North Korea – United States Provocation Against DPRK is Counterproductive
March 9, 2013
By Padmini Arhant
Korea colonized earlier by Japan until twentieth century endured typical colonial oppression.
Subsequently neo colonial power United States under the newly formed United Nations following World War II launched aggression against sovereign Korea in June 1950 and after three years the warring factions declared truce with Korea split into North and South according to hegemony agenda.
South Korea since then occupied with United States military base under the pretext of providing protection from North Korea.
United States offensive strategy conducting naval drills supposedly training South Korean forces for six decades intensified presence in Korean Peninsula and more so in the past three years with nuclear submarine on Yellow sea posing threats not only to North Korea but entire region likened to Persian Gulf incursion.
Washington’s antagonism towards North Korea from the beginning prompted Pyongyang to pursue nuclear aspirations and Korean leadership under former Premier Kim Jong Il developed nuclear capability with assistance from nuclear neighbors China and Pakistan in the Far East.
North Korea has been imposed with economic sanctions over decades for becoming a nuclear state.
In contrast United States has 5100 nuclear warheads and,
UNSC strongest ally Israel in possession of at least 200 – 500 nuclear arsenals enabled by U.S. and Britain with no formal acknowledgment to this effect and shielded from being listed as nuclear nation.
Again UN permanent security members i.e. P5 +1 United States, Britain, France, Russia, China and Germany are nuclear powers either overtly or covertly like Germany being a prominent NATO and leading EU member with nuclear access yet none of them have been subjected to International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspections and,
United States, Israel and others declined to be signatory to Non Proliferation Treaty (NPT) while conducting nuclear testing at their own convenience.
In the backdrop of consistent violations with respect to ballistic missiles and sub-nuclear testing by all nuclear states,
The P5 + 1 and other nuclear members in second tier security council unanimous consensus imposing sanctions against North Korea or any other country is claiming entitlement to nuclear weapons by them and highlight discriminatory precedence.
North Korea nuclear status is enforced upon the South Asian nation by United States and former imperial power Japan coherence using South Korea as pawn to militarize Asia Pacific.
With Japan and South Korea hosting U.S. military bases accompanied by rigorous exercise flaunting superpower prowess is provocative and an impetus to target nation North Korea to enhance defense mechanism in semblance with Iran in Middle East.
Furthermore, the illegal and immoral economic warfare waged by United States and allies misusing UNSC appropriately qualify for war crimes considering genocide committed in this regard.
The trade embargo predominantly hurt respective population being the victims in the arbitrary condemnation by those in defiance of the law applicable to all – apparently only in theory and not necessarily in practice.
UNSC sanctions against North Korea has debilitated economy with acute food shortage and basic necessities resulting in scores of deaths due to starvation and people suffering further exacerbated in United States militarism forcing North Korean divestments in defense build up rather than economic development.
Ironically, the incumbent ‘democrat’ administration under Nobel Peace Prize winning Presidency has rejected too many opportunities to reverse the predecessor trend against North Korea and likewise sponsoring terrorism in Syria.
In fact the overture from North Korean late leader Kim Jong Il for direct talks and negotiations including DPRK complete nuclear disarmament proposal conveyed through former U.S. President Jimmy Carter in 2010 was slighted rather than moving forward with constructive dialogue in pursuit of peaceful settlement.
North Korea requests for engagement with United States several times before to resolve the unnecessary standoff and merciless sanctions liberally used by UNSC dictating unreasonable terms and conditions on nations considered obstacle to hegemonic quest and perpetual warfare boosting arms industry, oil and banking cartels profiteering at the vast majority devastation.
Contrarily, the Obama administration has expanded militarization in Asia Pacific with President Barack Obama emphasizing United States determination to proliferate exponentially in Asia compared with Middle East in deterrence to emerging powers in the specific domain.
Another interesting factor being China with ongoing territorial disputes on land and international waters in South China Sea with Japan, India, Vietnam and Philippines is the co-sponsor with United States in the latest round of sanctions against North Korea.
China, Russia and western powers denounced North Korea’s third nuclear testing stating the imminent danger to international community although individually and collectively every one of them bear equal responsibility in this context.
Nuclear disarmament regardless of economic, military and political stature is no longer an option but a necessity for global peace and security.
The immediate resolution to escalating tension between North Korea and United States is to call off computer simulated drill titled Key Resolve involving around 10,000 American troops along with South Korean armed personnel scheduled to carry on aviation, land and marine regimen on March 11 to April 2013.
South Korea willingness to subjugation with foreign troops on national soil despite citizens experiencing sexual assault and violence from U.S. servicemen meant to safeguard South Korean rights attacking the same evidently eclipse the concept of democracy.
The U.S. violations in South Korea are no different from the abuse happening with Japanese residents at frequent intervals in Okinawa, only to be ignored by national leaderships in South Korea and Japan.
Similarly, Afghanistan is much worse in every respect with United States and International Special Armed Forces (ISAF) violence against local Afghans and their lives rendered expendable.
Inviting foreign forces for occupation on homeland eliminates sovereignty and over a certain period evolves into slavery with reciprocation of host guest relation identified as imperialistic trait. – Poignant lesson unheeded by Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan with Patriot Missile deployment debacle in Turkey.
South Korea and Japan freedom mortgaged for false sense of security with United States military camp that has only heightened tensions nuclearizing North Korea and allowing China to increase nuclear and defense potential.
United States and western illegal invasion and occupation of foreign land whether by conquest or consent is the fundamental cause for world unrest and turmoil.
South Korea’s rhetoric towards North Korea and the latter response to unjustified inhumane financial and trade restrictions routinely misused by the west and the rest at UNSC compounds the otherwise resolvable matter.
The clear and concise solution to this unwanted crises could be easily thwarted with reunification of North and South Korea.
Imperialism could not survive let alone thrive in the absence of polarization with civilians paying the highest price in the divided territory.
The leaderships and segments facilitating foreign exertion of authority in sovereign internal affairs flagrantly betray their nation and electorate trust characterized as treasonous act.
Lifting all sanctions against North Korea combined with United States troop withdrawal from Korean Peninsula is the immediate remedy as well as requirement paving way for North and South peaceful union reviving Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of Korea (CPRK) agreements and non-aggression pact signed between North and South to prevent military clashes by accident or volition.
North Korea frustration to United States provocation is well founded and DPRK reaction promoting CPRK peace treaty with South leaderships and populace would be potent to negate foreign power negative influence on South Korean government.
Simultaneously, the recently elected South Korean President Park Geun Hye outreach to North Korea adopting diplomatic course and abandoning western doctrine aimed at perpetual standoff for self-interest would be positive and conform to President Park’s message on campaign trail to persevere peace over violence against North Korea.
South Korea independence from foreign rule prevailing under United States military contingency threatening peace and progress not to mention citizens’ safety compromised in the series of incidents is paramount for Korea and regional stability.
Reiterating the fact that South Korea return to original existence in amalgamation with North Korea maximizing outcome from the synergies in terms of North military assets and South economic growth aided by North Korean substantial labor force would be pervasively beneficial.
Meanwhile, North Korea political adjustments delineating military from civilian governance towards constitutional based republican democratic system would ease lingering hostility and perhaps be appealing to South Korea in unification goal.
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un introducing transparency with prudent political and economic restructuring focused on civil rights and liberty in conjunction with local productivity and self-sufficiency to overcome UNSC unethical and biased actions would yield desirable effects and prospective when forging alliance within and outside Asia.
North and South Korea recognition of fine attributes and shortcomings with mutual understanding and cooperation premised on peaceful and pragmatic approach is essential to reunite divided families and the nations together sharing common values and cultural heritage.
United States interference to destabilize nations is counterproductive and instead time and resource investments in addressing domestic issues would be wise as an urgent priority now and in the long run.
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and South Korean President Park Geun Hye exercising restraints and rationality to preside over decision-making process is critical for national sovereignty and re-establishment of viable Democratic Republic of Korea.
Solidarity is key to deal with challenges emanating from familiar and foreign source.
Nuclear confrontation would be catastrophic for the world and best averted with restoration of communication channel especially the hot line in the demilitarized zone.
All sides are urged to observe sober interaction not saber rattling to defuse wanton altercation.
Wishing successful convergence of North and South Korea as a proud and free nation devoid of imperialistic and militaristic surrounding with a progressive, promising present and future.
Peace to all!
Thank you.

Palestine – Independence and Statehood Recognition
March 7, 2013
By Padmini Arhant
Since the illegal declaration of the state of Israel in 1948 on Palestine depriving the natives their homeland and rendering them refugees,
Israel returned favor to Palestinians with brutality, oppression, genocide and dehumanization over six decades leaving them in perennial despair.
The atrocities include summary executions in the latest crime against Palestinians in West Bank, Palestine state capital Al-Quds i.e. East Jerusalem and Gaza.
Notwithstanding Israel assassination of Hamas General plus another Military High Command prior to second military aggression on Gaza in December 2012 – a ritual carried out every four years alongside unilateral crippling economic blockade imposed on the residents from 2007 until now.
Israel as Palestine’s colonizer is also responsible for land grab through unlawful settlements all over Palestinian territories with armed settlers imported from Eastern Europe and Russia…forcibly evict indigenous Arab population from these areas to build Zionist colony.
Additionally, Palestine is a beleaguered state with United States financed Israeli military deployment – a tradition maintained by U.S. administrations regardless of political representation i.e. Republican or Democrat demonstrated in the latest move providing financial assistance apparently increased from previous $3 billion to $3.1 billion alongside $70 million military aid to Israel for anti-missile defense program enhancing Israeli aggression against Palestinian people.
Ironically the U.S. generosity to Israel extended at American citizens expense with nearly 50 millions on food stamps, economy in recession, stunted job growth, massive unemployment among African Americans and other demography regularly not projected in the statistics to shield facts from public purview.
Furthermore, the sequestration i.e. automatic spending cuts effective on March 1, 2013 maneuvered to prevent impact on U.S. monetary flow to Israel displaying Washington leaderships appeasement and compliance to Tel Aviv via Zionist lobby especially now with vast majority of Americans subjected to austerity.
The recent news splash on President Barack Obama setting timetable with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for troop withdrawal from West Bank by 2014 preceding the forthcoming trip to Israel while facilitating Tel Aviv militarization of occupied Palestinian land through multi billion dollars charity clarifies usual contradictory dual track methodology exploiting Palestinian cause for other agenda such as Iran.
Besides actions are verifiable whereas statements serve as political rhetoric and,
In this context Obama administration proactive measure with U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry consistent efforts reminding Congress to protect Washington cash delivery to Tel Aviv secured amid claiming budget talks concerning U.S. economy failed due to congressional disagreement with White House on the core national issue.
Moreover the same tactics applied in the past three years with public statements on Palestinian Statehood although behind the scenes operation and deal reflected blatant support for Israeli occupation.
Most importantly, United States administration real position on Palestinian liberation revealed in consecutive vetoes at UNSC up until now.
The incumbent U.S. administration vehemently opposed Palestinian Statehood request at UN General Assembly in 2010 and subsequently vetoed settlement expansion freeze in 2011 successfully thwarting UNSC decisive action confirming well founded facts on UN role as unreliable entity in resolving international crises.
Israeli regime terror in the occupied territories has escalated with United States commitment to derail UN resolutions unlike U.S. enthusiastic participation imposing economic sanctions against North Korea, Iran, Syria and Cuba…the nations categorized as western adversaries in the hegemony manipulated system.
The bizarre and convoluted practice abusing UNSC privileged status selectively targets nations leading to population genocide.
Meanwhile, Israel colonization and persecution including killings of Palestinians never subjected to trade embargo contrarily bolstered with ammunition flurry and innovative technology from United States as witnessed in the past week budget allocation.
UN and UNSC is a convenient access for western hypocrisy delegitimizing the so-called international organization function with imperialists dominance as permanent members wielding power even amongst second tier fifteen member council that is increasingly proved counterproductive for world peace.
Zionist ideology professed in evading Palestinian sovereignty and Israeli forces systemic abuse of young children and youth held under administration detention policy denying these victims any rights resulting in a detainee death and many on hunger strike over several months in jail is yet another western complicity to crimes against humanity.
Within Israeli society, the government and political factions treatment of African nationals like the immigrants from Ethiopia, Eritrea and Sudan (Darfur) comparable to apartheid considering the female members of these groups are reportedly interjected with infertility drug to prohibit race proliferation ignoring serious health repercussion already on the rise.
Despite Israel’s appalling track record, the United States led UNSC always in the forefront to punish nations standing up to belligerent west and coalition.
The sovereign nations resistance to destructive doctrine responsible for world status quo is arguably the bone of contention.
UNSC P5 +1 and fifteen member council has been a miserable failure in deterrence to Israel’s defiance on Palestine, Syrian conflict with Israeli air strike on scientific research center producing civilian casualties as well as many injured other than numerous events involving terrorism that leads to Israel.
Zionists provocative expansionism in Palestinian territories and prejudice against Arabs and African migrants in Israel has reached crescendo in terms of gross human rights violation.
Israel refusal to peace treaty for two state solutions premised on pre 1967 borders encompassing all relevant issues justify re-creation of Palestine with deadline on colonizer exit plan.
Palestine independence from Zionist rule solemnized restoring sovereignty for the Arab nation voiding Israel’s demarcation.
Israel survival is entirely dependent upon the acknowledgment of peace offer without preconditions beginning immediately and not in 2014 to save lives and alleviate Palestinian plight languishing in Israeli prison and barricaded Palestinian land.
Any procrastination and avoidance in the re-establishment of Palestinian state would have irreversible consequences for Israel, United States and others facing decline with the dawn of new era imminent per cosmic determination.
Israeli troop removal from West Bank, Al-Quds viz. East Jerusalem not barring settlers and activities over and above lifting illegal sanctions against residents in Gaza starting now in March 2013 allowing the process to complete in the next six months is the only option that could guarantee Israel’s economic and political future.
Again drastic response to challenge the proposal would be an invitation to self-disaster.
Palestinian leaderships viz. Fatah and Hamas in solidarity with respective citizens on both sides preparation for declaration of Palestinian independence from colonialism are necessary to expedite inauguration of Palestine Republic.
Submission to totalitarianism encourage violence and injustice experienced by Palestinians in sixty-five years and the moment to end tyranny has arrived calling for departure from occupied Palestine.
Non Aligned Movement (NAM) proceeding with recognition of Palestinian sovereignty and independent status would exemplify international pledge to global freedom, harmony and security.
Best Wishes to Palestinian citizens and leaderships in the rebirth of Palestine bringing the struggles to termination.
Peace to all!
Thank you.

Venezuela – President Hugo Chavez Legacy Immortalized with People Power
March 5, 2013
BY Padmini Arhant
Heartfelt Condolences offered to bereaved family and Venezuelan Republic on the demise of veteran populist leader and patriot President Hugo Chavez now in eternal peace.
President Hugo Chavez will continue to remain the soul of the people in spirit touching many hearts and minds especially the poor and marginalized in society.
The South American leader was the beacon of hope for not only the citizens in his homeland that he cherished and defended against predators ever fixated on Venezuela’s resources but also thwarted several coup d’état and assassination attempts since election to office.
President Hugo Chavez commitment to vast majority improving the lives of many with housing, health care, education and job security is an exemplary model in contemporary politics severely lacking in integrity, initiatives and political will to address public needs and national problems in every frontier.
In the era of self-interest dominance in public and private sphere, President Hugo Chavez was indeed the charismatic pragmatist for believing in republic empowerment through income distribution rather than wealth concentration amongst superficialists in society.
Venezuela has experienced upheavals and President Hugo Chavez led the nation from turmoil towards economic development and progress.
The current leaderships under Vice President Nicolas Maduro and military along with entire population in Venezuela share awesome responsibility in continuing President Hugo Chavez tradition to protect national endowments and security from foreign or local invasion in the world confronted with hostility and turbulence.
Venezuela best tribute to President Hugo Chavez would be to preserve the Bolivarian Revolution pioneered by the leader promoting economic status for vast majority in the country later emulated in other parts of Latin America.
Venezuela has navigated high seas under President Hugo Chavez admirable leadership and the legacy immortalized with people power ever remaining vigilant and unrelenting to any predictable or ambush political destabilization.
Solidarity with common pledge to national interest transcending political, economic and social barriers would safeguard Venezuela regardless of challenges ahead.
With prayers for the departed leader to rest in tranquility while the aura shielding the nation and people from potential harm at present and in the future,
Wishing Venezuela continuous political stability and pervasive economic prosperity commemorating their favorite leader President Hugo Chavez throughout history as the champion of social cause and justice.
Peace to all!
Thank you.

February 23, 2013
By Padmini Arhant
The island nation, Bahrain continues to unleash terror against peaceful protesters that has resulted in the death of twenty year old Mahmoud Issa al-Jaziri on February 14, 2013.
Reportedly there were two more deaths – 16 year old Hussein al-Jaziri on February 14,2013 and 35 year old Aminah al-Sayyed Mahdi died of toxic tear gas inhalation.
These young victims succumbed to al-khalifa tyranny exerted with full coordination and support from Saudi and western regimes for the past two years to suppress uprising in the nation hosting United States Fifth Naval Fleet to maintain regional dominance on Israel’s behalf.
While the western powers viz. the United States, England, France, Germany, Netherlands and Denmark are directly involved in Syrian conflict through Patriot missiles deployment as well as sponsoring proxy wars via terrorism with summary executions of innocent civilians especially children, women and other members demanding regime change of popular government in Syria,
They authorize atrocities and oppression by their allies in Bahrain, Qatar, UAE, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Egypt, Tunisia, Jordan and Turkey with military aid and ammunition supply used against unarmed citizens in the political struggle.
Bahraini dictatorship has even resorted to gerrymandering marginalizing Shia majority in the nation with huge influx of foreign nationals displaying disdain for native population.
The nation is long overdue for democratic reform with immediate dissolution of dynasty and kingdoms in the twenty first century and has survived thus far due to Britain – the monarchy in particular along with United States and Israel’s hegemonic goal.
These western purveyors of ‘democracy’ having deprived civil rights to citizens in respective domains are in the forefront insisting Syria should accept terrorist opposition as legitimate government and expect people throughout Middle East and elsewhere to recognize puppet regimes in government.
Nonetheless, martyrdoms in Bahrain and nations fighting against criminal hegemony will not be in vain for these invaders wanton belligerence is self-destructive evident in the desperate tactics against defenseless target.
The western powers instigation of violence across the globe is a recipe for disaster to United States, Canada,EU, Israel and non-western allies reflective in the looming economic depression primarily emanating from leaderships’ misplaced priority.
Instead of expending resources and focus on addressing national issues, the western interference to destabilize sovereign states like Syria, Iraq, Pakistan and Mali…having transformed Libya into terror haven for recolonizing Africa and other regions is irrationality overriding intelligence.
Bahraini government like their counterparts in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Jordan, Egypt, Yemen, Tunisia, UAE, Kuwait and Turkey not conforming to civilized society standards lack credibility considering systemic abuse of power and deserves regime change.
The replacement of these governments not barring their western mentors since the entire operation carried out on foreign oversight is imminent and could no longer be stalled in accordance with scientific and natural law i.e. anything reaching optimum inevitably break away from the source.
Bahraini Emir Hamad Bin Isa al-Kalifa and family indulgence in torture and persecution witnessed in violent crack down of citizens denying political freedom and peaceful assembly calls for removal of despotism allowing Republic rule.
Prolonging authoritarianism in delusional belief to prevail when Emir al-khalifa and cohorts are responsible for citizens bloodshed is precipitating perpetrators decline.
Hence, it is incumbent upon Bahrain Emir Hamad Bin Isa al-Kalifa, Saudi kingdom, al-Thani of Qatar, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Jordan King Abdullah and Egypt President Mahmoud Morsi… to step down from power preventing further loss of lives and alleviate individual repercussions ahead.
Sincere condolences offered to victims’ families and survivors of hegemony onslaught throughout Middle East and Africa.
People power and resistance movement will triumph in dismantling hegemony.
Republic democracy dawning on nations confronted with illegal invasion and occupation to be reality in the near future.
Peace to all!
Thank you.

Syria – U.S. Zionist, Wahhabi and Salafi Terrorism Expedite Sponsors Extinction
February 21, 2013
By Padmini Arhant
The latest cowardly car bomb explosion orchestrated by United States, Israel, Saudi, Qatar, Turkey and other western powers further exemplify terrorism as modus operandi to prolong conflict.
Such atrocities and barbarism claiming civilian lives with majority being children at least twenty and more killed in the explosion detonated in residential area clarifies the so-called leaderships character in the western and Gulf region.
There is no doubt that these are desperate times seeking desperate killings with civilian massacre involving children in particular reflective of satanic activity.
Nonetheless the martyrdom by the innocents will not be in vain since these souls would return to liberated and free Syria as new spirit like blooming flowers in spring.
Meanwhile the perpetrators and everyone around them will perish securing excruciating experience over many lives until repentance for sins committed in this life.
Syrian leaderships and army are urged to seal borders i.e. land, air and sea for massive clean up operation to flush out terror elements with oversight on aerial and ground attacks experienced in Syrian soil thus far.
Unless access to Syrian territory is denied with stringent military deployment in addition to tighter control over ammunition influx, terrorism would persist for those behind the heinous crime against Syria are possessed with evil aspirations much to their demise.
Again sponsors of terrorism in their delusional belief aiming to prevail causing death and destruction expedite self-extinction.
Instead of diverting focus and dwindling western resources divestments on the respective economy facing collapse not to mention the dire economic status resulting in European citizens’ tragic self-immolation and suicides,
The United States and coalition wanton indulgence to appease hegemony in their diabolical agenda against Syria evidently counterproductive for such ambition is doomed never to come into fruition.
Syrian authority and army promoting civic duty in civilian vigilance and neighborhood watch for timely reporting on nefarious groups infiltration and movements with rewards would be extremely useful in foiling terror plots in Damascus and across the country.
Syria would not succumb to foreign onslaught for the terror masterminds are on the tailspin precipitating individual and collective decline.
Syrian society would overcome these challenges and adversity with participation by every member in driving the invaders from their homeland into oblivion.
Solidarity and unity transcending all differences amongst people and political factions in Syria is critical in defending national sovereignty, territorial integrity and rights to self-determination for a promising future.
Sincere condolences offered to all victims families remembering them and the wounded in thoughts and prayers for speedy recovery from pain and suffering soon to dissipate strengthening Syrian resolve now and beyond.
Wishing Syrian army, leaderships and people triumph in trials and tribulations confronting the resilient nation.
Peace to all!
Thank you.

South America – Ecuador Presidential Election 2013
February 20, 2013
By Padmini Arhant
Congratulations! To President Rafael Correa on re-election to third term and Vice President Jorge Glass to serve South American nation Ecuador.
Ecuador people power once again aptly demonstrated in the electoral outcome.
Despite constant threats underestimating Ecuadorians resilience, the full frontal U.S. coup d’état against President Rafael Correa government successfully thwarted in 2010 with Republic rising to the occasion in defiance of Washington policy towards Latin America perceived as easy targets for political destabilization.
Ecuador is an exemplary model in the region along with Venezuela and Bolivia – the three major contentions for United States and western powers due to these South American nations’ commitment to their people and national interest unlike the latter allegiance to hegemony.
Ecuador has emerged from turbulent past into steady and stable democracy worthy of emulation considering republic governance and strong leadership prioritizing citizens’ requirements reflective in multilateral development across the country.
Whenever political representation of people rather than campaign financiers and special interests i.e. the shadow powers like in the United States assumes responsibility and diligently engage in addressing national issues, progress is imminent with ability to overcome challenges at any time.
Ecuador in this regard exemplify through democratic process and political power determination to serve people alleviating suffering with better living standards alongside strategies to maintain and improve economic conditions for all in the state.
Upon consistency and regular monitoring with appropriate checks and balances on economy including political situation notwithstanding attention to social and environmental demands would guarantee stability and sustainable growth for Ecuador.
As long as people power remains the authority protecting their rights to self-determination, no overt or covert foreign intervention from within or outside could undermine national sovereignty and territorial integrity as admirably displayed in 2010 with intense resistance from mainstream population in Ecuador.
Continuation on constructive path would indeed deliver greater prospects for Ecuador in the new term under President Rafael Correa and Vice President Jorge Glass.
Wishing the people and leaderships in Ecuador lasting peace and prosperity with a promising future.
Peace to all!
Thank you.

United States – State of the Union Address 2013
February 12, 2013
By Padmini Arhant
Warm Greetings to honorable members representing the House and the Senate of the United States Congress, esteemed judiciary members, distinguished United States Military High Command, fellow Americans and citizens around the world.
United States is confronted with great many challenges in all frontiers predominantly due to erroneous decisions and misled policies evidently detrimental to economic growth, national progress and global security.
The domestic economy revival is faced with lack of responsibility sharing amongst key sectors in Wall Street viz. finance and banking institutions imposed liquidity freeze restricting cash flow to small and medium sized businesses as well as qualified home buyers despite them meeting rigid criteria.
These shortcomings arguably impact jobs, consumer spending and housing market respectively while other industries subdued participation or abstinence with capital flight towards overseas investments benefitting major shareholders and top management at American workers expense contribute to status quo.
Corporations utilizing subsidies and tax incentives are yet to demonstrate commitment on job retention and creation that could resurrect manufacturing industry, research and development in conjunction with economic stimulus through investments that are critical for recovery.
Regarding contentious fiscal crisis, deficit spending and sovereign debt – the solution remains with republic reclaiming rights over money supply and monetary policy via congress contrary to existing system under private entities control i.e. the Federal Reserve management in the absence of oversight and accountability.
Wall Street compliance to regulations made effective with consequences for violation pertinent to avert past and present problems posing impediments to necessary economic surge.
Tax reforms with prudent measures alongside austerity directed at extravagant military expenditure instead of targeting essential programs such as Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, education, infrastructure repair and environment…could ease current disproportionate burden on mainstream population.
Furthermore, divestments from military expeditions especially drone strikes notwithstanding illegal invasions and occupations being enormous liability in terms of economic costs and casualties imperative in every respect.
United States departure from violence and military aggression in pursuit of peace and diplomacy beginning with ending Syrian conflict, complete troops withdrawal instead of fractional retreat from Afghanistan and worldwide is paramount for credibility as a reliable negotiator and mediator on international matter.
Similarly, United States serious engagement honoring agreements like Geneva Accord on Syria with ceasefire, refraining from sponsoring terrorism and arms supply against a sovereign state, being honest peace broker in Palestinian issue, respecting national sovereignty exemplified in non-interference on foreign internal governance are urgently required for restoring trust and respect in global arena.
Checks and balances in all aspects is the fundamental requirement for functional and meaningful democracy unfortunately undermined with abuse of power, misguidance and external authority.
United States changing course by adopting productive strategies is the only viable option for positive trends in economy.
Besides abandoning destructive goals on global affairs with adaptation to contemporary geopolitical dynamics monumental for survival and world sustenance.
Peace to all!
Thank you.

Egypt – Revolution Non-Violence Political Action For True Liberation
February 1, 2013
By Padmini Arhant
Egypt unrest from continuous foreign intervention in political and military affairs has claimed many civilian lives post Mubarak period and until now.
United States military aid $1.2billion to Egypt to protect strongest ally Israel’s interests in the region at entire Arab population expense through oppression, persecution and poverty is challenged by victims having reached optimal endurance.
The western nominated heads of state and political system under democratization pretext witnessed in Egypt and elsewhere serve U.S., Israel and Gulf repressive regimes alike rather than citizens deprived of life with dignity and liberty over decades due to hegemony intrusion.
Egypt revolution having achieved phenomenal success in removal of hegemony representative former dictatorship President Hosni Mubarak followed by western betrayal pursues true liberation.
The western powers dominance in Middle East for economic pursuits and strategic advantage along with their defiance and vehement opposition to global peace, freedom and security is the fundamental problem confronting Egypt and rest of humanity.
Considering incumbent Presidency and ruling power i.e. Muslim Brotherhood Freedom and Justice party measures on constitution and political representation not reflective of mainstream reality,
The mains street struggle persists seeking positive and desirable change without western or regional influence in the decision making process.
First and foremost, protesters are urged to renounce violence refraining from harming self and others including damages to private and public property.
Secondly, unlike western backed and sponsored current Muslim Brotherhood leadership and opposition viz. IAEA ex-chief Mohammed El Baradei to rein control over Egypt governance,
Solidarity movement from citizens across the spectrum transcending all barriers under genuine leadership of Ayman Abd El Aziz Nour – a political dissident having been imprisoned by previous regime and participated in Tahrir square revolution in the overthrow of predecessor is imperative to demonstrate seriousness in emancipation cause against hegemony.
Subsequently, the decisive, strong and unified opposition constituting Egypt nationals and natives engagement in dialogue with incumbent on peaceful transfer to republic rule comprising new constitution, inclusive political representation barring discrimination and prejudice against minority and marginalized groups across country and,
The economic reforms enumerated below for collective benefits overriding selective gains bridging the widening gap between rich and poor are important for meaningful political achievement.
Reiterating multidimensional actions paramount for political stability and economic recovery.
Accordingly, Egypt national defense as well as political structure on republic oversight under democratically elected executive and legislative branch respectively with appropriate checks and balances for transparency and accountability critical prohibiting foreign interference at regional or global level in sovereign rule.
Addressing widespread corruption would promote efficiency and national progress while keeping foreign involvement at bay.
Economic reforms based on national resources, incentivized capital infusion from domestic, regional and/or overseas sources without extreme conditionality compromising sovereignty avoiding euro zone financial terms leading to dire consequences and,
Instead deals involving mutually beneficial bilateral or international trade agreements targeting job oriented growth in public and private sector is prudent for economic revival.
Given economic adversity experienced among significant population, promoting micro lending to small business and skilled work force unable to find gainful employment due to lack of opportunity emulating successful models in other developing nations would improve living standards alleviating suffering and crimes in society.
Maintaining goodwill and peaceful relations with Gaza residents and other neighbors would be fruitful for economy.
Adherence to calmness and proceeding with rationality on common aspirations is necessary for secular democracy, economic and social equality.
Initiatives focused on discourse, legitimate demands and transformation to democratic republic devoid of external power engineered fundamentalism, radicalism and authoritarianism crucial for the dawn of new era.
Wishing Egypt society triumph in peaceful transition to people power realizing revolution dream shared among martyrs and activists on January 25, 2011.
Peace to all!
Thank you.

Syria – Israeli airstrike against Syrian Scientific Research Center is Israel’s Self-Immolation
January 30, 2013
By Padmini Arhant
Israeli regime airstrike against Syria’s scientific research center is Israel’s self-immolation.
According to reports Israeli military intrusion has killed at least two and injured five so far.
The world has tolerated Israel, United States and allies terrorism, atrocities and war crimes for too long due to lack of accountability.
The latest wanton provocation is an imminent disaster to belligerent state showing no respect for life or international law.
History is testimony to the fact that tyranny reaching the height of tolerance expedite perpetrators disastrous fatal ending in the crimes against humanity.
None are invincible and Israel along with United States are no exception in this regard considering brutality committed by them including attacks against their own citizens in American soil on September 11, 2001.
Furthermore, Israel abusing ally position also responsible for United States and EU sinking economy and alarming suicides among United States military personnel fighting Israel’s delusional geopolitical aspirations never to come into fruition.
Israel and any nation regardless of economic and military not barring nuclear status collusion in misadventures would lead to isolation and continuous defiance resulting in losing sovereignty to the point of no return.
Henceforth, Israeli regime and allies war mongering policies and terrorism is best abandoned exercising restraint over catastrophic actions with inevitable ramifications for the state of Israel and other death squad sponsors against Syria.
Israeli raid targeting Syria is yet another desperate times seeking desperate demise that could easily be averted by war architects and so-called think tanks misleading the regime in Tel Aviv and counterparts in Washington.
Neither Israel nor United States and western powers not excluding Saudi, Qatar and Turkey despotic regimes can afford cataclysmic outcome in escalating Syrian conflict.
The consequence of ill-advised terrorist, militancy and mercenaries deployment by them in Syria is already reflected in dying economy and crumbling kingdoms respectively notwithstanding Imperialism imminent collapse relieving the world from tyranny and oppression.
Israeli and United States signaled aggression is counterproductive and proceeding towards unnecessary assault against Syrian interests would be apocalyptic for aggressors underestimating appropriate response.
Syria is a sovereign state and pose threats to none in the region or worldwide unlike Israel, United States and coalition being existential opponents to peace and global security.
Israel survival in Middle East and credibility is largely dependent on terminating violence and repression against Palestinians in the occupied land of Palestine and neighbors viz. Syria, Lebanon, Iran, Iraq, Egypt and Libya.
Most importantly, Israel coming in terms with reality on Palestinian statehood recognition is no longer an option but necessity for own future..
The current military engagement against Syria is reprehensible and more than worthy of condemnation leading to economic, financial, travel and technology sanctions on the state of Israel.
Muslim community across the globe are urged to come together in solidarity and boycott Israel by pledging to Boycott Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) program operative against world’s worst violator of peace and diplomacy.
The global society and Muslim population in particular concrete measure against Israel and collaborators would set precedence in categorical denouncement of superpower syndrome denying innocent victims normal life with dignity.
Please remember inaction to injustice is complicity and synonymous events to be experienced by all for ignoring collective responsibility urgently required to stop presumptuous ambition on global dominance.
Wishing people and leadership in Syria phenomenal success in reverting calamity upon those inflicting damage and destruction.
Dawn of brilliant light to dispel darkness in and around beleaguered Syria and Palestine.
Peace to all!
Thank you.
