Your Government Hopes You NEVER Discover the SHOCKING Truths I’m About to Share…

Here’s What This is All About…

The system as we know it is being “reset” (not just in the US but all over the world), and the new rules have yet to be written. This “system reset” could be DEVASTATING for those who ignore the numerous warning signs and fail to prepare. If you're serious about taking action NOW, I urge you to read every word of this IMPORTANT message where I will reveal specific steps you can take starting TODAY to preserve your freedom, protect your family, and safeguard your assets regardless of how the “system reset” plays out.

I learned something else, too…

The warning signs are always there. Especially in America, right now. We are entering a period of DRAMATIC change.

The changes over any decade are remarkable, but what's happening now is vastly different. In the next ten years through this period of dramatic change, your country, your business, your neighborhood will look nothing like they do today.

Financial Privacy is a Fantasy

The PATRIOT Act has put an end to Financial Privacy to fight the “War on Terror” and it also allows the government to tap your phone and listen to your private conversations without a search warrant (oh, and Congress just extended these warrantless surveillance super powers until 2015)

Medical Privacy is History too

Thanks to legislation such as HIPPA and ARRA and the creation of electronic medical records easily shared with insurance companies, marketers, and employers, medical privacy has disappeared too.

Increasing Government Interference in Our Everyday Lives

Even something as simple as air travel had been made into a major inconvenience by TSA goons so out of touch with reality we routinely hear stories like the one where they demanded to 'pat-down' an 11-year old girl. To give you a recent example, a 95-year old woman in a wheelchair who was trying to board a flight to Michigan in order to be with a dying family member in the final stages of leukemia was forced to remove her adult diaper for TSA inspectors-- all in the name of the “War on Terror.”

LESS Personal Freedom in Favor of MORE Police Power

In a recent case [Barnes v. State of Indiana], the Indiana Supreme Court basically threw out the Magna Carta and the US Constitution when it ruled that Hoosiers (as residents of Indiana are called) have no right to resist unlawful entry by police officers. Centuries of legal precedents were summarily dismissed, and the Fourth Amendment of the US Constitution was gutted in one fell swoop. A government that rejects the right of its citizens to protect private property against unlawful entry – a hallmark of a free civilization – is not far down the road from denying other basic rights, like assembly, criticizing the government, and possession of firearms among others.

Increased Capital Controls are Coming

Recent legislation called the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FACTA) requires, in some instances, that foreign banks withhold 30% of payments that -might- originate from the United States. This bill has been signed into LAW and is waiting to take effect; it's the early stages of capital controls-- governments trying to regulate the flow of money in and out of the country.

And that's just the tip of the iceberg. Without question, we are entering a NEW era with NEW challenges.

The Age of Turmoil & Sovereign Risk

We have entered what I call the Age of Turmoil, a time marked by rapid change and fluctuating crises. The old system of debt and consumption gave us great salaries, generous benefits, a skyrocketing stock market, a real estate market with low-interest loans and home values rising through the roof.

Everyone played a part in this system of endless debt and consumption. Students would rack up huge debt to cover the rising tuitions at colleges and universities and in turn enslave themselves immediately to corporate jobs in order to service the debt.

Social reinforcement is a POWERFUL mechanism, encouraging people to indebt themselves further through mortgages, car loans, and credit cards. Conspicuous consumption became a social tradition, and corporate profits surged as people filled their McMansion garages with useless imported trinkets.

For those who got in early and played by the rules, the system was very generous. In exchange for unwavering trust in the system and continued indebtedness, people were rewarded with large salaries, excellent standards of living, soaring investment returns, home price appreciation, health benefits, and generous retirement plans.

In fact, the baby boomer generation, which rode the bulk of this tide, is the most prosperous generation to have ever existed in the history of the world. But this system is about to implode due to…

UnSustainable Fiscal Irresponsibility…

Little by little, though, this system has been changing. We have spent decades living in a period of unsustainable fiscal irresponsibility. The crisis is accelerating and the consequences are now being realized.

The system that gave us a high standard of living…is SHATTERED. In fact, the stock, credit, derivatives, and real estate bubbles have already burst. And that's only the beginning.

These economic consequences will drive future political decisions, geopolitical tensions, social stability, demographics, crime rates, resource availability, immigration policy, police activity, and more.

They will even affect the reliability of our infrastructure, utility grids, and food transportation networks, leading to a significant reduction in standard of living for hundreds of millions of people.

We all know that history repeats itself. This situation played out and utterly devastated Argentina and it's playing out right now in Greece. Will your country be next? Spain, Portugal, Ireland, Iceland, the United States, Japan, England…that's just a short list of sick economies. No country is “too big to fail.”

Still, many people will deny this new reality, resist change, and instead cling desperately to the old system – the cycle of debt and consumption that provided jobs, stability, and prosperity. These people will have their lives turned upside down because that system is gone forever.

Before we go any further, let me be clear that I do not hate America. Quite the contrary. It's simply that America (and many other countries including much of the European Union) currently face a unique set of challenges. I believe that…

The Greatest Risk we all face is Sovereign Risk

– having everything in a single country (i.e. holding all your eggs in a single sovereign basket).

And the list of things that could go wrong is long:

Your assets can be frozen or seized at the whim of any judge, bureaucrat, or police agency and you are “guilty until proven innocent.” Politicians routinely change laws effective immediately (or even worse retroactively) meaning capital gains taxes and income taxes can rise dramatically overnight or NEW taxes can be imposed. Considering the alarming rate at which local, state, and federal governments are going broke, these threats become more realistic every day and in fact are already happening.

Capital controls and currency debasement are also major issues. Desperate governments have historically tried to control their money supplies by restricting the free flow of capital across borders, preventing businesses and citizens from moving money out of the country, holding it captive to inflationary policies, senseless regulation, and higher taxes.

Sovereign Risk threatens everyone's livelihood, and not diversifying this risk is putting all of your eggs in one very frail little sovereign basket. Your livelihood depends on being able to properly diversify this risk. For those who are well prepared, this is a time not of fear, but of once in a century opportunity.

During this rough period, the die shall be cast for generations. Fortunately, we can clearly see this coming and there is still a bit of time to act…but diversifying Sovereign Risk requires a NEW, more global principle of diversification.

The NEW Global Principle of Diversification

The old, well-known “Principle of Diversification” says to avoid putting all your eggs in one basket. By diversifying your assets and putting them in different “baskets” you significantly reduce the risk of losing everything. It makes a lot of sense.

The old principle of diversification is commonly applied to financial assets. You put some money in stocks, bonds, real estate, maybe even precious metals like gold and silver.

You could even diversify within those categories. Large-cap stocks, small-cap stocks, etc. As one class of assets fell in value, another would rise to offset it.

That principle served us well for several generations while the US prospered and became the world's dominant super power…but those days are quickly coming to an end (some argue those days are already in the rear view mirror). In any event, the US is not the world super power it once was.

In the short span of a few decades the United States has undergone a radical transformation in terms of its economic activity and behavior. The US became a super power by saving, producing, creating wealth, and exporting manufactured goods for the rest of the world to consume. Unfortunately, we have turned that upside down.

We have become a nation of non-savers, shifted from manufacturing to a largely non-exportable service-based economy, and run up record amounts of national and personal debt. We've mortgaged ourselves to the hilt and squandered the money largely on excessive consumption of unproductive imported goods. What we have done is similar to a philandering playboy who inherits a huge fortune and then proceeds to squander it.

The result is a national debt approaching $15 TRILLION and growing uncontrollably. And when you add unfunded liabilities like Social Security and Medicare, the real national debt exceeds $50 TRILLION. The situation has become so dire that the US government has to borrow money (or print more money) just to pay the interest on its massive debt.

The US Government is no better off than families that have borrowed too much to live a lifestyle they can't afford with a big house, luxury cars, and lavish vacations. It was great…until the debt came due and now many families are struggling to make the payments on those fancy houses and cars….not to mention the making the minimum monthly payments on their credit cards. Uncle Sam is in the same boat…but on a much larger scale.

The US dollar's status as the world's reserve currency has only served to delay the inevitable collapse. This special status literally gives the US government a license to print money…and they've been printing it by the trillions. As more dollars flood the market, the more worthless they become.

And the rest of the world is catching on…it's only a matter of time until the US Dollar loses its status as the world's reserve currency.

What do you think will happen when the US government loses its ability to borrow?

It won't be pretty.

In short, decades of fiscal irresponsibility have put us in a financial tailspin. We are approaching a “perfect storm” scenario which will most likely play out in a complete collapse of our financial system. It will take years – possibly generations – for the global monetary system to recover. It will require a complete “system reset.”

It's bad and getting worse. Uncle Sam is broke and desperate. He's got his eyes on your money (including your 401(k) plans, IRAs, and other retirement accounts)… and unless you take action NOW to get it out of his reach, he'll grab it faster than your plan administrator can take their fees.

It's already happened in several countries around the world including Ireland, Argentina, Bulgaria, Hungary, and Poland. And US politicians are already talking about doing it too, so this is a real threat. Think about it. The same group of people whose fiscal irresponsibility got us into this mess wants to take charge of managing your retirement accounts. It sounds like a recipe for disaster.

And there's more BAD NEWS. Many are widely predicting…

The Death of Fiat Currencies

Contrary to popular (and very misguided) belief, the US Dollar is NOT a “safe haven.” It's more like a sinking ship. In fact, since 1913 the US Dollar has lost 95% of its value in relation to gold. Yet the vast majority of Americans have no idea how rapidly the purchasing power of their dollars is declining.

Inflation is also eroding the purchasing power of US Dollars. The “official” inflation rate reported by the US government may be low…but that's mostly because they constantly change the calculation to keep it artificially low. If inflation was measured today the way it was measured in the 1970's, the inflation rate would be approaching 10%…that means the purchasing

power of your dollars declines by nearly 10% each year. If you're not making at least 10% on your money, then you are actually LOSING money measured in terms of purchasing power.

And if you think this applies only to the US Dollar, you're dead wrong! Many experts argue the death of fiat currencies is near. The Euro, the Yen, and the Pound aren't faring much better than the US Dollar as stores of value. They are all headed towards the intrinsic value of the paper they are printed on…which is ZERO!!

Here’s the BOTTOM LINE:

Holding all your assets in the US Dollar (or any single fiat currency) is financial suicide. Unless you take measures to protect yourself your dollar-denominated assets are going to collapse in value and your standard of living will be painfully lower.

Let's recap the major Sovereign Risks to your Assets:

• The Impending System Reset (the old system of debt and consumption has gone up in flames and the new rules have yet to be written)
• Unsustainable Fiscal Irresponsibility (for decades governments have run huge deficits and taken on massive amounts of debt to cover them and this is NOT sustainable)
• Lawsuits (particularly in the US, it's easy to lose everything in a lawsuit – and frivolous lawsuits are commonplace)
• Immediate or Retroactive Taxes and Fees (broke governments will not hesitate to quickly pass legislation aimed at transferring your wealth to their greedy little hands)
• Asset Seizures (any judge, bureaucrat, or police agency can freeze or seize your assets in the blink of an eye – and you're guilty until proven innocent)
• Capital Controls (desperate governments routinely enact laws aimed at controlling your assets and restricting the free flow of capital across borders)
• Currency Debasement & Inflation (inflationary policies and constant increases in the supply of money decrease the purchasing power of your money)
• Government Takeover of Retirement Accounts (don't be surprised when Uncle Sam passes legislation to take over and manage the funds in your 401(k) and IRA accounts someday soon)
• And there are more – too many to mention here – but you get the idea.

So How Do You Diversify Sovereign Risk?

If this sounds like a hopeless situation, don't worry because it's entirely possible to manage all these risks. In fact, thousands of smart people just like you are already doing it. It goes back to the NEW Global Principal of Diversification and what I call planting multiple flags.

Simply put, if you don't have all your assets under the control of a single government you have diversified your sovereign risk because no single government has control over your assets. It's a simple concept and it's perfectly legal.

Think about how things work under the old system – people are effectively given pre-packaged options for the major decisions in their lives. There are pre-defined career paths for becoming a doctor, a lawyer, a pilot, a nurse, and almost any other profession you can imagine.

When it comes to retirement planning, you just answer a menu of questions to define your risk profile and instantly you have a model portfolio to follow. There's little thinking involved…and little choice either considering the limited number of mutual funds available in most retirement accounts.

Reject Limiting Choices…

I call these “limiting choices” and they are deeply ingrained in our modern society. Our realities are defined not by us, but by people and regulations that govern our thinking, restrict our options, and constrain our creativity.

When you walk into a bank, for example, no one is going to sit down with you and say:

“Hey, I think you should protect yourself from a depreciating currency. Let’s talk about precious metals like gold and silver or at least a more stable currency like the Swiss Franc.”

Not a chance. Instead you get the same two limiting choices that are jammed down the throats of millions of other customers: the generic checking account or the generic savings account.

These “limiting choices” work just fine as long as the system is functioning properly…they're efficient and help maintain order. The danger is that such limiting choices are NOT designed to help you survive when the system collapses.

Limiting choices such as the standard career template of racking up huge educational debt, investing in index funds, holding cash in a savings account, or relying on social security, were fairly successful strategies before the system cracked.

But in the Age of Turmoil, these limiting choices have become destructive.

The way out, the way to survive and thrive through this turmoil, is to reject limiting choices and defining your own reality through what I call Universal Choice. An effective strategy for doing this is to “plant multiple flags.”

Think of a flag as a section of your life or your assets. You've got a banking flag and a residency flag. You've likely got investment and real estate flags and you may have a business flag. These flags determine how robust and redundant your financial life is…and how free your freedoms are.

If you have “planted” all your banking flags in one country, and in a single currency, you do not have diversification. If that currency collapses (and many fiat currencies are in fact collapsing), you are not protected. So when we talk about planting flags, we're talking about creating redundancy with your money and lifestyle.

Instead of accepting the limiting banking choices offered by your hometown bank, you can open a foreign bank account in alternative currencies, or store gold in a private vault overseas. This diversifies and protects your assets, taking your nest egg out of a single sovereign basket subject to the increasing rules and regulations of a single country.

It is 100% legal for a US citizen to open an offshore bank account…at least for now. Like I said earlier, desperate governments don't hesitate to enact capital controls designed to prevent the free flow of capital from crossing borders and good ol' Uncle Sam is already at work trying to prevent US citizens from protecting their assets in offshore accounts (see WARNING Sign #5 above).

Let me be crystal clear. What I'm talking about here is protecting your assets by moving them out of Uncle Sam's reach. This is NOT (nor do I advocate) hiding your assets to avoid taxes. In any event, with capital controls looming on the horizon, NOW is the time to take action to protect your assets while you still can.

The GOOD NEWS is that it's more like a hurricane than an earthquake. Earthquakes strike without warning, at least there is advanced warning with hurricanes so you have time to take action to protect yourself, your family, and your assets, and ultimately evacuate if necessary.

But make no mistake this is no run of the mill hurricane, an “Economic Katrina” is headed in our direction. Nobody knows whether it will be a direct hit or a glancing blow but we do know it's coming and time is running out to “batten down the hatches” and protect yourself, your family, and your assets.

Sure, I've painted a less than flattering picture of the current situation in the United States…but the facts don't lie. And many countries face similar problems: Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Greece, and Spain for example. Not to mention Japan and England. So the US is far from alone.

Despite all that, there are still some excellent jurisdictions where you can open a bank account and even hold your funds in multiple currencies (or even precious metals like gold and silver) to further diversify your sovereign risk. I'll share more on this in a minute.

But the NEW global diversification and the smart strategy of planting multiple flags extends beyond just financial assets and accounts. Think of planting a flag for each interest or asset you have. The more flags you plant, the more diversified you are, and the safer you are from sovereign risk.

Think of all the possibilities. I promised 8 “Flag-Planting”
Strategies and here they are…You could plant flags for:

• 

  Planting multiple flags diversifies your sovereign risk. If you bank in Canada, have a brokerage account in Australia, business entities in Singapore, store gold in Switzerland, and live in the US, no single government has you under its control.

  Bank accounts (there are countries with much more solvent banks, fewer regulations, and stronger currencies than you'll find in at home)
• Brokerage accounts (an offshore brokerage account could open up NEW investing opportunities that aren't available at home because many great foreign companies choose not to deal with your government and all of its red tape)
• Business entities (nothing stops a frivolous lawsuit faster than a business entity strategically located in an offshore jurisdiction)
• Retirement accounts (Your government can't touch your retirement accounts when you put them overseas)
• Gold storage (the US government confiscated the gold of its citizens in 1933 and considering the current economic and financial situation, there is plenty of speculation that it could happen again in the future)
• Domain registrars & Hosting (if you have an Internet based business, why not move it to an offshore jurisdiction more friendly to online businesses?)
• Email (if you're using gmail, Yahoo, AOL, or any of the other big US-based email servers, your messages are definitely NOT private. You can plant an offshore email flag for FREE!)
• Residency (even if you never plan to leave home, a 2nd passport is the ULTIMATE insurance policy… if the proverbial “shit hits the fan” – or you just get sick and tired of the emerging police state – you'll have an escape route already in place…PLUS an increasing number of offshore banks and brokerages won't even deal with US citizens due to all the onerous regulations the government imposes – another form of capital controls – but with your 2nd passport, you need not worry about this hassle)
• And Many MORE! (You can plant a flag for just about anything you can imagine)

This is NOT a fantasy: thousands of freedom-seeking, opportunity-seizing, liberty-loving people all over the world are making the gutsy and critical decision to join the ranks of the prepared. They rest easy at night, even if they never sleep away from their home country, knowing that they and their assets have become truly international and truly sovereign.

On the surface, the concept of planning multiple flags and diversifying globally is simple, straightforward, and easy to understand…but as a matter of practicality it can be a daunting undertaking.

For example, let's say you've decided it would be a good idea to open an offshore bank account and move some of your money out of your home country. What country should you choose? And what bank? The options are almost limitless…but there are certain jurisdictions that are ideal based on your personal criteria. It could take you months – even years – and tens of thousands of dollars to go through the maze of options and reach a decision.

The same holds true for business entities. There are hundreds of choices and the best option for you depends on your reasons for establishing an offshore entity.

And if you decide to pursue a 2nd passport (it's perfectly legal for most citizens, including the US and Canada, to hold a 2nd passport and even 2nd citizenship – most people even know someone who holds dual citizenship), it could be even more daunting. What country? And who should you work with to help you through the bureaucracy and paperwork? Who can you trust?

It's all a confusing mess…and that's where I can help. As I mentioned earlier, I have been traveling the globe in search of opportunities for years. I have wrestled with these same questions myself and invested years of my life and tens of thousands of dollars to learn what I know and I'd like to share that knowledge with you to get you started on the right track to planting multiple flags just like I've helped countless others (I'll share their stories shortly).

In fact, here are…

Like I said, it can be challenging, but it's not nearly as difficult as you might imagine. In fact, right now I can help you open an offshore bank account and establish an offshore entity without even leaving the comfort of your own home.

And that's just the beginning. You see, about 2 years ago, I started sharing my insights and knowledge in my daily “Notes from the Field” e-letter. It is now read by more than 70,000 people around the world. And many of them are frustrated just like you and are looking for solutions and answers to their questions on global diversification.

So what I decided to do was bring all my trusted contacts from around the globe together for a one-time event I called the Sovereign Man Offshore Workshop. As you can imagine, it was a massive undertaking to get so many diverse people from so many different locations around the world to meet in a single location for 3 days….but I managed to pull it off.

The event was held recently in beautiful Panama City, Panama. I knew there was a need for an event like this but the demand absolutely blew me away! It SOLD OUT in 24 hours… without so much as an agenda.

If you're still reading then obviously you are concerned about sovereign risk and you can rest assured that you are not alone. Attendees came from all over the world – we had folks come in from as far as Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Spain, Australia, Germany, Hong Kong, England, Thailand, and more.

We had immigration specialists, tax attorneys, bankers, private asset managers, corporate secretaries, and other internationalization experts from places as far and diverse as Singapore, Switzerland, Brazil, New Zealand, the Philippines, the Cook Islands, and many more.

These are trusted professionals, many of whom are my friends and advisers, and they came a long way to help people take action, stay compliant, and do everything above board, in the light of day.

Over 350 people attended and I'm happy to report that it was a HUGE success. Many attendees have opened foreign bank accounts, established offshore entities, and even gotten the ball rolling on a 2nd passport. It was an exciting 3-day event jam-packed with actionable information and the contacts necessary to take immediate action right there at the event, reading, willing, and able to help.

Obviously you missed the event and I don't plan to hold another one…EVER! Sorry, but it was a once-in-a-lifetime event that took a Herculean effort on the part of myself and my staff to plan and pull together. And it's doubtful I could ever get so many of my trusted contacts to come together in one place at one time again.

Remember, many of them traveled half way around the globe as a personal favor to me. I already owe them big time and I'm not about to go to the well once too often because these are the same people I work with on a regular basis and I'd like to keep it that way. I'm sure you understand.

But don't despair because before the event, I committed to creating a high-quality „act-from-home' package for folks who couldn't make it. I had the whole event professionally recorded and edited by the same crew that works for Richard Branson's Virgin Group and it's now available as a valuable resource to help you plant multiple flags. Introducing The Sovereign Man Offshore Kit…

The ULTIMATE Step-by-Step Guide to Internationalizing Your Life and Assets

Here's What you Get in Your Offshore Kit:

1) A Comprehensive 206-page Globalization Guide

This thick manual is divided into 4 important sections:

Section 1: Offshore Banking

An offshore bank account is a sensible first step to internationalizing yourself and diversifying your sovereign risk. We had representatives from several countries at the Workshop including Singapore, Belize, Switzerland, as well as other experts who can help you open an offshore bank account in just about any jurisdiction in the world.

Why Should You Open an Offshore Bank Account?

Here's the simple answer: If you bank in your home country, whatever that country may be, there are legions of bureaucrats who have the authority to freeze your accounts, and even dip into your funds and help themselves to a little taste without your approval.

In the US, this can happen at both the federal and state level through hundreds of different agencies and courts. It's really spooky when you consider the sheer magnitude of government agents who can exert control over your financial well-being.

Certainly you can add multiple layers, such as trusts and corporations, for extra protection… but for most people, simply holding a personal offshore account provides more security than 99.99% of the population can claim to have.

Also bear in mind that offshore banks may often be stronger than banks in your home country… financial institutions in places like the US and UK are quasi-government sponsored entities at this point, relying on taxpayers and central bank funny money for their profits.

In stronger jurisdictions such as Singapore (which has NEVER had a bank failure), financial institutions are strong and stable, typically a better choice for deposits.

It's really not much different than opening an account at home…but provides a layer of protection between your hard-earned money and your home government. Think of it as an insurance policy. Much like the spare tire you probably carry in the trunk of your car…hopefully you'll never need it but it's very assuring to know that it's there if you need it in case of an emergency.

Section 2: Offshore Entities & Structures

Offshore structures are another option for planting multiple flags. Offshore structures can provide many advantages including: privacy, protection from lawsuits, tax advantages, asset protection, inheritance and estate planning, even protecting your retirement accounts, and much more.

But there are many things to consider when selecting the right jurisdiction and the right structure (corporation, trust, LLC, foundation, etc.) that best suits your unique needs… and that's what this section is all about.

Section 3: Residency & Citizenship

Here's the truth– establishing a second residency overseas is a great idea; it ensures that you have a place to go should you ever need to leave your home country, and it can even lead to an eventual second passport. A “second residency” doesn't necessarily mean that you have to spend time there…but it gives you options if the time comes where the situation in your home country ever becomes unbearable.

The speed, ease, and cost of establishing a second residency vary widely from country to country. Depending on your personal situation, you might find that one jurisdiction is perfect while another is totally unrealistic. That's why I had representatives from 12 countries (experts on residency and citizenship) at the event ready to answer your specific questions. We held a panel discussion the first day of the event and then each representative gave a comprehensive presentation on establishing residency in that country.

Based on what they discovered at the workshop, many attendees are well on their way to a second residency and an offshore escape pad if they ever need one. Remember, all of these “flag-planting” strategies apply to your entire family. You can open offshore bank accounts, create offshore structures, and obtain a second passport for your significant other, your children, etc.

Section 4: Lifestyle & Independent Income Streams

This section covers various important aspects of a sovereign lifestyle including resilient communities and declaring your economic independence with the ability to generate independent income streams anywhere in the world through intelligent investing or creating your own online business. I brought in two of my most successful business partners to share their secrets with you.

Tim Staermose is a full-time investor living completely (and comfortably) off of the returns on his trades. He has spent years honing and perfecting his trading system capitalizing on takeover arbitrage opportunities in the Australian stock market with a success rate of 90% and average annualized returns of over 20% all with low downside risk.

Craig Ballantyne is an Internet millionaire who shares his strategies for “How to Build a $100,000.00 Internet Business in 12 Months.” Craig speaks from experience as he has created his own six-figure Internet business several times over. Craig's presentations were jam-packed and received some of the best feedback. Craig is the real deal and can show you how to achieve true Internet Independence.

2) Flag-Planting Forms (so you can Act IMMEDIATELY)

As promised, the Sovereign Man Offshore Kit is a one-stop-shop for planting multiple flags. Once you've decided on an offshore bank, just fill out the forms and send them in. They are included with your kit. The same holds true for offshore structures, retirement accounts, and residency applications.

This Workshop was designed for people who intended to take IMMEDIATE action and start planting flags…and the Kit was designed with the same goal in mind. It's as simple as reviewing the information, deciding what's best for your particular situation, and filling out the forms. Before you know it you will be prepared to survive and thrive in the Age of Turmoil and you'll sleep well at night.

3) Internationalization Expert Presentations

These professionally recorded presentations on 12 DVDs and 2 CDs are the meat of the kit. Nearly every minute of the workshop was recorded. Watching these presentations is the next best thing to being there. You'll see and hear exactly what the jam-packed room full of attendees saw and heard.

My hand-picked group of internationalization experts (the same ones I've personally used) cover everything from offshore bank accounts in various countries (including private banking for high net worth individuals), storing gold, several types of offshore entities and why you should consider each, asset protection and estate planning, obtaining a second passport in several countries including Panama, Brazil, Paraguay, New Zealand, Singapore, Ecuador, Uruguay, Latvia, Lithuania, and the Philippines.

4) Speaker Presentation Notes & Materials

Most of the speakers graciously provided their presentation materials and discussion notes which are available for immediate download on our secure website. These are the perfect complement to watching the presentations and will help you get the biggest benefit out of the information presented. You can jot your notes down in the margins as ideas pop into your head.

5) Global Diversification Expert Contact List

This list provides everything you'll need to get in touch with any of the experts you'd like to contact about offshore banking (7 contacts), offshore business structures (9 contacts), and residency and citizenship (10 contacts) including: name, phone number, email address, and website. You can take action IMMEDIATELY and have confidence that you are working with a top professional in the field that has been personally vetted by me.

Remember, I've negotiated Special Rates for anyone who owns this Offshore Kit…that alone will cover you investment.

6) Offshore Kit Updates Website

We won't leave you guessing whether or not you have the most current information. You will have access to a special website where we will provide updates whenever necessary.

Here's a comprehensive run down on…

Exactly What Was Covered at this
Never-To-Be-Repeated Offshore Workshop…

• Framing the Problems and Solutions: I set the stage with an overview of the sovereign challenges we all face and the solutions presented at the Workshop.

• Offshore Trusts for Estate Planning and Asset Protection:
  a detailed look at why an offshore trust may be the most rock-solid asset protection and
  estate planning vehicle you could have.

• Expert Panel Discussions on:

  • Asset Protection & Estate Planning

  • Planting Business Flags

  • Planting Financial Flags

  • Residency & Citizenship (obtaining a 2nd passport)

  • “The most valuable information was about the HIRE Act and the restrictions the SEC puts on my investments if I use a US brokerage house. Also the tools I need to think strategically about where my businesses are incorporated, what currency I work in, and how to create barriers from frivolous lawsuits.”
    Frank Schffarczyk

• The Foreign Accounting Transactions Act (FACTA): This eye-opening presentation SHOCKED quite a few people, ANGERED others, and generally created quite an uproar. An international tax attorney provided a stark picture of what is coming on January 1, 2013. FACTA is a major step towards capital controls that could seriously affect the ability of US residents to move their money abroad. Politicians quietly slipped FACTA into a jobs creation bill. Most Americans aren't even aware of it and it's also a big reason why you should ACT NOW before it's too late!

  “JOLTING….The presentation sharing the details of the HIRE Act drove the point home. I left with a definite ‘I’ve got to do this…and I’ve got to do it NOW’ frame of mind. That presentation pushed me to act.”
  A Pabon

  “Being informed about the HIRE Act may rank at the top for me. I was surprised and disappointed that I didn’t know about HIRE. Now I see the extent to which this morally empty government will go.”
  Charlie Tyrell

As you can see, no stone was left unturned and we had experts from literally all corners of the globe at the event ready to help the attendees get the ball rolling toward planting multiple flags. That's exactly why I called this event a “workshop” and not a seminar. I wanted everyone who came to leave with a definite plan of action…and to have the option to start planting flags right then and there.

Many attendees left the event with offshore bank accounts and entities set up right there at the workshop. And with the comprehensive list of contacts provided with your Offshore Kit, you'll be able to do the same. Don't worry! It's possible to open an offshore account and establish on offshore entity without actually visiting the country. Because of my relationships with these experts, you can do it from home and reap all the benefits of internationalizing your life and your assets.

Remember, everything covered at this Workshop is completely above board and perfectly legal under US laws (at least for now…I can’t guarantee how long it will be until capital controls hold your assets prisoner inside US borders). This is NOT about hiding assets. It's about being smart and proactive and taking action to protect your assets while you still can.

Now that you know what's inside the Sovereign Man Offshore Kit and are ready to plant multiple flags, you're probably wondering…

What’s the Investment for the Information that Will Internationalize Me So I Can Protect My Family and My Assets?

That's a fair question. I've invested many years and tens of thousands of dollars to assemble this team of experts…the same experts I and my trusted network use to plant multiple flags. I've also wasted tens of thousands of dollars on “experts” that turned out to be frauds and stole my money.

The information and contacts I'm sharing with you will cut years off your learning curve and save you the time, hassle, frustration, and considerable expense of having to literally circle the globe in search of your own team of experts.

But even though I firmly believe this resource is worth a bare minimum of $10,000.00 (You'd pay MORE than that for a day of consulting with each of these hand-picked experts), I know few people would be willing to make that level of investment.

Those who attended the live Workshop in Panama City, Panama, invested as much as $4,995.00 and that doesn't even include airfare, several nights at the 5-star hotel where the event was held, meals, and other incidental expenses. When you invest in the Sovereign Man Offshore Kit and have it delivered to your front door, you won't even have to deal with any of these hassles or incur any of these extra expenses.

At this point, I really want to help as many people as possible and get them started down the path of planting multiple flags and positioning themselves to not just survive, but the thrive an prosper…so I've decided to set the investment at just $1,495. That's a pittance compared to the price I paid to gather this information and probably one-fourth of the $6,000.00 many attendees invested. When you look at it that way, you're getting this valuable information at a whopping 75% DISCOUNT!

But I'm going to do even better than that! For a short time, I've decided to give you an even better deal. This “Do-It-From-Home” Action Kit is hot off the presses and I sincerely believe in the importance of planting multiple flags.

I eat, sleep, live, and breath sovereign issues and I don't want a few bucks to stop anyone who's serious from taking action…so for a LIMITED TIME, I'm drastically reducing the investment to JUST $995.

I can't guarantee how long I will keep the investment this low but I guarantee that at some point I will raise the price of this Offshore Kit to it's true value so please don't hesitate to ACT NOW if you're serious or you risk missing out on this deal and paying more later.

Failing to take advantage of this opportunity right now could end up costing you a heck of a lot more than the small $995 investment you make today.

Think about it.

How much money do you have in your 401(k) or IRA?

I'm willing to bet it's considerably more than $995. You already know the US government is desperately looking for money and has its eyes fixed on the $13 TRILLION in retirement accounts.

Are you willing to take the risk of letting the government manage your money? Or would you rather do the smart thing and take action NOW to get your money out of their reach FOREVER?

Go ahead and click on the button below to get started TODAY! You'll be glad you did.

There is NO RISK at all. You are completely covered by my…

If you're still on the fence, I'm going to make this a real no-brainer for anyone who can make a decision and act quickly. The first 97 people to respond will also receive…

• How to establish your own offshore trust without a lawyer or expensive fees. (Page 3)

• And much MORE...

You even get an introduction to the number-one licensed trust company in the jurisdiction I recommend.

Fast Action BONUS #3: Two free months of our exclusive FOURTH PILLAR publication (a $299.00 Value)

George Soros is down 6% this year. John Paulson is down 7%. Sovereign Man Chief Investment Strategist Tim Staermose is UP 7% since March… and he does it with a CONSISTENT, LOW-RISK, PROVEN investment strategy he calls The Fourth Pillar:

Tim's primary focus is SAFETY. He hates losing money, and he doesn't swing for the fences with high risk speculations. His system, developed over years of experience, has allowed him to retire, relying completely on passive, investment income. 

Junior mining stocks? No thanks. Sure, the profits can be spectacular. But we've all been burned way too many times by snake oil salesmen newsletter writers and shady business practices in the industry. You need a gut made of iron to ride out the ups and downs in these stocks.

High-flying tech stocks? Again, when you latch onto the right one, the ride up can be spectacular. But, it's a crapshoot. For every Google or Facebook, there are thousands of also-rans that never amount to a hill of beans.

Tim's system works on merger ARBITRAGE.  Not only has this strategy provided annualized returns of 20% to 30% per year, but there is extremely low volatility.  Even Warren Buffet considers this strategy to be like a cash equivalent.

Tim's trading system is closed to new subscribers… but in this special offer, we'll give you two free months of his 4th Pillar alert service with your purchase of theOffshore Kit.After two months, we'll bill your card at the monthly rate of $149, or you can choose to discontinue your subscription immediately, no questions asked.
