186: Rising Against the Machine: Hrvoje Morić’s Battle with Technocracy
Hrvoje Morić is the host and producer of The Geopolitics & Empire Podcast and hails from the United States. He was bred between the two worlds of America and his ethnic homeland of Yugoslavia/Croatia, moving back and forth between the two countries. He is also a naturalized Mexican, fluent in English, Croato-Serbian and Spanish, and truly a proud citizen of all three nations!
My conversation today with Hrvoje was not the usual happy-go-lucky fun podcast. Today, we talked in-depth about some real-life issues that are important for everyone to listen to and take notes Please don’t miss this really important episode.
TODAY'S CONVERSATION WITH HRVOJE,
Hrvoje talks about why he believes Covid 1984 began, and what the reasons are… this is truly insightful.
The top 5 really important points to ensure your freedom in the coming years. I don’t think people truly understand the severity of what has gone down the past two years…
We talk freely about which countries over the past two years have handled Covid 1984 and the mask mandates best and worst.
What are people just not talking about and should… you will be amazed.
If you are not prepared for what is coming, what is about to happen, then listen as Hrvoje and I discuss it…
If you are scratching your head, trying to figure out what people are doing, and not being prepared, you’ll love this episode.
If you don’t know much about the CBDC, Hrvoje and I talk about it…this is really worth listening to. So much so that I will do a complete episode just on this topic.
Listen in to the debate whether crypto is for real or not… you be the judge, both sides have some really compelling arguments.
What do you believe has happened these past 2 years? Are you in or are you out? Hrvoje and I have a nice little debate…what side of the fence will you fall on?
What you need to own come the future… you won’t believe it! And what not to own, I never actually gave this much thought, I will now for sure.
We talk about the globalists, the technocrats, do you think they’ve overplayed their hand? Do you think that things are going to get better or are we all screwed?
We have to fight the good fight and do what honest people do. Injustice against evil, don’t sit down and let it come and hit you.

184: Your Offshore Escape Plan: Securing True Freedom
Today on the Expat Money Show I am going to replay an interview I did with my friend Tom Bodrovics from Palisades Gold Radio that went live a couple of weeks ago.
I really enjoyed doing this interview and personally, I think I did an awesome job; however, not everyone in Tom's audience thought so. I got comments from people who really don't understand what we're talking about on this program or what we stand for Expat Money.
But, I would say the majority of the comments were really good and I ended up getting some fantastic clients out of it and was able to help, what I would think, a lot of people. So I want to replay the interview for you and hopefully help you to secure your own freedoms offshore.
IN TODAY’S EPISODE TOM AND I DISCUSS…
If you’re still unsure of how and where my extensive experience comes from, and why I can do what I do day in and day out, you’ll get a ton of value from this interview I did with Tom.
Why I’ve travelled to so many countries over so many years. Do I do it because I love to travel? Listen in to find out.
Why understanding and implementing good tax mitigation strategies can save you money, a lot of money over your entire lifetime.
As fellow Canadians, Tom and I discuss the horrific acts that Justin Castro is implementing for Canadian citizens.
If you’re not worried about the Cancel culture, you should be, you should be very afraid. Your country could be next…
Listen as we discuss the freest countries in the world, then…and now.
We chat about lessons we learned that might work today, but might not work tomorrow. Pay attention here.
Diversification, what does that REALLY mean when we’re talking about your assets. You may think you understand, but I’m here to tell you otherwise.
My best tips and tricks to legally open an offshore bank account in one of several countries around the world.
Why paying attention to the pros when it comes to immigration policies around the world can make you a very wealthy individual. And when you don’t listen and take action, what can ultimately happen...
The benefits of having an offshore bank account. Is it risky? We look at all of this in this episode, so don’t miss it.
Finally, we talk about the ways to get citizenship in a country, 4 + 1 way, maybe one of these will be ideal for you and your family.

I enjoyed my conversation with Tom and I think you will too. Even though you have probably listened to many many of my podcast episodes, you’ll find that with each episode we talk about something a little different. And with Tom, he asked me questions that you may not have heard in the past.

183: Navigating New Norms: Defending Children in Woke Educational Systems
Today on the Expat Money Show I am going to replay a really special webinar I did last week with my business partner and friend, Michael Strong, discussing why mainstream education is destroying your children and how you can easily prevent this.
This is not a new phenomenon and I don’t see it getting any better in the near future. With such a bleak outlook for our education system, it’s time parents took control of the situation to provide the very best education available today.
IN TODAY’S EPISODE WE DISCUSS…
How problems with today’s brick and mortar schools, like masking, bullying and the woke culture are defeating the true nature of our children and what you can do to eliminate this kind of behaviour.
Listen as Michael explains ideas of entrepreneurship and economic freedom and how your children can become great believers in peace and prosperity.
Why a statement like ‘capitalism makes the rich richer and the poor poorer’ is so absurd. Learn what capitalism really is, and why it's so important for our children’s future.
Michael and I discuss what teaching real history looks like, not what government-run schools demand their students to learn. It’s very sad.
How censorship is destroying your child, and if nothing is done to correct this, why they will likely never recover from it.
Is your child learning real skills that will help her to be the best adult she can be? Listen to why this is more important now than ever before.
What Socratic is, why it’s vitally important for your children’s education, and most importantly, why our school is based on this premise.
Catastrophic statistics for school-aged adolescents in the United States are off the charts. You will not believe these numbers, they are crazy!

CONCLUSION
I absolutely love interacting with Michael on what he knows best, and that’s education. After 30+ years in the education field and a firm background in free-market enterprise, he knows and understands how to help children grow into healthy, happy, productive adults.
If you have school-aged children, know parents that are not happy with their current education system or are grandparents with those same thoughts, please contact me or Michael today. The longer your child is part of government-run schools, the more harm is done.

We’ll be talking about residency by investment, citizenship by investment, and naturalization, and at the end of this, if you decide that you would like to move forward with one of these programs, I will give you an opportunity to work with me on it.
A FEW THINGS I DISCUSS IN THIS EPISODE...
I'm extremely excited to share with you something that my team and I have been working on for over a year and I want you to be the first to see it.
After 6 years in negotiations, I finally achieved one of my goals! I’ll tell you all about it!
Top 5 Caribbean countries that have the best Citizenship by investment programs and why you should be looking at one of them today to secure your future.
Why it’s so important for these small island nations to offer Citizenship by investment programs and how easy it is to get what you want in return.
My best advice to everyone that is sick and tired of living in a country with government rules and regulations that are not aligned with your core values, this will literally save your life.
Why playing the ‘waiting game’ is just a bad idea for your financial wealth and how you can ensure your family is well taken care of for generations to come.
How you can improve your odds drastically of keeping and growing your family's wealth by doing this one very simple thing. This one is my favourite…
The benefit of having multiple passports from different countries, and why this is possibly the most important step to make.
I let you in on a few secrets I have up my sleeve, that are just for you, and will make all the difference to you and your family, and why taking heed when it’s necessary is so vitally important.
A quick rundown of all of the European nations that STILL currently have Citizenship by investment programs, and what can happen if you decide to wait.

CONCLUSION
My last piece of advice is, if you want to do a CBI or a residency program, DO IT NOW. DON’T WAIT. Look how fast things change, on a weekly and monthly basis. Moldova, Cyprus, MM2H, Portugal, Montenegro, Vanuatu, Panama, all of these things have changed, and just in the past year. They usually get worse, or more expensive, rarely do we see changes that are for the better.
This is an insurance program that you buy once. There are no more dues or fees. You pay for it once and never have to pay for it again. The kicker is, you can’t buy fire insurance AFTER your house burns down, you have to do it in advance.Mentioned in this episode:Gold in the Caribbean—No Bank Can Touch ItFiat is failing.
