A few days ago, I saw the documentary entitled, “Story of Adele Balasingham” produced by Boston Lanka (BL). It is obvious that BL is trying to rescue Sri Lanka from well-substantiated allegations of war crimes and crimes against humanity committed during the last days of the war – May 2009.
BL has telecast many pro-government programmes portraying Rajapaksa as the most democratic leader in the world. It is believed that in fact BL is a mouth piece of the Sri Lankan government!
Indeed, the international community supported Rajapaksa’s government in bringing the war against the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) to an end. This was because the international community believed Sri Lanka’s professionally fabricated misinformation, circulated widely by their embassies and paid agents.
Better late than never. Now the international community has realised its mistake and is trying to rectify it. The outcome of two consecutive resolutions on Sri Lanka, in the UN Human Rights Council – 19th session in March 2012 and 22nd session in March 2013, is evidence of this. Let us wait and see what will happen in the near future.
Story of Adele Balasingham video;
Also we have seen two hammering reports of the UN Secretary General – Panel of Experts’ report and the Internal Review Panel report. Both criticise the government and the security forces. Rajapaksa’s government cannot escape from this checkmate.
As a result, the Sri Lankan government and the BL have now begun to target Mrs Adele Balasingham, widow of Mr. Anton Balasingham, political advisor to the LTTE for more than two decades, until his death in December 2006.
Humanitarian & Political
Being the wife of the LTTE advisor, of course, Adele Balasingham was part of the LTTE. Media reports, other than Sri Lanka’s pied pipers, indicate that Adele’s tasks were political and humanitarian. She took part in all the peace talks that took place between the Sri Lankan governments and the LTTE.
Being part of an organization strongly linked to military activities, like other military institutions, everyone within the LTTE including members of the auxiliary forces wore military fatigue. It is basic knowledge that not everyone wearing military fatigue is part of military operations.
Now let me come to the video produced by the BL, which lasts for 20:26 minutes. In that documentary, none of the LTTE cadres say that Adele Balasingham recruited or trained them.
In the past, we have seen many videos of Adele taking foreign media personnel visiting the LTTE administrated area on a tour and explaining the military strength of the LTTE. One of the videos covered in the BL documentary, was one of these. However there is not a single video or any evidence showing that she recruited child soldiers or trained suicide bombers. Also bear in mind, that in the past, not a single International human rights organisation has accused Adele Balasingham of involvement in any of those activities.
It is to be noted that, since May 2009, there have been many forced convictions of detained LTTE cadres, to suit government accusations slandering individuals who are against Rajapaksa’s government.
In fact, Adele Balasingham’s book, “The Will to Freedom” published in 2001 gives evidence of her activities, while staying locally with LTTE. In 2000, she moved to the UK with her late husband Anton Balasingham.
If BL is really concerned about child soldiers and suicide bombers, why have they never raised the issue of those individuals accused by international human rights organisations and the UN? Is it because they are presently holding positions from Minister, Deputy Minister to party organizers within the Rajapaksa government? These individuals not only recruited child soldiers, they also paved the way for suicide bombings.
In September 2007, the Rajapaksa government smuggled the paramilitary leader Karuna alias Vinayagamoorthi Muralitharan, (the present Sri Lankan Deputy Minister) on a forged diplomatic passport to London, UK. Karuna was responsible for kidnapping and mass killings of innocent civilians in the East. He was accused of war crimes and crimes against humanity by international human rights organisations.
It is disappointing to note BL’s misuse of the integrity of journalism, slandering individuals, to safeguard a government already known as a ‘failed state’. Does BL know anything about media freedom and the pathetic situation of media workers in Sri Lanka? If so, how many programmes have they produced about attacks on journalists and the numerous journalists who have sought asylum in foreign countries?
Prageeth Eknaligoda
Surely, BL must have heard about the disappearance of Prageeth Eknaligoda who was a cartoonist, political analyst and journalist in Sri Lanka. Prageeth was reported missing in January 2010. The former Attorney General of Sri Lanka said that ‘disappeared’ Prageeth was living abroad. Presently, one of the government’s Members of Parliament Arundhika Fernando says Prageeth is in France. This sends a cruel and confusing message to Prageeth’s family, anxiously waiting to hear any facts about Prageeth. Has BL taken any action to trace the fate of Prageeth or any other missing journalist in Sri Lanka?
Has BL not heard accusations against Sri Lanka’s UN Deputy permanent representative, Major General Shavendra Silva? How many international human rights organisations have raised questions about his appointment to the UN in New York? What about other military officials who committed war crimes and crimes against humanity and have been appointed as Ambassadors to different Sri Lankan embassies? Does, BL consider war crimes and crimes against humanity committed by the Sri Lankan security, worthy of reward?
BL and the government of Sri Lanka should understand that, tarnishing the name of Adele Balasingham or any other person is not the way for Sri Lanka to escape from its record of war crimes and crimes against humanity.
It’s good that BL raised the assassination of Indian Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi and the Sri Lanka President Premadasa. Not only these two assassinations, all other assassinations and other mass murders should be condemned and the culprits brought to justice.
Rajiv Gandhi & Premadasa
Concerning the assassination of Indian Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi, I don’t know whether BL recalls the attempted murder of Rajiv Gandhi that took place on 30 July 1987, in Colombo, Sri Lanka. This was witnessed by his wife Sonia Gandhi. While the Indian Prime Minister visited Sri Lanka to sign the Indo-Lanka accord, he was inspecting the guard of honor in Colombo and a Sri Lankan Navy sailor struck him forcefully with the butt of his unloaded gun attempting to assassinate him.
It was believed that this was master-minded by those against the Indo-Lanka accord, especially then Prime Minister Premadasa and the National Security Minister Athulath Mudali. We should not forget that the present President of Sri Lanka, Mahinda Rajapaksa was also against the Indo-Lanka accord and gave a slamming interview against India. In his interview, Mahinda Rajapaksa said: “Indians are going to occupy this land. They are going to take over this land. Already there are 100,000 soldiers in this country. Our fear is that they might come to down south and they may occupy this area. What will happen to us? And we will have to be another part of India!”……………….. (Excerpt)
However, military attacks and suicide bombings would not have been carried out with sticks and batons. So where are those who supplied military hardware to the LTTE? There is ample evidence that, in 1989, the Sri Lankan President Premadasa supplied arms to the LTTE to fight against the Indian army and the Tamil National Army –TNA, created by Varatharajah Perumal of EPRLF, the 1st Chief Minister of the North Eastern Provincial Council in December 1988. Army commanders who carried out arms supply under direct orders from President Premadasa are still living to relate the story to BL, if they are interested in making a documentary. There is a chapter about this arms supply in Adele Balasingham’s book “The Will to Freedom”, page 243 & 244 – “Request for Armed Assistance”.
The BL should remember that Sri Lanka was the 1st country in the world which gave a hero’s welcome to the hijacker of an Alitalia Boeing 747.
Alitalia was hijacked
On 30 June 1982, Alitalia Boeing 747 with 340 passengers was hijacked by one Sepala Ekanayake, a Singhalese from South of Sri Lanka while the aeroplane was between New Delhi and Tokyo. The plane was forced to land in Bangkok airport. After 35 hours of drama there, Sri Lanka’s Ambassador in Thailand personally went to the airport and assured Sepala that he could go to Sri Lanka without any fear.
Sri Lanka allowed the hijacker into the country, with 300,000 US dollars that the hijacker received as ransom from Alitalia. Sri Lanka took no action on this hijacker for several weeks, until international pressure mounted. Also Sri Lanka turned down the request from the Italian government that the hijacker be handed over to them.
This hijacker of Alitalia Boeing 747 is a strong supporter of President Mahinda Rajapaksa’s Sri Lanka Freedom Party and involved in the Party work in Pollanaruwa, Anuradhapura and Matalan districts. Sepala Ekanayake was one of the killers who massacred 53 Tamil unarmed political prisoners inside the Welikada prison in Colombo in July 1983.
Is BL aware that the person who made an attempted murder on Rajiv Gandhi and the person, who hijacked Alitalia, are today national heroes and are involved in politics in Sri Lanka.
American couple kidnapped
Since BL is based in USA, I am sure that they will be very interested in looking after the interests of Americans. In that case, is the BL aware of the American couple kidnapped in 1984 in Jaffna? Soon after the armed conflict started in Sri Lanka, two Americans known as the ‘Alan couple’ from Ohio in USA were kidnapped in Jaffna by Douglas Devananda’s group. Douglas Devananda of the EPDP is a Minister in the present cabinet in Sri Lanka.
Until today the Sri Lankan government has not taken any action against Douglas Devananda for kidnapping the American couple. How does the international community see this action?
See the double standards of the Rajapaksa government and one of its pied-pipers, BL!
Let us be frank! This is not the way Sri Lanka should be responding to the two resolutions voted in the UN Human Rights Council.
In conclusion, I will say that anyone can do anything under the sun, but at the end of the day if they support and praise the Rajapaksa government, they find themselves in the best government posts, with the portfolio of their choice. This is present-day Sri Lanka.
This is how BL and Rajapaksa government are addressing heinous allegations of war crimes and crimes against humanity, leveled at Sri Lanka by the International Community.

Good for Boston Lanka! It’s about time the role of this Australian former nurse, Adele Balasingham, in the Tamil Tigers was exposed to the world. It’s noticeable that this article by S V Kirubaharan does not attempt to repudiate a single one of the accusations levelled against Balasingham and the LTTE made in the film.

Interesting documentary that raises some questions.
The LTTE (like the JVP) destabilised a sovereign state: why did successive SL governments fail to nip them in the bud? (as they did with JVP terrorism). Or was the ‘war’ against the LTTE too profitable for some well-connected, to be finished earlier? There were many occasions when Adele Balasingham (and many others of her persuasion) could have been arrested by the security services of the GOSL; why were those opportunities missed?
As for Women and Child soldiers; the outstanding stain on the Tamil men will remain that they lifted their verti’s and ran away to salubrious climes as far away from the action as possible. So much for defending a dream. Now they cut a ridiculous sight in their adopted communities, crying for something they didn’t have the guts to stand up and fight for. In the end, the semi-educated leadership of the LTTE failed to know when the odds were stacked against them, failed to know when to fold their hand and live to fight another day and finally, heavily outnumbered as any schoolboy could have predicted, got what they had coming to them, big time.
The best thing the diaspora Tamils could do now is to keep shtum and send money to their kith and kin in SL grappling with reconciliation and rehabilitation. The sorry lot of the much-reduced Tamil community in SL means that they are likely to wander in the wanni for decades to come before their children, perhaps, can rescue their dignity and standing amongst other Sri Lankans.
Notwithstanding, Adele does perhaps, even at this stage, have questions to answer. The shambolic, concerned departments of the GOSL have no clue as to how they should pursue her and her ilk except than to blame whatever foreign government is percieved to be able ‘to do something’.
One final note. Vyonni De Mel’s presentation is a distraction; she talks as if her mouth is full of marbles and perhaps BL could extend their budget to be able to afford someone better.

Too bad this writer doesn’t realize the grave damage Adele did to innocent lil Tamil girls who were brain washed by the ” WHITE AUNT”. Wonder where the so called “human rights defenders are, who have enough evidence of Adele being a terrorist and a supporter of terrorism, who caused so many deaths. Whether of Ltte female fighters or even their victims… She, Adele should NOT go un punished… DID SHE BITE ON THE CYANIDE VAIL that she ordered other lil kids to bite on? HECK NO. Typical mindset of the west… double standards… Adele is the cause for so many innocent girls to have lost their lives…. and she had the nerve to write a book and make a fast buck… oh.. nvm… she comes from Australia…. a country made up by ex criminals of England who were shipped to Australia…

Good or bad?
Sending children to war kills 2 generations. That is why civilized ethnic groups never send children to war. When one ethnic group sends their children to war, the other group automatically wins!
I would not charge Adel for war crimes. She was a blessing in disguise to SL! LTTE suicide bombers killed more Tamils than anyone else. During the last stage of the war they killed thousands trying to keep their human shield in tact.

Admitting one’s errors is the first step for the tamil community. The tamil leaders, and hangers on like Adele balasingham put a small minority in harm’s way by pitting it against a majority that was 7 or 8 times larger. You guys decimated the `Ilankai tamil makkal’.
Instead of admitting the crimes that were perpetrated with the killing of Durai in Jaffna, then canagaratnam, Amithalingam and thousands of others to follow, and so on spiralling upwards into the LTTE war machine, with people like Kirubaran contributing to the misery of TAMILS like me who lived in Colombo, never sure of coming home as I too could be in a bus targeted for suicide attacks or state terror, and here again the left-over LTTE rump is continuing to sing the old songs.
Adele Balasingham was a war criminal whose actions destroyed many of the younger generation of the Tamils. The crimes of Sinhalese extremists does not justify similar or worse crimes by the Tamils.

The Sri Lankan Civil War was an asymmetrical war. One characteristic of an asymmetrical enemy is that they resort to brutal and ruthless tactics because they are weaker. The only way to defeat an asymmetrical enemy is to be equally brutal and ruthless. This is why asymmetrical wars always yield war crime allegations on both sides. The only other way to deal with an asymmetrical enemy is to defeat them before they becomes organized which is very hard. Here in the US, we are struggling with doing that in terms of how far surveillance programs can go. As an American looking in at Sri Lanka’s history, it seems to me that the Tamils were not treated very well. I think the Tamils had legitimate grievances. That being said, I also think the LTTE resorted to ruthless tactics and I don’t care for Prabhakaren’s connection to Marxism either. On the other hand, I find Sri Lanka’s connection to China in defeating the LTTE equally troubling. I hope Sri Lanka finds healing. No people deserve peace more. I think Sri Lanka is at risk of losing its democracy as it is becoming more militarized. I also think that some recent actions regarding resettlement by the govt. there are rekindling old hostilities. I hope the people of Sri Lanka find a way to turn back this tide and that they seek a restoration of the greatness of Sri Lanka. There is no reason why an independent Sri Lanka cannot be like it was when it was a British colony. In fact, Sri Lankans are so intelligent that a peaceful healed Sri Lanka could rival any nation in its region including India.

Manoharan / June 20, 2013
What about USA’s connection to China? The dollar has any strength only because of China. If China were to dump even 5% of its dollars and buy euros or swiss francs or yen, USA will have to secretly send a top level delegation and go on its knees in front of the forbidden palace. Corporate Amerca sent Rupert Murdoch, Google and General Electric CEO to China in the hope of buying it up. The West gave admission to china to the WTO hoping to control it. But China stuck to its guns. Rupert Murdoch had to return having emptied his pocket, and with a chinese girl as his new wife! Even the defence conracts given out by the US to build its ring around China seems to have gone into companies that are chinese proxies. Soon, they will even hire Rusmfeld as a director!

It is obvious all the comments made above were well organised by Boston Lanka and Sinhalese in US. It is cleaverly given ethnic equality in their comments.
Kirubaharan already told us that he received few phone calls from USA, asking him whether he is writing an article challenging Boston Lanka. This shows, how the Sri Lankan intelligent is active on every Tamil diaspora.
None of the above commentators have rejected Kirubaharan’s points.
As Kirubaharan said, this is not the way the Boston Lanka and Rajapaksa government could address heinous allegations of war crimes and crimes against humanity.
Let you extreme Singhalese and Buddhist say whatever you like.
We will continue to bring every ugly incident to the notice of the international community.

What were you, kirubharan and the Tamil rump abroad doing during 20/30 years of terrorism? Suicide bombing, murdering infants in cold blood, recruiting underage children to be used as cannon fodder are acts of brave crimes against humanity carried out by LTTE Tamil morons. You and Kirubaran and others who collected funds are responsible the war crimes committed. Look at the mirror and you will see the blood on your hands.

This not about well documented double standards applied in various conflict situations like, Iraq, Afganistan, Guantanamo etc etc. This is about double standards being applied in a single country (Sri Lanka) situation.

Regardless of thwe motivations for making this film, the undisputable fact remains that Adele Balasingham was senior player who was very active in the LTTE and responsible for war cimes. She is a terrorist who among other things recruited and trained innocent young women and girls to become suicide bombers and killing machines. Along with her husband Anton, Adele has the blood of thousands of tamils and Sinhalese on her hands…she is a terrorist and a war criminal and should be tried as such…its amazing how she ws part of the LTTE killing machine and somehow managed to dissapear into the background like a ghost when the going got tough…what an awaful example of a human being and anyone who tries to defend her shoudl get their facts right or have their head examined.

Given that Karuna, Pillayan and KP are now all hugs and kisses with GOSL it would be better to give Adele a pass. She fell in love with a man who happened to be Josef Goebbels of the LTTE. He convinced her and she fell for it.
That was war time and people did what had to be done. If the GOSL could acts like an adult. They would approach her and see if she is willing to help with the rehab of these ‘freedom Birds’ or undo some of the damage she has done.
No! that would require the two belligerents in Ealam IV to act with sense and responsibility. No we can’t have that. That won’t do! As long as we have chests we have to thump on them.

Maamanithar / June 20, 2013
Victory has a thousand fathers, but defeat is an orphan – President John F. Kennedy.
The one time ‘TITANIC’ LTTErs know what it means. Opportunist Jackals like Kirubakaran were the first among the few, who changed their colors. Kirubakaran found refuge in the Indian camp but yet to hear a word form them, and the interesting issue with this Jackal is that he can not hide his long practiced original habit of shrieking in the nights – especially when alone. We see his real color in the above article.
I quote from the article….the international community supported Rajapaksa’s government in bringing the war against the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) to an end. This was because the international community believed Sri Lanka’s professionally fabricated misinformation, circulated widely by their embassies and paid agents.
….. Now the international community has realised its mistake and is trying to rectify it. The outcome of two consecutive resolutions on Sri Lanka, in the UN Human Rights Council – 19th session in March 2012 and 22nd session in March 2013, is evidence of this.- end quote.
Vow !! I wonder, whether it would be possible for any experienced diplomat or even a historian of war to make such a dashing conclusion on an issue deeply connected with Geopolitics.
This man further, awaits for the changes to take place in the near future. Who knows that his knowledge of geopolitics might announce that ”the Americans are to work for Ealam”!!? For, Mr.Kirubakaran has already started to scratch the backs of Eileen Chamberlain Donahoe in the UNHRC by boasting about her beauty – comparing it with Hilary Clinton !! He was successful in convincing an English lady to marry him and why can’t he do it with an American women towards his Ealam goal !!?
Kirubakaran is naked !! Shamelessly naked by his claims over Karuna Amman. I quote……”presently holding positions from Minister, Deputy Minister to party organizers within the Rajapaksa government? These individuals not only recruited child soldiers, they also paved the way for suicide bombings”.
Recruiting child soldiers, suicide bombers, adult soldiers, collecting ransom money,killing innocent Muslims, threatening Muslim traders etc., etc., who did Karuna Amman do all these things for Mr.Kirubakaran ?? If you are going to call him a war criminal for the above accounts, how about the other Commanders who were doing the same in the LTTE ?? Anyone could understand your anger on K.Amman, For he suddenly realized the traditional dirty minds of the Northerners – He decided to put an end to the habits of ”Enjoying life at the expenses of the week and poor”.He stopped feeding the VP’s killing machine and the rest is history.For you and the likes he is a traitor, for us you all are from the same pool with the same old dirty smell.
You ask BL to speak about Premadasa’s arms supply to your Master!! We ask you to reveal about the millions and billions of rupees given to VP at the expense of our democratic rights !!? You people are shameless to sleep with an enemy and then to portray them as prostitutes, finally the same practice made your Master to eat the humble pie ??
Consecutive Governments of Sri Lanka, the LTTE or any other so called freedom fighters or even the BL are not at all bothered about the people’s say. ”The whole world is full of foul play, why do you shout us at alone !!? Allow us too a free hand to be smart with all our crimes”, is your cry.
When are we going to see real Leaders, fighters and heroes who would apologize with the lovely innocent people of this lovely country, for the crimes committed against them, to begin a meaningful life of brotherhood that we experienced in the sixties and seventies.

Adale Balasingam was in-charge of six torture camps of LTTE for women. After the IPKF left LTTE humted the supporters of India and the supporters of the 13th Amendment.
Manly MALES left to India or somewhere but those families of the EPRLF, TELO and others remained in Jaffna. Those women were taken by LTTE for “inquiries” and kept in those camps.
They were tortures, raped and killed by LTTE. LTTE did not spare even 55 years old mothers whose sons were with EPRLF. When Maj.Gen.Janaka Perera chased the LTTE from Jaffna, these camps were ceased.
If UK talk too much about Human Rights, UK must charge Adale first!

This author simply tells lies about Ekanayake. He was active under J.R.Jayawardene and SLFP has nothing to do with Ekanayake! LTTE supporters never open their mouth about the honey-moon with UNP Sinhalese.
LTTE bought/built properties worth billions in Colombo. Can this author expalain how LTTE invested in Colombo with billions looted from the Tamil population? Is this also a part of “Tamil Struggle”? LTTE simply proved the EELAM is a FARCE.
1983 riots was the joint production of the LTTE-UNP axis. Communal problem is the chosen weapon of the UNP-Tamil politics.

Donald J Gnanakone / June 21, 2013
Idiots!!!! I am recuperating in hospital and outside after a car accident recently.. As usual you unknown buggers run your mouth. Verba diarrhea.
Having said that I respectfully disagree with Kiruba’s article and may be for the first time despite the fact that BL is nothing but a propaganda machine.
However as Kiruba said that Mrs AB was a so called peace negotiator although LTTE never ever nominated her as a negotiator for obvious reasons. She was brought in by the so called “Doctor” H.E. as GL would refer and address him (What a joker GL), as his nurse claiming he was sick. Then LTTE should never have sent the sick “Doctor” for negotiations as they finally decided in March 2003, due to some expatriate representations to the LTTE leader by just one person.
Milinda Moragoda was also in regular touch by phone and personal meetings with The Balasingams and that is how Ranil W was mislead and misinformed by Milinda regarding the boycott of the Presidential elections,.
More details will be eventually available in the book.
Well for some Tamils Adele’s book is like the holy bible with the real truth. But for those who were in and out of the Vanni since December 2001, it was really a “Adele in Wonderland” stories and Aesops fables. Adele did not contribute to peace or humanity in any manner.
She and her husband together with the co-negotiators like Rudrakumar and TRO head Maheswaran were some of those responsible for the boycott of the Presidential elections being forced on the Tamil voters. Now Rudrakumar calls himself the Prime Minister of the Tamil government….
I will leave that subject in the back burner for the time being without stirring more of the Tamil hornets nest. lol.
So we all know the terrible consequences to both the Tamils and Muslims for installing the Rajapakse clan in power despite saner council that was provided but influenced by a few advisers both inside and outside the country. Even KP and Daya Master would say they did not know WTH happened….
I do not have the luxury of writing too much because by right arm has a fracture and am in pain.. so more later if time/health permits.

I will pray for Donald’s sins.
If Donald is really in hospital, it will be a good news for many.

You are a pathetic Tamil Tiger Terrorist in disguise; smoke screening with hopeless arguments to divert attention from the horrific deeds of your bestial organization, the LTTE. Your arguments sound hollow and pathetic. Go back to school again (remember the Democratic Sri Lankan Government gives Free Education, Medicare, food, clothing and dole money even to the LTTE terrorists) and try to be a convincing terrorist mouthpiece, and if that does not work, you can always run to India to complain about the 13th amendment |plus.

Is the Colombo Telegraph just another mouthpiece of the LTTE and trying hard to twist the truth in trying to defend the crimes committed by the LTTE operating from both in Sri Lanka as well as overseas. All the so called UN reports refereed to are recycled reports of the same original fabrications of the Tamilnet and LTTE agents.

Maamanithar / June 23, 2013
When ”Victor” proposes something, immediately ”Sri” seconds it !!? Mr.Kirubakaran, it’s only you who think and believe that you are intelligent. But many readers in this forum found your quality out, when you misfired Mr.Ponnambalam junior in filthy in the near past, thinking that ”Maamanithar” means ponnambalam (such is your donkey brain)
We know that you own hundreds of bogus e-mail addresses and equal number of bogus pseudonyms as well.You use them to praise yourselves. You have a huge Organization called TCHR (Tamil Centre for Human Rights), to which the Leader, President, Secretary, Dept.Leader, Dept.President, Dept. Secretary, Treasurer, Reporter, Members, Supporters, etc., etc., are just one man….and that’s you. Your Organization has been declared by the UNHRC as a trumpet and proxy of the Organisation run by your late beloved Master VP and you have to enter into the UNHRC on others tickets.
Using your bogus names, praising yourself and boasting yourself in both print and electronic media is not at all a new thing for me. You are cheaply greedy for publicity with no stuff but terror messages in your products. For instance……..I quote from Victor (one of your bogus names).
”Being a shape (??) observer and a shooter, Kiruba may be waiting to pay with interest to Maamanithar.”
”Now it is the time for Kiruba to react and show his colours to this duplicate Maamanithar”.
”Do remember, everyday is not X’mas.
Very soon we are going to read about you.
You have started with a wrong person”….I end quote.
See the above lines and ashamed of yourself. See how poor you are !!?
So you want to show your colors !!? What are your colors Mr.Kirubakaran !!? Uneducated arrogance, Traditional selfishness inherited from your ancestors, impoliteness, intolerance, madness, violent behavior, folding your tail in between your legs when facing a mighty opponent and being smart to some poor creatures of your own folk, nakedly greedy for publicity…etc., etc., these are your colors and we have seen enough of it.
The animal Kingdom of your Donkey lord has gone with the wind. Wake up from your habitual dreams. You are no more a soldier of Mussolini. You are just a dust on a bend of a third world road. You can’t be smart anymore.
In some previous occasions you have pointed out that I am jealous of you !!?
Yes , I am jealous of you. For your boss couldn’t even get through his sixth standard but he rose to the rank of Tamil National Leader in the meantime you successfully got through your seventh standard and became international political analyst.So you are more qualified than your boss and that’s why I am jealous of you Mr.Kirubakaran. you are a former vegetable vendor from Suthumalai, I wonder you are aware of ”what is bio vegetable”!!? But we are cursed to read your stuff on Geopolitical things. I thing that this is the punishment that God has given to me for the sins I have committed !!?.
You are suggesting me to go to church and to pray for my sins ( Thinking that I am a Christian Don G !!? – the latest intervention of your donkey brain !!)
1.You boasted about Tamil culture and traditions to see you marrying an old English Lady.
2.I have never seen you in your cultural clothes even on that single day in the UNHRC on every session, where people proudly display their cultural things.
3.You white washed all the crimes of your boss VP and called anyone opposing him as a traitor.
4.Your Boss considered Indians as his arch rivals and you stood by his decision, but when you saw his pathetic end you contacted Nambiyar and said ”I am your servant”!! Didn’t you !!?
5.Finally you must have thought that Lord Shiva or Muruga or Suthumalai Amman might punish you for your sins committed during VP era, you changed your Religion. Now you are a holy disciple of Lord Jesus Christ !!?. Vow !!….What a life !! Is it why you ask me too a visit to Church !!?
First you said that Maamanithar is Ponnambalam Junior and when he fired you back ,you, the back-boneless donkey ran away without a word. Now you claim it’s Donald and he calls you an Idiot !! Hahaha….You donkey go back to Suthumalai and start your veg business. I shall be your client again. For you have no back bone to answer the questions posed by comment writers in this forum. You just reflect what you have learnt from a uneducated donkey. You love to do it. For, you too fall in the same category.
I tell you now, don’t think you can fool everyone everywhere.

Normally the birds of the same feathers flock together, but here, they attack each other using pseudonyms .

Never mind who I am, but as I wrote before
There are only two who writes long emails.
One is Dr Brian Seneiveratne and the other one is in States.
I have one curious question to this duplicate Maamanithar.
When I write about Don G, why are you disturbed and annoyed?
You were about to kill me in your writing.
It is a surprise, why Don G is keeping silent, after I wrote about him. It is because he is the Maamanithar.
Now this slow coach will come with some excuses.
Yes, I am jealous of you.
You Don G, you are jealous of everyone. It is in your blue blood.
You are suffering from inferiority complex.

Donald J Gnanakone,
Can you promise upon your Bible that this Maamanithar is not you.
If you promise, I will support you.
Lanka Liar, Ananda-US, Para, Maamanithar and few other comments written in the past were all written by Donald J Gnanakone.
He is a professional trouble maker who profession is to insult and disturb others.

Maamanithar / June 26, 2013
So …you want me to promise and vow upon the holy Bible !!? Well…even the Satan believes in the holy Bible….hooooooo !!? But I don’t Mr.holy Kirubakaran. How about vowing upon Suthumalai Amman !!?? On whom I have my trust and believes !!? You won’t agree, for, if you do so , your men will identify you as a traitor. Also is there any guarantee that you won’t jump over to another Religion as your English lady is getting too old !!? In case if you find a hot Arab lady in the future, what would happen to my vow !!? Won’t you ask me to renew it upon the Holy quran again !!?
….and you say that you would support me…!!? What types of supports……helping me to put up a Koththu shop ?? or connecting me with drug Lords or…..!!?

You must be pretty tired after writing the above comment about Kirubaharan.
For your boss couldn’t even get through his sixth standard but he rose to the rank of Tamil National Leader in the meantime you successfully got through your seventh standard and BECAME INTERNATIONAL POLITICAL ANALYST.
Yes , I am jealous of you.
Try to rectify this error in your next (Maamanithar) comment
Shame on you Donald.
There is 100% prove that it is you who is this Maamnithar.

Mr.Kirubakaran …I am sorry that you failed in your 7th standard…..didn’t you !!?

”There is 100% prove that it is you who is this Maamnithar.” If then why do you need a correction Mr.Dokey !!?

The good news is that Donald J Gnanakone has accepted that he is MAAMANITHAR.

Lanka Liar / June 23, 2013
It is ironic a reporter who is duty bound to tell the truth become a stooge of Sri Lankan war criminal machinery and taken parts of incidents and discredit a honorable lady. Try making a similar film about Mahinda Dofglas Karuna and add your slogans to it A shame full narration in a with a war criminal accent and rotten Sinhalease reasoning. But this lady is handsomely paid by the Sri Lankan war criminals. Can you show the Channel 4 documentary or the amounts of kidnapping torture murders. A reporter from an uncivilized country talks about civilized world. This is Sri Lanka that is how films are made and life is run. People who do a propaganda film are also war criminals.
Can you dare making a film about Gota Mahinda Karuna KP war criminals and arm dealers. Or the crimes committed by the Sinhalese mobs in 1956 1958 1973 2005 . The world would be shocked to see such people existed in this world.
Pretty pathetic film narrated by a pathetic reporter from a pathetic country.
Please look at the number of journalist who were kiddapped and totured and murdered. Do you called a journalist. A journalist A journalist.

Adele Balasingham is a carbon copy of the “Bitch of Buchenwald”. She brainwashed child soldiers into suicide cadre and cannon fodder gifting cyanide capsules, and then escaping to live a cushy life in jolly old England!
No amount of rewriting the truth from black into white by the accomplished Eelamist propagandist “Kirubaharan” can change that incontrovertible truth supported by mountains of evidence.
Today you can’t find one Eelamist who cheered on and enabled the murder and mayhem the LTTE inflicted upon all communities of Sri Lanka. All of them are now PERMANENTLY WEEPING VICTIMS, ONLY VICTIMS, and NOTHING BUT VICTIMS.
These are the kinds of people who deny the Jewish Holocaust. Liars, Incarnate … all of them!

Ananda-USA / June 23, 2013
In the second video, a jaundiced “journalist” says that the GOSL is “sharing” the language of the US war on terror …. implying that it is without justification.
I would say to this blind and deaf self-styled “journalist” that in the last 30 years no other country has been subjected to more terrorism than Sri Lanka.
When the US World Trade Center was attacked and 3,000 odd innocents are killed … that was held up as the ultimate act of terror … and the US launched a Global War on Terror in response, fabricating a FAKE WMD accusation to invade and kill over 1.5 million people (British “Lancet” report)in Iraq. Forgotten in this rhetoric is that the First World Trade Center bombing took place in Colombo, Sri Lanka. The truck bombing of the ATF HQ in Oklahoma was preceded by the truck bombing of the Bank of Ceylon building in Colombo. The train and bus bombings in London were preceded by the murder of hundreds of Sri Lankans in trains (e.g., Dehiwala) and in buses and bus stops all over Sri Lanka.
In a population of over 300 million, US citizens suffered just over 3,000 dead, whereas in a population of approximately 21 million, Sri Lankan citizens suffered over 150,000 dead and countless injured and orphaned.
With the possible exception of Iraq, Sri Lanka has a much greater claim to sympathy and support in its war against terror, than any other country I know.
Whisper to me softly, dear blind and deaf “journalist” offering fig leaves to hide the nakedness of Eelamist terrorists, if my lips do not speak the truth!
