Full post on Australia’s descent into insanity coming soon
alexberenson.substack.com
In the meantime take a look at this video from the streets of Melbourne, where protesters are battling police for the third straight day over a new government rule that all construction workers must be vaccinated
I’m in Aus (not in Melbs thank god) and I saw an interesting post recently that stated that the chance of severe injury from rubber bullets is about 13% or so and the chance of death is 3% - which is much higher than covid for most age groups. So it begs the question - why the brute force if this is about quelling strain on hospitals and also about reverence for life?
This is insane What Fauci and Collins did building a Bio weapon destroying lives economies worldwide. Why or how do these 2 remain free in society. What kind of sick People let these 2 not be held accountable. Where is our FBI are they too busy reading the Proud boys Text messages instead of doing their job.
I see all that and try to square it with what I am reading about Uttar Pardesh, an Indian state with ten times the population of Australia that seems to have beaten covid without beating their citizens.
I hope Alex can write about it or find a journalist in India who can explain what is happening in Uttar Pradesh to compare with Israel or places like Australia.
We are the experiment, and I not talking about the vaccine... I am talking about the most efficient way to control! Different countries, different approaches, but all with one goal in mind - CONTROL
I have this nagging feeling that THIS is what the end game is here...except we still have guns. They just keep pushing and pushing, knowing full well that eventually we will take up arms and fight. Is it possible that they are trying to push us into a civil war with each other and the government? Everyday I hear more and more people (who I once thought were sane) dehumanizing their fellow human beings. It's going to be easy to turn us all against each other...it's already there really. Where do we go from here? I don't want to fight my fellow countrymen, but I won't tolerate this kind of bullshit. THIS is the hill I will die on.
Ok, so, here in Oz, in some States and coming soon to ALL of them, we must get shots or we cannot work. I`m 54, I don`t have as much to lose, but I`ll die to prevent my kids ( 20,22 and 25) from getting this shot. My daughter, 25, MUST get the shot by Oct 15 or she fails her nursing course. Her partner, 30, must get his by the same period or he loses his construction industry apprenticeship/gets sacked. My 22 year old son, studying teaching, will be next and my 22 year old son studying engineering will follow...the pressure on all of them, especially my daughter in Victoria, the most socialist of all our States and the longest locked-down, is incredible.
So many are brainwashed.....My daughter`s best friend, whom we have all known since she was a baby, is a covid believer and recently received her second Pfizer shot...she has bled for the 2 weeks since but responds by imploring my daughter to " just go get the shot".....The issue here is we only have Astra Zenica, Pfizer or the just-arriving Moderna shots, no J&J in Oz.....l
I cannot leave my State of Queensland to drive 3000 kms South to Victoria to rescue her, as if I leave my State, I cannot re-enter without getting jabbed and cannot enter Victoria without getting jabbed...Moreover, she cannot go beyond a 10km travel limit to get close to the Victorian-New South Wales border....and cannot enter Queensland without getting jabbed...We are all imprisoned one way or another if we will not comply with the Vaxxination mandates.....But I am URGING them all to hold out as long as possible.
Btw, there has been ZERO mention in our media of the FDA decision on covid booster shots, which was 4 days ago in the US....that`s how bad the censorship is, I follow independent news sources like this one and Bannon`s War Room and yet the rest of my nation has no idea about the majority vote on the risks of covid boosters.....Insane times. Pity us and don`t let it happen to you.
As someone who lives in Melbourne, I can tell you that the experience is utterly terrifying. My country has sadly turned into an insane fear-ridden dictatorship from once being a great place. This is a total disgrace. As I have a British passport, I am trying to convince my wife that we should move to the UK.
Yesterday I called the Australian Embassy in NYC twice and told them that Au is a tyrannical communist dystopian shithole and to leave our Country. I’ll call again today.
If the USA had any kind of Leadership, Australia would be sanctioned, tossed out of all military alliances, etc, until Civil Liberty and Freedoms are restored in Australia. Is there a difference between North Korea and Australia at this point?
Check out what the President of Croatia has just said - they are done with ALL of this nonsense and apparently so is Romania:
"I don't care. We're vaccinated enough, and everyone knows it... Let them [the EU] fence us with wire... We need to know what the goal of this frenzy is?"
"I start every day with CNN and those few channels. And I wonder if I'm normal or are they crazy? They spread panic. They do it from the beginning. They are not the only ones. Since the New Year, I only listen to nonsense."
The situation in Melbourne is terrifying and should scare the hell out of people. Covid has nothing on a tyrannical police state. What about the video from Auckland, I saw the cops arrested two guys for having a car full of KFC and charged him with some covid law violation. Sadly, many in this country seem to gravitate towards these tyrannical type of solutions when faced with adversity. I’d rather die from some illness then live under the government boot.
this is not my work but i laughed at it when i saw it last year. now i am not laughing so much since it seems almost prescient...
"Ten years from now, you'll put on a jacket and find a mask in the pocket. "Oh man, what a weird year that was," you'll chuckle to yourself. Then you'll pick up your machete and continue across the wasteland, keeping to the shadows to avoid the roving gangs of cannibal raiders."
Reminds me of The Hunger Games. Only choice is to change the Government. One way they could do it is a general Countrywide strike. Shut everything down.
I'm trying to find the link but Kieran Gilbert of Sky News has just reported Andrew's has banned media's use of aerial drones reporting live on the protests. How Stalin-esque
perfect example of why not to give the guns...don't own one, don't want one but definitely see the value of having one after following these shenanigans over the last month
The reports in the MSM on Tuesday's march were the opposite to what I saw. Not hundreds but thousands (maybe 20 000) . Not all tradies but people from all walks of life. From where I joined in Flinders Street, the march was peaceful. I saw no violence from the police either that day.
There's a powerful force in this world that seeks to divide us at all levels, even our families. I know there are also divisions among the police. Many didn't join to spend their time kicking children out of playgrounds and telling people off about masks. It's hard not to get sucked in but think it's important not to buy into it.
I'm currently staying in the CBD in Melbourne. I was researching for a post and I'd just watched the YT video of the FDA ADCOM where they advised against boosters for the general population. I heard the noise in the street below and went down to see what was going on.
The march was going by. I yelled out that the FDA ADCOM had just advised against boosters. One guy hi fived me. He said to join them but 'take the stupid mask off first'. So I did.
I walked beside a carpenter who knew a lot about mRNA. If he doesn't take the jab he'll lose his job. I met an immunologist who told me about a NEJM paper and a nurse who's concerned about babies born with tremors whose mothers had been vaccinated.
Coming off the bridge, the riot police lined the road at the bottom on the left. The protesters filtered off to the right. The riot squad stood in a line for a while then got back in their vans and left.
Today in the city, I saw young man handcuffed on the ground. Ten police in attendance. I asked what he'd done to deserve such heavy-handed treatment . An officer told me he had resisted arrest for breaching covid restrictions and what business was it of mine anyway. I said this was an important time in history and I wanted to record it. Whatever's going on, there's something very wrong about it.
From their expressions, I felt that was one thing we all agreed on.
What is most frightening about this is how willing the police are to go out and crackdown on their fellow citizens. Coming to America, soon. You can be an anarchist rioter and the system will treat you like a saint. But stand up against vaccine mandates and you will be crushed.
Dan Andrews, the Victoria premier, who has specialized in quadrupling down on bad bets for 18 months, is one of the superstars of pandementia. He has spent his entire adult life working in the Labour party and the government. He was made for this. The plot twist this week of actual trade unionists turning against him is excellent (as much as the media there and worldwide wants to paint this as rightwing pretenders rioting in worker drag). So valuable to have avatars of the different mindsets available now for future reference. Do you want to be Australia or Sweden? Dan Andrews or Ron DeSantis?
I am ashamed and DISGUSTED with Farmer Andrews, he's no Leader, this is a puppet, a control freak - doing others bidding, abusing human beings who have every right to walk and show THEIR THINKING in having the Nuremberg and other LEGAL abuses imposed upon them. Where are the other Politicians in Victoria who are also liable to be prosecuted for this? this is not for one person to make decisions, and a person who is obviously not aware of the latest HONEST and RELIABLE Science available now. The Premier? who signed on his own volition - where are his party members and the Opposition? an agreement for the Chinese Belt Road in Victoria??
THIS IS N OT THE AUSTRALIAN WAY at all!!! SHAME ON YOU ANDREWS - those that fought in WARS for our Country must be turning in horror in their graves! my Father volunteered in WW11- he was born in 1900 but lowered his age and was a most honest person. but as he said when he was offered a part pension after the War " No, the Country MUST get on its feet" he NEVER took any pension or help in Australia and look at what is happening now and has for many years now. I watch these videos and read of the Dictator ways and abuse of the citizens by one puppet Psychopath over a seasonal Flu that is now mutating - as all flu's do, but this one has a MAN MADE SPIKE in it - THAT is the DANGER to individuals' health - SHAME! SHAME! SHAME!
Australia used to be known for its independent minded citizens, stay the Course people, stay the Course! for you, your family and the future of Australia.
Yes, looks like this "rescue vehicle" is doing a lot of "rescuing" of the people in this situation. Orwell would be appalled at the wayward colony down under.
The Right to bare Arms is necessary for a FREE Society...Australian Citizens were disarmed awhile back in the name of safety from nutjobs. Are they safe from the F.....g Nut Jobs now????
This is only the beginning. I've feared the day would have to come but hoped it wouldn't. The time for peaceful non-violence is over. There are two choices left; the people surrender completely or they must resist actively. Do enough have the will for that?
I'm in Australia (not Melbourne) and my family are seriously evaluating leaving the country (have EU passport). I know it's a pick your poison scenario, but we don't have any hope here - very apathetic populace.
We know of quite a number of people who are also looking to permanently leave once international begins. Many doctors, cardiologists and other medical staff are starting to resign too.
Via Adams Economics Telegram there is a story of "medical military" going door to door threatening people into vaccination. Please have a look...I live in NZ and really hope we never follow their example.
Hard to believe cops are in for this. What would they do if the whole force just up and walked out. Otherwise, both left and right are going to be in for defunding police.
Mass hysteria and madness seems to be a worldwide condition. Almost every country is doing things without rhyme or reason. Leadership worldwide has failed all people.
There was no Right until the LEFT came along !! Majority of Citizens haven't move, but politics moved LEFT. Now, what was Central is considered right-wing ! Don't get boxed in by labels !!
I was going to buy an AR-15 but thought “nah I don’t need one”
So I bought two
Just saw this posted elsewhere. The only pandemic now is one of fear, and the only science that is being followed is political.
I’m in Aus (not in Melbs thank god) and I saw an interesting post recently that stated that the chance of severe injury from rubber bullets is about 13% or so and the chance of death is 3% - which is much higher than covid for most age groups.

Imagine a vaccine so safe you have to be threatened to take it, for a disease so deadly you have to be tested to know you have it."
I see all that and try to square it with what I am reading about Uttar Pardesh, an Indian state with ten times the population of Australia that seems to have beaten covid without beating their citizens.
I hope Alex can write about it or find a journalist in India who can explain what is happening in Uttar Pradesh to compare with Israel or places like Australia.

We had our hands up in the air when they opened fire
Canadians: now that Trudeau is back he'll move swiftly to disarm the Canadian public in the same way Australians and Brits have been disarmed.
DO NOT COMPLY.
Authoritarianism is FAR more lethal than any virus…….
Check out what the President of Croatia has just said - they are done with ALL of this nonsense and apparently so is Romania:
"I don't care. We're vaccinated enough, and everyone knows it... Let them [the EU] fence us with wire... We need to know what the goal of this frenzy is?"
"I start every day with CNN and those few channels. And I wonder if I'm normal or are they crazy? They spread panic. They do it from the beginning. They are not the only ones. Since the New Year, I only listen to nonsense."

I've seen quite a bit of footage in Melbourne today. Unbelievable, draconian measures. I hope they keep protesting.
The situation in Melbourne is terrifying and should scare the hell out of people. Covid has nothing on a tyrannical police state. What about the video from Auckland, I saw the cops arrested two guys for having a car full of KFC and charged him with some covid law violation. Sadly, many in this country seem to gravitate towards these tyrannical type of solutions when faced with adversity. I’d rather die from some illness then live under the government boot.

If America had a real President, we’d be punishing Australia, not making deals with them.
Avi's doing a great job showing up the MSM.

At this point, I'm think I'm going to apologize to Alex Jones. You were right, buddy.
What is most frightening about this is how willing the police are to go out and crackdown on their fellow citizens. Coming to America, soon. You can be an anarchist rioter and the system will treat you like a saint. But stand up against vaccine mandates and you will be crushed.

Melbourne had a 6.2 earthquake today. Didn't know they were earthquake prone.
Yes, looks like this "rescue vehicle" is doing a lot of "rescuing" of the people in this situation. Orwell would be appalled at the wayward colony down under.
Just a preview of what is to come in the US of A. Don't scoff.
The Right to bare Arms is necessary for a FREE Society...Australian Citizens were disarmed awhile back in the name of safety from nutjobs. Are they safe from the F.....g Nut Jobs now????

This is what happens when you disarm a society. Take note.
I'm in Australia (not Melbourne) and my family are seriously evaluating leaving the country (have EU passport). I know it's a pick your poison scenario, but we don't have any hope here - very apathetic populace.
We know of quite a number of people who are also looking to permanently leave once international begins. Many doctors, cardiologists and other medical staff are starting to resign too.
I've seen multiple videos of the Australians protesters and I've seen NO looting or purposeful destruction of property.
They are not just protesting the vaccine mandates for themselves, but for all of us worldwide.
So, in Melbourne the police shoot you for your health. I've given up debating. Those who still cannot see that this is madness are beyond saving.
Look how quickly Australia went full Nazi; never go full Nazi...
The cops are now a part of the problem.
We are determined to protect the health of the public if we have to bash the public's head in to do it
Via Adams Economics Telegram there is a story of "medical military" going door to door threatening people into vaccination. Please have a look...I live in NZ and really hope we never follow their example.
When in the Course of Human Events....
Hard to believe cops are in for this. What would they do if the whole force just up and walked out. Otherwise, both left and right are going to be in for defunding police.
Mass hysteria and madness seems to be a worldwide condition. Almost every country is doing things without rhyme or reason. Leadership worldwide has failed all people.
Insane! Simply INSANE!!! When will they WAKE UP and STOP the WITCH HUNTS and base their policies on REAL SCIENCE???!!!
Monsters.
Sick and scary. Australia and New Zealand were on my travel bucket list. Oh well, where’s my eraser
There was no Right until the LEFT came along !! Majority of Citizens haven't move, but politics moved LEFT. Now, what was Central is considered right-wing ! Don't get boxed in by labels !!
Australia=China
Given up firearms has consequences; so does giving up your moral rights to self-defense.
