United States – Happy Thanks Giving! (2013)

November 28, 2013

By Padmini Arhant

Thanks Giving provides reason to reflect on events and express gratitude for benefits and gains even though such appreciation at any time rather than on special occasion would promote better relations in society.

The Native American tradition honoring earth for bountiful crops demonstrated importance on planet protection that in return guarantee good harvest, clean air and water – the necessities in life. 

Environment preservation abandoning pursuits and techniques contributing to pollution and contamination could reverse the trend from disasters to positive development.

The contemporary practice fomenting violence through warfare, terrorism and use of nuclear component attributed to habitat destruction and species extinction.

The endless wars involving chemical attacks and nuclear proliferation comprising missile testing on deserts and oceans cause ecological imbalance with ripple effects on food chain.

Industrialization encroachment on rain forests in Amazon and African savannah with deforestation, over fishing and poaching activities respectively impact conditions essential to sustain life.

The persistent abuse of land, air and sea aimed at natural resource depletion ignores the adversity endangering existence of all beings including those responsible for the detriment.

Thanks giving originating from culture that worshipped nature prevalently disregard the requirement to contain icecaps melting in the Arctic and Antarctic, soil erosion leading to massive flooding and mountaintop removal with dynamites for mining…despite serious repercussions experienced worldwide.

The ordinary custom extending beyond meeting and greeting family as well as friends on this holiday pledging support to national, humanitarian and environment cause would exemplify individual and collective duty incumbent on inhabitants.

Whenever the source generating life and energy confronted with systemic violation of standards due to excess greed, the valleys and rivers nurturing plants and diverse species begin to decline decreasing survival opportunity.

The immediate priority is to save the treasure cove under water, on ground surface and in the sky to avert catastrophic weather producing economic problems with infrastructure and livelihood damage.

Neglecting earth would mean denying sanctuary along with supplementation and salvation process.

Whether Keystone XL pipelines project in the United States or global nuclearization – these decisions threaten evolution with risks outweighing economic and political prospects now and in the future.

Evidently conservation with appropriate actions expanding green revolution is the viable solution to safeguard biodiversity.

Happy Thanks Giving!

Peace to all!

Thank you.

Iran – Nuclear Deal With P5 + 1 in Geneva

November 24, 2013

By Padmini Arhant

The nuclear deal between P5 + 1 viz. United States, Britain, France, Russia, China and Germany and Iran recognizing Iran’s nuclear enrichment rights with no new sanctions regarded as the preliminary step towards nuclear standoff resolution.

Although P5 + 1 initial measure could ease unnecessary tensions and unwanted provocations,

The fact of the matter is IAEA and UN reports along with United States and Israel’s military as well as intelligence authorities have found no evidence in the alleged Iran’s advanced  nuclear activity.

Iran as signatory to Non Proliferation Treaty maintains the nuclear program is for peaceful purposes and accordingly reserves such opportunity.

Nonetheless the existing economic embargo and financial restrictions on Iran based on unsubstantiated claims hurt P5 + 1 credibility with intentions to sustain pressure limiting nuclear enhancement.

The truth is the individual and collective P5 + 1 nuclear status in the absence of similar inspections and verifications on their stockpiles endanger global stability and security.

Unless there is acknowledgment among P5 + 1 to this effect, the discriminatory policy targeting nations like Iran and North Korea with crippling sanctions only promotes exceptionalism allowing major nuclear powers to accelerate accumulation barring accountability.

United States, Britain and Israel use of nuclear weapons and components arguably catastrophic and yet P5 + 1 non-compliance considering legacy and prevalent geopolitical dominance prolonging illegal invasion and occupation of foreign land remains existential threat to humanity at large.

Hence, P5 +1 leading the rest of the world in nuclear disarmament would deliver meaningful outcome on nuclear talks rather than intense negotiations with Iran – the non-nuclear member of NPT pledged to peaceful cause.

Besides imperial powers aggression not excluding potential nuclear warfare in the all options are on the table rhetoric cannot be ignored with preference for volatility rejecting peace and democracy anywhere.

Additionally, Chernobyl and Fukushima nuclear accidents, United States nuclear sites leakage and radioactive waste contamination of rivers along with Russia’s experience in series of fire incidents involving atomic submarines are some of many environment disasters harming life.

The Russian atomic powered submarine Tomsk fitted with two nuclear reactors caught on fire near Vladivostok in September 2013 and previously in December 2011Yekaterinburg carrying nuclear missiles on board engulfed in flames in northwestern Russia preceded by the Kursk nuclear submarine explosion on sea claiming 118 seamen lives in August 2000 serve as reminders on nuclear hazards in the contemporary setting.

Further, the nuclear states ICBM and diverse capability testing in the ocean increases vulnerability to ecological damage leading to planet deterioration.

The unanimous decision to renounce nuclear ambitions and proliferation with enactment of international laws enforced without exceptions is the immediate priority to alleviate constant risks from nuclear related ramifications.

Failure to change course from nuclearization to nuclear free zone could precipitate irreversible consequences with pervasive impact.

Earth protection is directly linked with removal of nuclear arsenal and other weapons of mass destruction.  The P5 + 1 submission to nuclear and WMD renunciation given the substantial inventory in possession would eliminate nuclear pursuits in the foreseeable future.

Hopefully reason and reality would guide choices resulting in universal safety and survivability.

Peace to all!

Thank you.

Syria – Political Dimension behind Chemical Weapons Disarmament

November 22, 2013

By Padmini Arhant

The western and regional coalition deployed terror networks use of chemical weapons in Syria targeted civilians and Syrian defense force since crises onset.

Although the facts based evidences implicate Saudi Arabia as the provider with United States and western partners knowledge and consent in the chemical weapons attack, 

Washington and Moscow deal on this issue commissioned Syrian government for disarmament and not Saudi Arabia, Israel, United States or the terror operatives in possession of the arsenal until now. 

Turkish authorities apprehended al-Nusra Front terrorists found with sarin nerve gas generously used against innocent people in Syria.  The earlier and latest UN team reports along with Russian independent inquiry confirmed terror groups’ engagement in WMD resulting in Syrian massacre on each occasion.

Yet, Washington and Moscow pact on Syrian CW expedited the Organization for Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) and UN agency inspection and disposal of Syria’s stockpiles again ignoring western and regional sponsors WMD status despite their direct involvement in the genocide.

Washington threats with military intervention against Syria under WMD pretext had no credibility and accordingly confronted domestic and international dissent considering Iraq experience on world watch persists in terms of continuous unrest and bombings producing casualties on all sides notwithstanding economic liability for United States and western alliance.

Furthermore, Washington military option would have led to political upheaval for the administration and congress given public dissatisfaction and disapproval of overall performance.

Meanwhile Israel’s wish list comprising dismantling Syria’s biological inventory diligently complied with Washington and Moscow diplomatic maneuver optimizing Russia and Syria relations for swift and smooth removal of chemical agents from Syria leaving Israel, Saudi Arabia and other aggressors WMD intact regardless of legacy.

With no preconditions on Syria WMD surrender, Washington and Moscow bilateral enforcement on Syria is a decisive victory for Israel having been exempted from such requirement irrespective of proven track record on WMD abuse.

Not surprisingly, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during recent visit to Moscow commending the success in disarming Syria’s chemical storage urged Russian President Vladimir Putin to apply similar strategy with Iran’s nuclear program.

In the absence of immediate ceasefire preventing loss of lives and infrastructure destruction including lifting economic sanctions in reciprocation to Syria’s CW renunciation,

The prevalent situation with procrastination on Geneva 2 conference exacerbates Syrian population suffering along side facilitating contagion effect on Lebanon, Iraq and Egypt…aimed at regional destabilization.

International rules set up for selective imposition on law abiding states while granting impunity to nations renowned for violations on general standards promotes inequality and injustice endangering global peace and security.

The contradictory practice lacking in fairness legitimizes illegality misleading the world with discriminatory policy and exceptionalism.

Life sustenance possible only upon universal implementation and adherence in WMD matter currently on the reverse trend with proliferation among nuclear powers excluded from any verification and accountability.

Finally, terminating terrorism with funding prohibition and arms embargo would exemplify sincere commitment towards peaceful resolution of Syrian turmoil.

Failure to proceed with Geneva 2 accord would clarify otherwise.

Wishing Syria triumph in purging terror.

Peace to Syria!

Peace to all!

Thank you.

Afghanistan – Bilateral Security Agreement with United States is Renouncing Sovereignty

November 20, 2013

By Padmini Arhant

United States troops withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2014 is negotiated through bilateral security agreement (BSA) for extension beyond scheduled date.

The pact includes controversial provisions such as grand immunity to foreign forces on crimes against Afghan citizens and nightly raids of Afghan homes without warning and warrants involving rape, killings and unprecedented violence towards Afghan people.

United States, NATO and foreign alliance illegal invasion and occupation of Afghanistan using 9/11 as pretext while sparing Israel and Saudi Arabia behind September 11 attack with then U.S. administration and intelligence committee complicity evidently a major political and military debacle  having learned nothing from previous experience.

Afghanistan war into thirteenth year since military intervention in October 2001 claimed thousands of innocent lives in that country and neighboring Pakistan as well as armed  personnel especially United States and Britain sustaining heavy losses and yet all casualties dismissed as collateral damages in the imperialistic quest unheeding ground reality.

The so-called war on terror evolving into terrorizing Afghan children, women and men regardless of age with drone attacks, intrusion conducting searches in Afghan houses at odd hours, detention of young Afghans in Bagram prison and centers run by western allies – Britain, Germany and Australia has reached a crescendo in foreign aggression prompting Taliban retaliation both ignoring civilian deaths in the war ravaged nation.

United States, Britain and coalition defense force misconduct ranging from shooting spree of Afghan population, burning holy Quran to desecration of deceased Afghans not regarded as crimes in the security arrangement despite the incidents constituting violation of national and international laws not barring human rights abuse in the typical civilized world.

On the economic front, the imperial powers tradition to destroy culture and social fabric maintained with poppy cultivation leaving nearly 1.5 million citizens addicted to drugs and those promoting narcotic trade profiteering from Afghan and rest of the world destruction due to contraband distribution in open and black markets ruining more lives to benefit self-proclaimed privileged members parasitic existence.

Afghanistan denied of economic growth also corrupted with foreign occupiers bribery to stifle nation building and accordingly declared a failed state lacking potential for self-governance justifying subjugation under colonial entity.

Reiterating the fact on corruption causing human suffering worldwide, the foreign political apparatus subservient to oligarchy and imperial era remnants care less about citizens anywhere whether domestic or abroad enforcing agenda prolonging status quo.

Afghan Loya Jirga representing tribal and rural community along with Parliamentary members entrusted with responsibility to cast votes on citizens behalf in accepting or rejecting deal with United States have unique opportunity to demonstrate national loyalty in declining monetary incentives from foreign and local authorities engaged in swaying decisions to Afghanistan detriment.

The elders from Loya Jirga and people representatives in Parliament are at crossroads to make political history honoring public opinion on BSA i.e. overwhelmingly in opposition to foreign presence on Afghan soil.

They bear collective responsibility in arriving at consensus that could liberate Afghanistan from imperial dominance and end foreign extension bringing relief to Afghans in the endurance of unlawful drone assaults and nightmare attributed to midnight ransacking of Afghan humble dwellings carried out with no regrets or remorse.

As for Taliban containment, United States and NATO sponsored terrorism in Libya, Iraq, Mali and now Syria hiring al-Qaeda and affiliates not excluding Taliban as allies ironically are adversaries in Afghanistan to perpetuate militarization of the nation.

Imperialism ascension and expansion in Afghanistan resulted in empires collapse providing valuable lessons on greed motivated violence with inevitable impact on the source.

Besides, wasting tax dollars in trillions on Afghanistan and Iraq wars arguably counterproductive considering ill consequences on the western and global economy.

The only beneficiaries could perhaps be drone manufacturers and investors seeking perennial harvest from heroin production discarding self-deterioration in the illusive pursuit for geopolitical monopoly.

Afghanistan government and heads of tribal groups rising to the occasion in recognition of Afghan will on BSA calling for unconditional and complete removal of all foreign deployment is the only alternative to reclaim Afghanistan freedom.

The concessions in this regard consenting to imperialistic aspirations would mean surrender of sovereignty and sacrificing Afghan future with irreversible outcome.

Hence, Afghan youths and others in civil society persistence to free Afghanistan could be exemplified in reminding Loya Jirga leaders and Parliament members not to compromise on Afghanistan territorial integrity and national identity in the critical decision making process.

Nations have choices for resistance or retention of vassal statehood subscribing to foreign feudalism.

Choosing former option would be restoring personal and national independence.

Contrarily, the latter is submission of destiny to authoritarianism.

Hopefully wisdom and patriotism would guide Afghanistan in the establishment of peace, stability and justice necessary for pervasive prosperity.

Best Wishes to Afghan citizens in republic empowerment.

Peace to Afghanistan!

Peace to all!

Thank you

Philippines – Super Typhoon Haiyan

November 12, 2013

By Padmini Arhant

Philippines experiencing the worst environment problem through Super typhoon Haiyan deserves world attention in providing humanitarian assistance to the victims and international adherence to climate treaty in containing pollution and contamination affecting habitat and humanity.

The island nations are most vulnerable to severe weather conditions due to inadequate resources including technology to reach remote coastal areas and as a result they suffer from high death toll and population displacement.

Philippines braving recent storm and massive flooding immediate challenge is crises mitigation in delivering emergency aid to stranded residents in the marooned territories seeking basic requirements for survival.

Although various local and foreign relief organizations coordination could ease the burden in supplying essentials to people,

The national preparedness in the disaster prone zones involving safe relocation to shelters with necessary arrangements and capability to deal with calamity are critical to save lives and livestock limiting economic losses that often exceed anticipated outcome.

Again insufficiency in this regard exacerbate human suffering producing more casualties and damages otherwise averted with advance warnings for evacuation and response measures preventing irreversible situations related to life and recovery process.

The global pledge to assist developing nations with modern mechanisms and relevant capacity during UN climate conference merely remaining an agreement not translated into actions also contributes to status quo in the Philippines and elsewhere.

World priority is to address environmental issues beginning with clean air and water that are increasingly becoming a rare commodity considering significant number of inhabitants across the globe are deprived of these sources despite the natural elements abundance on earth.  

UN conventions such as COP 15, COP 16 and COP 17… are consistently met with non-cooperation from prominent polluters declining to share responsibility even though they are liable for more than half of environment abuse in the domestic and offshore locations attributed to strategies focused on optimizing profitability at vast majority expense. 

The governments unwillingness and lack of political will to implement environment standards for energy, defense and agriculture industry – arguably the dominant forces among conglomerate running political system in industrialized nations continue with serious environment violations worldwide in the absence of any accountability.

Human efforts to abandon detrimental pursuits and practices based on events recurrence with pervasive impact would be initial recognition of planet protection for entire world rather than selective privileged society.

The culmination of warfare comprising bombings, explosions and drone attacks leaving debris on the ground and pollutants in the surroundings not to mention the major powers underwater nuclear testing or missile launch to enhance offensive status represents existential threat to life existence and sustenance.

The mass awakening to reverse destructive trend leading to ozone depletion and sea level rising pertinent to offset potential harm to atmosphere conspicuous in the latest environmental hazards causing ecological imbalance that would ultimately delink the food chain obstructing bio-diversity.

There is urgent need for universal compliance on environment laws barring exceptions and commitment to preserve nature from persistent abrasive profiteering policy that ignores the essence of healthy living reflective in holistic approach and appreciation of life as a gift to mankind.

Sincere condolences offered to bereaved families and survivors struggling to cope with unprecedented difficulties from Typhoon Haiyen in the Philippines.

Global citizens are urged to come forward with generous donations in expediting rescue operations for the distressed in the archipelago.

May God’s blessings alleviate Philippines plight now and in the future.

Peace to all!

Thank you.
