Even though it maybe the most heavily taxed country in the world with more laws than anywhere also,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,






James Cameron, the Hollywood producer responsible for blockbuster films like Terminator, Titanic and Avatar, is reportedly preparing to exit stage left. While the move for the Canadian born Cameron may initially be perceived as a rejection or denouncement of American policies and ideals, Cameron, who has made campaign donations to the Democrat Party (http://www.newsmeat.com/celebrity_political_donations/James_Cameron.php) in the past, most notably during the 2004 Presidential election where he supported democrat John Kerry, may have ulterior motivations, as evidenced by where he’s planning on moving and what he’s planning on doing once he gets there.
From time to time we get a glimpse into the goings on of the well connected. This may be one of those moments:

Cameron has successfully applied to buy 1,067 hectares (2,636 acres) of farmland in New Zealand. In an application filed with the New Zealand Overseas Investment Office, Cameron says he and his family “intend to reside indefinitely in New Zealand and are acquiring the property to reside on and operate as a working farm.”

As we’ve outlined before, farmland is one of the only reasonable physical assets to hold in the event of a major crisis (http://www.shtfplan.com/emergency-preparedness/the-ultimate-crisis-hedge-land-physical-land_08232011), as you’ll be outside of highly populated metropolitan areas, you’ll have the ability to produce your own food, generate your own energy, and, more so than your urbanite and suburbanite counterparts, stay away from the chaos that will ensue during a major upheaval.
Liberty Media CEO James Malone, like director James Cameron, has also taken refuge outside of major cities at his ranch (http://www.shtfplan.com/emergency-preparedness/a-peak-into-a-billionaires-bug-out-plan_07192010) on the Quebec border, giving him and his family an immediate international bug out plan in the event of an emergency. Another sign from the elite is that large net worth individuals and investment managers are buying up and taking physical delivery of precious metals (http://www.shtfplan.com/precious-metals/university-of-texas-takes-physical-delivery-of-1-billion-in-gold_04182011), which in our humble opinion, is a leading indicator that large in-the-know investors are preparing for a loss of confidence in the stability of the global economic, monetary, financial and/or political systems.
Congressman Roscoe Bartlett recently warned that Those Who Can, Should Move Their Families Out Of the City (http://www.shtfplan.com/emergency-preparedness/congressman-warns-those-who-can-should-move-their-families-out-of-the-city_05272011), and insiders are worried about game changing riots (http://www.shtfplan.com/headline-news/bugging-out-of-nyc-something-terrible-is-coming-so-for-now-i%E2%80%99m-getting-out_10202011) stemming from the Occupy movement.
The theory that elite members of society know something is amiss is further strengthened by comments such as those of financier George Soros who publicly declared in a recent interview with Newsweek that he expects violent riots on the streets of America (http://www.shtfplan.com/george-soros/soros-warns-of-violent-riots-in-america-financial-collapse-government-clampdown-survival-is-the-most-important-thing_01242012) in coming months and years.
Furthermore, we have federal agencies and local police departments actively training for urban conflict (http://www.shtfplan.com/headline-news/battle-los-angeles-joint-military-training-exercises-in-l-a-seek-to-prepare-soldiers-for-urban-warfare_01242012), and the Pentagon has been war gaming scenarios that include large scale economic breakdown and civil unrest (http://www.shtfplan.com/marc-faber/pentagon-military-actively-war-gaming-large-scale-economic-breakdown-and-civil-unrest_11222010).
The stories reported over the last several years point to a growing consensus among elite business leaders, politicians, and military generals that we’re headed into a situation that is wholly unpredictable. They know the system is on the brink, (http://www.shtfplan.com/headline-news/confirmed-were-literally-on-the-brink-of-catastrophic-collapse_01062011) have said so repeatedly (http://www.shtfplan.com/headline-news/economic-architect-bernanke-economy-close-to-faltering-concerns-about-europe-very-serious-risk-of-substantial-impact-to-u-s-economy_10042011), and are actively taking steps to manage a crisis should it ever come to that.
Short of the mainstream media coming out and broadcasting to the American people that the system is about to destabilize and to expect nothing short of total meltdown and pandemonium, reading between the lines and watching the actions of those who are interconnected with the money and power structures on which the system is built will be our only warning signal for the difficult times we face in the near future.
The message is loud and clear. Are you listening?

Something to consider is why they choose the particular places they do. Earth changes ramping up will devastate some areas and others will prove to be safe havens.

Richard Heinberg, just some guy who lives in Sonoma County and writes about collapse related to the end of Cheap Oil, uses the term "Feudalism".

maybe we should call it Jewdalism - and reject it, refuse to engage in commerce with it/ the Octopus - insofar as possible.

NZ is a paradise now...but some think earth changes are going to do some significant damage to the islands.

That is the beauty of this coming apocalypse...no one has any real clue as to what will go down.

It's all karma at that point. Ha ha ha.

I think too many people are reading too deep into this, falsely concluding that all the rich people are fleeing the United States. If I were rich, I'd want to buy a lot of land in that part of the world too.

Considering he has a bazillion acre Montana ranch I find this move to be a vote of no confidence in the United States.

Patagonia, Zanzibar, Tasmania and New Zealand. They are all South of the Equator, which means very little fall out from the Northern hemisphere nuclear war will come. No nuclear winter either (dust in the atmosphere)...

I was indirectly responding to this video, which I had previously watched. Alex Jones made a total ass of himself (even though I like him generally):

It's interesting to note similarities among different sources. This might get you started---there's much more out there.

i don't think it's too big a deal.

when some rich Russian or European buys an estate in Florida - well, that's just what rich people do.

Cameron is getting older, he's 65-ish. he's working on Avatar 2 & probably Avatar 3. the main contractor for the huge movie - which is 99.99% CGI - is in New Zealand.

heck, if i was him i'd do the same thing.


BUT - i have to wonder if there is more to this. maybe the reason he went to a New Zealand FX company many years ago, for Avatar, is because he himself wanted to leave the US.

Doesn't look like his close friends will be coming to visit him...

MELBOURNE, Australia – The award-winning American cinematographer, Mike deGruy (60), and Australian writer-producer, Andrew Wright (51), have died in a helicopter crash off the east coast of Australia.


The Sydney Morning Herald reports that Wright was piloting the helicopter, which crashed down during take-off from an airstrip on the south coast of New South Wales on Saturday afternoon local time. DeGruy was the only other person on board.


The president of the local South Coast Recreational Flying Club, David Bennett, witnessed the crash. The Herald Sun and The Australian newspapers say Bennett had spoken to the men shortly beforehand and they had told him they were setting out to nearby Jervis Bay to film part of a documentary.


Tributes are already being paid to deGruy, who was an award-winning cinematography, specialised in shooting underwater. His website says he had won several BAFTA and Emmy awards for his work.


The Deep Sea News said of deGruy's death: "It’s a great loss for the world whenever someone passes who has devoted their career to conveying to the public the beauty and wonder of the oceans.”


The TED blog also posted a tribute, saying: "Mike was truly one of the great teachers and advocates for the oceans."


Wright, meanwhile, was the writer-producer behind Sanctum, which took in US$100 million last year, becoming the most successful Australian film of 2011. The Deadline Hollywood website describes him as the “right-hand man” of Avatar and Titanic director James Cameron. They worked together on Sanctum and less than three weeks ago Wright had been named as head of Cameron Pace, Cameron’s first international 3D production office, based in Melbourne, Australia.

"Mike and Andrew were like family to me," AP reports Cameron as saying. "Both were true explorers who did extraordinary things and went places no human being has been."


DeGruy leaves behind his wife and two teenage children. Wight is survived by his wife and an infant.
