The Australian Open is scheduled to begin January 17th in Melbourne, the epicenter of Australia’s totalitarian COVID mandates. Australia granted unvaccinated tennis superstar Novak Djokovic a visa to compete. Australian border officials then attempted to block his entry and deport him, because he was unvaccinated. Novak Djokovic took the issue to the federal court in Australia, and won his legal case against the Australian government. The government then decided unilaterally to revoke his visa on immigration grounds. Djokovic appealed.
The world #1 ranked tennis player Novak Djokovic lost his appeal today to remain in Australia and play the Australian Open tournament. He was immediately escorted to the airport and kicked out.
The government did not hide their reasoning, as immigration minister Alex Hawke said getting Djokovic out of the country was “fundamental to safe-guarding Australia’s social cohesion which continues to strengthen despite the pandemic.”
Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison echoed the Hawke sentiment saying forcing Novak Djokovic out of the country quickly was a matter of “public interest“, because his continued presence would destabilize the government. Morrison further stated, “Australians have made many sacrifices during this pandemic, and they rightly expect the result of those sacrifices to be protected,” allowing an unvaccinated person to enter Australia was a threat to the social fabric that has bowed to the controls and threats of government vaccination mandates.
None of the statements by the government, and none of their legal arguments had anything to do with COVID-19, or any medical issue or threat represented by Mr. Djokovic. The government didn’t even attempt to make any such case in their court arguments. Instead, the government relied upon convincing the court that Djokovic’s physical presence represented a threat to “social cohesion“.
To support the position of the government, Australian Chief Justice James Allsop stressed the court was ruling on the “lawfulness and legality” of the decision and not whether it was right or wrong to deport him. {LINK} The government can arbitrarily decide who comes and goes into the country, therefore, if the government wants to ban Djokovic for whatever reason, they can. That was the determining legal factor, nothing else.
Now we get to the key distinction between Americans and Australians. This is the point where many Americans find it difficult to reconcile with the outlook of Australians. This is where the distinctions in democracy become very important to understand.
Americans view any form of tyranny as bad. Americans, in the whole, view any effort to crush your freedom as a negative. Australians only view tyranny as bad if it is not applied equally. As long as everyone suffers the punishment of government equally, the pain is approved.
In Australia, government oppression is only bad if it is applied unequally.
If every Australian is forced to have their right hand removed to comply with government rules, then the removal of the hand is permitted. Everyone gets in line at the hand-chopper. However, if someone jumps out of the line and tries to escape, because they don’t want their hand removed, all the other people in line will chase him down, bring him back and hold him down while the government hand-chopper does the removal.
The American looks at this mindset with jaw agape and says, “F**k you, my hand isn’t getting removed, and neither should anyone else’s; and I will fight the government hand-chopper if it means stopping them, even if you are okay with your hand getting chopped.”
Generally speaking, the line of Americans to get their hands chopped will look scornfully as the two-handed rebel departs, but they accept his decision. (Although this outlook is changing in America – SEE HERE)
When an American sees a person fighting Australian tyranny (Djokovic), our gut instinct is to support him (we would if his confrontation was inside America – his location is irrelevant). We support the freedom fight, because we see the underlying reason for him fighting -his medical and health freedom- as having merit.
However, most Australians, who would fight for the type of freedom defined by their version of democracy, see Djokovic fighting for a specific freedom their mob democracy has already conceded and lost.
The anti-vax movement, writ large, does not independently support Djokovic on principle, because Djokovic is not acquiescing to the same rules they are subjected to.
There’s also a weird part of this where we recognize that Australians are unwilling to contemplate or accept that non-Australians might have different inherent rights because, well, they are not Australians.
The Australian system of government is based on a pure democracy. Extreme democracy. As soon as 50% plus one is achieved, the other 50% accept the rules of the majority, regardless how small that majority position might be. This is why everyone in Australia is required by law to vote.
The concept of minority rights or individual sovereignty, restrictions on the mob’s ability to interfere in your life, is unfathomable to Australians. Once a law is passed by majority consent, they all agree to follow it. That is their social compact.
As a result, when the government of the majority tells them to do something – they comply.
This is the “social cohesion” that was threatened by Novak Djokovic being allowed to exist as an unvaccinated sovereign citizen in the country.
♦ One man standing against Tyranny brings Americans to their feet in support.
♦ One man standing against Tyranny in Australia immediately triggers the crabs in the bucket…
Last point. Notice how there are some very famous people in Hollywood from Australia? There are hundreds of them, and many of them are very wealthy. Notice how they refuse to go back to Australia? Their ideological hypocrisy is rather stark. The Hollywood Australians are the worst kind of Australians; they have left the bucket, will not return to the bucket, yet advocate for the bucket crabs to keep everyone else in the bucket.
I think he is being paid to rig the tournament. FOLLOW THE $$$$!
I find it amazing that one man can threaten an entire society.
One Jim Jones and a nation could perish.
WHAT IF there are hundreds of 1,000’s of Aussies saying back to the tv at the pubs and elsewhere:
“was that social cohesion we saw when a woman was knocked to the ground and while totally helpless and not a threat was pepper-sprayed in her face, in her eyes? Is THAT what you call social cohesion?”
Perhaps of course pubs and tv’s in pubs and people in pubs watching the tv while enjoying a pint is a totally bygone thing?
That was the point of “lockdowns.” They closed places where people compare notes and exchange ideas.
Exactly.
Keeps the totalitarian leftists in power, so yes. Just like their communist Chinese paymasters.
I was just looking up Klaus Schwab (founder of the WEF) and his son lives in Beijing, is married to a Chinese woman (he runs the WEF office in Beijing).
And yet TRUMP did. 😉 In fact the whole of the globe was threatened by him, with few exceptions.
Novak made a huge international incident and embarrassed the AUS and VIC gov.
The Melbourne Open has tennis players collapsing from heart disease created from mRNA.
https://rumble.com/vsphzb-australias-deportation-of-novak-djokovic.html
I think it’s true, the social cohesion, especially respect for the government must be collapsing in Australia.
I never thought Australia would have a US style revolution, with the Covid Corruption, I think its possible.

Maybe the CT might do an article on this?
Yes, in taverns: taverns being part pub, part motel, part restaurant, part community house. The U.S. Marines were formed in a tavern, too. Clearly, taverns were essential “nodes” for community life in those times. No tyrant can allow them to exist. Aristotle writes about some ancient dictator who closed all such venues. The idea has clearly been around for a long time.
Indeed was Paul Revere(?) not dispatched from a tavern in Boston which was/is a Masonic lodge on his famous horse ride?
“didn’t the American and French Revolution’s begin in the community organizations formed in pubs?”
yes – and coffee houses too!
Im an Australian and recognize what has happened as a typical Australian stuff-up. ..we call it a schemozzle. Coukdnt organise a piss up in a brewery. Oz also is a NWO test bed – what happens here will happen in the USA in 6 months. Heads up .
I love the USA and would rather champion individual freedoms. Many people here in Oz cannot fathom why all australians shouldnt be equally miserable – frankly I find it stupid in the extreme and cant stand it.
Were you aware of an FAA ground stop order on 10th Jan that removed all military from the air, leaving the west coast very vulnerable? Orders from Washington apparently.
Lastly – DO NOT LET THEM TAKE YOUR GUNS. PERIOD. We had a black op in Tasmania that allowed guns to be registered and will be ultimately confiscated.
Thanks for the info. It sounds like Australia inherited a lot of the English class self-identity, except there’s only the working class “us against the gits” kind of thing applied to an entire nation. The Irish also had a strong “You’re no better than anyone else, so get back in line” attitude. During the centuries the English kept the Irish down, the Irish formed this psychology, I guess a you could call it a “Colonial Mentality” or a “Subjugation Fraternity” but once “free”, or quasi-free from the 1920s on, they never could recover from that “we all belong on the reservation together, united in misery” sort of mindset.
Thanks for the insight Steve. Australia is kind of a puzzle for me, and the scamdemic reaction surprised me a lot. The protests, however, are heartening.
The 2nd Amendment is a bright line for many (possibly most) firearm-owning Americans. The powers that be will have to be extremely clever to succeed in disarming the largest standing militia the planet has ever seen. Usually the grabbers lash out pretty bluntly and we see what’s going on and stop it. Not always. And the future is filled with unknowns. But the tug-of-war has largely gone our way for many years. Every day, thousands more guns are purchased, arsenals added to, newbies converted.
Good luck, and may God bless Australian freedom-fighters.
If our world had not changed so much, the Djokovic (vaxxed? unvaxxed?) episode would never have happened.
The rich and powerful psychopaths of the world Fauci, Gates, Schwab, etc decided they wanted to rule their world and to get rid of a few million people. Hence a manmade “virus” plandemic and an experimental unproven “vaccination” popped up and split the world into two – the entitled vaxxed and the unclean unvaxxed.
Governments became dictators “to keep us safe”. In the meantime, the psychopaths’ plan was moving along swimmingly – FEAR – CONTROL – DEATHS – MAIMING – OBEDIENCE.
By the way, I am unclean.
Ha. Me too. UNCLEAN!
The WEF, NWO, CCP, DNC, and Labour Party cannot allow freedom or The People will elect socialist threats like Donald Trump, which is why the Enemedia, Deep State, DC Swamp, and the larger socialist enterprise is doing what it’s doing.
We must stop letting them divide us and label us.
We must start reaching out out to the other side.
As I was telling my beloved wife tonight, the tyrants have
broken humanity. Time for us to start working towards
healing the divide.
How about we actually do something before you get all healed up.. there will always be a divide if there is evil. How about let’s Smash Marxists and mock their stupid leaders like our Blackface Brownface Racist Trudeau.
Is there any truth that JT is Castros misbegotten?
Any time any one of us ‘reaches out to the other side’, we find our arm cut off and are marched off to a secret prison with no charges being filed.
Thanks, but I’ll continue fighting.
I agree with your sentiment, but not your strategy. First, we need to confront the Left head on and politically demolish them to the extent possible, before they enslave us. There was no reasoning with Torquemada or his minions, nor is there with the Iranian mullahs.
Collectivism is a cultural virus, and is incompatible with individual rights and freedom of self determination. The two ideologies are mutually exclusive.
Re “First, we need to confront the Left head on and politically demolish them to the extent possible, before they enslave us.”
As Sundance has said many times, they need us a lot more than we need them. Therefore, in order to demolish them, all we have to do is stop fulfilling their needs. I.e., stop picking up their garbage, cutting their lawns, repairing their expensive vehicles, transporting products they consume, and all the other things we provide for them.
If every conservative simply stayed home for a week at the same time, all the COVID nonsense would disappear!
There is no healing w/Communisim. They never quit.
A society cannot heal while the injury keeps happening… only after the injury has stopped can we heal.
The problem is, humanity is Fallen. Original Sin. Original Sin has many names and aspects, but in social terms, a special self-loathing “I’m a failure and deserve my fate” is an essential part of it. God tells us how to overcome Original Sin’s manifestations, but an irreligous society will fall back into all the mess of Original Sin. I understand the Christian Faith is very weak in Australia, and the Churches are drying up. So, without God, they’re back to self-pity and self-created slavery.
On the other hand, there’s always a few who break from the endless self-inflicted degradation that most of humanity has wallowed in for millennia, mostly because they’re committed Christians. And over the past 200 years, many of those folks came here to the U.S. But the Slave Mentality Champions were always shadowing us, always “in the wings” and ready to pounce, because many of them also came to the U.S. as well, especially toward the close of the 19th century and these provided the “Red Diaper Babies” of around WWII. And now these people, who don’t even recognize that original sin exists, control the Federal government under the “Socialitist Fraternity” guise. “Socialism” and “Communism” are just the last 100 years of so of the traditional Fallen Humanity’s self-loathing.
I’m non GMO.
Ha! I like it.
I usually say “I’m good, thanks for asking. Did your power go out? How’s your mom doing? What’s new w/you?”
I prefer to think of it as (unvaxxed) pure-blood.
Hmmm, I’m a non-binary-vaccination-America, and am neither vaccinated nor unvaccinated. I self-identify as transvaccinated.
*American
We should really be the ‘clean’, untainted by the vaccine.
No- Pure Blood.
I prefer #pureblood 😉
That official statement ought to read that Australians, now serfs, have been sacrificed, and the government must protect its new position as lord and master.
Visions of frolicking in the outback…
I understand that kangaroos are powerful boxers . . . check out the footwork!
I’m telling you mate, they’ve turned into Cuckodile Dandees.
See what you did there…
I see no essential difference in Australians complying to the vaccine mandate and Americans complying to the mask mandate. The difference lies only in the legal/constitutional frameworks in which our slavemasters seem compelled to navigate their tyranny.
Many Americans still comply with masking, an abuse of our inalienable rights, or face the loss of job (food and housing), freedom of movement, and the denial of medical care. How is it essentially any different from Australians who face the same consequences of non-compliance to vaccines?
America’s slavemasters have private corporations enforce their tyranny. Australia’s slavemasters do it themselves.
That is true. Australia is over 90% vaxed. We have not seen how we behave when we reach that rate.
They keep chipping away. A mandate here and a mandate there to force vax.
We could turn into crabs in a bucket.
Yep. Find a grocery store in “free” Florida with maskless employees
Or a hospital or surgery center there which will provide care to an unmasked
You can’t take the vaccine off.
I don’t see anyone complying with masks anymore. That has run it’s coarse.
Depends on where one lives… blue states are mandating masks everywhere you go.
I wonder if this will have any impact on people wanting to travel to Australia. For most people in the world it’s a long flight and expensive to get to Australia. Who’s gonna go knowing you can just be kicked out at any time, for any reason?
I would’ve love to visit, but now never will. My wife and I loved going to various islands in the Caribbean. Now, unless there’s ones with no entry restrictions related to the cold, I have no desire to go back. The emerald coast in FL is just as good and only a short drive.
I enjoyed my trip to Scotland and playing St. Andrews. Would’ve loved to go back, but no desire – plenty of golf to played played in the US.
I loved flying, but won’t until the mask requirement goes away – no biggy because we took a road trip to Vegas for a family event. Son got to see the Grand Canyon and the Hoover Dam.
Contentment is the best and just enjoy the new adventures that are forced upon you by tyrants making you choose ways to be free. There’s still plenty to do, see and enjoy while avoiding all the Covid nazis.
I don’t need to fly anywhere, I don’t need to travel outside the US, I don’t need to give up my freedoms.
Nice post,
I am from Scotland and now may never return.
I was at British Opens at Carnoustie ( twice) and St Andrews once.
Travel to the U.S. was on our calendar several times a year.
Mexico was a nice treat for a few weeks in the winter.
No more.
We are content to stay in Beautiful British Columbia.
It’s the youngsters that are getting the shaft if this tyranny is not settled soon.
Avoiding Covid Nazis at all times.
Cheers!
I said this before. Many immigrants have now had to face the reality that they may never see the place of their birth or any family the have there again.
I used to live on my sailboat and have been to any Caribbean Islands. Can’t do that anymore.
I loved Southern Brasil but I’ll never go the again.
The Rothschild Mafia is like cockroaches. It isn’t so much what they steal but what they ruin for everyone else.
Agreed, Australia ruined the sport of tennis, I won’t watch the open now.
This Yank will never go there either. Not after this. I never paid much attention to Australian Democracy before but glad I read this post. Amazing what you can learn at the Tree House! Now the disarming of Australian citizens a few years ago makes since.
Excellent!
Yeah… it’s pretty much word for word what my wife said to each other. We have had so many epic adventures. Covid Karen’s are the new TSA, we are never headed back. Find your happy place and go forward. We plan to to start camping, we did a lot of that when we were first married. Live your best life!
Travel is freedom. They are slowly taking it away. They make it hard to fly. The cruise ship industry is hurting. You will have to show your papers to go anywhere. A lot of people won’t be able to afford the gas to travel. Or they may have priorities to pay for instead, like food. Which is going up in price also. They are slowly squeezing us out. Slowly making you learn to live with less. “You will have nothing and be happy”-Klaus Schwab. F* the left and FJB too
Oh, Americans will travel…‘virtually’. Hello -$$$Meta Universe baby$$$$
The next gen love their paleton (Immersive, cycling with a global community from the comfort of home)& Oculus (meeting up with virtual friends to beat games)lifestyles.
Soon these athletes will compete only VR!
Forced VR life(education,shopping,working) next on the horizon for “control” of masses.
And they will comply willingly, soon to forget true freedom or community with morals looked like. And you can Forget the inside of a REAL church….only the VR faith ‘they’ provide will exist.
I know we are losing when my 30+son mentions to all his sibs ,has to leave (get on game)or else lose the “planet” he spent a week building.
Yes, Candace and Reese Witherspoon spoke to this recently.
Imagine being satisfied with a fake existence. I’d have to be paralyzed from the forehead down to enjoy that virtual stuff.
The only coof crazy that affects me seriously is the Canadian border, because we have a beloved 50+ yr. old family cottage in Ontario that I just blew through all my savings to repair, without having any solid hope of seeing it again in pureblood person.
But I still fcking object strenuously to every coof crazy that affects any American, anywhere, just because. And I get pissed on behalf of Aussies and Italians and the Dutch and Brits and Filipinos and Peruvians and every other normal decent human worldwide who just wants to live their fcking life without elite tyrants inventing new ways to torment all of us daily.
I just watched an Australian Government minister who stated that you can obtain a visa to visit Australia, but you can still be denied entry on arrival. For that alone I will never go there again.
Goodbye Crocodile Dundee, and welcome Ned Kelley, Jack Duggan and the merry band of troopers.
All the great work done by Aussies like Rod Laver, Kenny Rosewall, Margaret Court, Lleyton Hewitt, Paul Hogan, INXS, John Farnham, etc – all demolished by a bone headed move by the politicians.
Eric, but you already have. We’re being shrunk into smaller and smaller boxes…
Lol, “world travel” for the masses is but a recent concept. My freedom and enjoyment doesn’t come from visiting places and doing things. Rather, it involves doing things I enjoy to do on my own terms. When you leave the United States you are no longer protected by the US Constitution (spare me the argument that doesn’t exist anymore), I have no desire to leave the US anytime soon.
I’d be happy with a large piece of property and tinkering, inventing, building things. Me and my family enjoy going to the beach and lake during the summer. Luckily we’re only a few hour drive from some of the best beaches in the world – Florida’s Emerald Coast. We also have plenty of lakes within a 45 minute drive.
My son doesn’t like leaving the “home base”. It used to annoy me, but now we spend a lot of time at home doing things as a family without always running around, spinning our wheels. He enjoys road trips though and staying in “hotel homes”. We rented an RV last summer and really enjoyed that since we were able to take our two dogs with us. You get to see a lot more of this great nation when you drive. And you get to make unplanned stops to see things you’d just fly over.
We have friends in Oregon and plan on driving out to visit sometime this year or next. We’ll go through Yellowstone and see a lot of other nice country. We’d never do that just flying, plus we’ll get to take our dogs with us instead of boarding them. Only places without stupid restrictions will get our money and before you counter with “Oregon” – they have a large piece of property and live in deep red Oregon.It’s about spending time with them and not “doing things”.
I’ve been looking and there are some awesome RV resorts all over this country and much cheaper rates than a fancy hotel.
I feel freer having shed all the desires to go do things and travel places. Not too long ago (in terms of human history) people didn’t frequently vacation and jet set about the world. Those concepts are new to the “modern” “global” society. I don’t think these restrictions will be in place forever and I might change my view. But for now I’m content and free.
You’ve put yourself in a box, I haven’t.
Respectfully, I think you didn’t get my point.
My husband and I have travelled extensively all over this country! Many of the places you mentioned! Those trips have been some of the most amazing in my life! The beauty of this country could very well take a life time to explore and appreciate and then there still wouldn’t be enough time to take it all in!
My point being, 2008 we took our family to London and Paris. When we landed, I had the thought, “I am on a different continent!!!!! Oh, the wonders of that trip!!! (OH, the food in Paris!!!!! 😂 )
We used to play a game, my husband and I, “Where in the world would you like to go?” (Never got to Ireland, never got to Italy, never got to Australia, not sure I ever will…)
We don’t play that game any more, for reasons you cited.
…and again I say, respectfully, you’ve put yourself in a box, but you think the box is good and fun and fulfilling. ME, TOO! …but it is a box.
I would have been less upset if he was never allowed into the country in the first place.
The Australian government wanted this spectacle. They wanted to make an example out of him.
And their politicians and bureaucrats deserve to be mocked endlessly for it.
Spot on!
Like most others currently on this Site you are totally ignorant of the facts. …… He was not allowed into the Country in the first place. …… That a Sporting Group invited him does not exempt him from current Entry Regulations. …….. ( You are not going to claim that the U.S.A. has had no Covid related regulations that restrict entry of non-citizens ) …… He lied on his application for an Entrance Visa , thinking that , if caught , the rules would not apply to such a famous person. ……. He had immediate access to Court. …… Wouldn,t it be great if that applied in Washington. ……. He did not have an actual win in Court. The Judge just said a different Official had to sign the Deport Order. The last thing the Australian Government wanted was an upset that the Socialists ( with a lot of help from ” useful Idiots ” ) will use for propaganda.
Seems like once he arrived, there were no good options.
Far as I can tell, the US border is unrestricted just for famous people and illegal immigrants. Everybody else gets the full force of bureaucracy and our delightful TSA.
You are wrong. The Government agreed that he fulfilled the requirements and had a valid medical exemption. This was not contested in the second hearing. The Minister used his discretion and said Djokovic was a threat to public health because the Minister assumed he was anti- vaccination. That is an absolute disgrace in a country that is 90+% vaccinated. I believe they are setting us up to accept endless boosters ( ca-ching goes the Pharma profits).
I am really sick of people sqawking about everybody has to be vaccinated, even those who have had it or can’t have it. Natural immunity, anyone? It goes against “The Science” to think someone who has recovered is not immune to the current variant. Besides which, Omicron is no worse than a bad cold. The pandemic is over, COVID is endemic, just relax and go back to normal life.
Interesting to see if the tournament is myocarditis free………what a contrast that would be…
Collapsing tennis players would be quite the spectacle.
We were supposed to go to Australia this next year for the rotary international conference in Melbourne. I doubt Rotary will cancel but they should. We will not be going. I told my spouse it’s a non starter. I’m not spending money to go to a totalitarian country and I won’t be forced to disclose medical information to do so. We made a decision together that we won’t be going. I hope other Rotarians do the same.
I guess I should boycott the US then since they have exactly the same requirement.
Still defending the gun-banning jackboots downunder?
I agree. I’m only 70 but I can’t believe the changes to my country in my lifetime.
Ending world travel to isolate us is part of the plot.
YES.
No country acting tyrannical should be graced by our tourist silver.
Stop hating on eachother and fight the common enemy.
By that time, Australia will likely be a fully passport required society.
As a fellow Rotarian, I completely agree. There needs to be pushback against a lot of the stuff Chicago is presently doing.
Someone needs to ask them if supporting government tyranny passes the 4 way test.

I cannot speak for Donald Trump, but if Maximus-Cassius was the next president, here is what I would do.
1). No nuke subs for you. Give us ALL the technology we have given you so far–and verify it. If you don’t, severe sanctions will follow.
2). No more Five eyes. We’re cutting you off. (Don’t cry discrimination, we’re cutting off the commie Brits, the cuck-hold Canadians and the prissy Kiwis).
3). Severe travel restrictions will mostly likely follow.
4). I’m recalling the Aussie Ambassador–but not after I command his presence and then proceed to call him everything but a white man.

Yep! You rock brother.
I’ll stick with President Trump. Wish he were handling business now.

L learned something today.
If I could inject/provide/offer some helpful suggestions…ahem
there are in fact a large population segment within the USA AND AUSTRALIA who have capitulated to the notion that big government is to be obeyed and not questioned.
I think we can all agree, this is true to some extent. That there are large swaths of people who are willing servants to a large powerful and corrupt central state. We can argue all day long how this has happened and examine the root causes of it and debate the nuance till the cows come home.
But we can also agree (I propose) that there is also a health number in BOTH CITIZENRY WHO ARE OPPOSED TO THE CORRUPT CENTRAL STATE !
This idea that australians (the people) are to blame for the failures of his own government is too simplistic for the same reasons we cannot possibly imagine citizens in the US are directly responsible for the corruption and central state of the USG to lord over its own people with these liberty stripping power grabs.
The focus should be, if I may, be to find what is most common..where we share common interests.
And that appears to be the determination to reform our central governments in ways that RESTORE personal individual freedom and liberty…..and also to hold to account the PEOPLE WITHIN GOVERNMENT WHO ABUSE THEIR POWER.
It does feel wrong to see this thread go off the rails.
I am reminded of the key rules we are to observe when we participate in this threads.
first to be understood and also to understand….these are very complex issues, and I am certain we are all struggling with great difficulty to find some common ground.
Lets work toward that..set aside some of the personal attacks and vitriole and hurtful assumptions. Let’s try to get back to basics and locate where the strength exists within this last refuge.
God Bless America/Australia.
Agreed. The people of both our nations are willing participants in a death march. The Australians’ slave masters just more ruthless.
I take no comfort in that.
You remind of somebody I once knew on a different forum.
Well said!
Hang to together of hang separately.
Choose!
Good post, if people here are divided, what’s it like on the outside ?
Divide and conquer is the way THEY work.
I don’t have to agree with posters here and they don’t have to agree with me, different opinions is human nature but formulating the correct opinion is by both sides excepting the others individual right to free thought.
The whole commie game leeds to no individuality only “Groupthink”they do this by dividing opinion .
I think most would agree we all have a war to win, so instead of bitching how about we put our heads together and come up with some practical solutions.
I’ll start the transition OK!
God has not abandoned Australians or Americans.
Americans are the only armed people who can take the murderers on.

I love the 91.6% “fully vaccinated”. In about 2-3 weeks you can cut that percentage in half or more since boosters will be required.
What happens to Australia if they are all dead in 5 or 10 years? Anyone think China has paid the Australian government to force the clot shot on their people so they can just have all of Australia’s natural resources?
I have thought the same … and still do.
Yes, I think so – I think the CCPPRC covets the resources, space and coastline – for many of the same reasons they have coveted the riches of Africa along with the strategic advantages.
Yup, and the stinking Aussie politicians participating in the plan will not be given what they were promised at the table. That is sweet to think about, in the end they will suffer just like everyone else.
They are going to take Africa and are already well on the way
There won’t be a single animal left on the entire continent.
The entirety of world “leadership” is composed of the most hateful , incompetent, vile idiots to ever walk the face of God’s earth. I am amazed at how Klaus Schwab ever found such a group so completely full of hatred for their fellow man. On second thought I am sure someone as power hungry as he would know exactly where to look.
Scary insight to follow.
Just take the word salad of EcoHealth Alliance.
It says it all.
As in EcoHealth = EcologyHealth.
Maybe these people have been found in those that worship at the alter that the ecology of the planet is at risk from human activities.
Meaning might these people believe there are too many people and requires nature to provide the solution.
This is age old. The likes of Schwab are but Devil’s minions.
Klaus Schwab somewhat remind me of Karl Rove . . . are they possibly related in any way?
Went back and looked at them both . . . I guess not . . . perhaps Klaus Schwab looks like a somewhat more lugubrious and dragged-down Karl Rove . . . maybe Karl Rove if he was trying to look like a real sad sack
. . . Paul Giamatti a more lugubrious version of Ben Bernanke (“Too Big To Fail”)
they are both globalists

That is, “A person that has developed naturally aquired antibodies though unvaccinated exposure and is not current ill with a break through exposure.”
Then how is that, “Any different then someone that was jabbed.”
Is not that the single most important point of the jab, “To develop and aquire antibodies to Covid.”
Yup, the point is, “Given the prevalence of significant break through contraction of COVID(in those jabbed) is a falacy in the politics of the jab.
Thus rendering vaccination status an emotional unscientific standard.
What if a person is jabbed, is currently experiencing asymptomatic illness and actively contagious, then the political science says that person because they are jabbed has free range to travel.
Blind political science be damned. This is about basic common sense science.
Immunity, acquired or manipulated, is not the goal. The strategic purpose of forced injections is to ensure absolute compliance to absolute power.
If we do not adamantly refuse their masks and injections, now, the only people left on earth will be natural slaves – a herd willing to line up and be injected with an unknown chemical ordered by their master.
that IS correct.
and I hope that MTK reads this and fully understands WHY the issue of immunity from infection is being actively rejected and censored by this corrupt global state agenda.
it HAS NEVER BEEN ABOUT SCIENTIFIC CONSISTENCY.
It has been about corrupting AND weaponizing scientific authority to advance a global power grab.
now everyone has a theory about why such a power grab has taken shape…
to understand this fully, one has to accept that SATAN HAS EMBEDDED HIS POWER (a non trivial force btw), INTO THE GODLESS STATE OF PEOPLE IN POWER.
These are not coincidences. These are not decisions made in simple consensus forms. These godless people ARE ATTRACTED TO THE POWER OF CONTROL, because it is very intoxicating. To control others is to become like god.
This has and will always be SATAN’s plan: to disrupt the natural rights of humans from god. To allocate power to humans and cause them to assume the role and prestige of God. Satan’s argument is that God is not fair, is not all powerful and is unjust. Satan’s solution is to influence the minds and actions of humans to reject God and to act in accordance to ONLY what they desire is right and wrong. In doing so, Satan attempts to destroy the single most powerful relationship humans can every experience: FAITH.
Satan will not stop. But WE HAVE ARMOR AGAINST THIS INFLUENCE: FAITH. RIGHTEOUS TRUTH. LOVE. OBEDIENCE TO GOD’S ALMIGHTY POWER.
Acting against the tyrannt state in this spiritual war is to accept that God is THE WAY< THE LIGHT AND THE TRUTH.
It is.
.
Yes. This is why I refuse ALL of it. I refuse to mask. Will not.
THE FIRST “NO” IS THE BEST “NO”.
two things that occur to me that need to be kicked back to these totalitarians:
“My Body, My Choice!”
“No Means No!
.
It’s not about health. It’s about obeying. Covid was a pretext. I wonder what’s next.
yes, very well put!
Bullshit
Prison colony.
Some peoples aren’t suited for freedom.
Oh yeah, cohesion.

This was in Toowoomba, Queensland yesterday after a protest march
At 1am the fearless Queensland police Service woke the owner of the pub and took him and his wife to the local police station. The owner refused to sign a document which would enable their release back into the community. Word got around. The police have to respond to any call of domestic disturbance. Well, in the wee small hours police got thousands of calls of domestic disturbance from all over Queensland. Whoops 😅
Bit by bit does the trick.

Mel Gibson has been awfully quiet hasnt he.

Hugh Grant is a Brit.

Australia, like us, will at some point learn that the absence of conflict is not necessarily peace. Imo, there using “social cohesion” as a synonym for peace. At some point in the future when they are mandated to take part in even more dangerous and experimental “medicine” plus umpteen more gubmint mandates there might be regrets.
In a similar vein, look how “peaceful” it is in this country not to cause conflict with looters, rioters, and other law breakers, some of whom, in the backward days, had to be physically restrained, sometimes using guns.
Yes. Remember how the Rittenhouse prosecutor said, “Sometimes you have to take your beating.” ???
Just give the schoolyard bully your lunch money to keep the peace.
This is an argument that “disturbing the peace” is the greater crime committed by the victim in self defense.
Should a woman being raped not fight back?
What a bunch of crap to argue nobody should fight back against tyranny or assault or attempted murder.
“Peace at any price” is enslavement to tyrants and violent criminals.
Should we have just said OK when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor? Would that have kept the peace?
When I read – and re-read – quotes like this by Winston Churchill, I think I know why some people don’t want him to be remembered:
“If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed;if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you maycome to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.”
Peace at any price is inherently anti-Christian. Pacifism requires the protection of others to sustain. Does it have a role? Arguably yes, but very limited.
Excellent.
“Social cohesion”? More like social conformity. Poor Oz, it used to be pretty cool.
I said to my husband tonight,” Believe that I do not believe anything coming from anyone.” Doctors, “experts,” Politicians, “news sources,”. Being well informed means doing research, checking sources, checking the sources’ sources…. This Treehouse is very good at challenging people to sit what they post. Not believing something, even if you Sooo want to believe it.
”I love you!” Do you? Are they words, easy to say? Is there evidence? Do you do a load of laundry? Run the dishwasher? Kiss me for no reason? Pop a bottle of champagne for no reason? Take the dog out to pee when it’s my turn? I have proof that my “I love You’s” are true and real. Lucky me!!!
Sorry, friends! Went on a rant there!
Ranting is healthy.
CTH readers get it..
Cheers!
Hi leenie61, your rant is the stuff women only dream of saying. 😎
You gave me a voice and may have had a profound impact on my marriage 👍
😊 ❤️
I understand that this man, had COVID, consequently he is immune. Yet the Leaders in Australia, want him to have the shots, which aren’t needed. Can we say STUPID? Glad I do not live in that country.
All the same is true for masks yet Americans are forced to comply. What country do you live in?
One and done is NOT true. I had Covid in April 2021. Felt sick, not seriously, lost my sense of smell and taste. Thought I was bulletproof…..until my husband got exposed by a fully vaxxed individual at work and brought it home. He and I both have had Covid and got it again. We’re recovering and fine but it is a myth that you can’t catch Covid again.
Or may it’s a myth that all covid like symptoms caused by the same virus.
Neither jabs nor illness convey lasting immunity to this mutating bastardized cold.
(My dog’s had Lyme disease four times. Gain of function? Plum Island is sus as hell.)
At the time he claims to have had Covid he was attending Public Functions. ……. He lied about this on his Visa Application. …… What do U.S.A. Border Police do when they catch a person Lying on a Stat. Dec. ……. They get Deported AFTER their Jail Term.
He’s had it twice.
I DID NOT KNOW this attitude in crabs. In fact I had not understood this concept “crabs in a bucket”. What an amazing insight!
Here’s a scenario for all of you to consider….
You have an immediate family member living abroad that you have been unable to see for 2 years because America closed its borders completely. Despite your family member being an American citizen they were prevented from coming to see you because the border was CLOSED. Then the border reopened but only to fully vaxed people – including citizens. So you still can’t see your family member because they refuse the vax, and you have no idea when you might be able to see them. Even IF you will ever be able to see them again.
Now, you see a famous tennis player who is a non-citizen and who also refuses the vax has been given special permission to enter. Can you honestly look inside your heart and say that you would be completely okay with that? That you think it would be a reasonable decision?
This IS the reality for so many Australians now.
The Australian experience during covid has been completely different to that of the US. Its easy to judge them and say that its because they are just “sheep”. A lot of them are. But a heck of a lot of them are not. But this situation was deeply personal for a lot of people. As someone in that exact situation, having the government let him in was just ANOTHER slap in the face. The government treatment of Australians during covid has made me physically sick – I agree with none of it. But the idea that you can take the personal story out of people’s response to a situation and claim its because they are not “real conservatives” or don’t value individual liberty is rather lacking in empathy in my view.
okay, you have said this several times before. Earlier up thread I asked you to consider the statement from Australian government officials that they felt they could do this to ensure social cohesion. This is the scariest thing I have heard–a government saying it can do anything it wants because it will add to social cohesion. You say we don’t understand the Australian experience but you are silent on the level of tyranny present.
Actually I have stated MANY times on various threads that I don’t agree with anything the Australian government has done or is doing.
Then you fight, you fight like hell. You also recognize that becoming like the tyrants who have ruined your lives isn’t winning – it’s weak and petty.
You fight until you can’t fight anymore.
How? How do you propose we fight it? How are Americans (as a whole since it now seems to be okay to tar an entire population with the same brush) fighting it? How have you fought the endless corruption of your government? How have your stopped the coup d’etat that took place there? That continues to take place? Why haven’t you stopped Fauci? Gates? Et al.
I fail to understand how punishing him will help others.
He should be the example for others to follow.
and I think it would be an excellent development if the Australians still fighting would embrace Novak Djokovic – by also joining in on the protests against Rio Tinto’s strip-mining in Serbia
heartburn for Rio Tinto and heartburn for the Prime Minister
The problem with your argument is that it’s based on a fallacy of logic.
If you are being kept outside of your country, your issue is with the tyrannical rule of your own government, not the unvaccinated person who was admitted.
You should embrace the standard of allowing an unvaccinated person into Australia. That is, inherently, after all what you want for everyone.
Instead, you demand the other unvaccinated person be kept out, just because you are. That’s the essential position of self, it has nothing to do with anyone else. You’re angry at your government but taking it out on the wrong person.
Cheer for Novak, because -whether you want to admit it or not- he was doing more to try and get you home than you were.
I never heard of the guy before this and I don’t even care if he’s a jerk or not or had Covid or not because for chrissakes at least he’s stirring sht up and giving the tyrants a headache and displaying the tyranny for more people to recognize.
Many see him as using his fame to cheat the rules. Okay. So what? These ‘rules’ suck. Why is it good to obey rules that suck? We’ve been doing way too much of that and our dear leaders have noticed.
Finally , a logical view of the matter. While it has some faults the Australian Federal Government is the most Trump -Like surviving in the World. Which Gov. was the first to demand an explanation from the Chinese Gov. ? Who has been Americas most reliable Allies in war for 80 years ? ……. There is real danger that the Socialists will get control next Election. Are you really believing the Media ?
The late conservative philosopher, Sir Roger Scruton, talks about the unique character of American conservatism as contrasted with British conservatism, though what he says of his fellow Brits I think would apply to the non-American Anglosphere in general, and hence Australians. American conservatives, says Scruton, admirably retain a sense of cheerful optimism and an absolute need for a happier vision to which to aspire – namely, the rediscovery and reactivation of our roots. Conservatives in the rest of the Anglosphere are not like us at all.
Thinking the imminent Davos confab (Jan 17-21, 2022) may have driven Hawke/Morrison to address the untolerable optics of having Djokvich play out the Australian Open. “Social cohesion”, sure … in Davos!!
https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2022/01/the-davos-agenda-2022-addressing-the-state-of-the-world/
when I hear that term “social cohesion” it sounds so unpalatable – like one big glob of flour paste
My solution to all of this:
MOAB, meet Davos.
Thank you for explaining it so well, Sundance!
Australian Senator Alex Antic, was on War Room in December.
He was an outspoken critic of the government’s covid policies. Upon his usual return from Canberra ( for govt business) to his home state, he was met at the airport by media, photographer and authorities.
He was ordered to go to a detention or medi hotel, for the crime of being unvaxxed. Antic was tested and covid free.
Novak was placed with illegals in a hellhole dive, to send a message. He could have been ordered to remain in house he rented for the tournament — but that wasn’t punishment enough. That didn’t send a message.
Novak stood up for human rights in a world where they are disappearing. Two years ago it was flatten the curve and herd immunity. That’s old news for these despots.
OUT! Novak Djokovic becomes target of mocking memes after his visa bid to remain in Australia is officially rejected
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10407679/OUT-Novak-Djokovic-target-memes-bid-remain-Australia-officially-rejected.html
I would like to see some memes about the Prime Minister and the Chairman of the Board of Rio Tinto enduring a real case of heartburn and then when the Prime Minister and all the other political “leaders” are at each other’s throats and engaging in the blame game when Rio Tinto begins demanding an end to this nonsense. Or is Rio Tinto not really that powerful or big?
Then should be even easier to have a successful worldwide campaign against Rio Tinto strip-mining in Serbia.
A boxing match – the citizens against totalitarian assholes, the undericket, the citizens against strip-mining in Serbia by Rio Tinto
A boxing match – the citizens against totalitarian MONSTERS, the undericket, the citizens against strip-mining in Serbia by Rio Tinto
(amending this part of what I said but I left it too long so missed the edit window – not only striving to be more polite but also – really – MONSTERS encompasses everything)
Actions of a government in fear. When will the people of Australia take their country back from this madness?
MAGAM: Make Australia Great Again, ‘Mate!
So an unvaccinated person is now a threat to the social cohesion of Australia? Nice house of cards you’ve built down there. A pity you’ve made it such a fragile artificial construct anyone with two brain cells could destroy it. What a pathetic disgrace you are to the rest of humanity who’ve already rejected the strong delusion you operate under. That isn’t a government you’ve got there. That’s a death cult on par with the one that destroyed Germany by the spring of 1945, and I’m pretty sure you won’t even last as long as that did.
Bravo Arthur!
This will only stop when people in many countries decide not to show up for work for a whole week. Mass walk out and boycott.
Then the satanic oligarchy will surrender.
.
Where’s the boycott by the tennis players?
Unlike most on this Site , the other players know the facts. ……. Basically they had two choices. ….. Get Vaccinated or don,t come. …… The third choice , used by one player , was tell lies on your Visa Application , and say ” But I am Famous ” when caught.
Looks like most Aussies are glad that Novak will not win his 4th Open in a row down under.
yes, that is what I would like to know . . .
and also a boycott by the “fans”
or are they so oblivious they don’t even see what is going on in the world?
another meme: the vast stands of tennis fans assembled to watch the game – one set, they are doing that thing that people do when watching a tennis match (heads swiveling north to south, south to north – or is that only in the movies)
then, they stop swiveling, look across the net at the other side of the stadium, all arise and leave
or if that is too complicated, just don’t show up
Not surprising when they put ads out like this!
This is completely insane!
.
Disgusting.
That was vomit inducing.
Great, a grooming video, how perfect. Jesus, You can come any time now.
Being a threat to “social cohesion” might be the single lamest standard in jurisprudence history
I’ve lost jobs, wives, family and friends, all because of my lack of social cohesion.
Sundance, I think you have poked a stick in the hornets nest, which is good. I noticed our resident Mongrel has had not made one post. It is hard for them to accept what they created and accept as normal, is not, and yes the USA form of government is the right way, and always will be. I commend you for always speaking the truth.
As one comenter from down under said that they were just protecting their boarders, all the while never mention all the boat people they let in plus unlimited immigration of Muslims.Remember the island where they had them all stored and wanting President Trump to let them come here.One unvaxed man has to be deported.
Well your spiteful credibility just flew out the window ! First comment timestamps 8.15 ?
Four other comments ?
I suggest the one above on this page might suit you !
You can appolagise here.
Sorry I missed your post. And my statement was in regards to whether you agreed or disagreed . Noting your reaction to what you think I said, I can not honestly say.
Your post is erroneous and counterproductive.
What purpose does it serve to go after a like minded regular poster using false statements?
I fled africa hoping to find a new and better life in Austrlia, I left there after three years and came back, the place is stiffling in the extreme, africa is a dungheap but it is freer than many places nowadays even though it is more dangerous.
Interesting analysis. I too have wondered what’s gotten to the Aussies. You can’t argue that they are uneducated or unworldly, these people are some of the most well traveled people on the planet. Then I did some digging and found them to be utterly consumerist, hedonistic and shallow. You want to see what Australians value? Check out some of the Bread Gang videos on YouTube and see what has happened to the Aussie youth.
Oh so a youtube video is representative of our whole country’s values? Sigh….
A Canadian once informed me that all Americans were cackling hillbillies with guns. He was polite about it though.
So do you condone this abhorrent level of debasement and degeneracy that is rampant in your people?
Sundance,
I would like to comment on your picture of the sticker from The White Rose.
My teenage daughter is a part of this movement and places these stickers everywhere she goes where we live in Texas hoping she will wake people up to the tyranny that is destroying our country.
The White Rose was created during WWII by German students who opposed Hitler. The story of these brave students who were executed for creating a leaflet opposing the German government is an inspiration to others living under totalitarian governments. They gave their lives to stand up for freedom.
Today the organization has members all over the world who print stickers like the ones in your picture and place them in public places.
I hope that you and others will watch the story of The White Rose here
And please check out thier website described here
The White Rose is a global network of independent activists, all working in unison to disseminate a much needed counter narrative to the relentless fear mongering, lies and propaganda we’ve all been subjected to since day one of the Covid-19 scamdemic.
https://t.me/JoinTheWhiteRose
Small things like these messages of truth and freedom are changing the world one person, one sticker at a time.
.
Most Australians have indeed been suffering the tyranny, and many leftists also have been decrying Australia’s extremely strict anti-migrant rules — so what makes a celebrity tennis player special. Elites get special dispensations? (It was alleged in prior case that he fudged the rules, too… a “positive Covid test” isn’t illness, and he was traveling around in December.)
It is not for ordinary Australians to contest this. There are plenty of tennis players from other countries whose obligation it now is at this point is to walk out.
Well, these assholes trying to force us to get injections are threatening our social cohesion.
exactly!
One very noticeable exception to this.

Threat to ‘Social Cohesion’?
Hell – DIVERSITY is a “threat to social cohesion” here in the U.S.
Can we deport us some diversity?
It is the corrupt ‘elite’ politicians in Aussie USA and particularly EU, where countries don’t even vote for their EU rulers, who are totally corrupt, tyrannical, totalitarian – if not communism- rulers/politicians – following Schwab’s Great Reset with a big twist of Gates-Fauci scamdemic with a full dose of vaccines.
I’ll never cohere to any society that would adhere to me! I have standards!
I love a true contrarian
Paraphrasing Groucho Marx?
This is a cracker….vax could destroy the insurance industry…take a vax and die, appears to be classified as suicide ( you knew the documented risks, which included death, so …. no payout …tough bikkies, pal).
https://freewestmedia.com/2022/01/14/life-insurer-refuses-to-cover-vaccine-death/
“According to the company, an experimental vaccination resulting in death is like suicide
The insurance company justified the refusal of payment to the family by stating that the use of experimental medication or treatments, including Corona injections, is expressly excluded from the insurance contract. The family’s subsequent lawsuit against the insurance company has been unsuccessful “
I am an Australian and have also lived in the US. I am utterly disgusted in my country and so many of its citizens.
Far too many here have no idea at all about freedoms and the price of freedom and the stupid “the government needs to fix it” cry is one you hear often.
Our govt does not represent me or many of my friends. We are aghast at the loss of freedoms and the venomous comments from people who I would classify as evil doers of the first order, keen to jab anybody forcibly even though there is no long term safety data and its clear they only make catching covid a higher certainty.
All i can say is that if Dr Bhakdi, Ryan Cole, Peter McCullough etc are all correct about the huge potential for massive health issues from these poison death shots then a huge no of Australians will be severely impacted. Part of me is sad as there are my friends and relatives in there, some of whom now realise their error. But part of me feels that hopefully a very large no of the idiots here learn a very salutary lesson that you NEVER trust your govt and NEVER trust any politician. Always be extraordinarily skeptical and look quickly to see what they get as a benefit of any decision.
Australia used to be a good country and I served in the Army here. I would never serve this country whilst the current corrupt and incompetent idiots are at the helm. They have betrayed everybody and are destructive and wrong.
If only he identified as vaccinated, all this unpleasantness could have been avoided.
He probably noticed how many young athletes were dying after getting the vax. Once that stuff is in your system you can’t get it out. No amount of trophies and titles (and money) are worth dying for.
S
