I Posted 39 Times on War, Power, and What Comes Next

January 11, 2020

I posted obsessively about war, power, and what might happen next, using certainty and volume to push through a day that was really driven by anxiety underneath.

I'll just make more friends. I think Mark Webber, from Vericlave, or somebody along the way can introduce me to Bob Bigman, the CIA's CISO. I anyway only need them for my business and future. I'll work them. I don't really care.███████████████████

My friend, Thulan Amarasinghe, I called him yesterday, he told me it's only the 8th of Jan 2020, and their legal department takes time and is finishing up their last year's work. I called Ravi at the legal department, he confirmed. I'm upset they're taking time to send me back a counter signed NDA.

I'm friendly and cut a deal with Srinath Wijayakumara. He's gently reminded Ruchira. A lot of people are working in my favour. Thilanga uncle and Gotabaya Rajapaksa's influence and support and everything is doing wonders for my perception--people want to shake my hand.

Talking about political capital, he's the state minister for technology and innovation. He must be able to pay $10,000 if we're doing a pen test using state funds.

Okay fine, I'm wrong.

████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████

I'll reply to this remaining question you posed in another comment because it's worth thinking about at this time. I like your perspective, and I'm thinking about it deeply. I genuinely appreciate the respect you show me because this is a controversial, sensitive topic at this time and I know people can get upset talking about this.

7:00 PM (b)

Alvin Chua

The US is the world's only superpower -- even Russia's president Putin admitted this. You should read Rogue State: A Guide to the World's Only Superpower (2000) by William Blum. I have a feeling you'll like this book. I was of course, sad to see the war in Iraq and even Vietnam because it's innocent people and kids who suffer most. I'd recommend watching Apocalypse Now (1979) to understand the Vietnam war. Those Agent Orange generational birth defects are sickening. It's a very cruel, unfair world, and that was very sad.

In the beginning, the US attacked those countries for strategic interests such as to earn money by pushing capitalism and installing friendly dictators, but then it became about us/ US/ free 1st world versus them/ Russia/ 3rd world. I accept this, but this is not the case any longer. If you observe closely, US policies to import helped a lot of countries grow and escape poverty. It's not a might is right or zero sum game any longer. Warren Buffet's best friend Charlie Munger claims the US had intentional lopsided trade policies up until recently to buy Chinese products to help millions escape poverty.

We have limited choice and power. It's not like how we can choose to be a vegetarian to avoid the supply chain where an animal is "sinfully killed" for us. In war, you don't get a choice. You don't get to choose who you are. Can you choose not to be Chinese? If you are a Jew, your fate is mostly predestined according to their scriptures. If you are Muslim, you will be a Muslim. You don't get a choice. Do you think Israel wants Iran to constantly scream about how Iran wants to nuke Israel? Of course not. However, in facing reality, you must act. You must respond to the threat.

The US dropped more bombs on Vietnam than all the bombs dropped during WW2. The US wiped off the Red Indians and grabbed the land in the name of Christianity. I know the US isn't a perfect country and I know they do evil. The CIA spied on Singapore and tried bribing LKY with $2mn. They're not always good people.

Oops, wait a minute..! Okay, fine, they did just that in the past such as with helping the Afghan Mujahideen to fight the Soviets. But these acts were mainly for foreign policy strategies. Installing friendly governments is for earning profits.

No. Well, I mean, yes, in WW2, it was important to attack Germany. But the decision to use nukes is always a tough decision to make. Germany mostly attacked Britain (and maybe US troops) and tried attacking Russia, but not the US, unlike Japan. Only the US had nukes. So, no to nuking Germany although it was an option and a card that could've been played had Germany refused to surrender.

In fact, in my cybersecurity company Cyberspace Command, we aren't allowed by many US partners to help Iran, China and Russia. I'm not supposed to help Iran because Iran is apparently a "terrorist country" and I'm not supposed to help Russia or China because my US partners told me they're afraid they want to reverse engineer or find ways to hack US technologies.

Our petroleum infrastructure in Sri Lanka is designed to facilitate Iranian oil according to a friend who I discussed this with. We also obtained RPGs from Iran during our war with the LTTE. I don't genuinely hate or want Iran nuked unless needed.

11:45 PM

Alvin ████,

Every country is different. Every person is different. I understand your perspective. It's not fair to nuke Iran because innocent people will be murdered. █████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████

In any case in law, Alvin, you must have an issue, a rule, an application of the rule as you must be able to because of how you carefully wrote down things to come up with a rationale and then a conclusion.█████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████

So, how do you stop them? Let's talk carrot and stick motivation. Obama gave Iran money to delay nukes, they still didn't stop. There were sanctions, they didn't stop. What next?

The JFK era Democrat in me wants to believe in you. Life is often a contest between ideals and truth, and in this case, the argument to spend trillions to help Iran and save lives instead of trillions to███████████████████████████████████████████████ is the only way "to help" people. But this isn't true because even █████████████████████████████████████████████████Sri Lanka's 4/21/2019 bombers were wealthy spice merchants.

███████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████ I should go treat myself for a breakfast today because it's a holiday. I'll go to Shangri La because they have a special Easter Sunday special menu just like limited edition McDonald's menu items.* Then, I go to the only restaurant in Shangri La, and I'm eating my food with maybe a friend or two, with a friend called Alvin and Edwin from Singapore, who came to visit me in Sri Lanka on Easter Sunday█████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████

I'm going to call it a night. I'm pretty tired. I think our servers faced an electronic attack from Saudi Arabia. This was about 7:36 p.m. Sri Lanka Time on Thu 9 Jan 2020, from a Saudi Arabia IP Address, and according to Google Analytics and our tracking cookies, we can see how it was carried out; nothing happened as far as we can tell.

████It's been a long time coming. I'm happy. I'm sad.███████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████. War is disgusting. I think the armaments business is disgusting. Jagath mami and then Udhantha showed me. I was very disappointed.

I met Thilanga mami. I spoke with Jagath mami. He advised me to get things in writing for our project, which we have--but not letters which customers won't give us. Indrajith Jayaratne is trying to help us or at least pretending to. Janaka Mayakaduwa aiya advised me to work on all enterprise customers simultaneously. I'll have to wait for Dialog Axiata PLC to press ahead with us, to escalate appropriately.

I'm going to sleep soon. I'm getting tired. I drank about 300ml of Coca Cola. I love it. It's my favourite drink. I love the taste haha. I have a great family. I'm happy for my sister Lehara, she had a great birthday. I'll wait till we reach a stable financial position before reducing my ████████████████████████████

Their people are very amiable and I think they give me a slight upper hand hehehe. I asked ███████████████ to give me a exception when it comes to freedom of speech because accounts in Sri Lanka are subject to heightened sensitivity on Facebook as hate speech incites violence.

I'm watching Magic City. I ate my sister Lehara's birthday cake with vanilla ice cream. I was thinking about Eragon and how Galbatorix died due to an empathy spell. I think I also struggle with empathy because my family did so much stuff to everyone.

I'm watching Magic City. I had a dejavu moment. It's like I've been here before many, many times before. I can't believe I'm Lehan sometimes. I dunno what I'm doing.

1:00 a.m.

I had about 4 cigarettes from Dunhill and 1 Lime Vodka Mojito, a whiskey sour I didn't drink because I didn't like it -- I don't like the taste of Whiskey, and I had a great time eating -- the lamb chops were good and hanging out with family, at Wagisha akki's birthday party at All Star Sports Lounge which is basically Sporting Star's lounge.

1:30 a.m.

12:15 p.m.

I'm just getting up. Last night's Mojito was pretty good. I don't like whiskey or whisky sours. It was Iruka aiya's alcohol. I have some plans for this. The All Star needs to get a liquor license. Even Butler's needs a liquor license from Tourism board or something.

I'm having an important meeting tomorrow with Mihiran Perera. He's applied to be our COO. I decided he's got the ambition and seems trustworthy, we can work with him. He's going to tackle NDB and Union Bank. Maybe Commercial Bank too.

The thing is my team are like my partners. They sit at the table. I only handpicked my leaders. They chose to be there. They can hire 10 people extra or do anything they like. So, automatically we become 7 x 10 = 70 people. I'm excited to grow into 8 countries via Axiata.

I only pick the CEO, COO, CIO, CTO, CMO, CSO, VPS and CFO. I'm doing the chairman, CEO and CFO job. 1,000s of people want to work for me, I filter down to 10, and select 1. It's all based on trust. At the higher level, trust is the only thing that matters. I don't care about technical skills or who they know.

12:30 p.m.

Our business transformed into an institution. It's turned into a cult, a secret society, a mafia outfit. This makes sense because it builds loyalty, which we need, and also because we engage in ███████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████. I love it. A young Michael Corleone.

Or Lee Kuan Yew. I don't know. I do know I believe an institution must outlive the creator and not depend precariously upon individual personalities such as mine. I love cults, gangs, whatever. I must be a criminal to be making this kind of profit so fast at this age.

1:15 p.m.

Omg! This dude in Magic City is Jeffrey Dean Morgan! The bad ass villain Negan in The Walking Dead. I love this show. Ike Evans reminds me of Dr Hans Wijayasuriya.

3:30 p.m.

I like Magic City with Jeffrey Dean Morgan. I had milk rice for breakfast. I ate cake and then fried potato wedges for lunch. I read smoking is bad on Teen Health. I saw articles on health. I'm a bit sad I never got HPV vaccines. I hope I never get HPV even though I sleep around so much. I'm 26, I hope I'm not too old to get it. I'm just scared my kids will get autism because I took a HPV vaccine.

6:00 p.m.

:')

7:15 p.m.

I'm liking Magic City with Jeffrey Dean Morgan. It's pretty good. Mihiran Perera will see me tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 p.m., we'll discuss working together. He can have Union Bank, Commercial Bank, National Development Bank and also Hatton National Bank.

I'm disappointed with my grandmother painting, "Achiammi". I need to use a mirror next time. I love to paint beautiful paintings. There's so much majesty. There's so much time, effort, attention, heart and soul that goes into magic.

I think that Mihiran Perera will make a great COO. He can handle the key accounts. I handle Dialog and Central Bank and Sampath Bank accounts. Shathaka handles SLT.

8:00 p.m.

This Magic City is a s*** show hahaha, I'm just forcing myself to watch it. I'm angry my business is going slowly. But it's just the 2nd week. Dialog's probably catching up on last year's legal work as Thulan Amarasinghe informed me. I like this pace anyway.

I like Magic City. It's like how I liked beer. It's an acquired taste. I'm doing pretty great. I did a 10 minute elliptical machine jog. Jeez- Magic City is crazy. This is a good show. A girl got shot. I like it. I like violence, pretty girls and crime. ███████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████

8:15 p.m.

I really like Magic City, it's a recommendation because I liked The Sopranos. I love that show, the Godfather, Sons of Anarchy, Mayans because they're all about gangs, Cyberspace Command is a gang. I love that. I study crime to be an organised career criminal. A high tech, hyper sophisticated and clever criminal who only does crime because I must.
