Sri Lanka’s polity on 21 Sep 24 refused to surrender to Yankee–IMF rule, by spurning – for the first time in her history –the entire list of Presidential candidates approved by the Election Commissioner; not one of the 38, yankee-backed candidates, was able to secure a ‘majority-vote’; viz more than 50 per cent of the votes cast.

This resulted in a second vote- count, constitutionally but controversially executed, giving rise to the integrity of the Election Commissioner and his staff being seriously called into question.

AKD became Sri Lanka’s first minoritarian President, distrusted by most of the people.

This result was not to the liking of the yanks who are going overboard, attempting to reverse the people’s will and secure a clear victory for AKD at the General Elections.

At the Presidential election, 2.8 million people, a near quarter of the registered voters, spoiled their votes or abstained from voting.

The anti-yank sentiment raised concerns at the Election Commissioner’s office, nettling the Commissioner to comment, There is yet no clear explanation of how a large number of voters at the presidential election on Sept 21 spoilt their votes; we will look at the rejected votes to understand why this happened.”

At the election, all the candidates lost their deposits, save three.

The Pretender to the throne, the leader of the UNP, attempted to create an impression of a ‘distance’ between himself and the Party when he filed his candidature for the Presidency as an ‘Independent’.

In 2020, the extent of  the Pretender’s unpopularity (attempting to establish yankee rule in the country via the MCC) was such that he was unable to secure even his own seat in parliament.

Amazingly however, he became the sole UNPer in parliament when he dishonourably used his position in the party-hierarchy to muscle-out the rightful aspirants and grab for himself the only seat allotted to the seatless- party, under the ‘National List’ mechanism.

This is the man who subsequently colluded with the yanks to betray Sri Lanka by secretly and illegally signing the IMF terms-of surrender.

How did this discarded piece of political-trash worm his way into a position, to secretly and illegally deal with the IMF?

It was when Goo-Gota – a tag commonly used to describe Nandasena following his treacherous role in the yankee funded insurrection – appointed this unpopular and sole UNPer in parliament as Prime Minister, ignoring the many in his own party who were capable.

This appointment took place in the aftermath of the yank-orchestrated mob rampage that took place in the wake of notorious international-terrorist, Nuland, provoking the Galle-Face insurrectionists to violence.

The Nation, yet recovering from Goo-Gota’s announcement that he was inviting the IMF into the country, was at the receiving end of a bigger shock when his choice of PM was no other than the IMF- darling in the country.

Two months later Goo-Gota transferred political Executive power, given him by 70% of the country, to a piece of discarded political trash who allegedly could not even muster 2000 votes at the bygone General Election; he was discarded for the simple reason that he was attempting to bring Sri Lanka under Yankee rule.

The illegal power-transfer took place, seemingly under the duress of an insurrection, when the insurrectionists broke-in and vandalised the ‘President House’.

During the Presidential Election campaign, the Pretender threatened the people with starvation if they were not supportive of his treachery.

Coincidently, starvation was the guiding rationale of the yanks during the jock-strap insurrection.

The insurrection owes its name to Dharmadasa who was caught on camera  stripping himself and hanging his underwear on a police barrier for airing and sanitation; subsequently, the Pretender thought it fit to have jock-strap Dharmadasa as his media chief.   

The Pretender clearly communicated his threat choosing the ‘gas’ cylinder as his election symbol; at the height of the yankee jock-strap insurrection, gas cylinders kept exploding all-over Sri Lanka, killing many in their kitchens.

The voters, ignoring the threat, dumped Mr Batalanda, of Gonawala-Sunil ill-fame, to an also-ran position.

The Pretender however did not seem unduly concerned with the results of the election.

A distinct feature at the Presidential Election was the yawning gap between the people, and the candidates offering themselves for election, as reflected in the manifestos of the 38 yankee-backed candidates.

The yankee invader must understand that IMF conditions of surrender will never be honoured or implemented by the people; they were never a party to the secret betrayal and they fiercely repudiate any form of yankee rule of the Country. They unequivocally declare that they would annul all the illegal legislation engendered by the IMF.

When a constitutional government follows a government created by an insurrection, it is not bound by legislation enacted by this monstrosity

The SJB leadership, which has bowed down to yankee rule, whines hollowly that it would renegotiate the terms of surrender with the yanks.

The JVP/NPP remained slyly silent on the issue until a foreign reporter prised the truth, forcing AKD to admit that he and his party, the JVP/NPP, have agreed to yankee rule.

Many of the JVP cadres in the NPP are unaware of the 180- turnaround of their leadership which burnt the election platforms to a cinder with their anti-yankee rhetoric.  

This polarity in thinking, between the people and the political Parties in the fray, exposes the degree of yankee corruption sweeping the country.

It is ironic that the yanks, who talk about corruption in Sri Lanka, are the worst offenders.

This hypocritical attitude is not surprising. 

Former South Korean Chung Ji-yoon who masquerades behind her Caucasian ‘go-fetch-ball’ name, ‘Julie’, marshalled the different elements of the jock-strap insurrection – ‘seditious-conspiracy’ as the yanks call it – to put the Pretender on the throne; the Pretender is a direct off-shot of the insurrection.

Analysts say that South Korea would be adversely affected, economically, if Mr. Trump were to be elected. Biden’s ‘Fetch-ball’ Julie, played an insidious role; while being employed by Washington, she poisoned the minds of the Sri Lankan people against a humane president, who did not wage a single war, during his first watch.

Fetch-ball Julie, planted stories in Sri Lanka’s social and print media networks, that wag their tails on her whine, insinuating that Mr Trump was not fit for presidency and suggesting that he should be incarcerated on charges of seditious conspiracy (viz insurrection).

What a contrast. In Sri Lanka she directly fuels a seditious conspiracy to parachute a pretender on the throne; in Washington, rooting for Biden, social media and print media networks that wag their tails at her bidding, insinuate that Mr Trump was not fit for presidency while suggesting that he should be incarcerated on charges of seditious conspiracy (viz insurrection).   

It is an open secret that the yanks are throwing millions of dollars to stage-manage a result that would give AKD control in parliament, to complete the IMF agenda.

A curious phenomenon at the recently-concluded Presidential Election – a phenomenon that prevails today too in events connected to the up- coming General Elections – is the shadowy role played by the UNP; whilst continuing to remain in the public-eye, the party appears to be deliberately operating on the fringes of the political activity taking place, almost as if it were a mere spectator.

How does this observation correlate with the news that AKD’s campaign posters were printed at ‘Wijeya Printers’ and allegations that the UNP is diverting some of their funds to the JVP campaign?

Colombo is generally considered the home-turf of the UNP, the well-spring of the ‘Kalu-Sudda’(black-whiteman) mentality; this is the mentality described by Malcolm X as the ‘House-Negro’ mentality which is not shared by the ‘Field-Negro’.

In Sri Lanka, the ‘Colombians’ conduct themselves as the self-appointed major-domos of the yanks.

But strangely, at functions, meetings, receptions and, social media platforms of the ‘Colombians’, the message given these days is very clear; vote for AKD.   

How does this protreptic reconcile with the major-domo image of the ‘Colombians’?

Rationally, the question that should precede is, ‘What are the yanks hoping to achieve by installing AKD on the throne? 

The yanks are presently in the process of consolidating their capture of Sri Lanka.

Goo-Gota having taken unbelievable measures to deplete the country’s vault, invited the IMF into the country and then, transferred power illegally to the Pretender.

Thereafter, the Pretender taking-up the baton, secretly signed an agreement of surrender with the yankee-IMF.

As credibly reported,  the 146 + plus conditions of surrender include the MCC landgrab, the privatisation of government assets, the framing of a new constitution giving political and police powers to the provinces, obliterating Article 9  of the present constitution that gives prominence and State protection  to Buddhism, dividing Sri Lanka’s land mass between India, China and the yanks as agreed between the three in 2012, establishing a 1.2 million acre yankee militarised corridor between TCO-CBO that will geographically divide the Island into two, permitting territory in the Northern and Eastern  provinces to be annexed to India, transferring to the Legislature the sole authority to wield executive power.

The Pretender has had legislation passed, unlawfully ‘legalising’ the MCC-landgrab, which the Supreme Court has previously determined as being unconstitutional.

The Pretender succeeded in enforcing, reportedly, some of the secret terms of surrender.  

It would be a tough task for the Pretender to implement some of the remaining ‘terms of surrender’ such as, changing the laws relating to the pay and conditions  of employment, privatising government assets, evicting and settling a 4 million refugees from the MCC corridor into small settlement areas catered for in the MCC map, devolving land and police powers to the provinces including areas originally  demanded by the separatist-terrorists, obliterating Buddhism from its pivotal role, allowing the country, North of the yankee – corridor, to be annexed by India, dividing the country on a North-South scission along the yankee-corridor to name a few.

The team chosen by AKD would shame the Pretender.

·        AKD’s chief economic advisor is Hulangamuwa, a senior partner at Ernst and Young (approx. 25 years), the yankee firm doing global contracts for the yankee government; this organisation has been embroiled in fraud and settled out of court, in one instance, paying a fine of $100 million dollars; the CCC (Ceylon Chamber of Commerce) is the voice box of the AMCHAM and the yanks are comfortable in dealing with this organisation funded by them. Hulangamuwa is the current Chairman of the CCC.

·        The Chairman security exchange commission is Dissabandara a Chevening academist.

·        Arjuna Herath is the Chairman of the BOI; he was also a senior partner of the fraudulent ‘Ernst and Young’.

·        The UGC chairman is a yank Fullbright product.

·        The Pretender’s trusted acolytes, Seneviratne from the Treasury and Central Bank  suspect in the ‘Bond’ case, Weerasinghe, continue merrily.

A former CCC chairman and a director on the Board of controversial Keells, Wijayasuriya, is AKD’s ‘Digital’ advisor.    

The CCC worked with the yanks in designing the MCC ‘grant’.

It is strange therefore that in 2019 Wijesuriya should write to the Pretender (then the PM) and ask him about the state of the MCC project because it was under his Vice-Presidential Watch at CCC that they worked on the MCC.

Jenner Edelman, Resident Country Director for MCC in Sri Lanka gave an appropriate answer. The Ceylon Chamber of Commerce worked with MCC in designing the grant. We would like to thank the Chamber for its participation in that process. The Chamber’s chief economist was part of the team that developed the grant. In 2017 the government submitted a proposal specifying activity to grow the economy. Over 2018 a team of Sri Lankans travelled to Washington to lead negotiations. That team was headed by the secretary to the treasury and included all of the key secretaries and the Attorney General.” https://archives1.dailynews.lk/2019/08/30/finance/195506/mcc-grant-based-sri-lankan-formulated-development-proposals

 The million dollar question  is who are Secretaries and the Attorney General who travelled, boarded and wined in the USA, at the expense of the Sri Lanka people’s money, in 2018?

It is evident that the yanks want AKD to do what the Pretender is unable to do. It is not for nothing that AKD is called, ‘Garme’ Ranil’.

The JVP cadres of the NPP are yet unaware of AKD’s plans with the IMF. The yanks have expressed their intense pleasure with AKD’s performance.

Initially, the JVP cadres will ensure that the Trade Unions will not paralyse the Nation while these measures are taking place.

When however, the stark reality hits the genuine JVP cadres they will react and the yankee ‘Pacific Command’ will be ready to take them and AKD down. 

JVP cadres will be leaderless and attempt to get the street; they must refrain from the folly they did in 1971 and 1989.   

The Harini from the NPP will be ready to take over without any JVPers.

AKD has been paving the way, in his speeches, for not having an opposition, not relinquishing power till the job is over; in short, a dictatorship; reminiscent of JRs ‘rolling the electoral map’. No one has spoken about it.

Harini and the NPP cadres may have to be propped-militarily by the yanks; the ACSA and the SOFA agreements are well in place and yank miliary contractors could include any Nationality, be they be in Arugam Bay or Beruwala.

AKD was given timely nudges from Samatha Power and the Admiral from the Indo-Pacific fleet

Once AKD has done his job, the Pretender and the UNP elements will move out of the shadows.

If Executive power is transferred to the Legislature, the people’s power to directly choose the Executive – presently expressed at a Presidential election – is diluted and will easily enable the yanks to rule the country through corruption.

Judging by his actions and words AKD is bent on dismantling the State. A vote for him is a vote for the yanks and the way forward for the UNP. The National Will has been aroused and the people were successful in not giving any one a majority. Adopt the same strategy until a party that will renounce the IMF and annul all the illegal laws made on behalf of the IMF arrives on the scene.

Go in your numbers and spoil you vote.  Show you are a part of the Sri Lankan opposition to the yankee curse.
