offset the recent polls done by Universities, Nexus Research Group and the Indian Group.
Pol Sambol/Ananda;
Re: My list of mistakes that cost MR.
I did not mean that they were deliberately done. Nor did I say that MR was involved in them all.
Most actions were fair, especially considering the humane-ness of MR.
But they are the reasons why many floating voters moved to SF camp. Right or wrong, those actions cost MR votes.
And that is what I wanted to say.
Re: Pol's interpretation of Greedy MR
I'd use the word arrogant for MR after May 19. Again it may not be him in person, but his administration was too arrogant.
Plus, MR found many JPB kinda ppl's acquaintance and was hanging around with them more often. Ignored were Weerawansas and Ranawakas.
Apart from these the rest are mere allegations. There are corruption allegations and nepotism allegations. I do not take either case serious, not because I believe that they're untrue, but because, in SL standards. Prev leaders did worse.
At least MR did some development, like never before.
Ninja;
[[/Yet the converts still worry about the two unproven allegations.

My postings in recent few days are purely targeting topic "how to win back lost floating votes". Note that the lost voters BELIEVE that accusations are true. There are 90% certain cases of misconduct here and there [hedging deal, Ashantha's relationship, Air Lanka nepotism, Basil being the decider of all ministers etc]. SF team use one of them and prove [idiotically] that rest is also true. Ppl broke awray falling to that lie. So telling them to prove the accusations won't bring back their votes.
HICORP cud have, unless it was published via ITN/Pasubima, Hudda and WW. The gang that broke away hate these channels/ppl, and they are one reason to make the move. So naturally they are not trusted.
HICORP shud have been silently brought out as a court case, and let all media report it. They don't have to conclude. The "We reprt you decide" model it shud be. Right now the govt media is like "We decide - you better accept".
Most breakaway voters say that HICORP is a lie constructed by govt media. And there is no way we can prove w/o court cases etc.
Moshe was right on this regard.
Desha,
Though I can't remember any of my statistics lessons it seems for a sample of size 59,312 the given error ratio (+/- 0.75 %) is relatively pretty low. It should be around 4-5% I guess.
Can anyone with statistics knowledge help me to recall my old lessons on Sampling Theory?
rasika,
what great news!
thanks for sharing.

From LandLikeNoOther/VoiceInColombo Blog:
So You Have Decided to Vote Sarath Fonseka? Read This To the End, and then Vote!
So you have decided to vote Sarath Fonseka, haven’t you? It’s all right. I understand. I am not here to sling mud at Sarath Fonseka. I will never ask or beg you to vote Mahinda. You don’t have to. I just want you to read this to the end. I respect Sarath Fonseka, as much as you do. In fact I personally want to vote him, but I can’t. I’ll tell you why. Please read till the end. You have decided to vote Sarath Fonseka for one of these three reasons
1) You are voting Sarath Fonseka simply because your parents keep voting UNP for last 50 years, and you are also inherently a UNP supporter.
2) Or, you are voting Sarath Fonseka because you believe in JVP politics, and your leader Somawansa Amarasinghe wants you to vote Sarath Fonseka this time.
3) If not for these two reasons, you are voting Sarath Fonseka simply because you personally feels that’s the right thing to do. You are not influenced by either the UNP or the JVP
For what ever the reason you are voting Sarath Fonseka, you have already created mental justifications for your decision. It’s the human nature. Once you make a decision, you tend to rationalize your decision. Let me guess some of your rationalizations and ask you few questions back. You have to give answers to your own self, for these questions.
1. Sarath Fonseka was the true leader of our war victory against LTTE. He would have done it even without Mahinda as the president.
Can he? Is SF the sole contributor to the war victory? For sure, Mahinda wasn’t the “sole contributor”. But, Mahinda was the “leader” who managed all aspects of this war; not just a one frontier. The military war in the air (with Roshan Gunathilake), military war in the sea (with Karannagoda) and the military war on land (with Fonseka). How about the political war? Keeping the pressure put by opposition and international community away from the military leaders? Did Sarath Fonseka played any role in these other aspects, than the military war on the ground? Ask from your own common sense. Don’t let your political biasness to fool you.
2. Ok, war victory was just a one thing which Mahinda did right. Did he do anything else for this country? Just take a look at these pictures, and ask from your own common sense whether these were not important to you. Don’t let your political biasness to fool you. Simply question your common sense.
3. Mahinda didn’t do anything for the business sector. Ok, if you believe in this as a reason for voting SF, tell me what you are expecting SF to do good for the business community? What guarantee you have? Remember his economic policy is going to be influenced both by UNP and JVP. Can you expect any “positive sum” in a combination of JVP and UNP economic policies? Isn’t ending the war itself is a good thing done for the business community? Isn’t building the roads a good thing for business?
4. Mahinda taxed the country a lot. Without taxing a country, how can you provide free education, free healthcare, more super highways, more flyovers, ending a 30 year old war? Are you expecting under SF he will remove all these taxes? Then how can he continue to provide us free education, free healthcare, and continue the development projects?
Lord Buddha said, “those who always find faults with others on minor concerns, despite the larger achievements they have made; will always keep on burning inside by their own flames of selfishness”. Stop being selfish. Open your mind. Put away your political jealousy. Think about the truth standing right in front of your eyes. The truth is, Mahinda did a great deal of good to this country which JR, Premadasa or Chandrika failed to do. Do you want to turn this country back by handing it over to a person who doesn’t even know how to speak to another human being? A person who get aggravated so quickly?
Tell me…. Are you ready to vote for a man who is spreading hatred on every stage that he speaks? Are you ready to vote for a person who has already threatening to get revenge the people talking against him? If you are the type of “100% media freedom”; are you ready to vote for a man who threatens the press people to resign from their jobs, even before he get elected as president? Can you expect press freedom from such a man?
I respect SF as a military commander. But I don’t want this country to be ruled by an angry totalitarian dictator, who get aggravated easily with a small provocation. I don’t want to see this country to be ruled by a person who doesn’t know the meaning of the word “patience”, “forgiveness”. I don’t want to see this country be ruled by a person who’s surrounded by people who are willing to kill people, even before their leader gets appointed as president (Just imagine the fate of MR supporters on 27th, if SF gets elected).
I know that you hate Mahinda. I don’t want you to love him. Keep hating him. But don’t cut your nose simply because you hate your face!
If you still want to vote Sarath Fonseka and see this country get ruined, please go ahead and vote him! But if you have a slightest of common sense left with you, and if you are not looking at the world with political colored glasses; see the danger ahead of us. Don't just vote Sarath Fonseka, because that you hate Mahinda. This is not about hating Mahinda. This about the future of this country. Don't play with it. DON’T VOTE SARATH FONSEKA FOR THE SAKE OF THIS COUNTRY!
Just cancel your vote, if you don't like Mahinda!
If you see the danger I am showing you; please pass this message to all people whom you think that care. Simply copy and paste this to an email and send to your contacts. Republish this on forums. Print this and spread! What ever that you can do to open the eyes of politically blinded people of this country...

Yes there is. Indeed Bandula Wijeweera and Rohana Baddage used to sing a changed version of that in the stage. If I were able to find the link I'll send it to you.

I personally think it did. I observed the next day a number of FB contacts joining MR facebook groups.
This same pattern was observed on days just after the 'white flags' interview happened.
Here we go. However I found this on pro-SF blog just ridicule the two.

Sorry to disappoint you. But a blatant liar is fearless.
They will say it is another cheap propaganda by govt. They will create a similar site with corruption numbers [which they creatively write].
Logic and reason have no place with faith and lying. This campaign is full of lies. Even RW did not lie this much in 2005. He was truthful about his plan to abolish the ban on pussycats etc.

[[Didn't the "Rathu Ira" Program on Swarnavahini have an effect on Gonseka in proving the HiCorp story as real?]]
There must be additions to MR's F/B groups, but how can you say they were SF converts?
SF converts that I know think taht it was WRONG for govt side to send two. They reason it that way.
I think WW shud have decided to stay alone as even alone he cud have won. I think Dayasiri pre-planned to take up some defect and spoil the debate. By making no debate there, it is left for anyone's imagination.
Most of you guys still think of very well reasoning, very well read and educated ppl who use extreme logic, patriotism and knowledge to vote. This is not the case of majority of voters in SL.

[[Didn't the "Rathu Ira" Program on Swarnavahini have an effect on Gonseka in proving the HiCorp story as real?]]
There must be additions to MR's F/B groups, but how can you say they were SF converts?
------------------------------
No no that is not what I meant at all. My observation is that those were floating voters.
See, the very next day after these 2 separate incidents (white flags, hicorp debate) there was a noticeable number who suddenly joined MR group among my FB contacts. This was noticeable as opposed to not seeing any joining for a long time among my contacts. Those who wanted to join, did so at the very beginning by choice.
Now what were those ppl? They may have been undecided voters, or even may have been ones slightly beginning to see what Fonseka is. Either way, something made them join MR groups just after these 2 incidents.
They most definitely weren't Gonseka supporters. I doubt that they would EVER see light.

A subtle campaign wud have got them into MR's fold. Or wud not have lost them at the first place.
And having Rajapakses all over the place and leaving it publicly visible, is another reason for loosing them.
Leaving the campaign with public irritations like Mervyn and Hudda is another. Letting the bootlickers deteriorate govt media such as ITN is another.
Compare SF campaign with MR's. See how controlled they talk now. The way they present [all the evil plots] is very disciplined and assuring. Only exception is SF, who once in a while mess up. MR camp is barking like dogs. Only sense is coming from MR.
We, at least me, do not give a flying f**k to campaigns. My vote was preset as SF chose my enemies. But all SL is not like me. Campaign is critical and it did not work any good for MR.
Chaps, the way I look at the choice on the 26th is simple. So it should be for any real patriot. You either vote for a true son of the soil ('Bhumi Puthraya') or for the elephant-tiger pact ('Ali-Koti Samagama').

JRJ’s grandson supports President Rajapaksa
by W.D.Vithana, Delgoda Cor.
Former President J. R. Jayawardene’s grandson Pradeep Jayewardene yesterday pledged his support to President Mahinda Rajapaksa at the forthcoming Presidential election.
Addressing a press conference at his ward Place residence yesterday (10) Jayewardene said that he strongly felt that only Rajapaksa could maintain the peace achieved after crushing LTTE terrorism which was a curse for nearly thirty years hampering all development work that brought misery to all sections of the people of this country.
"I had been supporting President Rajapaksa right from the time he launched an assault on the LTTE and I was confident from the very start that he would defeat terrorism and usher in peace in this country", Pradeep jayewardene said.
Former Gampaha Deputy Mayor Gamini Senarath and Patha Hewaheta Pradeshya Sabha member D. M. Dipal A. S. Gunatilleke were associated with Jayawardene at the conference.

Look at this bastard:
Govt. has created a ‘Mugabesque’ situation
- Mangala Samaraweera
I saw a kind of an unusual trend towards a kind of Nazi national-socialism developing in Sri Lanka - a very fascist outlook especially among the educated Sinhalese middle class of this country. The war unleashed a latent racism in many Sinhalese. Had we allowed that trend to go on, that would have been very dangerous for the future of the country. At that stage, I felt that the only way we could break this move towards extremism, was to put forward an icon of the very forces which the new trend has unleashed.

rasika,
thanks mate.
su,
good work there in lankaweb.
short & sweet, to the point.
guys,
we have bring out dhanawathie NOW!
gonz clan instructed by mongal's 1999 wisdom of sympathy is planning another sympathy operation. some UNPers will shoot at gonseka's motorcade without harming him of course! then gonseka will don some red paint and cut himself (a small price to pay).
we have to bring dhanawathi to the public BEFORE this. no point doing so after.
there is another advantage. at the speech she will CURSE gonz. so ppl will think when the mongal operation takes place, gonz suffered due to the curse.
a double whammy on gonz.
bring her on!!!
the same thing happened to shitler. few of his girlfriends went mad, some commited suicide. but shitler and the SS and other BS in shitler's army kept them secret then saying its against the popularity of the army.
had they given those incidents proper popularity in time, shitler would never have been able to show a sense of moral rightessnous.
we have our SHITLER FUEROR!!!! (SF)
Moshe the possibility of such a false flag operation by Gonseka is very possible, so i agree pre-empting this is important, you're idea is just risky. Government has to do it properly.
The women in question should appear in private media. State media should not be the one to break the news for sake of credibility. (Arrange it with Swarnavahini or Ada Derana).
Then give interviews to say Divina/Island etc.
Then have state media report it afterwards.
At the same time Government must push in the courts the HiCorp story.
If both are already in the public domain (thus appearing credible for public consumption) we can
A)Prevent Gonseka from leaving the country based on these charges
B)Get him to spill the beans on other things (TNA deal, money from Norway etc) and grab Mangala this also get him to cough up more details of the plot against the nation.
C) Jail them both, any sympathy for them would then die off.
It all has to appear apolitical, an MR should not be anywhere near the seen. All the news should come from the courts and go through private media first.

No.
Now they are being denied their right to support the candidate of their choice on their free time.
This is blatant mis-use of office and yet another slap in the face of "democracy".
It is contemptuous acts like this that bring Sri Lankan politics into such ill-repute... and highlight just how morally bankrupt MR and his government are.
Clearly, MR has shown again how he is willing to cheat, bend and break the laws as it suits him... and you wonder why so many Sri Lankans are looking at SF as a realistic alternative?

Eelam War by other means
Both the government and the Fonseka camps are claiming the credit for winning the war. But, President Mahinda Rajapaksa and Sarath Fonseka are using bullet proof cubicles when they address election rallies in some parts of the country. Although they are going places on war victory, they seem to be aware that the threat of terrorism exists, albeit at a manageable level.
At this decisive moment, it behoves the two main contenders for presidency and the voting public who suffered from the scourge of terror for nearly thirty long years not to lose sight of this lingering terrorist threat, which needs to be neutralised once and for all.
The well known 19th Century military theorist Karl Von Clausewitz famously said war was an extension of politics by other means. Similarly, we venture to argue that politics, in some cases, could be an extension of war by other means.
It was political means that the LTTE mostly used to further its military interests. It made the best use of cease-fires, peace talks and even regime change for this purpose. In the early 1990s, the LTTE facilitated a regime change by physically eliminating several key UNP leaders including President Ranasinghe Premadasa. Chandrika Kumaratunga's People's Alliance came to power in 1994. Thereafter the LTTE launched Eelam War III in 1995, having talked peace with a naïve Chandrika for a few months. Prabhakaran again used politics as an extension of war in 2002, when he offered a unilateral truce, which the Wickremesinghe government fell for, hook, line and sinker. The LTTE replenished its stocks, recruited thousands of cadres, internationalised the conflict as never before, gained a great deal of legitimacy and reverted to war in 2006. The rest is history.
continued...
continued..
Today, although Prabhakaran is no more, the Diasporic Tigers and their local agents are busy creating an environment conducive to the revival of the LTTE. They are making a desperate attempt at securing the release of hardcore Tigers in captivity, having the army withdrawn from the newly liberated areas, where there are still many hidden arms caches and plunging the country into a political turmoil so as to fish in troubled waters. Even the dyed-in-the-wool LTTE activists who initially called for a polls boycott and vilified Fonseka have changed their stance and are now trying to cash in on the situation by bartering votes for pledges to grant their wishes.
These secessionist forces have tried to achieve their goal with the help of some political parties on several occasions. The UNP, the JVP and the TNA joined hands twice after the eruption of Eelam War IV at Mavil Aru in 2006, to defeat budget votes (in 2007 and 2008) and bring about a regime change but to no avail. They were ably assisted in that task by some members of the international community. The same forces are at work again!
The battle formations are now clear on the political front and next week's crucial election will be a contest between the forces that sought to scuttle the war and those who really defeated terrorism, the only difference being that the former army chief is today a willing captive of the UNP-JVP-TNA combine which is putty in hands of the foreign governments sympathetic to the LTTE. A man is known by the company he keeps!
The JVP has dropped its mask of pseudo patriotism at long last and is flirting with Norway. JVP leader Somawansa Amarasinghe, who used to vent his spleen on Norway accusing it of sponsoring LTTE terrorism, has suddenly realised that Sri Lanka should forge strong ties with that country! Ironically, a few weeks ago, the JVP lashed out at India over what it called a move to interfere in Sri Lanka's internal affairs!
Thus, going by the not so hidden agendas of the political forces in the two camps, it may be argued that next week's electoral exercise is not only a presidential election but also a referendum of sorts where people will decide whether to help create conditions for the revival of remnant secessionist forces in a state of suspended animation or to trounce them.

SK
Just becuz a news was telecast in state media that news can't be false. Just becuz private media don't publish a news that news can't be false. In fact all these so called independent (i.e. pro-UNP) media will play for gonseka in this week.
Any one really really interested on HICORP can do own research and fine out it. Its easy to see gazette and check who was the chair of tender committee before Gonseka and when Gonseka was the commander and if can spend around $100 can get records from US official sites (as Asithri said.)
Legal action at this point will not help. The so called converters will say its GSL falsely filing a case and its not possible a verdict in 7 days and even court says gonseka is guilty still these so called converters will say its due to MRs influence and they will not accept. Truth is even if gonseka admits these so called converters will not accept.
There is more than enough clear evidence about this so called Mr Clean and any one rejecting all such allegations with no consideration can't be a floating voter and must be either an anti-MR person, fonseka-lover or an idiot.

I can't remember whether you were a DW blogger during the Eelam War IV when we were trying to help in the war effort and keep the LTTE supporters in the Diaspora and their Western lackeys at Bay, and if you were, how you reacted.
If you were at DW then, you would know that EVERY ONE OF US Patriots really felt as if we were PERSONALLY at the BATTLE FRONT. We felt every threat against Sri Lanka in our collective GUT on a very personal level.
As far as we are concerned, The actual Eelam War IV was Phase I of that struggle. The upcoming PE and the GE are Phase II of that War, when we have the opportunity to consolidate the results of that seminal victory to PERMANENTLY SECURE the INTEGRITY of Sri Lanka as ONE Nation, and lay the FOUNDATION for UNIMAGINABLE ECONOMIC GROWTH for our long suffering nation and people. We are TIRED of being an object to be pitied; we want our day in the sun, now!
That is what Victory by the MR-GOSL in the PE and the GE means to us Patriots here.
If you find that HILARIOUS, and you are at a loss to understand our CONCERN for the MOTHERLAND in this election, and choose to attribute it to payment of money to us by anyone, then CLEARLY you not one of us Patriots, because you don't feel like we do.
That should explain it ALL to you!
So feel free to laugh at us now, as the LTTE supporters laughed at us Modayas during the Eelam War IV.
But, remember that he who laughs last, laughs the longest, and we Patriots are CERTAIN to LAUGH LAST in the company of the VAST MAJORITY of Sri Lankans!

Patriots,
I just got off the phone talking to a cross-section of people in Sri Lanka.
The consensus is that, at present, MR is heading for a win with 60-70% of the votes. To me, that is a LANDSLIDE victory.
They said the margin weas less last week, but MR was going to win handsomely even then.

Fonseka addresses Malik with filth at Sirikotha: Blames for conspiracy
It is reliably learnt that Fonseka had expressed his frustration and contempt over UNP top official Malik Samarawickrama over the failed absurd attempt to bribe NFF parliamentarian Mohammed Muzamil for Rs. 30 million.
Angry Fonseka during a UNF meeting at Sirikotha, had addressed Mr. Samarawickrama with filth accusing the latter for not making a conscious effort to keep the underhand work at low profile. Despite delivering an array of �Fonseka-special�, the care-taken candidate according to informed sources had insisted that Malik should strictly keep away from the UNF campaign work.
�You just keep-away from my campaign and thanks for pushing the whole effort downhill in a blunder�, Fonseka had out-cried.
Following a startling revelation with audio and video evidences, NFF leader Weerawansa brought to light the Ravi Karunananyake-Malik Samarawickrama �bribe�- play, triggering waves of adverse public sentiments over the opposition including Fonseka.
According to independent political observers, SFB learns that the intensity of revelations into alleged corruption scandals and bribing efforts of both Fonseka and his sleuths to be severely critical on the oppositions election account with just days for the grand finale
SF Balakaya
**************************
As this bribary affair came out I posted my thought that Malik could have in the frame up. It seems like SF is suspecting the same.
Then I wondered if Malik's voice has been recorded then he couldn't be involved in framing SF unless there is some 'agreement'.
Anyhow the SF's camp complained that Mussamil's left hand has taken the bribe given by the right hand just out of desperation I think. They might have thought that the act of complaining might make a confusion among the voters.
But, I think many voters now will be convinced that the bribe has been given. I think SF's camp is delusional and unde severe distress and do not know what they are doing. It is time for the next blow.
mi,
democratic rights are subject to legal restrictions.
it is ILLEGAL for an army officer or a soldier to engage in politics while in service. when on holiday they are still in service. if they want to do politics, they can resign from the army which is perfectly allowed.
got it????
after a spate of shooting incidents, it is necessary to deploy the army and ensure security. so there is no way their leave can be approved at this crucial juncture.
anyway MOST SLA guys are against SF.
An Islamic Colleague of mine returned from Sri Lanka. He ia an independent observer without any strong party affiliations.
He reported that JVPers think thatSF is going to win definitely but the general consensus is that it is definitely going to be a MR victory.
When I commented that SF's victory could be very disasterous then he said it is impossible that SF would win.
However SF has some strong support around city centers in compariosn with overwhelming support for for MR in the rural areas.
He was thinking that GR has brought the Apolo hospital.
when it was reported that gonseka had blasted dayasiri jayasekara with FILTH we were reluctant to believe it.
but what happened???
he has not participated in ANY MAJOR canvassing work of gonseka since!!!!
enough proof of a collapsing coalition.
now not only malik and dayasiri, but also the toungue twsited idiots an-ura, vijitha, vesi senanayake should be very careful. the dreaded filthy american dictator charles tailor aka sarath fonseka is after them!!
lovely.
i think gonseka's life went into darkness after the solar eclipse.

Let's remember this quote for later shall we?
Meanwhile... you are saying that a member of the armed forces is not allowed, on their free time, to attend a political rally, meeting or discussion group?
Those are all politics.
Prove it.
Show me where it says it is "ILLEGAL" for a member of the armed forces to attend a political rally, meeting or discussion group on their own time.
If they can't go to a rally can they watch the replay on the tele?
Give me a break.
Whether or not the this affects two people or two thousand it is still a cheap ploy and further proof of rot in the regime.
The worst part is that MR could have been golden for decades to come if he wasn't so greedy. He had it all perfectly lined up but managed to get himself in the way of greatness.
All of this goes to show that his shoulders were never meant to carry greatness... sure, his native cunning has taken him far but only in the way a lucky rat boards the right ship at the right time just to fall prey to the first-mate's cat a day before making land.

Ananda-USA,
Thanks for your clarifications. Anyway I was not that serious with my comment. Therefore one should look at it from humorous angle. When read some of the posts from certain unwavering patriots; especially from blogger Moshe; it looks like… he is been paid for his tireless work. May be I am wrong but there is a say:
Devil is not so black and God is not so white. As such Mahinda cannot be that good because he has so many weaknesses to let others to push boundaries of democracy further and further to achieve their ends. On the other hand Fonseka cannot be completely brushed off as a monster with few allegations and hypothetical if and but projections.
If we look at things as it is Mahinda is not that good and Fonseka is not that bad. However, Mahinda is more trustworthy as a leader because we know his strengths and weaknesses. We don’t know much about Fonseka as leader with executive powers. Therefore people’s choice should be MR not SF. Anyway I will not agree MR is the perfect choice for SL.

Lanka Puthra whoever you are I am not working on hypotehses or rumours:
He claimed in Public that he is polpot.
Do not get back to me. Call your saviour please.
Refer to his statment:
wonderful Plan of Development of Sri Lanka by Sarath Fonseka
Why cannot anybody else think about it. Only Sarath Fonseka(SF) is wise enough of thinking of such a genius plan.
According to SF to reduce cost of living and and increase salaries economists have to be chased away(He could have meant “killed”-like Pol Pot).
So I think SF is consistent in these matters and now applying SF’s super wisdom logic consistently we conclude:
To develop the country Engineers should be killed or at least chased away.
To improve health the nurses and doctors should be killed or at least chased away.
To improve education, teachers should be killed and books should be burnt.
To increase food production farmers should be killed.
Etc, Etc, Etc,
Fianlly to solve problems of a country all a large fraction of people must be eliminated.
What a genius! One and only one never before, never later. Do not miss your unique chance. Let us flock to vote for this Pol Pot. Hurry up please!
If any body has any doubts about this plan then contact the genius.
You will have earful of decent language.

Here's another realty check to jolt you:
Have you seen pro-RW/TNA/LTTE supporters coming here and going into paragraph after paragraph harangues about SF's shortcomings and in the end saying SF is still the best choice?

Spot on. I wont surprise if some of these 'perfectionists', ultra-balanced, super-unbiased patriots (multipolar excluded) advised us on 25 to vote for gonz. (Multipolars agenda is clear so no surprise.)
Ninja I am at work now. I only extended his logic but he said what I say he said.
I cannot play the videos at the workplace eventhough today is a quite a slow day.
I need to check that when I go home. If I can find it I will put the link.
What amazes me is that what I thought he would be is confirmed by himself on daily basis.
For all you misguided poor sods who are pro-MR but continue to keep posting MR shortcomings here saying that it is best to do so and get MR to change - I have a realty check for you.
Do you seriously think by posting the negativities bout MR here you are going to see a modified behavior from him, i.e. a super human act, in this remaining few days before the votes are cast?
If you do, then I feel sorry for you as that seriously shows your lack of acumen and foresight.
Yes, what you don't realize is all your negative-MR writings (which get added to the hardcore, vile and often false anti-MR propaganda by die hard UriNePeers, LTTErs, fuckedup JVPers, etc.) serve to further the RW/TNA/LTTE interests and get SF whoredog elected.
Time to look at the bigger picture. Do not lose sight of the woods for the trees!
Yes, do not be deluded with the notion that this is the time to punish MR for his shortcomings by writing the way you do, but saying feebly at the end that you still want him to win!
Bottom line: This is not the time to help the RW/TNA/LTTE interests, even by a remotely unwitting act!

Aisthiri:
I understand the power of subliminal message.
I cannot cover MR's faults but I hve chosen not to higllight them at the moment.
Who is perfect. My Father when he was alive he had a few criticisms about me but I know how much he loved me and respected me.
Also I had a few criticisms about him I know how much I love him and respect him.
He gave me life. He (though uneducated) gave knowledge.
He gave Dharma.
But he was not perfect and I am not perfect.
I do not xpect anybody (and MR) to be perfect.
There is a colosal difference between an Idi Amin and a normal human being let alone great leader like MR.
MR is a greate person and a leader.
He let SF contest. That tell me who he is.
Someone can synical angle to it. Then we can put cynical angles to Buddha or Christ.
So I keep the right to criticise MR. In these crticisms there are no any subliminal message other than the open message, please vote for MR.

Thats fine.

I was really sad how some of (pseudo?) patriots spend all their time and energy to convince us on some minor weaknesses or mistakes MR has done. Looks like nothing positive with MR and Gonseka also going to be OK. I have no issue LTTE scums, hard core UNP/JVP, some 'gunamakuwas' or even multipolar supporting Gonseka but this situation is so sad.
mi,
the legal restriction prevents them from directly engaging in a political movement, to be precise. my bad if i gave any other impression.
it doesn't stop them from being a politically active member of the public.
e.g. if a SLA guy on leave attends an election rally, talks to his firends about his political choice, it is OK.
if he takes part in canvassing activities as part of a candidate's election work, then it is disallowed.
SU
By doing a re-post, I will answer you:
Here's another realty check to jolt you:
Have you seen pro-RW/TNA/LTTE supporters coming here and going into paragraph after paragraph harangues about SF's shortcomings and in the end saying SF is still the best choice?
I think many of you need to learn the ABC's of "psychology of propaganda"...as it is evident to me many are too simplistic in their thinking!

ha ha ha...good one! However, I know who those buggers are and have been watching them here.
Who I am really worried about are the “Real Patriots” who don't realize the huge uplift they are giving for the RW/TNA/LTTE secessionist campaign (with PAWNseka heading it) by trying to be a "Mr. Nice" here in being "ultra-balanced" "perfectionist" etc. as you aptly said.

That is exactly my approach.
i don't want to spoil the plan but JVP is either upto something BIG or utter bloody confused drunkard idiots.
1. a few days ago somawansa was photographed reading MR's manifesto on SF's stage seated next to gonz and RW.
2. a few days ago gonz's media URA, an-URA said, MR is certainly winning.
3. vijitha said JVP is definitely not allowing the separation of the north-east
4. tilvin said gonseka is engaging in thuggery and violence
5. lal kanta said if anyone had gota ordered to kill tigers, it is an act of treason.
can all this be just cases of slip of the toungue or mishaps????
i don't think so.
something is going on.
is the JVP a time bomb or a trojan horse in GCE O/L only dumb gonseka's camp?
what if it goes off in style on 25 jan????

I almost vomited after I saw this and the other two parts by this same bogus man-in-robes!
I could hardly believe my eyes!
This purported selfless, honest, man-of-Dhamma was uttering lies through his teeth and covering up absolute truths!
He, just to name a few loathsome utterings:
- Conveniently side stepped the issue that TNA is still an avowed Tamil separatist organization that is yet to denounce LTTE separatism (like Douglas D and Karuna A has done) and that they should not be associated with SF - if SF is a patriot as he claims
- Conveniently evaded the question that why is the West (against whom he was a staunch pillar earlier)now supporting SF
- Covered up for HiCorp scandal as if he is a forensic investigator who has done his due diligence and found it was all done out of malice by MR GOSL
I sincerely hope this bogus man-in-robes gets prosecuted for fraud (as per the charges laid) and gets thrown in jail for a long time.
Phew! Yes, I am sick to my stomach!!!

Democracy is not only having elections at regular intervals but keeping institutions of a country clean from politics. If key institutions like judiciary, police, health, state owned media, education and employment etc are working impartially with minimum interference from government; then true democracy will prevail.
Now, if one is appointing his immediate relatives and in laws to run or direct various institutions as they wish and to get unwarranted political mileage which is against true democracy. What we have seen in Sri Lanka from 1970 onwards is exactly that.
This trend has gone to a new height after May 2009; anybody he who opposes, criticise or condemn present governing regime is a traitor while anybody approves the regime without any sort of reservations branded as patriots. Even worse, anybody who is not falling into patriot band is also a traitor. This is an excellent way to gag the whole nation for the regime’s advantage.
There are so many people ready to endorse the regime for another term; but they are asking only to initiate a new trend to free country’s important institutions from political and other interferences. They can ask such things only at election times. Therefore do not try to gag them here or there for sake of our future generations.
Moshe;
This is how I read it. On individual basis they are demoralised and helpless and distressed.
This demoralisation and distres stress the tongues. So they could be just slips or something more than slips but not yet a planned things
In the party level they have not made any decision. Still they want SF to win so that they can realise their dream of kingmakers and get some electoral benefits so that they can limp into next armed 'revolution'
JVP, as I have been told, was a major player who forced SF on MR.
The most damaging statement, which was not slip came from Lal Kantha.
But he did not choose the right path expecting somehow it will work for them.
Only when their personal fotunes attached their political fortune is rattled they will do something direct.
If SF is made angry he will threaten to kill them all.
Then it will happen.
If they see that their whole campaign is crumbin then they will act.
They choose SF knowing about SF more than anyone of us. Unless they see that the Devil is blacker than they thought they would not act since they are selfish traitors and prisoners of their ideology.
It is also possible that they have made a conscious decision not to support MR directly (to save face) but insure the defeat of SF(to save their necks).
Just to digress a bit to the lighter side...

I went to USA by obtaining a Graduate Assistantship. When I got the visa he asked me
thinking that I would die soon due to a medical condition that I suffered,
"Why do you want die among strangers, please die among us."
I gave an answer. He accepted my decision.
He sadly said 'If you get sick there I do not have a cent to send you".
I said it is OK1 I will save money from the GAship and send money to my family.
He was critical about my views on Relligion and horrescope. He could read horrescope and he wanted me to beieve in it.
We tried to outsmart each other. I change the time on all clocks since he wanted me to leave the house at a particular moment.
I miss him.

if u don't mind how that astrology predictions turned out to be?
Ninja you are tickling me into fond and cheaky memories. He made predictions. He was famous among local people. sometimes he brought my hoorescope to Nationally famous astologers(Malawanne Kavithilaka).
They both predicted that I would fail my exams but will somehow at the end I will very well educated.
The exams that they predicted that I would fail I passed. My father responded, I passed since I worked hard if it not for the stars I would have passed being the top.
Sometimes he advised me to not to go for some important tasks on certain times. Then I would change the clock times. Sometimes he would change back. Some occassions because of his cheeky nature, I was outsmarted and I had left the house excatly at the time he wanted to me leave. One time he pleaded with the vehicle people to come later since the time I had schedulled to leave was a bad time.
I got quite angry when I came to know but I was laughing also.
At times when I was outright disobedient and left exaclty at the bad moment and got good results, somewhat grudgingly and admirably he said Yakata hari yanne yakage welawalma thama.
Then he argued if I had left at the auspicious time the task would have been even more successful.
As he predicted sometimes I was unsuccessful.
On my weddingday he advised me to put the right foot first when coming down from the poruwa. I delibrately put the left foot.
Now when I remember how his face at that moment was now I feel that I have been cruel to him but I had to stand on my own feet.
If he were alive he would admire my marriage and would have said that if I put the right foot first I would have won million of doallars.
I have studied a bit astrology so that I could argue with my Dad when I was in Year 9-10. What I came to realise was if you look in one point of view then it is black
another point of view it is white.
So two honest astrologers could predict two different outcomes for this election genuinely because of their party affiliation they could empahsis on a particulr combination of stars rather than the another.
Thank you very much for letting me shar memories about my wonderful Dad.

[Also why are you re-posting everything which appeared under "Ananda" handle with your usual "Ananda-USA" handle, we all know its you :)]
No, you can't know that, because many Fakes have plagued DW in the past in different guises. Sometimes they submit posts similar in style to the original person. The less artful Fakes are easy to recognize recognizable, but there are stealth Fakes too who proceed in minute incremental steps.
The only guarantee that a Blog Handle belongs to the original blogger is to check the Blog ID Number (mine is 13271938845222503043) in the Task Bar that is associated with the Handle against that of an earlier post by the original blogger.
Sam Perera was our expert in keeping track of Fakes; he performed a yeoman service to us by publishing lists of Fake IDs during the Eelam War IV days.
I created the handle "Ananda" a long time ago and switched to "Ananda-USA" a few days later. By accident, I had logged in and submitted three posts under "Ananda" yesterday, so I corrected them. I will now delete the posts I made as "Ananda."
A long-winded explanation .. but you did ask why! :)
Lanka Puthra,
Aren't you the one who came here with some fake poll results indicating a landslide for the top scum Fonseka? Seems that it is hard for you to stop old dirty habits. However, I can assure you that your style of propaganda is totally ineffective since most of us except Disinformation are not Irudina readers. You need o try hard to improve your Goebbelesian fibbing skills.
Thanks SU.
/Then he argued if I had left at the auspicious time the task would have been even more successful./
Quite common with astrologers. Or they say if not for our advise this will be worse when things gone wrong.
It is crystal clear, as we see how our affairs are being reported in foreign media, what the role of so called unbiased foreign media is.
When I read International media reports on other countries, first I use sceptic glasses.
Thanks Moses. My wife has prohibitted me to confirm or deny my birthday. Eventhough at times I was disobedient to my parents at times as I have explained before, I am always obeying my wife.
This is something my Dad did not teach me, dangers of being married. (Kidding. Even if it is true I have to say kidding you know why. That may be what Lal Kantha, Dayasiri Jayasekara are doing?)
That was the reason I did not have proper evaluation of LTTE until 1991 December. By the time 1989, I realised that what JVP did in south the LTTE was doing in the North and East. Still my thoughts were sketchy until Dec. 1991.
Lal Kantha and Dayasiri are obeying party discipline, I am obeying wife discipline. (Kidding again- my alibi)
su,

[As such Mahinda cannot be that good because he has so many weaknesses to let others to push boundaries of democracy further and further to achieve their ends. On the other hand Fonseka cannot be completely brushed off as a monster with few allegations and hypothetical if and but projections.
If we look at things as it is Mahinda is not that good and Fonseka is not that bad. ]
I am afraid that I have to disagree with your putting Mahinda Rajapaksa and Sarath Fonseka on the same platform of "not that good ... not that bad."
Everyone knows that NO MORTAL CAN BE PERFECT, but there are different degrees of "good" and "bad".
Mahinda Rajapaksa always behaves in a dignified way, in the way that we expect the leader of our nation to behave.
He is FIRM where firmness is called for, as when he had to initiate and pursue the war to the complete destruction of the LTTE, when he rebuff the Western LTTE lackeys from rescuing the LTTE leadership so they could re-initiate that war later.
He is COMPASSIONATE where kindness is called as evidenced by his concern for, and support of, the IDPs, and in his embracing all Sri Lankans irrespective of communal atrributes.
He is EXTREMELY ABLE in that he assembled the TEAM that won the war, led the diplomatic offensive to shield that effort from premature termination, overcame the denial of funds by the West by establishing alliances elsewhere, ungrudgingly provided all arms and equipment required to win the war, held together a paper-thin parliamentary majority in the midst of a war of national reunification and survival, protected the jobs and standard-of-living of the most vulnerable citizens during that war, and guided the economy towards the world's best performing stock market in 2009. Moreover, everywhere you look, there is economic development under way .. ports, air[ports, roads, bridges, flyovers, factories, reservoirs, power plants .. you name it .. it has been built. Rembember, that this has largely been done with funds that he secured abroad largely through his own intiatives.
Against all this, all you can say is that he is guilty of nepotism and corruption. On this alleged nepotism, given the traitors we who were confronting him during the period leading to the war, and who are now jumping from MR to the UNF for scraps of food off RW's table, would you blame him for relying on his brothers to wage that war of national survival? I WOULD HAVE DONE THE SAME!
Then there is this allegation of corruption. This is a molehill exaggerated into a veritable mountain .. to create a major election campaign issue in the absence of ANY! People point to Mervin as if he encompasses all the ills of corruption in the land. Corruption there was before MR became President on the promise of reunifying the country, and corruption there will be until Sri Lanka's economy GROWS TENFOLD with a good paying job for everyone who wants one! The Rajapaksa family, unlike many who preceded them in power, NEVER made money from their positions in government.
The only factual and valid criticism you can make of the MR is that he gave cabinet positions to nearly every powerful MP. But, there is a very good reason for that .. that was the way he was forced to hold together the paper-thin parliamentary majority until he had reunified the nation. Now, have delivered on his HIGHEST PRIORITY, he is appealing to the citizens of the country, to give him an overwhelming mandate so he can STREAMLINE his administration, pare the bureaucratic government overhead and return the benefits of peace to the people in the form of MASSIVE ECONOMIC GROWTH.
Impossible to compare MR and SF as "not that good .. not that bad"
...continued ...
In CONTRAST, Sarath Fonseka behaves like a low class knave that I would not want to have as the President of Sri Lanka. Engaging in treachery, hurling insults in foul language unworthy of a president of our country, he has allied himself with separatist terrorists (TNA), former terrorists and class-warfare experts (JVP), and traitors ready to deliver the country bound hand-and-foot to its enemies (RW). Perhaps the foremost reason for rejecting him is his war crimes charge against his former brothers-in-arms, conniving with enemies within and without the country to achieve his hateful agenda .. I can NEVER FORGIVE HIM for that.
There is NO WAY that ANYONE can begin to COMPARE these two people on an EQUAL BASIS as you do. They are not similar apples of two different kinds, but differ like Kasthuri and Feces.
"The Tamil diaspora wants Mahinda to be defeated," said David Poopalapillai, national spokesman for the Canadian Tamil Congress.
"The climate would change and the rays of hope would come. It would bring some change in the country in the political climate," he said.
Chaps, if poop boy wants President Rajapaksa defeated then it's every patriots duty to see that he is reelected. This poop boy is dreaming of lost Peelam when he says 'rays of hope would come'. Throw some poop at him and defeat Ali-Koti Samagama.
Cheers!

gonz swansong
you can give me instances of LTTE supporting gonz, here, in this blog (SLDF). that is, web links to those stories.
i already have all tamilnet stories.
LETS GRILL GONZ!!! BBQ!!
lankacnews says cbk and son company deserted sf second operation.. hik hik too bad mr missed a chance to get more votes..
Lanka Puthra,
Most People here are truly worried about the country and do not have anything personally to gain from the MR's victory..Even if SF wins they have their residencies/citizenships and can live comfortable lifes
However the country has everything to lose if MR loses..My field of work/study allowed me to visit an area in the East which is being earmarked for a massive industrial zone..If this goes through (similar to H'tota and M'kulam) there will be massive income to SL and as a bonus ethnic integration will take place..My heart sank when I heard that the local TNA MP wants it scrapped and wants the lands distributed to Tamils, who are not originally from the area (note that the project will take place on state land captured from the LTTE)..If SF comes to power this will be the unfortunate reality..
Thats why we hope that on the 27th MR wins and that,
'Ranchu gesila kurullo (see Hansayo)
Ohey Piyamba Giyawe"
From the intel I got MR got just above 50% of the postal vote...So agree with Moshey, the game is on..However from what I gather here is MR is gaining the swing vote, not losing it the way Sujeewa and Moshey have been saying..
Its actually a good move to bring in GR to the election and sideline BR..
The sub-urban middle class, where the swing vote is rever Gota more than both SF and MR..They would sure appreciate the fact that Gota didn't bring out the servant rape issue out..
I am dissapointed that the Nanda Menike issue didnt come to fore, this would have shown Fonseka's (hora) pavulwadaya..A few pics of Danuna's home in USA and his bevy of vehicles would not have hurt either..
MIA and Moshey,
It is standard practice to cancel all leave of service and police personnel three days on either side of a national election..There is no conspiracy behind this..
Diyasena,
I don’t want SF to win at all. Mahinda should win at any cost. If you look at my previous comments you will realise that. However, I do not endorse incumbent president blindly; I have very good idea about the game both parties playing. That is why I want him to win at with a narrow margin. Then he may wake up from euphoria and start to control his relatives and in laws.
If get a landslide victory; chance are there for him and his team to continue as nothing has happened. They will start believing overwhelming public approval endorsed their conduct completely. It is not the case.
That is all but reaction from our bloggers is unbelievably one sided and not second to those who are ready to kill for political gain.
/From the intel I got MR got just above 50% of the postal vote.../
I don't believe intel has access to postal votes. Perhaps intel did their job (survey) among a big sample of postal voters. Anyway if true this is too bad. I was expecting 55% from postal votes. just above 50% looks like 10,000 has worked. OTOH, postal vote is just an indicator when results issued as it comes first. Apart from that its not a deciding factor. Just above 50% means MR is winning but technically Gonseka too still have chance with low probability.
/Diyasena said...
MIA,
It is standard practice to cancel all leave of service and police personnel three days on either side of a national election../
Unfortunately terrorists living in exile are not familiar with SL system and laws there.
/That is why I want him to win at with a narrow margin./
Unfortunately, voters can't check the margin during voting time and decide.
/Then he may wake up from euphoria and start to control his relatives and in laws./
When it comes to executive powers there is no relation on what % victory it was. Once get elected thats it.
But if any one believes on this theory and decide not to vote for MR expecting low margin victory for MR now thats a success story for you know who...
Moshe: Thanks! I did not take any offence for asking. I take in the spirit of good fun and amicability from your part and my part.

Illustration is only to illustrate my earlier statements; If you have not read them, sorry, go back and read them first. Yes my personal view is that Mahinda is a safer shot for next 06 years not because SF is bad because we do not know how he will lead the country plus associating or even discussing things with TNA. I also believe nothing wrong with joining UNP and JVP, if he believes he can deliver peace and prosperity while eradicating corruption and family bandism.

Go and read printed and electronic media run by those who opposed to the present gvt. They may be not 100% true or accurate while not 100% false too. If you are ignoring these charges against MR and the clan, you also must be paid by the SLG.

RW made a mistake by signing CFA and Prabhakaran made even bigger mistake by not honouring it. He may not have balls like Mahinda to otherwise or president CBK may have frustrated him. However, RW is a better person than most of others.
/Danuna will not go to the CID today – General’s media unit
Danuna Tillekaratne will not go to the CID today, General’s media unit told Ada Derana. The media unit also added that they had received a letter requesting Danuna to present himself to the CID today. However the unit said that he will not go to the CID instead lawyers have been consulted regarding the matter to take proper legal action.
During a meeting in Makadura last evening in Walasmulla, Presidential Candidate Rtd. General Sarath Fonseka said that Danuna Tillekaratne, his son-in-law has been asked to appear before the CID during the course of today./
Danuna is clean as his uncle is clean so no need to follow law and go to CID as requested.
...he believes he can deliver peace and prosperity while eradicating corruption and family bandism... HIKz
As DeshaP once said, there exist two diff models of predictions [non-biased]. One predicts that most semi-urban and close to city population is with MR and expecting a 60+%/40-% [landslide], whereas another predicts that a bulk of such ppl have fallen to SF campaign and it will be a very tight game. Neither says that SF is with advantage, but latter is scarely.
Due to the possibility of the second case, we need some method to stop SF conversions. I see none right now. Most ppl here kept on providing reasoning and logic, but it does not fall on cionverts. SF campaign has pre-emptively countered these allegations, maybe knowing that they'll come back in latter stage.
I am unable to make a prediction right now. It looks like a very complex situ and w/o proper surveying and popularity checks, it is hard to judge.
For Sri Lankan voters who are just going to vote for SF because they jumped on to the SF's so-called Change bandwagon , take US for example.
"Analysts say that with opinion polls showing that nearly half of all Americans think President Obama is not delivering on his major campaign promises, the Massachusetts race could be seen as a referendum on his first year in office" .
They are frustrated within a year!
In the case of SF's change you are guaranteed it won't take that much time like in the case of US, may perhaps three months maximum.

Can you prove that there is no cheese package around an orbit of Moon?
I just have put something in electronic media that Lankaputhra is from Mars.

As I said I believed what SF said about SF.
If I cannot believe what SF says about SF then he might not contest.
If I can believe what SF says about SF then he should not contest either.

You really got to be joking !
Looks like some ppl can live in their own dream worlds completely ignoring what's been hitting their faces every 10 mnts.
A person who was vengeful, took revenge on officers of the highest caliber for petty personal things while being the Army Commader cannot really be "that bad" as the Executive President of Sri Lanka?
Are you talking about the same person who transfered Daya Ratnayake to an administrative position simply because he was a few hours late to run to his beck and call when the almighty commander decided to visit East on the very same day that Daya Ratnayake was on leave and was in Colombo for the first time after many many months ! Which resulted in Daya Ratnayake submitting his resignation and the Sec of Defence as usual coming to the rescue of this great officer.
This is only one of the many "not so bad" deeds by this almighty commander.
When you do have time try to find out what he did to Parakrama Pannipitiya, Prasanna Silva, Shavindra Silva, Jagath Jayasooriya.
Finally, Fonseka-LTTE/TNA agreement is published in Tamilnet. Enjoy!
Re: Dhanuna Thillakatratne Affair
Danuna will not go to the CID today – General’s media unit
Danuna Tillekaratne will not go to the CID today, General’s media unit told Ada Derana. The media unit also added that they had received a letter requesting Danuna to present himself to the CID today. However the unit said that he will not go to the CID instead lawyers have been consulted regarding the matter to take proper legal action.
During a meeting in Makadura last evening in Walasmulla, Presidential Candidate Rtd. General Sarath Fonseka said that Danuna Tillekaratne, his son-in-law has been asked to appear before the CID during the course of today.
Intersting Comments
Danuna, you are not only guilty for this crime, you are also guilty for treason. You held talks with Balasubramanium of Vancouver, one of the main LTTE figurs in Canada and discussed possibilities of supplying same items you supplied to the SL army. In that, you, your father in law (SF)(uncle in your langusge) and Malinda discussed of taking 30 cents from each bullet that you supply to LTTE. The plan was to keep 10 cents each. The plan did not work, as far as I know, but you at least were thinking of making money by providing bullets to the both sides. Your plan was to buy bullets from Russia and sell to the both sides. I still meet Bala.
ElwinBarak
-----------------------
Danu, I am sure that you still do remember me. I have a lot to disclose, if I will do so it will be much worse than Upul´s statement. Upul was wrong only on one point, you know that. But unfortunately you can not go against him at this moment. Can you? But in general, he said 99% truth.

MR leads by 8% than SF!!!!!!!! internal secret research in UNP reveals
Is this Fonseka's response to Dhanuna case?
Ministry Secretaries are puppets - Fonseka
Except for the Defence Secretary all the other Ministry Secretaries behave like puppets, Presidential Candidate Rtd. Gen. Sarath Fonseka said today. He further added that the leaders are acting according to their will and that their bad actions have no consequences.
According to Fonseka people who commit minor offences are taken to task but the big sharks go unpunished.

Right now they want tamils to vote for SF. And they are publishing the corresponding secrets. However, they know that it is not gonna impact Sinhala much. Most Sinhala have no access to it. Tamils in SL react to diaspora, and this message can easily be spread in diaspora.
This tells me that even the god fathers of united tamil eelam, including TNA, are still in doubt about getting the full support of SL tamil voters. If by any chance north votes for MR, it will be the biggest victory after May19th.

What I can't believe is that Sam (who sure isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer) holds the Rosetta Stone for interpreting their propaganda.
He is merely proving that anything he reads that agrees with his pov is truth regardless of fact or the source.
Remember... this is the same Sam who lathered heaps of praise on SF all over DefenceWire and called him one of the greatest Sri Lankan Patriots of all time.
Clearly he is no reader of horseflesh.

SF was a hero, and there is no changing in my end. But then he betrayed. Isn't it possible in the universe taht you experienced?
Tamilnet is always on agenda. To win it they sometimes publish fabricated stories, and other times hidden truth. Either is possible.
Based on the situ we have to find out which exactly it is.

The idea that Mahinda Rajapaksa is not a good speaker is a myth. He is an extremely good debater. Extremely good in logically countering arguments. However he is not good in public speeches.
As my mortal humble eyes see it every indication leads to the inevitable victory of MR.
Anura Disanayaka confirms it.
Mangala Samaraweera confirms it.
(These tongue slips give glimpses of their subconscious.)
UNP website says that MR leads in their internet opinion poll.
CBK is neutral UNP website reports so CBK confirms that MR is winning.
Ranil W gives the credit of war victory to MR and he says he had nothing to with Karuna's split and he laments that SF obeyed exact orders given by MR.
UNP/JVP activists (rather than big fish) are coming to support in big numbers to support MR.

If you provided the level of allegations against SF's Hicorp deal on war times, then you can debate this way. Fact is you [the opponant of SLDF] failed to find a single defect with the kinda evidence of today.
Instead your clan kept on spreading that SF is leading SLDF to kill innocent tamils deliberately. And many millions of such lies. And yes we did counter them. We do even now.
Even when your astral twin Wijepala [or was it him?] once whined "who will be accountable for mistakes in Muhamalai" I did say that they are mistakes and the kinda things we shud avoid. And I said that SF is not perfect and anyone is bound to make such mistakes in a major war. I stand by that statement even today.
But, deliberately destablishing the ongoing administration, taking part with traitors of nation, and negotiating and selling out himself to the enemies of the nation are traitorous crimes and we call him a traitor for such. He did not do that before May 19th.
And of course NONE of us knew of HICORP. Neither us nor you.
[[to support part of that contention you point to Tamilnet as a place to get reliable information.]]
What sam showed in TN was the trend of it. Plus did you check teh link at all. It is compiled with jest to SF.
We do not refer TN saying it is truth. We only refer to it showing their plot. The content may literally be truth, false, joke, jest, crying, threatening or any other possible writing stance. But they always have a master plan and that is what matters.

Note this for the record. Anybody who dances to the tunes top scum of Sri Lanka or the terrorists is considered a traitor.

My motherland is bigger than MR or Fonseka. Fonseka's greed for power and quest for vengeance has turned him in to a monster who will not spare anything to hurt the vanguards of our patriotic war against your LTTE terrorists and Eelamist.
@Sam
Thanks for the sampling formula and I think this is for randomized simple sample of size n to test a population of size N.
Actually what I am referring to a clustered sample( not remember whether this is the right term, correct me if I am wrong ).
Well, I will explain what is really in mind a little bit.
To predict the outcome of presidential election(lets say 16 million voters) we will take a simple randomized sample of size 50,000. However here we simply assume that voter distribution in the sample completely random and the area, ethnicity, etc. have no influence at all. However due to this assumption the simple random sample won't fit.
To predict the real outcome of the presidential we need to choose the sample considering the following factors
Area they live, ethnicity, age, sex, etc.
So good sampling would need take the random sample 50,000 distributed among 25 districts (well we can vary this between 10-20 without that much of introduced error) based on the actual population of the particular district.
Also we can decide the composition of a single district based on the ethnic ratio.
But we have a bit problem here too. We don't have a done a census for a long time.
:(
P.S.
I have forgot my favourite subject area, Statistics very much so please excuse if I have missed exact jargon.
Rasika,
I think this is for randomized simple sample of size n to test a population of size N.
Yes this is correct. Also we have to remember that this is with a confidence interval of 95%. Asking questions from the people in Colombo only will not make it random at all. However, when it is done right, they produce very good results.
Gents,
We urge all our Eelam brethren to vote for Mr Sarath Fonseka, he is our saviour from the oppressors. Our freedom will once again be restored if this great man is elected.
Please light a candle of sacrifice for our fallen cadres and remember our long suffering brethren and Mr Fonseka in your daily prayers.

"It is crystal clear, as we see how our affairs are being reported in foreign media, what the role of so called unbiased foreign media is.
When I read International media reports on other countries, first I use sceptic glasses."
Indeed. After witnessing the reporting on Sri Lanka i view all reports eminating from them on other countries with a great deal of sceptism and interest in what their actual agenda is.
Western media have a habit of "miss-reporting things", or as we have seen only pick things up which are beneficial to them e.g. SundayMudSlinger and Gonseka. Same lot who scream "no media freedom" all of sudden accept SundayLeader and Gonseka interview, and to make it more credible they accept that now there were imbedded reporters with the Army. Before they used to bark non-stop about "journalists being banned" (or variations of this).
We have "free media" when it suits them.
SL media coverage of what their precious "humanitarian NGOs" have been doing since 2002 is nicely ignored (when their NGO personal are arrested they cry foul).
Yet when Gonseka makes gon outbursts it makes headlines.
Muzzamil bribery case, they did not mention it or the fact Norway/US were involved until Norway/US gave a response denying any involvement.
When our Embassy was attacked in Norway by Tamils, they did not report it, but when Government (finally) officially stripped Norway of its peacekeeper role they reported Norways sour grapes style response but not the cause.
When Channel 4 video aired they all screeched like rabies inoculated monkeys, when Siri Hewa gave an unquestionable technical analysis exposing that fraud for what it is, they never mentioned the technical analysis which was the primary counter instead fixated on the secondary and tertiary pieces to try and mock the response then dropped the issue completely.
Because they claim to be "free and fair" it is their right to go anywhere and our outraged when denied this "right". They are the most vile, intolerant, manipulative and covertly extreme racists who operate as a fifth column and if anyone is to question them or their motives not only are you wrong or some brainwashed stooge, you will also be censored (see Times, Telegraph comments). We all saw how they reported on China and Tibet in 2008 and the subsequent slap in the face they got in return. However instead of admitting they were wrong, they thickly continued to report pretending their "errors" did not happen (they blamed the "errors" on China).
Not once have you seen BBC or Times ever ask the ordinary people here what they thought about the "human rights" bs, the war, "abductions" etc etc, because they knew the answer they would get, so they stick to their hired hacks (Jehan, Pakith-Saumutt, Sanjana, CPA, INFORM, FMM) "expert opinions" then back this up by asking the Tamil die-ass-pora what they think as well.
Western media is merely an extension of their foreign policy, and the whole lot should be strictly monitored (or preferably kicked out). The only certified way to counter their propaganda against us is to create our own 24 hour news channel akin to Sky or BBC that would not only give us a world voice but enable us to monitor their reporting on Sri Lanka and offer carefully done yet strong rebuttals on the program to large scale audiences.
Whats Ranil saying here? Gonseka did not win the war by himself?
Good to also know Ranil admits he did not cause the Karuna split either.
--------------------------------
When Govt. gave orders the Service Commanders had to execute them, Ranil tells media
January 20, 2010 07:39 pm
United National Party leader Ranil Wickremesingha said that during the Mawilaru incident, once the government took the decision to wage all out war on the LTTE, the Service Commanders had to go out and execute the government order. The government gave the time frame and what should be done. That is how the war developed.
While being interviewed by the Global Tamil Vision (GTV) recently, Mr. Wickremesinghe was responding to a question regarding the candidacy of General (Retired) Sarath Fonseka for presidency and the faith the Tamils had on him as he was the then Army Commander.
“But now that he is no longer the Army commander, he can express his own views. So I have asked many tamil leaders in Sri Lanka to go and meet him. And if satisfied, to tell me. Many have said that they are satisfied,” Mr. Wickremesinghe added.
On the split in the LTTE, where Karuna its Eastern commander broke away from the outfit, Mr. Wickremesinghe said that he did not have anything to do with it. He said he was being blamed by even the Tamil Tigers for this incident.
“What happened in the LTTE was an internal issue which I had nothing to do with. It is very unfair to put the blame on me,” he said during the interview.
Elaborating on the January 26 Presidential poll, Ranil Wickremesinghe said that General Fonseka was nominated to abolish the Executive Presidency.
“This Presidential candidate is to abolish the Executive Presidency. And in April we will have a government with a prime minister with executive Powers. So it is only that person who will do this.
“If we are going to abolish the Executive Presidency we can’t give a manifesto to carry out if he is not the Executive Presidency.”
On changes to the constitution, Mr. Wickremesinghe said that the Constitution could be changed only by Parliament and not by the Executive President. The Parliament has to sit down, discuss and do it, Mr. Wickremesinghe added.

Major General Prasanna Silva says that a section of the international community not only rejected Sri Lanka’s calls for arms, ammunition and equipment but also prevented aircraft carrying urgently needed items from flying over their airspace.
The former General Officer Commanding (GOC) of the 55 Division said that President Mahinda Rajapaksa’s government had bought in the required armaments to bolster the army’s firepower in spite of obstacles.
Silva, currently the GOC of the 22 Division headquartered in Trincomalee said that contrary to claims, the Rajapaksa government had provided a range of weapons and equipment, which helped the government forces to destroy the LTTE’s military wing last May.
The Opposition said that the government shouldn’t have involved serving officers in its propaganda campaign directed against the former Army Commander. But regardless of criticism, senior officers, including Major General Kamal Gunaratne (former GOC of the 53 Division), Major General Shavendra Silva (former GOC of the 58 Division) and Major General Chagi Gallage recently appeared on State TV.
Maj. Gen. Silva said that there was absolutely no truth in the claim that the Army had killed LTTE cadres, who surrendered on the Vanni front. The Army had evacuated wounded LTTE cadres, some of them airlifted to hospital though some interested parties criticised the government for ill-treating the enemy. No one should forget that there were over 11,000 LTTE cadres in government custody, he stressed.
The former soldier Defence Secretary, Gotabhaya Rajapaksa had, Maj. Gen. Silva said, brought the three services and the police together. He had acted swiftly and decisively, intervening to deploy the SLAF to evacuate a wounded soldier from Vakarai during the height of the battle in the East.

SK we cannot for sure say whether SF was a great military commander. Military analyst should analyse his war strategies and see whether they really were good or not.

It is hard for me to believe that he was a great strategist by the way he speaks and acts. Most likely he was a great dictator like VP.

You are missing the point. Just to attack SAM you did not even check what URL is about.
The other point is that even if SF himself says that this is Year 2001 I would still believe him regardless how many times he has made contradictory statements or said lies.
It is not merely the source. It is also the context and other background information what matters when you make an evaluation.
Ranil W, Mangala have been saying truths about SF. Many (including me) did not hear since they followed you crux of the argument.
If it is Mangala never believe type of argument.
If it is Mangala check million times should be the approach.
All along I have been saying the worst crime that the opposition has committed is to loose its creidbility so that even when they state something true people miss it. But they have been the most credible servants of international
forces.
