The link is to a new documentary about the battle to combat the Andrew's governments attempt to subvert democracy using the Chinese virus as an excuse.

Unfortunately, the people who should watch it, won't.

These type of summaries help to crystallise trends that develop over weeks and months. This one shows how liberties are anxiously surrendered by a frightened populace...a people frightened for no good reason but manipulated by an alliance between authoritarian government and media.

Liberties were surrendered in the futile pursuit of so-called covid-zero. Yet when it became clear to even the most clueless of observers that covid-zero was and always had been a mirage, the liberties remained surrendered. Whatismore, the authoritarian government and their media cheer-squad pivoted virtually overnight to memory-hole the covid-zero hype while continuing to suppress any dissent.

As a student of Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia, it has always fascinated me as to how relatively easily populations could be led into , or even anxious run toward, slavery and serfdom. I wondered what was special about those peoples that they were so easily deceived and subjugated.

But after witnessing the hysteria and anxious surrender of liberties that occurred all over Australia but especially in Victoria, it is clear that a population sufficiently frightened by misinformation will always seek to trade freedom for safety....end end up with neither.

I think that democracy is currently over the brink. Democracy could still be recoverable if Australians were not still saying things like, 'Yeah, I know things are bad, but we are still better of than other countries', and, 'Australia is still the best country in the world'. That BS is just evidence that Australians have their heads stuck up their bums.

Australia is no better than any other country in the Anglosphere. Australians have proved that the 'bronzed Anzac, irreverent, anti-authority spirit' no longer exists. We are pooing ourselves over the climate change scam and the Covid-induced authoritarianism of politicians and unelected bureaucrats and judges.

The few people with the courage to kick against the 'new order' are branded as undesirables by the 80% gutless, who are now dobbers, copper's narks, and slaves to the political class that is supposed to serve us, not rule us.

No, we are over the brink, not on it, and the bottom is coming up at us fast.

Well, nobody wished for COVID, nobody wants it, but one good thing seems to have come out of it: it started cracking the federation called "Commonwealth of Australia", reminding people that when push comes to shove, their state/territory is on its own.

Hopefully if this process continues and states/territories become fully independent, then this will allow healthy competition between the states over both safety and freedom, where people will vote with their feet to live in the place that best fits their aspirations. It seems that Andrews will find himself ruling over a concrete desert.

Dear Individual,

I cannot properly respond to your reply because I have no idea what you mean by the word 'Woke'.

Regardless, I can't see how a nation can be destroyed any more than a wraith can, since that is a fictive creature, an element of propaganda that never existed in reality to begin with.
