Here's a local guy and I think I'll give him a ring and get face to face with him, and hear his ideas for the future! Kewl, eh?

Dear A-Letter Reader:

Since I became Chairman of The Sovereign Society seven years ago, I've
received many messages asking me what the Society stands for and in
particular, how a person can become a "sovereign individual." I think,
as we reflect on the past year and look forward to 2006, this question
is well worth addressing.

Over the past few decades there has been a steady growth of government
as the masses of voters have learned that they can manipulate government
to their advantage. The majority has discovered that it can enrich
itself at the expense of the successful and thrifty minority.

This attack on the most productive individuals in countries such as the
US, Canada, Germany, and the UK has had the same effect that the
repressive policies of King George had in the 18th century. It has led to
a rising exodus of society's most productive people as they migrate to
political environments that offer greater asset protection, privacy and
lower taxation.

Many are moving only their assets offshore to countries that offer more
financial privacy and low or no taxation. A smaller but rising number
are electing to move themselves and their families offshore as well.

While a few officially disconnect from their nation of birth by
renouncing their citizenship, others merely reside offshore while
retaining their original citizenship. And many more conduct their
businesses and diversify their assets offshore.

Those who do these things are choosing individual sovereignty over
allegiance to any government. In essence, they have decided to become
"sovereign individuals."

Over the years my own study and writings on the subjects of political
coercion, freedom and free markets has led to correspondence,
affiliations and friendships with like-minded individuals from many
disciplines and from many countries.

In 1998, some of us formed The Sovereign Society, a group of the
world's most creative thinkers on the subjects of personal and financial
freedom, along with individuals who are motivated to achieve personal
independence for themselves. The Society's aim is to offer wealth solutions
to members so that they can develop global strategies for investment,
privacy, and asset protection.

I think of the Society not as a club or organization, but as a virtual
society; a community existing all over the world in the
hearts and minds of its citizen members. Essentially, it offers members
a new concept of "citizenship" in a cyber-country that takes its shape
not on the basis of geography, but on the basis of shared ideals.

Through borderless cyberspace and with the security of encryption, we
teach our members how to carry on intellectual and financial commerce
world-wide, 24 hours a day. Most importantly, citizen-members work
with one another in their quest to find sanctuary from fiat paper
currencies, manipulated investments, private and state snoops, property
seizures and other incursions on civil and economic liberties.

Our objective is to find free market alternatives to the services that
governments today promise but fail to provide -- safe and private
investments; security from crime and violence; and old age security,
just to name a few.

From a nucleus of fewer than 1,000 members in 1998, we're now more
than 11,000 strong. And over 100,000 people regularly read this free
Sovereign Society Offshore A-Letter.
