Below is a well written article by Richard Dixon that appeared in the
Telegraph. It shows the extent of intrigues the International
Community would stretch itself to subvert a genuine liberation
movement and generalize it as a terrorist organization. Prabhakaran's
main crime was his desire to protect his people from a genocidal
Sinhalese regime. He had not committed any act of terrorism outside
Sri Lanka. Even in the case of Rajiv Gandhi murder, the Jain
Commission handed down an open verdict and implicated characters such
as Narasimha Rao's guru, Chandraswamy and Subramaniam Swamy. The fact
that none of the Congress leaders or their allies was killed in the
explosion speaks volumes for itself.

The only reason he earned the wrath of the International Community was
his military skill in organizing and conducting the guerilla warfare.
This was too much for the IC, as they were worried the other less
efficient liberation groups could copy his methods. The new
international order demanded a peaceful environment, where they can
develop international trade and exploit the smaller nations. The
Tamils would have been happy to cooperate with them in meeting their
requirements had the IC recognized their grievances. Instead of this
they decided to crush them, thus leading them to their present plight.

Lies, deceptions, hallmark of Sri Lanka war- Telegraph
[TamilNet, Monday, 18 May 2009, 11:14 GMT]

"Chinese weapons, Indian intelligence, Sinhala Armed personals and
racist Sri Lankan leaders came together to perform one of the most
cruel war that has cost the lives of many thousands innocents," says
Richard Dixon, a columnist in London's Telegraph. While "Tamils all
over the world are mourning the death of their loved ones back home,"
and "birds have now stopped singing in a land called Vanni," Dixon
writes, "leaders of Sri Lanka and some responsible officers in the UN,
should be questioned in international courts in order to find out if
they were responsible for the deaths of innocent Tamils."

Full text of the article follows:

The Real Culprits behind Sri Lankan War

Birds have now stopped singing in a land called Vanni. Sun, moon and
the stars in the sky have hidden their faces. Angel of death flew over
the skies of Vanni and took the lives of more than twenty five
thousand innocent Tamil men, women and children in a single day.

Thousands of wounded are still crying out for help. They are bleeding
to death on the streets. They have touched neither water nor food for
days. Nobody has come to rescue them. Those who fight for the rights
of the animals and those who preach about Buddha and Mahatma have no
compassion for the dying Tamils.

Chinese weapons, Indian intelligence, Sinhala Armed personals and
racist Sri Lankan leaders came together to perform one of the most
cruel war that has cost the lives of many thousands innocents.

While thousands of innocent children and women are facing painful and
slow death, Sinhala Buddhist extremists are celebrating victory with
flags and fire crackers in the south of the country.

War, that was started with hidden agendas of local and international
forces, went on for months not just with the strength of the weapons
but with well organised false propaganda done by the Sri Lankan
officials.

This war was orchestrated and staged with lies and deceptions from the
beginning till the end.

Sri Lankan leaders are still vomiting out worms of lies

Rulers of Sri Lanka are continuing to vomit out worms of lies to
justify their atrocities against innocent lives. They started with
"War on Terror" but changed the buzz word to "Humanitarian Operation"
in order to deceive the international community. "War on Terror" was
an accepted norm during the Bush era but lost its validity now.
Therefore they had changed the name of the game to "Humanitarian
operation"

Why do they lie?

Because they have many hidden agendas behind this dirty war. They want
to hide the atrocities that are being committed against innocent
civilians. They themselves know, what they are doing is wrong and not
acceptable in a civilised world.

Above everything they want to protect India who is orchestrating the
war in Sri Lanka. Indian intelligent agents and military experts are
working closely with the Sri Lankan forces in the war zone.

How do they manage to lie?

They simply hide the truth. When the truth is hidden what comes out is lie.

Foreign journalists and aid workers are barred from the war zone and
IDP camps. Those who try to enter and report about the WAR are kicked
out of the country if they are critical of the government.

Local journalists are intimidated, tortured and sometime killed.
Telling the truth is considered a crime in Sri Lanka.

Phone lines are tapped. Web sites are blocked. Anybody, who talk
against the government, is considered as Terrorist or Terrorist
supporter.

In the war front, dead bodies of the civilians are burned to ashes
using powerful chemicals. This is to hide the number of innocent
civilians that have perished in the war.

Sri Lankan government officials very often organise staged visits to
the IDP camps and force the refugees to lie to the foreign diplomats.

What did they lie about?

They lied about the objective of the war, weapons used, number of
civilian causalities and military operations.

Although they initially claimed that the objective of the war was to
defeat the LTTE, they have in fact killed and wounded several
thousands of innocent Tamil civilians with heavy weapons. They used
chemical weapons and cluster bombs on innocents, but they continue to
deny the usage of such weapons.

Sri Lankan forces have destroyed Schools, hospitals and farm lands and
made the whole place into a graveyard for the Tamils. This is also
regularly denied by the Sri Lankan authorities.

This war has claimed more than fifty thousand lives just within the
last few months but the Sri Lankan government is not going to open
their mouth and tell this truth to the world.

Why didn't the UN intervene?

United Nations, who is supposed to be a guardian for the oppressed
people in the world turned out to be a silent spectator of a manmade
disaster that has taken the lives of many thousands.

There is a conspiracy behind this whole war game. China was initially
blocking every attempt that was made by UK and France to discuss the
Sri Lankan issue in the Security Council.

Ban Ki-moon's chief of staff Vijay Nambiar was sent to Sri Lanka to
organise a cease fire. He failed to secure a ceasefire and returned
back after meeting the Sri Lankan and Indian officials.

Interestingly Vijay Nambiar couldn't achieve anything constructive in
his visit and he had also refused to meet the reporters.

This 'unbiased' negotiator, who appears to actually be on the payroll
of the Sri Lankan government, though indirectly, something that is
obviously known to the United Nations. Vijay Nambiar`s brother (Satish
Nambiar) is a paid consultant for the Sri Lankan army, and has been
since 2002. Is there any link between the UN and the Sri Lankan army`s
paid consultant?

UN has once again proved to the world that it is no longer a trust
worthy international body that can protect the vulnerable.

They have all achieved what they wanted

What we are witnessing in Sri Lanka is neither "war on terror" nor a
Humanitarian operation. This is simply a racist war against the Tamils
conducted with the help of India and China. You wouldn't shoot at the
passengers and bomb the whole bus, if you had to rescue the hostages.

Sinhala extremists are already celebrating and they have also started
to intimidate Tamils in the South of the country.

India and China have started to work on their hidden agendas in Sri Lanka.

Tamils all over the world are mourning the death of their loved ones back home.

What Next?

When the rocket scientists designed highly complex derivatives and
greedy traders traded these new emperors cloths, many investment banks
collapsed. Pension funds lost money. Bankers committed suicide.

The whole financial disaster was caused by greedy and selfish
individuals who had short term hidden agendas.

We took action. Greedy bankers and traders were taken to courts. New
rules and regulations are now in place to prevent this happening
again.

In the same way, the masters of this war in Sri Lanka should be
brought to justice.

Sinhala government with racist agendas, China and India with their
strategic interests and UN with corrupt officers are the evil
ingredients of this dirty war that has cost the lives of many
thousands innocent Tamils.

Leaders of Sri Lanka and some responsible officers in the UN should be
questioned in international courts in order to find out if they were
responsible for the deaths of innocent Tamils.

If we didn't, we would end up seeing more of such evil games repeated
over and over again.
