World – Current Affairs

Highlights Preview:

Project for New American Century – Facts and events related to the mission will continue to dominate the topic of discussion. 

The rise of sleeping giant – Germany as the new addition in the P5+1, the  exclusive unipolar decision making body – UNSC authorizing economic sanctions and military intervention against non-western nations will be the focus in the upcoming article.

Germany – EU chief representative in collusion with monetary authorities – ECB, IMF and leading financial institutions behind austerity imposition in Europe serve financiers vested interests at ordinary citizens’ expense contributing to deepening income disparity and economic problems. 

Germany deployment of troops in Iraq, Syria and now Libya under the pretext of training local armed forces besides lucrative defense contracts with Saudi Arabia regardless of latter established as terror facilitator in funding, arming and training terror networks throughout middle east confirms hegemony operation. 

HEGEMONY – WHO IS WHO? 

The foes and friends in disguise.  

The quest for conquest persists despite catastrophic outcome.

A glance at failures and devastating results in the pursuit for global dominance premised on the end justifying the means would provide insight to fait accompli.

The reality check would clarify the destination. 

Topics to resume in due course.

Thank you.

Face the Truth – Project for New American Century Inception

December 30, 2015

By Padmini Arhant

The masterminds, architects and catalysts of the Project for New American Century invented terror as the means to implement agenda.

The Project for New American Century (PNAC) is an extension of the concept – New World Order.

New World Order was formalized in the former President Ronald Reagan era. 

New World Order seeks one world government rejecting sovereign and republic status of all nations on earth.

The prototypes of New World Order were introduced through United Nations (UN) and UNSC in particular involving five members – United States, Britain, France, Russia and China – the nuclear nations with imperialistic aspirations and legacy.  The privilege is self-granted veto power to enforce economic sanctions invariably on non-western nations in addition to military interventions for economic and strategic interests.

Simultaneously the plan was further developed with the formation of European Union (EU) consisting highly paid bureaucrats in Brussels, Belgium and EU states leaderships viz. Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Scandinavian Royalty like Sweden among others and Britain’s monarchy colluded nexus group…to name a few in the influential role.

EU along with ECB and IMF imposing severe austerity to cripple economy has generated generational debtors in the respective member states in Europe witnessed in Greece, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Ireland and euro members within EU.

New World Order is premised on parallel government i.e. UN and EU controlled and run by power mongering and greed motivated forces using violence and fear induction to subjugate population worldwide.

UN and EU along with NATO as the military wing under United States military establishment engaged in provocative exercise and military drills in the Baltic, Yellow and South China Sea in addition to Middle East incursions summarize expansive operations exerting global dominance despite colossal failures thus far.

Elections serve as convenient mechanisms to legitimize illegitimate authority functioning as behind the scenes operatives with selected representatives as heads of the government to execute plan and policy against republic and sovereignty.

Furthermore, elections promote ideological platform, communalism, corruption via campaign funding from unlimited sources not barring unsavory organizations and entities far and wide, vote rigging and fraudulence with bribery to voters in cash and kind in rural and urban areas alike.

Understanding present global situation embroiled in incessant violence and bloodshed requires comprehension of the cause and effect as nothing happens without reason.

Project for New American Century (PNAC) is hegemony goal notwithstanding global syndicate comprising major powers poised as allies and adversaries in disguise to promulgate supremacy at the vast majority expense.

Accordingly, there is absolute disregard for life other than their own and little or no concern for environment considering the stance on nuclear disarmament and unabated terror manufactured and unleashed in diverse format such as gun violence in the United States, false flag events beginning with September 11, 2001 in the U.S and subsequently in world capitals to prolong ordinary citizens, the working class, marginalized and disenfranchised plight world over.

In the increasingly deceptive settings and choreographed electoral process whether the Presidential race in the United States and similarly elsewhere,

Public awareness on factual information and reality assertively challenged with inundated propaganda dominating airwaves, communication media, entertainment and educational institutions devoted to subversion and distortion.

The contemporary dilemma is could the circumstances be reversed with the elimination of counterproductive indulgence?

The answer is unequivocally possible and inevitable for anything that endangers survival and habitat existence is unsustainable and eventually succumb to disaster.

Meanwhile, humanity rising to the occasion in resistance to decadence is the viable and compulsory option towards liberty, equality and most importantly peaceful atmosphere in a nuclear and terror free zone besides economic and social opportunity.

Peace to all!

Thank you.

Religion – Merry Christmas!

December 25, 2015

By Padmini Arhant

Merry Christmas!  Celebrating Jesus birth and Christ’s sacrifice to redeem the world from sins and suffering.

The world overwhelmed with sins presumptuously defiant much to self destruction.

Despite chaos and catastrophe inflicted on innocent population through terror sponsorship and perpetual violence, the sponsors and catalysts pursue terrorism to achieve agenda.

The contemporary trend dominant in greed for power, fame and fortune by any means slight consequences with fatal outcome for the origin and anyone involved in counterproductive course.

The failed policies and flawed strategies are maintained in the desire for eternal rule. Having embarked on mission delivering deaths and devastation, the worst attitude is denial.

Similarly, falsehood and fraudulence create illusive environment leading to misguidance and surrender of freedom.

In brazen effort to forsake real benefactor – the merciful, insightful and powerful almighty God,

The forces behind global misery are delusional in promoting demagogues feigning in respective role leaving the audience in the dark as victims of mass deception.

The intolerance to peace and positive proposals exemplified then in crucifixion of Jesus continued with the present world events emanating from contempt for anything even remotely associated to collective benefits and humanitarian cause representing providential truth define status quo.

Human folly begins with rejection of facts and reality chasing mirage only to discover fantasy produce disappointment and despair.

Renouncing narcissism for altruism is the preliminary step towards self-redemption.

Those evading responsibility and accountability for their egregious decisions and actions ignore clarion call from within and remain prisoner of guilt unable to hide or run afar.

Accordingly, declining justice to crime victims essentially subjugate perpetrators in the confines of fault and felony.

Adherence to conscience – the key witness to activities regardless of personal convictions is the next measure to alleviate burden of guilt.

In other incidents, the deliberate and voluntary indulgence to hurt and harm others deriving sadistic pleasure is a sign of individual weakness and inner decay.

Human form gifted with discriminatory ability to distinguish right from wrong wasted in life results in self-imprisonment.

The liberated soul is the one free from shackles of sinful acts and acrimony.

The willing would strive for salvation and face challenges without compromising values and principles that describes identity.

Life is an opportunity to learn the art of living that is beyond egotistic self-interest. The pledge to reform expressed in conduct starting with compassion and honesty would set the trail for self-emancipation.

Finally, deed not creed determine destiny upon departure.

Jesus Christ teachings practiced in sincerity would illustrate appreciation and gratitude in the struggles for elevation in human spirit.

Merry Christmas!

Peace to all!

Thank you.

Environment – Climate Treaty 2015

December 13, 2015

By Padmini Arhant 

The Climate Treaty in Paris to address global warming and agreement to maintain level below 2 degrees Celsius is welcome and represents refreshing global commitment.

The contentions in reaching consensus were industrialized states fund provisions to developing and island nations in combating environment woes due to excess carbon emissions from the former and now joined by emerging economies with greater energy demands viz. China and India.

The carbon emitters pledge towards $100 billion a year was the proposal back in 2010.  The current pact were to reflect the industrialized countries together with rising economic powers submitting to that funding in writing then that is the preliminary step in the acknowledgment of responsibility.

As for the unanimous consent in voluntary setting to contain emissions, the data could vary and might be deficient in achieving goals unless the undertaking meets the expected range.  The offer made binding on all nations especially the most obvious defaulters is crucial for the implantation of accord.

Energy giants relentless pursuits to excavate oil wells and mining companies nonchalant activities in coal production and export combined with nuclear deals in the backdrop of disasters determine reality.

Fukushima ordeal with nuclear reactors leakage contamination of ocean inflicted irreversible loss on marine life and grave health risks to inhabitants in the prefecture and across the shores.

Most importantly, the existential threat to environment is nuclear proliferation and endless warfare dropping bombs, missiles, air strikes and predator drone attacks leaving scores dead and causing destruction in targeted nations with regional and global impact.

Declining nuclear disarmament and signing climate agreement is paradoxical and confirms lack of sincerity in planet protection.

The ongoing military interventions through terrorism enabling terror networks access to chemical and biological weapons poison water reservoir and pollute the sky.

Considering the unwillingness to end conflicts in Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan and skirmishes in South China as well as Baltic Seas with nuclear laden submarines and fighter jets hovering over the areas, the climate accord is challenged in the seamless confrontations and expansive military operations.

The world leaderships hailing the climate agreement with key nations positioned as global powers sponsoring terrorism resulting in refugee crisis is not only a humanitarian issue but also environment problem.

The duplicity with contradictory engagements pose credibility factor in any serious matter such as planet preservation.

Any efforts to lower carbon emissions is compromised in aerial bombings and widespread shelling with severe health and environment hazards for the natives migrated elsewhere upon them fleeing the danger zone.

The climate pact coming into fruition is possible upon complete and comprehensive nuclear disarmament along with departure from dependency on fossil fuel and nuclear energy contemporarily invigorated in defiance to catastrophe experienced thus far.

The political will and genuine concern to save the planet for the present and future generations could no longer remain negotiable.

Planet is the habitat for all species with humans contributed calamity endangering survival and sustenance.

Never too late to change course and avert further deterioration of the environment.

Greener existence is directly linked with peaceful atmosphere devoid of violence and bloodshed in addition to adopting natural energy options available to all.

Peace to all!

Thank you.

India – Celebrity Worship And Ostentation Ad Nauseam

December 12, 2015

By Padmini Arhant

Recently the High Court in Mumbai – the city where Indian film industry (Bollywood) is represented delivered a verdict in the high profile criminal case. 

The hit and run case with Bollywood actor Salman Khan faced charges on manslaughter and four others severely injured in the incident that occurred in 2002.

The driver under the influence of alcohol having lost control rammed over people on the curb side leaving one person dead and four seriously hurt in the incident.

The drunken driver identified as the Bollywood actor Salman Khan at that time by eyewitnesses including the actor’s personal bodyguard in the initial police complaint set the stage for long legal battle between two sides – the victims –  the unknown and poor individuals vs. celebrity with net worth over $200 million.

In the thirteen years of legal wrangling and circumventions by the accused notwithstanding witnesses deaths having provided sworn testimony before the magistrate, the court drama in typical Bollywood style was brought to an end favoring none other than the defendant.

The defendant was acquitted of all charges and hailed victorious in Indian tinsel town. The film fraternity and admirers along with fans apparently rejoicing the outcome.

Yet another Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan aka SRK contemporarily dealing with investigations on financial transactions contributing to INR 100 crore rupees i.e. $10 million loss to Indian ex-checker or treasury welcomed the decision in the criminal case of his counterpart Salman Khan claiming the conclusion positive for the silver screen performer.

Just two months ago, the Bollywood actress turned politician currently representing the ruling BJP and NDA government – Hema Malini’s car collision with another vehicle near the national highway in Northern region resulted in the death of a four years old child and her family sustaining life threatening injury.

As per the family’s account – the passerby (a doctor!) having witnessed the horrific incident escorted the celebrity with minor abrasions while neglecting the family including the child that was in need of emergency treatment.

The celebrity Hema Malini received top notch medical attention in private facility compared with the ordinary family left on the highway for more than two to three hours without any sign of rescue attributed to the child’s tragic loss of life.

The actress cum politician Hema Malini held the distressed family responsible for the fatal scene.

Celebrities in Indian society – entertainment domain predominantly film industry and sports arena besides the powerful entities in politics and economic sector held above the law.

Celebrity worship ad nauseam promotes social inequality deepening economic disparity.

Celebrities entering politics upon diminishing stardom is not uncommon.  Actors turning politicians and vice versa is the tradition.

The movie and sports personalities are major attractions for political parties aimed at complicity to policy not necessarily in public interest.  The tasks of mobilizing disenchanted electorate made easier with glamor and glitz distraction.

Unfortunately for the average citizens – the segment in the lowest economic strata looking for opportunity to drift away from continuous struggles, cinema is the means for escapism.

When people in the poorest socio economic background make nobody into somebody evolving as celebrity, the source behind celebrities’ fame and success not only forgotten but also taken for granted in the ever increasing frenzy over superficial display.

The rich, famous and influential ability to wheel justice in their direction slighting evidence based facts in criminal cases made possible by corruption culture and undue fanfare to celebrity status.

Film stars are the creation of collective contributions beginning with make-up artists, costume designers, choreographers and multitude expertise as behind the scenes operatives not to mention the lyricists, screen play writers, musicians and technology oriented techniques under capable director that leads to the final product.

The glory assigned to main characters ignoring the crucial team in movie making and subsequent hype is distortion.

Above all, the show without audience would be zero despite overestimated hero.

Unless bias and adulation set aside with civic funded institutions across the spectrum such as judiciary, police, prosecution and forensics immunity to incentives compromising fair trial, the victims would be denied justice in the real world.

Perhaps the people especially the poorer sections in society facilitating empowerment of those trampling on their rights to fairness and equality awakening to reality would balance the scales in the court of law.

My condolence to families and survivors affected in the society’s intoxication to ostentation prevalent in the form of entertainment.

Peace to all!

Thank you.

India – Floods Exacerbate Common Citizens Plight in Tamil Nadu

December 10, 2015

By Padmini Arhant

The unprecedented rainfall in the southern state Tamil Nadu with capital Chennai and other districts experiencing excess rise in water level face challenges in retaining regular activity.

In any natural hazards, the average citizens are worst affected due to authorities lack of preparedness and evacuation programs combined with poorly developed drainage and sewage systems contributing to the problem.

The residents in low lying areas unable to prevent water flow inside their homes could have benefitted from proper development to channel rainwater away from the residence with underground canal.

The building code incorporating construction and maintenance of appropriate trough would have eased the situation for people forced to leave their premise.

Cities marooned in heavy monsoon are at stake in the aftermath with the outbreak of disease and breakdown of essential supply chain exacerbating citizens suffering.

Again the Indian news report on the private hospital losing 14 patients in ICU in Chennai from power failure cutting off oxygen source is a tragedy that could have been avoided with alternative mechanism as constant energy provision.

Human tendency to react after mishap rather than making proper arrangements for untimely disasters is the revealing feature.

The readiness and safety measures is ongoing requirement to mitigate losses and cannot be differed or neglected clarifying miscalculated crisis management.

The hard lessons impose necessary tasks on government and private industry with real estate in particular to focus on town planning and development comprising robust structures and fall back options to alleviate environment woes and malfunction of critical facility.

Meanwhile, the Indian Navy, Air Force and coastal guards’ relief operations efforts proved dependable.

The citizenry in Tamil Nadu – the youth volunteers outreach to stranded victims and families exemplify human spirit in the hour of needs and emergency worthy of emulation.

Collective actions reduce the burden on the vulnerable and economically deprived citizens at any time although the bulk of responsibility remains with government and political class in addressing acute to minor issues on public services and state governance that controls civic coordination.

The poor and marginalized sections in society sharing their disappointment in the political leadership and other members of establishment for having ignored them despite severe conditions is regrettable.

The grieving citizens account on political domain apathy is yet another dilemma. The routine gesture with voters remembered at the election onset and subsequently slighted as distraction from usual business prioritize personal and vested interests in the position of power.

Hopefully the fund allocation towards flood zones would be made available to the people and major cash distribution expended in the repair and restoration of towns and cities with protective and risk deterrent methods in place.

I offer my condolence to mournful and wish for recovery to normalcy in Tamil Nadu.

Peace to all!

Thank you.

United States – Shooting Incident (False Flag) in San Bernardino, California

December 5, 2015

By Padmini Arhant

The shooting incident scheduled once a month in the United States claiming innocent lives has a pattern.

The established false flag event with patsies never challenged for conspicuous odds accepting impropriety in the featured crisis.

Despite dragnet surveillance and prevalent espionage activity, the attackers in gun violence somehow always escape the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) watchful eyes and intelligence agencies radar.

The slip reveals the surveillance conducted on law abiding and peaceful citizens constituting harassment and stalking while sheltering members and behind the scenes operatives posing security threats in the country.

The operation unleashing violence and committing mass murder followed by media frenzy creating hysteria, xenophobia and misogyny is the standard practice.

Another consistency in the organized shooting episodes in the United States is the suspects are always killed rather than apprehended denying victims families and the nation access to facts and premise.

State policing shifting from suppression of non-violent dissent and civil rights to forces complicit in harming and endangering lives in society would exemplify tax payers funded indulgence appropriate.

When authorities sponsor terrorism providing financial assistance, arms supply and training to terror networks maintained using different names at every stage and currently referred to as Daesh terror groups,

The nation is no longer free with sovereignty compromised by fallacious interests.

The abuse of power and public trust violation clarify the enemy within necessitating actions to implement checks and balances to restore republic rule.

Prolonging status quo desensitize reactions to repeat occurrence imposing premeditated will.

Security lapse and agencies negligence in intercepting plots and targeted killings contributing to senseless violence and tragic deaths in the shooting rampage.

Besides, the important factor on gun control legislation with requirement for background checks to prevent unsavory elements procurement of assault and deadly weapons is the minimal procedure missing due to little or no concern for others life.

The lack of political drive to protect citizens nationwide proves misplaced priority in governance under special interests control.

National Rifles Association (NRA) representing defense industry and the military industrial complex at large lobbying Congress gaining preference over citizens’ safety explains the state of affairs and the urgent need to revive democracy.

Citizens initiative and activism in the removal of illegitimate incognito power run parallel government is the solution to problems in the deteriorating political, economic and social environment.

I offer my condolence to grieving families and hope for speedy recovery of the injured in the latest violence in San Bernardino, California.

Peace to all!

Thank you.

Face The Truth – Press, Communication Media and Entertainment Sector

November 29, 2015

 

By Padmini Arhant

The contemporary trend is mind control with propaganda, lies and unsubstantiated allegations to subvert truth deflecting attention from reality.

Additionally, the platform facilitates hate mongering, prejudice and polarization in society.

The communication media and entertainment industry widely used for this purpose.  The degenerative political, economic and social environment is a reflection of forces at the helm reining power incognito.

Despite repeat failures in the so called war on terror through terrorism notwithstanding major electoral debacles by their proxies in government, the declining supremacy evidently nothing more than a fantasy with history serving as testimony until today.

Since desperate times seeks desperate measures, the dimming powerhouse reliance on misinformation and denigration via paid representatives in the literary and artistic fields incentivized with undeserving awards and titles to parrot prompters message further confirms decaying process.

As a result, the entertainment along with press and other communication outlets are extensively deployed in mass manipulation.

In this segment, I pose the following questions to Media, Entertainment and literary body for complicity to abuse of power.

  1. Is the press reporting news events factually or induce politically motivated characterization?

The latter is the preferred practice misleading public and to curb challengers at bay.

  1. Are communication media and broadcasting networks transformed into state media and proprietary interests rather than stalwarts in holding authority and celebrity accountable for misusing self proclaimed privileged status?

Political establishment owned television networks and communication channels primarily set up to cover up scandals involving them and target genuine opposition delineated from political affiliation.  The media syndicate diversion and distortion promote vested agenda leaving the captive audience in the dark.

The various media including television are convenient mediums for slander and malicious rumors besides masquerading criminality and corrupt regimes in power.

  1. How come the entertainment industry profiteering from unauthorized theme and content not pursuing real events with forces behind crimes against humanity?

The entertainment industry – television and theaters controlled and maneuvered for mind invasion with fabrication and falsehood prevent discovery of facts and truthful exposure leading to real perpetrators in disguise.

  1. Why can’t the entertainment industry exercise diligence and discernment over cashing in on trashing and bashing natural phenomenon?

The entertainment industry engaged in impersonation fraudulently claimed as emulation and satire somehow only fixated with entity standing up to roots of all evil clarifying the negative influence to maintain status quo.

  1. Does this mean the entertainment sector infiltrated by elements against positive developments?

Yes. The unsavory factions’ dominance exemplify decadence.

  1. Where does the press stand in terms of divulgence?

The press is heavily politicized and patronize enemy of duplicity.

  1. Is there an independent and investigative journalism?

The rare existence is increasingly threatened arising from zero tolerance to fair presentation and analysis.

  1. Are there pseudonyms to smear authentic expose?

The tradition continues to self-detriment for anything counterproductive is an apparent disaster.

  1. What is the impetus for performers in the mind numbing orchestra?

Monetary benefits and publicity are the attractions with little or no concern for unconscionable actions.

  1. What is the future for press, media and entertainment under delusional clique?

In doldrums unless creativity and journalistic standards not compromised with unethical and divisive indulgence.

Finally, Intellect and talent best demonstrated in courage and integrity withstanding test of time and tide.

Peace to all!

Thank you.

Syria – Conflict, Terror Evolution And UNSC Decision

November 21, 2015

By Padmini Arhant

Dear Citizens,

Syrian Conflict that began in March 2011 with western powers and allies in the Middle East sponsoring terrorism has claimed more than 250,000 innocent lives and forced millions of Syrians to leave their homeland as refugees facing worst humanitarian crises. 

The war then spread to Iraq and impact Lebanon, Turkey and now become a global  terror.  

 The western powers and coalition manufactured terror to destabilize Syria has evolved into Daesh Takfiri network.

I present impromptu thoughts on this topic.  The article is a synopsis with solutions to end Syrian warfare and terror existence.

Two remedies are offered in this context and they are – 

1. Western powers and allies withdrawal of support to terror operatives in Syria and Iraq.

2. The other requirement is complete and comprehensive ban on weapons supply to terror groups besides trade restriction with Daesh Takfiri and alike that would lead to terror networks disarmament.

Unwillingness and inaction in this regard would reveal the real enemies threatening humanity. 

Instead the latest UNSC decision to wage war against Daesh Takfiri elements surviving on western powers and partners financing, ammunitions delivery, illegal trading of Syrian and Libyan oil in addition to ammunitions sales from them is repeat strategy of Iraq invasion in 2003 under false pretext. 

Please click on the audio link for the full content.

Peace to all!

Thank you.
