‘A large crowd of rowdy students at the University of North Carolina Greensboro on Friday demanded the conservative Young Americans for Freedom chapter at the school be shut down after it posted a quote by Ben Shapiro on its Instagram page.
The post stated: “Men cannot become women. Women cannot become men. Men who believe they are women are not real women.” This is a quote by the firebrand pundit Shapiro who is known for his “facts don’t care about your feelings” mantra.
“On Wednesday, we decided to post a Ben Shapiro quote and tagged it #wednesdaywisdom — we didn’t think anything was going to come of it,” the group told The College Fix in a direct message Friday. “We just thought it would be a nice addition to our page.”
“Almost immediately we triggered the school’s leftists and they began to spread the post and spam comment personal attacks against us and our members.”
The Prime Minister, in Parliament, apologised personally to Brittany Higgins for the culture that contributed to what allegedly happened to her, and announced his government’s general acceptance of the Jenkins Report’s recommendations to reform toxic aspects of parliamentary culture. Grace Tame, meanwhile, again highlighted her true personal and blatantly partisan enmity by labelling Morrison’s statement a ‘stunt’. She and Higgins today will address the National Press Club, an address scheduled by the NPC (president, Laura Tingle) to do maximum political damage to Morrison, just as last week’s lynch mob did likewise.
ABC types are gloating at Morrison’s new funding plan for the ABC and SBS giving them substantial additional funding, and ending a four-year funding freeze. ABC chairman Ita Buttrose purred. The likes of Media Watch’s Paul Barry ungratefully say it’s a political fix that won’t shut them up – it is, and it won’t. But would you appease a perennially-misbehaving toddler by giving him an ice-cream as a reward for his selfish tantrums? That’s the principle being applied to the rent-seeking ABC management by the Morrison government, in a vain attempt to mollify its enemies who talk to its friends.
Perhaps even to his own surprise, Scott Morrison yesterday got his modified religious freedom legislation package through the Coalition party room, with embattled MPs maybe realising it’s better to hang together than hang separately. One Liberal MP, Tasmanian Bridget Archer, has signalled she’ll likely vote against it because it doesn’t have sufficient protections for her liking, but otherwise the bills’ fate is to be decided by the so-called ‘progressives’ in the Senate, rather than rebellious government MPs and senators
The late Christian Kerr put greater store on the Left-biased Essential poll in the Grauniad than Newspoll in the Australian. So take note, all those on the Left and Right who fervently wish the Morrison government gone: the Essential poll released yesterday shows Labor and the Coalition neck-and-neck on both primary and two-party preferred votes, with 8 per cent undecided. It also indicates summer’s voter anger with Morrison is cooling, with his satisfaction rating recovering from a recent low. For all Morrison and the government’s faults, is the game still afoot?’ This is from an Email from The Spectator Australia https://spectator.com.au/
There is only some FREEDOM if one follows the Marxist rules of the Western Australian government. Now ‘A mother and daughter were dragged out of their own restaurant in handcuffs, and in front of customers, for allegedly failing to comply with Western Australia’s Covid vaccination rules.
Topolinis Caffe co-owner Jodie Jardine, 51 and her daughter, 22, were taken away on Monday night after their family-run Italian restaurant in Perth’s north was approached by roughly a dozen police officers.
They were charged under the Emergency Management Act for allegedly working despite not being vaccinated.
Under WA’s mandatory jab requirements introduced on January 31, all hospitality workers in the state must be double dosed or face harsh fines and even jail time. About 93 per cent of people aged 12 and over are fully-vaccinated in the state.
Ms Jardine claimed that by not being vaccinated while on the job, she’s “standing up for the future of our children”.
The arrest came after a tense stand-off between police and staff on Monday night.
Eventually, the un-jabbed duo were arrested and led outside away by officers into awaiting cars.
Footage from independent media shows that, later in that night, the mother and daughter were dropped at the restaurant to the applause of an awaiting crowd.
“It’s a mother and daughter and we were in the cell,” Ms Jardine said.
What was a peaceful camp for freedom quickly turned violent when police came to issue infringement tickets for “illegally parked” vehicles.
Tension escalated when police entered the camp to record car registration details.
Officers had largely remained cooperative with the growing gathering of protesters, and with too many people to arrest and too many cars to tow away the police presence focused their attention on the “illegally parked cars” being the issue and informed campers that they would be recording the details of all vehicles on the grounds under the direction of the National Capital Authority (NCA).
Protesters were concerned and suspicious of police intentions after earlier cooperation with the police led to officers blocking cars from re-entering the grounds. Police mentioned that they may in coming days issue a move-on notice to the protesters, however, numbers continue to grow at the site with waves of the convoy still rolling into Canberra from across the nation.
When I talked to the Police media unit, I was informed that the camp was in fact illegal as NCA permits had not been issued for them to be there.
The police on the ground on patrol said that about a dozen officers would walk through the camp every hour for their safety.
Campers were concerned that the active police presence may escalate the situation and when police started blocking entry to the area, they were fearful that police would evict them from the area entirely.
“They’re saying it’s not the police that’s removing us, it’s the National Capital Authority … We have been trying to meet with them in person, the office is just across the road here, we went there, there’s no one there,” one camper said.
“They won’t return calls, and we’ve asked them to sit in a roundtable conversation with the traditional owner, myself, and the federal police, if we can sit down and talk about even getting a permit just for the time until the end of next week.”
Scenes turned violent when a scuffle broke out after a 65yo woman was tackled and arrested by police.
Police pepper-sprayed the crowd as the crowd sprang to her defence.
“There are women and children here,” said one witness on the scene.
“I saw an old lady getting dragged away, fellas getting stomped on the ground.“
“We were all prepared to take the infringement notices, without a problem, and we’ve been prepping everyone here to be really calm,” said another.
“It’s going to look really bad for you guys because what happened there was unacceptable“.
A man in his 80s identified as a war veteran was injured in the incident.
As he was carried away many from the camp embraced him for standing up to the police.
‘Very concerning news for the vaccinated: Looks like the Omicron mRNA booster doesn’t work against Omicron
In animal tests, it actually produced FEWER antibodies to both Omicron and the original virus than a third shot of the original Moderna vaccine.
The researchers said it, not me:
“An Omicron boost may not provide greater immunity or protection compared to a boost with the current mRNA-1273 vaccine.”
Which wouldn’t matter if the “current mRNA-1273 vaccine” actually worked against Omicron.
How many Hail Marys to repent for Original Antigenic Sin?
No joke, though, this is seriously worrisome as it implies that if the Omicron experience is any guide, mRNA vaccinated people will be exposed to infection from future variants going forward, unless their own immunity kicks in.
‘We have seen the erosion of freedoms and liberties and discrimination against the non-vaccinated. Largely, these measures have been accepted — even cheered on — by a large part of society. This psychological phenomenon has been observed as ‘mass formation’, which has also been seen in societies that slid in totalitarianism. So it begs the question: are we beginning the descent into a totalitarian state?
To answer all of that and more is psychologist Prof. Mattias Desmet, who joins us once again for episode 13 of Conservative One: Pandemic Unmasked.
Mattias Desmet is a Professor of Clinical Psychology at Belgium’s Ghent University. He also holds a Masters degree in statistics. Prof. Desmet has been outspoken on the irrationality of societal responses to the pandemic since its early days and formulated the psychological concept of ‘mass formation’ to explain that irrationality.
‘Every day, the Australian state of New South Wales reports Covid deaths by age – and vaccination status.
Unlike American figures, these do not depend on inaccurate hospital reporting of vaccination status. They are not manipulated or “age-adjusted.”
They are as close to real time data as exists anywhere in the world. New South Wales even reports whether people under 65 had serious health conditions.
Overall coronavirus deaths have accelerated dramatically in New South Wales in the last month, as the Omicron variant speads. (The state has about 8.2 million people, so 40 deaths a day there is equivalent to 1,600 in the United States.)
So who is dying?
In the last 15 days, 417 of the 552 people who died of Covid in New South Wales were vaccinated, compared to 135 who were unvaccinated.
Sixty of the vaccinated people who died had received a booster shot. Those deaths skew markedly to the last few days. Forty-nine of the 60 boosted people died in the last week – including the most recent, a man in his thirties who had no preexisting conditions. (CORRECTION: HE WAS NOT BOOSTED, HE HAD RECEIVED TWO SHOTS – AS THE SCREENSHOT CLEARLY STATES. MY ERROR – I WAS THINKING ABOUT THE LACK OF PREEXISTING CONDITIONS.)
The adult population in New South Wales is roughly 95 percent vaccinated, including about 40 percent boosted. So the “adjusted rate ratios” the Centers for Disease Control and media bluechecks love to present instead of actual numbers probably still show that the vaccinated have great protection.
But NSW also recently provided strong evidence that many of the unvaccinated elderly people who died were too sick to be vaccinated. On Jan. 28, it reported a batch of 35 deaths that had occurred earlier in January from nursing homes.
Nursing home residents are generally the frailest of the elderly – a 2010 study in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society found that 65 percent of residents died within a year of entering the home.
Thus, for the last year, they have been vaccinated as a matter of course.
Yet New South Wales reported that 14 of the 35 nursing home residents who died – 40 percent – had NOT been vaccinated. The only conceivable explanation for the fact that so many unvaccinated residents are among the dead is that most were too sick to be vaccinated.
When it comes to Covid deaths and vaccines, the adjusted ratios – especially from the United States – are effectively meaningless. The raw numbers are what matter.
Which is why the public health authorities and elite media go out of their way to hide them.
In the Land Down Under ‘Senator Pauline Hanson has been pushing for a Royal Commission into the government’s handling of Covid, and demand for one is starting to gain momentum. People always say that the preparation for Royal Commissions costs way too much money, with all the lawyers and whatnot, which is true, so… as an act of selfless public service, here’s a list of questions I’ve drawn up. For free. To save the lawyers the bother.
Whose decision was it to scrap the previous pandemic plans put into place by Abbott and other earlier governments?
Whose decision was it for the federal government not to join in the Clive Palmer legal challenge to the closing of state borders?
Whose decision was it to set up the National Cabinet?
Why was the National Cabinet given priority over the federal Cabinet?
Under what legislation was the enforced closure of trade and businesses across the nation permitted?
Does that legal authority need to be revisited or curtailed to prevent similar outcomes in the event of future pandemics or emergencies?
What commercial or financial links, if any, exist between any of our health bureaucrats at a state or federal level and any pharmaceutical companies involved in the production of Covid vaccines?
Are there any conflicts of interest between any of our politicians or health bureaucrats and the vaccine industries?
Why were certain potential Covid treatments being trialled overseas using medications approved for other uses disallowed by our own health authorities?
How many times has this ever occurred in the past? If the answer is ‘it has never happened before’, why did it happen this time?
How much of the JobSeeker and Jobkeeper money was pocketed by big business?
How much per head did Australian taxpayers spend on stimulus and other such emergency measures? How does this compare with other countries?
Upon what evidence did our health bureaucrats base their decisions regarding lockdowns and curfews?
At what point did our health authorities become aware that the vaccines do not necessarily prevent transmission? Did this discovery alter their advice?
How accurate were the predictive models about deaths in Australia due to Covid?
What is the federal government’s legal definition of mandatory vaccination? Of coercive vaccination? And of manipulative vaccination?
How many Covid-registered deaths in Australia were “from” Covid and how many were “with” Covid? Precise numbers please.
‘What has caused all the COVID madness? Why has there been so much irrationality? So much fear? So much division? And what is ‘mass formation’?
To answer all of that and more is psychologist Prof. Mattias Desmet, who joins us for part one of a two-part interview beginning episode 12 of Conservative One: Pandemic Unmasked.
