Gillian McKeith’s twitter thread is well worth a look!

Wow, some serious protests in Melbourne on that twitter thread! For the first time the police didn’t intervene. Maybe a case of bad publicity with them pushing over a 70 year old woman?
Good on the Croatian president. Don’t often hear such sense from a leader of a country!
Yeah I couldn’t believe that was Australia!
Gillian McKeith - I hated her mother-shaming ‘healthy food’ TV prog years ago, but it’s a good Twitter thread, she’s done some good digging. The news from Croatia isn’t being reported.
The Croatian president might be responding to public opinion: almost half are afraid of unknown side effects or the known side effects. Or maybe there is a big overlap there.
30/9/21 Why 50 percent of Croatians don’t want to get vaccinated against Covid-19
The government is still struggling to convince half of the citizens in Croatia to get vaccinated against the coronavirus. So what are the reasons for refusing the vaccine, a survey conducted by the IPSOS agency revealed the fears.
Half of the population has been vaccinated with a single dose of the vaccine. The largest share of vaccinated is among those over 60 (over 60 percent of them), while the share of unvaccinated among those under 29 is over 70 percent.
The main reason for not getting vaccinated for 28 percent of respondents is fear of unexplored vaccine side effects and consequences. 23 percent of citizens do not want to be forced to do something, 21 percent of them are afraid of known side effects, and 18 percent do not trust the pharmaceutical industry.
Younger people believe that they will not become infected and that the vaccine does not protect them enough, but they are also afraid that the vaccine could cause reproductive health problems.
Nearly 40 percent of those who have not been vaccinated believe that nothing could encourage them to do so. The rest could be most encouraged by additional research on the safety of the vaccine.
OTOH, news from Pakistan is very bad
20/9/21 Pakistan’s second largest province to arrest unvaccinated citizens
A week ago this was announced for the whole country:
14/9/21 Pakistan to ban dining, shopping, travel for unvaccinated people: NCOC
Pakistan has 1/17th of the US death rate associated with the coronavirus and 1/30th of the rate of ‘cases’. It is about 100th in the world in terms of current case fatality.

Seems that the Pakistani government is bent on solving the Indo-Pak hostilities - by wiping out the Pakistani population.
Clearly, otoh, Croatians are discovering too much about the disastrous effects of the poison-stabs (so far, with who knows what catastrophes still to come, with ADE this Winter, plus an - actually-real - epidemic of infertility for the longer term), none of which we in Britain are allowed to hear about on the ‘news’.
The death and injury toll so far from the stabs is so gob-smackingly large already that that fact alone makes it clear that there’s a huge attempted con going on. Normally, such a toll would be all over the ‘news’, and the whole racket would have been stopped pronto. Wilful, criminal suppression and censorship of the sound prophylactic and healing effects of well-known, tested medicines, together with the suppression of information about the poisonous effects of the stabs, make it all crystal clear. What more proof is needed? We are being scammed. And too many of the scammees have been inducted into a cultish state of hypnotic delusion which still holds them in thrall, so that they can’t/won’t see what’s happening, and rise up against it.
PS: How long has the premier of Croatia still got, in office or in lifespan, having stepped off the line that all pols are supposed to toe during the scam, with examples already made of other premiers who were unwise enough to try it…?

Thanks @Rich . Great thread which raises a few things for discussion.
First, how long will it be that the Croation President disappears, has a heart attack, or just resigns to spend more time with his family (the least likely in my opinion). Of course he will be replaced by a pro-jab, pro-lockdown president.
And as for Pakistan, they have always been part of the NWO, so although their behaviour is … well polite adjectives allude me, it is not really surprising. Perhaps this is the test bed for what’s to come for the rest of us.
What publicity? No-one has commented on this violent attack on a defenceless person. And they won’t be, if you saw the videos from today, when police storm troopers opened fire with rubber bullets on the protestors gathered around the shrine of remembrance - and they were there to remember the sacrifices made by their grandfathers to defend freedoms and rights now being thrown under black 4WDs from the Public Order Response. It’s BAD. and Everyone is against them, bar a couple of right wing politicians who have been denounced. more later, it’s been too much to cope with. The vax has been allowed for 12-15 year olds for a week, and already 20% have had their first dose! Who’s going to pay for this disaster?
But fantastic news from Croatia. My vaxed brother and his wife have finally dared to have a holiday…in Croatia! I’m sure they would never have gone there if they’d known this. I can no longer talk to them, as they won’t talk to me.

Possibly there’s more publicity outside Australia than inside. I noted a group of Republicans even wanted sanctions against Australia! See eg https://crazzfiles.com/us-republicans-call-for-sanctions-against-australia-over-police-treatment-of-protesters/
Link to a closer look (tottnews link below) at the Melbourne protests. I think I arrived at this starting from a link to a post here - sorry if I’ve stolen it.
This coverage is pretty important as it refutes what is being spun predictably in the manstream. The BBC seesm to have no presence but manage to just show the Melbourne premier (in what looks like a BBC studio) saying many there are just pretending to be protesting, really just looking for a fight. The footage doesn’t bear that out, nor does it justify police actions in kettling protestors as well as a few acts of violence against isolated individuals.
Don’t expect to see this:
"As most of the protesters head up the road, shocking video and photo shows a police officer aggressively knock over an elderly woman, before hitting her in the face with capsicum spray. "
It’s plain to see, the woman wasn’t doing anything.
Melbourne freedom protest: What the TV didn’t show you
The Heil frames the story strangely (their emphasis):
" Lisa Wilkinson SLAMS Melbourne protesters claiming violent scenes have ‘got them nowhere’ - but an expert defends the crowds after thousands of ‘frustrated’ workers were forced out of a job during lockdown"
showing two of her contemptuous news pieces, even though few in the UK would know who she is. The police of course are simply ‘retaliating’.
For the last 18 months, the Mail has successfully courted both sides, albeit unequally; here prominence is given to a counter-extremism expert (whatever that is) defending the protestors. Is that in itself an indicator of how nasty the Australian govt (with for example, under 1/40th of the per population death rate as the UK or US) has become?

Funny that about the Mail’s coverage – it’s somewhat schizophrenic. Also very odd that I can’t find any MSM coverage of the Croatian President’s comments on vaccines. It’s like they’re waiting for orders from somewhere before they can write about this. (Maybe something for a media analysis website to analyze…)
Thanks both for links and comment - and I note that the Daily Mail Australia is often one of the best sources of alternative news, in an environment where there is simply no mainstream or less mainstream media putting a viewpoint sympathetic to the protestors or defending their “human rights” , both to protest peacefully and to not be forced into medical treatment with the use of blackmail - that is, if you don’t submit, you will have no work.
But today we are talking not about the police attack with rubber bullets on unarmed protestors, but about the possibility of aftershocks to our earthquake, or about the effect of music on coral reefs, or the problems of getting care for disabled children in Aboriginal communities. We aren’t even talking about the frigging nuclear missiles about to be based in Australia on board US subs… the raison d’etre of the USUKA deal. Shit!

DMac, in all sober seriousness, the situation in Oz begins to feel like 1930s Germany. Do you ever have a feeling that you and Mrs. Mac may have to think about emigrating again, as did so many cannily forethoughful European jews at that horrifying time…?
It’s absolutely serious Rhis - and yes we certainly have been giving this thought, even though we don’t know where we can go. It’s a measure of desperation, as life in our little oasis is relatively pleasant, and we’ve put a lot into building the place up to this point - and of course there are the animals, some of whom are too close to the family to be eaten. Till now we’ve maintained sanity by having 3 months away every 2 years, but now we’ve lost two years of our lives to this monstrous cancer cultivated in the heart of our community, and metastasizing throughout the body with alarming speed. Our good friend Jeremy Salt, who’s from Melbourne but stuck in his house in Turkey has been priming me on the similarity to pre-war Germany for a while, having it in particularly for the Vic premier Dan Andrews and his psychopathic enthusiasm for torture and extorsion. Something has to give, unless they want to tear up Nuremberg - which seems almost possible. A letter in this morning’s Melbourne Age:
“Forget rubber bullets and pepper spray. Equip the police with dart guns full of vaccine.” and another:
“Could anti-vaxxers please wear an armband so the rest of us can avoid them?”
Jeremy’s son Maz, who has had his business of bars and clubs destroyed by the lockdowns, and has been to numbers of anti-lockdown rallies, yesterday was fined $1500 for wearing a scarf that didn’t meet requirements - at the North Melbourne shopping centre targeted by hundreds of riot squad soldiers. These were reported as only small protests, but police arrested 200 people yesterday. What happened on Thursday remains unreported.
But where? I feel that perhaps there will be places, perhaps in our favourite haunts in the South of France, where resisters will be able to live. And of course we could always come home, into the belly of the beast. It’s putting a huge strain on our relationships with friends, but also with each other, but it’s not a “mental health problem” contrary to the concerns of friends, who suggest I should “talk to someone”… about what!! Just get the vaxine and get over it!
Thanks for your support, and how are YOU coping?

I get the sense that Oz has - very mysteriously - fallen into a deep pit of mass psychosis. The last place you’d expect to become a fascist nightmare. Things not so bad in Britain just now. Plenty of dissidents, and a good deal less police-statery than you seem to be suffering there. For myself: life is virtually unchanged. But that’s because I was living the life of an eccentric recluse in a quiet country place, and I still am. And being content with solitude - relieved amply enough for my inclinations by a small, loyal circle of family and friends - I’ve had very little of the literally insane pressure that so many of the still-sane have received to toe the crazy lines, do as told, and - of course - take the poison-stabs. I have some close family who’ve taken first shots of the poison, and now wish they hadn’t.
I think Bozo and the cabinet of bozos would like to be more peremptory, but the politically canny amongst them sense that they can’t push the situation here too far too quickly. There are too many dissidents in reality, though listening to the lugenpresse mediawhores you’d never guess it. All my immediate neighbours here at the boatyard are un-stabbed, and intend to remain so. And speaking with them, I realise that a considerable percentage of their clans and their circle of acquaintance are of the same mind; all people of the traditional working-class. Not fooled, it seems, to a surprising degree. There appear to be quite a lot of the unconvinced amongst them, unlike the bourgeois-inclined people here, who all seem to have swallowed the bs h,l&s. Taken the stabs, and still deep entranced by the hypno-prop flood, which still continues here, of course.
I get a distinct impression that things are much worse in Australasia. The world watches, aghast in many instances, as it flushes down the tubes of ever less crypto fascism. WTF happened to the sunny country? People must have had the same sense of appalled astonishment as they watched what happened to Germany - that most civilised of countries! - in the '30s. I’ve literally never seen anything like this before, not in my own home-patch of the Earth, in a long lifetime…
Solidarity D! Hold the line! Don’t despair. This insanity will pass, and the international attempted coup d’etat will not succeed as well as its perpetrators hoped.

It was a great edition of the UK Column news, most of the ones with Patrick Henningsen are. The path ahead, potentially, was laid out with great clarity. Evil is gaining strength and must be resisted.
Awful. The question of “Where to…?” is a biggie but no one should be put in the position of feeling they have to flee their home. I do hope the madness passes.

The class component is very noticeable. I guess one compensation of living in a country so class conscious that even I can pick it up, is that one gets a feel for what can be said and what is better left unsaid, and when.

Sorry to hear all this awfulness. Australia seems particularly badly hit by this totalitarian assault disguised as health care. It is difficult to know where to go and what to do, especially if you’ve built up something of value. At the moment I’m torn between staying in the UK or Romania. At one point, the UK seems better, the next it’s Romania – until you hear of new curfews imposed. Important to keep your eyes closely on the ground. It’s a very weird time to be living through. Good luck
Karen, as a Buddhist (I presume) you might not like to hear this: it looks like it’s all going to become very violent.
I would have laid even money on it happening in France first, but it now looks like it will kick off down under.
I’m a pacifist, non-violent person, yet this is a really tricky one to navigate.
Any suggestions?

Many thanks RG for these reassurances! As it happens I’ve had several conversations in the last two days that also reassure me there is significant resistance, coupled with alarm at the terror-stasi on the streets, and equal alarm at the acceptance and encouragement of this by the brainwashed masses. The question is how we organise ourselves and communicate, under constant pressure from the vigilantes in the community, and of course the polizia. But the problem will be with them, rather than with the government’s rules and regulations, because after 18 months of lies believed there is no going back, on masks or distancing, the deadly virus or the “incredibly safe and effective vaccines”. Every day things change too. Today Andrews - VIC - decided to run some double vax trials in six regional areas, where fully jabbed people will be afforded extra privileges, or rather the unvaxed will find themselves prevented from doing things that they were doing yesterday, like having a beer in a pub. But while this plan is being set up, and access to people’s medical records secured so that people can be checked in safely… in NSW they just admitted that once a 90% vax rate is reached, the unvaxed will be afforded the same freedoms as everyone else!
We will then find that although we are able to visit pubs and restaurants like the Covidians, we will be identifiable, even simply by suspicion on appearance. I have to start work on a T-shirt, lanyard or tattoo with an appropriate identifier or warning - “BIOHAZARD!” perhaps.
Thanks for your support all … ! cheers David.
