Brother, they push their poison one way or the other. Appears like Agenda 21 in progress.

One has to wonder about the government's priorities. With these obvious failures they should drag the government people out on the ears.
People on the volcano-stricken island of St. Vincent will be evacuated to certain neighboring islands via cruise ships only if they've been vaccinated against COVID-19, the nation's prime minister said.
Cruise ships have been dispatched to the island that is being partially evacuated after the 4,000-foot high volcano La Soufrière erupted on Friday.
But people have to be vaccinated before they board the cruise ship, Ralph Gonsalves, the prime minister of St. Vincent and the Grenadines, said at a press conference the day after the eruption.
More than 16,000 people are being evacuated from the "red zones" — the parts of the island in most danger. This map at right shows the danger zones on the island.
Some are due to be temporarily housed in the neighboring islands of St. Lucia, Grenada, Barbados, and Antigua.
But most of the islands would require vaccination before they take anybody in.
Gonsalves has also said some people don't want to evacuate. This could be because of a fear of vaccination, which may in turn prevent them from receiving other government help after the eruption.
"People are very scared of the vaccine and they opt out of coming to a shelter because eventually they would have to adhere to the protocol," the opposition politician Shevern John said, according to Reuters.
