‘Why are so many people leaving the United
States right now? Over the past couple of years, an increasing number of
Americans have decided that moving to another country is the best way to
prepare for the collapse of America. According to the U.S. State
Department, an all-time record of more than 6 million Americans are now working
or studying overseas. Of course many of those that have left the country
do not believe that the U.S. economy is going to collapse, but without a doubt
there are an increasing number of preppers that believe that now is the time to
"escape from America" while they still can. And certainly there
are a lot of reasons why the U.S. is becoming less appealing with each passing
day. In addition to our economic problems, crime is on the rise in our cities, our liberties and
freedoms are being eroded at a frightening
pace, political correctness is wildly out of control, and our corrupt
politicians continue to make things even worse. But is life really that
much better in the rest of the world? The sad truth is that life in most
other nations is more difficult than it is in the United States. Yes,
there are some nations that are relatively stable and that look promising at
first glance, but the truth is that moving to another country is never
easy. If you plan to do it, there are some hard questions that you need
to ask yourself first.
If
you plan to move permanently to another nation, it would be wise to visit
first. The way that things work in a foreign country is often very, very
different from how things work in the United States. If you are not
accustomed to being in a foreign culture, it can feel like your whole world is
being turned upside down.
But
of course it is definitely possible to make a successful transition to another
culture. Millions of Americans have done it. The following is from
a recent RT article...
Ever dream of leaving it all
behind and heading out of America? You’re not the only one. A new study shows
that more US citizens than ever before are living outside of the country.
According to statistics from
the US State Department, around 6.4 million Americans are either working or studying
overseas, which Gallup says is the largest number ever for such statistic.
The polling organization came
across the number after conducting surveys in 135 outside nations and the
information behind the numbers reveal that this isn’t exactly a longtime coming
either — numbers have skyrocketed only in recent years. In the 24 months before
polling began, the number of Americans between the ages of 25 and 34 living
abroad managed to surge from barely 1 percent to over 5.1 percent. For those
under the age span wishing to move overseas, the percentage has jumped in the
same amount of time from 15 percent to 40.
But picking up and moving to a
foreign nation is not something to be done lightly.
The following are 10 questions
to ask yourself before you decide to move to another country...
Do You Speak The Language? If
Not, How Will You Function?
If you do not speak the
language of the country that you are moving to, that can create a huge
problem. Just going to the store and buying some food will become a challenge.
Every interaction that you have with anyone in that society will be strained,
and your ability to integrate into the culture around you will be greatly
limited.
How Will You Make A Living?
Unless you are independently
wealthy, you will need to make money. In a foreign nation, it may be very
difficult for you to find a job - especially one that pays as much as you are
accustomed to making in the United States.
Will You Be Okay Without Your
Family And Friends?
Being thousands of miles away
from all of your family and friends can be extremely difficult. Will you
be okay without them? And it can be difficult to survive in a foreign
culture without any kind of a support system. Sometimes the people that
most successfully move out of the country are those that do it as part of a
larger group.
Have You Factored In Weather
Patterns And Geological Instability?
As the globe becomes
increasingly unstable, weather patterns and natural disasters are going to
become a bigger factor in deciding where to live. For example, right now
India is suffering through the worst drought that it has experienced in nearly 50 years. It
would be very difficult to thrive in the middle of such an environment.
Many of those that are
encouraging people to "escape from America" are pointing to Chile as
an ideal place to relocate to. But there are thousands of significant
earthquakes in Chile each year, and the entire nation lies directly along the
"Ring of Fire" which is becoming increasingly unstable. That is
something to keep in mind.
What Will You Do For Medical Care?
If you or someone in your
family had a serious medical problem in the United States, you would know what
to do. Yes, our health care system is incredibly messed up, but at least you would
know that you could get the care that you needed if an emergency arose.
Would the same be true in a foreign nation?
Are You Moving Into A High Crime
Area?
Yes, crime is definitely on
the rise in the United States. But in other areas where many preppers are
moving to, crime is even worse. Mexico and certain areas of Central
America are two examples of this. And in many foreign nations, the police
are far more corrupt than they generally are in the United States.
In addition, many other
nations have far stricter gun laws than the United States does, so your ability
to defend your family may be greatly restricted.
So will your family truly be
safe in the nation that you plan to take them to?
Are You Prepared For "Culture
Shock"?
Moving to another country can
be like moving to a different planet. After all, they don't call it
"culture shock" for nothing.
If you do move to another
country, you may quickly find that thousands of little things that you once
took for granted in the U.S. are now very different.
And there is a very good
chance that many of the "amenities" that you are accustomed to in the
U.S. will not be available in a foreign nation and that your standard of living
will go down.
So if you are thinking of
moving somewhere else, you may want to visit first just to get an idea of what
life would be like if you made the move.
What Freedoms and Liberties Will
You Lose By Moving?
Yes, our liberties and our
freedoms are being rapidly eroded in the United States. But in many other
nations around the world things are much worse. You may find that there
is no such thing as "freedom of speech" or "freedom of
religion" in the country that you have decided to move to.
Is There A Possibility That The
Country You Plan To Escape To Could Be Involved In A War At Some Point?
We are moving into a time of
great geopolitical instability. If you move right into the middle of a
future war zone, you might really regret it. If you do plan to move, try
to find a country that is likely to avoid war for the foreseeable future.
When The Global Economy Collapses,
Will You And Your Family Be Okay For Food?
What good will it be to leave
the United States if you and your family run out of food?
Today, we are on the verge of
a major global food crisis. Global food reserves are at their lowest
level in nearly 40 years, and shifting
global weather patterns are certainly not helping things.
And the global elite are
rapidly getting more control over the global food supply. Today, between 75 and 90 percent
of all international trade in grain is controlled by just four gigantic
multinational food corporations.
But grain is not the only
thing that the food giants control. Just check out the following
statistics from a recent Natural News article...
The paper said three
mega-multinationals now control better than 40 percent of global coffee sales,
for example. Eight companies control the supply of cocoa and chocolate. Seven
control the lion's share - 85 percent - of tea production. Five multinationals
control three-quarters of the world banana trade. And the largest half-dozen
sugar traders account for about 66 percent of world trade, the new report by
the Fairtrade Foundation said.
The elite are also buying up
food producing real estate all over the globe. That is why farmland
prices in the United States have been absolutely
skyrocketing lately.
The people that run the world are rapidly
getting a stranglehold over the global food supply.
So wherever you end up -
whether it is in the United States or in another country - you will need to
make sure that you can provide enough food for you and your family to live on
independently of the system.
These are all things to think
about when considering whether or not to move out of the United States.
But there are many, including
some of those that regularly read my website, that have made the transition
successfully.
If you have some advice that
you would like to share with those that are considering moving away from
America, please feel free to share it below...’
