You either stay in the 'game' and make your effort or you QUIT and walk away, but you sure don't have the right to stand around and tell others that are still in how they should play!
Realization #4 - You cannot escape the global police state
***Revelation 13:4
“Who is like the beast? Who can wage war against it?”
I think it would make more sense to go to Texas or Oklahoma.
Good Case for staying but, Chile ain’t so bad. Very much like where I live, California. I Hable e entiende Espanol pretty well and even better after I’ve been any place three days or drunk.
The key to language is not to be concerened with getting it right or worried about getting wrong. Just speak. They’ll understand and may offer some correction to help the next time. I’ve never had anyone tell my Spanish sucks except the Spanish and a friend from Argentina. But, WTF do they know? They are actually Italians and I make fun of them for it.
Chile is the only country in S. America that is modern in every way that America was just 20 years ago.
Still, they do have military checks and handing out a fistful of $1’s in $20 piles gets you waved fairly quickly through check points.
They absolutely do not like having their pictures taken, no matter how friendly you are.
If I had to pick a 2nd citizenship country, Chile is #1 ... for me. Yo Dos Centavos...
?
Keep the faith. Stand your ground.
To paraphrase Dante (and, being reminded of Reagan’s view of America as the worlds last, best hope): “All ye who exit here, abandon hope.”
No. The reality is this: If you are placing your stock and confidence in this world, then America is the place where you must take your stand. To go anyplace else and think that what is happening here won’t “catch you up” there, is, in my view, an error in judgment. In America alone, the exercise of liberty has found its greatest expression. Do not expect to find anything resembling its (liberty’s) equal anywhere else.
Find a community of Old School Americans and make friends, hunt together, volunteer as a firefighter, get involved, do what you have to do to know everyone, and learn whom you can trust and who has your back and whose back you'll have on that black day when the government throws the switch and kills the internet/cell service to the entire region and the battery operated radios are reporting either static or telling people to stay inside their homes - that's the day the balloon goes up and the jackboots are already en route.
I have never read anything so imaginative.
Realization #1 - Corruption is far worse outside the USA
Wrong. The U.S. is one of the most corrupt countries in the world right now…and has been for many, many years.
Realization #2 - Many cultures do not practice long-term preparedness thinking
Because they use common sense. When the U.S. was running around in a panic attack about Y2K, no country south of the border gave it any attention. Guess who lost?
Realization #3 - Don’t be the foreigner
?
Whatever that means. I give up.
Realization #4 - You cannot escape the global police state
What are you talking about? Panama does not know what that is or means.
Realization #5 - You are far safer to hunker down than try to go mobile
No you’re not…bad/wrong advice.
Quit spreading misinformation!!!!
When I look at what is going on in states other than mine I think I am already living in a foreign country. I believe I will stay right where I am at. Texas is the only other place I would consider.
