Or should I say anyone who values his privacy, freedom and escape from the bureaucracy has been waiting for. How YOU Can Say Bye Bye Big Brother and Hello to a Happy, Healthy and Wealthy New Life! For the past five years, a highly unusual and clandestine group of some of the world's finest financial and legal brains have been collaborating on a major new project. This project is going to make them, together with a small, select group of like-minded individuals who understand their vision, a great deal wealthier. The team includes elite lawyers and chartered accountants, taxation and asset protection experts, top financial gurus, civil rights activists, and several self-made multi-millionaires. The motto they chose to work under? Bye Bye Big Brother. The goal? To help like-minded business and professional people find a new, unorthodox path away from socialistic, suffocating Big Brother controls to a richer, more fulfilling life as part of the international jetset. And the plan to achieve this elusive goal? A comprehensive, totally legal strategy, to enable any person of intelligence to instantly enjoy a life free of most taxes, litigation, kidnappers, con-men, bureaucrats, alimony-drones, and similar problems of the rich. Themes they investigated included how to find and enjoy the world's finest playgrounds, tax havens, the best places to invest, and the most profitable areas to do business. Confidential, reliable banking relationships were shared. So was sensitive information on the little known tax and asset protection benefits that second passports can bring. Everyone agreed that a coherent, long term strategy for dealing with government regulators, legal systems and tax authorities (Big Brothers for short) was one of the most important issues to be solved. And they did solve it! By eliminating the usual obstacles at a stroke, the Bye Bye Big Brother masterplan frees up the time and capital needed to enjoy life to the fullest. Anyone who follows this advice can reap the rewards of their inheritances or hard work, and move up to the highest international levels in their fields. This can only be done with very special knowledge and power, the power to say Bye Bye Big Brother. How it Works: Revealing the Offshore Asset Protection and Privacy Secrets of the Super Rich! Every day you read in newspapers and magazines about super successful people or companies using these techniques. They do not spell out exactly how to do it, but the secret is simply internationalizing your affairs. Never leave any single government with complete control over your ass and your assets! The beauty of the plan is that it requires virtually no investment. No high priced lawyers or accountants. Only the motivation and knowledge that you will gain from Bye Bye Big Brother. Your local lawyer or tax planner hasn't a clue on how to accomplish this. Moreover, even if he did know how to do it, he would be forbidden to tell you. But in reality, international diversification has never been easier. You can send an e-mail to a business associate in the next office, or around the world. Indeed, a one-man company can become a multinational just by thinking internationally. Since its inception, the BBBB team worked hard to create and commission a unique series of nearly one hundred special reports. These covered legal offshore financial, privacy and asset protection strategies, tax-free residencies, second passports and citizenships, and many associated lifestyle and investment issues. Every one of these reports was based upon a costly consulting session with a top expert in the field. Much of the information was originally written up at the request of private consulting clients who paid many thousands of euros for the information. Originally, the team planned to set up their own consulting website to sell each of the 100 or so reports separately, at a cost of US $100 each. But, problems and opportunities are related. The solutions recommended in the reports are really part of a bigger picture. Together, these reports form a complete and coherent plan for solving all your problems and opening up immense new opportunities. We really want you to read all the reports. If you read one report and not another, you might not connect the dots correctly. You would only have part of the picture. So we decided instead to sell all the ninety-odd reports in one set, even though it meant accepting a substantial cut in the final price for this information... How YOU can learn from Real-Life Offshore Case Studies Instead of the $10,000 we originally valued the complete set of reports at (100 consultations plus extras), we decided to make the price accessible to the any moderately successful, middle class business or professional person! To do this, we decided to bind them together into a luxury book format. So we turned over all these exclusive reports to a new editor-in-chief. He's a lively old raconteur and writer who believes passionately in freedom, privacy and the right of the individual to do what he pleases with his hard-earned money. Our editor, who prefers to be known only as "Grandpa", has been living as an international man for over sixty years. He speaks several languages, has practised tax and immigration law, and has vast experience in coping with bureaucracy in more than twenty-two countries, including the USA, UK and Switzerland. Grandpa's job was to edit all reports, fit them together in a logical and comprehensible order, and make them easy for the layman to read. He excelled at this task, and the first three hardback, high-quality bound volumes are now available for shipping. More than 800 pages of exclusive and powerful information! Bye Bye Big Brother is nothing like any accounting or legal textbook (although most lawyers and CPAs could learn a lot from it). It's certainly not even a book in the normal sense of the word. Each report has been integrated as a chapter (96 of them in total). Bye Bye Big Brother is written in Grandpa's matchless style and packed with real-life offshore case studies. You will learn how certain celebrities could have easily avoided their problems by following the advice in BBBB. You will learn from the mistakes of high profile figures such as Marc Rich, Martha Stewart and Marc Harris. You will learn even more from the cases that were NOT in the media, cases you would never otherwise hear about because they did everything right! That's the kind of exclusive information you will find in Bye Bye Big Brother. Because it is prepared by the very advisors who normally work on retainers for such people. During this project the BBBB team have uncovered and will reveal secrets they would never dare to reveal if they were based in a Big Brother "democracy". In their home countries they would risk losing their professional licences, being harrassed, or even arrested. Bye Bye Big Brother isn't only about protecting what you've got. It's also about your future and that of your loved ones. Growing your investments or business, for example. Keeping your life free from government interference and confiscatory taxation. Did you know that foreign banks are banned from advertising higher interest rates or superior financial products in countries including the USA, UK, Germany and Australia? Bye Bye Big Brother could help you legally access secure offshore investments or high yield hedge funds from large international banks. A foreign account could help you invest legally and tax-free for offshore capital gains, for example. Bye Bye Big Brother will even show you how to set up a completely new enterprise on the internet, roaming the globe electronically and raking in profits 24/7 completely anonymously, offshore and tax-free. So, lets get down to the bottom line. How much will it cost? How much is your freedom worth to you? The Best Financial Privacy and Offshore Asset Protection Deal Around! As I said, the price of the original briefs was going to be US $100 each, for delivery in e-book format. That was already an enormous saving on the hours of consultancy fees involved. That (together with the invaluable online resource section and web updates for a year) would make the whole set worth well over US $10,000. But we would prefer to give you an easy package deal and the complete picture. We want you to settle down in a relaxed environment, and at your leisure, discover the whole concept. Research shows that people don't browse and absorb e-books in the same way that they learn from a serious, quality hard-bound volume. Happy, satisfied clients are good for our business. Thus we have decided to put all the reports together in three huge, luxury bound volumes. And we have decided to offer a huge discount and a very generous money-back guarantee. Today, we are offering you the chance to acquire your own luxuriously bound copy, part of the author's proof limited edition (just 500 copies) of the three volumes of Bye Bye Big Brother. The cost is probably less than taking a group of four out for dinner and drinks at a good restaurant in your home town. The price is only US $499. Plus, we'll throw in a whole host of very valuable extra services absolutely free of charge. These alone are worth many times the price we are charging. If you don't believe us, just check on Google. You Cannot Lose with our One Year Money Back Guarantee! We understand you may be skeptical. It's human nature. But with the following deal you get to review and read all the information for yourself with no obligation. You absolutely cannot lose! Hereís the deal. Place your order today, and you can review Bye Bye Big Brother for up to ONE YEAR without any obligation. If, during that time, you decide that the information is not all we have made it out to be, return it in mint condition and we will refund your money in full. All you can possibly lose is the cost of postage for sending the books back to us. If you decide to return Bye Bye Big Brother, just be kind enough to tell us why it is not right for you. Or give us the reason why you are returning it. Nobody else makes such a generous offer: one year money back guarantee. Are we crazy? We don't think so. We do it because we know most readers will feel they have received excellent value for money. With this deal, you cannot lose a red cent! Moreover, just for giving Bye Bye Big Brother this no-obligation trial run, you still get to keep the log-in name and password for the members-only website, and all the free offers. Please order now, while stocks of this limited edition last. We expect to sell out fast. We look forward to welcoming you as a client. Sincerely, Expat World The Expat World Gang ==== OTHER EZINES & BOOKS ======================== ASIAN TIMES ONLINE Asia most trusted source for news, business,commentary and analysis from throughout Asia and our world. (www.atimes.com). ----- SURVIVAL BOOKS Go to and check it out! ----- japan-guide.com Extensive, up to date online guide on Japan living and travel related information. http://www.japan-guide.com/ ==== EW SPECIAL ================================= BYE BYE BIG BROTHER HAVEN'T ORDERED YET? SEE WHAT YOU'RE MISSING Our cover story gave you the skinny on this new 3 volume set of Big Brother busting books. Not convinced yet? Just Read on about just a FEW of the Privacy and Wealth-Creating Tactics you will learn about in BBBB. * Foreign Currency Arbitrage Programs (Invest-Loan) (Volume 2, Chapter 52) Do you know how anyone, regardless of credit history, can borrow money offshore at only 2% interest with no scheduled repayment date, then simultaneously reinvest it for a much higher return elsewhere? Of course not because the rock-solid European banks routinely making such loans are not allowed to advertise these deals in your country. Big Brother calls this "investor protection." We call it "protecting the cosy domestic banking cartel." * How to legally (but without lawyers or accountants) avoid inheritance or estate taxes completely! (Vol. 2, Chapter 53) What is this information alone worth to you? Many times the cost of Bye Bye Big Brother, we are sure. Don't let Big Brother get his hands on the fruits of your labours after your death. Make sure your descendants get 100% of what is rightfully theirs. By following the techniques outlined in Bye Bye Big Brother (especially Chapter 53, but this comes up in other contexts too, such as Private Offshore Foundations) you will be able to ensure the prosperity of future generations, or make sure the money goes to causes that YOU believe in. * Using nominee owners or straw men (references throughout the book, plus documents in Downloads section) If you've heard of this, it might sound to you illegal or dangerous. That's exactly what Big Brother wants you to think because it makes it harder for governments, ex-wives and other predators to identify, attack and sequester your assets. Fact: almost all multi-millionaires use this simple but effective privacy technique, legally better known as fiduciary or beneficial ownership. It's totally legal and doesn't require giving control over your assets. * It is more important, and much safer to control wealth, rather than to own it in your own name. Contingent fee lawyers or government agencies won't sue someone who seemingly has nothing tangible to grasp, says Grandpa. How to arrange for a comfortable lifestyle while displaying apparent poverty to the Big Brother world is covered in depth. * Hide and Secure Your Assets in a POT (references throughout the book, plus in Downloads section) A POT (Protective Offshore Trust) to hold and hide your assets is a perfectly legal, tax-neutral, offshore structure. You may never have heard about them, but even nasty old O.J. Simpson still lives well and has custody of his kids. Why? Because of just such an arrangement. His POT legally survived a devastating civil lawsuit. * Trust granting documents (for which top international law firms routinely charge up to $40,000) are included free in the members downloads section of Bye Bye Big Brother. In fact, what lawyer would, in a million years, give you free do it yourself forms and information on how to use them? But it is just part of our package deal. * Second Passports for Privacy and Profit (Volume 3, pages 1-250) * Obtaining a second citizenship and passport is an effective way of breaking free from the shackles of your government. It's like declaring independence. By obtaining a second passport you become a human multi-national, legally entitled to all those benefits that multi-national corporations play on every day. Bye Bye Big Brother includes over 250 printed pages on this subject. Volume 3 shows you how to dispense with lawyers and accountants for the most part. Free Foreign Passport Application Forms are available for download in the members' only section of this website. * How to Set Up a Completely New Enterprise on the Internet. No Capital Required! (Volume 2, Chapter 74) A unique business opportunity for the international thinker is explored in detail. You will learn how to roam the globe electronically and rake in profits anonymously, offshore, and tax-free, even while you sleep! The taxman will never bother you because this can be operated completely offshore and controlled via the internet. The rest of this section on Portable Trades and Internet Opportunities also explores different business ideas suited to an international, offshore lifestyle. We tell you how to get into these businesses with zero capital. * How to Get an Offshore Divorce and Make it Work! (Volume 2, Chapter 71) You will learn which two Caribbean island nations have the most friendly divorce laws these days. Obtain the judgement you want, when you want it, for a fraction of the legal fees you might pay in your home country. Even more importantly, we tell you how to make these offshore judgements stick in other countries. We can refer you to reputable lawyers who can arrange your divorce within a few days, often without any need to travel! * Change Your Name Legally (references throughout the book, plus in Downloads section) Putting your assets or doing business in a new name makes it much harder for them to be traced back to you. Changing your name is a simple legal process in most common law jurisdictions, including USA, Canada, Great Britain, Australia, New Zealand etc. You will learn how you can legally change your name in any of these countries even if you don’t live there and are not a citizen. That way you can completely legally be known by different names in different jurisdictions. This simple, fast and cheap technique will create a nightmare of bureaucratic confusion for anyone trying to get their hands on you or your assets. You will be able to download absolutely free the necessary forms to change your name by mail from anywhere in the world, without having to pay expensive lawyers. * Secure, Untraceable, Encrypted Communications (Volume 2, Chapters 44-47) Starting from a non-technical background, this section of Bye Bye Big Brother explains how you can simply and cheaply secure all your communications against snoops and eavesdroppers, as well as making your emails, phone calls and faxes untraceable. These essential privacy tactics are explored in detail. Plus: how to make your office portable (Volume 2, pages 337-347) We recommend two very effective internet services you can sign up with for a under a dollar a day. * Advantages of Using Small Corrupt Countries as Business Bases (Volume 3, page 141) Money talks everywhere. But corruption is cheaper in smaller countries. Learn how with a little effort you can become a big fish in a small pond and benefit from protection, tax exemption and perhaps even diplomatic status. * What to do (and What Not to Do) if you are interviewed by Government Agents (Volume 2, page 41) Government agents use an incredible and little known technique to entrap people during interviews. This was the downfall of lifestyle guru Martha Stewart. But forewarned is forearmed. We tell you one specific precaution you must take to protect yourself. There is one document you can easily carry in your wallet which will legally protect you from this technique. * Secret Safe Deposit Boxes in Europe (Volume 2, Chapter 54) Everybody has documents and possessions that are nobody else's business. We tell you the only place in Europe (probably the only place in the world) where you can legally rent a secure safe totally anonymously. It's in Austria. Also you will learn the lowdown on safe technology, why its important to have a blank key and which banks have blank keys, etc etc. Each one of the above secrets individually could earn or save you many, many times the cost of Bye Bye Big Brother. Don’t miss out on this opportunity. Go to the ordering details section of the cover story in Expat World newsletter and order immediately before the first printing of BBBB is gone.

BERLIN (Reuters) - A German Protestant youth group has put together a 2006 calendar with 12 staged photos depicting erotic scenes from the Bible, including a bare-breasted Delilah cutting Samson's hair and a nude Eve offering an apple. "There's a whole range of biblical scriptures simply bursting with eroticism," said Stefan Wiest, the 32-year-old photographer who took the titillating pictures. Anne Rohmer, 21, poses on a doorstep in garters and stockings as the prostitute Rahab, who is mentioned in both New and Old Testaments. "We wanted to represent the Bible in a different way and to interest young people," she told Reuters. "Anyway, it doesn't say anywhere in the Bible that you are forbidden to show yourself nude." Bernd Grasser, pastor of the church in Nuremberg where the calendar is being sold, was enthusiastic about the project which is explained online at www.bibelkalender.de. "It's just wonderful when teenagers commit themselves with their hair and their skin to the bible," he said. --- Man ordered into 10,000-year divorce payout AN Iranian man has been ordered by a divorce court to pay his ex-wife one gold coin a month in alimony for the next 10,000 years. Under Iran's marriage law, couples sign a pre-marital agreement where the bride must stipulate the level of compensation they can demand during the marriage or in the event of separation and divorce. In this case the Tehran woman, who was not named, had asked for $US15 million ($20.25 million) worth of gold coins, a state newspaper said. The court ruled the husband should pay her the coins in single monthly instalments, meaning his debt will stay with him for 10,333 years. --- Very, very frequent flyer.. By Wency Leung VANCOUVER, British Columbia (Reuters) - After two months of zig-zagging across Canada by plane, frequent flyer Marc Tacchi has reached his goal of accumulating one million miles of credits -- and become something of an Internet celebrity in the process. On his blog "The Great Canadian Mileage Run 2005," Tacchi reported on Wednesday that he had racked up 1,003,625 mileage points and spent 56 of the last 61 days in an airplane. "I myself need to get to bed in a prone position for some serious rest," he wrote. The 30-year-old embarked on his venture using Air Canada's North America Unlimited Pass -- a C$7,000 ticket that allowed passengers limitless travel within the continent between October 1 and November 30. Frequent fliers programs, like Air Canada's Aeroplan, are designed to promote customer loyalty by allowing people to upgrade to better seats or book free flights in the future "I just sort of moved it to a new level," Tacchi joked in an interview last week at the Vancouver International Airport before boarding another airplane. A typical day would start with a 10 a.m. flight to Victoria, British Columbia, about 70 km (45 miles) from Vancouver. He would fly back and fourth between the two cities about six times and then catch an overnight flight 4,300 km (2,700 miles) to Toronto. In Toronto, he would immediately board a return flight. Since he began documenting his travels on the Internet, Tacchi has garnered the attention of international media, and even has agents in Los Angeles seeking to sell his story. "People were calling my girlfriend's boss at work, saying 'Hey, did you hear about that guy'," Tacchi said. "I don't even know how it all became real." By reaching the one million mile goal, Tacchi gets the equivalent of about 10 round-trip business class flights from Canada to Australia, which he has estimated would normally cost about C$70,000. He plans to redeem his travel points to take his family to Miami at Christmas, then maybe go to Hong Kong or Thailand. Tacchi works as a contract pilot. Once a week, he flies a Boeing 747 cargo plane to Europe or Asia. --- Oxymoron: initial retirement ----- Researchers have discovered that chocolate produces some of the same reactions in the brain as marijuana...The researchers also discovered other similarities between the two, but can't remember what they are. -- Matt Lauer on NBC's Today show, August 22 ----- What do you call a boomerang that doesn't come back? A stick. ----- I've never understood why women love cats. Cats are independent, they don't listen, they don't come in when you call, they like to stay out all night, come home and expect to be fed and stroked, then want to be left alone and sleep. In other words, every quality that women hate in a man, they love in a cat. ----- For those of you who watch what you eat... Here's the final word on nutrition and health. It's a relief to know the truth after all those conflicting medical studies. 1. The Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans. 2. The Mexicans eat a lot of fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans. 3. The Japanese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans 4. The Italians drink excessive amounts of red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans. 5. The Germans drink a lot of beers and eat lots of sausages and fats and suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans. CONCLUSION: Eat and drink what you like. Speaking English is apparently what kills you. ----- A sailor and a marine are taking a piss at a public restroom. The marine finishes first and washes his hands. The sailor just walks to the exit. So the marine says to him: hey, in the marines they teach us to wash our hands after taking a piss. The sailor says: yeah well, in the navy they teach us to not piss on our hands. ==== THE RESOURCE TIP ============================ MetaProducts Download Express MetaProducts Download Express is a Windows 95/98/NT/2000/ME/XP/2003 program that allows you to download individual files from the Web and FTP sites at the maximum possible speed.
