DON'T BELIEVE THE DISTRACTIONS; ANTIGUANS LOST THEIR AMERICAN VISA PRIVILEGES SOLELY BECAUSE OF THE NATIONAL SECURITY THREATS POSED TO THE UNITED STATES BY THE ROGUE CIP PROGRAM, NOT CHINA ISSUES

The Purveyor of Disinformation

We sincerely hope that Antiguans completely understand the disinformation being handed out by their country's Prime Minister, GASTON BROWNE, concerning precisely why they can no longer secure those prized multiple entry visas to visit the United States. It is the National Security threats America has recognized exist due solely to the issuance of CIP passports to unqualified individuals from high risk countries that is the problem, and not Antigua's affiliation with China, as Browne recently alleged on his radio program; This is nonsense.

Also, do not be taken in by the hints the government has repeatedly dropped, to the effect that it is fully engaged in concrete negotiations with the U.S. to remove the Draconian visa restrictions; in truth and and in fact, this is nothing more than a pipe dream created by Brown to deceive and lead on his constituents, so that they will start waiting patiently for a favorable result, which such disinformation implies will occur sometime in the indefinite future.

It is humbly suggested that Antiguans accept the American visa reality, and make alternative plans for holiday or business travel, to Europe, while you still can, for there is no guarantee that your Prime Minister's games that he is attempting to play with the European Commission will not result in the imposition of visa restrictions to the EU. It may come down to a future for Antiguans where they are restricted to visa-free travel only amongst the other states of the Eastern Caribbean, given the erratic behavior of the current Antiguan government, which they handily elected not so long ago; face facts, Antiguans.
