Well, North Americans should not feel left out. The U.S. government was also overthrown by similar forces way back in 1913. This kind of thing has happened everywhere…except Cuba perhaps.
spriteMemberThese things look good for a nomadic experience in a wilderness, but how long would it take your local Tico thief to pull a yurt down and haul away any or all of it?
While the removable contents of any unoccupied building are never completely secure from thieves, couldn’t a trip to the local beach for a week end end up surprising a returning yurt owner with a vacant lot? It’s one thing to lose a TV or lap top to a thief. It’s quite another to lose the very roof over your head.
spriteMemberThe creation, movement and all other relevant manipulation of currency is highly regulated by the same people. It stands to reason, then, that the only parties who could successfully “launder” currency consistently are those very people.
I suspect that various scapegoat underlings and suckers who are employed by the banking cartels for money laundering are occasionally sacrificed or eliminated for various reasons, one of which may be to misdirect our attention from the true criminals, the bankers. These suckers make the headlines. And even when the banks are caught, they get a tiny fine and nobody goes to jail. This happened just recently with Bank of America.
spriteMember[quote=”rfalves”][quote=”Disabled Veteran”]I am in the first stage of considering purchasing a convertible second car for my wife in Costa Rica. Anyone have any insights or suggestions?[/quote]
Just my opinion, I would not buy a Toyota anywhere. Why, well in the best 3 or 4 years at least in the USA they have had millions of cars recalled. To me that is not a sign of a company that cares about quality of the car. Ron USCG Ret[/quote]Name me one major brand that has NOT had a recall.
Toyota is still the best.spriteMemberDaihatsu is distributed by Toyota. I have rented this product over the last 5 years in CR and the mileage is very good, although these smaller SUV’s have much less substantial feel to them than my Toyota FJ cruiser that I drive in Miami.
The Suzuki models are also seen everywhere right now but I suspect that Daihatsu may be seen more and more as economies continue to wind down and more inexpensive cars are sought.
Buy a newer model car that you see a lot on the roads in Costa Rica…and Totyota, Daihatsu and Suzuli seem to dominate. Stay away from Jeep as they are mechanically inferior in every way from my experience.spriteMemberJust take a look at what the rental agencies are offering to customers, especially Toyota.

What a horrible feeling to be running from the U.S. government. That just can’t turn out good for you. I think your initial post gave the impression that you just wanted to run from the law and that’s why you got jumped..[/quote]
To one degree or another, nearly every US citizen is either running from, resisting or bending to enslavement by the US government. Some of us, maybe most of us, do all three. If you don’t understand what is happening, if you don’t have enough information, you are in no position to pass judgement on anyone else.
spriteMemberAren’t we missing some details here? Are children involved? The judgement may have been legal, but was it just? I love the way people jump the gun and immediately assume a higher moral ground and assume the government is always correct. I would hold back any moral assessment because the story is not complete.
spriteMemberWhy not make a full list of people you would like to discourage from moving to CR? I’ll bet any of us could make a long, inclusive list which, if enforced, would ensure a homogeneous population of goodly people having values of cultural, religious, political and racial characteristics similar to ours. Then, the next step would be to rid the country of those who are already here and do not fit the list.
I am no fan of deadbeat dads, sexual tourists, petty thieves, hunters or wealthy, chauvinistic foreigners whose aim it is to exploit for profit. But so far, I haven’t yet felt saintly enough to try to exclude them from where I live…or want to live.
spriteMemberAre you sure you can escape ANY debt by running? Taxes are most certainly a debt and I suspect that the government is a pretty effective debt collector no matter where you are.
spriteMember[quote=”DavidCMurray”]The U.S. Supreme Court has held from the beginning that state law cannot take precedence over federal law. That is the principle of Constitutional supremacy. It really is pretty straightforward.[/quote]
That is absolutely INCORRECT.
“The Supremacy Clause only applies if the federal government is acting in pursuit of its constitutionally authorized powers, as noted by the phrase “in pursuance thereof” in the actual text of the Supremacy Clause itself.”Right now, the TSA is violating our 4th amendment rights. Any state which legislates in order to oppose federal violation of authorized powers would NOT be opposing the Supremacy Clause, rather that action would be SUPPORTING the Supremacy Clause.
But constitutions are just printed words on paper and are no protection or guarantor of rights. It takes living, conscious people who are willing and able to apply energy to do that end. I am living. I am also aware of the problem but I am no longer willing to apply my diminished energy to the solution.
spriteMemberAny ideas as to what other options the Fed has to extend the trajectory to a worthless currency beyond this decade? Maybe I am looking at too many negative articles but the consensus seems to be that very soon, perhaps within a few years, the dollar will be no more.
spriteMemberDavid,
This is what my siblings say to me. However diatribe refers to a “bitter and abusive” criticism. How could a criticism of abusive government be abusive?spriteMember[quote=”DavidCMurray”]And constitutional supremacy be damned![/quote]
Constitutional supremacy only applies when constitutional federal law contradicts state law. There IS NO constitutional federal law which permits public servants to make unreasonable search and seizure of citizens. In fact,the Texans are defending themselves against a violation of the 4th amendment of the Bill of Rights.
What do citizens do when their federal government has been high jacked by a European banking cartel and ignores the 4th amendment? A better question is what do citizens do when their own government declares war on them? Blockades are a declaration of war any place on the planet. President Jefferson stated that the people have an obligation to revolt when their government becomes tyrannical.
I don’t know if there are enough US citizens who are aware, awake and willing to make the sacrifices required to tear down this criminal government. I am older and more tired now and feel I no longer have a stake in this drama so I am not willing to sacrifice. I only wish to flee this insanity to Costa Rica and hope the tyranny doesn’t migrate south as well.
spriteMemberThe answer to your 2nd question is that we have been deceived and enslaved off and on since ANdrew Jackson’s presidency.
The answer to your 1st question is undisputed by anyone; we will have hyperinflation and the dollar could end up as totally worthless. The dollars inyour possession will only be useful as very high quality toilet paper…and toilet paper will be in high demand at that time as anyone with a US dollar bank account will be $hitting him/herself uncontrollably.
