Steve Cortes Lost Betting Against Trump in 2024 Primary — Now He’s Betting on Dabrowski to Win in Illinois

By Nancy Thorner - 

National Review reported Sept. 2021 that after the Marxist-like governor of Oregon Kate Brown mandated masks outdoors, Oregon at the same time saw a spike in Covid cases up 73% (This after the majority of those eligible was vaccinated). 

But not to be outdone, later in 2021 on November 25, 2021, Santa Cruz, California is back with an indoor mask mandate, but this time with a twist. In addition to public places like restaurants and gyms: “Masks must be worn in private settings, including your home, when non-household members are present."   And yes, this applies to the fully vaccinated. 

Do you still think that you can comply your way out of tyranny?  Ask the Australians how that one is working out.  What started as “two weeks to bend the curve” to this.

Spotlighting Australia
 
Australia is perhaps the clearest illustration of what the whole world could face. Even though a majority are “vaccinated,” their freedoms have not been returned, and now they have to submit to boosters or lose what semblance of freedom the initial round of shots gave them. The Australian government is confiscating and blocking people’s bank accounts, withholding unemployment benefits and more — all in the name of “public health.”  
 
In a November 9, 2021, interview with Atlantic Council CEO Frederick Kempe, Pfizer chairman and CEO Albert Bourla cited what  this “new way of life” looks like?  "It looks like Australia. It looks like Israel. It looks like Lithuania, where your “right” to frequent restaurants, stores, shopping malls, beauty salons, libraries, banks, insurance agencies and universities, and your “right” to inpatient medical care and travel, all depend on your willingness to participate in a medical experiment that can kill or disable you."
 
News reports
 
Reported on 12/4/2021
 
"The government seems to be grabbing power in any way it can from the citizens of their country.
 
The Australian parliament passed a bill that will give full control of citizens' social media accounts and place that power in the hands of the government. Nothing will be sacred on social media. The Australian government will be effectively spying on its own citizens.
 
The government can now access email accounts without consent. The government can now add and delete information they deem to need attention. The power to edit, remove, add, delete information, without citizen consent, is the feeling of a true authoritarian government making a strong move."
 
The Guardian reported:
 
“It is alarming that, instead of accepting the committee’s recommendations and allowing time for scrutiny of subsequent amendments, the Morrison government rushed these laws through parliament in less than 24 hours,” Pender said, the senior lawyer at the Human Rights Law Centre.
 
Reported on 12/4/21
 
See here a video about going inside Australia's COVID-19 Concentration Camp.
 
“Remember back in 2019, when we all said that it was not two weeks to flatten the curve or that it was just simply to wear a mask in stores? So many of us said the government would start by saying it was just a couple of weeks before moving on to showing proof of your vaccine before traveling or entering establishments. Then if it was not stopped at that point, it was just a hop, skip, and a jump to COVID quarantine camps for those who tested positive.”
 
"Australia has confirmed that they are locking individuals into COVID-19 concentration camps, stating it’s for “public health."
 
Reported on 12/8/21
 
After having been exposed to COVID, 26-year-old Hayley Hodgson from Australia was picked up by authorities last week and taken to a quarantine facility against her will.
 
“You feel like you’re in prison. You feel like you’ve done something wrong, it’s inhumane what they’re doing,” Hodgson said. “You are so small, they just overpower you.”
 
Hodgson said that she was ordered to quarantine at the Centres for National Resilience in Howard Springs, Darwin after one of her friends tested positive for COVID-19.
 
Concluding thought
 
Where and when do you think this will end, based on a reading of any history book you have read or have on your shelf?  
 
It is not far-fetched to think that such tyrannical action could happen in this nation.
