Hegemony – Sanctions to Prolong Unlawful Endeavors is Provocation with Serious Repercussions
By Padmini Arhant
The latest development to punish nations for standing against those sponsoring terrorism will undoubtedly backfire on sources behind illegitimate measures such as sanctions.
As mentioned earlier sanctions are used as a weapon to continue with invasions under false pretexts regardless of civilian casualties and humanitarian crisis. The loss of innocent lives in U.S. air strikes and military assaults without congressional approval as well as international consensus and importantly prior to any investigations on allegations are serious violations in any context that merits accountability.
Furthermore, it represents dangerous elements exerting fire power while causing more pain and suffering for citizens of nations targeted with economic sanctions.
The unilateral dispositions are designed to provoke reactions for unnecessary conflicts that are best avoided and instead initiate peaceful negotiations to end war in Syria and purge terrorism with termination of weapons cache, funding and comprehensive support to terror networks deployed in Syria and across the region.
The unwillingness to prepare for unconditional peaceful talks would indicate sincerity or the lack thereof in protecting lives and allow peaceful existence for local population in the respective domain.
Besides clarity on terror sponsors remaining the existential threat to humanity and the world at large, the status quo is confirmation of entities reining control over political decisions undermining democracy and United States sovereignty that are evidently against United States and global interests considering U.S. interventions world over.
The reason for the urge to repeat Iraq episode in Syria is the absence of checks and balances for horrendous crimes against humanity in Iraq war not to mention the collusion in 9/11 attacks to advance premeditated agenda – the Project for New American Century deceptively designed to hurt America economically and politically compromising ethics and integrity in international affairs.
Moving forward, the policy promoting aggression and non-cooperation at the expense of lives and livelihoods could no longer be the norm and such tradition is contradictory to democratic values and constitutional law.
The irony is the Supreme Court nominations and appointments with conservativism in majority is maintained as the need to interpret United States constitution appropriately in citizens matter although the trend reflects otherwise with grave concerns in recent outcomes denying U.S. citizens’ individual rights.
Simultaneously, the disregard for constitution and democratic principles on issues related to warfare and adherence to international treaty are not recognized as relevant.
The current administration rational approach exercising restraint and due diligence would enable peaceful resolutions bearing in mind that power comes with responsibility and demands maturity to deal with diverse challenges and opportunities to make peace.
In earnest commitments towards peace, the gains are inevitable leading to rapprochement compared to disguised engagement resulting in loss of trust and credibility.
Peace to all!
Thank you.

Hegemony – Regime Change and Sanctions to Defend Offensive Actions
By Padmini Arhant
The latest demand to oust elected government and leadership in Syria pose the following questions.
The United States elections result in 2016 has received protests nationwide with disappointment from various parts of the world.
Does this mean the current administration and Presidency of Donald J Trump be removed and replaced with opposition choice?
In this instance, there is a difference between United States and Syria. With United States, the disapproval of leadership is by the people within United States and the rest of the world.
Whereas with Syria, the call for such action is made from forces whose position is illegitimate given their involvement as sponsors of terrorism leading to massive casualties not only in Syria but also elsewhere like terror attacks in Moscow, Stockholm and Cairo.
The action to dismiss governments and leadership regarded adversary by hegemony is premised on vested interests and radicalism rather than humanitarian or democratic reason.
In case the latter were to be true then, United States, Britain and others would begin with their members in alliance such as Israel, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Bahrain, Qatar, Jordan, UAE whose human rights violations slight U.N. Security Council resolutions and world reproach.
The international outcry on Israel’s illegal settlement activity and Saudi Arabia’s intolerance towards women driving a car and local population desire for transformation from kingdom rule to democratic system is treated with disdain in defiance.
Similarly, Bahrain’s crackdown on peaceful demonstrations for democracy. Turkey’s violent strategy towards Turkish citizens’ stance on their government participation in promoting and proliferation of terror. Jordanians discontent with monarchy rule with name sake parliamentary system. These are few examples that deserves attention.
Why is Syria isolated despite Syrian election amid fighting war against terror sponsored by United States and alliance?
Syria is one of the targets for the architects and catalysts behind the Project for New American Century listing nations to be brought down regardless of repercussions.
Having invaded Iraq under false pretext causing immeasurable damage and irreversible loss of lives that continues until today, these agents of deaths and destruction would not relent to peaceful resolutions.
Any nations expressing concern over undemocratic and violent measures like unilateral air strikes without congressional approval in a democracy and relentless support to terror factions are in return rebuked and categorized as potential threats to hegemony.
In the attempt to defend indefensible and reprehensible developments, the sponsors of terror call for sanctions against nations urging to exercise due diligence and their requests to contain unnecessary tensions are threatened with economic sanctions.
Sanctions for hegemony is a tool to silence rational thoughts and logic for they are considered inconvenient and hindrance to hegemonic goals.
In fact, those advocating sanctions against well-meaning and constructive course ought to be sanctioned for their reckless policy especially due to their engagement in manufacturing terror endangering global peace and security.
Sanction is a primitive measure intended to punish the population of the respective nations more than anyone that eventually hurts the source in the current global economy with economic interdependence and trade activities having ripple effects in overall global markets performance.
Restricting any nation to trade resources based on political disagreements is egregious and counterproductive. The major economies opportunity to benefit from developing and emerging economies requirements and potentials to supplement products and services in the competitive environment is lost from sanctions.
Finally, democracy is relevant upon maintaining governance without external and extraneous influence undermining republic status.
Peace to all!
Thank you.

Syria – Peace Process with Immediate Withdrawal of Support to Terror Networks
Syrian warfare into seventh year and scores of lives lost with innocent children, women and men as victims of this unnecessary and unprovoked battle, there could be no more reasons to prolong bloodshed in the country.
The sponsors of terrorism must realize that pledging infinite assistance to terror factions proved counterproductive and should have never occurred to begin with especially when the whole operation is disguised as liberation of Syria via terrorism.
As a result, Syrians are forced to accept deaths and devastation with millions having become refugees in their homeland and unwelcome on foreign shores by sponsors of terror.
The idea of democratization of any nation whether it be Iraq earlier on or lately neighboring countries in the region is a deceptive strategy to subjugate nations creating turmoil and carnage as justification for regime change.
The tradition continues despite immense human suffering, humanitarian crisis, environment problems and major economic liability notwithstanding widespread terrorism.
Fueling terror to topple government ignoring ramifications is a reckless policy and reflects ill-conceived ideology with little or no concern for life in general.
Hegemony goals targeting vulnerable nations under false pretext is to be challenged considering the defiant trend in the absence of accountability. No economic or military power could sustain long term occupation and this fact is evidenced in history.
When something that do not belong to others is seized by force or deceit, the ownership never remains permanent with reversal of situation in the foreseeable future.
Syria is unfairly used as pawn by terror sponsors and current developments displaying superpower status and military capability at the expense of Syrian children, women and men of that nation escalates tension that could lead to undesirable scenario.
Amid global consensus on terrorism as primary threat in the modern age, nurturing terror in every aspect from funding and training to providing ammunitions pose serious credibility factor for western powers and their allies involved in the confrontation with Syria.
Terrorism cannot exist without finance and access to weapons that are made available directly and covertly to operatives in Syria. Terminating life line and money trails along with arms delivery including communication means among terror outfits would paralyze terror.
Unfortunately, this measure is not acceptable to those behind terror sponsorship with their preference for air raids, bombing and shelling of the war ravaged country. Any sympathy from them thereafter is an insult to injury for the Syrian people.
Syrian war must end and purging terror from their homeland would be every nation’s responsibility. Syria cannot be deprived from this commitment.
As for any decisions on Syria’s political future, the same rule that exists for United States and allies should apply and that is no foreign interference.
Just like United States has objection to external influence or intervention in governance and elections prompting investigations on the alleged Russian involvement in 2016 polls that is considered violation of sovereignty and international law,
Similarly, Syria and for that matter any other nation worldwide share same rights in determining the respective political fate without outside meddling in their internal affair.
The concept of democracy is to respect and observe principles that governance by the people, for the people and of the people is the republic domain free from foreign powers’ discretion. The people of every nation are capable of making decisions concerning self and national interests barring foreign engagement and proxy representations that often diminish the prospects of better choice and outcome.
Syria is no different and Syrians ability to exercise political will were demonstrated in the recent elections despite the country combatting war against terror and the powerful forces instigating violence.
Any skepticism on Syrian election would be political and partisan even though they were monitored by UN authorized independent group unlike the elections in the so-called democracy where campaigns are financed by Super Pac funds and unlimited spending without full disclosure on sources to gain access to public office.
The world must come together in recognizing Syria’s sovereignty and territorial integrity calling for the ongoing sponsoring of terrorism to cease effective immediately and relieve the people of Syria from incessant destruction of lives and infrastructure.
Peace is possible with peaceful resolutions in acknowledgment of life and others’ rights to exist in the world.
Peace to all!
Thank you.

World – Hegemony Goals and Media Coverage
By Padmini Arhant
There is no smoke without fire.
In the past week, President Donald Trump statement confirmed that the administration would pursue terrorists and not Syrian government. Within a short period of that public comment, the story on the use of chemical weapons in Syria flashes worldwide on April 4th.
Then follows the usual condemnation and judgment calls from those whose trajectory reflects abuse of power, collusion on sanctions amounting to genocide and political tactics to win elections that outweighs the position they maintain in the outside world.
Prior to any investigation on this latest alleged chemical attack by Syrian government, the United States launches air strikes killing innocent children and adult civilians that is praised as an act of bravery apparently by most nations according to hegemony controlled news outlets and media worldwide.
The desperate attempt to defend indefensible aggression against Syrian citizens in the U.S. missile attacks on April 7th, is an irony considering the reason provided for this display was the emotions riding high at the sight of babies, women and men subject to inhumane tragedy.
In my view, loss of life is regrettable regardless of the cause. That’s not how it is assessed with hegemony and agents as they classify casualties depending on who is involved in the action.
Hegemony and representatives calling out on Syrian government upon this happening while taking enormous pride in their killing of Syrian population with military action in the same breadth is something to wonder about the mindset of those reining control over world affairs.
Upon reviewing this so-called chemical arsenal episode. There are two possibilities leading to current chemical weapons instance. As per hegemony declaration, Syrian government was stripped of chemical and biological weapons by UN agency, Organization for Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OCPW) in 2014.
What needs to be noted is the demand to disarm Syrian government of chemical weapons were consistently made and carried out with no similar requirements on terror networks and sponsors in particular despite evidence showing terror outfits fingerprints on several accounts.
The sponsors are United States, Britain, France, Germany, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Jordan, UAE and Qatar with others assuming passive role in aiding and abetting terrorism.
Terror networks with comprehensive support from sponsors had access to manufacture chemical weapons and set up a lab that was targeted by the Syrian government.
Alternatively, the Syrian government and defense forces defending their nation from onslaught in all directions for the past six years since 2011 until now embarked on chemical weapons exposure among terrorists in Idlib province. In return they were reprimanded with terror sponsors military retaliation witnessed in President Donald Trump authorized U.S. air strike resulting in more civilian deaths and carnage.
Either way, hegemony policy for dominance and supremacy is clear. Having shifted from conventional warfare in Bush-Cheney era with troops on the ground tied to congressional approval which means curbing public protests to war, the strategy was technically modified by Obama-Clinton administration via terrorism bypassing electorate consent through Congress.
Furthermore, the development made possible with EU and middle eastern allies cooperation in transforming Arab Spring to Anti-Sovereignty mission conforming to long espoused agenda – the Project for New American Century (PNAC) undermining democratic values that America is projected to represent not to mention the misuse of American tax dollars and resources in endeavors against U.S. interests.
Hegemony explanation on the necessity to remove people elected Syrian government and leadership citing human rights violations and lack of democratic process while remaining lock step and barrel with regimes in Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar, Turkey, Jordan and UAE declining change in the system is contradictory to professed doctrine on democracy.
These traits are no secrets as they were demonstrated in U.S. and Britain guided crackdown of political dissidents in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia.
United States and Israel logistic assistance to Saudi Arabia in the prolonged war in Yemen deprive the local population from independence and free choice.
The same would apply to Egypt in Tahrir Square in 2011. The downfall of U.S. and Israel ally former President Hosni Mubarak known for brutality and hardline governance was reset with United States and Israel’s intervention denying Egyptians the opportunity to liberty.
Likewise yet another representative – Turkish leadership Recep Tayyip Erdogan altering constitution to suit personal designation are some examples of hegemony orientation to democracy and human rights.
Hegemony at the helm with no tolerance to peace, freedom, individual rights, unity and sovereignty is the sign of precipitous decline.
Is this sustainable?
Conclusion of era is inevitable. Anything that is self-destructive leads to expedited ending.
Peace to all!
Thank you.

Syria –U.S. Unilateral Air Strike against Syria
By Padmini Arhant
U.S. Unilateral Air Strike against Syria might be welcome from corners that regards projection of military might as sign of strength especially when own human rights record speaks volume on abuse and atrocities committed whether that is complicity in 9/11 attacks on American soil in 2001, or ramming over people during peaceful assembly in Tiananmen Square in 1989.
Similarly, in 2003 in occupied Palestine, a brave young American citizen Rachel Corrie killed under a bull dozer by close ally Israel who is also U.S. tax dollars aid recipient.
Such violent actions glorified as defiance defines the character of those and the lack of inherent human value in them. These attributes cause the downfall sooner than later.
On the economic standpoint, the U.S. launched Tomahawk missiles costing tax payers $1.59 million a piece with 59 of them fired away and 36 wasted with 23 hitting the Syrian air field could hardly be prudence for Presidency with business background.
That means the actual tax payers in the U.S. economy had to foot the bill for $93.81million to showcase the American Presidency showmanship which is nothing more than capitulation to hawkish elements drumroll to attack causing more civilian casualties as sympathy towards people in Syria. This move is anything but a smart strategy.
Interestingly, fiscal responsibility is eliminated in such endeavor as they are reserved for critical issues like health care and education reminding American citizens that United States is not a welfare nation but has no problem expending on few missiles to expand defense budget.
Wisdom is a gift that provides guidance on matter requiring diligence while folly commands impulsive reaction.

Syria – Chemical Weapons Accusations and Washington’s Military Option
By Padmini Arhant
The news reports on the recent incident in war torn Syria – Khan Sheikhhoun town in Idlib province leaving 70 people including 11 children dead is prompting military actions from the quarters that are denouncing the tragedy while preparing to inflict more deaths and damages against the people in Syria.
Syria has been the target in the regime change game by those never relenting to peace and peaceful resolutions since the onset of western and middle eastern allies sponsored terrorism in 2011 that continues until today with no respite from violence.
United States and allies deployed terror networks with comprehensive support ranging from funding, military training and weapons cache not barring chemical stockpiles by former President Barack Obama administration produced thousands of civilian fatalities in addition to creating refugee crisis with no end in sight.
The current situation calling for Syrian government removal echoing the sentiments of previous administration is indicative of premeditated strategy using the apparent chemical arsenal as the premise to contain Syria from purging terror on their soil.
Facts and figures matter over any predisposed allegations serving hegemony goals in the region.
Syria has been forced to pay a price with life and destiny destroyed by western powers and allies engaged terror outfits that has evolved from al Qaeda into various diverse factions committing heinous crimes against men, women and children of Syria.
The western and middle eastern allies’ unnecessary intervention in Syria expanded into Iraq, Lebanon and Libya transforming these nations as terror base in the so-called war on terror is testimony to Syrian civilian bloodshed and traumatic experience.
Syria could have been spared from terror infestation and military operations had the peace accord in 2012 and subsequent years allowed to prevail without unreasonable demands that clearly violated Syrian sovereignty and territorial integrity cherished by western powers and allies as exclusive rights in the respective domain.
Similar episode earlier with the U.S. and allies unsubstantiated claims against Syrian government in the purported use of chemical agents led to UN agency, Organization for Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) destruction of any biological and chemical storage in Syria’s possession in 2014. This activity was formally confirmed in the official declaration by the White House under ex-President Barack Obama, United Nations as well as U.S and international media.
On the contrary, the U.S. and allies sponsored terrorists use of chemical substances from sarin gas to different kinds of nerve agent against Syrian army and civilian residents besides poisoning wells and reservoirs causing casualties never even a subject of discussion let alone inquiry at the U.N. Security council or in the political discourse.
The western leaderships characterization of these events as war crimes could perhaps be credible upon recognition of own legacy in the past and present century comprising use of nuclear weapons in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, napalm in Vietnam and Cambodia, uranium in Falluja in Iraq war, White Phosphorous by Israel against citizens in Gaza, Palestine, chemical war planes in Libya and missiles with nuclear component against Syria in 2012-2013.
With no desire to terminate terror sponsorship in Syria and elsewhere, the hegemony quest for conquest persists with little or no concern for life in general not to mention health risks from environment pollution and contamination of air and water in contradiction to Paris climate treaty.
Initiatives on military action against Syria would further establish real motives to pursue invasion and annihilation as justification without any acknowledgment for being the cause of mayhem and humanitarian disaster.
Any unilateral decision would have serious repercussions due to complexities and conditions that could exacerbate global security and economy.
Those espousing violence and violent means to achieve their aspirations are evidently unwilling to learn from mistakes that has severe impact on the source and catalysts promoting ideas proved counterproductive.
The ill-conceived notion that empathy towards victims in Syria could only be expressed through air strikes and terrorism reflects sincerity or the lack thereof in ending human suffering once and for all not to mention the intellect seeking to douse fire with fire.
Instead the ban on weapons supply to terror forces and money trails to terror groups representing hegemony should be the first step that would guarantee any sign of peace to citizens in Syria and neighboring Iraq, Lebanon and the rest of the middle east.
Simultaneously Syrian government and defense personnel also required to exercise due diligence prior to launching air or ground assaults against terrorists with preemptive measures like evacuation of civilians from sensitive locations to prevent loss of innocent lives even though terror groups deliberately integrate in densely populated areas to increase civilian mortality.
As for any sanctions, the UN Security Council would be a legitimate body upon adopting and implementing same policy beginning with P5 + 1 members on human rights abuse and violations notwithstanding selective authorization of military action and trade embargo that has killed scores of citizens worldwide.
The irony is those who are guilty of crimes against humanity are protected with immunity and some awarded Nobel peace prize for prolonging status quo.
Syrians deserve to exist in peace in their homeland free from perpetual aggression by terror operatives and their sponsors holding Syria hostage in the misguided mission to proliferate terrorism and turmoil.
World bears responsibility to reject dominance and supremacy undermining lives and livelihood with liberty and justice challenged to preserve the self-granted privileges for the few in society.
Syrian citizens have endured enormous pain and equally demonstrated courage resisting unlawful intrusions under the guise of liberation by those fueling terror and hostility. The objectives to replace people elected government with terror offshoots clarifies the intention of those behind such proposal.
United States tax dollars are best expended in rebuilding the struggling economy and improving job growth promised in the election campaign rather than venturing into warfare against Syria that could inevitably be a costly affair not only for United States and allies but also for the entire world.
Syrians having been drawn into unprovoked warfare welcome dawn of peace not delivery of artillery and military might.
Peace to all!
Thank you.

BOLLYWOOD is the malady exploiting India’s majority seeking to escape tragedy.
The filthy rich rise at the expense of those in grinding poverty with the former granted immunity on crimes from tax evasion, embezzlement, rape, man slaughter to corruption and links to under world and politics while the latter struggle for survival in the opportunistic environment is the reality delineating superficiality.

The Powerful Dilemma
The state of mind as eternal when next moment is fickle.
Those who think they control everything possess nothing except fear and false pride.
Power is meaningless when subjugated to falsehood and fabrication.
Spin on issues in any direction – right, left and center make the spinner dizzy and lose consciousness sinking into coma from frost bite protecting frozen peccadillo.
Free speech tongue tied unable to swallow or spit sour candy sugar coated for palate.
License to powerful is silence for the powerless.
Secrecy and supremacy leaves democracy a fantasy.
Immunity is a privilege in return for sacrilege.
Mute the voice of salient to amplify the noise of subservient.
Bake a cake with fillings and toppings producing the fake in poor taste and quality.
Title an entitlement in the arrangement on derailment.

In the twenty first century:
Myanmar – Rohingya community persecuted and declined domicile under western partnered military junta and the so-called democratic leadership Aung San Suu Kyi exemplifying political expedience over humanitarian call.
Sri Lanka – President Mahinda Rajapaksa termination of Tamil civilian population in Eelam and Jaffna in 2009 with UN deserting the pleading citizens at the mercy of Sri Lankan army empowered by India’s Congress regime and external weapons supply.

The permanent occupation of Afghanistan by United States and NATO under the pretext of security in contradiction to ground reality fomenting poppy cultivation facilitating arming of drug lords trading weapons with Taliban and insurgents to perpetuate violence in that region.
Similarly, the bifurcation of the North African nation and the largest country Sudan in July 2011 into Sudan and South Sudan resulting in scores of casualties and political chaos that is far from over until today.
Likewise, West and East Africa through western especially France recolonization bid through UNSC authorization and UN troops caused mayhem than mitigating crisis.

The persistent efforts to derail Argentina, Venezuela and Bolivia. In this context previously Haiti in the Caribbean has been the victim of United States organized political unrest exiling popular leader Jean-Bertrand Aristide.
The fast and furious program under the administration of former President Barack Obama and Justice Department then Attorney General Eric Holder triggering Mexican drug cartels killings of Mexican citizens in Mexico opened the floodgates for feared residents in villages and outskirts to flee their once peaceful zone.
The trend continued regardless of administrations leaning left or right, moderate, conservative, liberal and progressive given illegitimate incognito forces reining control over system and world body not without complicity from executive and legislative branch leaderships representing western dais.
The empowerment of dictatorial regimes with arms delivery, maintaining diplomatic relations and providing logistic support to quell pro-democracy initiatives in Bahrain, Yemen, Egypt, Tunisia and Saudi Arabia in recent times deprive population the freedom and fundamental right to exist in their homeland forcing them to seek refuge offshore.
The conclusion –there is an urgent need to review the policy sponsoring human rights violation, terrorism and wars prior to outcry on refugee influx in western domain.
You don’t go there if you don’t want them in your territory.

United States – U.S. Tax Payers Fund And Foreign Aid
January 25, 2017
By Padmini Arhant
The headlines on the outgoing administration of former President Barack Obama last minute approval to send Palestinians $221 M under review by current administration State Department.
Similarly, the new administration State Department is urged to scrutinize the executive action of ex-President Barack Obama allowing U.S. tax fund $38 billion dollars to Israel’s military aid over ten years beginning in middle of 2016 despite Israel’s contentious settlement activity routinely supported by President Barack Obama and then UN ambassador Samantha Power representing the former administration via veto in UNSC resolutions stalling any progress in the middle east peace process.
The ex-President Barack Obama’s exit strategy doing something that could have been done during the term in office and instead executing in a frenzy prior to departure alludes to image management. Wearing a different mask do not make the wearer any different in character confirming duplicity.
Among a flurry of late and last minute executive orders and positions such as United States abstinence in recent UNSC resolution against Tel Aviv authority’s decision to expand settlements in occupied Palestinian territory unfortunately depicts the departing administration’s focus on scorecard rather than sensitivity on the embattled issue fomented by generous U.S. military and financial aid to Israel – the tradition continued by the outgoing administration of ex-President Barack Obama and intact at present posing conflict on the motto of AMERICA FIRST.

Cuba – Leader and Former President Fidel Castro
November 26, 2016
Cuban Leader and Former President Fidel Castro
By Mrs. Padmini Arhant
The Caribbean nation Cuba’s leader and the former President Fidel Castro passing at the age of 90 is a moment of reflection, appreciation and reconciliation for the country. The people having experienced tumultuous times and hardships possess the opportunity to evolve utilizing the good and learning from the bad events in history.
Politics never been transparent and accessible to people anywhere always pose a great challenge in remaining the republic with governance under specific control regardless of political ideology. Any nation undergoing revolution in resistance to failed system and hardline tactics are often met with internal and external ire prompting defensive mechanism to curb threat to sovereignty. In the process, implementing measures without revision contributes to stagnancy.
The major dilemma for developing nation in any region is protecting sovereign status with quest to undermine national integrity and self-determination rights persists under the guise of empathy expressed in apathy via coup, economic sanctions lasting decades crippling economy and isolation depriving the country from deserving growth and development.
The post revolution Cuba emulating former Soviet Union and China’s communism style of governance and economic policy was a misconceived strategy.
However, the socialist adaptation in providing universal health care and affordable housing to the poor and lower income category is a credit in the struggle to uplift standard of living.
In any form of government whether communism or so-called democracy, theocracy and autocracy somehow leads to concentration of power amongst core members not to mention extraneous influence and internal collusion besides corruption inhibiting real progress.
World under hegemony aimed at subjugation of nations for acquisition of resources and strategic dominance create impediments to self-sufficiency and autonomy. The rise of any nation and region subsequent to prolonged downturns is curtailed to maintain status quo.
Cuban leader and former President Fidel Castro withstood the test of time in the potential nuclear confrontation between the two nuclear powers – former Soviet Union and the United States, the CIA unsuccessful attempt to overthrow the leadership in BAY OF PIGS debacle and since then United States imposing economic embargo with refusal to lift sanctions and forge economic ties exacerbated Cuban citizens plight.
On the Cuban leadership part, any hardline approach inside Cuba to crackdown political dissidence to prevent repeat of Bay of Pigs could have been substituted with political and economic reform promoting trust and national interests.
In international affairs, Cuban leader’s effort in brokering peace talks between the Colombian government and FARC in the long embroiled internal conflict that produced unnecessary deaths and unrest in the South American nation merits recognition.
Cuban revolutionary leader Fidel Castro rise to power in 1959 and remaining the political force in the nation and for many aspiring leaders in Latin America and around the world is testimony to tenacity and adeptness in surviving turbulence from within and outside the Caribbean island.
On this occasion of grief and sorrow, I offer my sincere condolences to the family and people of Cuba.
Wishing Cuba a new beginning with people represented democracy, peace and bright future.
Peace to all!

World – Synopsis on Women Leaderships Representing Hegemony and Dynasty Impact on Global Security and Progress
November 20, 2016
World – Synopsis on Women Leaderships Representing Hegemony and Dynasty Impact on Global Security and Progress
By Padmini Arhant
Women leaderships representing political establishment, secret society and syndicate promote violence, nuclear threats, political instability, humanitarian crisis, poverty, economic and social disparity and last but not the least corruption prompted criminal investigations evaded due to immunity.
Synopsis on catastrophe inflicted on the world population by women leaderships representing secret society and political dynasty.
Women’s rise to power ordinarily an extraordinary feat. However, in politics the status made possible through privileged and political connectivity.
Women leaderships mostly borne out of parental lineage, marital basis and servile to supremacy around the world conforming to inheritance and acquisition of power demonstrably weakened women’s stature in leadership role. In politics women pursuing power more symbolic than substantive considering egregious decisions and cavalier approach adopted for personal and vested interests.
Women ascendance in politics as head of the nation proved prone to abuse of power contrary to womanhood qualities like compassion, care, prudence and responsible conduct. The reason behind trajectory is addiction to power and fame undermining values and rationality making them no different from their male counterpart in that category.
Regardless of region whether west or east, the trend among women political leaderships thus far has contributed to violence, warfare, corruption scandals, political instability, economic chaos and lately terrorism not barring nuclear option frivolously used ignoring serious repercussions from such reckless disposition.
United States preparing to elect a woman candidate with a track record on corruption scandals such as Whitewater and participation in foreign coups overthrowing democratically elected governments in developing nations exacerbating women, youth and children plight from political turbulence. The political career marred with activities and underhanded tactics including fostering terrorism causing loss of American and scores of innocent civilian lives is not a negligible involvement.
The democratic candidate Hillary Clinton violations of human rights, breach of trust and misuse of public office not surprisingly was welcome to those keen on maintaining business as usual. The democrat candidate Hillary Clinton election to serve bidders and investors in her political campaign besides secret society and not the electorate and the country at large led to unsuccessful electoral outcome.
As Senator and Secretary of State – both posts resulting from political negotiations and wrangling, the democrat candidate Hillary Clinton spared no moments to exercise excessive authority and aggressive means for destructive purpose.
The foreign policy under Secretary of State Hillary Clinton became the death sentence for millions of civilians in Libya, Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, Ukraine and population in Africa and Latin America.
Accordingly, the trepidation among victims on the possibility of democrat candidate Hillary Clinton re-entering the White House for fifth term in office was a major humanitarian concern.
The concept of election having been reversed to selection with pre-determined choice, the electorate upended subsequent to casting their ballots to establishment and secret society candidacy.
Any setbacks suffered in secret society calculation evident in United States election 2016 is countered with threats to sabotage electoral mandate and protests that would have been denounced against preferred candidacy or in the aftermath of 2008 and 2012 election characterizing as racism towards black Presidency.
The election results revealed that vote for such candidate could have been a deliberate mistake leaving the economy, security and importantly peace at stake.
——————————————————————————
The highlights on women leaderships authorizing violence, turmoil, political unrest and economic decline.
Beginning with current members the following women leaders might have gained prominence in political arena at the same time initiated pain and misery with no regrets for their action.
United States – The democrat Presidential candidate – Hillary Rodham Clinton. The entry in politics facilitated by spouse’s position as Governor of Arkansas and later as President of the United States. The candidate Hillary Clinton politics is money, mistrust and mayhem. The summary on Secretary of State Hillary Clinton clarifies power exploitation for personal gains with no respect for laws and life in general.
——————————————————————————
United Kingdom – The Brexit vote on EU membership terminated incumbency replaced with yet another woman leadership in Britain from the conservative party aka Tory. Prime Minister Theresa May willingness towards nuclear confrontation confirmed during Parliament question session is alarming in context with nuclear meltdown. Nuclear armament claimed necessary as deterrent apparently reserved as exclusive rights amongst nuclear powers especially the ones complicit in the use of nuclear components as NATO ally viz. Britain on civilians in Iraq, Libya and recently in Syria.
The same argument was dismissed during Iran’s nuclear deal in Vienna in 2015 at the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) noting the glaring double standards on nuclear entitlements escalating tension in the world. Although this topic merits discussion on entirety, the reality deserves concentration.
Britain’s predecessor, Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher referred to as the Iron Lady led the nation to war in South Atlantic – better known as Falklands for Britain and Islas Malvinas for Argentina arguably disputed until today. Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher conservatism or Thatcherism sparked controversy on many issues including economic plan that left the poor poorer marginalizing vulnerable segments in society. Many remarks from Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher caught world attention and among them were the reference to developing nations as barbaric and on immigration, the woman Prime Minister initiated virginity test on women immigrants into Britain from India and other destinations definitely marked the irony.

Germany – the first female Chancellor Angela Merkel of Christian Democratic Union (CDU), the conservative faction with religious connotation absent Christian principles under incumbent Merkel’s leadership lay emphasis on European Union (EU), European Central Bank (ECB) governing euro currency in euro zone and International Monetary Fund (IMF) along with major international banks as parallel power.
Chancellor Angela Merkel avid advocacy for ECB, IMF and international banks packaged economic and monetary policy premised on austerity demanding fiscal responsibility from euro members in the face of severe economic crisis and soaring unemployment in Portugal, Italy, Ireland, Greece and Spain (PIGS) protracted financial and economic woes experienced until now.
Chancellor Angela Merkel cart blanche role using political threats in the aftermath of Greece public referendum with resounding no on austerity produced resignations from key figures in Greece ruling party in agreement with Greek voters’ option.
Chancellor Angela Merkel overture in this instance had no respect for Greece sovereignty.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel representation more of EU than Germany conspicuous in EU vote to lift ban on weapons supply to terror networks in Syria, Iraq and Libya instead of extending arms embargo that could have saved thousands of lives besides averting refugee problems to which
Chancellor Merkel explicitly denied asylum to millions forced to leave war torn Syria, Iraq and Libya.
Furthermore, Chancellor Angela Merkel defense contract and arms delivery to Saudi Arabia and nuclear laden submarine as a gift to Israel – the two states central in fomenting terror in the Middle East exemplify indifference to Saudi Kingdom’s human rights abuse using violence and women in particular and similarly Palestinian suffering in Israel occupied Palestine.
————————————————————————-
Israel – Prime Minister Golda Meir – The first and only female Prime Minister thus far in the State of Israel having served in Israeli military also referred to as the Iron Lady denied the existence of Palestine conforming to Zionist ideology on Jewish origin as chosen people ordained to be on Holy Land.
Prime Minister Golda Meir debacle reflected in October war or Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement and Prayer for peace in Jewish faith) war in 1973 between Arabs and Israel diminishing further prospects for a long political career with her resignation from the office.
Prime Minister Golda Meir controversial and militaristic foreign policy and especially disputing Palestine presence despite her arrival in 1921 as an immigrant from United States well before establishment of the state of Israel in Palestine conclusively defines the leadership failure to accept reality and foster peaceful relations with Palestinians and Arabs in the region.
———————————————————————
Australia – Prime Minister Julia Gillard – The first female deputy Prime Minister then elevated to Prime Minister post due to political party internal fractures only to be sidelined after not being able to survive no confidence vote. This was in a way hegemony orchestrated side show using women representative to demonstrate that competence is not women’s cup of tea.
The former Prime Minister Julia Gillard’s compliance to hegemony strategy projecting womanhood in bad light impetus challenge against such false representation and consistent effort to disqualify credible potential in a woman.

India – Cauvery Dispute between Karnataka and Tamil Nadu
September 17, 2016
By Padmini Arhant
The Supreme Court decision directing the state of Karnataka to share water from Cauvery river with Tamil Nadu has unfortunately attracted unnecessary disturbance in two southern states in India.
The recent violence and protests led by Karnataka farmers and entertainment industry members in opposition to judicial verdict might be justified as the groups disappointment and anguish over their requirements not addressed in the process.
However, the violent means to express grievance on any issue often undermine the cause and lead to unrest. Karnataka farmers and those objecting to water distribution to Tamil Nadu should review the situation rationally rather than politically that creates more tension in the otherwise possible amicable solution.
Cauvery river originating in Karnataka flowing into Tamil Nadu is essentially following the natural system. Interrupting the flow of any one or more rivers bound to disrupt functionality exacerbating problems at the source with overall impact.
Water scarcity is a common challenge in the absence of efficient mechanisms to compensate conditions varying from drought to contaminated ponds and wells posing serious health hazards in the community.
The recycling plant with effective treatment eliminating pollutants and carcinogens could serve in the reuse of water. The citizens efforts to avoid disposal of items and trash ending in reservoirs or water storage facilities could ease the burden on municipal corporations responsibility.
Clean drinking water is critical for survival with households in urban and rural areas facing acute water shortage due to lack of preparedness and planning to maintain steady water supply.
The rain water harvesting during monsoon or heavy rainy seasons is one of several methods to meet persistent deficiencies in water circulation for irrigational and general purpose.
Southern states – Karnataka and Tamil Nadu adeptness in technology and modern scientific techniques could benefit from public and private sector investments in refining desalination of water from ground wells and sea making the end product viable and safe for consumption.
The awareness and education on water conservation combined with proper utilization of excess water from wherever obtainable is the basic step to prevent routine difficulty. The recycling concept could be adapted not barring waste removal and management for clean water provision.
The collective obligations from citizens and relevant authorities coming together in reaching mutual goal on water availability to all without disruption would alleviate widespread suffering from minimal water access.
As for agitations and destruction of others assets and taxpayers expended city property, the approach is counterproductive benefitting none. The rage and fury blinds the mind prohibiting reasoning faculty to guide and resolve matter.
Among all good deeds, sparing water to anyone is the genuine human spirit given the element importance in life existence. No amount of wealth and material donations could ever replace quenching thirst with water.
Accordingly denying water under any circumstances would be depriving others the opportunity to exist and the action is inhumane not to mention the worst sin in lifetime.
I end this topic with a parable.
There was a king claiming pride on his kingdoms and vast acquisitions in possession. Then unexpectedly a traveler appeared and requested to see the king to exchange views on his travel experience in the kingdom. The traveler is granted permission to visit the royal court.
Much to the traveler’s frustration, the royal protocol forbids him from speaking until spoken to while he desperately seeks a moment to ask for a glass of water.
When the traveler is allowed to speak, he begins with Could I please have some water for I am very thirsty?
He is served meager water and told to present his opinion on his trip to the kingdom.
The traveler then resumes interaction.
Throughout my travel around your kingdom including my entry in the palace, I noticed the water fountains, waterfalls, lakes and ponds beautifying your premise and the city.
At the same time, the custom to serve regular water to guests is apparently not a tradition and one can get it only at considerable cost to my surprise.
Plain and clean drinking water is ordinarily offered as a welcome gesture that is not prevalent in your kingdom.
The traveler said the practice further confirmed impoverishment despite fancy objects and monuments as the symbol of economic status for water is the treasure from nature to enable and enrich life. When any living being whether human or other species need water they cannot be satisfied with anything else except water.
The king thought the traveler would have nothing but appreciations for the kingdom’s affluence and appearance. Then after the traveler’s candor realized the meaning of wealth and richness lies in simple and down to earth attributes like sharing life-saving water enhancing the beneficiary and benefactors’ well-being.
Water and air are natural endowments for life sustenance. The attempts barring flow of rivers and tributaries eventually merging to form the ocean is detrimental to ecological balance.
Any disagreements are best settled with understanding and respect for universal progress linked to interdependency.
Hope Cauvery is treated with deserving dignity as rivers freely flowing across the region contribute to lush environment and fertile land blessing life upon contact.
Peace to all!
Thank you.

அரசியல் புதிர் – Political Conundrum
August 12, 2016
எழுத்தாளர், ஆசிரியை மற்றும் தொகுப்பாளர்,
பத்மினி அர்ஹந்த்
வணக்கம்.
தமிழர்கள் உட்பட உலகத்தின் குடி மக்கள் எல்லோருக்கும் சில விஷயங்கள் பற்றி என் கருத்தைத் தெரிவிக்க விரும்புகிறேன். தற்கால உலக சூழ்நிலை சாதாரண மக்களுக்கு அதிக வாய்ப்பு இல்லாத பட்சத்தில் வறுமையும் நிறைய துன்பங்களையும் அவர்கள் சகித்து கொண்டிருக்கின்றனர். இதே மாதிரி மத்திய வருமான உறுப்பினரும் அவதிப் படுகின்றனர். அரசு மக்களின் பிரச்சனைகளை முழுமையாக தீர்க்காவிட்டாலும் அதை குறைப்பதற்கு வழியை தேடலாம். ஆனால் அதற்கு அக்கறையும் ஆலோசனையும் தேவை. இது இரண்டும் காணவில்லை. காரணம் – அரசாட்சியில் தலைமை புரிபவர்கள் இதை முக்கியமாகக் கருதுவதில்லை.
உதாரணமாக – பாரதத்தின் தமிழ் நாட்டில் மக்கள் அவதி பெரிதாகினும் முதல் அமைச்சர் தன் கட்சியின் விவகாரங்களை கண்காணிக்கவும் கட்சியிலுள்ள அதிபர்களை விளக்கவும் தண்டிக்கவும் நேரம் சரியாகிறது. இந்த சம்பவங்கள் கட்சியின் அலுவலகத்தில் வைத்து கொண்டாலும் ஒரு பக்கத்தில் இது அரசியல்வாதிகளின் குடும்ப பிரச்சினை என்று போய் விடும். ஆனால் இதை பிரசங்கம் செய்து நாடாளும் மன்றத்தில் நாடகம் நடப்பதில் மும்மரமாகியுள்ளார்.
திரை உலகத்திருந்து அரசியலுக்கு வந்ததினாலோ படம் காட்டும் பழக்கம் முத்திப்போனதில் ஆச்சரியமில்லை. மாநிலத்தின் நிலமையோ அல்லது பொது மக்களின் வேண்டிய வசதிகளைக் கவனிப்பதற்கு இவர்கள் கையில் ரொக்கத்தை திணித்தால்தான் எதுவும் நடக்கும். இவர்களுக்கு மீண்டும் மீண்டும் வோட்டை போட்டு சிம்மாசனத்தில் அமர்த்தி வைக்கும் பாமர மக்களும் நகரத்தில் வசிக்கும் செல்வந்தர்களும் அவர்களுடைய சுயநலன் நீடிக்க இந்த மாதிரி ஊழலில் மூழ்கிய பேர்வழிகளை ஆண்டாண்டு காலம் பதவியில் உட்கார அனுமதிப்பதால் மற்றவர்களுக்கு மிகுந்த அல்லல் அவஸ்தை உருவாகியுள்ளது.
இந்த கட்சியைத் தவறினால் எதிர்க் கட்சி இவர்களின் இராட்டை சகோதரர்.
இந்த நிலமை தமிழ் நாடு மற்றபடி எங்குமே தர்ம சங்கடமாகியுள்ளது. திரை உலகம், செய்தி, பத்திரிக்கை, வானொலி, டெலிவிஷன் யாவும் இவர்களின் கைவசம். இவர்களை புகழ்வதும், வாழ்த்துவதும் ஆக மொத்தம் இவர்களின் கவசமாகியுள்ளார்கள்.
உண்மையை மறைத்து பொய்யை மெய்யாக்குவது சூடான சாம்பார் சாதத்தில் நெய் விட்டது போல் ஆகி விடுகிறது. இவர்களுக்கு இது சர்வ சாதாரணம். செய்தி நிலையங்கள், திரைப்படம் ஆகியவைகள் மக்களின் குரலை நிராகரித்து அரசியலின் யந்திரமாக இருப்பினும், உண்மையை பேரம் பேசி விலைக்கு வாங்கி விடுகின்றனர்.
விலை வாசி புயல் போல் படர்ந்து வானத்தைத் தொட்டாலும், அது மக்கள் விதியாகிவிடுகிறது.
தமிழ் நாடு திரை உலகம் மற்ற நாட்டில் தமிழர்களின் கீழான ஸ்தானத்தையும், குறைகள், வேறுபாடு என்ற பல விதமான கஷ்டங்களை இந்தியாவிற்கும் உலகத்திற்கும் உணரவைப்பது பெருமையாக இருந்தாலும், தமிழ் நாட்டில் வாழும் குடி மக்கள் குடி நீர் இல்லாமல், வசிக்க இடமில்லாமல், மாணவர்கள் படித்து பட்டதாரி ஆகியும் வேலைக் கிடைப்பது குதிரை கொம்பாக இருப்பதை செய்தி, பத்திரிக்கை, டெலிவிஷன், திரைப்படம் என்ற பிரபல மையங்கள் மூலம் அரசியல் நிபுணர்கள், அறிஞர், மற்றும் கலைஞர் ஆகியோர்க்கு எடுத்து உரைத்தால் அது நிலவரத்தைக் கொஞ்சம் சீர் திருத்தலாம். ஆனால் இது நடக்கிற விஷயமில்லை.
நான் மேல் பகுதியில் கூறியது போல், தொடர்பு ஊடகங்கள் (Communication Media) ஊழல்வாதிகளுக்குச் சங்கு ஊதுவது அவர்களுக்கு சாதகமாகியுள்ளது. தமிழ் நாட்டில் சமீபத்தில் மூலைக்கு மூலை குடி நீருக்குப் பதில் மதுக் கடைகள் டாஸ்மாக் என்ற முறையில் குடியை கெடுக்கும் குடி பழக்கத்தைப் பரவிய அரசியல் கட்சிக்கு மக்களின் எதிர்ப்பு எந்த மாறுதலையும் தரவில்லை. அதற்கு ஏறு மாறாக மீண்டும் அந்தக் கட்சியும் அதன் தலைவியையும் திரும்ப ஆட்சிக்குக் கொண்டு வந்தது குடி அரசின் மிக பெரியத் தோல்வியாகும்.
மற்ற கட்சிகளும் இந்த வகையில் ஒன்றுதான். இந்த சீர் குழைந்த சிக்கல்களை நான் எடுத்துக் கூறினால், அவர்கள் தன்னிடமிருக்கும் பிரச்சார ஆயுதம் அதாவது மீடியா வழியாக தாக்குவதில் திறமை வாய்ந்துள்ளார்கள். தன்னைக் காப்பாற்றவும், தன் பதவியைப் பாதுகாப்பதும்தான் அவசியமாகியுள்ளது.
இது தமிழ் நாடு மற்றுமில்லை, இந்தியாவிலும், உலக பகுதிகளில் நடந்து வரும் அரசியல் வழக்கமாகி விட்டது. ஆனால் தமிழ் நாடு அரசியல் தரம் கெட்டு, மதி இழந்து குடி மக்களை குடி பழக்கத்தில் திசை மாற்றியது மனித குலத்திற்குத் தீங்கும் இழப்பையும் ஏற்றியுள்ளது. இதையெல்லாம் விட இவர்களை தட்டிக் கேட்பதில்லாமல், இவர்களுக்கு பூமாலை சூடி இவர்கள் படத்திற்கு முன்னாள் திருஷ்டிக் கழிப்பது மனித மூடத்தனம், பலஹீனம் தெளிவாகிறது.
கண் விழித்திருந்தும் பாதைத் தவறினால், அது மூலை உபயோகத்தில் குறையாகும்.
இத்துடன் இந்த சங்கதி முடிகிறது.
என்னிடமிருந்து மக்கள் சமுதாயம் சம்பந்த சர்ச்சை உங்கள் முன்னாள் விரைவில் காணலாம்.
மீண்டும் தொடர்பு கூடிய சிக்கிரமாகும்.
எல்லோருக்கும் என் மனமார்ந்த நன்றி.
இப்படிக்கு,

Immunity – War Crimes and Abuse of Power
July 9, 2016
By Padmini Arhant
Terror and terrorism emanating from profiteers of violence with agenda to prolong status quo is the twenty first century war against peace and unity.
Politics seeped in corruption and criminality justified as the means to remain in power through elections that legitimize illegitimacy is the norm that fuels chaos and turmoil in the tumultuous era.
The institutions, private organizations and secret society run governments poised as champions of democracy while unseating democratically elected choices for proxies representing the ideology and dogma prevalent much to self-detriment.
The success through ballots in the so-called democracies is largely based on campaign finance and unscrupulous strategy allowing the undesirable and establishment nominees to acquire power.
The electoral process is a platform misguiding the hungry and hopeless electorate in search for hope and change in life with the elected ultimately serving the campaign sponsors and economic stakeholders interest.
The incognito rule directing policies with representatives and agents in politics, economic sector, communication media and entertainment industry…not barring religious domain exemplify the state of affairs.
Any investigations and inquiry on wars clearly identifying the authorities misuse of power and cavalier approach would be effective and meaningful upon universal application of international law rather than selective incarceration and judgments witnessed time and again against Eastern Europe and African members targeted to convince the world on International Court of Justice role as UN body.
Furthermore, the nations proclaimed as democratic conducting probe on such matter utilizing tax payer funds could demonstrate serious commitment in advancing the inquest into indictments setting precedence to curb abuse of power and discretionary actions by the government claimed to represent the people.
Instead, the former and present chief executives are provided opportunity through media and surrogacy to self-exonerate on crimes against humanity rendering the independent or appointed committees’ arduous exercise futile to reinforce business as usual practice.
In any society that values democratic principles would hold every citizen accountable regardless of status for violation of laws and human rights reversing the paradoxical system.
The tradition granting immunity to political figures and celebrities on activities that would otherwise have legal repercussions for ordinary citizens is a vindication of crimes and criminal behavior adding insult to injury to victims and families in the apparent civil society.
The powerful forces aggression against powerless misinterpreting political mandate and operating without checks and balances in the increasingly cooperative and tolerant setting to blatant breach of electoral trust and sovereign integrity promotes carte blanche authority.
Unless the severity of damages in enabling counterproductive course and indulgence is addressed through mass consciousness predominantly affecting them, the path to destruction would continue under the pretext of pervasive benefit despite reality.
The mind invasions in the name of art and entertainment as well as every possible medium that attracts public attention are engaged for propaganda and illusive portrayal.
Although the nuances are intended to tarnish images with the efforts in vain, the disclaimers conveniently used in defense to absolve them of possible legal consequence on character defamation and mendacity.
Again the noble and righteous would introspect and refrain from being part and parcel of contemptuous dealing.
The world’s progress is sustainable with law and order made applicable from top to bottom without exception rejecting exclusive privilege based on political and economic position.
Peace to all!
Thank you.

EU – BREXIT
June 27, 2016
By Padmini Arhant
The referendum in the United Kingdom favoring BREXIT has sparked reaction and sentiments followed by political resignations in Britain.
Understanding the concept, ideology and strategy in addition to trajectory of any organization, union and institution with or without transformation facilitates fair evaluation.
Accordingly, EU role and functionality since inception and relevantly in recent memory is presented for clarity and focus on reality.
European Union with 27 states as members including Britain until now is essentially a parallel government headed by President, Foreign Secretary and key stakeholders appointed to run the alternate body not limited to regional affairs.
EU emergence with bureaucrats and political leaderships in various designations assume power that typically undermines sovereign status of member nation.
EU embarked on consolidating prospects with respect to trade and commerce within Europe not excluding human resources through immigration and multilateral treaty binding members to reciprocate on economic activities for European progress.
Such framework attracts interest and boost position besides diverse aspirations to optimize gains and mitigate losses from the venture.
The model in practice provided temporary results with nations vying for EU membership subject to approval upon satisfying EU requirement.
However, with benefits not commonly distributed the economic downturn produced high unemployment and trade imbalance not to mention exploitation of human capital.
EU as the central authority located in Brussels, Belgium exert control over economic and monetary policy.
Notwithstanding extensive involvement in political governance of weak economies like Greece and alike imposing austerity in the name of fiscal responsibility that continues to exacerbate economic woes creating generational indebtedness.
EU formation and subsequent introduction of euro as the preferred currency unit set the trend for struggling nations in the territory to peg the economy on fledgling euro in the hope of economic recovery.
The outcome thus far evidenced in selective dominance in the union enable financial and economic advantage to them at vast majority expense comprising ordinary citizens, labor force and educated youths in particular.
The transition cost vulnerable states like Cyprus, Greece and similar euro members to succumb to harsh financial terms and conditions not barring unethical means on compliance.
The prominent financial institutions viz. European Central Bank (ECB), the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and international banks influence on the matter with heads of the government as powerful EU representatives obliging bankers demands in debt management is not a populist doctrine.
Furthermore, EU membership is based on meeting criteria that are not necessarily confined to economy but extends beyond pledging allegiance to EU policy.
The global recession in late 2007 with sub-prime mortgage crisis originating from the United States and lack of transparency and accountability in the financial dealings had contagion effect.
Europe economic stagnancy under EU in the absence of necessary growth is yet to demonstrate measures to ease persisting uncertainty and volatility in the market performance. The significant impact on the desperate job situation cannot be ignored either.
EU stance on immigration clarified in member states like France, Germany, Italy and Spain…immigrants plight forced to contend with lower wages and social inequality.
EU ideology and strategy premised on geopolitical expansion in partnership with the United States as NATO ally confirmed in Ukraine leaving the once stable nation in chaos and turmoil.
In the middle east, EU decision to lift arms embargo rather than reinforcing weapons ban to terror networks now proliferated as ISIS and ISIL contributed to refugee problems in Syria, Iraq and Lebanon.
Syrian refugees seeking political asylum are denied entry by EU with greater efforts and plan mobilized to curb citizens’ influx from war torn Syria and Iraq.
As for Islamophobia, the cartoon depiction and denigration of Islam’s Prophet from EU member state was entertained as freedom of expression as it goes with other religion or spiritual representation.
On the contrary, there is zero tolerance to constructive critique on issues affecting people’s lives and the world at large.
The celebrity worship with proxies granted immunity on serious violations and crimes define the detrimental tradition.
In the context of BREXIT vote, the discussion on facts over hype spreading clamor and hysteria would exemplify propriety. The subversion and spin are distractions at best and deception at worst when forming conclusions on public opinion.
Britain having retained the original currency – pound sterling and never subscribed to euro during membership perhaps explain the reservations on euro.
The decline of Britain’s pound against dollar on BREXIT projected as the strength of EU is a perspective without justification.
Change is an evolutionary process in the experimental and natural event.
Peace to all!
Thank you.

Colonialism, Nazism and Neo Nazi Evolution
February 28, 2016
By Padmini Arhant
Nazism in twentieth century linked to world war II with the rise of Germany for global conquest.
Nazism related holocaust is widely propagated topic until today. Holocaust formed the basis for sources to seek solution leading to perennial conflict in the Middle East – Israel and Palestinian crisis.
In an effort to compensate holocaust victims, the measure established a state within a state farther away from geographic location, Germany – the holocaust origin leaving the local population in Palestine stateless in their homeland.
Meanwhile the atrocities against natives and genocide worldwide in colonial era extended at present apparently not significant to end status quo. The reference in particular is Palestine and alike.
Colonialism emerged from presumptuous and self-proclaimed kingdoms asserting expansionism colonized and annexed territories at will with little or no respect for sovereignty and integrity of nations near and far.
The trend continued in contemporary period with similar traits and defined western democracy.
Nazism emanating from workers’ party representation surely was devious subverting socialism concept demanding equitable income distribution in society.
Nazism flourished in the past century with colonialists’ direct engagement fraternizing relations for vested interests.
Colonial members and oligarchy decisive role as Nazi cohorts somehow not factored in the selective vilification of those frequently cited as Nazi renegade in previous century.
Nazism and colonialism as two sides of the coin engender prejudice and preference to pedigree with Aryan race superimposed on developments in the relevant time not to mention prevalent practice in this regard.
Colonialists courting Nazis deemed tenable in contrast to patriot’s defiance to colonialism committing massacre and gross human rights violations is subject to scrutiny.
Indian freedom fighter Subash Chandra Bose then forming Indian National Army and alleged alliance with Japan during world war II is denounced by colonial representatives at every opportunity.
Juxtaposed rapid transformation post world war II with western powers – United States, UK, France and Israel’s ties strengthened not severed between them and Germany as well as Japan even though Germany was Nazi represented and Japan under Emperor Hirohito adapted authoritarianism.
Japan is now United States ally and second largest creditor while Germany remains NATO partner in hegemony goals and promoted to UNSC P5+1 exclusive club.
Notwithstanding western media and press coverage on Japan’s Emperor Hirohito descendants in modern times no less than adulation parallel to Britain’s Royalty despite events described during Nazism and totalitarianism emulating colonialism reminiscent of dark history.
Indian political class secrecy subscribing to classified information on independence movement leader Subash Chandra Bose existence and demise tantamount complicity to imperialists stance on this issue.
Colonialism and Nazism essentially serve agenda aimed at global dominance. Neo Nazism targets ethnic diversity and minority groups vulnerable to political gains predisposed in altering demography.
The twenty first century policy is renewed colonialism spreading incessant violence and discrimination through manufactured and fostered terrorism instrumental in destabilizing nations for supremacy.
The counterproductive actions exemplified in terror sponsoring and strategy dedicated to eliminating civilizations is the dichotomy for those presiding over delineation of respective participation in Nazi age.
Colonialism, feudalism, Nazism, neo-Nazism and corporatism share common values – empowerment at the disadvantaged and disenfranchised expense.
Peace to all!
Thank you.
