Strategic Relocation

[Dumpster Diver]

Yup, moved from the coast to the mountains (above 4000’ & 300 miles away from the ocean) in a militarily defendable small town due to “issues”.

It's interesting that in the US those who were formerly very much associated with the NSA, CIA, and various Defense Dept groups, have unanimously moved to or purchased locations in advance of a move to, New Zealand.
And they are not broke tourists by any means.

When you see these ex-Agency aligned types making a move, it is for a reason.

Brought to mind an old memory of a book I read when I was in the 6th grade that really shook me to the core back then.
Funny how some books can remain vivid in our minds even years later.
"On the Beach" by Nevil Shute
on the cover page it said:
"This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper."

New Zealand... I was there a month ago and it still is pretty much as I remembered it.
Relocating there would cost at least 3 million NZ$ now (10 in most cases), unless you are young with a special skill. Depends on one's nationality too.

Spending 6 months a year in NZ and the other 6 months in AUS could work, as a tourist.

Yes, Sue(Ayt), that was a good book. I saw the 2000 movie version. Just one of those who moved there is Chuck Missler (I believe he is deceased now), the Christian author of end of the world books and themes.
Missler was a figurehead in bringing the "Year Two Thousand Bug" (a.k.a. "Y2K bug") to the attention of the Christian community. Funny, but Wikipedia wipes his connections, but I can assure you that he was with the DoD for many years, and a Cryptographer as well with the NSA.
I've been to New Zealand - I lived there for two months; in fact I thought I might like to move there, back in the 1980s, but it was not for me. I also lived in Australia for about 3 months - thinking I might move there, but I was not able to tune in to the culture.
Australia, from what I have been reading, and certainly not from personal knowledge, seems to be having its own problems of late - at least since Covid. New Zealand could certainly support a good sized population on its resources (if you like lamb of course), but what I found interesting was that rats, when they desert a ship, nearly always find another tidy location to breed and grow, and for some reason several of these types moved there.

Yes, it was much, much easier in the 1980s when I checked it out = but you still needed a tidy sum (which I had at the time) or a skill set or both. I made the mistake of renting a car, on a rainy day, and driving from Auckland to the northern islands - even with the air on and the windows up the smell of those sheep will remain in my memory forever. But the people are much different IMHO from Aust. and seemed nice.

I should also mention that I just read today that the USA is making a "gift" of 250 Million to Belize.
They haven't asked for anything yet, and the Representatives in Belize are still debating taking it.
They tried the same thing in Costa Rica - for some reason they would just love to have a small base here, or in Belize - but why? They already have bases in El Salvador and Honduras - both of which neighbor Belize and to some extent are extended neighbors of Costa Rica. My guess is yet another hiding spot for some elites.
I'm also a citizen of Belize, and although I am no longer a resident, I have a warm spot in my heart for those great people, so I hope the US doesn't try anything there.
China tried the same thing here, twice. Perhaps all of the ones that are making the mess are beginning to set themselves up for the short term future?

It also makes me question the recent arrival of Russian ships in Cuba. Yes, it could be part of the game they are playing on a world stage - but it could also include the advance group to a small colony - although being only some hundred or more miles from the huge AF Base in Miami would not seem to be clear thinking - unless they took that target off their list.

I live in Australia and, personally, I would not elect to relicate to a "five eyes" nation. They are all heading in the, direction of becoming big time surveillance states. I'm looking to get out, but it will take some time.

I give no higher credit than to Billy meier when it comes to predictions.

Australia and the Peru area are the best places to be once **** gets really hot.

So suck it up...
Don't let them vaccinate you...
And I'm not kidding...I think you're good

A relocation destination within the next 15-20 years or so is one thing, but beyond that is probably going to be another, according to what Ben Davidson of SuspiciousObservers and other scientists are predicting.
And the data seems conclusive.
A big enough CME to bring down the planet's electric grid is likely to happen sooner than that 15-20 year window, so the wherewithall to live off-grid becomes increasingly more of a necessity.
After that, living conditions may be greatly altered from what they are now from continent to continent, and places that are favorable now climatically, may not be soon... and vice versa.
So... a lot depends on what your timeframe is.

There are many factors.
An oil tanker just went over and caused a big spill in the Philippines, scale that up to every vessel containing oil or chemicals going over spilling their cargo. God knows where the tsunamis and slosh backs will drop all that stuff, far inland possibly, affecting fresh water supplies etc.
Same for nuclear plants worldwide, mostly located at shores or rivers.
It will be messy where ever.

Personally I am in free flow trying to trust my guidance on all matters. So far its keeping me firmly in West Wales at 80m above sea level with the beach 10 mins away.

May we all be in the best places when the time comes.

I've been following this guy's YT channel since the summer when he was making 'Car Camping' in the UK videos.

He has a Thai wife and 2 great kids and lives in Leicester since returning to UK after living in Thailand for a decade as, originally, a vagabond adventurer. A month before Christmas he set out on a new venture to find out if returning to Thailand as a family is a doable option now that his YT channel has become his prime/sole income.

As you can easily imagine, he's had-it to the gills with broken Britain so with his family's blessings he's been travelling around Thailand making videos and has recently arrived at his favourite island where he's now house hunting. Two weeks ago he was up in the far north trying to get through a border crossing into Myanmar which could easily have got him killed.

Today's video is almost a straight house hunting video as you'd expect any house hunting video so I thought I'd plonk it here in this thread for any relocation dreamers to watch. If I was 30 years younger I'd be packing up my life here and pricing plane ticket to do the same. He has one special advantage of course, his wife IS Thai.

Many thanks, and excellent. I've posted several times over the years that if I weren't in Ecuador, Thailand would have been my close #2 choice for relocation. It has a LOT going for it.

Moreover, my choice in Thailand would also have been the island of Koh Samui, where this video was filmed. A soon as I started watching it, I realized "OMG, I know that beach." Everything he reports in his video is spot-on correct.

Thailand has always been fairly high in this line of thinking.

I am curious about more of southeast Asia, such as Vietnam, Cambodia, or even Muslim-majority places such as Malaysia and Indonesia. Being someone who is "stuck" in a phenomenally unhappy manner, so far it is difficult to conceive of any American state as being a preferred destination, and I have little hope for any of the Five Eyes, their Euro cronies, or other plebiscites. On the other hand, Russia is too cold, and I don't think I would qualify for citizenship in Iran, because of its "theocracy", you have to join one of four religions. Egypt only has three. Some other places are not as strict. I don't know that there is necessarily a problem with "Muslim majority" if it is not the oppressive kind.

There's a sad follow up video to that one. Having agreed, including his family, with a new home builder to buy a development plot project house, he returned 3 weeks later to find the agreement wasn't going to be fulfilled, after all. He'd asked for, and it had been agreed to, adjustments to the plan. Houses are selling so well there now that the boss of the operation couldn't be bothered with making the changes when he could so easily sell the house without the changes.

He's heading back to the UK to reconsider his options.
