Greece – Economic Crisis And Troika Deal or Extortion?

By Padmini Arhant

The ongoing economic crisis in the Mediterranean country Greece originated from the sub prime mortgage debacle in the United States in December 2007.

The hedge fund and international securities traded by investment firms nowadays as equity management companies viz. Goldman Sachs then engaged in Greece is initially responsible for Greece economic recession due to bad decisions and directives including misrepresentation to creditors at that time.

Goldman Sachs along with many financial institutions behind gross mishandling and mismanagement triggering economic bleeding in early 2008 experienced earlier in Iceland and endured until today in Greece, Portugal, Spain, Ireland and Italy viz. PIGS…in Western and Northern Europe were bailed out with no stipulations and granted taxpayers funds exceeding trillion in the United States treating the cash payout to bankers as their privilege.

Subsequently the global economic meltdown with severity in Europe weighted down Greek economy tied with euro zone.

The euro as the national currency in Greece and throughout EU excluding England with over optimism on the common unit has failed to deliver the value pegged to the unstable and superficial commodity.

European Union policy of austerity on Greece strangling the country with demands on economic reforms primarily favoring the international creditors viz. International Monetary Fund (IMF), European Central Bank (ECB) and European Commission (EC) or EU presided financial package essentially behind Greece default.

The troika imposed austerity to streamline spending in the absence of economic growth stimulants in Greece evidently debilitated the cash strapped nation.

The two bailouts to Greece in 2010 and 2012 €240 billion ($272 billion) substantially expended in servicing the debt to international lenders viz. the troika – IMF, ECB and EC as well as the financial institutions with stake in Greece rather than direct investments in the economy promoting employment and business prospects for the citizens across the country.

The massive layoffs, salary cuts and pension reductions in compliance with EU bailout requirement further exacerbated the economic situation.

Following the adverse effects of austerity, the Greek electorate elected the anti-austerity political party – Syriza headed by Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras forming the coalition government with the independent party in Greece.

The ruling party in Greece consistently maintained negotiations with international lenders since election on January 25, 2015 alongside systematic improvement in reform focused on alleviating poverty and adopting strategy to satisfy obligations on the bailout program.

The troika conditions to incumbent government request on the six months extension to bailout deal deserve attention.

Greece approached the international lenders aka Troika to grant from the profits on ECB held Greek bonds to meet the immediate financial needs. The fund €12 billion ($13.4 billion) was scheduled as the offer.

In that amount €1.6 billion ($1.79 billion) payment to the IMF on June 30, 2015 was the priority and now that date has expired. Another €6.7 billion is to be settled with ECB in July and August.

Greece was offered a possible bailout not intended to relieve the economy from deterioration instead to enable Greece to pass that amount €1.6 billion ($1.79 billion) to IMF as loan payment at exorbitant interest rates and prepare for payments to ECB within weeks of receiving the third bailout amount.

Greece essentially used by lenders to profit from lending through money circulation amongst them under the pretext of rescue scheme with Greek citizens forced to bear the lending costs and high interest.

1. Reducing pension payments that would only affect consumer spending with impact on retail business and ripple effects on the wholesale and manufacturing on domestic products while restricting import from EU and abroad.

2. Increase Value Added Taxes (VAT) – in the dire economic environment, the average consumers forced to pay more taxes in addition to hikes up until now to payback lenders is an extreme measure contributing to consumer woes and limiting business activity in return.

3. Military Expenditure cuts – perhaps setting the stage for complete NATO control over the nation.

4. Privatization of country’s airports – the proposition from EU and lenders is a deviation from relevant options and subscribe to ulterior goals.

In response to international lenders harsh austerity imposition;

Greece Government reforms comprised – efficient tax collection methods, social security system and streamlining government bureaucracy. The additional steps included anti-corruption and promoting business as well as backing privatization in the economic sector.

As a result of Greece government and Troika failure on the agreement, the referendum on July 5 is expected to reject or accept EU, ECB and IMF rigorous austerity.

Despite Greece administration’s numerous concessions and adjustments to accommodate EU and lenders chronic treatment evidently a flawed recommendation,

The lenders declined the roadmap that had 70 percent of Troika trails and 30 percent Greece government shelter to save the economically deprived population from abject poverty.

Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras has called the nation for NO vote on EU austerity in the upcoming referendum.

The last minute overtures from the Greek leadership to EU and creditors has been in vain.

Greece citizens need to understand the entire scenario and act accordingly to relieve them from the persisting economic calamity and potential power vacuum paving way for EU and partners to install the government of their choice like in Ukraine.

The present Greece government is poised to resign upon YES referendum to EU and international creditors ultimatum.

EU and creditors stringent austerity on economically struggling nations has been counterproductive. Yet there is no acknowledgment from them and the hard line approach towards Greece is similar to the neighbor Cyprus account.

Cyprus bailout was tied to closure of the nation’s second largest bank, Laiki Bank and a 47.5 percent cut on deposits over 100,000 euros at the Bank of Cyprus for recapitalization.

The same formula was applied to Iceland problem and led to brink of economic collapse.

Cyprus capital Nicosia was hamstrung like Greece now and Cypriot parliament pushed into first post-bailout budget prior to receiving €83 million as installment payment from Troika in late 2013 and early 2014,

The austerity on Cyprus was identical to instructions to Greece – pensions and salaries were targeted with the outcome being dramatic escalation in poverty and unemployment in the country.

Interestingly Troika projection on Cyprus economic status after EU and euro zone austerity was the gross domestic product contraction to 7.7 percent in 2013.

IMF, ECB and EC/EU prolonged austerity only tightens the noose around citizens to submit to unreasonable unaffordable trend.

IMF and World Bank legacy in transforming developing nations to banana republic as it happened in Argentina, Panama, Chile, Indonesia and Mexico…are few of many countries drawn into the debt dragnet.

The developments against Cyprus and Greece serve as strong reminder for the people to protect their sovereignty.

The international creditors regrettable actions thus far confirm the reputation as predators ignoring the fact that austerity alone without revenue not viable for economic recovery.

Greece is confronted with EU and euro zone pursuit to topple present government for the stance against austerity based on reality.

If the referendum on July 5 anything like the event on Scotland independence with fraudulent means generating the predetermined outcome, Greece future would be bleak.

EU attempt to expel Greece government with Prime Minister Alexis Tspras is tactfully deployed creating circumstances for the government to seek people consent on EU austerity in the background of Syriza party elected to power to spare the citizens from economic plight inflicted via austerity.

In a way EU’s tactical move is to turn people against the government with Troika officials not entertaining Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras modified reforms to satisfy lender’s extraordinary gains from human misery.

Greece would survive the economic and political storm on its shores in returning to original currency – drachma for euro survival is not possible considering the lenders’ and EU irrational economic growth resistant strategy crippling economies to the point of no return.

Greece was the first nation to introduce democracy to the world and when democracy is threatened by forces to unseat the caring government that prioritize people over self-interest, the citizens must rise to the occasion and safeguard liberty that would then guarantee economic progress.

Greece voting NO to austerity on July 5 and retaining their honor by rallying with the current government opposed to EU plan that denies decent wages, pensions and business opportunity for jobs would demonstrate fairness prevailing over darkness.

Troika deal is nothing more than extortion exploiting the critical moment in Greece.

Greece defiance to EU and international banks austerity is the saving grace.

Greece unity to proudly defend the country from overt control under the guise of monetary aid would prevent Greece economy from free fall.

The clarion call to Greece is to back your government under the leadership of Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras and alliance to overcome the external challenge.

The major stumbling block is EU and euro zone membership with inherent complexity such as any submission on economic matter is subject to review, debate and approval by every other member state parliament and political consensus within.

The irony – EU preaching austerity hardly observes the tradition with EU officials and delegations appointments and salaries being an extravagant affair.  Even to hire the EU appointee, the amount spent in the recruitment process is not less than million euro. 

EU insistence on fiscal discipline exempt them from the protocol. 

Good Luck and best wishes to Greece and the government of Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras in the speedy economic revival as an independent nation.

Peace to all!

Thank you.

Russia – Hegemony Mirror Reflection Confirm Self-Deception

By Padmini Arhant 

Mirror, Mirror on the Wall – Please tell the world – Who is the fairest of all?

The mirror responded with a smile – The self-proclaimed monarchy with Kings, Queens and Zars representing Kingdoms and Fiefdoms thriving on opulence at taxpayers’ expense,

The monetary institutions viz. the Federal Reserve in the United States, Bank of England, ECB, EC, EU, the Deutsche Bank, IMF, the World Bank and alike stranglehold on individual and global economy depleting national treasuries attributed to economic bankruptcy, poverty, hunger and disease,

The Trilateral Commission and Council on Foreign Relations comprising oligarchy, plutocrats, political dynasties and imperial remnants dictating foreign policy or, 

The self-created hierarchy such as P5 + 1 – permanent members of the United Nations Security Council holding veto power for territorial annexations and unfettered access to natural resources  – The combined forces leaving behind misery, melancholy and mayhem since time immemorial could not be the fairest in the world when they rank the worst of all parallel to none.

Following the article on Ukraine – One Nation, Independent and Indivisible with Liberty And Justice for all  – published on the website i.e. www.padminiarhant.com,

The hegemony contemporary leading actor Russia was prompted to expedite Crimean seizure from Ukraine.

Accordingly, the Russian authorities influenced Crimean officials to appoint new pro-Russian Premier Sergei Aksyonov exerting authority over security, political and economic structure in the region in utter disregard for Ukraine constitution while proudly claiming the action in concurrence with Russian Federation Constitution.

The swift transition of Crimea from original semi-autonomous region nonetheless governed by Ukraine constitutional law to independent state to justify hastened referendum and thereafter declared sovereign state of Russian Federation with a treaty signed by Russian authority incorporating Ukraine’s southeastern territory as part of Russia. 

Ukraine crisis began with legitimate leadership and government headed by President Viktor Yanukovych declining to sign the Association Agreement with EU in lieu of economic ties with Russia.

The Ukrainian President patriotic stance not only cost the leader’s job but also the country’s sovereignty and territorial integrity with hegemony representatives’ pretentious standoff dramatized to convince impressionable minds and captive audience when in reality the complicity amongst them overshadow the scripted performance.

Russia’s initial reaction to Ukraine unrest was the post Soviet Russia not interested in meddling in Ukraine’s internal affairs and nevertheless got involved explaining the move as protecting Russian assets and interests in Crimea.

Prior to Russian troop deployment around 16,000 in Crimea, the Crimean members in Parliament openly extended support to Ukrainian President Yanukovych urging the deposed government as lawful governing body.

Furthermore, the pro-Russian President Yanukovych was never favored by Russia despite the Ukrainian leader’s commitment to forge trade relations with the neighbor. 

Again, the Ukrainian President and family lives being threatened by hegemony organized elements in Kiev, they sought refuge in Russian port city Rostov on don across Crimea.

The Ukrainian leader during the first press conference since violent removal from power expressed that Crimea was governed by Ukraine constitution with Crimean political representation in Ukraine Parliament.

Upon recommendation to reinstate Ukrainian government led by President Viktor Yanukovych to defuse political turmoil in the embattled state, Russian foreign ministry rejected the proposal as not suitable.

The showdown between major powers constituting hegemony is farcical considering preconceived destabilization goals shared among them to split Ukraine to respective participants advantage.

United States and EU installed groups in Kiev to advance economic strategy and Russia in southeastern border taking possession of Crimea reveals coordinated efforts in disintegration process. 

Besides Russia’s consistent cooperation with western partners on international issues enumerated in the preceding article on this website titled – Russia is Hegemony Trump Card to Rescue Imminent Imperialism Decline on March 17, 2014,

Russian economic and EU energy interdependency could not be underestimated and there is recognition on both sides in this context.   Accordingly any tensions between them are suggestive of misguidance spreading confusion.

Russia having cited Kosovo independence from Serbia in 2009 as justification for development in Crimea raise poignant question about Russia’s future plans in the Mediterranean given Russian naval base in Syria’s second largest coastal city Tartous.

Would Russia arguably as hegemony’s prominent nuclear power then quote Crimea in territorial expansion in Tartous, Syria?

Russian President Vladimir Putin delivered televised speech to the nation subsequent to signing treaty in incorporating Crimea.

The excerpts of the speech are presented for relevance and clarification.

“Our Western partners headed by the United States prefer not to be guided by international law in their practical policies, but by the rule of the gun.”

“They have come to believe in their exceptionalism and their sense of being the chosen ones.  That they can decide the destinies of the world, that it is only them who can be right,” the Russian President said. 

The subliminal message not directed at the United States but targets the challenger to Hegemony and Imperialism.

Appropriately they are addressed for clarity to dispel myths on the divine humanitarian mission. 

The reference ‘international law’ is euphemism for Hegemony long aspired – New World Order i.e. surrender of republic and sovereignty to One World Government regardless of the premise and policy proved counterproductive not to mention the indoctrination resulting in fait accompli.

Likewise the connotation ‘the rule of the gun’   is aptly applicable to hegemony using violence as means evident in UNSC resolutions with Russia voting for military aggression against weak and vulnerable nations in Africa viz. Mali and Central African Republic in recent memory.

Russia’s eminent contribution Kalashnikov – widely known as AK 47 and atomic bomb invention by Hungarian physicist Leo Szilard in London along with counterparts in 1933 has claimed innocent lives worldwide and continues to endanger lives on earth.

Contrarily the accused otherwise the resistance force dedication to peace and non-violence as the only alternative to warfare and terrorism throughout engagement in humanitarian service would remain the defiant truth now and beyond.

As for insinuations on ‘exceptionalism and sense of being the chosen ones to decide the destinies of the world and that it is only them who can be right’ is perhaps the mirror reflection of the source in denial of self-image and legacy.

Moreover the privilege could not be conferred on anyone except those verifiably as Imperialists and UNSC permanent members i.e. P5 + 1 barring others from membership to exclusive club repeatedly exercise veto and nuclear option in addition to economic sanctions to subjugate nations seeking freedom from oppression or foreign invasion.

Russia’s failure to avert three bombings aimed at public transportation every occasion in October and December 2013 in Volgograd is tragic for the victims and survivors in the safety compromise affecting Russian Bear reputation.

In conclusion, the leopard changing spots would not make the wild specie any different especially with predominant predator instincts surfacing whenever possible to satisfy insatiable appetite.

Hegemony desperate measures expedite feudal system decline conforming to virtues triumph over vices in the establishment of peace and progress.

Wishing the world liberation from destructive rule and empires espousing dominance.

Peace to all!

Thank you.

Russia – Hegemony Trump Card To Rescue Imminent Imperialism Decline

By Padmini Arhant

(The Article Presented with Addendum in blue highlight).

The Syndicate doctrine is two sides of the coin – heads and tails designed to favor the shadow power. 

The premise prominent in political campaign viz. United States and similar proxy governance worldwide to suit hegemony agenda. 

Hegemony latest tactic involves pseudo opposition to Washington primarily to convince the world as challenger to status quo.

However in reality the cooperation between major powers – Washington and Moscow in this context are locked steps on all major issues invariably leading to anchored goals for strategic dominance.

Since Russian President Vladimir Putin assumed formal position as head of the Russian Federation following election in 2012, the Russian authority decisions on international crises arguably met hegemony satisfaction.

They are enumerated according to global events in recent memory.

1.  North Korea – UNSC Resolution imposed economic sanctions against North Korea. The five permanent members viz. United States, Britain, France, Russia and China unanimously voted to exacerbate North Korean population suffering in the Korean peninsula. 

2. Mali – UNSC Resolution on France invasion of the West African nation, Mali – Again all members along with EU approved military aggression and Moscow providing logistic support in the operation.

3. Central African Republic –  UNSC Resolution on France troop deployment in Central African Republic – Russia and counterparts authorized Resolution 2127 mandating military intervention.

4. Syria – Russia honoring EU, United States and allies arms embargo on Syria withheld prepaid military consignment especially S-300 despite for exclusive defensive purpose.

The measure consequently facilitated more than two Israeli air strikes laden with nuclear component targeting Syrian scientific and research center as well as other interests near and around the capital, Damascus in 2013 notwithstanding many casualties and infrastructure destruction.

5. Syria – Moscow initiated agreement with Washington yielded Israel, United States and Saudi Arabia aspired chemical weapons disarmament from Syria without multilateral enforcement on real perpetrators i.e. the sponsors of terrorism and five chemical attacks in the war torn nation. 

6. Iran – Russia in compliance with Untied States and Israel’s objection indefinitely postponed S-400 delivery to Iran regardless of the latter advance payment on the deal. 

7. Russia –  On 20 December 2013, Russian President Vladimir Putin pardoned oil tycoon Mikhail Khodorkovsky at EU and Israel’s behest.   The oligarch held on corruption charges visited Israel soon after release from prison to reconnect with business associates from the previously owned oil corporation Yukos for revival.

8. Russia –  Kremlin’s tolerance or the lack thereof to free speech surfaced in disguise with suppression of alternative press in the otherwise predominant state owned or represented broadcast media. 

Synonymously on social trend whether federal response to undocumented immigrants in Moscow or anti-gay rights movement upends democratic prospects in the failure to guarantee pervasive fairness and equality in society.

9. Jordan – Russian aummition supply to Jordan – one of the key players enabling terror networks operation against Syria not necessarily considered conflict of interest ignoring subsequent provision to mercenaries for easy access.

10.  Egypt – Hegemony instruction to Washington to suspend military aid to interim government in Cairo – engaged in confrontation with pro-Morsi supporters and further accused of violent crack down essentially reestablished by Moscow.

Egypt’s defense minister and potential Presidential candidate Field Marshal Abdel Fattah al-Sisi during Moscow visit signed weapons contract worth $ 2 billion offsetting $1.5 billion United States assistance maintaining Israel and military industrial complex respective policy.  

President Vladimir Putin officially endorsed the visiting dignitary for Egypt Presidency in the anticipated Presidential election.

11.  Russia – The Southern Russian city Volgograd bombings in less than two months duration in October and December 2013 conforming to false flag terror incidents linked Islamic states such as Dagestan and Chechnya…in North Caucasus region seeking autonomy and independence from Russia.

12. Palestine – Russia relations with Israel and relevantly the controversial settlement expansion comprising settlers from Russia, Poland and other states in Eastern Europe serving as deterrence in the seven decades old peace process with Moscow refraining from active participation or exerting influence on Russian ally Israel. 

13. Cuba – Russian President Vladimir Putin strengthened ties with Cuba through debt forgiveness waiving 90 percent of $ 32 billion including $ 20 billion in fees and accrued interest originating from former Soviet Union transaction. 

The quid pro quo typically encompasses the remaining 10% payment i.e. $ 3.2 billion over 10 years from Cuba in addition to accommodating Russia’s military presence in the Caribbean nation.

Such developments are indicative of Russian leadership prevalent ambition to reinstate former Soviet tradition in pro-Russian territories around the world.

The fact of the matter is whenever foreign powers occupy nations – the occupied country surrender republic statehood and transformed into colony.

In this particular accord between Moscow and Havana – Is Cuba sovereignty valued at only $ 28.8 billion rather than being non-negotiable exemplifying liberty as invaluable?

14. Russia – Nuclear testing continues unabated in correlation with United States proliferation and likewise conventional arms trade exponentially increased escalating human rights violation in volatile and oppressed conditions world over.

Russia focus on economic opportunity in nuclear power plant technology and equipment viz. reactors to developing nations neglects Fukushima generated environment disaster besides fostering possible nuclear arsenal pursuits in the long run. 

15. Ukraine – Considering Russian intelligence apparatus with former KGB dissolved into covert and overt espionage activity nonetheless sharing information in the areas concerning domestic and regional security among neighboring states apparently overlooked United States and EU infiltration to derail democracy in Ukraine.

Hegemony divide and conquer strategy in the removal of democratically elected government in Kiev allowed on Russia’s watch promoting Crimea disintegration from Ukraine.

Finally, the paradoxical paradigm utilizing Russia and United States in congruence to hegemonic mission evidently the last hope to rescue inevitable and imminent extinction of feudal system espousing imperialism.

Good Luck! To humanity in protecting individual freedom, national sovereignty and territorial integrity.

Peace to all!

Thank you.

Ukraine – Crimea Secession And Western De facto Representation in Kiev Is Opportunism

By Padmini Arhant 

The current developments in Ukraine emanating from EU response to President Viktor Yanukovych decision to decline the Association Agreement with EU and subsequently,

United States as well as EU backed coup against democratically elected government has unraveled events much to sponsors dismay and Ukrainians despair.

EU and United States organized anti-government protests since November 2013 up until removal of President Yanukovych in late February 2014 not only led to deaths and destruction of a sovereign nation but also facilitated extremism.

The unsavory emergence forging alliance with apparently pro-Nazi and fascists elements confirmed to be behind sniper and grenade attacks against police and protesters during demonstration.

The interim representatives in Kiev having driven elected members in Ukraine Parliament and President Yanukovych administration using threats and violence do not have any recognition among Ukrainians and global society.

 Aside from not respecting sovereignty, the national constitution governing democratic principles seriously violated in this instance.

Such representation tantamount to proxy rule benefitting forces with vested interests leaving Ukraine citizens beguiled of political and economic freedom.

The members in position of authority at present as opposition groups earlier defaulted in the EU brokered agreement with President Viktor Yanukovych and escalated tensions in public square to deflect attention from real motives to derail democracy in Ukraine.

Despite certain political leaderships in the United States and EU support to the illegitimate and extraneous government in Kiev, 

The lack of credibility being the defining character amongst prevalent EU and United States de facto arguably disqualifies them from the self-proclaimed title as governing body in Kiev.

Hence the hired political faction in Kiev to implement EU and United States agenda do not possess electoral mandate or consent to sign any deal with EU or United States and attempts in this regard would further clarify allegiance to foreign sources at Ukraine’s detriment constituting treasonous act.

Not to mention the subjugation of population as a result from EC, ECB and IMF viz. the Troika financial offers designed for generational indebtedness replicating EU states experience with no sign of recovery. 

The viable solution to burgeoning crises in Ukraine is to reinstate President Viktor Yanukovych government to restore law and order along with stability eliminating security concerns across the country that has prompted Crimea secession process.

Crimea in the southeastern region of Ukraine initially set up as semi-autonomous territory nonetheless binding with Ukraine constitution recently declared independence through haste political overhaul electing pro Russian premier Sergei Aksyonov and Parliament motion to hold referendum on joining the Russian Federation.

Crimea also hosting Russian naval fleet in Black Sea with treaty allowing the guest troops presence not exceeding 25,000 utilized with Russian deployment in the range of 16,000 presumably to defend Russian assets and crew including residents in the Crimean peninsula claiming Russian lineage.

The situation in Crimea unequivocally attributed to unrest in Kiev and undemocratic dismissal of President Yanukovych government sparking widespread clashes in the sensitive areas of Crimea and eastern city Donetsk.

Russia’s overture welcoming Crimean Parliamentary approval on plebiscite for union with former alluding to the latter right to exercise discretion as independent state could provide opportunity for the eastern region in Ukraine to follow suit setting precedence in deserting Ukraine amid chaos and confusion inevitably affecting neighbors peaceful existence.

Instead of subscribing to frantic efforts on Crimea, Russian and Crimean leadership skills could perhaps serve positively upon pursuing constructive course to revive Ukraine’s democracy under siege and perseverance in restoring political legitimacy via President Viktor Yanukovych headed government.

Besides slighting Ukraine’s constitutionality in Crimea’s transition, the expedited vote on amalgamation with Russia lay overcast on Russian President Vladimir Putin assurance to the world at the press conference in honoring Ukraine’s territorial integrity.

The latest measures in Crimea generate unnecessary perception of Russian influence to modify geopolitical landscape although the trendsetters in Kiev share responsibility for the quagmire. 

In the ongoing political upheaval, Ukrainians are expected to pay unaffordable price with major powers evidently anchored on respective goals in defiance of Ukraine as the republic.

Crimea moving forward with politically motivated action to secede from Ukraine is counterproductive enabling pretexts for more turbulence in the otherwise preventable turmoil.

The safe passage for Ukraine is solidarity in rejecting status quo in Kiev and invite President Viktor Yanukovych to resume power fulfilling complete term in office required to address issues confronting the embattled nation. 

Accordingly Crimea abandoning separatist plan to merge with Russia and contributing to Ukraine’s liberty from external intervention would thwart uncertainties surrounding Ukraine and entire region.

Again prioritizing Crimean aspirations over pervasive progress and tranquility may not guarantee desirable outcome.

Crimea and Kiev are integral part of Ukraine. 

The foreign interference with unelected authorities in Kiev and simultaneously Crimean swift relocation within Russian confines exacerbate Ukraine’s vulnerability to opportunism.

Hopefully Ukrainian discernment and resolve to free Ukraine from foreign intrusion would prevail in Kiev, Crimea and the rest of the nation.

Best Wishes to people in Ukraine in protecting their homeland from partition and vassal statehood.

Peace to Ukraine!

Peace to all!

Thank you.

Ukraine – One Nation, Independent and Indivisible With Liberty And Justice For All

By Padmini Arhant

The political mayhem in Ukraine due to EU and United States intrusion for ulterior motives viz. debt slavery and strategic dominance in the region deserves Ukrainians attention and solidarity in defending sovereignty and territorial integrity.

Imperialism modus operandi is polarization, subjugation and depravation leaving the nation at oligarchy and plutocracy mercy as experienced amongst EU and United States citizens under the guise of democracy legitimized through election – the process exercised as catharsis. 

EU and United States appointed illegitimate government premised on violence causing death and destruction is now engaged in marginalization and disenfranchisement of ethnic groups in the country. 

The empty promises from EU representatives portraying EU as savior when the member states (PIGS) – Portugal, Italy, Ireland, Greece and Spain among many others in the Union are in severe economic recession.

EU, ECB, EC and IMF  prescription to ailing European economy driving citizens in Greece, Italy and Spain…to commit suicide in public square is testimony to Troika  policy failure.

Besides extreme economic conditions across Europe, EU, ECB and IMF signature austerity measure evidently stranglehold on nations like Greece, Spain, Italy and France with record unemployment and nearly zero economic growth under EU mismanagement.

EU having contributed to existing members burgeoning financial and economic woes engaged in luring new memberships in Eastern Europe deploying unscrupulous tactics such as in Ukraine.

Additionally EU’s actions thus far involves fomenting violence in Libya when France and Britain under NATO along with United States using humanitarian assistance as pretext carried out relentless air raid then pursued Syria with proxy war followed by illegal invasion of minerals rich nations in Africa viz. Mali and Central African Republic and now causing political turmoil in Ukraine.

The western intelligence agencies especially CIA, MI5, MI6 and Mossad in alliance with allies and adversaries counterparts maintain the tradition of organized crime with immunity. 

Furthermore the ominously disorganized, erratic and out of control intelligence apparatus responsible for human suffering  predisposed to exclusive service to corrupt and criminal enterprise and misused by those in position of authority.

Accordingly the broken system facing extinction analogous to dying machinery becoming symptomatically dysfunctional endangering operator and users alike.

The situation in Ukraine aimed at fragmentation with ethnic clashes erupting in the western, eastern and semi-autonomous southern region i.e. Crimea hosting Russian naval fleet on the Black Sea and latest developments in this location suggestive of autonomy in jeopardy.  

The ongoing tensions could be eventually costly and counterproductive for purveyors and participants of unrest.

Ukrainians rejecting EU and United States launched unconstitutional and undemocratic proxy rule in Kiev and restoring democratically elected government headed by President Viktor Yanukovych would exemplify population pledge to democracy similar to popular intervention against foreign coup in Venezuela and Ecuador in the unsuccesful attempt to remove late President Hugo Chavez and incumbent President Rafael Correa respectively.

The foreign intrusions in Ukraine for vested interests bear ill consequences already unfolding in national detriment and largely attributed to external forces recruited provocateurs and saboteurs of truce declared between President Yanukovych and the opposition. 

Violent usurpation to power allowing foreign control in internal affairs is surrender of sovereignty to belligerence.

Ukraine gained freedom from foreign occupation after many martyrs sacrifice and losing the hard earned status today on the basis of false economic assurances from EU- the Union barely surviving given diminishing prospects owed to deception and exploitation.

Ukraine belongs to all Ukrainians regardless of cultural diversity and languages spoken in different parts of the country.  

The nation that resolves political, economic, social and environment concerns in a civilized and constructive manner in adherence to democratic principles and constitutionality barring foreign interference would demonstrate maturity and commitment to overcome challenges without compromising stability and national security.

Ukraine coming together as one nation – independent and indivisible could perhaps guarantee liberty and justice for all.

Best Wishes to Ukraine citizens for peaceful recovery from foreign opportunists manufactured crises.

Peace to Ukraine! 

Peace to all!

Thank you.

Ukraine –President Viktor Yanukovych led Government Return to Power Paramount For Ukraine Democracy

By Padmini Arhant

EU and United States incited violence in Kiev with hired operatives and western intelligence agencies infiltration caused recent deaths among violent protesters and security personnel transforming the once peaceful nation into political mayhem.

United States and EU sponsored demonstrators occupied government buildings and used grenades as well as ammunitions turning the capital into war zone. 

The elected government requests to occupiers to vacate the premise were ignored with extremism surfacing when police officers taken hostage at foreign instigators behest.

In contrast, United States and EU suppressed Occupy Wall Street and citizens peaceful assembly in the respective domains with brutal force and arrests enlisting many on FBI and synonymous watch list exhibiting zero tolerance to public dissent on ailing economy and life threatening austerity.

Meanwhile, the so-called opposition representing EU and United States usurped power chasing away elected members of Parliament analogous to wild herd ransacking the village sparing none upon contact.

The world witnessed EU and United States demolition of democracy deploying terror and deceitful tactics to overthrow democratically elected government for declining to sign the Association Agreement with European Union.

EU illegitimacy with imminent dissolution exemplified lately considering the organization preoccupation in destabilization of sovereign nations through economic coup d’état, authorizing weapons flow to terror networks in Syria and military aggression in Mali and Central African Republic. 

EU and United States interference in Ukraine internal affairs aimed at removal of incumbent government from office to install proxies for ulterior motives flagrantly in violation of Ukrainian interests notwithstanding the involvement reflective of the sources political system under the guise of democracy.

Ukraine President Viktor Yanukovych represented government is to be reinstated to avert cataclysmic events on the horizon due to EU and United States organized unnecessary and unwarranted turmoil in the independent Eastern European state.

President Viktor Yanukovych is the elected leader and ousting government for hegemonic reasons disregarding constitution, democratic values, ethics and international law legitimize criminality and unruly conduct in public square.

Ukrainians pledged to defend sovereignty and individual freedom need to come forward and reject the external forces appointed government that has no recognition from law abiding and civilized soceity within and outside Ukraine.

Ukraine has been fraudulently seized by current political members sworn allegiance to entities and crime syndicate determined to split the nation for economic and strategic goals that has nothing to offer except potential civil war and prolonged economic recession driving population into abject poverty.

For example – South Sudan separated from Sudan under unscrupulous policy of United States, Israel and partners seeking geopolitical dominance has led to internal confrontations resulting in hundreds of casualties and thousands displaced leaving the newly emerged nation in bloodbath and political quagmire.

The regime change legacy for imperial aspirations evidently devastating to victims and aggressors alike with citizens on all sides forced to bear the brunt of economic woes arising from divestments in promoting violence, terrorism and unilateralism threatening global security and territorial integrity.

Ukrainians failure to expel belligerence and those behind besiegement disrupting government functions could mean surrender of sovereignty to misguided elements lacking wisdom, discernment and capability to resolve serious issues confronting the nation.

Ukraine at present essentially political pawn for geopolitical maneuver in EU and United States stratagem unwilling to acknowledge or practice democratic principles in the illusive pursuit of ambitions not guaranteed to come into fruition.

The miscalculation in the aftermath of collapse of economy and political structure is unfortunately crusaders hallmark despite disastrous experience.

Ukraine government headed by President Viktor Yanukovych return to power presiding national reconciliation amongst genuine opposition and ruling authority with republic participation respecting national protocol imperative for political and economic stability.

Any other factions enforced by EU, United States and alike on Ukraine would not prevail in the targeted mission.

Wishing Ukraine swift recovery from political turbulence reverting to earlier governance under President Viktor Yanukovych and ministers assigned in adherence to democratic process.

Peace to Ukraine in successful elimination of foreign catalysts responsible for status quo.

Peace to all! 

Thank you.

Ukraine – EU and United States Coup d’état Confirm Reality in Respective Domain

By Padmini Arhant

Ukraine Parliament replaced with pro-western lawbreakers projecting rapid changes in the last twenty-four hours misleading the Eastern European nation towards abyss at EU and United States behest. 

The euphoria following political upheavals in the EU and United States instigated demonstrations characterize the sponsors state of mind raising serious questions on the ill-conceived strategies to remove democratically elected government from office.

EU brokered deal lacking in credibility with the so-called opposition non-compliance on the agreement confirm illegitimacy and impropriety amongst members representing the decaying syndicate.

The criminality behind Ukraine coup d’état blindsiding Presidency exemplifies contemporary powers disdain for real and functioning democracy endangering global stability and security. 

These incidents evidently clarify EU, United States and allies political system far from being democratic considering direct involvement in destabilization of sovereign nations through staged protests, sanctions, proxy wars using terrorism and drone attacks preying on innocent children, women and vulnerable citizens in foreign land.

Similarly EU, EC, ECB, IMF, WB, Federal Reserve, Bank of England, Deutsche Bank, UNSC, NATO…and ICC and alike are fundamentally flawed with unscrupulous policies aimed at economic insolvency and surrender of sovereignty. 

These organizations serve imperial aspirations justifying illegal invasion and occupation of nations for their natural resources, depleting citizens savings accounts witnessed in Cyprus, Greece and other EU member states, selective indictments promoting hierarchy and last but not the least predisposed to anti-republic governance worldwide.

Hence dissipation and dissolution of institutions engaged in causing immense human suffering disrupting peaceful existence is imminent based on ominous indulgence exerting authority for vested interests across the globe.

United States complicity and failure to prevent September 11, 2001 terror attack on American soil notwithstanding the pledge shielding actual perpetrators from accountability with generous monetary and military aid at victims’ expense facilitate terror manufacturing and deployment to prolong status quo. 

EU, United States and UNSC bear responsibility for merciless killing of citizens denying them basic food and medical supplies due to unlawful embargoes and financial restrictions crippling economies of many nations besides military aggression against former colonies and countries regarded adversaries for strategic and economic gains in the region.

Not to mention the prison camps reminiscent of gulag perhaps even worse conditions experienced by detainees in the infamous Guantanamo Bay and many secret torture bases in Eastern Europe and war torn nations like Afghanistan confirm United States, EU and alliance legacy that essentially redefines democracy.

EU and United States as former and current imperialists respectively committing heinous crimes against humanity until now hardly qualify to condemn human rights violation.

United States in particular having allowed the murder of 3,000 and more Americans on 9/11 and thereafter above a million in Afghanistan and Iraq plus casualties in every false flag event around the world forging strong ties with Israel and Saudi Arabia – the participants and beneficiaries of 9/11 terrorism depict the insignificance of own and foreign citizens lives to the political establishment. 

Moreover, United States and EU partners Israel and Saudi Arabia reputation in oppression, persecution and terror recruitment is no secret to the world. 

The only difference is they are rewarded with U.S. tax dollars and lucrative arms contract to maintain tradition in the occupied Palestine spreading throughout Middle East and elsewhere.

EU members France and Britain together with United States role in Libya, Syria, Iraq, Mali and Central African Republic recently has contributed to death and destruction inflicting immeasurable tragedies on defenseless civilians with no end in sight.

In light of dismal track record on human rights, EU and United States intrusion in Ukraine or for that matter anywhere under humanitarian pretext is subversion and exploitation of human plight. 

United States and prominent EU states architects, masterminds and leaderships are desensitized to genocide authorized by them via economic and diverse warfare world over. 

Global inaction and tolerance to injustice purveyors and infrastructure exacerbates misery and embolden tyranny.

The systemic abuse of power and betrayal of public trust indicative of civilization decline and ultimately lead to source extinction.

The simple choices are to renounce obsolete and redundant practices for greater good or succumb to folly – the inevitable outcome to counterproductive pursuits ignoring irreversible repercussions. 

Peace to all! 

Thank you.

Ukraine – Agreement Using Protests And Sanctions Legitimize Undemocratic Process

By Padmini Arhant

The latest agreement reached between Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych and opposition leaders Oleh Tyahnybok, Vitali Klitschko and Arseniy Yatsenyuk along with European Union ministers from Germany, France and Poland sets dangerous precedence in undermining sovereignty.

Ukraine authorities obliging EU and United States demands on amnesty to violent protesters, releasing those responsible for death and destruction in the past three months, resignation of Prime Minister Mykola Azarov, reverting to 2004 constitution and early Parliamentary as well as Presidential election apparently not adequate to western sponsored demonstrators in Kiev’s Maidan Square.

The reverse events on EU and United States from Ukraine would have prompted typical response i.e. economic sanctions together with all options on the table.

Regardless EU imposed travel ban, assets freeze and several other restrictions on Ukrainian officials not barring impeachment possibility on incumbent President despite compliance to foreign entities unreasonable ultimatum. 

The developments in Ukraine deploying EU assertions on non-EU member state unravel EU illegitimacy and the apparatus preoccupation in self-defeating mission.

EU and United States instigated unrest in Ukraine spare no opportunity in spreading violence, vandalism and vehement disrespect for democracy.

Again EU and United States colossal failure to revive economy, contain soaring unemployment and unprecedented rise in poverty for industrialized nations among many contentious issues has led to unconstitutional and undemocratic means like dragnet surveillance to suppress any uprising in their domains.

Yet EU and United States intervention in sovereign nations’ internal affairs to destabilize and balkanize territories aimed at restoring feudalism to maintain parasitic tradition.

The main strategy is proxy rule installation for remote control over political system and economy. 

The trend utilizing local and imported factions to stir tensions in the target nations promotes democracy premised on allegiance to sources representing the shadow power that epitomize corruption and criminality. 

Ukraine citizens and leaders from different cross sections of society rejecting foreign interference with ongoing transition legalizing unethical practices is imperative to safeguard freedom and sovereignty.

Allowing foreign usurpation dictating terms and conditions on Ukraine is an invitation for disaster. 

The meddling forces viz. EU and United States would not entertain similar intrusion although the mismanagement and gross neglect of economy, environment and consistent violations of international laws in the respective destinations adversely impact global security and progress.

Ukrainians renouncing foreign incited aggression for democratic values sharing common goals especially improving economic conditions could facilitate effective measures from the democratically elected government.

Contrarily the foreign reinstated authorities currently appointed to serve anti-republic interests leaving the population in misery and perpetual discord favoring external operators agenda. 

The political stability of any nation is largely dependent on citizens’ awareness and preparedness to resist foreign elements unsavory policies directed at destruction for subjugation.

National problems resolved among people elected government and opposition rather than outside influenced intimidation tactics reflect strong and mature democracy withstanding pressure from within and offshore groups harboring turmoil for specific ambition and dominance.

Ukrainian future lies in elimination of foreign organized disorder and terror moving forward towards solidarity movement in cooperation with democratically elected leaderships prioritizing economic growth, alleviating suffering due to various disparities and importantly unrelenting to compromise sovereign status.

Best Wishes to Ukraine in preserving independence and democratic institutions sanctity devoid of foreign indulgence capitalizing on political turbulence. 

Peace to Ukraine! 

Peace to all!

Thank you.

Ukraine – Ending Unrest And Foreign Intervention Critical To Defend Sovereignty

By Padmini Arhant

Ukraine unrest emanating from EU reaction to Ukrainian leadership postponement of Association Agreement with Brussels has resulted in unnecessary loss of lives and destruction to government and public property.

EU and United States instigated anti-government demonstration has evolved into extremism determined to lead the Eastern European nation towards civil war.

Despite several concessions from President Viktor Yanukovych such as amnesty to violent protesters, release of rioters charged for infrastructure damages and shooting incidents in Kiev’s Maidan Square, resignation of Prime Minister Mykola Azarov and many round of talks involving opposition leaders that led to truce two days ago only to be rejected by foreign influenced operatives deployed in the country.

President Yanukovych has also agreed to early Parliamentary and Presidential election in 2014 besides amendment to constitution on Presidential power. 

With no reciprocation from the other side, EU and United States sponsored anti-government rally has attracted radical elements further escalating tension in the embattled state.

Meanwhile, EU and United States unilateral and illegal sanctions against Ukrainian officials ranging from assets freeze to travel ban and restrictions on export of anti-riot equipment to Ukraine clarify the western powers motives to destabilize sovereign nation.

The dangerous trend from EU and United States pose imminent threat to global security and sovereignty of nations targeted for removal from power due to resistance to external forces agenda.

United States and EU having neglected their national issues as well as member states devastating situation respectively beginning with economic woes, education, health care, relief to environment disaster victims and myriad problems in every aspect, the intervention in Ukraine is a serious setback for western democracy. 

Ukraine is an independent nation with democratically elected government and foreign interference in internal affairs evidently counterproductive.

The opposition in Ukraine regardless of political affiliation and ethnic background share common identity with pro-government citizens as Ukrainians and accordingly bear equal responsibility to protect Ukrainian interest exemplified by the incumbent administration under President Viktor Yanukovych on EU deal and measures to curb current turmoil. 

Even though excess compromises on government’s part generating impression among instigators as weak governance, the opposition’s lack of commitment to end confrontation and besiege facilitating foreign nations’ plan to prolong status quo.

When foreign powers seize opportunity to cause turbulence using local factions, the entire nation experiences consequences with adverse impact on political and economic stability exacerbating population suffering in the otherwise preventable crises.

Ukraine opposition and participants in the uprising renouncing ties with foreign entities and instead accepting government proposals to engage in peaceful resolution is a viable option and could deliver favorable outcome to all.

The dismissal of peaceful discourse choosing aggressive means at foreign nations behest would not guarantee success for the opposition considering the goals premise and repercussions upon Ukraine succumbing to western manufactured disorder.

Hence, the concerned parties across the spectrum in recognition of Ukraine as homeland and pledging allegiance to preserve territorial integrity against foreign tide critical to retain individual liberty and potential economic development.

Wishing Ukraine leaderships and civil society expeditious recovery from foreign organized terror and unjustifiable embargo of various kinds to cripple economy. 

May God bless Ukraine with unity and strength to overcome challenges in all frontiers.

Peace to Ukraine!

Peace to all!

Thank you.
