Wow! Now you can get arrested if you might commit a crime

This is Australia- well its socialist enclave of Victoria- in 2020. The pandemic is the excuse our petty dictators needed to just ignore the rule of law altogether.

Pre-Crime: Victorian Government Pushes for Powers to Preemptively Arrest Anyone, Even If They Haven’t Broken the Law

Mainstream media are finally reporting on the Victorian government’s new bill to hand authorities the power to arrest anyone, even if they have not committed an offence.

10 News Melbourne reports: “[The] new law would give police the power to preemptively detain anyone with COVID or their close contacts even if they haven’t broken the law. All that’s required is that the officer thinks they might breach restrictions in the future.”

The report notes that the Health Department could also empower non-police, such as Public Safety Officers or Work Safe Inspectors, to preemptively detain citizens.Advertisement

The new legislation places “no limit on detention time, no legislative oversight and no clear avenue for appeal.” Those detained could be placed in quarantine facilities to be monitored by authorities.

The law could see the arrest, not only of anyone the state deems a “conspiracy theorist” and therefore likely to neglect current restrictions, but also their family members and close contacts even if a crime has not been committed.

Mario Murillo: The Democrats Are The Party of Atheism

DEMOCRATS: THE PARTY OF ATHEISM

 

Atheism can never just ‘coexist’ with Christianity. It is working to eradicate Christianity. The Democrat Party has embraced atheism, and has gone so far as to call it its biggest base.

Many are going to rail against this blog. But no one—no matter how outraged they become—will be able to controvert two facts: Atheism is proactively anti-Christian, and: Democrats have gone atheist.

We will take the second fact first. Here is what Democrats say about themselves:

“The Democratic National Committee (DNC) passed a resolution praising the values of “religiously unaffiliated” Americans as the “largest religious group within the Democratic Party.”

The resolution, which was unanimously passed at the DNC’s summer meeting on Aug. 24th this year in San Francisco, California, was championed by the Secular Coalition of America, an organization that lobbies on behalf of atheists, agnostics, and humanists on public policy. The group celebrated the DNC’s move as the first time a major party “embraced American nonbelievers.”

“Religiously unaffiliated Americans overwhelmingly share the Democratic Party’s values,” said the resolution, which adds that they should advocate for “rational public policy based on sound science and universal humanistic values.”

‘Sound science and humanistic values’ are their excuse to remove the civil rights of those who insist on believing in God.

You doubt me? Sarah Levin, director of governmental affairs for the Secular Coalition of America, praised it as a way “to ensure that policy is driven by science and evidence, not sectarian beliefs.”

That means that any part of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, considered by atheists to have come from “sectarian beliefs,” can be removed.

Result: No prayer. No worship. No church.

Again, do you doubt their intention about religious liberty? Right after ratifying their atheistic platform, Democrats took a shot at believers who use “religious liberty” to threaten the civil rights of LGBTQ Americans. What they really mean is the other way around. They will use this platform to not just threaten, but remove the civil rights of Christians.

Wake up! They want to overrule the Constitution to erase freedom of religion.  Christianity is their target.

Now let’s look at atheism itself. The Bible is not vague about atheism. Psalms 14:1, “The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none who does good.”

Why does the Word of God take such a harsh tone toward atheism? Simple, look at the fruit of atheism:

The taproot of Marxism is atheism. Marxism has killed 100 million people in the last century. Atheism provided the vacuum of conscience needed to ethnically cleanse Russia, China, North Korea and many other places where it operates as the engine of a culture. When the Bible says, “they have done abominable works,” it isn’t kidding.

Atheists suffer from elevated rates of depression and suicide, which they admit. Staks Rosch is a vocal atheist, humanist, and progressive. Writing in the Huffington Post he said, “Depression is a serious problem within the greater atheist community and far too often, that depression has led to suicide. This is something many of my fellow atheists often don’t like to admit, but it is true.”

Denial is not a new thing to the atheistic mindset. Atheistic Democrats claim to rely on science, but only when it suits them. Biology clearly and emphatically recognizes only two genders. Ludicrously, Gavin Newsom said that he based his decision to illegally close churches on science, but when confronted with biology, he noted that there are things more important than science.

The Democrat agenda blatantly believes many things are more important than science when it comes to climate, morality, equality and environmentalism. That is why the no-God-driven leftist policies of the West Coast are consuming entire states in wildfires, riots, addictions, and every misery known to man.

Democrats turn a blind eye to the scientific process when it comes to accountability. Their policies have imprisoned minorities in violence, despair and poverty. Do they rethink or reevaluate their catastrophic experiments as scientists would? Never!

It is time for every weak-willed Christian, sitting on the fence, to wake up to the agenda of atheism. Richard E. Simmons in his book Reflections on the Existence of God, compared Christianity and atheism by saying this: “They are not just two separate views of life; they are opposing, mutually exclusive, views, delivering opposite conclusions about the meaning of life and our existence as human beings.”

Atheism then, provides the necessary inhumanity required to justify dismembering a baby, in some cases cutting its vocal cords so that the team can’t hear it screaming. Atheism was the inevitable conclusion of a political party that needed a construct in order to live with blatant hypocrisy, complete fabrications of social conditions, and out and out hatred for American history and Judeo-Christian values.

And, indeed, if you vote for them, you are denying your faith.

Queensland Hypocrisy

I think what rankles many people about the Queensland border issue, apart from the horrible consequences it is bringing, is the breath-taking hypocrisy of the women leading it- the Premier and her Chief Medical Officer.

Yesterday they stated that to open the border with NSW would require 28 days of no new cases in NSW.

They have not even achieved that in Queensland. By this standard, there should be a hard border with Brisbane- nobody in or out of the State capital.

And don’t forget that most of NSW- ie the bits outside of Sydney- achieved this months ago but they still say that the whole of NSW is a “hot spot.” In fact some LGA’s, such as Narrabri Shire, have never had a single case of corona virus.

Meanwhile businesses near the border (on both sides) are closing because they rely on customers across the border. People are missing out on vital health treatments because Queensland Health Department officials will not allow them to enter “their” hospitals. For some farmers, the first harvest they have had in 3 years may be jeopardised if they cannot get workers, contractors or repairers across the border.

But at least they got the AFL Grand Final in Brisbane.

Jo Nova: WA Secession Looking Popular

Jo Nova writes that hard borders are popular in the West:

Freedom and hard borders are 96% popular — a third of West Australians want to secede

A telling incident in Western democracies about borders

Western Australia, WA. Map.The electoral power of strong borders is vastly underestimated.

Western Australia has hard borders at the moment, and no coronavirus — other than a few cases getting caught in the mandatory quarantine. That’s 2.5 million people who are almost living a normal life.  This is not to boast (we wish you could be here), but to point out how politically popular closed borders are in the current pandemic. The Premier is wildly popular, polling close to 90%. To all the people who said “states can’t close borders” the message is that it’s bonkers not to close borders. When the Commonwealth government joined the bizarre High Court push to force them open, the pushback was ferocious. A poll today showed that West Australians are fed up. The West Australian collected 245,000 signatories to a petition supporting the border closure.

Not only do 96% say the borders should stay shut, but when asked, a whopping 34% of Western Australians said the state should secede. How fast did it come to that?

Never, have I seen such vitriol towards the Commonwealth from WA. …the Commonwealth’s decision to effectively join hands with Palmer in the Federal and High courts risked making Morrison and the Federal Liberals public enemy No.1 here in WA. It beggars belief that the Morrison Government would ever let it get to this point, that the Federal Government would ever be part of any legal action to force WA to open its borders.

– Joe Spagnolo, Columnist, The West Australian (Paywalled)

Presumably that anger will be lower now that the Commonwealth has pulled out of one of the most stupid cases they were ever involved in.

WAxit: Exclusive new survey results show one in three West Australians wish to secede from the nation

The West Australian

Exclusive polling conducted by The West Australian showed 34 per cent of the 837 people surveyed this week support the move for WA to become a separate nation.

Close to three quarters of West Australians said that since the COVID-19 pandemic the Federal Government has put the needs of the eastern states ahead of West Australians. More than 35 per cent of those canvassed by Painted Dog Research strongly agreed with the statement that Canberra is too focused on the needs of the eastern states which has been to the detriment of WA.

Only last week Scott Morrison was saying he was sure WA would lose in the High Court and he had some mealy mouth words about doing it to protect us. But faced with a Liberal Party wipe out coming in WA elections, and the growing debacle of “open borders” on the East Coast, where infections are spreading, he finally backed down. The question is, what was he thinking in the first place?

Jo Nova: NIMBY Bob Brown Says Wind Farms Are Ugly

The hypocrisy of environmentalists in general, and Greens politicians in particular, is always a source of bemusement. Bob Brown is a great proponent of wind farms in other places.

Jo Nova writes

Former Greens leader Bob Brown campaigns against wind farm

Do we need wind farms to save the world or not? Not, says Bob Brown.

People can have sleep and health and their views destroyed, but that didn’t matter til a farmer on a remote island off Tasmania made a deal to build one of the largest wind “farms” in the world.

Graham Lloyd, The Australian

Former Greens leader and veteran activist Bob Brown is campaigning to stop a $1.6 billion wind farm development in Tasmania because it will spoil the view and kill birds.

The proposed Robbins Island wind farm in Tasmania’s northwest will be one of the world’s biggest, with up to 200 towers measuring 270m high from ground to blade tip.

He’s written a letter protesting about the view:

Despite the criticisms levelled at former prime minister Tony Abbott and treasurer Joe Hockey for describing wind turbines as “ugly”, Dr Brown said the Robbins Island plan was, visually, a step too far. “Mariners will see this hairbrush of tall towers from 50km out to sea and elevated landlubbers will see it, like it or not, from greater distances on land,” Dr Brown said. “Its eye-catchiness will divert from every coastal scene on the western Bass Strait coastline.”

So Tony Abbott was right. It will be good to hear that apology.

After millions of birds bats and who-knows-what-else has been killed, now he cares:

In his letter on the wind farm, Dr Brown wrote: “Besides the impact on the coastal scenery, wind turbines kill birds. Wedge-tailed eagle and white-bellied sea eagles nest and hunt on the island. Swift parrots and orange-bellied parrots traverse the island on their migrations.”

The birds are just a “beside”.

Reap what you sow — a belief based on superstition with no underlying principles means sooner or later Greens reveal their inner hypocrite.

The ABC reported on this project in Dec 2017. The industrial wind plant was only going ahead if they could also build a second interconnector across the Bass Strait, something the company said it would pay for if it got approval. For some strange reason the Tasmanian Government was spending $20m investigating the business case first…

Why are taxpayers worried about a business case if the company was the one risking the money?

The Hammond family farm high quality Wagyu beef.

 Robbins Island farmer John Hammond sees the wind farm as a way to keep the Island in the family.

For his sake, we hope cows do better than people do when assailed by infrasound from giant machines. John Hammonds kids may inherit a farm where no animal thrives. Some “farm”.

The ABC also report that the same company, UPC Renewables, raised the ire of Tasmanians two weeks ago regarding a 170km proposed transmission line. The company said they’d consulted and most people were “on board”. But people were not and just three days later the boss changed his tune saying he “misread the people”.

The ABC have not mentioned Bob Brown yet.
