Calling Port City a $15 Billion Sham

February 19, 2023

The center of the day is a long case against Port City as an unworkable taxpayer-funded sham built by the same people who wrecked the economy, with side notes about Singaporean coins, airline partnerships, and Jimmy Carter's anti-corruption legacy.

Arguing That Colombo Port City Is a $15 Billion Disaster

Sunday, February 19th.

11:00 a.m.

I think $15 billion plus expensive running costs CHEC Port City Colombo is a very bad idea which won't work. ███████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████

1. █████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████ ██████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████

2. █████████████████████████ ███████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████ Why didn't Ajith Nivard Cabraal ask people to buy his book? Then fail to pay. ███████████████████████████████████

4. "Who is Lasantha? He was a tabloid. ██████████████████████████ Why ask about him only? ███████████████████████████████████████████████ Bharatha who? Duminda Silva can't remember. ██████████████████████████████████████ He was a friend of Namal and Yoshitha. But Yasara never knew him to forget him. Tragic accident. Drink driving. Speeding."

5. "We will ban all chemical fertilizers. This is going to help us. Viyath Maga signed off on this."

It's a waste of $15b dollars.

This is totally taxpayer funded.

████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████ They still never succeed internationally, as they're simply not competitive globally.

They claim it will be constructed many years from now. But after it's done, for 40 years, they won't earn any taxes. Worse, then, it won't pay back. China wouldn't have ever done this themselves, it's not feasible.

If you can't charge corporation taxes, income taxes, property taxes, whatever, then only sales tax or VAT is charged. This isn't going to cover $15b. Worse. You pay for water, sewage, rubbish, electricity, which is a cost to us.

This is why our people are now struggling to survive.

Jimmy Carter’s Playboy Interview and an Autograph Request

10:30 p.m.

***

I really liked Jimmy Carter, he wasn't as charismatic as Bohemian Grove Reagan

But I liked how he did the Magazine interview

Growing up, I scribbled that quote in my cupboard

I was like 10

But I never memorized it

Because see, I didn't just commit adultery in my heart, no, I went the JFK route

And I tell everyone

Because I think, and I believe I'm G-d

And I can do anything I want

And not like how Jared Kushner describes Ivanka's ability

No

Peanut farmer boy from was it

Umm

Which state?

Georgia, wasn't it?

Humble fela

Hehe

He wrote the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act law into effect

He should autograph my Magazine of him. Please do that.

Get it done Hirshon.
