Commonwealth chief calls for reduction of army role in northern Sri Lanka

Commonwealth Secretary-General Kamalesh Sharma.

Commonwealth Secretary General Kamalesh Sharma has called for scaling down Sri Lankan Army’s role in the war—ravaged northern province to address the “legitimate concerns” of the Tamil population.

October 29, 2014
“The steps that needed to be taken to empower the people affected by the conflict include addressing legitimate concerns about restricted and monitored movement of both the citizens of the province and those visiting them for lawful purposes,” Mr. Sharma said after visiting Jaffna, the erstwhile bastion of the LTTE.

“A continued reduction of the military role in civilian life in the (northern) province was important to see legitimate concerns of Tamils being addressed,” he added.

After the travel restrictions imposed in the northern provinces earlier this month, all foreign passport holders now require a permit before travelling to these areas.

Mr. Sharma, who is on a five-day official visit to Lanka, also criticised Sri Lankan Commissioner of Elections for lacking independence.

The Commonwealth was looking forward to deploy a team of poll observers in Lanka’s presidential elections expected to be announced soon, he said.

Earlier on Monday, Sharma met Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa and discussed the reforms and objectives agreed upon at the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) 2013 that took place in Colombo last November.

Mr. Rajapaksa is the current chair of the 54—nation body.

Sri Lankan Army fought a near three-decade-long civil war with the militants of Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), who wanted to create an independent Tamil state called Tamil Eelam in the north and the east of the island country.

The LTTE was defeated in 2009 following the death of its chief Velupillai Prabakaran.

The last phase of the civil war in 2009 has led to widespread accusations of human rights violations by both the army and the LTTE militants, leading to a UN investigation into alleged war crimes.

How Would JR, Gamini Or Lalith Have Handled The Current Regime/Chaos?

By Vishwamithra1984 -October 29, 2014 

“Any nation that thinks more of its ease and comfort than its freedom will soon lose its freedom; and the ironical thing about it is that it will lose its ease and comfort too.” ~W. Somerset Maugham

It is indeed a fascinating exercise to speculate. Not only is it fascinating but taken in the context of great uncertainty that shrouds today’s issues, it is intriguing and educating to find out what the old Masters’ strategic thinking and their tactical moves within that strategy, would have engineered to bring about a collapse of an ostensibly formidable power. The obvious counter to the basic premise of this argument is: If J R, Gamini or Lalith were alive today, there would never have been a President Mahinda Rajapaksa. Mahinda Rajapaksa– yes, but as President- no way. Therefore, Readers, please read this piece only in the context of the basic premise being treated as speculation or conjecture. But I have no doubt that in that speculative exercise we will find some fascinating facts, illuminating examples and some uncanny parallels. How would J R, Gamini or Lalith have, individually as well as collectively, managed the current dual-crisis- the United National Party and the Opposition on the one hand and on the other, a corrupt and nepotistic regime headed by one single family.Read More

Increase executive Powers 

 By Kamal Suraweera-October 29, 2014

The powers vested with the Executive Presidency need to be increased, as the President is not able to take independent decisions due to the conditions envisaged in the present Constitution, Prime Minister D.M. Jayaratne said.
He added there was nothing wrong with the Executive Presidential System and in order to develop the country the powers of the office needed to be increased. Jayaratne made this observation yesterday during the opening ceremony of the United People's Freedom Alliance's (UPFA) Kandy District office at William Gopallawa Mawatha.


He was the chief guest of the event.
"The presidential election will definitely take place in January. We will first arouse people's curiosity and then we will announce the date of the election. That is why we are delaying the declaration of the election day. Now, people are saying various things. Some claim that according to the Constitution a person cannot contest for the Executive President a third time. Don't these people still know that we changed the Constitution so that a person can contest a third time? Now anyone can contest as much as they want," he said.


Jayaratne said some charge the President can appoint anyone to any position. However, that allegation is false and the President cannot fill vacancies.
"The vacancies are filled by a committee. It is done with the approval of the Cabinet and Parliament. I assure you that the President has not appointed a single person going above the process," the Prime Minister said.
Jayaratne asked what is wrong with the Executive Presidency and how the 30-year war would have been ended without it. "We have a two-thirds majority in Parliament with the assistance of the United National Party (UNP). The government stands because the UNP MPs crossed over," he said.


The Prime Minister was also critical of those who recommend a parliamentary system led by a Prime minister. "With that system we will have to hold elections if one MP crosses over. Considering how people change parties these days, we will have to hold elections every day. There are wars in 14 countries in the world. Hundreds of people die because of these. This happens because these countries don't have strong leaders. Without power one can't rule," he said.
Jayaratne also commented on the common candidate stating that President Rajapaksa, who has the support of 14 political parties, is the true common candidate.


"Is there anyone else we can hand this country over to? Ranil Wickremesinghe can't even take a little shock, how can he rule a country? Can Ven. Sobhitha Thera rule a country? There were those who could have governed before, there will be leaders in the future too. But, there is no one else now. If so, we will need to get someone from abroad, give him a gun and ask that person to rule," he said.

Balasuriya indulges in two most despicable dastardly acts after his new appointment

(Lanka-e-News -29.Oct.2014, 10.30PM) Ex IGP Mahinda Balasuriya a confirmed wrongdoer who resigned under a cloud after admitting his wrong when he was the IGP , and now appointed again as the secretary to the Ministry of law and peace of the police department under the Mahinda Rajapkse program ‘Sri Lanka,(SL) the Asia’s miracle in the making’ now dubbed appropriately as ‘SL , the Asia’s debacle in the making “ had begun his sordid activities serving the Rajapakse regime agenda no sooner than he started his duties, according to reports reaching Lanka e news.

Though all the DIG offices Island wide ought to be monitored by the chief of the police department IGP Ilangakoon , the DIG office of Balasuriya had begun the monitoring tour even without the knowledge of the IGP. The objective of this monitoring journey is to enlist these DIGs in pro government unlawful activities at the upcoming Presidential elections. On this tour , arrangements are being made to accord high profile receptions to the OICs of the police stations in the zones where the DIG stooges are .

Meanwhile, Balasuriya is also getting ready to destroy a file pertaining to his earlier bribery charges that is at the Commission of bribery and corruption. Previously , charges were filed against Balasuriya by the Bribery commission when it was discovered that he made a bogus declaration of assets and properties at the time he was being promoted as DIG . ( it is mandatory that a DIG before being promoted must make a true declaration of assets and properties.)

At that time , after it was confirmed that Balasuriya had submitted a false declaration , the Bribery commission sought the advice of the Attorney general . The latter instructed the commission to file legal action against Balasuriya.

Subsequently , Balasuriya was promoted as IGP regardless. The first thing Balasuriya did after he was elevated to the post of IGP was , transfer all the police officers who conducted the investigations against him at the bribery commission to the remotest and difficult areas. Though Balasuriya tried his best to get to his hands the file against him in the bribery commission , the Bribery commissioner at that time opposed it.

Balasuriya who is now appointed as the secretary to the Ministry of law and peace , is again seeking to search that file which contains details of his rackets , and destroy it. Interestingly , because the present bribery commission President , D.J. De S. Balapatabendi is another corrupt individual who was tainted with bribery charges , it is probable the dastardly criminal aims of Balasuriya may be achieved by him, for birds of a feather flock together.

UNP MP complains of night club in sacred city 

By Saman Indrajith-October 28, 2014

The first ever night club in the Anuradhapura sacred city had been established in the vicinity of Sri Maha Bodhi and Ruwan Weli Seya, UNP Anuradhapura District MP P. Harrision told Parliament yesterday.

MP Harrison, raising a question on massage parlours in Anuradhapura, requested the government to remove the night club from its current location as it desecrated the holy city. The MP requested Minister of Indigenous Medicine Salinda Dissnayake to look into the matter and take remedial action.

MP Harrison said that there were 34 massage parlours within the Anuradhapura city limits and three massage parlours in Mihintale.

"It is no secret that various kinds of nefarious and immoral activities take place inside those parlours," MP Harrison said.

Minister Dissanayake said that night clubs did not come under the purview of his ministry. The ministry also had no powers to regulate massage parlours in the country because some of them had been registered under the Provincial Councils. The ministry’s authority had been limited by the devolution of powers, he claimed.

The minister said that he was planning to bring forth amendments to the Ayurvedic Act to regulate around 3,000 massage parlours registered not with his ministry but with Divisional Secretariats as businesses.

Only 60 massage parlours had so far been registered with the Ministry of Indigenous Medicine, the minister said, adding that around 3,000 other such places were in operation in the country. Most of them had been registered with divisional secretariats.

Sex scandal allegation rocks Sri Lankan cricket

DC | October 29, 2014

Colombo: Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) on Tuesday decided to conduct an inquiry into the claims that the team management and national selectors of the Sri Lanka’s women’s cricket team needed to be sexually pleased by the Sri Lankan eves to get into the team and then retain their places, according to reports.

The news rocked the Sri Lankan cricket and has forced SLC to launch an immediate inquiry into the matter.

Sanath Jayasuriya, chief selector of Sri Lankan men’s national team, SLC secretary Nishantha Ranatunga, assistant secretary Hirantha Perera and SLC vice-president Mohan de Silva are asked to look into the matter.

As per reports, the four-man panel will carry out an inquiry on Thursday and is likely to ask the Sri Lanka’s women’s team management and players to provide evidence.

Top Chinese prosecutor guarantees protection for whistleblowers

BEIJING Tue Oct 28, 2014

(Reuters) - China's top prosecuting body said on Tuesday that whistleblowers who expose corruption and other wrongdoing would receive legal protection against reprisals.

President Xi Jinping has made fighting graft a central theme of his administration, warning that the problem was so severe it could threaten the survival of the ruling Communist Party.

The party is keen to harness the power of the Internet in the fight, although it has been hampered by public suspicion that complaints will be ignored, and also by arrests of and even attacks on online whistleblowers.

A statement on the website of the Supreme People's Procuratorate said it was clarifying the rights of whistleblowers for the first time through new regulations.

"The 'regulations governing the work of whistleblowers' require that when the prosecutor's office receives a whistleblowing report from someone giving their real name, it has to assess the risks from the whistleblowing and develop whistleblower protection plans when necessary to prevent and end acts of retaliation against the whistleblowers," the statement said.

The prosecutor also promised to respond quickly to such reports.

Last year, the party's anti-corruption watchdog, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, set up a new website for whistleblowers.

The government had previously set up a website in 2009 specifically for the reporting of corruption. Authorities have investigated some online accusations and jailed several low-level officials.

It is unclear how many tips the site has received in recent months. From 2008 to 2012 the commission said it received 301,000 whistleblowing reports online.

Still, Beijing does not give legal protection to people who make allegations outside government channels, by using the Twitter-like Weibo service, for example, or even in the mainstream media.

In mid-October, a Chinese investigative journalist who wrote reports critical of a state-controlled construction equipment maker was sentenced to prison after being found guilty of defamation and bribery.

Bangladesh deploys thousands of police after war crimes death sentence

Jamaat-e-Islami party leader convicted by tribunal set up to try those accused of atrocities relating to 1971 war of independence

Authorities in Bangladesh have deployed thousands of police in the event of violence after the leader of the country’s biggest Islamist partywas sentenced to death for crimes committed more than 40 years ago.

Motiur Rahman Nizami, a senior member of the Jamaat-e-Islami (JI), was given the death penalty by a special tribunal set up by the government to try individuals accused of crimes relating to the war of independence from Pakistan in 1971.

The conviction is one of a series over the last 18 months related to the conflict. Several high-profile judgments triggered months of violent protests last year. Clashes intensified in the runup to a contested national election held in January which was boycotted by the main opposition parties.

Enayetur Rahim, the most senior judge on the three-strong tribunal, sentenced Nizami, 71, to be hanged after being found guilty of orchestrating the killing of doctors, intellectuals and others during the conflict.

“It’s a historic verdict,” Haider Ali, chief prosecutor, told reporters outside the packed and heavily guarded court in Dhaka.

News of the sentence provoked violent protests in cities and towns in northern Bangladesh, where police fired baton rounds and used teargas, but the capital, Dhaka, remained calm.

Officials from JI have called for a 24-hour general strike from Thursday and a 48-hour national stoppage from Sunday in protest against the verdict.

Nizami, who is already imprisoned on arms trafficking charges, hadfaced 16 counts including murder, rape, looting, destruction of properties and collaboration with the Pakistan army. He was acquitted of eight charges, but was given life imprisonment in four and death in another four.

“It is a very unhappy judgment and we are going to challenge this in the supreme court,” said Tajul Islam, head of Nizami’s defence team.

The prosecution said the JI leader’s pro-Pakistan al-Badr militia had systematically tortured and executed pro-liberation supporters during the 1971 conflict. Intellectuals including teachers, engineers and journalists were specifically targeted, prosecutors said.

Nizami’s lawyers maintained there was no proof that their client was a member or a commander of al-Badr, and said they would file an appeal with the Bangladesh’s highest court within 30 days.

The Awami League, the ruling party in Bangladesh since 2008, welcomed the tribunal’s decision, saying it “fulfilled people’s expectations”.

The tribunal was set up in 2010 by Sheikh Hasina, leader of the Awami League and daughter of the wartime leader Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, to “secure justice for victims of the 1971 conflict and heal the rifts of the civil war era”, senior party officials say.

It has, however, been divisive. The leader of the opposition Bangladesh Nationalist party (BNP), Khaleda Zia, the widow of the independence war’s best-known military commander who later became president, Ziaur Rahman, has accused Hasina of politicising the tribunal and using it to hound political enemies.

Most of those indicted for war crimes by the tribunal are from JI, an ally of the BNP. Nizami once served as a minister in a BNP-led government.

Despite criticism from human rights groups about politicisation and procedural flaws, the war crimes tribunal has remained broadly popular.

Young people linked to a movement that started in Dhaka in February last year demanding the death penalty for all JI leaders accused of war crimes had waited outside the court rooms for the verdict.

“We are pleased … but we are still worried because we have seen in the past that the tribunal’s judgment had been changed [on appeal],” Maruf Rosul, a member of the youth movement, said.

In September Bangladesh’s supreme court commuted the death sentence of Delwar Hossain Saydee, another JI leader who was sentenced to death in February 2013 on eight counts involving mass killings, rape and other atrocities during the war.

Historians still dispute the number of people killed in the 1971 independence struggle and civil war, which ended after Indian intervention and the collapse of Pakistani resistance. Estimates range from 200,000 to 3 million.

The most serious single charge upheld against Nizami was “planning to commit crimes, killing 450 people, raping 30-40 women and deporting of villagers in Pabna on 14 May 1971”. He was acquitted of killing 70 people from the Hindu community at Brishalikha village on 3 December 1971.

Estimates of the death toll in political violence over 2013 range from about 150 to more than 500. Casualties have been lower since the election, with the BNP and JI apparently aware that they appear to have lost this most recent round of political manoeuvre in the poverty-stricken south Asian state of 150 million inhabitants.

The Kremlin’s $220 Million Man

Igor Shuvalov, Russia’s deputy prime minister, is supposed to have the cleanest hands in the Kremlin. So where’d he get a quarter of a billion dollars?

• BY MICHAEL WEISS-OCTOBER 29, 2014

In 2006, Igor Shuvalov, then one of Vladimir Putin's economic aides and now Russia's first deputy prime minister, used offshore companies to purchase close to $2 million in building materials from a Belgian contractor in order to outfit a lavish greenhouse for his 18.5-acre estate just outside Moscow.

India relaxes rules for foreign investment in construction

A labourer works at the construction site of a residential complex in Kolkata August 29, 2014.

NEW DELHI Wed Oct 29, 2014 

(Reuters) - India on Wednesday relaxed rules for foreign direct investment in construction development, aiming to make it easier for overseas capital to invest in building in Asia's third-largest economy.

The reductions of minimum requirements for built areas and capital may help Prime Minister Narendra Modi deliver on his promise to create 100 "smart cities" in India by 2020.

Previously, the government allowed 100 percent foreign direct investment in real estate development but with strict riders, including a lock-in period of three years during which the investment cannot be repatriated.

Under the new rules, the minimum built area for projects in which foreign investment is allowed will be reduced to 20,000 square metres from 50,000, the government said in a statement late on Wednesday. The minimum capital investment by foreign companies has been cut to $5 million from $10 million.

The investor will be allowed to expatriate the investment on completion of the project or three years after the final investment is made, the statement said.

India received $1.2 billion of foreign direct investment in the fiscal year ended March 31 compared with $1.3 billion the previous year. Between April and August this year it has received foreign investment worth $446 million.

The new rules will encourage development of smaller projects, especially in urban areas, where the availability of land is limited, said Akash Gupt, executive director at PWC.

The risk of delay in smaller projects will be reduced, said Gupt.

Girl's leg shrivels and turns BLACK after snake bite causes her leg to rot away

• WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT 
• Unidentified girl, 13, suffered severe necrosis from a snake bite
• 
  
• Necrosis is the premature death of cells and caused her leg to 'die'
• 
  
• Also suffered a laceration to the artery in her leg which caused bleeding
• 
  
• Treated at first with her indigenous culture's remedies
• 
  
• Finally brought to hospital a month after the incident with the snake
• 
  
• Necrosis has led to a condition called rhabdomyolysis, in which muscle tissue will begin to die throughout the body
• 
  

By MADLEN DAVIES FOR MAILONLINE-, 27 October 2014 

This horrific picture shows a young girl's leg that has shrivelled and turned completely black after being bitten by a snake.

The snake’s venom caused severe necrosis – the premature death of cells.

This caused the tissue in her leg to die, leaving it withered and rotten. 

The 13 year old girl suffered severe necrosis - the premature death of cells - due to a snake bite that was treated with local indigenous remedies for a month before she was brought to a hospital in Carcaras

The 13-year-old girl, who is unidentified, was first treated by remedies from the indigenous culture she was from, according to a photograph posted on Instagram by the username 'juventudmedica'.

A month later she was eventually brought to Carcaras, Venezuela,for medical treatment.

One doctor, who has seen the photograph, told MailOnline the girl will need her leg amputated but is still likely to die from the snake venom.

Dr Arun Ghosh, a private GP in Liverpool, said: ‘Snake venom is very complicated and depends on the species of snake.

'But the picture shows clearly severe tissue necrosis that will need amputation, though she still may die from this due to the nature of the poison.

‘The whole lower leg is black, it’s spreading up. Looking at the rest of her body she’s showing signs of muscle wastage from the poison. Her other leg is thin. It's likely she will still die.' 

He added that the necrosis has led to a condition called rhabdomyolysis, in which muscle tissue will begin to die throughout the body.

Rhabdomyolysis can result in damage to the kidneys, which coupled with low blood pressure, can lead to kidney failure and even death if left untreated, he said.

Being treated with local remedies probably meant she was given antibiotics, but not treatment to adequately control poisoning from the snake venom, which contains agents that paralyse the nerves and cause the blood to clot.

Snake venom, such as from the bothrops viper common in Venezuela, contains agents that paralyse the nerves and cause the blood to clot so the snake can paralyse its prey

Dr Ghosh said: ‘This girl has had classic rural treatment which is often only able to treat local infection secondary to the bite (at best say equal to antibiotics).

'But she is unlikely to have received anti-venom treatment (which entails giving  treatment to stop blood clotting) to keep her blood flowing through her body.’ 

The photograph’s caption said the girl also suffered a broken elbow from the incident with the snake.

The bite caused a laceration to the artery in her leg and the resulting bleeding led to what's known as ‘compartment syndrome'.

This is a serious condition when pressure within a compartment such as the leg causes a decrease in blood supply to the affected muscles.

Compelling Evidence of Ebola Fraud in the United States. Plasma Transfusion

October 27, 2014

This article discusses compelling—and very nearly conclusive—evidence of Ebola fraud in the United States. The evidence we now have indicates, by force of deductive logic, that it cannot possibly be true that Dr. Kent Brantly and Nancy Writebol were both incompatible with Thomas Eric Duncan for plasma transfusion purposes.

That is, what follows shows that the U.S Government/MSM’s plasma transfusion stories pertaining to Brantly and Writebol are necessarily false, since if they were true, either Brantly or Writebol (but not both) would have been compatible with Duncan for purposes of plasma transfusion—but we are told that neither was.

Click here to see that we are told that Writebol was not compatible with Duncan for plasma transfusion purposes—or with any of the other U.S. Ebola patients either (at least including Sacra and Mukpo and probably Pham as well) either.Click here to see that we are told that Brantly was not compatible with Duncan for plasma transfusion purposes either.

Please note with respect to the subsequent analysis that donor/recipient compatibility for purposes of plasma transfusion is not the same as donor/recipient compatibility from the standpoint of whole blood compatibility. Thus, as ABC “News” notes, for example: “Though blood type O is considered the universal donor for whole blood, type AB is the universal donor for plasma, according to the Red Cross.”

Here is a table specifying blood type donor/recipient compatibility for the purpose of plasma transfusion, which is the sort of transfusion Brantly and Writebol (having supposedly donated to the NYC doctor Craig Spencer) are said to have been involved in:

Patient Group       Compatible Plasma DonorA        A, ABB        B, ABAB        ABO        O, AB, A, B

http://mytransfusion.com.au/node/blood-groups-and-compatibility

Now consider that Brantly is said to have matched Sacra, Mukpo, and Pham but not Duncan.

Writebol is said to have matched none of the four. As the chart shows, Writebol cannot have been AB, because AB is a universal donor for plasma purposes and so if she were AB, she would have matched everyone.

But, Writebol cannot be O either, and that this is so follows from her own words, which appear in an October 2 interview she did with Science Insider:

“Q: Did you have a blood transfusion?

N.W.: I did. I had blood transfusions in Liberia and Emory. Neither was convalescent serum, though. There wasn’t a match.”

As the above chart shows, however, if Writebol’s blood type for plasma transfusion purposes were O, she would have matched any plasma donor blood type. Therefore, she is not an O.

And in case you are hesitating due to the supposition that “convalescent serum” and “plasma” refer to different things in the present context, consider that a plasma-type blood transfusion is exactly what Sacra, Mukpo, and Pham were said (over and over again) to have received from Brantly, and that, via the Washington Post:

“Injecting the blood of a patient such as Brantly, who has recovered from Ebola and developed certain antibodies, is a decades-old but promising method of treatment that, academics and health officials agree, could be one of the best means to fight Ebola. Called a convalescent serum, it might also save Pham, an alum of Texas Christian University. 

“Convalescent serum is high on our list of potential therapies and has been used in other outbreaks,” a WHO spokesman told Science magazine in August. “There is a long history of its use, so lots of experience of what needs to be done, what norms and standards need to be met.”

Just in case you still need more convincing on this point, this language from another Washington Post article will very likely remove any residual doubt:

“The Nebraska hospital treating Ebola patient Ashoka Mukpo said that he is scheduled on Wednesday to receive the same convalescent serum from the same donor – Ebola survivor Kent Brantly – as American doctor Rick Sacra received several weeks ago. 

Mukpo, a freelance cameraman who was diagnosed with Ebola while working for the network in Liberia, will receive some of Brantly’s blood as part of his treatment against the virus at the Nebraska Medical Center. 

In September, Brantly, an American doctor, donated some of his plasma to Sacra, who was also treated at the Nebraska Medical Center.”

So Writebol is neither AB nor O. Therefore, she is either A or B. Brantly, we are told, is A. Writebol’s type cannot also be A, since Brantly, we are told, miraculously matched Sacra, Mukpo and Pham while Writebol, we are told, did not. We are left with B for Writebol. But Duncan’s family has said that Duncan was also B—and so Writebol should have matched Duncan, but we are told she did not.

The foregoing provides compelling reasons for concluding that the Government/MSM Axis’ plasma transfusion narratives are fraudulent. Obviously, this raises questions as whether the entirety of the U.S. Ebola narrative as presented by Government and the MSM is fraudulent.

As noted at the outset, we now have another plasma transfusion narrative in regard to Writebol and the New York City doctor Craig Spencer. Might this plasma transfusion narrative be fraudulent as well, and might, therefore, the NYC “Ebola” case as well as the other United States cases amount to nothing more than mass-mediated fraud?
