    The world needs to understand what is happening in Australia...

    This man wanted to withdraw $5,000 from his own bank account and was arrested for it.

    More to the point: Australians themselves need to understand what is happening and take corrective action. The problem is, most Australians are either blithely unaware of what is creeping up on them, or they simply don’t care enough to ‘draw a line in the sand’. That’s the frightening part. The problem lies within the mindset of the citizens of Australia, not the ridiculousness of the situation we see in this video. Australians apparently have learned very little from the Covid era, as they still seem to be happy to passively allow corporations’ and government overreach in progressively more aspects of their lives.

    It isn’t confined to Australia of course, it’s a mind-virus that paralyses people through fear and ignorance into inaction and blind acquiescence all over the Western world.

    Looking at this video, it seems to me that the man probably reacted inappropriately when the bank wouldn’t give him his money (not an uncommon occurrence these days I might add - on both points), so the bank called the police to remove the disruptive person. It’s unclear exactly what happened inside the bank, but gauging from the man’s behaviour in this video, I’d imagine the police are not acting inappropriately in this instance. Whether or not he was charged over this incident remains unclear.

    The onlookers in the street are heard making disparaging remarks towards the police officers. Is that the real issue? Is the man’s reaction the real issue? I think not - this, to me, is what Chris Martenson refers to as “rats in a cage”. See this 29-minute video for clarification:


    Interestingly enough, a news clip caught my attention this morning (7 minutes long), which may provide some background on government overreach within the banking system:

    This thread does not get enough activity IMO.

    I wish to share a quick video from “TopherField”. It discusses the recent Australian Government’s adoption of the WHO’s ‘pandemic treaty’, which effectively relinquishes sovereign control to a foreign (unelected) entity.

    The parameters of this ‘agreement’ have not been made clear to the Australian public. From what I understand, the boundaries of ‘overreach’ are not clearly defined.

    The parameters of this agreement seem to be very ambiguous but they certainly do alter the Constitution of Australia, and therefore should have gone to a public referendum. It didn’t, and that’s something that every Australian needs to understand. Your government is selling you out, step by step, and they’re relying on your ignorance and laziness to get away with it.

    The video clip runs for just over 11 minutes. It is important viewing for Australians.

    Years ago, at the inflexion point of the “Third Turning” in 1991 [Read “The Fourth Turning” by William Strauss and Neil Howe], media mogul Kerry Packer faced down a House of Representatives Select Committee inquiry into ownership of the print media. I’d recommend anybody who has 2 hours to spare to watch the full video, because it shows you just how government overreach begins.

    The highlights of that event are summarised in this 8 minute video clip below. Recorded on 4-Nov-1991. Pay particular attention to what Kerry Packer says at 5:56 in this clip:

    (05:56)]”You made the rules in 1986… I didn’t try to ‘sneak around the back-door’ or sneak underneath this. These rules were made in 1986. I read the rules and said “what am I allowed to do?” And that’s exactly what I’ve done.

    Now, why do you want to change the rules again? This is the first… What’s happened with this operation going on now is exactly what those rules were put in place for. It’s the first time it’s been used, it’s exactly what they’ve been put in place for. And we have obeyed them absolutely. Why do you want to change the rules again?

    I mean, since I grew up as a boy, I would imagine that, through the parliaments of Australia, from the time I was 18, 19 years old until now, there must’ve been ten thousand new laws been passed. And I don’t really think that it’s that much of a better place. And I’d like to make a suggestion to you which I think would be far more useful: If you want to pass a new law, why don’t you only do it when you’ve repealed an old one?

    I mean, this idea of just passing legislation, legislation every time someone blinks, It’s a nonsense! Nobody knows it, nobody understands it. You’ve gotta be a lawyer with books up to here… Purely and simply to do the things we used to do, and every time you pass a new law, you take somebody’s privileges away from them.”


    Kerry goes on to point out the inequities of the Australian taxation system at 7:22 in the video, in what many have agreed to be the most iconic statement against the Australian government of all time:

    ”Now, of course I am minimising my tax. And if anybody in this country doesn’t minimise their tax, they want their heads read. Because, as a government, I can tell you that you’re not spending it that well that we should be donating extra!”

    In 1991, the then Labor government was in power under Prime Minister Bob Hawke, a Rhodes scholar. (Paul Keating (the Labor Treasurer) replaced him on December 20, 1991). Isn’t it eerie, that, in 2025, this newly elected Labor / socialist regime wants to introduce a new tax on “unrealised gains”, which essentially is a tax on perceived profits that haven’t been earned yet.

    Watch the video clip:

    I feel like I am in an echo-chamber on this thread. I urge our Australian members of this forum to pay more attention to matters closer at home. Look at who your government is selling out to:



    Is saddens me to witness a ubiquitous attitude of passivity and apathy among Australians. The very people who collectively built a great nation are now allowing it to fall into ruin. What happened to that visceral national pride? It’s gone IMO. People have become lazy and submissive, without concern, without an understanding of history, without courage.



    And nobody wants to confront the fact that, while our sovereignty may be under subversive attack, we’re forgetting that “united we stand”. We collectively DO have the power to stop government overreach. It just takes courage, and a willingness to come together:



    It does not need to be an uprising. Just a peaceful understanding of non-compliance:

    I don't look at Australian politics that much and feel guilty, but find it depressing and shameful. My partner is not Australian but does pay attention to politics here and gives me summaries so I stay on the edge of awareness. I prefer to pay more attention to what is happening globally: ghastly as the news often is, strangely it pains me less than hearing what is going on in my own pathetic country.

    Thank you Violet. Yours is a really important perspective. Many Australians shy away from politics, and forgive me if I purloin an inference here - I think many would agree with your view that our political structure and machinations appear to be somewhat “depressing and shameful”. Wasteful, corrupt and utterly geared towards personal gain would be other relevant observational remarks.

    The problem is, Australians are not ‘en-mass’ stupid. They’re intuitive enough to know that what’s happening politically is not for anything as noble as the people. We all know that the only time the politicians recognise who the people are is when they look down to see who it is they’re stepping on. The other side of that problem is, nobody wants to take accountability, let alone take concerted action to reverse the decline. We’re way too scared to ‘put a foot out of line’ for fear that our fellow citizens will deride us, or even worse, exclude us. Even when those very same people secretly believe the same thing.

    To illustrate the point, watch this short two minute video from “Deap Poet’s Society (1989):


    We’ve seen Great Britain and large parts of Europe descend into a dystopian nightmare. Australia is rapidly sinking into that same quagmire, and yet we still sit idly by while our politicians create laws that only restrict our freedoms and cultural identity, not build up our prosperity.

    Australia, as a nation, had one of the highest levels of prosperity for over a century. By 1982, the steady decline had begun. Largely because the people became too complacent and comfortable. We forgot about the reason why we were so prosperous in the first place - we were proud of our identity. We worked hard, we subscribed to traditional values, we developed strong manufacturing, mining and textile industries and we forged a very unique national identity. We developed phenomenal infrastructure for a nation of only 15 million people [1982]. You can still see the remnants of this in the architecture of many of our cities and regional towns.

    Nowadays, young Australians are being told to reject their heritage, not to honour and keep it. Nowadays, it is more socially acceptable to feel entitled to recognition without earning it. I could go on, but I think we all get the point.

    Let me close with a 15-minute video that I think will strike a chord with most Australians. It outlines the ‘awakening’ period of the “Second Turning” [refer to the book: “The Fourth Turning” by Neil Howe and William Strauss (1997)] from around 1964-1984. It looks at the ‘unravelling’ period of the “Third Turning” from 1984-2007. It touches on the ‘crisis’ era of the “Fourth Turning” from 2007-present, and it ends with a hopeful message on what we can do to prevent a complete collapse of our culture:

    I’ve watched the video below twice today, because it completely echoes some of my comments in post #26. So I know I’m not the only one who realises just how precarious the western civilization’s situation is right now. (I’m also a little bit flattered that I’m not the only one who recognises some parallel references to the movie “Braveheart”

    I know people are time-poor and are not always inclined to spend 16 minutes watching yet another video clip. In this case, I urge anyone who cares enough, to invest their time to watch some quality independent journalism.

    Key points:

    1/. Australia is following the UK in censorship of free speech
    2/. The police are the ones responsible for enforcing these heinous ‘laws’
    3/. People (civilians and citizens) will abandon their freedom for security

    Please watch this:

    My fellow Australians…

    Let’s take a stroll down “Amnesia Lane”. Years ago, Australian commercial television ads were publicised to encourage national pride, community spirit and social cohesion. Let’s take a look at some of these now. All short videos (less than 2 mins):



    The “Do the Right Thing” ads were iconic throughout the 1970’s:

    And 1980’s:


    We encouraged our citizens to holiday within our own country first:


    We had a booming steel and manufacturing industry:


    These days, such ads would be considered ‘racist’ and ‘exclusionary’…

    And here’s the absolute irony. Look at the Labor Party’s political campaign message in 1996:


    So tell me, folks, what has happened in the last 30 years or so?

    More to the point: what are Australians about to do about it? We’ve been sold down the river while we sit idly by hoping that we’ll get lucky on the poker machines or something. Not going to happen folks.

    “Not unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot. Nothing is going to get better, it’s not!”
    - Dr Seuss - “The Lorax”

    “I mean, since I grew up as a boy, I’d imagine that though the parliaments of Australia from my years of 18 or 19 years old until now, there must have been ten thousand new laws been passed. And I don’t think it’s really that much of a better place. And I’d like to make a suggestion to you that I think would be far more useful; If you’re going to pass a new law, why don’t you only do it when you’ve repealed an old one?
    I mean this idea of just passing legislation after legislation every time someone blinks, it’s a nonsense! Nobody knows it, nobody understands it, you’ve gotta be a lawyer, with books up to here… Purely and simply to do the things we used to do, and every time you pass a new law, you take somebody’s privileges away from them.”
