Lebanon – Tripoli Unity And Peace Paramount For National Security

May 23, 2013

BY Padmini Arhant

The ongoing clashes in the neighborhoods of second largest city Tripoli in Lebanon has reportedly resulted in 14 deaths including 2 army soldiers during efforts to disperse the fighting groups and many injured in the altercation.

Neighborhoods Bab al-Tabbaneh and Jabal Mohsen perpetual feud over Syria is senseless and serve none as revealed in the unnecessary death toll and destruction.

Any disagreements could always be exchanged in a civil manner through dialogue rather than adopting violent means to convey the message.

Bab al-Tabbaneh residents supporting western and gulf allies deployed terrorists against legitimate Syrian government perhaps are not well informed on ground reality involving atrocities committed by western and coalition sponsored terror networks against their fellow Muslims, Christians and other citizens in Syria.

With Tripoli close to Syrian border, the people living nearby towns and villages must be aware of heinous crimes by western and coalition sponsored terrorists roaming the streets in Syria and arbitrarily carrying out summary executions and massacre.

These terrorists could never represent any civilized population not only in Syria but also worldwide.

Unfortunately, there are always some elements in the community igniting sparks between two or more groups for personal benefits and satisfaction while consciously ignoring their irresponsible conduct flaring up chaos and casualty that could otherwise be avoided displaying maturity in dealing with social or political contentious issue.

Simultaneously, Jabal Mohsen stance favoring Syrian government could explore options to articulate Syrian crises to their neighbors in Bab al-Tabbaneh and others by inviting them to community reconciliation meeting for better understanding of events unfolding in Syria across the border.

Regardless of different stances maintained in the pro and anti-Syrian government political debate,

The citizens in Tripoli and across Lebanon must realize the proxy war in Syria is for regional dominance allowing Israel to establish as neo colonial power that is obviously not in Lebanon or regional interest in any stretch of imagination with Israel’s persistent violation of Lebanon air space and other activities already undermining Lebanese sovereignty in addition to threatening peace.

Notwithstanding Palestinian misery under Israel invasion and occupation over six decades or for that matter the declining status in the United States, Canada, Britain and France…prominently due to Israel’s direct control over political system and mass media.

As for western allies viz. the gulf states Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Turkey, Jordan and UAE marginalized in their role as western stooges in implementing agenda against an Arab state Syria.

Ironically the gulf states participation in the illegal invasion of Syria and unwillingness to terminate conflict is essentially expediting their turn as imminent targets in the neocolonial quest with Turkey having been deceptively subjugated through Patriot missiles installation and others like Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar, Jordan and Kuwait..in the form of permanent military base in their country.

The globalists and imperialists represented hegemony espousing Zionist ideology premised on greed and violence is endangering lives and liberty all around with an urgent requirement for deterrence to this effect.

Lebanon or any nation subjected to indefinite violence and confrontation from within or outside influence affects the region and eventually the entire world.

Hence Lebanon maintaining neutrality on Syria with tight border patrol restricting weapons and terrorists flow into Syria is the effective strategy to prevent spill over exacerbating local and humanitarian problem.

As such Lebanon has to focus on cabinet formation and arrive at pragmatic solutions on electoral law besides addressing economic and social issues prior to forthcoming national election.

Lebanon security is key to political stability in the country and no particular faction can possibly gain from instigating unrest in society.

Residents in Bab all-Tabbeneh and Jabal l Mohsen in Tripoli are urged to reconcile differences and end violence for peaceful co-existence.

Wishing residents in Tripoli and all over Lebanon tranquility and tolerance permeating across Middle East.

Peace to Lebanon!

Peace to all!

Thank you.

Syria – U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee Vote Support Terrorism And Cannibalism

May 22, 2013

By Padmini Arhant

United States Senate Foreign Relations Committee headed by democrat Senator Robert Menendez introduced the bill authorizing U.S. to directly support terror networks with lethal weapons – essentially endorsement of terrorism and cannibalism in Syria.

United States being the chief architect along with allies Israel, Britain, France and Germany have sponsored terrorists and implemented their agenda through gulf allies Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, UAE and Jordan to commit heinous crimes against defenseless and unarmed Syrian people.

The democrats and republican members reportedly approved $250 million to fund transition of the popular government of President Bashar al-Assad with a 15 –3 vote.

United States Foreign Relations Committee especially the Chairman democratic Senator Robert Menendez activities had led to recall action in 2010 citing U.S. Constitution tenth and seventeenth amendment granting the people of several states the inherent power –

“The Power of the People to Elect a United States Senator Includes the Power to Recall that Senator before the End of the Six-Year Term for which He Was Elected.”

In Senator Menendez case being the representative from the State of New Jersey, Article 1, Paragraph 2 of the 1844 New Jersey Constitution affirms, “[a]ll political power is inherent in the people.”

Further New Jersey recall provision enacted by 1993 amendment emphasized –

“The recall provision was a deliberate exercise of the people’s inherent powers to constitute their government according to their — not their government officials’ — view of the public good.”

The national and state constitutions categorically define the purpose behind electing representatives to public office for sole representation of the people electing them to power unlike prevalent practice that has pledged allegiance to sources undermining national sovereignty and seized republic power.

Interestingly, U.S. Senate bipartisanship displayed on all issues concerning the foreign nation Israel whether $3 billion annual aid over and above millions in arms delivery or conducting warfare on this foreign entity’s behalf i.e. spending trillions in Iraq alone followed by billions in Libya and now Syria.

Meanwhile domestic problems ranging from fixing the economy to gun control, education, health, immigration and environment indefinitely postponed due to famous gridlock leaving millions of American workers jobless, children in poverty, families on food stamps, shutting down schools, skyrocketing health care costs, veterans discarded after they lose their limbs and vital organs in incessant warfare and neglected infrastructure clearly indicative of political leaderships misplaced priority.

United States Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Senator Robert Menendez introduction of this bill to provide deadly weapons to terrorists despite them being responsible for loss of 80,000 innocent lives, at least 1.5 million refuges scattered across the borders in hostile conditions and several millions displaced within the nation due to U.S. sponsored terrorism explains the so-called lawmaker complicity in being the primary lawbreaker.

Evidently, all those Senators favoring annihilation and decimation of a sovereign nation with yes vote consciously committed to unconscionable act in their constituents and country’s name i.e. treason having no respect for life or civilian plight.

Another revelation in this extraordinary Senatorial prerogative in defiance of constitution, ethics and legality is abuse of power for destructive goals using American taxpayer dollars denying right to life to population in the United States and Syria with former forced into starvation considering a staggering 47 million American families are on food stamps while the latter slaughtered mercilessly by United States Senate Foreign Relations committee erroneous decision.

Senator Robert Menendez and colleagues recklessness and callousness to perpetuate terrorism in Syria is deplorable for no nation regardless of self-proclaimed supremacy has authority or carte blanche executive power to wage proxy war against sovereign nation unleashing terror on children, women and men not barring cannibalism in the extreme aspect of United States and allies manufactured crises.

Proceeding with presumptuous illegal intervention rather than ending the conflict in Syria to save lives allowing citizens of that country to heal and recover from the unspeakable crimes against them justify impeachment and recall of members in the United States Senate Foreign Relations committee elected to serve in national and humanity interest not otherwise.

Notwithstanding natural phenomenon response – the unequivocal force to reckon with in the event to prolong genocide in Syria.

United States and Britain ultimatums to Syrian people demanding ouster of their leader and President Basher al-Assad for western delusions appropriately suitable in respective domains given the political establishment loyalty to hegemony slighting Americans and Britons declining economic status.

Furthermore, United States and Britain expecting citizens of independent Syria to acknowledge bizarre overture in the prelude to international peace conference confirms the western leaderships respect or the lack thereof for global peace and security.

Abandoning counterproductive measures and adopting peaceful strategy by honoring Syrian sovereignty and self-determination rights is the only alternative to avert imminent disaster affecting the origin in epic proportion.

Wishing Syrian citizens, President Basher al-Assad along with leaderships in government, national defense force and across society successful termination of violence and terror in their native land.

Peace to Syria!

Peace to all!

Thank you.

Turkey – Western Ploy To Diminish National Status and Sovereignty

May 21, 2013

By Padmini Arhant

The Mediterranean country with imperial past as the Ottoman Empire was promptly terminated from advancing then by British Raj having never ceased imperialistic quest until today.

Likewise in the twenty first century Turkey on the rise as the developed, tolerant and moderate nation intercepted again by the west reversing the trend and made the leading terror facilitator against neighbor Syria with whom Turkey had maintained normal bilateral relations prior to western destructive invasion and occupation of nations across Middle East.

Turkey steady development in all aspects qualifying to serve as a model to Islamic nations and others for secular democracy, social acceptance and economic opportunity capsized like the boat in the sea upon turbulence disguised as western coalition of the willing incentivized with sinking EU membership.

In 2010, Israeli commandos attacked Turkey Flotilla Mavi Marmara on international waters killing at least 9 or 10 Turkish aid workers and injured many on board despite the passenger liner early notice to Israel regarding humanitarian supplies to Palestinians in Israeli blockaded Gaza.

The incident is yet to be heard in the court even after global condemnation on Israel’s brazen operation producing casualties and emergency relief items seizure.

Contrarily any other nations were to be involved in the crime especially the ones listed as western adversaries, UNSC would have imposed embargo and ICC sentence not less than life imprisonment.

As such, UNSC continues to intensify sanctions on western foes regardless of lack of evidence against them.

Unfortunately, the western powers discriminatory practice and flair for arbitrary sanctions have created millions of enemies considering these harsh measures are directed at the people of these nations and unwillingness to correct the unfair economic and financial restrictions backfire at the U.S and Europe economy in denying their businesses access to these huge markets that could otherwise be mutually beneficial.

As a result corporations move overseas to location that offers trade expansion.

Obviously sanctions not only hurt target nations leading to genocide witnessed in Iraq and North Korea but also impact United States and EU in depriving their work force jobs besides contracting exports to potential buyers abroad.

Turkish leadership not having pursued legal course against Israel’s aggression on Flotilla siege including Turkish citizens deaths created a perception of weakness about Turkey in western mindset with United States President Barack Obama forbidding Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan from making anti-Israel references on Flotilla in the Turkish leader’s UN address in 2010.

Even though diplomatic ties were severed between Ankara and Tel Aviv at that time, the western dominance over Turkish government was conspicuous throughout and surfaced in the proxy war against Syria.

In 2001, United States and NATO referred to Pakistan as an ally in the fictitious war on terror used as premise for invasion and occupation of Afghanistan.

A decade later in 2011, adopting the same approach Turkey was selected as NATO ally in the illegal invasion of Syria.

The common factor in the strategy is Islamic nations were chosen in the western mission against another Muslim or Arab country to foment sectarianism conforming to imperialist polarization concept.

Turkey Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Foreign Minister Ahmet Davoutoglu spearheaded anti-Syria campaign on Israel, United States and EU behalf to the extreme in opening the borders to western sponsored terrorists by arming and training them to commit atrocities against innocent Syrian population.

Turkey ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) led by Prime Minister Erdogan and Foreign Minister Davoutoglu appeasement of western powers exceeded in every respect rejecting Turkish public dissent on intrusion in Syria.

Turkish opposition Republican People’s Party joined the nation in condemning the incumbent comprehensive assistance to terror networks that contributed to more than 80,000 in death toll and at least 1.5 million refugees fleeing Syria and millions displaced in the country.

The western and gulf regimes reckless policy towards Syrian people with Turkish leadership relentless pursuits to destroy a sovereign nation across the border carelessly disregarding inevitable ramifications or blowback is beyond reason and comprehension.

Meanwhile, the desperate aggressors seeking desperate means have experimented many tactics ranging from WMD, illegal air strikes, bombings, massacres and unspeakable crimes against Syrian citizens, national defense personnel, government officials and the entire nation.

Additionally the United States and EU stranglehold on suffering Syrian children, women and men with severe economic and financial sanctions denying them medicines and essential items constitutes the worst crimes against humanity.

The terror sponsors never wasted any time in exacerbating Syrian plight with widespread violence.

Western installation of Patriot missiles near Syrian border with foreign troops in Turkey under the pretext of system monitoring and maintenance is deceptive and the deployment enabled easy entry into Turkey without having to wage war.

Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan and Foreign Minister Davoutoglu extraordinary courtesy and subservience to hegemony made foreign militarization possible.

The western presence in Turkey is comparable to Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria and Mali experience with violence instigating local or exported terror groups to cause destruction.

Turkey was hit with two car bomb explosions in southern town of Reyhanli that killed 50 residents and another 46 reportedly died in Hatay province on May 11, 2013 with several wounded as always expected in violent incidents.

Again AKP leaderships collusion with western powers spreading terrorism to destabilize neighboring states Iraq and Syria is a major distraction neglecting national governance and sadly ordinary citizens are paying the price for their government folly and betrayal.

Western interference in Turkey is not limited to using the nation against Syria.

Turkey is also earmarked for Takfiri or Wahhabi/Salafist radicalization via Muslim Brotherhood strongly liaised with Saudi regime prevalent in Egypt right now.

The fact that AKP is maneuverable to western ploy in their multidimensional sabotage of Middle East for imperialist goals and Israel’s aspirations is attention worthy.

Iraq having been ruined along with Libya and Syria by the west is also in hegemony focus for fragmentation.

The Republican members in United States congress reminisce their counterpart democrat Senator Joe Biden (the current VP) recommendation to split Iraq into Shia, Sunni and Kurdistan for western control and management.

Accordingly, Kurdistan workers party (PKK) having been marginalized with no political representation or economic and social equality sought autonomy as most often is the case in every part of the world where certain demography and indigenous groups are secluded from mainstream while benefitting from their input to economic growth are invariably treated as a liability.

PKK long battle with Turkish authority resulting in massive bloodshed of 65,000 lives and the founder Abdullah Ocalan imprisoned in an island off Turkey was offered a solution evidently a crisis for Iraq as intended by the west.

In the western engineered plan, PKK supporters and Kurds are being relocated from Turkey to the autonomous region yet part of central Iraq – Kurdistan set up for hegemony depletion of oil reserves in the territory and nothing to do with liberation of persecuted Kurds under western ally Iraq former President Saddam Hussein or Turkey.

Much to Iraq’s legitimate protest on the western authorized Kurdish exodus from Turkey to northeastern Iraq i.e. Kurdistan, the untoward consequences in this respect is apparently not the masterminds concern.

PKK struggle began in Turkey and accordingly should be resolved in that domain rather than transferring the problem over to adjacent Iraq already bogged down with western, Israel and Saudi orchestrated mayhem in that country.

Juxtaposed the immigration debate in the United States is prolonged with no agreement on legitimizing undocumented workers status not to mention various suggestions stretching individual imagination to curb the influx of Mexican citizens characterized as illegal entities dominate congressional discussion discounting the fundamentals such as United States Fast and Furious program promoting arms flurry across the border to drug cartels responsible for transmigration to the source.

The western political perspectives on foreign issues are paradoxical to the stance on almost similar disputes in the domestic front with the ulterior motive being favorable outcome to the west.

Turkey is at the crossroads with an immediate requirement to save the nation from further subjugation and undermining of national sovereignty by western forces asserting authority along NATO alliance.

Turkey withdrawal from NATO is the preliminary step towards freedom.

Turkish electorate across the spectrum together with political opposition demand for AKP to step down from power is valid in light of Prime Minister Erdogan and Foreign Minister Davoutoglu erroneous decisions and deliberate actions against fellow citizens in Syria and Iraq.

Notwithstanding AKP leaderships gross negligence in sheltering dangerous terror networks for personal ambitions evidently energized organizations within society to harm nationals on Turkish soil.

AKP colossal failure to defend national honor and integrity on Flotilla debacle to contemporary Syrian intervention justify citizens protest seeking Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Foreign Minister Ahmet Davoutoglu as well as administration resignation from power.

Turkish people determination to rescue their beloved country from foreign usurpation has to begin with ending their government synonymous indulgence in Syria and Iraq or anywhere in the region.

Turkey is a vibrant young nation with patriots opposed to their government systemic abuse of power and disdain for constitution.

National call for AKP removal is critical to oust foreign insurgence in Turkey setting future precedence on treasonous act surrendering nation against republic will.

Turkish citizens and political power also bear responsibility towards Kurdish compatriots and other ethnic minority or natives in recognition of their equal rights eliminating prejudice to exemplify social progress.

Amicable settlement with PKK and release of their leader Abdullah Ocalan having served sentence for a considerable time in the politically driven conviction would emancipate all paving way for peaceful co-existence.

Finally, heartfelt condolences to victims families affected in latest terrorism in Rehyanli town and Hatay province with prayers for the departed souls to rest in peace and speedy recovery of the wounded in the senseless violence.

Wishing Anatolia, the Republic of Turkey a new beginning with true independence, peace and prosperity in abundance.

Peace to Turkey!

Peace to all

Thank you.

Pakistan – Violence and Terrorism Sponsored To Destabilize Nation For Subjugation

May 19, 2013

By Padmini Arhant

Pakistan is not spared from violence with incessant bombings and explosions having become the routine since United States invasion of Afghanistan in 2001.

Pakistan then regarded an ally in the fictitious war on terror for more than a decade and ongoing has transformed the state into terror haven.

The relentless drone strikes in north western territory Waziristan and areas adjoining Afghanistan border are declared playground in the remotely operated drone attacks by United States escalating UAV killings in the past four years despite mounting civilian casualties comprising mostly children and women.

Ignoring the fact on reckless drone war providing terror networks opportunity for new recruits, the continued drone operation leads to western collaboration with terror groups in perpetuating terrorism alongside proliferating arms supply costing innocent lives nationwide.

Throughout general election campaign the spate of terror assaults in Pakistan paralleled Iraq – the country experiencing horrific violence that peaked during provincial election prompting six out of eighteen provinces to postpone the event.

The unacceptable and senseless act clarifies the motives behind heinous crimes to disrupt democratic process in these nations creating indefinite unrest.

Unfortunately, anti-democracy forces aim for civilian deaths causing fear among the electorate to advance their destabilization agenda.

Pakistan like Iraq is confronted with Unites States, Britain, Israel and Saudi fomented sectarianism and internal terror elements sheltered by various collusions within operating against national interest.

The latest bombing near the mosque on Friday May 17, 2013 resulting in at least thirteen victims and several injured following Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) announcement to form coalition and a day latter the assassination of PTI co-founder and Senior Vice President Zahra Shahid Hussain in Karachi is reprehensible considering the masterminds disregard for life.

PTI Chairman Imran Khan reportedly attributed the assassination to Karachi based Muttahida Quami Movement (MQM) claiming that the self-exiled MQM leader Altaf Hussain who is also a British citizen publicly threatened PTI members subsequent to vote fraud allegations against MQM party.

Any political party or candidacy rise to power and prominence through unscrupulous means especially violence and terrorist activity endanger citizens safety in false representation as political leader to serve the people of the nation they intend to harm for self-promotion.

Such political faction or entity egregious conduct compromises national sovereignty and security.

Those responsible for the crimes against PTI leader Zahra Shahid Hussain and the loss of lives in the earlier target near the mosque deserve to be brought to justice in fairness to the slain victims unjustly denied the freedom to life.

Interestingly, nefarious groups along with former and present dictatorships apparently find Britain’s political helm to be friendly host and often reflected in their choice of destination viz. London in the self-imposed exile evading litany of charges against them.

Foreign powers complicity in the politically motivated criminal incidents contributes to the real identity and characteristics of the authority not to mention the involvement seriously jeopardizing national integrity and credibility.

Sincere condolences offered to bereaved families affected in the irrational terror.

May God grant strength to the survivors in enduring the tragic situation and bless the departed souls to rest in peace.

Peace to Pakistan!

Peace to all!

Thank you.

Lebanon – Cabinet Formation and Consensus on Electoral Law

May 19, 2013

By Padmini Arhant

Lebanon is currently confronted with two major challenges and they are cabinet formation and decision on new electoral law.

Lebanon under Prime Minister-Designate Tammam Salam is engaged in cabinet structure prohibiting selected ministers from contesting in the forthcoming Parliamentary election in adherence to national constitution.

The Premier-Designate proposal to set up National Unity Government might emanate from efforts to appease the centrist faction proclaimed as The Progressive Socialist Party maintaining close ties with Saudi Arabia government and the U.S. backed March 14th Bloc Future Movement headed by former Prime Minister Saad Hariri in the three way distribution of eight posts each shared among the two foreign backed political parties and the national March 8th block holding majority.

Understandably, the March 8th Bloc with higher representation in Parliament as the leading power per electoral choice is not pleased with the caretaker leadership preparation characterized as de facto group rather than acknowledgment of actual composition leading to fair compliance.

Lebanon Prime Minister-Designate Tammam Salam intentions on equal cabinet allocations could very well be regarded as an attempt to alleviate tensions in the political circle.

However, the issue is larger than mere configuration considering Lebanon experience with foreign intervention especially the two parties i.e. centrists and March 14th Bloc liaisons with Saudi Arabia and United States respectively may not necessarily serve national interest.

United States and Saudi Arabia indulgence not only in the Middle East but also in most parts of the world is to derail democracy or democratic prospects and cause sectarianism within society prominently in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq, Bahrain, Egypt, Yemen and Tunisia to name a few among many others across the globe.

Not to mention United States led western powers and Saudi Arabia teamed up with Qatar, Turkey, Jordan and UAE in the Middle East primarily responsible for Syrian conflict with spill over in Lebanon.

U.S. and Saudi meddling creating political crisis is well established and more relevant to Lebanon including the present situation.

Saudi regime opposed to democracy anywhere is to defend dynasty rule in Saudi Arabia and other gulf states while remaining subservient to western hegemony viz. United Sates, Israel, Britain, France and Germany by exchanging petro dollars for arms used against peaceful protesters subjecting them to torture, renditions and killings with western powers justifying their arms sales to repressive governments for Israel’s protection even though reality confirms belligerence.

United States and Britain in cohort with EU anti-democratic missions not barring assassinations is to expand imperialism far and wide.

Lebanon precautionary measures in the face of illegal invasion of Syria is extremely important rejecting influences from United States, Saudi Arabia and the likes on Israel’s behalf preventing history repeating itself given the prolonged civil war in recent memory and persistent Israeli aggression through reconnaissance undermining Lebanon sovereignty.

Lebanon’s neutral position on Syria is prudent and simultaneously eliminating militant activities and weapons smuggling across the border especially in areas like Tripoli, Akkar, Ersal and Wadi Khaled would ease the burden on Lebanon in containing Syrian refugee influx into the country.

Lebanese government and national defense force combined efforts in dealing with terror manifestations along Syrian border is critical for domestic security.

Notwithstanding humanitarian as well as economic problems directly affecting Lebanon due to these loopholes facilitating violence in the neighboring state Syria forcing residents to flee their homeland.

Tightening border patrol with deployment in territories vulnerable to terrorist access is essential to remove terror.

Premier- Designate Tammam Salam adopting strategy in accordance with electoral mandate represented in Parliament would be a viable option.

Whoever has fair share of votes elected to power to form government.

In this instance, the March 8th Bloc or Loyalty to Resistance Bloc concerns are legitimate and moving ahead with cabinet reflecting Parliamentary composition for each political party would be a logical approach conforming to democratic standard.

The question of unilateral rule would not apply upon meeting the constitutional and Parliamentary requirements with political parties gaining power sometimes as absolute majority or by coalition as long as republic will is honored to govern the state.

Lebanon’s caretaker leadership commitment to Lebanese electorate would guarantee political stability instead of adjustments to accommodate foreign backed members that compromise citizens rights to self-determination.

Premier-designate Tammam Salam factual consideration correlating with Parliamentary proportion when finalizing cabinet portfolio is the pragmatic solution to the otherwise unnecessary political stalemate.

On the electoral law – the contentions are choosing between Orthodox gathering proposal favoring winner-takes-all system and proportional representation system which is the existing law introduced in 1960.

Lebanon Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri suggestion on Hybrid vote law allowing 64 Muslim and Christian MPs elected under orthodox system while the other 64 Muslim and Christian MPs to be elected on proportional representation system is peace-making formula unfortunately not suitable in practicality.

Universal method for local and national election is always better to minimize confusion among voters in the country. Besides uniformity is also cost effective.

Winner-takes-all-system often produces great deal of disappointment for losing candidacy supporters and as a result nation remains polarized on legislation.

Whereas proportional representation system provides opportunity to cast ballots on specific to general voter aspiration.

Another added value in this context is representation made possible across the spectrum almost in entirety leaving none behind qualifying as functional democracy unlike winner-takes-all-system uncertainty to encompass diverse perspectives of population.

Effectively proportional representation involves majority rule i.e. popular preference concurrently enabling minority engagement in legislative process as expected in republic governed democracy.

Lebanon could no longer afford to waste time with political disagreements stalling economic progress.

Israeli encroachment is a serious violation and deserves proper surveillance and deterrence mechanism in place.

Political vacuum is an invitation for infiltration jeopardizing independent status.

Lebanon political leaderships together with members in Parliament and caretaker governance efficient performance demonstrating mutual cooperation for national goals prioritizing security and economic growth is imperative in the interim and long term.

Peace in Syria would ensure stability in Lebanon and across Middle East.

Hence Lebanon utilizing maximum potential blocking terrorism within and around national boundary is a permanent task unyielding to any distraction.

Wishing success to citizens in Lebanon and leaderships in the caretaker government Prime Minister-Designate Tammam Salam and political parties for amicable resolution on impending national affairs.

Peace to Lebanon!

Peace to all!

Thank you.

Syria – Western Sponsored Violence Delineates Sponsors From Civilized Society

May 17, 2013

By Padmini Arhant

United States authorized Israeli airstrikes in January and May 2013 targeting Jamraya Scientific Research Center near Damascus resulting in civilian casualties and carnage were ignored by United Nations that otherwise is swift in imposing sanctions and isolation of nations regarded western adversaries upon being accused of any such involvement.

Reiterating the fact on UN disregard and bias concerning US, Israel, Britain, France and allies flagrant violations of international law, foreign nations sovereignty and human rights foment atrocities including cannibalism in Syria.

Notwithstanding the rise of US and Israeli belligerence through illegal air strikes as their prerogative along with Britain and France blocking UN action to list al-Nusra Front as terrorist organization despite own admission to this effect evidenced in U.S. State department classification – attributed to UN and international community tolerance to violence and injustice.

Further, the western sponsorship of terrorism against Syria on UN and rest of the world watch tantamount to complicity in war crimes against humanity.

The recent revelation on United States and coalition of the willing recruited terrorists dehumanized conduct confirms predator instincts demonstrated in action delineating western powers and gulf allies from civilized society.

Recalling former President George W. Bush rhetoric quoting – ‘If you are not with us then you are with the terrorists‘ ironically exemplified by the incumbent administration.

With curtains lifted and characters identified there are no more speculations on the fictitious war on terror evolved into terrorizing force proudly leading the onslaught showing no remorse for innocent deaths and turmoil in Syria.

The predecessors Bush-Cheney war mongering legacy continues and vigorously carried out by President Barack Obama with changes in modus operandi.

Earlier on the previous administration pursued targets using lies, deception and false flag operation 9/11 for foreign invasion and occupation with troops deployment.

Although false flag events exponentially risen in the current strategy, the difference lies in bypassing political rigmarole of congressional approval and most importantly public dissent on illegal wars with authorization of drone strikes in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Yemen and Somalia…not to mention terrorist recruitment on foreign soil as witnessed in Libya and now Syria.

However, Washington’s terror policy having reached a crescendo backfired at them in accordance with the adage – “What goes around comes around.”

The ramification was felt in the yet to be resolved mystery on the sexual assault and assassination of US ambassador Christopher Stevens and three or four embassy staff in eastern city Benghazi, Libya.

Whenever national authority transforms into authoritarianism in the absence of accountability committing crimes with impunity as executive privilege, national sovereignty and security is compromised leaving vulnerable citizens in the domestic and international domain at the mercy of state terror.

Hence, US led western and gulf alliance terrorism in Syria wasting respective taxpayer funds in several million dollars on terror networks with comprehensive aid in the form of lethal and logistic support clarifies the leaderships anti-republic stance considering a staggering number of citizens in United States, Britain and France pushed below poverty line and forced to become dependents on charity alongside severe austerity on the remaining people nationwide.

Simultaneously United States signaled Israeli airstrikes aren’t cheap either with exorbitant economic costs involved in using bombers and deadly missiles at Syrian victims expense in human toll while American children as well as families plight exacerbated in gross neglect of economy to feed ravenous war machinery.

American citizens and global rejection of western and regional intervention in Syria is slighted perpetuating killings at free will due to past and present war crimes not having been brought to justice.

The egregious decisions conscientiously arrived at United States, Israel, Britain, France and Germany behest implemented through Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, UAE and Jordan to inflict suffering on Syria, Libya, Iraq and Afghanistan ominously leads to self-destructive indulgence directly affecting the operatives and the origin of terror.

Proceeding with more airstrikes against Syria is endangering fragile political career for western and gulf regimes expediting terror epicenter imminent collapse.

Exercising prudence by avoiding counterproductive activities would be wise in averting earth-shattering catastrophe affecting the agents and source.

Wishing citizens and leaderships in Syria resolve in successfully terminating terror from their homeland.

Peace to Syria!

Peace to all!

Thank you.

Malaysia – General Election 2013

May 16, 2013

By Padmini Arhant

Congratulations! To Malaysian electorate, Prime Minister Najib Razak and Barisan Nasional aka The National Front coalition on the major victory in the national election held in May 2013.

Malaysian Premier recognition of the challenges and preparation for national reconciliation process is prudent especially post election generating disenchantment amongst opposition supporters and skepticism on the way forward.

Malaysia being a diverse society adopting inclusive strategy for broad consensus on domestic and foreign issues would ease tensions and promote unity yet maintaining uniqueness in contributions towards economic, social and cultural development.

Political factions gaining traction through polarization often experience setbacks and decline precipitously subsequent to any unrest caused by opportunism serving against national interest.

Malaysia as an ASEAN member share common economic woes along with specific domestic problems and policies directed at growth opportunities across the spectrum would reduce income disparity and improve living standards for the vast majority.

Further investments and program expansion in underdeveloped regions of the country aimed at national outreach transcending demography, ethnicity and other barriers would guarantee returns favorable in all aspects leading to sustainable progress leaving none behind in domestic achievement.

Social equality is possible with fair political representation at the local and national level accompanied by funding to marginalized communities providing housing, education, and health services besides facilitating technology access to build and enhance skills for productivity resulting in self-sufficiency.

The political representatives elected to office fulfilling constitutional oath and campaign promise to voters alongside resolving relevant crises in a timely manner avoiding evasions is the fundamental requirement in a functional democracy.

Accountability and transparency lacking in political system is the reason behind rampant corruption with privileged class abusing power and depriving significant population life with dignity.

Checks and balances are essential to eliminate misuse of authority and economic status with laws applicable to all without exception.

Malaysia is also targeted with foreign intervention and not spared from United States and Saudi regime terror deployment in the country.

The ruling and opposition leaderships together with entire nation bear responsibility in driving external sources sponsored terrorists elements from their soil to avert serious threats to sovereignty and national security.

United States, Saudi regime and allies collaboration witnessed in Syria unleashing terror wherever and whenever possible is to be deterred with strong resistance from national, regional and global representation.

Addressing matter confronting the nation through dialogue and commitment to peaceful negotiations set precedence for the future.

Best Wishes to Malaysian citizens and Prime Minister Najib Razak as well as other leaderships nationwide for long lasting peace and success benefitting all.

Peace to Malaysia!

Peace to all!

Thank you.

Syria – Terror Sponsors Drafted UNGA Resolution Affects UN Eroding Credibility

May 15, 2013

By Padmini Arhant

UNGA resolution on Syrian conflict presented for voting today i.e. May 15, 2013 clarifies UN colossal failure considering the organization’s proclaimed status as an international body to resolve crises confronting humanity.

UN is yet to prove reliability in this regard having missed several opportunities in the past and present to preside over global matter with fairness and objectivity.

As a result of deliberate dysfunctional stature, the organization continues to exacerbate human suffering due to lack of courage and integrity in critical humanitarian affairs.

Perhaps the dissolution of such entity pretending to be world authority but essentially serving the interests of hegemony wreaking havoc on the planet would relieve global victims from excruciating pain and misery inflicted upon them with bias and unscrupulous decision-making process.

UN, UNSC and UNGA controlled and manipulated by those responsible for heinous crimes against humanity could no longer be trusted to deliver effectively on any issues concerning innocent citizens in Syria or worldwide with the organization having become the tool for hegemony systemic abuse of power.

In fact, UN and UNSC erroneous resolutions are responsible for status quo with death and devastation all around endangering lives besides threatening global peace and security.

Hence abandoning the organization that has lost credibility and international purpose is the only viable option allowing alternative credible global consortium emergence committed to peace and harmony in assuming important responsibility in the volatile environment.

Regarding Syrian resolution from terror sponsors viz. Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Turkey at western powers behest apparently aimed at flaming the fire ignited by them in March 2011 with malicious intentions to never extinguish the inferno up until now.

Despite western and gulf states terror recruits callousness demonstrated in primitive and inhumane practices like cannibalism obviously reflecting on the backers,

The obstinacy to perpetuate terrorism and mayhem slighting Syrian casualties and decimation of a sovereign country speaks volume of the so-called leaderships presumptuousness and declining supremacy syndrome.

Furthermore Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Turkey together with Israel, United States, Britain and those favoring resolution do not even qualify to initiate any measures against Syria in light of their trajectory on human rights violations with oppression and persecution classified as tyranny in the domestic and international sphere.

Unless global consensus ending Syrian conflict into third year with 80,000 or more in civilian death toll and nearly two million refugees scattered across borders in Turkey and Jordan again subjected to hostility,

Notwithstanding perpetrators brought to justice for war crimes ranging from WMD to illegal Israeli air strikes and other extreme revelations by the hour – the imminent catastrophe would have international impact sparing none reminiscent of twentieth century.

Not only the current situation in Syria is dangerous for the nation and regional stability but also the reckless and violent pursuits overriding rationality and sensibility would unequivocally pulverize the world.

Averting the disastrous outcome is every inhabitant’s duty and directly related to life existence regardless of location.

World citizens must rise to the occasion and unanimously call for immediate termination of warfare in Syria beginning with embargo on lethal and non-lethal support to terrorists and withdrawal of terror operatives not barring class action lawsuits against overt and covert criminal heads insisting on prolonging invasion of the embattled state.

The planet survival entirely lies with those aspiring peaceful co-existence guided by their intelligence to protect common habitat in grave danger upon collapse of civilization in Syria.

Procrastination on this monumental calamity would lead to an apocalypse affecting all.

Wishing Syria and peace loving volunteers around the world resilience to triumph over hegemony violence and injustice.

Pakistan – National Election and Republic Empowerment

May 15, 2013

By Padmini Arhant

Congratulations! To Pakistan electorate, Prime Minister-elect Nawaz Sharif and Pakistan Muslim League – Nawaz (PML-N) party for recent victory in the democratic election.

Reportedly PML-N secured around 126 out of 270 seats to National Assembly in 60% voter turnout nationally and 100% in some states displaying citizens participation in the electoral process.

Pakistan deprived of democratic governance since birth due to military coup and direct foreign intervention from United States and Saudi Arabia crossed the hurdle when previous administration under Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) was the first to complete full term leading to fresh elections over the weekend.

Prime Minister-elect Nawaz Sharif having served in that position twice earlier although briefly with military disrupting official period has experienced problems related to governance.

Pakistan is confronted with numerous challenges and primary one being violence among other issues such as corruption, inflation, foreign intrusion fomenting sectarianism and sedition alongside border disputes with neighbors currently Afghanistan that needs to be addressed effectively to steer the nation away from continuous chaos and unrest.

People in Pakistan have expressed strong desire for democratic function through mandate and deserve efficient government transcending typical political culture of graft, nepotism and marginalization of rest of the nation preceded by nationwide security as top priority.

Pakistan government focus on maintaining law and order containing incessant bombings, explosions and militant activities in the heart of the nation that has left cities, towns and villages gripped with terror is key to political stability.

Notwithstanding drone strikes and foreign occupation in the form of CIA paramilitary infiltration, private contractors, consulate espionage services and Saudi regime aided radicalism that generated Pakistan Taliban along with Pakistan intelligence ISI and some military personnel sheltering networks operating against national interest arguably demand stringent domestic and foreign policy to protect innocent lives and sovereignty.

In the economic front, the vast majority living in abject poverty has long been neglected with preoccupation on cross border tensions with India, Iran and lately Afghanistan.

Pakistan as well as neighbors resolving these issues amicably through diplomacy would allow them to expend time and resources in improving economic and social conditions for their respective population invariably sharing common plight ranging from lack of clean water supply, electricity to health and education facilities hindering normal existence.

Additionally rural and urban unhealthy environment attributed to industrial pollution and contamination impact entire society.

Pakistan declining deceptive neoliberal economic concept responsible for income disparity, exploitation and national treasury depletion via tax evasions is important to emerge from burgeoning financial crises and overall development deficiency.

Instead adopting growth oriented economic models creating job opportunities not only in specific industry but also across different sectors especially targeting human potential abandoned in search for prominent skills would produce desirable results provided they are reinvested in further advancement of local production and expansion.

Implementing such strategy would optimize progress unlike neoliberal profit transfer trend contracting host nation revenue besides stifling local competition partly contributing to rising inflation.

Strengthening bilateral and multilateral trade ties with moderate approach on controversial matter demonstrating mutual respect and cooperation would be beneficial to all.

Economic and monetary aid received without compromising national assets, human capital and above all independence is critical in the increasingly volatile climate with predator instincts aimed at subjugation of nations for geopolitical dominance.

Accordingly rationality and pragmatism guided prudent choices with departure from relations ascribed to failed state classification in Pakistan’s case would be positive in moving forward as a self-sufficient and reliable economic partner within and outside region.

Pakistan riding on rough seas evidently capable of surviving tidal waves despite threats to democracy throughout political history.

National unity committed to pervasive prospects leaving none behind would promote necessary economic freedom and social equality.

Republic empowerment through education and accessibility to technology for proper awareness on events affecting survival is imperative to deter internal and external anti-democracy forces actively engaged in sabotage of Pakistan sovereignty.

Pakistan represented by educated younger generation could be instrumental in leading the nation towards multidimensional achievements while retaining cherished cultural values and heritage in delineation from fundamentalism misusing religion to impose ideology.

On that optimistic note,

Wishing citizens in Pakistan and newly elected leadership Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif as well as representatives of national institutions long lasting peace and success in all endeavors for collective prosperity.

Peace to Pakistan!

Peace to all!

Thank you.

Syria – Honoring Sovereignty and Self-Determination Rights is the Roadmap to Peace

May 14, 2013

By Padmini Arhant

United States and United Kingdom leaderships repeat recognition of political solution to their manufactured crisis in Syria is welcome and agreement to this effect is already in place in Geneva accord reached in June 2012.

Britain Prime Minister David Cameron and U.S. President Barack Obama concerns for Syrian bloodshed on international watch and urgency to end the conflict are noteworthy.

However, had this realization occurred in March 2011 at the crises onset and both leaderships refrained from sponsoring terror networks – al-Qaeda and al-Nusra Front deployment until today that includes funding, arming and providing military training then perhaps nearly 80,000 innocent lives could have been saved and prevented two million refugees from fleeing across Syrian border.

Israel, United States, Britain, Turkey, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Jordan and others involvement in Syria ranging from terror recruitment with chemical weapons, bombings, and air strikes to unspeakable crimes against Syrian population relevantly shifts the burden on their citizens to decide on respective leaderships legitimacy to continue in office.

Western nations flagrant violations of international and humanitarian law in Syria and in Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia and Mali to name a few clearly indicative of the fact that political system in the west is anything but democratic.

Hence, western suggestion on Syrian President Bashar al-Assad removal from power evidently classifies them as anti-republic force pledged allegiance to hegemony for self-interest.

In the modern era, imposing medieval feudalism for vassal statehood not to mention abhorrent means adopted in this regard with western and coalition recruited terrorists resorting to cannibalism is the final straw on greed motivated violence erasing any progress made by western civilization thus far.

The western powers demand on Syria calling for popular leadership President Bashar al-Assad to step down to create another Libya and earlier Iraq is a presumptuous supremacy complex that shall not be entertained at twenty two million Syrian citizens expense.

United States, Israel, Britain, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Jordan have serious problems in their domain with declining economy and eroding social standards in the absence of effective governance due to heads of state misplaced priority and that being obsession to destabilize independent nation Syria and eventually the region.

International peace conference in Geneva should appropriately focus on acknowledgment of Syrian sovereignty and nationals rights to self-determination barring any intervention to further sabotage lives and livelihoods in the Arab country.

Contrarily, western nations beginning with United States, Britain and Israel among others require freedom movement to liberate society from Zionist control and subjugation depleting national treasury for extravagant illusive pursuits discounting the fact on their limited and fickle existence on earth.

Likewise, their partners in the Middle East viz. Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, Jordan, Turkey, UAE, Kuwait, Oman, Yemen and Egypt…violent crackdown on peaceful protesters seeking abolition of monarchy and ending subservience to western hegemony deserves international support denouncing dictatorships and western arms delivery to prolong oppression.

In conclusion, republic empowerment assuming direct authority with checks and balances for accountability on systemic abuse of power in United States, Israel, Britain and other western governance disguised as democracy when essentially serving plutocracy is paramount to reverse national and global status quo.

Syria was invaded with unscrupulous and unjust practices alongside continuous attempts denying Syrian leadership and citizens inalienable right to defend territorial integrity.

The global consensus in terminating foreign intrusion specifically aimed at fragmentation of Syria besides bringing western powers and alliance to justice for use of WMD and illegal air strikes is the immediate requirement for world peace and security.

Wishing Syrian leaderships President Bashar al-Assad and others in the government, National Defense force and most importantly people across the spectrum – success in all endeavors now and in the future.

Peace to Syria!

Peace to all!

Thank you.
