Some thoughts on the Freedom rally – Aussie Nationalist Blog

Posted by M. C. on March 27, 2021

Furthermore, Saturday was reflective of the benefits proceeding from real-life political rallies. To be sure, they are not so much about actuating political change: the Freedom rally has not (and will not) change anything about increased government control under the pretense of countering coronavirus. However, the Freedom rally provided a unique opportunity for like-minded people to network and share stories from the last few years. This experience seemed to moralise rally attendees; who presumably, would often be unable to openly share their concerns with family members, work colleagues and friends.

Returning to something more topical, Saturday I attended the Freedom rally in the Perth CBD.

This was an anti-mandatory vaccination event, inclusive of more general agitation against the Health Dictatorship. The event consisted of a few brief speeches at the Supreme Court Gardens (featuring the well-known Augusto Zimmermann), a two kilometre march through various main streets, before finishing with a Q & A segment.

Below are some photos taken from the Freedom rally:

This day brought forth various thoughts which I wanted to draw out.

The first of these related to the demographic makeup of this event. The rally was overwhelmingly white, with only a handful of non-whites present out of a thousand-strong crowd. Without speculating on the reasons for this being the case, clearly, the Australian dissident right (encompassing objectors to the Health Dictatorship) is a disproportionately white movement.

The second of these was a candid assessment of where most dissidents, ideologically speaking, are at. It was brought home that those who oppose the status quo, in the main, are not fully fledged reactionaries. For most attendees of the Freedom rally were not nationalists, paleoconservatives or traditionalists. Certainly, there were some with more controversial views; but the people were mostly libertarian, patriotic and anti-PC types. For example in one speech, Mark McGowan was compared to Adolf Hitler, while praises were made of Winston Churchill. (Comments which, reminded me more of the anti-Islam priorities of this blog in 2015, than being suited to our predicament in 2021)…

At any rate, the foregoing only confirmed the need for a ‘big tent’ movement in opposing the Health Dictatorship.

Furthermore, Saturday was reflective of the benefits proceeding from real-life political rallies. To be sure, they are not so much about actuating political change: the Freedom rally has not (and will not) change anything about increased government control under the pretense of countering coronavirus. However, the Freedom rally provided a unique opportunity for like-minded people to network and share stories from the last few years. This experience seemed to moralise rally attendees; who presumably, would often be unable to openly share their concerns with family members, work colleagues and friends.

In order to grasp the importance of this, it is well to consider the main hindrance to our ideas succeeding: the psychological barrier. As we are social creatures, most people identify themselves with the prevailing ideas of their time, so as to assimilate into mainstream, respectable society. Which, in 2021, moves people to concur with mass immigration, liberalism, mandatory vaccination, etc. This pressure to conform for fear of being otherwise ostracized as a ‘Nazi’, ‘racist’, or ‘anti-vaxxer’–renders most people incapable of accepting our ideas, even when they are are presented with logical probity and brevity.

However, events like the Freedom rally aid in exposing these labels as the baseless tropes they are. This is because in real life, accused ‘anti-vaxxers’ are demonstrated to be decent people: these are ordinary mums and dads; small business owners; and people with well founded fears about the trajectory of our country.

So, by providing a necessary outlet and unveiling the true nature of fellow dissidents, these events reduce the psychological anguish which tends to go with holding dissident views. Likewise, for those who have not yet taken to our ideas–such as bystanders to the two kilometre march–the strong optics of rally-goers may have softened hearts or altered preconceived notions about ‘anti-vaxxers’.

One final point. On an average day, the Perth CBD is filled by a concoction of recent arrivals and emasculated white leftists. For a brief time on Saturday, it was therefore uplifting to see the city predominated by the true custodians of Australia–for whom this nation was explicitly created.

False assurances and the mono-party state – Aussie Nationalist Blog

Posted by M. C. on February 9, 2021

Fast forward just 8 months later in Western Australia, and almost the opposite of this has become true. As mentioned above and from 2 February, a contact register must be completed by anyone that visits public places. Individuals who fail to comply with this requirement are subject to a $50,000 fine and/or imprisonment.

In a post last year, I outlined why left-wing promises as to the scope of their revolutionary agenda cannot be trusted.

False assurances

Something similar to this can also be said of our civil authorities, in the creation and development of their Health Dictatorship–a term used last year by Tony Abbott as regarded Victorian action on coronavirus, but one that can now be applied in respect of the entire country.

For even Western Australia, the state that was arguably yet to impose draconian restrictions on its population, has followed suit. This was seen in the recent 5-day ‘lockdown’; but more notably for the purposes of this post, the changes that came into effect from Tuesday, 2 February 2021.

As of this date, adding to those that were required to do so from December 2020, every single public place attended by people has had to maintain a ‘contact register’. Meaning, that under the guise of responding to the coronavirus pandemic, the state government is now surveilling people virtually everywhere they go.

This should give cause to pause and reflect when considering the terms on which mass surveillance, justified by the coronavirus pandemic, was initially sold. These were first presented in May 2020, when the federal government’s ‘Covidsafe’ app was introduced.

At the time, those concerned over the government exploiting coronavirus to expand their social control were *falsely* assured that surveillance of this nature would be voluntary and “not mandatory.” In order to underscore this point, the federal government drafted legislation making it a crime to refuse service or entry to anyone without the Covidsafe app.

Fast forward just 8 months later in Western Australia, and almost the opposite of this has become true. As mentioned above and from 2 February, a contact register must be completed by anyone that visits public places. Individuals who fail to comply with this requirement are subject to a $50,000 fine and/or imprisonment.

The initial Covidsafe app from May 2020 and the universal mandatory contact registers from February 2021, it is true, were implemented by different governments: the first by the federal government, the second by the state government.

Through this unholy concoction of state and federal authority, nevertheless, our rulers are collectively threatening to punish us for breaking their rules, despite the rules themselves constantly changing. A sign, it is worth noting, of an abusive relationship.

From what can be observed historically in governmental responses to a crisis, moreover, it is fair to assume this mass surveillance will never go away.

The mono-party state

Besides exposing the untrustworthy makeup of current politicians, such as Prime Minister Scott Morrison and Premier Mark McGowan, the changes effective from 2 February reveal systemic failures in this late-stage liberal democracy.

On the issues which matter and particularly in the construction of its Health Dictatorship, the system essentially operates as a mono-party state. Both major parties of state and federal parliament, Big Tech, the mainstream media, the judiciary, leading financial and business interests–are all in concurrence and act as one. Or, if there are some private objectors among these key institutions, they stay silent, allowing the whims of the mono-party state to proceed unopposed.

This being the case, there are (at least for now) no legitimate means of remedying the destructive course of this mono-party state, whether in relation to the Health Dictatorship, Drag Queen story hour, or demographic change. Opponents of these developments are as powerless as Alexei Navalny, in his efforts to challenge the rule of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
