It would be interesting to know the the reactions to the police state idea of respondents to a survey, the results of which were released today.

70%-80% of respondents were not concerned with the China virus, but with the heavy handedness that is causing them anxiety and depression from isolation, loss of jobs and businesses or the prospective loss of jobs or businesses. Use of alcohol exceeded normal use in 70% of respondents.

Psychological problems are not big with once-were-doctors public servants advising the government. They still have their big-buck jobs.

"What I don't understand, AC, is your ongoing defense of China, the biggest threat to Australia and the world."

I'm not defending China any more than standing up for what (I believe) is right.
I'm not convinced China is responsible for the virus first observed in Wuhan, though I don't doubt they played it down and tried to cover it up.

Until more facts come to light I don't want to attribute blame to China any more than the US who funded these bat virus studies.

I think it's more likely it came from a lab rather than from nature, to that end I'm not sure which party it was, or whether accidental or on purpose.

I try to stick up for what is right and I'll give you an example:
Yesterday Frydenberg came out and went nuts about WHO not shutting down Chinese wet markets.

I don't particularly approve of wet markets, I think they should be more sanitary and I'm glad we have health standards and regulations here in Australia.

That doesn't mean I agree with Frydenberg though.
I don't agree with foreign countries or global governance organisations dictating how individual nations should operate.
If you believe in democracy it's up the the Chinese to decide for themselves if they want wet markets and its not for anyone else to dictate how they should live.
We can encourage them to lift health standards and choose not to buy their goods, but we don't tell them how to live or restrict them from selling their goods.

I don't support Koreans eating dogs, but I'm don't think I have the right to impose what I believe upon them.

"Do you agree with Zimmermann's claim or do you not? Are we in danger of becoming a police state?"

Damn right we are, and that was before the Coronavirus.
Global pandemic is like Christmas to the globalists.
This gives them an easy path to forward all the agendas they struggled to push forward previously.
The march to global totalitarianism is a slow process.
This helps them move their agendas forward much faster.

certainly agree with you on this Armchair. The magic 'vaccine' is likely to be the control point. NO doubt you think this global elite is largely made up of Jews? That is where we will probably disagree.

The Clintons, Soros (who is Jewish), Gates are all who you could not trust in any shape or form. The overpopulation dogma they have been pushing for decades is completely flawed. You could not also trust anyone or organisation that claims to value human life but allows the unborn babies to be slaughtered. It is pure evil.

This helps them move their agendas forward much faster.
Armchair Critic,
How do you conquer a Nation in this Century ? You send your young people there to study & learn all about the mentality of the average citizen by flashing Dollars in front of them & presto, you're in !

thanks for adding to the dumbing down of our generation. Congratulations.

David Flint agrees, describing Australia now as a "grossly indebted, authoritarian and misgoverned polity". Authoritarianism is everywhere; it's as if some dictator, Mussolini, Mao or Xi Jinping is Government House, he writes.
