The empty foreign suit
Good government, like theater, can be pretty much made up. The LTTE has empty storefronts in Killinochi that almost look like a real state. Kim Il Jung can put onto fantastic shows. In various places the trains have run on time. In Sri Lanka, however, it is most definitely amateur hour. Foreign Minister Boggles just voted to expel Pakistan from the Commonwealth. A commendable position, if our arms dependent government actually said it. But we didn’t, Boggles vote was the opposite of our ‘official’ position. Weeks ago Mahinda issued a circular banning all media coverage of the war, and then rescinded it a few days later. If you can’t beat the press, you can always burn it. In another huge faux pas, the former LTTEr Karuna was found in the UK on a Sri Lankan diplomatic passport. ‘Kokila Gunawardene’ was there to attend an environmental conference, and some official Ministry had given him fake papers. Perhaps its rude to ask, but are there any grown ups in charge?
At one point, granting fake documents to a mobster was enough to fire the head of the cricket board. Now the nation is issuing false passports to known terrorists to get them passage into London. What whaat? The Sri Lankan government also makes quite a few backward votes, but now it seems that our Foreign Minister is making foreign policy as he goes along. And this is just one in a line of cock-ups. Evicting Tamils in Colombo lodges – then apologizing. Shutting down ABC Radio, then reopening it after a convenient cross over. The JHU getting its duty-free car allowances, and then arguing to raise the duties. Oh, and then the UNP crossovers offering the UNP a national government and Ranil the premiership – and then promptly denying it. This doesn’t even begin on the crazy stuff they propose and do anyway.
The really good bad governments simply continue lying in the face of anything, through any war or hurricane. The good good ones apologize, sack someone and try to govern better. This one is neither here nor there. We just look rather silly.
How’s the public there view all of this? Is it aware of all of this? Is the gov given a pass because they’ve made gains in the war?
Just caught Bogglesworth saying on telly that Sri Lanka had come out of the Commonwealth summit proving to the world that we have clearly established our position in relation to India & Pakistan. Right. I mean if your father says, “Hey kid, couldja just pop by the house and shoot Mum” you’d kinda ask “Are you sure, Dad?” right? Apparently not.
Meanwhile back at the ranch, I’m seriously debating whether we should pay taxes, since we get nothing for it. Have you seen the Colombo roads? Darley Rd, Union Pl, Duplication from Kolpetty-Bamba, and most of Ward Pl (amongst others) are now practically undrivable.
rohitha is just a joker, foreign affiars it too much for him. Mahinda Samarasinghe would have been the guy, I dont know why he wasnt given that.
More details abt roads and infrastructure , please? Out of country, so dont see that side, but put aside politcs on that though.
MR does a good job internationally by representing our country in national dress and local language, just that he need to pick the right guy for Foreign minister post. Managala was a joker too.
Looks like rest of the UNP is also coming to Mahinda after Dec 14th, leaving ranil alone to himself with just the UNP nameboard! He is definietly set for 15th and 16th election defeats! he can presediential election for third tme and get lost again in front of MR, who has sucked up entire UNP. The poor joker. Why cant he understand at least now that no one wants him and leave in dignity?
HOLY SHIT!! ………. So who’s going to support our war now….. this is ridiculous ……… Foreign minister can’t do what he wants when it comes to international decisions , Such idiots
Mangala is no joker.
He is an extremely clever man. To begin with, he more than anyone else, is responsible for MR’s election, the entire ‘negative campaign’ – for that is what it was, was orchestrated by him. MR was a colourless non-entity prior to the presidential campaign – 42 years in politics, 30 in opposition, 10 as labour minister and 2 as prime minister.
Hence, the skill of the man in position MR as being the antithesis of RW and the UNP. The campaign circled around anti-CFA, anti-LTTE, anti-foreigner, anti-NGO etc.
Mangy was doing a fair job in the foreign ministry, and it was because he opposed the appointment of party loyalists over career diplomats that he lost his position.
Read his interview in the Nation, will try and dig it up it will give you a measure of the man.
I used to hate him with a passion but I have a lot of respect for him now.
This is the interview in question
http://www.nation.lk/2007/06/24/inter1.htm
If we don’t pay taxes, the politicos would prolly come over to our houses and take whatever they want. They need to sustain their fancy lifestyles no? I saw a another hole appear in wellawatta and it was promptly fixed within a matter of about two weeks. Yea.. traffic was crazy…
Also, tax rupees are hard at work every wednesday, thursday, friday and saturday at some of the clubs in town. you must go check it out…
What did he expect would arise out of a campaign fuelled by “anti-CFA, anti-LTTE, anti-foreigner, anti-NGO etc.” sentiments? A moderate? A man of compromise and cooperation? Was this MR guy in a trance when he was orchestrating the campaign or did it come on after he was removed?
Correct.
All those Ranil=LTTE supporting foreigners (media/UN/ICRC/oslo)should be thrown out of SriLanka.
Koti Hybrid mongrels like David Blacker should be deported to Portugal.
Tamils should be deported enmass to TamilNadu.
Those who are left should be executed completely(males) and employed for entertaining our soldiers(girls).
All the depopulated areas of NE should be colonised by Sinhala farmers.
A few loyal obedient Tamils like Douglas ,Pillaiyan,Karuna and Anandsangaree may be allowed to stay, but without all the pomp and weapons which they are accustomed to.
I pray to all Sinhalese to pressure the Govt and Gota to wipe out LTTE and Tamil MF maggots and at same time employ these policies fast, we have little time left.
The International Community has supported us completely till now, but if Bush goes we may not get a chance to implement above policies.
LMSSAO!
Lol. Looks like Asithri has managed to get off the meth long enough to find another site other than DefNet (http://defencenet.blogspot.com/), where he provides Mervyn Silvaesque entertainment. He’s semi-literate and has an IQ slightly above clinically retarded, and actually has convinced himself he’s a high-flying financial whiz in NY. Ha ha. He’s actually quite similar to our old pal Just Mal, but without any actual ability. Over on DefNet he pretends t be a patriotic SL and so far hasn’t suggested that genocide or mass rape be perpetrated on the Tamils. But no worries, I’ll copy his post over there so that both sites can have a laugh.
Hello ASSthiri old boy, how’s it hanging, it seems you just can’t control your verbal diarrhea now can you. The same low brow posts that got you booted out of Lankanewspapers, not once BUT twice, seems to be all you are good for. Still peddling the old ‘NY financial wiz banging hot Indian chicks’ story are we? How quaint.
Well I must say I am glad that your little terror state has patriots like you to stand for them, just makes our job of correcting the aberration created by the bloody Brits that much easier . I dare say I would like to see a contest of wit between you and that brilliant foreign minister up there, that would be a jolly good show indeed, we could even televise it. Perhaps with a catchy title for the show; something like ‘Sri Lankan Retards’ of course you would need to make sure your sleepy idiots at airbases don’t watch it and let their precious little jets blow up now eh?
Anyway just thought I would stop by for old times’ sake, given that you are making quite a name for yourself these days, why I even caught you telling off the United States Ambassador to Sri Lankan, Mr. Robert Blake on Lankaweb. I am sure he must be hiding in shame given that such towering intellect as yours crushed his arguments so thoroughly. You even followed that up with another rant about your government’s harmless little Tamil pet, Sangaree the one man party, he was so frightened the poor bugger jammed that stupid UN prize up his…. Oh well you know all about that now don’t you.
Anyway keep up the good work cleaning out the washrooms in the corporate towers of power in NY old boy. In the good old USA anything is possible, so heck even you might one day actually make it up to polishing the boots for some financial analysts, keep hope alive eh.
Mongrels like David Blacker should be deported to Ranil-loving Europe.He spreads rumors that LRRP is killing civilians and involve in abduction in his piss-pot book.he is shemale ranils and ltte agent.
Revy you coolie I dont take part in LEN pissing contest.I piss only on coolies
Ah a challenger for ‘Sri Lanka Retard’ appears!!!
well mixer while he is on the other side so to speak I wonder what kind of ‘shemale’ ‘ltte agent’ puts his life on the line at the battle front fighting AGAINST the LTTE, you know what I think ASSthiri could have a serious fight on his hands with your obvious mental agility, this should be a good show… now I just need some funding…umm does anyone want to buy a few soon to be worthless bonds? 8.25% interest eh…
Actually Mixer & Asithri are the same person. I just copied his first post here back to Defence Net where he pretends to be interested in destroying the LTTE and Ranil (and anyone who isn’t sucking off MR & Gota). Guess he realised he slipped up and is now using Mixer as a name so that he can pretend to be sane. Either that or it’s all a plot by the traitorous, LTTE=Raniltheponneya, combined with Sinhala-hating NGO peaceniks affiliated to the Norwegian UN. Right, Arsithri?
Another post on DefNet (http://defencenet.blogspot.com/) by Asithri/Mixer now that he’s been caught out. This time with threats as well. Ha ha. Ohh I’m trembling.
“Blacker, you off-spring from a frock wearing male-karapottha and a Colombo LTTE hooker: (LMSSAO!!!)
Howz it shaking leper? Ha Ha Ha…You are completely off your rocker I see…proves to me you are a silly, uneducated (primary school drop out due to bad grades I am sure!), RW=LTTE cocksucker!
For your information I’ll have you known that I did not write that piece of crap in that freaking website that you copied and posted the link here, saying that it is from me…I did not even know such a site existed until I saw your post. Wow, it amazes me the bloody sites that you go into…what the fcuk do you do all day (I know you get a pin-padi pension from the GOSL!)…surf these sites all day while some of us are in working in complex fields related to commerce/sciences in the west? Wow! No wonder why you are a bloody retartd and jealous of us…LMSSAO!!!
I think likely you yourself or another RW=LTTE mf did it to discredit me using my handle. LMSSAO!!! No sweat…I don’g give a flying fcuk to you RW=LTTE cess-pit maggots!
For once, think you rabid dog cum-drop: Anyone can take any handle and post any piece of shit on any website…want me to show you how I can do it by using “David Blacker”…??? I’ll do some real “acidic” writings that will not only make you feel like a bloody shit worm in the webcommunity, but if need be, something that will get you arrested in SL by SLA MI or the SL Anti-Terrorims Police…so areshole, tread carefully here for your own health and well being ok? Do not tempt yours truly OaO Asithri to take a course of such action as that would indeed be truly disastrous for the real “David Blacker” RW pansy lover in SL who has to go out and move about in SL!!!
Patriots, no, OaO Asithri, as many of you know by now, is not someone who is scared of or will deny ownership of what he writes/does as he writes/does it with a sense of patriotic pride and as such, why make a denial and give such credit to another – if it is really from him.
I am vehemently against any Sri Lankan (they can be Tamil, Burgher, Muslim, or even Sinhela) if he/she is out to break up our motherland, but I do not hold any enmity against any other Sri Lankan, especially because they are from minority groups. All patriotic SRI LANKANS are brothers/sisters to me.
Someone here earlier pointed out that there is another “OaO Asithri” roaming in some sites and pretending to be me…in some sites, that imposter even posts in favour of LTTE mfs I am told!!!
Aha, Blacker: Thanks for the entertainment old hag!!! Now go back to surfing the net for obscure sites all day!
LMSSAO!
OaO Asithri”
Kill the Tamils! Murder them and chop them up!
David Blacker,
as a longtime member in Defnet,Defwire, Asian tribune etc i have long suspected asithri to be an LttE plant tasked wid making Singhala and Srilanka look bad. the Following post in Lanka Libertarian blog confirm it.he’s an Ngo worker not in USa;))
“Elidarauwa said…
IMPORTANT NOTE TO THOSE WHO READ OaO Asithri aka Scorpion’s Comment
“OaO Asithri aka Scorpion” is an employee of a prominent NGO that S/Nut regularly attacks for being “Peacenik” and Pro LTTE. Several of them decided to write these comments with ridiculously extreme views that even JHU does not espouse. They want to paint S/nut as a racist.You can understand the malice they feel against S/Nut by their resorting to such tactics.
Don’t be mislead by such tactics. Everyone knows that S?Nut is very vocal against people who identify Tamils with LTTE and has called people like that racists again and again.”

It’s all over youtube!
Indi, the above comment (2007-12-01 22:40:16) isn’t by me. You can check the IP.
Nice try, Arsithri, but as I told you on DefNet, when your IQ level is a degree above ‘retard’, you can’t really impersonate me. However, since imitation is flattery, keeep at it, loser. Lol.
Great post. I was checking constantly this blog and I
am impressed! Extremely helpful information specially the last part :) I care for such info a lot.
I was seeking this particular information for a very long time.
Thank you and best of luck.
