State Terror

When politics is in endless warfare under the pretext of self-defense, the obvious being war is a convenient shield for such politics evading accountability on long hovering corruption scandal involving own and the next of kin, conveniently dispatched far away to the safest haven – the monetary, military and technology benefactor USA.

Meanwhile touting patriotism on own behalf at home have no problems drafting the other citizens’ young sons and daughters sent harms’ way in the permanent war zone.

Never mind the killings of several thousands of children, infants and their families…all of whom branded terrorists in blanket conviction.

The callousness not even barring denial of food, water, medicine or ambulance services exacerbating their abhorrent conditions over ten months in extension of nearly 75 years of apartheid and colonization tyranny against Gazans and entire Palestinians till date.

In the midst of prolonging the Genocide of innocent people in Gaza, the aggressor Israel and major ally USA Biden – Harris administration have left own hostages, the premise behind justifying Genocide, the casualties under own barrage of bombing and shelling stalling and stone walling long proposed permanent ceasefire that could have brought hostages home and spared the innocent lives in Gaza.

Politics under Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to save own skin on corruption leads the state of Israel into hostility inflicting death and carnage carried out against children and infants as well as their families in Gaza.

Simultaneously, hold own citizens at home hostage unheeding their call in weekly protests on permanent ceasefire for the safe return of those held hostage, who were largely killed from the air raids and heavy artillery firing provided and funded by Joe Biden and Kamala Harris administration run by Barack Obama with pride.

In the United States, when the re-election to second term was abysmal in 2012, the incumbent Barack Obama Presidency then in 2012 engaged in hoax operation in Abbottabad in Pakistan claiming to have assassinated long deceased Osama Bin Laden.

Subsequently within three months of that false event went ahead and eliminated the entire NAVY SEAL recruited in that operation to prevent the facts exposure.

The Abbottabad operation NAVY SEAL team families were denied any rights to open independent investigation behind State terror.

The similar show was exhibited by the New Delhi incumbency during 2019 re-election bid adapting same strategy to mitigate personal doom prospects.

The State terror was full blown in this instance. The State manufactured terror launched attacks on own young citizens serving as the national guards around 40 or more defense personnel were targeted and murdered on own turf in Kashmir.

The gruesome attack then paved way for pseudo political gimmick close to national election weeks away under the guise of retaliation in foreign shore viz. Pakistan. It was phrased the controversial Pulwama attack.

In that same 2019 national election in New Delhi, India, the defense force personnel having served twenty four years or more in the most treacherous conditions of the Himalayan terrain as the border security force member upon becoming a whistle blower on the ongoing internal corruption in depriving decent meals for the members of the defense force guarding the nation and citizens, the politics in particular,

The national defense force personnel Tej Bahadur was bullied, harassed by New Delhi national government and political media leading to his only son committing suicide from the relentless State terror.

When former serviceman Tej Bahadur ran in national election as the formidable challenger against the incumbent embattled Indian Prime Minister, the state machinery pulled together the unscrupulous nefarious tactics and debarred the contender Tej Bahadur citing clerical error in the filing of his election nomination paper that was previously approved and found to be in order for the candidacy to run in national election.

All of the above mentioned State terror in Israel, United States, India…the so-called democracies were carried out in exclusive personal and political interests such as evading haunting corruption scandal and political demise.

The hunger for power is unfortunately ravenous amongst the inept in governance and adept in dishonesty, lies and deceit amid ad nauseam cronyism pulling any shenanigans to unlawfully extend term in office costing taxpayer treasure and blood as witnessed and experienced time and time again.

All the more reason to transfer power back to where it originally belongs and funded as taxpayers, members of workforce in the economy, servicemen and women in uniform as national defense force and several others contributing to the nation and society at large.

Unlike those seizing power and indefinitely fleecing on the republic in exploitative abusive even violent politics.

————————————————————————

Given the trend in politics run and represented by multi-millionaire and billionaire league at ordinary taxpayer expense, typically robbing the middle class and lower income in overnight self-enrichment by those in politics especially the ones seeking position at the highest office and those in diverse public office. 

The drained taxpayers whose tax dollars are misappropriated at political discretion participating in a referendum is paramount.

The taxpayer explicit consent or dissent in the federal and state tax return specifying their tax dollar spending by politics is the only way forward to curtail the otherwise precipitous decline in all affairs with taxpayers denied any rights or access to this uncontrolled political and economic misrepresentation.

The taxpayer denial of their tax money for politics’ extravagant benefits, privileges and free facilities paid for by ordinary taxpayers in direct contradiction to the lives of those they are supposed to serve during and post public service is equally relevant in taxpayer appropriation of their tax payments.

In allowing all those concerned taxpayers to specify in tax return on where and how their tax dollars are to be invested with access for verification on compliance by politics from municipal to national level is critical from now on to eliminate politics’ abuse of taxpayer dollars with no accountability.

The individual taxpayer as the contributor to the economy, public services including the government in entirety having the ability to exercise the right to designate own tax dollars in appropriate investment with due returns – the return on investment (ROI) back to the taxpayer via credits towards healthcare, college education, retirement savings, home ownership, automobile purchase etc., wherever applicable for taxpayer is important to claim investment in taxpayer’s life and their desirable cause like protecting environment to public safety and other allocations.

In other words, the taxpayer reserving the right to investment of their tax dollars in their life and areas of their relevant interest is imperative to direct own funding in personal growth.

The diversion would mitigate and stifle politics’ unauthorized expenditure and political socialism within and around in generous distribution to allies for war and destabilization of democracy in foreign land creating refugee and myriad humanitarian crises eventually landing at the origin’s national border.

Unlike the norm in the phenomenal quick rich scheme – the meteoric rise in fortune of those in politics from penniless to super rich status within short span of their political career and their partners in quid pro quo – all at the economic misery and expense of the ordinary taxpayer is the political culture.

The long-held tradition to collect taxes in most instances applying harsh underhanded tactics threatening taxpayers on tax payments with undemocratic practices such as exorbitant penalty to imprisonment while politics evade transparency and accountability on taxpayer money spending leading to masquerading massive corruption, misuse of taxpayer money and other shady dealings with anyone…proven catastrophic for ordinary lives transformed into mere subjects in a manner like in a feudal system.

Politics using ordinary taxpayers – the middle class and lower income groups in particular could no longer be asserted considering they neither have the luxury on tax evasion like the super wealthy forging strong ties with politics on either side of the aisle as major investors and bidders in political campaigns nor qualify for tax exemptions as the below average income groups in the economic strata.

Accordingly, the middle class and the lower income are caught in the dragnet as permanent funders for politics and misused as ATM machines for self-enrichment to indulgence in arbitrary wasteful spending including war mongering, the defunding in the areas of law enforcement to run a muck witnessed in Black Lives Matter (BLM) riots nationwide and other unruly activities are to be brought to an end paving way for the republic governance and effective economic management.

Those concerned about the direction their life is heading due to lack of control over own life matter from health to finances and personal choices guided by ethics, morals and civility, family values, religious orientation, cultural heritage…are overrun and increasingly overwhelmed by government imposition of political ideology and will, societal behavior in the name of Wokism, the neo-liberalism gone wild aimed at deliberate distortion and subversion of the real progressiveness in all areas of living standards…these members as taxpayers in society stepping forward to claim the right to determine own present and future with personal hard earned life savings, assets and income from livelihood now authoritatively undermined and depleted by politics own personal and political agenda.

The political trajectory proven against individual taxpayers’ and their family well being deserving progress from their life long hard labor and not diminished to serve the exploitative politics. 

The ordinary taxpayers toiling day and night serving as the backbone of the economy and politics in funding the government have no say on their fate. They are left at the mercy of compulsive abusive elements and forces in the front and behind the operation.

The taxpayer appropriation of tax dollars in own life and nominated areas in public services rather than government preferences and misuse of public funds with political immunity is the ultimate solution to end ordinary hard working population struggles and strife.

The parasitic existence of those on others is toxic and not sustainable in the immediate or long term. 

Take your life back to live the life in accordance with your investment in time, labor and productivity for peaceful and prosperous living lasting lifetime without government interventions of any nature.
