This is so bizarre. What are people able to do to protest?

Threatening stage 5 lockdown if stage 4 does not "work".

BUT how can stage 4 "work"?

None of this makes any sense to me when you look at the actual death toll figures in that area. I have a growing suspicion there is some sort of evil social experiment going on here. What may work in communist China may not work in the west. So it would be a matter of interest (to 'them') to find out what the limits are, how far they can push things, how much people can take.

Perhaps Australia is the ideal testing ground for this for whatever reason. One could be, an already compromised government, and two, easy test subjects - the people are not armed to resist as they are in the states.

I just posted this over here (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?110506-Covid19-Cui-Bono-Is-there-an-agenda/page22). There is something deeply wrong in Australia, no doubt about it.

This does not show the beginning but when a person is out of control, manhandling her is NOT helpful. Engaging will lead to increased violent reaction.

The State of New Mexico in the USA has a similar piece of legislation.

What a curious term, "penalty units". I looked it up and it is a means by which the monetary value of the penalty is adjusted for inflation, so that the "value" of the money (so-called) collected for the penalty does not become eroded by inflation. These money managers never miss a beat.

This is from a friend of mine in Melbourne, I emailed him after I read some stuff here on Avalon last week



The article is effectively spot-on, and this is only what we are aware of.

We are certainly living in interesting and draconian times. This has been more evident over the last few weeks.

Effectively, we have had Martial Law imposed upon us under the guise of a medical emergency. This is the only time in the history of the world that the healthy are being locked up vs the established protocol of quarantining the sick minority. Masks are mandatory and only one (1) person is allowed in a car at a time.

Our State Government has quarantined Melbourne, but not before it increased its borders to encompass an area of 10,000 klm2 - this is just for Melbourne!

As it stands, as of today, the army has been called in to supplement the police force to stop people from leaving their house/property under penalty of A$6000 per breach for a 1st offence. A$20,000 for subsequent breaches. Only one (1) person per household is allowed to leave the house for one (1) hour per day for essential goods. Most retail businesses have been ordered to shut and staff from other businesses have been ordered to stay home. And in true Third Reich style (just like the prelude to WW2) the community has been encouraged to report offenders.

The supermarkets are rationing certain lines of goods such as canned tomatoes, paper towels, dishwashing detergent, milk etc. The quantity/variety of fresh vegetables is down from usual. Talk on the media of meat being rationed, and I suspect this will happen. Meat prices have almost doubled from a few weeks ago. The word ‘Curfew’ (just like a military operation) is on signs detailing the operating hours of supermarkets etc.

People cannot be out of their property 8.00pm - 5.00am.

Schools have been closed and education is to be remote via computers etc. Trains and buses are operating on heavily reduced schedules. No weddings are allowed.

We cannot travel more than 5 Klms from home, and road blocks are in place through the suburbs. In fact road blocks are placed on the main arterial roads/highways out of/into Melbourne to stop people escaping. Very draconian, and the pity is the police in particular don’t know the law and just enforce whatever the government dictates against the people (we do not have the awareness of the Constitution here in Australia that you have in the USA).

Cannot leave or enter Victoria without a special pass - most are turned back at the border. Total lockdown communist style.

The figures of how many are infected with Covoid19 is very suspect. According to the government, there are minimal reports of influenza, or death by cancer etc as per previous years but a lot of people are suddenly infected by the Covoid19. The figures don’t make sense.

So far, ~150 deaths Australia wide with a population of 25 million. Sad as this is, most were in their 80-90’s and had underlying health issues.

Our State is being, in my opine, deliberately destroyed by the current Left Leaning Government and media. Any narrative giving a questioning view is immediately censored and deleted. I am unsure if it is ideology based for a New World Order or just incompetence. But either way, we are up the proverbial creek without a paddle and our rights and freedoms are being whittled away.

They are even trialing having to supply names/address as a condition to shop in certain supermarkets - for tracking Covoid19 of course. Just getting the plebs who want to eat, used to the new reality of being a slave.

Mark of the Beast is here, and a fair majority of people support it for the ‘common good’. Sad but true.

Of note is Victoria accounts for ~25% of Australia’s GDP, destroy it and Australia suffers massively.

Times certainly are interesting Bryan.

Thanks for starting this thread Maggie :flower:

I believe that the stage 4 restrictions has been a political move rather than a health initiated directive motivated by the Premiers agreement with the CCP (China Communist Party)

China's belt and road initiative: what is it and why is Victoria under fire for its involvement?




Victoria has come under fire from federal Coalition MPs over its agreement under China’s belt and road initiative, but what does it mean for Victoria and Australia’s foreign policy towards China?

What is the belt and road initiative?
It’s the Chinese government’s estimated $1.5tn foreign and economic policy, announced in 2013, to establish maritime trade routes across the globe and invest in infrastructure projects in dozens of countries. The projects include pipelines, ports, railways and other major infrastructure projects.

Last year, Chinese media reported 170 memoranda of understanding had been signed with 125 countries.


Why did Victoria sign an agreement with China?
In 2018, premier Daniel Andrews signed a memorandum of understanding with China’s national development and reform commission to work together on belt and road initiatives.

At the time, Andrews said the agreement was aimed at his massive state infrastructure program.

“With the biggest infrastructure program in our state’s history under way, we have the design and delivery skills China is looking for, meaning more jobs and more trade and investment for Victorians,” he said.

“In four years we have more than tripled Victoria’s share of Chinese investment in Australia and nearly doubled our exports to China. We said we’d reboot our relationship with China and we’re getting it done.”

This was followed by a framework that established a working group, with an aim to get a roadmap on the partnership opportunities between China and Victoria agreed upon by the middle of 2020. So far, no roadmap has been released.

The framework reveals the partnership is looking to go beyond Chinese investment in infrastructure, including potential partnerships on biotechnology, agriculture, food, cosmetics, and a wide variety of industries.

What does the agreement force Victoria to do?
Nothing. It is not a legally-binding agreement, but so far the Victorian government is not backing away from it.

Victoria’s treasurer, Tim Pallas, told a parliamentary inquiry this month that the state would “absolutely not” reconsider its belt and road agreement, and accused the federal government of “vilifying” China over its push for an international inquiry into the Covid-19 pandemic.

The federal government has not signed a similar agreement, instead stating that BRI projects will be assessed on a case-by-case basis, rather than signing an overarching MoU or agreeing to any roadmap like Victoria.


Why are Coalition MPs so concerned about it?
Western countries, particularly the United States, have expressed scepticism about China’s motives underlying the BRI.

“An agenda is probably the best way to describe it,” the then prime minister, Malcolm Turnbull, said when asked why the federal government had delayed signing on in 2017.

“We obviously welcome Chinese investment that meets our foreign investment guidelines but we’d prefer to focus on specific projects and investments rather than engaging in generalities.”

The home affairs minister, Peter Dutton, was one of several Coalition members, including senators James Paterson and Matt Canavan, who criticised Victoria for making the deal.

Dutton described BRI as “a propaganda initiative from China” that brings an “enormous amount of foreign interference”.

“Victoria needs to explain why it is the only state in the country that has entered into this agreement,” he said.

Paterson accused Victoria of undermining the federal government’s response to China in the Covid-19 crisis.

On Sunday the prime minister, Scott Morrison, said Victoria was stepping into federal government policy territory.


“We didn’t support that decision at the time they made [the agreement]. And national interest issues on foreign affairs are determined by the federal government, and I respect their jurisdiction when it comes to the issues they’re responsible for and it’s always been the usual practice for states to respect and recognise the role of the federal government in setting foreign policy.

“And I think that’s always been a good practice.”

The Liberal opposition in Victoria has questioned why the agreement was not able to protect Victorian farmers from the 80% tariff placed on Australian barley by the Chinese government this month.

Could it lead to Chinese telecommunications infrastructure in Australia?
No more than is already here in the 4G networks that use Huawei today.

The US secretary of state, Mike Pompeo, told the Sky News Outsiders program on Sunday that communication channels could be severed if Victoria allowed China to fund telecommunications infrastructure in Australia.

He said the US would “not take any risk to our telecommunications infrastructure, any risk to the national security elements of what we need to do with our Five Eyes partners”.

“We’re going to protect and preserve the security of those institutions, so I don’t know the nature of those projects precisely, but to the extent they have an adverse impact on our ability to protect telecommunications from our private citizens, or security networks for our defence and intelligence communities, we will simply disconnect, we will simply separate,” he said.

The US ambassador to Australia, Arthur Culvahouse, had to backtrack on the comments on Sunday, after it was pointed out that telecommunications projects in Australia are the responsibility of the federal government.

In addition to Victoria stating it has not and would not enter an agreement with China over a telecommunications project, federal legislation passed in 2018 giving the federal government veto power over telecommunications infrastructure partners effectively bans Chinese companies such as Huawei and ZTE from working on 5G and other similar projects in the future.

The former premier Jeff Kennett is interviewed here. Jeff says that the current premier is being secretive about what this agreement with China involves. We are not allowed to see it. The rest of Australia is not being informed.
The current premier states that we are exporting more goods from here than anyone else. What exactly is he exporting when the state is bankrupt, our tourism is dead, and our people are out of work? Kennett says that the Premier increased our debt by 24.5 billion. Kennett says that it is a tactical and strategic maneouvre by China who is looking for those who are weakened by financial debt.

In 2017, I was told by someone who has spent over 30 years in the agricultural industry that China would be controlling all of Victoria's fresh produce by 2020. He said that all our food would be coming from China. At the time, it rang true to me because I was reading reports that the Chinese were buying up large portions of farmers land on the outskirts of Melbourne. This land has been repurposed for housing estates.

Over 20 years ago, I used to live in one of the inner suburbs of Melbourne. The suburb is called Box Hill. Box Hill city was always considered to be one of the larger-sized middle class suburbs of Melbourne and of medium density in population.

Melbourne has always considered to be a very multicultural city and I am very grateful for that. However, I went to visit Box Hill about 6 months ago and I was surprised. I could have been in any modern asian city! The landscape of the city of Box Hill had altered so dramatically with new tramways and infrastructure and brand new high rises everywhere that I almost didn't recognise it!
All the shops signs were written in Chinese. Of the shops I visited, none of the staff spoke english. It was now a very highly affluent city filled with Chinese people living and working there. I didn't see any other cultures frequenting the stores or the streets, or coming out of homes.
There has always been a trend in Melbourne for immigrants to settle in certain pockets but these are usually in the outer suburbs where it is more affordable to live, more sprawling and the population is still very mixed in its culture.




Why Is China Snatching Up Australian Farmland?
June 20, 20174:40 PM ET

At the wine tasting room of Taylors Wines in Sydney, Australia, bottles are uncorked, poured, swished, sniffed and sipped. There's a lot for employees to toast this year.

"The Australian wine sector is growing at a fast rate," says Mitchell Taylor, the winery's managing director. "And what is exciting is the top level, about 20 to 30 dollars a bottle and above, that segment is growing at 53 percent."

That's thanks, in part, to China.

Five years ago, the biggest importers of Australian wines were the U.K. and the U.S. Now that title is held solely by China, and Australia's exports of wine there are growing at 40 percent per year.

In the past year alone, Chinese investment in Australia's overall agricultural sector has skyrocketed threefold, from $300 million to $1 billion — an unprecedented investment boom.

"We're very excited about this agricultural boom that is starting to happen now, not only in the wine sector, but in so many agricultural industries," says Taylor. "And I really believe it's due to having that access of being on the same time zone as China, and being able to provide that clean, green, positive image that Australia presents."

And for Chinese companies, this presents a way to feed the world's largest and fastest-growing consumer class. "Chinese investors want a piece of that action," says James Laurenceson, economist at University of Technology Sydney.

Last year, Chinese home-buyers bought up to a quarter of the new housing stock in New South Wales. In the past few years, Chinese companies have either purchased outright or bought significant shares of the Australian ports of Darwin, Melbourne and Newcastle.

It's the same story for agriculture, says Laurenceson. "I mean, they're the ones who can see it most clearly, right?" he asks from his office above Sydney. "They're seeing Australian wine to China going up by 40 percent last year, dairy products, everything. So they see profit opportunities. And at the same time, rural Australia has this chronic shortage of capital."

And that's why China has replaced the United States as the second-largest foreign owner of agricultural land in Australia. (The U.K. is No. 1.) Two years ago, Dakang, a private Chinese agricultural company, offered to buy Australia's largest cattle ranch. The Kidman ranch makes up 2 percent of Australia's farmland – it's the size of South Carolina.

Snippets taken from parliament research papers (https://www.parliament.vic.gov.au/publications/research-papers/download/36-research-papers/13962-emergency-powers-public-health-and-covid-19)

These were the directives given to the Chief Health Officer under the Emergency Act




Public directions

Sections 199 and 200 of the Act grant the Chief Health Officer expansive powers to issue directions and set requirements to eliminate or reduce risks to public health. These powers include:

§ detaining any person or group for as long as reasonably necessary to eliminate or reduce a serious risk to public health;

§ restricting the movement of any person within Victoria;

§ preventing any person or group from entering Victoria; and

§ giving any other direction reasonably necessary to protect public health.


2-Aug

At 6pm, Victoria entered a State of Disaster and moved to Stage 4 restrictions. In a statement, Premier Daniel Andrews announced that stronger rules were being put in place in order to 'limit the movement of people – and limit the spread of [footnote the] virus across [footnote the] city'.[footnote 202] Under Stage 4, new restrictions include:

§ a curfew from 8pm to 5am, with the only reason to leave home during these hours being work, medical care and caregiving;

§ Night network suspended, with public transport services reduced during curfew hours;

§ exercise limited to a maximum of one hour per day and no more than five kilometres from home;

§ study at TAFE and university must be done remotely, with schools returning to remote and flexible learning;

§ closure of early childhood services; and

§ no weddings in Melbourne.

These restrictions will remain in place for at least six weeks, until Sunday 13 September.[footnote 203]

3-Aug

A follow-up statement from the Premier on 3 August announced new restrictions for businesses and workers. As part of Stage 4, three lists have laid out changes to businesses and workers to limit people moving around the state for work:

§ The first list confirms businesses and workers that will continue to operate. Included are supermarkets, grocery stores, bottle shops, pharmacies, petrol stations, banks, newsagencies, post offices and frontline response workers.

§ The second list details businesses which are to cease operations by Wednesday 5 August at 11:59pm. Among these are retail, manufacturing and administration operations.

§ The third list outlines that food production, waste collection and supply chain logistics industries are permitted to operate, but under significantly different conditions.[footnote 204]

Penalties and enforcement
Penalties for failing to comply with directions are set out under section 203 of the Public Health and Wellbeing Act 2008. Non-compliance may result in a fine of up to $20,000 for persons and $100,0000 for bodies corporate.[footnote 205] The Premier made these penalties explicit when the first round of public gathering restrictions was announced.[footnote 206]

On 28 March 2020, further regulations were issued under the PHW Act for infringements of the emergency measures.[footnote 207] These offences included refusing or failing to comply with emergency directions (sections 200 and 203(1) of the Act), public health risk power directions (sections 190 and 193(1) of the Act) or a Chief Health Officer direction to provide information (section 188(2) of the Act); and hindering or obstructing an Authorised Officer (section 183 of the PHW Act).

The DHHS delegated enforcement of the PHW Act to Victoria Police, enabling police officers to issue on-the-spot infringement notices carrying a penalty of ten penalty units ($1,652) for individuals and 60 penalty units ($9,913) for bodies corporate. In its submission to the COVID-19 Senate Select Committee, dated 13 May 2020, the Victorian Government reported 43,829 completed COVID-19 police checks, with 2,894 fines and 833 warnings issued.[footnote 208]

Victoria Police have conducted several operations enforcing the directions:

§ Operation Sentinel, to enforce staying at home, restricted activity and isolation directions as per the State of Emergency declaration, involving 1,200 police by July 2020.[footnote 209]

§ Operation Nexus, to enforce health directions over the Easter long weekend.[footnote 210]

§ Operation Ribbon, to respond to family violence.

§ Operation Shielding, redeploying Protective Service Officers.

§ Operation Benessere, implementing the lockdown of nine public housing towers from 4 July.[footnote 211]

Significantly, the Public Health and Wellbeing Regulations 2019 were amended on 22 July, to insert 'fail[footnote ure] to comply with a requirement in relation to face covering' as an infringement offence. It prescribes a $200 penalty for non-compliance.[footnote 212] In line with these regulations, the Premier announced on 20 July that 'the Victorian Government has placed orders for 1.37 million reusable fabric masks from five Victorian manufacturers'.[footnote 213]

People may well understand now why I have been calling for action and our sovereignty since these lockdowns began. :bowing:

Victoria has enacted a state of disaster to enforce coronavirus restrictions. Here's what that means

Snippets:





The minister can "direct any government agency to do or refrain from doing any act, or to exercise or perform or refrain from exercising or performing any function, power, duty or responsibility".

It also gives the Government the power to suspend other Acts of Parliament if it appears it "would inhibit response to or recovery from the disaster".





As well as restricting movement, the legislation allows the minister or her delegates — so police or emergency services — to take possession of any property if it's necessary to respond to the disaster.

I’m getting very scared about what’s happening in Australia for two reasons. One, is that the totalitarian tiptoe is in full swing right across the nation; it’s so very premeditated and appears to have an alternate, sinister intent that has nothing to do with “stopping the spread”. The other, and this is a highly worrying reason, is that most people in Australia are willingly going along with the official narrative and no one is protesting ‘en-masse’, despite, IMO, the desperate need for it right now. In fact, those people who challenge the official narrative are ridiculed by the rest of the population. The bias, and the saturation of compliance messages in the mainstream media and in public spaces, is overwhelming. Very few people I know have shown any real critical thinking over the official narrative despite the obvious incongruences in it. We’re enslaving ourselves, and it scares the hell out of me.

We’re unarmed ( following on from a very ‘fishy’ incident in Port Arthur back in 1996 that brought in swift measures to remove firearms from the public) and public protests are technically illegal nowadays. Financially, many Australians suffer under ludicrously high taxation levels and cost of living expenses, which limit the capability for many of the ‘working poor’ to move out of the big cities such as Melbourne and Sydney where this insanity is perpetuating.

Interestingly, I flew back from Cairns (in Far North Queensland) to Sydney yesterday evening after spending nearly a month in Daintree and the surrounding areas (I really didn’t want to come back!). There is no lockdown in that region, not even any reported cases, and the state of Queensland sealed itself of from NSW and Victoria while I was there. But get this irony: everyone in Queensland needs to ‘sign in’ when they enter any venue and, in the name of the Covid epidemic, people must provide their name, address and contact details. Why? There’s no need for it there. It was an eerie feeling knowing that once I landed in Sydney, I could not re-enter the state of Queensland for an indefinite period. Divide and rule?

But yes, I’m actually feeling very scared about what’s coming. And right now, I feel that there is very little I can do to get clear of the mayhem.

Chief editor of the pro-democracy Chinese Australian newspaper The Tiananmen Times, Frank Ruan Jie, has given a dire warning to Australians.

In this video, Frank goes into detail about the China Communist Party's bio-warfare agenda and how they're using the Belt and Road Initiative to advance their ambitions of ethnic cleansing and global domination.

A personal POV from a Melbourne citizen

"Numb"

ZvxEMgZas2s

Thanks for that Maggie. I don't want to comment on the person interviewed because this is partially her personal account and perspective, I don't know her and my heart goes out to her for her struggles but from my perspective, I feel there is a whole lot more that could have been said.

There is an ever growing number of Australians who are aware of the agreement that the Victorian Government has made with the CCP and the draconian measures taken to keep us "safe". Victorians have been receiving a lot of support from the Eastern side of Australia. There are plans for protests and there is a lot of talk on social media about what is currently happening in Victoria.

Whilst the person interviewed did admit that it was hard to keep up with all the information and updates, there were a few things that were omitted from the discussion.

The COVID death numbers being reported are inaccurate due to the way that the death certificates are being issued. There is a document that has been issued to all Medical practitioners. (https://www.coronerscourt.wa.gov.au/_files/COVID_Medical_Certificate_Cause_Death_Guide.pdf)




Where a person has been tested and confirmed to have COVID-19 and has died of complications associated with the infection, such as myocarditis or pneumonia, then COVID-19 is “assumed” to have contributed to the death and should be recorded on the death certificate.
Where a person is known to have suffered typical symptoms of COVID-19, such as
fevers, cough, or breathing difficulties, during a COVID-19 pandemic, but has not been formally tested or diagnosed, then it is reasonable to “assume” the death was related to COVID-19 and should be recorded on the death certificate.

The reason why so many Victorians tested positive for COVID during the time period the interviewee was referring to where 3000 people were found to be positive was because there was a push by the Victorian government to actively test people in a sizeable number of low socio-economic suburbs over a period of ten days.


Doorknockers reaching nearly 95,000 homes in problem suburbs since a testing blitz began.

This was a snapshot from the time period discussed:

Confirmed cases so far: 11,557
Confirmed active cases: 6,322
Deaths: 123
Suspected cases of community transmission: 1,962
Cases in hospital: 385
Intensive care patients: 38
Cases in healthcare workers: 1,115, (649 active cases)
Active cases linked to aged care outbreaks: 1,053
Tests since pandemic began: More than 1.65 million

Source found here (https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-07-03/victoria-coronavirus-cases-rise-by-66/12419538)

As of the 10th of August, the number of deaths in Australia attributed to COVID have been 313. Of those 313, 228 died in Victoria and of those who died in Victoria, 189 of those people were living in aged care facilities.
The chances that 189 of those people were already suffering from high comorbidities (we suffer from the same high rates of cardiovascular disease, cancer, respiratory disease, diabetes, autoimmune disease as everyone else around the world (https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/the-top-10-causes-of-death)) is likely to have been very high.

I also need to mention that the aged care facilities in Australia for the most part, have not allowed the residents to have visitors and it was only recently that we received a reprieve from the Victorian Government for visitors to be able to visit aged care facility residents without having a flu jab. We won that war only to have stage 4 restrictions bar visiting for all aged care residents!

The aged care faciiities in Australia are woefully inadequate. The nutrition and the standard of care leave a lot to be desired. There is a very large pharmacological presence in these facilities, I've seen friends and family enter only to deteriorate very quickly.

It might also be noted that Victoria has the highest rates of Mercury emissions in Australia (https://environmentvictoria.org.au/2019/04/01/victorian-power-stations-worst-in-the-country-for-toxic-mercury-pollution/)courtesy of our coal mining plants. One of the symptoms of Mercury poisoning is difficulty with breathing and headaches, symptoms being attributed to COVID.

None of this makes any sense to me when you look at the actual death toll figures in that area. I have a growing suspicion there is some sort of evil social experiment going on here. What may work in communist China may not work in the west. So it would be a matter of interest (to 'them') to find out what the limits are, how far they can push things, how much people can take.

Perhaps Australia is the ideal testing ground for this for whatever reason. One could be, an already compromised government, and two, easy test subjects - the people are not armed to resist as they are in the states.

I just posted this over here (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?110506-Covid19-Cui-Bono-Is-there-an-agenda/page22). There is something deeply wrong in Australia, no doubt about it.

I'm in an area of Australia, where except for social distancing in shops, the situation has returned (for now) to fairly normal. O positive case States were going to open their borders to other 0 positive case States and possibly NZ if they stayed 0 positive cases. Some of those plans to reopen without a quarantine period of 14 days isolation have changed since the Victorian outbreak escalated.

I can see the average person or police not "in the know" are acting as they would have to, to prevent spread of an outbreak on any kind of disease designated a "pandemic".
(There will always be exceptions)

The people who are the perpetrators are the ones that need to be "reguided" out of their madness. Otherwise the separation scenario will work out fine. It seems if you mix two different things that are correct within a context parameter, (they are both right) we can see the result. Everyone needs to be "with" everyone else that is not the perpetrators IMHO.

Yesterday I had a conversation with a cousin and some neighbors regarding the situation in Victoria. To my consternation, but not surprise, neither thought the actions of Victoria officials was exaggerated or extreme. Neither expressed concern, sympathy or horror with the overreach of power even when I included the information on China. One of the neighbors almost chanted the Flatten The Curve mantra.

I don't believe either would be upset with officials if these sanctions were to spread to their areas or the entire planet; they would blame high case numbers and welcome it for safety reasons. Such is mind control and unquestioning acceptance from official people on the dependable tv rather than solid facts. This is how it will spread to the rest of the world if we don't find a way stop and reverse it.

Interesting article by formidable FBI statement analyst Peter Hyatt that analyses a short interview on prescribing Hydroxychloroquine that was given by Scott Morrison (Australian Prime Minister) and acting Chief Medical Officer Paul Kelly.

https://statement-analysis.blogspot.com/2020/08/short-interview-on-prescribing-hy.html

Conclusions

Scott Morrison

1. Morrison is uncomfortable with the question about hydroxychloroquine.
2. Morrison demonstrates a need to distance himself from this topic and is likely concealing the reason why.
3. The relationship between Morrison and MP Craig Kelly is not good at this point in time.

Professor Paul Kelly

1. Kelly’s language indicates he is likely not happy with the current settings preventing prescription of hydroxychloroquine.
2. Kelly’s language is indicative of a subject who does not believe his own words.
3. Kelly may be under instruction and restricted on what he is permitted to say.

I’m getting very scared about what’s happening in Australia for two reasons. One, is that the totalitarian tiptoe is in full swing right across the nation; it’s so very premeditated and appears to have an alternate, sinister intent that has nothing to do with “stopping the spread”. The other, and this is a highly worrying reason, is that most people in Australia are willingly going along with the official narrative and no one is protesting ‘en-masse’, despite, IMO, the desperate need for it right now. In fact, those people who challenge the official narrative are ridiculed by the rest of the population. The bias, and the saturation of compliance messages in the mainstream media and in public spaces, is overwhelming. Very few people I know have shown any real critical thinking over the official narrative despite the obvious incongruences in it. We’re enslaving ourselves, and it scares the hell out of me.

We’re unarmed ( following on from a very ‘fishy’ incident in Port Arthur back in 1996 that brought in swift measures to remove firearms from the public) and public protests are technically illegal nowadays. Financially, many Australians suffer under ludicrously high taxation levels and cost of living expenses, which limit the capability for many of the ‘working poor’ to move out of the big cities such as Melbourne and Sydney where this insanity is perpetuating.

Interestingly, I flew back from Cairns (in Far North Queensland) to Sydney yesterday evening after spending nearly a month in Daintree and the surrounding areas (I really didn’t want to come back!). There is no lockdown in that region, not even any reported cases, and the state of Queensland sealed itself of from NSW and Victoria while I was there. But get this irony: everyone in Queensland needs to ‘sign in’ when they enter any venue and, in the name of the Covid epidemic, people must provide their name, address and contact details. Why? There’s no need for it there. It was an eerie feeling knowing that once I landed in Sydney, I could not re-enter the state of Queensland for an indefinite period. Divide and rule?

But yes, I’m actually feeling very scared about what’s coming. And right now, I feel that there is very little I can do to get clear of the mayhem.

Agree with you tigger. The nazi -like behaviour of the government and police is bad enough, but I am also more scared that there appear to be so few people who protest and most fully agree with it, including all my family members who mostly live around Melbourne. My partner and I moved to Western Australia 8 years ago, thank goodness, and we can travel freely here and have no restrictions other than the requirement to maintain social distancing for some reason (with no community transmission here now). The Northern Territory is the same, and there is an open border between NT and WA. However I am fully aware that this could change at any time and the freedom feels very fragile. There are so many travellers heading north to the sun and beaches in WA, and we are just about to join them. While I am looking forward to the open road, I am so sad that most of my friends and family are virtually in prison on the other side of the country. I really don't understand how this can happen so quickly in a country that has been relatively mildly affected by the so-called virus. The only way to make sense of it is to see this as clear evidence of a 'plandemic' backed with very effective social conditioning.

I've been thinking about the 'preppers' recently, the growing movement in the 90s and 2000s that believed things would eventually go sideways, and when that happened they had somewhere to bug out. Lot's laughed at them, I never did. I had hoped it would never get that bad (not in this timeline), but I think the preppers down under are the ones laughing now.

I feel for you Tigger. I have no idea what will happen. Again I hope the end will be positive, but I really can't see how unless the Australian people wake the hell up and fast. Unfortunately history tells us they probably won't until it's too late, until they've lost everything.

One trigger-point incident could be enough to catalyse an awakening however, and begin a groundswell of protest and resistance. And I hope without major loss of life. But something's got to give. It's got to. Revolutions have been started for less than this s**t.

Normally there is an easily identifiable and agreed upon enemy before the revolution begins Star Mariner
Here they have been brilliantly clever.
Anyone against the narrative is portrayed as the enemy.
There is an overwhelming level of propaganda -- the like of which has never been seen before.

The truth is so unbelievable, easier to believe that there is a dangerous virus, some of our members believed this.
Yes people have died but from what could have been seasonal flu -- that kills many.
The difference here is that the "virus" has been relatively kind to healthy people.
The Australian response has been well over the top.
After an easing in UK we will probably see another full lock down -- the hints are there.

I'm not sure they believe they're being brilliantly clever. I think, for this reason and that, they are being desperate. I might be wrong. This could indeed be the opening move of the cabal, who and whatever they are, to impose a worldwide totalitarian technocratic regime. But there is the alternative: this is their last gasp, the final despairing thrust of the dagger into the heart and soul of humanity.

I agree that there has to be an easily identifiable and agreed upon enemy before humanity can en masse fight back, which is why for years and years I've been saying that the mainstream media is the de facto number one enemy of the people. They control what people think, and therefore what they believe, and therefore what they do - or don't do. While they sit pretty as the gatekeepers of information, there will be no awakening and no revolution.

That's the thing though, they're not the sole gatekeepers any more. The rusty hinges on those gates have been dislodged, and the sheeple are marching through into new green pastures. Because they have the internet, the most powerful weapon the world has ever seen. And that is the greatest mistake 'they' ever made - the commercialization of this technology. Had it remained dark, for example, we'd have no chance. PA wouldn't exist, none of us would be having of any of these conversations, or sharing any of this knowledge.

So long as the internet remains, we have every chance. Like the passes over the alps - so long as they remain open, the Ostrogoths will march, slowly but steadily, all the way to Rome.

Mystery cases sends Auckland into lockdown

Four cases of coronavirus located in south Auckland has left NZ health authorities scratching their head as they seek to determine how it was contracted after 102 days without any positive COVID-19 results.

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announced the cases, all from the same family, were not connected to quarantine or overseas travel.

As a result, Ms Ardern introduced a four-day, stage three lockdown in Auckland as the matter was investigated.

This is off-topic but worth making a note of.

New Zealand says it will find a 'win-win' situation in China's Belt and Road strategy





Key points:



New Zealand's leaders made the comments at a China-focused business summit
Wellington has fostered close economic ties with Beijing, including a free-trade agreement
But some have voiced concern about New Zealand's increased reliance on Chinese trade


New Zealand is willing to work with China on its Belt and Road initiative (BRI) and can offer its expertise in areas such as regulation and the environment, its Trade Minister says.

The trade and investment policy — championed by Chinese President Xi Jinping — has become mired in controversy, with some partner nations bemoaning the high cost of projects.

But China's recent efforts to put a greener face on its infrastructure initiative could smoothen ties with some countries.

"It seems more likely that we can find a win-win situation with China, whether it's greening the Belt and Road, or helping address some of the issues… around transparency, or whether it's using our regulatory systems, which are amongst the best in the world," New Zealand Trade Minister David Parker said at an annual China-focused business summit in Auckland.

Mr Parker had travelled to Beijing for the BRI summit in April at which New Zealand had joined Russia and four developing nations to coordinate accounting standards for countries participating in the program.

Here's Australia, which we can admit is not the USA or UK (yet):

https://twitter.com/i/status/1291377943420297228

This epauletted tyrant boasts about smashing windows and pulling people out (presumably across the shattered glass?) so that Patrols can demand to see their papers.

He said he was following the orders of, not a specific law exactly, but the dictates of some Health Commissar.

Governments the world over have arrogated themselves powers they have no right to. They are not slowing their power grabs.

They have treated this bug as if it was unprecedented and unique in its destructive power, which is false. Not just false, but demonstrably false.

Also, we have seen more than enough evidence that government "helpers" have made things worse, and may have contributed to, and even caused, deaths.

Not that this would bother these people one iota. They just want you to understand that you must follow orders and put on the mask, even if your own home. It’s for your own good. So what if there is no evidence of efficacy, and much evidence against it? Do what you’re told.

Regrettably a large contingent of humourless unthinking drones do. The fear and glare in the eyes of the masked as the unmasked approaches them is real. Many WAY too many are sure they’re going to get sick unless you and I wear a mask. And that if they get sick, they will likely die.

They could have merely recommended masks. Most would have worn them, for the fear of many is strong. But Australian governors made it a brand new crime not to wear one, just as it was a crime in many locales to go outside more than once a day during the lockdowns. You are now a criminal for not surrendering to irrational fear. Many Australian agreed, most of them, to these new lasting restrictions.

There is a war on our consciousness.

The evil that is here has not rested for one day. They want to drag us down their timeline.

The psychopaths that run our countries answer only to the dark forces.

What this all means is that the insane elite don't care about our rights at all. The elite don't care about what is legal and what isn't. They made it all up and they control it!

They have overridden the Nurenberg code, the Magna Carta and the Constitutional rights of the people and they have already broken all the laws and covenants around our natural rights for literally forever.

What makes anyone think that an enquiry or a petition is going to make a dent in their plans?

It's got to get beyond petitioning and protesting for our rights; paperwork means literally nothing to these people.

Despite everyone's best efforts to change or stop what is happening over the years, things are getting worse, not better.

The agenda continues to roll on like a freight train. They are not going to stop. If you think like a psychopath does, why would they stop? They are winning the war on our hearts and minds. Psychopaths enjoy the suffering of people. They thrive on our suffering.

As a close friend said to me this morning, "gone is the "totalitarian tiptoe" and in its place is a frantic, insane dash to the finish...
I feel like it can be stopped, but if it isn't, whats currently happening will feel like a vacation."

Robotics have advanced to the point of almost no return.

Think skynet.

It will be 'Artificial Intelligence meets totalitarianism on steriods' if we don't stop what we are doing right now and head in the opposite direction.

And by that, I mean that we need to return to nature. Folks, it is our only chance for thriving.

Those who are awake and aware need to share the crap out of what is currently happening so that the rest of the people can awaken to all of this and help each other to take action.

And by action, I mean that we need to strike at the roots.

And this is where we come into it folks.

There is a saying, "a colony of ants can overpower a snake".

We are so many, they are so few.

We can create a new paradigm together. We just need to put our heads together. We need our brilliant creativity to shine and to collectively come together for the answers we need before it is too late.

There has been a huge grant offered to aged care facilities by our government to support those aged care facilities with patients who have COVID. There has been plenty of incentives here to have the deaths issued as COVID.

Yeh absolutely. It's right up there with,

beating each other up
keeps the peace

Ten years ago I would never have believed in my wildest dreams that any of this crap would fly, not in this modern day and age. Boy was I wrong.

These contradictory slogans are a perfect example of doublethink (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doublethink). The first one they sold us, and people totally bought, was 'diversity is strength'. But it isn't, not really, not when you break it down (which I tried to do here (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?107342-Diversity-is--Not--Strength--Identity-Politics-)). Unity is strength, actually. By emphasizing diverseness you artificially create it, and this then dissolves any bonds of unity that were there before. It's self-defeating.

It's worth copying out here Orwell's definition of doublethink:


The power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one's mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them... To tell deliberate lies while genuinely believing in them, to forget any fact that has become inconvenient, and then, when it becomes necessary again, to draw it back from oblivion for just as long as it is needed, to deny the existence of objective reality and all the while to take account of the reality which one denies—all this is indispensably necessary. Even in using the word doublethink it is necessary to exercise doublethink. For by using the word one admits that one is tampering with reality; by a fresh act of doublethink one erases this knowledge; and so on indefinitely, with the lie always one leap ahead of the truth.

I've sometime ago placed as many of the available Bilderberg meeting notes in the library so these comments attributed to Kissinger (above) ought to be easily verifiable, here (http://avalonlibrary.net/Bilderberg_Group/Bilderberg_meetings/BilderbergConferenceReport1992.pdf)

http://avalonlibrary.net/Bilderberg_Group/Bilderberg_meetings/BilderbergConferenceReport1992.pdf

Cheers Tintin. I couldn't see it in there, but it's quite likely this document only contains what was officially transcribed. I have a doubt that every word spoken at this and other Bilderberg events is completely and officially transcribed. There may well be one transcription for open distribution, another for private use. No one can prove anything of course. But this Kissinger quote is attributed to a recording made by one of the Swiss delegates. We don't have that recording and I've never heard it, and maybe this quote is just an urban myth...

However, theoretically - and spitballing here - I see a small detail that might lend it some further validity. He places his hypothetical military incursion in the city of Los Angeles. Why Los Angeles? Exactly three weeks before this alleged speech in May 1992, the police officers accused of murdering Rodney King were acquitted. Los Angeles then suffered the worst civil disturbance since the Watts riots about 30 years prior iirc. Scanning the rest of those notes, LA is mentioned a number of times in relation to those riots, so with that indeed being officially on the agenda, Kissinger's comment, while not proven, is both logical and credible.

Now your neighbor, New Zealand, perhaps emboldened by Australia's success, is moving to its own draconian measures where people who have "tested" positive will be sent to a camp where their every activity will be monitored. Winston Smith would be right at home tho' he probably wouldn't be much happier.

New Zealand To Put COVID-19 Patients Into Mandatory Quarantine Camps (https://greatgameindia.com/new-zealand-quarantine-camps/)

August 14, 2020

In a move right out of George Orwell’s 1984, New Zealand has announced it would put all COVID-19 patients into mandatory quarantine camps. (https://greatgameindia.com/new-zealand-quarantine-camps/) The Prime Minister of New Zealand has said that your each and every activity will be monitored in these camps and those that refuse to be tested would be forced to stay in the camps for a longer duration.

New Zealand’s Director-General of Health Dr Ashley Bloomfield announced (https://au.news.yahoo.com/coronavirus-new-zealand-extraordinary-quarantine-step-041504031.html) at a press conference that the use of quarantine facilities marks a major departure from how positive cases were managed by health officials when New Zealand was last at level 3, as cases earlier in the year were told to simply self-isolate in their homes.

Dr Bloomfield says the mandatory quarantine will apply to both new cases and, if necessary, close family members who might be at risk.

“[It] shows how serious we are about limiting any risk of ongoing transmission – even in self-isolation and including to others in the household,” he added.


“A reminder, these facilities have been set up specifically and have excellent processes and resources in place to look after people with COVID-19, including health staff on site at all times.

“It will help us avoid any further inadvertent spread into the community as part of our overall response.”


The announcement didn’t say much about how the quarantine would be. However, New Zealand’s Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern in a Facebook live video explained in detail how each and every activity will be monitored in these camps and those that refuse to be tested would be forced to stay in the camps for a longer duration.


We are quarantining everyone. Now we are also mandating testing. That makes us the most stringent in the world. There are countries that are requiring self-isolation; we’re taking it a bit further.

If anyone moves into a common area or is getting some fresh air, which is all monitored no one can do that on their own. They can only leave or be in a space to get a little bit of fresh air if they are supervised, because of course it’s a quarantine facility.

We have put in millions of dollars into supporting that to happen.

I have a number of questions about people refusing – what do we do if someone refuses to be tested. Well they can’t now. If someone refuses in our facilities to be tested, they have to keep staying. So they won’t be allowed to leave after 14 days. They have to stay on for another 14 days.

So, it’s a pretty good incentive. You either get your tests done and make sure you’re cleared or we will keep you in a facility longer. So I think most people will look at it and say I will take the test.


Interestingly, earlier New Zealand’s deputy opposition leader accused the government of stage-managing the outbreak over a week.

1293416213750546432

The announcement come days after Canada’s Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. Barbara Yaffe exposed the uselessness of mandatory mass coronavirus testing (https://greatgameindia.com/mandatory-mass-coronavirus-testing/) warning that it takes resources away from more essential fields and does not “actually achieve anything.”

Shoppers crowd on busy Melbourne strip on Saturday morning

Pictures of a bustling shopping strip in Melbourne, taken this morning, have sparked fears that some Victorians believe the pandemic is already over.

You would be forgiven for thinking there were no stage four restrictions in some parts of Melbourne where people have gathered at busy shopping strips.

Authorities have begged people to stay inside today, as sunny weather hits the Victorian capital.

However, one reporter at Oakleigh in the city’s southwest took pictures showing a bustling pedestrian zone outside a shopping centre this morning.

The images appear to show a lack of social distancing and a group of elderly residents sat together on the strip.

Some Victorians have taken to social media, saying they’re worried today’s good weather and the state’s dropping case numbers will result in Melburnians believing the pandemic is over.

And it gets crazier...

In Queensland it's a crime to take Hydroxychloroquine as a therapy for Covid. You may receive a fine of $1334 for doing so, or 6 months in jail.

A medicine that IS provably safe - used for decades for several ailments - has been made illegal for treatment of covid because it 'allegedly' doesn't work on it. This is next level disturbing. So if someone used say, penicillin for arthritis, would they also be fined or thrown in jail?

From Queensland Government website:
https://www.qld.gov.au/health/conditions/health-alerts/coronavirus-covid-19/current-status/public-health-directions/prescribing,-dispensing-or-supply-of-hydroxychloroquine-direction

This ludicrous assault on Hydroxychloroquine all but proves it's effectiveness at fighting covid. I've thought so for months anyway. It's a huge threat to the plan to roll out mandatory vaccines. Has to be. What else could possibly make sense?

I long for the day when these new world order parasites get kicked out of office. And more than that, thrown behind bars for life. They'd be lucky to get that. Lynch mobs are the alternative.

I don't know what is truly happening here in Victoria. We have been in pretty strict lock down for 3 weeks at this point and it is expected to go on for at least another 3. I'm not really optimistic that this lock down will be ending anytime soon in all honesty.

There has been a strong shaming campaign in our news media in regards to people not wearing masks, doing the 'wrong' thing etc.

I feel like a bit of a pawn but I don't really know what to do to be honest other than meditate, pray and try to keep my focus on higher power. I know people are saying we should not comply but I'm not yet ready to do that. I do believe the virus is real, and that these measures actually do slow the spread but it also feels like there is much more going on than meets the eye.

So for now I wear the mask when I leave the house (which hasn't been much as of late) and vaguely keep an eye on the numbers given to us by our media. We are still in the 200s daily apparently, and from what I have understood they want that number much lower before they will ease restrictions. Hence my lack of optimism.

What to do friends? Not sure, but I enjoy reading what people are posting :)

They have done 2 million tests with 17,000 positive reuslts which is a very small percentage. There have been 334 deaths in Victoria. 75% from aged care homes. ie people in their 80s and 90s. Co-morbidities are not published, so the figures are skewed to generate the most fear to make the population compliant

as for not complying I think it’s too dangerous. the situation is heavily polarised - those who believe what the government says, and follows their regulations unquestioningly. they think that if we all follow the rules, the virus will disappear and we can return to our pre covid lives. These people get extremely angry with anyone who questions the government and lockdown because they are seen as delaying the disappearance of the virus and the return to normality. You don’t want to face the brunt of this anger, even if it is a glare from behind a mask, far worse if you meet someone with a propensity for physical violence. A 75 year old man was seriously assaulted in a shop last week for not wearing a mask even though he had an exemption.

The rebuttal I have received from expressing something similiar has been along the lines of, 'Yeah and that is because of the strict measures. If not for them we would be in the same predicament as the US'. And maybe there is some truth to that, I really don't know.

Yeah it is very polarized and stories like that are sad, but not surprising. If people believe, like you said, that those not complying are the reason why we are still in lockdown, that kind of reaction becomes somewhat understandable.

I do wonder how long people can stay in lockdown for?

The longer this goes on, I suspect most, even those who completely believe what the news media says, will reach their limit.

Aaaand..there Scott Morrison goes taking a step back, saying people overreacted to the "mandatory as possible" comment.

“No one is going to force anybody to do anything as a compulsory measure, but we certainly will encourage people to take this up," he said.

Guess they have to test that water before they dive in.

Update: The writing on the side of the plane says: Spirit of Australia. What my heart felt for the people of Australia upon seeing that....

The intention of these dark forces has been to break our spirits and what they are doing here is symbolic for what they want to do to us.

I have also just been informed that the Vic government has closed down all of the farmers markets in Victoria. I don't know if we fully understand the consequences of this yet.

The WHO advocates a pre-emptive pro-vaccination strategy that psychologically inoculates the population and maximizes uptake of vaccines as they become available [1]. This paper sets out the core elements of such a strategy. The paper explores key issues that relevant organizations must address and summarizes best practices that should be addressed when developing behavioral influence strategies to promote the uptake of COVID-19 vaccines effectively, efficiently, and ethically as they become available.

Thanks for this dreadful report of what is happening down under. What I maybe missed: was the person Jim for any reason considered a ‘superspreader” of C19 for such extreme treatment?

You are in the southern hemisphere flewseason but realize that here in France after the lockdown was lifted in spring on May 11th , the government changed to a heavy scare campaign that the virus is still around and active ( a lie!). The wearing of masks is being ordered, now also outside in the bigger towns like nearby Montpellier. A depressing sight. A citizen has filled a court complaint against that. But the general public is subdued and not informed about the scam it all is. With the phony PCR test they can create an emergency status in any zone in autumn and force it in lockdown again. The suppression could now be directed on the children that may be forced to wear useless and harmful masks to return to school. Terrible.

The young man in your video is right that only pushback in a massive way can help. In courts and in the streets!

For Safety, RIGHT?


Coronavirus Victoria: Plans to extend ‘state of emergency’ for 12 months
Virus-weary Victorians, hoping to be lockdown free next month, have lashed the “Dictator Dan” after he asked for an extension of coronavirus powers.

AUGUST 25, 202010:28AM (https://www.news.com.au/world/coronavirus/australia/coronavirus-victoria-plans-to-extend-state-of-emergency-for-12-months/news-story/fefd4465a64a8804f0164489b42da350)

Victorian Premier Dan Andrews is facing ongoing criticism after revealing he planned to extend his state of emergency declaration for another 12 months.

The declaration, which gives Victoria’s chief health officer Professor Brett Sutton the power to immediately enforce coronavirus measures without parliamentary approval, is due to end next month.

Legislation also restricts state of emergency declarations to a maximum of six months, however Mr Andrews hopes to push this out to 12 months.

Mr Andrews took to Twitter to issue a late night defence of the extension, reminding Victorians that the state of emergency is needed to give the state’s chief health officer the power to enforce coronavirus measures.

1297866859534929920

The extension is due to be debated in State Parliament next week – if Parliament is able to return – however the Premier is already facing a barrage of criticism.

Despite the criticism from Mr Andrews’ political opponents, a former head of the Australian Medical Association disputed the furore.

Dr Tony Bartone, the former head of the AMA, said Victoria needed to find a way to emerge from lockdown safely but the state’s health authorities also needed the authority to enforce measures if necessary.

“It is about having the necessary ability to allow the chief health officer's directives to be enforced,” Dr Bartone told Today.

“But already we are seeing signs in the community, in my patients, that really this is starting to take a toll and we really need to find a way where we can come out of it and live in a post-COVID world until the vaccine comes along, and really it is getting to be a bit of a struggle at the moment out there.

“The chief health officer's directives need that framework to be able to be enforced. With those measures, the mask-wearing, the quarantine, the restriction on gatherings, these have all been important measures that have been able to assist us in getting on top of that.”

Former Victorian Premier Jeff Kennett blasted the extension and said Mr Andrews was a “megalomaniac” attempting a “grab for dictatorial power”.

Victorian Opposition leader Michael O’Brien did the rounds on breakfast TV this morning to lash the Premier.

“I don't believe any politician deserves a blank cheque particularly when we see how tough Victorians are doing it,” Mr O’Brien told Today.

“People have been locked out of jobs, kids locked out of schools. The problem is Daniel Andrews has a plan for lockdown for 12 months but he doesn't have a plan to get us back to work. That’s what Victorians want. We want optimism.”

Mr O’Brien called on the Premier to “justify why these extraordinary powers should be extended”.

“And they certainly shouldn't be extended for 12 months with a stroke of a pen,” he said.

“There is a reason why in law the state of emergency can only exist for six months, and that's because this is the most intrusive circumstances Victorians have ever lived under.

“We have never had a curfew before. We have never seen all the schools closed and told we have to wear masks. When you have these powers, it is important that the politicians are accountable to the people when they use those powers.”


Victoria Lockdown Extended for Full YEAR! (https://thefedupdemocrat.home.blog/2020/08/24/australias-blatant-fascism-gets-worse/)

August 24, 2020 — In Australia the province of Victoria was placed on the hardest COVID lockdown of any western nation thus far for a duration of 6 weeks. I wrote about that in a report titled Australia’s Medical Fasicism on August 5.

Now that lockdown is being extended up to 12 more months! Let’s review what that means:

Cannot travel more than 5 km from your home
Can only leave home to exercise 1 hour per day
Only one person can go shopping per family each day
All shopping is to be done within 5 km
No visitors allowed in your home.
Schooling 100% remote with rare exception
Shutting down all businesses
Shutting down all services
Shutting down all construction
Shutting down all warehouses
Can’t leave Victoria
Global Warming & Resource Depletion

As I reported on August 5, I believe the true goal of this lockdown is demand destruction. Keeping people in place on lockdown will stop consumption of many resources especially oil and gas for travel. As the global elites continue to worry about Global Warming and resource depletion, I believe the lockdowns are the plan they are implementing to address it in secret, using COVID as cover.

Recently on WBAI 99.5fm radio in NYC a young eco-activist was being interviewed. When the COVID lockdown in New York was discussed she was very happy to state, “Everything we did during the lockdown in New York is exactly what environmental activists have been saying we need to do for years!” I believe she inadvertently hit the nail on the head with that statement. There are forces at play that are using COVID as a scapegoat to stop over-consumption as well as strip personal liberties. For more information on this theory read my report The REAL Agenda Behind COVID – DEMAND DESTRUCTION

Additionally Australia is currently facing environmental catastrophe.

The 2020 wild fires, droughts, and resource depletion (especially water depletion) has placed the nation in a very precarious position. The Powers That Be (TPTB) may have decided Australia needs to be brought to a stand-still to avoid the chaos and anarchy that will follow if their systems collapse. When you run out of water, reality gets really real, really quick!

Destruction of Our Liberties

Recently Canadian Constitutional Attorney Rocco Galati was interviewed about COVID lockdowns and was asked about Australia. He believes that country is a trial balloon for the west, and is an easy target because they can legally be ruled by what he called “Parliamentary Supremacy.” That can’t happen in Canada, America, or most European countries because the law-making bodies are not the supreme bodies of their respective countries. For example there cannot be congressional supremacy in the United States because it has been established that it is our Constitution, along with its Bill of Rights, which is the supreme law of the land in our republic.

Galati is absolutely correct. Australia has an easier time of destroying its citizens civil liberties since the citizenry has less to protect it. But paper is just paper. In the US we have a Constitution and a Bill of Rights, but for the past 19 years I have watched our rights erode starting with 9/11, now entering hyper drive in the age of COVID.

Bill Gates is a disgrace. Ad Hominem perhaps, but I think many people are disgusted with this individual, and who he represents. So who are these people, and why are they presuming to tell us all how we must live?
We are seeing the unfoldment of dystopian projections presented in previous years, projections which the mainstream completely rejected as being outright 'Conspiracy Theories', a steady vice-like application of increasingly authoritarian
policy, all predicated on the fear of infection for a medium-grade virus which is not even as deadly as previous influenza epidemics we have been through!
I fully understand that I am stating the obvious here, preaching to the congregation which is already converted. I just wanted to write down, in plain terms what is happening.
This is bad, compulsion for vaccination.

Woman who breached WA coronavirus border by hiding on truck handed six-month jail sentence




A 28-year-old Perth woman who snuck across WA's hard border hidden on the back of a truck has received what is believed to be the toughest penalty handed down for breaching the state's quarantine laws.

She had been in Mildura, in regional Victoria, when she asked the driver to give her a lift to Perth.

The Perth Magistrates court was told Vander Sanden did have an exemption allowing her to fly to Perth, but was told that after she arrived she would have to quarantine in a hotel for 14 days at her own expense.


Police prosecutor Ian McDowall said after crossing the border, Vander Sanden was taken to a service station in Midland where she rang her partner and asked him to collect her.

Police tried to locate her, but Senior Constable McDowall said she failed to disclose her whereabouts.

She was arrested at a unit in Scarborough about 10 days after her arrival in the state, and has spent the past fortnight in quarantine while in custody.

For Safety, RIGHT?


Coronavirus Victoria: Plans to extend ‘state of emergency’ for 12 months
Virus-weary Victorians, hoping to be lockdown free next month, have lashed the “Dictator Dan” after he asked for an extension of coronavirus powers.

Now that lockdown is being extended up to 12 more months! Let’s review what that means:

Cannot travel more than 5 km from your home
Can only leave home to exercise 1 hour per day
Only one person can go shopping per family each day
All shopping is to be done within 5 km
No visitors allowed in your home.
Schooling 100% remote with rare exception
Shutting down all businesses
Shutting down all services
Shutting down all construction
Shutting down all warehouses
Can’t leave Victoria
Global Warming & Resource Depletion

No visitors allowed in your home. your partner is allowed to visit if you live apart

Shutting down all businesses - many businesses are still running. non food shops on a click and collect basis
Shutting down all services - not all services are shut down - dentists, doctors, physiotherapists chiropractors are still operating
Shutting down all construction - construction is still operating with reduced workers determined by size of site

that's not to ignore the scores of shopping precincts with shutdown businesses and myriad for lease signs

500,000 to End the Vic Lockdown & celebrate freedom
Schedule · Saturday, September 5, 2020 (in UTC+10)
12:00 PM - 10:00 PM (https://www.facebook.com/events/2387245494902553)

The Andrews government must be made accountable for overseeing the biggest public health disaster in Australian history.
500,000 Australians shall declare the END of the state of emergency, DEMAND a SUSTAINABLE solution from our leaders and ANSWERS to these questions:
- How many businesses are bankrupt?
- How many mortgages can't be paid?
- How many people are homeless?
- How many people are suffering from domestic violence?
- How many people are experiencing marriage breakdowns?
- How many people have committed suicide?
How much are we going to have to pay for all of this destruction Dan Andrews has caused?
Dan Andrews - Get out of our lives. We can manage our own well-being.
---------------------
"On 16 March 2020, the Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews announced a State of Emergency had been declared across Victoria to combat the spread of COVID-19."
"This State of Emergency was extended on 19 July, and ends at 11.59pm on 16 August 2020. Further State of Emergency declarations may be made for further periods of four weeks, up to a maximum total period of six months."
"Mr Andrews said the extension of the state of emergency until September 13 would ensure authorities could enforce restrictions."
Daniel Andrews...
Times up...!
---------------------
Daniel Andrews has a bad habit of shirking responsibility. The Labor Premier introduced a COVID-19 curfew for all of Victoria.
He shows NO REMORSE for what he and his team of incompetent ministers have done.
There is NO PUBLIC APOLOGY for the outbreak of COVID-19 in Victoria. There is NO ADMISSION FOR ERROR in the hotel quarantine disaster, its failure to conduct rigorous testing or its rejection of ADF help that could have prevented the pandemic’s second wave.
The ARROGANCE of Andrews and his team has resulted in PREVENTABLE DEATHS, the DESTRUCTION of small businesses and BILLIONS more in DEBT.
Dan Andrews said -- “I would not let my mum be in some of these places. I just wouldn’t.”
As families loved ones are left dying in aged-care are feeling hopeless — Andrews uploads an image posing with his son in a bid to win some votes back.
The government's job is to look after those that cannot look after themselves. He couldn’t even do that.
A $3 million, taxpayer funded “arms-length inquiry” will not hold anyone accountable.
AND THE CHERRY ON TOP! — Daniel Andrews is working with the state’s solicitor-general to introduce new legislation and amendments to allow authorities to extend the state of emergency indefinitely!
The chief medical officer was granted emergency powers for an additional four weeks, until September 13, pushing it to the six-month legal limit.
All of Australia will pay for Daniel Andrews’ failure in Victoria, but many Victorians seem reluctant to hold their government accountable.
UNTIL NOW!

“I was the greatest threat the Continuum had ever known. They feared me so much they had to [sic] lock me away for eternity. And when they did that, they were saying, that the individual’s rights were being protected only so long as they don’t conflict with the state. Nothing is so dangerous to a society.”

- “Q”. Star Trek Voyager, S2E18.


Years ago, the world imposed trade sanctions on South Africa in condemnation of that country’s blatant abuse of human rights. Similarly, the UN expressed it’s outrage at Somalia in 1992, North Korea in 2006, Libya and others, although one may argue that the situation in Australia does not involve apartheid, not civil war, nor the proliferation of nuclear weapons. Agreed. In Australia, human rights are systematically being trampled roughshod in the name of medical totalitarianism.

The situation in Australia right now is, in my view, far more insideous and sinister than an open act of aggression against its people, although the time may well be approaching when we witness something similar. In the meantime our nation has effectively suspended the constitution in the state of Victoria, and is tiptoeing towards imposing the same authoritarian and totalitarian control across the nation. Nowhere else in the world at this time is there such a blatant move towards what is effectively mass house arrest.

The validity of the whole C19 argument is highly questionable and has been largely debunked, although this narrative continues to be promulgated to justify acts of state-sponsored terrorism against the Australian people. Many Australians are beginning to wake up to this nonsense and question the official rhetoric. But not most. At least, not yet.

When was the last time we imposed this type of ‘lockdown’ either in this country or anywhere else in response to an influenza virus?

Did we respond this way to, say, the Spanish flu? It killed millions.
How about SARS 1.0 in 2003? Where were the lockdowns then?
What about the avian flu of 2007? (Incidentally there’s a current outbreak in Victoria at the time of this writing. See https://smallcaps.com.au/bird-flu-hits-victoria-impacting-farm-pride-egg-farms/ )
Did we execute lockdowns to prevent the spread of the swine flu in 2009?
How about the seasonal (common) flu? Why aren’t we going into lockdown every year over that?


No, something’s clearly out of place. But, I lament, there’s an even bigger problem than that.

The Australian people are beginning to realise that this little ‘fiasco’ is not what it seems; they’ve been shown evidence that their own government has forsaken them, and (in Victoria) they’re now being patrolled by aerial police drones. And still they’re doing nothing to stop or oppose it.

As much as I watch in absolute astonishment over what is transpiring in this nation, I cannot see the majority of Australians as anything other than part of the problem. Sorry.

The American people wouldn’t stand for this. Like them or loath them, they recognise their constitutional rights and fight to protect them. In doing so, they’ve attracted international attention.

Look at Hong Kong. Those brave people are opposing a highly oppressive regime, and they’ve succeeded in giving the CCP a moment of pause. They might not have ‘won’ yet, but they putting a serious ‘spanner in the works’ into China’s relentless erosion of public freedoms. And they’ve attracted international attention.

And the Australians? We complain and grumble amongst ourselves a lot, but we certainly haven’t demonstrated any courage to tell a corrupt government system that enough is enough. Unless we do that, we’re abrogating our civil freedom. Our civil liberties are under serious threat and once they’re gone, they won’t be coming back. There’s little international attention because we’re not making enough noise.

Incidentally this isn’t the first time the Australian people have seen civil liberties eroded. So I decided to do a little research on the Australian Government’s own websites, particularly www.humanrights.gov.au, and www.humanrights.vic.gov.au. Imagine my surprise when I read the following:

“However, Australia does not have a national Human Rights Act. This means that many core human rights and freedoms may not be adequately protected and promoted at a federal level and there is an inconsistent level of protection across Australian states and territories.”

Well, we’re certainly seeing that right now.

Somebody once said to me, “Have you noticed that the boats aren’t leaving Australia? We’re one of the lucky countries.” A neat sentiment perhaps, but the key word here is ‘lucky’. You don’t secure lasting peace by being complacent and ‘lucky’. You don’t ensure the integrity of your own government (that you pay for!) by apathy, acquiescence, grumbling and hoping that one day you will get ‘lucky’ and ‘escape to greener pastures’. You only secure and maintain you civil liberties by keeping your government in-check. That could either be achieved (in this case) by unpleasantness, or by everyone en-masse refusing to cooperate with the system until it collapses under it’s own excrement. Perhaps it might need a little bit of both.

I focus on Australia and the surrounding regions in particular because this seems to be the place where globalists are enforcing technocratic policies first. Or at the very least, they are test-running their strategy and using Australians as guinea pigs. When the ASPI says they plan to keep the pandemic changes in place well after the virus is gone, they aren't just talking about shifting into a digital economy.

Right now, Australia and New Zealand are slamming citizens with perhaps the most draconian measures yet in the Western world. These are policies that the elites want to introduce everywhere, but they are going full bore in Australia, and it just keeps getting worse.

It's a bloody miracle that we are all still here.

That is a comprehensive list!! I appreciate the way you are able to see the bad but live in the good. Last Sunday in the US there was a gathering of people in Utah to speak for their rights. Del Bigtree's speech warmed my heart because he talked about what is TRUE. We are made in the likeness and image of God. That means that we have the qualities of God. I feel that is the case but to access these qualities we have to be CONNECTED.

I cannot help but think that the POINT of our lives is to connect to God. That is different from religion. People can make a religion and declare a god (such as what he called out as the religion of Scientism but it could be a religion worshipping any kind of "ISM") and worship that god. BUT that does not make it the true God. IMO it is very telling that the CCP and all tyrants try to shut down the spiritual avenues so people will not CONNECT.

I have deeply contemplated through my whole life the issue of "free will". I have noticed all the ways we are beat down with how puny and hopeless, hapless and bad we are describd to be. We are traumatized and battered even when the people in our lives meant better but THEY were also traumatized and beat down. It goes on and on......

What I see is that the intent is always to allow us to rise a little and think that we are "free" as a civilization and then CRUSH us. When we are BEAT back down, I think that supplies a juicy feast for the destroyers.

Only when we each develop the true relationship to God are we able to be aware that no matter what happens, we are already free. That is not about the world but our inner being. It is so paradoxical that when we are at the "lowest" point we can sometimes THEN connect. One knows and that starts a different kind of unfolding.

So, I am not sure what will happen. I KNOW we have a finite moment on earth. I know we have to keep standing and when you stand in KNOWING your greater being, you are not afraid to die (which is the biggest stick held over us: that we will be physically killed). WE ARE Individual and fractally god WHEN we know that we are. We KNOW we cannot be killed. Maybe through all the long historic battering, this was the main message we needed to understand?

That is not to say we should just "take" the battering. It does say to me that we must at all times never doubt that we are designed to be whole, to be free and that if we stoop to be a bully to save ourselves or hurt others to bargain with our fear, we will come around back to the same starting point. Maybe metaphorically we are living in a state of purgatory of some sort? I don't know that but it feels like purging is involved. Purging all illusions concerning what comprises "lack", "power", "importance" and "scarcity" for instance.

I cannot like the idea that I partcipated in this sorry picture but I also choose to be a loving being and refuse to be a contributor to others pain. It seems paramount to seek the truth. I seek to lose ignorance and dispel my own "illusions".

So MANY kinds of illusion... like the one that says we are "less than". Self denigration is where we "are" as a collective. Like the idea that there are too many people and that we must all disappear to save the planet. Always the message is broadcast that we are "nothing much" or worse.

Maybe we will suffer, Not knowing the CONNECTION, no clue about who we are and acting out the hell of this ignorance... until we truly RISE. I listen to the last 43 minutes in the video and feel the inspiration. I love that he shares a message I understand too.

DCMO slaps down MP's hydroxychloroquine push
By 9News Staff
4:05pm Aug 28, 2020

Australia's Deputy Chief Medical Officer Dr Nick Coatsworth has rejected MP Craig Kelly's push for hydroxychloroquine, saying the drug simply does not benefit COVID-19 patients.

"I think Australians are very clear on which Kelly should be listened to and that's (Acting Chief Medical Officer Dr) Paul Kelly," Dr Coatsworth said.

"And Paul Kelly, like myself, like all clinicians around Australia, understand that regrettably hydroxychloroquine is not effective for COVID-19."

Dr Coatsworth pointed out that billionaire Clive Palmer had donated tonnes of hydroxychloroquine early in the pandemic crisis, when it was still thought it might help patients.

"There are no circumstances where we would sit on that much hydroxychloroquine if it were useful for COVID-19, we would be giving it to patients," he said.

The World Health Organisation has pulled hydroxychloroquine from one of its coronavirus trials, which Dr Coatsworth said only happened in the case of incontrovertible evidence.

Mr Kelly said in Parliament that "groupthink" was preventing the use of hydroxychloroquine in treating COVID-19 patients.

But Dr Coatsworth was unequivocal.

"Regrettably, hydroxychloroquine is not the answer," he said.

Clinical trial looks to protect high-risk healthcare workers against COVID-19




Tuesday 11 August 2020

Healthcare workers are part of the first line of defence in today’s fight against COVID-19. But as this global virus continues to spread, the demands on our medical sector are becoming greater, and riskier, than ever.

St Vincent’s Hospital Melbourne (SVHM) is playing a pivotal role in an Australian-led clinical trial to determine whether hydroxychloroquine can protect healthcare workers from contracting COVID-19 while caring for COVID-positive patients.

The COVID SHIELD Clinical Trial is a collaborative project led by the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research, in partnership with human data science company IQVIA and various healthcare providers across the country, including SVHM, which is a screening site for the trial and has been heavily involved in the design of the study.

Associate Professor Mandana Nikpour, one of COVID SHIELD’s lead principal researchers and a consultant rheumatologist at SVHM, says during the pandemic hundreds of thousands of healthcare workers have been infected worldwide, demonstrating the value, need and urgency of this clinical trial that focuses on prevention rather than cure.

When the trial started in June, more than 10 per cent of COVID-19 cases in Australia were linked to healthcare workers. In the second wave of infections in Victoria, more than 1000 healthcare workers have been infected.

“For every healthcare worker who is infected, quite a few then have to be tested, or go into self-isolation for two weeks. This has had an impact on the physical and mental health of healthcare workers, as well as an impact on the workforce we have available to undertake frontline duties,” A/Prof Nikpour says.

What we know so far

The randomised, gold-standard clinical trial will see half the participants given hydroxychloroquine tablets, while the other half will receive placebo tablets over the course of four months.

Hydroxychloroquine is commonly used in the treatment of lupus and rheumatoid arthritis. Having used the drug to successfully treat patients with both these conditions, A/Prof Nikpour says initial findings indicate hydroxychloroquine could potentially help us get on the front foot in the fight against COVID-19, where healthcare workers are concerned.

“In the test-tube, hydroxychloroquine reduces the replication of SARS Coronavirus 2, which is the COVID-19 virus, by about 90 percent,” she explains.

“When you are very sick or ventilated in hospital you have a lot of inflammatory molecules causing collateral damage to organs, and it is not possible at that point to intervene with a drug like hydroxychloroquine. However, hydroxychloroquine could potentially reduce the risk of COVID-19, if taken prior to exposure to the virus, that is, as ‘pre-exposure prophylaxis’ or ‘PrEP’.”

During the trial, participants will regularly report, via an electronic data-capture platform, any COVID-19 symptoms they may be experiencing and whether they have been tested for the virus or been diagnosed with it.

“They also get smartphone alerts daily to remind them to take their medication and monitor their progress, including any side effects. The eDiary also checks whether they have had contact with anyone who has tested COVID-positive,” A/Prof Nikpour

Clinical trial looks to protect high-risk healthcare workers against COVID-19




Tuesday 11 August 2020

Healthcare workers are part of the first line of defence in today’s fight against COVID-19. But as this global virus continues to spread, the demands on our medical sector are becoming greater, and riskier, than ever.

St Vincent’s Hospital Melbourne (SVHM) is playing a pivotal role in an Australian-led clinical trial to determine whether hydroxychloroquine can protect healthcare workers from contracting COVID-19 while caring for COVID-positive patients.

The COVID SHIELD Clinical Trial is a collaborative project led by the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research, in partnership with human data science company IQVIA and various healthcare providers across the country, including SVHM, which is a screening site for the trial and has been heavily involved in the design of the study.

Associate Professor Mandana Nikpour, one of COVID SHIELD’s lead principal researchers and a consultant rheumatologist at SVHM, says during the pandemic hundreds of thousands of healthcare workers have been infected worldwide, demonstrating the value, need and urgency of this clinical trial that focuses on prevention rather than cure.

When the trial started in June, more than 10 per cent of COVID-19 cases in Australia were linked to healthcare workers. In the second wave of infections in Victoria, more than 1000 healthcare workers have been infected.

“For every healthcare worker who is infected, quite a few then have to be tested, or go into self-isolation for two weeks. This has had an impact on the physical and mental health of healthcare workers, as well as an impact on the workforce we have available to undertake frontline duties,” A/Prof Nikpour says.

What we know so far

The randomised, gold-standard clinical trial will see half the participants given hydroxychloroquine tablets, while the other half will receive placebo tablets over the course of four months.

Hydroxychloroquine is commonly used in the treatment of lupus and rheumatoid arthritis. Having used the drug to successfully treat patients with both these conditions, A/Prof Nikpour says initial findings indicate hydroxychloroquine could potentially help us get on the front foot in the fight against COVID-19, where healthcare workers are concerned.

“In the test-tube, hydroxychloroquine reduces the replication of SARS Coronavirus 2, which is the COVID-19 virus, by about 90 percent,” she explains.

“When you are very sick or ventilated in hospital you have a lot of inflammatory molecules causing collateral damage to organs, and it is not possible at that point to intervene with a drug like hydroxychloroquine. However, hydroxychloroquine could potentially reduce the risk of COVID-19, if taken prior to exposure to the virus, that is, as ‘pre-exposure prophylaxis’ or ‘PrEP’.”

During the trial, participants will regularly report, via an electronic data-capture platform, any COVID-19 symptoms they may be experiencing and whether they have been tested for the virus or been diagnosed with it.

“They also get smartphone alerts daily to remind them to take their medication and monitor their progress, including any side effects. The eDiary also checks whether they have had contact with anyone who has tested COVID-positive,” A/Prof Nikpour

Australian port sold for $7.3 billion to consortium; China fund among backers
Cecile Lefort, Byron Kaye
BUSINESS NEWSSEPTEMBER 19, 2016 / 12:53 PM / 4 YEARS AGO




SYDNEY (Reuters) - A consortium of global and domestic funds, backed by investors including China Investment Corp, agreed to buy Australia’s busiest port for a higher-than-expected A$9.7 billion ($7.3 billion), a sign that tough equity markets are helping fuel appetite for infrastructure.


Australian leaders will also hope the deal shows they still welcome Chinese investment in infrastructure. The federal government last month blocked the sale of the country’s biggest power network, Ausgrid, to state-owned State Grid Corp of China and Hong Kong-listed Cheung Kong Infrastructure Holdings on security concerns.

The price tag for Port of Melbourne fell short of the country’s largest privatization deal on record, the A$10.8 billion sale of electricity grid company Transgrid to a global consortium in November 2015, but still ranks among its biggest.

It also smashes the target set by the government of Victoria state which previously said it hoped for A$5.8 billion for the container and multi-cargo port. In 2013, the two ports of larger city Sydney fetched A$5 billion.

Sovereign wealth funds and other asset managers are seeking long-term investment opportunities amid weaker returns from some equity markets and lower bond yields.

“Equity markets are starting to realise that they’re going to live in an environment where returns are going to be lower for longer, and they’re looking for secure investments,” Victoria Treasurer Tim Pallas said in a telephone interview.

Clive Palmer's NT team both slams and supports party behind Darwin port lease to China


snippet in relation to the Melbourne Port:




UAP's candidate for Solomon Raj Rajwin, who has run previously under different names for different parties in both the NT and Darwin Council elections, gave a long, at-times rambling defence of why he stood by UAP's policy against the Darwin port lease.

"Look the [major parties'] agenda — they want to sell this thing, they want to sell other things, they want to sell everything," Mr Rajwin said.

"But I [have] never seen where they will start earning money."


In a promotional video on his candidate Facebook page titled "China Control", Mr Rajwin said: "China controls Port Darwin, Newcastle Port, Melbourne Port, Port Cape Preston Western Australia. Whoever controls our ports controls what we export and to who."

More than 40 other UAP candidates running for seats across the country have recorded the same video.

The UAP was predicted to spend tens of millions on advertising during this election campaign, and its social media channels feature several videos focused on sovereignty with titles like "Fuel Reserves: Australia must prevail over foreign powers".

If anyone on FB, publicly encourages anyone to go for a walk, this is now seen as "incitement". The police have been hunting down, harrassing and intimidating, and even arresting people for the mere mention of the word walk. We don't have to even act upon our intention to go for a walk for us to be charged with incitement. Just stating it on FB is enough.

I watched a video yesterday, where a guy was sharing how he had been arrested for sharing on FB, a poster of the protest being held on the 5th of September. He looked so defeated and demoralised. These are innocent, good hearted people.

And another gentleman, who in addition to being heavily fined and arrested, had all his electronic data confiscated; I mean the poor soul would have to have been in his mid to late seventies! Just your average granddad speaking out.

I guess that even advertising a protest has now been deemed as incitement because the current lockdown under the emergency act ends on the 13th of September.

As the ego drive for control brings in a new world order of advanced technologies that track, surveil and entrain an increasingly distanced and traumatized global population, is there a larger process at work?

Are we undergoing a spiritual emergency that presages the emergence of something new?

Can we acknowledge the world grief of our unsustainable civilization’s collapse?

Are we in a planetary ceremony right now, facing our egos, our traumas, and our shadow?

And can we let go of blame, control and division to come together with a unified vision for a new way of being?

I think this video relates to a time back at the beginning of July when 3,000 public housing tenants were placed for two weeks (without notice) under hard lockdown in two of the inner northern suburbs of Melbourne. At one stage, I remember people not being allowed to bring food to their loved ones until there was a public outcry.

I recognised that it was the public housing flats because whilst I've never visited those particular buildings on the North side, there are many of these flats sprinkled across metro Melbourne and all the public housing flats look exactly the same.

What I am thinking about is the way that right now, the Pacific states in the US are the most "infiltrated" by an agenda to destroy the country IMO. Oahu Hawaii has the most extreme lockdown, California is harsh. Many are leaving California. Property values will be very challenged. Western Canada is a Chinese stronghold.

I think the CCP is on the march and that the politicians have been coerced by carrots and sticks (including blackmail?). The thing about Chinese investment is that it is the wedge of the invasion. IMO this is already WAR. How do we fight such a WAR?

Other than doing internal work, I have NO CLUE about what to do. I am not on any political side. ALL seem to be part of the game. Protest seems to be futile. Guns won't work IMO. I am sad about the appearance of the world.

I will keep trying to detox from obsessive searching for a "mundane answer" of what to "do". That is so hard. Part of me still thinks that there is an answer "out there" about what we should "do". I am not afraid to die and I will also appreciate the GOOD in my life right now.

I pray that you (all of you there) and all of us are in peace and plenty and freedom and harmony.

Bat**** Crazy Solihin Millin arrested (https://allaboutantivaxxers.wordpress.com/2020/08/28/bat****-crazy-solihin-millin-arrested/)
1 Reply
And no surprise – the loyal cult followers are up in arms!

The term “Bat**** crazy” aren’t my words by the way. They were the rightful words of Victoria’s Deputy Police Commissioner Luke Cornelius. And you can see here the source of his remark.

https://allaboutantivaxxers.files.wordpress.com/2020/08/millin-aa.png

It is plain that the Deputy Commissioner was given a brief of the contents of Millin’s desktop. This will undoubtedly include his High Court paperwork and the other material I have reviewed previously on this blog. After seeing that brief, Luke knew that Millin was a total nutcase. Not to mention this;

https://allaboutantivaxxers.files.wordpress.com/2020/08/millin-ab.png

So all of Millin’s rantings were recorded as well. This adds to the genuine truth behind the Deputy Commissioner’s comment.

Millin’s arrest is for organising the September 5 Freedom Protest in Melbourne – for inciting others into committing a criminal act. Under the State of Disaster, restrictions are in place that are enforceable by criminal law. Flouting those restrictions by themselves is a criminal act and warrants the minimum of a fine – whether it be $200 for not wearing a mask without a lawful reason or the higher fines. Demanding an end to the lockdown instantly for one’s freedom is not an option. Our freedom was removed by a deadly disease called COVID-19 – something that Millin believes doesn’t exist because it hasn’t been isolated. It has been isolated – it is impossible to have a vaccine at the human trial stage (it’s actually more than one) without such an isolation. Millin is only saying that because of his long held demented view about vaccines in general and he doesn’t want this one any more than any of the others.

His followers are just as nuts and it wouldn’t surprise me if there was a brief on Millin’s Facebook timeline and the comments on there as well. I mean look at some of these gems! (continued here (https://allaboutantivaxxers.wordpress.com/2020/08/28/bat****-crazy-solihin-millin-arrested/))

The entire time I was watching his video, I was thinking of the advice the lawyer offered in the video below. However, I think Sol was anticipating his arrest, had a conviction of the heart, sounded very confident about how to approach the whole situation and as he said, he welcomed it.

The cynic in me says that for something as important as this, the way it pans out will not be through deliberation, debate, or reason, or even actual politics, but by who and how many strings are being pulled (by controllers) - meaning who and how many are susceptible to bribes, or susceptible to threats, meaning who or how many have committed criminal, possibly sexual, activity, and possibly with minors, on video tape, with those video tapes being held over them as leverage when it comes to policy or passing legislation. Usually the ones who have the most tapes, or the worst tapes, end up being the most loyal, the most pliant, and therefore end up having (being given) the most power.

Lockdown extension bill destroyed by David Limbrick MP

2nd September 2020, 00:12
Coronavirus state of emergency extension passes Victorian Parliament's Upper House




A law change to extend Victoria's state of emergency has passed the state's Upper House, paving the way for its passage through Parliament.

The six-month extension is half the length of the Government's original proposal, which was doomed to fail in the Upper House, where the Government does not have a majority.

After a marathon late-night sitting through Tuesday night and into Wednesday morning, the bill passed — without amendments — 20 votes to 19 at 1:56am.

Its success was assured after Greens MP Samantha Ratnam returned to Parliament while on maternity leave to vote in favour of the amendments.

"Obviously, I wasn't intending to be here this week because I'm still on maternity leave but I felt like this decision that we have before us in the Parliament was just too important for the health and wellbeing of Victorians," she said.

"The Greens have always backed the public health-led response to the pandemic."

The proposed change also won the backing of Animal Justice Party MP Andy Meddick and Reason Party MP Fiona Patten.

Both said they had been targeted by aggressive abuse in the lead-up to the vote.

"I have never experienced this type of aggression against me in such a personal, sometimes sexual way," Ms Patten said.

"This is not about a lockdown. This is about ensuring that if someone has COVID, they stay isolated. This is ensuring that if a cafe opens up, they have a clear plan of how to social distance."

Extending the state of emergency allows legally binding health directives to be issued by the Chief Health Officer after September 13, when the current state of emergency ends.

The extension does not mean existing restrictions will stay in place.

The Government will need to justify continuing the extension each month.


Health Minister Jenny Mikakos told Parliament that a failure to extend the state of emergency would mean "we would literally fall off a cliff".

"We will create public health anarchy," she said.

However, the Opposition criticised the Government's failure to act sooner and to allow more time for debate and details to be worked out.

"This is driven by the Premier's lust and love for power," the Opposition's David Davis said.

"It's driven by the Premier's determination to keep the state closed down."

Liberal MP Bernie Finn said Mr Andrews "wants to keep mothers from daughters" and "sons from fathers".

Mr Andrews will announce a plan to move the state out of stage 4 restrictions on Sunday.

The plan will comprise two separate "roadmaps" — one for Melbourne, and another for country Victoria.

As David Icke said, all you really need for fascism to work is the acquiescence of the people. Not only to work but flourish. The genius part is, that initially the people don't know it's fascism, not until it's too late.

And then afterwards, when the carnage has run it's course and the people have lost everything, the perennial get out clause: "but, but we didn't know..." And "We were only following orders..."

What's that saying? 'There is nothing new under the sun.'

Thanks for all your work here Constance -
I agree with you from post #120 - talking with the police is never to one's benefit.

I fear Sol's hubris may be his undoing - he has confessed. He should have kept his mouth shut and dealt with it administratively before his day in court.

For anyone encountering similar situations, I can not stress strongly enough -

If given an 'official' directive, stay in the question: Am I required to do that? Do you have a warrant/ court order/etc? Am I being detained?
Am I free to go? Do not argue or resist.

Then if compelled to act, simply state: Under force and duress/ threat of harm, I will comply with your directives.

If forced to sign any document, write V.C. before the signature - short for Vi Coactus (Latin for having been forced/ compelled/ coerced)

If they issue a ticket, just take it and deal with it later.

There is a strong community of Aussies well versed in how to deal with these scenarios after the fact - The 'know your rights' crew is just one of several.

Refusing to comply/ arguing / resisting - will not end well

This is just unreal.... A facebook post where the poster said she was going on a walk and the police show up to intimidate her in case she was arranging to meet others?



If anyone on FB, publicly encourages anyone to go for a walk, this is now seen as "incitement". The police have been hunting down, harrassing and intimidating, and even arresting people for the mere mention of the word walk. We don't have to even act upon our intention to go for a walk for us to be charged with incitement. Just stating it on FB is enough.

I watched a video yesterday, where a guy was sharing how he had been arrested for sharing on FB, a poster of the protest being held on the 5th of September. He looked so defeated and demoralised. These are innocent, good hearted people.

And another gentleman, who in addition to being heavily fined and arrested, had all his electronic data confiscated; I mean the poor soul would have to have been in his mid to late seventies! Just your average granddad speaking out.

I guess that even advertising a protest has now been deemed as incitement because the current lockdown under the emergency act ends on the 13th of September.



https://www.findlaw.com.au/articles/4516/what-is-incitement-and-how-is-it-a-criminal-offenc.aspx

Does anyone else note the similar smirk and swagger of these police peoles? The first incident I saw of the woman who fought with the policeman when she had no mask on showed the guy PROUD to give his number to the filming witness.

Bumping this as "incitement" is seeming to be a new and dangerous way to "legally" imprison people who speak out through media channels. Maybe there needs to be a new kind of coded speech.

In the states, the roll out of a plan to shut down will be one state at a time (Valerie said that on another post). People need to come together before being locked down. Maybe we need passenger pigeons? Now that the internet is just about the only way to communicate, we need to SHUN facebook and other sites monitored. But then where? places like PA are valuable (as in would it be incitement to post here)?.

I am saving for a newer auto but giving my 25 US dollars today to the forum as a sign of intention that we be able to establish effective ways to share information we need.

This case seemed so unbelievable to me that I wondered momentarily if perhaps it was all staged by some group who wanted overnight to make Australians furious.
Not knowing much about Australia, I would have to yield to members here who live there as to whether my imagining was totally far-fetched.
But if the video above with the policeman is not also staged, then I guess reality in Australia has gone more surreal than I ever could have imagined.
I think there is going to have to be a new term dreamed up to describe the kind of culture shock people are experiencing these days.

I have personally maintained from the outset that the shutdown is about an inevitable financial reset - not a flu.

I fully expect another global shutdown and the form of transition to a new system will depend on the input and involvement of every one of us (or lack of).
It seems fairly obvious what form the cabal would like it to take.

I note also that this level of trespass on people's rights seems to be what's needed for many to take action,
and cynically observe that others will just never get it.

We already have one successful example in Iceland where they kicked the IMF out of the country, jailed the corrupt bankers and politicians

Measures taken against the virus are worse than the cure according to these doctors, and their numbers are growing.

Some folks are even starting to hint that the negative effects of the lockdown are part of the greater plan.


“The medical, psychological and social costs of the lockdown are disproportionately enormous compared to the limited good being done by current policies,” it stated.


https://twitter.com/o_rips/status/1302118410474512384



MELBOURNE, Australia, September 3, 2020 (LifeSiteNews)

— Thirteen top doctors in the Australian state of Victoria urged Premier Dan Andrews earlier this week to end what they denounced as an “unjustifiable” state of emergency.

In an open letter sent Monday to the Labour leader, the doctors blasted the state’s coronavirus lockdown as causing “unprecedented negative economic and social outcomes and negative health outcomes,” the U.K. Daily Mail reported.

The letter had contributions from urologists, psychiatrists and surgeons and warned against extending the state of emergency, stating it was “vital” that the state’s extreme stage four restrictions be lifted September 13 as scheduled.

“The medical, psychological and social costs of the lockdown are disproportionately enormous compared to the limited good being done by current policies,” it stated.

The doctors also asked Andrews to allow parliament “to openly discuss and debate appropriate medical plans to manage the current COVID-19 crisis” — particularly given the new knowledge of how the virus works and a sharp decline in COVID-19 deaths.

“Stage 3-4 lockdowns for the whole community have continued for no apparent scientific reason,” the letter states.

“We now know that whilst COVID-19 is highly contagious, it is of limited virulence.”

For people “who are physically well and under 60 years of age, the mortality risk is extremely low. Contrary to what you have said, Mr. Andrews, the virus DOES discriminate,” the doctors added.

“Ordinary sensible people if properly informed should inevitably conclude that the current government policy is ill focused, heavy-handed, and unjustifiable as a proportionate response to the risks posed by COVID-19 to the public’s health.”

However, despite these pleas, the state parliament voted early Wednesday morning 20-19 to extend the state of emergency another six months.

This allows Brett Sutton, Victoria’s chief health officer, to extend and impose COVID-19 restrictions, such as a curfew and mandatory mask wearing in public, for that period of time, The Australian reported.

Opposition leader David Davis -- who on Tuesday asked the premier and health minister to meet with “all the 13 doctors” who contributed to the letter -- blasted the Labour government for shutting down debate during the marathon session.

“The Andrews Government described the bill as the most important to be debated this parliamentary term, yet time and time again, Labor voted to prevent important questions from being asked,” Davis said.

Opposition lower house MP Tim Smith lamented the vote as a “very, very, sad day in Melbourne and Victoria.”

“These laws are so extreme they’re seeing Victorians only allowed out of their homes to do an hour of exercise every day. This has never happened before in our history,” he told a Sydney radio station on Wednesday morning.

“A six-month extension to the state of emergency powers are totally disproportionate to the threat, the risk that will be posed to Victorians next year by the coronavirus.”

The 13 doctors underscored this in their letter.

The stage four restrictions have “caused or exacerbated depression, anxiety and other mental health issues, as well as contributed to domestic violence, through an extreme and unjustified disruption to family, social and work life,” they wrote.

Moreover, appointments to general practitioners have fallen “dramatically” because people are afraid to see a doctor because of the virus, and as a direct result, they will have a “poorer prognosis.”

“This has especially been the case with consultants who treat cancer. A study in the UK estimated an extra 4,000 deaths from not screening the four main cancers alone and not from lack of treatment,” they wrote.

The doctors’ letter compared coronavirus data with other serious medical conditions.


“We are told that since March 2020, 565 Victorian patients have died either with or from the virus (31st August numbers). This compares with annual Victorian deaths of approximately 10,000 patients with cardiovascular disease and 11,000 with cancer,” they wrote.

“Accordingly, the COVID-19 deaths are a relatively small proportion of the 114 deaths per day that are normally seen in Victoria. In comparison, since the start of March, COVID-19 has been associated with three of the 114 deaths per day.OTE]

The letter was initiated by Box Hill Hospital urologist Dr. Geoff Well.

Contributors were: Royal Melbourne Hospital transplant surgeon Dr Bob Millar, Monash Hospital orthopaedic surgeon Dr Jon Bare and Nossell Institute for Global Health public health physician Nathan Grills, Professors John Murtagh, Haydn Walters and Kuruvilla George, Dr Peter Denton, Dr William Edwards, Dr Andrew Taylor, Dr Michael Knight, Dr John Mathai and Dr Eamonn Mathieson.

“We just want to have significant input into this response instead of a blanket approach that is harming the general population,” Well told NCA Newswire.

“The mood of the population has changed dramatically in the past two weeks – there seems to be one half that is getting angrier and angrier and the other half which has just lost all hope – these policies are affecting the general psyche of the community.”

The Andrews government’s new restrictions imposed mid-August include an 8 p.m. and 5 a.m. curfew, except for “work and essential health, care or safety reasons”; people cannot leave their homes except to shop for food and essential items, receive or give care, take daily exercise, or to work; face coverings are mandatory anywhere outside one’s home, even in open spaces when one is alone; no one can visit any home other than his or her own, except to give care; people may only gather in public with one person from outside their home.

Andrews stated repeatedly before Wednesday’s vote that extending the state of emergency did not mean stage four restrictions would be in place the same length of time, according to the Daily Mail.

On Sunday, the government will release plans to move both regional Victoria and its capital city of Melbourne out of restrictions.

The vote to extend the state of emergency comes as outrage grows over Victorian police arresting a pregnant woman for “incitement” after she promoted an anti-lockdown protest on Facebook.

The Australian letter is not the first time doctors have protested coronavirus restrictions. In May, more than 500 American physicians signed a letter to President Donald Trump expressing their concern over the fallout over the lockdowns.

Here is full text of the letter by the Australian doctors:

Dear Premier,

We, the undersigned, are senior medical practitioners of various specialities who practice in Victoria and are deeply concerned with the Victorian government’s management of the SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) viral pandemic as a public health issue.

The purpose of this letter is to make you aware that not all medical practitioners are in agreement with the Chief Medical Officer and the Victorian government regarding the most effective way to control this disease. We believe that an alternative medical response is required that reflects what we know about the spread of the virus, those who have died from it, and the impact that the stage 3-4 lockdown restrictions are having on the physical and mental health of the general population.

For the sake of people in Victoria with other medical illnesses, it is vital that Stage 4 restrictions be lifted on schedule in mid-September.

This letter details our concerns and recommendations. We are ready to offer any assistance we can to help create and implement a revised, effective and just response to the Victorian situation; to this end we would be pleased to meet with you at your convenience to discuss the matter further.

Government response to Covid-19 and available data

Focusing on the numbers of cases of COVID-19 is at best an unsophisticated way of looking at disease management. Factors such as the side effects of any policy, its cost effectiveness, the quality of life years lost, and the cost per life saved are fundamental when considering disease management. In addition, any policy to manage any disease must be reviewed in light of new data.

We believe that the government’s initial response to handling COVID-19, via a stage 3 lockdown to ‘flatten the curve’, was reasonable in view of the limited information available at the time on the outbreak in China and the alarming number of deaths in Italy. The initial response, though arguably excessive, was still highly effective in preserving medical capacity and allowing time to coordinate a full medical response, with the community accepting that the social and economic consequences were reasonable and for the common good

However, we now know that whilst COVID-19 is highly contagious, it is of limited virulence.

Whilst an accurate cause of death of a person can be difficult to determine, we are told that since March 2020, 565 Victorian patients have died either with or from the virus (31st August numbers). This compares with annual Victorian deaths of approximately 10,000 patients with cardiovascular disease and 11,000 with cancer. Accordingly, the COVID-19 deaths are a relatively small proportion of the 114 deaths per day that are normally seen in Victoria. In comparison, since the start of March COVID-19 has been associated with 3 of the 114 deaths per day.

Most of the 565 deaths have occurred in nursing homes which according to doctors currently working in this environment have described causal factors related not only to the virus but to other care related issues, including isolation, loneliness, and related diminished nutritional intake.

However, in Victoria we have had 541 LESS deaths this July compared to July last year. (3,561 deaths compared to 4,102 deaths in July 2019).

In Australia last year, 2019, in the month of July alone we had 71,000 new laboratory confirmed cases, and a total of 313,000 laboratory confirmed cases of influenza for the year. This is only a fraction of the actual total cases of influenza, as many cases go untested.

In August 2017 we had 99,000 new laboratory confirmed cases of Influenza and a total of over 250,000 cases for the year.

During 2017 and 2019 Influenza resulted in 25-30,000 hospital admissions and up to 2500 ICU admissions across Australia. Three percent of hospital admissions were pregnant women and up to 18 per cent were under the age of 16.

The deaths from Influenza each and every year is between 3500 and 4000, according to the Australian Influenza Specialist Interest Group website and the Australian Bureau of Statistics. This is despite recent excellent rates of vaccination in the vulnerable population and millions of vaccinations utilised each year. (2020,18 million, 2019 13.2 million, 2018 11 million, 2016 8.3 million)

The vast majority of deaths associated with COVID-19 have occurred in frail people over 80 years, many of whom also had significant co-morbidities. In Victoria more than 73 percent of known COVID-19 deaths resided in nursing homes. (381 out of 524 and 30 out of 52 in NSW, as of August 30).

For people who are physically well and under 60 years of age, the mortality risk is extremely low. Contrary to what you have said, Mr Andrews, the virus DOES discriminate. See graphs below.

Since June 2020, the death rate has risen sharply in aged care facilities where the risk of transmission of COVID-19 has been unacceptably high. However, the government, and the doctors advising it, have not reviewed their policy in order to focus on this vulnerable segment of the population. Instead, stage 3-4 lockdowns for the whole community have continued for no apparent scientific reason.

Medical and social consequences

As medical practitioners, it is our collective experience that patients are presenting later to us with their medical complaints. Specialist referrals from GPs, and indeed GP workload, have fallen dramatically due to patients’ reluctance to leave home in fear of acquiring the virus. As a direct consequence of this delay, many will have poorer prognoses. This has especially been the case with consultants who treat cancer. A study in the UK estimated an extra 4000 deaths from not screening the four main cancers alone and not from lack of treatment.

In addition, it is our professional opinion that the stage 4 lockdown policy has caused unprecedented negative economic and social outcomes in people, which in themselves are having negative health outcomes. In particular, it has caused or exacerbated depression, anxiety and other mental health issues, as well as contributed to domestic violence, through an extreme and unjustified disruption to family, social and work life. Job losses, home schooling, the isolation of the elderly and single people and the restriction on the number of people who may attend funerals, are but a few examples of how the government’s current response is harming the health of the general population.

In short, the medical, psychological and social costs of the lockdown are disproportionately enormous compared to the limited good being done by current policies, and are relevant factors to be taken into account by any responsible government.

Proposed amendments to the Public Health and Wellbeing Act 2008 (Vic)

We further note with much concern, that the proposed amendment to the Public Health and Wellbeing Act that would effectively allow the government to continue its current policy to manage COVID-19 even if there were to be zero cases over a period of time. This is unfathomable and certainly contrary to the objects of the Act, which require accountability, proportionality and collaboration to be fulfilled.

Specifically, the legislation explicitly mandates that the government’s decisions on public health initiatives must be transparent, systematic and appropriate, with members of the public given access to reliable information in appropriate forms to facilitate a good understanding of the issue. In addition, the legislation acknowledges that decisions will be enhanced through collaboration between all levels of government and industry, business, communities and individuals.

Recommendations

For all these reasons, ordinary sensible people if properly informed, should inevitably conclude that the current government policy is ill focused, heavy-handed, and unjustifiable as a proportionate response to the risks posed by COVID-19 to the public’s health.

As the virus is not going away soon, and an effective vaccine may not be available for a considerable period of time, if at all, we respectfully call upon the government to do the following:

1 The State of Emergency not be continued past September 13 with an agreement made for parliament to be allowed to openly discuss and debate appropriate medical plans to manage the current COVID-19 crisis. A panel of non-politically aligned medical and health-related experts be selected by a bi-partisan parliamentary group to provide the transparent and active role of informing and advising government decisions and responses to the epidemic.

2 Ensure adequate measures, testing, and protection of the vulnerable, especially those in aged residential care environments and their families and carers.

3 Clearly communicate to the public the medical evidence-base, objectives and timelines of any proposed future management plans, with open disclosure of the processes and negative consequences, to inform those discussions and decisions.

4 A broader focus be given to the health and well-being of Victorians, by utilising all relevant available data and by calculating the costs and harms, including the social, economic, family, emotional, psychological and spiritual impacts on the community, of any decisions and plans to manage the COVID-19 crisis, thereby explaining and justifying the merits of these plans as a reasonable and proportionate response.

5 To review regularly the outcomes of any management decisions and demonstrate a willingness to modify plans as new data and insights become available.

Thank you for your time in reading this letter. We look forward to your early response.

Yours faithfully, Mr Geoff Wells, Urologist, Box Hill Hospital, Private Practice; Mr Bob Millar, Transplant Surgeon, Royal Melbourne Hospital; Mr Jon Bare, Orthopaedic Surgeon, Monash Hospital, Private Practice; Professor Nathan Grills, Public Health Physician, University of Melbourne; Professor John Murtagh, Emeritus Professor AO Academic General Practitioner; Professor Haydn Walters, Respiratory Medicine, University of Tasmania; Professor Kuruvilla George, Psychiatrist; Mr Peter Denton, General Surgeon; Mr William Edwards, Orthopaedic Surgeon, Private Practice; Dr Andrew Taylor, Gastroenterologist, St Vincent’s Hospital; Mr Michael Knight, Orthopaedic Surgeon, Private Practice; Dr John Mathai, Psychiatrist; Dr Eamonn Mathieson, Anaesthetist, Private Practice.

I am afraid that there is another 2 years and 2 months before there is a state election in Victoria - which means we have a lot longer than 6 months to put up with Dan Andrews who probably will go down in history as the worst politician this country has produced. So unless there is an unforeseen circumstance, which could be highly likely, there is another 26 months to go.

We do have 6 months extension of the state of emergency which does give Dan Andrews and his Chief medical officer powers to enforce mandatory mask wearing, curfews, lockdown extensions, travel restrictions and unrestricted police entry into any home without a warrant. There's probably a lot more powers enabled but that's enough for now.

Victoria’s “Nanny State” Premier Daniel Andrews, the “saviour” so much concerned about Victorians’ health must have some outstanding PRO-life achievements throughout his longstanding political career (Andrews has been the longest-serving incumbent state premier in Australia as of August 2020):

- Andrews became Minister for Health in the John Brumby Labor government. In 2008, Andrews voted in favour of abortion law reform in Victoria. Andrews is a practising Roman Catholic. As Health Minister during the passing of the Abortion Law Reform Act 2008, Andrews sought counsel from senior church clergy who advised him that the act was contrary to Church teaching. Andrews replied that he "... did not intend to be a Catholic health minister. It was my intention to be a Victorian health minister".

You would expect a Health Minister to have some sort of medically related qualification. Andrews holds a Bachelor of ARTS degree.

- Euthanasia: on 20 September 2017, the Voluntary Assisted Dying Bill 2017 was introduced into the Legislative Assembly of the Victorian Parliament by the Andrews Labor Government. In passing the bill, Victoria became the first state to legislate for voluntary assisted dying.

- On 24 May 2016 Andrews made an official apology in parliament for gay men in Victoria punished during the time homosexuality was a crime in the state. It was decriminalised in 1981

Other extraordinary achievements:
- His government signed a Memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Chinese government under the Belt and Road Initiative in October 2018, but kept its details secret until he released it five weeks later. The MoU involves cooperation on facilities connectivity, unimpeded trade, finance, people-to-people bond[s], and the "Digital Silkroad".
The Victorian Labor Party used the politics of the state’s controversial Belt and Road agreement with China as an electoral weapon to help the Andrews government win votes in three seats with a high number of Chinese-Australians in its 2018 election victory:

-In September 2016, the Andrews Government privatised the Port of Melbourne for a term of 50 years in return for more than $9.7 billion.

- In March 2018, the Ombudsman released a report stating that Victorian Labor had wrongly used $387,842 of staff budget entitlements during the election campaign, breaching guidelines for the use of electoral staff. The report identified 21 MPs (11 current MPs including six ministers) who had used the scheme, which had been devised by former Treasurer John Lenders. Andrews stated he was sorry the incidents had occurred, and that Labor had repaid the money. The investigation was reopened in July.

- In 2019, an independent tribunal granted Andrews an 11.8% salary increase, giving him a total salary of $441,000 and making him the highest-paid state premier in the country.

This is a good example of scientism - making an "ism" or science against which there is no argument. Andrews saying you can't argue with the data, raises data to some "godlike" status



Here is a discussion on C.S.Lewis' warnings about the dangers of scientism 70 years ago

FPeyJvXU68k

More than a half century ago, famed writer C.S. Lewis warned about how science (a good thing) could be twisted in order to attack religion, undermine ethics, and limit human freedom. In this documentary "The Magician's Twin: C.S. Lewis and the Case Against Scientism," leading scholars explore Lewis's prophetic warnings about the abuse of science and how Lewis's concerns are increasingly relevant for us today.

My best guess, at this stage, would be a rollback from the extreme measures implemented by the Dan Andrews faction, to a 'more reasonable'
level of new 'covid normal', that the 'good guys' like Scott Morrison and his cheer leader Alan Jones are promoting. (The same Alan Jones in the above posts)

I don't know how that went for Mark or if he even completed the degree - however my gut feeling at the time was, they were taking steps to reign in

Hey everyone, this is mainly for Australians but may affect other countries one day. Did you know about the proposed new law known as the News Media Bargaining Code? It prioritizes the traditional news industry over smaller creators. YouTube may be obligated to give large news publishers confidential information such as access to user data and algorithm insights so that they can appear higher in rankings on YouTube and also demand higher amounts of compensation, disadvantaging all other creators. For more information check out this video from @Economics Explained: https://youtu.be/zj2r948rUkQ (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZ4AMrDcNrfy3X6nsU8-rPg) and consider signing the Change.org Petition: http://chng.it/s8QmcZt269 (https://www.change.org/p/parliament-of-australia-save-youtube-by-stoping-australia-s-proposed-law-news-media-bargaining-code-ouryoutube-d9a6388b-a916-46c3-ab86-1a412ae1ba2b?utm_content=cl_sharecopy_24246202_en-US%3A2&recruiter=1143398136&utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=copylink&utm_campaign=share_petition&utm_term=share_petition)

A group of doctors has united to pen an extraordinary open letter to Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews demanding he ends Melbourne’s coronavirus (https://7news.com.au/travel/coronavirus) lockdown.

The 13 experts, including urologists, psychiatrists and surgeons, say extending the lockdown beyond its scheduled September 13 end-date could “destroy” Victorians’ health.

They argue the devastating impact of COVID-19 restrictions on mental and physical health could be far more deadly for the general population than the virus itself.
“The purpose of this letter is to make you aware that not all medical practitioners are in agreement with the Chief Medical Officer and the Victorian government regarding the most effective way to control this disease,” the letter begins.

“We believe that an alternative medical response is required that reflects what we know about the spread of the virus, those who have died from it, and the impact that the Stage 3-4 lockdown restrictions are having on the physical and mental health of the general population.

“For the sake of people in Victoria with other medical illnesses, it is vital that Stage 4 restrictions be lifted on schedule in mid-September.”

The doctors say it is their “professional opinion” that restrictions are lifted after causing “unprecedented negative economic and social outcomes and negative health outcomes”.

Strict Stage 4 restrictions in Melbourne and the Mitchell Shire are scheduled to end on September 13, however it is looking likely the lockdown will be extended.

Victoria recorded 70 new coronavirus cases and five deaths on Tuesday.

In the letter, the doctors wrote that GP visits and specialist referrals had fallen dramatically during the pandemic.

Diseases undiagnosed
Because of this, they fear a large number of cancers are not being diagnosed, a disease they say is far more deadly than COVID-19.
“We now know that whilst COVID-19 is highly contagious, it is of limited virulence,” the letter says.

‘”We are told that since March 2020, 565 Victorian patients have died either with or from the virus (31st August numbers).

“This compares with annual Victorian deaths of approximately 10,000 patients with cardiovascular disease and 11,000 with cancer.

“Accordingly, the COVID-19 deaths are a relatively small proportion of the 114 deaths per day that are normally seen in Victoria.

“In comparison, since the start of March, COVID-19 has been associated with 3 of the 114 deaths per day.

“Most of the 565 deaths have occurred in nursing homes which, according to doctors currently working in this environment, have described causal factors related not only to the virus but to other care-related issues, including isolation, loneliness and related diminished nutritional intake.”
‘Remote’ chance of dying
Appearing on Sunrise to discuss the open letter, urologist Dr Geoff Wells said the Victorian government’s coronavirus response was too heavy-handed.
“If you’re under 60 years of age, then the chance of dying from the disease is remote,” he said.

“The vast majority of patients we’ve seen dying are over 85, they’ve got significant co-morbidities and they’re in a nursing home.

“The lockdown has caused significant social and economic side effects within the community, and we’ve seen a lot of hurt, a lot of anxiety and a lot of stress.”

Some horrible videos came out of Melbourne this weekend.

A little context for the first video, apparently some protesters entered the markets in an attempt to avoid the police, this is footage of the police response to that.

1305004087906164737

A warning that the content of the following video contains police brutality and is distressing to watch. I saw the video posted yesterday and assumed the poster was overdramatising the content with the title of the video. That was not the case and it shocked me to the core, I would rather I hadn’t seen what I have of it.

This is not directly related to the extreme measures in Victoria but it is more evidence of the extreme responses from the Victoria police.

Below is a news article about the incident. Out of respect for readers I will not embed the video, you can find it in the link below. You can also listen to a short radio interview with the man’s father, it has more details.

https://www.rebelnews.com/man_stomped_by_victoria_police_yesterday_now_in_coma

BREAKING: Man stomped by Victoria Police yesterday is now in a coma

The father of a man brutally stomped on by police in Melbourne has spoken out about the shocking ordeal.

“I couldn’t sleep last night, I was so upset,” he told Neil Mitchell from 3aw.
The victim is now in an induced coma while the hospital conducts brain scans for potential injuries.

The distraught father says his son suffers from bipolar, and police were called to the hospital when his son went outside to meet his friend.

Witnesses say the man was intentionally hit by a police car before being tackled and stomped on the ground.

This comes as police tactics are widely being condemned in Melbourne in response to anti-lockdown protests.

Earlier this month, a pregnant woman was arrested in front of her children, and an ex-soldier had his door kicked in for posting on Facebook.

I was tackled to the ground and arrested while doing a piece to camera last Saturday.

More to follow.

My first time back here for a while. So thought I would check in and offer my perspective on things. It is unfortunate that generally alot of intelligent clear headed people have been put into the dream state by these restrictions. Seemingly everyone feels the need to be angry about 'something' (usually other than the virus) shutting down any form of differing view or opinion of the official narrative. Police have been given the power to enter any private residence without cause to arrest people for 'incitement' for posting online about speaking out vs the government decisions. All roads out of Melbourne are now blocked. You cannot go in or out.

It is clear that for all intents and purposes, we are in a military lock down. In my view, the numbers have never reflected the response from the government regarding the enforcement. I feel Melbourne was
targeted. I cant say why, but I feel it is feeding back to China.

Being a member of this site, and others for many years, I have learned to ask a simple question. Who benefits?

It is unfortunate, but Victoria, and most of Australia's food, water and other resources, which would be used for self sustaining a country, have been sold off, and now are owned by foreign companies, mainly Asian.

Melbourne has been voted one of the world's most livable cities on a number of occasions, because of its culture, which has all but been eroded in a short space of time. No tourism, no culture, and the government is giving no clear view on how business will be able to recover. Its a very sad time. Alot of people feel there is no choice but to accept the situation as it is. Being fined for being outside your house, threats of jail. Being bankrupted.

The positive I ave found is being able to give energy to my own personal issues and being and to address them.
I feel for people who aren't coping. Hopefully it will be over soon.

Australia is China's puppet. Basically owned by China. Right behind is Canada. I think because Australia is closer to China, it has been targeted the hardest. China is leading this world wide charge to lock-down-until-vaccination for good old Billy Boy Gates, along with the WHO.

Canada scares me because of the Liberal oligarchy in this country. They would sell us out in a minute if they could get away with it. So long as we have this Liberal minority representation rule, we will get what we deserve - talking heads with no ability to rule. My personal favorite is South Korea's own, Canadian top doctor, Tam. They must be so proud of her back in the old country...but she ain't doing much for us here in Canada but implement the WHO directives.

Victorian Government Pushes New Bill to Detain ‘Conspiracy Theorists,’ Anti-Lockdown Protesters, and Families

STAFF WRITER
SEPTEMBER 16, 2020

The Victorian government will debate a new bill in the State Parliament this week which would hand authorities the power to forcibly detain “conspiracy theorists” and people suspected to likely spread coronavirus, such as anti-lockdown protesters and their close contacts.

If passed, the Omnibus (Emergency Measures) Bill will allow the state to detain anyone they suspect of being “high risk” or likely to negligently spread COVID-19, either if they have the virus or have been in contact with an infected person.

According to The Age (https://www.theage.com.au/national/victoria/people-who-refuse-to-self-isolate-could-be-detained-under-proposed-victorian-law-20200914-p55vm0.html), a state government spokesman said the rule could be applied to “conspiracy theorists who refuse to self-isolate or severely drug-affected or mentally impaired people who do not have the capacity to quarantine.”

Those detained could then be placed in quarantine facilities, such as hotels, where they can be monitored by authorities.

On Sunday police fined 200 people and made 74 arrests during an anti-lockdown protest in Melbourne. Could this bill lead to the mass-forced quarantining of similar anti-lockdown protesters?

Will the legislation result in anti-lockdown protesters being deemed “high risk” of spreading the virus, resulting in the forced detainment and mandatory quarantining of their family members, work colleagues, and close friends?

Yes it does not do to disagree Franny.

I disagreed with the validity of the test and with forced mask wearing and got an extreme psychic attack for my troubles.
I did not want to believe in such things but it was very real -- posted it elsewhere on Avalon.
It would have killed me if my heart was not strong and Divine help came when I asked for it.

It’s not just any old alliance that is behind the ISD. A quick search of the group’s website reveals the identity of its Board of Trustees: A cadre of internationalists that is second to none.

Among the 14 board members: Charles Guthrie, Baron Guthrie of Craigiebank, a member of the House of Lords, who currently acts as a non-executive director of global financier, NM Rothschild & Sons and represents the firm’s interest on the Trilateral Commission.

ISD has gained a reputation for being committed to the identification and targeting of “far right extremists

Perusing the site ISD programs include

• ADVISED 40 NATIONAL GOVERNMENTS

• REACHED 120 STRONG CITIES NETWORK MEMBERS

• ENGAGED 80000 YOUNG PEOPLE IN EDUCATION PROGRAMMES

• PRODUCED OVER 75 RESEARCH REPORTS AND POLICY BRIEFINGS

• TRAINED OVER 32000 ACTIVISTS THROUGH OUR PROGRAMMES

Papers include

• Developing a Civil Society Response to Online Manipulation (Tin Foil Hatters)

• The 101 of Disinformation Detection (Anti Andrews)

Partners Include:

5 Academic, 2 of them Australian

• Curtin University, Australia

• Victoria University

Police also recently unveiled new crowd control equipment including less-than-lethal weapons, such as pepperball guns, to help officers engage with violent people at a greater distance without needing to get involved in hand-to-hand confrontations.

With the introduction of

1) 175 shot pepper ball semi-automatic rifle that fires capsicum rounds,

2) Blunt force pellets the size of marbles or dye markers to brand offenders, so they can be identified and arrested later.

3) 40-millimetre launcher that fires a hard squash ball like projectile that can hit an offender to a range of 50 metres and lands with the impact of a ‘‘very hard punch’’.

4) Stinger grenades that can be rolled into a crowd, explode with light and smoke while releasing nine 32-calibre rubber pellets to waist height with a range of five metres.

5) Flash/noise distraction devices designed to shock and disperse crowds.

6) Capsicum canister – a crowd control weapon that detonates to release a cloud of capsicum.

7) Updated fleet of Public Order Response Team (PORT) vehicles and nine additional vehicles

8) Uniform items including helmets, riot shields, tactical vest, and gloves

9) 40 additional full-time officers

10) New video technology and evidence gathering teams

11) Specialised training for all ORU members including crowd control tactics and riot formations to increase the capacity of the Public Order Response Team (PORT) when
needed

Funded in the Andrews $596 million Public Safety Package in the Victorian Budget 2016-17.

Yes $596 MILLION

This is in addition to the unprecedented $2 BILLION investment for the Community Safety Statement which funded 3,135 new police.

What was Andrews preparing for?

This public order response unit vehicles and uniforms have nothing marked upon them to indicate they have anything to do with Victoria Police,

These 32,000 activists trained by the ISD are most certainly amongst us here in Victoria.

They have infiltrated social media across all platforms, causing havoc dividing the community,

Things are moving with such a momentum that I honestly feel by Christmas there will be nothing left of this state to save.

There is no doubt that the Australian internet is being filtered, all one needs to do is get themselves an IP proxy, change their machine ID, and spoof their location to see what the world sees when looking back at us.

What they see is a pack of complacent docile morons that have bent over, lubed up, and just waiting for a second ****ing.

THE BOGUS WARRANTS

Another example of the treachery by Victoria Police can be seen here in a page I prepared recently

– https://reclaim-democracy.weebly.com/

If you know anyone that says that got arrested, try to get a copy of their Search Warrant or at least confirm if their warrant has been endorsed by the court. I have seen one other online without the endorsement but the name was crossed out

I have a hunch that VicPol will come back with this,

UNDER STATE OF EMERGENCY WE DON’T NEED A WARRANT!

Ok that’s fine… For now, at least.

SO PLEASE TELL ME WHY YOU ARE MISLEADING THE PEOPLE WITH A BULL**** WARRANT?

Coz no chance a Judge would give us a real one and the Public would be outraged if they knew Dan Andrew’s could send up into any home in Victoria, arrest whoever and take whatever we like.

Chinese Bots and Shills orchestrated a world wide social media propaganda campaign


American lawyer Michael Senger says the COVID-19 lockdowns “might not even be science at all” but are based on Xi Jinping’s philosophy which also inspired the re-education of Uighur Muslims in concentration camps.

Mr Senger said Xi Jinping’s philosophy was the same hybrid of health and security policy which inspired the re-education of millions of Uighur Muslims in concentration camps.

“This is the exact same policy that inspired his lockdown of Wuhan ... there was actually no science behind it,” he said.

“The WHO explicitly says that says lockdowns are completely new to science, completely unprecedented and have no scientific literature behind them before XI Jinping ordered them,” he said.

Mr Senger said the CCP has been using social media propaganda to push for the lockdown measures practiced in Wuhan to be implemented in countries around the world.

“An Israeli company identified an huge ring of tweets, thousands and thousands of tweets, using essentially identical language, denigrating all these other governments, essentially encouraging them to adopt China’s model,” he said.

Mr Senger added there was an apparent connection between countries and states with closer links to China and how willing they were to implement the lockdown policy.

“This to me suggests that China is suggesting they do this,” he said.

“They’re probably more inclined to trust China’s response to the pandemic.

“That is a horrible mistake ….no one will ever eliminate the coronavirus by lockdowns.”

Great research. Hope we'll see more of it in the near future.
Some (non Xi Jinping) thoughts on possible CCP motives.
- World Communism, or at least acceptance of the Chinese Communist system and discrediting of Democracy, is an obvious one. Throughout the pandemic we have frequently heard the term 'New Normal' as though this level of state control should become normal. The COVID-19 also arrived on the world stage about the same time as 'Extinction Rebellion,' who similarly use fear (in their case of a 'Climate Crisis') to promote major political change and the BLM movement that tries to discredit Western democratic societies.
- Internal propaganda: promulgating the view that the virus actually originated outside of China and that China 'lead the world' in defeating it.
- Undermining the economies of countries viewed as enemies.
- Exasperating debt traps in Belt & Road countries.
- A distraction whilst the CCP implemented the Hong Kong Security law and pursued expansionist strategies around the border with India and in the South Pacific.
- A means of generating much needed foreign currency through sale of face-masks (which the CCP's is alleged to have hoarded at the start of the pandemic), vaccines and other medical equipment made in China.

Just watched this disturbing video, recorded Saturday in Melbourne.

To see this amount of officers from the Victoria Police force surrounding a single citizen — in order to arrest her for having helped and stood by a lockdown protester — is not only unreasonable and absurd, it is tyrannical.

From Jim Stone:
HEADS UP AUSTRALIA: (http://82.221.129.208/.vd5.html)

Melbourne is considering passing HAS PASSED a new law that will give permission to ANYONE who works in the government to arrest ANYONE with Covid-19 as the excuse.

Anyone arrested will be indefinitely detained in a detention camp.

That's obviously the type of thing Bill Gates wanted in that video where he praises Australia for going off the rails with Covid and says the rest of the world did not listen, so the next virus WILL get attention.

This is a major escalation of events in Australia, the actual government document that goes over this is here: COVID-19 Omnibus (Emergency Measures) and Other Acts Amendment Bill 2020 (https://www.legislation.vic.gov.au/bills/covid-19-omnibus-emergency-measures-and-other-acts-amendment-bill-2020)

At this time, there are only 15 active cases of Covid in Melbourne yet they are pushing THIS through. Why???

UPDATE: IT PASSED. I hate the way it is written (little tiny short lines squinched over to the right) but I patiently scanned it, and YES, about half way down this crap is in there. WTF is UP down under??? This is crazy.

Separation of families, EVERYTHING is in this bill, all of which can be activated on hearsay against anyone, just like the communists want, with Commievid-19 as the excuse and cover for the actions needed in any communist takeover.

Helen Buyniski

Melbourne residents are prisoners in their city, risking indefinite detention for ‘pre-crime’ and even having their kids taken based on Covid statistics that are often inaccurate. How long before this spreads elsewhere?
Americans would be wise to pay attention to what’s going on Down Under. Victorian Premier Dan Andrews has gone on a police-state shopping spree to rival the Patriot Act, recently introducing a bill that gives the state government the power to preemptively detain “high-risk” persons, indefinitely, in quarantine facilities based on mere suspicion they might not comply with self-isolation orders.

Having just skimmed throught this thread reading posts here and there I'm astonished at what is going on. The Aussies I met in '86 and ''87 during my two year walkabout were, almost without fail, more in favour of anarchy than any rule of law. Although I spent most of that time period in rural settings the city encounters were not markedly different. Everyone seemed to have a 'Don't give a **** mate' atttitude which I found thoroughly refreshing given my previous life in the UK.

Finding it difficult to reconcile my own experiences of the typical Australian with what is being described in this thread. But a darker thought impinges. I sense Australia if being used as a sandbox zone, where globalists are trying out methods to be applied throughout the world, but particularly in the west.

Saddening reading. Wishing you all the luck, and clear thinking to loom above your continent like the approach of the wet - that usually clears the air and lifts the doldrums.

Edit: To ponder, has the education system been improved to the point where 95% of the school/college leavers have been formed into perfect little cogs that just want to fit in. Extremely disconcerting if it has been perfected to that degree.

As expected, Dan’s long-awaited appearance at the hotel quarantine inquiry on Friday was a masterclass in spin, evasiveness and political theatre. But one upshot of it was that Dan put the blame on Jenny Mikakos for the program’s failure.

Throwing Mikakos in front of the proverbial bus triggered a chain reaction that made for a shocker of a weekend for the government. Mikakos spectacularly resigned on Saturday morning, damaging Andrews on her way out. Sunday’s ‘reopening announcement’ turned out to be a fizzer, failing to take media attention off the Mikakos story. And then on Monday, Victorian Labor MPs started attacking Dan anonymously in the media.

We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again: Dan is finished.

We also speak to friend of the show, NewsCorp National Personal Finance Writer Sophie Elsworth and get her take on the weekend’s events, and why small businesses should yet again feel totally betrayed by Dan.

Still of great concern but detention powers not passed.

‘Win for democracy’: Andrews backflips on detention powers in Omnibus bill
https://www.skynews.com.au/details/_6198247960001

Victorian Shadow Police Minister David Southwick says the Victorian government’s back down on detention powers within the controversial Omnibus bill is a “victory for Victorians in their fight for freedoms and democracy”. The Omnibus bill, which is currently before Victoria’s upper house, sparked scrutiny because the state government’s extraordinary powers would allow the appointment of anyone as an authorised officer to arrest anyone they suspected of breaching the chief health officer’s orders. “The bill will still go before parliament, but Daniel Andrews has backflipped on some of the key issues,” Mr Southwick told Sky News host Peter Gleeson. “Effectively, Daniel Andrews’ authorised officers would be police, judge and jury. “Thankfully due to public pressure, he has backflipped.” Mr Southwick said this demonstrates Premier Andrews is “making this stuff up on the run”. “Victorians have had enough,” he said.



Today....Vic omnibus bill passes upper house
https://www.canberratimes.com.au/story/6967701/vic-omnibus-bill-passes-upper-house/?cs=14264

The Victorian government's COVID-19 omnibus bill is set to become law after it passed the state's upper house in a marathon late-night sitting.

The bill, which gives the police new powers to enforce measures to contain the spread of coronavirus and allows the government to extend its state of emergency until April, passed the Legislative Council just after 2am on Wednesday.

It follows weeks of negotiations between the government and crossbench MPs.

The government was forced to abandon controversial parts of the bill which would have given authorised officers the power to detain anyone they believed posed a risk of spreading COVID-19.

BREAKING: Lockdown protesters take Chief Health Officer to Supreme Court (Please help!)

S1W9ynOGt24
https://www.rebelnews.com/breaking_urgent_lockdown_constitutional_challenge_filed_in_victoria

SAVE VICTORIA

We have the perfect test case with a top legal team, all we need is your help to crowdfund this legal fight for our freedom.

We filed a blockbuster lawsuit urgently challenging Dan Andrews’ China-style censorship law. And we’ve hired one of the best constitutional lawyers in Victoria to do it: Kathleen Foley, who has taken many high-profile constitutional cases before.

You can read the entire lawsuit yourself on this page, and I really recommend you do.

This lawsuit is being put before the courts urgently because there are major protests planned for the 23rd of October. We need everyone to know — the police and protesters, and the media — is it still legal in Australia to have a peaceful protest?

This case will have national ramifications, and once and for all the courts will draw a line in the sand regarding our rights as Australian's to free speech and protest. There’s a lot at stake.

And if we win, other judges, in other countries, would see that Australia is bringing a proper balance back for civil liberties. A win in Australia could actually help change momentum around the world.

Our case has two plaintiffs — Tony Pecora and Kerry Cotterill — who were given massive fines for simply expressing their disagreement with Dan Andrew’s lockdown.

Kerry was simply out for a walk, all by herself. But because she was carrying this sign, police swarmed her and gave her a massive ticket. What’s that got to do with public health?

The charges against Tony couldn't be more political — Tony was actually arrested and charged in early September for 'inciting' a protest against the lockdown. To this day, his bail conditions BAN him from using social media. What's that got to do with a virus? 

Tony and Kerry are ready to fight. And so am I, and so are their top lawyers. But we need one more thing: you.

We need your help to crowdfund this project because to get this off the ground will cost at least $60,000. Every cent counts, so if you can give $5, $50, $500 or $5,000 your donation will not only pave the way to freeing Victoria but in fact the entire country.

Quick PayPal donations can be made here: https://www.paypal.me/RebelNews
Australian cheques can be made payable to “Smith & Tapper Lawyers” with “on trust for Cotterill/Pecora” written as the “memo”. They can be posted to:

This is part of a bigger picture, and how Timelines work. This is about how our reality is created. So making what I write "provable" is not the first thought on my mind.

Transcript:


💎Taken to a white futuristic style open room with "VIPs and officials" who had Looking Glass technology. This felt like a facility that is top secret, many people working in the background.

💎I'm told to come in and stand before this dome on a table, almost like a "crystal ball" but it's a dome implanted into a surface. There is a couch that the two main VIPs are seated on. One is the right hand man of the main VIP who is also taking notes (scribe). They are telling me they were expecting me, and I am shocked to be there before them, but they said I've worked with them before.

💎They wait for me to look at the glass and ask me, "What do you see?" When I begin to describe the visions, they look at one another with smirks on their faces, and the head VIP says, "She's good"..

🔮They tell me to start describing each thing as they document what I'm seeing. I ask why it's important, and the head VIP says in his very direct matter-of-fact way, "this is how the technology works - it's about 'potentiality' - Quantum systems require that we document events before they happen and input them into the system to effect the future in a positive way. We need these ideas uploaded onto a public platform in order to create or generate potentials". I'm told it needs to be done by a certain date.

🔮So the first thing I see is flat topography ... what I think is an explosion, but then I look again, and I see it's something going up like a rocket being launched ... this begins the visions. I'm distracted often, then keep going back to the Looking Glass to focus. They tell me to take my time.

🔮I then see a TV screen. It's a news broadcast which appears to be very upbeat and positive, much different than any news story that is present today. I see a field with a shortish silver tower with a flat disk on top. And the newsreader says, "the last of the Tesla Towers have been installed today in rural Victoria. Local Farmers are very pleased with this development ..." [it crosses to footage of Farmers being interviewed with smiles on their faces. I look at the date and it says 2023. I look up and say to the two men, "That's still 3 years away, I thought they were installed already", they tell me, "there are some, but these take time to roll out across the world".

🔮So the next person and place I focus on is in Melbourne Victoria. As I scan over the surface of Australia, it is clear that this location has the most turmoil. I feel there is a massive eruption of distress and violence at the Saturday protest on the 5th. There is police brutality. Many protesters clash with police, as they are absolutely frustrated and completely outraged by all of the injustice. People are arrested. Videos go viral of the clashes. Many videos are banned. This clash feels like it happens on the steps of an official older style Victorian era building. Several arrests and charges, but a very very clear indication of injustice, excessive force on the side of police, and plenty of footage to show this is happening. Many will livestream.

🔮Next I see D.A. 😷👓 agitated and stressed within the 3 weeks following the 5th September. The cracks are showing. I clearly see him in his office under duress, signing a RESIGNATION LETTER, it's as if I am looking over his shoulder as he does this. The signature is beside the date 29th September, 2020. I am told it will be made official and public knowledge on the 1st October, 2020.

🔮This is (on the surface) as a result of the police brutality, excessive force, draconian measures implemented, and the subsequent handling of the arrests. But there is much more going on that has culminated in this event of his resignation. D.A. looks as pale as anything, sweating, and full of dread as if he is being taken away to be arrested and charged.

🔮I then see 1st November it is announced that restrictions are lifted in Victoria. Across Australia too, Social Distancing is no longer required, masks are not recommended. There is no evening curfew. I hear from the head VIP "we can do our clean up job in the day time now, the night time is no longer required". Things appear to be moving swiftly. There is a sense that in the next 3 weeks, a certain State is trying to implement a "second wave event", but these plans are going to be stopped from going ahead.

🔮My focus then goes to a person, SM, who is the head of the Great Southern Land. Again, I see that look of utter panic, sweating, and like he is under duress and about to be taken away. He too is being made to sign papers. It is the end of his rule. No date given. But definitely a hot Summer. I get a sense of the crimes against him which I will not repeat, but suffice to say, they run deep. It is like dominoes - one falls after the other. I will say again, things move swiftly. I see SMs wife in another scene in their home, falling to her knees crying and screaming, as she knows it's over.

🔮I scan over to a Premier of another state. She is also being wanted for certain crimes relating to land, water, I also hear "Murray River", developments, and colluding with certain people to effect certain events that become profitable for herself and other business people, corporations, and politicians. It is the end of her reign. No date given.

🔮I scan over to Uluru, and go to check the white orb or crystal that I saw before beneath it's surface. The black stuff I had seen that was originally stuck to it, suffocating it's energy appears to be much less than the last time I checked. In fact the black has turned white in some areas and crumbling.

🔮I follow a line of this darkness attached to Uluru, like a crack, and I realise it is connected to mining. The Mining was implemented not only to gather resources, but to effect leylines negatively, and disrupt the positive energy emitted from Gaia.

BREAKING: Victoria Police BACKFLIP on protest stance amid Supreme Court challenge

In an astonishing backflip, today, Victoria Police announced their position change on the legality of protests.
Assistant Commissioner Luke Cornelius now concedes "protests are a human right".

1319158399506919426

Mr Cornelius has previously declared protests illegal as they are "not one of the four permitted reasons to leave home".

Kerry Cotterill is among hundreds who have previously been fined for protesting while complying to the Cheif Health Officer directives.

The backflip comes days before our constitutional challenge on the legality of protesting is set to be heard in the Supreme Court.

Tomorrow protests are planned in Melbourne's CBD.

More to follow.

https://www.rebelnews.com/breaking_victoria_police_backflip_on_protest_stance_amid_supreme_court_challenge

Small businesses are beginning to defy lockdown orders by opening back up. The day after the salon opened it was announced hairdressing salons and some other small businesses could open, shortly after that it was announced we may see more restrictions being lifted for small businesses sooner. This is not just a coincidence. See how powerful we are? See how little pressure is needed for an almost immediate effect? Inspire each other, work together and we the people of the world can take our nations back for our children.

Congratulations fellow Aussies!

Oh for the good 'ol days. The following was posted on Facebook.


About 35 short years ago everyone had Jobs everywhere, in fact Mums use to stay home and families all lived happily just on Dads wages.

We had Iron Ore and great steel industries, we had shipbuilding, Car manufacturing, Holden, Chrysler, Mitsubishi, Toyota, Ford even Lightburn made a Zeta, we built TV’s, radio’s, washing machines, Victa lawnmowers, hills hoists & fine furniture manufacturing. We built Car parts and we even made our own tyres at Bridgestone! We had fishing ports all over Australia from Port Lincoln to Brunswick Heads. We made our own cheap Petrol that was refined at Stanvac Oil refinery in SA, Bulimba Refinery in Brisbane. Mortlake Sydney Refinery’s from oil brought in from the Bass Strait, North West Shelf and the Timor Sea.

We built Aircraft, Boats, Submarines and battlecruisers, Ships, warships. Buses. Locomotives, Diesel-electric trains, as well as the tracks, and you can add hundreds more to that list.

And everything was “PROUDLY MADE IN AUSTRALIA”

We had Corner stores and Milk Bars and Deli's, and Hardware shops all over the city and country. Our Rural towns were a hive f activity as they were very strong Communities and were linked by a vast rail network that now lies dormant forever all across the country.
Flea Markets everywhere on the weekends. All our food was fresh and local. Our Milk and bread were delivered every morning fresh to our doorstep in recyclable glass bottles.

We paid our rates to the local council to maintain our streets and remove our rubbish. and we use to dump our extra rubbish free at the local tips.
We had work available as driveway attendants at all our local Service Stations, that was when we had Australian owned Service Stations like GOLDEN FLEECE that even had restaurants owned by H.C. Sleigh... and AMPOL. I even remember good old STANLEY who checked your tyres, checked your oils and washes your windscreen. And at ALL these places you could always find a JOB!!!

I remember going to Myers, David Jones and Waltons etc to buy Clothes and there was always someone with a tape measure to measure me up and all my NEW clothes fitted perfectly... Today I have to take clothes off the shelves, get them out of the packets, Take them to the fitting room and try them on... If they don't fit put them back and keep trying till you get some that do fit. 2 Hours later take them to the checkout that if it is not a Self Serve checkout. They are scanned and the operator tells me the price... Oh, I say... Can you tell me, the second-hand price, please???? These are new She replies... No, they are not! These shirts smell under the armpits... These are not new at all... How many people before me have tried them on??? I don't know what diseases people have. This is a public health issue.

We had PUBLIC UTILITIES like Power Stations, Water & Gas which would employ thousand around the Country and it was always so cheap, it would sustain thousands of Industries all over the Nation, this was how thousands of jobs were created.

We were all taught Respect for others and ourselves at school.

Then the bloody Government starting selling out our very souls !!!! It started to Corporatise itself and began to compete against private enterprise instead of Govern. Local Councils started to buy up Caravan & Tourist Parks in all the major tourist spots and build Shopping Hubs and rented them out and at the same time dictate to all others what you can and can not do...
Then we started going downhill.

All our companies and manufacturers started going offshore or close down because this new corporate government did deals with other countries under free trade agreements that allowed them to totally wipe out our business and manufacturing by allowing the foreign business to start flooding our once great nation with their cheap crap.

We as Australians use to all watch each other's backs and respect each other and all say G'day with a smile because we were all happy with our freedom and our wonderful democracy. Children could safely go anywhere as long as they were home before dark. Now we just watch each other through security screens and burglar alarms and live in constant FEAR & STRESS.

These Foreign Countries were allowed to just march in and start taking over and rape and pillage all our resources. They started driving our Farmers off their lands and then sold it to these foreign countries.

They cut back funding to our education system and slowed down teaching trade skills to our youth and set up 457 visa’s to replace our trade workers with poor quality cheap workers from overseas. These things left our once beautiful Country in tatters!

Politicians allowed Foreign Countries to buy our Power Stations and guaranteed them that they would always make a profit at our expense no matter what.

Now because we have lost so much the Government then realised they don't get much income anymore and have to find new ways to make money so it hits it’s own people further in the pocket. They invented things like GST, Excise Taxes, Levy's buy the hundreds on everything. They cut funding to our Emergency Services and forced us to all pay an Emergency Services Levy, they cut funding to our Police and Public housing.

All our Public owned Forestries were sold off to foreign ownership.

These new Corporate Government Politicians laughed in our faces and gave themselves MASSIVE pay rises and they all pat themselves on the back knowing that we are so dumb and stupid we would not know what is going on!

Now they tell us we have to tighten our belts and lose what little we have left to pay back the MASSIVE DEBT they left us all in after gifting other countries billions in foreign aid setting up their countries at the peril of our own...

Everywhere I shop today just about everything is "MADE IN CHINA" and it dawned on me that every time I buy something made in China I am actually funding China to buy up my own country out from under my feet. We are making China so much profit they can now afford to buy us right out which is exactly what they are doing and our Government is helping them do so.

Today I drive the main roads around Adelaide and all I see is the empty buildings that once housed all these great manufacturing companies and when I drive past the Holden Plant at Elizebeth totally empty I begin to literally cry for what has happened to my once great nation.

This overpaid government need more taxes to live on so they are now going to force our elderly (God bless them, for they were the ones that helped build this Nation in the first place) back into the workforce until they are 70. and tell everyone to go out and get a JOB!! But this is NOT just South Australia, this has happened all over Australia.

So can someone in this new Corporate Government tell us EXACTLY WHERE THESE BLOODY JOBS ARE???????????????????????

ALL YOU HAD TO DO WAS SELL THE MILK AUSTRALIA... NOT THE WHOLE COW!

TODAY EVERY SINGLE THING LISTED ABOVE IS NOW GONE, GONE, GONE AND JUST LEFT TO DECAY!!!!

HOW THIS ONCE MIGHTY 100% SELF SUFFICIENT NATION HAS FALLEN...

There was this comment on one of YouTube's videos of Dan Andrews' press conference. I don't know where he's got the information from or whether it is true, time will tell:

"they want to use future food to control the population via food parcels etc, and this is all to introduce an emergency covid budget which includes a digital only debit card with a balance of $4,500 per person. so when the food begins to run thin in january, and the economy has collapsed after christmas. they can set out an EMERGENCY BUDGET, which could possibly include bailing-in and freezing all bank accounts. hence the debit card which you will live on, jobless while you queue for your food at any of the main chain stores. in your mask of course, awaiting instructions. thats 2021. this man (Dan Andrews) lying through his back teeth."

Police blow whistle on coronavirus deception
NSW Police Open Letter Concerning the Police Enforcement of ongoing COVID-19 restrictions:

"A LETTER written by a senior constable from the Coffs/Clarence Highway Patrol and signed by colleagues, has exposed the COVID-19 narrative for its deception and the harm it is causing to police and their relations with the public.

The letter, dated October 26, is addressed to NSW Commissioner of Police Michael Fuller and is one of the best rebuttals of the COVID narrative of fear and control written anywhere, noting false predictions of its severity, false and misleading statistics, flaws in testing and serious questions around the virus itself.

The letter makes the very strong point that in the same way they cannot use an inaccurate speed detection device on motorists, the same must be demanded of the RT PCR test and as such, “police should not in any way” mandate testing for COVID-19, or rely on the results.

For police to raise this within their own ranks may be portrayed as controversial but the action is consistent with common law enforcement, e.g. investigating, exposing and prosecuting a crime of deception carried out against the public.

The letter signatories are urging fellow police officers across the country to write a similar letter to their respective police commissioners, or to sign their form at this link. https://advocateme.wixsite.com/copsforcovidtruth

The letter reads:
RE: Open Letter Concerning the Police Enforcement of ongoing COVID-19 restrictions

We are writing to you to raise concerns we have about the use of the police to enforce the ongoing restrictions placed upon our citizens relating to COVID-19, which has seriously eroded community trust in our great police force. Since the Attorney General Declared a State of Emergency for the novel coronavirus, our governments have acted upon certain powers to impose restrictions on its citizens, using the police to enforce their rules. Due to the novel nature of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, most people concurred that certain restrictions should be followed, until more was learnt about the virus.

With the initial modelling from the Imperial College in the UK [1] and the Peter Doherty Institute here in Australia, indicating a catastrophic number of cases that would severely burden our hospital system and could result in up to 150,000 Australian deaths [2], it is easy to comprehend why our governments would respond as they did and why the vast population would comply.

With these frightening projections it became evident that we needed to find a way to quickly diagnose the disease. Yet the Centre for Disease Control in the US states that “no quantified virus isolates of the 2019-nCoV are currently available”. [3] So even without the virus being isolated, the RT PCR test was picked to become the gold standard for testing.

We note that the modelling was later found to have serious calculation errors, such that experts who later reviewed it have said “no serious scientist gives (it) any validity”. [4, 5] And now the RT PCR test has been proven to be unreliable at best, with the inventor stating it should “never be used to diagnose infectious disease”, because it cannot tell if what it detected is alive or dead. [6, 7, 8] This test is still being relied upon to make critical decisions in the interest of public health and safety.

In the same way we cannot use an inaccurate speed detection device to proctor a civilian’s speed, the same must be demanded of a faulty RT PCR test and as such, police should not in any way mandate testing for covid-19, or rely on any outcome of the results. Now that we have almost 12 months of statistical data that can be relied upon, in place of flawed computer modelling, these statistics show a reality that is far from the modelling projections, which were relied upon by National Cabinet in their response. Here are some statistics which reflect this reality:

For example, we now know that around 45% of people who contract the virus are asymptomatic [9] and asymptomatic transmission is between 0-2.2% [10]. We also know that 80% of people who contract the virus will only have mild symptoms [11] and it is overwhelmingly the elderly and immuno-compromised who are at risk of severe symptoms that could result in death. [12] At the time of writing, the world-wide survival rate for covid-19 is 97.3%. [13] The ordinary flu is 99.9%. [14] Furthermore, statistics clearly show that while the confirmed cases may be on the rise, the percentage of deaths is plummeting.

Sweden and Taiwan did not enforce lockdown on its citizens like much of the world did. Although Sweden failed to take better precautions to protect the elderly in the early stages, their death rate is comparable, and Taiwan’s is outstanding. The statistics show there is a high infection rate across the globe, but very low deaths; regardless of whether there was forced lockdowns or not. What we can derive from analysis of this is that these two distinctly different ways have resulted in much the same outcome.

We note from the recent Federal budget, huge debt and unemployment, is that our lockdowns have created a series of problems that now seem to outweigh the threat this virus poses. In our line of work, we know that the socioeconomical problems created here will transpire into a greater threat down the track, as people struggle to deal with the collateral damage this is causing.

We have been told that the advice from the World Health Organization is a key aspect to the National Cabinet response, yet Dr David Nabarro of the WHO recently stated “We in the World Health Organization do not advocate lockdowns as the primary means of control of this virus,” [15] So in spite of the facts, as they stand now, it would appear that the National Cabinet has been lagging in its capacity to adapt to the reality of the situation and this is causing them to fail in their duty to respond in proportion to the risk. The risk being overwhelmingly with the elderly and immunocompromised. [16, 17, 18]

What is even more concerning is the prohibition on prescribing hydroxychloroquine for COVID-19 [19], when over 121 peer reviewed scientific studies have shown it to be effective in treating and preventing the disease [20, 21, 22]. Instead, the federal government has done a vaccine deal with AstraZeneca [23] and Australians told we cannot expect to go back to normal until a vaccine arrives.

AstraZeneca has been found guilty of offences relating to off-label or unapproved promotion of medical products, making false claims, kickbacks and bribery, consumer protection violation, healthcare offences, government-contracting violations and more. Since 2000 they have been fined over US$1.1billion dollars for these offences and violations. [24] Still, they have been granted protection from future product liability claims relating to its COVID-19 vaccine [25].

Alarmingly, Prime Minister Scott Morrison stated they will make the vaccine “as mandatory as you can possibly make it” [26], in spite of the criminal record of its producer, their exemption from liability claims, the fact we already have at least two approved and extremely safe medications in Ivermectin [27] and hydroxychloroquine; shown to be effective treatments and the reality that the virus does not pose a serious threat to the healthy. It seems these decisions appear to be corporate interests, not in the best interests of public health and wellbeing as is claimed.

All this indicates that the ongoing restrictions on the healthy population is a disproportionate response, yet the police are still expected to continue to enforce these measures and at risk of being forced to vaccinate against a disease that is showing not to be virulent, with a vaccine that has had no long-term safety studies and then forcing it upon the population. The evidence would suggest resources are better directed to protect the vulnerable.

We are concerned with the legitimacy of the actions we are being told to take against the citizens of Australia. States and territories cannot rise above the commonwealth constitution as well as international treaties we are signatories to, yet this is occurring. Under the state of emergency, the emergency requirements are qualified and restricted by the significant fact that emergency requirements and directions cannot request an individual to be isolated, detained, tested, vaccinated, medically treated or bodily searched in the absence of a biosecurity control order issued to the individual.

These measures are referred to as biosecurity measures and are captured under Subdivision B of Division 3 of Part 3 of Chapter 2 of the Biosecurity Act 2015. [28] (Emergency and public health powers, at the States and Territories, do not provide a carte blanche to breach an individual’s human rights by isolating them, or detaining them or testing them without the proper required notifications and risk assessments first).

There is an inter-governmental agreement [29] which places the Commonwealth in the lead as well as the Australian Health Sector Emergency Response Plan [30]. This ensures that the States and Territories act to compliment the Federal Legislative Framework. Article 7 of the international convenient of civil and political rights states “no-one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel inhuman, or degrading treatment or punishment, in particular, no-one shall be subjected without his free consent to medical or scientific experimentation.” [31]

Article 27 of the Vienna convention on the law of treatise “A party may not invoke the provision of its internal law as justification of its failure to perform a treaty.” [32] Article 7 of the Australian human rights commission Act 1986 states “no-one should be subjected to torture or to cruel inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment, in particular, no-one shall be subject without his free consent to medical or scientific experimentation. [33]

Section 109 of the commonwealth of Australia constitution states “when a law of a state is inconsistent with a law of the commonwealth, the latter shall prevail, and the former shall to the extent of the inconsistency being valid.” [34] With federal and international legislation breaches, it will be taken that we are complicit and consensual in their undertaking on the people of Australia, potentially rendering us criminally liable under the Crimes Act 1914 [35], as well as the Criminal Code Act 1995 [36].

Many members of the force are fed up with the approach to enforce oppressive rules placed upon the population in the name of COVID-19 and the looming mandatory vaccinations. We feel a real calling to do our part to stop this oppression, so we are writing to you to raise the following issues:-

Police Force employees have ‘choice’ as to whether or not to receive vaccines;
The Police believe that all members of the community also have choice around receiving vaccines;
Police do not participate in any way in the forcing of vaccines upon the population;
That the Police Association start preparing to defend Police employees who choose to not be vaccinated
To raise the alarm that there is a global dictatorship occurring and the Police Force is being used as a tool to push these global and corporate agendas upon the population; and
To warn the Police Force not to simply acquiesce to these requests, rules and laws and to act in the best interest of its population, not tyranny of government.

Recently letters have been written to our leaders from the legal fraternity, including high profile Judges and QC’s [37], The Australian Institute for Progress penned by 30 public intellectuals including 15 professors of relevant disciplines, one of whom is an advisor on health and well-being economics to the UK government [38], Advocate Me’s open letter to all leaders seeking to review disproportionate response to SAR-CoV-2 [39], as well as hundreds of doctors from the medical fraternity [40]. Despite the government continually parroting that they are following the advice of ‘the experts’, all these requests have been ignored and the police used as the enforcers of these senseless rules. We ask that you consider the information provided herein and the NSW Police Force statement of values: –

Each member of the Police Force is to Act in a manner which: Places integrity above all; Upholds the rule of law; Preserves the rights and freedoms of individuals; Seeks to improve the quality of life by community involvement in policing; Strives for citizen and police personal satisfaction; Capitalises on the wealth of human resources; Makes efficient and economical use of public resources; and Ensures that authority is exercised responsibly.

Many of us believe that we are removing our own rights and freedoms by enforcing these rules upon the community, including our family and friends. And the community are confounded by the intensified police enforcement around peaceful freedom protests and how inconsistent this was when compared with the Black Lives Matter protests. This contradiction is further destroying public confidence.

We are reaching out to all our fellow police officers across the country, to write a similar letter to their respective police commissioners, or sign our form at https://advocateme.wixsite.com/copsforcovidtruth to show your support for this stance, which we have called Cops for Covid Truth. With trust in our police force now seriously eroded, we ask you to consider now challenging the necessity of the ongoing restrictions to restore community trust, by being an integral part of returning our State and Country back to normality.

WOW, just WOW. So encouraging to read this statement from our Police Officers. Covers all bases from wrongfully stopping protests, to false Covid data and false testing, to Hyrdochloroquine, to Government tyranny, etc.

So proud of these guys :thumbsup:

Unfortunately Serene Teffaha, the solicitor compiling the stats and report, who is credible, isn't a particularly polished public speaker. She's very, rightly, passionate which makes her an easy target to discredit. Unfair, yes, but it is what it is.

With a bit of luck some of the more "optics acceptable" public personas will grab and run with this. We'll have to wait and see.

The statistics show there is a high infection rate across the globe, but very low deaths; regardless of whether there was forced lockdowns or not. What we can derive from analysis of this is that these two distinctly different ways have resulted in much the same outcome.

We note from the recent Federal budget, huge debt and unemployment, is that our lockdowns have created a series of problems that now seem to outweigh the threat this virus poses. In our line of work, we know that the socioeconomical problems created here will transpire into a greater threat down the track, as people struggle to deal with the collateral damage this is causing.

We have been told that the advice from the World Health Organization is a key aspect to the National Cabinet response, yet Dr David Nabarro of the WHO recently stated “We in the World Health Organization do not advocate lockdowns as the primary means of control of this virus,” [15] So in spite of the facts, as they stand now, it would appear that the National Cabinet has been lagging in its capacity to adapt to the reality of the situation and this is causing them to fail in their duty to respond in proportion to the risk. The risk being overwhelmingly with the elderly and immunocompromised. [16, 17, 18]

What is even more concerning is the prohibition on prescribing hydroxychloroquine for COVID-19 [19], when over 121 peer reviewed scientific studies have shown it to be effective in treating and preventing the disease [20, 21, 22]. Instead, the federal government has done a vaccine deal with AstraZeneca [23] and Australians told we cannot expect to go back to normal until a vaccine arrives.

AstraZeneca has been found guilty of offences relating to off-label or unapproved promotion of medical products, making false claims, kickbacks and bribery, consumer protection violation, healthcare offences, government-contracting violations and more. Since 2000 they have been fined over US$1.1billion dollars for these offences and violations. [24] Still, they have been granted protection from future product liability claims relating to its COVID-19 vaccine [25].

Alarmingly, Prime Minister Scott Morrison stated they will make the vaccine “as mandatory as you can possibly make it” [26], in spite of the criminal record of its producer, their exemption from liability claims, the fact we already have at least two approved and extremely safe medications in Ivermectin [27] and hydroxychloroquine; shown to be effective treatments and the reality that the virus does not pose a serious threat to the healthy. It seems these decisions appear to be corporate interests, not in the best interests of public health and wellbeing as is claimed.

All this indicates that the ongoing restrictions on the healthy population is a disproportionate response, yet the police are still expected to continue to enforce these measures and at risk of being forced to vaccinate against a disease that is showing not to be virulent, with a vaccine that has had no long-term safety studies and then forcing it upon the population. The evidence would suggest resources are better directed to protect the vulnerable.

We are concerned with the legitimacy of the actions we are being told to take against the citizens of Australia. States and territories cannot rise above the commonwealth constitution as well as international treaties we are signatories to, yet this is occurring. Under the state of emergency, the emergency requirements are qualified and restricted by the significant fact that emergency requirements and directions cannot request an individual to be isolated, detained, tested, vaccinated, medically treated or bodily searched in the absence of a biosecurity control order issued to the individual.

These measures are referred to as biosecurity measures and are captured under Subdivision B of Division 3 of Part 3 of Chapter 2 of the Biosecurity Act 2015. [28] (Emergency and public health powers, at the States and Territories, do not provide a carte blanche to breach an individual’s human rights by isolating them, or detaining them or testing them without the proper required notifications and risk assessments first).

There is an inter-governmental agreement [29] which places the Commonwealth in the lead as well as the Australian Health Sector Emergency Response Plan [30]. This ensures that the States and Territories act to compliment the Federal Legislative Framework. Article 7 of the international convenient of civil and political rights states “no-one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel inhuman, or degrading treatment or punishment, in particular, no-one shall be subjected without his free consent to medical or scientific experimentation.” [31]

Article 27 of the Vienna convention on the law of treatise “A party may not invoke the provision of its internal law as justification of its failure to perform a treaty.” [32] Article 7 of the Australian human rights commission Act 1986 states “no-one should be subjected to torture or to cruel inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment, in particular, no-one shall be subject without his free consent to medical or scientific experimentation. [33]

Section 109 of the commonwealth of Australia constitution states “when a law of a state is inconsistent with a law of the commonwealth, the latter shall prevail, and the former shall to the extent of the inconsistency being valid.” [34] With federal and international legislation breaches, it will be taken that we are complicit and consensual in their undertaking on the people of Australia, potentially rendering us criminally liable under the Crimes Act 1914 [35], as well as the Criminal Code Act 1995 [36].

Many members of the force are fed up with the approach to enforce oppressive rules placed upon the population in the name of COVID-19 and the looming mandatory vaccinations. We feel a real calling to do our part to stop this oppression, so we are writing to you to raise the following issues:-

Police Force employees have ‘choice’ as to whether or not to receive vaccines;
The Police believe that all members of the community also have choice around receiving vaccines;
Police do not participate in any way in the forcing of vaccines upon the population;
That the Police Association start preparing to defend Police employees who choose to not be vaccinated
To raise the alarm that there is a global dictatorship occurring and the Police Force is being used as a tool to push these global and corporate agendas upon the population; and
To warn the Police Force not to simply acquiesce to these requests, rules and laws and to act in the best interest of its population, not tyranny of government.

Recently letters have been written to our leaders from the legal fraternity, including high profile Judges and QC’s [37], The Australian Institute for Progress penned by 30 public intellectuals including 15 professors of relevant disciplines, one of whom is an advisor on health and well-being economics to the UK government [38], Advocate Me’s open letter to all leaders seeking to review disproportionate response to SAR-CoV-2 [39], as well as hundreds of doctors from the medical fraternity [40]. Despite the government continually parroting that they are following the advice of ‘the experts’, all these requests have been ignored and the police used as the enforcers of these senseless rules. We ask that you consider the information provided herein and the NSW Police Force statement of values: –

Each member of the Police Force is to Act in a manner which: Places integrity above all; Upholds the rule of law; Preserves the rights and freedoms of individuals; Seeks to improve the quality of life by community involvement in policing; Strives for citizen and police personal satisfaction; Capitalises on the wealth of human resources; Makes efficient and economical use of public resources; and Ensures that authority is exercised responsibly.

Many of us believe that we are removing our own rights and freedoms by enforcing these rules upon the community, including our family and friends. And the community are confounded by the intensified police enforcement around peaceful freedom protests and how inconsistent this was when compared with the Black Lives Matter protests. This contradiction is further destroying public confidence.

We are reaching out to all our fellow police officers across the country, to write a similar letter to their respective police commissioners, or sign our form at https://advocateme.wixsite.com/copsforcovidtruth to show your support for this stance, which we have called Cops for Covid Truth. With trust in our police force now seriously eroded, we ask you to consider now challenging the necessity of the ongoing restrictions to restore community trust, by being an integral part of returning our State and Country back to normality.
