President Maithripala Sirisena has reiterated to loyalists at an event held on May Day that he would be taking steps to arrest former Secretary to the Ministry of Defence Hemasiri Fernando and IGP Pujith Jayasundara for their security failures that he claims led to the Easter Sunday bombings killing 250 people.
Fernando
Speaking with loyalists after a May Day event at the Sri Lanka Foundation Institute on 1st May President Sirisena said that he had received the interim report by a special investigation committee headed by sitting supreme Court Judge Vijitha Malalgoda.
This is reiterating what the President said to security officers at the Defence Ministry two days ago even before he had received the interim report from the committee investigating security lapses that led to the bombings. The statements by the head of state who continues to desperately seek a scapegoat even though he has maintained full control of the entire security apparatus since October 2018 indicate that he was planning to put the entire responsibility for the attacks on the two officials and wipe his hands clean of responsibility.
Colombo Telegraph learns that Fernando is unwell and may seek medical treatment even as the first citizen of the country continues to blame him for the cold blooded murder of 250 people in order to protect himself and his pet police official SDIG Nilantha Jayawardane who heads the State Intelligence Service.
Colombo Telegraph has already revealed that Jayawardne briefed Sirisena on the intelligence reports about the impending suicide attacks on at least three occasions. The SIS head has also given testimony to the special investigative panel. However according to sources SDIG Jayawardane has tried to deflect blame on to the former Defence Secretary for the security lapses while whitewashing President Sirisena.
“They will protect each other,” said a Government official “Nilantha knows he told the president. The President knows Nilantha briefed him. Obviously the two of them cannot rat each other out so someone else has to be the fall guy,” the official said adding that the President’s actions were morally disgusting. According to the official the President was aware of the threat as early as 10 April when he was addressing a public gathering and seemed nervous to remain very long at the meeting. He seemed anxious and ill at east. Sources said the president may also have taken a longer holiday overseas in the belief that he was the actual target of the suicide attacks.
After Sirisena’s unconstitutional effort to make Mahinda Rajapaksa Prime Minister was defeated in December, he refused to give the Police Department and the Law and Order Ministry back to the UNP. To date he holds the police Department under his defence ministry unconstitutionally since the constitution as amended by the 19th Amendment only permits him to hold three ministries – Defence Environment and Mahaweli. However illegally Sirisena moved to gazette the police department under his defence ministry. The UNP and its Prime Minister has failed to resist this move or challenge the President’s unconstitutional actions in Court for the past six months even after the political crisis ended. Which these irresponsible and incompetent actions by the Prime Minister have been widely condemned by the public at large, the responsibility has to be borne by the President who has jealously guarded his Minsitry fo Defence and access to high level security officials and intelligence agencies refusing toe allow his prime minister and even the IGP to even attend National Security meetings even though the composition of the NSC includes both the PM and the Head of the Police.

Whoever being arrested should spill the beans exposing the real face of the most abusive president. If I were former Defence Secretary or IGP, I would not want to protect President as the minister of defence.
That will then pave the way President to get ready for an Impeachment.
:
We the CITIZENS dont need to prove him against, President is the key person to resign no body else.
He left the country for Singpore without having appointed anyone as acting ministers in his absence.
He is the minister of defence
He is the minister of law and order ( even if the lawmakers made him very clear, holding the ministry for such a long time was a greater mistake and unconsitutional too).
All these should be considered in this context.

Its beggers belief how many of them have off shore wealth stashed away in tax free havens, the number of palatial houses flats had been bought for families and friends in Inland as well as abroad in places like the USA, UK, Singapore and other places.
Business venture galore , luxury holidays ect ect, all from our state money. Our people’s money.?

All Lankan retarded, geopolitical experts, pseudos and proxies you,ll have been giving infinite excuses including US,India,West,capitalism, oil,port, ignorance,diaspora for the Easter carnage. But this is not going to be like “zero casualty” gimmick where government staged a war without evidence. This happened in day light where 50 or so foreigners are dead, International intelligence is involved (before and after) social media is on fire and new facts keep coming daily. It never surprises to see our retarded Lankans when digging graves for others they dig theirs too but just deeper and deeper. It is a result of arrogance and ego put together with ignorance/stupidity. When there are enough unanswered questions (deaths of journalist,politicians,disappearance, war crimes) still out there the Lankans continue to create more mess for them self. Facts are clear these perpetrators are well known to the Rajapaksas and their acolytes, they were hired,employed,worked for intelligence , seen in close proximity with Rajapaksas, gommanpilla and gutter Wimal. MS very well knew about the plans months before and some of his Muslim Buddies were aiding and abetting these perpetrators. As usual after committing the murders they are crying foul, rushing to save the country and some pretending to be ignorant. These perpetrators were hand picked by Rajapaksa.

Now the BEST JOKE staged by the “Bureaucracy” is ” I BRIEFED”. The question now the PEOPLE of the country must ask is: Should this country maintain a set of “Top Class” bureaucrats to run the STATE FUNCTIONS merely to “BRIEF” the “HEAD” and go home and relax at leisure? Please direct your attention to the statement that this “Top Bureaucrat” – the Secretary Defense said: ” I did not expect a disaster of this magnitude”. Then the IGP of the country, “PUSHED” the paper down to the next subordinates and was happy with the discharge of his duties. Do we need “EXECUTIVES” of this calibre to be maintained using our taxes? Now this “SHOW” of utter “Disregard” and “Negligence” by the bureaucrats , both in the civil and intelligence services has been misrepresented by the Opposition and contenders for Presidency to the Government’s actions of willful “Apathy” and “Punishments” meted out to the country’s Intelligence Community by “Arrests” and “Jailing”. Are we going to BUY this crap? Yes, of course. Many have already. This was very well shown at the last “SATANA” TV programme. When this was pronounced by an ex MP and a Rtd. Army General, all others in the panel and the media personnel just kept their mouths SHUT. Please note, this comment is in NO WAY to “DEFEND” the President and all in the Legislature. What I say in short is: We NEED the “Bureaucracy” to be MANNED by competent people of “Character”; “Calibre” and “Integrity” who can PUSH the “BOSSES” to action, in the larger interest of the PEOPLE, but not just to “BRIEF”. In that context all who NEGLECTED their duties and responsibilities must be taken to task and made responsible and accountable.

Douglas,
“When this was pronounced by an ex MP and a Rtd. Army General, all others in the panel and the media personnel just kept their mouths SHUT.”
They had nothing to say because Rear Admiral Sarath Weerasekara explained very clearly how this Government ruined the Intelligence Service. Even the Muslim Minister could not challenge him.
————
From the discussions that is going on it is becoming very clear that this Government has compromised National Security in order to get the support from Muslim MPs to stay in power. Tail wagging the dog. Name of one Muslim politician is all over the place but so far CID has not even taken a statement let alone arresting. Long Live ‘Yahapalanaya’. That is what they promised in 2015.

The way cocky Hemasiri brushed aside that White Journ’s serious attempts to get the truth about why he hid the Intelligence, didn’t indicate any illness e or even a bout of the Lurgy..
-.
The silly smile after that devastation ,also didn’t say he was on Valium or anything else.
Only possibility is Cataract , because Hemasiri was covering his eyes with Designer Sunnies which looked the same brand as Dr Ranil wears,,.
–
Even If he is sick , people will wish him a quick recovery so that Hemasiri can not ask for a Hospital Bed in new Welikada…
What bugs me is Why Sira appointed this Idiot for such an important position , which had the record of Eliminating 30 year Tamil Terrorism and protecting our inhabitants from Suicide Bombs for good ten years….

The strong, effective, impartial Govt and legal structure the British gave us began to decline from the time Sinhala Buddhist Nationalism took over in the mid-1950s. With the exception of brief moments in the intervening years, the decline continued alarmingly. Education, Health, Law and Order, the judicial system and other services all declined exponentially. While the SLFP Govts in 1956, 1960 and 1970 were the main culprits the entry of the Rajapakses in the early Year 2000 caused the greatest damage. The Rajapakses behaved as the family owned the country and the 3 brothers shared the spoils in their battle for political power. The economy and governance suffered – never to recover in the immediate future. Their diplomatic appointments were laughed at by the international community. Not that intervening UNP governments were not without fault. But they were helpless with influential Buddhist priests interfering in all aspects of governance. Yes. The politicised Buddhist clerical hierarchy – middle and higher – should accept responsibility for the depths to which our governance has
sunk. Take the case of their glaring interference into the recent proposed appointment of Reginald Cooray as Governor/Central Province. They simply laughed at the appointment on the grounds of caste and religion. The Govt was forced to yield to the theocratic threat. Or its own survival was at stake.
Sri Lanka has since become embroiled in global power inter-play. China, USA, India and now violent global Islam are all battling for control here. Sinhalese and Tamils – at each others throat since 1956 – are pushed to a side. Soon Sri Lanka may
suffer the fate of Beirut.

Galagodaaththe Gnanasara Thero is the only person in this country who really understood the threat from Wahabi extremists. When he revealed what was going on in the Eastern province he was branded as a Buddhist fanatic, Racist, Yellow clad thug without giving due consideration to what he told. If the Government listened to what he said and acted, we could have avoided the carnage.
By putting him behind bars and silencing him did the Government give a boost to these extremists and outsourced a job to them through IS. It is quite possible that IS was used by some other invisible hands. Time will tell where the root ended.
From the amount of explosives and swords uncovered from all corners of the country, they have been preparing for island-wide attacks that could have prompted a backlash. Is that what the Government was expecting so that they could use that to get their and perhaps few others ulterior motives fulfilled?

We know FBI, Scotland Yard, INTERPOL & Australian investigators are on the ground. Lankawe said it has asked official help from China and Pakistan. Pakistan is known to harbor and fund all sort of terrorists. Famously when America worked with Taliban, Pakistan liaised with Taliban. Lankawe rejected any Indian help. But India was the one alerted New King first on the attack. India has arrested the connected parties on the bombing in TN. So India is in a better position to coordinate this investigation.
Yahapalanaya administration very much concerned about India even more than FBI. The two in the power out of the three Trios has so far not publicly rejected the Indian help. It was the one in the opposition ordered India not to send the prepared 100 Black Cats. The Yahapalanaya team is so nervous about their secret deals with ISIS are going to International Agencies’ files, if they allow external investigators to enter the country. Something is suggesting that the Trio on in the opposition may have more role in the bombing as he appears to be highly agitated to protest against getting outside helps.

Don Juan Dharmapala (reincarnated) is allergic to people in the Intelligence Service. He was behind exposing the safe house run by Army Intelligence Unit in Millenium City in 2002 that led to the killing of almost all the members in that unit by LTTE. Traitor!
—–
According to what I hear in TV political discussions, this Government has ruined a highly efficient Intelligence Service built by Sarath Fonseka and Gotabhaya Rajapakse that played a crucial role in defeating LTTE. One guy who appeared in a TV program who claimed that he is an adviser to a top politician asked how it is possible to ruin an Intelligence Service by putting few people behind bars. That guy had no clue about how an Intelligence Service works. There are thousands of people working in Intelligence Service who collect information. Information that come from various sources have to be processed, analyzed and conclusions have to be drawn by those who have the expertise to be fed to the higher ups. Most of the people who were put behind bars were those experts, not ordinary people who collect information. By so doing this Government broke the spine of the Intelligence Service. The same guy asked if Intelligence Service was ruined how come detailed information about the attack came to the Government. Detailed information about the attack came from foreign sources, not from our Intelligence Services. Probably foreign Intelligence Services were more active in this country to give information such as names, addresses, phone numbers and hiding places. I wonder whether there are any Gods that can save this country under such circumstances!!!

“ Probably foreign Intelligence Services were more active in this country to give information such as names, addresses, phone numbers and hiding places. “
Eagle the Blind eye, I am not sure why there is “Probably”. Can you tell me In what Lankawe is better than any other countries in the world other than murder, rape, loot, prostitution, drug, money laundering….
Millennium City was because Ranil and other feared they were going to be murdered. When Kegalle Jayamanne died, New King dismissed Dilrukshi because he feared somebody going to kill him. We don’t know if Namal Kumara is right or wrong. But it was Kerala Thomas, not Lankawe Eagle Eye, supplied the information that Ranil, Ponny and Jeyam were plotting to kill New King.So New King engineed the October Revolution. But it is said Pillaiyan who witnessed in court that Old King asked him to take care of New King. So, even today the Judge refused to bail him out, though there is no case against him.
Anyway what is your point? Because India gave the Info that somebody from TN(, India) was planning to bomb Tamil Churches, New King couldn’t believe India, so he went to Ezhumalaiyan to personally witness if what Indian agents said was happing in TN?
If it is not the Thirukkai Waal flogging, what could be treatment to a bloody foolish Buddhist racist (hates Hinduism) who couldn’t not cancel his Hindu Temple visit when he heard that many prayer places in his country were going be bombed, but went there leisurely and came and explain he could not heed to the warning because it was told by Indian agents? You go to a Nursery school and ask the kids what they would do if they hear somebody shouting bomb-Bomb, what would they do? “Don’t ignore, get out altogether; then call the police!” that will be the answer.

Having ruined the Judiciary, the country seems to lack any trustworthy arbiter to establish the truth in matters of crucial security importance. One cannot at present be blind to the fact the several judges are political appointees and the judiciary is politicised. When the President appoints a judge to head a commission of inquiry, frequently the findings, when not patently absurd are widely disputed, such as in the ACF inquiry, which exonerated the security forces and shifted much of the blame on to the ACF. In the present instance the President obtaining the findings of a judge chosen by him is not going to convince anyone.
The rival faction in the Government has in a press briefing two days ago tried to rake up a 2 ½ year old story, attributed to the Sathhanda (‘quoting sources at the Presidential Secretariat’) and reproduced in the Sri Lanka Mirror on 5 Dec. 2016, accusing Gotabhaya Rajapaksa of being the paymaster for both BBS and Thowheed Jamath. (Rajitha Senaratne 30/4/2019 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJTt2T6DM_8, Uthayan today quotes Eran Wickremaratne as saying almost the same thing.)
Why revive today with hardly any evidence a story which the Government did not take seriously then, more than two years ago? We know that Gotabhaya has a lot to answer for, but he is also entitled to fair treatment in accordance with the law. Nothing is gained by throwing half-baked stories at him for transient propaganda gain. This is the tragedy of this country’s judiciary. The seeker of truth has no point of reference, no one he or she could trust.

Sirisena appears to be acting like a bull in a china shop.
Psychology talks about the ‘self-serving bias’, with researchers discovering that many of us will take the credit for ourselves if things go good in life, but lay blame on circumstance when things go bad.
Below is article ( adopted) , that appareled on a wesibe named Harley Therapy dated September 10, 2015 with URL reference: https://www.harleytherapy.co.uk/counselling/why-we-put-the-blame-on-others.html.
1. Why Do We Blame Other People?
1. Blaming others is Easy.
* Blame means less work as when we blame, we don’t have to be held accountable.
2. Blame means you don’t have to be Vulnerable.
* If we don’t have to be accountable, then we don’t have to be vulnerable.
3. Blaming Others Feeds Your Need for Control.
• Not blaming someone means you have to accept there was a situation where you perhaps didn’t act in ways you are proud of.
• But if you blame someone, then you have control of the story, both past and future – they are bad, hence things happened the way they did, and it’s all their fault, hence you don’t have to deal with it further.
4. Blame Unloads Backed-up Feelings.
• Do you tend to lay blame on others when push comes to shove? It’s likely that you are using blame to unload your emotional pain which you do feel, but are repressing. And it can feel a great relief to unload, so you might be blaming a lot for this very reason.
5. Blame Protects Your Ego.
• Blaming is a form of social comparison that is status-seeking. If you blame someone, it puts you in the superior seat, making you feel more important and the ‘good’ person as opposed to their ‘bad’.

In TV news I saw a TNA politician Senadhiraja saying that people are asking for security and therefore Army should provide security although in the past they said they do not want Army in the North. In the same TV news I saw Sumanthiran saying that Army should leave. Sumanthiran said attacks were in Western and Eastern Provinces and therefore there is no need to keep Army in the North. If Muslim terrorists attacked a Church in Yapanaya I am wondering what Sumnthiran’s position would be? Sumanthiran has nothing to worry because he hardly stays in Yapanaya but the ordinary Demala people who live there are concerned about their security. It is the duty of the Government to provide that security. Like some Sinhala politicians, it looks like Wellala Sumanthiran also does not care much about the lives of ordinary people.
———-
Anyway who is Sumanthiran to dictate terms to the Government where it keeps the Army? This is Sri Lankan soil and not Demala soil. After all it is native Sinhalayo who have been the main victim of terrorist activities carried out by the descendants of people who were brought to this country illegally from Hindusthan by colonial rulers. Therefore, native Sinhalayo have a right to decide how their security is ensured.

The video, aired on the Al Furqan network, is filmed in appropriately Spartan surrounds, but that is neither here nor there. Iraq Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi thinks otherwise linking, erroneously, the making of the film with the current location of the protagonist.
“Regarding the location of Baghdadi, we can’t give intelligence information right now but it’s clear from the video that he’s in a remote area.”
As is the fashion, neither the date nor the authenticity of the recording is verifiable. All else is a wonder, and even the Middle East Monitor is careful to suggest that the speaker was “a bearded man with Baghdadi’s appearance”.
Baghdadi lacks complexity in his message, never straying from the apocalyptic line.
“Our battle today is a battle of attrition, and we will prolong it for the enemy, and they must know that the jihad will continue until Judgment Day.”
He is mindful of the fruitful carnage inflicted by the Eastern Sunday bombers in Sri Lanka, and thanks them. Such acts, he reasons, were retribution for the loss of Baghouz in Syria.[ different theories with respect to why Srilanka was attacked]
