Hello Folks,
Michael Storm aka “Robinhood” from winnersedgetrading coming in again with another “rant and rave” that some might enjoy and others might hate. Perhaps you might have read my first article and are wondering if I have calmed down a bit… the answer is no, I am still “fed up”, lol.
I have been studying various countries for a few months now, as I am getting ready to leave mine and I saw some good, bad and ugly out there. But a few have really stood out as having really great prospects for growth and freedom. Ah, FREEDOM!!! That is what the soul craves for! That is what the people want!
I do NOT think that normal ordinary Americans like being microwaved with these new untested airport scanners, being felt up by strangers grabbing your private parts. Or worse watching some guy rub his hands all over your wife and kids while you have to sit back and shut up about it cause your fearful of being sued for $10K and besides you REALLY need to get where your going…… Folks, this is B.S. of the HIGHEST possible magnitude! WE are not the terrorists! This is being done under a ruse, to just encroach and steal more freedoms. To just erode more privacy and slap us into submission as a people. I am not an idiot, I have examined it from both sides of the argument. ALL arguments on the reverse side are weak!!!! Embarrassing old men in wheel chairs with steel pins in their legs? Embarrassing cancer victims with breast prosthesis? Embarrassing some teenager and making her pull out her nipple rings? Embarrassing some poor little 3 year old girl and making her cry her eyes out???? COME ON!!!!!!! Give me a break! TSA, you can……. (expletives deleted for the sensitive)!!!! This is making one company very rich. I bet they pushed hard for it. I wonder how much they are getting out of this deal selling these machines?
Enough of that, lets move on to the “meat” of this. As many of you know I have posted a few articles from Simon Black the Sovereign Mans website on twitter. If you have been reading his articles you know he pulls no punches and tells it like it is. The other day I saw an article on 6 countries where freedom still exists. That was a GREAT article. So, pulling a bit from that….. Who WOULDN’T want to go to a place where:
Freedom…. Is strong and the government leaves people alone and privacy and freedom are respected?
Corruption…. Is low and police are well respected rather than feared. (As for Police today in America, I find most of them to be arrogant Jerks and use intimidation tactics.)
Business….. Lots of opportunity, not punishing creativity. (Think about it, starting a business in America is very prohibitive in every way, From the red tape, to the ridiculous regulations, even the hiring now… So much lawsuits against employers your almost scared to take a chance with anyone. Firing them becomes a problem.)
Taxes….. Reasonable. Our taxes in America have pushed most people to the breaking point. The Government is like a giant parasite killing the host! The host is sick. But some countries actually have reasonable taxes. Go figure! What a novel idea! Singapore, rock on!
Immigration….. SOME countries make it easy. Some easier than others. But as I research this its still NOT that easy. I personally do not understand why the cost of entrance into a country is so high and the wait is so long. It is what it is and no country is perfect. This I just have to deal with.
Infrastructure… Lets face it. We ALL like clean and modern roads. We all like internet being stable and affordable. We all like cell phones. I just don’t like the idea of my calls being recorded without so much as a court order. Oh and my internet usage being tracked so now I have to hire a company to encrypt everything. Bummer.
Medical care…. Some countries are the envy of the world here. Singapore is number one and Thailand high on the list. Others are top notch too. Medical tourism is becoming HUGE. People LEAVE America, Canada, and other countries to go to Thailand, Singapore and Mexico to pay just under 20K for double hip replacement surgery come back here and SAVE over 80K. I have read countless stories of top quality surgery out of the US. People are flocking so SAVE. Why? Because our costs are insane, that is why. If these new laws go into effect America’s medical system may become a nightmare. I don’t want it, that is for sure.
Schools. Already covered that in my last article. America is being dumbed down continually. Lowering the SAT’s so some can make the grade. Our school system is a failure. But some countries (only a few) have world class schooling. Nice!
Banking: This is amazing. You can walk into Switzerland and cash a check for 50K without I.D. for it is the check being verified, not you. In America I cant cash a check for 3K without filling out a form, 5k? The next grade of form. 10K??? Heck with that! That one gets mailed right out to the IRS PRONTO! Who wouldn’t like the bank secrecy laws of the Swiss and Belize, Panama, Hong Kong and Singapore? What the heck America? WHO’s money is it????? If the money belongs to you and me, then I would prefer my bank to shut the heck up and stop giving me grief for me accessing my own funds. I don’t enjoy giving my thumb print at some banks to cash a check! Very darn un-cool. 2 forms of I.D. to boot. Would you like a dna sample too!?
What are some other issues plaguing America? I know this is not exhaustive. We have become a perfect “welfare” society. Where the Gov. shells out food stamps, housing assistance, heat assistance, etc… to countless thousands and thousands of people. This is just unsustainable. There are people that have NO incentive to go work, for they are paid more to sit at home than to go work. This is just plain stupid and is only hurting us as a country. America wake UP!!! The Gov. does not “have” to give, it must steal the money from those that work and pass it along to those that do not, it is simply wealth redistribution.
My end point is this. We should vote with our dollars and our bodies. We should vote with our support. Do I support America in all this corruption and wickedness? NO. I do not. Every country SHOULD look at their citizens as partners in a GOAL. What should the goal be? How about to be the BEST! I mean the most desired, beautiful, clean, safe, low crime, business friendly, lowest tax nation on earth! The Most stable economy, the best economic prospects, the happiest citizens, the FREEST nation where liberty REIGNS supreme ! Oh yeah, baby! That’s what I am talking about. How about the most civilized, tolerant, educated, friendliest, happiest people on earth?
Forget the “race to the bottom”. Why would we want to race to the bottom? Why is that even on the news these days, as if this is a good thing? This is stupid. How about a race to the TOP! How about lets see which country on the earth can be the most competitive for the brightest and the best minds on earth? That sounds like a nice race.
Truth be told the people of the world are NOT happy with corruption, crime, rapes, murders, corrupt judges, corrupt lawyers, corrupt politicians! We are NOT happy with our kids being fondled by the TSA or cops in schools, drugs in schools, knives and guns in schools! We are NOT happy with inferior medical at insane prices. We are NOT happy with taxes that absolutely HURT so bad it angers us all year. We are NOT happy that should we decide to paint our house of fix up and beautify our yards that our taxes go up several hundred dollars the very next year! We are NOT happy that we go and buy a new car and get a one thousand dollar tax bill 11 months later! Why punish me for buying a car? Why punish me for fixing my house? We are NOT happy! Lets face it! We are the crummy frog in the water pot! We are the frog that is having the heat turned up slowly but I swear, SOME of the people of this country are really darn uncomfortable and ready to jump right out of the pot. There are those of us that are looking for brighter shores. More opportunity, less corruption, more freedom, less taxes, cleaner air, lower crime. Etc and so on.
The nations of the world should look at it like this. They are in competition. People are going to hunt and look and vote and take themselves out of places that suck and get into places that have bright futures. Next Month I will be leaving. The next article WILL be from the new land. I hope that when I get to that new land, I can have a fresh impact on the people for good and for righteousness. For “a prophet is not without honor, except in his own country…” The people around me are not listening and have deaf ears, cold hearts and no concern. What are your thoughts about this people? How are we going to handle this? What kind of nation will America be for our kids in 20 years when they are going off into the world?
Lastly I will leave you with this: There once was a King. A GREAT King. He went down in history with the greatest nation on earth, the happiest people and the most prosperous kingdom EVER. His name? King Solomon. The Queen of Sheba had heard of his fame and when she showed up to “check it out” she said: “Behold, the half of the story was not told unto me! Happy are your servants… Happy are your people…” etc… and so on. He ruled in righteousness. The scriptures say that those that rule among men are to do so with righteousness.
We are no longer a righteous people. Take a hard look at the puritans and those that stepped off of the mayflower and the early part of our American History. We were a HARD working people! Strong! Men were men! Women were women, loved, honored respected and treasured by real men. We all had a strong work ethic. Honesty was far more in place than today. Used to be a mans word was his bond and a handshake sealed it. Not so now! Children could once play anywhere and roam anywhere and LIVE! Today? You can’t even let them out of your sight for a second in fear some psycho is going to get them. Bye the time they are 13 they are bratty to the extreme and expect the world to hand them everything. Masters at playing computer games or texting their friends but don’t know how to work! No more Values. Where is the nobility that we once had as a people? Long gone, dust in dusty pages of our history. How terribly sad.
Each one of us is faced with this ONE life. “ it is appointed unto man once to die and after this the judgment” How are we doing? What are we standing for? Let EACH one of us STRIVE to be righteous and Godly and go back to the Old Paths that were once laid out for us. Let each of us speak up and do the very best we can as human beings on this earth. Treat our families right, treat our friends right. Be Helpful, be caring, be SOMETHING! We need some fire back in our spirits folks! Really we do. I don’t mean to just rant, and rave and complain. Seriously. I am STRIVING for something. I have a plan. I have weighed it out and counted the cost. I personally want to be all that I can be and to be the very best and die trying. What would it be like if everyone on earth just quit all the corruption and just starting living for the pure sake of righteousness? I think that would be a great place to live in. No matter what country we are in.
So, in conclusion, let us think about this, let us pray about this, let us meditate upon this. We got this one life, what are we going to do with it? How are we going to live? Where are we going to live? How are we going to use it for the best? I know I can’t change everyone, but I can change me. I can be a guide to my family. I am casting my vote! How bout you? Vote!
Till next time……..
