US STATE DEPARTMENT ISSUES TRAVEL ADVISORY FOR THE BAHAMAS

U.S. ISSUES TRAVEL ADVISORY FOR THE BAHAMAS

By: Derek Varsalona

Thinking of going on a honey moon or a nice get away to The Bahamas this year.  Better think again if you’re an American citizen.   The US Embassy in Nassau, The Bahamas issued a travel advisory asking Americans not to travel to the Bahamas.  They say it is too dangerous and this time it is not the sharks that are eating people.  This time it is the citizens that are attacking American citizens and stealing their belongings. 

The State Department said to exercise extreme caution when going to The Bahamas.  Now the tiny island nation is going to crash economically due to the fact that American dollars will not be supported on the island.  I would not be surprised if their is a terrorism on the island.  It might seem far fetched but when you are draining a tiny nations spheres of influence in this sense tourism dollars people will take drastic measures in order to survive. 

I was right that terrorism is occurring.  Their is gang violence and many murders occurring on the island.  So in my book that constitutes terrorism.  Whether it is Bahamanian state sponsored terrorism is another question that needs to be answered?  The fact of the matter is the socialist are going to say that socialism will work here since the people are not getting their fair share of the tourism dollars.  Does that mean The Bahamas is going to turn to a socialist country?  I would not be surprised.  To date, at least 18 murders have occurred on the island this year and it is only the beginning of the year.   Murders are occurring at all hours of the day, even in broad daylight so even in the sun you are not safe let alone the night.  I also attribute that to the warm weather.  People normally do not kill when it is too cold out.  But where it is always hot a lot of murders occurs.

I am not saying that you should not go to The Bahamas. That is your personal freedom to do so.  I am saying use caution when traveling to The Bahamas.  As always comments accepted.
