There are numerous Democrats who have imposed un-American restrictions over COVID upon the people they represent but then fly to Florida to party and spend the holidays. Some have even been looking at property to buy. Then, they bash DeSantis every chance they get because they fear he could beat all of them in an election. The hypocrisy just never ends.

We have discussed this guy before. [HERE and HERE and HERE]. Northern Territory Chief Minister Michael Gunner is a fast-talking little man of notoriously intemperate disposition who will not allow any criticism of his totalitarian tendencies. Gunner has promised to be as brutal as needed to stop COVID spread in the region. He will accept no vocal dissent to his mandates from citizens in the state. All vaccine hesitant citizens are considered enemies of the state, and now subject to arrest if they voice any objection.
Today, Gunner announced that due to Omicron, he is taking the concept of lockdowns one step further. Effectively 1pm today, anyone who is not vaccinated is, by decree, designated as locked out of civil society in the region. Without notice, and effective almost immediately, the unvaccinated citizens in the Northern Territory are to remain confined in their homes and are not permitted to work.
At 1pm on Monday the lockout will be lifted; however, a mandatory vaccine passport process will be fully implemented in the territory, and the unvaccinated will continue to be locked out of all non-essential, businesses, operations and services in society. WATCH (prompted):
This is the guy who put the quarantine containment camps into place, and said the people in them were volunteering to be detained. A few days later three aboriginal men, all of whom tested negative for the virus, climbed the fence and escaped the “detainment facility.” {REMINDER HERE}. The military and police were then activated to conduct a manhunt, closed the roads, set up checkpoints where vehicles were searched and used helicopters with trained personnel to hunt the escapees. That’s the reference for how this guy rolls.
Madness.
(Sky News) – […] “If you are not fully vaxxed, stay home. You are at greater risk of catching COVID, getting ill and needing hospital care,” Mr Gunner said. “The fully vaccinated can continue as they were. For people who are not vaccinated, lockdown rules will apply to everyone aged 16 and above.
The lockout will end on Monday at midday and a vaccine pass system will be implemented. (link)

The totalitarian regime in Australia has created a real mess after they granted tennis superstar Novak Djokovic, the #1 player in the world, a visa to enter the country and play in the Australian Open, and then detained him at the airport, cancelled the visa, and announced they will forcibly deport him.
The Serbs have promised to fight the Australians in the streets.
Why? Because of Djokovic’s vaccination status, of course.
Australia – […] Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said on Instagram he spoke with Djokovic over the phone and told him that “the whole of Serbia is with him and that our authorities are undertaking all measures in order that maltreatment of the world’s best tennis player ends as soon as possible”.
“In line with all standards of international public law, Serbia will fight for Novak Djokovic, justice and truth.”
Australian prime minister Scott Morrison said that Djokovic had failed to provide sufficient proof to receive a medical exemption to enter the country and insisted that the Serb was not “singled out” for scrutiny over his visa cancellation. He said: “Rules are rules, especially when it comes to our borders”.
Having landed on a commercial flight at Melbourne Airport around 12.30pm, the Serbian was detained for hours upon arrival, with news of his visa cancellation coming a full nine hours later. According to his father, Srdjan, Djokovic had initially been kept alone in a room with guards outside. “Novak is currently in a room which no one can enter,” he had told the B92 internet portal. “In front of the room are two policemen.”
Srdjan also told Australian breakfast show Sunrise: “They are holding my son captive. If they don’t release him in the next half an hour, we will fight them on the street.”
Djokovic had gleefully announced on Tuesday that he had been given an exemption from having to be vaccinated against coronavirus before boarding a 14-hour flight from Dubai to Melbourne. (read more)
In a fight between the Serbians and the Australians, it’s likely the less woke Serbians would win… Just sayin’.

The U.S. government does not operate in a vacuum without knowledge of what is happening and a solid perspective on what is likely to happen. Whether they listen to the commonsense advisors, or whether the control officers intentionally keep counter positions away from the principle, is another matter; however, the officials generally know what is most likely to happen.
The White House put Port Envoy John D. Porcari, who is also intricately involved in the supply chain taskforce, on the podium today to discuss supply chain issues. The full video of his remarks is posted below, but my spidey sense is telling me they know what we know, and they are starting to prepare for what will ultimately become impossible to ignore. WATCH:
It’s not just a port issue, as we have discussed on these pages, the interventionist policies and regulations from the people creating the COVID response (writ large) have been fubar from the beginning. {Go Deep} When they shut down the restaurants and hospitality sector (2020 lockdowns), the advisors and bureaucrats triggered a cascading series of events inside the food supply chain.
I know it sounds weird to try and wrap your arms around, but those early decisions in 2020 created a problem that only a very few people could see and follow to its natural conclusion.
The 60/40 supply chain for food away from home (restaurants, fast-food locales, schools, cafeterias etc.), and food at home (supermarkets and grocery stores etc.), is not something you can just fiddle around with. {Go Deep}
Supply chains are challenging on their own. However, within the various supply chains, the supply chain for U.S. food distribution is the most complex supply chain in the world. There’s nothing even close. It was created by decades of free market operators following efficiencies of scale to produce the best, most wholesome and reliable food supply chain ever created. In many ways it is our best national security advantage.
The free-market distribution system would eventually overcome the problem and reestablish its efficiencies. However, given the scale of disruption -and the fact that catch up harvests are seasonal- it was obviously taking several years.
Most Americans were not aware going into the COVID mitigation effort that food consumption in the U.S. was a 60/40 proposition. Approximately 60% of all food was consumed “outside the home” (or food away from home), and 40% of all food consumed was food “inside the home” (grocery shoppers).
Food ‘outside the home’ includes restaurants, fast food locales, schools, corporate cafeterias, university lunchrooms, manufacturing cafeterias, hotels, food trucks, park and amusement food sellers and many more. Many of those venues are not thought about when people evaluate the overall U.S. food delivery system; however, this network was approximately 60 percent of all food consumption on a daily basis.
The ‘food away from home‘ sector has its own supply chain. Very few restaurants and venues (cited above) purchase food products from retail grocery outlets. As a result of the coronavirus mitigation effort, the ‘food away from home’ sector was reduced by 75% of daily food delivery operations. However, people still needed to eat. That meant retail food outlets, grocers, would see sales increases of 25 to 50 percent, depending on the area.
The retail consumer supply chain for manufactured and processed food products includes bulk storage to compensate for seasonality. As Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue noted in 2020, “There are over 800 commercial and public warehouses in the continental 48 states that store frozen products.”
Here is a snapshot of the food we had in storage at the end of February 2020: over 302 million pounds of frozen butter; 1.36 billion pounds of frozen cheese; 925 million pounds of frozen chicken; over 1 billion pounds of frozen fruit; nearly 2.04 billion pounds of frozen vegetables; 491 million pounds of frozen beef; and nearly 662 million pounds of frozen pork.
This bulk food storage is how the total U.S. consumer food supply ensures consistent availability even with weather impacts. As a nation, we essentially stay one harvest ahead of demand by storing it and smoothing out any peak/valley shortfalls. There are a total of 175,642 commercial facilities involved in this supply chain across the country
The stored food supply is the originating resource for food manufacturers who process the ingredients into a variety of branded food products and distribute to your local supermarket. That bulk stored food, and the subsequent supply chain, is entirely separate from the fresh food supply chain used by restaurants, hotels, cafeterias etc.
For almost four months in 2020, the retail supply chain was operating way beyond capacity, as most “food away from home” was turned off or severely limited. The burn rate of raw food products in storage jumped a stunning 40 percent. Those bulk warehouses, the feeder pools for retail/consumer manufactured food products, started to run low as the various states kept making rules about restaurant capacity and venue availability due to COVID.
Believe me, we don’t want to find out what happens when those 800 mass storage facilities run out. This “bigger picture” was not being considered by politically minded governors, DC politicians, and public health-centric advisors who focused exclusively on using the politics of the virus for control.
Here we are, two years later, and the currently empty shelves, in combination with layers of new short-sighted policy, are a downstream consequence of that originating disruption.
The best thing government could do to avoid a crisis would have been to do nothing. Just let people go back to normal, and that would have allowed the market process to eventually correct itself. However, they didn’t stop -and worse- the Biden administration started implementing massive policy changes (energy policy, regulatory policy, legislative policy, monetary policy) while simultaneously pumping COVID bailout money into the economy.
As the food sector tried to gain its footing, the wave of price increases driven by energy policy only made things worse. We have been seeing these staggering price increases at the grocery store. Then, at the worst possible time, the new Omicron narrative “a winter of death awaits” was pushed. Now, the labor side of the supply chain equation is hit even harder stressing out every facet of the food distribution system.
Instead of just preparing for massive price increases, we are now preparing for massive shortages in this most important sector.
People are starting to see completely blown-out empty shelves and slow replenishment. Soon, as a result of this situation worsening, there is very likely to be public pressure on government to solve the problem which, ironically and insufferably, the government intervention created.
How will the White House respond to demands that someone fix the problem of empty shelves?
You already know the answer to that question, and it isn’t good.
Here’s the full presser with John D. Porcari (prompted):

Oh dear, this statement by Senator Ted Cruz is going to put Ms. Julie Kelly in quite a pickle. Earlier today, Senator Cruz called the J6 protesting groups a bunch of “violent terrorists … who should go to jail for a long, long time.”
Readers of these pages will not find this mask slip by Cruz to be a big surprise; however, for the legions of Cruz-bots, who have avoided watching him turn into a wolfman type hybrid, literally, this could be problematic. You only need to watch the first few seconds of this one minute video to see where Senator Cruz stands. WATCH:
If the 2016 RNC convention speech didn’t shake off his supporters, perhaps this latest revelation will. Wolfman Cruz is one small nudge to the right of the one-eyed Cheney from Texas.

Serrez plus fort, mes amis – squeeze harder. This only ends one way.
The communist leftists in France have always had a problem with their citizenry. Their biggest challenge is that France, has a strong historic sense of nationalism. The modern political left in Europe has worked earnestly to erode that cultural truth, and the leftists in the U.S. have tried to assist them throughout. This is the essential reason why the U.S. State Department deployed the “Rivkin Project.”
Like Barack Obama, Emmanuel Macron was installed by the larger assembly of Vichy Communists; and just like the previous Tea Party rose up to confront President Obama, in France the Yellow Vest movement appeared to confront President Macron. We are finally at a time where people are able to see these connective tissues, and that my friends is a very good outcome.
We the people, those who understand the deepest values of nationalism in the cultural and political battle against globalism, need these installed leaders to remain visible.
We need them to squeeze harder because every time they do, more people awaken.
French President Emmanuel Macron feels emboldened by the rise of COVID fear. Pretenses are being dropped as these words were spoken yesterday about the citizens of France:
(EuroNews) […] Macron told Le Parisien that he had decided to act against the non-vaccinated, by “limiting as much as possible their access to social life activity”. “The unvaccinated, I really want to piss them off. And so we will continue to do so, to the bitter end. That’s the strategy,” the head of state said. “When my freedom comes to threaten that of other people, I become irresponsible. An irresponsible person is no longer a citizen.”
The president’s language is being seen as an inversion of a comment by one of his predecessors Georges Pompidou, who said it was time to “stop pissing off the French people” in 1966 when he was prime minister.
“I am not going to put them in prison, I am not going to forcibly vaccinate them,” Macron went on. “Therefore you have to say to them: from January 15 you can no longer go to a restaurant, you can no longer go for a drink, you can no longer go for a coffee, you can no longer go to the theatre, you can no longer go to the cinema,” the president said.

Barack Obama was installed; the American people are starting to realize.
Justin Trudeau was installed; the Canadian people are starting to realize.
Jacinda Ardern was installed; the people of New Zealand are starting to realize.
Emmanuel Macron was installed; the French people are starting to realize.
Ursula von der Leyen was installed; the people captured by the EU are starting to realize.
And yes, when they installed Joe Biden, they went too far, and this installation process started to become transparent.
The beta testing for the globalist (World Economic Forum) controlled and installed efforts became highly visible to many close observers when Barack H. Obama traveled to Cairo, Egypt and triggered the beginning of what became known as “The Arab Spring.” There it was the visible delivery of what we knew was taking place, but for the first time it was transparent which processes they were deploying.
The Obama visit to Cairo was needed, because it was around the same time when the socialist movement in the European Union was running out of financing for their multi-cultural experiment. The state department effort was coordinated by Charles Rivkin, hence the Rivkin Project specifically targeting the peskiest country for the globalists pushing multi-culturalism in the EU, France.
Now, thanks to various governments’ weaponizing COVID as a tool for control, people around the world are starting to sense and even see that something is controlling all of this – at least something is coordinating all of this. Indeed, the political exploits of the multinational corporate elites from Davos and the World Economic Forum are starting to become much more visible.
Squeeze harder I say…. this awakening needs more urgency. The line of acceptance is different for all people. We need the forces driving that line to move rapidly in order to assemble the largest army possible. Squeeze harder.
It takes moments of great consequence to overcome generational complacency. That is the opportunity we are being given with COVID-19 and the government exploitation of it.
The hidden totalitarian nature of government and the ruling class is being revealed, this is a good development for those who were trying desperately to get people to see it before.
I am optimistic, like the moment in the battle when the disproportionate brutality becomes visible, and the tides change in favor of victim. The cheers around the colosseum do not have to start out supporting the gladiators in order for the gladiator to ultimately become victorious. Indeed, any gladiator worth his salt knows the primary goal is to change the chant and instill fear in one gilded chair.
The need for control is a reaction to fear. Extreme measures to retain control are reactions to equally extreme senses of fear.
All around the world, right now, there are mini dictators tenuously clinging to power and trying to control a much larger mob. They have multitudes of advisors helping them, they have financial resources, and they have enforcers. However, just as Gaius Julius Caesar lost control with the entire Roman army around him, so too are these dictators and totalitarians subjects to a much larger citizenry.
Squeeze harder…. please, squeeze harder.
As fast as possible, we need to get to the point where we are finally going to deal with them. Simultaneously, they are trying to avoid being dealt with. Squeeze harder, says the slave gladiator as others surface to join the fight. Squeeze harder.
This will not end well for the ruling class. So, let’s get on with it…

It is not coincidental that Chicago becomes the place where the insufferable communist activist teachers become most visible in their attacks against parents and students. In the method of using the sector of education as a weapon, the Marxists in Chicago are the epicenter of communist ideology.
Chicago is Saul Alinsky, Bill Ayers, Bernadine Dohrn, and of course, Barack Obama. The teacher’s union in Chicago is a fully communist education movement, with an entrenched belief that all children belong to the grand communal outlook they represent.
So, it does not come as a surprise to see the Chicago Teachers Union tell the city officials ‘they are in charge‘ and they will dictate COVID policy.
CHICAGO – Classes were canceled Wednesday in Chicago, the country’s third-largest school district, as union leaders and city officials failed to reach an agreement over how to operate schools safely amid the surge in coronavirus cases – an impasse cemented with a late-night vote from Chicago Teachers Union that could lock students out of in-person learning until mid-January.
“Right now, going into school puts us at risk, puts our students and families at risk,” union President Jesse Sharkey said in a press conference Wednesday morning. “That’s the simple truth of the matter. This is a virus that’s raging through the city.”
Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot rebuffed the claims by union representatives that the entire district should operate remotely until the rapid spread of the highly transmissible omicron variant subsides or until city officials enforce more stringent safety protocols.
“I cannot stand here in good conscience as the mayor of this city,” she said, “and tell you that it makes sense to shut down an entire system. If I thought it did, if I heard that from our public health experts, then I would be the first one to tell you that’s what we must do.” (read more)
Modern Democrats are communists. Their modern tools for power retention are based on Marxism. Their increased influence and success are the downstream consequence of their use of Barack Obama.
After decades of effort and positioning, using racism as a weapon, Obama became the tool and inflection point to mainstream communism as an acceptable political effort inside U.S. politics. Everything after, including the issues today with Omicron et al, is simply a consequence.
There is a disturbing YouTube montage mentioning a small fraction of otherwise healthy young athletes who suddenly died last year. This is not a normal occurrence. There is no possible way anyone could look at these deaths occurring throughout the world without noticing the one similarity among the deceased — they were all vaccinated.
Myocarditis is a side effect of the vaccine. Some doctors have suggested cardiac MRIs, echocardiograms, ECGs, and blood tests for athletes to ensure that their hearts are healthy enough to continue beating. This is unnecessary, and the vaccine is unnecessary for healthy individuals. I personally believe that these deaths could have been prevented.
AOC has been partying it up on vacation in Miami, Florida while enjoying the freedoms that she denies to those in the state of New York. AOC has been spotted in numerous crowded public venues without a mask, hugging strangers, and certainly not socially distancing. This is the person who jumps on a soapbox at every opportunity to shove restrictions down the throats of Americans while completely disobeying her own rules.
“We hope you’re enjoying a taste of freedom here in the Sunshine State thanks to @RonDeSantisFL leadership,” a Team Desantis Twitter account tweeted. “Hasn’t Gov. DeSantis been inexplicably missing for like 2 weeks?” the confused politician snarkily replied. Yes, in fact, Governor DeSantis has been away aiding his wife as she undergoes chemotherapy treatments.
When AOC received continued criticism for her hypocrisy, she replied akin to a pre-teen child by accusing Republicans of secretly having a crush on her. You can’t make this stuff up.
“It’s starting to get old ignoring the very obvious, strange, and deranged sexual frustrations that underpin the Republican fixation on me, women, & LGBT+ people in general. These people clearly need therapy, won’t do it, and use politics as their outlet instead. It’s really weird,” AOC embarrassingly stated while failing to deflect blame. This woman is an embarrassment to American democracy and has become a sensationalized celebrity rather than a representative of the people.
AOC does not believe in the laws or restrictions that she blindly supports in an effort to be the most progressive of the progressives. It is not the first time she has been seen breaking the laws she imposes on others. This woman does not have the best interest of the people in mind, and no, the criticism does not come from a secret desire to date her. I would rather be alone for eternity.
