World – Power is Intoxicating

World – Power is Intoxicating

Padmini Arhant  

Israel – The Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu saddled with corruption charges upon return to office attempts on judiciary overhaul tied to personal interests halted as of now.

The quest for power overrides national interests triggering nationwide protests to save democracy.

What is about to ensue in the aftermath of judicial reform rested on its track?

Is the Prime Minister’s withdrawal an abandonment of the controversial executive action?

Or,

Is the retreat a temporary pause to calm the rising tidal wave across the spectrum in Israel only to surreptitiously surface sooner than later?

The interlude delaying the judicial reform as opposed to departure from empowerment of executive position would be a major political risk for any leadership not excluding a seasoned political figure like Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu with enormous ambitions for power.

Overarching power to silence democracy and undermine the nation’s highest judicial authority i.e. the Supreme Court arise when the powerful not content with people granted power through electoral mandate subject to checks and balances to avert current situation and unnecessary turmoil.

The urgent need to overhaul judiciary to protect own position is an explicit expression of guilt felt and experienced from underlying corruption charges leading to extra judicial execution of power in Israel right now.

The overt assumption of office bearer of the highest office as the absolute power in direct violation of democratic system primarily endanger the soul of democracy and constitutionality governing legislative,  executive and judiciary in the independent and combined political edifice.

Anytime action exceed norms to gain more power quelling dissent demonstrated in the arbitrary dismissal of own cabinet defense minister Yoav Gallant for sharing concerns and calling for rationale, the inner turmoil within is prominent and impetus impulsive reaction.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu priority prior to suspension of the bill to overhaul judicial power misconceived false safety zone to circumvent legal proceedings on corruption charges while remaining the cause for cavalier approach arousing national opposition against the embattled decision.

However, the guilt for doers never dissipate rather exacerbate in living and beyond.

Accordingly, overhauling of judiciary and extreme measures cannot possibly absolve the source from responsibility to face due process in observation and respect for none are above law in a democracy.

Neither denial of guilt nor extraordinary measures to curb democratic means would deliver desired outcome. The might is right strategy has invariably backfired for anyone set in the treacherous trail.

United States – Extortions and Hypocrisy

March 21, 2023

United States – Politics Witch-hunt

Extortions and Hypocrisy 

Padmini Arhant

The interesting details on events corresponding to Presidential terms 2009 – 2016 and 2021 – 2023 till date in office is noteworthy.

The major United States and international banks on the target during Barack Obama Presidency then and now.

BNP Paribas – The French International Bank headquartered in Paris with presence in 65 countries settled on June 30, 2014 nearly $9 billion with then U.S. Department of Justice headed by former Attorney General Eric Holder on charges as criminal plea for facilitating bank transactions for nations under U.S. economic sanctions. The nations quoted are Sudan, Iran, Cuba.

NB: The Barack Obama Presidency a year later in July 2015, released US $100 billion to Iran citing contingent to nuclear deal much to neighbor and arch nemesis Israel’s fury and frustration.

Wells Fargo – United States’ one of the largest banks headquartered in San Francisco, California was another target in 2013, 2016 under Barack Obama Presidency extended into 2021 until now.

Wells Fargo was initially reported in 2013 – during Barack Obama term in office on the bank’s “widespread illegal practice of secretly opening unauthorized accounts.” and fined by Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (a federal government arsenal on political witch hunt than serving consumer real issues) fined the bank $100 million in September 2016.

Fast forward in December 2022 – the Wells Fargo Bank in the Bay Area California was pursued again upon return of Barack Obama defacto Presidency displacing Biden administration.

This time the financial institution was charged $3.7 billion in settlement on charges of wrongful banking practice in auto loans, mortgage and variety.

On personal account – my experience in this regard due to unlawful political intervention from the White House at that time in 2011 – 2013  resulted in loss of investment assets in real estate that were verified and confirmed in independent inquiry on the dealings. The bank was not Wells Fargo.

In 2023 – Upon Barack Obama return to power, the Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) in Silicon Valley, California again one of the largest banks serving the Silicon Valley tech industry collapse in the manufactured crisis.

The SVB event propagated as a major fiasco and wildly spread in recent dissemination reverberating in the Presidency surrogate podcast and Indian social domain by design with New Delhi counterpart as alter ego coordination. 

The multi billion dollars from international banks specifically BNP and United States financial institution Wells Fargo cited in the above mentioned events during Barack Obama Presidency

The settlements in billions of dollars BNP – approximately $9 billion and Wells Fargo $100 million in September 2016 and $3.7 billion in December 2022 received by then Department of Justice (DOJ) under then Attorney General Eric Holder directly serving under Barack Obama administration and later transaction in 2022 merit accountability and audit to ascertain the funds return to U.S.Treasury. 

Here are the interesting connections between me – Padmini Arhant and the banks sought after during Barack Obama Presidency then and now which is conspicuously more than a mere coincidence. 

In the early years of my professional career – I briefly worked for BNP Paribas in the late 1980’s in Melbourne Australia. Subsequently I continued my career in banking industry in Wells Fargo, San Francisco, California in 1990. 

Now the Silicon Valley Bank is tied to my Silicon Valley base though I have no affiliation or link to the bank.

I wonder if I happen to live on the moon, would there be a Bank created on the moon and intentionally designed to crumble?

Regardless of the selectively targeted above financial institutions’ activities and charges against them to which I have no connection or relation only highlights inappropriate political motive in the Presidential pursuits.

It is clear to me the political bullying and harassment associating my personal and professional career background with institutions notwithstanding extortions under the pretext revived reminiscent of unethical indulgence in 2009 – 2016. 

The practice conveniently evading transparency on funds receipt by government in power and deposit or the lack thereof to relevant department between 2009 – 2016 and 2021 – 2023 till now. 

What is next for Barack Obama expired Presidency 2009 -2016?

In my professional career – I also worked for international banks – Bank of Singapore and National Australia Bank in late 198o’s in Australia. 

Are they going to be pursued now by defacto Barack Obama Presidency having resumed action against Wells Fargo Bank in 2022 in continuation of the past action against the institution in 2016. The latest being Silicon Valley Bank in 2023. 

FYI – Barack Obama Presidency 

My late father was a Chief Executive for international airline British Airways – with whom he had life time career.

Is that going to be in the line of target as well in slew of politically charged unscrupulous actions misusing the office of Presidency and public funded federal agencies for reasons other than intended purpose?

The latest statement from the democrat Senator Elizabeth Warren emphasizing on none are above law and necessary indictments are appropriate against the former President Donald Trump in the continuous saga between democrat political party and former Presidency of Donald Trump.

In that context, the legitimate question arise concerning a citizen of the United States and the members in the highest office.

When is the open public investigation with indictments scheduled against the Obamas – Michelle and Barack Obama in the incident involving the unarmed civilian African American Miriam Carey – the young mother mercilessly gunned down with 25 or more round of bullets by White House secret service personnel per authorization from the Oval Office?  The D.C. police joining the shooting spree.

Justice maneuvered to suit political bias is serious assault on constitutional based democracy unfortunately under siege right now.

India – Election Fraud

March 17, 2023

India – West Bengal 2021 Bypoll 

Padmini Arhant

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee projected as rival and so-called opposition to national political party BJP and incumbent in New Delhi, the former role in the state’s bypoll in 2021 is noteworthy for two reasons.

1. For voter awareness and awakening in the Chief Minister’s own state – West Bengal.

2. Another scene play with script and performance at national level is ready to roll in general election in 2024.

The 2021 bypoll in West Bengal – the ruling party Trinamool Congress (TMC) wins comfortably against national political party BJP with a large majority in the State Assembly headed by the Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee.

Now individually, the TMC candidate Mamata Banerjee contested from two constituencies rather than just one – breaking the tradition held from 2011 – 2021.

In that bypoll – the West Bengal State assembly candidate Mamata Banerjee contested from her original home turf Bhavanipur against BJP’s female candidate interestingly bearing the name Priyanka Tibrewal.

Mamata Banerjee is reported to have won a major victory against BJP’s Priyanka Tibrewal with a margin of 58,832 votes in Bhavanipur constituency.

Source: The Hindu News – thehindu.com

October 3, 2021.

“Mamata Banerjee back in Bengal Assembly with Bhabanipur win

Bengal Chief Minister registers record margin of 58,835 votes over BJP’s Priyanka Tibrewal.”

In the same bypoll in 2021, the candidate Mamata Banerjee contesting in a different constituency Nandigram where she did not have a firm footing or popularity given voter grievances against the TMC chief is challenged by BJP’s male candidate Suvendu Adhikari who reportedly defeated Mamata Banerjee by 1956 votes. Though not a substantial margin, the defeat of Mamata Banerjee by BJP’s male candidate is registered important.

The difference in margin of votes in victory and defeat of Mamata Banerjee in two different constituencies deserve attention from voters in West Bengal and Indian electorate en masse for present and future reference.

The Bhavanipur constituency delivering victory to Mamata Banerjee is a wide margin 58,832 votes giving Mamata fancy wings to fly with BJP in national contest as defacto. In a way flattery and adulation in politics is never enough.

Contrarily, in Nandigram constituency, the low key 1956 votes a mere digit higher than Mamata Didi’s birth year is assigned to the loss to safeguard Mamata Didi’s image in West Bengal and national politics that is tarnished and damaged in controversial Sarada financial scam used by BJP against Mamata Didi.

The typical arsenal for sitting Indian Prime Minister and Home minister against members within and outside  political establishment, institutions and organizations they target for nefarious goals. 

These two glaring distinctions in the so-called electoral outcome in this bypoll in West Bengal is litmus test on electoral process legitimacy dismally  failing as it is clearly indicative of refined calibration of results to suit political manipulators strategy. 

That’s unfortunately the sad fate of Indian democracy and election credibility having become nothing more than a number for easy political maneuver however possible.

TMC Chief Mamata Nanerjee winning by significant margin against BJP’s Priyanka Tibrewal is attributed to Mamata Banerjee as the candidate. The rival BJP’s Priyanka Tibrewal on the other hand is the proxy nominated as Padmini Arhant by BJP losing miserably in the make-believe contest.

Simultaneously, BJP’s male candidate Suvendu Adhikari winning against the candidate Mamata Banerjee now this time is apparently Padmini Arhant.

The deeply insecure incumbent Prime Minister of India is using political factions and proxies to gain satisfaction from bizarre ridiculous imaginary swaps again borrowed from the masters to witness and rejoice my loss in elections that I am no part of  to begin with.

The same scenario is ready to be rolled out with none other than TMC Chief Mamata Banerjee cast as me i.e. Padmini Arhant with incumbent BJP Prime Minister candidate defeating Mamata Banerjee as Padmini Arhant with a landslide margin in 2024 national election.

That’s the reason TMC Chief Mamata Banerjee is advised to remain aloof from the rest of the opposition and announced the solo bid in 2024 general election to aid Indian PM’s devious agenda.

Indian incumbent Prime Minister, Home Minister and so-called political opposition in India kow-towing to international clique, their masters in global arena are reminded once and for all on status quo between you and me and that is explicitly fait accompli.

Accordingly politics squandering public taxpayers money in pseudo elections against me to serve egotistical megalomaniacal political aspirations is lunacy reflecting desperate times seeking desperate downfall – the current stark reality. 

What the TMC Chief Mamata Banerjee as the state’s Chief Minister must explain to voters in West Bengal and Indian electorate at large is the quid pro quo between West Bengal CM and Indian PM.

What exactly transpired between the two members prompting Mamata Banerjee to engage in 2024 national election as a single candidate?

What kinda of rewards promised and agreed to for this performance earlier in 2021 West Bengal bypoll and the one organized in 2024?

Indian democracy as such long been subverted and laid to rest. The political theatrics by the ruling and so-called opposition only deceive voters in West Bengal or any state and national electorate.

Indian politics is in serious crises with corruption, power struggle and plutocracy in governance.

Finally, reiterating earlier statement that I’m Padmini Arhant. My name is Padmini Arhant and not whoever wherever whatever name they choose for me that would be my identity. Such charade only confirm politics in fools paradise.

I say to Indian and international polity – the incognito in particular presiding over the ignoramus identity swap imposed on me as their prerogative.

I need no more namkarans – christening with any names of your choice or random naming which is.a serious violation of my individual right in identity theft mania ultimately hurting all those involved without exception in severe karmic effects.

India – Declassify Information

India – Declassify Information

Padmini Arhant

While fake news and incessant propaganda continues unabated on alleged threat to incumbent Prime Minister’s position and life,

When the contrary is true in abuse of power committing crimes with impunity throughout political career till date.

Indian politics – the ruling and so-called opposition collusion and complicity on many national issues is the norm. Among them, the electoral bonds inviting flurry of unlimited funds and illicit financing from anywhere nationwide and across the globe auctioning democracy and election is a leaf plucked out of yet another so-called democracy branch.

The United States’ Supreme Court ruling on unlimited corporate and special interests’ cache cashing in on political candidacy from top to bottom i.e. Presidential race to municipal, city and mayoral election is political establishment cash trove.

Indian incumbency raucous on sedition charges with slogan coined as Tukde Tukde gang translated as disintegration mob referring to one of Delhi Universities’  Jawaharlal Nehru Unuversity (JNU) students isolated and profiled on unsubstantiated sedition allegations.

In the backdrop of Indian politics unanimity in many critical national issues whether flouting democratic rules and principles in electoral process via controversial electoral bonds or evading surrender of illegal wealth stashed in offshore tax havens and exotic island nations by political class across the spectrum setting precedence for the rest to follow in economic, entertainment and religious cult,

Indian political unity at the state and national level in the non-disclosure of pertinent facts in the following matter concerning India and Indian republic especially in 75th anniversary of Indian independence celebration raise these questions.

The subject is related to none other than India’s nationally and internationally renowned patriots and iconic legends in their own rights who significantly stood up to colonial rule to free India from colonization.

India’s freedom movement leader Mahatma Gandhi – assassinated by RSS associated Nathuram Godse.

RSS – the fundamentalist organization never shying away from deal making with then imperialists for individual and Hindutva ideological interests had a member Nathuram Godse pulling the trigger on the leader Mohandas Karamchand Gandhithe pioneer of non-violence independence struggle energizing the freedom March pre-1947.

India’s other proud son – the brave and tenacious Subash Chandra Bose having challenged British Raj oppression until his mysterious disappearance albeit known to Indian polity regardless of party affiliations such as Congress and BJP as two major national political parties seated in power since independence as dominion republic and until now.

Last nonetheless relevantly India’s exemplary political leader and office bearer – Prime Minister Shri Lal Bahadur Shastri who practiced righteousness and anti-corruption valuesoxymoron in politics share similar classified information tag.

Then Prime Minister Shastri hailing the soldier and farmer in the famous slogan – Jai Jawan Jai Kisaan was genuinely a populous leader at that time. Subsequent to ending India – Pakistan war in 1965 with ceasefire and signing peace agreement to that effect in January 1966 in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, the Indian PM is declared no more the day later.

Indian politics together with international ally summed up the contentious issue as heart attack behind Indian PM Lal Bahadur Shastri sudden passing away in Tashkent, Uzbekistan – then under former Soviet Union in 1966.

In 2023,

Are the Indian political leadership in New Delhi and political party BJP along with so-called opposition in Parliament and state assembly prepared to come forward and declassify information on unnatural cause of deaths of all three leaders?

Their sacrifice for the nation they endeared were exemplified with utmost commitment towards liberty and sovereignty?

1. What is the compelling factor for Indian politics to have accepted foreign and internal forces versions on all three leaders’ deceased status that remain highly speculative till date?

2. To whom are the Indian political class obligatory and pledged secrecy under oath in maintaining paradoxical data on India’s proud sons as veteran leaders and soul of Indian freedom?

Nottwithstanding Indian politics’ dismissal of Indian republic awareness on their leaders popularly known as Father of the Nation,

The leader Subash Chandra Bose creating Indian National Army defending self-determination of his nation and citizens against foreign subjugation and,

India’s truly honorable Prime Minister Shri Lal Bahadur Shastri whose words to the nation were translated into action and whose actions reflected unity and progress for entire country.

The late Prime Minister Shastri also a visionary who acknowledged farmers and soldiers as two guardian angels for a nation unlike the contradictory treatment of both defense personnel and farmers today under current national leadership and administration.

3. Finally, What is going to take besides courage and integrity for Indian politics at the national and state level to declassify real factual information behind unnatural deaths including one known assassination of these three leaders?

India – Banks’ Bankruptcy

India – Banks’ Bankruptcy

Padmini Arhant 

NB: The following message aptly fits plutocrats running the gamut in world stage. The loot and scoot culture is a revolving door returning to old habits not die hard instead declining death and contrarily revival to rip off average folksthe fair game and easy target for plutocracy and kleptocracy.

Indian politics run by plutocracy and kleptocracy need to look no further than pay attention to own house in disarray. 

Indian national bank viz. State Bank of India, Life Insurance Corporation of India… among large national banks and financial conglomerate serving specific corporate interests viz. Adani, Ambani, Tata  Vedanta groups and alike…granted free unlimited unfettered access to squander public savings, insurance and annuities held in the finance and insurance industry. 

The worst among government involved banks’ bankruptcy is the government aided fugitives syphoning public funds held in savings and deposits leading to major Indian banks such as the Punjab National Bank and similar ones nationwide shuttered shattering ordinary depositors trust and life earnings leaving them on the lurch with some even committing suicide from the trauma earlier in demonetization and thereafter in series of banks’ insolvency. 

Whatever is left in financial sector in India doubled down with leading corporate entity i.e. Adani groups rapid down slide in stock market with national impact considering New Delhi central government magnanimity handing the Adani companies ownership of national assets from airports to seaports, farmlands, mining areas…pretty much national landmass to one or two corporate empires since assuming office in 2014 until now.

The New Delhi national leadership legacy contributing to super wealthy status of Adani, Ambani and selective plutocrats are hardly a matter of pride rather treasonous to the nation and citizens at large. 

Accordingly, shunning own reflection cannot make the mirror show image other than the one in it. 

Getting own house in order prior to wanton indulgence to shame anyone in nuanced nonsensical charade is the least expectation from those who are in no position to engage in mud-slinging using any pretext. 

Indian politics and their recruits IT sleeper cells on social media – realization in this regard is important.

The crony sycophant political punditry on New Delhi payroll fromTamil Nadu in particular is reminded on propaganda claiming any well substantiated factual information on debilitating Indian affairs viz. political, economic, social and environment status presented in this site and sub-domain an attempt to derail New Delhi national leadership is nothing more than evading accountability on abysmal performance in the past nine years only worsening as time goes by.

Above all, the political punditry in Tamil Nadu introducing self as Senior journalist is further enlightened on the national leadership current situation.

Anyone lying flat on their face shrouded in doom and gloom require no external interference in the self-chartered precipitous fall accompanied by sycophant punditry and servile contingency landing in bottomless pit.

Editorial – Politics – Plutocracy displace Democracy

March 8, 2023

Politics 

Plutocracy displace

Democracy

Padmini Arhant

Plutocracy (wealthy as the ruling class) displacing democracy is contemporary politics.

The political members claiming humble modest background on campaign trail and at debut achieve multi-millionaire economic status in one term if not more.

The corporate run politics rewarding political members with positions, titles and monetary benefits for their exclusive commitment in mutual gains, the corporate tycoons together with their beneficiaries in politics reaping harvest in management appropriately mismanagement of public money is institutionalized culture.

With corruption ruling politics, the political class assumption on above law on own crimes and unlawful indulgence abusing self-granted political impunity aside, the political witch hunt on opponents and anyone regarded threat to status quo is the proud definition of authority.

Plutocracy is antithesis to democracy with 1% dominance over 99% exerting carte blanche jurisdiction.

United States Health Care Reform – March 2010.

In the United States, the Affordable Care Act aka Obamacare in Health Care Reform passed and made effective in March 2010 with compulsory health insurance subscription linked to severe penalty upon failure to do so is cash cow for health care and health insurance industry.

The Affordable Care Act today is the most unaffordable even prior to health care reform. The federal benefits to taxpayer is reaching the health insurance and health care industry trove rather than helping the insurer with deductible and out-of-pocket expense set at insane level.

The Affordable Care Act has enabled health care and health insurance industry to exploit insurers with no service at phenomenal contributions to health plan enriching the health care, insurance industry and politics facilitating the bonanza for the industry.

The disciplined healthy are targets to make up for insurance and health care industry harvesting via unreasonable pricing and stipulations in the lucrative Affordable Care Act. 

The factual information published in this regard and other issues relatable to individual and public experience on government policy not delivering the desired outcome and contrarily counterproductive is incontrovertible.

Any objection and intolerance to sharing genuine concerns attracting indecent disposition and asinine  display in social domain is unequivocally fascism and further affirm plutocracy displacing democracy.

The public discourse on this issue.

1. “Why do doctors not like Obamacare?
It puts the onus on us to determine which patients have paid premiums.” Valenti said this provision is the main reason two-thirds of doctors don’t accept ACA plans. “No one wants to work and have somebody take back their paycheck,” he said.Aug 1, 2019.”
2. Why did people not like the Affordable Care Act?
They oppose the mandate that all Americans must have health insurance (the individual mandate), and they oppose a government role in health care.”

The 1% super wealthy involvement is not limited to minding and controlling politics. In fact the power extended beyond political parameters such as interference in public health witnessed and experienced in COVID pandemic.

The wealthy interjection of surplus wealth in bizarre scientific experiment like gain of function research aimed at profiteering in ramifications not excluding fatalities and serious health complications from the virus.

The monopoly exercised in elixir distribution and preventive methods during the pandemic clarified the extent of global monopolists direct and indirect intervention in ordinary public life.

To make matters worse, the globalists agenda decided in secret collusion in discreet meetings with selective members on invite only barring real press and investigative media to discuss and implement goals concerning humanity at large;

Whether great reset in re-configuration of financial sector in the global economy eliminating cash economy regardless of adverse repercussions to vast developing nations worldwide with overwhelming population surviving on daily wages and minimal income in cash transactions,

Notwithstanding the banking industry under financial sector promoted by government deriving extraordinary income from mandatory bank accounts with minimum balance requirement depleting ordinary people savings and exorbitant interest on borrowings only applicable to 99% and among them the middle class and the rest subject to strict banking rules that are exempt for voluntary violators fleeing country with government aided security as fugitives in exotic locations of their choice in certain countries,

Or

The unleashing of pandemic overlapping with financial great reset tied to global economic freeze attained in global lockdown in the wake of manufactured health disaster evidenced in the virus leak from wuhan virology lab in Hubei province in China.

The systemic abuse of power witnessed in politics is a sample of plutocracy effects on democracy.

The global population generated wealth together with natural endowments in multi-trillions transferred to concentrated segment in global society representing 1% is day light robbery.

The financial markets adjusted and maneuvered to meet and suit expectations of those in control at the apex is yet another plutocratic dimension.

The plutocrats grip on financial markets prohibit market dynamics to function in real terms creating superficial market performance either in volatility or hyperbolic gains designed to maintain superfluous flow to those in control of global treasure.

There is no doubt as stated previously in this website and sub-domain, the fair economic empowerment to middle-class and poor is denied in plutocracy governance.

In plutocracy, elevation, sustenance and viable living standards and conditions through stable growth and progress to middle-income and lower economic strata is persona non grata i.e. unwelcome.

As a result, the middle class and the poor pay enormous price burdened with generational debts serving plutocracy enrichment with the latter driven by gluttonous greed encompassing the principle;

All for me and none for you – dominant in the prevalent ruling class.

In the absence of unbiased independent checks and balance besides transparency and accountability flouted as privilege,

Plutocracy displacing democracy in politics is legitimized in fake rigged elections where votes are bought with notes using illegal unaccounted money.

It does not end there, the so-called elected are freely negotiated and traded to shift sides and factions post-election adopting machiavellian tactics in the end justifying the means.

The trend continue unabated in the unsustainable pseudo system.

The river stream changing course producing floods and tsunami wreaking havoc is reflected in current plutocracy. Anything premised in false and fraudulent foundation is the recipe for precipitous fall sooner than later.

India – Political Paradox

March 2, 2023

India 

Political Paradox  

Padmini Arhant

Update 03/03/2023 : 

India’s dominion republic status upon overt colonial rule stepping aside in 1947 celebrated as independence was presented the parting gift – the partition of India into India and Pakistan with Kashmir becoming the negative dividend for Kashmiris in general. 

In 2023, Indian politics drum roll on 75 years of independence jubilation in essence is independence for political class from any checks and balances, transparency and accountability to the people as the republic.

Corruption presiding politics permeating across economy, institutions, organizations and general society, the goon and gutter politics premised on harassment and bribe is the cardinal rule. 

The political establishment having defused constitutional governed democracy, eliminated states and institutional autonomy, the open field is the grooming ground for authoritarianism. 

At the same time, the political class surrender to oligarchy running a muck besides kowtowing to foreign diktat to retain puppet position as the head of the state trickling down political hierarchy i.e. state and below to municipal level is the pattern.

The pyramid with oligarchs and foreign syndicate at the apex exerting authority and the ones below executing apex order is the design. 

The colonial impact on Indian politics in divide and conquer strategy inversely producing divide and destroy unity generated Indian partition in 1947.

In 2023 –  75 years later, the demolition of democracy promoting dictatorial system is the present irony. 

The development is precisely the dream come true for foreign syndicate championing seeding, breeding and nurturing oppressive regime submissive to external agenda emerging from death of democracy with examples worldwide.

Update 03/002/2023: The central government’s indifference to Adani groups scandal and contrarily New Delhi regime’s latest allegation on Delhi administration deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia in the alleged liquor scam with CBI probe and potential arrest of the accused prior to any presentation of incontrovertible evidence in this issue is open shut government bias and political motive. 

The New Delhi central government chief and head of Adani empire close ties and relations goes back to Gujarat days when the incumbent PM was then Chief Minister of Gujarat aided by Adani business financing political campaign of then Gujarat CM candidacy continued till date at national level. The mutual exchange of economic and political gains on both sides is the trajectory.

Understandably, in the backdrop of New Delhi central government and Adani groups intimate partnership, any effort from the government to investigate Adani groups scandal is a far cry. 

On Adani-gate, the current developments to investigate via Supreme Court committee allowing the panel to hire experts from outside arguably attract public speculations on the implicated party viz. Adani groups’ and their influence on Indian economic sector and central government.

Regardless, the average citizens’ exercising individual discernment and diligence in dealings between Adani groups and their close partner in politics – the New Delhi Chief in national government and draw conclusions would be prudent.

On personal note:

Political Folly and Provocation – The New Delhi regime is reminded on the obsession using proxy in politics, media and general society to target me is lame and ludicrous. The indulgence revealing misplaced priority for the head of the government in deep crises in domestic and international front is conspicuous.

The constant disparaging and personal attacks against me thus far using members in own contingency is crass reflecting deep insecurity. 

As I said earlier, anyone lacking in originality adapting their master’s failed and flawed unscrupulous tactics deploying proxies and pawns from own inventory or domain in indignation of me are categorically in fait accompli. 

There are several incidents to cite from politics and government hired performer instigated into provocative statements and display much to the hirer as the provocateur and deliverer hired in the sham. 

The case in point is BJP member Nupur Sharma contracted by the head of the New Delhi regime airing inflammatory remarks about Islam’s Holy Prophet (PBUH) on BJP networks supposedly in retaliation to an Indian muslim guest’s comment on Hindu worship of God Shiva in the orchestrated show hosted by BJP media.

The raucous did not end with the show. The theatrics subsequently featured Nupur Sharma with victory signs alluding to me considering the sequence of this bizarre episode.

The foolish enactment is not the only isolated incident with politics deliberate provocation in this regard leading to my message in cautioning the power in particular on respect.

Respect is never one way street with a dead end. 

The government chief’s persistence with trolling tagging, invasion of private home and life with contentious illegal spyware pegasus, snooping, eavesdropping and espionage against me is futile and shameful. 

Not to mention the indecent perversion and unlawful intrusion in personal life and space of an individual is a disgrace and deplorable for the head of the so-called democracy. 

Those abusing power and status in serious violations of other’s private space, life and rights are to be aware that while they may think such violation is their entitlement.

They shall not forget they are on the all-knowing and all-seeing divine supreme power’s radar with their deeds to be accounted for in living and upon demise. The fact even more applicable to perpetrators abusing political power and means as well as those with religious connotations stating selves as Saint having emerged from Amarnath cave or wherever.

All issues related to any subject matter presented in this site and sub-domain are confined to relevant policy, actions and decisions of government affecting mankind.

The New Delhi authority exerting control to prohibit free speech is a travesty for a system proclaimed democratic.

Not long ago the NDTV Indian channel, albeit political class representative showcased moderate network was taken over by Adani groups at government behest to indicate a hostile acquisition equivalent to muzzling ordinary people voice against government.

All said and done, the systemic abuse of power invariably proven counterproductive for sources and catalysts with serious repercussions.

Corruption Mar Election

Tamil Nadu Erode East By-Poll

Padmini Arhant 

The cash for votes norm proliferating in the so-called democracy makes election farcical.

The trend prevalent among all political parties and factions led to BJP government in New Delhi legislation of electoral bonds with Indian political opposition unanimous consent casting votes in favor of the bill in parliament.

The ruling and opposition collusion in introduction of anti-democratic unlawful electoral bonds as lawful in funding political campaigns and candidacy explain the political pact among political establishment at the center and state province.

The legislative assembly poll in Indian southern state Tamil Nadu monetizing electorate with Rs. 1 lakh per family on the basis of Rs. 25,000 per voter in a family of four eligible voters translated into $1,250 per household speaks volume on the unaccounted cash flow in circulation among politics to afford such generosity.

Not to mention a serious blow to democratic electoral process marred by rampant corruption.

The politics played in the state and national level is a true revelation on democracy dissipation with election proven a mere formality to legitimize illegitimacy in governance.

The election commission redundancy is evidenced in national government in New Delhi having written off election commission inconvenient and an obstacle,

The state political rulers in Tamil Nadu – the incumbent DMK inherently a political dynasty with power inherited over three generations right now lead Indian politics in black money hoarding in Swiss bank and other tax havens exploiting political impunity on crimes that are otherwise punishable by law for average citizens in the state and nationwide.

The brazen election violations confirm the illegal money power in direct buy-out of voters in the so-called democratic mandate.

The BJP government in New Delhi – the veteran in dissolving state assembly and opposition political groups nationwide deploy colonial divide and conquer strategy. Additionally horse trading in open bidding and buying elected MPs and MLA’s with black money is exhibited as political prowess aka guru exacerbating corruption.

Although BJP criticizes name-sake political opposition on dynasty politics, BJP government and political party sharing dynasty lineage is irrefutable.

The BJP government’s Home Minister Amit Shah’s son Jay Shah granted extraordinary privileges in abuse of easy money via capital funding using Indian taxpayers dough is a bare fact,

Yet another key cabinet member in BJP government – the defense minister Rajnath Singh’s heir Pankaj Singh is the MLA of Noida in Uttar Pradesh and holds position as BJP’s Vice President in Uttar Pradesh. The cabinet minister’s younger son Neeraj Singh is also an active member of BJP.

Despite BJP members and VVIP”s dynasty background, the PM pot shots on campaign rallies against Congress and DMK on dynasty heritage is democracy long transitioned to hypocrisy with BJP’s head leading the tradition.

BJP in New Delhi devious game plan for Tamil Nadu is enslaving current state opposition political party ADMK using the factions’ key figures OPS – known for subservience and cronyism to BJP serving as BJP political pawn in the phony show and tell theatrics from BJP in New Delhi.

On the other hand, the other political member in ADMK, Tamil Nadu’s former chief minister EPS whom BJP New Delhi humiliated during his visit to the capital recently without taking into account ADMK alliance with BJP that enabled BJP to open account in Tamil Nadu is now considered other viable pawn for BJP’s manipulative politics in Tamil Nadu.

Meanwhile, BJP New Delhi’s blind eye to ruling DMK excess money distribution in vote buying in Erode East state assembly by-polls exceeding local opposition ADMK, supposedly BJP’s strong political ally in Tamil Nadu is duality politics. The BJP New Delhi opted to remain oblivious letting DMK run a muck in this election.

DMK with sliding voter confidence and dissatisfaction in Tamil Nadu seek favorable nod from BJP New Delhi. The two have been coalition partners earlier in national representation when BJP failed to emerge majority government barring assorted alliance to form government at the center or the state.

Amidst political misuse and abuse of power with election rules flouted as the standard among national political parties and state competitors, the real victims as usual are the electorate serving as the dice rolled in the election game.

Realistically, politics’ overt agenda is denying fair economic empowerment through stable reliable economic growth and development to middle class, lower middle class, the poor and marginalized in society.

The economic progress for the most needed in the economy is unequivocally a tall order for politics especially the incumbent dedicated in self and oligarchy enrichment at the vast majority expense.

When politics real aim is eternal power lasting over decades slighting constitution, subverting democratic system and rejecting election laws, the status quo is anti-republic which means anti-citizenry transformed into authoritarian rule.

The writing is on the wall with government conviction on the transition from secular India to Hindu Rashtra in semblance with neighboring Afghanistan’s Taliban rule as the Islamic Republic.

The similarity is reflected in zero tolerance to any genuine concerns expressed in constructive criticism. The freedom of expression in government’s view are persona non grata i.e. unwelcome.

Accordingly, those daring to present alternative thoughts are pursued and branded anti-state and anti-national.

In Indian pseudo democracy, the critics of government policy are declared terrorists allegedly endangering the head of the nation’s position and even life. 

The voters’ transgression – The people accepting bribes in hard cash during election from all political parties must realize they are trading their liberty and economic opportunity with corrupt political campaigners running for public office primarily to line their own pockets than deliver any lofty promises they make on campaign trail.

The bribed voters are also required to pay attention to consequences of bribes yielding dismal performance from the so-called elected officials holding public office.

The voters having accepted illegal money from candidates are in no position to question those abusing public funds and so-called political capital upon being so-called elected to public office.

Then economic problems such as skyrocketing inflation, unemployment, poverty…doom and gloom climate persisting throughout political term would be shared responsibility of bribed electorate. 

Politics preference to leave significant population economically weak and dire contributes to people dependency on the state creating non-conducive conditions for further abuse of power at the helm.

In totalitarian regimes, the population at the bottom are either starved or subject to hand-to-mouth living over several generations.

The resistance from oppressed people in authoritarian system is generally not possible.

However, the carte blanche authority and draconian measures on peaceful non-violent protests were witnessed in Indian main street on many occasions more so in the past nine years by the so-called elected head of the state and politics at state and national level.

The election marred with corruption during and thereafter is merely the tip of the iceberg. The meltdown begins with the so-called elected members starting from the top i.e. the head of the nation as Prime Minister with controversial credentials and tainted credibility on many issues.

Among them, the false promise on Rs. 15 lakhs / Rs. 1.5 million in every citizen’s bank account in the course of demonetization takes the cake in misleading electorate.

The rest in Parliament and state legislative assembly on their part proudly have criminal records not excluding terrorism and bomb blasts violence.

These members are apparently dignified elected people representatives unlike selected according to state media propagates ignoring the political market place facilitating trading of members bought and sold with a negotiable price tag.

Again, these are the so-called elected members touted by Indian politics owned and controlled harem media including in Tamil Nadu bragging about the validity of the so-called elected members cesspool.

The regime in New Delhi political maneuver inherited from colonial era is challenged to prove anti-colonial mindset with measures mentioned below.

1. Scrap governorship – the governors appointed predominantly for PM’s use as pawns in nuanced attacks against political targets and critics. The hired sycophant media at politics’ disposal spin narratives to ramp up propaganda in the so-called democracy.

The governors in Indian political structure – the post created in British Raj continued contemporarily is cosmetic. As such the state governments are no longer autonomous and reduced to appease the regime head in the executive branch.

New Delhi toppling the so-called elected state governments is the regime’s signature paradigm. Though majority of the state governments in India are premised in dynasty rule, the central authority regular intervention in upsetting the apple cart has little to do with dynasty and more to do with central authority flexing muscle as the Supreme power.

In the overall national scene, the political opposition in quid pro quo with the ruling regime share common goals to maintain status quo.

They have each other’s back in strong opposition to any voice against corruption, criminality and shoddy politics.

The regime’s chief only political means to remain in power is bribe and harassment. The latter is executed misusing public funded income tax department, the enforcement directorate (ED), intelligence agency viz. CBI and law enforcement such as police force and judiciary.

The bribery in cash and kind as incentives vary from plum government posts in domestic and foreign destinations as ambassadors and diplomats etc., to upper house (Rajya Sabha) member position.

The cash transactions using public funds and black money are expended on MPs, MLAs, Supreme Court justices, election commission, foreign nations with unaffordable economic deals and,

Ultimately not even sparing Hindu Gods with temples and lavish shrines in the hope of absolving from plethora of crimes and sins to the hilt prompting desperate move and erratic decisions.

2. New Delhi regime’s contrived fatigue on colonial mindset referred to recently could be demonstrated in abolishing the British era Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) in suppression of natives’ human rights continued by Indian governments in succession.

AFSPA identified as the root cause of unrest and incessant violence in Kashmir and North East regions remain the tool for Indian central authority, incumbent and predecessor alike to exert extra judicial execution of power against people in Kashmir valley and North Eastern states.

3. The law enforcement unlawful engagement against politically charged individuals and those apprehended on state and central government instigated accusations are victims of police brutality. The reform in this regard is long overdue. 

Then there are other minor offenders unable to afford bribes demanded by corrupt orderlies and police department hierarchy. In these situations, the extreme use of brute force sometimes leading to deaths in police custody are covered up and buried with victims. The practice prolonged since colonial times is antithetical to civilized society. 

4. The regime in New Delhi posing as larger than life getting rid off anti-democratic electoral bonds introduced and enacted by incumbent would make the electoral process transparent in the least if not entirely credible. 

5. The authority in New Delhi disavowing polarization and communal divide in society would delineate government pledge in respecting civil rights and harmony. 

In a nutshell, the disinheritance of colonial traits and enacting all of the above mentioned critical amendments would shed light on the political establishment will and commitment towards revival of democracy. 

Failure to do so any or all of the aforesaid requirements would verify undeclared emergency and undemocratic rule prevalence. 

India today is under despotic regime heavily invested in false-image event management and self-adulation. The regime acquiescence to specific oligarchs’s monopoly on economy is troublesome for nation’s economic future.

Above all national sovereignty security and territorial integrity compromised in foreign incursion and occupation extended from Himalayan range to North Eastern region by neighboring China.

The embarrassing political debacle in protecting national territory is attributed to the regime and oligarchs’ protracted financial dealings with Beijing. 

Relevantly Beijing controlled companies financing regime’s political campaigns is direct infiltration of foreign power. 

The blatant abuse of power and violations of public trust is the culture ceremoniously and authoritatively established by the regime silencing 1.5 billion population with indoctrination using religion and fantasy projecting stagnant economy to meteoric $5 trillion i.e. $5,000,000,000,000 landmark.  

The red herring is prominent with the regime in power preoccupied in censorship curtailing free flow of factual information reaching en masse on all matter of national interests.

The regime recruits media in the indefensible self-defense for constant dissemination and insinuations against political critic viewed arch nemesis corroborating anti-democratic environment.

Democracy – To Be Or Not To Be

February 22, 2023

Democracy – To Be

Or

Not To Be?

Padmini Arhant

Any government and political leadership at the helm in particular responding to foreign comment on the undemocratic status of the head of the state in the so-called democratic system would not allow and legislate the following undemocratic process.

The electoral bonds flooding the political campaigns with incumbent at the national level benefitting the most from known and unknown as well as anonymous sources from within the country and offshore including the nation’s adversary like China financing the candidacy while occupying national territory in Northeast and Himalayan range deploy the nation and citizens at foreign aggressor’s mercy.

Notwithstanding treason transpiring in such transactions.

The horse trading applicable to open bidding with cash and kind incentives buying out elected members – the MLA’s and MP’s in state and national level dismiss election purpose. The democratic system is subverted to benefit major political party in the nation.

The trend though previously existent under earlier administrations and national political party i.e. Congress and state political groups in swaying votes on key legislations is further established in political party representation shifting minority to majority and vice versa in contemporary governance at the center.

The political maneuvering albeit with unaccounted black money in plain corruption deals other than controversial electoral bonds facilitate toppling majority governments and political parties in states and union territories nationwide.

Importantly, the present Central government chronic political strategy targeting political factions at the state and national domain debilitate democracy and void electoral outcome regardless.

On national security, the external affairs ministry attributing sole credit to head of the executive branch on deployment of national defense force along the Himalayan range and LAC with China stationed since March 2020 until now fails to acknowledge the unresolved crisis with China costing Indian economy enormous resources and expenditure to sustain troop deployment in the extraordinary Himalayan terrain.

All the more reason for the head of the executive branch in national public administration to meet the nation’s press barring selective admission of government choice questions and address all matter related to national interests.

The protocol followed in most parts of the world as vital democratic duty from the head of the state clearing doubts and alleviating citizens’ concerns is somehow not respected and never adhered to by current Indian leadership since assuming office in 2014 and till date. 

The RSS trajectory on treason pre-independence and post-independence is irrefutable.

The RSS prominent member Vinayak Damodar Savarkar’s plea bargain with colonial ruler – then British Raj for personal release in exchange for RSS trained armed contingency aiding India’s foreign colonial ruler against Indian population en masse exacerbated freedom struggle.

Thereafter post-independence RSS member Nathuram Godse assassinated Mahatma Gandhi. The assassin Godse is hailed a hero by sitting BJP Parliament member and government in New Delhi.

Fast forward to recent events. The executive branch in New Delhi misusing armed forces for political and personal gains is evidenced in Pulwama attack in Kashmir i.e. Jammu-Srinagar national highway on February 14, 2019 with national election scheduled in May 2019.

A convoy of vehicles carrying Indian security personnel on the Jammu–Srinagar National Highway was targeted resulting in 40 Central Reserve Police Force personnel deaths leaving their young dependents and survivors bereft of parent and earning member.

The Pulwama attack was a colossal failure from central government to avert the incident. The inaction from government with intelligence information available beforehand confirm the lack of initiative and interest to protect armed forces lives prioritizing election prospects over defense force by central government.

Subsequently the incumbent Prime Minister candidate in 2019 abusing Pulwama attack in election rally with campaign speech delivered in the backdrop of bill boards featuring armed forces – the politics using national defense force prohibited by election commission for all political parties across the board was slighted and violated by BJP and incumbent PM candidate in 2019.

The series of violations from the head of the nation in 2019 election and political career misusing religion, defense force, communal divide…among myriad anti-democratic display is a severe setback for democracy.

Above all, the chief of executive branch in New Delhi direct engagement in systemic destruction of institutional autonomy and independent status to function with respect to judiciary, monetary authority such as the Reserve Bank of India, the election commission and not even sparing the Indian national defense force is the last straw. 

The national defense force with creation of chief of staff for the combined army, naval and air force command directly reporting to Prime Minister sidelining the traditional constitutional Presidential obligations to preside over the defense force as the commander-in-chief has more to it than meets the eye in terms of job description.

The newly set up joint chief of defense staff post under Prime Minister would be responsible for defense procurement and stockpiles for all three forces which is a phenomenal cash cow for corporate run politics with selective oligarchy such as Adani, Ambani groups enjoying unlimited unfettered access to economic windfall across economic sector. The defense contracts and projects are icing on the cake exclusively benefitting specific oligarchs and their representative as the head of the executive branch.

In successive blow to Indian national defense force organizational structure and sanctity known for the once admired institutional discipline in keeping communal sentiments and corruption at bay,

The incumbent BJP government introduction of the contentious Agnipath defense recruitment policy last year in 2022 transforming conventional long term defense recruitment to four-year-limit contractual hiring to serve government favored corporate agenda revealed true colors of the present leadership, the political party and government.

The revelations on government decisions related to defense force and objectionable abuse of executive power across the spectrum speak volume on the state of affairs.

The head of the government modus operandi exemplified in disrespect for uniformed forces, not preventing their murder in Pulwama attack along with abandoning their survivors were not all.

The government and leadership default in this incident alluded to State sponsored terrorism against defense personnel. The presumption aroused queries regarding Pulwama attack that were evaded and substituted with government’s unsubstantiated narrative.

The prejudice against potential defense force volunteers lately demonstrated in much protested Agnipath defense policy reducing defense force to mere contractual outsource recruitment.

The agonizing trail from the chief executive in New Delhi represent egregious and irreconcilable deeds committed against the nation, the defense force and citizens at large.

To sum it up the latest stunt not surprisingly from the head of the nation is involving retired servicemen in government propaganda on regional politics to settle political scores with people in southern state of Tamil Nadu. 

In a real functioning democracy, the state would not control and operate press and diverse media in overt and covert means by proxy.

There would be no duplicity in criticism of government policies, plans and performance.

Unlike the political leadership monetized criticism to showcase fake democracy, the genuine constructive criticism of government and political actions are struck down in social media like youtube and other format.

Furthermore, extreme measures such as authorizing the murder of female writer, journalist in cold blood in daylight at her residence in Bengaluru and the head of the nation cheering that heinous crime on twitter by swearing the deceased in public pale a defiant authoritarian regime in comparison to pseudo democracy.

The actions against critics such as authors, former members in the national or state government cadre as IPS officer viz. Sanjiv Bhatt for daring to speak the truth on Gujarat pogrom in 2002, human rights activists like Mrs. Sudha Bharadwaj pledging life in representing indigenous tribes Adivasis and farmers land rights against feudal corporate oppression, Mrs. Teesta Setalvad for providing social and humanitarian service to Gujarat Godhra victims of violence and environmentalists for saving scarce territories and habitats from oligarchy proprietorship…all and many of these activities involve imprisonment without due process on false charges.

Though the latter two female members Mrs. Sudha Bharadwaj and Mrs. Teesta Setalvad are released on bail after long hard legal battle, the former IPS officer Sanjiv Bhatt is sentenced for life on political vendetta by government shaming democracy and judiciary ethics in non-compliance of national constitutional law granting equal rights to the accused barring government intervention and influence that is rampant and norm in the present time more than ever.

In other undemocratic unruly interference by incumbent national government –  unlawfully eliminating former defense force personnel Tej Bahadur Yadav from campaign trail for gaining popularity over incumbent Prime Minister candidate in Varanasi in 2019 general election are not merely few and far between governmental intrusions exceeding predecessors in silencing democracy through undeclared emergency. 

The head of the state open instigation in public speech during political rallies to target nation’s minority citizens i.e. muslims based on their clothes and outfits leading to violence in university campus and main street exploiting religion both Sanatan Dharm, Islam, Christianity…are common political practice again superseding former governments and political factions in power.

Against Hindus, the politics maintaining the abhorrent caste system entirely for vote banks besides marginalization and polarization of society is lauded by state media as the real power and model democracy.

Last but not the least, the system touted as world’s largest democracy parading the head of the national administration constitutionally confined to five-year-term limit position as the symbol and icon is contradictory to democracy and idea of republic presiding over sovereignty and constitution via electoral ballots.

The excessive self-adulation and flamboyance being the signature traits of the head of the public national administration buttressed with cronyism ad nauseam from key cabinet members, groveling media as state propagandists…leave candid totalitarian regimes far behind in amassment of power, glory and carte blanche authority.

There is a thin line between democracy deformed into hypocrisy and despotism aided by plutocracy declared paradigm of democracy.

The status quo defining the system and designation misconstrued to suit personal and political dogma incontrovertibly is anything but democratic.

Geopolitics – Reality Check 2023

January 13, 2023

Geopolitics

Reality Check

 2023

Padmini Arhant

The power of the powerless v. the so-called powerful in the world.

Afghanistan v. Western Imperialism and earlier Former Soviet Union preceded by British invasion representing the prolonged time line.

Afghanistan – The nation invaded by imperialists for usual reasons – economic interests for its rich mineral resources and rare essential ingredient lithium used in large batteries in electric cars and wide variety of clean energy systems…bid farewell to western imperialists in 2021.

Ukraine – Western destabilization of democratic system in 2014 led to Russian annexation of Crimea followed by aggressive violent invasion in Feb 2022 continued until now.

Syria – Invasion and occupation by western ally Israel and western collusion with middle-east clients’ relentless shelling, bombing and occupation proved futile leading to western sponsored and creation of IS, ISIS and nexus in the region in 2012 and thereafter.

Yemen – the North African nation enduring relentless violence and bombing aided by western weapons viz. United States, Israel  and Britain to energy partner Saudi Arabia and regional alliance proven counterproductive for the major powers backing the corrupt Yemeni government against the local Houthi tribe and their supporters since 2014.

As for Britain’s role in Yemen war –

“The report by the Oxfam charity found that the Saudi-led coalition used weapons supplied solely by the U.K. and the U.S. in hundreds of attacks on civilians in Yemen between January 2021 and the end of February 2022. Britain is the second-biggest supplier of weapons to Saudi Arabia, after the U.S.”

The west also lost their ally in Yemen – the former Yemeni president Ali Abdullah Saleh – assassinated in Dec 2017 resulting in blow back for the west and their Middle-East partner Saudi Arabia – the chief rival reining United States and Britain supplied artillery on the poorest nation Yemen in the Arabian peninsula.

Yet the major western powers and Saudi Arabia unable to wield control experiencing setbacks from the war onset in 2014 until now.

In Asia :

Taiwan – the saber rattling from China against independent democratic Taiwan is formidably challenged by the female led leadership Taiwanese President Tsai-Ing wen along with courageous pro-democracy political dissidents despite tremendous hardships and human rights violations inflicted on them by Beijing.

Africa – the African Union fighting back western colonization revisited by France and EU in Mali recurrence to French invasion in 2014 supposedly to curb Islamic militants movement to north that went wry like other western interventions in foreign soil like Iraq, Syria, Libya etc…

Similarly in Latin America – the smaller poorer nations constantly targeted for political unrest and instability involving western footprints have over a period of time and currently defiant and resilient to defend their sovereignty and economy from predator western foreign policy.

The lesson from these events is never to take anyone or anything for granted. Big is not necessarily mighty for the one who has ultimate control over universe is Almighty presiding over just and unjust cause including activities as well as operations never allowing falsehood and deceit to prevail at any time.

The superiority concept has failed time and time again evidenced in the above sequences entirely due to grit, determination and strong will amongst population defending their sovereignty, independence and civil liberty – the fundamentals of a free country.

Regardless of violent intrusions and extreme oppressive strategy, the victims rise like phoenix from ashes in reclaiming their legitimate status.

Syria – Regime Change Target

December 14, 2022

Syria

Regime Change Target

Padmini Arhant

It’s time to leave Syria alone.

Syria, a sovereign nation is under persistent attack in the earlier and present decade.

United States administration and ally Israel relentless bombing and shelling of Syria since the so-called Arab Spring in 2010 aimed at regime change is reprehensible.

The provocative indulgence is the foundation for catastrophe facilitating terror havens and undesirable elements making life impossible for the native population in the country and region.

Libya is a classic example with lawlessness and political volatility as the state of affairs for the people left at the mercy of exploiters reaping their harvest.

Although there are many examples in this category, the recent one is Afghanistan with Taliban enabled to power and rule the embattled nation making life miserable for all and impossible for women.

Syrian population are subject to western manufactured terror, sanctions and hostility leaving generational impact on human suffering and misery.

Syrians are driven homeless in their homeland and forced into refugee status only to be denied access on or before arrival on the aggressors shores creating the worst humanitarian crisis since 2010 with no end in sight.

Meanwhile, the aggressors and violators adhering to old obsolete regime change concept reeking chaos and mayhem wherever possible are invariably absolved of responsibility and accountability.

The U.S and ally political aspiration imitating invasion of Iraq under false pretext proved disastrous for invaders i.e. United States and NATO as well as the invaded nation Iraq.

The invasion of Iraq unequivocally led to arrival of al-Qaeda in the middle east that was bereft of terror groups until then. The region ruled by regimes not without western approval or collusion remained in power over several decades upon submitting to western economic terms and conditions regardless of political situation across the region.

United States foreign policy customized to suit interests other than United States or citizens and for that matter the people of the targeted nations till date is timeless recipe for disaster.

The lofty endeavors costing United States taxpayers in billions and trillions thus far only delivered unrest, instability and violent outcome with emergence and manifestation of various terror outfits in the destinations unlike the propaganda on establishing democracy (?) with individual liberty.

United States as well as Israel constant intervention in Syria in 2010 and thereafter attracted other foreign intrusion such as Turkey, Iran, Lebanon, Qatar, UAE, Saudi Arabia forcing Syria to rely on Russia that eventually produced Russian naval base in Syrian sea port city, Tartus.

The event is no different to Russian annexation of Crimea, the eastern Ukraine following then United States administration and EU launched coup in 2014 against Ukraine’s elected democratic government resulting in Ukraine status quo.

United States present administration by proxy engaged in resumption of regime change in Syria as a mission to finish unfinished task from 2010 – 2012 is by far the undemocratic illegal involvement in a foreign nation that would not be tolerated by United States in return.

The idea of meddling in foreign affairs to mess with the population, sovereignty, self-determination and territorial integrity that are regarded exclusive to United States and western states are somehow not recognized nor respected as relevant with others in the rest of the world.

United States democratic values are successively challenged during such foreign interventions with Syria until now not spared from unwanted unnecessary cataclysmic endurance.

The so-called Russian collusion turned out to be hoax in the taxpayers’ squandered investigations and Robert Mueller headed committee in the fact finding of 2016 U.S. Presidential election.

In comparison, the United States administration in 2010 authorized and convened events under the guise of Arab Spring and other format to topple governments in different parts of the world is a reality that apparently resumed in the current development in Syria.

Anything tried and tested yielding turbulence and turmoil is best abandoned providing opportunity for the victims i.e. the people in Syria and alike viz. Yemen etc. to heal and recover from foreign inflicted carnage as destiny.

Furthermore, the authoritarian style of governance is not necessarily unique to overt authoritarianism. The pattern is unfortunately prevalent in worst disguise in widely presented so-called democracy that are conveniently ignored in the western foreign policy.

The modern day democracy legacy is testament to destabilizing and removal of  people choice democratic governments world over with the trend continued as entitlement in the present time.

Finally, regime change and any modification to systems is entirely the sovereign right of the people barring any foreign determination and designation that are anything but democratic.

Syrian people alone possess the inalienable right to exercise election and rejection of government in their domain.

Syria like any other nation deserve peace and stability with long overdue relief from indefinite inhumane western economic sanctions crippling life deprived of normal existence.

In fact, the economic sanctions affect human living conditions with the population anger and frustration expressed towards the policy. The counterproductive strategy have increasingly favored those at the helm that are presumably the target in the misguided decisions.
