Police held over S Lanka kidnaps

A senior police officer has said that serving and former police and security force personnel have been arrested over abductions in Sri Lanka.

i'm surprised that SL police is admitting to it..
"Most of the victims have been members of the minority Tamil community. "

ARR is cool, always like his tune but lately i find myself listening to more YSR stuff than ARR. Like the Pattiyal songs i love, "poga poga" and "yethetho".
i dont know what YSR is doing, maybe copying english tunes but these tunes are funky!
this is the latest tune... from chennai 600028

Hey Jude - Beatles

Hey, Jude, don't make it bad
Take a sad song and make it better
Remember to let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it betterHey, Jude, don't be afraid
You were made to go out and get her
The minute you let her under your skin
Then you begin to make it better.And any time you feel the pain, hey, Jude, refrain
Don't carry the world upon your shoulders
Well don't you know that its a fool who plays it cool
By making his world a little colderHey, Jude! Don't let her down
You have found her, now go and get her
Remember, to let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it better.So let it out and let it in, hey, Jude, begin
Hey, Jude, don't make it bad
You're waiting for someone to perform with
And don't you know that it's just you, hey, Jude,
You'll do, the movement you need is on your shoulder
Take a sad song and make it better
Remember to let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it better
hmm... its all gone now...too late...
guns guns guns...guns i do adore..
,
like chris rock said...make the bullets 5000 dollars each...
then there wont be no more innocent by standers...
gun crime on the increase in london, where did all these guns come from?
where is the gun control, drugs ok, they can be hidden in oranges, but u cant hide a gun in an orange..
most of it prolly makes it through the ferry ports
i went to amsterdam and there was no checking, of person or vehicle, how crap is that..
border control? we could've picked up some weed and some guns and drove straight into britain and no one would question us..
sell it, make money! so easy...
alas, its not just the guns, gangsters? wanna gangstas, we got them in tamil too, 10 tamils killed by gang warfare..
how long can you be a gangster? until you are 30? what happens after that?
do these people listen to tupac or just pretend to do the whole thug life thing..
thats the way it IS!
live by the gun, die by the gun, BITCH!
and then again, where the hell are the parents? where are the fathers? single moms raising these kids?
whats the cause? just didnt get enough hugs? went to school where idiots screwed up the lessons?
inner city has to change, maybe its time to bring back the cane!
ah its the music,
so its the rap music, the hip-hop culture,
hmm..possibly, they all think they are hard!
but then again these kids are stupid,
Trash culture, the problem is there is no culture, there is no white culture, there is no black culture
these kids are just on some rap/grime culture
i'm better than you coz i smoke weed.
noh i am better coz i done coke..
nah i am better coz i been to jail... this is what chris rock called the niggarant attitude...
i think its the media, media is what makes these kids go out and grab whatever to be known in the hood (famous)
kids dont want to put time into learning something and being good at it, they want instant fame
sad indeed that the media is ruining kids, its not letting them make their own mind, its showing them as failures,
media shows things like it can be achieved over night, where as things take ages to achieve,
summary...everything goes in circles
like rain! evaporates off the sea, makes clouds, rains on mountain, river goes to sea!!
thats how life is!
this poisonning of the kids by the media will lead to something, possibly to programs like the "running man" with arnold schwarzenegger
haha.. shit..its all fucked up!

that i ruffed up way back
Come back afta all these years

Skiing, Pamporovo continued...
,
20th we left UK and landed in bulgaria
21st is the first day of skiing!
we got to the hotel at 12 or something, the responsible one thought bulgaria is 3 hours ahead of UK.
we had to get up 7-8.30 for breakfast, but our rep meeting to get out ski hire, ski lesson and ski lift tickets at 8.30!
as soon as we got to the hotel, we put our bags in the room and took a walk around the resort just to check it out and we ended up going to sleep at 2AM...
and throughout the holiday K kept saying its 10pm UK time, i dont give a fuck what the time is in UK when i am bulgaria...damn it!
so we decided to get up at 6AM, (bulgaria is 2 hours ahead of UK, so we go up 1 hour early due to responsible persons mistake)
put on all da skiing gear.. that takes some time!
we get down to breakfast..thinkin it was 7..30 , no one was there, it was empty, we didnt get clued up...
breakfast was buffet style, one side with fruits, cheese, ham slices, other side with sausages, eggs, all oily stuff,
then the usual bread, cereal, orange juice, good stuff! nice set of options! we started eating oily food, and lots of it, then near the end of the holiday everyone went healthy and were eating fruits for breakfast. only thing i can complain about bulgaria is the lack of good tea! the only tea they had was some shoddy "ceylon tea"!
then water boiler was warm so tea never brewed right, but i cant start the morning without a tea!! i'm a tamilan in bulgaria...!
so there we are, first to arrive for the food, doh! then we slowly make out way to perelik hotel where we meet our rep to get our ski tickets
rather a simple thing, get some tickets, swap em at the ski depot for various things you need. den we got the bus to the ski depot, the depot ispacked!
lot of ice than snow, a long queue to get ur ski equipment. this happens every week. a rotational thing, this week it was out turn, these ski equipment will be mine for a week.
so finally put those ski boots on, lean forward coz the boot is made like dat. den we got our skis and sticks...woohoo! lets go!
we were signed up for the beginner class and we were told to stand in front of the ski depot til we had enough in the group then an instructor will take us for the lessons,
we got a mix bunch of people, a few old, a few young,,mostly in the middle. then we got our instructor...Dani, late 30s , perm hair, short, "follow me please" with a heavy bulgarian accent! here we go!
loads of people had arrived earlier than us and were already in their lessons, all learning to put the skis on, fallin down, getting up, skiing, walking, snow plough..etc..etc..
if you check out the youtube videos on previous post you'll see how our first day went...
so after a day of fallin down and pondering what you were doing there, it was time to go home and get some rest, especially after the lack the sleep the night before.
dinner time... 7-8.30pm, of course we were the first coz of the confusion with the time,
dinner was various meats, with no sauce, loads of bulgarian salads which i didnt touch at all, potato wedges and such.
they did do rice, best was the spinach rice which was nice! dinner wasnt as good as the choices at breakfast. oh yeah you could have soup too!
dessert was Moroccan cake, which was superb... i think its Moroccan cake, i only had it once before in UK and that was from a Moroccan shop!
afte dinner we slep then at some random time someone said lets go out and i came out of my slumber... lets go!
it turns out it was the pub crawl that night, we missed a meeting at 5.30pm coz we were sleeping after getting back from skiing..
so we joined up and had the best night of the whole holiday! it wasnt easy getting up the next day... (22nd)
Putin puts out

how can the government let this go by...
,
A Saudi-funded Islamic school says it is removing from text books controversial passages which allegedly brand other faiths as "worthless".
An ex-teacher claims pupils were taught from books which describe Jews as "repugnant" and Christians as "pigs".
how can such things be taught to kids?
i cant believe such a thing can happen in london, in this day and age!
is it all oil politics thats keepin the uk governments mouth closed?
in the corner
,
every time reid,uk home office minister, gets pushed in the corner he busts out with a police raid
even if it all goes wrong the police dont have to tell you what they raided coz they dont have to under terror laws,
still awaiting to see some evidence of those raids which stopped people from carrying liquid stuff in their hand luggage on planes
then there is the shoe checking at airports, random people are checked = muslim looking
ah the crazy world of policing with terror laws.

Skiing Holiday in Pamporovo, Bulgaria.
,
Skiing Holiday in Pamporovo, Bulgaria.
20th to 27th January 2007
the holiday was booked through www.fasttrackski.co.uk, the operator was www.Crystalski.co.uk which is in partnership with www.thomsonski.co.uk
booked coach from London Victoria to Stansted via www.terravision.it , cheaper than national express.
booked the coach for 11am on saturday (20th jan) and told everyone to meet up at victoria. i thought the coach station at victoria is just outside the railway station, how wrong i was.
as usual, being tamil, they thought they can arrive at victoria at 11 and catch the coach, doh!
after the final person arrived at victoria it was a mad dash to find the coach station, of course different coaches departed from different places and we ended up where national express coaches depart, then after asking several strangers and going the wrong way we managed to find the place, then we asked a guy who seemed to be an official and he said the coach had left, then there was a guy loading up a coach with luggage and we asked him and he said that this was tha coach and complained about us arriving at 11 to catch a 11am departure coach, doh! of course if the coach had terravision written on it we wouldnt have been so confused. the coach turned out to be almost empty and we go on our way to stansted.
we arrived at stansted at 12.15pm, thought we needed to arrive early in order to book seats next to each other, had about 2 hours to kill before checking in so went to a pub and watched the liverpool-chelski game! what a win! as long as we can do the same to man u and arsenal its all good. then about 1.30 or something we decided to go to check in and queue up thinking that we would be the first in the queue, oh bugger! almost last in the queue, lotta waiting on the queue about 45 mins or so, then finally got checked in and into the duty free.
first security check went fine, no beeping no excessive checking, people infront were told they cannot take their babie's baby oil , baby lotion, etc..etc..
then onto the next where they check your shoes, some people get let thru, some random people are told to take their shoes off and put thru a scanner, i had to!
then after putting the shoes on, another stop, just police checking passports, my friend got checked not me, then we were finally into the duty free,
dixons/currys didnt have wii games, HMV had Wii games and advertised it like there was a lotta saving to be had, but it was more expensive than in outside shops
doh!
after everyone did their duty free shopping we boarded the plane at 16.45pm and didnt look forward to the 3 hour flight...played black jack (not 21) for 3 hours interrupted by food,
then one of the trolley dollies saw that my friend had his mobile on (flight mode or not), she told him to turn it off and then proceeded to tell the captain about the incident, which we didnt realise till we heard the captains announcement. "i have been informed that a few passengers have their mobile phones switched on.;..............." doh!!!
then the landing, which was unexpected as i was in the middle of explaining something, took me a few seconds to realise that we landed..landed about 19.;45pm which in local time was 21.45pm
sofia aiport is pretty small, smaller than kattunayake, the plane stopped about half a football pitch length from the doors to the airport, but we still had to get on a coach, and be driven a scenic route around 2 other planes before they dropped us off, then started the chaos of queues for toilets and luggage.
bulgarian passport checker didnt give any trouble, managed to get the luggage and straight outside to meet our crystal ski rep, told to catch the number 2 bus, we went outside and we saw "1" "3" and "22" , is that 2 or 22, turned out to be 2, just that sheets of paper had moved, if there were three pieces of paper it wouldve been 222!
i didnt like the coach at all, pretty much like the coaches you would get in sri-lanka, covered in mud, old old coach! and we spent 4 hours on this going from Sofia to Pamporovo.
there were two bulgarians in the coach, one driver and the other guide, the guide goes "the drivers name is krazy" ...gr8! then the guide spent about 30 mins telling us about bulgaria, he said about 5 mins worth of information. then he finally got the hint that people wanted him to shut up and he did. then we it was a long long drive playing black jack.

we arrived at stansted at 12.15pm, thought we needed to arrive early in order to book seats next to each other, had about 2 hours to kill before checking in so went to a pub and watched the liverpool-chelski game! what a win! as long as we can do the same to man u and arsenal its all good. then about 1.30 or something we decided to go to check in and queue up thinking that we would be the first in the queue, oh bugger! almost last in the queue, lotta waiting on the queue about 45 mins or so, then finally got checked in and into the duty free.
first security check went fine, no beeping no excessive checking, people infront were told they cannot take their babie's baby oil , baby lotion, etc..etc..
then onto the next where they check your shoes, some people get let thru, some random people are told to take their shoes off and put thru a scanner, i had to!
then after putting the shoes on, another stop, just police checking passports, my friend got checked not me, then we were finally into the duty free,
dixons/currys didnt have wii games, HMV had Wii games and advertised it like there was a lotta saving to be had, but it was more expensive than in outside shops
doh!
after everyone did their duty free shopping we boarded the plane at 16.45pm and didnt look forward to the 3 hour flight...played black jack (not 21) for 3 hours interrupted by food,
then one of the trolley dollies saw that my friend had his mobile on (flight mode or not), she told him to turn it off and then proceeded to tell the captain about the incident, which we didnt realise till we heard the captains announcement. "i have been informed that a few passengers have their mobile phones switched on.;..............." doh!!!
then the landing, which was unexpected as i was in the middle of explaining something, took me a few seconds to realise that we landed..landed about 19.;45pm which in local time was 21.45pm
sofia aiport is pretty small, smaller than kattunayake, the plane stopped about half a football pitch length from the doors to the airport, but we still had to get on a coach, and be driven a scenic route around 2 other planes before they dropped us off, then started the chaos of queues for toilets and luggage.
bulgarian passport checker didnt give any trouble, managed to get the luggage and straight outside to meet our crystal ski rep, told to catch the number 2 bus, we went outside and we saw "1" "3" and "22" , is that 2 or 22, turned out to be 2, just that sheets of paper had moved, if there were three pieces of paper it wouldve been 222!
i didnt like the coach at all, pretty much like the coaches you would get in sri-lanka, covered in mud, old old coach! and we spent 4 hours on this going from Sofia to Pamporovo.
there were two bulgarians in the coach, one driver and the other guide, the guide goes "the drivers name is krazy" ...gr8! then the guide spent about 30 mins telling us about bulgaria, he said about 5 mins worth of information. then he finally got the hint that people wanted him to shut up and he did. then we it was a long long drive playing black jack.
...and back...
,
well, 7 days out of civilisation, nothing had changed.
the world is saturated with fuck-ups so there was no new fuck-ups!
dont feel like writing about bulgaria yet, will write some kinda summary as soon as i get the pics..
here are some pictures of the view fom the balcony...

Pongal Valthukal..
,
as usual for every hindu festival comes the confusion on which dates the festival should take place.
do we do it according to sri-lankan time or do we stick out and do it at london time?
using this little problem the temples in london take full advantage, two main temples in south london, wimbledon pillayar koil and tooting amman temple always celebrate festivals on a differnt day. a business man would tell you this will maximize your income, imagine having two valentines day, two christmas, ...hmmm!!
but anyways..which ever day u do it, and which ever reason you do it (some people still thing its tamil new year when its a harvest festival), nalla Pongungo!
solving problems...
,
well...
there goes xmas... new year and birthday.. all rolled into one week...(almost).
life only goes on, nothing changes much!

day in my life : a movie
,
so i moved into a new place, dirty and stingy, £300 a month
shower doesn't work, u gotta hold his hole with one hand while washing ur self with the other..
off the hole to apply shampoo, back on to wash, piss poor pressure, not enough water coming out
better of wiping myself with a damp cloth...
the landlord, i told myself never to have an indian/asian landlord, i found an Bangladeshi one, i'm gonna get screwed. i knew it before i stepped into the house. told me the shower works,bullshit, told me there was gonna be a microwave, bullshit, the damn house didn't even have a kettle,
then in the room all the power points have meters on them, i have to put coins to get power, to charge my mobile, or psp
original it was £80 a week including bills, then as i was in the room it changed to £80 including some bills,
i was in a rush for a place because i had move out of my nice place on the 1st of 2007.
so i signed the contract on 30th, payed deposit, he said he will keep the contract til he gets my first rent..
usually landlords are in a rush to get the money, he wasn't

if UK was a Family
,
If the Country was a family...
the Government would be the Father, the liar, the cheater, pretending to be better than other fathers,
the Media would be the Mother, always nagging the husband, always bitching about something, always buying into the latest fashion
The Transport system would be the grand father, old, decrepid and smells of urine (eg. National Rail, Underground)
The Armed forces will be the adopted son, the one that found out he was adopted and wants to get rid of his anger, and wants to please his adopted father
the Police force would be the family dog, do anything for the man of the house, fetch sticks, catch balls, bend over.. i mean roll over
the NHS would be the spoilt daughter who gets a large allowance, she is ugly and plastic surgery isnt helping
the Banks would be mistress of the nation, the one everyone wants sleep with, but she is a gold digger
i think i got everyone in the family... not sure about the grand mother...
please feel free to add to the family, if its good i'll add to my blog..with credit ;-)
life is a chance
,
is everything a chance, a probability? yes
so in this world everything that occurs has some probability of occuring,
a birth of a child is a chance, many things can go right, many things can go wrong
there is a chance the child will live to 90 and there is a chance the child will only make it to 9 months
there is a chance for organ failure related death and there is a chance for accident with a bus
of course i believe that astrology and numerology is a pile of BS, but lets consider this...
in tamil hindu society every person have an astrology chart made, the children are named according to a formula
all this is done in order to provide the children with the right name, is this done to give the child a good chance in life?
if i had a name starting with A, i will be the first in line at school, i would be picked first for anything, and so could having that name kill me?
is it possible that the astrology/numerology name picked out gives a good chance of living long
the date and time you are born cannot be changed, can a name give the best for the date and time or birth?
eg.
Life Begins ---------------------------------------------------------------- Life End. (a normal 90 years odd life)
Life Beings ----------------------------------------------| end of life due to accident, but can the way i live because of my name protect me from this accident? can i be that passenger that didnt get on the plane? time can determine living and dying.
in car accident death, it is possible if the driver had left 2 seconds, even 1 second late, his whole journey would have changed and he would have survived death,
something to think about... as leading different paths in life can change the person, his life, his outlook, etc..etc..
Ruin it for the rest...
,
there is always a bunch of idiots who ruin it for the rest...
i was watching a program on channel 4 "the problem with atheists" or something along that line..
and it was talking about the fact that there are radical atheists just like in other organised religion.
I am an atheist because i know there is no god.
I am an atheist but i respect other religions.
I am an atheist but i respect other peoples beliefs.
I am an atheist who thinks other people don't realise the truth.
I am an atheist who knows other people are not stupid.
I am an atheist but I was brought up as a Hindu.
I am an atheist but I will have a Hindu ceremony for my wedding.
I am an atheist who believes that religion is important in learning.
I am an atheist who will bring my children up with religion.
I am an atheist who believes that religion teaches moral, no the simpsons.
I am an atheist who thinks the growth of chav (people lacking respect for anything) culture is due to lack of religion.
i could go on, but i am not a radical, i can hear quotes from people of other religion. "most Muslims/Christians/Buddhists are no extremists"
after watching this program atheists need to say this too, "most atheists are not extremists"
"these people are a disgrace to atheism" -- damn! another line repeated by many of the religions
I've jumped from one organised religion to another one.. i am now not an atheist. i don't want to be categorized as one
I am just a person who thinks god does not exist. I don't want to be classified as an atheist anymore. i don't want to be a part of a religious or a non-religious belief system.

$1.3 Billion for War
,
Sri-lankan government is to put $1.3 Billion into its defence forces.
god knows how much will be pocketed by MPs, especially by the president and defence minister who are brothers.
The president gets in power and soon he puts his brother in charge of defence of the country,
does he have qualifications? no need for them in sri-lanka
then the presidents brother survives a supposed LTTE suicide attack on him,
of course any bomb going off in colombo is by LTTE,
- the sri-lankan army is using EPRLF, EPDP and Karuna to kill tamils,
- they are also being used to stirr up hate for LTTE in the border areas,
two muslim youths were shot in vavuniya, of course blamed on LTTE, altho its is an army controlled area, most likley shot by karuna forces with the aid of army to stirr up the locals
- the sri-lankan politicians are using their power through the sri-lankan army to use these paramilitary forces to kill their political opponents and blame it all on the LTTE
where is sri-lanka going to find this £1.3 billion?
- tax?
- tsunami aid money?
- IMF?
- Loans?
where...
- the people and the politicians
sri-lankan politicians with their bhuddist monks push for a Lone country for bhuddists, Sri-lanka a country for just bhuddists,
but can this dream be achieved by killing tamils?
Sinhala leaders’ duplicity of war and peace has left Tamils with no choice but political independence
,
Sinhala leaders' duplicity of war and peace has left Tamils with no choice but political independence
LTTE leader in his annual Heroes' Day statement on 27 November 2006
The leader of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), Vellupillai Pirapaharan, in
his annual Heroes' Day statement, expressed extreme frustration at the unchanging
attitude of successive Sinhala regimes towards resolving the burning Tamil national
question and, in particular, at the deceitful handling of the current peace efforts by three
successive Sinhala regimes.
"Both our liberation movement and our people never preferred war to a peaceful
resolution. We have always preferred a peaceful approach to win the political rights of
our people. We have never hesitated to follow the peaceful path to win our political
rights. That is why we held peace talks, beginning in Thimpu right through to Geneva, on
several occasions, at various times, and in many countries," he said.
The LTTE leader went on to say that President Mahinda Rajapakse has rejected his final
call in his Heroes' Day statement last year to find a resolution to the Tamil National
question with urgency. He said that President Rajapakse had instead intensified the war
on the one hand and whilst on the other hand talking about finding a peaceful resolution.
The LTTE leader said that this dual war and peace approach is fundamentally flawed. "It
is not possible to find a resolution by marginalizing and destroying the freedom
movement with which talks must be held to find the resolution. This is political absurdity
on the part of the Sinhala leaders." Due to this strategy of the Rajapakse regime, the CFA
has become defunct, he said.
The LTTE leader said that the present regime, which is denying food and medicine to the
people to the extent of starving them, cannot be expected to show compassion and give
the Tamil people their political rights. He said that the Sinhala nation, eternally trapped in
the mythical ideology of the Mahavamsa, has failed to think afresh and has left the
Tamils with only one option, political independence and statehood for the people of
Tamil Eelam.
The full text of the official translation of his speech follows:
2
"We are at a cross roads in our freedom struggle. Our journey has been long and arduous,
and crowded with difficult phases. We are facing challenges and unexpected turns that no
other freedom movement had to face. Unprecedented in history, we are dealing with war
and peace talks at the same time.
Six years have passed since we dedicated ourselves to find a solution to the ethnic
conflict through peace talks. In this long time span, has a solution been found to the
burning Tamil national question? Was there any visible change in the mindset of the
Sinhala leadership that continues to inflict unrelenting cruelty on the Tamil people? Were
any of the justifiable requests of the Tamils been fulfilled? Were our people able to find
relief from the daily harassment and misery at the hands of the occupying military? Were
the daily basic problems of our people resolved? None of these has happened. Instead,
death and destruction were heaped on the Tamils who hoped that they would receive
justice.
While the countries that preached peace maintain silence without conscience, a great
tragedy is unfolding in the Tamil homeland. The Sinhala government has imprisoned the
Tamils in their own land after closing its main supply routes. Having removed their
freedom by restricting their movement and constrained their lives, it is inflicting great
suffering on them. It has split the Tamil homeland, set up military camps, bound it with
barbed wire, and has converted it into a site of collective torture.
The Sinhala government has unleashed a two pronged war, military and economic, on our
people. Our people are subjected to unprecedented assaults. Arrests, imprisonment, and
torture, rape and sexual harassment, murders, disappearance, shelling, aerial bombing,
and military offensives are continuing unchecked. At the same time our people are
subjected to an inhuman economic embargo on essential items including food and
medicine.
Even after the ceasefire, negotiations and the five years of patiently keeping peace, the
dividends of peace have not reached our people. Instead our people are faced with
unbearable burdens in their daily lives. Thousands of our people have been forced out of
their homes and are languishing with disease and hunger in refugee camps. No one
should expect that this Sinhala government which is denying food and medicine to our
people to the extent of starving them would show compassion and give them their
political rights.
The monumental growth in knowledge and the resulting global outlook is taking
humanity into a new era. Ideas, views and philosophies are changing in tandem with this
growth in knowledge and this is resulting in changes in society. Yet, within the Sinhala
3
nation, there is little change in its ideas and philosophies. The Sinhala nation is refusing
to broaden its thinking and take a new approach. The Sinhala nation remains mislead by
the mythical ideology of the Mahavamsa and remains trapped in the chauvinistic
sentiments thus created. Unable to free itself from this mindset, it has adopted Sinhala
Buddhist chauvinistic notions as its dominant national philosophy. This notion is spread
in its schools, universities and even its media. The domination of this Sinhala Buddhist
chauvinism is preventing its students, intellectuals, and writers from stepping out of and
thinking free from its domination. This, unfortunately, is preventing the Sinhala nation
from undertaking a genuine attempt at resolving the Tamil national question in a civilized
manner.
Both our liberation movement and our people never preferred war to a peaceful
resolution. We have always preferred a peaceful approach to win the political rights of
our people. We have never hesitated to follow the peaceful path to win our political
rights. That is why we have tried to hold peace talks beginning in Thimpu right through
to Geneva on several occasions, at various times, and in many countries. The current
peace efforts, with Norwegian facilitation and with the blessings of the international
community, taking place in the capitals of various countries are unique.
This peace journey began on 31
st October 2000, when the then Norwegian special envoyEric Solheim visited Vanni and met us. This peace journey is taking place in a unique
period, under unique historical conditions, in a unique format and on a unique path. It is
moving on two fronts, peace talks, on one hand, and a war of occupation by the Sinhala
government, on the other.
During the six years when we kept peace, we were sincere in our efforts. Indeed, we
initiated the peace efforts. We created a strong foundation for peace efforts by
unilaterally declaring a ceasefire. We refrained from putting conditions or time limits for
peace talks. We did not undertake these efforts from a position of weakness. We had
recaptured the Vanni mainland and the Iyakkachchi-Elephant Pass military complex. We
had beaten back the 'Operation Fire' of the Sinhala military. We carried out great
military feats in the history of our struggle. It was from this position of strength that we
undertook this peace effort.
The situation was just the opposite in the south. The south had faced defeat after defeat
and was losing its will to face war. Its military had lost its backbone. The economy was
very shaky. It was only under such conditions that the Sinhala nation agreed for peace
talks. In this five years since the peace efforts began, three governments have come to
power, that of Wickremasinghe, Bandaranayake and Rajapakse. Each time the
4
government changed, the dove of peace moved from one cage to another but it was never
able to fly freely. Stabbed many times, the dove is now struggling for its life.
We held talks with the Wickremasinghe government for six months after signing the
Cease Fire Agreement (CFA) with him. Like all previous Sinhala regimes, the
Wickremasinghe regime dragged time without implementing the clauses in the CFA and
the agreements reached at the talks. Its military failed to move out of people's homes,
schools and hospitals and instead declared these vast areas of land as military security
zones and permanently prevented the people from returning to their land. The subcommittee
for De-escalation and Normalization became dysfunctional. The subcommittee
created to solve immediate humanitarian needs of the people also become
defunct due to planned sabotage by the government.
The Wickremasinghe government that refused to solve the humanitarian problems facing
our people, secretly worked to marginalize our movement on the world stage. Even
before setting up a working administrative structure in the Tamil homeland, it conducted
donor conferences to obtain aid for the south. By failing to facilitate our participation in
the donor conference held in Washington, it marginalized and humiliated our movement.
As a result we were forced to stay away from the Tokyo conference. The
Wickremasinghe regime did not stop with this. It plotted to trap our freedom movement
in an 'international safety net' and destroy us.
When we put forward the proposal for an Interim Self Governing Authority (ISGA),
startling changes occurred in the southern politics. The Kumaratunge government took
over the reins of power. While refusing to hold talks on the basis of our proposal, her
government, using the paramilitary phenomenon, intensified the shadow war against us.
The paramilitary factor turned the Tamil homeland into a violent blood stained theatre.
Intellectuals, political leaders, journalists, LTTE members, supporters and civilians were
all murdered. We were forced to halt the political work, carried out according to the CFA
clauses by our members in Sri Lankan military occupied areas of the Tamil homeland. As
a result, our people were left alone in the cruel grip of the occupying military. Finally the
Kumaratunge regime failed to implement even the Joint Mechanism (PTOMS) agreement
signed by her regime for tsunami rehabilitation. The Supreme Court, unable to step
outside the Sinhala chauvinistic notions, rejected this purely humanitarian focused
agreement citing the unitary constitution.
It was at this time that the Sinhala nation elected Rajapakse as its new President. Like the
Sinhala leaders of the past, he too is putting his hopes in a military solution. He rejected
our final call in our last year's Heroes' Day statement, to find a resolution to the Tamil
National question with urgency. Instead, he intensified the war, on the one hand, with the
5
view to destroy our movement and, on the other hand, he is talking about finding a
peaceful resolution. This dual war and peace approach is fundamentally flawed. It is not
possible to find a resolution by marginalizing and destroying the freedom movement with
which talks must be held to find the resolution. This is political absurdity on the part of
the Sinhala leaders.
The Rajapakse regime hopes to decide the fate of the Tamil nation using its military
power. It wants to occupy the Tamil land and then force an unacceptable solution on the
Tamils. Due to this strategy of the Rajapakse regime, the CFA has become defunct. The
Rajapakse regime, by openly advocating attacks on our positions, has effectively buried
the CFA. The Rajapakse regime's attacks have expanded from land to sea and air. It has
given a free hand to the paramilitary groups to kill at will. It has occupied Mavilaru and
Sampur blatantly breaking the terms of the CFA. The Sinhala military misjudged our
strategic withdrawal from Mavilaru and Sampur. It used heavy firepower and launched
large scale offensives to bring Tamil lands under its control. Tamil land was soaked in
blood. It is at this time we decided to give a shock to the Sinhala regime. Our forces
conducted a massive counter-offensive on the Sinhala forces that attempted to move from
Kilali and Muhamalai. The military sustained heavy losses and was forced to abandon its
offensive temporarily. This, however, did not persuade the Sinhala regime to give up its
military plans. It continues on its military path.
The Rajapakse regime, while conducting genocide of the Tamils, is portraying our
movement which is waging a struggle to save the Tamils from this genocide as a terrorist
organization. It has launched a malicious propaganda campaign to defame our movement.
Ignoring the unanimous opposition of our people and the objection of the Sri Lankan
Monitoring Mission (SLMM), the European Union and Canada have yielded to
diplomatic pressure from the Sri Lankan government and listed our movement as a
terrorist organization. They isolated us as undesirables.
This hasty decision, arrived at without considering the prevailing context, has created
serious repercussions. It has gravely disturbed the parity of status and balance of power
we held with the Sinhala regime. It encouraged the hard line stance of the Sinhala regime.
It weakened the SLMM and facilitated the war plans of the Sinhala regime. Some
countries that proclaim to be helping the peace efforts, have not only failed to condemn
the genocidal attacks on our people but are also giving military and financial aid to the
Sinhala regime to support its war plans. These are external factors that are encouraging
the Rajapakse regime to carry on with its brutal military offensives in the Tamil land with
absolute impunity.
6
The Rajapakse regime is not giving due importance to the peace talks because it has
confidence in its military approach. The two Geneva talks were unproductive because of
its lack of interest in the peace front. At the first Geneva talks, we placed evidence of
military-paramilitary cooperation in the form of documents, statistics and incident
reports. Unable to reject the solid evidence, the Sri Lankan government agreed to
implement the CFA clause by removing the paramilitary groups from the Tamil
homeland. After this first Geneva talks, there was only one change. State and paramilitary
terror in the Tamil homeland escalated.
The second Geneva talks were also a failure. At these talks, we gave priority to the
humanitarian issues facing our people and requested that the A9 road be opened and the
SLMM be given freedom to function. The Sri Lankan government, putting military
advantage ahead of humanitarian concerns, rejected both requests.
The Sinhala government that failed to show mercy to the people affected by a natural
disaster is never going to budge on a humanitarian crisis that it planned and created. How
could the peace talks move forward when the peace delegation is made up of people who
proclaim that they will wage war and hold peace talks at the same time? How can trust be
built? How can peace be arrived at like this?
To improve his posturing as a peace dove, President Rajapakse staged a deceptive 'All
Party Conference'. The Sinhala leaders have practiced this infamous political tradition of
initiating commissions of inquiry, parliamentary select committees, all party conferences,
or round tables to procrastinate whenever it is unable to face up to a situation and wants
to drag time until attention is diverted. This is exactly what he is doing now. Rejecting
our call to speedily find a resolution to the Tamil national question, he is hiding behind
the All Party Conference. For the last ten months, the all party committee is looking for
the Tamil question, like searching for a black cat in a dark room.
Once the All Party Conference lost its deceptive power, President Rajapakse has taken up
his next card, the MoU between the two major parties. These two major parties that
effectively have hegemonic control over the south are both essentially chauvinistic
parties. Both these parties are born of Sinhala Buddhist chauvinism and compete with
each other to carry out genocide of the Tamils. This MoU is a temporary opportunistic
move by Rajapakse regime to avoid the multiple problems of international pressure to
find a peaceful solution, the declining economic situation, and the opposition of his
political partner, Janatha Vimukthi Perumuna (JVP). There is no sincere motive in this
MoU agreement. These two parties will never put forward a just solution to the Tamil
issue. Despite this, the Rajapakse regime continues to show interest in keeping the all
party conference alive simply to deceive the world.
7
My beloved people,
A long time has elapsed since we embarked on this journey for peace with Norway's
facilitation. We have tried our best to take forward this peace effort. We have practiced
patience. We gave innumerable opportunities for finding peaceful resolution. We
postponed our plan to advance our freedom struggle twice to give even more chances to
the peace efforts, once when the tsunami disaster struck and again when President
Rajapakse was elected.
It is now crystal clear that the Sinhala leaders will never put forward a just resolution to
the Tamil national question. Therefore, we are not prepared to place our trust in the
impossible and walk along the same old futile path.
The uncompromising stance of Sinhala chauvinism has left us with no other option but an
independent state for the people of Tamil Eelam. We therefore ask the international
community and the countries of the world that respect justice to recognize our freedom
struggle. At this historic time when the Tamils are recommencing their journey on the
path of freedom, we seek the unwavering support and assistance of the world Tamil
community. We express our gratitude to the Tamil Nadu people and leaders for voicing
their support and ask them to continue their efforts to help us in our freedom struggle. We
express our gratitude to the Tamil Diaspora, our displaced brethren living all around the
world, for their contribution to our struggle and ask them to maintain their unwavering
participation and support."

the educated, intellectuals and the politicians always seem to be laughing at the musicians, actors and rock stars who are trying to create a peaceful world, and i have always laughed along with them,
but i shouldnt...
it is the educated and the intellectuals who sit around talking ...all talk no action... i should be laughing at them...
then it is the politicians who fuck up, they are always in it to make the money, sell the weapons, get it cheaper from the poor countries,
i should be laughing at these politicians and intellectuals, not laughing with them

i saw this sketch on rory bremner show, bremner, bird and fortune
they were saying how useful polish people were in UK
but wha they fail to show was the circularity, the bigger picture
according tot he show some 400,000 polish people in UK, 70% between 20-34 of age
and only 678 on welfare
but what they fail to understand what happens when they get older, or start having kids,
etc..etc.
something which even the government never thought about when they accepted emigrants from asia (india, pakistan), west indies etc..

Government of Sri-lanka keeps killing Tamils
the problem is that this isnt the first time and wont be the last time,
for 23 years, as far as the war has been going on in sri-lanka, the government has been killing tamils without any care
but no other country gives a damn,
Trade agreements, imports, exports, weapon purchase keeps the other countries quiet while the tamils get wiped off from sri-lanka.

Immigrant Poem
I cross ocean,
poor and broke,
Take bus,
see employment folk.
Nice man treat me good in there,
Say I need to see welfare.
Welfare say,
"You come no more,
We send cash right to your door."
Welfare checks,
they make you wealthy,
Medicaid it keep you healthy!
By and by,
I got plenty money,
Thanks to you,
New Zealand dummy.
Write to friends in motherland,
Tell them 'come fast as you can.'
They come in turbans and Ford trucks,
I buy big house with welfare bucks
They come here, we live together,
More welfare checks, it gets better!
Fourteen families,
they moving in,
But neighbour's patience wearing thin.
Finally, white guy moves away,
Now I buy his house,
and then I say,
"Find more aliens
for house to rent."
And in the yard I put a tent.
Send for family they just trash,
But they too, draw the welfare cash!
Everything is very good,
And soon we own the neighbourhood.
We have hobby -- it's called breeding,
Welfare pay for baby feeding.
Kids need dentist?
Wife need pills?
We get free!
We got no bills!
New Zealand crazy!
He pay all year,
To keep welfare running here.
We think New Zealand
darn good place!
Too darn good for the white man race.
If they no like us,
they can scram,
Got lots of room in Pakistan.
i dont like these welfare soakers either, especially those that buy houses and things on welfare money
but then social security was paying abu hamza money for everything
same with bakri, the crazy cleric...
GoUS is such losers!

A senior Anglican bishop has accused many Muslims of being guilty of double standards in their view of the world.
Bishop attacks 'Muslim hypocrisy'
 Bishop Nazir-Ali's views differ from the Archbishop of Canterbury |
The Bishop of Rochester, Michael Nazir-Ali, told the Sunday Times some had a "dual psychology" in which they sought "victimhood and domination".
The bishop, whose father converted from Islam, also said there were situations in which society could require Muslim women not to wear full-face veils.
Society required recognition and identification in teaching, he said.
Mr Nazir-Ali argued it would never be possible to satisfy all of the demands made by Muslims because "their complaint often boils down to the position that it is always right to intervene when Muslims are victims... and always wrong when Muslims are the oppressors or terrorists".
He compared Bosnia and Kosovo, where he said Muslims were oppressed, with the powerful position of the Taleban in Afghanistan, who he said had been the oppressors.
He added: "Given the world view that has given rise to such grievances, there can never be sufficient appeasement and new demands will continue to be made."
Veil debate
The bishop's comments on the use of full-face veils by Muslim women add to the debate sparked by Commons Leader Jack Straw, the former foreign secretary, last month.
He disclosed that he asks Muslim women to remove the veil when they attend his Blackburn constituency surgeries.
Mr Straw also suggested that Muslim women who wear veils over their faces can make community relations harder.
In the Sunday Times, Mr Nazir-Ali referred to a "huge increase" in the wearing of Muslim dress in Egypt, Pakistan and Malaysia.
He said: "I can see nothing in Islam that prescribes the wearing of the full-face veil.
"In the supermarket those at the cash till need to be recognised. Teaching is another profession in which society requires recognition and identification."
Dr Rowan Williams, the Archbishop of Canterbury, entered the veil debate last month by saying people should be free to wear visible religious symbols.
He said aiming for a society where no symbols such as veils, crosses, sidelocks or turbans would be seen was "politically dangerous".
Racism in the barracks
,
racism exists in all armies,
but there are many black soldiers in US army
but in every picture of British soldiers from Afghanistan or Iraq, i never see a black face,
is that due to not many black/brown people applying into the army?
or that racism in army puts black/brown off applying?
minorities arnt well represented in the UK police force either, that i can attest that it is due to full on racism,
i'm not sure whether that is the case in USA or whether hollywood paints a beautiful picture of always pairing a white cop with a minority cop
as for me i am never gonna join the army, although becoming a sniper would be cool
Percentage Change in UK armed forces strength compared with 1990
,
well, is this due to changes in funding for the army or just people dont want to join the army?
i think we can all say its the former,
of course had blair not lied, then followed bush like a puppy dog into war this issue would never be raised,
prolly a case of MoD spending more money on equipment than on soldeirs that will man them
Bush more dangerous for world peace
,
