Desert Wanderer
The President of the United States, Donald J. TRUMP, has got angry with Iran and just sent out a post saying, “Open the Fucking Strait, you crazy bustards or you’ll be living in Hell – Just Watch. Praise be to Allah”
I wonder how that little piece of “Expletive Diplomacy” will go down in Tehran.Filed under Uncategorized

A Lankan Reefcomber …. with highlighting imposed by The Editor, Thuppahi
Dr Darini Rajasingham-Senanayake’s theory of deep undercurrents linking events in Sri Lanka in 2019 and the present Middle-Eastern battles is an interesting read. [VISIT ………………………… https://thuppahis.com/2026/04/05/usas-deep-demonic-reach-embraces-sri-lanka/#more-98002 ]
The author argues that the Easter Sunday attacks of 2019 and the sinking of the Iranian vessel IRIS Dena in 2026 are not isolated tragedies, but calculated strikes within a U.S.-led “geopolitical economic” warfare strategy. By linking these events, the author suggests a continuous campaign of hybrid warfare orchestrated by U.S. and Israeli intelligence to secure dominance over the Indian Ocean. This strategy allegedly aims to curb Chinese and Iranian influence, sabotage the Sri Lankan economy, and force the nation into a neocolonial debt trap managed by the IMF.

Andrew Hammer, whose article is entitled “Understanding Human Destructiveness Through Social Psychology and Cultural Analysis”
War and genocide are among the most catastrophic events in human history, marked by the deliberate infliction of pain, suffering, and death on large populations. The psychology that drives such collective violence has been a subject of intense study, debate, and reflection.
One of the most influential voices in this field is Richard Koenigsberg, a social psychologist and cultural theorist whose work delves into the symbolic meanings, psychological mechanisms, and societal structures that underlie war and genocide.

Dr. Darini Rajasingham-Senanayake, whose chosen title runs thus “Easter Sunday 20019 to IRIS Dena 2026: The Weaponization of Religion in the Indian Ocean World” … …. with highlights imposed by The Editor, Thuppahi
The United States torpedo of the Iranian ship, IRIS Dena, in the Seas of Sri Lanka last month reveal Geopolitical economic continuities with a crime committed seven years ago: The 2019 ISIS-claimed Easter Sunday terror attacks were a complex logistical operation in 6 different sea-front locations on the east and west coasts of geostrategic. Then as now, the Mastermind of the crime remained hidden in plain sight.
The Easter attacks of 2019 killed four Chinese marine research scientists who were staying at the Kingsbury hotel, which overlooks the Colombo harbor- South Asia’s busiest port. This resulted in the Chinese Research Vessel- Shi Yan-3 that was docked in the Colombo Harbour abandoning its mission and returning immediately to China. The Chinese research team was collaborating with the National Aquatic Research Agency (NARA), on a project in the Eastern Seas off Lanka.

A VALE in Her Memory from Another Sister, Estelle Fernando nee Roberts, n.d. **
Our sister Margie is at rest from her labours. She was our big sister. Though small in Stature, she was big in every other sense of the word. When I was a little girl, I admired her because she was so jolly, so practical, so matter of fact. She never failed to call a spade a spade, but all the time she was so good at heart.
