As an increasing number of people realize that their home country is becoming a liability to them, the most common question I hear from them is, \u201cWhat do I have to do to remain where I am and still be assured that I\u2019ll be able to retain both my wealth and my freedom?\u201d<\/p>\n

The simple (and tragic) answer to this question is that there\u00a0is<\/em>\u00a0no such solution. The two objectives are mutually exclusive.<\/p>\n

Throughout the ages, whenever an empire has begun its inevitable collapse, no country has ever woken up and reversed the process. In every case, the government rides the decline to the bottom. And, along the way, a series of policies is invariably undertaken to save those in government in the downward rush. These policies are always at the expense of the populace.<\/p>\n

Invariably, as the decline worsens, governments drag out the same policies that all other failing empires have implemented before them: Devaluation of currency, default on debt, increased warfare, creation of a police state and, finally, the looting of all those citizens who have even a modicum of wealth.<\/p>\n

The question is not whether we like our home country as it presently is, but whether we\u2019re prepared to accept what it\u2019s about to become.<\/strong><\/p>\n

As people become more aware that their government is not only not their friend, but has become their greatest threat, it\u2019s human nature to hope that \u201cit won\u2019t get any worse.\u201d<\/p>\n

And, of course, it then gets worse.<\/p>\n

The great majority of people don\u2019t actually try to escape until they find that they\u2019re now trapped and\u00a0cannot<\/em>\u00a0escape. (Curbing the outward flow is surprisingly easy for any government to achieve – by implying that those emigrating are enemies of the state. This time around, those attempting to exit will be called domestic terrorists.)<\/p>\n
