Just awful what tyrants are doing to their people, worldwide.

Lessons to be learned.

There will always be a “record” number of Covid cases - it is who counts the votes/case that matter.

"We are in a very serious situation here in New South Wales," state Health Minister Brad Hazzard said. "There is no time now to be selfish, it's time to think of the broader community and your families."

It took a while. Not that I was really ever interested, but it was bound to happen.

It all began in 1996. And now we see the results of how Australians made a stupid, tragic mistake.

And the thing is no one forced them to give up their guns. There were no Nazis, not at that time as there is now, that rounded up over 1 million personal weapons. Australians did it to themselves. They voluntarily surrendered their guns to the state.

And now we see the after affect.

They’re not “poilce” if they’re trampling on the rights of free people

There’s a saying,

When democracy becomes tyranny, an armed citizenry still has a vote.

Australians do not have a vote.

Go, Aussies, go. You’re well ahead of us with your courage. We’ve lost our cojones, but hopefully we’ll get back to making leftists cringe in their fur-lined boots silly little useless masks.

The aussies let a bunch of pinko fags cow them into making the country a safer place without the average joe owning a firearm. And they bought it, they were as dumb as the jews pre ww2. .. You don't believe this will happen in the U.S. asap after the 2nd amendment is changed??

Study history or prepare to relive the horribly bad parts...

There is nothing new under the sun,

dont pull out fence posts just because they are in your way and you dont know why they were put there in the first place!!

Australia is now in the phase of dystopian tyranny where politicians yell at citizens for watching the sunset!

If we take all of our shots, and stay inside, will they allow us food?

“Australia’s Covid-19 numbers are still relatively low compared to other developed countries, with just over 43,000 cases and 978 deaths.”

~1000 deaths, ~25 million people in Australia.

Wonder how many die in this period of time from suicide?

According to the site below, 3298 died in accidental falls in 2019. Influenza and pneumonia took over 4000 lives. Intentional self-harm, 3318. None of those led to lockdown and deprivation of civil rights.

The ONLY way out from under this disease and the tyrants, is going to work. Spread the germs freely among those with comorbidities. Let people catch and defeat the virus, and it goes away. The Delta variant is .07% different than the original. The so called vaccinated are the bio-reactors. Carrying disease that is not eradicated, so it mutates. Whether this is a side effect or a feature, I don’t know. The Technocrats are in control, and they are as smart and as stupid as Rick Moranis in “Honey I shrunk the Kids”.

This is why I stopped supporting the police folks.

When it comes down to it, they're going to enforce unlawful directives because they're getting paid and at the end of the day they get to go home and see their families.

Now I don't want nothing to happen to them, but I have stopped supporting Back the Blue and other police organizations.

Do we have a vote when elections are not allowed to be watched or looked at after the fact?

A Jan. 6 prisoner who was out on bail may be jailed for breaking his terms of parole. His crime? He has not denounced Trump. He had the audacity to listen to Mike Lindell. Be afraid.
