I just got off the phone with an HSBC banking representative. More ominous signs emerge from Canada.
Thinking that it is now definitely wise and prudent to set up a bank account in a second country, outside of the neo-fascist corporate empire’s heartland, of North America, Europe, Australia and New Zealand, I looked up what banks operate in Uruguay, since Uruguay has one of the most stable financial, banking, economic and political systems in the world, and also ranks among the best countries on Earth, for lowest levels of corruption, and highest levels of civil liberties and freedom.
Uruguay also has the highest safety, biggest middle class (by percentage), and the lowest crime, lowest poverty and lowest inequality, in all of Latin America, apparently now doing better in those accounts than the either the US or Canada. All these things make Uruguay a top pick for expats seeking freedom, stability, and peace of mind. I found that HSBC, which also operates in my home country of Canada, has branches in Uruguay’s cosmopolitan capital city of Montevideo. So I called HSBC Canada.
The response, in short, was that “due to high demand for opening bank accounts outside the country, we have suspended that service.” That makes sense. If something is in high demand, naturally you want to suspend that service. She then tried to get me to book an appointment. I then asked if I can definitely set up an HSBC account in Uruguay from Toronto, Canada, or not. She said I can make an appointment to discuss potentials. Typical royal run-around, and creepy corporate obfuscation, as is increasingly the norm. Sounds like Charle’s Dickens’ Office of Circumlocution.
Clearly, the big banks are colluding with the other Davos corporate oligarchs and the political elite to thwart people from taking their money out of the country, in the wake of a corporate fascist coup that is now in progress, across the Western world. This should be a clear red light and alarm bell for anyone with any remaining grey matter functioning.
Next step, call up Nomad Capitalist, or another qualified consultant, and find a work-around, to, at minimum, set up a second bank account, outside of the now neo-fascist Western First World, before it collapses into its new state, as the neo-fascist new Third World.
Do it now, I would strongly advise, and urge.
And no, I get no royalties or commissions from anyone, nor am I endorsing anyone. This is merely a public service message, made out of love, compassion and concern. Nomad Capitalist seems to have solid credentials in this field, judging from Andrew’s videos. But you should, of course, always do your own research, and do your own due diligence. Do it now, however, because the noose is tightening fast.
I would urge people now: Buy gold and silver coins (and take physical possession of them), plant a garden (if you’re not relocating), buy some Bitcoin (and put it in an offline, cold storage wallet, on a key chain in your pocket) - and set up a contingency plan, at least, a Plan B; and set up a second bank account, in a safer country, and now. Certainly you shouldn’t put a dime into pension funds, RRSPS, GICs, mutual funds, stocks, bonds or “savings accounts”. That would be crazy. Those are now money-burning sinkholes and scams. They used to pay good returns, up to the 1970s. But this is not the 1970s. You’d have to be daft, or at least radically out of touch with current realities, to put a single cent into any one of them.
It’s basic math: these toxic “investments” and “savings” schemes are paying at best 1-3% interest, while real inflation is running at 15%, and rising fast. That means 12-14% of your money is being stolen from you by these toxic scams and the business elite who push them like opium- and cyanide-laced candy. As I said, you’d have to be dissociated from reality to put any amount of money into them. Divest from toxic crud now. Move your money. Put into real world assets: gold, silver, a small plot of land, seeds and tools. Do it now. Your window of opportunity is closing fast.
Besides losing money every year and every single day on these now fake “investments” and “savings” schemes, which you are, they are also going to soon be reduced to worthless pieces of paper. Get out now, while you can.
I am speaking here, of course, as I always am, to the minority of people who still have some capacity for rational thought. Unfortunately, the great majority of people in the oh-so-enlightened and “free” West, are positively disociated from reality, and are completely submerged in delusions and denial. They have lost all ability to think critically or even rationally. It is sad to say, but it is an ugly fact of our present time.
The majority of people in the Western world seem to live in a time bubble. It is a bubble of denial and delusion. They seem to act as if they think it is still 1962, or 1972, and the nations of the West are still prosperous, sovereign, stable, predominantly middle class, democratic and free. They are now none of the above. Fifty years of neoliberal globalization, class warfare, economic warfare, deindustrialization, offshoring of manufacturing, profits and production, have made certain of that. And the slow motion corporate-fascist coup, which has proceded quietly along side these very consciously enacted and deliberate, elite-driven macro-economic trends, has made doubly sure of it.
A stubborn refusal to deal with reality is an extremely dangerous state of mind to slip into. And that is precisely the state of mind of the majority of people in the First World, “developed” nations of the West today. The freight train is coming, and is barelling down upon them, while they stare into their cell phones, transfixed and entranced by perpetual distraction, and submerged in propaganda and wishful thinking.
The carnage that is coming is unimaginable. A Greater Depression, combined with an Orwellian crypto-fascism. Pity them. But dare not follow their example. They are in grave danger, and they are sleeping babes, being led to slaughter.
Forget about what your family, friends, peers and neighbours might think. Man the lifeboats now. If they want to sip beers or champagne on the sinking Titanic, as it goes down, let them. You cannot force people to be rational.
Get yourself a back-up plan, at the least. And do it now.
