Pawnseka Needs To Be Sent To An Asylum
By Ajith Randeniya
Further commenting on the ignominious end of the Pawnseka debacle gives as much joy to me as kicking a dead dog. The Sri Lankan people have demonstrated in no uncertain terms that they know a fraud when they see one! One spiteful kick on the political carcass of Pawnseka reveals that he is well and truly dead, and not even political desperados and bungling strategists like Mangala Samaraweera , Ranil Wickremesinghe, and who else, let me think, hmm … oh, Somawansa Amerasinghe will think twice before touching Pawnseka with a barge pole again.
However, reasons of sanitation require one to make sure that the dog is dead before burying it. The metaphorical ‘burying of the dog’ requires that he not be allowed to leave the country without facing the law on many cases yet to be fully investigated. That is the context within which the current foreign moves of offers of political ‘asylum’ to the carcass needs to be looked at: the conspirators are basically saying, “We couldn’t save Prabhakaran, but we’ll have the next best agent of destabilization in our Pawny!”
Surely the US, UK, and Australia, who lecture us on law and order and all the other ‘civilized ways of human behavior,’ understand that a man who may have possibly broken the law of the land where he held high office should not be given ‘asylum;’ the right description of that would be ‘harboring a criminal.’ Considering his mental state as a compassionate group of people, we will send Pawnseka to just the right place at Angoda!
Leaving that issue aside, the dying stages of Pawnseka’s stupid megalomania typified the idiotic behavior that was the hallmark of the ‘campaign’ through its short course; here was a man who had just been spat upon by a vast majority of the Sri Lankan population in a free and fair election, holed up in a five-star hotel, pleading with other countries to ‘interfere!’
What Pawnseka ‘did’ during the ‘campaign’ was provide us with his disturbing level of incompetency. His verbal brick dropping and other faux pas will go down in history as those of a man who did not know his ‘ass from his elbow.’ President Rajapakse and the Sri Lankans in general were fortunate that there were some ‘smart’ people above him, like Gotabhaya Rajapakse, and the next rungs of the army to manage the war.
One assumes that Pawnseka, being a military man, is more at ease with the relatively cowardly art of using the gun than use of the proverbial ‘kaduwa.’ Being a man of a generation that still received significant exposure to the foreign language, Pawnseka’s troubles with English is suggestive of low intelligence rather than class or social reasons; it has been proven that a parrot could learn English easily with a bit of exposure!
Pawnseka’s candidacy from day one was a fraud, involving the fanning of his stupid megalomania by a clique of ‘nobodies’ in Sri Lankan politics and society in general, backed by a US and UK conspiracy, managed this time on the ground by Australia.
The first problem was that there were no credible grounds for him to base his stupid wish upon. Sri Lanka had just managed to come out from a thirty year-long period in hell, imposed by an ignorant Fascist. Yes, the President was assisted by his brothers, and maybe even other relatives in achieving the feat of military victory. But who can blame the President? It is clear that the President, in his usually reliable wisdom, found that Pawnseka was not competent or trustworthy. Wasn’t he right in that judgment?!
Trying to build up this reliance on trustworthy people as a plague of ‘nepotism’ was ridiculous, and people knew it! Then the issue of corruption: here was a man (dog?) who was demanding land, motor vehicles, and other pay backs for doing his job as a public servant – military commanders are public servants, for his information – jumping up and down in his cage, promising to cleanse Sri Lanka of corruption, supported by a crew that included Ranil Wickremesinghe and Somawansa Amerasinghe. That is even before you get to mention other frauds like Mangala Samaraweera who spent 20 million rupees of poor peoples’ money to refurbish his office to suit his ‘avant garde’ tastes, and Ravi Karunanayake who is as close to a common thief as a politician could get! But the dog is dead!
The most significant feature that came out of the foreign sponsorship of this ugly conspiracy was that the implementation on the ground was done by Australia. Blake (he must be still wiping eggs off his face, the worm), clearly found that he and the US were too notorious to be in charge. What he did was activate the UKUSA (UK+US+Australia) alliance of ruling class Zionists in these countries.
Jim McGrath who ‘advised’ Pawnseka, and was at Cinnamon Grand Hotel in the dying stages of the dog, is not British as has been suggested in some media reports; he is a party official of the Liberal Party – the more reactionary party in Australia. It is also significant that, as sources suggest, the Australian agent in Colombo, Kathy Klugman, was the first visitor to ‘greet’ Jagath Jayasuriya when he assumed duties, and was accepting known ex-Tiger cadres as ‘refugees.’
Now that Pawnseka is seeking ‘asylum’ there, Australia has also come out so say that his ‘freedom of movement’ needs to be ensured – an invitation to visit the embassy in Colombo – meaning, ‘we can talk!’ That was not all. The leadership of the spy network, usually referred to as the international ‘journalists,’ was clearly transferred to a woman by the name of Sally Sara of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC).
The Western media, reporting of the high hopes of their ‘campaign’ to install the dog, and the election itself, was a lesson in the well rehearsed western media campaign of lying and misreporting carried out with the hope of inciting small numbers of local fools to undertake street violence as a portrayal of ‘people power’ and government law and order protection measures as human rights violations.
The essential first ingredient of the conspiracy was to keep reporting a really close-run election, too hard to predict the result of. Reuters, AP, AFP, and Sally Sara kept reporting this ridiculous lie to their home audiences and the world in general. To spice it all up a little bit, they routinely added the adjective ‘bitterly-fought;’ has there been an election anywhere in the world that was ‘sweetly-fought?’
Then came the election day; the reports by then showed signs that they feared things were not going according to plan, and were praying for some government indiscretions. Sally Sara was writing that Colombo was ‘tense.’ Her prayers were answered finally when Pawnseka holed himself in the hotel and the army introduced precautionary measures. In a desperate attempt to hype-up the situation, she appeared in reports relayed by all US networks, standing in front of the hotel, excited! Her voice was trembling, and was suggesting that things were on knife-edge!
By mid afternoon, it appeared that Sally Sara’s keenly-awaited ‘opportunity’ had turned out to be a damp squib. Then she decided to interview Pawnseka’s daughter, Apsara, (whom she re-christened as Ansara, and by Reuters as Aspara; identities do not matter to them, they are just tools for a task!), who duly obliged with a tearful interview. She proved to be as good as dad as a communicator!
Pawnseka obviously didn’t match the ‘right’ profile his foreign backers would have been looking for; like the fraudsters in Georgia, Mikhail Saakashvili and Viktor Yushchenko in the Ukraine whom they used in the early 1990s in former Soviet Republics; Pawnseka had as much charisma as a debt collector, trying in vain to pose a smile and his communication abilities matched those of a dead man.
One can go on. But the reality of the situation is that the global population, including peasant populations who have no interest in power play, have woken up to the Western tactic of manipulating local factors to achieve regime change. The bogus campaigns of human rights violations and crimes against other esoteric virtues have become blunt because the only modest aspiration of these people is a decent meal and reasonable health and educational facilities for their families. President Rajapaksa knows this as well as anybody, and they have reciprocated with their trust.
One more time: Down with Pawnseka … forever!
