WHO WROTE BLACK JULY FACT?

 

Today marks the 40th anniversary of Black July, presented as follows by Wikipedia:

 

Black July (was an anti-Tamil pogrom that occurred in Sri Lanka during July 1983. The pogrom was premeditated, and was finally triggered by deadly ambush on 23 July 1983, which caused the death of 13 Sri Lanka Army soldiers, by the Tamil militant group Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE).  Although initially orchestrated by members of the ruling UNP, the pogrom soon escalated into mass violence with significant public participation.

On the night of 24 July 1983, anti-Tamil rioting started in the capital city of Colombo and then spread to other parts of the country.

 

According to  
#BlackJuly
#BlackJuly1983 #tamilgenocide #TamilNation #கறுப்புயூலை1983 #கறுப்புயூலை #Eelam #eelamtamil #TamilNadu

  

The LTTE provided the following  explanation as to why it happened:

 

‘On the basis of 1977 riots, we anticipated some reaction to our action. But we failed to anticipate the extent to which UNP politicians would influence Sinhalese to let loose  racial hatred they had. The 1958 riots were limited to political reasons. The government seemed to want to generate so much fear into  Tamil minds, that the Tamils would not dare to protest. But that was before the armed rebellion’

 

In 2009 also, the Sinhala army raped and demonstrated animal behaviour against Tamils. The LTTE has zero reports of rape but it also has  records of other forms of animal / asura behaviour in a free environment.  There are many accusations of ‘sexual misconduct’ against   football players here in Australia. Yet the game is popular in Australia. Ethics is the backbone of civilisation of a group. The closest word I can think of in Hinduism is Dharma.

 

What induces this animal behaviour which extends beyond war/play area? Excessive victory celebrations.

 

Truth is perfectly balanced. At primary level, where there is right, there needs to be a wrong to complete the circle of relativity. Hence two sides of the coin. At tertiary level, right & wrong are felt by the same person, at the same time. Hence there is no excess. The role of the Opposition in parliament is to maintain zero excess. The greater the excess, the greater the tendency to be animalistic.

 

In the case of Sri Lanka, the ethnic game is often extended beyond parliament, due to lack of discipline in politicians.  Hence, the political follower becomes the animal driven by the parliamentarian.  The LTTE leader confirms this by referring to specific UNP politician Mr Cyril Mathew  & to the then president J R Jayawardene.

 The armed forces punished Sinhala rebels also cruelly. Kataragama beauty queen, Premawathi Manamperi was forced to parade naked and tortured to death. When opposition

is weak, the karma returns to the same side.

Missing on the part of the LTTE was ‘ownership of Colombo’, where the July riots began. If the leader  had felt the pain of Colombo Tamils, as his own, he would have anticipated the pogrom and taken advice from Tamil Politicians, including Mr Appapillai Amirthalingam who was murdered by the LTTE on 13 July 1989. But LTTE ,  its followers  and its supporters, do not observe 13 July as a day mourning. This confirms that they contribute to armed politics and not intellectual politics. The motive of ‘intimidation’ was confirmed by the LTTE leader  as ‘fear factor’.

Given that the LTTE was part of the team that ‘caused’ the 1983 Black July, each time someone blames the causal forces, they blame the LTTE also. That is how Dharma, works. That is the way shown by King Ellalan who punished himself by ordering the execution of his son who killed a calf and caused pain to mother cow. In Equal Justice the law of the causer of the ‘fact’ is the law applied to the victim also – as in measure for measure.

13TH AMENDMENT V VADDUKODDAI RESOLUTION

 

 

Tamil National Alliance ‘categorically rejects’ Sri Lankan President’s offer of 13th Amendment minus police powers - The Hindu

 

The question is whose democratic responsibility is it to write the Sri Lankan Constitution? The obvious answer is ‘Sri Lankans’. So why did India write the 13th Amendment to the Sri Lankan Constitution? It is for the same reason why the USA, came to rescue Sri Lanka through the IMF . In the case of IMF, the global minded younger generation Sri Lankans became the lead-medium that felt the need.

In the case of the 13th Amendment, the pain of Tamils who opposed Sinhala only law, followed by Buddhism ‘foremost’ law, empowered India as per the law of Dharma.

The law of Dharma works as per the laws of Truth. We connect to the Universal Power of Truth, through our own truth.  Hence Buddhists of Sri Lanka, who were true Buddhists, connected to true Buddhists in India. Relative power does not work naturally, beyond its sovereign borders. Truth travels beyond, place and time borders. King Ellalan/Ellra is the Common Governor who built that common Energy bridge between India and Sri Lanka. The following excerpt from mahawansaya.com (Buddhist)confirms this:

 

King Elara

Chola Dynasty | Anuradhapura - (BC 205 - BC 161)



 

Ellalan, (Tamil: எல்லாளன், மனு நீதி சோழன்), (also known as Ellara in Sinhalese, Manu Needhi Cholan, Élaezha Chola and Ellalan the Just), was a Chola king from the Chola Kingdom, in present day South India, who ruled a part of [1] Sri Lanka from 205 BC to 161 BC including [1] the ancient capital of Anuradhapura. Often referred to as 'the Just King'. The Tamil name Ellalan means, 'the one who rules the Ellai (boundary). Ellalan, a Tamil from the Chola country, is traditionally presented as being a just king even by the Sinhalese. The Mahavamsa states that he ruled 'with even justice toward friend and foe, on occasions of disputes at law, and elaborates how he even ordered the execution of his son on the basis of a heinous religious crime. Elara is a peculiar figure in the history of Sri Lanka and one with particular resonance given the ongoing ethnic strife in the country. Although he was an invader, he is often regarded as one of Sri Lanka's wisest and most just monarchs, as highligted in the ancient Sinhalese chronicle Mahavamsa. According to the chronicle, even Ellalan's nemesis king Dutugemunu had a great respect for him, and ordered a monument be built, where Ellalan was cremated after he was slain in battle. http://www.mahawansaya.com/king-in-sri-lanka-king-elara-5.html

 

 

A Sri Lankan who considers King Dutugemunu to be her/his Elder, would naturally invoke Tamil King Ellalan also as an Elder and v.v. Such is the Absolute power of Common Elders.  Hence, to the extent, Tamils, particularly  Hindu Tamils invoke their Ancestors, without expectations of current benefits, we invoke the Common power of Indian government to write laws for Sri Lankan Hindus, as part of the combined region where Common Hindu laws are practiced with belief.

 

Vaddukoddai Resolution 1976, was confirmed to be true in the 1977 National Elections when Tamil Political group, became the Equal Opposition in parliament.

As per the Hindu report:

The Tamil National Alliance (TNA) on Tuesday “categorically rejected” Sri Lankan President Ranil Wickremesinghe’s offer to implement the 13th Amendment sans police powers, terming his proposal for development and power devolution “another hollow promise”.

 

The 13th amendment if implemented with belief in Common Regional power, would result in ‘shared ownership’ at regional level. To the extent we develop ‘common belief’ we would access instantaneously, the Defence Powers of India, which is a Natural Resource available to all common believers in need. TNA would accept the proposal by President and use private security through development work, to promote law and order, in Tamil areas, as we have done in Thunaivi in Vaddukoddai area, where we harmoniously celebrated Aaadi Pooram today, in common with millions of Hindus, Universally, beyond time and place borders. It is a golden opportunity for Sri Lankan Tamils. If missed, TNA would be responsible for future ethnic wars in Sri Lanka.

WHO WROTE THE VOICE?

 

 

‘The Dreamtime is the period in which life was created according to Aboriginal culture. Dreaming is the word used to explain how life came to be; it is the stories and beliefs behind creationhttps://www.aboriginalcontemporary.com.au/

 

Change is the law of the universe. What you think of as death, is indeed life. In one instance you can be a millionaire, and in the other instance you can be steeped in poverty…The body is made of fire, water, air, earth and ether, and will disappear into these elements. But the soul is permanent - so who are you? Contemporary Hindu interpretation of the Bhagavad Gita .

 

The question currently before us Australians is whether there ought to be an indigenous ‘voice’ in Australian Parliament or not ?

 

As per my belief a natural law is a declaration of belief. Belief is a naturally uniting power. Belief based laws  work through indicators. Common believers do not need to prove ‘facts’ in a court of law. Hence the requirement of ‘beyond reasonable doubt test in criminal cases. Laws that are without belief need facts to be proven. The ‘reasonable doubt’ has its base in relativity.

 

I live in the suburb of Coogee, which is an indigenous name.

 

I wrote as follows in my book Different Logics:

 

Victims of unjust discrimination become ‘common’ when they are abandoned.

  Mr Howard lost his seat in 2007, which effectively was a dismissal from Parliament.

In the case of Bali bombings we fail as a nation to take responsibility for our contribution to racism. Coogee’s particular karmas could be identified with, from the following Wikipedia report:

 

1.  The name Coogee is said to be taken from a local Aboriginal word koojah which means "smelly place".

2.  The Aboriginal population had largely relocated by the mid-19th century after being decimated by disease and violent clashes with early settlers, though some Aboriginal people still live in the area today.

3.  The Coogee Pier (1928-1934

4.  In 1924 construction started on an 'English seaside style' amusement pier at Coogee Beach. On 24 July 1928, the pier was officially opened, reaching 180 metres out into the sea complete with a 1400-seat theatre, a 600 capacity ballroom, a 400-seat restaurant upstairs, small shops and a penny (machine) arcade. Unfortunately, Coogee's rough surf damaged the pier and it was demolished in 1934. Lifeguards recently discovered remains of the pier on the ocean floor about 50 metres out from shore.’

 

The above confirms, Coogee karma will be identified with by true owners of Coogee. That to my mind is known as the ‘dream’ in indigenous language. As per Hindu philosophy, truth of an experience is written at that place at that time. That truth is permanent to that place, and those who ‘see’ it , including in their dreams during dreamtime are Elders. Hence we attribute to the owners of the Land.

 

Indigenous Australians are mothers and Migrant Australians are fathers of this Land. Rendering special status to mothers in parliament will not erase our past wrongs, for they have become sins. They are naturally offset by virtues of those who are in the same circle of Energy.

 

The Victorian premier who entered into a special deal with China, over the Belt & Road program, is from the same Energy circle as the PM who proposed ‘The Voice’. The first casualty, as per my insight is the Commonwealth games.

 

The Coogee parallel is in the Appendix.

 

To be self-balancing, the leader  proposing has to be part of the culture. In this instance, Mr Albanese ought be indigenous to have experienced the pain. Observation based thoughts are relative. If the Voice is to be successful, Mr Albanese needs to resign and come back as a representative of Indigenous Australian. One who respects the Dual Citizenship issue would appreciate that one cannot be from Mars & Venus at the same time.  

 

The Sri Lankan President played this Dual Citizenship game and lost his position. Mr Albanese pampered the Tamil family which had the effect of pampering. The global law needed to prevent such political takeovers is to ban Dual Citizenship for all those who apply on the basis of ‘fear of political wars’. That is the law of Truth that an Australian Elder sees. The true refugee will take rebirth in Australia and ‘forget’ the pain of past. Where there are thoughts of pleasure, there is Equal space for pain to enter. Likewise in the case of ‘The Voice’ those migrants who follow the English ancestry.


 

Appendix

 

 

Dear  Agent,

As per Schedule A2 of the agreement between our Coogee View Owners  Corporation and Strata Choice, Strata Choice has the responsibility to:

1.   ‘Prepare administrative and capital works fund budgets’, the charges for which are included in agreed service fee.

2.   Establish and maintain the trust account and financial records.

3.   Prepare statutory reconciled accounts using cash accounting method. 

4.   Prepare administrative and capital works fund budgets

 

 

Motion 2 proposed for the said meeting is:

Ratify motion 7 of the annual general meeting of 7 December 2022 to raise a special levy capital fund’

 

Strata Choice as the Delegated Agent  ought to know of the following requirement of section 79 (5) of  the Act:

‘(5) In estimating amounts to be credited to the capital works fund, an owners corporation is to take into account, anticipated major expenditure identified in the 10-year plan for the capital works fund proposed under this Division.

Aleks, given that the meeting is to approve Capital Works, we the owners need to know how much is needed in total for all Capital Works over 10 years.

 

Taking into account all of the above, and given that the Strata Committee is responsible to act in the interests of owners, please produce in support of Motion 2:

(a)        Ten Year plan on cash basis, for Capital Works of Coogee View. At the end of year 10, we ought to have spent all our monies and hence have zero balance. This is Reverse Depreciation. In Depreciation, the asset value at the end of its lifetime, is zero. This depreciated value is preserved through a ‘Sinking Fund’ which saves enough to replace that asset. The 10 year  Plan is the Budget of the Sinking Fund. If the Plan shows a surplus, it confirms that we are hoarding. If we show negative value, it means we are going bankrupt. In our case we have confirmed ‘hoarding’ which leads to risk of temptation to spend in excess of our needs -for example in roof garden which is an improvement and NOT replacement.

(b)        The certified estimate by an expert that the roof membrane replacement cost is $600,000 plus GST at current cost.

Regards

Gaja

LAWYERS V POLITICIANS

 

Q:  by The Daily Morning : For the most part, a lawyer’s decision to represent a certain client or suspect is judged by the allegations against the suspect. Does a lawyer take into account those allegations when accepting a case?

 

A: by Bar Association of Sri Lanka (BASL) President Kaushalya Nawaratne:  No. Every person is entitled to be heard and represented before a court and is considered innocent until proven guilty. That is a well-established legal principle. There is no question about it just because allegations have been made, and just because the client is a suspect, even if within a popular context.

 

The Public: The lawyer, in most cases, represents for a fee. The fee charged is as per the status of the lawyer.  Hence the ethics of the legal profession has to be strong in terms fees charged.

Q: Is there a code of ethics for lawyers?

A: We certainly have one. We are governed by and are subject to those ethics. These ethics have been accepted by the Supreme Court as well. If one is found to have violated it, penal sanctions would be imposed against them.

The Public: How is one to access the code of Ethics that one’s lawyer is bound by? Most successful litigants get the outcomes they seek and fail to contribute to the improvement  of the court’s system. The litigants who, experience pain of failure, despite following the rules of the system, are the ones whose pain, if unaddressed becomes a permanent wrong that mutates as sin. Sins are beyond human control. It is therefore important to support such litigants to self-represent, if an action is initiated by them against a lawyer.

 

Q: What do you think about the future of the legal profession in Sri Lanka and what changes do you think should be made?

 

…………… We find that in the recent past, many things were said and done in certain domains, especially in Parliament, under the guise of parliamentary privileges. So, these are matters which we will discuss, including in terms of what steps need to be taken to protect the integrity of the legal profession – including those of the members of the judiciary. It is very unprofessional and unwarranted for Parliamentarians to pass comments inside Parliament to which no one has the right to reply. That is something I will take a very firm stance on.

 

The Public: A member of Parliament has the responsibility to speak the truth in Parliament. The right to reply is not with the those outside Parliament, but with other members of Parliament within the sovereign circle of the Parliament. The parallel applies also to the Courtroom where the litigant who is represented by a lawyer has no right to reply. Yet lawyers driven by the urge to win often disregard the litigants. The exceptions I discovered include Mr Harsha Fernando who always took time to hear and include what I had to say. All other lawyers who represented me, lacked listening habits.

As per my discovery, when we express truth the ‘position’ receives it. We may be given failure in court but the value of our truth comes back to us in appropriate form, at the time and in the form of our need. That is how the journalists who publish truth become more naturally powerful than politicians, in some nations. Thus, if we express truth known to us as per someone’s need, Truth has the duty to complete itself and become positive energy.  If lawyers speak the truth in court, the Nation would not depend on Politicians for good governance.

DID UNP KARMA DISMISS THE LANKAN PRESIDENT?

 

Majority Sri Lankans follow the system of karma. Rooted in  belief, emotions lead to positive karma. Without belief, they lead to negative karma. The memory of  Sri Lankan protests of last year was surfaced by BBC through its article ‘Sri Lanka: The fate of a protest that toppled a president’. The article draws our attention to Mr Kaluthantri- a port worker amongst the protestors:

 

["I took the presidential flags away because I thought Mr Rajapaksa wouldn't be able to act as president without those official symbols," Mr Kaluthantri said….. Mr Kaluthantri himself surrendered to police and spent 21 days in custody on charges of desecrating the presidential flag]

 

The respect for the position of president is the root of our relationship with the president. The incumbent may or may not be a fit person for the position, but to the extent our investment in the position is true,  the protests manifest at the appropriate level. In the BBC example, the protestor surrendered to the police and accepted the punishment. This confirms that at his level of leadership he followed the law that was known to him. Hence his truth also influenced the resignation of the president. This is the philosophy of karma.

 

Laws facilitate orderly conduct. Where we lack belief, laws common to all concerned is essential to maintain harmony. The 1978 constitution of Sri Lanka, under the leadership of President J R Jayawardene, opened the pathways for Sri Lanka to become more global.  This is presented by Wikipedia as follows:

 

Jayewardena's foreign policy was aligned with American policies (earning him the nickname 'Yankie Dickie') much to the chagrin of India.’

 

By using the American immigration system and then giving it up to become president of Sri Lanka, Mr Gotabaya Rajapaksa effectively devalued his investment in the American immigration system and therefore became the Opposition of President J R Jayawardene who opened the gates of globalisation and thereby strengthened the investment in global democracy by Sri Lanka.

 

Karma is the system of truth. It is perfectly balanced in terms of  causes and effects. To the extent we stay within the truth realised by us, we would find out why something happened, as per our own need, as well as the need of the group we feel part of.  By finding out why, we become the force that driving force of that community. That was how Gandhi became the force that diffused the emotional violent, reactive power of the ‘untouchables’. Gandhi thus raised the level of manifestation to his level, to maintain non-violent response. This is the lesson every protestor needs to learn from Sri Lanka.

WELFARE COSTS VS BENEFITS

 

Welfare payments automatically generate their ‘other side’. If the payment is a cost, the receipt is an income. If the payment is an asset, the receipt is a liability. The 2015 government seems to have treated it as an asset which became liability in the books of the recipients. The way this liability is settled, varies as per our respective cultures.

 

As per my culture, a senior within an independent structure has the duty to take care of the junior’s needs. In turn the junior has the responsibility to respect the senior. This then settles the debt at that level. In the case of welfare recipients, if  they fail to respect the providers that the government represents,  then the debt becomes a sin. A sin in this instance is negative Energy against those who work and pay taxes. Taken as a whole, the motivation to work, is continuously offset by the sin of welfare recipients.

 

It is therefore necessary for the government to ensure that the liability is less in value than the asset generated by  the providers of  welfare funds.  Hence the move to recognise this is positive and healthy.

 

The alleged victims of the Robodebt scheme stand to lose most, if they knowingly or otherwise, contribute to developing this excessive liability, by finding fault with a particular government. Such an approach would lead to pampering the welfare recipients. This in turn promotes the subjective system of autocracy and weakens our investment in the objective system needed to develop democracy.

 

Those who take ‘free’ money eventually lose intelligence to attract work opportunities.  Excessive punishment where disciplinary action would be sufficient, would contribute to separatism.
