People inside Southwest Airlines are speaking out carefully and pointing out why there are so many flight disruptions.   Essentially, the background issues are what were discussed earlier.  Pilots are pushing back against vaccine mandates; and if you think about the curriculum vitae of a typical pilot, it makes sense.

A big percentage of commercial airline pilots are former military pilots.  That group of people carry a strong disposition toward the principles of patriotism, service, liberty and freedom.

It is a simple truism that upsets leftists, but it makes sense for this specifically skilled workforce group to be the tip of the push back spear.

Alex Berenson provides some background details after being contacted by a Southwest pilot: “The pilot emailed following the first Southwest post today (and provided his SWA ID to prove his identity). He asked that I paraphrase the email.

Essentially, the union cannot organize or even acknowledge the sickout, because doing so would make it an illegal job action. Years ago, Southwest and its pilots had a rough negotiation, and the union would not even let the pilots internally discuss the possibility of working-to-rule (which would have slowed Southwest to a crawl).

Lithuania was the first European nation to require vaccinations and the presentation of a COVID passport to engage in any element of society.  A Twitter user named Gluboco Lietuva  shares what it is like to live unvaccinated in a nation where showing your vaccination papers are required for everything.

Lietuva paints a very stark picture of what everyday life is really like for a family that refuses to comply with vaccine tyranny.  It is painful, but necessary to read how much life has changed.  [READ HIS STORY HERE]  Note how eerily similar his story is to the image we presented over a decade ago….

“With no Covid Pass, my wife and I are banished from society. We have no income. Banned from most shopping. Can barely exist. But we will not accept authoritarianism.

Here’s how life looks after one month in Lithuania, under Europe’s first strict, society-wide Covid Pass regime.” (continue reading)

Steven Miller’s legal group, America-First Legal (AFL) has written a very interesting letter [pdf HERE] to the DOJ Office of Inspector General outlining insider information about a coordinated effort by outside education activists, White House officials and DOJ collaborators.

The basic outline is that left-wing activists, steeped in Critical Race Theory, were alarmed at how the grassroots parent groups were organizing so rapidly against the Marxist school curriculum they had spent so much time creating.  The group activists including allies within the NEA (National Education Association) and AFT (American Federation of Teachers) viewed the parent push back as a threat, and requested help from the White House.

Biden Domestic Policy Council officials and White House staff worked through September with the education activists to brainstorm a plan to stop the push back from parents.  According to the internal documents used as evidence by America First Legal, these groups then coordinated “discussions with senior DOJ officials, including at least one political appointee in the department’s Civil Rights Division.”

After a plan was developed, the group then enlisted the National School Boards Association to join the strategy.  According to AFL, “On or about September 29, citing legal authorities including the Patriot Act, the “National School Boards Association” made public a letter demanding federal action against parents citing authorities including the Patriot Act.”

The headline might seem a little odd; but, then again, isn’t everything upside down as we walk through Alice’s COVID-19 looking glass.

Factually, Russian President Vladimir Putin, Chinese Chairman Xi Jinping and the Mullahs in Iran could not purposefully shift the global image of western democracy in the way the leaders of many nations have done all by themselves.  However, as Russian state television provides their viewers with actual scenes on the ground in Australia, there’s a disconcerting irony that starts to become even more worrisome.

Imagine you are a terrorist member of the Taliban, ISIS, AQAP, Hezbollah, the PLO, or executing genocide on behalf of the Lord’s Resistance Army in Uganda.  Or perhaps you lead a Marxist government like Cuba or Venezuela.  Is there anything more valuable than being able to transmit these kind of images as propaganda toward those you victimize?

At least there used to be a difference between brutal dictatorships and western democracies.   Now, however, the world watches as those western nations accept this:

.

It’s not a surprise to see China, Russia and Iran allowing their citizens to see what is happening in Australia.  If you were a citizen in Taiwan, could China create a more impactful message to manipulate you toward a psyche of resignation?   Think about it….

At 1:00am on August 25th, Nancy Pelosi and House Democrats came to an agreement on a massive spending proposal.  The Senate previously passed a $1.5 trillion “infrastructure” bill, and a group of 9 House moderates -led by Josh Gottheimer- wanted to see it pass.  However, the far-left progressive caucus wanted their $3.5 trillion spending package which includes Green New Deal spending passed as part of the total budget agenda.

Representative Gottheimer’s group did not concur with the House $3.5 trillion spending proposal and saw no-way for it to pass the Senate.

An internal deal was struck amid the Democrats for Gottheimer’s coalition to agree to advance a rules change with two conditions on that August 25th late night discussion {GO DEEP}:

(1) Pelosi would have to promise to bring the $1.5 infrastructure bill to a vote on September 27th; and (2) Any larger GND/”Human Infrastructure” bill  ($3.5 spending package) would need to be structured to pass the Senate.

Again, back on August 25th, the ‘moderate’ Marxists (for lack of a better term) could see that AOC’s progressive caucus spending bill was unlikely to pass the Senate in its current form.   To get the Gottheimer group on board, House Speaker Pelosi agreed to the two conditions, as negotiated.  To appease the AOC nuts, everyone agreed to tie both the $1.5 trillion infrastructure and the $3.5 trillion spending boondoggle together.

Fast forward through the next four weeks. The Senate struggled to come to any agreement as Senator Manchin (WV) and Senator Sinema (AZ), along with others, balked at the insufferable nature of the $3.5 trillion blueprint that would remake the entire U.S. economy and end up with a massive $5+ trillion deficit.    Eventually both Manchin and Sinema tapped-out, there would be no way to compromise with the far-left moonbat caucus who were dug in.

The Police in/around Melbourne Australia (State of Victoria) are becoming very uncomfortable that people are recording their beatings and brutality and posting them on social media.  In an effort to stop media reporting on the continued police actions, law enforcement is now attempting to block media from being present.

Kudos to Avi Yemini and Rebel News for refusing to acquiesce to the police thug tactics.  Watch this insufferable exhibition of lawless cops with guns and badges attempting to intimidate Rebel News.

On day three of the Melbourne labor union protests against the brutal COVID lock-downs and forced mRNA genetic experiments, the Victorian government decided to open fire upon the peaceful protestors. The police triggered a ‘no-fly zone’ in the Melbourne metropolitan area to stop media from using their helicopters to record the protests and violent police activity.

While the official motive given by police for the media ban was to block protestors from knowing where the thousands of police were amassing; the background issue of the government wanting to keep the Australian people from seeing police open fire upon their own citizens is transparently obvious.  Americans would be wise to pay attention to all facets of how the Australian government is moving violently against their own citizens.  [PIC: Partial Protest Crowd at Melbourne Shrine of Remembrance]

As we have seen in the U.S, there is an alarming alignment between the operatives of the Australian government and the media stenographers who willingly push a “violent extremist” narrative in order to downplay the brutal police tactics being deployed against ordinary working class Victorians.   As you watch the first video below, it is well worth remembering these are the same Melbourne police units who took a knee during last years Black Lives Matter protests in Melbourne.

Thousands of heavily outfitted and well-armed jackboots -with armor plated MRAP vehicles in support- confronted the protest groups throughout the Melbourne metro area.  The police deployments forced the groups to assemble at Melbourne’s Shrine of Remembrance where a stand-off took place between the protestors and thousands of police units surrounding them.  Once they had the protestors surrounded, the police began tightening the perimeter, until they eventually opened fire with tear gas and rubber bullets.

It started with a few hundred on Day One. Then Grew to several thousand on Day Two.

In preparation for Day Three of the trade union revolt, Victoria Premier Daniel Andrews promises to punish the protestors and orders thousands more riot police into the city of Melbourne to crush the rebellion.  Victorians will take their forced mRNA gene modification, or they will die trying to resist it.

Using the state media to push his warning against non-compliant citizens of the state lockdown, Premier Andrews was joined by Victorian Police Minister Lisa Neville and Police Chief Shane Patton in charge of the jackboots.   Andrews, Neville and Patton promised to use the full weight of police tactics and riot squads to crush any protest group who attempts to unlawfully assemble. [Video Below]

Laughably, the head of the local police, Jackboot Shane Patton, accuses the protesters of attempting to hide their alignment with the trade groups by purchasing yellow “hi-vis” vests from the local WalMart stores.  This, he claims, is an organized effort to make the scale of the protesting trade union appear larger than it is; and he sells this as evidence of a right-wing conspiracy to undermine the state authority.  Apparently the head of the jackboots has never heard of the “Yellow Vest” movement, which is now being duplicated in Melbourne.

Yes folks, this is the scale of psychological manipulation now being pushed against the citizens in the formerly free-range state of Victoria, Australia.  It would appear the ministry of COVID compliance do not believe their citizens have access to the internet.    The protests continue today, DAY THREE:

Something uniquely telling about these remarks today before the United Nations. Something transparently obvious that most will miss.

While bragging about how the United States is the world’s leading provider of COVID-19 mRNA gene therapy, Biden notes it will take a “collective act of political will” to deal with a public health emergency. Think about that carefully. WATCH:

TRANSCRIPT – “Bombs and bullets cannot defend against COVID-19 or its future variants. To fight this pandemic, we need a collective act of science and political will. We need to act now to get shots in arms as fast as possible and to expand access to oxygen, tests, treatments to save lives around the world.

And for the future, we need to create a new mechanism to finance global health security that builds on our existing development assistance, and Global Health Thr- — and a Global Health Threat Counc- — Council that is armed with the tools we need to monitor and identify emerging pandemics so that we can take immediate action.

Things are getting spicy in Australia, specifically the town of Richmond in the Melbourne area.  Righteous anti-lockdown protestors took to the streets against thousands of armed police and heavily geared riot squads prepared to beat them into submission and stop their march {Direct Rumble Link}.

As the government stormtroopers corralled the peacefully marching protesters into an ever smaller dead end where there were blocked in all directions, a valiant member of the resistance opened a gateway through a housing division enabling the crowd to continue amassing, assembling more supporters and continue marching.

The police then formed a battle formation in the street attempting to cordon-off the remaining roadway and block the march from continuing.  However, after a few tense minutes of standoff the protesters rushed the police and fought their way through.  Google is attempting to block this video.  WATCH:

.

Fearful the nation of patriots would join in further rebellion, the Australian propaganda media were quickly called into action to defend the state regime.  The controlled media immediately began broadcasting sympathetic stories of how the police suffered injuries at the hands of the rowdy protestors who “were looking for a fight,” or so the officially recognized narrative is told.

“The police suffered broken bones and had to be transported to the hospital after they were assaulted by the angry mob,” that’s the official media statement you can see below.  However, the reality of what took place is 180° divergent from the state-run media story.  In fact, the peaceful marchers were being assaulted by the police all along their route.
