I've known for some time...

I've known what evil was in store for our nation since I was a small boy. By the time I reached high school I understood why things were happening. But shortly after I turned 21, I was approached by a man who claimed to know my grandfather. He said his name was George. He never gave me a last name. But he did give me specifics on what was to come... At first I had trouble believing him, but after things started actually happening based exactly on his blueprint, I took a closer look at the notes he left me. I was terrified at what I saw... The last decade especially frightens me. His predictions were very precise. In 2007, under terrible economic pressure of moochers and leeches, I surrendered my business. It was my first shrugging. Over the last year I have begin shrugging family members who are among the worst of the moochers. I was once successful, now I'm broke. But I still have my mind and my soul and that is all I need. I am already planning my third and final shrug. I cannot be a party to the coming massacre. When I shrug, I will not be found unless it is my intent to be found by another shrugger. George was my whisper in the darkness. He was my Galt. Maybe I can be someone else's Galt one day. In the mean time, are there any recommendations for a good place to shrug?
for more time to spend with my family and less governmental intrusion. there is corruption everywhere. and I would rather live where things are relatively cheap and I can grow food year round while waiting out a financial collapse
I don't know how to answer your question. I guess if you don't mind completely cutting off from our Western culture and technology, you could either move (on foot) deep into either the Alaskan wilderness or Canada, or go opposite and go live deep in the Amazon, or perhaps down to Patagonia. Ultimately, that's what I think the Left want us to do: live a VERY hard life, doing without modern conveniences like plumbing, electricity and the Internet. (While they get it all) But, the problem they have with this is that, you wouldn't be paying them taxes, since you wouldn't be working for anyone,other than for your own, daily survival. And that is completely unacceptable to them!
The point here is I have no idea. Just avoid the big cities.
In Montana we can grow it, raise it or shoot it for food. Strong 2nd Amendment ideas here too. There are also tons of natural resources including water, timber, oil and gas. So far the ecofreaks have managed to stop most of the oil and gas development and the Feds mismanage all our forests. There are a lot of moochers here too, but they're mooching off the Feds mostly and are non-survivors when things hit the fan.
I think one of our biggest assets, besides the natural resources is that there are less than 1 million people in the entire state.
That is far more dangerous.
No one realized they moved away.
No one realized they had become the "north."
No one noticed them because they continued to blame the South.
No one expected the ones who fought to keep slavery, and against the civil rights to put in a black guy who actuality bought into the lie.
No one will expect it when the "final solution" comes.
No one will realize that they were their own undoing.
Damn the "old South", bless the new, for they ARE learning that lesson.
