Myth No. 8:
20 years of war has proved that Sri Lanka cannot win the war against the Tamil Tigers
To be frank, never did Sri Lanka wage the anti-terrorist war that was needed to destroy the Tamil racist militancy. There were many reasons.
Firstly, quite unaware, silent and invisible Tamil and non-Tamil Eelamists were living, working and making decisions in Sri Lanka. They were inside the most important and top secret decision-making levels of the politics and business circles and even inside security forces and intelligence services. Other than spying on behalf of the Eelamists and misdirecting the whole nation on a losing path of destruction, they made sure no Sri Lankan was ever able to convince or implement the necessary overall strategy.
Secondly, the international forces who operate in Sri Lanka didn’t want a patriotic war that could bring patriots to power. Supporting these Eelamists were these international forces, which are nowadays not-so-secret, who funded and maintained a set of agents in Sri Lanka to influence national policies to their advantage. Ever since the British invaders left in 1948, these invisible spy services and international religious organizations have been using these agents to make sure no patriotic system is established in Sri Lanka by the patriots.
Thanks to these treacherous conspirators, no Sri Lankan government was ever able to assess the threat of Eelam accurately. Therefore they failed to formulate the necessary overall strategy. Thereby, helped by these traitors who posed themselves as caring and concerned advisers, the Governments waged an unsuitable and a costly war where state funds were wasted without even reaching the poor and helpless solders in the fields.
As foreign donor organizations gave loans as aid to Sri Lanka, foreign arms agents recruited greedy, selfish Sri Lankans who organized bribes to everyone from the very top to the very bottom. Having never read or properly understood such basic manuals such as Sun Tzu’s “The Art of Warfare” or tactical and strategic lessons from history, they bought unnecessary military hardware. Sometimes it was the arms seller himself who introduced military strategies into this so-called war so that he could sell his products. Bribery kept many mouths shut. To many of those who were in power, it was just another way to pocket in state funds during their term in office.
Poor and bewildered soldiers discovered the inadequacy of the military strategy in the field, most of the time paying the ultimate price. Tamil Tigers were able to convince to the whole world in massive propaganda campaigns that Sri Lankan Army could not win against them. Many senior military officers were excellent administrators, sportsmen, musicians, singers and businessmen. There were only a few whose interests included at least the history of warfare. Trapped in a wrong strategy, unable to understand or implement the correct overall strategy, they couldn’t explain the battle defeats to the world or to the governments. In turn, Government couldn’t explain these military failures to the people. Therefore, both the senior military officers and the Government covered up the military debacles. Tigers had a field day celebrating their beefed up image thanks to this cover-up.
Even today only a handful of top officers can explain the real tactics under which areas like Pooneryn, Mulativu, Vanni, and Elephant Pass were allowed to fall into terrorist hands. In Sri Lanka’s defence establishment, there is hardly anyone who could describe even the truly important, basic incidents in military history, like what Egyptian Pharoes did to liberate their country from the invaders, how the Assyrians became the World’s first empire, the length to which the Spartans went to maintain their national defence, how Alexander who was able to conquer everyone, was stopped in North India, how what Romans did to survive the Celtic invaders helped them to become an empire later, how primitive societies like Huns under Atila and then Mongols under Ghengis Khan were able to achieve such impossible heights, how Viking selfishness and greed altered the history of Europe forever, the interesting truth about the crusades, the fall of Dien Bien Phu, and finally American failure in Vietnam. Without this knowledge, war against the Eelamists would only get more solders killed and more military hardware lost or destroyed in the bloody fields of north and east.
If you can, try to sit down with the senior defence officials and have a chat. See what their personal interests are. Several true warriors tried to change the system, but failed. They weren’t powerful enough to override those Sri Lankan agents hired by the foreign spy services and religious organizations or their henchmen.
Apart from some incidents which gave positive results thanks to other reasons such as timely suicidal sacrifices and sheer luck, the necessary war was never waged against the LTTE. It had been a continuous waste of young patriotic lives, and state funds. Frontline soldiers who came home on their leave, revealed this untold story to their friends in their villages. This is why, despite the high unemployment rate, the army struggled to find enough recruits. Sri Lankan youth will never fight under an unsuitable strategy which the traitors themselves had helped to design.
The war against the Tamil racist militancy can only be won in Colombo.
What is happening in the fields of the north and the east, is just the shadow of the secret war that has been waged in Colombo by the most shameless traitors of the post independence era. These traitors remain powerful because they get paid enormous amounts of funds by the front organizations of the foreign spy services and religious institutions with which they can manipulate the entire system.
Myth No. 9:
Economy and prosperity will be devastated if Sri Lanka tries to fight a war against the LTTE
It wasn’t the war that destroyed the economy. The highest defence expenditure, even at the height of Operation Jayasikurui was around One Billion US dollars per year. Normally the annual defence expenditure remained around $700,000 to $850,000. This is nothing compared to the commissions made, state funds stolen through corruption, and exorbitant expenses allowed for projects with lesser priority.
The military strategy required to face the threat of Eelam needed only a fraction of this amount. The talented officers of the armed forces have shown what this strategy is. It is yet to be heard and fully implemented. It involves restructuring the organization of the country’s armed forces and a radical change of strategy. This change of multi-pronged strategy involves not only the military front. It demands changes to country’s political, social and economic philosophies. This change very badly affects many fraudsters who thrive in Colombo exploiting the nation and the resources. Together with the Eelamists, they successfully barred the necessary strategy from being implemented. This only led Sri Lanka to utter chaos, defeatism, and poverty, as we had seen during the last fifteen years. The nation, one day, MUST get to know who these traitors are.
Because the military strategy that was adopted was not what was needed, there was heavy reliance on firepower and equipment to compensate for the inadequacy of the strategy. Both these cost a staggering amount of money. Superpowers like America, who have designed new equipments for anti-terrorist warfare, could afford such expensive military hardware. But for a poor third world country like Sri Lanka, to depend on tactics that required such equipment was suicidal.
Poor Sri Lanka tried to follow anti-terrorist and counter-guerilla tactics designed in the western military academies without the necessary military hardware in sufficient quantities. For example, American air mobile tactics were adopted without sufficient numbers of helicopters. Tamil tigers were able to gather thousands to outnumber them. So called gunship support involved only one or two helicopters which were helpless against concentrated ground fire. Training methods were too harsh for the poor boys who had suffered from malnutrition all their lives. Nation wasn’t even aware of the gallantry that their soldiers had to come up with in order to fight the most organized, very well supported, best motivated, ruthless guerilla organization in the world. All this happened while the LTTE had their agents and sympathizers within the Government, and in the multi-cultural Sri Lankan society supplying them with information, neutralizing the mind of the rest of the Sri Lankans and sabotaging patriotic actions.
All equipment on which the strategy was based, and that was needed at crucial times, was in short supply. This made their use impractical and ineffective under tiger’s pre-planned attacks. In such situations, it was not practical to coordinate their use which was essential for any success. Thus, whole tactics failed at decisive moments leaving the poor soldiers who were trapped by the enemy, to their own devices. A whole country and a 19 million people couldn’t do anything to save them. Such helplessness at crucial times of battle only led to the troops to suffer irreparable mental damage, inhuman pain, cruel torture or death. That was how they lost confidence in the entire system and in the society. Only reason why they didn’t crack up the way the Vietnam veterans did in America, was because of the Buddhist upbringing and influence that many of them had during their childhood while attending the Sunday schools in their village temples. Once they went home, the angry survivors wouldn’t return to the army. Many blinded with anger, disappointment and frustration, suffering from post-traumatic disorders, found shelter in underworld thug gangs taking revenge on a society that had let them down.
Government Embassies abroad, and National intelligence services were all infiltrated by the enemies with the help of the unpatriotic local agents hired by the foreign organizations. With the failure or the ineffective actions of these government institutions, the soldiers bore the full brunt of the Eelamists strength. Half of the nation waited until someone else’s children fought for their freedom. More were willing to hand over the country to any devil in order to maintain their social status, social class, businesses, and political power.
Media and the artists were not utilized to bring the nation under one philosophy. Instead, they were hired by the enemy to make movies, dramas and an artists front against anyone or any thing that stood against the Eelamists. This not only demoralized the soldiers, it demoralized a whole nation.
In times of trouble, the patriotism of the social elite decides the fate of the nation. Unfortunately for Sri Lanka, only a few from the social elite made a genuine effort to research, formulate plans and action what was necessary. First priority of the affluent class was to maintain their social class status intact. The middle class pursued higher studies or business avenues taking examples form the elite. It was the poor and the lower middle class who fought for the country. They neither had money nor the strength to face the LTTE. Yet they fought on year after year, sacrificing their little resources, future and lives while the others chose to improve their social status through education and wealth-gathering.
Talented militarymen who could understand these and formulate necessary counter-measures, were sidelined, or were silenced with cold warnings, or were forced to retire early.
Once the new UNP government under Ranil Wickramasingha came to office in 2000, their dependence on foreign masters earned them an influx of foreign investments which boosted up the wealth of the Colombo elite and the provincial business class. The share market improved as those powerful foreign organizations were able to channel foreign investors to Sri Lanka. Actually only about 1% of the Sri Lankan population got to enjoy the benefits of this bubble economy. Their employees and henchmen also received a pittance which they considered a heaven sent blessing. Meanwhile the rest of the Sri Lankan workforce worked like slaves whole day for inadequate monthly salaries between Rs.2500 and Rs.6000.
For an economy like Sri Lanka’s to be truly strong, it must be based on a solid agricultural base, then a manufacturing and an industry sector. The commerce should be based only on those two solid foundations. But in Sri Lanka the foreign masters who helped the new government into power in 2000 AD, artificially boosted up Sri Lanka’s economy. They brought in foreign investors to create a bubble economy.
Sri Lanka’s agriculture remains sabotaged and gradually destroyed. Manufacturing and industrial sector is dwindling without attention. Yet the bubble economy based on commerce flourishes. But this depends on the attention the foreign investors give to Sri Lanka. That means dancing to their tunes. This explains the bizarre stand of the Colombo elite, the merchant class of Sri Lanka when it comes to their priorities. To them, having had to depend on the foreign masters, patriotism and future of the nation has become secondary.
If they don’t listen to the demands of the foreign masters, their businesses wouldn’t flourish. Without business income, their position in the society, and their fairy tale lifestyles would collapse. This is why they seem to agree to all the deadly, suicidal and destructive measures imposed upon Sri Lanka by the foreign masters.
If Sri Lankan government tries to wage war by taking foreign advices and ignoring the necessary strategy as proposed by the sons of the nation, they will lose again.
You may train the poor Sri Lankan soldiers in the best training academies in USA, UK, India, China or Pakistan. But without the necessary overall strategy, they will only get massacred again, and again.
You may buy the most expensive, latest, or sophisticated military equipment. Yet, without the necessary overall strategy, they will only get destroyed, or captured by the LTTE in the fields of the north and the east.
At the end, LTTE will emerge not only victorious but they will be stronger in all aspects than the bankrupt, shocked and confused Sri Lankan government. Subsequently the nation will fall. The elite and the merchant class will make deals with the Eelamists and the LTTE for their survival. Sri Lanka will end up being ruled by the LTTE and the Eelamists.
This is the cold hard truth whether we like it or not.
We all want to avoid this destruction. So apply pressure on the politicians, officials and merchants to stand against the Sri Lankan agents hired by the foreign organizations to implement what is necessary.
