Eventually, of course, they were kicked out (the last westerners to be kicked out, actually), and they went back off the map for me . . . but recently, I have been making all kinds of connections with people from there, and a friend a few days ago handed me a sheet of paper he sheepishly thought I might be interested in. <br /><br />It was a letter from a dead man, one of those "in the event of my death" posthumous deals, and, well - it's self-explanatory. Here it is:<br />www.thesundayleader.lk/20090111/editorial-.htm<br /><br />Guess which countries have made sure that even the aid agencies aren't allowed in Sri Lanka? Guess which countries have been providing all the nasties in SriLanka with arms directly and via proxy?<br /><br />www.tamilcanadian.com/page.php?cat=40&id=150<br /><br />It's just another sad story of the wonderful gift of western imperialism, and the twisted, blackened corpses it leaves behind in the wake.slozonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5842308776616107900.post-19176929003953727682009-04-20T10:42:00.000+10:002009-04-20T10:42:00.000+10:00Hello Doug,
What a curious question. The short an...Hello Doug,<br /><br />What a curious question. The short answer is I didn't learn it anywhere. There is no website I can point you at that says that it is so. And if there was, would that mean anything? And then there's the flipside of this whereby I could point you at any number of websites that will explain in detail how the US Fed is fact everything it pretends to be.<br /><br />What I do not do here, in fact it's the point of the exercise, is use a long lens to zero in on a thing. My lens is as wide as possible. I look for what is utterly absent in the media to decide whom the media serves. I'm always attempting to stitch a big picture together. Whether I achieve what I'm after remains to be seen.<br /><br />In your second para, you show that your head is in a similar place. Mind you, with your two posited options, I don't see why it can't be both. I have the bankers pegged as godfather and the corporations as the capos. The godfather decides what course of action serves him, the capos go do it and are free to make money on the side. They have to be kept happy after all. They could depose the godfather if they wanted to.<br /><br />Otherwise on the subject of North Korea I had a spray on the fascinating subject of the so-called <A HREF="http://churchofnobody.blogspot.com/2008/05/supernote-stumper-who-could-it-be.html" REL="nofollow">'super-notes'. </A> I just now re-read it. It's not bad. Admittedly I make the same point there that I make here but by way of a different angle.<br /><br />Anyway, let's put it this way. we're given reasons why things are done. Invariably they're just assertions. And invariably if you attack the proposition they make no sense. Me, I attack the proposition and assert a different reason that I reckon makes far more sense. If you wanted to say it was unscientific, I'd have to agree with you.<br /><br />But what's a fellow to do?nobodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13067422372087431256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5842308776616107900.post-43000413910264640212009-04-20T04:43:00.000+10:002009-04-20T04:43:00.000+10:00Where did you learn that North Korea doesn't have ...Where did you learn that North Korea doesn't have a privately owned money supply ?

But then again a Jew would gut his own mother with a penknife if the coin was there.<br /><br />As for Korea some places are bad no matter who tells you it is so. There was a time that I was told that Vietnam was bad as well. At the time I believed that to be so and all I did was to help it be worse, Korea is however an experiment that I feel has gone wrong, terribly wrong by whatever gage one chooses to use.

The life depending on whom would cost anywhere from 40 to 100 Baht and when one conciders that the exchange rate was 44 Baht to one Canadian dollar life was very cheap indeed.<br /><br />And as for Fiji all I can say is that the most peaceful time of my life was spent there. Ok it was just for a couple of weeks at a time scuba diving but still it was simply heaven on earth. Why do people have to fuck everything up? I don't get it,I really don't get it. No matter how good it gets they just have to mess it up.<br /> I'm afraid that they might well mess up my nest as well, given the chance.

Significantly, from my point of view, the article shows that my thumbnail sketch of Fiji to be overly simplistic. The Fijians have a raft of constitutional rights that seem to put those of the Maori and the Hawaiians in the shade. On top of this a great deal of earlier Fijian skulduggery was thanks to native Fijians rabblerousing against the Indians who suffer from a discriminatory electoral college. Mind you, a lot of the impetus for that earlier monkey business came from 'mysterious outsiders', I recall.<br /><br />Regardless, I'm prepared to bet that there's more than a few truths in my thumbnail.
