Simon Black: Senate Bill 1813 Goes Way Beyond Passport Grabs In Installing New Tyranny

...

Bear in mind, this is strictly an administrative procedure; there is no due process. By comparison, even pedophiles go in front of a judge before losing their passports.

...

But believe it or not, there are even dumber provisions within.

For starters, in what may be one of the most depraved Big Brother moves on record, section 31406 of the bill makes it mandatory for ‘black box' event recorders to be installed in every new passenger vehicle starting with model year 2015.

Section 31504 requires the development of special alarm systems designed to remind drivers that there are other passengers in the vehicle. Duh.

...

Perhaps most important, though, is Title II of the bill-- ‘Stop Taxhaven Abuse.'

Long story short, if the US government decides in its sole discretion that a foreign jurisdiction is impeding tax enforcement, Uncle Sam can shut them out of the US financial system, no questions asked.

...

This it may prove to be the final nail in the coffin for US dominance in global banking... it's almost as if Congress is daring the international community to come up with a better alternative.
