Since the beginning of the MR
administration in 2005, subject to the successful conclusion of the hostilities,
where one set of citizens of Sri Lanka massacred other citizens of Sri Lanka
(on both sides) and many innocents on both sides suffered untold atrocities as
casualties of the Civil War, (collateral damage) the peace has taken a
direction of WAR, with everything but the use of firearms!
It is time this stops, and the people
perpetuating the current status quo shown the door, and not be accommodated.
Prime amongst them is the JHU, a party with no following nationally but which
makes a noise, far in excess of its following, due to its successful
manipulation of public opinion by the use of cunning, especially in cultivating
the media to their advantage. The media similarly has given Wimal Weerawansa a
similar level of unearned publicity, and I am afraid the President has also contributed
to this state of affairs by tolerating his nonsense and NOT muzzling his
propensity to exercise his vocal chords to rouse the rabble, instead of
applying reason to the arguments. This is a product of his JVP upbringing,
which he has continued to put to use within the UPFA, to the detriment of the Country.
Udaya Gamanpila has used his
intellectual prowess to befuddle the public, and spewing racist dimensions,
cleverly enunciated, has polarized moderates on both sides who are now seeking
solutions in extremes, at the expense of the moderate majority, that has NO
spokesman and who are NOT represented fairly in the political arguments, for
fear of being accused of being in bed with extremism of the kind that is
opposite to the argument that the JHU make.
An electorate NOT taught to use logic to
solve the national problem instead use misplaced passion, and then by the use
of the ballot box confound reason by voting in con artists. I point
particularly to the way in which Gammanpila misused the trust placed on him, by
pretending to run a clean campaign, where as it was probably the least clean of
all, misusing Buddhist precepts as part of the cunning. He has yet to submit
accounts as promised to show that he was just supported by Rs 100 contributors
to run his Rs100M plus campaign, where half the population would have had to
have contributed if that was the case.
It is this simple argument that
contributes to the imbecilic politics that I refer to, as the poor,
unsuspecting elector is presented with an argument that is diametrically
opposed to the reality, which traps him hook line and sinker. We just need to
remove this excreta if we are ever to return to an era of normalcy.
