@ ChearsBigEars
Thanks.
I don’t understand some peoples resistance to gold. Haven’t they had enough lies from their financial institutions? Owning physical gold is your ONLY real protection against losing everything. Gold will still be here long after Caligula is gone and Rome burns
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE BUYING YOUR FIRST OUNCE OF GOLD
Some initial guidelines from one of America’s top gold experts
Love the line – “If the bank asks me where I was born, I plan to say “Eritrea”. And then, no problem – hey presto, John Baird, the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Flaherty the Finance Minister will personally stand by at the bank entrance and offer Canadians their private emergency contact numbers in case you should have any problems with foreign countries extorting your personal financial information and taxing your Canadian assets on Canadian soil.
But, if it’s about the US taxing over one million Canadians – including rifling through small Canadian children’s education savings, your maternity benefits, or your RDSP, don’t bother. They’ll just let it ring.
BTW the 6 pm news tonight had a story about how the new government immigration policy will crash the housing market here.
LOL wait till they see the spin of effects of Harpers betrayal of Canadian citizens
FATCA might be good for the housing market. People will cash in their taxable Tax-Free Savings accounts, and Canadian mutual funds (which were useless enough BEFORE they were considered PFICS), and buy houses. IRS might come knocking on your door, but they can’t take your house back to the US with them.
WhiteKat well depends on how far our govt will go to accommodate our new occupiers. I’m happy owning nothing in my name but a car
Hi Charl,
I sent you an e-mail.
I’m sorry you’re caught up in this. I’m glad you posted this evening. I hope you feel a bit less alone. There’s a lot of us caught up in this, and the people here are really supportive. Combined together, we have a lot of experience navigating through this, so everybody’s a big help to everybody else.
Don’t worry too much about those huge penalties. Really. When it comes to normal everyday people living outside the US, IRS does’t seem to be charging them with those FBAR penalties, except if they enter a “voluntary disclosure program.” You want to stay away from those programs, known as OVDI/OVDP, for sure.
Just read the caldwell newest article. http://en.afrikinfos.com/2014/02/11/us-and-eritrea-tax-canadas-fatca-capitulation/
I commented on it.”Mr. Caldwell,, Thank you again. You have pulled the curtain of the great fake Oz. FATCA is so wrong. We watch the leaders in the USA,, like Chris Christie and others like him. They are bullies. America is made up of bullies. My Canadian government has let this bully take our sovereignty away and violate our constitution. The USA is no better than Eritrea –
A government that has been accused of repression and of hindering the development of democracy”
Welcome Charl,
I hate what’s happening to our senior citizens through this. As much as you probably hate running afoul of any tax obligations, you have to realize that the likelihood of being pursued is quite low. If you must worry, take it one day at a time and don’t do anything you haven’t put a lot of consideration into. There is going to be quite a bit of upheaval in the next while, and it’s best to wait and see what the landscape looks like later when the dust settles.
Thanks so very much for all that have responded to my yelling for help. I actually feel a bit better already knowing going forward I will have kindred folk holding my hand. Pacifica, I will email you the details of my story tomorrow when I might be less hysterical after a nights rest. I am very grateful for your willingness to hear my story and offer of help. I am just so confused and scared.
Charl, We feel your pain. Don’t panic. Don’t change a thing. Stop and consider. You are a senior living off a small RIF and CPP.
Now ask yourself , seriously, why would the IRS consider going after you when they have nothing to gain? Believe!!! They won’t. They don’t know you exist and there is no reason for them to find out.
As far as travelling south is concerned, carry on as before. If asked why you don’t have a US passport, smile sweetly and say’ I gave it up after i became canadian’ If told to get one, smile sweetly and say ‘thank you very much” As far as Em is concerned, the IRS doesn’t know she exists either.
@ Duke of Devon
Yes it does know. I’m in the system.
Welcome, Charl.
We all welcome you. Stay here for the emotional support you so need right now. Listen to the Duke: he always gives you backbone with common sense words as he cheers you on. Em is right that Pacifica will be a friend and provide you with lots to start your further research. (I guess you too would not have believed former US Ambassador David Jacobson’s words about the US not being after Canadian grannies.)
oh, I’m soooooo soooooo sad:
JP Morgan Executive Becomes 5th Banker to Die in Last 2 Weeks
Suggested project…..essays on how to convince more bankers to renounce their useless lives
ChearsBigEars,
Gruesome, and as one commenter puts it:
all 8 nails were inserted into the back of his head, at the base of the skull. is this true???????????? if so we are gehfuckt because when something like that can be reported and accepted as plausible and palatable…… we are doomed… anything goes, the sheeple are brain dead, like a pithed frog, like the dude with nails in his head who keeps on breathing…. YOU CANNOT SHOOT NAILS INTO THE BACK OF UR HEAD, INTO THE BASE OF YOUR SPINE…. but thats accepted and we move on to figure skating and why boodie miller came in 8th place? we deserve what we are going to get…..
This is the first media coverage of FATCA. (1:27:50)
The thumbmail for the video has been hacked by a porn site.
I wonder what organization might have been so genius as to have hacked it?
EM that photo was one of my all time favorites. Nice to see these people self destruct. I want to see some in Canada jump. We are all sick to death of Banksterism. There is NOTHING worse than a smelly rat banker.
Here is another gem. Currency war starting
This is a must watch in my opinion……its beautiful and should give all of us hope.
Folks, the end is really really near. In my opinion do not comply, do not worry, do not panic. Sit tight and let the inevitable destruction of our corrupt Capitalist system happen and sit back with a smile. We are seeing it before our eyes. Stop your misplaced naive patriotism and nationalism. Stop being sheep like goody goody little Americans and Canadians. We have had war declared against us. We must act like PEOPLE and stand up to corporate BS and bullying every time we go in the mall, the grocery store, watch TV etc. We know that the powers that control this evil system think we are idiots and will not question them, like when they try to tell our kids that Apple is better when Blackberry is the best and most secure phone. Just an example of the constant brainwashing they are doing to us as soon as we wake up each morning until we go to bed and try to sleep but can’t because of what they are doing to us.
We now know we are not appreciated so lets stop appreciating the system we live in. Stop consuming!!!
We all know about the “Know your Customer” bank rules and yet some of us still answer the friendly tellers when they ask “how are you”” “what are you doing this weekend”” What are you using the money for?” questions that are all designed to gather information for your dossier. We need to fight back with a ‘Know your Bank Manager’ policy where we gather important information on them for our own protection. There are 8,000 banks in Canada approx. If someone would put up a web site where banksters personal information can be posted on say only 100 of them just to send a message to those who would dare attempt to extort from us or generally ruin our lives and be accessed wouldn’t that be interesting? BANKERS SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO HAVE PRIVACY RIGHTS UNDER THE CHARTER IF WE ARE NOT. Fight back. Gather information on your bank manager as he/she is the REAL criminal. It’s for your own protection. Go in and ask them personal questions about their family, where they live, what their financial situation is, who they vote for, anything at all really. Record everything for safety sake. Maybe do the same for bank objectionable employees. Let’s do this! And let them know about it. I wish I could design a foolproof unhackable web site for members to upload to. Maybe there is a web designer out there. Another thing we should do every time we communicate with one of these objectionable scumbags is say “Our conversation is being recorded for quality control” and pull out your mobile and turn on the voice recorder. Wake up and use their tactics against them. We need to spook the bank officers all across the country. You would not believe how much data they have on each of us. Is this fair that they should have this information? My Hero Eric Snowden thinks not. My hero’s at Anonymous think not. What do YOU think?
I am really getting peeved to sit here and watch the people who have anything to do with the US get tortured. The Canadian government can’t even reply to letters regarding people’s lives. Did any of you ever wonder why the Native movement does things deemed “illegal” in Canadian law? At least doing something “illegal” gets an answer and the job done. I never thought I’d say that!
Regarding the recent banker “suicides”, it could be that they were potential whistleblowers who were silenced. What’s up with these bank drills scheduled for Feb. 15th and 16th? And then Feb. 17th is a holiday. Couldn’t hurt to have some cash on hand for over the long weekend even though the banks putting out notices of the drill all seem to be in the USA. Messing with bank computer systems can sometimes create unintended consequences. I remember a computer update at our bank which created niggling problems for us afterwards.
