I have been watching Australia and what is happening ‘over there’. It has never been about ‘safety’ or ‘public health’. I am afraid that the dumbed down, virtue signaling, woke, masses that subscribe to American Marxism, will accept The New World Order without so much as a flinch. Some in our circle of friends (we live in Western Washington State, 20 minutes from Portland), are highly educated and seemingly smart people (think PhD, MD’s). To our utter surprise 3 couples whom we have been friends with for 20 years, decided to stop associating with us AT ALL because we were questioning the ‘mask mandates’. We were trying to discuss, ‘the science’ with them or the lack of it and rational thought. It is this type of total compliance that scares me the most. People who question the ‘regime’ are considered dangerous. I believe the fight for freedom and America has just begun. I now call the Democrat Party…the DCP.
I came to Australia 41 years ago. I had all the freedoms that I had anywhere else. I have also lived in the U.S. and Canada. Then came Covid-19. What has transpired is shameful. The dictatorial edicts that have been imposed rival those of any Communist nation. Of course, just like that they banned Ivermectin, fearful that fewer would avail themselves of the jab.
Australia is a now a country that relies on fear, irrational health advice and frankly has tbe maturity level of a 5-year-old.
It infuriates these petty tyrants when their efforts to control nature are shown as futile. Their egomaniacal God complex will simply not allow them to come to the realization they aren’t very powerful at all, and certainly no more special than the plebs they hate so much. I take great joy in ignoring their mandates and upsetting them even more.
This has to be pushed until they break or we do. I’d we break, COVID will fade as Climate Change emergency measures take its place. That’s what this is about - the power of global “monarchs” finally getting their way so they can protect us from ourselves.
I am currently reading "The Disappearing Act" by Florence de Changy, about MH370 (remember that?)
About one-third through and the shocking detail emerges of how the Australians (who took over the search) cherry-picked and presented ridiculous and misleading "scientific evidence" about where they thought the flight had strayed/ended.
Australian politicians quickly took over the operation and played it on the media, much to the torment of the families of the passengers. It is also quite likely that the politically managed operation could have led to the wreckage never being found, as the politicians were more interested in what looked good on TV, rather than boring stuff that made sense.
The parallels with "The Science" today are clear and painful.
The chief then was Tony Abbot. The chief today is Scott Morrison, who was in the Abbot cabinet at the time of the MH370 mess and very much cut from the same cloth, and to the same measurements.
Your casting of people like Andrews - a cross between a hipster cafe owner and a minor banana republic despot - is perfect. Or, as one British commentator said: "the problem with Australia is not that so many people may have been descended from convicts, but that quite a few are descended from prison guards."
Australia is the perfect example of fear motivated policies. Their leaders, mostly left leaning, are consumed with empathy and obsessed with the idea of preventing death. Easy to justify the irrationality, anti-data and flat out cruelty when it is 'for the good of everyone'. What truly baffles me is how they are pursuing a zero Covid strategy by insisting on mass vaccinations. Have they not watched Israel, the UK or the USA?
Kudos to Alex for bringing international attention to what's happening in Oz. The Chinese Flu news out of Oz has been v depressing. However, seeing the working class protests over the past weeks has begun to lift my spirits. These (mostly) blokes aren't viral immunologists. Instead, they're the types of guys who build us stuff while we sit at home zooming to and from work. Their kids are the folks who deliver our food and groceries to our front doors while we cower inside. These real Aussies understand that knocking down and pepper-spraying old ladies, martial law, and the arrest of outdoor protestors who pose zero health risk, is the last straw. Without useless university degrees, I'm sure many of them also understand better than the risk aversive credentialed class that trying to prevent a respiratory virus with a survivability rate > 99.8% is epidemiological folly. As a former dyed-in-the-wool Australian liberal supporter now living in the US (17 years and counting) I say to you fellows bravo! Keep up the good fight and stop Comrade Dan from turning the great state of Victoria into a bio-security dystopian hell hole. Aussie, Aussie, Aussie!
From what I can see from afar, the average Aussie has simply had enough. There are still the odd few who think that if they "obey the restrictions" just a bit longer, that Dan The Boy will let them out to play again. They have crucial strength in numbers now, which will (hopefully!) bring out those who were thinking about it, but would never make the first move themselves.
Some of the scenes really have been shocking, like from Burma or one of 'those' places. But it's not, this is a democratic country and the police presence is unreal. I cannot see how Dan The Boy's position is tenable now, he simply must step aside after having street battles take place in his city?!
the ultimate "cure" for all this covid insanity is to cancel the internet. the internet is enabling all the "social distancing" and it's a very bad thing. without internet none of these "measures" are possible. no zooming. no work from home. no wifi surveillance cameras. no online shopping. no internet banking. no virtual school. without internet everyone will be forced back into the real world to survive and the "very bad cold" will cease to be a problem virtually overnight.
Alex is absolutely spot on. Sorry to be anecdotal, but I was on the phone with my dear friend in Australia a few nights ago and this is EXACTLY what she told me...so I was actually very surprised when I read this article today at how exactly on point he is. Very insightful.
I have no doubt the US will be headed in the same direction before too long. Wonder how much our own elites salivate when they hear about Aus' strict control over their compliant masses?
The new professional class globalist bourgeoisie against the traditional hard-working nativist proletariat. The pandemic only accelerated the conflict that was already in play. The bourgeois pillboxes on the battle beachhead are the entities of the global corporate media and giant social media tech companies. But they are staffed with the reactionary muffin warriors indoctrinated in western education. And western education has its corrupt source in Critical Theory.
Critical Theory hatched from 1960s collectivist French social scientists upset about the failures of Marxism and the beginning of the fall of communism. Unable to accept that their utopia dream had failed (yet again) they put their big myopic brains to work to come up with the excuse... call it cynicism of everything packaged in a new religion of group victimology.
We have a VERY BIG problem in the western world today because the money and the credentials and the education system and the media and big tech and the governments... they are all infested with these crybully clown clones of critical theory. And they are bent on transforming the world to a single entity of totalitarian matriarchal power where THEY (the victims they feel they are) get final retribution for the burning resentment of inferiority they have always felt in the presence of true independent hard working people.
The Pandemic (more likely a planned-demic) was their Tet Offensive. They are milking it for all they can get. They are crushing the independent hard working people. But those people and many more are starting to see behind the curtain. They are recognizing the evil intent of those in charge. They are rising up.

I have been Karened so many times over the years by Australians fortunate enough to be working and living in Texas- “why do you need a gun?!?!?”
Bet they wish they had guns now

Government gone amuck. Though this is certainly by design in my opinion. And it could be on the way to a government near you!
Governor Newsom is so jealous. He'd love to do this to us Californians.

The writing on the wall behind Daniel Andrews in the first pic from the Guardian is absolutely Orwellian:
"STAYING APART KEEPS US TOGETHER"
Reminds me of:
"WAR IS PEACE"
"FREEDOM IS SLAVERY"
"IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH"
I have no doubt the US will be headed in the same direction before too long. Wonder how much our own elites salivate when they hear about Aus' strict control over their compliant masses?

The only remaining question... is it too late?
