A Dangerous Hell-hole country is luring Americans with a few posh resorts. Tourists are likely forewarned not to leave the resort property if they care to live very long.
Did they send the same agents that investigated Benghazi and Las Vegas?
Low price is the lure. Death is the hook.
I believe it’s homemade moonshine.
Don’t we have palm trees and alcohol in Florida?
The night after Ortiz was shot, Boston radio talk-host Dan Rhea did a segment on “Does what happened to David Ortiz make you less likely to vacation in the Dominican Republic?”
I didn’t spend a long time listening, but the first caller I heard was a nurse who had gone as part of a relief mission to Haiti. They set up in DR just across the border from Haiti, and children were brought to them for treatment. Her description of the DR was enough to make your skin crawl. She asserted she would never consider the DR for a vacation. The next caller was a former Marine Embassy guard. Even more negative.
You would have to be out of your mind to vacation there.
So far, all of these deaths have happened at just two hotels, both owned by a Spanish family-run hotel group. There’s some suspicion that it’s “industrial sabotage” by someone with a grudge against the company.
At the moment, I read that investigators seem to be leaning towards the theory that an insecticide was used to poison the drinks. Two other guests were sickened by some chemical in the room (in the AC?) and it was found that they had organophosphate poisoning.
I wonder how long this has been going on? The Dominican authorities have not been very helpful on this.
Time to block the four bridges in and out of Staten Island!!
Armed guards at each bridge.
Shoot to kill if anyone enters!!
We’ll get our food supply from the Fresh Kills fishing area.
And then we’ll all be dead in a week :)
Fox News has that Griff Jenkins (sic?) down there on the story. He asked the Presidente about the deaths. No response. he then asked a wealthy tourism investor, and he said the people ate too much and rank too much. Blamed the victims.

FBI is a criminal enterprise.

My sister was in the Air Force. She said she had been places where the stuff she was carrying represented a year’s income to the natives. Her take was, I don’t want to be anyplace where what I have on me is that our of proportion to the income of the people around me.
Dominican Republic bump for later.....
?Fentanyl? Mixed in with the Minibar goodies. Plastic soda and Airline sized Alcohol bottles, use a Hypodermic Needle to introduce it. At the top of the bottles using the air space so that no leaks appear.
The cover up begins
I wonder if any non-Americans died during that time due to mysterious causes?
I looked at a table of tourism to the Dominican Republic by country in 2017, and the USA and Canada are at
United States 2,073,963
Canada 827,721
Germany 265,709
Russia 245,346
France 221,492
Argentina
Spain 177,993
United Kingdom 177,534
This sounds like someone with an axe to grind against Americans. If it were just against white people or tourists, you would expect at least someone from one of the other countries to be affected. But it looks like all Americans in the article that I could see.
Never touch anything in a mini-bar in a hotel room.
The best thing that can happen if you do is that you will be badly ripped off.
Will they report to Frau Mueller and inform us that President Trump might be/was responsible for these deaths.
However, they could not find any evidence showing that he was responsible.
Well, I guess we’ll never get to the bottom of THAT...
Ban travel to there and they quickly find the bad guy.
My gut has always made me say no to travel anywhere in the Caribbean islands.
[On a side note: I just goggled the word Caribbean (checking my spelling) and guess what the top links that came up were? They were a set of travel suggestions and the first two were to ......................................... Cuba!!! No surprise, given that was Goggle.]
Bahia ia one of my favorites...been there many times...but haven’t been there in 10 years or so.
