Who are those so-called Whistleblowers and Patriots popping up on many Social Media platforms suddenly? I confronted a few such people with genuine request to show us, where the funding comes from, but all my requests were either met with some වැට උඩ answers or total silence. Then I suddenly realized that some of my postings have been removed from those sites. One such site boasts that it would response to any query within a few hours. I requested the site to explain as to why seemingly innocuous request of mine was not met. It was met with deaf silence. Although, I can see online that they have seen my request. More than 24 hours later, I sent another and it is yet to be answered. That too had been read by someone again. This makes me wonder, who are these people really? Are they real Whistleblowers or they are here with hidden agendas and to blow someone else’s trumpets? Like any sensible person, you should also ask from them, where their funding comes from?

I had been having some arguments with someone claiming to be a  True Patriot on one of the social Media platforms. This was one of my rejoinder to one of his posting. Now the so-called Patriot has taken steps, so my rejoinder will not be visible to other visitors there.

My sincere apology is extended to them as well. We all strive so hard, go overseas looking for work so that our next generation will be in a better position than us. And so if they choose an alien land as their next place o...

There are two kinds of Patriots in Sri Lanka. One is the silent kind who really understands the real meaning of patriotism and does everything that is possible in their own small ways to ensure that no harm is done to their beloved country. The other kind is the most vocal and most loud kind. They show their patriotism only in public but do not thing to keep their country away from harm’s way. The loud and vocal kind is seasonal, like flu. They appear like mushrooms after a rain, when something perceived to be harmful to the country only. Let me explain this a little more. Take the recent Geneva meet and the subsequent voting. The social networks and blogs were awash with them publically bullshitting patriotism. The vote is over now and none of them are anywhere to be seen again until the next rain. The reputation, integrity etc of any country can be harmed in two ways. First is an external threat and the second is internal threat. External threats can be negated with diplomacy and e...
