Travel Advisories for Travel to the US

Countries that have issued recent travel advisories for travel to the US include: Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, Denmark, Belgium, Finland, France, Ireland, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Venezuela and China.

Reasons for travel advisories: Detention: Non-US Citizens have been handcuffed and put in detention centers over documentation that is considered inadequate. Searching Phones: US Citizens born in foreign countries have had their phones searched in an effort to find information on friends and relatives. Also, there are an alarming number of cases where entry is denied based on phone searches that find comments critical of Trump and his administration. LGBTQ: Transgender travellers have experienced increased scrutiny and have been denied entry for passports from countries that don’t clearly identify gender as male or female.

The Dictator's Playbook - by travel expert Rick Steves

1. Establish a Supreme Leader who demands public rituals of loyalty, requiring praise and punishing disrespect.

2. Simple solutions to complex problems. I will end this war in one day. No one has ended more wars than me.

3. Cripple society. Go after the unions, non-profits, watchdogs. Label protest groups as enemies of the state. Pastors in the streets are domestic terrorists.

4. Control the bureaucracy. Purge the deep state. Fire career experts and military generals. Replace them with loyalist ideologues.

5. Create a class of scapegoats and then dehumanize them, so that no one cares when they disappear. (Jews, immigrants, vermin, little more than animals)

6. Use fear to create a permanent emergency that justifies high levels of detention and surveillance. (Gestapo, ICE).

7. Manufacture a law and order crisis in order to provoke unrest and then use that as an excuse for a crackdown. (Stasi, Minneapolis).

8. Attack and discredit elections. Unless I win, elections are rigged.

9. Shut down the serious press, control the media (Fox - Murchoch, X - Musk, Truth Social - Trump, Facebook - Zuckerberg, TikTok - Oracle. Target broadcast journalism (PBS, 60 Minutes). Ensure the news is controlled.

10. Take advantage of a tragedy or an emergency to consolidate power. Suspend voting rights. (Reichstag, Enabling Act, Insurrection Act)

11. Seek retribution, lock up political opponents. (Navalny, Comey, Chaney, Schiff, L James, Kinzinger, Bolton ...)

12. Weaponize the Department of Justice to protect allies and punish enemies. (Bondi)

13. Build a private para-military force wearing masks but not uniforms that is loyal to the Supreme leader and not to the constitution. (ICE is the best funded police force in the USA.)

14. Target education and history. Attack universities and professors.

15. Intimidation through publicity stunts - hellish prisons (concentration camps), innocent victims of ICE videoed in the streets being tear gassed and dragged into the snow half clothed. These are intentional acts to intimidate and warn everyone who doesn't support the Supreme leader.
