Cry "Freedom"
Our parents toil'd to make a home –
Hard grubbin 'twas an' clearin' –
They wasn't crowded much with lords
When they was pioneering.
But now that we have made the land
A garden full of promise,
Old Greed must crook 'is dirty hand
And come ter take it from us.
So we must fly a rebel flag,
As others did before us,
And we must sing a rebel song
And join in rebel chorus.
We'll make the tyrants feel the sting
O' those that they would throttle;
They needn't say the fault is ours
If blood should stain the wattle!
- Henry Lawson (Freedom on the Wallaby)
If you work with your hands for your livelihood
Some day you might have to choose
When the class war rages on the factory floor
If you don't fight you lose
- Redgum (Killing Floor)
At this point in time, I think it is fair to say we have a war on our hands. By “we”, I mean true libertarians around the globe that value personal freedom to live our lives in health and prosperity, without the interference of unreasonable, perhaps sinister government diktats.
Using the trojan horse of “Covid19”, civil liberties have been and continue to be swept aside, destroying the livelihoods of millions, denying others essential healthcare, exacerbating mental illness and suicides, and crippling the economies of countries globally. Heartrending stories abound as testimony to the cruelty and downright irrationality of the “protective” measures.
Now, some may think I am judging unfairly here. After all, we are allegedly in the “grip” of a pandemic. Indeed, it could not have been so named, if the WHO hadn’t changed the definition 12 years ago. Qualified experts have been coming forward for months to sound the alarm on the pseudo-science driving the “justification” for harmful lockdowns, mask wearing mandates, the harm to children, the efficacy of the PCR tests, and now even CDC Now Admits No ‘Gold Standard’ of COVID19 Virus Isolate exists.
And now this. (PDFs of official responses)
Despite all this, governments around the world have obtusely ignored this, and continued on their heinous path. Most recently the UK parliament voted 516 to 38 for another lockdown, citing the forecast impact on the NHS. However, Fraser Nelson from the Spectator reports the NHS was not under strain last time, and laments:
I’m no NHS cheerleader and have plenty concerns about how it is run. But Matt Hancock is right to say that it was never overwhelmed by Covid. It coped as better than anyone could expect with the virus: the NHS staff deserved their praise. The real scandal is the collapse in non-Covid healthcare at a time when hospitals and A&E wards were not deluged or overrun but half-empty. What happened to the people who would otherwise have been treated? What's happening to them now? This is a question that deserves a lot more attention.
A healthcare whistle-blower, Shelley Tasker, has also come forward saying:
“We no longer have health care, we can't see dentists. I can tell you now when I was working at the height of the pandemic I had no work for three weeks because there were no patients. We have a particular Covid ward. None of the wards were overflowing with Covid patients and they're not now.”
So, it is hard to escape the conclusion we are being lied to. About the pressure on the NHS. The need for the authoritarian measures, or even the “virus” itself.
Lord Sumption, ex - Supreme Court Justice (2012-2018) in his address to the Cambridge Law Faculty, “Government by Decree”. reminded us:
In Britain, the lockdown was followed by a brief period in which the government’s approval ratings were sky-high. This is how freedom dies. When societies lose their liberty,it is not usually because some despot has crushed it under his boot. It is because people voluntarily surrendered their liberty out of fear of some external threat. Historically, fear has always been the most potent instrument of the authoritarian state. This is what we are witnessing today.But the fault is not just in our government. It is in ourselves. Fear provokes strident demands for abrasive action, much of which is unhelpful or damaging. It promotes intolerant conformism. It encourages abuse directed against anyone who steps out of line, including many responsible opponents of this government’s measures and some notable scientists who have questioned their empirical basis. These are the authentic ingredients of a totalitarian society
Recent protests against further lockdowns have been met with violence by the police as seen in Liverpool.
Lord Sumption notes in relation to abuse of police powers:
“Derbyshire police notoriously sent up surveillance drones and published on the internet a film clip denouncing people taking exercise in the Derbyshire fells, something which peoplewere absolutely entitled to do. When I ventured to criticise them in a BBC interview for acting beyond their powers, I received a letter from the Derbyshire Police Commissioner objecting to my remarks on the ground that in a crisis such things were necessary. The implication was that in a crisis the police were entitled to do whatever they thought fit, without being unduly concerned about their legal powers.That is my definition of a police state.
Many people think that in an emergency public authorities should be free to behave in this way because the ordinary processes of lawmaking are too deliberate and slow. I do not share this view. I believe that in the long run the principles on which we are governed matter more than the way that we deal with any particular crisis. They are particularly important in a country like ours in which many basic rights and liberties depend on convention. They depend on a recognition not just that the government must act within its powers, but that not everything that a government is legally entitled to do is legitimate.”
So even one of Britain’s great legal minds agrees, the situation is not only undesirable in a democratic union, but unprecedented and most concerning.
Why, one might ask, would governments globally embark on such a path of destruction, taking a scythe to civil liberties if the situation is not desperate?
It has been opined lately that capitalism is in crisis. Indeed, it has failed to meet any of the utopian promises made in the 1980’s when we we told that “greed was good”.
John Bellamy Foster for the Monthly review provided a good overview of where capitalism was at in February 2019, noting:
Today, in the context of accelerated climate change, continuing economic stagnation, political upheaval, and growing geopolitical instability, it is clear that the challenges that the world is facing will be both more cataclysmic and epoch-making than progressive ecological modernizers like Randers envisioned. The choices confronting us are now much harder.
Indeed, history has been unkind to all such attempts to provide detailed forecasts of the future, particularly if they simply extend current trends and leave the bulk of humanity and their struggles out of the picture. It is for this reason that a dialectical view is so important. The actual course of history can never be predicted. The only thing certain about historical change is the existence of the struggles that drive it forward and that guarantee its discontinuous character. Both implosions and explosions inevitably materialize, rendering the world for new generations different than that of the old. History points to numerous social systems that have reached the limits of their ability to adapt their social relations to allow for the rational and sustainable use of developing productive forces. Hence, the human past is dotted by periods of regression, followed by revolutionary accelerations that sweep all before them. As the conservative historian Jacob Burckhardt declared in the nineteenth century, “a historical crisis” occurs when “a crisis in the whole state of things is produced, involving whole epochs and all or many peoples of the same civilization.… The historical process is suddenly accelerated in terrifying fashion. Developments which otherwise take centuries seem to flit by like phantoms in months or weeks, and are fulfilled.” He called this the “acceleration of historical processes.”
There are some, however who have been formulating a capitalist response to just such an extingency; the World Economic Forum. This is all outlined on a slick, corporate website in a section on “The Great Reset”. Covid19 is clearly the catalyst for the reforms they desire. It has been the answer to their prayers.
Whilst this has all been presented as not only inevitable, and desirable, some have their doubts and not without good reason.

'The tentacles of dispossession triggered by Klaus Schwab’s 'Great Reset' are rapidly encircling the globe" - @Philly852 https://t.co/uE0d4EHhnQLike any corporate PR exercise, this is all being presented as beneficial, but Vandana Shiva spoke out recently:
Shiva commented: “We have seen the Green Revolution and the industrial agriculture model fail, wiping out forests, transforming the land into a monoculture, causing pollution and illness, destroying natural resources and livelihoods. And it is now a major contributor of climate change and species and biodiversity extinction.
“In spite of this, while we are looking at better ways to farm, Gates has pushed the Green Revolution in Africa. He seems too impatient to look at the complexity of the natural world and biodiversity. He’s taking control of the worlds’ seed banks, pushing failed GMOs that we had rejected in India to other countries, taking control of gene traits through gene editing, trying to control the climate through geoengineering, and driving extinction through gene drives”.
So, control of the population, control of the food supply, and the Covid19 diktat for less human interaction and desirability for more mechanized delivery systems (because humans are diseased) means that increasingly, humans will be displaced and made obsolete in many areas. This is of course, the intention.
In a December 2017 video Academy of Ideas explore the theses of George Orwell, author of “1984” and Aldous Huxley, author of “Brave New World”. Sound familiar?
“Oligarchical collectivism is a system in which an elite few, under the guise of a certain collectivist ideology, centralize power using force and deception. Once in power, these oligarchs crushed not only the economic freedoms of their citizens, a move which socialist’s like Orwell favoured, but also their civil liberties.”
This may all sound very bleak, but it isn’t so. Mostly, our politicians and leaders are also silent, except for inserting Great Reset sloganeering like, “build back better”, and “new normal” into their speeches and press releases. But outspoken, and much maligned Australian One Nation party leader and Queensland Senator, Pauline Hanson did introduce a motion to the Australian Senate. It was rejected. But it’s a start.
Pauline Hanson 🇦🇺 @PaulineHansonOz
MEDIA RELEASE | Pauline Hanson urges Government to reject "The Great Reset" @OneNationAusleader Pauline Hanson has warned of devastating consequences if Australia adopts the World Economic Forum’s plans for a “Great Reset”. LINK: https://t.co/s2bZijALfQ https://t.co/h0XrhADZsKThe fact that any mainstream politician has gone public on this is promising. Those who do, should be supported with evidence, and rational debate against detractors. This is not a fight we can lose. To much is at stake, for too many of us. Even those who think their wealth and position will protect them, may well have another think coming. This is not only a class war, but a war on humanity, waged with the intention of subjugation and redundancy.
We can and we will fight this, using a holistic approach, combining creativity with human ingenuity. There are many noble people of integrity, who are even now coming forward to denounce the myths, and legal challenges are being launched, most notably by German barrister Dr Reiner Fuellmich. More will follow. We will resist the Dark Agenda, and we will walk in the Light, and we will look our children in the eye, with a clear conscience.
Peace and Love.
