In the last week alone I have received three emails from Australians seeking advice on how to emigrate from Australia. I recently made a joke that I should set up a consultancy firm to do this, but for anyone with the experience that I have in this area that is now a real potential to make some money. I am not going to do so, however, as I do not have the time or inclination, and nor do I want the added responsibility. Moving overseas is hard and a lot of people can’t make it stick. I have the feeling that the consultancy firm that helped someone to make their failed move would come under some legal pressure. So I’m not interested.
If the inquiries that I am receiving are a snapshot of the broader world at large then there must be an awful lot of folks trying to work out right now how to get out of their native lands. As an example, this opinion piece by Linh Dinh explores the general lunacy that is ongoing from his own perspective as a world traveler on the cheap with a nuanced eye for the people with whom he comes into contact. But it was the comments after the piece that caught my eye.
Hi Linh, Great essay, for us (olga an I) we are thinking about moving to Spain, which the Supreme Court has outlawed Vaccine passports and Lockdowns! It’s a pain in the ass at my age but must be done to survive! Cheers, Tom from France
How many more people now find themselves in the same boat? A good many I would wager. But this raises the inherent riskiness of moving at the present time. Not only is it costly to move but with the governments of the world flip-flopping from one extreme position to another during this fake pandemic, you might discover that the safe Covid haven to which you have recently arrived suddenly becomes a Covid pariah state literally overnight.
There is also the uncomfortable nugget of truth that the time to move has already come and gone. I left Australia finally for good in 2017, and my driving motivation was to excuse myself from the totalitarian state that the country had become. Covid has not transformed Australia into a totalitarian state. Rather, it has revealed what was always there. For anyone who has spent a reasonable amount of time living overseas, coming back to Australia is a very rude shock. For example, no other country in the world, except perhaps the United Kingdom, devotes itself with such glee to the process of trying to catch its citizens in the act of driving a vehicle after a couple of drinks. I drive about 25,000 kilometers a year, and after four years in The Netherlands the total number of times that I have been stopped by the police is zero. In ten years in Italy I got stopped twice and both times I charmingly talked my way out of a ticket.
The way that Australians live and what they put up with from governments and government entities at all levels is not normal. As I said, this was very clear to me and so I left. That was the time to leave. I don’t know if the moment has passed but if you do want to pick up sticks and move overseas the biggest obstacle to your successful escape is choosing a destination. Exactly where do you go?
I think the globalist elites want there to be no place to escape to. So we are cornered.
To a Christian country.
(Look up the Visegrad Group.)
The Biden admin would never allow them to come here. Two strikes against them: Wrong color (white), and wrong reason for leaving (to escape prog fascist tyranny).
It will be cheaper, and more permanent to arm them.
Interesting. I hadn’t heard of them before .

“Get Yourself A 30-Footer And Go” by Matt Bracken

You don’t have to fly (seeking govt approval and vax passports at every step!) directly from Country A to Country Y. You can decide to become an oceanic nomad, escaping the rat-wheel entirely, with the flexibility to adjust your destination along the way. The house you sell today will pay for an ocean-going Escape Pod.
The 30-Footer of the essay title is just a suggestion for an alienated young man of few means. If you own a house, or most of a house, you can afford a 40+ food ocean-going sailboat, and set yourself free.
I’m not sure even with a fully armed well stocked and super fast hundred footer that I would be willing to suffer the possible injustice of the various ocean police forces. The only haven I see is certain places in the United States of America with well armed and virtuous populace under the authority and rule of law of The Constitution, Declaration of Independence, and Bill of Rights.
In the 1960-70's due to the Nam War, a lot of Americans fled to Canada. Now Canada is basically a no go left wing hell hole with their Covid-1984 B$!.
Australia and NZ are even worse. GB is expensive, and they really don't American retirees flooding their country and poor healthcare system.
Spain might be a possibility now. Who knows in the future if that country will become another liberal hellhole, unless you are a super rich elite member.
Mexico used to be a place a lot of Americans went to retire.
About 30 years ago, Australia and NZ sought grads of good ag schools in the US. The higher the degree, the more they were allowed in. If they used that degree to teach and use in their ag businesses.
About 2 years ago, a lot of those people started leaving Australia and or NZ to come back to the states. They were concerned about the controls the national and local governments were using to rule and control the people.
Closer ties with the ChiComs. Were also, a big concern. They could see themselves replaced with a ChiCom ag expert.
Maybe Australia will fall after Taiwan?
Convert to Islam and marry your sibling should work.
For tater.
I am curious how hard it is to get a work visa in those countries. As long as they continue to be strong/independent. I would consider Japan also. Free, independent, non-globalists are the top of my list.
I have no doubt that Japan is a beautiful place to live, but Christianity doesn’t play the role there that it does in the Visegrad countries.
