A good (as far as I can tell) blog summary of ongoing covid panic resistance legal cases in Australia.
Covid legal proceedings in Australia
“The executive and legislative powers of government, as well as journalism, have been wiped out by the current mass psychosis called Covid. Will the judiciary re-inject some commonsense and humanity back into our society and halt the slow but steady slide into totalitarianism? This blog post deals with some major legal developments in Australia, starting in September 2021:
The Kassam/Henry Supreme Court cases
The Larter Supreme Court case
The Can Supreme Court case
The Hocroft Supreme Court case
The Naumenko Supreme Court case
The Kimber Fair Work Commission case
The initiating documents for all the Supreme Court cases are available here.”
The opinion of a professor of viral immunology as to the uselessness of the covid “vaccine” mandates, and the loathsome, punitive and discriminatory activities of the University of Guelph against dissenters against these outright evil mandates.
These are the crimes that are going on today, all over the world, as a result of the cowardice and thuggery of the covid panickers. Note that the sheer nastiness and pettiness of these actions, and their essentially voluntary nature on the part of the enforcers, from managers to doctors and healthcare workers to security staff and teachers, testifies to the fact that the problem is not of evil leadership alone (that, we could defy easily) so much as one of zealotry on the part of the middle and lower managers of coronapanic.
Prof Byram Bridle gives accounts from his own experience at the university (emphasis added):
“I have had to bear witness to numerous horrible situations for students and staff members. Students have been physically escorted off our campus, sometimes being removed from their residence, sometimes with their parents also being escorted off. Staff members have been escorted off campus and immediately sent home on indefinite leaves without pay, leaving them unable to adequately care for their families. In many of these situations it seemed like the interactions intentionally occurred in very public settings with it being made clear to all onlookers that the person or people were not vaccinated….Many faculty members refused to offer online learning options for those who did not wish to be vaccinated. On the flip side, there were also faculty members, like many students and staff, who are completely demoralised. This includes some who were happily vaccinated but are upset by the draconian measures of your covid 19 policies and who will be unwilling to receive future booster shots. I can tell you many stories of students and staff members who couldn’t resist the pressure to get vaccinated, because they were losing vast amounts of sleep and experiencing incredible anxiety, and were on the verge of mental and/or physical breakdowns. In some of these cases they were crying uncontrollably before, during and after their vaccination, which they only agreed to under great duress. This does not represent informed consent. I have had several members of our campus community contact me with concerns that they may have suffered vaccine-induced injuries, ranging from blood clots to chest pain, to vision problems, to unexpected and unusual vaginal bleeding. Can I prove these were due to the vaccine? No. But can anyone prove they were not? No. And it is notable that these were common events reported in adverse event reporting systems around the world. In all cases the attending physicians refused to report these events, even though it is supposed to be a current legal requirement to do so. These people obediently got vaccinated, and were then abandoned when they became cases that did not help sell the current public health messaging….I’ve been in meetings where faculty members demanded to know who the unvaccinated students will be in their classes so they can make them sit at the back of the classroom!”
What do the “vaccine” zealots think will be the reaction, medium to long term, of all those whose lives they so casually destroy to feed their own fanatical obsessions and fears?
The Tom Woods Show: Ep. 1982 Professor Leaves Vaccine Mandates in Shreds
If there’s one thing that the whole Fascist shitshow has made abundantly clear, it’s the evil that lurks in so many hearts, just awaiting a chance to get out. Civilisation exists to curb that evil and make its deployment unacceptable. When civilisation ceases to exist, the brake on evil is removed. When Fascism actively encourages and promotes the evil, restoring civilisation is impossible so long as the coward majority puts up no resistance.
Mail headline:
THE DAY THE INTERNET BROKE!
I never even noticed until I saw the headline.
Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp go DOWN worldwide for SIX hours in catastrophic outage as experts blame internal error, staff ‘are locked out of offices at California HQ’ and Zuckerberg loses $7bn
So not “the internet”, just some of its more noxious locales. Couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch of totalitarian bully-boys and corrupt, manipulating scumbags.

“BJ to ‘keep all options on the table’ to solve food and fuel shortages”.
I wonder what options those could be. Surely not yet another conspiracy theory coming true?
Rationing?
Priority for fuel to be given to “key workers”, for example?
Cuts down on people being on the road, thus reducing vehicle emissions, doesn’t it?
Gets you used to not being able to go anywhere much as well.
“Made men” Zil lanes for bureaucrats, then Zil lanes only for senior bureaucrats, then zil lanes for V~IP’s only.
Key workers like those hero care workers who are being done out of a job?
One might expect the gutter press to build up heroes in order to later throw them down, but it’s shocking when the government does it.
I’m becoming paranoid, last night I swear I detected the work of the nudge unit in the plot of Silent Witness, softening us up for investigation of deaths in care homes.
Probably so we accept it to be due to individual rogue medics rather than orders from above.
Conspiracy theory bingo……….
“Vote due in compulsory vaxxports in Wales”.
I see that Dr. Mike Yeadon has posted a number of interesting comments in the comments section on Israeli vaxxports from October 3rd, almost certainly missed by most people as they were posted a day and a half after the story went up (unless they were reposted elsewhere). This one in particular struck me:
“Mike Yeadon

Reply to Norman
Jan ‘21 was vaccine induced lethality, almost certainly”
*****************************************************************************************************
I have felt for a long time that the timescale is about right from when “vaccinations” started on December 8th (although I undrstand some people disagree), and I also consider it suspicious that the “vaccination” programme was timed to coincide with the annual peak in respiratory deaths, and that simmilar increases in deaths were obsetved elsewhere after the start of “vaccinations”, strikingly so in Gibraltar. With someone of Dr. Yeadon’s knowledge and experience to support this theory suggests to me that it is for those who dispute this theory to give convincing alternative explanations – and is certainly something that Dungford and the rest should consider in relation to vaxxports in Wales.
This is the link to the top of the comments, with his posts distributed all the way down:
Israelis Without Booster Jab Could Be Stripped of Vaccine Passports – The Daily Sceptic
He also posted this and several other posts in the “vaccine effectiveness hits minus 66%” comments, which also appear to have gone largely unnoticed:
“Mike Yeadon

Reply to RickH
Indeed, Team Kirsch’s analysis makes it plain that the vaccines kill more people than they save. Worse, they kill across all ages but save only a few who are months at most from death even in the absence of this virus.
There are 200 viruses capable of infecting humans & those near the end of their lives often die with or of such infections because of immuno senescence. It literally cannot to much helped. All of us will be fortunate to go out like that, being reasonable active for our advanced age one week yet dead a fortnight later. I should be so lucky.”

More for Dungford to consider?
“Insulate Britain founder would block an ambulance with a dying woman”.
I understand some people genuinely don’t value humans above worms (among other things).
Only if their own value is way below that of a worm.
What a wonderful human being he is. After watching his performance when interviewed by Andrew Neil, he revealed himself to be completely unhinged. He makes Greta sound balanced.
Insulate Britain and Extinction Rebellion are defacto controlled opposition outfits, with links to the Prime Minister’s father Stanley Johnson, who since the 60s in the UK and worldwide has been instrumental in promoting the climate change and global warming hoaxes which claim that CO2 is causing the destruction of the world, which is nonsense.
Here he is sporting his Extinction Rebellion colours at the recent G7 in Cornwall:
And here is a documentary proving Stanley Johnson’s decades long ties to the intelligence agencies and the climate change/gloabl warming hoaxes which are really just tools of control:

Later he was beaten up, and his companions unknowingly blocked his ambulance!
“Regime can rule with bread and circuses”.
I’ve had some of my best socialising for years since March 2020. They’re not going to control me, just make me despise them with their reckless attitude towards child “vaccinations” and all the rest of it.
ITEM: “New Zealand finally abandons ‘Covid zero’ strategy and eases lockdowns” – Jacinda Ardern is abandoning her draconian ‘Zero Covid’ strategy after admitting she cannot stop the spread of the Delta variant with harsh lockdown measures and aggressive contact tracing, reports MailOnline.
About bloody time! But is it a false dawn? Know who else in Zero Covid land has uttered the taboo phrase ‘learn to live with the virus’ and ‘treat it like we do the flu’? Her Oz neighbour, Australian Prime Minister, Scott Morrison; Victorian state Premier Dan Andrews; the dear departed leader Gladys Berejiklian (NSW state premier), Anastasia Palachuk (Queensland premier) and most other state premiers at some time or other. And yet, lockdowns grind on in Victoria and New South Wales, with Queensland permanently teetering on a lockdown edge.
In their hearts, the Zero Covidistas know that the campaign of elimination through lockdown, contact tracing, closed borders/quarantine and (non)vaccines is a total dud but they have backed themselves so far into a political corner that to acknowledge that all the pain has been in vain is beyond them.
‘Living with Covid’ is also far different in their minds than in sensible people’s (Old Normal) minds. Lockdowns will only end, says Ardern, when 90% are vaccinated, so expect vaccine coercion via a passport to ramp up and for the ill-health effects of the gene therapy to filter like a black stain through Kiwi society. What’s the betting that even if lockdown per se is scrapped, then contact-tracing and masks and venue capacity limits and perspex screens and all the other Covid theatre will still plague the land of the long white cloud.

ITEM: “The Revolution Will Not Be Televised” – Polish diplomats and politicos appear to raise the alarm at their embassy in Australia about Australia’s drift to authoritarianism, comparing its behaviour to North Korea.
Anyone would think that the Poles knew something about tyranny and authoritarianism from their history of being prime geo-political real-estate historically wedged between Nazism and Stalinism.
Well done, Herr Morrison, in raising Australia’s international profile so convincingly.
“Johnson to encourage a return to the workplace”. I’ve been hard at it, working from home, since March 2020. So have most of my colleagues. Those that have not been hard at it were probably not that productive while they were in the office either. Are there people doing very little, taking the piss? Of course there are. But much as I admire work ethic and believe in personal responsibility, the main blame for malingering lies with the bosses and the government.
Going into the office for the sake of it just seems like another form of virtue signalling to me. Of course there are advantages and disadvantages to workers and businesses with regards to home working, but the simplistic “office good, home bad” implication seems pretty inaccurate to me as a generalisation.
Some people enjoy/are suited to WFH, others despise the isolation and lack of socialising it creates. It is a slightly shortsighted view to wish for more WFH, as a senior executive once told me that if he could pay me to work from my bedroom he could most definitely pay somebody offshore to do the same thing. What he was so sweetly implying was that Labour costs in India, and such other countries, are dramatically lower.
His comments started an interesting conversation around pension funds in the UK, a large amount of who’s investments are in commercial office buildings and are paying people’s pensions today and for the foreseeable future, you should be aware that you could be working from home forever, quite literally.
I’m not sure I “wish for more” WFH. I think it has a part to play, and as I said, there are pros and cons. In general I think ideally staff should be able to choose within the constraints imposed by the needs of the firm. I don’t think the govt should interfere too much either way.
I’m not convinced about offshoring. A lot of that has already been done, and the taxation gets complicated unless you set up a subsidiary firm overseas.
Actually, it hasn’t finished. I work for a company that loves to enlarge the offshore side every time they get a chance.
He needs to take this up with the Trade Unions not Joe Public! I would happily go back to the office but I am avoiding it because I want to go back to the old office! The new one sucks. We don’t even have masks and testing and it’s still shit with all the new restrictions.
Lots of Tory donors are rent-seeking land-bankers and the Carrieservative party is ruining their looting.
The problem is the confusion caused by the shit-show.
More flexible possibilities for work are clearly desirable; the automatic consideration of presence as a virtue is regressive and knee-jerk.
But the driving of WFH by a spurious motivation isn’t progressive ‘flexibility’. It becomes another gesture.
BBCliar’s article on Dungford’s Nazipapiere being voted on links to another article saying that they ‘will’ be introduced.
Well well.
Needless to say, no comments are allowed on either article.
The article on Trialsite News in the Round Up cites a study previously shared here by Ebygum. Here it is, sans pay wall:https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10654-021-00808-7
Oxford railway station on Sunday, a mother and her daughter, about 15, are on the platform. The platform is quiet and it’s a windy day, but the mother dutifully has her mask on. Her daughter is eating and her blue hospital-type mask is around her chin loosely. Suddenly her mask drops off and blows away rolling in the dirt on the platform. the girl chases the now dirty mask, picks it up and immediately puts it back on , pulling it tight across her face as they get on the train.
Says it all. doesn’t it?
Sounds like a Monty Python sketch.
I hope it didn’t come into contact with any discarded masks…
I’ve said it before, masking is a filthy habit.
talkRADIO
Former Brexit Secretary David Davis MP says the Government is using “covert coercion” to “bully young people” to get vaccinated.
https://twitter.com/talkRADIO/status/1445293021172469760
No shit, David?
Are we seeing some of the former liberty-defending “Conservatives” recovering from the covid funk they descended into last year, during which they’ve mostly been basically useless?
JHB: “As one of my guests earlier was pointing out … there’s no social distancing at this conference, barely anyone is wearing a mask, in fact people stand out for wearing a mask”
And yet this “Conservative” Party is run by people who are still pushing vaccine coercion and still pandering to covid fear propaganda. They “won’t take [vaccine passports] off the table”, and they will extend the emergency powers enabling act.
Davis:
“My view is, look if you want to persuade young people to get vaccinated, go out and spend lots of money on telling them…I actually agree with spending money here…I don’t care of you bribe them..”
This is how far our “Conservative” Party has fallen into the big government, paternalist, nanny state mentality – even the most “libertarian” fringe members of the Parliamentary party see no problem whatsoever with using taxpayers’ money to manipulate opinion and behaviour for the [supposed] greater good.
you don’t need to bribe them just remove the immunity from prosecution for jabbers…
It’s not very ‘covert’, is it? All of the coercion and bullying has been pretty transparent – and the government and NHS knows it’s transparent and openly revel in it.
The St Andrew’s university struggle-session article is easy to miss or dismiss, but it’s quite chilling.
It makes the point that students will simply do rote performative atonement for their sin of huWhiteness, but that is the point: if you can force someone to tell what they know is a lie, you establish dominance, and destroy their personal integrity.
One act of submission, of accepting that you have to prove your innocence, is all that it takes to turn a free man or adult-human-female into a serf.
I’m particularly thinking about social credit score apps (“vaxxports”) here.
Yes indeed; quite horrifying further descent into the abyss
One of our neighbour’s son (15 and built like an outside toilet) tested positive? for Covid, so had to stay at home for 10 days, never sneezed, coughed, or ran a temperature and spent all his time “gaming” on line with his mates who were in the same situation.
No doubt, multiplied all over the country.
The pingdemic still going on? Deary me! Anyone at that “Conservative” party conference come up with a proper exit strategy from all this then? I suppose they will still incongruously sing “mother of the free”…
