Hi<br>I just got up and found out the war hasn't started yet :-) just the regular noise from the garbage truck.<br><br>Banned, <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>so you a lawyer</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> too ? how many are there on this board ? <br><br>Oh, I did meet at least one american guy, who had to seek assylum outside the USA, I think he went to NZ, and if he does not lay low he will meet the guys from the government. He wrote a book about some "stuff" concerning US involvement in Indonesia, worked for an NGO in San Francisco but felt unsafe. Of cousre, unlike the ISraelis, CIA will not bother with exiled Americans, which I think is still a sign your country is not as fascist as described on this board. I also met the American defector from the army who two years ago applied for assylum in Toronto, was refused by still runs a campaign and will be granted status for sure. He said that surely, the difference between him and any ISraeli in similar conditions is that nobody from the US government will be bothered with him personally, they will pull strings with the politicians to prevent a favorable ruling (for diplomatic reasons) but he does not for one minute feel personally under any sort of danger. <br>So, the general rule for American dissidents is that they are free to act even in the USA, without expecting personal attacks. But I am sure those who touched deepers issues, OR people who in the first place were harrassed by CIA or were MC victims etc., are not safer outsider the USA than inside. <br>There was this guy who said awful things abuot Bush, can't rememebr the name, fled to Britain and had a gory ending, there. <br>Banned, its not only that borders don't open easily for refugees on political grounds, its that if you happen to be bringing trouble with you, like the CIA after you, nobody wants to take the risk, even if publicly they rant all day about the bloody administration. Talk is talk, and bullshit walks..you know that. I have seen it with my very eyes. WHich is another weakness of the opposition to the BUsh people (and mossad and what not). If one is just barking but afraid, they know it.<br>Canada will not close borders to Americans but it might be soon that their place ain't gonna be a whole lot different for dissidents. Right now you can still get support there, but it is getting harder I think, cause the market is gradually being taken over by same corporations. See, the MAher Arar fiasco.<br><br>that said I am going to get ready for the wilderness...<br><br>HH, there is hardly a wilderness here, if you moved out to the countryside, the creditors will find you before the H-bomb...:-), its really very small here, centralized and everyone knows where everyone is, especially if you move with kids (like me). If the situation came and we had to dig food from the earth, I suppose I'll deal with it then. Its not so hard here, considering the weather is OK (no winter and a bit too hot in the summer but manageable without A/C).<br>The last year, of "no feathers left" was a good survival camp for me, in that respect. First time in my life, NO MONEY, NO A/C, NO CAR. I just realized how dependent we are on cars for instance. I had my own car since i was 19 years old. Suddenly, all you can do is WALK or take an awful bus, which makes walking seem nice. It was, during July and August now, 120' outside, humidity 90%. This is FEELING third world. FEELING what the government can do to you, without ever being charged, just oppression. and they don't even have to make a lot of effort to get you this low. At least not here, there is just a "word" out there, and nobody will hire you. kind of blacklist without an official paper. that's what governments in small places have, that the US government will never have. totall control.<br><br><br> <p></p><i></i>
