    Yes, because these people are not bound by nations. They are part of a global community that very much wants to keep itself free from global government for, more or less, the same reason bandits operate away from cities.

    Is it really a growing trend… that USA’s billionaires are seeking a plan B? I think instead a billionaire paid the author to say so (through a proxy, of course); seems more likely to me.

    Billionaires often have second citizenship in other countries, it’s like Billionaire 101.

    (I can’t read the article though so if it proves me wrong do let me know)

      As someone who is in the process of going through their second full immigration process (first was US), it drives me absolutely nuts that they can just buy citizenship elsewhere. Meanwhile us plebes have to be world class champions to even get entered in the lottery for permanent residency elsewhere.

    Wasn’t Argentina also going to originally be invaded by the Pziochopaths before they settled in Palestine?

    The billionaire equivalent of a 14-year-old shouting “I’m running away!” at their parents. He’ll be back, and until then, he won’t be missed.

    Argentinians! Please take careful note of the location, and any underground facilities’ air intake locations. When needed we may ask you go fill them with concrete.

    Theory out there: he’s going there to try stuff over there first to perfect it and bring it back. Don’t celebrate just yet.

    They know the US is about to have an economic collapse, possible policitical coup or uprising, and that billionaires’ and their wealth are the target of the opposition party.

    Wealth tax is terrifying, almost as much as jail or dying. Way cheaper to hire a huge PMC tier security team and ride it out in a foreign country that will be less affected by the US.

      The upcoming election doesn’t bode well for the Epstein elite so maybe he is jumping ship early.
