Despite the hallucinations that most of
the sycophants in the Regime may display, by pretending to be patriotic and
nationalistic, they have been very craftily cultivated by the Rajapaksa brand
of careful obfuscation, to befuddle clarity in thought. The latest being the cunning
ricochet of “the UNHRC team to SL issue” to Parliament, so the parties voting against
the GOSL are seen as being anti national if the UNHRC presence is welcome! A clearly
erroneous presumption.
For a Govt. which effectively forced the
UNHRC vote by pure intransigence, because it realized that it would be MORE politically
acceptable, to continue to play that game, and repeat the formula in putting to
Parliament, whether the investigating team should be allowed in or not is plain
mischievous and deceptive.
I have always maintained that the perfidy
of the GOSL has been a hallmark of this administration, and the fact that the Intelligentsia
have embraced it hook line and sinker is what is most alarming, as it goes to the
core of the lack of concern of these supposed thinkers for the welfare and rights
of the majority of peace loving citizens of Sri Lanka. (Its OK if the masses have
been fooled as that is not that much of a hard task, until we are able to improve
the level of education)
I don’t understand
why I have to repeat myself ad nauseam to the reader that, once the hostilities
were over, a magnanimous peace would have set in, with a level of rights for all
the people in Sri Lanka, irrespective of race, that unified this Country in one
swoop, that could have removed the 13th Amendment(disbanded Provincial
Councils), while at the same time retaining the 17th that would have
ensured the checks and balances in Rule, and we would not have had the need for
periodic elections, and instead used all the resources, private and public to develop
our Country, without foreign interference, and with NO Diaspora threat or pressure.
This result would have shown how bankrupt
the GOSL was, and they, due to the lack of developmental policies that would trickle
down to the poor, would have now been history, and be replaced by the rule of law
and real security. We would not have crime escalation, bribery, drug abuse, unauthorized
firearm proliferation, environmental and related wasteland it has now created, and
the militarization of the Country. I could add areas like the destruction of the
education system and health for good measure, but I would like the reader to really
consider the “What might have been scenario”, which I would rather we were now living
in.
We have actually lost 5 years but we can
claw back some if we first remove GOSL
Too right. Put simply the GOSL has replaced the LTTE as the worst terrorist outfit, even putting the LTTE to shame in some of its intrigues and duplicity.
