Last Chance to Join Us in Cafayate, Argentina

If you are still on the fence about coming down to Argentina this March, take note.  This is the last time we are going to mention the upcoming Harvest Event at Doug's Gultch in Argentina.

I've now booked my flights.  Here is a tip for flights, there is an Airline called Aerosur that flies direct from places like Miami to Santa Cruz, Bolivia... and then they have a direct from Santa Cruz to Salta... and from there it is about a 3 hour drive to Cafayate.  Other options include flying COPA to Panama and then COPA has a direct from Panama to Santa Cruz as well.  That is the route I've chosen this time around, starting in Acapulco, then Mexico City.  It's a long one, but well worth it.  Another tip is that Aerosur doesn't have online booking but there is a website that does called One Travel.

My wife and I arrive on the 9th of March and leave on the 23rd.  There are actually three separate events this time around.  The first group is from March 6-11 and the second group is from March 12-17.  As you see I'll miss the first few days of the first group as I'll be at PDAC in Toronto.

You are welcome to register for both groups too if you'd like... that way you can meet more of the interesting people who gravitate to these events.

Then there is an Owner's only event from March 18-22.  It's a jam packed affair.  Many of the owners will be around for some of the earlier events too, I am sure.  It should be, as usual, an amazing affair.

Many of the writers and contributors here at TDV will be there including myself, Pete Kofod, Gary Kinghorn and the research analyst who wrote the research report, BulletProof Shares, Tekoa Da Silva.  As well as many people from Casey Research including Doug Casey, just to name a few of the interesting people with which you may find yourself sitting in a vineyard like the one above, having lunch and some fine Malbec wine.

Come on down and see why so many of us have gravitated to this amazing region in Northern Argentina to sit out The End Of The Monetary System As We Know It (tEOTMSAWKI).

Time is running out, so email tdv@lec.com.ar ASAP if you'd like to make arrangements to come down.  And if you'd like more info, check out our page here: http://www.dollarvigilante.com/galtsgulchmarch2012.

Already many dollar vigilantes have registered so I'm looking forward to meeting many of you down there.

I hope you guys have a great time down there! I will not be able to make it, although I would love to find myself a way down before the collapse, we shall see.

I'm still amazed that anyone who reads history would invest a single cent in Argentina - a country with a history of asset seizures, pension seizures, land seizures, corrupt governments, and collapsing currencies, when a superior neighbor is just over the Andes. I would choose Chile over Argentina, any day of the week, even when it's raining. I am not Chilean, but one day, I will be.

CHILE:
Triple-A credit rating
Budget surplus - even after the earthquakes
One of the most transparent governments (ranks far higher than the USA,
Greater economic freedoms than the USA
Has already experienced radical marxism and radical fascism, so they naturally tend to stay in the center
Free trade zone
Land ownership is sacrosanct
Stable banks
Privatized social security system
Educated populace
Large middle class
Low population-to-square-mile ratio
Immensely fertile soil
Short flight to Micronesia

Inspired by your comment, I looked up Chile:

"Chile

Land property taxes, called "territorial tax" or "contributions", are paid annually in four payments during the year. The rate varies between 1 to 2% of the fiscal value, depending on the use of the property (agricultural, habitation, commercial). The fiscal value is determined for each property by the Internal Tax Service, based on the land area and built area, the value of the construction materials, age, use and distance to commercial areas. The fiscal value is usually much lower than the market value. Non-business properties valued below a certain fiscal value are exempt (currently about US$33K). Properties used for business face no exemption.[2] The collected taxes go to the municipality where the property is located.[3] All municipalities contribute a share of the received income to a "common municipal fund", which is then redistributed back to all municipalities according to its needs (poverty rate, etc.)"

I don't see anything to the better. I am not saying that Argentina is better, just that Chile is not better.
Read that last sentence. It means communism is alive and well in Chile. Why should I pay to some central fund only to see my funds sent to "poor" municipalities? Outright commies.

And the property tax itself? Why should I pay it? I have yet to see any justification to the property tax, be it "AD VALOREM" (in legalise brainwashese speech) or anything else. How is it that a municipality deserves any tax at all, for what?

Taxation is a first indication of slavery.

Again, not putting down Chile specifically, just pointing out that it is no better than any other slave camp.

I'd love to attend a few of these off-shore conferences or even move assets off-shore and establish dual citizenship, but I refuse to fly the airlines. My flee or fight instinct is just too strong in the vicinity of the TSA gate rapists and flight is no longer an option. One becomes a "person of interest," if they desire to simply leave the vicinity of these criminals, so I must avoid the situation entirely.

As a former airline pilot, if I can't walk, drive, swim, or fly myself there in a private plane, I don't go! Sadly, it won't be long before all forms of travel will involve assaults by the jackboots!
