Replying to an article carried in banner headlines in the Island newspaper of 27th February under the caption “Inquiry into Lasantha murder in a muddle” Gotabaya Rajapaksa who was Secretary Defence at the time Lasantha Wickrematunge was brutally murdered offers an explanation as a cover up after his much publicised ” Who is Lasantha?” interview with the BBC shortly after the killing. He also said that he filed action as it was the correct thing to do. Will he file action against the Island? That would also be the correct thing to do by his own admitted standards.
Gotabaya
The infamous interview shocked the entire world when Gotabaya arrogantly said “who is Lasantha? He was a tabloid journalist criticising every President. Why ask about one man? There are so many murders”. In his reply carefully crafted as one suspects by a lawyer, he goes on to put the blame on Brigadier Keppetiwalana a known acolyte of Gen Sarath Fonseka when he was the Commander of the Army. If one were to recall, Brigadier Keppetiwalana and some other Army Intelligence personnel were arrested and kept in CID custody after being held by the Military initially. At the time Gotabaya was yet the all powerful Secretary Defence. They were released after a visit by Rohan Guneratne arranged and approved by Gotabaya himself. It is indeed funny that the former Secretary Defence now places the blame at the feet of Keppetiwalana, having lost power but did release him whilst he was in power. Rumour was rife that Keppetiwalana et al were pushed to blame Gen Fonseka of the murder whilst being held but when they capitulated by saying to Guneratne they would speak of other murders if they were pushed. Hey presto, the release took place. The CID would do well to follow up on that lead too.
Lasantha
The Rajapaksa government with Gotabaya as Secretary of all he surveyed did nothing with investigating murders let alone corruption. Thajudeen’s murder was an accident. Lasantha’s murder was done by LTTE and hence pushed to SSP Wakista in the anti terrorism unit. Keith Noyahr was released after a near death experience when calls were made to MR and GR. Ekaneligoda was found wandering around overseas. Forget the Udayan journalists. They had no chance. Shame on you journalists in the South. How is it that the former Secretary Defence now says these crimes need not be investigated? How is it that it is convenient to hide behind statements made by Ranil Wickremesinghe and Joseph Michael Perera that it was Gen Sarath Fonseka who killed Lasantha Wickramatunge,at a time he was in power ? Why did he not believe those statements at that time and take action? He was in power !!!!
The former Secretary Defence goes on to say that the Government is hell bent on incarcerating the self proclaimed War Winning Hero ( forgetting Gen Fonseka) because of his efforts in defeating the LTTE and beautifying Colombo. All by himself. Due to the super performance by his brother at the recent Local Government elections the Yahapalanaya boys have got jittery and are hell bent on “fixing” them, says he. Perhaps Gotabaya has forgotten that his brother got such a mandate mainly because the Yahapalanaya’s did not move against them after making serious charges prior to defeating MR. The people felt that the Rajapaksa clan were now, spring chicken. Close behind is the looming possibility of Field Marshal Fonseka becoming the Law and Order Minister, that has sent shivers down their collective spines. Hence the reply.
The gung ho super hero who commandeered all he surveyed when he was in power seems to be cowering without the tri forces and the police to hide behind. He goes on to explain that he did file action against the late senior journalist and his newspaper for billions over the reporting of the “MiG Deal” as he himself calls it. Observers will do well to remember that Gotabaya in an interview with Hard Talk during his period as Secretary Defence arrogantly said to a question whether he wished The Sunday Leader to shut down as they will not be able to pay billions “Of course”. Watch You Tube interview. Yet when the paper changed hands he accepted an apology from Rajapaksa codger Asanga Seneviratne who was by then the owner. Observers must also remember that Gotabaya was out of power when he accepted the apology. So, the all powerful Secretary Defence who wanted the Leader Newspaper shut down, meekly accepts a contrived apology from his poodle when out of power.
Having set in motion his papers to revoke US citizenship Gotabaya takes his first steps to run for President in 2020. Viyath Maga stands testimony. For the first time Gotabaya accepted in an interview that he was a US citizen. Why? Because he has already set in motion the revoking of his US citizenship. If readers do not believe it please ask Malraj Silva in California who knows inside out of all, We mean ALL of Gotabaya’s affairs in the USA. Maybe the CID should follow that lead too.
Maybe, just maybe The Island carried this on the front page to open the debate for Gotabaya
to respond in this fashion since Field Marshal looms large. The Island has been openly supporting Mahinda Rajapaksa and Gotabaya with Shamindra Ferdinands and Dayan J, leading the cheer squad. If this is as it seems it’s a shame that a newspaper is helping to cover up for a fellow scribe,s murder let alone of a former colleague within their fold.
The script is clear. Mahinda Rajapaksa cannot run for President in 2020. Gotabaya is the choice of the Pohottuwa. As stated early in this article the Yahapalanaya brought this upon themselves. Between President Maithripala Sirisena and PM Wickremesinghe both are guilty of vacillating over the many investigations against the former regime bigwigs. They read it wrong and now there is hardly time but to make haste in getting about what was promised and needed. Thajudeen, Lasantha, Eknaligoda, Udayan journalists and Noyahr, apart from the grand larceny of a corrupt and dictatorial regime.
If President Sirisena thinks that he could join MR and Gota, he lives in cuckoo land. If PM Wickremesinghe thinks he can win by splitting the former SLFP vote it’s La la land. Their political future depends on getting the investigations done and dusted against the former regime top brass. Both are intertwined at their umbilical cords. United the two will stand. Divided? God forbid Sri Lanka. (By Suranimala Umagiliya)

With or without Lasantha the clan and junta have been exposed many times over, yet no charges have been brought against the former regime partly because the president and prime minister and the functionaries have misplaced their b***s and their moral compass. The question is did they have them in the first place.

He had not just been out of country, there he had to work hard to run his expensive life. He was just like a normal refugees we found in europe keep coming from Syria these days. These buggers had no even home wealth to pump huge sums of local currencies either.
But his brother and local media behind him made the picture BRIGHTEN as if GOTTA is the architect of the ground handling to eleminate terror territories.
How come ?
Does anyone with a brain the size of a mustard seed deceive by the tricks being played by these idiots ?
Yes, Srilanken folks would do.
They would even EAT cowdung on one go, if they would have been asked to do so, for their selfish gains.
Over 90% of lankens would believe in sorcery tricks, astro predictions, not thinking twice.
Hakkgediya man make palaces in Colombo in suburbs with the money being grabs by his Hakgediya sankalpaya even if Zoologists in general believe, no whatsoever Hakkgediya as exterior skeletons of those beings can ever bring fortune.
But lankens are caught.. since if anyone next them would pie on the right, they are ready to follow them.

There is nothing wrong with the Act. Our Act is lenient in comparison to other countries. It should have been tougher given the fact that Sri Lanka was terrorized by the savage Prabhakaran and his cadre for 30 years and that LTTE’s international arm is still in tact to the extreme that they can even influence the British government in their decisions on diplomatic relations with Sri Lanka. All those in custody under the Prevention of Terrorism Act should be sent for life imprisonment as a strong message for LTTE supporters in Sri Lanka and abroad.

Who is the Real War Hero?: Ask any Southern Grass eating voter or Rice Eating Cow who has voting rights why they voted for Mara Rajayaksha, who everyone knows earned the highest war booty that Sri Lanka has ever known, and they will say because he defeated the Tigers. These imbeciles do not know or do not want to know the contributions made by Sarath Fonseka. It is through his planning, creativity, sacrifice and tireless efforts that the Tigers were defeated. When every international expert said that this is an impossible task, he used the tactic called ‘attrition warfare’ to first put the Tigers on the defensive and then gave them the works, incessantly and without taking one foot back until the Tigers were defeated fully.
To belittle or completely ignore the contribution made by this great man is a crime against the nation and anyone who does that should be given the Lasantha treatment. Let SF be the Minister of Law and Order and the criminals will run with their tails between their legs.

The orifices: Buramphisincho, they say that there are no permanent friends or enemies in politics. That is why they keep changing sides at a drop of the hat. What motivates them is power, money and the perks.
I am no politician, but I am not guided by fixed ideas. One must adapt to changing situations. Adapt or perish is one of the rules in the Theory of Evolution of Charles Darwin.
I never liked Mara. But many people around me in Matugama area consider him as a God. I just wanted to know why this is so. What changed me was the way Mara and his supporters behaved after the LG elections. As I have said before, it was like a team claiming victory in a Test series that that they had comprehensively lost previously, because they had just won a 20/20. Mara seems to be using his ill-gotten gains to create instability in the country. Why? I think it is not because he wants to come to power again but for a much worse selfish reason – To escape from the repercussions of the crimes that he and his family have committed.
I lost faith in Ranil the day he behaved like a child in Parliament shouting ‘Kavuda Hora’.
Let us not speak about MS. Yuk!
There has been no change in the pecking order of my orifices. My anus has always had priority over my other orifices. After all, even you will admit, one can live with a non-functioning mouth. But try living with a non-functioning anus and you will soon know which is more important.

JR -Ranil like schemers changed the constitution to keep enemies under control. But the Barbaric SLFPyers like Sirimavo, Old King introduced changes only to keep them high (temporarily). Ranil is now under the jackboots of New King. But he has put the jack already under the boots to lift it out. Right after the election, we wrote about the hollow victory of the Slap Party. Now it is being felt by Old Royals. They are trapped by a Trojan Horse Victory in LG. They won’t be able to control these LGs. But those voted for election going to wait with their plates ready for the Biriyani from moon.
End of the day, in EP election, the organizers of the Slap Party, the Old Royals will be paying the price for the victory. Ranil would be the forecasted winner of it, irrelevant of him messing the remaining two years or not. The reason for that is, there is solid base of opponents for Old Royal, in contrast to lack of support to Ranil. LG election indicated Ranil is in a better position to fix his lack support than Old Royal can overcome the solid opponents against them. It is crystal clear those who are in opposition will have hard time to fix their opponents. Reducing the opposition of the opposition has to be done by the rulers by repeated blunders like Yahapalanaya did in the past three years. Though New King, the Judas incapable of learning it, Ranil does. So the weather cock is this time pointing its beak to Ranil in the next presidential election.
Even if that is only remote, the question is, what is the strategy Old Royals have to prevent Ranil from appointing Ponny as the Law & Order Minister if he wins?
“Make peace or pay the price if failed” is the option for New King and Old Royals on this.

The political stand any of all ideologies in differences which that not permitted to killed any persons. But having authority of parties and leaders of killed their own country is/was USA by their own intelligence services CIA . Which has that undermined modern “Democracy” evil roots are that remain in USA?
War is politics. Peace also part of a politics. Both form are politics of Democracy of Bourgeoisies off Capitalism. War and Peace is bread and butter of Democracy!
The LTTE political terrorism has shifted into new highest point of Gun. It has turn to better roots cause of politics of WAR was provided by UNP-JRJ beginning in 1977 by and anti-Tamil ratios since 1977-,79,-81 and 1983. War prolong by UNP regime until 1994,that gun ballet of baton of War handed -over to CBK 1994 to 2004.
In matter of fact by CBK carry politics of war another 11 years by blessing and wishes of West and Indian.
Her political motto was by words of Peace and Reconciliation by CBK in deeds she carry forwarded politics of WAR during her 11 years misrule?
History in WAR we have to learn lessons people of Sri Lankan were challenge by national catastrophe in every sphere of LIFES .
In all government institutions were inactivity and democracy delivered zero-point it has come failure after 65 years of Independent.
The institutional task of democratic organs of executive, legislative and judiciary and functions of state has turn to position of that imposture stand by war of politics run by UNP and CBK mode of governances. Indeed Sri lanka state and governance turn to the period of impotent.
What is to be done when MR and alliance being to governances of Democracy they were compelled to Stop that War- oriented its politics in 2005?
Imposing the short period in 2009 May 19 that MR led alliance has defeated of gun rule politics of LTTE Tamil-terrorism.
Well, Victory of Peace and stability restoration Island democracy credited could go to MR ruling alliance. The whole country back to order of democracy decided by voters . That is regain right to voters whole Island by MR alliances. How is that comes to the Crime of WAR ?

Asoka: “[edited out], you said. Looks, Sri Lanka has got a new type of “ANGULIMALA”. Better, if family members of Lasantha place some security at the burial site, because Asoka could venture out to fulfill his life long wishes. Also, in the absence of a BUDDHA, this “Asoka”, overwhelmed with the advent of a “SATAN” from a far off corner of the Globe, could go on a rampage and it would be our STF that would have ultimately to make a finish. I repeat, at the moment we don’t have a BUDDHA to subdue this type of men. Sri Lankans – Be on the watch and take care.

I read somewhere, this ballige putha had been facing all the difficulties as a refugee in the US. SF had then been visiting him – there the bugger should have explained all personal life he then went through with him.
But Rajapakshes Rascals made LANKEN media men blind… even more today. sinc ethey allowed DERANA or th elike men to take ground.
Derana and Hiru sender came into being thanking to Rajanos.
If one would hold GENUINE investigations, they would be able to reveal lot more.Even today, they have been running big rallies thanks to KOREAN and ITALIAN diasphora. Most of them are not knowledgable people, they have left those countries for labour work.
Please do some reaserch for your own pickups, there you will get to know what those folks are talking about.
For them, as is the case with local vulnerable folks… Rajapakshes are the magicians.
None of them woudl raise the questions, as to why the bugger et al became so stinky by end of 2015.
Entire world was against except UGANDA, Belarus and SWAZILAND.
Ballige putha led groups were attacked in Oxford… and other metropols in the world.
How many of the tourists were attacked by ballige putha men, just because the style they governed was similar to that of Lybia or Northkorea.
His counterpart Mugabe is now in retirement but balligeputha has to stay further since his sone would be beheaded for the THadju murder. Brother would be beheaded for the Lasantha murder.

Gota, is a cowared. Its insecure people who murder their opposers hoping their agitation in against them would go away. Gota is one such person who revelled in MR’s shadow and used this advantage to bully people into submission. Gota is a murderer, a destroyer of families, a displacer of families and needs to be tried and put behind bars permanently. There are too many mothers, brothers, sisters, son’s and daughters going to sleep tonight without a loved one because of this brute of a man.
As the writer, rightly puts it MR never won the election on his own merit. He won it because the UNP was sleeping on the mandate given by the people in 2015 to try the Rajapakse Rogues. They failed and MR gained.

Shrikharan / March 1, 2018
“Who is Gotabaya?”
“He is an army deserter who could not fight in the war, shivering in his boots and managed to escape to the USA and he was working in a petrol shed, pumping petrol.” Why should we ask about one man’s arrest as there are many men arrested. There are many who taken into custody and went missing when he was defense secretary. Was he bothered when many went missing taken away in white van? So why should we get bothered if this man gets arrested and gone missing (and finally his bones are found).

Sumanasiri / March 2, 2018

But lankens in general would not accept it.
No matter even if Gota would hold US passport, but others have no validity or right to bear it if doing politics in the country.
Cow dung eating majoritiy would bend their heads as is the case with North koreans are made to do so.
All is allowed to Gota and their Rajapakshe rascal genetics carriers only.
So long all these ballige puthas are in the country, we will only hear clashes between Muslims, clashes between tamils or any other on and on. Their virulent blood would never allow lankens to rise head and live peaceful means.

26th Dream of King Kosala:
King Kosala sends for the Agra Purohitha to interpret the latest dream he had.
KK: Puro, Why are you so late?
Puro: I beg your mercy O’King. I had to go and meet a donkey about a man.
Anyway, what seems to be the problem? If it is another dream, we must think of forming a separate Ministry of Dreams like the one in Lankadweepa in 2,500 years.
KK: Oh Yeah? Is their King also going to have dream like me?
Puro: Yes O’ King. While the Putujjana are dreaming about having stomachs at least half full, the rulers will have dreams of how to rob banks, how to launder the booty and so on. As Anatole France would say one day, “To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe”.
KK: Yes, and not only rob but also launder. Ha! Ha! What a sad lot.
Puro: Sad but rich. They want to make a rich country where only the rich are rich and to hell with others.
KK: You mean where the rich would be richer than Singaporeans like Arjuna? Why do they need a separate Ministry of Dreams? All their Ministries seem to be Ministries of Dreams and the Ministers are sleeping.
KK and Puro: Ha! Ha!… Ha! Ha!
Puro: Just to keep you informed, I will read one of the speeches by their King, obtained through our time machine.
Puro starts to read a long harangue about making gut wrenching changes, serving the people, catching thieves etc etc. He is soon interrupted by a strange and repetitive sound – Snoring.
The King was having his 27th dream.

Tell us if there are money collectors of MR gang co. roaming in ME area. The kind of fund collectors were then there in Europe but for Ltte. Most of the tamil people went hiding those collectors were supposed to visit them. I knew this from London, Germany and France also from Switzerland.
I do know there are some in Korea and Italy – got to read lot more abou ttheir thougths through YT videos.
Do you think there are lot more among the grass eating folks would agree with him about all the allegations levelled at him so long media men spread something totally pure abou tthem ?
/
Edwin Rodrgo / March 2, 2018
I have contacts with very few Sri Lankans here. I avoid them as much as possible. So I cannot be sure about money being collected. But no one has approached me so far. But why should they collect money for MR. He has tons of it, which he seems to be using to destabilize the government and hence the country itself.
But there is something important I am worried about. It looks like some of the Sri Lankan underworld people have come to Dubai. All kinds of Mafias are operating there because they have money galore. The Indian, Chinese, Sri Lanka, Me, Russian, American, Italian – in fact the whole gamut is there. Some have crossed over to other ME countries from there.

We really appreciate Mr. You have now been sensing well.

They may have monies grabed by them during their highdays, most of them have been kept unturn somewhere else. These are no jokes, time will reveal everything sooner than later.

I met a suspicious character here in Bahrain. He was in Dubai before then came over to Bahrain. Obviously I cannot reveal the reasons for my suspicions in this forum. But I am pretty sure he is an underworld character who fled Sri Lanka. How he got the permission to come here is a mystery because Bahrain is generally a clean and relatively unspoilt country. Someone told me that in Nov end or Dec Swarnavahini or some other Lankan TV channel revealed that an underworld kingpin has fled from Dubai to Bahrain. If anyone can get me the precise date of this news and the channel I may be able to get more info. This wil help this decent country Bahrain as well as SL.

No one appear to have commented on the Welikada inmates massacre in 2012. The Report categorically says that it was Gota who was behind the massacre of 27 inmates in the search for MANJUSRI who was supposed to have stolen the swords and other artifacts from the Colombo Museum. Manjusri was to confess to Courts the following day. It had come to light that there was ‘GOTA’s list with the STF men. They selected and murdered all including MANJUSRI who was to confess to Courts as to who was behind the stolen swords of the museum. This alone is sufficient to send the bastard to gallows.

Gotabaya, name alone says who he is Got-a-baya (baya thiyanawa). That is the reason why he ran away to USA when Tigers were attacking. Then he came back and sat in an office in Colombo without going to the battle field and started directing killers. Its time the President takes action to lock this guy up.

Rajapakses freed the country from terrorists and prevented a permanent division. Look at Syria, there are 5 foreign countries with a military presence and 2 of them (USA and Turkey) are hell bent on dividing it. Journalists have a right to speak out, but there is a time and place for everything.
