No, I’m not here to talk about Wolff’s Law, which basically says that if you put the human body under stress in specific ways, the body will react and adapt to it and become stronger. (That, incidentally, is how powerlifters put on vast amounts of muscle mass and strengthen bones and tendons rapidly, and how muay thai fighters build up shin-bones and fists of stone.) I’m talking about what happens when the people of a nation give up their rights and freedoms and meekly surrender to their governments.

We are seeing exactly this happening in the Antipodes. Our friends and brothers in Australia and New Zealand are now living under some of the harshest, stupidest, most expensive, most pointless, and utterly ridiculous Kung Flu lockdowns in the world.

How bad is it? I’ll let someone who lives there explain.

Field Report

The following comes from a series of messages sent to me by a good friend and longtime reader, who is an eyewitness to the madness that has gripped his country:

Hi Didact, I am just letting you know what is happening in Australia, and honestly I’m just asking you pray for the Australian people. I am at my most stressed at the moment but I pray to the Lord to give me strength.

Now, if you don’t know much about Australia, it is broken up into states like the USA. Each state has some power, that the Federal Government cannot touch. Normally this is not an issue but recent events have pushed this system in very bad directions. Australia has not allowed its citizens to leave the country since 24th March 2020 (you can find more information here). Coming into or out of the country is almost impossible without special exemptions – even for Australian citizens. Now that is hard enough, but the last 2 months have been a nightmare for those living in Sydney. It has been in lockdown since 21 June 2021, and now the whole state of New South Wales will be in lockdown as well, starting from 22 August 2021.

We now have armed troops on the streets in Sydney. The police have been both arresting people and fining them for protesting. I did hear that the government is mandating 5 years in prison for breaking the lockdown to protest, but can not find an article to support this.

In Victoria, in the Australian Southeast, the entire state has been lockdown 5 times since the start of 2020, and is now in its 6th lockdown. It is easily the worst state to live in the entire country for the last 2 years. Now they are suffering under more lockdowns, and at one point they enforced a 5Km distance limit from your home. And now they are handing out huge fines as well to quarantine violators.

Turning to Queensland, all health workers there must be vaxxed. It is now requiring anyone travelling into or out of the State to be vaxxed even for essential work.

I live in one state and work in another. Now I can not work unless I get a jab for crossing the state borders. I don’t recognise my own country anymore. What was the point of wars in Afghanistan and Iraq if we end up worse than them?

Another good friend from the Antipodes, Adam Piggott the Gentleman Adventurer, has expressed similar sentiments. In short, Australia is F***ED, and its own government has bent its citizens over a barrel and raped them with a stack full of quarters. (Which, if you’ve ever actually seen Australian coins, is even more horrible than it sounds, given that their largest ones are polygons instead of circles.)

Bureaucrats Gone Wild

The situation in Australia is even worse than we realise, actually. Take a look at the latest set of headlines coming out of Australia about how the Minister for Health and Medical Research – an Orwellian construct if there ever was one – wants to take some 24,000 children from their parents (with their permission, natch) and inoculate them with a vaccine that is genuinely more dangerous for them than the Coof itself:

The whole “with parental permission” thing is disingenuous at best. The Australian government has made extremely clear that the restoration of one’s freedoms depends entirely on whether or not one submits to the vaccinations.

The Stupidity Pandemic

My friends, what you read above is a textbook description of what happens when people give up their freedoms for safety. And I’m not actually referring to the Scamdemic, which has been the most transparently ridiculous farce in human history.

I would not blame future generations for looking back at us with utter contempt for the ways in which we completely lost our minds over a disease where the primary causal agent has NEVER been isolated in a purified sample, and whose genome has therefore NEVER been accurately sequenced.

That last statement is correct and true, no matter how much the “fact-checkers” try to twist and tumble around it. Here’s what the CDC itself had to say back in 2020 about the issue of how the so-called “gold standard” RT-PCR test was calibrated to pick up the COVID-19 viral agent:

The analytical sensitivity of the rRT-PCR assays contained in the CDC 2019 Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) Real-Time RT-PCR Diagnostic Panel were determined in Limit of Detection studies. Since no quantified virus isolates of the 2019-nCoV were available for CDC use at the time the test was developed and this study conducted, assays designed for detection of the 2019-nCoV RNA were tested with characterized stocks of in vitro transcribed full length RNA (N gene; GenBank accession: MN908947.2) of known titer (RNA copies/µL) spiked into a diluent consisting of a suspension of human A549 cells and viral transport medium (VTM) to mimic clinical specimen [sic].

What you are seeing in Australia is precisely what the American Founding Fathers warned about with respect to giving up one’s rights for the illusion of safety. The highly dishonourable Australian tradition of doing this goes back quite a long way.

How Tyrants Grab Power

More than 25 years ago, in a place called Port Arthur, Tasmania, a man named Martin Bryant shot dead 35 people and wounded 23 others. The public outrage and grief in Australia following the massacre gave the government there the power and the ability to pass some of the strictest gun control laws anywhere in the Western world. And the Australian public complied, as usual, meekly and without a fight.

As long as the Australian government maintained the illusion of endless peace and prosperity, the Australian people were quite happy to stay fat, happy, and blind. I know. I lived there for 2.5 years and saw firsthand just how complacent the Australians were about their own freedoms – and that was more than 20 years ago. It took a long time before I could put that lackadaisical attitude about basic freedoms into context, and I could only do so when I came to America.

A big part of the reason behind the difference in outcomes has to do with the very different ways in which the two colonies established themselves. Here’s the tl;dr version of that history. Back in the day, the Limeys exported their worst malcontents to two different places. They shipped the God Squad out to America, and their convicts off to Australia. But the two countries were founded on VERY different philosophies and moral beliefs. When the pilgrims came to America to flee persecution for their religious beliefs, they established a form of government with the aim of protecting themselves from tyranny. The convict ancestors of the Australians, on the other hand, had been beaten and broken by an extremely harsh and brutal penal system, and as such were very much open to a similarly authoritarian form of rule.

The result is what you see today. In America, there is a lively debate about whether the government should have the right and the power to forcibly quarantine and isolate people – and in the red states, where people can be, and often are, armed to the teeth, the governments there have been decidedly more in favour of leaving their people the hell ALONE than in the blue states.

Panem et Circenses

Now I’m not saying that simply re-arming the populace would prevent what is happening in Australia. It won’t. Having arms, and having the willingness to stand and USE THEM, are two often quite different things. I am deeply sceptical of the notion that fat, slow, TV- and fast-food-addicted homeowners in Suburbia, USA, will ever actually rise up and go into full-on revolt against the government if the Fake President and the San FranciscHo ever decide to go into Stalin-mode on them.

The reality is that revolutions don’t happen because a majority of ordinary people rise up and overthrow the government. In fact, most revolutions take place because a relatively small minority of people with nothing left to lose get so fed up of the current system that they take matters into their own hands and fight back.

Look around you at most of America. Do you seriously imagine that this will happen? It won’t. Not until the government does something genuinely idiotic, like cutting off people’s Social Security benefits, or their food stamps, or any of the other dozens of tools that they use to keep the American people dumb, stupid, fat, and happy.

HOWEVER – and this is the critical difference between Americans and Australians – the fact that a huge chunk of the American population HAS THE POTENTIAL for lethal violence, IS in fact a strong check on overweening government.

Governments can, do, and will use bread and circuses to distract people from the proper protection and exercise of their rights. They always have done so and will continue to do so for as long as it is effective. But, contrary to popular imagination – and the immense, yet still limited, wisdom of the Founders – true tyranny does not come from hyper-concentration of power in the hands of one man. Vladimir Putin, the Neo-Tsar of Russia, has more power in his pinky than the Fake President has in his entire body (including his dentures). Yet the Russian people are considerably more free than their American counterparts. I know. I’ve lived in both countries.

No, true tyranny comes from giving power to faceless unaccountable bureaucrats who can make up laws as and when they please, and who get off (literally, in some cases) on being able to bend ordinary people into pretzels through their own machinations.

There Is No Running

So what, if anything, are we to do about this situation? What is someone like our good friend in Australia to do?

Many – I wager most – would run. There’s nothing particularly wrong with this, to be honest. If your own government basically declares you to be a public enemy and strips you of the rights to which your passport entitles you, then what, exactly, is the point of staying? Your government won’t protect you. It has betrayed and abdicated its primary function. So why continue to fund it?

But for a lot of people, running is not an option. It is expensive and really bloody scary. You have to be mortally afraid of something really terrible to cut and run away from your own home – that’s why people typically don’t evacuate except in the event of a natural disaster. (Or, as we’ve seen all too recently, the collapse of a puppet regime propped up by an Anglo-Zionist government that can’t even run a whorehouse competently.)

There are only two options: comply, or disobey.

Compliance is easy. You simply suck it up and watch as your government destroys your health, savings, business, and life, in exchange for the promise of your freedoms afterwards. We’ve seen this story play out in PommieBastardLande – the Motherland for the Aussies, or at least it used to be before they imported millions of Dirt Worlders – where the Limeyland gubmint happily and wilfully destroyed its people’s freedoms while holding out the promise of restoring them if everyone got jabbed with not-vaccines.

Interestingly, the Limeys actually did get their freedoms back – mostly. They still cannot travel without being ripped off massively by private testing firms that administer not-PCR tests at extortionate rates before they leave and after they come back. Australians cannot even claim this much.

Australia and New Zealand have adopted idiotic “zero-COVID” strategies. This isn’t going to work, especially given that the vaccinated individuals appear to be just as capable of transmitting the virus as those who refuse to get jabbed – in other words, the vaccines are not sterilising measures at all. So there will never be “zero COVID”, at all, at any point. And therefore the governments there will continue to destroy their people, with zero consequences.

Of course, they will do so “in the name of the public good”, and most of the idiots who vote in both countries will return them to power – that is the price of democracy. Namely, idiots are allowed to drive, procreate at will, and vote for other idiots.

If you choose to stand and fight – and you should – then you have to understand that you could lose EVERYTHING. You could be fined, jailed, beaten, persecuted, and left to rot by your own government. It’s a horrible fate. But if you actually want to defend your freedoms, then you have no choice.

Civil Disobedience is the Only Way

These tyrants aren’t going to stop until forced to do so. The Aussies and Kiwis have no means by which to defend themselves with force – they gave up that right decades ago, very stupidly. That leaves only outright disobedience. Most people will not disobey out of fear. Those who do, will be persecuted. But the only way to stop this madness is to stop giving in to it.

So, if you are in Australia (or New Zealand), stand firm. Refuse to comply. Go about your daily business as you would normally. Don’t stay indoors. Don’t pay the fines. Risk jail if you must. There is no other way.

These people rule over you because you fear them. You shouldn’t. They are weak, pathetic, spineless cowards themselves. They desperately hope that you don’t notice that fact. The moment that you and a few thousand other pissed-off people do notice it, the game is up and their hold over you is gone. So make it happen faster.

If you resist, you might lose everything now. If you comply, you will lose everything later. Decide which you prefer – and act.
