Canada Warns Its Citizens Not To Take Cash To The USA
Submitted by Martin Armstrong via Armstrong Economics,
The Canadian government has had to warn its citizens not to carry cash to the USA because the USA does not presume innocence but guilt when it comes to money. Over $2.5 billion has been confiscated from Canadians traveling to the USA, funding the police who grab it.
If you are bringing cash to the land of the free, you will find that that saying really means they are FREE to seize all your money under the pretense you are engaged in drugs with no evidence or other charges.
It costs more money in legal fees to try to get it back so it is a boom business for unethical lawyers to such an extent than only one in sixth people ever try to get their money back and the cops just pocket it. That’s right. Money confiscated is usually allowed to be kept by the department who confiscated it.
This is strangely working its way into funding police and pensions.
This is identical to the very issue that resulted in the final collapse of Rome when the armies began to sack cities to pay for their pensions. We are at that level now with respect to seizing whatever they want knowing you will have to spend more in legal fees to assert your rights that do not really exist.
Those trying to flee tyranny elsewhere can not bring money with them for the police get to take it on this end.
This pretend war on terrorism is really a wholesale war against the people. It serves as the justification to seize whatever they desire ever since 9/11 as reported by the Washington Post.

lol...I stand almost corrected.
Just kidding, I'm not a spelling/grammar nazis ;-)
I'M A CANUCK AND THE GUYS I KLNOW IN BUSINESS CARRY LOTS OF CASH, AS I DO. ALL VENDORS, ESPECIALLY RESTAURANTS, APPRECIATE THE CASH AND THEY SAVE THE USURIOUS FEES CHARGED BY THE PLASTIC BANKSTERS
I TRAVEL ALOT IN EUROPE AND NO ONE WHO TRAVELS ALOT EVER USE AMERICAN TRAVELLER'S CHEQUE. NO ONE WANTS THEM AND YOU CAN LOSE OVER 20% OF THE VALUE. IF YOU DON'T WANT TO CARRY CASH YOU ARE BETTER SUING AN ATM MACHINE TO GET YOUR CASH OUT AND USE AS NEEDED. THE FEES BY THE ATM/CURRENCY CHARGE IS NEGLIGBLE COMPARED TO THE DISCOUNT OF AMERICAN TRAVELLER'S CHEQUES.
WTF is an 'honest' traveler?
I live 60 miles from the CA border and I haven't heard about this story.
We get LOTS of Canadians here to shop and gamble(at places I work).
And I would hear about it from the gamblers who always bring "cash".
So whazzzzz up?
Some stupid policeman take all your cash - do you want to trip in further in this country or you go back?
I'll tell you what's up. Martin Armstrong is full of shit! This article is garbage and not true. Ravings of a crazy man.
Troll much? Prove him wrong asshat. It is common knowledge here in Florida that anyting over $5,000 is fair game. I was concern myself just about carrying slightly over this amount to buy a used car.
Thats pretty rich centerline. Read the article. He said Canada has has issued a warning but I cant find it.
Provide some proof on that please.
Here's an article in the CBC about it. It's not crossing over the border that's the problem, it's getting stopped by some Fascist cop along the highway. Same warning should be issued to Americans. Welcome to the US Fascist police state.
http://www.cbc.ca/m/news/world/american-shakedown-police-won-t-charge-yo...
Toronto has it's fair share of fascist cops. There was a G8 or G20 or some NWO-NGO meeting in TO a few years ago. The city cops beat the hell out of pretty calm and quiet protestors.
Toronto cops are the most overpaid, corrupt POS in Canada.
Was just being a weenie last night! lol.
Yeah - the literal side of it I am not familiar with. The fact this is happening I am very aware of. Let's just say that aside from articles that are available all over the place that I also have inside information about cash grabbing practices in Florida.
Yup,
Recently wanted to move $20,000 out of the bank (excess working capital in a business account) and into more steel, lead and "barbaric relic," as my local "barbaric relic" dealer had made a large purchase and I wanted to grab some. I planned it out as if I as lived in East Germany or something.
First, I had a friend draft up fake bill of sales and other docs for vans from his lot for around the amount I was withdrawing. I then coupled that with a folder full of random and messy documents and a happy cover story of buying some vehicles for new hires to use. This mess I then showed the teller at the bank as cover for why I needed to withdraw my own money. I also hoped to prevent her from turning me in to the Feds in addition to the large cash withdraw reporting form she will provide them. I had to do this twice, as the first branch manger asked if I would be so kind as to get half from another branch, as the full $20,000 would hamper her operations.
I then had an employee idling outside pick me up and drive me to my car elsewhere while I looked for gun and badge thugs that the teller or manager may have alerted--some tellers and pharmacy clerks are paid rewards to be informants.
At the second branch there was a gun and badge thug's car idling across the parking lot when I came out and jumped into my employee's idling car at the door. Probably a coincidence, though I had never seen one there before. What would have happened if weren't a coincidence and I had gone strolling out to my car instead of being picked up at the door...
Such is life in "the land of the free, and the home of the brave."
An American, not US subject.
P.S. My "garden" got bigger a few nights later. : - )
This article IS true, but it's old news. The policy has been in place since Reagan's term. Part of "Zero Tolerance".
Yeah, drug money, undeclared.
Exactly my fucking point. (see above)
If I may be so bold as to speak for Americans, I think OUR point is, you OR us shouldn't have to declare money, its your cash and none of their business. Everyone is being treated like criminals by "declaring" how much cash they have, its legal tender so fuck them.
As a point, no one has to "declare" they have a $50,000 card limit, now why is that? Because they want to know what you spend on, they want to know everything and track you, its none of their damned business what you do with your after taxed money.
You are preaching to the choir brother. I am an American and I agree with you 100%.
There ya go, most of the continent on the same page.
Its a start ;-)
Amen. Cash and cash only. It is interesting to see some large retailers attempting to phase out cash, e.g., IKEA. To hell with 'em.
The banks make lots of money on your credit cards too. Less on your cash.
Try living in another country and see how FACTA would be very interested in that credit card limit and no matter how small don't file it wrong or it's gonna cost you bigtime (don't forget you have to file this paperwork with the fraud division of the IRS too)
"...its your cash and none of their business."
Government is nothing more than a criminal syndicate of theft and violence so it is their business--literally.

"What's yours is ours, and what's ours is ours."
"And I would hear about it from the gamblers who always bring "cash.
So whazzzzz up?"
Could it be that your local country boys in blue didn't get with the program?
60,000+ incidents and $2.5 billion confiscated is what got the Canucks attention.
State dept travel advisories are for 3rd world/war zones. How bad does this
have to get?
I'm not saying the confiscations aren't happening.
I'm simply saying that **I** haven't heard about it...which in the great scheme of things doesn't mean squat :)
This sort of behavior is everyday business in the "constitution free zone". If you dont know what that is, google it. Wake up moron.
The system has morphed into something that must exort the population or die, not serve it. Otherwise it collapses. It is a profit center for the TPTB, not a public service.
Road to hell paved with good intentions... power corrupts... lots of sayings. They all apply.
Centerline is 100% right on this.
Because they have "the law" on their side they believe they can do pretty much whatever they want for whatever purpose they want...to include lining their own pockets.
"Hey! We counted it four times, we came up with X. Prove us wrong!!!"
Wait, what just happened here? Their word carries more weight than yours? Someone who you know stole from you? You'll go bankrupt trying to prove your case in that "court of law", that they split the difference four ways ;-)
An important detail about these CFZ's is that they extend away from the roads that exit the zone along the border, so that if you get within a certain distance of a road that comes out of the CFZ you get dunned also. There are many other countries that have what the USA offers, in good points, go there.
I live in CA, 45 miles from the Mexican border. They have no cash when they come here but manage to end up with a lot when they return home. Maybe they know how to work the casinos better than the rest of us.
Miffed;-)
Canadians gamble at your work? Do you work at a brokerage firm or financial advisor?
Why would anyone be carrying a large wad of cash across a border in the first place?
Just usa da bits... usa da BitCoinz. Fit good nice.
As I said, we get a lot of Canadians shopping here in the Flathead. They go back with truckloads of shit. I see them every day. Some gamble. How much cash they bring? I dunno.
hairball
Probably the older folks who bring down cash. A lot of places convert CAD currency at PAR or close to PAR. Young ones will take the ass raping with Visa/MC or the ole ATM.
Most all of are gaming customers are older folks now that I think about it.
There you go. They can whip down to Kalispell and do some gamblin' and stock up on some cheap shit...gas...cigs...groceries.... before heading back to Canada. The smart ole guys willl do it at PAR. Thus, the cash.
Exactly right :) Many of the casinos, the smarter ones, exchange at PAR. They know that most of the time the gamblers will leave 100% of whatever they came in with--in our machines.
Sometimes greed doesn't pay :)
It shouldn't be anyone's business absent actual evidence of wrongdoing.
Just so.
Not a question which would ever be asked in a free country.
He don't want for your banks to froze his assets like you do for many countries.
Buy a car. Hard earned money cash deal on a boat. A house. First year at college for kids/grandkid. Loan to someone to start a business.
Who the fuck cares. "Adam Smith" will always win. If you dont get it then you deserve what is coming.
Because it belongs to them.
"Why would anyone be carrying a large wad of cash across a border in the first place?"
Because they don't trust banks?
One of my children hates banks and carries his wealth around with him at all times.
The land of the FLEECE.
The Customs guys are usually ok. Many of them are long time Montana residents.
That said, TSA people I have encountered are real assholes imo.
The border crossings here in NW Montana are small time compared say Detroit/Windsor.
Guys that work at the stations often do their shopping and have friends in CA. So maybe in this area they don't pull that kind of crap?
hairball
Don't take your money to America and leave your fiat at home too.
Ts'O.K., I drive a Toyota.
Ironic. Most Canadian provinces have had reverse onus civil forfeiture in place for almost a decade. This works both ways.
It's gross. Once a Canuckian city cop bragged to me about just that: he was in training and during a ridealong his 'mentors' picked up a dealer and were questioning the dealer's fiancee, when one noticed she was sporting a decent sized rock. He snatched it off her finger and said,
"Proceeds of crime baby!"
It wasn't so much the act that disgusted me (it did some, but the couple may well have been real dirtbags for all I know), it was the glee he seemed to get out of it that really rubbed me the wrong way.
True Story (that I heard this story)
The only way to get your cash safely across the border is to get a Mexican mule to carry it.
If they come through that way they won't need any cash ;-)
That flat chested mule better be carrying silicone implants to south of the border.
Maybe Obama the "mule for the Jews" could carry it.
O' mule. There, fixed it.
No links, no references.Garbage post.
No worries. It's only fiat. Canada can always print more.
When you travel to a foreign country and declare how much money you bring, that little memo goes directly to the bank where they're ready to balance it out, assuming it'll be a long while before the money comes back for redemption.
In case of the US, the assumption is that money going out never comes back, so the more you take out, the more magically appears back at the Fed. That was the whole reason behind OPEC and the ability to endlessly export debt via the petrodollar. How else was it possible to sustain consumption society for decades?
Canada doesn't care what happens to its fiat. It doesn't give a rat's ass about its citizens either. Watch how much effort it puts into rescuing hostages or fighting extradition charges, or bringing its citizens back from Gitmo held without a charge. Canada doesn't give a fuck.
All it worries about is the use of cash in general. Again, like any country it would love to have a record of every transaction taking place. It's not enough for the bank of Canada to know how much money goes out. It wants to know where every cent is spent.
The only real concern there probably is that money stonen by US cops is no longer available for the Canadian cops to steal. And that just ain't fair! Ain't fair!
I believe it! I got my cash and my rental car stolen by the Florida police because they found a bottle of non- narcotic perscription meds that my wife had left in the car. (They didn't take the meds.) Left me and my brother wirth our fishing gear in the median at 1 am on our trip home from fishing. Then the next day they kept raising the price of the release for the car so we said fuk it and let them keep it and let the rental place take care of it. This really happened in Melborne Florida and yes we are both law abiding US citizens.
Our wives had to drive clear accross the state to get us that morning......
This happened for real, and I have talked to others that say especially in Florida the small town cops taget rental cars...
They probably do it other places as well.....
Moost crooked thing I have ever seen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Did you call the police and report the car stolen?
They would probably arrest you for filing a false police report. You can't win.
The livestock herders frequently slaughter a few sheep for camp meat. The herd owners don't miss a few.
HAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAH....
We sat in the median and drank the beer we had in the ice chest until it got light......
For real............
Guess that was ok????!!!!!
:)
There are small towns close to interstates where their biggest source of revenue is traffic fines. They set up roadchecks like fish nets. The goal is to skim as many travelers as possible. No excuse is big or small. They'll ticket you for going too fast, too slow, for trash, busted lights, exhaust fumes, tinted windows, worn out or under-inflated tires. They'll circle your car like sharks and bite it until it bleeds money. They know that once the car is taken, you'll be stranded and much more willing to fork over even more cash.
Here is the kicker......
NO ticket or any violation...............
They just stole the car and the cash...........
I really could not believe I was not in columbia or venezuela or some other place without private propert laws.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No offence intended...........
FOR REAL THIS IS NOT BS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This really happened to me !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"I have talked to others that say especially in Florida the small town cops taget rental cars..."
Florida's got plenty of tourists (many foreign) on fly-drive vacations, they make easy pickings.
Canadian journalist Neil McDonald did a good piece on this just last week:
http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/american-shakedown-police-won-t-charge-you-...
"Canada Warns Its Citizens Not To Take Cash To The USA"
Subhead: "That is how broke and corrupt the DC US is?!"
An American, not US subject.
Fat cops......getting fatter.
All of this money is being collected and deposited in "The Donut Fund"
Cops have become shakedown artists.
Sounds like another third world cess pool, but wait this is int the USA.
Well, that's gotta be the first mistake ...
Nobody should think they can flee tyranny by coming into the US.
The US is as fascist as they come.
so where do we go? Japan?
That's a place where nails that stand up get hammered down.
And irradiated.
New quote on the base of the Statue of Fascism (Liberty):

LOL. I assume you are being sarcastic. Bonestar seems to have disappeared even under his other alias Ghost Rider. Meanwhile, bitcoin has fallen another 20%. Oh where oh where have all the bitcon scammers gone?But drugs are illegal in Canada, so how can a wad of cash be due to selling drugs??
The "War on Drugs" is a fraud. It's just a way to steal huge amounts of the people's assets. So far it's stolen trillions of $$.
I'm curious about something. Are foreigners allowed to plead the 5th or use any other article of the Bill of Rights and the Constitution, or do those only apply to US citizens?
Say, if a Canadian driver is asked to have his vehicle searched, can the person legitimately refuse, or is it a citizen-only privilege?
Can a bogus probable cause accusation be challenged, or is "being a foregner" enough of a cause?
The simple answer to that JuliaS is Definitely Maybe and Depends on which way the wind is blowing.
Sure do! Unless you see a water board nearby…. Then give-up the dough.
JuliaS, I'll go with "yes, yes, yes, and no". Hell's Bells,,,this ain't Nazi f'g Germany! If I was a Canadian, or any foreign tourist in the USA, and I was pulled over for maybe a missing tail light,,,tag light out,,,maybe you were speeding type of thing and the Officer asked if he 'can search your vehicle', tell him politely "No thanks, I'd rather not. Am I being Detained? (if 'no' then ask "Am I free to go?". (this applies to US citizens as well)
You don't have to consent to a Search...ok? You DON'T. Now that being said, if you broke a Law, such as dui, etc, or had a wreck, etc, I'd say odds favor they poke around and things would be different. You got lots of hippie lookin' stuff happenin' on you? Uhh,,,they look for that. They smell some 'smoke'?? Uhh,,,they are gonna bring a dog and sniff it.
There is tons of stuff on ZH about this...and on youtoob. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MdOKUb0jQko
My oldest son when he married four years ago wanted to go to Europe to spend the honey-moon with his wife, who was at the time the Spaniards were deported in droves Brazilians still at the airport. He went to Fernando de Noronha and did very well.
Oh, he knows the USA, did not want to embarrass themselves on honey-moon at airports.
Could be arrested if talking - no one in my wife puts her hand!
The youngest son will marry in December.
She wants to know Disney, childhood dream.
Missing two months to convince her to go to Chile or Cayman or anywhere else.
Anything other than USA or Europe.
Incidentally, a Brazilian who goes to the USA are the new rich or dazzled, evangelical pastors.
hehe.

I'm not there!
I'm at the end of life, and say a few truths in the face of some gringos makes me very happy.
hehe.
Karaio, I like your laugh, "hehe".

Please just post in Portuguese, we will understand you more clearly.
lmao, apparently still using translator version 1.02. Doesn't know we are now using version 9.06.
Cops in USA violate all your rights, in NY if you get stopped by a cop they rush to stick their hands in your pockets / jacket pockets/any opening in your clothing they can find, and pat you down without warning.
I seen some kids get pulled over the other day (they were just walking not really doing anything) and these cops just start badgering them and tapping their pockets/hoodie pockets checking for god knows what.... they yell at you to empty your pocket or just rudely stick their hands in your pockets, its very disgusting behavior frankly and very unprofessional. . . if I get noticed by a cop, first thing out of my mouth is, if you touch me im going to sue you, before they even get a word out, because its getting fucking ridiculous.
cash is dirty a carrier of disease and distemper.
rfid chips can now bee delivered by burger,pizza and dunkin donuts.

Has said several times:
The only "international" thing the USA has is ZeroHedge and military bases.
American football with those guys giving ass, Baisebol that only they, the Japanese and some Indians understand the rules, not to mention shoes, sport rich as the Golf.
It has already dismantled a ball of Golf?
Have you seen how much raw material is there?
Have you seen that old bags Golf -for tacos- were made ??with whale penis leather?
The dollar is no longer a hegemonic ideology is no longer.
Perhaps the poverty of the middle class give way in this confusing world.
The first factory sash to launch IPO I will buy without remorse I know that money will give a beautiful indeed fágricas hemp rope too!
hehe.
Karaio writes: "Have you seen that old bags Golf -for tacos- were made ??with whale penis leather?"
Easy does it there, Karaio. Your Portuguese is becoming entangled in a web of 'penis leather' type things that most of us and me certainly are having trouble understanding. Just exactly how did you know of the secret project to make old golf bags out of whale penis leather? And who are the people that tan this leather? How is it produced and what type of markets are you willing to sell it?? To the O'whaler in Chief? Will he buy a set of golf clubs encased in this type of leather? Hmm,,,,perhaps.
Tacos made from the same type of leather? A bit chewy, I'd assume. Time to go to work. Make a dollar. Then tonight, spend a dollar on new taco? Maybe steak from buffalo arse. /s :)
Well, advantage to Bitcoin.
“The way your dad looked at it, these Bitcoins were your birthright. He'd be damned if any American Agent was gonna put their greasy hands on his boy's birthright, so he hid it, in the one place he knew he could hide something: his ass. Five long years, he rode this USB Flash Drive up his ass….. “(sic)
Bitcon has collapsed another 20%. And this is a currency that is limited to 21 million so by definition, that shouldn't be happening. Bitcon is a joke.
IMHO the only thing more manipulated than pm, stock and bond markets is bc.
no, sessinpo, it is you who are the joke.
your logic is completely wrong, as usual.
let's examine what you said: that by bitcoin having a hard limit of how many currency units there can be, that necessitates that the price will not drop 20%.
it is an ignorant statement, with no basis, those 2 things have nothing to do with each other.
gold has a hard limit as well, as to how much gold is on the earth - does that mean that gold can never drop 20%?
you are ignorant, and should refrain from commenting, you only make a fool of yourself.
The sign of a robust American economy "makin it's come back"...
I'm sure that the bank accounts of American citizens in Switzerland that Hillary demanded confiscation of a few years back was a "better net", But hey when you're attempting to go to war with Russia you need every "bail-in" type confiscation tactic you can use when all those jobs are disappearing!
This is just like Mexican cops pulling you over to take all the cash that's in your wallet.
California cops are just the same, except that they don't stop taking money that's in your wallet- they'll force your great grandchildren to inherit the debt of your socalled "rolling on a red light" $360 ticket.
Thanks Govenator and your garbage interest rate swaps with JP Morgan Chase.
This article is a sad commentary on what America has become. All this it is enough to send shivers down the back of those that have read about the totalitarian society of Oceania described in George Orwell's novel Nineteen Eighty-Four. In Orwell's novel, all citizens of Oceania are monitored by cameras and are fed fabricated news stories by the government. More on this subject in the article below.
http://brucewilds.blogspot.com/2013/09/are-we-creating-orwellian-society...
Thank you for explaining Nineteen Eighty-Four to me. I've read it several times and had no idea what it was about.
What’s this ‘nineteen-eighty four’, malt liquor? I see cameras on all the corners here… and listening devices… and some kind of fake cell towers that were erected in the middle of the night….
Bruce, thank you for an interesting article.
With that said, I must ask what the hell you were smoking when you wrote, "[Oliver] Stone is one of the few committed men of the left working in mainstream American cinema . . . "
JFC, it seems like > 90% of the MSM is committed to Team Blue.
I'm pretty sure that "1984" was Required Reading in my H.S. English class,,,'back in the day'. I'm older than dirt, and '84 was a longgg way off when I read it. Amazing to see that G.O. was such a see'er of the future when he wrote it in '47? (i think). BB is watching,,, Hey BB, I'm watching YOU!! beitch!
Been as a tourist to the USA once, never again. The uniformed morons you encounter at the airport alone made me decide that. Triggerhappy police is added to that. Being legally robbed is not something I want to look for either. You americans have a huge problem to solve...
Are you familiar with ‘the love canal disaster’?
That’s physical pollution.
Pensions are economic pollution.
if you didnt want your love canal to be polluted, you should have made him wear a condom.
I came back about a year ago. There were these new cops swaggering about the aeropuerto.
They all had "dhs" patches on their uniforms, and they had guns.
When did Congress create a new Federal Police Force?
The US is collapsing much faster than Rome.
Perhaps because the Legions did not have communicator devices with "roaming."

Robin Williams had enough.
Only illegals carry cash..just long enough to send it across the border to Mexico and Honduras.
American Woman, stay away from me yea.

You deserve an answer.
You do not know the work it takes to open the Google translator, write in your language, log on ZeroHedge and answer you.
Two billion dollars come into your land by simply dazzled tourists.
Much of this money that pays your salary probably will not come over because of this kind of attitude your.
The circumference of the Earth is large, there are many other places to discover that the tall buildings in NY, boring people in the EU, heat or cold in Australia in Canada.
Tourism, bro, Tourism.
Not everyone who went there are smugglers or immigrants.

Pena, man, you'll be unemployed, it will be one without us there.

Damn, I love ZH...lol.
One of THE most irritating things is foreigners coming around telling me how to live and what I should do. "Back in Bawstun we did it like this, its much better!"
To which I always say: Then haul your sorry ass back to Boston and do it that way ;-)
nobody likes foreign criticism. on the other hand, foreign criticism is way better then a foreign invasion, though you can learn something from both. big fan of learning valuable lessons, me
and I suspect you'd be among the first to miss all those "pesky foreigners", if this club would become a pure American one exclusively from the area where you live ;-)
Your suspicions would be correct. But endless criticism becomes just plain old nagging & badgering at some point.
That point was crossed a long time ago with me ;-)
People living in glass houses, stones and what not.
So the only reason you're here is to support The Tribe?
Question is why do they want to come here anyway?
Because the drug dealers make them carry the cash back across the border themselves.
Because its warm.
Edit: From a Canadian
A more useful warning against confiscation, in hindsight: don't take your hockey teams into the USA
Just have a boat take your cash to Mexico, Then load a couple of donkeys up with your dough and walk across the border into Cali, Texas, N.M., Arizona and party like it's the EOW. ;-)

My parents, upper MC white people, were coming back from a trip to Canada in their Cadillac DTS and were asked if they had any weapons or anything. My mom mentioned that she had some pepper spray. She was detained for an hour or so. That was maybe 10 years ago. Freaking BS.
Just say no
Canadians - DO NOT bring your beaver pelts into the US! Seriously, the Canadians are wonderful people - years ago, I hitchhiked and jumped freight trains across Canada, it was an amazing adventure, it could be made into a movie over the crazy things that happened...

Just looked at travel advisory for the Canadian Dept of Foreign affairs regarding travel to the USA.
direct quote:
UNITED STATES - Exercise normal security precautions
There is no nationwide advisory in effect for the United States (U.S.). Exercise normal security precautions.
My normal security precautions include not going there.
It's the same in all 3rd world countries, right?
The ACLU can use some help fighting back aginst policing for profit...

I strongly agree with the ACLU on many, many issues. However, they fail the liberty litmus test and I won't give them a dime. Until the ACLU realizes that the Bill of Rights is comprised of TEN amendments, they can go fuck themselves.
ACLU has to step up to the podium with legal saber rattling BEFORE this type of shit is enacted to get some cred from me. They are a well known org. They have a voice. Use it and they'll be more believable later.
As a teenager, or wanted to live in Canada or Australia.
Nowadays I see Canada as a land without identity and Australia a land of fake people. Worse, sold!
Neither has willingly.
Always respected South Africans with their discrimination.
At least they were authentic.
Also about the Israeli genocide with all you have done, at least they are sincere.
Know who is who in this western world is getting difficult
Russia, China, Brazil maybe - depends on elections - India, South Africa finally BRICS know what they want:
No wars, just trade!
Fair trade!
Nothing of a price to pay for the welfare of others! How the French do to sell their weapons.
Do not think that just this Brazilian think so, there are many like me - and also Chinese, Russian etc. .
hehe.
"Nowadays I see Canada as a land without identity"
I see Canada as a land without Brazilians, which suits me just fine.
Speaking of Identity....

the police are criminals, thugs, gangsters, scum, and shit. i fear them much more than so-called criminals
tony bona:
Do not think so.
We need police officers as well as garbage collectors, firefighters, technicians in electricity and water, are public employees who provide important services.
The shit is that most cops have done shit in our midst.
The policeman is not there to protect more is there to ACT and give your ass if you try to say something about their rights.
Believe that there is not only in the USA, here in Brazil I've suffered with incorrect approach.

look:
The 2006 Ig Nobel Prize in Medicine was awarded to Francis Fesmire by your physician report of the healing of a (nearly) intractable case of hiccups.
After trying all possible solutions Dr. Fesmire could cure your patient sobs that racked 72 hours ago, performing a rectal massage with your finger.
Imagine you getting hiccups after sixteen hours of flight at an airport USA ...
Guys love scientific articles Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!
Sifu!
Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!
hehe.
"We need police officers as well as garbage collectors, firefighters, technicians in electricity and water, are public employees who provide important services. "
this is not a correct statement.
first, let's start with the word "we" - who is this "we"? different people have different values, so, you should only speak for yourself, for your own opinions, not try to claim that your values are the values of people in general.
second point, it is people who provide needed services, *people*, not government! government is an abstract concept, there is no such object. some of the services provided are useful, but there is absolutely no good reason for these services to be controlled by the corrupt, incompetent government. i don't mind paying for a security patrol, or for a fire station, but when these services don't provide value or are irresponsible or downright criminal (like "policemen" who rob citizens), i should have the right to say, i don't like what you're doing, i won't do business with you. when the corrupt government controls these services, there is no option to back out.

I honestly do not like to respond to a troll, but come on.
You know wipe your ass?
Already spent twelve hours next to a corpse drowned to three days awaiting the expertise (CSI) to?
Have you ever spent was shot in the stomach and eleven days in hospital and had to take two liters (four packets of blood) stinky shit with a belly full of methane gas with a bunch of tubes stuck in you?
When I speak in society, we, I say good people without prejudices, one helping the other as where I live.
No wonder that your company is a living hell, ready to take on a new Civil War, you are as they say here - in bullet point.
I'm sorry, I'm sincerely sorry for you guys in the USA.
Rancho Bundi and that city revolted were two fuses, I think the third will not be more abrasive.
Europe is the same way if you do not know.
Unemployment insane, stupid people.
God has them.
