Well, it's tax season. Millions of sheeple running to H&R Block to give their money to the government on time. It may be the saddest of the seasons.
It is, however, Easter/Passover (4/20 even?), and our best to you and yours from all of us here at TDV.

GUNS FOR RENT AT CRISIS CONFERENCE?
An actual conference in Mexico for freedom? Sounds good so far. However, due to airline restrictions on firearms (if they exist), it might be a good idea for guns and ammo to be rented out for the duration of the conference to people there. I think it would send a message to attendees that gun rights belong in more places than the USA.
Maybe it would be just a concealed carry sort of thing, or open carry like seen in PorcFest, or both.

Thanks for writing in! We are actually organizing the event now, and are planning on having an excursion to the local gun club during the "Anarchapulco" to make exactly that point – that people are responsible enough to own guns! Unless they're in a state-issued uniform, that is…(did you hear that one about the cop that tried to shoot a dog but shot himself instead?) This is something we strongly believe in and although Mexico typically is not associated with guns (unless it is the US media babbling on about narco-violence, which has waned), there are guns here and lots of people (law-abiding) who own guns ("illegally"). In fact, we are writing about in our Newsletter coming up about one particular family that is armed to the teeth in Mexico, and they make sure the government knows that. In fact, they've even shot at Mexican military and gotten away with it. Check out the newsletter for more on that. You will be surprised at who this family is.
FACTA
Ok until now I thought this FACTA would not apply to us and it still may not, but I need clarification…in layman's terms please.
My wife is American but has been living and working in Canada since '93. Would she be a target for the IRS (no other income anywhere else)?

We write about this a lot. YES! Absolutely your wife will be a target of the US government's IRS. And what's more? So will you! If your wife has a new passport, have her open it up and read page 28. It states right there that American citizens own taxes on their worldwide income! As one of the only countries in the world which does this, the United States has turned into one of the most tyrannical places on that planet not to live, but to have been born in. That's right…the poor accidental Americans. If you have children, even if they're born in Canada, because they have an American parent, they will owe taxes to the US government their whole life long. It is more complicated than this, that's why we have organized The Dollar Vigilante Wealth Management Crisis Conference. This conference will outline all the ways in which FATCA will affect you. What's more, we will begin individuals and families on actionable plans to avoid The End Of The Monetary System As We Know It (TEOTMSAWKI), which is sure to involve a lot of US taxation.
ESCAPING CANADASTAN
I am a recovering conservative of modest means and cannot see how to get out of Canadastan. With an extended family anchoring me emotionally (fleeing would be abandonment?) I cannot see a route out. I do have marketable skills, and I am able to add value. I am at loss as to how to proceed but at least I am now awake.

Hello Colin, thank you for writing in! Each person is different. Have you started trying to talk to your family about it, as well as the reasons why it might be a good idea to leave Canadastan? If not, this is a perfect place to start. And the time is now. Once you've started this dialogue, it might be a good idea to take a vacation or two somewhere. Try out Mexico. We just did a piece on Yucatan in our TDV Newsletter, and it seems people truly do love it down there. It is a very safe place where you can keep your car unlocked. This is unheard of in the US and Canada. Anyway, Mexico can be a reasonably priced vacation and might expand the horizons of your family's minds. If taking a vacation is too far out of the question, then looking into our TDV Homegrown might be a nice starting point. This will give you tools for surviving life in Canadastan during TEOTMSAWKI. While you're there, be sure you're reminding your family constantly about the opportunities abroad.
Also, you say it is an "extended" family. So if you don't have kids of your own or a partner who is keeping you in the Great White North, then there is always Skype. Makes family feel like they are right next door!
GYGOOD?
Since the main point of the article is to get your gold out of the US, I fail to understand why the author recommends two US storage facilities, specifically:
– Miles Franklin added vaulting in US
– Diamond State Depository with vaulting in Delaware, USA
Additionally, I'm not completely sold on the idea that Canada and the Aussie's would provide any safety to US Citizens since they are pretty much subservient to the "law enforcement" proclivities of the US government.

Our special report, Getting Your Gold Out Of Dodge, is a 127 page report on how you can store your gold throughout the world, including the United States, Australia and Canada. But don't get me wrong, the bulk of this report covers international options, far removed from the western monetary system, which can be a confusing and overwhelming thing for people to sort through. As someone who has gold scattered throughout the world, I know this process very well. That's why we put together the report, written by Vin Maru.
It is absolutely, 100% paramount that, if you own gold, you own it internationally. Owning gold in the US and Canada might turn out to simply become a danger as opposed to a protection. Jim Rogers just echoed this sentiment, years after we compiled Getting Your Gold Out Of Dodge. Still, we set out to write a complete report on gold storage. We know we've done that.
