 BEHOLD St. GORDON, St. FRANCES

Sri Lanka bashers Gordon Weiss and Frances Harrison have both decided to go on a crusade by the end of which both of them will be sainted, and fast-track canonized without the assent of any sitting Conclave in the Vatican.

In these editorial spaces ink and newsprint would not have been expended on St. Frances (aspirant) and St. Gordon (aspirant), unless there wasn't a need to set the record straight about the modus operandi of some folk who have made it their vocation to attack this country (and her people by extension ...), particularly at a time there is a UN session, which has sent the Tamil Tiger lobby into apoplexy, working overtime, and trying to enlist the devil himself in their work ...

Now, these two who are hoping for the said fast-track canonization have both simultaneously gone on record, swearing on their babies' bottoms as it were, that they are doing the work they are doing - basically trotting out falsehoods and trumped-up stories against the Sri Lankan forces and the people - because they feel that they cannot do otherwise when other children suffer, for instance, while theirs sleep soundly, the way babies should.

Both these writers have wept bucketfuls of tears saying that they have 'nothing in this', except the goodness of their hearts, which impelled them to write the stories of suffering Tamil civilians who met calamitous fates at the hands of Sri Lankan troops.

Strange that this milk of human kindness was never quite in evidence when these twosome were both here in Sri Lanka, and Sinhalese children were laid low by their scores in Claymore mine attacks set off by the Tamil Tigers, and kids as young as four were disemboweled in with machetes and other sharp instruments, in what were antiseptically called by this same lot, the 'border villages.'

In other words, these people, unbeknownst to them, just showed that they have comprehensively UN-PEOPLED the Sinhalese people's offspring. Weiss's own kids sleeping in their cots never reminded him of these unfortunate tykes, because -- well, because, he has, along with his kindred such as Frances Harrison, summarily un-peopled the majority of us Sri Lankans.

They just probably felt that the Sinhalese kids were no more than street dogs, or vermin such as cockroaches or termites that deserved to be wiped out, or - no wait, had to be wiped out?

This is where their dirge for the Tamil children and their mothers, starts getting curiouser and curiouser. The Harrisons and the Weiss's come out with their publications and then their respective justifications for them, just about this time of the year.

When they see their own kids in comfort and in clover, they only think of Tamil kids that suffer calamitous fates, and then of course, they take on some of the victim-hood themselves, by stating that they have been vilified in websites as 'White Tigers' and called other such ("boo-hoo-hoo") names.

If this editorial writer has to count the number of times he has been called names and threatened blue-murder, more or less, in assorted websites, he might have to write a book longer than Harrison's to create a log for all of those insults.

But the Harrisons and the Weiss's think they are special. These poor, poor saintly white people, carrying our burden, and shedding their dainty pearly-precious tears for Sri Lanka's Tamil dead. Oh, the exquisite pity of it, this kind folk who could have whooped it up in clover, and existed on caviar and brought on the bubbly each evening when Kilinochchi is as far away from their minds as London is from Uranus?

Perhaps John Perkins the author of the book Confessions of an Economic Hit-Man should be asked about how some people un-people other people, in their spanking idealistic humanitarian crusades.

Perkins details how the big powers and their various agencies (unmentioned here) commissioned various freelancers in the private sector to go forth and do the bidding of the Empire by sabotaging the economies of other countries.

When there is, to put it gently, a recurring credibility issue about people such as Frances Harrison and Weiss, and when their own children remind them of victimized kids of one ethnicity alone - the only question left is, who pays these hit-men, and these hit-women, and how much? Not to mention the fat publishers royalties? And, by the way, a big Thank You to you, Mr. Perkins.

Courageous SPEECH triumphs ‘regime change’: National Day celebrations 2013

It is clear as day light that the endeavours by these opposition groups is to destabilize Sri Lanka and obstruct and impede the development programme of the Rajapaksa government now in full swing. The so-called UN officials whose names are well known and needs no repetition here are acting on their communalist vindictive personal agendas on material furnished to them by paid agents who provoke them by suppressing the truth and the correct ground situation: Hence the proposals and recommendations of the said UN representatives should be legally rejected in limine on the ground of personal bias and animus injuria an on the legal principle of res judicata as this is the second time the same charge is made,

Ensuring conformity to NATIONAL LANGUAGE POLICIES

I make no apologies for returning yet again to the question of language rights. As I noted after my last visit to the North, for a series of Divisional Secretariat Reconciliation meetings, this remains one of the principal bones of contention in the Jaffna District.
