Political Narcissists
Padmini Arhant
Quit your narcissism once and for all for your own sake as the world was not created by you.
Neither any of you, your proxies, pawns, puppets and sleazy crony contingency from wherever possible have any right to exert your narcissism against those whom you obviously envy and despise exhibiting your deep insecurity and inadequacy in every respect.
None of your manipulative, conniving, misogynist hypocrisy would ever serve your narcissistic goals as you collectively in this league should be able to realize regardless of your flamboyance in the so-called original brain and intelligence (?) of yours which you as the combined weaklings proved otherwise reflected in status quo on global matter.
If at all any of you had an iota of reasonable thinking enabling you all to exercise your reasoning faculty if you possess(?), you would shed your hubris, egotistical megalomaniacal idiocy and reconcile terms with reality.
The above outlined characteristics of yours adequately describe your declining decadent era and your consolidated treacherous dominance never to return ever again.
The birth of Palestinian statehood is the reality much to your draconian colonial mentality.

Update 10/13/2023: The air raids and white phosphorus rain on nearly 2 million civiiians in the densely populated Gaza enclave in the past few days is war crime.
The revenge game makes earlier claims on the onset pale as eye for an eye only results in the avengers’ imminent and inevitable disaster.
Palestinian statehood is long overdue and is the only solution ending Israeli occupation and colonization of Gaza, West Bank and East Jerusalem.

———————————————————————————
The latest warfare between Israel and Palestine in the most volatile region entirely at the cost of precious innocent civilian lives on both sides is extremely regrettable and deeply reprehensible.
The topic will focus on the embattled long embroiled yet preventable crisis in modern history.
Meanwhile, the political actors, facilitators and assortment of elements behind this bloodshed, brutality, carnage and chaos inflicted on both sides with massive human casualties could no longer prolong the fire power and terrorism of any kind holding unarmed civilians hostage in this mayhem.
The ceasefire is not an option but a requirement to settle the long standing dispute once and for all.
No bombardments and / or missile launches from either direction is the solution to the ongoing military and militant aggression on either side.
I convey my sincere heartfelt condolences to victims and families in Israel and Gaza Strip unnecessarily subject to protracted barrage of artillery and especially the repeat use of white phosphorus and other heinous crimes against population enduring historic pain and suffering exacerbated in the recent exchange.
Further details to follow in presentation in due course.

Politics – Abusing Power and Taxpayer Money

Abusing Power and Taxpayer Money
Padmini Arhant
The visual content elaborates politics’ core violations in many dimensions and dynamics flouting rules, regulations, laws and legislations passed by them but not necessarily complied with by politics. The rules and laws are apparently only meant for the generally law abiding society leaving those in politics at the helm and influential sources to run a muck in breach of public trust and electoral mandate at every opportunity.
Politics is the fundamental cause for human suffering and misery.
It’s time for politics to come clean and accept responsibility for egregious decisions, dysfunctional governance, negligence on economy, gross abuse of power.
Above all, politics is the epitome of corruption and criminal dealings evading accountability with self-granted political impunity.
Politics surrendering personal illegal wealth – the people’s money stashed away in tax havens, illegitimate assets and foreign bank accounts is quintessential for validation of politics as lawful.
Relevantly, politics accounting for taxpayer money with budget reconciliation and fiscal expenditure besides politics partners in Federal Reserve and economic sector accounting for their share of public money under their authority acquired as privilege is critical to maintain taxation and tax collection from ordinary citizens burdened with enormous responsibility of funding government and allies lasting over generations.
The governments not accounting for taxpayer money forfeit the right or authority to collect taxes from citizens deploying diverse aggressive tactics and weaponizing citizens’ funded government agencies and apparatus against the republic – the people representing the nation at large.

Indian Politics Reality
September 23, 2023
Indian Politics Reality
Padmini Arhant
The excerpts from CBC News on the assassination of Canadian Sikh Harjit Singh Nijjar.
India – the country as the most invaded nation on earth by colonial powers to modern day treasonous power mongers in collusion with anyone baiting pseudo hall of fame, false felicitations and monetary rewards in quid pro quo is the status quo.
In exchange, the unaffordable economic transactions are forged at taxpayers’ expense benefitting the external political and internal specific oligarchs’ interests while leaving the overwhelming majority naked in impoverished conditions much to own embarrassment prompting the New Delhi regime to shield the existence of those population with temporary wall in Ahmedabad, Gujarat earlier in 2020 during the former U.S. President Donald Trump’s visit and recently September 2023 in New Delhi prior to G20 summit.
The supposedly largest democracy only proven major hypocrisy in light of rigged elections, unaccounted financial investments in horse trading involving buying and selling of elected representatives with illegal money in the state and national election in the absence of single party majority to form government nationwide and at the center is the norm.
As for the profile of political members in Indian politics in people’s assembly and the upper house of the Parliament, again alarming members have criminal records ranging from corruption, forgery, embezzlements, rape, murder to treason and relevantly terrorism.
The matter Indian politics asserts as national issue despite being the epitome of terror and horror to many in Kashmir, northern state of Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, North eastern states, Central states and remaining regions of the country.
The current regime – Bharatiya Janata Party, not long ago the western determined dangerous right wing fundamentalist denying travel visa to the incumbent PM Narendra Modi, then Chief Minister of Gujarat for the incontrovertible evidence in the massacre of thousands of innocent women, children, youth and elderly – largely Indian Muslims and fair percentage of Hindus falling victims to Hindutva leaderships heading Gujarat orchestrated communal riots and social unrest in 2002.
The key witnesses and testimony from Indian government employed IPS officer like Sanjiv Bhatt and several others sentenced to life imprisonment on false charges, incarceration and even murder of those daring to speak the truth on then Gujarat government and leaderships’ direct engagement in the gruesome atrocity.
The indelible crimes of Godhra violence in 2002 and subsequent gross human rights violations by then incumbent CM Narendra Modi led to arrest warrant issued in the state of New York.
The arrest was averted with then democrat President Barack Obama executive order for a right wing Hindutva leadership confirming politics’ convergence regardless of political affiliation. The gesture converted the political beneficiary – the alter ego of the empathizer.
To the contrary, the current democrat administration run by former President Barack Obama hardly cease pursuits of the opponent, the former President Donald Trump conveying through state media on the possible arrest of the former Republican President.
Bharatiya Janata Party, the political wing of the radical militant RSS, the ideological organization hijacking Hinduism colluded with colonialists in pre and now post independence India.
Under the current leadership of Narendra Modi, the party and government appointed cabinet ministers are associated with incendiary violent attacks, unleashed abominable human rights violations against any and all segments classified anti-Hindu.
The BJP members and allies instigating unspeakable crimes are fertile grounds for local disturbance through discriminatory central government policy -normalized in nature.
The latest being Manipur – the northeastern state riddled with inter community confrontations between Hindu and Christians resulting in grotesque killings of the latter not barring parading two Christian women of Kurki tribes bare naked in public square with the younger one gang raped by Hindu tribe wiping out her male members of the family in the slaughter.
The Hindu tribe in return facing retributions from those victimized… the BJP central government and state leadership tone deaf to these developments exacerbate pain and anguish on al sides until now.
In other violent episodes, the regular assaults, prejudice, isolation and marginalization of Indian Muslims, the so-called Dalits of Hindu Caste deemed untouchables in the backdrop of moon landing, the unsettled plight of Kashmiris and much more country wide elicit the Indian state of affairs under the current leadership.
The pertinent problem with BJP attracting huge credibility issue on terrorism is the sitting BJP member in the people house of the Parliament viz. the Lok Sabha. The member is none other than the controversial Pragya Thakur, having served jail time on terrorism for her pivotal role in bomb blast near Mumbai in the western state of Maharashtra.
The PM Narendra Modi personally campaigned for the election of the convicted terrorist Pragya Thakur in 2019– last general election not only ignoring then BJP candidate’s terror conviction and imprisonment but also slighted Pragya Thakur inflammatory remark hailing the assassin of the world renowned India’s freedom movement leader Mahatma Gandhi as the hero.
The BJP including PM Narendra Modi in agreement on memorializing the assassin Nathu Ram Godse with a statue in city square further explain the intense fundamentalism rife with acrimony towards peace and secular India.
In contrast, the photo op moments accompanying foreign leaders to late Mahatma Gandhi resting place (samadhi) laying wreath clarify the fake sentiment towards the slain leader aka India’s father of the nation.
The BJP representing RSS, whose member Nathu Ram Godse assassination of Indian leader Mahatma Gandhi, was the initialization process evolving into by far the most violent terrorist organization and political party wreaking havoc in the past and present century.
Indian politics, besides radical BJP, is representative of nepotism, dynasty, celebrity from film industry and sports, industrialists and royal remnants…in the much touted world’s largest phony democracy.
The government leadership at the center and politics craving for 24/7 good or bad publicity never miss opportunity in the wanton quest for prominence for all the wrong reasons to be in limelight.
Indian politics introspection on trajectory sponsoring terrorism on own soil against the minorities, marginalized, disadvantaged, disenfranchised and relevantly journalists, writers, authors, human rights activists and lawyers, environmentalists… persecution and arrests are paramount prior to presiding over elimination of purported terrorism against India by foreign citizens.
India’s enemies are within the political establishment and domestic shores substituting previous brutal foreign authorities. The complicity and complacency abusing power is the monumental betrayal of the nation and ordinary citizens since time immemorial and intensified in the present age.
The nation with commencement of terror in the assassination of the leader Mahatma Gandhi, instrumental in the independence movement is the tell all about the defiantly incorrigible polity.
Accordingly, Indian politics branding anyone else abroad a terrorist is a far cry.
These are serious events that should be raised by people in international domain with their governments and anyone maintaining ties especially the west’s public love-fest with the once western characterized Hindu fundamentalist leadership – Narendra Modi.
These events also shed spotlight on western democracy values, care and concern or the lack thereof for human rights at home and abroad.
Only evil would nurture evil.
History is testament to western demolition of democracy worldwide with the latest in Ukraine in 2014,. The ramifications of which endured by Ukrainians, Russians and the world at large – specifically the United States draining U.S. taxpayer dollars funding the ongoing war in the once peaceful Ukraine.
The western interventions until now stymieing democracy world over delivered extraordinary challenges for the targeted nations leaving them in worst possible conditions than before interference.
The western meddling in backing authoritarian regimes under the guise of democracy submissive to western agenda, invariably prioritizing profit, economic interests and strategic dominance at any costs not barring own citizens and armed forces lives easily dispensed as collateral damage revealing western hostility to real democracy and life in general.
Case in point among many world over – the CIA involved violent overthrow of the only democratic leader of Iran Dr. Mohammad Mosaddegh for the premier’s decision to nationalize Iran’s oil resources to benefit Iranian lives, the move rejected by the west in view of huge impediment to Dutch Shell Oil company and British Petroleum etc.
The outcome – Iran is now under the control of theological hard line rulers banning women’s rights, individual freedom and anything related to democratic principles all of which the western world apparently sidelined and formalize nuclear status, the key demand of the Iranian theological hierarchy much to their western ally Israel’s contention.
However, the moral on the western immorality of crushing democracy with tinpot dictatorships and authoritarianism is the western sponsored dictators and autocrats have met the inevitable fate on every account either by western authorized public lynching or their own oppressed citizens’ sentencing of the criminal leadership.
They were witnessed in once strong western allies – Iraq’s former President Saddam Hussein and Libyan leader Colonel Muammar Gaddafi, among others far and wide were western partners as long as they were in compliance with the western format and caveat.
The minute they falter or demonstrate change of heart and mind, that was crossing the red line for western deal makers moving ahead with the termination of not only relations, their lives as well in the commonly executed action.

Politics of Opportunism
September 23, 2023
Politics of Opportunism
Padmini Arhant
The end is upon politics of opportunism capitalizing on anyone and anything positive, productive and peaceful that do not belong to them. The same applicable to wicked crooked strategy to attack opponent (me) using stock from own inventory.
Simultaneously, distancing from everything negative, counterproductive and destructive that squarely has their name written on all of them.
The trend is classic opportunistic politics. The entourage of diverse crony contingency and sycophancy could no longer defend the indefensible trajectory and incumbency.
The real democracy never ban press freedom, decline press meet on own soil or prohibit international press session during major global event like G20 summit.
Neither silence alternative perspectives nor shun voices of dissent in a functional democracy.
Importantly, would focus on getting own house in order prior to seeking international acclaim on matter distinctively lacking integrity and credibility due to abysmal failure to defend domestic sovereign territory.
Politics subscribing to patronization obnoxiousness and above all whose survival hopelessly rely on the charity of those – the people referred to as plumber and various other service industry funding politics’ payroll via taxes is an irony.
Notwithstanding their votes required for legitimacy to flaunt titles along with otherwise defunct political system without ordinary tax dollars financing the government apparatus and agency weaponized against the providers – the taxpayer public at large.
Never forget the monarchy, oligarchy and their loyalists in politics and elsewhere are nothing and nobody without people – the same folks as the members of the work force and largest consumers facilitating oligarchy existence and boom, the type of people sneered and jeered on whom the monarchy and politics exist over generations in the endless parasitic culture.
The scenario is no different with entertainment industry – recruited by politics to wag tail as the propaganda machinery like the media. The audience from the lowest economic strata in particular among others make the zero to hero status in the entertainment sector expending daily wages and meager income.
No kingdom or fiefdom possible in the absence of people in the working class, middle class and any other denomination created for the purpose of dominance by the dependent class exerting authority.
There is a clear distinction between as to who the real rulers are and who are the ones obligatory to serve as the appointees in public service?
Clearly – the republic represented by people across the spectrum including the ones routinely denigrated by ignorant politics marred by hubris, are the actual ruling class hiring the latter for public service.
By the way, what is the political jibe on plumber?
If a plumber does not show up when your pipes and drains are clogged, the situation would turn ugly and messy like your politics.
Hopefully at least that understanding is prevalent in politics habitual of fostering despot tin pot dictatorships for personal and vested interests.
Reminder – as explained earlier in this website – Google search engine is no magical kingdom offering results on anything.
The search engine is the data base collecting and collating data from all over in the digital format conforming to hardware and software algorithms.
More so now with user privacy made obsolete allowing cyber monopolists to track, tag and troll users in the absolute invasion of personal rights at the mercy of monopolists’ discretion.
Not to mention the google CEO ethnic origin is from the domain as the Indian politics citing google search as generic information to evade own accountability.
Identity Politics – get over your trans mania sparing human race of any kind from your exploitative political narcissism.
Instead come clean on your transmutation with anti-humanity, anti-republic, prejudiced self-serving evil forces running amuck abusing power to the core.
These political doctrines and much more to follow in visual presentation.
Please stand by.

United States – 9/11 Anniversary
September 11, 2023
United States
–
9/11 Anniversary
Padmini Arhant
September 11, 2001 – the fateful day when the United States – the Superpower in economy, military and nuclear might, the state of the art technology, powerful resources and enviable means at disposal was allowed to be attacked despite prior knowledge, adequate warnings and credible information about the event well ahead of time.
Yet then administration headed by the former President George W. Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney, the CIA, FBI, National Security and the remaining government apparatus let the catastrophe befall on innocent Americans and many foreign nationals together exceeding 3,000 lives lost on the single day in world view.
The event then unfolded politics to set rules shackling democracy, individual rights, civil Liberty and all that proudly proclaimed as United States insignia on freedom. The move unanimously legislated in Patriot Act, establishment of FISA (foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act) initially meant for foreign terror suspects then extended against American citizens as permanent surveillance that had only gotten worse in the present time.
The successor Obama – Biden enacted National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) granting self with extra judicial execution power at the executive branch besides subjecting American civilians arbitrarily under military tribunal rather than civil court system.
The preventable 9/11 terror attack not only chained United States freedom with pervasive impact world over experienced in travel and other lifestyle changes, those awaiting the momentous assault on American sovereignty via 9/11 spearheaded their long aspired agenda – the ominous Project for New American Century (PNAC) to invade hosts of nations overseas beginning with Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Iran, Sudan…on their list.
While the invasion and occupation of all those foreign nations in PNAC were carried out in successions between Bush-Cheney administration followed by Obama-Biden to complete the mission, the bulk of the foreign onslaught under the guise of false Arab Spring became the hallmark for Obama – Biden administration from 2009 – 2016.
Due to Bush – Cheney and Obama – Biden administrations partnership and shared engagement in violent military interventions overseas, the human rights breach with respect to Guantanamo Bay and foreign based prisons such as Iraq’s Abu Ghraib prison holding terror suspects without due process via abductions and other hostile activities…the predecessor Bush – Cheney era gross violations in every respect emulated and advanced to extreme level under Obama – Biden reign.
Accordingly, all of them are guaranteed and protected with political impunity on treason, corruption, criminality and human rights violation at home and abroad.
The democrat party having seized power in 2008 highlighting Bush – Cheney administration crimes till date could barely afford time or interest to pursue the predecessor Bush – Cheney on any of the monumental atrocities and displacement of democracy.
Meanwhile tirelessly squander tax payer dollars against their predominant common foe – Donald Trump with multiple indictments and mug shot in different angles claiming the political theatrics and showdown as American justice.
Understandably, the partners in crime such as the administrations since 2000 – 2016 resumed in 2020 – until now are unified in keeping American freedom and sovereignty under siege executing anti-democratic plans and policies not barring the cataclysmic pandemic hatched going back in 2002 onwards and the deal sealed in 2015 unleashing the deadly virus on American population and humanity at large exactly at the start of United States Presidential election year in January 2020.
Was it a mere coincidence that the pandemic happened in the Presidential election year 2020?
The democrat political party and leaderships since 2009 – 2016 and 2021 – 2023 extraordinary cooperation and complicity sparing their predecessor Bush – Cheney administration’s political, constitutional, legal and ethical transgressions from any inquiry or investigations as held against their successor Donald Trump from 2016 till date provide clarity on mutual pact amongst members of political establishment in Washington transcending party affiliation.
In other issues, there are some interesting correlations and contradictions in the events coinciding elections in the so-called democracy and otherwise.
The parallel developments nearing election season with the fate of formidable opponents targeted by the ruling power settled on extending terms in office regardless i.e. within or beyond term limit if not indefinitely are uncanny defining the obvious about who is following whom in dismantling democracy.
The election in Russia is carefully watched and monitored by the United States as it is the case with the rest of the world. The Russian election arouse American political interests from adversarial perspective producing topic of discussion.
The main focus is on the conspicuous anti-democratic practice by the long term Russian leadership President Vladimir Putin alternating roles as President and Prime Minister…vice versa. Nonetheless maintaining absolute control over the Russian Federation.
In general, elections are a mere formality to convince electorate of their voting rights and subsequently the elected and the electorate subjugation is inevitable under campaign bidders and financiers’ greater influence and clout.
The Russian election is witnessed with violence against political opposition emerging from people protests demanding fair and equal opportunity to political opposition and factions to compete against the permanent ruling power especially under President Vladimir Putin.
Russian President Vladimir Putin’s consistent actions against the one and only political rival Alexei Navalny with others largely surrendered to status quo is self-explanatory on Russian democracy denied existence.
The Russian political opponent Alexei Navalny imprisonment and various charges leveled against the political contender, the allegations usually mounting around election time in Russia is in itself attract international attention and concern.
Although, the Russian President Vladimir Putin argue that the political contestant Alexei Navalny is a western appointee to stir political chaos in Russian politics, the Russian leadership’s reaction in handling such situations further generate anti-ruling power sentiments amongst silenced Navalny supporters and moderate thinkers in Russian society and overseas.
The ruling authorities anywhere crackdown on opposition with income tax raids and sometimes even arrests on unsubstantiated charges on their soil squarely describe the democratic conditions or the lack thereof.
Unfortunately, the strategy is the norm in contemporary politics in most parts of the world and prevalent in the so-called democracy as the world’s largest, modern or nascent in nature.
The tradition thus far suggests the ruling power’s preference on no opposition or in the least opposition in name only representing in mere numbers on taxpayers’ funded payroll.
Similarly, the United States touted as the beacon of democracy, the democrat political party and the influencers within the establishment contentious aggressive obsession of their arch nemesis in the form of Donald Trump Presidency right from winning election in 2016 throughout and until the present time with unprecedented congressional hearings, impeachments, indictments pending life imprisonment do not appear to satisfy the vindictiveness in their mind and unresolved acrimony.
As stated above, the similarities in Russian and United States Democratic Party attitude and approach towards strong political contender whether Alexei Navalny in Russia or Donald Trump in the United States are apparent.
The current administration and United States politics criticism of Russian President Vladimir Putin in this context is called out as authoritarianism and dictatorial.
Juxtaposed, the incumbent administration and political party imposed series of judgments and legal quagmire against the leading political front runner in the opposition viz. Donald Trump is justified as protecting democracy and constitution that has long been laid to rest unraveled in the horrendous 9/11 terror on American mainland and recently during the pandemic.
Suffice to say that 9/11 terror catapulted violence, military invasions, terrorism and importantly heralded state terror against citizens in domestic and foreign shores flouting accountability at the cost of millions of lives falling victims to the abominable crime against humanity executed in the abuse of power and electoral mandate.
Anything carried out at the innocents and vulnerable victims’ expense is self-perilous and bear enormous burden on the perpetrators and colluders of such crimes.
Remembrance and gratitude to the brave souls as fire fighters, paramedics, medical professionals as well as thousands of volunteers from civil society for their selfless participation and sacrifice to save lives on 9/11/2001 and the pandemic.

Africa and African American Plight
August 8, 2023
Africa and African American Plight
Padmini Arhant
The oppression through colonization and dominance is prevalent in human history since time immemorial.
The abuse of power authorizing massacre, prejudice and persecution under domestic leadership towards own citizens on religious and other communal distinction is heinous crime against the nationals that are common in recent memory.
The head of the state triggered by personal hatred and power mongering evolving into despotism exceeding human tolerance in sponsoring violence, abject discrimination, isolation and marginalization of community, segment and targeted demography are the worst human rights violation that are condemnable. The authoritarianism guided by irrational egregious decisions are unacceptable reprehensible misuse of authority.
Accordingly, along side shedding light on African American slavery in black history, it is equally important to note African population experience in Africa under African leadership with nations embroiled in civil wars laden with brutality, genocide, abhorrent violence and annihilation across the continent throughout twentieth and twenty first century.
African nations prominently Uganda under violent authoritarian General Idi Amin earning the title – The Butcher of Africa involving gruesome killings and self-admitted cannibalism, Rwanda, Ethiopia, Eritrea – Ethiopia war, Sudan, The Democratic Republic of the Congo, Côte d’Ivoire, Nigeria in religious discrimination triggering Christian – Muslim clashes…are mere examples in Africa’s violent history towards own race.
The Angola civil war between communist and anti-communist groups subsequent to independence from Portugal occupation in 1975 prolonged for a while claiming lives all around.
Needless to say, the indiscriminate arms supply to warring factions within Africa besides from western sources and later new economic power joining the ranks i.e. China profiteering at all costs remain ceaseless till date.
Somalia reduced as pirate state with sea pirates incidents on the increase on the Indian Ocean and international waters.
Likewise, more nations in the east, west, central and North Africa have continuously faced civil unrest, political turmoil and bloodbath until today with Niger leading the headline in the latest political chaos in the country.
The majority of political turbulence arise from internal and external coup, collusion with foreign powers in destabilizing governments, massive corruption and surrender to the will of treasure hunters predominantly past and present colonial dominance.
In this context, the South African leader and former President Nelson Mandela was compromised in exchange for freedom following more than two decades of imprisonment and submitted to western demand on unfettered access to South African economy and resources such as minerals and diamonds.
The stipulation also accompanied denuclearization of South Africa.
In essence, the freedom of South Africa was based on handing over resource rich economy and nuclear power – the driving forces in the twentieth and twenty first century determining geopolitical and economic strength, that were otherwise held under direct possession of the former colonial regime enforcing apartheid – the Dutch Afrikan government from South African President P.W. Botha until the last Presidency F.W.De Klerk in the end of apartheid era.
Notably, the South African President and leader Nelson Mandela honored with Nobel Peace Prize compared to senior counterparts in African freedom movement forced to meet the much anticipated fate of assassination.
Among them, the young brave courageous leaders and heads of State like Thomas Sankara, the former President of Burkina Faso and Patrice Lumumba, the former Prime Minister of the Democratic Republic of the Congo…both of whom were mercilessly assassinated by western power for their unwillingness to commit treason against their nation and importantly the people in their respective nations in Africa.
In African continent – the domestic struggles due to internal discord and cultural, ethnic divide are far from over.
South Africa’s ethnic tribal conflict related to Zulu and domestic tribes were fraught with killings and atrocities over a period of time.
The treatment of women subject to genital mutilation practiced till today despite international intervention to eliminate the life threatening custom.
The alarming report in this instance – More than 200 million girls and women alive today have undergone female genital mutilation (FGM) in 30 countries in Africa.
African children deployed as child soldiers in civil wars are compelled to bear the weight of artillery rather than satchel with books and education materials to shape their present and future.
More updates to resume shortly.

Israel – Democracy in Crisis

Israel – Democracy in Crisis
Padmini Arhant
No government whether Presidential or Parliamentary touted as proud democracy or otherwise is above law.
The day government declares and demonstrates as such undermining judicial autonomy and limiting the constitution granted power to the highest court on land, the last bastion for citizens in a democratic system, that government is no longer democratic.
The political leadership and party facing corruption charges evading accountability targeting judiciary to remain in power is a serious blow to democracy and fundamental rights of the people.
Notwithstanding government in power blatant rejection of checks and balances to be represented by effective political opposition in the legislative body and the other being judiciary interpreting and applying constitutional law that are lately considered inconvenient obstacle by the executive branch.
The anti-democratic wave in democratic system is antithesis to government of the people, by the people and for the people.
The governments of different political party and factions in coalition and / or as rare majority are guests hosted by the permanent members – the citizens as the electorate in a democracy.
Any effort and actions implementing laws to suit government or political leadership and party discretionary will against that of citizens is violation of voters’ trust and mandate.
Israel is being led into undemocratic environment despite citizens’ protest nationwide, a national scene only witnessed until earlier in states established under one party rule and leadership positioned as the ultimate authority.
These developments are unhealthy for democracy dragged into unnecessary turmoil.
No political party, leadership, government, individual or entity is ever greater and more important than a nation and its people, the only true representation of sovereignty and republic.
The governments are elected in or out of power whereas the people continue to carry the nation through generations in the present and future.
It’s time for governments, bureaucracy, the legislative members and above all the executive leadership to respect and uphold the laws they pass and legislate for the states and rest of the country and exemplify in compliance of the rules and regulations especially on corruption scandals and other ethical moral issues confronting them during and post term in office.
The failure in this regard prove government’s lack of credibility and aversion for the rule of law they pass for the general society to abide by which majority of population do world over.
Unlike the government as authority flouting the same when it is incumbent upon them which is unfortunately the common trend in the abuse of power regardless of democracy or authoritarian style of governance.
Anything exceeding the norm is never sustainable and stymieing ethical standards conforming to treason is far from exception and unacceptable transformation.

Politics’ True Colors and Anti-Semitism

Politics’ True Colors and
Anti-Semitism
Padmini Arhant
Update: July 24, 2023 Acknowledgment of own crime and sins in the present time with repentance rather than outreach to events in the past century for political reason define human character.
Politics’ penchant for monument is universal. However, evading responsibility and submission to common law on personal monumental crimes such as the ones listed below is second nature.
Politics’ committing crimes against own folks and families seizing the victims’ rights to live via gruesome killing and their offsprings related to political power denied parental and family support in non-acceptance lay bare facts on reality.
All said and done, charity begins at home and getting one’s own house in order prior to minding others is the place to start for credibility.

————————————————————————————
Politics known for race, religion and contemporarily human anatomy baiting in identity distortion to masquerade corruption scandals, criminality and utter failure in governance embarked on political theatrics is least surprising.
Anti-semitism branding is the rancor among those who care less about Semitic or any other human classification in the politics manufactured social divide, sectarianism and communal polarization.
Interestingly, the politics crying foul on the so-called anti-semitism is yet to come clean on these horrific crimes committed by politics with political impunity.
The politics abusing power and authority at the helm authorized cold-blooded murder of innocent civilians is the existential threat to ordinary citizens falling prey to predator instincts.
The former first black Presidency Barack Hussein Obama of the democrat party is accountable for the brutal slaying of African American young mother Miriam Carey gunned down by security personnel of African American Presidency and family in public square in 2013 abusing ordinary citizens as electorate granted power against people.
Similarly, the democrat political party is incumbent in opening the case subject to public hearing on the murder of democrat political party aide – the merely 24-year-old young Jewish male – Seth Rich shot dead in broad daylight in Washington D.C. following the internal controversial email leak pertaining to scandalous 2016 Presidential election involving then contentious democrat nomination of Presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton sidelining then Jewish Senator from Vermont Bernie Sanders in the democrat Presidential primary.
The murder of democrat political aide, the Jewish Seth Rich associated with democrat party internal turmoil under then Chair of the Democrat National Committee, Jewish Deborah Wasserman Schultz, during tumultuous 2016 democrat Presidential primary is apparently not relevant and never considered worthy of investigation let alone be anti-Semitic that otherwise loosely attributed as such against politics’ target.
As for Israel’s politics and representation in the United States politics in absolute entirety pledging allegiance to the State of Israel than the United States Stars and Stripes as well as constitution, the United States politics’ tradition speaks volume on loyalty and commitment translated in eternal multi-billion dollar financial, military and technological aid to economically affluent Israel.
Contrarily, the status of economic and financial dependency of the newly born once poorest nation Bangladesh in South Asia was denounced by Jewish patriarch, the former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger quoting the South Asian nation Bangladesh as a “basket case” – referred to as the state on western aid for survival.
Bangladesh since then has evolved into a nation of self-reliance with impressive economic growth and development competing effectively with regional economies in the twenty first century.
With Israel, United States politics unanimous consent and servility to endlessly serve Israeli interests at United States taxpayers expense allude to renaming United States of America as the Jewish State of Israel.
The United States political trait on Israel surpass those in Israeli Kenesseth comprising local political factions forging alliance in Israeli politics on the path of displacing democracy undermining judicial autonomy in the centralization of power at the executive branch.
Welcome to the era of democracy in serious crisis in systems proudly touted democratic with events unraveling democracy in distress.
The latest political synchrony is in compliance with the current anti-democratic trend in politics premised on dismissal of checks and balances evading responsibility and accountability on corruption charges and crimes at the apex misusing public office and violating electorate trust.
Anti-semitism – The sensitivity to Jewish life and sentiments in public or private statements however not barring invasion of privacy and intrusion via policing, spying and eavesdropping…prevalent as political prerogative invariably attract censure and censorship.
Juxtaposed, politics engagement authorizing killing of unarmed innocent victims whether black or white in racial composition and Christian / Judaism or any other faith such as the African American Miriam Carey or the white Jewish democrat political aide Seth Rich and,
In Israel – the heinous murder of American Jewish human rights activist Rachel Corrie, then 23-year-old squashed to death in March 2003 by Israeli forces run bulldozer for her plea to stop the demolition of thousands of Palestinian homes in the Israeli forces controlled Gaza Strip.
The question now arise on Jewish life and anti-semitism that did not seem to matter to Israeli authorities in the State of Israel authorizing the violent killing of a young woman Rachel Corrie of Jewish origin by those claiming to be faithful to Judaism and Jewish lineage.
The Israeli authorities decision to bulldoze a young woman alive did not take into account the bleeding hearts of her Jewish parents in the United States hopelessly forced into accepting the violent death of their daughter in the hands of Israeli politics setting precedence in indiscriminate violation of human lives and rights.
The parallel in this crime and that of Nazi activities in the previous century reflect commonality in unhinged political atrocity.
The politics deployment of violence against innocent lives in the United States, Israel or wherever witnessed against African American Miriam Carey, Jewish Seth Rich and Rachel Corrie besides several unreported crimes callously ignore human element to value life.
Instead pretend to highlight importance on color, creed and religion etc. all for personal and political gains in the increasingly hostile political environment endangering citizens’ lives in the misconstrued political power.
These actions reverberate louder than any political rhetoric on campaign trail or monetized advertisements to mislead voters at the onset of election and especially American Jewish lobby for Israel transforming American politics and U.S. taxpayers – the sole benefactor of the state.
The latter reluctant to set itself free in economic independence and refrain from political dominance over the former.
Meanwhile, ordinary citizens continue to pay the price as casualties exposing politics’ true colors and the much propagated anti-semitism.
