The Precipitous Decline
in Individual Freedoms has take a turn for the worse with the denial of access
to SL surfers of both Colombo Telegraph and Colombo Page and we do not know
what else as yet!
This means that only
treasonable information is now available, as the Govt. appears to be bent on
destroying this Country. Unfortunately a foreigner is in charge of our Defense,
an US Citizen by the name of Ghotabaya Rajapakse who is playing to the tune of
External influences, and thus denying basic rights to the people of Sri Lanka.
In any other country such
treasonable activity would give rise to the firing squad, but in Sri Lanka the
particular individual appears to be at the head of the stone throwing MOB even
escorting ( by giving security ) those
heathens dressed in Monk robes who were throwing the stones at Private Property
in openly challenging the laws of the nation.
Further succor was given
by a police force fearful of offending the traitor, as they are led by such a
person, throwing the dynamics of Sri Lanka on its head.
It is ironic that we
underwent severe hardship, fought and died to defeat a brutal terrorist group
only to have it replaced by even more of a frightening form of terror, when you
never know who is going to be targeted next, and who will be at the receiving
end of the white van treatment.
As the traditional terror
has been eliminated by a huge presence of security, now the replacement of
terror is by the security forces themselves as there can be no other force that
can carry out such blatant acts of aggression in such a public and worry free
manner.
I do not buy the argument
that is now being made that the Govt. actually caused the current backlash
against all things not Buddhist, so that they can in a short while before the
spark of the inferno is lit, intervene and pretend to the savior of the people
by preventing another 1983 which they will say was a UNP led pogrom against
Tamils, and that they are the answer to such threats, as a UNP Govt. would have
met it by carnage similar to that of 1983.
I believe it is pure and
simple jealousy on the part of impotent people against a very successful
community that has now encircled all forms of commerce and holds the reins
where the sweat and toil of the Sinhala is used by them to the full advantage.
This canard of heaping, the inadequacy of the Sinhala people to help each other
and grow, on non Buddhists is reprehensible and regrettable. It will ricochet back
on the Buddhists to destroy any level of sympathy one has for them.
