Debt is fine but only if you have an asset to back it. Problem with third world countries is that they have no liquid assets. Countries in the West can print money which is accepted by producers. For example - the dollar, pound, euro. No one will accept the Sri Lankan rupee if their Central Bank just prints it.

The Ten Principles of the Georgia Guidestones, America's Strangest Monument Are you familiar with the Georgia Guidestones? When someone first mentioned it to me I thought it both interesting and strange. Located 90 miles East of Atlanta, the monument consists of a set of 10 guidelines inscribed on a stone manmade structure in eight modern languages. At the top there's also a short message inscribed in four ancient language scripts. Some people are calling it an "American Stonehenge." The slabs and capstone stand just over 19 feet tall. The creators of this monument have chosen to remain anonymous and the man who conveyed the instructions to the Eberton Granite Finishing Company 19 miles away used a pseudonym. Obviously it cost a pretty penny to produce and install. Purportedly the group behind this had spent twenty years in planning. The inscriptions are in the following languages: English, Spanish, Swahili, Hindi, Hebrew, Arabic, Traditional Chinese, and Russian. The ten commandments inscribed there are as follows: 1. Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature. 2. Guide reproduction wisely - improving fitness and diversity. 3. Unite humanity with a living new language. 4. Rule passion - faith - tradition - and all things with tempered reason. 5. Protect people and nations with fair laws and just courts. 6. Let all nations rule internally resolving external disputes in a world court. 7. Avoid petty laws and useless officials. 8. Balance personal rights with social duties. 9. Prize truth - beauty - love - seeking harmony with the infinite. 10. Be not a cancer on the Earth - Leave room for nature - Leave room for nature. A lot of it sounds "nice" but one gets a little concerned about the first two, the first especially. I'm curious how they propose to reduce the earth's population by seven billion in order to fulfill their concept of balance with nature. Does the second statement refer to a return to eugenicists helping create a more perfect race? Is it Brave New World inspired, as if Huxley's book were a manual, instead of a red flag? Heres what WIRED wrote about the Guidestones: The Georgia Guidestones may be the most enigmatic monument in the US: huge slabs of granite, inscribed with directions for rebuilding civilization after the apocalypse. Only one man knows who created them-and he's not talking. The strangest monument in America looms over a barren knoll in northeastern Georgia. Five massive slabs of polished granite rise out of the earth in a star pattern. The rocks are each 16 feet tall, with four of them weighing more than 20 tons apiece. Together they support a 25,000-pound capstone. Approaching the edifice, it's hard not to think immediately of England's Stonehenge or possibly the ominous monolith from 2001: A Space Odyssey. Built in 1980, these pale gray rocks are quietly awaiting the end of the world as we know it. You can find the rest of that story HERE.

Self sustainability is the answer. Sri Lanka has every natural resource for it to be self sustainable but the politicians and their business friends do not want the country to produce enough because when importing things from another country they can earn money through commissions and corruption. Sri Lanka has the natural resources and workforce for it to produce enough foods, vehicles, medicines, petrol and diesel, and electricity. Government do not want the country to be self sufficient because the correct politicians will miss out on import Commissions.

Sometimes what isn't reported shows what the regime is most fearful of.

When the common people find out, it's too late - the rupee would collapse by then

China: 10%, India: 2%. Sri Lanka tried to negotiate with the IMF for the 17th time to restructure, not successful. 64.6% debt in US currency, 15% in Euro, 10% in Japanese yen, and 5% in Chinese yuen.
