From the YouTube description (Video uploaded on Nov. 2009): When thinking about the mass extermination camps of a holocaust’, think…The key to freedom is to be able to have the ability to defend yourself and if you don’t have the tools to do that, then you’re going to be at the mercy of whomever wants to put you away.
Guns are deeply rooted within Swiss culture – but the gun crime rate is so low that statistics are not even kept.
The country has a population of six million, but there are estimated to be at least two million publicly-owned firearms, including about 600,000 automatic rifles and 500,000 pistols.
This is in a very large part due to Switzerland’s unique system of national defense, developed over the centuries.
Instead of a standing, full-time army, the country requires every man to undergo some form of military training for a few days or weeks a year throughout most of their lives.
Between the ages of 21 and 32 men serve as frontline troops. They are given an M-57 assault rifle and 24 rounds of ammunition which they are required to keep at home.
Once discharged, men serve in the Swiss equivalent of the US National Guard, but still have to train occasionally and are given bolt rifles. Women do not have to own firearms, but are encouraged to.

Currently both parties are undermining the freedom and constitutional rights granted by the United States Constitution. Its time to take our country back from these corrupt, greedy, robber barons. They are all nothing but a den of thieves!!!! These officials need to be held accountable, their bribe money seized, citizenship stripped, and our country restored to one that is of the people and for the people. No more party affiliation crap. They are all bought and paid for by the same Wealthy elitists and Corporations pulling the strings. When WE THE PEOPLE finally WAKE-UP only then can their be true change!

No they aren't, i have grown up in switzerland, in Geneva, did my army there too (bi-national), infantry, anti-tank division, and I can tell you laws are strict, very strict, and no one I know owns private guns there.
Army gun are yearly checked and accounted for, you can't go and shot for pleasure with them, if you transgress the law you go to jail, no joke on that part, my cousin did 3 months for that.
This is disinformation at its best, try another one

Switzerland has "OVER" 2,000 rifle ranges. Each year, close to 200,000 Swiss participate in the Eidgenössisches Feldschiessen (annual shooting skills exercise). A several hundred-year-old tradition, the Tiro Federale in Campagna is the largest shooting event in the world.

In switzerland, people leave their guns at their shooting club, the munition are usually bought and counted before/after session at the shooting range.
The whole philosophy to gun is totally different.
You can't buy a riffle without passing some tests, security and handling, you can have license of you had any trouble with the law on the past.

Switzerland has a very homogenous population, whereas we import as many people as we can from violent and primitive cultures where life is cheap. Europe is held up to us as an example of a progressive and non-violent culture but the fact is that if you subtract the violent crime of racial minorities from America's statistics, our numbers are similar to Europe's.
Part of the problem is the work of "community activists" and "civil rights workers." Their jobs are to convince as many minority individuals as possible that they can't get an even break, that the odds are vastly against them, that life is hopeless. It's no wonder they rob and kill when they are convinced by these greedy charlatans that they can't succeed in America.

Thanks for this post Rad, but I truly see no hope in diminishing the violence we see on our streets in America until we can bring to a complete halt and reversal of our current military conduct and philosophy that our country must maintain its superior standing in the world.
We have been raised believing in lies the government has told us about just about everything. We've been led into wars believing it was to wipe out the oppression to people in foreign countries caused by communism for example, when in fact it was in order to install our own leaders who would ultimately feed the American greed machine. Kids grow up watching their country be violent, hearing their parents support these lies because frankly they don't know any better themselves. They've learned these lies from watching totally tilted news reports, and living in fear and distrust of everyone around them.
We've literally broken more countries than we have helped. It's no wonder we are the most feared and hated country in the world. I don't recall if it was in Bowling for Columbine or Capitalism: A love story, but Michael Moore interviewed teens at an archade using one of those violent shooting games, but when Michael Moore asked them if doing this stuff or seeing really violent movies doesn't make them want to go out and do it for real, their response was absolutely not, and that the idea of it was repulsive to them.
Canada does not need to prohibit its children from seeing this violence and there's a good reason for it. Their kids live in a non-violent country. Canada does not go looking to expand its financial holdings by annialating and robbing other countries. It seems Canada still embraces the Golden Rule. For our American leaders, it's a rule that has no place in American politics or policies. This is what's so sad. Until America changes, our children will continue to grow up severely damaged by the lies our country has told us, and by the outrageous conduct of the country they call "free."

Not surprising in the least. our Amercan culture here in the States is almost
built on violence as it has a Scorpio flavor to it. That we have 100 times more
gun violent deaths than any of the other countries you've listed is a tragedy.
But to be temperate, the USA has been overrun with the forces of unbridled
Capitalism w/o conscience for a very long time. And the cops here are always
on the side of Big Money. Eg: The idiots are seriously asking themselves why
fraking shouldn't go on in New York, and not whether it should, though Cool
planet can tell you it's already ruined the drinking water/health of Pennsylvania
citizens. Intelligent people have to have a high tolerance for insanity to live
normal lives here in the USA, V. There are so many deadly pitfalls to living
here that we have our hands full struggling to cope with them all. Until some
atrocity such as the Mass Murder of innocent children occurs to stir us from
complacency, the American psyche has been to trust the NRA and distrust
Government.I've myself experienced the 1st degree Reckless Endangerment & Menacing
of idiot uniformed cops aiming loaded pistols at me without probable cause
that they were deterring me from committing a violent Felony crime as if they
were actors playing cops on some TV crime drama. Even in NY cops have to
have the authority of settled law to back up their conduct else it's Official
Misconduct they're doing. Though cops here typicaly consider themselves
to be above the law which is a delusion of grandeur too many of them share.
Hence the laissez faire attitude of trusting the Government to carry firearms.
That's a large part of why I want to obtain Swiss citizenship. I've never had a
bad experience with any police in Geneva, though virtualy all my experiences
with cops here in New York have been alarmingly bad to worse. - 5 months ago

Incredulous:
The Dutch have a saying which likely serves to make their values of
calmness,rationality, level headedness known: " Since we Dutch already know
humans act crazy, it wouldn't do to make things any more hysterical than they
already are " When you stop to think about that, the mere mindfulness it serves
to bring has profound implications. Even the conservatives in the U.K. of the
Netherlands still want to reserve the custom of de facto legalization ( tolerance )
of small amounts of Cannabis & Hashish for personal, medicinal use for Dutch
citizens. It's the coffeehouse owners who advocate non Discrimination amongst
non citizen tourists. It's only some of the foreign element that can't handle the
intoxication resulting from solely the delivery method, ie smoking it. If the Dutch coffeehouses provided vaporizers to inhale it, I'll wager they could drasticly
reduce their problems with the rowdy, noisy, boisterous foreign element. The
fastest way isn't necessarily the best way. I like drinking great beer too, but I
dislike being intoxicated from too much alchohol. I myself would rather make
any medicinal herb last much much longer by simply mildly heating it in a
vaporizer to inhale the pollens/resin through the air from the outside of my
nose, than burning it and taking it in as smoke internaly all at once. Soot & tar
are bad for your lungs too. It may be a quaint habit, but I like to breath too...
Since 1968, I've always thought that was a most wasteful approach. You
wouldn't choose to burn your lungs & money too with a match if you had a
choice would you ? The non violent Karma of behaving pensively rather than
emotionaly reduces gun violent crime too. - 5 months ago

Your article, Radical Centrist, is full of errors. First of all, Switzerland does NOT have the lowest crime rate in the world - see http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/cri_tot_cri-crime-total-crimes (Switzerland ranks 31, and the population is smaller than most of the countries listed), its population is now eight million, the men serve as frontline troops between the ages of 19 and 30. When they are not serving (once a year), they leave their assault rifles and hand-guns at a military depot. Those who wish to keep them at home can do so but they are not allowed any rounds of ammunition whatsoever and undergo a full background and psychological check before they are allowed to do so. In the past, until a few decades ago, they kept a sealed box with seven bullets at home, but that is no longer the case.
I wish people would bother to find proper information about Switzerland and guns before using it as an example.
Yes, people can obtain guns, but only if they can demonstrate that they really need them, and they have to continue demonstrating their need every year. The same applies for ammunition. They also get a thorough background check by the police authorities before being issued a permit, and they have to keep their guns at home - concealed guns are not allowed. Both guns and ammunition are therefore not easy to obtain.
Hunting is also highly regulated, as are the hunting rifles. Guns for skilled sport shooting are also difficult to obtain and have to be left at the shooting range.

A League of Our Own: gun culture in Israel and Switzerland isn’t anything like it is in the United States.
[snip]
A privilege, not a right
Both Israel and Switzerland put the onus on would-be gun owners to explain why they need these weapons. Israel limits gun ownership to security workers, people who transport valuables or explosives, residents of the West Bank, and hunters. People who don’t fall into one of those categories cannot obtain a firearm permit. Moreover, Israel rejects 40 percent of firearm permit applicants, the highest rejection rate in the Western world. Both Switzerland and Israel require yearly (or more frequent) permit renewals to insure that the reasons are still applicable. New Jersey is one of few U.S. states that requires a reason for buying a handgun.Far from being a gun paradise, Switzerland is one of only six countries in the world that requires comprehensive details of the firearm, owner, and all firearm transfers to be reported to the federal government. It also requires two levels of firearm permits: one for acquisition and one for possession. U.S. states vary in their gun-control stricture, but many don’t even require a permit to purchase a gun, and 34 U.S. states have only minimal requirements for concealed carry permits. Statistical analyses show that these “shall-issue” states have higher rates of homicide.
Strict and getting stricter
As stringent as Israel and Switzerland are, these countries are getting stricter. It took just one mass shooting 11 years ago in Switzerland to boost public support for gun control. Despite universal male service in the army reserves, only a quarter of Swiss households keep an army gun at home. Reserve members in many francophone cantons store their weapons in unit arsenals and town weapons depots rather than in their homes. German-speaking cantons still resist storing weapons in centralized depots, but they may pay the price in greater suicides with army weapons: Epidemiologic studies find that the cantons with lower household gun ownership have lower rates of firearm suicide and homicide-suicide.Israel, too, required soldiers to leave their weapons on base during weekend leave as part of an effort to curb military suicides that began in 2006. Since the regulations were introduced, there has been a 40 percent reduction in the weekend suicide rate, while the weekday rate remained flat. Soldiers planning to commit suicide on weekend leave were apparently thwarted by their lack of firearm access, but by the time they returned to the base, the impulse had passed, reinforcing the public health literature that suggests that reducing firearm access reduces suicide rates.
Leave it to the pros
More than 15 percent of U.S. households report owning a gun for self-defense purposes, compared with only about 3 percent of Swiss households, according to my analysis of ICVS data. Unlike Switzerland, Israel has well-known security concerns, but it limits security to the professionals. Universal army service entrusts every 18-21 year old soldier with a gun, but only lieutenant colonels and above can own guns after their service ends. Schools employ armed commercial security guards, but teachers haven’t carried guns since the 1970s. Since its founding, Israel has had a Civil Guard that employs civilian volunteers, in part, to fight terrorism. Such an effort would seem to be an opening for civilian gun ownership, but volunteers in Israel’s Civil Guard are only entitled to a gun permit after 5 years of service. The country’s security policies are designed to keep amateurs from carrying guns in the street – even amateurs who have served 3 years in the army.The bottom line
Gun advocates often laud the wise and mature gun culture that prevails in Israel and Switzerland, calling for the United States to follow these countries in promoting civilian firearm access for self-protection. But they’re praising a fictional version of these countries. The real Israel and Switzerland have few guns and a great many restrictions on them – and the United States would be wise to follow their example. - 5 months ago

Thank you for that professionaly written, informative piece I blogged, V. It
was so nostalgic to read German sentences again I almost wept on Christmas.
I'm glad I had a chance to live in Switzerland after I had a chance to live in
Colorado. The sparser population density,and the mountain lakes/pastures
are something both locales have in common. Though our psyche about
firearms here in the States is different. Once I become a dual national in
Switzerland, I'll apply for both acquisition & possession permits under one of
the qualifying reasons. I respect guns though I disdain them. They're messy,
chemical pellet projectors, and need to be cleaned often. The extremely loud
disturbingly violent sounds they make are damaging to an audiophile like me.
I'd have to wear effective ear protection even to practice firing a double action
rifle or pistol. My profession is security, So I have the mentality of a guard
who believes one is never overinsured in the jungle of life. Hence I intend to own
several non auto rifles, and a pistol for valuable property protection. All that
must sound strange coming from a practicing, meditating Bhuddist. But we
live in the real world. I never want to experience a day of being overpowered
in Europe as I have in New York, where the idiots like to mind my business for
me without pay or permission. Especialy the corrupt cops. Once thing I miss
is seeing the olive color of the gen 'd armes in Geneva. Blue is my favorite
color,even navy blue. But I've had so many evil experiences with crooked cops
here in New York that I'd never miss seeing darker blue ever. - 5 months ago

You are welcome, and you can declare me as a Swiss friend when you apply for the retiree's residence permit, as a tie to the country. I think, but I'm not sure, that you must live more than six months in Switzerland to retain your residency permit, and I seem to remember that the rule is no more than three months out of the country at a time - and that you need to declare your absence to the authorities.
With regard to taxes:
Taxes
Any person residing or working in Switzerland must pay tax at local, cantonal and federal levels. Since the tax structure varies from canton to canton, it is not possible to give a general estimate what various taxes may be.
There is a treaty between the United States and Switzerland to avoid double taxation on income, which means that taxes paid to Switzerland by a resident of this country must not necessarily be paid to the United States.
In general, an American employed in Switzerland can expect to pay at least as much tax to the various Swiss government levels as he would have to if he were paying tax in the United States. Specific inquiries can be directed to the local tax office or to the following federal authority:

I wasn't in good shape at the time after being an FBI Organized Crime victim
every day for 4 years and permanently disabled as a result, I got my passport
and lived in Geneva, Switzerland during the Winter of 1979. What a beautiful
place it is ! It reminded me a lot of Colorado with all it's mountain lakes where I
lived in the Summer of 1978. It never gets better than that imo. When I lived in
NYC I saw crime all the time. When I lived in Geneva I never saw anything but
normal people experiencing a life of peace. Never any crime, and no violent
crime whatsoever. I saw a gunshot victim in lower Manhartten, with a bullet hole
in his solar plexus, white as a ghost from exsanguination, a cop crouching over
him while the ambulance was on it's way. That man would most certainly have
been DOA. I experienced guns and knives pulled on me, Menacing me there.
That shouldn't be surprising in the kind of violent culture we exist in. But though
I wasn't idealy prepared to enjoy all I saw in Switzerland, I did take note of it.The Swiss I interacted with were very businesslike, but honest, practical folk.
And always peaceful & prosperous. Sound money. Anyone could get a job.
Anyone could obtain emergency welfare within hours. Clean streets. Mostly
well adjusted people content with their way of life. I was so impressed that
I determined to find out all I could about the Swiss and their way of life. They
have direct Democracy responsive to their people. They don't allow any GMOs
into their country, and they are very healthy. Lots of fresh air & Sunshine
up there above the clouds. When I'm in financial position to, I intend to obtain
a dual nationality auf der Schweitz. It's so pastoral there, when they say Peace
they mean Peace, not war without end. And as you can tell, the Swiss are their
own national guard. They're armed to the teeth. No wonder they feel so secure.

Very good comment! I truly believe that the problems we are seeing here in the U.S. has very little to do with guns, but rather, everything to do with a pervasive lack of respect -- I know, that prbly sounds funny given the battle my 'Bush-dark' label engendered, but the truth is that if our elected employees showed more respect for their constituents and themselves I don't think we would have nearly the problem we do. Granted, respect has to start with each of us, but if we all made a more concerted effort to extend the degree of respect we wished others to give us I think this nation would look quite different -- maybe THAT'S what the beginning of this new age should be about :-)!

I agree wholeheartedly. I exist in pretty much the same geographic
location here in New York as I mostly always have for over 60 years now, but it's
a very different country now than I grew up in. Leen61 calls it the big disconnect.
I sense the places I've traveled here localy which once felt familiar will soon
feel totaly alien when I return to them after experiencing living in other places
rather than simply existing here. It's as though Organized Crime made it's
hostile Government takeover w/o a peep from them except for Senator Sanders,
Dennis Kucinick, Ron Paul, Russel Feingold. And where are they now ?. Only
Senator Sanders remains in office. People seem to have gotten bored with their conscionability & respect for the honest values I grew up with during the 1950s,
1960s Einsenhaur /Kennedy administrations; voted most of the aformentioned
out of office for the pawns that filled their seats. Government is a mirror immage
of what it's constituency reflects. It's plaqued with inconscionable extremeism now.Yes, it all boils down to respect. If people don't embrace the virtues of humility,
modesty, honesty, justice, moderation, they won't respect themselves or
others. They'll revel in escapeism.even extremeism, get bored and jaded.
And proliferate the malaise I've witnessed. The hyperisolationism, selfishness
reduces them to dogs scrapping for the same bone. 50 years ago, noone
would have ever dared publicly advocate for swindling seniors out of their
Social Security/Medicare. They'd have been too afraid of being shot for
outrageous offenses like that. They would have respected their fellow citizens
who paid into these social insurance programs all their working lives, treated
themselves as they would want to be treated by progressively reforming these
programs by making them universal. To call making them into poverty programs
" reform " is more like something out of Hitler's twisted cross. We live in a
culture that's turned in on itself. And it's very sad to witness existence in a
place that's gained the world and lost it's soul. I feel sorry for the kids who're
growing up now for the bleak future they'll have to step into. I can't help but
feel their parents have failed them by their bad example and their faithlessness.
They've accepted this degeneration and been too timid to have ever spoken
out to object to it. As I told Senator Sanders in my Email response to his Bernie
Buzz...An excerpt from the Roman poet Seneca" " It's not that things are difficult
that we don't dare, but rather instead that things are difficult because we don't
dare " Timid people will always be perceived as weak & helpless, be tread upon. - 5 months ago

You who don't know shit from shinola, and understand even less, shouldn't
nitpick on the account of an Organized Crime victim. I've been the victim of
both the C.I.A. since 1968, & the F.B.I. since that same time. While the Tet
offensive was going on in Vietnam, these 2 monster agencies were silently
Stalking me behind the scenes. I was the victim of the C.I.A.'s MK Ultra field
experiments in mind control & LSD involving Felony Assault from 1968-1976.
The FBI & the CIA both sety me up for a 1st degree Felony Assault requiring
surgery to recover from. The CIA has boasted siunce the early 70s it owns
all the major TV mass media personalities, including Racketeer Dan Cummings.
Cummings gas been Bribing the Syracuse & NYC FBI to enable his Computer
Trespass & Felony Eavesdropping & broadcasting of my telephone calls, faxes,
Emails since 1980 to 2012 and ongoing. My case against WSYR TV, FBI, CIA
will be criminaly investigated by the NYS Attorney General's Organized Crime
Task Force in 2013, now that I'm about caught up with tackling the devastating
effects of all the Schemes to Defraud their Slavery of me has vexed me with.
You have no concept of what it is to be a victim of Organized Government
agent Crimes. And especialy no concept of what it's like to be the victim of
1st degree Felonies and repeated 2nd degree Gang Assaults, Attempting
both Murder 2 and finaly Murder 1 for the depraved amusement of a jaded
TV audience here in central New York. If you understand the concept of a
reality show, then immagine the horror of bing the victim of an Organized
Crime Reality Show, complete with extreme public corruption for 32 years
since 1980 because of the Bribed corruption of public officials including
police chiefs, cops, a County D.A., his partner, the U.S.Attorney, the Sheriff,
and a Federal Judge. I'm sure you can't possibly immgine the essence of
such extreme corruption. But despite your impertinence, I've survived several
Attempted Murders perpetrated on me by crack dealers employed by the FBI.

Coercion..Labor Trafficking, ( Slavery, Conspiracy to violate civil rights
under color of authority, Racketeering violating the US code), 4th degree
Money Laundering.. All these are qualifying Enterprise Corruption Felonies
violating the NYS Organized Crime Control Act.. The Syracuse FBI superviser
Phil Luny, his former bosses Lester Aman, Mike Mason and all their agents
are implicated in Racketeering which involves Perjuring their N.Y.S & U.S.
income tax returns to Conspire to defraud these Soverign Governments,
by tax evasion, of the blood money they've earned but can't report for fear
of admitting their guilt. If there's any thing the Government goes after it's
tax evasion- made- into- career- crime. The Syracuse FBI have been eye
witnessed passing out Bribes to promote their Enterprise Corruption with
TV media Racketeer Dan Cummings. The FBI & Dan Cummings have been
deliberately criminaly evading paying the correct amount of income taxes
they owe to NY & the US for 32 years now. The DOJ is so extremely corrupt
they let the FBI police themselves. I have letters from the FBI officialy covering
up their subordinate employees criminal offenses that will be published.

I'll let you know. TV is never a way to get genuine news though, at least not
here in the USA. I'm sure this website will carry that news though. They'll want
to as the FBI have likely approached them in their NYC location. Cummings
has criminaly published every one of the over 10,000 comments I've ever
made on this website as part of their 1st degree Coercion, Labor Trafficking
( Slavery ) for profit. Cummings fraudulently misrepresents me as a " public
figure ", though in almost 24,000 of his criminal broadcasts invading my right
to privacy since 1980, he's never offered me the opportunity to rebut any of
his Aggravated Harassment modus operandi. And especialy never offered me
any opportunity to rebut any of the over 15 types of Felony Libels per se he's
criminaly broadcast about me in their public Hate crime. You won't miss out.
Cummings knows he's facing a 25 year sentence in a NYS maximum security
prison after he's to be jailed without bail as a flight risk before Spring 2013. - 5 months ago

Thanks. But I'm buying my home of 11 years only so I can
own a place of my own for purely practical considerations such as storing
my belongings, and visiting it from living full time abroad to reduce what
will seem like nostalgia at first. After living in Switzerland for a minimum of
180 days a year to earn citizenship w/in 15 years, then the Netherlands for
the other 6 months, I plan to force myself to get aclimated to much different
surroundings. It will help immensely for me to travel to the Czeck republic, and
revisit my true home in Colorado meanwhile to obtain a variety of locales. Moss
doesn't grow on a rolling stone. It might be very very difficult for the average
person to get used to feeling comfortable as a resident foreign alien. But the
Swiss, being intelligent people, value control, which I respect. I do too. It's a
lot easier for me to control myself in a foreign environment based on Peace,
than it would be for me to control myself in a hostile environment where vermin
provoke me constantly to react negatively. Life's too short for their disease
here in New York based on Hate, organized criminal invasion of privacy, and
war without end. That's my idea of Hell. I've been trying to leave this country
which is only a shadow of it's former self since the mid 70s, but my family is
here, and I didn't have the resources even to survive on my own being the
victim of Government agent sponsored Organized Crime escalating constantly.I've had to watch the country I grew up in deteriorate like something dead and
rotting for 1/2 a century now. So be it, I won't try to swim against the current
and exhaust myself and drown for a lost cause. I know the worse it gets, I
wouldn't want to get out amongst any people living here in central New York
once I return to recharge myself in the Spring. So I've been preparing for that.
Eventualy I won't even want to visit Colorado; my trips to central New York
will be desensitized to where it won't seem so nostalgic because central NY
will be the foreign country then. The memories of the evil I've been Coerced
to witness will be then very emotionaly distanced. It's all a matter of Psychology.
As for feeling requited. I'll be laughing all the way to the Bank once I've sued
the United Snakes, and WSYR., I'll so outlive them I'll dance on their graves.
I've always been free. It's the misery of existing in their bad company that's not. - 5 months ago

I sincerely hope you do not take offense, but that really puzzles me. That is because I have lived abroad for probably half of my adult life. I once went to Bogota on five day's notice and stayed there a half year. I live on the local economies in Japan and Europe. My friend just left for Thailand to probably live there. My other friend lived there for a year. A married couple friend of ours lived in Taiwan, and my friend also lived in Taipei - all of these people on the local economies - for maybe 8 years. I can go on and on with this. Everywhere I went, I met Americans who were living and working on the local economy for a variety of reasons.

As the cliche goes, everyone is different, but I have seen patterns. I used to have a private practice at the Ikebukuro Counseling Center in Tokyo, dealing mostly with foreigners living in Japan. And I went through the adjustment period myself and this in Europe and Latin America.
What happens is not the big things but the little things. The references, the jokes, the things that you take for granted other people understanding and catching the nuances - Gone. The play on words, the values. It will be more than the specific things; it will consume your entire life.
If I am honest with you, I am really getting at something because of all of the years I have been doing this: It actually has been my whole life since the age of 20. I really may be off base (as the cliche goes, each person is different), but when I see someone who says he wants to live in another country but the years pass and he has "reasons" for delaying it, I suspect that in his heart, he really does not want to go. The dream itself provides an escape in his mind or a vent to anger and frustrations. If this is the case (and only the person himself can ever know that), I think it is best to try to find peace and happiness right where one is.
Again, I sincerely hope you do not take offense at my being rather blunt because I mean none. I wish you the best.

You're wasting time quoting my words; though I edit my posts,
I choose my words spontaneously so they come from my gut and aren't contrived.
I'd appreciate it if you'd refrain from quoting me. My words are unchanged for all
of us community members to refer to. Obviously, if I'd go to the trouble of buying
and maintaining a single family residential property here in the USA, I don't realy
want to leave. I've never realy wanted to leave no matter how badly things have
gotten. It's more than my sentimentality with personal artifacts that are memos
of bygone days. More than the surviving family I've still got here. More than even
my tenacity & persistence which makes me what I am. For anyone to see the
land of free and the home of the brave to morph into the land of the scream
and the home of the knave is unbearable, and frightening to anyone who has
sense enough to avoid danger. The point is it's dangerous for true patriots to
live in the USA anymore because the Federal Government operates with the
same pattern as a legitimized Organized Crime MOB would. That's the reason
for the original Free Masons to form a written Constitutional charter law-to limit
the powers of the U.S. Perhaps you don't understand that it was an orgainized
coup involving the CIA, FBI. the Bushes, the Fed which used a death squad to
Murder JFK in November 1963 to turn this country into the nightmare it's become.Nonetheless, living humans still need money to do virtualy anything either here,
or in Europe, or anywhere in the world. The CIA inflicted a permanent disablity
on me when I was 19, still in college. The FBI attacked me openly in Summer 75
after corrupting local and State police. If you could see my Social Security
earnings record, you'd understand I was made poor as an CIA/FBI Racketeering
victim though I have a high IQ, and a college degree, and would have become
an affluent practicing Psychologist by now if treated lawfuly and left alone. In
fact I was in graduate school despite my disability when their organized attack
criminaly forced me into the hospital where I was 1st degree Assaulted. No other country will allow anyone to migrate unless they have money enough to live.The Syracuse FBI & their RICO tool WSYR TV have Stalked me off of 42 jobs
in 20 years.since Spring 1992. It was all I could do to avert being homeless in
this God forsaken area rife with corruption of public officials/cops on the take,
rife with public corruption involving an official Hate crime. All I had was debts,
no money for many years until I was able to survive long enough to retire with
Social Security. Stalked from age 19-63, ongoing, made to be the victim of a
depraved Organized Crime Reality Show w/ obsessed criminal psychotics like Cummings & Luny profiting from enslaving me and forcibly making a circus
maximus spectacle out of my life. This website gave me a badge for over
10,000 posts I'm made here. By means of their Computer Trespass my
oppressors have criminaly broadcast all 10,000 comments for the amusement
of their depraved Accessories. THAT'S what the USA has morphed into. A
citizenry that doesn't know right from wrong, being solicited to participate in
an interactive Organized Crime Reality Show for Bribes. I'll miss the USA for
a time after I leave it, but w/ few exceptions I'll never miss the people living in it. - 5 months ago
