Hey Simon how about if I just send you a couple hundred bucks and you go buy me about 10 acres of good fertile farming land?
I’m game for that?

What’s a “Right-wing Police State”? A police state is socialist (or statist if you wish) in nature. A very LEFT-wing concept.

The Illuminati (or whatever you wish to call the power elite) have hijacked the government of the United States. If you are a young American I figure you either need to understand the reality of the situation and decide either to stay and fight (the 2nd American revolution) or abandon this country. Sorry choices in an age when freedom is blooming in other countries and vanishing in the U.S.

Doug Casey started an “exclusive” real estate development in a little village in Argentina (it sounded attractive but extremely expensive). But, the more I read about Argentina the less I would desire to move there.
I would definitely like to have an escape hatch (at least to avoid Maine winters) in a beautiful and semi-rural area in S. or Central America. DD.

Type your comment here.When “sleeper-cells” are activated and the already-existing suitcase bombs go off in major cities on both coasts, the borders will be sealed shut–no exits for the sheeple allowed; then chaos and civil war will start. Move now! He who hesitates is LOST!!!

Thank you Don for telling it like it is….You’re that rare someone who’s well-read, well-informed and has an upright noble character unafraid to speak the truth. You’re worth your weight in platinum! Everyone should read Immanuel Velikovsky, James McCanney and Charlotte Iserbyt.

Type your comment here.Specifically the 501(c)3 corporate, organized, apostate, state-sanctioned, false-doctrine cult of rapture-ready, politico-religio, programmed individuals hiding behind the cross saying “Jesus luuuvvvvvs you just the way you are” who are unwilling to research the truth of scriptures, ancient writings or anything else. These mindless lemmings would rather feel right than be right. Never try to teach a pig to sing. It just frustrates the pig and is a waste of your time.

The case of a 22-year old girl from Minsk sounds quite inspiring to me, as I am a 22-year old girl from Brest, Belarus. Thanks for sharing it! And recently I have been thinking a lot about making a change in my life and place of residency…

Mr. Black and most of you will talk about moving money to foreign accounts, buying gold, etc. but what about advice for the next generation? I’m a 23 year old college student- I am paying for my education with cash, but I don’t have any money to send overseas, let alone even pay rent or gas. There are a lot more of us in my age group (albeit a small minority) who are “awake” than many of you might think. But we feel incredibly helpless. Stuck between the lack of jobs, rate of return on a college education (is it REALLY worth it?!) and uncertainty about how much of the previous generation’s debt I will have to pay for (by the way, did anyone ask their unborn grandchildren whether they wanted to pay for “free” power-chairs and diabetic testing supplies?!); many of us feel helpless. We know what’s coming, we know it IS coming, but we don’t know what to do about it.

For the Panama facility:
1. I want to own my own land.
2. Deep well – maybe two with a community of privately owned plots – shared well.
3. Good soil, rainfall, not too hot, not too cold.
4. Stable government.
5. A population in which I will look like one of the locals – I’m sure you get the gist of this request.
6. Very economical prices for food, fuel, health care, etc.
7. Within traveling distance of some culture – this is somewhat negotiable. I tried very rural/remote living and it is not sustainable for me.
8. Other people who can fill in the blanks in my own knowledge: car mechanic, nurse, etc.
9. Stable banking system
10. low crime
11. The community needs to become part of the local population/culture – can’t be isolationists – historically, that has never worked.

I read in earlier comments that someone wanted a gym and work out facility – I think farming will work me enough. LOL Best, S.S.

This sounds like a wonderful idea but for one thing, Your running. I don’t like running away, I do love my country and we have an election in a year and a half. If storm troopers come down the streets I will meet them with a gun. I will die but I will die in the service of my country. This country is going to need you so don’t desert her when she needs you the most.

I am 22 and have spent a lot of time investigating expat type communities in Central and South America. I would like to see something with opportunity for younger people who have not had the chance to accumulate enough wealth to outright purchase a home or piece of land, but have more than enough knowledge of the problems of society and the virtues of entrepreneurship and capitalism.

A community of US expats that one could buy into without being even “middle class” would be something I’d sell my house and most everything else for– and get the hell outta Dodge! I’m an artist and gardener/landscaper, etc. Never could do the 9 to 5 bit for any length of time and don’t seem to have the brain for making money……… But I sure can read the writing on the wall!
Many of us are fearful because we’ve been programed to be so, don’t speak other languages and haven’t spent much time out of the US. It would be so grand to have a safe place to go to…

I have a U.S. Patent for a variant of chess that is needed as traditional chess is like a gold mine that has had all its gold extracted. The top players play book moves for the first 20 moves.

I have had the software written by a student at UCSD.
Now I need someone to create the website so we can see if the world will like this.
This would likely lead to becoming the webmaster, so it seems that it would be a help if the website creator is a chess player. I know almost nothing about websites, but it seems to me the website creator could live anywhere on earth. The hosting could be in another country, etc.

I am probably the only chess coach still alive who beat the legendary Bobby Fischer in a tournament chess game. And I am 78 years old.

Best regards to all,

Would definitely be interested in the development outside Panama
City as well as a second passport and foreign bank account.

I would like to see an organic terraced area to grow fruits/vegetables/flowers. Let’s have a ‘community space’ to include a library/card rooms/state of the art gym/sauna/movie screen/massage space (for men & women) and a lovely place to
have a lite lunch or dinner. Tennis courts would be a plus along
with a hiking/bike trail. A van to go to town or the nearest food store (if you don’t want to drive) would be a plus. Ready to leave now.

I'm in the process of relocating to the Dominican Republic and can share some info.
Their government is based somewhat on our constitution.
Four year presidential term and they have a Senate.I'm not sure about a House of Rep. but I believe so.
Residency can be achieved through an attorney.Usually about $2,000 US and about 3 months.Look online but pick the one with the most experience.
Foreigners can own and carry arms once you have residency.
BHD bank there is very open to foreigners and able to open an account fairly quickly (usually within a week or two) and only require a passport.
Property ownership can be complicated but really the most important thing is to have a tittle wich is issued by a branch of the government called el CEA (Consorcio Estatal de Asucar).
So you can buy land directly from the state very reasonably.
Or buy from someone who already has a tittle.
I'm in the process of purchasing about 350 acres that has mountain spring water,nice rich soil,is about 1000 ft above sea level and a view of the ocean off in the distance.
Like you I'm thinking of making it into a community for Americans who want to live not only with more freedom but also more naturally.With grass animals and organically grown fruits and vegetables.
A town and large airport is close by.
There are things to watch out for though.You have to be aware that virtually all Dominicans want to take advantage of the "rich" American so I usually have my girlfriend ask for pricing first.
If you do buy land you need a GOOD lawyer for the transaction and to do and investigation into the tittle,be patient with this!
Driving there is a little wild, they have traffic cops but don't give speeding tickets.
They do give tickets for talking on the phone though.
If you buy a farm there are no property taxes and if your farm makes money, there are no income taxes on the profits!
Unless you're a U.S citizen,then Uncle Sam wants his.
Jet Blue and Spirit have reasonable flights from Ft Lauderdale.
I've traveled numerous times to Colombia,Venezuela,Panama,Costa Rica and Mexico.
The D.R. is by FAR the most beautiful place I've seen and they definitely have more freedom than we do!

Hi Quizal;
I appreciate your boots on the ground experience, which rings true. I had 8 years in Costa Rica, before moving back to the US, due to aging parents. Costa Rica is a bit less accepting of expats now, I think. Panama seems to be on the rise. I would be interested in the higher altitudes on the dry side.
Cheers! Stu.

Hi Simon;
We actually have hit the “eject button” before, with mostly good results. Visited Costa Rica each year since 1986. Bought property there (in San Rafael de Heredia) in 1990. Snowbirded there from 1990 to 1998 from Anchorage, AK. Full time there from 1998 to 2001, when we had sell out and to return to the continental US for reason of aging parents. Very constraining here in the State of WA. Would be interested in hearing about your development. At this point, looking favorably at Panama and Uraguay. Half fluent in Spanish. Mystified by Portugese, which eliminates Brazil. Keep up the good work.
Cheers! Stu.

Well said indeed, Jo Ana. If a person can truly be that blind to the true state of the U.S. government, and the immediate threat of the loss of ALL our freedoms, they have no business being in this community. Wake up, Paulette! This is not “marketing tools” – this is brass reality!

Hi, Simon. Thanks for providing such a colossally valuable & desperately needed service – I'm excited to find you. Yes, the police state is here, and I am so ready to go (& have been for some time), but, not being a person of “means”, am frightened by the “not knowing” of what I will do to support myself. This is the one thing that holds me back. But you've again confirmed that Panama (which I've already been studying for some time) is a “land of opportunity”, so maybe now is the time to just sell my house & go on faith that the rest will be revealed. Btw, I am VERY interested to know the location/s of the $50/acre land!
As far as a development, I would be very interested in a self sufficient community in a rural location, with spacious wooded lots available, plenty of privacy, perhaps with a community organic garden/orchard. My personal preference would be a “quaint English stone cottage” style home, but I'm flexible there. It would also be great to have the option to work for the community as partial payment for property/membership. An example of this I'm looking at now is the new Natural Solutions Foundation headquarters near Volcan, Chiriqui, Panama. Thanks for listening! Looking forward to learning with you!

Sanctuary Belize. That's a great model. A bit pricey for some folks, but a great model. Another will be Mango Springs. Keep it self sufficient and have a marina. Affordable is key too. 1/4 acre for less than 50k. Our eject button has been pushed and we are getting out of Dodge this fall. We sail our boat down to Panama, through the canal to Sanctuary, where my wife and family will be running a Bed and Breakfast and I will be running the Marine facilities.

I like your site and hope that many others come to subscribe and wake the &%^$ up. And He said… LET MY PEOPLE GO. North America is headed straight for National Captivity.

Canada is right behind the USA with all the nasty stuff coming our way. We already have a tyranical healthcare system (that the USA wants to duplicate) and a government that really only takes people's opinions and then do what they want to anyway. If you think about it you know I'm right.

To have a seven bank oligarchy is bad enough. To have the same bank own all 7 banks in the oligarchy is unbelieveable.. Yet it's true. You will find the Royal Bank of Scotland (Rothschilds) as the 'official owner' of Canada's banking system with at least one Rothschild family member
in a very high up position in EVERY financial institution in Canada. Look it up.

Our financial system is just as ready to collapse because when you look beyond the surface we have the exact same MO as the USA.. The government spends more than they tax canuks and borrows. to the point where all taxes paid to CRA go toward the debt and Canada has to borrow in order to run the country. Then pay that money back with usury aka interest. What very few have realized is that usury (interest) does not, cannot and will not ever exist. The game is rigged from the get go and they have sold the lie to us as well.

Yes, it's a GREAT time to leave Canada. While you still can. Properties elsewhere are still affordable and our money is still worth something. Very good time...

We have a few different rules, but are of the same background being British Common Law.

I believe that Canada and the USA will be eliminating our border in the next 5 years.

Having built green homes and sustainable developments for the last 10 years, with the non-existent economy here, I am ready to move wherever I can make a difference and a contribution.

I've heard that too. But one thing I don't see mentioned very often is how most countries treat “foreigners” much better than their own citizens == slaves. Therefore, where-ever we are “citizens”, we can live [temporarily/permanently] in other countries. Especially when it comes to tax scams, these usually apply only to their citizens == slaves. So, where-ever you are a citizen… live somewhere else!

Just signed up for Simon's site. I have dual nationality, two passports, UK/US, and bank accounts and investments as well as tax deferred investments in the UK/US. I currently am drawing US Social Security in the US, but do not intend to draw a pension in the UK, if and when I decide to retire there (and I am not currently intending to). What I continue to hear and read from US citizens who move to foreign countries is that many rely on their US SS payments to live on. Here's my question: if the US SS system defaults, goes bankrupt, or even if a revolution took place in the US — who is going to be processing these payments to US expatriates?

Unfortunately, I am married to a man who thinks I am a nutcase when I talk about preparing for Armageddon. I am preparing however, regardless of what he says or thinks.
