@JAMAICAwithIRIE Can the Government of Jamaica sue the US media outlets on the grounds of liable, based on the grounds that those media outlets are disseminating misinformation about the country❓
America,can fool some people some times,but they can’t fool all the people all of the time.The State Department is out of touch with reality or they forgot that there is someone by the name of Irena.Thank you for all that you do for Jamaica.
The United States needs to have travel advisory out for foreign visitors coming here to the USA,mass shootings,road rage’s plus thousands of other crimes which makes it so much worse than Jamaica 🇯🇲
@@Narcissist-d6g I doubt America even know where Trinidad is, they seem to think the Caribbean is Jamaica or the Bahamas, or really anywhere that is majority black and is a competition to their tourism sector.
Which is ridiculous when Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands are the murder capital of the Caribbean. Why is there no advisory there? Oh, I forgot they're US territories
This is excellent journalism and I truly appreciate the enthusiasm and grace in exposing this disinformation campaign. I want to honeymoon here and you’ve bought me much reassurance is choosing JA. Sincerely, a truth-starved Black American.
Thank you for this video I as a Jamaican living in America, appreciate the truth coming out of Jamaica from someone who moved to Jamaica from another country. I really appreciate the honesty. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
We hung out at the resort, went on a few tours, walked to a grocery store a few times, walked around montego bay. We actually got a little suckered into an impromptu tour where a local guy showed us around Montego Bay but he was super nice and knowledgable, and gave us a great tour around town. We ended up handing him some money and thanking him for his time and he recommended a great place for lunch (which was fantastic). But that's a thing to watch out for I guess. Things we avoided were: unknown taxis (we only got taxis through the resort), randos outside the resort asking if we were looking for drugs to buy (no thanks we're good). Just general travel safety stuff you'd do anywhere.
I feel much safer in Jamaica than anywhere in the USA. I was in Jamaica for a week and was relieved to be in a place where mass murders do not happen on a almost daily basis. USA is one of the most dangerous countries on earth where you do not know if you will be gunned down going to the supermarket or the mall.
Good evening Irina. Love your channel and especially the love you have for Jamaica. I am Jamaican but not living in Jamaica. I would really love for you to do a vlog on some of the developments taking place in Jamaica. I don't think the people living in Jamaica understand, know or appreciate the developments taking place in Jamaica. I watched several volgers on UA-cam so I know some of the developments that are happening and now wishing that I was younger. I would most certainly return home and do my part to help with the developments. Blessings and continue to speak out for Jamaica
I follow 3 different resort fan pages on Facebook. I just shared this to each of them. I have always found the advisory coming from the US laughable . As a Canadian I can honestly say I would be much more concerned traveling to the US then Jamaica. I have NEVER heard about the Jamaican children having shooter drills. ✌️💕
I was about to mention that in addition to contacting US state dept, also helpful to reference this channel and video anywhere on social media where there is discussion of the advisory.
@@marcys6397 it has been established that there is greater safety for visitors of all stripes than for the majority of residents who live their full time, especially when visitors spend most of their trip at resorts.
I believe the main reason may be behind Jamaica refusing the latest Ambassador to Jamaica and so they wanted to punish Jamaica. They did the same thing during the 1970s when Jimmy Carter was President. They hated Michael Manley and his "socialist" policies, so they blacklisted Jamaica. Fortunately, many tourists from other parts of the world came to Jamaica and the Americans lost out on a great vacation in Jamaica. Today many on social media have been debunking the Advisory and many vacationers are listening to them and not the American News Media. Great Vlog.
I’m American and from what I’ve seen from Jamaican UA-camrs I’m subscribed to and friends who own property and frequent Jamaica, it’s undergoing great economic transformation and development. Although I haven’t visited since 2009, I thought these travel “warnings” were a bit fishy from the beginning. I’m glad I’ve come across your video…and I have certainly shared. I’m at a loss for words but unfortunately, I’m not surprised 😞 I’m sorry you guys have to even make a video like this at all. I was supposed to come again in 2020…but making plans to come again soon. It’s all ❤over here… BIG UP Jamaica 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Like Bob would say... they can fool some people sometimes, but they can't fool all the people all the time. Now we see the light, stand up for your right! ... Thanks, Irie, for this great coverage to open people's eyes.
Irena, you're the best at what you do.Your videos are thoroughly researched and eloquently delivered.Thank you for the facts on America geopolitical BS.
Jamaica and several African countries. Because they object to u s forcing there l g b t q policies decide to put these countries on that rating because there's no proof
So there was a spike in crime in 2017, the last time I had traveled to Ja. Miraculously, that was the visit that I traveled MOST off the beaten path than I ever had and all I received was the Jamaican people I was spending my time with was spending their time making sure I was good in every situation. Even when I fainted in a shanty bar up the mountains outside of Ochi and opened my eyes to a dozen patrons waving me with books as a fan and making sure I would be ok.
Awesome. These are the stories that people don't know about. I am Jamaican amd my wife is American (White). When we travel to Jamaica (our 5th coming up in April since 2016), she loves going to the Local Joints.. even outside of the Cities in Rural areas...Country (Rural) Bars are her favorite (mine too)...and everywhere we stop, the People are so AMAZING and FRIENDLY (of course I knew that growing up there). But so Cool to see and experience it from the "other side".
I've dreamed about going to Jar. It's coming true next month. I never even consider crime rates when travelling. If you do? You'd never go outside your house.
Irena the big media houses in jamaica need to create a special report slot at their prime time to let you explain these lies and and misinformation away,thanks for what you do irie
Hi I heard that just after getting back from Jamaica. I had people asking about it (we go as a large group ) Some really worried about going back. I told everyone that it was not a big deal we don't have to do anything more than we already do. Well I just posted this in our group. I knew it. I love that island. I wish I could move there. Thank you for your wonderful videos. Message sent.
Wow! Thank you so much for debunking this false narrative..simply explained, everyone can understand..excellent work! Thank you for your service. Blessings always. 🖤🇯🇲💯
Speak for yourself,not all of us frighten fi people that look like BACKRA MASSA OK.GO read the philosophy of the great Marcus Garvey and free your mind
Good job Irie, Thank for debunking all the misinformation put out by the US. I am happy to hear the good news..Happy to see you Irie, God bless.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ USA.
In my mind, the travel advisory media campaign is pretty straightforward. It directly coincides with the recent Airbnb bust in the USA. People have to be selling their properties due to low occupancy. Also, there has been a significant decline in Americans visiting local attractions in the USA post COVID. I’m flattered as a Jamaican that they think we are competing so well with tourism that all this hype is necessary. However, some Jamaicans are just too naive, and cannot understand when the country is under attack. That has been going on with some UA-camrs and others for a while now. DO NOT hand people ammunition to attack you. Be sensible. People are looking for any sign of weakness or vulnerability to break us. If there was ever a time to stand up and defend the country, it would be now.
This video couldn't have come at a better time. Debunking misinformation. Visiting next week with friends from Ukraine and Switzerland. I will certainly be diseminating this information, to lay their minds at rest. Thank you
I wish to thank you for this honest, thoughtful and thorough post that help viewers understand the manipulation that is often present in some media - or press releases - regardless of source - encouraging folks to not take things at face value and do their research- especially now. Unfortunately we see some UA-camrs and other”media” creating similar content on US cities without giving accurate perspective and often politicizing it for their parties (or other) objectives. Your time and dedication to aid in our understanding is valued and most appreciated ❤
Irina Irina. Wow. God bless you. I was saying the same thing myself. There must be some sinister thing going on. It’s so cray and sad 😢 Keep doing what you do
Mrs Irina, you came to JA only a few years ago and have done more for Jamaica than I ever did and I am a born Jamaican. I really appreciate your work. I love you (no disrespect to your husband. The love is more respect and honour).

Well, Jamaica gov is given a parliamentary job to a very races white man who put threats out on one of our Melanin sister in UK. He was not reprimanded but instead given a luxurious position and paid in Jamaica.
Dem need to change this advisory I've nvr felt in danger anytime im there visiting family or staying at an air bnb or resort be wise anywhere u travel I've felt more unsafe in America where I live than anywhereI've been in Jamaica 🇯🇲
Thank you, Irena, for researching U. S. Advisory Travel to Jamaica and the Bahamas. It is very important that you bring to light the facts and statistics; showing the numbers of what crime has taken place and the numbers of people who died, etc. Showing were those crimes; did it affect Tourist's? No! Why 😢 Jamaica and the Bahamas being targeted? Does somebody want to crippled the Tourist Industry with inaccurate information? Giving it level 3! It's dangerous to travel to Jamaica! Tourists are traveling and are enjoying their Jamaica vacation. They are safe, and many are voicing their opinions against the U. S. Advisory Travel to Jamaica. Irene thanks for researching this topic, and bringing it to light. Keep up the good work!❤❤❤
I expected nothing less from you Irina, that is, courage, professionalism, objectivity, and thoroughly researched subject matter. If the State Department's source/s were as thorough, this would be a non issue
I wait in such anticipation for everything you post. I know you always do your research and it takes time. But this was so o time and needed We needed to debunk this thing right away. Jamaica is so dependent on tourism. I absolutely love your Vlog. I am appreciate you so much on all you do for my island of birth
I honestly feel much safer in Jamaica as a US citizen than I did in the US, although I heard about shootings when I was in Jamaica, the first week I went back to the US I heard gunshots ringing, and I was living in a pretty safe neighborhood in a college town. So the State department really and truly has some introspection
Thanks for the information, I live in the UK and theres nothing like this in here regarding the travel advisory. There should be a travel advisory for Jamaican travelling to the USA, so much unnecessary shooting there
I love your quest for truth! This video is so informative for tourists. I love Jamaica 🇯🇲 it’s my second home from US never 👎 have I ever felt unsafe. wherever I travel I always do my homework. The travel advisory and these social media platforms or ridiculous. Thank you Irie ❤
Why didn’t the US media blast Dominican Republic? They have the same travel advisory level as Bahamas. Is it because Dominican Republic is 100 controlled by the US and has 100% US investments and Bahamas and Jamaica has significant Chinese and Russian investments. I don’t know but I am asking the question. Anyone who has an answer to why the US media didn’t slam Dominican Republic like they did Bahamas and Jamaica please respond.
Thank you so much Irie, God bless you for setting the record clear about Jamaica and the Caribbean and the lies that are being told, you did an excellent job. One love my sister.
I am a a Jamaican living abroad . I have a home in Jamaica and I go to Jamaica Two times per year , sometime three times per year when my mother was alive. I feel very safe going to do my errands , going to the grocery store, banks , tax office etc . Never felt any danger . I go to the grocery store in the US , and I wonder if I am going to be a victim of mass shooting while shopping for groceries. My Elementary school grand children have shooting drills in school here in the us. Wow !!!! I was born and raised in Jamaica , and we have never have shooting drills in school , churches etc. this crusade to tarnish Jamaica needs to stop. People , stop being naive, think for yourself . In between social media feeds that are self serving at times , turn on the evening news. And see for yourself selves how many murders and robberies happens across the us daily . Better yet read the news paper . Yes , there is something called the NEWS PAPER.
Many blogs are in Jamaica creating content s, they are the alternative media for traveling... to Jamaica. Thanks Irie for debunking the Nonsense. Respect.
We need honest people with integrity like you to report matters relating to travel advisory and disseminate pertinent data affecting people globally. Great job 👍
I love the objective pragmatic approach taken by you and your channel. I and other Jamaicans following you channel are proud to welcome you as part of our Jamaican family. “E Pluribus Unum” if I haven’t forgotten my St Ann’s school boys Latin; out of many one 👌🇯🇲
In case you guys don't know, travel advisories are usually politically based. Remember a Chinese official visited the island recently. Think about that for a second.
I just spent 7 weeks travelling around Jamaica. I found the people to be loving, caring and helpful. Being a single woman I was pleased at how gentlemanly Jamaican men are. I had a delightful sojourn with no issues whatsoever.
This is true! As a Jamaican female living in Jamaica, I've had a few flat tyres while travelling around the island and I and quickly and efficiently helped by our men in passing vehicles as well as men from nearby communities.
Thanks so much for your article. I was in Jamaica for 10 days and left on the 3 of Mar 24 and went all over and had no issues. I would wager that this “mis-information” is retribution to the Jamaican government not succumbing to the moral bankruptcy of the US. You have shed light on the hypocrisy of the “travel Advisory” , I would ask that other countries put America on a travel advisory. Can you imagine if the Chinese told their citizens to be cautious as they are viewed as enemies of the states and to not visit America or it territories? As you alluded to,the intent, is to harm the economy.
Hi Irie, doing a good job as usual. What would Jamaica do without your invaluable presence on the Island? I have not read anything from the local journalists rebuffing those Yankee claim, without your input to dismiss their lies Jamaica would suffer. Keep up the good work.
Your work is excellent, and we can't repay you enough. Continue doing a fantastic job in clearing up all the BS the media propogate, both locally and internationally. Another hit episode this was. Yearning for more!
Amazing job exposing the truth and the facts I call you a journalistic investigator I will be sharing this all over in my effort to get the word out Hope the Prime Minister sees this
Irene defended Jamaica more than most Jamaicans. We tend to think that everywhere in the world is better than our country and we treat it as such. While visitors come here and see paradise 🤦
Yes all-day country, but only Jamaica is in the news Even in the new York Times 6 march they mentioned Bahamas and Mexico. But the emphasis was on Jamaica
Jamaica even has health tourists, dedicated private hospitals in Montego, and Negril. When I traveled abroad to Canada last year, I had to purchase health insurance just in case. As a health professional. I would say it is wise to have health insurance, which is useful, especially once you travel out of your country . Jamaica land we love 🇯🇲 .
I live in Toronto Canada on I don't feel safe to drive through places that is less than 10 minutes away from wear I am living now in the last week alone there was about 10 people got killed around 10 to 15 minutes away from my home so they needed to look on think before making foolish decisions thanks again for your great work keep it come very good job thanks 💯
@@dee2973 while you at it you should also ask them about the increase of cars highjack and home invasion and braking and entery in people homes in Toronto and all over Canada 🤣😭🤠 let me know when you get the results have a good one 😀
Politicians and government officials will not be able to destroy the good relationship between we, the people. Keep visiting/coming, we have lots of love to share and give 🇺🇸 ❤ 🇯🇲 ❤ 🇺🇸
The best news will be when Jamaica unites & remembers the paradise 🏝️ that it is! What a day when unu wake up to no violence and irie good vibes! Yes I’m qualified to say this about my out of many one people! 🇯🇲 The world would see that harmony/balance is possible! Islands should do it first so Foreign cyan tek notice👀

I wait in such anticipation for everything you post. I know you always do your research and it takes time. But this was so o time and needed We needed to debunk this thing right away. Jamaica is so dependent on tourism. I absolutely love your Vlog. I am appreciate you so much on all you do for my island of birth
I honestly feel much safer in Jamaica as a US citizen than I did in the US, although I heard about shootings when I was in Jamaica, the first week I went back to the US I heard gunshots ringing, and I was living in a pretty safe neighborhood in a college town. So the State department really and truly has some introspection
Yeah you’re less safe in the US than the murder capital of the world. 😂
Thanks for the information, I live in the UK and theres nothing like this in here regarding the travel advisory. There should be a travel advisory for Jamaican travelling to the USA, so much unnecessary shooting there
There should be a travel advisory on how Jamaican visa workers Re treated in the US when they travel to work.
I am drawned to this reporter. Irina is the best TRUTH journalist in this century. We appreciate your excellent journalism.
I am elated my Jamaican ambassador Irie speaking the facts.
I had to share this with my contacts. This was an excellent piece of journalism research debunking the the level 3 advisory.
I'm glad there's STILL people out here that make an effort to check there FACTS before opening their Mouths!! 😊😊😊
Great job Irie we can always depend on you and your investigation skills
I love your quest for truth! This video is so informative for tourists. I love Jamaica 🇯🇲 it’s my second home from US never 👎 have I ever felt unsafe. wherever I travel I always do my homework. The travel advisory and these social media platforms or ridiculous. Thank you Irie ❤
Jamaica is the best travelled place in the world
I can always count on Irie Irine on debunking nonsense about Jamaica and Jamaicans... Thanks again🙏
Why didn’t the US media blast Dominican Republic? They have the same travel advisory level as Bahamas. Is it because Dominican Republic is 100 controlled by the US and has 100% US investments and Bahamas and Jamaica has significant Chinese and Russian investments. I don’t know but I am asking the question. Anyone who has an answer to why the US media didn’t slam Dominican Republic like they did Bahamas and Jamaica please respond.
Thank you so much Irie, God bless you for setting the record clear about Jamaica and the Caribbean and the lies that are being told, you did an excellent job. One love my sister.
I am a a Jamaican living abroad . I have a home in Jamaica and I go to Jamaica Two times per year , sometime three times per year when my mother was alive. I feel very safe going to do my errands , going to the grocery store, banks , tax office etc . Never felt any danger . I go to the grocery store in the US , and I wonder if I am going to be a victim of mass shooting while shopping for groceries. My Elementary school grand children have shooting drills in school here in the us. Wow !!!! I was born and raised in Jamaica , and we have never have shooting drills in school , churches etc. this crusade to tarnish Jamaica needs to stop. People , stop being naive, think for yourself . In between social media feeds that are self serving at times , turn on the evening news. And see for yourself selves how many murders and robberies happens across the us daily . Better yet read the news paper . Yes , there is something called the NEWS PAPER.
Many blogs are in Jamaica creating content s, they are the alternative media for traveling... to Jamaica.
Thanks Irie for debunking the Nonsense.
Respect.
We need honest people with integrity like you to report matters relating to travel advisory and disseminate pertinent data affecting people globally. Great job 👍
I love the objective pragmatic approach taken by you and your channel.
I and other Jamaicans following you channel are proud to welcome you as part of our Jamaican family.
“E Pluribus Unum” if I haven’t forgotten my St Ann’s school boys Latin; out of many one 👌🇯🇲
Excellent video and information! Just watched to the end. Thanks again for all you do. Blessings
The us think that Jamaica is making too much money!
Too popular for their liking.
In case you guys don't know, travel advisories are usually politically based. Remember a Chinese official visited the island recently. Think about that for a second.
I just spent 7 weeks travelling around Jamaica. I found the people to be loving, caring and helpful. Being a single woman I was pleased at how gentlemanly Jamaican men are. I had a delightful sojourn with no issues whatsoever.
This is true! As a Jamaican female living in Jamaica, I've had a few flat tyres while travelling around the island and I and quickly and efficiently helped by our men in passing vehicles as well as men from nearby communities.
Irena just want to say thank you and thanks for what you're doing for our 8 wonders of the world
Excellent investigative journalism. I am truly impressed. Well done and thanks for sharing. Really appreciate this video ❤
Thanks for bringing us the facts! I was just in Montego and had a great time.
This is an excellent piece of journalism. From beginning to end. Definitely was worth every minute watching
Thanks so much for your article. I was in Jamaica for 10 days and left on the 3 of Mar 24 and went all over and had no issues. I would wager that this “mis-information” is retribution to the Jamaican government not succumbing to the moral bankruptcy of the US. You have shed light on the hypocrisy of the “travel Advisory” , I would ask that other countries put America on a travel advisory. Can you imagine if the Chinese told their citizens to be cautious as they are viewed as enemies of the states and to not visit America or it territories? As you alluded to,the intent, is to harm the economy.
Hi Irie, doing a good job as usual. What would Jamaica do without your invaluable presence on the Island? I have not read anything from the local journalists rebuffing those Yankee claim, without your input to dismiss their lies Jamaica would suffer. Keep up the good work.
Your work is excellent, and we can't repay you enough. Continue doing a fantastic job in clearing up all the BS the media propogate, both locally and internationally. Another hit episode this was. Yearning for more!
I knew you get on this Irie, I appreciate the stats, the situation is exactly as I thought...and the US needs to fix this
This was done due to the fact that a Chinese ambassador visit jamaica.
Quite likely.
Jamaica 🇯🇲 land we Love ❤️ Earth Strong 🇯🇲World Power 🇯🇲World Domination 🇯🇲World Control 🌎 Earth Strong ❤️ Peace ✌️ Good job. Thanks
Thank you irie great job ❤
You are a true EYE OPENER............Thank You #Gratefuljamaican
Amazing job exposing the truth and the facts I call you a journalistic investigator
I will be sharing this all over in my effort to get the word out
Hope the Prime Minister sees this
Thank you 👍🏽🇯🇲just shared
TVJ, Gleaner ...please send your journalist back to school. This is real journalist doing real journalism
This ain’t a journalist, seems to be a paid agent of propaganda rather.
I really love ur content and ur love for jamaica and promoting the truth. Much love .
Bahamas and Jamaican are really hot spots. They want tourists to go to other states and the whole America will make lucrative profits.
Yep,in the last 3 years Jamaica and Bahamas even started to overshadow some of the other islands.
Irene defended Jamaica more than most Jamaicans. We tend to think that everywhere in the world is better than our country and we treat it as such. While visitors come here and see paradise 🤦
Wow!!! Thanks again Irena.
Well done. Soon come Jamaica 🇯🇲👍
Thank you my dear I just subscribed to your channel 🇯🇲
Yes all-day country, but only Jamaica is in the news
Even in the new York Times 6 march they mentioned Bahamas and Mexico. But the emphasis was on Jamaica
Irina always hits the spot. Thx for being a thinking person, and refusing to ingest the political kool-aid! 🇯🇲🙏🏾💯
Interesting... analysis and objective reporting, thank you Irina.
Big up this channel all the way time truly appreciate the work you put in!! ❤
They done brought irie out! Irie pon dem case.
THANK YOU SO MUCH IRIE FOR TELLING THE WORLD THE TRUTH GOD BLESS YOU 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
If God be for us who can be against us.
Jamaica even has health tourists, dedicated private hospitals in Montego, and Negril. When I traveled abroad to Canada last year, I had to purchase health insurance just in case. As a health professional. I would say it is wise to have health insurance, which is useful, especially once you travel out of your country . Jamaica land we love 🇯🇲 .
I live in Toronto Canada on I don't feel safe to drive through places that is less than 10 minutes away from wear I am living now in the last week alone there was about 10 people got killed around 10 to 15 minutes away from my home so they needed to look on think before making foolish decisions thanks again for your great work keep it come very good job thanks 💯
Who , or rather, what ethnicity were the victims, and who were doing all these killings in your neighborhood?
You should ask the cops 😳😳😭
@@dee2973 while you at it you should also ask them about the increase of cars highjack and home invasion and braking and entery in people homes in Toronto and all over Canada 🤣😭🤠 let me know when you get the results have a good one 😀
Irine you spit 🔥. Jamaica should be proud to have you as an ambassador.❤
So funny you made the distinction that it was at 3 for awhile… I asked myself, “when did it go to a level 2’ to bring it back to a level 3…. Crazy
Thank you for your intelligence in your deep searching experience ❤😊
Badmind. Too much money is being spent outside of their country, it seems.
I just booked a flight and coworker was just telling me yesterday how he just came back from Jamaica on vacation and he didn’t want to leave.
GATED AIRBNB FOR RENT IN THE TOWN OF OCHO RIOS.. LET ME KNOW YOUR PLAN
@@glamoursettersboutique1805 thank you but I own a house in JA.
Thank you for this!
They know that spring break is coming up and that jamaica and the Bahamas are very popular.
Politicians and government officials will not be able to destroy the good relationship between we, the people. Keep visiting/coming, we have lots of love to share and give 🇺🇸 ❤ 🇯🇲 ❤ 🇺🇸
The best news will be when Jamaica unites & remembers the paradise 🏝️ that it is! What a day when unu wake up to no violence and irie good vibes! Yes I’m qualified to say this about my out of many one people! 🇯🇲 The world would see that harmony/balance is possible! Islands should do it first so Foreign cyan tek notice👀
Mercy, the state department forget information is right at our fingertips. Bless up Irena and thanks for your dedication to defending Jamaica.
Thank you so much for your efforts and reporting the narrative on crime in Jamaica. 💝
