Turkey – AKP and Prime Minister Erdogan Resignation Key to Political Stability

June 2, 2013

By Padmini Arhant

Turkey is overwhelmed with political uprising against Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan and ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) in the past few days attracting international attention.

Turkish citizens initial peaceful protest to government demolition plan on Gezi Park used for assembly and rallies other than being a tourist attraction in Istanbul has turned violent due to police crackdown with tear gas, water cannons and extreme tactics against unarmed participants in the traditional Taksim Square synonymous to Egypt’s Tahrir Square.

The trail began with AKP leaderships Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Foreign Minister Ahmet Davoutoglu prominently waging proxy war hiring terrorists in Syria causing 80,000 or more in death toll and several million refugees scattered within and across their homeland.

Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan and AKP unilateral decision allowing U.S. and NATO troops on Turkish soil using Patriot Missile installation as pretext similar to U.S. armed forces deployment in Jordan as responsive measure to Syrian refugee situation essentially serve United States illegal invasion and occupation of foreign land.

Such action in defiance of respective public and political opposition qualifies as treason.

Prime Minister Erdogan and Foreign Minister Davoutoglu direct involvement in United States and other western leaders sponsored terrorism against Syria backfired through two bomb blasts on May 11, 2013 in Reyhanli – the border town near Syria in Turkish southern province of Hatay reportedly killing 52 residents and many injured in the violence.

Sadly innocent citizens fell victim to government imported crime by sheltering terrorists in the country.

Subsequently on May 31, 2013 Turkish security forces reported to have seized two kilograms of nerve agent sarin gas and heavy artillery from al-Qaeda affiliate al-Nusra front terrorists home in Turkey’s southern city Adana about 150 kilometers or 93 miles from Syria.

The culmination of these events along with latest controversial government project to replace national park has obviously led to citizens demand for Prime Minister Erdogan and government resignation.

People frustration and disappointment against incumbent leadership and AKP party is legitimate considering rapid deterioration of secular, socially progressive and economically vibrant Turkey diminished as chief facilitator of terror for United States and western powers targeting neighbor Syria in the nearly three year old terrorism with blowback on Turkey.

AKP leadership’s erroneous decisions viz. terror activities in Syria and invitation for foreign incursion in Turkey disregarding constitution as well as lack of political consensus on these critical issues concerning national security reflected in mainstream call for government to step down.

Turkey also confronted with rise of Muslim Brotherhood political wing enabled by Prime Minister Erdogan joining western powers coalition of the willing aimed at fundamentalist system prolonging oppression of population across Middle East.

For instance, Qatar and Saudi influence otherwise Takfiri infiltration in Islamic countries is to stifle true democratic functions and deprive republic status.

The clash between people and ruling power evident in the authorities disconnect with main street problems due to preoccupation in decimation of Syria and bombings in Iraq.

Again excessive force witnessed recently and Prime Minister Erdogan statement referring to protestors as extremists while providing full support to al-Qaeda and associate al-Nusra front terrorists in Syrian conflict clarifies paradoxical disposition endangering lives experienced in bomb blasts in Turkey.

Republic is the real power and honoring their will is the elected officials duty and responsibility.

Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan and AKP having lost credibility and public trust leaving office immediately would be honorable and politically viable saving the nation from unnecessary turmoil and bloodshed.

Upon political transformation, Turkey withdrawal from NATO is paramount in reclaiming sovereignty.

Accordingly removal of foreign presence in the form of military, espionage services, USAID, NGO’s in disguise and media false propaganda undermining national independence would be comprehensive in liberation cause.

Wishing citizens in Turkey republic governance and people choice leadership making progress in leaps and bounds in all frontiers.

Peace to Turkey

Peace to all

Thank you.

Syria – Western Hypocrisy Defending Nuclear Israel Security Ad Nauseam

June 1, 2013

By Padmini Arhant

Western hypocrisy surface again this time on the issue of Russian delivery of S-300 air defense system to Syria per contractual agreement in 2007 posing relevant questions on unnecessary western intrusion at Israel’s behest in Syrian sovereign matter.

The Russian S-300 missiles for defensive purpose only ordered and paid long before western illegal invasion of Syria is a late consignment and had this arrived earlier on then perhaps innocent Syrian lives could have been saved from U.S. authorized three Israeli air strikes targeting Jamraya scientific research center near Damascus in January and repeated twice in April this year.

Israel and United States organized and armed terrorists on the ground through regional allies has produced more than 80,000 in death toll and millions of refugees in and outside Syria.

The western tactics in this warfare ranging from terrorizing Syrian children, women and men to use of WMD against them accompanied by Israeli bombardment is expected to be tolerated with hegemony loyalists proposals to continue violence in the embattled state.

Western foreign ministers as the so-called top diplomats committed to flaming the fire rather than diplomacy lifted arms embargo at recent EU meeting authorizing overt arms influx to al-Qaeda and affiliate al-Nusra front terrorists while crying foul on Syria’s inalienable right to self-defense in the onslaught from terrorists representing 29 different countries and air raid by belligerent Israel.

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle statements at the press conference that Russian S-300 missiles shipment to Syria could restrain forthcoming peace talks in Geneva and place Israel at risk is extemporaneous defending perpetual offender Israel ad nauseam.

Israel purportedly received fifth Dolphin-class submarine with nuclear capability from Germany.

Apparently the first two were freely donated and the remaining three were substantially discounted by Germany at obviously European taxpayers expense while German Chancellor Angela Merkel austerity on euro zone members crippling economy and driving respective population to suicide.

Berlin also slated to dispatch additional nuclear submarine to Israel – the only nuclear state in the Middle East and an established entity in non-compliance of any international law that exists especially Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and never subjected to IAEA or UN mandated inspection despite an estimated 500 nuclear warheads in Israel’s possession.

Israel persistently derails nuclear disarmament summit with United States support and the two nations along with other western and gulf allies are responsible for genocide and worst crimes against humanity making life impossible for victims world over.

Furthermore, United States charity to Israel exponentially risen lately from $2.4 billion to $3.1 billion annual aid with current administration pledge to continue the trend beyond 2017.

United States military assistance over and above monetary alms to Israel expected to continue with personal guarantee from incumbent President Barack Obama to expedite authorization of separate $600 million for Israel’s Iron Dome maintenance.

Meanwhile, severe cuts in life line services like education, Medicare and Medicaid and Social Security – the last hope of survival for American retirees among many programs are to be marginalized or axed exacerbating people suffering in the United States for Israel’s security.

Western foreign policy centered on Israel’s regional and now global dominance is a dangerous precedence with ramifications experienced by oppressed Palestinian population and people across the region.

Poignantly not even sparing the benefactor U.S. taxpayers and armed forces fallen prey to USS liberty attack in 1967 and 9/11 terror on American soil for Israel’s ideological pursuits.

United States and Germany warning to Russia demanding withdrawal of S-300 missiles shipment to Syria emphasizing Israel’s security and balance of power in the Middle East being affected due to Syria’s sovereign duty to protect nationals and territorial integrity from Israeli and western aggression is an insult to human intelligence.

Not to mention western subservience to Israel’s unreasonable and preposterous conditions diligently put forth regardless of these propositions lacking in merit.

As for Russian stance in this deal or similar arrangement with Iran retreated quoting U.S. pressure reveals insignificance of nuclear status and veto power at UNSC in terms of independent decision-making on bilateral or multilateral trade considering western maneuvering and prodding of Russia to suit own strategy.

National identity is retained upon resistance to foreign intervention endangering lives, security, political stability and economic interest.

Besides, allowing foreign interference with imminent threat to national sovereignty could impact Russia upon Syria collapse extending across the region and world.

Prolonging Syrian conflict in anticipation of western and coalition of the willing delusions is an inevitable disaster for the sources behind three years old crises.

Israel, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Turkey, Jordan and UAE indulgence in Syria is self-defeating already unfolding in Turkey inevitably spreading to every terror sponsor domain within and outside Middle East sooner than later.

Western powers sincerity and honesty as reliable peace seekers is yet to be demonstrated for international community to respect their word.

The scheduled Geneva 2 convention is an opportunity to profess peaceful resolution and more importantly exemplify in action beginning with complete arms embargo and withdrawal of terror networks from Syria for the war torn nation’s healing and recovery process.

Recognition of Syrian independence and self-determination rights facilitating peace and viable political solutions by Syrian people is the honorable course for international body attending the upcoming event on Syria.

In conclusion exercising sovereign right to defend borders and homeland from predator instincts could no longer be reserved for selective groups who happened to be perpetrators flaunting supremacy status with no accountability.

Syria, Iran or any other nations around the world are at liberty to defend national cause as much as those powers denying these nations legitimacy and natural right to governance.

World peace and security is a collective responsibility and accordingly disturbance anywhere could spread everywhere.

Procrastination or failure to end Syrian warfare is evidently costly in economic and humanitarian standpoint not barring global catastrophe on the horizon.

Wishing Syria fruitful outcome in all endeavors.

Peace to Syria!

Peace to all!

Thank you.

Libya – New Beginning with Green Jamahiriya Republic Empowerment

May 25, 2013

By Padmini Arhant

Libya fell prey to United States and NATO false pretext in 2011 misusing UNSC approval on humanitarian mission.

Project for New American Century (PNAC) agenda implemented with United States led NATO invasion alongside massive collusion from Western and Zionist controlled international media in disguise against Libya.

NATO carpet bombing followed by assassination of Colonel Muammar Gaddafi in public square was reminiscent of Iraq decimation claiming to spread western style democracy.

Since then Libya has been transformed into terror haven and lawlessness is the law of the land facilitating western and regional allies like Qatar and Saudi Arabia in particular for arms delivery to and from the state against whoever the next target might be as witnessed in Syria and Mali.

United States and allies interference in North African nation Libya has not been without consequences seen in September 11, 2012 attack on United States Consulate in the eastern city Benghazi killing American ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other embassy staff with business as usual terrorism continued in Syria and Mali.

The reason behind relentless western military aggression and proxy wars hiring terrorists is the lack of accountability on war crimes against humanity thus far.

The U.S. academic Noam Chomsky calling for indictments of former President George W. Bush and President Barack Obama along with Britain Prime Minister Tony Blair for war crimes in Iraq and drone strikes is possible only upon formation of International Justice Court with global population elected Justices to world judiciary unlike the International Criminal Court selective prosecution and trial to satisfy those behind the organization that is set up to shield their flagrant human rights violation.

International Criminal Court in Hague is yet to prove the system as international in characteristics and more importantly in action transcending prejudice in arbitrary convictions of entities cherry picked by unscrupulous syndicate.

Not to mention ICC situated in Netherlands with European royals like the Dutch, British, Swedish and Spanish role in dictating foreign policy via Trilateral commission pose credibility factor in the institution ambit.

Similarly, in the domestic front with Justice department directly under executive branch i.e. White House administration, there is steep escalation in extra judicial executions and abuse of power by those in the highest office on land. These crimes are committed with impunity and their position taken for granted as privilege instead of humble public service.

Unless citizens initiated permanent body assuming the role as independent inquiry commission comprising politically non-affiliated members with ability to prosecute political establishment during term is the effective deterrence to corruption and state sponsored terror.

Libya is in perpetual turmoil with western created mayhem including the government appointed by them for their exclusive gains at the Libyan population expense.

Cleansing Libya Strategy:

1. Solidarity – The citizens across the nation must come together regardless of social, economic and political denomination in recognition of one another as Libyan and pledge to revive people assembly or Jamahiriya without any possibility for foreign intrusion through internal or external operation.

2. Non-Violence – Renouncing violence with surrender of weapons and collection from those roaming Libyan streets with dangerous ammunitions in possession. The national defense authority should be engaged in the retrieval process with incentives for voluntary submission through opportunities in nation building.

3. Reconciliation – Libyan citizens rejecting polarization often induced by opportunists within or outside to fragment society is critical to move forward. The reconciliation among various groups in the urban, rural and tribal sects could happen only upon mutual respect and patriotic commitment to reclaim sovereignty.

4. Pragmatism – Considering complexity in Libya’s societal functions, the tribal areas in the Saharan region and mainland maintaining Jamahiriya i.e. people assembly for communal discussions and collective action according to each tribe determination would be appropriate allowing continuity in tradition.

However, autonomy with oversight from central government in Libyan capital Tripoli is prudent for expanding necessities in terms of security, emergency relief and protracted social programs for consolidated output.

Berber Identity being native to North African Sahara – retaining positive cultural traits and preservation of egalitarianism would be suitable for national harmony.

Political governance in the rest of the country consisting of rural and urban citizens adapting to republic governed democracy with public participation in constitutional reform and electing local to national leaderships of popular choice based on proportional electoral law enabling representation of both minority and majority is imperative to overcome economic and social inequality.

The national army defending territorial rights of the entire nation is paramount for safety and formidability.

5. Development – Introducing constitutional mandate on national wealth investments in economy, education, health, housing, infrastructure and environment with constant review and update on pervasive development would address corruption and divestments in the form of wasteful spending.

Restoration of national heritage and historic sites desecrated and destroyed as a result of western and coalition of the willing manufactured crises in Libya is necessary in the reconstruction project.

Humanitarian Issue – release of prisoners detained without charges and due process is the preliminary step towards society healing and recovery from hostility.

Furthermore, ceasing racial atrocities against African workers and others in similar situation would exemplify civility. Libyans from all walks of life deserve to be treated with equal rights barring discrimination.

Law and Justice epitomizing fairness and righteousness with rules applicable to all across the spectrum regardless of stature will define national integrity.

Abandoning Sharia law for uniformity would promote inclusivity and practicality.

Again disinheriting inhumane practices, gender bias and disparity would serve as an exemplary model in human civilization.

Demonstrating care and compassion is the basic human quality and simultaneously honesty combined with courage against injustice and forces threatening national independence reveals fine character.

Libyan citizens have experienced tremendous suffering in the past two years and could no longer prolong the status quo.

The people in Libya should be responsible in safeguarding national freedom and not be left with foreign power agents installed on their behalf as government or representative generating conflict of interest.

Peaceful struggle with unity would prevail in denying foreign infiltration as decision makers especially with revelations on their ulterior motives and sheer betrayal inflicting devastation under the guise of liberation.

Libyan citizens unanimous demand for ouster of foreign militias and mercenaries imported into the country by regional regimes at hegemony behest are the immediate priority in the pursuit of life with dignity, true liberty and happiness.

Libya is for Libyan natives with Berber origin and diverse demography that should repossess their land from foreign occupation unjustly and deceitfully seized from them purely to control natural endowments in the state.

The key to reverse the trend lies with people in Libya through peaceful efforts en masse in regaining power to reestablish Green Jamahiriya in the political course for direct governance by the people.

Modern concepts using advanced techniques in industries and educational sectors would expedite growth.

Adopting green technology and innovative methods shared across the country not excluding arid areas of the desert would improve living conditions amid attention paid to natives inhabitancy in the protection of environment.

Ancient values like religious faith, family and friendly relations with respect for elders in the tribal settings and villages would enrich modern existence adapting to conveniences in the proper mix of lifestyle.

Libya has great potential to emerge from the present carnage brought upon them through deception and declining these elements presence on Libyan soil is the foundation for strong and robust free nation.

Libyan versatility to accommodate tribal, rural and urban ideas in search of common goal strengthening national progress stretching from centuries old wisdom and richness to contemporary flexibility would deliver synthesized source for equanimity.

There are great many challenges ahead for Libya and none indomitable.

The secret to success against negativities overpowering national sanctity is unified resolve espousing peaceful doctrine to melt down molten magma laden with greed and violence.

Poignantly the recipe is not favorable in depriving innocent citizens their self-determination rights and national disintegration scheme aimed at geopolitical dominance.

Such ambitions regardless of alliance would be counterproductive and lead to a colossal failure.

Libya can rise to glory with resilience and perseverance harnessing skills and talent reaching new heights in all frontiers.

Wishing citizens of Libya, the proud Berber land everlasting peace and prosperity celebrated with honor and splendor on the horizon.

Peace to Libya!

Peace to all!

Thank you.

Lebanon – Tripoli Unity And Peace Paramount For National Security

May 23, 2013

BY Padmini Arhant

The ongoing clashes in the neighborhoods of second largest city Tripoli in Lebanon has reportedly resulted in 14 deaths including 2 army soldiers during efforts to disperse the fighting groups and many injured in the altercation.

Neighborhoods Bab al-Tabbaneh and Jabal Mohsen perpetual feud over Syria is senseless and serve none as revealed in the unnecessary death toll and destruction.

Any disagreements could always be exchanged in a civil manner through dialogue rather than adopting violent means to convey the message.

Bab al-Tabbaneh residents supporting western and gulf allies deployed terrorists against legitimate Syrian government perhaps are not well informed on ground reality involving atrocities committed by western and coalition sponsored terror networks against their fellow Muslims, Christians and other citizens in Syria.

With Tripoli close to Syrian border, the people living nearby towns and villages must be aware of heinous crimes by western and coalition sponsored terrorists roaming the streets in Syria and arbitrarily carrying out summary executions and massacre.

These terrorists could never represent any civilized population not only in Syria but also worldwide.

Unfortunately, there are always some elements in the community igniting sparks between two or more groups for personal benefits and satisfaction while consciously ignoring their irresponsible conduct flaring up chaos and casualty that could otherwise be avoided displaying maturity in dealing with social or political contentious issue.

Simultaneously, Jabal Mohsen stance favoring Syrian government could explore options to articulate Syrian crises to their neighbors in Bab al-Tabbaneh and others by inviting them to community reconciliation meeting for better understanding of events unfolding in Syria across the border.

Regardless of different stances maintained in the pro and anti-Syrian government political debate,

The citizens in Tripoli and across Lebanon must realize the proxy war in Syria is for regional dominance allowing Israel to establish as neo colonial power that is obviously not in Lebanon or regional interest in any stretch of imagination with Israel’s persistent violation of Lebanon air space and other activities already undermining Lebanese sovereignty in addition to threatening peace.

Notwithstanding Palestinian misery under Israel invasion and occupation over six decades or for that matter the declining status in the United States, Canada, Britain and France…prominently due to Israel’s direct control over political system and mass media.

As for western allies viz. the gulf states Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Turkey, Jordan and UAE marginalized in their role as western stooges in implementing agenda against an Arab state Syria.

Ironically the gulf states participation in the illegal invasion of Syria and unwillingness to terminate conflict is essentially expediting their turn as imminent targets in the neocolonial quest with Turkey having been deceptively subjugated through Patriot missiles installation and others like Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar, Jordan and Kuwait..in the form of permanent military base in their country.

The globalists and imperialists represented hegemony espousing Zionist ideology premised on greed and violence is endangering lives and liberty all around with an urgent requirement for deterrence to this effect.

Lebanon or any nation subjected to indefinite violence and confrontation from within or outside influence affects the region and eventually the entire world.

Hence Lebanon maintaining neutrality on Syria with tight border patrol restricting weapons and terrorists flow into Syria is the effective strategy to prevent spill over exacerbating local and humanitarian problem.

As such Lebanon has to focus on cabinet formation and arrive at pragmatic solutions on electoral law besides addressing economic and social issues prior to forthcoming national election.

Lebanon security is key to political stability in the country and no particular faction can possibly gain from instigating unrest in society.

Residents in Bab all-Tabbeneh and Jabal l Mohsen in Tripoli are urged to reconcile differences and end violence for peaceful co-existence.

Wishing residents in Tripoli and all over Lebanon tranquility and tolerance permeating across Middle East.

Peace to Lebanon!

Peace to all!

Thank you.

Syria – U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee Vote Support Terrorism And Cannibalism

May 22, 2013

By Padmini Arhant

United States Senate Foreign Relations Committee headed by democrat Senator Robert Menendez introduced the bill authorizing U.S. to directly support terror networks with lethal weapons – essentially endorsement of terrorism and cannibalism in Syria.

United States being the chief architect along with allies Israel, Britain, France and Germany have sponsored terrorists and implemented their agenda through gulf allies Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, UAE and Jordan to commit heinous crimes against defenseless and unarmed Syrian people.

The democrats and republican members reportedly approved $250 million to fund transition of the popular government of President Bashar al-Assad with a 15 –3 vote.

United States Foreign Relations Committee especially the Chairman democratic Senator Robert Menendez activities had led to recall action in 2010 citing U.S. Constitution tenth and seventeenth amendment granting the people of several states the inherent power –

“The Power of the People to Elect a United States Senator Includes the Power to Recall that Senator before the End of the Six-Year Term for which He Was Elected.”

In Senator Menendez case being the representative from the State of New Jersey, Article 1, Paragraph 2 of the 1844 New Jersey Constitution affirms, “[a]ll political power is inherent in the people.”

Further New Jersey recall provision enacted by 1993 amendment emphasized –

“The recall provision was a deliberate exercise of the people’s inherent powers to constitute their government according to their — not their government officials’ — view of the public good.”

The national and state constitutions categorically define the purpose behind electing representatives to public office for sole representation of the people electing them to power unlike prevalent practice that has pledged allegiance to sources undermining national sovereignty and seized republic power.

Interestingly, U.S. Senate bipartisanship displayed on all issues concerning the foreign nation Israel whether $3 billion annual aid over and above millions in arms delivery or conducting warfare on this foreign entity’s behalf i.e. spending trillions in Iraq alone followed by billions in Libya and now Syria.

Meanwhile domestic problems ranging from fixing the economy to gun control, education, health, immigration and environment indefinitely postponed due to famous gridlock leaving millions of American workers jobless, children in poverty, families on food stamps, shutting down schools, skyrocketing health care costs, veterans discarded after they lose their limbs and vital organs in incessant warfare and neglected infrastructure clearly indicative of political leaderships misplaced priority.

United States Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Senator Robert Menendez introduction of this bill to provide deadly weapons to terrorists despite them being responsible for loss of 80,000 innocent lives, at least 1.5 million refuges scattered across the borders in hostile conditions and several millions displaced within the nation due to U.S. sponsored terrorism explains the so-called lawmaker complicity in being the primary lawbreaker.

Evidently, all those Senators favoring annihilation and decimation of a sovereign nation with yes vote consciously committed to unconscionable act in their constituents and country’s name i.e. treason having no respect for life or civilian plight.

Another revelation in this extraordinary Senatorial prerogative in defiance of constitution, ethics and legality is abuse of power for destructive goals using American taxpayer dollars denying right to life to population in the United States and Syria with former forced into starvation considering a staggering 47 million American families are on food stamps while the latter slaughtered mercilessly by United States Senate Foreign Relations committee erroneous decision.

Senator Robert Menendez and colleagues recklessness and callousness to perpetuate terrorism in Syria is deplorable for no nation regardless of self-proclaimed supremacy has authority or carte blanche executive power to wage proxy war against sovereign nation unleashing terror on children, women and men not barring cannibalism in the extreme aspect of United States and allies manufactured crises.

Proceeding with presumptuous illegal intervention rather than ending the conflict in Syria to save lives allowing citizens of that country to heal and recover from the unspeakable crimes against them justify impeachment and recall of members in the United States Senate Foreign Relations committee elected to serve in national and humanity interest not otherwise.

Notwithstanding natural phenomenon response – the unequivocal force to reckon with in the event to prolong genocide in Syria.

United States and Britain ultimatums to Syrian people demanding ouster of their leader and President Basher al-Assad for western delusions appropriately suitable in respective domains given the political establishment loyalty to hegemony slighting Americans and Britons declining economic status.

Furthermore, United States and Britain expecting citizens of independent Syria to acknowledge bizarre overture in the prelude to international peace conference confirms the western leaderships respect or the lack thereof for global peace and security.

Abandoning counterproductive measures and adopting peaceful strategy by honoring Syrian sovereignty and self-determination rights is the only alternative to avert imminent disaster affecting the origin in epic proportion.

Wishing Syrian citizens, President Basher al-Assad along with leaderships in government, national defense force and across society successful termination of violence and terror in their native land.

Peace to Syria!

Peace to all!

Thank you.

Turkey – Western Ploy To Diminish National Status and Sovereignty

May 21, 2013

By Padmini Arhant

The Mediterranean country with imperial past as the Ottoman Empire was promptly terminated from advancing then by British Raj having never ceased imperialistic quest until today.

Likewise in the twenty first century Turkey on the rise as the developed, tolerant and moderate nation intercepted again by the west reversing the trend and made the leading terror facilitator against neighbor Syria with whom Turkey had maintained normal bilateral relations prior to western destructive invasion and occupation of nations across Middle East.

Turkey steady development in all aspects qualifying to serve as a model to Islamic nations and others for secular democracy, social acceptance and economic opportunity capsized like the boat in the sea upon turbulence disguised as western coalition of the willing incentivized with sinking EU membership.

In 2010, Israeli commandos attacked Turkey Flotilla Mavi Marmara on international waters killing at least 9 or 10 Turkish aid workers and injured many on board despite the passenger liner early notice to Israel regarding humanitarian supplies to Palestinians in Israeli blockaded Gaza.

The incident is yet to be heard in the court even after global condemnation on Israel’s brazen operation producing casualties and emergency relief items seizure.

Contrarily any other nations were to be involved in the crime especially the ones listed as western adversaries, UNSC would have imposed embargo and ICC sentence not less than life imprisonment.

As such, UNSC continues to intensify sanctions on western foes regardless of lack of evidence against them.

Unfortunately, the western powers discriminatory practice and flair for arbitrary sanctions have created millions of enemies considering these harsh measures are directed at the people of these nations and unwillingness to correct the unfair economic and financial restrictions backfire at the U.S and Europe economy in denying their businesses access to these huge markets that could otherwise be mutually beneficial.

As a result corporations move overseas to location that offers trade expansion.

Obviously sanctions not only hurt target nations leading to genocide witnessed in Iraq and North Korea but also impact United States and EU in depriving their work force jobs besides contracting exports to potential buyers abroad.

Turkish leadership not having pursued legal course against Israel’s aggression on Flotilla siege including Turkish citizens deaths created a perception of weakness about Turkey in western mindset with United States President Barack Obama forbidding Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan from making anti-Israel references on Flotilla in the Turkish leader’s UN address in 2010.

Even though diplomatic ties were severed between Ankara and Tel Aviv at that time, the western dominance over Turkish government was conspicuous throughout and surfaced in the proxy war against Syria.

In 2001, United States and NATO referred to Pakistan as an ally in the fictitious war on terror used as premise for invasion and occupation of Afghanistan.

A decade later in 2011, adopting the same approach Turkey was selected as NATO ally in the illegal invasion of Syria.

The common factor in the strategy is Islamic nations were chosen in the western mission against another Muslim or Arab country to foment sectarianism conforming to imperialist polarization concept.

Turkey Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Foreign Minister Ahmet Davoutoglu spearheaded anti-Syria campaign on Israel, United States and EU behalf to the extreme in opening the borders to western sponsored terrorists by arming and training them to commit atrocities against innocent Syrian population.

Turkey ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) led by Prime Minister Erdogan and Foreign Minister Davoutoglu appeasement of western powers exceeded in every respect rejecting Turkish public dissent on intrusion in Syria.

Turkish opposition Republican People’s Party joined the nation in condemning the incumbent comprehensive assistance to terror networks that contributed to more than 80,000 in death toll and at least 1.5 million refugees fleeing Syria and millions displaced in the country.

The western and gulf regimes reckless policy towards Syrian people with Turkish leadership relentless pursuits to destroy a sovereign nation across the border carelessly disregarding inevitable ramifications or blowback is beyond reason and comprehension.

Meanwhile, the desperate aggressors seeking desperate means have experimented many tactics ranging from WMD, illegal air strikes, bombings, massacres and unspeakable crimes against Syrian citizens, national defense personnel, government officials and the entire nation.

Additionally the United States and EU stranglehold on suffering Syrian children, women and men with severe economic and financial sanctions denying them medicines and essential items constitutes the worst crimes against humanity.

The terror sponsors never wasted any time in exacerbating Syrian plight with widespread violence.

Western installation of Patriot missiles near Syrian border with foreign troops in Turkey under the pretext of system monitoring and maintenance is deceptive and the deployment enabled easy entry into Turkey without having to wage war.

Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan and Foreign Minister Davoutoglu extraordinary courtesy and subservience to hegemony made foreign militarization possible.

The western presence in Turkey is comparable to Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria and Mali experience with violence instigating local or exported terror groups to cause destruction.

Turkey was hit with two car bomb explosions in southern town of Reyhanli that killed 50 residents and another 46 reportedly died in Hatay province on May 11, 2013 with several wounded as always expected in violent incidents.

Again AKP leaderships collusion with western powers spreading terrorism to destabilize neighboring states Iraq and Syria is a major distraction neglecting national governance and sadly ordinary citizens are paying the price for their government folly and betrayal.

Western interference in Turkey is not limited to using the nation against Syria.

Turkey is also earmarked for Takfiri or Wahhabi/Salafist radicalization via Muslim Brotherhood strongly liaised with Saudi regime prevalent in Egypt right now.

The fact that AKP is maneuverable to western ploy in their multidimensional sabotage of Middle East for imperialist goals and Israel’s aspirations is attention worthy.

Iraq having been ruined along with Libya and Syria by the west is also in hegemony focus for fragmentation.

The Republican members in United States congress reminisce their counterpart democrat Senator Joe Biden (the current VP) recommendation to split Iraq into Shia, Sunni and Kurdistan for western control and management.

Accordingly, Kurdistan workers party (PKK) having been marginalized with no political representation or economic and social equality sought autonomy as most often is the case in every part of the world where certain demography and indigenous groups are secluded from mainstream while benefitting from their input to economic growth are invariably treated as a liability.

PKK long battle with Turkish authority resulting in massive bloodshed of 65,000 lives and the founder Abdullah Ocalan imprisoned in an island off Turkey was offered a solution evidently a crisis for Iraq as intended by the west.

In the western engineered plan, PKK supporters and Kurds are being relocated from Turkey to the autonomous region yet part of central Iraq – Kurdistan set up for hegemony depletion of oil reserves in the territory and nothing to do with liberation of persecuted Kurds under western ally Iraq former President Saddam Hussein or Turkey.

Much to Iraq’s legitimate protest on the western authorized Kurdish exodus from Turkey to northeastern Iraq i.e. Kurdistan, the untoward consequences in this respect is apparently not the masterminds concern.

PKK struggle began in Turkey and accordingly should be resolved in that domain rather than transferring the problem over to adjacent Iraq already bogged down with western, Israel and Saudi orchestrated mayhem in that country.

Juxtaposed the immigration debate in the United States is prolonged with no agreement on legitimizing undocumented workers status not to mention various suggestions stretching individual imagination to curb the influx of Mexican citizens characterized as illegal entities dominate congressional discussion discounting the fundamentals such as United States Fast and Furious program promoting arms flurry across the border to drug cartels responsible for transmigration to the source.

The western political perspectives on foreign issues are paradoxical to the stance on almost similar disputes in the domestic front with the ulterior motive being favorable outcome to the west.

Turkey is at the crossroads with an immediate requirement to save the nation from further subjugation and undermining of national sovereignty by western forces asserting authority along NATO alliance.

Turkey withdrawal from NATO is the preliminary step towards freedom.

Turkish electorate across the spectrum together with political opposition demand for AKP to step down from power is valid in light of Prime Minister Erdogan and Foreign Minister Davoutoglu erroneous decisions and deliberate actions against fellow citizens in Syria and Iraq.

Notwithstanding AKP leaderships gross negligence in sheltering dangerous terror networks for personal ambitions evidently energized organizations within society to harm nationals on Turkish soil.

AKP colossal failure to defend national honor and integrity on Flotilla debacle to contemporary Syrian intervention justify citizens protest seeking Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Foreign Minister Ahmet Davoutoglu as well as administration resignation from power.

Turkish people determination to rescue their beloved country from foreign usurpation has to begin with ending their government synonymous indulgence in Syria and Iraq or anywhere in the region.

Turkey is a vibrant young nation with patriots opposed to their government systemic abuse of power and disdain for constitution.

National call for AKP removal is critical to oust foreign insurgence in Turkey setting future precedence on treasonous act surrendering nation against republic will.

Turkish citizens and political power also bear responsibility towards Kurdish compatriots and other ethnic minority or natives in recognition of their equal rights eliminating prejudice to exemplify social progress.

Amicable settlement with PKK and release of their leader Abdullah Ocalan having served sentence for a considerable time in the politically driven conviction would emancipate all paving way for peaceful co-existence.

Finally, heartfelt condolences to victims families affected in latest terrorism in Rehyanli town and Hatay province with prayers for the departed souls to rest in peace and speedy recovery of the wounded in the senseless violence.

Wishing Anatolia, the Republic of Turkey a new beginning with true independence, peace and prosperity in abundance.

Peace to Turkey!

Peace to all

Thank you.

Pakistan – Violence and Terrorism Sponsored To Destabilize Nation For Subjugation

May 19, 2013

By Padmini Arhant

Pakistan is not spared from violence with incessant bombings and explosions having become the routine since United States invasion of Afghanistan in 2001.

Pakistan then regarded an ally in the fictitious war on terror for more than a decade and ongoing has transformed the state into terror haven.

The relentless drone strikes in north western territory Waziristan and areas adjoining Afghanistan border are declared playground in the remotely operated drone attacks by United States escalating UAV killings in the past four years despite mounting civilian casualties comprising mostly children and women.

Ignoring the fact on reckless drone war providing terror networks opportunity for new recruits, the continued drone operation leads to western collaboration with terror groups in perpetuating terrorism alongside proliferating arms supply costing innocent lives nationwide.

Throughout general election campaign the spate of terror assaults in Pakistan paralleled Iraq – the country experiencing horrific violence that peaked during provincial election prompting six out of eighteen provinces to postpone the event.

The unacceptable and senseless act clarifies the motives behind heinous crimes to disrupt democratic process in these nations creating indefinite unrest.

Unfortunately, anti-democracy forces aim for civilian deaths causing fear among the electorate to advance their destabilization agenda.

Pakistan like Iraq is confronted with Unites States, Britain, Israel and Saudi fomented sectarianism and internal terror elements sheltered by various collusions within operating against national interest.

The latest bombing near the mosque on Friday May 17, 2013 resulting in at least thirteen victims and several injured following Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) announcement to form coalition and a day latter the assassination of PTI co-founder and Senior Vice President Zahra Shahid Hussain in Karachi is reprehensible considering the masterminds disregard for life.

PTI Chairman Imran Khan reportedly attributed the assassination to Karachi based Muttahida Quami Movement (MQM) claiming that the self-exiled MQM leader Altaf Hussain who is also a British citizen publicly threatened PTI members subsequent to vote fraud allegations against MQM party.

Any political party or candidacy rise to power and prominence through unscrupulous means especially violence and terrorist activity endanger citizens safety in false representation as political leader to serve the people of the nation they intend to harm for self-promotion.

Such political faction or entity egregious conduct compromises national sovereignty and security.

Those responsible for the crimes against PTI leader Zahra Shahid Hussain and the loss of lives in the earlier target near the mosque deserve to be brought to justice in fairness to the slain victims unjustly denied the freedom to life.

Interestingly, nefarious groups along with former and present dictatorships apparently find Britain’s political helm to be friendly host and often reflected in their choice of destination viz. London in the self-imposed exile evading litany of charges against them.

Foreign powers complicity in the politically motivated criminal incidents contributes to the real identity and characteristics of the authority not to mention the involvement seriously jeopardizing national integrity and credibility.

Sincere condolences offered to bereaved families affected in the irrational terror.

May God grant strength to the survivors in enduring the tragic situation and bless the departed souls to rest in peace.

Peace to Pakistan!

Peace to all!

Thank you.

Lebanon – Cabinet Formation and Consensus on Electoral Law

May 19, 2013

By Padmini Arhant

Lebanon is currently confronted with two major challenges and they are cabinet formation and decision on new electoral law.

Lebanon under Prime Minister-Designate Tammam Salam is engaged in cabinet structure prohibiting selected ministers from contesting in the forthcoming Parliamentary election in adherence to national constitution.

The Premier-Designate proposal to set up National Unity Government might emanate from efforts to appease the centrist faction proclaimed as The Progressive Socialist Party maintaining close ties with Saudi Arabia government and the U.S. backed March 14th Bloc Future Movement headed by former Prime Minister Saad Hariri in the three way distribution of eight posts each shared among the two foreign backed political parties and the national March 8th block holding majority.

Understandably, the March 8th Bloc with higher representation in Parliament as the leading power per electoral choice is not pleased with the caretaker leadership preparation characterized as de facto group rather than acknowledgment of actual composition leading to fair compliance.

Lebanon Prime Minister-Designate Tammam Salam intentions on equal cabinet allocations could very well be regarded as an attempt to alleviate tensions in the political circle.

However, the issue is larger than mere configuration considering Lebanon experience with foreign intervention especially the two parties i.e. centrists and March 14th Bloc liaisons with Saudi Arabia and United States respectively may not necessarily serve national interest.

United States and Saudi Arabia indulgence not only in the Middle East but also in most parts of the world is to derail democracy or democratic prospects and cause sectarianism within society prominently in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq, Bahrain, Egypt, Yemen and Tunisia to name a few among many others across the globe.

Not to mention United States led western powers and Saudi Arabia teamed up with Qatar, Turkey, Jordan and UAE in the Middle East primarily responsible for Syrian conflict with spill over in Lebanon.

U.S. and Saudi meddling creating political crisis is well established and more relevant to Lebanon including the present situation.

Saudi regime opposed to democracy anywhere is to defend dynasty rule in Saudi Arabia and other gulf states while remaining subservient to western hegemony viz. United Sates, Israel, Britain, France and Germany by exchanging petro dollars for arms used against peaceful protesters subjecting them to torture, renditions and killings with western powers justifying their arms sales to repressive governments for Israel’s protection even though reality confirms belligerence.

United States and Britain in cohort with EU anti-democratic missions not barring assassinations is to expand imperialism far and wide.

Lebanon precautionary measures in the face of illegal invasion of Syria is extremely important rejecting influences from United States, Saudi Arabia and the likes on Israel’s behalf preventing history repeating itself given the prolonged civil war in recent memory and persistent Israeli aggression through reconnaissance undermining Lebanon sovereignty.

Lebanon’s neutral position on Syria is prudent and simultaneously eliminating militant activities and weapons smuggling across the border especially in areas like Tripoli, Akkar, Ersal and Wadi Khaled would ease the burden on Lebanon in containing Syrian refugee influx into the country.

Lebanese government and national defense force combined efforts in dealing with terror manifestations along Syrian border is critical for domestic security.

Notwithstanding humanitarian as well as economic problems directly affecting Lebanon due to these loopholes facilitating violence in the neighboring state Syria forcing residents to flee their homeland.

Tightening border patrol with deployment in territories vulnerable to terrorist access is essential to remove terror.

Premier- Designate Tammam Salam adopting strategy in accordance with electoral mandate represented in Parliament would be a viable option.

Whoever has fair share of votes elected to power to form government.

In this instance, the March 8th Bloc or Loyalty to Resistance Bloc concerns are legitimate and moving ahead with cabinet reflecting Parliamentary composition for each political party would be a logical approach conforming to democratic standard.

The question of unilateral rule would not apply upon meeting the constitutional and Parliamentary requirements with political parties gaining power sometimes as absolute majority or by coalition as long as republic will is honored to govern the state.

Lebanon’s caretaker leadership commitment to Lebanese electorate would guarantee political stability instead of adjustments to accommodate foreign backed members that compromise citizens rights to self-determination.

Premier-designate Tammam Salam factual consideration correlating with Parliamentary proportion when finalizing cabinet portfolio is the pragmatic solution to the otherwise unnecessary political stalemate.

On the electoral law – the contentions are choosing between Orthodox gathering proposal favoring winner-takes-all system and proportional representation system which is the existing law introduced in 1960.

Lebanon Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri suggestion on Hybrid vote law allowing 64 Muslim and Christian MPs elected under orthodox system while the other 64 Muslim and Christian MPs to be elected on proportional representation system is peace-making formula unfortunately not suitable in practicality.

Universal method for local and national election is always better to minimize confusion among voters in the country. Besides uniformity is also cost effective.

Winner-takes-all-system often produces great deal of disappointment for losing candidacy supporters and as a result nation remains polarized on legislation.

Whereas proportional representation system provides opportunity to cast ballots on specific to general voter aspiration.

Another added value in this context is representation made possible across the spectrum almost in entirety leaving none behind qualifying as functional democracy unlike winner-takes-all-system uncertainty to encompass diverse perspectives of population.

Effectively proportional representation involves majority rule i.e. popular preference concurrently enabling minority engagement in legislative process as expected in republic governed democracy.

Lebanon could no longer afford to waste time with political disagreements stalling economic progress.

Israeli encroachment is a serious violation and deserves proper surveillance and deterrence mechanism in place.

Political vacuum is an invitation for infiltration jeopardizing independent status.

Lebanon political leaderships together with members in Parliament and caretaker governance efficient performance demonstrating mutual cooperation for national goals prioritizing security and economic growth is imperative in the interim and long term.

Peace in Syria would ensure stability in Lebanon and across Middle East.

Hence Lebanon utilizing maximum potential blocking terrorism within and around national boundary is a permanent task unyielding to any distraction.

Wishing success to citizens in Lebanon and leaderships in the caretaker government Prime Minister-Designate Tammam Salam and political parties for amicable resolution on impending national affairs.

Peace to Lebanon!

Peace to all!

Thank you.

Syria – Western Sponsored Violence Delineates Sponsors From Civilized Society

May 17, 2013

By Padmini Arhant

United States authorized Israeli airstrikes in January and May 2013 targeting Jamraya Scientific Research Center near Damascus resulting in civilian casualties and carnage were ignored by United Nations that otherwise is swift in imposing sanctions and isolation of nations regarded western adversaries upon being accused of any such involvement.

Reiterating the fact on UN disregard and bias concerning US, Israel, Britain, France and allies flagrant violations of international law, foreign nations sovereignty and human rights foment atrocities including cannibalism in Syria.

Notwithstanding the rise of US and Israeli belligerence through illegal air strikes as their prerogative along with Britain and France blocking UN action to list al-Nusra Front as terrorist organization despite own admission to this effect evidenced in U.S. State department classification – attributed to UN and international community tolerance to violence and injustice.

Further, the western sponsorship of terrorism against Syria on UN and rest of the world watch tantamount to complicity in war crimes against humanity.

The recent revelation on United States and coalition of the willing recruited terrorists dehumanized conduct confirms predator instincts demonstrated in action delineating western powers and gulf allies from civilized society.

Recalling former President George W. Bush rhetoric quoting – ‘If you are not with us then you are with the terrorists‘ ironically exemplified by the incumbent administration.

With curtains lifted and characters identified there are no more speculations on the fictitious war on terror evolved into terrorizing force proudly leading the onslaught showing no remorse for innocent deaths and turmoil in Syria.

The predecessors Bush-Cheney war mongering legacy continues and vigorously carried out by President Barack Obama with changes in modus operandi.

Earlier on the previous administration pursued targets using lies, deception and false flag operation 9/11 for foreign invasion and occupation with troops deployment.

Although false flag events exponentially risen in the current strategy, the difference lies in bypassing political rigmarole of congressional approval and most importantly public dissent on illegal wars with authorization of drone strikes in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Yemen and Somalia…not to mention terrorist recruitment on foreign soil as witnessed in Libya and now Syria.

However, Washington’s terror policy having reached a crescendo backfired at them in accordance with the adage – “What goes around comes around.”

The ramification was felt in the yet to be resolved mystery on the sexual assault and assassination of US ambassador Christopher Stevens and three or four embassy staff in eastern city Benghazi, Libya.

Whenever national authority transforms into authoritarianism in the absence of accountability committing crimes with impunity as executive privilege, national sovereignty and security is compromised leaving vulnerable citizens in the domestic and international domain at the mercy of state terror.

Hence, US led western and gulf alliance terrorism in Syria wasting respective taxpayer funds in several million dollars on terror networks with comprehensive aid in the form of lethal and logistic support clarifies the leaderships anti-republic stance considering a staggering number of citizens in United States, Britain and France pushed below poverty line and forced to become dependents on charity alongside severe austerity on the remaining people nationwide.

Simultaneously United States signaled Israeli airstrikes aren’t cheap either with exorbitant economic costs involved in using bombers and deadly missiles at Syrian victims expense in human toll while American children as well as families plight exacerbated in gross neglect of economy to feed ravenous war machinery.

American citizens and global rejection of western and regional intervention in Syria is slighted perpetuating killings at free will due to past and present war crimes not having been brought to justice.

The egregious decisions conscientiously arrived at United States, Israel, Britain, France and Germany behest implemented through Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, UAE and Jordan to inflict suffering on Syria, Libya, Iraq and Afghanistan ominously leads to self-destructive indulgence directly affecting the operatives and the origin of terror.

Proceeding with more airstrikes against Syria is endangering fragile political career for western and gulf regimes expediting terror epicenter imminent collapse.

Exercising prudence by avoiding counterproductive activities would be wise in averting earth-shattering catastrophe affecting the agents and source.

Wishing citizens and leaderships in Syria resolve in successfully terminating terror from their homeland.

Peace to Syria!

Peace to all!

Thank you.

Malaysia – General Election 2013

May 16, 2013

By Padmini Arhant

Congratulations! To Malaysian electorate, Prime Minister Najib Razak and Barisan Nasional aka The National Front coalition on the major victory in the national election held in May 2013.

Malaysian Premier recognition of the challenges and preparation for national reconciliation process is prudent especially post election generating disenchantment amongst opposition supporters and skepticism on the way forward.

Malaysia being a diverse society adopting inclusive strategy for broad consensus on domestic and foreign issues would ease tensions and promote unity yet maintaining uniqueness in contributions towards economic, social and cultural development.

Political factions gaining traction through polarization often experience setbacks and decline precipitously subsequent to any unrest caused by opportunism serving against national interest.

Malaysia as an ASEAN member share common economic woes along with specific domestic problems and policies directed at growth opportunities across the spectrum would reduce income disparity and improve living standards for the vast majority.

Further investments and program expansion in underdeveloped regions of the country aimed at national outreach transcending demography, ethnicity and other barriers would guarantee returns favorable in all aspects leading to sustainable progress leaving none behind in domestic achievement.

Social equality is possible with fair political representation at the local and national level accompanied by funding to marginalized communities providing housing, education, and health services besides facilitating technology access to build and enhance skills for productivity resulting in self-sufficiency.

The political representatives elected to office fulfilling constitutional oath and campaign promise to voters alongside resolving relevant crises in a timely manner avoiding evasions is the fundamental requirement in a functional democracy.

Accountability and transparency lacking in political system is the reason behind rampant corruption with privileged class abusing power and depriving significant population life with dignity.

Checks and balances are essential to eliminate misuse of authority and economic status with laws applicable to all without exception.

Malaysia is also targeted with foreign intervention and not spared from United States and Saudi regime terror deployment in the country.

The ruling and opposition leaderships together with entire nation bear responsibility in driving external sources sponsored terrorists elements from their soil to avert serious threats to sovereignty and national security.

United States, Saudi regime and allies collaboration witnessed in Syria unleashing terror wherever and whenever possible is to be deterred with strong resistance from national, regional and global representation.

Addressing matter confronting the nation through dialogue and commitment to peaceful negotiations set precedence for the future.

Best Wishes to Malaysian citizens and Prime Minister Najib Razak as well as other leaderships nationwide for long lasting peace and success benefitting all.

Peace to Malaysia!

Peace to all!

Thank you.
