Prabhakaran is tactically withdrawing into the Sea

by Mahinda Weerasinghe

(January 15, Colombo, Sri Lanka Guardian) Ever since Velupillai Prabhakaran lost Mavil Aru he has been tactically withdrawing. Curiously enough we understand that the sun Sun God now has decided tactically to withdraw into the sea. He came to this original decision after reading ‘Twenty-Thousand Leagues under the Sea’ by Jules Verne.

The plan is brilliant in its elegance and simplicity. While he and his close cahoots will be living under the sea in a submerged bunker, the rest of the LTTE fighting cardre will be swimming in the sea around his bunker and waiting for that great day when the final putsch to regain Tamil Eelam is activated. In fact this plan is not very different from the plan of those Catholic Tamils living in Canada, Norway and other European countries, i.e. to wait in the wings until the ghetto Eelam is liberated by the Pot Pol of Jaffna, from the Sinhalese Buddhist chauvinist.

Naturally there is a difference; while the Hindu LTTE jokers are swimming about in the sea, the Jaffna Catholics will be living in the Western nations in comfort until that great day dawns, when tactically they can reclaim Eelam.

Little wonder Sarath Fonseka declared that “this must be the longest tactical withdrawal in history.” For “he (Prabhakaran) has been tactically withdrawing ever since he lost Mavil Aru.” Once they tactically withdraw into the sea they can leisurely regroup and live out their dreams, of a tactical invasion and an eventual massacre of the despicable Sinhalese Buddhist.

Now we hear that Poddu Amman, the LTTE intelligence wing leader and former second in command of the LTTE, has surrendered to the GoSL. This surrender has taken place in an undisclosed location when the LTTE veteran handed himself over to a SLA Special Forces unit. This surrender hit me like a ton of Bricks. In fact I wonder how the fat Supremo took it. I assume it would have hit him like a bucket of shit!

It has been said that the supreme commander of the Eelam forces, (also called the Sun God), had fallen out with Poddu Amman for his failure to effectively target the GoSL military commanders and top politicians. Hence the ‘undemocratically’ elected President of the racially pure and unadulterated Jaffna Tamil Eelam, (for simplicity I will call this sun God, Fat Praba from here on, for obvious reasons) has banished the intelligence wing leader some weeks ago. Ever since, Poddu Amman has been looking for a way out, as he knew his number was up. He must have assessed the situation and found that the racist Sinhala Buddhists were his best bet for protection from the Tamil Catholic LTTE leadership. In fact his life was in danger from fat Proba and his LTTE associates for several reasons. He is the repository of every secret of the fat man. If he is eliminated, then thereby those secrets will be buried for ever with him. Indeed Fat Proba has being aiming at killing two birds with one stone.

If the rumour that Poddu has been taken into Special Forces’ custody and held incognito in an undisclosed location is true, then fat Praba’s days are numbered. For now we hear those Tamil Nadu jokers are already seeking extradition of him to India.

In fact the capture of the executioner of Rajiv Gandhi is the biggest coup since Karuna Amman’s breakaway. Indeed it’s bigger than that, and better than the capture of the Fat boy himself, the darling of Norwegian foreign office.

A comprehensive assessment as to why Fat Proba would wish to eliminate his chief murderer is important at this stage.

In fact if Poddu Amman is eliminated, there is no “hands on” proof of fatty’s handy work. For as long as Poddu Amman is in the world of the living, there is a threat to fatty being tried by the International tribunals. So now we understand why the earlier LTTE ambassador Weasborg visited Colombo and took a room in the Taj Hotel. He would have received information that Poddu has escaped the fat mans clutches before he got a chance to be bumped off. This must be an effort by Weasborg at damage control!

Another bad news for the fat man is the hierarchies of the various LTTE fronts in many countries are alleged to have been drinking champagne every time LTTE looses its terrain as the fund collectors’ use of those funds collected for LTTE war chest are used for their own benefit. It is now rumoured that, these fund collectors have gone missing with the millions of dollars collected for the LTTE terror campaign.

Also the Jaffna Catholic Diaspora Fund raisers are in a quandary as to whether to release the remaining funds to the LTTE finance wing as they have been taken in by news of increasing leadership conflicts within the LTTE’s high command. They are also said to be fearful of Poddu’s interrogation transcripts, as it would blow the cover off of the LTTE’s overseas fund raising activities and leave them exposed to criminal proceedings and civil litigation from jurisdictions where the LTTE is banned.

As far as the Sri Lankans are concerned, the following information is vital to be elicited from him.

The assassination plans of Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi, President Ranasinha Premadasa and Foreign Minster Lakshman Kadirgamar.

List of European financers of terror in Sri Lanka and the arms suppliers of LTTE?

The list of the LTTE card carrying catholic priest.

Once this information is in place, Fat Prabha’s coffin is nailed.

No wonder the Special Forces are keeping him in an undisclosed location till they pump out all the information. And it’s correct of them to deny that they have the Poddu Amman in their net. Once the Lankan government maps out all the details, it can ask for compensation from the terror supporting European nations for all the damage caused to Sri Lanka.

The Norwegian Embassy in a Press Release has condemned the assassination of Mr. Lasantha Wickramatunga, the Chief Editor of ‘Sri Lankan Sunday Leader’. That was nice of them, I thought! Indeed Norwegian embassy was concerned about those many cases of assault, harassment and intimidation of media workers and institutions in Sri Lanka.

Well if Poddu Amman is in the custody of the Sri Lankan security apparatus, the Norwegian Foreign office will get answers to all their quarries. They will also get answers to questions they never asked, such as Norwegian Foreign office undisclosed transfer of money to the LTTÉ terror organization and how it armed it.

In fact the Norwegian UD must be working overtime to erase from the memory of the International community, the then famous visit by Jan Petersen, the Norwegian Foreign Minister. That he met the mass murderer of Tamil Elam in Killinochchi, in 2004 where Jen met and greeted the fatty, Velupillai Prabhakaran as a hero.

Quislings of Sri Lanka, such as Ranil, Jayalath Jayawadene and the rest of the Catholic cabinet of Ranil, must also be concerned.

Time is here for the Norwegian folk to request an investigation of the UDs terror dealings before the Sri Lanka army discloses its lurid details which would associate Norway with terrorism. This will be sad, for the Norwegian people are as innocent as the new born babes.
