In a society where plunder becomes the norm for a select group of individuals, they inevitably construct a legal system that legitimizes their actions and a moral code that glorifies their deeds. These words of wisdom, spoken by the French economist Frédéric Bastiat, have never rung truer than they do today.
Distraction in the Face of Reality
Amidst the chaotic political theater emanating from Washington DC, it's essential to remain unperturbed by the theatrics of tone-deaf politicians who remain oblivious to the struggles of the everyday citizen.
Don't allow yourself to be sidetracked by the barrage of headlines chronicling the antics of the ruling elite. Despite their grand displays of power, their actions lack substance, serving as mere distractions.
Tune out the cacophonous noise of empty chatter meant to drown out the very real threat posed by a government obsessed with extracting every last penny from its citizens.
Instead, focus on the steady encroachment of the police state at the national, state, and local levels, as well as the erosion of fundamental freedoms sacrificed in its relentless pursuit of authority.
The Overt Signs of Despotism
While the blatant signs of despotism are all around us — warrantless surveillance, SWAT raids, police shootings, draconian school policies, domestic drones, unbridled spending, militarization of law enforcement, invasive searches, and privatized prisons — they often escape the attention of politicians, corporations, and the media.
The blackout of real news raises the question: Why?
The answer lies in the pursuit of profit. To understand the motives behind government programs, follow the money trail.
Dig deeper, and you'll discover that those benefiting from the surveillance, fines, searches, and arrests of Americans are none other than the entities responsible for enforcing these measures: the police, the courts, the prisons, and the corporations supplying the tools.
Profits Over People: An Alarming Trend
Americans are consistently swindled, cheated, conned, robbed, raided, and exploited by the symbiotic relationship between the government and corporate stakeholders in the American police state, all in pursuit of profit at the taxpayer's expense.
Consider these examples:
1. Roadway Exploitation: Police departments increasingly rely on asset forfeiture and speed/red light camera schemes to pad their budgets, profiting at the expense of unsuspecting drivers. Legislators are even considering a vehicle miles traveled tax.
2. Prison Quotas: States contract to keep their prisons at maximum capacity, giving rise to a $70 billion private prison industry dependent on keeping prisons full.
3. Surveillance State in Schools: Schools have adopted pervasive surveillance technologies to monitor students, mirroring the police state's tactics.
4. Endless Wars: The military-industrial complex's insatiable appetite for war erodes communities, budgets, and police forces.
5. Militarized Police: The Department of Homeland Security funds local police with military equipment, leading to an overuse of SWAT teams, police militarization, and a combative mindset.
6. Asset Forfeiture: Government agents seize citizens' property without proof of wrongdoing, profiting from the spoils, including sports tickets and luxury cars.
7. Surveillance Industrial Complex: The government's omnipresent surveillance, with corporate complicity, creates an unaccountable Surveillance State.
8. Government Power Grab: Crisis after crisis is exploited to expand government power, such as COVID-19 measures infringing on civil liberties.
The People as Pawns
This unholy alliance between government authoritarianism and corporate profits allows the state to intrude further into private lives while introducing a profit motive into the equation. We, the taxpayers and voters, are left footing the bill for this exploitation, while politicians promise us the world but deliver only to the privileged few.
This is far from the ideal of a representative government. Instead, we've become subjects of a militarized corporate empire where the majority toil for the benefit of a select few.
And as our tax dollars finance militarized police, surveillance, private prisons, and intrusive technologies, the yoke around the average American's neck grows ever tighter.
All the injustices, abuses, and government excesses you hear about daily? That's your hard-earned money at work. It's your dollars allowing government agents to surveil your every move, police to violate your rights, and officials to prosecute you for minor offenses.
It's high time to recognize this ongoing swindle and demand accountability from those entrusted with power. Only then can we hope to restore the principles of freedom and justice that this nation was founded upon.
