"Shocking as it may sound, the U.S. Government has openly admitted that it conducted human experiments on U.S. citizens without their knowledge. Not only were these experiments conducted, but they were systematically done over several decades. That alone fits the criteria for a Crime Against Humanity. The knowledge gained from these human experiments means that the use of Depleted Uranium in Iraq or the Balkans is with full knowledge of the results to human health. In other words, the horrendous birth deformities in Iraq were approved by the U.S. Government all the way to the top."

In the aftermath of the tragic 9-11 events and the subsequent wave of patriotism Nichols felt forced to leave his home, business, and his family in order to seek political asylum and safety from persecution in Holland. He has proof that the US was politically targeting him, primarily for his participation in the Hawaiian Independence movement. Partial proof of this is an $11,000 "Bench Warrant" issued for his arrest in which official court transcripts prove his innocence (available on request). As an act of conscience and in protest of U.S. policies he began the process of legally renouncing his US citizenship in 1999.
