13-05-06 US GOV IS STILL AFTER ME…
The correspondence below was forwarded to the German Consul in Israel, who had previously provided protection against abuse of my rights by the US and Israeli governments.
Michael A Ratney, US Consul, Jerusalem, Jerusalem
The US Consulate, Jerusalem, Jerusalem, is built in the no man's land between territories that were held by Israel and Jordan prior to 1967. The US Consulate in Jerusalem is unique among US diplomatic missions, since it reports directly to State Department, and not to any ambassador. It is likely that the US considers the Jerusalem Consulate of similar status to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba - not subject to any law.
___________
Brief summary:
On January 1st, 2013, my bank accounts in Israel were blocked by Bank HaPoalim. The bank claimed that it was done on behalf of the US gov. No written records were provided. No legal procedure was the basis for such conduct, either in Israel or in the US.
The Israeli gov refused to provide Equal Protection under the law.
Eventually, after request for protection by the German Consul in Israel, my money was returned.
In parallel, on January 14, 2013, I appeared in the US Consulate in Jerusalem, paid the exorbitant fees, and fulfilled my duties for renunciation of US citizenship. The US Consulate scheduled me outside of working hours, and probably outside of consular calendar, and US Consult Kirk G Smith refused to perform his duties, and only false and deliberately misleading records were produced.
No response was provided at the end of the correspondence below by the US Consulate in Jerusalem.
It is not expected that the US gov would recognize my renunciation of US citizenship anytime soon (i.e., I do not believe that I would ever get a CLN - "Certificate of Loss of Nationality".)
In recent years, record numbers of US citizens have been trying to renounce their citizenship, and the US gov is engaging in various delay tactics to prevent them from doing so, in direct violation of Article 18 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
