Australia: Police Harass Resident For Going To Anti-Lockdown Protest ‘Six Months Ago’

<p><strong>Disturbing video out of the COVID penal colony Australia shows police officers harassing a resident over his social media posts criticizing the country’s draconian lockdown measures.</strong></p>
<p>Footage shows two officers confronting a man with printed copies of his Facebook posts indicating he may have attended an anti-COVID lockdown protest — six months ago.</p>
<p>“So, what are you here for? Are you here to serve me, or?” the man asked the officers.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" readability="3.0909090909091">

<p>The second officer appears to candidly reply: “It’s intimidation.”</p>
<p>The exasperated resident then sounded off on the officers’ blatant authoritarianism.</p>
<p>“Yeah, I know. It’s ludicrous, it’s like, sad,” the resident said, laughing in disbelief. “Where are we going in life? You’ve got the cops coming around here to tell me that I’ve been at a protest <em>six months ago</em>!”</p>
<p>“To ask you if you have been,” the first cop affirmed.</p>
<p>“Who gives a fuck?” the resident argued. “Why are you guys here? Why are you on my doorstep about a protest? Why? What the fuck do you want from me?”</p>
<p>“Because it’s illegal,” the officer claimed.</p>
<p>But the resident reminded her that Black Lives Matter protests occurred just “two weeks before that.”</p>
<p>“Was that illegal? You going off knocking on their doors? No, you’re not. Why are you working for this corrupt government? What are you guys doing? Who are you serving? Are you serving us, or are you serving the corrupt government and health officials who want no good for you? They aren’t there for you.</p>
<p>The officers ignored the man’s questions and again asked if he had attended a protest.</p>
<p>These types of incidents have been increasing in Australia in recent weeks as <a href="https://www.infowars.com/posts/insane-videos-show-australian-cops-battering-grocery-shoppers-protesters-fighting-back-chanting-freedom/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">anti-vaccine mandate protests</a> have been ramping up in the country.</p>
<p>Here’s another example of several cops showing up at a resident’s door to harass him about attending an anti-vaccine mandate protest.</p>
<p>“Have you gone to any protest in the past?” the policeman asked.</p>
<p>“No, I’m not going to answer that, you guys wouldn’t be here otherwise,” the man replied.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" readability="2.7083333333333">

<p>“Anything else you might want to tell us to help ensure the public safety?” an officer asked after grilling him about his “plans.”</p>
<p>“No, as long as you aren’t going around shooting people with rubber bullets like in Victoria,” the man said.</p>
<p>As Australia slides ever more into totalitarianism directed by a medical dictatorship, the frequency of these intimidating encounters with law enforcement will only increase as the country doubles down on the draconian vaccine mandates.</p>

15-year-old Boy who had the Pfizer Covid-19 Vaccine collapses and dies whilst playing football four days later

<p><strong>A 15-year-old boy collapsed and died whilst playing football four days after he had been given a second dose of the Pfizer mRNA Covid-19 injection.</strong></p>
<p>The boy sadly lost his life on the 22nd July 2021 according to a Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System report submitted on the 23rd July. The report, which can be found <span><a href="https://openvaers.com/openvaers/1498080">here</a></span> under VAERS ID: 1498080, states that the child “collapsed on [a] soccer field while playing soccer at a local camp”.</p>
<p>CPR was then reportedly started immediately before emergency services arrived and transported him to a medical centre. However, the boy sadly passed away.</p>
<p>The <a href="https://openvaers.com/openvaers/1498080">VAERS report</a> states the reason the boy collapsed was due to ventricular tachycardia; a condition which begins in the heart’s lower chambers, called the ventricles, causing a fast abnormal heartbeat defined as 3 or more heartbeats in a row, at a rate of more than 100 beats a minute.</p>
<p>If ventricular tachycardia persists for more than a few seconds at a time then it can become life-threatening, as the parents of this young boy have sadly discovered.</p>

<p>Thankfully no loss of life due to the conditions have yet been reported to the MHRA, however we do know that cardiac disorders due to the Covid-19 vaccines are disproportionally affecting younger males, and teens are only just beginning to be given the Pfizer Covid-19 injection, so the number of cardiac disorders reported as adverse reactions to the Pfizer jab is one to watch over the coming weeks to see if there is a significant increase on the 5,734 resulting in 98 deaths already reported.</p>
<p>The reason we know cardiac disorders are disproportionally affecting younger males is because the UK Medicine Regulator has said as much when they officially added myocarditis and pericarditis to the safety labels of both the Pfizer and Moderna injections.</p>
<p>Myocarditis is inflammation of the heart muscle, whereas pericarditis is inflammation of the protective sacs surrounding the heart. Both are extremely serious conditions due to the vital role the heart plays in keeping a person alive, and the fact that the heart muscle cannot regenerate. Serious myocarditis can lead to cardiac arrest and knock years off a persons life.</p>
<p>So it is perfectly possible that the Pfizer Covid-19 injection is entirely to blame for the 15-year-old boy’s sudden death whilst playing football.</p>
<p>However, it’s also interesting to note that the VAERS report states the boy had already suffered from Covid-19 just a couple of months prior in April 2021, meaning he would have already had anti-bodies against the virus. Therefore, he should have been at the back of the queue for an experimental Covid-19 injection that is already highly unnecessary for children.</p>
<p>Will we see similar cases in the UK? Time unfortunately will tell now that Chris Whitty, the Chief Medical Officer for England, has overruled the JCVI and ordered all children over the age of 12 to be vaccinated, but the evidence suggests we will more than likely see regular occurrences like the sad fate of the 15-year-old boy in New York, and the BBC are already conditioning the public to accept it.</p>
<p>The BBC aired a news report on October 2nd 2021 which attempted to normalise teens and young adults suddenly dropping dead due to “undiagnosed heart conditions”. The report was called ‘<span><a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-england-london-58686141">Running could cause sudden death for people like me</a></span>‘.</p>
<p>One of the statements made in the report was as follows –</p>
<p>“Every week in the UK, twelve young people die from an undiagnosed heart condition like mine. This is something a charity wants to change by screening every young person across the country for potential heart conditions”.</p>

<p>Lebanon’s <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/middle_east/lebanon-power-beirut-electricity-collapse/2021/10/09/e2588e88-28fb-11ec-8739-5cb6aba30a30_story.html">electricity failed</a> over the weekend, plunging the country into further <a href="https://www.vox.com/world/21451455/beirut-port-explosion-lebanon-political-crisis-hezbollah">difficulty</a> on top of <a href="https://apnews.com/article/beirut-middle-east-lebanon-business-4dbb84e6f2b43e0e1e1f090b592c0c04?utm_campaign=SocialFlow&utm_medium=APMiddleEast&utm_source=Twitter">economic collapse</a>, <a href="https://www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/lebanon/2020-08-14/corrupt-political-class-broke-lebanon">political corruption</a>, and a <a href="https://www.vox.com/2020/8/5/21355584/lebanon-beirut-explosion-economic-crisis">deadly port explosion</a> in Beirut last year.</p>
<p>Though limited power was <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-58861477">restored</a> Sunday after about 24 hours of outages, the collapse of the state-run electrical grid on Saturday is just the most extreme manifestation of a chronic fuel shortage that has plagued Lebanon for <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-58856914">the last year and a half</a>.</p>
<p>Lebanese citizens have struggled with the state’s electric company, Electricité du Liban, for years, and its shortcomings mean that private generators are common, at least for those who can afford them. Even in an ordinary week, it’s common for people to have as little as <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/life-grinds-halt-lebanons-blackouts-2021-08-13/">one or two hours</a> of daily electricity from the state grid.</p>
<p>But the crisis came to a head Saturday when the nation’s two largest power stations ran out of enough diesel fuel to provide even a few hours of electricity in a country already confronted with multiple crises.</p>
<p>The Deir Ammar and Zahrani power stations shut down in quick succession over the weekend after fuel ran out, leaving Lebanon’s population of more than 6.8 million people without public power. The blackout comes just over a week after the government allowed a contract with a <a href="https://apnews.com/article/business-middle-east-lebanon-beirut-07429c4a33c544bd6994a749c745834d">Turkish company</a> supplying power via two barges off the coast of Beirut to lapse, cutting off that energy supply.</p>
<p>Though common, private generators proved insufficient during the outage — as Beirut-based journalist Bel Trew <a href="https://twitter.com/Beltrew/status/1446808827626729474?s=20">pointed out on Twitter Saturday</a>, not only are such generators incredibly expensive to run and equally subject to Lebanon’s fuel shortages, but they do little to keep essential services like hospitals running.</p>

</div>
<p>According to Washington Post reporters Nader Durgham and Liz Sly, even before the weekend’s outage, chronic fuel shortages meant that hospitals have been “forced to suspend operations or halt vital procedures,” among a slew of other issues.</p>
<p>“It is drastic, and it has been drastic for a while,” <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/middle_east/lebanon-power-beirut-electricity-collapse/2021/10/09/e2588e88-28fb-11ec-8739-5cb6aba30a30_story.html">Lebanese Energy Minister Walid Fayyad told the Post</a>. “With a few hours a day people can go about their basic needs for a couple of hours, and of course it is better than nothing, but the situation is dire and we need more than a few hours a day.”</p>
<p>But Lebanese citizens put the situation in starker terms.</p>
<p>“We have forgotten what electricity means,” Abdul-Hadi al-Sibai, a Beirut taxi driver, told the <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2021/10/10/world/middleeast/lebanon-electricity-outage.html">New York Times</a>.</p>
<p>A <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/lebanese-power-outage-will-last-few-days-government-official-2021-10-09/">6 million-liter fuel donation</a> from the Lebanese armed forces brought power back on Sunday, ahead of the schedule <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/lebanese-power-outage-will-last-few-days-government-official-2021-10-09/">originally predicted by Lebanon’s central government</a>. However, it’s not a permanent solution — <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/lebanese-power-outage-will-last-few-days-government-official-2021-10-09/">according to Reuters</a>, the new supply of fuel will only be enough to keep the lights on for three days. A shipment from Iraq is set to boost the fuel supply later this month, according to <a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2021/10/9/fuel-shortage-forces-shutdown-main-lebanese-power-plants">Al Jazeera</a>, and the energy ministry announced Sunday that it had received a <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/lebanon-energy-ministry-says-received-approval-100-million-fuel-import-credit-2021-10-10/">$100 million fuel credit</a> from the central bank of Lebanon, so that the country can again pay to import fuel.</p>
<p>Lebanon has dealt with energy problems for decades; hours-long outages have long been a part of everyday life. But the country’s current <a href="https://www.vox.com/2020/8/5/21355584/lebanon-beirut-explosion-economic-crisis">economic crisis</a>, combined with <a href="https://theconversation.com/pandora-papers-as-ordinary-lebanese-suffer-elite-secretly-drain-off-billions-169383">political corruption</a>, has turned what was once a serious, but for many, manageable inconvenience into a far more acute crisis.</p>
<p>“There is no fuel and limited generation, so the variation in frequency is ruining the grid,” Marc Ayoub, an energy researcher at the American University of Beirut, explained to <a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2021/10/9/fuel-shortage-forces-shutdown-main-lebanese-power-plants">Al Jazeera</a>.</p>
<p>The shutdown comes as Lebanon is experiencing shocking hyperinflation; the Lebanese lira, which is pegged to the dollar, has dropped <a href="https://www.the961.com/todays-lebanese-lira-us-dollar-exchange-rate-october-8th-2021/">90 percent in value</a> since fall 2019 and is currently trading about 18,900 lira per dollar on the black market. Prior to Lebanon’s <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2021/08/04/world/lebanon-crisis.html">2019 economic implosion</a>, the exchange rate was 1,500 lira per dollar.</p>
<p>That astronomical inflation makes <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2021/07/05/world/middleeast/lebanon-economic-crisis.html">ordinary goods like medicine</a> hard to come by, much less enough fuel to power an entire country.</p>
<p>Critically, the compounding crises have serious political implications, both internally and outside of Lebanon. Hezbollah, the Iran-backed Shia militant group — which is part of Lebanon’s government, although the US has designated it a terror group — brought in gasoline fuel by the truckload from Iran via Syria, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2021/09/16/world/middleeast/lebanon-hezbollah-iran-fuel.html">according to a New York Times report</a> last month, apparently flouting US sanctions.</p>
<p>Currently, <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/middle_east/lebanon-power-beirut-electricity-collapse/2021/10/09/e2588e88-28fb-11ec-8739-5cb6aba30a30_story.html">according to the Washington Post</a>, those US sanctions are also a major obstacle to a plan for Lebanon to import gas from Egypt via Syria, which could improve the long-term outlook for Lebanon’s power grid. That could soon change, as US ambassador to Lebanon Dorothy Shea <a href="https://english.alarabiya.net/amp/News/middle-east/2021/08/19/US-to-help-Lebanon-with-electricity-Lebanese-presidency">confirmed</a> in August that the Biden administration is seeking “real, sustainable solutions for Lebanon’s fuel and energy needs.”</p>
<p>For the time being, however, the Lebanese government has been conspicuously absent in responding to the interconnected crises facing the country, despite the fact that Lebanon <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-58516034">formed a new government last month</a>. That absence has only served to highlight Hezbollah’s ability to deliver basic goods where the central government fails, potentially giving the group a larger foothold in the country.</p>
<p>Lebanon’s new government is also its first functional administration since a major explosion rocked its capital, Beirut, last year, <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-58516034">according to the BBC</a>. In the aftermath of that crisis, the existing government <a href="https://www.vox.com/2020/8/10/21361816/lebanonese-government-resign-beirut-explosion-protest">resigned</a>, creating a stalemate that took <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/sep/10/lebanon-forms-new-government-ending-13-month-standoff">13 months to resolve</a>.</p>
<p>In June, the <a href="https://www.worldbank.org/en/news/press-release/2021/05/01/lebanon-sinking-into-one-of-the-most-severe-global-crises-episodes">World Bank</a> identified the collapse of Lebanon’s financial system as “in the top 10, possibly top three, most severe crises episodes globally since the mid-nineteenth century,” adding that there’s no sense of how the nation will recover from such a catastrophe.</p>
<p>Despite that severe diagnosis, global actors like the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund have thus far largely <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/who-pays-lebanon-faces-tough-question-imf-bailout-bid-2021-09-23/">declined to step in</a> due to a lack of faith in Lebanon’s government and its disinclination to deal with any of the several interconnected and deeply rooted crises facing the country.</p>
<p>Specifically, Lebanon’s 2019 financial collapse sprang from decades of bad economic policy: Ultra-wealthy, deeply entrenched public servants have long benefited from a peculiar political system and <a href="https://www.vox.com/world/21451455/beirut-port-explosion-lebanon-political-crisis-hezbollah">enriched themselves further</a> by <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/02/opinion/lebanon-protests.html">helping themselves to public funds</a>. From 2018 to 2020, the country’s GDP fell from $55 billion to $33 billion — a precipitous drop typically associated with the outbreak of conflict, according to <a href="https://documents1.worldbank.org/curated/en/394741622469174252/pdf/Lebanon-Economic-Monitor-Lebanon-Sinking-to-the-Top-3.pdf">a recent World Bank report</a>.</p>
<p>Calls for the resignation of the whole government, with the <a href="https://www.vox.com/world/2020/1/19/21073004/beirut-lebanon-protests-300-injured">rallying cry</a>, “All of them means all of them,” erupted in October 2019, after attempts to raise money by <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-50293636">taxing the use of WhatsApp</a>, the messaging service widely used both within Lebanon and to communicate with the rest of the world, including a large Lebanese diaspora.</p>
<p>That resignation did eventually <a href="https://www.vox.com/2020/8/10/21361816/lebanonese-government-resign-beirut-explosion-protest">occur</a> — but not until <a href="https://www.vox.com/world/2020/8/8/21359980/protesters-beirut-lebanon-blast-fall-regime">August 2020</a>, after a massive explosion in Beirut, caused by more than 2,700 tons of improperly stored ammonium nitrate, <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-53720383">killed hundreds</a>, injured thousands, and left hundreds of thousands homeless. The explosion <a href="https://www.reuters.com/article/us-lebanon-security-blast-wheat/after-blast-lebanon-has-enough-grain-for-less-than-a-month-minister-says-idUSKCN251190">also destroyed Lebanon’s major grain silo</a>, leaving the country with less than a month of reserves at the time. It also destroyed Beirut’s port area, which handled about 70 percent of the food imports in a country that <a href="https://www.ohchr.org/EN/NewsEvents/Pages/DisplayNews.aspx?NewsID=26194&LangID=E">imports about 85 percent of its food</a>.</p>
<p>Despite the popular outrage that drove Lebanon’s previous government to resign, there are signs that the <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-58516034">new administration</a>, led by Najib Mikati, a billionaire and Lebanon’s wealthiest man, will be more of the same. Mikati, who is now prime minister, has held the position twice before — meaning he comes from the exact system that plunged the country into its current upheaval.</p>
<p>That government, as <a href="https://www.vox.com/world/21451455/beirut-port-explosion-lebanon-political-crisis-hezbollah">Faysal Itani</a>, adjunct professor of Middle East politics and security at Georgetown University, wrote for Vox last year, is deeply entrenched, making it difficult to change, despite its many and obvious problems. As Itani explains:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Lebanon’s political system is the product of a decades-old power-sharing arrangement among leaders of Lebanon’s 18 religious sects, the most important being the Sunni and Shia Muslims and Maronite Christians. This system, known as confessionalism, parceled out political power according to sectarian quotas, with each sect usually led by one or several members of prominent political families.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Despite the lack of public services and the blatant corruption of those in power, Lebanese politicians have generally proved adept at playing up sectarian disputes and doing just enough to keep their constituents satisfied.</p>
<p>However, the depth of Lebanon’s current crises, exemplified by the outright collapse of the state power grid Saturday, means that the status quo of previous Lebanese governments might not be good enough going forward. Already, <a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2021/10/9/fuel-shortage-forces-shutdown-main-lebanese-power-plants">Mikati, the new prime minister, has pledged</a> to end the fuel crisis and restart talks with the IMF to shore up the economy, a potential lifeline for Lebanon — if he keeps his promise.</p>
