On October 12, the EU and Great Britain initiate their new Entry/Exit System. All travelers from non-EU countries will need to provide biometric data, including facial scans and fingerprints, along with the normal passports. They state that your data will be retained for THREE YEARS, but we can guess that the data will really be retained forever.
In case you are not aware, this is the first step down the road of the Digital ID system, which next steps are CBDC (Central Bank Digital Currency), smart homes and electric meters, ending in a Communist Chinese-like Social Credit regime. This allows totalitarian governments to control 100% of your life.
That means your bank accounts can be frozen or drained; permission to travel can be limited, and a “carbon allowance” be initiated, meaning you can be limited in how or whether you can heat and cool your home.
Access to the internet can be closed or limited, and your online behavior monitored 24/7 (which is already happening in England, where citizens are arrested and jailed over Facebook posts).

This is a great description.
So you should consider lopping Europe and Great Britain off your bucket list, if you want to maintain your American liberty. We have.
I would rather go to any non-EU country, anyway. You couldn’t pay me enough to go willingly under the jurisdiction of those wackos.
That was me, sorry. This site acts weird for my laptop, for some reason.
My apologies! We are vacationing in the US until further notice too. We have signed up for next year’s Mark Steyn cruise in the Northeast. Going to the Carolinas for a Hillsdale function in October. Neither of us has been before. Cheers!
Sounds like fun. I blame WordPress for the weirdness, not bloggers who use it.
