India – General Election 2014 Result Review
May 19, 2014
By Padmini Arhant
India’s 2014 national election concluded with massive victory for Prime Ministerial candidate Narender Modi and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) gaining absolute majority without coalition requirement to form government.
British Empire appointee Alan O. Hume founded Congress contemporarily headed by party chief Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi and family experienced colossal defeat in the recent election.
Congress Party tallied 44 out of 543 seats in the Lower House aka Lok Sabha polls this year.
The party’s substantial decline attributed to numerous corruption scandals, black money in Swiss banks and tax havens, soaring inflation, high unemployment and violence against women besides terror attacks in Mumbai, New Delhi and Bangalore…in the past three years under Congress UPA2 governance.
Notwithstanding government clamp down on anti-corruption rally resulting in casualty and youth peaceful protest related to assault on women infiltrated by politically instigated anti-social elements caused police personnel death and left several injured in the capital, New Delhi.
Similarly the Congress party and regional allies nationwide suffered setbacks and failed to win any Lok Sabha seats from prominent states like Tamil Nadu, Delhi, Jammu and Kashmir and more.
The electoral mandate is for fundamental change in political system transcending exclusivity and partisanship on social as well as economic issues dominant in the previous and the outgoing administration.
On the economic front, the politics prioritized campaign financiers interests and pursued external forces globalization agenda with little or no concern towards impact on local community.
The taxpayers funded government in the last decade was preoccupied in battling corruption charges and opposing anti-corruption law enactment.
Furthermore, the representation in Parliament was not inclusive and instead shared among the affluent, famous and powerful in society.
Accordingly, the political backlash against once regarded main party Congress and allies witnessed in 2014 election.
Indian electorate response understandably aimed at political reform with adequate mainstream participation in Parliament encompassing the marginalized and disenfranchised demography that could subsequently lead to fair income distribution, economic growth and development in areas long neglected due to lack of investment.
India’s progress confined to wealthy segments while the remaining citizens across the nation burdened with economic woes arguably influenced voter decision.
Additionally loss of national revenue from tax evasion and corruption contributed to large voter turnout rejecting those responsible for status quo.
Some states also set precedence in 2014 election expressing dissent on misuse of political capital denying those groups electability from the respective territory.
Nonetheless, the political structure is far from being perfected considering the reelection of some incumbents despite their involvement in high profile scams and investigations stifled to prevent exposure.
The constituents enabling the return of these candidacies perhaps expect different performance even though such anticipation earlier delivered disappointment maintaining the trend in empty promises on campaign trail and continuation of business as usual.
Indian election has provided unique possibility for real transformation in every frontier and Prime Minister-elect Narender Modi with BJP leaders and others support could realize goals for the entire nation leaving behind none in the process.
Congratulations and Best Wishes! To Prime Minister-elect Narender Modi, BJP and NDA alliance and political factions on the success and impressive record.
The roadmap for India’s rebirth will be presented in due course following the landmark election.
Jai Bharat!
Peace to all!
Thank you.

India – General Election 2014
April 25, 2014
By Padmini Arhant
Indian general election is underway with final outcome expected in Mid May 2014.
The two major political parties – the outgoing UPA 2 headed by the Congress party chief Sonia Gandhi and family and,
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) – the NDA together with regional partners seek re-election to retain control in the Indian political system.
Last but not the least is the introduction of the so-called Common Man Party (AAP) to discredit recommendation on this website for genuine mainstream political party.
The suggestion was made to offset prevalent plutocracy comprising celebrities, industrialists and political dynasty dominance deriving exclusive gains against national and republic interest.
The common man party with broom as mascot implies sly response to remark (again on this website) to clean up widespread corruption in India.
Such choice not only confirm the lack of seriousness in public service but also slight average citizens and middle class plight.
AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal – previously employed in Income Tax department is Congress nominee with hegemony sponsorship evident in campaign donations, political posturing and media promotion for the affiliate.
The relationship was formalized equivalent to tying the nuptial knots following the Delhi State Assembly election when AAP forged alliance with Congress to form government.
Subsequently AAP government resigned from power in Delhi State Assembly abandoning Delhi administration and electorate analogous to stood up bride with the distinction here being deserted by the groom with the broom at the marriage ceremony.
AAP leadership and associates are now on pilgrimage to the Holy City Varanasi perhaps on Kasi Yatra! – the journey often considered by those contemplating Sanyas or renunciation of worldly life although in this instance it might be retirement from politics.
Hopefully Kasi voyage is enlightening for AAP members and poet Kumar Viswas in particular in understanding Kasinath – the Visweshwar – God Shiva.
There are further revelations on Congress organized India against corruption (IAC) in 2011 with core members – Anna Hazare, Kiran Bedi, Arvind Kejriwal and Shanti Bhushan participation apparently to disqualify and derail authentic demand for effective anti-corruption law or Jan Lokpal bill encompassing Right to Recall among various other important measures that are required for political reform.
Accordingly, the IAC committee representatives owe valid explanation to the people and the nation at large having raised false hopes on graft legislation while the reality confirm collusion with political establishment and hegemony.
The desperate maneuvers from Congress to win third term considering the sharp decline in popularity due to soaring inflation, unemployment, numerous scandals, land scam deals and refusal on accountability in black money held in Swiss bank, Singapore, Dubai and several overseas tax haven and shelter clarify subversion for political salvation.
Similarly, the opposition BJP also shares controversial involvement at the regional and national level viz. the state of Karnataka and Rajasthan besides inaction to implement meaningful corruption remedy and investigation on tax evasion alluding to complicity with incumbency.
The security lapse conspicuous in the rampant crimes against women and terror attacks in Mumbai, New Delhi and Bangalore in the past three years notwithstanding allegations on members of armed forces deployed in northeastern states and Kashmir regarding abuse of special immunity shielding offenders from inquiry.
State interference at hegemony behest leading to the death of rape victim in New Delhi demonstrated disrespect for ordinary citizens life while other prominent members making mockery of victim and family pain and misery exemplified callousness ignoring ill consequences via bad karma.
Likewise UPA2 i.e. Congress response to anti-corruption rally in June 2011 authorizing excess force against unarmed and peaceful civilians not even sparing children, women and elders contributed to casualty with the demise of female attendee Rajbala and many severely injured in the violent crackdown.
Not to mention the shooting incident in coastal Kerala involving Italian marines Massimiliano Lattore and Salvatore Girone show the innocent fishermen lives are dispensable to the state and national leadership.
Hegemony influence and authority over Indian politics and economy substantially increased in the last decade.
The intervention undermines sovereignty rendering electoral mandate mere catharsis to legitimize the illegitimate proxy rule.
Furthermore the intrusion went beyond tradition bypassing the central government in New Delhi when U.S. former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton held direct meetings with the State Chief Ministers Mamata Banerjee of West Bengal and Jayalalitha of Tamil Nadu to prove foreign discretion in discarding protocol.
The syndicate presence in India through communication media and entertainment industry for propaganda and misinformation intended to malign dissent on treason and mass deception.
Also included in the strategy is identity theft ascribing character to undeserving and contrarily for insinuations and enactments to stymie original entities in the divine mission.
Indian political structure nationwide premised on the next of kin succession to mantle of power defy democracy.
The alternative factions ruling states for decades exploit voter dilemma to choose between equally contentious options converting the situation mandatory rather than accessibility to viable representation.
The speculation on the current election is the possibility for coalition in the absence of absolute majority by any party.
The betting is on Chief Minister of West Bengal Mamata Banerjee, Jayalalitha of Tamil Nadu or former CM Mayawati of Uttar Pradesh even though all three of them like their counterparts carry excess political baggage pertaining to administrative negligence, corruption charges and misuse of power.
Indian political class with the rich, famous, royalty and dynasty safeguard own ambitions for wealth, power and prestige.
As a result the remaining 99% population deprived of fair political and economic opportunity reflective in the staggering number forced into abject poverty, hunger and disease.
Additionally the lower and middle-income categories are faced with economic struggles along side nepotism in both politics and work force.
The economically affluent could always serve the nation without being on taxpayer funded position, perks and privileges for that would determine individual integrity and selfless commitment to worthy cause.
Then there is hierarchy in caste, creed and diverse segregation with assertion from the self-proclaimed highest caste to appoint a member amongst untouchables for the key post in politics as a token of their magnanimity – a trait emulating colonial era.
Ironically such condescendence only highlights inherent flaws in human nature and the source indulgence in self-degradation.
The former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister and Telegu Desam Party (TDP) leader Chandra Babu Naidu declared that the backward class member Krishnaiah would be the Chief Minister of the newly created Telangana state upon TDP emergence to power.
The ex-chief minister of Andhra Pradesh Chandra Babu Naidu overture perhaps emanates from massive suicides of farmers in the southern state during the term in office with the leadership prioritizing foreign ventures like Monsanto entry in agriculture business that led to tragic ending in the farming community unable to afford losses in the systemic misrepresentation by multinational corporation.
Relevantly, Congress unsuccessful attempts to implement the foreign direct investment (FDI) inviting the biggest retailer Wal-Mart and alike now pursued by BJP with the prime ministerial candidate Narender Modi touting support for the policy claiming to boost employment and economic growth.
Instead the political party intensive program to recover black money and offshore bank account holdings would exceed any foreign investment thereby protecting domestic retail industry and facilitating economic achievements in the immediate future.
On the nuclear power plant project in Koodankulam, Tamil Nadu – the central and state authorities typical reaction towards citizens on hunger strike is yet another example of politics loyalty to hegemony.
In foreign policy – Pakistan and China are regarded the problems based on territorial disputes, incursions and cross border tensions not barring militancy, Maoism and terror infiltration engaged in killing of Indian soldier such as decapitation in disguise – wearing Pakistani army uniform across the line of control (LOC) in Kashmir.
The events related to China are no different from skirmishes in the South and East China Sea together with United States pivot Asia stratagem and Korean peninsula heightened threats exacerbating regional security.
China economic status unfortunately is exalted in territorial annexation and arguably counterproductive for the nation dependent on neighbor and overseas market to maintain the manufacturing stronghold and productivity.
Hence, China’s recognition for India and other nations’ territorial integrity is critical for mutually beneficial economic trade and multifaceted dealings in the largest continent – Asia.
Whereas Pakistan is confronted with terror within the country and along borders adjoining Afghanistan, Iran, Bangladesh and India.
The reason behind Pakistan inability to contain terrorism is Saudi Arabia financing different terror networks and billion dollar monetary aid to Pakistan government, military as well as ISI personnel.
Moreover, decapitation is Saudi dynasty signature terror act witnessed in the kingdom and Saudi government recruited mercenaries in Syria.
The political, defense and intelligence apparatus bear collective responsibility to address burgeoning security crisis in Pakistan and adjacent areas in the Indian sub continent.
Pakistan perseverance to eliminate terror could eventually guarantee citizens safety inside and outside the country. The accomplishment would enable Pakistan to forge better relations with all shedding the reputation as failed state or terror refuge.
Simultaneously cash flow from Saudi Arabia and Ford foundation in the ongoing Indian election to the common man party (AAP), Congress, BJP and other political contenders appears to be open secret to preserve corruption culture in the convoluted version of free and fair election.
In conclusion India’s largest electorate an estimated 815 million casting ballots to elect political parties pledged allegiance to foreign conglomerate favoring power inheritance as entitlement and ideology in concurrence with polarization concept epitomize subjugation reviving the need for real independence and inclusive democratic rule.
Best Wishes to India for transformational progress touching the lives of the forgotten, forbidden and forlorn in the society.
Jai Bharat!
Peace to all!
Thank you.

Cambodia – Garment Workers Strike Receives Government Violent Response
January 17, 2014
By Padmini Arhant
The Cambodian garment and shoe factory workers strike for minimum wage increase met with government violent crackdown resulting in peaceful protesters deaths and charges against political opposition in the country.
The Cambodian Labor Ministry offer to raise minimum wage from $80 to $100 per month while the labor force seeking $160 monthly payment in the $5 billion industry confirms exploitation – the common practice worldwide.
Corporations and government obviously do not share profits among employees especially those at the bottom of income hierarchy. The global poverty and economic inequality largely attributed to poor employment conditions and below normal earnings with disproportionate allocation to powerful entities in political and business enterprise.
Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen led government hardline approach against national work force demonstrators on this issue is counterproductive.
The authorities could instead address high inflation along side improving job situation with fair and reasonable remuneration, health care provisions and other benefits for workers behind profitable trade boosting national revenue.
Major multinational companies and designer outlets using Cambodia and many developing nations as manufacturing base also bear responsibility in adopting policies with decent wages for factory workers and members in the service sector.
The government response to curb public rally in addition to political indictment of leaders in National Rescue Party contributes to unrest flaring instability.
Moreover such disposition reveals government lack of commitment to economic growth evident in denying citizens request for affordable living despite enormous returns from apparel and accessories exports abroad.
International consumers effort and direct support to workers in Cambodia and elsewhere with similar experience could deliver positive outcome.
In globalized economy, collective action urging private and public sector to comply with labor and environment laws critical to change status quo alleviating ordinary citizens plight.
Cambodian leaderships peaceful negotiations with protesters, unions and activists including political rivals could perhaps lead to resolutions conforming to better salary and income disbursements essential to narrow the gap between haves and have-nots in society.
Wishing Cambodian citizens success in equitable system establishment facilitating mainstream access to prosperity.
Peace to all!
Thank you.

Bangladesh – Political Crises Resolution
January 5, 2014
By Padmini Arhant
The political unrest in the South Asian country, Bangladesh amid controversial Parliamentary election having claimed at least 160 lives and many injured is reflective of incumbent and opposition leaderships personal ambitions prioritized over national interest.
Bangladesh post independence in 1971 is yet to experience political stability along with economic and social developments especially among vast majority of struggling population.
Political systems premised on dynasty or hereditary accessions with other choice being candidacy exploiting relevant situation considering neither have addressed serious challenges confronting the nation during respective terms in office proves election a mere formality to legitimize authority.
Bangladesh ongoing turmoil emanating from the standoff between ruling government Awami League Party led by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) under opposition leader Khaleda Zia evidently counterproductive.
Premier Sheikh Hasina administration authorized violent crackdown banning peaceful assembly and detention of political opponents in house arrest restricting movement conforms to appeasement of external sources using different nations as pawn to stir events in an attempt to create analogy for intended target viz. Thailand in the region despite the contrast in governance delineating latter from Bangladesh ruling authority.
However, the similarity between Thailand and Bangladesh opposition having served consecutively and failed to deliver on national issues except remaining focused in reclaiming power through party support instigating protests and general strike is also in adherence to foreign agenda causing political disturbance.
Unfortunately as a result of the current government and vying contenders self-centered aspirations in Bangladesh, the people are forced to bear economic losses and human toll increasing with government use of excess force and opposition determination to prolong turmoil in the state.
Instead the leaderships on both sides including other political factions outreach upholding constitution and democratic principles for national reconciliation setting aside differences would ease tensions and save lives from further confrontation.
The political consensus on common goals to revive republic rule with departure from power inheritance claiming entitlement and likewise plutocracy denying rest of the nation fair political representation is the viable option to end stalemate.
Bangladesh electorate predicament on two or multi party disposition to seize power and subsequent misuse of political mandate is an experience shared worldwide.
The breakthrough from such impasse perhaps possible with grassroots coalition forming political party with youth power emerging from disenfranchised and marginalized demography.
Since outside infiltration and their proxy rulers in the country stifle genuine popular front pledged to instrumental transformation in uplifting socio economic conditions and substitute with pseudo emulation to maintain status quo,
The requirement for new political groups beginning at local and national level is to disavow ties or affiliation with ruling class and political establishment to qualify as independent formidable force representing ordinary citizens across the spectrum in society.
National awakening rejecting politics espousing deception and betrayal of public trust due to foreign influence and domestic conventions could produce desirable outcome for the otherwise frustrated and disenchanted voters held hostage in the so-called democratic process.
Bangladesh could once again gain freedom from systemic abuse of power politics relieving nearly 100 million from generational subjugation and indebtedness towards meaningful existence with respect, dignity and prosperity for all.
Wishing striving Bangladesh citizens triumph in political, economic and social tribulation leaving behind traditional suppression of people power.
Peace to all!
Thank you.

India – Political Circus Beckon Electorate Disillusionment
December 16, 2013
By Padmini Arhant
Indian politics – the embodiment of corruption spare no opportunity in the art of deception.
Since anti-corruption fervor in the country in 2011 leading up until now, the political establishments under foreign entities control have denied the vast majority life with dignity.
The nation with overwhelming population forced into abject poverty, hunger, disease and social inequality is suffocated with partisanship, false pride and traditional prejudice.
Human suffering exploited making mockery of victims in the so-called world’s largest democracy serving as the biggest hypocrisy in contemporary system.
India’s political class hypersensitivity to truth exposure surface upon inability to defend indefensible position deflecting public attention from real issues confronting the nation at large such as rampant corruption, high inflation, violence against women and inherent discriminatory practice creating hierarchical and parochial society.
The dynastic predisposition survives on cronyism with nepotism overriding meritocracy as the salient feature in the decadence culture.
Human lives and values regarded insignificant in the quest for power and affluence adopting any means to maintain status quo.
The political circus involving various performers at stakeholders behest defies intellect and integrity in mass betrayal.
Unfortunately for the participants sharing negative Karma as facilitators, the guilt burden on the soul and ill consequences would be proportional with sources behind myth to alleviate humanitarian plight in the country.
In the Who is Who Contest, recognition in this context is imperative to avert undesirable and disastrous outcome.
The latest developments in New Delhi, India on the anti-graft legislation and state assembly rule arguably reveal two sides of the coin are not necessarily different and designed to favor the declining empire.
Indian electorate especially the demography in the lower economic strata and middle income groups imposed with generational marginalization rising to the occasion and forming genuine political party viz. Jan Kalyan Party, Lok Kalyan Party, and Desh Pragati Party transcending gender and social bias in the title as well as mascot could initiate paradigm shift in political consciousness.
The abovementioned authentic mainstream party upon formation with selfless unsung contributors pledged to eliminate corruption and disparity for fair representation in every sector is the only alternative to prevalent despair and disenfranchisement nationwide.
Notwithstanding transparency and accountability from inception and beyond.
May the wheels of Karma and Dharma lead Bharat towards disillusionment for Mukti i.e. liberation.
Peace to all!
Thank you.

India – New Delhi State Assembly Polls And Political Establishments Opportunism
December 13, 2013
By Padmini Arhant
The recent state assembly elections in New Delhi, India produced unprecedented outcome for ordinary citizens in political history.
Indian political system not without foreign control is stagnant with duopoly – the two major political parties viz. Congress from British India led UPA and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) along with various coalitions thus far failed to win absolute majority to govern most states and the nation at large.
Both parties and their alliances attracting rich celebrities from the entertainment and economic sector to represent a nation with significant population in abject poverty enduring social inequality yet to demonstrate capability and integrity considering plethora of scandals costing taxpayers horrendously due to massive corruption and dysfunctionality.
Congress Party headed by Mrs. Sonia Gandhi and son Rahul Gandhi with Ministers P. Chidambaram and counterparts evading accountability on numerous corruption charges suffered severe setbacks in the latest provincial elections across the country.
Similarly BJP identified as fundamentalists behind communal riots proportionately share corruption related political losses predominantly in the southern region.
In Delhi polls, the emergence of common man party known as Aam Admi Party (AAP) – the offshoot from anti-graft movement launched in 2011 under activist leader Anna Hazare defeated the ruling congress party ousting the Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit criticized for 2010 New Delhi Common Wealth Games corruption and funds mismanagement.
The AAP founder Arvind Kejriwal and associates performance bewildered BJP and Congress party sowing the seeds for possible political transformation at the local and national level.
Delhi State Assembly with 70 seats currently split among BJP 32, AAP 28, Congress 8 and 2 Independent likely to join BJP in the post election.
In the absence of clear winner to govern the state, New Delhi is faced with possibility of President rule or undesirable partnerships between the leading parties and runner up Congress and alternatively holding re-election for decisive victory.
Although BJP maintains marginal lead over newcomer AAP, the former resigning to opposition position is a political maneuver and AAP teaming up with Congress would be reversal of hard earned achievement for the common man party.
Congress and BJP as the political establishments essentially favor one another and poised to maintain status quo.
BJP political posturing to address corruption and failure to deliver in action while leaving the matter to ruling Congress confronted with public anger and frustration over various issues primarily anti-corruption law i.e. Jan Lokpal bill, inflation and rising violence against women confirm the lack of commitment to national interest.
Besides, BJP refusal to participate in no confidence vote against UPA Congress further proves the dual party agreement to defend each other during crises at national expense denying electorate fair political representation.
BJP success largely attributed to Congress dismal trajectory and hence remains the default option.
The dilemma for Indian voters to choose between the two unpopular parties tainted with evidence based allegations could be overcome in forming and promoting mainstream political party – Jan Kalyan Party (JKP)/ Lok Kalyan Party (LKP), Desh Pragati Party (DPP) or National Progress Party (NPP) nationwide through citizens financing candidacies possessing verifiable record dedicated to national and humanitarian service.
Among them, unlike conventional practice seeking fame and fortune and subsequently entering politics for power and prestige, the people party representation with selfless unsung heroes and geniuses would delineate them from political class in modern age.
Social activism alone might be effective when elected representatives abide by constitutional oath to serve constituents and nation resisting domestic and foreign incentives and pressure to commit treason and betray citizens’ trust.
Since traditional politics prioritize personal benefits over national future, the youth drive energizing the rest of the nation via Jan Kalyan Party / Lok Kalyan Party, Desh Pragati Party (DPP) or National Progress Party could be the beacon of hope to dispel the myth on contemporary choices showcased with fancy packaging containing obsolete product.
Mahatma Gandhi’s Satyagraha and followers political involvement together enabled India’s independence from foreign rule.
The rift in national group i.e. Shri Anna Hazare loyalists and AAP members pledged to contain corruption and other problems serve none except facilitate exploitation for declining powers seeking opportunity.
Indian mass preparedness and engagement for revolutionary change in politics transcending dynasty, nepotism and affluence dominance is the preliminary step towards egalitarianism with political and economic freedom.
Wishing people power in India vigor and vitality for republic governance upholding democratic values and righteousness as the foundation in nation building illumining lives with knowledge and exemplary talent.
Jai Bharat!
Peace to India!
Peace to all!
Thank you.

Thailand – Democracy Challenged Through External Powers Promoted Destabilization
December 4, 2013
By Padmini Arhant
The democratically elected government led by Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra experiencing foreign powers instigated political uprising.
The opposition facing corruption charges lost 2011 national election following violent crackdown that resulted in many civilian casualties with then ruling authority maintaining unpopular policies to benefit self and selective groups in the political establishment.
Thailand politics premised on constitutional monarchy beneath military wing maneuvered to suit foreign sources agenda at national detriment.
The military coup and royal engagement in governance along with foreign interceptions has denied the people in Thailand political stability.
When global forces use political system as pawn aimed at destabilization of country and region, the citizens’ discernment is critical to avert such outcome.
The political factions aiding foreign intrusion commit treason in order to remain in power witnessed in Thailand opposition role fomenting anti-government protests and civic buildings occupation declared victory disregarding economic liability from the inappropriate conduct.
The problem is the members behind the ongoing political crises in Thailand seeking to topple government for proposals to alleviate poverty and improve economic conditions among vast majority care less about the nation considering the performance during their term and preference to stir tensions rather than peaceful resolution with incumbent administration proves the lack of commitment and ingenuity in national service.
Thailand Premier Yingluck Shinawatra accused of allowing sibling, the self-exiled former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra to advise on political affairs while the accusers are carrying out foreign elements instructions to disrupt government activities is the irony with the organizers of anti-government rally.
The current trend among conglomerate opposed to democracy, peace and national interests is to cause political turmoil against governments attempting to address economic and social issues confronting the nation.
Thailand until recently under predecessor Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva ignored the mainstream plight due to preoccupation with holding the highest office and likewise the supporters concerned about respective power struggle within party and various posts facilitated dysfunctionality leading to continuous mass demonstration in 2010 and 2011.
Moreover having conceded to Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra post election 2011, the opposition leader Abhisit Vejjajiva unsuccessful action to delegitimize incumbent in the no confidence vote past week once again confirms personal ambitions prioritized over national needs.
Thailand sharing economic woes with rest of the world deserves political viability and not obstructions misleading people towards chaos and confusion.
Besides. the negative approach against government demanding Premier Yingluck Shinawatra resignation despite comfortable win in the latest no confidence motion is yet another anti-democratic and unconstitutional practice orchestrated from outside.
The desperate entities constantly striving for geopolitical dominance are applying any tactics to deprive Thailand from political, economic and social progress.
In fact the subversion reflective in misusing people power in Thailand is to discredit genuine peace movements against proxy representation elsewhere.
Thailand electorate exercising diligence in rejecting local political complicity with anti-republic foreign influence is important in preserving national sovereignty.
Additionally, Thailand adopting true democratic setting free of regal and army imposition of rules would guarantee meaningful democracy.
The ex-Premier Thaksin Shinawatra alleged assistance providing guidance on national matter to present leadership and other contentions related to government consideration for amnesty to the former leader later withdrawn in recognition of dissent in political circle,
Notwithstanding current government measures on rice subsidy offering farmers fixed prices exceeding market rates on the crops do not justify riots and upheaval.
Any allegations on previous head of state Thaksin Shinawatra accompanied with opportunity to prove innocence in the national court of law would conform to democratic values and constitutional requirement on civil rights.
Instead politicizing these events to score mileage reveals inherent flaws in the strategy to return to power.
The status quo extension serves none and unnecessarily exacerbates population suffering wasting taxpayer resources in political hostility.
Since Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra won Parliament approval to lead the country in the latest voting process, opposition efforts to thwart peace hurt the nation at large with saboteurs eventually paying political price.
Thailand citizens are urged to show solidarity in preventing foreign backed egregious decisions contributing to political unrest in the state.
Wishing Thailand steady and stable governance dedicated to economic growth, social development and fair political representation leaving none behind in prosperity.
Peace to Thailand
Peace to all!
Thank you.

Afghanistan – Sovereignty on Sale in BSA with United States
December 1, 2013
By Padmini Arhant
The Loya Jirga approval of bilateral security agreement with United States including provisions granting immunity to foreign personnel on crimes against Afghan citizens is essentially sovereignty sale for a price paid towards members support prolonging occupation in Afghanistan.
Furthermore, invitation to those individuals favoring BSA and barring the rest opposed to the treaty in Loya Jirga voting process is anything but democratic defining the principles and direction the country will be led under foreign subjugation.
United States pressure on Afghan leaderships to seal the deal despite overwhelming public protests to foreign troops presence in Afghan soil and continuous drone attacks preying on children, women and men verify status quo extension upon Afghan Parliament consensus on the controversial pact.
The illegal invasion of Afghanistan has fomented violence, proliferated narcotic production and legitimized widespread corruption denying the war torn nation stability and consequently economic and social development.
When external powers rule sovereign country imposing laws in direct violation of human rights and national constitution, the identity is lost with no recognition for native population self-determination prerogatives and territorial integrity.
The thirteen years military aggression in Afghanistan produce massive casualties on all sides, economic liabilities for both aggressors and victim nation and persistent insurgency in resistance to foreign intervention.
Afghanistan security cannot be established through imperial dominance responsible for turmoil with no desire to promote peace.
The real beneficiaries in the thirteen years quagmire are those dependent on arms and drugs profits at the local and global citizens expense knowing well that these activities claim innocent lives and target vulnerable segments depriving them of existence and life with dignity.
Afghanistan proceeding with BSA is surrender of national independence allowing occupiers to deplete natural resources and wealth shared among the self-proclaimed privileged members showing no remorse for death and destruction since military operation onset.
Besides, any nation’s authorities ignoring republic will at imperial powers behest could not be representative of the people and swearing allegiance to foreign usurpation confirm treasonous act committed with impunity.
The irony in this issue is Afghans fleeing their homeland due to foreign forces atrocities ranging from shooting rampage to rape, torture and unlawful detentions during night raids and relentless drone assaults are declined even temporary refuge on arrival in any of the invaders shores witnessed in Australian policy towards oppressed asylum seekers while the foreign powers and coalition assert authoritarianism insisting on militarization of the embattled state.
Afghanistan has choices to reject prevalent conditions and free the nation from colonization. Afghan youth and remaining society could come forward and assume control over their destiny rather than leaving the decisions to entities least concerned about Afghan lives and livelihood compromised in the contentious accord.
National freedom and personal liberty are non-negotiable and more than decade old warfare has undermined Afghan sovereignty with drones, warrantless searches of Afghan homes, prison camps without legal recourse and last but not the least declaring Afghanistan as a failed state incapable of self-governance.
Afghanistan has unique opportunity to demonstrate resilience and potential required for nation building possible with patriotism and solidarity.
Afghan history is testimony to the fact that imperialism unrealistic goals and pursuits evidently counterproductive resulting in empires collapse.
The true benefactor would exit Afghanistan in 2014 heeding to domestic call for complete withdrawal and pledge to repair and restoration costs incurred in the aftermath of foreign interference that could lead to long overdue economic progress.
Best Wishes to Afghan citizens in the achievement of peace and fair political representation dedicated to national defense, equality and prosperity.
Peace to Afghanistan!
Peace to all!
Thank you.

Afghanistan – Bilateral Security Agreement with United States is Renouncing Sovereignty
November 20, 2013
By Padmini Arhant
United States troops withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2014 is negotiated through bilateral security agreement (BSA) for extension beyond scheduled date.
The pact includes controversial provisions such as grand immunity to foreign forces on crimes against Afghan citizens and nightly raids of Afghan homes without warning and warrants involving rape, killings and unprecedented violence towards Afghan people.
United States, NATO and foreign alliance illegal invasion and occupation of Afghanistan using 9/11 as pretext while sparing Israel and Saudi Arabia behind September 11 attack with then U.S. administration and intelligence committee complicity evidently a major political and military debacle having learned nothing from previous experience.
Afghanistan war into thirteenth year since military intervention in October 2001 claimed thousands of innocent lives in that country and neighboring Pakistan as well as armed personnel especially United States and Britain sustaining heavy losses and yet all casualties dismissed as collateral damages in the imperialistic quest unheeding ground reality.
The so-called war on terror evolving into terrorizing Afghan children, women and men regardless of age with drone attacks, intrusion conducting searches in Afghan houses at odd hours, detention of young Afghans in Bagram prison and centers run by western allies – Britain, Germany and Australia has reached a crescendo in foreign aggression prompting Taliban retaliation both ignoring civilian deaths in the war ravaged nation.
United States, Britain and coalition defense force misconduct ranging from shooting spree of Afghan population, burning holy Quran to desecration of deceased Afghans not regarded as crimes in the security arrangement despite the incidents constituting violation of national and international laws not barring human rights abuse in the typical civilized world.
On the economic front, the imperial powers tradition to destroy culture and social fabric maintained with poppy cultivation leaving nearly 1.5 million citizens addicted to drugs and those promoting narcotic trade profiteering from Afghan and rest of the world destruction due to contraband distribution in open and black markets ruining more lives to benefit self-proclaimed privileged members parasitic existence.
Afghanistan denied of economic growth also corrupted with foreign occupiers bribery to stifle nation building and accordingly declared a failed state lacking potential for self-governance justifying subjugation under colonial entity.
Reiterating the fact on corruption causing human suffering worldwide, the foreign political apparatus subservient to oligarchy and imperial era remnants care less about citizens anywhere whether domestic or abroad enforcing agenda prolonging status quo.
Afghan Loya Jirga representing tribal and rural community along with Parliamentary members entrusted with responsibility to cast votes on citizens behalf in accepting or rejecting deal with United States have unique opportunity to demonstrate national loyalty in declining monetary incentives from foreign and local authorities engaged in swaying decisions to Afghanistan detriment.
The elders from Loya Jirga and people representatives in Parliament are at crossroads to make political history honoring public opinion on BSA i.e. overwhelmingly in opposition to foreign presence on Afghan soil.
They bear collective responsibility in arriving at consensus that could liberate Afghanistan from imperial dominance and end foreign extension bringing relief to Afghans in the endurance of unlawful drone assaults and nightmare attributed to midnight ransacking of Afghan humble dwellings carried out with no regrets or remorse.
As for Taliban containment, United States and NATO sponsored terrorism in Libya, Iraq, Mali and now Syria hiring al-Qaeda and affiliates not excluding Taliban as allies ironically are adversaries in Afghanistan to perpetuate militarization of the nation.
Imperialism ascension and expansion in Afghanistan resulted in empires collapse providing valuable lessons on greed motivated violence with inevitable impact on the source.
Besides, wasting tax dollars in trillions on Afghanistan and Iraq wars arguably counterproductive considering ill consequences on the western and global economy.
The only beneficiaries could perhaps be drone manufacturers and investors seeking perennial harvest from heroin production discarding self-deterioration in the illusive pursuit for geopolitical monopoly.
Afghanistan government and heads of tribal groups rising to the occasion in recognition of Afghan will on BSA calling for unconditional and complete removal of all foreign deployment is the only alternative to reclaim Afghanistan freedom.
The concessions in this regard consenting to imperialistic aspirations would mean surrender of sovereignty and sacrificing Afghan future with irreversible outcome.
Hence, Afghan youths and others in civil society persistence to free Afghanistan could be exemplified in reminding Loya Jirga leaders and Parliament members not to compromise on Afghanistan territorial integrity and national identity in the critical decision making process.
Nations have choices for resistance or retention of vassal statehood subscribing to foreign feudalism.
Choosing former option would be restoring personal and national independence.
Contrarily, the latter is submission of destiny to authoritarianism.
Hopefully wisdom and patriotism would guide Afghanistan in the establishment of peace, stability and justice necessary for pervasive prosperity.
Best Wishes to Afghan citizens in republic empowerment.
Peace to Afghanistan!
Peace to all!

Afghanistan – Ending Foreign Occupation is the Passage to Peace and Real Freedom
October 14, 2013
By Padmini Arhant
The immemorial false flag 9/11 event in the United States to implement Project for New American Century targeting nations including regime change agenda on non-cooperative governments commenced with illegal invasion of Afghanistan in October 2001.
United States and NATO aggression against Afghanistan into thirteenth year has claimed scores of lives on all sides especially Afghan population killed on the ground through U.S. and International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) night raids and aerial drone attacks as well as the prolonged occupation fomented militancy using locals in resistance to foreign troops presence.
On the economic standpoint, the 13 years warfare has cost U.S. and allies taxpayers in trillions leaving them with mounting debt and western governments flair for austerity directed at citizens lifeline programs and services offset stimulus via consumer spending stunting required growth.
Meanwhile, the western nations defense budget and funding towards wars ever increasing, there is no inclination for complete withdrawal facilitating arms and finance industry profiteering from incessant turmoil.
Afghanistan on the other hand continues to suffer in terms of economic, political and social progress with corruption and violence disrupting stability necessary to overcome various challenges confronting the war torn nation.
Western involvement in Afghanistan maintaining poppy production accelerated weapons trade and distribution to factions perpetuating combat situation used in justifying the requirement for permanent military base undermining national sovereignty.
As for western training of Afghan national army and other contingencies – the futile exercise apparently causing major rift between domestic and foreign brigades evident in American as well as British soldiers shooting rampage responded with Afghani member attack on U.S and NATO convoy escalating tension in the war fatigued country.
Furthermore, United States engagement with Taliban and al-Qaeda in the region is rather paradoxical since they are declared enemies in Afghanistan and allies in Syria.
Pakistan initiated talks between United States and Afghanistan Taliban in Doha, Qatar prompted the militant group to assert the representation as the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan with a separate flag providing the basis for Kabul government and Afghan Peace Council to reject the controversial and unconstitutional disposition.
Afghanistan quagmire emanating from foreign intrusion for geopolitical dominance at the expense of Afghan misery has reached a crescendo.
The ramifications are not only limited to Afghan victims but also experienced by the aggressors in sustaining economic liabilities and armed forces casualties thus far.
Historically, Britain, the former Soviet Union and subsequently the United States and NATO colonized Afghanistan until now survived the worst conditions demonstrating Afghan resolve to defend territorial integrity.
The external powers destructive course promoting narcotic cultivation and using the territory for ammunition stockpiles experimentation ignoring civilian deaths is the reason behind deterrence to foreign extension of stay beyond 2014.
In the backdrop of devastation and deterioration in U.S. and ISAF troops morale, the atrocities committed with impunity arguably remain the bone of contention in the ongoing discussion on bilateral security agreement (BSA).
Afghanistan rural elders and tribal leaders in the Loya Jirga and Afghan national assembly along with entire society share responsibility to protect the nation and citizens from foreign abuse expected to evolve into pervasive subjugation upon granting indefinite military deployment regardless of size and intended purpose.
Any nation that allows foreign establishment in political, economic and military affairs against national and republic interest essentially surrender statehood and individual freedom besides the precedence in violation of sovereign duty to safeguard independence.
Afghanistan declining status quo seeking unconditional and comprehensive withdrawal of all foreign entities not barring intelligence agents as overt and covert operatives would decisively set the stage for national reconciliation amongst segments legitimately in opposition to outside usurpation.
Taliban energized from Saudi Arabia funded elements in neighboring Pakistan renouncing terror and fundamentalism with respect for Afghan compatriots and women in particular would exemplify pledge to Afghan liberation currently in the process of submission when national freedom should be non-negotiable upholding the inalienable right of all to be free.
Afghanistan restoring viable governance at all levels nationwide eliminating foreign and regional influence for vested prospects and strategic gains are the cornerstone in the emergence as a formidable state meeting self-sufficiency and reliability in resolving crises.
The leaders and people in Afghanistan are at crossroads to rescue the nation from chaos and persistent bloodshed affecting the social fabric of the present and future generation.
Afghanistan has unique opportunity to disinherit the identity as a failed state due to western policy premised on supremacy concept despite overwhelming Afghan sentiment expressing persona non grata to such enforcement.
The proof of Afghanistan valor and resilience is available in national legacy having thwarted perennial colonization not to mention the fate of empires viz. Britain and ex-Soviet Union dissipation following the misadventure.
Afghanistan can once again rise to the occasion in solidarity and assume control over national safety and other matter without dependency on powers responsible for economic debilitation and destruction of their land.
Wishing the heroic citizens of Afghanistan safe passage to peace with renewed hope for republic rule.
Peace to Afghanistan!
Peace to all!
Thank you.

FASCISM WRIT LARGE AS THE SO-CALLED DEMOCRAT
FYI : California Franchise Tax Board
Sacramento, CA
For the umpteenth time – Please refer to the third letter dated June 13, 2024 received by you with signed delivery confirmation. The letter with proof of tax payment on August 23, 2023 with 2022 tax return e-filing, bank confirmation on the payment and email references were all enclosed for your reference and settlement on this matter.
Yet, for political reasons the weaponization of taxpayer funded State and federal departments and agencies trending since 2009 – 2016 against then Republican Tea Party by Barack Obama in personal vendetta against them for questioning Barry Soetoro’s birth certificate was responded with terminating the Republican Tea Party in the first term in 2012. It was just the tip of the iceberg.
The trend then continued against political opponent Donald Trump from impeachment proceedings to libel suits with no end in sight.
Similar tactics deployed against me and my family by the same members i. e. The OBAMAS having abused and continue to use and abuse our presence, profile and all things politically and personally exclusively beneficial to them from DAY ONE until now by tagging, trolling, pirating anything positive and impressive for image enhancement despite being warned to cease and desist.
Notwithstanding thousands of $$$ fraudulently amassed from us by the fleecing scammers, abusers and parasitic exploiters till date make them indebted to me personally and my family.
Politics’ underhanded bullying and harassment is sheer desperation in the face of own extinction.
If you can’t express gratitude as the chief beneficiaries of our timeless sacrifice and benevolence, the least you could do is abandon the self-destructive attitude hurting you in the attempt to harm others.
By the way – nothing to do with Angel Reese and anyone with Brown last name in your nuanced attacks directed at me. They are all yours and you can keep them.
That goes for Kamala Harris – the name Kamala adopted from my explanation of my first name conveniently plagiarized for political and fortune harvesting in your end game once again for en masse deception like in 2009 – 2016.
The same resumed in 2021 – 2024 with blatant intention to extend the sham indefinitely with ludicrous WOKISM.
Originality and FAKE distinction is authenticity never in requirement to be anything other than true self unlike the impostor ever remaining fraudsters in vain.

Character Not Color That Ever Matters
Lord Ram emphasized on deeds aka Karma not creed that matter in living and after life.Dr. King – related to that by echoing the content of the character not color that matters.
It’s time to move towards clear aka colorless society and nurture the importance of deeds with merit and virtues instead of remaining stuck in color coding society. Such trend only reveal opportunism with polarization rather than unity and harmony amongst human race.

Organic Intelligence Erring!
The ones flaunting the so-called organic intelligence with constant jibes at the allegedly artificial intelligence could perhaps seek assistance from the latter in spelling adjectives correctly to make sense of the message. Even basic spell check feature would serve the requirement.
The country is indeed precious not prescious than any individual, entity, political party, institution and organization.
Needless to say, it is applicable all around without exception.
Unlike the trend, smothered in hypocrisy beckoning others to do what is apparently unacceptable to selves to the extent of blasphemy.
