MAJORITY CAUSED EASTER BOMBINGS

 

My attention was drawn to Nikkei Asia’s article Sri Lanka's ‘Catholics 'can't accept' new Easter bombing inquiries’.

As per this article:

‘The appointment of new committees to investigate Sri Lanka's deadly Easter Sunday bombings in 2019 has not satisfied the country's Catholic Church or families of the victims, who say the probes lack independence.

Is it just to expect independence from a politicians who were elected by the very people who celebrate victory over the deaths of fellow Sri Lankans in 2009 war? Was Britian’s channel 4 independent of majority approval of British viewers when  it produced the documentary ‘Sri Lanka’s Killing Fields’? This documentary was first broadcast on 14 June 2011.The Easter bombings happened on  21 April 2019. If the producers had been independent of majority force, they would have discovered the truth which would have spread itself ro all seekers.

As per the article:

‘Fernando noted that, according to the whistleblower allegations in the documentary, police officers, Criminal Investigation Division (CID) officials, intelligence agents and politicians may have been involved. As a result, he said there would be concerns about the impartiality of any local committee.’

 All officers of the government have ‘positions’ that involve certain degree of Administrative commitment. Unless there has been action taken against them for being political, one has no right to, without objectively measurable (i.e. independent) evidence,  accuse them of wrongdoing. If indeed they were political, why did Mr Wickremesinghe who was then Prime not initiate disciplinary action against them? One is entitled to conclude that these are just comments and not ‘facts’ that have truth in their altar.

 

As per the article:

‘a documentary aired this month by Britain's Channel 4 has reopened the wounds, claiming the bloodshed was part of a sinister plan involving the powerful Rajapaksa family and their allies in the security forces. The allegation is that there was a plot to help the Rajapaksas return to power after losing the 2015 presidential election to Maithripala Sirisena. Just days after the attacks, Gotabaya Rajapaksa announced his candidacy, vowing to strengthen national security. He went on to win the election.

 

The timing is a fact. But what is the Truth in that fact?

 

By getting majority vote, Mr Rajapaksa confirmed that majority voters wanted a military President to strongly discipline and/or punish rebelling minorities. The same ‘people’ dismissed him through protests. They thus accept that they – the people did not believe in their vote in 2019.

 

Likewise, in 2015 when they elected Mr Sirisena as President. Mr Sirisena was weak politically as well as Administratively. He confirmed this by initiating the Constitutional crisis in 2018. This would have led to serious damage to our Administrative structure. Hence it was easy for rebels to attack.

 

Majority vote from voters driven by the physical, frees the people from the regulated pathway of the law. Thus the people share the changing surface memory with the person they elect. Unless that elected person has a mind of her/his own, the voters practice direct rule. Hence the reaction to Britain’s reporting as if it is the truth in the altar.

 

Every victim has the capacity to discover why s/he suffered. That experience is the Truth and its realisation is the cure for the pain. The problem of the dead is for the living. Suicide bombers’ brains are ‘washed’ that they are martyrs. The local minded martyr would have opposed Sinhala majority and the global minded martyr would have opposed Christian majority.

 

‘According to Sri Lankan government officials, all eight suicide bombers involved in the attacks were Sri Lankan citizens associated with National Thowheeth Jama'ath (NTJ), a local militant group with suspected foreign ties, previously known for attacks - Wikipedia

 

The then President Mr Sirisena made statements to the effect of begging ISIS to leave his country alone:

 

‘Leave my country alone, Lankan President Sirisena to ISIS chief Baghdadi’ – India Today

All these confirm that Sri Lankan voters elected Presidents of their liking. Likes and dislikes have no natural governance power. Truth of the individual has. When it spreads itself laterally, it becomes space based global truth. When it spreads itself vertically, it  becomes time based invisible sharing of truth. Religion/Culture based suicide bombings confirm that traditional powers are stronger than current powers of democracy and hence they merge in death.

Sri Lanka is claimed as a Buddhist country by majority politicians. This would naturally invoke its equal opposites in other religions. When they are suppressed they resort to living in the past. Hence they literally kill the present in both.

In the case of the Hon Rajiv Gandhi, who was a Hindu, an atheist killed a leader who was elected by majority power of Hindus.
