The enforcement of lockdown rules in Australia has jumped to another level, with the army knocking on doors to check that people who have tested positive are self-isolating and helicopters blaring the message: “This is public health order – do not break rules – you will be found and fines issued.”
Police are also checking IDs to ensure that citizens are not outside their ‘exercise radius‘, and those not wearing face masks are being hit with $500 fines. MailOnline has more.
[On Sautrday], up to 1,300 police officers swarmed Sydney and set up a network of roadblocks in a massive show of force to avoid a repeat of last week’s violent anti-lockdown protest.
Some 250 fines, each worth $500, were issued across the city today, with one man arrested after travelling on trains outside his local Government area without a reasonable excuse.
It comes after Prime Minister Scott Morrison had launched a four-stage plan back to freedom but said 80% of adults would have to be vaccinated before the border can begin to open.
Sydney’s five million people are under a strict stay-at-home order because of a worrying surge of nearly 3,000 infections since the middle of June.
Authorities have this week outlined even tighter restrictions for some worst-affected suburbs, including mandatory testing and mask-wearing outdoors.
From Monday, some 300 army personnel will help police go door to door to ensure people who have tested positive are isolating.
New South Wales Police Commissioner Mick Fuller told a news conference: “The sheer volume of increase over the last week, the level of compliance has gone from hundreds into thousands.”
The military personnel will not be armed and will be under police command, he said. …
[Australia] is faced with the spread of the much more infectious Indian variant that is proving able to overcome lockdown measures. Many highly vaccinated countries are now re-opening, but Australia is sticking to its ‘Zero Covid’ strategy while its vaccine drive lags behind the rest of the world.
Sydney’s latest surge of cases has been traced back to an unmasked, unvaccinated airport driver who got infected last month. Since then, Australia’s biggest city has reported 13 deaths.

I wonder what those Australians who fought against Japanese tyranny would think of their own government metamorphosing into a military dictatorship!
They wouldn’t think about it at all; they’d just get on with turfing the government out of office, and dealing with anyone who tried to stop them. There were Australians on the Dam Busters raid; that’s the calibre of the people they were. I doubt they’ve changed that much.
Aaaah, I see what you did there…it’s all the fault of someone ‘unvaccinated’. No evidence presented of course. People are meant to lap up this bile and regurgitate it, no doubt, as anger directed at ‘unvaccinated’.
Well, guess who regurgitated it??!!
This is the undiluted communist doomsday cultism of lockdown ideology in one story.
Police forcing people to stay indoors to protect against a virus that’s far harder to catch outdoors than it is indoors.
I hate Australia, green ideology rules there, resulting in the catastrophic fires of last year and the endless series of lockdowns. Apparently, ‘climate change’ causes arson and the cessation of backburns.
Also, they recently destroyed the entire penguin population of an entire island by introducing the Tasmanian devil there and called it conservation.
I think we must be sceptical of this type of report. It could be part of the propaganda campaign which has terrorised the population over the “pandemic crisis”
There is no doubt that this type of story acts to demoralise resistance and to present a façade of unlimited control over us and our freedoms.
I think we need to be more critical of stories and videos that show immediate police and army crackdown on dissent. They are publicised as part of the propaganda campaign and to show that resistance is useless.
I doubt that any government could control all its citizens actions to this degree. They could all be crisis actors. Just ask yourself, who made this film?
We are told that the Australians have no freedom. They are told we are all in lockdown with huge death rates…these are all exaggerations to promote the agenda of the cabal.
What will it take for the sheeple to wake up and realise this whole Covid war is about CONTROL. Of them, of us, the ‘useless eaters’. Not only are the poor saps in Australia being put under permanent virtual house arrest, but they are being bullied into taking poisonous gene therapy jabs and losing their right to free speech and to demonstrate. And losing their jobs and ability to support themselves and their families.
And we’re very close behind. Wait for the jabbed to fall sick and die in increasing numbers this winter for a new ‘variant’ to be announced as the reason for new lockdowns and hounding of those sane enough to refuse the experimental injections. No way the Government is going to admitt their frantically pushed Covid injections are killing and maiming in huge numbers. They are implicated in a great crime and will follow the New World Order playbook.
Leaders bought or threatened. Or both? Nothing else makes sense for a cold virus.
Full blown totalitarianism! The Police and the Army personnel who enforce this tyranny must be stupid or completely brainwashed!
“Just following orders, Sah!”
We know what history has taught (some) of us about that.
The police are certainly both (stupidity is an essential requirement for membership) and have been programmed to think of law-abiding tax payers as their enemy. The soldiers are not stupid but have been trained to obey without question the orders of their superiors. However, tyrants have occasionally found that soldiers, unlike police officers, retain a sense of morality and turn on their superiors in support of the people.
Australia gets to 1984 first.
What next; miniguns from the helicopters raining down death on joggers?
if it keeps everyone safe
My wife wanted us to all move to Sydney several years ago. Man, what a bullet I dodged there. Of course its not much better here in the UK but I would seriously be losing my shit even more if I lived there.
So will Australians just put up with this.Like the UK its probably one of the nations that has spent the last 30 years condeming North Korea and its “brainwashed” citizens and now ………..

Can anyone any longer pretend that these are the actions of a democratic government serving its people? It is flat out tyranny. Invent a health crisis, impose a properly stupid response, ie lockdowns – in case anyone hadn’t noticed, lockdowns don’t work – and then deploy maximum force to ram it home. We are teetering on the verge of the gravest crisis the free world has known since 1939. And still the leaders of said free-world insist they are acting in the interests of us all. They are not. I can’t know whether there is genuinely any truth in the Great Re-Set, us all to be turned into the automata of a tiny elite and their master plan. But it sure as hell begins to feel that way. There is an answer. We all of us simply need to say ‘No!’. Or, put more simply, Fuck Off. Every time you are approached, every time you are cajoled, every time you are bullied, every time you are told you need a vaccine, every time you are ordered to stay at home, every time you are fined, every time you are pinged, every time you are told to quarantine, every time you… Read more »
The problem is how do you say “Fuck Off!” to something like the “Let’s continue to protect each other” sign Waitrose is using? The real message here is “You must be afraid of the others to protect yourself” and people seeing this all the time is sufficient for it to work. Even when they fail to take conscious notice of this, there brains still record it and will later serve it up as memory.
That’s a form of subconscious “programming” commonly employed in marketing campaigns. A simple example of this would be a photo of a hamburger with the word Tasty! written over it. The idea behind this is to form an association between the image and the word. And – ideally – the next time someone exposed to this sees a hamburger, he’ll think “Tasty!” and buy one.
No, you simply say Fuck Off. And while you are about it, take your Tasty with you. Fuck Off is the message. There is much more that can be said. But the essence is simple: Fuck Off. If you wrote Fuck Off on any Waitrose sign sanctimoniously saying ‘Let’s continue to protect each other’, I think you’d make the point in pretty short order. Don’t compromise. Say it and mean it.
I never get pinged because I never downloaded the app. For everything else, I use those two words.
Too banal and crude to make your point. Something more is required.
Please do not ask me to wear a mask as a punch in the face often offends?
That sort of thing?
Please kindly fuck off. Would that do?
Medical martial law.
Wow.
And how many Australians have died?
this is about control not the virus – as you all know

Does anyone else find themselves wanting to cheer on the virus… Gwan Covid!!!!
Australians of all states, unite.
You have nothing to lose but your masks.
Leave it much longer and it will be chains.
“Sydney’s latest surge of cases has been traced back to an unmasked, unvaccinated airport driver who got infected last month. Since then, Australia’s biggest city has reported 13 deaths.”
Complete and utter bollocks.
Doesn’t anybody in Australia have a high powered rifle?
So, now, does the vaccine work, and why is COVID and its variants killing people still? Simply put, as your body is introduced to more and more COVID virus (or vaccines) your body begins building a larger and larger reservoir of very harmful S1 presenting Non-Classical Monocytes, that will eventually kill you. So, if you had COVID, you have a reservoir already. If you get the vax, now you have even more. If you get a second vax, or encounter people with COVID, you get even more and more, until you die, unless you do something to induce apoptosis in your Non-Classical Monocytes.
So yes, the vaccine is not useless, it does immunize people against COVID, but it destroys their immune system by creating a reservoir of S1 protein presenting Non-Classical Monocytes that reduce the body’s ability to produce antibodies to fight off future COVID infection. If you induce apoptosis in your monocytes, then the vaccine works, and is not overly dangerous. As it is right now, the vaccine is immunizing people against COVID, but then putting their body in a state that it can’t fight off COVID, as well as many other pathogens. In addition, the vaccine can kill… Read more »
Cripes.
I think I need to take up smoking, to soothe my jangled nerves as well as protect me against both covvie and quacksweeny.
That’s a great post.
Would this work to neutralise the adverse vaccine effects? Just thinking I may be forced to have it eventually.
Useful links thanks.
I think this is a description of some elements of the process of antibody dependent enhancement that we have been discussing here for a while. I remember that non neutralising antibodies enable the monocytes to engulf viral particles but not destroy them, and carry them to parts of the body the virus cannot target by itself.
This sounds much like a similar process.
IF YOU COULD FORCE YOUR NON-CLASSICAL MONOCYTES TO UNDERGO APOPTOSIS, the vaccine would work properly. Bruce Patterson suggests using several drugs in his protocol to achieve the goals. Ivermectin kills the virus, Statins prevent the S1 protein presenting Monocytes from attaching to your cells, and several drugs (including nicotine) can induce monocyte apoptosis. When the S1 presenting Non-Classical monocytes undergo apoptosis, the S1 protein is destroyed, and the nano clotting, inflammation, etc. go away. This is also why smokers have been shown to test positive for COVID symptoms 80% less than the general population, the nicotine effectively renders them immune to the effects of the S1 protein, and thus most of COVID’s symptoms. https://www.webmd.com/lung/news/20200430/smokers-hospitalized-less-often-for-covid-19
So, remember, what the virus does, and what the spike proteins do are 2 different things. But, your body only responds by creating antibodies that will recognize and destroy the spike proteins (which neutralizes COVID’s ability to replicate within the body, thus killing COVID). But the spike protein symptoms (vasodilation, inflammation, and nanoclotting) are not what the virus does (destroying hemoglobin).
NOW, to the vaccine. The vaccine injects either an adenovirus, or graphene oxide (toxic to humans in high doses, but processed by an enzyme from the lungs in 2-3 weeks usually) into your body. https://phys.org/news/2018-08-natural-human-enzyme-biodegrade-graphene.html
The vaccine either had spike proteins in it (Pfizer and Moderna) or causes your cells to begin producing spike proteins via mRNA (Pfizer, Moderna, J&J, Astrazeneca, all of them but Novavax). This causes your body to have an immediate immune response and begin producing antibodies against the spike proteins. This does make your body effectively immune to COVID if it worked properly. But it doesn’t for 1 reason. The S1 spike proteins being eaten by your Classical Monocytes are being turned into Non-Classical monocytes (which should die in 1 week or less normally) that are not undergoing apoptosis, and therefore never dying. These S1… Read more »
Now, on to the spike proteins. When you get infected with COVID, the spike proteins go around infecting certain cells and injecting viral RNA (set of temporary instructions) and duplicating the virus. It takes about 1 week for your body to recognize the virus is bad and evoke a immune response. When your body does this, it sends a bunch of monocytes to kill the infected cells. The spike proteins are eaten by the Classical Monocytes and SHOULD be destroyed inside of them, and then the monocyte will undergo apoptosis (die). This is working for the S2 protein, but not the S1. The S1 protein is being eaten by Classical Monocytes, but it is making the Monocytes change into Intermediate, and Non-Classical monocytes, and the S1 protein is NOT BEING DESTROYED in them, so they are refusing to undergo apoptosis. A monocyte should only live for 1 day to 1 week, but the Non-Classical Monocytes with the S1 protein in them are not dying for up to 15 months or more. Dr. Bruce Patterson is leading the research on this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n9spx-4opMI
So, even after your body has killed off COVID-19 inside of you, you have a bunch of monocytes presenting… Read more »
Here are some actual FACTS about the vaccine and COVID-19 with sources. Save the post, save your loved ones.
COVID-19 is a virus that contains two spike proteins, S1 and S2. The virus itself does some harm, which is different than than the damage the spike proteins do.
So, lets talk about the virus first. The virus functions similar to malaria mechanical function inside the blood. It rips the hemes off of your hemoglobin, making your blood not be able to transport oxygen to your organs. This is why COVID causes organ failure, and low oxygen levels. This is also why Hydroxychloroquine works against it, it prevents your hemes from being torn off your hemoglobin. When your hemoglobin is ripped apart, you end up with free floating hemes that are toxic as well as radical Iron particles in your blood that your liver must remove, and when your liver gets overloaded, it is processed in the lungs, resulting in lungs becoming inflamed and filled with fluid. This is also why ventilators don’t work, people are breathing fine, they are low on oxygen because they are low on hemoglobin, and no amount of mechanical breathing can increase the amount of oxygen… Read more »
It’s now abundantly clear that vaccines will not stop the spread, or even (as Israel is now proving) particularly reduce mortality. Australia is completely and utterly fucked – it’s hard to exaggerate how badly this will go for them. New Zealand will have to accept its fate soon enough, but at least they haven’t done this to themselves (yet).

What the hell will it take people to start asking the simple question, ‘is this a proportionate response’?
Are people happy to see the army enforcing this in such a way?
In other news, Sky News Australia, one of the best anti-covid broadcasters has been suspended on YouTube https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-australia-58045787
Who are YouTube to decide this?
I’ve written to my local MP, who has voted against most of this nonsense, but, sadly I expect only the standard respose!
You can’t ask the question “is it a proportional response” because the assertion that covid isn’t dangerous for the majority of people is censored and is very difficult to air publicly.
If you can’t question how much of a risk the disease poses, you can’t question the measures.
I guess we are lucky we dodged the zero covid bullet.
I think we need a better name than ‘Covid’ or ‘SARS-CoV-2’ that captures the induced hysterical hypochondria.

Branch Covidian Communist Doomsday Cultism
My friends in Australia are the worst sort of bedwetters regarding Covid, much of it derived from the incessant propaganda they are subjected to. I remember back in January receiving a call from them, how they were ‘gobsmacked’ with what was going on here and asking me if I was Ok and I must be terrified out of my skin? I just laughed and for the first time I realised that they were gone. On a few occasions they were boasting about how things were open and how well the government had done to ‘eliminate’ Covid in Australia, and I would retort by saying the policy was mad and they would be in lockdowns come your winter time because this is never about a virus. They have bitterly defended the insane policies of confining everyone to their homes for a handful of ‘cases’ despite virtually zero hospitalisations and even less deaths. But I noticed it was starting to wear thin over the last few calls and they too were getting annoyed at being under house arrest because someone 200 miles away sneezed. Now they don’t even want to talk about it or they slag off the government. Perhaps it’s dawning… Read more »
Only taken 16 months but better late than never.
I’m not so sure, they’re the type that when the psyops moves onto blaming extended restrictions on the unvaccinated that they’ll fall for that than contemplating the obvious.
I see it here with friends. Just when you think they’ve got it, understood the real motives, they go and read a headline in the Daily Mail, and suddenly that is more informative than any statistic, than any consideration for the profit motives of Big Pharma, than any motives for the Green agenda or any for Big Tech. All of that is duly rejected out of hand. It’s like pushing water up hill.
Ive had the same. People who knew it was a lie but then accept the lies ,take the vaccines, say how odd it all is, moan about the gov and then blindly follow all the ridiculous rules. All of them are living in delusion.
Of course, it’s the headlines you know.
But I don’t know why so many are complcaent about big pharma. I’ve read a lot of papers over the years, and there have been enough stories about corruption in the pharmaceutical industry.
I have absolutely no sympathy for any of the smug Australians who thought their country was being very clever.
Or for people who took a jab because they just wanted to be able to travel and get on with their lives but may now be wondering whether it was worth it because it isn’t giving them the benefits they expected.
Australia has gone absolutely doolally … I know of someone who emigrated there about six years ago with his Australian girlfriend (Sydney strangely enough) – I wouldn’t say he was a friend just someone I got to know through the local cycling fraternity – he was a very fit looking outdoorsy sort of person so he was looking forward to the doing all the outdoor activities over there – he said to me once that he can’t bare the thought of being cooped up the house all day long – too stressful to even think about – said he would go completely loopy and probably be on anti-depressants if he couldn’t go out anymore – so i can imagine these draconian lockdowns in Australia would be affecting his mental health right now thats for sure.
When I read about Australia turning itself into one big totalitarian concentration camp I often think of him and how he is getting along … not very well I should imagine poor bloke..
Well, that’s ‘Zero Covid’ for you – Zero civil liberties, zero democracy and zero opposition, especially from the ‘woke’ left. The left (my old left) would once have gone absolutely ape over khaki goons hitting the streets in what is de facto martial law. By all means welcome them when soldiers are mobilised to pitch in to help with floods and bushfires but to enforce draconian and pointless rules against the citizenry is really something a genuine left should have been up in arms about … but today’s woke left (including the ABC, the Aussie version of the BBC) are all in favour because, well it is Covid, after all and people should wear a mask because Covid is the plague of the century. The amount of ignorance and obedience to authority out there amongst the left, and the broader public, has been a real eye-opener. And a profoundly disturbing one.

Yes, Phil, our hearts are with you, the Human Australian. Australia needs you, the world needs you, we need you.
I had a quick look at The Sydney Morning Herald and was stunned by the lack of criticism of the appalling Government overreach.
I travelled extensively in Australia throughout the 1990’s. I can’t believe the people I met then; robust, independent and spirited, could tolerate this. It sounds like a different country.
Ah, Covid, the political bug. Why is the left supporting the corrupt and blood soaked big pharmaceutical companies anyway? they might as well have supported the 19th century mill owners who treated employees like slaves (and I remember from history lessons that there was concern about “white slavery” in the 19th century).
They are supporting communism.
