Sri Lankan Media, Western Media - Elections Loom AJZ 23.01.2010

By NoEalamInSL

Its Presidential elections in Sri Lanka. Unlike previous 5 presidential elections in1982, 88, 94, 99, 2005, this presidential election is held under one law, one president, and one country. The Sri Lanka is freed from LTTE brutal terrorism after Eelam War IV ended on 19th May 2009. Ever since President Rajapakse came to power in 2005, Sri Lanka has been on continuous development despite the bloody Eelam war IV erupted in 2006 against LTTE. The war was 24-7 for 2 years time and against super powers wishes. President Rajapakse not only fought a war against the most brutal terrorist organzation in the world, the LTTE but also against pro-LTTE west media and super powers' diplomatic intimidations in UN, UNHRC ad other intitutions including ICRC, HRW lead by same super powers; USA, UK, EU whom are still fighting their enemy Al Qaeda while President Mahinda Rajapakse not only totally eliminated LTTE and won the war but also accomplished 90% of his promises given to his people. What the west and the western media and its local agents here in Sri Lanka still struggling are try and manupilate the ground realities in Sri Lanka. They will again hear from Sri Lankans on the 26th January 2010 that they are not only wasteful but also brainless creatures!

The FBI called LTTE the most ruthless terrorists in the world followed by Al Qaeda the number one enemy of USA and its allies (March 2006) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2lvfrWcLDl0 ) The war against Al qaeda terrorrist was supported by every state of the world while the war against LTTE was supported by only few countries. Surprisingly the superpowers US, UK, EU objected the Mahinda Rajapakse's war against LTTE. President Mahinda Rajapakse Government might not be perfect yet it is the best government Sri Lanka ever had. There are certainly room for improvement but it is unlikely that Sri Lankans will choose another candidate as the President of Sri Lanka in 2010! Anti-Rajapakse-front (as appear on this video)also criticises President Rajapakse for sending a personalized greeting to his peoples mobile phone on the new year day. A personilzed greeting to a mobile seems an innovative thought by a president. I would definitely be delighted to have such a greeting from the president my country on the new year day. It gives me an impression of a symbol of a friendly nation. But unfortunately they use his friendliness as a tool to attack the president. Do they expect us to imitate their western norms and values? Or are they trying to imply western standards in Sri Lanka? We, Sri Lankans belong to a collective culture, it differs from western induvidualistic culture. You may have absorbed western norms, values and atttitudes but do not criticise Sri Lanka in western perspectve. Sri Lanka is a hot topic for both businessmen and politians alike, especially for the West Europeans, because giving a critic on Sri Lankan government attracts millions of Tamils around the world. They are very busy these days attacking President Mahinda Rajapakse government to try to defeat him at vote on 26th Jan 2010. So they are sending their media agents and UN Special Rapporteurs on TV, You Tube, renewing outdated, discarded issues like Channel4 Executions, media attacks, killings, as well as new staged granade attack of Tiran Allas to tarnish Sri Lanka. These deliberate manipulations and intimidations are directed at Mahinda Rajapakse who fought and won a war which super powers embarrassed of. They invaded Iraq, post war investigations and commissions (NL, UK, USA) concluded that the war against Iraq was illegal but none of these media gave such a publicity as they do for Sri Lanka. Is this called unbaised reoprting and reporting with responsibility in west part of the world? The human rights violaions, media threats, corruptions and thuggery have been decreased since the end of war in May 2009, as it is said here. But some journalist who makes comments on free media 7:43 doesnt even allow readers to make a critc in his blog. Before pointing out others, it is wise to criticize your own attitude and to be an example to others.

Dr. Palitha Kohana:
With regard to the west, we had some difficulties mainly owing to the fact that the LTTE had a well oiled propaganda machine operating in western capitals and in various international agencies. They influenced the policy makers in such a way that they tended to take a fairly sympathetic view of the LTTE. The president has consistently maintained that Sri Lanka is a non-aligned country, and therefore, we have to ensure that good relations are maintained with all countries. There was a time when we were not getting what we needed from the west including military material and funding for our development efforts. President Rajapaksa turned to other friends India, Iran, China and Russia.

This is a power struggle between rich and poor classes. MR comes from south of Sri Lanka, Hambanthota, the most neglected discrict for decades. People are very poor. The rich upper class in Colombo is jealous of Mahinda Rajapakse achievements. MR has developed a lot of rural neglected parts of the island and he is therefore very popular among poor sinhalese. Those soldiers who fought against LTTE are from poor families. They feel the significance of the victiory of war. Rich not.

The article of "STF finds arms cache, Fonsekas posters at temple " on sundayobserver on 2010.01.24, says STF found granades and two T56 guns in a temple. It investigates if there is any connection with granade attack at Tiran Allas' residence. These election violences are to entertain west Euopeans. Like in Iran, they want to throw out governments not complyng with their orders. These r reasons for discrediting Mahinda Rajapakse government. Reasonable critics are welcome to correct MR.

The media people in your interview only represent less than 5% of the Sri Lankan populations. These people work for media companies funded by wealthiest people in Sri Lanka. This woman in particular, speaks for their money. Government media serves the common people. All the fabrications are come from these private or foreign funded media. Ranil murdered his own people to put the blame on others. It is the practice of LTTE terrorists and their agents. You cannot fool our people again.

The violance you report is lesser than what you see in London on any particular day. All these violance done by the agents funded by evil foreign forces so that they can paint a bad name on Sri Lankans and their citizens. Shame on you and your unethical news service, Look violance committed by your sponsors all over the world. Criminals.
