Yes, I’m a conservative.

What I’m not is a paranoid conservative.

If this was just happening in one country I might believe in the conspiracy ideas.

But there’s no way on earth - literally - that so many countries with so many different forms of government and ideologies would be involved in something like that.

Americans seem to have this huge distrust of their governments. Maybe that’s justified in the United States.

But I don’t live in the United States.

I live in a country where I am not particularly afraid of my government.

If I was I wouldn’t have spent most of my life serving my country.

I also have the advantage that - largely because of where I went to school (the “best school in Australia”), I know quite a few of the really important people in my country. They’re not all trustworthy by any stretch of the imagination but a lot of them are.

Hell, if there was a big conspiracy, I’d probably be part of it.

I’m not. Because I don’t believe there is one.

I have to disagree. Locking citizens in a quarantine hotel for 2 weeks are the things nightmares are made of.

Interesting comment. I speak for me and millions of other Americans. We were not afraid of our government 10 years ago. Even when Obama was President. Now? We are afraid. If not afraid, then sad and disgusted for the country that we lost.

See tagline.
