Truth - Citizenship is a social contract, within this contract each person has rights and obligations. I renounced my United States citizenship on March 1, 2001 because I do not agree to the obligations of citizenship. Specifically, I do not agree to paying into a tax system that spends more then every other nation combined (over 1 trillion dollars annually) at the behest of the 'military industrial complex' with a 'global spectrum dominance' agenda. I reject war except in legitimate self-defense, i.e. the enemy is coming over your border. I would rather be imprisoned then pay for the murder of my brother and sister no matter how distant they may be.
Citizenship is a reflection of one's conscience, thus world citizenship (as I understand it) best reflects my ultimate allegiance to my entire human family and to planet Earth. Rather then renounce, world citizenship transcends the nation/state system which is inherently divisive. The philosophy behind world citizenship is a uniting force that respects one principle above all others, "The Golden Rule". You need only to understand the wisdom and necessity of "do unto others as you would have them do unto you" to be qualified as a world citizen.
Let me be absolutely clear, I despise secret agendas and I am fully aware of the New World Order agenda seeking to establish a 'one world government'. I reject and denounce this agenda and want no part of any system that concentrates power in the hands of a minority at the expense of the majority. My goal is to effect a better world in which the will of the people is sacrosanct and the way of the world citizen is commonplace.
