Constipated Opposition Politics in Ceylon

Constipated Opposition Politics in Ceylon

I should write something political today.

Having had an extended sleep, I woke up fresh with new ideas, for the opposition parties (U.N.F), so that they can to pull up socks and have a coherent opposition strategy to save democratic norms.

We are heading the path of Myanmar and Un Suu Kyi’s defense of army is not an acceptable norm in politics.

One should not mix religion with politics which is happening daily in this land of many religions.

Politics should be divorced from all forms of religions,

Especially because monks / (priests in other religions) are forgetting Buddha’s teaching (other teachings) and acting in divisive politics including having four or five sectors of Sasana based on caste system (there is no caste system in Buddha’s teaching, it is borrowed from our Tamil Kings of yo).

I have no qualm for monks taking a political stand but once they take that stance they should drop the saffron garb.

It should be a knee jerk reaction of wisdom. 

They should not do both and lead to conflict of interest in legal terms.

Opposition

Regard to the opposition they should form an organization like Unite Nations Organization and unify minorities.

If we do not protect the minority rights to have a political voice, we are going back to the past of trauma and human right violations.

Taking Buddhist monks into the fore of this organization (U.N.O) is a political liability.

It should be named as United National Organization.

United National Party should be a party within that Organization.

The name front (U.N.Front) is inappropriate since we do not see the back end (in other words, the motives or vision) of that front.

Coming to power is not the only motive.

Organized opposition is mandatory and J.V.P is practically dead if they do not join this Organization upfront.

In opposition parties disintegrate, not if they are organized.

We must prevent a monk becoming a President one day.

That is their political motive and NOT to spread the word of Dhamma and Wisdom.

Constipated Post of Presidency and Constitutional Conundrum

I was following the “Attempt to Impeach President Trump” who was elected electorally (not by the number of popular vote casted- but by the bizarre system of electoral colleagues of USA).

Having listened to the democrats, I was emotionally constipated and switched off CNN telecast.

To begin with President Trump was an astute businessman, fabulously rich (he does not need any remuneration from US Government for his survival except the status of pomposity extended to any individual with empirical narcissist ideology) with powerful twitter control of his emotions.

I do not mean he is narcissist but upfront capitalist with some good ideas (NATO sharing responsibility-swipe at France and German leaderships and withdrawing troops from Afghanistan) and some bad ideas (meddling with Iran and Middle East and one state solution for Palestine).

One of his twitters can stymie a month of deliberation in the house controlled by majority democrats.

It is pretty obvious it is not a constitutional issue but a constitutional (political) conspiracy to oust an opponent, bringing a constitutional conundrum albeit veracity.

It is a foregone conclusion that attempt to impeach will be rejected with full force of the Senate.

Spending so much money and time with Christmas bells chiming is an absolute waste of human resources.

It is time that American public realizes this precocious and precarious entanglement and take control of the public funds and divert them for better outcome like education and health care.

We also have a similar post here and ever since it was instituted and fully established we became poorer and poorer and our national debt extend up to 100 (steps of 40, 60, 100) years, now.

Every sworn in President promised to abolish it but did sweet nothing for over 38 years!

I have a saying that if we “Abolish The Post of Presidency” (real white elephant) for 10 years, we can improve the transport system including introducing a few domestic air lines, for people in the North, instead of giving India our air space to drop Mysore dhal (Parippu) in a crisis.
