Buy the books:- "Mega Returns", David Skarica: https://amzn.to/4hiUIv5- "Financial Sovereignty for Canadians" Fergus Hodgson: https://econamericas.com/financial-sovereignty-canadians/David Skarica, a Canadian financial advisor based in the Bahamas, shares insights from his latest book, Mega Returns: Profit from Maximum Pessimism (available from today). According to Skarica, assets surrounded by temporary negative sentiment often present good long-term opportunities. For instance, he purchased his house in 2011, “when no one wanted to buy a house after the housing bubble,” securing it at a low price. Skarica's book covers many asset classes and also emphasizes the importance of investing in gold as a reliable store of value, especially in these uncertain times. He also explains how to target corporate bonds with put options as effective tools for managing financial risk.When it comes to crypto, Skarica compares bitcoin to gold in terms of its function as a hedge—particularly in struggling economies. However, he cautions that bitcoin has in recent times mirrored the Nasdaq's performance. That trend could undermine its role as a safe haven. Regarding altcoins, he considers them high risk and largely unproductive as investment vehicles.

He is the third of six children in a Catholic family, and he is a Canadian and Irish citizen through his mother and grandparents. He rode a horse to elementary school, and until retirement his father milked a cow by hand for the family. Hodgson's younger brother and sister-in-law now run the farm: Te Akatea Station. As an escape from boarding school, he embraced sports, especially cycling, rowing, rugby, and running—and he has the scars to prove it. After representing New Zealand in the single scull at the under-21 level, he came to the United States in 2003 on a rowing scholarship with Boston University. He has completed marathons in Canada, Ecuador, Poland, and the United States. His four years based in Boston opened his eyes to classical liberalism and gave him an affection for the United States. In particular, he learned the importance of free speech, and he found a treasure of information in the Foundation for Economic Education and the Mises Institute. In his final semester, he completed a directed study on the economic origins of marital decline, and he achieved his first academic publication with the Boston University Brownstone Journal. After completing his BA in economics, he returned to New Zealand and completed a second major in political science at the University of Waikato. While there, he became a student columnist for Nexus Magazine and found unexpected success. The top provincial paper, the Waikato Times, published him, and these early columns opened the door to work with think tanks in Canada and the United States. His first article stateside made the Washington Times, and his second achieved national syndication. He cut his teeth as a reporter and editor in Louisiana with the Pelican Institute, before becoming the director of fiscal policy studies for the John Locke Foundation in North Carolina. Alongside these roles, he wrote for countless outlets—including the American Conservative, the Daily Caller, Econ Journal Watch, Fox News, the Fraser Institute, the Future of Freedom Foundation, and WND.com—and he started his own podcast on liberty around the world. This later evolved into the Gold Newsletter Podcast. He was the founding editor in chief of the PanAm Post and is the founder and director of Econ Americas, a consultancy devoted to international finance, geopolitical risk, and jurisdictional arbitrage.

The negative adjectives that apply to this film are many. However, the tragedy is that his feeble attempt at comedy derails what could have been a historic examination and humiliation of race hustlers. Fergus Hodgson offers a thorough review of Walsh's latest film, “Am I Racist?,” which attempts to address DEI issues through a mockumentary lens. Hodgson critiques the film's lack of focus and comedic missteps, highlighting what could have been a powerful message.

Welcome to another episode of "Dialogue over Division." Today, we are joined by Fergus Hodgson, an independent economic consultant with an impressive background. Fergus is the former editor-in-chief of the PanAm Post and has served as the director of fiscal policy studies at the John Locke Foundation in North Carolina. He holds a BA in economics and a graduate diploma in political science. In this episode, we delve into the critical importance of understanding government actions as self-interested individuals and how that impacts us both individually and as a nation. We examine how Ottawa-centric media has contributed to the distorted nature of information in the country. Throughout, Fergus emphasizes the significance of promoting personal sovereignty and the crucial role of civic engagement. We also explore the factors that led to Canada's current state, including the events leading up to the 2022 trucker convoy—a pivotal moment when many Canadians reached their limits. Many viewed the COVID-19 mandates as the last straw amid rising living costs, indebtedness, taxes, and vanishing opportunities and civil liberties, uniting in the common cause against government overreach. Recently, Fergus co-authored the book "Financial Sovereignty for Canadians," available on Amazon. This book, co-authored with Paz Gómez, assists those looking to take direct action and circumvent illiberalism. It details Canada's economic trajectory, explains how to protect your independence, and offers escapes from the status quo. Join us for an enlightening conversation that sheds light on the economic and political dynamics shaping Canada today. This podcast series is your guide to becoming a more informed and engaged citizen. It's a call to action for you to take an active role in maintaining the vitality of our democracy. Connect with Eva Chipiuk: Website: www.chipiuk.ca X/Rumble/YouTube: @echipiuk Eva Chipiuk is not your typical lawyer. She holds a Bachelor Degree in Science, a Law Degree and a Masters of Law in Alternative Dispute Resolution. Eva has made a career representing David in the fight against Goliath. She has represented clients against large energy companies and the government. Her unique education and work experience has empowered her to represent clients and protect their rights in a unique and a more holistic way. Eva believes that in order for Canadians to be familiar with their legal rights and political systems, they must become active members in the democratic process. On this podcast, “Dialogue Over Division”, the goal is to empower Canadians to learn and engage in meaningful conversations about democracy and how we can come together as a nation to make a difference. Together we can work towards a brighter and more united Canada.

Fergus Hodgson—managing editor of the Impunity Observer—hosted the first live roundtable discussion about the riots in Ecuador. Paz Gómez and Mauro Echeverría—analysts on the ground—explained the riots' consequences for the country. Ecuador's risk premium doubled during the riots, making the Andean country less attractive to local and foreign investors. In addition, President Guillermo Lasso faces a complex scenario for his three remaining years in office, including a lack of support in Congress and susceptibility to the pressure from leftist irregular groups such as urban guerrillas.

Listen in to the hear which country in Central America Fergus likes the best…and which is the ugliest…You might be surprised! Best tips and tricks to fit into a country as an expat and not feel like an outsider. Why learning a new language is so important when you move to a new country, and how best to accomplish this in the shortest period of time. Fergus recounts the dystopian reality of living and working in Venezuela at the peak of the conflict…crazy times. I chat with Fergus about what a complete totalitarian, psychopathic government can do to its beautiful people and a nation. Learn about a country where if you are a foreigner, earning a foreign income, you can have a really great life, with amazing culture and breathtaking landscapes. If you're a meat-eater like me, we talk about the very best country to get your beef, they are #1 in my book. We talk openly about Canada and why the necessity for using cryptocurrency for financial sovereignty and privacy. This will shock you, especially if you are Canadian. Have you become a bit fat and happy or become lulled into a false sense of security, those days are over my friends. Listen as we discuss what the future could look like if things don't change right now. I talk with Fergus about the insights and directions of Argentina. Will they keep going in the direction of socialism and Marxism? Very interesting for sure. And the last country we discuss is Peru…the question is, are they going down that Marxist route?

There's no other way to put it – the Liberal government's new “hate speech” bill is an attack on free speech. The bill restores the previously-repealed section 13 of the Canadian Human Rights Act, which allows the Canadian Human Rights Commission to target those whose online speech “is likely to foment detestation or vilification.” True North's Andrew Lawton says free speech must be the hill to die on, and breaks down the legal implications with Canadian Constitution Foundation litigation director Christine Van Geyn. Also, Epoch Times columnist Fergus Hodgson joins the show to talk about the economic danger of Canada's “net zero” climate target. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Fintech revolution is upon us. In a recent article for the Epoch Times (How the Fintech Revolution Could Liberate Us, March 22, 2019), Fergus Hodgson argues that decentralized government-service-providers are primed to outcompete clunky 20th-century states in the 21st century and beyond. He says that Bitcoin and the sharing economy are only the beginning of the ascent of digital governance. This is a bold claim, and it's not likely to be welcomed by the guardians of the established order. However, if history is our guide, a major change in governance cannot be stopped once structural and technological changes make it a necessity.Once known as “the Stateless Man”, Fergus draws on his own experience as a digital nomad to make the case that all jurisdictions must think ahead to the inevitable changes coming. He quotes fellow futurist-libertarian Max Borders, “Cryptocurrency and income tax cannot coexist,” and draws out the dire implications for raising revenue in the increasingly burdened welfare states of the western world. This is not to say that governments will not be able to fund any activity, but that they will need to think carefully – both about how they tax their citizens and, more importantly, the value they provide in return.Does the U.S. run the risk of becoming a Venezuela if we do not adapt to the changing tides of technology?I'm delighted to welcome Fergus back to the show of ideas this Sunday (12/8, 8-9am PACIFIC) to discuss his recent articles on everything from Airbnb and Ethereum, to competitive currencies, and the democratization of finance through crowdfunding.We explore the analogy between governments as service providers and citizens as customers, and see what's happening countries that are failing their “customers.” Finally, we will look at what makes countries like Liechtenstein and Switzerland potential models for “The State in the Third Millennium” (to borrow the title of a book by Prince Hans-Adams II – reigning monarch of Liechtenstein).When the revolution arrives, you won't want to be left behind.

Months later, Nicolás Maduro has managed to cling to power throughout the blackouts and riots that have darkened a country with so much natural wealth and potential for prosperity.Clif, a poet, film director, and former Bolivarian revolutionary, lost many of his former “comrades” when he conclusively rejected socialist ideology once it became impossible for him to ignore its failure in Venezuela. His memoir, Home from the Dark Side of Utopia: A Journey through American Revolutions, documents this conversion and was the subject of Bob’s discussion with him back in January. However, that conversation left little time to dig into the current situation in Venezuela, which is deteriorating more and more each day.Since January, Clif published a lengthy mea culpa of sorts in Quillette, documenting how he “had drifted — at first gradually, but then definitively — into the camp of my former ‘enemies,’ persuaded by their narrative and by the evidence before my own eyes.”The article was publicized by Jordan Peterson and others whose praise further eroded whatever remaining sympathies the hard-left may have had for Clif. Despite the adulation from conservatives and libertarians, Clif remains an independent thinker who won’t be pigeonholed into any ideological camp.Neither left nor right, Clif’s worldview is rooted in more nuanced theological and philosophical ideas. He subscribes to Thomas Sowell’s view, laid out in The Vision of the Anointed, which pits the unconstrained, or utopian worldview against the constrained, or tragic worldview. The latter assumes that people behave in their self interest, and that governments should not be too ambitious in trying to change human nature.Clif returns to the show this Sunday with producer and guest host Charlie Deist to pick up where he left off, discussing the similarities between Bolivarian socialism and other versions of “Apocalyptic Utopian Messianic Millenarianism (AUMM)” seen throughout history.When the tragedy in Venezuela is viewed through the lens of mankind’s religious yearnings, Hugo Chavez emerges as a kind of false messiah — one anointed by himself and his followers to usher in heaven on Earth (paging Dr. Muravchik). When the ailing Chavez failed to bring about the promised socialist utopia, he hand-picked Nicolas Maduro as his replacement in an alternative form of apostolic succession. The remaining true believers are scrambling to resuscitate the failing revolution, accusing the opposition leader John Guiado of being a puppet of U.S. imperialists, and calling the popular protests an illegimate coup.Charlie and Clif discuss the “synoptic delusion” of socialist dictators, which leads them to believe they can steer markets and society through centralized control.Links:[AMAZON] Home from the Dark Side of Utopia: A Journey through American Revolutions by Clifton RossThe Bolivarian God That Failed — Quillette by Clif RossIn the Shadow of the Revolution [FILM] directed by Clif RossCliftonRoss.comCaracasChronicles.comRelated Shows:Socialism Reincarnated , Joshua Muravchik, April 2019Utopia Unmasked, Clif Ross, January 2019Venezuela on the Brink with Fergus Hodgson, April 19, 2017Yeonmi Park — North Korean Defector: “Juche” Die, Markets Rise, June 23, 2014Ian Vasquez on the Prospects for a Free Cuba, April 03, 2016Russia Today (Yesterday & Tomorrow), April 09, 2017
Just days ago, the European Union joined the U.S. and dozens of other countries in recognizing Juan Guiadó as the new interim President of Venezuela. While the ousting of Hugo Chavez's strongman successor Nicolas Maduro is not a done deal, those who follow Venezuelan politics closely predict the imminent demise of the brutal socialist regime. Will this be the tipping point for one of the most repressive governments in the Western hemisphere? We may know soon.The horrors of life in Venezuela are well-documented, and have been presented on this show in the past by guests like Fergus Hodgson (aka “the Stateless Man”), who shared his first-hand experience of South American dysfunction. This Sunday, we will hear from someone who has been positioned even closer to the center of Venezuelan politics, first as a supporter, then as an arch-critic.Clifton Ross is a Berkeley-based writer, film journalist and poet who describes his conversion from Bolivarian co-revolutionary to skeptic and eventual enemy of socialism in his memoir, Home from the Dark Side of Utopia. He had been reporting on Latin American revolutionary and social movements since 1982, when he produced the 2016 documentary titled “In the Shadow of the Revolution.”This project earned him the disdain of his former comrades—including many arm-chair revolutionaries from the U.S., who never witnessed the devastation of the Chavista regime firsthand. For decades, he was a true believer in the Bolivarian project, and at one time was even put up in the Caracas Hilton by the government during the Second World Poetry Festival of Venezuela. Despite completely rejecting socialism now, Ross remains in solidarity with many of the social movements that have taken root in opposition to Chavez/Maduro.The latest opposition coalition includes elements from center-right to left. Guiadó, the rightly elected president of the National Assembly (akin to America's Congress) has gained support of the international community by leading the charge to restore fair elections, representative democracy, and all of the civic institutions that make dictators shudder. Unlike in the past, when such regime change was spearheaded by U.S. intelligence agencies, this time it seems like a natural result of Maduro's unpopularity combined with the incompetence of his patrons in the military, state-owned industry, and media. (Contrary to what you may have heard, the opposition is succeeding in spite of not because ofsupport from President Trump's support.)A Conversion of SortsRoss's views shifted most dramatically in 2013, after seeing how enforcing socialism in Venezuela required the use of totalitarian tactics. In a recent interview, he was quoted saying:“I no longer think socialism has anything of value to offer the world, even if I think it was a useful movement in the twentieth century to raise important issues of solidarity, social justice, class conflict and so on. But the very fact that it required a totalitarian state to destroy a market economy and centralize all power so as to guarantee the establishment and continuation of its utopian project entailed the elimination of real solidarity and real social justice. How can you have solidarity when you're afraid the worker standing next to you might be undercover police who could arrest you for saying the wrong thing?”His memoir makes the same point, nothing that all political ideologies are rooted in a mythological idea of the Revolution (capital R) along with some messianic ideal of perfection. In socialism this is embodied by the Workers. In the neoliberal ideology it is the Self-Regulating Market. True revolutions, he says, are a restoration or conservation of original principles—not the creation of Utopia. Many of Ross's ideas will be familiar to classical liberals, but he also embraces less talked about “first principles,” such as those promoted by the indigenous social movements of South America. Native peoples are especially concerned with the extractive practices of Venezuela's oil industry, which could end up endangering the planet in the name of loftier ideals of “progress” and “the people.” Filling the void left by the old Leninist vanguard in Venezuela will require a democratic patchwork of smaller social movements. These can only be sustained, Ross argues, by liberal democracy with checks and balances on power.Clif joined Bob for the full hour to explain how he came to see the truth about himself and the “Revolution,” in all its complex shades of light. They dissect Clif's journey from his conservative Christian upbringing on Air Force Bases, through liberation theology in Berkeley and the Zapatistas in Mexico, to his career as a skeptical independent writer/filmmaker. Lastly, they discuss what fundamentalist religions share in common with radical socialism, and how in the long run left-wing and right authoritarianism converge on a vision of Apocalyptic Utopian Messianic Millenarianism (AUMM).

It's rarely good news when Latin American politics makes headlines. For those who haven't been monitoring the situation in Venezuela, the "chavista" revolution that began in the 90's has blossomed into a full-blown meltdown. Think 20th-century socialism was bad? Wait until you hear about Hugo-Chavez-inspired “21st-century socialism,” complete with hyperinflation, widespread famine, and narco-trafficking leaders bent on leading the country further into ruin. Chavez may be gone, but his legacy of misery lives on. Fergus Hodgson, founder of Antigua International, is a prolific writer and global citizen who has been observing Venezuelan politics for years, and has spent time in numerous Latin American countries. Fergus believes we must examine the underlying ideals of revolution in Latin America to understand why the situation is so desperate. Many Venezuelans are seeing through Nicolas Maduro's failed policies, but the United Socialist Party of Venezuela is clinging to the dictatorship and blocking democratic paths to reform. With protests growing in size and intensity, history is being written. The coming days could determine Latin America's course for years to come.
