United States

Definition of Freedom

Padmini Arhant 

Regardless of administrations, left or right in the United States, the U.S. politics’ definition of freedom is unequivocally phrased to suit United States foreign policy designed and directed by selective commission such as the Trilateral Commission and / or Council on Foreign Relations if in existence any longer or equivalent, besides other special interests groups and corporate investments.

Iran protests is periodical that surface at the onset of every administration whether democrat or republican with the event simmering to status quo.

United States and EU politics empathy for Iranians’ freedom is a political stance more than humanitarian view.

Juxtaposed, United States’ past democrat and current republican administration supplying weapons, arms and ammunition to Israel at United States taxpayer expense together with western allies, especially EU in the forefront aiding Israel with submarines and artillery in the United States democrat administration approved warfare against Gaza in October 2023 continued to date under the present republican administration has FREEDOM abysmally missing in the entire deal.

Iranians plight for freedom is overwhelmingly regarded fair and just by United States bipartisan politics along with their western allies premised on subjective freedom.

However, the native Palestinians’ similar quest for FREEDOM and independent Statehood of long established and recognized Palestine is rejected by the west and United States bipartisan politics and administrations not barring left or right with a military response in continuous shelling and bombing of the densely populated Gaza strip, and the residual Palestinian territories leaving children, women, the young and the old, the able and physically challenged in the perpetual war zone entirely at the selective definition of Freedom under western foreign policy.

Freedom is neither a choice nor a privilege subject to any political system and factions’ discretion.

Freedom is the fundamental, inalienable right of all living species with human rights increasingly denied by politics contrarily exercising extra judicial power to executive actions in and out of term in office exceeding the civilization norms paradoxical to the self-proclaimed democracy.

The political decadence since the beginning of the twenty first century is at the precipice replacing the laws of the jungle in reference to violence and violations of civil decorum, fairness, and due consideration for the international rule of law in terms of respect for foreign sovereignty, and territorial integrity.

The political class deterioration to political crass is a harbinger of the beginning of the end in the tried and tested failed western foreign policy and hegemonic aspirations purely and exclusively for economic interests and strategic dominance.

Imperialism of any origin in the past and present proven a systemic collapsible house of cards eventually crumbling beyond recognition.

Yet politics prompted and lobbied by oligarchy and assortment interests for free and unfettered access to foreign economic resources and natural endowments that are otherwise safeguarded and protected as national treasures on own turf defy foreign sovereignty, territorial integrity and civility.

The latest action by the current United States administration of President Donald Trump against Venezuela is reminiscent of the predecessors from the late past and early present century against the Caribbean nation Haiti with both democrat and republican administrations alike from the earlier Clinton, Bush to Obama administration coup dètat and exile of then Haitian President Jean-Bertrand Aristide and successors, and thereafter creating chaos, carnage and abject poverty in the nation including civil unrest under the guise of western democratization.

The western democratization doctrine is old and obsolete having experimented in the previous century Vietnam to present age Iraq, Libya, Syria and now in Venezuela.

All of these targeted nations under western democratization and freedom policy openly declared the Project for New American Century launching Afghanistan, Iraq war in 2001, 2003 and proliferated in 2009 – 2016 worldwide, then resumed to date is delivered a recipe for disaster.

The outcome from western infiltration and interventions in foreign land is anything but democratic.

Case in point – though there are one too many almost all of them thus far.

Notably, Afghanistan is under Taliban rule with women’s rights ruled as blasphemous and female children forbidden from any education let alone higher education.

The boys are no better under Taliban regime. They are trained to defend Talibanism against all citizens including their family.

The present Taliban regime is a strong ally of the so-called world’s largest democracy India and the fundamentalist regime in New Delhi. The conduit is Talibanism and New Delhi politics’ fundamentalism forging affinity.

Nonetheless, that is the parting gift from western democratization to the people of Afghanistan leaving them to fend for themselves in the scurried departure from Afghanistan in 2022 under United States democrat administration.

The other being Syria – United States listed Syria in the Project for New American Century agenda under Bush – Cheney administration.

The successor Barack Obama Presidency receiving the baton from the predecessor Bush – Cheney administration, vowed to toppling Syria in the United States fomented so-called Arab Spring to prolong the predecessor’s Project for New American Century in 2011 and upon failure to do so, recouped terror resurgence via Al Qaeda terror network and installed the self-admitted terror outfit leader Ahmed Al-Sharaa as Syrian President in 2024 at the United States former democrat Presidency will and direct engagement.

Venezuela has been targeted by every administration in the United States at energy giants’ behest in the economic sector.

The indefensible invasion, occupation and colonization strategy implemented world over by United States under every administration is the real face of the political system under vested interests’ control and subjugation.

The status in return apply to the United States Republic not necessarily free with liberty and justice for all.

United States’ Donald Trump administration return to the flawed foreign interventions and colonization is a colossal mistake in history repeating itself under any political party and administration with the hope of expecting different results from the same experiment.

The continuation of United States hegemony anywhere never Make America Great Again – the MEGA slogan of the Donald Trump Presidency.

In contrast, it makes United States succumb to old habits die hard placing United States domestic priorities secondary and insignificant over specific treasure hunt expeditions overseas.

United States interference and brazen removal of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro is completion of long desired condemnable action earlier targeted by Barack Obama Presidency since the Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro’s nomination by then Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, the latter being the victim of foreign with U.S. administration under Barack Obama Presidency involvement in the tragic health ailment of the populist President Chavez in Venezuela.

United States’ foreign policy is standard for all administrations whether democrat or republican in the voracious appetite for seizing foreign economic assets deploying displacements and destabilization of foreign governments joining any other in the race, while maintaining strong objection and criticism of those following the trend ignoring the fact on being the trend setter.

Politics is now driven into unruly mobocracy transcending from the so-called democracy. When citizens as taxpayers and electorate in the nation are targeted and terrorized, further subject to ruthless savage attacks hiring goons and criminals in politics’ reserve, the political transgressions are protected with immunity in the so-called democracy.

The despotic control of a citizen’s personal life, and private health to financial matter by political power with self-granted impunity upon losing Presidential election in November 2024 or earlier in 2016 are not merely symptomatic. It is cataclysmic political might to the farthest extreme.

The deplorable reprehensible actions extended offshore is political sabotage of global peace and security with natural impact on national identity.

Venezuela is a sovereign nation with people elected government and head of the State.

The latest United States’ executive action for economic dominance on Venezuela’s crude oil reserves is political insurrection imitating the one against Ukraine in 2014 under U.S. democrat administration in Keiv’s maidan square involving violent overthrow of the democratically elected then Ukrainian President Viktor Yanakovich and the entire cabinet visibly at gun point in world view in March 2014.

The turn of events in Ukraine since United States and EU derailing of democracy in 2014, present grave security and economic dilemma for Europe in 2026, in accordance with chickens come home to roost.

United States reversal to exerting Supremacy in Venezuela, Cuba and other destinations are a paradigm shift from the campaign slogan and pledge to the electorate by the current administration to divest interest and investments in the domestic front to Make America Great Again. 

Politics’ confined to archaic principles and ideology for economic and territorial hegemony is a beaten track burdened with liability and damaged credibility.

Mistakes repeated with no lessons learned is a deliberate course slighting dire consequences with guaranteed failure.
