Tamil Nation –
another Limuria?
Many of us identify nepotism as a huge
problem in Sri Lanka. One such victim is Mr Gotabhaya Rajapaksa. If the
Rajapaksa family had not nationalised its own cultural order Mr Gotabhaya
Rajapaksa would have no reason to be anxious. To artificially go from local
Sinhala only to global America is like having bipolar disorder.
An American of Sri Lankan origin wrote as follows in this
regard within a ‘boys only’ forum into which a couple of us girls have been
admitted – largely as observers:
[A
few of my good schoolboy friends think Gota ought to be "executed";
some think he did a great job in making Colombo look a clean spanking city, a
sort of Switzerland of the tropics, but Orwellian with "white vans",
much like Omar Bashir of Sudan, whose Janjaweed horsemen
committed genocide in Dafur.
But if at some point, the US
decides to prosecute him for murder of Lasantha, just as they did with
President Noriega of Panama for drug deaths, the game is over for him. I am
told he also faces charges of corruption over the Ukraine MIG aircraft deal and
the offshore illegal armory he sponsored. Serious allegations.
……
One thing you must know about
Sri Lankans. It is that they are a "revengeful people" (not my
words). They also believe in "guilt by association". Be mindful
of such observations made by distinguished Sri Lankan legal eagles.]
That is the picture of Mr Gotabhaya Rajapaksa as
seen by Americans of Lankan origin. If there is at least some Americanism in Mr
Gotabhaya Rajapaksa he would identify with this and be warned. The above person
is highly educated and is much more
American than Mr Gotabhaya Rajapaksa. His cleverness is shared more with
educated Sri Lankans. Since both sides to the Sri Lankan war chose to take
higher positions than the educated amongst them – they limited themselves to ‘tribal
laws’. This was confirmed by Mr Mahinda Rajapaksa – reported as follows:
[“It was about March
2006 when Mr. Solheim came to see H.E. after he became president and had also
said, in the midst of other things: ‘Prabhakaran is a military genius. I have
seen him in action etc., etc. to which the President had responded: ‘He is from
the jungles of the North. I am from the jungles of the South. Let’s see who
will win!’]
LTTE
Eastern Commander Karuna’s assessment was reported as follows:
[However, his (Solheim’s) assessment
of the LTTE leader by all means seems to be correct. He had said; “There was
lack of vision on the part of Prabhakaran. He had a violent response for every
issue’ while pointing out ‘except for Anton Balasingham, nobody else within the
LTTE had international exposure. The downfall of the LTTE was due to an
isolated war lord sitting there basically taking all the decisions not based on
proper information’.
This statement on the LTTE leadership was
vindicated by another statement made last week by one time Prabhakaran’s second-in-command,
former Deputy Minister Vinayagamoorthi Muralitharan alias Karuna Amman during
an interview with the Indian Express when he had reportedly said; “Prabhakaran
was a good man, but he had no knowledge of globalisation.”]
Now that Prabhakaran is no longer in the scene, but
the ‘victory’ was being used to ‘capture’ international status by the Rajapaksa
brothers – including Gotabhaya Rajapaksa, international players seem to be playing the Sri Lankan game. Had ‘closure’
happened in 2009 – the above threat to Gotabhaya Rajapaksa would not have
become a reality. Many Army officers were posted as Ambassadors to confirm the
military leadership of the Rajapaksa Family. That ought to have alerted the UN.
The above American highlights this as follows:
[Renouncing
US citizenship means nothing, though an opportunistic and ungrateful act by
Gota. Los Angeles Sri Lankans ought to kick his ass for such an unpatriotic act
- and issue a public statement.
But
it will not save Gota from the long arm of the law, of US extra-territorial
reach.
The
latest has been El Capo, the notorious drug lord and murderer, now facing death
sentence in an American Court. (America
is the real ICC, with apologies to the late Justice Christie Weeramantry.!)
America
today has legal overreach, just as it has overreach to dominate global finance.
It can turn on the screws on just about anybody on the planet……
So
please, please Gota, don't try to mess around with the US, even though you give
up US citizenship. Your buddies in Los Angeles will not come to help you. They
would fear that they too would be branded with hot coals and deported to Sri
Lanka!
But
America can sit on its hands and wait. You, your brother MR and family might
all be swept away in a populist mass uprising, and assassinated. Sri Lanka has
the highest political assassination rate (2 1/2, one Prime Minister and 1 1/2
Presidents assassinated!).
The
trigger point for all this would be a sudden collapse of your economy - with
people dying of starvation, them roasting in unrelenting extreme heat and
temperatures, and unclean drinking water, and general lack of basic needs.]
The
above applies also to the supporters of militants who would not hesitate to
destroy civil governance structures to show off their military might. To the
extent we have used the UN to criticize the Sri Lankan government and not our
side to the war – we would lack the courage to prevent another war. Take for
example – SBS reporters Mr
Raymond Selvaraj and Mr Kulasegaram Sanchayan who won the NSW Premier’s award
for their report "Untouchables
amongst us". Their report was based on India’s caste system and not
Northern Sri Lanka’s. If they are Tamil Nationalism supporters – then as per
their mind structure – the then junior castes have now become senior due to
their military might. In other words the caste problem in Northern Sri Lanka is
swept under the carpet.
The reality in Thunaivi – a toddy tapper village’ is that they
have become laws unto themselves. Just yesterday, I said to our coordinator
whose family is of toddy tapper origin but has chosen to live in multicultural part
of Vaddukoddai – to not give recognition to the folks in Thunaivi breaking open
the lock to enter our temple grounds to celebrate New Year in the night! I said
to her that they would not do it in our presence and since we cannot correct
them of their habits of invasion – to ignore the breaches but to just replace
the locks. Those who want the military out of North – need to first develop an
internal defence force of urban standards and not of jungle standards. Until then I have to not
take my earned position there to live in our cottage in the temple premises. To
my mind, the militancy has empowered junior castes to think they are equals or
seniors to the educated class. All those who ignore the deeper reasons for the
war – are contributing to such ‘takeovers’ – largely towards quid pro quo recognition
within the Diaspora.
Mr
Kulasegaram Sanchayan for
example asked Mr Madhava Gopal who
claimed to have heard the voice of the sages – whether Mr Gopal had seen a
psychiatrist regarding bi-polar disorder (at 12:20 - https://www.sbs.com.au/yourlanguage/tamil/en/audiotrack/tamil-vedham-more-four-million-years-old
)
I was actually classified as a
mentally ill patient after Magistrate Pat O’Shane heard my trespass matter.
Eventually Magistrate Pat O’Shane confessed to suffering from bi-polar
disorder. To my mind, I also contributed to that confession, through my Truth.
It happened because Ms Pat O’Shane, like Mr Rajapaksa was a dual citizen and
not a common citizen like myself.
In his evidence to Court headed
by Magistrate Pat O’Shane, our son Pradeep included the following in support of
me:
‘…….It is truly shameful that a person who
has stood by their principles is being humiliated in this manner. My mother,
Mrs. Paramasivam, has been uncompromising in maintaining her honesty, and it is
disheartening to see her being punished for this. Whilst, being family, I would
blindly support my mother, in this instance I do not need to be blind, because
being aware of the matter, it is clear that she has been treated unjustly. She
has my full support and admiration,
simply because she has her integrity.’
The above happened in 2005. The
higher judgment came in 2012:
[A study in 2012 by Michael Eburn
and Ruth Townsend of the Australian National University College
of Law examined 56 Supreme Court appeals
of cases heard before O'Shane between 1999 and 2012. Of the 56 appeals, 35
(62.5%) were upheld. Of the 16 criminal cases included, 14 appeals were upheld.
Eburn and Townsend wrote: "The Supreme Court has found that O'Shane had
got the law wrong in 14 out of the 16 criminal cases ... In one case she
dismissed a charge even though the accused had entered a plea of guilty." Supreme
Court judges criticised O'Shane for "denying the prosecution procedural fairness," and "failure to
comprehend the basis of the prosecution case or the evidence before her, use of
intemperate language and making numerous errors of law."
Eburn and Townsend compared the records of two other magistrates with similar
experience and found only eight and nine appeals against them respectively. They
called for O'Shane's resignation.]
The above confirms that Magistrate Pat O’Shane
lacked the authority of law to punish me
When we make statements on the basis of our feelings they are
like Affidavits. When we use hearsay – that is hallucination. Those who lack
depth that comes from research as to why something happened – but gamble with
what happened – end up hallucinating. If we lack the experience – we need to
not ‘judge’
If
Mr Sanchayan is in support of a Tamil Nation within Sri Lanka – then he would
appreciate that Mr Gopal was referring to Limuria which according to the reports
currently available was British Indian
Ocean Territory. This means that that particular land did exist before British
arrival and even though it is not
visible now – it was an independent territory. This means also that those who do believe Mr Gopal would
access the power of Limuria and therefore be Equal citizens within the lands
like Sri Lanka – so long as they believe they are currently Tamils. The
parallel of that is my son’s belief in me – which contradicts the public
records registered by Australian authorities – including the ones who rewarded
Mr Sanchayan. In contrast the highest recognition I received here in Australia
was nomination by Australian Hindu Council as a Gargi Awards finalist. The
question is who made the greater contribution to multicultural Australia?
Truth
is eternal and my sacrifices here in Australia
have helped me in sharing my wisdom with the needy in Sri Lanka who are being
cheated by both sides to the bipolar war which was escalated to global level to
win locally. A friend of mine whose immediate family member does suffer from
bipolar disorder stated that such folks would think they were powerful enough
to achieve anything when they are in their highs and when they are in their
lows they would think they cannot do anything. Truth is realized when we
recognize both at the foundation level and thereafter have no fear nor desire –
just peace in negative outcomes and bliss in positive outcomes.
