If You Leave the U.S. Permanently, Where Should You Go?
Daily Reckoning ^ | 12/09/11 | Gary Gibson

You see, people are fed up. Not just with economic conditions. But with the political ones. We suspect that that frustration is tinged with fear. We know it is in our case.

The state is growing outright despotic…tyrannical. You have congressmen who make no bones about telling us that we should all be subject to arrest and detention by the military. This at a time when the definition of “terrorism” is expanding to include any activity that annoys the political class.

The government has been in the business of prohibiting personal behaviors, regulating

professional ones and eating out our substance since the beginning. It’s all only gotten worse over time.

But now the state is showing its true face. And it’s so horrible that many of us feel compelled to flee for our lives.

I know Iceland is difficult to become a citizen.
The others are just thoughts as of now, not true plans yet.
Costa Rica is beautiful...I hear.
I have a solid background in utility distribution work.
Hopefully it’s in demand in all locations.
We’ll see.

I apologize.

My Sicilian temper beats my logical brain by about 5 to 10 seconds.

And by then it’s too late :(

Ciao!

I would never have clicked post on a comment like that. Voltron! Yeah! Why didn’t I think of that?

Greg Abbott should do something about that.....

Patrol boats on the Rio Grande, deputize millions of Texas volunteers, etc.

I actually wiped everything from my homepage several weeks ago.

I’m not worried about the FBI. I just made it harder for an antifa type to figure out who I am if they infiltrate this site.

My grandfather’s home village is in eastern Hungary. I’ve thought about it, but I’m not learning that messed up language. It’s crazy heh.

It’s in Central America, right below Mexico and beside the Caribbean Sea.

Climate is as just as you suspect, which is why it’s second on my list and not first. I don’t like hot tropical climates either.

I e spent a total of two months in Guatemala and about three weeks in Nicaragua, and both are lovely countries where you can live on the cheap. Steer clear of drugs and those involved with drugs (especially cops and informants) and one could live quite well.

Both country’s governments are too poor to oppress. Especially outside of cities. Simple as that. Those are my pick. A completely different life than here. Simpler. Better in many respects if one is reasonably healthy, flexible and can appreciate beauty and comeraderie and simplicity. Sunsets that defy imalgination, fantastic food raised near you, no PC bullshit and much more freedom to do as you please.

That’s what I’ve been told as well.

English is official language
Part of the UK Commonwealth
Low cost of living
Fairly easy to get back to the US mainland

Only if we were forced into exile the way the Shah of Iran was (bad example) until I returned victorious with my hundreds of millions fellow patriots to take back our “Beautiful land”... I would pick Pearth, western Australia... Second choice Nanaimo, Vancouver Island, B.C .... Third would have to be Jerusalem, if they’ll have me. Have a ringside seat to watch true miracles breaking or watch the world melt down when it slides into Armageddon.

Much worse. At the time these two brothers rented a place every winter for years, this one year a new house keeper tipped of some hombres that they had cash and other tradable assets.
The rest is history

Steven Ines Hartling, 54, died Jan. 16, 2002,

From AM Costa Rica:
because robbers used a phony employee to trick their way into the Alajuela home. Hartling, a recently arrived tourist, just happened to be in a home where the owner hired a woman as a domestic worker the day before. Both the woman and her male companion got 25 years in prison.

25 Years for murder.....Nice place to visit, live not for me

There are plenty of places where one can go and live well and safely, but the problem is paying for it.

You can get a residential visa in many countries. These have foreign retiree or investors visas which are easy to get, if you have the money.

If one has the wealth sufficient to live off non-US investments, then no problem. Move your money to country X and put it into whatever investments there seem like they will retain value in a global economic crisis.

Living off US investments or fixed incomes such as pensions - problem. Your fate is tied to that of the US. You could easily become destitute abroad if things go very bad in the US.

Working in another country, thats a problem. Most won’t let you on a residential visa.

Mexico is an option.

There have been mass border waves in the past while Abbott was governor and he did nothing but talk.
