Until recently, stories like Jamie's were rare... Now, they are all too familiar - and likely to become more so unless regular folks rise up and refuse to accept the total destruction of our values and way of life. Jamie McIntyre is the founder of the Australian National Review - and the founder of a political party intended to reveal how insanely corrupt the political systems of the West hav...

I ran into the man behind the now-famous Green Chicken known as Doomberg - the #1 editorial newsletter on energy markets on Substack. To subscribe to Doomberg, the #1 newsletter on Substack, go here In this podcast, I talk to the Green Chicken about: The Four Laws of Energy Why the "arc" of energy demand is "forever up and to the right" Why conservation in places like Europe an...

The evidence is overwhelming... Human beings cannot handle excessive comfort.  What was the actual moment the US departed from its opportunity to be the shining city on a hill?  I mark the 1890s—specifically, the Spanish-American War when the US kicked Spain out of the Americas. Why?  The decision to embark on the road to empire is incommensurate with freedom at home. I understood this by instinct...

There are great places you can go to solve your #1 problem: Your physical protection and the preservation of your wealth. But more than wealth - or even personal security - there is an asset you must "own" for the rest of the 2020s and beyond. I'm talking about... Community. If you want to join a community of action-takers - folks who are the opposite of victims...  and the exact ki...

In times of chaos - like today - there is a strong instinct to either hunker in place or bug out. I think the debate around these two options focuses on the wrong question. Here's what I mean... It's not Stay OR Go. It's not an either-or question. It's "and." You need to be able to stay in place when trouble hits... AND go when it's time to get outta Dodge. You n...

Bullet Proof Plan B - FREE Report https://www.expatphyles.org/download-here-bullet-proof-plan-b The recession is here. But unlike all previous downturns, this one is special. This time, it really is different. Why?  Because the currency itself will now be the release valve. The currency you are trying to save in is no longer a permanent store of value.  That's the big no-brainer. If you still...

Bullet Proof Plan B - FREE Report https://www.expatphyles.org/download-here-bullet-proof-plan-b My recent trip to Medellin was a blast.  It supports my thesis that Latin America will be the place to go for North Americans seeking a haven from the woes of a collapsing society and maniacal government over-reach. In addition to the seven things I share in this podcast, I forgot to mention the most ob...

There is no winning a war with Russia. So what’s going on? The real purpose of forever wars is not to win a war (which the US hasn’t done in quite some decades now). The real purpose of provoking Russia is to keep the world on a war footing. When war is declared, your home government will have all the justification it needs to crack down on dissent and opposition at home. War with Russia isn’t abo...

Less than two weeks after her election (but before her actual inauguration), Sheinbaum’s Mexico is changing. A recent memo was circulated proposing a ban on Father’s Day. A ban on Father’s Day in Mexico - because… wait for it… inclusion, diversity, equity… blah, blah, blah. I also tell you why I don’t think the culture war will necessarily make any inroads in Mexico - and why Claudia Sheinbaum is...

Here's a quick rundown of the three primary layers of protection that safeguard your wealth from the coming chaos. Your government is not your friend. In fact, it is the #1 risk to your legacy money. That's why you need to protect yourself from political risk in your home country. This video explains how easy it is to do that. Put some money outside the US banking system. Put money outsi...

Here's how I scored a huge win on my first real estate investment. I also reveal my six top locations for making mad gains on Latin American real estate. At the end, I tell you the single most important criterion for choosing the right location. You can buy real estate in some of my favorite locations at a discount right now.  Cabo - why it’s going up and why you want to get in if you can. Ri...

There is a debate about whether it is best to stay put and “shelter in place” as chaos hits… or go abroad and look for a place more likely to remain peaceful… where you and your family can live a reasonable quality of life while trouble plays out and gets resolved in North America.   Should you stay or go? Is it better to remain in your home country - or are you better off creating an internationa...

Not all locations are created equal. If you’re paying attention to what’s happening in the world, you know there are places you don’t want to be. In this video, I’m going to share with you why the Americas will continue to be THE place to be.  Reason #1 is not obvious… Lots of Latin America is just now starting to industrialize. That means the one-time gift of industrialization is just now appeari...

Three main trends all lead to one outcome. If you add them all up, you get a flashing red siren telling you it’s time to hit the road. War is coming. It’s here if you are paying attention. It’s coming and it won’t spare North America this time. Once war is declared, you will not be able to do what you need to protect yourself. Make your move now before your civil liberties go out the window and yo...

A big shift took place in the last 25 years. Today, it’s easier - and more important - than ever to create an international lifestyle… even if you decide never to leave home. At a minimum, you need to protect your wealth from the #1 risk you face today… your home government.  There’s now a level of freedom available to regular folks most people still don’t know about. It does NOT require millions...

Alex Krainer has a thing or two to say about the massive changes overtaking the West. He grew up in communist Yugoslavia and now runs money in Monaco. So you might say he’s seen both of the dominant approaches to government on offer in the world today. He also wrote a book about the rape of Russia in the 1990s when the Soviet Union fell. It’s titled, Grand Deception: The Browder Hoax . I would lik...

Simon Hunt is a noted geo-political, macro analyst with a strange ability to make big calls… and get it right. He’s worked in Africa, China and the Americas and currently lives in Dubai - which is where I caught up with him. When Simon speaks, it pays to listen. So I asked him to come on and tell us what he sees and what’s coming next. Strap in… The big picture as Simon sees it… the BRICS threat t...

J Robertson is the most unusual guy in the public policy world. Whereas most of his professional peers are busy trying to take part in more disastrous policies that make life worse for you and me. J decided he would go his own way… J understands the governance and governments are both broken. But making meaningful change is almost impossible within the system. So J and his team went around all the...

Today, we hear from James Guzman, international man and global insurance expert. James has done it all. US Navy… International business degree… Real Estate agent and investor… and now global medical insurance expert.  Like us, James prefers the expat life and recently moved to one of my favorite spots… San Miguel de Allende in Guanajuato, Mexico. I caught up with James because I wanted my audience...

John Alton went to China to teach at Beijing University in 1987. In 1989, he was chased out of the country - and even shot at with a .50 caliber machine gun on his way to the airport.  But before the Tiananmen Square disaster was beamed all over the world, John had the incredible good fortune to be part of the greatest flowering of Qigong collaboration in Chinese history. Qigong is Chinese exercis...

I just got back from a hidden gem of a community in southern Mexico of all places. I made a shocking discovery which I'll tell you about in the video.  But the main gist of my trip was that I found a lively community in a delightful region with a fabulous climate surrounded by plenty of resources and hard working folks.  That ticks a lot of boxes for the years ahead. The people in Chiapas are...
