Your wasting your time - nobody here lives there any more. This place

  Talking Peace but Training Terrorists         


Author: Erickassonfire
Date: Dec 26, 2008 06:37

The world is in unison that the scrooge of terror must end. Whether
these attacks are aimed at innocent people, VIPs, world leaders or
economic infrastructure becomes immaterial and we must unite to
condemn these attacks. The more we wonder how the menace of terror has
become invisible we need to factually take into account the sources
and links that have directly or indirectly pumped life into these
monsters and their terror cells and establishments. The answers to
these will provide the reasons why terror still remains over and above
the calls for the elimination of terrorism from the world.

How do these terrorists operate – from where do they get the money to
buy weapons and ammunition – how do they escape international and
local detection - how are they able to transport these items to
various destinations – who trains these men and women and even
children and where are these training bases – why are they not
revealed to the international public? Do they have links to a
country’s intelligence services, which are the countries that profit
from the arms trade and how much of these are provided to terrorists
and why?

These are some of the questions that will answer why terrorism still
exists. Of the oft quoted examples we are aware that money is raised
from extortion, drug trafficking, foreign supporters, money
laundering...

  Boosting terrorism to defend 'democracy'         


Author: Erickassonfire
Date: Dec 25, 2008 20:15

What should be the primary objective of an agreement between the radio
broadcasting services of two countries on the matter of news and other
programs? Undoubtedly it is to introduce the culture, language,
religion, politics and other relevant subjects of one country to the
listeners of the other. In fact this was the basis on which the BBC
Sinhala Service, Sandeshaya, was launched in the post-World War II
years.

In that pre-Internet era people of my generation, who were then school
children, eagerly listened to Sandeshaya to learn about people and
events in the United Kingdom and the rest of Europe. BBC was then
still basking in the glory of having strengthened the spirit of
freedom and democracy through its broadcasts to Nazi and Fascist-
occupied Europe during the world war. In that era listeners would not
have imagined even in their wildest dreams that decades later the very
same BBC would help to promote the agendas of a banned Fascist
terrorist outfit (the LTTE) in UK's democratic society.

In the words of Sri Lanka Broadcasting Corporation Chairman Hudson
Samarasinghe:

  Why The BBC Is A Greater Enigma To Sri Lanka's War Against Terrorism Than Prabhakaran And The LTTE.         


Author: Ronnie
Date: Dec 25, 2008 20:05

A news story posted in the Asian Tribune website refering to BBC bias
towards LTTE - states that "yesterday the BBC's bosses - persuaded by
LTTE proxies – have taken upon themselves the burden of imposing their
version of democracy and freedom of expression on Sri Lanka by making
us listen to whom the majority here treat as vermin. The news report
states that all went topsy-turvy when LTTE sympathizers hijacked
Sandeshaya and the BBC Tamil Services with the outbreak of the Tiger
insurgency. The report states that the whole job of the BBC Sinhala
and Tamil Service clowns today is not to educate and entertain the non-
English speaking audiences about Europe but to recycle Sri Lanka's
political garbage and send them back to us. SLBC Chairman Hudson
Samarasinghe points out that the BBC's obvious partiality to the LTTE
has been further reflected in its Tamil Service broadcasting the
deplorable anti-Sri Lankan comments that Tiger proxy Tamil National
Alliance MP Sivajilingam had made in India. He further observed that
the LTTE is a banned terrorist organization in UK and BBC is that
country's national broadcaster. Yet it airs a despotic mass murderer's
speech commemorating his organization's suicide bombers." So is this
not cause enough to confront the BBC and make them rescind their
attitude towards the realities of what is taking place in Sri Lanka as ...

All the world is, or soon will be, an economic wasteland, including the fair
deserts of Oz.
We are deep in the doo, all of your rosy comments to the contrary.

I checked it out. Oz is 8th in the list of donor nations!!!
Got to admit I'm amazed at that - I honestly thought they would be way down
the bottom with you guys somewhere.
