To everything there is a season…A time to be born and a time to die…A time to weep and a time to laugh: a time to mourn and a time to dance…I know that whatsoever God doeth it shall be forever: nothing can be put to it, nor anything taken from it.– The Book of Ecclesiastes.

A NOTE from Asoka Kuruppu in Queensland, June 2025
Please watch without fail and share to all your colleagues. Jeffrey David Sachs, American economist and public policy analyst who is a professor at Columbia University, is enlightening everyone about the root causes which have created wars and continuing wars throughout the world which is a curse upon humanity.
Not only Prof. Sachs, Bernie Sanders and Richard Wolff too are Jewish, yet they are exposing the plots of US and Israel.
The whole world should watch this.

In the sun-drenched southern skies of old Ceylon, beneath the coconut palms and temple bells, a young man named Mahen stood at the edge of a decision that would alter his life forever. It was 1969, and at just twenty-one, Mahen was about to walk away from his studies at the University of Colombo, a path laid carefully by his parents, relatives, and the expectations of society. He didn’t do it out of rebellion, nor failure. Rather, he felt the tug of purpose in another direction: the world of corporate business and finance.
His uncle, a senior officer at the Bank of Ceylon, had mentioned an opening at a branch in Borella. “There’s more to learn behind a counter than behind a blackboard,” his uncle had said with a knowing smile. Mahen, who had always been neat, quick with numbers, and calm under pressure, found himself drawn to the order and promise of the banking world.
