Prime Minister, be aware of your purse!

Tuesday, 21 April 2015

During the New Year function held at the Prime Ministers house yesterday the 20th the person who is standing beside the Prime Minister Ranil Wicramasinghe is one Madawa Waththegedara an infamous character of the country.

When we inquired how this person came to this function it was revealed that he came with Minister Nandimitra Ekanayake. Since the Prime Minister and the government politicians should know the background of this person we would like to give a brief introduction of Madawa Waththegedara.

This Madawa Waththegedara is residing at Colombo 7 opposite to the Russian embassy in Sri Lanka. This house too has been owned by him by creating a forged deed. He has been issued an open warrant by the courts for creating another forged deed to a house located at Ward Place Colombo 7 which is owned by the Catholic Church. In order to evade prosecution he fled to India and returned to Sri Lanka with the help of Mervin Silva who obtained doctorate for nefarious activities. With his assistance Madawa bribed to the infamous retired DIG Anura Senanayake and returned to the country once again.

This Madawa Waththegedara is the son of the domestic aide Menika of the Bandaranayake family. In order to gratify her work Chandrika Kumarathunga gave a house to her in the Elvitigala housing complex. This Madawa mortgaged this house to Wimal Mortgages situated closer the house. Finally he dispossessed the hard earned gift given to his mother for her entire life by the Bandaranayake’s. Anybody who wishes to acquire information’s about this Madawa can get it from Fraud Bureau and the CID. This Madawa is a strong believer of charming, rituals and offering sacrifices. This is a common characteristic of corrupt people who plunder other people’s assets and properties. Below is the photograph of the latter who has shaved his head to fulfill a ritual obligation to a temple in India with Minister Nandimithra Ekanayake.

Therefore we would like to ask the Prime Minister “Did you lose your wallet during the New Year Function?”

Greece 'running out of money' as hopes of imminent deal to end debt crisis fade

Jeroen Dijsselbloem, the Dutch finance minister and leader of the Eurogroup says he still expects an agreement to be reached in the coming weeks

Larry Elliott and Helena Smith-Tuesday 21 April 2015

The head of the Eurogroup of finance ministers has said Greece is running out of money as hopes of a deal to end the country’s worsening debt crisis by the end of this week have again been dashed.

Sources in Brussels said there was no prospect of concluding negotiations between the Syriza-led coalition in Athens and its creditors by the time the 18 finance ministers meet in Riga at the end of this week.

On a fresh day of turmoil, Greek shares and bonds came under heavy selling pressure and local authorities reacted furiously to the sequestering of their spare funds by the central bank in order to pay the day-to-day bills of the central government.

Jeroen Dijsselbloem, the Dutch finance minister and leader of the Eurogroup, said he still expected a deal to be struck in the coming weeks and that it was in the interests of the eurozone for Greece to remain in the currency bloc.

Brussels wants Greece to agree to stick broadly to deeply unpopular economic policies in return for receiving fresh financial support worth more than €7bn, which would allow it to avoid defaulting on debt repayments. Talks with Athens, however, have proved difficult.

If Greece leaves the eurozone “you get very dangerous instability,” Dijsselbloem told the broadcaster RTL. “It’s in the interests of Greece and the eurozone as a whole to avoid that.”

“The money is starting to run out,” he added.

Financial markets were rattled by reports that the European Central Bank was losing patience with Athens and preparing to limit the help it has been providing to keep Greek banks afloat. Interest rates on five-year Greek bonds, seen as a benchmark of investor confidence, rose to record highs and are at levels that signal expectations of a debt default or writedown. The Greek stock market closed more than 3% down, at its lowest level since 2012. 

Eirini Tsekeridou, a fixed income analyst at Julius Baer, said: “We still believe that in the end, the Greek government will agree to the terms of the creditors regarding taxes, pensions, privatisations etc in order for the next tranche of €7.2bn to be released.

“Although we regard a Greek exit from the eurozone as unlikely and with limited contagion risk towards the rest of the eurozone, we avoid holding Greek debt at this juncture due to the high political instability.”

Mayors attending an emergency meeting of the Central Union of Greek Municipalities (KEDE) hurled abuse at the deputy finance minister, Dimitris Mardas, when he announced that the “internal loan” to the central bank would be enforced for at least two months.

“Is this your democracy?” protesters shouted. Media outlets quoted several of the mayors as telling Mardas: “The money is ours and we will do what we want with it.”

Municipalities are demanding that the order be immediately revoked, but the Bank of Greece has been told to use the reserves to help cover Greece’s looming debt repayments and wage and pension bills.

KEDE, which is expected to meet in emergency session for several hours yet, said it would hit back with a series of protests and demonstrations and take the case to Greece’s supreme court.

The chairman of the White House council of economic advisers has warned that the world economy would be badly hit if Greece were to crash out of the single currency.

In an interview with Reuters in Berlin, Jason Furman swept aside the notion that a so-called Grexit could be contained easily. “A Greek exit would not just be bad for the Greek economy, it would be taking a very large and unnecessary risk with the global economy just when a lot of things are starting to go right,” he said.

The inability — or unwillingness — of both the Ramallah-based Palestinian Authorityand the Hamas-led administration in Gaza to provide a relatively acceptable example of good governance based on giving ordinary people a say in decisions that affect them means that serious soul-searching is required among those holding leadership positions in Palestine.

JOHANNESBURG — The South African army has been deployed to areas that remain volatile after a spate of attacks targeting immigrants, the defense minister announced on Tuesday.

Soldiers have already been sent to support police in troubled areas, Defense Minister Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula said in a live broadcast.

The minister made the announcement in Alexandra, a Johannesburg township where a Zimbabwean couple survived a shooting overnight. The man and woman were both shot in their necks and the woman suffered an additional shot in her leg, the minister said. Both Zimbabweans were treated and discharged from hospital.

In the same Alexandra area, a Mozambican man was stabbed to death by four South African men over the weekend. Photographs of the stabbing were published in a local newspaper on Sunday. The four South African men appeared in court on Tuesday and remain in police custody, said Velekhaya Mgobhozi, the National Prosecuting Authority spokesman.

Troops were also sent to Durban, the coastal city where the attacks on foreigners began, Mapisa-Nqakula said. The violence has been concentrated in areas of Johannesburg and Durban where poor immigrants and South Africans live.

The recent spate of attacks has mainly affected immigrants from African states like Malawi, Mozambique and Zimbabwe, according to a statement from the aid group, Doctors Without Borders.

The South African attacks on foreigners have angered many in other African countries.

In Malawi, nearly 2,000 protesters marched to the South African High Commission, demonstrating against the wave of violence, said Billy Mayaya, a human rights activist. A diplomat at the South African mission said earlier that there were several hundred marchers.

“South Africa, why kill your fellow blacks?” read one poster carried by the singing demonstrators in the capital Lilongwe.

The march organizers called on the South African government to do more to protect immigrants and handed a petition to South African High Commissioner Cassandra Mbuyane-Mokone.

Nearly 400 Malawians returned home on Monday, traveling overnight by bus from South Africa, Malawi’s Information Minister Kondwani Nankhumwa said.

Former Egyptian president Mursi jailed for 20 years

Former Egyptian President Mohamed Mursi sits behind bars with other Muslim Brotherhood members at a court in the outskirts of Cairo, December 29, 2014.

(Reuters) - Muslim Brotherhood leader Mohamed Mursi was sentenced to 20 years in prison without parole on Tuesday on charges arising from the killing of protesters, nearly three years after he became Egypt’s first freely elected president.

Mursi stood in a cage in court as judge Ahmed Sabry Youssef read out the ruling against him and 12 other Brotherhood members, including senior figures Mohamed el-Beltagy and Essam el-Erian. The sentencing was broadcast live on state television.

The men were convicted on charges of violence, kidnapping and torture stemming from the killing of protesters during demonstrations in 2012. They were acquitted of murder charges, which carry the death sentence.

A lawyer for some of the defendants said they would appeal.

Amnesty International described the ruling as “a travesty of justice” that “shatters any remaining illusion of independence and impartiality in Egypt’s criminal justice system”.

The rights group called for Mursi to be retried in a civilian court “in line with international standards” or released.

Leading Egyptian cleric Sheikh Youssef al-Qaradawi, who lives in pro-Brotherhood Qatar, criticised the ruling.

“The judiciary in Egypt is no longer one of the three (branches of) power. Instead, all the powers and the country itself are now run by the military,” he said in a statement.

Egypt’s U.S.-backed government says the judiciary is independent and it never intervenes in its work.

Displaying a four-finger salute symbolising resistance to the state’s crackdown on Islamists, defendants in a makeshift courtroom on the outskirts of Cairo chanted “God is Greatest” after the verdict was read.

The ruling is the first against Mursi, who says he is determined to reverse what he calls a military coup against him in 2013 staged by then army chief, now president, Abdel Fattah al-Sisi.

Amr Darrag, a Mursi-era minister, said the Brotherhood would remain a powerful force, with younger members taking up leadership roles made vacant by the state’s crackdown.

“The overall attitude of the Brotherhood (is) more revolutionary because the generation taking it over is young and more revolutionary and they saw what kind of an Egypt we’d have if they don’t do what they have to do,” he told Reuters in an interview in Istanbul.

Mursi’s son, Osama, said his father plans a comeback despite the jail sentence.

State news agency MENA quoted a security source saying Mursi was taken by helicopter back to Borg al-Arab prison near Alexandria, where he has been held for more than a year.

Mursi faces charges in four other cases including leaking secrets to Qatar, conspiring with the Palestinian militant group Hamas to destabilise Egypt, and organising a jailbreak during the 2011 uprising against Hosni Mubarak.

After toppling Mursi following mass protests against his rule, Sisi proceeded to crush the Brotherhood, which he says is part of a terrorist network that poses an existential threat to the Arab and Western worlds.

The Brotherhood says it is a peaceful movement that will return to office through people power, even though demonstrations have fallen to a trickle.

The verdict did not appear to trigger significant protests, another sign of the Brotherhood’s waning influence.

DEEP STATE

Egypt’s deep state apparatus – the Interior Ministry, intelligence services and army – now appears to have a tighter grip than ever on the most populous Arab nation.

While Mursi has become far less relevant, even within the Brotherhood, Sisi was elected president last year, winning over many Egyptians who overlooked widespread allegations of human rights abuses for the sake of stability.

Egypt’s allies Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, which also see the Brotherhood as a threat, have been pouring billions of dollars into the Egyptian economy to support Sisi since Mursi’s fall.

Hundreds of Brotherhood supporters have been sentenced to death since Mursi’s removal and thousands more detained.

By contrast, a court in November dropped its case against Mubarak over the killing of protesters in the 2011 uprising that ended his 30-year rule and symbolised hopes for a new era of political openness and accountability.

Mubarak’s sons have been released from jail pending retrial in a corruption case involving his former palaces.

Businessmen who thrived under Mubarak’s era of crony capitalism have regained influence.

Western powers that called for democracy declined to use leverage against Sisi, the latest military man to seize power.

Mursi, who rose through the ranks of the Brotherhood before winning the presidency in 2012, was a polarising figure during his troubled year in office, which followed Mubarak’s fall.

Mursi’s policies alienated secular and liberal Egyptians, who feared that the Brotherhood – the main opposition to Mubarak for decades and popular among many Egyptians for its charity work – was abusing power.    Protests erupted in late 2012 after Mursi issued a decree expanding presidential powers – a move his supporters say was necessary to prevent a judiciary still packed with Mubarak appointees from derailing a fragile political transition.    Those demonstrations led to the deaths of protesters, for which prosecutors argued that Mursi and other Brotherhood leaders were responsible. Mursi and his co-defendants denied the charges.

Reda Sanoussi, the brother of one of the victims, was unhappy with the dismissal of murder charges against Mursi.

“I want to enter the cage and pull out his intestines,” he told Reuters.

Burma’s Revolution From Below

Elites still think they’re running the show. But farmers are increasingly taking matters into their own hands.

BY ELLIOTT PRASSE-FREEMAN-APRIL 20, 2015

In the streets, paths, and paddy fields of hundreds of Burmese towns and villages, thousands of protesters are mobilizing, in creative and often radical ways, for everything from constitutional change, to educational liberalization, to improved labor standards, to fair energy prices. But most significant — in terms of numbers, commitment, and challenge to the status quo — are the numerous farmers’ protests against the land grabs that went on with impunity during the military era and whichare continuing todayeven amidst Burma’s ostensible transition to democracy.

Thailand: Drop Charges Against Phuket Journalists

The Phuketwan journalists are among the few who are still regularly reporting on the pervasive human trafficking of Rohingya in Thailand. Thailand’s efforts to show progress in tackling human trafficking are seriously damaged by this shoot-the-messenger action against journalists exposing abuses.

APRIL 16, 2015

(New York) – Thai authorities should drop criminal proceedings against two journalists for reporting on trafficking of ethnic Rohingya “boat people,” Human Rights Watch said today. Alan Morison and Chutima Sidasathian, the editor and correspondent of the news website Phuketwan, were charged one year ago, on April 17, 2014, with criminal defamation and the Computer Crimes Act based on a complaint filed by the Thai navy.

If convicted on the criminal defamation charges, Morison and Sidasathian could be imprisoned for up to two years. Under the Computer Crime Act, they face a maximum sentence of five years in prison and a fine of up to 100,000 baht (US$3,125). They are scheduled to go to trial on July 14-16.

“The Thai authorities should direct the navy to unconditionally drop its baseless charges against the two journalists,” said Brad Adams, Asia director. “This effort to silence media criticism has backfired against the navy, which should act swiftly to cut its losses.”

The charges centered on a paragraph in the Phuketwan online newspaper on July 17, 2013, that cited a Reuters investigative report alleging that some navy officials “work systematically with smugglers to profit from the surge in fleeing Rohingya,” and that they earn about 2,000 baht (US$63) per Rohingya “for spotting a boat or turning a blind eye.” The report was part of a Reuters investigative series on the plight of the Rohingya, an oppressed Muslim minority in Burma, that won a Pulitzer Prize.

Human Rights Watch believes that criminal defamation laws should be abolished, as criminal penalties are always disproportionate punishments for reputational harm and infringe on free expression. Criminal defamation laws are open to easy abuse, resulting in very harsh consequences, including imprisonment. As repeal of criminal defamation laws in an increasing number of countries shows, such laws are not necessary for the purpose of protecting reputations

The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, which Thailand has ratified, guarantees the right to freedom of expression, which includes the right to impart information. The United Nations Human Rights Committee, which monitors state compliance with the covenant, has expressed its concern at the misuse of defamation laws to criminalize freedom of expression and has said that such laws should never be used when expression is without malice and in the public interest.

“The Phuketwan journalists are among the few who are still regularly reporting on the pervasive human trafficking of Rohingya in Thailand,” Adams said. “Thailand’s efforts to show progress in tackling human trafficking are seriously damaged by this shoot-the-messenger action against journalists exposing abuses.”

You’ll Never Eat McDonald’s Again After Reading These 10 Horrifying Facts

You’ll Never Eat McDonald’s Again After Reading These 10 Horrifying Facts

by RevContent

Before you head off to your favorite fast food restaurant, you may want to take a look at this article. Did you know that there is a high chance you will be eating crushed beetles and duck feathers with your fast food burger?

Here are some of the most disgusting additives you are eating when you “treat” yourself to a MacDonalds. 1.) Ammonium Sulfate – This is used to mass-produce bread, it is also used to fertilizer soil and kill bugs and more commonly used in strong household cleaning products. Unbelievably, the FDA has deemed it safe at the low levels which are found in food products, but the issue has been raised as to effects on people who eat bread daily. Ammonium sulphate has been linked with irritation to the gastrointestinal tract causing diarrhea and nausea. 2. Silicone Oil – Chicken McNuggets are full of dimethylpolysiloxane, a silicone oil that is often used to make contact lenses and other medical items. Dimethylpolysiloxane is also an anti-foaming agent. 3. TBHQ – You can find this additive in 18 McDonald’s menu items. TBHQ, is ususally listed as an “antioxidant,” what it doesn’t state is that it is a SYNTHETIC chemical with antioxidant properties and NOT a natural antioxidant. The chemical stops oxidation of fats and oils which helps to prolong the shelf life of processed foods. It is used in processed foods of all kinds, but it is also found in varnishes, lacquers and pesticide products. It is also used in cosmetics and perfumes to reduce the evaporation rate and improve stability. It is a chemical preservative so deadly that just five grams can kill you, but don’t panic, the FDA says it’s generally regarded as safe (GRAS).

4. Cysteine-L – Fast food restaurants use Cysteine-L, it is an amino acid derived from human hair, duck feathers and hog hair and is used to flavor their meat and soften their breads and pastries. This is an amino acid which also shortens the baking time of mass produced bread. This is mostly produced in China by dissolving the hair or down in acid and sent around the world as a bread softener.

5. Prescription Drugs -Researchers from Johns Hopkins University tested feathers from farmed raised chickens and found some interesting facts. Anti-depressants as well as other prescription drugs are added to chicken feed for fast food “poultry”. Basically, the chickens are raised on a steady diet of prescription, over-the-counter and banned drugs.

6. Propylene Glycol -Propylene glycol is a chemical compound that can be found in anti-freeze, e-cigarettes and fast food.

7. Carminic Acid – derivived from Cochineal beetles, Carminic acid is used to dye foods, especially meats, red.

8. Dimethylpolysiloxane - This is found in almost all fried fast food menus and it can be also found in contact lenses, silly putty, cosmetics, shampoo and conditioners, polishes, heat resistant tiles to name a few!

9. Silicon Dioxide - This usually added to processed beef and chicken to prevent clumping and is listed ingredient for chili from Wendy’s and Taco Bell. Experts suggest that it isn’t harmful for consumption, but it’s interesting to know that the ingredient keeping chili meat nice and non-caking is also the primary component of diatomaceous earth, commonly used as a natural insecticide.

9. Cellulose – ~This is processed wood pulp and is found in nearly every fast food menu item. It is used in proactically everything ranging from cheese to salad dressing, from muffins to strawberry syrup. Food processors use it to thicken and stabilize foods, replace fat and increase fiber content. It also lowers the cost due to minimizing on ingredients such as oil or flour. Powdered cellulose is produced by cooking virgin wood pulp in chemicals to separate the cellulose which is then purified. Modified versions require extra processing, such as exposure to acid to break down the fiber further. Here are just a few of the fast food restaurants that include cellulose in their foods: McDonald’s, Arby’s, Jack in the Box, KFC, Pizza Hut, Sonic, Taco Bell and Wendy’s.

5 Simple Rules to Prevent a Stroke And Save Your Life

Strokes are one of the leading causes of serious, long-term disability and the fourth leading cause of death in the US.

SIGNS OF A STROKE

Although signs and symptoms of a stroke may be different with each case and person, the most common symptoms can be easily remembered as FAST. The sooner you call 911, the higher chance you or someone else has of surviving a stroke.

F – Face drooping.

A – Arms weaken.

S – Speech difficulty.

T – Time to act fast and call 911.

HOW TO PREVENT A STROKE

80% of strokes can be prevented. By taking precautions and controlling the risk factors, you can control your health and lower the risk of long-term disability caused by a stroke.

1. QUIT SMOKING

Smokers double their chance of having an ischemic stroke, which is an narrowing or blocking of arteries to the brain.

One 2008 study looked at women between the ages of 15-49 and found a direct relationship to the number of cigarettes smoked in a day and the risk of having an ischemic stroke. The more a woman smoked, the higher her risk of stroke became.

It’s hard to quit smoking, but there are professionals to help. Small changes in your dietcan also help you kick the habit. Just remember that quitting smoking won’t only lower your chance of having stroke, but also dramatically improve your overall health and reduce risk of serious disease.

2. LIMIT YOUR DRINKING

Heavy drinking is linked to stroke risk, therefore you should try to limit the amount of alcohol you consume. A healthy dose of alcohol is recommended to be about 2 pints of beer a day for men and ½ pint for women. Replace a pint with a glass of wine, and the doses will be the same.

3. CONTROL BLOOD PRESSURE

Those with uncontrolled blood pressure are 4 times more likely to suffer a deadly stroke, as reported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Because high blood pressure is not easy to spot, most people tend to not treat it. But the American Heart Association says that only 45% of those with high blood pressure actually have it under control.

See your doctor for regular checkups and prevent high blood pressure naturally by stocking your kitchen with foods and spices known to combat high blood pressure.

4. IMPROVE CHOLESTEROL

Since stroke is caused by blocked blood flow to the brain, it only seems natural to control your cholesterol and promote healthy blood flow.

High cholesterol increases risk of ischemic stroke, whereas high density lipoproteins actually protect against heart attacks and stroke.

Eating healthy and regularly exercising can help control your cholesterol.

5. MANAGE YOUR DIABETES

Many studies have proven people with diabetes have a higher risk of stroke. Due to the high levels of glucose increasing the buildup of fatty deposits, blood vessels are easier blocked.

Manage your diabetes by eating healthy and regularly exercising. Some foods, such as grapefruit, have been shown to be a great food to fight diabetes.
