Egypt – Presidential Election Amid Supreme Court Parliament Dissolution

June 16, 2012

By Padmini Arhant

Egypt votes in Presidential election amid chaos and confusion from Supreme Court decision to dissolve Parliament and legislative assembly annulment.

Presidential candidates representing Mubarak regime supported by Military power and,

Muslim Brotherhood – a non-participant in Egypt revolution that ousted former dictatorship President Hosni Mubarak from office are the only two options for the oppressed Egyptian population forced to settle on undesirable outcome.

Supreme Council on Armed Forces (SCAF) in control of executive power receiving U.S. aid $1.3 billion never missed an opportunity to exercise military might and excess force against unarmed civilians reminiscent of Mubarak rule until now.

Foreign intervention specifically United Sates military and State Department instructions to SCAF Generals summoned to Washington D.C. during and after revolution confirms the real authority behind military autocracy.

The western ideology premised on authoritarianism through proxy governance in order to contain alleged fundamentalism to protect their ally in the region has effectively fomented anti-western sentiments producing precisely the result claimed acrimonious to the west.

Western powers anti-democratic policy ironically under the guise of spreading democracy predominantly responsible for humanity plight world over and more so in the Middle East.

Post revolution in Egypt with no fundamental change contrarily held citizens’ rally reprehensible considering strong western ally Mubarak elimination from office.

Arming the military in Egypt alongside conducting electoral polls in the height of SCAF crackdown revealed deterrence on real democracy depriving pluralist system emergence.

Notwithstanding demonstrations galvanized against puppet representatives of foreign power.

Besides SCAF facilitated Islamist groups’ victory in Parliamentary elections to undermine mainstream democratic goals and Supreme Court latest position favoring Mubarak administration ex-Prime Minister Ahmed Shafiq candidacy in the Presidential race in the absence of Parliament and constitution exacerbates the crises.

Western concerns regarding militancy and anti-Semitism in Egypt or anywhere in Middle East primarily attributed to their role in denying Arab population right to self-determination such as opposition to Palestinian statehood and concerted action in destabilization of nations with military operation contributing to perpetual violence, death and destruction.

Otherwise, the western policy and architects behind political and economic mayhem triggering ethnic and sectarian conflicts in Middle East are essentially accountable for ramifications viewed hostile by them.

Egyptian society is faced with a dilemma of resigning to Mubarak style hard line political situation or accepting Islamists law upon assuming office provided the latter prevails in reversing the extraordinary Supreme Court stance apparently motivated by sources determined to prolong western guided military dominance.

Neither is viable and evidently rejected by the vast majority arguably fearing the status quo reverting to return of Mubarak era.

The alternative allowing Islamists to establish Sharia law per the political trend or prohibiting social justice to women and other minority segments in the country are legitimate grievances shared amongst victims in the clashes between Coptic Christians and Muslims although the military backing Mubarak cabinet member Ahmed Shafiq believed to have sponsored attacks since appointment by hegemony.

Egypt duress could be addressed with people demand for military compliance to relinquish power and exit from political domain not barring United States influence withdrawal.

Secular movement from the revolution period forging alliance with progressive political party having been suppressed thus far could be a formidable challenge to either political factions viz. SCAF and Islamists in disapproval of the current political development.

Egypt revolution displayed tremendous courage and succeeded in the dismissal of Mubarak government and similarly exhibited resilience against martial law.

The electorate in Egypt is not obligatory to surrender to the will of political dictum threatening individual rights and normal existence.

The solidarity pledged to peaceful and non-violent resistance could once again remove impediments on the path to democracy granting political freedom, economic progress and social equality across the spectrum.

Regardless of the electoral mandate given the extraneous conditions under which the Parliamentary and Presidential elections were held,

The people from all walks of life affected by the unpopular political choices could rise against military establishment and opportunists exploiting vulnerability within diverse demography.

Egypt political struggle would end with the election of leadership free from foreign intrusion and/or radicalization proved detrimental to public and national interest.

People spirit could reclaim sovereignty and much anticipated political independence.

The victory is imminent with consolidated and unified engagement in the common cause.

Good Luck and Best Wishes! To people in Egypt in reaching the milestone for inclusive republic rule.

Peace to all!

Thank you.

Syria – Ending violence and Foreign Invasion

June 11, 2012

By Padmini Arhant

Syrian situation deteriorating with escalating violence statewide and routine massacres targeting innocent lives in the villages and towns exacerbating crisis in the beleaguered nation.

Those responsible for arming the rebels rally in favor of military intervention – an illusion to accomplish the ill-fated goal.

The ceasefire never acknowledged by them with western powers sponsored Free Syrian Army, Turkey based Syrian National Council, London headquartered Syrian Observatory groups having infiltrated the society engage the national armed forces in continuous combat to advance regime change agenda.

The bloodshed cannot be contained unless and until all sides refrain from violent confrontation.

All nations are obligatory to protect citizens and public as well as private property from foreign agents constant shelling and indiscriminate shooting witnessed in Syria right now.

Syrian government response to militia attacks claimed in justification of national defense.

The criticism on Syrian position is political since western powers often use similar reason to wage wars against sovereign nations with hypothetical and/or manufactured threats to promote pre-meditated military invasions like in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and lately Syria.

The intentions are clear to lead Syria into full-scale civil war and destabilize the country for strategic advantage.

Such motives having come into fruition in the past and recently in Libya, the nations advocating military action are primary contributors to casualties throughout Syria.

Furthermore, Free Syrian Army and other armed mercenaries refusal to abide by the UN mandate confirms benefactor nations’ determination to overthrow current government utilizing any means in order to prevail in the overambitious fantasy doomed to be a failure.

Funding and weapons shipment including exporting fighters to Syria with most of them lured from impoverished parts of the world must end for intrusions of this kind are in direct violation of international law.

Life has lost meaning and value in the rage to succeed in the mission defiance of logic and rationale.

The proposal from Russia as UNSC member calling for international conference inviting nations like Iran to represent inclusiveness against conventional practice is a viable course in resolving the conflict.

Meanwhile, it is absolutely incumbent upon all parties to disarm and disavow any harm to civilians or security personnel risking their lives to safeguard public and territorial interest.

Slighting ceasefire would be unnecessary quest for disaster to befall on the players behind the horrendous crime against humanity.

The diplomatic and peaceful request to stop fueling the turmoil has been deliberately ignored by perpetrators expediting dire consequences already in progress through various ominous events depicting inevitable termination.

Syrian government proactive measures providing safety and humanitarian relief to all citizens would alleviate suffering besides eliminating belligerence with arms seizure and expulsion of foreign invaders in any capacity to restore calm and stability.

Local elements upon being identified with proper verification detained in humane conditions for investigation to ascertain source could delineate domestic operatives from overseas directive.

Syrian authority are also urged to exercise restraint when dealing with unarmed captives regardless of nationality in adherence to international rules that could also result in cooperation from hired resistance.

United front in Syria would be a formidable challenge despite foreign powers decision in the appointment of Kurdish leader Abdelbasset Sida to head controversial and questionable Syrian National Council from Turkey not to mention the credibility factor considering Kurdish plight in Turkey.

The powers preoccupied in derailing peace plan and democratic prospects under the guise of saviors also authorizing massive killings and brutality against all Syrians irrespective of sect and ethnicity per independent reports on the ground.

They have essentially declared war against Syria in all fronts and unequivocal Syrian denunciation on foreign hegemony terror deployment would deter expansion and save lives in the process.

Global community condemnation alone would not suffice in this respect.

The citizens across the world could come together in solidarity and non-violently disapprove their respective nation’s participation or the lack thereof in concluding Syrian upheaval.

Perhaps, the UN General Assembly could implement resolution against instigating nations posing impediments in peace envoy Kofi Annan ceasefire recommendation.

Nonetheless, Syrian people must come forward and decline foreign powers influence evidently yielding death and destruction.

Wishing people in Syria long anticipated peace and amicable dispute settlement between political leaderships and electorate across the spectrum.

Peace to all!

Thank you.

Libya – NATO War Crimes and Political Turmoil

June 10, 2012

By Padmini Arhant

Arab Spring originated in Tunisia and inspired Egypt to rise against tyranny i.e. decades of oppression and persecution by dictatorial governments regarded strong western partners for strategic reasons in the region.

Initially Arab Spring were peaceful and non-violent until state crackdown using excess force occurred and the situation then onwards escalated from bad to worse in these two nations and,

In Egypt the uprising protracted until today against United States supported military power SCAF (Supreme Council for Armed Forces) with generous military aid worth $1.3 billion funded by American taxpayers while being forced to accept austerity amid economic recession.

When Arab Spring spread to Libya, the resistance again was calm and pledged to non-violence in the preliminary phase.

The western hired mercenaries and militias hijacked the uprising with western mainstream media assistance in their fraudulent claim that Libyan government organized air raids and relentless shelling in Benghazi and across the state.

The coordination amongst western communication media, military and political leaderships subverting truth to gain support for the pre-planned NATO intervention under humanitarian pretext caused many casualties and infrastructure demolition despite NATO assertion that attacks were targeted and precise rejecting ground reality.

Nevertheless, none held accountable and no investigation conducted on NATO war crimes in Libya with UNSC focused on yet another western mission replicating Libyan catastrophe in Syria premised on regime change for political destabilization enabling further advantage to prolong regional warfare.

As a result, Libya is in mayhem with lawlessness having become law of the nation run by NATO appointed government involved in human rights violation according to independent investigative journalists on post NATO operation assessment in Libya.

Ironically the predecessor was accused of similar atrocity leading to the assassination in public square – an undemocratic precedence in the so-called democratization pursuit.

Libyan leadership under Colonel Gaddafi folly trusting and heeding western power advice led to the violent end.

The incumbent National Transition Council in Libya apparently comprising U.S. State department selected individuals with western ties treading in the direction of chaos,

Notwithstanding armed militias on one side and fragmented tribal groups pledged allegiance to the former regime at the other end is a perfect scenario to declare the state beyond governance creating opportunity for foreign power to rein control over national oil reserves and even more lucrative source – water in the Arabian desert.

Hence Libyan revolutionists engaged in non-violence seeking political rights at the beginning prior to western intrusion must come forward and regain control from NATO and United States authorized council obviously not serving in national or public interest.

There is no functioning government to monitor deteriorating situation and instead the authority exacerbating crises with worst humanitarian crimes against previous government loyalists as well as those not in agreement with the status quo.

Libyan cities disarmament is absolutely vital to maintain law and order along with terror networks deterrence trained to continue upheaval in Libya expanding insurgency into Syria.

The citizens in Libya coming together in solidarity setting their various differences aside and consolidating efforts to form a government representing them regardless of identity and ideology important to regain sovereignty and political stability.

The youth participation in political system having shed blood in the earlier demonstration would facilitate meaningful democracy preparing the nation for constitutional reform, elections and Parliament without any foreign power influence evidently disastrous for the country.

Libyan citizens are urged not to accept violence as the way of life and renounce militancy against own population and neighboring state like Syria.

The rebels are pawns used by those capitalizing on the political unrest and puppet leaderships usually abandoned leaving them to meet their fate as witnessed in Egypt with ex-President Hosni Mubarak and many so-called close allies in the past and present.

The trend is a reminder to governments and leaderships surrendering national sovereignty to foreign regency against public will.

Not to mention the reflection on the heads of state lack of integrity and credibility to remain in power.

Libya could no longer perpetuate internal disturbance that has already produced loss of innocent lives with real beneficiaries being the weapon industry and organization such as NATO with highly questionable and objectionable motive.

Upon evaluating NATO trajectory thus far with drones over Afghanistan, Pakistan and indiscriminate bombings in Libya with no remorse or recognition of any wrongdoings,

It would be fair to call for NATO dismantling and termination to protect life and environment.

Unfortunately, the western powers through NATO following United States pose major threat to humanity due to massive blood in their hands and unnecessary interference to derail democratic process and/or governments across the world.

Therefore, it is obligatory on the citizens in the United States and NATO countries to end the systemic abuse of power demonstrated in the current events world wide – the Middle East and Islamic nations in particular.

Libyan freedom struggle would be over only after the establishment of people choice government unlike the contemporary setting maneuvered by hegemony from overseas base.

People in Libya assuming responsibility as patriotic duty in shaping their country’s future prohibiting detrimental instigation from abroad would determine their destiny.

Wishing eternal peace, political and economic progress to republic of Libya.

Peace to all!

Thank you.

Syria – Armed Rebels and Foreign Intervention Sabotage Ceasefire

June 4, 2012

By Padmini Arhant

The recent massacre in Houla near Homs, Syria escalated violence disrupting fragile ceasefire threatened since implementation.

While investigation conducted on the killings, the horrendous crime against innocent lives reminiscent of medieval practice.

The atrocity appears to have been carried out in close proximity using weapons other than firearms on the victims that demands proper scrutiny prior to arriving at biased conclusion.

As such the uprising has evolved into clash between foreign powers and the State with former determined to achieve instability depriving Syrian population their basic right to resolve political issues and express consent or dissent through ballots rather than the barrel of the gun facilitated by foreign sources to derail the peace plan.

The ratcheted rhetoric to enable UNSC usual measures – economic sanctions and/or military intervention reserved ahead of manufactured crises is provocative and counterproductive.

Instead the immediate remedy to the burgeoning problem is to hold the powers accountable for funding and arming militias and mercenaries attributed to brutalities in the Machiavellian goal.

Considering spill over on the adjacent border Lebanon again instigated by the same elements responsible for sectarian violence throughout Middle East,

The UN credibility is dependent upon condemnation of influential forces promoting death and destruction in Syria.

Further recommendation to disarm and deport the so-called rebels – the proxy troops on ground fighting the war against the government for power removal would confirm fairness and reliability.

With respect to the state response – Once the rebels identified as foreign entities,

Weapon confiscation alongside strengthening border security control including the ports for arms and ammunition seizure arriving into Syria would be the preliminary step followed by ousting those causing mayhem on the streets when their origin proved anything other than Syrian nationality could clarify real perpetrators behind latest terror.

Subsequent to eliminating arms supply to rebels and detention in humane conditions, the authority obligatory to retreat to the barracks and ceasefire.

The government could then resume implementing constitutional reform held earlier in addition to Parliamentary affairs commencement with direct negotiations involving the Syrian mainstream and minority across the state for further political transformation leading to democratic system.

Meanwhile, the obstructionists anchored on regime change refraining from exacerbating turmoil instrumental for ceasefire to prevail facilitating constructive dialogue between people and the state besides honoring national sovereignty.

As mentioned earlier, Syria is a litmus test for the UN as an international body and UNSC members to demonstrate sincere commitment in resolving humanitarian plight rather than maneuvering situation to their advantage aimed at civil war.

Syrian citizens could come forward rejecting the rebels clearly representing external powers interest and resist foreign intrusion undermining opportunity for them to engage in political settlements.

Similarly it is incumbent upon Syrian government to protect entire society from any danger beginning with preventing bloodshed and expediting emergency relief to the wounded and vulnerable demography across the spectrum.

Those advocating military operation in Syria unfortunately are under estimating ramifications despite lessons from Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya.

The extemporaneous policy best abandoned from military and economic standpoint.

On that earnest note, wishing people and authority in Syria amicable conflict resolution.

Syrian peace in thoughts and prayers, heartfelt condolences conveyed to families and survivors of the protracted unrest in Syria.

Peace to all!

Thank you.

Palestine – UN General Assembly (UNGA) Vote on Statehood

June 1, 2012

By Padmini Arhant

While the western powers target Syria,Iran and North Korea to lead the global society into world war III for dominance per PNAC (Project for New American Century),

Despite the misguided strategy experiencing colossal failures in every mission thus far,

The Israeli occupation and persecution of Palestinian population with children terrorized and taken into custody along with teenagers and young adults in Israeli detention camps denied due process not a priority among United Nations Security Council membership having passed several resolutions against Syria and Iran on human rights and alleged nuclear program.

Reiterating previously cited events involving Israel’s atrocities in West Bank and East Jerusalem through controversial Jewish Settlements, apartheid wall, check posts and,

Most importantly depriving Palestinian residents drinking water with supply diverted to Jewish settlers for substantial consumption on swimming pool etc. apparently not regarded crimes and justification for UN to impose embargo against Israel.

The peace process brought to a grinding halt and Israel now demanding border demarcation after having exiled Palestinians from the internationally recognized territory viz. West Bank, Gaza and East Jerusalem as their native land,

The two state solution effectively transformed into one state scenario in direct violation of the UN stance rejects Israel’s control over Palestinian state with similar reference to Golan heights belonging to Syria.

Henceforth, the only viable alternative to the deteriorating human rights problem in Israeli occupied Palestine is to adopt identical measures implemented with Israel sovereignty on May 14, 1948 i.e.

UN General Assembly unanimous or majority vote declaring Palestinian independence from Israeli administration in every respect would result in free Palestine Republic rule essentially reclaiming inalienable right to self-determination.

The comprehensive roadmap to two state existences was provided earlier.

However, the details are presented again to refresh memory for immediate action.

UN General Assembly members are urged to come together in granting statehood to Palestine adhering to precedence – UN General Assembly Resolution 181 in the establishment of Israel,

There cannot be any more procrastination in arriving at general consensus on this pertinent issue considering the passage of time and endurance by victims declined basic rights to life.

UNSC prominent members relentless engagement in stalling the plan from fruition proved counterproductive clarifying commitment to imperialistic agenda.

United States opposition to Palestinian request is subjugation on the Palestinian people and a major setback for modern democratic society representing the Land of the Free and Home of the Brave.

President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden of the United States could play a positive role in Israel and Palestine’s common interest with the UNSC vote without threatening to jeopardize history in making or marginalize the deal.

United Kingdom under Prime Minister David Cameron following suit would be a great opportunity in reparation of the incomplete British Mandate for Palestine enabling fresh dimension to the status quo.

Besides, the liberal partner in the current coalition UK government – Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg has a unique moment to fulfill the pledge to restore civil rights and freedom on and offshore in the critical UNSC vote for Palestinian statehood.

France backing Palestinian statehood at the UN General Assembly 66th session could be exemplified in action by newly elected President Francois Hollande with the vote that would pronounce the European pledge to liberty and democracy.

Russian President Vladimir Putin and Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev further approval having cast the vote for the two-state solution on pre 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as Palestine’s capital would signify Russia’s position as formidable peacemaker in the monumental UN resolution.

China – President Hu Jintao and Premier Wen Jiabao leaderships cooperation at the Security Council for Palestinian cause would confirm the relations with Middle East and Islamic nations in Central Asia and Africa given the emerging economy’s energy dependency notwithstanding the anticipated export demand.

Last but not the least – Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Knesset legislators accepting reality in the rational approach is a pragmatic path for Israel renouncing all obstacles to peace, national integrity and image.

Understandably, Israel and Palestinian authorities have relevant concerns over issues similar to the events in the aftermath of Israel establishment.

Although the situation now contrast with the circumstances then allowing few exceptions, it is necessary to consider the factors for smooth transitioning and long lasting peace.

Israel highlighted on security, borders, Arab world acknowledgment of Israel sovereignty and the right to return for residency.

Security – Israel being the nuclear nation together with United States and NATO nuclear, military and logistic capabilities are indomitable forces in the region dispelling the myth about security matter.

Poignantly, Palestinian emancipation would preoccupy citizens in nation building and perhaps renew trade relation with Israel preventing unnecessary intrusion from fundamentalism or anti-Semitism that would mean anti-Palestinian growth.

Border – UN member states and United Nations Security Council Resolution 242, which underscores –

“The inadmissibility of the territory acquisition by war”,

The resolution valid in the present environment and incumbent upon Israel to withdraw from occupied areas in exchange for normal dealings with Arab partners based on the Land for peace policy.

Accordingly, territories claimed in 1967 Six-Day War by Israel will be returned i.e. West Bank (Judaea and Samaria), East Jerusalem, the Gaza strip to Palestine and the Golan Heights to Syria respectively.

Retaining traditional boundaries of the Old City in Jerusalem into the Muslim, the Jewish, the Christian and the Armenian Quarter imperative for equanimity and secularism.

Likewise observing reverence to all religions – Judaism, Islam and Christianity in the Holy city of Jerusalem paramount to maintain sanctity.

In the Israeli controlled Old City comprising the Western Wall and the Temple Mount,

The Western Wall and only the Jewish place of worship at the Temple Mount would be assigned as the Jewish territory.

The Church of the Holy Sepulchre also known as the Church of the Resurrection – important to Christians near Muristan in the Christian Quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem to assume the specific religious designation without infringement from other religions.

Nevertheless, the Old City with Al Aqsa Mosque located on the far southern side of the Temple Mount facing the Holy Mecca and the Dome of the Rock in the middle sacred to Islam and the Muslim community site, as Waqf would be part of the Palestinian territory.

Israeli government enforced controversial ban on prayer by non-Muslim visitors at the site creating false perception to be lifted for religious and communal harmony besides promoting tourism for the legitimate authority.

Israel sovereignty: Premised on Land for peace – Arab recognition of Israel sovereignty directly linked to Israel honoring Palestinian statehood per the defined goals.

The trend reversal from chaos to calmness rests on reciprocation for bilateral and regional peace.

Right to Return: Palestinian diaspora – the refugees in Jordan, Syria, Iraq and across the Middle East in particular, return to post-independent Palestine could be reinstated as Palestinian citizens in Palestinian territory.

They could potentially be economic migrants contributing to productivity and development in Gaza – the coastal strip subjected to the ill effects of warfare.

Simultaneously, immigration laws applicable for entry into Israel and vice versa unless bilateral agreement between Palestinian and Israeli governments boosting economic prospects in education, business and hospitality industry accommodates simplified travel on special visa category.

The contentious issues from the Palestinian side arguably are Israeli occupation, settlements expansion, check posts and borders.

Repeating the process from 2005 in Gaza – Complete withdrawal of Israeli troops and settlers in addition to dismantling check posts from all Palestinian territories required in compliance with UN resolution on Palestinian statehood.

Non-acceptance or dismissal would constitute international treaty breach with economic sanctions, freezing bank accounts and diplomatic ties, transportation blockade on aviation, marine and ground access as consequences to rejecting peace accord.

Israeli-Palestinian crisis has prolonged for decades averting peace and instead intransigence prevailing over reason.

Neither the loss of innocent lives in Palestine and Israel be in vain,

Nor Palestinians plea to UN General Assembly ignored diminishing the international organization stature and credibility as trustworthy entity to preside over humanitarian affairs in a fair and judicious manner.

United Nations Security Council and General Assembly members are once again entrusted with the task of ending people suffering synonymous to UNGA action in 1948 towards Israel.

Global endorsement at the United Nations General Assembly would expedite imminent Palestine statehood identity.

UNGA members abstinence or nay vote in this regard could imply them cowering to influential power undermining national sovereignty and independent status.

Israel could share the inevitable peace and progress as a reliable ally and innovative partner.

Attempts to discard permanent resolution on Israeli Palestinian dispute evidently detrimental to world security reverting to cyclical violence.

Israel and Palestine have been burying their future with youth caught in the crossfire.

Palestinian younger generation forced to waste precious life in captivity and concurrently Israeli citizens in the same age group conscripted for indefinite deployment in Palestine and commissioned to perpetual harassment not barring killings against their will.

Time to cease settlement and hostility for a new beginning.

Best Wishes and Good Luck! To Palestine and Israel for successful two-state coexistence in peace.

Peace to all!

Thank you.

Pakistan – Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani Exoneration

May 24, 2012

By Padmini Arhant

Pakistan Supreme Court held Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani contempt of court for not obliging order to write to Swiss Bank authority regarding President Asif Ali Zardari alleged accounts considered tax evasion despite national constitutional immunity to Presidency during term in office and,

Swiss Bank policy declining such requests on client-company confidentiality breach unless probe mandated by country’s legislation and bilateral agreement between Switzerland and Pakistan.

Prime Minister Gilani’s defense arguably based on the constitutional factor and Swiss bank customer protection deal – presented the predicament to the highest court and unfortunately failed in convincing the judiciary that ruled the verdict.

Although protocol allows Prime Minister Gilani to charter course for vindication,

The Supreme Court conviction on the head of the state impairs functionality with pervasive impact on the citizens and the nation.

The honorable Supreme Court action might be premised on national wealth recovery and rule of law establishment. Both notions are praiseworthy.

However, the judiciary bound by constitutional law in upholding national constitution that in this particular instance provides the office of Presidency impunity against investigation and legal ramifications until tenure expiry –

Perhaps generates odd situation considering truly democratic institutions are governed by constitution and any changes made possible through legislative amendment rather than judicial interpretation.

Besides individuals with Swiss Bank and other overseas accounts are legally entitled to prove legitimate earnings from otherwise prior to general assumption.

Hence given the system framework and civil rights combined with constitution granted Presidential privilege,

The misplaced target – Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani appropriately eligible for exoneration i.e. charges dismissal with prejudice.

Prime Minister Gilani compliance to the court order would be futile wasting valuable time and resources apart from causing unnecessary political rift in the first ever viable civilian rule in Pakistan.

On broader perspective – corruption and taxation revenues is a worldwide epidemic seeking collective measures beginning with tax reform in the domestic front and global treaty to enable nations in tracking and receiving tax funds owed to national exchequer or treasury.

International cooperation enforced via universal accord binding banking, commerce and economic sector not barring political structure such as governments is the only effective means to dispense with burgeoning corruption and tax fraud.

The contemporary problems for nations crippled with corruption are the tax loopholes and systemic breakdown in ethical efficacy that needs fundamental change to realize positive outcome.

With respect to Pakistan political stability – Under President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani leadership significant progress made with resolutions passed in Parliament protecting national sovereignty severely compromised until recently in U.S. led NATO military interventions and,

More inclusive cabinet appointments with caliber other than consistent strides on myriad issues especially threatening security handled adeptly demonstrating restraints and rationality.

Similarly Pakistan’s army led by General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani admirably defended the nation at the critical times with internal and external challenges constantly hindering efforts against incessant violence.

Prime Minister Gilani appointed ISI Chief Lt. Gen. Zaheer-ul-Islam poignant in strengthening ties among all three branches – the government representing the people, the army focused on national defense and intelligence agency directed at eliminating potential danger from within and offshore.

Pakistan citizens deserve peace and rapid economic development deprived in the ongoing tension and extremities inside the country largely emanating from sources engaged in regional destabilization.

Parliament overwhelming majority decision defining terms and conditions on foreign powers engagement in the so-called war on terror not only deters continuous turmoil but also reminds forces to refrain from undermining Pakistan’s independent identity.

Solidarity is key in Pakistan or anywhere to resolve issues confronting the nation amid turbulence for global dominance and subjugation.

Pakistan army and intelligence commitment in disarming militancy and dismantling terror networks in the country alongside government deportation of any elements from abroad would substantially reduce killings and safeguard innocent lives across the nation.

Maintaining harmony while remaining confined to institutional role would facilitate efficient governance.

Pakistan is on the right path in pursuing diplomacy with neighbors and improving trade relations imperative to alleviate population suffering on all sides.

Nuclear free zone predominantly dependent upon United States, Israel, United Kingdom and allies leading the world in denuclearization commencing with them and abandoning their far-fetched aspirations guided by self-detrimental ideology.

The western powers indulgence evidently hurting respective economies and credibility in the international domain.

Pakistan is a sovereign nation with long possessed rights to self-determination.

Therefore unity among all branches – legislative, executive, military, intelligence and judiciary complementing one another paramount to move the nation forward in all dimensions and cherish the freedom gained from immense sacrifice until today.

Pakistan society with proud heritage, tremendous talent and courage is a strong and vibrant nation.

The youth in particular are great assets and investments in education, economy and social advancement extremely vital for nation building.

Congratulations! To Pakistan’s democratic power nearing full term and,

Good Luck! To Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani, President Asif Ali Zardari and political leaderships in peaceful resolution of the prevalent matter exercising diligence and prudence in national and republic interest.

Nations thrive when united and struggle upon divided with opportunists winning in the increasingly volatile environment.

Wishing people in Pakistan ever lasting peace and prosperity.

Peace to all!

Thank you.

Syria – U.S. Arms Supply to Rebels Violates Ceasefire

May 17, 2012

By Padmini Arhant

Ceasefire imposed on Syria led by former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan is in jeopardy due to United States and Gulf allies Saudi Arabia and Qatar persistent sabotage with arms supply to rebels representing them and not the Syrian people.

United States could perhaps clarify the modus operandi with respect to Syria and entire Middle East considering the intentional maneuver of initial peaceful and non-violent Arab Spring invariably steered towards violence through mercenaries imported from economically deprived North Africa and Saudi-Qatari regimes organized militants to destabilize the region.

United States and United Kingdom along with Saudi Arabia and Qatar intervention in Middle East evidently counterproductive displaying contempt for life in general.

Besides, violating peace process in Syria having voted for implementation is yet another paradoxical syndrome bound to backfire expediting departure from power.

United States latest arms sales proliferation to Bahrain deplorable especially despite the government brutal crackdown against peaceful protesters condemned worldwide with the authority showing no mercy on the citizens and aid workers helping the wounded and dying victims in the pro-democracy movement.

Similarly in Egypt, United States proxy government SCAF (Supreme Council for Armed Forces) reining control over Egypt population with U.S. provided military might costing American taxpayers $1.3 billion while they are being denied affordable health care, education, housing and clean environment…confirms elected leaderships misplaced priority and allegiance to global conglomerate agenda.

The forthcoming Presidential election in Egypt with unanimous call from mainstream and political factions to prohibit Mubarak loyalists and members from that era apparently not heeded exacerbating prevalent frustration among Egypt voters knowing too well the election without fundamental transformation i.e.

Egypt military removal from governance and restricted to national defense conforming to traditional role,

The scheduled political event under U.S. guidance is farcical and motivated to prolong status quo.

Likewise in Yemen, the cosmetic power transfer within U.S. appointed administration although headed by U.S. ally ex-President Ali Abdullah Salah behind the scenes exemplifies foreign powers reluctance to renounce unpopular intrusions undermining national sovereignty in Middle East and elsewhere.

The trend in Middle East aimed at vested interests would be catastrophic for perpetrators obstructing peace and inevitable political reform comparable to current wave sweeping across Europe rejecting ruling elite carte blanche domestic and foreign policy.

Syrian upheaval favors external opportunists vehemently opposed to democracy and diplomacy prevailing over armed conflict.

The protagonists constant ammunition supply to terror networks to prevent uprising influence in their country apart from regime change fervor claimed thousands of lives posing impediments to political developments in the war torn nation.

Constitutional amendment limiting Presidency to two terms facilitating diverse participation for the highest office that would effectively reverse inheritance legacy including recently held parliamentary elections eclipsed by outside sources deliberate chaos and unrest disrupting positive evolution in Syria.

The impression that Syria is a strategic advantage to accomplish targeted goals not only misguided but also cataclysmic for those underestimating consequences upon leading the nation into civil war.

Unlike Libya, Syrian defense capability far better than predicted in western analyses.

On the contrary, western trajectory thus far precipitously deteriorated since Vietnam War with Iraq and Afghanistan invasions epitomizing colossal defeats for modern warfare.

United States, United Kingdom, Saudi Arabia and Qatar leaderships bear responsibility in expanding Syrian internal crisis across the borders like Lebanon adding sectarian aspect to burgeoning turmoil.

Unfortunately, the serious repercussions to hostility endangering peace and life are slighted much to self-detriment.

UN ceasefire mandate was to save lives and move Syria forward in democratic transition.

Instead United States and allies relentless pursuits causing death and destruction in Syria and throughout Middle East impetus ending puppet governance and shadow powers challenging international consensus on freedom, individual rights, political and economic progress for all.

While United States and United Kingdom face verdict through electoral ballots for neglecting national issues and electorates plight creating generational indebtedness with borrowed funds divested on crimes against humanity committed in citizens name tarnishing national image,

Saudi Arabia and Qatar dynasties’ days are numbered consistent with history, contemporary fate met by authoritarianism and natural law.

Hence refraining from instigation and unnecessary interference in neighboring states would alleviate burden of atrocity and accordingly the price on lifetime deeds during settlement.

Syrian government pledge to peace, democracy and paradigm shift in political, economic and social structure largely dependent on the ability to keep the nation together practicing non-violence and democratic means guaranteed to be fruitful in national endeavor.

The government steps in addressing political demands are significant and encouraging given the tension and national security threat experienced in the approach to stabilize the situation.

Concurrently, honoring UN ceasefire and remaining focused on the establishment of peace and political power restored to republic rule equally important to win national and global trust.

With Syrian peace and political success in thoughts and prayers,

Wishing Syrian budding democracy longevity, formidability and prosperity shared amongst all.

Peace to all!

Thank you.

Greece – Economic and Political Turmoil Amid Eurozone Conundrum

May 15, 2012

By Padmini Arhant

Greece continues to be in spotlight for economic woes and election results with no decisive victory.

The political parties inability to form a viable coalition has left the country under caretaker government.

The symptoms in the ailing economy were overlooked leading to status quo in Greece.

Greece problems originally associated with hedge fund debacle tracing roots in Wall Street and Goldman Sachs, borrowing funds on fictitious financial presentation ignoring revenue and expenditure…are fundamental errors in the burgeoning meltdown.

The successive governments failure to recognize the avalanche from preventable deficit spending combined with stagnant taxation policy in the absence of economic measures to stimulate growth could be attributed to prevalent distress having ripple effects on politics.

Whenever national economy neglected hurting the population, the voter backlash imminent against incumbent and potential aspirants without solutions to serious problems inviting chaos and unrest.

Greece is at the crossroads on economic and political front.

On the economy – Regardless of grand troika i.e. the IMF, ECB and EU bailout,

Greece could start with review of erroneous policies that caused the economic mess.

The government bears responsibility for not exercising prudence.

Simultaneously the private sector for tax evasion and capital flight overseas rather than job oriented domestic investments shifting the burden from public sector employment and catering to local business expansion.

The government tax reform blocking loopholes and retrospective collection from those not having paid any amount let alone fair share could open the channel for national wealth recovery.

In conjunction, companies in Greece and foreign entities could be offered concessions on corporate and payroll tax – incentives to create jobs absorbing the massive federal layoffs providing some relief to deteriorating situation.

Thorough assessment of income and expense to increase and decrease avenues respectively in the budget,

While maintaining key programs such as health care to the weak and vulnerable,

Youth education for qualified skilled labor force enabling productivity and exponential taxpayers in the economy,

Substituting bureaucracy with efficient technology in expediting government approvals on projects, business licenses, leasing government lands to industries within environment laws are some initiatives guaranteed to alleviate dire state.

Underemployment over unemployment would be a better alternative i.e. retrenchment replaced with furlough (hours cutback) in the small, medium and major corporations with trade unions participation limited to workers safety, healthy conditions with standard benefits, minimum to reasonable wages and anti-discriminatory environment could stimulate economy and consumerism necessary for retail, wholesale and eventually manufacturing sector.

Reiterating earlier proposals on attracting capital inflow for economic development is favorable against harsh conditional bailouts compromising sovereignty due to deprivation of negotiations with euro zone power.

Furthermore, funding towards job promotion and economic revival contrary to lending for government survival would benefit population and nation considering severe austerity tied with IMF, ECB and EU intervention aimed at vested interests.

Once forming Greek government, the political leaderships could convene a meeting with multi-tiered business community seeking their cooperation to resurrect economy initially with tax remittances saving government from pursuing them utilizing the legislative course.

Then granting subsidies to certain industries with a requirement to hire workers in addition to exempting trade tariffs and barriers would address the current soaring joblessness exacerbating citizens plight.

International financiers could be invited to invest with a well-organized business plan and risk evaluation methods to sustain gains facilitating peace of mind and definitive positive returns for investors allowing direct operational management.

Besides fostering venture capital dividends re-investment would energize market for pervasive economic recovery notwithstanding much anticipated employment in the process.

With lower inflation from deep economic recession in the past five years, the investment prospects are higher for any investor at home and abroad not to mention the substantial work force availability making overheads more affordable.

The primary goal is to introduce robust economic policy encompassing fiscal and monetary oversight.

Concurrently targeting trade activities related to national resources and areas expected to generate proceeds viz. tourism, hospitality industry…each nation might vary in this regard and largely dependent upon unique endowments.

Most importantly taking control of money supply by printing money with precious metals like gold backing would emphasize sovereignty relieving nations from private ownership discretion.

Greece and neighbors with common economic strife could approach potential creditors with conversion debentures / bond Swap or shares convertible bonds maintaining flexibility for both debtor and creditor to transform debt into capital for the former and the latter with opportunity to become shareholder in economic undertakings moving away from debt servicing with stringent enforcement – specifically austerity.

The creditor declining conversion could be settled with cash reserves given the pre-determined fixed interest rates on these debt instruments are lower than market rate.

France and PIGS (Portugal, Italy, Greece and Spain) dilemma on euro zone membership bound by rigorous terms imposed by unelected external authority predominantly responsible for mayhem triggering main street demonstration in state capitals with political impact in Greece.

Euro zone is a modern day conundrum with seventeen nations’ economies intertwined and forced in a tug-of-war.

The performance or the lack there of particularly negative trends contagion evidently significant and deserves careful analyses to ascertain pros and cons for member nations contemplating voluntary exit or facing punitive expulsion by dominant powers behind the Union.

Euro zone is a prototype for one world government under single monetary unit envisaged for global dominance.

The model inherently lacking in effective strategy to deal with upheavals and apparently designed to serve the privileged at the remaining members detriment.

As for the beneficiaries – the central banks, IMF, World Bank and prominent western financial institutions are protected from brink of collapse by riding on taxpayers worldwide.

Trading through common currency and safety net perception enticed nations classified subordinates in the hierarchy.

Those cashing from trading without boundaries are now saddled with the weight of the same economies that imported goods until the euro zone fate started hanging in balance.

Euro zone boosted the high-end export economy like Germany and the currency deutschmark in the short run.

However, the disintegration is inevitable given the discord among members and public outrage denouncing EU actions thus far described as draconian for driving their economies to point of no return through deficit reduction and spending cuts demand unaccompanied by economic output.

Moreover Greece and other nations sharing similar predicament thrived before EU and euro zone formation.

The dependency on euro zone as rescue operator not necessarily achieved in practice
irrespective of nations willingness and majority exemplified thrusting Brussels unreasonable recommendations in legislation on the people worsening en masse suffering with no end in sight.

EU and Euro zone architects could perhaps explain the purpose in broader aspect on parallel government run by plutocracy conspicuously oblivious to mainstream adversity from extemporaneous policies formulated in secret chambers for sole advantage.

European nations – the victims in euro zone experiment reverting to national currency adapting United Kingdom principle that opted out of adopting euro for internal or external use to retain sterling pound value even though EU and euro zone conceptualized by oligarchy and Europe’s monarchies network to be applied in global establishment.

Euro artificially contained in volatility via currency manipulation – unlike the open discontent expressed against China on trade imbalance.

Political Stalemate – Greece elections delivering no conclusive outcome interpreted as electoral frustration against main political parties for prolonging misery understandable.

Nevertheless the country needs governance and a sense of direction to lift the economy and move forward with pragmatic remedies not only to salvage in the interim but also in the long term averting repeat events with relevant safeguards and fall back options that are absolutely essential to independently steer out of quagmire.

The existing scenario barring political factions to form coalition premised on different platform could be overcome in accepting reality – austerity alone would not work to reset economy.

As highlighted above, stipulations on loans to Greece and counterparts right now are for debt reduction and core administration functioning to liaise with Brussels brushing aside hemorrhaged economy and representatives – the citizens across the spectrum.

Unless economy is financed for GDP improvement and job creation, the band-aid treatment would not heal the overall manifestation.

Opposition to austerity is responded with prompt replacement of EU choice witnessed in Prime Minister George Papandreou – no confidence vote brought upon by outside influence.

The outgoing head of the state Lucas Papademos was ECB ex-Vice President appointed to implement Brussels extremities obviously unsuccessful and revealed in political uncertainty amid economic turmoil.

Greece – the civilization that contributed modern political system to the world – Parliament and Democracy cannot be disoriented in the new age.

Greek electorates desire to be part of euro zone barring European Commission’s rules specifically austerity – the position met with criticism per news report.

Holding frequent elections is expensive for nations at any time. Greece under duress could no longer perpetuate economic downslide.

SYRIZA and Socialists Party could forge alliance with a paradigm shift in political and economic structure focused on departure from euro zone and adhering to self-disciplined resolutions for change to come into fruition.

The above-mentioned economic guidance could impetus the desperately needed surge.

Streamlining cuts – abandoning redundant, costlier government involvement ranging from military to civilian commitments would spare divestments in the economy.

Prioritizing job arrangement and crucial services is a necessity and practical endeavor for government and business leadership.

Policy framework could be regularly monitored for appropriate modifications and renewal.

Political perspective – crackdown on corruption that stigmatized Greece credit history apart from default speculation is paramount for new beginning with checks and balances conforming to transparency and accountability.

Greek republic rising to the occasion defending individual liberty and national identity would set precedence for others to follow suit.

Greece has weathered storms before as a free nation and could do it again in the likened spirit.

Progressive motion terminating procrastination and polarization would revitalize economy with lasting political stability.

Good Luck! To people and political leaderships in Greece for stable and prosperous economy.

Wishing Greece a brilliant future ahead.

Peace to all!

Thank you.

Russia – President Vladimir Putin and Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev Resume Office

May 10, 2012

By Padmini Arhant

Congratulations! To President Vladimir Putin and Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev upon being democratically elected and approved by Parliament respectively to serve six year term in office.

President Vladimir Putin and Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev – the dynamic duo are no strangers to Russia and international community.

Russia re-emerged multi-dimensionally as a growing economy shaping democracy in the culturally diverse vast nation under Putin-Medvedev diligent leadership demonstrating resolve, performance with results and patience in systematic resurrection of political and economic strength against challenges at home and abroad.

Following Soviet Union collapse, Russia was debilitated becoming the ultimate target for global conglomerate to access substantial resources especially natural gas with Russia being the world’s largest producer and second oil exporter next to Saudi Arabia.

President Putin rise to power regarded ominous among globalists eyeing on Russia preceded by China in the woeful global dominance doomed to be a colossal failure.

On the economic standpoint, President Putin and Prime Minister Medvedev policies in streamlining taxation and job-oriented investments reversed declining position to emulous status with Russia as member of G-20 and equally prominent BRICS contributor consistently producing positive returns evident in the middle class expansion and impressive GDP to debt ratio elevating Russia’s credit profile compared to deficit ridden G-8 counterparts struggling to fund federal budget for government existence.

President Putin plan to crackdown corruption in public and private sector would improve efficiency in business operation and eliminating bureaucracy clears impediments for investors in the competitive global economy.

Besides wealth recovery from tax evasions boost federal reserves enabling government projects related to infrastructure, alleviating poverty and programs in national interest.

Political reforms – President Putin maintained campaign promise on free and fair elections with very few irregularities reported in the recent polls.

The President assurance to investigate the errors is noteworthy and inviting political factions across the spectrum to participate in the electoral process with registration – a preliminary step towards functional democracy.

However, the western powers criticism against President Putin is access denial to top job in the country.

Russia has been through tremendous turbulence and continually tested for formidability by imperialistic aspirants currently on the back foot realizing the ramifications of far fetched agenda backfiring at them in national elections with their representatives paying political price despite financial backing, marketing and promotion under the guise of democracy.

The opposition in Russia regardless of political ideology was lacking in solutions to domestic and global problems when requested by then Prime Minister Putin to come forward with election manifesto precisely addressing issues confronting the biggest nation on earth.

Competing for the highest office without knowing the direction country will be led is dangerous considering the external threat and prevalent predatory trend exploiting power vacuum from clueless and weak national leadership easily hamstrung and manipulated or even worse in cohort with elements endangering life and sovereignty would be treason in disguise.

The candidates resume with or without executive experience alone inadequate to govern nations in the world riddled with turmoil and complexities demanding ingenuity, integrity, versatility, courage, compassion, patriotism, pragmatism and spontaneity – qualities not necessarily acquired but inherent in extraordinary leaderships nowadays more significant than ever.

Western powers disenchantment with Russian electorates overwhelming choice i.e. 64% in the most transparent electoral victory only confirms the persistent bias and credibility factor given the trajectory of their alliances and discord towards people’s decision thus far.

The habitual rejection of popular mandate witnessed earlier in Iran with Prime Minister Dr. Mohammad Mossadegh then lately in Iraq, Afghanistan, Lebanon, Haiti involving President Jean-Bertrand Aristride and throughout Latin America…installing their nominees clarifies western powers authenticity and respect or the lack thereof for real democracy.

On national security – the contentious anti-missile defense (AMD) system directed at Russia under Eastern Europe protection pretext and deterrence against Iran arguably provocative and unwanted controversy that could be resolved with mutual understanding to redress genuine concerns over any pre-emptive strikes in the north and south western borders of Russia.

United States and NATO downplaying the symptomatic risks alongside missile testing in Hawaii contradictory to START treaty ratification triggering nuclear armament rather than disarmament course.

Notwithstanding lofty rhetoric combined with economic sanctions against North Korea and Iran while violating international law on ballistic missiles seriously jeopardize U.S. as well as NATO legitimacy and commitment in containing nuclear arms race.

United States reluctance to provide written guarantee that no harm intended at Russia in bilateral agreement over AMD again reveals double standards in this context with Iran.

Although Iran as NPT (Nuclear Non- Proliferation Treaty) signatory allowed IAEA and UN inspection apart from cooperation in holding talks with EU last month and agreed to further dialogue on this matter,

United States rigorous campaigns on oil embargo against Iran with warnings such as comply or face consequences issued to nations irrespective of dire energy needs is counterproductive and hypocritical of epic proportion.

U.S. and allies recognition of geopolitical paradigm shift and economic realities would perhaps be conducive for crises resolution and benefit all.

Otherwise the younger generation expected to be tomorrow’s leaders in the rest of the world might simply not accept obsolete hierarchical feudalism set in medieval era.

Russia is on the progressive trail with steady transformation in political, economic and social platform learning from past mistakes like excess military spending in an effort to counteract existential western gimmicks – the ploy to derail economic growth that diminished Russia’s stature in spite of defense compatibility precipitating former Soviet Union disintegration.

Weapon modernization and advanced technology is essential,

Nonetheless prudence required in disproportionate budget allocation prioritizing sustainable prosperous economy, political stability and social equality preventing internal unrest.

United States alarming defense expenditure hurt vast majority depriving them basic lifestyle with cuts aimed at programs like retirement savings, health, education and environment.

Investments in economy resilient to volatility balanced with fiscal management would facilitate reliable productivity, capital infusion and constant employment generating surplus income.

Foreign Policy – Russia’s rational approach supporting peace and diplomacy in Syria and Iran is commendable.

As UN Security Council member – Russia could be a stalwart on Palestinian statehood with full UN membership at the general assembly.

On the UN Security Council Membership – In accordance with twenty first century socio-economic and political developments depicting marked demographic changes –

P15 substituting P5+1 barring political clout to garner votes would deliver general consensus reflecting fairness in applying universal standard on humanitarian issues and international affairs for common good.

Similarly G-20 replacing G-8 economic summits would be effective in strategizing remedies to downturns in global economy and financial market.

The contemporary two tier functionality is confusing rendering proposals from either groups redundant in the absence of solidarity.

Russia endowed with fossil fuel and nuclear energy could begin divestments in clean natural source for domestic consumption and worldwide distribution to attain 1.5°C or 350ppm – the optimum setting for planet sustenance.

Citizens in Russia entrusted power in mature, confident and competent leaderships of President Vladimir Putin and Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev for prolonged success and great vision gradually coming into fruition overcoming obstacles on the path to glory.

Good Luck to Russian democracy and the architects proudly represented by President Vladimir Putin and Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev with a promising future.

Best Wishes to Russia with cornucopia of peace and fortune.

Peace to all!

Thank you.

France – Presidential Election 2012

May 7, 2012

By Padmini Arhant

Congratulations! To President-elect Francois Hollande of the Socialist Party elected to power after nearly two decades since former President Francois Mitterrand administration.

The national election result favoring Socialist candidacy is a verdict against globalists and their failed policies through IMF, World Bank, Central Banks and European Union.

Globalization for access to world resources and human capital barring regulations enabling financial institutions, energy industry, health care and pharmaceutical companies including agro-based inorganic producers run political systems evidently backfiring at the conglomerate in the polls.

Alongside the defense industry strategy to thrive in the boom and gloom economy with arms race proliferation in the prolonged cyclical violence through illegal invasion, occupation and obstruction of peaceful pro-democracy movements in Middle East and elsewhere yet another dynamic to economic and political status quo.

Repeating earlier statements in this context – Corporations resist oversight and nonetheless the corporate managed political affairs serving in exclusive interests upheld by the unelected stakeholders via Government representatives from top to bottom.

Having been responsible for global economic depression, the globalists’ fundamentally flawed solutions to manufactured problems exacerbates human suffering world over.

The private financial institutions and EU major powers moneylending dictating unreasonable terms and conditions leading to severe austerity on European population proved adversarial to respective economies in the region.

The focus on deficit reduction while manipulating credit rating hurting government ability to borrow in international money market other than surrendering to IMF, ECB and World Bank financing under extreme stipulations confirm subjugation using economic strangulation for well known agenda – global dominance and establishment of one world government.

Again reiterating previous recommendation that France and PIGS (Portugal, Italy, Greece and Spain) currently experiencing economic plight –

The balanced approach to address debt attracting capital flow for job and economic growth could begin with seeking monetary assistance as investments in the economy for development rather than funding government payroll witnessed in Greece situation.

By providing incentives to domestic and foreign investors without compromising sovereignty and economic gains on national resources,

The even keel opportunity would impetus economic stimulus enticing profit reinvestments in the economy.

Concessions on land or industrial site for setting up manufacturing base, exempting export/import excise duty and trade tariffs for raw materials and machinery would facilitate hassle free business operation.

Above all, eliminating red tape i.e. bureaucracy and expediting matter subject to any government approval within required framework could revive jobs in the stagnant economic sector.

Promoting small and medium enterprise (SME) could redress high unemployment in Spain, Greece…and rest of Europe.

Tax reform is another area to review and revise for fair taxation and national wealth recovery from tax evasion.

Furthermore, the economies tied to euro zone consequently forced to bear the brunt of arbitrary rules applied across the board instead of individual assessment again by members maintaining a disconnect with victims poses a major impediment for vulnerable EU nations unable to refuse the hierarchy’s erroneous decision despite dismal outcome.

Eurozone limited to regional and international trade with members resuming local currency dealings would allow flexibility without burden on either or both sides struggling to emerge from recession.

Every nation reverting to ownership on printing money backed by gold reserves would ultimately liberate them from generational indebtedness contemporarily inflicted at private entity discretion.

On other issues like immigration and foreign policy – President-elect Francois Hollande call for solidarity is constructive and important to move the nation forward abandoning divisive overtones in a diverse modern society.

There is a deliberate confusion induced in the immigration debate often prevalent during elections anywhere.

When economies flourish the anti-immigrant critics do not necessarily attribute credit to immigrants even though historically nations throughout the world continue to benefit from foreign workers myriad contributions in different fields enhancing competitiveness in the increasingly tough global economy.

However joblessness during downturns invariably ascribed to immigrants – the scapegoat for political, social and elements exploiting circumstances to personal advantage.

Imperialism somehow portrayed analogous to immigrants dilemma.

The distortion deserves clarifications considering imperialism unlike immigrants empirically authoritative usurping power violating natives trust and colonization through aggression.

Contrarily majority immigrants are law-abiding citizens, hardworking, by and large integrate with mainstream at ease.

With respect to warfare – President-elect Francois Hollande position on Afghanistan earlier troop withdrawal in 2013 is praiseworthy although commitment could be sooner with military divestments in the French economy.

French electorate desire for change could perhaps be demonstrated not only in economic surge but also by embracing peace over military intervention in Syria and Iran.

France could lead NATO in nuclear disarmament in addition to curbing arms race worldwide.

Environment is equally relevant and France leadership interpreting climate talks into action as an industrialized nation would be a significant inspiration to all.

With hope and optimism – France welcomes the newly elected government and society together in harmony could achieve common goals elevating republic and national image.

Best Wishes to people in France and President-elect Francois Hollande for a successful term in crises resolution yielding lasting peace and prosperity nationwide.

Peace to all!

Thank you.
