British Government Stripping Citizenships So The United States Can Kill Them?Justin OConnell When your family goes to the State Department or Foreign Office for help, your captors will tell your family there is nothing they can do. After all, you had been stripped of your citizenship. You get extradited. Or you get killed abroad in a drone strike. Being stripped of your citizenship was merely a way of absolving your government of your murder. As a man or woman without a country, you dont exist in the eyes of nation-states, and thus you can be murdered by any government and no other government will raise an eyebrow. But you must have done something wrong, after all, to have your passport revoked. If it says anything at all, your once-government lies and says that you were a high-profile terrorist. You are now a confirmed kill. Since the government likely canceled your passport while you were abroad, by the way, you can never come back home. Somebody else will enjoy your precious metals back home while you rot in a cell or are set up for murder. The appeals process, if you are allowed to walk free, is merely a game of chance. To top it off, long before their passports had been canceled, the 16 individuals had been subjected to extensive surveillance by British intelligence. Their every move, conversation and many intimate moments had been eavesdropped upon. Of the 16 individuals stripped of their citizenship, five had been born in Britain. One lawyer commented that the UKs practice smacks of medieval exile, just as cruel and just as arbitrary. But this medieval exile is by no means arbitrary. It serves a distinct purpose. Analysts are determining that once a UK citizen is stripped of citizenship, it is then easier for the US to designate them as enemy combatants, to whom the UK owes no responsibility whatsoever. So, depriving people of citizenship means that the British government can be absolved when the US uses drones to track someone and kill them. Thats what happened to the British car valet Mohamed Sakr. You have to watch out for those pesky car valets. In one case, a Sudanese-British man took his four British children and his wife on holiday. The fathers passport was revoked, and because their mother was not a citizen, the order effectively made it impossible for the children to grow up in Britain. A judge recognized the childrens rights to grow up in Britain, but determined that the grounds on which the fathers citizenship had been revoked outweighed the childrens rights. Why wait around to have your passport revoked while you are out of country, leaving you practically paralyzed and unable to travel anywhere in the world. As a sitting duck you wait until one fateful day when your home Western nation cancels your citizenship and sends in the drones.
