How to Weather a Storm

Austria's government is going full steam ahead with its plan to make vaccines mandatory. As expected, there won't be anyone going door to door to enforce the mandate. Instead, there will be fees to pay for anyone wanting to stay unvaccinated.

This illustrates the stranglehold that the current system has put on most people. Everything we own is registered with the state, and can therefore be confiscated without the use of force. However, there are enough loopholes for Austrians to escape the mandate.

The most straightforward way to circumvent the mandate is to bribe someone to provide a vaccine passport. This is not free, but less costly than to pay the fee demanded by the state. The other obvious solution is emigration. But the options don't end at this. It's possible to stay in Austria, and remain unvaccinated, without having to pay the fee.

Key to this possibility is the recognition that the state will only punish those who can be punished through the system. People without any registered wealth will not be punished because they cannot be fined, nor can their wealth be confiscated without force.

This is the option I chose for myself when I faced a confiscatory tax on the sale of my house in Norway, so I know from experience that it works. However, it requires a number of drastic measures. It also requires legal proxies that can be trusted. Apart from this, the arrangement is flexible. It can be implemented in stages, with family members leaving the system at different times.

The steps required by each individual are as follows:

1. Sell everything
2. Buy physical gold
3. Close all accounts
4. Register all remaining assets with a proxy

The proxy may be someone who's fine with being vaccinated, living abroad, or fine with the annual fee. This may be the husband or wife. It may be a child or a parent. It may be a friend. The important point is that the person can be trusted to act as a proxy. The proxy provides whatever is needed for the sovereign, be it proxy bank accounts or proxy ownership.

This may seem drastic, but emigration is in many cases even more dramatic. Besides, choosing to become a sovereign by leaving the system comes with immediate rewards. The sovereign will never again have to report to authorities. Taxes become a thing of the past, and rules that are enforced solely with fines can be ignored. Emigration doesn't provide such rewards. The emigrant merely changes one master with another, and the new master may turn out just as bad as the previous one.
