The reasons why international travel is off-limits and shameful have nothing to do with medical facts
We recently left the country for the first time since the pandemic began. I could say that we’d always wanted to go to Iceland, but the truth is, we’d wanted to go to Iceland ever since we heard how sanely they handle visitors. Even at the height of the pandemic in 2020, they didn’t require COVID tests for children. They still don’t.
Iceland is the world’s most vaccinated nation, with 86 percent of the country having gotten the jab. A recent ‘spike’ (they peaked at 170 cases per day in mid-August) led to an indoor mask mandate, but it doesn’t apply to kids. The mandate is also very loosely enforced. There are no Karens shrieking at people to mask up in shops, and I saw many unmasked Icelanders indoors. The only people masking outdoors in Iceland, and the only people masking their children anywhere in Iceland, were Americans.
My kids didn’t need a COVID test to get into Iceland, but they did need one to return to the US. And though Iceland has always exempted kids from masking, America demands masks even for toddlers. We are in a moment of profound fear in the US. The pandemic has broken something in us that has been cracking for some time. The way we look at travel, especially travel abroad, shows we are losing our minds.

Either FAITH or FEAR.
We have been a nation of FAITH because we have trusted the Lord God Almighty and that trust carries blessing with it (Jer. 17:7-8).
However, gradually that trust in the Lord has turned into trusting in man and his government and that trust carries a curse with it (Jer. 17:5-6).
Trusting in man brings FEAR. Trusting in the Lord brings FEARLESS FAITH.
America, turn from man and embrace your Lord!
Back in the 1990s I went to Grand Bahama Island on a vacation. The difference in the airports is striking. The US airports were full of constant warnings and there was that horrible CNN-airport channel everywhere spreading fear and bad news. All in your face 24/7. In the Bahamas there was one old guy sweeping up in the airport. No TVs, no nothing.
Then there were the lemon-faced bureaucrats at the US customs counter in the Bahamas but that’s everywhere you travel. They hire only rude @$$holes at customs.
The US population is kept in a state of constant upset by media and govt. You don’t notice it until you travel. You think it’s normal life.
The only thing we have to fear....
Everything is fine.
We now have so called Vaccines that are 67% effective against a Virus that is 99.97% Survivable.
It’s obviously time to declare Martial Law. #;^)
BTW - If you just walk across our Southern Border rather than fly into our Airports you are obviously Immune from the Kung Flu. The same goes if you attend the Emmys, the Met Gala or Obama’s Birthday Party.
this is all by design...
people in our country are succumbed by fear and too busy arguing about the kung flu and the fauxcines to care and put up a fight while our country is being taken over by communists...
we’re being played...
This fear is being translated into “psychological corrals”, or defined limitations on citizens rights and movement. Simply the fact that the corrupt ruling elite has been successful in masking, social distancing, and lock downs... means they have been successful in their overall agenda, with the first phase.
This has nothing to do with medicine of public safety. The hoops we have been made to jump through, are examples of what is possible. Now, they get creative. Particularly if they can universally impose the “Vaxport” upon us all.
This “document” or thing, will ultimately be necessary to do anything at all in this country, from buying groceries to voting. Once firmly and irrevocably in place, the populous will be controlled, corralled, and branded. A number, a chip, or just an account, will follow us all, everywhere, for our entire lives. We will be “branded”, and we will “like it”
Ah, but Americans are a rebellious bunch, we will resist! Well, if that is what you think, you should know that the time to be rebellious, is now... if we wait, we will simply be pretending, and have to live lives underground. And, some time in the future, we will wish we had actually resisted, as it will then be way too late. I think most everyone senses this, if not having completely concluded that this is what is happening.
As a Christian there is no doubt a “Spirit of Fear” has been released on this world and the majority of people have bought it hook, line and sinker
Because Covid is a LIE, it is about CONTROL, it is the FLU
PERIOD!
You think it’s normal life.
*******************
We also live in a veritable sea of lies, distortions and deceptions. We are literally immersed in it 24X7, yet it seems normal because it is so ubiquitous.
We are also becoming a neurotic nation. We fret and fuss over everything, no matter how small it is. We are in a constant state of agitation.
The country is so corrupt, hyper sensitive and intensely materialistic its unlikely we’ll ever return to any semblance of normality.
That is what human culture is and always has been.
***************
Perhaps true, but mass media didn’t always exist. We are bombarded with lies relentlessly by every form of media imaginable. It never lets up. Truth and objectivity stand no chance of being heard anymore. They get run over in the stampede of lies.
Imagine you lived in ancient Egypt—or ancient Rome?
You think the Pharaoh or the Emperor are going to tell you the truth about anything? Seriously?
The mass media is owned by a few wealthy elites—same basic thing....
Those who live in fear of this covid need to get back to believing the Lord God is watching over you and if you get sick, believe Heaven is there.
The only thing to fear is a government that instills fear in to its people.
The issue is FREE States and FEAR States!
It is healthy when government fears its citizens.
It is unhealthy when subjects fear the government.
Yes.
“By His Stripes you WERE healed.” 1 Peter 2:24.
What the hell happened to the Americans?
Imagine you lived in ancient Egypt—or ancient Rome?
You think the Pharaoh or the Emperor are going to tell you the truth about anything? Seriously?

***************
Its not a matter of WHO the liars and propagandists are — the world has always been full of them. The point I was making is that the world today is different because we are constantly bombarded with non-stop lying every hour of every day.
Due to the relatively recent advent of electronic media we are immersed in a sea of lies and manipulative dissembling. The Pharaoh and the Emperors didn’t have access to the slick and extremely powerful media that today’s manipulators do.
So its not the same thing; its a whole new and far more sophisticated ballgame now. And its not just played by the powerful few. Now the political elites have many layers of underlings who distribute and reinforce the desired messages for them.
