‘In this first part of our interview, Dr. John Littell, MD, from Florida, tells us about his experience with treating COVID-19, about his perspectives regarding vaccination, especially of children, and about the trends with COVID-19 policy, particularly in Florida. The second part of the interview focuses on the recently held Florida COVID Summit.’https://rumble.com/vox5e5-dr.-john-littell-md-interview-part-1.html?mref=6zof&mc=dgip3&utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=covexit.com+-+covid-19+news+%26+policy+analysis&ep=2
‘There were some fine words from the Prime Minister, Scott Morrison, this week when he spoke in Melbourne to a Victorian Chamber of Commerce event attended mainly by small business owners. Apparently there are still some left in that long-suffering city, home to the longest-lasting lockdowns in the world and easily the most draconian Covid restrictions in the Western world. After some typically Morrisonian ‘how good is Australia’ blather about getting your hair cut or meeting friends at the pub, he finally got to the point. ‘The taste of freedom,’ he announced; a sentence without a verb as if it were the title of a new book or movie. ‘It must never be taken from us again. That is why I put the national plan together. A plan based on the best possible medical science and economics to ensure we open safely and stay safely open. Australians have kept their side of this deal by getting vaccinated. Governments must now keep theirs and return to Australians their freedoms.’
Full marks for the sentiment. But the detail of his comments reveals the disappointing fact that our Prime Minister not only doesn’t understand the true concept of freedom, but worse, is trying to excuse and paper over the gaping black hole of genuine leadership that has engulfed the nation these last eighteen months.
Let’s start with the taste of freedom. Rather than being an ancient concept that millions of humans have died so that others may experience and cherish it, Mr Morrison instead sees freedom as akin to a new brand of Vegemite or a new Aussie beer (mid-strength, obviously). In the Morrison world view, freedom is as you-beaut-ripper as a Kingswood station wagon packed with the kids heading down to the coast for the summer hols (and about as irritating). Freedom is as convenient and as comfy as your favourite pair of tracksuit pants and thongs (and just as easily discarded).
Morrison’s ‘freedom’ is ‘part of who we are’, much in the same way that a burnt snag at a Bunnings sausage sizzle is.
And as such – and this is the disturbing bit – freedom is actually something the government manufactures, that the government owns and that the government will give you if you’ve been a good boy or a good girl. Indeed, in the Prime Minister’s mind, freedom is very much and very explicitly a bargaining chip. A token in a game of viral tiddlywinks. Freedom in exchange for being vaccinated.
That is a dangerous precedent. Freedom should be the inalienable right of every law-abiding Australian regardless of their health status. The Prime Minister, several months ago, claimed that the vaccines would not be mandatory. Although that may be technically correct in the most legalistic sense, the stark reality is that for the time being to all intents and purposes Covid vaccines are mandatory in Australia. Therefore the Prime Minister has broken his own word either through neglect or on purpose.
Depressingly, NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet has retreated on his own fine words that freedom was not a gift of any government, and now that he is in power has similarly using denial of freedoms and social isolation as forms of punishment by arbitrarily extending restrictions on the unvaccinated by a fortnight.
Then comes the prime ministerial non-sequitur, and it’s a real doozy. Mr Morrison claims that he put his much-prized ‘national plan’ together in order to ensure that our freedoms will ‘never be taken from us again’. That’s quite the claim! In fact, the self-stated purpose of the national plan was to ‘relink the states’ and ‘connect Australia to the world’. Nothing in there about ensuring our freedoms would ‘never be taken from us again’. In order to achieve that noble goal, the Prime Minister will have to do what he should have done last year when he was offered the chance (you only get one Clive Palmer in your lifetime) to challenge the Constitutional legality of closed borders. That would have been one crucial step towards guaranteeing the permanence and inalienability of individual freedoms. Another would be to legislate – as has been done by the Republican governor of Florida, Ron de Santis – to make it illegal under Australia’s human rights laws to discriminate against any Australian citizen within this country based on their vaccination status.
So – no, Prime Minister, your national plan was not designed to ensure that the taste of freedom will never be taken from us again. That might sound good in the research focus groups, but it is a lie. Australians, and in particular Australian businesses, have no guarantee that their freedoms won’t be ripped from them again the moment that, for example, a new variant of the virus should appear, or even a new virus pops out again from a bowl of bat soup or any other delicacy being conveniently served up adjacent to a Chinese bio-weapons lab, or the efficacy of vaccines wears off or, for whatever reason, the public decides against immunisation boosters or other such measures.
Having ignored freedom when we needed it the Prime Minister is now waving it around on the eve an election. Australians may currently have the illusion of ‘freedom’ but, like that family trip to the coast, we’re definitely not there yet.’https://spectator.com.au/2021/11/are-we-free-yet/?utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=MDS%20%2020211111%20%20SG&utm_content=MDS%20%2020211111%20%20SG+CID_f41c9caec8be7507b2ab2d14a2008fca&utm_source=CampaignMonitor_Australia&utm_term=Are%20we%20free%20yet
This China virus has allowed those elected officials who lean toward the CCP type of rule over the people to move further in that direction all under the guise of keeping the populace healthy and safe! This China virus along with the UN Climate Change Scam is heading the world toward that one world government!
Well, now ‘Authorised officers have raided a surgery in Melbourne, taking confidential patient documents pursuant of Covid health orders according to a rattled Melbourne doctor shocked by the experience.
Seven authorised officers were recorded on a Facebook livestream arriving outside the surgery in the Western suburbs at 1.15pm today after Dr Mark Hobart allegedly refused to surrender private patient information to Victorian health officers.
“I have just been invaded by seven authorised officers from the Department of Health and they have seized my confidential patient files and my appointment book and various other documents. They say they are going to give me an itemised list of what they’ve taken. And there was quite an intimidating experience. I think they’ve gone now…” said Dr Mark Hobart. “They just came here to seize files […] they all just came in and started walking around.”
Dr Hobart said that he was not served with any kind of warrant.
“This means that the government can go to any doctor and enter their premises and seize patient files for no reason. They haven’t given me any reason why they wanted to see my patients’ files,” added Dr Hobart.
A sign affixed to the inside of the surgery window reads:
‘The Victorian Government has banned patients from entering this surgery because Dr [Mark] Hobart refused to surrender your private and confidential patient files.’
Morgan C Jonas live-streamed part of the incident to Facebook.
“I was told by these people that there is no such thing as patient confidentiality under the news laws,” said Dr Hobart, when asked about the status of patient confidentiality.
The authorised officers were allegedly acting under the current Public Health and Wellbeing Act 2008, citing several sections to Dr Hobart while the files were being removed. Dr Hobart is not sure exactly what was taken. He had to hurriedly copy part of his appointment book, which was also confiscated.
Dr Hobart was also issued with a prohibition notice and told to cease training, meaning he is only allowed to speak with patients over the phone. He can no longer treat patients in the surgery or earn an income from his work.
One of the authorised officers interrogated the receptionist at the surgery, asking if she was fully vaccinated – she replied that she was.
“The doctor has to supply that to me. He [Mark Hobart] has to supply proof that you’re double-vaxxed or you’ve got an exemption,” said the authorised officer.
“I don’t feel comfortable with giving out people’s medical information,” replied Dr Hobart.
The staff were distressed at the Victorian government removing patient information without their knowledge. The authorised officers left with their arms full of private medical files.
They were asked if they would like to make a comment for the media, but the authorised officers did not reply.
Dr Mark Hobart is a family practitioner who has worked for three decades in the profession.’https://www.rebelnews.com/officers_raid_doctor_surgery_in_melbourne?utm_campaign=rb_11_10_2021&utm_medium=email&utm_source=therebel
Victoria, Australia is a left Marxist leaning Australian state controlled by Premier Dan Andrews. Now, a Victorian Correctional Officer is speaking out. Yes, ‘Gavin is putting his career on the line to SPEAK OUT!
He is willing to go all the way even though he has no idea what the future will hold, and how difficult it will be.
This is an inspirational interview we all need to see.’https://rumble.com/vow3n1-victorian-corrections-officer-speaks-out.html?mref=6zof&mc=dgip3&utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=reignitedemocracyaustralia&ep=2
How do I know Morrison’s on the election trail? He is now taking a stand, howbeit the wrong one! He is also now and only now really criticizing the Premiers for their handling of the China virus. So, the now climate change ‘Prime Minister Scott Morrison has taken a swipe at Premier Daniel Andrews over his “extreme” COVID-19 restrictions as he thanked millions of Melburnians for standing strong during the pandemic despite being the most locked down city in the world.
Mr Morrison was speaking at the Victorian Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Melbourne where he acknowledged Australia had done the “hard yards” but “especially” residents living in Victoria.
He said while the federal government provided relief with the JobKeeper and JobSeeker packages, it was small and medium-size businesses who were keeping the Victorian economy afloat and dealing with the “frustration of extreme lockdowns”.
“You’re (businesses) the ones who have kept Victorians in jobs. You’re the ones who’ve kept supply chains opened and connected,” he said on Wednesday morning.
“You’re the ones who have managed the heartache and the complexity and the frustration of extreme lockdowns and the restrictions and keeping your customers COVID-safe.”
Mr Morrison declared freedoms “must never be taken away from us again” as he was thriving seeing the “human faces of reopening” since arriving in Victoria.
“You see it in the smiles and on faces of small businesspeople,” he said.
“You see it in the hugs at the airports as families unite across geographies and generations.
“You see it in the really simple pleasures. Friends just catching up. Having a beer. Going to restaurants. Strolling around the shops. Getting a haircut.
“It (freedoms) must never be taken from us again.”
The Doherty Institute was also recognised for providing “home grown” advice for the National Plan in safely reopening borders around the country.
He doubled down on earlier comments made on freedoms, urging governments to “return freedoms” to Australians as they held their end of the deal by heeding calls from leaders to roll their sleeves up and get vaccinated.
“We’re not going back. Australians have kept their side of this deal by getting vaccinated,” he said.
“Governments right across the country must keep theirs and return to Australians their freedoms.”
Melbourne became the most locked down city anywhere in the world in October after being restricted to stay-at-home health orders for 262 days since the beginning of the pandemic in 2020.

Mr Morrison has been on a media and election campaign blitz in the state where he announced the future electric vehicle plan and $1 billion funding for Australian entrepreneurs to develop new technologies as part of the government’s bid to cut greenhouse emissions by 2050.
The Low Emissions Technology Commercialisation Fund will combine $500 million of new capital for the Clean Energy Finance Corporation, from the government, and $500 million from private sector investors.
The investment will target early stage technologies that have the potential to close the gap to net zero with venture capital investments – not grants or loans – in up and coming and innovative businesses to assist growth and scaling up.
Modernised solar panels, more efficient batteries, livestock supplements and underground storage could all be funded by the investment.’https://www.skynews.com.au/australia-news/coronavirus/scott-morrison-declares-freedoms-must-never-be-taken-from-australia-again-saying-victoria-has-done-the-hard-yards/news-story/f86c6b291c5f25ebd55b54baa798d87e?utm_source=SkyNews&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Editorial&utm_content=SN_DAILY_PM_01&net_sub_id=282058248&type=curated&position=1&overallPos=2
The two major parties do not deserve the vote of the conservative Australian!
Hey, Obama, that’s weather not climate!
By Craig Rucker ~
Barack Obama may have served as the 44th President of the United States, but he is just as wrong as anyone else who approaches global warming from deep roving left field.
“For those listening back home in the U.S., let me say this,” Obama told UN COP 26, “It doesn’t matter if you’re a Republican or a Democrat if your Florida house is flooded by rising seas, or your crops fail in the Dakotas or your California house is burning down.”
Sorry to inform you, Mister President, all those things are WEATHER, NOT CLIMATE. It doesn’t matter if you’re rich or poor, short or tall, crop production is setting records, California fires are historically normal, and sea level has risen at the same minuscule pace since before the industrial revolution.
“It’s not just that we can’t afford to go backward,” Obama said. “We can’t afford to…

‘Christendom College professor Matthew Tsakanakis endured a COVID nightmare that has left him questioning whether America remains a free country. “It woke me up to a new America that is not the America I knew when I was growing up, when we stood for fighting atheistic Marxism and we’re seeing it here in the United States as it is,” Tsakanikas told Jim Hale of LSNTV. The Professor of Theology stood alongside 19 COVID vaccine victims in front of the Supreme Court of the United States to protest the widespread conspiracy that is preventing COVID patients and vaccine victims from receiving the help they need. Tsakanikas makes an urgent appeal to all Americans to stand up for their God-given rights in this emotional interview.’https://rumble.com/vowivd-matthew-tsakanikas-christendom-college-professor.html?mref=6zof&mc=dgip3&utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=LifeSiteNews&ep=2
Me thinks the Marxist Left want high petrol prices. “We are helpless! HELPLESS! We are at the total mercy of OPEC! Such was the pathetic message of Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm to Dana Bash on CNN. Gone from her mind was any thought of (GASP!) American energy independence which was ACHIEVED by President Trump. Contrast in this video the utter helpless whining by Granholm to a speech by President Trump in June 2017 on the subject of energy INDEPENDENCE which he ACHIEVED. That is why we didn’t have to beg for mercy from OPEC because we did NOT have to depend on them which is the sad case now.”https://rumble.com/vowkm5-energy-secretary-granholm-whines-that-we-are-at-mercy-of-opec.html?mref=6zof&mc=dgip3&utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=DUmmie+FUnnies&ep=2
