So it is the same guy eh? I see he charges [url=http://www.goldenjackass.com/subscribe.html]$110 for a six month subscription to allow his disciples to receive his pearls of wisdom.

Whether he is a kook or not is personal perception. To MY personal perception, he seems to believe the sky is falling and he is running around in circles with one foot nailed to the floor, with a golden gleam in his eye. Many of his frenetic pronouncements are nothing if not laughable. [Also, with little or no primary relevance to Costa Rica].[/quote]

So you do not suspect any great change is coming; no dollar collapse, no great depression, no hyper inflation or defaltion….everything is just fine…right?

[quote=”sprite”]I heard a comment from an interview with Dr Jim Willie, an American financial adviser living in Costa Rica, that Retirement benefit checks for Costa Ricans have been cut in half. He further stated that the new CR president is taking advice from the US on how to improve government revenues with such measures as well as with new taxes. If this us true, it does not bide well for expats in Costa Rica.[/quote]

First, tell me who exactly says Dr Jim Willie is a kook.
If you start quoting Fox News or ANY government official or anyone who is equally credentialed as Dr Willie but who also subscribe to government propaganda, then I think the real kook will be obvious.

Secondly, before trying to discredit the source, can you answer my query?

Good post, Snodad. It rings true and illustrates that acting on a decision is not always a snap of the fingers. It is a process.
I take note of your reference to the heat. I don’t tolerate heat after 32 years in Miami. My mountain property in CR is high enough to experience spring like weather which means very cool nights and day temps not exceeding the low 80’s. I always take the opportunity to advise gringos who dream of retirement to a tropical beach that living in tropical heat 24/7 may not be the paradise they imagine.

Not “as opposed to” but in conjunction with….

The people who occupy what they call Israel today are not even the same blood line as the original Hebrews that once lived there a few thousand years ago. The modern day occupants are Europeans claiming to be the heirs of the old Jewish nation.
We all have a stake in this conflict. Israel is governed by sociopaths and they have nukes. The US is also governed by crazy gangsters and they have nukes as well.

Right now, those of us living in the States are insulated from the most damaging ravages of the violence of empire. But the tools of empire always come home to roost and are always unleashed eventually upon the homeland citizens.There is already ample evidence of a building police state in the US as our police receive training from the Israelis on civilian population control. Costa Rica is looking more and more like a refuge from the coming violence.

There we go, I knew we’d get there eventually. As usual in discussions with you, anyone who doesn’t see things exactly as you do must be either stupid, ignorant or brainwashed.[/quote]

Nope. I don’t call people stupid because that would be cruel. Stupidity is hard wired and is a condition deserving of pity and empathy.
But I do accuse people of ignorance and succumbing to propaganda because I know they can work their way out of those conditions. I have done to some small degree.

There may be two sides to this issue, but only one side has a moral advantage. If you think there are two sides to consider, please post valid images from the Zionist side of the Zionist wall of hundreds of slain Jewish children similar to the images of slain Palestinian children.

Sweikert has suffered a severe degree of mind control and his opinion is valuable only in the context of observing the degree of propaganda influence on US citizens. In this case, US media portrays the Zionists as brave defenders against terrorism but they cannot ignore the completely one sided nature of this aggression so they blame the victims to mitigate the horrific images of this outrageous crime.

Israel is governed by sociopaths who have named themselves “Zionists” and the brutal elitist program for domination being imposed on the imprisoned population in Gaza is funded by US income tax payers.
Next time you bend over and prepare for your yearly “voluntary” IRS reaming, keep in mind that you are being forced to contribute to the creation of the following scenes;

If this stuff doesn’t make your blood boil, then your mind, your being and your spirit have been polluted and co-opted into the Zionist insanity.

Most problems have solutions. The solution to this one is to renounce US citizenship. Freedom always has a cost.

[quote=”Scott”]Being “right” or “wrong” with any investment is not important – you can sometimes be wrong with your initial investment criteria and still make money and you can be correct with your initial assumptions and still lose money.

The most important thing is that you decide on what level of risk you are financially and emotionally capable of handling, that you are managing your risk to the best of your abilities and that you are making money…

Scott,
You are addressing the issue of proper money management, a subject I am certain of which you are an expert. I am talking about the coming evisceration of most paper instruments. I am not timing the event, only pointing out that it seems to me to be imminent and inevitable.

I love the farmers’ markets where I have shopped; San Ramon, Atenas and Palmares. The little grocery stores that are everywhere carry some basics and usually little to no American processed food, the very stuff we should avoid in any case.

I never pay too much attention to food prices. I have to assume that Ticos are able to afford the cost of food and I know that their incomes are far below those of the US and Canada. And I strongly suspect the Costa Rican diet is healthier at a much lower cost than what most of us have been used to in the States.

There are a lot of people who have life savings in 401k’s and the markets. I have trouble imagining what all those people will do and how they will react when they are ruined financially by the coming reset.
