The ABC and Social Irresponsibility
The health situation in Italy is dire. Tragically, over 11,000 people have died in excess of 100,000 people have caught COVID-19 giving it the second highest number of cases outside of China. The question is, what caused this to be the case? While the reasons are clearly complex and multi-faceted, the well-meaning—but ultimately misguided—advice from key figures on the left are actually contributing to the crisis. Take for instance this tweet by the ABC’s chief economic correspondent, who tweeted recently: People around the world are dying alone Stop talking about the economy. We live in a community not an economy.…
WATCH: Media and Experts Push for People to Be Taken From Their Homes and Placed in Isolation Camps, Regardless of Symptoms
MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow sat down with Donald McNeil, science and health reporter for the New York Times, to discuss the harsh and stringent measures “experts” say are necessary to prevent the spread of coronavirus. According to McNeil, this is only the beginning. The real work of halting the virus begins with removing infected people from their homes and taking them to an isolation camp, even if they don’t feel sick, and show next to no symptoms. “First of all, you’ve got to get people who are infected out of their homes so that they don’t infect their family members,” McNeil…
Learner driver fined $1600 for “non-essential travel” during coronavirus lockdown
A Victorian teenager has been fined $1600 for driving with her mother, in breach of stage-three coronavirus restrictions. Hunter Reynold, a 17-year-old from Hampton, was pulled over by Victoria Police on the weekend and fined for non-essential travel after the pair drove about 30 kilometres from their home. The teen’s mother, Sharee, told 3AW’s Neil Mitchell that they didn’t think they were doing anything wrong since they weren’t in contact with anyone and had no intention of stopping anywhere. “[The officer] said we were too far from home,” Sharee said, “and we would cop a fine, and that Hunter would…
China Rewarded With a Seat on UN Human Rights Advisory Panel
As we’ve seen in recent weeks, the Australian Greens, the American Democrats, Extinction Rebellion and the Chinese Communist regime have attached their self-proclaimed sinless benevolence to the coronavirus crisis. Ignoring the fact that they waved dim-witted “you can’t do that, it’s racist” flags all over the media in response to early anti-coronavirus measures, sharp-witted governments put in place to stop the coronavirus. False accusations of racism which targeted travel bans top this list. Comparing the devastating toll in Italy with the relatively low impact of COVID-19 on Japan’s population, Mark Powell was right to note that Italy was invaded, and…
Are Our Fears of the Coronavirus Undermining Our Freedoms?
Escaping persecution and daily threats to our freedoms and rights under a suppressive Communist government, as a refugee family, we so appreciated the liberties that Australia afforded to us on our arrival. That’s why it is so painful for me, as a legal academic and lobbyist, to watch the current violations of our freedoms taking place, which are slowly corroding our fundamental freedoms and rights – all in the name of fear. As rational, thinking fee citizens involved in upholding the rule of law and engaging in political rights, it is important to take a step back as a nation…
How good is it to be an Aussie?
In the midst of social lockdown, I have started to take stock of just how fortunate I am to live in a country like Australia. After all, as a nation, we’ve had… Twenty-eight years of uninterrupted economic growth. A government that is so generous with its welfare payments that it borders on socialism. A world-class health system that would make most other countries green with envy. A police force largely characterised by professionalism and integrity. An essentially stable government, especially if you exclude the veritable revolving door of Prime Ministers. A part from a few drongos in Bondi and Manly,…
WATCH: Top WHO doctor pretends he can’t hear question, then ends video call after being asked about Taiwan
The assistant director-general of the World Health Organization (WHO) has ended a video call with an RTHK journalist after she asked him about Taiwan’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Yvonne Tong, of Hong Kong’s RTHK News, on Friday, interviewed Bruce Aylward, a senior advisor at WHO, who was adamant not to discuss Taiwan’s status with the organization. When asked if WHO would reconsider Taiwan’s membership, Aylward sat silently, staring at the camera for a good 10 seconds before pretending to not hear the question. When Tong repeated the question, Aylward told her to move to another question before appearing to…
U.N. wants to take 10% of the entire world’s income to fund their coronavirus program: “Shared Responsibility”
The United Nations Secretary-General, António Guterres, is asking nations to contribute at least 10 percent of the annual income of the entire world to fund a “stimulus package” that would be administered at an international level. According to Life Site News, the proposed plan would effectively place the United Nations in charge of propping up the economies of the world. If the plan is accepted, the organisation will be handed up to 10 percent of global income, the equivalent of approximately 8.7 trillion USD. Among the objectives of the plan, Guterres includes ‘attention to continued delivery of sexual reproductive health…
Nigel Farage’s Coronavirus-Era Warning: “Say No To House Arrest”
Whatever support Nigel Farage had for Britain’s total lockdown, now appears to be wavering. Although the Brexit mastermind was an early supporter of the anti-coronavirus, “stay home, save lives” policy, Farage is now asking the same questions, we here at Caldron Pool have been asking, in regards to government overreach and the absence of any assurance that civil liberties are being safeguarded. In his latest vlog, the chief architect of Brexit commented on the increasing ‘ridiculous, lacking in common sense interpretations of social distancing’ being applied in a heavy-handed repression of civil liberties by Western governments, saying that this repression…
The Remarkable Legacy of Dr Li Wen Liang
The world needs to remember the Christian faith and remarkable courage of Dr Li Wen Liang, who worked at Wuhan Central Hospital and was one of the chief whistleblowers regarding COVID-19. Dr Wen Liang himself died of the virus. He was only thirty-four. Australia’s Sixty Minutes provides a concise summary in the pivotal role that Dr Wen Liang played in uncovering the scandal, as well as how the Communist Chinese Government is now trying to “re-write history and [falsely] claim that it was transparent all along”: But another aspect to Dr. Li Wen Liang that should not be overlooked is…
Police tell residents to call 911 for “racist name-calling” after releasing 600 inmates and saying shoplifters won’t be booked
Police in Seattle are urging the public to call 911 to report “racist name-calling”, even if you are not sure that a hate crime has occurred. Seattle Police Chief Carmen Best said in a COVID-19 update on Monday that Washington State is no place for hate. In the one-minute video, which was shared on the department’s social media accounts, Best said: “We will document and investigate every reported hate crime, even racist name-calling should be reported to police. We take this information very seriously. “If you aren’t sure if a hate crime occurred call 911. We are here to help…
Are You Happy Now, Greta?
Has Capitalism Caused COVID-19? Apparently, the current coronavirus pandemic is not linked to the exotic eating habits of the Chinese but instead is due to “the climate change crisis”. Vijay Kolinjivadi, from Al Jazeera, argues that the common roots of COVID-19 and climate change are evidenced in two ways: The origin of the virus makes it a perfect example of how the way capitalism commodifies life to turn it into profit can directly endanger human life. In this sense, the ongoing pandemic is the product of unrestrained capitalist production and consumption patterns and is very much part of the deleterious environmental changes…
We Need Less Government to Treat Australia’s Economic Virus
COVID-19 is spreading across the globe, and no nation is immune to its economic symptoms. Governments have taken on various approaches to the illness, displaying no unified international plan of action, and that’s a good thing! Countries need to craft the solution that fits their unique profile, and Australia is no exception to this rule. Before I go any further, in the interest of full disclosure, I’ll say that the economic plan I’m about to endorse is one crafted by the Australian Taxpayers’ Alliance, of which I am the Communications Director. Do with that information what you wish, but what…
SIX MONTHS jail and $11,000 fine if you leave your house without a ‘reasonable excuse’
The New South Wales government has made it illegal for anyone to leave their house without an excuse that state politicians deem “reasonable.” According to the Public Health (COVID-19 Restrictions on Gathering and Movement) Order 2020, any person who is found in breach of the new public health order could spend up to six months in prison and/or be hit with an $11,000 fine, plus a further $5,500 fine for every day the offence continues. Corporations who don’t comply with the new emergency ministerial directives can also face a $55,000 upfront fine followed by a $27,500 fine per day for…
WATCH: Houston’s mayor asks criminals not to commit crimes UNTIL the coronavirus is over
Houston’s Democratic mayor has asked crooks and criminals to not commit any crimes until the coronavirus is over. Mayor Sylvester Turner made the request on Monday during a media briefing on the city’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic. “Until the coronavirus is resolved, criminals take a break,” Turner said. “Stay home. Ok? Stay home. And don’t commit any crimes and that way they’ll stay safe and out of jail and police officers will stay safe and can go home to their families. Ok? “So, everybody chill,” he added. “Crooks, criminals, you chill. Wait until the coronavirus is over.” WATCH:
CBS News busted using footage from Italian hospital when covering the NYC outbreak
CBN News has been caught using footage from an overcrowded Italian hospital during a report on the COVID-19 outbreak in New York City. According to the Daily Caller, the news outlet said, “an editing mistake” led to the network airing the misleading footage which was originally part of a March 22 Sky News report from Italy. A spokesperson for CBN News said the network has taken immediate steps to remove the footage from all platforms and shows. The outlet has been criticised on social media for spreading misinformation at a time of public panic. WATCH: During a Pandemic it is…
It’s not just the economy that faces collapse as a result of government action. It’s also Australian families.
The coronavirus pandemic reached Australia in January 2020. After three months of the epidemic in the country, the death toll has just risen to 18 after another elderly person, aged in her 80s, acquired the virus overseas a couple of weeks ago and died during the weekend at a Canberra Hospital. In Victoria, three people in their 70s died in March after being diagnosed with Covid-19. The death of a fourth man, in his 80s, was reported on 29 March. In the ACT a woman in her 80s became the territory’s first fatality on 30 March. In Tasmania, the first death has just…
NYC Mayor threatens churches: Close for coronavirus or be shut down PERMANENTLY
The New York City Mayor has warned, churches and synagogues that continue to conduct worship services during the COVID-19 pandemic could be permanently closed down. During his Friday news briefing, Mayor Bill de Blasio said, law enforcement will be sent to shut down any worship services held over the weekend in violation of the ban on gatherings. If the congregation fails to comply, additional action will be taken, including fines and potential permanent closure of the building. “I want to say to all those who are preparing for the potential of religious services this weekend: If you go to your…
Italy and #CoronaRacism
The health situation in Italy is dire. Tragically, over 8,000 people have died and around 80,000 people have caught COVID-19 giving it the second highest number of cases outside of China. The question is, what caused this to be the case? Back in February, Dr Jing Zeng wrote in The Guardian that there was no link whatsoever between COVID-19 and The People’s Republic of China. And those who dared to suggest that there was were guilty of #CoronaRacism. As such, many in the mainstream media have followed the explanation of Matt Simon in Wired, who argued that there was no…
Are oppressive totalitarian measures necessary in order to fight against coronavirus?
There’s a thin line between governments waging a war against a crisis, and governments waging a war against people caught up in that crisis. It’s the crossing of this line; the potential, and perhaps eventual, overreaction through disproportionate measures, that have sparked an increasing number of centrist and conservative thinkers to question these heavy-handed measures, along with anything, and everything, labelled “the new normal”. The more we learn about the coronavirus, the more important it is to question whether the heavy-handed measures being taken against the coronavirus are proportionate to the fight against it. Peter Hitchens was the first to…
