Lebanon – New Premier Designate Tammam Salam

April 6, 2013

By Padmini Arhant

Congratulations! To newly selected Premier Designate Tammam Salam of Lebanon.

The Premier Designate has tough challenges ahead; nonetheless unity among political factions in national interest would facilitate transitional government to deliver the requirements on all matter.

Again, Lebanon could lend necessary support to victims in Syria with tighter border control restricting cross border terrorism and flow of weapons that has consumed many lives in the embattled nation.

The refugee situation with thousands fleeing into nearby borders deserves adequate humanitarian assistance.

The families are extremely vulnerable and treating them humanely is important rather than abusing their disadvantaged status.

Lebanon’s Interior Minister Marwan Charbel stated that some political factions in Lebanon are training these citizens as militants to fight alongside terror networks in Syria.

Such activities are reckless and irresponsible considering these citizens were rendered homeless and forced to leave their towns and villages by the foreign backed terrorist groups and they are in fact responsible for death and destruction of innocent lives in Syria.

Those political entities in Lebanon involved in exploiting human plight are not only exacerbating Syrian suffering but also increasing the burden on Lebanese population creating more refugee problems in neighboring Syria.

Instead, Lebanon and other neighbors of Syria working to end conflict is prudent for that would enable Syrians to rebuild the nation ruined by terrorism.

Moreover, once the illegal proxy war is brought to conclusion, Syrians would not risk their lives crossing over to foreign land and experience hostility.

Setting adjacent nation on fire in the belief that would not affect the states in close proximity is a gross miscalculation.

The security of nations sharing border with Syria – Lebanon, Iraq, Turkey, Jordan and Israel as far as Egypt are directly linked with Syrian crisis.

Turkey, Jordan and Israel are contributing to the turmoil in Syria ignoring widespread ramifications to affect them sooner than later.

Although, Turkey and Jordan leaderships remain active in aggravating the Syrian warfare,

Their approach towards victims of senseless violence is not honorable either, since both nations continue to deport desperate Syrians arriving on respective territories and deny them hospitable environment.

Hence, ceasefire in Syria terminating violence and complete withdrawal of terror operatives is the only option for stability across the Middle East with Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Israel, Jordan and Turkey situated in the region.

Premier designate Tammam Salam with significant political experience and public service poised to lead Lebanon through some expected and unpredictable circumstances not unique in election year for any nation.

Lebanon political system overwhelming approval of Premier designate Tammam Salam is promising and maintaining the trend throughout would perhaps lead to effective governance.

Best Wishes to Premier designate Tammam Salam, various political leaderships and people of Lebanon – peace and success in all endeavors to republic and national benefit.

Peace to all!

Thank you.

Lebanon – Political Stability and Unity Key to Defend National Sovereignty

April 5, 2013

By Padmini Arhant

The Mediterranean Middle Eastern nation – Lebanon instability premised on collision in diverse culture and political thoughts remains western doctrine.

Lebanon in particular due to geographic location constantly experiences meddling from the problematic coalition – United States, Israel and Saudi Arabia with intermittent indulgence by France as the previous colonizer contributing to unnecessary turmoil.

The deadly combination anti-democratic strategies strive for puppet governments to advance their objectives against neighboring states Syria and Iran.

Israel and Saudi Arabia espousing radicalism through Zionist ideology and Wahabi-Salafist favored Muslim Brotherhood respectively deploy United States embassy primarily tasked with espionage services utilizing CIA and Mossad specialty in toppling democratically elected governments not excluding assassination of leaders representing viable democracy.

Lebanon political setbacks directly attributed to United States, Israel and Saudi sponsored terrorism going back to assassination of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafiq Hariri in 2006 during Bush-Cheney co-Presidency and,

Subsequently democratically elected government dismissed in 2010 under President Barack Obama administration influencing factions to undermine Hezbollah representation in Parliament.

The latest event involves United States and Israel coercion in Prime Minister Najib Mikati resignation.

Prime Minister Najib Mikati currently heading caretaker government with New Premier nomination underway until national elections called for at the earliest possible.

The recent disturbance for Lebanese government linked with political parties lack of consensus on electoral law and election monitoring committee besides controversy surrounding Police Chief Major General Ashraf Riffi extension of term in office.

Such proposal would allow exception stretching the existing law and set precedence unhelpful to Lebanon now and later.

Moreover Police Chief Major General Ashraf Riffi alleged strong ties with Saudi regime – the root cause of Middle Eastern unrest and quagmire provide opportunity to stir problems in the fragile state.

Internal Security Chief Ashraf Riffi retirement on March 31, 2013 per Lebanon law and handing over to interim chief Brigadier General Roger Salem until new ISF director general appointment is prudent to scuttle unnecessary political and internal clashes over this issue.

In the northeastern part of Lebanon, Tripoli adjoining Syrian border, the flare up between pro-Syrian government and foreign backed terrorists claimed some lives alongside facilitating weapons and terror networks influx into Syria.

Prime Minister Najib Mikati government neglect on border control not sealing the areas exploited by foreign terror groups to enter Syria threatens Lebanon security as well.

Not to mention Israeli regime already demonstrated in this regard flying into Lebanon air space past week – reconnaissance planes and jets in direct violation of Lebanon and international law.

Again, Israel known for such violations repeat incidents with impunity unless nations that are violated safeguard territory with appropriate air defense in terms of radar surveillance issuing stern warnings upon foreign encroachment.

Lebanon after suffering western and Saudi instigated political turbulence and warfare no longer afford prolonging status quo.

Western and Saudi-Qatar determination to destroy nations across Middle East and every other Islamic nation such as Pakistan, even in Malaysia with United States and Saudi funded terrorists in Sabah province are merely tip of the iceberg.

United States, Israel, Britain, France and Saudi-Qatari-Turkey and Jordan alliance in Syria continue to consume lives indiscriminately evident in the assassination of religious scholar and Sunni Cleric Mohammad Said Ramadan al-bouti and grandson along with those attending prayer at the mosque.

Muslim community worldwide and especially Arabs in the Middle East must realize that sectarianism and communal clashes on the basis of Sunni, Shia, Alawite, and various denominations pave way to forces behind polarization to attack the peaceful religion of Islam, the Prophet (PBUH) and desecration of holy sites in Mecca carried out by Saudi dynasty.

Amid confrontation within society, the foreign invaders having manufactured crises justify intrusion under the guise of offering security when the real intention is access to resources and rein control over governance with pro-western government.

This pattern not necessarily confined to Middle East and other Islamic nations, in fact the implementation is pervasive and henceforth defiant nations are primary targets in the neo-colonization of the world.

Lebanon is a secular nation comprising Muslims, Christians and other demography facing consistent threats from Israel muscled with United States artillery and Saudi-Qatar servitude denying peace in Middle East.

However, Lebanon or any nation in similar position could challenge external interference with solidarity pledged to national sovereignty and rights to self-determination rejecting camouflaged western backed elements in political, military and economic establishment.

Hegemony regards entities and resistance movement supporting citizens and protecting national assets as obstacles to their aspirations and accordingly conspires or plots to remove them.

Any nation that succumbs to these tactics surrenders independent status and instead electing leadership that demonstrates courage, integrity and patriotism vowed to maintain peace and social integration critical for survival in the hostile environment.

Furthermore, people power through strong emergence with unified stance across the spectrum thwarts foreign dominance.

Lebanon commitment to protect all citizens as part of mainstream transcending isolation of community or political difference barring terror activities in the country and towards neighbors essential for national unity.

Security is shared responsibility among political, intelligence and military demanding cooperation on territorial matter.

Preventing terrorism with resolve would save civilian lives in Lebanon and adjacent countries fighting proxy war.

Lebanon economy could vastly improve with amicable political settlement, electoral laws conforming to international standard witnessed in 2012 Venezuelan election and declining foreign operatives destabilization agenda.

Israel, United States and Saudi obsession with Hezbollah declaring the democratically elected political members ‘terrorist’ reflective of accusers ambition to debilitate Lebanon intensifying vulnerability for broader engagement in the Middle East.

Lebanon political representation unheeding to western and Saudi pressure alongside assistance to nations dealing with foreign terrorism as well as occupation is extremely important in self and regional interest.

Best Wishes to people and leaderships in Lebanon for multi-faceted development focused on formidability to foreign assertion sustaining progress in all frontiers.

Peace to all!

Thank you.

Korean Peninsula – Peaceful Strategy Only Option to Defuse Crisis

April 4, 2013

By Padmini Arhant

United States having initiated massive troop deployment and nuclear capable B-52 and B-2 stealth bombers, F-22 fighter jets, USS McCain and Decatur naval missile destroyers and anti-missiles in Pacific Island of Guam…in Korean Peninsula,

Notwithstanding contentious illegal economic sanctions along with cyber attacks against North Korea contributed to current standoff and require unraveling with rationale and peaceful strategy.

The situation cannot be escalated any further having reached a crescendo and appropriately demand restraints on all sides to protect lives in the territory and offshore.

First and foremost, lifting unjustified trade embargo and financial restrictions are absolutely necessary to allow North Korean population normal existence.

The whole idea of constricting economies in unlawful and discriminatory sanctions by western powers with no western nation ever sanctioned despite past and present horrendous crimes against humanity exerts supremacy denying countries recognition on sovereignty, territorial integrity and citizens rights to self-determination.

Above all, United States led economic warfare via illegitimate sanctions against any nation is in gross violation of human rights considering slow and painful death inflicted on innocent victims enduring inhumane policy.

The rest of the world obediently following such arbitrary rules share equal responsibility in committing genocide rather than concerted action rejecting prejudice and injustice towards nations that are assumed fair targets in the increasingly hostile environment dominant with powers conforming to hierarchy.

Again having not experienced sanctions ramifications, those behind implementation are directly responsible for human suffering through isolation while exempting them from similar misery regardless of individual and collective trajectory.

Next course to scuttle growing tension with North Korea is U.S. withdrawal of marine and aviation incursion under the pretext of preparation to DPRK threats when Pyongyang reaction emanating from United States interference in reconciliation process between people of North and South Korea.

United States intrusion anywhere causing turmoil is to facilitate rival factions i.e. the so-called allies ammunitions supply not barring nuclear armed fighter jets favoring arms manufacturer in the military industrial complex while ignoring massive civilian casualties in the profiteering and power quest beyond control.

Due to this reckless involvement in sovereign nations internal affairs, the citizens in the victim nations are forced to bear the loss of their loved ones including severe damages to infrastructure not sparing hospitals, schools, universities, church, mosques and public buildings along side destruction of private property leaving millions as refugees witnessed in Syria and Mali repeating Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya and Yemen scenario.

Simultaneously, Americans, Britons and other natioals in western society are enforced with austerity resulting in domestic self-immolations and starvation due to fund allocation for sponsoring terrorism in Syria and warfare in Mali killing thousands of children, women and men in the relentless crusade to satisfy oligarchy and imperialists aspirations for foreign resources and land.

Last but not the least, transcending destabilization motto is a necessity in the evolutionary paradigm.

Besides intelligence agencies – CIA, MOSSAD, MI5, MI6 and counterparts, embassy / high commission primarily setup for espionage in addition to ill-reputed United States Agency for International Development (USAID) to sabotage functional democratic system overseas contrary to the acronym claim.

The non-governmental organizations (NGO), certain religious authority plus centers and some false human rights groups are also partners in the mission discrediting genuine members and institutes dedicated to humanitarian service.

On the economic front, trade treaty viz. Free Trade Agreement (FTA), Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), financial offers leading to economy insolvency from IMF, World Bank, ECB, and Federal Reserve…monetary proposals and mandatory loans to perpetuate banking fraud are predominant reasons behind prevalent gloom and doom expected to exacerbate origin and actual beneficiaries unlike taxpayers alone transformed into generational debtors under existing condition.

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un declaration to boost economy is a positive step and reopening Kaesong industrial park generating income to DPRK and families on both sides would be prudent in expediting progress.

Restoring communication channels with South Korea and persistent peaceful negotiations are critical for both nations in national and republic interest.

United States honoring Korea’s sovereign rights in abstaining from counterproductive activities best suited to promote peace.

Best Wishes to citizens and leaderships in North and South Korea for successful peace accord leading to reunification.

Peace to all!

Thank you.

Korean Peninsula – Denuclearization and DMZ Prudent for North and South Korea Existence

April 3, 2013

By Padmini Arhant

North Korea frustration to United States military incursion in Korean Peninsula is understandable.

However, resuming mothballed nuclear reactor including uranium enrichment at Yongbyon facility foment more aggression all around that is favorable to none.

Nuclear options is extremely dangerous and best rejected to protect lives in Korea and United States.

North Korean military and political leadership should realize that direct involvement through peace talks with South Korea alongside communication revival reinstating recently cancelled hotline in the demilitarized zone is vital and effective to neutralize United States fueled nuclearization.

Pyongyang reactionary steps simply provide fodder for aggressor to justify unjustifiable actions and scapegoat victim as provocateur.

Instead North Korean leadership persistent peace efforts initiating dialogue at various levels with South Korean counterpart restoring communication, transportation, reopening industrial complex providing livelihood to both North and South Korean families etc. would decrease unnecessary skirmishes in the territory.

South Korean President Park conciliatory political approach to North Korean leader Kim Jong-un peace overtures equally important to scuttle foreign power enforced hostility against Korean population on both sides.

Reiterating the fact, United States imperialistic quest with substantial military buildup in Asia amid domestic double dip economic recession, anti-American sentiment worldwide and alarmingly high suicides among U.S. armed forces,

The passion for militarism accompanied by nuclear armed artillery squandering millions of dollars in flying B-2 bombers that cost American tax payers $5.6 million past week and F-22 stealth fighter jets is a political decision to appease hegemony.

United States military and political leaderships respect for national sovereignty and citizens right to self-determination without terrorizing North Korea with military might and,

Similarly proxy wars funding and arming terrorists in Syria would perhaps mitigate tension allowing peaceful negotiations in the respective states currently dealing with United States manufactured crises.

Again nuclear status do not deter Untied States led hegemony to undermine countries abroad as witnessed with nuclear states Pakistan, India or for that matter China and Russia.

U.S. infiltration through drone strikes in Pakistan, energy policy restriction for India and Pakistan, anti-missiles to NGO operations in Russia, cyber and currency warfare with China are few of the many wanton provocations presumptuously undertaken to prove United States declining credibility and integrity in the rapidly changing geopolitical dynamics.

North Korea focus in building local economy and strengthening ties with South Korea would be viable response facilitating bilateral relations and any further antagonism from United States would clearly subject the source to imminent withdrawal.

Hence, North Korean leader Kim Jong-un adopting positive and constructive course towards South Korea and accordingly President Park Geun-Hye honoring diplomacy as pledged on the campaign trail would deliver desirable results than pursuing offensive tactics that is potentially catastrophic to Korea’s existence and regional safety.

North Korea avoiding strategies such as nuclear weapons enhancement even for defensive purpose would essentially shift responsibility and burden on United States to retreat and renounce belligerence causing enormous strife in the otherwise resolvable internal sovereign matter between North and South Korea.

Power exercised with violence and warfare exacerbates problems with irreversible outcome whereas peace guarantee unity, security and progress to all.

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un and South Korean President Park Geun-Hye are urged to acknowledge peace ending the foreign instigated nuclear armed militarization of peaceful Korea.

Wishing citizens in North and South Korea amicable agreement on all issues concerning the republic of Korea leading to successful reunification process.

Peace to all!

Thank you.

Korean Peninsula – Peace and not War is the Solution to U.S. led Crisis

April 1, 2013

By Padmini Arhant

United States persistent military incursion in Korean Peninsula is a clear provocation.

The latest maneuvers premised on usual tactics – United States press and media complicity through deception and false propaganda is unnecessary and unaffordable in every aspect.

The notion that wars would revive U.S. economy is a myth considering the status quo attributed to the extravagant military expeditions involving illegal invasion, occupation and decimation of sovereign states around the world.

Notwithstanding phenomenal loss of lives and economic liabilities when American citizens are burdened with generational indebtedness while victim nations generations wiped out to serve hegemony goals disregarding prevalent cataclysmic outcome.

North Korea continues to endure United States military and nuclear threats with B-52 nuclear capable bombers flown all the way from Whiteman Air Force Base, Missouri and F-22 Stealth fighter jets under the pretext of missile defense dispatched to South Korea.

The situation further aggravated in moving USS Fitzgerald guided missile-destroyer closer to beleaguered state.

These military activities are carried out over and above crippling economic and financial sanctions, cyber attacks and various provocative actions thus far.

United States deliberate and antagonistic measures against North Korea are counterproductive and best abandoned with complete withdrawal of U.S. presence from the region and world over.

In fact, United States sprawling military bases and sponsoring terrorism primarily responsible for violence and turmoil across the globe.

United States offer to protect South Korea against U.S. instigated warfare is a cliché and reminiscent of 9/11 attack with United States military, intelligence and political establishment collusion to perpetuate terror on Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Libya, Yemen, Somalia, Syria and now towards North Korea.

American taxpayers issued a blank check (cheque) on Afghanistan and Iraq wars.

The combined operations cost them multi trillion dollars skyrocketing national debt and ever since billions are expended in pursuing hegemony agenda depriving United States population normal existence with a staggering fifty five millions on food stamps, significant number of people rendered homeless and dependent on charity.

Again the misplaced priority to consume lives rather than saving them with divestments from militarism into United States economy improving joblessness, infrastructure, health care, education, housing, environment and addressing rising poverty confirms political decisions on war policy reject American plight for Imperialistic aspiration.

United States renouncing violent pursuits would perhaps provide the world opportunity to focus on pervasive national development instead of substantial military spending draining respective states treasury for death and destruction.

U.S. belligerence enforce disproportionate defense budget allocations on developing and developed nations to benefit arms manufacturer, banking and energy industry denying growth in other areas of economic sector essential for survival.

American public demand that government invest resources on economy and national issues over aggression against foreign nations critical in dealing with economic woes and precarious future.

In the Korean issue, United States engagement with North Korea is uncalled for and allowing North and South Korea to reconcile differences would de-escalate tensions in the territory.

North and South Korea are quite capable of resolving the matter with United States non-interference that only exacerbates the problem.

United States war rhetoric is not helpful in the otherwise preventable confrontation.

Nuclear options contemplation is reckless and catastrophic to the region and the world at large.

Political discourse, diplomacy and peaceful negotiations are the only means for reconciliation between North and South Korea.

Any nation in opposition to peace and dialogue misrepresent sovereign and republic status.

United States refrainment from military course and respect for life, national sovereignty as well as rights to self-determination of independent nations is the viable approach to defend national and global security.

The leaderships of North Korea and South Korea are urged to pledge to peaceful settlement to safeguard Korean interests, freedom and national identity.

Wishing the leaders and people of North and South Korea permanent peace and successful reunification.

Peace to all!

Thank you.

Korean Peninsula – United States Exit From Region Critical For Peace

March 30, 2013

By Padmini Arhant

United States and South Korea military drill titled Key Resolve conducted on March 11 until March 21, 2013 involving 10,000 South Korean troops and 3,000 U.S. forces reiterated United States occupation in Korean Peninsula.

The flagrant display undoubtedly create rift under false pretext to protect South Korea when the situation since Korea’s partition has been the other way around with United States provocation against North Korea heightened in the past weeks stoking preparatory response from DPRK.

Despite North Korea’s repeat warnings to cease antagonistic military exercise not to mention economic warfare waged against DPRK population through U.S. illegal sanctions over decades, the recently imposed financial restrictions over and above trade embargo further exacerbate citizens plight.

The latest development also includes United States cyber attacks against DPRK official and government portals paralyzing essential activities along with flying nuclear capable B-52 stealth bomber over South Korea claimed as ‘deterrence’ action are clearly in violation of international law amounting to U.S. belligerence in the region.

Accordingly, North Korea having demonstrated extraordinary patience countered United States provocative measures with revoking armistice between the divided Korea and cancellation of hotline communication in the demilitarized zone.

Instead of de-escalating tensions, the United States signed a treaty with South Korea emphasizing renewal of military presence as well as arms and nuclear proliferation urging South Korea to move ahead even with perceived minima reaction from North Korea.

Considering United States contemporary aggression worldwide,

Notwithstanding sponsoring terrorism in Syria that has caused about 75,000 deaths and more counting with primitive methods like beheading victims and bombings of schools, Universities, hospitals, Church, Mosques and public sites on daily basis has left nearly a million refugees in deplorable and hostile conditions in Turkey and Jordan – the U.S. allies in the conflict.

United States current war mongering policy not barring nuclear threats under the so-called democrat and Nobel Peace Prize winning leadership arguably surpass much criticized Bush-Cheney administration.

Although, the condemnation of Bush-Cheney war crimes is justified still pending accountability due to incumbent authority guaranteed impunity to them pledging not to seek retribution over redemption.

The President as the commander-in-chief bear responsibility in military affairs exemplified in removal of General Stanley McChrystal, the former Chief of U.S. Armed Forces for off the record remark on the administration during the first term.

However, White House remaining defiant on substantial militarization in Asia Pacific alongside relentless drone strikes and proxy wars using terror networks in Syria is indicative of commitment to violence in opposition to peace and diplomacy.

United States political leaderships in the executive and legislative branch failure to adopt peaceful strategies on U.S. led hegemony manufactured international crises is a tradition maintained in the continuation of legacy at huge economic costs and most importantly innocent lives around the world.

The supremacy era is coming into conclusion necessitating the factions – Unites States and coalition to acknowledge changing geopolitical dynamics and paradigm shift in modern perspective rejecting superiority with global focus on equality and respect for national sovereignty, territorial integrity and indigenous society rights to self-determination.

Allowing the present standoff with North Korea to evolve into potential nuclear confrontation would be catastrophic for all and especially the United States given the vast troop deployment in Korean Peninsula and base in Japan.

United States comprehensive and complete troop withdrawal from Korea, Japan and elsewhere is the requirement for world peace and life survival based on past and ongoing turmoil consuming lives, livelihoods and entire planet resources to benefit those whose time on earth is limited yet they are determined to pursue counterproductive policies affecting billions with generational indebtedness and misery.

South Korea on the other hand surrendering sovereignty to foreign power rather than reconciliation with family in North Korea accommodates imperialist agenda to prolong subjugation and dominance experienced by citizens in Seoul and other parts of the country.

The increased violent incidents citing U.S. army personnel abuse taking undue advantage of detrimental Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA) deprives South Korean public any legal course against such crimes – a dilemma paradoxical to U.S. justification on occupation for South Korea’s security.

Hence, South Korean President Park Geun-Hye adherence to campaign promise declining war and unnecessary skirmishes with relatives in North Korea would clarify Seoul priority imperative to both North and South Korea’s existence and people safety.

Simultaneously, North Korea’s Premier King Jong-un frustration is understandable in the adversarial circumstances from aggressor.

Nonetheless equanimity is best suited to stifle desperate tactics favorable to none specifically the source i.e. United States and South Korea.

North Korean Premier Kim Jong-un resistance to foreign intervention would be effective upon initiating direct peace talks with South Korea and,

Similarly South Korean President Park Geun-Hye approach through political dialogue with North Korean leadership for amicable resolution of status quo is the only viable option preventing conventional war with nuclear exchange – an event unequivocally devastating to all sides regardless of military might and capability.

Violence begets violence and an eye for an eye will blind the world prevalent in hegemony loss of vision evidently self-destructive with imminent collapse.

Restraint combined with diligence and rationality on all sides is critical transforming apathy into empathy in respective republic and national interest.

Wishing the leaderships of sovereign North Korea Premier Kim Jon-un and President Park Geun-Hye of South Korea with citizens all together – success in re-establishment of Korea that cherishes peace and harmony with pervasive progress and prosperity conforming to cultural and national identity.

Peace to all

Thank you.

Syria – Western and Gulf Sponsors face inevitable backlash from Terrorism and Genocide

March 26, 2013

By Padmini Arhant

United States and Israel as the chief sponsors of terrorism along with western and gulf allies funding, arming and training Al Qaeda and splinter group Jabhat al-Nusra in Syria are directly responsible for nearly 75,000 deaths and almost a million refugees scattered across the border.

The western and gulf regimes callousness peaked when they supplied their terror group al-Nusra front with chemical weapons for use against civilians in Khan al-Assal near northwestern Aleppo that claimed 25 lives mainly children and women besides leaving many injured again mostly mothers and minors considering the attack took place in a small town.

Accordingly, the cowardly west and slave gulf states having lost human status individually and sovereignty in national identity is blocking independent investigation to biological warfare waged by them against the people of Syria on March 19, 2013.

Syria as the victim nation appropriately demanded WMD probe considering the casualties suffered on March 19, 2013 at United States, Britain and France resistance clarifying western and alliance flagrant violation of humanitarian and international law.

UN faltering and procrastination in authorizing fair inquiry on critical issue i.e. the western and gulf terrorists use of WMD on March 19, 2013 once again proves the ineffectiveness and colossal failure of this organization as international body to deal with humanitarian and global crises without politicizing the matter.

The investigation focus on March 19, 2013 massacre is pertinent preventing deliberate western protraction on fabricated incidents to scapegoat Syrian authority with ulterior motive for illegal military intervention although the proxy war via terrorist networks is direct invasion of the sovereign state.

In other development, the Arab league (AL) annual summit headed by perpetrators of Syrian genocide Israel, United States allies Qatar and Saudi Arabia decision to replace the founding member Syria with terrorist opposition is reflective of the lack of credibility among such members in the group and,

Furthermore, the vindictiveness is suggestive of the league being misled by gulf subservience to western ideology much to Arab and regional detriment.

Any organization, union or institution compromising on ethics, rationality and prudence in adopting hostility at external powers behest lose legitimacy and crumble sooner than later.

Syria as a sovereign nation could forge ties sharing vision and strength with like-minded neighbors forming a regional and transnational consortium now and in the long run.

Despite horrendous atrocities and barbaric actions by the enemies of Syria and Syrian people in particular, the death squads despotic backers seemingly determined to plunge into darkness declining the path of light i.e.. Peace and ending violence.

Israel, United States, Britain, France, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Jordan persistence in perpetuating Syria’s death toll and carnage face inevitable backlash from self-generated terrorism with imminent catastrophe in epic proportion.

Israel being the existential threat in the Middle East and world peace abandoning wild fantasies for regional and global supremacy would guarantee self-existence and security.

Hence, the dark forces prolonging the Syrian conflict contribute to bloodshed of defenseless yet honorable members of Syrian society and challenge the Super natural power viz. Almighty God – the creator and protector with destruction upon provocation for reconstruction representing a new era devoid of negative dominance.

With heartfelt condolences to families of martyred souls like venerable scholar Mohammad Sayyed Ramadan Al-Bouti and the Sunni Cleric’s grandson including many bereaved households having lost their loved ones in the senseless battle driven by egotistical and self-destructive strategy,

Wishing the strong and resilient Syria renewed vitality to overcome tribulations with God’s immense grace and blessings on Syrian leadership and the people epitomizing human dignity and value.

Peace to Syria and rest of the world!

Thank you.

Syria –U.S. and Allies Backed Terrorism Use of WMD in North Aleppo Constitutes War Crimes

March 20, 2013

By Padmini Arhant

In the latest violent attack against innocent civilians in Syria, United States and allies sponsored terrorists used chemical weapons i.e. poisonous gas in the rocket fired missiles leaving at least 25 casualties majority of them reportedly women and children and many injured escalating heinous crime thus far.

The western and gulf regimes desperation to annihilate Syrian population appears to have no limit with utter disrespect for life considering vulnerable members such as women and children as well as elderly citizens have fallen prey to their persistent terrorism exceeding human endurance to violence.

UN condemnation against western and gulf partners WMD for the second time in Syrian conflict yet to be received and even otherwise, the sponsors and their terror operatives callousness targeting defenseless people speaks volume of the character and motives behind foreign intervention.

Western civil society bears responsibility in ending their respective leaderships overt involvement and funding of terrorism in Syria currently depriving western massive joblessness economic improvement in the domestic front.

The western dissent and further action like withholding tax dollars that are generously funneled to finance terrorism in Syria, Israeli militarization in occupied Palestine and drone strikes again killing children, women amongst mainstream victims urgently required to save lives on all sides viz.in Syria,the west and elsewhere.

Since there will be no response from UN, EU and United States Congress considering the national leaderships involvement in the crime against humanity, the international community especially the public from Muslim nations about fifty seven countries on this planet could act decisively in terminating fellow Muslims slaughter in Syria and world over.

Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu along with other AKP members treason in the surrender of Turkey’s sovereignty to foreign power under false pretext of Patriot Missile deployment is a huge betrayal to Turkish nationals,

Not to mention the leaders subservience to western invasion of Syria has actually resulted in illegal occupation of Turkey.

The people and political opposition in Turkey are required to move ahead with removal of authorities from power given the unconstitutional and undemocratic steps adopted by Prime Minister Erdogan and Foreign Minister Davutoglu in the unilateral decision allowing United States, Germany, Netherlands and Denmark…troops presence in Turkey creating Afghanistan situation confronted with arduous challenge in expulsion of Imperial power.

Turkey citizens demand to stop cross border terrorism facilitated by Prime Minister Erdogan and Foreign Minister Davutoglu against Muslim brothers and sisters in Syria evidently discarded by them and that would mean the only alternative is to replace leaderships in Ankara with political power committed to regional peace and national sovereignty.

Similarly Qatar and Saudi regimes remain in the forefront as western stooges in the decimation of Arab nation Syria much to Israel’s delight in the killing of unarmed Syrians rejecting call for ceasefire and end to violence.

Syria’s other neighbor Jordan double crossing Syrian society claiming cooperation in fighting terrorism while hosting United States military training of Al Qaeda and Jabat Al-Nusra terror networks in Jordan is worse than Qatar, al-Saud and Turkey combined violation of human trust in the prolonged conflict.

Organization for Islamic Cooperation (OIC) with memberships of fifty-seven Islamic countries denunciation of these rivals of Islam severing trade, diplomatic ties would be effective in relieving Muslim plight in Syria and around the world.

Alongside Muslim consumers global boycott of Qatar, Saudi, Jordan, Israel and western products and services could stifle western belligerence against Islamic country.

Simultaneously Non Aligned Movement (NAM) unanimous declaration imposing travel, financial, economic and arms embargo against Western and Gulf States seeking immediate conclusion to Syrian warfare is paramount proving the organization ability as an international body to rescue precious lives and promote peace.

Failure to implement these measures would consume more lives and drag the region notwithstanding the world into nuclear meltdown preventable with prudence and adherence to peace.

Meanwhile, the western powers beginning with United States, Israel, Britain, France, Germany and others flagrant abuse of diminishing privileged status against Syria already experienced in precipitous decline of economy with more adversities ahead yielding imminent collapse upon pursuing violence to justify the unjustifiable interference in Syria.

Western manufactured crises in arming terrorists with WMD and lethal substances inevitably haunt them sooner than later.

The western orchestrated political circus instructing illegitimate Syrian National Coalition to elect Texas based American citizen Ghassan Hitto as Prime Minister of Syria is hegemony ridicule of democracy through monumental hypocrisy.

Syrian leadership, government and people of Syria admirably demonstrate patriotism and humanitarian values in dealing with tremendous aggression not barring primitive practices by the representatives of the so-called modern society in the western world.

Syria’s suffering and sacrifices will not be in vain with perpetrators individually and collectively paying unaffordable price for the bloodshed and destruction of sovereign nation that posed no threat to anyone either in the Middle East or the rest of the world.

With heartfelt condolences to martyrs families in the brutal WMD assault and prayers for speedy recovery of children, women and others experiencing excruciating pain from exposure to chemicals in the western and gulf war mongering,

Wishing Syria instant CESSATION to violence with a new beginning epitomizing long lasting peace, progress and prosperity.

Peace to all!

Thank you.

North Korea – United States Provocation Against DPRK is Counterproductive

March 9, 2013

By Padmini Arhant

Korea colonized earlier by Japan until twentieth century endured typical colonial oppression.

Subsequently neo colonial power United States under the newly formed United Nations following World War II launched aggression against sovereign Korea in June 1950 and after three years the warring factions declared truce with Korea split into North and South according to hegemony agenda.

South Korea since then occupied with United States military base under the pretext of providing protection from North Korea.

United States offensive strategy conducting naval drills supposedly training South Korean forces for six decades intensified presence in Korean Peninsula and more so in the past three years with nuclear submarine on Yellow sea posing threats not only to North Korea but entire region likened to Persian Gulf incursion.

Washington’s antagonism towards North Korea from the beginning prompted Pyongyang to pursue nuclear aspirations and Korean leadership under former Premier Kim Jong Il developed nuclear capability with assistance from nuclear neighbors China and Pakistan in the Far East.

North Korea has been imposed with economic sanctions over decades for becoming a nuclear state.

In contrast United States has 5100 nuclear warheads and,

UNSC strongest ally Israel in possession of at least 200 – 500 nuclear arsenals enabled by U.S. and Britain with no formal acknowledgment to this effect and shielded from being listed as nuclear nation.

Again UN permanent security members i.e. P5 +1 United States, Britain, France, Russia, China and Germany are nuclear powers either overtly or covertly like Germany being a prominent NATO and leading EU member with nuclear access yet none of them have been subjected to International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspections and,

United States, Israel and others declined to be signatory to Non Proliferation Treaty (NPT) while conducting nuclear testing at their own convenience.

In the backdrop of consistent violations with respect to ballistic missiles and sub-nuclear testing by all nuclear states,

The P5 + 1 and other nuclear members in second tier security council unanimous consensus imposing sanctions against North Korea or any other country is claiming entitlement to nuclear weapons by them and highlight discriminatory precedence.

North Korea nuclear status is enforced upon the South Asian nation by United States and former imperial power Japan coherence using South Korea as pawn to militarize Asia Pacific.

With Japan and South Korea hosting U.S. military bases accompanied by rigorous exercise flaunting superpower prowess is provocative and an impetus to target nation North Korea to enhance defense mechanism in semblance with Iran in Middle East.

Furthermore, the illegal and immoral economic warfare waged by United States and allies misusing UNSC appropriately qualify for war crimes considering genocide committed in this regard.

The trade embargo predominantly hurt respective population being the victims in the arbitrary condemnation by those in defiance of the law applicable to all – apparently only in theory and not necessarily in practice.

UNSC sanctions against North Korea has debilitated economy with acute food shortage and basic necessities resulting in scores of deaths due to starvation and people suffering further exacerbated in United States militarism forcing North Korean divestments in defense build up rather than economic development.

Ironically, the incumbent ‘democrat’ administration under Nobel Peace Prize winning Presidency has rejected too many opportunities to reverse the predecessor trend against North Korea and likewise sponsoring terrorism in Syria.

In fact the overture from North Korean late leader Kim Jong Il for direct talks and negotiations including DPRK complete nuclear disarmament proposal conveyed through former U.S. President Jimmy Carter in 2010 was slighted rather than moving forward with constructive dialogue in pursuit of peaceful settlement.

North Korea requests for engagement with United States several times before to resolve the unnecessary standoff and merciless sanctions liberally used by UNSC dictating unreasonable terms and conditions on nations considered obstacle to hegemonic quest and perpetual warfare boosting arms industry, oil and banking cartels profiteering at the vast majority devastation.

Contrarily, the Obama administration has expanded militarization in Asia Pacific with President Barack Obama emphasizing United States determination to proliferate exponentially in Asia compared with Middle East in deterrence to emerging powers in the specific domain.

Another interesting factor being China with ongoing territorial disputes on land and international waters in South China Sea with Japan, India, Vietnam and Philippines is the co-sponsor with United States in the latest round of sanctions against North Korea.

China, Russia and western powers denounced North Korea’s third nuclear testing stating the imminent danger to international community although individually and collectively every one of them bear equal responsibility in this context.

Nuclear disarmament regardless of economic, military and political stature is no longer an option but a necessity for global peace and security.

The immediate resolution to escalating tension between North Korea and United States is to call off computer simulated drill titled Key Resolve involving around 10,000 American troops along with South Korean armed personnel scheduled to carry on aviation, land and marine regimen on March 11 to April 2013.

South Korea willingness to subjugation with foreign troops on national soil despite citizens experiencing sexual assault and violence from U.S. servicemen meant to safeguard South Korean rights attacking the same evidently eclipse the concept of democracy.

The U.S. violations in South Korea are no different from the abuse happening with Japanese residents at frequent intervals in Okinawa, only to be ignored by national leaderships in South Korea and Japan.

Similarly, Afghanistan is much worse in every respect with United States and International Special Armed Forces (ISAF) violence against local Afghans and their lives rendered expendable.

Inviting foreign forces for occupation on homeland eliminates sovereignty and over a certain period evolves into slavery with reciprocation of host guest relation identified as imperialistic trait. – Poignant lesson unheeded by Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan with Patriot Missile deployment debacle in Turkey.

South Korea and Japan freedom mortgaged for false sense of security with United States military camp that has only heightened tensions nuclearizing North Korea and allowing China to increase nuclear and defense potential.

United States and western illegal invasion and occupation of foreign land whether by conquest or consent is the fundamental cause for world unrest and turmoil.

South Korea’s rhetoric towards North Korea and the latter response to unjustified inhumane financial and trade restrictions routinely misused by the west and the rest at UNSC compounds the otherwise resolvable matter.

The clear and concise solution to this unwanted crises could be easily thwarted with reunification of North and South Korea.

Imperialism could not survive let alone thrive in the absence of polarization with civilians paying the highest price in the divided territory.

The leaderships and segments facilitating foreign exertion of authority in sovereign internal affairs flagrantly betray their nation and electorate trust characterized as treasonous act.

Lifting all sanctions against North Korea combined with United States troop withdrawal from Korean Peninsula is the immediate remedy as well as requirement paving way for North and South peaceful union reviving Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of Korea (CPRK) agreements and non-aggression pact signed between North and South to prevent military clashes by accident or volition.

North Korea frustration to United States provocation is well founded and DPRK reaction promoting CPRK peace treaty with South leaderships and populace would be potent to negate foreign power negative influence on South Korean government.

Simultaneously, the recently elected South Korean President Park Geun Hye outreach to North Korea adopting diplomatic course and abandoning western doctrine aimed at perpetual standoff for self-interest would be positive and conform to President Park’s message on campaign trail to persevere peace over violence against North Korea.

South Korea independence from foreign rule prevailing under United States military contingency threatening peace and progress not to mention citizens’ safety compromised in the series of incidents is paramount for Korea and regional stability.

Reiterating the fact that South Korea return to original existence in amalgamation with North Korea maximizing outcome from the synergies in terms of North military assets and South economic growth aided by North Korean substantial labor force would be pervasively beneficial.

Meanwhile, North Korea political adjustments delineating military from civilian governance towards constitutional based republican democratic system would ease lingering hostility and perhaps be appealing to South Korea in unification goal.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un introducing transparency with prudent political and economic restructuring focused on civil rights and liberty in conjunction with local productivity and self-sufficiency to overcome UNSC unethical and biased actions would yield desirable effects and prospective when forging alliance within and outside Asia.

North and South Korea recognition of fine attributes and shortcomings with mutual understanding and cooperation premised on peaceful and pragmatic approach is essential to reunite divided families and the nations together sharing common values and cultural heritage.

United States interference to destabilize nations is counterproductive and instead time and resource investments in addressing domestic issues would be wise as an urgent priority now and in the long run.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and South Korean President Park Geun Hye exercising restraints and rationality to preside over decision-making process is critical for national sovereignty and re-establishment of viable Democratic Republic of Korea.

Solidarity is key to deal with challenges emanating from familiar and foreign source.

Nuclear confrontation would be catastrophic for the world and best averted with restoration of communication channel especially the hot line in the demilitarized zone.

All sides are urged to observe sober interaction not saber rattling to defuse wanton altercation.

Wishing successful convergence of North and South Korea as a proud and free nation devoid of imperialistic and militaristic surrounding with a progressive, promising present and future.

Peace to all!

Thank you.
