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

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

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

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

GREECE – Plebiscite on TROIKA Austerity
July 4, 2015
By Padmini Arhant
Greece forced into referendum on austerity by IMF, ECB and EU is greed driven strategy.
Greed is a terrible disease and those affected by this illness could contain symptoms with self-restriction. When they are overwhelmed with greed they succumb to fate. Greed consumes them.
Greed is the cause for them to become international predators than creditors.
Even Jesus Christ could not reason with moneylenders and compelled to use violence. Jesus Christ whipped them and condemned their unreasonable conduct.
TROIKA could address this matter through proper engagement with the present government and accommodate reality into equation.
Austerity has been devastating for nations and the people in Greece are simply threatened to submit to TROIKA’s extortion.
TROIKA and forces galvanizing YES vote in the plebiscite do not necessarily win with fraudulent means to show victory.
The YES vote to TROIKA would give legitimacy on debt slavery. The YES voters are in kamikaze operation for they are not only doomed, their careless action would make the remaining citizens to share similar destiny.
TROIKA’s bailout requirements is a direct claim and control over Greece economy and human capital i.e. the citizens to bear debt burden lasting over generations when the survival of the present population is made nearly impossible with their austerity policy.
Austerity on Greece is prosperity for TROIKA. Again not everlasting as anything founded on deceit and exploitation would expedite the source conclusion.
TROIKA is clueless about austerity considering the life of opulence they maintain as entitlement at Greece and other nations expense.
In the Dark Age, human mind is able to relate to pain only through personal experience. That’s why there is apathy to human suffering among those prioritizing personal well-being and pleasure.
The financial institutions behind GREECE meltdown were handsomely rewarded for the reckless and unlawful indulgence as investment bankers trading hedge funds with toxic securities in the global market.
These firms were treated with special attention using United States taxpayer funds in the bailout.
Now United States as the chief controller of IMF together with EU and ECB lack credibility in their demand on GREECE and people of other recession hit economies to oblige.
The people are enduring the sins committed by financial brokers and major players in the windfall adopting unscrupulous practice.
The compare and contrast between Germany and Greece do not reflect the facts and as usual missing in substance.
Greece contribution to the world with philosophers like Aristotle, Socrates, Thales and Epicures to name a few amongst several renowned in this field, astronomers – Aristarchus and Eudoxus, physicists viz. Archimedes, mathematician Pythagoras and political scientists are slighted in the biased comparisons presented as analysis by TROIKA hired communication media.
Germany success as euro zone member and leading state in EU is because of exceptional advantage to Germany over the rest in the 28 members bloc.
Germany – the predominantly export oriented nation specializing in heavy metals and high end manufacturing goods related to automobile, aviation and other transportation industry use euro in leveraging against Greece and counterparts from eastern Europe in trade.
German deutsche mark was not feasible in the export trade especially with Europe in deep recession and vagaries in the global economy.
On the other hand euro facilitates Germany to neutralize volatility via distribution amongst members in EU.
The debt saddled states like Greece, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Ireland (PIGS) and eastern European countries are essentially providing for Germany in the balancing act with investors raking profits in Greek bonds compared with low yielding German security in the lending exchange amongst TROIKA.
The banks capitalization exclusively focused on lending for debt repayment to TROIKA ignores economic development in Greece and PIGS states.
Greece returning to original currency drachma would enable export to developing nations and emerging economies besides tourism generating revenue with global visitors from far and wide.
Germany described as nation not paying high wages as Greece is a misnomer.
In fact Germany social security payments and unemployment benefits are far greater in the industrialized world and adapted by Australia in the hand out to those choosing to remain unemployed leaving the immigrants to drive the economy.
Australian dole checks largely drawn by white majority in the country is the influence of Germany policy.
Germany industrial output is from East Germany more than the west given the hard labor tradition under Soviet rule. Germany productivity also attributed to immigrants in Germany despite reservations towards immigrants in deutsche land.
Greece need to allocate budget to expand broadband access and invest in technology based government services that would cut down bureaucracy and shift the labor force in technology oriented jobs for efficiency and transparency.
Greece could also mobilize the nation towards renewable energy like solar and hydropower minimizing energy dependency and costs in the public and private sector.
Greece anti-corruption measures beginning with government from top to bottom would build trust and seriousness in the treatment of the epidemic.
Further on the economic front – Greece needs to use the natural resources such as marble, clay, nickel, coal, bauxite, ore and chromate notwithstanding lignite, petroleum, iron ore, zinc, lead, magnetite, salt and hydropower potential to the maximum.
Greece could promote local production and business in these areas with incentives to small, medium and large companies inviting subscribers to government projects and spearhead domestic campaign to bring offshore holdings to jumpstart economy.
Agriculture land to grow crops and produces for the country and overseas markets would be another economic boost alleviating poverty and unemployment.
Tourism showcasing the Greek islands and Parthenon’s and other attractions would be lucrative with drachma as the currency rather than euro to stifle competition from neighbors on euro currency that makes travel expensive for foreign tourists visiting Europe.
These are preliminary steps to rebuild Greece economy and improve financial situation.
Greece should recognize that existence in tandem with EU and TROIKA financing would only deplete the treasury. The money borrowed from them on austerity basis proved destructive thus far.
Calling for direct investments and job-oriented programs are the meaningful ways to revive economy.
The resistance from TROIKA in this context exemplifies profiteering from citizens’ economic misery that cannot be extended any longer.
Lending for exacerbating economic woes via austerity is TROIKA doctrine. The scenario is imposed with no flexibility for reconciliation.
TROIKA trend is unsustainable for them and the victims of austerity.
The prevalent austerity to intensify citizens plight best renounced and instead the practical approach to resurrect economy is the viable solution to Greece problem.
Greece is at the crossroads and citizens exercising discernment with NO vote in the referendum paramount to SAVE GREECE from foreign seize of assets along with economic and political freedom.
Nation prevails with people pledging allegiance to sovereignty.
May wisdom and rationale provide guidance in the Greece referendum!
Good Luck! to citizens and the government in Greece in the solidarity against austerity.
Peace to all!
Thank you.

Greece – Economic Crisis And Troika Deal or Extortion?
July 2, 2015
By Padmini Arhant
The ongoing economic crisis in the Mediterranean country Greece originated from the sub prime mortgage debacle in the United States in December 2007.
The hedge fund and international securities traded by investment firms nowadays as equity management companies viz. Goldman Sachs then engaged in Greece is initially responsible for Greece economic recession due to bad decisions and directives including misrepresentation to creditors at that time.
Goldman Sachs along with many financial institutions behind gross mishandling and mismanagement triggering economic bleeding in early 2008 experienced earlier in Iceland and endured until today in Greece, Portugal, Spain, Ireland and Italy viz. PIGS…in Western and Northern Europe were bailed out with no stipulations and granted taxpayers funds exceeding trillion in the United States treating the cash payout to bankers as their privilege.
Subsequently the global economic meltdown with severity in Europe weighted down Greek economy tied with euro zone.
The euro as the national currency in Greece and throughout EU excluding England with over optimism on the common unit has failed to deliver the value pegged to the unstable and superficial commodity.
European Union policy of austerity on Greece strangling the country with demands on economic reforms primarily favoring the international creditors viz. International Monetary Fund (IMF), European Central Bank (ECB) and European Commission (EC) or EU presided financial package essentially behind Greece default.
The troika imposed austerity to streamline spending in the absence of economic growth stimulants in Greece evidently debilitated the cash strapped nation.
The two bailouts to Greece in 2010 and 2012 €240 billion ($272 billion) substantially expended in servicing the debt to international lenders viz. the troika – IMF, ECB and EC as well as the financial institutions with stake in Greece rather than direct investments in the economy promoting employment and business prospects for the citizens across the country.
The massive layoffs, salary cuts and pension reductions in compliance with EU bailout requirement further exacerbated the economic situation.
Following the adverse effects of austerity, the Greek electorate elected the anti-austerity political party – Syriza headed by Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras forming the coalition government with the independent party in Greece.
The ruling party in Greece consistently maintained negotiations with international lenders since election on January 25, 2015 alongside systematic improvement in reform focused on alleviating poverty and adopting strategy to satisfy obligations on the bailout program.
The troika conditions to incumbent government request on the six months extension to bailout deal deserve attention.
Greece approached the international lenders aka Troika to grant from the profits on ECB held Greek bonds to meet the immediate financial needs. The fund €12 billion ($13.4 billion) was scheduled as the offer.
In that amount €1.6 billion ($1.79 billion) payment to the IMF on June 30, 2015 was the priority and now that date has expired. Another €6.7 billion is to be settled with ECB in July and August.
Greece was offered a possible bailout not intended to relieve the economy from deterioration instead to enable Greece to pass that amount €1.6 billion ($1.79 billion) to IMF as loan payment at exorbitant interest rates and prepare for payments to ECB within weeks of receiving the third bailout amount.
Greece essentially used by lenders to profit from lending through money circulation amongst them under the pretext of rescue scheme with Greek citizens forced to bear the lending costs and high interest.
- Reducing pension payments that would only affect consumer spending with impact on retail business and ripple effects on the wholesale and manufacturing on domestic products while restricting import from EU and abroad.
- Increase Value Added Taxes (VAT) – in the dire economic environment, the average consumers forced to pay more taxes in addition to hikes up until now to payback lenders is an extreme measure contributing to consumer woes and limiting business activity in return.
- Military Expenditure cuts – perhaps setting the stage for complete NATO control over the nation.
- Privatization of country’s airports – the proposition from EU and lenders is a deviation from relevant options and subscribe to ulterior goals.
In response to international lenders harsh austerity imposition;
Greece Government reforms comprised – efficient tax collection methods, social security system and streamlining government bureaucracy. The additional steps included anti-corruption and promoting business as well as backing privatization in the economic sector.
As a result of Greece government and Troika failure on the agreement, the referendum on July 5 is expected to reject or accept EU, ECB and IMF rigorous austerity.
Despite Greece administration’s numerous concessions and adjustments to accommodate EU and lenders chronic treatment evidently a flawed recommendation,
The lenders declined the roadmap that had 70 percent of Troika trails and 30 percent Greece government shelter to save the economically deprived population from abject poverty.
Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras has called the nation for NO vote on EU austerity in the upcoming referendum.
The last minute overtures from the Greek leadership to EU and creditors has been in vain.
Greece citizens need to understand the entire scenario and act accordingly to relieve them from the persisting economic calamity and potential power vacuum paving way for EU and partners to install the government of their choice like in Ukraine.
The present Greece government is poised to resign upon YES referendum to EU and international creditors ultimatum.
EU and creditors stringent austerity on economically struggling nations has been counterproductive. Yet there is no acknowledgment from them and the hard line approach towards Greece is similar to the neighbor Cyprus account.
Cyprus bailout was tied to closure of the nation’s second largest bank, Laiki Bank and a 47.5 percent cut on deposits over 100,000 euros at the Bank of Cyprus for recapitalization.
The same formula was applied to Iceland problem and led to brink of economic collapse.
Cyprus capital Nicosia was hamstrung like Greece now and Cypriot parliament pushed into first post-bailout budget prior to receiving €83 million as installment payment from Troika in late 2013 and early 2014,
The austerity on Cyprus was identical to instructions to Greece – pensions and salaries were targeted with the outcome being dramatic escalation in poverty and unemployment in the country.
Interestingly Troika projection on Cyprus economic status after EU and euro zone austerity was the gross domestic product contraction to 7.7 percent in 2013.
IMF, ECB and EC/EU prolonged austerity only tightens the noose around citizens to submit to unreasonable unaffordable trend.
IMF and World Bank legacy in transforming developing nations to banana republic as it happened in Argentina, Panama, Chile, Indonesia and Mexico…are few of many countries drawn into the debt dragnet.
The developments against Cyprus and Greece serve as strong reminder for the people to protect their sovereignty.
The international creditors regrettable actions thus far confirm the reputation as predators ignoring the fact that austerity alone without revenue not viable for economic recovery.
Greece is confronted with EU and euro zone pursuit to topple present government for the stance against austerity based on reality.
If the referendum on July 5 anything like the event on Scotland independence with fraudulent means generating the predetermined outcome, Greece future would be bleak.
EU attempt to expel Greece government with Prime Minister Alexis Tspras is tactfully deployed creating circumstances for the government to seek people consent on EU austerity in the background of Syriza party elected to power to spare the citizens from economic plight inflicted via austerity.
In a way EU’s tactical move is to turn people against the government with Troika officials not entertaining Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras modified reforms to satisfy lender’s extraordinary gains from human misery.
Greece would survive the economic and political storm on its shores in returning to original currency – drachma for euro survival is not possible considering the lenders’ and EU irrational economic growth resistant strategy crippling economies to the point of no return.
Greece was the first nation to introduce democracy to the world and when democracy is threatened by forces to unseat the caring government that prioritize people over self-interest, the citizens must rise to the occasion and safeguard liberty that would then guarantee economic progress.
Greece voting NO to austerity on July 5 and retaining their honor by rallying with the current government opposed to EU plan that denies decent wages, pensions and business opportunity for jobs would demonstrate fairness prevailing over darkness.
Troika deal is nothing more than extortion exploiting the critical moment in Greece.
Greece defiance to EU and international banks austerity is the saving grace.
Greece unity to proudly defend the country from overt control under the guise of monetary aid would prevent Greece economy from free fall.
The clarion call to Greece is to back your government under the leadership of Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras and alliance to overcome the external challenge.
The major stumbling block is EU and euro zone membership with inherent complexity such as any submission on economic matter is subject to review, debate and approval by every other member state parliament and political consensus within.
The irony – EU preaching austerity hardly observes the tradition with EU officials and delegations appointments and salaries being an extravagant affair. Even to hire the EU appointee, the amount spent in the recruitment process is not less than million euro.
EU insistence on fiscal discipline exempt them from the protocol.
Good Luck and best wishes to Greece and the government of Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras in the speedy economic revival as an independent nation.
Peace to all!
Thank you.

Incognito Rule Hypocrisy
June 29, 2015
By Padmini Arhant
My opponents are essentially the opposition forces resisting peace, universal freedom and harmony.
They trade venom and expect honey in return.
Their violations of others rights and privacy are regarded their prerogative and entitlement.
They need to realize that imperial and colonial attitude and disposition has no place in the present and future cosmic oriented time.
The proxies and servile contingency are on board the sinking Titanic. Hence death threats from them and their masters would have irreversible impact on them.
The immature posturing further exposes the prevalent insecurity and trepidation prompting saber rattling from them.
When they engage in smear campaigns and personal attacks they should also have the courage and integrity to receive appropriate response.
Is this not a fair expectation from those whom they target with propaganda for defamation and denigration?
When I respond to such unruly conduct by them, their reaction is to characterize my response as me being a reactionary.
The wind does not blow in one direction.
Incognito Rule desperation cannot be feigned any longer with the activities viz. pedophilia, philandering and promiscuity experimenting lewd desires in Bohemian Grove speak volume of the participants real identity.
Briefly, the opponents along with their proxies have no credibility to dictate me on propriety.
Moving along – I would like to focus on two important issues that deserve attention.
The United States Supreme Court ruling on two matters – Obama Care and Same Sex Marriage.
Obama Care – the health care legislation that was meant to be health care reform to correct the inherently flawed system was fortified with more opportunity for the health insurance and health care industry to exert control and exploit the imposition of mandatory health insurance subscription that became effective in January 2014.
In the absence of stipulations to meet their end of the bargain, the health insurance and health care industry position solidified while leaving 37 million new subscribers brought into health care ambit as a result of compulsory health insurance purchase to deal with health care industry policy.
There are many in the United States who cannot afford due to Affordable Care Act or Obama Care providing dominant status to health insurance and health care industry.
The exchange of favors in the process leading to health care legislation and mutual monetary benefits amongst negotiators cannot be ignored.
Furthermore, the quid pro quo between the administration and Supreme Court justices as the White House nominees is instrumental in upholding Obama Care for the second time.
I reiterate my statement from the past that lifetime appointment to Supreme Court in the United States is detrimental to democracy and the tradition maintained to protect the respective political parties interests much to the republic despair and disadvantage.
The cases are – 2000 Presidential Election favoring then republican candidate George W. Bush.
Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission – allowing Corporations and Special interests in the domestic and foreign shores to own state and national election depriving people representation.
Rejecting citizens plea on war crimes committed during Iraq war and the lawsuit against former defense secretary Donald Rumsfeld and accomplice denied by the highest court on land.
Now Supreme Court decision on Obama Care is honoring the pact amongst the appointees and the administration.
With respect to United States Supreme Court recognition of Same Sex marriage – the issue is politically motivated rather than eliminating social prejudice and marginalization of demography and segments in society.
Regardless, I consider this a huge victory in humanitarian context.
The incognito rule and contingency spare none and nothing with inalienable trait of parasitic existence.
The incognito rule obsession with citizens’ life comprising massive and invasive surveillance notwithstanding police brutality on the street is overt transition into a police state.
Accordingly religion, social issues, politics, economy and environment are abused to masquerade declining status.
Incognito rule and their representatives in the legislative, executive and judiciary care less about the existing social inequality and crimes against citizens from different background based on race, religion, ethnicity and sexual orientation.
The shooting spree targeting African Americans in church and Main Street would not persist unabated and likewise detainees in Guantanamo Bay and secret prisons would not be held indefinitely without due process i.e. legal access to prove innocence.
Again the police brutality towards unarmed civilians – the African Americans in particular would not be slighted with occasional ceremonial gestures to display concern only confirming disingenuous act.
The juveniles and adults held in the prison industrial complex in the United States would not become commodities for profitability in the prison trade.
The taxpayers funded police force unleashed to threaten and harm the unarmed citizens on racial bias.
National army used as the incognito power personal army to militarize the planet.
The current trend is sponsoring terrorism and cannibalism in the quest for global conquest.
I will be back with my thoughts on election used by incognito power to prolong the unsustainable degenerative demonstrably destructive rule on the planet.
Peace to all!
Thank you.

Incognito Rule Hypocrisy
June 29, 2015
By Padmini Arhant
Hello Everyone,
I present the topic Incognito rule hypocrisy.
Please click on the audio link for the content.
Although the pictures are worth a thousand words – some might need explanation.
The obsession with tall syndrome deserves clarification to dispel myths in this context.
The tall palm tree or the cypress tree in the pictures above do not provide shade for shelter during sunny or rainy day compared with banyan, pipal and other trees of medium heights in natural environment.
The coconuts from a palm tree are not easily accessible and require mechanism to climb the tree to collect the fruit unlike the medium height tree allowing anyone regardless of size to pick the hanging fruits from it.
Poignantly the modest height Pipal tree in Bodh Gaya, India – is famously known as the seat of enlightenment with Avatar of Lord Vishnu as Lord Buddha attaining Nirvana – the liberation of soul for union with Supreme soul. Please see illustration above.
To narrow minds anything better and greater would always appear smaller. The disposition despite towering heights make the source diminutive in stature and character – the relevant attributes in life.
Another example – The dinosaur Tyrannosaurus Rex – T-Rex is also a tall carnivore that wreaked havoc on earth and eventually became extinct. Tyrannosaurus derived from Tyranny that this TALL creature exhibited during existence.
Let this not be forgotten – the body of any length and size must be discarded upon departure from earth. Accordingly any pride and prejudice in this respect is a reflection of shallow mind.
Learning and knowledge is demonstrated in pure thoughts and deeds freeing the self from ignorance.
Ignorance could be a bliss or an abyss.
Peace to all!
Thank you for your interest.

Africa – Burundi – Power Struggle And Electoral Process
June 27, 2015
By Padmini Arhant
The East African nation Burundi is forced into political crisis with incumbent President Pierre Nkurunziza seeking third consecutive five year term in office after serving from 2005 until 2015.
Burundi constitution allows maximum two terms in office. President Pierre Nkurunziza decision to extend term in office and subsequent measures to compete in the Presidential election has led to public protests with government violent crackdown deploying militia against unarmed citizens and opposition factions plunging the nation into political instability.
Not long ago Burundi was ravaged in civil war over ethnic clashes between Hulu and Tutsi tribes that began in 1993 and ended in 2005.
The election of President Pierre Nkurunziza in 2005 and the administration misuse of power until now evidently prompted unsuccessful military coup followed by arrests and unrest in the country.
Election is meaningful upon the process remaining fair, free, constitutional, transparent and most importantly devoid of corruption and violence.
Unfortunately in contemporary politics such expectation has become a tall order even though the electoral process without these basic requirements facilitates undesirable and unworthy choices to be elected to power only to abuse authority verifiable in legacy.
Furthermore removal of taxpayer funded extraordinary privileges and benefits in public office including means to earn kickbacks from various deals with economic and other sectors that is a major attraction in the fast track to wealth amassment in politics would skim disingenuous and unscrupulous entities from participation.
Politics would then perhaps attract selfless and genuinely dedicated members to do the needful for the people and the nation.
Additionally, anyone could always engage in community and national service using personal wealth and resources for that would confirm sincerity and commitment rather than aspiring political positions at taxpayers’ expense predominantly to achieve self and vested interests.
The leaderships after completing term in office would be wise to contribute positively as a member of civil society and renounce ambitions that are counterproductive.
The purpose behind constitution is to remind leaders and political members to abide by the rules and not slight the document to suit their convenience.
Any political system governed by hunger for power, fortune and individual goals to prolong self-rule and dynasty violate democracy denying the nation – republic status.
Burundi President Pierre Nkurunziza stepping down from office enabling other candidates to contest in the Presidential and national election would be honorable and set precedence in the present and future to respect the rule of law exempting none in the country.
The action would save the nation from unnecessary bloodshed and chaos for Burundi could no longer afford or sustain turmoil.
The lawmakers as law-breakers trend are the reason behind dysfunctional government.
The noble path is to lead by example demonstrating loyalty and trustworthiness through deeds not unending desire to claim authority against population will.
The people in Burundi deserve peaceful existence to rebuild lives towards progress and prosperity.
The development across the state possible when national leadership and government engage in constructive role and refrain from unleashing people paid services like police force and army to quell citizens voice.
Prioritizing country over self and political motives is necessary for resolution.
Best wishes to citizens in Burundi in gaining recognition for people choice governance.
Peace to all!
Thank you.
