A host of emails have come in on this subject from did non-Americans have assets seized by USA after 1934 to can real estate be used to the extreme won’t they just confiscate all traceable assets. If you are going to look at real estate to shelter assets, you should look at Texas and Florida. Typically, […]

QUESTION: Dear Marty, You mention getting off the grid – but with technology –  today – how is ownership of anything ‘getting off the grid’? If governments truly want to hunt down global wealth and tax it – how is owning a house in London or a farm in NZ going to help anyone – […]

QUESTION: Hi Mr.  Armstrong, You have been saying that we must crash and burn before anything will change for the better long term, because never before in history has a corrupt government willingly given up its power. I wonder though, never before in history, at least to my knowledge (which is very limited compared to your […]

QUESTION: Mr. Armstrong; You state that we are headed more toward a totalitarian state rather than fascist or communist state.

QUESTION: Marty, I want to thank you for saving me from the nonsense of the goldbugs. They go on and on about one-world governments and manipulations and that is their excuse for being wrong.
