Egypt – Rejecting Political Opportunism As Leadership Key To Defend Sovereignty

July 6, 2013

By Padmini Arhant

The clashes between pro Morsi supporters and security forces as well as anti-Morsi groups having claimed many lives need to end enabling the nation to resolve political crisis in a peaceful environment.

Egypt is a mature nation with well-informed and fairly tolerant members in society.

Hence, deadly protests amongst various factions only exacerbate turmoil.

Egypt population use of weapons and likewise security personnel shooting is not helpful and contrarily flaring internal conflict.

There is an urgent requirement to renounce violence on all sides and return to civil engagement otherwise the unrest would only lead to more casualties depriving nation in addressing the current political situation.

Besides, unnecessary confrontation and chaos provides fodder for exploitation by entities within and outside the country affecting the entire nation at large.

Certain members having remained away from the country during former President Hosni Mubarak regime leaving people under tyranny promptly arrived on the scene after their long residency overseas upon seeing glimpses of hope in overthrowing western staunch ally Mubarak administration.

When Egypt revolution in January 2011 appeared promising in achieving Mubarak government ouster, some western favored personalities viz. Dr. Mohammad ElBaradei returned to Egypt posing to be strong opponent of Mubarak rule or recently against deposed President Mohamed Morsi.

Unfortunately, the reality is such figures prioritize their political ambition over national and public interest.

They seemingly aspire to clinch power as President of Egypt with preparedness to compromise national sovereignty, territorial integrity and self-determination rights of the people.

The newly emerged and rather selective group chosen opposition leader with strong western alliance evidently sworn allegiance to Tel Aviv and Washington – the former International Atomic Energy Agency Director General Mohammed ElBaradei behind the scenes political maneuver with eyes set on the mantle of power in the aftermath of national volatility cannot possibly be ignored considering the former UN official submission to satisfy Israel and United States demands in every respect essentially repeat national betrayal reminiscent of Mubarak and Morsi performance.

According to the latest article from American International lawyer Franklin Lamb in Beirut –titled
Obama Backing ElBaradei? published in almanar – Lebanese official news agency deserves Egypt and world attention – Thank you.

The previous IAEA Chief Mohammad ElBaradei hired Patton Boggs, the K Street, NW Washington DC law firm.

“Patton Boggs, the K Street, NW Washington DC law firm, which last year had 550 lawyers and 120 lobbyists and is arguably the firm closest to the White House and most likely to secure for its clients what they want from the approximately 5000 key decision makers in the US Capitol.

The other nearly 11,800 federally registered lobbyists in Washington (there were only 300 as recently as when Lyndon Johnson was US President) lag far behind Patton Boggs in terms of political influence.

Patton Boggs new client wants the Pentagon and the White House to squeeze Egypt’s Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF) who deposed President Morsi and arrange for himself to be appointed the interim President of Egypt pending early elections.

What ElBaradei’s representatives are reportedly offering the White House in exchange for Obama’s discrete assistance, is that –

The 1979 Camp David Accord, including all its elements, will be observed.

In addition, Egypt under ElBaradei can be expected to toughen its stance on Iran’s nuclear program 
including publicly adjusting some of his pre-2012 comments on Iran that the White House and Israel criticized as being “soft on the Islamic Republic.”

Also being promised by ElBaradei’s agents is that security cooperation between Egypt and Israel will grow stronger. ElBaradei’s objective is to secure Barack Obama’s personal support during his jockeying for the expected forthcoming Egyptian presidential election.

Meanwhile, as of today, it appears that President Barack Obama may well help usher Mohammad ElBaradei into Egypt’s Presidential Palace.

If the Obama administration has success there will be joy in Tel Aviv, and at Patton Boggs’ victory party, where a good number of the invited guests will almost certainly be carefully vetted by AIPAC.”

These revelations and other scenario being Saudi backed al-Nour Salafist party as the second largest Islamist group replacing the recent Muslim Brotherhood led by former President Mohammed Morsi are the compelling reasons for Egyptian solidarity to thwart foreign and regional intervention aimed at indefinitely prolonging the status quo.

Regrettably those yearning for power do not seem to care for human suffering whether they are citizens in Egypt, Palestine or for that matter across the Middle East.

The concept of forming al-Nour Salafist party post Mubarak era in 2011 is interesting.

Hegemony with regional ally Saudi regime manufactured al-Nour political party set up to confuse Egypt electorate in 2011.

The recommendation on this website to consider Egypt then opposition leader Ayman Abd El Aziz Nour for representation in 2011 election subsequent to Mubarak power collapse misused by Saudi introduction of al-Nour faction in 2011 to mislead voters in the national electoral process allowing Salafists fundamentalism to gain second highest votes in 2011 amid violent military crackdown at that time.

Egypt citizens are urged to focus on domestic representative and real opposition leader Ayman Abd El Aziz Nour profile.

The formidable opponent Ayman Abd El Aziz Nour to former dictatorship President Hosni Mubarak was imprisoned for political dissidence from 2005 to 2009 and hospitalized for sustaining injury during peaceful protest in January 28, 2011.

The leader Ayman Abd El Aziz Nour committed to human rights, secularism and constitutional reform limiting Presidential powers including opening Presidential elections to multiple candidates.

People in Egypt would enormously benefit from choosing resident leader like Ayman Nour having exemplified loyalty to people through self-sacrifice and continue to pledge support for Egypt liberation.

Moreover there is distinctive commonality between leader Ayman Nour and Egyptian main street in several dimensions having been persecuted under Mubarak regime and participated in January 2011 political struggle could possibly relate to mainstream grievances on personal accounts.

Any other preferences for political leadership like ex-IAEA Chief Mohammed El Baradei with excess western exposure and regional power intimacy may not retain power based on personal guarantee to U.S. and Israel agenda resulting in destabilization within a short period in semblance with Muslim Brotherhood departure.

Whereas electing young vibrant leaderships such as Ayman Nour – national university law graduate with verifiable service to people would set precedence for future political aspirants considering significant youths likely to obtain higher education from within the country due to individual circumstances, financial factor and unique identity.

Egypt is at the crossroads having to rise to the occasion once again to choose real patriots and sincere leaderships from local to national level rejecting candidacies of political opportunism willing to surrender national independence to imperial power or fundamental ideology.

Wishing citizens in Egypt tranquility and smooth political transition in accordance with republic will.

Peace to Egypt!

Peace to all!

Thank you.

Bolivia – President Evo Morales Flight Denied Airspace Access in Europe at Washington Behest

July 5, 2013

By Padmini Arhant

President Evo Morales returning from Moscow summit on natural gas producers early this week was strangely and unfairly stranded in Vienna, Austria.

According to the reports, the Bolivian President homeward flight from Moscow via Europe was denied airspace access by France, Spain, Portugal and Italy at Washington’s behest.

As a result of these European states violation of aviation regulations and international law,

The Bolivian President flight was commissioned to force landing in Vienna, Austria endangering the President and other members lives which obviously has not been taken into consideration by those behind the reckless and irresponsible action.

Apparently Washington suspected the NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden on board with Bolivian President Morales and instructed the European allies to intervene with entry refusal to their airspace.

Upon emergency landing in Vienna, Austria, the Austrian authorities with President Morales permission had conducted search for Mr. Snowden and confirmed the whistleblower’s non-existence on the flight.

Once again, Washington has proved NSA’s ineffectiveness and redundancy on national and global surveillance that could not verify the whereabouts of the most wanted whistleblower in town.

The spying indulgence is evidently counterproductive wasting United States taxpayer dollars on delusions in urgent requirement to be abandoned diverting focus on myriad domestic problems that demands political attention.

Meanwhile, the head of the sovereign state President Evo Morales was unnecessarily delayed and inconvenienced for twelve hours or more due to Washington’s egregious decision to disrupt the Bolivian President journey based on rumors and misconceptions that led to placing foreign national leadership as well as other delegates safety and security in grave danger.

Washington intrusion and European partners non-compliance in this context is reprehensible and reflects discriminatory policy along with disrespect for leaders and nations regarded as adversary.

The event reversal would have promptly attracted condemnation from allies and those subservient to imperialists irrespective of the latter declining status in all aspects especially in international protocol and humanitarian affairs.

Again with no apology from Washington on the ill-advised interference in foreign dignitary itinerary, the world in entirety is yet to denounce the offenders presumptuous exertion of authority.

All nations command equal importance and relevance despite imperial powers conspicuous isolation and indifference towards them.

Bolivia as a free nation is entitled to share the sky that does not belong to any specific power regardless of self-proclaimed status.

With deep regrets and dismay for the Bolivian President Evo Morales and other travellers’ unpleasant experience from the flight detour,

Wishing Bolivian citizens and President Evo Morales success in all endeavors benefitting peaceful Bolivia.

Peace to all!

Thank you.

Egypt – Solidarity And Peaceful Resolution of Crises is in National Interest

July 3, 2013

By Padmini Arhant

The rapid escalation of events in the last few hours reveal that Egypt army has removed President Mohamed Morsi from power and dissolved the constitution declaring the head of Supreme Constitutional Court Adli Mansour as the caretaker leader.

President Mohamed Morsi was western choice with Saudi approval and diligently carried out orders from them.

The deposed President’s self-detrimental course evidently led to status quo conforming to the fact that allies of hegemony are in precarious conditions with imminent displacement upon redundancy.

Further, the army roadmap calling for snap Parliamentary election reportedly acceptable to the al-Nour party – the second largest Islamist group and Salafist political party which means Saudi influence will be intact perpetuating Egypt citizenry pain and misery.

Yet another opposition leader more familiar in the international arena – the western powers selected former IAEA Chief Mohamed ElBaradei apparently concurred with army stance stating the proposals “meets the people demand for early Presidential elections.”

These developments ought to be considered with prudence in terms of military intervention and pledge to hold early elections to avert duplicity reminiscent of 2011 subsequent to Mubarak administration termination.

Nonetheless, transparency every step of the way by authorities and public referendum on national reconciliation committee allowing secular factions adequate preparation to compete in the national election is paramount in resolving political crises.

Hegemony and regional maneuvers behind the scenes reverting to 2011 scenario in Egypt and Libya would severely backfire at the sources and best abandoned honoring self-determination rights and national sovereignty.

Egypt solidarity vehemently opposing United States, Israel, Saudi Arabia and other allies involvement either directly or through proxies is critical to deter reactivation of Mubarak era or ex-President Morsi performance.

Similarly the nation steadfastness in rejecting hegemony agenda in semblance with post Mubarak period in 2011 and 2012 by Supreme Council for Armed Forces (SCAF) is poignant.

United States Pentagon chief, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel in direct contact with Supreme Council for Armed Forces Chief General Abdel Fattah al-Sisi reflect repeat events following U.S. and Israel partner President Hosni Mubarak ouster in 2011.

Egypt population discernment in identifying western, Saudi and pro-hegemony infiltration is extremely important exercising caution in preventing exploitation of turmoil like in 2011.

The people aspiring Egypt liberation from foreign control and authority with political and military apparatus receiving instructions from donor i.e. United States on Israel’s behalf are required to come together to defend national independence consistently undermined by hegemony seeking permanent dominance over nations spreading across the region and ultimately extending to the rest of the world.

Non-Violence and peaceful means with national unity advancing the cause for complete political freedom devoid of imperialism, militarism and fundamentalism viz. Salafis, Wahhabis evolved into dangerous Takfiris attributed to Saudi Arabia, Qatar and similar regional states is the viable strategy to achieve common goals in the immediate and long term.

Not surprisingly, hegemony efforts to revive Mubarak rule earlier through military and soon after with installation of Muslim Brotherhood government led by President Mohamed Morsi persisted in various disguises and operations that deserves national attention and collective action to end foreign interference.

As usual the hegemony rumor typically defending staunch ally former dictatorship of President Hosni Mubarak by falsely claiming that western support was halted to the previous regime upon refusal to allow U.S. military bases across the country essentially projecting their representative as a patriot is gross under estimation of human intelligence and memory considering United States and Israel tried every trick in their playbook to thwart Mubarak overthrow until the last minute in 2011.

Furthermore, the western ally former ruler President Hosni Mubarak having emerged from military establishment preference to be rewarded with $1.2 billion later increased to $1.3 billion by Obama administration for United States to run Egypt military and political affairs dictating Israel’s policy on domestic and foreign matter is the worst betrayal from any leadership to their people and country.

Foreign military presence in sovereign nation is undoubtedly conspicuous occupation of homeland prompting resistance like in Afghanistan.

However, corrupting national defense forces, intelligence agencies and political leaderships with bribery in the form of U.S. taxpayer funded military aid prominently to Egypt and Pakistan although discreetly elsewhere creates a wedge between military and civilian power leaving the nation under constant threat of coup d’état experienced by these two nations in particular among several others cannot be ignored in the hegemony desire to prolong subjugation.

Besides the monetary incentives to military rather than direct investments in the economy to benefit citizens promotes treason within military and political domain not to mention the revelations fomenting sectarianism to hegemony advantage.

The predecessor Mubarak trial unreasonably extended evading justice and accountability at hegemony behest is also contentious issue for the frustrated victims in the politically embattled state.

Lately, President Mohamed Morsi contracted Presidential term is related to subservience and loyalty to hegemony surrendering republic will that contributed to massive unrest and the expected outcome.

Egypt society vigilance alongside peaceful engagement to restore political stability is crucial from this very moment.

Best Wishes to Egypt populism and pluralism in leading the nation towards fairness and equality in all aspects.

Peace, Progress and Prosperity to Egypt!

Peace to all!

Thank you.

Egypt – Republic Will Recognition Critical For National Peace And Stability

July 2, 2013

By Padmini Arhant

The ongoing unrest in Egypt has claimed many lives since the appointment of U.S. and Israel backed Muslim Brotherhood government led by President Mohamed Morsi.

President Morsi under U.S. President Barack Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu influence executed decrees and orders in direct violation of the constitution and human rights reflecting sponsors’ performance in the respective national domain.

United States and Israel continuous intervention in the North African nation to rein control over Sinai Peninsula is maintained with U.S. taxpayer funded $1.3 billion military aid and political maneuvering in hegemony favor.

The arrangement legitimizes oppression not only in Egypt but also in Gaza due to Rafah crossing shut down exacerbating Gazans ordeal over and above Israeli illegal blockade from 2007 up until now.

Egypt Tahrir Square revolution ousting U.S. and Israel’s ally former President Hosni Mubarak yet to experience sentencing for decades of atrocities against people in Egypt were imposed further repression through U.S. and Israel choices of power.

Initially they entrusted rule to United States run Egypt army formerly headed by General Mohammed Hussein Tantawi that were engaged in violent crackdown reminiscent of Mubarak era and,

Subsequently appointed fundamentalist faction via Muslim Brotherhood under the guise of democratic election held during the most volatile situation in the country again fomented by the U.S. and Israel proxy forces in Egyptian soil.

The trio viz. United States, Israel and Saudi regimes are responsible for Egypt citizens’ political, economic, social and humanitarian problems.

President Mohamed Morsi designed to operate similarly to counterpart Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Turkey by United States and Israel for hegemony agenda in the Middle East to be replicated around the world in their delusions for global dominance.

Egypt having suffered immensely from U.S. and allies destabilization objectives shares experience with nations in synonymous dilemma.

Egypt citizens rejecting United States ownership of their security and political rights with $1.3 billion annual donation to safeguard U.S. ally Israel is the preliminary step towards true liberation.

Secondly, Egypt electorate declining imperial powers agents, representatives and affiliates essentially planted as alternative options to prolong status quo is important and could be achieved exercising discernment in review of such entities contributions or the lack thereof in the expulsion of pro-hegemony earlier dictatorship in January 2011.

Moreover those associated with hegemony either remotely or closely follow instructions on domestic and foreign policy ignoring public will.

Reiterating the fact that Muslim Brotherhood abstinence or waiting on the sidelines when mainstream protested in Tahrir Square in January 2011and then suddenly being promoted to power is indicative of them having been held in reserve by external sources to retain authority over Egypt.

The other poignant factor is subjugation via financial offers from IMF and Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) enabling western and Saudi demands not necessarily related to much required economic relief and instead misleading nation into deals benefitting oligarchy transferring debt burden on to people over generations in accordance with these monetary institutions strategy world over.

Egypt has far too many challenges in various fronts and has to overcome with unified action committed towards common interest as national goals.

Political freedom is the priority and made possible with restoring constitution defending the rights of all not just the majority including fair political representation of minority, natives and marginalized demography in society.

Secularism with liberty accommodating religious beliefs and cultural values of all segments would generate better understanding and appreciation for pluralism enhancing harmony.

Creating pervasive economic opportunity depriving none would address inequality and guarantee social justice.

The equitable income distribution from steady job growth would also reduce crimes and facilitate widespread progress.

As for the current stalemate confronting the country, President Mohamed Morsi resignation from office would be a viable solution to burgeoning political uprising allowing the formation of national reconciliation committee to prepare the nation for constitutional reform and national election.

Meanwhile, the appointment of caretaker government representing entire nation barring Egypt military and foreign or regional intrusions is the way forward to administer the state with referendum on political reform conforming to republic governance best suited to resolve the crises.

Egypt adopting rational approach to national and international affairs would provide satisfactory results notwithstanding reopening Rafah crossing for Palestinians mobility and transfer of goods and services to Gazans in beleaguered coastal enclave could help with credibility.

National convergence renouncing violence is imperative alongside adherence to civility paving the path for dialogue and political discourse pertinent to demonstrate maturity and unity.

Egypt needs to reemerge with resilience thwarting foreign and regional interference aimed at undermining sovereignty indefinitely besides denying self-determination rights in deciding country’s present and future.

Wishing citizens in Egypt across the spectrum success in realizing the government of the people, by the people and for the people.

Peace and Stability to Egypt!

Peace to all!

Thank you.

Brazil – Peaceful Resolution Key to National Stability and Security

June 24, 2013

By Padmini Arhant

The largest South American nation Brazil currently experiencing anti-government demonstrations across the country that initially began with dispute over bus fare hikes presumably reversed following people protests in this regard.

Now the anti-authority rally continues with further demands ranging from political reforms revoking the bill granting more immunity from legal proceedings against lawmakers involved in corruption scandals to addressing national issues like high taxes, inflation, jobs, health, education and better public services all around.

Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff promises to improve conditions in the recent televised national speech could be implemented immediately by changing course in legislation on anti-corruption bill including Transparency and Accountability Act barring exemptions in crime investigation.

Simultaneously the government setting up three years plan for investments in various social programs with a firm commitment to alleviate citizens plight could be an urgent priority.

The economic review to rectify disproportionate taxations, inflation and strategy to boost local production in manufacturing and service industry is imperative to stimulate growth.

The oil revenues divested in job creation, national health care, free education for the poor and marginalized demography emulating Venezuelan model would mitigate burgeoning problems that are not unique to Brazil but in fact shared amongst citizens worldwide.

Meanwhile, Brazilian population initiating direct talks with government through representatives committed to national interest is critical to avert foreign sources exploitation of situation given the eagerness to debilitate nations especially with oil reserves for en masse subjugation.

Hegemony infiltration instigating unrest cannot be ruled out considering prominent legacy prevalent to access foreign resources by causing internal turmoil.

Brazilian dissent with restraints refraining from violence, vandalism and looting is important to protect public and private property.

Any damages in this context would mean the people are the ones to bear repair and restoration costs as consumers and taxpayers in society defeating the purpose behind the call to fix rising taxes and prices in the country.

Brazil being a modern and civilized nation cannot afford to deviate from proper engagement and that could be meaningful negotiations and dialogue with the state and federal authority.

Peaceful assembly to express grievances is the national right of all citizens world over.

However, demonstrators utilizing opportunity to resolve crises with authority willing to redress citizens concerns in all affairs would be prudent and effective in producing desirable outcome.

Unlike Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan leadership authorized violent crackdown and refusal to accept responsibility for numerous mistakes that has led to foreign occupation under the pretext of Patriot missiles installation.

Besides enduring terror attacks in Reyhanli and southwestern Hatay province emanating from state sponsored terrorism against neighbor Syria.

Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff assurance to deal with citizens matter perhaps deserves national attention offering the political power the benefit of doubt in delivering the guarantee.

As for the spending on World Cup in 2014 and Olympics Games in 2016 – the bulk investments are usually made by FIFA and IOC along with corporate sponsors respectively with government expenditure upon efficient management in hosting international activities could be recovered in profits from diverse avenues viz. global telecast, commercials, local and overseas visitors participation as spectators, merchandise vendors and,

Not to mention the prime occasion promoting tourism as well as exports to potential buyers within and outside the region.

Brazilian government modernization efforts during these sports ventures might be aimed at tourist attractions and other economic prospects along side elevating national image in the ability to organize major events.

Nonetheless, these modifications could be carried out without compromising indigenous heritage and local residents livelihoods demonstrating care and respect for nationals regardless of socio economic and ethnic background.

Furthermore, government housing or financing with independent oversight to replace slums in urban dwelling in Rio de Janeiro or capital Brasilia, Sao Paulo, Belo Horizonte and across the country would be a way forward to achieve goals benefitting people and national economy.

In contrast, the western leaderships in the United States, Britain, France and Germany squander tax income in terror operations targeting innocent lives in Syria and supplying weapons to dictatorships in Bahrain, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Egypt, UAE, Kuwait and wherever possible to prolong oppression and persecution.

Notwithstanding the western leaders abuse of power reflected in egregious decisions and gross neglect of domestic economy hurting their citizens denying them life with dignity.

Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff and political establishment at different hierarchy interaction with citizens encouraging civil discourse avoiding excess force or aggressive practices to disperse crowds is essential to restore calm and stability.

The agents of chaos and destruction in their desire for global dominance seek troubles deploying overt or covert methods to gain entry for harmful intentions witnessed thus far.

Hence, Brazilian unity and government sincerity in the formation of national reconciliation committee with collective input using smart innovative ideas for self-sufficiency and fair distribution of equity from oil and several endowments is the viable solution to short and long term challenges confronting the nation.

Brazilian military and intelligence vigilance thwarting any threats to territorial integrity is crucial for national and regional security.

The destabilization of nations and regions is the contemporary trend and pose dilemma for nations earmarked in the imperialist agenda.

Regional cooperation and coordination strengthening bilateral and multilateral ties in trade and specifically national defense is paramount.

Brazilian government and republic adherence to non-violence with rational approach for a new beginning would be beneficial to all preventing foreign opportunists from taking undue advantage of the stalemate that could adversely affect the nation at large.

Best Wishes to citizens, President Dilma Rousseff and leaderships representing political, military, economic and social spectrum in exercising self-determination rights to introduce policies that are favorable to the entire nation upholding constitution, democratic values and individual freedom.

Safeguarding Brazil sovereignty is national responsibility and preservation would exemplify patriotism.

Wishing Brazil success in all frontiers as an emerging economy and reliable partner in global peace.

Peace to all!

Thank you.

Iran – Presidential Election 2013

June 21, 2013

By Padmini Arhant

Congratulations! To President-elect Hassan Rohani for recent victory in the 11th Presidential election and citizens of Iran contributing to peaceful electoral process.

Islamic Republic of Iran since Islamic Revolution in 1979 has been confronted with western imposed economic constraints and Israel’s hardline stratagem prevalent until today.

The people of this nation unfairly targeted similar to Iraq, Syria, North Korea and Cuba or any other country falling prey to western prejudicial sanctions with no valid reasons except for political determination to isolate states regarded as adversary.

Iranian citizens have demonstrated tremendous patience and resilience growing leaps and bounds despite United States and EU imposed economic, financial and media ban to stall growth.

Iran has various challenges in the economic front predominantly due to western authorized restrictions barring other nations from oil imports using regular trade channels and payments processing methods constricting flow of goods and services in the bilateral and multilateral level affecting regional and global economy.

The discriminatory and imprudent policy hurt energy dependent EU and U.S. economies in the course of debilitating Iran accused of involvement in non-civilian nuclear program which has been proved otherwise in the numerous investigations conducted by western agencies like IAEA and UN inspection.

Contrarily, those accusing Iran in this regard viz. Israel, United States and EU do not qualify to make allegations against the Islamic nation considering western powers alarming nuclear status and legacy in the use of WMD and nuclear arsenal.

Notwithstanding western fascination for unprovoked relentless wars in the Middle East and around the world continue to consume innocent lives and harm environment endangering planet in ecological balance.

United States and Israel covert nuclear activities as non-members of Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and non-signatory to IAEA in the absence of any verifications and audit on nuclear warheads in possession including stockpiles held among NATO allies on their behalf combined with standard practice derailing nuclear disarmament talks pose imminent threat to humanity.

The false pretexts used by United States, Israel and EU to extend embargo ignoring grave humanitarian conditions in prohibiting life saving drugs and medical supplies into Iran has resulted in deaths of minors with children, pregnant mothers or anyone suffering from rare diseases denied access to these essential treatments not to mention the reckless actions depriving health care industry and affiliates from huge revenue potential that could benefit dire western economy.

Multiple EU sessions with Iran on nuclear issues and United States prolonging arbitrary sanctions to appease Israel is hypocritical and constitutes war crimes given the economic warfare waged by western alliance in utter disregard for international and humanitarian rule of law.

On the domestic political aspects – Iran’s governance premised on Islamic establishment and Islamic Revolution Leader Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei of Supreme National Council oversight conforms to strong principles that are important in inspiring and energizing national spirit with emphasis on unity constantly threatened by external forces infiltration.

However, Iran’s democracy adapting to flexible system offering choices delineating statehood from religion would promote individual freedom to both majority and minority groups in society.

Secularism sharing humanitarian values with mutual respect for all would lead to better understanding and harmony.

Religions are avenues to explore simple to philosophical facts pertaining to life purpose. In addition, many seek solace and guidance in dealing with crises that are often resolved through spiritualism imparted wisdom and virtuosity.

Unfortunately, religion is instead used as an instrument in politics for ideological aspirations.

For instance, Zionism espousing greed and violence spares no religion in pursuit of global dominance.

Iran’s civilization in enriched with customs and traditions long cherished in the Persian land.

Progressiveness retaining cultural heritage while accommodating ideas for pervasive progress would sustain positive trend.

Pragmatism is best suited to blend ancient knowledge with modern concepts in appreciation for changing dynamics as part of the evolution again without compromising national identity.

Iran’s capability and dexterity for reforms revealed with the choice of reformist leader Dr. Hassan Rohani as the winner in the impressive voter turnout at 72.7 per cent in the latest election.

The incumbent administration under President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad exemplified in protecting national interests against foreign predator instincts with courage and perseverance.

President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad leadership would be recognized for transforming obstacles into opportunity making the nation self-sufficient and productive in defiance of foreign incursion in the Persian Gulf besides United States and EU illegal claims to justify unjustifiable economic penalties against Iran.

Iran has prevailed in trials and tribulations in the past and on the path to more accomplishments in the present and future.

Islamic Revolution led by late leader Ayatollah Khomeini evidently laid foundation for national defense from foreign invasion and current leadership Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei emulation of predecessor stimulates patriotism and confidence in nation building.

Wishing Islamic Republic of Iran citizens, the leader Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, the outgoing President Mahmud Ahmadinejad and the President-elect Hassan Rohani ever lasting peace and success in all endeavors favoring mankind.

Peace to all!

Thank you.

Syria – U.S. And Allies War Crimes and Genocide Warrants Indictments Barring Exemptions

June 15, 2013

By Padmini Arhant

United States armed and financed Jabhat al-Nusra committed yet another massacre of children and women mostly Shia belonging to Hatla village in Deir Ezzor on June 12, 2013.

Meanwhile western partner Salafi Sheikh Shafi-al-Ajami from Kuwait funded terrorists plundered villages and towns in addition to desecrating holy sites and demolition of infrastructure.

Sponsoring terrorism by arming and financing to slaughter innocent children, women, elderly and the rest across the nation is choosing to be a terrorist via proxy.

The western leaderships especially the United States espousing Zionist and Takfiri self-destructive doctrine already resulting in economic and political decline with the office of United States Presidency misused for egotistical desires ignore ill-fated consequences in continuing war crimes and genocide in Syria.

Reiterating the fact that decimation of Syria means promoting regional catastrophe with Israel being the first one to plunge in self-inflicted disaster accompanied by Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Turkey, Jordan, UAE, Kuwait, Egypt, Tunisia… and eventually affecting the entire world with nuclear arsenals in possession of those unrelenting to peace.

The office of U.S. Presidency deviation from democratic system to unilateralism discarding public opinion on warfare when almost 62 – 66% of American citizens oppose any interference in Syria is abuse of power revealing the executive and legislative branch surrender of sovereignty to criminality.

The political establishment hired surrogates, spokespersons, authors and doctored you tube videos attributing executive decisions in escalating violence and killings of civilian population in Syria to arms industry and Israeli lobbyists while absolving the Presidency and legislators from any responsibility is admission of American electorate casting ballots not for candidacy projected as the so-called leadership or representatives of the people but instead the dark forces reining control over United States politics and economy.

Accordingly, the elected officials in the highest office on land and Congress are committing treason through misrepresentation and defiance to citizens dissent on wars with unwavering loyalty to those misleading the nation and global society to abyss.

Such complicity whether due to lack of political will, courage and integrity to stand up to undemocratic elements or alternatively sharing common values with those allegedly prodding elected members to squander American taxpayer dollars for illegal warfare and terrorists activities proves massive collusion against national interest.

President Barack Obama declaration to directly arm foreign terrorists via CIA is acknowledgment of United States engagement long before and throughout Syrian conflict given the United States intelligence agency involvement in mobilizing ammunitions to U.S. recruited mercenaries and cannibals in Syria.

The nefarious dealings transporting lethal weapons since Syrian crises onset and President Barack Obama seeking no fly zone targeting Syrian population with Britain and France having callously used chemical weapons on them and ascribing blame on the popular government of Syria in this regard is repeat of weapons of mass deception tactic used against Iraq.

Unlike United States and western powers cooperation in terror attacks on respective soil against their citizens,

Syrian leaderships and national army relentlessly defending national territory and citizenry from United States led widespread terrorism and massacre.

United States, Israel, Britain, France, Germany with EU lifting arms embargo along with coalition of the willing are responsible for Syrian holocaust up until now.

Notwithstanding the war crimes and summary executions of unarmed civilians warrants indictments of every one of them barring exemption from privileged status.

According to UNHCR latest report – the death toll in Syria thus far is 93,000 with approximately 6,700 are minors and among them nearly 1800 reportedly children under the age of ten died in the ongoing annihilation not to mention the growing refugee situation exacerbating suffering for all and 6.8 million citizens in particular stranded within and outside the country.

United States cavalier approach coordinated with Britain, France and EU unscrupulous strategies to serve Israel’s delusions is worthy of condemnation and merit international intervention to prohibit further onslaught on Syria bringing the western powers and partners to justice for heinous crimes against humanity.

United States outrageous disposition to use Turkey and Jordan for weapons delivery to terror networks in Syria is an assertion of supremacy rejecting Turkish and Jordanian citizens protest to western infiltration undermining national independence of those nations in the region.

Hence Turkish and Jordanian society must rise to the occasion and restrict arms flow into their country by western or disguised supplier i.e. rerouted from Eastern Europe like Croatia with Turkey having suffered terror attacks in Reyhanli and southwestern Hatay province along Syrian border.

Middle East solidarity regardless of religious, social, political and sectarian belief is critical to thwart hegemony goals prolonging illegal invasion and occupation for strategic and economic gains at the expense of vast majority.

The global participation specifically the western civil society bear the burden to terminate Syrian bloodshed for these atrocities are carried out in their name with taxpayer funds ostensibly wasted in denying children, women and men in Syria the right to existence and simultaneously depriving U.S. families survival in the dire economy.

The hegemony depopulation agenda encompassed in geopolitical dominance is sought with war machinery plus economic sanctions in Syria and elsewhere concurrently subjecting western citizens to severe austerity leaving the people on either sides victims of violence and monumental fraud.

In conclusion, United States and western indulgence perpetuating abhorrent crimes in Syria is suicidal mission expediting imminent collapse of imperialism and plutocracy.

Wishing Syrian citizens, national defense force and leaderships extraordinary triumph over trials and tribulations endured by them.

May God bless Syria with fortitude and virtues to prevail in expunging evil and terror.

Peace to all!

Thank you.

Palestine – Rebirth of Arab Nation Restoring 1948 Sovereignty

June 8, 2013

By Padmini Arhant

The illegal establishment of Israel on Palestinian land in 1948 is the fundamental reason behind Palestinian misery and humanity suffering worldwide.

Since creation of Israel through deception implementing Balfour declaration, terrorism was introduced then and continued by the same entities denying innocent citizens peaceful existence in their country or anywhere for that matter.

Middle East peace talks for over six decades subverted facilitating Israel complete occupation of meager land left for native Palestinians following Israeli aggression in 1967 that legitimize neo-colonialism in the absence of standard practices against Israel such as indictments for war crimes and continuous oppression, persecution of Palestinians and Syrians in the occupied Golan Heights by Israel.

Palestinian plight for generations with mere condemnations on Israeli crimes and atrocities is lip service allowing Israel to perpetuate tyranny due to lack of accountability.

The formation of UN as an international organization but essentially serving the key powers vested interests leaving the rest of the world at their mercy interestingly coincides with invasion of Palestinian land almost in a manner pre-arranged to set up Israel among Arab nations in the Middle East.

In the twenty first century similar plan under Project for New American Century (PNAC) launched with terror attack on American soil to sway public opinion on pre-meditated warfare against Islamic nations aimed at strategic and economic gains while using NATO members like Turkey to invade neighbor Syria.

The primary goal promoting Israel’s aspirations for regional usurpation and spreading beyond pursued at all costs using American treasure and victim nations blood in a cold and calculated predisposition with consequences never being part of the equation in the delusion.

Palestinians enduring horrendous crimes under Israeli authoritarianism with western powers complicity thus far expected to accept status quo as their destiny.

Israel’s dehumanization of Palestinians and Syrians in Golan Heights is the norm forbidding rationality to intervene in the systemic abuse of power.

The gross human rights violations on international watch stigmatize human race for tolerance to flagrant injustice in the modern age.

On the occasion of Global March to al-Quds, the rebirth of Palestine restoring 1948 sovereignty is a viable solution to more than sixty years old distortion that claimed Arab land with no justification.

In response to predictable reaction – the objection to the invocation has no merit considering unlawful settlements in West Bank and al-Quds,

Gaza blockade, demolition of homes and livelihoods restricting Gaza fishing community from fishing in tiny portion of international waters.

Crushing olive and almond trees prohibiting Palestinian farmers from growing crops and produce to build settlers colony.

Contamination of wells and limiting water supply to Palestinian residents in West Bank, al-Quds and Gaza causing health hazards amid economic sanctions cutting off medical provisions and life saving drugs from arrival into Palestinian territory.

Poisonous gas delivery to Gaza hospitals resulting in death of at least four Palestinian patients in the Israeli controlled coastal enclave.

The indefinite detention of Palestinian youth as young as eleven years old children in Israeli gulag extending the concept to United States run GITMO, Britain and Australian concentration camps in Afghanistan…and.

Last but not the least daily killings including terrorizing of children, women and elderly by raiding and ransacking their homes is regarded as prerogative flaunting supremacy on the weak and vulnerable population.

As for the settlers and occupiers on Palestinian land, repatriation to Europe would be conducive – England and Germany in particular bear responsibility given the former role as an imperialist adopting divide and conquer strategy until today for fragmentation of sovereign states and destruction of societies relevant to Palestinian calamity.

Israel emulating the latter viz. Germany in neo-Nazi rule from inception to this moment with no inclination to change course evident in the intensified brutality against Palestinians and neighbors in the region.

Furthermore, Britain and allies expressing deep concern for nuclear-armed Israel’s security could perhaps afford better care by receiving colonizers from Palestinian land to retlocate to Europe – their original domain.

The transmigration would not only be constructive in terms of Israeli resettlement in Britain, Germany and other parts of Europe but also eliminate hostility and volatility in the Middle East.

Palestinians as natives are entitled to reclaim sovereignty and restore life with dignity seized from them in the western intrusion and systematic polarization of civilizations around the world.

Most importantly, upon revival of independent Palestinian state denuclearization and demilitarization of Middle East would bring instantaneous peace and serenity to the zone stifled in Israel’s overwhelming military and discreet nuclear policy.

The issues related to Palestinians refugees right of return to their homeland and diverse arguments raised by Israel would be Palestinian internal affairs and resolved accordingly to benefit unified Palestinian cause.

Likewise, Syrian Golan Heights liberation from Israeli and UN peacekeeping beleaguerment with repossession of territory by Syria conforms to natural process.

All are born to be free and none are exempt from judgment based on deeds that defines the real direction during and after life.

Palestine rebirth adapting to 1948 territory is the effective recognition and acknowledgment of Palestinian republic pledged to peace, freedom and equality.

Wishing Palestinian and Syrian citizens enormous success with renewed hope turning into reality for a new beginning devoid of subjugation, violence and dominance.

Peace to Palestine and Syria!

Peace to all!

Thank you.

Colombia – Bogota And Caracas Ties Valuable For South America

June 6, 2013

By Padmini Arhant

The foreign intrusion in Venezuela escalated post election declaring President Nicolas Maduro decisive winner.

President Nicolas Maduro has been challenged ever since by hegemony favored contender Governor Henrique Capriles Radonski in the effort to destabilize Venezuela.

Governor Henrique Capriles Radonski protest in this regard also led to civilian casualties with at least seven or more deaths and many injured in the unnecessary disturbance brought upon the nation.

There appears to be United States backed vigorous campaign against popular government of President Nicolas Maduro to create chaos and confusion in Venezuela.

Although such intervention is hardly surprising considering United States foreign policy aimed at political instability worldwide.

Meanwhile, the peace talks in Havana, Cuba between the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) and Colombian government with Venezuela and Chile participation is critical to solidify the agreement on economic and social development in rural areas bringing the decades old confrontation to an end.

FARC and Colombian government commitment towards this deal is important to save lives and move the nation forward for pervasive progress leaving none behind in national achievements.

The latest report on Colombian government soldiers killing four FARC members in clashes in Colombia’s southern province of Putumayo is regrettable and these incidents needlessly harm the current peace initiatives desperately required in leading the country away from perpetual turmoil and unrest.

Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos meeting Venezuelan opposition leader Henrique Capriles Radonski in Bogota following talks with United States Vice President Joe Biden clarifies the unwanted tension in Bogota and Caracas relation prompting Venezuela to withdraw the envoy involved in Colombian peace negotiations with FARC in Cuba.

Governor Henrique Capriles Radonski tour of Latin America to promote hegemony goals rejecting legitimate government of President Nicolas Maduro categorically defines the opposition leader’s agenda to work against national interest.

Such activities are best abandoned for they serve none and evidently counterproductive.

Instead the opposition leader shifting focus on positive contributions enabling the incumbent administration under President Nicolas Maduro to address relevant national issues like economy, citizens safety and social advancement would prove genuine concern for the people of Venezuela over personal political ambition.

On the other hand, Colombia ties with Venezuela especially the present government pledged to late President Hugo Chavez Bolivarian Revolution is significant for Americas to protect national sovereignty, political and economic independence from foreign interference.

Upon safeguarding national freedom, social justice is possible in general recognition of population as mainstream barring isolation or segregation behind disparity in society.

Colombian citizens demand for removal of all U.S, military bases – seven in total along with ban on arms supply to drug cartels – situations shared with Afghanistan and Mexico respectively is the preliminary step towards national liberty.

Furthermore, Colombian public resistance to NATO membership is essential to prevent subjugation and western dominance as experienced by Turkey.

Colombia transcending from drug haven identity to dependable partner in regional peace, security and economic growth would be beneficial to Andean nation and Latin America.

Colombian government extending peace to factions representing marginalized and disenfranchised segments across the nation would guarantee multilateral gains maintaining balance of power providing economic opportunity to all.

Colombia and FARC implementing recent accord into action would set precedence in crises resolution renouncing violence that consume lives and resources affecting the nation at large.

Simultaneously Colombian government headed by President Juan Manuel Santos strengthening cooperation in all aspects with Venezuelan counterpart President Nicolas Maduro would be prudent not to mention Latin American solidarity confirming formidability against external threats and provocation.

Wishing citizens in Colombia and entire Latin America a new beginning with promising future and tranquility.

Peace to all!

Thank you.
