If you do not believe that the United States is an empire, you may want to reconsider that belief. Law firms in Britain (although they use the term “United Kingdom”, it is only because they have occupied and forced Scotland and Wales into their Kingdom that the term is used. Since the people of Scotland want their soverignty returned, along with Wales, I use the term Britain, since it is technically a dis-United Kingdom) have issued warning of the impact of the empire’s crack down on offshore accounts. It seems that in the Imperial Senate’s efforts to claim all of the money earned by it’s subjects they will begin attacking the policies of other sovereign nations to obtain that property. This is not just a threat to the South and Southron culture, this is a threat to nations around th eglobe. Although the empire’s history books say Dred Scott is dead, the Imperial Senate is chasing down property/chattel around the world that they believe belongs to them. In the Dred Scott case, since a slave began his servitude in the South, he remained a slave even when he went into a free state. In a similar vein, since one was a subject of th empire, they belong to the empire, even when they are in the free state of another soverign jurisdiction. It does not matter that it is not in the empire’s jurisdiction, or thatth funds were not earned in the empire. If a subject made the money, the imperial Senate wants to claim it. Imperial Senator Carl Levin went so far as to use the term “economic warfare” in describing the situation. Although the law allows subjects to renounce their citizenship, they are not allowed to renounce the empire’s claims on their funds.

To me, when it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, its a duck. When a government acts like an empire reaching into areas that are outside of its soverignty, and treats its subjects like chattel, it has become an empire.

FYI-Would it surprise anyone to find out that Carl Levin, who is leading this world-wide economic war is a Yankee from Michigan?  The Yankee hubris of viewing the south as inferior and seeing their position as inferior continues through another generation.
