“For those of us who reside outside of the EU and the US, developments in those jurisdictions in recent years have been troubling indeed. To be sure, in much of the First World, developments have followed a similar pattern: a governmental trend toward fascism and socialism, dramatically expanding debt, ever-increasing destruction by the banking system, etc. However, the US has gone well beyond most countries in one aspect: legislation that allows the government to transform itself into a full-on police state. Whilst other countries have increased their policing powers, none holds a candle to the transformative legislation passed in the US.”
