Never Forget

NOTHING IS FORGOTTEN AND NOTHING IS FORGIVEN

I’m sure everyone’s seen the Atlantic article by now, where Browns University Professor, Emily Oster, argues the case for a ‘Pandemic Amnesty’, saying it’s time to “forgive one another for what we did and said when we were in the dark about Covid”.

Her argument rests on the ludicrous claim that those baying for the blood of our modern day ‘refuseniks’, ‘couldn’t possibly’ have known any different at the time.

The ‘refuseniks’, she admits, turned out to be right, but only as a “matter of luck”.

Oster herself, of course, belonged to the side cheering on every tyrannical measure and petty cruelty imaginable, shaming those who took principled stands as “Covidiots”, and mocking the deaths of the unvaccinated – just “to make sure that the lessons of these teachable moments are heard”, as the LA Times put it with insufferable smugness.

What public health authorities and politicians did in this country was particularly despicable.

I won’t list their many ‘crimes’ here, but those who suffered from them, know exactly how unforgivable they were.

Extreme measures were imposed that were never justified by either the data or common sense.  Those responsible, did so knowing full well that their actions would destroy the lives, businesses, happiness and well-being of millions.

Which is what happened.

You can’t just shut down society without causing catastrophic damage to people’s health, finances, social relations, education and a lot more.

Churches were shut, schools closed, borders barricaded, people detained at home and businesses shuttered.  Draconian restrictions and penalties imposed and all our constitutional and common law rights, trashed beyond repair.

It’s been nearly three years of hell.

And now we are left to deal with the fallout: business and career losses, family breakdowns, suicide, bitter social divisions, economic collapse, supply chain chaos, soaring inflation, threat of nuclear war, and a complete meltdown of the social fabric and public trust.

Politicians and bureaucrats single-handedly turned a manageable pandemic into an apocalyptic nightmare from which our society may never recover.

They failed at their jobs and as human beings.

In this case “getting something wrong”, as Oster puts it, actually WAS a “moral failing”.

And yet there is still no inquiry, no apology, no accountability and no act of atonement.

We are simply told to let bygones be bygones because they “didn’t know”.

“We didn’t know” wasn’t an acceptable excuse in Germany of 1945 and it’s not acceptable today.

Amnesty for the perpetrators?

Hell No!

Are you paying attention?

SUPPORT SMALL BUSINESS LIKE YOUR FREEDOM DEPENDS ON IT – BECAUSE IT DOES!

Politicians love to talk about how important “small business” is to the economy and how it must be supported.

And yet those same politicians are often the ones found passing law after law, bent on destroying it.

It reminds me of what my grandfather always said:

“Don’t listen to what people say, LOOK AT WHAT THEY DO!”

It was good advice then and indispensable today.

Last month, Australia’s Workplace Relations Minister, Tony Burke, called “gig workers” a ‘cancer’ on the economy.

Let’s just get something straight.

“Gig workers” are, by strict definition, SELF-EMPLOYED WORKERS.

Words matter.  And right now, they are being weaponised against us at an absolutely unprecedented rate.

Governments and politicians want you to believe this war on the “Gig economy” is them taking on ‘Big Business’ giants like Uber and Amazon.   It’s not.

That’s just a smokescreen.

In reality, it’s a full frontal assault on millions of hard-working, self-employed Australians, whose only crime has been to pursue a dream of becoming ‘their own boss’.

You know the ones I mean, café owners, hairdressers, small contractors, independent bus drivers, courier drivers, truckies, importers, cleaners, nannies, plumbers, electricians and numerous other blue-collar workers and small businesses.

That’s who Burke and others are calling a ‘cancer’ on our economy.

It is they who governments and their globalist mates at WEF are determined to ‘demonise, disrupt and destroy.’

Why?

Because they are the only sector Big Government doesn’t completely control yet.  And as we all know, these despicable Technocrats are ALL about control.

It certainly didn’t go unnoticed that the one sector Governments had problems imposing draconian health orders on, were unincorporated small businesses, sole traders and self-employed workers.

That’s because they are one of the few remaining sectors still governed by ‘common law’, not the law of contracts.

Interestingly, it is also the sector where ‘cash’ is still the preferred way of doing business.

Need I say more?

Why else do you think the ATO bureaucrats have waged an almost non-stop war of attrition against the sector for over a decade?

Small business, sole traders and the self-employed are one of the last bastions of freedom within today’s economic system.

Did you really think the ‘control freaks’ in Canberra and Davos would allow that to stand?

Not on your ‘Net Zero’ Nelly!

All those fighting to keep cash – PAY ATTENTION.

Support small businesses, sole traders and self-employed workers like your freedom depends on it.

Because it does!
