BRING YOUR REBELS WITH YOU

OUR REFUGEE-IMMIGRATIONPOLICY

 

‘The Albanese government has granted 860 Palestinians trapped in Gaza with temporary visas since the outbreak of Israel's war against Hamas on October 7.

According to a report from the ABC, the cohort have been issued with visitor visas which would allow them to remain in the country for between three and 12 months.’ Sky News

‘India’s government has long accused Canada of a lax attitude towards those who want to establish a Sikh state, known as Khalistan, in northern India. Canadian Khalistanis blew up an Indian airliner in 1985.’ The Economist

‘The family's wish to stay in Australia has been supported by some members of the Biloela community as well as refugee and asylum seeker advocates. Anthony Albanese , Prime Minister of Australia has supported granting permanent residency to the family, stating "These people should be settled here in Australia. It won't undermine the government's migration policies. It will simply say that this is a government that is prepared to listen to what the community are saying and saying so strongly"’ Wikipedia

 

All of the above confirm a common motive in recruiting refugees from war-affected rebel communities. The message to these communities is ‘stay within your own rebel communities, under your de facto government. This is fair on the basis of belief, which confirms a fundamental right to self-govern.

But it also alienates law-abiding citizens from these communities . Recognising multi cultures within the same community is a big challenge for mainstream citizens.

During the early periods, refugee-migrants generously support their own communities in their motherlands. But with time, those in motherlands takeover power and alienate the members of the diaspora and there is conflict between the two groups. This was confirmed in Canada, where I was once asked by a florist to speak in Tamil!

Eventually, they takeover Political leadership of their respective communities and marginalise those who abide by the official law.  The system of law practised by us confirms our common path. The closer it is to global laws, the stronger the binding power of the community.

WITH CONSENT OR WITHOUT CONSENT?

As per my understanding of Lawful Australian mind sexual pleasure enjoyment between consenting adults was right. One of the recent hearings was about a Sri Lankan cricketer in Australia.

I thought about it when I was in respect to Optus service when each staff member had her/his own interpretation of due process in Refund process. I sought a refund due to my feeling of being misled in terms of the new package. There were features that I did not need, but was being charged for. My expectations were based on my own standards. Accordingly, I would have brought the customer’s need as mine and then tailored the service. Then there is no requirement for consent.  In the absence of such oneness, consent of the customer is expressly required.

When we are bound by the same laws/culture, the level of  natural consent is high.

 

Recently, a member of alumni social group  stated in a discussion  about Hindu faith:

 [I prefer to be rational and do not believe in blind faith.]

 

I responded as follows:

‘This means we should not have jury judgments. Most members of the jury lack knowledge of secular law. They use their own beliefs to confidentially work out whether one is guilty or not guilty as per their belief applied by being blind to any external law. Hence Lady Justice is blind. When we believe, our judgment is perfect. Hence the requirement ‘beyond reasonable doubt’ in criminal cases. Reasonable doubt margin is allowed for the use of law one does not believe in.’

 

Belief confirms absolute consent.  In the case of Optus, there was an indicator  which helped me appreciate why the I felt ‘cheated’. It happened through the following news report:

 

‘A strange coincidence’

 

‘At the hearing, Ms Bayer Rosmarin initially defended Optus’ public communications during the outage, running through a timeline of social media posts and interviews she conducted during the day. “When we had the cyber incident, it was the last time the Singtel board was in town, and they were in town again … which was a strange coincidence,” she said. - ‘We didn’t have a plan’: Financial Review report  ‘Optus admits it was caught out’

 

Was that Coincidence or Divine Indicator ? If indeed the lady was ‘running through a timeline of social media posts’ the public was important to her. Singtel board were Outsiders to Australians and they would be more focussed on ‘Business approach’. The two would be in conflict.

 

During the senate inquiry, seated next to the CEO was MD , Networks, Mr Lambo Kanagaratnam of Sri Lankan origin. Majority Sri Lankans believe in religion being the pathway to liberation from the temporary ups and downs in the material world. In Hinduism such liberation is confirmed by ‘Tat Tvam Asi’/ “thou art that”, which mean the truth of the individual owner and the whole that the individual feels part of are One.

 

As a long-term customer, I was entitled to be facilitated with care. Given that I was treated as less, I went into the system again and again and established their weaknesses to get business despite customer dissatisfaction. Once we go into a system through our truth, we learn the truth of the whole, including that of our opposition. This is the way the Optus CEO confirmed that Singtel Board was opposed to her down to earth service.

HONOURING TAMIL ELDER

RAJAVAROTHAYAM SAMPANTHAN

 

I was directed to the interview by Udaruppu’s  Tamil interview of the honourable  C. V. K. Sivagnanam, chairman, Northern Provincial Council of Sri Lanka.

 

 

The thrust was driven by discussion on Face the Nation (Sri Lanka), on 18 October 2023, in which Mr Sumanthiran , a Jaffna MP revealed that a group of Tamil politicians had met Mr Rajavarothiam Sampanthan, about a year ago, asking him to step down.

 

‘Out of the 288 days that the current parliament has sat so far, R Sampanthan was present only for 39 days, that is 13.6%. The total payments made to him for this window is Rs 4 million, for fuel, telephone etc, out of Taxpayers money. Corruption of another kind isn’t it?’

In a nation, which has suffered from ethnic war driven by youth of many ethnic communities such a question confirms the lack of ownership of the problem and therefore the lack of ability to prevent wars. In the above forum, the identity of the participants was transparent. Not so, the member of the public who asked the question.

 

Mr Sumanthiran reacted to the question, due also to his lack of wisdom in Democracy. Successful Democracy is driven by belief in elders. In autocracy, respect for elders is required to be overt. In democracy, this needs to be covert.

Mr Sumanthiran failed this test and thereby confirmed as to why he not able to manifest the power of Equal Opposition, as Mr Sampanthan did. Mr Sampanthan entered parliament in 1977, that established that the Vaddukoddai Resolution 1976 had the blessings of  the god of democracy. In that election, Tamils who were about 12% of the population , became Equal Opposition in National Parliament. This status confirmed that in Truth, those Sinhalese Politicians lost the opportunity to be even Opposition in National Parliament. The reason to my mind, is the demotion of Buddhism from Absolute power to relative power in the constitution made by them for political advantage.  Belief is Absolute power. Wins are relative powers.

 

The Vaddukoddai Resolution 1976 confirmed the Separation of powers between Tamils & Sinhalese. This was natural Power-sharing.  In democracy, the investment in Autocracy  becomes silent power. When a democratically elected person ceases to be democratic, s/he invokes the autocratic power in the Opposition. Hence Vaddukoddai Resolution 1976 was invoked by the group that inserted the finished product of ‘Buddhism foremost’ Autocratic article.

 

The challenges faced by Mr Sampanthan, include the following as presented by Wikipedia:

 

‘Sampanthan and all other TULF MPs boycotted Parliament from the middle of 1983 for a number of reasons: they were under pressure from Sri Lankan Tamil militants not to stay in Parliament beyond their normal six-year term; the Sixth Amendment to the Constitution of Sri Lanka required them to swear an oath unconditionally renouncing support for a separate state; and the Black July riots in which up to 3,000 Tamils were killed by Sinhalese mobs. After three months of absence, Sampanthan forfeited his seat in Parliament on 7 September 1983. Sampanthan served as joint treasurer, vice president and general secretary of TULF.’

 

Tamils who genuinely mourn Black July pain will naturally  consider  Mr Sampanthan to be a Common Sri Lankan Elder. Like Heritages, Elders come with their own balances. Any remuneration to them is submitted as Thanks giving -  so juniors will become heirs. The benefits are not for work done, but for the sacrifices made to maintain Commonness through law.

 

The picture above confirms the challenge faced by Elder the Hon Sampanthan, who supported UNP. If Mr Ranil Wickremesinghe fails to value this Tamil Elder, he would be a sinner without redemption.

CHRISTIANITY & AUSTRALIAN CULTURE

The latest such proposals, worked out by the Australian Law Reform Commission (ALRC), seek to eliminate the exemptions to the country’s discrimination laws which allow religious schools to expel students, fire teachers, and turn down applicants based on their sexuality, relationship status, and pregnancy.  By Augusto Zimmermann, Professor and Head of Law at Sheridan Institute of Higher Education in Australia.

 

The message came to me through a Hindu, who according to my knowledge is a medical expert.  The strongest belief based commonness between us is our belief in the same Spiritual guru. The RNA DNA message through the above diagram, was  written by me last year , in my own belief in karma, presented in lay language as follows:

 

The Corona Virus pandemic happened due to disrespect for the Silkroad global heritage. This heritage is a global elder. In the mind of that elder, in the new form of Belt & Road Initiative (BRI)……..

Like Chromosomes, karma comes in pairs. Like in reproductive cells with one Chromosome, they are effectively singles, separated vertically by depth until they find their matching other side.  When that happens, the latter person becomes the junior of the person with positive karma . There is no reproduction for those with Absolute value of positive karma who are in Nirvana state. The negative side of their karma attracts others who carry negative karma and the latter become natural juniors of the one with positive karma. This happens when the person is true to her/himself. Such a relationship is made in truth. Hence the saying that marriages are made in heaven. Any association of truth is made in heaven.

 

 

As per my understanding, the Medical expert used his scientific knowledge  to demonstrate his reasoning of the connection between religion and secular law.  I used my knowledge of karma to explain the same philosophy.

 

This confirms the importance of belief in common life, so we do not look for external reasoning.  Majority  Australian law makers are of Christian origin. To the extent we seek to be global, we need to be Democratic and therefore adopt Equal Opportunity laws, even though we may lack belief in them.

 

The ‘reasonable doubt test’ allows a margin due to such laws , lacking in belief, but confirm intellectual/scientific  balance. Most scientific theories are used on this basis. Most religious theories that stand the test of time and continue to be practised, are belief based and spread themselves exponentially.

 

Where they are opposed by the official system and are overtly practiced, the power of belief is confirmed. Below is an excerpt from my book Naan Australian confirming this power:

 

 Thinking of all this and planning to write a book on all this as I have been invited to time and time again - so that the Tamil Tigers would not feel that they are the only ones victimized by Western societies and their puppets, I dozed off. During the creative time of the morning Brammah Muhoorthum, I had a vision from Above - that I am to help Muslims and Tamils including those here in Australia. It came through Shridi Baba - the previous incarnation of Sri Sathya Sai Baba, my Spiritual Guru.. Sathya Sai Baba stopped me from going back to Sri Lanka, after I heard Ms Pauline Hanson on ABC’s Four Corners program. Red kungkumum powder - the symbol of Love, appeared on my picture of Him on 05 November 98 - the day the Auditor General’s report confirming my observations about the UNSW Administrative systems was published in the Sydney Morning Herald. Since then I have proven the Auditor General wrong, by using the open and public discussion on Performance Indicators - that they cannot be used in audits because they were management tools. In other words, I have proven that Sri Lankan Accounting fundamentals are far stronger than Australian Accounting fundamentals. They may both look the same. But the real test is through the actual values practiced.

 

When Pauline Hanson was critical of Indigenous Australians I opposed her and through her, Australian racism. I practised the fundamentals of Equal Opportunity principles in strongly adverse/hostile environment. But in the process, I realized that Academics were part of the problem because they lacked belief in their own Christian origin. This led to formation of Academic ghettos, where non-academics were ‘outsiders’.

 

By upholding Equal Opportunity principles , despite their opposition, I gained into the problem they were causing. They clung to their higher status and ‘told’ non academics ‘what to do’. This is a threat in any multicultural environment where traditional values are overridden by immediate benefits.  Belief roots such expectations in Truth.   

I lost most of my court cases for the same reason – that the judges lacked belief in the secular laws they were using and it is very difficult to prove racism in  a nation that is yet to annihilate its racial past that were considered ‘right’ at that time. All those who are driven by Australia’s visible wealth and its apparent status, without belief in those who founded those systems, contribute to ongoing racism.

Belief in our own cultures cures us of the problem of racism and empowers us to identify with multicultural opportunities. We meet then in the destination of One Truth with many names. In my above account, I have highlighted Performance Indicators. Those who believe, would not need proof, because they are natural owners who feel together. Hence Tat Tvam Asi /Thou Art That.

DIFFERENT LOGICS

Condemnation of the attack on Gaza Hospital by those who bombed Puthukkudiyiruppu Hospital is hypocrisy! – M.A. Sumanthiran, MP #Gazabombing #SriLanka #WarCrimes https://srilankabrief.org/condemnation-of-the-attack-on-gaza-hospital-by-those-who-bombed-puthukkudiyiruppu-hospital-is-hypocrisy-m-a-sumanthiran-mp/… via @LankaBrief – by Sunanda Deshapriya

‘Hard to disagree with.’ Alan Keenan

 

‘That is the way hypocrites hide their sins. Gaza experience is the open global version of 2009 war between LTTE and the government forces. Sumanthiran is the parallel of Palestinian politicians who lack power over Hamas’ . Gaja Param

 

The postings were based on Mr Sumanthiran’s speech in Parliament  and published by Sri Lanka Brief, under the heading ‘Condemnation of the attack on Gaza hospital by those who bombed Puthukkudiyiruppu hospital is hypocrisy! – M.A. Sumanthiran, MP

 

In the case of global issues, we lack direct experience. Hence, like the blind men who described the elephant, we describe global conflicts as per our own experiences in our home areas. They would all be true, but not be the global experience.

 

In Chapter 10 of my book, Different Logics for example, I have shared as follows:

 

 

‘Karma is an Absolute power. Positive karma is virtuous and negative karma is demonic. We experienced the latter as Corona virus, which in previous birth was the ‘plague’ in Silk Road. I am not a medical expert. But I have learnt through experience that when we take ‘what happened’ and view it through our belief, we identify with the ‘fact’ we need…….’

Crimea and the Russo-Ukrainian War

1.  The origin of the Black Death is disputed. The pandemic originated either in Central Asia or East Asia but its first definitive appearance was in Crimea in 1347.

2.  Xi originally announced the strategy as the "Silk Road Economic Belt" during an official visit to Kazakhstan in September 2013

3.  In February and March 2014, Russia invaded and subsequently annexed the Crimean Peninsula from Ukraine. This event took place in the aftermath of the Revolution of Dignity and is part of the wider Russo-Ukrainian War…….Once we lose control of an issue, it becomes Universal – beyond time and place. Making these connections would not only strengthen our mind, but also ensure that we would not disturb heritages in our own local environments

 

 

 

Mr Sumanthiran states:

‘Now, when people suffer through violence, it is almost immaterial as to who is responsible for that. Well, it is important to identify the perpetrators, but the point that I’m making is, it  is important, it is urgent, first to bring that suffering to an end; to bring that fighting to an end; to call for a ceasefire.’

 

As per my intelligence of the LTTE, the ceasefire period would be used by both sides to prepare for the next attack.

 

In Mahabharatham, the solution was preached by Lord Krishna at the beginning of the armed war. Lord Krishna did not call for a ceasefire. Lord Krishna urged for Arjuna to fight to preserve Dharma/Righteousness. All of us with war pain, have the opportunity to cure ourselves by experiencing the pain again and thanking all those who helped us cure ourselves. Such cured minds are the vaccines that prevent wars. The solution is hidden in the pain. Those who are not part of the causal force of the war, but experience the pain, experience the cure.

DE FACTO GOVERNMENTS

 

Aa per my understanding, ‘de facto’ means ‘from the fact’.

Fact, as per my understanding is truth with a particular body.  

 

Today, I read the X /  (formerly Twitter) posting by Alan Keenan of International  Crisis Group’s Senior Consultant on Sri Lanka. Keenan’s posting is as follows:

Reading through my Twitter timeline, filled mostly with journalists & activists in Sri Lanka, it’s clear that US policies on Israel & Gaza are doing possibly lasting damage to US govt credibility as an agent of democratic change & proponent of rule of law & a just int’l order.

 

I responded as follows:

 

Rule of law fails with militants who are ready to die for their belief. It is belief v belief sans intellectual frills. Sri Lanka did just that & lost law & order.

 

I learnt about the ‘ownership by belief’ through Sri Lanka’s Prescription Ordinance 22 of 1871. I used this law/pathway, towards evicting an unlawful occupier of my property in Colombo. As I applied the law to my knowledge of what happened. That was my fact at the  level of the opposition who claimed ownership by prescriptive rights. Our claim was dismissed at the Colombo District Court. But I studied the applicable section of the law. With belief and admiration one day I noticed that the address of the opponent in a related matter was not our property but that of the opponent in that matter relating to ‘eviction’ from the said property was one Periyasamy. I cannot read Sinhalese, but my husband can. We won the case in the Court of  Appeal. More importantly, I learnt about the exponential value of belief.

This belief of mine led me to note that the Prescription (Special Provisions) Act, No. 5 of 2016, incluts ded the term terrorists as follows:

AN ACT TO ENABLE SPECIAL LEGAL PROVISIONS TO BE MADE IN RESPECT OF PERSONS WHO WERE UNABLE TO PURSUE THEIR RIGHTS IN COURT FOR THE RECOVERY OF ANY IMMOVABLE PROPERTY INCLUDING LAND DUE TO THE ACTIVITIES OF ANY MILITANT TERRORIST GROUP WHICH PREVAILED IN SRI LANKA AND FOR MATTERSCONNECTED THEREWITH OR INCIDENTAL THERETO WHEREAS certain persons have been disadvantaged and therefore unable to pursue their rights in court for the recovery of any immovable property including land due to the activities of any militant terrorist group during the period commencing on May 1st, 1983 and ending on May 18th, 2009: AND WHEREAS it has now become necessary to enact special legal provisions to enable such persons to pursue their rights in court. BE it enacted by the Parliament of the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka as follows…..

In terms of the current conflict in the Middle East, a Tamil Sri Lankan shared as follows:

the Palestinians , the indigenous inhabitants of Palestine, will never ever give up fighting for their homeland: even though they are aware that the Zionist racists , backed by the US , may not be defeated: the will to freedom cannot be suppressed by force of arms. Therefore there’ll be the ‘massacre of the innocents’ on both sides. The West would always label the freedom fighters as “terrorists” .

 

To my mind, if in a Nation that accepts de facto partnerships as legal, a group declares that it presents itself as the de facto government and it is NOT opposed by majority from within the community, the government & wider world would be wiser to accept such  declaration as a fact, than call them terrorists. In turn, such groups have the responsibility to be bound by the same laws as the official government – including by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) which  is the principal judicial organ of the United Nations.

 

If de facto relationships are workable at family level, they would be workable at National level also. This I believe, would prevent official governments from reacting at the same level as rebels and exponentially spreading lawlessness.

POSITIVE DEVELOPMENT IN NORTHERN SRI LANKA

 At a time when there is turmoil in the Middle East, it was heartening to learn about positive development in Northern Sri Lanka. Pratyangira Trust, Vaddukoddai,  under the able leadership of  Mr Thilagadas  Chandrapal, organised a rally to raise the consciousness of the civil society, about corruption, suicides, and other influences that lead young ones to disorderly behaviour. The trust has strong support of the Tamil diaspora, including in Australia.

The rally commenced at Jaffna College, Vaddukoddai and proceeded to the temple of Mother Pratyangira’s temple at Sangarathai junction.  

 

There is a strong need for social upliftment in areas affected not only by war, but caste-based discrimination over a long period. Some of the work of the trust is in Thunaivi  also.  Work is now underway, to build a new home for the family that lives in this hut:



 

We commend highly the service provided by Mr Chandrapal and his team.
