Today, I want to introduce a new segment in the show, one that my team and I have been talking about internally for a while. It will be known for now as “Expat News.”

The idea is that every quarter or so, as I’m reading the news or going through government websites and I see changes to immigration and programs and things that affect the offshore and expat space, I’ll do one of these episodes breaking it all down. 

So enjoy this premier edition of Expat News, where we’ll discuss a number of stories from the wave of migration from Canada to the popularity of Panama’s investment visa to El Salvador’s interesting – and pricey – citizenship program. Enjoy!

LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK!

This episode was a little bit of an experiment, so I really would appreciate all of your feedback. Would you like to see more “Expat News” segments in the future? Head over to the Expat Money Forum, and let me know what you think!

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. 

See you next Wednesday!

This week’s episode will be a little different than the normal fare, as I am officially unveiling a project that has been in the works for ten months now.

Dare I say, this will be a game changer for anyone serious about achieving more freedom in their lives in the face of all the craziness in the world right now.

Please take the time to listen to this brief episode, and if it sounds like it’s right for you, sign up for the EMS Pulse Newsletter over at ExpatMoney.com. This is the ONLY way I’ll be sending information out about this – no Twitter, no Facebook, no YouTube.

Let’s just say the technocrats aren’t going to be happy about this.

The post 247: How To Defend Yourself From What Is Happening In The World appeared first on The Expat Money Show - With Mikkel Thorup.

Often I get asked by subscribers and clients, “Hey Mikkel, What Are You Doing?”

So I thought it would be helpful to record a quick episode on what I am doing with my own money to protect myself and my family from the financial armageddon that is on the horizon.

This episode should give you a bit of insight into the way my brain works and what I think is important for us to defend ourselves.

I don’t expect my opinions to be popular, but at least I am honest.

Enjoy,

Mikkel

The post 239: Safeguarding Wealth Beyond Borders: My Offshore Journey appeared first on The Expat Money Show - With Mikkel Thorup.

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!

CONCLUSION

Truthfully, I really had no idea that land banking was a ‘thing’. However, over the past few months, I’ve had a ton of people reach out to me asking about buying large parcels of land throughout the world. So I looked for the best person I could find on the subject, and voila, I found Brad Warren. He is truly an expert in the field and the company he works for comes highly recommended. This is an episode, where if you want to diversify, and especially with real estate, that you need to listen in.

As always, I would really appreciate it if you would share this podcast with a friend or family member, join our newsletter at ExpatMoneyShow.com and leave a review on Apple Podcasts. Join our FB group, Expat Money Forum and let me know your thoughts.
