REBORN OVERSEAS Identity Building — in — Europe, Australia and New Zealand Trent Sands “Evil Roy Slade — hero of the movie by the same name — would have loved this book. SLADE — acronym for Sneakin’, Lyin’, Arrogance, Double-dealin’, an’ Evildoin’ — would have, had he been able to read, made sure this book held a special place in his personal library. I like this book. I suspect most of the people I like will like this book. “Sands gives us step-by-step instructions for redefining our ‘official’ selves in most of the non-USA English- speaking world. The great majority of this information is probably about as far away from legality as a virgin’s dreams are from sex. I don’t know whether any of Sands’ procedures and details are valid; I don’t really care. What pleases me is putting one over on the principal, the college administration, the city council, the tax man, the little old blue-haired lady with the rubber stamp. This is the anarchist living in every human soul peeping through the fence rails and saying, “Screw ’°em— here I come.’ ” — Joe F. Whitford, Factsheet Five “The formation of the European Common Market has created a paper-tripping paradise. With an identity in any one nation, you can live, work and travel in all twelve... This book shows how to get all the documents needed for a complete paper identity.” — P.I.

Opportunities have expanded greatly for new identity seekers in Europe because of the rapid integration of all member nations of the European Economic Community, or Common Market. The process will be complete in 1992. However, the relevant issues to the new identity seeker are the new Community-wide laws on employment and immigration. These laws allow citizens of one member nation to relocate to another nation of the community with a minimum of fuss. Each separate nation’s immigration formalities must be complied with, but in actual practice the process is almost automatic. For example, a Frenchman wanting to live and work in West Germany would simply find a job in West Germany and then apply for a work permit and resident identity card after his arrival. After a brief check to ensure that our Frenchman had not been previously deported from 4 REBORN OVERSEAS Germany and was not wanted by the police, his new German identity documents would be issued. Clearly, for the American wishing to live and work anywhere in the EEC nations, the key question is where do you penetrate the system initially to acquire your “citizen- ship?” After this new identity has been created and hardened, you can then proceed on your way to the nation of your choice. The best choice for most Americans would be the United Kingdom, for a variety of reasons. The first is language. Unless you are fluent in French or German, etc., trying to create a believable long-term identity will not work. The second reason that a British identity is the best way to begin is that the British culture is readily assimilable by the American as he seeks to “become” an Englishman. Thirdly, the British procedures for the issuance of such things as birth certificates, etc., are often similar to, and just as sloppy, as the ones here in the United States. This book will show you step by step how to create a complete British background and identity that will withstand scrutiny. It will also allow you to utilize parts of your American background to your advantage should you desire to do so. The most important fundamental difference between creating a new identity in the U.S.A. and in the United Kingdom is that in the latter case you must approach the process in terms of creating an entire British background. In short, when you are finished, you should be able to convince another Britisher that you are now one of them.
