Iran – Israel Escalation of War
Padmini Arhant
United States at Israel’s behest and behalf ever remaining at war front against Iran is a lesson never learned from earlier invasions, occupations and wanton provocation in the Middle East and Afghanistan or for that natter worldwide.
Israeli leadership Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu diversion of world attention from Peace establishment in Gaza following Gaza genocide and brutal warfare that is yet to be ended.
Gaza Peace Plan without Palestine in the formation and implementation is meaningless.
Palestine exclusion in Gaza peace process would be a mere political theater without purpose that impetus fair and honest engagement that is inclusive, transparent and non-partisan in initiating peaceful existence of Palestinians in Gaza. By extension in other Palestinian territory viz. the West Bank and East Jerusalem.
GAZA peace proposal devoid of Israel and / or foreign occupation, and importantly lifting Israel’s unilateral economic embargo or any other economic sanctions against Gazans and the rest of Palestine is critical for long lasting peace and success not only in the Palestinian territory, but also in the entire region.
The aggressors in coalition involved in Gaza demolition since 2023 to date…from hospitals to schools, and religious place of worship including civilian residential areas would be the primary contributors in rebuilding and reconstruction of Gaza.
There would be no requirement for Israel and United States to worry about Iran upon peaceful resolution of Palestinian crises.
Meanwhile, aggression against sovereign nation Iran with intention of regime change is a devious political strategy against regional and global peace and security.
Israel’s war footed by United States taxpayers since Israel’s inception to date is a policy judiciously maintained by every administration regardless of republican or democrat.
United States incumbent administration under President Donald Trump commitment in the hard won second term Presidency was to disavow military interventions sparing lives all around, and instead engagement in peaceful negotiations and resolutions on all crises. That pledge is now reversed to air strikes and military incursions is a betrayal of electorate trust.
Upon assuming power, the administrations invariably resign to customary practice and tradition heeding Israel’s lobby and permanent boarding of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Washington to persuade the White House on military action against Iran.
Needless to say, Iran has been tried and tested in this experiment earlier in United States backed Iraq and Iran war lasting over eight years in the past century.
Subsequently, Iran has been the continuous target for Israel and United States by default throughout every administration either by draconian economic sanctions not even sparing infants and neonatal in the execution of policy en masse.
Similar to economic sanctions against children in Iraq to which former democrat Secretary of State Madeline Albright under then President Bill Clinton administration callously responded – as “well justified action” upon being asked by a news reporter on nearly 500,000 Iraqi children lives lost and severely affected from the inhumane sanction.
Likewise, extreme economic sanctions resumed against Iran, depriving children, critically ill population, elderly citizens, and pregnant mothers of medicines, and food among other essential survival items under Nobel Peace Prize winning democrat Barack Obama Presidency from 2009 – 2016.
The former democrat Presidency Barack Obama under the so-called Arab Spring in 2011 until 2016 wreaked havoc in the middle east, North Africa with public lynching of Libyan leader Colonel Muammar Gaddafi in Libya,
Yemen declared the eternal war zone with regional and United States players responsible for Yemeni population with children among them suffering from starvation, preventable disease and premature mortality having devastating impact thus far.
and,
Sudan bifurcated into Sudan and South Sudan triggering political unrest, refugee crisis and humanitarian catastrophe that are left and abandoned as regional conflict conforming to United States post foreign interventions like in Afghanistan leaving the population under Taliban rule to date.
The democrat Barack Obama Presidency as the principal authority in the puppet Biden – Kamala Harris administration instigated Ukraine – Russia war in February 2022 having presided over violent insurrection against democratically elected government in Ukraine in March 2014 in Maidan Square, Kiev that led to Russian annexation of Crimea, and the subsequent meltdown up until now leaving Ukraine in chaos and irrecoverable damage.
The same Barack Obama democrat Presidency using Joe Biden – Kamala Harris administration promoted Gaza war in 2023.
As though they were not enough, the democrat Presidency Barack Obama sought after regime change in Syria to satisfy Israel’s agenda, toppled Syrian President Bashar al Assad and installed al Qaeda terror outfit chief as Syrian President in June 2024, as parting gift to Syrian republic from the former democrat Barack Obama Presidency.
The democrat Barack Obama Presidency not having quite done with inflicting deaths and mayhem worldwide, and behind blood rivers flowing wherever the democrat Barack Obama Presidency set foot whether Middle East, Africa, or Latin America and Indian sub-continent viz. Pakistan is irrefutable trajectory even surpassing predecessors Bush- Cheney and Bill Clinton administrations in invasion and destruction of foreign land.
The democrat Barack Obama Presidency brazen coup dètat against United States and American electorate fielding proxy candidacy Kamala Harris in 2024 Presidential election tops the chart on crimes committed abusing political power albeit long expired in 2016, and prolonged in the blatant unconstitutional resurrection against the nation in world view.
The United States Supreme Court (SCOTUS) ruling heeding foreign affluent powers grievance on the incumbent administration Donald Trump Presidency’s tariff issue, while SCOTUS indifference to the democrat Presidency Barack Obama’s coup dètat against United States and the electorate at large in the Presidential election in November 2024, the undemocratic move against electoral norm in constitutional breach requiring SCOTUS attention abysmally missing in action to date.
Juxtaposed, the democrat Barack Obama Presidency and democrat Congress and Senate pursued the attendees at the Donald Trump peace rally in January 2021, and apprehended many as insurrectionists in the democrat involved Capitol riot in Washington D.C. in January 2021.
Many who were arrested by democrat political echelons with Barack Obama heading the party until now, were sentenced to life and denied bail.
Although, amongst them the innocent after lawful verification were released after four years by the current Donald Trump Presidency in January 2025.
When politics’ as lawmaker is the lawbreaker witnessed in Barack Obama – Kamal Harris coup dètat together with Hollywood celebrity George Clooney against nation in November Presidential election 2024, it is conducted with full domestic and international protection, and political impunity.
The carte blanche authority misused well after expiry of term in office embolden the offenders in abject criminality to commit vicious crimes against those whom they target with no legal, political and social ramifications for the criminal indulgence.
Simultaneously, the gross violations from civil society is subject to the fullest extent of law as experienced by citizens in traffic infarctions to other societal rules that are normally violated by those enforcing on society from City to County, State and national level.
In 2016 Presidential election result, the democrat vehemently denied the electoral defeat, and created major propaganda campaign in the name of Russian collusion.
When in fact, the democrat administration of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton candidacy were immersed in what turned out to be the Russian dossier to trap then Republican Donald Trump candidacy prior to and Presidency upon election.
After pouring American tax dollars collected by unlawful and aggressive means like in the democrat politics run California State,
The Robert Mueller Commission to investigate democrat hyped so-called Russian collusion eventually proved to be a cat and the mouse animation.
The saga continued for four years deliberately disrupting Trump Presidency from running the country with majority time dragged into repeat impeachments and Congressional hearing by democrats, and democrat appointed RINOS like Liz Cheney from Congress and Mitt Romney from the Senate were geared by democrats to avenge revenge on 2016 election debacle.
Fast forward in 2024, the overt coup dètat from democrat former Presidency Barack Obama and proxy candidacy Kamala Harris with Indian polity PM Narendra Modi government in New Delhi undeniable complicity to reap mega advantage via power sharing in the deal is hardly noticed, unlike the rancor on fake Russian collusion against the Republican Donald Trump Presidency.
The democrat dramatized Russian collusion in 2016 staged until 2020 in the futile attempt to make Donald Trump Presidency accidental evidenced in endless Congressional hearings and investigations.
In contrast, there were never even a thought process among democrat Presidency Barack Obama and democrat political class to hold the predecessor Bush – Cheney accountable for anything from economic disaster to foreign policy blunder, and plethora of explosive humanitarian, social and environment violations that democrat party claim to champion, in the otherwise more of the same if not worst performance in the entire Barack Obama Presidency and democrat majority Congress and Senate 2009 – 2016 resumed in 2021 – 2024.
The Russian collusion hoax prompted the democrat Barack Obama Presidency to impose sanctions against Russia.
In contradiction, the New Delhi PM Narendra Modi government pact with Barack Obama fielding Kamala Harris in coup dètat against United States is not necessarily considered foreign interference in United States’ domestic political matter.
The democrat Barack Obama Presidency led democrat party only mission is to invalidate Donald Trump Presidency, the former persistent efforts ignoring United States electorate mandate in 2016 and 2024 is at best hopelessly impulsive, though 2020 was controversial and exemplified as lame duck administration controlled from behind.
The political hypocrisy is ad nauseam in the so-called democracy.
The hostility heightened on Israel’s demand during first term Donald Trump Presidency, with United States direct involvement in the assassination of Iran’s military commander of the Quds force Qasem Soleimani in 2020.
Yet another assassination was carried out by Israel eliminating Hezbollah leader and political party member in Lebanon – Hassan Nasrallah in 2024.
These events and developments under democrat and republican administrations abundantly clarify on;
Who is the existential threat endangering human lives, environment amid democrat alarm on global warming while remaining significant contributors in world carnage, destruction and carbon emission, other than regional, and international peace and security?
The invaders and interventionists elucidated above⬆️
or,
The nations targeted, decimated, and violated via merciless economic sanctions transformed to economic warfare against civilian population in all these nations, and pursued with relentless air strikes, use of nuclear laden depleted uranium missiles in Iraq, white phosphorus in Gaza, exhausting western artillery and military inventory using these nations as testing ground on weaponry potency and effectiveness.
Any reasonable mind as a human being barring race, religion and other classifications would identify the conspicuous enemy of humanity and global peace.
It is definitely not Iran.
Accordingly any escalation of violence and military intrusion against Iran would not deliver anticipated outcome by Israel and United States as proxy.

CAR – France Illegal Invasion Along With AU And UN Intervention Exacerbate Crises
January 18, 2014
By Padmini Arhant
The unnecessary communal clashes between Muslims and Christians in Central African Republic has provided false pretexts for former colonial power France to invade the nation enriched in mineral resources with UNSC authorizing African Union and UN troops presence in the war torn country.
Since France illegal intervention in Central African Republic on December 5, 2013 similar to operation in West African Mali and North African Libya in 2012 and 2011 respectively, the situation in foreign powers invaded states has deteriorated contributing to humanitarian crises and political turmoil.
Yet the western proposal to deploy more military personnel continues with EU now considering sending 1000 forces to Central African Republic to foment further violence.
The imperial agenda to militarize African continent claiming to restore law and order proved catastrophic at national and regional level notwithstanding destabilization justified as democratic means creating chaos and confusion wherever and whenever possible.
Central African Republic in semblance with neighboring states has invited problems prompting foreign interference rather than seeking reconciliation within setting aside political and religious differences in entire population interest.
The Seleka fighters having ousted former President Francois Bozize and President Michel Djotodia recent resignation evidently promote colonial aspirations declaring CAR – failed state in the inability to end externalized internal conflict.
Any nation dealing with bloodshed from sectarianism and ethnic confrontations need to prohibit weapons supply to rebels, militias and terror networks while adopting non-violence strategy for resolution with legitimate opposition unlike foreign backed disingenuous representation.
The doctrine to settle disputes among tribes, minority and majority segments with foreign aggression involving military outfits and air raids designed to favor prominent powers defense industry vying to escalate tensions in war ravaged nations through constant flow of arms and ammunitions to all sides in the form of generous military aid.
Central African Republic Parliament preparing to elect transitional leadership exercising diligence in choosing interim government pledged to national unity could be instrumental in averting foreign occupation.
The prolonged combat attributed to rising death toll and massive displacement of people fleeing villages and towns in the ongoing unrest.
The trend to subjugate nations cares less about civilian casualties and human suffering resulting from foreign intrusion espousing dominance for unlimited access to natural endowments.
Central African Republic infighting obviously facilitates foreign expansionism leading to surrender of sovereignty.
Instead members from Muslim, Christian and other denominations recognition of national strength remaining in solidarity and accordingly unanimous agreement to disavow hostility amongst them could be the preliminary step towards saving lives that in return would guarantee peace and stability.
The political system demonstrating sincere commitment to citizens’ safety and improving economic conditions utilizing national wealth could deter domestic and foreign threats to topple governments engaged in positive development.
Corruption being integral part of dysfunctional political performance, earnest measures introducing transparency and accountability without exception is fundamental to initiate and implement reforms across the spectrum.
Again political disturbance often emanating from parallel powers quest for global control could be thwarted identifying elements responsible for disruption and appropriate approach to prevent precedence in the near future.
The people in North Central African country – CAR deserve peaceful existence with national potential to alleviate poverty, hunger and various economic as well as social woes that are self-inflicted allowing foreign imposition of rules undermining independent status.
Best Wishes to Central African Republic in overcoming challenges with unified resolve and acceptance of national diversity as an asset not liability in republic empowerment.
Peace and Prosperity to Central African Republic!
Peace to all!
Thank you.

International Political Event – Presidential Election And Inauguration

Pakistan – Presidential Election
Congratulations! To President Mamnoon Hussain elected to represent Pakistan.
Pakistan’s democratic experience is not without trials and tribulations especially post election resulting in political factions dissatisfaction with electoral process.
Pakistan stability is linked with containing violence emanating from terror networks and anti-democratic forces funding Takfiri elements aimed at national and regional destabilization.
The leadership commitment in ending United States drone strikes producing civilian casualties would determine public trust on the incumbent power.
Upon eliminating militancy and extremism premised on fundamentalism, sectarian clashes and cross border terrorism could perhaps be laid to rest.
Pakistan uphill battles comprise combating corruption and recovery of national income held in overseas bank accounts through tax evasion.
Additionally, building economy to improve living conditions is not unique to Pakistan.
However, the political dynamics with foreign interference under the guise of military aid hinder economic revival.
Hopefully the current government headed by Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and President Mamnoon Hussain would introduce effective strategies to redress burgeoning violence restoring calmness and peace necessary to reach milestones in national goals.
Wishing Pakistan citizens and President Mamnoon Hussain dawn of peace and tranquility.

Iran – Presidential Inauguration
Iran – Congratulations! To President Hassan Rohani on the Presidential inauguration as 7th President of Iran.
Under the newly elected Presidency, the Iranian electorate choice for reformist candidacy over others is a mandate for moderation.
The voters’ aspirations to evolve and emerge from constraints and convictions are dependent on developments in the near future.
United States and EU unlawful sanctions exacerbates mainstream normal existence with access to medicines and other essentials restricted due to financial blockade disabling payments processing and transaction facility for free flow of trade in international market.
The unilateral western decisions lacking in fairness and legitimacy unnecessarily targets innocent victims across the nation.
Nonetheless, Iranian resolve in enduring arbitrary rule is evident in efforts exploring options to overcome crises.
Inflation and higher unemployment draw attention amongst various challenges in the economic front.
In other areas of governance, the common problems shared worldwide such as corruption and mismanagement in different branches of government pose impediments to real progress.
With hopes and expectations, the nation looks forward to fresh beginning and optimism in domestic and foreign relations minimizing tensions for positive outcome.
Best Wishes to people of Iran and President Hassan Rohani in addressing issues of the nation.

Zimbabwe – Presidential Electoral Dispute
The re-election of ruling party Zanu – PF governed by long serving President Robert Mugabe once again contested by opponent Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai.
The contender declining to concede in the latest national polls could be resolved in independent re-assessment of voting mechanisms with appropriate measures to avoid prolonged disputes now and later.
Despite previous experience in 2008, the top electoral official resignation in disapproval of existing polling method and inconsistency reveals the election commission lack of coordination and preparation.
Had inherent flaws been identified earlier and addressed effectively, the status quo might be different and any disagreements may not be related to voting irregularity.
Nevertheless, leaderships vying for power seeking amicable settlements could save lives with mass support behind peaceful reconciliation.
Zimbabwe leaders rational approach in national interest could deliver viable solution.
Good Luck! To Zimbabwe electorate and leaderships in finalizing political victory via communication and dialogue rather than confrontation.
Peace to all
Thank you.
