Time, you arrive in abundance at birth, only to merge with reality of living till your presence evades us. Humans learn to discern you, in different frames, at times we wait for you to make your mark and cross the speed of light and as you lapse, we hope you merge with static reality forever. It’s rare for us to let you Be. Time, we always seek to define you for which we adorn you on our wrist as though we can have power over you by knowing your pace. To define you we carve our story of life on you, seek ways to make our life definite and impenetrable by chaos or life itself, and that create success stories for others to emulate. We forget the beauty of time is in its flexibility for subjective interpretations, with no success or failure only the willingness to learn the art of living, while just being. Time, we travel with you on our first breath, we associate with you even before we grasp your presence. We need you to define us, but you evade our grasp, leaving behind the goals w...

Since no one is willing to bell the cat, I am doing it. International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and its representatives are not being governed by truth but rather by what is palatable to the United States and Israel. IAEA has been after Iran not directly, but mentioning grey areas of concerns and how  Uranium enrichment from 60 percent to nuclear arms grade product can be done in short time. All concerns seem legitimate on surface, but let’s look at the layered reality that make up the surface. Countries that have nuclear War Heads and their reality Other than the originator of a nuclear weapon in 1945, the United States; eight other countries acquired the technology and went ahead and weaponised the same as part of their national security approach. These countries are Russia (1949), UK (1952), France (1960), China (1964), India (1974), Pakistan (1998), North Korea (2006) and Israel (1967). Not a single country declared to the IAEA in advance their plans to enrich Uranium, it...

The definition of a terrorist often takes on shades of those groups to which the term is applied and this ensures there in no complete consensus as to Who is a terrorist? But there is clarity on certain aspects, the rationale for the terror act, methods used and power structure enjoyed by the terrorist group. Till recently designation “terrorist group” was generally given to groups functioning outside existing systems of governance and using excessive lethal force viable for them or using threat of the same to achieve their goals.   It largely tended to be groups from countries outside the West, for they felt throttled by the existing mechanism of governance, be it unanswered questions for right to homeland, or being second class citizens in their own land or being denied the basic access such as right to land or hunger free existence. Now, this has changed, thanks to President Trump as the most brutal terror acts on defenceless fishermen out at sea or even on international water...

    While Israelis believe a higher world authority has given them the right to be above international law, the US President and US administration along with its legal expertise believe that the world is governed by US domestic law and international law is for the other less privileged nations on the planet. This     can be the only reason for the continued assertion of US domestic law or US interpretation of international law when it comes to war crimes of terror acts committed by the current US President and his administration. The sense of impunity enjoyed by the US was evident during genocide carried out on Palestine, when the US’s ally Israel was held accountable, the US sanctioned the people who held up the standards of international law, as a direct retaliation with the US President called for sanctions against   individuals working in  ICC, ICJ and UN. This sense of privilege a feeling that the US law is above international law and the fact that U...

  The President of US, Trump, has declared often that he lives by his understanding of values and morality and not as per domestic and international. Which is fine as an individual, but is it fine for a President of a country, that has to be decided by the Americans, the US Congress and that still makes it a domestic matter. But, when the President of US threatens other countries and thinks he has the freedom to break international law to do so; then it is a matter to be decided upon by the international communities and other UN member states or other countries. Then the question to be answered, Isn’t the US President accountable for using force or threatening to use force to make Iran to adhere to US terms and recommendation against Iran’s will and sovereign rights. Mr. President, here below are instance of you declaring and communicating your threats, based on willingness to use force along with clear examples of you willing to fall through with your plans, be it bombing school...

  The reality of Western Hemisphere and its regional governance are a clear example of fact that the US makes a mockery of nations sovereignty and how it can set wedges and thereby ensure isolation of   countries within a region and at the same time keep an American stranglehold over the region. While the US is solely responsible for the mess it created in the Western Hemisphere, here in the Middle East it is trying to take on the same role, except it has Israel as the go between. Be careful, Iran and Lebanon, never trust any document given by the US read between the lines! I may be naïve on international matters, but can read between the lines. The United States is taking the whole world for a ride, it is not seeking peace it is seeking total control over the region, it is using so called “Israel’s Security” and the US own disguised claims of national security.   It is strange, even after having become the greatest military power the US has no shame in blindsiding ot...
