This is not a war on terror. It is a racist war on all Tamils The horror that is unfolding in Sri Lanka becomes possible because of the silence that surrounds it. There is almost no reporting in the mainstream Indian media – or indeed in the international press – about what is happening there. Why this should be so is a matter of serious concern. From the little information that is filtering through, it looks as though the Sri Lankan government is using the propaganda of “the war on terror” as a fig leaf to dismantle any semblance of democracy in the country, and commit unspeakable crimes against the Tamil people. Working on the principle that every Tamil is a terrorist unless he or she can prove otherwise, civilian areas, hospitals and shelters are being bombed and turned into a war zone. Reliable estimates put the number of civilians trapped at over 200000. The Sri Lankan army is advancing, armed with tanks and aircraft. Meanwhile, there are official reports that several “welfare villages” have been established to house displaced Tamils in Vavuniya and Mannar districts. According to a report in the Daily Telegraph, these villages “will be compulsory holding centres for all civilians fleeing the fighting”. Is this a euphemism for concentration camps? Mangala Samaraveera, the former foreign minister, told the Telegraph: “A few months ago the government started registering all Tamils in Colombo on the grounds that they could be a security threat, but this could be …
NEW: Auditions close 12:00 midnight (Pacific Time) on Jan.25 1010. The part of Mulan was casted in the first round, all other roles are open. Try to audition for as many as possible. Thanks! ADDED: Almost forgot. I stated that the due date was Dec.25 and it’s been brought to my attention I didn’t include a specific time slot. Final videos will be accepted at 12:00 midnight Pacific time. Thanks! By popular demand, I’ve decided to turn Ghost Story into a bit of a mini-series. So to do that, I’ll need some voice actors! Some info on the show: link to theme song: www.youtube.com The premise is basically that two people have been murdered, one of them we know is Odette, but we don’t know who the other person is. One of the people who have been killed is one of the six main characters (Marina, Jim, Clopin, Mulan, Tulio or Jafar) and the killer is also one of the six. The only thing is, who’s the ghost and who’s the killer? A better question: why would they kill this person, and why is this person still haunting? It’s a bit of a mystery thriller adventure kinda thing. :] Info on characters: Marina: Very straight forward, edgy, not easily pushed around (kinda like in her original movie). A bit sarcastic as well. Jim: Young but smart, knows what he’s doing and is a step ahead of anyone else. Very bright, educated and intillegent. Brave as well. Clopin: Seems to be a bit lost sometimes but really isn’t. He may act a bit whacky, but he’s so pulled together and ahead of everyone else …
