7:00 p.m.
I am working on my laptop. I keep my laptop on top of my lap. I worry and hope the radiation has not made me impotent hehe.
I am doing two things at once:
(1) I am writing a request on "my favourite person" to Dr Babette Rothschild. I will keep it concise, short enough to fit a business letter.
(2) I am redesigning our website. Our website looks stunning, albeit I suffer from the "Artist's Curse":
The accursed person who designs something believes it is beautiful, although others may not agree.
When I oil painted my grandmother's portrait, it was majestic. Many complimented me. However, when I look at it from a mirror, upside down, or flipped vertically or horizontally, I was dismayed. It looked hideous.

In the Qur'an, Imtiyaz Gaffoor showed me, when Prophet Muhammad was walking through a town, a woman would throw rubbish on him. He ignored it. One day, she did not do it. Mommo investigated, saw she was sick, then helped her. She was stunned. She changed.
Tis the tale of the infamous taming of the shrew by William Shakespeare, as well. Christopher Sly, *sigh*, I cannot remember, and I care not.

I saw my uncle Lal's wife Deepa Edirisinghe auntie on Hiru TV yesterday█████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████

Today, my mother ordered me not to write about our auntie Deepa and Sarah Nazeem because "she is a school teacher" and we "must respect our teachers" hehe.
Later, she claimed that bad guys will come get me at gunpoint. She's thinking about some 'upper class', 'mixed Sinhalese and Tamil' journalist called, I think Richard de Zoysa, who was murdered by ███████████████████████████████

If you remember Scarface (1983), Tony Montana sees a mole get discovered by the Oxford educated drug baron, he is roped and dropped off a helicopter as Tony Montana watches through binoculars.

*deep sigh*
It is a truly depressing country. The history is terrible. I guess, █████████ did it because he had to. He believed he had to keep the country under control. That is what happens when the wrong people are in charge.
A better way, what Lee Kuan Yew did, and his son Lee Hsien Loong does, is you gotta sue the newspaper for defamation. You need a "Media Development Authority". This is what works like a charm. There is no big national level plan, that is the reason this sort of atrocity happens, ruining the reputation of the country.
Once 'bad things' (Tamir Pardo, Mossad Director discussing state assassinations) transpire, it has a double action:
1. The people who do it justify it internally as necessary and the only way to deal with the threat, it becomes the default solution. The followers also have to accept it was necessary.
When disciplining a child, do you hit or use your brain to outsmart? In third world countries, they hit. The kids do not grow up, they learn that violence is the answer, the only way, that there is no other way, and that you should and must do it. Worse, they believe that their parents love them.
2. People accept and anticipate it. This is the knock on effect. I suppose, it is essential. You need this. A country with an out of control media is frustrating. There is no peace of mind. People are anxious. I would still choose that, the price of the opposite is hard to live with.
The alternative, with China, with Russia, you live a caged life where as Tony Montana observed in communist Cuba, they "tell you what shoes to wear, you eat octopus for breakfast, lunch and dinner" and that is why he would carve up a communist really nicely.

When I saw Deepa aunty. She was with her brothers Jeewaka or uncle Jackie, Asanka and Nalaka Edirisinghe, the directors of Edirisinghe Trust Investment wearing masks. One may be missing.
It is a shame, they collected over Rs ███bn from over █████ depositors. It was operated as a █████ Scheme, a █████ fund where the directors enjoyed lavish lifestyles, partying, going on trips overseas, splurging, sending the kids for schooling overseas, buying luxury cars, goods, etc.
ETI bet on "███████████". When ██████████████, they lost their earnings, they collapsed. They had to give up the Swarnamahal Jewellery shop franchise, the Sapphire Hotel, the Savoy cinema theatres and both Swarnawahini and ETV broadcasting. It was tragic.
They reported on Lasantha Wickrematunge and Wasim Thajudeen repeatedly and aggressively with fervour. I saw Prasanga Menikdiwela was friends with a number of the Capital Maharaja directors. I cannot place if it was Chevaan Daniel or Nimal Cooke. ████████████████████████████████████████████████████████ ██████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████

Deepa is the public face because she made a bad decision to enter politics with President Maithripala Sirisena who failed and was ruined globally due to his lapse in judgement as the failed minister of defence responsible for Easter Sunday attacks.
Jeewaka had in the past, collected footage of Thilanga Sumathipala ████████████████████████████████ in a Cricket Stadium through his journalists filming the cricket match for Swarnawahini. He has "assisted" my uncle Thilanga reportedly with CID.
Jackie uncle has also spoken with Thilanga and Lal uncle to try and escape the Edna Chocolates melamine case. He was trying to help Lal escape with a cover up. Thilanga told me he has refused to print the melamine story on ███████████████Lakbima Newspapers ███████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████
I was not sure if this was yearly, or in total, but when I glimpsed the paperwork, I suggested they close up instead of pay ETF and EPF fees to employees to continue operating. Thilanga appointed his friend Sujeewa Godaliyadda and his son Udhantha to run the paper. I saw issues, was not able to convince improvements, left.

ETI Finance victims screamed and wailed, desperately, "Deepa give us our money back". One woman sold her houses and invested her savings into ETI Finance. It was heartbreaking.
