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.
The Victorian government under Dan Andrews is nothing short of being an arm of the CCP. All Australians, in fact all freedom loving people need to view this video.
‘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.
‘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’?

How did China take over the world? All one has to do is look at most products sold and it is easy to see that China manufactures almost everything we purchase but that’s not enough! Now, with the China virus being expanded into its third year our Western so-called democracies are continuing their ripping away our freedoms at a more aggressive pace. Here in New South Wales Australia the Covid lunacy continues!

I’m originally from southern Iowa and so glad ‘Republican Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds took a public stand in favor of the rights of parents during an interview with a local news reporter on Monday. She specifically defended the right of parents to decide on the appropriate subject matter in their children’s schools.
The interview centered on disputes around the nation regarding some of the books local school districts are placing in their school libraries. Some school library books contain explicit erotic material and have been challenged as inappropriate for school-age children. In Iowa, in particular, six local districts around Des Moines face these controversies.
During the interview, Gov. Reynolds read aloud from one of the books involved, “All Boys Aren’t Blue.” That book includes essays described as a “memoir-manifesto” about growing up gay and black.
She read a passage from the book for the reporter that described a graphic carnal act between two boy cousins. The passage used explicit language to describe boys in the nude having oral intercourse with each other. When she finished reading the passage, Reynolds said she didn’t know if Iowa parents feel that material is appropriate for children in K-12 education. Still, she feels that it is a decision that they should be able to make.
The reporter asked Reynolds if she agrees with Iowa’s Republican state Senate President Jake Chapman. The latter said teachers’ unions have a “sinister agenda” to normalize deviant behavior among school children. Reynolds said she “absolutely agrees” those inappropriate things are displayed in Iowa classrooms and libraries without explicitly commenting on Chapman’s statements.
Some schools around the country have been removing “All Boys Aren’t Blue” from libraries, although the author defends his book as having an “important message” for young boys and girls “struggling with their gender.” He said that removing a “resource” doesn’t mean “Black queer youth” will not experience what he describes.
