Tom Bodrovics, welcomes back Mikkel Thorup for an updated discussion on the increasing trend of moving and investing offshore due to negative developments in Western Countries like Canada and the USA. Mikkel highlights how political statements from leaders and the media could fuel the desire to leave these countries. He underscored the urgency of having a backup plan, given the potential increases in fees and taxes that could make leaving increasingly expensive. Mikkel expressed concerns over the rising costs of moving overseas and the increasing investment requirements for obtaining residency in some countries. He acknowledged the appeal of countries with attractive taxation, weather, and good economies. Mikkel advocates for individual freedom and the importance of making good decisions for ones families and investments. He lauded the efforts of the new presidents of El Salvador and Argentina in turning around their economies through libertarian policies, but remains cautious. Mikkel discusses his appreciation for various cultures, economic drivers, food, water, energy independence, and geopolitics when considering countries for expats. Italy and Ireland are amongst top countries for individuals with ancestry to apply for citizenship or residency due to their relatively straightforward processes. He shared real-life examples of clients obtaining Italian and Irish citizenship through ancestral connections. Mikkel discussed various aspects of international investment and taxation, including the process of withdrawing investments from Canada or the US without triggering capital gains taxes. How one goes about selling shares, relocating, and purchasing property overseas.

The Great Creep Backward: Policy responses to China's slowing economy

PolicyCast

Harvard Kennedy School Professor Rana Mitter and Harvard Business School Associate Professor Meg Rithmire say that after decades of tremendous growth, an economically slowing China is the new normal. With a growing debt-to-GDP ratio, an aging population, a devastating real estate bubble, and a loss of confidence among both foreign investors and domestic consumers, Chinese President Xi Jinping and the Chinese Communist Party face a daunting array of thorny problems—including ones of their own making resulting from the One Child law policy and other home-grown policies. So how should the United States and other Western countries respond? Is it a moment China's rivals can use to their advantage, or one where great power rivalry can give way to great power cooperation? And how will an economic slowdown affect China's geopolitical ambitions, and is an annexation of Taiwan now more or less likely? Rana Mitter is a historian and the S.T. Lee Chair in U.S.-Asia relations at the Kennedy School and the former director of the China Center at Oxford University. Harvard Business School Associate Professor Meg Rithmire is a political scientist who studies the comparative political economy of development in Asia and China's economic relations with the rest of the world, particularly the United States. They join host Ralph Ranalli to explore some of the underlying reasons behind for the country's current malaise, and to offer some policy ideas to help create a positive outcome with relations with China moving forward. Rana Mitter's Policy Recommendations: Liberal nations should take a realistic view of security issues involved in engagement with China, while preserving cultural interaction and scientific knowledge exchanges with the long-term benefits to both sides. The United States should focus on deepening free trade agreements and opening up new markets and in the Asia Pacific region to counter-balance China's influence.  Meg Rithmire's Policy Recommendations: U.S. and Western officials should reassure China they that they want to see its economy succeed as long as it isn't weaponizing trade and is moderating its geopolitical ambitions to reduce conflict. Continue pursuing “de-risking” policies instead of decoupling policies that would lead to a hard economic break with China. Avoid framing the situation as a choice between bringing jobs back to the United States or keeping them in China, while also addressing the fallouts of global trade and compensating those who are negatively affected.  Episode Notes: Rana Mitter is the ST Lee Chair in U.S.-Asia Relations at the Harvard Kennedy School and a member of the board of directors of the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs. A historian who focuses on the politics and history of modern China, particularly during the communist era, he was formerly director of the China Centre at Oxford University, Mitter is the author of several books, including “Forgotten Ally: China's World War II,” which was named a Book of the Year in the Financial Times and Economist. His latest book is “China's Good War: How World War II is Shaping a New Nationalism.” His recent audio documentary on contemporary Chinese politics "Meanwhile in Beijing" is available on BBC Sounds.  He won the 2020 Medlicott Medal for Service to History, awarded by the UK Historical Association. A Fellow of the British Academy, he holds a master's degree and a PhD from King's College, Cambridge (UK). Meg Rithmire is the F. Warren McFarlan Associate Professor at Harvard Business School, where she teaches in the Business, Government, and International Economy Unit. A political scientist, her my teaching and research focus on comparative politics and political economy with a geographic focus on Asia, especially China and Southeast Asia. Rithmire is also faculty affiliate at the Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies, where she convenes a seminar on the Chinese economy. Her first book, “Land Bargains and Chinese Capitalism,” examines the role of land politics, urban governments, and local property rights regimes in the Chinese economic reforms. Her most recent book, “Precarious Ties: Business and the State in Authoritarian Asia” investigates the relationship between capital and the state and globalization in Asia, comparing China, Malaysia, and Indonesia from the early 1980s to the present. The book examines how governments attempt to discipline business and how businesses adapt to different methods of state control. She holds a master's degree in political science from Emory University and a master's and a Ph.D. in government from Harvard University. Ralph Ranalli of the HKS Office of Communications and Public Affairs is the host, producer, and editor of HKS PolicyCast.

PREVIEW OF TODAY'S PARROT TALK. FOR THE FULL EPISODE SUBSCRIBE ON ITUNES. Since Hamas sucker punched Israel, Americans have not given much thought about the war in Ukraine. Sure there is the occasional out cry from Conservatives when more financial aid is sent, but that is mostly to round out the news cycle.  Mick Wallace, a member of the EU Parliament, said Ukraine should have ignored the advice of western leaders like Biden and Boris Johnson. He said Zelenskyy should have accepted the Russian deal because Western Countries have failed to cripple the Russian economy, and their aid has failed to stop the Russian advance.  Mike Parrott has not forgotten about the conflict, and he takes a brief look at how things are going in the country where democracy died.  Mike also better defines his stance on the new Argentina President and he exposes Media Matters and their slanderous report on Elon Musk.  Is it too late for Zelenskyy to follow Wallace's advice and what will Elon do about Media Matters?

THE THESIS: The United States is radically influenced by, if not controlled by, globalists; people who want global control over all facts of life. This is not the least bit hidden, nor is it hard to understand if you will stand in truth. The patterns are far too clear, the policies and positions far too uniform, the techniques of terrifying people to control them universal, breathless and insane charges of disinformation being made from liars is absolute. THE SCRIPTURE & SCRIPTURAL RESOURCES: Even the most brilliant, well-educated people can be made blind to what is right in front of themThe spiritual blindness of the Pharisees and how we can avoid it (a good article with an annoying cartoon at the top, page down for the content). Was the accusation of Jesus true?Jesus, the Great Physician, again and again revealed his diagnosis of the Pharisees' spiritual disability:“Though seeing, they do not see; though hearing, they do not hear or understand. In them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah: ‘You will be ever hearing but never understanding; you will be ever seeing but never perceiving.'” – Matthew 13:13-14 (parallels: Mark 4:12; Luke 8:10)Leave them; they are blind guides. If the blind lead the blind, both will fall into a pit. – Matthew 15:14For judgment I have come into this world, so that the blind will see and those who see will become blind…. If you were blind, you would not be guilty of sin; but not that you claim you can see, your guilt remains. – John 9:39, 41Woe to you, blind guides! … You blind fools! … You blind men! … You blind guides! – Matthew 23:16, 17, 19, 24You are going to have the light just a little while longer. Walk while you have the light, before darkness overtakes you. Whoever walks in the dark does not know where they are going. Believe in the light while you have the light, so that you may become children of light. – John 12:35-36THE NEWS & COMMENT:Corruption like this is global. The same people who demand we turn down our thermostats and carpool are self-dealing and raiding our treasuries. Certainly, this is part of our sin condition. But, there are no punishments and people have been programmed to simply accept that the bosses get to act this way. [AUDIO] - The video that started it all. In 2012, Speaker Pelosi was asked if she thought there was a conflict of interest in her Husband getting a favorable stock deal in the Visa IPO. This was her response:All over The West, countries have somehow forgotten how to secure their borders. It just slipped their collective minds. Or, it is part of a pattern to radically redistribute people who, sadly and brutally, have been conditioned to view government as parent and provider. [AUDIO] - Joe Biden visits Arizona & accidentally confirms what we all knew: he does not care one bit about the Border Crisis.Reporter: “Why would you visit our state and not visit the border?”Sleepy Joe: “There are more important things going on”[AUDIO] - Protests spreading throughout Ireland tonight over illegal immigrants being bussed into hotels and other accommodation under the cover of darkness as the Irish are left to rot. This is one lady rallying the residents of Tallaght tonight.[AUDIO] - Tucker Carlson: "This is real. This is happening. No one is stopping it. Republicans are colluding to allow it to continue."Also a unanimous pattern in the West: borders don't matter. UNLESS it's Ukraine's border. [AUDIO] - Secretary of State Blinken implies that U.S. support of Ukraine will continue even if public support wanes, because the U.S. does foreign policy based on national interest, not "policy by polls" @DailyCallerThis is universal with the elites: clear, unambiguous facts are “CoNspIraCCy ThEorieZ!” Every Western nation is using the technique and it is 100% purposeful. They want us confused and uncertain so they can swoop in from their jets to rescue us. Stand in God's Truth. This pattern is also stamped all over the West--but, not in China, even though the CCP is pushing sexualization of kids in the West. Yoel was effectively Twitter's chief censor. His PhD thesis suggested that the same-sex hook-up app, Grindr, should allow kids. That is, apparently, Yoel's worldview. Increasingly, it is the worldview of The Party bosses. Incidentally, people are now accusing us of being “dangerous” and “inciting to violence” for merely publicizing what Yoel himself published and promoted. In nearly every Western Country, medical technocrats have been allowed to seize unthinkable powers. The parents of “Baby W” simply wanted blood not tainted by the mRNA injections for their baby. The hospitals had it available, but they decided to kidnap the child instead of respecting the wishes of the parents. [AUDIO] - Distressing footage of Baby W being taken away last night for pre-op checks in the presence of 4 officers enforcing the High Court Order after brick walls were thrown up by his parents. Protesters have since vilified police accusing them of taking part in a ‘violent kidnapping'.Pushing gender confusion and gender rebellion is now a religion in “health” care. It is universal to The West . . . but, not in China even though the CCP pushes it on countries like ours. [AUDIO] - This is a doctor. She wants everyone in the medical industry to focus on pronouns. These are our healthcare professionals.It is now becoming universal that people who, in my opinion, are quite clearly mentally ill are being allowed to run important aspects of government.Until he was fired on Tuesday, for the two felony charges he faces for allegedly stealing women's expensive bags, this man had been allowed to oversee the handling of America's nuclear waste. Since he tries (quite unsuccessfully) to steal women's identities, that is not a shock. Yes, it is a real article from October, 2015We can all see the global push to drive up the cost of beef by limiting the supply. Here, we see the same type of lies about beef and cheese that Gates-funded entities continue to make about the mRNA. There is no world in which CocoPuffs are healthier than beef. But, Bill Gates paid “scientists” to pretend otherwise. Gates-funded study claims candy is healthier than beefThe National Cattlemen's Beef Association is condemning as flawed the Food Compass study funded in part by alternative meat promoter Bill Gates.The Food Compass nutrient profiling system scores foods from best to worst on a scale of 0 to 100, ranking products like peanut M&Ms, Coco Puffs and potato chips as more healthful than beef.“The idea that M&Ms, potato chips and cereal are somehow healthier than natural beef ignores scientific evidence and frankly doesn't measure up to logic,” said Colin Woodall, NCBA CEO.“These snack foods are high in sugar, carbohydrates and fats, while beef is a nutrient-rich food that provides essential protein, iron, zinc and numerous B vitamins,” he said“Scientists” pretend junk food is healthy while “mayors” pretend letting people shoot-up heroin and fentanyl helps society[AUDIO] - South Philly mom tears into officials for allowing a drug injection site in their neighborhood without informing residentsOnly some protests are allowed, others will be crushed.
