Gather up all of the major American cities and place them in one area and you will find they only encompass four percent of the country’s land mass, while 62.7 percent of the population calls one of these major cities home, this according to the U.S. Census Bureau ( U.S. Census Bureau, 2015).
A large concentration of people living and working in a very small land mass, so are major cities a target, of course, they are if the objective is to kill as many people as possible and to create the greatest disruption possible in this country.
Even if only one of the major cities were to be struck by a nuclear warhead the effect would reverberate across the nation. Suppose Washington D.C. was destroyed, or New York City where the hub of the world’s financial markets humming along each day. One strike and the country would be in turmoil.
Three Hundred and Eighteen Million Nine Hundred Thousand people live in this country and 62.7 percent of them occupy only four percent of the nations’ land mass. Cities are death traps, to put it bluntly, in the event of a nuclear attack. The only hope anyone has if a device was launched is that it is shot down, or malfunctions, or strikes a city other than the one you are living in.
Counter attack to stop any more coming, of course, but we have never been attacked so can we be sure our missile defense systems actually work in a real-world situation. And just how fast and how many ICBM’s can we send their way before another is launched at yet another target.
Defense systems work (most of the time) in simulations, but when an ICBM with a nuclear warhead packed in the cone is streaking toward our continent we want to know for sure, but we don’t, and we can only hope our counter-attack stops anymore launches.

When a maniac is controlling the switch anything is possible and it seems we have just such a maniac with his finger hovering over the launch button, or he would like us to believe such. We, however, have to believe he has the capability and is willing to use said capability. He is deranged so the consequences of an attack against the U.S. would not have any influence on him. This is the worst kind of enemy.
The world’s two nuclear superpowers, the United States and Russia for decades had an understanding. Mutually assured destruction was the mantra at the time. You launch, we launch, and both our countries are turned into glass parking lots. That was then, however, today there are other countries with nuclear capabilities. The only saving grace is that a large nuclear bomb capable of destroying a large city would have to be delivered by aircraft unless a country has the ability to mount a nuclear warhead on an ICBM. There are of course “tactical nukes” that are easily transported but frankly extremely difficult to get into a country and then be able to trigger the device. A nuke without a triggering device is a very heavy paperweight.
Low-Cost Root Cellar/Bunker
This guy did something very sharp and inventive: His cellar had all the benefits of our great-grandparents’ root cellars, the American Army war bunkers, and the secret Viet Cong building method with none of their drawbacks. Watch the video and learn more!
An ICBM is an Intercontinental Ballistic Missile. They are guided missiles and with today’s technology, they can strike with pinpoint accuracy. The range is tremendous, the minimum range is 3,500 miles plus, and given the advancements in technology that we may not even be aware of the actual range but assume the range could be considerably more.
At one point the missiles were designed for large cities/targets because of their limited accuracy, in other words, point it in that direction, and because it can deliver a thermonuclear warhead, close to a target was good enough because of the destructive power, but today they can be counted on to hit smaller targets with deadly accuracy.
Most modern designs support “multiple independently targetable reentry vehicles” (MIRVs), which allows a single missile to carry several warheads, each of which can strike a different target. As if one was not destructive enough.
An adversary, such as Russia would target strategic military installations, and infrastructure, with a focus on power stations to damage or to destroy the power grid.
A rogue nation would be just like an untrained shooter. The rounds could strike any and everywhere and they would be looking to create as many civilian casualties as possible, so cities large and small are potential targets.
As we had stated earlier fanatics and the truly deranged would not think far enough ahead to consider the consequences, so instead of trying to stop a counterattack by focusing on key areas of the military, a rogue country would likely choose random metropolitan areas first or any major city, which they, for whatever reason, feel would be symbolic and would create the most chaos. It could be any city.
Emigrate While You Still Can!
They say home is where the heart is, and the family.
But if the home becomes a sinkhole and a threat to your life and your family, one is left with a difficult choice.
Some say it’s cowardly and unpatriotic to abandon a sinking ship and escape to a better setting. I agree. I would like to stay until the last minute. The thing is that you’ll never know for sure when it’s your last train.
Jews who left Germany before the WWII lived a lifetime in other countries (like the USA). They had kids, they became grandparents. Those who stayed were starved to death and killed together with their families.
This week I tried to find some other countries (in 3 of them I’ve already been to) in which I may live a similar life with the one I live here (together with my family), but safer in so many ways.
The criteria for determining the best safe haven countries were:
- social stability
- fewer enemies
- economic freedom and opportunity
- freedom of self-expression
- self-sufficiency
- cost of living
- ease of visas and residency
- insulation to western collapse or wars

Costa Rica
Costa Rica is a mountainous country a lot like Switzerland, but located in a warm, though not tropical part of the world. There are a number of valleys where most of the people live but there are lots of mountain nooks and crannies to get lost in.
Costa Rica is quite small (like West Virginia) and is relatively close to the Equator, but the country actually contains about thirty different climate zones, with the temperatures ranging from 90 degrees on the beach to the low 50’s in the mountains. What that means among other things is that you don’t need to worry unduly about heating in the winter nor air conditioning in the summer. Also, the growing season is about 365 days long!
The soil is incredibly rich and farming is very easy. Fruit trees and berries considered expensive rarities in the states grow like weeds here. Also, for its size, the country is blessed by an abundance of water, since the country lies between the Caribbean and the Pacific and the mountains running the length of the country ensure lots of rainfall. Rivers are everywhere and the mountain streams are crystal clean. All electricity is generated by hydro!
Costa Rica is a safe Heaven!
The only problem with Costa Rica is that it’s really expensive to obtain a permanent residency there.

According to the government of Costa Rica, a US citizen has 4 alternatives for obtaining legal residency. You are eligible if:
1 – If you are receiving a lifetime pension such as military pension, social security or state retirement benefits of no less than $1,000 US per month. They even stated that “We have many retired military retiring here who are in their forties and are qualified pensionados”
2 – If you have a guaranteed income of $2,500 per month;
3 – If you make a deposit to a Costa Rica bank in the amount of $60,000. From this deposit, you will be paid at the rate of $2,500 per month for 24 months. This residency is for two years after which it must be renewed (another 60,000) or you must leave the country. Not cool Costa Rica, not cool!
4 – If you are an investor, who has at least $200,000 or more invested in Costa Rica
The government is so restrictive because they are going thru what our southern border is going thru…a lot of Colombian and Mexican immigrants.
Sweden
Few people know this, but Sweden isn’t part of NATO, so in case of an all-out war it has a big chance of staying aside, just like it happened in the WWII.
But at the same time, Sweden is part of the European Union. And that has a lot of benefits like traveling in all Europe countries without a visa. And if you obtain a citizenship, all you need is an ID.
If the Euro collapses, Sweden will not be very affected, since they don’t use Euros (they have Swedish krona – SEK).
I’ve been to Sweden myself and I can tell you that English is their second language. Everybody speaks fluent English there.
Sweden has been for many years the country with the highest salaries in Europe.
It’s expensive to live in, but at the same time, you can find a better-paid job than here. My cousin, who left the United States to live there (20 years ago) now earns 10K / month in construction.
He pays around 35% Tax and has Full Healthcare (everybody has there) until the day he dies.
Malaysia
Malaysia has one of the most robust economies in Asia, and this is reflected in the consistently high standard of living available to locals and expats alike.
On a modest budget, you truly can savor a life of luxury there. For as little as $5, you can enjoy an excellent meal, with a bottle of wine setting you back the same price. The street food is similarly scrumptious and one of the true charms of Malaysian cuisine.
New Yorker Thomas O’Neal speaks about his new life in Penang (Malaysia):
“I rent a 1,600-square-foot apartment with an amazing pool, just five minutes’ walk from the ritzy Gurney Plaza shopping mall. It costs me just $850 a month. I don’t need a car, either, so I’m saving money left, right, and center.
I love the weather – 82 F on average – and the ease of getting to Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Japan, and Laos. When you combine that with a cost of living of $1,500 per month, including my rent, it’s almost unbeatable.”
Because they were a British colony, English is widely spoken by locals, making it all the easier to adjust and find your way around.
Malaysia’s economy in 2014–2015 was one of the most competitive in Asia, ranking 6th in Asia and 20th in the world, higher than countries like Australia, France, and South Korea.
Between 2013 and 2014, Malaysia has been listed as one of the best places to retire in the world too, with the country in the third position on the Global Retirement Index. This in part was the result of Malaysia My Second Home program to allow foreigners to live in the country on a long-stay visa for up to 10 years. Here are the requirements:
- Applicants below 50 years old are required to open a fixed deposit account in Malaysia of $72,000 at any bank with a local branch.
After a period of one year, the participant can withdraw up to $36,000 for approved expenses relating to house purchase, education for children in Malaysia and medical purposes. However, a minimum balance of $36,000 must be maintained from the second year onwards and throughout stay in Malaysia under this program.
- Applicants 50 years old and above are required to have a monthly off-shore government pension of at least $2,300 and have a bank deposit of $36,000
After a period of one year, you can withdraw up to $12,000 for approved expenses relating to house purchase, education for children in Malaysia and medical purposes. However, a minimum balance of $24,000 must be maintained from the second year onward and throughout your stay in Malaysia.
3 Superfoods That Cost Almost Nothing To Make And Will Keep You And Your Family Well Fed No Matter What Happens.
One was praised as the great depression “food miracle”. The people that knew about it banished hunger for good…while the rest where starving and tightening their belts! Not only that you will learn the exact process of making it the right way, but you’ll use it to preserve meat in it and create one of the most finger-licking, mouth-watering tastiest foods you’ll ever eat. And the best part? It lasts up to two whole years without refrigeration.
The other food was also long-lasting. Invented by one of the most vicious samurais in history, it was born out of war and necessity. So don’t expect a gourmet meal here – but do expect this “samurai superfood” to be so nutrient rich and probiotic-packed that you and your entire family won’t need anything else for months on end.
With these 3 superfoods alone, you’ll probably have a complete stockpile in your group and you’ll never need to depend on anyone else in times of crisis. Watch the video below and learn more.
Chile
Chile is today one of South America’s most stable and prosperous nations. It leads Latin American nations in rankings of income per capita, state of peace, economic freedom, education and low perception of corruption.
There are a lot of opportunities and vast expat communities in Chile
Chile is a fully developed country with modern cities and a rich countryside with stunning views of the Andes Mountains from almost any location.
Chile maintains a lower cost of living than North America especially for rent and fresh food. Americans can get a tourist visa (good for 90 days) on entry to Chile for a cost of $160. Residency requirements in Chile are relatively flexible. Escapees can qualify for a Chilean Retirement and/or Income Visa by proving an income of between $500-$1000/month. Entrepreneurs can get residency by starting a business and foreigners can easily get a visa by working for a Chilean company.
Tasmania
Tasmania is an island state that is part of Australia (country) with half a million population.
TAS has plenty of water and fertile ground. It’s completely safe from every nuclear war or war of any kind. Nobody will ever bomb TAS (it wouldn’t be cost-effective).
The whole island is about the size of South Carolina and about 45% of Tasmania is National Parks, Wildlife Reserves, etc.
It has mountains and hills so it’s pretty safe from tsunamis.
There is a LOT of land per capita, so buying a farm is pretty cheap. On top of this, it’s Australia, so everybody speaks English (sort of).
The only downside of this heaven is that winters (actually summers) are cold and daily products are pretty expensive (like gas). And the Christmas is in full summer (actually winter). It would be weird to adapt living in the South Hemisphere (and kind of cool).
Obtaining a VISA is really easy. In most cases, all you need to do is prove you have a skill that they need and that you would like to settle there to work. Australia is about the size of the USA (without Alaska) with only 23 mil inhabitants, so they’re always looking for the skilled labor force.
Or if you want to invest in a farm or buy land… that will also do it.
What other countries do you think are the best safe haven nations and why?
