Ceylon Politics and Alternative Media Channels

I have a "Self Imposed" conviction that I should not talk two topics.

1. Ceylon Cricket and current players.

I may not talk about cricket even after the tournament.

It is pity that the birth place of cricket England cannot score 200 in an Internal Game.

Cricket is British Birthright.

English people let it slip to Indian Grip.

I hope to reverse this trend cricket should be made an Olympic Game.

Then only it can gain its Global rightful place.

2. Current Politics and current politicians

I will not talk about any politician or give any publicity to the campaigns.

I will remain as a keen observer.

However as an average citizen, I would talk about their common problems.

That is the duty of a doctor even well into retirement.

I am in the Bolshevik Group.

The Russian who wrote about average man was a doctor and he worked with patients with tuberculosis and he died of tuberculosis.

There was no treatment for tuberculosis, then.

That was his dedication.

There are number of alternative channels in Ceylon.
Most of them are Gossip Columns and not real Talk Shows.
Their only ploy is to get some patreon contributions.
Money spindling.

Many will pop up like mushrooms when election is declared.

Citizen Problems are many.

1. Hunger

2. Day to Day income is not sufficient to meet ends.

3. Perennial debt to the corner shop.

4. Shortages and C.W.E. has no plan.

5. Cooperatives are surrendering to a political party.

I am one who has worked to uplift cooperative system and advocate Cooperative Banking System.

Unlike a capitalistic banks, with COOP Banks the profits are shared with the stake holders.

There are robust Laws and Bylaws in COOP System.

COOP can run Banks, Hospitals and Whole Sale Establishments.

Training Good Managers is the bottom line.

If this is given to a political party the Real Objective of the Establishment is nullified.

6. Inequality of Educational opportunities.

7. Tuition Masters and farmer

8. Problem with access to water for drinking.

9. Problem with access to water for farming

10. Draught

11. Floods

12. Sanitation and toilet facilities.

13. Disposal of waste

14. Mosquito problem

15. Scavenger dogs and rabies

16.  Drugs and ICE.

17.  House flies

18. Pandemics especially water borne.

19. Gambling

20. Alcoholism

21. Smoking and Ganja

22. Domestic violence

23. Suicide

24. Religious animosity

25. Ethnic animosity

26. Political violence

27. University System

Has fallen below global standards.

28. Computer Literacy and Linux Solutions
No domestic plan and subjected to global monopolies.
Good example is spending money on an expensive Apple Mac. The money spent on Apple Mac can be better used with several non proprietary devices.
Tablets and NUC utilities have come down in prices. 

29. Law an Order

30. Draconian Laws to be passed.

31. Dictatorship

32. Demise of  Democracy

33. MAD or Utter Political Madness

34. Ailing Transport system

35. Problem of bulk transport

36. Neglect of Railway System

37. Selling of Telecom Infrastructure

38. Selling of Satellite Infrastructure

39. Selling of Utility Infrastructure

40. Selling of Port Infrastructure

41. Last we will sell our self esteem


None of these problems can be solved by having an election.

It is a powder keg about to blow up!

Anarchy would be the outcome.

Guys in the parliament have no clue on any of these items except Alcohol and Drugs.

I have the experience and knowhow in few of these topics but have no inclination to get engaged in any in my twilight years.

By the way, Russia had most of the above problems including  famine, poverty and pandemics during First World War.

But by Second World War Russia had overcome many of those problems. They pushed Germans out of Russia and the Eastern Europe.

American cities and suburbs are dirty and poor people live on streets and they are scavenging food from dustbins.

Russian cities and suburbs are clean.

Nobody scavenges on dustbins.
There is system that protects the vulnerable.

At the same time raise a huge army to protects the motherland.

That is the paradox of capitalism.

Rich have all including private jets and the poor eats from dustbins.

By 2020 Russia could stand up to American Hegemony and it has defeated the proxy war in Ukraine.

Now America is embroiled in Israel war.
Israel is their creation to dominate Middle East oil revenues.

America thrives only on War.

That is the total MADNESS!

While all these happening BRICS is emerging as an alternative monetary system.

The creation of Israel war is to scuttle Muslim assertion.

Hamas, Taliban and I.S.I.S are American creations. They are now going against their creators.

Idea was to divide the Palestinians into two groups.

It looks like they are joining hands.
