Paisa by paisa, rupee by rupee, Narendra Modi is cleverly extracting blood out of the pockets of Indians [RAWDUMP]

"Master Stroke by Modi ji. By increasing Fuel prices every day, We have successfully fooled the Nation. Look no body is questioning us on daily Fuel prices." [link 1] [link 2]

"Luxury cars and SUVs may become more expensive with the Union Cabinet approving an ordinance to raise the maximum compensation cess that can be levied over and above the 28% GST on such cars, from 15 % to 25%." [link 1]

What's the whole point of GST if you're not going to let prices of anything come down. You're only trying to protect and grow your tax collections, which you corrupt people squander and embezzle.

*****

"The Goods and Services Tax Council has decided to increase the effective tax (rate and cess) on certain categories of automobiles to ensure the tax burden on them is similar to that imposed prior to the implementation of GST.

In a media conference held after the GST Council met in Hyderabad on Saturday, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said this was in an effort to maintain “equivalence”." [link]

Again, what's the whole point of GST if you're not going to let prices of anything come down? You hide accountability by hiding these wicked changes under the "GST Council" banner.

"Fuel prices rise, govt rules out tax rollback" [link]

"The price break-up for every litre of petrol in Delhi shows that state-run companies charge dealers Rs 30.70. The remaining is in excise duty, dealers' commission and state VAT which takes the price to Rs 70.38." [link]

"India's crude oil basket was at $53 per barrel on September 13, compared to $46 a barrel on June 16. The fall in crude oil prices since 2014 has been offset by an increase in taxes, particularly the central excise duty that was raised 9 times between November 2014 and January 2016. The corresponding tax mop up went from Rs 99,000 crore in 2014-15 to Rs 2,42,000 crore in 2016-17. Additionally, VAT, a component levied by state governments, has been increased in some regions." [link]

"The table below shows that while the retail price of diesel was Rs 57.28 per litre in Delhi on June 2, 2014 – when the international oil price was $106.88 per barrel – it has now reached a very similar price of Rs 58.72 per litre even though international oil prices are at $53.06 per barrel." [link]

"With international crude oil prices falling sharply from the annual average of $105 per barrel in 2013-14 to $46 per barrel in 2015-16 and 2016-17, the Modi government has hiked excise duties on petrol and diesel over nine times in order to encash a windfall. Rather than passing on the benefits of low oil prices to the consumers, the Centre has utilised the petroleum sector for additional revenue mobilisation, which can be seen from Table 2 below."

This government of Narendra Modi is conducting daylight loot of Indian people.

Organization for Opposition to and Demolition of American Hegemony - OODAH [COMPACTIDEA]

Countries that are steadfastly opposed to American barbarism and tyranny need to form an organization. China, Russia, Iran, Syria, Venezuela, North Korea, maybe Belarus, maybe Egypt, maybe Serbia, maybe Algeria, and others. Once such an organization is established, more countries will join - from Africa, South America, Asia and maybe Europe too. The group needs to formulate tactical and strategic methods that will reduce and ultimately end America's global tyranny, from civilian murders, torture, assassinations and endless sanctions to cruel wars, overthrow of governments and theft of oil and minerals. Launch banks that are outside the control of America. Reduce the usage and importance of the US dollar. Prefer and promote non-American products. Reduce tourism to America and shift it elsewhere. Halt brain-drain to America. And so on. Steps need to be taken on an urgent basis under the umbrella of an international organization - OODAH.

Update: It's a shame that I can't easily add Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya to the list of countries which would surely join OODAH. America has cruelly destroyed these three nations, but it has also installed puppets, thus suppressing any public expression of outrage - towards America - from these countries. Such a sad and sorry state.

America openly arms terrorist groups and nations against Russia, so it's okay for Russia to arm anti-US nations [COMPACTIDEA]

US covertly and overtly supplies heavy weaponry to countries and terrorist groups in dozens of countries around the world, either to topple governments or to fight/destabilize Russia, or both. So it's alright for Russia to arm those nations that are against America - Iran, China, North Korea, Syria, Latin American countries like Venezuela, etc. So if Russia has indeed supplied advanced missile engines to North Korea, enabling the latter to reach mainland US, then this is totally alright and justified considering past and continuing US actions.

When it's Hong Kong, Turkey, or Mexico, Outlook.com wants to confirm your identity, but not for Canada - racism and xenophobia are in the blood of Americans [COMPACTIDEA]

Turn on Kaspersky Secure Connection VPN, and the first time you try to auto-sync your Outlook.com accounts [configured in Mozilla Thunderbird] from IP addresses of Mexico, HK or Turkey, Microsoft stops the auto-sync and sends you error messages and asks for further authentication [click on "This was me."]. But when the VPN shows you as coming from Canada, no questions are asked. No further authentication needed. Canada is of course "good". Nothing wrong happening here. Mexico, Turkey, Hong Kong, etc., are alien worlds full of bad guys, hackers, tricksters, fraudsters, and so the login attempt is potentially unsafe. But Canada? The shining beacon of "free" Western world. No hacks. No fraud. Must be all good. So let it pass through smoothly. What a load of racist and xenophobic rubbish in the blood of folks at Microsoft and more broadly America.

To make Russia's future secure, Russian women must start producing more babies

Enough of bullshitting from Western sheep that Russia's economy is smaller than California's or Spain's, that Russia is only a "regional power" which likes to believe that it's a superpower, that Russia doesn't produce anything that anyone wants, and so on. Nonsense. Bullshit. Coming from idiots in the West who just want to remain inside their self-created fantasy that Russia doesn't matter on the global stage. Now, Russia has all the land and natural resources it could ask for. Its women now need to get to work to produce more children - many more actually. More Russians will mean more people who can work, and these extra Russians can set up factories and other businesses in the eastern parts of Russia, which are currently very sparsely populated. More Russians will also mean more scientists, researchers, soldiers, pilots, cosmonauts, engineers, doctors, and so on. More products, more services, more inventions/innovations, more patents, more breakthroughs, more security and more prosperity. Only this way will Russia survive and thrive well into the future, and continue to challenge barbaric regimes such as America, thus ensuring that the globe doesn't get conquered by a single empire.
