Syria – Israeli airstrike against Syrian Scientific Research Center is Israel’s Self-Immolation
January 30, 2013
By Padmini Arhant
Israeli regime airstrike against Syria’s scientific research center is Israel’s self-immolation.
According to reports Israeli military intrusion has killed at least two and injured five so far.
The world has tolerated Israel, United States and allies terrorism, atrocities and war crimes for too long due to lack of accountability.
The latest wanton provocation is an imminent disaster to belligerent state showing no respect for life or international law.
History is testimony to the fact that tyranny reaching the height of tolerance expedite perpetrators disastrous fatal ending in the crimes against humanity.
None are invincible and Israel along with United States are no exception in this regard considering brutality committed by them including attacks against their own citizens in American soil on September 11, 2001.
Furthermore, Israel abusing ally position also responsible for United States and EU sinking economy and alarming suicides among United States military personnel fighting Israel’s delusional geopolitical aspirations never to come into fruition.
Israel and any nation regardless of economic and military not barring nuclear status collusion in misadventures would lead to isolation and continuous defiance resulting in losing sovereignty to the point of no return.
Henceforth, Israeli regime and allies war mongering policies and terrorism is best abandoned exercising restraint over catastrophic actions with inevitable ramifications for the state of Israel and other death squad sponsors against Syria.
Israeli raid targeting Syria is yet another desperate times seeking desperate demise that could easily be averted by war architects and so-called think tanks misleading the regime in Tel Aviv and counterparts in Washington.
Neither Israel nor United States and western powers not excluding Saudi, Qatar and Turkey despotic regimes can afford cataclysmic outcome in escalating Syrian conflict.
The consequence of ill-advised terrorist, militancy and mercenaries deployment by them in Syria is already reflected in dying economy and crumbling kingdoms respectively notwithstanding Imperialism imminent collapse relieving the world from tyranny and oppression.
Israeli and United States signaled aggression is counterproductive and proceeding towards unnecessary assault against Syrian interests would be apocalyptic for aggressors underestimating appropriate response.
Syria is a sovereign state and pose threats to none in the region or worldwide unlike Israel, United States and coalition being existential opponents to peace and global security.
Israel survival in Middle East and credibility is largely dependent on terminating violence and repression against Palestinians in the occupied land of Palestine and neighbors viz. Syria, Lebanon, Iran, Iraq, Egypt and Libya.
Most importantly, Israel coming in terms with reality on Palestinian statehood recognition is no longer an option but necessity for own future..
The current military engagement against Syria is reprehensible and more than worthy of condemnation leading to economic, financial, travel and technology sanctions on the state of Israel.
Muslim community across the globe are urged to come together in solidarity and boycott Israel by pledging to Boycott Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) program operative against world’s worst violator of peace and diplomacy.
The global society and Muslim population in particular concrete measure against Israel and collaborators would set precedence in categorical denouncement of superpower syndrome denying innocent victims normal life with dignity.
Please remember inaction to injustice is complicity and synonymous events to be experienced by all for ignoring collective responsibility urgently required to stop presumptuous ambition on global dominance.
Wishing people and leadership in Syria phenomenal success in reverting calamity upon those inflicting damage and destruction.
Dawn of brilliant light to dispel darkness in and around beleaguered Syria and Palestine.
Peace to all!
Thank you.

Palestine – UNGA Approval of Observer State Status
November 29, 2012
By Padmini Arhant
Congratulations! To people in Palestine and Palestinian Authorities in West Bank and Gaza on the road to success expediting the achievement of ultimate goal – Palestine independence.
The major step would lead to liberty and recognition of Palestine as sovereign state with rights to self-determination and privileges enjoyed by nations denying oppressed population emancipation.
UNGA solidarity in promoting peace and justice is much appreciated.
The UN members’ approval set precedence in legitimizing collective rational decision on humanitarian issues overriding political interference proved to exacerbate human suffering all around.
UNGA acknowledgment of Palestinian humble request is victory for peace and non-violence approach – the honorable means without sacrificing precious lives in the world of turmoil.
Similarly UNGA adopting measures in granting Palestine the sovereign republic status in semblance with establishment of the state of Israel would epitomize UN commitment to freedom and equality.
On that optimistic note,
Wishing Palestine and Israel a new beginning with peaceful co-existence and bi-lateral relations in the respective citizens and national interest.
Peace to all!
Thank you.

Palestine – UNGA Vote for Observer State Status
November 29, 2012
By Padmini Arhant
United Nations General Assembly is currently reviewing the Palestinian authority, President Mahmoud Abbas request for upgrade from non-member observer entity status to observer state status that would promote the world understanding of all members in global society worthy of respect and a life with dignity.
In this regard, Palestinian population has been deprived for over six decades with Israel invasion and military aggression up until now.
The inhumane conditions and ongoing hostility towards the people of Palestine has been brought to world attention on numerous occasions with a plea to end Israel’s unilateral excruciating blockade against Gaza alongside periodic aggravated assault resulting in infants, teenagers and women deaths prioritized to win the hearts and minds of Israeli electorate in the election war.
The pervasive combative environment in the entire occupied Palestinian territory robbing the children of Palestine the dreams for life with their family without fear of losing the members in either daily shooting or United States and western powers supplied and sponsored bombing prior to Israel’s electoral season could cease subsequent to Palestinian statehood recognition.
UNGA responsible action in accepting Palestine as a sovereign participant with the citizens’ rights to self-determination similar to the privileges enjoyed by Israeli citizens and western society considering their opposition to the Palestinian bid would legitimize UN as an international body transcending politics and influential powers superiority complex surfacing during Palestinian legal submission for statehood approval.
United States and Israel along with some western allies vehement protest to Palestinian natural right for freedom and sovereignty clarify the intention to prolong colonization in modern civilization exploiting the victims’ patience and endurance of more than sixty years of injustice.
The threats and intimidation tactics applied to subvert the process is yet another example of undemocratic principles exhibited by those representing the imperialistic agenda due to lack of accountability for their crimes against humanity.
Despite the political maneuvering to derail UNGA acknowledgment, the significant majority across the globe overwhelmingly calls for the United Nations members to grant Palestine the long overdue liberty – the inalienable right of every being on this planet.
The two state solution would also enable Israeli citizens peaceful co-existence disrupted from Israel’s ideology driven occupation goals embedded with permanent oppression in the meager land directly in violation of all laws that exist in a civilized world.
Israeli security is linked with treatment of neighbors especially the Palestinian citizens as equal for violence and terror would only yield synonymous response in self-defense given Israel’s disproportionate military and economic resources provided by United States and western power to maintain detrimental status quo.
Objectively, Israeli authority rejection of peace exemplified in refusal to follow general rule and UN resolutions together with Jewish unlawful settlement expansion posing impediments to Israel’s progress besides the ever increasing isolation from the rest of the world.
However, this situation could be reversed by changing course in pursuit of harmony beginning with adaptation to inevitable positive developments like Palestinian independence and honoring territorial integrity all around.
UNGA effectiveness is dependent upon resistance to United States, Israel and selective western powers counterproductive intrusions on international affairs with specific motive to undermine the legality and ethical efficacy of humanitarian law and UN Charter.
Above all UN members’ sovereign pledge for fairness and equality barring discriminatory practices in the decision-making aimed at particular segment viz. Palestinians in this instance would restore credibility to the organization role as a reliable entity.
UNGA could write a new chapter in history in moving forward rather than backward with unequivocal endorsement of peace enshrined in Palestine as an independent nation facilitating the success of two state solutions – the only pragmatic approach to ensure safety and long-term security for both Israel and Palestine.
Wishing UNGA members courage and solidarity in upholding human values and integrity with a resounding ‘Yes’ vote on the humanitarian issue affecting mankind.
Best Wishes to people in Palestine and Israel for good relations leading to mutual prosperity.
Peace to all!
Thank you.

Israel – Gaza Ceasefire Violation An Unnecessary Provocation
November 23, 2012
By Padmini Arhant
Despite ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas following Israeli aggression against infants, teenagers and elderly citizens in Gaza that claimed 160 innocent lives and left many wounded per official figures with unofficial report yet to ascertain death toll underneath the rubble,
Israel military option is also responsible for five Israeli citizens demise and few residents hurt in Southern Israel during eight days air and sea assault on besieged Gaza.
Soon after ceasefire, Israeli forces proceeded with violent arrests of 55 Palestinian peaceful protesters in the occupied West Bank for non-violent participation to support their extended families in Gaza when Israeli shelling continued more than a week.
Israel’s latest attack resulting in Gaza casualty – a twenty one year old farmer killed while at least seven others injured is unnecessary provocation to Israel, United States and western allies detriment already reflected in declining economy and overwhelming condemnation for western status quo.
Evidently Israel and United States determination to pursue violence as the means to exert authoritarianism and superiority have no concern for their respective citizens safety or business sector prospects seriously affected due to regional and international community perception holding Israel and United States leaderships for state sponsored terrorism in direct violation of humanitarian law and civil standard.
The global response to rein in hegemony ideology posing imminent danger to all irrespective of identity is required more than ever.
Citizens from all walks of life could come forward and demonstrate solidarity in several ways such as – enforcing BDS movement against Israel.
Boycott Divestment Sanctions and extend stance towards western powers including Gulf allies fomenting killing of vulnerable citizens in Palestine, Israel, Syria, Bahrain, Libya, Egypt, Yemen, Sudan, Somalia, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Ivory Coast, Mali, Nigeria, Ghana and Kenya…around the world.
Mexico – The drug war financed and fueled by United States through controversial ‘Fast and Furious’ program implicating U.S.Justice department has enormously suffered on economic and political front with nearly 50,000 lives lost and more reported on daily accounts devoid of world’s attention thus far.
Similarly, avoiding travel and on-line purchases related to consumer trade could have a dramatic effect on nations behind revoking peace accord.
Since existing international body viz. UNSC, ICC and other organizations are under hegemony control and influence granting impunity to perpetrators presumptuously proclaiming as the world authority to commit crimes against humanity,
The global society are burdened to restore peace and justice with personal involvement in declining goods and services essentially imposing trade embargo and effective measures regularly vetoed by offenders at the UN conforming to double standards on international matter.
Additionally, applying pressure on their governments to exercise sovereignty and denounce atrocity in Palestine, Bahrain, Syria, Libya, Saudi Arabia and in the above mentioned nations by Israel, U.S., U.K. Canada, France, Germany, Australia, New Zealand, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Turkey, Jordan – the facilitators and financiers of warfare is paramount to end the escalation of terror world over.
The instigation promoting current unrest throughout Middle East, Pakistan, Latin America and Africa is to accomplish unattainable goals by hegemony in the face of deep economic recession.
Western power departure from dialogue and diplomacy with fascination for warfare and continuous bloodshed is counterproductive and exemplify misguided mission.
Notwithstanding reality in the alarming suicide rates among U.S. armed forces having exponentially risen in correlation to prolonged occupation in Afghanistan and military incursions in Persian Gulf and South China sea.
Irrationality overriding prudence and diligence precipitate inevitable multi-dimensional national crises given western powers misplaced priority on interference in foreign internal affairs exploited for destabilization.
Israel and United States in particular are urged to exercise restraint and refrainment from stoking unfavorable sentiments towards western strategy visible among significant majority with strong consumer power.
Ceasefire brokered in Egypt is an international treaty binding on all sides in respect for life and attempts to sabotage peace plan would reiterate western preference for turmoil and an invitation to self-disaster.
Global resistance beginning immediately with boycott and peaceful dissent to hegemony policy depriving humanity peaceful existence is imperative to reverse the outcome.
Gaza ceasefire monitored to maintain calmness crucial for survivors recovery from carnage and destruction in Israel’s bombing last week.
The recommendations at grassroots level intended to curb further hostility from Israel based on present breach of ceasefire.
Supernatural intervention is best averted in upholding ceasefire that could perhaps mitigate consistent loss of credibility.
With sincere condolences to Gaza victims and empathy to Israeli citizens held hostage in the election war,
Wishing long lasting peace to Palestine and Israel.
Peace to all!
Thank you.

Palestine – Israel and Hamas Ceasefire Agreement
November 21, 2012
By Padmini Arhant
Congratulations! To people in Gaza and Israel along with leaderships in Egypt, Hamas and Israel for the ceasefire agreement reached in respect for life all around.
The ceasefire between Palestinian authority Hamas and Israel representatives brokered by Egypt President Mohammad Morsi is a preliminary step towards reconciliation on Palestinian and Israeli peaceful co-existence.
Although consolation and sympathy would not reverse the consequences from use of force suffered by the victims families,
The loss of lives in the last few days on both sides again disproportionately in Gaza involving infants and teenagers is a great human tragedy serving as a reminder to leaderships to renounce violence and utilize power for constructive purpose.
Political gains earned in improving lives through recognition of freedom, providing economic opportunity and social equality are honorable setting national precedence for a bright future shared amongst all.
Israel and Hamas treaty to end military aggression and retaliation respectively is an important milestone.
However, the real test remains in sustaining calmness resisting any temptation towards ceasefire violation that would also determine public trust expecting leadership to prioritize citizens life and safety on all sides over political agenda.
Israel leadership acceptance to open Gaza strip crossings facilitating people movement is a humane response and lifting naval blockade that has deprived Gaza residents normal living conditions would exemplify Israel’s commitment to recent accord.
Furthermore, provocation in terms of targeted assassinations of Hamas leaders or experimenting defense capability at civilian expense in Gaza could be substituted with acknowledgment of territorial integrity and legitimate political power with Hamas being the democratically elected government in Gaza.
Likewise Hamas persistence with peaceful negotiations replacing rocket firing would promote diplomacy required for the healing process in Gaza and Southern Israel.
The regional cooperation is equally essential demonstrating collective responsibility in ending Palestinian suffering with statehood and sovereignty that would guarantee long lasting security not only for Israel but entire Middle East.
Subsequently Israel and Palestine could focus on domestic issues and local development creating possibility for better bilateral relations and mutual economic prospects benefitting both states in the long term.
International community participation especially global citizens outpouring empathy was effective in halting the escalation of violence against Gaza.
Similarly peace activism in occupied Palestinian domain and Israel led to united front in drawing leaderships’ attention to the crisis.
The global solidarity could play a prominent role in two state solutions coming into fruition in November 2012 at the United Nations General Assembly transcending external intrusions for vested interests proved detrimental to citizens in Israel and Palestine thus far.
With deep appreciation for Egypt President Mohammad Morsi mediation alongside notable contributions from leaderships in Iran, Syria, Hezbollah in Lebanon and Russia among other nations,
Israel and Hamas governments’ consensus could be the beginning of the end of the decades old conflict.
Wishing success in the latest ceasefire evolving into a permanent environment for Palestine and Israel.
Peace to all!
Thank you.

Palestine – Israel Immediate Ceasefire Critical to Save Life on Both Sides
November 21, 2012
By Padmini Arhant
Israeli political leadership reluctance to ceasefire is contributing to mounting casualties in Gaza and few in Southern Israel.
Immediate ceasefire is critical to save lives on both sides allowing thousand and more injured in Gaza access to medical treatment currently not accessible due to Israel’s relentless air and sea assault targeting civilians with infants and teenagers among the rising death toll by the hour.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Minister for Military Affairs Ehud Barak along with Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman authorizing continuous bombing against people in Gaza are ignoring reality that they are effectively hurting their own citizens in Southern Israel under attack from rockets fired in retaliation to showering Israeli explosions on besieged Gaza.
The permanent relief from military aggression is not only imperative to protect lives but also necessary to avert potential catastrophe for Israel within society considering the latent public frustration regarding Prime Minister Netanyahu administration’s misplaced priority for Gaza invasion neglecting Israel’s dire economy reflected in the recent incidents involving Israeli citizens self immolation in public square.
Proceeding with onslaught would further damage Israel and western powers especially United States, United Kingdom, Canada, France, Germany, Australia and New Zealand…eligibility to participate as trustworthy partners in international affairs management.
Further escalating violence by inflicting death on unarmed defenseless civilians in Gaza could unnecessarily endanger United States and United Kingdom troops in the Persian Gulf including the respective nationals touring Middle East on pleasure or business trip subjected to risks and subsequent safe evacuation.
Israeli authorities air strikes aimed at the church under construction and Jewish settlers burning mosque in the occupied territory surprisingly has not been condemned by the religious hierarchy such as the Vatican although such reckless engagement against holy sites constitutes sacrilege in the highest order.
Meanwhile, Arab League missing in action shares similar non-commitment and merely limited to expression despite in possession of valuable bargaining chip i.e. freezing oil supply to Israel and western powers backing genocide upon failure to instantaneous ceasefire.
Since Israel’s massacre onset claiming lives disproportionately in Gaza and threatening Southern Israel residents safety in the Likud leadership’s bizarre attempt to display formidability guaranteeing national security evidently become the reason behind permanent tension denying Israel and Palestinians normal existence.
The procrastination in ending military operation only exacerbates Gazans and Israeli suffering that could be easily avoided through desperately required ceasefire.
Again behind the scenes maneuver between Israeli leadership and United States biased stance promotes delay rather than expediting peaceful resolution in order to prevent bloodshed in Gaza and consequently in Israel.
Global society on their part could persevere with non-violent protests applying pressure on governments especially the western leaderships responsible for their ‘unequivocal support’ to Prime Minister Netanyahu decision to maintain status quo specifically killing innocent children, women and elderly citizens in Gaza and likewise some deaths in Southern Israel.
Additionally the citizens around the world could come forward and boycott Israeli merchandise seeking termination of Israel’s naval blockade against Gaza and regular assassinations of Palestinian leaders in the state.
Palestinian civil society initiated non-violent dissent implementing Boycott Divestment Sanctions is yet another mechanism for world citizens to demonstrate solidarity given the United States consistent veto in UNSC legitimate actions against Israel’s constant violation of UN resolutions and international law.
The global efforts combined with Arab league delivery in deeds no longer restricted to words alone could bring Israel pre-emptive air raids to a grinding halt.
With sincere condolences to families and survivors of the deceased in the crime against humanity,
Wishing people in Gaza and Israel solace and courage to overcome the plight and speedy recovery of the wounded in the erroneous military intervention.
Peace to all!
Thank you.

Palestine – Israel Shelling in Gaza and Illegal Settlements in Al-Quds (East Jerusalem)
October 22, 2012
By Padmini Arhant
Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories viz. West Bank and East Jerusalem is carried out with militancy utilizing United States weapons and three billion dollars monetary aid to the state of Israel until today.
Over and above the generous economic assistance at U.S. taxpayers’ expense, recently the incumbent administration has extended additional 70 million dollars increasing the sovereign debt burden on U.S. citizens with severe austerity implemented to cut deficit,
Not excluding the current White House plan post election in cohort with Republican agenda to tamper CPI (Consumer Price Index) for artificial adjustment of social security payments due to retirees and those nearing retirement eventually resulting in social security privatization to bankers’ advantage.
Israel as the recipient of U.S. military and economic funds expends the artillery against unarmed civilians in besieged Gaza and finance encroachment of the remaining meager Palestinian land exerting ideological reason without being subjected to sanctions or accountability.
United States administration regardless of political affiliation unflinching allegiance through economic and military provisions while ignoring citizens’ domestic requirements emboldens Israel’s militarization and beleaguerment in Palestine.
Israel’s shelling of Gaza continues with the latest blockade on humanitarian relief involving Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) attack on the Finnish Ship Estelle seizing essential supplies and forcing the cruise liner to abort mission.
The encounter apparently not devoid of injuries and grave danger to passenger lives – many were reportedly humanitarian workers on board to alleviate Gazans plight.
The densely populated Gaza consisting 1.7-million inhabitants trapped in a tiny strip of land enduring daily bombing and oppression rendering life unbearable with the so-called civilized world especially the western powers preoccupation in decimation of Syria subsequent to Iraq and Libya.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu defended the government defiance of international law, Geneva conventions and humanitarian rules that are regularly imposed upon Syria, Iran, Lebanon and other nations regarded adversary by the prominent UNSC members in their justification of double standards despite the prevalent discriminatory practices posing credibility problem in international crises resolution.
Israeli authority determination to invalidate Palestinians as part of the human race demonstrated in yet another controversial measure.
The construction of 800 illegal settlements along with eight-story military academy underway in the internationally recognized Palestinian territory – Al-Quds (East Jerusalem) on United States and western allies watch could he interpreted as approval considering passivity restricted to superficial public statements not necessarily exemplified in action to deter Israel’s blatant human rights violation.
Contrarily, both United States and EU never waste an opportunity to convene UNSC emergency sessions declaring crippling economic and financial embargo to punish citizens in Iran, Syria or anyone considered impediments to their strategic and economic interests for hegemony global dominance.
Palestinian suffering exacerbated by the hour with United States and EU complicity in the absence of censure against Israel’s policy perpetuating aggression.
Hence, the international community is urged to come forward on humanitarian and ethical grounds rejecting the status quo in occupied Palestine with effective steps parallel to response towards South African apartheid regime i.e. boycott economic sources affecting revenues from tourism and trade facilitating authoritarianism and,
The conspicuous bias concerning political freedom, sovereignty, territorial integrity and rights to self-determination touted as the U.S. and western allies premise to destabilize Middle Easter states and region.
Israel honoring Palestinian rights ceasing issue of building permits in East Jerusalem and West Bank combined with evacuation of Jewish settlers – an estimated half a million volunteers from within Israel as well as Europe and United States since 1967 military invasion relocated to establish self-prophesized promised land against spiritual and international norm could potentially avert disaster on the horizon through cause and effect phenomena.
The illegal residents enticed with benefits and free housing in Palestinian land are perceived as economic opportunists resisting international pressure by violently targeting native Palestinians with ammunitions presumably supplied from United States destroying olive groves and livelihood in the area.
Humility generates compassion and patience tested beyond tolerance is self-detrimental for the origin leading to irreversible outcome.
Pragmatism subscribing to rational approach ceding colonization and reconciliation with reality i.e. acknowledgment of imminent Palestinian independence for peaceful two state co-existence is beneficial to all.
Wishing the peace activists success in liberating Palestine and restoring tranquility for Israeli and Palestinian progress.
Peace to all!
Thank you.

Global Straits – Hegemonic Terror, Greed and Corruption
July 26, 2012
By Padmini Arhant
Humanity confronted with three major straits emanating from hegemonic manufactured terror, greed driven policies epitomizing corruption and pervasive abuse of power undermining sovereignty and basic rights worldwide.
The hegemony ulterior motive being global dominance – self-destructive agenda premised on military might, economic austerity combined with income distribution inequality and corruption heightened by absolute power in feudalist system justifying empowerment of few and enslavement of the rest.
In exerting authoritarianism with first amendment rights suppression demonstrated in law enforcement brutality towards peaceful protesters, civil rights encroachment online and daily life surveillance, experience at airports all carried out under the guise of national security in the United States and trend replicated in regions under globalists control,
The extreme power rejects constitutionality behind governance implementing counterproductive measures with inevitable failure.
Typically exemplified in Syrian conflict escalation with terrorism openly promoted to decimate a sovereign nation.
The trajectory in Iraq, Libya, Yemen, Bahrain and Egypt emboldened through generous military aid at average Americans expense continued in Syria.
Similarly nonchalant drone strikes in Pakistan and Afghanistan dismiss civilian casualties in the so-called war on terror.
Warfare is the mechanism for national and regional destabilization aimed at unlimited access to resources in that territory.
Militarization via permanent bases and controversial tactical weapons such as short and long range ballistic missiles ICBM with nuclear warheads perpetuate unwarranted tension necessitating disproportionate military spending at global population costs witnessed in Europe, United States, emerging and developing economies prioritizing massive defense budget instead of divestments in national economy and peace projects benefitting all.
Communication media in diverse form again exploited for propaganda and innuendoes against truth presenters and challengers standing up to status quo.
The varying degree from malaise aggressive attacks not excluding death threats,character defamation,discrediting authentic information with pseudo counteract creations to subtle and deceptive overtones supposedly angelic versions target individuals regarded arch nemesis for seeking productive peaceful solutions to problems attributed to those at the political,economic and societal helm.
Essentially the powerful forgetting the roots and background upon possession of clout pledge allegiance to global powers flawed policies depriving vast majority existence with dignity.
On the economic front,the widening gap between haves and have-nots exacerbated with strategies safeguarding selective interests from collective contribution denying meaningful remedies scope to alleviate if not avert crisis.
Bank bailouts in an effort to sustain private financial control over money supply and public assets adopted regardless of devastating ramifications on the people burdened with ultimate responsibility.
Not to mention national sovereignty compromise with facilitators viz. Central Banks, IMF, World Bank and prominent governments interference in economic and political decision making leading to subjugation.
Citizens as taxpayers bear the brunt absolving financial institutions accountability irrespective of them being actual recipients and defaulters in the deal.
Interestingly, regulations pertinent for checks and balances systematically removed from economic sector in the face of systemic violations on every account by corporations whether it is financial debacle or environment disasters – the erroneous actions directly affecting life and habitat.
Contrarily, corporations involvement in political process beginning with campaign finance and advance to drafting legislations favor corporate profiteering not necessarily shared among workforce evident in the stagnant unemployment data and,
Accordingly nor generating tax revenues to boost economy and reduce fiscal woes of the nation.
Corruption is a global epidemic crippling nations with strong opposition to civil society proposals for transparency and anti-graft laws to deter bribery in cash and kind inflicting immense misery.
Concurrently, tax evasions worth several trillion dollars in offshore havens by the affluent transcending denomination pose impediments in improving living standards especially hurting the middle class and lower income demography with large percentage in impoverished category forced to absorb bulk liability in the absence of effective means to contain and prevent imminent financial structure collapse.
Swiss banks, Singapore and many island destinations enabling money laundering and hoarding prohibit scrutiny under merchant-client privilege used as a barrier for nations to probe illegal transactions across international network.
Notwithstanding others like Indian political leaderships successfully barring investigation, impasse in passing bills on corruption and tax revenue recovery that could potentially save significant lives in India and elsewhere.
Social injustice is the culmination of abovementioned factors – Police State fortified with military prowess and excess force to curtail legitimate dissent on domestic and foreign policy endangering republic status.
Washington has been long broken and fixing scattered mirror pieces would not renew appearance or functionality.
The same scenario applicable to U.S. allies in Europe, Asia, Middle East and all around.
Hence starting afresh with members committed to serving electorate and nation at large reflected in track record for incumbents and new aspirants contesting election devoid of corporate and foreign funding along with comprehensive resolutions to all outstanding national and global issues would pave the way for desperately required change.
Political contenders are not pandering to relevant base as often projected in media hype during election year.
The tough stance on United States military interventions and easing pressure on corporations attracting Wall Street donations are appeasement of globalists plan to establish one world government in semblance with United Nations, European Union and crumbling euro zone as prototype for imperialistic quest.
These organizations i.e. UNSC, EU and Euro Zone represented by NATO have been instrumental in imposing economic sanctions and military operations with western powers as New World Order chief representatives consistently proliferate violence and quantify human suffering in Middle East, Europe and world over.
Supremacy has never prevailed in the past and hoping to triumph at present is chasing a dream that will never be a reality.
Wars waged under false pretext throughout history have resulted in cataclysmic repercussions and unilateral provocation or otherwise would be preemptive affecting the origin than rival.
Dismantling NATO and reorganizing UN General Assembly for inclusiveness extending membership to Palestinian state subsequent to granting statehood at the UN with full honor and alike decisively guarantee world peace.
Rationality overriding far-fetched ambition would restore credibility in sincere participation towards political stability and prosperity across the globe.
People power could no longer remain dormant in the ever-rising threat to freedom and democracy.
Solidarity at the national and global level against divide and conquer principle would foster resolve to overcome invasion in any respect.
Optimism and dedication to the cause would provide victory.
Peace to all
Thank you.

April 23, 2012
By Padmini Arhant
Palestinian freedom struggle since the establishment of the state of Israel on May 14, 1948 has been through trials and tribulations with peace talks and negotiations especially by United States serving Israel’s exclusive interests prolonged suffering and facilitated territorial conquest diminishing prospects for two states solution – the aggressors’ precise agenda.
Israel’s hardliners and conservative religious factions in the United States sharing self-prophesized conviction in anticipation of fantasy fulfillment exacerbated Palestinian plight with militarization of meager territory.
Israeli colonization following 1967 invasion of Palestinian land including Golan Heights in Syria and persecution thereafter has been limited to worldwide reaction,
However. not subjected to similar actions against invariably non-western nations for any violation of the so-called international law.
Iraq – when the former President Saddam Hussein submitted to globalists decoy and invaded Kuwait in 1990 – U.S. led military intervention again with mass deception (WMD) claiming Iraqi babies were thrown out of incubators in the Hospital and,
Kuwait Ambassador to the United States – the daughter posing as mainstream victim was coached to perform to Congress for U.S. taxpayer funding of the war.
Subsequently the U.S. administrations successively imposed economic sanctions on Iraq despite Iraq withdrawal from Kuwait.
Other scenarios comprising U.S. trade embargo against nations condemned for various activities deemed illegal and criminal by U.S. and allies not surprisingly located in Asia, Latin America, Africa and Middle East leaving the west sacrosanct considering the role played thus far as the architects of chaos, carnage and destruction across the globe.
North Korea – indefinite sanctions with no serious engagement in constructive dialogue although the late Premier Kim Jong IL requested direct dealings with United States stating voluntary nuclear disarmament in 2010 and 2011 – only to be ignored by the United States.
India and Pakistan – Sanctions under former President Bill Clinton for conducting nuclear tests – a privilege granted only to nuclear states such as USA, Israel, UK and France… either having used nuclear weapons or continue to use them in the form of depleted uranium witnessed in Iraq and white Phosphorous bombing in Gaza in 2009.
Both USA and Israel refused to sign non-NPT (Nuclear Proliferation Treaty) – the argument India and Pakistan maintains in non-cooperation concerning NPT.
Post Vietnam War – the stringent measures against then rivals crippled economies in that region.
Latin America – any nation unwilling to surrender to United States unreasonable terms and conditions are targeted with coup d’état.
Africa – Global corporations governing the continent for natural resource exploitation control the political system.
However, South Africa – the apartheid regime was brought down with sanctions and international pressure initially resisted by United States and western powers viz. United Kingdom, Australia and Canada.
Contemporarily Iran and Syria face the wrath of imperialistic discretion.
Middle East – Iran is struck with SWIFT termination – depriving the Islamic Republic financial services network to process trade payments in vilification for alleged nuclear program.
With the exception of South Africa due to global dissent on racial discrimination – the western nations are by and large absolved from crimes against humanity in spite of being responsible for the status quo.
Palestinian effort in the dismal failure of partisan peace treaty overwhelmingly favoring Israel with the exception of Oslo accord – the agreement conveniently discarded by Israel has contributed to the civil society creation of BDS.
BDS – Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions that began in 2005 is under tremendous assault arguably for the effectiveness on the oppressor and agents paving the path to deplorable conditions adversely affecting millions of lives forcing youth population to succumb to undesirable options – committing suicide or becoming potential terror recruit in the beleaguered Palestinian state.
Fortunately, the latter alternative has been lately abandoned to a large extent with commitment to non-violence protests through BDS pursued in ending the occupation for Palestinian liberation.
As for credibility with boycott adaptation – not long ago non-violence (Ahimsa) pioneer – Mahatma Gandhi boycotted goods restricting profitability for colonial power to eliminate atrocity and eventually enabled India to challenge colonialism.
To summarize BDS impact on Palestinian cause – Israeli authorities disproportionate investments in discrediting BDS with a portfolio assigned for this purpose alongside media propaganda evidently rocking the boat demanding compliance to legitimate peace plan outlined on numerous occasions earlier.
Israel might be the presumed economic and military power with the superpower United States at beckon call –
The inevitable change leading to the beginning of the conclusion of hegemonic era could no longer be evaded by orthodox or unconventional means conforming to the reality –
The rise and fall of mighty empires is testimony to mankind rejection of natural law.
BDS – upon being organized diligently promoting awareness dedicated to Palestinian independence in solidarity would deliver the imminent outcome.
Good Luck! To the peaceful and non-violent campaign for free Palestine.
Israeli moderate thinkers and peace activists pledging support to BDS set precedence in modern revolution for universal liberty, equality and justice.
Peace to all!
Thank you.

March 28, 2012
By Padmini Arhant
Warm Greetings! To world leaders at the Nuclear Security Summit 2012 in Seoul, South Korea.
This is an important event providing an opportunity to share and discuss global security concerns from nuclear arsenal.
The lingering tensions between Israel and Iran on the Islamic Republic’s nuclear program is the bone of contention with United States as Israel’s strong ally having imposed crippling sanctions and disabled SWIFT freezing financial payments services on trade to exacerbate Iran’s economic conditions are pre-emptive measures in the long desired global confrontation.
Similarly closer to summit venue in the Korean peninsula – North Korea announcement to launch satellite into orbit and rocket positioning creating anxiety among neighbors and U.S. strategic partners South Korea and Japan.
Iran and North Korea participation rather than isolation in the summit would have been prudent in fostering constructive dialogue and meaningful solutions to impending nuclear issues.
Inclusion not exclusion transcending politics and ideology is crucial for global peace and harmony.
Within Asia, U.S promoted India’ s nuclear power project with enriched uranium supply from United States has prompted nuclear state Pakistan across the Indian border to pursue equivalent deal for formidability in Fissile Material Cut-Off Treaty (FMCT) vis-à-vis India as predicted escalating nuclear arms race in the region.
Not to mention the nuclear developments via nuclear energy in the Indian sub-continent extending further into China – another nuclear state adjusting potential to meet with changing nuclear weapons status emanating from U.S. initiative.
The situation also facilitates U.S. and NATO military operation premised on deterrence against Pakistan’s militant groups from gaining access to nuclear arsenal forming a never ending cycle in the indefinite mission for global dominance.
In the western front – United States presence through NATO expansion in Eastern Europe with missile defense system perceived as provocative stance by Russia considering the proximity and installation directed at Russia.
Accordingly Russia’s proactive defense shield strategy related to ICBM (Intercontinental Ballistic Missile) besides U.S. tactical weapons and short-range missiles continues to arouse skepticism on both sides sparking a comment from Russian President Dmitry Medvedev during recent Euro-Atlantic security conference in Moscow calling for Euro-Atlantic security community to evolve from myth into reality.
Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) comprising Russia and Central Asian countries membership to counteract NATO and U.S. aspirations in oil and natural gas rich territories along with U.S. declared plan at the Seoul summit to expand missile shield strategy in Asia and Middle East is yet another dimension to twenty first century global security challenge.
United States – the nuclear state with significant nuclear weapons in possession is non-signatory to NPT (Non-Proliferation Treaty),
Notwithstanding history depicting U.S. – the only nation to have used nuclear arsenal – Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan.
Lately, in Iraq war U.S. and coalition partner United Kingdom dropped bombs containing depleted uranium with devastating generational impact on health and environment.
United States, United Kingdom and France have repeatedly asserted all options against Iran.
Regardless, they claim themselves responsible nuclear nations while condemning those deemed adversaries nuclear technology for medical isotopes in cancer treatment or,
Subscribing to western catered nuclear energy program – the precedence set by existing nuclear powers in the world utilizing nuclear energy as the pretext for nuclear weapons advancement.
Middle East – Israel’s nuclear status widely known but not acknowledged by the state and western allies in the absence of IAEA or UN inspection and verification.
Israel took enormous pride in the acquisition of Iron Dome – supposedly the marvel in intercepting missiles and experimented the effectiveness with extra-judicial execution of Palestinian leader Zuhair al-Qaisi, the Secretary General of the Popular Resistance Committees in the Gaza Strip late March 2012 expecting victims’ retaliation subsequent to casualties including civilians in total 24 killed from this mock attack.
In return the rockets hitting southern Israel from Gaza were reportedly intercepted in a timely manner by Iron Dome resulting in no loss of lives on Israeli side.
Israel exercise with Iron Dome at the expense of some innocent Palestinian lives apparently in preparation for unilateral strike against Iran and after ascertaining Iron Dome capability,
The jingoism for catastrophic action against Iran disregarding global ramifications is subversive and counterproductive.
Furthermore, Israeli intelligence agency Mossad and CIA have confirmed that Iran has no nuclear weapons and without any progress in enhancement.
The U.S. military high command and intelligence are stated to be in agreement with the status quo.
In light of these facts from Israel and United States intelligence sources, the fervor on warfare in the volatile Middle East amid U.S. troops lives at stake in all directions is an invitation to disaster.
International community deserves valid explanation for the unnecessary turmoil via sanctions against Iran with no evidence of nuclear upgrade and frivolous moratorium on Iranian oil exports hurting average citizens and businesses around the world.
The potent tools – trade embargo and military intervention against targets for global dominance is the existential terror endangering life and habitat.
Israel also condemned for using white phosphorous in densely populated areas during December 2008 bombing of Gaza. The findings in UN report by Justice Richard Goldstone were never honored by United States and Israel till date.
Contrarily United States warned nations importing Iranian crude oil with economic sanctions suggesting any violation would have serious repercussions and obtained ten European nations and Japan’s compliance to U.S. demand while others like India proportionately cut back oil imports from Iran and mulling over alternative sources and costs to meet with substantial domestic energy consumption.
The hierarchy among nuclear and non-nuclear states with distinction such as responsible vs. reckless raises credibility factor highlighting hypocrisy on those nations part responsible for arbitrary engagement in widespread nuclear material distribution to forge strategic alliance aimed at global showdown.
Nuclear security summit is a golden opportunity for unanimous consensus on unconditional nuclear disarmament by all nuclear states without exception and pledging in solidarity for immediate implementation of nuclear arsenal disposal not excluding fissile material in individual stockpiles stored under nuclear energy production.
Non-nuclear states reaffirmation as NPT signatories would be impetus for others to follow suit.
Independent international committee with nuclear experts, ethicists and legal professionals alongside IAEA could begin the process to establish central monitoring of nuclear sites for systematic and simultaneous surrender incorporating checks and balances to evaluate delivery efficiency.
Above all accountability to address obligatory failure irrespective of stature would serve common interest.
Nuclear power program camouflaged to accelerate nuclear ambition is the tradition best abandoned especially with viable alternatives like solar, wind, and hydroelectric energy available in abundance.
The schism in government mishandling of Fukushima nuclear melt down is exposure on non-disclosure – latest reports reveal deliberate act in withholding public safety information by deleting emails and other sources with a red flag on imminent humanitarian crisis.
In conclusion nuclear free zone is the only guaranteed security to humanity.
Wishing success to all nations activists in denuclearization of the world.
Perhaps Seoul Nuclear Security Summit 2012 could be the torchbearer of permanent peace eliminating nuclear weapons from the planet.
Peace to all!
Thank you.
