Because it worked so well for Stalin...

March 14, 2013
Santiago, Chile

Five-year plans in the Land of the Free? Apparently it's not that far off from reality.

Yesterday Senator Tom Harkin introduced S. 544, "a bill to require the President to develop a comprehensive national manufacturing strategy."

In effect, Senator Harkin wants the President to centrally plan the economy. Never mind that the President has zero experience in business or manufacturing. But hey, this worked out so well for Stalinist Russia, it's no wonder Mr. Harkin wants to copy that model.

Not to be outdone by Mr. Harkin's long-sighted vision, President Obama is drawing up plans to turn over Americans' financial data to the nation's spy agencies. So now, on top of everyone else, law-abiding citizens in the Land of the Free can count on the CIA and NSA combing through their bank statements.

Of course, it's all for your protection against men in caves who wish to do you harm.

This is the same reason they irradiate and/or sexually assault airline passengers. It's why they have to be able to assassinate Americans on US soil by remote control plane. It's why they've authorized military detention of US citizens. Etc.

When you step back and look at the big picture, it really makes one wonder-- how big of a piano needs to be dropped on people's heads before they notice what's happening..?

I acknowledge that people have roots. I understand that folks can't easily pick up and leave their jobs, friends, and family. I understand there's a lot of inertia involved.

But if you see the writing on the wall, there's so much you can do to protect yourself against this lunacy. Own precious metals, preferably stored overseas. Open a foreign bank account. Ship your retirement savings abroad. Travel a little bit. Know, in advance, where you would go if you finally hit your breaking point and needed to leave the country.

The trend is clear. Every single day the political elite gives us even more evidence that they're working overtime to destroy the economy and what few remaining civil liberties still exist.

It's a difficult truth to acknowledge given that most people have been brainwashed from a very early age in public schools to trust in their government. But placing any amount of confidence in this system utter folly. And dangerous.

There's no need to panic; rather, it's important to take measured, rational action. The above recommendations are not alarmist, they're steps that make sense no matter what happens.

In almost any scenario, you won't be worse off for having gold and silver stashed away overseas. You won't be worse off for traveling abroad and finding a nice place you enjoy. You won't be worse off for taking back control of your retirement savings.

Yet if the bottom falls out, you'll be one of the few people left standing. Unless, of course, you'd rather wait for the next five-year plan to kick in.

 

Until tomorrow,

Meet the guy who can help you make a killing in Chilean property

 

In last month's edition of Sovereign Man: Confidential Simon Black provided subscribers with some of the solutions for the looming agricultural challenges that are affecting food production, as well as an overview of the best places in the world to own high-quality farmland. On top of that, a groundbreaking solution was announced to ship your precious metals to the industry's leading innovator Silver Bullion in Singapore.

 

This month's issue includes:

 

  • An interview with a Chicago-born real-estate investor who lost everything by betting against a bailed-out U.S. property market in 2008-- then recouped many times more by investing in off-the-radar real-estate in Chile. He can help you do the same.
  • An extensive boots on the ground account from Ecuador. The country is still incredibly cheap and continues to operate on maƱana time. For some people it ticks all the boxes required.
  • Ecuadorian real-estate can be an incredible value for money. Some of it is literally dirt-cheap. You can buy a house for only its construction cost, and get acres of very productive agricultural land for free.
  • The extensive coverage of the country also includes updated information on the various ways to obtain residency in Ecuador. The barrier to entry is very low, and, if you want to live there, you can become eligible for citizenship after only three years.
  • This month's issue also includes a thorough overview of buying & selling gold and silver bullion in Hong Kong. From coins to bars, from collectibles and jewelry to ingots-- everything is covered, including storage.
  • The lengthy Q&A section tackles issues such as traveling with gold internationally, the ins and outs of taxation on worldwide income, and corporate tax rates and labor costs in Chile.
