The persistence of the Church's demand for a maha molakaru or mastermind essentially takes us to a bigger question surrounding suicide terrorism. A mastermind can indoctrinate a single person but when entire families choose to commit suicide or sacrifice their lives for a cause – that objective can never be political. The Church has actually helped us discover the answer. That answer lies not in who gave the order, who supplied the explosives, who did the training or who was behind the entire team. The answer lies in the question... -Full Story- (LankaWeb - 26/09/26)

Evidence presented during the court case on Easter Sunday terrorist attacks is absolutely horrifying. The level of satanic extremist obsession of the entire accused lot is beyond anything Sri Lanka's legal system has ever witnessed. The convicted group did not challenge the evidence, hence, accepted it. Their dispute was with the judgement because according to their extremist views only a mythical creature is capable of delivering judgement. A few of them pointed to the sky hinting at it. Fascination with own death and the deaths of hundreds of others as evidenced by the evidentiary material is... -Full Story- (LankaWeb - 26/09/26)

The dispute surrounding the Umpire Decision Review System (DRS) centers on allegations that the International Cricket Council (ICC) and its legal team—specifically former Head of Legal David Becker, Jonathan Hall, and Sally Clark—used flawed legal opinions to bypass the intellectual property rights of Colombo-based Sri Lankan lawyer Senaka Weeraratna. Weeraratna conceptualized and published the foundational four-pillar "Player Referral" blueprint in March 1997, nine years before the ICC adopted it and rolled it out officially in November 2009.
