What happened in North Korea is quite likely to happen in SL too!!

The Pontificating ruling politicians who think no end of themselves, in Sri Lanka, must realize that they are only a heartbeat away from the same fate that befell the second in command in North Korea, when he fell foul of the leader.    

This poor guy Jang Song the Uncle of the Leader, was just removed in full public view and executed soon after. (we have no idea if he was tortured to give out the secrets, if any, he held – about who else had access to the regime’s dirty secrets)  http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/asia/north-korea-executes-kim-jong-uns-powerful-uncle-jang-song-thaek-9001737.html

When leaders get too powerful, and when absolute power corrupts, those holding some of the evidence of the corruption, who are suspected even slightly of disloyalty in Sri Lanka can get the same treatment, albeit in Sri Lankan style of white van abductions, and a body discovered. It is a sobering thought that this could happen to the closest confidants or even family members, if they are felt to be a threat to the process of authoritarianism.

I am sure we probably have ALL the Ministers in SL quavering not knowing if they will be able to skip town in case of such a pogrom, but they will not realize that till after it happens, as the surprise is the best form of defense (of absolute power) in this instance.  

If history is any guide this is the end result of our type of government, the only question being how soon this will happen. It is only inevitable that the dissent now in private against the regime, will manifest itself in public, and to dissuade others from joining what more frightening method than a notable personage being destroyed right from the pedestal that they have got up to, if they raise the ire of the Ruler. 

This is the classic method as history shows to get rid of threats to power of those who intend to be immortal, not realizing their mortality, and that those who usurp power to totalitarian leanings can only fall. The height of the fall is only limited to how high one wants to go in usurping authority!

If only our leaders realize that their lack of knowledge of history is one where they can remain in total ignorance, not knowing that the fate that will befall them cannot be prevented, by resorting to the occult or horoscope. The latter message as always is wrongly interpreted by those who only wish to believe what they want.
