	A double criminal absurdity. The mafia known as government has
	no real 'jurisdiction' in the territory they usurp, let alone in
	territories 'belonging' to other mafias.

	...but I don't think the mafia known as 'american government'
	would agree with that. Subjects, hostages or 'citizens' of the
	american government are, well, subjected to that mafia. The
	subjection has little to do with which point in space the
	subjects might be accidentaly occupying. 


	If an american subject says something the government doesn't
	like or that 'threatens' 'national' 'security' he will be
	considered a 'traitor' and dealt with accordingly. Just ask
	snowden, who is not standing on a territory claimed by the US
	mafia-government. Or perhaps if an 'american' says something
	the gov't doesn't like, he would be be treated like an 'enemy
	combatant' or somesuch crazy jargon. 

	Oh, look here...
