IV. 5 OFFSHORE ASSET PROTECTION BOOKS ON CD!!!
Instant Freedom Can Be Yours
It is very important to have a solid education in all things "offshore".
Why? Because this is where the future is heading - and your financial privacy, security and success depend upon understanding the issues involved!
This "BIBLE" on living a bureaucratic free life contains the following best selling publications written by W.G. Hill, the foremost expert on P.T. lifestyles and international privacy and living. These books are available exclusively to our Charter Members!
1) P.T. # 1 - A Coherent Plan for a Stress-Free, Healthy and Prosperous Life without Government Interference, Taxes or Coercion. Do you want to escape the control over your life and property now held by modern Big Brother government? The PT concept has been called Individual Sovereignty because PTs look after themselves.
PT stands for many things: a PT can be a Prior Taxpayer, Perpetual Tourist, a Person of Talent who is just Passing Through, Parked Temporarily or Permanent Traveler if he or she wants to.
PT is a concept, a way of life, a way of perceiving the universe and your place in it. One can be a full time dedicated PT or part time PT. Some intelligent readers may not want to break out at once, or become a PT at all. They just want to be aware of the possibilities and be prepared to modify their lifestyle in the event of a crisis. Knowledge can help you become a PT who is Prepared Thoroughly for the future.
Get the PT book and read it from cover to cover. How you look upon life will change drastically.
2) The Passport Report - This report will open your eyes to many ideas and options you've never thought of before. More significantly, it will allow you to appraise realistically the risk of not having a second passport and not having assets properly placed to enable you to escape, survive and prosper. Here is a brief overview of the contents of The Passport Report:
The first step: psychological preparation. Should you hire a lawyer or agency? Those who advertise and claim to provide second passports.
Instant passports and how to get them. Non-citizen passports; Diplomatic and service passports; Refugee passports; Provisional passports; Honorary passports. How to determine which passport suits you best.
Over 70 countries examined in detail. Eliminating taxes with your second passport. Dual nationality: problems and benefits.
Indirect routes ("back doors"). Actual case histories detailing exactly how individuals went about securing second passports. Most informative. Documents usable in lieu of passports. With almost 400 pages packed with unique and vital information, The Passport Report is the most detailed and useful book of its kind.
Book #3- Portable Trades and Occupations (PTO) - Would you like to be able to move anywhere in the world and within a short time be able to establish yourself in a comfortable upper middle class style? If this is your long term goal or an immediate need, by the time you finish this book you'll know exactly how to do it. Here in a nutshell are some of the "basics" covered in the book:
Find a Need and Fill it. Make sure the need you are going to fill requires no special license, permits, or educational background. Try to find a field of endeavor that does not require you to acquire any fixed or expensive assets.
Stick to a business that has no upper limit on earnings. Whatever you do should be doable in many places internationally. Go into something that doesn't require too much expertise - unless you happen to be an expert in something already.
Try to do something that is so "out of the ordinary" that there is little or no effective competition in the field. What you do should have a relatively low profile. Make it something you enjoy doing, something creative, interesting and, last but not least, lucrative. Here you have a taste of what the PTO book is about. Examples, situations, the how to, and real life examples of how to get a Portable Trade and Occupation are found in this eye opening book.

V. THE MYTH OF 'LIMITED GOVERNMENT'
~~for educational purposes only~~ [Title 17 U.S.C. section 107]
The Myth of 'Limited Government' by Joseph Sobran
We are taught that the change from monarchy to democracy is progress; that is, a change from servitude to liberty. Yet no monarchy in Western history ever taxed its subjects as heavily as every modern democracy taxes its citizens.
But we are taught that this condition is liberty, because "we" are freely taxing "ourselves." The individual, as a member of a democracy, is presumed to consent to being taxed and otherwise forced to do countless things he hasn’t chosen to do (or forbidden to do things he would prefer not to do).
Whence arises the right of a ruler to compel? This is a tough one, but modern rulers have discovered that a plausible answer can be found in the idea of majority rule. If the people rule themselves by collective decision, they can’t complain that the government is oppressing them. This notion is summed up in the magic word "democracy."
It’s nonsense. "We" are not doing it to "ourselves." Some people are still ruling other people. "Democracy" is merely the pretext for authorizing this process and legitimizing it in the minds of the ruled. Since outright slavery has been discredited, "democracy" is the only remaining rationale for state compulsion that most people will accept.
Now comes Hans-Hermann Hoppe, of the University of Nevada Las Vegas, to explode the whole idea that there can ever be a just state. And he thinks democracy is worse than many other forms of government. He makes his case in his new book Democracy - The God That Failed: The Economics and Politics of Monarchy, Democracy, and Natural Order (Transaction Publishers).
Hoppe is often described as a libertarian, but it might be more accurate to call him a conservative anarchist. He thinks the state "a territorial monopoly of compulsion" is inherently subversive of social health and order, which can thrive only when men are free.
As soon as you grant the state anything, Hoppe argues, you have given it everything. There can be no such thing as "limited government," because there is no way to control an entity that in principle enjoys a monopoly of power (and can simply expand its own power).
We’ve tried. We adopted a Constitution that authorized the Federal Government to exercise only a few specific powers, reserving all other powers to the states and the people.
It didn’t work. Over time the government claimed the sole authority to interpret the Constitution, then proceeded to broaden its own powers ad infinitum and to strip the states of their original powers while claiming that its self-aggrandizement was the fulfillment of the "living" Constitution. So the Constitution has become an instrument of the very power it was intended to limit!
The growth of the Federal Government might have been slowed if the states had retained the power to withdraw from the confederation. But the Civil War established the fatal principle that no state could withdraw, for any reason. So the states and the people lost their ultimatedefense against Federal tyranny. (And if they hadn’t, there would still have been the problem of the tyranny of individual states.) But today Americans have learned to view the victory of the Union over the states, which meant an enormous increase in the centralization of power, as a triumph of "democracy."
Hoppe goes so far as to say that democracy is positively "immoral," because "it allows for A and B to band together to rip off C." He argues that monarchy is actually preferable, because a king has a personal interest in leaving his kingdom in good condition for his heirs; whereas democratic rulers, holding power only briefly, have an incentive to rob the public while they can, caring little for what comes afterward. (The name "Clinton" may ring a bell here.)
And historically, kings showed no desire to invade family life; but modern democracies want to "protect" children from their parents. By comparison with the rule of our alleged equals, most kings displayed remarkably little ambition for power. And compared with modern war, the wars Of kings were mere scuffles.
Democracy has proved only that the best way to gain power over people is to assure the people that they are ruling themselves. Once they believe that, they make wonderfully submissive slaves.
VI. WHAT KIND OF CENTURY WILL THIS BE?
~~for educational purposes only~~ [Title 17 U.S.C. section 107]
What Kind of Century Will This Be? by Harry Browne
It's natural to wonder what kind of year 2002 will be -- for you, for America, and for the world.
But I find myself still wondering what kind of century the 21st will be.
Will it be one of small government, progress, and mostly peace for America -- as the 19th was? Or will it be one of big government, coasting on past success, and conflict -- as the 20th was?
The contrast between the two centuries couldn't be sharper.
Progress
So much of what we enjoy today comes from what was discovered and implemented in the 1800s.
The telephone, radio, automobile, electricity, steam power, running water, indoor plumbing, the use of x rays, mass production, automation, and much more were discovered and/or first used in the 19th century.
Most of the dramatic advancements of the 20th century -- television, cell phones, fax machines, and so many wonderful electrical appliances -- are actually refinements or applications of discoveries made in the 19th century. Even the modern computer relies on the 1830s work of Charles Babbage. And while the first airplane flew in 1903, the Wright Brothers began their work in the 1890s.
Some of the genuine 20th-century discoveries have failed to achieve their true potentials. Space travel, for example, has benefited no one but government employees. And atomic energy, which could provide low-cost electricity to the world, has been restrained by politically motivated bureaucrats and environmental know-nothings.
Penicillin, satellite technology, and transistors are genuine 20th-century breakthroughs that have improved mankind's lot tremendously. But they're notable mostly because they're exceptional -- in a century that should have built a multitude of miracles on the foundations laid in the 19th century.
Government
American government of the two centuries was as different as night and day.
In the 19th century most Americans had to cope only with local government -- which was generally small with carefully defined limits. The federal government seemed a million miles away and of little importance.
There was no federal income tax, no Federal Reserve System, no officious Washington bureaucrats overseeing every aspect of your business, no Treasury agents prying into your bank account, no FDA keeping life-saving medicines off the market.
At the end of the 19th century, government at all levels combined took only 8% of the national income. By the end of the 20th century, government consumed 47% of the national income.
The change began at the start of the 20th century. By 1913 we had an income tax, the Federal Reserve System, and numerous regulatory agencies. And every new crisis -- large or small -- was an excuse for bigger and bigger government.
War & Peace
Perhaps the biggest change came in American foreign policy.
In the 19th century, America was known as the land of peace and freedom. The Statue of Liberty stood for an idyllic America -- free of Europe's "storied pomp," a place that millions aspired to reach, where they could be free from government interference and free from perpetual war.
But the 19th century ended with the Spanish-American War -- the first U.S. war outside our own borders. Like so many wars that followed, it was a war of political ambition, rather than of national defense.
It initiated an aggressive, arrogant U.S. foreign policy that seemed to meddle everywhere -- provoking such American disasters as World War I, the attack on Pearl Harbor, World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, and the World Trade Center tragedy.
At least a half-million Americans have died because American Presidents use every petty squabble anywhere in the world to justify American intervention.
The Future
So what can we look forward to?
The 21st century has begun as the 20th ended . . .
* With politicians piling more and more government on top of us, even as they eulogize the Constitution and call America the "land of the free."
* With our government searching the world for bar-room brawls to enter, even as our leaders talk of America as a "peace-loving" country.
* With no faith in the individualism that made the 19th century a period of spectacular progress -- lifting tens of millions of people out of poverty.
* With absolute faith that -- whatever the problem, whatever the cause, whatever the consequences -- every solution must come from Washington, imposing by force the opinions of people like Teddy Kennedy, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and John McCain.
The only question seems to be whether we will be ruled by arrogant liberals who know how to run our lives -- or by arrogant conservatives who know how to run the whole world.
I pray that we can find a rebirth of freedom in America -- and turn away from government, back to the libertarian foundation that provided the good we still enjoy.
I'm not overly hopeful. But I'm not giving up.
