How A Second Passport Can Be A Lifesaver

Big Brother’s Homeland Security Department is already tracking everyone’s movements. The real reason seems to be more to catch taxpayers, not dangerous terrorists. Germany, Great Britain, Spain and France, among others, have similar programs. High net worth and minority group Europeans have always had second passports. These days, successful Americans also need second passports. There are already too many restrictions on freedom of travel, finances and associations with foreigners.

Currency controls are always a threat. In Great Britain, for years into the early 1980s, Brits could not take out more than the equivalent of one hundred pounds. This meant no vacations except for those with illegal bank deposits abroad. Virtually every country imposes exchange and currency controls of some form in times of crisis.

In addition, a Second Passport can mean safe passage without delay to a place where your particular religious group would be free of persecution. Who would have thought that when leftist regimes took over, that landlords and business owners would be subject to arrest, and in many cases, execution? Even in the USA, people forget that the landed gentry were forced to flee the country to avoid imprisonment or death... Once during the American Revolution, a second time in the Civil War, and more recently – several times when certain groups like Blacks, German-Americans, Japanese- Americans, were declared persona non grata.
Today, when a defendant appears in court, the first order is often ‘Surrender your Passport within 24 hours or go to jail without bail.’ This can happen in a civil case like divorce. A second passport can be a life-saver.

By ‘second passport’ in this case we mean a passport from a different country than the place you live in. It is possible to legally obtain a second or ‘duplicate original’ passport from you home country. These can also be useful, as explained in our full report. But not nearly so useful as an undisclosed second passport from an entirely different country.

Who Needs A Second Passport?

Short answer: Anyone with property or business interests probably needs a second passport - even if they don’t know it yet.

Most people never think about obtaining a second (or a third) passport. In fact, the vast majority of people don’t even have one passport.

But passports can be lost, stolen, confiscated or cancelled by government. Your ability to escape, to travel, to protect your assets abroad; all these hang by a thread. That thread is your passport.

Lose it and you can be a victim or prisoner in a dangerous, unfriendly country. That country may be your own (present) country.

But by obtaining a second passport, you open up new options – new paths to freedom hitherto unknown and undiscovered. You will cease to be a pawn of governments. You will legally pay less tax. You will achieve financial privacy. Your assets will be protected.

The U.S. government has adopted some policies of Nazi Germany and the old Soviet Union.
Other countries may be as bad or worse, but the USA serves as an example. Today a U.S. passport is used for coercion. For instance ...

• In the United States, the government will deny you a U.S. passport simply for being in debt to the Internal Revenue Service.

• You can also be denied a passport if you owe back payments for alimony or child support.

• If your politics are ‘wrong,’ or you are suspected of ‘suspicious behaviour,’ you can’t use your passport to exit the U.S.A. and you won’t get a new one.

• The USA currently has no military draft, but if they enact one, you can be sure no-one of military age will get a passport.

The USA’s restrictive policies are fast being adopted by many, if not most other countries. In most cases, they already have similar rules regarding passports.

The USA passport already has several restrictions as to what countries may be visited by citizens – Cuba for example. If a USA passport has a stamp in it from a ‘tax haven’ or a Muslim jurisdiction, it is likely that the returning holder will be questioned if not detained at the border on returning home.

Passport renewals require an applicant's Social Security number. Thus, the IRS uses this information to see if applicants have filed income tax returns.

Since 1986, the U.S. State Department has informed the IRS about any American who renews their U.S. passports from a foreign address.

A USA Passport (now with chip included so it can be monitored at a distance without you even knowing) is a monitoring device, just like the prisoners leg bracelet!

More recently, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) used their "fighting terrorism" excuse to track the movements of every US passport that comes or goes by air or sea. They track foreign stamps and recently added land border crossings, so they can create a travel profile of each and every American leaving or arriving in the U.S.A.

Instead of keeping track of only known or suspected terrorists, the government now tracks everyone who crosses a U.S. border. Since there are no limits to how the government uses the data collected, the information will be used for politically motivated surveillance.

How can you avoid these problems? Simple! Travel with another passport (from another country) when you travel between countries outside of the United States. If you're a U.S. citizen, you must use your U.S. passport when you enter or leave the United States. But you're under no such obligation when you enter or leave other countries.

The U.S. Supreme Court has repeatedly ruled that American citizens retain their citizenship when there is no clear intent to end that status. Accordingly, obtaining a second passport from another country does not affect in any way your U.S.A. citizenship status. Further, we know of no foreign countries that will inform the U.S.A. or any other country of citizens obtaining their passport. The few exceptions to the rule may be certain Scandinavian countries or others that require a renunciation of any prior citizenship as a condition precedent to obtaining their passport.

Interestingly enough, at any time after renunciation, a local U.S.A., Canadian or most other consulates will re-issue the ‘renounced” or cancelled passport. Most countries follow the rule: “Once born American, always American.”

The U.S.A. Supreme Court, as well as the Courts of Canada, Great Britain, Australia and others have consistently supported their citizens' rights to hold dual citizenship.
