United States – Identity Politics

Padmini Arhant

Identity politics has long served political factions ideology in a democracy. When political parties and candidates running for public office as debutant or incumbent have none or dismal record, the campaign heavily relies on divisive polarizing strategy premised on identity politics categorizing voters on race, ethnicity, class, creed, religion, gender, social and economic background. The other popular means in politics to win election in the absence of verifiable positive actions and policies benefiting citizens and nation at large besides corruption in political career is negative campaign against opponent especially if the contender is hard to compete with and pose challenge to the other side on real issues and reality.

Above all, fake news via press, mainstream media, social media and diverse outlets representing deep state and their proxies continue to mislead and misinform public with false reports and concocted events until the deep state approved candidacy is installed in power.

That’s when and where the SuperPAC, HybridPAC, special interests, foreign governments and billionaires flushed millions of dollars adding to billions aid the lack luster lackey candidacy serving the intended purpose of donors not without them deriving more value for money they invest in such candidacy and political party.

Identity Politics – United States has witnessed and experienced violence, looting and mob attacks at frequent intervals and with great intensity since 2016 until now under the guise of protesting discrimination against blacks, police brutality and injustice to African Americans. Not long ago such protest snowballed wreaking havoc on streets with communal unrest nationwide on African American George Floyd death related to police torture in Minneapolis, Minnesota only resulting in more deaths from large gatherings in the middle of COVID19 crisis.

The organizations poised as civil rights groups seeking fairness and justice are in fact misused as political wing and deployed to spread violence and other crimes in the course of demonstrations.

The examples are Black Lives Matter and Antifa (Anti Fascism) though neither address the cause they claim to represent for they are invented and instigated by those behind social injustice and authoritarianism.

The public profile of this organization.

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

“Black Lives Matter is a decentralized political and social movement advocating for non-violent civil disobedience in protest against incidents of police brutality and all racially motivated violence against black people. Wikipedia
Founded: July 13, 2013
Purpose: Advocacy and protests against racial discrimination
Location: International, largely in the United States
Formation: July 13, 2013; 7 years ago
Founders: Alicia Garza, Patrisse Cullors, Opal Tometi”
————————————————————————————————————————————–

Contrary to the belief and public statement, unfortunately Black Lives Matter in the United States and other locations such as Britain and Canada, the involvement via protests has been anything but civil and non-violent. The other stigma on Black Lives Matter is the organization having become the political tool and arsonists for those actually responsible for exacerbating black lives tragedies and extraordinary plight.

Interestingly, there was no such movement or even voices of concern to the following incidents that was actually related to black lives mercilessly purged misusing authority granted by the people including the victims in a democracy during the much touted BLACK Presidency in the history of the United States.

1. Miriam Carey – African American Dental Hygienist. Public execution by White House Secret Service personnel at the White House periphery during the Black Presidency Barry Soterro aka Barack Hussein Obama and African American Spouse Michelle Obama presence at the time in the White House. The Vice President Joe Biden also present at that time.

Miriam Carey was gunned down with some thirty five bullets not five bullets as falsely covered up by CNN.com. Miriam Carey was shot dead on October 3, 2013 with her then toddler daughter witness to the heinous murder of an unarmed civilian and a young  mother in a democracy.

Where was the Black Lives Matter when this happened considering the organization founded and became active on July 13, 2013?

2. Troy Anthony Davis – African American falsely convicted and executed with lethal injection on September 21, 2011 by the state of Georgia for a crime he did not commit and yet the flawed criminal justice process ignored the facts based evidence clearly vindicating Troy Davis since apprehension. The worst was the incident attracting media attention and sensationalism in the United States and across the globe but not sensitivity from the White House with then first Black President and Black family unheeding requests submitted on this website per topics and voices from other corners of the country and across the globe.

United States – Troy Davis Clemency Plea – Published September 21, 2011.

United States Judicial Ethics – Troy Davis Execution – Published on September 22, 2011.

https://www.padminiarhant.com/united-states-judicial-ethics-%e2%80%93-troy-davis-execution/

Troy Anthony Davis – the innocent African American’s life could have been saved with clemency from then sitting Black President Barrry Soterro aka Barack Hussein Obama which was not considered necessary and slighted at that time along with same crony so-called liberal media mocking anyone including my stance to prevent the state murder of an innocent life in the southern state of Georgia in 2011.

Fast forward in 2019 – the article on Troy Davis in Klau Center for Civil and Human Rights site.

“Troy Davis story highlights risks of wrongful conviction and execution

Jason Ewart, of Arnold & Jones, Washington DC, spoke at Notre Dame Law School on November 21, 2019. Ewart was the lead defense attorney for Troy Davis, a man executed in 2011 following a criminal justice process that many, in the US and around the globe, found deeply flawed.”

Many in the United States including myself and around the globe could see the glaring willful injustice to a man being punished for the crime he was not responsible for and made a scapegoat. Somehow, then administration led by Black Presidency and democrat Vice Presidency Joe Biden could not recognize the state of Georgia’s fatal error.

3.From the same Southern State of Georgia another embarrassing and unfair decision was taken by then first black President Barry Soterro aka Barack Hussein Obama and Vice President Joe Biden, when the supposedly democrat administration on July 19, 2010 fired Shirley Sherrod, a black woman with respectable record in her career from her appointed position as Georgia State Director of Rural Development for the United States Department of Agriculture.

The reason behind firing Shirley Sherrod was the White House under then first black President Barry Soterro aka Barack Obama and democrat Vice President Joe Biden fell for the conservative talk show host on FOX NEWS – Glenn Beck’s fabricated distortion about Shirley Sherrod’s public speech that was not presented in entire and factual context.

The trend in haste reporting and disinformation by political establishment and deep state run media, press and communication outlets online and offline are well known and highlighted in this incident.

Where was the Black Lives Matter on injustice to a Black Man – Troy Davis and Black woman Shirley Sherrod under Black Presidency?

Given these deep wounds on black people during black Presidency with democrat Vice President Joe Biden on the side, the violence and injustice inflicted directly and indirectly speak volume on vote fraud in Georgia in 2020 that could not have favored the candidacy former Vice President Joe Biden then oblivious to black ordeal during two terms in office.

Ironically, the rise and prominence to violent activities linked to Black Lives Matter, Antifa and other disruptive groups created and fostered in conjunction with IS and ISIS emergence in 2011, 2012, 2013…under then administration of President Barry Soterro aka Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden.

These events are impetus to judge anyone on the content of character regardless of skin color i.e. racial social and economic status.

Identity politics is discriminatory reeking in prejudice with political motives to segregate and classify those targeted for devious political agenda. Furthermore, the profiling subvert progressiveness promoting caricature of human intellect and individual merit not necessarily relevant in selection criteria for key positions in deep state and establishment run politics.

Thank you.

Global Security – United States Defense Strategy

Global Security – United States Defense Strategy

Padmini Arhant

United States military leaderships alerting US troops on the near future possibility of Russia and the Pacific theater being the next major areas of conflict is extravagant, unaffordable and not pragmatic.

The rhetoric from United States military command is unwise and serve as an unnecessary provocation challenging major nuclear powers Russia and China under pretexts not conforming to credible evidence.

“I hope I’m wrong, but there’s a war coming. You’re in a fight here, an informational fight, a political fight, by your presence.”

Gen. Robert Neller, U.S. Marine Corps commandant.

Sgt. Maj. Ronald Green sounded a similar tone.

“At a Q&A session with the troops in the Norwegian Home Guard base near Trondheim, Neller said that the U.S. could shift its focus from the Middle East to Eastern Europe, citing Russia’s conflicts with Ukraine and Georgia as justification. He told the Marines that they should be prepared for a “big-ass fight” on the horizon.”

United States position in the world stage could be secure and respected provided the military leaderships, think tanks, every administration key officials and some members in Congress behind war strategy begin to acknowledge sovereignty of other nations, concern for all lives at stake over vested interests and importantly the devastation on the entire world upon such confrontation that would inevitably be nuclear.

The era of waging wars for profitability ignoring massive loss of lives and destruction is no longer viable and proved counterproductive time and time again.

The hard lessons from illegal invasion and occupation under false premise has been excruciating for U.S. taxpayers subject to enormous economic liability of warfare inviting adverse impact overall together with tarnishing United States image as an aggressor. Not to mention the scores of lives lost and millions forced into refugee status facilitating terror recruitment for networks preying on disenchanted and frustrated segments to unleash violence at the source of the problems.

In other words, United States determination to retain status quo backfires exacerbating preventable crisis.

United States and NATO operations beginning with Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and Yemen followed by sponsoring terrorism against Syria since 2011, bifurcation of Sudan in 2012, militarization of Africa and Latin America in the past decade, destabilization of Ukraine in 2012, troops deployment in Eastern Europe through NATO allies extending up to Norway in June 2016, provocative military drills with nuclear threats in Korean Peninsula summarize U.S. exertion of military might and unnecessary intrusions endangering global peace and security.

United States demand on other nations to submit to U.S. failed and flawed policy is neither favorable to United States status nor conciliatory in maintaining peaceful coexistence, a natural and inalienable right of all nations and people in the world.

The argument from military top tiers and the newly unveiled national security strategy under President Donald J.Trump administration is basically prolonging stance up until now that was accelerated in the recent past with events highlighted above including the introduction of Pivot Asia by former President Barack H.Obama administration. The red flag claiming Russia and China are eroding America’s influence, interests and power eventually hurting America’s security and prosperity is a misguided perception without any credence.

The strange scenario projected to justify U.S. military buildup and base increase contradict reality.

China is one of the major creditors besides Japan and Saudi Arabia in floating the U.S.dollar and financing multi trillion dollar national deficit largely acquired from military interventions and terror sponsoring that has nothing to do with U.S. national security and instead fulfilling the core elements ideological and lofty agenda launched as Project for New American Century (PNAC) initially targeting U.S. citizens on September 11, 2001 and proceeded to other nations in the PNAC charter.

As for Russia presumed the enemy reviving Cold War sentiments post Soviet Union is yet another deviation from history and contemporary trend. There are no doubts that secret society comprising members from wherever sharing similar ambitions are in the league reflected in the unified resistance to UNSC dissolution, Nuclear disarmament and dismantling of international syndicate reining control over politics, economy, communication outlets and global affairs shunning transparency and accountability.

Nevertheless, the momentum seeking opportunity for warfare in Korean Peninsula or in the Baltic Sea is self destructive in the nuclear age. Any nation faced with persistent military threats and troops on their borders cannot be expected to remain complacent for peace is possible only in simmering tensions on all sides through reliable dialogue and diplomacy. The lack of will to pursue peaceful negotiations substituted with unlawful economic sanctions to anger the other side is paradoxical to blame game accusing the other party at fault while declining any responsibility for the situation.

The latest tax bill provision with $4 billion on missile systems aimed at installation and enhancement arguably arousing anxiety amongst those the strategy is intended with comments suggesting United States never ending desire to engage in warfare.

Having experimented perpetual wars and terrorism ruining lives, infrastructure and environment, United States renouncing violent hegemonic goals for universal peace and humanitarian endeavors would guarantee honor and credit besides winning humanity’s trust and confidence as honest broker and partner on global natter.

None can possibly sabotage or invalidate the salient characteristics and noble deeds of any carried out in good faith and sincere commitment to protect life and rights of all beings in a selfless and incorruptible mission.

Those who attempt in this regard have nothing but disappointment and embarrassment to savor along with a reminder to refrain from such indulgence in the short and long term.

In conclusion, United States defense strategy expending resources on peaceful overtures, constructive talks and diplomacy would produce positive outcome in diffusing conflicts nuclear or otherwise.

Thank you.
