Just another in the legion of examples in today's world of the massive grab for CONTROL and CENTRALIZATION OF POWER by the very small group of people (thousands globally) who believe themselves capable of and responsible for running the world. We will travel or work or eat when they say we can and in the way they say we can, or we will not do it at all. They are quite explicit about it at this point.

DO NOT COMPLY. This is the only way out. More and more people are catching on, and the scales will tip eventually. When they do, there will be chaos. But that chaos is the price of individual sovereignty, which is the only legitimate sovereignty in the universe. The "world controllers" always fail, but the damage they do in the meantime is brutal, every single time.
