THE SOUND OF ONE HAND CLAPPING!!!
Mahinda Weerainghe
Erik Solheim’s Book Politics are to will launched on March 5, 2013,
had a dearth of facts or substance and was rather hollow for my taste.
If anything was to be gained by it, was the ‘DATES’ of some specific
historical moments. But as to; how and why the ‘peace facilitation’ went
haywire, remains unanswered and blurred. That is if one disregards
Solheim’s off the cuff accusations of, Thorbjørn Jagland which is for
the most part unsubstantiated claptrap.

Erik Solheim |
Jagland in fact was not just anybody. He served as Prime Minster
(1992 to 2002) as Foreign Minister (2005 to 2009), and as President of
the Storting (2005 to 2009). Currently he is serving as the Secretary
General of the Council of Europe (since 2009). He is also the Chairman
of the Norwegian Nobel Committee (since 2009).
To those who are unaware of the great game played clandestinely, such
finger pointing might sound malicious and envious.
Indeed important questions are studiously sidestepped such as; how
many billions of Norsk kr was ‘washed down the drain’ for this grand
‘peace’ undertaking. In a nutshell, the book is exactly like his ‘peace
facilitation’ - lacks transparency, accountability or responsibility.
Curiously the very qualities he and his boss Bondevik demands from GOSL.
Solheim, informs that he “has been in Sri Lanka, a couple of weeks to
write a book about Norwegian politics, and happens to be with his “my
good friend and former Left Party leader Arne Fjotoft”. Arne also called
the ‘king of Jaffna’ had been laying the ground work to introduce the
Terrorist Tigers to the Norwegian politicians of all shades while the
Lankans were in a deep slumber.
He opens the topic of Sri Lanka in this manner “May 17, 2009
(National day of Norway) Oslo was decked with gloriously sunny weather.
Children’s parades were fanning out towards the palace. I smiled and
waved to my son Aiden... But the terrible feeling I had in my guts was
in total contrast to the jubilation which I found myself in.
The war in Sri Lanka was at its final, brutal phase. Tens of
thousands of people had been killed the week before in a bloodbath and
the global media scarcely was concerned with the unfolding drama.
Sri Lankan government had restricted the media covering this area,
and the Tigers had never been concerned about any media attention. The
war took place in secret, and now it was in its final stage, and the
Tamil Tigers rebels’ days were numbered. The Government Forces were
about to make a clean sweep, and had no intentions to spare anyone.”
Finally the terrible (Good) news announced on May 19, 2009; that his
hero ‘The murderer of Rajiv Gandhi’; Pabhakaran had been dispatched!
Peace process in Sri Lanka
I suspect that Solheim’s greatest fear was that if Pabhakaran was
netted by the Lankan Forces he would spill the beans as to how terrorism
was financed by the Norwegians?
So if I were you I wouldn’t sleep soundly just yet Solheim!

Thorbjørn Jagland |
Solheim informs ‘Tens of thousands of people were killed the week
before in a bloodbath’ and if so where is the proof? Indeed Germany
under WWII had gassed millions of Jews, but the hardest part was getting
rid of the evidence. And the Nuremberg tribunal brought out. Such a
clean-up job would take a few battalions to execute.
Under the caption “Jagland’s destructive ego”, Solheim qualifies that
the ‘peace process in Sri Lanka was properly started only after Jagland
and the Labor left the government after the elections of 2001’.
“Another precondition for the peace process in 2001, paradoxically
enough, was the change of government in Norway. Vollebæk had started the
peace process in 2000, Thorbjørn Jagland brought it to a complete
breakdown in 2001, but after the elections in the autumn 2001, Jan
Petersen was able to pick it up again.”
Bizarrely enough, he keeps the name of Bondevik totally under wraps;
though he was the Prime Minister and the Prime Planer and initiator of
the whole gambit!
Solheim scorns Thorbjørn Jutland’s style “for he had a dangerous
belief that a person without knowledge can go into an area and make a
difference.”
Indeed “He travelled to Sri Lanka as a Foreign Minister and was there
for 13 hours in June 2001. It was the only time he was there, both
before and since. Jagland had no significant knowledge of Sri Lanka and
the peace process, but believed that he mastered the issues totally.”
Solheim further argue that “Jagland both stabbed his own (Norwegians)
in the back, creating fuss in trying to make peace. The reason was that
Jagland made an agreement with the Sri Lankan government without
involving the Tamil Tigers.”
One is bound to question ‘pray what is the great knowledge Solheim
had by comparison, except what the Tamil Catholics and Arne had
instructed him.’ If the truth be told, Jagland was not carrying any
secreted baggage as Bundavik and his side kicks Solheim and wesborge
did. Jagland was not waging a holy war in the name of some fictional
God; he was simply going by the labor party values of equal opportunity
for everyone. Besides he was not made aware of the Catholic Eelam as
being the ultimate target. Surely you can’t blame the man for what he
does not know.
Question is; what is it Jagland and the Norwegians at large, was
totally unacquainted with?
In order to get a peek at one of the most elaborately hatched plots
of the last century; one must dive into the below given report
commissioned by WAPS. In that sense it is a good indicator of what
Solheim’s book does not say, and justify the book’s vagaries; but above
all why Jagland’s is being blamed for the failed ‘peace quo’!

Indeed the timing of Helgesen’s historical arrival on the (January
24, 1999) to Colombo was impeccable, in many ways than one. The Tamils
propaganda onslaught had got the sympathy of the whole Norwegian nation
by the 1990s. The murder of Indian Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi by LTTE
terrorist was fast fading in to gray from the global and specifically
Indian memory.
Occupying the presidential chair in Sri Lanka was Chandrika
Bandaranaike Kumaratunga. She was rotten to the core. Surrounded by a
bunch of ‘yes men’ who were not second to her, in dumbness! Her regime
was infiltrated by LTTE supporters and appeasers.
Then that once upon a time gunrunner of Jaffna, Jon Westborg was
occupying the Norwegian Ambassador’s chair in Colombo.
http://www.asiantribune.com/oldsite/show_news.
Interestingly, we find the biggest Quisling of all time; Ranil
Wickremasinghe has taken the centre stage in Sri Lanka, as its incumbent
Prime Minister.
The Catholic action controlled English news in Lanka was working hand
in glove with the UD, and blocked factual information from reaching the
Lankan’s ears. They never disclosed that a total propaganda war has been
initiated against Lankans by Norway. Kumar Rupasinghe should bear
witness to this as he was one of the propagandists at the time.
On the other hand, Sri Lankans believe that the whole Norwegian
nation were the culprit for their terrorists troubles. Nothing was
further from the truth.
The real characters behind this game of smoke and mirrors did not act
overtly in the world at large. The plotters wish to show the world that
the whole Norwegian nation acted as a monolithic whole, vis a vis,
Jaffna Tamils. Indeed they projected an illusion that there were no
individuals pulling strings, but the whole of Norway acted in unison.
In fact, those who had hatched this scheme could be counted by one’s
fingers. Here I am specifically speaking of, Kjell Magne Bondevik, Erik
Solheim, Jon Westborg, and last but not least Arne Fjotoft.
Kjell Magne Bondevik
Kjell Magne Bondevik comes out as the adhesive for the whole gambit.
He created opportunity, gave direction and got a podium for the
conspirators and got them the funds. Now he had melted away and acts as
if he was disassociated.
Erik Solheim
Erik had such high regards for this mass murderer and hero worshiped
him.He informs he first was a Christian, but then lost his faith, and
later has found it again.
Can we point to any qualifications whatsoever that gives Erik an edge
to carry out his intricate facilitation job? Without his Jaffna Tamil
Catholic advisers, he would be one dead politician as he subsequently
has become!
Jon Westborg
He was former Ambassador to Sri Lanka (1996-2003) seven years, and
then Ambassador to India (2003-2007) four years.
Jon Westborg
Wiretap one: Norwegian Ambassador Jon Westborg and Pulidevan from the
LTTE.In this wiretap the ambassador gives information about the
communications equipment and informs him that the Norwegians will pay
for the added cost. This reveals a discussion between Westborg and
Pulidevan about the transmission equipment that has been “dealt with and
explained and arranged with Bradman Weerakoon.”
A total of six tons of equipment was delivered to the LTTE in 2002
including V-Sat equipment used in satellite communications. Westborg
specifically instructs Pulidevan to send the fax direct to his residence
at Gregory’s Road and not to the embassy.
We know that Bondevik was a man ‘lacking in values’, and Solheim was
a ‘babe in the woods’, so how should we qualify Jon Westborg.
But without Bondevik he would still be running guns to terrorists.
Here the plot thickens.
Westborg was a rarity in the Norwegian foreign service. Indeed
Bondevik had a special use for him; as a go between, him and Prabhakaran,
which propelled this unqualified ‘Holier than thou’ character, to grab
the Ambassadorial chair in Colombo, for Norway.
Arne Fjotoft
Now this man was above the rest of riffraff and he is ‘as slippery as
an eel’.
We have to assume that, when he entered Sri Lanka in 1967 his puritan
attitudes must have been dominating. Here we find common ground with
Bondevik, which is to say; to disperse of ‘the good values and morals’
to heathen in Lanka.
Under the circumstances the following points are indisputable, and
can be recognized as facts.
* Kjell Magne Bondevik, Jon Westborg, Erik Solheim and Arne Fjotofts
were comrades in arms, knew each other well, and were covering each
other’s backs, and were Christians to boot.
* They were in cahoots with the Catholic Tamils and conspired to
destroy the Sinhalese Buddhists nation.
Jon Westborg and Arne Fjotoft knew the mass murderer Prabhakaran
personally. And had running contacts with him. Now comes a more vital
point which does not come under the category of facts but it will in,
time to come. The surprising thing is that no one saw this connection.
The tsunami hit Killinochi on December 25, 2004.
How can Pabhakaran survive in an underground bunker when the whole
area was inundated with water?
So the real question is; was he in Mullaitheevu at all? In fact, was
he in Sri Lanka when Tsunami hit Killinochchi on December 25, 2004?
According to some private intelligence that I am sitting with, when
Tsunami hit Mullaithu, Prabhakaran was in Oslo, spending his Christmas
with Westborg and other Christian conspirators. Further The Island had
reported that, an expensive coffin “for a top LTTE leader” had been
smuggled into a northern Tiger area inside a container carrying relief
for tsunami survivors.(The expensive coffin information was leaked for
good reason)
Indeed UD needed the time to get terror Boss back to Mullaithu
incognito or conspirators will be exposed in Norway. And in order to
smuggle him back they needed at least three weeks.
Accordingly they drew up a game plan. LTTE bought an expensive coffin
from Colombo and acted as if they were going to bury an important LTTE
member. They never told who this important person was, and it is still a
secret who that person was? Everybody assumed that it was Prabhakaran.
Indeed a red herring had been conjured up by Prabhakaran to divert
Lanka’s attention, and keep them suspended in limbo, so they wouldn’t
trigger an investigation.
Now if we connect up the dots, we get a clear view of the smoke and
mirrors.
Erik Solheim, Kjell Magne Bondevik, Jon Westborg and Prabhakaran must
have agreed by 2000 or there about, that they coordinate and cooperate
their activity in order to gain a Eelam in Sri Lanka.
By December 5, 2001 these basic conditions were in the bag.
Then in keeping to the ruse, LTTE announced a unilateral ceasefire on
December 19. Ranil follow suit with a month-ceasefire from December 24,
2001. Accordingly, on December 27, 2001, Ranil gives a call to Kjell
Magne Bondevik, and officially requests the Royal Norwegian Government (RNG)
to recommence its facilitator role. Thus the great game of ‘illusion’
has been set in motion.
There were six rounds of talks and Lankan dolts were waiting with
anticipation for a positive outcome:
1.) September 16-18, 2002 - Sattahip, Thailand
2.) October 31—November 3, 2002—Rose Garden Hotel, Thailand
3.) December 2-5, 2002 —Oslo, Norway
4.) January 6-9, 2003 —Rose Garden Hotel, Thailand
5.) February 7-8, 2003 — Norwegian Embassy, Berlin
6.) March 18-21 - Hakone, Japan
On April 21, 2003, without any how do you do, LTTE announced its
withdrawal from direct talks.
In hindsight we can see that Prabhakaran and Kjell have been playing
a game of brinkmanship with the GOSL. They must destabilize the Sri
Lankan state and frustrate the locals, for reasons best known only to
them.
Uncle Tom Ranil implicitly trusted Kjell as he has secured to him the
position of the Deputy Leader in the Christian Union. He also had been
promised the Nobel Peace Prize once Eelam was in the box. I very much
doubt if Kjell and Pabhakaran ever trusted Ranil with the real game
plan.
Moving on with plan, on February 22, 2002, Ambassador Jon Westborg
acting as go between for Prabhakaran and Ranil signed an agreement.
Kudos for Bondevik.
By then Bondevik and co. was working intensively to get a whitewash
done for LTTE and get its ‘terrorists’ identification, expunged. This in
turn would inspire EU members to extend recognition of LTTE terrorists
as a ‘non terrorists’ outfit. Everything UD was doing then had a purpose
at that point. For once LTTE terrorist’s epitaph was removed, LTTE
automatically gains respectability. This in turn would open up the
possibility to seek a mandate from UN for invading Sri Lanka similar to
what France executed in Libya.
From here on we have to make some educated guesses as to what part
each of these shifty characters contributed for the success of operation
‘Eelam’.
Main functions of Bondevik
Exclusive priority was given by Kjell to put in place ‘a niche’ in
the foreign ministry to deal with the peace facilitation in Lanka. He
grants his pal Solheim the position of ‘The Chief peace facilitator’.
Obviously all of the vital positions in the niche organization were
filled by trusted Christian cronies. With the formation of SLMM these
facilitators get a mandate to destabilize the island from within.
In fact this ‘niche’ was a ‘government within a government’ within a
government. No transparency, no accountability no responsibility was
ever stipulated, including from the foreign office auditing.
Main functions of Westborg
Westborg’s main job was as being in liaison with the terrorist Boss
Pabhakaran. He also should use the secret founds in cash (in rupees) to
bribe strategic secret operations and buying strategically placed
bureaucrats. This money may have found its way to the coffers from the
covert Sri Lankan Eelamists as well as secret Norwegian founds.
(As soon as it was confirmed that Prabhakaran was a ‘has been’
Westborg was sitting pretty with tons of RS. Using those resources he
has bought among other things a 75 perch plot in the Victoria Golf Club
at Rs 150,000 a perch. Now I am a member of Victoria Golf Club so I know
this for a fact.)
Now ‘Eelam’ should have been ‘a fait accompli’ before 2005,
Westborg as the Ambassador in Sri Lanka could not be prolonged in
Lanka now (seven years), so he got him the ambassadorship of India
next(four years); this in order to keep him as liaison to have an a open
line to Pabhakaran.
Then we find nature ‘the weather God’ giving a helping hand to the
Sri Lankan people. For we find:
May 2003 – Country’s worst-ever floods leave more than 200 people
dead and drive some 4,000 people from their homes.
March 2004 – Renegade Tamil Tiger Commander, known as Karuna, leads
split in rebel movement and goes underground with his supporters.
Then the LTTE Chief realizes he has to go back to square one; which
is the suicide bombings, assassinations, and intimidation of the Lankan
people. And in:
July 2004 – Suicide bomb blast in Colombo – the first such incident
since 2001.
December 2004 – More than 30,000 people are killed when a tsunami,
massive waves generated by a powerful undersea earthquake, devastate
coastal communities. 1/3 of terrorist carders were swept away. Post
tsunami Bondevik’s power was ebbing fast and he lost his control of the
Eelam project by 2005. Mahinda Rajapksa was declared President on
November 19, 2005 after winning the elections.
Ranil Wickremasinghe’s hope for victory were effectively dashed when
the LTTE ordered Tamil voters, most of whom would likely have voted for
him, to boycott the polls. Why? I believe Norway and LTTE expected to
get Eelam before the 2005 election, but Ranil has not done his bit. So
Prabhakaran told the Tamils not to vote. Indeed by 2005 we find that
Bondevik has lost his position as Prime Minister and by 2007 he was
fighting to keep his name clean.
Hence the closure by the LTTE of the sluice-gates of Mavil Aru on
July 26, 2006 Prabhakaran thought the EU nations would come to his aid.
Perhaps they would have like to but dare not, as China and Russia was
looking over their shoulders.
Mavil Aru was a crucial turning point in the Sri Lankan terrorists
War. By 2007 things look bad for the creators of Eelam and the UD
coordinator, for they lost control of the fast deteriorating situation.
China and Russian evolving as world powers and the Rajapaksa brothers
had taken the reins of power by 2005, and the conspirators came up
against a granite wall. Under the circumstances I would wish to ask this
glorious peace facilitator Solheim just one question; Was the terrorist
Boss Prabhakaran in Oslo with Hans Westborg when Tsunami hit Sri Lanka,
(on December 25, 2004)?
Simple no, yes or do not know will suffice! And if this is a fact
then the whole report becomes factual!
