one particular question asked of the specific 16-years young lady forcibly away from parental / adult / legal supervision was precisely, "are you giving up american citizenship because of taxes?"
that protocol, mq, is diabolical but minus the waterboarding, is certainly not an issue of pressure from parents
the mother of the girl is an american of the 1% in own stance, father a britisher also of 1% by own work, both together tallying to say mid 9-digits, and the girl was born in america but had lived outside of usa just about all her life except the 1st year, as had the parents for the past 30 years minus 1 year
the parents figured out that the daughter was wrongly put to serfdom of the empire
the question, depending on the answer, would impact the parents as and when the mom chooses to sell down and then give up her papers.
the question, the way it was asked for the purpose it was asked, was disgusting at best, evil at worst.
now the girl is under the sovereign protection of the son of heaven, w/i embrace of one country two systems, sporting two valuable pieces of paper, one british passport and another hong kong special administrative region passport
she is now secure as an 1%, and with freedom, w/o having to do a dipardieu / russia or turner/switzerland
she is attending boarding school in europe, and is seeing history enveloping |
