Glenn Beck recently returned from vacationing in Europe, and while there, his travel agent told him some disturbing news.

“You know the United Nations’ sustainable goals are to make sure we’re not traveling any more,” he told Glenn.

“You should see Europe now while you can.”

While this certainly sounds outlandish and far-fetched, the evidence overwhelmingly suggests that travel will indeed be a thing of the past before long.

Glenn explains the unfortunate situation that’s coming for travel-lovers across the globe.

There’s official documentation showing that in Europe, “air travel … [will be] diminished until they get to zero … there will be no travel unless it is mass travel on trains – easier for Europe; impossible for the United States,” he explains.

They’re already “closing or preparing to close all airports [in the UK] except for Heathrow and Glasgow.”

These are public airports, mind you.

Glenn is certain “the private airports will be open for the personal jets of the elite.”

But this movement isn’t isolated to Europe. There are already steps being taken in the United States to disparage travel.

An article from the New Yorker just came out, and it unabashedly villainizes traveling. Titled, “The Case Against Travel,” the article opens with:

What is the most uninformative statement that people are inclined to make? My nominee would be ‘I love to travel.’ This tells you very little about a person, because nearly everyone likes to travel; and yet people say it, because, for some reason, they pride themselves both on having traveled and on the fact that they look forward to doing so.

In other words, traveling “shows that you’re ignorant, you’re … out of the cool kids’ club,” Beck says.

The notion that travel is synonymous with “[having] a destructive Boomer mentality” is soon to catch fire here in the States, according to Glenn’s travel agent.

“With ESG metrics in place, traveling will be considered harmful and sinful, and in the age of central bank digital currency, [travel will be] penalized in many cases if the algorithm believes that you have traveled too much.”

Did you get that?

The far left intends to penalize people who travel too much.

But it’s all in the name of protecting the fragile environment, right?

Wrong.

“Of course none of this has to do with preserving the environment,” Glenn’s agent writes. “It has everything to do with keeping you in your 15-minute city and in your affinity-based autonomous zones.”

“The people who are behind all of this,” Glenn explains, “are the global elites.” They have “a well thought-out plan” that will ultimately result in us all getting back “on the road to serfdom.”
