1. Explanation.

I wasn't able to write for a month due to a ban.

I had written about disliking █████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████

I deleted certain views quickly.

I even unsuccessfully appealed to Facebook's Oversight Board, which was shocking.

But then again, many of the 330m Americans do not seem to agree on many scientific facts or even wish to take vaccines, and so, I understand the rationale.

I, however, refuse to do any act without writing it down as a policy now, so, I can't act against██████████████████████

We may have to pursue regulations on big tech locally.

I am working on videos. I am also reading a lot of books by George Shultz and learning from Master Class lectures.

So, I am a bit too busy to write.

There were videos made, transcribed and uploaded to YouTube, but then, I thought, they could be improved on.

2. Covid Update.

Dharmasiri Seeya (grandpa) who was my grandma Milina's brother has passed away.

He's refused to take the Covid-19 vaccine, then, he's caught C19 and died -- he's 1 of 6,700 official fatalities, out of the over 300,000 formally diagnosed cases.

Cousin Koshitha ██████████████████████████████████deathbed regarding a business dispute.

Cousin Chathula has been self isolating or self quarantining as well. He's not caught C19, though, unclear. I dunno if he got the vaccine.

I got the AstraZeneca (Oxford) vaccine 1st jab with help from uncle Thilanga.

I attended cousin Wagisha's husband Iruka's grandma's funeral -- we were talking about C19.

Cousins Chadu and Chathula, whose father, my uncle Jagath is leading the All Ceylon Buddhist Congress ("ACBC"), revealed that a number of elderly Buddhist monks died when they were given the C19 jab.

They expressed reluctance to take the vaccine. These fears appear to have been echoed by Dharmasiri.

Dharmasiri was friendly towards myself. He's shown me his big fish pets when I was a very young boy.

He's cried, wailing, on the floor, in the Asiri Central Hospital when my grandma died -- sincere man.

He's been in charge of some aspect of the betting or sports bookmaking business.

Apparently, day time racing business section. Cousins Chadu and Chathula were explaining it, I didn't get it.

They appear to be friendly with Dharmasiri.

Whereas, the Thilanga faction, is very angry, they appear to have separated from Jagath.

Though, I doubt it, it seems dishonestly staged. This is because there's a lot of ongoing relations, there's no real rivalry and coordination is too close.

Some individuals like █████████████████████ appear friendly with both sides, though they passive aggressively deride cousins Chadu and Chathula as "incompetent", and also appear friendly with "apparent rivals" like Upali Dharmadasa.

3. Country: Sri Lanka

Gotabaya is losing popularity. He has released Duminda Silva, who was found guilty of murder of Bharatha Lakshman Premachandra.

Duminda is reported to be ███████████████████████████████████████████Sohli Captain who owns John Keells Holdings, ██████████████dad Lal Silva as ███████████for his CIC.

In the past, the Zoroastrian Parsis, who were agents for the British during colonial times, were charged with ██████████████████████████████████████████████████████

The British███████████to China via Hong Kong as well.

Most likely, Gotabaya wants to know, he ███████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████Raynor's Hiru (Asia Broadcasting Corporation) for propaganda.

There seems to be a lack of development or progress, or accountability -- due to Covid.

It is relatively peaceful.

There's an increased risk of█████████ in Sri Lanka.

4. Afghanistan

I am not aware of or sure about this situation. I am sorry to see Taliban takeover the place.

I think we should█████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████

We should also be more flexible in terms of ████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████

I was disappointed that the many Afghans who ██████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████

It's good to retreat and withdraw US troops from the region. I am happy Hashani Hettiarachchi won't be ordered to go into a dangerous warzone.
