Again I say, there is some good meat in this article should some of the circumferential fat be trimmed.
Doug Casey was one of the rare winners on the Bre-X gold scandal, which was a complete fraud. AFAIK, he did nothing unethical, he was just on the right side of the trade...short, I assume. Or, very early, and he could afford to exit while the price was on the ascendency. Like 97% of all newsletter authors, his “do what I did and you, too can retire comfortably in [xx] on $350 a month” isn’t for everyone. Nothing is, really.
And, I’m not advocating bailing to another country, though I do not rule it out. It’s certain to mark the emigree as a target, in multiple ways.
Really, the essential nugget I wished to point out by posting the article was just that top-to-bottom, our society has become the reflection of the conclusion that 51% are now predators, takers, and willful saboteurs. There is no longer this exalted principled stance associated with “government service”. “Government service” has become a license to steal and ideally, to build up ones’ bureaucratic defenses against prosecution once one decides to shift the theft from covert to overt. And many of the non-takers are seeing the rewards showered upon the new (not really) uber-criminal class and wondering, “why work for a living?”. It’s pervasive, from bankster to brutha. And it does not bode well.
It seems that if he is carving out a place in Argentina where he can be safe, he has to be making deals with Christina and the gang. His response to Ferfal leaving Argentina for Northern Ireland, that he's a lower level newsletter writer with an axe to grind, was condescending and pathetic. The man ran for the safety of his family. The same thing bothered me about Harry Browne. Most of what he said made sense, but there was always that the peasants will fend for themselves and I must go organize the wine cellar thing .
