The General was seen as a threat to the dictatorship of the sibling triumvirate, and so he was conveniently incarcerated on trumped up charges, hoping he would quietly fade into oblivion. All his battlefield medals have been forfeited, all references to him in history and all the various memorials have been removed, and a concerted effort has been made to ...
If this is the proof one needed it is simply slam dunk evidence. After all when the Chief Justice of Sri Lanka, proceeded to Parliament on the 23rdas requested/ordered by the PSC, the usually upright police who even salute street thugs who they take orders from, DID NOT salute her. Apparently it is customary to salute judges and so not ...

Emboldened by the mistaken sense of importance over the Halal issue, which in retrospect was a non issue, which as I have pointed out earlier, a Hijacked ACJU fell victim to of their own extremists, the BBS have entered a more dangerous and incendiary phase of going to the heart of places of worship.They have not given up the demand ...
It should come as no surprise to the people that the much hyped Ethanol ban, a little over a month ago, along with the full publicity given to the two Ethanol containers of high strength alcohol which was apprehended, is now followed by a reversal of the ban, and further with NO upper limit on the Ethanol strength. Earlier prior ...
As if it was bad enough to go berserk in parliament, where Vijith Vijayamuni Soysa http://www.lankadeepa.lk/index.php/articles/78637 made an ass of himself complaining that 135 of his sycophants could not be seated at the same time and be given lunch in the visitors dining room in Parliament, he had to make an ass of himself on the floor of the house ...
It is ironic that in the land of the lotus eaters, their future is being determined today, and 99.9% of the citizens don’t even know about it. Do they wish to know? That too is a moot point!The Supreme Court today will hear the arguments for and against in one of the most important if not THE MOST IMPORTANT DECISION ...
As if this statement needs any clarification, it is just too obvious! We cannot have an administration that daily says one thing and does something completely different. If one considers the utterances, especially of the Leader, one could be forgiven for believing that he speaks sense. However to make such statements and act in contravention of them is the order ...
Parliament was discussing the budget votes for Education yesterday, 20thNovember 2012. It is very sad that Education being one of the Cornerstones of Sri Lanka’s growth, and future was given such Step motherly treatment, firstly by incompetent Government Spokesman who need to be educated on what Education means, and the Opposition spokesman who did not add a memorable argument to ...
Impeachment is the NEW WORD OF THE MOMENT and SHIRANI BANDARANAYAKE the person in the spotlight. PRADEEP KARIYAWASAM is the fall guy of the Govt. So what happens now? Pradeep Kariyawasam should expose the names of those who used him as the fall guy for their personal ends, and made money out of the NSB deal to purchase TFC shares.Then ...
The Sinhala Sunday papers are full of the gruesome details of the killing of the Chief Incumbent Monk of the Sunandonanda Viharaya in Egodauyana, Moratuwa. So why was he killed, by whom and why were his alleged killers who were arrested, found murdered some distance away in Bandaragama? This creates more questions than answers. So the Police also get protection ...
What a resplendent Island this would have been if not for some jokers who hail from Hambantota, and more precisely by way of Hambantota, as they hail from other places. One family distinctly hails from Malaya and the other from the innards of Colombo, both of which have destroyed this country to its knees, whilst showing a false veneer to ...
Especially to those who are closest to the Government, realize under what kind of noose you are currently in. It is better for us who are not under such a stranglehold, At least we have the luxury of a clear head to think. Your heads must be spinning wondering who or what is under your bed when you go to ...
A bozo (a stupid or insignificant man) has been let loose by the people of this Country to lead them. He has gathered to his fold the criminals with a record that requires protection so we have a country run by Criminals. Worse the Bozo himself has just admitted it as such, you can understand by reading the link below ...
It is VITALLY important for an objective reader and thinker to understand the Government media strategy and disinformation led propaganda, to convince the general public of its snow white behavior, this time as it relates to the impeachment motion against the CJ.It was CORRECT for the opposition to question the inconsistency of the CJ and her spouse in the capacity ...
The funny thing is that the fonny factor is nothing but a flash in the pan. We had a while to digest his commutation of his sentence and he has not done ANYTHING for us to believe he is a different person from the individual who was incarcerated unjustly as an act of revenge by the ruling clique, for shouting ...
The reason is Education! While we think we are a highly educated nation, we are really a nation of incredible fools. I took the heading of my last blog entry, namely “We are contemplating a program to educate parents and society with regard to rape and protection of children, RATHER than imposing punishment by law.” From yesterday’s Island paper and ...
This is a political blog with personal views, which attempts to give something more to the armchair discussions taking place throughout the country everyday about the state of the Nation.I have lately stated my views on monumental Government incompetence and their way of pulling the rug from under by the distractions of yet another series of elections, this time Provincial ...
I have lately on against our mainstream media in a big way accusing them of being just purveyors of lies, using the SF pardon as the current example. We should know by now, that we should take whatever the President of the country says with a pinch of salt, as he never speaks the truth, nor intends to. It is ...
