“MONEY GROWS ON KING COCA TREES”
1.1 “KING COCA GLOBAL PLANTATIONS” - THE WORLD’S GREATEST SOCIAL ENTERPRISE
Mission Statement:
“To create the World’s number one Holistic Health Beverage Company by
2030, with health-giving and rejuvenation properties, incorporating Traditional
Indian Medicine (TIM) and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) ”
THE YEAR WAS 1965. I HAD "INHERITED" THE MANAGEMENT OF OUR
LARGE, family-owned, TEA AND RUBBER PLANTATION AND MANUFACTURING BUSINESS IN
SOUTHERN SRI LANKA. AT THE TENDER AGE OF 15. I WOULD ATTEMPT A CROP
DIVERSIFICATION SCHEME, REPLACING UNDERPERFORMING RUBBER PLANTATIONS WITH
PASSION FRUIT AND COCONUT CULTIVATION. MY FATHER, WILSON DE SILVA, WOULD
CONSIDER ME A "DREAMER". MY PROPOSAL WAS VETOED.
In my Youth, I was always obsessed with “ECONOMIC JUSTICE”. Why was there such an Enormous disparity between those who were Rich and those who were Very Poor? How could we “incentivise workers” to become “Landowners”?
The Problem in Sri Lanka was “Neo Colonial Feudalism’ – according to “Socialists”! Capitalists did not want to Yield Economic Power to workers – they were “Stupid and Uneducated”! In America, there was not much economic disparities, I was told. How did they do it? I needed to find out!
IN 1967, A FRIEND
AT ROYAL COLLEGE, EARDLEY LIEVERSZ, HAD INTRODUCED ME TO SORENSON'S SUPERB
BIOGRAPHY OF JOHN F. KENNEDY. AS A RESULT, I WOULD BE INSPIRED TO attempt to GO
TO THE UNITED STATES, SOONER, RATHER THAN LATER, TO PURSUE MY
"DREAMS"! LEAVING "COMMUNIST" SRI LANKA WAS ALMOST
IMPOSSIBLE AT THE TIME...
Fortunately, I WAS able TO WIN ONE OF ONLY TEN
NATIONAL SCHOLARSHIPS TO BE AWARDED BY THE AMERICAN FIELD SERVICE IN 1968 – the
ONLY WAY to get OUT! I WAS ALSO FORTUNATE TO WIN A FULL SCHOLARSHIP TO THE MOST
PRESTIGIOUS, PHILLIPS ACADEMY, IN NEW ENGLAND, FAMOUS FOR ALUMNI SUCH AS
PRESIDENT HERBERT WALKER BUSH AND MARK ZUCKERBERG.
What was Sri Lanka doing wrong? What was the U.S. doing right? I would become OBSESSED with Comparing and Contrasting the two Political, Economic and Social Systems! It would become My Life’s work – for more than 50 Years!
RETURNING TO SRI LANKA IN "THE SUMMER OF
'69", I SOUGHT TO PROMOTE FUNDAMENTAL CHANGES TO THE America Field Service
PROGRAM IN SRI LANKA - AS THE NEW PRESIDENT OF THE SRI LANKA RETURNEES CHAPTER.
I wanted to make THE AFS PROGRAM MORE ACCESSIBLE TO THE POORER MASSES OF SRI
LANKA – resulting in the Most Horrendous Reactionary Efforts by the “RULING
ELITE” to disempower me! THE AFS PROGRAM in Sri Lanka had become an instrument
of a small Group of “Colombo Elites”. They HAD HIGH LEVEL, PRIVATE ACCESS, TO
THE U.S. EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION IN SRI LANKA – in the selection Process.
IN 1971, CONTINUED
RAMPANT DISCRIMINATION OF THE RURAL MAJORITY POPULATION BY THE "COLOMBO
COLONIALS" WOULD RESULT IN AN INSURRECTION AGAINST THE STATE, LED BY THE
PEOPLE OF THE SOUTH. THE WORLD'S FIRST WOMAN PRIME MINISTER, SIRIMAVO
BANDARANAIKE, WOULD CRUSH THE STUDENT LED REVOLT WITH BRUTAL EFFICIENCY.
CLEARLY, IT WAS TIME FOR ME TO HEAD BACK TO THE
U.S. IN MY SEARCH FOR “ECONOMIC JUSTICE”.
TEMPORARILY
ABANDONING MY DREAM OF BRINGING SOCIAL JUSTICE TO SRI LANKA, I TRANSFERED FROM
THE GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF FOREIGN SERVICE TO THE GEORGETOWN
UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF BUSINESS, MAJORING IN ACCOUNTING AND FINANCE.
I GRADUALLY SETTLED INTO THE EXTREMELY
COMFORTABLE AND SECURE CAREER OF AN AUDIT STAFF ACCOUNTANT IN THE WASHINGTON
D.C. OFFICE OF ARTHUR ANDERSEN AND COMPANY. SOMEWHAT RELUCTANTLY, I WAS
COMPELLED TO POSTPONE MY DESIRE TO FOLLOW THE CAREER PATH OF PUBLIC SERVICE,
CHOSEN BY MY LAWYER GRANDFATHER AND THAT OF ANOTHER FAMOUS GEORGETOWN ALUMNUS,
PRESIDENT WILLIAM JEFFERSON CLINTON.
MY DREAM OF SEEKING PUBLIC OFFICE IN THE UNITED
STATES WOULD BE THWARTED, FOR THE MOMENT. I WOULD ALSO BE COMPELLED TO LAUNCH A
LIFELONG BATTLE AGAINST THE RAMPANT INSTITUTIONALIZED RACISM IN THE U.S. AND
ITS MORE INSIDIOUS INCARNATION, "ETHNOCENTRICISM"!
I WOULD EVENTUALLY RETURN TO SRI LANKA TO
CONSULT IN THE EXPLODING GLOBAL GARMENT INDUSTRY, THE GLOBAL TRAVEL AND TOURISM
INDUSTRY AND THE GLOBAL FINANCIAL SERVICES INDUSTRY.
FAST FORWARD TO 2020....I WOULD NOW LIKE TO
CREATE OPPORTUNITIES, LIKE I DID, TO ALLOW OUTSTANDING YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN FROM
AROUND THE WORLD.... TO CREATE:
1) A WORLD FREE FROM “FOOD INSECURITY“ and FREE
OF THE TOXIC FOODS AND BEVERAGES BEING SOLD BY JUNK FOOD COMPANIES AROUND THE
WORLD, Making People MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO PANDEMICS - JUST TO MAXIMIZE PROFITS.
2) A WORLD FREE FROM ABJECT POVERTY.
5) A WORLD FREE FROM RAMPANT GLOBAL TERRORISM.
