Constipated Economy
October 22, 2014 By: Kelly Diamond, Publisher By now, Lyft, Uber, and Sidecar are all fairly well known in metropolitan areas like San Francisco and the Greater Los Angeles area. It’s a smart phone application based service that is turning the taxi and private transportation industry on its ear! They are drastically undercutting the taxi […]
The Double Irish
October 16, 2014 By: Kelly Diamond, Publisher Ireland got creative with its tax regime: businesses loved it, the EU… not so much. Condemning tax competition by a country doing its level best to recuperate from bailout conditions only 5 years ago is cruel, to say the very least. Back in August I wrote a piece […]
China v the US = Strategy v Tragedy
October 13, 2014 By: Kelly Diamond, Publisher While the United States is fixated on some new tribe of rebels in Iraq and Syria, China just swooped by and surpassed the United States twenty-seven ways to Sunday. As I’ve mentioned in nearly every single article to do with China, they are and have been playing a […]
“Exit Visas” in Canada?
October 6, 2014 By: Kelly Diamond, Publisher Over thirteen years after 9/11, and we are now, more than ever, under heightened security measures.

The War on Information
September 29, 2014 By: Kelly Diamond, Publisher If you’re reading this, then you might be a recovering American convalescing over ruthless indoctrination as well as battered citizen syndrome: where the government abuses your rights, and then later apologizes with an election and a nice speech. So it might come as little surprise that a school […]
Sentiments on Secession
September 22, 2004 By: Kelly Diamond, Publisher The big thing in news this past week has been the referendum for an emancipated Scotland from the UK. Unfortunately, it did not pass. I say “unfortunately” because all secession is good secession. Decentralizing power is the only true way to limit a government, i.e. limiting the scope […]
Good News For US Canadian Dual Nationals – FATCA Post
September 18, 2014 By: Brian Mahany, Principal at Mahany & Ertl The United States and Canada have long enjoyed very close ties. That relationship isn’t likely to change in the near future, although FATCA – the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act – has angered many Canadians. Some equate FATCA with U.S. imperialism and say the […]
First World Problems
September 15, 2014 By: Kelly Diamond, Publisher I am often reminded by many Europeans on Facebook how much better they have it than the United States. They look down their noses at the apparent selfishness of America and her constituents. And yet, there are those who would beg to differ. I recently spoke with a […]
Working Around the U.S.
September 8, 2014 By: Kelly Diamond, Publisher “If President Obama and his successors continue with their heavy-handed approach of levying sanctions against every country that does something US policymakers don’t like, it will only lead to more countries shunning the dollar and accelerating the dollar’s slide into irrelevance.” — Aug 10, 2014, Ron Paul, former […]
The Truth About Paraguayan Citizenship
September 3, 2014 By: Bobby Casey, Managing Director of GWP Comparatively speaking, Paraguay is one of the easiest and most affordable countries in which to obtain residency, a passport, and ultimately citizenship. Don’t cut corners. Do it by the book, and in a matter of a few years, you’ll have a legitimate passport and citizenship […]
