The rewriting of the mahavamsa is great. That will certainly make Rajapaksa not a President but a King, or even a God, as I wrote in my document on Rajapaksa’s Oxford fiasco.
Ive just sent some money to some of my Sinhalese friends in Colombo asking them to get to the vanni and let me know what is going on. They returned with some invaluable info which I’ll publish asap. One fascinating bit of info is that ALL the exercise books available there have a picture of Rakapaksa on the front cover. On the back cover is a letter written in Tamil and signed by “Namal Anna” – Rajapaksa’s son, currently being groomed to succeed Rajapaksa. I hope to get a copy of this invaluable book.
So, Rajapaksa is moving forward to establish his Gadaffi-like dynasty. The rewriting of the Mahavamsa is just part of this. It does not surprise me in the least. It is ‘as expected’.
The Katunayaka Internationl airport (once the Bandaranike International airport) has to be renamed yet again and called the Rajapaksa International Airport, and the BMICH (Bandaranaike Memorial International Conference Hall) renamed “MRMICH” (Mahinda Rajapaksa Memorial International….) the new airport in Hambantota that the Chinese are building for Rajapaksa MUST be named “The Namal Rajapaksa International Airport”. So also the renaming and naming of the Colombo harbor (the Mahinda Rajapaksa harbour) and the Hambantota harbour (the Namal Rajapaksa harbour).
The next step is to rename Sri Lanka – as I’ve said in my Oxford article – call it Rajapaksaland or Rajapakistan, and for good measure, to give it the necessary veneration – Sri Rajapakistan (formerly Sri Lanka).
These are essential steps that must be taken by a grateful people. To do any less is to be a Tamil Tiger terrorist or, as I am, a Sinhalese traitor..
