America – Election 2024 Message

Padmini Arhant 

Please pass this message and share with all those whom you care about near and far.

America – Please note it is not adequate to elect Donald Trump Presidency alone today. 

The Presidency also requires supportive, patriotic bipartisan Congress and Senate to fix the burgeoning issues and monumental crises in the domestic front and global domain.

The House of Congress and Senate members prioritizing nation and people over political party, agenda, personal and vested interests with the latter dominant until now is critical for the nation to heal and recover from the present status quo.

The same would apply from school board to city and county election on the ballot today and in the near and long term.

Therefore, America setting aside your special preferences and sentiments towards particular Congress members and Senate representatives, 

Please keep those members out of the incoming House of Congress and Senate in January 2025 and future. 

Whose only objective is to derail Donald Trump Presidency or create endless obstacles, barriers and roadblocks to disrupt and distract taxpayer funded governance from delivering all that is urgently required to revive the nation and provide economic prosperity, safety and security to all citizens leaving none behind. 

The repeat saga of post 2016 Presidential election with political witch hunt squandering hard earned taxpayer dollars in partisan politics conducted Congressional and Senate hearing or Robert Mueller Committee type endless pursuits to settle political scores carried out against then 45th President Donald Trump proven toxic and enormous economic liability to American citizens across the political spectrum and the nation at large. 

Please don’t be complacent to democrat political machinery in collusion with external influential forces deployment of political recruits like AOC on the left and the RINO Liz Cheney though supposedly the former Congress representative…and alike to be the disruptive contentious radical resources to collectively harm the opportunity for Donald Trump Presidency to serve effectively in the second and final term for the prospective winner.

You would not necessarily witness any such scenarios with their puppet candidate Kamala Harris seen throughout the campaign as well as the VP’s political career.

The treatment and game plan in direct contrast to their behavior against Donald Trump and their target whom they despise as the bitter foe, arch nemesis and sworn enemy. 

America – Please make government work for you to improve and invest your toiled tax dollars in your life and your next generation present and future.

Unlike the trend maintained thus far – political enrichment at the expense of the Republic insolvency. 

Change the political system towards efficiency, meritocracy, effective policies boosting economic growth and development and peaceful strategies moving away from violence, relentless wars and unmitigated challenges generated by politics’ default and dysfunctional tradition. 

Please Vote TRUMP 2024 with a  specatacular victory for all of you – the Republic of the United States of America, One Nation under God, indivisible with liberty, compassion and justice for all.

Thank you.

The Core Message

Padmini Arhant

The media and politics maintain as well as acknowledge that 79% – 83% of American population believe, feel and experience the country is on the wrong track which is the grim reality.

The incumbent VP Kamala Harris as the unelected democrat candidate has NO Policy and remains NO Comment candidate on all issues. 

Yet the media and polls tell the country the race is tight, neck and neck which is insane.

Is this narrative played to facilitate flipping easier claiming that the election was very close and a tie and hence the outcome?

Regardless, the American electorate recognition of these issues should be compelling to fix the status by electing Donald Trump 2024 and regain economic prosperity, border security, no taxes on tips, overtime and social security – all of which are relevant to voters from all walks of life. 

America – Please don’t forget these issues when you cast your ballot today.

Food, Fuel Costs and Finance – and the democrat candidate Kamala Harris FAILURE. 

Groceries, Gas Price hurting ordinary Americans and the democrat party call the suffering Americans GARBAGE, Women as Dumb, Unintelligent and Gen Z – 18 – 25-years-of-age as STUPID by the democrat contender Kamala Harris.

The democrat candidate Kamala Harris closing message was: 

Let’s move from Chaos, Fear and Hate – which aptly apply to Kamala Harris who wants to be addressed as President GENERAL in public video appearance. 

Kamala Harris is the epitome of Chaos, Fear and Hate. 

Chaos – Kamala Harris instigated violence, riots, looting, burning and torching of public and private property under the band wagon of BLACK LIVES MATTER in 2020 across the West Coast and other parts of America during national and global lockdown pandemic year 2020.

Kamala Harris also enthusiastically orchestrated GO FUND RIOTS at that time.

That’s why Kamala Harris response is MUTED on this year’s California’s PROP 36 with 76% Californians against Kamala’s Riot, Loot, Shop lift policy. 

Fear – Kamala Harris as the VP in the incumbent administration enforced Vaccine mandate on all Americans while now in 2024 touting women’s right to abortion.

Kamala Harris did not care about the same women, men and children rights to exercise their choice on the vaccine enforcement.

Many of whom suffered consequences not barring fatality as well under Kamala Harris draconian vaccine mandate. 

VP Kamala Harris promoted – NO JAB NO JOB policy with politics and Big Pharma sharing the fortune windfall from compulsory vaccine law. 

That was fear mongering in epic proportion. 

Hate – All that the democrat political establishment and Kamala Harris as the unelected democrat candidate has done is hate propaganda during interviews with their surrogate media CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC, CNBC, PBS etc.,

Not barring the controversial talk show like ABC’s VIEW whose only motto and view is HATE Donald Trump and supporters.

Notwithstanding the avalanche of politically motivated indictments, litigations and even assassination attempts have all been practiced to eliminate Donald Trump from the race. 

Such hatred and hate speech constantly referring to their opponent as Hitler, Fascist, Racist and assortments…is democrat echelons’ specialty – HATE, DISCRIMINATION AND POISON POLITICS.

So much so the democrat behind the scene operatives and front line shooters as the incumbent President Joe Biden, Kamala Harris and their string holders in the backstage Barack Obama, Michelle Obama did not deter from abusing Americans with speech impediment making fun of stutter and stammer in public. 

It is not surprising that when they deny and deprive their next of kin in flesh and blood – their child, the due child support like Hunter Biden, Barack Obama, Michelle Obama… leaving their child, the victim of their apathy.

Their indifference and prejudice against other Americans or individuals from anywhere is instinctive. 

The era that the democrat candidate Kamala Harris mentioned – Chaos, Fear and Hate is indeed the VP Kamala Harris signature legacy.

Accordingly, bidding farewell to Kamala Harris and the dismal decadent era that the democrat candidate Kamala Harris represents and epitomizes with America as the nation brought to the DEAD END by Kamala Harris administration in 2021 – 2024.

The American voters’ votes today could decisively steer the nation from Kamala Harris Dead End status quo to;

A New Era of Bright, Positive and Peaceful future for the entire American Republic transcending identity politics.

The power is granted by the Republic and remain with the Republic restoring the sanctity of democracy, constitution and solemn sovereignty.

Please VOTE FOR DONALD J TRUMP 2024 as the VOTE FOR YOURSELF and YOUR FAMILY keeping ECONOMY, BORDER SECURITY, IMMIGRATION, REAL DEMOCRACY NOT FAKE DEMOCRACY and END TO WARS in the world.

Please pass this message and share with all those whom you care about near and far.

Thank you.

Republic Status in Politics.

Politics must realize –

The Power is granted by the Republic and remain with the Republic. 

In contrast to the inherited political culture with the accumulation of power and wealth among politics leaving the republic with generational debts and endless crises.

Such politics exit is imminent with expedited expiry.

Update October 19, 2024.

Israel – the pioneer and trend setter in terrorism.

Biblical era – the crucifixion of Lord Jesus preceded by betrayal by Judas for three pieces of silver is empirical in religious context. 

The sentiment demonstrated by Israel in the ongoing war against Gaza since October 7, 2023 when Israeli aggression spread across the occupied territories in Palestine including East Jerusalem. 

Israel attacking the church of Lord Jesus in birth place Bethlehem, rightfully condemned by the religious dais, the cardinal in nativity, Jerusalem.

Israel’s indiscriminate assault shed light on the trait and characteristics of the irrational minds that never change regardless of the world evolution. At the same time the trend succumbing to own folly and disastrous endeavor is irrefutable. 

On State terrorism –  Israel is the trail blazer with bombing of King David Hotel in Jerusalem in 1946 much to the angst and fury of then colonial British upon their then administrative headquarters in Palestine was the target by Zionist zealots.

In 1967 – Israeli Air Force deliberate ambush against United States marine corps at USS Liberty instantly killing 34 naval force members along with 174 injured besides their families silenced with threats and categorical denial for fair investigation in the United States Congress.

Israel’s intentional attack ignoring peace flag from USS Liberty of United States – the benefactor since the creation of the state of Israel in 1948 till date was a major blow to the crew and entire fleet on board USS Liberty then up until now. 

The biggest treason being United States politics at the helm – then democrat President Lyndon Baines Johnson silenced by Israel using United States Presidential election in the negotiation deal. 

Not surprisingly, the tradition is judiciously maintained till date in U.S. politics when it comes to Israel. Notwithstanding at the expense of American republic and the defense force. 

In 2001 – Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s public statement on September 11, 2001 terror attack on American soil –

“The event is the best that could happen in Israel’s interest.”

Not barring the 9/11 terror spontaneously killing 3000 and more American and foreign nationals in the heartland of America among whom the first responders fell victims in their valiant sacrifice to save lives on the fateful day and throughout until now. 

Unlike the politics played by Israeli PM Netanyahu gambling on own Israeli hostages prolonging the Gaza war extended more than a year and expanded into regional conflict in confrontation with neighbors near and far.

Israel’s terror aimed at the UN peace keeping force UNIFIL under attack from Israel generating more frustration and outrage among western leaderships in Italy, France etc., enduring casualties as peace keeping troops in the most vulnerable rural areas of Lebanon under Israeli onslaught as of this moment.

Israel carrying out these illegal activities while financially draining every American man, woman and child in the atrocious war game.

October 18, 2024.

Israelis gather in large numbers on

October 19, 2024.

Their message to the Israeli government.

CEASEFIRE in Gaza, Lebanon and around.

Hostage release with safe return home.

Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu is demanded to Step Down by Israelis in the aftermath of year-long-war and failure to bring hostages home.

Will the Israeli leadership and the cabinet heed own citizens who fund and elect government?

The Biden – Harris administration having ignited the war with full force on October 7, 2023, lately sent 100 U.S.troops and provided more artillery other than anti-missile system to Israel. 

The U.S. administration with VP Harris have no desire nor commitment to end GENOCIDE in Gaza and killings in Lebanon and around the region.

Israel’s War inflicting precipitous economic decline on ordinary Americans exacerbated since October 2023.

The condition worsening with Israel’s demand for more American taxpayer money having already received $$$billions donated in the year-old-warfare besides United States weaponry paid for by American taxpayer amid mainstream Americans dire economic strife.

The COVID19 pandemic had ravenous impact on Israeli citizens consuming far more lives than the 1200 or less Israeli lives in Hamas infiltration facilitated by Israeli authorities collective failure on Israel’s national security ignoring adequate prior warnings from within and outside on impending Hamas attack in October 2023.

Then Israel’s COVID19 related mortality exponentially higher in the second wave of the pandemic.

Israel also had to deal with vaccine associated deaths together with morbidity among young and old age groups of whom many were affected on long term illness and some life long health issues as a result of the bio-engineered deadly pathogen.

Since Israel’s reason for Gaza GENOCIDE is loss of 1200 lives on October 7, 2023 and 120 or more hostages held by Hamas in Hamas infiltration,

In comparison COVID19 pandemic having caused more than 5000% mortality just within a year March 2020 – March 2021 and beyond of 1200 lives died on October 7, 2023.

No doubt, whether one, one hundred or thousand lives – all lives matter in particular to the families and survivors grieving over their loved ones’ premature deaths caused by bio warfare such as the COVID19 pandemic or conventional war and terror including State terrorism produced massive casualties across the spectrum. 

Israel’s retaliation aided and armed by United States Biden –  Harris administration and bi-partisan Congress along with western allies triggering Gaza GENOCIDE of more than 40,000 among whom many were children, infants, women and unarmed civilians – under the guise of self-defense is emulation of Nazi crime quadrupled in the twenty first century against civilians in Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, Iran, Iraq, Yemen… in the region.

The bizarre glorification and celebration in the combat against Hamas, Hezbollah…again predominantly aided by United States taxpayer funded and armed warfare against overwhelming majority American dissent and global anti-war anti-Israeli aggression thus far raise poignant questions to Israeli politics and leadership Benjamin Netanyahu.

Why didn’t nuclear Israel deal with China, United States and EU – the corona virus pioneers, investors, manufacturers and massive profiteers including the fellow Jewish Bill Gates and Melinda Gates, the substantial investors in the virus and vaccine…that did not spare Israeli lives in several thousands since the onset of the pandemic till date in the same manner as Israel’s much touted elimination and eradication of Hamas, Hezbollah and now preoccupied in regime change in Iran by propping the heir of the formerly deposed Shah of Iran?

Interestingly, the Israeli PM rejected the demand from own citizens to step down from office not only on hostage issues, the economy, the subversion of democracy generating political upheaval, the alliance with the most radical political faction to stay in power even declining the proposal from the Israeli incumbent opposition leader Yair Lapid to permanent ceasefire in Gaza and release Israeli hostages while offering complete support in own coalition with PM Netanyahu’s government.

The overreach by Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid was sound going back several months ago that was turned down by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

The decision accepting Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid’s alliance to free hostages and ceasefire in Gaza could have saved hundreds of lives in the war zone and reunited now deceased Israeli hostages with their family. 

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claiming that removing the PM i.e. self, would only add to severity of status quo.

This consideration somehow similarly not  applied by the Israeli PM all around in Gaza, Lebanon and now Iran amidst Israeli PM engagement in regime change in Iran.

Juxtaposed Israel’s brutality against Gaza and now Lebanon as well as across the region over 1200 Israelis who died in Hamas attack on Israel’s watch emerging from Israel controlled occupied entire Palestine especially Israel introduced and appointed Hamas in Gaza.

Does Israel’s indifference to Corona victims in Israel due to then lack of any threat to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s political survival?

The political setback and massive uprising against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for destabilizing democracy by neutralizing Israel’s highest court  – the Supreme Court set to investigate corruption scandal hovering over the Israeli PM.

The situation later ensued following the Israeli Prime Minister upending of democracy. The security lapse inviting Hamas attack. That in return creating unique opportunity to divert national and global attention away from Israel’s domestic turmoil.

The position until now retained by Israeli Prime Minister expanding warfare costing American taxpayers to the point of their poverty and economic plight for many with no end in sight.

The Israeli PM Netanyahu dismissal of Israelis protests over hostage crises many hostages admittedly killed by Israeli air strikes and ground invasions in Gaza per IDF report.

Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu has not even demanded compensation for COVID related Israeli deaths in thousands from China, EU with WHO collusion with China in withholding information on virus transmission, United States funding the SARS COV2 experiment in Wuhan lab, China with no oversight and the vaccine deal in 2015…there are more than enough reasons to pursue these major players culpable and liable in the preventable historic health disaster unleashed on human population.

Yet Israel like the rest of the world remained complacent to COVID mortality on own turf.

Whereas Israel’s wrath over Hamas on 1200 Israeli lives apparently justified in conflating the war across the border in Lebanon transforming what was supposed to be a week or two operation in Gaza on October 8, 2023 into a year long battle in October 2024 entirely financed by United States Harris administration and weaponized by the U.S. and western allies with Germany in the lead.

Israel clearly lost the war in Gaza without being able to free all hostages well and alive alongside sparing the innocent children and infants in Gaza slaughtered in the Genocide with millions now forced into deaths from starvation and malnutrition in the denial of access to humanitarian aid.

Israel’s protracted war funded by United States in the forefront up until now is also responsible for the super inflation experienced in the United States and globally with rising fuel costs as Israel targets Iran’s oil fields and refineries in the unbridled destructive conflict evidently solely for Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu’s own political salvation.

The irony amongst all is the Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu obsequiousness to ultra radical cabinet members ranging from illegal settlers to fanatic ideologues in direct opposition to own citizens demand to end tumultuous longest term in office.

The time and tide inevitably preside over the turn of events against exhausted devastating course.

Incumbent Economy👎

It is not rhetoric, new indictments against opponent nor flowery speeches blaming opponent for everything including sun rising in the east.

The economy bogged down with soaring inflation, exorbitant interest rates on mortgage and business borrowing and income tax strangling anyone with marginal to median or more income from intense hard labor and multiple jobs only to be seized for distribution to whomsoever to garner votes under democrat incumbency with VP Kamala Harris’  liability laden economic policy.

The economy under Biden – Harris administration 2021 – 2024 is déjà vu of 2009 – 2016 depleting ordinary American savings, investments and homeownership.

Update: August 24, 2024.

State Terror

When politics is in endless warfare under the pretext of self-defense, the obvious being war is a convenient shield for such politics evading accountability on long hovering corruption scandal involving own and the next of kin, conveniently dispatched far away to the safest haven – the monetary, military and technology benefactor USA.

Meanwhile touting patriotism on own behalf at home have no problems drafting the other citizens’ young sons and daughters sent harms’ way in the permanent war zone.

Never mind the killings of several thousands of children, infants and their families…all of whom branded terrorists in blanket conviction.

The callousness not even barring denial of food, water, medicine or ambulance services exacerbating their abhorrent conditions over ten months in extension of nearly 75 years of apartheid and colonization tyranny against Gazans and entire Palestinians till date. 

In the midst of prolonging the Genocide of innocent people in Gaza, the aggressor Israel and major ally USA Biden – Harris administration have left own hostages, the premise behind justifying Genocide, the casualties under own barrage of bombing and shelling stalling and stone walling long proposed permanent ceasefire that could have brought hostages home and spared the innocent lives in Gaza.

Politics under Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to save own skin on corruption leads the state of Israel into hostility inflicting death and carnage carried out against children and infants as well as their families in Gaza.

Simultaneously, hold own citizens at home hostage unheeding their call in weekly protests on permanent ceasefire for the safe return of those held hostage, who were largely killed from the air raids and heavy artillery firing provided and funded by Joe Biden and Kamala Harris administration run by Barack Obama with pride. 

In the United States, when the re-election to second term was abysmal in 2012, the incumbent Barack Obama Presidency then in 2012 engaged in hoax operation in Abbottabad in Pakistan claiming to have assassinated long deceased Osama Bin Laden.

Subsequently within three months of that false event went ahead and eliminated the entire NAVY SEAL recruited in that operation to prevent the facts exposure.

The Abbottabad operation NAVY SEAL team families were denied any rights to open independent investigation behind State terror.

The similar show was exhibited by the New Delhi incumbency during 2019 re-election bid adapting same strategy to mitigate personal doom prospects.

The State terror was full blown in this instance. The State manufactured terror launched attacks on own young citizens serving as the national guards around 40 or more defense personnel were targeted and murdered on own turf in Kashmir.

The gruesome attack then paved way for pseudo political gimmick close to national election weeks away under the guise of retaliation in foreign shore viz. Pakistan. It was phrased the controversial Pulwama attack.

In that same 2019 national election in New Delhi, India, the defense force personnel having served twenty four years or more in the most treacherous conditions of the Himalayan terrain as the border security force member upon becoming a whistle blower on the ongoing internal corruption in depriving decent meals for the members of the defense force guarding the nation and citizens, the politics in particular.

The national defense force personnel Tej Bahadur was bullied, harassed by New Delhi national government and political media leading to his only son committing suicide from the relentless State terror.

When former serviceman Tej Bahadur ran in national election as the formidable challenger against the incumbent embattled Indian Prime Minister, the state machinery pulled together the unscrupulous nefarious tactics and debarred the contender Tej Bahadur citing clerical error in the filing of his election nomination paper that was previously approved and found to be in order for the candidacy to run in national election.

All of the above mentioned State terror in Israel, United States, India…the so-called democracies were carried out in exclusive personal and political interests such as evading haunting corruption scandal and political demise.

The hunger for power is unfortunately ravenous amongst those inept in governance and adept in dishonesty, lies and deceit amid ad nauseam cronyism pulling any shenanigans to unlawfully extend term in office costing taxpayer treasure and blood as witnessed and experienced time and time again.

All the more reason to transfer power back to where it originally belongs and funded as taxpayers, members of workforce in the economy, servicemen and women in uniform as national defense force and several others contributing to the nation and society at large.

Unlike those seizing power and indefinitely fleecing on the republic in exploitative abusive even violent politics.

Padmini Arhant 

Update: August 19, 2024.

State Terror is the unparalleled trail blazer in domestic and international terrorism.

Here is the dichotomy – the political mob demands that bullies like them should be respected and even revered amid their beg, borrow and steal legacy continues unabated in the worst trend to fleece on the one they abuse for lifetime. Anything other than that from the target is characterized as whiner again twisted as ‘wine Mom.’

There is an easy solution to this issue – Abusers, opportunists and wannabes – Cease and Desist the deplorable opportunism and exploitation. 

The political mob – Mind your affairs not your target’s personal life including the family. 

The political authority is only limited to efficient governance with focus on reversing deep economic crisis and accounting for people’s money squandered in killing infants, children and families in foreign land.

Besides, the political mob self-enrichment overnight to billionaire status on the backs of hard working economic contributors is to be laid to rest.  This immediate transition would facilitate government to invest the taxpayer dollars in the respective taxpayer life and not misappropriate their tax dollars to political discretion.

The status quo is exacerbating the actual providers – the ordinary taxpayers’ economic condition eventually hurting those responsible completing the full circle in ending from where it began. 

Western so-called democracy intolerance leading to destabilization and toppling of governments via draconian economic sanctions, political unrest and / or military coup d’état is the norm maintained till now against non-western people elected democracy.

Terrorism: Perhaps politics could clarify the following: 

In the Chicken-and-egg quandary – what came first? 

The egg is the obvious to be hatched into chicken. 

Similarly, in the State terror and terrorism within or from outside – the State terror as the global authority at the helm followed by the national authority and the remaining level in the political hierarchy reaching to the bottom are the source for any type of terror emulating the ones with political and fire power. 

The State terror : Far more aggressive, violent and visceral. The crackdown, censorship, cancel culture, invasion and direct intrusion in civilian lives literally in control of their life misusing technology. The other tactics involve depriving the target from own financial means and legitimate income from lawful engagement in investments and employment.

The State terror espouses and promotes abject cronyism alongside retribution to sustain power.

The State terror hopelessly rely on massive propaganda and smear campaign spinning false narratives 24/7 despite knowing the tradition having brought down many before like Adolf Hitler, Idi Amin and allies proving such efforts futile.

The state terror also specializes in perverse actions with eyes, ears glued to the walls and floors of their target, eavesdropping, snooping, spying, intercepting, raiding, hacking, tagging, trolling, stalking, faking and imposing own will among myriad interventions pretty much tracking target’s life to the minutiae in the obsessive behavior as the prerogative.

The State terror through nuance, innuendoes and insinuations using all available delivery formats in communication outlets and the recruits on payroll let the target aware of the State’s invasion of the target’s life.

It ranges from information on the position one sleeps at night – whether on fetus position, left or right leaning, lying on the back or front etc. They go further with the claim on their incredible knowledge about the target’s items in the shower recess in describing soap to color of the loofah.

Even the death row inmate or worst serial killers (though found amongst the State terror writ large) in federal or state penitentiary would have some privacy and protected under individual and civil rights ambit.

Just a subtle reminder to the target on the State terror’s creepy behavior on the scale of their perversions notwithstanding lewd crude routines exercised with immense pride and prejudice as the elected authority to abuse power at will irrespective of domestic or foreign.

Above all, using the taxpayer dollar against the same taxpayer in the weaponization of taxpayer funded agencies such as the income tax, surveillance to avert any potential external and internal threat supposed to protect citizens and nation is subverted and deployed to shield the state authority and functionaries backend corrupt dealings and often alliance with nation’s adversaries and other unsavory elements during and post term in office.

All of these brazen violations from the State terror is justified in the might is right with the emphasis on the decadent culture as the new paradigm of modern democracy or the largest democracy in the world.

The State terror has power and resources at disposal from ammunitions to taxpayer funded branches of government used against targeted citizens to silence voices sharing concern on status quo. 

State terror potent weapon is power granted by the people abused against the people to the core. The trend is common especially against those whom they politically, economically and socially oppress and in many instances religiously as well violating their inalienable individual rights and existence.

The misuse of justice system, law enforcement and other law and order apparatus are rampant against political opponents, non-violent dissenters, peace and environment activists aa well as any voice of reason and rationality are the primary targets for State terror in any political system in disguise or blatant. 

The horrendous crime in state terror besides massive corruption, criminality and treason more often is the self-granted license to kill unarmed innocent civilians, the defense force personnel, national guards or navy SEAL…are also a fair game in the hoax operations for political advantage by pulling the trigger and / or via drones and other arsenal not excluding manufactured terror that are within reach for the state / national authority.

The crimes committed are not even recognized as a crime for they are deemed legitimate and the license to kill anyone. The law abiding taxpayers and those perceived politically and personally inconvenient in particular are pursued with no end.

Regardless of the authority’s violations publicly known or not, the violators behind state terror in any and all of the above enunciated details are granted political immunity for life with taxpayer funded privileges and benefits intact. 

In the front and backdrop of the State terror, the politics generated political disenfranchisement of any segments and demography based on race, religion social and economic class, isolation and alienation within society denied any rights in sheer discriminatory practice… such factors contribute militancy, radicalism, ideological assertion, supremacy, religious fundamentalism evolved into fanaticism and culmination of these solidified as terrorism. 

The State terror is the foundation for other types of fringe and coordinated terror in opposition to State terror.

Needless to say, terrorism in any genre and origin is condemnable and terror manifestation in any form or type has no place in civilized society. 

Importantly, western globalists comprising oligarchs from key industries, tech sector and super wealthy incognito from Rothschild to George Soros, Bill Gates…controlled economic and political system on one side.

Simultaneously, media owner Rupert Murdoch and alike in communication along with power hogs in politics operating in tandem as the shadow power orchestrating turbulence and turmoil across the globe not even sparing own turf such as the United States is the new normal.

The conglomerate is essentially against the republic status. The pledge of allegiance to the shadow power is critical for approval to head governments in the more opaque political system shunning scrutiny and accountability.

The evasiveness is explicit in dodging and declining public press conference. 

Terrorism and terror outfits are the progeny of State terror unleashed within society or in territories near and far through illegal invasion, occupation, colonization and gross human rights violation lasting over decades exerting hegemony in regional and global dominance. 

Nothing happens without cause and effect creating abnormal volatile conditions entirely for political gains, economic interests and strategic domination.  

Accordingly, State terror is to be quelled allowing constitutional based democracy to function providing peace, progress and prosperity from merit and skills oriented fair opportunity across the spectrum.

In foreign affairs, recognition of independent statehood, human rights, individual liberty, sovereignty, territorial integrity with free flow of economic activities barring unilateral embargo or selective bias in UNSC decisions are pertinent for pervasive peace and security.

The incumbent VP, the unelected nominee democrat Presidential candidate Kamala Emhoff Harris having funded, fueled and favored Gaza Genocide together with severe humanitarian crisis in Gaza and the rest of Palestine all along until now, portraying a different image as anti-war proponent with ultimatum to Israel etc., a stance and image stolen and never belong to the puppet and proxy candidacy Kamala Emhoff Harris that is now used for political expediency.

Having publicly shared to support the Jewish partner Douglas Emhoff on Israel’s right to self-defense, Kamala Emhoff Harris multi-polar syndrome further expose the unelected and unelectable candidacy duplicity.

To: Kamala Emhoff Harris

Never use the victims and their horrendous misery that you caused them as co-partner i.e. the incumbent VP and active pro-Gaza GENOCIDE cohort in war- mongering and funding arming the Gaza war till date.

It is the worst sin you could commit for pseudo power, fame and fortune.

Not to mention, the election gimmick as anti-war and call for ceasefire having authorized the Genocide of more than 50,00 victims – among whom majority are infants and children together with their families in Gaza,

You, Kamala Emhoff Harris as the incumbent VP and a proud pro-war activist all along till date are directly responsible for leaving nearly 2 million Gazan refugees without food, water and medicine in the brutal war zone that you voted for as the President of the United States Senate that could have been averted with a Nay vote. However, you were hook line and sinker in escalating the Gaza war into protracted regional conflict.

Your administration that you are very much part of and you publicly defended your war mongering and your administration’s several UNSC vetoes on Gaza ceasefire will not go away.

One could try and run away from one’s Karma but can never escape from the karmic effects of one’s crimes in blatant denial.

Chameleon changing color never makes a chameleon anything other than what it is and its true colors. 

Despite overwhelming revelations, the Gen Z (18-24)-year-old mocked by the presumptuous unelectable Presidential candidacy Kamala Emhoff Harris.

Regardless of 2024 United States Presidential outcome;

The hard facts on EU and Israel – the United States so-called allies since their creation draining hard working American families tax dollars for respective political agenda under the guise of security against Russia for EU and the entire Middle East region for Israel is no longer economically affordable for ordinary taxpayers via endless money printing by the USA monetary authority.

The flawed monetary policy behind skyrocketed inflation and exorbitant interest rates having brought American middle class and lower income families to grueling economic strife is a grim actuality.

As usual, politics evading responsibility on own egregious decisions and failed policies unintelligently hold food and grocery retailers and wholesalers responsible for inflation.

The response is similar to the incumbent administration earlier claim against retail gas stations nationwide accused of price gouging at the onset of Ukraine war in February 2022 triggering global energy crisis.

Meanwhile, the incumbent Biden – Harris administration together with the United States legislative branch on both sides of the aisle ignore their active involvement in funding and fueling warfare that has been consuming fuel and money in fighting two frontal full blown wars in Ukraine and Gaza since February 2022 until now August 2024.

The current administration VP and the unelected Presidential candidacy propped up by plutocrats and party establishment accusing local businesses in the economy for inflation clarify politics’ out-of-touch with reality on all issues.

United States’ rising inflation and unaffordable interest rates on business borrowing and home owners’ mortgage are primarily due to government spending in warfare and unaccounted budget for political interests.

EU and Israel touted as the advanced western economies can easily afford spending on their security matter without the American taxpayers’ mandatory spending via multi-billion $$$ in aid to Israel as customary practice.

On the other side, United States taxpayers subsidized NATO commitment to affluent EU with Germany alone, ranked the third largest  economy in the world, only next to China and the United States, is in a comfortable economic status to pay fair share in protecting own security and that of EU member states in the region.

Taking these factors into account, there is no surprise on the latest EU intervention in the United States Presidential election issuing warnings against candidacy unwilling to maintain status quo on NATO disproportionate funding burdened on American taxpayers on the wealthy EU’s behalf.

The so-called allies EU and Israel can easily pay for their never ending warfare if there is no desire for permanent peace from either and both to end Ukraine war and the war in Gaza conflated into regional conflict.

It always boils down to the ones footing the extraordinary expense on military extravaganzas with the actual stake holders in the contemporary war games EU and Israel absolved of significant economic liability thus far.

Such economic resignation is largely premised on the USA’s toiling ordinary workers and families forced into being benefactors and used as the ATM machines when the corrupt media surrogate like the FOX network oligarch, the anti-democratic Rupert Murdoch owned The Wall Street Journal targeting the one and only nemesis i.e. me with such baseless accusation expressed in the extreme violent outrage and condemnable outpouring misogyny hatred much to own individual and collective peril.

Notwithstanding imminent apocalypse awaiting such reckless diatribe from those enraged for speaking the TRUTH. 

All said and done, the indomitable fact is that Israel’s security and stability is rooted in the establishment of independent free Palestine with existing internationally recognized and approved Palestinian statehood barring any illegal invasion, occupation, colonization and any form of control by the State of Israel.

Additionally, the formal acknowledgment of Independent Palestine as one among sovereign states of the global community in the United Nations General Assembly with all privileges that are extended to any other UN members and exercised as the sovereign entity of the international body is imperative for the regional and global peace and security.

The re-construction of Gaza and Palestinian lives destroyed in the last ten-months-old warfare and preceding the conflict in the denial of any individual rights and independence to Palestinians lasting more than seven decades until now is fundamental for peaceful co-existence in the region.

The aggression and violence inflicted in Gaza war against civilian population much to global condemnation has further exacerbated the situation with the protracted warfare as the ongoing alternative rejecting permanent ceasefire.

Ending the wars in Ukraine and Gaza with peaceful settlements are the sane solutions to economic recovery for United States.

EU and Israel’s security also tied to conclusion of warfare with sincere and meaningful peace resolutions.

Indian Democracy is Mobocracy and Kleptocracy

Indian Democracy is Mobocracy and Kleptocracy 

Padmini Arhant

Indian democracy is mobocracy and kleptocracy with political opposition systematically eliminated by New Delhi regime.

The head of the regime’s background speaks volume and serve as evidence that violence begets violence.

In the absence of positive performance, the regime survival heavily rely on media cohorts’ and own political party propaganda. The external foreign role promoting despotism and dictatorial exertion via pseudo glorification to upend democracy cannot be ruled out in particular slighting the regime’s glaring violations on human rights, corruption and criminal legacy.

The regime’s political strategy is bribes with illegal money and lofty positions in cabinet, bureaucracy and legislative assembly especially the upper house – Rajya Sabha membership offered to media house like Zee Soap Opera and WION youtube channel proprietor Subash Chandra Goenks. As s result fake news and indoctrination continues unabated in appeasement politics quid pro quo. The opposition members are lured with such offers as well to jump ship making mockery of democracy.

The bribery through Rajya Sabha upper house entry is also reserved for the Indian Supreme Court Chief Justice as witnessed in the former CJS Ranjan Gogoi rewarded for key decisions favoring the New Delhi regime on major scandals like Rafale defense contract corruption and on communal issues siding with RSS and BJP’s militant Hindutvs ideology in the controversial Ayodhya and Babri Masjjd matter.

Having dismantled the constitutional framework and autonomy of most Indian institutions including the latest assault on Indian Defense Force institutional character, tradition and discipline, the regime’s ravenous appetite for power exemplified in unilateral decisions like demonetization debacle, haphazard GST rule etc., drowning the economy in cyclical crises with fudged and forged data on GDP, unemployment figures and overall ailing economy are merely the tip of the iceberg.

The farmers’ protests were ignored adopting violent means to curtail peaceful rallies for over two to three years until recently the inevitable outcome forced the withdrawal of the regime’s anti-agrarian and pro-oligarchy policy.

The regime’s latest stunt on the defense recruitment restructuring sparking anger, frustrations and violent eruption (taken from the RSS and BJP play book) among economically crippled rural and urban youth is perceived as authoritarian backlash on the defeat in the farmers’s bill forfeiture. The connectivity is the defense force aspirants are predominantly and vastly from rural areas as farmers’ sons and daughters and the remaining percentage belong to the poor economic background.

The RSS run BJP governance with the Prime Minister, Home Minister and regional chief minister in Uttar Pradesh hand picked by the Prime Minister along with several members in Parliament including the individual  convicted of terrorism involving bomb blasts against the demography designated as outcasts such as the so-called backward class (BC), other backward class (OBC), Dalits, scheduled caste and scheduled tribe among diverse caste segregation and denominations,

The commonality beginning at the top i.e. the Prime Minister, Home Minister at the center along with  Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister, Karnataka and many BJP governments preach and practice hatred, prejudice and violence.

The situation is buttressed with the state represented print, television and social media ever at regime’s disposal to spin and sensationalize communal politics and cover up government’s scandalous repertoire.

Kashmir Valley is the Xinjiang of India with the conditions exacerbated for rehabilitation of Hindu and other minorities in the territory.

The inflammable toxic political and social  environment combined with debilitating economic status nationwide is cheered and celebrated as the Prime Minister’s charisma again not without endorsement from conspicuous quarters overseas exclusively for vested interests fueling anti-democratic and anti-unity agenda in South Asia.

Last but not the least, the regime’s routine topple of opposition state governments via horse trading using print black money is yet another factor for unsustainable rising inflation.

The overture accompanied by intimidations using false charges, income tax raids and other nefarious tactics misusing public funded police force against abducted political opposition members for personal and regime goals is the last straw in abuse of power.

The boiling point exceeded into overflow in corruption, criminality and absolute destruction of everything such as institutions, judiciary, economic sector, political opposition, religions and social fabric…is the epitome of democracy in peril.

United States – Soaring Inflation

United States – Soaring Inflation

Padmini Arhant

The soaring inflation beginning with gas price at $7.00 and higher having domino effects on food and other essential goods and services is a burgeoning issue for people living with pay check to paycheck and those with meager savings in the economy.

There appears to be no immediate relief in easing skyrocketing inflation hurting consumer base again directly affecting business sectors in the economy.

The federal reserve inflationary control measures and government economic policy if at all any are yet to deliver necessary correction in inflation reminiscent of 70’s energy crisis leading to severe economic downturn.

The war in Ukraine brought upon Ukrainians from the western viz. United States and EU insurrection against then democratically elected government in 2014 is the result of deaths and devastation in the battle ground combined with nuclear threat from Russia.

The energy crises resulting from the ongoing war in Ukraine and further hindrances in food supply viz. wheat, soy, sugar etc. from Ukraine and Russia to other parts of the world have dramatic impact on the domestic and global economy.

Meanwhile, the global demand on crude oil now largely resting on the oil producing nations in the Middle East and others like Venezuela with sanctions on Russian energy imports only applicable to non-western nations is nothing new.

The Russian energy flow into western Europe such as Germany, Austria and Finland to name a few besides EU and NATO ally Hungary having categorically rejected the sanctions protocol claiming similar  scenario on meeting domestic requirements as priority are not only double standards but also reflect paradoxical western position in funding the Ukrainian invasion.

Amid these contradictory rules and activities, the energy price at the gas stations are record high in history taking toll on average and middle class already enduring economic pain from COVID and at present forced to contend with excruciating inflation in the absence of positive economic trend.

The market reaction and performance lately with Dow Jones dropping 700 points along with S&P 500 and NASDAQ precipitous slide are clearly indicative of inflation and lack of prudent economic solutions behind the present serious nonetheless preventable decline.

There is an urgent requirement for pragmatic and economically viable interjections to contain rising inflation in conjunction with diversifying energy resources improving and increasing energy distribution for affordability across the economy.

Unfortunately, there are no information or strategies made publicly known from the relevant monetary and fiscal authorities to ease growing concerns and frustration among consumers dealing with extraordinary economic struggles since COVID related shutdown and ongoing inflation debacle.

Obviously, the critical topics are inflation and energy price that are interlinked with a strangle hold on people especially in the middle and lower income groups deprived of any options in the economic strife leaving the poor and the poorest status abysmal.

What is the government plan of action on surging inflation?

What are the remedies pursued by the federal reserve other than interest rates hike with stagflation projected in the global economy?

What are the immediate possibilities to calm the inflation storm, energy costs, boost employment  opportunities, stabilize economic conditions across the spectrum and last but not the least soothe investor apprehensions in the volatile economic climate?

The Ukraine war must end with Russia’s divestment in economy over expansionism via military aggression exceeding 100 days in Ukraine. The only guaranteed outcome benefitting both sides i.e. Russia and Ukraine is permanent ceasefire and peaceful dispute settlement on all matter. The military engagement is proved counterproductive and exacerbated resources, morale and human lives with irreversible tragedy.

The western foreign policy engineered towards diplomacy and dialogue in ending Ukraine war is pertinent to global peace, security and economic recovery.

The economic factors such as inflation and energy rates at the gas pump are the burning issues for ordinary men and women representing the work force, consumers and tax payers in the economy worldwide.

Suffice to say those behind gain of function research triggering the global pandemic and big pharma have enormously profiteered from COVID disaster.

The defense sector viz. the military industrial complex and western governments on their part supplying weapons to Ukraine while procuring energy from Russia have secured multi-billions in arms trade to Ukraine having destabilized the once relatively peaceful country in 2014.

Let there be no more time wasted in cliché on Hollywood fame defamation trial and Jan 6, 2021 fiasco. The late night show hosts paid millions of dollars as propagandists with pre-recorded captive audience fake applause and social media attempts to deflect public attention with platitudes and parody are imposed as entertainment.

Meanwhile, there are no investigations or discussion on western violent intrusion overthrowing democratic power in Ukraine in 2014 and recently ejecting Pakistan’s government under former Prime Minister Imran Khan causing political chaos and further economic derailment in that part of the world.

The stark reality – the people survival is challenging more than ever deserving long overdue focus and respite from the deteriorating situation.

Is Poverty Inherited or Imposed?

Imposed?

Is Poverty Inherited or Imposed?

There are different perceptions on poverty.

Poverty is often associated with social and economic background.

However, the question arise on generational poverty.

Why do some demography in society experience no social and economic progress over generations?

Who is to blame for the impoverishment of children dwelling in slums and shanty towns right beneath skyscrapers or high rise penthouse towers in metropolis of the world?

What causes many segments in society to remain poor, sick and hopeless in life?

Could this all be entirely the fault of individual, the family or the community they belong to leaving them in abject poverty with no changes in financial status?

Or

Would it be fair to hold the political, economic and social systems responsible for endless misery among overwhelming population in the world?

What about the government and economic sector role or the lack thereof to alleviate poverty across the spectrum rather than selective population?

Should education, basic facilities like clean drinking water, food, electricity and health care centers be reaching the poorest of the poor in urban, rural and remote areas of the country worldwide?

Who should decide the fate of every citizen in a country that are generationally oppressed, persecuted and denied any rights over several decades?

Is the poor remaining poor and the middle class struggling to make ends meet regardless of two or three income providers in a family related to government failure on economic management like inflation, unemployment, food shortages, fuel prices…and gross negligence in addressing crises in country?

What about the notion – poverty and economic suffering are designed for exploitation of the economically disadvantaged to serve in the work force as employees, national army though increasingly utilized as political leaderships’ private army witnessed in foreign military interventions and above all meeting exclusive and fiduciary interests of those reining control from behind the scenes and upfront.

First and foremost, corruption and greed are the bedrock of evil in society and the world at large.

Systemic corruption in politics with pervasive impact on economy, communication media, education, social, religious and general society hinder growth and development across the regions of state and nation.

Lawlessness among those held above law in politics, economy, diverse media, social and religious domains shun transparency and accountability.

Wars with illegal invasion and occupation of sovereign nations directly related to inflicting poverty and social destruction leaving families with widows, orphaned children, permanently disabled father, brother or any earning members wounded and crippled for life in warfare. All of these situations lead to severe poverty and miserable economic conditions.

Last but not the least, selective powerful, influential and affluent members control over global affairs lacking in scrutiny and openness barring public access to information on policy, strategy and planning contribute to secrecy and hypocrisy.

The hypocrisy arising from the unlawful spying, snooping, 24/7 surveillance of private citizens life, space and privacy intrusion to name a few among many criminal indulgence, while collusion in secret locations restricting citizen press or public to participate in policy making on world issues and humanity at large is entitlement to them.

The worst is despite these members’ occupation of taxpayers expended accommodation which are typically the people’s house unlike the private citizen’s home fraudulently claimed as such, the public as taxpayers have to deal with the wrath of violence even leading to fatality when gunned down with 29 or more bullets exhausting the magazine on unarmed civilian in the alleged trespassing of the public funded national property i.e. government residence.

Accordingly, poverty is imposed and not always inherited over generations to maintain status quo.

Defeating corruption, abandoning discreet operations using taxpayers money and subjecting illegal activities and actions to the same rule of law is the initial step towards economic relief amongst population subjugated in extreme poverty.

Russia – Western Edifice

Russia – Western Edifice

Padmini Arhant

The recent exit of Pakistan’s Prime Minister Imran Khan was largely associated by the subject as western conspiracy behind his incomplete term in office,  though the development is not unique in Pakistan’s politics.

The outgoing Prime Minister of Pakistan, Imran Khan also publicly stated during the rally and address to his nation that the former administration was chided by western represented emissary viz. EU and the United States for the ex- Prime Minister’s visit to Moscow at the onset of Russian invasion of Ukraine.

The former Prime Minister Imran Khan drew parallel in this context by citing the next door neighbor and adversary India’s relation with Russia. The former Prime Minister Imran Khan reiterated that economic ties between India and Russia in energy and defense procurement continued slighting western sanctions against Russia.

The former Prime Minister Imran Khan also expressed disappointment and noted western discriminatory practice against his administration in particular reference to the Moscow trip on the eve of Russian invasion of Ukraine which the ex-Prime Minister and his former cabinet colleagues like the ex-foreign minister Shah Mahmood Quereshi said was pre-arranged diplomatic tour long before the Ukraine war.

All said and done – here are the glaring dichotomy in the entire international foreign policy.

First of all, the former Prime Minister Imran Khan’s anti-western anguish doesn’t quite fit into the backdrop of the cricket sports star who has been promoted with extravagant publicity from the United States ally Britain with enthusiastic support from Israel.

The cricket sportsman turned politician Imran khan has overwhelmingly enjoyed special favorable coverage from London all along with national media like BBC including Fleet Street fawning over the cricketer never having enough of Mr. Khan’s profile extending beyond the running commentary of first class cricket test match and international series.  Although the cricketer Imran Khan led the Pakistan cricket team as the captain and not England with the latter even defeated in the final world cup tournament in 1992 at Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia with Pakistan winning the world cup that year.

As for Israel’s affinity towards Mr. Imran Khan, the sentiment is largely related to Mr.Khan’s former wife Jemima Goldsmith, the British citizen of Jewish descent and wealthy background.

The anti-west turn around from the former Prime Minister Imran Khan prior to political turmoil was conspicuously to appease China. Pakistan’s largest creditor and investor China, especially in the complex CPEC – China Pakistan Economic Corridor in Pakistan’s gwadar port is ongoing strenuous undertaking.

On the other hand, Pakistan and Russia relations basically developed following United States and NATO failure in neighboring Afghanistan which in fact is interesting considering Pakistan’s close ties with United States in the aftermath of former Soviet Union’s defeat in Afghanistan earlier. The partners were reversed as situation changed in the two Islamic states.

Russia and Pakistan conducted first joint military exercise in 2016 much to New Delhi’s angst and concern. The relation between the two countries further advanced into arms sales and military training of Pakistan soldiers by Russia in August 2018 and later in 2020 which happens to be during former Prime Minister Imran Khan’s term in office.

It is fair to say Russian defense strategy in the Indian sub-continent pivoted towards Pakistan as Moscow noted New Delhi drawn closer towards United States mostly to attract India with defense procurement from the U.S. despite India until now remains the largest buyer of defense hardware from Russia.

There is a shift in partnering in the Indian sub-continent with Moscow wooing Islamabad to convey New Delhi on Moscow’s discomfort regarding India’s intimacy with the United States in defense as well as other strategic alliance such as Quad in the Indo-Pacific.

While this is going on in South Asia, the European and Russian relation beckons focus.

The Austrian Chancellor Karl Nehammer visit to Russia on April 12, 2022 after direct meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin were described by Russian academia and scholars as follows.

“The Austrians stick to more balanced approaches than even the Germans, claiming the role of a global mediator and a negotiating platform. This is why, despite being an EU member, they refused to provide weapons to Ukraine,” Associate Professor with the Department of International Relations, Political Science and Foreign Area Studies at the Russian State University for the Humanities Vadim Trukhachev stated.”

“Austria opposes an oil and gas embargo on Moscow. Vienna depends a lot on Russia in terms of energy. Austria used to be a big advocate of Nord Stream 2. And now, they keep stressing that although they support EU sanctions, their national interests should not suffer. Those interests particularly include Russian gas supplies,” Vladimir Schweitzer, Head of the Department for Social and Political Studies at the Russian Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Europe noted.”

The major economic power in EU – Germany signed contract with Russia for gas pipeline Nord Stream 1 in 2011 and Nord Steam 2 pipeline back in 2012 during the former German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s term in office.

The five large stake holders in the Nord Stream energy pipeline project are – “Shareholders of the company are the Russian gas company Gazprom (51% of shares), German companies Wintershall Dea and PEG Infrastruktur AG (E. ON) (both 15.5%), the Dutch gas company Gasunie (9%), and the French gas company Engie (9%).

OMV, about 32% of which is owned by the Austrian state, has put around 730 million euros ($813.95 million) into Nord Stream 2. The other financial investors in Nord Stream 2 are Shell (SHEL. L), France’s Engie and Germany’s Uniper (UN01.DE) and Wintershall DEA (WINT. UL)” Feb 27, 2022.

According to International Energy Agency – IEA .org

“In 2021, the European Union imported 155 billion cubic metres of natural gas from Russia, accounting for around 45% of EU gas imports and close to 40% of its total gas consumption. Nobody is under any illusions anymore. Russia’s use of its natural gas resources as an economic and political weapon show Europe needs to act quickly…said IEA Executive Director Fatih Birol.” – IEA Press Release – March 3, 2022.”

International news agency : “The Hungarian government opposes a ban on Russian energy supplies and will continue to defend its position at meetings of the European Union, the country’s Foreign Ministry, Peter Szijjarto said on Monday. He was taking part in a meeting of EU foreign ministers in Luxembourg.”

It is abundantly clear from the international reports and western European energy companies stakes in Russian energy production – Nord stream 1 & 2 pipeline projects, the energy inter-dependency between Russia and EU as supplier and consumer respectively continued till date amid ongoing war in Ukraine with EU members like Austria and NATO ally Hungary defending their stance on anti-sanctions against Russian oil & energy.

Juxtaposed Pakistan’s former Prime Minister Imran Khan’s similar position on the Moscow trip and energy deals with Moscow emphasized in Pakistan’s national interest unfortunately resulted in the Pakistan former Prime Minister Imran Khan’s ouster from power. 

The ousted Prime Minister Imran Khan’s ties with Moscow synonymous to EU counterparts like Austria, Germany, Hungary and others in Western as well as eastern Europe were treated differently causing political change in the islamic state in South Asia.

Yet another contradiction among EU members is while they remain Russian energy importers quoting national requirement, their supply of arms to Ukraine from some EU states is quoted as aiding Ukraine to defend democracy. Notwithstanding they are financing Russian invasion of Ukraine via energy consumption.

Russia on its part positioned as anti-west and anti-NATO apparently has no problem in supplying energy products to any and all of them maintaining cash flow from economic activities with them amidst bombing and shelling Ukraine for over two months now.

In effect, both EU and Russia fearing security threats from each other in the region fail to realize their symmetrical role in the energy deals contributing to Russian financial resources on the one side and Russia enabling NATO military capability with Russian exported energy on the other end. There is no recognition from either in terms of self-generated security reality.

Ukraine in the middle of this predicament expected to be neutral, bare arms and bear the brunt of nuclear Russia and EU convenient economic policy.

In the whole gamut, the Ukrainian civilians are paying the price with their lives and property destroyed in Russian heavy artillery hitting every possible standing structure in Ukrainian cities and coastal towns of the once beautiful country.

Meanwhile, the western edifice is justified as necessity prioritizing economic interests over own security considering the spill over effects already experienced with Ukrainian refugees forced to flee their homeland to neighboring Poland, Hungary and Moldova…

Above all the possibility of prolonged war in Ukraine becoming the protracted battle across Europe cannot be ruled out with the status quo.

Unwise to fuel the fire for it might sooner than later engulf the entire zone.

Had EU then respected Ukraine’s economic relations with Russia in 2014 and refrained from cooperation with United States violent insurrection overthrowing Ukraine’s democratically elected incumbent government of President Viktor Yanukovich in 2014 over Kiev and Moscow economic treaty, the situation could have been economically beneficial and politically peaceful for Ukraine and eastern Europe unlike the present time.

Not to mention, the western dogma – what is good for the goose not appropriate for the gander.

Ukraine Conflict – World Food Crisis

Ukraine Conflict

World Food Crisis

Padmini Arhant

The Russian invasion of Ukraine and ongoing conflict has been catastrophic not only for Ukrainian citizens but also for the rest of the world.

The food crisis is upon the world population with wheat production and exports from Russia and Ukraine to global regions drastically affected since Russian military intervention in Ukraine. 

The population survival impact Russia as well. The economic repercussions outweigh any military and political goals in the war against Ukraine.

All the more reason for Russian Federation and Russian President Vladimir Putin to ceasefire in entirety ending aerial strikes, missiles, rockets and air raids besides naval and ground activities in and around Ukraine. 

The immediate and urgent requirement is for Russia and Ukraine to resume peace talks with a sincere commitment to resolve the conflict peacefully through dialogue and discourse abandoning the current aggression and violence.

According to International report-

Nezavisimaya Gazeta: One fifth of world’s population about to face food crisis

“The global food price index has reached historic highs as wheat prices rose by 20% in March. According to the United Nations’ estimates, the Ukrainian conflict is putting 1.7 bln people around the world at risk of hunger, Nezavisimaya Gazeta writes.

“Russia is one of the major wheat exporters, accounting for about five percent of the world’s total. The special operation has sent wheat prices soaring to record highs.

Forecasts say that Ukraine’s wheat exports will halve, so the market is going to face a shortage of 9.5 million tonnes of wheat. Besides, countries may fail to receive wheat from Russia because of delivery and payment issues stemming from political reasons. Certain countries are extremely likely to face starvation.”

The overall food crisis is creating risks for Russia as well, said TeleTrade Chief Analyst Mark Goikhman. Logistics disruptions may bring down Russia’s crop exports, and accordingly, the revenues of farmers and the country’s budget will drop.

“Russia is unlikely to face food shortages but food prices may continue to rise,” Leading Analyst at Otkritie Investment Oleg Syrovatkin emphasized.”

United States – Rising Inflation

United States – Rising Inflation 

Padmini Arhant

The great reset from World Economic Forum, Davos, Switzerland and COVID-19 induced global economy shut down in 2020 extended into mid 2021 cost lives and livelihoods across the spectrum.  The federal and certain states stimulus checks to alleviate dire financial difficulties among vast majority of population in the United States might have provided some relief but did not end economic plight. 

The retail industry together with millions of small and medium size businesses paid enormous price in the pandemic year despite economic assistance to some in the form of paycheck protection program to retain employees on payroll and other small business loans to survive the lockdown period. 

The current inflation is reflected in essential consumer goods and services posing a major challenge for average citizens in the absence of necessary economic growth. The job market is yet to project reasonable employment status that guarantees steady and stable household income. Amid grim economic situation, the all time high inflation is a serious concern for citizens with minimal or no income. 

The Federal Reserve intervention adjusting the prime rate on interest and other borrowings to curb inflation might be standard response. Following the federal reserve course in this regard, the impact on the housing market would not be entirely favorable to first home buyers or homeowners planning to sell or refinance upon interest rates hikes to correct rising inflation.

The balancing act weighs heavily on the Federal Reserve monetary policy and government’s fiscal policy to control inflation. 

United States Congress multi trillion dollar spending on infrastructure and social welfare bills arguably to stimulate economy with job creation and consumer spending underestimate underlying repercussions in exceeding limits especially the customary debt ceiling raised under every administration to circumvent explosive budget deficit. 

The luxury of printing money for various purposes in the wish list is a privilege not necessarily a game changer in delivering the desirable outcome. The fact of the matter is at the end of the day the economic ramifications adversely affect average citizens saddled with generational debt beyond recourse. The national debts in return burden the economy attracting bidders in the global market to leverage positions in many aspects.

The Congressional spending strategy deviating from prudent economic stimuli signal precarious conditions beginning with inflation and diminishing consumer power. The employment figures remaining lower than the expected margin and economic activities not fully resumed in the declining pandemic, the inflation impetus corrective measures to avert major economic crises. 

United States Congress and Federal Reserve combined efforts to stymie inflation represents the priority prior to any other economic endeavors in the multi-trillion dollar spending proposals pending bipartisan approval. 

The tax relief to businesses facilitating hiring, expansion and development are key factors in stimulating economic progress rather than the contrary that invariably drives major corporations offshore viz. China or other destinations. Similarly, small businesses and retail industry in the aftermath of prolonged economic shut down have no means of revival. The tax incentives to this sector is appropriate and urgently required for renewal. 

The government spending downsizing federal agencies and other areas of sprawling activities yielding no benefits wasting tax dollars are to be focused in containing expenditure. 

The staggering national budget deficit with phenomenal government undertakings in the backdrop of printing money is not healthy for the dollar as international reserve currency confronted with alternatives in the global economy. 

In conclusion, inflation drains common citizens wallet and depletes economy leading to banana republic experienced in many parts of the world. The monetary and fiscal authorities immediate actions to stabilize economy and escalating inflation is the preliminary step towards economic recovery.

Thank you.
