‘After a week of torrential rain and floods, the Wyong SES put out a call to the community through its Facebook page asking for volunteers to help fill sandbags for desperate residents.
What’s being referred to as a ‘one in a thousand-year’ weather event has meant all hands on deck are called on to pitch in.
Well, not quite.
Adding to the grief for local SES operators was a decision by the NSW state government and SES leadership to only allow fully vaccinated members of the community to roll up their sleeves and fill the sandbags.
“At a unit level that’s nothing to do with us, we just cop all the flak from the people who have been harassing us on Facebook and sending us abusive messages,” said Tim Keown, Wyong SES Deputy Unit Commander.
“We’ve been doing massive sandbag operations, a couple of hundred tonnes of sand has gone out into the community and we’ve had about 2,500 requests for assistance right across the central coast between Wyong and Gosford.“
Frustrated locals across the flood-affected regions of NSW have taken to social media to express their disbelief that, in a time of genuine crisis in their community and despite being willing and capable, they’re not allowed to help.
The people impacted by the disaster I talked to on the streets didn’t appear to have any issues if an unvaccinated person were to help them out in their time of need.
“Volunteers are as rare as hen’s teeth and if someone is prepared I don’t care if they’ve been vaxxed or not,” said one local I talked to.
“It wouldn’t worry me,” said another. “We’re kind of passed all that aren’t we, really? “I couldn’t care less.” said a third.
With even more wild weather forecast to hit some of the same regions in the coming days and weeks, it puts the focus back on the NSW’s leadership to address the issues at hand.
As Stuart Gadenne, a former ADF special forces officer who isn’t allowed to assist the SES under the rules said to me, the state government needs to drastically reconsider this decision and take a different approach.
‘In this episode of Behind The Deep State, host Alex Newman explores the Deep State effort to supposedly fight the Chinese virus with more tyranny and globalism. In particular, Alex goes through a Rockefeller Foundation report that imagines a hypothetical pandemic. Dubbed “Lock Step,” this scenario praises Communist China’s ruthless measures while attacking the United States. Newman also exposes the push for a New World Order, mandatory vaccines, a global Special Drawing Rights currency by the IMF, ID2020, and other schemes funded by the Bill Gates Foundation. Basically, the Deep State is using this hysteria to wage war on liberty, nations, and privacy. Don’t let them win.
‘I am starting to think I need to file a First Amendment lawsuit over that insane bulletin from the Department of Homeland Security on Feb. 7.
In case you’ve forgotten, that report – a public declaration of the federal government’s official view of terrorism – called the top terrorist threat to the United States:
false or misleading narratives, which sow discord or undermine public trust in U.S. government institutions.
Their words, not mine.
Trying to “undermine public trust in U.S. government institutions” is now a terrorist act?
Then I’m a terrorist.
Especially since the bulletin specifically mentions COVID-19: there is widespread online proliferation of false or misleading narratives regarding unsubstantiated widespread election fraud and COVID-19.
There’s that word “misleading” again. As this White House has made clear, “misleading” facts are those that lead people to opinions of conclusions it doesn’t like.
No, no one has knocked on my door or threatened to arrest me.
But that does mean the government is not targeting me – along with other prominent Covid and vaccine skeptics. Per the bulletin, the Department of Homeland Security in 2021 expanded its evaluation of online activity as part of its efforts to assess and prevent acts of violence.
The government has other tools against people it classifies as terrorists too, including plenty of secret ones.
And remember, to be a terrorist under these terms, your speech simply has to “potentially inspire acts of violence.”
Potentially.
If this isn’t a government effort to discourage lawful speech, I don’t know what is. The question is whether it is so broad and dangerous that I can prove it will have a chilling and unconstitutional effect on me (and other people) even if I do not know I am being targeted. It feels like a form of prior restraint, all the worse for being so broad.
Will courts agree? There may be only one way to find out.
25 February 2022 ‘NSW Health encourages everyone who is eligible to receive a vaccination or their booster dose to book into a NSW Health vaccination clinic or another provider without delay through the COVID-19 vaccine clinic finder.
Sadly, NSW Health is reporting the deaths of six people with COVID-19; five men and one woman.
Four people were aged in their 80s, one person was in their 70s and one person was in their 50s. Older age is a significant risk factor for serious illness and death for COVID-19, particularly when combined with significant underlying health conditions.
One person who died was aged under 65. The man in his 50s had received two doses of a COVID-19 vaccine and had significant underlying health conditions.
‘Welcome to a world where Chinese leaders are rewriting the Bible to suit communism and make Jesus a sinner like everybody else. Where Trudeau is reportedly behaving as a Communist dictator while Boris in England is removing every last restriction concerning Covid. What a crazy mixed up world where facts are so often FACT CHECKED by experts who portray truth as fiction and sell us lies as fact and persuade governments to punish any who expose their falsehoods. Down under we are looking at MASKS possibly being removed next week but who knows what else after that. Yet a little freedom is a step in the right direction and very much appreciated.
Beware Chinese Communist leaders – God’s Word warns of harsh downfall to any individual or nation who dares interfere with His Word – it’s the beginning of the end of what you do. Beware Trudeau when you treat people like your own pet ants, they will turn and bite, and Boris you could probably do with a little more discretion but you are heading in the right direction mate; and all you scientists who spend your life denying the obvious truth that “God created, that He alone is truth, and He did come to this earth as the sinless Christ to give us the only freedom that truly exists both now and for eternity”.’https://mailchi.mp/creationresearch.net/creation-research-email-update-23rd-february-2022?e=ce21bf0337
