Today’s guest is the news editor over at Antiwar dot com and host of the daily podcast Antiwar News with Dave DeCamp. In this episode, we will be discussing the geopolitical situation as we head into a possible World War III scenario.

While it’s not the cheeriest of subjects, this is a necessary conversation to have given the current state of affairs, so I hope you find great value in it.

TODAY’S CONVERSATION WITH DAVE DECAMP

• Listen to Dave recount how he first became a passionate antiwar activist and how he was able to turn that passion into speaking about the subject full-time. 
• Hear Dave break down the current geopolitical situation involving Russia, Ukraine, and the U.S. and its NATO allies, and why we are closer to a hot war situation than at any time during the Cold War. 
• Dave breaks down how the situation between China and Taiwan is escalating simultaneously and how the United States has been sabre-rattling on the Asian front as well.
• Dave and I discuss the role of Elon Musk in providing Starlink support to Ukraine. Is he really a hero, as many libertarians seem to believe, or is he another wolf in sheep’s clothing?
• What would a full-scale war involving the U.S., Russia, or China look like? Dave breaks down the frightening possibilities of “warfare we’ve never seen before.”
• Has World War III already begun? Dave and I discuss the idea that the war has already begun and how the definition of just what constitutes an act of war has shifted so drastically in recent years.
• We discuss Turkey’s unique role as a peace broker and a thorn in the side of NATO in many ways, even while being a member state. 
• What does Vladimir Putin want, and how far is the U.S. willing to continue to escalate its vast funding of the war in Ukraine? Dave and I both ponder these questions.
• We also dig into the role some surprising countries have played in escalating tensions, like my former home Canada and even the supposedly neutral Switzerland.
• Dave and I cap things off by discussing what the best region of the world would be if a full World War really does break out.

CONCLUSION

As much as this is a conversation I didn’t necessarily want to have, I don’t think it helps us any to bury our heads in the sand as some truly dangerous situations play out across the globe. I’ve been listening to Dave’s podcast since he started, and he was the first person that came to mind when I decided I had to do an episode on the topic of a potential World War. I hope the information proves useful to you as you plan your expat journey.

CONCLUSION

What an absolute blast it was talking to Tom! We got sidetracked from my initial topic idea and ended up going in many different directions, and I was thrilled with how it turned out. The topics we touched on in this conversation are of utmost importance, especially to those in the expat community who are tuned in to what is happening worldwide. If you weren’t already, you’ve got to follow Tom Luongo for his take on geopolitics.

Antony Sammeroff is a psychotherapist, economics journalist, the author of Universal Basic Income – For and Against, and the upcoming book Pharma Lie, People Die.

Originally from Scotland, he has spent the past several years since the onset of the UK’s COVId policies living outside the country as a digital nomad in places like Mexico, Costa Rica, Turkey and most recently, India.

TODAY’S CONVERSATION WITH ANTONY SAMMEROFF

• Antony and I discuss the nature of remote work and why Antony had already begun moving his work primarily online even before COVID policies shut the world down.
• Hear Antony describe the onset of the absurd COVID policies in his home country of Scotland and how that propelled him to take his business fully remote and to search for more sane parts of the world to reside in.
• Antony points out an interesting side benefit of the COVID travel restrictions – spending time in a place previously hadn’t planned to – in this case, Mexico.
• Hear Antony describe how the “COVID years” altered people’s sense of what they are allowed to say and has caused many to self-censor with friends, family and the workplace. 
• Antony describes the push for “subjectivity” within his education and profession, which is often a cover for leftist bias within institutions. 
• We discuss what it is like to hold “radical” (sane) positions in today’s post-COVID clown world and how Antony helps people in his practice deal with this feeling of friends, family and institutions acting like they are the crazy ones. 
• Antony and I discuss the concept of natural law and why so many libertarians were able to see through much of the BS of the last several years due to their ability to filter things through the natural law model.
• Hear Anthony’s opinion on “conspiracy theories” and mental health after a member of our Expat Money Forum on Facebook questioned my own mental health due to my emails criticizing the World Economic Forum. Does Antony think I’m nuts? You’ll have to listen to find out!

CONCLUSION

It was great connecting with Antony and learning about how he has helped others cope with this crazy post-COVID clown world we’ve been living in and how he himself coped by leaving his own country and becoming a digital nomad. This conversation was even a bit therapeutic for me – it’s always nice speaking with someone with a similar view of ethics and natural law.  

Antony is a fantastic example of someone who saw greener pastures elsewhere and didn’t hesitate to take life into his own hands and explore them. 

See you all next Wednesday on the podcast!

Today’s episode celebrates 250 episodes of the Expat Money Show!

I can’t believe some of the incredible people I’ve gotten to speak to doing this podcast, many of whom I admired years before this show, were even an idea in my mind.  It occurred to me that many of you hadn’t yet begun your expat journey when I started this podcast back in 2017, and there’s a decent chance you haven’t heard some of the biggest and best interviews that I’ve conducted over the years. 

So this week, we’ll be checking out a sampling of top names I’ve interviewed since starting the Expat Money Show – people like Doug Casey, Grant Cardone, Jim Rogers, and the great Congressman Ron Paul. Enjoy!

Johnny HODL is a freedom advocate, podcast host, and digital nomad originally from the United Kingdom.

In 2021 he decided to permanently leave the UK after becoming disenfranchised by that government’s authoritarian covid policies. He now lives on the sunny Mexican Pacific coast, where he continues to work remotely in the Bitcoin industry.

TODAY’S CONVERSATION WITH JOHNNY HODL

• Listen to Johnny describe the evolution of his political views and how adopting Bitcoin in 2016 led him to a more freedom-oriented philosophy.
• Johnny explains what was the exodus point that prompted him to permanently leave his home country of the United Kingdom.
• Hear Johnny and I discuss the hubris displayed by many in the West supporting lockdowns while many of those in the developing world didn’t have the convenience of “just staying home.”
• We examine why the “soft admission” of guilt over the COVID narrative isn’t enough of a recanting from those supporting it.
• Johnny and I talk about the lack of ethics in the COVID policies implemented and why even if all the data were correct, it would still be a major ethical violation to enforce lockdowns, vaccine mandates, etc.
• Listen to Johnny describe how, once you take the “red pill” regarding the nature of government, it’s hard not to see government at every level as a monopoly on violence.
• I drive home the notion that after 23 years of travelling the world and visiting over 100 countries, voting with your feet, i.e. being an expat and utilizing offshore markets, is absolutely hands down the best solution I have ever found. 
• We discuss how governments around the globe are starting to close their doors in various ways – including the looming threat of CBDCs.
• Johnny provides his view of what “sovereignty” is and how others can reclaim more of their sovereignty as he has by seeking out more freedom abroad.
• Johnny and I both reflect on how, once taking personal responsibility for every single aspect of your life and respect natural law, life simply gets better.
• We have an interesting back-and-forth on the correlation between wealth and happiness. Does the ethics by which the wealth is acquired affect the happiness of those who hold it? I’d love to hear my listener’s thoughts on this!

CONCLUSION

I really enjoyed this conversation with Johnny HODL today, and I’m sure long-time listeners will understand exactly why I see him as a kindred spirit of sorts.

While my focus is on the actions you can take to achieve more freedom as an expat, the ethics behind those actions are vitally important, and it was great to hear about Johnny’s evolution on the subject and how he has now come to see individual sovereignty as an ethical ideal. You’re gonna love this one.

Josh Summers is an expert in online security and identity protection who has lived and worked in Asia since 2006. He has written for Lonely Planet, published his own travel guides, and built multiple online brands that reach tens of millions of people each year.

I am doing my best to stay current on the latest developments in privacy and security, and I was thrilled to speak with Josh, one of the most well-informed voices on these issues.

TODAY’S CONVERSATION WITH JOSH SUMMERS

• Listen in as Josh recounts how living in highly surveilled China led him to take on a more complete understanding of privacy and surveillance issues.
• Josh and I discuss how we bridge the gap between our own personal privacy while still maintaining a personal brand and business.
• Josh explains why he sees himself as a “privacy pragmatist” in how he views finding the right level of achievable privacy for himself and his family.
• Listen as Josh details the 3 different solution sets for privacy – which one is right for you?
• We dig into how to look at the pros and cons of Big Tech companies and how even the biggest Big Tech villain can offer its own privacy advantages. 
• Josh lays out some of the most basic first steps that everyone with a baseline level of privacy concern should take. Have you done these yourself?
• Josh explains the concept of “salting” a password on top of using a password manager. This is a great idea that I’ll be implementing right away!
• Hear Josh emphasize the importance of holding the keys to your own security. Is your security in your own hands or that of a third party?
• Josh and I dig into some of the more advanced techniques for securing your devices. I’ll be curious to hear if my audience has been utilizing any of these tactics!
• We discuss how to navigate the KYC Problem. How can you protect your identity when everyone requires you to prove it?
• Josh breaks down options for an often forgotten piece of the privacy puzzle – protecting your address via virtual addresses.

CONCLUSION

As my listeners know, privacy and security are issues that affect everyone in the age of Big Tech, particularly but not limited to expats. It was great to hear Josh’s perspective on these issues, and as far as I’m concerned, he is one of the best voices for the general public to follow to keep up to date on privacy concerns. 

There was so much great information here that I had to take notes myself! I know you’re going to derive great value from this conversation.

John Perkins is the author of the legendary book Confessions of an Economic Hitman, which first appeared on the show in Episode 71.

He has now published an updated version of the book titled Confessions of an Economic Hit Man, 3rd Edition – China’s EHM Strategy; Ways to Stop the Global Takeover, featuring 12 new chapters breaking down how China has essentially become the world’s “economic hitman.”

Longtime listeners will surely recognize that John and I share some differing world views, and I certainly do not endorse his beliefs on things like white supremacy, climate change, vegetarianism and feminism, to name a few. Nonetheless, his experience and insights are incredibly valuable, and you will certainly learn a ton from this conversation. 

TODAY’S CONVERSATION WITH JOHN PERKINS:

• Listen in to hear John explain in detail what an “Economic Hitman” – or “EHM” strategy is from his own personal experience implementing it on behalf of first-world nations and banking elites and how he came to understand the dark side of what he was doing. 
• John details the predatory nature of the EHM strategy and the devastating effects it has had on third-world nations. You won’t believe the shocking statistics about the average age in Africa.  
• Hear John reveal the nefarious methods the EHM strategists use to manipulate statistics like GDP to display positive effects on the economy while the underlying reality paints a much bleaker picture for the citizens of the nations targeted by it.
• Then we discuss  the difference between honest entrepreneurship – the kind that I practice in my business – and “cronyism” or “predatory capitalism.”
• John explains how China has shifted its own economic hitman strategy under President Xi Jinping over the last ten years and their nefarious motivations for doing so. 
• We dig into what John describes as the “death economy” – as the EHM competition between the leaders of China and the United States wreaks economic havoc across the globe.
• John and I further discuss current global political issues and the different levels of attention conflicts in Ukraine and Yemen receive from the media and the general public.
• John drives home how many individuals have embraced changes in the last three years and the need to change our perception of our current socio-economic and governmental systems.
• We discuss the very different perceptions of “success” in Latin America and how things like spending time with family and friends often take higher priority than the gain of material goods in that region. 
• Lastly, we discuss China’s increasingly interwoven relationship with Latin America and the impacts, both positive and negative, on the region.

CONCLUSION

I hope you enjoyed my conversation with John Perkins as much as I did. While we have very different worldviews, and I certainly don’t endorse all of his beliefs, John is an absolute hero for the work he has done exposing the nature of our corrupt global systems of banking and government.

When it comes to the nature of our global systems, you’d be hard-pressed to find a better expert than John Perkins. I know you’ll get great value from this conversation!

Today, I am going to share a conversation I had on The Tom Woods Show. This interview has gotten such a great response since it first aired that I wanted to share it here with you to make sure you didn’t miss it.

Tom didn’t let me off easy and really put me on the hot seat, bringing up a ton of objections that many who are first hearing about the expat lifestyle tend to come up with.

Answering Common Expat Objections

• In this discussion, I respond to some common “black pilled” takes that Tom has heard about the negative side of expatriation, dispelling the notion that the advantages you can achieve outside your country of birth aren’t all that great when you break it down.
• There is no Shangri-La – no perfect libertarian country in the world. It does not exist. But that’s not to be said that we can’t get more freedom in our lives by being overseas or by jurisdiction shopping.
• I explain to Tom exactly what FATCA – the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act –  is and how it works, and why it’s even caused some Americans to go as far as to renounce their U.S. citizenship!
• I address Tom’s concern that whatever problems you have in the U.S., they may very well be worse outside the U.S., as was the case in certain countries when it came to COVID restrictions.
• Tom and I talk about how Americans can utilize the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion to greatly reduce their tax burden while living overseas.
• I break down the concept of citizenship by investment and how the process typically unfolds for those with substantial funds to invest overseas.
• I lay out the many reasons to have a second passport, even if you do not plan to live outside your home country!
• I provide some definitive first steps to take for those that have caught the expat bug and are ready to take their expat journey to the next level.

CONCLUSION

I hope you enjoyed today’s conversation on The Tom Woods Show. Tom is an excellent interviewer, and I loved how he pressed me on some of the common objections people who are first learning about the expat lifestyle often hold. These are questions that don’t often come up here on the Expat Money Show, where I primarily interview those who are already on the expat journey, so it was a great change of pace.

This is the perfect episode to share with a friend or family member who has expressed interest in the expat lifestyle but has been hesitant to pursue it further due to many of the objections addressed in this conversation.

See you all next Wednesday on the podcast!

The post 236: Debunking Expat Myths: Mikkel Thorup Sets the Record Straight on The Tom Woods Show appeared first on The Expat Money Show - With Mikkel Thorup.

Today I am going to recap the last incredible week in Panama, beginning with a hugely informative conference for private clients and culminating in my 40th birthday party.

The last week has been unbelievable. Clients flew in from every corner of the world, literally from everywhere.

I am still decompressing from a busy and eventful week, but I wanted to first stop and take the time to record this episode for you and update you all on some other goings on here at Expat Money while everything is fresh on my mind. 

PANAMA CONFERENCE AND BIRTHDAY PARTY RECAP

• I recap the start of the week with the investor’s conference I put on in Panama with private clients from diverse places like Germany, Thailand and New Zealand attending.
• I explain the difference between my “private” clients and my “regular” clients and how you can become one!
• This week highlights why I like to get to know my prospective clients personally before I take them on  – because I spend a LOT of time with them!
• The type of information provided at this conference would literally take months or even years of research to acquire on your own – offshore investing and residency is definitely not a ‘DIY’ type of thing.
• Meanwhile, we also formally launched The Expats Guide on Moving to Mexico, which has already launched to #1 in the “libertarianism” category on Amazon!
• I also provide a preview of the upcoming trips I am planning in the next year for private clients. If these sounds interesting to you, read this important letter and consider if becoming a private is a good fit for you.
• Finally, I reflect on my 40th birthday party that was made so special by the 150 + attendees who travelled from places like Germany, the Netherlands, Ireland, the UK, Brazil, Colombia, Canada, USA, etc. – all culminating in an amazing fireworks display!
• Ultimately, these events are about building a community and realizing that we aren’t the crazy ones out there. We in the Expat Money community are building a better and brighter future for ourselves while much of the world goes mad.

CONCLUSION

I hope you enjoyed today’s episode in which I’ve provided just a small glimpse into the type of conferences, tours and celebrations I put together for my friends and clients in the Expat Money community.

I want to once again thank everyone who joined us in Panama and came out to celebrate my birthday.

And as I said earlier, and it really is worth repeating; this party is not about me…

It’s about you.

We are not just some online group or a podcast, no. We are a real-life community of people who understand what is going on in the world and will actually do something about it.

Our plan is to do many more private events this year for clients, so I hope this episode will serve as a great preview of what’s to come should you decide to become one. Enjoy!
