Greece – EU Bailout and Austerity

February 8, 2012

By Padmini Arhant

European contagion originated from the Mediterranean country – Greece.

Last year EU monetary assistance with €110 billion tied to untenable terms and obligations rendered the expectations beyond normal scope.

Accordingly, Greece is still struggling to overcome economic woes despite severe austerity and political reshuffle.

The earlier government under Prime Minister George Papandreou efforts to contain the rising debt and,

EU pressure to prioritize deficit trimming through rigorous spending cuts evidently led to GDP contraction by 6%, budget deficit at 10% and 18% unemployment respectively.

In the poor economic growth rate and looming financial liabilities, the creditors conditional offer demanding drastic expense reduction directly affects the core revenue base – consumers and taxpayers.

The attempt on deficit control without income is enforcing mandatory borrowing and,

Massive cuts in vital services cripples the economy to the point of diminishing return.

Tax hikes at any level could exacerbate the burgeoning crisis especially with unprecedented layoffs in both public and private sectors leading to industry workers as well as state employees nationwide strike.

Instead Greece and other economies like Spain, Portugal, Italy and Ireland in euro zone would enormously benefit from job-oriented investments incentivized with tax breaks, guaranteed dividends and equity enhancement to prospective investors.

European Central Bank, IMF and other international banks capital infusion with strict recommendations result in joblessness.

Funds directed towards economic sector for job creation would stimulate economy facilitating income source to meet budget and payments on borrowing.

Short term fund raising through treasury bills and bonds enables survival amid speculations on financial liquidity.

The propositions on Greek’s private debt write off up to 70 percent or more would provide relief in deficit management allowing appropriations towards economic recovery.

However, EU, ECB and IMF loan stipulations on €130 billion or ($171 billion) over and above cuts agreed to about 1.5 percent of GDP by current Prime Minister Lucas Papademos is the repeat of erroneous policy that precipitated economic and financial meltdown across Europe.

IMF’s similar strategy with Romania dependent on credit for state budget commitments contributed to economic downturn due to extreme lending criteria.

Financial institutions and monetary organizations purpose is useful in building economies applying generic and specific models to address individual requirements.

Greek economic surge and financial recuperation could be supported with job restoration via domestic and foreign investments qualifying the G-20 favored globalization concept.

Under same auspice, trade activities promoting exports would revive manufacturing, service and retail industry besides boosting small medium enterprise competitiveness.

Although financial assistance are necessary to restitute state solvency and credit rating,

Finance industry, corporations and wealthy entrepreneurs in Greece could ease the burden on the economy alongside government initiatives to salvage the situation.

The economic resurrection with prudent investments would need modification for a vibrant Market economy.

Market economy – 80% and Government managed programs – 20%

While the bulk of the economy would fall under free market system with oversight to prevent past mistakes responsible for the status quo,

Preserving core social programs under State purview are important for sustenance and they are –

Pensions, retirement savings or Social Security,

National Health Care with options

Veterans Affairs including rehabilitation and care,

State funding for affordable education, scientific research and technology,

Subsidized housing to accommodate non-qualifiers in the regular home finance.

Public services utilizing technology to the maximum potential and,

Environment protection agency to co-ordinate on national and international mandate.

Stringent laws against corruption within society beginning with government bureaucracy, finance sector and across the economic spectrum could yield financial savings.

Tax reform closing tax evasion loopholes and unaccounted funds or hidden assets retrieval from domestic and overseas bank accounts.

Market economy with life saving programs under government ambit could be a profitable and secure synergy complementing one another.

Greece in euro zone has shared gains and losses with euro fluctuation prior to economic recession.

The impact on Greek economy from euro volatility could not be discounted in the European trade.

The perception of Greece membership in euro zone as a liability could be transformed into an asset in reality with appropriate rescue package designed for economic progress than financial bailout.

Unlike the previous aid, EU approval of €130 billion to Greece in the interim could set the frail economy on trail with fiscal, trade and monetary policy restructuring for better economic performance.

With political elections on the horizon, Greece could experience economic productivity through local and foreign investors recognition of lucrative deals available at the present time.

Greek government relentless pursuits in energizing the economy would minimize ambivalence among creditors reversing the trend in capital provision.

EU, ECB, IMF and global finance to Greece on feasible conditions would deliver positive outcome strengthening euro zone and the member states economy.

The distinction between banks bailout and assistance to weak economy is the beneficiary with former was top 1% whereas the latter represented by 99% in the society.

Considering the predicament and inter-dependency in global economy,

Greece and other nations could not be abandoned or challenged with extraordinary conditions detrimental to euro zone and EU economy.

The leaderships and authorities at EU, ECB, IMF, International banks and euro zone are urged to kindly extend financial credit to Greece with a new opportunity to rebuild the economy and organize fiscal house in order.

Prime Minister Lucas Papademos , the opposition leader Antonis Samaras and all other elected members,

Notwithstanding, the economic leaderships in Greece are confronted with daunting tasks ahead.

The consensus in public and national interest would reflect the political will to resolve the persistent financial problem winning republic confidence and creditors trust in the capital market.

Good Luck! To citizens of Greece and the government in prevailing in financial and economic security.

Peace to all!

Thank you.

Germany – Munich Security Conference

February 6, 2012

By Padmini Arhant

The security conference in Munich, Germany hosted speakers on many important issues.

However, the event being related to security – the emphasis on global security is relevant.

The major threat to international security is prolific arms race and nuclear arsenal.

U.S. and NATO nuclear warheads with Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles (ICBM) in Eastern Europe viz. Poland is persisting provocation not to mention over 1000 U.S. military bases around the world having transformed the so-called free world into a beleaguered fortress.

Warsaw Pact replaced with Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) to counteract NATO expansion significantly defines the undercurrent amongst U.S led NATO and Russia in self-defense.

Despite START treaty and other defense programs agreement between the Cold War rivals,

U.S and NATO existing overt and covert operations pose a greater challenge to all sovereign nations around the world.

Conventional and tactical weapons production and exchange is exponentially higher heightening the security risks across the globe.

Energy dependent economies deals with oil rich countries comprising arms exports for oil imports is predominantly responsible for the status quo i.e. ravaging civil wars in Africa, drug wars in Latin America and armed conflicts in democracy seeking Middle East revolutions.

The concept alluding to cause for ammunition supply is evident in Latin America especially Mexico, Colombia, Ecuador, Panama…confronted with narco trade warfare.

Africa – the senseless attacks in the name of religion against Christians in Nigeria or political term dispute in Senegal and cattle raid in the volatile territory near South Sudan resulting in the destruction of lives and livelihood could not have occurred without arms distribution including explosive materials to these regions that would otherwise benefit from economic, educational and basic survival development.

In the Middle East – The fire starters pretense to be fire extinguishers utilizing United Nations Security Council (UNSC) as the tool for economic sanctions and open-end arms embargo exacerbate the prevalent humanitarian crisis in the economic, political, social and environmental aspect.

Notwithstanding the Persian Gulf incursion with extensive troop redeployment from Iraq in Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Qatar,

While, Bahrain established as the official United States naval fleet base for global showdown.

The growing mistrust and apprehension in the violence ridden atmosphere arguably weakens peace efforts due to global dominance ambitions with military might on the rise.

Asia – The reluctance to pursue peace and military exercise with South Korea to intimidate North Korea and,

Military build up in Asia Pacific with allies like Australia on alert in Darwin base,

Not barring tension on South China Sea is a warning to China – one of the two ultimate targets with Russia being the other in the far-flung dragnet for global conquest.

Indian Sub-Continent – Pakistan hit with drone strikes and CIA paramilitary force on the ground alongside continuous U.S unilateral authorization of NATO assaults in North Western Pakistan such as Waziristan is facilitating militancy and fundamentalism now spreading across the Islamic republics in Central Asia.

Previously the Soviet Union controlled Central Asian territories rich in oil and natural gas could not be infiltrated for occupation or fundamentalist activities currently pervasive in the aftermath of U.S. invasion of Afghanistan and Pakistan.

The fundamentalism inculcating Sharia law is channeled via Pakistan and Saudi Arabia into Islamic states in Central Asia – Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, and Turkmenistan…

The religious schools – Madrassas funded by Saudi Arabia to maintain orthodox customs against Islam – the religion of peace and equality per natural creation is an avenue for subjugation in society.

Theological subversions through madrassas in Pakistan or Zionism in Israeli occupied Palestinian West Bank and East Jerusalem contributes to acrimony.

Religion used for malefic intent is sacrilege inevitably affecting the source and instruments in accordance with natural process of reaping what one sows in life.

The irony in post-industrialization era is the decline of tolerance and acceptance with class, creed and gender bias dominant in modern civilization regardless of education, technology and economic advantage.

Social progress measured by economic standards in the absence of moral, ethical and human values is hindrance to humanity prospects for elevation beyond materialism leading to spiritual enlightenment.

Shifting focus on U.S. and NATO strategy in Pakistan with provincial secession movement underway in Baluchistan and Sindh… presumably instigated by western intelligence,

The democratic and military leaderships in Pakistan demand for complete U.S. withdrawal is justified following NATO encroachment killing 24 Pakistan soldiers and Abbottabad mission in 2011.

The possibility for any terror groups, drug cartels and nefarious elements to thrive is remote provided government policies are directed towards nation building devoid of corruption.

Besides effective proactive domestic measures without compromising civil rights in conjunction with intelligence and law enforcement role would eliminate crimes and opportunity for foreign intervention.

Poignantly, state sponsored terrorism is the contemporary enigma for global society.

Waging wars under false pretexts ignoring casualties and international law.

Government crackdown on peaceful assembly and political dissidents subjected to abuse of power.

Legislative actions calling for access denial to cyberspace under the guise of protecting local interests.

Citizens dilemma is dismantling infrastructure with foundation laid on greed, corruption and ideology serving the nexus misguided aspirations at the vast majority peril.

Collectively the task could be undertaken to elect leaderships and representatives meeting the eligibility criteria – integrity, intelligence combined with commitment to public and national service.

Individually the desire for sacrifice originating from compassion would promote peace and harmony within and outside.

Global security is largely dependent on political and economic freedom that guarantees social justice.

Leaderships’ dedication to world peace and cooperation in improving life for all is required to address the manufactured complexity.

Life is purposeful upon kindling the spirit of oneness expressed in alleviating others pain and suffering.

Human potential expended in constructive outcome enhances the quality of life experienced in science and technology.

Such investments in politics and behavioral sociology would deliver positive returns and a paradigm for the future.

Pursuing peace over war is the only meaningful and rational approach to safe existence.

Life is to be cherished and celebrated and not inflicted harm for personal goals.

Wishing success to crusaders of peace and human rights in the world.

Peace to all!

Thank you.

Syria – Crisis Resolution

February 5, 2012

By Padmini Arhant

The political unrest in Syria emanating from prolonged oppression is Arab Spring motivated and in semblance with other Arab States experience viz. Libya for government transfer of power,

Syrian peaceful and non-violent protest has transformed into armed conflict between the rebels and government security force.

Arab Spring is the culmination of mainstream frustration over political repression, economic disparity and social inequality within society.

The violent confrontation in Syria beginning with government crackdown witnessed even in the so-called democracies against peaceful assembly triggered the relentless street demonstration.

Meanwhile, western powers with discriminatory dealings record in response to Arab Spring demand for political freedom are perceived as opportunists to exploit situation in their favor for economic and/or strategic interest.

Considering the western instigated killings in Bahrain, Yemen and procrastination in Tunisia, Egypt not barring leading Libya into civil war, the intervention thus far has been detrimental for revolutions in the region.

The majority of authoritarian regimes being close western allies or hegemony approved puppet governments,

The substantial mistrust against western proposals largely premised on regime change with military might cannot be underestimated given the ideology driven Project for New American Century targeted goals for global dominance.

Although the vested interests vary with geopolitical dynamics,

Syrian turmoil is attributed to government failure in maintaining dialogue with political opposition as well as the people through trusted and respected intermediary in the society.

President Bashar Al Assad authorization of civilian attacks using armed forces is reprehensible and a major misstep in the attempt to quell dissent.

The continuous violence lasting over eleven months especially in Homs and Damascus outskirts was facilitated by arms influx into the state providing arms dealers incentive for ammunition supply.

Influential powers as Security Council members share responsibility for Syrian status quo.

Arming the government and opposition in Syria for balanced retaliation is the repeat of Libyan episode.

An eye for an eye would blind the world is evident in Syrian political struggle.

The anti-government in Syria is not distinctive in terms of civilian representation due to western focus on Syria linked with Iran.

The reports on CIA and Mossad infiltration alongside Saudi Arabia covert participation through armed militia are a liability for any regional or international resolution.

Similarly Arab League mission in Syria to monitor the disturbance had a huge credibility issue with member states default on  human rights and political system denying republic rule.

Any foreign interference with ulterior motive would falter in the required action.

UN Security Council resolution posed to bring stability in Syria in the absence of political fairness against militancy apparently contributed to two members i.e. Russia and China veto the proposal.

The contentious issues are UN arms embargo against Syrian government but not on the insurgency and ambiguity in the draft language stating ‘all means necessary’ similar to Libyan interception that led to military aggression and massive civilian casualty.

UNSC polarized view and decisions on Middle East in general with US veto on Palestinian statehood, discarding UN appointed counsel Justice Richard Goldstone report on Gaza in 2009 and complicity in escalating tensions against Iran with crippling sanctionsseverely jeopardize council members’ integrity and impartiality in carrying out the anticipated measures in Syria.

The expansion of UNSC permanent membership inviting Brazil, Japan, South Africa, Turkey, Norway and India…to conform to contemporary economic and political paradigm is out of consideration for the council set up in twentieth century.

In light of the inherent shortcomings, the expectation for unanimity on global disputes is often challenging creating apprehension among members with reservations on human rights violation accord given the individual profile in this context.

United Nations organization purpose to defend the weak and vulnerable or step forward in recognizing Palestinian sovereignty is not necessarily the UNSC goal reflected in the misuse of veto power.

Syria heading in the direction of Libya with current mutiny has no alternative but ceasefire on all sides i.e. both the government and anti-government factions unconditional disarmament is imperative to stop the bloodshed in order to resume dialogue for peaceful political transition.

President Bashar Al Assad acknowledgment of citizens’ demand for democratic rule would defend Syria from foreign invasion and legitimize the leadership role in allowing republic governance to succeed as the viable political resolution.

The political opposition in Syria – Syrian National Council, Local Coordination Committee and Free Syrian Army…delineation from foreign association would clarify the groups’ authenticity subject to Syrian nationals final approval through political referendum.

Western powers ambition to expedite military incursion in Syria under humanitarian pretext imitating Libya would be counterproductive.

Instead internationally recognized non-profit and A-political humanitarian organization access to heal the wounded and attend to the displaced population could alleviate the suffering besides dispelling any speculations on potential civil discord.

United Nations service limited to UNHCR and UNICEF operation on the ground could further assist in the humanitarian aid.

There is urgency to refrain from violence on behalf of the government and opposition alike enabling civil discourse for constructive outcome.

Procrastination in political consensus would exacerbate the prevalent chaos weakening national security.

Solidarity among political leaderships, academics, scholars and peace activists in Syrian civil society could contain the clashes and mediate peace talks honoring Syrian electorate choice of government.

The inevitable change could not be stalled with political uprising having claimed many innocent lives and government determination to extend authoritarianism might replicate events in Egypt and Libya.

Syrian authority and anti-government segments are urged to lay their arms and adopt non-violent means for fruitful negotiations with immediate effect.

President Bashar Al Assad government reining control over political dissidents generated disintegration and political compromise would perhaps reverse the trend towards republican democracy.

Peace and liberty are the fundamental rights of all citizens regardless of faith, race and gender.

The desire to dominate and deprive individual freedom foments radicalism at one extreme and reason for foreign occupation in another.

Syrian citizens like fellow Arabs have endured persecution and fatalities until now,

The sacrifices would not be in vain with peace and democracy on the horizon.

Wishing the people of Syria eternal peace, progress and prosperity.

Peace to all!

Thank you.

United States – Reclaiming Republican Democracy

February 3, 2012

By Padmini Arhant

In the election year 2012 –

The urgency to overturn United States Supreme Court decision on Citizens United granting corporations and special interests unlimited rights to undermine democracy beginning with election campaign throughout legislation is upon every American concerned about corporatism and external influence over U.S. politics controlling 7 billion population destiny on the planet.

Independent Senator for Vermont – Bernie Sanders has been the target of corporate and special interests machinery determined to quell dissent viewed as major obstacle in corporations run politics.

As stated earlier, the peacemakers and advocates committed to saving lives and protecting individual freedom remain focused on their mission until accomplishment.

Senator Bernie Sanders is currently involved in introducing a bill seeking constitutional amendment to reverse the unconstitutional and undemocratic Supreme Court verdict favoring the all powerful economic and foreign forces intervention in American politics.

The constitutional amendment would categorically define the distinction between physical and abstract entity – the oversight in Supreme Court judgment.

Although constitution is subverted for political expediency in contemporary politics world over,

The citizens’ proactive engagement in altering the existential threat to democracy is crucial to restore republic governance.

Corporate donations and overseas power investments in politics deprive nationals from fair representation in public matter.

Grassroots movement is a formidable challenge to the status quo.

Senator Bernie Sanders is also involved in other important legislation detailed in the lawmaker’s news update.

Reiterating the previous message on health care and social security,

American citizens pledge to preserve Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security including restructuring Housing refinance options and adequate educational funding would help secure the present and future apparently in the elimination process demonstrating misguided policy.

Your activism is the only reliable mechanism to bring about the change you desire in life.

It is critical to be informed about the real activities especially behind the scenes deals among politics, economics and judiciary…network.

Please spread the message, create public awareness for grass roots mobilization to reclaim republican democracy.

Your attention to Senator Bernie Sanders’ newsletter would empower you for further action.

Thank you for your participation in civil society initiative on national issues.

Peace to all!

Padmini Arhant

Senator Bernie Sanders News Update:

“I want to take this opportunity to update you about what’s going on in Washington, and share my thoughts about the short and long-term challenges we face as a nation.

In the coming weeks I will step up my efforts to generate strong grassroots support for a constitutional amendment I have introduced to overturn the disastrous Citizens United Supreme Court decision of two years ago.

It seems to me that there are about five people in this country who believe that a corporation is a person.  Unfortunately, they are all on the Supreme Court.

The result of this misguided 5-4 decision, one of the worst ever handed down by a Supreme Court, is that corporations can now spend, without disclosure, unlimited sums of money on political advertising.

And we are seeing the results of that ruling right now with big money interests and Super PACs spending huge sums on television and radio advertising in the Republican primaries and in Senate races.

Unless we change it, that situation will only get worse in future years.

The good news is that throughout the country grassroots activists are working hard to reclaim our democracy and defeat Citizens United.

Resolutions in support of a constitutional amendment have already been passed in cities and towns all over the country including New York, Los Angeles, Boulder, Pueblo, Duluth, Oakland (CA), Albany (NY), Portland (OR), and Burlington (VT).

In Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, New Mexico, Oregon, Vermont and Washington state legislators have introduced similar type resolutions.

Please get involved in this issue.  Play a role in demanding that your local government and state legislature take a stand in demanding that Congress pass a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United.

To a significant degree, this is not a partisan issue.

Most Americans, regardless of their political ideology, do not believe that a handful of wealthy and powerful special interests should be able to dominate our political process and elect — or defeat — the candidates of their choice.

Another issue that I am currently working on is postal reform legislation.

The issue is extremely important not only for the 600,000 employees of the U.S. Postal Service, but for our entire economy.

As a result of a very onerous and unfair requirement that they pay $5.5 billion a year into a health benefit account for future retirees, as well as a significant decline in first class mail because of increased e-mail use, the Postal Service faces serious financial challenges.

Their response has been to develop a draconian proposal which would eliminate up to 200,000 jobs by shutting down over 3,000 small post offices, half (252) of their mail processing plants and end Saturday and next-day mail delivery.

This plan would result in a significant decline in the speed of mail delivery service and, in my view, the beginning of a “death spiral” for that vitally important agency.

With a diminishment in the quality and timeliness of the services the Postal Service provides, fewer and fewer businesses and consumers will be interested in using the mail.

The result will be that postal deficits will grow larger, more cuts will continue to be made, and eventually the Post Office will be a pale shadow of what it is today.

During the next several weeks I, and a number of my colleagues, will be working to improve the existing postal reform legislation, which is due to come to the floor of the Senate very shortly.

Our goal will be to save jobs in the Postal Service and maintain a high quality of service.  We will also be demanding that the Postal Service create a new and aggressive business model so that it can effectively compete in today’s market and increase their revenue in the digital age in which we live.

Lastly, I want to alert you to an ongoing issue I have been involved with during all of my five years in the Senate.

Sadly, virtually every Republican in Congress and too many Democrats are determined to cut Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid in the name of deficit reduction.

This is wrong!  We must not allow them to do that.

At a time when we have the most unequal distribution of wealth and income of any major country on earth, and when working people are suffering through the worst recession since the Great Depression,

We must not make savage cuts to programs which maintain the wellbeing and dignity of tens of millions of struggling Americans.

With 45,000 Americans dying each year because they don’t get to a doctor when they should, and when 50 million Americans already lack health insurance, how could anybody be calling for cuts in Medicare or Medicaid?

The truth is that we should be moving toward a universal, single-payer health care system, not decimating the limited public health programs we now have in place.

In terms of Social Security, please remember that Social Security today has a $2.5 trillion surplus, can pay out all benefits owed to every eligible American for the next 25 years and, because it is funded independently by the payroll tax, has not added one penny to our national deficit or debt.

Social Security must not be cut!

Yes, we need to address the deficit crisis, but there are fair and responsible ways to do that.  While the rich get richer, their effective tax rate is the lowest in decades.

The top 1 percent must be asked to pay their fair share of taxes.

While corporations are making record-breaking profits, many of them enjoy outrageous tax-loopholes, which enable them to pay little or nothing in taxes.

We must end corporate tax loopholes.

The United States now spends three times as much on the military as we did in 1997, and more than the rest of the world combined.

We must cut wasteful military spending.

Let me conclude by thanking you for your activism in the fight for progressive values and for a government which represents all the people, and not just the wealthy and powerful.  These are tough times for our country.

We must continue to push forward.  This struggle is not just about you or me or our generation.  It is about the future of the country and our children and grandchildren.”

Israel and U.S. War With Iran

January 31, 2012

By Padmini Arhant

United States latest plan improving bunker buster bombs effectiveness targeting Iran’s alleged nuclear facility is compliance with Israel’s pre-emptive strike preparedness to implement PNAC (Project for New American Century) agenda.

PNAC devised war with Iraq – A colossal setback squandering trillions of American taxpayer dollars and more than million lives lost including U.S. and coalition forces without Israel’s involvement in combat zone or logistic support is a harsh lesson in history.

Now eagerness to repeat same mistake against Iran is refusal to learn from previous experience especially by those hit with economic and human loss in waging wars on speculation.

News report stating Pentagon secret approach with Congress seeking additional funding $82 million for improvisation over and above $330 million already spent on 20 bombs production clearly invalidates democracy and,

Ignores public opinion calling for political attention towards deteriorating economy.

United States acute financial situation with skyrocketing debt and Congressional deadlocks on citizens’ matter as well as issues concerning national interest is once again misled by political aspirants drumbeat for war in the election year willfully obliging lobbyists like AIPAC (American Israeli Public Affairs Committee) demand to fulfill the ill-fated mission.

Since Project for New American Century is claimed as Zionist’s Magna Carta,

It is important to delineate Judaism from Zionism.  Unlike Zionism, Judaism is neither sanctimonious nor inculcates violence.

The religion in accordance with natural creation respects life and believes in freedom for self and others.

Unfortunately, Israel since establishment has been conquered by overzealous ideology to rise to supremacy in denying others the right to exist or have liberty.

Action until present time in justification for past century holocaust – indeed the Dark Age in human evolution cannot be inflicted on any living being in retribution.

Israel’s misrepresentation has deprived Israeli citizens to live in peace and harmony due to contracted outlook combined with determination to stay on course regardless of endless suffering from oppression and aggression towards neighbors in the region.

Peace within permeates peace around.

Middle East control via powerful energy industry and United States funded AIPAC foreign policy is proved detrimental to regional stability.

Harbingers presenting truth and facts fear none in the conviction to save humanity from peril.

Threatening peacemakers is a futile effort and confirms wrongdoers false sense of security based on presumptuous fallacy.

Israel’s position to inform United States merely twelve hours prior to potential attack against Iran despite dire consequences is kamikaze attempt considering Iran’s retaliatory capability,

Not to mention the stakes for United States with troop deployment in Persian Gulf.

Iran’s nuclear intention hype is overstretched along with heightened measures indicative of western intelligence information gathering –

CIA and Mossad in particular accused in Iran’s nuclear scientists killings pose a legitimate question on reliability given the same intelligence failure to avert 9/11 attacks in the United States.

The western intelligence proactive response ahead of September 11, 2001 could have saved many innocent lives besides preventing Afghanistan and Iraq wars.

On the contrary, the techniques against Iran – eliminating academics for alleged engagement in nuclear development is provocation to incite reaction.

With U.N inspection on Iran’s nuclear program underway, the unnecessary intrusion undermines sovereignty.

Such indulgence witnessed in Pakistan including covert operation to split Baluchistan, Sindh…provinces anticipating political turmoil.

The argument that Iran is an existential threat to Israel also deserves careful review in reality and hypothesis context.

If Iran were to harm Israel with nuclear arsenal on the presumption that Israel admittedly declared a ‘Jewish State,’

Then around 35,000 Jews in Iran with a Jewish representative in Iranian Parliament might not continue to thrive and the Iranian Jewish community would not have declined Israel’s citizenship offer with monetary incentive.

However, Israel’s treatment of Palestinians as Israeli nationals came to light with Israel’s Supreme Court decision not allowing Palestinians in Israel – the common law access to bring nucleus family by marriage from West bank or Gaza.

The Palestinian population as Israeli citizens are forced to endure the state imposed family separation in the only ‘democratic’ nation in Middle East.

Apart from the apparent discriminatory practices, the Israeli Palestinian dispute is well known with controversial Jewish settlements stalling the peace process forever.

Another reason for brewing tension with Iran is cited as ‘regime change’ per PNAC dossier.

Iranian citizens plight in terms of political freedom is no different from Saudi Arabia.

Saudi Arabia is also currently a dominant player in derailing Arab Spring initiated rise of democracy in Middle East to prolong repression in the national and regional domain.

While Saudi Arabia accepted as a close western ally, Iran projected the arch nemesis worthy of ‘obliteration’ among U.S. and Israel political circle.

The conspicuous western double standards in applying preferential status to authoritarianism functioning as monarchy and theocracy respectively exemplify divide and rule strategy.

Iran’s political dynamics was altered with western intervention in the overthrow of democratically elected popular government under Prime Minister Dr. Mohammad Mossadegh – the golden opportunity for widespread democracy in Middle East was thwarted through CIA operatives.

Sales pitch on war against Iran simulating Iraq scenario does not bode well for the architects with global dissent at peak and revolutions erupting in every part of the world rejecting governments’ misplaced priority i.e. unaffordable warfare neglecting dire economy.

The western dominance in Middle East is exerted through invasion, occupation provocation and subversion for economic and territorial conquest.

Ambitions to ignite the spark that would engulf the region are counterproductive.

Abandoning violence in pursuit of peace and diplomacy is the rational means to conflict resolutions.

Iran’s co-operation to U.N and IAEA inspection is praiseworthy.

Further transparency and accountability would defuse the lingering crisis.

Meanwhile, nuclear disarmament by all nuclear states beginning with United States, United Kingdom, France, Russia, China, India, Pakistan and Israel is the only assurance for secure future.

The ‘responsible’ nuclear state concept has resulted in nuclear proliferation rather than containment.

The hierarchy arguably leading to mistrust and apprehension in the era of violence promoted over peaceful negotiations.

Again lifting sanctions against Iran is paramount to alleviate economic and energy costs for average consumer worldwide.

Israel and United States patience with Iran amid U.N. inspection is necessary to demonstrate the democratic nations’ pledge to global peace and security.

Wishing peace and stability in Middle East and the world over.

Peace to all!

Thank you.

World Economic Forum – 2012 Davos, Switzerland

January 28, 2012

By Padmini Arhant

Warm Greetings to world leaders in politics, economics, social, environment and humanitarian organizations attending the world economic forum in Davos, Switzerland.

The global economy is frail with complexities demanding solutions in cognizance of specific and general needs for revival.

Economic meltdown could be attributed to myriad sources and identifying the root causes would enable policy restructuring to stimulate and sustain growth in the interim and beyond.

Capitalism is by far the viable economic system provided the free market functionality confined to building economy without intervention in politics.

While Capitalism governance triumphs in weakening legislations aimed at consumer protection, fair pricing for affordability as well as balanced trade practices in national and international domain.

Government regulations for this purpose are met with resistance as intrusion in private sector.

Free market economy with free pass on all economic activities without checks and balances led the economy to a near free fall in recent history.

The current economy on the precipice due to flagrant dismissal of reforms combined with institutional failures to deliver the required outcome.

Economic model promoting globalization with two monetary authorities – The World Bank and International Monetary Fund (IMF) facilitated the collapse of modern economy in the developing and developed region.

Modern economy under prudent economic i.e. fiscal, trade and monetary policy had better prospects to vitalize agricultural, service and industrialized economies through self-sustenance and international trade.

World Bank and IMF set up to gain forceful entry into economies under globalization auspice derailed progress denying independent strategies to address problems confronting individual economy.

The mandatory membership with World Bank and IMF lending enforced untenable terms and conditions on borrowers subjugating nations for unlimited access to resources including the heads of the state appointment across the globe.

World Bank and IMF debtors share similar economic woes and struggle to amortize debts in a systemic abusive deal involving collaterals directly undermining sovereignty and binding generations with liability.

From European contagion to Sub-Saharan Africa existence dilemma  – World Bank and IMF together play a major role in exacerbating financial crisis and implementing austerity measure to public detriment – bringing mainstream to main street protest.

World Bank interference in environment policy to control the governments pledged $100 billion towards carbon emission reduction is vehemently opposed given the organization’s trajectory in funds mismanagement.

Capitalism would thrive in the absence of shadow government split into three categories:

They are banking, transnational corporations and defense industry.

Banking industry speculative trade and selective justice against speculators sparing political campaign donors viz. prominent investment banks or equity management firms responsible for U.S. housing market slump depriving millions ownership and shelter along with euro zone calamity expose the network between politics, judiciary and economics.

Transnational Corporations – infringement upon overseas markets threatens disadvantaged demography livelihood through governmental pressure endangering small medium enterprise and entrepreneurships at lower economic strata.

Mega Corporation stakes in developing and emerging economies is a gateway to monopoly.

Likewise, in national turf – the big corporations bidding on merger and acquisitions suppress the free market elements to emerge and compete effectively against powerful establishments.

Energy Sector – Regarded the behemoth in containing alternative energy output using solar, wind and hydro projects.

They are instrumental in waging wars to maintain vested interests in oil and natural gas enriched territories around the world.

Wars also generate energy demand against inadequate supply boosting oil prices at peak.

Defense Industry – wars are lucrative with ammunition proliferation and investments in innovative stockpiles among warring factions confirming profit – the motivational factor from economic standpoint and the other dimension being global dominance to retain status quo.

Energy and Defense industries are influential forces in congressional and Presidential election.

United States Supreme Court decision on Citizens United is carte blanche to Corporations undermining democratic electoral process.

Unless the outcome reversed, the trend jeopardizes election results legitimacy and credibility.

Politics and economics fusion exceeding normal boundaries evidently is not the government of the people, by the people and for the people.

Another extenuating component of finance industry with pervasive impact on global society is tax havens and unaccounted funds in overseas bank accounts.

Swiss banks – USB and Credit Suisse Societe Generale – The leading purveyors of secret bank accounts accepting funds from illicit means essentially legalizing money laundering is crippling economies with Vienna convention granting impunity to offenders predominantly representing the political and privileged class in the society.

Swiss government neutral position and opposition to warfare is severely compromised in the approval of banking operation in semblance with the former Bank of Credit and Commerce International engaged in illegal assets holdings.

International objection to BCCI violation of banking law precipitated closure ending financial impropriety.

Banks in Switzerland, Singapore, Cayman and Cook Islands…transferring offshore accounts to onshore is imperative to alleviate burden on taxpayers in the developing and developed economy.

Credit Suisse Societe Generale compliance in this regard with United States is praiseworthy and applying same standards to other nations would eliminate preferential treatment perception.

Switzerland as a democratic society could set an example in returning national wealth to all nations deprived of revenue in income taxes or transactions pertaining to national or state contracts.

Market economy in republic governed democracy would comprise relevant regulations to safeguard customer rights, competitiveness for price and quality, business incentives to secure guaranteed returns and job preservation, logical tax reform with unaccounted money recovery,

Corporations leading economy rather than national and international politics would delineate economic leaderships in monitoring growth with necessary policy adjustments for better results.

Prohibiting corporations and corporate donations in election campaigns is critical for democracy to prevail.

Public sector streamlining bureaucracy and remaining focused on civil society development would improve efficiency.

Politics and economics on parallel mode refining methods, supplementing ideas and complementing productivity would enhance performance without hindrance in defined goals.

Capitalism in the present format is heavily invested in political power neglecting ethics and economy.

Profiteering on economic and military warfare is proved counterproductive.

Changing course to benefit humanity at large is the rational approach to resolving economic crisis.

Market economy guided by pragmatism and ingenuity with moral code as the catalyst is the promising future.

On that optimistic note,

Wishing success to world economic forum 2012 in Davos, Switzerland!

Peace to all!

Thank you.

Iran – EU Sanctions and Oil Embargo

January 25, 2012

By Padmini Arhant

European Union compliance to Israel’s proposal on oil embargo against Iran is a huge economic misstep for everyone involved especially Europe tethering on Central Banks capital infusion in the austerity era triggering population uprising against governments’ misplaced priority and erroneous policies hurting the public.

Every action has equal and opposite reaction.

U.S. and EU amenability to Israel’s far-fetched aspirations in the Middle East and western powers ambitions beyond Iran is detrimental for global economy and security.

Although U.S and EU imposed crippling sanctions against Iran at Israel’s behest might appear to strangle Iran’s economy,

The net impact on oil dependent industrialized western economies would be devastating regardless of alternative arrangements to import oil from other producers –

The course is already contributing to crude oil price increase with ripple effects on the end consumer.

Notwithstanding the emerging economies – BRICS – Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa along with other players in Asia, Latin America and Africa would be competing with western counterparts on oil imports when Iran removed from supply chain.

Developing economies are struggling to cope with widespread recession partly attributed to financial markets speculative practices particularly the U.S finance and energy sectors major role leading to the status quo.

Again emerging economies dilemma in containing inflation could be exacerbated with energy demand pushing prices up pervasively on consumer goods and services in the market place,

While the outlined repercussions are economy related, the political ramifications cannot be ignored.

Arab Spring in the Middle East is currently exploited for political advantage in the west.

The revolutions having sacrificed precious lives in the initially peaceful and non-violent protests turned into civil war utilizing ammunition stockpiles originally delivered by defense industries in the armed confrontation.

Saudi Arabia and Iraq – The Arab nations expected to produce Iran’s share of crude oil for distribution to western power and allies denying Iranian people survival means foment not only anti-western sentiments but also anti-Arab thoughts cultivating the culture of acrimony rather than harmony.

Saudi Arabia – the kingdom proudly hosting the holy pilgrimage to Mecca with the holy shrine of Prophet Mohammad (May Peace be upon him),

The authorities’ actions are contradictory to Islamic faith and values exemplified by the Prophet.

The moral guidance enunciated in Holy Quran is violated when an Islamic nation willfully cooperates in the economic and/or military warfare against another Islamic state since Islam condemns killings, oppression and persecution of any living being.

Besides the architects of war in the Middle East have Saudi Arabia – the next target in the regime change agenda.

Effectively, Saudi Arabia complicity in substituting Iran’s oil production and other means could be self-destructive.

Similarly Iraq – the victim of unjust war waged under false pretext is deja vous for the country still in turmoil following decimation from invasion.

United States appointed leadership Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki is a strong ally of Iran maintaining close ties with Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and,

The relation between the two neighbors would be seriously tested in the critical hour ranging from oil output to strategic assistance against Iran.

Turkey – The NATO partner and intermediary suffered setbacks with western powers – recent France Vote against Turkey on Armenian issue and Flotilla incident with Israel in 2010.

Any other Islamic nation’s alliance in the economic and military aggression against Iran with citizens being the casualty might produce unrest within society considering the opposition to foreign intervention in Islamic countries across the globe.

In terms of formidable support to Iran – China and Russia partnerships on many issues including security threats are solid and expected to continue in the long run.

Persian Gulf incursion combined with economic restraints against Iran is also perceived as decelerating growth among the emerging economies to sustain global dominance.

Humanity progress is measured by collective prosperity and superiority aimed at eliminating nations or diminishing economic status could ultimately harm the source.

The world would benefit from peace and unity.

Perpetual conflicts destroy life and destiny of the present and future generation.

Political leaderships are granted power for a reason – to improve the lives of many and empower the powerless not otherwise.

The leadership[s are urged to resolve the dispute through peace and diplomacy.

Life is meaningful upon serving the purpose to kindle the spirit of oneness bound by universal love and compassion.

Peace to all!

Thank you.

State of the Union Address – 2012

January 24, 2012

By Padmini Arhant

Warm  Greetings to honorable members representing the House and the Senate of the United States 113th Congress, esteemed judiciary members, distinguished United States Military High Command, fellow Americans and citizens around the world.

United States is confronted with multidimensional challenges in the domestic and international front.

The complexities demand resolutions from global perspective.

Beginning at home, the immediate priority is economic revival with job creation, promoting business opportunities to retain and generate employment across the economic sectors,

Restoring housing market,

Containing massive property liquidation depriving American families ownership and shelter,

Credit facilities to boost small and medium enterprise,

Review financial reform and health care legislations passed in 2010 and 2011 for necessary amendments to relieve the vast majority i.e. 99% from mandatory insurance,

Health care industry cost adjustments for affordability,

Retaining Medicare as well as Medicaid for the demography dependent on these programs as life support.

Banking industry audit analyzing financial reform impact with necessary regulations to eliminate hedge fund anomalies.

Educational funding from K-12 to college degree programs preparing fresh graduates for twenty first century competitiveness and innovation.

Incentives to businesses and corporations upon guaranteed job growth in the manufacturing and service sector to stimulate economy.

Tax reform closing tax evasion loopholes, recovering unaccounted funds to a tune of $2.3trillion from Pentagon budget not barring financial assets in Swiss bank and other overseas accounts,

Tax hikes on 1% wealthiest to alleviate the burden on the remaining taxpayers being the core consumer base.

The economic outlook is also dependent on global economy especially the euro zone and emerging economies amid looming war against Iran.

Politically, with Presidential elections around the corner, there is an urgent requirement for constitutional amendments to reverse the Citizens United outcome protecting democracy from special interests proprietorship.

Electoral reform to justify free and fair elections considering the overwhelming monetary influences via corporate executive donations and other means to buy elections compromise republic rights in a democracy.

National debt and deficit – The heated debate often wind up with no action as witnessed in the Super Committee appointed to address the burgeoning debt crisis.

As stated earlier, spending cuts alone in the absence of revenue would not address the contentious problem.   Tax hikes and diverse income source in the equation is the logical approach to debt reduction.

Again, deficit mitigation would be futile in the prevalent determination to expand military commitments – waging wars on borrowed funds and printing money leading the economy to banana republic.

Pentagon budget contraction is no longer an option but a necessity to spare American citizens from generational indebtedness,

Warfare and Military Base – Troops redeployment from Iraq to Persian Gulf for provocative aggression against Iran is counterproductive in all aspects especially the economic liability on American taxpayers and U.S credit rating at stake with the alarming debt from the protracted military engagements.

United States foreign policy premised on illegal invasion, occupation and provocation is best abandoned with a paradigm shift in the establishment of peace and democracy throughout the world.

The strategy is evidently ineffective and unpopular not to mention the toll on life, economy and environment.

Nuclear and Conventional arms disarmament is prudent for global security.

Environmentally, the climate talks interpreted in action would expedite the universal goal on global warming i.e. the sustainable temperature at 1.5°C or 350 ppm.

World peace, progress and prosperity are dependent on political will and leaderships desire in resolving conflicts through meaningful dialogue and peaceful negotiations.

Peace to all!

Thank you.

Romania – Revolution For Republican Democracy]

January 23, 2012

By Padmini Arhant

Revolution in Eastern Europe returns once again to Bucharest, Romania.

The peaceful and non-violent public protests evolved into violent confrontation with police crackdown on citizens intensified in the recent rally.

Sadly, the government use of violence towards citizens reveals impatience and apathy to declining economic and social standards.

Romanian demonstration in semblance to global dissent on deteriorating economic conditions for the vast majority,

While the political establishment and privileged class thriving regardless of ineffective economic strategies confirms feudalism emergence to surface.

Severe austerity and rampant corruption denying average citizens normal existence are contentious issues among Romanian demonstrators depicting universal plight.

The government failure to address domestic problems – burgeoning economic crisis in particular drives mainstream on to main street to express grievances and desperate situation largely attributed to policies lacking in pervasive economic growth affecting population basic needs in life.

Romanian revolution triumph is evident in history with elimination of communist regime under Nicolae Ceausescu leadership and subsequent transformation towards democracy with market economy proves the republic power in prevailing over forces threatening human rights and dignity depriving economic progress.

The incumbent government under President Traian Basescu is challenged for drastic spending cuts amid corruption charges leveled against the authority.

Romania as EU member adopting disproportionate measures targeting essential programs such as citizens pension, health and education similar to Greece, Spain and Italy,

In the absence of economic stimulus to promote employment and local business opportunities is suggestive of government neglect in providing viable solutions to diverse issues confronting the nation.

The tradition adapting to general economic model may not be suitable for every economy and exploring individual strategies could perhaps produce positive output in meeting the unique requirements.

President Traian Basescu administration inability to redress growing economic and political turmoil leads to instability exacerbating people suffering besides jeopardizing national security.

Furthermore, the leadership determination to stay in power despite electorate vehement opposition seeking resignation from office undermines democracy secured after immense sacrifice in the earlier freedom movement against repression.

The people in any society deserve governance adept at understanding the dynamics of events and preparedness to respond effectively for desirable outcome.

Notwithstanding national and international complexities demanding resolutions due to discord created for global dominance.

Citizens’ call to dissolve the government could be initiated through no confidence vote that would determine the early election process with transitional power unless,

The current leadership in recognition of republic rejection steps down allowing the country to move forward with people choice representation honoring democracy, peace and political stability.

Meanwhile, it is imperative for Romanian citizens and leaderships to contain tensions between them and begin dialogue for peaceful settlement on the economic, political and social disagreements.

Any nation disregarding the genuine voices of citizens could not be a sovereign democratic state.

The era of oppression is coming into conclusion and attempts to prolong or reinstate authoritarianism would be futile with increased public awareness and global revolution commitment to reclaim republican democracy.

Good Luck and Best Wishes! To people of Romania and opposition leaderships for a democratically guided successful transfer of power.

Peace, progress and prosperity to Romania.

Peace to all!

Thank you.

Israel and United States against Iran – World War III

January 20, 2012

By Padmini Arhant

The covert war against Iran through crippling economic sanctions and nuclear scientists killings is an invitation for cataclysmic consequences in the pre-emptive mission.

Israel and United States provocation against Iran under nuclear program pretext is a premise to engage the world in confrontation possibly evolving into nuclear meltdown.

The masterminds behind potential global involvement refuse to recognize the magnitude of disaster in the fundamentally flawed strategy to attack Iran inciting international conflict.

Despite several warnings in opposition to belligerence in the volatile Middle East, the recent isolation of Iran is intimidation exacerbating population frustration and anxiety on looming warfare.

The taunting with various trade restrictions and financial flow disruptions towards Iran constitutes persecution of Iranian citizens in the misguided regime change agenda.

Obsession with Iran is fatal attraction for the provocateurs underestimating the irreversible outcome.

The nuclear states – Israel and United States intrusion in Iran via intelligence agencies CIA and Mossad to deter alleged Iranian advanced nuclear status based on speculations is counterproductive especially,

When IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) – western powers trusted organization has verified and reiterated Iran’s non-proliferation record in accordance with the accused NPT membership as non-nuclear state.

On the contrary both Israel and United States being nuclear nations are neither NPT (Non Proliferation Treaty) signatories nor maintained restraints in nuclear development.

Besides, the strike against Iran in any proportion directly endangers U.S. troop deployment in the Persian Gulf notwithstanding Hormuz strait shut down leading to energy crisis.

Unites States volunteering troop sacrifice for Israel’s misconception on Iran’s nuclear situation,

In addition to burdening U.S. taxpayers with war expenditure confirms misplaced preferences particularly in the backdrop of skyrocketing U.S. debt at  $15.3 trillion accompanied by escalated war spending juxtaposed severe austerity proposals on citizens life dependent programs.

Not to mention absence of revenue due to forbidden tax hikes on 1% wealthiest in the society and U.S. monetary aid continuation to affluent nations like Israel increases national deficit.

Ideology driven policy and protecting pentagon budget on protracted warfare is dominant in Washington.

Otherwise taxpayers funded Congress would not have tried prohibiting free speech with controversial SOPA and PIPA bills targeting truth and facts in public domain.

Electorate granted authority is used against them at their expense.

In a real democracy elected representatives would heed and not drown republic voice -prevalent in contemporary politics.

Expecting wars to stimulate economy and boost political rating is a misnomer considering Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan debacle.

Humility is revealed in learning from past and present mistakes unlike the status quo defiance in preventing imminent catastrophes from military and economic aggression against Iran.

United States imposed ban on EU crude oil imports from Iran would be devastating for fragile European economy amid euro zone crisis.

European and United States economic recovery with viable solutions is entirely dependent on checks and balances in foreign policy determining political and economic conditions from global perspective.

There are remedies to the political and military standoff between Israel and Iran.

First and foremost, lifting economic sanctions against Iran and retracting military position in Persian Gulf is imperative in easing tensions for multilateral meeting initiating constructive dialogue agreed to by Iran.

Upon creating conducive environment with mutual hospitality rather than hostility,

The prospects for peaceful negotiations could emerge with necessary trust and credibility in moving forward on many contentious issues concerning Israel and Iran.

Most importantly such exchange would categorically win public empathy on both sides alleviating legitimate trepidation from existing scenario – i.e. strike against Iran resulting in regional retaliation with Israel Mideast policy regarded more adversarial than perceived threats from Iran.

For any positive results – the negotiating partners and participants genuine commitment towards peace and diplomacy is required to defuse stalemate.

Mass movement engineered political transformations are authentic and democratic in nature contrasting foreign powers intervention with vested interests serving as spoilers evident in Egypt, Libya, Syria, Bahrain, Yemen…and now in Iran.

Egypt military is allowed to remain in power with substantial U.S. military aid prolonging iron fist rule and elections proving to be farcical facilitating fundamentalists victory inevitably dissolved reinstating foreign power appointed dictatorial government.

Similarly in Libya – the peaceful and non-violent revolution converted into civil war with foreign powers candid endorsement of Gaddafi rule extended through hegemonic choice Saif Al Islam Gaddafi – still remaining the preferred candidate in reserve for possible return signified in the call for fair trial on war crimes against Saif Al Islam in spite of the heir apparent authorization and engagement in civilian massacre.

Meanwhile the U.S. State department primary contacts – non- revolutionary Libyan expatriates from western shores arrival in Libya enabled them in gaining power in the new government and ironically introduced Sharia Law – depriving meaningful democracy espousing political rights, economic progress and poignantly social equality.

The foreign power policy – Control over Middle East resources with proxy authoritarianism is intact.

Local revolutions without foreign powers clandestine complicity with autocratic regimes could be far more successful in achieving democracy.

Further more they would be a formidable challenge to hegemony nominated authorities in any political system.

Shifting focus on the brewing storm in Persian Gulf – The clear distinction between Iran and Iraq could perhaps motivate leaderships in refraining from military action and,

Instead pursue harmony in resolving the burgeoning security matter.

Abandoning untenable ambitions from all sides would save life and provide an opportunity for peaceful reconciliation in the embattled zone.

The immediate priority is improving the global economy and political freedom for the oppressed around the world with equal attention towards environment goals.

Conforming to democratic values and principles in policies would enunciate peace.

Wishing Israel, United States and Iran peaceful settlement on all issues.

Peace to all!

Thank you.
