South Australia Directorate Releases New Cell Phone COVID App to Monitor Quarantine Compliance


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on September 2, 2021 | Sundance | 225 Comments

People wonder why they should be paying attention to what happens in Australia.  Well, quite simply, if you can identify where the test facility is for technology to merge with totalitarian objectives, it becomes valuable to follow what they do – and then predict what the future might look like for you.  Australia and New Zealand are testing the parameters of merging the objectives of the control state with technology and citizen compliance.

A year ago, the leftists in U.S. media were cheering the COVID responsibility of Kiwis and Aussies.  However, things are starting to take a very dark turn now.  Even the ultra-far-left Atlantic Magazine is starting to become aware, and what they are seeing is becoming worrisome.

[T]he government of South Australia, one of the country’s six states, developed and is now testing an app as Orwellian as any in the free world to enforce its quarantine rules. People in South Australia will be forced to download an app that combines facial recognition and geolocation. The state will text them at random times, and thereafter they will have 15 minutes to take a picture of their face in the location where they are supposed to be. Should they fail, the local police department will be sent to follow up in person. “We don’t tell them how often or when, on a random basis they have to reply within 15 minutes,” Premier Steven Marshall explained. “I think every South Australian should feel pretty proud that we are the national pilot for the home-based quarantine app.”  (read more)

The South Australian directorate is merely following the path of what already exists in Western Australia and Tasmania.  The state government is monitoring COVID compliance via cell phones, geolocation and random inquires to check the status of citizen compliance.  Yes, there’s now an app for that.  An “app”?  The term sounds so innocuous; and they are proud, publicly proud, of the system they are putting in place.

(ABC NEWS Australia) […] “I think every South Australian should feel pretty proud that we are the national pilot for the home-based quarantine app.” 

The Premier said South Australia will report results back to National Cabinet in the coming weeks.  … “We just use it to verify that people are where they said they were going to be during the home-based quarantine.”

Once a system is built where government is permitted the use of technology to advance their goals under the auspices of “public safety”, it only takes a few more nudges until that system is then used for control, not safety.   The term “safety” then shifts from the deployment of a government process to protect the citizens, to the use of that same process to protect the government from the citizen…..

Eventually, people forget why they are taking off their shoes at an airport and given a full body scan.  Eventually, the COVID monitoring app shows up on every cell phone without even being requested.  The compliance becomes easier to permeate.

In many ways the predictable Skynet is being built in front of our eyes, and yet so many people cannot follow these nudges to their logical conclusion.  Indeed, as we have noted for the past eighteen months, there are many seemingly intellectual people who cannot look up long enough to see exactly where following the feeder pellets are leading them:

Choose wisely comrades…

Premier Gladys Berejiklian of The New South Wales Directorate Has a Warning Message For Australian Citizens Demanding Freedom


Posted originally on the Conservative tree House on September 2, 2021 | Sundance | 168 Comments

Against the backdrop of COVID compliance and the totalitarian efforts of various world leaders, it does not seem coincidental that Australia and New Zealand are two partners within the “five-eyes” intelligence apparatus; Canada, the U.K. and U.S. are the remaining three.  Indeed, an argument can be made that Aussies and Kiwis are the test populations for the objectives of the western alliance.

Recently, a mash-up of statements was released highlighting Comrade Premier Gladys Berejiklian, the leader of the Australian New South Wales Directorate, showcasing the mindset and outlook of regional officials toward any formerly ‘free range’ citizen who might challenge the dictates of the regime.  WATCH:

The remix is somewhat tongue in cheek.  However, given the actual rules imposed by the COVID compliance divisions within Australia, the message is not far away from where the ultimate end-game of the governing authority is heading.  Last week, the New South Wales Ministry of COVID Compliance announced locked-down citizens will be permitted to get married again; however, only five persons of ideological alignment will be permitted to witness any formal union or celebration.

During the announcement (video below, first six minutes), NSW COVID Compliance Health Minister Brad Hazzard, also announced various government officials have reviewed the potential social impacts from an absence of procreation; and determined that without further breeding the ministerial ruling-class could lose the workforce they need for ongoing services. It is therefore in the best interests of the state for the regional ministry to approve a restart for the institution of marriage.

The restart of state approval for the institution of marriage is welcome news, and was made while contrasting sad news of two citizens who recently died from the Coronavirus. Both formerly free-range citizens were females, one in her 70’s and one in her 80’s, and they are latest victims of COVID-19; which is a warning for the entire population of several million about the severity of risk.

In case you missed it…. a few days prior to this, the Premier of the New South Wales directorate announced citizens would be permitted one hour of exercise outside the home, as long as the newly regulated and authorized activity takes place within open hours during the ongoing lockdown. A curfew remains in effect from 9pm to 5am daily. The new hour of outside exercise is permitted between 5am to 9pm, and –just like prison yard time– the time will be carefully monitored by state compliance officers.

Non-compliant citizens, who may be tempted to exceed the permitted hour of exercise time, should remember the state can monitor free-range activity via geolocation from cell phones (portable transponder). Most Australian citizens located outdoors are required to keep their electronic medical identification available for review by authorities at checkpoints as well as their essential worker permits. To ensure the public health, citizens must also scan QR codes at designated monitoring locations.

The state appreciates compliant citizens who monitor their neighbors for wrong thinking, and use the national alert hotline to notify authorities of any rebellious individual who may exceed their approved outdoor recreation time limit, or any rogue citizen spotted attempting to exercise outside of the approved times of day. [New South Wales Article] – [Queensland Article]

♦ The Premier of the New South Wales directorate (Sydney area) is Comrade Premier Gladys Berejiklian. She has announced a magnanimous position to relieve the stress upon the year-long lockdowns.

As the Australian news is reporting:

(Via NINE NEWS) […] “From September 13, households living in the NSW government’s LGAs of concern will be allowed to spend an additional hour of recreation outdoors, as long as all adults in the household are fully vaccinated. This is on top of the already-permitted hour of exercise, meaning households will be able to visit a park, Ms Berejiklian said. However, people must take this hour within the current and ongoing curfew hours, which will continue.” [9pm to 5am]

“Outside the LGAs of concern, through the rest of Greater Sydney and regional NSW, five people will be allowed to gather outdoors, as long as all adults are fully vaccinated.”

“People who live alone can nominate one designated family member or friend to visit for companionship. However, “Singles bubbles” will be required to be registered on nsw.gov.au” (read more)

Masks are mandatory everywhere outside the home except when exercising. However, authorized workers must carry a New South Wales essential workers permit and present their papers at each checkpoint during travel or transit.

♦ Moving slightly north to the Queensland Directorate, they are proud to announce a new COVID Quarantine Camp being built to the West of Brisbane in a place near Toowoomba.

The nearest hospital is two hours away, but that didn’t stop Queensland’s Comrade Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk from signing a lease on the remote area to build a 1,000 bed involuntary quarantine camp for persons who test positive for COVID-19.

Comrade Annastacia Palaszczuk said construction has begun on Thursday for a dedicated regional quarantine facility at Wellcamp Airport near Toowoomba following months of discussion. The premier said the fit-for-purpose facility will be ready by the end of the year, and will eventually have the capacity for 1,000 beds.

Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison said on Thursday the facility does not meet national guidelines, but wished the state “every success” as they build the involuntary containment and quarantine facility.

The federal government has previously said it was not in favor of a quarantine facility at Wellcamp, because it did not meet the criteria of being within easy access of a passenger airport terminal or tertiary hospital.

BRISBANE TIMES – […] “The facility, near Toowoomba, would be almost a two-hour drive from the nearest tertiary hospital in Brisbane but could accommodate international passenger flights along with the limited overseas freight that already lands at the site.

Positive patients would be transported either by ambulance or airlifted to Brisbane’s existing COVID hospitals.

Asked if the Prime Minister knew about the announcement, the Premier said, “I’m quite sure he does now,” confirming she had not spoken to him and federal approval was still needed for such flights to be redirected to Wellcamp, which she hoped would come once the “heat” was out of the issue.

“We can bus people from Brisbane up here if we have to,” Ms Palaszczuk said. “If you build it, they will come.” (read more)

The Spirit of Darkness


Posted originally on GrrrGraphics.com on SEP 1, 2021 AT 5:57 PM

We must walk though the Darkness before we see the light

It’s dark and gloomy because too many totalitarian-minded tyrannical politicians are having a field day telling the western world what to do. They’ve replace our freedoms with what I call ‘safetyism.’ All it takes is a handful of covid cases for the politicians to lock up and terrorize millions of citizens. It’s as if we have our own Taliban threatening us with force and violence if we do not agree with them.

Australia is getting the worst treatment, but New Zealand is suffering, too. Trudeau in Canada and Macron in France are getting their jollies by mandating vaccine passports. The evil-minded in America such as Biden, Pelosi, and her nephew—California Governor Gavin Newsom–want the same. (Newsom is sometimes referred to as ‘Hairdo.’)

How do we stop these dark forces? Voting may not be the answer. The Democrats stole our presidential election and the same means can be used to keep Newsom from being recalled.

No matter what happens, we should not participate in our own demise. Do not take their poisonous jabs. RESIST!

Trudeau was Afraid to Get off the Bus


Armstrong Economics Blog/Canada Re-Posted Sep 1, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

We are winning. The elections in September around the world are going to be critical. It would be so fantastic if Canadians stopped voting for these small parties and ban together to overthrow Trudeau once and for all. Overthrowing these politicians who have lined their pockets against the people and the future of their own countries, will be a major signal to this Gates-Schwab-Soros leadership behind the Great Reset.

Trudeau has been dropping like a stone in the polls but the Canadian Press is desperately pulling the same stunt the US press did against Trump and what they did against BREXIT. The two major parties are both on board with the tyranny and COVID oppression. A new party is rising and if the Canadian want to get their country back, they need to boot Trudeau out. Otherwise, we will see the separatist movement rise and we may even see the province of BC split joining Alberta.

Taliban Hold a Military Parade to Celebrate the Exit of U.S. Forces From Afghanistan


Posted originally on the conservative tree house September 1, 2021 | Sundance | 154 Comments

There is an argument to be made that U.S. policy specifically, perhaps intentionally, culminated in delivering a mechanized national army for the Muslim Brotherhood to use in Afghanistan.   Earlier today, the Taliban held a celebratory parade including U.S. military assets we left for the Afghan army.

A couple of videos below highlight the types of vehicles and weapons now in the hands of Taliban forces, and they are not exclusive to the Kabul area.  Mavlave Abdul Ghafor, the Kandahar Commander of Taliban, congratulated Afghans on “great victory and success”.

Whether the Taliban forces have the systems, personnel and training to maintain and operate this equipment in the long-term is unknown.  However, in the interim period they are well prepared to fight an internal civil war against any entity who would challenge their power.

The Taliban face the issue now of having to run a nation.  In the Sky News segment below the question is asked: “Will the west have the stomach to help them?”

If we consider the ideological approach from the U.S. State Department; the larger elements of the American government who are aligned with an interventionist U.S. foreign policy; and the sympathetic sensibilities of the Foggy Bottom community who are well aligned with the goals and objectives of the Obama-era operatives; well, one can easily imagine a U.S. policy that gives the Taliban support from the United Nations.

It is a bizarre world Alice.  “If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn’t. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn’t be. And what it wouldn’t be, it would. You see?”

…And so it is.

tate Dept Admits The Majority of Afghans and SIVs Who Helped us Did Not Evacuate, So Who Are These 116,000 Afghans We Evacuated


Posted originally on the conservative Tree house on September 1, 2021 | Sundance | 433 Comments

According to the data provided by the U.S. State Department in the last few days, the total number of people evacuated from the Kabul airport was 122,000.  Of those, 6,000 were American citizens (AmCits), and 116,000 were Afghan refugees.

Today the State Department admits the “majority” of the qualified Afghan people who assisted the U.S. during operations in Afghanistan, Afghan Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) applicants, did not get evacuated.  That admission begs the question: then who the heck are those 116,000 refugees?

It’s not just some NBC reporter relaying information, there are multiple reports of exactly the same dynamic.   According to the Wall Street Journal, “The U.S. left behind the majority of Afghan interpreters and others who applied for visas to flee Afghanistan, a senior State Department official said on Wednesday, despite frantic efforts to evacuate those at risk of Taliban retribution in the final weeks of the airlift.”

[…] The U.S. still doesn’t have reliable data on who was evacuated, nor for what type of visas they may qualify, the official said, but initial assessments suggested most visa applicants didn’t make it through the crush at the airport. “I would say it’s the majority of them,” the official said. “Just based on anecdotal information about the populations we were able to support.”

[…] The Biden administration has said that from the end of July, the U.S. and allied nations evacuated more than 122,000 thousand people from the country, most of whom were Afghans.

The State Department estimates that fewer than 200 Americans that wanted to leave Afghanistan have been left behind. Pentagon Press secretary John Kirby said on Friday, near the end of the evacuation effort, that the U.S. had been able to evacuate about 7,000 Special Immigrant Visa applicants by that point. (read more)

If 116,000 Afghans were evacuated, and 7,000 of them were valid SIV applicants, that means we have evacuated approximately 110,000 residents from Afghanistan who have an unknown ideological reason for their departure.

Sketchy….  all of it.

And don’t expect the U.S. Senate to lift a finger or look quizzically at any of this; the upper chamber of congress is 100% in alignment with this import, and the lower House chamber is in full defense of Biden.

Missed Expectations, ADP Private Payrolls Rise 374k Far Below Economist Prior Estimates


Posted originally on the conservative tree house September 1, 2021 | Sundance | 151 Comments

The Bureau of Labor Statistics report on August jobs is anticipated Friday. However, the numbers from the private sector ADP payroll review [Data Here] were released today, and the results are far below what was predicted.

According to the ADP payroll review, businesses hired a total of 374,000 workers, compared to the expectation of 600,000+ from the financial media.  The vast majority of jobs gained was in the ‘Service and Hospitality’ sector that added 201,000 jobs.

The total services sector added 329,000 jobs, while the goods-producing sector only gained 45,000 jobs. This result is reflective of an overall drop in consumer spending which has continually been identified in sales data from the past several months.

Consumers are being hit with massive inflation on food, fuel, energy and housing costs. As a result, they have pulled back from spending on durable goods, luxury products and other items now considered ‘non-essential.’

The service and hospitality sector shows job growth from new hires and returning workers as people start to travel, dine in restaurants and engage in other vacation activity.  Simultaneously, those same consumers are spending less on retail purchases. This pattern has been very consistent throughout the summer.

(MSM) – […] Recent statements out of the central bank indicate that it likely will slow the pace of its monthly purchases of bonds so long as job growth continues at pace. Officials have been largely optimistic about the employment picture, though they note that about 6 million fewer workers are holding jobs now than before the pandemic. (more)

John Spiropoulos and Moms For Liberty Take a Close Look At The Specific Material Being Used to Advance Critical Race Theory


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on September 1, 2021 | Sundance | 47 Comments

(Via John Spiropoulos) “The previous reports in my series “The Poison In Our Schools” covered some of the issues involved with Critical Race Theory and curriculum inspired by CRT. These next two reports take a deep dive into what young children actually face in the classroom. These reports get down to the granular level of how they are being indoctrinated with left-wing, anti-white, anti-American ideology.

These reports focus on the English Language Arts curriculum titled “Wit and Wisdom.” It was developed by an organization called “Great Minds.” The basic objective of an English Language Arts curriculum is to improve reading, writing and speaking skills while teaching grammar and vocabulary.

The Williamson County, Tennessee chapter of the Moms for Liberty organization did an extensive review of Wit and Wisdom’s K-5 curriculum. Moms for Liberty read the books and the teacher’s manuals. So did I. And I must compliment Wit and Wisdom. The teaching techniques are state-of-the-art. What’s objectionable is Wit and Wisdom turning its intellectual firepower on defenseless children.”

The first video focuses on two books about Ruby Bridges, a true story about the first black child to go to an all-white school in New Orleans. The year: 1960 – VIDEO One – Direct Rumble Link

.

The second video is titled Separate Is Never Equal, the Mendez Family Fight for Desegregation. It’s another true story but in this case, it’s a Mexican-American family which fights for their daughter to go to the all-white school in California. The year: 1947

“Why are seven year old school children repeatedly subjected to ethnic slurs against Mexican-Americans. That’s exactly what’s happening in the second grade with the “Wit and Wisdom” teaching of a book titled Separate Is Never Equal. The Williamson County, Tennessee chapter of Moms for Liberty reviewed the “Wit and Wisdom” curriculum for this book and found it objectionable. This is a report on their findings as well as the research by the investigative reporting team of John Spiropoulos and Wendi Strauch Mahoney.”  Video Two – Direct Rumble Link

.

Lets Roll America Link

Keep in mind, the Critical Race Theory is only a place marker on the race-based continuum using marxist indoctrination.  The modern movement originated form from the Dream Defenders (Orlando, Travon Martin) to Black Lives Matter (Ferguson, Mike Brown), to the “Dreamers” (Obama UAC’s – Unaccompanied Alien Children), to “I Can’t Breathe” and “Take a Knee”, as tools.

The tools include the border crisis, woke advancement, NFL, Big Tech, Corporations… etc.

It is all connected to the same cultural revolution as originated by the Chicago Crew (communist ideology) behind the Obama network.

This continuum is, in it’s closest form, very similar to the Communist Chinese Cultural Revolution. The methods are modern, the tools change from time to time depending on the opportunity, but the ideological goals are the same.
