United States – Conflicting Policies And Contradictions on Human Rights Violations

July 23, 2015

By Padmini Arhant

United States declined Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari request for arms to combat Boko Haram militant group during recent meeting at the White House on July 20, 2015.

Boko Haram is Nigeria’s nightmare wreaking havoc in daylight as well.

Nigerian President Buhari briefing on the militant faction Boko Haram incessant violence since 2009 having claimed at least 10,000 innocent lives and abductions of women and girls in large numbers did not receive White House empathy.

Accordingly Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari reaction to White House position is United States aiding and abetting Boko Haram.

United States exemplary record in this context cannot be slighted due to significance of the issue.

Palestine:  United States with Congress approval of annual $3 billion in military aid besides monetary assistance to ally Israel prolong violent occupation with continuous oppression, persecution and killing of children, women and men in Palestine.

Egypt:  United States $1.4 billion annual aid allows for U.S. direct control over Egypt military and political affairs suppressing human rights in Pharaoh land.

Libya:  The North African nation is a weapons warehouse to United States and western sourced stockpiles with Saudi Arabia and Qatar as chief distributors to terror operatives in the Middle East and North, Central, East and West Africa.

Yemen:  United States supplied F-16’s and diverse military hardware with armory to Saudi Arabia relentlessly used to decimate oil rich impoverished nation.

Bahrain: The Gulf state headed by Al-Khalifa regime hosting United States naval fifth fleet is a regular recipient of conventional arsenal from United States through Saudi Arabia and Britain’s defense contracts for use in the violent crackdown of pro-democracy movement up until now.

Syria:  United States sponsoring terrorism with ammunitions cache channeled via Croatia to Saudi Arabia reaching terror networks conflated with Qatar and Turkey arms provisions perpetuate conflict in Syria giving birth to al Nusra Front, ISIS, ISIL from the original al-Qaeda spreading across to Iraq, Lebanon and beyond.

Afghanistan:  Taliban and al-Qaeda access to arms and ammunitions made available from poppy cultivation and dealing with drug lords under United States and NATO operation.

Pakistan:  United States latest agreement on arms flow to Pakistan is to maintain the nation as terror haven subjecting Pakistan citizens to hostile conditions besides cross border tensions and incidents involving neighbors on all sides viz. India, Iran and Afghanistan.

Latin America:

South America: Colombia:  The South American nation with oil reserves and producer of gold, silver, platinum, emeralds and coal is United States military base. Colombia lately became the launch pad for United States predator drones in the region.

United States intelligence agency instigated killings of Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) leaders and FARC retaliation sabotage peace talks with Colombian government.

Caribbean & Central America:  United States extensive military and intelligence presence predominantly to topple democratically elected governments notwithstanding drug trade is the bedrock for corruption and political instability.

North America:  Mexico:   United States fast and furious program under incumbent administration facilitated weapons flurry to Mexican drug cartels prompting massive bloodshed and population exodus along the border.

United States intelligence apparatus linked to latest event with drug lord el Chapo – Joaquin Guzman escape from maximum security prison causing embarrassment to ruling government is self-explanatory.

United States traditional indulgence and sprawling activities having increased at an alarming rate,

The White House response to Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari plea to contain Boko Haram, stating United States law prohibits arms sales to nations that fail to tackle human rights– is a comedy mocking tragedy and highlights United States conflicting policy worldwide.

The solution to Nigeria situation is for government to intercept and prevent arms procurement by Boko Haram and affiliates with tough measures blocking delivery passage alongside pursuing militant group to surrender and end external forces backed terror outfit.

Contemporary dogma on war and terror is to promote extremism and militancy not barring cannibalism witnessed in Syria defining decadence era conclusion.

Military might presumed right only to discover the idea was not bright.

Peace to all!

Thank you.

P5+1, EU Nuclear Deal – JCPOA Endanger Iran and Israel

July 21, 2015

By Padmini Arhant

Iran Nuclear Deal – the prolific nuclear powers P5+1 engagement with non-nuclear state Iran on non-nuclear proliferation is the irony to begin with and the purpose was to contain Iran from developing a nuclear bomb predominantly to protect the only nuclear state Israel in the Middle East.

The illegal sanctions on Iran were to be lifted in entirety in exchange for Iran’s commitment to limited nuclear activity.

As I mentioned earlier, Iran’s self-declaration on oil and natural gas reserves in possession lasting over hundred years essentially negate the need for nuclear energy.

Nonetheless, the uranium enrichment for nuclear medicine and scientific programs solely directed towards life saving projects do not require external approval due to notable difference in quantity otherwise involved in manufacturing nuclear weapon.

Iran’s Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif and Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) Ali Akbar Salehi discussed the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) between P5+1 and Iran in Majlis i.e. Iranian Parliament.

Foreign Minister Zarif stated that Iran’s objectives were achieved in the deal and they are – establishing the nuclear program, enrichment and retaining the heavy water reactor.

Iran’s Foreign Minister Zarif also mentioned about termination of sanctions on nuclear program along with enhancement of Iran’s missile capabilities in addition to removing trade and financial embargo.

The Foreign Minister also emphasized that Iran has never been and is after nuclear weapons.

Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization Chief Ali Akbar Salehi briefing on JCPOA to Majlis clarified on the provisions of the agreement meant to restrict Iran from advancing towards nuclear bomb, however there are no constraints on the country’s nuclear sector since the Islamic Republic has never sought to build such weapons.

Objectively speaking, the Vienna agreement has allowed Iran nuclear program to remain intact creating false impression to Iran of P5+1 and EU having acceded to Iran’s nuclear rights.

Accordingly the foreign entities (P5+1 and EU) determined Iran as the nuclear power in the Vienna document that was adopted at UNSC with the contentious snap back mechanism reversing the JCPOA outcome using singular veto from the United States or any other ally assuming higher likelihood of Iran’s breach of contract as specified in the UNSC material.

Similarly the economic and financial sanctions are not necessarily removed despite such claim alongside stipulation in the UN resolution for sanctions to linger on for 10 years with five years extension upon initial term expiry.

The decision by P5+1 (P6) and EU obviously reached with the mindset of Iran violating the deal in the 10 years timeframe or in subsequent five years period.

Hence the statement on Iran as a nuclear power in the agreement prior to any acquisition now or in the immediate term.

Israeli authorities protest to P6 plus EU and Iran pact on the possibility of Iran transforming to nuclear power during economic boom from sanctions relief combined with P6 and EU relaxation on Iran’s nuclear sector ignore the snap back option in the agreement.

There are two scenarios from the opposite sides drawing attention.

Israel assertion on Iran bound for nuclear status regardless of snap back clause in UNSC resolution.

Perhaps Israel’s concerns are Iran’s preparedness towards Israel’s established pre-emptive strikes and provocation currently witnessed in Pentagon’s wanton rhetoric of military action against the Islamic state.

Iran stance on non-nuclear aspiration in the past and present that could not be affirmed for the future with the guarantors of today not being around tomorrow.

Contemporary issues are being addressed on short term basis neglecting repercussions in the long run.

When arriving at consensus on matter of greater importance affecting lives, the assessment of negative impact with appropriate remedy should be part of the solution.

JCPOA fails to accommodate Iran’s response to any fabricated account to derail the process. The option to revive sanctions with veto could trigger Iran reverting to nuclear goals.

With unpredictable future preventing destructive course would be wise rather than enticing Iran into entrapment prevalent in the pact.

The genuine peace accord would comprehensively and unconditionally eliminate sanctions against Iran on economic, banking and financial sector given the illegitimate rule exercised by UNSC exclusive club with veto power.

Israel’s anxiety could be alleviated upon Israel’s compliance on nuclear non-proliferation treaty becoming a signatory and exceeding expectation with nuclear disarmament i.e. dismantling Israel’s Negev Research Center, Dimona site would aptly qualify the self-proclaimed Jewish state to campaign on anti-nuclear enhancement.

In return Iran abandoning nuclear programs and shutting down sites would be fair and equal without any known or unknown JCPOA incidents prompting such actions.

Israel and Iran’s mutual and simultaneous nuclear disinheritance would guarantee peace and stability in the region.

United States administration belief that JCPOA would prohibit war in the Middle East with persisting conflicts in Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, Palestine and Libya is misleading in context and reality.

Israel and Iran convergence on nuclear strategy divergence is the best viable option.

Peace to all!

Thank you.

Political Election – Synopsis on NWO Matrix

July 18, 2015

By Padmini Arhant

Synopsis on election and re-election presented for reference and understanding.

The election is the means to legitimize illegitimate conglomerate rule reining authority over world politics, economy, press and communication media, entertainment, education, environment, social issues and religion.

The election essentially an event that facilitates cash flow and money laundering in the so-called democracies with highest bidder and the wealthiest seizing power translated as electoral mandate.

Political parties buying votes with notes notwithstanding counterfeit currency distribution in the election confirms similar offers to election commission turning a blind eye to fraudulence.

As a result any claim on electoral victory with impressive margin in pseudo democracy where nowadays major political parties opt out to compete in by-polls allowing re-emergence of corrupt and scandalous to regain power unopposed is nothing more than complicity honoring external diktat.

The topic will focus on selection deceptively conducted as election asserting incognito rule – the new world order (NWO) matrix in myriad format.

United States – The re-election of incumbent President Barack Obama in 2012 strengthened MIC – the military industrial complex, Wall Street and Zionism control within and outside the country.

France – In 2012 the election of Socialist President Francois Hollande pledged to Capitalist Socialism and Imperialism revival especially in Africa replaced pro-military and corporatism President Nicolas Sarkozy despite the former French President bombing of Libya in 2011 to appease incognito power.

The karmic effects on President Sarkozy is profound having been the recipient of $50 million from the Libyan leader Colonel Muammar Gaddafi in the first term election campaign led air raid on Libya that led to public lynching of the benefactor Colonel Muammar Gaddafi.

Perhaps the French President Sarkozy hoped for NWO forces support and instead received infidelity with their choice to beguile French electorate on the supposedly Socialist contender – President Francois Hollande.

Germany – The re-election of Chancellor Angela Merkel for third term in 2013 and selected for fourth term in 2017 as international creditors insurance to prolong failing EU and euro zone only expediting the inevitable fate.

Britain – Prime Minister David Cameron sworn into second term with the conservative majority TORY in 2015.

Prime Minister David Cameron was acknowledged for accelerating hegemonic goals – the sale of defense contracts far and wide benefiting BAE and the military industrial complex (MIC) at large besides cooperation in conflicts viz. Libya bombing, Syria and other hegemony endeavors.

Prime Minister David Cameron dubbed the chief sales executive for the defense industry was not without a reason.

Russia – The alternating in positions of Prime Minister Vladimir Putin with President Dmitri Medvedev in 2012 re-established Putin Presidency for third term. President Vladimir Putin dominant presence as Prime Minister and President of the Russian Federation contributes dynamics in the NWO matrix.

Ukraine – Following violent overthrow of democratic government and removal of then President Viktor Yanukovych and the cabinet,

EU and United States govern the eastern European state imposing the government in Kiev in 2014 with President Petro Poroshenko and Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk  in the pro-western territory leaving the pro-Russian eastern region under Russian Federation purview.

Iran – President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad departure paving way to President Hassan Rouhani arrival in 2013 allowed reconfiguration with ecclesiastic representation for NWO influence.

Israel – The resurgence of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in 2015 for fourth term promulgate Zionist ideology – defying peace, stability and rationality.

India – The election in 2014 providing respite to ally Congress by favoring another Prime Minister candidate Narendra Modi of BJP familiarized as Hindu fundamentalists and RSS Saffron Party along with factions forming NDA alliance directed towards feudalism beginning with seizure of land from farmers in the land acquisition act and extends NWO matrix in South Asia.

Pakistan – Saudi dynasty funded election enabling embattled Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif in 2013 is convenient in continuing political maneuver and terror operation with Saudi Arabia being hegemony financier.

Afghanistan – Installation of government headed by President Mohammad Ashraf Ghani – the signatory to unpopular BSA – Bilateral Security Agreement for United States and NATO indefinite occupation is least surprising to secure NWO geopolitical ambitions in Central Asia.

Japan – Prime Minister Shinzō Abe also re-elected in 2012 delivering promise to NWO – in direct violation of electorate trust and constitution passed the contentious security bill that reserves Japanese armed forces for combat situation abroad despite absence of any direct threat to the island nation.

Greece – The debt saddled Mediterranean state with high political turnover since economic crisis in 2008 participated in more elections and referendum than experiencing relief from financial burden.  

NWO banking legion through representative German Chancellor Angela Merkel commandeered Greece premier Alexis Tsipras of the ruling Syria party to fall in line and implement more austerity on Greece population.

The election and re-election in the past years and up until now present the clear picture of new world order – NWO matrix exerting dominance through proxy governance.

In order to maintain status quo sovereignty is stripped and transformed into vassal statehood with loyalty to NWO agenda – feudalism, militarism and oligarchy suppression of the republic enforced via election.

The situation raise poignant question – Is election serving or hurting electorate interests with unlimited financing and multinational bidding in behind the scenes management leading to the appointment of pre-determined candidacy?

Accordingly the participation in polls under such conditions is endorsement of illegal tradition.

Unless the custom together with operatives and nominees are rejected election would remain catharsis for voters and catalyst to exploiters in the political game.

Peace to all!

Thank you.

Iran – UN Resolution on Sanctions And Stipulation

July 15, 2015

From: Padmini Arhant

UN resolution on sanctions and stipulations in the Iran nuclear agreement with P5+1 will be discussed in due course.

Meanwhile, the topic per the news report presented for reference.

————————————————————————————————

UN Resolution Would End Iran Sanctions in 10 Years

By Associated Press – Published on July 16, 2015. – Thank you.

A draft U.N. resolution to implement the Iran nuclear deal says U.N. sanctions would “snap back” into place if Iran fails to meet its obligations. But it also says that stipulation would end in 10 years.

The draft, obtained Wednesday by The Associated Press, states that none of the seven previous U.N. resolutions on Iran sanctions “shall be applied” after 10 years, and “the Security Council will have concluded its consideration of the Iranian nuclear issue.”

But a U.S. official familiar with the details of the resolution said the five veto-wielding permanent members of the council agreed that a new resolution would be adopted at the end of 10 years to reinstate the snap back mechanism for an additional five years.

The official, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly, said the agreement by ministers from the United States, Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany who negotiated the deal “will be in writing as a statement of intention.”

President Barack Obama has cited the snap-back mechanism as a main defense of the proposed pact in responding to sharp criticism from the U.S. Congress and some American allies. France also has stressed the significance of sanctions coming back into force quickly if Iran breaks it promises.

But Russian officials have given mixed accounts of how the mechanism would work. Moscow has traditionally opposed any voting procedures in which it would lose its Security Council veto power though Obama said Wednesday that “in the agreement, we’ve set it up so we can override Iran’s objection, and we don’t need Russia or China in order for us to get that override.”

“If they continue to object,” Obama said, “we’re in a position to snap back sanctions and declare that Iran’s in violation and is cheating.”

U.S. Ambassador Samantha Power circulated the draft resolution to the Security Council on Wednesday and diplomats said they expect a vote probably early next week.

India – Celebrity Worship And Political Circus

July 9, 2015

By Padmini Arhant

The celebrity worship in India is unprecedented and to a large extent foments megalomania.

Politics and controlled communication media share a deep bond with entertainment sector in the country.

The political parties are constantly vying with each other in bringing people from film and sports industry (cricket in particular) to represent them.

The commonality is the hunger for power, fame and fortune forming the basis for mutual attraction.

Celebrities are held above law in any issue extending into embezzlements from kickbacks and backdoor deals in government venture.

Those involved in accidents resulting in loss of ordinary citizens life from drunken driving and in other scenario contributing to excess speed limit on the less developed highway are protected from appropriate action.

The two incidents – directly related to Bollywood actors had victims and their families blamed for the untimely deaths and deprived of prompt medical assistance.

In this regard politics turning a blind eye to celebrities faith whether from natural birth or apostasy that is otherwise contentious in all affairs proves the political priority to stardom transcending religion, ethnicity and other background.

The latest one with the incumbent party BJP MP (the member of Parliament) supposedly representing the poor constituency of the economically disadvantaged Uttar Pradesh state riding in Mercedes as the official vehicle for personal trip crashed into oncoming automobile causing the death of a four year old child and leaving other passengers seriously injured in the car.

Besides the factors behind the accident, the preferential treatment provided to the celebrity turned political party representative deserves mentioning in humanitarian context.

The passerby, a doctor had taken the celebrity with minor wound in his car ignoring the remaining victims and the Hippocratic oath to rescue anyone especially the most vulnerable of all in need of emergency care.  

The doctor going to film star’s aid  leaving others behind – the four year old girl and five year old boy suffering massive injury is a failure in professional judgment. 

Accordingly the celebrity received top-notch attention in the best medical facility.

Meanwhile the critically injured passengers i.e. non-celebrities in the other car were abandoned to their fate for half hour in the accident scene.

According to the victims personal and eyewitness accounts they had to ride in an auto rickshaw (the three wheeler scooter) to reach the nearby government hospital. The four year old girl (Sonam) succumbed to her wounds on her mother’s lap on the way to the medical center.

The celebrity was fussed over with comprehensive procedures and the family with life threatening injuries became relevant only after the glaring gross negligence brought to public focus by the grieving father.

The mournful family also expressed their disappointment with the Bollywood actor turned MP not reaching out to them despite the fateful experience with the loss of their child.

To make matter worse, the celebrity accused the father for not having followed the traffic rules holding him responsible for the tragedy.

In this instance, the celebrity as the serving political representative could care less about the civil duty to inquire after the family and other members affected in the traumatic event clarifying human life matters only when the entity is a celebrity.

The apathy to mainstream problems is the underlying feature in the deteriorating human character.

I hope for the speedy recovery of the family hurt in the unfortunate collision with strength to bear the painful moment in life.

On the contrary, the ongoing political storm in New Delhi attributed to the present foreign minister intervention to assist the controversial IPL (Indian Premier League – Cricket Sport) founder dubbed the fugitive to travel within Europe for medical purpose concerning the family is asserted as the humanitarian call and lauded amongst the political class.

The IPL chief confronted with allegations and charges refuting through twitter social media dragging the polity into spotlight.

These developments confirm the so-called world’s largest democracy also renowned for the biggest political circus on earth.

Indian political establishment is the epicenter of corruption and criminality notwithstanding treason evident in explosive scandals across political parties alternating term in office.

The political class and bourgeois subservience to appease the unscrupulous external forces is second to none.

The election is a fraud with extensive bribery of electorate using counterfeit notes and black money from various channels near and far including the underworld and nefarious elements subscription to candidacies for vested interests.

Even the pretentious common man party (AAP) staged as anti-corruption faction encouraged Delhi voters to accept money from the other political parties – BJP, NDA and Congress and cast the vote for AAP. 

Cash for votes is not limited to campaign trail and the tradition carried over in Parliament and state assembly to sway opinion on legislation usually favoring domestic and foreign oligarchy and stifle anti-graft law.

Politics using religion is the trend sowing the seeds of discord – the trait inherited from imperial divide and conquer strategy. The irony is the political members lineage to Islam with ancestry not recollected in selective memory.  

The former Prime Minister of India, Indira Gandhi was married to a muslim Feroz (Gandhi) making the descendents part Muslims in origin. 

The political members i.e. the Prime Minister Narinder Modi and the Patriarch of the ruling party L.K.Advani as well as the former chief minister of the state as chief trustees of temples viz. Somnath (God Shiva) temple in Gujarat recently barred entry to non-Hindus viz. Muslims and Christians citing the entrants to seek permission from the temple administration prior to visit.

The reason for the ordinance is apparently in response to Islam mosques and Christian chapels not allowing visitors from different sect.

Such conduct is reflective of using God as political pawn to impose fundamentalism in society.

Any religion restricting access to people of any other faith or non-believers to the place of worship cannot be true followers of the religion and ownership on God as the sole entity of a specific domain is ignorance prohibiting acceptance.

The prevalent religious dogma is contradictory to major religions claim as monotheist i.e. One God as the universal power.

Monotheism would encompass secularism without reservations upon the religion being established with blessings from God – the Supreme divine power behind creations for constructive evolution.

The isolation of religion premised on orthodox belief and largely political gains highlight indoctrination substituting spirituality.

Condescendence and discrimination widely practiced conforming to foreign authorities influence over politics and other sections in society.

Nature is bestowed with facts and knowledge since the dawn of life on earth leading to the existing information age in digital format.

Regardless the aptitude exemplified in positive attitude accompanied with gratitude delineate the genuinely knowledgeable, the authentic from platitude due to magnitude, fortitude and plenitude defying servitude to uplift the spirit of the multitude at any altitude.

Peace to all!

Thank you.

Greece – Fix It Or GREXIT Dilemma

July 7, 2015

By Padmini Arhant

Greece despite unequivocal NO vote against austerity compromised soon after the outcome with the finance minister Yanis Varoufakis resignation on euro zone officials demand stating the minister was unwelcome in the meeting.

The euro zone and EU gesture speaks volume of the respect or the lack thereof to democracy given the promotion of western democracy worldwide.

Furthermore the disposition reflects on the one world government (NWO) i.e. EU in Brussels direct interference in political governance of the member state and dismissal of sovereignty.

EU and euro zone expect Greece to stay in the Union to share the burden on euro volatility alongside stifling competition on trade and tourism favoring the major players Germany using euro and England opting out of euro.

However, there is no incentive provided to Greece in alleviating economic hardship with financial assistance to restore domestic banking system, emergency liquidity and internal cash flow to stimulate economy.

Greece using euro as the national currency is unable to exercise money circulation and distribution along with controlling inflation otherwise Greece has no control over EU and euro zone implemented monetary, fiscal and trade policy.

In fact this situation applies to PIGS states and Eastern European members economy under Brussels mismanagement.

EU and TROIKA austerity imposed on Greece and other recession hit economies exacerbating financial problems in the private and public sector.

In the absence of economic growth with capitalization at affordable borrowing rates, the cash strapped nations are pushed towards adversity with austerity.

The austerity proponents exempt them from fiscal restraints considering expenditure in Brussels run parallel government appoint delegates in various positions leading to unnecessary bureaucracy.

The costs are transferred to the citizens of the member states especially in the lower economic strata like Greece. Hence EU insistence on Greece for additional hikes in Value added taxes (VAT) to perpetuate Brussels extravagant operation only serving oligarchy and vested interests.

TROIKA involvement in Greece deviating from financial activities to choosing governments with frequent elections and forcing the recent referendum cost the state in contradiction to their prescription on austerity.

The plebiscite outcome with a YES vote anticipated by TROIKA was aimed at removal of Syriza led government from power preparing Greece for yet another polls to install TROIKA approved government at exorbitant expense to the people in Greece.

Again there is no recognition amongst TROIKA imposing will that contributes to more spending in the intentionally caused political tensions for instability.

TROIKA striking down proposals from the current Greece government and extending status quo might satisfy egotistical stance and essentially conflate the problems affecting the creditors and debtor.

Euro future is hanging in balance with disproportionate benefits to members within circuit not to mention the superficial value on the commodity conforming to currency maneuver trend.

Greeks with similar desire to stay in euro zone and EU need to review the experience in the past years up until now.

The dependency on TROIKA and EU for necessary breakthrough has not been forthcoming to relieve the ailing economy and instead the woeful measures are regarded the appropriate remedy saturating public and private debt in the country.

Greece political party Syriza concerns about leaving euro zone upon no positive developments in the negotiations between government and TROIKA would have to be transformed into preparedness with alternatives in returning to drachma that facilitates independent strategy on monetary, fiscal and macroeconomic conditions customizing applications to match targeted growth and output.

As for explanation to the electorate on the issue – any discerning citizen would realize impediments no longer obscure in the false sense of security in euro zone and TROIKA cart blanche authority ignoring reality in the harsh austerity.

The political party shift to a position away from the one adopted on campaign trail would be a broken promise when the decision is to serve the purpose other than republic progress.

In this instance Greece cornered without flexibility to restructure financial operations for economic boost besides debt settlement.

The extreme demands necessitate the viable option to reinstate drachma with sound monetary policy and financial as well as economic reform attracting investments in the economy and capital infusion in the banking sector.

The excessive reliance on bailouts from external sources with the pledge to remain under euro zone confined perimeters and TROIKA doctrine as safe haven when results proved to be counterproductive exemplify confidence and trust deficit in self-emergence and competence.

Nations survive and thrive upon sincere commitment to lead and perform exceeding the expectations demonstrated in hard work and integrity as collective responsibility with transparency and accountability to eliminate corruption and contain failures in all endeavors.

The comprehensive financial and economic plan on Greece recovery will be submitted subject to outcome on EU summit and financial discussion between the incumbent Greece administration and the other side.

Greece could FIX IT in the event of GREXIT with pragmatic solutions and disciplined methods blended in inspiration and optimism for economic resurgence.

Greece crisis will be monitored with relevant input until the matter is resolved.

Peace to all!

Thank you.

Greece – TROIKA Diktat Undermine Democracy

July 6, 2015

By Padmini Arhant

Greece was forced into a plebiscite and the people delivered the message with an emphatic NO vote.

Civilized are those who accept victory with humility and acknowledge defeat gracefully in any event.

TROIKA – the lenders direct intervention in Greece or any other nation’s governance is oligarchy exerting authority to stifle democracy.

The referendum rejecting austerity obviously regarded impediment by TROIKA in prolonging the devious debt slavery.

Greece is the initial target for the unscrupulous operatives in TROIKA to eliminate democracy for similar imposition worldwide.

The long conceptualized NWO – the new world order with EU accompanied by euro zone – the second model following the United Nations aimed at stripping nations of their sovereignty.

The moneylenders wells are drying and they want to fill them with Greece and PIGS states citizens tears despite the doomed fate upon TROIKA.

Human folly is presumptuousness and challenging forces when time is against them especially now the cosmic forces presence denying them any such opportunity forever.

I reiterate nothing is meant to exist for eternity in the creation by divine power.

Europe is on the precipice predominantly due to unbridled greed since time immemorial and became prominent through persisting imperialism.

European history is testimony to the fact the rise of feudal system forcing population into slavery to maintain parasitic culture among the self-proclaimed privileged class for their comfort and luxury had to reckon with popular uprising turning into revolution.

The cowardly practice using taxpayers funded police force notwithstanding trained private militia to quell public dissent cannot protect those in ivory tower any more.

I emphasize on the current cosmic time extending into future beyond the obstructionists’ dwarfed existence.

I am not here at the nefarious elements beckon call that I would exit on their insistence to disappear.

As the representative with divine mandate in the preordained divine mission honoring the Supreme power, the Almighty God’s  commandment and blessings, I remain committed in the mission to protect humanity and planet from thievery and incessant destruction.

Time is already proving the triumph (TRIAMF) of divine mission over the suicide mission.

Good Luck! to victims of exploitative scheme by TROIKA in defending liberty and sovereignty – the inalienable and non-negotiable right.

Peace to all!

Thank you.

Greece – Plebiscite No Vote Victory

July 5, 2015

By Padmini Arhant

Hello Everyone!

Today has been a remarkable day for Greece. 

Greece had a plebiscite on austerity.  The people delivered the message with NO vote.

I would like to convey my heartfelt Congratulations to the citizens in Greece and the government headed by Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras, Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis of the political party Syriza along with independent party in coalition representing the people of Greece.

You have truly spoken in the referendum with your NO vote. Your rejection of austerity.

I consider this a victory to Democracy.

Democracy is in action for the fist time in the world standing up against counterproductive policy.

Greece introduced democracy to the world. Once again Greece restored democracy to make people choice relevant.

Citizens in Greece, you have taken a bold decision that required courage and enormous will. You have demonstrated your pledge of allegiance to your country.

Every one of you must be proud of yourself for this incredible action.

The immediate future might be turbulent for you.

You have been through so much in the past 8 years.

You are in a position to weather the storm. This will not be anything as compared with what you have endured up until now.

There is lot of speculation and commentary about what might happen to Greece?

This is directly related to your present and future. All that you need to remember is Greece has been around for a long time well before and during the crisis.

Greece will be able to deal with any problems now on.

You had to go through extremely difficult time. The world witnessed your pain.

Life experience serves as the strength to face any challenges in the long term.

When you reflect on the past you realize that you were able to survive the worst time in your life and now have the resolve not to succumb to any crisis.

The time might appear uncertain with no guaranteed outcome. However, you should not let this become a permanent situation.

Mistakes made in the past are not to be repeated again.

Strong commitment is required to face the upcoming changes and with due diligence, wisdom and perseverance you could transform the economic status from recession to recovery.

You have stood behind the government headed by Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras and the political party Syriza as well as the coalition.

The government will have to move ahead to lead the country in the path of progress.

The first step would be to find financial solutions to the cash strapped economy and emerging out of capital deficiency. Furthermore implementing critical fiscal and monetary policy besides improving macroeconomic conditions and adopting result-oriented strategy are the keys to success.

You will not be alone in this journey.

I will be providing you with a comprehensive guidance and restructuring of the economy for your reference and application.

Unity and collective responsibility would make the task less burdensome.

Greece has taken a new birth with hope that will turn into reality through efficiency and determination to prevail.

Good Luck to citizens in Greece and the government under leadership Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras and others or speedy economic revival.

Peace to all!

Thank you.

GREECE – Plebiscite on TROIKA Austerity

July 4, 2015

By Padmini Arhant

Greece forced into referendum on austerity by IMF, ECB and EU is greed driven strategy.

Greed is a terrible disease and those affected by this illness could contain symptoms with self-restriction. When they are overwhelmed with greed they succumb to fate. Greed consumes them.

Greed is the cause for them to become international predators than creditors.

Even Jesus Christ could not reason with moneylenders and compelled to use violence. Jesus Christ whipped them and condemned their unreasonable conduct.

TROIKA could address this matter through proper engagement with the present government and accommodate reality into equation.

Austerity has been devastating for nations and the people in Greece are simply threatened to submit to TROIKA’s extortion.

TROIKA and forces galvanizing YES vote in the plebiscite do not necessarily win with fraudulent means to show victory.

The YES vote to TROIKA would give legitimacy on debt slavery. The YES voters are in kamikaze operation for they are not only doomed, their careless action would make the remaining citizens to share similar destiny.

TROIKA’s bailout requirements is a direct claim and control over Greece economy and human capital i.e. the citizens to bear debt burden lasting over generations when the survival of the present population is made nearly impossible with their austerity policy.

Austerity on Greece is prosperity for TROIKA. Again not everlasting as anything founded on deceit and exploitation would expedite the source conclusion.

TROIKA is clueless about austerity considering the life of opulence they maintain as entitlement at Greece and other nations expense.

In the Dark Age, human mind is able to relate to pain only through personal experience. That’s why there is apathy to human suffering among those prioritizing personal well-being and pleasure.

The financial institutions behind GREECE meltdown were handsomely rewarded for the reckless and unlawful indulgence as investment bankers trading hedge funds with toxic securities in the global market.

These firms were treated with special attention using United States taxpayer funds in the bailout.

Now United States as the chief controller of IMF together with EU and ECB lack credibility in their demand on GREECE and people of other recession hit economies to oblige.

The people are enduring the sins committed by financial brokers and major players in the windfall adopting unscrupulous practice.

The compare and contrast between Germany and Greece do not reflect the facts and as usual missing in substance.

Greece contribution to the world with philosophers like Aristotle, Socrates, Thales and Epicures to name a few amongst several renowned in this field, astronomers – Aristarchus and Eudoxus, physicists viz. Archimedes, mathematician Pythagoras and political scientists are slighted in the biased comparisons presented as analysis by TROIKA hired communication media.

Germany success as euro zone member and leading state in EU is because of exceptional advantage to Germany over the rest in the 28 members bloc.

Germany – the predominantly export oriented nation specializing in heavy metals and high end manufacturing goods related to automobile, aviation and other transportation industry use euro in leveraging against Greece and counterparts from eastern Europe in trade.

German deutsche mark was not feasible in the export trade especially with Europe in deep recession and vagaries in the global economy.

On the other hand euro facilitates Germany to neutralize volatility via distribution amongst members in EU.

The debt saddled states like Greece, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Ireland (PIGS) and eastern European countries are essentially providing for Germany in the balancing act with investors raking profits in Greek bonds compared with low yielding German security in the lending exchange amongst TROIKA.

The banks capitalization exclusively focused on lending for debt repayment to TROIKA ignores economic development in Greece and PIGS states.

Greece returning to original currency drachma would enable export to developing nations and emerging economies besides tourism generating revenue with global visitors from far and wide.

Germany described as nation not paying high wages as Greece is a misnomer.

In fact Germany social security payments and unemployment benefits are far greater in the industrialized world and adapted by Australia in the hand out to those choosing to remain unemployed leaving the immigrants to drive the economy.

Australian dole checks largely drawn by white majority in the country is the influence of Germany policy.

Germany industrial output is from East Germany more than the west given the hard labor tradition under Soviet rule. Germany productivity also attributed to immigrants in Germany despite reservations towards immigrants in deutsche land.

Greece need to allocate budget to expand broadband access and invest in technology based government services that would cut down bureaucracy and shift the labor force in technology oriented jobs for efficiency and transparency.

Greece could also mobilize the nation towards renewable energy like solar and hydropower minimizing energy dependency and costs in the public and private sector.

Greece anti-corruption measures beginning with government from top to bottom would build trust and seriousness in the treatment of the epidemic.

Further on the economic front – Greece needs to use the natural resources such as marble, clay, nickel, coal, bauxite, ore and chromate notwithstanding lignite, petroleum, iron ore, zinc, lead, magnetite, salt and hydropower potential to the maximum.

Greece could promote local production and business in these areas with incentives to small, medium and large companies inviting subscribers to government projects and spearhead domestic campaign to bring offshore holdings to jumpstart economy.

Agriculture land to grow crops and produces for the country and overseas markets would be another economic boost alleviating poverty and unemployment.

Tourism showcasing the Greek islands and Parthenon’s and other attractions would be lucrative with drachma as the currency rather than euro to stifle competition from neighbors on euro currency that makes travel expensive for foreign tourists visiting Europe.

These are preliminary steps to rebuild Greece economy and improve financial situation.

Greece should recognize that existence in tandem with EU and TROIKA financing would only deplete the treasury. The money borrowed from them on austerity basis proved destructive thus far.

Calling for direct investments and job-oriented programs are the meaningful ways to revive economy.

The resistance from TROIKA in this context exemplifies profiteering from citizens’ economic misery that cannot be extended any longer.

Lending for exacerbating economic woes via austerity is TROIKA doctrine. The scenario is imposed with no flexibility for reconciliation.

TROIKA trend is unsustainable for them and the victims of austerity.

The prevalent austerity to intensify citizens plight best renounced and instead the practical approach to resurrect economy is the viable solution to Greece problem.

Greece is at the crossroads and citizens exercising discernment with NO vote in the referendum paramount to SAVE GREECE from foreign seize of assets along with economic and political freedom.

Nation prevails with people pledging allegiance to sovereignty.

May wisdom and rationale provide guidance in the Greece referendum!

Good Luck! to citizens and the government in Greece in the solidarity against austerity.

Peace to all!

Thank you.

Greece – Economic Crisis And Troika Deal or Extortion?

July 2, 2015

By Padmini Arhant

The ongoing economic crisis in the Mediterranean country Greece originated from the sub prime mortgage debacle in the United States in December 2007.

The hedge fund and international securities traded by investment firms nowadays as equity management companies viz. Goldman Sachs then engaged in Greece is initially responsible for Greece economic recession due to bad decisions and directives including misrepresentation to creditors at that time.

Goldman Sachs along with many financial institutions behind gross mishandling and mismanagement triggering economic bleeding in early 2008 experienced earlier in Iceland and endured until today in Greece, Portugal, Spain, Ireland and Italy viz. PIGS…in Western and Northern Europe were bailed out with no stipulations and granted taxpayers funds exceeding trillion in the United States treating the cash payout to bankers as their privilege.

Subsequently the global economic meltdown with severity in Europe weighted down Greek economy tied with euro zone.

The euro as the national currency in Greece and throughout EU excluding England with over optimism on the common unit has failed to deliver the value pegged to the unstable and superficial commodity.

European Union policy of austerity on Greece strangling the country with demands on economic reforms primarily favoring the international creditors viz. International Monetary Fund (IMF), European Central Bank (ECB) and European Commission (EC) or EU presided financial package essentially behind Greece default.

The troika imposed austerity to streamline spending in the absence of economic growth stimulants in Greece evidently debilitated the cash strapped nation.

The two bailouts to Greece in 2010 and 2012 €240 billion ($272 billion) substantially expended in servicing the debt to international lenders viz. the troika – IMF, ECB and EC as well as the financial institutions with stake in Greece rather than direct investments in the economy promoting employment and business prospects for the citizens across the country.

The massive layoffs, salary cuts and pension reductions in compliance with EU bailout requirement further exacerbated the economic situation.

Following the adverse effects of austerity, the Greek electorate elected the anti-austerity political party – Syriza headed by Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras forming the coalition government with the independent party in Greece.

The ruling party in Greece consistently maintained negotiations with international lenders since election on January 25, 2015 alongside systematic improvement in reform focused on alleviating poverty and adopting strategy to satisfy obligations on the bailout program.

The troika conditions to incumbent government request on the six months extension to bailout deal deserve attention.

Greece approached the international lenders aka Troika to grant from the profits on ECB held Greek bonds to meet the immediate financial needs. The fund €12 billion ($13.4 billion) was scheduled as the offer.

In that amount €1.6 billion ($1.79 billion) payment to the IMF on June 30, 2015 was the priority and now that date has expired. Another €6.7 billion is to be settled with ECB in July and August.

Greece was offered a possible bailout not intended to relieve the economy from deterioration instead to enable Greece to pass that amount €1.6 billion ($1.79 billion) to IMF as loan payment at exorbitant interest rates and prepare for payments to ECB within weeks of receiving the third bailout amount.

Greece essentially used by lenders to profit from lending through money circulation amongst them under the pretext of rescue scheme with Greek citizens forced to bear the lending costs and high interest.

  1. Reducing pension payments that would only affect consumer spending with impact on retail business and ripple effects on the wholesale and manufacturing on domestic products while restricting import from EU and abroad.
  1. Increase Value Added Taxes (VAT) – in the dire economic environment, the average consumers forced to pay more taxes in addition to hikes up until now to payback lenders is an extreme measure contributing to consumer woes and limiting business activity in return.
  1. Military Expenditure cuts – perhaps setting the stage for complete NATO control over the nation.
  1. Privatization of country’s airports – the proposition from EU and lenders is a deviation from relevant options and subscribe to ulterior goals.

In response to international lenders harsh austerity imposition;

Greece Government reforms comprised – efficient tax collection methods, social security system and streamlining government bureaucracy. The additional steps included anti-corruption and promoting business as well as backing privatization in the economic sector.

As a result of Greece government and Troika failure on the agreement, the referendum on July 5 is expected to reject or accept EU, ECB and IMF rigorous austerity.

Despite Greece administration’s numerous concessions and adjustments to accommodate EU and lenders chronic treatment evidently a flawed recommendation,

The lenders declined the roadmap that had 70 percent of Troika trails and 30 percent Greece government shelter to save the economically deprived population from abject poverty.

Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras has called the nation for NO vote on EU austerity in the upcoming referendum.

The last minute overtures from the Greek leadership to EU and creditors has been in vain.

Greece citizens need to understand the entire scenario and act accordingly to relieve them from the persisting economic calamity and potential power vacuum paving way for EU and partners to install the government of their choice like in Ukraine.

The present Greece government is poised to resign upon YES referendum to EU and international creditors ultimatum.

EU and creditors stringent austerity on economically struggling nations has been counterproductive. Yet there is no acknowledgment from them and the hard line approach towards Greece is similar to the neighbor Cyprus account.

Cyprus bailout was tied to closure of the nation’s second largest bank, Laiki Bank and a 47.5 percent cut on deposits over 100,000 euros at the Bank of Cyprus for recapitalization.

The same formula was applied to Iceland problem and led to brink of economic collapse.

Cyprus capital Nicosia was hamstrung like Greece now and Cypriot parliament pushed into first post-bailout budget prior to receiving €83 million as installment payment from Troika in late 2013 and early 2014,

The austerity on Cyprus was identical to instructions to Greece – pensions and salaries were targeted with the outcome being dramatic escalation in poverty and unemployment in the country.

Interestingly Troika projection on Cyprus economic status after EU and euro zone austerity was the gross domestic product contraction to 7.7 percent in 2013.

IMF, ECB and EC/EU prolonged austerity only tightens the noose around citizens to submit to unreasonable unaffordable trend.

IMF and World Bank legacy in transforming developing nations to banana republic as it happened in Argentina, Panama, Chile, Indonesia and Mexico…are few of many countries drawn into the debt dragnet.

The developments against Cyprus and Greece serve as strong reminder for the people to protect their sovereignty.

The international creditors regrettable actions thus far confirm the reputation as predators ignoring the fact that austerity alone without revenue not viable for economic recovery.

Greece is confronted with EU and euro zone pursuit to topple present government for the stance against austerity based on reality.

If the referendum on July 5 anything like the event on Scotland independence with fraudulent means generating the predetermined outcome, Greece future would be bleak.

EU attempt to expel Greece government with Prime Minister Alexis Tspras is tactfully deployed creating circumstances for the government to seek people consent on EU austerity in the background of Syriza party elected to power to spare the citizens from economic plight inflicted via austerity.

In a way EU’s tactical move is to turn people against the government with Troika officials not entertaining Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras modified reforms to satisfy lender’s extraordinary gains from human misery.

Greece would survive the economic and political storm on its shores in returning to original currency – drachma for euro survival is not possible considering the lenders’ and EU irrational economic growth resistant strategy crippling economies to the point of no return.

Greece was the first nation to introduce democracy to the world and when democracy is threatened by forces to unseat the caring government that prioritize people over self-interest, the citizens must rise to the occasion and safeguard liberty that would then guarantee economic progress.

Greece voting NO to austerity on July 5 and retaining their honor by rallying with the current government opposed to EU plan that denies decent wages, pensions and business opportunity for jobs would demonstrate fairness prevailing over darkness.

Troika deal is nothing more than extortion exploiting the critical moment in Greece.

Greece defiance to EU and international banks austerity is the saving grace.

Greece unity to proudly defend the country from overt control under the guise of monetary aid would prevent Greece economy from free fall.

The clarion call to Greece is to back your government under the leadership of Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras and alliance to overcome the external challenge.

The major stumbling block is EU and euro zone membership with inherent complexity such as any submission on economic matter is subject to review, debate and approval by every other member state parliament and political consensus within.

The irony – EU preaching austerity hardly observes the tradition with EU officials and delegations appointments and salaries being an extravagant affair.  Even to hire the EU appointee, the amount spent in the recruitment process is not less than million euro. 

EU insistence on fiscal discipline exempt them from the protocol. 

Good Luck and best wishes to Greece and the government of Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras in the speedy economic revival as an independent nation.

Peace to all!

Thank you.
