US Navy Blockade of Strait of Hormuz
Padmini Arhant
President Donald Trump authorizing U.S. Navy blockade of Strait of Hormuz following Islamabad peace talks failure is impulsive reaction pivoting from rare peace initiative to usual provocation that would hurt United States economy more than currently experienced in rising fuel prices in a State like California.
California, where democrat governance abandon local oil resource production citing environment reason and importing oil from South Korea is anything but smart decision.
The democrat politics environment record in carbon trail and other environment hazardous activities such as chem trail on the sky in the politically targeted locations is at the least sinister.
This post was written and published on May 5, 2012 during 1st term democrat Presidency actively and arbitrarily engaged in targeted Chem trail that has resumed again in 2026.
Notwithstanding the deadly corona virus was also conceptualized and bio engineered in North Carolina lab for manufacture in Wuhan lab with the vaccine deal struck in 2015 with Moderna under the same democrat Presidency in 2nd term.
The corona virus unleashed in Presidential election year 2020. In 2021, the same democrat Presidency took control via proxy administration that was declared cognitively dysfunctional, and rolled the mandatory vaccine with the slogan – “No jab no job”.
The action similar to ruthless compulsory health care viz. Obamacare subscription to vastly benefit healthcare industry especially the health insurance industry in the quid pro quo, while subjecting healthy and hard working taxpayers in the economy to carry the burden tied to severe penalty and repercussions in the healthcare scam.
The chem trail hazard executed in 2009 – 2016 under democrat Presidency is resumed to sabotage environment not even caring for residents in the neighborhood including elementary school.
Indeed some habits whether old or new never die for those unrelenting and unwilling to renounce.
Not surprisingly the elementary school was assaulted in Iran war against Iranian school children between 6 – 12 years of age – all girls in the gender fixation hostility.
Evil does what evil is accustomed with – wreaking havoc much to own peril. The evil action is then never even considered a crime with political impunity hiding behind race card.
The U.S.Navy blockade in Strait of Hormuz upon implemented would be a tremendous hit on not only U.S. economy where major corporations and small medium businesses’ components and materials are either directly or indirectly imported from China regardless of U.S. tariff.
The Taiwan based Foxconn too is routed via China for all tech based and other high end electronic goods supplied to the entire world.
The same apply to global economy with China being the world manufacturing hub by choice and default.
The proof is in these developments.
Global Shift REVERSED: Why India Didn’t Replace China!
China as the global manufacturing warehouse importing significant oil from Iran pass through Strait of Hormuz reaching the Far East.
The blockade on Strait of Hormuz targeting Iran is essentially United States shooting on own foot.
Although, the entire warfare on all fronts proven as such for United States and Israel, who started the war and dealing with consequences thus far.
The reactionary decision to punish Iran upon disagreement on United States’ unreasonable conditions at Israel’s behest in Islamabad talks is fueling the war that in itself running out of fuel in metaphor and practicality.
Power is not all about flexing against those mistakenly regarded a fair game. These are the times, the tide turning against the presumptuous power is not a possibility, in fact a certainty as witnessed and encountered at present.
Wisdom is best served in the absence of miscalculations and adjustment of own lofty aspirations to realistic goals.

US – Iran Peace Talks
April 12, 2026
US – Iran Peace Talks
Padmini Arhant
The peace talks between United States and Iran hosted by Pakistan in Islamabad on April 10 and 11, 2026 not reaching an agreement is no surprise.
It is no different from the ongoing United States funded Ukraine war with Russia that began in February 2022, and for that matter the war against Gaza in October 2023, both started under democrat administration with no peace agreement to date on any of them either.
The contemporary politics fascination for simultaneous wars in various regions is a tradition and by default peace shunned over relentless conflicts.
The conditions from the belligerent forces viz. Israel and United States, being individually and combined nuclear states demanding the nation Iran, a non-nuclear State and a member of Non-nuclear proliferation treaty, unlike Israel and United States having declined to be a signatory of this critical international accord, that Iran should abandon nuclear enrichment and ambition especially in the aftermath of betrayal in June 2025 and February 2026 is a tall order.
In February 2026, when Iran agreed to all of the unilateral terms from United States and none applied to Israel, the brutal attack is launched by Israel on February 28th, 2026.
Israel’s provocative and merciless invasion commenced with mass assassination of Iranian leaderships followed by targeting elementary school girls in 6 – 12 years of age in the callous engagement. These atrocities expose the reality on peace antithetical to war mongering factions and those behind war policy.
Imposing unreasonable demands on the victim nation Iran and population, while Israel and United States remaining the violators in that regard, history repeating itself in the war against Iran such as in Iraq and Afghanistan leading to United States forces evacuation is eventual.
The failure of peace negotiations with wars draining economy alongside inflation and meteoric rise in fuel price due to Israel’s unnecessary prolonged war against Iran, and those who never posed any threat against United States and the republic, the status quo is unsustainable.
The outcome is a setback for United States and Israel contrary to VP J D Vance parting comment isolating Iran at loss.
Above all, the global impact is significant with fuel crises hurting economies and nations struggling to survive the dire situation since the breakout of war on February 28, 2026.
Those adept at starting wars unable to arrive at peaceful resolution is colossal defeat of the policy and politics fueling non-negotiable proposals, despite the reversal undoubtedly rejected claiming national security priority.
National security is a priority for all. The victims of relentless military interventions in particular are forced into preparedness not barring nuclear status for deterrence than defiance against adversaries endangering lives, sovereignty and territorial integrity at will.
Non-nuclear condition from nuclear states Israel and United States would be fair and reasonable upon the latter submitting to denuclearization leading others to follow suit.
Those seeking anything from another being the example of that would make them credible in the otherwise devious double standards dominant in partisan politics.
US – Iran ceasefire is not a favor. In fact, it is the only option considering there aren’t too many in the United States willing to fight Israel’s war against Iran, and neither there are majority consent to pay for the endless wars as taxpayers burdened with huge liability in generational sovereign debt.
Those rejoicing the unsuccessful outcome of the latest peace talks are not the ones pledging their lives nor monetary contributions in the extension of war with severe regional and global ramifications.
Politics rising to the occasion on international crises setting aside arbitrary expectations and extraordinary restraints against Iran is the hour of need.

US – Iran Ceasefire

US – Iran Ceasefire
Padmini Arhant
The latest development on the US – Iran war to ceasefire for two weeks is a welcoming gesture with brief respite in many dimensions.
The innocent victims all around have paid enormous price in lives with existence made impossible amid shelling and bombing alongside clash of air power and extreme conditions that are routine in warfare.
As said earlier on this topic on this site, war is easier to start and harder to end experienced by world time and time again.
The political mindset has to be fine tuned to resonate with ground reality anytime especially at war times that consume lives and treasure rapidly leading to the precipice.
Unless they are controlled with pause moving towards permanent halt to recover from catastrophic damages, the cumulative effects felt in the war against Iran would only flare and become unsustainable.
United States administration of President Donald Trump and Iranian leaderships under President Masoud Pezeshkian together with Iran’s Majlis Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf and foreign minister Abbas Araghchi have a great task ahead to transform two weeks ceasefire to an indefinite peace.
It takes all sides including United States ally Israel to exercise restraint and demonstrate sincere commitment to resolve the crises.
The peace making is not only important to Iran and United States. The diplomacy with amicable and fair peaceful negotiations are critical to establish lasting peace in the entire Middle East with simultaneous impact on the rest of the world.
The world is affected whenever there is a war evolving into a major conflict in a region like Middle East.
Unfortunately, the Middle East is also vulnerable to foreign interventions escalated into military aggression that requires conclusion once and for all now and in the near future.
The focus on US – Iran peace talks is to recognize the priority to respect sovereignty of nations regardless of geographic locations and economic status. The lives of population that are the first casualties in war and economic liabilities that accompany the extravagant military engagement.
The leadership in today’s world of turbulence and turmoil shifting from hegemonic goals to forging mutually beneficial economic and strategic ties barring dominance over one another is the foundation for genuine peace and progress.
United States and Iran coming together to start a new relation premised on peaceful dignified economic ties and meaningful political rapprochement is the gateway to global economic as well as regional peace and security.
Pakistan as the interlocutor shares responsibility to lead the peaceful transition from devastating warfare to termination of violence and destruction. Pakistan facilitating the peace discussions in Islamabad is an important factor.
Accordingly, all sides involved in the strenuous peace making deal have serious obligation to deliver their promise to enforce peace and not engage in any surprise attacks, ambush or arbitrary strikes including in Lebanon.
United States VP J D Vance public statement on peace talks to exclude ceasefire in Lebanon is ominous for those unwilling to negotiate on comprehensive peace plan.
The continuous military operation by Israel in Lebanon until now is unaffordable protracted warfare costing American taxpayers that needs suspension without further delay.
The majority consensus is clear that American taxpayers are not prepared to foot the expense of prolonged war against Iran, Lebanon and regional confrontation, besides the unresolved wars in Ukraine and Gaza since February 2022 and October 2023 to date.
Furthermore, VP J D Vance indecision on Iran war privately against and publicly for it pose huge credibility problem.
It is crucial to have a firm stance one way or another that otherwise confirms political imbalance inappropriate in addressing international deadlock such as Strait of Hormuz.
Wishing relief through peace to the people of Iran and all those enduring pain and suffering in the warfare with success in the ceasefire approach.

United States – Senate Vote on Federalizing Election Process

Senate Vote on Federalizing Election Process
Padmini Arhant
United States politics prioritizing saving democracy at home prior to democratizing rest of the world would conform to getting own house in order before minding other’s domain.
The ongoing Senate debate in the United States on remedial measures to fix the largely broken system beginning with electoral process together with other fundamental underlying problems is an urgent requirement.
The democrat party stance against presentation of valid ID and proof of citizenship that guarantees voter right in accordance with Constitutional law to elect representatives at local municipal level to national level is an open violation undermining clean effective democracy.
The Republican debate on this issue to validate every vote with verified government approved ID and citizenship is a rule that would be a natural embodiment of election from local to federal law.
The other contentious issues maligning democratic electoral norms are mail-in-ballots with the exception of defense force and diplomatic emissary deployment overseas, and domestically citizens unable to cast ballots due to health conditions and other unavoidable circumstances granting them the mail service, otherwise the mail-in-ballots is also another avenue for mass voting irregularities that has been proven in earlier national, state and local elections.
Above all, the focus on the reversal of Supreme Court ruling in Citizens United vs. Federal Election Commission would demonstrate a serious commitment to restore democracy in the prevalent political decadent era.
The landmark Supreme Court verdict under then democrat administration in 2010 on Citizens United vs. Federal Election Commission in favor of corporations and Unions alike allowed them unlimited independent political spending via quid pro quo contributions significantly increasing the influence of money in politics.
The status quo exponentially drowning ordinary electorate voice across the spectrum is a major debacle for a democracy touted as the beacon worthy of emulation.
The so-called world’s largest democracy, India immediately followed suit in enacting the same law with unanimous vote across party lines to exploit opportunity in receiving campaign finance from whomsoever and wherever including foreign governments and those publicly identified as enemies on territorial annexations, and various allied interests to control election under the guise of democracy.
The Indian political action introduced Electoral Bonds Scheme, which allowed anonymous donations to political parties without disclosure of donor identities.
There is no doubt the fate of democracy is critically hanging in balance in nations viz. United States and India promoted as model of democracy for the remaining world with power quest dominant in overriding constitutional framework for exclusive and vested interests.
As such, the democrat party in 2024 Presidential election discarded democrat primary invalidating own democrat base in the brazen coup dètat launching own preferred Presidential candidacy with foreign political (Indian & Israeli lobby) collusion, despite the candidate Kamala Emhoff Harris failed Presidential bid in 2019, as the first candidate to exit the democrat primary race in the democrat base declined choice.
Furthermore, the democrat political party selection criteria in Presidential election subject to affluent influential Super delegates comprising wealthy, governmental and hierarchy based members’ preference superseding the democrat base election in the primary, the format typically null and void the democrat primary voting.
The archaic tradition is yet another irony of all for a political party stated democrat in a system declared a democracy.
The democrat party in the United States heavily relying on mail-in-ballots, voting without valid ID, freebies thrown such as in the last year’s 2025 New York Mayoral election enticing non-taxpaying electorate with free bus rides, the freebie albeit burdened on the other electorate as taxpayer is a routine political strategy.
However, the same democrat political party slackening essential rules on voting procedures obviously for political vantage pursue the politically targeted taxpayers in democrat party governed California State adopting unscrupulous means i.e. extortion by levying illegal penalty and interests on taxes paid on and well before due date under the pretext of rule of law that is selectively applied against those in the target list.
Either rules apply to all or none. Any rule that is arbitrary against selective victimization in the so-called democracy is worse than a banana republic and systems unambiguously authoritarian.
The rule of exception and exemptions exercised by politics for political expediency has landed democracy in the discretionary chamber of legislative branch and politics appointed judiciary.
Meanwhile, the poor too poor to pay taxes and the wealthy too rich to waste in taxes, leaving the average wage earners and struggling businesses to bear the unbearable economic burden under the strict imposition of law against ordinary taxpayers in the economy.
The policies and strategy are justified democratic in the most undemocratic, and unconstitutional political system established to benefit the fiduciary and catalysts leading the unsustainable politics.
When ID is required in all functionality and operations in society, the elimination of voter ID and citizenship status proposed by democrat party as the slim majority in the current United States Senate is alarming making the electoral process symbolic and a mere formality in alignment with the democrat primary experienced in 2024 Presidential election.
The democrat political party departure from identity and woke politics, besides quitting recruitment of film industry in Hollywood and India on propaganda campaign would be a pivot to sincerity in serving American electorate.
The democrat party divestment in genuine representation transcending profile politics and engineered in solving constituency issues and challenges would be a refreshing change.
The unnecessary obsession with Indian / Tamil orientation aimed at nuanced negativity are counterproductive. Instead the efforts invested in meaningful assimilation on meritocracy are imperative for democrat party survival with credibility.
The systemic culture to destroy the democratic principles and constitutional nature endanger national sovereignty from within more than any adversarial threats from outside.

Update – Loot and Scoot Marathon
What else is new?
When caught in the act, the typical response is – ‘Nobody is Perfect.’
In reality it is applicable to the habitual opportunists sworn never to reform ever in piracy, theft and hide behind blanket branding hypocrisy.
The Archeological Survey of India (ASI) missing in action while 99.9% of priceless Indian artifacts and antiquities representing Indian and South Asian history are stolen and landing in private collectors’s possession in United Kingdom and New York, and the British Victoria & Albert Museum in London is no surprise.
Over million stolen items, the ASI has managed to recover 19 antiquities in the prolonged timeline of 1976 – 2001 is indeed commendable!🥹
Subsequently, ASI on freeze mode with top level government head in the so-called left and right politics alongside dealers implicated in Indian Idols and statues smuggling ring in India to Europe is also apparently no big deal.
In the context of other nations’ active pursuit to retrieve their items, Indian politics’ usual abstinence during their terms regardless of Congress and BJP in office is confirmation on them not wanting to lose ‘the reliable ally’ badge from those looting and scooting at will with no legal ramifications.
When citizens engage in illegal activities, the politics legislated laws pursue them.
Contrarily, when those in politics commit crimes that are normalized, they are conveniently protected with self-granted impunity making a mockery of the rule of law they impose on largely law-abiding society in their domain.
Politics in shambles and those connected as financiers and stake holders in power deal is the root cause of status quo.
