Posted September 2, 20214 yr You are now a police state. Australia Traded Away Too Much Liberty How long can a democracy maintain emergency restrictions and still call itself a free country? Intrastate travel within Australia is also severely restricted. And the government of South Australia, one of the country’s six states, developed and is now testing an app as Orwellian as any in the free world to enforce its quarantine rules. People in South Australia will be forced to download an app that combines facial recognition and geolocation. The state will text them at random times, and thereafter they will have 15 minutes to take a picture of their face in the location where they are supposed to be. Should they fail, the local police department will be sent to follow up in person. "We don’t tell them how often or when, on a random basis they have to reply within 15 minutes,” Premier Steven Marshall explained. "I think every South Australian should feel pretty proud that we are the national pilot for the home-based quarantine app.” https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2021/09/pandemic-australia-still-liberal-democracy/619940/

September 2, 20214 yr Quote Berejiklian was on Thursday asked about comments from the Queensland premier, Annastacia Palaszczuk, that Doherty Institute modelling suggested that even at 70% vaccination rates, 80 people would die each day in Australia six months after an outbreak. The NSW premier said "death is horrible but we also need to put things into perspective”. "At the moment, there are 8 million citizens who don’t have a choice in how they spend their free time, who don’t have a choice about what they can do, when they can leave their homes. That is no way to live,” Berejiklian said. She pointed out annual flu deaths in her state averaged 600-800 before the pandemic, and also noted that 50 people died each day from heart disease. "Nobody likes to talk about this because it’s confronting. But we have to get back to living with life as normal as possible, knowing that Covid is among us,” she said. "So we have to get very real about what we’re facing. And I know sometimes it’s difficult to hear. But this is what will get us through, this is the light at the end of the tunnel. It’s accepting that Covid is part of our lives, accepting that unfortunately people will die, but they will less likely die if everyone is vaccinated, and this is the reality.” They seem to be at their breaking point now with some clarity emerging. Berejiklian is the Premier of New South Wales which is the state that Sydney is part of.
September 2, 20214 yr I mean... I've always said I don't want to go to Australia. Now I can't and I'm glad. 😅

September 2, 20214 yr Author Where the punch back people of Australia? I am pretty sure I am reading 1984 right now.
September 3, 20214 yr I seem to remember Australia saying it had more freedom than the US a few years ago. Then, they had a huge mandatory gun buy back and outlawed most firearms, yet still bragged about being the freest nation in the world. Now......
September 3, 20214 yr For those that have their eyes open, this is no surprise. The Communists love the useful idiots that actually support their agenda. https://americanmilitarynews.com/2020/12/chinese-communist-member-data-leak-shows-thousands-in-us-government-companies-and-more-report/ Chinese Communist member data leak shows thousands in US government, companies and more: report President of China Xi Jinping. (Kremlin/Released) December 14, 2020 Ryan Morgan Share Tweet Flip A leaked database of 2 million Chinese Communist Party (CCP) members revealed that thousands of Chinese communist members infiltrated U.S., U.K., and Australian government agencies and companies, new reports revealed over the weekend. The database leak, originally reported by The Australian, revealed the identities of nearly 2 million CCP members, thousands of which were discovered to be employed by western businesses and government agencies, and 79,000 branches of the CCP. The Australian described more than 7,000 CCP members identified in just seven major global companies. Volkswagen: 5,700 Boeing: 287 AstraZeneca: 54 Pfizer: 69 QualCom: 229 Hewlett-Packard: 390 HSBC: 345 Boeing and QualComm are just two companies identified with U.S. military contracts. Aerospace giant Boeing has billions of dollars worth of contracts with the U.S. military, while QualComm manufactures computer chips and other hardware for the U.S. Department of Defense’s IT systems and more. AstraZeneca and Pfizer are two major pharmaceutical companies that have been involved in the COVID-19 coronavirus vaccine development. Investigators cross-referenced the database with CCP members’ names on the list, discovering that some infiltrators even gained roles as senior political and government affairs specialists. CCP members used a recruitment agency to infiltrate U.S., British, and Australian consulates in Shanghai, China. An intelligence officer told The Australian that CCP members working in governments "is a totally unacceptable security risk,” adding, "In some cases, they go beyond being a security risk, and actually do the bidding of China in attempting to influence governments overseas. The recent raids in Sydney are an example of this.” The infiltration efforts reportedly spanned for more than a decade. Although investigators did not find evidence that the CCP members had spied for China, security experts warned that sensitive information could potentially reach China through the CCP members. "Allowing members of the CCP to work for such companies risks their stealing technology, providing intelligence to China on forthcoming weapons systems and capabilities, or on force structures built around those capabilities,” one intelligence officer told The Australian. Banks were also the targets of CCP infiltration efforts. The Daily Mail reported 600 CCP loyalists were working in across 19 branches of two British banks, HSBC and Standard Chartered in 2016. The Daily Mail reported both British banks drew criticism for their response to the Chinese government’s legislative takeover of Hong Kong this Summer. Over the summer, HSBC reportedly issued a statement denouncing pro-Hong Kong protests against the Chinese government’s takeover, and recently froze the accounts of exiled Hong Kong lawmaker Ted Hui. According to the Daily Mail, the database was initially leaked to the Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China (IPAC) in September by a Chinese dissident. The database was then reportedly authenticated by the Australian cybersecurity firm Internet 2.0 and the findings from the data were originally released to four media organizations around the world, including the Daily Mail. The IPAC is an international organization that monitors Chinese government activity, and to advise lawmakers on policies to counteract Chinese efforts. The reports on the CCP member database come just days after a recent report by Axios revealed a Chinese national, named Christine Fang or Fang Fang, had gotten close to a number of U.S. politicians, including Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) who is a member of the House Intelligence Committee. Fang was under FBI surveillance and was suspected of being a member of China’s main civilian spy agency, the Ministry of State Security (MSS). It is believed that her reason for being in the U.S. was to gather political intelligence and influence rising U.S. officials on China-related issues. Fang reportedly participated in fundraising events for various U.S. politicians, including Swalwell and reportedly gained access to politicians through networking, personal charisma and even romantic and sexual relations, as in the case of two Midwestern mayors she reportedly came in contact with.

Don't you think Venezuelans would have "voted out" the thugs running that government if they could? The NSDAP party subverted the democratic process to gain power. Why didn't the German people simply vote them out?
