In this historical portrait, King George VI is depicted wearing formal Freemason regalia. The setting is a simple, indoor backdrop that highlights the solemnity and dignity of the occasion. King George VI stands upright, facing the camera, conveying a sense of authority and composure. He is dressed in a dark formal suit with a white dress shirt and a tie, over which he wears an elaborate Masonic apron featuring intricate embroidery and symbols, such as the square and compasses, and various other Masonic emblems. Around his neck, he wears a Masonic collar adorned with additional symbols and medals. The lighting is soft, casting subtle shadows that add depth to the image, while the sepia tone gives it a vintage, timeless quality. Below the portrait, there is a plaque with the text "KING GEORGE VI," identifying him explicitly. The overall ambiance of the photograph is formal and respectful, reflecting the historical significance of the subject.

Criticising Sri Lanka’s Anti-Narcotics Policy and Comparing Singapore

6:15 p.m.

I don't agree with our anti narcotics drug policy because it hasn't worked. Everyone knows████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████they are selling heroin, to about 100,000 helpless addicts. They pay a cut to leaders.

Only Singapore was successful in eliminating drugs because Lee Kuan Yew was a tough guy. Gotabaya isn't the same, they aren't cut from the same cloth, in fact, they wouldn't even sit in the same table, or the same room, or building. Or visit the same tailor.

Uwin’s Booster, Bitcoin and Debating What Gives Money Value

11:00 p.m.

I just got a call from Uwin. He's gotten the 3rd jab, booster shot. He's in the UK, it's Winter.

He's investing in Bitcoin. I argued with my university international finance professor David*, I think, about how I feel Bitcoin is a fiat currency instead of a hard commodity currency. He showed me that it is mined, and so, it is commodity backed, although, I pointed out, that it's a virtual mining operation, not digging for gold in ore, and while the rest of the sheep bleeted, I just decided against it.

I advised, Uwin, not to bet at all. This is because if you don't know if something is going up or down for sure, it is gambling. My family never gamble. Jagath uncle never visits his betting shops, when Jagath visits Sporting Star, the people don't even recognize him because they don't know what he looks like or who he is at all. Even Steve Wynn, he tells people that he doesn't know and hasn't heard of anyone who's won at his casino, because it's not possible.

If you go to a casino, statistics, probability, is that you will lose, the longer you stay, the worse. I think those casino games, they are 1% chance of winning. This obviously means you will lose. It's crazy. Warren Buffet, Ray Dalio, I think even Chamath Palihapitiya who isn't a successful investor in comparison, they do not feel comfortable with Bitcoin, it's very scary because there's no authority on it.

All the criminals, they ask for Bitcoin. When lost credit card support from Mastercard and Visa, they switched to Bitcoin for membership subscription fees. All the ransomware demands are in Bitcoin because they can't trace who the owner is.

Looking at the trends, it used to be from 2015, $300 bucks, it has climbed, so it is a safe investment. So, I told him to go for it if he wants to, as the price has gone up. He advised me that best to bet what you don't mind losing. So, he's on the right track.

I never bet on anything, I never bet on anyone.

I only sign deals when there's a lot of profit for me, and unless the margins are good, I don't bother signing it, Jit Warnakulasuriya tries giving me his penetration testing projects, I threw it in the bin because it's too small for me -- I'm a size king.

A Dark Historical Joke With Robert Jones and Learning About Himmler

(b)

Me and my then masonic mentor Robert Jones, who I think fell out with and ended his relationship with myself after I asked to do a poultry farm, as he was apparently a Buddhist, he went to this Indian restaurant with myself.

I asked him, "so did you see Adolf Hitler when you were growing up?"

"Cheeky b***ard!" he replied angrily.

I honestly, thought, he was that old.

Today, I learned about Saddam.

Now, i am learning about Heinrich Himmler.

Nazi Weapons, Uniforms, Allies and Historical Propaganda

11:45 p.m.

I think gnikcuf stuark had good uniforms by Hugo Boss, they had a good, better machine gun, the MG42 and the stylish StG 44 which meant they pretty much had a AK47 in WW2, and they had good friends like Henry Ford, who, if they had leveraged properly, could've resulted in America refusing to enter WW2, even though, maybe not if the spaj effed it up.

My dad told me that Nazis made the VW, they had good engineers even then. Siemens, IBM, Ford, Benz, these guys, like JFK's dad, HW Bush's dad Prescot, his family, Queen Elizabeth II's family, they were personal supporters of Hitler, they made money murdering Jews; they were Christians who were supporters. The New York Times, Sulzbergers, even these guys like George Soros, they weren't brave.

How British, American, Singaporean and Sri Lankan Speech Differ

3:30 a.m.

(b)

I gotta sleep soon.

Uwin Waidyaratne, he lives in UK, NHS doctor, when we talk, he often uses British vocabulary.

I have lived in Sri Lanka, I lived in Singapore for 2 years, then UK for 3, but I usually watch American movies made in Hollywood, California.

My accent is unique.

When I speak to people in their countries, Brits, Americans, Singaporeans, Chinese, Indians, Australians, Dutch, Portuguese, Israelis, Arabs, Africans, South Americans, where ever,

I adjust my tone, vocal inflections, I try to sound like what they are used to, trying to be familiar, it helps them feel comfortable.

I do it pretty easily now. It's not that sophisticated. I also heavily dumb things down. I often do what Trump does; I repeat things, but use entirely different words, which mean the same thing, to simplify things.

I have a very big vocabulary, extensive, but I always try to use the simplest, smallest, easiest words.

Uwin, when he talks, he says, "Innit?" often.

Singaporeans say, "la" and "end questions, yeah?"

Sri Lankans often end questions with, "no?"

Interesting.

Religion, Secularism and Calling Myself the Farmer

4:45 a.m.

I remember going to this church, in the UK. I would go to Anglican church often. I am an Anglican, a church of England, protestant, Calvinist Christian.

Well, I'm highly, highly secular.

But I'm more Christian than Buddhist, though, I don't know, I am spiritual, I am an atheist. I mostly don't care. I mostly just..

I don't know, I don't care.

I had this nice meal at a church. Great food. Free coffee, great donuts. I got some fantastic chilli. Wendy's Chilli type poured over rice.

We enjoyed it at a place like this.

I went to church with my mum Shanika once. They prayed for her. The guy, he said, that he feels like people bother her, and prayed for her.

I went to King's Revival Church, with Sandesh and Shanika Sharma and a few people, Stefan De Alwis and that guy, Cyril Perera, Saroj's brother in law,

I prefer Christianity to Buddhism. I don't take most religions seriously. I think that I am more Presbyterian, even Episcopalian, than Anglican.

I prefer atheism to Christianity.

I prefer being a secular humanist, to an atheist--which makes me a practical Buddhist, I learn about, understand and respect all religions.

I believe, despite my lycanthropy that makes me feel I am a wolf now, often masquerading as a sheepdog, when I am not in my sheep wool costume, truly, I say to you, I am the farmer.
