Greece – EU Ultimatum With Austerity
July 15, 2015
By Padmini Arhant
Following the national referendum early July, the international creditors and EU members, the German leadership in particular ruled out economically viable options such as debt write off and financial plan aimed at restructuring, capitalization together with growth oriented reforms besides spending cuts to rescue Greece from precipitous decline.
The recent EU summit has enforced more austerity in defiance to Greece citizens’ rejection of the failed policy responsible for Greece deterioration and similar impact across Europe leaving 25 million and more workers in the unemployment category.
The EU decisions evidently prioritize pride and pecuniary power over pragmatic solutions to debt crisis.
Another obvious sign in the ongoing development is EU re-attempt to remove incumbent government considering earlier outcome with plebiscite on austerity attached to government resignation upon YES vote went the other way.
Accordingly post EU marathon meeting, the determination to cause political instability instigating infighting in Greece during prime time of government preparing to present EU recommended grave austerity programs to the Parliament is not a coincidence.
The turbulence in Greece with external meddling in political affairs of a sovereign state has striking resemblance to events in Ukraine.
Ironically, the austerity proponents in EU consciously ignore the costs related to holding referendums and frequent elections by stirring political tensions to jettison the premier and the government not approved by them.
The involvements also pronounce the respect or the lack thereof for foreign state sovereignty.
I reiterate on EU bureaucracy costing EU citizens a fortune and yet EU dogma on austerity is extremity overriding rationality.
When a nation is deprived of income due to lack of investments in the economic sector saddled with common currency euro compromising competitive edge in trade and microeconomic activities,
The spending cuts and draconian measures arguably exacerbate economic conditions stifling any chances of recovery.
EU offer on the third bailout €86 billion tied to harsh financial terms is aimed at ejecting the present government rather than addressing the economic recession and liquidity problems in the country.
The contemporary practice to destabilize nations for ulterior motives guaranteed to affect sources especially in the inter-dependent regional and global economic environment.
EU and euro zone protectionists’ egregious doctrine on severe austerity proved a phenomenal failure and no longer sustainable.
France is an example of austerity stricken economy producing massive layoffs and government legislation extending retirement age while reducing pensions and wages crippling the French work force.
French Prime Minister Manuel Valls emphasis on Greece remaining in euro zone otherwise opposition to GREXIT was explicitly stated as geopolitical importance clarifying EU real intentions slighting Greece and other member states viz. Spain, Italy, Portugal and Ireland…economy.
EU steps against Greece economic stimulus is counterproductive.
The insistence on trying same experiments expecting different results defy basic intelligence not to mention the expenses incurred in the repeat trial and error methods aggravating the process.
EU commitment is saliently towards saving euro zone and parallel government in Brussels than outreach member states with necessary financial package.
Greece government approach to resurrect economy and release the people from indebtedness lies in independent economic and financial management reinstating the original currency drachma backed by sound monetary, fiscal and trade policy.
The opportunity is far better and greater with people governed state in control of national assets and treasury unlike existing hierarchy subjecting member states to individual and EU parliamentary procedure on critical economic matter contributing to waste of time, resources and money in the austerity dominant era.
Perhaps Greece resonance in this respect could avert political turmoil ending economic misery.
Good Luck! To Greece population in claiming political and economic freedom.
Peace to all!
Thank you.

India – Celebrity Worship And Political Circus
July 9, 2015
By Padmini Arhant
The celebrity worship in India is unprecedented and to a large extent foments megalomania.
Politics and controlled communication media share a deep bond with entertainment sector in the country.
The political parties are constantly vying with each other in bringing people from film and sports industry (cricket in particular) to represent them.
The commonality is the hunger for power, fame and fortune forming the basis for mutual attraction.
Celebrities are held above law in any issue extending into embezzlements from kickbacks and backdoor deals in government venture.
Those involved in accidents resulting in loss of ordinary citizens life from drunken driving and in other scenario contributing to excess speed limit on the less developed highway are protected from appropriate action.
The two incidents – directly related to Bollywood actors had victims and their families blamed for the untimely deaths and deprived of prompt medical assistance.
In this regard politics turning a blind eye to celebrities faith whether from natural birth or apostasy that is otherwise contentious in all affairs proves the political priority to stardom transcending religion, ethnicity and other background.
The latest one with the incumbent party BJP MP (the member of Parliament) supposedly representing the poor constituency of the economically disadvantaged Uttar Pradesh state riding in Mercedes as the official vehicle for personal trip crashed into oncoming automobile causing the death of a four year old child and leaving other passengers seriously injured in the car.
Besides the factors behind the accident, the preferential treatment provided to the celebrity turned political party representative deserves mentioning in humanitarian context.
The passerby, a doctor had taken the celebrity with minor wound in his car ignoring the remaining victims and the Hippocratic oath to rescue anyone especially the most vulnerable of all in need of emergency care.
The doctor going to film star’s aid leaving others behind – the four year old girl and five year old boy suffering massive injury is a failure in professional judgment.
Accordingly the celebrity received top-notch attention in the best medical facility.
Meanwhile the critically injured passengers i.e. non-celebrities in the other car were abandoned to their fate for half hour in the accident scene.
According to the victims personal and eyewitness accounts they had to ride in an auto rickshaw (the three wheeler scooter) to reach the nearby government hospital. The four year old girl (Sonam) succumbed to her wounds on her mother’s lap on the way to the medical center.
The celebrity was fussed over with comprehensive procedures and the family with life threatening injuries became relevant only after the glaring gross negligence brought to public focus by the grieving father.
The mournful family also expressed their disappointment with the Bollywood actor turned MP not reaching out to them despite the fateful experience with the loss of their child.
To make matter worse, the celebrity accused the father for not having followed the traffic rules holding him responsible for the tragedy.
In this instance, the celebrity as the serving political representative could care less about the civil duty to inquire after the family and other members affected in the traumatic event clarifying human life matters only when the entity is a celebrity.
The apathy to mainstream problems is the underlying feature in the deteriorating human character.
I hope for the speedy recovery of the family hurt in the unfortunate collision with strength to bear the painful moment in life.
On the contrary, the ongoing political storm in New Delhi attributed to the present foreign minister intervention to assist the controversial IPL (Indian Premier League – Cricket Sport) founder dubbed the fugitive to travel within Europe for medical purpose concerning the family is asserted as the humanitarian call and lauded amongst the political class.
The IPL chief confronted with allegations and charges refuting through twitter social media dragging the polity into spotlight.
These developments confirm the so-called world’s largest democracy also renowned for the biggest political circus on earth.
Indian political establishment is the epicenter of corruption and criminality notwithstanding treason evident in explosive scandals across political parties alternating term in office.
The political class and bourgeois subservience to appease the unscrupulous external forces is second to none.
The election is a fraud with extensive bribery of electorate using counterfeit notes and black money from various channels near and far including the underworld and nefarious elements subscription to candidacies for vested interests.
Even the pretentious common man party (AAP) staged as anti-corruption faction encouraged Delhi voters to accept money from the other political parties – BJP, NDA and Congress and cast the vote for AAP.
Cash for votes is not limited to campaign trail and the tradition carried over in Parliament and state assembly to sway opinion on legislation usually favoring domestic and foreign oligarchy and stifle anti-graft law.
Politics using religion is the trend sowing the seeds of discord – the trait inherited from imperial divide and conquer strategy. The irony is the political members lineage to Islam with ancestry not recollected in selective memory.
The former Prime Minister of India, Indira Gandhi was married to a muslim Feroz (Gandhi) making the descendents part Muslims in origin.
The political members i.e. the Prime Minister Narinder Modi and the Patriarch of the ruling party L.K.Advani as well as the former chief minister of the state as chief trustees of temples viz. Somnath (God Shiva) temple in Gujarat recently barred entry to non-Hindus viz. Muslims and Christians citing the entrants to seek permission from the temple administration prior to visit.
The reason for the ordinance is apparently in response to Islam mosques and Christian chapels not allowing visitors from different sect.
Such conduct is reflective of using God as political pawn to impose fundamentalism in society.
Any religion restricting access to people of any other faith or non-believers to the place of worship cannot be true followers of the religion and ownership on God as the sole entity of a specific domain is ignorance prohibiting acceptance.
The prevalent religious dogma is contradictory to major religions claim as monotheist i.e. One God as the universal power.
Monotheism would encompass secularism without reservations upon the religion being established with blessings from God – the Supreme divine power behind creations for constructive evolution.
The isolation of religion premised on orthodox belief and largely political gains highlight indoctrination substituting spirituality.
Condescendence and discrimination widely practiced conforming to foreign authorities influence over politics and other sections in society.
Nature is bestowed with facts and knowledge since the dawn of life on earth leading to the existing information age in digital format.
Regardless the aptitude exemplified in positive attitude accompanied with gratitude delineate the genuinely knowledgeable, the authentic from platitude due to magnitude, fortitude and plenitude defying servitude to uplift the spirit of the multitude at any altitude.
Peace to all!
Thank you.

Greece – Fix It Or GREXIT Dilemma
July 7, 2015
By Padmini Arhant
Greece despite unequivocal NO vote against austerity compromised soon after the outcome with the finance minister Yanis Varoufakis resignation on euro zone officials demand stating the minister was unwelcome in the meeting.
The euro zone and EU gesture speaks volume of the respect or the lack thereof to democracy given the promotion of western democracy worldwide.
Furthermore the disposition reflects on the one world government (NWO) i.e. EU in Brussels direct interference in political governance of the member state and dismissal of sovereignty.
EU and euro zone expect Greece to stay in the Union to share the burden on euro volatility alongside stifling competition on trade and tourism favoring the major players Germany using euro and England opting out of euro.
However, there is no incentive provided to Greece in alleviating economic hardship with financial assistance to restore domestic banking system, emergency liquidity and internal cash flow to stimulate economy.
Greece using euro as the national currency is unable to exercise money circulation and distribution along with controlling inflation otherwise Greece has no control over EU and euro zone implemented monetary, fiscal and trade policy.
In fact this situation applies to PIGS states and Eastern European members economy under Brussels mismanagement.
EU and TROIKA austerity imposed on Greece and other recession hit economies exacerbating financial problems in the private and public sector.
In the absence of economic growth with capitalization at affordable borrowing rates, the cash strapped nations are pushed towards adversity with austerity.
The austerity proponents exempt them from fiscal restraints considering expenditure in Brussels run parallel government appoint delegates in various positions leading to unnecessary bureaucracy.
The costs are transferred to the citizens of the member states especially in the lower economic strata like Greece. Hence EU insistence on Greece for additional hikes in Value added taxes (VAT) to perpetuate Brussels extravagant operation only serving oligarchy and vested interests.
TROIKA involvement in Greece deviating from financial activities to choosing governments with frequent elections and forcing the recent referendum cost the state in contradiction to their prescription on austerity.
The plebiscite outcome with a YES vote anticipated by TROIKA was aimed at removal of Syriza led government from power preparing Greece for yet another polls to install TROIKA approved government at exorbitant expense to the people in Greece.
Again there is no recognition amongst TROIKA imposing will that contributes to more spending in the intentionally caused political tensions for instability.
TROIKA striking down proposals from the current Greece government and extending status quo might satisfy egotistical stance and essentially conflate the problems affecting the creditors and debtor.
Euro future is hanging in balance with disproportionate benefits to members within circuit not to mention the superficial value on the commodity conforming to currency maneuver trend.
Greeks with similar desire to stay in euro zone and EU need to review the experience in the past years up until now.
The dependency on TROIKA and EU for necessary breakthrough has not been forthcoming to relieve the ailing economy and instead the woeful measures are regarded the appropriate remedy saturating public and private debt in the country.
Greece political party Syriza concerns about leaving euro zone upon no positive developments in the negotiations between government and TROIKA would have to be transformed into preparedness with alternatives in returning to drachma that facilitates independent strategy on monetary, fiscal and macroeconomic conditions customizing applications to match targeted growth and output.
As for explanation to the electorate on the issue – any discerning citizen would realize impediments no longer obscure in the false sense of security in euro zone and TROIKA cart blanche authority ignoring reality in the harsh austerity.
The political party shift to a position away from the one adopted on campaign trail would be a broken promise when the decision is to serve the purpose other than republic progress.
In this instance Greece cornered without flexibility to restructure financial operations for economic boost besides debt settlement.
The extreme demands necessitate the viable option to reinstate drachma with sound monetary policy and financial as well as economic reform attracting investments in the economy and capital infusion in the banking sector.
The excessive reliance on bailouts from external sources with the pledge to remain under euro zone confined perimeters and TROIKA doctrine as safe haven when results proved to be counterproductive exemplify confidence and trust deficit in self-emergence and competence.
Nations survive and thrive upon sincere commitment to lead and perform exceeding the expectations demonstrated in hard work and integrity as collective responsibility with transparency and accountability to eliminate corruption and contain failures in all endeavors.
The comprehensive financial and economic plan on Greece recovery will be submitted subject to outcome on EU summit and financial discussion between the incumbent Greece administration and the other side.
Greece could FIX IT in the event of GREXIT with pragmatic solutions and disciplined methods blended in inspiration and optimism for economic resurgence.
Greece crisis will be monitored with relevant input until the matter is resolved.
Peace to all!
Thank you.

Greece – TROIKA Diktat Undermine Democracy
July 6, 2015
By Padmini Arhant
Greece was forced into a plebiscite and the people delivered the message with an emphatic NO vote.
Civilized are those who accept victory with humility and acknowledge defeat gracefully in any event.
TROIKA – the lenders direct intervention in Greece or any other nation’s governance is oligarchy exerting authority to stifle democracy.
The referendum rejecting austerity obviously regarded impediment by TROIKA in prolonging the devious debt slavery.
Greece is the initial target for the unscrupulous operatives in TROIKA to eliminate democracy for similar imposition worldwide.
The long conceptualized NWO – the new world order with EU accompanied by euro zone – the second model following the United Nations aimed at stripping nations of their sovereignty.
The moneylenders wells are drying and they want to fill them with Greece and PIGS states citizens tears despite the doomed fate upon TROIKA.
Human folly is presumptuousness and challenging forces when time is against them especially now the cosmic forces presence denying them any such opportunity forever.
I reiterate nothing is meant to exist for eternity in the creation by divine power.
Europe is on the precipice predominantly due to unbridled greed since time immemorial and became prominent through persisting imperialism.
European history is testimony to the fact the rise of feudal system forcing population into slavery to maintain parasitic culture among the self-proclaimed privileged class for their comfort and luxury had to reckon with popular uprising turning into revolution.
The cowardly practice using taxpayers funded police force notwithstanding trained private militia to quell public dissent cannot protect those in ivory tower any more.
I emphasize on the current cosmic time extending into future beyond the obstructionists’ dwarfed existence.
I am not here at the nefarious elements beckon call that I would exit on their insistence to disappear.
As the representative with divine mandate in the preordained divine mission honoring the Supreme power, the Almighty God’s commandment and blessings, I remain committed in the mission to protect humanity and planet from thievery and incessant destruction.
Time is already proving the triumph (TRIAMF) of divine mission over the suicide mission.
Good Luck! to victims of exploitative scheme by TROIKA in defending liberty and sovereignty – the inalienable and non-negotiable right.
Peace to all!
Thank you.

Greece – Plebiscite No Vote Victory
July 5, 2015
By Padmini Arhant
Hello Everyone!
Today has been a remarkable day for Greece.
Greece had a plebiscite on austerity. The people delivered the message with NO vote.
I would like to convey my heartfelt Congratulations to the citizens in Greece and the government headed by Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras, Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis of the political party Syriza along with independent party in coalition representing the people of Greece.
You have truly spoken in the referendum with your NO vote. Your rejection of austerity.
I consider this a victory to Democracy.
Democracy is in action for the fist time in the world standing up against counterproductive policy.
Greece introduced democracy to the world. Once again Greece restored democracy to make people choice relevant.
Citizens in Greece, you have taken a bold decision that required courage and enormous will. You have demonstrated your pledge of allegiance to your country.
Every one of you must be proud of yourself for this incredible action.
The immediate future might be turbulent for you.
You have been through so much in the past 8 years.
You are in a position to weather the storm. This will not be anything as compared with what you have endured up until now.
There is lot of speculation and commentary about what might happen to Greece?
This is directly related to your present and future. All that you need to remember is Greece has been around for a long time well before and during the crisis.
Greece will be able to deal with any problems now on.
You had to go through extremely difficult time. The world witnessed your pain.
Life experience serves as the strength to face any challenges in the long term.
When you reflect on the past you realize that you were able to survive the worst time in your life and now have the resolve not to succumb to any crisis.
The time might appear uncertain with no guaranteed outcome. However, you should not let this become a permanent situation.
Mistakes made in the past are not to be repeated again.
Strong commitment is required to face the upcoming changes and with due diligence, wisdom and perseverance you could transform the economic status from recession to recovery.
You have stood behind the government headed by Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras and the political party Syriza as well as the coalition.
The government will have to move ahead to lead the country in the path of progress.
The first step would be to find financial solutions to the cash strapped economy and emerging out of capital deficiency. Furthermore implementing critical fiscal and monetary policy besides improving macroeconomic conditions and adopting result-oriented strategy are the keys to success.
You will not be alone in this journey.
I will be providing you with a comprehensive guidance and restructuring of the economy for your reference and application.
Unity and collective responsibility would make the task less burdensome.
Greece has taken a new birth with hope that will turn into reality through efficiency and determination to prevail.
Good Luck to citizens in Greece and the government under leadership Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras and others or speedy economic revival.
Peace to all!
Thank you.

United States – July 4th, Independence (?)
July 5, 2015
By Padmini Arhant
United States observed July 4th independence with fireworks and social meeting.
Is there real freedom today?
If so, at what cost is the freedom available?
The tradition on wealth accumulation, power struggle, territorial annexations for dominance and economic warfare through debt slavery continues similar to pre-twentieth century.
The imperialistic ambitions to acquire resources in foreign land persists up until now and crimes against humanity committed with political immunity.
The quest for regional and global conquest is the undying dogma in human race despite death a certainty in life.
Election with unlimited funding from diverse sources bidding on candidacy at the local to national level for exclusive rights and accordingly candidates’ loyalty remaining with campaign donors could not be a democratic process.
When external forces rein control over political system and exert authority steering the nation towards their goals and vested interests leaving the people in economic plight and use the national defense force as private army for delusional aspirations that country is not free.
As for the economy, the legislations predominantly favorable to the wealthiest becoming wealthier at the rest of the population expense widening economic and social inequality could not be claimed as progress.
The incentives and tax benefits to dominant players in the economic sector for creating, retaining and increasing jobs are not delivered due to offshore expansion and activities prioritizing shareholders interests and neglecting the workforce in the domestic front.
With respect to consumers in the United States – health care reform disproportionately adjusted to satisfy health insurance and health industry demands with additional subscribers under mandatory insurance law in the shadow of high premiums and limited options for quality care.
Retail businesses unable to compete and sustain losses in the high unemployment situation.
In the absence of effective tax reform with fair share of taxes, the mainstream population is burdened with the responsibility.
The national budget allocation diverted to preferred expenditure such as military and nuclear proliferation with no desire to lead the world towards ending conflicts in Syria, Iraq, Libya, Yemen and the rest of the Middle East, Africa and Asia.
On the contrary sponsoring terrorism to continue endless violence in Syria, Iraq, Libya and Yemen besides further ammunition supply to dictatorial regimes in Bahrain and elsewhere continues unabated to justify enormous military spending depriving ordinary Americans economic opportunity.
Judiciary functioning on quid pro quo with political establishment is anything but constitutional.
Civil rights infringement with massive surveillance and body scan procedures at the airports on law-abiding citizens strengthened under the guise of national security alongside funding and arming terror networks worldwide.
False flag events shooting unarmed civilians – African Americans in particular combined with police brutality maintained to stir racial discord.
Guantanamo Bay and secret prisons overseas with gross human rights violation considered necessary to shield the real perpetrators behind 9/11 operation.
Environment abuse granting special privileges to leading oil and mining companies, defense, pharmaceutical and other industries are the regular practice.
Social issues and religion exploited to promote political ideology and illusive doctrine. The educational institutions are used as the platform for political propagation and confusion.
The academia prohibiting alternative views on contentious issues concerning the state of Israel and foreign policy ignore reality over fidelity to specific cause.
Communication media and outlets including entertainment industry reserved for misinformation with subversion of facts and history.
The prevalent conditions could not be declared as freedom.
United States independence is challenged due to broken promises and misplaced allegiance.
Liberty and sovereignty are inalienable rights and hence non-negotiable.
July 4th is a reminder to claim freedom from subjugation.
Peace to all!
Thank you.
