United States – U.S. Presidential Debate and Election 2012 Review and Analyses

October 7, 2012

By Padmini Arhant

United States Presidential debate held on October 3, 2012 at the University of Denver, Colorado between incumbent President Barack Obama and challenger Ex-Governor Mitt Romney is an election campaign cliché with usual empty rhetoric and loyalty to global conglomerate.

The Presidential debate format on selective topics at the hegemony approved moderator discretion covers general issues while ignoring relevant matter.

With two party political system under special interests control, the election is a formality enabling the highest bidder candidacy ownership depriving electorate voice in legislative affairs leading to Wall Street management to suit their agenda.

The Presidential debate allowing direct public input with candidates’ spontaneous response would provide individual clarifications on different subjects rather than contrived coordinated performance withholding truth from citizens seeking solutions to problems confronting the nation.

Presidential debate was split into three segments focused on economy and governance.

The first segment on jobs and taxation policy revealed both candidates favoring tax cuts extension to corporations regardless of commitment to stimulate economic growth through job creation.

The candidates delineated in approach revealed their common goal to protect corporate interest by shifting tax burden on to American working families and lower income category following precedence set by Republican administration with democrat successor diligently maintaining the tradition as witnessed in 2011 during Bush tax cuts legislation.

President Obama’s claim on adding five million jobs in the last four years is a typical statistical omission of error considering the unemployment data and distinct variation in demography especially joblessness among African Americans and blue collar workers being alarmingly higher than other groups in the American work force.

Certainly there were some jobs created through economic stimulus in 2009 and subsequently jobs saved in 2010 when the auto industry with General Motors in particular rescued from insolvency,

Any other job increase is the result of government expansion with various agencies delegated to perform tasks broadening bureaucracy and unnecessary protocol delaying federal approval on business and civilian requirements or emergency assistance like the BP oil spill in the Gulf coast.

The environmental disaster in 2010 due to BP’s inadequate safety measures and salvage program,

The damages to residents could have been sustained had the private sector with specific expertise been hired on the calamity onset instead of wasting valuable time – the essence in relief efforts mitigating losses and saving life species affecting ecological balance.

The reduction in unemployment figures is also related to either temporary suspension of job search by citizens and/or underemployment i.e. part-time work as well as lower wages jobs for survival as opposed to gainful employment.

Small businesses mandatory costs ranging from health care to operational expenses offset tax incentives combined with indefinite credit crunch attributed to banks reluctance to offer loans to qualified applicants inhibiting small and medium enterprise revival essential to invigorate manufacturing, wholesale and retail industry.

The notion that corporate tax cuts are invested for job boost or sustenance is yet to occur with some exceptions,

In fact, they are utilized in overseas ventures and alternatively diverted towards mergers and acquisitions contracting labor unit with pervasive impact on the economy.

Candidates did not avail the opportunity to notify Wall Street on the consequences for their default on prevalent minimal regulations and obligations per financial reform that continues to be slighted by commercial banks denying small businesses, home buyers and students finance despite them meeting the eligibility criteria.

Contrarily, the President defended the bailout recipients commending them for prompt payments with interest on time and chided ordinary citizens quoting the irresponsible undertaking in acquiring assets by disregarding own financial inability.

Sub-prime mortgage debacle bankrupting European economies with contagion effect on world economy triggered by investment banks aka equity management firms like Goldman Sachs granted impunity from penalty or compensation to defrauded victims in the financial crisis with no mention from the Presidential candidates in this context.

On the question of spending, revenue and sovereign debt –

Not surprisingly Medicare is the prime target for both candidates with President Obama citing Medicare as the major discretionary spending driver again ascribing blame on healthcare providers allegedly overcharging government,

Even though health care industry involving insurance, corporate run hospitals including medical facilities and pharmaceutical companies dictate terms and conditions contributing to burgeoning health care dilemma for average citizens across the country.

The current administration initially having ceded to health care reform opponents upon viewing prospects on the momentum generated by citizens and genuine advocates dedication to the cause opportunistically proceeded by substantially rewarding health insurance and big pharma whereas marginally benefitting certain mainstream segments in the health care legislation.

The case in point with respect to health care legislation is democrats controlled congress and white house in 2009 and 2010 had no political will to honor significant population request for single payer universal health care.

Furthermore, the recent setback in Supreme Court stance – the last bastion of justice heavily influenced by political and corporate directions upheld unconstitutional aspect of the legislation enforcing compulsory health insurance subscription devoid of premium caps and applicable waivers to health insurance companies advantage.

Neither candidates are inclined to downsize disproportionate pentagon budget with Governor Romney rejecting the idea and President Obama in agreement to the concept but not necessarily keen on translating into action based on the four year track record that shows rapid escalation in military spending and widespread military engagement in every continent surpassing the predecessor.

Similarly, wasteful spending also termed as pork barrel spending is yet another factor in the fiscal disorder often used by lawmakers on redundant projects named after them in their constituency expending taxpayer dollars and,

Ironically, the same legislators recommend austerity – slashing Medicaid for poor, unemployment benefits, veterans’ rehabilitation, disability funding and educational grants to the states in the unconscionable sense to deal with rising debt.

Revenue in the absence of taxes from the wealthiest and corporate executives private income stashed away in offshore tax havens along with pentagon expenditure not subjected to external audit in the backdrop of trillion dollars mysterious disappearance escaped candidates thoughts in addressing deficit.

Sovereign debt and Federal Reserve are intertwined analogous to heart in the description of physical anatomy.

Above all, the Federal Reserve as the privately owned company in charge of national money supply and profiteering from debt is a theft and assuming complete authority in the determination of interest rate with entire banking and financial networks under the
elite groups wing not excluding monetary policy clearly subverts republic rule.

Federal Reserve is apparently accountable to none and exempted from checks and balances on illegitimate establishment as national monetary power.

The ex-chairman Alan Greenspan confirmation to Congress on Federal Reserve being above the law raises the red flag and should awaken all most importantly, the political leaderships being the elected representatives in the so-called democratic society.

In the latest development, the present Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke threatened Congress with potential economic collapse via manufactured meltdown in reaction to any congressional investigation on Federal Reserve activity.

The Federal Reserve blatant posturing should alert leaderships provided they were truly pledged to national service.

Education – the reality demands affordable quality education with sufficient financial provisions starting from K-12 extended to advanced studies in national preparedness comprising skilled work force as future taxpayers and leaders are paramount to compete effectively in the competitive global economy.

Again the candidates exchanged remarks on the achievements or the lack thereof in the government initiatives falling short of expectations and not quite appreciated by all in the educational field.

Energy – Both candidacies embedded with fossil fuel industry under energy independence pretext do not shy away from drilling, hydrofracking, mining and nuclear energy option.

The Obama administration issued permits to energy companies including BP post Gulf coast catastrophe.

The third segment of the Presidential debate shed light on government and governance.

Territorial integrity and right to self-determination – the definition of national sovereignty has long been usurped by external power.

United States is hostage to three main forces –

The Federal Reserve as the private entity minting money from fictitious debt,

The military industrial complex infiltrated into civilian rule absorbing vast proportion of national budget drive the nation into perpetual warfare,

The Wall Street exploits Main Street with corporatization of Washington encompassing all three branches of government.

Supreme Court life term appointment is evidently an erroneous stature with systemic abuse of exclusive judicial power misinterpreting constitutional law than intended purpose.

The executive branch unilateral decisions on domestic and foreign policy endangering civil rights and humanitarian laws neglect congress and ultimately public opinion.

Concentration of power in the executive branch with congress abstaining from constitutional duty to curtail democratic values violation pose imminent danger leaning towards authoritarianism.

Previously the Patriot Act paved way for FISA (Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act) and the Obama administration renewed those unconstitutional laws and in a giant leap introduced NDAA.

National Defense Authorization Act aimed at United States citizens are refused habeas corpus – entitlement to legal process and handed over to military tribunal not civilian court of law as terror suspects for any government deemed charges in semblance with rule against foreign citizens held in Guantanamo Bay.

Constitutional amendment rectifying the existing flawed functionality of government, military and economic sector role with declaration on institutional and organization limits desperately required to restore republic governance.

Interestingly, the Presidential debate precluded these poignant facts and indulged in exaggeration and embellishment of opponent and individual record respectively.

Governor Mitt Romney is obviously against big government conforming to Republican platform.

The ex-governor dismissed the idea behind government participation in every possible dimension and expressed clear intentions in delegating authority to states on jobs, education, health care and social programs that could be interpreted as decentralization.

Accordingly, the nation would benefit from both candidates their view on the New World Order premised on One World Government – the core members of the nexus group having seized power from the mass resulting in incognito corporate coup d’état, martial law underway and the White House disdain for congress.

The resolution to loss of sovereignty and citizens’ right is to reclaim national identity with trend reversal in the coming elections with referendum on five crucial elements rocking the foundation of constitutional democracy in the United States and around the world.

1. Invalidate Federal Reserve as the financial epicenter and repossess authority for money distribution, currency and monetary policy plus regulation and monitoring of the whole financial sector.

2. Military strictly confined to national defense and troop withdrawal from all war zones with permanent army bases closure.

3. U.S. to head world summit on nuclear disarmament with all nations surrendering nuclear arsenal simultaneously under independent and neutral international committee oversight and verification.

4. Prohibiting private and special interests financing of political campaigns allowing public funding and barring personal or borrowed/gifted wealth in the election.

5. Wall Street kept at bay from politics with repercussions outlined for top down political and economic leaders alike on breach of the public mandate.

Finally, unless the referendum on these preliminary STEPS passed for termination of hegemony comfortably settled to attain global dominance,

The contemporary era would deteriorate and decay to point of no return,

The incumbent having led United States to war in Syria apart from occupation in several other countries alongside incursion in Central Asia, South China sea and Persian Gulf,

Notwithstanding the economic warfare against Iran, coup d’état in Latin America and Africcom in Africa proving militaristic quest,

The hegemony preference is continuation of status quo.

Hence the concern among national and international members on neo con and Zionist ideology return in the event of incumbency defeat is naiveté for they never left the White House.

Project for New American Century (PNAC) and implementation of New World Order is in force and vigorously pursued with a slogan – Yes We Can and Yes We Will, assurance to the global masters on the mission certainty to empower few and enslave the rest.

All things remaining unequal, the United States 2012 election is a monumental fraud with globalists’ nominees pretending to counteract each other when they both represent the hegemony delivering victory one way or another.

There is no loser only a winner in the race – the 1%, sponsors of this ceremonial ritual.

Nonetheless, the custom eventuality produces a loser – the 99% falling prey to predatory standard,

In a nutshell, the candidates contrast in manner but fundamentally anchored on promoting supremacy with little or no respect for life and habitat leaving the electorate between rock and a hard place.

Republican vs. Democrat (both in name only) since the republic and democracy are up for sale and could be summarized as follows:

Candor vs. Camouflage, Elusive vs. Evasive and Defiant vs. Deception.

Unified peaceful revolution and referendums are prudent to remove the shadow power prolonged rule alternating between the two party sworn allegiances to them.

Inaction is worse than intermittent experiment with trial and error method.

However, the successful completion is dependent upon collective resolve declining plutocracy and feudalism – the existential threat to humanity, in pursuit of universal liberty and progress.

Best Wishes to peace activists, environmentalists and non-violent political freedom fighters worldwide for a productive and phenomenal outcome.

Peace to all!

Thank you.

Illuminati – The U.S. Political Game and Presidential Election 2012

August 22, 2012

By Padmini Arhant

United States Presidential election is an interesting challenge to electorate confronted with choices from two political parties directly under hegemony control.

With leading candidacies from both sides expected to demonstrate formidability in enforcing globalists’ agenda,

The contest between least desirable and least reliable in terms of national and public interest is the repeat dilemma for voters every election proving the democratic exercise farcical.

Whom should the people reject is the poignant question?

Arguably the forces behind political apparatus especially with United States Supreme Court verdict favoring corporations in Citizens United trial legalized floodgates in campaign contributions reserving candidate loyalty to the highest bidder eventually being part of nexus conglomerate orchestrating global events.

Who are these entities that nominate candidacy in the two parties political farces pledged to serve global masters excoriating earth for every available resource to benefit the exclusive?

They are none other than Oligarchy, Monarchy, Religious order and core illuminati membership…from pyramid apex right down to hierarchical stature claiming prerogative in the selection and final approval as witnessed in 2008 election campaign with democrat and republican Presidential nominees attending Bilderberg meeting seeking ominous blessing to represent them.

The real authority focused on global dominance with United States instrumental in militaristic, logistic, economic and political support much to national detriment successfully usurped power rendering democracy into hypocrisy.

Furthermore, the prevalent plutocracy with individualistic aims derived from common ideology – one world government fervor behind global status quo premised on military options and economic policy benefitting the architects of manufactured crises predominantly maintains supreme status with grand impunity in crimes against humanity.

In this context, the political leaderships adeptness to deliver corporatists and demagoguery demands slight constituents on campaign promises invariably remaining a mere rhetoric.

The current political dynamics in the United States deftly organized by global power to maximize victory against all odds confirms the illusive duality through two political factions essentially resulting in original concept – the establishment of New World Order.

One party positioned far right and right of center i.e. Conservatism and Libertarianism via Presidential and Vice Presidency openly committed to Wall Street and military spending irrespective of VP led libertarian policy echoing big government redundancy.

While the other disguised as main street party evidently satisfying NWO eligibility criteria in every respect transforming democratic nation into a police state, misleading public on domestic policies with real beneficiary being campaign financiers and lobbyists in closed chamber deals,

Notwithstanding AIPAC as well as other external sources influence surpassing predecessor in aggressive foreign policy – warfare, coup d’état, provocative military incursions on sensitive zones around the world.

Since the incumbent usually evaluated on performance track record – the four years with 2009 and 2010 represented by democrat majority in the House, Senate and executive branch could have fulfilled political base and legitimate national requirements such as –

Single payer health care plan, Constitutional amendment on Supreme Court decision related to corporate donations legislating strictly to public finance with expenditure limit.

Financial reform with banking regulations conforming to contemporary straits blocking loopholes for circumvention and consequences on violations similar to average citizen experience upon default,

Improving mortgage situation, eliminating credit crunch attributed to small business and manufacturing sector struggle, job growth in private industry other than government agencies generated underemployment –

All these measures implemented through legislation could have considerably alleviated unemployment, housing market, health care…problems faced by American families across the spectrum.

Allowing Bush tax cuts expiry to enable progressive tax structure revision for 1% wealthiest fair share tax payments rather than offshore tax havens and,

Congressional bills stifling disproportionate advantage facilitated on government contracts to legislators campaign donors and Wall Street speculative practices in finance, energy and other industry contributing to volatility along with shortage – are some core issues that could have been addressed effectively under democrat auspice.

Above all, the troop expansion in Afghanistan in 2009 – 2010 instead of troop withdrawal and broadening military operations under the guise of war on terror carried out during democrat controlled congress.

Not to mention the executive branch nonchalant extra judicial executions including political destabilization overseas with toppling governments in the past four years under the so-called democrat administration outperformed previous legacy to impress cabal.

Even though the scenario would be no different under republican management considering precedence in 2000 – 2008 revealing the reality on both political parties subjugation by global cartel,

The globalists preferred choice is extension of current political rule given the conciliatory response and preparedness to move forward with pre-determined goals in the domestic and international front primarily dedicated to empowerment of few and enslavement of the rest.

Besides, second term or re-election emboldens team to reject dissent in the absence of electoral backlash and accountability.

Opposition in the race designed to concede, as the presence is a formality to convince voters of a democratic process despite behind the scenes foregone conclusion on hegemonic representation.

The distinction lies in candid and camouflaged stances adopted by republican and democrat candidacy respectively directed towards promoting anti-people power debilitating republic opportunity to resist existential threat to democracy, sovereignty
and Constitutional guidance on governance.

Unfortunately, the predicament for electorate or victims of deception is casting their ballot to NWO regardless of party affiliation with globalists firmly backing familiarity i.e. incumbency to accelerate impending plan of action.

Constitution having long been abandoned by two party political systems in the United States endangering citizens’ rights and national independence,

Mass awakening to restore liberty and rights to self-determination,

Result oriented stimulants targeting economic recovery to uplift general living standards unlike selective prosperity on collective productivity.

Youth guaranteed with a bright future through quality affordable education and dependable employment,

Ending global warfare conducted under false pretext abusing troops vulnerability,

Respecting other nations sovereignty and refraining from military intervention to boost defense stocks and supposedly strong ally ill-fated ambition,

Nuclear disarmament,

Prioritizing peace and diplomacy over belligerence,

Saving lives and habitat – are basic remedies to renew and reorganize political infrastructure.

United States once heralded beacon of democracy regrettably engaged in obstructing democratic functionality world over.

Unless politics represented by government of the people, by the people and for the people hope and change would constitute campaign gimmick to advance shadow power authoritarianism.

Additionally greed driven territorial conquest in defiance of reason and pragmatism succumb to self-destruction.

The violence from illegal invasion and occupation causing immense adversity for innocent civilians increased in the last four years signifying continuation of ideological doctrine.

Denying access to universal freedom and progress by a concentrated group should not only be denounced but unified involvement to dismantle network paramount beginning with voiding overtly or covertly sponsored contenders enforced upon people as ultimatum.

Exerting totalitarianism made possible with chosen head and designates having aptly exhibited capability to surrender will of the people and nation to unconstitutional, undemocratic and unethical course devised for privileged members gain.

Capitulation is weakness adhering to repression elevating false sense of superiority inherently feeble in dealing with coalescence.

Hence divide and conquer strategy along with massive propaganda to confuse and restrict thinking ability superficially emerge potent and again predictably submerge upon unraveling of truth accompanied by imminent failure.

U.S. Presidential election 2012 is for citizens to come together symbolically depicting stars and stripes – the Red States and Blue States as the United States in revoking tradition that has subverted national identity, constitutionality and propriety for delusional purpose.

Illuminati never deserved to exist confined to convoluted framework to rein supremacy concealing trepidation within on inevitable dissipation.

Reinstating republic governance epitomizing democratic values in the dismissal of those betraying the country and society they are elected to serve consciously and with integrity is a necessity towards individual emancipation and pursuit of happiness in the free world.

Knowledge utilized with discernment avert calamity.

Wishing wisdom and paragon of virtues jubilant triumph over flawed cyclical fundamentalism.

Peace to all!

Thank you.

United States – HCR – 107 Congressional Proceeding against Illegal Warfare

July 8, 2012

By Padmini Arhant

Nations built army primarily for two reasons – safeguarding borders and protecting citizens from potential attacks apart from deployment during emergency relief efforts to save lives and involve in peace mission without artillery.

The honorable and courageous service requires personal sacrifice,discipline and discernment at critical hour to engage diligently mindful of serious ramifications often irreversible due to fatality on all sides with civilians being the most vulnerable.

However, in the contemporary era wars are waged exclusively for economic reasons and territorial conquest with troops not necessarily serving the nation nor nationals they pledged to defend instead laying their precious lives in compliance to foreign diktat.

The greed driven strategy focused on individual gains at vast majority peril has no boundary with wars fought without borders unheeding constitutional law, congressional dissent and international rule such as Geneva Convention not excluding military code during combat and POW or prevalently so-called terror suspects treatment while in custody.

Besides,extemporaneous foreign policy invariably leading to military interventions again at external powers behest in the absence of comprehensive structure viz. exit plan, economic costs and above all transparency and accountability with executive branch exercising excess authority from top to bottom.

It is noteworthy that executive branch in the latest configuration beginning with office of Presidency, Secretary of State, Defense Secretary, Director of Intelligence Services CIA, FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation). Homeland Security, NSA (National Security Advisers) and last but not the least Justice Department are granted impunity despite,

Hard core evidences suggestive of abuse of power notwithstanding treason against nation they are either elected or appointed to serve with honesty and integrity.

Accordingly in precluding consequences congressional investigations rendered redundant and a mere formality.

As a result public opinion and legislative authorization no longer considered relevant in decision-making process concerning national interest for they are predominantly directed and influenced by shadow governance like Council on Foreign Relations and Trilateral Commission among key organizations and institutions in control of national as well as international affairs entirely benefitting them.

Major General Smedley Butler – decorated war veteran and author of ‘War is a Racket’ detailed the reality on profiteering from war disregarding losses in death and destruction lasting over generations,

Perpetuated in modern warfare with innovative technology such as drones, short and long range missiles supposedly facilitating remote operations eliminating necessity for troops on the ground alongside discounting disproportionate civilian casualty endured by victims’ families thus far.

The arbitrary shelling fomenting terror recruitments in retaliation is also affecting troop morale demonstrated in regrettable conduct in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan.

War is not only accompanied by loss of lives but also premised on distortion and deception given the executive privilege and unilateralism in vogue defying constitutional requirement for congressional approval in the declaration of war against sovereign nations in Middle East or anywhere in the world.

Corporate media and news organization both local and foreign used as propaganda tools are equally culpable in misleading people and nation at large.

Congressional action against reckless, irresponsible and biased broadcast and journalism advocating military interference favoring elite groups would deter erroneous consensus among elected officials and electorate on crucial national matter.

In pursuit of ill-fated agenda risking young servicemen and women in harms way along with skyrocketing national debt passed on to American taxpayers denied many essential programs at home,

Funding other nations illicit wars via provocation and subjugation are against United States democratic values and constitutional framework.

The existing unnecessary tension with Iran and Syria posing no threat to United States or citizens yet U.S. incursions in the Persian Gulf,

Economic sanctions on Iran and,

Weapons supply to militias in Syria replicating Libya ignoring implications on the respective population is counterproductive and contradictory to human rights demand placed upon them.

Iran cooperation with international body and adherence to IAEA plus UN mandate deserves recognition allowing peace and diplomacy to produce desirable outcome.

Similarly, Syrian leadership consistent measures in political reform with constitutional amendment and multiparty elections held most recently envisaging more on the way amid defending besieged nation aided by U.S. and allies ammunitions are significant and violence escalation attributed to western and Arab allies hired mercenaries to disrupt peace prospects in the war torn nation.

Not to mention Geneva Agreement enforcing disarmament declined by western allies backed Syrian rebels echoing U.S. Secretary of State insistence on regime change and destabilization.

Syrian mainstream and real opposition reject overseas meddling and denounce western aggression exacerbating ordinary citizens safety and plight.

Ceasefire prevented at all costs with controversial rhetoric and flagrant stance adopted at ad hoc meeting called ‘Friends of Syria’ in Paris headed by U.S. Secretary of State on Syria.

Washington arms assistance promoting Saudi invasion in Bahraini crackdown and likewise disrupting Arab Spring in Yemen, Egypt and Libya reflect memory lapse in U.S. Secretary of State criticism of nations on Syria epitomizing double standards that jeopardize United States credibility as a trustworthy partner in peace treaty.

U.S. administrations regardless of political party affiliations indulgence in wars based on doctrines detrimental to American and global future set precedence for successors with each legacy devoid of moral and ethics declining qualitatively invalidate republic status with self-righteous ideology.

Investigations into 9/11 terrorism imperative with army, intelligence and government synchronized defunct otherwise averted catastrophe that went beyond domestic turbulence over to offshore multilateral expansion enabling belligerence dominant role discarding peace and constructive dialogue in dispute settlements.

War crimes related to 9/11, Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Somalia, Sudan, Yemen by previous Bush-Cheney administration and,

The incumbent power under Obama-Clinton for Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Somalia, Sudan, Yemen, Libya, Egypt, Bahrain and Syria that are publicly known with numerous allegations on activities conducted incognito in secret prisons through renditions and extra judicial executions having become executive prerogative subverting democracy,

Unless terminated with charges and appropriate sentencing barring exceptions dangerously legitimize power misuse removing congress from political system.

The bill to stop illegal warfare – House of Congress Resolution 107 sponsored by U.S. House of Representative – Hon. Congressman Walter Jones (R-NC) is a fundamental step towards restoring American democracy and national image.

Congressman Walter Jones apparently approached former President George W. Bush seeking explanations behind Iraq war and subsequently reported to have introduced –

Constitutional War Powers Resolution in 2007 co-sponsored by Rep. William Delahunt (D-MA) – prohibiting the president from ordering military action without congressional approval, except when the United States or U.S. troops were attacked or when U.S. citizens needed to be evacuated.

Congressman Ron Paul, Rep. Dennis Kucinich and many members of Congress stated to have come forward to co-sponsor HCR – 107.

The important bill to curb wars at citizens and troops expense through vigorous campaigning on Internet and other medium would expedite legislation.

The legislation also empowers Congress to proceed with impeachment upon violation of the Act.

Then remaining lawmakers obligatory to fulfill constitutional oath to work for the people and country unlike the reverse trend.

Abstinence or failure to do so would delineate legislators in their allegiance to political party and globalists wielding power overriding constituents will.

This act is monumental in upholding constitution and congressional ruling correlating main street position in military options dealing with citizens’ life and death in the national and international domain.

With appreciation for patriotism – Rep. Hon. Walter Jones and colleagues initiatives to change course from devastating military adventures by executive authority in the past and present time,

Urging United States citizens to participate in HCR 107 legislation for a new chapter in congressional history restoring republic power.

Please call Tel.# (202) 224-3121 at Capitol Hill Main Switch to reach your Congressional Representative.

Wishing success to peaceful and political resolutions – HCR 107 in curtailing global confrontation.

Please review the brief HCR 107 text and have your representatives cast their vote to conclude incessant wars across the globe for divestments in national economy.

Peace to all!

Thank you.

United States – July 4 – Commemorating Independence and National Sovereignty

July 4, 2012

By Padmini Arhant

On this day, July 4, 2012 United States commemorates independence from foreign control reminiscing freedom – the inalienable human right for expression and peaceful assembly among diverse choices available to individuals in any free and fair political system.

Regrettably, the contemporary era marred with U.S. and allies invasion, occupation and violation of other nations sovereignty for global dominance with expendable U.S. forces and taxpayers funds reversing the trend to imperialism.

United States current laws such as Patriot Act, NDAA (National Defense Authorization Act) denying due process in civil court rather than military tribunal and government unlimited access to citizens’ personal communication via unwarranted wire tapping including 24/7 surveillance,

Additionally, the invasive security measures at the airports not even sparing infants – some of them physically challenged although clearly visible are subjected to extreme procedures clarifying the military operation in the so-called war on terror either a failure or attributed to flawed foreign policy and military strategy facilitating terror networks to benefit defense industry and hegemony.

On the domestic front, occupy movement and other protests are contained with excess force and undemocratic means contradictory to constitutional rights that guarantees citizens liberty to dissent in a tolerant society.

United States permanent military bases around the world and simultaneous wars in different nations not barring latest actions undermining international agreements pose grave threats to peace and political stability in the volatile region like Middle East.

Americans by and large favor peace and diplomatic solutions to international disputes unlike prevalent political decisions not in synchrony with public opinion.

The military intervention against sovereign nations hinders prospects for constructive dialogue and meaningful negotiations in republic and national interest.

On this important day, troops in active duty including their families and veterans deserve due recognition for the pledge to protect citizens and sovereignty.

Wars are fought for reasons excepting national defense evident in the conflicts aimed at usurping power on false pretext to seize economic resources or strategic advantage overseas contributing to immense suffering all around.

Besides political leaderships committing treason against nation and people they are obligatory to serve with honesty and integrity.

Certainly, the present time is tumultuous seeking military options at ease ignoring devastating consequences affecting humanity and habitat that could otherwise be averted with prudence and patience.

War has become the mechanism to deal with disagreements for militarily powerful nation and allies refusing to heed consistent recommendations on non-violent approach to resolve crisis.

Life is precious not to be wasted in confrontation that could end in reconciliation beginning with talks and rational exchange.

Political freedom is imperative for a nation to sustain progress in every dimension.

Power exercised to empower society across the spectrum with equal respect and consideration for all in providing dignified life would enrich national status.

United States focus on national issues with divestments from warfare to economy, infrastructure and myriad programs in requirement for funds would expedite growth and alleviate vast majority plight.

Above all, restoring democratic values and social justice in shutting down the infamous Guantanamo Bay and abandoning practices that are condemned by United States in the international domain would deliver credibility and national image truly living up to the concept –

Land of the Free and Home of the Brave.

All are born to be free and freedom is worth celebrating upon universal experience.

Happy July 4, 2012.

Peace to all!

Thank you.

United States – Wisconsin State Governor Scott Walker Recall

February 3, 2012

By Padmini Arhant

The recall effort against governor Scott Walker in Wisconsin has been a tremendous challenge predominantly due to wealthy individuals like Koch brothers and corporate power behind the unpopular incumbency.

Republican Governor Scott Walker has successfully deprived Wisconsin electorate from normal existence with undemocratic assault on working families including private and public sector workers,

In addition to drastic cuts on education denying College students a bright future, promoting social inequality, state intervention on women’s reproductive rights and last but not the least – the environment.

The governor’s action thus far exemplifies radicalization of America’s progressive state primarily responsible for leading the nation in granting women’s right to vote in the electoral process for meaningful democracy.

Across the state citizens rally has generated widespread dissent towards the special interests driven governor’s policy.

However, the capital investments in political leadership regardless of electorate rejection proves the corporate and other political groups vast influence in ignoring public grievance.

The situation in Wisconsin and elsewhere evidently calls for citizens’ action to energize the state and nation to overturn United States Supreme Court decision on Citizens United to establish republic governance.

The existence of carte blanche to corporations and economic powerhouses render elections a mere formality leaving the electorate with empty promises on campaign trail.

Wisconsin residents determination to reverse the status quo is commendable.

The rest of America could assist them in this regard with donations to progressives united by visiting the Wisconsin State Progressives site involved in the ballot-initiated transformation.

Meanwhile, Wisconsin citizens perseverance in the cause would deliver the desirable outcome.

It is important not to lose momentum on the issue to demonstrate people power.

Wisconsin youth could play a significant role in mobilizing the state on cyberspace while the baby boomers could engage in fund raising for the common goal.

Good Luck! To Wisconsin voters in prevailing on the democratic procedure with citizens rights to choose legitimate representation.

Peace to all!

Thank you.

United States – Reclaiming Republican Democracy

February 3, 2012

By Padmini Arhant

In the election year 2012 –

The urgency to overturn United States Supreme Court decision on Citizens United granting corporations and special interests unlimited rights to undermine democracy beginning with election campaign throughout legislation is upon every American concerned about corporatism and external influence over U.S. politics controlling 7 billion population destiny on the planet.

Independent Senator for Vermont – Bernie Sanders has been the target of corporate and special interests machinery determined to quell dissent viewed as major obstacle in corporations run politics.

As stated earlier, the peacemakers and advocates committed to saving lives and protecting individual freedom remain focused on their mission until accomplishment.

Senator Bernie Sanders is currently involved in introducing a bill seeking constitutional amendment to reverse the unconstitutional and undemocratic Supreme Court verdict favoring the all powerful economic and foreign forces intervention in American politics.

The constitutional amendment would categorically define the distinction between physical and abstract entity – the oversight in Supreme Court judgment.

Although constitution is subverted for political expediency in contemporary politics world over,

The citizens’ proactive engagement in altering the existential threat to democracy is crucial to restore republic governance.

Corporate donations and overseas power investments in politics deprive nationals from fair representation in public matter.

Grassroots movement is a formidable challenge to the status quo.

Senator Bernie Sanders is also involved in other important legislation detailed in the lawmaker’s news update.

Reiterating the previous message on health care and social security,

American citizens pledge to preserve Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security including restructuring Housing refinance options and adequate educational funding would help secure the present and future apparently in the elimination process demonstrating misguided policy.

Your activism is the only reliable mechanism to bring about the change you desire in life.

It is critical to be informed about the real activities especially behind the scenes deals among politics, economics and judiciary…network.

Please spread the message, create public awareness for grass roots mobilization to reclaim republican democracy.

Your attention to Senator Bernie Sanders’ newsletter would empower you for further action.

Thank you for your participation in civil society initiative on national issues.

Peace to all!

Senator Bernie Sanders News Update:

“I want to take this opportunity to update you about what’s going on in Washington, and share my thoughts about the short and long-term challenges we face as a nation.

In the coming weeks I will step up my efforts to generate strong grassroots support for a constitutional amendment I have introduced to overturn the disastrous Citizens United Supreme Court decision of two years ago.

It seems to me that there are about five people in this country who believe that a corporation is a person.  Unfortunately, they are all on the Supreme Court.

The result of this misguided 5-4 decision, one of the worst ever handed down by a Supreme Court, is that corporations can now spend, without disclosure, unlimited sums of money on political advertising.

And we are seeing the results of that ruling right now with big money interests and Super PACs spending huge sums on television and radio advertising in the Republican primaries and in Senate races.

Unless we change it, that situation will only get worse in future years.

The good news is that throughout the country grassroots activists are working hard to reclaim our democracy and defeat Citizens United.

Resolutions in support of a constitutional amendment have already been passed in cities and towns all over the country including New York, Los Angeles, Boulder, Pueblo, Duluth, Oakland (CA), Albany (NY), Portland (OR), and Burlington (VT).

In Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, New Mexico, Oregon, Vermont and Washington state legislators have introduced similar type resolutions.

Please get involved in this issue.  Play a role in demanding that your local government and state legislature take a stand in demanding that Congress pass a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United.

To a significant degree, this is not a partisan issue.

Most Americans, regardless of their political ideology, do not believe that a handful of wealthy and powerful special interests should be able to dominate our political process and elect — or defeat — the candidates of their choice.

Another issue that I am currently working on is postal reform legislation.

The issue is extremely important not only for the 600,000 employees of the U.S. Postal Service, but for our entire economy.

As a result of a very onerous and unfair requirement that they pay $5.5 billion a year into a health benefit account for future retirees, as well as a significant decline in first class mail because of increased e-mail use, the Postal Service faces serious financial challenges.

Their response has been to develop a draconian proposal which would eliminate up to 200,000 jobs by shutting down over 3,000 small post offices, half (252) of their mail processing plants and end Saturday and next-day mail delivery.

This plan would result in a significant decline in the speed of mail delivery service and, in my view, the beginning of a “death spiral” for that vitally important agency.

With a diminishment in the quality and timeliness of the services the Postal Service provides, fewer and fewer businesses and consumers will be interested in using the mail.

The result will be that postal deficits will grow larger, more cuts will continue to be made, and eventually the Post Office will be a pale shadow of what it is today.

During the next several weeks I, and a number of my colleagues, will be working to improve the existing postal reform legislation, which is due to come to the floor of the Senate very shortly.

Our goal will be to save jobs in the Postal Service and maintain a high quality of service.  We will also be demanding that the Postal Service create a new and aggressive business model so that it can effectively compete in today’s market and increase their revenue in the digital age in which we live.

Lastly, I want to alert you to an ongoing issue I have been involved with during all of my five years in the Senate.

Sadly, virtually every Republican in Congress and too many Democrats are determined to cut Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid in the name of deficit reduction.

This is wrong!  We must not allow them to do that.

At a time when we have the most unequal distribution of wealth and income of any major country on earth, and when working people are suffering through the worst recession since the Great Depression,

We must not make savage cuts to programs which maintain the wellbeing and dignity of tens of millions of struggling Americans.

With 45,000 Americans dying each year because they don’t get to a doctor when they should, and when 50 million Americans already lack health insurance, how could anybody be calling for cuts in Medicare or Medicaid?

The truth is that we should be moving toward a universal, single-payer health care system, not decimating the limited public health programs we now have in place.

In terms of Social Security, please remember that Social Security today has a $2.5 trillion surplus, can pay out all benefits owed to every eligible American for the next 25 years and, because it is funded independently by the payroll tax, has not added one penny to our national deficit or debt.

Social Security must not be cut!

Yes, we need to address the deficit crisis, but there are fair and responsible ways to do that.  While the rich get richer, their effective tax rate is the lowest in decades.

The top 1 percent must be asked to pay their fair share of taxes.

While corporations are making record-breaking profits, many of them enjoy outrageous tax-loopholes, which enable them to pay little or nothing in taxes.

We must end corporate tax loopholes.

The United States now spends three times as much on the military as we did in 1997, and more than the rest of the world combined.

We must cut wasteful military spending.

Let me conclude by thanking you for your activism in the fight for progressive values and for a government which represents all the people, and not just the wealthy and powerful.  These are tough times for our country.

We must continue to push forward.  This struggle is not just about you or me or our generation.  It is about the future of the country and our children and grandchildren.”

State of the Union Address – 2012

January 24, 2012

By Padmini Arhant

Warm  Greetings to honorable members representing the House and the Senate of the United States 113th Congress, esteemed judiciary members, distinguished United States Military High Command, fellow Americans and citizens around the world.

United States is confronted with multidimensional challenges in the domestic and international front.

The complexities demand resolutions from global perspective.

Beginning at home, the immediate priority is economic revival with job creation, promoting business opportunities to retain and generate employment across the economic sectors,

Restoring housing market,

Containing massive property liquidation depriving American families ownership and shelter,

Credit facilities to boost small and medium enterprise,

Review financial reform and health care legislations passed in 2010 and 2011 for necessary amendments to relieve the vast majority i.e. 99% from mandatory insurance,

Health care industry cost adjustments for affordability,

Retaining Medicare as well as Medicaid for the demography dependent on these programs as life support.

Banking industry audit analyzing financial reform impact with necessary regulations to eliminate hedge fund anomalies.

Educational funding from K-12 to college degree programs preparing fresh graduates for twenty first century competitiveness and innovation.

Incentives to businesses and corporations upon guaranteed job growth in the manufacturing and service sector to stimulate economy.

Tax reform closing tax evasion loopholes, recovering unaccounted funds to a tune of $2.3trillion from Pentagon budget not barring financial assets in Swiss bank and other overseas accounts,

Tax hikes on 1% wealthiest to alleviate the burden on the remaining taxpayers being the core consumer base.

The economic outlook is also dependent on global economy especially the euro zone and emerging economies amid looming war against Iran.

Politically, with Presidential elections around the corner, there is an urgent requirement for constitutional amendments to reverse the Citizens United outcome protecting democracy from special interests proprietorship.

Electoral reform to justify free and fair elections considering the overwhelming monetary influences via corporate executive donations and other means to buy elections compromise republic rights in a democracy.

National debt and deficit – The heated debate often wind up with no action as witnessed in the Super Committee appointed to address the burgeoning debt crisis.

As stated earlier, spending cuts alone in the absence of revenue would not address the contentious problem.   Tax hikes and diverse income source in the equation is the logical approach to debt reduction.

Again, deficit mitigation would be futile in the prevalent determination to expand military commitments – waging wars on borrowed funds and printing money leading the economy to banana republic.

Pentagon budget contraction is no longer an option but a necessity to spare American citizens from generational indebtedness,

Warfare and Military Base – Troops redeployment from Iraq to Persian Gulf for provocative aggression against Iran is counterproductive in all aspects especially the economic liability on American taxpayers and U.S credit rating at stake with the alarming debt from the protracted military engagements.

United States foreign policy premised on illegal invasion, occupation and provocation is best abandoned with a paradigm shift in the establishment of peace and democracy throughout the world.

The strategy is evidently ineffective and unpopular not to mention the toll on life, economy and environment.

Nuclear and Conventional arms disarmament is prudent for global security.

Environmentally, the climate talks interpreted in action would expedite the universal goal on global warming i.e. the sustainable temperature at 1.5°C or 350 ppm.

World peace, progress and prosperity are dependent on political will and leaderships desire in resolving conflicts through meaningful dialogue and peaceful negotiations.

Peace to all!

Thank you.

United States – Protecting Workers and Women’s Right

October 29, 2011

By Padmini Arhant

Citizens across the nation are requested to extend support on two issues:

1. Wisconsin State – Recall Governor Scott Walker

Citizens Grievance Since assuming office Governor Scott Walker has targeted workers, introduced undemocratic Voter ID and dedicated to corporate donors agenda.

Public dissent in the state was witnessed throughout the year and the decisive response is to recall Governor Scott Walker for the remaining years expected to exacerbate the electorate plight.

Wisconsin voters are urged to rally behind the progressive movement engaged in Governor Scott Walker recall.

Please reach out to ‘Progressives United’ in the State of Wisconsin and defend republic rule with democratic values intact.

2. Congressional House Republican Members’ Misplaced Priority

Honorable Republican members pledged ‘Jobs for All’ on the campaign trail in 2010.

While jobs bill impending action, legislation restricting women’s health care passed this month clarifies the regrettable congressional discretion on citizens’ requirements.

There is an urgent need for female members and families to defend women’s right to decision on their health.

Please call your representatives in the U.S. House and Senate to reverse course by protecting Medicare, Medicaid and funding for women’s health.

Your solidarity will guarantee victory against powerful industry backed political leaderships and the erroneous legislation hurting the vast and vulnerable majority.

Life threatening laws undermining equal opportunity deserves mass attention and necessary intervention to establish effective governance.

Good Luck! to Wisconsin electorates in the Governor Recall and the rest of the nation on restoring women’s health.

Peace to all!

Thank you.

United States – Jobs, Economy and Deficit Reduction

September 18, 2011

By Padmini Arhant

United States unemployment at 9.2% and disproportionately higher among African Americans about 16.2% is national concern deserving attention from lawmakers, corporate America and institutions in the advisory role on job creation.

Economic stimulus through banking industry and automobile sector bailouts including various tax credits to middle class as well as tax breaks to companies,

Not barring Bush tax cuts extension to the wealthiest in the growth revival expectation is yet to produce anticipated jobs across the nation.

Beginning with credit crunch affecting small business and medium enterprise along with housing market decline despite historic lower interest rate,

In addition to stagnant job market restrains consumer spending relevant to energize industrial output.

Incentivizing small and medium entrepreneurships with required capital via business loans at special rates for established business and those struggling to retain or hire workers,

While minimizing health care costs and tax burden might provide relief to small businesses in turn easing the unemployment situation.

Corporations holding cash reserves could boost consumer confidence through jobs with domestic investments in manufacturing and service industry besides promoting research and development.

Tax breaks to corporations when utilized in job retention would promote economy and revenue prospects to address deficit reduction.

Simultaneously tracking tax evasions by corporations and wealthiest in the society could potentially deduce contributors to existing economic woes and growing national debt.

Regulations in the legislated financial reform is redundant with the lack of initiative and political will to appoint dedicated consumer advocate including crucial checks and balances on Wall Street irregularities having become standard business practice in the era of hedge fund type mismanagement.

Housing market is still under enormous pressure due to inadequate programs to help homeowners salvage foreclosures and short sales – promoting unscrupulous methods among trade representatives and lenders focused on immediate gains precipitating decline in home value.

As a result home investments is less attractive driving long term investors away from real estate to other investment opportunity with precious metals and commodities comparatively yielding better returns even against the increasingly volatile bond securities.

Stabilizing housing market with pervasive assistance largely from financial institutions having benefitted in the taxpayer bailouts could now reciprocate by offering relevant discounts or considerations to all i.e. first time buyers and significant population facing hardships to keep their homes in the deepening recession.

Such comprehensive measures would then generate rebound in home prices and construction industry not excluding occupations associated with commercial and residential real estate resetting employment for labor segment.

The current threshold in home rescue plan viz. ‘Make Home Affordable’  (MHA) is restrictive barely accommodating the needs of vast majority entirely at lenders’ mercy and discretion in interest rates modification or present market value adjustment for viable affordability given the available parameters favor lenders more than borrowers in the prevalent economy.

Monopoly in the national or global market share redefines capitalism endangering consumer rights and market economy dynamics.

J P Morgan Chase heading a group of five banks in control of 95% world derivatives market could inevitably threaten competition with corporate policies overriding consumer protective regulations and other necessary market interventions.

Similarly in the telecommunication sector – AT&T recent acquisitions are T-Mobile, Verizon, Cingular, Xanboo…are just a few with more on the horizon.

Nations confronted with rising debt and austerity to survive credit rating and budget crisis pose lingering uncertainty in the global financial market and general economy.

The constant speculation on possible default foment trepidation in the otherwise willful overseas economic partners investment proposals to alleviate challenges in the higher debt economies struggling between rigorous spending cuts and political opposition to tax hikes against wealthiest reaping benefits at the poor and middle income groups cost.

Tax code reform and streamlining tax structure closing loopholes is centralized discussion missing in action.

Another vital revenue source is holding domestic black money hoarders in foreign bank accounts especially Swiss bank deposits and several tax havens under disguised operations accountable with no bars in the application of law against culprits.

National bankruptcy is attributed to erroneous economic policies and indefinite military engagements offshore,

Notwithstanding unlawful activities in tax avoidance striking the hard working demography – the lower and middle class burdened with bulk tax payments as active consumers and taxpayers without substantial privileges unlike the wealthiest corporations and individuals deriving maximum income on minimum tax liability.

The pending job legislation seeking $447 billion stimulus from the Super Committee $1.5 trillion savings with compromises on social security and Medicare is contentious for it would directly impact the core consumer percentage forced to withdraw or constrain retail expenditure on common household goods and services for expensive private health care within limited disposable income.

The ramifications would be severe on retail and small businesses in the slowing consumerism with main street struggling to make ends meets in the dire economy.

With respect to infrastructure jobs in the package – the stimulus bill $787 billion passed in February 2009 consisted allocation for infrastructure repair and restoration.

Perhaps review in this context would shed light on productivity and precise job delivery in the past two years from this particular source prompting access to any residual funds for remaining job oriented national projects.

Funds interjection into the economy requires monitoring and periodic evaluation to determine performance followed by remedial course n the absence of desirable outcome.

If the bill comprises new techniques different from the earlier stimulants with guaranteed job surge, it might be worth pursuing the targeted goals.

However, reallocating nearly one half trillion funds calls for due diligence forsaking repeat experiments and,

Instead shifting resource deployment across the economic spectrum facilitating progress in farming, manufacturing, small business and medium enterprise, education, preserving essential services and programs via technology based outlets but cutting back on excess administration and bureaucracy in public and private sectors,

Green energy & technology supply without government sponsorships from the executive or legislative branch to safeguard taxpayers dollars.

In terms of corporate role with surplus cash in improving job conditions,

The reservations appear to emanate from looming deficit and Washington handling of the economy contrary to political perception premised on additional tax bonuses to entice corporate America on the 98% population backs enduring economic pain.

Free market economy is endowed with financial and human capital.  The player in the wide-open competitive field wasting time and resources on underlying risks is unfortunate –

The myopic view failing to recognize macroeconomic benefits tied to job investments.

In a nutshell, corporations having been responsible for economic meltdown in the heavily deregulated environment with no transparency to deter reckless activities involving public funds and holdings arguably bear prime responsibility in the status quo reversal.

Again, the political leaderships’ complacency and complicity exacerbated downslide with widespread implications on jobs, housing market, skyrocketing deficit, currency disputes, trade imbalances – revealed in Q2 US GDP 2011 at 1.3%, credit downgrading and overall grim economic report.

US Small Business Optimism index falls to 13 month low.

US August import prices excluding Fuel rise 5.3% from last year.

US Census:  Median Household income in 2010 fell 2.3% to $49,445.

US Census: US Poverty rate rose to 15.1% from 2009 – the highest now since 1983.

US Posts $134.2 billion budget deficit for August 2011.

US YTD (Year-To-Date) budget gap compares with $1.26T in 2010.

United States is not deficient in ideas, innovation and ingenuity.

The diverse skills in the American work force combined with exemplary business acumen and corporate successes are testimonies to U.S. economy being instrumental in the global economic feat.

United States economic stability and sustenance is paramount for worldwide development.

U.S. currency as international monetary unit in conjunction with developed and developing economies dependability on U.S imports reinforces United States position – the global Super turbocharger.

Corporate and political leaderships in the respective domain pledging commitment to economy and the country could expedite economic recovery uplifting citizens’ living standards with secure jobs, affordable housing and health care, Green energy and last but not the least  –

Safe and clean habitat – the legacy for future generation.

United States has triumphed the trials and tribulations throughout history and unified efforts around this time is pertinent to resolve daunting issues on the economic, political, social and environmental fronts.

Peace to all!

Thank you.
