“BANNON’S CANNON”

by Desmond Kelly ‘the Star of eLanka’

Poetic justice for all my Lankan/Australian readers everywhere. S.B.S Television, Sunday night, the 11th of June, 2017 at 8.30 pm, an hour long documentary that seemed to pass by, in about 15 minutes (it was SO interesting), all about “The new America” that will hopefully become “The Country” to bring Peace and Stability once again, into a World that is right now, in SO much turmoil, not one of us know WHEN the final curtain comes down, and as a famous quote of the Royal Ceylon Navy states, then, it will be LIGHTS OUT, PIPE DOWN for us all.

Wars that were supposed to “end all wars”, SO many of them in the lifetime of this writer already. Drugs, abject Poverty, Homelessness, Starvation, you name it, and at least 80% of Humanity have suffered the terrible consequences. 10% might be “just scraping through” & the balance are the “Wealthy & well-looked-after”. NOW, to put the “Quinine on the cake-top” comes TERRORISM. This “Bitter-Curse” has been with us for quite a while now and seems to be getting worse with each passing day. We, in Australia have been LUCKY in that terrorism has not been as rampant as in some other Western Countries but the “ALERT SYSTEMS” are on, and so they should be. It could be our turn next.

America’s new President Donald Trump has not even completed his “Political Honeymoon” & he has already faced a fair share if criticism, mostly for”rhetoric” that would not have been possible to solve, had he even been “SUPERMAN”. He has already “sacked” many top members of the Presidential Staff, gone overseas a couple or three times, met a few other Presidents & even the Pope, prayed at the “Wailing Wall” in Israel and is now back at the White House, still having a “go” at the Social Media whom he considers to be “FAKE”.

As I normally do, I watched this documentary this evening & DID form my own opinion on this guy named Steve Bannon. He is still a close member of the President’s Staff and has not, is not, & never will be “backward in coming forward” with his own views on what would make America become great, again.

To me, Steve seems to be a “born fighter” in the best sense of the word. He looks rough & tough” doesn’t seem to give a damn about donning Presidential “regalia” when meeting Donald or his other Senior, appropriatly dressed staff (including the S.I.L.), speaks his mind without fear or favour, and because of all this, has become the “subject” of a touch of green, “Internal-Jealousy ” at the White-House.

As a matter of fact, while I watched President Donald Trump giving his followers another “speech”, on T.V., I felt that the President was really “mouthing” the very words that Steve Bannon (standing not very far away), was psychologically saying to his “boss” without uttering a woed. MR. PRESIDENT, you have a very good man there. Look after him, & together, you will really make America GREAT again.

“WE ARE NOT PLAYING BACK-GAMMON HERE.!

“STEVE BANNON HAS THE CANNON
TO BRING DOWN THE TERRORIST FELON”

TAKE HEED OF WHAT I SAY, GOD BLESS.THE.U.S.A.

“AFTER WHICH, THE “BULLET WE WILL BITE”
TO GET OUR PRIORITIES RIGHT
OVER THERE, & DOWN AUSTRALIA WAY”

In Memory of Pearl Jennet Fonseka

As the hyped up Ashes series gains momentum, and the gloves are off for a feisty battle, this series definitely has the trimmings of a blockbuster as cricket mad Aussies gather to meet England's challenge and matching barbs with the Barmy Army.  Much has been written and debated about the clash of cricket's titans which will remain unrivalled in terms of the game's origins that will continue in its entirety.  While pundits and analysts decipher the intricacies, I take a different approach to my assessments and predictions about how this series will play out. Statistics and predictions on past performance has no real relevance in this case much like picking a Melbourne Cup winner. Looking at the two combatants, I see two potent bowling attacks that will prove pivotal to deciding this series pretty much on the proviso, the key bowlers stay healthy.  Both teams have batting that reaches deep, but here is where Australia hold a decided whip hand.  Australia has an influx of talent that is available to be tapped into, England not so deep. Therein lies the possible advantage to the Aussies apart from home conditions that the tourists will take time to adjust.  The evolving methods of pitch preparation gives England no advantage in strategic planning,  but Australia may have some inside insights as most home team's do these days although there's no guarantees in this game of uncertainty.  Pushed in to the domestic program has given the Aussies time to assess playing conditions and the nature of the pitches in the five Tests before the big dance. Australia's dilemmas, if it is, focus around getting the batting and team makeup right, more so the batting order because of the injuries to key pacemen , skipper Pat Cummins and Josh Hazelwood which makes it intriguing and let's England in with a chance. England for their part, are projecting an air of cool confidence having already finalised their battle plans. But that facade could well hide their innermost feeling of uncertainty against a known adversity that is drilled to not buckle down. No matter what.  My prediction rests on Australia's batters led by stand in skipper Steve Smith and a line-up that runs down to number eleven to tip the scales in Australia's favour.  It will be the hinge on success or disaster against an England attack that is as potent as Steve Smith's men with Joffer Archer, Mark Wood and skipper Ben Stokes's spearheading an attack that has plenty of variety in a closely talented duel between cricket's greatest rivals. Mitchell Stark leads a fiery Australian attack and although missing Cummins and Hazelwood, is still potent with Ben Duckett, Scott Boland and Michael Nesser to choose from. If Duckett and Boland are both selected,  it will be a landmark decision of two indigenous players representing Australia for the very first time.  My prediction is Australia 4-1 or 3-2 but the contests will be riveting. Can't see a draw in excellent Aussie conditions
