Isaac Falconer is a pseudonym in the spirit of George Eliot (Mary Ann / Marian / Evans) and Isak Dinesen (Karen Christentze von Blixen-Finecke) merely TWO of a myriad giants on whose (proverbial) shoulders I stand.

Isaac: Hebrew, meaning laughter ~ deeply ironic when taken in the context of current and historic Arab-Israeli conflict in the Middle East. 
[As in the Nazis~NOT THE PALESTINIANS~exterminated Jews in Europe during WWII~NOTHING WHATSOEVER to do with Palestine~or with the Palestinian people~and as a "tragic result" the Palestinian people have been forced into a desperate homelessness and utter destitution and state-lessness for more than SIX DECADES.]

Falconer: taken from the William Butler Yeats poem, "The Second Coming" (1921): "Turning and turning in the widening gyre, the falcon cannot hear the falconer . . ." ~ an Irish poet's deep lament for the fragmented human relationships which mar post-modern life.

All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good [women and] men do nothing. ~Edmund Burke [perhaps a mistaken attribution~but nonetheless an often-REPEATED attribution to Edmund Burke]

Historically, and into the present day [in 2012] Tamils are a viciously persecuted minority ethnic population in Sri Lanka~in the identical way that Jews were persecuted in Europe~in Medieval times~because the "majority" Sinhala population of Sri Lanka~acting in carefully choreographed concert WITH certain members of the dark-skinned ethnic minority Tamil population of Sri Lanka~believe themselves to be members of an "Aryan Master Race"~like Hitler's Nazi "Aryan Master Race"~and therefore feel "perfectly and naturally entitled" to the fascist subjugation of "minority Tamils"~in every sense of the word "subjugate"~including committing the crime against humanity that is genocide.  Since 1949 [Nineteen Forty-Nine] Sri Lankan Tamils have faced genocide.  Between May 18th and December 1st, 2009~1,400 unarmed civilian Tamils were dying each week~at the concentration camps at Manik Farm~controlled by the totalitarian Sri Lankan government of Mahinda Rajapakse. 

Even though approximately 130,000 unarmed Tamil civilians~[since this number "130,000" is a neo-Nazi fascist totalitarian Sinhala government-generated number~with NO INDEPENDENT VERIFICATION or access~it most probably IS a complete, typical, and habitual fabrication by the totalitarian fascist Sri Lankan government]

On "the one hand":  Approximately 3,500 Syrian citizens have been murdered [This number has tragically INCREASED to 6,000+ in 2012]
BY THEIR OWN totalitarian Assad-regime and admirably, honourably and displaying the most ELEVATED ethical standards EU Foreign Ministers have been speaking out in force~stating on October 10th, 2011~as reported by CNN~that:  Syria's President Bashar al-Assad "must step aside," European Union foreign ministers said in a blistering statement Monday, adding the Syrian government's crackdown on anti-government protesters may amount to crimes against humanity.

These *same* "admirable" "compassionate" "international law-abiding" "ethical" and "HONOURABLE"~world leaders of the US, UK, France, Germany and the broader EU umbrella~
have utterly *FAILED*~TWO-AND-A-HALF WHOLE CALENDAR YEARS AFTER THE 2009 GENOCIDE OF TAMILS IN SRI LANKA~to call for the *IMMEDIATE* stepping down of Sri Lanka's nakedly genocidal neo-Nazi Sinhala fascist totalitarian dictator Mahinda Rajapakse~and for the IMMEDIATE commencement of INTERNATIONALLY CREDIBLE WAR CRIMES INVESTIGATIONS at the International Criminal Court in The Hague, The Netherlands.

The RELEVANT September 2011 Geneva-Switzerland sessions of the United Nations Human Rights Council ENDED on September 30th, 2011, with the neo-Nazi Sinhala fascist totalitarian Rajapakse regime being handed "yet another victory" by United Nations Chief Ban Ki-moon and by the so-called "international community" COMPLICIT IN GENOCIDE~right through to "TODAY" [February 7th, 2012].  While the author of the article cited writes accurately that [Sri Lanka's nakedly genocidal neo-Nazi Sinhala fascist dictator] "Rajapakse is revisiting Hitler’s crimes"~President Obama's
State Department spokespersons [Victoria Nuland] stated on August 9th, 2011:  We want to see the Sri Lankans do this themselves [HOLD THEMSELVES ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR OWN CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY] in a way that meets international standards
[!]

Heart-breakingly-tragically~one is NOT hard pressed to *IMAGINE* a world where Hitler~or the perpetrators of GENOCIDE in Rwanda or in Srebrenica~for that matter~would be politely asked
by The Obama Administration
by United Nations Chief Ban-Ki-moon
by the leaders of Germany, France, and other "human rights-respecting" EU member countries~
to "hold THEMSELVES accountable for THEIR OWN war crimes!"

We must all work hand-in-hand to create a world in which such elusive justice is *UNIMAGINABLE*
We must all work together to confront honestly the perpetrators of CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY.

On the "one hand":
The US State Department spent *TENS OF THOUSANDS* of US TAXPAYER DOLLARS purchasing copies of President Obama's books~and US State Department spokesperson Noel Clay has called it:  "engag[ing] key audiences in discussions of foreign policy.”  [The "scandal" is that no other US President in history has ever acted in this manner until they were cleanly *out* of Presidential Office.]
Another report~records that U.S. embassies around the world spent more than $70,000 collectively on Obama’s autobiographies as gifts and for their libraries. Carney referred people to the State Department saying that this was an “embassy by embassy based decision.”
On the "other hand":
A LEGAL TAXPAYING RESIDENT of the United States spent *LESS THAN US $17.00* on an "independently-authored" book~"explaining" the *GENOCIDE* of dark-skinned ethnic minority Tamils in Sri Lanka~a *genocide* 100% energetically "supported" by President Obama's "policies" on the neo-Nazi Sinhala fascist totalitarian Sri Lankan State~and the US State Department "felt the need" to "officially" TREAT THIS AS AN ATTEMPT AT BRIBERY:

While the genocides in Rwanda and Srebrenica were unspeakable tragedies on a mass scale~*AT THE VERY LEAST*~THEY WERE REPORTED ON steadily and with compassion and with ACCURATE terminology in the INTERNATIONAL ENGLISH-SPEAKING-ENGLISH-READING-press.  CERTAINLY Rwanda and Srebrenica WERE*NOT*/and ARE *NOT*referred to as "a war victory" for the PERPETRATORS OF SUCH SPECTACULAR GENOCIDE:  http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/8690408.stm~[Please see the tenth word on The Very First Line at The Top]   CERTAINLY no statements HAVE EVER BEEN MADE in the international press such as The BBC's reporter-on-the-ground-in Colombo~[Mr. Haviland's statement]:  "Whoever masterminded the war victory most [Rwanda and Srebrenica residents as opposed to ethnic Sri Lankan Tamil residents] are heartily glad its all over."  It appears that in Mr. Haviland's [and presumably in The BBC's highly esteemed] eyes the cold-blooded slaughter of what is currently estimated to be 330,000 [three hundred and thirty-thousand] unarmed, non-combatant, dark-skinned ethnic minority civilian Eelam Tamils *IS* INDEED "a war victory"~[Please see the tenth word on The Very First Line at The Top]~for the nakedly genocidal neo-Nazi Sinhala fascist Sri Lankan government, eh?
CERTAINLY the unspeakably horrific tragedies in Rwanda and Srebrenica did not receive international press coverage that *WHITEWASHED* over stories of *GENOCIDE* with *OBSCENE* stories of "cricket stars" EXTORTING MONEY from completely DESTITUTE [!] war-devastated Eelam Tamils [!]~facing "ongoing" slaughter on a DAILY BASIS "even" in 2012~all in the breathtakingly CYNICAL "name" of "fundraising for cancer research!"~to "satisfy" the "craven dreams" of an already OBSCENELY WEALTHY "international cricket star!"~who has NEVER "experienced" the trouble most Tamils "experience" getting a visa to travel abroad~IN ORDER TO LEAVE GENOCIDE BEHIND.
CERTAINLY The BBC's "coverage" of the IMMENSE TRAGEDIES in Rwanda and Srebrenica *STAND OUT* in starkest contrast to the SILENT GENOCIDE~referred to so aptly and so perfectly by Nobel-Peace-Prize-winner Desmond Tutu as "a DEAFENING GLOBAL SILENCE."
What "transpired" in Sri Lanka in 2009~"away" from the prying camera lenses of the world's press~has not even "begun" to be "labeled" or "certified" *A GENOCIDE*~as of February 7th, 2012~by The BBC~or indeed by "international" "AUTHORITIES"~like United Nations Chief Ban Ki-moon~like United States' Secretary of State Hillary Clinton~like Nobel Peace-Prize-winning United States' President Barack Obama~like The International Criminal Court in The Hague, The Netherlands.  For example The BBC labeled the atrocities committed by Sri Lankan government forces in 2009 a "crushing defeat" for "politically opposed" LTTE fighters~as recently as on January 27th, 2012~AS IN:  "As commander of the key 58 division in 2009 he was instrumental in the crushing defeat of the Tamil Tiger rebels, who were fighting for a separate homeland.

The BBC TRUMPETS LOUDLY [Sarcastically stated!~Of course!]:  Rwanda and Srebrenica are "actually" WAR VICTORIES for the "military" "warrior" perpetrators of GENOCIDE.
It ***IS*** indeed "within the realm of possibility" for The BBC to be "informed" by the "moral example" set by The French Senate~which has passed legislation effectively BANNING THE DENIAL OF THE GENOCIDE OF ARMENIANS BY OTTOMAN TURK "warriors."  It ***IS*** "possible" to "envision" that PUBLIC AND OFFICIAL DENIALS of THE TAMIL GENOCIDE BY SRI LANKA [http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_0_9?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=the+tamil+genocide+by+sri+lanka&sprefix=the+tamil%2Cstripbooks%2C181] will one day "also be banned-legislatively."
While other respected new agencies and internationally-credible independent entities have employed terms like *CRIMES* and  *GENOCIDE*  and carefully-planned-in-advance mass murder to describe the actions of Sri Lankan government forces in 2009 and "ongoing" in 2012~it is NOTEWORTHY that writers and broadcasters at The BBC~CONTINUE IN 2012~PERSISTENTLY~OBDURATELY~employing terms like "military" and "defeated" AS IN:  http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-16795442:  "The conflict in Sri Lanka ended in 2009 when the military defeated Tamil Tiger rebels after decades of fighting."

Are words like "military defeated" and "crushing defeat" and "military"..."victory" the SAME WORDS that The BBC employed~and continues employing in 2012???~to describe the GENOCIDES perpetrated by "warriors" [Sarcastically stated!~Of course!] and government "military" in Rwanda and Srebrenica as well???
Perhaps "even" the genocide perpetrated by "warrior" government "military" Turks [Sarcastically stated!~Of course!] on minority Kurds???

Are the terms "crushing defeat" and "defeated" and "civil war" http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-16599778 [PLEASE SEE "Sri Lankan government forces defeated Tamil Tiger rebels fighting for a separate homeland in May 2009 after 26 years of civil war"~THIRD PARAGRAPH DOWN FROM THE TOP]~the SAME WORDS that The BBC employed to describe the GENOCIDES perpetrated perpetrated by "warriors" [Sarcastically stated!~Of course!] in Rwanda and Srebrenica as well???  Perhaps "even" the genocide perpetrated by "warriors" [Sarcastically stated!~Of course!] in Ottoman Turkey on Armenians???  Perhaps "even" the genocide by "warriors" [Sarcastically stated!~Of course!] in Sudan???

Just curious.

It's nice to know that NOTHING HAS CHANGED~as of February 7th, 2012~in the "slant"~[undoubtedly FORCED ON The BBC's Mr. Charles Haviland~by Sinhala fascists] of Mr. Haviland's "reporting"-on-the-ground~on the neo-Nazi Sinhala fascist Sri Lankan government's ongoing in 2012 "shenanigans"~including relentless langrabs of land previously owned by Eelam Tamils.  OBVIOUSLY Mr. Haviland keeps himself "ultra-SUPER-busy" [poor thing!] reporting on the Haviland-labeled "JOY RIDE" HIGHWAYS BUILT ON THE BLOOD OF THE OPPRESSED.  The BBC's TAMIL LANGUAGE SERVICE AT LEAST appears to be GROUNDED in a "sufficient" sense of reality to report that Tamil detainees CONTINUE [in 2012~the war on Eelam Tamil citizens of Sri Lanka was declared OVER in 2009!~REMEMBER????] to live in the most UNSPEAKABLY APPALLING CONDITIONS in the North and East of Sri Lanka~in camps that "reasonable" reporters have called "concentration camps" in the style and flavour of Nazi-run camps~where Tamil detainees are almost "routinely" exposed to sexual assaults and crimes of every kind at the hands of the proverbial "foxes that guard the hen houses"~where Tamils "routinely" face torture in SEVEN SEPARATE LOCATIONS INSIDE SRI LANKA identified by Nobel-Peace-Prize-winning internationally-recognized human rights group Amnesty International:
The TimesOnLine article with the headline '1,400 Tamil civilians a week dying at Manik Farm concentration camp' [in 2009] is NO LONGER AVAILABLE ONLINE WITHOUT A SUBSCRIPTION~SADLY~and perhaps MOST CONVENIENTLY for the genocidal Sri Lankan State:  http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/asia/article6676792.ec

India's _The Ground Report_ records [MORE STARKLY] that the Sri Lankan government's massacres are "more cruel than the Nazi massacres."  [Please see fifth paragraph down from the top].

The "slant" against the political and human rights of dark-skinned ethnic minority Eelam Tamils in Sri Lanka appears to be CONTINUING "unabated" in Mr. Haviland's and other BBC reporters' reporting of quotations.  South Indian Tamil politician Jayalalithaa Jeyaram has spoken out [literally] INNUMERABLE times on behalf of Eelam Tamils rights as reported by "other" than BBC News agencies.  Dramatic and~what "Western" reporters might consider "harsh" statements have been made by Ms. Jayaram~against the nakedly genocidal neo-Nazi Sinhala fascist totalitarian government in Sri Lanka that has so successfully perpetrated a spectacular genocide on Eelam Tamils.
After all~330,000 Eelam Tamils slaughtered are probably [Sarcastically stated!~Of course!] "insufficient number" to deserve "harsh statements in English"~at The BBC:
(1)  Replying to a calling attention motion, she [Jayalalithaa Jayaram] alleged that thousands of Tamils were killed by the [Sri Lankan] military as the Sri Lankan military crushed the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) in 2008-09:
http://www.inewsone.com/2011/08/11/will-get-sri-lankan-tamils-their-rights-jayalalithaa/68222
(2)  [Jayalalithaa Jayaram] said that Lankan defence secretary's [Ghotabaya's] statement is like the Devil quoting from scriptures:  http://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/lanka-war-crimes-jayalalithaa-hits-back-at-gotabaya-rajpaksha/1/147754.html

~since 1949.

To hear the CIA "tell it"~The United States Central Intelligence Agency~whom NO ONE would EVER accuse of being "aligned" IN ANY WAY, SHAPE, FORM with LTTE [Liberation Tigers]:
Dark-skinned ethnic minority Eelam Tamils have declined from 15% [fifteen percent] of the Sri Lankan population to 3.9% [three point nine percent] of the Sri Lankan population [CIA World Factbook~please see "Sri Lankan Tamil" 3.9%~at the top of the linked page] [https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/ce.html]~a decimation in population resulting from both a DIRECT~as well as an INDIRECT result~of relentless genocidal acts perpetrated against them by successive genocidal neo-Nazi fascist Sri Lankan Sinhala administrations~dating back to 1949~[30 years prior to 1979~in other words looooooong before the founding of the genocide-opposing~liberty-seeking LTTE in 1979~long before the birth of the founding members of LTTE]~or of the Tamil National Alliance~and continued currently by the totalitarian government of the neo-Nazi fascist Sinhala President Mahinda Rajapakse]~now~even "after" the so-called "military defeat" of  the LTTE on May 18th, 2009~even AFTER the so-called "triumph over dirty Tamil LTTE terrorists."
[http://www.bangkokpost.com/news/asia/167253/amnesty-urges-s-lanka-to-end-post-poll-clampdown]

"As ever" it's a COMPLETE THRILL and JOY [sarcastically stated!~of course!] to note that while "fellow-reporters" continue expressing [in 2012] SERIOUS concerns about the massive killings perpetrated on dark-skinned ethnic minority Tamils in Sri Lanka~in 2009~and "ongoing" in 2011~and in 2012~in their heart-rending reporting~The BBC's reporter-on-the-ground-in Colombo, Sri Lanka~Charles Haviland has SO MUCH EXTRA journalistic room TO SPARE~to write about long-tusked elephants [!]~and about "cricket"~thereby succeeding~perhaps even "beyond" the wildest dreams of the nakedly genocidal neo-Nazi Sinhala fascist totalitarian regime in "normalising"~even in "elevating" the so-called "culture" of the barbaric "clowns" in Sri Lanka's nakedly genocidal neo-Nazi Sinhala fascist Rajapakse regime.  Mr. Haviland's stories are somewhat eerily reflective of the manner in which Nazi German "culture" was "normalised" and "celebrated" and "elevated"~"even" by cultured and "high-class" and highly intellectual, and highly-culturally sophisticated American "observers"of Hitler's totalitarian Nazi fascist regime.
With all due respect to cricket fans around the world THERE IS ABSOLUTELY *NO POINT* IN RECRUITING *COMPLETELY AND UTTERLY DESTITUTE* EELAM TAMIL men for CRICKET when the injustices Tamils~particularly excruciatingly committed AGAINST Tamil men~SUFFERED BY ALL SRI LANKAN TAMILS~and SRI LANKAN MUSLIMS~near and far~ON A DAILY BASIS are so heinous-so obscene~so CLEARLY SANCTIONED AND ENCOURAGED and CELEBRATED by The Rajapakse regime~and CONTINUE BEING COMMITTED ON A DAILY BASIS ***IN*** 2012 WITH such *COMPLETE AND UTTER IMPUNITY*~such complete and utter DISREGARD for BASIC HUMAN RIGHTS.

Having said all this~The BBC reporter in Colombo [Sri Lanka's capital] is to be "more than commended" for writing on October 8th, 2011~[now that EVERY CREDIBLE SHRED of political and military opposition to entrenched Sinhala neo-Nazi fascism in Sri Lanka~IN EVERY FORM~has been UTTERLY SUCCESSFULLY ANNIHILATED by the Rajapakse regime~Please see the second paragraph up from the last paragraph~at the bottom of the article]:  "The violence underlines the fact that, although the government regularly says it defeated terrorism with its war victory, much politics here is underpinned by violence, and government politicians with guns hold sway in various parts of the country."

It's "a fascinator"~albeit "obviously" not *quite* on a par with "fascinators" belonging to Catherine Middleton [The Duchess of Cambridge] [Sarcastically stated!~Of Course!] that as has become "habitual practice" in the writing of these types of stories~Sri Lanka's nakedly genocidal neo-Nazi Sinhala fascist dictator [Sinhala President Mahinda Rajapakse] is *NOT* featured "prominently" in The BBC's "most helpful to us all" proverbial rogues' gallery of murderers~or *EVEN* featured AT ALL[!]
Since "the majority" of the readers of The BBC news pages are not "diplomats" and since "most BBC readers" have "no plans" ever to "shake" Rajapakse's  hand~LURIDLY-STAINED-WITH-the-BLOOD-of-more-than-330,000-Tamils~and since BBC web readers and listeners and watchers have "observed" coverage of Rajapakse's gleeful triumphalism~demonstrated clearly in some of the "seemingly endless celebrations" of his so-called "triumph over dirty Tamil LTTE terrorists"~it's *quite* difficult for BBC readers to "understand" *WHY* Rajapakse gets "conveniently LEFT OUT" of stories that "supposedly" cover issues so eminently "to do" with DICTATORS and MASS MURDERERS.  It certainly remains a puzzle~OR as "The Beautiful Spirit" Desmond Tutu so aptly puts it~it's all part of the "ongoing" and "determined" *DEAFENING GLOBAL SILENCE*~when it comes to addressing Sri Lanka on its CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY.

On the "one hand" Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard's fragile governing coalition appeared for a few brief moments AS IF it COULD be "brought down" by a NOT-PERSONALLY-Julia Gillard-scandal over the misuse of an Australian MP's government credit card [!]
On the "other hand" UN Chief Ban Ki-moon who "stood by and watched" doing *NOTHING* in 2009~as 330,000 unarmed, noncombatant, civilian Eelam Tamils were slaughtered in cold blood~all the while "claiming" that he [UN Chief Ban Ki-moon] was conducting "quiet diplomacy"~with Sri Lanka's nakedly genocidal neo-Nazi Sinhala fascists~"to-date" [as of February 7th, 2012] faces ZERO "political" SCANDAL.  Pronounced in Mr. Ban's South Korean accent the words "quiet diplomacy" *sound* remarkably like "quiet dipROMAcy"~when he says it~which is ironic~in the context of "The Rome Statute"~supposedly "the ONLY THING" standing between The UN and internationally-recognized criminal trials for The Rajapakse regime [!]  In fact *QUITE THE OPPOSITE* to encountering SCANDAL [!]~Mr. Ban was/and is thoroughly and VERY PUBLICLY "celebrated" in INNUMERABLE-accolades-filled ceremonies and in his RE-appointment to A SECOND FIVE-YEAR TERM as head of the United Nations.  Mr. Ban is a UN Chief who has "followed up" a whole lot of *NOTHING* with even "more " *NOTHING*~in the case of prosecuting the Sri Lankan government's war crimes at The International Criminal Court, in The Hague, The Netherlands.  NO-ONE~not "even" Eelam Tamils inside Sri Lanka~or diaspora Eelam Tamils *ACTUALLY* WANT TO THINK THAT Mr. Ban is bigoted against dark-skinned ethnic minority Eelam Tamils!~but many are at a complete *LOSS* to know *WHAT* to think~in the "face" of Mr. Ban's determined *INACTION* on Sri Lanka's excruciatingly well-documented, unspeakably egregious war crimes.  Mr. Ban's behavior *APPEARS* to be a manifest demonstration of his racist attitude and bigotry toward dark-skinned Eelam Tamils in Sri Lanka~as in MORE THAN *TWO-AND-A-HALF CALENDAR YEARS* OF *NOTHING* not "even" releasing his "own" report on Sri Lanka's *GENOCIDE* of Tamils~"until" ferocious pressure was applied to him~by valiant activists and intrepid and valiant journalists.  Mr. Ban has been "handily" *RE-APPOINTED* to a *second 5-year term in office as UN Chief* [*CLEARLY* a "first" 5-year term marked by *GENOCIDE* has been found "insufficient"]~with *NO* protest and *NO* opposition *NO* international outcry~from *any one in authority*~"especially' *NOT* from 24/7 "celebrity" "Hope and Change" US President Barack Obama~and *with* the "hearty approval" of no *LESS*a "personage" than Sri Lanka's nakedly genocidal neo-Nazi Sinhala fascist President "Rajapakse HIMSELF" [!]  IMAGINE THAT [!]
While Mr. Ban very "publicly" and very "loudly" very "admirably" very "properly" touts the [UN's] obligation to “help the most defenseless in the modern world”~in WORDS to be found in his public speeches~[Please see the third paragraph down from the top~the eleventh line down~for Mr. Ban's EXACT WORDS] his ACTIONS have TO-DATE [February 7th, 2012] put the proverbial "lie" to his "publicly-confessed" obligations to “help the most defenseless in the modern world."  Mr. Ban's DETERMINED ACTION as of February 7th, 2012~to adamantly and obstinately and determinedly *refuse* to request that internationally credible criminal trials for Sri Lanka's CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY be conducted at The International Criminal Court in The Hague, The Netherlands [The International Criminal Court operates under the jurisdiction of the UN and Mr. Ban's leadership of it]~completely refutes Mr. Ban's OWN "pretty speeches" and "empty" WORDS regarding “help the most defenseless in the modern world.”
Heart-breakingly:  The September 2011 UN sessions in Geneva Switzerland ENDED [September 30th, 2011] with NO CRIMINAL TRIALS SCHEDULED for Sri Lanka's nakedly genocidal neo-Nazi Sinhala fascist regime~PERHAPS a continued manifest demonstration of UN Chief Ban's racist attitude and bigotry toward dark-skinned ethnic minority Eelam Tamils in Sri Lanka.
To ADD INSULT TO INJURY UN Chief Ban ki-Moon is "busy" [in January 2012] appointing Sri Lankan ex-army general Shavendra Silva~a war criminal who POSTED photographic evidence of the genocide he successfully perpetrated on Tamils on his Facebook Page and publicly "crowed" over the atrocities he perpetrated on hundreds of thousands of ethnic Tamils~"publicly crowing" as "recently" as in 2012.

Even though Sri Lanka's neo-Nazi Sinhala fascist President Mahinda Rajapakse was "officially" served with papers on June 19th, 2011~summoning him to a US civil court~alas! *not* a US CRIMINAL court~a summons alas! *not* issued by The International Criminal Court in The Hague, The Netherlands~as the summons *ought* to have been!~he "laughs" at the summons~and "dismisses" all "private" and "civil" attempts to bring him to justice as "the mere laughable dastardly plot of dirty Tamil Tiger LTTE terrorists and their proxies."    Rakapakse's behavior makes it absolutely *imperative* that The International Criminal Court in The Hague, The Netherlands *ACT* immediately and appropriately to bring *criminal* [not "merely civil"] charges of WAR CRIMES and CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY against Rajapakse himself~and against all his "companions-in-genocide."

While the United Nations has acted swiftly, and justly, and ethically, and honorably, and appropriately, and perfectly~in declaring Somalia's famine in Bakool and Lower Shabelle "immediately in July 2011"~TWO-AND-A-HALF CALENDAR YEARS "after" ["after" 2009] what COULD BE the cold-blooded genocidal slaughter of 330,000 [three hundred and thirty thousand [The TimesOnLine article with the headline '1,400 Tamil civilians a week dying at Manik Farm concentration camp' is NO LONGER AVAILABLE ONLINE WITHOUT A SUBSCRIPTION~SADLY~and perhaps MOST CONVENIENTLY for the genocidal Sri Lankan State:  http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/asia/article6676792.ece]~dark-skinned ethnic minority Tamils at the hands of their "own" nakedly genocidal neo-Nazi Sinhala fascist government~these cold-blooded "mass murders perpetrated BY the Sri Lankan government" and "mass planned slaughters perpetrated BY the Sri Lankan government" and "mass and carefully-planned deaths perpetrated BY the Sri Lankan government"~of dark-skinned ethnic minority Tamils in Sri Lanka~have "not yet" [as of February 7th, 2012] been "officially declared" *a GENOCIDE* by the United Nations.
While the "newest country in the world"~South Sudan has "already" been admitted [on July 14th, 2011] to The United Nations as it's "official" 193rd member~shamefully~there is NO SUCH EFFORT being made~by The United Nations~or by ANYONE on the "world stage"~not "even" by Combination-Lincoln-and-Johnson-and-Mandela-and-King-Civil-Rights-Icon-Obama~to "formally admit" the Country of Eelam Tamils in Sri Lanka~to the United Nations as its "194th member state."

While Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard's government is to be congratulated and applauded and celebrated for REFUSING to cave to opposition party proposals to "return" refugees and asylum-seekers BACK TO THE TREACHEROUS SEAS~as in many previous cases over the years~to die~it is deeply disappointing that the Australian government CONTINUES to RETURN ETHNIC TAMIL REFUGEES [and others] TO INDONESIA~Please see the very last paragraph at the bottom of the article~as "recently" as in 2012~because Indonesia is a country whose government has categorically refused to comply with international regulations on the human rights of refugee and asylum-seekers.

On the "one hand"
~"legally" and "ethically" and "honorably" and "appropriately" and "justly" and "justifiably" AT THE TIME THE ARREST WAS MADE~
The head of the International Monetary Fund [Dominique Strauss-Kahn] was removed from a Paris-bound flight in New York minutes before takeoff Saturday afternoon [May 14th, 2011] and was [appropriately and legally] arrested in connection with sexual assault on a housekeeper at a Manhattan [NY] hotel earlier that day.  As of July 1st, 2011 the MEDICAL EVIDENCE in the case APPEARED irrefutable~[PLEASE SEE THE LINES:  "Investigators had earlier said they found traces of Strauss-Kahn's semen on the maid's uniform, indicating an encounter, and they haven't backed away from that"]  *STILL* in spite of Strauss-Kahn's release without bail on July 1st, 2011~and in spite of the fact that all charges against Strauss-Kahn were dropped on August 23rd, 2011~HE WAS APPROPRIATELY AND LEGALLY APPREHENDED ON UNITES STATES' SOIL FOR HIS ALLEGED CRIME.
All charges have since been dropped~in spite of irrefutable physical evidence suggesting an inappropriate encounter~in spite of Mr. Strauss-Kahn's "international"
"much-corroborated-reputation" for inappropriate conduct and violence toward women.  Updates on this case are available here:  http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-14619921 and here:  http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-14637803~and in spite of Strauss-Kahn's "own words"~basically confessing to a violent, aggressive, inappropriate physical encounter:  http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-14967295  Other issues involving this case are discussed in these article: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-14642617 and http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-15837717

Sri Lanka's nakedly genocidal neo-Nazi fascist totalitarian dictator~"responsible" for ordering the cold-blooded slaughter of an estimated 330,000 [three hundred and thirty thousand HAS YET TO BE ARRESTED FOR HIS CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY as of February 7th, 2012.  [The TimesOnLine article with the headline '1,400 Tamil civilians a week dying at Manik Farm concentration camp' is NO LONGER AVAILABLE ONLINE WITHOUT A SUBSCRIPTION~SADLY~and perhaps MOST CONVENIENTLY for the genocidal Sri Lankan State:  http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/asia/article6676792.ece]~*unarmed* *noncombatant* *dark-skinned* *ethnic minority* *Tamil* *civilians* in Sri Lanka in 2009 *TWO-AND-A-HALF CALENDAR YEARS AGO AS OF 2012*~REMAINS UNARRESTED~as of 2012~TWO-AND-A-HALF CALENDAR YEARS "AFTER" HE SUCCESSFULLY PERPETRATED GENOCIDE ON ETHNIC TAMILS.  Rajapakse remainED UNARRESTED by authorities in Houston, Texas, USA~on a so-called "private visit"~from January 19th, 2011 until January 27th, 2011~*TWO-AND-A-HALF CALENDAR YEARS* "AFTER" PERPETRATING CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY.  To add "insult" to "injury"~during Rajapakse's USA visit he reportedly enjoyed a "private meeting" with US Undersecretary of State Robert Blake~BEFORE HE [Rajapakse] RETURNED TO SRI LANKA~to CONTINUE his reign of terror~as "official DICTATOR" of Sri Lanka.  As of this writing in 2012~Rajapakse CONTINUES his SHAMELESS, GLEEFUL, "endless" CELEBRATIONS of NAKED GENOCIDE~perpetrated with *NO* INTERNATIONAL CONDEMNATIONS and *NO* INTERNATIONAL CONSEQUENCES to himself or to his totalitarian Sinhala fascist regime.
Surprise!  Surprise!:  To "add" insult to unquantifiably dire injuries caused by him to dark-skinned ethnic minority Eelam Tamils~Rajapakse has [in January 2012] turned his neo-Nazi Sinhala fascist forces "on" to cause injury to protesting~MAINLY SINHALA~students~in Sri Lanka.

After all the UN Chief who "stood by and watched" doing *NOTHING*~as 330,000~[The TimesOnLine article with the headline '1,400 Tamil civilians a week dying at Manik Farm concentration camp' is NO LONGER AVAILABLE ONLINE WITHOUT A SUBSCRIPTION~SADLY~and perhaps MOST CONVENIENTLY for the genocidal Sri Lankan State:  http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/asia/article6676792.ece] unarmed, noncombatant, civilian Tamils were slaughtered in cold blood~all the while "claiming" that he [UN Chief Ban Ki-moon] was conducting "quiet diplomacy"~with Sri Lanka.  Pronounced in Mr. Ban's South Korean accent these words *sound* like "quiet dipROMAcy"~when he says it~which is ironic~in the context of "The Rome Statue"~supposedly standing between "justice" and criminal trials for The Rajapakse regime [!]  Mr. Ban is a UN Chief who has "followed up" a whole lot of *NOTHING* with even "more " *NOTHING*~as in *TWO-AND-A-HALF CALENDAR YEARS* OF *NOTHING* not "even" releasing his "own" report on Sri Lanka's *GENOCIDE* of Tamils~"until" ferocious pressure was applied to him~by valiant activists and journalists~has been "handily" *RE-APPOINTED* to a *second 5-year term in office as UN Chief* [*CLEARLY* a "first" 5-year term marked by *GENOCIDE* has been found "insufficient"]~with *NO* protest and *NO* opposition *NO* international outcry~from *any one in authority*~"especially' *NOT* from 24/7 "celebrity" "Hope and Change" US President Barack Obama~and *with* the "hearty approval" of no *LESS*a "personage" than Sri Lanka's nakedly genocidal neo-Nazi Sinhala fascist President "Rajapakse HIMSELF" [!]  IMAGINE THAT [!]

Rakapakse's completely carefree and cavalier and gleeful and celebratory "attitude" regarding the *GENOCIDE* that he has so successfully perpetrated on dark-skinned ethnic minority Tamils in Sri Lanka makes it absolutely *imperative* that "YOUR COURT" "OUR COURT"~The International Criminal Court in The Hague, The Netherlands~*ACT* immediately to bring *criminal* [not "merely civil"] charges~against the perpetrators and enablers of *GENOCIDE* within the totalitarian Rajapakse regime~against the perpetrators of WAR CRIMES and CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY.

The Commonwealth Secretariat's "official statement"~posted on The Commonwealth Secretariat's very "own" web page on June 23rd, 2011~"uselessly" suggesting that Sri Lanka INVESTIGATE ITS *OWN* CRIMES~is rather like politely asking Hitler or Mladic to INVESTIGATE his "own" war crimes and CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY.  In other words:  a *COMPLETELY USELESS* exercise~not to mention *unheard of* in the storied annals of law-enforcement and legal history [!]~not to mention "way too little"  "way too late."

What the Commonwealth Secretariat~and its Secretary-General *ABSOLUTELY MUST DO* and *DO IMMEDIATELY* and *DO NOW* is to *demand* that The International Criminal Court in The Hague, The Netherlands~particularly Chief Prosecutor Louis Moreno-Ocampo~*ACTUALLY EMPLOY* its sweeping legal powers and authorities and vast-to-the-point-of-unlimited "prosecutorial discretion" to apprehend the perpetrators of WAR CRIMES and CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY in Sri Lanka's WAR CRIMES.  *FAILURE* to do so is quite *SIMPLY* The Commonwealth Secretariat's Secretary-General's *OWN* *and*~and The Commonwealth Secretariat's *OWN* *COMPLICITY* with Sri Lanka's perpetration of *GENOCIDE* on its "own" dark-skinned ethnic minority Tamil population.

The BBC story story linked here reveals that the Sri Lankan government produced "a propaganda film" [surprise! surprise!] in August 2011~fascinatingly produced in the English language~not in the Sinhala language or in the Tamil language~as could be expected~lambasting Britain's Channel 4~for its IMMENSELY COURAGEOUS TRUTH-TELLING~at a time when the "NON-CHANNEL 4-world" is "SO full of fabrications" re. Sri Lanka's genocide on Tamils~by broadcasting Callum Macrae's stunning documentary.  Britain's Channel 4 has CLEARLY and IRREVOCABLY demonstrated IMMENSE journalistic courage at ALL levels of production~narration~and broadcasting.
*IF* what Mahinda Rajapakse's nakedly genocidal neo-Nazi Sinhala fascist totalitarian regime is "telling the world" in "its OWN version" [the English-language documentary mentioned in The BBC story~linked above] is "The Truth" THEN how DOES the Sri Lankan regime "explain" ??????? photographs of the _Uthayan_ [Tamil daily] publication journalist Gnanasundaram Kuhanathan, news editor of the Tamil daily _Uthayan_] whose head was broken open [literally!]~and who was LEFT FOR DEAD "by" the government forces controlled by Mahinda Rajapakse~as it was reported by The BBC on July 30th, 2011~"just because" and "ONLY BECAUSE" the Tamil journalist DARED publish a truthful account of the recent elections in which Mahinda Rajapakse's nakedly genocidal neo-Nazi totalitarian fascist regime suffered electoral setbacks.  The photographs making "international news" of the Tamil _Uthayan_ journalist has "nothing whatever" to "do" with the "end of the conflict" in 2009~OR with what Rajapakse SAYS [over and over and over] are the "BLATANT LIES" that Britain's Channel 4 is "telling."

NEITHER do the "following" events~described in a statement from the International Federation of Journalists:
The International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) joins its Sri Lankan affiliates in expressing outrage at a brutal attack on Gnanasundaram Kuhanathan, news editor of the Tamil daily _Uthayan_, in the northern city of Jaffna on July 29 [2011].
According to reports received from Sri Lanka, Kuhanathan, 59, was left for dead after being attacked with iron rods by two unidentified men while on his way home in the evening. He was discovered in a critical condition by passers-by and taken to Jaffna General Hospital, where he is on life-support.
"The IFJ is shocked at the viciousness of the attack on Gnanasundaram Kuhanathan, which extends a long sequence of targeted attacks on _Uthayan_," IFJ Asia-Pacific said.
On May 28, S. Kavitharan, a reporter with _Uthayan_, was attacked in Jaffna in a similar manner while on his way to work.  No investigations into the incident have since been conducted.
In January 2006, S. S. Sukirtharajan, a reporter for the newspaper in Trincomalee, in the Eastern Province, was shot dead in evident retribution for his role in exposing the execution-style killing of five Tamil students by Sri Lankan armed forces.

In numerous parts of "even" so-called "developing-world democracies"~amongst which democracies SRI LANKA STEADFASTLY CLAIMS IT *IS* NUMBERED~publishing "accurate reports" of "news" is NOT "a crime" PUNISHABLE BY DEATH! [Imagine that!]
Oops!  It's easily forgotten!  The publication referred to the recent elections in Sri Lanka in which the nakedly genocidal neo-Nazi Sinhala fascist totalitarian regime suffered electoral setbacks.
Curiouser and curiouser AND curiouser~isn't it?

Even though violence had been "expected" in Sudan's "vote for independence"~*NO VIOLENCE* had *YET* taken place~as of January 10th, 2011~and *COMMENDABLY* and *LAUDABLY* powerful and globally recognized organization~including that "rare combination":  Hollywood celebrities and evangelical Christian churches had~been "already" teaming up with astonishing success to *PREVENT* the "expected" violence in Sudan.  [Unfortunately~some sporadic violence has "since" taken place in Sudan.]  "In the end" Southern Sudan's vote for independence from the north has turned out to be a spectacular political success story~with the birth of "a new country" in an effort to END CONFLICT with the north~in the same way that Kosovo's independence from Serbia has been a success story~in stark and miserable contrast to the constant audible negative commentary of Norway's Erik Solheim~arbiter of Sri Lanka's Peace Treaty with the LTTE~who remains dourly negative~to this day in 2012~whenever the topic of dark-skinned ethnic minority Tamil Southern-Sudan-Kosovo-mirroring aspirations for self-determination and independence from their genocidal Sinhala neighbors is discussed. 

AS IF the accomplishment of a spectacularly successful *GENOCIDE* of dark-skinned ethnic minority Eelam Tamils in Sri Lanka were "insufficient cause for utter despair"~ a new report described by The BBC Tamil Service reports that Norway's esteemed Mr. Solheim~and his esteemed Norwegian Peace-Making colleagues have "washed their hands" ENTIRELY of ALL responsibility for their FAILURE to prevent *GENOCIDE* in Sri Lanka.

In the same way that the United States' refuses [in 2011] to grant official recognition to the Libyan people's struggle for their basic political and human rights~no United States' administration~since 1949~including The "Hope and Change" Obama Administration~*ever* came "close" to granting "official recognition" to THE FACT that dark-skinned ethnic minority Tamils in Sri Lanka have faced genocide~since 1949.

In 2009~The Central Government of India~under the leadership of Manmohan Singh~actively enabled and acted in active and energetic complicity in Sri Lanka's carefully orchestrated mass-scale genocide on its own dark-skinned ethnic minority Eelam Tamil population.  However~now that the 2009 mass-scale genocide on Sri Lanka's dark-skinned ethnic minority Eelam Tamil population has been successfully perpetrated~for the most part~with only smaller-scale incidents of ethnic Eelam Tamils being murdered with complete impunity~as "recently" as in 2011~[and also in 2012]~India's Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has urged investigation into the war crimes committed by Sri Lanka's government~as reported in Tamil language BBC July 15th, 2011.

Interestingly~in the context of Eelam Tamil efforts to establish A GENOCIDE-FREE TAMIL HOMELAND~Manmohan Singh's Central Government of India has set a beautiful example for itself~by signing an agreement for greater political and economic autonomy with the most important Gorkha ethnic group in the Indian state of West Bengal.
A "similar" process of increasing political and economic autonomy for India's citizenry is beginning in the Indian State of Uttar Pradesh~in response to Indian Uttar Pradesh citizens' demands for better representation by their State and local governments~"proving" the almost COMPLETE LACK OF DEMOCRACY in Sri Lanka~a country that APPEARS to be "a democracy" in NAME ONLY.

In "imitation" of the beautiful example set by The Central Government of India [as described above]~under the leadership of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh~the Government of Nepal has "finally" [on November 1st, 2011] settled a long-running conflict with the country's Maoist rebel groups.

However~sadly~the Central Government of India~continues to trample~on a daily basis~on the fishing rights of Eelam Tamil fisherman who wish to fish for a living IN THEIR OWN WATERS.

In the aftermath of the 2009 genocide of dark-skinned ethnic minority Tamils in Sri Lanka~the Central Government of India appeared obviously "not in the mood" to work actively to prevent the ongoing genocide of Eelam Tamils in Sri Lanka~"ongoing" in 20122~and in 2012~in spite of Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu Jayalalithaa Jeyaram's [yes! a successful and powerful female Tamil politician!] valiant calls for an end to Tamil genocide in Sri Lanka~including her reference to Sri Lanka's current President Rajapakse as "a war criminal."
It is highly commendable that United States' Secretary of State Hillary Clinton "found time" in her whirlwind schedule in India to meet one-on-one with Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu [Jayalalithaa] for a whole hour on July 20th, 2011.  However~GIVEN that "until" the time of Secretary of State Clinton's visit Jayalalithaa Jeyaram had been CONSISTENTLY vocal and CONSISTENTLY and ADMIRABLY very public about her demands on the central government of India [under Manmohan Singh] to speedily place economic sanctions against Sri Lanka~and GIVEN that this news story in Tamil reports the signing of a major lucrative trade deal between India and Sri Lanka's neo-Nazi Sinhala fascist totalitarian government~*AFTER* Secretary of State Clinton's visit to India~ALL indications point to United States' *ONGOING* COMPLICITY IN THE GENOCIDE OF TAMILS IN SRI LANKA IN 2011~and in 2012.  The United States' and The Obama Administration continuing to~VERY VOCALLY, VERY PUBLICLY "push" India's "model of democracy"~in a "tone-deaf manner"~bordering on the obscene~on the "remaining" Eelam Tamils~who continue to face genocide "on a daily basis" in Sri Lanka~is cause for deep international alarm.  "In the face" of what is now globally considered incontrovertible evidence of the heinous acts of genocide perpetrated on a mass scale by Sri Lanka's current neo-Nazi Sinhala fascist Rajapakse regime on its own dark-skinned ethnic minority Eelam Tamil population~it is IMPERATIVE The United States "at a minimum" use its global political reach~the world's only remaining Super Power status~to push for IMMEDIATE war crimes investigations at The International Criminal Court, in The Hague, The Netherlands~at the earliest POSSIBLE opportunity~"already" TWO-AND-A-HALF CALENDAR YEARS "after" the successful mass-scale 2009 genocide on Tamils by Rajapakse.

On the "one hand" 
"Authorities [at The International Criminal Court in The Hague, The Netherlands] successfully extradited the former Bosnian Serb army chief [Ratko Mladic] to the war crimes tribunal in The Hague to face accusations including a genocide charge over the killing of about 7,500 [seven thousand five hundred] Bosnian Muslim men and boys at Srebrenica in 1995":  http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-13607980.  This "in spite of THE FACT" that Ratko Mladic committed his alleged crimes against humanity in the 1990's [Please see the line that states:  Gen[eral] Mladic faces genocide charges over atrocities committed during the Bosnian conflict in the 1990s.]  In other words General Mladic committed his crimes long "before" the July 2002 date the "Rome Statute" "EVEN" became *INTERNATIONAL* *ENFORCEABLE* *LAW*  Sri Lanka's "non-signatory status" in the "Rome Statute" is quoted "famously" and "ad nauseum" by officers at The International Criminal Court as the "official excuse" for the court's fulfilling NOT its internationally-funded mandate~the court's *FAILING* to actively pursue *INDEPENDENT* *INTERNATIONAL* *CREDIBLE* investigations into Sri Lanka's crimes against humanity:  http://www.mail.com/int/news/world/456004-sri-lanka-video-executions-abuse-corpses.html#.2394-stage-teaser1-6

in what Australian citizen and former United Nations official Gordon Weiss has termed "Sri Lanka's Srebrenica Moment":
http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/world/sri-lanka-faces-its-srebrenica-moment/story-e6frg6ux-1226043466322
and The International Criminal Court in The Hague, The Netherlands [to-date~as of February 7th, 2012] *HAS TAKEN ZERO ACTION*~to hold the perpetrators of Tamil *GENOCIDE* in Sri Lanka "accountable" for allegations of War Crimes and Crimes Against Humanity.

200,000 [two hundred thousand]~perhaps as many as three hundred and thirty thousand~UNARMED, dark-skinned ethnic minority civilian Eelam Tamils were "bamboozled" by Sri Lanka's nakedly genocidal neo-Nazi Sinhala fascist President Mahinda Rajapakse~into what he called a "safe-from-shelling" "no-fire zone"~in the *IDENTICAL* manner adopted by Ratko Mladic [currently facing *GENOCIDE* charges at The International Criminal Court in The Hague].  Civilian Eelam Tamils were slaughtered "after" months and months of being "planfully starved into submission" *BY* Rajapakse~once again~in the *IDENTICAL* manner adopted by Ratko Mladic [currently facing *GENOCIDE* charged at The International Criminal Court in The Hague]
*Sadly* [for the international community~fully funding the international mandate of the court] TWO-AND-A-HALF CALENDAR YEARS AFTER THE 2009 *GENOCIDE* of dark-skinned ethnic minority Tamils in Sri Lanka *NO INTERNATIONAL PROCEEDINGS* against the nakedly genocidal neo-Nazi Sinhala fascists responsible for the *GENOCIDE* of Tamils have  even "begun" in The International Criminal Court~the "appropriate authority" for trying "international"  *WAR CRIMES* and *CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY*

You will note that United Nations Chief Ban Ki-moon was "against" releasing his "own" UN report on Sri Lanka's war crimes: http://www.theweekendleader.com/Causes/475/Rajapaksa%E2%80%99s-paranoia.html~and has publicly stated that "Sri Lanka is responsible for conducting its own war crimes inquiries."
How strange given that Serbia's Ratko Mladic [in stark contrast to Sri Lanka's Rajapakse] was *NEVER* *ONCE* expected to "hold himself accountable" for HIS OWN WAR CRIMES!
You will note also that United States Undersecretary of State Robert Blake~a "personal college [university] friend of Rajapakse's since their days together at Oxford University" has "sided with his old school chum" and publicly stated that "Our strong preference is that the Sri Lankan government establish its own transparent process..."   http://www.bbc.co.uk/sinhala/news/story/2011/04/110405_geeel.shtml
How "strange" given that Serbia's Ratko Mladic [in stark contrast to Sri Lanka's Rajapakse] was *NEVER* *ONCE* expected to "hold himself accountable" for HIS OWN WAR CRIMES!
In "a just world"~public statements such as those made by United States Undersecretary of State Robert Blake on "Sri Lanka's *GENOCIDE* of Tamils" would make him an "accessory" to the international crime of *GENOCIDE*

While the United Nations has officially and formally and legally lifted bans on former Taliban~Taliban personnel who have historically posed and continue to pose *direct and dramatic military threats* to foreign targets in the United States, in Canada, in Australia and in Europe~in a manner *NEVER ONCE CONTEMPLATED* by LTTE~a similar lifting of the ban on former LTTE "dirty Tamil Tiger rebels" personnel is distinctly and definitely *NOT* being considered by the United Nations~let alone effected.  Similarly~Afghan President Karzai "confirmed" on June 18th, 2011 that the United States is "in direct peace talks with the Taliban."  Since the Taliban are so intricately and inextricably linked to al-Qaeda~operationally and organizationally and culturally~the UN's move to remove former Taliban from its "terror list"~the US engaging in direct peace talks with the Taliban~speaks proverbial "volumes" about the political powerlessness within the international Tamil-speaking community~to protect and safe-guard their own community members' internationally "guaranteed" political and legal and *BASIC* human rights.
An "added irony"~and insult~to the unjust treatment of Liberation Tigers by The United States~labeling them "terrorists"~lumping them in with al-Qaeda and the Taliban~acting at the "beck and call" of the neo-Nazi Sinhala fascist Rajapakse regime~is the fresh springing up of the hydra that is Islamic fundamentalism in the Eastern Batticaloa province of Sri Lanka~a scenario *literally unheard of* while the territory remained under the control of Liberation Tigers [before 2009.]  The "latest" incident demonstrating "evidence" of spreading Islamic fundamentalism in Sri Lanka involved two seventeen-year old girls falsely arrested~"allegedly"~for "viewing unsuitable material at an internet cafe."

It's absolutely thrilling and exciting [sarcastically stated!-of course!] that President Obama~not to mention President Obama's official spokesperson Jay Carney~[sarcastically stated!-of course!] had"time to spare" [on June 13th, 2011]~to make "public" "official" statements re. the "Anthony Weiner situation" [a matter for Weiner's congressional constituents to decide~not for President Obama~Weiner has since resigned]~while neither President Obama nor his multitude of official spokespersons~including current White House Press Secretary Jay Carney~or his predecessor~have had "time to spare" [over the period of *TWO-AND-A-HALF CALENDAR YEARS*-since 2009]~to publicly and "officially" condemn the unapologetic *slaughter* of what *TRUSTED* *RELIABLE* *INTERNATIONAL* sources have *been saying* [since 2009] are as many as 330,000 [three hundred and thirty thousand]~[The TimesOnLine article with the headline '1,400 Tamil civilians a week dying at Manik Farm concentration camp' is NO LONGER AVAILABLE ONLINE WITHOUT A SUBSCRIPTION~SADLY~and perhaps MOST CONVENIENTLY for the genocidal Sri Lankan State:  http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/asia/article6676792.ece]~unarmed dark-skinned ethnic minority Eelam Tamil civilians in Sri Lanka.

President Obama had the distinct privilege~in his capacity as America's first "self-designated" African-American President~of viewing "official" US State Department satellite imagery in "real time"~in 2009~while there was "still time" for him to "officially" *ACT* to stop the senseless mass slaughter [*GENOCIDE*] of dark-skinned ethnic minority Tamils in Sri Lanka~at the hands of the neo-Nazi Sinhala fascist dictator Rajapakse regime~in the way that US president Abraham Lincoln *ACTED* decisively~to end slavery in America~in the way that US President Roosevelt *ACTED*~decisively~to end the Nazi occupation of Europe in WWII.
Instead President Obama "pretended" in 2009 that *NOTHING* "unusual" was "going on."  He pretends *STILL*~in 2011~and in 2012~that *NOTHING* untoward or "unusual" has taken place [!] in Sri Lanka~since he *continues* sending "congratulatory messages"~to the nakedly and unapologetically genocidal Rajapakse regime-as "recently" as in May 2011 [May 2011] when he "sent" US "counter-terrorism expert" David KilCullen*to* Sri Lanka~in order to ADD his "official-Obama-applause-and-support-machine" to Sri Lanka's Chinese-military-contractor-sponsored  "celebrations: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-south-asia-13570810" of the genocide: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/media/tv-radio/c4-tests-boundaries-of-broadcasting-with-sri-lanka-expos233-2295499.html it has so successfully perpetrated against its own dark-skinned ethnic minority Tamil population.

"Naturally"~as per "usual-political-and-Obama-practice"~the US State Department spokesperson "officially denied" that any "official representative" had been sent by The United States~to participate in the Chinese military-contractor-sponsored "Sinhala State Celebration of Tamil Genocide."

This President Obama June 13th, 2011:  "Wiener-must-go-statement" vs. "Sri Lanka's GENOCIDE ON TAMILS NON-STATEMENT TWO YEARS LATER" type judgment call is called "perspective."  You [the reader} will note that President Obama boasted frequently on the 2008 Presidential Campaign Trail that it was his "exquisite judgment"~compared to the IMPLICITLY "poor judgment of others"~that has led to his glorious success in life and in politics.

While Senator Kerry is ABSOLUTELY TO BE CONGRATULATED for his "political courage" and foresight~in stepping out in FRONT OF his "Hope and Change President" Obama~to call for Egypt's dictator to step aside~PEACEFULLY~it MUST BE POINTED OUT that Egypt's President Hosni Mubarak~for all the myriad travesties of his nearly 30-year reign as DICTATOR OF EGYPT~CANNOT "justifiably" be accused of crimes against humanity.  MOST unfortunately the same CANNOT be said of Sri Lanka's current DICTATOR Mahinda Rajapakse~whom Senator Kerry has NEVER ONCE criticized in public~for his alleged CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY~with "similar" public statements to the one reported here~of whom Senator Kerry has NEVER ASKED THAT HE STOP HARASSING AND MURDERING "CRITICAL" JOURNALISTS AND STEP ASIDE PEACEFULLY.  A "similar Administration strategy"~mirroring the Obama Administration "strategy" on Sri Lanka has been consistently employed to confront the pro-democracy demonstrators in Egypt~sending US envoy Frank Wisner~to say what the Administration REALLY MEANT TO SAY [Stay Mubarak! Stay!]~in the same way the Administration has CONSISTENTLY supported the nakedly genocidal neo-Nazi fascist regime of Sri Lanka's Rajapakse~by sending US envoy after US envoy to Sri Lanka to "encourage and demonstrate United States support" for the nakedly genocidal neo-Nazi fascist Sinhala regime in Sri Lanka.  The "latest" installment of President Obama's unwavering ONGOING commitment and support~in 2011~and in 2012~for Sri Lanka's neo-Nazi Sinhala fascist regime~has been verbalized through The Administration's mouthpiece~undersecretary of State Robert Blake~continuing to *INSIST*~in the face of incontrovertible evidence of egregious war crimes~far exceeding the horrors in Qaddafi's Libya~that the Obama administration STILL HOPED that Sri Lanka's own domestic means of looking into these deaths would be effective~and the "preferable and PRAISEWORTHY [Obama Administration] option."

Isn't it SWEET??? [Sarcastically stated!~Of course!]~that a nakedly and persistently and "celebratedly" genocidal neo-Nazi Sinhala fascist has ALL THE TIME IN THE WORLD to "worry" about a few insignificant cricket song cheer lyrics [!] leaving the US CIA [The Central Intelligence Agency] to DO ALL THE WORRYING [the CIA [widely believed to be COMPLETELY INDEPENDENT OF THE LIBERATION TIGERS OF TAMIL EELAM] over the DECIMATION of the dark-skinned ethnic minority population in Sri Lanka:  https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/ce.html PLEASE CLICK ON "PEOPLE" AND THEN SCROLL DOWN TO "ETHNIC GROUPS"~WHERE DARK-SKINNED ETHNIC MINORITY SRI LANKAN TAMILS ARE SAID TO COMPRISE 3.9% [three point nine percent] OF SRI LANKA'S POPULATION~having been DECIMATED from the 1949 level of 15% [fifteen percent]~by SUCCESSIVE neo-Nazi Sinhala fascist administrations which have "governed" Sri Lanka~since 1949.

On the one hand: 
After India's victory over Sri Lanka's cricket team in the World Cup final~in April 2011~the BBC's headline read:  "Joy in India and desolation [the word "desolation" was later changed to "despair"] in Sri Lanka after cricket World Cup" http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-south-asia-12948024
On the other hand:
After the slaughter of possibly as many as TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND [UNFORTUNATELY the article that "originally appeared" on the web site:  http://www.independent.co.uk/
as http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/asia/sri-lanka-accused-of-war-crimes-in-final-onslaught-1975611.html~no longer appears to be "available" online~an *IMMENSE* convenience~no doubt~for the nakedly genocidal neo-Nazi Sinhala fascist regime of Mahinda Rajapakse~still "firmly entrenched" in luxurious power]
dark-skinned ethnic minority Tamils~by their OWN neo-Nazi Sinhala fascist government~led by Mahinda Rajapakse~in May 2009~the BBC's published words read:  "Whoever masterminded the war victory, most Sri Lankans are heartily glad it is all over"
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/8690408.stm
Whatever "happened" to the "concept" "despair" or even of "UTTER desolation" over the outright slaughter of what COULD BE THREE HUNDRED AND THIRTY THOUSAND HUMAN BEINGS???  Whatever "happened" to the "concept" of holding neo-Nazi fascist dictators ACCOUNTABLE for their crimes against humanity???  Or is that SO WWII???  SO "out-of-date"??? that it's not "even" funny???

While the government of India busies itself assisting the Sri Lankan government in building thousands of homes to benefit ONLY majority ethnic group Sinhala~Tamil victims of Sri Lankan government genocide live in tents exposed to the elements~or in the open~with NO SHELTER~as many as  2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 years "after" their homes were destroyed by Sri Lankan government bombs and heavy artillery shelling.
 
On the one hand:
The Syrian Human Rights Information Link reported [on April 26th, 2011] that at least 416 people had died since March 18 [2011] in incidents linked to the violence perpetrated by Syria's totalitarian regime. The group named 413 of those killed and cited three unidentified bodies.  While the vast majority are apparently civilians, the group's list described a few of the dead as members of the army or police~and The U.N. Security Council experienced no difficulty "focusing" on Syria~as it mulled over a statement condemning the Syrian dictator's violence against his own citizens~perhaps "confirmation" of Mr. Ban's bigotry and racism against dark-skinned Eelam Tamils~expressed by INACTION and ENDLESS DELAY in *OFFICIALLY* condemning Sri Lanka for its SYSTEMATIC GENOCIDE ON TAMILS.
On the one hand:
The Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad~began murdering and assaulting his own citizenry~"even more violently than is usual for him"~during the weekend of July 30th/July31st, 2011~and the United Nations Security Council has ALREADY [highly ethically, highly honorably, highly justly] ISSUED A STRONG STATEMENT OF CONDEMNATION~condemning the Syrian regime's violence against its own people~and a FULL U.N. Security Council Resolution CONDEMNING Syria has "already" [October 5th, 2011] been submitted *and* successfully vetoed by China and Russia with abstentions by India, Lebanon and South Africa."
On the other hand:
After the slaughter of possibly as many as THREE HUNDRED AND THIRTY THOUSAND dark-skinned ethnic minority Tamils~by their OWN neo-Nazi Sinhala fascist government~led by Mahinda Rajapakse~in May 2009~the U.N. Security Council has YET TO RECONSIDER [as of February 7th, 2012] AND *OFFICIALLY* REVERSE [as of February 7th, 2012] ITS RESOLUTION CONGRATULATING SRI LANKA ON ITS SLAUGHTER OF UNARMED EELAM TAMIL CIVILIANS IN 2009.
A "second" U.N. Security Council Resolution condemning al-Assad's slaughtering of his own citizens was tragically "once again" and "characteristically" vetoed by Russia and China on February 4th, 2012.
While 200 Syrian officials resigned almost "immediately" in protest of the Syrian government's brutal treatment of its own citizens~history indicates that NO "similar number" of SINHALA OFFICIALS IN THE TOTALITARIAN NEO-NAZI FASCIST SRI LANKAN GOVERNMENT would even "dream" of contemplating protesting the Sri Lankan government's brutality towards its Tamil citizenry and its Sinhala citizenry in a similar manner~by resigning in protest~thereby making international intervention by The International Criminal Court an even greater~and even more dire and absolute necessity.

To quote DIRECTLY from a "fairly typical" BBC news report on the "situation" confronting dark-skinned ethnic minority Eelam Tamils ATTEMPTING to "stay alive" in Sri Lanka~this one reported by The BBC's reporter "on the ground" in Colombo~Charles Haviland~dated February 21st, 2011 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-south-asia-12526490 in the following several paragraphs:  Vellupillai Prabhakaran founded the Tigers in the 1970s in pursuit of a homeland for the island's Tamil minority.
It's more ACCURATE to state:  "Velupillai Prabhakaran [some Tamils spell his name "Prabaharan"] founded an organization with the title LIBERATION TIGERS OF TAMIL EELAM [LTTE].  LTTE was formed SPECIFICALLY TO OPPOSE and OBSTRUCT the NAKED GENOCIDE~being perpetrated WITH COMPLETE AND UTTER IMPUNITY ON dark-skinned ethnic minority Eelam Tamils in Sri Lanka~UNOPPOSED and UNIMPEDED FOR DECADE UPON DECADE BY THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY.  Contrary to what APPEARS to be "popular belief" LIBERATION TIGERS OF TAMIL EELAM [LTTE] was not founded for the "sheer joy and pleasure" of pursuing "a separate Tamil homeland-Eelam"~for the SAKE OF IT."  UNFORTUNATELY for dark-skinned ethnic minority Tamils in Sri Lanka~the relentless nakedly genocidal neo-Nazi Sinhala fascist administrations in Sri Lanka~dating back to 1949 have left NO OTHER POLITICAL OPTIONS OPEN for dark-skinned ethnic minority Eelam Tamils in Sri Lanka~persons who wish not to have their lives decimated~before they even begin.
The GENOCIDE confronted by LTTE for DECADES was being perpetrated BY ethnic "majority" Sinhala government administrations of Sri Lanka~ever since 1949~long "before" Mr. Prabhakaran was born.  UNAPOLOGETICALLY genocidal neo-Nazi Sinhala fascist administrations have "governed" Sri Lanka ever since the British Colonial power "officially" handed over political power to the Sinhala on the island of Sri Lanka in 1949"~long before Mr. Charles Haviland or Dr. Gunasegaram were "even" born.
The BBC~when "confronted" by written correspondence and e-mail messages regarding the CIA report [United States Central Intelligence Agency Report] regarding the DECIMATION IN POPULATION of dark-skinned ethnic minority Eelam Tamils~beginning in 1949 and continuing through to the present day on February 7th, 2012~CONSISTENTLY REFUSES to be "confused by the facts."  "JUST IN CASE"~YOU [the reader of this web page] ARE INTERESTED~here's what the CIA
[widely believed to be COMPLETELY INDEPENDENT OF "the dirty Tamil Tiger LTTE terrorists"~THE LIBERATION TIGERS OF TAMIL EELAM]
tells us about the DECIMATION of the dark-skinned ethnic minority Eelam Tamil population in Sri Lanka~since 1949:  https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/ce.html PLEASE CLICK ON "PEOPLE" AND THEN SCROLL DOWN TO "ETHNIC GROUPS"~WHERE ETHNIC SRI LANKAN TAMILS ARE SAID TO COMPRISE 3.9% [three point nine percent] OF SRI LANKA'S POPULATION~having been DECIMATED from the 1949 level of 15% [fifteen percent]~by SUCCESSIVE neo-Nazi Sinhala fascist administrations which have "governed" Sri Lanka~since 1949.

To quote DIRECTLY from the above-mentioned "typical" BBC news report  http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-south-asia-12526490:  Prabhakaran's wife and children also died.
Once again~fairly "typically"~The BBC makes it SOUND AS IF~perhaps with "characteristic British Reserve~stiff upper lip and all that old chap!"~AS IF Mr. Prabhakaran's wife and children died of NATURAL CAUSES.  One of Mr. Prabhakaran's sons was all of TWELVE YEARS OLD.  Therefore it would be more accurate to state:  "Mr. Prabhakaran's UNARMED wife and AT MINIMUM ONE UNARMED CHILD were GUNNED DOWN IN COLD BLOOD~they were BRUTALLY MURDERED-[in the same way that hundreds of thousands of UNARMED dark-skinned ethnic minority Eelam Tamils in Sri Lanka have been MURDERED since 1949]~and more recently-more "immediately"~BY the NAKEDLY GENOCIDAL TOTALITARIAN Sinhala fascist forces of Sri Lanka's CURRENT Military Dictator Mahinda Rajapakse."

To quote DIRECTLY from the above-mentioned "typical" BBC piece  http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-south-asia-12526490:
His parents entered a refugee camp but were then taken into military custody until the death of Mr Vellupillai [Mr. Prabhakaran's father] in January 2010.
The BBC makes it SOUND AS IF Mr. Velupillai [Mr. Prabakharan's father] "died peacefully and naturally and normally."
It's more accurate to state that:  "Mr. Prabhakaran's parents were *REPEATEDLY DENIED ACCESS* to the "most basic" medical care DEMANDED BY HUMANITARIAN CONCERNS~medical care they so DESPERATELY NEEDED in their old age and in their extreme frailty.  They were DENIED "basic medical care BY the SADISTIC NAKEDLY GENOCIDAL NEO-NAZI SINHALA FASCIST REGIME of Sri Lanka's current ruling SINHALA DICTATOR-MAHINDA RAJAPAKSE."

To quote DIRECTLY from the above-mentioned "typical" BBC piece  http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-south-asia-12526490:
The rebels were seeking a separate state for ethnic minority Eelam Tamils, claiming discrimination by the majority Sinhalese.
No doubt~Mr. Haviland~was exercising the most exquisite "politeness" in describing *SYSTEMATIC GENOCIDE* perpetrated for DECADE UPON DECADE BY the "majority" ethnic Sinhala~perpetrated ON dark-skinned ethnic minority Eelam Tamils in Sri Lanka as "discrimination."  As a dark-skinned ethnic minority Eelam Tamil who lived with her family in Colombo, Sri Lanka~FLEEING as a DIRECT result of SYSTEMATIC GENOCIDE~furiously unleashed on dark-skinned ethnic minority Eelam Tamils by "majority Sinhala" armed thugs and neo-Nazi Sinhala fascist armed forces~as one who has been "teased"by Tamils "themselves" for speaking her mother tongue [Tamil] with an "English accent"~Dr. Gunasegaram knows from firsthand "experience" that dark-skinned ethnic minority Eelam Tamils THEMSELVES have "contributed" to the major misconceptions regarding their treatment at the "hands of the Sinhala majority"~by their failure and ineptness in speaking and writing and broadcasting English correctly~by their failure to accurately characterize the GENOCIDE they have faced as a people~since 1949.
Perhaps Tamils themselves can be faulted for employing phrases like "communal violence"~to describe the periodic outbursts of GENOCIDE perpetrated by members of Sri Lanka's Sinhala ethnic majority AGAINST dark-skinned ethnic minority Eelam Tamils~since 1949.

When a Libyan "civilian" man bravely sacrificed his life for the sake of democracy and freedom in 2011~CNN reported the story in the following manner:  LIBYA:  Man sacrifices life, family mourns.  "Naturally" CNN had NO SUCH WORDS *or* REPORTING SPACE to "spare" for dark-skinned ethnic minority civilian Eelam Tamils in 2009~engaging in the IDENTICAL METHODS EMPLOYED BY LIBYANS IN 2011~to THWART THE GENOCIDE of their ENTIRE ETHNIC MINORITY GROUP IN SRI LANKA~in 2009.  This occurred IN SPITE of countless webmail messages sent DAILY by diaspora Tamils in north America to CNN's "intrepid" Anderson Cooper and to CNN.NEWS.com in 2009~during the worst of the genocide of ethnic Tamils in Sri Lanka in 2009.

The BBC's December 2010 "exam story" is a "another" perfect EXAMPLE of an "utterly meaningless story"~UTTERLY meaningless~*ONLY* in the context of THE COMPLETE ABSENCE OF *BASIC* *FUNDAMENTAL* DEMOCRATIC FREEDOMS FOR TAMILS IN SRI LANKA because of the COMPLETE ABSENCE of BASIC, FUNDAMENTAL democratic freedoms~for dark-skinned ethnic minority Eelam Tamils in Sri Lanka~in 2011~ and into the "present day"~in 2012.  There has been ABSOLUTELY *NO* INDEPENDENT VERIFICATION [BY The BBC] for the almost UNIVERSALLY and BLATANTLY *FALSE* statements~published by the cartload~by the boatload~by The BBC [as above] on "behalf" of the nakedly genocidal  neo-Nazi Sinhala fascist regime of Sri Lanka's President Rajapakse [!]  The BBC and other Western news agencies ~like _The Economist_~have been "consistent" in their fathomless "gullibility" in the UNCHECKED PUBLISHING of the Sri Lankan government's COMPLETELY FABRICATED FALSE PROPAGANDA~since 2005~nothing "new."
It must be SO *MUCH* EASIER for nakedly genocidal neo-Nazi Sinhala fascists to "permit" a handful of so-called "Tamil Tigers" to take completely meaningless exams ["utterly meaningless exams" *ONLY* in the context of the COMPLETE ABSENCE of BASIC, FUNDAMENTAL democratic freedoms~for dark-skinned ethnic minority Eelam Tamils in Sri Lanka] than it is for the totalitarian Sinhala neo-fascists to simply GRANT the BASIC HUMAN RIGHTS that dark-skinned ethnic minority Eelam Tamils in Sri Lanka have been requesting~ever since 1949.

We have ONLY Sri Lankan government "propaganda" as a "source" that the persons described in the BBC "exam story"[above] [a story which "proverbially" travels halfway 'round the world!~while the truth is still putting on its shoes!] are *INDEED* *TRULY* "Tamil Tigers" who've taken the completely "meaningless" exams~and *NOT* a handful of the tens of thousands of INNOCENT UNWITTING ethnic Tamils "caught in the terrifying crossfire" BETWEEN so-called [so-called~as in *LEGALLY* UNVERIFIED] "Tamil Tigers" and totalitarian government forces.
It is "time" for "civilized" and "civilizing forces" SUCH AS The BBC, _The Economist_ [and other news agencies] to employ their vast democratically proscribed POWERS to DEMAND that that the NAKEDLY GENOCIDAL NEO-NAZI FASCISTS in Sri Lanka grant the "normal" "basic" freedoms to dark-skinned ethnic minority Eelam Tamils in Sri Lanka~freedoms that *ALL* democracies "habitually" and "normally" grant to *ALL* THEIR CITIZENRY~and to *STOP* "enabling" the TOTALITARIAN neo-Nazi Sinhala fascist regime in Sri Lanka in its fathomless WICKEDNESS~with such "useless" stories [!]~about so-called "Tamil Tigers" taking utterly "meaningless exams" ["utterly meaningless exams" *ONLY* in the context of the COMPLETE ABSENCE of BASIC, FUNDAMENTAL democratic freedoms~for dark-skinned ethnic minority Eelam Tamils in Sri Lanka].

What The BBC's Colombo, Sri Lanka "reporter-on-the-ground" Mr.  Charles Haviland refers to~so "typically" for him~as [the neo-Nazi Sinhala fascist Rajapakse regime's] "VICTORY"~Mr. Haviland has also been known for his extensive use of the words "war victory" in other pieces~NON-BBC others describe~perhaps WITH GREATER CLARITY as GENOCIDAL BRUTALITY AGAINST *UNARMED* *NON-COMBATANT* TAMIL CIVILIANS including pregnant women and children and the elderly:  http://www.opendemocracy.net/asanga-welikala/sri-lanka-war-crimes-and-accountability 

To "hear" The BBC "tell it":  Rwanda and Srebrenica are "actually" WAR VICTORIES for the perpetrators of GENOCIDE [http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-16599778]:  "Sri Lankan government forces defeated Tamil Tiger rebels fighting for a separate homeland in May 2009 after 26 years of civil war" [Please see THIRD PARAGRAPH DOWN FROM THE TOP:  17 January 2012 Last updated at 10:47 ET ] .  It ***IS*** indeed "within the realm of possibility" for The BBC to be "informed" by the "moral example" set by The French Senate~which passed legislation effectively BANNING THE DENIAL OF THE GENOCIDE OF ARMENIANS BY OTTOMAN TURKEY.  It *IS* "possible" to "imagine" that PUBLIC AND OFFICIAL DENIALS of THE TAMIL GENOCIDE BY SRI LANKA will one day "also be banned-legislatively."
While other respected new agencies and INTERNATIONALLY-CREDIBLE independent entities have employed terms like *CRIMES* and *GENOCIDE* and carefully-planned-in-advance mass murder to describe the actions of Sri Lankan government forces in 2009 and "ongoing" in 2012~it is NOTEWORTHY that writers, editors, and broadcasters at the highly esteemed The BBC
~CONTINUE IN 2012~MOST RECENTLY ON 17 January 2012 Last updated at 10:47 ET~employing the term "defeated" and "civil war" http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-16599778 PLEASE SEE "Sri Lankan government forces defeated Tamil Tiger rebels fighting for a separate homeland in May 2009 after 26 years of civil war" [Please see THIRD PARAGRAPH DOWN FROM THE TOP:  17 January 2012 Last updated at 10:47 ET]~and "military"..and "victory"http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-15787672~[Please see FIFTH PARAGRAPH DOWN FROM THE TOP]~to describe the neo-Nazi Sinhala fascist totalitarian Sri Lankan government's actions in the cold-blooded slaughter of dark-skinned ethnic minority Eelam Tamils in Sri Lanka [http://www.channel4.com/news/wikileaks-sri-lanka-leadership-responsible-for-crimes]
Are the words "military"..."victory"??? the IDENTICAL WORDS that The BBC employed/continues to employ to describe the GENOCIDES perpetrated in Rwanda and Srebrenica as well???
Perhaps "even" THE GENOCIDE in Sudan???
Perhaps "even" the genocide perpetrated by Turks on Kurds???

Just curious

On July 24th, 2011 The BBC reported that The Tamil National Alliance (TNA)~widely viewed as the political proxy of the LTTE~took 18 out of 26 councils in what is being seen as a rare electoral setback for the [nakedly genocidal neo-Nazi Sinhala fascist dictatorship [the Tamil language BBC report says 17 out of 26 council seats]~incapable of conducting free and fair elections~at the best of times~let alone while it faces serious war crimes allegations in the international arena] government of President Rajapakse.  The BBC's Charles Haviland in Colombo said on July 24th, 2011 that Sri Lanka's "latest" election results indicate that "ethnic polarisation is still an issue in the country."  "Typically"~Mr. Haviland's breathtaking understatements continue to scream distinctly "at odds" with reporting from other established and valued sources~sources which characterize the "daily" conditions facing dark-skinned ethnic minority Eelam Tamils in Sri Lanka~in 2011~and in 2012~with greater accuracy~and with somewhat less breathtaking cynicism~as genocide.
While Mr. Haviland reports the neo-Nazi Sinhala fascist totalitarian Sri Lankan government's "media contortions" as "efforts at reconciliation"~other BBC colleagues report of no fewer than SEVEN CURRENT AND ACTIVE-IN-2011-TORTURE CENTERS~and presumably "still" in 2012~owned and operated BY THE SRI LANKAN GOVERNMENT IN 2011~and in 2012.

Dark-skinned ethnic minority Eelam Tamils have declined from 15% [fifteen percent] of the Sri Lankan population to 3.9% [three point nine percent] of the Sri Lankan population [CIA World Factbook~please see "Sri Lankan Tamil" 3.9%~at the top of the linked page] a decimation in population resulting from both a DIRECT~as well as an INDIRECT result~of relentless genocidal acts perpetrated against them by successive genocidal neo-Nazi fascist Sri Lankan Sinhala administrations~dating back to 1949~[30 years prior to 1979~in other words looooooong before the founding of the genocide-opposing~liberty-seeking LTTE in 1979~long before the birth of the founding members of LTTE]~or of the Tamil National Alliance~and continued currently by the totalitarian government of the neo-Nazi fascist Sinhala President Mahinda Rajapakse]~now~even "after" the so-called "military defeat" of  the LTTE on May 18th, 2009~even AFTER the so-called "triumph over terrorists."

To Place The Unapologetic Genocide and Ethnic Cleansing of Dark-Skinned Ethnic Minority Eelam Tamils in Sri Lanka in Some Global Perspective: 
"200"
On the "one hand"
"More than 200 decomposing bodies have been found abandoned at a hospital in a district of the Libyan capital, Tripoli, that has seen fierce fighting"~and this "news" APPROPRIATELY, HONORABLY, CORRECTLY, JUSTLY made "Top Story" on the "front page" of The BBC Home Web Site on August 26th, 2011.

"330,000"
On the "other hand"
*POSSIBLY* more than 330,000 [three hundred and thirty thousand] unarmed, noncombatant, dark-skinned, ethnic minority Eelam Tamils civilians were SLAUGHTERED planfully, methodically, with
carefully and minutely choreographed military and media precision by the nakedly genocidal neo-Nazi Sinhala fascist government of Sri Lanka's President Rajapakse~and this "news" has *yet* to make anything *near* The Top BBC News Story on BBC News Home Web Page Front Page News on ANY DAY~since 2006~and continuing through to this day in 2012~as Rajapakse's "Final Solution" and deadly campaign to exterminate dark-skinned ethnic minority Eelam Tamils in Sri Lanka continues unabated.
Sadly it has been "left" to NON-BBC NON-UNITED NATIONS NON-UNITED STATES NON-"ESTABLISHMENT" "relatively" [compared to the vast "reach" of The BBC News Service] powerless, VoiceLess "others" to "bring" these stories to the "Front Page" of  any international news readers' attention.

On the "one hand"
1,200 people died and more than 500,000 fled homes in the TRAGIC violence in Kenya~in 2007~and The International Criminal Court~through its Chief Prosecutor Mr. Luis Moreno-Ocampo said:  "These were not just crimes against innocent Kenyans.  They were crimes against humanity", suggesting to all who watch and listen that from the "math" ["maths" in British English] perspective of the International Criminal Court:  1,200 KENYANS are ACTUALLY "more" than 330,000 UNARMED, UNPROTECTED, ETHNIC TAMILS in Sri Lanka.
On the "other hand" conservative estimates suggest that:  A "MINIMUM" of 75,000 [seventy-five THOUSAND]~more *PROBABLY* 330,000 [two hundred thousand]~UNARMED, civilian, dark-skinned ethnic minority Eelam Tamils were "slaughtered in cold blood" by Sri Lanka's brutally militarized totalitarian government forces in Northern and Eastern Sri Lanka commencing more than 5 years ago~in 2006~under ceaseless artillery bombardments and ceaseless mortar fire for close to FOUR WHOLE YEARS~from 2006 until 2009~WHILE THE UN WAS WATCHING [!]~and The International Criminal Court has *YET TO OFFICIALLY OPEN AN INVESTIGATION* into these painstakingly well-documented acts of brutal *GENOCIDE* against *UNARMED* *UNPROTECTED* *CIVILIAN* dark-skinned ethnic minority Eelam Tamil citizens of Sri Lanka.

In spite of the fact that the nakedly genocidal neo-Nazi Sinhala fascist government of Sri Lanka "decided" on December 18th, 2010 to lift its travel-to-Sri Lanka-ban on the COMPLETELY TOOTHLESS and INEFFECTIVE and JUDICIALLY MANDATE-LESS UN Panel of Experts appointed by UN Chief Ban Ki-moon~*THERE ARE NO EXCUSES LEFT* for Prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo [Chief Prosecutor of The International Criminal Court in The Hague] FAILING to "travel in person" to Sri Lanka [EXACTLY AS HE TRAVELED TO KENYA IN 2007] to begin A CREDIBLE WAR CRIMES INVESTIGATION into the events which began to unfold in 2006~events which have resulted in the cold-blooded slaughter of hundreds of thousands of UNARMED, CIVILIAN dark-skinned ethnic minority Eelam Tamils ATTEMPTING TO LIVE PEACEABLY in the northern and eastern provinces of Sri Lanka.

On the "one hand"
North Korea's brutal military dictator engaged in A SINGLE WEEKEND of tragic and senseless bombing of South Korea [November 23rd, 2010] and The International Criminal Court has *ALREADY* [December 6th, 2010] begun its "investigations" into whether North Korea's unprovoked brutal military aggression constitutes "a war crime".  The "last time" anyone "checked"~North Korea~the *aggressor* in the matter described here~the agency "being investigated" BY The International Criminal Court~IS *NOT* A SIGNATORY TO THE "ROME STATUTE" [!] Surprise! Surprise! Surprise! 
[Naturally!~the FACT that UN Chief Ban Ki-moon is a South Korean citizen has NOTHING AT ALL TO DO with PRIORITIZING THE INVESTIGATION by the International Criminal Court~leading to an IMMEDIATE OPENING OF AN INTERNATIONALLY CREDIBLE INQUIRY into South Korean complaints of being bombed by North Korea [Sarcastically stated!~Of course!]].

On the "other hand" conservative estimates suggest that: A "MINIMUM" of 75,000 [seventy-five THOUSAND]~more *PROBABLY* 330,000 [three hundred and thirty thousand]~dark-skinned ethnic minority Eelam Tamils were "slaughtered in cold blood" by Sri Lanka's brutally militarized totalitarian government in Northern and Eastern Sri Lanka~more than two calendar years ago~January 2009 through May 2009~WHILE THE UN WAS WATCHING [!] and The International Criminal Court has *YET TO OFFICIALLY OPEN AN INVESTIGATION* into these well-documented acts of brutal *GENOCIDE* against *UNARMED* *UNPROTECTED* *CIVILIAN* dark-skinned ethnic minority Eelam Tamil citizens of Sri Lanka.
When Dr. Gunasegaram wrote "a snailmail" letter DIRECTLY to The International Criminal Court, The Hague, The Netherlands~on March 16th, 2009~requesting an *IMMEDIATE* investigation into the unspeakable war crimes allegations reported to the world by the international press~war crimes that were allegedly perpetrated by the totalitarian forces commanded by Sri Lanka's neo-Nazi Sinhala fascist regime~she received a rather condescendingly-worded snailmail rote response from The International Criminal Court stating the following [paraphrased] dated October 8th, 2009:  The *aggressor*~the neo-Nazi Sinhala fascist military dictatorship of Mahinda Rajapakse~cannot POSSIBLY be "investigated" by The International Criminal Court~BECAUSE~get this!~the government of Sri Lanka IS *NOT* A SIGNATORY TO THE "ROME STATUTE" [!]

Dr. Gunasegaram received "yet another" snailmail letter and a condescendingly-worded e-mail~in October/November 2010~from The International Criminal "explaining" and "reiterating" and "underlining" to "her-poor-dark-skinned-silly-Eelam-Tamil-woman-self" the following [paraphrased]:  The *aggressor* in Sri Lanka's war crimes~the neo-Nazi Sinhala fascist military dictatorship of Mahinda Rajapakse~cannot POSSIBLY be "investigated" by The International Criminal Court~BECAUSE~[get this!]~the government of Sri Lanka IS *NOT* A SIGNATORY TO THE "ROME STATUTE" [!]
*COULD* SUCH A STARK DISPARITY OF "RESPONSE" TO WAR CRIMES ALLEGATIONS~ON THE PART OF THE INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT IN THE HAGUE~on the part of the court's Chief Prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo~*POSSIBLY* be the result of naked racism~exhibited against dark-skinned ethnic minority Eelam Tamils in Sri Lanka???  [Heaven forbid! *NO ONE* wants to think this!]

To add "international approbation" to Sinhala insult to Eelam Tamil injuries~United Nations Chief Ban Ki-moon~as of February 7th, 2012~has *YET TO OFFICIALLY CONDEMN* [through the UN Security Council~as it HAS acted WITH AMAZING SPEED in conflicts in countries "other" than Sri Lanka] the nakedly genocidal neo-Nazi Sinhala fascist government of Sri Lankan President Rajapakse~the agency RESPONSIBLE for these SENSELESS and TRAGIC deaths.  In fact~INSTEAD OF CONDEMNATION~Sri Lanka's nakedly genocidal neo-Nazi fascist totalitarian President Rajapakse was "invited" by the UN to "beam" triumphantly all over New York City, USA~during the week of the UN meeting of September 20th, 2010~including enjoying the "usual" frequent photo opportunities and handshakes with the world's leaders~INCLUDING "airing" Rajapakse's suggestion to the UN General Assembly that The Geneva Convention be abolished [!]~since it's such A *NUISANCE* CONVENTION when applied to the treatment of GENOCIDE-RESISTING groups like Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam.
When a reporter queried US State Department official P. J. Crowley on US views regarding the demand by human rights watchdogs that the Sri Lankan president should be held responsible for war crimes and investigated by the International Criminal Court, Mr. Crowley responded: "[...] We continue to engage the  Sri Lankan Government [as it continues its NAKEDLY GENOCIDAL activities!~cheerily UNIMPEDED by the United States!] As we’ve said many times, it has a significant opportunity to transform the country, lift it above and beyond the recent conflict, and we certainly hope that the government will take advantage of that opportunity.”
AN *OPPORTUNITY* TO CONTINUE THE UNITED STATES' GOVERNMENT'S UNABATED COMPLICITY WITH THE SRI LANKAN GOVERNMENT'S GENOCIDE ON TAMILS~PERHAPS?~IS MR. CROWLEY'S TRUE MEANING? [Heaven Forbid!]

It's truly *WONDERFUL* and utterly *COMMENDABLE* that the United States' government stands "ready" [in 2011] to assist Bangladesh~in conducting "transparent" war crimes trials~into the allegations of crimes committed during Bangladesh's "war of independence" from Pakistan in the 1970's.

*HOWEVER*~it would have been EVEN MORE COMMENDABLE had President Obama [in particular] and US State Department officials [more generally] "responded appropriately" to the United States' State Department satellite imagery demonstrating in "real time"~as they watched "LIVE"~the horrendous CARNAGE inflicted by Sri Lanka's neo-Nazi totalitarian government forces against Tamils in Sri Lanka in 2009,  [President Obama watched "LIVE" as sworn enemy bin Laden was assassinated in May 2011.]

President Obama had the extraordinary privilege of actually VIEWING these satellite images~of the horrendous carnage inflicted by the nakedly genocidal-against-dark-skinned-ethnic-Eelam-Tamils by the nakedly genocidal-against-ethnic-Eelam-Tamils-NEO-NAZI SINHALA FASCIST regime of Sri Lanka's President Rajapakse~BEFORE President Obama traveled to Buchenwald [in April, 2009] and stood next to Elie Wiesel and Angela Merkel and "boasted openly" and "proudly" and "appropriately" and "fittingly" about a white uncle who defeated the Nazis.

In his bid to offer a more attractive candidacy to his Jewish constituency~during "Candidate" Obama's 2008 campaign for the US Presidency he found FREQUENT occasion to mention his white grandmother who had worked at a WWII munitions factory to manufacture munitions which "assisted" in the "eventual" [HIGHLY LAUDABLE] defeat of the Nazis.  This is an indication that "munitions" manufactured with the assistance of President Obama's grandmother are "just fine"~but the split second a a dark-skinned ethnic minority Eelam Tamil employs "munitions," or purchases "munitions," or makes plans to purchase "munitions" for the SOLE purpose of self-defence~for VITAL protection against *GENOCIDE* [perpetrated by neo-Nazi Sinhala fascists in Sri Lanka]~then those Tamils *MUST* be hounded, harassed and extradited from foreign countries [like Singapore] to be convicted as "terrorists" or "providers of material support to terrorists" within the United States legal system.

With LITTLE effort on President Obama's part~and in SPITE of the difficult and complicated and HORRIFIC situations in Iraq and Afghanistan~President Obama COULD HAVE ACTED in a "timely fashion" to PREVENT the GENOCIDE of what is estimated to be 3300,000 [THREE HUNDRED AND THIRTY THOUSAND] UNARMED, CIVILIAN dark-skinned ethnic minority Eelam Tamils in Sri Lanka in 2009.

Having so superbly FAILED to act to prevent the genocide of dark-skinned ethnic minority Eelam Tamils in Sri Lanka~in 2009~President Obama COULD be NOW calling for a CREDIBLE, INDEPENDENT, INTERNATIONAL, TRANSPARENT war crimes investigation~conducted by The International Criminal Court in The Hague.  Instead~President Obama released the following statement~via the U.S. State Department on October 30th, 2009:  "The United States looks to the [illegitimate~thanks to all Sri Lankan elections law violations by the ruling party] Government of Sri Lanka to identify an appropriate and credible mechanism and initiate a process for accountability."

In STARKEST CONTRAST to President Obama's/US State Department's PUBLIC STATEMENTS [above] "leaked" WikiLeaks cables demonstrate CLEARLY the United States envoy to Sri Lanka [Patricia Butenis] candid acknowledgment [in a diplomatic cable] that perpetrators of war crimes in Sri Lanka [Karuna, Pillayan, Iniyapaarathi, Rajapakse, Fonseka, Nanayakkara, Chandrasiri, Wijewickrema, Hathurusinghe, Jayasuriya, G. Donald Perera, Shavendra Silva] CANNOT be "expected" to hold themselves "accountable" for their OWN war crimes~for war crimes committed AT THEIR OWN HANDS [!]
The very IDEA that President Obama [with his publicly-spoken words] suggests they MIGHT [that the Sri Lankan President and his equally nakedly genocidal, neo-Nazi Sinhala fascist "compadres-in-genocide" MIGHT hold THEMSELVES "accountable" for WAR CRIMES COMMITTED BY THEY THEMSELVES] is UTTERLY and COMPLETELY preposterous.  While the Indian Supreme Court has ordered authorities in Chhattisgarh State to disband civilian militias like that operated in the northern and eastern provinces of Sri Lanka by Karuna and Pillayan and Iniyapaarathi~the Sri Lankan Supreme Court continues acting as the "mere puppet" of the nakedly genocidal neo-Nazi Sinhala fascist Rajapakse regime~all the while "claiming" vehemently and publicly and repeatedly to be working on "reconciliation"~leaving "ZERO POLITICAL SPACE" for legal opposition to the regime~and a bad taste in the mouths of dark-skinned ethnic minority Eelam Tamils in Sri Lanka.

Were any OTHER politician~OTHER than President Obama~say Sarah Palin to cite a COMPLETELY "random example"~to make such consistently preposterous and deeply unethical remarks [stating in PUBLIC STATEMENT after PUBLIC STATEMENT after PUBLIC STATEMENT after PUBLIC STATEMENT] that the nakedly genocidal neo-Nazi Sinhala fascists in power in Sri Lanka "ought to" hold themselves "accountable" for the CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY~that they themselves have committed~they would have been "laughed out of the political arena!"~a very long time ago.  *APPARENTLY*~regardless of "sense" EVERYTHING/ANYTHING "said by" or "stated publicly by" President Obama/his US State Department personnel is either "pure gold" or "INCOMPARABLE pearls of wisdom"~completely and utterly REGARDLESS OF "SENSE."

The PRIME AUTHORIZER of Tamil genocide in Sri Lanka~Sri Lanka's nakedly genocidal President Mahinda Rajapakse REMAINS~A CITIZEN OF THE UNITED STATES [!].  The PRIME PERPETRATOR of Tamil genocide in Sri Lanka~Rajapakse's "hit man" Retired Army Major General Sarath Fonseka is a CURRENT UNITED STATES GREEN CARD HOLDER [!]
These FACTS speak *VOLUMES* about WHO *exactly* IN THE WORLD "gets" and "keeps" US green cards~who "gets" and "keeps" US CITIZENSHIP STATUS.

_The Economist_ tells us [its readers] on November 25th, 2010:  "The Rajapakse clan is justifiably triumphant."  In other words:  "We at _The Economist_  ceaselessly APPLAUD and continue OUR DAILY CELEBRATIONS of Rajapakse's [NAKEDLY-GENOCIDAL-AGAINST-DARK-SKINNED-ETHNIC-MINORITY-EELAM-TAMILS] neo-Nazi Sinhala fascist "victory"~since Rajapakse HIMSELF is so patently INCAPABLE [Sarcastically stated!~Of course!] of celebrating HIS OWN CULT OF PERSONALITY~withOUT _The Economist's_ "able and valued assistance!"  To quote _The Economist_ DIRECTLY:  "And both India, in Kashmir, and China, in Tibet, have shown in their different ways that it is possible to keep a resentful local population in check for decades."  What *else* is there "left to say?"~when a publication like _The Economist_~a supposed "representative" of the world's "civilized and civilizing powers"~continuously celebrates and applauds the "genocidal achievements" [the Sinhala fascist subjugation of dark-skinned ethnic minority Eelam Tamils in Sri Lanka] in such a "hail-fellow-well-met!" openly genocidal, neo-fascist manner???

How "perfect" that the neo-Nazi Sinhala fascist government of Sri Lanka's STAUNCHEST most RELIABLE ally [China] in Sri Lanka's naked *GENOCIDE* against its dark-skinned ethnic minority Eelam Tamils~is labeling a dissident Nobel Peace-prize winner "a criminal"~and brutally persecuting other dissidents.  China's latest "behavior" toward its indescribably COURAGEOUS Nobel Peace Prize-winning dissident~not to mention toward dissident internationally-recognized artist Ai Weiwei~and less well-known dissidents like Hu Jia~and Liao Yiwu~will give readers of this page a small glimpse into the IDENTICAL TACTICS employed for DECADES by the neo-Nazi Sinhala fascists in Sri Lanka~who basically "label" dissidents "criminals" and slaughter them with complete impunity in cold blood.  Fortunately or unfortunately~depending on your point of view~the *ONLY* consistently reliable and effective "opposition" to these relentless neo-Nazi Sinhala fascist tactics were the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam [LTTE]~and its political proxy~widely recognized as the Tamil political party called the Tamil National Alliance.  Naturally~a parade of successive neo-Nazi Sinhala fascist governments of Sri Lanka have succeeded beyond their own "wildest dreams" by leaning on the United States and its allies against al-Qaeda to join it in its own "special brand" of neo-Nazi fascist ideology in "labeling" and effectively "classifying" all political opponents~writers~and journalist dissidents~in addition to the LTTE~members of "a terror group"~in spite of the fact ["Facts"~after all~are *SO* CONFUSING!] that NOT ONE SINGLE MEMBER of LTTE has *EVER* [inside the span of 30-years] posed ANY SECURITY THREAT WHATSOEVER to the United States *OR* indeed to ANY of its allies~European or otherwise.

Fortunately or unfortunately~depending on your point of view~by effectively classifying LTTE "a terror group" the United States and its closest allies [most unfortunately~perhaps cynically] have been made actors DIRECTLY COMPLICIT in the *GENOCIDE* of dark-skinned ethnic minority Eelam Tamils in Sri Lanka.

Now that WikiLeaks has "revealed" [December 2nd, 2010] the absolutely STARTLING "news" [Sarcastically stated!~Of course!] that Sri Lanka's Rajapakse, his brothers, and retired army major general Sarath Fonseka are DIRECTLY ACCOUNTABLE for the GENOCIDE of possibly hundreds of thousands of dark-skinned ethnic minority civilian Eelam Tamils in Sri Lanka in 2009~and "ongoing" in 2011~and in 2012~the so-called "argument" made by United States' high-level decision-makers [Including President Obama] AGAINST an international war crimes tribunal~to try Sri Lanka's war criminals for their war crimes:  There are *NO EXCUSES LEFT* for the United States FAILING TO SUPPORT THE PROSECUTION of Sri Lanka's war crimes at The International Criminal Court in The Hague.  The leaked diplomatic cables reveal that dark-skinned ethnic minority Eelam Tamils inside Sri Lanka think it "counterproductive" for them to initiate war crimes tribunals~given the odds that ANY perceived critic of the Rajapakses and their regime WILL be magically "disappeared" [the "sanitized term" for the cold-blooded MURDER of critics and political opponents of Rajapakse's neo-Nazi regime].  NOW! there is NO CONFLICT OR CONTRADICTION WHATSOEVER between the wishes of INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY for IMMEDIATE LEGAL ACCOUNTABILITY and the wishes of dark-skinned ethnic minority Eelam Tamils living inside Sri Lanka to be allowed to continue living.  THE CIVILIZED WORLD~OUTSIDE the confines of a Sri Lanka governed by the IRON FIST of nakedly genocidal neo-Nazi TOTALITARIAN Sinhala fascist regime~MUST shoulder THE ENTIRE RESPONSIBILITY AND ALL ENSUING CONSEQUENCES~for holding JUDICIALLY ACCOUNTABLE the nakedly genocidal neo-Nazi TOTALITARIAN Sinhala fascist Rajapakse regime~by employing the tools FREELY AVAILABLE to the international community~at The International Criminal Court in The Hague.

Sri Lankan citizens of all ethnicities [not "just" ethnic Tamils] can "rest assured" that the type of apology described by The BBC~an apology made by the Serb leader Tadic for the 1991 Vukovar massacre~will NEVER EVER be forthcoming from the nakedly genocidal neo-Nazi Sinhala fascist regime of Mahinda Rajapakse~the agency *RESPONSIBLE* for conducting the 2009 massacre of ethnic Tamils in the northern and eastern provinces of Sri Lanka.

Is it any WONDER that Sri Lanka's nakedly-genocidal-against-ethnic-Tamils Sinhala neo-Nazi fascists LAUGH OPENLY behind the back of The Obama Administration's GULLIBILITY? 
How CAN outright THIEVING from the innocent victims of Sri Lanka's own war crimes atrocities be declared ANY TYPE of "victory?"~military OR moral~even *if* the neo-Nazi fascist Sinhala Sri Lankan government~which famously declares itself "completely destitute" whenever its asked to pay for the resettlement of the victims of its own war crimes~through a process of "purely magical coincidence" FINDS 3 MILLION British POUNDS [4.7 MILLION US $] *each year* in its coffers to pay public relations firms to "clean up" its richly-earned war crimes perpetrator "image."

Contrast the above FACT with the following information:  U.S. Donates Rs. 674 M (US TAXPAYER $6 million) in Equipment to Sri Lanka Air Force to Support Maritime Security:  Colombo, August 23, 2010: Officials of the United States Embassy presented the Sri Lanka Air Force with Rs. 674 million (US TAXPAYER $6 million) in equipment to enhance maritime security. At a ceremony at Ratmalana Air Base, Valerie Fowler, Deputy Chief of Mission at the U.S. Embassy and Major General Darryll Wong, Chief of Staff and Commander of the Hawaii Air National Guard announced the donation to Air Chief Marshal Roshan Goonetileke, Chief of Defence Staff from the Sri Lanka Air Force. This hardware, including data links for two Beechcraft 200 aircraft, enables real time imagery that has assisted Sri Lanka in providing humanitarian assistance and responding to natural disasters such as floods. The equipment also assists the Sri Lanka military in ensuring the safety and security of Sri Lanka's territorial waters. The U.S. supports Sri Lanka [SUBTEXT:  The U.S. is UTTERLY and 100% COMPLICIT in the Sri Lankan Government's nakedly genocidal, specifically-targeted, totalitarian, neo-Nazi Sinhala fascist actions against dark-skinned ethnic minority Eelam Tamils with a BEAUTIFUL "front story" PRETENDING that] in its efforts to combat human trafficking, piracy, terrorism, narcotics smuggling and other transnational crime. Safe and secure seas are in the interests of both our countries.  [SUBTEXT:  Energetically SUPPORTING the genocide of ethnic Eelam Tamils in Sri Lanka is in the strategic interests of the United States~NOT because this is TRUE~but ONLY because the nakedly genocidal neo-Nazi Sinhala Sri Lankan fascist lobbyists in the United States have successfully "convinced"~aka PAID and/or lobbied President Obama~to THINK that this is INDEED the case!]

Colombo, December 23, 2010: U.S. Ambassador Butenis presented five ambulances today to Sri Lanka Army (SLA) Chief of Staff Major General Daya Ratnayake to assist the SLA’s "humanitarian demining efforts" [an euphemism for The Obama Administration's DIRECT COMPLICITY in the Sri Lankan government's NAKEDLY GENOCIDAL ACTIVITIES] in the North [of Sri Lanka]. The vehicles will ensure that demining teams have emergency medical care and transportation at all times.
Since the summer of 2009, the US has contributed over Rs 1.10 billion (U.S. TAXPAYER $10 million) in funding, equipment and training to help the Sri Lankan Army and international humanitarian demining organizations to clear the areas of the North and East that were blanketed with mines as a result of the conflict. In addition to today’s donation, last month the U.S. Embassy provided four trucks to the SLA for humanitarian demining activities and soon the U.S. Embassy will present seven large TATA trucks to transport SLA demining teams. The United States Government is also working with the [SUBTEXT:  The US government is 100% COMPLICIT with Sri Lanka's nakedly genocidal neo-Nazi Sinhala fascist totalitarian with a BEAUTIFUL "front story" PRETENDING that the] Army [is] to provide an additional Rs. 113 million [US TAXPAYER $1 million] in demining equipment.

While President Obama would not even CONTEMPLATE making a similar military "donation" to the Venezuelan dictator~or to The Iranian Dictator~who for all his myriad human rights "sins" CANNOT "justifiably" be charged with the crime of *GENOCIDE*~the SPLIT SECOND a nakedly and unapologetically genocidal neo-Nazi fascist Sinhala dictator "pretends" to be fighting "dirty terrorists"~in the interest of HIS OWN DIABOLICAL, MACHIAVELLIAN ENDS~no holds barred!
Apparently.
The Sinhala neo-Nazi dictator of Sri Lanka [Mahinda Rajapakse]~finding One Exhorbitant Presidential Inauguration~within a timespan of 10 months~an "insufficient" display of hubris~has spent millions of $$$$ for A Second Exhorbitant Presidential Inauguration in November 2010.
NOW *THINK* about *WHY* Sri Lanka's nakedly-genocidal-against-ethnic-Tamils neo-Nazi fascists LAUGH OPENLY behind the back of The Obama Administration's PROFOUND gullibility [!]

Instead of *OPPOSING* the nakedly genocidal neo-Nazi Sinhala fascist administration~which has governed Sri Lanka since 2005~President Obama~in vivid contrast to his much heard-of white uncle who bravely fought the Nazis and helped defeat them~in vivid contrast to his white grandmother~who worked at a WWII munitions factory whose munitions helped defeat the Nazis~CONTINUES the United States' LONG and STRONG TRACK RECORD of COMPLICITY in the PERNICIOUS neo-Nazi Sinhala fascist-perpetrated GENOCIDE of dark-skinned Eelam Tamils in Sri Lanka with terrifying legal proceedings held in the United States.

How *fabulous* for ethnic Tamils! [Sarcastically stated!~Of course!] that one of the world's most "respected" news agencies [The BBC] does not THINK that Chinese, Russian, and Indian military might and military training and military support had *ANYTHING* to "do" with the so-called "totalitarian neo-Nazi Sinhala fascist military victory" in Sri Lanka.  According to The BBC [link above]:  "Gotabhaya masterminded the war victory!" [IMPLICIT BBC SUBTEXT:  Go Gotabhaya! Rah!-Rah!]  "Perfectly Reasonable Persons" have been known to classify the slaughter of [what COULD BE as many] as 330,000 [dark-skinned] ethnic [minority] Eelam Tamils~by "their own government" as *GENOCIDE*~*NOT* REPEATEDLY declared "a war victory!"~as reporters, writers, and editors at The BBC~and at other news agencies~appear to be So Very *FOND*of *DOING*   How is it POSSIBLE??? for the totalitarian Rajapakse regime *NOT TO CELEBRATE* its gloriously successful perpetration of genocide on Sri Lanka's Eelam Tamil population?~effectively "cheered on" and "celebrated" by these specific and other similar such press reports???

To put this in some perspective:  On the "one hand:  "Between 300 [three hundred] and 500 [five hundred] people are thought to have been [tragically and senselessly] raped during violence in eastern DR Congo in July and August [2010]" and AN APPROPRIATE AND TIMELY ARREST FOR THIS CRIME WAS "ALREADY" MADE~on October 5th, 2010~BY UN PEACEKEEPING FORCES.  More tragic "mass rapes" have taken place~since that time~on January 1st, 2011~and the person "responsible" for these terrible crimes has ALREADY BEEN APPREHENDED~on January 21st, 2011~a *TRULY WONDERFUL* and *LAUDABLE* event.
On the "other hand" conservative estimates suggest that:  A "MINIMUM" of 75,000 [seventy-five THOUSAND]~more *PROBABLY* 330,000 [three hundred and thirty thousand] UNARMED, civilian, dark-skinned ethnic minority Tamils were "slaughtered in cold blood" by Sri Lanka's totalitarian government forces in northern and Eastern Sri Lanka more than 32 months ago~in 2009~WHILE THE UN WAS WATCHING [!]~*EXACTLY* like the UN WATCHED in Srebrenica in 1995~and UNLIKE Srebrenica~UN Chief Ban Ki-moon [through his "official body" the UN Security Council]~as of TODAY [February 7th, 2012]~has *YET TO OFFICIALLY CONDEMN* the nakedly genocidal neo-Nazi Sinhala fascist government of Sri Lankan President Rajapakse~the agency RESPONSIBLE for these SENSELESS and TRAGIC deaths.  Sadly~the form of "immediate and tangible justice"~as that which has been obtained for the rape victims of the Congolese army~seems *UNIMAGINABLE* for dark-skinned ethnic minority Tamils in Sri Lanka~since 1949 and "ongoing" in 2011~and in 2012.

Imagine! A *GENOCIDE* effectively "cheered on!"~by those who are SILENTLY and/or LOUDLY and/or LEGALLY COMPLICIT in the *GENOCIDE* of dark-skinned ethnic minority Eelam Tamils in Sri Lanka~through their ACTIONS, through their determined *INACTION* and through their PUBLISHED WORDS~their UNABASHEDLY warm invitations to the free-speech-destroying-Rajapakse to speak~not ONCE [in 2008] to the prestigious Oxford Union~but AGAIN in 2010~and their unabashed invitations to officiate as dignitaries in Commonwealth Games closing ceremonies~not to mention their unabashed invitations to former Sri Lankan Interior Minister Palitha Kohona~an unabashed proponent of the genocide of dark-skinned ethnic minority Eelam Tamils in Sri Lanka~to participate in prestigious Harvard University panels.  Imagine!  A *GENOCIDE* that COULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED *WITHOUT* the conscious and unconscious LEGAL COMPLICITY of so-called "civilized powers"~including Nobel Prize-winning powers like President Obama~and powers such as Canada's Stephen Harper~the proposer of draconian new "anti-Tamil" migration laws~which effectively RE-VICTIMIZE the Eelam Tamil victims of war crimes suffered at the hands of Sinhala neo-Nazi fascist forces.  In spite of the FACT that the United Kingdom [UK] has a system of "universal jurisdiction" over war crimes arrests and prosecutions~Sri Lanka's President Rajapakse received *FIRM* ASSURANCES OF IMMUNITY FROM WAR CRIMES PROSECUTION before he was GRANTED OFFICIAL PERMISSION to visit the UK from November 30th-December 2nd, 2010.  The UK~a close ally of the USA~granting Rajapakse OFFICIAL PERMISSION to travel freely thorughout the UK IS INDEED an ACT OF COMPLICITY IN TAMIL GENOCIDE~since the killings with impunity of ethnic Eelam Tamils~on a DAILY BASIS~continues UNIMPEDED~through TODAY [February 7th, 2012].  
Imagine!  A *GENOCIDE* that COULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED *WITHOUT* the conscious and unconscious COMPLICITY of "internationally-recognized" novelists like 50% ethnic Tamil writer Shyam Selvadurai~the curator and organizer of the "celebrated" The Galle Literary Festival:  COMPLICITY IN GENOCIDE . 
[IN THE INTERESTS OF FULL DISCLOSURE:  Mr. Selvadurai and Dr. Gunasegaram are childhood friends.  Their friendship "stretches way back" to a previous generation~to the platonic/collegial friendship between Mr. Selvadurai's mother and Dr. Gunasegaram's father.  Dr. Gunasegaram is risking a dear and cherished childhood friendship~in making this statement.  No one asked her to.  No one paid her anything to do this!]
Under "normal" or "ordinary" circumstances dark-skinned ethnic minority Eelam Tamils inside Sri Lanka~and in the diaspora~would be _The Tribune Express_'/_The International herald Tribune's_/_The New York Times'_ "biggest" fans.  Alas! the times they are FAR FROM ORDINARY. 
 _The Tribune Express's_ story extolling and "celebrating" Selvadurai's "Galle Literary Festival [_The Tribune Express ~after all~is PUBLISHED by _The New York Times_] is somewhat eerily reflective of the manner in which Nazi German "culture" was "normalised" and "celebrated" and "elevated"~"even" by cultured and "high-class" and highly intellectual, and highly-culturally sophisticated American "observers"of Hitler's totalitarian Nazi fascist regime [http://www.amazon.com/Garden-Beasts-Terror-American-Hitlers/dp/0307408841/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1312402888&sr=1-1]
Imagine!  A *GENOCIDE* that COULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED *WITHOUT* the conscious and unconscious COMPLICITY of billionaire American investors like Warren Buffett~persons who make ZERO "connections"~between their BILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF "investment" in regimes [like China]~regimes that are HORRIFYING human rights abusers IN THEIR OWN RIGHT~when these regimes are not "too busy" energetically SUPPORTING the SILENT genocide of dark-skinned ethnic minority Eelam Tamils in Sri Lanka~and others.
Imagine!  A *GENOCIDE* that COULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED *WITHOUT* the ACTIVELY conscious and unconscious COMPLICITY of the regime in China~a China where "some Chinese citizens" "still" feel the "sting" of "long-ago-to-the-rest-of-the-world" WWII brutalities~as recorded in this story.
Compare the gloriously successful "whitewashing"~effortlessly achieved by the neo-Nazi fascist Sinhala diplomatic corps' global propaganda machine~to what the Nazi diplomatic corps was able to achieve until 2010.
Do you [the reader] *TRULY* detect *ANY DIFFERENCE* whatsoever???

To hear The BBC "tell it":  600 [Six Hundred] is ACTUALLY more than 75,000 [Seventy-Five Thousand] The story speaks DIRECTLY to The BBC's [and to other news agencies'] sense of proportion and sense of priority in reporting "news" from Sri Lanka~reporting which APPEARS~on the surface~to be more consistent with the neo-Nazi Sinhala fascist Sri Lankan government's propaganda goals~than with carefully reflecting the "realities" on the ground.  The totalitarian Sri Lankan government's Tamil minister Colonel Karuna's *blatant* fabrications~presented as "testimony" at the UNABASHEDLY SHAM "lessons learnt panel~"apparently" *FAR MORE CRITICAL AND URGENT* for The BBC to "report on" than the COMPLETE ABSENCE OF CREDIBLE *INDEPENDENT* *INTERNATIONAL* INVESTIGATIONS into the 2009 mass slaughter of MINIMUM 75,000 [Seventy-Five Thousand]~POSSIBLY as many as 330,000 dark-skinned ethnic minority Eelam Tamils.
The BBC's~and other news agencies' "math" [maths in British English] suggesting to you [the reader] that 600 [SIX HUNDRED] is in IN FACT *MORE* than 75,000 SEVENTY-FIVE THOUSAND [!]~or  "even" 330,000 [!]

The highly respected International Crisis Group [ICG] released a report in May 2010~suggesting that the number of unarmed ethnic minority Tamils~murdered by the nakedly genocidal neo-Nazi fascist Sinhala Sri Lankan government in a single weekend in 2009 is at a MINIMUM as high as "75,000" [Seventy-Five Thousand] "365,000 minus 290,000 Tamil citizens."  Unfortunately other reports released by The International Crisis Group [July 18th, 2011] which include statements such as:  "Its [The Rajapakse Regime's] hand is strengthened by the unwillingness of much of the million-strong Tamil diaspora to recognise the brutality of the LTTE and its share of responsibility for a largely broken Tamil society"~completely and conveniently IGNORES the FACT that the 1 million strong Tamil diaspora is NOT MONOLITHIC~that the use of the word "strong" is a joke in this context~that many diaspora Eelam Tamils have maintained their "deafening global silence" IN THE FACE OF THE GENOCIDE perpetrated against dark-skinned ethnic minority Eelam Tamils in Sri Lanka~because of their terror of being so successfully labeled "terrorists"~by The Obama Administration~by The Bush Administration before The Obama Administration~by The European Union~and by others.  Human Rights group Amnesty International [That notorious terror group!~Sarcastically stated!~Of course!] through its General Secretary Claudio Cordone says:  "One would be hard pressed to imagine a more complete failure to hold to account those who abuse human rights [and perpetrate genocide against ethnic Eelam Tamils in Sri Lanka]."  Nobel Peace Prize laureate Desmond Tutu notes that Sri Lanka's terrifying human rights abuses have to-date [February 7th, 2012]~been met with a "deafening global silence"~including the rather pointedly "deafening silence" of Nobel Peace Prize-winner President Barack Obama.  In the case of Sri Lanka's ethnic minority Eelam Tamils~unilateral LEGAL SECESSION from nakedly genocidal Sinhala Sri Lanka [in hindsight] would have been THE ONLY WAY to STOP GENOCIDE and ethnic cleansing an a mass scale~possibly even thwart Sri Lanka's nakedly nuclear ambitions~not a way of "settling territorial disputes."

Ethnic minority Eelam Tamils who attempt to seek political asylum from the Sinhala genocide perpetrated on dark-skinned ethnic minority Eelam Tamils and from Sinhala state-sponsored terrorism and brutality and heinous injustice perpetrated against Tamils~by fleeing to "foreign" countries~countries like the USA, United Kingdom [UK], Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and countries within the European Union~are actively impeded~with terrific success rates~obstructed on the path of their righteous cause~by the powerful and persistent and globally gloriously successful efforts of successive neo-Nazi Sinhala Sri Lankan government administrations~aided by the United States [see next paragraph] who successfully paints ethnic Tamil efforts to seek refugee or asylum status in "foreign countries" AS IF they were "merely" the acts of economic refugees fleeing poverty~or the acts of "fleeing terrorists" and NOT the immeasurably heroic and valiant acts of vulnerable human beings fleeing their own deaths~the heroic acts of vulnerable human beings fleeing the genocide perpetrated against their entire ethnic group~by a nakedly genocidal totalitarian Sinhala Fascist State.  Of recent note in relation to the UK government's "mass" deportations of ethnic Tamils:  PLEASE SEE LAST LINE of the article:  "People who are critical of the Sri Lankan government are now often targeted."
In spite of the fact the European Court of Human Rights made a clear and irrefutable ruling *against* the UK~in a deportation case involving Somali criminals~the UK *continues* to deport dark-skinned ethnic minority Eelam Tamil refugee-seekers in situations IDENTICAL to the Somalis cited in the ruling~to face almost *certain* torture and death~at the hands of the nakedly genocidal totalitarian Sinhala state currently in the iron grip of the neo-Nazi fascist Sinhala dictator Mahinda Rajapakse.  The Strasbourg judges [to their enduring credit] said the UK's duty to protect the two [Somalis] from torture or inhumane treatment [at the hands of their own government] was "absolute."  In a separate but similar ruling The European Court of Justice underlined its lofty principled approach to justice and a fierce commitment to human rights~ruling that "not even a radical cleric" who faces torture were he to be deported from the UK~can be legally deported by the UK.
In spite of INCONTROVERTIBLE EVIDENCE that dark-skinned ethnic minority Eelam Tamil refugees and asylum-seekers who are "returned to Sri Lanka"~FACE TORTURE~at the bloody hands of Sri Lanka's nakedly genocidal neo-Nazi Sinhala fascist totalitarian Rajapakse regime~the UK government of David Cameron PERSISTS~through February 7th, 2012~in the ACTUAL *and* CONSTANTLY FRESHLY-THREATENED "mass" deportation of Eelam Tamils~as of February 7th, 2012~IN DIRECT VIOLATION OF INTERNATIONAL LAWS GOVERNING REFUGEES.  These REAL *and* THREATENED "mass" deportations of Tamils~through February 7th, 2012~SADLY~make the UK's Cameron Government DIRECTLY COMPLICIT in the TOTALITARIAN SRI LANKAN GOVERNMENT'S GENOCIDE ON TAMILS.
While Mr. Cameron produces a continual stream of "pretty speeches"~as recently as in January 2012~telling "us"~REPEATEDLY~that a commitment to human rights "runs deep in the British heart and long in British history"~[Please see 10th paragraph down from the top]~what he appears to MEAN by his/the UK's "commitment to human rights"~as borne out by THE FACTS~is the CONTINUED DEPORTATION OF DARK-SKINNED ETHNIC MINORITY EELAM TAMILS~as "recently" as in 2012~back to Sri Lanka~FROM THE UK~in order to face well-documented and brutal torture at the hands of the neo-Nazi Sinhala fascist totalitarian Rajapakse government. 
Similarly~Norwegian Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg's government's continued and determined and obdurate denial of the asylum petitions of ethnic Sri Lankan Tamil asylum-seekers to Norway continues to be an egregious violation of long-established international laws of refugees~and those seeking asylum from ethnic conflicts, civil wars and torture at the hands of totalitarian governmentslike Sri Lanka's.  While "it's better than nothing" that Norwegian Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg offered a formal apology to Jews for WWII deportations by Norway on Holocaust Memorial Day~January 27th, 2012~Prime Minister Stoltenberg's "sentiments" appear NOT TO THWART~IN ANY WAY, SHAPE, FORM~his government's CONTINUED and ONGOING deportations of dark-skinned ethnic minority Eelam Tamil asylum seekers to Norway~back to Sri Lanka~FROM NORWAY~in order to face well-documented and brutal torture at the hands of the neo-Nazi Sinhala fascist totalitarian Rajapakse government~in 2012.

The almost fathomless cynicism of countries who deport dark-skinned ethnic minority Eelam Tamils~back to Sri Lanka~civilian, unarmed, noncombatant dark-skinned ethnic minorityy Eelam Tamils~many of them young children and the elderly~who have only recently experienced the extreme ravages and traumas of the conflict~is evidenced by the United Nations "reporting" to The BBC that Tamil refugees are "returning" to Sri Lanka [!]~AS IF OF THEIR OWN VOLITION [!]  Imagine the stunningly cynical act of deporting those who face genocide on "a daily basis" at the blood-soaked hands of a nakedly genocidal neo-Nazi Sinhala fascist regime~and then calling it:  "Tamil refugees returning to Sri Lanka!"
The "same" United Nations "leadership" [UN Chief Ban Ki-moon among them~but not alone] which *insisted* in the "face" of incontrovertible independent forensic evidence to the contrary that "only" "7,000" unarmed, noncombatant, ethnic minority Tamils had been slaughtered in cold blood by Sri Lanka's neo-Nazi Sinhalese fascist forces near Mullaitivu~in 2009~"now" [in 2012] finds it necessary to *insist* that "Tamil refugees are returning to Sri Lanka~AS IF OF THEIR OWN VOLITION [!]" ~the UN displaying the same stunning cynicism in 2011~and in 2012~as it did in 2009.

Even though Democrat-led [Howard Berman] Committee in The United States' Congress passed legislation in July 2011~banning aid to Sri Lanka until such time as the serious allegations of Crimes Against Humanity are thoroughly investigated~the legislation arrives "too late" to cause any "real impact" on the day-to-day treatment of dark-skinned ethnic minority Eelam Tamils in Sri Lanka~by the nakedly genocidal neo-Nazi Sinhala fascist Rajapakse regime.

According to CNN [and to other news sources as well] on September 29th, 2010~US President Barack Obama ordered unprecedented sanctions against senior Iranian officials for Iran's "sustained and severe violations of human rights".  "Fortunately" [Sarcastically stated!~Of course!] for the nakedly genocidal totalitarian Sinhala neo-Nazi regime which has governed Sri Lanka [since 2005] there is *NO SUCH FEAR* of US/Obama Administration sanctions against IT for:  "sustained and severe violations of human rights"~including the crime of GENOCIDE~a charge~which for all the Iranian dictator's innumerable and egregious "crimes" cannot be justifiably leveled against him.  All to the "contrary"~on August 23rd, 2010~President Obama directly contravened the 1997 Leahy Amendment~an amendment which SPECIFICALLY FORBIDS President Obama~and other US Presidents~from giving MILLIONS OF DOLLARS in military aid to nakedly genocidal totalitarian regimes~such as the neo-Nazi fascist Sinhala government of Sri Lanka~no matter WHAT THE MANUFACTURED "excuse" IS~in this case "ostensibly FIGHTING dirty Tamil Tiger terrorists"~all of whom are DEAD~but the "fight" CONTINUES~"paid for" with US taxpayer dollars~PAID to a nakedly genocidal neo-Nazi Sinhala totalitarian fascist regime governing Sri Lanka:
U.S. Donates Rs. 674 M (US TAXPAYER $6 million) in Equipment to Sri Lanka Air Force to Support Maritime Security:  Colombo, August 23, 2010: Officials of the United States Embassy presented the Sri Lanka Air Force with Rs. 674 million (US TAXPAYER $6 million) in equipment to enhance maritime security. At a ceremony at Ratmalana Air Base, Valerie Fowler, Deputy Chief of Mission at the U.S. Embassy and Major General Darryll Wong, Chief of Staff and Commander of the Hawaii Air National Guard announced the donation to Air Chief Marshal Roshan Goonetileke, Chief of Defence Staff from the Sri Lanka Air Force. This hardware, including data links for two Beechcraft 200 aircraft, enables real time imagery that has assisted Sri Lanka in providing humanitarian assistance and responding to natural disasters such as floods. The equipment also assists the Sri Lanka military in ensuring the safety and security of Sri Lanka's territorial waters. The U.S. supports Sri Lanka [SUBTEXT:  The U.S. is UTTERLY and 100% COMPLICIT in the Sri Lankan Government's nakedly genocidal, specifically-targeted, totalitarian, neo-Nazi Sinhala fascist actions against dark-skinned ethnic minority Eelam Tamils with a BEAUTIFUL "front story" PRETENDING that] in its efforts to combat human trafficking, piracy, terrorism, narcotics smuggling and other transnational crime. Safe and secure seas are in the interests of both our countries.  [SUBTEXT:  ENERGETICALLY SUPPORTING the genocide of ethnic Eelam Tamils in Sri Lanka is in the "best" strategic interests of the United States~NOT because this is TRUE~but ONLY because the nakedly genocidal neo-Nazi Sinhala Sri Lankan fascist lobbyists in the United States have successfully "convinced"~aka PAID and/or lobbied President Obama~to THINK that this is INDEED the case!]

On August 29th, 2010, The Supreme Court of News Zealand in its ruling said: “At all relevant times the Tamil Tigers [LTTE] was an organisation having the goals of self-determination for Tamils and securing an independent Tamil state in northeast Sri Lanka.  The principal objective was to induce the government of Sri Lanka to concede such political change.  These characteristics made the Tamil Tigers a political organisation notwithstanding its use, at times, of proscribed methods of advancing its cause.  That much is not in dispute.”  Thereby the court "determined" to rule that LTTE was [is] a POLITICAL ORGANIZATION~and not a "terror group"~as "labeled" by the nakedly genocidal totalitarian neo-Nazi Sinhala fascist government of Sri Lanka.
Who are YOU [the reader] inclined to believe? 
A nakedly genocidal neo-Nazi Sinhala fascist totalitarian government in Sri Lanka~spreading false propaganda~like manure~in order to "terrorize" a vulnerable dark-skinned ethnic minority community?~OR The Supreme Court of a peaceful, civilized, New Zealand?

On September 8th, 2010 Sri Lanka's nakedly genocidal neo-Nazi fascist Sinhala dictator Mahinda Rajapakse~wrangled sweeping "new" undemocratic powers for himself and for his family members~by employing his HABITUALLY Machiavellian tactics to become the "official dictator" of Sri Lanka.  "Naturally" [naturalmente!] these "inconvenient truths" have not interfered in any way, shape, form, with Dictator Rajapakse's travel plans to the USA [official], to the UK, to Germany and to Mexico on [private] visits~during the week following the UN Meeting in NY [week of September 20th, 2010]~or with Rajapakse's "status" as a United States' citizen.  To rub further salt~into open Tamil wounds~most "recently"~Rajapakse was granted OFFICIAL PERMISSION by the United States State Department~granting him permission to visit Houston, Texas, the USA on what has been officially called "a private visit"~a visit which commenced on Wednesday, January 19th, 2011.

Ethnic minority Tamils have declined from 15% [fifteen percent] of the Sri Lankan population to 3.9% [three point nine percent] of the Sri Lankan population [CIA World Factbook~please see "Sri Lankan Tamil" 3.9%~at the top of the linked page] as both a DIRECT~as well as an INDIRECT result~of relentless genocidal acts perpetrated against them by successive genocidal neo-Nazi fascist Sri Lankan Sinhala administrations~dating back to 1949~[30 years prior to 1979~in other words looooooong before the founding of the genocide-opposing~liberty-seeking LTTE in 1979~long before the birth of the founding members of LTTE]~and continued currently by the totalitarian government of the neo-Nazi fascist Sinhala President Mahinda Rajapakse]~now~even "after" the so-called "military defeat" of  the LTTE on May 18th, 2009~even AFTER the so-called "triumph over terrorists." 

The neo-Nazi Sinhala fascists in Sri Lanka *PUNCTUATED* DECADES of violent *GENOCIDAL* conflict against dark-skinned ethnic minority Eelam Tamils in Sri Lanka by burning down "A Tamil Treasure"~the Jaffna Library~"back" on June 4th, 1981:  http://www.bbc.co.uk/tamil/news/story/2011/06/110605_jaffnajuly.shtml
In 2010~TWENTY-NINE YEARS "after" despicable vandalism against Tamils and the callous burning of The Jaffna Library in 1981~*NOTHING* had "CHANGED"~in terms of Sinhala neo-Nazi fascist "attitudes" toward Tamil treasures~as evidenced in the VANDALISM perpetrated by "random"Sinhala tourists visiting The Jaffna Library in 2010 "AFTER" THESE *SINHALA* TOURISTS HAD BEEN TOLD BY *SINHALA* GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORITIES THAT THE JAFFNA LIBRARY WAS OFF LIMITS [due to a medical conference that had been in progress at the time the vandalism occurred].   The "absence of change" in impregnably entrenched and rigidly-held neo-Nazi Sinhala fascist attitudes toward dark-skinned ethnic minority Eelam Tamils in Sri Lanka~sadly~continues all the way to "today"~February 7th, 2012~long after the so-called "triumph over dirty Tamil Tiger LTTE terrorists."

The most recent few Sinhala Sri Lankan administrations have succeeded beyond their wildest dreams~on a global scale~in "characterizing" and effectively "mislabeling" any/all legitimate political opposition to Sinhala neo-Nazi fascism and genocide as "LTTE terrorism." [THINK Sarath Fonseka~former Sri Lankan government-employed military commander credited with DEFEATING the LTTE "until" he was imprisoned by the government on "vague fabricated charges."]  In many cases the neo-Nazi genocidal totalitarian Sinhala Sri Lankan government accuses its political opponents and genuine and legitimately critical United Nations officials of being "friends of the LTTE"~based "simply" on the strength of their political opponents' LEGITIMATE POLITICAL opposition to its openly-genocidal neo-Nazi fascist governmental policies.  Part of the highly effective~albeit criminal~"opposition-crushing strategy" of successive neo-Nazi Sinhala fascist administrations has been declaring and extending a "state of emergency"~permitting the crushing of the human rights of ALL Sri Lanka's citizens~not "just" the civil and human rights of its ethnic minority Tamil citizenry~for 27 years.  Even though Sri Lanka's neo-Nazi Sinhala fascist totalitarian dictator Rajapakse "officially announced" the "lifting" of Sri Lanka's draconian emergency laws on August 25th, 2011~no one is clear what this ACTUALLY MEANS.  Sadly~to compound matters~and to further delegitimize the current Sri Lankan government~as IF that were even possible~the BBC news has consistently reported that every election law in Sri Lanka has been violated by Mahinda Rajapakse and by his ruling party in 2009~and subsequently.
"Naturally"~this "latest story"~declaring that the nakedly genocidal neo-Nazi Sinhala fascist Rajapakse regime is "lifting 28-year emergency laws"~"conveniently" FAILS TO MENTION that in SPITE OF EXCELLENT REPORTING BY INTREPID AND IMMENSELY COURAGEOUS INTERNATIONAL JOURNALISTS suggesting THE HORRIFYING CONTRARY~the nakedly genocidal neo-Nazi Sinhala fascist Rajapakse regime CONTINUES making its "officially-stated positions" EXTREMELY PUBLIC~regarding the genocide it perpetrated in 2009~and continues to perpetrate in 2012~TELLING THE WORLD IN ALL ITS "OFFICIAL STATEMENTS":
(1) NO unarmed, noncombatant, dark-skinned ethnic minority Eelam Tamil civilians were killed in the final stages of the conflict:
