<h2><b>CONCLUSION</b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Veritas Panama is a project I have been deeply involved with for close to two years now, and I am so thrilled to finally be able to present it to the Expat Money audience. I founded this company to find </span><b>real solutions</b><span style="font-weight: 400"> to the problems faced by freedom-seekers around the world, and Veritas Panama is a direct response to the type of concerns I hear all the time. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">As much of the world’s political elite prepares to usher in a dystopian nightmare flush with draconian “solutions” like CBDCs, Digital IDs and “15-minute cities’, we are forming a strong, self-sufficient community in Panama that will be immune to many of these machinations. </span></p>
<p>If you want to become a part of this community, email <a href="mailto:expat@EcoVillages.life"><span style="font-weight: 400">expat@EcoVillages.life</span></a> right away to secure your lot.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">I hope you enjoyed this presentation, and tune in to a special bonus episode tomorrow for Part Two, where we’ll share the question-and answer portion of this presentation. </span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400">As we discussed in the episode, many of Doug’s predictions from our first conversation six years ago have, in fact, come true, and we would all be wise to listen to what he foresees in 2024 and beyond. </span></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><b>TODAY&#8217;S CONVERSATION WITH LAURENCE EASEMAN</b></h2>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">Listen as Laurence recounts his fateful trip up a mountain that changed his life and led to him pivoting away from filmmaking into becoming a full-time advocate for personal sovereignty. </span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">Hear how the onset of the COVID regime shut down Laurence’s business in the UK and triggered him back into full-time activism and his current efforts on the “Eyes Wide Open” podcast.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">We discuss the concept of activism &#8211; how it can make you a “moving target” like Laurence and why I </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400">do not </span></i><span style="font-weight: 400">consider myself an activist. </span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">Find out why Laurence has embarked on his own expat journey and is currently pursuing residency in Portugal.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">Listen in to hear how Portugal got put on the “red list” by the UK, banning its citizens from travelling there for not initially fully going along with the COVID narrative. </span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">Hear Laurence break down how the powers that be utilize their </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400">illusion of authority </span></i><span style="font-weight: 400">to manufacture consent for tyrannical measures. </span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">Laurence and I talk about the dark side of technology and why we both find value in places that are somewhat “backward in time” with their technological systems. </span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">We discuss the absolute flood of Canadians fleeing during the last few years of the Trudeau regime, reflected in the fact that Canadians are now taking up the </span><b>majority</b><span style="font-weight: 400"> of my private clients. </span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">Lastly, Laurence and I share in our passion for using homeschooling as a strategy to shield our children from psyops while depriving the state of its essential workers. </span></li>
</ul>

<h2><b>CONCLUSION</b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">I had a blast speaking to a kindred spirit in Laurence Easeman, who shares my passion for individual liberty and personal responsibility. It’s no wonder he is climbing so quickly in the podcast world, as his insights and understanding of the systems of control in place &#8211; and, more importantly, how to deal with them &#8211; are second to none. </span></p>
