(…and hopefully I will be spared the ridiculous and paranoid mantra, that climate change is a vast international conspiracy among 10s of thousands of scientists to get more research grant money)
[/quote]You won’t hear any conspiracy theories from me regarding climate change….unless the sun is out out get us. There are theories on both sides of the fence regarding climate. I am no scientist but I have been around for almost 63 years and weather seems quite extreme lately.
I was a licensed Customs Broker in Miami. Personal effects acquired abroad and used for a period of more than one year return as duty free.
There is a Personal effects form (CF3299) which needs to be completed and presented to US Customs along with shipping documents and passports and visa copies. A fair value must be assigned to the effects by the owner and listed on the CF3299 as well.

I’ll guess it’s close. You can tell from their desired locations. They wanna live in Miami but can’t afford it.[/quote]Mostly, only people who are ignorant of what a tropical climate is really like want to live in Miami…or the coastal areas of CR. I live in Miami and am anxious to move to Alajuela to escape the Miami heat.
The last time I looked, the odds of suffering from violent crime in Costa Rica out side of the bigger cities are pretty slim. I should think a few dogs and a pistol would be more than sufficient.
People in the States seem to need quite a bit more.
The Fed creates money out of thin air. It lends that fiat (fake) money to the government. The Treasury bonds are the government promise in writing to pay the bank real money for the fake money that bank loaned.
The government gets the real money for which to pay off that bank loan from citizens who have to work and produce value in exchange for the fake IOU fiat currency. Thus the banks, via the government, extract our wealth and hollow out the country.
Nearly all of the income tax collected is used to pay the interest the banks charge on that loaned fake money. According to a study ordered by president Reagan back in the 80’s, income tax collected does NOT go towards infrastructure.
Think about it;
The government borrows money from the banks at interest in exchange for Treasury bonds. The government then buys the treasury bonds back from the banks with that borrowed money (to the tune of $85 billion a month). The banks create the money out of thin air, loan it to the government and are finally given it back WITH INTEREST.You forget that the ability to pay is based on ability to earn. Since there is NO FAIRNESS in the latter so why should you expect fairness in the former?
Or maybe you think that thieving elitists, banksters, politicians and those with connections have every right to steal as much as they can from the rest of society? I don’t.
All of you cry babies who complain about socialism are blind to the reality that it is NOT collectivists who are running the show right now. They are not using capitalism either. At this stage of their game, these tyrants are using fascism.
And when their game is over, (soon) you will have forgotten all the “isms” they invented to keep us at each others’ throats and to keep our focus diffused from their objective. You will be totally dominated and enslaved because you were too busy scrapping with each other over useless politics, racism, religion and false flag wars.
I don’t respect soldiers, religions, politicians, wealth hoarders, enabling bureaucrats, voters or anyone else who participates or believes in the above stupidities. The world richly deserves what is coming. I just hate being dragged along for the ride.
Kwite..
I also am doing the same as you…except for the bibles (like fiat currency, bibles are just more useless paper lies).
But let’s not stray from focus on the common enemy because of religion again. That tired, old tool is still being used by the elites to distract and divide us.
It is encouraging for me to find others who are awake to the real world, even if they are still carrying some of the old enslaving control mechanisms such as religion. You understand the core problem which is that we have had a large group of psychopaths running the show for so long.
The big question for me is whether or not one can avoid enough of the worst of the coming suffering by “digging in” in Costa Rica.
The suggestion that people look to develop useful skills to avoid suffering the crash presumes there is sufficient time to do so. I am not optimistic enough to make that presumption. I suspect it is too late to make meaningful preparations.
I don’t think there is a way for most people to escape some suffering to varying degrees and perhaps for some, even fatal consequences of the coming mess. Look at how many do not even accept the possibility of a severe economic crash.
How many retirees are counting on Social Security? Social Security money confiscated from pay checks and added to the federal treasury has long ago been absorbed into the convoluted accounting mess. And the US government is insolvent. Period.
Skill development? What can a man or woman retiree do to earn a living in Costa Rica after the crash?
If you do not have physical precious metals stored in your possession sufficient for survival, perhaps a useful skill in begging or in picking fruit from trees in the wild may come in handy. But there is already stiff primate competition for the fruit in Costa Rica….While you guys are busy cutting benefits to illegal aliens and the handicapped and ill, let’s also cut all benefits to all ex military and all other ex government employees. How about that?
As far as I am concerned, any “work” done for the government is work done against the rest of us. From the soldier who murdered an entire family in Iraq to the civil servant who pushes paper all day to prolong this mess to the president of the country, they all have done and are doing harm to varying degrees. Why reward them?
Davidd,
Many US expats in CR are retired. Some portion of that group will not be able to or willing to start to develop new survival skills. They have few options besides relying on savings and pensions and both of those sources of income are at risk due to the coming currency crash.
Gold, silver, lead (bullets) and food is the only option.
Thanks for posting, KS. The fact that this item is being manufactured and retailed is evidence that there is a contemplated market for fungible gold at the retail level. It also indicates that people are considering ways to carry real money with them…. Perhaps internationally.
I am protecting some of my money with precious physical metal but I don’t know exactly how this melt down will shake out.
The bad thing about precious metals is that the elite and the banks have been buying a lot of it. If we go to gold or silver backed currency again, the same slime balls will still be in control.Regardless of differing explanations we have for the current mess, many of us agree it is a big mess and many of us are angry and disgusted with what has happened and with what is happening.
What concerns me is the number of people who have no clue as to the seriousness of our situation.
Based on my conversations, it is my impression that too many do not understand that we lost our republic some time ago.
These people will do nothing to bring it back. The system will come down whether of its own weight or because the elites make it happen so that they can set up a new order (Ordo ab chaos)
After that happens, the same bad guys will return to power and all of us will suffer the consequences of the apathy and ignorance of those who ignored reality.
