Outraged American Whistleblower to Renounce His U.S. Citizenship
Harmon Wilfred will disassociate himself with the U.S. Government on March 1, 2005.
Christchurch, New Zealand (PRWEB) February 9, 2005 -- Harmon Wilfred, an American businessman and exiled whistleblower who has lived in Christchurch, New Zealand since August, 2001, says he will formally renounce his U.S. citizenship on March 1, 2005 to disassociate himself forever with the United States Government and its policies.
Harmon Wilfred says he has been considering the value of his U.S. birthright for many months and made a final decision to renounce his U.S. citizenship shortly after the inauguration of President George W. Bush for a second term of presidency. However, he says his decision which is permanent and irreversible, is far more than a political gesture.
“I was raised to believe – and believed fervently– that the United States is the land of the free and the home of the brave. But the actions of the United States Government in recent years, and my own personal experience, have undermined my respect for the U.S. to the extent that I no longer want to be an American.”

“Americans are literally brain-washed by paid political spin doctors into believing that they live in a representative democracy when in actual fact today, the US system is nothing more than a politically corrupt form of special interest capitalism. Around the globe we’re seeing the US Government act unilaterally and in its own interests while in direct defiance of the legal authority of the United Nations, in the deluded belief that it is delivering freedom and democracy in places where it has no moral or legal mandate.”
“I can no longer be a party to this kind of lawlessness, dishonesty, waste and hypocrisy.” Wilfred’s hope is that the irrevocable renouncing of his U.S. citizenship on principle will become a wakeup call to all Americans.
