Of all the empires that rose in the past the US rose the least (based on real internal value) and was by far the worst managed and shortest lived.

PS: How exactly did the US defend its freedoms by nuking Hiroshima and Nagasaki? The Japanese were ready to surrender on the condition that the emperor system would not be abolished. Guess what, they STILL have the emperor system today! But no, the US had to kill lots of innocent civilians first to “shorten the war”. Likewise, the carpet bombing of German (by UK) and Japanese (by US) cities — in blatant violation of the Hague convention — did nothing to shorten the war, but a lot to strengthen people’s willingness to support the war on their side.

Paul,

Don’t get me wrong — I’m a big fan of freedom and the US constitution and all the rest of it.

But how exactly did America defend its freedoms in WWI? America was not attacked. This was a purely European affair, and President Wilson (who won with the slogan “He kept us out of war” in 1916) forcefully steered the US into it to build it into a world power. This had nothing to do with protecting America’s freedoms. The German government actually tried to warn Americans not to board the Lusitania, but those ads were pulled from American newspapers by the US government (except one in St. Louis MO, that’s how we know about it). The sinking of the Lusitania was as intentional an event on the part of the US government as there was ever one. The truth is that John Piedmont Morgan had made enormous loans to the British but not to the Germans.

Read Bill’s book “Empire of Debt”. It was a great eyeopener to me.

But ‘escaping’ the US – the land of the free – is much more difficult.

Not to the underground cash economy. Which is where we will migrate to in due time.

Bill,

Great article. I agree with most of your points. America is descending at a very quick rate. YOur points, and comments, put an exclamation point on all of what is happening. The US will never be the same again. We the people, can fight back, but those who built this country and protected it’s freedoms (WWI and II) are now too old to make a difference. They do not subscribe to cellphones or the internet (for the most part). In a nutshell, I hear and feel your complaining/observations. You sound like a short selling schmuck though. People already know this crap.

> EVEN WHEN THEY ARE NOT TAX RESIDENTS OF THEIR COUNTRY OF CITIZENSHIP.

I suppose I should rephrase this: even when they move away from the US, which would in other legislations make them a tax non-resident (but not in the US).

I’m not a lawyer and may be getting the legal terminology wrong, but I think you get the point.
