Stateless Man – a victim of mistake, fraud and stupidity

I have been reading, in the Samoa News, about a man who traveled to American Samoa and has been unable to return to the United States, where he had lived for four years.  His problems started when he made the mistake of buying a fraudulent passport and the stupidity followed.

The World Passport is issued by a non-profit group; World Service Authority, the founder of which has been convicted of fraud for selling the World Passport.  But, apparently he just keeps right on selling them.  A three-year version costs $45; a five-year one costs $75.  Not bad for a non-profit. Read more about World Service Authority.  Then read the real story on Slate.

Branding American Samoa

Where has Pago Pago gone?  Not many years ago Pago Pago was used extensively in advertising and commercial branding.  Now it is all but gone. 

Sure, all our addresses are Pago Pago, American Samoa or Pago Pago, AS.  But Pago Pago as a brand and as an interesting name for our islands is not being used much anymore.  And that’s a real shame because Pago Pago has so much exotic appeal while American Samoa has none.

How do you pronounce Pago Pago?  What does Pago Pago mean?  “Where the hell is Pago Pago?” was once a popular and fun question.  When people hear Pago Pago, they want to know more about it.  The name arouses interest and causes people to ask more questions and/or to google Pago Pago.    

Amending the Bucket List: A Trip to Rose Atoll

by Mark Kneubuhl - newsbyrd.com

(August 6, 2012)  There’s a lot of ocean that surrounds Rose Atoll. The closest “major” port is Pago Pago about 140 miles to the west. Auckland harbor is about 1500 miles southwest and Pearl Harbor, about 2500 miles northeast. Rose Atoll is a rather remote outlier in a sparsely populated part of the planet called Oceania.

Rose Atoll National Wildlife Refuge was created in 1973 when the American Samoa Legislature approved an agreement between the Governor and the US Fish and Wildlife Service. Additionally, President Bush created Rose Atoll Marine National Monument in 2009, which extends 50 nautical miles from Rose Atoll. One has to be within five miles (that’s on a clear day), to spot the atoll’s highest point, no taller than a chimney on a single-story house.
