And Charles Dickens visits USA too!
And Charles Dickens visits USA too!
I began this myth of America blog with a report of the deep ongoing disquiet among New Zealanders at American attempt to hijack the TPP (Trans Pacific Partnership Agreement) by inserting into that document American law in defense of alleged copyright violations …A situation that resulted in the traumatic to our nation home invasion of Mr Dotcom’s mansion on the instructions of the American FBI. But reading about Charles Dickens I immediately asked myself; ‘What is new?’ Because after only a month in America the brilliant English novelist and short story writer C. Dickens (1812-1870 was writing this; ‘I have never in all my life been so shocked and disgusted , or made so sick and sore at heart as I have been by the treatment I received…in reference to the International Copyright question… (with) scores of newspapers attacking me in such terms of vagabond scurrility as they would denounce no murderer with’. And speaking here for Mr Dotcom- a welcome resident in our nation, the New Zealand spy agency- GCSB illegally spied upon him…and others too! He was thrown in jail and when he asked his good friend the former Police Minister – a man who he gave a donation of fifty thousand dollars to- Asked Hon John- a good christian for a blanket when he was cold in jail (Matt 25:38,39) John denied knowing …well the bible says-Jesus… So his wife left destitute, things from the mansion confiscated for no good reason, computer files illegally sent to the FBI contrary to our law and sovereignty as an independent nation, with the US Attorney General having already contacted out Attorney General thus thinking that an extradition would be straight forward and prompt… And now we see that there is an email from the head of one of the big Hollywood companies telling of his discussions with the Prime Minister of New Zealand to arrange things here rather than hiring a Chinese hitman in Hong Kong… Well Mr Dotcom must feel just like Charles Dickens at the treatment and abusive things said about him by Americans! And it only took one month for Dickens to discover what Americans were really like, him arriving expecting to be favorably impressed but by Feb 22 1842 he knew what he was up against- And next time we will read what he wrote of the visit. Chapter 9 Abroad in America- 1976.
