Latest Lockdown Shows the Extent of Australia's COVID Insanity

Is Australia teeming with COVID? Is the death toll soaring astronomically? No. None of that is happening. The level of infection is low, so are deaths. If you’ve read what is happening and such conditions were ever replicated here, there is no doubt civil war would erupt. Some things are eerily familiar. The lockdowns are being used as a political tool to get bailouts for states. The over-exaggeration of the threat. The political Left’s reaction to counterprotests to the lockdowns and the rollout of the vaccine being totally screwed up. If COVID was such a threat, why is it that the government has an ‘it’s not a race’ mentality towards vaccine distribution? Australia has that and as expected, vaccination rates are low. With new lockdowns in place over variants, you must read these new protocols. It’s insanity. A Wall Street Journal op-ed aptly noted how COVID caused Australia to revert to its historical roots as a prison:

This Covid thing has shown that there are a lot more people who are germophobic and scared of things they can’t see than I ever thought.

Conditions in America are the worst they have ever been in my life in terms of government overreach and impingement of constitutionally guaranteed freedoms.

With that said, I still thank God that I am not Australian or Canadian. Two countries that I have enormous affection for.

Even as bad as it seems, it’s still far better than the closest competitor. For the folks that hate it, why haven’t they moved to Unicornville yet?

I am afraid we are about to relive the 70’s - and worse.

People across the globe are standing up and fighting against China flu lockdowns and vaccine mandates a mere 477 days since being told we need only “15 days to flatten the curve.”

We’re Not Gonna Take It and Anti-riot cops clashed with protesters in central Paris, using tear gas to break up angry mobs that are tired of useless lockdowns, immunity passports, and a possible forced vaccination plan for healthcare workers. Over 100,000 people took to the streets to show their disdain for the COVID restrictions, including “COVID-Free” letters allowing them to enter restaurants and theaters.

Rome and Paris, also, had massive anti masks & anti Covid lockdown protests!

London protests were huge!:

The portrait of Emmanuel Macron was trampled before being torn and then thrown out the window on Saturday in #Poitiers where the demonstrators invaded the Town Hall:

The question now is very simple:

Why aren’t the videos of these protests, being shown in America on: ABCNNBCBS/?!

And selfishness.

With a 98-100% chance of survival, too few are willing to risk death for liberty.

If there’s any place that’s gone full retard over Covid it’s Australia.

Add Canada, the UK and probably New Zealand to your list above.

How about gas lines and skyrocketing inflation?

I won’t be surprised to see European countries begging for the reformation of a Soviet Union.

At this point, Disco is preferable to Rap, to me, so that one doesn’t bother me.

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary.

H.L. Mencken

It has been a sad (but not unexpected) revelation to me just how many of my liberal friends have turned to outright fascism the moment their televisions convinced them that they are in constant mortal peril from anyone who even questions the party line. "You have no right to freedom if it might affect me" is what I am now getting from people who used to consider themselves independent thinkers. Amazing thing to watch.

Yes, that post!:) Which contains this reality!

Roughly five million people in Greater Sydney have been locked down for four weeks over fears of the Delta variant. They can only leave their homes for four reasons: to purchase food and essential items; to secure medical help, including vaccinations; to exercise in pairs, not groups, traveling no further than 10 km (6.2 miles) from home; and to go to an essential job or study program that can’t be done at home.

Sydney Police said it recognizes and supports the rights of free speech and peaceful assembly but noted that the protest was a breach of public health orders. Health orders the public clearly opposes.
