eagle, I don't blame any government for doing what they must to protect their population from the pandemic. From what I can see, the more severe the practices to shut down until the pandemic threat is over, the sooner things can get back to normal, at least until the next surge. I don't think that the protesters would care to see massive hospitalizations, suffering and death. Not being allowed out of your home certainly beats knowing that your mother is suffering and will probably die, and you can't even visit.

Liberty, Stalin was a mass murderer. The only mass murderer around here is Trump. He is guilty of allowing tens of thousands of Americans to die because he refuses to take this pandemic seriously. His response to the pandemic was and is, don't worry, we have it under control, China is to blame, Just take a little bit of this snake oil, what have you got to lose, It will go away by itself.
What rights are you being denied? The right to get sick and spread the covid virus to others by not wearing a mask? One of the finest Supreme Court justices Oliver Wendell Holmes once said, " the constitution isn't a suicide pact".

"Melbourne has Become a Living Hell"

Satanists Establish Police State in Melbourne

How easily disappear the veneer of civilization and democracy.


"Melbourne has become a living hell, not because of the virus (which is still mild) but because of the unleashing of a hellish police state."


Only one person per household, per day, can leave the house (including for groceries). Can't go more than 3 miles from your home. The army is on the streets fining/arresting people.

Makow comment: I hope Melbourne residents will vote out the politicians responsible and join a tax revolt.

Madness in Melbourne

Melbourne, that glorious city in the state of Victoria in Australia, granted me some of the best travel days of my life during two separate trips each lasting a full week.

Now there are big worries in Melbourne.

The Premier has imposed a vicious police state without precedent in this country's history. His name is Dan Andrews (a sweet-sounding name that masks the tyrant he has become), and he tweets out pictures of empty streets to brag about what he has achieved in the name of suppressing a virus.

Tacitus's line about the Roman empire comes to mind: "Where they make a desert, they call it peace."

Australia is the only country in the world that has a law that people can't be mean to each other. Now it is host to one of the world's meanest governments.

The catastrophe began with a spring lockdown before there were any cases of C-19 and much fewer deaths. The ethos in Australia was one of extreme exclusion and suppression of the virus, not as bad as New Zealand but pretty bad. The rest of the world can catch this disease, but Australia would use its geographical isolation and political intelligence to ban the virus. The virus will be in awe and know to stay away forever.

It's not a good theory because that's not how viruses work.

Still, it seemed to work, at first. That's because the virus had yet to arrive.

When the virus did arrive, the futility of the suppression strategy was revealed.

Melbourne had set up quarantine hotels for people arriving from abroad or returning from cruises. They would spend 14 days in isolation to purge themselves of possible infection. Then all would be okay. There was a problem: the wily virus escaped.

As a result, a nation's pride in having suppressed the virus turned to panic and full lockdown. Internal borders are sealed. And Melbourne has become a living hell, not because of the virus (which is still mild) but because of the unleashing of a hellish police state....

eagle, I don't blame any government for doing what they must to protect their population from the pandemic. From what I can see, the more severe the practices to shut down until the pandemic threat is over, the sooner things can get back to normal, at least until the next surge. I don't think that the protesters would care to see massive hospitalizations, suffering and death. Not being allowed out of your home certainly beats knowing that your mother is suffering and will probably die, and you can't even visit.

We have to take care of America before we can look at helping anyone else. We have a foriegn invasion that has slowed down but has not stopped. We are being bled dry by the Congress death by a thousand cuts. They keep spending money they don't have and billing us for thier folly. Right now I'm fighting in my own state to get control of the party locally so that we don't keep sending Rinos to the Capital. It's so bad here we can't even look at the stuff going on out side of the state, let alone over the horizon. Keep your powder dry and stay safe.

"Hear it from Fauci’s lips!! You people skirt anything valid and try to dismiss it!!" - LJ

lindajoy; Thanks for the many clarifications that Democrats try to ignore.
I high light a couple:

"During questioning by House Minority Whip Steve Scalise, a Louisiana Republican, Fauci praised the administration’s moves to largely ban travel from China and Europe — both of which were widely questioned by both Democrats and the media at the time."

"Fauci Shreds Media Narrative, Admits President Trump's COVID Response Saved Lives.... put that in your pipe instead of whatever it is keeping you in the mindless wonderment of what really is...."
