More on Australia’s China Virus Concentration Camps

‘It’s Inhumane What They’re Doing’: Australian Woman Details Her Experience Inside COVID Camp | The Daily Wire

Now, 26-year-old Hayley Hodgson recently detailed her experience being taken by authorities into the Howard detainment camp, a 2,000 person facility. Hodgson did not even have COVID-19.

Hodgson told UnHeard News that police came to her door and asked if she had a covid test. Hodgson admits she lied and said she had. Here is what happened next, according to Hodgson’s interview with UnHeard News.

“So then the police officers blocked my driveway,” she says.

“I walked out and I said, ‘What’s going on, are you guys testing me for COVID? What’s happening?” They said, ‘No, you’re getting taken away. And you have no choice. You’re going to Howard Springs. You either come with us now, and we’ll put you in the back of the divvy van. Or you can have a choice to get a ‘COVID cab’… I just said, ‘I don’t consent to this. I don’t understand why I can’t just self-isolate at home, like a lot of other people are doing.’ And they just said, ‘We’ve just been told from higher up where to take you. And that’s all that there is.'”

This is just frightening. They’re just rounding up people and herding them off to the concentration camps.

These Are Human Rights Abuses in Australia

Three Teenagers Who Tested Negative For COVID Arrested In Australia For Leaving Quarantine | The Daily Wire

They never had the China Virus. They tested negative. Yet they were still in one of Australia’s China Virus Concentration Camps.

They escaped, and then there was a nationwide manhunt for them.

Three teenagers were arrested in Australia after climbing a fence to escape a COVID-19 quarantine compound in the middle of the night.

The teens – aged 15, 16, and 17 – had all tested negative for COVID-19 but were being quarantined because they were close contacts of people who had tested positive. They were being held in a COVID-19 quarantine facility in Howard Springs, just outside Northern Territory capital city Darwin, Australia news outlet ABC reported.

At a press conference on Thursday, local time, NT Police Commissioner Jamie Chalker said the teens were found just outside Palmerston and had been arrested after police chased them on foot. At the time, NT Chief Minister Michael Gunner said the teens had not had any contact with members of the community.

Why didn’t someone stop and think, “OMG, why are we doing this? This is insane! These people have done nothing wrong, and we’re hunting them down like rabid dogs!”

I’m tired of “virus fever”. And if you have it, I’m tired of you. You can take you panic and hide in a hole with it, but leave me alone.

I’m for the Escapees on This One

Widespread Manhunt Underway For Three Men, Possibly Aborigines, Who Escaped Australian Involuntary Quarantine Camp - Video - The Last Refuge (theconservativetreehouse.com)

The fact that Australia has Quarantine Concentration Camps is just reprehensible, so happy to hear about any escapees. Doubt they’ll enjoy life on the run though.

The events here are priceless, and weird, and just, well, nuts.  Last week people were stunned to discover the Chief Premier of Australia’s Northern Territory, Michael Gunner, had triggered an operation using the military to round up Aboriginal tribes and place them into a COVID quarantine facility called Howard Springs.

Premier Gunner became furious at people who questioned his decision and said the native Australians wanted to be in the camp. {Go Deep}  Well, early this morning three men scaled the wall in the Howard Springs quarantine camp and escaped.  Police are right now conducting a widespread manhunt for the escapees, all of whom tested negative for the virus.

The Darwin police are using helicopters, roadblocks and are conducting vehicle searches in order to recapture the men who Michael Gunner said “wanted to be in” the detainment and quarantine facility.  Something ain’t adding up.

One of the Other Tenets of Free Speech Is That It Can Remain Anonymous

Social media firms will be forced to unmask online trolls, says Australia (bitdefender.com)

Apparently that’s not important to Australia.

The Prime Minister of Australia has said his government will introduce legislation which will compel social media companies to "unmask anonymous online trolls," and allow victims to launch defamation proceedings.

Morrison, who is readying himself for a general election next year, says that his legislative reforms will give victims of defamatory online comments two ways to identify their abusers, and resolve disputes:

  1. Global social media platforms will be required to establish a quick, simple and standardised complaints system that ensures defamatory remarks can be removed and trolls identified with their consent.
  2. A new Federal Court order will be established that requires social media giants to disclose identifying details of trolls to victims, without consent, which will then enable a defamation case to be lodged.

For the record, you don’t have my consent. And if I ever get back on Social Media, it will be through an anonymous account, and I’ll be hooked in through so many VPN’s that you’ll never find me.

Australia is becoming a fascist state.

Fascism Has Fully Taken Hold in Australia

Australian Army Begins Transferring COVID-Positive Cases, Contacts To Quarantine Camps | ZeroHedge

This is extremely scary.

The Australian army has begun forcibly removing residents in the Northern Territories to the Howard Springs quarantine camp located in Darwin, after nine new Covid-19 cases were identified in the community of Binjari. The move comes after hard lockdowns were instituted in the communities of both Binjari and nearby Rockhole on Saturday night.

"Residents of Binjari and Rockhole no longer have the five reasons to leave their homes," said Northern Territory chief minister, Michael Gunner, referring to the country's five allowable reasons to avoid lockdown (buying food and supplies, exercising for up to two hours, care or caregiving, work or education if it can't be done from home, and to get vaccinated at the nearest possible location).

There’s just nothing good to say about this at all. If you live in Australia, move out. If you don’t live there, don’t move there, don’t travel there. Don’t even buy anything that was made there.

People Are Finally Starting to Rise up Against These Authoritarians

Maybe we’ve finally had enough.

I know that I have.

Thousands protest against COVID-19 bill in Melbourne, Australia | One America News Network (oann.com)

Thousands took to the streets of Melbourne, Australia to protest the city’s COVID restrictions.

Demonstrators marched through downtown Melbourne on Saturday, expressing their outrage over a proposed bill which would expand the state’s emergency powers. The proposed “Pandemic Management Bill 2021” would give Victoria leadership more powers, including the ability to declare a pandemic and impose further travel restrictions and mask mandates.

Opponents of the bill question the science behind the law, asserting the lockdowns have had major affects on young people.

“These past two years have been pure hell for our families. The isolation, segregation and breaking of the family unit needs to desist,” announced one activist to the crowd. “What are the true statistics on our children and young mental health? I would love it if they would report the increase of the suicide rates amongst our young people.”

I can’t argue with any of that. I feel the last two years have been absolutely terrible for my children. I don’t know if they’ll ever be whole again. It makes me sad every day.

Ok, It’s a Brutal Cartoon, but Political Satire Is Often Brutal

Australian cartoonist fired for vaccine mandate cartoon (reclaimthenet.org)

What’s the cartoon?

Well, remember this famous picture from Tiananmen Square?

He used the same imagery to protest vaccine mandates.

Ouch.

A Melbourne-based newspaper, The Age, fired a political cartoonist after he compared COVID-19 vaccine mandates to the Tiananmen Square tanks threatening “Tank Man.”

Michael Leunig, a cartoonist referred to as a “living national treasure,” lost his role after he posted the cartoon. He included a drawing of a man staring at a large injection (vaccine) alongside a widely used photo from the Tiananmen pro-democracy protests of 1989 where a man is staring at a tanker.

The newspaper rejected the cartoon. Leunig proceeded to post the cartoon on his Instagram, drawing a lot of criticism from those who support vaccine mandates.

So wait.

He was fired by the newspaper for posting the cartoon on his personal Instagram account.

Umm…no.

Sorry, but…no.

Freedom of speech, anyone? Hello?

Ugh. The world is becoming an awful place.

Who Had Internment Camps Next for Australia?

Government Official: Quarantine Camps Needed For Unvaccinated, Issues Final Warning [VIDEO] (lifezette.com)

Well, this is kind of frightening. Are the ovens next?

I’ll have to check on it, but I’m pretty sure that locking people up is the complete opposite of what the word “Freedom” means.

For Once I’m on CNN’s Side

CNN to stop posting on Facebook in Australia after outlets are forced to be liable for reader comments (reclaimthenet.org)

Normally, anything that’s bad for Facebook is fine by me. But people and businesses should be free to say what they wish without being held liable for what some other idiot thinks about what they said.

After Australia’s top court ruled earlier this month that publishers were legally responsible for comments made below stories, CNN is becoming the first major news organization to stop posting on Facebook.

If more local and foreign news organizations follow suit, the decision could have significant repercussions for Australians’ access to news information on their social media feeds.

Defamation attorneys accuse Australia of failing to keep up with technological advancements and point to the United States and the United Kingdom, where the law primarily protects publications from being sued for the remarks of their users. The decision has drawn widespread condemnation.

If enough companies follow suit, that might exert enough pressure on the Australian courts to revisit this decision.

One can only hope.

Thank God, this isn’t Biden’s America. Yet.

Un-Vaccinated People Are Being Treated Worse Than Violent Felons

Unvaccinated Australians Will ‘Lose Freedoms’ Even After Lockdown Ends, Deputy Premier Says | The Daily Wire

“Residents there will be forced to wear masks outdoors and to stay within five km (three miles) of their homes. With even tighter restrictions set to begin on Friday, New South Wales Police said it had asked for 300 military personnel to help enforce lockdown orders,” Reuters reported at the time.

Two words: police state.

This Makes Me Cry

Rescue dogs shot dead by Bourke Shire Council due to COVID-19 restrictions (smh.com.au)

Several impounded dogs due to be rescued by a shelter have instead been shot dead by a rural council in NSW under its interpretation of COVID-19 restrictions, alarming animal activists and prompting a government probe.

Bourke Shire Council, in the state’s north-west, killed the dogs to prevent volunteers at a Cobar-based animal shelter from travelling to pick up the animals last week, according to council’s watchdog, the Office of Local Government.

Do you get that? They were so fearful of the China Virus, that they killed the rescue dogs. They didn’t want people who might catch the China Virus or be carriers of it to travel to come get the dogs.

This is horrible. How in Hell did we get here? Is there no way back? Is this what life is going to be like from here on out?
