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).

very true on the "various levels of less bad". And that only lasts in any given place until the next election, assuming they're still "free and fair". Didn't the NH governor just refuse IVM over-the-counter after the state house passed a bill? He has ties to gates and big pharma. Hard to find anyone who doesn't anymore I suppose.

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.

Amazing. Good for you Monica. The doctors and healthcare providers there are wonderful. All so true about the forbidden practices. I recall reading about untimely and suspicious deaths of homeopathic doctors in the U.S. around that time you took your husband there - 2012-2015, all relating to a potential cure for some types of cancers(?) and which sent many homeopaths/naturopaths in the states rushing south to Mexico to set up shop, although sounds like they've been doing that since the 1960s! Crazy.

I've been considering RV life for a tour of the American west (everything east of Yosemite) starting next spring. Cougar half-ton + Ford F-150 assuming oil isn't $300/gallon. Maybe reach out to some Good Citizens along the way for a cold cerveza rendezvous. Then maybe head south with the rig. I'll have to get some notes from you soon.

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.

I admire the will to stay and fight for what's worth fighting for. I'm just not so sure the inevitable isn't long gone in the rear view mirror. Any organizing now for any meaningful resistance is only met with the full force of a tyrannical federal police state that has been authorized to move on "domestic terrorists". A police state that presently has unarmed peaceful tourists "insurrectionists" imprisoned without a trial for daring to speak out about an obviously rigged election. I imagine if any were actual armed insurrectionists they'd never see the light of day. It either happens in very large numbers and with as much force from insiders, or it never will happen.

I appreciate what RobR is saying but I’m totally in sync with what you have written and your sentiments. I don’t see anything getting better unless it’s all burned down and we start over. But, there’s too big a divide here in the USA for us coming together. Maybe I’m wrong and when the SHTF, maybe some people will surprise me! I desperately want my husband and I to buy a second home in Mexico as a plan B but my husband is in the RobR camp. He really doesn’t even think it’s that bad. On the other hand, I think our government will stop at nothing to 1. Give up our sovereignty and 2. To take and steal everything we’ve worked so hard for. It’s just a matter of when.

Regardless, are there any sub stacks/blogs you know of that write about leaving America and starting a new life in Mexico? I’d really like to know more about areas to consider moving to, what the culture is like etc.

I live in Texas and the people I’ve met from Mexico who live here now are the kindest people! I just love them. They are hardworking and have beautiful, kind, loving hearts.

Thank you for a great article. Lots to think about for sure.

There are a LOT of Texans in MX, especially in the Lake Chapala area. Lot of retired people spend the summer there, because the weather is fabulous, food is great, no need to speak Spanish (but it IS a good idea). Great medical, no 5G yet. Lots of great restaurants. Lovely place.

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.

Expand full comment

Mexicans definitely have a love-hate relationship gringos. Of course, they all taught in grade school that the US invaded Mexico without any provocations at all. Never learn about the Treaty of Guadelupe Hidalgo. Never tells them that the US actually PAID for the land in the Mexican Cession.

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.

Thanks. Where would you recommend in L/A? Based on Vax uptake per capita and mandates there are few good options. Some of the "richest" nations in SA performed the worst on mandates and vax tyranny, ranging from 75% to a hellish 98%. I have a good feeling Mexico lied about its numbers. It went from 42% in late November 2021 to 67% in January 2022 despite no fear mongering or "dark winters of death" b.s.. I can see Mexico lying about that and it only makes me like the place more. lol

Excellent points. I was looking at food supply (do they grow it locally?), lack of GMO ( which goes hand in hand with a lack of Big Pharma takeover), clean water, and general stabilty (for Latin America). Don't want to say buy a small place or slap some money into the national banks and credit unions to have it expropiated. What I think I learned from my time in Sub-Saharan Africa. The economy can tank. But if the wet markets remain open, you're good on the serious unrest. Subsistence agriculture prevents many evils. But if you're in that big city, and people can no longer get or afford food, you're f*kked.

I found some allegedlly dangerous places pretty safe. Yes, if you are careless or stupid you might get parted from your wallet or Smartphone. But the gratiutous violence, no. When people are lacking luxury items or status items, iPhones, etc, that risk of theft is real enough. Seldom true violence because of the hassle they face. Just the "street tax" which you can almost always avoid paying by not being careless. But when people are hard-pressed on basic necessities, worry about the machettes coming out. Mob protests. It's not about you -- nothing personal. But you might just be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

So to finally answer your question --an old guy like me will ramble on - both Ecudaor and Nicaragua got a good first pass. But I did not apply your criteria. All best!

The thing with Mexico is that for a 50 dollar donation any doctor will give you as many "vaccines" as you want. In Ecuador hospitals were stealing vaccines and selling them on the black market. People were getting saline shots. Mexico will be no different.

What other countries would you consider in Latin America and why? I have considered a few but it seems most of them fell for all the WHO mandates during Covid. I don’t want to live somewhere where my freedoms/livelihoods are taken away by the next manufactured pandemic.

Thank you. I am not an expert on this, and still looking into it. The criteria you and Good Citizen apply are entirely appropriate. No dispute there. Ecuador, to my disappointment, did fall for the mandate.

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.

Was GAVI in the Afirican neighborhood when the assertion of new cases emerged? There are various toxins which are misdiagnosed as viruses says Dr. Tom Cowan, so I just spent 45 minutes watching his “live” webinar from Wednesday 7/6/22. There will be a live webinar Friday 7/8/22. It’s a whole new lens. 5G was developed by military as weaponry at least 30 years ago, and now in this semi-urban location one cannot help but see the proliferation.

Drs. Tim Cowan, Amanda Vollmer, Sam Bailey, Andrew Kaufman _ all great sources of this mis/dis/mal info. Once one goes down the rabbit hole, you can not un-see the viral scam. Eke!

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.

The busy body meddlers are sadly everywhere Jim. In Portland I got funny looks for refusing a face diaper in public, in 75F sunny weather, last month. That's an extreme example of course. Florida real estate should lag the rest of the country in the decline in prices given the mass influx of people, but you probably have less than six months until a big correction arrives. There's an arbitrage opportunity right now to sell at the tail peak of the market. Rent something cheap for a year, maybe lease an RV and hit the national parks, and then buy after the next crash at a substantial discount that final dream property, isolated with acreage, or beachfront in Margaritaville. Another two years of Joe Brandon and there's a long way still to hit bottom.

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.

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

My 13 year old asked us just the other day if we would ever "escape" to another country as this one slowly dies. Initially we said no - we'd fight it out. But boy, some days I do think it would be a good idea to just high tail it out of here. But I'm in my 50's, my husband in his 60's (yes, we have a 13 year old) and just the thought of it all is exhausting. I'm glad to be in a purple state (NH). We have property in the White Mountains (and it's red up there) where we could escape to and that's probably what would happen.

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?

Expand full comment

A great question that I can't answer without making assumptions. I assume that horrible poverty and opportunity is still the main reason, though many more people crossed in the 1980s and 90s than today and those were mostly Mexicans and Central Americans. Today it appears to be a mix of people from all over the world rather than Mexico. Many are also reuniting with family already here, uncles, cousins, sisters, brothers. The big draw I assume is the likelihood that one party will offer citizenship in short order to tens of millions of illegals given the chance to change the voter demographics in their favor to monopolize power. Citizenship will guarantee welfare, food stamps, housing assistance, maybe even college grants/loans, which in many blue states I believe illegals already get to some degree. For example the CA economy benefits greatly with undocumented workers paying taxes (3-4 Billion a year?) and they will (have already?) extend food and unemployment benefits to them. For someone from Haiti or Venezuela with absolutely no prospects in life that can be incentive enough to make the deadly journey.

I have been visiting the interior of MX for several decades. The poverty is 3rd world. There's never enough work, and it doesn't pay much. It's a survival culture, the larceny is built in, and the very rich despise the poor.

Mexico has been exporting its poverty & overpopulation to the US for at least 70 years. AMLO actually said that it would be a good thing to go north illegally to feed their families. And illegals remit almost $60B per year back to their families, annually.

There's not much opportunity, and that's not changing anytime soon.
