Only this time the inmates are Australians themselves.
Australia is in a very dark place.
The army has been drafted in to force people to stay in their homes, going door-to-door to check for compliance. Police helicopters circle overhead, threatening anyone in parks or public spaces with police action and fines; there is genuine fear over being caught outside without a permissible excuse.
No one is allowed more than 5 kilometers from their home address, only one person per household may leave to purchase supplies once a day, and Sydney-siders are not permitted to speak to friends or stop to browse; they may only get what they need and return home.
And this is all for 239 cases from 110,000 tests.
Other states are not faring much better. Queensland just locked down over five cases. Melbourne has been brutalized by its leader, Dan Andrews, who sees himself as something of a leader among tyrants, setting the bar for just how bad it can get and how harshly you can treat people and force them to comply.
And not a word of dissent is permitted. Not a single alternative viewpoint has made the editorials or commentariat.
The best effort has been made by Sky News Australia, loved by many as the last bastion of real talk. I made lunch plans with Rowan Dean of the popular show Outsiders when I knew I would be in Sydney. He is a good man, and is trying to keep some semblance of honesty in TV programming. For the crime of offering different opinions, Sky News Australia has been banned from YouTube for a week.
Videos from Alan Jones and the Outsiders program discussing hydroxychloroquine or ivermectin have been deleted by YouTube for violating community guidelines.
Others have been deleted by Sky News itself, including a September 2020 Outsiders clip of host Rowan Dean stating that “the jury is in on hydroxychloroquine – it saves lives,” and Jones saying there had been “rank dishonesty” around hydroxychloroquine and Australians were being denied access.
I am reminded of "The Scream" by Edvard Munch. I was deported from the country for my efforts to highlight the cruelty of keeping 35,000 people separated from their loved ones, and with them now banning media for non-compliance there is no one left to speak out for ordinary Australians.
I posted this brief explainer on my YouTube channel in support of those being imprisoned in their homes under this unofficial Marshall law.
The MailOnline picked up on my video, encouraging the compliant to pile on with attacks, labeling me a ‘far-right conspiracy theorist’ and other insults to indicate to their readership my words could be safely ignored wholesale (despite the fact I was on the Daily Mail UK payroll for two years as their retained columnist).
But I remain undaunted. If not me, then who? Who is left to speak up for Australians held hostage by their own government?
You can almost hear the desperation of these lovely people taking to my pages to support the truth: "She’s not lying," "It is this bad." Their personal stories are heartbreaking to read: suicide, depression, fear over their lives and future and whether they will ever get to leave Australia again.
The Prime Minister, Scott Morrison, says Australians will be free to leave the continent when 80% are vaccinated.
The premier of NSW, Gladys Berejiklian, says the only way these lockdowns are lifting is if 50% of the population is vaccinated. Take your jab or else.
Anyone suggesting any other treatment option is obliterated from the public square. Mock the tyranny and you can expect to be deported.
At best this is medical blackmail, at worst coercion. And yet the media nods along, supporting the government line without question, fearing a ban for any transgressions.
To the Australians that say I am the problem, that the vaccine is the only answer and army-enforced lockdowns are "for your own good"—I have nothing to say to you. You are too far gone, like angry Antifa, or looting Black Lives Matter protestors. There are no words that will reach you.
But most Australians know mine are words of truth, and that is more than enough for me. I am no stranger to governments fearing my voice. The African National Congress had me held, questioned and banned from South Africa for speaking the truth of white farmers. The truth always matters more.
I stand with ordinary Australians and I say to the Australian government, and to the premiers of each state competing for who can be the most ghastly: you can label me, you can threaten me, you can encourage the mob to attack, you can plot to take my head, you can deport my British arse BUT you cannot defeat the truth.
The truth walks on with the tens of thousands of Australians who took to the streets of New South Wales, Melbourne and Victoria for the Freedom Rally on 24 July despite the threats against them.
The truth walks on with those who are awake to this huge scam. And the truth wins out in the end.
Australia is no longer a functioning democracy. It is a fascist dictatorship whose people are imprisoned in their own homes and coerced into a medical procedure to earn the right to be set "free."
Australia is a penal colony once more. Only this time the prisoners are the resident Australians themselves.
Venezuela,China,Cuba,Old USSR, East Berlin???? The Aussie government has crossed over to the dark side.
It’s a penis colony with a bunch of dicks running the country.
The Marxists that have infiltrated our govt are no doubt looking to Australia as a template.
If Australians don’t know what time it is I’m not gonna.bother to tell them…
It was October 1996. The beginning of the end for Australia. That was when Australians lost all hope of freedom.
When they voluntarily surrendered over 650,000 personal weapons.
I’m surprised it’s taken this long for the consequences to take effect. I’m surprised they haven’t lost their freedoms prior to this point.
I often watched Sky News Australia for a bit of truth and fresh air. Of course, it was silenced in the current insanity.
I admit it. I was greatly mistaken. I thought that the countries of the free world would be brought down by the violent practitioners of the religion of peace. I was wrong. The “free world” is crumbling without any help from the outside. Western Civilization is fulfilling the wishes of those rebellious students in the 1960s. Totalitarianism is taking over what were once free countries. Canada, Australia, parts of the US, the UK.
Once the iron grip of government is extended over the entire country, there is no way to remove it. The people who enforce it love their power so much that they will not willingly let go of it. The people subject to the power are weak sheep, and will not do anything.
Searching for anything to support my waning optimism.
For those actually paying attention, this is why a country should not give up private ownership of weapons.

Americans are good people and will do the right thing even if it means waiting until there’s little hope. You are not alone, there’s at least half the country (more now) that are fed up with what’s going on. Have a plan, meet with trust friends and family and go over options. Americans are patient and think things through…we will actually let ourselves be cornered so our conscience will be clear. That time is coming. I have a very unsettling feeling for late fall to early winter.
Be ready in mind and spirit and devote to daily prayer to seek truth, wisdom and God’s direction.
--Churchill
When do these so called elected officials like Morrison and Andrews face the voters? They all need to be kicked out of office and then arrested for crimes against humanity.
A good portion of the COVID tyranny is actually vaginas (or women who have penis envy). Rabid with power liberal women are out of control. We call them Karens.
If it were only that easy....Despite what we think, I’m not sure a majority of voters will vote these people out, I think they will but I’m not 100% sure...
We’ll start to see what might happen to some of these totalitarians, Gavin Newsome comes up for recall, are enough Californians sick of him to kick him to the curb ??
All I’m saying is I agree with you, these people are criminals but the campaign to scare people into submission is so strong, I’m not sure a majority will vote them out..
The Company I work for has a dealership and several branches in Australia - besides drinking a gallon of beer a day - they are all 100% anti-trump liberals.
We brought two families over to the US in 2019 - they are mask wearing, fearful cowards
wow. kept penned up in their homes like animals. might as well be in prison.
The biggest impediment for China Joe and his team is the pesky 2nd Amendment.
The Fascist Aussie government dispelled that stumbling block by forcing the populace to turn in its weapons.
Once Pelosi and Shumer legislate the elimination of personal weapons, all the conservatives will be locked down
or locked up.
As a practical matter, women should not have political power.
My company has a branch somewhere in Oz.
I don’t know much about the place or the people there.
My day is pretty much over by the time any of them come on station.
It’s time to feed your Politicians to the Dingos
