North Korea – Missile Launch

North Korea – Missile Launch
Padmini Arhant
North Korea’s latest missile launch demonstrating Intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) capability, however lacking in ability to deliver nuclear payload due to weight and velocity leads to classification as test mode rather than operational type.
The inconsistency in United States media reporting on description and details with major television broadcasters – the cable news network (CNN) sounding alarm on the supposedly imminent threat to entire U.S and the world at large is media sensationalism. Such sound bites set the stage for warfare witnessed in the past and recent air raids and bombing in Libya and Iraq earlier with media propaganda.
The news media, the television networks in particular exercising caution and diligence with proper verification of facts for accuracy on reporting any matter ranging from sensitive nuclear issue to regular news events would be credible. The media has a responsibility to maintain ethical standards in coverage and analysis. The failure to do so given the pattern on media drum roll for warfare ignoring dire consequences and massive casualties is irresponsible journalism. The media trend favoring military intervention is well known exposing media role in fomenting violence.
North Korea’s nuclear program is contentious and as stated on this website many times over, the situation is a cause and effect scenario with provocation via U.S. troops deployment in Korean Peninsula under the pretext of protecting allies South Korea and Japan combined with crippling economic sanctions prompting reaction from North Korea.
United States recognition of the problem in this regard followed with genuine commitment through dialogue and diplomacy is the preliminary step towards diffusing conflict with North Korea.
Simultaneously, North Korean leadership outreach to South Korean people and government for direct discourse setting aside political differences and military exchanges is critical since the development in North Korea and United States position through missile launches and military exercise respectively upon reaching adverse point would immediately affect those in the Peninsula beginning with citizens in South and North Korea as well as large U.S. troops contingency in the region.
Obviously, there is an urgent need to invest in renewing communication between North and South as the crisis is related to the fate of Korean citizens on both sides forced into decades long skirmish with foreign meddling and presence for economic and strategic dominance preventing any hope to evolve from prevalent armistice to permanent peace treaty in Korea.
North Korea seeking nuclear status in self-defense against U.S. air strikes and military action could be deterred in the latter withdrawal of military activities in Yellow Sea and large naval base at North Korea’s doorstep. The aggression verbatim and in naval drills thus far substituting civil engagement proved counterproductive. Unless the most powerful nuclear nation i.e. the United States refrains from actions threatening security and sovereignty of any foreign nation and in this instance North Korea, the crisis would not desist.
Nuclear threats not just between North Korea and United States but in fact amongst any other nuclear states like India and Pakistan or for that matter the anti-Russian sentiments in the United States political circle with think tanks as well as institutions and organizations designing U.S. foreign policy not ruling out nuclear confrontation observed in the Cuban missile crisis in the past century is a reality.
Similar warning against Iran in the Middle East by United States during Presidential race and administrations in power regardless of right or left in political representation are reasons for nuclear quest in deterrence and not defiance to nuclear challenge from United States and other nuclear powers.
The call for denuclearization of North Korea would be practical in accepting and implementing the same rule across the spectrum not just selective imposition against nations isolated for geopolitical and economic aspirations that in return exacerbate any prospects on nuclear disarmament.
The world is never safe with nuclear weapons in anyone’s possession that are categorized as responsible vs. reckless in nuclear proliferation. The nuclear arms and advanced technology deployed in short and long range missiles with nuclear warhead endanger life and planet survival.
The recent vote in the United Nations on nuclear disarmament clarified the will of the majority to rid the world of nuclear menace.
Please refer to UN Resolution on Nuclear Disarmament
https://padminiarhant.com/un-resolution-on-nuclear-disarmament/
United States, Israel, Britain, France and Russia voting against the proposal is a disillusionment revealing the nuclear powers misplaced priority neglecting life over nuclear stockpiles.
The acknowledgment of nuclear danger among nuclear and non-nuclear states serving as de facto to nuclear power translated into agreement to nuclear arsenal disposal by all on independent international oversight would exemplify sincerity and obligation to leave behind a nuclear free world for the present and future generation.
The contemporary conditions are not favorable amid higher nuclear ambitions amongst major nuclear powers allocating disproportionate spending on nuclear enhancement and modernizing nuclear techniques while demanding nations they are in discord with to disavow nuclear program. The extraordinary expectations only reverse the opportunity on nuclear free zone.
In any setting, the prominent nuclear states viz. United States, Russia, Britain, France, China, Israel, India and Pakistan… along with the rest submitting to nuclear disarmament would legitimize concern on nuclear proliferation by others paving the way for positive outcome. In the absence of any desire to renounce nuclear status by nuclear powers rejecting the idea of non-nuclear world promotes anxiety and necessity among the targeted nations to be a nuclear force.
North Korea’s reservations on nuclear deal is premised on United States legacy against Libya, Iraq, Sudan, Syria and nations invaded for economic interests. The paradigm shift in U.S. foreign policy to respect and honor nations barring threats and military intrusions instead inviting them to a meaningful discussion would be conducive in building trust moving forward. Any other option that discounts peaceful negotiations would be a cavalier approach with extreme ramifications. The egregious decisions resulting in irreversible loss of lives and regional chaos would be disastrous and unwise.
North Korean leadership Kim Jong Un and military advisers are urged to pursue diplomatic course with South Korea and Japan abandoning repetitive missile launch in Sea of Japan. The time and resources expended in aggressive maneuvers should be directed at peaceful overtures that are guaranteed to be beneficial in winning global community support and ending foreign occupation.
Nuclear exchanges are not to be taken for granted as there is nothing to gain except debris and devastation highlighting abuse of power and violation of many lives at stake.
In conclusion, the nuclear powers unanimous consensus in relinquishing nuclear rights is the absolute and fair resolution on nuclear strategy.
Thank you.

United States – Violence and Perceptions

United States – Violence and Perceptions
Padmini Arhant
How crimes committed through shooting and automobile used to ram over pedestrians are characterized in media reporting following cue from those in control of events in the world?
The horrific gun violence involving indiscriminate firing at people in the crowd whether during a concert in Las Vegas or attending prayers in a place of worship in Sutherland Springs, Texas are described as tragedy carried out by the assailant invariably suffering from mental problem. In both Las Vegas and Texas rampage there were at least twenty or more casualties and several injured from firepower. The Hollywood style Rambo aggression displayed in shooting spree on both occasions and similar crimes earlier is categorized as unfortunate happenings.
Juxtaposed, the killing of pedestrians using vehicle in the recent East Manhattan, New York incident by the offender identified a Muslim from Uzbekistan is termed terrorism. There were eight fatalities and some hurt in this incident.
The bizarre distinction on actions claiming innocent lives with one referred to as mental illness or some personal background issue related event while the other definitively pronounced terrorism especially when the attacker is a Muslim. The trend playing race and religion card regardless of political position left, right or center and so on in media outlets explains indifference to victims affected in gun violence besides the usual practice targeting religion i.e. Islam in this instance with negative connotation.
In the wake of East Manhattan killing, the media report declared the entire Uzbekistan, a Muslim country as a threat to the United States.
Interestingly, the press and communication media in Islamic nations whether in Pakistan or elsewhere – the English language press corps in particular never failing to respond to such references from non-Muslim neighbors in the region, now remaining oblivious to slander of Islam in media discrimination of violence in the United States is perhaps economic interest outweighing importance and respect for faith.
The discriminatory practice is a reflection of those having no value for life and lack of virtues exemplified in sacrilege of religion.
The crime committed using lethal weapons and any other means against unarmed citizens is terror and there cannot be bias distinguishing one from another.
Similarly, the murder of children, women and men described as collateral damages when exerting power and authority through artillery, predator drones and military force is terrorism in worst format.
The isolation of one comparatively with less wounded and fewer deaths as terrorism against massacre in violent gunfire episodes exhausting magazine acknowledged otherwise promotes mass killing without the stigma of terrorism.
Again, the violation of life and rights in whatever manner is a serious crime deserving condemnation and terrorism in contemporary era evolved from conventional warfare deploying arms and ammunition for maximum impact.
Since the culture is created to accept violence subjectively, society is expected to develop immunity to disparity.
Nonetheless, the victims plight in all these situations remain the same in dealing with pain and suffering inflicted upon them by those indulging in senseless act and abuse of power.
Thank you.

United States – Gun Violence

United States – Gun Violence
Padmini Arhant
The latest massacre at the church in Sutherland Springs, Texas is yet another series of violence targeting unarmed citizens anywhere including peaceful sanctuary such as the place of worship.
Anytime the deadly act occurs, the assailant taking own life appears to be the norm leaving the victims’ family and community bereft and vulnerable.
The cause is often noted as mental health problem whether Las Vegas shooting or ramming over pedestrians using vehicle in East Manhattan, New York and now Texas rampage.
The gun laws review and revision being regarded politically unfavorable, the citizens safety obviously not a priority for some members in Congress and organization such as National Rifles Association, the powerful NRA lobby weighing down on powerless citizenry nationwide.
Is it possible for NRA and gun owners in the United States to object to laws denying firearms license to those diagnosed with mental illness or personal background confirming suicidal motives at innocent lives expense?
The incidents happening at frequent intervals is a news item soon dissipating without any end to senseless conduct. The individuals with mental issues in possession of lethal weapons is not only self-endangering, the status prove to be an existential threat to society. That being the case,
What is holding the state and federal authorities from introducing law to remove arms cache as reported in Las Vegas shooter’s profile detailing explosives and ammunitions held in massive quantity?
Where is the intelligence agency operation including NSA vigilance in detecting such unusual activity among certain individuals involved in mass murder?
There is a pattern now in the United States with citizens aimed randomly either in a crowd or in isolation. Regardless, these events raise concerns on domestic security with people expected to tolerate the loss of their loved ones as nothing more than unfortunate fact of life.
The public protection is state and federal responsibility. The violent means either with guns or automobile witnessed in mass murder in broad daylight suggest neglect of duty among those responsible to safeguard community. The absence of stringent measures in restricting purchase or acquisition of rifles and military grade artillery further exacerbate situation where people are forced to live in fear inhibiting free movement and normal existence.
Not only the background check on gun owners with regular updates on the system monitored by state and federal agency is necessary, the medical data on patients owning firearms identified with mental and emotional problems like depression would limit opportunity for those pursuing extreme course to take others’ lives that are carried out with planning and preparation.
Similarly, the medical history of mentally unstable individuals applying for drivers’ license and permits to drive heavy duty vehicle could be checked prior to approval. The medical information of patients suffering from mental conditions made available on the database for verification by gun vendors and department of motor vehicles (DMV) could save lives moving forward.
Simultaneously, adequate funding to address mental health is equally important to help citizens from committing crimes in society.
I convey my condolence to grieving families in Texas shooting and others in earlier episodes of violence.
May effective solutions through legislations and community coordination end tragedies inflicted on fellow citizens in the United States.
Peace to all!
Thank you.

UN Resolution on Nuclear Disarmament
October 29, 2017
UN Resolution on Nuclear Disarmament
Padmini Arhant
The latest UN vote on nuclear disarmament gaining traction with 112 votes in favor, 44 votes against and 15 abstinences is the beginning to free the world from deadly and devastating nuclear carnage.
The resolution draft from Iran is the Islamic Republic affirmation to nuclear non-proliferation. However, the non-binding measure is perhaps to test reaction. The proposal acknowledgment in theory but not in practice is a persistent problem for global community.
The world faced with existential threat predominantly from major nuclear powers reluctance to nuclear non-proliferation on their part while setting terms and conditions on nations they challenge with military attacks including the favorite line – all options are on the table alluding to potential nuclear option exacerbate global security.
The safe disposal of nuclear arsenal by all nuclear powers without exception regardless of presumption as responsible vs. reckless together with abandoning nuclear testing to enhance nuclear capability and deployment of nuclear weapons in allies’ domain qualifying as de facto possession is the only way to eliminate nuclear danger.
Not surprisingly, the nay sayers to the resolution – United States, Israel, Britain, France and Russia among others decline world peace and safety.
These active nuclear proliferators in violation of non-proliferation treaty ratified in recent times to effect indefinitely contribute to nuclear arms race in acting against international consensus.
Those who call for nuclear disarmament of any other nation would be credible in setting an example starting with them first and then lead the rest in that course. Otherwise the true colors come to light on motives along with legacy in illegal invasion and occupation of foreign land not barring the use of nuclear weapon.
The nations targeted for subjugation in any region are forced into nuclear response preparedness that is known as deterrent strategy. The aggressor such as United States and other permanent members defiance in renouncing nuclear status amid belligerence from them is essentially promoting nuclear armament.
The nations on radar are expected to quit nuclear aspirations. Ironically, those with such demand holding nuclear stockpiles never subject to independent international scrutiny and remain non-compliant in freezing nuclear activities. The stalemate in the absence of constructive approach via dialogue and diplomacy impose undesirable nuclear requirement.
The prominent nuclear powers viz. United States, Russia, Britain, China, France and Israel with established track record on colonization and territorial annexations pursue nuclear empowerment. Simultaneously, they expect those whom they aim at to disarm and oblige. In other words, they expect nations dealing with military incursions on the border to submit to suicidal mission.
Every nation has the right to self-defense and cannot possibly ignore the persistent security issues with provocative military drills and massive troops deployment near their territory. The ongoing tension between North Korea and United States is precisely the cause and effect situation prompting North Korea to rely on nuclear defense. North Korea has cited the facts on U.S. and allies raid and decimation of Libya, Iraq, Syria, Sudan and Yemen for imperial goals that continues unabated until now.
North Korea slammed with economic sanctions for nuclear plans often criticized as the nation driving citizens to starvation and premature deaths without accepting the contributing factors – sanctions and sources behind protracted confrontation. North Korea’s predicament is whether to capitulate to United States military provocation or stay resilient.
Though nuclear threats are not to be exchanged frivolously, the environment unnecessarily create saber rattling on both sides instead of serious engagement to find common ground in defusing crisis. United States and South Korea ceasing military operation alongside North Korea enacting moratorium on nuclear program would provide opportunity for peace talks through direct involvement rather than proxies and demonstrate commitment to protect lives on all sides that are at stake.
United States and other nuclear states resistance to UN resolution on denuclearization of the world is disillusionment revealing the real forces endangering lives and habitat with no concern for any generation.
Furthermore, the safekeeping of nuclear weapon, maintenance and upgrade of nuclear technology to operate nuclear facility is a phenomenal cost to taxpayers of every nuclear nation that could be allocated in improving living standards like health care, housing, education, retirement plans and infrastructure.
The population suffering from poverty, disease and lack of support in basic survival needs are dying in great numbers with nuclear states investment in nuclear development prioritized over life existence.
Besides, the risks in transportation of nuclear missiles are serious and nuclear accidents like Chernobyl and earthquake triggered Fukushima proved catastrophic. The nuclear ambitions among nuclear states on the high confirmed in the UN negative vote, the policy is alarming leaving the world on the edge for geopolitical dominance.
No climate treaty is meaningful in the nuclear world mistakenly assuming nuclear strength as formidable security asset despite the liabilities of nuclear reckoning.
The leaderships and members behind such decisions fail to recognize reality that they may not want the nation they represent as leaders to relinquish nuclear status,
Nonetheless individually, they do have to part with it like everything else when they depart from the world.
Most importantly, they need to contemplate on the world they leave behind for future is determined by choices made in the present time.
Peace to all!
Thank you.

United States – Violence and U.S. Policy
October 4, 2017
United States – Violence and U.S. Policy
Padmini Arhant
United States immunity to violence emanates from U.S. domestic and foreign policy.
U.S. weakness and vulnerability to complicity pledging allegiance to the so-called allies Israel and Saudi Arabia political aspirations is well established since the horrific terror attack on September 11, 2001. The calibrated and coordinated terror assault and thereafter the avalanche of military interventions evolving into sponsoring terrorism until today is the most violent legacy in the new millennium.
When State actors at the national level choose to ignore terror warnings allowing citizens to die on that fateful day, they are directly responsible for mass killings in daylight on their watch.
Similarly, eliminating the NAVY SEALS deployed in pseudo operation in Abbottabad, Pakistan claiming to have assassinated the deceased Osama Bin Laden in 2011 wiping out key witnesses further clarified monumental duplicity.
Above all, protecting those involved in treason against own citizens and country providing them impunity confirms democracy under siege.
The 9/11 attack became the premise granting heads of the administration – the Presidents of the United States transcending political parties the license to kill citizens at home including men and women in uniforms and innocent civilians abroad under the guise of national security they neglected in collusion with forces endangering peace and security in the United States and worldwide.
In order to maintain status quo laden with lies and deception, the White House since 2001 terror attack in succession have violated public trust and ethics in epic proportion.
Regardless of political representation as Republican and Democrat, the White House extra judicial executions against constitutional law authorizing predator drones chasing children, women and men from their humble dwellings in developing nations and war-torn countries in a manner considered a sport for executive office bearers, air strikes with nuclear components post 9/11 more so in the past decade speaks volume of the character of those at the helm. Ironically, even the Nobel peace prize could not deter such actions during their term in office.
September 11, 2001 set precedence to abuse power misleading the nation at every opportunity using fear and false propaganda for policies serving specific agenda against United States interests.
Unites States republic status is a myth and aptly demonstrated in decisions concerning domestic and international affairs. When government fails people in the deliberate mishandling conforming to secrecy and loyalty to unscrupulous ambitions costing citizens lives and national integrity, the trend is up for adoption attracting fragments within society.
The incumbent President Donald Trump’s rhetoric against North Korea that United States would respond with fire and fury is anything but responsible and helpful. Such statements from the Presidency ignites sparks and lights unwanted elements in the country seeking motivation in the suicide mission.
The repeat episodes of shooting incidents and false flag tactics with patsies attributed to government and congress misplaced priority, media overtones promoting wars and unsubstantiated assertions leading to deceit, tensions and potential nuclear confrontation.
United States foreign incursions ratcheted using 9/11 and subsequently conferring statehood to terrorism in 2012 onwards facilitating ISIL, ISIS, IS emergence not barring the effort to permit Taliban in Afghanistan to launch exile government under Taliban flag declared The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, in Qatar’s capital Doha in 2013 under U.S. guidance exemplify combative positions in defiance of peace and diplomacy not to mention the lack of respect for foreign nation’s sovereignty.
Citizens unable to cope with challenges in life apparently take cue from sources they are in contact with such as television at home, government leaderships and representatives constantly visible in every medium available in their life. The government and congress role is the touchstone for many citizens unable to exercise discernment concerning them and the world around them.
Although shooting rampage escalated in the past decade adapting to instance like public execution of unarmed civilian Miriam Carey at the White House door step in 2013 by then President Barack Obama’s security personnel performing as the firing squad, the selective condemnation of gun violence rejects the salient fact that all lives matter. The lives lost in senseless firing in isolated situation, a crowded place, college campus or imposed terrorism on 9/11 deserves equal recognition and acknowledgment of criminal activity subject to legal consequence.
The reckless policies, approvals and carte blanche executive decisions as well as reactions on sensitive issues influence minds and certain citizens’ behavior in society. The authorities’ peaceful pursuits and disposition in resolving domestic and international crises would be a paradigm shift in the country under external dominance and control.
What that means is rising to the occasion in welcoming rational thoughts and ideas from Senior Cabinet member, the present Secretary of State Rex Tillerson on North Korea and Venezuela for direct communication and removal of sanctions respectively. Simultaneously, having allies viz. Israel to return billion dollars aid to United States and Saudi Arabia and UAE to contain regional disputes with neighbor Qatar.
Meanwhile, ending conflicts in Syria, withdrawal from Afghanistan, Palestinian statehood terminating Israel’s occupation of the embattled territory are necessary for global peace besides rebuilding United States as reliable partner in settling international disputes and disagreements.
Any opposition in this regard would determine United States policy favoring wanton aggressions and egregious resolve proved catastrophic in recent memory. United States policy aimed at peaceful negotiations and dialogue rather than violent strategies would be productive and critical.
As for gun laws, the banning of assault weapons in public domains with rigorous background checks and regular updates is the preliminary measure required to curb massacre and homicide in addition to media and press fair and balanced reporting refraining from unlawful insinuations is an obligation.

Is Fascism Ruling the World?

Is Fascism Ruling the World?
By Padmini Arhant
The ongoing activities imposing unlawful sanctions, territorial annexations claimed as entitlement, coup d’etat against governments rejecting secret society members representation to reform political system into meaningful democracy.
The so-called Democratic administration policy on mandatory health insurance on individuals with penalty favoring health industry vehemently defended against economic prudence and democratic principles for symbolic rather than substantive purpose.
The controlled media and press engagement in massive subversion, false propaganda, disruption in governance wasting taxpayers funds on unsubstantiated Russian meddling in 2016 election...to name a few clarify anti-democratic, anti-sovereignty, anti-peace and anti-humanity forces eager to expedite self-destruction.
The democratic candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton was a failed candidate who lost the election in 2008.
How come no Russian involvement detected at that time?
Is it because such allegation was not convenient as the incognito power had their preferred candidate to create ISIL anc ISIS in Syria and Iraq, demolish Libya,Yemen and Afghanistan, divide Sudan into North and South inflicting unmitigated chaos, destabilizing Ukraine exacerbating Eastern bloc in Europe, offer 35 million compulsory subscribers to health industry and expand warfare in Africa, Middle East, Asia and Latin America?
Who gave authority to impose arbitrary sanctions against nations and individuals while never being held accountable for various corrupt and criminal dealings,massacre, genocide, refugee crisis and abuse of power?
The unbridled execution of decisions without any legitimate reason in an effort to maintain status quo confirms the world run by the unruly and authoritarian dogma having no respect for others rights or sovereign status.
Such provocations are unnecessary and by no means to be underestimated in response and inevitable blowback that are best averted modifying saber rattling to sober reconciliation.

Any threat to humanity is from the forces and nations diligently engaged in anti-humanity and anti-environment causes like sponsoring terrorism creating al Qaeda, ISIL evolved into ISIS besides illegal invasion, occupation, territorial annexation, imposing unlawful and unreasonable sanctions against anyone not towing the line along suicidal missions and kamikaze operations proved self-destructive thus far.
The bellicose rhetoric and belligerence are best abandoned to exercise reasoning faculty that could enable sensible solutions to unnecessary problems manufactured to benefit the few at the rest of the world expense.
The reasonable minds capable of comprehending issues despite false propaganda and massive subversion realize and recognize the real enemies to peace and unity in the world.
The world could no longer remain beleaguered under Secret Society and UNSC unipolar decisions to isolate and target nations or citizens regarded adversaries to enemies of humanity.
It is time now to relinquish aggression, military might and Superpower or economic power syndrome as none of these would guarantee accomplishment of devious goals denying others their legitimacy, sovereignty and inalienable rights in the ever changing geopolitical and economic dynamics.
On the contrary there is a great opportunity in extending cooperation on unconditional bilateral talks aimed at reaching consensus on matter and actions responsible for any dispute.
Sowing the seeds of peace, dialogue and diplomacy bears fruits beneficial to all rather than confrontational disposition resulting in eye for an eye blinding the entire world.

Terrorism
July 11, 2017
Terrorism
By Padmini Arhant
The world is conditioned to accept terror as part of life. Those sponsoring terrorism with free flow of arms and ammunitions, providing training, funding and logistic support to terror outfits are directly responsible for unspeakable crime against humanity. The senseless violence targeting innocent people world wide is condemned at the time of terror attacks and soon forgotten until repeat terror incidents elsewhere.
Could condemnation from those behind terror be taken seriously? Anyone against terrorism would not be involved in any manner in heinous crime against people from anywhere.
Should empathy from forces profiteering from arms deal to terror factions and states behind terrorism be regarded genuine? Such reactions are analogous to setting homes on fire and pretending to douse the fire they ignited without any concern for loss of lives that are irreplaceable.
Terrorism is acknowledged as major threat to national and global security today which is a fact without a shadow of doubt in the world forced to brace violence without warning or advanced notice. However, there is no desire to cease terror sponsoring with continuous delivery of weapons and diverse means made available to terror networks operating under nations denouncing terror and in the same breadth fostering terrorism for own agenda. The duplicity pervasive in contemporary events with politics leading the artful maneuver could not be underestimated though the cliché resulting in public disillusionment.
Terror was invented to undermine sovereignty and security of target nations replacing conventional warfare deploying troops on the ground that required congressional / parliament approval which means dealing with public protest on illegal invasion and occupation.
Foreign States sponsored terrorism is disguised as resurgence to destabilize nations vulnerable to strategic dominance. Terror manufacturers are not in favor of positive measures against terrorism understandably with weapons supply to terrorists proved lucrative besides powerful nations prominent role fomenting terror through various resources witnessed in Syria and Iraq.
Terrorism could be successfully mitigated upon international demand translating into effective actions to ban artillery and any other lethal as well as non-lethal supplies to terror groups anywhere in the world. In the dragnet surveillance on ordinary citizens rather than terror organizations, the spate of terror attacks in different parts of the world explains misplaced scrutiny revealing the lack of interest to desist the cause and not simply attempt to address the symptoms.
The dismantling of terror based in different locations is no longer a debate of choice with victims plight creating the urgent situation for world leaderships to arrive at general consensus to prohibit any form of aid to terror outlets exerting overt or covert control.
The international law tied to sanctions on violation regardless of stature would set precedence to dispose terror unravelling links to sources behind mass killings and fear mongering to deter normal existence.
Global commitments to fight terror is largely based on transparency and intercepting any sign of intent to harm citizens within or outside the country before the event. The terror attacks in Europe, Iran and the latest in India where the pilgrims to holy Amarnath temple were killed in crossfire from the assault on police post in Kashmir are appalling. These incidents could have been averted in exercising precautions and vigilance on terror strike.
In the environment where nations are in possession of state of the art technology and modern defense mechanisms, terror prevailing over national and international oversight convey a message that does not bode well for authorities responsible for citizens safety and security. The necessary political will is lagging despite combating terrorism unanimously agreed as top priority in global summit.
Where there is will, there is a way.
The world willingness to stifle terror has to begin in ending terror manifested war against Syria and Iraq. The incursions and confrontation in the valley of Kashmir to be restrained protecting the citizens and travelers in the state while initiating the process for peaceful resolution on Kashmir.
I convey my sincere condolences to terror victims world over and wish the survivors speedy recovery.
Peace to all!
Thank you.

World of Irony
By Padmini Arhant
The condescendence to physical attributes conforming to prejudice is accepted as elitism. The small and big comparisons often project the latter as strong though such premise is baseless. Juxtaposed the ones upholding anything big as mighty are actually submissive to tiny nations on the globe viz. Britain, Israel and Germany.
Tiny Britain became the dominant imperial power exerting clout until now. Germany with 357,000 square kilometers nearly conquered Europe in twentieth century and at present elevated as prime authority in EU ambit besides inclusion in UNSC as P5+1.
Likewise, small state Israel holding vast United States hostage on domestic legislations and foreign policy is a glaring irony in elitist playbook.
————————————————————————————————————————————————-
By Padmini Arhant
What is wrong with the ruling elites? Have they exhausted materials in the spin zone?
The contemporary practice to mislead the world on matter continues unabated much to own dissatisfaction and hard to convince the mass predicament due to duplicity in domestic and international affairs.
The grave concern echoed in threat to western civilization is inconceivable considering western policies since dawn of industrialization until now have destroyed non-western civilizations and culture on the notion they are barbaric, primitive and unsuitable for western dais.
Western invasion, occupation and colonization of continents for economic and strategic interests systematically decimated heritage of nations with little or no regard for cultural and rich ethnic values irreplaceable in modern times with materialism undermining humanism alongside erosion of intellectualism and spiritualism.
The concept of bondage and subservience emerged in imperial era persists until today with revival of feudalism evident in vassal statehood disguised as democracy.
Sovereignty and constitutional governance is substituted with secret organization comprising members pledging allegiance to agenda not conforming to democratic principles by not allowing public access to discussions on global issues and decisions pertaining to more than seven billion population in the world.
Election is a convenient process to legitimize illegitimacy with pre-selection and Super pac as well as special interests bidding on candidacy voiding ordinary citizens participation in the polls.
Corporations control over governments steering legislations to suit private goals is the norm leaving taxpayers at authorities’ mercy with imposition of mandatory laws tied to penalty in existing health care.
Additionally, the organizations like AIPAC representing foreign country such as Israel demand for compulsory aid in multi-billion dollars on one side and pressure to submit to protecting United States allies in building NATO defense on the other while depriving United States taxpayers and citizens from quality health care is unfortunately not considered a betrayal of electorate trust.
The ongoing debate about Russia meddling in U.S. election in 2016 is an interesting complaint from the nation with institutions and government legacy on interventions world over installing dictatorships and regimes displacing democratic governments and popular leaderships time and time again appears to have no end in sight.
The trend maintained by both republican and democrat administrations in the United States intercepting and lodging proxies adhering to United States foreign policy typically engineered by organizations and institutions viz. Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), Tri Lateral Commissions and think tanks representing globalists apparently not included in the same category of interference in foreign internal event.
Obviously, what is good for hegemony not approved for others as the case on every issue related to humanity.
Creating parallel unipolar system with veto power whether UNSC within United Nations or European Union to oversee member states, the alternate body exerting influence is enormous. The pattern once again subjugating nations independent status implemented as global requirement.
UNSC authorized economic sanctions and military aggressions on nations targeted for not in agreement with western goals are forced into starvation and perpetual violence.
European Union and euro zone functioning under bureaucrats in Brussels and financial institutions – ECB, IMF and Germany’s Central bank economic policies largely premised on bankers’ profitability enforcing sovereign debt via austerity in the absence of growth and opportunity exacerbate economic problems in respective member domains.
EU economic and foreign policy has been successful in producing refugees generating the need for liberal immigration strategy without borders in Western Europe.
EU lifting ban on arms supply and funding to terror outfits in Syria opened the floodgates for terror victims to flee their country. The economic refugees from austerity and population affected from terror sponsorship in Syria and Iraq are the results of erroneous determinations with no review and modifications to EU plan of action.
Similarly, EU prominent role along with United States in destabilizing Ukraine is yet another debacle leading to Ukraine losing Crimea to Russia.
The quest for territorial annexations in South and South East Asia is a cause for regional trepidation especially when major economic powers have boundary issues and encroachment in common territory.
The relations straining over border incursions could be improved with mutual respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity to avoid escalation of tensions between emerging economies in the region. In this context, there is confrontation of false pride hindering peaceful reconciliation.
On the nuclear front, North Korea Inter Continental Ballistic Missile capability is arousing anxiety.
Nuclear non-proliferation arguably linked with nuclear disarmament incumbent on all nuclear and non-nuclear states without exception transcending arbitrary rule against some as nuclear threats from any against another triggered nuclear arms race to begin with evolving into latest development.
Any climate treaty with or without United States is ineffective and meaningless provided serious ramifications of nuclear status among nuclear powers regularly conducting subterranean and overland testing is factored into environment degradation.
Unless the war strategy deploying uranium, plutonium and other chemical weapons contaminating rivers and polluting air cease allowing nations under attack to overcome treacherous conditions inflicted upon them for strategic dominance, the climate accord would be cosmetic rather than constructive.
Planet survival is challenged in many frontiers with nuclear arsenals, drones and diverse technological means engaged in combat situations excluded from elimination in climate pact weakening the issue of addressing climate change.
In the world of irony embarked on fault finding ignoring flaws and failures within is an incredible irony.
Peace to all!
Thank you.
