Hello from sunny Santo Domingo,

TDV Manager, Michael Bach and I have been on a whirlwind tour from Vancouver to LA and are now in the Dominican Republic (DR) checking on the progress of many Dollar Vigilante clients' residency and passport applications (see more about our DR passport services here) .

I was interested to get Michael's take on our trip. While he hails from Denmark he has lived in Acapulco for more than a decade without once leaving its sunny shores. The results are in: He liked Vancouver, he loves Santo Domingo and he absolutely hated LA.

The differences between LA and Santo Domingo were stark.

Hello all,

I am on a flight from LA to the Dominican Republic at the moment but thought you might find this video of interest.  It was an interview I did at the Vancouver Resource Investment Conference.  Here is how Cambridge House described the interview:

In an entertaining conversation with anchor Bridgitte Anderson, self-described anarchist Jeff Berwick bemoans on the "debt fantasyland" the Western World is mired in, reveals the foundations of his conversion to a libertarian and anarchist worldview and, in his most controversial statement, declares, "...everything Obama does is unconstitutional!"

Government is imaginary, as are the borders they claim denote the area where they profess to have a monopoly on violence.

Here at The Dollar Vigilante (TDV), we’ve got a saying: it’s all been done before. All nation states start out small and the better of the bunch are born in liberty and dynamism, freedom of thought, freedom of trade and a willingness to take chances. And they all follow a similar path on the way down as the state grows ever more all encompassing  – they come to believe their own propaganda, that they can do no wrong and that they will reign forever.  Corrupt and decadent, they lose the essential qualities that allowed them to thrive.
