Hedge fund managers are buying up remote ranches and land in places like New Zealand to flee to in event of wide-spread civil unrest

Quote
Super rich hedge fund managers are buying 'secret boltholes' where they can hideout in the event of civil uprising against growing inequality, it has been claimed.

Nervous financiers from across the globe have begun purchasing landing strips, homes and land in areas such as New Zealand so they can flee should people rise up.

With growing inequality and riots such as those in London in 2011 and in Ferguson and other parts of the USA last year, many financial leaders fear they could become targets for public fury.

Robert Johnson, president of the Institute of New Economic Thinking, told people at the World Economic Forum in Davos that many hedge fund managers were already planning their escapes.

He said: “I know hedge fund managers all over the world who are buying airstrips and farms in places like New Zealand because they think they need a getaway."

If people really wanted to get them they could steal some boats and land on new Zealand to hunt them down. I think space is a better idea.

While it isn't surprising that these money magicians would get the lion's share of the blame as things continue to decline for the masses but I also remember reading something not too long ago about these same people buying submarines and just using those as chill spots as they navigate to where they want to be. Doesn't seem as tho space is a practical getaway method yet. Wink

if they are worried about riots and rising crime they should stop flooding our countries with black immigrants

Be radical, have principles, be absolute, be that which the bourgeoisie calls an extremist: give yourself without counting or calculating, don't accept what they call ‘the reality of life' and act in such a way that you won't be accepted by that kind of ‘life', never abandon the principle of struggle.

I just don get the greed. Why live in fear for the rest of your life with billions on your bank account, instead of living in a stable rich happy society with 100 -500 million in wealth? In either case you will have more than enough money for you to live very good lives.
