There are a variety of options. I have a family member who’s capable of achieving residency in pretty much any European country — My 11yr old daughter and her mom who are Russian born and living in Russia. My daughter’s mom’s father (my father-in-law technically) is a Russian gov’t member (diplomatic connections / “special privileges,” clout).
But what I’d like to do —be it Finland, Norway, or Germany, is to technically be a guest; utilizing extended visa processes to enjoy non permanent stays between multiple countries. I’m used to this in the US for the past 12 years, spreading my stays between 3 states. I don’t necessarily need nor want to establish permanent residency nor citizenship any other place. It’s not a must, but IF or when the need or desire arose, I could.

Understand that to say "There is a Shadow Govt" is literal. It is a real "conspiracy." Your votes are powerless.
“In politics, nothing happens by accident. If it happens, you can bet it was planned that way.” ~ FDR
“The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of.” ~ Edward Bernays (“the father of public relations” and nephew of Sigmund Freud), Propaganda, 1928
Since I entered politics, I have chiefly had men’s views confided to me privately. Some of the biggest men in the United States, in the field of commerce and manufacture, are afraid of somebody, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they had better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it. ~ President Woodrow Wilson
There exists a shadowy government with its own Air Force, its own Navy, its own fundraising mechanism, and the ability to pursue its own ideas of the national interest, free from all checks and balances, and free from the law itself. ~ Senator Daniel K. Inouye
It is ironic that the U.S. would begin a devastating war, allegedly in search of weapons of mass destruction, when the most worrisome developments in this field are occurring in your own backyard. It is ironic that the U.S. should be fighting monstrously expensive wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, allegedly to bring democracy to those countries, when it itself can no longer claim to be called a democracy, when trillions, and I mean thousands of billions of dollars have been spent on projects about which both the Congress and the Commander in Chief have been kept deliberately in the dark. ~ Canadian Defence Minister Paul Hellyer
The very word “secrecy” is repugnant in a free and open society; and we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths and to secret proceedings. We decided long ago that the dangers of excessive and unwarranted concealment of pertinent facts far outweighed the dangers which are cited to justify it. Even today, there is little value in opposing the threat of a closed society by imitating its arbitrary restrictions. Even today, there is little value in insuring the survival of our nation if our traditions do not survive with it. And there is very grave danger that an announced need for increased security will be seized upon by those anxious to expand its meaning to the very limits of official censorship and concealment. That I do not intend to permit to the extent that it is in my control. … For we are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies primarily on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence–on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice, on guerrillas by night instead of armies by day. It is a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit, highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific and political operations. Its preparations are concealed, not published. Its mistakes are buried, not headlined. Its dissenters are silenced, not praised. No expenditure is questioned, no rumor is printed, no secret is revealed. ~ President John F. Kennedy
A power has risen up in the government greater than the people themselves, consisting of many, and various, and powerful interests, combined into one mass, and held together by the cohesive power of the vast surplus in the banks. ~ John C. Calhoun, 7th Vice President of The United States
The real menace of our Republic is the invisible government, which like a giant octopus sprawls its slimy legs over our cities, states and nation … The little coterie of powerful international bankers virtually run the United States government for their own selfish purposes. They practically control both parties … [and] control the majority of the newspapers and magazines in this country. They use the columns of these papers to club into submission or drive out of office public officials who refuse to do the bidding of the powerful corrupt cliques which compose the invisible government. It operates under cover of a self-created screen [and] seizes our executive officers, legislative bodies, schools, courts, newspapers and every agency created for the public protection. ~ New York City Mayor John F. Hylan
Today the path to total dictatorship in the U.S. can be laid by strictly legal means … We have a well-organized political-action group in this country, determined to destroy our Constitution and establish a one-party state … It operates secretly, silently, continuously to transform our Government … This ruthless power-seeking elite is a disease of our century… This group … is answerable neither to the President, the Congress, nor the courts. It is practically irremovable. ~ Senator William Jenner
In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists, and will persist. … Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defence with our peaceful message and goals. ~ 34th U.S. President And 5 Star General, Dwight Eisenhower
The world is governed by very different personages to what is imagined by those who are not behind the scenes. ~ Benjamin Disraeli, First British MP
Behind the ostensible government sits enthroned an invisible government owing no allegiance and acknowledging no responsibility to the people. ~ 26th U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt

I dont know much about politics but isnt Noway, Finland, Sweden and other Nordic countries socialist? But they are regarded as some as the best places to live in the world. Then why is there so much resistance in the US as its shifts from a capitalism to socialist society. Nords seems to have a good quality of life. Can we not immulate there system. What am I missing here.

I don't know how it is in those countries but if it is good to live there, I would guess the difference is our govt is a bunch of crooks that don't care a darn thing about us.
It's becoming more apparent as the days and weeks go by, everything is happening so fast now, that this govt is becoming a dictatorship or a totalitarian govt. We are headed for communism as is the rest of the world. Everything bad that we see going on in our country is happening around the globe. The weakest countries are being affected faster, the ones that gave up their guns are models for the global economy reset.

You're missing the fact that they aren't "socialist." They have strong social support networks though.
The Heritage Foundation’s Index of Economic Freedom, which measures how capitalist a country is by studying regulation and taxation in different areas of the economy, ranks Denmark and Iceland as the 10th and 11th most capitalist countries in the world. Finland comes in at 17th, Sweden at 21st, and Norway at 28th. By comparison, the United States is ranked 20th. Property rights, business freedom, monetary freedom, and trade freedom are strong in the Nordic nations.

Our system is completely rotted to the core. There's likely no fixing it at this point. The people in power are so entrenched there's no getting them out of power. And I'm not talking the so called elected goons who rile up the masses every 2 or 4 years on culture war bullshit. We're talking about the people who never lose. The people who can't lose because they built the system to protect their interests.
Americans need to wake up. The only way to fix this country is a violent revolution. Voting can't work because the real leaders are not elected. Those are the puppets. Blood will force a reckoning. The bloodier, the better.
