Bank Visits, Camera Gripes, and the Script as the Real Escape

March 28, 2022 Lehan Edirisinghe

Music and half-hidden detours give way to the real public work: a visit to HNB, warnings about hardware risk, irritation at delays and weak local execution, and the growing conviction that the script is still the cleanest way forward.

Bradman Weerakoon, Presidential History and “Rendering Unto Caesar”

It's really funny. The President's Office, the Presidential Secretariat, Bradman or Brad Weerakoon, he is a very elderly gentleman. He was originally prime minister's secretary, from a long time ago, from when we were just a Westminster parliamentary democracy, headed by the prime minister. I think Don Stephen Senanayake, then, Dudley and John. Sirimavo in 1960, established a sovereign republic, she virtually fired Brad for leaking inside info to Dudley.

From 1949 to 1966, our SL rupee LKR was strong, it was around Rs 4.77 to $1.00 USD.

Sirimavo was corrupt. A lot of the leaders, in fact, all of them, they were liars, thieves, and incompetent, right throughout, one after another. Sirimavo crashed the economy, destroyed the country, she was not fit to lead the country, the people elected her out of sympathy because her husband Solomon was shot.

Later, when JR came in, in 1977, he made it, so that we had Washington style presidential head of state democracy. Brad served JR again, but JR has chosen Jeewaka's wife Prasanga's dad Menikdiwela to be his President's Secretary. So, he had the virtual, fiduciary fiat or proxy authority of the President of Sri Lanka.

███ also, everyone, they couldn't develop Sri Lanka because they hid all the information, █████ all the money--only JR's family: █████ (refusing to fight corruption; dishonesty), ███████ (cowardice; ██████ █████ in Switzerland, clearing ██████ █████ as ports minister, etc) and █████ (refusing to acknowledge national pains; corrupt influence for financial gain) were successful--his own son ████ and grandson ██████ are less corrupt, but did nothing but piggyback off JR's imperfect reputation -- they all abused, disrespected and refused to enable the competent, qualified and willing people in SL who could have done more, but instead, lost their lives (Lasantha Wickremetunge, 1000s of Tamils), were terrorized (Frederica Jansz), thrown out (Sarath Fonseka, Shirani Bandaranayake), escaped (Chamath Palihapitiya), etc.

I just want to show off, that, both Brad and Prasanga, are able to help run my President's Office, voluntarily, because everyone's sick and tired of █████████, who are nearing biological retirement...

I remembered Brad.

Brad wrote a book/ a memoir called, "Rendering Unto Caesar" (Matthew 22:21).

Giving Up on Letters and Using a Script to Solve Repeated Problems

10:15 p.m.

I don't think I really wrote any letters to anybody. I visited HNB, warned the CIO of layer 1 hardware layer risks, but that's about it. Nothing much. I gave up. I think we're are working on the script and taking it from there. It's easier that way. It's all by the way. I think things will work out.

I like this movie.

I also wrote something to Shavendra, but it is better if our people talk to him. There's a lot of international media people, they can be intro'ed to Dilith. That guy should try to write a book, some kind of positive history book of our country's political past. It would be very healthy. I hope Kamal writes or translates his book. I want to help out too. i will have to write my script.

When there is any kind of delay or setback against me, it causes a big mess, and then, it all delays for a very long time, as I'm thinking: "oh these █████████████████████ can't get it, they are wasting time, i can't bother going through this again, i'm writing a script, so, it's like a software program, that repeats or solves the same problem automatically, so i can do more work, and not waste time. If that██████ Channa did his job, as chairman, without passing a buck to Ajith, who is just a ████ CIO, then it would have happened a lot faster. I am happy to waste time, as they should have supported me back then to get the deal done. They have given technology deals meant to empower our country to █████████████████ who just said they'd like money and not to make tech locally. ██████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████

Robert Johnson, Tommy Johnson and the Writing of “O Brother”

Tuesday 29th, March.

12:00 a.m.

This is very clever writing!!

Robert Johnson -- Me and my devil's blues:

https://youtu.be/7a9MeUy2Teo

Original question: Is Robert Johnson portrayed in the movie, "O Brother, Where Art Thou"? No, the character portrayed in the movie is Tommy Johnson. Tommy Johnson recorded at the end of the 1920's, before Robert Johnson did.

Who does Tommy Johnson represent?

3. Tommy Johnson represents Athena who secretly helps Odysseus on his journey. If you notice, every time they encounter him in the movie, thing always end up going their way.Oct 1, 2014

I'm impressed by the Coen brothers..
