United States – Government Shut Down And Political Catharsis
October 16, 2013
By Padmini Arhant
The so-called government shut down in the United States with leaderships in the executive and legislative branch in irreconcilable position merit fair evaluation considering the impressive congressional bipartisanship without Presidential veto threat on issues related to Wall Street, AIPAC and warfare funding including sponsoring terrorism up until now delivered to the respective proponents satisfaction.
However, the prevalent choreographed standoff attributed to Tea Party – a political faction in public perception and otherwise a smokescreen for subversion and deflection from actuality allowing real contributors and participants behind manufactured crises to advance the agenda.
Post 9/11 – In the false flag event the United States mainstream was initially targeted producing massive casualties and subsequently the unprecedented terror act used as premise for civil rights infringement introducing Patriot Act, FISA, NSA, ACTA and NDAA for subjugation en masse.
The paradigm shift in the transfer of power from congress to the executive branch also transpired following 9/11 facilitating excess Presidential authority that led to institutionalizing unlawful detentions in Guantanamo Bay, legitimized renditions with secret prison camps overseas accompanied by torture not barring water boarding and the unabated drone attacks exponentially risen under the current administration.
United States constitution irrelevance is evident in the privately owned Federal Reserve control of money supply and monetary policy with immunity from congressional or independent audit and accountability despite implications regarding unaccounted multi-trillion dollars of tax payer funds from national treasury.
Accordingly the constitutional law increasingly discarded in all three branches of the government.
Having rendered the constitution redundant, the forces espousing global dominance are in the process of eliminating people from governance and since congress members are elected to represent the electorate – the congressional dismal performance with approval rating at 5% provides opportunity to further empower Presidency under special and foreign interests management alienating citizens in national legislation.
The political system departure from democracy exemplified in the incumbent administration war against whistle blowers,
The NSA surveillance legalized by state appointed court shrouded in secrecy defying transparency,
The office of Presidency exercising extra judicial executions in recent years,
The congressional subpoenas disregarded in Benghazi investigation,
The distortion of facts and falsifying reports for congress authorization on military intervention and,
Last but not the least, the NDAA enactment enabling government predisposition against United States citizens as potential terror suspects without probable cause for trial under military tribunal denying them due legal course alludes to martial law with commander-in-chief as the supreme authority.
The prolonged stalemate generating the impression that all sides agree to disagree indefinitely when the same establishment function in perfect harmony to appease specific sources clarifies the existing gridlock as political catharsis declining republic will and significance in the expeditious transformation from civilian representation to exclusive loyalty to anti-democratic plutocracy.
Whenever checks and balances to curtail abuse of power rejected, such responses endanger national identity and independent status.
The solution to the crises is for citizens across the spectrum to proclaim sovereignty in restoring constitution guided government emphasizing the right to withhold federal tax payments upon the executive and legislative leaderships failure to reach amicable settlement obligatory on them to mitigate losses in the economic sector and national credibility.
Finally, United States political, economic and social recovery perhaps possible with renouncing NSA activity and disenfranchisement of the Federal Reserve as the Central Bank leading to moral renaissance.
Best Wishes to United States citizenry in the successful revival of the government of the people, by the people and for the people reflecting meaningful and genuine democracy.
Peace to all!
Thank you.

United States – Amicable Settlement is the Saving Grace on Government Shut Down
October 8, 2013
By Padmini Arhant
The ongoing government shut down deserves clarifications from lawmakers unwilling to resume work considering they are all being paid with taxpayer funds transforming the closure into a paid holiday.
When legislators in both political parties and White House could arrive at majority if not overwhelming consensus on issues related to special interests and AIPAC proposal exceeding Wall Street and foreign entities expectations on legislations,
The current stalemate rejecting direct communication let alone agreement on any mater through congressional session is suggestive of misplaced priority and lack of commitment to national service – the reason to elect representatives and leaderships to public office.
According to the main news reports – the House passed the bill to pay furloughed employees on October 5, 2013.
Despite the measure, the decision to prolong the political standoff amid expressing concern over debt crises only confirms the governance not taken seriously and instead utilized for agenda not necessarily in national benefit.
The disingenuous display is counterproductive in political and economic standpoint emphasizing the need for elected officials to transcend selective partisanship and actions exacerbating economic conditions that would eventually impact the contributors and participants in this destructive course.
Since the legislative and executive branch not affected with the loss of personal income, the urgency to end impasse perhaps not the preference ignoring the economic ramifications in the domestic and global market.
The deliberate choices to extend political discord further exemplify abuse of power and exploitation of taxpayers especially the ordinary citizens expected to maintain tax payments regardless of government operation.
Any more procrastination would evidently define the political goals not aimed at economic recovery and inversely facilitating the preventable disaster.
American constituents could seek the respective congressmen and women for valid explanation behind the unreasonable catharsis at whomsoever behest and urge them to bring the standoff to conclusion without any delay.
Based on the lawmakers response to republic will, democracy would be tested for viability.
The meaningless strategy to disrupt government functionality only hurts United States financial status and political parties credibility to preside over national affairs.
The government that is truly representative of the people, by the people and for the people would not adopt means to stall economic progress.
On the contrary every member in recognition of constitutional duty to serve the nation would spare no opportunity to find common ground for reconciliation.
Failure to reopen government and address impending bills would transfer the burden of responsibility entirely on the factions posing impediment to fundamental function i.e. diligently perform national tasks to avoid detrimental economic outcome linked with political survivability during electoral process.
Hence the leaderships along with party members in the House of Congress, Senate and White House directing the focus on the reversal of economic decline with result oriented policies is the preliminary step towards building investor and consumer confidence desperately required in the fragile economy.
Allowing delinquency on government bills and subsequent downgrading of credit rating may not be prudent in the effort to contain sovereign debt.
Setting aside political differences and convergence on expediting fiscal year budget for government activities is the only option to rescue the nation from default.
The leaders on all sides in acknowledgment of national obligations rising to the occasion for amicable settlement would be the saving grace.
Hopefully reason and logic would prevail over political expediency.
Peace to all!
Thank you.

United States – Government Shut Down And Republic Action
October 5, 2013
By Padmini Arhant
Recently President Barack Obama had direct assurance from House Speaker John Boehner regarding House Representatives votes on Syria.
However, the transformation with the impasse on government shut down is paradoxical where the two leaderships apparently unable to reconcile differences despite the consequences on the average citizens as federal employees and the public at large.
Reiterating the fact that unlawful warfare, unnecessary military and monetary aid to nuclear state Israel and Egypt, Jordan…on Israel’s behalf, sponsoring terrorism and Wall Street bailout almost never has any impediments with the legislative and executive branch working together in perfect harmony to deliver the special interest and AIPAC demands on United States Congress.
The current stalemate involving suspension of government services using health care and raising the debt ceiling as bargaining chips is evidently counterproductive considering the negative impact on economy and employment situation.
The political showdown is unnecessary and elected officials committed to national service as required by the constitutional oath would not block government functions as mechanism to impose their agenda.
Neither the health care nor debt ceiling could be implemented in prolonging the government closure. These two issues merit transparency and discussions to allay legitimate concerns among citizens as financiers of the entire national budget.
The fiscal conservatism on spending cuts targeting lifeline programs and services such as Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, education and environment could be shifted to wasteful expenditure and redundant activities such as the government shut down arguably increasing economic liabilities and exacerbating citizens suffering.
Again, the government fiscal policy aimed at stifling essential consumer oriented growth combined with the Federal Reserve monetary policy on partial to total withdrawal of quantitative easing i.e. interjection of cash flow into the economy @ interest rates between 0 – ¼ percent with impending debt elevation deserves congressional debate and national review.
Besides, the Federal Reserve is yet to account on previously missing $9 trillions and the latest $16 trillion in secret bailout of foreign banks using United States tax dollars while the urgency on extending borrowing limit via debt ceiling lingering as the national crises.
None of this would be possible with the ongoing political standoff.
American citizens rising to the occasion exercising republic power by calling on the representatives to resume work is the preliminary step towards restoring democracy and economic recovery.
Peace to all!
Thank you.

Human Development – Moral Insolvency Resulting in Incorrigible Self-Degradation
October 4, 2013
By Padmini Arhant
The paradoxical composition in natural creation is to pronounce the characteristics and effects of two elements designed to be contradictory in output such as the bright sun effulgence ending the darkness of night with former promoting and energizing life to sustain survivability while the latter contributing to the requirement of light for optimal performance.
Among the positive and negative vices – the contrasting features provide necessary guidance or distraction from the course respectively yielding outcome in accordance with preference on the means to any achievements.
The venerable virtues like honesty, integrity, genuine care and compassion for all transcending pride and prejudice combined with courage in the struggle against injustice exemplified through sincere commitment presides over and rise above the opposing attributes typically undermining the essence of goodness to enforce destructive goals.
Furthermore, the negative traits in reliance on deception, falsehood and unscrupulous methods practice presumptuous justification of actions in defiance of logic and reasoning unnecessarily confining to disoriented hostility.
The contemporary world events emanating from moral insolvency having reached the crescendo has the option for salvation or succumb to decoy targeting imaginary foes in the misguided misadventure.
Seeking viable solutions to self-manufactured crises must begin with recognition of folly and anomaly reflective in the erroneous decision making process responsible for the global status quo.
Besides, attempts to deceive and harm others are counterproductive with inevitable impact on the source conforming to sowing and reaping principle considering the malevolence overriding rationality.
The deeds performed with ulterior motives deliver results not necessarily favorable to the cause and disillusionment in this regard often facilitates preparedness to avert repeat instance.
In relation to the prevalent impasse in the United States evolving into government closure – the coordination among political class in the legislative and executive branch along with members in different capacity on legislations viz. funding for unlawful military intervention overseas, sponsoring terrorism in Syria, Iraq, Libya and Mali, supporting violent crackdown in Bahrain…and,
Last but not the least multi-billion dollars aid to Israel as well as other recipients on Israel’s behalf invariably passed with unanimous or majority approval despite these measures proved detrimental to United States economy exacerbating human suffering in the domestic and foreign land.
However, on issues concerning American electorate and government run key program and services – the political stalemate suddenly surface between congress and administration that otherwise are able to strike a chord on the above outlined matter!
Similarly the refusal to ceasefire in Syria as well as establishment of Palestinian statehood and termination of illegal drone attacks among several other crimes committed against innocent civilians profoundly defines the incorrigible self-degradation conduct with captive mind in return holding humanity hostage to decrepit strategy.
United States political leadership’s choreographed harmony on unjust warfare, Wall Street bailouts and generous monetary assistance to Israel and Gulf states juxtapose synchronized acrimony on American taxpayers affairs clarifies subjugation of national sovereignty with suppression of freedom for exclusive gains of the privileged society.
The confluence of ideas and collective input for national benefit adopting transparency and public scrutiny on policies prior to implementation would revive democratic forum.
Upon acknowledgment of duty and responsibility adorning humility would clear the pathway towards progress.
National and international reconciliation stems from sharing common vision accompanied by mutual respect and understanding demonstrated in immediate response to restore confidence building and credibility.
Unfortunately, the dispute settlements lacking in meaningful and constructive dialogue is less accommodating on substance with more emphasis on exerting dominance transforming the engagement to catharsis.
Serious participation would normally envisage fruitful negotiations mitigating losses from unnecessary procrastination not without repercussions in the near and long term.
The political will and determination governed by conscience and ethical efficacy to address national challenges would affirm constitutional oath shifting loyalty to republic unlike the tradition pledged allegiance to powers endangering lives and livelihood.
Not to mention such representation indicative of moribund political parties focused on subversion of democracy with activities barely in resemblance to the government of the people, by the people and for the people.
The inflexibility on all sides with respect to United States government shut down arguably diminish the role of lawmakers in the submission to selective political partisanship – non-existent in the legislative procedure for special interests.
Any delay in re-opening the government would categorically declare United States legislators and executive branch dysfunctional.
Human development on the reverse trend tragically waste opportunity to be purposeful accumulating karmic debts or liabilities from unsavory indulgence that could be prevented exercising wisdom and discriminatory ability to distinguish right from wrong during sojourn on earth.
Nobility is the nectar contained in self-sacrifice dedicated to mankind and environment.
Peace to all!
Thank you.
