People wonder why they should be paying attention to what happens in Australia.  Well, quite simply, if you can identify where the test facility is for technology to merge with totalitarian objectives, it becomes valuable to follow what they do – and then predict what the future might look like for you.  Australia and New Zealand are testing the parameters of merging the objectives of the control state with technology and citizen compliance.

A year ago, the leftists in U.S. media were cheering the COVID responsibility of Kiwis and Aussies.  However, things are starting to take a very dark turn now.  Even the ultra-far-left Atlantic Magazine is starting to become aware, and what they are seeing is becoming worrisome.

[T]he 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.”  (read more)

The South Australian directorate is merely following the path of what already exists in Western Australia and Tasmania.  The state government is monitoring COVID compliance via cell phones, geolocation and random inquires to check the status of citizen compliance.  Yes, there’s now an app for that.  An “app”?  The term sounds so innocuous; and they are proud, publicly proud, of the system they are putting in place.

Against the backdrop of COVID compliance and the totalitarian efforts of various world leaders, it does not seem coincidental that Australia and New Zealand are two partners within the “five-eyes” intelligence apparatus; Canada, the U.K. and U.S. are the remaining three.  Indeed, an argument can be made that Aussies and Kiwis are the test populations for the objectives of the western alliance.

Recently, a mash-up of statements was released highlighting Comrade Premier Gladys Berejiklian, the leader of the Australian New South Wales Directorate, showcasing the mindset and outlook of regional officials toward any formerly ‘free range’ citizen who might challenge the dictates of the regime.  WATCH:

.

The remix is somewhat tongue in cheek.  However, given the actual rules imposed by the COVID compliance divisions within Australia, the message is not far away from where the ultimate end-game of the governing authority is heading.  Last week, the New South Wales Ministry of COVID Compliance announced locked-down citizens will be permitted to get married again; however, only five persons of ideological alignment will be permitted to witness any formal union or celebration.

In an effort to keep the Daily Open Thread a little more open topic we are going to start a new daily thread for “Presidential Politics”. Please use this thread to post anything relating to the JoeBama Administration and Presidency.

“This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can’t be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won’t be done. The Founders’ Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.”

“But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.”

For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

Jaime Herrera-Beutler, from Washington state congressional district-03, is one of the DeceptiCons in the House.  Not only did she vote for President Trump’s impeachment, but she also voted to support Nancy Pelosi’s 2022 election effort through the January 6th Committee.   JHB is essentially a vile, self-serving worm of a politician with no redeeming qualities.

Today, President Trump has announced his support for her primary challenger Joe Kent:

“Joe Kent is a retired Green Beret and Gold Star husband running against RINO and incompetent Congresswoman Jaime Herrera Beutler in the 3rd District of the State of Washington. Joe served his country proudly for many years and understands the tremendous cost of America’s wars in the Middle East, and elsewhere. In Congress, Joe will be a warrior for the America First agenda, unlike Jaime Herrera Beutler who voted, despite the facts, against the Republican Party and for the Democrats’ Impeachment Scam.”

“Joe Kent is strong on Crime and the Border, loves our Military and our Vets, and will protect our Second Amendment, which is under siege. I met Joe at Dover Air Force Base on the evening that his wife was being brought back from the Middle East, where she had been killed in combat. It was a very sad moment in Joe’s life, but I was incredibly impressed with him and told him that he should someday run for office—we need his voice and leadership in Washington, D.C. Now he is running, and Joe Kent has my Complete and Total Endorsement!”  ~ President Donald J Trump

After receiving the endorsement, Joe Kent appeared on Bannon’s War Room to discuss.

There is an argument to be made that U.S. policy specifically, perhaps intentionally, culminated in delivering a mechanized national army for the Muslim Brotherhood to use in Afghanistan.   Earlier today, the Taliban held a celebratory parade including U.S. military assets we left for the Afghan army.

A couple of videos below highlight the types of vehicles and weapons now in the hands of Taliban forces, and they are not exclusive to the Kabul area.  Mavlave Abdul Ghafor, the Kandahar Commander of Taliban, congratulated Afghans on “great victory and success”.

Whether the Taliban forces have the systems, personnel and training to maintain and operate this equipment in the long-term is unknown.  However, in the interim period they are well prepared to fight an internal civil war against any entity who would challenge their power.

According to the data provided by the U.S. State Department in the last few days, the total number of people evacuated from the Kabul airport was 122,000.  Of those, 6,000 were American citizens (AmCits), and 116,000 were Afghan refugees.

Today the State Department admits the “majority” of the qualified Afghan people who assisted the U.S. during operations in Afghanistan, Afghan Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) applicants, did not get evacuated.  That admission begs the question: then who the heck are those 116,000 refugees?

It’s not just some NBC reporter relaying information, there are multiple reports of exactly the same dynamic.   According to the Wall Street Journal, “The U.S. left behind the majority of Afghan interpreters and others who applied for visas to flee Afghanistan, a senior State Department official said on Wednesday, despite frantic efforts to evacuate those at risk of Taliban retribution in the final weeks of the airlift.”

[…] The U.S. still doesn’t have reliable data on who was evacuated, nor for what type of visas they may qualify, the official said, but initial assessments suggested most visa applicants didn’t make it through the crush at the airport. “I would say it’s the majority of them,” the official said. “Just based on anecdotal information about the populations we were able to support.”

Team-One (State Dept, CIA, Intel Community) continue to pummel Team-Two (Biden, WH, Pentagon, NSC) with leaks to media.

After Joe Biden delivered his speech to the nation claiming no-one saw the collapse of the Afghan government coming, the intel group leak the transcript and recording of a July 23rd phone call between Biden and Afghan President Ashraf Ghani showing everything Biden said today was a lie.

(Reuters) – […] Reuters reviewed a transcript of the presidential phone call and has listened to the audio to authenticate the conversation. The materials were provided on condition of anonymity by a source who was not authorized to distribute it.

[…] In much of the call, Biden focused on what he called the Afghan government’s “perception” problem. “I need not tell you the perception around the world and in parts of Afghanistan, I believe, is that things are not going well in terms of the fight against the Taliban,” Biden said. “And there is a need, whether it is true or not, there is a need to project a different picture.”
