Abusing Power and Taxpayer Money

Padmini Arhant

The visual content elaborates politics’ core violations in many dimensions and dynamics flouting rules, regulations, laws and legislations passed by them but not necessarily complied with by politics. The rules and laws are apparently only meant for the generally law abiding society leaving those in politics at the helm and influential sources to run a muck in breach of public trust and electoral mandate at every opportunity.

Politics is the fundamental cause for human suffering and misery.

It’s time for politics to come clean and accept responsibility for egregious decisions, dysfunctional governance, negligence on economy, gross abuse of power.

Above all, politics is the epitome of corruption and criminal dealings evading accountability with self-granted political impunity.

Politics surrendering personal illegal wealth – the people’s money stashed away in tax havens, illegitimate assets and foreign bank accounts is quintessential for validation of politics as lawful.

Relevantly, politics accounting for taxpayer money with budget reconciliation and fiscal expenditure besides politics partners in Federal Reserve and economic sector accounting for their share of public money under their authority acquired as privilege is critical to maintain taxation and tax collection from ordinary citizens burdened with enormous responsibility of funding government and allies lasting over generations.

The governments not accounting for taxpayer money forfeit the right or authority to collect taxes from citizens deploying diverse aggressive tactics and weaponizing citizens’ funded government agencies and apparatus against the republic – the people representing the nation at large.

Economic Data

California Economy: 

“California’s $3+ trillion GDP is an enormous figure in its own right, so it’s no surprise that it is larger than certain nations’ economic output. But even when comparing with economies like Malaysia, Colombia, and Finland, all among the top 50 countries by GDP, California stands tall.

California’s GDP in 2022 was $3.6T, representing 14.3% of the total U.S. economy. If California were a country, it would be the 5th largest economy in the world, and more productive than India and the United Kingdom.

If California were a sovereign nation (2022), it would rank in terms of nominal GDP as the world’s fifth largest economy, behind Germany and ahead of India.”

———————————————————————————

The important factor about California is with 39 million population generating $3.6 Trillion GDP growth. The stellar performance ranked as 5th largest economy in the world in return contributing to and enhancing United States economy to rank number one in the global arena is an impressive milestone.

Proud of the Golden State – California.

Indian Politics Reality

Padmini Arhant

The excerpts from CBC News on the assassination of Canadian Sikh Harjit Singh Nijjar.

India – the country as the most invaded nation on earth by colonial powers to modern day treasonous power mongers in collusion with anyone baiting pseudo hall of fame, false felicitations and monetary rewards in quid pro quo is the status quo.

In exchange, the unaffordable economic transactions are forged at taxpayers’ expense benefitting the external political and internal specific oligarchs’ interests while leaving the overwhelming majority naked in impoverished conditions much to own embarrassment prompting the New Delhi regime to shield the existence of those population with temporary wall in Ahmedabad, Gujarat earlier in 2020 during the former U.S. President Donald Trump’s visit and recently September 2023 in New Delhi prior to G20 summit.

The supposedly largest democracy only proven major hypocrisy in light of rigged elections, unaccounted financial investments in horse trading involving buying and selling of elected representatives with illegal money in the state and national election in the absence of single party majority to form government nationwide and at the center is the norm.

As for the profile of political members in Indian politics in people’s assembly and the upper house of the Parliament, again alarming members have criminal records ranging from corruption, forgery, embezzlements, rape, murder to treason and relevantly terrorism.

The matter Indian politics asserts as national issue despite being the epitome of terror and horror to many in Kashmir, northern state of Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, North eastern states, Central states and remaining regions of the country.

The current regime – Bharatiya Janata Party, not long ago the western determined dangerous right wing fundamentalist denying travel visa to the incumbent PM Narendra Modi, then Chief Minister of Gujarat for the incontrovertible evidence in the massacre of thousands of innocent women, children, youth and elderly – largely Indian Muslims and fair percentage of Hindus falling victims to Hindutva leaderships heading Gujarat orchestrated communal riots and social unrest in 2002.

The key witnesses and testimony from Indian government employed IPS officer like Sanjiv Bhatt and several others sentenced to life imprisonment on false charges, incarceration and even murder of those daring to speak the truth on then Gujarat government and leaderships’ direct engagement in the gruesome atrocity.

The indelible crimes of Godhra violence in 2002 and subsequent gross human rights violations by then incumbent CM Narendra Modi led to arrest warrant issued in the state of New York.

The arrest was averted with then democrat President Barack Obama executive order for a right wing Hindutva leadership confirming politics’ convergence regardless of political affiliation. The gesture converted the political beneficiary – the alter ego of the empathizer.

To the contrary, the current democrat administration run by former President Barack Obama hardly cease pursuits of the opponent, the former President Donald Trump conveying through state media on the possible arrest of the former Republican President.

Bharatiya Janata Party, the political wing of the radical militant RSS, the ideological organization hijacking Hinduism colluded with colonialists in pre and now post independence India.

Under the current leadership of Narendra Modi, the party and government appointed cabinet ministers are associated with incendiary violent attacks, unleashed abominable human rights violations against any and all segments classified anti-Hindu.

The BJP members and allies instigating unspeakable crimes are fertile grounds for local disturbance through discriminatory central government policy -normalized in nature.

The latest being Manipur – the northeastern state riddled with inter community confrontations between Hindu and Christians resulting in grotesque killings of the latter not barring parading two Christian women of Kurki tribes bare naked in public square with the younger one gang raped by Hindu tribe wiping out her male members of the family in the slaughter.

The Hindu tribe in return facing retributions from those victimized… the BJP central government and state leadership tone deaf to these developments exacerbate pain and anguish on al sides until now.

In other violent episodes, the regular assaults, prejudice, isolation and marginalization of Indian Muslims, the so-called Dalits of Hindu Caste deemed untouchables in the backdrop of moon landing, the unsettled plight of Kashmiris and much more country wide elicit the Indian state of affairs under the current leadership.

The pertinent problem with BJP attracting huge credibility issue on terrorism is the sitting BJP member in the people house of the Parliament viz. the Lok Sabha. The member is none other than the controversial Pragya Thakur, having served jail time on terrorism for her pivotal role in bomb blast near Mumbai in the western state of Maharashtra.

The PM Narendra Modi personally campaigned for the election of the convicted terrorist Pragya Thakur in 2019– last general election not only ignoring then BJP candidate’s terror conviction and imprisonment but also slighted Pragya Thakur inflammatory remark hailing the assassin of the world renowned India’s freedom movement leader Mahatma Gandhi as the hero.

The BJP including PM Narendra Modi in agreement on memorializing the assassin Nathu Ram Godse with a statue in city square further explain the intense fundamentalism rife with acrimony towards peace and secular India.

In contrast, the photo op moments accompanying foreign leaders to late Mahatma Gandhi resting place (samadhi) laying wreath clarify the fake sentiment towards the slain leader aka India’s father of the nation.

The BJP representing RSS, whose member Nathu Ram Godse assassination of Indian leader Mahatma Gandhi, was the initialization process evolving into by far the most violent terrorist organization and political party wreaking havoc in the past and present century.

Indian politics, besides radical BJP, is representative of nepotism, dynasty, celebrity from film industry and sports, industrialists and royal remnants…in the much touted world’s largest phony democracy.

The government leadership at the center and politics craving for 24/7 good or bad publicity never miss opportunity in the wanton quest for prominence for all the wrong reasons to be in limelight.

Indian politics introspection on trajectory sponsoring terrorism on own soil against the minorities, marginalized, disadvantaged, disenfranchised and relevantly journalists, writers, authors, human rights activists and lawyers, environmentalists… persecution and arrests are paramount prior to presiding over elimination of purported terrorism against India by foreign citizens.

India’s enemies are within the political establishment and domestic shores substituting previous brutal foreign authorities. The complicity and complacency abusing power is the monumental betrayal of the nation and ordinary citizens since time immemorial and intensified in the present age.

The nation with commencement of terror in the assassination of the leader Mahatma Gandhi, instrumental in the independence movement is the tell all about the defiantly incorrigible polity.

Accordingly, Indian politics branding anyone else abroad a terrorist is a far cry.

These are serious events that should be raised by people in international domain with their governments and anyone maintaining ties especially the west’s public love-fest with the once western characterized Hindu fundamentalist leadership – Narendra Modi.

These events also shed spotlight on western democracy values, care and concern or the lack thereof for human rights at home and abroad.

Only evil would nurture evil.

History is testament to western demolition of democracy worldwide with the latest in Ukraine in 2014,. The ramifications of which endured by Ukrainians, Russians and the world at large – specifically the United States draining U.S. taxpayer dollars funding the ongoing war in the once peaceful Ukraine.

The western interventions until now stymieing democracy world over delivered extraordinary challenges for the targeted nations leaving them in worst possible conditions than before interference.

The western meddling in backing authoritarian regimes under the guise of democracy submissive to western agenda, invariably prioritizing profit, economic interests and strategic dominance at any costs not barring own citizens and armed forces lives easily dispensed as collateral damage revealing western hostility to real democracy and life in general.

Case in point among many world over –  the  CIA involved violent overthrow of the only democratic leader of Iran Dr. Mohammad Mosaddegh for the premier’s decision to nationalize Iran’s oil resources to benefit Iranian lives, the move rejected by the west in view of huge impediment to Dutch Shell Oil company and British Petroleum etc. 

The outcome – Iran is now under the control of theological hard line rulers banning women’s rights, individual freedom and anything related to democratic principles all of which the western world  apparently sidelined and formalize nuclear status, the key demand of the Iranian theological hierarchy much to their western ally Israel’s contention.

However, the moral on the western immorality of crushing democracy with tinpot dictatorships and authoritarianism is the western sponsored dictators and autocrats have met the inevitable fate on every account either by western authorized public lynching or their own oppressed citizens’ sentencing of the criminal leadership.

They were witnessed in once strong western allies – Iraq’s former President Saddam Hussein and Libyan leader Colonel Muammar Gaddafi, among others far and wide were western partners as long as they were in compliance with the western format and caveat.

The minute they falter or demonstrate change of heart and mind, that was crossing the red line for western deal makers moving ahead with the termination of not only relations, their lives as well in the commonly executed action.

Politics of Opportunism

Politics of Opportunism

Padmini Arhant

The end is upon politics of opportunism capitalizing on anyone and anything positive, productive and peaceful that do not belong to them. The same applicable to wicked crooked strategy to attack opponent (me) using stock from own inventory.

Simultaneously, distancing from everything negative, counterproductive and destructive that squarely has their name written on all of them.

The trend is classic opportunistic politics. The entourage of diverse crony contingency and sycophancy could no longer defend the indefensible trajectory and incumbency.

The real democracy never ban press freedom, decline press meet on own soil or prohibit international press session during major global event like G20 summit.

Neither silence alternative perspectives nor shun voices of dissent in a functional democracy.

Importantly, would focus on getting own house in order prior to seeking international acclaim on matter distinctively lacking integrity and credibility due to abysmal failure to defend domestic sovereign territory.

Politics subscribing to patronization obnoxiousness and above all whose survival hopelessly rely on the charity of those – the people referred to as plumber and various other service industry funding politics’ payroll via taxes is an irony.

Notwithstanding their votes required for legitimacy to flaunt titles along with otherwise defunct political system without ordinary tax dollars financing the government apparatus and agency weaponized against the providers – the taxpayer public at large.

Never forget the monarchy, oligarchy and their loyalists in politics and elsewhere are nothing and nobody without people – the same folks as the members of the work force and largest consumers facilitating oligarchy existence and boom, the type of people sneered and jeered on whom the monarchy and politics exist over generations in the endless parasitic culture.

The scenario is no different with entertainment industry – recruited by politics to wag tail as the propaganda machinery like the media. The audience from the lowest economic strata in particular among others make the zero to hero status in the entertainment sector expending daily wages and meager income.

No kingdom or fiefdom possible in the absence of people in the working class, middle class and any other denomination created for the purpose of dominance by the dependent class exerting authority.

There is a clear distinction between as to who the real rulers are and who are the ones obligatory to serve as the appointees in public service?

Clearly – the republic represented by people across the spectrum including the ones routinely denigrated by ignorant politics marred by hubris, are the actual ruling class hiring the latter for public service.

By the way, what is the political jibe on plumber?

If a plumber does not show up when your pipes and drains are clogged, the situation would turn ugly and messy like your politics.

Hopefully at least that understanding is prevalent in politics habitual of fostering despot tin pot dictatorships for personal and vested interests.

Reminder – as explained earlier in this website – Google search engine is no magical kingdom offering results on anything.

The search engine is the data base collecting and collating data from all over in the digital format conforming to hardware and software algorithms.

More so now with user privacy made obsolete allowing cyber monopolists to track, tag and troll users in the absolute invasion of personal rights at the mercy of monopolists’ discretion.

Not to mention the google CEO ethnic origin is from the domain as the Indian politics citing google search as generic information to evade own accountability.

Identity Politics – get over your trans mania sparing human race of any kind from your exploitative political narcissism.  

Instead come clean on your transmutation with anti-humanity, anti-republic, prejudiced self-serving evil forces running amuck abusing power to the core.

These political doctrines and much more to follow in visual presentation.

Please stand by.

Political Media

Hypocrisy

Padmini Arhant

The state media networks bias and hypocrisy failing to apply the same rule of law on all especially against political hierarchy and members exempting none is the hallmark of sycophancy, the trait denied in the latest media mass deception.

The NBC’s Meet the Press recent interview of the former President Donal J Trump perhaps meant to be titled – meet your opponents’ surrogate in the major media spin zone.

When the interviewer emphasized on the Presidency of the United States is the highest authority elaborating the position as the commander-in-chief and accordingly attributing the issues and problems to the office bearer in that position. 

The status quo apparently not applicable to the other side – the democrat Presidency 2009 – 2016 or for that matter the incumbent democrat administration 2021 until now. 

While branding the health care as Obamacare, proved a windfall for health insurance industry through then administration mandated compulsive health care insurance subscription in return the health insurance industry rewarding political authority behind it at that time in mutual exchange of monetary benefits is the grand deal. 

Contrarily, distancing from debacles in the administration triggered Arab Spring in 2011 leading to Benghazi Gate not as Obama gate is media and politics impulsive flip over.

When healthcare referred to as Obamacare, 

Why not Benghazi Gate mentioned as Obama Gate?

Applying the criteria – the buck stops at the highest office – the Presidency of the United States and the Commander-in-chief at that time.

The public as taxpayer deserve explanation.

Padmini Arhant 

P.S. In yet another note – the desperate domestic political and media together with foreign fanatic regime hatch – the conspicuous untruthful riding on TRUTH bandwagon is on notice similar to cease and desist warning lately received on plagiarism and piracy – evidently the impulsive parasitic nature.

Civility and ethics flouting bear consequences synonymous to ill-conceived actions with ominous outcome.

Update 09/22/2023:

The visual presentation on myriad issues global affairs is the upcoming event, 

Intolerance to free speech – the natural inalienable individual rights in the supernatural force created world, the microcosm of the universe is the definition and description of FASCISM.

The politics silencing alternative views and voices are self-declared autocrat.

Padmini Arhant 

Update 09/20/2023:

How about this?

The mega multi-billionaire tech company with space operations has every wish granted regardless of politics and administrations in power bending over backwards in quid pro quo. The favors involve huge tax credits to buyers of the company’s electric cars with direct profits to the company despite fatalities from defects and operational failures exceeding limit.  

Similarly, multi-billion dollar spacecraft from the same ownership enjoy extraordinary privileges in the to and fro voyage from earth ignoring conspicuous risks and pollution to earth’s atmosphere not regarded a safety or health issue.

The proof of the pudding is in the actual accounts of this particular company facing numerous complaints from homeowners on solar panel installations by this company causing roof leaks and significant damage to property. 

Citing personal experience, upon bringing the problem to the company’s notice, the company declined payment on emergency tarp placement costing few hundred dollars nearly thousand $$$ on the roof to prevent substantial structural damage in the interior and exterior of the home during a stormy weather in California in Dec 2021 – Jan 2022.

The immediate remedial measure tarping the two story roof  saved the company significant costs in addressing the only primary residence property from collapse. None of these homeowner (my) actions neither appreciated nor compensated for given the company’s faulty installation of the solar panels. The outcome admitted in the course of extensive examination and risk assessment by the company recruited crew. 

Above all, it took over four months – precisely six months since incident occurrence for the company to fix the roof leaks from the haphazard installation. 

The reality on anything big and pricey as mighty debunked many times over.

All that glitters are not necessarily GOLD. 

The operation and achievements are dependent on prudence and ingenuity behind it irrespective of the activities and appearance alluding to fancy or cheap characterization.

In fact, for a multi-billionaire dollar company to refuse payment on the tarp and installation service on a stormy winter season typically not owning responsibility for their mistake is cheap and convey the message those with plenty of dough have problem in meeting their obligations.

Furthermore, the referenced tech and automobile company to engage in manufacturing factory settings in Shanghai, China right in the middle of the deadly pandemic in 2020 exemplified the true nature.

The priority slighting loss of human lives world over accompanied by everlasting pain and health crisis for many caused by the lab manufactured virus from Wuhan Virology Institute funded by western partners explain little or no regard for other human lives and rights in the profit driven and political interests dominant environment.

These are the characteristics that delineate propagated genius from the real ones in the world.

———————————————————————————-

The three magic words and gestures in practice.

Bow, Kneel and Pay.

Unless one bow, kneel and grease palm, the isolation and targeted discrimination would never cease. The definition of which is CORRUPTION. 

The day politics confine to governance strictly related to relevant issues of the taxpayers and the local, state and national requirements rather than transforming into police state abusing electoral mandate and taxpayer money as the norm, besides accounting for tax payer money adapting to transparency in a manner expected of the taxpayer on tax collections, that’s when the ballots legitimacy would occur.

The politics obsession with power at any and all costs deploying devious aggressive strategy in return submitted to behind the scenes forces leave public betrayed accompanied by enslavement.

In order to maintain duplicity, the politics’ represented media is engaged in constant regurgitation of narratives from those specifically chosen to dominate the spin zone.

In the process, the omission of widely known and documented crimes and serious contraventions of those whom they represent in their broadcast / podcast is a further infringement on public intelligence.

Politics and media desperate attempts to compel viewers to be captive audience and fall for their biased indefensible shenanigans reeking partisanship reflect political debacle. It’s time for politics not to underestimate public frustration and disappointment in dysfunctional opaque political apparatus. 

The myth about left or right in politics is demystified on numerous occasions on this website exposing the so-called left, liberals, progressives etc., and similarly on the right as the conservative, hardline, moderate and so on…who merge together to represent the incognito conglomerate reining control over world affairs.

The articles on this website detailed the so-called left democrat party unaffordablity in time and interest to probe their predecessor George W. Bush and Dick Cheney administration’s endless transgressions and constitutional breach in their entire excruciating terms in office for United States and the world at large.

The democrat party having won the 2008 Presidential election on these grounds spared the predecessor Bush – Cheney and instead divested in the successor Trump.

Accordingly, the democrat party monicker DINO not to be confused with dinosaur-us, (Democrat in name only) on par with Republican RINO not to be mistaken for rhinoceros (Republican in name only) share commonality in sliding from their respective positions (L ➡️ R or R ➡️ L) in compliance with political solidarity against the republic i.e. the people and the nation at large. 

Among the Republican members, the prominent names in this regard are the former Republican contender in 2012 Mitt Romney’s scripted performance designed as then running mate of then democrat incumbent Barack Obama rather than the former be an effective challenger representing the Republican electorate. The outcome was a major disillusionment for the Republican voters. 

The same would apply to Republican members like Liz Cheney not surprisingly recruited as a committee member by democrat political establishment on impeachment proceedings of their Republican President Donald Trump and Jan 6, 2021 Capitol activity.

Then there are others like Lisa Murkowski (R) Senator from Alaska as well as Susan Collins (R) Senator from Maine..visibly corral with those on the other side of the aisle. 

Politics is a mirage with the illusion of two political parties or many factions in other parts of the world. However, the overwhelming majority submit and surrender as one in unison to the forces bankrolling politics during election – the eventual shadow authority.

Thereafter the investor in politics seize power to reap fortune on political investments leaving the electorate to legitimize status quo via ballots and permanently fund via taxes – the election of the shadow power.

Nonetheless, politics is obligatory to respect and honor electorate concerns and grievances whatever that might be considering the underlining fact – the people are the ones funding governments from local to national level through diverse taxes throughout their life.

Regardless of political party marketing and promotion of incumbency and / or debutantes in high profile positions to suit politics’ agenda rather than meet the national and electorate requirement, the government policies, actions or inactions impact ordinary lives over generations across the spectrum.

The elected government at all levels bear responsibility to acknowledge accountability on all matter.

Unfortunately, the terms responsibility, accountability and transparency are invariably unwelcome in politics exacerbating citizens’ plight in any form of political system.

The electorate are only remembered during election season and the remaining period the government is predominantly run to provide for and satisfy the campaign financiers’ and influential interests’ demands as the norm.

The law and order is enforced on the majority law abiding citizens in society, the targeted political opponents and wherever politics’ could use the police force as the armor to quell peaceful dissent.

While the law enforcement and lawmakers (many brought to spotlight in recent times) exercise unlawful liberty in flouting the laws, rules and regulations they enact on society.

To the contrary, the law enforcement overrun by anarchy witnessed during the pandemic in 2020 with the operatives under the Black Lives Matter banner torched and gutted private and public property in world view.

Again no inquiry or investigations against the Black Lives Matter rioters and their violence, the organizers and participants in particular never faced any charges until now. The damages and destruction caused as a result were not considered relevant by administration assuming power in 2021 that has tasked itself to pursue and punish January 6, 2021 Capitol incident as the priority till date.

Politics and partisanship are synonymous and proved fundamental for polarization in society.

Politics’ advanced and intense invasion of life, rights, home, space, privacy and lately human anatomy as well as lifestyle etc., are very disturbing and intrusive  mimicking that of authoritarian style despotic control over population.

These are not the reasons people pay taxes funding governments on massive payroll with lifelong benefits in return to be violated at every opportunity.

More on this and other issues to follow shortly.

Politics – Citizens’ Money Accountability

Politics

Citizens’ Money Accountability

Padmini Arhant

The governments from city to federal level funded by the people with taxes seldom if not never account for people’s money, the tradition being the epitome of corruption.

The most frustrating factor about politics worldwide is lack of transparency and systemic unaccountability.

Those at the helm in politics getting away with any crimes ranging from corruption to their criminal indulgence not barring treason and human rights violations are the norm.

The reason behind the trend is the people granted power abused against people contrary to electoral mandate eliciting the republic – the true power in society.

Politics run by money from assortments of sources again with no disclosure on campaign funding except falsely claiming to exist on public donations of $5 and above often found misleading is the foundation of corruption.

Inarguably, running for public office having become an expensive extravagant event, only the wealthy get involved to get even wealthier considering politics is the cash cow and treasure trove for those who are in it with economically life changing experience for them and drastically for the people either way.

Accordingly, the once self-declared penniless and poor per own projection of self-image on the campaign trail to win the empathy and trust of the real poor and economically struggling population only to be ditched post election, ride on the populous banner.

They are also known to commonly forget their roots upon assuming power and engage in shame politics rather than addressing the economic plight and social stigma.

Not surprisingly, they never turn back given the meteoric rise in individual and collective financial status.

The fortune cookie standard message for them is – wealth and prosperity guaranteed to members at all costs viz. at taxpayer expense.

The political status quo evading accountability is a universal problem for the electorate and taxpayers at large. As always, the ordinary folks across the spectrum bear the brunt of the issue.

Politics is not amenable to self-reform in character and ethics considering the trading of these values is accompanied by price tag allowing politics’ violation of public trust pledging loyalty to campaign financiers and puppeteers behind candidacy throughout term in office and later.

However, the unsustainable political environment demand remedy and they are as follows.

The public funded governance by the city, county, district to state and federal failure to account for taxpayer money spending is constitutional breach and ethical violation.

The government default make tax collections from the public illegal in addition to null and void the process.

The taxpayers declining to pay taxes in the absence of local and government hierarchy accountability on taxpayer deposits would justify people rights to alleviate corruption.

The government crackdown on those not in alliance with political authorities citing tax evasions are executed to the fullest not excluding imprisonment.

Conversely, the governments from top to bottom not in compliance on presenting facts and figures to the taxpayer balancing the tax collections and fund appropriations grant taxpayer to refuse governments such transgressions.

The taxpayer funded local, state and federal government’s expenditure details made publicly accessible and verifiable in public domain without any financial, physical and social constraints to the people funding the payroll and operations of the system is the fundamental requirement and obligation of the public office.

The Federal Reserve and Pentagon up and until now have evaded accountability with politics’ approval and complicity barring exception of rare political voices in the past.

Nonetheless, the scarce representation made to pay the price with forceful displacement for daring to seek explanation on public money without any digital or paper trail on transactions from the self-empowered monetary and defense authority regarded critical wings within political establishment.

The Federal Reserve and the Pentagon slighting accounting on trillions of dollars with a direct impact on ordinary people proved a grave consequence in the privileged setting.

The government printing money guided by the Federal Reserve monetary policy routinely lead to government having to raise the debt ceiling regardless of administrations in power.

Such situation could arise when fiscal spending exceed government budget combined with monetary policy lacking in effectiveness on the purpose.

Not to mention the government budget reconciliation, the protocol once served in government performance assessment has long been made irrelevant and inconvenient.

The defunct governments with government shut downs as the pattern not yielding expected results increase the burden on ordinary people with negative dividends and enormous liabilities carried over generations in real life.

The government actions in either raising debt ceiling or arbitrarily printing money besides corruption related unaccounted money supply in the economy contribute to persistent inflation in many economies draining the pockets of average income households, the primary regular retail consumers, who are also the axis of the business in any economy.

In the absence of any accountability on financial status involving taxes as revenue and printing money to run the public sector, the ordinary citizens’ from farmers to service providers in diverse industry and entrepreneurs including the entire human work force are eternally kept in the dark with state run media engaged in distraction and censorship intact on truthful information from the isolated independent communication outlet.

Meanwhile, the mandatory tax payments are collected deploying undemocratic and aggressive means to which accounting never correlate revenue and expenses or otherwise unaccounted for in the misuse of public office.

Likewise, the economy’s GDP and per capita income proudly highlighted to boost political image neither correspond nor reflect the economic reality predominantly due to fudged employment data and job growth etc.

It is clear from the governmental stagnant omissions and negligence on factual presentation of economic and financial activities to taxpayers in various formats, the income inequality and economic disparity among overwhelming population remain the fact of life.

The society is reflective of those running the gamut as the authority in control of money and economic matter.

When politics is plagued by corruption, secrecy and combative measures upon called for openness and transparent dealings, the conditions impetus influentials in the economic sector behind politics exploit the permanent opportunity to personal and vested interests.

The unfortunate yet curable disease affect ordinary lives with generational debts and perpetual economic misery.

The imminent solution is for citizens’ anywhere to subject their governments at all levels to account for their money collected via taxes, fees, levies and other sources from wherever with valid clarifications on tax increase, interest rates hikes and manufactured inflation.

The other issue with politics is plutocracy – the government of the rich, for the rich and by the rich and wealthy leaving the rest as perpetual human capital servicing the sovereign debt piled on the public and provide for plutocrats’ enrichment in the form of massive labor as well as consumer force shackled in exorbitant interest ridden debt cycle.

In this regard, the electorate seeking candidacy complete verifiable disclosure on the campaign financing as to who is behind them, the names and details of all the internal, external and special interests as well as de facto partners, alliances and endorsements are paramount to ascertain the actual conglomerate entity reining control over people destiny.

The days and customary practice of being the face of the incognito / shadow power must end with plutocracy bid farewell from the eternal beneficiary position on public (forced into living paycheck to paycheck) funded payroll and lifelong benefits availed in the public office tenure.

Simultaneously, the slaving and slogging among the vast majority of ordinary average citizens is continued through descendants to maintain the exploitative parasitic culture of plutocracy.

Plutocracy is not democracy by any definition or reasonable interpretation of fairness and democratic rights.

Citizens efforts and participation as taxpayers, electorate, labor force and consumers are quintessential in political transformation implementing transparency and accountability on citizens’ money in public spending, economic investments and divestments other than election campaign funding receipts declaration.

United States – 9/11 Anniversary

9/11 Anniversary

Padmini Arhant

September 11, 2001 – the fateful day when the United States – the Superpower in economy, military and nuclear might, the state of the art technology, powerful resources and enviable means at disposal was allowed to be attacked despite prior knowledge, adequate warnings and credible information about the event well ahead of time.

Yet then administration headed by the former President George W. Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney, the CIA, FBI, National Security and the remaining government apparatus let the catastrophe befall on innocent Americans and many foreign nationals together exceeding 3,000 lives lost on the single day in world view.

The event then unfolded politics to set rules shackling democracy, individual rights, civil Liberty and all that proudly proclaimed as United States insignia on freedom. The move unanimously legislated in Patriot Act, establishment of FISA (foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act) initially meant for foreign terror suspects then extended against American citizens as permanent surveillance that had only gotten worse in the present time.

The successor Obama – Biden enacted National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) granting self with extra judicial execution power at the executive branch besides subjecting American civilians arbitrarily under military tribunal rather than civil court system.

The preventable 9/11 terror attack not only chained United States freedom with pervasive impact world over experienced in travel and other lifestyle changes, those awaiting the momentous assault on American sovereignty via 9/11 spearheaded their long aspired agenda – the ominous Project for New American Century (PNAC) to invade hosts of nations overseas beginning with Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Iran, Sudan…on their list.

While the invasion and occupation of all those foreign nations in PNAC were carried out in successions between Bush-Cheney administration followed by Obama-Biden to complete the mission, the bulk of the foreign onslaught under the guise of false Arab Spring became the hallmark for Obama – Biden administration from 2009 – 2016.

Due to Bush – Cheney and Obama – Biden administrations partnership and shared engagement in violent military interventions overseas, the human rights breach with respect to Guantanamo Bay and foreign based prisons such as Iraq’s Abu Ghraib  prison holding terror suspects without due process via abductions and other hostile activities…the predecessor Bush – Cheney era gross violations in every respect emulated and advanced to extreme level under Obama – Biden reign.

Accordingly, all of them are guaranteed and protected with political impunity on treason, corruption, criminality and human rights violation at home and abroad.

The democrat party having seized power in 2008 highlighting Bush – Cheney administration crimes till date could barely afford time or interest to pursue the predecessor Bush – Cheney on any of the monumental atrocities and displacement of democracy.

Meanwhile tirelessly squander tax payer dollars against their predominant common foe – Donald Trump with multiple indictments and mug shot in different angles claiming the political theatrics and showdown as American justice.

Understandably, the partners in crime such as the administrations since 2000 – 2016 resumed in 2020 – until now are unified in keeping American freedom and sovereignty under siege executing anti-democratic plans and policies not barring the cataclysmic pandemic hatched going back in 2002 onwards and the deal sealed in 2015 unleashing the deadly virus on American population and humanity at large exactly at the start of United States Presidential election year in January 2020.

Was it a mere coincidence that the pandemic happened in the Presidential election year 2020?

The democrat political party and leaderships since 2009 – 2016 and 2021 – 2023 extraordinary cooperation and complicity sparing their predecessor Bush –  Cheney administration’s political, constitutional, legal and ethical transgressions from any inquiry or investigations as held against their successor Donald Trump from 2016 till date provide clarity on mutual pact amongst members of political establishment in Washington transcending party affiliation.

In other issues, there are some interesting correlations and contradictions in the events coinciding elections in the so-called democracy and otherwise.

The parallel developments nearing election season with the fate of formidable opponents targeted by the ruling power settled on extending terms in office regardless i.e. within or beyond term limit if not indefinitely are uncanny defining the obvious about who is following whom in dismantling democracy.

The election in Russia is carefully watched and monitored by the United States as it is the case with the rest of the world. The Russian election arouse American political interests from adversarial perspective producing topic of discussion.

The main focus is on the conspicuous anti-democratic practice by the long term Russian leadership President Vladimir Putin alternating roles as President and Prime Minister…vice versa. Nonetheless maintaining absolute control over the Russian Federation.

In general, elections are a mere formality to convince electorate of their voting rights and subsequently the elected and the electorate subjugation is inevitable under campaign bidders and financiers’ greater influence and clout.

The Russian election is witnessed with violence against political opposition emerging from people protests demanding fair and equal opportunity to political opposition and factions to compete against the permanent ruling power especially under President Vladimir Putin.

Russian President Vladimir Putin’s consistent actions against the one and only political rival Alexei Navalny with others largely surrendered to status quo is self-explanatory on Russian democracy denied existence.

The Russian political opponent Alexei Navalny imprisonment and various charges leveled against the political contender, the allegations usually mounting around election time in Russia is in itself attract international attention and concern.

Although, the Russian President Vladimir Putin argue that the political contestant Alexei Navalny is a western appointee to stir political chaos in Russian politics, the Russian leadership’s reaction in handling such situations further generate anti-ruling power sentiments amongst silenced Navalny supporters and moderate thinkers in Russian society and overseas.

The ruling authorities anywhere crackdown on opposition with income tax raids and sometimes even arrests on unsubstantiated charges on their soil squarely describe the democratic conditions or the lack thereof.

Unfortunately, the strategy is the norm in contemporary politics in most parts of the world and prevalent in the so-called democracy as the world’s largest, modern or nascent in nature.

The tradition thus far suggests the ruling power’s preference on no opposition or in the least opposition in name only representing in mere numbers on taxpayers’ funded payroll.

Similarly, the United States touted as the beacon of democracy, the democrat political party and the influencers within the establishment contentious aggressive obsession of their arch nemesis in the form of Donald Trump Presidency right from winning election in 2016 throughout and until the present time with unprecedented congressional hearings, impeachments, indictments pending life imprisonment do not appear to satisfy the vindictiveness in their mind and unresolved acrimony.

As stated above, the similarities in Russian and United States Democratic Party attitude and approach towards strong political contender whether Alexei Navalny in Russia or Donald Trump in the United States are apparent.

The current administration and United States politics criticism of Russian President Vladimir Putin in this context is called out as authoritarianism and dictatorial.

Juxtaposed, the incumbent administration and political party imposed series of judgments and legal quagmire against the leading political front runner in the opposition viz. Donald Trump is justified as protecting democracy and constitution that has long been laid to rest unraveled in the horrendous 9/11 terror on American mainland and recently during the pandemic.

Suffice to say that 9/11 terror catapulted violence, military invasions, terrorism and importantly heralded state terror against citizens in domestic and foreign shores flouting accountability at the cost of millions of lives falling victims to the abominable crime against humanity executed in the abuse of power and electoral mandate.

Anything carried out at the innocents and vulnerable victims’ expense is self-perilous and bear enormous burden on the perpetrators and colluders of such crimes.

Remembrance and gratitude to the brave souls as fire fighters, paramedics, medical professionals as well as thousands of volunteers from civil society for their selfless participation and sacrifice to save lives on 9/11/2001 and the pandemic.

United States – Incumbent Administration Vice President Kamala Harris response to MSNBC media on women’s abortion rights and SCOTUS decision on Roe v. Wade.

“I believe that we should put the protections of Roe v. Wade into law, and the way that will happen is if we have a United States Congress, who regardless of their personal view for themselves or their family, would agree that the women of America should be trusted to make decisions about their life and their body based on what they know to be in their best interest,” she said.

“It’s that simple.”

COVID Vaccine – Somehow the same administration neither granted trustworthiness nor tolerated American citizens’ inalienable individual right to exercise discernment and discretion on the haphazardly expedited COVID vaccine to which some had reservations due to personal or family members’ adverse experience not barring vaccine related death denying disclosure and discussion on the topic in public domain.

The censorship on COVID vaccine associated incidents and issues were imposed even on the experts, medical professionals presenting qualified clinical data and credible testimonials from the victims…all of whom were regarded a threat to the major windfall reaped by those behind the entire pandemic from origin to the extended versions of variants promoting opportunity for booster shots and more without any choice to those with medical and family history conditions creating a dilemma for them.

As usual politics hired surrogates from Hollywood and wherever possible to mock and vilify those American citizens with genuine vaccine related problems as anti-vaccinators even though it was COVID vaccine specific and yet they were scorned and ridiculed as vaccine opponents in general which was a blatant false propaganda.

Regardless, politics and the administration in particular in 2021 and thereafter succumbed to intense coercion and influence from vaccine manufacturers evidenced in the later publicly known deal formalized and sealed back in 2015 between Moderna and NIH funded Dr. Anthony Fauci headed NIAID and the likes of billionaire investor Bill Gates…on the corona virus vaccine mRNA – 1273.

Politics playing politics to suit and maneuver agenda is well known using people as the pawns for political and economic gains with the trend established as irreversible.

Presidency Age: On the age factor concerning the publicly stated 80-year-old incumbent President Joe Biden, the same democrat party and affiliates together with democrat party media collectively objected to then Republican Party Presidential candidacy in 2008, the 71-year-old John McCain running for the highest office.

The Republican Presidential candidate John McCain in 2008 was subject to rigorous medical exam with voluminous extensive medical report demanded and made publicly available.

In comparison, the democrat Presidential candidate Barack Obama had a simple wellness certification from personal physician unlike the Republican Presidential candidate John McCain ordered to be seen and certified by the opponents’ nominated medical opinion.

The prominent bias conveniently ignored the fact about then democrat Presidential candidate Barack Obama’s publicly witnessed and confessed personal habits on cigarette smoking and other substance abuse. Somehow these were not considered a health hazard in the Presidential selection criteria.

More from the horse’s mouth CNN and alike positioned differently in 2023 with respect to President Joe Biden’s re-election bid flipping from that maintained in 2008 against then much younger 71-year-old Republican Presidential candidate John McCain with democrats raising age as a considerable factor at that time.

The Republican Presidential contestant John McCain was 9 years younger then to the current 80-year-old sitting President Joe Biden insisting on re-election making the candidacy – the oldest incumbent in 2024.

Shameful Politics

Shameful Politics

Padmini Arhant

Shame is relative. Lining own coffers and veiling those living in extreme economic conditions with the wall of cloth curtains in proactive pseudo image maintenance is shameful. 

Not doing what is required to alleviate poverty and misery for those and instead engage in their temporary disappearance and erasing their humble dwellings for image upkeep is shame flamboyant. 

Impose draconian rule with curfew and lockdown stymieing daily existence for the struggling to make ends meet in the gala event hosting to boost false pride and seek forgiveness is wickedness ad nauseam besides shameful shenanigans on display.

Plutocracy in politics is the landmine deterring tangible humanitarian progress.

The deceitful and the deceived not gaining consciousness from the coma share responsibility on status quo.

The abject poverty and impoverishment inflicted on vast majority of population due to corruption, criminality, abuse of power and misuse of public money defying transparency and accountability in politics is shameful.

The public as diverse taxpayers funding governance at all levels from the city, municipal, county, district, state to national and federal level are incumbent and obligatory to seek publicly accessible and verifiable spending details from public office bearers as to investment or divestment of their tax money.

Politics mindful of image appearance is a mirage projecting oasis in the barren desert.
