Founder & Principal Consultant

From field intelligence to public strategy

Kagusthan Ariaratnam, Founder of Project O Five
Founder & Principal Consultant
Project O Five Ltd
Founded  September 2015 HQ  Ottawa, Ontario, Canada Focus  OSINT · Counterterrorism · Global Peace

Background

At seventeen, Kagusthan Ariaratnam was abducted by the Tamil Tigers and thrust into a world of violence and espionage. Trained as a child soldier and later rising through the ranks to become a key intelligence officer, he witnessed firsthand the inner workings of one of the world’s most feared insurgent groups.

Disillusioned with their brutal tactics and the human cost of their cause, he made the courageous and perilous decision to defect to Sri Lankan military intelligence — a decision that would ultimately help bring about the downfall of the Tamil Tigers.

Project O Five

Founded in September 2015 in Ottawa, Ontario, Project O Five is an independent non-profit organization dedicated to fostering global security, international peace, and informed civic engagement. It operates at the intersection of open-source research and global strategy, translating complex geopolitical dynamics into actionable public awareness around counter-radicalization, counterterrorism, and international relations.

Mission: to foster international peace by contributing to the creation and maintenance of a State of Global Terrorist Deterrence.

Our Perspective

Security Through Equity

True security cannot be achieved through military measures alone. Deep-seated global inequality creates fertile ground for grievance, radicalization, and conflict.

Approximately five billion people across the Global South live under extreme poverty, surviving on just 20% of the world’s resources — while the remaining 80% is consumed by the industrialized Global North.

ANALYZING SOURCE DATA…
DECLASSIFIED · THE GLOBAL DISPARITY

Addressing the root causes of terrorism requires addressing systemic disenfranchisement, poverty, and powerlessness. We advocate for a comprehensive approach — combating extremism politically, diplomatically, economically, socially, culturally, and educationally — toward a world where peace is sustained not by force, but by justice and equity.
