Zero Hedge just pulled (deleted) an article with a Soros video involving US elections. And just when I had a snappy response.
I don't have any doubts about the Rothschilds being extremely influential, maybe Soros is even a LACKEY of theirs. Whether or not the NWO / Global Elite is as powerful as many say, well I don't know. But, in the end, it does not make a whole lot of difference in how we act as individuals.
They just stay the f*** out of my way, or mostly, I'll pay a (low) amount to the Global Parasites (by "Going Galt"), and as long as they don't f*** with our bearing business or try to take away our gold & guns, then I'll let others deal with them.
It does look like $hillary is going to be our next POTUS. Ick. Ugh.

If Wikileaks is infiltrated by the global elite, a whistleblower would know if a leak exposing the global elite got suppressed, no?
Anonymous has definitely been infiltrated by the global elite, but I don't know how much this matters. Anonymous still chugs on. People get caught and give up acquaintances all the time. There will always be more Anonymous.

I watched the debate carefully. The Donald perhaps did a little better this time than in the previous two debates, but (IMO) he needed a Home Run / Knock Out. And he did not get it.
The Economist is owned by the Rothschild's extended clan, so what ever they write should be viewed with more importance since Rothshild is in control of Wikileaks and can thus largely control the outcomes via exposé:
http://www.economist.com/news/business/21709071-candidates-fan-base-has-what-it-takes-support-new-tv-service-channelling-trump
OROBTC, I disagree. I think the polls are all rigged on purpose by Rothschilds (not by Clinton). He has something up his sleeve. I think you should read my blog and comments at the end of it more carefully:
https://steemit.com/society/@anonymint/the-red-pill-blue-pill-election-nyc-slumlord-vs-globalists
W.r.t. to upthread discussion:
To align with what Rothshild and Soros appear to be doing with Wikileaks, i.e. the manipulative/blackmail destruction of the nation-states in order to usher in global monetary and governance systems, a crypto-currency which is global, widely adopted, and stored on a blockchain seems to be synergistic to their goals.
If we can also put some anonymity technology in it which only the TPTB can violate, they will love this even more. Because it means privacy for the common person, but TPTB can blackmail anyone they wish to. Based on all my in-depth study of anonymity technology, it is impossible to be anonymous to the NSA if they want to track you they can. But TPTB are not going to have the resources to track every person who is using anonymity very carefully. They will have to pick those targets which are most valuable to them.
So my goal is to create something popular and further the inexorable and inevitable move towards globalism, while also providing the common person many new capabilities and also offer investors an enormous opportunity.
Enough of the bullshit about defeating TPTB, let's get on with competing with Mark Zuckerberg and the best of the best in the Silicon valley.
There is at least one constant, inviolably by the Gaussian distribution, which is that the elite-most will always be able to manipulate the psychology of the masses and that will never change.
So if you think you will overrule their political power by any means, then you are futilely attempting to violate the inviolable Gaussian distribution.
I agree that individual empowerment via technology which can't be centralized is a reduction of the efficacy of political power. Problem is that most everything can be centralized via political force, especially when we put Smart meters on every home that track every movement and action every where.

Hillary vs. Trump debate comments
I watched the debate carefully. The Donald perhaps did a little better this time than in the previous two debates, but (IMO) he needed a Home Run / Knock Out. And he did not get it.
The MainStream Media and .gov collusion along with the unusually skillful liar Hillary make her the likely next President. If that means anything to the direction of your lives (anyone), then you need to start planning now (start planning yesterday even better).
Hillary is very polished and an exceptionally accomplished Liar. Around halfway through the debate, I turned to my wife and told her that had I been the one debating her, I would have gotten my ass kicked...
I regret that the American people have not seen through her lies and corruption. What has come out (Wikileaks emails, the O'Keefe videos showing the sleaze and illegality of the Democrat Party, Hillary's various lies and hypocrisy (Goldman-Sachs speeches, the Klinton Krime Family Foundation, etc.) should have all been more than enough to bury her. But, it has not.
Unless there is a Big Surprise out there (a BREXIT or extreme health problems), she is the next POTUS.

Just finished watching the final USA Presidential debate. Don't know why I watched it. Curious I guess.
It is going to be interesting to see what transpires.
Any way, my opinion remains we must focus on our individual lives.
And I am not doomsday per se. We may be able to live out our lives in modern society.
When you have kids, the issue is complicated by the fact that the State is indoctrinating your kids and polluting their minds in the education system and via the mass media. This devolves into the general population becoming indoctrinated and you can't escape this any where.
Even Asia and Latin America are falling into this mind programming, but it is much less devolved than it is in West.
If you have kids, I guess pick the place you think you can reasonably tolerate.
For myself personally, I am just trying to choose a direction within which I can remain personally productive, unfettered (unobstructed and unharassed), and which allows to continue my love of sports and getting outdoors in God's creation. I like rural areas and wide open spaces. But I also like modern cities and technology.
Each of you have different situations and perspectives. So my choices wouldn't apply to every reader.

Ah never mind all that nonsense, for the Westerners are fucking themselves over by not realizing that Wikileaks is run by Soros and Rothschilds, so there is no hope of the Westerners ever doing any thing politically that is correct, for they are idolize their fucking enslaver. The sheep are so fooled, they can never fight their way out of a wet paper bag. The problem is the system of voting to award centralization of authority. There really is no solution to the fact that democracy and collective governance is inherently corrupt. Make yourself as invisible as possible. Prepare to fight to the death if they come with boots on our necks at our homesteads. Instead realize they are much more likely to whittle us down economically and via general war as necessary.
For USA citizens, we get a $100K foreign earned income exclusion (need to live outside the USA 331 days per year), but I need to see how that interacts with this payroll (FICA) tax and also AMT (alternative minimum tax). If I am earning more than that, then get an alternative citizenship. I don't know if you have similar expat benefits as an Australian citizen?
If ever the elite cut off all my options, I will go live in the mountains some where and survive off the land. The challenge would be meat. Probably need to raise chickens and pigs. And need weapons to defend off thieves. I'd probably prefer to South America, than Philippines because of the lower population density.
If not thinking about kids and their education, I would say we'd be best to combine our funds, go buy a large acreage in Argentina or Chile, and think split up the title but keep it contiguous. Buying a larger acreage would give us a better price per hectare and would allow us to choose something with flowing water and nice features.
I don't have funds right now, but I am working hard on getting myself out of the health problem I am currently in. I am scheduling a flight to Singapore for December or first week January to go get endoscopy and all the diagnostics, so can determine what is wrong with the inside of my digestive system. My theory is that the hole in my stomach in May 2012 when I was hospitalized in ER and ICU (potentially fatal event) had burned my organs inside the abdominal cavity so badly that when they healed, they melded together. I suspect my stomach is attached to either my liver and/or my intestine or my small intestine has melded to itself creating a "blind loop" or some sort of deformity. This causes all this dysfunction I have which makes me seem like a manic depressive person, but this is the ramifications of 4 years of suffering this ailment. So probably surgery is needed. Other possibility is my gut microflora was populated by bad bacteria or there are perforations that are leaking it. So then there are other possible treatment options such as fecal transplant, which the National Research Hospital in Singapore started doing as of 2014. So I am just trying to be as productive as I can until I make it to Singapore. And trying to find the funds to go treated, so I can get back to the level of production I was capable of before this illness. Realize that computer software engineers of my caliber earning $150K + $million stock options. I am working right now on a new programming language which I think will replace Java and JavaScript and I have very specific technical reasons to think so. So you can imagine a job from for example Google might be in the offering should I get that project to fruition. As well, that project is a precursor or adjunct to social networking style crypto-token and blockchain that I still have plans to do. I have excellent names for both projects. The PL is Boost. I can't tell you the name for the crypto project yet, but the name is excellent according to those who've I shared. My problem is my health debacle. But we are trying to get is sorted. It was only recently that I became aware that my diagnosis for NAFLD (fatty liver disease) is correlated to SIBO (small intestinal bacteria overgrowth) because the portal vein supplies 70% of the blood to the liver but it originates from the small intestine. So if you have bacterial overflow then you liver becomes destroyed. So then of course the immune system goes crazy which messes up your brain, energy and everything collapses into extremely bad health. I am fighter. I run and do 12+ hour fasting every day. I struggle through this delirium and the dark circles around my eyes due to the liver disease, gut dysbiosis and all the bad peripheral effects thereof.
Note I regret not going to Singapore in 2015 when I had funds from my angel investors. At the time, I only was aware of a doctor in Australia who was doing fecal transplants and I wasn't aware of "blind loop" and SIBO correlations. And it was 2016 that I got the NAFLD diagnosis via ultrasound in Davao. I also got negative test results for Hepa B &C, HIV, and cancer markers. In 2015, Australia seemed too expensive for the funds I had, I thought maybe I could get a project completed first, and I have a friend in Australia who has the same doctor who does the fecal transplants there, and I heard that doctor loves to use a lot of antibiotics so I became wary. I've since become aware that Singapore apparently has an excellent medical system and this high-tech research hospitals. And given I know more now about the potential causes of my ailment, then I am more eager. Also in the intervening year, I had dosed with so many anti-virals and anti-bacterials, such as 1 month of tetracycline, oregano oil, curcumin in large doses. So I think I cleared up any possibility that it was some systemic viral or bacterial infection causing this. So I am more focused now on a physical deformity or bad microflora as the likely diagnosis. So I am more emboldened and confident now that going to Singapore might actually pinpoint the problem. I hate to waste funds which is why I was hesitant in 2015.
I got a feedback wondering if my "manic depressive" behavior was causing my illness. No to the extent my behavior is erratic that way, it is the physical ailment which is causing the massive struggle mentally, emotionally, and energy wise. I explain it some more detail here. I would note to this person and all readers that afaik Chron's disease is not any where near as debilitating as my condition. Chron's can be managed with medications. I think it could also possibly be cured with FMT (fecal microflora transplant). I think it doesn't cause the extreme symptoms I have. I have something seriously messed up inside and it probably a physical deformity due to the 3 days of burning my internal organs in a stomach acid bath. At the time, my stomach had bloated up like a pregnant woman because my organs were bleeding fluid. And my doctor said I might need surgery and I might not survive. Somehow I survived that hell on earth experience (burning alive non-stop for 3 days without pain killers) without surgery. But the low-tech doctors here did not properly followup with MRI and endoscopy to make sure it healed properly. Nor do they have any diagnostics here for making sure the microflora has normalized after that sort of acute perforated ulcer. Read this!
http://www.meb.uni-bonn.de/dtc/primsurg/docbook/html/x3617.html
Also after reading the above, note that when I visited my filipino doctor out-patient after the hospitalization incident, he seemed very incompetent to me in terms of the way he analyzed the extreme fatigue and other very bad reaction I had to the antibiotics he subscribed to me and then the fungal infection I developed. Also while in his office there was an American guy in his 30s who had received a "J-pop" operation from this doctor (where they bypass I think the small intestine or something like that) and this guy was really screwed up. The doctor had done a poor job on the surgery and this patient had been in extreme pain for years and was on morphine. And I asked why in the hell did he do surgery in the Philippines (the filipino surgeons are the ones who butchered my right eye), and he just said lack of funds. So that is why I didn't also allow that doctor to do any invasive procedures on me. And the recent female doctor who diagnosed me with NAFLD also wanted to do an endoscopy but she wanted general anesthesia and I don't trust these filipinos. And I don't trust they can even really know what they are looking at, so it is a wasted procedure. For example, she doesn't know anything about SIBO, "blind loop", etc. She didn't even consider those possibilities. So that is why I am in the condition I am in now, because of the horrible filipino doctors. Absolutely horrible! Do not get medical treatment in the Philippines!
Btw, my digestive system talks a lot. It is often making very audible bubbling and squeaking noises. That is not normal. Never had that before this ailment.
Our other threat is nuclear war:
https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/world-news/war/the-last-caliph/
I did some research after the Fukushima reactor disaster, and the currents and trade winds turn in opposite directions on the northern and southern hemispheres, just as the water circles the bowl in counterclockwise direction in the southern hemisphere. Apparently this will mitigate to some extent the nuclear fallout transferring between northern and southern hemispheres.
I would be interested in iamnotback's opinion on advice I have put out to various people re exfiltration (emigration):
You must spend at least EIGHT WEEKS (bare minimum) in ANY candidate country before considering moving there. And not an eight week vacation: you need to talk with lawyers (immigration and investment matters), and eat the food (if you don't like it, don't move there), mixing it up with the locals (to see if you would get along OK).

Agreed. And I think you really need to live in a place for a year, before you realize you just can't tolerate something you thought you would be able to.
And never, never ever invest big money (house or business) until you've lived there for some years. We call them "virgins" because they come here and have to make all the same mistakes we did. Even we warn them, they don't listen.

trollerc & iamnotback
Indeed, no place is close to perfect.
I cannot properly comment on anywhere in Asia because of my very limited travels there (Korea, Japan and 10 days in HK and China years ago). Maybe HK if the Chinese rule with a light hand. The Philippines seem to have aspects of both Latinolandia and SE Asia, but as I have not BEEN there, that is just a comment based on reading and some offhand comments from Americans who have been or lived there.
Argentina has a long record of progress/degeneracy/progress/degeneracy/progress/degeneracy...... Still, if out in the sticks (boring), one could fabricate a good life.
I read good things about Chile & Paraguay (one of my "virtual friends", on my email Joke List moved to Paraguay FROM Australia, she's happy there!).
My beat is Peru, but that is a little too poor and a little too chaotic to be a good choice for most. Our business is there because my in-laws (wonderful people) are there. Peru has good food though, and for the most part they are friendly to foreigners. Peru is our family's Plan B...
But, re LatAm, it is highly unlikely that you would be happy unless your Spanish is reasonably good.
Costa Rica (pretty there), Panama and Uruguay might also be good choices, but, again, SPANISH would help a lot.

I visited that Holy Child college today and construction is complete (because my gf will likely enroll this semester). Looks much better now. That is about 20 minutes up the mountain on a 4 lane highway from where I live. I almost rented in that subdivision for $300 monthly but I found a nicer house (2 story, fully furnished with two airconditioners) for the same price in another gated subdivision.

My plan is to simply leave Australia, I just hate it here, the safety culture drives me bonkers.
I will most likely go to Baguio, the climate is similar to what I am used to, there's some decent schools there & it's far enough away from parasite relatives.
Apart from the occasional earthquake, it looks pleasant.

Always check with someone who has actually lived there such as myself. The grass is usually not greener on the other side of the mountain and Baguio is IMO definitely not where you want to go.
As for climate, Baguio is nice and cold in December to May (summer ends May) and no rain. But during the other months you get torrential rain and typhoons which are horrendous. The rain blow side-ways through even pinhole crack in your window seal. You get mold and mildew easily. Difficult and expensive to find a decent house and lot. Have you checked prices?
Southern Mindanao is below the typhoon belt. And we also have mountain locations.
The Baguio environment has declined a lot due to air being trapped in a small valley that is Baguio and too many vehicles now. Baguio is not what was when the Americans made it their summer capital.
But worst of all, is Baguio has nothing to do. I couldn't even find a damn operating hottub not even at any upscale places such as Camp John Hay. Typical filipinos everything is always out-of-order and out-of-stock. Go to McDonalds to order french fries and Big Mac any where in the provinces of Philippines and sometimes you will get, "sorry sir, out of stock". How can McDo be out-of-stock of french fries! Nonsense. The SM mall is open air and nice. The clouds come through the mall. But how many times can you go to the mall before you get bored.
It is a boring, boring, boring place that will bore you to tears. Nothing to see. Nothing to do. Stuck up in mountain, very far to go any where such as beach or a decent city.
You really don't want to relocate the Philippines. There is a lot of stuff here which will drive you more crazy than safety culture of Australia.
If you do decide to come to Philippines, my suggestion is either pick a nice gated subdivision to live in with big lots and with a strict set of laws about noise, maintenance of house, no haphazard construction, etc, otherwise you will suffer from your neighbors. Else buy or lease a large plot of land in a cooler place in the mountains, but you will incur a lot of development expenses. If you want to live in the mountains there are many choices which are safe enough, and especially now with Duterte as president. But you should come here and rent first. Also you have to factor in traffic which is getting worse and worse as the Philippines develops. It will drive you nuts.
Argentina seems to making a lot of improvements with the new Prez who is dismantling some of the socialism. Might still have problems with violence and corruption, I dunno.
If you want more tips on the Philippines we can talk. I've been all over.
How about one of the islands of Hong Kong? I want to check that out. Has a lot of bike and hiking paths, decent infrastructure, big interesting city a ferry boat ride close by.
I am seriously considering HK for my next move with a visit to S.A. to check it out.
What say you guys?

Enjoy every day and be productive.
I have good diet lately and good exercise. This can also do wonders for state-of-mind. I recommend everyone take up daily jogging at least 2 kms daily. Work yourself into it. It pays enormous dividends. Any time you feel stress, just take off on your run. You'll be riding a cloud after.
Be happy every day. When they finally coming knocking on or down the front door, that is when we go out the back door blazing and glory.

There is a little tiny bit of time for Americans to act post-debate (but pre-election, then a bit more (possibly chaotic) until inauguration) is case things go bad: Hillary wins. That is not certain (HRC win), as the MSM, polls, etc. are all corrupt liars.
By "tiny bit of time" I mean there is time to get some things accomplished. Not abundant time, but enough.
It helps if you already have the mentality and if you have already begun...
My wife and I have starting dusting-off our Plan B scenarios. What I really think would happen (again, assuming a HRC win) is that we will likely just Go Dark (Go Galt, but quieter), and just hunker down. They will likely not aggressively come after quiet citizens. If they do, we will be ready.

So if you think you will overrule their political power by any means, then you are futilely attempting to violate the inviolable Gaussian distribution.
I agree that individual empowerment via technology which can't be centralized is a reduction of the efficacy of political power. Problem is that most everything can be centralized via political force, especially when we put Smart meters on every home that track every movement and action every where.
It seems to me that the next frontier for technology is transhumanism, so that we can escape from our physical bodies. That may be the only way to respond to asymmetrical political control. All our technological advance is being held hostage by the fact that we still live in these physical bodies which are so easy to subjugate with digital tracking. We need to raise the ante, by digitizing our existence so there isn't a choke point where our physical body interacts with the digital highway, e.g. the IP address. Once our existence is inside the digital highway, then anonymity becomes much more plausible because total orders don't exist.
180 IQ Freeman Dyson got me thinking about this aspect when he pointed out we are shifting to horizontal gene transfer, i.e. mix-and-match species:

Hey guys I think that if we let them get into our minds too much that is how we are defeated. I think we ought to ignore them as much as possible. Just refuse. If they eventually get right up in our face with a boot on our throat, then well that is the time to break out the machine gun and go Rambo. It would kind of fun going Rambo together with you two guys by my side. If going down, we take as many of them with us. We are old enough any way.
Guys I think we should keep our minds open about where our best opportunities are to live, to earn, etc.. Asia will come up. Latin America will probably also.
Let the Northern hemisphere blow themselves to smithereens if that is what they are determined to do. I care about people in the Northern hemisphere, but we can't control the politics. We can't do a damn thing about the repeating history of megadeath in the human condition. But we as individuals can make decisions about where we choose to live and what to do with our mental energy and effort. Why waste time on that which is intractable. Kids complicated the issue though. I say you need to situate the kids some where you want to stay, because kids don't cope well with being uprooted.
Enjoy every day and be productive.
I have good diet lately and good exercise. This can also do wonders for state-of-mind. I recommend everyone take up daily jogging at least 2 kms daily. Work yourself into it. It pays enormous dividends. Any time you feel stress, just take off on your run. You'll be riding a cloud after.
Be happy every day. When they finally coming knocking on or down the front door, that is when we go out the back door blazing and glory.

Dumpster diving will set you free especially the ones uptown.Those doods throw away the best stuff.I enjoy nothing better than dressing in my finest beggar attire and living like a king going through those dumspster.Shweet

Defeat TPTB with a blockchain. Ahh, not going to happen. The BANKSTERS look to have their own blockchains soon enough. Whether "their" blockchains are "best" or not (technically speaking) does not matter.
Compromise != Slavery, at least not necessarily much, IMO. Restrictions on what each of us can do really do not matter much, as long as TPTB where each of us are are not too intrusive.
YES, trollerc, almost all .govs are quickly seizing ever-more power of all sorts. Which of course is bad.
But, true freedom comes from within. The outer is just a manifestation of the inner.
