The police state over reaction in Australia to the coronavirus is part of the social suicide of the West. Police here hold democracy and human rights in contempt to serve leftist politics. I am proud that I created this in homage to a man who has at least admitted in these times that the social fabric of freedom matters: https://freedom-demokrasi-and-civilised-humanity.com/2020/02/07/one-minutes-silence-for-sotu/

Australian reporter Rita Panahi slammed China's Communist Regime and the World Health Organization for their failures to prevent the spread of the Wuhan coronavirus outbreak. China was so worried about making sure they weren't blamed for the virus that they did everything in their power to keep whistleblowers quiet. Instead of sounding the alarm about the Wuhan coronavirus, the WHO parroted the regime's talking points, saying the virus wasn't transmitted through person-to-person contact. The organization also failed to recommend travel bans to China. "I want to talk about China's culpability and conduct throughout the coronavirus crisis that began in Wuhan...

A Chinese government-backed property giant has secretly raided in bulk Australia’s supplies of masks, hand sanitiser, antibacterial wipes and essential medical supplies and shipped them back to China. The Greenland Group, which manages high-end real estate projects in Sydney and Melbourne, proactively drained Australian supplies of anti-coronavirus equipment, The Sydney Morning Herald reported. Three million surgical masks, 500,000 pairs of gloves and bulk supplies of sanitiser and wipes were bought up in Australia and other countries where Greenland operates. While the bulk purchases and shipping were perfectly legitimate, the goods shipped in bulk to China include the very items that...

In Italy, there are stories of neighborhoods coming together in mass singalongs and...

Dozens of videos have emerged of East Asian look alike people or possibly Chinese people who are intentionally spreading the Corona Virus by spitting on food, inside of elevators and wiping saliva on park benches. Some of the videos shown display Chinese citizens spitting directly on strangers.

..A group of patients who were among the first in Australia with confirmed cases of coronavirus have been successfully treated using two existing drugs. They were given HIV medication Kaletra and malaria treatment hydroxychloroquine in a secret trial. The test was so successful that the same drugs will now be given to COVID-19 patients in 50 hospitals around Australia. The two drugs were highly effective when used against coronavirus in test tubes. Researchers then conducted a secret trial on the group of patients - all of whom have completely recovered.

Australia's unofficial national anthem, "Waltzing Matilda" is a song about suicide. How can that be? Scroll down in this post for a glossary: https://tujuhbelasan.com/2020/03/22/sustainable-development-9-waltzing-matilda-in-indonesian/ It is worth noting that the Indonesian revolutionary war slogan "Merdeka atau Mati" (Free or Dead) can be made to work well rhythmically with the English "You'll never catch me alive" cred he. At least I think so. Indonesia is an incredibly free country. The West cannot afford to ignore it as a balance to totalitarian China. Who agrees? I have not ignored this huge republic.

MINNEAPOLIS — Rep. Ilhan Omar’s marriage appears to be headed for the rocks, a longtime friend of the couple told The Post. The congresswoman’s husband, Ahmed Hirsi, the source said, is poised to file for divorce after the revelation in a bombshell court filing that she allegedly had an affair with DC political consultant Tim Mynett. The Minnesota congresswoman and her husband allegedly separated in March, and Omar asked Hirsi to divorce her around that time because she didn’t want to file the papers — but Hirsi refused, telling her if she wanted a divorce she should do it herself,...

WASHINGTON — Hillary Clinton raked-in more cash from convicted rapist Harvey Weinstein than any other politician despite brushing off his donations by claiming he gave money to “every” Democrat. Federal Election Commission filings show the disgraced movie mogul bundled $1.4 million for Clinton during her presidential bid in 2016 and handed her another $73,390 dating back to her 1999 New York Senate seat run. On Tuesday, the former first lady defended her long relationship with the sex creep, quickly deflecting scrutiny from reporters by noting that Weinstein also raised funds for Barack Obama, John Kerry and Al Gore during their...

One of Jeffrey Epstein’s accusers says he raped and trafficked her for two years before throwing her out onto the street when she told him she had developed an eating disorder, according to a new lawsuit against the dead pedophile’s estate. Teala Davies was just 17 when she met the wealthy financier in 2002 through her older sister — whom he was also abusing — and claims he groomed her to become totally dependent on him, according to the complaint filed Thursday in Manhattan federal court. Davies was working as a hairdresser in Los Angeles and says Epstein fostered her...

Presidential hopeful Mike Bloomberg takes credit for leading New York “through” the 9/11 attacks in a campaign ad. But there’s one problem: He didn’t become mayor until four months later. Touting his leadership chops, the billionaire released a 30-second video including the claim. “I led a complex, diverse city through 9/11 and I have common-sense plans to move America away from the chaos to progress,” Bloomberg, 78, is seen saying at a campaign rally. But Rudy Giuliani was mayor during the attacks, and he didn’t hand Bloomberg the keys to Gracie Mansion until Jan. 1, 2002.

Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders’ campaigns [are] suspending all appearances until further notice amid the deadly coronavirus pandemic.

It’s the Democratic presidential debate: Coronavirus edition. Sunday night’s debate is keeping former veep Joe Biden and Sen. Bernie Sanders at a safe distance amid the deadly pandemic, with the two men debating each other from lecterns placed six feet away from each other.

President Donald Trump plans to declare a national emergency on Friday, the most significant move yet by the U.S. government to head off the coronavirus outbreak.

Actress Rosario Dawson said she voted for Bernie Sanders on the same day her boyfriend and former presidential hopeful Sen. Cory Booker endorsed Joe Biden. In an Instagram post on Monday night, the “Men in Black II” actress and activist, who was a surrogate for Sanders in 2016, said she was proud to support the 78-year-old socialist senator from Vermont. “I got to vote for Bernie again and I did,” Dawson wrote in the lengthy post. “Whoever it is that you’re supporting I hope that you are doing it consciously, with heart and with a ballot.
