Africa – Equatorial Guinea

December 26, 2021

Africa – Equatorial Guinea

Padmini Arhant

Source – Public Domain – 60 Minutes Australia on Equatorial Guinea further elaborate status quo.

It’s interesting to note that apparently not all authoritarian regimes in the world are bad in the eyes of global syndicate comprising corporate conglomerate from diverse economic sector worldwide. 

The oil companies for example like the counterparts in multinational operations appear to have no qualms with dictatorial governments, military junta, despotic leaderships…leading in oppression, persecution and gross human rights violation in the country they rule as a law unto themselves. 

As for the oil giants – the tradition to dig in the oil rigs sparing change in the form of royalty paid to puppet regimes installed as governments with rampant exploitation by oil behemoths trickled down to the population is regarded a fine setting. 

The global resources and natural endowments gifted by nature for survival and sustainability of all living species on earth amassed among the selective few is the norm.

The practice deserting overwhelming majority in generational debt and endless misery is the unfortunate depressing tale well into the twenty first century. 

The gluttonous greed has no boundary or limit. The policy is to seize any opportunity to excoriate earth endangering lives for exclusive benefits and privileges of the offenders as entitlement in the dark age. 

The exploitative behavior is resigned to all for me and none for you dogma feigning unfamiliarity and no acquaintance with satisfaction. The contentment factor is not in the equation in the over consumption and absorption of fortune at the native population expense. 

The appalling apathy to life other than own amongst exploiters engaged in ravenous deprivation is the last straw in human value degradation. The mega profiteers’ unconscionable indulgence ignoring the victims i.e. the citizens’ excruciating plight in the country with valuable oil and mineral reserves depleted by foreign corporation and their appointee as the head of the nation is definitely not unique to Equatorial Guinea alone. 

The commonality in dictatorial governments is rather than eliminating or alleviating poverty, they invariably attempt and authorize hiding impoverished conditions by prohibiting filming of the slums by domestic and foreign media. Alternatively, to create false impression divest public money i.e. taxpayers funds to raise a wall to veil economic reality in the poorer neighborhoods of the city. 

The global control by corporations viz. the oligarchs and their representative governments are primary contributors in expanding the gap between haves and have-nots diminishing hope and expectations among the lower income, the poor and the poorest denied better present and future. 

The pattern is established world over through greasing palm and grinding poverty co-existence with the nation’s leadership turning the back on own people abandoned to their ill fate.

Unless and until the corporate dominance and oligarchy rein over politics, economic and global affairs cease or at most contained, the human lives in most parts of the world would continue to bear no significance to political rulers and economic stakeholders defiant in maintaining status quo. 

Equatorial Guinea President Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo abuse of power, corruption and execution of opposition members might be least concerning to oil companies like Exxon Mobil and western partners in the profit game.

However, the selective western strategy to accept certain dictatorial systems as viable partners to suit economic interests and isolate any other as threat to humanity cast credibility issue in western position and assessment of democracy and humanitarian cause. 

The unequivocal fact in all of the above situation is the victims and victimizers leave the world without exception and only their deeds determine the onward destiny.

India – Politics Endangering Life

December 19, 2021

India – Politics Endangering Life

Padmini Arhant

The latest incident involving ruling BJP government Union Minister for State, Home Affairs – Ajay Mishra’s son Ashish Mishra in Lakhimpur Kheri, Uttar Pradesh accused of murder of four farmers and a journalist in addition to three more victims including 2 BJP workers adding to a total of eight fatalities in the gruesome voluntary manslaughter using a SUV driven by the accused in the incident.

The Indian Supreme Court directed Special Investigations Team have reported the following on the Lakhimpur Kheri Case.

The incident was a planned conspiracy. The four farmers were mowed down by the accused Ashish Mishra driving a SUV on October 3, 2021 killing four more individuals in the deliberate assault on peaceful dissenting farmers protesting the BJP’s anti-agrarian laws in the country. 

The background of the accused – Ashish Mishra is the son of Union Minister of State for Home Affairs, Ajay Mishra representing the BJP ruling government. 

“The public profile of the politician is – Ajay Mishra is a Member of Parliament in the 17th Lok Sabha. He is the current Minister of State in Ministry of Home affairs, Government of India. He represents the Kheri constituency of Uttar Pradesh and is a member of the Bharatiya Janata Party political party.”

Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government cabinet minister Ajay Mishra remains intact in his position despite the serious charges against his son in Lakhimpur Kheri case. 

This is not an isolated incident related to political party members causing civilian deaths with no repercussions to their political status in a system declared a democracy. 

On February 23, 2020  – the violence erupted against non- violent peaceful assembly of citizens on Citizenship Amendment Act, the controversial CAA passed by the BJP government in New Delhi.

The peaceful demonstration with men, women and senior citizens on CAA voicing their concerns on the legislation passed by the BJP government in December 2019 turned into a major tragedy. 

The participants in this instance were attacked by unruly mob instigated by interestingly yet another Mishra, the BJP Minister Kapil Mishra remaining in power until today.

The BJP Minister Kapil Mishra on public platform in New Delhi openly threatened the peaceful protesters on CAA adding they would be dealt with harsh force.

As stated the violence against the public on anti-CAA protest resulted in 53 casualties with majority among them reported as Muslims and others were the so-called Dalits of the Hindu caste based outcasts. The severely injured in this violence range from 200-250 and 2000 or more families reportedly displaced without any compensation or rehabilitation. 

The independent fact finding committee initiated by Delhi Minorities Commission (DMC) last year in 2020 concluded the violence on February 2020 qualified as pogrom after taking into account credible public testimonies and legal course reviewed complaints filed in the aftermath of the terrible communal onslaught. 

Similarly, Pragya Singh Thakur aka Sadhvi Pragya, is an Indian politician and Member of Parliament of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). representing Bhopal  Madhya Pradesh is another member in the category of politicians with criminal record.

The BJP MP Pragya Thakur accused of terrorism in 2008 Malegaon blasts case with ongoing trial on the matter is a sitting MP in the BJP ruling party. 

On the glamor front, Indian politics’ close ties and alliance with Indian cinema and sports recruiting film and sports personalities is a common trend across the political spectrum. 

The BJP MP from Mathura, Uttar Pradesh in the Central ruling government –  bollywood star Hema Malini’s direct involvement in hit and run manslaughter on July 2nd, 2015 caused the tragic death of a three-year-old child, reportedly a passenger in the car critically damaged in the head on collision with the bollywood actress public funded Mercedes Benz on the national highway junction Agra – Jaipur that fatal night.

The injured family with a child battling for her life in the car hit by the bollywood actress’ Mercedes Benz on the highway were abandoned by the Lok Sabha MP, supposedly the political representative of Indian citizens in the Parliament.

According to eyewitnesses – the accident clearly resulted from over speed of the bollywood actress vehicle. The bollywood actress Hema Malini insisting the driver accelerate to minimize travel time landed the driver and his family in indefinite misery with the driver booked and arrested for the fatality in the accident. 

Meanwhile the bollywood actress was absolved of any wrongdoing and to add insult to injury, the actress tweeted and reported to glamor enamored media that the deceased child’s family were at fault for the fatal accident.

There was no apology or remorse from the bollywood actress BJP MP Hema Malini on this preventable civilian death and collateral loss to others’ such as the driver and family’s plight. 

Last but not the least, the Bollywood star Salman Khan’s drunken driving leading to hit and run manslaughter claiming a pedestrian’s life and several injured is treated as a freak accident due to star studded factor.

The demised pedestrian’s family losing an earning member is a legal case with no end in sight. The Bollywood star Salman Khan is provided immunity by the ruling BJP government with the court case on this issue serving as the laughing matter on judiciary process. Not to mention the apathy to victims and lifetime impact on the victims’ family. 

These evidences suffice on the politics’ attitude and actions towards public, the citizens empowering them with political power and stardom.

Obviously, the ordinary citizens’ life bear no significance or relevance to those abusing the privileged status granted by the same people as electorate and audience in the political and social theater. 

Until today none of these individuals implicated and involved in these crimes with fatalities have been affected in terms of their political and celebrity status.

The political parties faking their pledge to defend average citizens on campaign trail continue to enjoy political impunity with no harm to their powerful disposition despite the latter harming and hurting public with no legal, political or social ramifications on crimes committed at will.

In the assessment of ethical, moral and humanitarian grounds, the question is appropriate.

Who needs such people endangering life with no regrets?

The worst of all them as chief representatives in politics and entertainment remain the existential threat to general public safety and well being.

The RSS run political party BJP with these members as their representatives is conveniently resigned to do nothing policy. 

Contrarily, the fundamentalist ideology rescue these individuals’ criminality with religious shroud chanting Jai Sri Ram, a blasphemous trait without a shadow of doubt in the contemporary tradition.

The only option and alternative is for the citizens as voters to remove them from office through ballots and reject politics proved detrimental to republic security.

Korean Peace Agreement

December 14, 2021

Korean Peace Agreement

Padmini Arhant

The leaderships in North Korea Kim Jong-Un and South Korean President Moon Jae-in agreement on declaration to end Korean war between North and South on December 13, 2021 is a welcoming beginning in the dawn of peace in Korean Peninsula. 

The formal agreement between the two nations i.e. North and South Korea to bring the prolonged conflict that was paused on armistice until now transitioning into conclusion of warfare is fair and appropriate.

Now moving forward the long overdue permanent peace treaty would transform the hope of Korean families on both sides in North and South into reality.

The leaderships in Pyongyang and Seoul decision to move away from warfare and proceed towards peace merit recognition and appreciation.

Though the accord weighing in on numerous factors understandably reached in principle in the present time, the leadership from North Korea – Kim Jong-un and South Korean President Moon Jae-in accelerating the process into practicality would be direct acknowledgment of Korean citizens essentially the families on both sides of the great nation of Korea. 

There is no doubt the people in Korea especially the citizens with relations on both sides of the country have suffered enormously and the people in North Korea in particular have endured tremendous challenges up until now. The economic plight of North Korean population could be alleviated in improving and fostering better ties with South Korea in every respect.

Similarly South Korean citizens could experience peace and tranquility without the dark clouds of warfare and uncertainty hovering over the peninsula. 

The news is also cordial for the neighbors like Japan and the entire South East Asian region deserving normal environment for economic activities and overall peaceful engagement all around. 

The responsibility and maturity is reflected in the much anticipated approach with expectation among citizens for consistency and continued efforts in perseverance eventually leading to successful reunification of Korea. 

Once again, the leaderships in North Korea Kim Jong-un and South Korean President Moon Jae-in maintaining peaceful discourse in the development of strong partnerships in all fronts would benefit the people in Korea in unison. The peace initiatives and involvements on both sides would eventually deliver the desirable outcome – Korea as one nation sharing the strengths and prosperity. 

Best Wishes on the Peaceful Reunification of Korea!

India – Paradigm Shift in Republic Status with CDS Post

December 12, 2021

India – Paradigm Shift in Republic Status with CDS Post 

Padmini Arhant

The Chief of Defense Staff (CDS) appointment as the military head and chairman of the joint chiefs of the three (Army, Navy and Air Force) armed forces was created on December 30th, 2019 by the incumbent BJP government under PM Narendra Modi.

The CDS principal responsibilities described as the pivotal command center integrating the three armed forces operational requirements. Alongside the CDS also features a fundamental change in the Indian Defense Force ultimate authority. 

According to the Indian Constitution established and enacted on 26th January, 1950 after India’s hard fought independence on 15th August, 1947, the President is elected by the members of an electoral college consisting of the elected members of both the Houses of Parliament and the elected members of the Legislative Assemblies of States and the Union Territories of India. 

Indian President’s key roles (1) chief of state, (2) chief executive, (3) chief administrator, (4) chief diplomat, (5) commander in chief, (6) chief legislator, (7) party chief, and (8) chief citizen. Chief of state refers to the President as the head of the government.

The most important amongst them and commonly known by public is the President as the Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Indian armed force. 

With the creation of Chief of Defense Staff (CDS) on 30th December 2019 by the ruling BJP government leadership PM Narendra Modi, the CDS reports directly to Prime Minister unlike the tradition maintained before CDS appointment for the Indian armed forces on India’s President oversight as the constitution titled commander-in-chief of the National Defense Force. 

In the wake of defense procurement controversy reaching a crescendo in November 2018 prominently the French fighter jets Rafale deal personally involving PM Narendra Modi and beneficiary Anil Ambani’s Reliance Defence Limited besides other lucrative defense contracts proven a cash cow generally in politics, 

The CDS brought under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s wing in December 2019 typically removing the President’s consent and supervisory position on Defense matter as the Supreme Commander-in-Chief is a paradigm shift in the republic status bypassing Parliamentary procedures in a democracy. 

The Prime Minister as elected member of a political party presiding over central government is equally subject to constitutional rule of law in any functional democracy. The arbitrary restructuring of Indian Defense Force revoking constitutional definition and duties of the President on Indian Defense Force command is a serious diversion allocating disproportionate power for the Prime Minister’s office. 

The unilateral decision on CDS post assigning the military head under Prime Minister’s administration in the absence of any Parliamentary hearings or debates on the critical transformation of power is a clarion call for any democracy to seek credible and valid explanation on the empowerment of Prime Minister designation. 

The surreptitious power enhancement at the helm for a democracy in particular is neither democratic nor representative of a true republic governed by the constitution of a nation. 

The BJP government in New Delhi under PM Narendra Modi providing appropriate reasoning behind CDS post implementing Indian Defense Force command transfer from constitutional directed President’s charge to political maneuvered Prime Minister control is imperative for clarity in the command system.

The clarification is crucial not only for citizens as the republic but relevantly for the Indian armed forces serving the nation at large. 

Notwithstanding the trend to extend and consolidate massive power at the helm in the present time increasingly endangering democracy and eliminating constitutional based governance in different parts of the world. 

As such there is little or no tolerance among the central and regional political factions in India to any legitimate constructive criticism on politics generated problems and crises.

There is no limit from political parties to exercise extra judicial authority to silence peaceful dissent and genuine concerns on social media.

The political parties in power and/or in opposition utilizing undemocratic political means such as the unlawful activities protection act (UAPA) ordinarily meant to protect citizens from national security threats are conveniently misused against citizens to curb democratic rights in the proclaimed free republic. 

India declared as the world’s largest democracy joining the ranks in such category is a serious challenge to the concept of free world.

India – Defense Force Tragic Events

December 11, 2021

India – Defense Force Tragic Events

Padmini Arhant

Indian Defense force -the fine and robust armed forces have recently under the present BJP leadership in New Delhi suffered many unfortunate tragedies like Pulwama attack on 14 February 2019 just before the national election in May 2019. The incident became the pivotal issue for the incumbent PM Narendra Modi on campaign trail displaying the army in the backdrop in direct violation of the election rule prohibiting any political party from using the defense force for political mileage.

The deadly Pulwama attack inside India on Jammu – Srinagar national highway claimed 40 Indian veterans’ lives in the suicide bomb attack targeting the Indian convoy at that time. The cross border skirmishes along India and Pakistan border in Kashmir continue with casualties that are not reported by politics owned media and press accusing others of being a mouthpiece while aptly fitting the same profile like the hand in a glove. 

Similar scenario on the Siachen glaciers in the north of Nubra valley in Kashmir region, the plight of Indian armed forces is extreme and bears significance. 

In the early 2020, amid the deadly SARS COV2 virus evolving into COVID19 pandemic from next door Wuhan, China, Beijing seized opportunity to accelerate aggression along the Himalayan region of Ladakh infiltrating into the demarcated Line of Actual control (LAC) with a standoff that resulted in more than 20 lives of Indian armed personnel in the Himalayan terrain. 

The long standing India – China dispute prolonged into military deployment with face to face confrontation in that point of location since February 2020 and continued until today is the status quo. 

Meanwhile, the BJP leadership in New Delhi PM Narendra Modi ignoring these national security threats and incursions along the north and north-east border and maintaining a social media account to assess own popularity on India’s chief adversary China’s social media platform Weibo even after Indian defense force martyrdom in May 2020 could only be interpreted as not complacency rather complicity exacerbating combat situations faced by the Indian defense force up in the Himalayan region nearly 18,000 feet above sea level. 

To add insult to injury, the BJP leadership in New Delhi around that time moving forward with tender bid from Beijing CCP owned and controlled companies on Indian Central government projects in the northern state Uttar Pradesh was apathy to Indian defense force challenges against the brazen Beijing’s PLA in the contentious hostile Himalayan fronts with considerable encroachment from PLA in the last 24 months alone. 

The latest tragedy involving the Chief of Defense Staff General Bipin Rawat and family along with high rank military officials and defense personnel on board chopper crash in Tamil Nadu hills is a serious setback prompting thorough investigation. The process is understandably underway by Indian defense forces inquiry attempting to reach the crux of the otherwise preventable calamity.

The probe would arguably seek besides malfunction and predictable glitches including weather vagaries, any sabotage from internal or external factors to rule out cyber attack on the transportation control system. It is important to ascertain these values to avert future mishaps and proclivity from anywhere. 

The BJP government leadership in New Delhi under PM Narendra Modi expending the Indian taxpayers funded exorbitant Pegasus spyware on critical cyber threats and intrusions from known adversaries adept in the trend would be wise investment.

Instead the technology misused translating into perversion against anyone located thousands of miles away in a far away land going about one’s life clarify the Indian government’s misplaced political priority endangering nation and citizens’ safety and security over unnecessary unethical undemocratic indulgence. 

Nonetheless, the nation’s defense force deserve due recognition and provisions sparing no deviations from security and sensitivity to modern overt and covert operational risks in the ultra technology era. 

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s long awaited press conference absent ever since assuming power at the helm in 2014 until now alleviating citizens’ concerns in this regard and plethora of problems would be a refreshing change in the debut of transparency.

India – Anti-Conversion Bill

December 8, 2021

India – Anti-Conversion Bill

Padmini Arhant

The latest fiasco from New Delhi government’s i.e. BJP regional ally in the South Western state Karnataka is the anti-conversion bill targeting this time not the muslims though they are on permanent list, in fact it is christianity in diverse cultural religious and yet secular India.

What exactly is going on in the ultra confused and fundamentalism infused regime in New Delhi and fewer states under BJP governance?

The religion phobia amongst hardline government in New Delhi under the guise of establishing India as the all Hindu state emulating New Delhi regime’s counterparts Israel as the Jewish state or the next door commonly referred to as adversary Pakistan and Afghanistan declared Islamic republics could only be comprehended as homogenous traits to impose political ideology on the backs of the religion. The religion is the scapegoat to implement majoritarian status ignoring the contemporary India’s social fabric drifting away from the politics designed divisive strategy.

Indian politics like in other so-called democracy heavily invest in polarization of society based on caste,  religion, class etc., analogous to United States politics driving the race, skin color such as Black lives matter, gender, sexual orientation and any excuse to deflect electorate attention from real issues confronting citizens in society.

The New Delhi regime behind their party government in regional Karnataka claim to protect Hindus in the state from proselytism – the forced conversion of person in one religion to another in reference to alleged evangelical approach towards vulnerable members of Hinduism in the state.  The bill eventually made effective nationwide is a possibility.

Whether proselytism is active or not from non-Hindu religions, those having converted from Hinduism to Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism etc. attribute their conversion from Hindu to other non-Hindu religions to caste discrimination maintained as tradition in society.

Indian politics have no desire in getting rid of casteism dominated with prejudice and untouchability in rural, remote and even in urban towns that treats people in the so-called lower caste not worthy of any respect. The political factions at the national and regional level betting their electoral win on caste based politics at society’s detriment in the quarter end of the twenty first century innately resigned to prejudice in casteism purely for political reason.

The BJP leadership in New Delhi is treading on the dual track with one foot promoting fundamentalism showing little or no tolerance to cultural and religious diversity. Not to mention the same ideologues pretending to safeguard Hindu religion are in fact committing sacrilege and blasphemy maligning Hindu religion’s Lord Ram and Hindu deities through violence and physical assaults against even the Hindu designated lower caste – the so-called untouchables aka Dalits and non-Hindu citizens essentially fellow Indians like Muslims, Christians and others in society.

The BJP leadership’s other foot is firmly placed in obliging marching orders from the international deep state in Europe, predominantly non-Hindu players executing their devious agenda via representatives like New Delhi government on global finance, economy, health and politics with serious consequences experienced by vast majority in India largely affecting the ordinary population.

Apparently, the BJP government in New Delhi i.e. the self-proclaimed Hindu orthodox adherence to Europe based deep state policy exemplifying conversion by the former to latter is not perceived a problem. This is in light of European deep state strong influence over current Indian politics summarily ruining lives and livelihoods forcing the frustrated unemployed youth in India to observe the BJP government head PM Narendra Modi’s birthday as Unemployment Day last year.

New Delhi government is economically committed to selective industrialists like Gautam Adani and Mukesh and Anil Ambani from Gujarat besides other business tycoons financing the PM campaign.

Politically, New Delhi priorities remain as enunciated above. On the one hand satisfying RSS fundamentalist ideology as BJP motto and the other judiciously carrying out European deep state economic and financial system restructuring and reconfigurations regardless of adverse ramifications on the economy and financial status leaving the 1.3 billion citizens’ present and future hanging in balance.

The New Delhi government’s religious nationalist fervor representing the political dogma could be directed in the surrender of wealth held in Swiss Bank accounts and other tax havens beginning with PM Narendra Modi’s Swiss Bank balance INR 19,800 Crores and Home minister Amit Shah’s INR 1,58,000 Crores are merely the tip of the iceberg. 

The aggregate total of the above account holders and other members of political class, economic and entertainment sectors exceeding $5,000,000,000,0000 i.e. US$ 5 Trillion could easily provide for India’s economic growth and massive development. 

These members’ current balances could surpass the above mentioned amounts since the updates are never disclosed neither by Swiss Bank nor the account holders at the cost of national treasury and average citizens as taxpayers and contributors to the state and national economy.

Not to mention the illegal money stashed in foreign accounts enriching those nations economy and draining the source economy viz. the Indian economy leaving significant population in abject poverty, hunger and disease that is hardly ever a concern for New Delhi government and their allies in different parts of India.

Eliminating casteism and corruption would alone deliver substantial social and economic progress to people in India shackled to domestic and foreign subjugation.

The Indian politics is the underlying factor in denying the long overdue development yearned by citizens across the spectrum transcending false barriers in human classification in society.

Indians rising to the occasion with one voice in rejecting casteism and all form of discrimination against anyone alongside demands to return wealth held in offshore accounts back to the country beginning at the top to the bottom without exception is the true path towards emancipation.

Anti-Democratic Political Systems

November 22, 2021

Anti-Democratic Political Systems

Padmini Arhant 

What is the biggest threat to political leaderships heading governments in contemporary politics?

Without a shadow of doubt – Democracy.

A real functioning vibrant democracy is feared the most and regarded serious threat to leaderships amassing power slighting constitution. The individual rights, liberty, free speech, peaceful assembly and democratic principles are systematically contained and eliminated in many instances to rein control over citizens and nation at large.

The elections transformed into mere formality with the convenience of electronic voting machine serving in voting irregularities to transfer and/or reject votes for the desirable outcome. The democratic process is subverted to suit political agenda.

As for the press, media variety – they are utilized as state propaganda machinery disseminating information to mislead and misguide the captive audience.

The law enforcement is misused citing national security. The police in uniform are deployed on the streets not for public safety and security rather to silence and disburse the frustrated farmers’ peaceful demonstrations or citizens fearing unconstitutional laws aimed at their fundamental citizenship rights like in India.

In the United States – the citizens opposed to vaccine mandates are isolated for seeking state recognition on basic rights concerning health matter.

The irony in the United States federal and certain states law on vaccine mandate is the democrat party in power cherish pro-choice policy in reproductive health to appeal to women electorate across the party lines during election. The House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s recent trip to the Vatican to lobby on the contentious matter considering the religious influence on members following the faith exemplify the democrat party leaderships political interest.

However, the ruling democrat administrations at the federal and many states are against pro-choice on vaccine issue. The individuals regardless of political affiliations are voicing their legitimate concerns over personal health either having experienced adverse effects from COVID vaccine or witnessed and passively endured serious ramifications to their loved ones including tragic loss of lives prompting them to protect individual discretion on personal health barring state interference.

According to the sources behind vaccine campaign, the COVID vaccine related negative effects are statistically lower despite extreme reactions amongst some vaccine recipients since inoculation of the population. The position highlights apathy to the families and victims facing real problems on vaccine associated response at individual level.

The democrat governments and other government agencies COVID vaccine mandate tied to jobs ignoring citizens’ genuine reservations is paradoxical to democrat party favored pro-choice on women’s reproductive health. While the democrat governments and those favor pro-choice on one i.e. the reproductive health, the pro-choice denial to vaccine resistance based on individual health history clarify undemocratic political decision.

The political systems in contemporary politics are increasingly apathetic to citizens’ rights and instead engaged in suppression of the republic status.

The political leaderships in other so-called democracies on the other hand are preoccupied in strengthening their power alarmingly leaning towards authoritarian style. The classic symptoms of such governance is evidenced in overt control over press, media, entertainment and communication outlets besides using them for state indoctrination.

The public tax payers funded government agencies like income tax, intelligence apparatus and technology resources are used against government critics and those targeted as obstacle to anti-democratic governance.

The general environment in present politics is to undermine democracy, decline constitutional rights and laws, violate individual rights at state’s will…are the pre-cursor to end republic status.  They are by no means democratic or in the least independent with liberty and justice for all.

There are reports emerging in the supposedly world’s largest democracy viz. India on unlawful detentions of citizens without due process for valid reasonable discussions on government’s utter failure to address COVID health disaster, economic shambles and above all massive corruption.

The citizens are apprehended under the Central and State maintained UAPA – unlawful activities protection act.

The controversial UAPA inarguably executed by the Central i.e. New Delhi and State government viz. Tamil Nadu among several others following suit for self and vested interests. The UAPA is not set up to rescue the state or the nation from any domestic or foreign threats as falsely claimed by the political establishment. The UAPA is arbitrarily imposed against anyone exposing corruption and criminality in governance.

The UAPA is a dangerous precedence and designed to repress republic rights against draconian measures and tyrannical regime evolution at the central and state authority in India. 

Elsewhere, the Russian federation is distanced from democracy with leadership extraordinary power and extra judicial actions against opposition denying any rights to contest election or participate in public address of overwhelming majority seeking free and fair access to alternative political thoughts and factions in the country.

The Russian citizens having been subject to anti-democratic conditions up until now deservingly yearn for revival of democracy, credible elections with multi-party contest unlike state declared election result as the majority representation in Duma to amend constitution aimed at extending status quo.

The other undemocratic interventions like internet censorship, filtering and monitoring the information flow in the cyberspace against own citizens are inherent authoritarian functionality represented in name only democracy and overt dictatorial rule.

The world has suffered and paid enormous price in blood and treasure under anti-democratic leaderships and political systems. The public revolt against hard-line unconstitutional laws and egregious violent crackdowns are testament to extremist governments removal from power.

The prominent western democracies taking pride in own democratic systems while direct or indirect involvement in installing, promoting, nurturing, fostering and funding dictatorial regimes worldwide such as the Middle East, Latin America, Africa, South and South East Asia… are responsible in many ways in depriving the population in these regions from freedom, sovereignty and territorial integrity.

Again the western and any other foreign infiltration not possible without internal entities and political interests’ treason in nations entrenched in corruption, mass deception and violation of public trust.

Power corrupts human mind and absolute power corrupts those at the helm absolutely and ultimately delivering inevitable expulsion from authority.

The government accountable to taxpayers and electorate is democracy. The reversal i.e. people fearing government as the intimidating authority is tyranny. 

The gamble against democracy never proved gainful for those exploiting citizens’ patience and republic resolve. The republic awakening and empowerment is the only saving grace for constitution governed democracy.

India – RSS BJP Religion Spin

November 10, 2021

India – RSS BJP Religion Spin 

Padmini Arhant

The ruling political party RSS and BJP government exploiting religion, God and communalism is the legacy. The trend institutionalized by Prime Minister Narendra Modi since assuming power in 2014 until now is the last thing India needed with the nation brought down on its knees in every front under this government. 

The economy in doldrums, health disaster in neglecting corona virus ravaging effect consuming millions of lives with India leading the worst affected chart, national security compromised with China’s invasion of the Himalayan region and occupation of Ladakh and north eastern territories that are barely contained extending the standoff between the two most populous nations. 

The RSS mentored BJP government under PM Narendra Modi embarked on religion spin targeting Indian Muslims and Christians in multicultural and diverse religions nation such as India for political reasons is history repeating itself under this government.

The Godhra incident in Gujarat back in 2002 resulting in the loss of thousands of lives with majority muslims and many Hindus killed in the state sponsored communal violence under then Chief Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah is a dark episode in the political career of both members now reining control over the nation as the national leaderships causing trepidation among the minorities and marginalized Hindus nationwide. 

Kashmir has been indefinitely in lockdown prior to the pandemic and the situation in the valley worsening with no access to real journalism or press and media due to New Delhi’s curfew ever since the region was transformed from the autonomous state with state legislative assembly to central government run union territory in 2019 soon after the BJP government’s second term in office. 

The revocation of Article 370 in the Indian constitution related to the state of Jammu & Kashmir was PM Narendra Modi’s commitment to RSS political agenda. 

Now PM Narendra Modi playing the religion card in Tamil Nadu via BJP’s defacto faction Naam Tamizhar headed by Seemaan – verified as Simon – Tamil Christian in public domain. Naam Tamizhar Chief Simon aka Seemaan engaged by BJP to rake the mud using religions i.e. Christians and Muslims in India as European settlers and Arabic invaders per public statement by the latter.

The reality on present Indian minority groups in these religions clarifies them as Hindu apostate – the demography designated as the backward class (BC), other backward class (OBC), untouchables, outcasts, scheduled caste (SC), scheduled tribe (ST)…etc. converting to Christianity, Islam and Buddhism to break away from Hindu caste based discrimination and isolation in society. 

The BjP leadership in New Delhi strategy on caste and religion divide to win election in Tamil Nadu and other states is unruly and undemocratic causing rift and tensions in society confronted with myriad challenges primarily caused by government failure to address any issues in the past and present. There are no plans either in the immediate future except fomenting communal and religious frictions and  unrest to gain and remain in power. 

In Tamil Nadu, the BJP government in New Delhi has  political factions working in their favor. The one mentioned above Simon aka Seemaan’s Naam Thamizhar promoting BJP’s religious polarization, the other being the Tamil film industry actor Vijay Makkal Iyakkam winning 115 of the 169 seats in Tamil Nadu rural election in October 2021.

Similarly, the political party by yet another Tamil film actor Kamal Hassan proved a BJP decoy to tilt votes making headway into Tamil Nadu politics. Furthermore, in this instance the prefix in actor’s name Kamal surreptitiously represent the BJP party symbol Kamal adding clarity to those aligned on caste based i.e. the so-called upper caste demography loyalty to the actor’s caste identity.

The Tamil film industry actor party is a BJP wing with Naam Thamizhar deliberate religious controversy at BJP’s behest driving the vote base to BJP’s Vijay Makkal Iyakkam making the entry into Tamil Nadu to reek havoc like in Uttar Pradesh and other states in India.

Interestingly, the Tamil film actor Vijay is publicly stated as a Christian and BJP’s anti-muslim and anti-christian rhetoric spread via Naam Tamizhar faction Simon aka Seemaan falsely claiming to represent minorities in Tamil Nadu is BJP’s political ploy to drive minorities to BJP funded Vijay Makkal Iyakkam.

BJP’s religion caste abuse proudly touted as the Chanakya tactic in action to crawl into Tamil Nadu.

The Tamil Nadu electorate is perhaps unaware of the behind the scenes developments and dramatic political games from the center deploying stooges in Tamil Nadu having excess baggage like illegal money stashed away by movie actors given their exorbitant price tag regardless of the film success or failure. 

The BJP government especially PM Narendra Modi’s policy targeting members with such vulnerabilities threatening them with income tax raids or buy them out with political position in quid pro quo is a well known fact.

The adage – Old habits die hard aptly fits the profile and performance. 

The public awakening to these developments is not an option but in fact critical to save democracy in crises right now.

United States – 2016 and 2020 Presidential Election

October 28, 2021

United States – 2016 and 2020 Presidential Election

Padmini Arhant

Presidential elections 2016 and 2020 comparisons in reactions and actions following the election.

The 2016 Presidential election was considered a done deal with a foregone conclusion of the democrat Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton as the winner even before the election was held in the nation. The democrat Presidential contender Hillary Clinton is by far the most vetted candidate considering a sprawling yet highly controversial political career beginning in Little Rock, Arkansas to the nation’s Capital Washington, D.C. 

The democrat Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s reluctance and defiance in accepting the previous 2008 election outcome in democrat primary against her democrat rival then Senator Barack Obama was viewed world wide. 

In 2016 the democrats primary election was fraught with internal conflicts within the party. It also involved the murder of then young 24-year-old Seth Rich, a democrat party worker shot dead in broad daylight in Washington D.C. The democrat party worker Seth Rich’s death barely caught media attention. Needless to say it did not bear relevance in the democrat party either. Seth Rich a democrat was the defacto democrat candidate Bernie Sanders supporter. The unlawful activities within democrat party in 2016 primaries prompted the democrat party worker Seth Rich to alert other fellow democrat workers due to serious ethical violations that eventually led to the resignation of then democrat party chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz, a democrat Congresswoman from Florida. The former DNC Chair Debbie Schultz was the democrat candidate Hillary Clinton’s strong supporter at that time. 

It was clear the democrat party primary election and nomination in 2016 was an internal battle with candidate Hillary Clinton reserved as the Presidential nominee and even going further, the President-elect in the domestic and foreign collaborative efforts to implement agenda in different aspects upon their preferred candidate Hillary Clinton assuming office in January 2017. 

Unfortunately for them, the 2016 turned out to be a major disappointment when the 2016 election delivered results against the democrats and foreign alliance anticipated outcome. The most aggravating issue for them was then Republican Presidential contender Donald Trump emerging the winner in 2016.

It would not be an exaggeration to describe the reaction and actions thereafter as all hell breaks loose from the democrat political party and those expecting the pre-ordained victory for their Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. 

The election night on November 4th, 2016 onwards up until January 2021, the dismissal of 2016 election result claiming the alleged Russian collusion dominated United States politics and congressional matter. The democrat party die hard supporters from different fields ranging from Hollywood to organizations affiliated to Clinton foundation and factions having invested $$$ in Hillary Clinton campaign were up the ante and launched personal attacks against then Presidential winner Donal Trump and campaign. 

There were some from Hollywood threatening  to blow up the White House while other so-called comedian actress exhibited her poor taste by holding a severed dummy head of the former President Donald Trump. She did not shy away from her public statement that in the real event there would be no ketchup alluding to violent regurgitation. 

Then there followed Robert Muller Committee wasting United States tax payer dollars to investigate the so-called Russian collusion in 2016 election. Even though the alleged Russian collusion well known as a political hatch by the accusers organized within Hillary Clinton campaign, the theatrics continued in Congress disrupting governance at all costs and any means to prove the myth about 2016 election. 

It did not end there. The series of investigations against the former President Donald Trump campaign and cabinet members not barring the former national security advisor General Michael Flynn and several others were subject to surveillance and FBI investigations in the extended Russian collusion allegation. 

The impeachment proceedings were also conducted against then serving President Donald Trump not once but twice setting precedence in American politics to indict the democratically and duly elected President between 2016 until January 2021.

The saga beginning in November 2016 until January 2021 is not yet over as it continues targeting members and individuals evident in the ongoing developments that are clearly politically motivated than moral or legal grounds behind these pursuits. 

Fast forward in 2020 election, the incumbent President Donald Trump securing the media confirmed 74 million votes though the actual figure falling anywhere between 80 – 84 million votes declared unsuccessful.

The real time voting and vote tabulations paused and intercepted in world view on election night in November 2020 arguably created dissatisfaction and mistrust in electoral process among the 84 million voters who voted for their incumbent candidate  President Donald Trump in 2020 election.

Furthermore, numerous voting irregularities and violations were noted and publicly substantiated during specific county election hearings viz, the Maricopa county in the state of Arizona that were not easily granted either.

The biggest travesty in the 2020 Presidential election debacle is the United States Supreme Court denying hearing on the matter. The 84 million voters represented as the electorate, United States citizens and taxpayers were declined a hearing at the highest court in land speaks volume on the democratic status or the lack thereof. 

Unlike the 2016 Presidential election, the 2020 Presidential election was adequately proved in public on foreign collusions, participation and deep involvement such as the real time vote tabulation in Berlin, Germany server rather than the United States technology resource.

The dissolved company in Spain hired in the voting machine calibrations and the fact dominion voting machine used in the election is reportedly Canadian based and not in the United States as would be required in any free and fair democratic election are incontrovertible. 

The direct influence of Beijing, the offshore billionaire George Soros directives known for interference in foreign elections and economies, the so-called social media viz. Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Vimeo…unsocial  undemocratic rules preventing and punishing alternative views, voices and concerns constitute meddling in 2020 electoral process. 

Above all, the Facebook’s founder Mark Zuckerberg’s unlawful investment in the democrat Presidential political campaign to a tune of half billion dollars in direct violation of election commission’s campaign donation limit not exceeding $2,900 per election for individual contribution was slighted in the 2020 Presidential election. 

The episodes in 2020 Presidential election breach is a setback for democracy and constitutional subversion. The foreign intervention starting with Beijing, the U.K. based billionaire George Soros and other foreign entities listed in the National Intelligence report suffice electoral interception. 

Internally, the domestic media, press, judiciary as well as state legislative assembly in the seven disputed states were a major let down for the American electorate expressing regrets and frustration over their votes not being counted and rejected in the 2020 Presidential election. 

Regardless, the 2016 Presidential election results were challenged throughout the four years term in office of the former President Donald Trump. 

In contrast, the 2020 Presidential election with conspicuous violations in the domestic and foreign front qualifying as rigged election maintained as fair and flawless mandate in itself is an irony.

Not to mention the contemporary crack down on discussions related to 2020 Presidential election exemplify zero tolerance to free speech. The constitutional right to present different perspectives in a democracy attracting politically charged repercussions is indicative of hard line policy in semblance with anti-democratic system viz. Beijing, China. 

The 2020 Presidential election is a victory for Beijing and anti-democratic elements evading responsibility on the pandemic triggering economic shut down in the United States Presidential election year. 

The two Presidential elections conclusively differ in civil democratic applications and compliance revealing the intoxication of power. The vulnerabilities with internal and external saboteurs exacerbate individual rights undermining constitution in the overt subjugation of the republic to legitimize illegitimacy.

India – Indian Democracy Litmus Test

August 18, 2021

India – Indian Democracy Litmus Test  

Padmini Arhant

India Reacts to Status Quo

 

यह क्या हुआ? कैसे हुआ? कब हुआ? क्यों हुआ?

अब यह तो सोचने वाली बात हो गयी ।

जनता जनार्दन ने बरसाये अपने अंगारे । यह तो होना ही था।

कभी भी आम जनता को कमज़ोर नहीं समझना चाहिए । ना ही उन्हें ठुकराना चाहिए।

यह बात नेता या अभिनेता को समझना चाहिए ।

अब आयी बात समझ में?

कच्चे और पक्के खिलाड़ी को भी समय और करम के सामने झुकना पड़ता है । यही है प्रकृति के नियम। जिसके आगे किसी की मर्ज़ी नहीं चलती ।

हर हर महादेव ! जय माँ दुर्गा !

जय श्री राम !

Har Har Mahadev!  Jai Ma Durga! 

Jai Sri Ram!

——————————————————————-

Prime Minister Narendra Modi – the head of the ruling political party and BJP government is the first authority in Indian politics to have never held a press conference in the seven years of ruling the nation.

In other words, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has successfully evaded the open public press conference since assuming power as the head of the government in 2014 up until now.

In contrast, PM Narendra Modi’s previous and latest appearance at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland in January 2021 confirms the solidarity with behind the scenes operatives on global affairs.

While PM Narendra Modi judiciously complies with World Economic Forum, Davos, Switzerland initiated and implemented Great Reset targeting global finance and economic activities exclusively favoring core stakeholders in the global market share,

The Indian PM Narendra Modi unable to address public grievances and disapproval of the incumbent’s performance is a major impediment in a democracy.

PM Narendra Modi’s pledge to World Economic Forum agenda was also forthcoming and diligently carried out through demonetization in 2016 under false pretext of retrieving black money.

The irony in this context is PM Narendra Modi holding black money in Swiss Bank account and leading the rest of the account holders from India in black money hoarding.

PM Narendra Modi dropped hints in the recent Independence Day speech on August 15, 2021 in reference to India’s preparedness to follow the secret society run New World Order in the present and post pandemic. The notation in the speech was perhaps the PM Narendra Modi’s signal to New World Order authority on India’s willingness and readiness to obey instructions from them.

Above all, PM Narendra Modi also mentioned in the speech about imminent cash circulation reduction without divulging any further details on this important issue.

However, it is imperative for the vast population in India surviving on cash economy in the formal and informal sectors to know about this inevitable change that would drastically impact their existence especially in the absence of viable alternatives for the cash wage earners on daily wage unlike any regular income households in the economy.

Among many secretive sinister activities hidden in Great Reset from the World Economic Forum, eliminating cash economy and substituting with options that are yet to be revealed to the world besides the existing cash replacements like debit, credit cards and crypto currency is critical information for the public.

In the cancel culture era with social media censorship in dismissal of democratic principles and values on free speech, truth and factual data, the public concerted efforts to remain informed is paramount to avert irreversible consequences now and in the near future.

PM Narendra Modi once again in the front line synonymous to 2016 demonetization debacle to execute World Economic Forum’s policy removing cash transactions is a serious venture.

The repeat engagement ignoring cataclysmic financial and economic effects on the majority of Indian population still experiencing grueling economic and pandemic crises is egregious and merit general public attention. The citizens exercising the democratic rights to question the Indian government’s precise action in this regard is fundamental and relevant.

On the other hand, the Indian government failure to disclose the facts and decisions on containing cash economy in adherence to World Economic Forum’s controversial Great Reset would serve as the litmus test on India’s political system as a democracy let alone the world’s largest democracy.
