1. The Duties of Citizenship
In 1883, a 24-year-old (!) Theodore (Teddy) Roosevelt gave one of the top 10 speeches of all time, titled Duties of American Citizenship. A friend recently brought it to my attention, and he is right about its depth, breadth, and current day importance.
"Duties of American Citizenship" by Theodore Roosevelt
You can simply replace American with Australian, or more appropriately drop the country all-together, and just read it as The Duties of Citizenship.
There is a duty to citizenship, and I, like others have been asleep at the wheel while we let “others” run the country. Look at the state of our once wonderful country and reflect on how these “others” are doing. They have terrified the population through the most successful propaganda campaign and then taken advantage of that fear with the roll-out of freedom, wealth and individual sovereignty destroying collectivist “solutions” towards a utopian two-tier society.
Eternal shame on them and shame on us and our apathy that permitted this to happen.
Some wonderful quotes from the speech of this 24-year-old are:
Being Good
“No man can be a good citizen who is not a good husband and a good father, who is not honest in his dealings with other men and women, faithful to his friends and fearless in the presence of his foes, who has not got a sound heart, a sound mind, and a sound body; exactly as no amount of attention to civil duties will save a nation if the domestic life is undermined…”
Making time
“Nothing worth gaining is ever gained without effort. You can no more have freedom without striving and suffering for it than you can win success as a banker or a lawyer without labor and effort, without self-denial in youth and the display of a ready and alert intelligence in middle age. The people who say that they have not time to attend to politics are simply saying that they are unfit to live in a free community. Their place is under a despotism…”
Civic responsibility
“It ought to be axiomatic in this country that every man must devote a reasonable share of his time to doing his duty in the Political life of the community. … In so far as the community grows to think rightly, it will likewise grow to regard the young man of means who shirks his duty to the State in time of peace as being only one degree worse than the man who thus shirks it in time of war.”
150 to 200 Good People
“When once a band of one hundred and fifty or two hundred honest, intelligent men, who mean business and know their business, is found in any district, whether in one of the regular organizations or outside, you can guarantee that the local politicians of that district will begin to treat it with a combination of fear, hatred, and respect, and that its influence will be felt; and that while sometimes men will be elected to office in direct defiance of its wishes, more often the successful candidates will feel that they have to pay some regard to its demands for public decency and honesty.”
2. The Liberal Democrats Party (LDP)
I have taken heed of Teddy’s call. I have looked in the mirror and found myself wanting.
I have wanted, actually felt entitled to, the spoils of freedom without making any effort towards its upkeep and preservation.
And so, I have joined a political party for the very first time in my life, The Liberal Democrats.
I have listened to their people and read their material and have decided that not only are they the good guys, but that they have the most credible voice and most realistic change of effecting long lasting change within Australia.
They need members and they need money.
The Liberal Party membership sits at about 60,000 nationally (that’s all), the LDP sits at about 14,000 and I with a small team of dedicated people are going to do all that is within our power and ability to make the LDP major Australian Party with 100,000 paid up members by the end of this year.
They need money and I have signed up for a 5-year membership which is $300. Others will not be able to do that so you can join as a General Member ($80) or Concessional Member ($40).
Become a Member - Liberal Democrats (ldp.org.au)
Here is what I ask of you:
Heed Teddy’s call and give the politics of your country some of your time
Join a political party, if not the LDP, then one of the others and work to make change from within. I chose to help create a new major party; you might choose to save your current party. Both are legitimate and worthy choices. But make a choice and give it some of your time and resources.
If you join me in the LDP, then commit to bringing 3 other members to the party and have them commit to do the same. We need numbers and we need good people who believe that this country is worth saving from the two-party system that is destroying the best address on earth.
But before you do anything, please read their COVID Policy and decide of these guys are the real deal or not. If they are reasoned, proportionate and decent. If you think they are, then join us and help make this the major force in Australian politics that it can and deserves to be.

3. More Good than Bad People
Depending on how you define those words I think the ratio is about 50 to 1, or about 2% of the population.
So, in any given room of a random group of Australians there are 2 genuine dickheads (the school yard bully) and the rest are some shade of normal/good. The problem is that these people have disproportionately gravitated to politics, and they are the people now running this shitshow.
We each are to blame for that, including myself, which is why I have now joined the LDP.
The future is not pre-determined, it can be reshaped and that I as an individual can reshape it. I would prefer to live in this world with Walter White’s orientation: “I am the one who knocks”.
Enough good people can stop the bad guys.
“Let not any one pacify his conscience by the delusion that he can do no harm if he takes no part, and forms no opinion. Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing. He is not a good man who, without a protest, allows wrong to be committed in his name, and with the means which he helps to supply, because he will not trouble himself to use his mind on the subject.” John Stuart Mill 1867
4. The English Premier League
I like my football and the new EPL season has started. I lived in Leeds for 5 years and have decided they are my team this year (yes, I do flip-flop, generally from one underdog to the next).
The new season last weekend and here is an image from the Tottenham vs Man City game.
Stadiums packed, no masks (hardly any anyway), no social distancing, this is all at a time where cases in the UK look like this, almost 40,000 new cases per day!!
So, what does that mean, it means there is a version of the world in the future that is much better than this version we are currently in. So, to all the young folk especially, I am optimistic that the current pressure cooker that they have created in Australia will crack soon enough and there are better times not too far ahead. We need to stay strong and keep our chin up, knowing that it will get better.
5. Vaccine Passports
I am an optimist around vaccine passports (VP), there is something that is fundamentally untrue about them and although they are being rolled out in different places, and maybe even here, I don’t think it will survive. There are many reasons for saying that, but in its simplest and purest form VPs are a COST to the individual. Even if you are vaccinated, you have to keep getting vaccinated because they are ineffective, and every new jab is another health COST, less and less people will keep going back for the jab as they get more frightened by them and they hear more and more about the damage they are causing.
So, the medium term for repeated vaccination is downhill, not up. Less and less people will get multiple jabs…which is the whole basis of VPs working in the long run. You can already see it in the data in Oz, between the ages of 50-75, after their first jab they are reluctant to go back for the second. The blue bars are the people who took the first jab, and the orange are those that went back to get the second. The blue bars are a nice curve, but the orange bars fall over (they also should be a curve) because they are older and are feeling the adverse reactions far more and are very reluctant to go back for the second…this trend will continue.
The other COST of the VPs is the house arrest cost. If you have a VP it is because you are going to use it to get into places, it means you have plugged into more and more contact tracing, which means that when a case is spotted (the vaccinated still get cases!) you will be pinged and put under house arrest.
So image that you and your mates want to go to the pub, and all of you are vaccinated and all of you have VPs, but there is a small niggle in the back of your mind because you know that although you will get into the pub, you also might get pinged and you cannot afford to roll the dice on 2 weeks of house arrest, so you don’t go and less and less of your friends go, so the pub eventually gives up enforcing it because none of their customers are coming. So, that is the COST of the VPs, it’s an invisible cost but it’s very real. So, there is far more pressure against VPs working than in favour, even if in the short term they are rolled out by brute force.
Bottom line, I am optimistic that we will prevail, but I don’t want others to save me, I want to save myself by helping push the solution, within my family, within my friends and within my community, and now within my political party.
6. A Movement License and a Yellow Star
Language is important and euphemisms can put the mind to sleep.
This tweet touched on the truth of what a vaccine passport is, it’s a Movement License.
Plenty of people are advocating for vaccination as “the only way out”. A good friend of mine used that exact language in a recent Facebook post. But as Jesus said: “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do”.
18 months later I am really struggling to give people the benefit of the doubt, and for many I have stopped doing it, but their remains a whole swath of otherwise good people that are so deeply misinformed that I end up quoting Jesus.
So, let’s slowly follow the bouncing ball of a seemingly innocent idea, that “vaccination is the only way out”. Let’s put aside that it is fundamentally UNTRUE and let’s assume it to be true for the purpose of this bouncing ball exercise.
So, if you are an advocate of vaccination as the only way out…
Then you are advocating for vaccination targets so we can get out…
Which means you are advocating for mandates and coercion to get to the targets so we can get out…
Which means that you are advocating for vaccine passports to know who is helping to get to the target and who isn’t…
Which means that you are advocating for a digital system to discriminate between the collectivists and the individualists, between the healthy and the unhealthy, between the clean and the unclean etc…
Which means you are advocating for medical apartheid…
Which means you are advocating for a two-tier society with some people digitally marked…
Which means you are advocating for a yellow star system…
Summarised, if you are for “vaccination as a way out” or any of the other steps along the way, then you are knowingly of unwittingly for a yellow stars…
If you ever thought to yourself, “if I was in Nazi Germany, I would have stood up for the Jews” well it turns out, you wouldn’t.
Be careful what “simple ideas” you walk around supporting, whether in your own mind or with family and friends.
Personally, anyone that has called the cops on anyone else, is out and anyone who advocates for yellow stars is also out. Some people don’t know that is what they are doing, but if I get to explain it to them and they still insist on yellow stars, then they are out too.
The people advocating for yellow stars don’t realise that they are also advocating for a license to move, a Movement License. If you need regular injections to go to the pub, then you are advocating for your own restriction of movement. You cannot move from here to here without this piece of paper. You cannot go to the pub, gym, indoor event, shopping centre, another State, another country, without this piece of paper. That paper is your License.
So, before you walk around echoing the states propaganda, slow down your thinking and decide whether you are the type of person who really wants to stick yellow stars on people and whether you want your personal movement licensed by the state and conditional on regular injections.
And just to top it off, this from an Oxford Uni study published in The British Journal of Medicine, published 3 days ago:
7. Mandatory Taxation and Mandatory Vaccination
Taxation is not optional, it is mandatory. The government doesn’t need to coerce you to pay your taxes, the entire architecture of the country is built around mandatory taxation.
Mandating vaccination and coercing vaccination is a distinction without a difference. Saying that without vaccination you go to jail or without vaccination you cannot buy food or travel overseas to see you children is a distinction without a difference, so I will just call it mandatory vaccination.
Taxation takes wealth from those that have it and gives it to those that don’t have it. The balance of how much to take is always up for grabs.
Mandatory vaccination is a health tax. It takes from those that have it and gives it to those that don’t. Well, that is the utopian idea anyway. All collectivism is built around some utopian greater good.
Tax the young and give to the old.
Tax the health and give to the unhealthy.
Here is the age distribution of PCR+ deaths in the US as at Feb 2021 (from the CDC)
0.2% were in the under 25.
93% were in the over 55.
So, blind Freddy can see that it is not a risk to the young. More kids die of the common flu than they do of COVID.
So, if something is not a risk to you, then a medical intervention must be for someone else. Yes, it is. It is for the “greater good” which is a euphemism for “the old and unwell”.
Here are the 2 ideas required to tax the health of the young:
The young are at risk from COVID
o There is no shortage of propaganda on this. Anyone who says that to you is either uninformed or lying
The young can spread it to me
o There is no honest research to support the idea that the young contribute to spread
o The Iceland study of mid 2020 put this to bed, they tested EVERYBODY on the island and then tracked and traced ever single infection. Children as spreaders was proven false. But nobody wanted to know, and we still ended up shutting schools all over the world because of terrified teachers and their unions
So, there you have it, the 2 foundations of the Health Tax are bogus.
If you are an old person and are advocating to take from the health of the young for yourself then I urge you to stand in front of the mirror and witness what evil looks like.
Even if vaccines worked and were safe, taxing the young and healthy for the sake of the old and frail is rotten foundation for a decaying society.
While at the CDC this is another good graph for context. PCR+ deaths as a portion of all deaths in the US.
8. The Freedom Numbers: Inalienable vs Provisional
The IFR of COVID is 0.15% (on par with the flu), it was 0.23% last year (again on par with a bad flu season).
I have explained this repeatedly to anyone that would listen, and clearly the objective has been to help them recalibrate their fear around reality. People are simply terrified of COVID and many believe that it is hundreds of times more deadly than it actually is. So, obviously numbers are required to dial down the fear.
But the eventual problem with this necessity is that even if people do accept that its “flu like” in its societal threat, they are supported in the primary belief that if it wasn’t flu like and if it was indeed much more deadly than the flu, then all the of societal destruction would be justified. Unfortunately, it’s a no-win position because it’s anchored around numbers rather than principles.
The principle is that we have inalienable rights, and that a civil society is built around the freedoms and sovereignty of the individual and her inalienable rights.
Even if: it was Ebola, and lockdowns worked perfectly, a vaccines were safe and affective…
The State should not: terrify the population, bankrupt a business, push a teenager to suicide, house arrest the entire population and put face nappies on them under threat of fine and prison and force you to take an experimental injection…
So, I don’t care if the IFR is 0.15% or 15%, it is the State’s responsibility and OBLIGATION to find solutions to problems that go AROUND my inalienable rights and not THREW them.
Because if the determining factor of whether it’s AROUND or THREW my inalienable rights is a number, then my rights were never INALIENABLE, they were PROVIOSIONAL pending a number.
My father’s cleaner said to him the other day: “I will keep coming around while case numbers are less than 500 per day”. She has been persuaded to put a number on her freedom and her livelihood and general well-being. The State didn’t even need to do it, they got her to do it to herself. Anyway, she’s not coming around at the moment.
9. The Vaccinated and Variants
Here is Dr. Janci Lindsay PhD
In case you think she is a quack, please take a moment here
Put simply, because the jabs are “leaky”, and they do not create immunity that “shuts down” infection and disease, the virus manages to shape-shift not just against your natural immunity but also against the leaky jab created immunity. That extra shape-shift is the process of creating BETTER variants.
Think of something that is anti-fragile such as bone. It requires pressure to strengthen, as you put more pressure on your bones, they develop and change and improve and strengthen, they shape-shift into something stronger and better. They are anti-fragile.
Viruses are also anti-fragile.
They “learn” from their opponents unless their opponents kills them first. Their main opponent is the natural immunity “grid” and in fighting that opponent their vary and change in their attempt to side step it. During that fight, you are not meant to introduce another opponent (something we have long known) so that you don’t put more pressure on the virus that will TEACH it how to get even better. You do not mass vaccinate during a pandemic.
And you especially don’t do it with leaky and ineffective jabs that simple act as “training and sparring” parents for the virus.
In summary, the vaccinated created much better variants.
An awkward truth I know, but it is what it is.
10. Dr. Tess Lawrie
Dr. Tess Lawrie is a world-class researcher and consultant to the World Health Organisation. Her biggest clients happen to be those who are involved in the suppression of repurposed drugs. She has decided to speak out in protest against the current medical establishment at considerable personal risk.
This is a wonderful 20-minute interview with this amazing woman.
Dr. Tess Lawrie | Oracle Films
She discusses both Ivermectin and vaccines.
Ivermectin is very cheap, safe and effective for both treating COVID and preventing COVID.
Cheap: 3 cents a tablet
Safe: see table below, its safer than Vitamin C!
Effective: 24 randomised controlled trials across 15 countries. Prevented death by 62% and a reduction in the risk of infection (prevention) by 86%
Ivermectin works, something that has been known as early as April 2020 and it is cheap and safe.
It has been withheld from billions of people around the world.
The withholding of this and other solutions (in Australia also) has led to the purposeful and permissible death of millions.
It is a global, criminal obstruction of a lifesaving medication.
There is no money in this solution. Read my piece on The MGM Triad to understand.
She also discusses Ivermectin as a possible treatment for vaccine injury.
11. Adverse Reaction Databases
If you want to talk a walk down adverse reaction lane just in case the government is not telling you everything, make yourself a cup of tea and meander through these databases.
They are generally easy enough to use although some are easier than others. You will come face to face with a world of hurt and misery that has been suppressed and censored from your view.
Remember that every single one of these numbers is someone’s life and remember that all of these databases are UNDER-REPORTED.
Australian Data
Database of Adverse Event Notifications (tga.gov.au)
US Data
US Data (easier to use)
COVID Vaccine Data (openvaers.com)
WHO Data (type in: covid-19 vaccine)
European Data
European database of suspected adverse drug reaction reports
12. Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ): A short story
You probably haven’t heard of Vladimir Zelenko, that’s OK, most people haven’t.
I’ll tell you a bit about him next, but here is an open letter by him on 15 June 2021.
It’s a short story about HCQ. As with Ivermectin, it works, we knew it worked to save lives and this short story outlines the mechanics of malfeasance.
It is another Lego bit within The MGM Triad grand narrative.
People have been allowed to die.

14. Dr. Dan Stock
There is something about the American spirit that doesn’t quite exist here.
There is no shortage American doctors publicly standing up for what’s right and against that which is untrue.
But for the average person caught up in their mainstream media, Facebook and Instagram echo chamber, they simple do not come across this material. You have to go out and find it.
BitChute, Rumble and Odysee are examples of new platforms have emerged as safe places for this content, outside of the reach the censors and suppressors.
This is a very worthwhile 6 minutes.

15. A picture is worth 1050 words
A post from Paul Collits
A reader contacted me to show in graphic form my Spectator argument about Lies, Damned Lies and Covid Statistics. A picture is worth 1050 words, as they say. It provides perspective in the "crisis" that is driving lockdowns and all the other actions that crush freedom.

Wuhan wet market and critical thinking
shawn
4 hr ago
The NY Times is reporting two conclusive studies indicate the virus originated at the wet market in Wuhan not the lab. The attempt is to deflate the lab leak therory. I assume those that have something to hide are now trying to spin the new less damaging narrative, that includes the Times.
I am not qualified to discuss the science of lab leak / wet market.
I am absolutely quailified to discuss common sense.
1 Shanghai#~ — 28,242,992
2 Beijing⍟# — 21,167,303
3 Chongqing# — 16,687,641
4 Tianjin#~ — 13,929,152
5 Guangzhou13,839,587
6 Shenzhen12,740,171
7 Chengdu 9,412,873
8 Nanjing 9,320,689
9 Wuhan 8,546,775
10 Xi'an 8,438,050
According to sources available online the only lab capable of handling ‘The Virus” in China was at Wuhan. I dont know if thats true of course. Based on Chinas human rights record I suspect the military has hidden labs but I can’t confirm that of course.
Now the common sense:
Within China there are 50 cities or more that have a population of 1,000,000 +
Live food is traditional form of shopping/consumption in China but does vary with region I’m sure.
Any city with a population of 1,000,000 + would have several if not ten’s / possibly 100’s of live food markets to serve the population.
The virus surfaces in a city that has a live food market and a level 4 lab.
It didnt surface in any of the thousands of live food markets throughtout China in cities that don’t have level 4 labs.
As we say in Canada “im from Missoura, show me”
