Why are so many people leaving the United States right now? Over the
past couple of years, an increasing number of Americans have decided
that moving to another country is the best way to prepare for the
collapse of America. According to the U.S. State Department, an
all-time record of more than 6 million Americans are now working or
studying overseas. Of course many of those that have left the country
do not believe that the U.S. economy is going to collapse, but without a
doubt there are an increasing number of preppers that believe that now
is the time to “escape from America” while they still can. And
certainly there are a lot of reasons why the U.S. is becoming less
appealing with each passing day. In addition to our
economic problems, crime
is on the rise in our cities, our liberties and freedoms
are being eroded at
a frightening pace, political correctness is wildly out of control, and
our corrupt politicians continue to make things even worse. But is
life really that much better in the rest of the world? The sad truth is
that life in most other nations is more difficult than it is in the
United States. Yes, there are some nations that are relatively stable
and that look promising at first glance, but the truth is that moving to
another country is never easy. If you plan to do it, there are some
hard questions that you need to ask yourself first.
If you plan to move permanently to another nation, it would be wise
to visit first. The way that things work in a foreign country is often
very, very different from how things work in the United States. If you
are not accustomed to being in a foreign culture, it can feel like your
whole world is being turned upside down.
But of course it is definitely possible to make a successful
transition to another culture. Millions of Americans have done it. The
following is from a
recent RT article…
Ever dream of leaving it all behind and heading out of
America? You’re not the only one. A new study shows that more US
citizens than ever before are living outside of the country.
According to statistics from the US State Department, around 6.4
million Americans are either working or studying overseas, which Gallup
says is the largest number ever for such statistic.
The polling organization came across the number after conducting
surveys in 135 outside nations and the information behind the numbers
reveal that this isn’t exactly a longtime coming either — numbers have
skyrocketed only in recent years. In the 24 months before polling began,
the number of Americans between the ages of 25 and 34 living abroad
managed to surge from barely 1 percent to over 5.1 percent. For those
under the age span wishing to move overseas, the percentage has jumped
in the same amount of time from 15 percent to 40.
But picking up and moving to a foreign nation is not something to be done lightly.
The following are 10 questions to ask yourself before you decide to move to another country…
Do You Speak The Language? If Not, How Will You Function?
If you do not speak the language of the country that you are moving
to, that can create a huge problem. Just going to the store and buying
some food will become a challenge. Every interaction that you have with
anyone in that society will be strained, and your ability to integrate
into the culture around you will be greatly limited.
How Will You Make A Living?
Unless you are independently wealthy, you will need to make money.
In a foreign nation, it may be very difficult for you to find a job –
especially one that pays as much as you are accustomed to making in the
United States.
Will You Be Okay Without Your Family And Friends?
Being thousands of miles away from all of your family and friends can
be extremely difficult. Will you be okay without them? And it can be
difficult to survive in a foreign culture without any kind of a support
system. Sometimes the people that most successfully move out of the
country are those that do it as part of a larger group.
Have You Factored In Weather Patterns And Geological Instability?
As the globe becomes increasingly unstable, weather patterns and
natural disasters are going to become a bigger factor in deciding where
to live. For example, right now India is suffering through the worst
drought that it has experienced
in nearly 50 years. It would be very difficult to thrive in the middle of such an environment.
Many of those that are encouraging people to “escape from America”
are pointing to Chile as an ideal place to relocate to. But there are
thousands of significant earthquakes in Chile each year, and the entire
nation lies directly along the “Ring of Fire” which is becoming
increasingly unstable. That is something to keep in mind.
What Will You Do For Medical Care?
If you or someone in your family had a serious medical problem in the
United States, you would know what to do. Yes, our health care system
is
incredibly messed up,
but at least you would know that you could get the care that you needed
if an emergency arose. Would the same be true in a foreign nation?
Are You Moving Into A High Crime Area?
Yes, crime is definitely on the rise in the United States. But in
other areas where many preppers are moving to, crime is even worse.
Mexico and certain areas of Central America are two examples of this.
And in many foreign nations, the police are far more corrupt than they
generally are in the United States.
In addition, many other nations have far stricter gun laws than the
United States does, so your ability to defend your family may be greatly
restricted.
So will your family truly be safe in the nation that you plan to take them to?
Are You Prepared For “Culture Shock”?
Moving to another country can be like moving to a different planet. After all, they don’t call it “culture shock” for nothing.
If you do move to another country, you may quickly find that
thousands of little things that you once took for granted in the U.S.
are now very different.
And there is a very good chance that many of the “amenities” that you
are accustomed to in the U.S. will not be available in a foreign nation
and that your standard of living will go down.
So if you are thinking of moving somewhere else, you may want to
visit first just to get an idea of what life would be like if you made
the move.
What Freedoms and Liberties Will You Lose By Moving?
Yes, our liberties and our freedoms are being rapidly eroded in the
United States. But in many other nations around the world things are
much worse. You may find that there is no such thing as “freedom of
speech” or “freedom of religion” in the country that you have decided to
move to.
Is There A Possibility That The Country You Plan To Escape To Could Be Involved In A War At Some Point?
We are moving into a time of great geopolitical instability. If you
move right into the middle of a future war zone, you might really regret
it. If you do plan to move, try to find a country that is likely to
avoid war for the foreseeable future.
When The Global Economy Collapses, Will You And Your Family Be Okay For Food?
What good will it be to leave the United States if you and your family run out of food?
Today, we are on the verge of a major global food crisis. Global food reserves are at their lowest level
in nearly 40 years, and shifting global weather patterns are certainly not helping things.
And the global elite are rapidly getting more control over the global food supply. Today,
between 75 and 90 percent of all international trade in grain is controlled by just four gigantic multinational food corporations.
But grain is not the only thing that the food giants control. Just check out the following statistics from a recent
Natural News article…
The paper said three mega-multinationals now control
better than 40 percent of global coffee sales, for example. Eight
companies control the supply of cocoa and chocolate. Seven control the
lion’s share – 85 percent – of tea production. Five multinationals
control three-quarters of the world banana trade. And the largest
half-dozen sugar traders account for about 66 percent of world trade,
the new report by theFairtrade Foundation said.
The elite are also buying up food producing real estate all over the globe. That is why farmland prices in the United States
have been absolutely skyrocketing lately.
The
people that run the world are rapidly getting a stranglehold over the global food supply.
So wherever you end up – whether it is in the United States or in
another country – you will need to make sure that you can provide enough
food for you and your family to live on independently of the system.
These are all things to think about when considering whether or not to move out of the United States.
But there are many, including some of those that regularly read my website, that have made the transition successfully.
If you have some advice that you would like to share with those that
are considering moving away from America, please feel free to share it
