United States – The Unbridled Power
May 4, 2015
By Padmini Arhant
The incidents involving the law enforcement agency i.e. the police force and civilians deserve attention and appropriate actions for citizens’ protection.
In any civil society, the police are expected to provide safety and prevent intentional harm to members in community.
Unfortunately, the latest events are marred with police aggression towards unarmed citizens – the African American youths in particular continue to die during arrests and while in police custody.
The policy targeting specific demography and individuals of different ethnic background constitutes prejudice and such isolation is a serious setback for any nation poised as democracy.
Mankind achievements in various fields are significant.
However, in human relations there is reverse trend with prevalent discriminatory practices based on race, religion, gender, social and economic status reflecting civilization decline.
The civil rights are inalienable for all human beings regardless of perceptions and precedence in the country.
Human character is defined by values demonstrated through respect, understanding and love promoting peaceful co-existence.
Social and economic disparity emanating from dysfunctional and unscrupulous political system leads to inequality and injustice.
Those in position of authority care less about the burgeoning issues concerning certain groups and ignore national ramifications from inaction.
The taxpayers funded public services including the police department misuse of power confirms political immunity to crimes against humanity.
Although unemployment resulting in poverty is a common woe, the African American families are confronted with higher joblessness and less opportunity.
The civil rights movement generated affirmative action may have benefited many and enabled realization of the American dream.
Nonetheless the African American plight is far from over.
There is no doubt that uplifting the marginalized segments is a collective task for the nation. National goals to extend fairness and equality to all without reservations would exemplify genuine progress.
Similarly those at the helm of successful empire in television, entertainment and sports industry besides the powerful entities in politics, judiciary and academia within African American race bear responsibility to redress African American struggles and could improve social and economic conditions for the African American people.
On the topic of unlawful detentions, frisking and racial profiling that are regular and aimed at category of people especially the African American younger generation could not be slighted in the face of deaths occurring in the encounter with police.
Notwithstanding tactics deployed to disperse non-violent protests like Occupy Wall Street or people assembly to express dissent at NATO summit is reprehensible. The hardline approach unleashing excess use of force against citizens not in possession of weapons or posing threat to the armed aggressor in uniform is authoritarianism in display.
The controversy surrounding the prison industrial complex could no longer be evaded with juvenile and adult prisoners paying the price and lives wasted away due to the strategy apprehending vulnerable individuals falling victims to predators complicit in the operation.
The concept presumed innocent until proven guilty is inversely applied on many instances in the contemporary judicial hearing contributing to incarceration of the innocent and facilitating perjury in the process.
There is an urgent requirement for review and remedy in the judicial procedures to restore credibility.
The police brutality on the street and prison guard abuse of inmates in captivity is lawlessness dominant in the law enforcement environment.
The irony is the lawmakers are the lawbreakers and remain undeterred in the absence of accountability.
Baltimore rallies in the wake of African American Freddie Gray death from police ill treatment and subsequent riots in the city and outskirts clarify violence begets violence and do not serve the purpose to end prerogative killing.
Likewise the unruly conduct destroying properties and business outlets of merchants at the mall and attacks on the police in the aftermath of Freddie Gray suffering and several before is regrettable and undermines the real cause.
The pursuit of justice premised on destructive means is counterproductive.
In contradiction, the privileged class granted impunity on criminality. They are never subject to investigation let alone prosecution prolonging the tradition.
The human rights violation distinctive in the refusal to shut down Guantanamo Bay prison and indictments of citizens denied the rights to prove innocence conclusively attributed to unbridled power corrupting the gamut.
United States could be the land of justice upon transcending identity and stature.
National strength and prosperity is in harmony adopting the constructive course.
Life matters – Black, brown or white despite the commonality of the blood color being red.
All are created equal and none are exempt from final judgment.
Peace to all!
Thank you.

Political Strategy: Comedy in Tragedy
February 22, 2015
By Padmini Arhant
Hegemony create and breed despotism evident in the past and present events forming the basis for intervention in those nations whether Iraq, Libya, Egypt and elsewhere.
The former heads of the state Saddam Hussein, Muammar Gaddafi and Hosni Mubarak in Iraq, Libya and Egypt were groomed by hegemony with financial support, supply of chemical and biological weapons and maintained ties promoting human rights violation in the respective nations for permanent dominance over the population in the Middle East and North Africa.
Hegemony latest strategy is producing imposters in the futile attempts to discredit genuine entity and sacred mission. The tactics deployed in the process continue to backfire stupefying the source and operatives with self-defeating outcome.
The recent political debacle for hegemony prodded ally Indian Prime Minister Narinder Modi in the capital New Delhi assembly poll has prompted the conceding leader to seek mass attention resulting in contradictory position.
Politics spare none including religion and charity. The auction on Prime Minister Narinder Modi’s monogrammed suit apparently sold for Indian Rupees 4.31 crore i.e. 43 million rupees equivalent to approximately US$ 693,048 is the price tag on the owner.
Obviously the bidding was not on the suit instead the bearer of the clothing article.
Politics controlled press and communication media propagating auctioning for charity fail to recognize the facts revealed in such activity.
Having lost miserably in the mid-term New Delhi election preceded by similar setbacks in other Indian states that are conveniently missing in hegemony and domestic media reporting, the desperate measure to elevate proxy government represented by Prime Minister Narinder Modi in New Delhi demonstrates comedy in the tragedy.
Prime Minister Modi has once again proved close relationship with the wealthiest considering the buyer at the auction is a diamond trader.
In politics, dalliance with plutocracy is all about exchanging favors to rescue one another during image diminishing or popularity sinking crisis.
Notwithstanding the opportunity to launder surplus black money and facilitate counterfeit money circulation conforming to the concept that anything goes in politics.
The projection of Prime Minister Modi as celestial body and associating the individual with divinity and yet the value determined at the auction is indeed the irony.
On the contrary, the real and authentic supernatural force is invaluable and eternally remains the benefactor rather than beneficiary.
Politics overture to bourgeois in society under the pretext of charitable cause confirms the irrevocable marriage between the power in political, economic and entertainment sector.
Perhaps the incumbent in New Delhi crackdown on wealth surrender beginning with self and members in the ruling, opposition and other representation would exemplify sincerity in national assets recovery adequately providing for the entire nation without having to indulge in self-serving performance under the guise of charity.
The government action enforcing transparency and accountability that is slighted with mockery in the prevalent system would mean credibility arguably a rare commodity in politics.
Besides, charitable deeds for political or personal gains has reverse karmic effects due to inherently flawed purpose.
Anything led by the blank and beguiling forces at the helm in the pyramid scheme is destined for decadency.
Political maneuvering for salvation with extemporaneous involvement pronounce insolvency.
Accordingly hegemony imposed status quo is unsustainable.
The acknowledgment of reality i.e. fait accompli and graceful exit is a better option in the otherwise inevitable conclusion.
Peace to all!
Thank you.

Irony – Political Characterization of Patriotism and Populism as Nationalism
January 21, 2015
By Padmini Arhant
A quick review on political characterization and misinterpretation of positions deserves attention.
In the hegemony i.e. the shadow power controlled system, the proxies during political campaigns and ordinarily are instructed to follow script and regurgitate regardless of such delivery only confirming idiocy and hypocrisy in the highest order.
Hegemony straddling to create confusion using all factions servile to hegemonic goals evidently caught in the web with no way to escape from illusive pursuits.
As for the political establishment and their sponsored contenders pandering to foreign agenda, further exemplify the pledge of allegiance to external authority notwithstanding treason in the process.
Anything clinging to the object on the mudslide is guaranteed to accompany in the pitfall.
Whenever population is educated on the requirement to protect individual freedom, civil rights, sovereignty and natural resources for better economic opportunity to all in their respective domain – immediately the lackeys representing hegemony and their agents in the territory are prompted to brand the entity a nationalist – the deliberate term reserved to refute the irrefutable patriotism and populism.
Unlike prejudice and preferential treatment contributing to social and economic disparity besides immigration issue with human rights violations descriptive of communalism and nationalism.
Again in contrast – the controversial declaration as Jewish state ignoring the religious connotation undermining the proclaimed democratic status is regarded loyalty to faith.
Likewise the previously colonized nations deemed dominion republic and presumptuous claim on various islands as private estate upheld with pride as regal and legal.
The practice redefining values against appropriate meaning proves the desperate times seeking desperate measures adopting devious means for survival.
The mind numbing and dumbing strategy to promote destructive cause is clearly indicative of the self-defeating purpose in life for the source and catalysts alike.
The failed policy to continue business as usual despite colossal setbacks in hegemony aspirations is yet another example of the quest for conquest beguiling self and the rest.
Recognition of folly and reversal of course would be wise than otherwise.
Peace to all!
Thank you.

United States – Martin Luther King Jr. Day 2015
January 18, 2015
By Padmini Arhant
Martin Luther King Jr. – The human rights advocate sacrificed his life for racial harmony and social equality. The civil rights movement led to desegregation and voting rights allowing the disenfranchised to exercise electoral choice and participation in the political process.
As a result many amongst the marginalized were able to exponentially rise in various fields such as politics, military, economy, education and entertainment including television media gaining prominence and affluence.
The beneficiaries in this historic feat having realized their dreams and attained the pinnacle of success are unfortunately responsible for the brethren’s woes having ignored their persistent plight to the extent of slight despite the existing political and economic power within community.
Similarly certain members’ misplaced priority whether in providing false testimony to international body on Iraq war producing endless deaths and devastation until now or joining the ranks of those constantly engaged in counterproductive cause adopting deceptive concepts and means for self and vested interests exemplify the respective characteristics with little or no concern for their role undermining the civil rights leader’s dedication.
The milestones in history is a reminder to evaluate current situation to determine pervasive effects in society.
Any achievements burden the society to sustain progress. The sustainability is critical for progressive trend in the inclusive rather than exclusive format evident in contemporary status.
Whenever civilization undergoes revolutionary changes, the incumbents bear responsibility to extend positive aspects and concurrently act in reversing negative or destructive course pertaining to denial of freedom, human values and social justice leading towards egalitarianism with respect for life transcending race, religion, gender and several classifications in society.
The civil rights being the inalienable rights of all citizens should be essentially free from preferential applications or jurisdiction contrary to the prevalent conditions targeting specific demography for racial profiling and incarcerations with indelible mark on intolerance from such involvement.
Upon reviewing status quo beginning with Guantanamo Bay detainees, torture chambers regardless of techniques, foreign prisons for renditions, legislation of National Defense Authorization Act, sponsoring terrorism not barring cannibalism to destabilize sovereign nations, authorizing predator drones killing defenseless children, women and men in occupied countries and toppling democratically elected governments maintained with pride and prejudice.
In the domestic front, the joblessness among African Americans soaring amid combating hate crimes against youths with police brutality and judicial verdict exacerbating the victims and the family suffering more than ever.
These incidents occurrence in the 1960’s emanated from ignorance and deep social divide for individual and collective satisfaction.
However, the revival in the present time is regrettable.
Accordingly the constitutional obligation and civil duty binding on entire Congress as lawmakers and elected representatives for impartial investigation alongside measures to prevent repeat events nationwide is imperative.
Furthermore the indifference to frequent fatal assaults involving African American citizens in recent memory is disturbing especially after the civil rights struggle enabling members of African American origin at the helm in the executive, legislative and judicial branch in possession of authority.
The unarmed victims – Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, Shooting of Trayvon Martin in the George Zimmerman case and Miriam Carey shot dead with the toddler son witnessing the horrific crime in the Capitol Police and Secret Service Agents pursuit near White House are few of many violations that merits valid explanation.
Since politics is granted immunity in the crimes against humanity, perhaps there is no political will to seek justice and restore fairness in civil society.
“The arc of the moral universe is long but it bends toward justice.” – Martin Luther King Jr.
This is only possible when members of political class demonstrate the pledge to serve constituents and the nation in action. The system is broken and beyond repair due to illegitimacy i.e. hegemony as shadow power reining control over governance and global activity.
Nonetheless, the darkness cannot prolong as eternal night with the break of dawn and the sun rise in the natural order.
The holistic approach would be for the successful and powerful to lend support in improving the lives of the less fortunate and disavow ties with elements contributing to economic and social disparity through polarization.
Advancing the work of Martin Luther King Jr. promoting equal opportunity and individual rights across the spectrum would be the best tribute.
Peace to all!
Thank you.
