Humanitarian Issue – National Federation of the Blind (NFB) Mission
May 21, 2014
By Padmini Arhant
The vision impairment might limit normal functioning but not necessarily the determination of those faced with such challenge.
Unlike earlier, blindness is overcome with many useful techniques and aid especially with technology enabling free movement and ability to perform tasks at home and work environment.
However, there are estimated 1.3 million blind men, women and children in the United States and more around the world in need of assistance for self-support existence.
On behalf of several citizens around the world affected by blindness,
I kindly request the global community to donate generously in improving the lives of many people through programs and modern facilities in progress due to organizations such as National Federation of the Blind commitment to change the perception about blindness and support those in the situation to cope with ease and dignity.
The excerpts of the letter received from President Marc Maurer, National Federation of the Blind, (NFB) presented for clarity.
“Blindness can be a terrible tragedy…but it doesn’t have to be if people like you understand.
Remember, blind people are not looking for a handout. We don’t want pennies thrown in a tin cup with pity. We want the chance to pay our own way, to go to school, learn a skill and do an honest day’s work for an honest living.
—The 74 percent unemployment rate that blind citizens in the United States face is outrageous! –
Blindness affects our eyes, not our competence, intelligence, skills, aptitude, or ability. We’ll prove that with proper training, we can show superior performance on the job.
With your help and the help of others, sighted people will exchange their fear and pity for understanding and acceptance.
Blind people have had to struggle against these misunderstandings, and we need you to help spread the message about what blind people can and can’t do…especially when it comes to employment.
Blindness is, and always will be inconvenient, but it doesn’t have to be incapacitating. WE NEED A CHANCE. We need trust and understanding! WE NEED YOU.
The National Federation of the Blind was organized almost seventy-four years ago to assist all blind persons, and particularly to help lessen the hurt for blind children who must function fully in a predominantly sighted world.
But, we can’t do it alone…we need your understanding, your voice, and your help to spread the word more than ever before…and we need it right now.
Here is some of the work we do which we need you to help us spread the word about:
> Building and equipping the largest, most up-to-date Braille and Technology Center for blind workers in the world.
> Creating Newline for the Blind the talking newspaper service that allows blind people to hear their local newspapers over the telephone.
>Developing the first Portable Hand-Held Reading Machine for the blind and most recently, the smallest text-to-speech reading device ever created – the knfb READER mobile.
This is such a life-changing innovation because it REDUCES THE INCONVENIENCE AND NUISANCE OF BLINDNESS. For the first time, a blind person, without help, can go shopping and distinguish between bottles of medicines and vitamins or tell if he or she is handing a cashier a $20 bill or a $1 bill.
>Establishing the innovative Online Blindness Education Program designed to teach critical information about blindness and blind people to sighted educators, blindness professionals, family members of blind children or adults, and anyone else interested in what blindness is – – and more important – what it isn’t.
>Working to improve the resources and opportunities for blind senior citizens to remain active, independent members in our communities.
>Providing White Canes free of charge to blind and visually impaired people who need them.”
You may please contact National Federation of the Blind, 200 East Wells Street, At Jernigan Place, Baltimore, MD 21230-4998. United States. Tel. # (410) 659-9314.
In conclusion, NFB President Marc Maurer plea is for the fundamental development utilizing innovative information and technology to allow the partial or full blindness condition to become less of an impediment.
The global empathy towards mankind would alleviate difficulties and suffering through sharing and caring for all.
Peace to all!
Thank you.

India – General Election 2014 Result Review
May 19, 2014
By Padmini Arhant
India’s 2014 national election concluded with massive victory for Prime Ministerial candidate Narender Modi and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) gaining absolute majority without coalition requirement to form government.
British Empire appointee Alan O. Hume founded Congress contemporarily headed by party chief Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi and family experienced colossal defeat in the recent election.
Congress Party tallied 44 out of 543 seats in the Lower House aka Lok Sabha polls this year.
The party’s substantial decline attributed to numerous corruption scandals, black money in Swiss banks and tax havens, soaring inflation, high unemployment and violence against women besides terror attacks in Mumbai, New Delhi and Bangalore…in the past three years under Congress UPA2 governance.
Notwithstanding government clamp down on anti-corruption rally resulting in casualty and youth peaceful protest related to assault on women infiltrated by politically instigated anti-social elements caused police personnel death and left several injured in the capital, New Delhi.
Similarly the Congress party and regional allies nationwide suffered setbacks and failed to win any Lok Sabha seats from prominent states like Tamil Nadu, Delhi, Jammu and Kashmir and more.
The electoral mandate is for fundamental change in political system transcending exclusivity and partisanship on social as well as economic issues dominant in the previous and the outgoing administration.
On the economic front, the politics prioritized campaign financiers interests and pursued external forces globalization agenda with little or no concern towards impact on local community.
The taxpayers funded government in the last decade was preoccupied in battling corruption charges and opposing anti-corruption law enactment.
Furthermore, the representation in Parliament was not inclusive and instead shared among the affluent, famous and powerful in society.
Accordingly, the political backlash against once regarded main party Congress and allies witnessed in 2014 election.
Indian electorate response understandably aimed at political reform with adequate mainstream participation in Parliament encompassing the marginalized and disenfranchised demography that could subsequently lead to fair income distribution, economic growth and development in areas long neglected due to lack of investment.
India’s progress confined to wealthy segments while the remaining citizens across the nation burdened with economic woes arguably influenced voter decision.
Additionally loss of national revenue from tax evasion and corruption contributed to large voter turnout rejecting those responsible for status quo.
Some states also set precedence in 2014 election expressing dissent on misuse of political capital denying those groups electability from the respective territory.
Nonetheless, the political structure is far from being perfected considering the reelection of some incumbents despite their involvement in high profile scams and investigations stifled to prevent exposure.
The constituents enabling the return of these candidacies perhaps expect different performance even though such anticipation earlier delivered disappointment maintaining the trend in empty promises on campaign trail and continuation of business as usual.
Indian election has provided unique possibility for real transformation in every frontier and Prime Minister-elect Narender Modi with BJP leaders and others support could realize goals for the entire nation leaving behind none in the process.
Congratulations and Best Wishes! To Prime Minister-elect Narender Modi, BJP and NDA alliance and political factions on the success and impressive record.
The roadmap for India’s rebirth will be presented in due course following the landmark election.
Jai Bharat!
Peace to all!
Thank you.

World Events – Mystery and Magic Defy Logic
May 5, 2014
By Padmini Arhant
Hegemony decline and dissipation is prompting them to adopt desperate measures creating chaos and confusion worldwide.
The orchestrated unrest in Ukraine, CAR, Mali, South Sudan, Libya, Syria, Venezuela and Thailand is aimed at destabilization for economic and strategic dominance.
The sudden disappearance of Malaysian commercial airliner MH370 with approximately 320 passengers including crew is still not traceable.
Similarly, the incessant violence in oil rich Nigeria and lately the alleged abduction of over 200 schoolgirls in northeastern city attributed to international criminal syndicate involvement.
The organized crime central is renowned for human trafficking, narcotic trade in Afghanistan and Columbia among other Latin American nations besides arms sales to militias, terror groups and dictatorial regimes facilitating human rights violation.
Underneath the façade as democratic rulers, the criminal enterprise engagement in nefarious activities as chief sponsors of terrorism, massacres through instigated clashes, genocide in promoting armed conflicts constitutes destructive accomplishments thus far.
In the economic front – corruption is the main source in undermining sovereignty for easier access to natural resources and human capital.
The money laundering with black money held in Swiss banks and various tax havens is yet another strategy to deplete nations treasury leaving respective population in abject poverty and the economy in deficit and debt.
Not to mention the means available in sports and entertainment industry in conjunction with numerous economic possibilities paving way for illegal transactions and funds transfer from national domain.
Financial loans are usually offered to subjugate nations with negative returns transforming the economy into banana republic.
Politically, the policy is to install proxy governance pledged allegiance to criminality ranging from fraudulent elections to kickbacks on government projects with domestic and foreign investments.
Any nation with real functioning democracy is targeted for removal from power like in Ukraine under previous leadership and likewise in Venezuela as well as Thailand.
Social issues – stirring sectarianism, ethnic and communal confrontations is hegemony forte premised on divide and conquer doctrine.
Civil Rights Infringement – dragnet surveillance, snooping and obsession with political opponents life, propaganda, misinformation, distortion, perversion, extortion, defamation, caricature, demonization and misogynistic culture regarded as the establishment prerogative.
Furthermore, hegemony human rights abuse is evident in prison camps viz. Guantanamo Bay, Baghram base and secret detention centers practicing torture, water boarding and many inhumane tactics qualifying as criminal conduct.
The imperialists’ depopulation agenda in developing nations is pursued with military intervention and predator drones killing innocent civilians and unarmed citizens world over.
Notwithstanding economic sanctions denying people essential food and medical supplies alongside starvation from famine and drought caused by environment pollution, contamination and degradation are few examples in hegemony goals to revive eugenics.
Additionally agriculture poisoning in the form of genetically modified organisms (GMO) and growth hormone injected meat production cannot be ignored in this context.
In depriving nations from economic development, political stability as well as law and order the countries are forced to accept the foreign imposed ideology i.e. One World government – New World Order represented and run by core committee in defiance of democratic principles or values, transparency and accountability.
The global victims rejecting the shadow power existence and exertion of authority could be demonstrated in dismissal of their representatives in disguise in national political system.
Humanity safety, security and progress are largely dependent on resilience and resolve emerging as formidable challenger to status quo that would effectively stifle external source engineered feudalism and vassal statehood.
Republic empowerment with people choice representation that is inclusive unlike the present exclusive configuration imperative for fundamental change in society.
A free nation is one without hegemony influence or interference.
Peace to all!
Thank you.

India – General Election 2014
April 25, 2014
By Padmini Arhant
Indian general election is underway with final outcome expected in Mid May 2014.
The two major political parties – the outgoing UPA 2 headed by the Congress party chief Sonia Gandhi and family and,
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) – the NDA together with regional partners seek re-election to retain control in the Indian political system.
Last but not the least is the introduction of the so-called Common Man Party (AAP) to discredit recommendation on this website for genuine mainstream political party.
The suggestion was made to offset prevalent plutocracy comprising celebrities, industrialists and political dynasty dominance deriving exclusive gains against national and republic interest.
The common man party with broom as mascot implies sly response to remark (again on this website) to clean up widespread corruption in India.
Such choice not only confirm the lack of seriousness in public service but also slight average citizens and middle class plight.
AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal – previously employed in Income Tax department is Congress nominee with hegemony sponsorship evident in campaign donations, political posturing and media promotion for the affiliate.
The relationship was formalized equivalent to tying the nuptial knots following the Delhi State Assembly election when AAP forged alliance with Congress to form government.
Subsequently AAP government resigned from power in Delhi State Assembly abandoning Delhi administration and electorate analogous to stood up bride with the distinction here being deserted by the groom with the broom at the marriage ceremony.
AAP leadership and associates are now on pilgrimage to the Holy City Varanasi perhaps on Kasi Yatra! – the journey often considered by those contemplating Sanyas or renunciation of worldly life although in this instance it might be retirement from politics.
Hopefully Kasi voyage is enlightening for AAP members and poet Kumar Viswas in particular in understanding Kasinath – the Visweshwar – God Shiva.
There are further revelations on Congress organized India against corruption (IAC) in 2011 with core members – Anna Hazare, Kiran Bedi, Arvind Kejriwal and Shanti Bhushan participation apparently to disqualify and derail authentic demand for effective anti-corruption law or Jan Lokpal bill encompassing Right to Recall among various other important measures that are required for political reform.
Accordingly, the IAC committee representatives owe valid explanation to the people and the nation at large having raised false hopes on graft legislation while the reality confirm collusion with political establishment and hegemony.
The desperate maneuvers from Congress to win third term considering the sharp decline in popularity due to soaring inflation, unemployment, numerous scandals, land scam deals and refusal on accountability in black money held in Swiss bank, Singapore, Dubai and several overseas tax haven and shelter clarify subversion for political salvation.
Similarly, the opposition BJP also shares controversial involvement at the regional and national level viz. the state of Karnataka and Rajasthan besides inaction to implement meaningful corruption remedy and investigation on tax evasion alluding to complicity with incumbency.
The security lapse conspicuous in the rampant crimes against women and terror attacks in Mumbai, New Delhi and Bangalore in the past three years notwithstanding allegations on members of armed forces deployed in northeastern states and Kashmir regarding abuse of special immunity shielding offenders from inquiry.
State interference at hegemony behest leading to the death of rape victim in New Delhi demonstrated disrespect for ordinary citizens life while other prominent members making mockery of victim and family pain and misery exemplified callousness ignoring ill consequences via bad karma.
Likewise UPA2 i.e. Congress response to anti-corruption rally in June 2011 authorizing excess force against unarmed and peaceful civilians not even sparing children, women and elders contributed to casualty with the demise of female attendee Rajbala and many severely injured in the violent crackdown.
Not to mention the shooting incident in coastal Kerala involving Italian marines Massimiliano Lattore and Salvatore Girone show the innocent fishermen lives are dispensable to the state and national leadership.
Hegemony influence and authority over Indian politics and economy substantially increased in the last decade.
The intervention undermines sovereignty rendering electoral mandate mere catharsis to legitimize the illegitimate proxy rule.
Furthermore the intrusion went beyond tradition bypassing the central government in New Delhi when U.S. former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton held direct meetings with the State Chief Ministers Mamata Banerjee of West Bengal and Jayalalitha of Tamil Nadu to prove foreign discretion in discarding protocol.
The syndicate presence in India through communication media and entertainment industry for propaganda and misinformation intended to malign dissent on treason and mass deception.
Also included in the strategy is identity theft ascribing character to undeserving and contrarily for insinuations and enactments to stymie original entities in the divine mission.
Indian political structure nationwide premised on the next of kin succession to mantle of power defy democracy.
The alternative factions ruling states for decades exploit voter dilemma to choose between equally contentious options converting the situation mandatory rather than accessibility to viable representation.
The speculation on the current election is the possibility for coalition in the absence of absolute majority by any party.
The betting is on Chief Minister of West Bengal Mamata Banerjee, Jayalalitha of Tamil Nadu or former CM Mayawati of Uttar Pradesh even though all three of them like their counterparts carry excess political baggage pertaining to administrative negligence, corruption charges and misuse of power.
Indian political class with the rich, famous, royalty and dynasty safeguard own ambitions for wealth, power and prestige.
As a result the remaining 99% population deprived of fair political and economic opportunity reflective in the staggering number forced into abject poverty, hunger and disease.
Additionally the lower and middle-income categories are faced with economic struggles along side nepotism in both politics and work force.
The economically affluent could always serve the nation without being on taxpayer funded position, perks and privileges for that would determine individual integrity and selfless commitment to worthy cause.
Then there is hierarchy in caste, creed and diverse segregation with assertion from the self-proclaimed highest caste to appoint a member amongst untouchables for the key post in politics as a token of their magnanimity – a trait emulating colonial era.
Ironically such condescendence only highlights inherent flaws in human nature and the source indulgence in self-degradation.
The former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister and Telegu Desam Party (TDP) leader Chandra Babu Naidu declared that the backward class member Krishnaiah would be the Chief Minister of the newly created Telangana state upon TDP emergence to power.
The ex-chief minister of Andhra Pradesh Chandra Babu Naidu overture perhaps emanates from massive suicides of farmers in the southern state during the term in office with the leadership prioritizing foreign ventures like Monsanto entry in agriculture business that led to tragic ending in the farming community unable to afford losses in the systemic misrepresentation by multinational corporation.
Relevantly, Congress unsuccessful attempts to implement the foreign direct investment (FDI) inviting the biggest retailer Wal-Mart and alike now pursued by BJP with the prime ministerial candidate Narender Modi touting support for the policy claiming to boost employment and economic growth.
Instead the political party intensive program to recover black money and offshore bank account holdings would exceed any foreign investment thereby protecting domestic retail industry and facilitating economic achievements in the immediate future.
On the nuclear power plant project in Koodankulam, Tamil Nadu – the central and state authorities typical reaction towards citizens on hunger strike is yet another example of politics loyalty to hegemony.
In foreign policy – Pakistan and China are regarded the problems based on territorial disputes, incursions and cross border tensions not barring militancy, Maoism and terror infiltration engaged in killing of Indian soldier such as decapitation in disguise – wearing Pakistani army uniform across the line of control (LOC) in Kashmir.
The events related to China are no different from skirmishes in the South and East China Sea together with United States pivot Asia stratagem and Korean peninsula heightened threats exacerbating regional security.
China economic status unfortunately is exalted in territorial annexation and arguably counterproductive for the nation dependent on neighbor and overseas market to maintain the manufacturing stronghold and productivity.
Hence, China’s recognition for India and other nations’ territorial integrity is critical for mutually beneficial economic trade and multifaceted dealings in the largest continent – Asia.
Whereas Pakistan is confronted with terror within the country and along borders adjoining Afghanistan, Iran, Bangladesh and India.
The reason behind Pakistan inability to contain terrorism is Saudi Arabia financing different terror networks and billion dollar monetary aid to Pakistan government, military as well as ISI personnel.
Moreover, decapitation is Saudi dynasty signature terror act witnessed in the kingdom and Saudi government recruited mercenaries in Syria.
The political, defense and intelligence apparatus bear collective responsibility to address burgeoning security crisis in Pakistan and adjacent areas in the Indian sub continent.
Pakistan perseverance to eliminate terror could eventually guarantee citizens safety inside and outside the country. The accomplishment would enable Pakistan to forge better relations with all shedding the reputation as failed state or terror refuge.
Simultaneously cash flow from Saudi Arabia and Ford foundation in the ongoing Indian election to the common man party (AAP), Congress, BJP and other political contenders appears to be open secret to preserve corruption culture in the convoluted version of free and fair election.
In conclusion India’s largest electorate an estimated 815 million casting ballots to elect political parties pledged allegiance to foreign conglomerate favoring power inheritance as entitlement and ideology in concurrence with polarization concept epitomize subjugation reviving the need for real independence and inclusive democratic rule.
Best Wishes to India for transformational progress touching the lives of the forgotten, forbidden and forlorn in the society.
Jai Bharat!
Peace to all!
Thank you.

Happy Easter 2014!
April 20, 2014
By Padmini Arhant
Lord Jesus resurrection to life on the third day following crucifixion on Holy Friday is celebrated on Easter Sunday.
Humanity failure to follow spiritual teachings and guidance is evident in civilization decline.
Those at the helm having no control over self-destructive indulgence direct their faithful in wrongdoing and violation of others rights endangering survival.
The conscious engagement by them to satisfy overwhelming greed and quest defy conscience leading them towards self-imprisonment in guilt and permanent suffering.
When sinful act committed with no acknowledgment and continued ignoring imminent judgment, the sinner invites endless misery and deterioration in life form beyond salvation.
The mirror image reveals actual character and the individual(s) denial confirm fear and folly overshadowing reason. Accordingly the personal attributes and orientation conveniently ascribed to anyone not even remotely related or in resemblance to such reflection.
These deeds clarify weakness and crippling mentality harming the source harboring malice in frustration for being unable to achieve ill-conceived ambitions even though the lack of success is entirely due to own past and present negative performance i.e. bad karma.
The absorption in devious plans and motives prioritizing self-interests only yield undesirable outcome in justification of dysfunctional premise.
Again in the absence of soul searching and refusal to learn from mistakes for meaningful existence adds to culmination of woes contributing to agonizing experience ahead.
Life offers opportunities and choices with clear distinction on opposite positions to eliminate confusion and false accusation. Yet deliberate involvement qualifying as willful conduct persists for lofty aspirations despite inevitable unfavorable results.
Hence imprudence overriding logic invariably produces setbacks in mission aimed at collective impact to benefit the selective few.
Lord Jesus Christ sacrifice to lead mankind towards deliverance upon recognition and appreciation could facilitate moral reconnaissance especially in the contemporary era.
Happy Easter!
Thank you.

World – Paradoxical Paradigm Conclusion
April 18, 2014
By Padmini Arhant
The shadow power reining control over political system via proxies worldwide especially in the so-called democracies are on the brink of collapse and accordingly unable to sustain dominance through violence, corruption and criminality.
The process having exhausted nefarious practices to exert authority despite sycophancy is evidently corrosive to society and attributed to human suffering.
In the absence of accountability combined with plutocracy complicity, the inevitable crumbling of infrastructure is the cause for trepidation demonstrated in dismal performance on all affairs.
The reason behind prolonging failed governance is graft and systemic abuse of mandate.
Unable to conquer imperial quest and illusive pursuits, the apparatus imminent fragmentation and dissolution could be blessing in disguise for victims of oppression, persecution, terrorism and human rights violation.
As for facilitators, agents, overt and covert operatives not barring contingency representing cronyism share similar destiny for collusion considering such participation contribute to exploitation.
The political factions having sworn allegiance to hegemony use diverse communication outlets including entertainment industry essentially the smoke screen for crime syndicate.
The electoral process is misused to justify representation and implement policies to favor hegemony.
The tactics deployed to maintain status quo conform to long tradition of deceit in addition to subversion of truth and facts about hegemonic devious agenda.
Until now the dark forces behind political maneuvering and mass manipulation evaded responsibility due to grand impunity among them to protect each other in criminal activities varying from embezzlements depleting national treasury to hoarding black money in Swiss banks and several tax havens committing economic genocide in the domestic and international domain.
Besides lucrative trade in drug, ammunitions and human trafficking, the nexus central specializes in destabilization and decimation of nations producing population annihilation across the globe.
As a result all structures under hegemony influence and guidance confronted with dissipation leading to irreversible outcome. The self-destructive course premised on falsehood and deception is directly responsible for misery and environment degradation.
The strategies focus on subjugation of people enabled with political diversity and self-proclaimed privileged class subservience to illegal establishment.
Refusal to introspection necessary for reform, the degeneration ultimately signify end justifying the means with karmic effects experienced upon departure from earth and many lives thereafter in the lowest form of existence.
The only alternative to cataclysmic future is to renounce flawed concepts and dysfunctional format adopting fairness and equality to promote universal progress and prosperity rather than exclusive wealth and power concentration.
Any dismissal of current proposal would exemplify inherent negativity overriding reasoning in fateful indulgence.
Yet another folly in hegemony plan is identity theft through innuendoes, enactments and insinuations once again guaranteed to backfire with profound impact on willful performers and source.
The conventional wisdom prescribes adherence to conscience to avert ill consequences in harmful malevolent actions serving self-interest at others expense.
Finally, insolence targeting challengers to declining empire constitutes misogynistic culture and disdain for divinities and divine mission.
The immature and reckless conduct emanates partly from ignorance and mostly supremacy characteristic in Kalyug – the concluding era.
Peace to all!
Thank you.

Russia – Hegemony Mirror Reflection Confirm Self-Deception
March 20, 2014
By Padmini Arhant
Mirror, Mirror on the Wall – Please tell the world – Who is the fairest of all?
The mirror responded with a smile – The self-proclaimed monarchy with Kings, Queens and Zars representing Kingdoms and Fiefdoms thriving on opulence at taxpayers’ expense,
The monetary institutions viz. the Federal Reserve in the United States, Bank of England, ECB, EC, EU, the Deutsche Bank, IMF, the World Bank and alike stranglehold on individual and global economy depleting national treasuries attributed to economic bankruptcy, poverty, hunger and disease,
The Trilateral Commission and Council on Foreign Relations comprising oligarchy, plutocrats, political dynasties and imperial remnants dictating foreign policy or,
The self-created hierarchy such as P5 + 1 – permanent members of the United Nations Security Council holding veto power for territorial annexations and unfettered access to natural resources – The combined forces leaving behind misery, melancholy and mayhem since time immemorial could not be the fairest in the world when they rank the worst of all parallel to none.
Following the article on Ukraine – One Nation, Independent and Indivisible with Liberty And Justice for all – published on the website i.e. www.padminiarhant.com,
The hegemony contemporary leading actor Russia was prompted to expedite Crimean seizure from Ukraine.
Accordingly, the Russian authorities influenced Crimean officials to appoint new pro-Russian Premier Sergei Aksyonov exerting authority over security, political and economic structure in the region in utter disregard for Ukraine constitution while proudly claiming the action in concurrence with Russian Federation Constitution.
The swift transition of Crimea from original semi-autonomous region nonetheless governed by Ukraine constitutional law to independent state to justify hastened referendum and thereafter declared sovereign state of Russian Federation with a treaty signed by Russian authority incorporating Ukraine’s southeastern territory as part of Russia.
Ukraine crisis began with legitimate leadership and government headed by President Viktor Yanukovych declining to sign the Association Agreement with EU in lieu of economic ties with Russia.
The Ukrainian President patriotic stance not only cost the leader’s job but also the country’s sovereignty and territorial integrity with hegemony representatives’ pretentious standoff dramatized to convince impressionable minds and captive audience when in reality the complicity amongst them overshadow the scripted performance.
Russia’s initial reaction to Ukraine unrest was the post Soviet Russia not interested in meddling in Ukraine’s internal affairs and nevertheless got involved explaining the move as protecting Russian assets and interests in Crimea.
Prior to Russian troop deployment around 16,000 in Crimea, the Crimean members in Parliament openly extended support to Ukrainian President Yanukovych urging the deposed government as lawful governing body.
Furthermore, the pro-Russian President Yanukovych was never favored by Russia despite the Ukrainian leader’s commitment to forge trade relations with the neighbor.
Again, the Ukrainian President and family lives being threatened by hegemony organized elements in Kiev, they sought refuge in Russian port city Rostov on don across Crimea.
The Ukrainian leader during the first press conference since violent removal from power expressed that Crimea was governed by Ukraine constitution with Crimean political representation in Ukraine Parliament.
Upon recommendation to reinstate Ukrainian government led by President Viktor Yanukovych to defuse political turmoil in the embattled state, Russian foreign ministry rejected the proposal as not suitable.
The showdown between major powers constituting hegemony is farcical considering preconceived destabilization goals shared among them to split Ukraine to respective participants advantage.
United States and EU installed groups in Kiev to advance economic strategy and Russia in southeastern border taking possession of Crimea reveals coordinated efforts in disintegration process.
Besides Russia’s consistent cooperation with western partners on international issues enumerated in the preceding article on this website titled – Russia is Hegemony Trump Card to Rescue Imminent Imperialism Decline on March 17, 2014,
Russian economic and EU energy interdependency could not be underestimated and there is recognition on both sides in this context. Accordingly any tensions between them are suggestive of misguidance spreading confusion.
Russia having cited Kosovo independence from Serbia in 2009 as justification for development in Crimea raise poignant question about Russia’s future plans in the Mediterranean given Russian naval base in Syria’s second largest coastal city Tartous.
Would Russia arguably as hegemony’s prominent nuclear power then quote Crimea in territorial expansion in Tartous, Syria?
Russian President Vladimir Putin delivered televised speech to the nation subsequent to signing treaty in incorporating Crimea.
The excerpts of the speech are presented for relevance and clarification.
“Our Western partners headed by the United States prefer not to be guided by international law in their practical policies, but by the rule of the gun.”
“They have come to believe in their exceptionalism and their sense of being the chosen ones. That they can decide the destinies of the world, that it is only them who can be right,” the Russian President said.
The subliminal message not directed at the United States but targets the challenger to Hegemony and Imperialism.
Appropriately they are addressed for clarity to dispel myths on the divine humanitarian mission.
The reference ‘international law’ is euphemism for Hegemony long aspired – New World Order i.e. surrender of republic and sovereignty to One World Government regardless of the premise and policy proved counterproductive not to mention the indoctrination resulting in fait accompli.
Likewise the connotation ‘the rule of the gun’ is aptly applicable to hegemony using violence as means evident in UNSC resolutions with Russia voting for military aggression against weak and vulnerable nations in Africa viz. Mali and Central African Republic in recent memory.
Russia’s eminent contribution Kalashnikov – widely known as AK 47 and atomic bomb invention by Hungarian physicist Leo Szilard in London along with counterparts in 1933 has claimed innocent lives worldwide and continues to endanger lives on earth.
Contrarily the accused otherwise the resistance force dedication to peace and non-violence as the only alternative to warfare and terrorism throughout engagement in humanitarian service would remain the defiant truth now and beyond.
As for insinuations on ‘exceptionalism and sense of being the chosen ones to decide the destinies of the world and that it is only them who can be right’ is perhaps the mirror reflection of the source in denial of self-image and legacy.
Moreover the privilege could not be conferred on anyone except those verifiably as Imperialists and UNSC permanent members i.e. P5 + 1 barring others from membership to exclusive club repeatedly exercise veto and nuclear option in addition to economic sanctions to subjugate nations seeking freedom from oppression or foreign invasion.
Russia’s failure to avert three bombings aimed at public transportation every occasion in October and December 2013 in Volgograd is tragic for the victims and survivors in the safety compromise affecting Russian Bear reputation.
In conclusion, the leopard changing spots would not make the wild specie any different especially with predominant predator instincts surfacing whenever possible to satisfy insatiable appetite.
Hegemony desperate measures expedite feudal system decline conforming to virtues triumph over vices in the establishment of peace and progress.
Wishing the world liberation from destructive rule and empires espousing dominance.
Peace to all!
Thank you.

Russia – Hegemony Trump Card To Rescue Imminent Imperialism Decline
March 17, 2014
By Padmini Arhant
(The Article Presented with Addendum in blue highlight).
The Syndicate doctrine is two sides of the coin – heads and tails designed to favor the shadow power.
The premise prominent in political campaign viz. United States and similar proxy governance worldwide to suit hegemony agenda.
Hegemony latest tactic involves pseudo opposition to Washington primarily to convince the world as challenger to status quo.
However in reality the cooperation between major powers – Washington and Moscow in this context are locked steps on all major issues invariably leading to anchored goals for strategic dominance.
Since Russian President Vladimir Putin assumed formal position as head of the Russian Federation following election in 2012, the Russian authority decisions on international crises arguably met hegemony satisfaction.
They are enumerated according to global events in recent memory.
1. North Korea – UNSC Resolution imposed economic sanctions against North Korea. The five permanent members viz. United States, Britain, France, Russia and China unanimously voted to exacerbate North Korean population suffering in the Korean peninsula.
2. Mali – UNSC Resolution on France invasion of the West African nation, Mali – Again all members along with EU approved military aggression and Moscow providing logistic support in the operation.
3. Central African Republic – UNSC Resolution on France troop deployment in Central African Republic – Russia and counterparts authorized Resolution 2127 mandating military intervention.
4. Syria – Russia honoring EU, United States and allies arms embargo on Syria withheld prepaid military consignment especially S-300 despite for exclusive defensive purpose.
The measure consequently facilitated more than two Israeli air strikes laden with nuclear component targeting Syrian scientific and research center as well as other interests near and around the capital, Damascus in 2013 notwithstanding many casualties and infrastructure destruction.
5. Syria – Moscow initiated agreement with Washington yielded Israel, United States and Saudi Arabia aspired chemical weapons disarmament from Syria without multilateral enforcement on real perpetrators i.e. the sponsors of terrorism and five chemical attacks in the war torn nation.
6. Iran – Russia in compliance with Untied States and Israel’s objection indefinitely postponed S-400 delivery to Iran regardless of the latter advance payment on the deal.
7. Russia – On 20 December 2013, Russian President Vladimir Putin pardoned oil tycoon Mikhail Khodorkovsky at EU and Israel’s behest. The oligarch held on corruption charges visited Israel soon after release from prison to reconnect with business associates from the previously owned oil corporation Yukos for revival.

Ukraine – Crimea Secession And Western De facto Representation in Kiev Is Opportunism
March 15, 2014
By Padmini Arhant
The current developments in Ukraine emanating from EU response to President Viktor Yanukovych decision to decline the Association Agreement with EU and subsequently,
United States as well as EU backed coup against democratically elected government has unraveled events much to sponsors dismay and Ukrainians despair.
EU and United States organized anti-government protests since November 2013 up until removal of President Yanukovych in late February 2014 not only led to deaths and destruction of a sovereign nation but also facilitated extremism.
The unsavory emergence forging alliance with apparently pro-Nazi and fascists elements confirmed to be behind sniper and grenade attacks against police and protesters during demonstration.
The interim representatives in Kiev having driven elected members in Ukraine Parliament and President Yanukovych administration using threats and violence do not have any recognition among Ukrainians and global society.
Aside from not respecting sovereignty, the national constitution governing democratic principles seriously violated in this instance.
Such representation tantamount to proxy rule benefitting forces with vested interests leaving Ukraine citizens beguiled of political and economic freedom.
The members in position of authority at present as opposition groups earlier defaulted in the EU brokered agreement with President Viktor Yanukovych and escalated tensions in public square to deflect attention from real motives to derail democracy in Ukraine.
Despite certain political leaderships in the United States and EU support to the illegitimate and extraneous government in Kiev,
The lack of credibility being the defining character amongst prevalent EU and United States de facto arguably disqualifies them from the self-proclaimed title as governing body in Kiev.
Hence the hired political faction in Kiev to implement EU and United States agenda do not possess electoral mandate or consent to sign any deal with EU or United States and attempts in this regard would further clarify allegiance to foreign sources at Ukraine’s detriment constituting treasonous act.
Not to mention the subjugation of population as a result from EC, ECB and IMF viz. the Troika financial offers designed for generational indebtedness replicating EU states experience with no sign of recovery.
The viable solution to burgeoning crises in Ukraine is to reinstate President Viktor Yanukovych government to restore law and order along with stability eliminating security concerns across the country that has prompted Crimea secession process.
Crimea in the southeastern region of Ukraine initially set up as semi-autonomous territory nonetheless binding with Ukraine constitution recently declared independence through haste political overhaul electing pro Russian premier Sergei Aksyonov and Parliament motion to hold referendum on joining the Russian Federation.
Crimea also hosting Russian naval fleet in Black Sea with treaty allowing the guest troops presence not exceeding 25,000 utilized with Russian deployment in the range of 16,000 presumably to defend Russian assets and crew including residents in the Crimean peninsula claiming Russian lineage.
The situation in Crimea unequivocally attributed to unrest in Kiev and undemocratic dismissal of President Yanukovych government sparking widespread clashes in the sensitive areas of Crimea and eastern city Donetsk.
Russia’s overture welcoming Crimean Parliamentary approval on plebiscite for union with former alluding to the latter right to exercise discretion as independent state could provide opportunity for the eastern region in Ukraine to follow suit setting precedence in deserting Ukraine amid chaos and confusion inevitably affecting neighbors peaceful existence.
Instead of subscribing to frantic efforts on Crimea, Russian and Crimean leadership skills could perhaps serve positively upon pursuing constructive course to revive Ukraine’s democracy under siege and perseverance in restoring political legitimacy via President Viktor Yanukovych headed government.
Besides slighting Ukraine’s constitutionality in Crimea’s transition, the expedited vote on amalgamation with Russia lay overcast on Russian President Vladimir Putin assurance to the world at the press conference in honoring Ukraine’s territorial integrity.
The latest measures in Crimea generate unnecessary perception of Russian influence to modify geopolitical landscape although the trendsetters in Kiev share responsibility for the quagmire.
In the ongoing political upheaval, Ukrainians are expected to pay unaffordable price with major powers evidently anchored on respective goals in defiance of Ukraine as the republic.
Crimea moving forward with politically motivated action to secede from Ukraine is counterproductive enabling pretexts for more turbulence in the otherwise preventable turmoil.
The safe passage for Ukraine is solidarity in rejecting status quo in Kiev and invite President Viktor Yanukovych to resume power fulfilling complete term in office required to address issues confronting the embattled nation.
Accordingly Crimea abandoning separatist plan to merge with Russia and contributing to Ukraine’s liberty from external intervention would thwart uncertainties surrounding Ukraine and entire region.
Again prioritizing Crimean aspirations over pervasive progress and tranquility may not guarantee desirable outcome.
Crimea and Kiev are integral part of Ukraine.
The foreign interference with unelected authorities in Kiev and simultaneously Crimean swift relocation within Russian confines exacerbate Ukraine’s vulnerability to opportunism.
Hopefully Ukrainian discernment and resolve to free Ukraine from foreign intrusion would prevail in Kiev, Crimea and the rest of the nation.
Best Wishes to people in Ukraine in protecting their homeland from partition and vassal statehood.
Peace to Ukraine!
Peace to all!
Thank you.
