LEADERS OF CARIBBEAN STATES WITH CBI PROBLEMS RUSH TO REASSURE THEIR PANICKED CITIZENRY AFTER NEWS OF BLOCKING OF ENTRY TO U.S. LEAK IN THE PRESS

If you are reading the Caribbean press, you may have seen today that the leaders of SAINT KITTS & NEVIS, SAINT LUCIA and the COMMONWEALTH OF DOMINICA are hastening to tell their anxious citizens that they haven't received any official notice from the United States, about their country's upcoming ban on their citizens receiving visas to enter the United States, after new leakee that their countries are on the draft list. the three East Caribbean states, whose Citizenship by Investment economic passport programs are all accused of fraud, money laundering and corruption, all are quite busy declaring that their programs have effective due diligence, and that their citizens should not be affected for those reasons. In truth and in fact, their due diligence programs are abysmal, dysfunctional, corrupt, and intentionally flawed, resulting in the distribution of passports to criminals, sanctions evaders, terrorist financiers, and intelligence agents from countries hostile to the United States.

Anyone following the systemic problems the Caribbean CBI jurisdictions knew that this day would come; the people of the East Caribbean are about to pay the price for allowing rampant corruption by their greedy government officials, and it will be painful for them to lose the ability to obtain a visa to visit friends and family in the US, shop here, and conduct business. There have been more than enough warnings given during the past five years, which they have chosen to disregard. They are about to see what the consequences are of their inaction.

The US has deemed the problem a National Security threat, after seeing arrests of Chinese nationals with CBI passports in the United States, for white collar crimes, economic espionage, and spying for the PRC. The new American administration has decided to put a stop to it. The official Banned Countries List is expected to be released soon, as early as Thursday, and it may contain additional countries; both Grenada and Malta could be included.
