USA Has Peaked as did Britain in 1914 & The Sun is Setting Rapidly on the American Empire

The one thing on this global tour that is pouring out of the seams is just how much the United States is seen as a dictator & bully to the rest of the world refusing to respect territorial jurisdiction. In every country I have visited, I have been embraced as an American Political Prisoner. Everyone can see we bought portfolios in Japan and Japanese companies were bleeding out of their eye sockets rather than being flush with billions in cash to speculate in hedge funds. The changing of transcripts by the judges has exposed to the world just how corrupt New York really is which is why the Facebook suits around the country were usurped and taken to NYC where the judges will protect the investment bankers involved. Because of this status, the discussions are even more frank than ever before. The audacity of the USA to threaten to seize any assets of a foreign company who does not report what an American is doing overseas is the greatest threat to international law since the days of Black Beard & Pirates.
I met a European who was married to an American who inherited money from her family and because she is American, no bank will accept her money despite the fact that she has lived in Europe for nearly 20 years. Americans have been thrown out of everywhere. Hedge funds will no longer deal with Americans even living in Europe. The damage to international capital flows is off the charts. This single law has wiped out whatever international trade advantages Americans once enjoyed.
This law has inspired real resentment of the United States internationally. Even Americans with safety deposit boxes in Switzerland were given 3 days to get out. There are no Americans left unless they have work permits. American Express will not issue a card to an American outside the United States without work permit status. USA policies of making everyone wait 1.5 to 2 hours at airports just to visit on a business trip and finger-printing travelers is way over the top. A old friend of mine was visiting from Canada. I went to pick her up at the airport. Immigration call me on my phone and asked if I spoke french. I couldn’t believe what they were doing. When I said she was Canadian, the response was she was still an alien.
