Passports are connected with the right of some protection abroad by the government of the country of which one is a national, and with the right to enter the country of which one is a national. However, the right of protection does not arise from a passport, nor does the right to enter. Each right arises from nationality. A passport proves the nationality of the bearer, and, consequently, their right of protection and right to enter. In modern times, the passport has become a symbol of national sovereignty and control by each nation-state. That control works both for citizens within a nation and all others outside. All nations thus collude in the system of control of travel rather than its freedom. If freedom of Your personal privacy is your fundamental right, but in today's modern technological world, it is too often compromised. Nobody likes being hassled. An alternate identity might be just the thing to avoid unwelcome attention. You may have a multitude of additional reasons why your true identity could put you in an undesirable position, particularly if you are high-profile and wealthy. You can never actually know before some nasty streak of events whether you are really in safety or not. Think of all the possibilities inherent in a social and political system based on conformist and permanent state controlled brainwashing. And if that's not enough: how about the IRS or your local equivalent to that agency? But persevere and you will be well rewarded. Be aware that the storm clouds of future fiscal and personal oppression are already appearing on the political and legal landscapes of many formerly civilized nations. Getting a second passport now might prove to be one of the best insurance policies you ever buy. Just don't leave it too late. Good luck ! |
