How Our Right To Travel Became a Bureaucratic Ordeal

Posted on by

“Last week, my vacationing family was stopped at not one, but two, internal checkpoints along Interstate 8 in Arizona and California and questioned about our citizenship.  As recently as eight years ago, I drove to and from a house rental in Puerto Peñasco, Mexico, with no identification beyond my driver’s license. Since 2009, though, a passport or similar document has been required to cross back into the United States from anywhere. Nominally an internationally recognized right, travel of all sorts has become creepingly bureaucratized in recent decades to an extent that has completely transformed the act of going from one place to another.”

David Galland: Three Reasons the Case for Gold Remains Intact

Posted on by

“While it’s nice to see gold bounce off recent lows and stage a rally of late, short-term price action is of little personal concern as I don’t trade the physical metals: I own them as a long-term insurance against further currency depreciation. In that regard, however, it’s worth periodically pondering whether the base case for holding gold – or any asset, for that matter – remains intact. Here are three quick observations on why I think the gold bull is still well intact.”

The Best Quality Of Life In The World: Residency & Citizenship In Austria

Posted on by

“This country offers an excellent quality of life as well as a safe and healthy environment. In fact, Austria boasts one of the highest standards of living of any country in the world. The Mercer Consulting group, in particular, has ranked Vienna, as the city with the world’s highest quality of life for the past three years running. Note that Austrian residency and citizenship bring other, more practical advantages. Austria is one of 25 European states that are part of the ‘Schengen agreement.’ A resident or citizen of one Schengen country enjoys visa-free travel to all other Schengen countries. In addition, an Austrian passport has a very good global reputation.”

A Real Life Thelma and Louise: the US and the EU

Posted on by

“To be sure, there have been many warning signs along the road to indicate that to exit the car might have been a good idea, but, for whatever reasons, they did not. Now, it is becoming increasingly apparent to a larger number of people that the joy ride is soon to end, and end rather badly. As such, it would be understandable if we were to see the passengers in the back of the car request that they be let out. As Europe has some 740,000,000 inhabitants and the US has a further 310,000,000, even if only one percent chose to make an exit at some time in the next few years, this would mean an exodus which would be unprecedented in world history.”

Does This Make America Less Free Than Slovakia?

Posted on by

“Would your grandparents have ever said that Slovakia is freer than America? Most likely not, but today the story is a little different.  Decent Americans have their lives ruined, their business closed, their property confiscated, and often wind up in jail simply because they want to produce clean milk for people who realize what a load of rubbish pasteurized ‘milk’ is.   In Slovakia, a country that has been little more than two decades out of authoritarian rule, we see a very different picture and boy does that make me scratch my head, because the country I grew up considering the freest country in the world really doesn’t sound like it in this example.”

David Galland: The Other Side of the Wall

Posted on by

“When we arrived in Cafayate, it was with some entirely natural trepidation. After all, not only were we going to be living in a remote corner of Argentina, we were bringing along our teenage kids with all that that implies. We pondered all manner of questions and concerns. Would our stumbling knowledge of the local lingo prove a hamper? Would the highly dysfunctional government hereabouts be an impediment at every turn, the bureaucracy frustrating? Would the kids adapt to the new environment and be able to get a good education? Yet, never ones to worry ourselves into inaction, we plowed ahead and on October 22 set down our bags in Cafayate.”

Doug Casey: Conspiracies, Gold and the Continuing ‘Greater Depression’

Posted on by

Doug Casey’s Primer on Internationalization — International Man

“On a personal level, try to produce more than you consume. Keep your savings in gold, not in currencies. Diversify internationally because your biggest risks today are political, not market risks, not investment risks. The investment risks today are huge because with governments all over the world creating trillions in new currency units they’ve driven stock markets to what I think are unsustainable levels. They’ve driven the bond markets to become the biggest bubble in world history. The bond markets are in a bigger bubble now than tech stocks were in the year 2000 or real estate was in the year 2007. Think like a speculator, because they’re going to ignite lots more bubbles.”
