Thought For the Day

 

 

Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.

I am guilty, guilty of being anti democratic, of not wanting to live under the tyranny of my neighbor’s misinformed or uninformed vote on issues that do not and should not even fall under the purview of the constitutional republican government. What was intended as a light cloak to protect against inclemency from without and for the promotion of tranquil liberty within, has become a straight jacket. The tyranny of democracy is upon us fully, with constrictions tightening, now slowly, now faster, almost daily, and with any expressions of resistance labeled as domestic terrorism.
Extrication will be difficult…a turnabout will be impossible without a mass return to GOD.

Earthly entities are transient.

The Constitution did not provide for an elected [fraudulently or otherwise] dictatorship. But, here we are.

This suppression of freedom is happening globally.

Let me tell you what’s going on in Australia at the moment:

Our state Premier in NSW last week extended hard lockdown and “don’t not leave your area” on 5 districts in Sydney. She also banned work on CONSTRUCTION sites!! What?! Even the state of Victoria didn’t close down Construction sites during their FIVE lockdowns so far.

So thousands took to the streets over the weekend in 3 states NSW, Victoria and Queensland- clashing with police. Otherwise hardworking, reasonable individuals who just want to go out and earn a living are now being labelled as looneys. With the MSM helping the government with its well-oiled propaganda machine.

Conveniently, on the MSM we are led to believe that a single healthy 30 year old woman died of Covid in Sydney yesterday. No proof to the public! I personally want proof of this. And this is the reason there is no end date for lockdown. They issued 300 fines and charged many for protesting, and mind you, being OUTDOORS protesting. They are urging fellow protestors and the public to snitch on the identities of the protestors!! And they are now saying these protests will be super-spreaders which will force longer lockdown.

But guess what: the BLM protests which has nothing to do with Australia, which had dumb Australians holding up pictures and signs of George Floyd, reached Australia and were participated in by thousands upon thousands around the country over multiple weekends with no fines issued with no police brutality which we saw against the protests over this weekend and which we were told resulted in no Covid outbreaks because these were WOKE protest- because at the time the MSM and State leaders told us you can’t catch it outdoors!!

All this while professional sports is still allowed to go on, the Prime Minister is allowed to travel the country with no restrictions or quarantine as though he isn’t human and you see he magically can’t spread Covid! We the public are too stupid to realise this you see.

But the weekends protest against the government irrational lockdowns (141 cases at worst in a population of 8 million) is saying the complete opposite and putting fear for denying us our freedom- our freedom to go to Church, to work, to earn money for our families, to move around without paranoia, to see our families, send our children to school…And the impact on the public is enormous and heavy. It’s a worrying time when protesting the governments policy-on-the-run is condemned as unlawful.

How else do you control a population and suppress them by telling them that any objection to the government is “domestic terrorism” and unlawful.

Excuse my rambling and ranting.
