LeN ever triumphant and towering above all – overcomesall odds and obstacles (Lanka-e-News-18.Dec.2012, 5.30PM) The number of readers who voluntarily showed their great affinity for the Face book page opened by Lanka e news following the ban imposed on it by the Medamulana backwoods crocodiles had reached 15000 today. Lanka e news opened the Face book page in November 2011 simultaneously with the unjust ban imposed on the website, to enable our avid local viewers to read the truthful , insightful and sensation full news reports of Lanka e news despite the ban. Until today , 15223 viewers have expressed their desire for it , and among them over 13000 are from Sri Lanka. As at today , the number of readers of the Face book page have exceeded 250,000 weekly. It is worthy of note , of them 213000 are from within Sri Lanka. This figure does not include the nearly five lakhs Sri Lankan readers of the website monthly who are taking pains to view via proxy . This means that about 14 lakhs people within Sri Lanka are reading Lanka e news monthly.  Mind you , we have reached these salutary targets amidst the worst odds deliberately and wantonly arrayed against us by those who caused our media personnel to go missing ( still not traceable after many years) ; chasing them away from their motherland ( the irony being patriots chased away by traitorous rulers who do not wish their atrocities to be exposed) ; imprisonment ; reducing our office to ashes including our precious library and equipments by committing arson; deploying the CID to intimidate and harass other websites falsely alleging that they are transmitting information to us ; threatening our sponsors against giving advertisements to us etc. We are revealing this data to prove that the deliberate , diabolic and demonic efforts of the Medamulana backwoods crocodiles to ban our website and cause us to perish is a damp squib. We wish to emphasize here that it is only possible to defeat the despotic and sordid goals of bestial and brutal backwoods crocodiles legendary for shedding ‘crocodile tears’ and overpower them , only if there is the support of those who believe that truthful news is indispensable and are seeking them wherever they are no matter what measures are taken to cloud or eradicate them by those in the roles of despots and dictators ; and if there are media Institutions which are prepared to emulate us without fear or favor and act with fervor to highlight and expose the evils of the lawless Medamulana frogs and crocodiles , and the dire perils the country is being plunged into. May we add , we are fortunate that we are having the unstinted support of our readers while we are championing the cause for media freedom , people’s sovereignty , judicial independence and every Democratic Institution which are all under the gravest threats on a scale never before witnessed in Sri Lanka ‘s history. Might we say with pride that with the ever growing unrelenting backing of our readers and viewers , we are more determined to destroy every obstacle however formidable and obnoxious that is placed in our path. Our triumphs are all the more because we have defeated our formidable fascist and despotic opponents despite all the trials and tribulations they subjected us to. Let us also notify that the court order banning the Lanka e news website is only issued to the SL telecom regulatory Commission , and not to the viewers or the media personnel. Hence , viewers or the media personnel dealings with the Lanka e news are not legally prohibited.Simply because two CID officers took a piece of paper and produced it to court , the latter issued the ban even without calling the defense to cite reasons , and even without our knowing or being informed . However , we have not suffered defeat because of this unjust unfair order issued by the court or at the request of the Govt. Neither did we kneel down before them . We battled against that injustice using the weapons we are possessed of. The only solace we received was the support of our steadfast, sincere , loyal and faithful readers and viewers.  Today , we and our readers have emerged victorious when by a strange quirk of circumstances , the very courts which gave the order against us has come within the firing line of the Medamulana backwoods crocodiles . At this juncture , ironically it is only we who are there to espouse the cause of the judiciary fearlessly , forthrightly and frankly. We wish to recall , 8 years ago when we launched our website , we published that Lanka e news motto is, ‘we shall be sitting even on the ground and disseminating factual news’. This has been proved absolutely right today. We are now sitting on the ground if not on a hot stove , yet we are fulfilling our obligations as a media with honor , rectitude and integrity without stooping to sordid and unscrupulous levels unlike some others. As we always advocated truth and nothing but the truth , so we will always stand by it steadfastly even if our enemies relentlessly hound us out . When we reveal the truth we don’t discriminate between enemies and friends . This is precisely why we are standing by the judiciary when they are being hounded out by the wild Medamulana crocodiles. Our feet are firmly planted on earth . Hence to us who see those on earth well , we can see the deities in the heavens better. Those sinners on earth who are headed for perdition , we can see even better . On the contrary , the sinners who are devil incarnates cannot stand to see anyone but Satan which is a projection of themselves. The indestructible unalloyed truths we shall continue to bring forth to you . There are many changes that the Lanka e news website has to effect in order to meet the latest technological advancements and requirements . During the past five years we had not effected any changes. This had militated against our most cherished viewers . In order to eliminate these impediments we have devised a scheme . To implement this scheme we need funds . Towards this we humbly seek your generous support which you have always extended wholeheartedly .
