COVID Mandates In Victoria, Australia,
Have Unexpected Consequences

Original Article

If Lockdowns were an Olympic sport, Victoria, Australia would be hard to beat. It’s been described as the most locked-down place in the world under COVID-19. (snip) A perfect example is Monica Smit, of Reignite Democracy Australia, who served 22 days in jail in solitary confinement after being charged with incitement. Her crime? Organizing a protest against lockdowns. (snip) (snip) The subsequent publicity fueled by the mainstream media (and their personal resentment towards Monica), helped Smit gain extensive public donations to her defense fund. That in turn, has helped RDA’s financial coffers in fighting COVID-19 restrictions and in furthering its political efforts.

Unbelievable the list of restrictions they wanted her to sign. When she refused she was jailed and put in solitary confinement for three weeks. One of the restrictions was she was banned from leaving her state of Victoria. Can you imagine any democratic government doing that? I wonder when they'll build a wall around the state and next we'll be seeing Australians being shot as they try flee to the part of Australia that's free. Shades of East Berlin

Maybe, just MAYBE the Australians will actually vote for a change. We'll see. The totaltarian thugs run things in Victoria, that's for sure. And not having a real constitution means you have no rights. And the state paper is a lukewarm nothingburger as far as rights.

If "special duties and responsibilities are attached," it's not a right.

And here I thought the English-speaking world would be immune to communist behaviour. Well, Biden has been channeling elderly Soviet leaders, Breshnev, Andropov and Chernov. Now Australia has begun to channel the KGB. Plenty of room in the Outback for kangaroos and gulags...g'day mate, yeeaah, see ya in 20 .

The worst kind of domestic terrorism 2 replies
Posted by Magnante 11/22/2021 9:08:13 AM Post Reply
Joe Biden thinks that a normal Midwest family is a group of domestic terrorists, if they peacefully guard their family business against rioters, arsonists, and looters. (snip) Again and again, Darrell Brooks – the alleged driver in the Waukesha parade killings - was caught, processed, and intentionally released. Despite a history that demonstrates his ongoing threat to the community, charges were repeatedly dropped or pled down, sentences were reduced to time served (such as, in one case, just nineteen days), and he was always given work-release, probation, and bail, despite a record of continuing to perpetrate violations whenever he was set free.

Last week, Dr. Anthony Fauci made perhaps the most damning confession in the Covid vaccine saga. So far-reaching are the implications of his statement that the interview in which he made it may well prove a turning point in the fight against the vaccine fraud that is being perpetrated on the peoples of the world. In a November 12 podcast session with the New York Times, Fauci was forced to admit the fact that the vaccines do not reliably protect their recipients from serious Covid or death. (snip) Fauci’s words amount to the admission that the vaccinated are getting infected and more and more of them are ending up in hospital

It’s no secret that Americans are paying record prices at the gas pumps. (snip) So why now, of all times, is the Biden administration selling off America’s Strategic Petroleum Reserve (“SPR”) to Asia? As the name suggests, the SPR is America’s emergency backup supply of oil. (snip) Biden is now under pressure to tap the SPR to relieve some of the pressure on fuel prices. (snip) It turns out, though, that Biden is already tapping into the SPR; he’s just not doing it to help Americans. (snip) Biden is selling massive amounts of SPR oil...to Asia!

Is Joe Biden plotting with House Democrats to replace Kamala Harris? Sure looks that way, given some curious goings on reported by Fox News's straight-news congressional correspondent, Chad Pergram (snip) The Pergram report follows from another rumor just a day ago of a Biden plan to kick Harris upstairs: Rumors have circulated that Biden may even be considering nominating Harris for a Supreme Court seat if one becomes vacant so that he can select a new Vice President. (snip) What's significant about that is that Joe has decades of friendships, alliances, and honor-among-thieves relationships throughout Congress. Harris, by contrast, has few allies, given her self-serving and ambitious nature.
Kyle Rittenhouse’s attorneys allege
that the prosecution hid evidence

During the Kyle Rittenhouse trial, the prosecution argued that Kyle provoked the men who attacked him by waving his gun. To prove this, during the trial, the prosecution gave the defense fuzzy drone footage. There was a great deal of argument about what could be extrapolated from that fuzzy view. It turns out that the prosecution had within its possession a high-quality video that it played for the judge after the trial ended. On this, and other evidentiary grounds, the defense moved for a mistrial with prejudice.

In America, a medical ethicist says it’s fine for primary care practitioners to refuse to treat unvaccinated people. In France, older people who don’t get their boosters will be denied access to amenities. And in Austria, unvaccinated people will be confined to house arrest. For a disease with a minimal mortality rate for healthy people under 60, the race to otherize them continues unabated. (snip)You’d think all the rules that applied to AIDS would apply here: Doctors must take all comers, nobody gets judged for being sick, and a patient’s health status is private. But no.

Back when the experts didn’t know if the new vaccines would even be “effective at preventing symptomatic COVID-19 infections,” the government, media, corporations, and public health intelligentsia still relentlessly pushed the stuff on Americans while proclaiming that they were 90-percent effective, and Dr. Anthony Fauci openly presumed that we’d “really need for 75-to-85-percent of the population to get vaccinated to achieve herd immunity.” (snip) There is a distinct danger in the government’s allowing the continued existence of that disobedient one-in-five who’ve bucked the state-approved guidance. They stand as evidence, you see, of the government health intelligentsia’s fallibility.

Watching the news, one sees constant stories about COVID numbers rising, yet again, now almost two years into this pandemic, with COVID hospitalizations in some states higher than they have ever been except for the spike last December. In my state of Colorado, the test positivity rate is almost 10 percent, with 1 in 48 infected and if the current trend continues, this will be the worst COVID spike the state has seen. On the surface, that doesn’t make sense, since nearly 80 percent of eligible Coloradans have received at least one vaccine dose, suggesting the vaccines are not working as well as they should or as advertised

The two major political elements in play over the past year are closely intertwined. Those are the new left-wing blatancy, in which the American Left scarcely attempts to hide its actual agenda anymore, and the vast number of enemies the left is lining up against itself throughout American society. In hindsight, this makes perfect sense. How could the Left hope to maintain the support of the mass of Americans once its actual goals and methods became evident? In the past, leftists made a serious effort to shield their true agenda from scrutiny using a wide range of methods – wrapping itself in a veil of “compassion,”

Kyle Rittenhouse, who was recently acquitted by a Kenosha, WI jury on multiple charges, including murder, told Fox News Channel’s Tucker Carlson that he actually supported peaceful demonstrations and the Black Lives Matter movement. He also insists he is not racist during a preview of an interview set to air on Monday on FNC’s “Tucker Carlson Tonight.” “This case has nothing to do with race,” Rittenhouse said. “It never had anything to do with race. It had to do with the right to self-defense.” “I’m not a racist person,” he continued. “I support the BLM movement. I support peacefully demonstrating. I believe there needs to be change

The relationship between Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and their respective staffs has been on rocky ground for months. As RedState previously reported, the vice president and her camp have complained about being abandoned, even blaming racism as a possible factor, while the White House has fretted at Harris’ sheer incompetence and inability to garner support on her own. Those tensions have led to lots of speculation about what exactly happens in 2024. Harris is clearly a terrible candidate, something she showed during the 2020 presidential primary, but she’s also the heir apparent until Democrats forcibly remove her from that position.

MSNBC guest host Jason Johnson said Friday on “The ReidOut” that Kyle Rittenhouse’s not guilty verdict meant all white Americans who support Black Lives Matter can now be shot. Johnson said, “Kyle Rittenhouse killed two white men protesting on behalf of black lives and got away with it. As a single most important thing to understand about today’s ruling, by allowing him to go free and potentially commit other crimes, this jury sent the final and loudest warning to white America about the dangerous rise of White Nationalist terror in this country. One I suspect will be ignored by leaders, politicians, and the press.

A former college professor was indicted by a federal grand jury Thursday for allegedly starting four wildfires in Northern California earlier this year, near the deadly Dixie Fire. Gary Stephen Maynard, 47, faces up to 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine for each count of arson to federal property, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of California said in a statement. The blazes threatened to trap firefighters as they battled the massive Dixie blaze - the second-largest wildfire in California history - nearby, prosecutors said.
