Not sure if this is exactly what you are getting at, but for several years now I have noticed a distinct difference in perception whenever I leave the United States. I feel less fearful and anxious, life flows more easily, my intentions manifest faster, and I am more trusting of others and myself.
Whenever I come back to the U.S. it is like I am re-entering some kind of frequency fence. My partner and I call it the "fear pen". I don't have much of an explanation for this phenomenon, but I have noticed the effect several times, and it has been corroborated by several others. So this leads me to suspect that "something" is going on with the U.S. that the rest of the world is not experiencing in quite the same way. I think it has something to do with the constant barrage of disinformation fed to Americans about how much everybody else in the world hates us and wants to kill us.
Actually I partially take that back... I have encountered quite a number of Israelis in my travels who tell me that a similar thing is going on in their home country as well...
