But there’s no plan in place for how this will be done, says GAO report. Earth Island Journal , CHARLES PEKOW, December 29, 2020 The Cold War never erupted into the nuclear nightmare that the world feared for decades.

An Australian charity is calling on international governments to do more to help 400,000 seafarers, including Pacific Islanders who are stranded because of border closures and COVID-19 restrictions.
Reverend Garry Dodd of the Seafarers Mission to Australia said the festive season has been tough as many of those stranded still don t know when they ll return home, to loved ones.
International border closures mean that seafarers including many from the Pacific have been at sea for well beyond their 10-month contract.
Reverend Dodd said governments have the power to ease the suffering faced by seafarers. It s not impossible but it is hard and its costly. If there was political will there wouldn t be 400,000 seafarers who are currently stranded, he said.

COVID-19 actions are meant to eliminate the middle class
The threat of COVID-19 has been used as an excuse for the ever-increasing imposition of mass surveillance, and tyrannical regulations upon the human race: lockdowns, curfews, checkpoints, mask mandates, forced quarantines, contact tracing, snitch hotlines, social distancing, COVID passports, DNA altering vaccines, etc.
None of this is compatible with freedom, nor is it about keeping us safe. Itâs all about power, control, greed, the elimination of ânon-essentialâ businesses and ultimately, the eradication of the middle class.

The travel world has been on a roller coaster in 2020. Even as vaccination campaigns started in the United States and Europe, countries slammed shut their borders to visitors from the United Kingdom, because of a new strain of the coronavirus. And while the number of people flying in the United States is again on the rise topping 1 million a day on the weekend before Christmas a patchwork of quarantine and testing regulations remains in place in many parts of the country.
