It is time -- arguably, it is past time -- for you to get your family and your wealth safely outside the borders of the United States. America has become a police state that is moving quickly toward total surveillance and, in typical American fashion, the resulting society will almost certainly be the "the best and the biggest" tyranny in the world. Make plans right now while opportunities still exist to secure your wealth outside of the authorities' rapacious reach because that door of opportunity may be slammed in your face in the near future. It is not merely that government at all levels is starving for the cash that's dried up from property taxes and, so, will steal and confiscate like a drunken highwayman. Many factors point to rise of the Total State, which will grind up your freedom, your future and the lives of those who resist. I read about 12 news sources a day, from far-left to the Religious Right; month by month, there is a dramatic increase in reports of police brutality, government surveillance, crack-downs, the control of daily life down to the minutia of which oils you may cook french fries... And there seems to be precious little opposition to the arrival of totalitarianism. Perhaps the flood of oppression is too overwhelming and has caused a general paralysis; at times, that is my reaction. But, mostly, I think people are either focused on financial survival or they actually applaud the Total State. Even those who believe they believe in freedom are among the applauders because they buy the justifications being offered for the annihilation of civil liberties. For example, consider just one of the incredible and successful assaults on the due process and liberties of us all; in the name of defending women and children, the campaign against sex offenders has created a class of "untouchables" in class-free America -- people whom the government tells where to live, how to make a living, which sites they can e-visit, etc., etc. In the name of noble goals, the government has erased the idea of serving out a time in jail (which used to be called "paying your debt to society") and, instead, established the idea of indefinite sentences and 'forever' punishments.But the establishment of this caste system is just one aspect of the wild plunge into tyranny. What should worry you the most is that everything has occurred before the economic collapse of the United States, which I believe will happen in the near future. (The timing depends somewhat on when "too many" foreign-held dollars are dumped back into America.) I expect a severe depression to unfold over the next few years. And nothing, nothing, nothing encourages the growth of State as much as people who are frightened and hungry/homeless. An entire population can turn to a leader much as children turn toward a parent...and for the same reason: to feel safe. If an economic depression is added to the convergence of the police state with a total surveillance society, then I honestly don't know what will happen. But I do know that you don't want to be there to find out. Don't be fooled by those who say "but America has too strong a tradition of freedom for this to happen." Pre-Nazi Germans thought their culture was too sophisticated and fine to allow the triumph of barbarism. Leave.

Where should we move to? When Germans were fleeing Nazi Germany, were they called unpatriotic? They were saving their own behinds! I choose not to associate myself with this present government any longer. Many countries in South America and Europe seem to be either partial allies with the US (England) or are dependent on the US dollar (Costa Rica, for example).That can be bad Where can I take my family that is SOMEWHAT safe? I am not looking for America II (it does not exist), but a place that respects human rights and property? (Am I asking too much?)
Good question. When you find out the name of the "better" place, let us know. The Hollywood dim bulbs have announced in the past that if so and so gets elected to the Oval Office, they will leave the country. But they're still here. So even they with all the $ they have at their disposal, realize that America is the best nation in the world, that it's only DC that emits the stinky poopie smell.
Those who don't want to leave and are willing to fight should stay and break off their own country.
I'd like to expand on that idea, if I may. I propose that there is a fundamental equation to be considered, that simply stated would say "the bigger the country, the less likely it is to represent its citizens". I submit that it is simply not possible for any nation to be much larger than about ten to fifteen million people before the simple mechanics of population versus power brokers gets so out of whack that it becomes effectively impossible for a nation to represent the people it's supposed to serve. I realize we were supposed to be the "United States of America", with separate states having most of the power, and a limited federal government, but I think we can all agree that as of now that was obviously a dreadfully flawed concept that could never work over the long run. I suggest that "We The People" would be MUCH better served if the U.S. were to break apart into about thirty or more smaller countries, and by that I mean TOTALLY SOVEREIGN and SEPARATE COUNTRIES that maintain friendly relations, and could even enjoy the benefits of "free trade", common standards for roads and power grids, sanitation standards etc. while maintaining SEPARATE governments, SEPARATE currencies and SEPARATE economies. This could also become a possible opportunity to begin reining in the unimaginable power of trans-national corporations. Just a thought.
The Republicrats and their Zionist leaders are committed to America's war against Israel's enemies in the Middle East for the long haul. The existence of Israel is dependent on America; the quislings in Congress and whatever suckpoop goy happens to be sitting in the Oval Office will not hesitated to re- institute the draft if the war goes badly, say, Baghdad becomes a Stalingrad and or the US heartland endures terror attacks. The Zionist in charge of America will not permit rebellion; as a last resort foreign troops could be called in to restore law and order. Gulags are already in place across America.

That'll make it easier than shooting our own that have gone bad.
