Sadly so true. I went to Puerto Vallarta about 18 years ago... A tourist town for sure. I visited Honduras, one of the poorest places on Earth... And after living a few places in the US, moved to NH, as one of the last bastions of liberty... And it's all gone to shit. Places I once considered living like New Zealand, they've all gone worse. Canada, UK, they're all bad. There is no place left to run ... There is no free place, only various levels of "less bad" (Mexico being a good example above of why it's less bad... But still not free).

You have described the mind set of everyone I care to know.

Couldn’t agree more.

It has been this way for a long time, of course. And there are other reasons to go to Mexico, as you point out, is for medical treatment. Dallas Buyer’s Club is an expose on it but of course, Americans have been going to Mexico for cancer treatment tourism since the 1960s when many therapies were banned by the Kefauver Harris amendment to the FDA.

Some of those medical treatments have significant evidence In the medical literature. I took my husband there for cancer treatment in 2014 and it was the best decision we ever made. Not least of which because he did not have to spend the last year of his life in a sterile inhumane called American hospital that would rival any dystopian Alliance hospital from Firefly/serenity, but rather in a clinic where he was treated as a human being, fed delicious fresh food, and had joyful conversations with other patients as they sat around laughing and receiving their treatments.

There is of course a famous fence in Tijuana that separates the two countries, and there are interesting engravings on that fence showing children holding onto helium balloons and floating over the fence. Of course, when those engravings were made, they were no doubt intended to signify Mexicans escaping to America.

Eight years ago, I recognized that the balloons were really carrying us Americans into Mexico to save our lives.

This is the most likely jurisdiction where I will set up my business to try to save a few lives from those maimed by these injections and other big pHarma poisons.

When it comes to romantic relationships, the opposite sexes are nicer too, because of the lack of associated toxic cultural American garbage.

One of the reasons I came back to the US and bought an RV is because it is a gateway to Mexico. At least for now.

Our preacher relayed the same basic assessment to me a couple weeks ago. His son was doing missionary work in a small northern Mexico town. He and his wife were staying there for a short time and had a dental emergency. Short story, the work he had that would have cost $5K in the U.S. ran an easy $1,500 down there...and the work was first-class. I disagree, however, that fleeing is the best option. We have a history and a foundation, although largely forgotten, misconstrued, mangled, and ignored, that is unlike anything in human history. A precious gift. The opportunity was handed to us, and we have allowed it to fail for many reasons, but all the failure stems from that human foible called greed. The answer is to fight like we have forgotten to fight. We didn't ask to live in these times, but these are the times we are given. Some things are worth fighting for, and if we fall, it will be for a moral and just cause. Retreat only prolongs the inevitable. When the trigger point does arrive (it hasn't yet), we need those who remember what should be to stand in the breech and show the way for those who don't.

Another masterpiece. A wise friend of mine said that Mexico intentionally stays rough around the edges to keep the gringos away from gentrifying all of it. Although their government is corrupt like everywhere else, they have adopted the right mentality against it.

I don't want to say "senior citizens" because nearly everyone is facing the same challlenges and constraints. Excepting people like Stacey the Hutt-Abrams who recently dropped $450K for 6 months of private security. (I can't see that picture of her squatting in the middle, dominating the space and surrounded by masked school children, without thinking of the original Jabba the Hutt - Princess Leia lesson in compliance). But if you are a digital nomad or retired person, you might well wish to consider Latin America. I would go further south -- not Mexico. In the USA, can you be over 60 and walk down the average blue city street without being targeted for assualt? The American Dream is not a place but people who share a commitment. Much to consider. A timely and provocative post, as always.

The only options for individual liberty now are to live outside its corrupted filthy systems and to reject its growing authoritarianism by surviving on self-reliant instincts in remote areas...

This is the key. We cannot fight through the conventional channels. Nobody in the government or court system has any incentive to challenge the uniparty. Our only chance of victory is through physical and mental "secession".

It is troubling to read this valid assessment: I have no valid argument. What I did was to watch the 2017 inaugural address YouTube <18 minuets: https://youtu.be/sRBsJNdK1t0

Suspicious that this may have been the catalyst to get out the pandemic playbook and let it roll before too many of us ordinary cannon fodder/useless eaters got too confident about the ideas DJT espoused. Believe me, I was not the least impressed with this ego Apprentice celeb from New York, until his debate with Hillary when she snarked "Good thing your not President!', and he rejoined within a heartbeat, "Yeah, 'cause you'd be in jail." Ah, a promise not kept. One of not too many, it turns out.

I believe he may have drained the swamp _ of enough muddy water that they were flailing and gasping _ so they decided to push the panic room button _ boom _ plan C-19/ plandemic! He's a populist! Cult of personality! Rascist! Msyogynist! Alt-Right! Russian agent! Call to Ukraine!

FWIW:came down with something, as did my fully jabbed wife, after her long delayed day and night inside Boston's Logan Airport, masked and frazzled. Took the Ivermectin I'd saved and Doxycycline; and after a !05* temperature, I was fatigued but well. Point: I've since gone on to Drs. Cowan, Kaufmann and Bailey: Germ vs Terrain. We're being intoxicated, and it ain't Corona Cerveza, for favor.

I read RFK, Jr's "The Real Anthony.;" the more I investigate, the more anti-vax I get. Rockefeller Gold Standard medicine has put us in a state of die-ease. Gates, like John D. Rockefeller's dad, is a modern day (billionaire) snake oil salesmen. Plandemic Lockdown was a cover for installation of 5G. They sprouted up like mushrooms while we were nestled in Netflix, as Verizon, ATT, Google quietly paid off municipalities to accept what used to be classified as weaponry without public debate. 5G weapons can create various symptoms, including SARS, fear, death.

Vaya con Dios, El Buen Ciudadano.

Great commentary as usual from the good citizen. In a world gone mad these posts and the comments below help me realize I’m not losing my mind. Freedom is under assault by bureaucrats running every aspect of our lives. Even the city I live in that is made up of families and retirees has become a gastapo. Run by a bunch of do nothing busy body types the rules and regulations keep piling up. The police have become nothing but a nuisance, pulling people over for minor driving infractions nonstop since there is little serious crime. Even parks and recreation employees harass teens playing on city fields regularly. Lock up ball fields and batting cages requiring permits to use any of it. The only bright spot is I’m in Florida so my shoe box house I live in that I paid a pittance for 20 odd years ago will now be sold to some carpetbagger for a huge price and I’ll be able to high tail south, or west or to the country someplace.

Thanks for following through on the Mexico piece , I remember a ways back you had mentioned that you had something coming up . I read it out loud with my wife , your introduction describing the abusive relationship we are living through vis a vis our government was powerful. I agree that Mexico has immunity to some degree to this coup we are experiencing in the West and that oddly enough the corruption that is within reach of normal citizens , and even the powerful resistance of the cartels is protective against the NWO bullshit.

I'm just liking on the title. Havn't read the text. But as some Celts might tell you, Hadrians wall wasn't built to keep the Celts out it was built to keep the Romans out.

One of my children asked a few weeks ago if I would consider moving to a different country. If I were 20 years younger, yes, but today, I am content to live out my remaining time here in my "hermitage" in the woods of North Central Texas. Fairly isolated with plenty of room, and the likelihood of the pastures around here turning blue anytime soon is rather slim at best. If I were to go, I believe I would look even further south to one of those countries that are never in the news--Uruguay, or Paraguay. I understand they are rather receptive to ex-pats also

Incredible post. Eight members of my spiritual community here in the Bay area had moved down to Mexico before covid. I forget which town. They love it!

Thanks for the article, very astute.

I've read it and the wise comments twice.

Just one probably stoopid question: If Mex is so great, why have so many been leaving it for so long? Is every one of them in narco trade?

Maybe have 2 Margaritas and think about it seriously. You are making me thirsty, my friend.

Linking tomorrow @ https://nothingnewunderthesun2016.com/
