Some Freedom Resources

From time to time, as I accumulate links to pages I think might be useful resources to those seeking their own individual freedom I will post them in Daily Freedom.

There are literally thousands of pages on the WEB, supposedly dedicated to freedom and liberty. Most are scams, or useless and I try to carefully weed those out. Whether any of these sites provide methods interesting to you, what they all demonstrate is, however you choose to freely live your life, you can, and someone is already doing it.

Permanent Traveler—Live Anywhere

• The Computer Nomad—”Use the Internet to Live, Love, and Prosper Anywhere in the World”

• Thrilling Heroics—The site owner is Cody McKibben, who says, “my passion is to help others break free from the conventional template lifestyle—liberating you from traditional ways of thinking about work and life, building your own (entrepreneurial) projects, living a kick-ass remarkable life, and doing good for others,” which all sounds good, individualistic and ambitious, except for the “going good for others,” bit. Our idea of doing good for other is Paul Baran, “an independent individualist, living his own life for his own sake, and the entire world is the beneficiary”.

Another bit of caution. He is associated with the sight Sovereign Man, which is run by one Mr. Simon Black who is associated with the the Scam artist, Porter Stansberry.

Like many of these sites, there are some good ideas, but those that sound too good to be true, are.

• Location Independent—”Are you fed up with having to live by the rules? The rules which say you have to work really hard, make lots of money just so you can buy a house with a big mortgage. And then work even harder to pay off that mortgage, until you can retire with a nice little nest egg pension—and finally start enjoying your life? That didn’t sound great to us—and if this doesn’t sound like the path you want to take either, you’ve come to the right place—it’s the reason why we became Location Independent Professionals (LIPs), living and working from anywhere in the world we choose.”

• Cheap RV Living—Living and Traveling Full or Part-Time in a Van, Car, or RV. There are also lots of interesting stories on his RVing On The Cheap page.

Offshore Investment/Business

• Financial Page International—”An Independent Financial Advisory Company that has registered offices in Hong Kong, The British Virgin Islands, Belize, Shanghai and Beijing.”

• Panama Legal—Panama Legal, S.A. is a Guatemala Law Firm, with capabilities of handling and advising about almost all offshore investment and banking issues.

• The Sovereign Society—This is a Florida company. I know two of the principles: John A. Pugsley—Chairman, and Mark Nestmann, L.L.M.—Wealth Preservation and International Tax Planning. They both are sound individualists and both have sound track records. Worth looking into.

• Programmes for Wealth International (PWI)—Affiliated with the deVere Group, “the world’s largest independent international financial consultancy group providing services and products to international investors and expatriates. The services are typically to suit clients medium to long term requirements for investments, savings and pensions. With in excess of US$7 billion of funds under administration and management, deVere has more than fifty thousand clients in over a hundred countries and 40 offices worldwide.”

• The Freebooter—Offers some real, if somewhat radical, solutions to offshore investment and privacy, especially for the PT type freedom seeker.

• Freedom Portal—An almost endless chain of links—many good, many broken. An interesting place to explore if you have nothing else to do.

Privacy

• PrivacySecrets—See, they are not really secrets if they are on the Internet. Mostly marketing various schemes and “tricks,” some of which are true enough, but you do not have to pay to learn them. Not recommended.

• TrilightZone—They offer several online and Internet privacy services from secure email to anonymous hosting.
