The sordid tale of “the Josef Fritzl of India”

There are certain criminal creatures whose crimes are so evil that other creatures who commit such crimes often get tagged with the name of the scoundrel who committed the first such villainy. Josef Fritzl is one such vile creature.

On the day Josef Fritzl was sentenced to life imprisonment for raping his own daughter for years as he kept her confined to a dungeon in his house in Amstetten, Austria and fathered her children, another scumbag in India gets arrested for a similar crime.

Kishore Chavan (50), a Mumbai-based businessman is reported to have raped his daughter for several years because a tantrik (an occultist or a black magician), Hasmukh Rathod (55), allegedly “advised” him that “raping his daughter would bring prosperity”. Chavan, a father of two girls aged 21 and 15 who owns a unit that manufactures automobile numberplates, has been raping his first daughter since 2000 when she was twelve years old. He is also reported to have let the tantrik rape his daughter. Another sickening fact is that Chavan’s wife and the mother of the two girls, Anjana (46), allegedly allowed it to happen in her presence.

With even her mother being an accomplice to the crimes of the two vermin, the terrified first daughter silently bore these atrocities for several years. However, it proved to be too much for her when the two scum beings began raping her younger sister. She complained to her grandmother and uncle who informed the police. Chavan, his wife and Rathod were arrested by the Mumbai police.

Child abuse in various forms is believed to an under-reported issue in India and the sexual abuse of young children by lecherous relatives is reportedly hushed up to save the “family honour”. This case also exposes the outrageous superstitious beliefs that are still prevalent in 21st century India. However, the monstrosity of this criminal exceeds those of other previously known perverts of whom there is no shortage, thanks to misogynist beliefs and the system of “extended extensive inbreeding”, in other words, the system of marriage between individuals of the same caste/sub-caste, one of the milder evils of the filthy caste system.

Scumbags like Fritzl and Chavan are a disgrace to humanity and proof that fatherhood does not prevent these vicious vermin from raping their own daughters. They bring shame upon the sacred bond of fatherhood and are a curse to civilised human society.

Grisly photos of the ongoing genocide in Sri Lanka

The brutal genocide in Sri Lanka carried out by the barbaric Sinhala fascist regime against the Tamils on the island is going on unabated, the regime being armed, egged on and aided by all the bloodthirsty swine in the filthy empires and wannabe empires of the world, with the full knowledge and support of the dirty scum in the United Nations. HUNDREDS are being butchered EVERYDAY from the air, sea and land by cluster bombs, firebombs, napalm bombs and every kind of lethal ammunition supplied by bloodthirsty barbarians in the governments and militaries of Israel, India, Iran, Russia, Pakistan and China. Want to take a look at handiwork of the Rajapaksa sewer rats? This post is for the enjoyment of all the sub-human swine who derive great sadistic pleasure at the sight of horrible photos. No, the clowns in the media will not show you any of this. For them, this is a “humanitarian operation” and they will carry only reports dished out to them by the swine in the Rajapaksa regime.

The world’s most bloodthirsty genocidal maniacs – the Rajapaksa goons would not spare anybody – neither the orphans nor the elderly nor the sick and injured nor medical staff nor children. For when almost the whole world is wholeheartedly backing and funding and arming the barbaric scum in their despicable acts of mass murder, all it takes is a complete media blackout, murdering and assaulting the few conscientous journalists like Lasantha and ordering all humanitarian aid workers and relief personnel out of the genocide zone to carry on one of the most horrific mass murders in recent history with full glee. Cluster bombs are used on civilian camps, napalm bombs are used on “safe zones” and hospitals are bombed from the air:

As for the Eezham Tamils and the diaspora, they must have now realised the futility of appealing to the conscience of the few civilised people in the world when all they do is to make a few mild noises. They must have smelt the stink of the souls of the vile bloodthirsty bastards in the Indian establishment who are playing an active role in the genocide as well as preventing civilised people from stopping the genocide. The people of Tamil Nadu owe them an apology for having elected idiots for whom the only thing that matters is staying in power in the state and clinging on to their ministerial portfolios at the centre.

After having realised that the whole world is playing a role in this genocide, they have no other option but to fend for themselves like they have been doing ever since the imperialists of Britain handed over the entire island to the bloodthirsty Sinhala fascist pseudo-Buddhists. They have no other option but to carry on their struggle for freedom on their own. The scum of the world, including India, will help the Sinhala fascist swine by building Nazi-style concentration camps for the “final solution” – exterminating those who were fortunate enough to survive the barbarians’ bombs. Having left with absolutely no one, they have only the LTTE that cares for them. Not the best allies, but what the hell, when the whole world is bent on exterminating them, the LTTE do seem like angels. If not the LTTE, then some other organisation will have to take up their just cause. The Sinhala fascist scum will never let the Tamils even live, let alone live with peace and dignity and equality on the traditional homeland of the Tamils. The struggle should continue. By any means. Till the ultimate goal is reached. Till the millions of litres of blood that they have shed gets represented as the colour of blood on the flag of a free Tamil Eelam:

All men and women are born equals and they have a right to live as free citizens of the world. No filthy swine on Earth can oppress a people seeking to live in freedom. No bloody rat can suppress a struggle to end oppression for too long. Not all the imperial scum of the world. Nor all the rabid dogs in the world. Nor the gods.

Pakistan’s top nuclear scientist is a free man, at last!

Dr. Abdul Qadeer Khan, the Pakistani nuclear scientist and the man responsible for building Pakistan’s nuclear capability, was finally freed from house arrest by the Islamabad High Court last Friday. Dr. Khan, known to the world as A Q Khan, was accused of “proliferating” sensitive nuclear technology to a few countries. Under international pressure, the then Musharraf regime placed the scientist under house arrest after the now retired military dictator “pardoned” Dr. Khan, widely regarded as a national hero in Pakistan, after he supposedly confessed to “proliferating” nuclear secrets. The scientist later said that the “confession” was made under pressure.

Dr. A Q Khan is a free man now…

The fledgling but virtually powerless democratic government in Pakistan has been taken aback by international criticism and is considering filing an appeal to overturn his release. Despite the fact that the 72-year old scientist had been stripped of all his powers and the fact that his “proliferation network” had been dismantled long ago, the ailing scientist was not released after the democractic government took over in Pakistan.

(If the video does not load, you can watch it here.)

The democratic government should not consider filing an appeal to overturn his release. The ailing 72-year old scientist deserves to be a free man. Dr. Khan has committed no crime. Even in the episode of alleged “proliferation of nuclear secrets”, Dr. Khan was made a scapegoat by the military regime to cover up the involvement of members of the establishment who must have played a part in exchanging nuclear details with a country like North Korea in return for missile technology.

Why has Dr. Khan committed no crime? First, Pakistan is not a member of the Nuclear non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and is not a member of the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) either. So the laws relating to “nuclear proliferation” do not apply to Pakistan. Pakistan did enact laws after the Khan episode against the transfer of nuclear technology, but Dr. Khan cannot be tried under those laws. The only law the scientist would have breached would be the secrecy laws for government officials. But again, it should be clear that one man alone cannot transfer such sensitive technology to other countries without the involvement of powerful members of the establishment. He was made a scapegoat and forced to take all the blame by members of the esatablishment who did not want the world to know the complete story. And the scapegoat was made to suffer under house arrest for so long. He deserves to be free now. And he should be given extra security by the government of Pakistan as rogue intelligence agencies like the Mossad and the CIA would probably want to kidnap him or assassinate him.

Dr. Khan is just a nuclear scientist. None of his alleged “proliferation” activities has led to any nuclear holocaust like the heinous crimes that were perpetrated on the people of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in World War II. If anything, people like J. Robert Oppenheimer and Gen. Leslie R. Groves who were responsible for developing the first nuclear bomb are far, far greater criminals than someone like A Q Khan. For a world that did not punish the notorious war criminals who dropped the atomic weapons on Hiroshima and Nagasaki to call A Q Khan “a rogue nuclear scientist” is absolutely ridiculous. The real rogue scientists are the ones like Robert Oppenheimer who developed the filthy nuclear weapons that were used to annihilate the helpless civilians of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Then, there is this “proliferation” nonsense. Its outrageous that five countries (the U.S.A., Russia, China, France and the U.K.) claim every right to stockpile as many nuclear weapons as they like, develop “useable nukes” and even threaten to use it against other countries, and yet seek to prevent the “proliferation” of these weapons to other countries at the same time. It’s a different matter that countries like India, Pakistan and Israel have developed the nuclear bomb and North Korea may have done so.

“Non-Proliferation” is sheer bullshit without total nuclear disarmament! As long as the five self-proclaimed “nuclear powers” who have a “veto” in the United Nations Security Council do not want to give up the huge stockpiles of their disgusting weapons, other countries have every right to develop nuclear weapons to protect themselves from the countries that possess them! If humanity wants to prevent a repeat of the barbaric crimes that were perpetrated on the people of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, then all sensible people in the world must force the five self-declared “nuclear powers” along with any other country that possesses nukes to dismantle the stockpile of their filthy weapons completely. It’s these stockpiles that are a threat to world peace and security, and not the nonsense called “proliferation” that’s dished out by the “nuclear powers” to preserve their notorious hegemony in an unequal world. As long as the five self-proclaimed “global policemen” want to hang on to their filthy weapons, non-nuclear weapon states are well within their rights to nurture scientists like A Q Khan!

Speak the truth and get murdered; blatantly lie and get rewarded!

This is a post about two kinds of journalism under extremely different circumstances. First, a salute to several independent journalists who dared to speak the truth about one of the most evil, fascist, genocidal regimes in world history and have paid the price for it. Under an evil, barbaric, murderous regime that has crushed all norms of decency, democracy, human rights and civilised behaviour, several journalists have dared to uphold the norms of unbiased journalism, publishing the facts and questioning reports dished out by the war criminals running the government.

First, one of the greatest journalists in the world, Lasantha Wickramatunge, the editor of The Sunday Leader, who was always known for his unbiased journalism, one who dared to expose corruption and crimes of any regime in Sri Lanka. He was on the hit-list of the murderous Rajapaksa goons’ regime for some time. He paid the ultimate price, when he was attacked viciously and then shot dead as he was driving to work by a government death squad, similar to the ones that are used to butcher innocent Tamil civilians in many parts of Sri Lanka:

Image: www.dailymirror.lk

Lasantha was not just an honest journalist, but an extremely intelligent man. He knew his life was in danger for he had predicted his own death at the hands of a government death squad and had written an article and saved it on his computer, to be published after the the scum beings killed him. He puts the blame squarely on the Rajapaksa regime. Read the full article here. Here are some excerpts (emphasis added):

No other profession calls on its practitioners to lay down their lives for their art save the armed forces and, in Sri Lanka, journalism. In the course of the past few years, the independent media have increasingly come under attack. Electronic and print-media institutions have been burnt, bombed, sealed and coerced. Countless journalists have been harassed, threatened and killed. It has been my honour to belong to all those categories and now especially the last……We find ourselves in the midst of a civil war ruthlessly prosecuted by protagonists whose bloodlust knows no bounds. Terror, whether perpetrated by terrorists or the state, has become the order of the day. Indeed, murder has become the primary tool whereby the state seeks to control the organs of liberty. Today it is the journalists, tomorrow it will be the judges. For neither group have the risks ever been higher or the stakes lower……Why then do we do it? I often wonder that. After all, I too am a husband, and the father of three wonderful children. I too have responsibilities and obligations that transcend my profession, be it the law or journalism. Is it worth the risk? Many people tell me it is not……But there is a calling that is yet above high office, fame, lucre and security. It is the call of conscience.The Sunday Leader has been a controversial newspaper because we say it like we see it: whether it be a spade, a thief or a murderer, we call it by that name. We do not hide behind euphemism. The investigative articles we print are supported by documentary evidence thanks to the public-spiritedness of citizens who at great risk to themselves pass on this material to us. We have exposed scandal after scandal, and never once in these 15 years has anyone proved us wrong or successfully prosecuted us……Every newspaper has its angle, and we do not hide the fact that we have ours. Our commitment is to see Sri Lanka as a transparent, secular, liberal democracy…

…The Sunday Leader has never sought safety by unquestioningly articulating the majority view. Let’s face it, that is the way to sell newspapers. On the contrary, as our opinion pieces over the years amply demonstrate, we often voice ideas that many people find distasteful. For example, we have consistently espoused the view that while separatist terrorism must be eradicated, it is more important to address the root causes of terrorism, and urged government to view Sri Lanka’s ethnic strife in the context of history and not through the telescope of terrorism. We have also agitated against state terrorism in the so-called war against terror, and made no secret of our horror that Sri Lanka is the only country in the world routinely to bomb its own citizens. For these views we have been labelled traitors, and if this be treachery, we wear that label proudly……Neither should our distaste for the war be interpreted to mean that we support the Tigers. The LTTE are among the most ruthless and bloodthirsty organisations ever to have infested the planet. There is no gainsaying that it must be eradicated. But to do so by violating the rights of Tamil citizens, bombing and shooting them mercilessly, is not only wrong but shames the Sinhalese, whose claim to be custodians of the dhamma is forever called into question by this savagery, much of which is unknown to the public because of censorship.What is more, a military occupation of the country’s north and east will require the Tamil people of those regions to live eternally as second-class citizens, deprived of all self respect. Do not imagine that you can placate them by showering “development” and “reconstruction” on them in the post-war era. The wounds of war will scar them forever, and you will also have an even more bitter and hateful Diaspora to contend with. A problem amenable to a political solution will thus become a festering wound that will yield strife for all eternity. If I seem angry and frustrated, it is only because most of my countrymen – and all of the government – cannot see this writing so plainly on the wall.

It is well known that I was on two occasions brutally assaulted, while on another my house was sprayed with machine-gun fire. Despite the government’s sanctimonious assurances, there was never a serious police inquiry into the perpetrators of these attacks, and the attackers were never apprehended. In all these cases, I have reason to believe the attacks were inspired by the government. When finally I am killed, it will be the government that kills me.

The irony in this is that, unknown to most of the public, Mahinda and I have been friends for more than a quarter century…

…In the wake of my death I know you will make all the usual sanctimonious noises and call upon the police to hold a swift and thorough inquiry. But like all the inquiries you have ordered in the past, nothing will come of this one, too. For truth be told, we both know who will be behind my death, but dare not call his name. Not just my life, but yours too, depends on it.

Sadly, for all the dreams you had for our country in your younger days, in just three years you have reduced it to rubble. In the name of patriotism you have trampled on human rights, nurtured unbridled corruption and squandered public money like no other President before you. Indeed, your conduct has been like a small child suddenly let loose in a toyshop. That analogy is perhaps inapt because no child could have caused so much blood to be spilled on this land as you have, or trampled on the rights of its citizens as you do. Although you are now so drunk with power that you cannot see it, you will come to regret your sons having so rich an inheritance of blood. It can only bring tragedy. As for me, it is with a clear conscience that I go to meet my Maker. I wish, when your time finally comes, you could do the same. I wish.

As for me, I have the satisfaction of knowing that I walked tall and bowed to no man. And I have not travelled this journey alone. Fellow journalists in other branches of the media walked with me: most of them are now dead, imprisoned without trial or exiled in far-off lands. Others walk in the shadow of death that your Presidency has cast on the freedoms for which you once fought so hard. You will never be allowed to forget that my death took place under your watch. As anguished as I know you will be, I also know that you will have no choice but to protect my killers: you will see to it that the guilty one is never convicted. You have no choice. I feel sorry for you, and Shiranthi will have a long time to spend on her knees when next she goes for Confession for it is not just her owns sins which she must confess, but those of her extended family that keeps you in office.

As for the readers of The Sunday Leader, what can I say but Thank You for supporting our mission. We have espoused unpopular causes, stood up for those too feeble to stand up for themselves, locked horns with the high and mighty so swollen with power that they have forgotten their roots, exposed corruption and the waste of your hard-earned tax rupees, and made sure that whatever the propaganda of the day, you were allowed to hear a contrary view. For this I – and my family – have now paid the price that I have long known I will one day have to pay. I am – and have always been – ready for that. I have done nothing to prevent this outcome: no security, no precautions. I want my murderer to know that I am not a coward like he is, hiding behind human shields while condemning thousands of innocents to death. What am I among so many? It has long been written that my life would be taken, and by whom. All that remains to be written is when.

That The Sunday Leader will continue fighting the good fight, too, is written. For I did not fight this fight alone. Many more of us have to be – and will be – killed before The Leader is laid to rest. I hope my assassination will be seen not as a defeat of freedom but an inspiration for those who survive to step up their efforts. Indeed, I hope that it will help galvanise forces that will usher in a new era of human liberty in our beloved motherland. I also hope it will open the eyes of your President to the fact that however many are slaughtered in the name of patriotism, the human spirit will endure and flourish. Not all the Rajapakses combined can kill that…

If you remember nothing else, remember this: The Leader is there for you, be you Sinhalese, Tamil, Muslim, low-caste, homosexual, dissident or disabled. Its staff will fight on, unbowed and unafraid, with the courage to which you have become accustomed. Do not take that commitment for granted. Let there be no doubt that whatever sacrifices we journalists make, they are not made for our own glory or enrichment: they are made for you. Whether you deserve their sacrifice is another matter. As for me, God knows I tried.

Lasantha, in happier times…

Lasantha was not the first to be killed, nor will he be the last. Just a few days before this attack, MTV/MBC/ Sirasa the most popular television station in Sri Lanka that ran several television and radio channels in three languages (Sinhala, Tamil and English), was destroyed with explosives and by gunfire by one of those infamous “white van” death squads of the Sri Lankan government.

After Lasantha’s death, the editor of Rivira, a Sinhala weekly that was known for its neutral views, Upali Tennakoon and his wife were brutally assaulted by a gang of knife wielding scum on motorcycles. Both the editor and his wife suffered several knife cuts.

The injured editor of Rivira…

Today, Lal Hemantha Mawalage, news producer at state-run Television station, Rupavahini, has been admitted to the Colombo General Hospital after being attacked with machete and knives by unknown assailants at 11:30 p.m. Friday while walking in Athurugiriya in Colombo, sources in Colombo said. Mr Mawalage suffered injuries to both hands and body, according to his relatives. The attackers are suspected to be allied to non-cabinet Minister of Labour Mervin Silva who was involved in an altercation at Rupavahini on 26 December.

Informed sources said Minister Silva was irked by the actions of Mr Mawalage who had allegedly commended his fellow journalists at Rupavahini for helping to defend his news editor collegue, T.M.G Chandrasekara, when the Minister attacked him.

Lal Hemantha Athula Mawalage, in a serious condition…

If this is the fate of independent Sinhala journalists, then that of Tamil journalists, is worse. Not only do the Tamil journalists of the fascist state risk their lives, but they risk infinite detention without trial and torture.

Several of them have been murdered in cold blood, like Sivaram and Nadesan. Others like Tissainayagam are detained infinitely without trial under draconian laws and tortured.

Tissainayagam started news-website called OutreachSL.com using a grant from FLICT (Foundation for Local Initiatives in Conflict Transformation). FLICT is a Sri Lankan based grant making body funded by the international community (primarily the German government). FLICT funds civic and government initiatives including the government’s Peace Secretariat.

Tissainayagam apprehended by TID (Terrorist Investigation Department) and all staff of the website were apprehended by the TID. Since then, the fascist thugs have kept in detention and tortured him without being given a chance of trial.

The German ambassador, Juergen Weerth, had this to say at the funeral of Lasantha Wickrematunge…

“Today is a day when one remains speechless,” Weerth said at the funeral Monday. “Maybe we should have spoken before this. Today it is too late.”

“Today is a day when humanity has lost a major voice of truth. But he will live in his work,” AFP report said quoting the Ambassador.

Six former US ambassadors have expressed the same in a letter to the leader of the fascist regime.

Paris-based media watchdog Reporters Without Borders said Rajapakse’s government was directly to blame for the death of the editor as it had “incited hatred against him.”

Four more media personnel have been forced to flee Sri Lanka fearing for their lives. They are Sanath Balasuriya and Poddala Jayantha of Lake House, Sunanda Deshapriya and Uvindu Kurukulasuriya of the Free Media Movement. Last week Upul Joseph Fernando of the Lankadeepa, Rathnapala Gamage of Lankadeepa, and Chevan Daniel of MTV left the country. In addition, Iqbal Athas, Keith Noyahr, Namal Perera and Anuruddha Lokuhappuarachchi had already left the country.

Now, to the second part of this post. I do not want to demean or dishonour the honest, sincere, persons who have laid down their lives in defence of the ethics and principles of journalism in a banana republic ruled by fascist, genocidal thugs, by posting something about a person who is paid by the fascist regime to act as its mouthpiece in a neighbouring country where the press are supposed to be “free”. Free, as in free to take huge amounts of money and receive a few “awards” from the fascist goons. Of course, it’s the infamous sewer jounalist of Chennai, Mr. N. Ram, the editor-in-chief of The Hindu, and his bunch of liars, who have been publishing “news” about the genocide in Sri Lanka by faithfully reproducing every single word that the war criminals have been dishing out to him. For this toilet paper, there are no civilians killed in this genocide, when the fact is that hundreds are being killed everyday in “safe zones”, hospitals and ambulances being bombed from the air and with artillery and multi-barrel rocket launchers. For these filthy scum journalists, there is no attack on the media when it is a fact that tens of journalists have been murdered and assaulted and the fact that Sri Lanka is the second most deadly place for journalists in the entire world. All because of this:

The sewer journalist N. Ram receiving an “honour” from the fascist regime…

This vile liar has received the same award from the murderer-in-chief of the current genocidal regime as well as an award by a government run body that praised “his service to journalism in Asia”. There exists no word in the English language or any language in the world, to describe a “journalist” who is awarded for “journalism” by a fascist, genocidal regime that ranks 165th out of 173 countries in Press Freedom and the country where the second largest number of journalists are brutally murdered or maimed for doing their work.

Journalists who dare to speak the truth get murdered but sewer journalists who blatantly lie get rewarded. These are the sad facts about journalism in Sri Lanka.

A genocide most foul!

It’s time to act, Chief Minister!

The Tamil Nadu Assembly has passed a resolution, a “final appeal” in fact, to the central government to halt the genocidal violence in Sri Lanka and find a peaceful solution to the conflict by means of talks.

This is the third such resolution. The first two had fallen on stone deaf ears. The wording of the resolution is unnecessarily polite, by making an “appeal”. Instead, it should have been an ultimatum and it should have been made clear in no uncertain terms. The UPA government at the centre has been playing the fool in this genocidal carnage all along, paying lip service about the civilians trapped in the conflict, yet providing covert assistance by means of providing arms and training to the fascist genocidal regime in the island nation.

Another person who has been playing the fool by trying to hoodwink his people is the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, Mr. M. Karunanidhi. Having threatened to ask all the Members of Parliament from Tamil Nadu to resign en masse if the centre does not act, he inexplicably withdrew his threat despite no change in the stand of the UPA government. The Chief Minister needs to make it clear in no uncertain terms that the MPs of Tamil Nadu cannot be a part of a government that abets the genocidal Rajapaksa regime in Sri Lanka. Even if one discounts the seven Congress MPs from Tamil Nadu in the Lower House, the resignation of the remaining thirty three or withdrawal of support to the UPA regime would mean that the government would collapse. It may not mean much since general elections are due later this year, but this is not a question of elections and politics. It’s much, much more important than that.

Hundreds of thousands of people are in danger of being wiped out by the Sinhala war criminals and there is the danger of millions of Tamils being ethnically cleansed from the island by the Sinhala fascist thugs who have made a mockery of democracy and civilised behaviour. Former US diplomats feel the same about democracy in the island. After the destruction of a television station and the brutal murder of the fearless editor Lasantha Wickramatunga by a government sponsored death squad, the editor of a Sinhala weekly Rivira and his wife were severely assaulted. Following this, seven respected senior journalists have fled Sri Lanka, fearing for their lives from government death squads. If this is the fate of Sinhala journalists, the plight of Tamil civilians in the country can only be imagined. Of course, the filthy sewer journalist, Mr. N. Ram of The Hindu, can be proud of the award that he received from his paymasters in a regime that has butchered journalists and made them flee for their lives.

The Eelam Tamil diaspora around the world is waging a heroic struggle to bring the the genocide to the attention of the world:

(If the video does not load, you can watch it here.)

The Malaysian Indian community has expressed its outrage at the genocide and the hypocrisy of the Indian government in calling for a ceasefire in Gaza while aiding the genocide in Sri Lanka.

As for the people of Tamil Nadu, they made their anger very clear in the massive human chain organised in pouring rain:

(If the video does not load, you can watch it here.)

Actors and lawyers have already expressed their outrage at the continuing violence against innocent civilians. Students have joined the protest by boycotting classes and expressing solidarity:

The main placard reads: We are with you forever.

The German Foreign Minister, Frank-Walter Steinmeier, has called for a ceasefire and humanitarian aid for the affected civilians. A Catholic priest has written to the United Nations Secretary General, describing the plight of innocent people trapped in the genocide zone:

The letter of the Rev Father Pathinathar to the Secretary General of the United Nations:

The Agonising Cry of the People of Wanni, Sri-Lanka

We the Roman Catholic Priests and Religious serving the people in Wanni, the theatre of on-going vicious battles, make the following ardent and urgent appeal.

1. The “uncleared” area of Wanni which consisted of Killinochchi, Mullaitivu, parts of Mannar, parts of Jaffna and parts of Vavuniya districts has now shrunken to parts of the Mullaitivu district alone, as a result of the on-going military operations carried out by the
Sri Lankan security forces against the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE)

2. About 491,000 people from the above-mentioned districts are now forced to live in the shrunken Mullaitivu district alone. Day after day, displacements continue unabated, as a result of the aggressive artillery poundings and aerial bombardments in and around civilian
settlements.

3. In these indiscriminate attacks, babies in mothers’ wombs, infants, children, women and men, young and old are killed and maimed and wounded everyday. Even schools, hospitals, places of worship, civilian settlements etc., the security and safety of which are guaranteed in the Geneva Convention on the Conduct of War, are not spared in this aggressive war.

4. The merciless Economic Embargo imposed on Wanni and the Eviction of the INGOs worsen the predicament of the innocent civilians. A shortage in fuel, food supply, medicines, shelter materials and drinking water weigh heavily upon an already beleaguered people.

5. As the geographical territory occupied by the people keep on shrinking daily, it is becoming almost impossible for the people even to move towards “safer” areas, away from the battle fields. A GREAT HUMAN TRAGEDY HAS EXPLODED IN WANNI. Such a gruesome experience is unprecedented in the recent history of these people.

6. In times of war, the parties to the conflict, particularly the Government which is a signatory to the Geneva Convention on the conduct of war has the bounden duty to uphold the Convention. The safety and security and human dignity of the innocent civilians cannot and should not be trampled upon by anyone, particularly by the Government, waging a war.

7. What is at the root of this on going war is the STRUCTURAL INJUSTICE, a vehement denial of EQUALITY and DIGNITY of the Sri Lankan Tamils, perpetrated by the successive Sinhala dominated Governments of Sri Lanka for decades.

8. Therefore, we earnestly urge Your Excellency to take immediate action to stop this senseless war and put an end to the untold sufferings of the innocent civilians in Wanni whose life has become a real struggle for survival. And kindly take the necessary steps to bring the parties to the conflict to the negotiating table in order to find a humane and just and lasting political solution to the ethnic conflict in Sri Lanka.

Signed Rev Fr. James Pathinathar,
On behalf of the Priests and Religious of Wanni

It should be clear to the Chief Minister that the actions of the Indian government are impeding a ceasefire in Sri Lanka and playing a passive role in the genocide. This is not the time for politics. The people of Tamil Nadu cannot be fooled by any drama. The Prime Minister’s health should not and cannot be an excuse for inaction. While they wish Dr. Manmohan Singh well and hope he recovers quickly, there is a humanitarian catastrophe taking place a few kilometres from their shores. Mr. Karunanidhi should not worrying about staying in power. The people of Tamil Nadu are seething in anger. From the elected representatives of the people of Tamil Nadu, the message to the central government should be loud and clear:

The Tamils of Sri Lanka are facing genocide…the small Eelam Tamil diaspora is waging a heroic struggle to highlight the plight of people in the genocide zone…the people of Tamil Nadu shall not let their brethren feel orphaned…they cannot be mute spectators when a rogue fascist regime is annihilating their brothers and sisters…and their representatives should be prepared for anything…the time to act is NOW…before it’s bloody too late!!!

Even as I type this, a rogue regime is committing genocide against its own people with the full knowledge and assistance of world governments. The Sinhala fascist pseudo-Buddhist thugs in the Sri Lankan government are systematically butchering the Tamil civilians in the genocide zone in the Vanni region in North-East Sri Lanka with artillery fire, multi-barrel rocket launchers and indiscriminate aerial bombardment of civilian areas by using the banned cluster bombs.

A genocide in which no one is spared…the Chencholai massacre in which 61 schoolgirls were killed…heinous incidents like these are all too common in the ongoing genocide in the Island of Terror…

The rogue Sinhala regime of Sri Lanka led by the genocidal maniacs – the Rajapakse brothers and the war criminal Sarath Fonseka have unleashed a state sponsored terror campaign in the name of fighting the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) rebels. The LTTE is fighting a conventional and guerrilla war for an independent Tamil homeland in the North-East of Sri Lanka due to decades of state sponsored massacres, pogroms, mass murders, abductions, rapes, torture and other inhuman atrocities heaped on the Tamil civilians who have been denied their legitimate rights by successive Sinhala governments that have carried out a systematic program of ethnic cleansing in the areas inhabited by minorities – Tamils and Muslims. These crimes were taking place long before the LTTE even came into existence.

The Sinhala fascist criminals have successfully hoodwinked the world that they are fighting a so-called “war on terror” against the LTTE that is banned in several countries. It’s neither a war nor an anti-terrorist operation by any stretch of the imagination. It’s systematic, programmed genocide and nothing less. Read this post and this one to find out more. The fascist regime is determined not to find a political solution to the problem by means of talks. The criminals running the government in Colombo are not even prepared to devolve minimum powers to democratically elected provincial councils, let alone autonomy or a federal solution. Instead, they have vile designs of ethnically cleansing the areas inhabited by minorities for millenia and settling people from outside by driving out the minority communities from their own homelands and ruthlessly killing, starving, abducting, torturing and murdering them.

The rogue regime does not even spare hospitals, orphanages and aid workers. No reporters or humanitarian workers are allowed anywhere near the genocide zone. Instead, it has paid huge amounts of money by means of advertisements and bestowing “awards” upon gutter journalists like N. Ram of The Hindu and his coterie of vile liars who act as the mouthpiece of the genocidal regime just as they act as the mouthpiece of the genocidal regimes in Sudan, Zimbabwe, Myanmar and the Chinese Communist Pigs. The scoundrels running the toilet paper of Chennai have even gone to the extent of questioning the human rights of civilians. The shameless international media does not care to present the truth or verify the facts before publishing handouts given by the murderers.

Honest journalists who dare to protest the mass killings of civilians are slaughtered by means of government death squads, just like lawyers who defend falsely accused persons and scores of innocent civilians. The greatest journalist in all of South Asia and indeed, one of the most fearless journalists in the world, Lasantha Wickramatunge, the editor of The Sunday Leader who happens to be a Sinhala Buddhist, was gruesomely murdered by government hired scum beings recently. In a final act of courageous and selfless journalism, the editor spoke from his grave and predicted his own murder by the genocidal government (Read this moving posthumous editorial, a piece of golden journalism). Just days earlier, a television station, MTV/MBC, that courageously resisted broadcasting the lies of the rogue regime was ransacked and completely destroyed. All this happened immediately after the murderer-in-chief of the rogue Sinhala fascist pseudo-Buddhist state, Mahinda Rajapaksa, took direct control of the media ministry. Sri Lanka is ranked 165 in a list of 173 countries by Reporters sans Frontières (Reporters without Borders) in terms of Press Freedom and the safety of journalists.

Sri Lanka is also listed as a genocide ‘hotspot’, one of eight countries in the world where genocide is happening or is about to happen, by noble organisations who work to prevent genocide.

Well, the genocide is already under way. A helpless, severely persecuted minority is being annihilated with the help of world governments who make strange bedfellows in this genocide. The murderous Zionist regime sells fighter jets and cluster munitions to the Sinhala war criminals. The largest donor of financial aid to the fascist regime is the thuggish theocracy in Iran. The pilots of the fascist regime are trained to bomb civilians by its close defence partner and comrade-in-arms, Pakistan. The majority of the ammunition of the genocidal regime is supplied by the CCP criminals in China. The scoundrels controlling the Indian government’s policy chip in with tremendous covert assistance and provide arms and training to the genocidal regime to annihilate the minorities despite massive protests by its own people and a unanimous, democratic resolution to end the conflict by finding a peaceful, political solution. The governments of the West play a passive role in all this by paying lip service to the safety of civilians and at the same time, collaborating with the war criminals running the military.

The Sinhala army is one of the most cowardly, indisciplined forces in the whole world. Even among the filthy armies that use rape as a part of war strategy, the Sinhala thugs are the worst. They were thrown out of a U.N. peacekeeping mission in Haiti because of the presence of numerous cowardly rapists in their ranks. In an environment where they have complete immunity from war crimes, the heinous crimes they commit against the helpless civilians can only be imagined.

The barbaric Sinhala fascist pseudo-Buddhist thugs have just bombed a civilian hospital in a declared “safe zone” to smithereens and butchered hundreds of people and wounded thousands in a matter of days in the genocide zone. If the world and the United Nations do not act now to prevent the ongoing genocide, the power brokers, wheeler dealers, politicians and bureaucrats would be guilty of abetting genocide. In a world that cannot bring the real terrorists hiding in mountainous caves in the Pak-Afghan border to book, the term “war on terror” is misused by filthy scoundrels to carry out genocide with the full backing and knowledge of world governments and the United Nations. The criminals who commit genocide as well as those who aid and abet these heinous crimes against humanity shall not get away with it! Some way or the other, they shall get their comeuppance in the days to come! The mightiest empires in world history have collapsed like a pack of cards and descended into anarchy in the months and years following almost every known genocide. The filthy empires, wannabe empires, murderous states and regimes that play a role in this heinous genocide against a severely oppressed people shall face a similar fate, if not worse!!!

Anti-Israel protests erupt around the world

As opposed to the shamefully weak reactions from world governments and the United Nations to the massacre in Gaza, what is heartening is that citizens from around the world, ordinary Earthlings, have expressed their shock and anger at the massacre perpetrated by the murderous Zionist state backed by the killer Bush regime.

Huge anti-Israel rallies have been organised in the U.S., the chief collaborator in the murders taking place in the Middle-East. In massive marches against the massacre in Gaza, protestors shouted slogans like “Free Free Palestine”, “Stop the massacre in Gaza”, “End the occupation of Palestine”, “Long Live Gaza” and “Not another nickel, not another dime; No more money for Israel’s crime”:

In addition to the Islamic world, protests have taken place from Argentina to Canada, from Japan to India and from Greece to Iceland, all across Europe:

I found this protest by Jews who are opposed to the crimes of the Zionist state very heartening:

Shame on Israel! Shame on the American government and other governments across the world that passively take part in this massacre by failing to stop it! Shame on the worthless United Nations! Shame on the Mubarak regime in Egypt that keeps the border with Gaza closed! And shame on all the vile, barbaric sadists who gleefully support state terrorism! Terrorism is the child of state terrorism and oppression. As long as state terrorism and oppression exist in this world, terrorism will continue to grow by leaps and bounds. What goes around comes around and those who unleash violence and oppression will have to face the effects of their own actions for generations to come.
