A Drama in Four Acts: Dishonest Reportage by Amnesty International and Aussie Journalists remains Unmasked-by Michael Roberts Source:Thuppahis Michael Roberts, courtesy of Colombo Telegraph, https://www.colombotelegraph.com/index.php/dishonest-reportage-by-ai-aussie-journalists-remains-unmasked-a-drama-in-two-acts/, 2 September 2015, where it is presented in Two Acts A. Thoughts on My Abject Failure On the 31st March 2011 a panel of lawyers appointed by Ban Ki-Moon submitted a review of the Sri Lankan War IV without ever visiting the island. The report was composed in the manner of a prosecuting team rather than a judicial assessment. It was as slipshod in its methodology as flawed in several of its conclusions. Nevertheless, it is widely cited in a number of quarters, quarters hostile to the admittedly distasteful Rajapaksa Regime and happy to have any cane to beat up their activities. A headmaster wielding a cane must have judiciousness on his side. Moral crusaders such as, say, Amnesty International must adhere to ethics in presentation and quotation. But, as it happens, the ...
Noel News “The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance.” CICERO – 55 BC This is an early newsletter: The Federal Budget will be delivered on Tuesday 9 May, after which I’ll be doing a special bulletin. Labor has already promised no more changes to super but I’ll believe that when I see it.

Inflation The Reserve Bank usually announces interest-rate movements on the first Tuesday of the month, which means the next announcement will come on Tuesday next week. Of course, there are the ...
Party time as the Walawwa has double celebration for Avuruddu and a decade in business – BY TREVINE RODRIGO IN MELBOURNE The Walawwa broke with tradition this year and sprang an unexpected double celebration, treating family, friends, fans and Labor politicians to a feast and traditional Sri Lankan entertainment at it’s central headquarters in Noble Park, in Melbourne. Celebrating Sinhala Avuruddu over a week later, and 10 years in business simultaneously, was a clever strategy for two special occasions. And they delivered with the style and class that the Walawwa is now becoming famous for. Managing Directors Shehan Wijewardena and Nash Samarakoon showed their appreciation to those nearest, who have travelled the uncertain terrain the business has endured from its inception. It has now risen and established itself as a popular and successful chain of Cafes and Restaurant around Melbourne’s South Eastern suburbs. What makes them a special and dynamic ...

Osteoporosis among Sri Lankan women – By Dr harold Gunatillake Website: www.Doctorharold.com Women are far more likely than men to develop osteoporosis — a condition of weak and fragile bones that make you prone to fractures: Of the 10 million For Americans with osteoporosis, 80 percent are women.

Harry Belafonte, entertainer and civil rights activist, dies at 96-by Hillel Italie Source:Theage New York: Harry Belafonte, the civil rights and entertainment giant who began as a groundbreaking actor and singer and became an activist, humanitarian and conscience of the world, has died. He was 96. Belafonte died on Tuesday (US time) of congestive heart failure at his New York home, his wife Pamela by his side, said publicist Ken Sunshine. With his glowing, handsome face and silky-husky voice, Belafonte was one of the first black performers to gain a wide following on film and to sell a million records as a singer. Many still know him for his signature hit Banana Boat Song (Day-O), and its call of “Day-O! Daaaaay-O.” But he forged a greater legacy once he scaled back his performing career in the 1960s and lived out his hero Paul Robeson’s decree that artists are “gatekeepers of truth”. Belafonte ...
