Donât you just love the new normalâŠ
They are already refusing serious medical treatment to people who havenât been jabbed in places like Australia, NZ, Canada and certain states of America; because itâs all about health, isnât it.
Okay, so we know they choose the interviewees and shots that fit the narrative, but my God!
Jamie, I believe you are in France as well.
Iâm not going to get into specifics, because businesses in France are heavily fined for breaking the rules. Iâll just say that in my very rural area most businesses are ignoring the rules and regulations. Bars and restaurants stick up the QR thingy and all the rest, but none of them bother to check if a customer has a pass sanitaire.
In 18 months do you know how many covid funerals Iâve been toâŠ? None, zilch, nada. In 18 months do you know how many people Iâm aware of that have been seriously ill from the thing they call âcovid 19ââŠ? None, zilch, nada.
Iâd be delighted if people could tell me otherwise.
Double dose freedoms. Catchy.
Not quite so many rules here:
Orange beeyatches: enjoy it while it lasts.
Thatâs heartening, but they need to watch out for the miliciens.
Looking at those Lawless shots of the white-elephant graveyards, I keep thinking about certain loons who haunt btl at places like Off-G, with whom I have occasional disputes, who still insist that ideas like the Long Descent and âThe Limits To Growthâ are fanciful nonsense, and with just a bit of tweaking, and a handful of fantasy ânew technologiesâ that are going to change everything and save us all (once we can invent them, get them actually to work, and then undertake the immense investment of installing them worldwide) we can be back on track for GrowthânâProgressforever towards the hyper-techie-techie sunlit uplands of planet Vulcan. 
If you ferret back a bit for pictures and accounts of how things were going in Russia in the decade of the 90s during their USSR collapse, and the inevitable consequent free-for-all sweep-in of US-based carrion-grabber disaster-capitalists, you get a lot of echoes of what Lawless and others are describing in the US right now. It took thirty years to catch up, but the USA is now going, as many prescient observers foretold, exactly where the USSR went. Canât happen too soon.
Meanwhile, may those hauntingly poltergeist-like âUFOsâ that amuse themselves by shutting down entire US nuclear ICBM bases continue to play their unsettling games with the military boy-scouts of America! We may need that help whilst the soon-to-be-ex United States search around for their own Putin-equivalent. Interesting TimesâŠ
Thanks for that info Rob- reassuring that rural France may have some natural scepticism and resistance to this counter intuitive scamdemic.
Incidentally, under the new Vic Pandemic Powers - if they donât get stopped, business that âintentionallyâ break the laws that may be âreasonably considered to endanger public healthâ can be fined $452,000, while individuals face $90,000 or 2 years jail.
Thanks Rob - only just saw this⊠and horrific presentation by 9 News,which is now allied to the Melbourne Age and so a puppet for the Fuhrer and his cabal. Just love the bit about the unvaxed scum and how certain charateristics can be used to identify them. Sniffer dogs perhaps, going round the bars and restaurants with the Covid Marshalls. What is most horrific is the way that the three independents who are enabling this abomination to go through âparliamentâ are so content with the âchecks and balancesâ that are going to make it all transparent and democratic. And when next November comes, if some public spirited soul doesnât finish off the Fuhrer, the voters will vote the bastard back in the way that a beaten dog licks its owner.
I donât know what I have to do, yet, but it isnât something we can live with. Come December weâll all end up in the Mickleham âresilience centreâ north west of Melbourne, if we so much as squeak a protestâŠ
The images reminded me of the sobering first act of Naqoyqatsi, filmed in and around the Michigan Central Depot in Detroit (I recommend Charlie LeDuffâs book Detroit: An American Autopsy) and Ponte, Johannesburg, which I watched being built near our local park. Pic below. Both have been restored now though.
Given these penalties one might as well be locked up for an assassination. Heâs goading the populace.
Quite a big demo in Melbourne today (Saturday). It looks like thereâs as many police as protestors. I havenât seen a lot of footage of this demo, but from what I have seen, the police seem very uncomfortableâŠ
Dimac, apologies, Iâve only just seen that youâve posted footage of the Melbourne protest in the other thread.
There was also a large protest in London today (Saturday). Notably, the crowd gathered outside Australia House, on The Strand, to show solidarity with you guys down underâŠ
More horrifying nazi shit from Dan & co here:
Human rights implications for Danâs permanent pandemic powers
We all heard the news yesterday. It was impossible to escape the malaise that descended onto the State of Victoria with the reality that by the end of this week, we may well be living under permanent dictatorship.
Under the Public Health and Wellbeing (Pandemic Management) Bill 2021 (âthe Billâ), the power is vested in the Premier to âmake a pandemic declarationâ if there is âa disease of pandemic potentialâ and, get this â there doesnât even have to be any cases in Victoria for him to do so (S165AB).
There are a myriad of other concerns in this 121-page document, which was released only yesterday and apparently constructed in private consultations with Danâs favourite three â Fiona Patten, Andy Meddick and Samantha Ratnam.
S165AI allows a pandemic order to be made that can restrict movement, stop people from working, require the production of ID papers, require one to undergo medical examination/testing, or even destroy animals (if they are considered to be a âvector of transmissionâ).
S165AK allows targeting of a group of people according to their âcharacteristics, attributes or circumstancesâ (can anyone say âthe unvaccinatedâ?). Refusal to comply with a pandemic order without a reasonable excuse is an offence (S165AM) and these orders may be extended at any time (S165A0). Sure, the Minister has to ensure that reasons are tabled in Parliament within 6 days (S165AQ), but we all know that if there is one thing this government is good at, itâs smooth-talking.
There are pandemic management orders (S165B) that allow for detention (just go and try your luck with the Chief Health Officer if you donât like it â S165BK) and a person can be fined up to $90,000 or face two years in jail if they refuse to comply (S165BO).
In short, itâs horrific.
And, by cleverly excluding the most principled Members of Parliament (David Limbrick, Tim Quilty, Catherine Cumming and Neil Angus) and ensuring they are stripped of their right to vote on our behalf, Dan Andrews has basically ensured victory for himself. A clear path to passing the Bill*.*
Or has he?
Enter the Victorian Charter of Human Rights and Responsibilities Act 2006 (the Charter). It is a requirement that any new Bill that is presented to Parliament must include a statement of compatibility that contemplates how the legislation will impact upon our human rights.
Last year, we were saved in part by the involvement of the Scrutiny of Acts and Regulations Committee (SARC), which assessed the proposed COVID-19 laws (the COVID-19 Omnibus (Emergency Measures) and Other Acts Amendment Bill 2020) and put in place amendments that limited the extension of the State of Emergency, removed proposed powers to pre-emptively detain people, and reduced the proposed pool of people who could exercise emergency powers.
S165AS contemplates the role of the SARC and allows it to disallow or amend orders or instruments that contravene our human rights. It also has the power to suspend unjust orders (S165AT). The only problem is, how much injustice will be allowed to prevail before this committee can strike it down? How many people will simply comply due to the reality that their circumstances do not allow them to fight back in a complicated legal system?
If the Bill does pass, the SARC might just be our only hope left.
