The Joker In The Pack!



"Do not be concerned whether, Prabhakaran will swallow his cyanide pill? Cyanide piles are their only for those Hindu jokers! Indeed with so many vultures nipping at his heels, Prabhakaran is fast becoming the.. joker in the pack."

(December 19, Colombo, Sri Lanka Guardian) Army commander Sarath Fonseka has dismissed Tamil Nadu politicians as being a bunch of political jokers. This missive has stuck a raw nerve of these politicians. Chief Minister M Karunanidhi expressed his displeasure of the ‘jokers’ affair in such a manner; "Leaders criticising one another in Tamil Nadu are different, but we cannot accept someone from outside the country saying such things about our leaders,”

The world at large was tickled pink by the antics of these comedians! So now it’s clear! Its acceptable for a terrorist to bump off Indian leaders, such as when Karunanidhi’s terrorist’s pal Velupillai Prabhakaran bombed Rajiv Ghandhi. Indeed as long as Mr P did not call him ugly names; such as Rajiv being a ‘joker’ this terror act was acceptable. Well now that’s a relief!

Fonseka, in that sense has been insensitive to the golden rule of Tamil Nadu ‘decorum’. The terrorists who sacked Mumbai a few days back has taken that hint seriously, for though they wiped out 250 Indians; they never called them nitwits or clowns. No wonder Karunanidhi’s didn’t make a big number of that terror strike, for those terrorists had abided by Tamil Nadu terror ethic.

Vaiko, the main LTTE proxy in Tamil Nadu, declared that Fonseka's assertions as “an affront to India and Tamil Nadu, and demanded that the Union government summon the island nation's foreign minister and ask for an unconditional apology from both the army commander and Sri Lankan president Mahinda Rajapakse”. He was seething with anger for the humiliation of such cruel “words, out of unbridled temerity and arrogance.”

In fact we notice Vaiko does not appreciate empty words, for he prefers action!

After the terror attack on the Colombo International Airport he declared that, 'the boys were all less than 20 years old, entered the airport with ease, devastated many air-crafts, and caused extensive damage to the air-port. I am proud of the boys, since after causing huge loss all the boys returned safely without any loss of life'. Well Vaiko, where are those boys now, six feet under?

After the assassination attempt on Chandrika Kumarathunga, he crowed to the world at large "She needs to be lucky every time, but we need to be lucky only once". Thus identifying his and LTTE terrorists’ aims as being of same.

Fonseka under the circumstances has been gentle on Vaiko; he did not define him as a‘ halfwit inflicted with a touch of amnesia’.


Vaiko was furious that his verbal harangue was disregarded by the Sinhalese. For these ‘swollen headed’ Sinhalese, take ‘Vaikos and Karunanidhis’ of India as if they were stray dogs ‘barking at the full moon’. Naturally Sinhalese had the right for the moral high ground. They, unlike these terror supporting clowns, have not injected terrorism on any of their neighbours.


Certain simple truths of life have simply eluded these dolts. It is common knowledge among the Sinhalese ‘chauvinists’ that; though one can put a fence round a country, it’s impossible to put a fence round someone’s mouth, (a wise old Sinhalese proverb). USA’s President is insulted day in day out, by his own citizens and Foreigners. The other day even shoes were thrown at him, which he successfully dodged. Did President Bush throw any shoes back? Not on your life, for to respond for such off the cuff remarks is as good as committing political Hari-kari in the civilised world.


Once a woman remarked to Churchill ‘Winston if I was your wife I would have given you poison’. Churchill without blinking an eye shot back, ‘madam if I was your husband I will drink it.’ A glaring example as to how, a smart politician tackles such tricky situations. No wonder English ruled Indians for two centuries. Luckily India had a Mahatma Gandhi. If they had a moron like Karunanidhi with his special preferences for terrorism, then they will still be fighting for their independence.


Sri Lankans has become wise to ‘Karunanidhis, Vikos’ and other LTTE friendly Indians who joined the Norwegian UD to export terror on Sri Lanka, thus bringing misery and devastation to its people for three decades. Now the ‘good old Buddhist tolerance’ has evaporated in Sri Lanka. The days are numbered for those few Quislings left in the bureaucracy. As soon as the LTTE terror organisation is eliminated, Lankans should start compiling a list of traitors, especially Ranil’s Catholic cabinet, which gave the list of patriotic names to the LTTE so they could murder them systematically.


A few days ago ‘National Freedom Front’ Leader Wimal Weerawansa informed the parliament that, the former Norwegian Ambassador Jon Westborg has landed in Colombo, and taken a room in the Taj Hotel. Weerawansa was of the opinion that Weasborg was here in order to help UNP defeat the Rajapaksa Government's defence budget proposals. Hence he told the parliament that, the ‘former LTTE’ Ambassador in Colombo had a sack full of cash to bribe the political 'frogs' in Parliament who are ready to jump into the Ranil-led Opposition if they are assured of monetary gains.”


He added that “This is possibly a last ditch attempt to save Prabhakaran and his cohorts who are now cornered in Kilinochchi...”


As for Jon Westborg’s mission in Colombo, Weerawansa’s assessment may be correct, but I feel he has a more sinister agenda than that.


Presently the LTTE is on the verge of getting wiped out. And the Peace Industry, under the propitious patronage of the Norwegian UD, had laboured to get a ‘ghetto’ Elam for its Jaffna Tamil Catholic friends. But that ship has left the port now. The time is here to cut their losses and do a disappearing act. So Bondevik, Westborg and Solheim have begun to back pedal in order to fade out of history. In order to achieve that, they have to expunge their past. It is as if, there have never been any ‘facilitators of peace’ in the Island. So Jon Westborg’s mission perhaps is; not for saving the life of the terror boss, but of extinguishing it! How so?


Obviously if Prabhakaran is to fall in to the hands of the Sri Lankan military then; UD’s goose is cooked. All the secret dealings between UD and Prabhakaran will dribble out. So the question should be; did Jon Westborg put out a contract for the assassination of the sun God? What better way is their to expunge the past? Or did he want the sun God smuggled into Colombo, so they could whisk him off the Island? Logic says that the first option is the logical one.


Under the circumstances my advice to the sun God is: always keep looking over the shoulders; especially a sharp look out for his friends. Or during the hot February sun, he will be rotting as a corpus.


Indeed if I was in Prabhakaran, I will take my chances with the Sri Lankan army, as his good comrade Karuna did. For Sinhalese are a forgiving lot.


Some people in Sri Lanka are obsessed that India will interfere in Lankan affairs again. They are totally mistaken! India needs Sri Lanka more than ever to safeguard its rear end. If they even think of invading Sri Lanka again then certainly that will be the end of India as we know it.


In fact India needs Sri Lanka’s to exterminate the Catholic Tamil terror from its southern border for its own security. For as soon as terrorists in Sri Lanka exterminate LTTE, terrorism will blossom in Tamil Nadu proper. That means India must prepare to fight on three fronts. And who should know how to fight these Catholic Church financed terrorists better than Sinhalese Buddhists?


According to the informed sources, LTTE activists have entrenched in Tamil Nadu and Kerala and possibly even in Karnataka. They are backed by massive funding, not just by Sri Lankan Tamil Diaspora but also by Catholic Tamil Diaspora as well. India needs a good friend in the southern flank but it should not take things for granted. Soon India will realize that it needs Sri Lanka and not vice versa.

For through LTTE has been finished off in Sri Lanka, those LTTE cells and their extensions in India would blossom into life then. For when India instigated terror on the unsuspecting innocent harmonious society of Sri Lanka, it never dreamed that it thereby had sowed the seed of its own destruction.


Indeed they will soon find that, what goes round comes round. Under the circumstances it is profitable for India to give all the aid to Gotabhaya Rajapakse and General Fonseka to eliminate terror in Sri Lanka. They are not politicians so they will call a spade a spade and a joker, nothing but a joker. Sarath was kind to these stooges; he could have called them morons, which is more appropriate.


India should disregard these empty vessels making noises concerning their lost dignity. India’s present concern must be for its territorial integrity. In this connection if both Sri Lanka and India should get hold of that mass murderer Prabhakaran, their work will be that much easier. For Prabhakaran has all the information as to the European nations which helped him finance terror in the Indian subcontinent.

Do not be concerned whether, Prabhakaran will swallow his cyanide pill? Cyanide piles are their only for those Hindu jokers! Indeed with so many vultures nipping at his heels, Prabhakaran is fast becoming the.. joker in the pack.
