United States – Abuse of Executive Power

March 5, 2017

By Padmini Arhant

The abuse of executive power at every opportunity in the United States more so since the beginning of the twenty first century under former President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney is no surprise. The customary practice adapted and taken to the extreme level by ex-President Barack Obama is irrefutable.

Any claims that Barack Obama administration cardinal rule was not to indulge in wiretapping of any U.S. citizen is not true considering personal experience and actions such as surveillance act including phone, email and all other form of communications under NSA purview subjecting United States citizens to scrutiny with and without congressional consensus was the norm.

Why there is no investigation in the shooting of unarmed civilian – the young black mother Miriam Iris Carey with her thirteen months old daughter Erica in the back seat on October 3rd, 2013 at the White House doorstep denying the victim a chance to leave unhurt from the crime scene with guns aimed at her by White House secret service and D.C. police?

The preventable incident sparing life unnecessarily resulted in fatality could not be happening without Presidential order.

Miriam Iris Carey perhaps had wiretapping in her apartment with all her normal activities monitored by designated crew violating United States citizen’s privacy and constitutional right only to be dismissed as delusional supposition.

The legislations Patriot Act, FISA and introduction of NDAA under Barack Obama administration peaked in the absence of checks and balances to such undemocratic and unprincipled misuse of power.

United States citizens’ vulnerabilities in the wake of excess extra judicial power exponentially risen in modern times leaving targeted individuals completely at the mercy of the authority accountable to none.

The contemporary trend in massive collusion protecting the crimes of previous administrations regardless of the extent and involvement in carte blanche decisions further exacerbates democratic means to probe and conduct inquiry.

Not to mention bipartisanship in such matter that otherwise ominously missing in legislations of national and electorate interest is a tradition for the nation to contend with given media defense and political immunity absolving administrations and the head from any responsibility.

These developments arguably raise concerns and stupefy those having any faith in the system to deliver impartially setting aside political affiliations and pledges to internal as well as external operatives reining control over outcome on congressional and FBI inquest.

When arch conservatives alongside so-called liberal democrats consecutively represent Senate with guaranteed power having no term limits, the Super Pac prominence supersede electability deducing election nothing other than a formality.

The concept of democracy has long been subjugated with subversion and complicity within and outside politics shunning transparency to the point of no return.

In the attempt to rescue high profile entities implicated in serious infringements, the legislative branch and communication media role exhausted to maintain status quo declining reform.

The misinterpretation of power in any position especially in public service is a major political crisis leading to unacceptable breach of ethical code and civic trust.

The remedy is to apply the rule of none held above the law.

Thank you.

Politics – Public Service or Gold Mine?

February 18, 2017

 

By Padmini Arhant

Politics – Public Service or Gold Mine?

Choosing political career and joining the government would be normally considered a sense of duty to serve constituents, district, state, nation and the world at large.

The meaning of Public Service leading to the term public servant is regarded derogatory by members in government. Instead the designation preference is authority and powerful entity or lawmakers even when they are lawbreakers with no respect for rule of law and ethics they enforce on citizens of the state.

Not surprisingly, the recruits in the administration are usually the ones committed to not necessarily serving the nation but the head of the administration and in most instances the spouse in particular.

How does one explain the wealth acquisition among White House staff with annual salary $172,200 and upon exit at the end of the term their net worth is millions of dollars? The same would apply to members of Congress as well.

Are they all born with silver spoon and pledged to serve the country?

In that case, shouldn’t they bequeath their wealth alleviating economic disparity?

Unless, the situation is other way around.  The primary purpose is to make hay when the sun shines and in politics it happens rain or shine – the perennial season.

How about the administration using IRS to intimidate political opponents or organizations for partisan agenda?

While protecting administration members in serious violation of tax evasions and tax fraud.

The administration of the former President Barack Obama hired White House Staff have done remarkably well considering the Hope and Change platform enabling the victory in 2008.

Synopsis on public service guaranteed wealthy status.

In 2012, the ex-President Barack Obama White House members on annual salary $172,200 or more net worth were as follows;

Susan Rice – $20 million plus

Valerie Jarrett – $3.3 million to $13 million

Christopher Lu – $2.3 million and $5.2million

David Plouffe – $3.6 million

Jay Carney – $3.2 million

Dan Pfeiffer –   $2.1million

Just a few names among several for whom politics apparently is a gold mine.

No wonder the selective choices effectively compete in the gold rush.

Politics and Media Relations

February 17, 2017

By Padmini Arhant

How does Politics manage media relations?

Through wedding and pre-nuptial agreement. Marry media and bury the hatchet. 

In the former President Barack Obama administration – the media relation, a family affair. 

ABC News executive producer Ian Cameron is married to Susan Rice, former National Security Adviser in former President Barack Obama administration – This explains the sweep and mop strategy exercised in misleading American public on Benghazi scandal. 

CBS President David Rhodes is the brother of Ben Rhodes, Barack Obama’s Deputy National Security Adviser for Strategic Communications – Master stroke not to report on Ben Rhodes email elaborating coverup on Benghazi debacle.

ABC News correspondent Claire Shipman is married to former Whitehouse Press Secretary Jay Carney

ABC News and Univision reporter Matthew Jaffe is married to Katie Hogan, Obama’s Deputy Press Secretary

ABC President Ben Sherwood is the brother of Obama’s Special Adviser Elizabeth Sherwood

CNN President Virginia Moseley is married to former Hillary Clinton’s Deputy Secretary Tom Nides – No wonder there was all praise regardless of Benghazi, private email server and political excess baggage. 

Is this not a conflict of interest?  

Who is to report when the source was outsourced to serve political interest.

Politics and cronyism evolved to become inseparable entity defending any indefensible position.

United States – Post Election 2016 Sentiments

November 12, 2016

United States – Post Election 2016 Sentiments

By Padmini Arhant

Any contest has a winner and a loser. In a civilized setting the victor expresses gratitude and credit those enabling victory rather than owning success to self that demonstrates humility especially in a contentious political campaign.

On the other hand, the loser would acknowledge own shortcomings and trajectory contributing to failure and concede gracefully without any scapegoat to lay the blame.

Moreover, the unsuccessful outcome is also largely related to dissatisfaction with incumbency and often confirmed in electoral backlash as a message to the leadership and political party in power at that time. 

For instance, the 2008 Presidential election was guaranteed to go against then President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney administration and republican party considering avalanche of problems and grave mistakes transformed into serious crisis.

The post-election protests this year with the slogan – Not Our President should have been there in the previous term and earlier on to justify democracy. The elected or selected choices to the White House and members of congress are yet to be the President and representative of the electorate and constituents facilitating their entry and re-election in politics that is sworn allegiance to campaign donors, special interests and syndicate reining control over the political system.

The norm thus far is voters and those considered useful to climb the ladder are solicited during election and as happened in 2008 post democratic primary, the nominee’s spouse demand to go door to door and beg voters to vote for them in condescendence defined individual character and cultural distinction.

Upon reaching the top, the ladder is kicked off from behind only to realize later that the same ladder is required to remain where they are and for those aiming higher altitude.

Politics not regarded as public service instead become a country club with privileged membership. The chosen members elevated to celebrity status with political impunity regardless of crimes that are not even recognized as such in the exclusive society.

In a way, the human nature eclipsed in self-centeredness, ego and presumptuousness forced to learn a lesson or two in life.  Some learn from such experience and others don’t repeating the trend much to self-detriment.

Whenever anybody use others and be user friendly for self-interest, they are unable to deal with self-inflicted injury and setbacks in any endeavor.

Politics premised on disguise and deception is no longer able to mislead all at the same time.  The actions speak louder than teleprompter messages with business as usual maintained misinterpreting electoral mandate as political capital to appease anti-humanity forces squandering tax payer funds in sponsoring terrorism and foreign aid to governments engaged in oppression and persecution of innocent population, human rights violation besides fomenting violence in the region.

In the domestic front, the tax exemption to wealthiest and mandatory health insurance subscription on lower income category and demography struggling to make ends meet in a sluggish economy verifies the outgoing administration misplaced priority. These are few among many other issues that clarifies who they represent upon assuming term in office.

So the protests with Not Our President and should also read Not Our Congress slogans aptly apply to such tradition in the oval office and Capitol Hill.

The contemporary practice to claim someone else’s  positive features and fruits of labor as own typically IDENTITY THEFT  and distortion of the same person’s profile, background and real life is desperate attempt seeking desperate tactics to vent frustration on debacle.

Not surprisingly politics is far from renouncing anything counterproductive despite ominous warnings and consistent disappointments on beaten track.

It might take a village to raise a child and evidently in politics many and money required to pull anything from rabbit ears to trick electorate ultimately tricking the tricksters in the game.

The combined influence using media and press coverage via glorified and exaggerated editorials together with political establishment and secret society backed candidacy not prevailing in the election 2016 substantiates not to count chickens before they are hatched without certainty on hen and chickens’ survival.

Notwithstanding declining clout amongst powerful disconnected from truth and reality.

The sentiments subsequent to election 2016 results are reactions displayed in the absence of reflection on political actuality refusing awakening.

Peace to all!

Thank you.

World – Women Leaderships representing Political Establishment Pose Serious Threat to Global Security and Progress

November 7, 2016

Women Leaderships representing Political Establishment Pose Serious Threat to Global Security and Progress

By Padmini Arhant

Women leaderships representing political establishment, secret society and syndicate promote violence, terrorism, nuclear threats, political instability, humanitarian crisis,poverty, economic and social disparity and last but not the least corruption prompted criminal investigations evaded due to immunity.

Synopsis on catastrophe inflicted on the world population by women leaderships representing secret society and political dynasty presented here.

Women’s rise to power ordinarily an extraordinary feat.  However, in politics the status made possible through privileged and political connectivity.

Women leaderships mostly borne out of parental lineage and marital basis around the world conforming to inheritance of power demonstrably weakened women’s stature in leadership role. In politics women pursuing power more symbolic than substantive considering egregious decisions and cavalier approach adopted for individual and vested interests.

Women acquiring position in politics as head of the nation proved prone to abuse of power contrary to womanhood qualities like compassion, care, prudence and responsible conduct. The reason behind trajectory is addiction to power and fame undermining values and rationality making them no different from their male counterpart in that category.

Regardless of region whether west or east, the trend among women political leaderships thus far has contributed to violence, warfare, corruption scandals, political instability, economic chaos and lately terrorism not barring nuclear option frivolously used ignoring serious repercussions from such reckless disposition.

United States is preparing to elect a woman candidate with a track record on corruption scandals such as Whitewater and participation in foreign coups overthrowing democratically elected governments in developing nations exacerbating women, youth and children plight from political turbulence. The political career marred with activities and underhanded tactics including fostering terrorism causing loss of American and scores of innocent civilian lives is not a negligible involvement.

The democratic candidate Hillary Clinton violations of human rights, breach of trust and misuse of public office not surprisingly welcome to those keen on maintaining business as usual.  The democrat candidate Hillary Clinton election would be to serve the bidders and investors in her political campaign besides secret society and not the electorate and the country at large.

As Senator and Secretary of Stateboth posts resulting from political negotiations and wrangling, the democrat candidate Hillary Clinton spared no moments to exercise excessive authority and aggressive means for destructive purpose.

The foreign policy under Secretary of State Hillary Clinton became the death sentence for millions of civilians in Libya, Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, Ukraine and population in Africa and Latin America.

Accordingly, the trepidation among victims on the possibility of democrat candidate Hillary Clinton re-entering the White House for fifth term in office is a major humanitarian concern.

The concept of election having been reversed to selection with pre-determined choice, the electorate upended subsequent to casting their ballots to establishment and secret society candidacy.

The vote for such candidate is a deliberate mistake leaving the economy, security and importantly peace at stake.

The highlights on women leaderships authorizing violence, turmoil, political unrest and economic decline.

Beginning with current members the following women leaders might have gained prominence in political arena at the same time instigated pain and misery with no regrets for their action.

UNITED STATES – The democrat Presidential candidate – Hillary Clinton. The entry in politics facilitated by spouse’s position as Governor of Arkansas and later as President of the United States.  The candidate Hillary Clinton politics is money, mistrust and mayhem. The summary on Secretary of State Hillary Clinton clarifies power exploitation for personal gains with no respect for laws and life in general.

——————————————————————————————————————————————-

UNITED KINGDOM – The Brexit vote on EU membership terminated incumbency replaced with yet another woman leadership in Britain from the conservative party aka Tory.  Prime Minister Theresa May willingness towards nuclear confrontation confirmed during Parliament question session is alarming in context with nuclear meltdown. Nuclear armament claimed necessary as deterrent apparently reserved as exclusive rights amongst nuclear powers especially the ones complicit in the use of nuclear components as NATO ally viz. Britain on civilians in Iraq, Libya and recently in Syria. The same argument was dismissed during Iran’s nuclear deal in Vienna in 2015 at the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) noting the glaring double standards on nuclear entitlements escalating tension in the world. 

Although the nuclear topic merits discussion on entirety, the reality deserves concentration.

Britain’s predecessor, Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher referred to as the Iron Lady led the nation to war in South Atlanticbetter known as Falklands for Britain and Islas Malvinas for Argentina arguably disputed until today. Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher conservatism or Thatcherism sparked controversy on many issues including economic plan that left the poor poorer marginalizing vulnerable segments in society. Many remarks from Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher caught world attention and among them were the reference to developing nations as barbaric and on immigration, the woman Prime Minister initiated virginity test on women immigrants into Britain from India and other destinations definitely marked the irony.

———————————————————————————————————————————————-

GERMANY – the first female Chancellor Angela Merkel of Christian Democratic Union (CDU), the conservative faction with religious connotation absent Christian principles under incumbent Merkel’s leadership lay emphasis on European Union (EU), European Central Bank (ECB) governing euro currency in euro zone and International Monetary Fund (IMF) along with major international banks as parallel power.

Chancellor Angela Merkel avid advocacy for ECB, IMF and international banks packaged economic and monetary policy premised on austerity demanding fiscal responsibility from euro members in the face of severe economic crisis and soaring unemployment in Portugal, Italy, Ireland, Greece and Spain (PIGS) protracted financial and economic woes experienced until now.

Chancellor Angela Merkel cart blanche role using political threats in the aftermath of Greece public referendum with resounding no on austerity produced resignations from key figures in Greece ruling party in agreement with Greek voters’ option. Chancellor Angela Merkel overture in this instance had no respect for Greece sovereignty.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel representation more of EU than Germany conspicuous in EU vote to lift ban on weapons supply to terror networks in Syria, Iraq and Libya instead of extending arms embargo that could have saved thousands of lives besides averting refugee problems to which Chancellor Merkel explicitly denied asylum to millions forced to leave war torn Syria, Iraq and Libya.

Furthermore, Chancellor Angela Merkel defense contract and arms delivery to Saudi Arabia and nuclear laden submarine as a gift to Israel – the two states central in fomenting terror in the Middle East exemplify indifference to Saudi Kingdom’s human rights abuse using violence and women in particular and similarly Palestinian suffering in Israel occupied Palestine.

The focus on rest will continue shortly.

Thank you.

United States – Politics in Disguise prolonging Establishment Rule

November 5, 2016

By Padmini Arhant

United States political system allowing only two political parties with any third party remaining the fringe factions to technically aid the pre-determined choice is the contemporary practice.

The trend adapted following 1992 Presidential race with then third party candidate the self-made billionaire Ross Perot securing 17% votes in national election cost the incumbent President George Herbert Walker Bush (Sr.) losing to then Presidential candidate Bill Clinton.

The democratic Presidency did not necessarily resist wars with NATO dissemination of Baltic region under the pretext of eliminating authoritarian rule and overthrow of people choice leaderships and governments not in compliance with neo-liberalization policy for corporate ventures in poor and developing countries like Haiti in western hemisphere and Latin America.

Again the democratic Presidency was poised to privatize social security towards the end of second term in 1999 only distracted with Lewinsky sex scandal that led to impeachment. In a way this was divine intervention to halt the egregious decision hurting millions of Americans, the retired and baby boomers alike upon the notion coming into fruition.

When behind the scenes operatives controlling the office of Presidency felt the urgent need to initiate and launch the pre-meditated plan the Project for New American Century (PNAC), their choice of candidacy was someone willing to go more than a mile in the devious course to invade and occupy foreign nations for economic and strategic interests. In other words, they sought proxy Presidential candidate George W. Bush (Jr.) accompanied by actual Presidential candidate Dick Cheney as Vice President.

The Presidential election in 2000 had a third party candidate supposedly the anti-corporate and Wall Street critic Ralph Nader as independent contender essentially assisting the Republican nominee George W. Bush(Jr.) against the Democratic nominee Al Gore. 

The third party in political structure surfacing only during election has been enabling the pre-selected nominee’s position representing the major political party. They are facilitators representing the same forces that reins control over the two party and periphery in politics.

In 2004, the Presidential race was designed to favor then incumbent the Republican President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney to continue with the momentum of wars and economic blunders.

Again in terms of Congress, the democrats gained majority in mid-term election with events unfolding against the Republican Presidency at the White House.  The foreign and domestic policy were maintained much to citizens’ plight at home and abroad.

In 2008, the democratic candidacy had an advantage over the republican contender due to predecessor’s track record.

The question arises – Did the democratic Presidency refrain from unwanted and unnecessary involvement in foreign land?

The two term democratic Presidency expedited foreign invasion exceeding the strategists’expectations through terror sponsoring, funding and training the so-called moderate terror groups nonetheless are terror networks to topple governments overseas conforming to PNAC agenda.

In the domestic front, the democratic Presidency in 2008 came to power with democrats in majority at the House and Senate.  Yet somehow, the health care reform for Universal health care without exacerbating average citizens’ economic woes experienced now was not desirable and instead passed the health insurance and health care industry recommended legislation with results seen in the present time that has health insurance premiums rising by 25% and health care costs on the increase as well.

To add insult to injury in the health care legislation, the blue dog democrats positioned as conservative democrats opposed the funding for women’s reproductive concerns and treatment with the White House making concessions in that regard to accommodate the democratic segments demand.

As for the democratic Presidency in the past two terms along with democrats in the house and Senate claiming to be opposed to tax cuts for wealthy is a misnomer. They did exactly the opposite i.e. rather than letting Bush tax cuts to wealthy expire in 2010, they extended the policy perhaps to protect self-political aspirations for re-election.

On immigration issuethe current administration deportation of 2 million undocumented immigrants soon after resuming power in second term may not be the headlines or topic of discussion, however the facts cannot be dismissed to suit political preference.

In 2012, the Presidential race debated less on failure to deliver the hope and change promised in 2008 with more on the opponent’s Mormon religion making the entire election process nothing but a ritual to satisfy public. The reason being the secret society decision always upheld to maintain status quo regardless of party lines whether democrat or republican.

Fast forward in 2016, the race snowed down with sex scandals against the other candidate while the chosen candidate granted a free pass in the face of flagrant violations and abuse of power and status throughout political career.

The unprecedented setting this time around is the controversial media  FOX news, networks and press across the spectrum editorializing the event as a done deal to coronate the pre-selected candidate ignoring every scandals implicating the democratic candidacy clarifies the collusion to upend electorate.

Furthermore, in the wake of more revelations against democratic candidacy linked to private email server besides several involvements causing loss of American and foreign citizens lives simply laughed at during press interview and congressional hearing describes the empathy or the lack thereof in a candidate poised to be leader of the free world.

The democratic candidate’s spouse ad hoc meeting with head of Justice Department i.e. the serving Attorney General on the airport tarmac preventing disclosure to electorate while campaign slogan declaring the candidacy to be believed as strong and trustworthy leadership undermines electorate discretion.

What voters need to understand is permanent power maneuvered dysfunctional system using two party mechanism alongside third party cooperation to sabotage potential disruption in the pre-calculated outcome.

The present republican nominee Donald Trump’s stance on immigration obviously does not correlate with reality considering the contestant’s professional undertaking in real estate industry expanding into hospitality sector that predominantly employs Latino population has created job opportunities and in return benefitted the nominee as well.

The election hype in an effort to pandering to the base or certain groups does not change the background.  Latino voters fear of being deported that actually materialized recently under democratic administration in the second term also explains the political shades changing colors for expediency.

The fact of the matter is both red and blue in politics governed by self and vested interests pledge allegiance to campaign investors, incognito power and political party with little or no respect for electorate will.

Unless the veil of secrecy and privileged status is lifted, the political apparatus would be run amuck in the absence of transparency and accountability.

Politics denied a break from dynasty and establishment rule declining the nation republic governance.

The no choice is offered as the only choice in election that need not be accepted for the sake of exercising the democratic right.

Peace to all!

Thank you.

Synopsis on track record depicting reality and potential threat to peace, global security and humanitarian cause.

The highlight on Presidential candidacy currently exempt from scrutiny.

Should democracy bow to political apparatus endangering lives and human rights?

Politics and Infidelity – The conjoined factor

By Padmini Arhant

Infidelity is the norm since politics emergence and continues until today with plain hypocrisy.

The chronicle on infidelity among members in politics on all sides goes back as early as 18th century.

However, the recent episodes deserve attention considering the hype and melodrama in contemporary politics.

Starting with elite and privileged club members rendezvous in Bohemian Grove, 65 miles north of San Francisco, California, USA is an annual event in July. The lewd activities promoting voyeurism, philander and pedophilia is accompanied by bizarre rituals burning human and child effigy forbid public focus.

In March 2008, New York Governor Eliot Spitzer steps down after sex scandal. Governor Eliot Spitzer, the democrat and Super delegate in the party resigned after exposure in prostitution scandal. The news reports coverage highlighted that Governor Eliot Spitzer had patronized an elite escort service run by Emperors Club VIP.

Eliot Spitzer subsequently hired by CNN as television host that included issues linked to character and chastity.

The successor David Paterson as the Governor of New York admits infidelity after being sworn in to replace scandal scarred Eliot Spitzer. The newly appointed Governor David Paterson’s spouse Michelle Paterson adultery also comes to light at the same time.

Former President Bill Clinton sex scandals long been referenced serving as a reminder on politics and infidelity the conjoined factor until now in present Presidential election.

The former Presidential contender democrat Jessie Jackson also referred to as reverend having come to the aid of fellow democrat President Bill Clinton during the scandalous moment could not escape spotlight on own extramarital arrangement.

The democrat Presidential candidate Gary Hart in 1987 ended his campaign upon disclosure on infidelity over a period of time.

Similarly, the ex- Presidential candidate democrat Senator John Edwards dropped out of 2008 Presidential race following news on his ongoing affair unfolding in the middle of the campaign.

Massachusetts Senator and ex- Presidential Candidate Ted Kennedy fiercely contested Presidential nomination in the democratic primary.  

As per the revelations via news reports then – “Ted Kennedy’s career never recovered from the disgrace of the accident at Chappaquiddick in 1969, when his passenger Mary Jo Kopechne died after the senator drove his car off a bridge and left her to drown as he swam free. Rather than making any attempt to save the young woman he went back to his hotel room to consult advisers before the case was reported in the morning. Kennedy escaped with only minor charges.”

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (Republican) infidelity shattered the glass house despite Christian coalition and religious veneer with the republican invited on major news network as authority on morality.

The Republican Senator Larry Craig in 2009 acknowledged inappropriate behavior.

According to the reports then –  “The Republican senator for Idaho pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct after being caught at an airport toilet. A policeman at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport arrested the politician after he used a signal under a cubicle door to suggest sexual conduct.”

Yet another Republican member in Congress Mark Foley attracted attention for apparent text and instant messages to male teens with sexual innuendoes during the term in Congress.

Arizona Senator John McCain launched Presidential campaign in 2008 and became the Republican Presidential nominee on the platform as decorated war veteran and POW in Vietnam. Nonetheless, the Senator’s involvement characterized as adulterous with disloyalty to spouse in long term marriage could not be concealed although the Senator continued the Presidential bid until election day.

California ex-Governor and Hollywood fame Arnold Schwarzenegger (Republican)  confession to love child cautiously sidelined from media chat and discussion.

The democrat Presidential candidate and then Senator Barack Obama was associated with alleged alliances during the successful 2008 campaign.

Last but not the least, the shooting incident at the White House door step on October 3rd, 2013, related to young black mother Miriam Carey (age – 34 years) with a toddler son witness to his mother being shot from behind five times in her car by White House Secret Service concluded as a tragedy much to the NAACP and Congressional Black Caucus silence. Not to mention muted response from Black lives matter.

Politics duplicity persists in the face of denials and denigrations for the sole purpose of maintaining status quo – i.e. distraction from real issues and serious violations by members in political class selectively exempt from scrutiny.

The targets in the game are fidelity and integrity not welcome in service to the citizens and nation at large.

Peace to all!

Thank you.

Transparency vs. Secrecy, Dysfunctional Politics

October 11, 2016

  1. What is the idea behind secrecy?

When actions are unlawful and unethical, the wrongdoer/s have trepidation about exposure and consequences in dealing with unconscionable indulgence. The cloak and dagger is the preference over coming forward clean and accepting responsibility to alleviate burden on the soul.

  1. Why is transparency shunned by those in public domain?

As much as they like glitz and glamor, those accountable for crimes in various aspects avoid transparency due to fear and lack of courage to face reality.  They are even embarrassed to admit the real age and hide behind superficial persona.

  1. When is secrecy no longer sustainable?

When offenders continually engage in repeat blunders rendering them defunct in willful folly.

  1. Is transparency anathema to those sworn to secrecy?

Absolutely. Similar to daylight unwelcome by darkness.

  1. What are the elements associated with secrecy?

Dishonesty, deceit and deception leading to delusional aspirations.

  1. Where is transparency ominously missing?

In politics and society activities involving public trust and taxpayer money.

  1. How is corruption linked to secrecy?

Corruption is fundamental to secrecy. The corrupt mind prompts fraudulence along with urge to conceal facts and defy truth. The dilemma clouds judgment among individuals unheeding conscience and ethical standards in society.

  1. Why is transparency rejected for secrecy?

The former is submission to morality and integrity while latter subscribes to malevolence in conjunction with evil attributes having no respect or remorse on counterproductive course.

  1. How is secrecy maintained in the information age?

Propaganda, subversion and distortion serve as the means to deflect public attention from actual event and data with captive audience. The other tactics such as threat, intimidation, caricature and character defamation are also deployed to safeguard secrecy.

  1. What is the biggest secret for those pledged to secrecy?

Mum is the word about the ones mummified.

Keeping the dead alive and denying death in dalliance with mortality.

Thank you.

DYSFUNCTIONAL POLITICS

By Padmini Arhant

What is wrong with Politics? 

The incognito forces wheeling power from behind are resistant to realistic change. They want to prolong status quo with executive, legislative and judiciary branch representing them not the electorate.

They want election to continue to be catharsis in order to maintain business as usual with special interests drafted legislations and foreign allies’ welfare prioritized over citizens’ rights on justice as terror victims in 9/11 inside collusion and operation. Similarly, the policy and strategy against national progress is preserved and pursued regardless of repeat failures and liability.

The pre-selected nominees in adherence to scripted role from campaign trail to entire term in office pledge allegiance to secret society reining control over system. In return these selected representatives are rewarded with lifetime luxury and immunity on crimes ranging from misuse of power and office, treason to complicity and direct involvement resulting in deaths of scores of innocent lives at home and abroad.

In politics loyalty adapts to chameleon trait to serve self-interest. The bipartisanship in enabling anti-republic affairs and pre-conceived agenda such as Project for New American Century (PNAC) to attack foreign nations at allies behest ignoring serious repercussions all around not barring compromise on safety and security of own citizens and the nation at large is regarded patriotic.

Terror and terrorism is the trend adopted to circumvent public protest to aggression deploying boots on the ground against nations posing no threat to United States and citizens at any time. The position is constant favoring foreign allies and hegemonic goals.

The multi-billion dollar financial and military aid to allies while denying own people economic opportunity is appreciated as fiscal responsibility. The government shut down to demonstrate congressional power is exercised as prerogative with salary during this period notwithstanding losses from suspending essential public services exacerbating national deficit and burden on taxpayer.

The extra judicial power assumed in the executive branch targeting individuals whether native or foreign without due process is commended as courageous decision. The license to kill at will in predator drone attacks chasing unarmed and defenseless children, women and men in the dark in poorest countries are praised as valiant demeanor.

The dragnet surveillance tracks law abiding citizens with false flag events and patsies to justify unconstitutional and undemocratic activities under the guise of national security.

Any information deserving public attention and scrutiny on national matter categorized as classified exempting entities liable for actions from accountability.

The members extending full cooperation in undermining sovereignty and republic status guaranteed secure political career and promoted for significant posts to protect current structure.

When electoral process is marred with Super PAC  bidding on candidacy granting bidders the political clout, the voters participation is nothing more than a formality to modify selection as election.

The dawn of democracy is made possible in rejecting unscrupulous means prevalent in power struggle for personal aspirations and delivery to campaign financiers voiding voters’ legitimacy.

Election in the present norm simplified as a ritual to legitimize illegitimacy and proclaimed as electoral mandate.

As usual betrayal and voters trust violation is the expected outcome in the stagnant pyramid setting.

The only hope is nothing meant to persist for eternity and  anything dysfunctional being unsustainable ultimately comes to conclusion.

Peace to all!

Thank you.

Hi Folks!

Hope you are all doing good!

I want to focus on contemporary events.

There are jobs that involves the worker or employee to use their mind and in many fields that would be physical work like lifting, moving and transporting items and so on.

But then there are performers. They are not required to use their brains or exercise discretion, thoughts etc. Instead they follow the script provided by those hiring them. They simply adhere to customized template and paid million dollars or so if not some incredible amount.

You might be wondering what exactly they do to deserve such sum.  Well their job is – believe it or not – insult people and engage in mockery, parody of the hirer’s choice.

You ask them – what do you do for living?  They might say they are famous people involved in something very interesting and how much they love doing what they do without sharing details.

What exactly they do is disparage specific entity or person their employer wants them to do and these people are rewarded for that performance. The rewards comes as awards to them.

These people are made celebrities for appeasing the group appointing them with particular task and that is constant vilifications and denigration of whoever selected for their ridicule.

The culture is promoted vigorously not just in the name of entertainment but also persists in political arena.

Having originated in politics and buttressed on political platform, it has extended into other fields to cover the base. Those are communication media, press, shows and what have you in public domain.

In their caricature and political retribution, they call names such as Frankenstein, monster, terrorist, someone using technology to devour anything upon contact. They have other characterizations as well in this regard not barring backward, brute and characterless. The most preferred title for them is maid. 

The reference maid is yet another contradiction given their life revolving around hard working people attending to their basic to extravagant needs in return for condescendence from them not to mention own parasitic existence. 

They don’t stop here. They cry foul upon them being challenged about these colorful disposition simply for bringing facts on issues and events that they withhold from public knowledge while maintaining the stance on abusive and insulting conduct they regard as their prerogative.

The other things worth noting is – have you all wondered why politics is the way it is?

I have asked this question whether politics or the political players should be blamed for status quo?

Is it politics at fault or the ones in politics responsible for this field associated with negative connotation?

Mind you, politics is not necessarily run by those whom you see as so and so with typical designations like Congressman, Congresswoman, Senator, President, Prime Minister, Minister of Parliament (MP) and Minister besides various cabinet and administration positions. Although these members are operatives pledging allegiance to certain cause and agenda,

The political gamut is insular and quite secretive. Somehow the entities calling the shots on important issues varying from elections to economic opportunity and citizens freedom remain in the dark. They shun light and choose to be incognito.

Needless to say they are paranoid of any exposure about them and their enigma when they do not have any problems about their actions like massive surveillance on law abiding ordinary citizens and those who are transparent with nothing to hide from society.  

These individuals consider themselves the ultimate authority exempting them from any law and order including scrutiny while they expect others to comply with serious consequences for failure to do so. Something to bear in mind according to them.

Since they want to protect the false image, they deploy surrogates and agents on payroll to attack anyone seeking openness and candid response for conflicting situation.

The favorite terminology among them is terror. Who else would know better than them considering customary practice using terror and terrorism, their alter ego and that is the irony.

Cheers!

Thank you.

Clarity on Reality

August 11, 2016

By Padmini Arhant

Hello Everyone,

How are you all doing? 

I would like to clarify for the record that as author and presenter on the website padminiarhant.com and representative divine mission statements from me in publications are not fabricated and exaggerated or full details withheld as claimed by my ardent critics to defend their indefensible system with rules and regulations not necessarily applied across the spectrum.

The reaction from them is least surprising to me and symptomatic of thy reflection on actions with deliberate omission and selection of material in public domain.

When I cite incidents like the one mentioned in my recent article with a segment on Travel about the tan, brown and darker traveler frisked and questioned more often was stated not out of imagination.  In fact, this has been a routine experience for my family including myself during travel despite following rules to the code.

When anybody dismiss or discount others experience in life related to any form of prejudice not limited to race and gender simply because they have not had any such incidents to account for, they either represent those involved or consider the treatment objectionable only when it happens to them or someone known to them. 

Accordingly, the selective profiling that targets specific segments in society not regarded an issue with victims of bias expected to tolerate and accept the discriminatory practice as the way of life.

The belief premised strictly on personal encounter in any situation otherwise slighted whether serious illness or disability not barring violation of individual rights fits the definition of narcissism.

Injustice like everything else nowadays is categorized as inappropriate depending on the individual at the receiving end.

Society is constantly misled with propaganda having become the means for survival to sustain the unsustainable tradition.

As for my introduction, the political figures reference to me that I am not speaking in first person is nothing more than them confirming the flip flop position typical in politics. In my earlier days when I started with self-identity in the normal sense, I had to deal with clamor to refrain from using the terms I, me, or myself.

Now they seem to have a problem with me not having said so and speaking as a third person characterizing the manner arrogant even though initially suggested by them and customized with creation of proxies and many thousand different names and unsavory characters not barring personalities associated with notoriety  nuanced at me. The unconventional and unprecedented distortion in an attempt to invalidate my existence and identity exemplify desperate tactic.

Evidently the convenient memory loss in politics seesawing on various issues is due to confusion and false perception about the policy and strategy proved counterproductive further exacerbated with the state of denial.

Democracy is bargained for exclusivity in retaining power and prosperity at the expense of vast majority.

Once again – My Profile. I am who I am and remain so irrespective of any opinion otherwise.

Name – Padmini Achintya Arhant.

Gender – Female, Religion – Hindu.

Representation – Divine Mission.

Philosophy – Peace, Pious and Progress possible with secular, fair and equal opportunity for all humanity.

Peace to all!

Thank you.

Padmini Arhant
