We shall spend some summer time in Europe before the nations go completely revolutionary as they often enough did in the past, or totally mad as once every so often, and worse.
Greece is a goner. As to how far I am as yet unsure. Maybe just an Argentina should Greece stay in the euro until kicked out, and / or possibly Zimbabwe once it leaves the Euro or is kicked out.
After the forks in the road that leads to Argentina and / or loops back to inescapable Zimbabwe, the cradle of electioneering may once again show us to the path of Weimar Deutscheland, and from there the reverse-Buddha signage of military dictatorship for and by the people could again be. Should Greece go that way, Turkish invasion and punishment would be just around the corner per humanitarian intervention as sponsored by Putin per Libya protocol. The future holds much interesting possibilities, ultimately working out for the doubtless better, but I suspect only after the D.K. (Darkest Interregnum).
Before Greece progresses further along the false trail of so many pretender to salvations, my relation shall join a group of long retired biz and political types to engage in adventure travel to Greece, around the Mediterranean, including Jerusalem, and then retreating back to freedom mountain Kowloon and money rock hong kong, land of savings, learning, investment, and island of freedom, rule of sensible laws, and fiscal surplus.
The group has seen and participated in revolutions, counter-revolutions, and upheavals close up from all political angles and sides, and should be good as firsthand reporters of the goings on. Many of the group, all in their late 70s and mid-80s, had engaged with one Tobagojack to discourse about gold, chat platinum, ruminate over stocks, and gush over HK real estate, and interestingly insisted that their children w/i age band of 40 and up participate, to sit, listen, and learn at the cost of tuition of seafood dinners. One gentleman of substance stated that he is, "re-emerging from the mountain retreat to engage with the rivers and lakes because we are entering the critical period" and suspected that his kids are not totally equipped for what shall surely happen.
All very exciting to listen to the senior generation talk about their experience of turbulences past, and am giddy with anticipation to live history.
FYI, they seem to be okay w/ my assessment and rationale re the 6-14 years elapsed time to the definitive crisis at the center of the empire, the suspected and once-for-all dollar supernova event to cap off the process of collapse ala rebirthing cries of kingdom and dying anguish of empire.
Let us see if the cradle of electioneering has anything to teach other electioneering homelands anything worthwhile. As far as funding gap of resources vs obligations, Greece is in substantially better shape than the empire, mathematically speaking, and so the velocity and interim ledges of Greece can only serve as reference milestones. As model, but only making sense as we complicate the model with ethnic this and military adventure that, along with a rapidly failing state that is increasingly ruled by drug lords.
For years we have supported the Greek-fathered son of a past Filipino helper, sending him to Manila private school and now graduating from university of Philippines. His father had passed away years ago in the middle east. The boy is now, at our encouragement, engaging with his Greek relations including grandmother and uncles and half-sibling. Maybe his Greek relations can escape to the Philippines to engage with more certain future.
As far as tradeable citizenships go, HK stands tall at usd 1.25m usd and with daily rationing of intakes as USA drops to knee-capped halving of 500k usd per same schumer of the initiative to punish someone who escaped with facebook loot.
What is the number in nz?
In the mean time Europe is dropping to a lower interim ledge as far as vacation lodging goes, allowing us to allocate half of earlier year budgets to count on twice as worthwhile holiday abode. Deflation seem to have upsides, as I had always suspected, and am not sure why the fed is so dedicated to bankrupt its tax-serfs to save them from bargains. Last summer we called mere 4-hectares home. This time we shall have call on park, river, lake, etc etc all wrapping around a severely symmetrical country home of confident nobleman. Art lessons for Erita shall be included, and jack can roam the range for as far as the eye can see and gobble on as much cheese as he might wish. All sounds very interesting, especially if the pre-revolution warm-up exercises get going. Grape juice and cheese might go well with revolutions.
Last year we only managed to front-run a family from china by one day, and they moved in as we moved out. Globalization was too close for comfort and this year we hope to put some distance between ourselves and enveloping globalization per peaceful rise, and should it turn out that we failed to front-run by more than 24 hours, or, gad, worse, are front-ran, I would observe all going more according to my Teotwawki script than I feel comfortable with, but must live with.
Oh, yes, you are off of ignore for the moment, until not, as and when, with or without warning, per same protocol as rule by making up rules, just to get you into practice :0)
