Do you want to escape the control over your life and property now held by modern Big

Brother government? The PT concept could have been called Individual Sovereignty,

because PT's look after themselves. We do not want or need authorities to dominate every

aspect of our existence from cradle to grave. The PT concept is one way to break free. It is

a coherent philosophy, a plan for a stress free, healthy, prosperous life not limited by government

interference, the threat of nuclear war, the reality of food and water contamination, litigation,

domestic conflicts, taxation, persecution or harassment. Whether your problem is an unacceptable

 child-custody decree or an unwarranted accusation by some Gestapo-style government agency,

PT offers escape. It is a way out of any negative situation created and imposed upon you by any

government. Many individuals choose to vent their frustrations with acts of violence. The

PT merely avoids conflict by refusing to play where the rules are unfair to him.

What Does PT Stand For?

PT stands for many things, Perpetual Traveler or Permanent Tourist, for instance.

However, a PT need not travel all of the time, nor any of the time for that matter. A PT

merely arranges his or her paperwork in such a way that all governments consider him a

tourist, a person who is just Passing Through. In the eyes of government officials, the PT

is merely on a temporary sojourn or vacation. The advantage is that by being seen as a

person who is only Parked Temporarily, the PT is not subjected to taxes, military service,

lawsuits or persecution for partaking in innocent, but forbidden pleasures. Unlike most

citizens or subjects, the PT will not be persecuted for his beliefs or lack of them.

PT is a concept, a way of life, a way of perceiving the universe and your place in it. One

can be a full-time dedicated PT or a part-time PT. PT is elegant, simple and requires no

accountants, attorneys, offshore corporations nor other complex arrangements. It's the

Perfect Thing.

The Threat Called Government

Governments, under the guise of protecting us, have intruded into every area of life,

taking the largest part of our earnings in taxes and then rewarding us with little aside from

restrictions and harassment. All modern governments these days have virtually eliminated

individual privacy and continue to increase limitations on freedom of choice in many areas

of human activity. Each country has its own unique restrictions. Even western

democracies are growing increasingly fond of keeping their citizenry on very short leashes,

if not completely shackled. The constitutions of most nations give lip-service to the absolute

freedom to travel, but in practice every government severely limits travel with passport, visa

and other requirements. By imposing restrictions on foreigners, most nations invite tit-for-tat

measures. Personal finances, currency controls, domestic situations and job requirements

make the freedom to go anywhere at anytime just a dream for most people. The properly

equipped PT operates outside the usual rules, gaining perfect mobility and a full slate of

human rights. PT is the logical and natural path to freedom from proletarian dictators,

ambitious politicians, emperors, occupying armies, ruling classes and the tyranny of the

majority. Indeed, freedom from the arbitrary whims of sometimes deranged politicians and

the destructive powers of rampant bureaucracy is the essence of PT. PT's, People of Talent,

can, at a few strokes of the pen, be truly free of Big Brother. Since oppressors and exploiters

in the modern world exercise control with paperwork and computers, one of your first and

prime objectives is to get off all computer lists and registers of any kind. This is easy to

accomplish. PT's disappear from the voter lists, then vanish from the roster of property

owners or taxpayers. Your present government will no longer be interested in you if they

think you have left the jurisdiction and have ceased to be a citizen or subject. It is the goal

of the PT to achieve this invisibility by taking on a new nationality and acquiring an

offshore address. This arrangement opens up all sorts of previously unknown possibilities

for the PT. For instance, US banks are not permitted to encourage US customers to keep

accounts in foreign currencies. Foreign banks are not permitted to advertise such accounts

in the US. Regulated financial institutions are forbidden to advertise the fact that when

the dollar is devalued, all American bank accounts, stocks and real property decline in

relative value. A dollar decline of 50 per cent against most other currencies occurred

between 1985 and 1987. The vast number of US citizens were kept in the dark about

the simple procedure for avoiding this predictable loss. They could have made a sure

100 per cent on their money in one year by switching into yen, Swiss francs or German marks.

Furthermore, PT freedom extends much further than monetary concerns. Neither the PT

nor his family need be inconvenienced by government instigated wars or military service

that they would rather avoid. The flexibility and mobility inherent in being a PT means that

one will never be an unwilling draftee, victim, jailbird, concentration camp inmate,

casualty, refugee or displaced person. PT's choose their own fights and surroundings.

They are not swept along in torrents caused by forces beyond their control.

You can rest assured that with the PT theory, you will be able to remain comfortably

beyond the reach of Big Brother's ever extending grasp. It is impossible for any

government to attack or wipe out PT's because we are an amorphous group without

consistent behavior patterns. From the point of view of any government official, we

appear to be the most desirable kind of tourist, respectful of local laws and authority, low

profile and prosperous. PT's cannot be identified, classified or isolated from the general

run of tourists. Thus, unlike some publicity seeking individualists or tax rebels, a PT

courts no danger and invites no confrontations. As PT's, only restrictions imposed by

ourselves can keep us from experiencing the wonders of the world. The PT can and

will drive, fly or sail across international frontiers when and where he wants, alone or

with anyone he chooses. PT's move freely without exit permits or visas. As PT's we

should be mentally, financially and physically prepared to leave anywhere we happen

to be and go to the other end of the earth at the first whiff of danger or just in search of

greener pastures. The PT is able to move fast and decisively, to disappear and resurface

anywhere, anytime.
