No change in American foreign policy - Blake


Blake has been a very open-minded diplomat, the best US Ambassador we had during this conflict. Obama should keep him

Mr. Obama
President
USA.

Highly Honoured Sir,
I am writing this letter to tell about my people suffering a lot in Sri Lanka. Government Forces are Sinhalese forces (Sri Lankan Forces) say that they are fighting with LTTE and killing Tamils and chasing them in deep jungles. Children and old peoples are in the rain and snake bites. LTTE Freedom fighters are already in other regions established there camps inside territory. They are only helpful to us giving food and shelters and safeguarding us from the Sri Lankan army fires. If any Tamils try to go other side Sinhala forces threatening us to kill and some time they kill to. Every day we Tamils are dying. War is not going to end. Please give pressure to Sri Lankan government send them to peace table. Government is Sinhalese government and they like t show up that they are heroes and the win Tamils in war for their next election champagne.
Sinhalese and Tamils two ethnicity different culture already they separated by heart they never will together now. Sinhalese government show up that they win Tamil territory and might win in the next election. So the election champagne is ethnic war in Sri Lanka. Sri Lankan government spending million dollars in other countries for lie champagne. They (Sri Lankan Government) pretend lie is true. India is playing a politics. My Tamils are dying.
Please consider this and give pressure to every side make them to solution peace talks not a war.
Thank you.
Geetham.

While the election of Barack Obama is a blow to George W. Bush-Republicanism and a gain for racial equality in this country, it is in many ways only a symbolic victory. The future of the U.S. s foreign and economic agenda will continue to be saturated with ideologies and individuals that are directly responsible for our current predicament, both in the Middle East and domestically.


That is the opinion of an analyst. It seems all the excitement of an Obama Presidency is all misplaced and in vain. For more on this see:

Here is my contribution:

Also at http://my.barackobama.com/page/community/post/gajalakshmiparamasivam/gGxZHp

His Excellency Barak Obama
President of the United States of America

09 November 2008

Dear Mr. Obama,

Financial Crisis / Global Terrorism

I am so very happy that you happened . You personify my prayers that my investments in the system of Democracy are not wasted. When America is led by non-whites over equal length of time as whites, America has proven itself to the world outside that it is democratic. May God / Love / Truth be with you in this leadership role. When you want it badly and do all that you can it will happen for you. Others may or may not see it. But it WILL happen for you. That is when you govern yourself and the world that you truly represent. The world that is in your heart.

As per the news reports, your first priority is the economy which has crashed. To me, it is the confirmation of 9/11, the time gap being the period it takes for people losses to become money losses. 9/11 is the manifestation of excessive desire of those who continued to enjoy the benefits of higher status of the subjective hierarchical system without actually paying the price plus the excessive enjoyment of benefits of democracy by those who continued to depend on others for higher status but kept expressing at the lower levels by ab(using) democracy. The Vertical system is the Y (why/law) axis and the Lateral system of democracy is the X (what/facts) factor. In an ideal Vertical system which you need for active leadership by individuals no facts would be produced until we reach our goal. Then our beginning Highest Common Principle and our end Deepest Common Value would become One. In other words, we practice that Principle to convert it to Value, without being distracted by side shows .

Similarly, in an ideal Lateral system the final outcome would be a collection of facts we produce at each delegated level. Under this system there would be acceptance of what happened / reality and rule by majority and no recognition of why it happened. If an outcome is not produced by the delegated officer in whose environment / group / institution the facts are born / happen then that person loses the real authority of democracy. Any outcome / judgment made therefore has the why component and is subjective and if delivered in an institution enjoying the benefits of democracy, that would be immoral. Equal Opportunity judgments in Australia have a high component of why influence (with judges making out that they know why a law enforcement officer did what s/he did) and the complainant is required to produce evidence of why the alleged offender did what s/he did. In other words, even the courts and executive bodies responsible for upholding Democracy through its primary path of Equal Opportunity system were/are using the why system that they are supposed to override. Even when a complainant produced Objectively measurable evidence that showed that she was listed as a Sri Lankan despite her protests / affidavit evidence that she was Australian seeking to be protected and/or punished by fellow Australians the authorities and the courts ruled that the complaints were lacking in substance.

At first I was shocked that the courts / authorities would rule that my complaints of racial discrimination were lacking in substance - even though they were made on the basis of loss of employment after me proving myself to be an outstanding performer. I tried to explain that substance depended on three factors in descending order:

1 Ownership / Issue/ Law (belief )
2 Facts (objective proof including affidavit evidence from direct participants as to what happened)
3 People (subjective proof including affidavit evidence from direct participants of why it happened)

To take a matter to a predominantly white authority / court a colored person has to sacrifice deeply and/or lost much and/or be indifferent /frivolous. If a court spends its resource hearing a matter listening to evidence of ownership as well as facts that prove that it happened, it no longer has the authority to rule that the complaint was lacking in substance / frivolous. By doing so, they are stating that they did not have the substance to prevent the case at the primary stage without any hearing. Once hearing begins, every litigant is owed a guilty or not guilty verdict. A dismissal is taken as a guilty verdict for the person being dismissed.

Given that we are your allies, I feel strongly that you have similar problems in your country as well. Hence you had 9/11 and we had Bali Bombings. Together we retaliated through Iraq, and we the residue translated itself to happen as the financial crash.

Recently there was criticism that your banks were declaring staff bonuses after the public rescued them. This is proof that that rescue was pampering the failures. Those who own would take hardship that happens at the lower level, as strength at higher level. To the extent the Banks shared in the difficulties of people they were entitled to be rescued. Your system went beyond that line.

I realized through a recent banking event in my life - which happened , that the employees of my bank the St George Bank were quick to hand me over to the Police as did the employees of my University - the University of NSW. The Bank officers sought to do this in relation to what they recognized as a loss to another of their banking family the ANZ Bank. Their aim was merely to prevent / avoid the secretive withdrawal of funds from ANZ Bank. It was not to catch the wrong doers or to educate customers to know what could go wrong with such partnerships. Likewise the University to prevent / avoid open challenges to the Administrative skills of the Vice Chancellor.

The St George Bank staff did not show any concern at all about another transaction through which they unethically as well as unlawfully took money from my personal account under the name of foreign exchange loss the parallel of the funds your banks received from the public through the Rescue Package. The facts relating to this are as follows:

(i) On 01 August 2008, Bank Draft for US$21,200 purported to be towards funds for the Orphanages in Sri Lanka (which I did not question) was deposited into our personal account because the bank refused to accept it into our business service account saying the draft was in my name.

(ii)Hence my husband deposited it into our personal account. This was credited to our account as AUD22,351.08 but without the funds being available to us. In other words, it was merely a book entry.

(iii) On 02 September the bank wrote to us that the above deposit into your account on 14 July 2008 has not gone in . (the draft was dated 14 July).

(iv) On 05 September 2008, the bank debited our account with the exact amount of $22,351.08 shown in (ii) above

(v) On 29 September 2008, my husband deposited a replacement draft as requested by the bank s letter dated 02 September 2008. This was credited as AUD23,824.99 with a debit fee of AUD10.50

(vi) On 10 October 2008 the Bank debited our account with AUD28,722.29 in respect of this transaction and sent us a letter confirming that the draft was counterfeit.

Now, Mr. President, this is also the case with your banks. The public have paid for their book losses.

The above net debit of $4,897.30 was unethical because:

(a) I pay fees to the bank for their claimed expertise in such dealings so that the public do not profit nor lose from those transactions. Those who have the license to participate have the opportunity to profit and the responsibility to accept losses without taking revenge or blaming others. Hence the boundaries of banking. When I also have the license to use the bank as a facility for foreign exchange dealings, I have the proportionate responsibility for losses. Until then I am responsible to pay only a general processing fee.

(b) If I transacted with the intent to defraud my bank, then any profits from that are criminal and any losses are punishment for such criminal activities. I did not at any time intend to defraud my bank nor did it happen through me.

(c) If the foreign draft money had been credited to my account with the funds being available for my use, and then the bank had found out that it was a forged document, then together with the bank, I would have been a medium through which the fraud happened . It would have been a common responsibility to be borne out of common funds with the licensing authority.

(d) It is like me paying Sri Lankan Airlines to take me from Singapore to Colombo. I cannot use the seat until the Airline has followed Due Process and secured it specifically for me. But once the Airline accepts my money for the seat at that price, it does not have the moral / ethical authority to charge me a higher price for a seat that never existed in the first instance but about which the Airline did not have the expertise to know at the time I paid the price.

(e) In summary I was charged for their lack of expertise. The Bank said that if the exchange rate had worked the other way around, we would have been credited with the difference of a mythical transaction / seat. We are yet to hear from anyone independent of the bank, of such credits. We did hear from victims that the banks are known to debit the customer after the customer had withdrawn the money.

(f) The Officer from the Australian Federal Police said to me that St. George Bank was in the process of preparing for the closure of all my accounts with them. It did feel unpleasant to hear this. The depth of the feeling could be assessed through the following response to one of the money dealers from London, who asked me to open another account with another bank for this purpose. They gave me the name of that other bank. I wrote:

Thank you Mr. XXXXX. Another of my business associates also asked me and offered to pay double your offer. I declined. St. George is my bank and I share intuitive feelings them. I will not have this protection with another newer bank. Thank you for the offer anyway

Regards
Gaja

(g) I have much wisdom and goodness in financial management not only due to my personal / family values but also due to my professional practices with faith. This is what helped me pick up the unethical practices at the University of NSW and I even used my equal opportunity investment to urge participation. The American trained Vice Chancellor who was driven by money did not hear me and the University had its own version of 9/11 through migrants complaining against Professor Hall on the basis of Scientific Fraud . Had the University staff heard me on the basis of Professional ethics and merit basis I would not have complained through the Equal Opportunity component. Had they heard me on the basis of racial equality, the Hall matter which happened at the same place where I was denied financial reports and facilities by the White Chief of Finance, would not have had the power of my pain. The cost for the University for defending that matter ran into millions of dollars in money and much more in people (Status and Goodwill). Likewise if Americans in authority had heard the grievances of migrants and did what they could to uphold democracy, they would not have felt 9/11 but accepted any loss as Participation Cost the same way I accepted my numerous failures in Courts. As a caring community member said to me this morning after reading my open letters to the bank President Lincoln said about himself that if he had won the first round in public life, he would not have felt motivated to rise to the level of Presidency. Likewise, if the Vice Chancellor of the University of NSW had willingly accepted and included me in his team, I would not be writing to you.

(h) Those of us who have genuinely practiced Equal Opportunity at the global level in lower as well as higher environments are truly universal and the whole world is our Home of Opportunity. We manifest the facts as we partner the needy each fact being produced to represent the total value of our combined investment in the structures / rules that flow from the respective law common to both.

(i) I do believe now that when we are genuine and we truly care we manifest the Truth naturally even though we sometimes may not want it to happen due to our own attachments to the institution, profession, country or specific individuals. When the pain suffered by the individual is beyond the need of the total group Facts manifest themselves beyond the control of the good protecting individual - with least real pain to the individual and all those who have faith in that individual. Otherwise Judas would have continued to be protected by Jesus and the world would have missed out.

(j) To my mind, it is no coincidence that the amounts withdrawn by St. George Bank who claimed to have sent it to ANZ Bank was 5,000 and the amount debited to our personal account under the foreign exchange loss was also around the same amount. If not for the latter I would have not thought about your country s economic crisis. Both are mythical losses as are your economic crisis. For me, the loss of approximately $5,000 is the participation cost in international banking, through unstructured minds that are able to cheat the international Banking experts.

(k) In 2003, when a community leader asked me whether I would help the Tamil Tigers build a Public Administrative system, I agreed because I felt that Australian society had rejected me and I wanted to share my wisdom with my natural community with whom I shared birth-rights. The assignment was under UNDP banner and I put this down to return on my genuine investments in the official Public Administrative system at the Highest Achievable level in my environment which to me is the closest to the ideal. That is the UN I had earned and I got it. The rest of the UN is theory / mythical.

(l) If I were afraid of acting outside the safe limits within which I have comfortable access to facilities especially the police and other armed officers, I would have been limited to a narrow circle of political activity as is the case with many migrants in Australia and possibly in many Western countries including USA. But because I had contributed to raise the achievable standards to much higher level by converting in my mind my public losses to participation costs I accepted the assignment and successfully educated many and formed the basis on which I would contribute to my country of origin without being distracted by myths from both sides.

(m) Likewise earlier this year, after St George Bank drew a cheque out of my account, for about the same amount as the foreign currency draft discussed above, in favour of University of NSW without any instructions or approval from me I knew that I had to do my own banking as per my own investment in financial management at the global level and using the goodness of those outside the administrative circle within which I had comfortable access to facilities or risk being limited to a low status where I get told by junior banking officers what to do. To my belief that would not have been good for me nor for them.

(n) As per my Research and Discovery, most of our decisions including scientific ones have two components (i) Intellectual understanding (ii) Faith based intuitive following. The latter includes seeing facts being produced through common experience.

(o) If we therefore neither understood through our merit based structures nor had faith based belief we fear as well as desire . Hence the fear of terrorism and the fear of bankruptcy/recession . Indicating past desires or future mythical expectations.

(p) In both instances (Politics & Banking/ People & Cash) I became part of the system that was being feared , by genuinely connecting to the participants through their natural goodness to which I naturally added mine to become common with them.

(q) I needed faith to come out of the security of my earned structures and when they failed to deliver those failures helped me give up my expectations through them. Then I was able to see the manifestations of faith in natural environments. Those manifestations delivered for me confirming that there was God/Love/Truth and that to the extent I have genuinely invested in the issue, I would reap the outcomes I need for my purposes and for the purposes of all those who have faith in me. No institution can grow without faith. Where there is no faith and therefore no understanding as to what to expect reliably from a system it is necessary to have a facts and observations based lateral system. To require one to be obedient without that common link is dictatorship.

(r) To the extent I was punished by the Australian system for upholding the values of my work through the democratic path the Australian justice system is excessively punishing lawful minorities and hence their labels of Terrorism need to be discounted by that factor to know whether a group has or has not crossed the border of rebellion into terrorism.

(s) To the extent the Australian Banking system punished me for their own mistakes their labels for these underworld groups need to be discounted to determine the gap between the official system and the real system. Until then the person/s empowered by the public including these alleged criminals, do not have the moral authority to punish these groups. If they did punish then karma / Natural Justice will return the excess to the punisher each one as per their weakest investments to Nature.

The above net debit of $4,897.30 was unlawful because as per the deposit slip the person in whose name the foreign currency draft was drawn had to sign and accept responsibility as per the terms stated in the deposit slip. (The Bank has thus far not advised us as to which law that rule flows from). Karma happened to overturn the possible legality through small prints. This confirms to me that my investment in good financial management has returned dividends. The person/s responsible for taking the money from my account will get their own back as per their weakest investment in Nature / Truth

To distinguish between the real problem and the myth in your own system you need to multiply our Australian weakness by the faith factor between Americans and Australians. Given that no American has in the above two issues, delivered an intellectual explanation that all genuine investors could relate to, they may experience difficulty accepting that a Black Australian has delivered. To the extent they have faith, they would not need intellectual explanations. The only Americans whom I can think of being connected to me through strong faith are those who have faith in my religious/spiritual leaders Sri Sathya Sai Baba of India and Yoga Swami of Sri Lanka s Tamil Eelam. What I know is automatically shared with those with common faith to the extent of their faith. This is why we need institutions that grow through time. Otherwise we need associations that spread laterally by producing similar looking facts at the same (equal) level so we see and believe that we are equal.

If you or one of your own respond, I know that we are connected by common faith. Otherwise I know that we both need to grow up more or spread more naturally.

May God Bless America to grow laterally under your leadership. That would require you to share more and think less.

Yours affectionately

I didn't read it as it is too long for me. Looks like you are applying for a job. Hope Obama finds the time to read it and offers you a job.

By the way, why are you calling yourself a Black Australian. Trying to identify with him eh? What makes you so sure that he likes the Blacks? Chances are he is more white than the white man and in that case, you have blown whatever luck you may have had!

P007,

Or contribution to Policy from the heart using the mind

Hope Obama finds the time to read it and offers you a job


He may not. But I feel fulfilled that I have done something to help. Gandhi was never offered a job - as per my knowledge.

I do not depend on luck. I have rich good karma to deserve what I need to lead a fulfilled life. I get it most of the time.

By the way how come you are not able to find answers in it for your/our country?

P007,

As per my experience, most people do not read regular reports except when they get some direct credit out of it. Ultimately we do what we do for ourselves. That is good governance. I feel happy reading my own work. I was able to share this with my daugther Uma Springford who works for Lend Lease here in Sydney and my daughter thanked me saying that helped her not stress but do her best and appreciate her own work. Most of the deeper learning is through faith / belief. Only a small portion of our learning is through understanding from zero base.

love
