SF Fans! Stop Acting Like Clowns and Respect Democracy..

It was so hard for we Sri Lankans to believe that we lost the cricket world cup final 2007 to Australia. It was shocking! We whole heartedly backed up our boys, and we were damn confident that our guys deserved the cup and we must crush the Aussies. But then? We lost!! We lost big!! What did we do? We blamed the toss, blamed the rain, blamed Gilly's squash ball, blamed the umpires, blamed individual players. Did we stop at blaming? No. We speculated! We speculated that ICC will eventually rule Gilly's squash ball was illegal, and a re-play of the match will take place. We as a nation was shocked by that defeat; because we were soooooooooooo close to be crowned as the world champions of cricket.

But for rest of the world?

It was a one horse race from the begining. Aussies were having the best of odds to win the cup from day one, and we were just the underdogs. When Aussies won the cup, for rest of the world it was not a surprise. Because they knew that the most likely outcome of the match, and if Sri Lanka won; that would have been the upset.

Can't you relate the same thing happening with this whole drama of "post-election rumours"??

To all SF supporters!

Grow up and stop complaining! Accept your defeat, and respect democracy. If you know the basics of democracy, you wouldn't say 57% of Sri Lankans are idiots, simply because they voted the candidate you dislike. Sarath Fonseka is comprehensively rejected by a 57% majority of the people in this country. Almost all the election monitring bodies admit that there had not been any mass scale election violance this time. If we discount 5% (very generously) for abusing state media, state proerty, hora chanda here and there, and all the small incidents took place; still it is a 52% majority which is "democratic enough" to appoint Mahinda as the president.

Relax! Have a good sleep. Wake up. Start getting back to your daily life. If the decision of 57% of people is correct or not; we will debate in another 2 years may be. But now, what has happened has happened. Get it sound! Your candidate has lost. El - Oooo - Ess - Teee LOST!

What SF would have done is show the country that he is a real gentleman by accepting the result, blaming Mahinda for abusing state powers to win election, and then swearing to come back stronger in the general election. Instead he started acting like a circus clown in Cinamon Lakeside. All these "assasination attempts" are crap!

JVP must appologise the country for bringing this clown to politics. This cheater did not even have a registered vote in Sri Lanka and he kept on cheating the people until 3.30pm on the election day saying that "I will vote in another one hour".

All UNP supporters! You have a great party with good people. Start rebuilding your party and come back strong in next election. Kick out Mangala, Mano and Hakeem. Those are the idiots who ruined your campaign. Let Sajith to lead from front. Give more room for Dayasiri to speak. They are the future of your party! Don't let JVP parasites to kill you more!

If Fonseka Wins on 26th...

If by a longest of a shot SF wins on Tuesday's election, what's the message our people communicate to us?
CBK failed to end the war in her first term, she didn't do any mega development projects, she had corrupted ministers and family friends in her administration, but yet our people voted her for a second term. Mahinda finished the war in his first term, started and completed several mega development projects, and saved Sri Lanka from global economic crisis. He may have had some corrupted people in his government. But if, he is not voted for a second term for the sole reason of alleged corruption charges, the message we are giving is "Don't waste your time on solving problems, or doing mega development projects. Just earn as much as you can like CBK did, and happily go home. Because, you are not guaranteed to win elections, no matter how much good you do to the people"
After all, why you should burn your ass when people only worry about their tummy? Give/promise them something to eat today, and they will vote you tomorrow!
Hmmm... If Fonseka Wins, i will most probably delete this blog the day after! Cuz, he's going to get revenge from everyone who talked against him during last few weeks. I don't want to risk my life just for a blog! Happy voting! You may or may not see this blog on 27th. Don't gamble your vote for Simple Fun!
Cheers. VIC out!

When Mahinda Wins on 27th..

Tissa Attanayake, Anura Dissanayake and Mangala Samaraweera will hold a press conference and tell the country..
1) Election was corrupted and most of their supporters were not allowed to vote. (They won't admit that their supporters are now voting Mahinda)
2) State Media influenced the public opinion. (They will forget that they earlier told no body believes State Media now)
3) Even though Mahinda won, his percentage is less than the aggregated percentage of provincial council elections. (They will forget that they have still lost again, and their own claims that people vote different in national elections)
3) And they will challenge, "Puluwannam maha mathiwaranayakata enna!"
Such a bunch of losers!

So You Have Decided to Vote Sarath Fonseka? Read This To the End, and then Vote!

So you have decided to vote Sarath Fonseka, haven’t you? It’s all right. I understand. I am not here to sling mud at Sarath Fonseka. I will never ask or beg you to vote Mahinda. You don’t have to. I just want you to read this to the end. I respect Sarath Fonseka, as much as you do. In fact I personally want to vote him, but I can’t. I’ll tell you why. Please read till the end. You have decided to vote Sarath Fonseka for one of these three reasons

1) You are voting Sarath Fonseka simply because your parents keep voting UNP for last 50 years, and you are also inherently a UNP supporter.

2) Or, you are voting Sarath Fonseka because you believe in JVP politics, and your leader Somawansa Amarasinghe wants you to vote Sarath Fonseka this time.

3) If not for these two reasons, you are voting Sarath Fonseka simply because you personally feels that’s the right thing to do. You are not influenced by either the UNP or the JVP

For what ever the reason you are voting Sarath Fonseka, you have already created mental justifications for your decision. It’s the human nature. Once you make a decision, you tend to rationalize your decision. Let me guess some of your rationalizations and ask you few questions back. You have to give answers to your own self, for these questions.

1. Sarath Fonseka was the true leader of our war victory against LTTE. He would have done it even without Mahinda as the president.

Can he? Is SF the sole contributor to the war victory? For sure, Mahinda wasn’t the “sole contributor”. But, Mahinda was the “leader” who managed all aspects of this war; not just a one frontier. The military war in the air (with Roshan Gunathilake), military war in the sea (with Karannagoda) and the military war on land (with Fonseka). How about the political war? Keeping the pressure put by opposition and international community away from the military leaders? Did Sarath Fonseka played any role in these other aspects, than the military war on the ground? Ask from your own common sense. Don’t let your political biasness to fool you.

2. Ok, war victory was just a one thing which Mahinda did right. Did he do anything else for this country? Just take a look at these pictures, and ask from your own common sense whether these were not important to you. Don’t let your political biasness to fool you. Simply question your common sense.

3. Mahinda didn’t do anything for the business sector. Ok, if you believe in this as a reason for voting SF, tell me what you are expecting SF to do good for the business community? What guarantee you have? Remember his economic policy is going to be influenced both by UNP and JVP. Can you expect any “positive sum” in a combination of JVP and UNP economic policies? Isn’t ending the war itself is a good thing done for the business community? Isn’t building the roads a good thing for business?

4. Mahinda taxed the country a lot. Without taxing a country, how can you provide free education, free healthcare, more super highways, more flyovers, ending a 30 year old war? Are you expecting under SF he will remove all these taxes? Then how can he continue to provide us free education, free healthcare, and continue the development projects?

Lord Buddha said, “those who always find faults with others on minor concerns, despite the larger achievements they have made; will always keep on burning inside by their own flames of selfishness”. Stop being selfish. Open your mind. Put away your political jealousy. Think about the truth standing right in front of your eyes. The truth is, Mahinda did a great deal of good to this country which JR, Premadasa or Chandrika failed to do. Do you want to turn this country back by handing it over to a person who doesn’t even know how to speak to another human being? A person who get aggravated so quickly?

Tell me…. Are you ready to vote for a man who is spreading hatred on every stage that he speaks? Are you ready to vote for a person who has already threatening to get revenge the people talking against him? If you are the type of “100% media freedom”; are you ready to vote for a man who threatens the press people to resign from their jobs, even before he get elected as president? Can you expect press freedom from such a man?

I respect SF as a military commander. But I don’t want this country to be ruled by an angry totalitarian dictator, who get aggravated easily with a small provocation. I don’t want to see this country to be ruled by a person who doesn’t know the meaning of the word “patience”, “forgiveness”. I don’t want to see this country be ruled by a person who’s surrounded by people who are willing to kill people, even before their leader gets appointed as president (Just imagine the fate of MR supporters on 27th, if SF gets elected).

I know that you hate Mahinda. I don’t want you to love him. Keep hating him. But don’t cut your nose simply because you hate your face!

If you still want to vote Sarath Fonseka and see this country get ruined, please go ahead and vote him! But if you have a slightest of common sense left with you, and if you are not looking at the world with political colored glasses; see the danger ahead of us. Don't just vote Sarath Fonseka, because that you hate Mahinda. This is not about hating Mahinda. This about the future of this country. Don't play with it. DON’T VOTE SARATH FONSEKA FOR THE SAKE OF THIS COUNTRY!

Just cancel your vote, if you don't like Mahinda!

If you see the danger I am showing you; please pass this message to all people whom you think that care. Simply copy and paste this to an email and send to your contacts. Republish this on forums. Print this and spread! What ever that you can do to open the eyes of politically blinded people of this country...

VIDEO: Muzzamil being given Rs. 30 million by Sarath Fonseka Campaign

I am yet to see this type of videos or other sources showing MR campaign handing money to SB or Jhonston despite the allegations by SF camp. I'm yet to see any source documents to prove any of those romours about "Basil bought this, Gota bought that".

Tilvin Silva Promises to Bring Pabha Back, when Fonseka Becomes the President

The latest election promise from Fonseka camp is "bringing Pabha back" on ITN. Tilvin Silva speaking in a recent election rally appealed the fans of popular tele-drama "Pabha" on ITN to vote Fonseka on 26th Jan, and from 27th Jan onwards "Pabha will be back on!". This makes history as the first time a presidential campaign promise changing the scripts of tele-dramas :-D

This country waits for Pabha to be back! The most critical problem we have in front of our nation!!!

What to Expect in Today’s (Most Awaited) “Rathu Ira” Program on Swarnavahini? (A Preview)

Much awaited Rathu Ira debate on Swarnavahini will be aired live today from 9.30pm onwards. This program was mentioned in a parliamentary debate, and mentioned in the news casts of several other TV channels as well. This is the debate which Wimal Weerawansa challenged the opposition common candidate Sarath Fonseka, and declined by SF claiming “I’m not ready to debate with ‘katu kana ewun’”. Then this challenge made by Mahinda’s “katu kana balla” was accepted by a “katu kana balla” in Fonseka’s camp. (That’s fair, isn’t it?).

So the ultimate debate will be held between Wimal Weerawansa representing the MR camp, and Dayasiri Jayasekera representing the SF side. The core topic for the program would be “Arm Deals by Sarath Fonseka’s Son in Law”. However, none of these people confirmed their personal participation to the program. So, we still have a chance a totally two different people coming to the program and debating a totally irrelevant topic.

I have gained some information on how the Sarath Fonseka camp is preparing for this debate. They are going to approach with a strategy of attacking Wimal Weerawansa on a personal level, and not answering any of the allegations against Sarath Fonseka. They are gathering all the information about Wimal Weerawansa’s misconducts, both as a close friend of Mahinda Rajapakshe and as a JVP MP few years ago. Throughout the program, Dayasiri Jayasekera will throw allegations against Wimal Weerawansa in a personal level, instead of debating nationally concerned matters. This was the same approach taken by Sujeewa Senasinghe against Hemakumara Nanayakkara, and Ranjan Ramanayake against Mervin Silva. They are believing “attacking the government’s representative to the program at a personal level is the best method to control them”.

Two of the employees of a leading pro-Sarath Fonseka website were planning the whole of the script for today’s program. Actually, the people at this website is going to help Dayasiri Jayasekera for collecting as much as mud against Wimal Weerawansa. These two people were talking on phone to another person at Sarath Fonseka’s office to coordinate the mission (a person with the same first name as a popular army officer killed in a suicide bomb in Colombo, few years ago). As per their conversation, they are going to take few photographs of Wimal Weerawansa’s house being built in Colombo, alone with a sketch plan for another luxury house (not the plan of Weerawansa’s house) with Wimal’s name printed on it. Then these photographs will be published on their website during the day, and Dayasiri Jayasekera is going to take the website as a source to prove Wimal Weerawansa’s 4 billion worth house.

All in all, we can expect Dayasiri Jayasekera coming for the program with a hell of a lot of files filled with personal allegations against Wimal Weerawansa. From the minute 1 of the program, Dayasiri will start attacking Wimal Weerawansa, instead of responding to Wimal’s allegations against Sarath Fonseka.

Few hours more to go for the program, and let’s see what’s going to happen!!!

Fonseka Steals Obama's Campaign Slogan!

"Vishvasaneeya Wenasak" is the campaign slogan and the title for Sarath Fonseka's election manifesto. Now, translate this into English!!!


It is sad how pathetic the SF campaign is. They don't have anything else to say on stage, other than Rajapakshe family corruption. And, for that topic also they don't have any proof. They take their own "Kata Katha Hamudawa" as the source of these allegations. (Paid Rs.2000/- per spreading one rumor such as "Basil bought Swarnawahini" etc. Lanka eNews and LankaNewsWeb are paid even better). They can't say "this government use the war as a beggar's wound". They can't say "this government couldn't do anything to improve transport system". (Instead SF is complaining about click towers).

Let's talk about some of the allegations. "Basil bought Swarnawahini". The program director of Swarnawahini categorically rejected this allegation in several Rathu Ira programs. None of the UNP participants to the program, challenged that. "Appolo is bought by Gota". In fact, Appolo is a subsidiary of Sri Lanka Insuarance, which is a government entity now. So, in effect Appolo is owned by the government and the government can appoint the CEO of Appolo, through SLIC. Gota being a government official, have the legal right to be appointed there. When the governments change, new government can appoint a new CEO to Appolo.


A friend of mine working closely with Mangala Samaraweera revealed a nice story. In a private gathering of friends in Matara, Mangala has said "What ever we say on stage, Mahinda is the greatest state leader we ever had". This is what Managala and all say inside! I know, a majority of JVP leaders believes this too. But their "ego" prevents them admitting this truth publicly.

Sarath Fonseka has already said he is going to give "enough bones" to the country, once he is elected as president. Can you imagine the hidden meaning of this statement? He has further said, he will take "action" within 24 hours of his appointment as president, against all journalist who went against him during the run up to the election. If these are "legal actions" why can't he take them now? We have to assume SF is planning to ensure "media freedom" the Premadasa way!
