We are all born into a world that operates on very old software. Software that was designed centuries ago and operates on principles and parameters that would be laughable if not for the human suffering and impediment to the advancement of the species it ensures. Citizenship Some people never really become aware of this, but […]
I was recently interviewed by James Guzman over at Borderless. Borderless is interested in breaking down both the political and psychological barriers that restrict us from living life on our own terms. They focus on the pragmatic, real world ways it can be done right now by virtually anyone. I hope you listen to the […]
Do you consider yourself to be free? Are you more free today than you were ten years ago? Twenty years ago? Do you think our society is moving toward more individual freedom, or away from it? What I see is steadily increasing regulation of every individual’s activities and what he is ‘allowed’ to do with […]
I had an interesting conversation with a friend of mine in Canada. He was talking about downsizing everything in his life so he could have more time and money to do some of the things he’d prefer to do. What struck both of us was the proportion of a person’s expenses that are directly or […]

Many thanks to Kevin over at Freedom Lovin‘ for interviewing me about The Freedom App and living with personal Freedom. Our discussion was eclectic and, I hope, very interesting.

Firstly, there is social Freedom that gets discussed (sometimes ad nauseum) by politicians, paid spokespeople and other manipulators of the populace. Their’s is the ‘freedom’ we will […]
As constant travelers my wife and I spend a disproportionate amount of time complying with immigration rules all over the world. She can visit Hong Kong for 90 days, I can stay for 180 days. I can visit Cuba, she cannot. I can stay in the US for 180 days, she can stay indefinitely. I […]
A tip of the hat and a thank you to the folks over at Nomad Capitalist for mentioning The Freedom App on their list of “Andrew’s Favorite Books on Finding Freedom.” After mentioning greats like Harry Browne, Frank Chodorov, Albert Jay Nock and Doug Casey, Andrew Henderson says; “This book outlines how life boils down […]
I’m a person who pretty much thinks about building Freedom every waking moment. Since I know Freedom is about control over my property without interference from any unwanted party I’m sensitive to when interference happens, to say the least. One of the rare transactions I completely enjoy is having my laundry done when I’m living […]
To some people, their citizenship is a very significant part of their identity. Others see their citizenship as basically an accident of what latitude and longitude their mother was at the day she delivered a baby and what political powers of the day were claiming authority over those coordinates. In either case, most of us […]
It’s always been tough for Americans. Unlike citizens of Spain, Germany, Australia, Canada and virtually every other developed country, Americans have to pay income taxes to Uncle Sugar no matter where they live and what they do.
