Rickards on Victoria, we're famous!

Post by Hal » Wed Jun 15, 2022 2:48 am

Excerpt from Jim Rickards newsletter re "The Great Leader" :P

Nowhere was the fascist impulse more on display than in the state of Victoria in Australia, particularly its main city of Melbourne. Innocent citizens were arrested just for driving in cars alone. Civilians were scooped up off the street by police just for walking outside. Demonstrators against vax mandates were beaten and arrested. That’s the legacy of COVID in Victoria.

Can things get worse than this? According to this article, the answer is yes. It seems that while authorities in Victoria were terrorising their own citizens with lockdowns, they were learning new techniques for total surveillance of those citizens. Now that the pandemic has abated, the surveillance techniques are still in use. These include tracking spending habits, physical whereabouts, social media posts, and medical records involving both physical and mental health.

Any insights as to how this monitoring is carried out?

Most likely your phone and credit cards. That’s all they need.

Very likely why the some nations have funnelled so much commerce via their social media sites.
