DARK SIDE OF THE MOON
The Game Behind alleged Lankan war Crimes
Aron
Liberation theology at loggerheads with Tamils
at Lanka who seek a peaceful negotiated new life, and the game played by
Remnants of LTTE overseas fearing loss of coffers and possible prosecution. A
settlement is imminent points our analysis.

All insurrections and Terrorism thrives on the weakness of its foes which are
psychological.
Mainly these weaknesses are the Achilles heel of its enemies- who invariably are
State players and a perceived brute majority and the anarchist siege takesadvantage of this perception playing upon the asymmetry of the Conflict.
In this it calls upon a set of superior forces to prevail over its foes on moral
grounds by projecting this perceived vulnerability of a segment of humanity to a
perceived aggression against this humanity by working on the bond of this
humanity they share.
This worked well as long as the equation was merely seen as an asymmetrical
conflict where a segment of humanity is at rebellion against a superior entity- a
State or a Majority population at whose mercies was the legitimate rights and
existence of vulnerable minority humanity.
Even behind this paradigm of the underdog as a legitimate rebellion of liberation
from the oppression of a superior entity, were already in place an agreed upon
legitimization of this projection of conflicts by the prevailing global powers.
Which were the penultimate Conflict of ethical forces- International Communism
and its global thrust of expansionism?
The tacit approval of this Sympathy for the causes of liberation movements was
based on this Containment of Soviet Empire and International Communism rather
than as a cause per se.
The shrewd former head of the LTTE K Pathmanathan articulates this very clearly-
that the LTTE kept losing on the ground because of its failure to grasp this Shift of
Global paradigm regarding Liberation movements post 9/11.
The failure of its Strategic perception towards this change in International
sympathy from a legitimization and tacit approval to that of zero tolerance to
armed insurrections since 9/11 attacks by Al qaeda as a common threat surely
lead to its disappointment in an expected Intervention to halt the Lankan Armys
swift and steady advance till it almost nearly wiped out the LTTE.

Almost, since the International wing of its operations were spared and let to
continue with its work although with constraints and frustrating clamp downs.
ANOTHER TECTONIC POLICY SHIFT
Just like the LTTE failed to grasp the Shift in the prevailing global powers
paradigms regarding Liberation movements- the Lankan state too had failed to
note a recent Re-Shift of their stand.
This was the Arab Springs being presented as an opportunity to the prevailing
global powers-particularly those seeking Democratization of the Islamic world.
Despite many alarms sounded about this line of policy to help actively armed
insurrections with an aim to usher in a democratic regime change as a step
towards the western dispensation and away from radical Islamization.
That waiting on the wings of the cheered up Uprising movements- were the very
Islamist forces of radicalization that would replace the pro-western though
despotic regimes.
That exactly was the disastrous result of this reshift of active encouragement of
armed struggles of liberation at the Arab world.
Instead of democracy and more freedom and liberal values-the Arab Springs
became Islamist springs and all that it achieved was empowering the Islamic
Brotherhood, Salaafists, Ennhada and its likes in place of the Mubaraks and
Gaddafis.
This subtle shift of prevailing western alliance is what is now playing out at Lanka
as a renewed shift in focus selectively on the Lankan conduct of its ending to the
decades long civil war.
This is what has renewed the hopes and ambitions of a previously obvious lost
cause of reviving the Liberation struggle and secession at Lanka by the Tamils.

The question now is- how far would they go?
To obtain a clear answer to this question- we must weigh in balance the most
recent developments, the shift in western alliances interests and its sympathies
and most importantly the impact of this shift in one of the main ideologicalsponsors of this particular Liberation movement-that of the Vatican and its
Liberation theology.
We need to weigh these with the Will of the people on whose behalf this
liberation cause was mooted.
Therein lies the weakest link in the chain.
Unlike Arab springs where the masses suffering the oppressive regime were
almost on a single platform supportive to the Uprising and change of political
order, the Lankan Tamils are at their tethers end and have no such widespread
moral support to the cause of an uprising anymore.
They are disillusioned with this Liberation and their will is for a peaceful co-
existence.
The Will of the concerned people on the ground there at Lanka being at odds with
the Political drive of its overseas remnants of the Liberation cause sets thisparticular Conflict apart from the Arab Springs.
When worked upon, this singular factor would frustrate any such misapplication
of Arming an Uprising at lanka as an extension of Arab Springs.
However, this opportunity would not be left untested and tried to its utmost.
But it is futile to work on an Uprising when the people there hardly enthusiastic
about another conflict.
So the real question is why then this Drama of Lankan war Crimes ?
To arrive at the answer to this we must take a look at all the Players of this Game
and we will smile at the only possible Game ending.

We said Drama- since this couldve been avoided if Lanka had foreseen all this
and worked upon the Diaspora remnants of the LTTE and thrashed out an
understanding.
That is exactly they are doing now.
Dont be surprised that all this fuss is about to fizzle out.
Lawyers are all just about such stuff.
And Out of Court settlements.
DARK SIDE OF THE MOON-THE GAMES THEY PLAY
We will continue our analysis of the Game, in our next installment.
In that we would show how the International Intervention at the last hour never
materialized and this reckless game boomeranged on LTTe on the ground during
the Lankan war.
How that devastating failed expectation was given another lease of life-by ArabSprings.
How Liberation theology came centre stage at Vatican during this most crucial
hour- redefining the western alliances perceptions about the Liberation cause of
Tamils.
How all this was in response to Fear of the LTTE remnants in its culpability in the
Lankan Conflict and its crimes against humanity.
How all this was also about money fear that it would be lost.
And how all this was acted upon to push them into a Game that they cannot win.
More importantly, how International activist lawyers were deployed to turn the
tables on Lanka at the UN.

That not only was Lankans exonerated for its conduct of war but was in a position
to prosecute the LTTe remnants for its contribution to LTTEs long struggle.
How media was then set upon to manipulate ill informed masses.
How this fear made them rework the table arrangement so that they were
reassured that they could have the money and fear no future prosecution.
To the clueless puppets of the ambitious political puppeteers- what seems a
cornered Lankan regime for its subterfuge and hiding of its real or imagined
crimes-
The real Game is quite the opposite.
There are no such political opportunities to be played.
The Settlement is about reassurance to the LTTe remnants that they would not be
prosecuted ever.
Their money would be left with them but only thing getting negotiated perhaps
would be that this not be deployed for any Conflict Resumption.
That the Lawyers hardly have in mind and would go for it.
Unless the political extremist minority within the minority make them believe in a
futile round of wasted time and efforts bearing the cross of Liberation theology.
We believe the LTTe remnants have enough wisdom and acumen to thrash out a
settlement and begin a fresh chapter moving forward marginalizing a dwindling
minority of War drum beaters.
If we probe the dark Side of the moon- we would be able to see how a
beleaguered bunch of a terror network called upon International activist Lawyers
and a willing media house to rescue them from a tight spot of having to face
Prosecution for crimes against humanity.
And how they just delivered that bail out, since thats exactly their professional
service.

To start with we must read carefully the successive Resolutions of the UN HRC
and how it put the fear of possible Prosecution for crimes against humanity in the
minds of the LTTE overseas remnants and how it made them hire the guys to bail
them out and orchestrate this Drama.
