♦ One man standing against Tyranny brings Americans to their feet in support.

♦ One man standing against Tyranny in Australia immediately triggers the crabs in the bucket…

That's the difference between a Republic and a pure Democracy.
The government did not hide their reasoning, as immigration minister Alex Hawke said getting Djokovic out of the country was “fundamental to safe-guarding Australia’s *social cohesion* which continues to strengthen despite the pandemic.”

minister.homeaffairs.gov.au/AlexHawke/Page…
Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison echoed the Hawke sentiment saying forcing Novak Djokovic out of the country quickly was a matter of “public interest “, because his continued presence would destabilize the government.
Morrison further stated, “Australians have made many sacrifices during this pandemic, and they rightly expect the result of those sacrifices to be protected,” allowing an unvaccinated person to enter Australia was a threat to the controls & threats of govt vaccine mandates.
None of the statements by the government, and none of their legal arguments had anything to do with COVID-19, or any medical issue or threat represented by Mr. Djokovic.

skynews.com.au/australia-news…
The government didn’t even attempt to make any such case in their court arguments. Instead, the government relied upon convincing the court that Djokovic’s physical presence represented a threat to “social cohesion“.
To support the position of the government, Australian Chief Justice James Allsop stressed the court was ruling on the “lawfulness and legality” of the decision and not whether it was right or wrong to deport him.
The government can arbitrarily decide who comes and goes into the country, therefore, if the government wants to ban Djokovic for whatever reason, they can. That was the determining legal factor, nothing else.
Now we get to the key distinction between Americans and Australians. This is the point where many Americans find it difficult to reconcile with the outlook of Australians. This is where the distinctions in democracy become very important to understand.
Americans, born into a constitutional republic and not a democracy, view any form of tyranny as bad.

Americans, in the whole, view any effort to crush your freedom as a negative.
Australians, born into a pure democracy where the majority make all the rules, only view tyranny as bad if it is not applied equally.

As long as everyone suffers the punishment of government equally, the pain is approved.
In Australia, government oppression is only bad if it is applied unequally.
When an American sees a person fighting Australian tyranny (Djokovic) our gut instinct is to support him (we would if his confrontation was inside America – his location is irrelevant).
Americans are different. We support the freedom fight because we see the underlying reason for him fighting (his medical and health freedom) as having merit.
Most Australians, who would fight for the type of freedom defined by their version of pure democracy, see Djokovic fighting for a specific freedom their mob democracy has already conceded and lost.
The Australian freedom movement (anti-vax movement), writ large, did not independently support Djokovic on principle because Djokovic is not acquiescing to the same rules they are subjected to.
Australians define freedom different than Americans.
The Aussie system of government is based on a pure democracy. Extreme democracy.

As soon as 50% plus one is achieved, the other 50% accept the rules of the majority, regardless how small that majority position might be.

This is why everyone in AU is required by law to vote.
The concept of minority rights or individual sovereignty, restrictions on the mob’s ability to interfere in your life, is unfathomable to Australians.

Once a law is passed by majority consent, they all agree to follow it. That is their social compact.
This is the “social cohesion” that was threatened by Novak Djokovic being allowed to exist as an unvaccinated sovereign citizen in the country.
One man standing against Tyranny brings Americans to their feet in support.

One man standing against Tyranny in Australia immediately triggers the crabs in the bucket…
That reality, my friends, is why leftists in America love Australia and New Zealand.

That is why AU and NZ are the beta-testing ground for totalitarian COVID dictates. American leftists want that mob version of pure democracy. Pure control.
The hardline leftists are willing to achieve that goal by any means necessary. That's why they want federal control over elections.

Also, this goal is clearly visible in the recent polling result of Democrats. READ IT and open your eyes.

1/ Technically it was never really stopped. In the original pdf guidance for the 2014 research pause of into weaponization of SARS viruses there was an important footnote:

phe.gov/s3/dualuse/Doc…
2/ [FN¹ SOURCE – U.S. Government Gain-of-Function Deliberative Process and Research Funding Pause on Selected Gain-of-Function Research Involving Influenza, MERS, and SARS Viruses – pdf, page 2 – October 17, 2014]

phe.gov/s3/dualuse/Doc…
3/ The 2014 pause allowed agencies within the U.S. government to continue funding GoF if they determined “the research is urgently necessary to protect the public health or national security.”

1/ @AlexGangitano The Dec numbers won't be released for a few more days. However, based on this article (see link) and the prior stats, it looks like port activity in December will again be lower than October when new port initiative was announced.

2/ It's a simple math equation. Article on end of year totals.

cnn.com/2022/01/04/bus…
3/ The Port of Los Angeles data shows they handled 468,713 import containers in October, and 405,309 in November. That’s a decrease of 63,404 import containers from the prior month.

(1) This thread, not written by me - but does have strong merit. A little on the worst case scenario side of things, but well-argued and accepted.

What could be in our future....
(2) "We all know by now “Never let a crisis go to waste” REALLY means:

CREATE a crisis, or the PUBLIC PERCEPTION of a crises, in order to justify a public policy change (Government action) that you want to enact."
(3) And, typically do nothing to truly address the crises you created, as to do so would eliminate the justification for the government action you wanted all along.

**ahem**

I must credit the entire CTH team for nailing the timeline almost to the exact moment approximately 4 months ago. [Stunningly accurate] As we continue to hold firm, there are less than two weeks left before FUBAR hits the 24/7 news cycle.

1) Priorities in base ingredient/resource supply distribution are being made (grain and protein). Pet food processing is a lower priority. Do not be surprised if you see the Biden administration trigger federal intervention soon...

whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/…
2) Fed intervention is what created this mess in the first place. The crisis was created by policy. The same fed intervention that created the crisis will now offer solutions to the crisis. Guaranteed.

Sectors will be nationalized. They will be responding to public pressure.
3) We are approximately two weeks away from this issue consuming almost every moment of media time.

Many flawed explanations will be afforded. People will demand to know what caused this. The truth will never be told. Instead, the federal solution will be a temp...

1) This is a good spot to put some research showing how incredibly fabricated this administration is.

Do you remember that massive PR push on how Biden was going to improve supply chains and the ports in California?

Well, we did a review of actual results so far.
2) October 13, 2021, Joe Biden delivered widely carried remarks about specific actions his administration was taking to increase operations at the Port of Los Angeles (POLA) and the Port of Long Beach (POLB).

3) White House fact sheet is HERE, “announcing a series of public and private commitments to move more goods faster, and strengthen the resiliency of our supply chains, by moving towards 24/7 operations at the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach.”
