A terrible day for the good people of Sri Lanka. Who would do this and why? There are never any easy answers in Sri Lanka and even fewer honest ones.

Miss Information now censored by Sri Lanka Defense Forum! This is almost too funny!

I have been busy making fools of the nutters over at SLDF and they have started pulling my posts as they are not happy when made to look as completely dim as they are.

After a back and forth with one exceptionally dull propagandist I posted this response and sure enough.... blammo... gone like an invincibility myth on the lagoons of LTTE decimation.

Enjoy!

Thushita quoted Miss Information who said...


"This blog did not exist then.

Also, there is very little posting quality to suggest any military folks other than maybe a grunt or two.

Content tells the tale."


Thushita then replied...


"This is the continuation of DW blog. All the people who were in DW are in this blog.

Missy, maybe you R the one who haven't got the message yet. VP is dead. All the LTTE cadres and your bullshit hype about a all mighty LTTE heroes are gone after being ass fuck** in Nanthikadal lagoon.

Therefore what is the value of Military men hanging out here. They most probably would be reading the blog with interest until such time they need to appear. There will be no LTTE for another thousand years, what we broke at PKT is myth of Terrorism."


******


What a staggering pile of steaming bovine fecal residue.

Let's just take a moment and look at this babble... mind you introducing logic and fact to this crowd is a bit like trying to explain a 3D movie to a one-eyed dog with brain damage but we'll have a go at it anyway.


"This is the continuation of DW blog. All the people who were in DW are in this blog.


Wrong.

DefenseWire is still active although barely... why even your own Moshe just posted there recently. Nowhere on DefenceWire do they recognise this blog so for a poster like Thushita to give this blog credit for something another blog did months before this one even existed is specious at best and in truth downright plain stupid.


Missy, maybe you R the one who haven't got the message yet. VP is dead. All the LTTE cadres and your bullshit hype about a all mighty LTTE heroes are gone after being ass fuck** in Nanthikadal lagoon.


Another perfect example of somebody lying with absolute disregard for the facts.

I am well on record across the blogosphere from Puligal to DefenceWire as being both anti-LTTE as well as being strongly against a separatist movement or solution.

I dare the poster to find one quote of mine to suggest otherwise. He can't and like Pole Dancer (or whatever that lunk's handle is) is now stuck with the egg of an obvious fabrication on his face.



Okay... the next part is priceless in its mind-numbing stupidity.


...what is the value of Military men hanging out here. They most probably would be reading the blog with interest until such time they need to appear."


What is the Value of military men hanging out at a blog about defence that claims to be the continuation of another blog called "DefenceWire"?


Oh where to start?

Imagine you went to visit a blog about rocket science. You go there to learn a few things in hopes that the information is good... perhaps information from... I don't know... say.... ROCKET SCIENTISTS????

Maybe just information that ROCKET SCIENTISTS have viewed and agreed with?

You see... A rocket science blog without a rocket scientist or two is likely filled with bad information... intentional or not. Having a Rocket Scientist or two around brings some credibility to the blog and the information within.


So having some military folks around a defence blog...


There will be no LTTE for another thousand years, what we broke at PKT is myth of Terrorism.

This propagandist doesn't even bother to read the other propagandists on the blog or he might be marginally aware that virtually everyone of his "peers" here is saying this election is a continuation of the war and that the terrorists are still a looming threat thanks to the "traitor" SF.



In summation:

Dear ThuShita,

In an effort to keep garbage off the internet could you please refrain from posting until such time you have something intelligent and or verifiable to say.

By constantly bombarding this blog with your well established crap you manage to further erode what little credibility this blog has to start with.


Thank-you in advance for your co-operation on this matter.

Here is my response to them... a response they will likely also not publish. I posted it at 6:59am blog time... let's see how long it lasts. {edit: it lasted about twenty minutes... post 148... formerly!}


"Bwahahahahaa!


Hey SLDF Admins... You are nuking my posts now?


Hifuckin'larious it is.


You guys sure like to dish it out but are thin-skinned cowards when it comes time to take it!


What's the matter... a bit of a verbal truth-fest too much for you?

Are you worried about readers getting exposed to fair and logical arguments that show the many lies and distortions that feebly attempt to pass themselves as facts around here?

I can see why you folks are so happy to be in bed with the Chinese... censorship versus freedom of expression is a common crutch of the morally weak.


I'll take all of this as a complement and validation of my various assertions... assertions you folks are too sack-less to publish.


Oh... and you are too afraid to even note you deleted my post? Are you really that sad a lot?


It seems so."

And so it goes in the world of third tier propagandists.



Meanwhile, the PE campaign is both nasty and violent and about to come to an end. I predict MR will win with somewhere near 56% of the vote as counted. I hugely doubt there isn't significant vote-rigging on both sides with the GoSL holding most of the advantage.

What should be interesting is what happens to whichever candidate is defeated, given they have both called each other out as corrupt with claims of traitor and war-criminal popping up constantly.

One would hope that whoever wins will calm down the rhetoric and seek conciliation with the vanquished but that is not likely.

How to set up a perfect lose-lose situation

If one can stomach the endless bile and drivel of the latest blog promoting the extremist right (wrong) in Sri Lanka, there is a wonderful example of someone throwing a stupid party and the A-list attending in force... perfect for those who study lowest common denominator propaganda.

I speak to you of the Sri Lanka Defence Forum, the latest and greatest repository of lunatic fringe viewpoints on Sri Lankan politics.

Built on the tepid ashes of DefenceWire it has, in very short order, leaped to the front of the battle for tired and untried minds married to the flimsy tales of the craziest of racial formalists on the Tear-drop Island.

For a trip down a lane of silly conspiracies, illogical suppositions and just plain dumb-ass racist apologies this is the place to go but be warned... anyone who disagrees with the pugilistic pundits and pedants there will undoubtedly be threatened with a white van visit and or added to the list of "scummies" who have betrayed the country and should be punished as traitors.

If it weren't such a sad and real slice of chauvinistic hatred it would almost be funny given the artless and puerile attempts at propaganda that litter its floors of ignorance.

********

Meanwhile, the folks at the Sunday Leader continue to refuse my posts on their discussion pages. I am not sure why and perhaps my latest will finally get approved but in the likelihood it won't I offer it here.

This was in reply to an article regarding 13.5 million dubious SMS messages from MR on January 1st.


(Comment awaiting moderation... as usual)


MR finds himself in a difficult position of his own doing and in trying to make the best of a bad decision (calling an election well ahead of schedule) has helped show the world what a difficult situation Sri Lanka finds itself in.

Between himself and SF it is obvious that the next President is going to be one with a murky financial past, a possible war-crimes indictment waiting for them as well as some inescapable complicity in any number of nefarious activities ranging from white van episodes to cover-ups in judicial investigations.

Neither of these men have hands clean enough to slaughter chickens, let alone hold anything close to a torch of democracy, but they remain the only politically viable choices.

As the lesser of two evils SF represents corruption on a smaller scale but only because MR and his family have turned out to be massively insensitive to any and all laws and have firmly entrenched themselves in private and Government business... good luck trying to clean up a clan like that.

This foolishly called election, as well as the ensuing and immensely indiscreet personal attacks between former allies, is going to result in a race where nobody wins. The real question is how to contain the losses and those losses will be both monetary as well as loss of face on the world stage.

Whoever wins is going to be answering for a number of war actions on and off the battlefield in addition to trying to avoid corruption charges and all the while having to follow-up charges made against their vanquished opponent.

If SF looses and faces corruption and treason charges does anyone think he will go gently into the night? If SF wins he faces the daunting prospect of dismantling the Rajapaksa "family business/government racket" and surely MR is not going to take that lightly.

How could SF not send MR and his family through an extensive investigation after all he and his side have promised in terms of dealing with corruption? How can a victorious MR not send SF to the dock for the many criminal acts he and his cronies have claimed of SF?

Sri Lanka does not need some dark and mysterious international conspiracy to cause it great hardship... its wounds are self-inflicted by men whose egos and greed are purely home-grown and without personal or national boundaries.

That MR would use any means possible to ensure victory should come as no surprise to anyone be it legal or otherwise and one need only look at the way he and his government conducted their war on journalists and the war against the terrorists.

At a time when the country needs leaders who understand and can deal in compromise we are about to see everything wrong with being forced to elect unworthy men in an unnecessary election during an ill-chosen time.

All of this falls onto the shoulders of MR who deserves to lose the election if only for being so stupid to call it in the first place.

The War Crimes game as played by idiots.

Here is the path to UN sponsored Sri Lankan war crime tribunals both so far trod as well as to come.

*********

We start with too many unchecked egos looking to keep a grip on power post-war.

After coming to terms with the true scope of MR's precipitated and tacit corruption SF goes looking for bigger rewards and is not only denied but humiliated (at least in his view) with the response.

SF decides to play a game of chicken with MR and his coterie by running against MR.

Both sides start to increase their war of words to the point that SF drops a bombshell in an interview with the Sunday Leader and ups the game of chicken by implicating both civilian politicians and senior Military commanders in war crimes.

(For the record... this scribe is not certain how, in the heat of battle with a ruthless enemy sworn not to be taken alive and proven to have utilised civilian suicide bombers to attack and kill, one can determine the real intentions of such an enemy "surrendering". If I were commanding men in this situation their safety would be far more important to me than the safety of the enemy leadership and their respective family members. It would be inexcusable if somebody allowed troops to die by yet another LTTE terrorist ruse. Unless the President was on the line saying "DO NOT shoot" I would take zero chances… but this will not be the meat of any War Crime trial though it makes for a splashy headline that gets world-wide attention.)

Besides horribly undoing his own position, SF has to face the inevitable accusation that he was involved with white van activities (a rogue operation of his own doing no doubt) by MR and his gang.

The next jump is the investigation into SF’s illegal activities and his subsequent arrest for what will be a seemingly longer and longer list of illegal and unpatriotic activities before and after his retirement.

When it comes to this stage we get to see if…

A: SF refuses to surrender to police, the subsequent potential of his forced arrest… and all of the dangers that come with that.

B: SF bolting the country for safer pastures (the US anybody?) from where to start his stepped-up releasing of war activities that serve to further implicate MR and GR in a sea of scandal. He may do this after making a sweetheart deal with the Americans and the World Court in the Hague so he can testify against the brothers and thus win a war of attrition in which both sides and, worst of all Sri Lanka, lose.

Neither of these jokers is fit to run the country and the people deserve much better.

To make matters worse this is a self-inflicted wound by two men whose greed, inflated egos and avarice will do more harm to Sri Lanka than any so-called puppet or third party could ever dream of.

.

Mere and unfounded speculation... I swear!

I see General Fonseka has been well rewarded for his estimable service to Country and King. Perhaps somebody can explain to me how a man of his considerable military accomplishments can end up as a third tier bureaucrat in an all but meaningless ministry?

I am sure this has nothing to do with his discreet inquiries into the dealings of his former defense minister regarding military purchases and real-estate negotiations with the Chinese.


None what so ever.


Of course if that was the case no journalist in Sri Lanka would dare to investigate the story for fear of death.


So much for freeing the country at the expense of thousands of soldiers and civilians.




}{MI}{

Blame everyone but Sri Lankans

There is not now, nor has there been for years, a shortage of small-minded propagandists on either side of the Sri Lankan political divide. From the Pro GoSL apologists who fail to see the obvious retreat from democracy and decency that is the Rajapaska regime, to the conveniently blinkered supporters of the terrorist and murderer Prabhakaran, and both of these camps rely endlessly on the propagated myths that any and all who oppose their point of view are paid lackeys of their opposite numbers.

Sri Lanka will never awake from its troubled sleep so long as so many are willing to enjoy the kool-aid offered by the extremists on both sides of the problem.

In the end it will be more than the Tamil minorities who suffer as the present rot will eventually turn what should be a paradise on earth into nothing more than a despotic regime bent on enabling a smaller and smaller elite in their quenchless thirst for money and power.

The following is a transcript from a press conference in Harare today in which Zimbobsway President Robert Mugabe addresses his Government’s startling announcement that Zimbobsway has conducted a number of secretive Moon landings and has laid sovereign claim to its entire dark side.



Steve Uperlipp, BBC: “Your Excellency, thank you for taking time to appear before us and let me be the first to congratulate the people of Zimbabwe for this amazing, though yet documented technological feat.”

H.E. RH Mugabe: “You are welcome and do you have an intelligent question or are you only here to promote a colonial agenda wielded by western forces bent on re-subjugating the people of Zimbobsway under racist British rule again?”

Steve Uperlipp, BBC:”Allow me to be direct then Mr. President. The world is highly skeptical about your Government claims to have colonized the dark side of the Moon and will the Government of Zimbobsway be releasing pictures of any part of Zimbobsway’s previously unheard of space programme?”

H.E. RH Mugabe: “So typical of westerners like you to bristle now when the word colonisation comes into play. Where were your lofty concerns when the British and their cheap friends were raping the people and robbing the lands of Zimbobsway? We are colonising the moon under the just laws of our constitution and unlike our former colonial masters we are not systematically redistributing the lands across a toxic racial field of class and birthright. Does somebody with half a brain have a question?”

Mihair Du, Times of India: “His Excellency Mr. President Mugabe sir, all through-out beautiful and peaceful India, even in the Kashmir, people are asking where are these pictures from your Moon colony and will this colony be needing to outsource low-level IT services? If so will your Government consider the plight of the millions of Moonies in India and elsewhere when offering such a contract?”

H.E. RH Mugabe: “I would think that coming from a country with so many fine schools you might know that the dark side of the moon is just that… dark. Picture taking is very difficult in the darkness of space. Besides, it is impossible to provide the kind of pictures the west is clamouring for as they are highly classified and why would we help them steal our ideas for space travel and settlement? As for any Moonies outside of Zimbobswaen territory, all I can do is reassure them that every Moonie in Zimbobsway has and will continue to have the same rights as every other Zimbobswaen as guaranteed by our constitutions here on Earth and on the Moon.

Mihair Du, Times of India: “With all due respect to His Excellency Mr. President Mugabe sir, maybe a picture or two of the rockets you need to send men and equipment to the Moon would help assuage concerns about your credibility on this issue.”

H.E. RH Mugabe: “Even with the best efforts of our internal security forces, the finest and most professional internal security forces in the world, the occasional western spy still manages to get into our African paradise of democracy and peace. Arrest this man.”

Nodda Effin-Klew, CNN: “Mr. President, how can you honestly expect anyone on earth to believe such clearly impossible fantasy? Besides not having enough money to feed half of the country, unemployment at 80% , inflation rates in the millions annually, Zimbobsway has never had an Aerospace industry, never launched a satellite and has no known capacity in the area of interplanetary travel, related communications and logistics as well as no known partners who might have any of those essential assets.”

H.E. RH Mugabe: “I can’t tell for sure if you are a man or a woman with that haircut but going by that outfit we will go with badly dressed Lesbian… something we don’t have in the workers Paradise of Zimbobsway. The people of Zimbobsway have undertaken huge sacrifice to make this happen and now, after many years of wondering where all of the Government money was going they are even more than their usual the happiest people in the world. Why do you come here with nothing but lies and hatred in your heart… is that normal for all so-called American Journalists?”

Nodda Effin-Klew, CNN: “Mr. President. You have not addressed one reasonable question or provided one iota of evidence to support this outlandish fairy-tale you are clinging to. Can you or can you not offer the world even the smallest table-scrap of verifiable information that substantiates any single part of this highly disputed and widely ridiculed story?”

H.E. RH Mugabe: “The racist and fascist governments of the west look for any reason, real or imagined, to tarnish the shining glow of democracy and harmony that is the Paradise of Zimbobsway. We live in quiet triumph knowing that one day the rest of the world will eventually find their way to the Moon and discover the truth about the many and wonderful accomplishments of the Government of Zimbobsway. We are not swayed by the lies of media lackeys enslaved by the bribes of our enemies and are not deterred in any manner by the relentless attacks of the jealous and envious puppets of the west who need look no further than the many crashes of their own spacecraft and expansionist war machines in the Persian Gulf before criticising us.

All patriotic Zimbobswaens know that their Government and its Military and internal security forces are the best in the world and have nothing but peaceful love and concern for their fellow citizens at heart. If the Government of Zimbobsway says something, no matter what it is, you can stand before the gods of your choice and tell them such as fact.

We have been to the Moon many times and have started a settlement programme on the dark side. I myself have personally been there on more than one occasion. My word itself, as everybody knows, is Gospel truth so that alone is all the so-called proof any sane man needs.

Tell me, can you look up at the Moon and say with absolute certainty that Zimbobsway has not settled its dark side? Have you ever even seen the dark side of the moon? No you haven’t but like so many other obvious agents of the west you would come here and try to dampen the national sense of joyous achievement the Zimbobswean people are celebrating across this bountiful land thanks to our unparalleled successes in space travel.”

Nodda Effin-Klew, CNN: “The people in the streets are rioting over food shortages, they are not celebrating Zimbobsway's settlement of the Moon or its fictitious space program.”

H.E. RH Mugabe: “I was all prepared to open up our space technology facilities to a few select and respectable journalists from the west but it clear from dealing with the likes of you that it is in Zimbobsway’s national interest to keep foreign journalists out of these restricted areas. Once again the west has made a series of racist and demeaning demands on the legitimate Government of Zimbobsway and now must suffer the consequences of its continued meddling in the internal affairs of a great and peaceful democratic nation.

All of you foreign journalists leave My Country now and don’t even think about keeping your cameras, recorders and computers. There are plenty of white “courtesy vans” parked out front, ready to drive you indirectly to the airport... there are enough for all of you so help yourself to our generosity now, before I change my mind.”

Kagiso Buttons, GOZnws.com: “Your Excellency Mr. President… On this, one of the greatest of the countless great days the people of Zimbobsway have enjoyed since you took office, is there any more news on our incredible triumph of technology and will that you can share with the Nation without giving fuel to the fiery witch hunts of the desperate western haters of Zimbobsway?”

H.E. RH Mugabe: “Finally, an intelligent question. For reasons of our national security we must keep most of our actions in space a secret and therefore most of our moral and technological victories over the repressive regimes of the west will remain known to few for now. I can tell you that we have moved so far along in our colonization that we are ready to send Government of Zimbobsway members permanently to the dark side of the Moon.

To illustrate the high degree of respect we have for mankind’s first foray into extra-terrestrial habitation we will soon be honoring the spread of democracy into the cosmos by appointing Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai to the post of First Solar Governor. You can expect him to disappear from the national view soon and then be certain he has left on his mission to serve his permanent lunar mission for the glory of Zimbobswaens everywhere.

Kagiso Buttons, GOZnws.com: “Your Excellency Mr. President… is there anything you would like to say to the western dogs, their agents of evil in the ranks of INGO’s and newspapers columnists and the rest of Zimbobsway’s haters across the globe?

H.E. RH Mugabe: We in Zimbobsway are the only Government in history to achieve space travel and settlement and have done so without so much as the loss of one single life or even a single broken bone. Our world’s best Military and Internal Security forces managed a feat never before known to human endeavour. Filthy swine-flu countries like America lost many innocent lives to the sloppy and ill-managed approach to space travel they practice and have left a trail of garbage and junk in their wake to go along with so many negligent deaths. These are the same capitalist swindlers we have humbled with our unprecedented victories and who now seek any means to discredit the heroic work of our Military and Internal Security personal, many of whom gave their lives to save those of their beloved fellow countrymen who accidentally wandered onto various launching pads at the wrong time.

It is the action of our fallen heroes we need to honour now, as without them we could never have achieved such an historic victory over the west and its imperialist cronies.


Our time here is finished. I must leave now to meet with our London lawyers who are preparing a copyright infringement lawsuit against the western music group and British Government stooges, Pink Floyd.


Thank you all and good afternoon.”


End of press conference


____________________________________________


Asking any reasonable person to believe that a war fought with hundreds of thousands of civilians in harms way, a war that claimed over six thousand lives and thirty thousand injuries to GoSL troops, a war that killed many thousands of LTTE fighters, a war that saw millions of rounds of munitions fired and countless thousands of rounds of artillery fire, a war that raged over three years... Asking anybody with an IQ above that of a houseplant to believe that a war like that saw Zero, repeat, Zero civilian casualties due to Government troops is absurd and insulting but that is the official... repeat again, that is the official story of the GoSL who wonder why so many foreign journalists and foreign Governments question their basic honesty.

With thousands of dead civilians, many thousands more injured and huddled in crude camps it is beyond the pale to try and continue such a clear and disputable lie as the Zero Civilian Casualty myth being promulgated by the GoSL.

Here is the David Frost interview in which, shortly before the final battle, the Sri Lankan Foreign Affairs Minister speaks of this absurd proclamation... go to the 1min 15sec point and start there.

From Here there is a GoSL claim that the deadly fighting in the Eastern Province was conducted without a single civilian casualty attributable to them... not even so much as one stray bullet glancing off an unfortunate elbow. Such claims are as mind-boggling as Robert Mugabe visiting outposts on the Moon. They defy common sense and the relentless laws of probability.

If we look a bit closer of the laws of probability we can match up established and empirical evidence against the specious and PR challenged claims of the GoSL... claims that serve to undermine every message they offer the world.

******************

Lets start with the numbers as we know them, beginning with almost 40,000 GoSL forces injuries including over 6,000 deaths.

Friendly fire has been a documented aspect of warfare for hundreds of years and continues today in every area of armed conflict. Great lengths to avoid this have been taken by most modernised armed forces in the world but none who have been to war or are presently at war can say it hasn't happened to them. There are too many crucial moments in every battle to ensure that all goes to plan and anything from a misidentified sniper target to an incorrect artillery position can and does happen.

Some who study the problem present statistics from WW2 that claim 18% of all Allied injuries were from friendly fire but even if the number is one tenth that it still represents tens of thousands of affected servicemen and women.

If we apply a very low percentage of friendly fire incidents in Sri Lanka, say 3%, we end up with over 1,000 injuries of soldiers at the hand of their comrades. Further reducing it to 1% leaves over three hundred probable injuries and I can find no published claim by any government to suggest anything close to a 1% friendly fire casualty rate having ever been achieved in prolonged, major modern warfare.

How can the Armed forces of Sri Lanka have managed to wage a vicious ground war in mostly jungle terrain that certainly cost them hundreds of friendly fire casualties if not thousands, kills thousands of LTTE cadres and yet somehow miraculously does not produce civilian casualties by their hands even though the civilian casualties are huge and well documented?



This is ludicrous. The GoSL are offering themselves up for another mugging by walking through the bad side of PR town in a dense fog of their own propaganda making.


I will return with more fog-busting stats shortly and eventually offer some "Just how stupid were the LTTE" numbers to consider as well.
