Many of you are not scared of this charade – you’re more scared of what the government are getting away with. But some people are entirely terrified of the virus. Take my wife’s friends. Despite them all being fully vaccinated and wearing masks at every opportunity, they are literally scared of leaving their house. Stupid Humans ▶ https://ebay.us/XzAsV4 They are scared that their unvaccinated children will be exposed to the virus and die. They are scared that if they talk to anybody else, they’re going to catch the virus and send themselves to an early grave. They are terrified, and you know what, I don’t blame them. Every day the government and the media spread fear. They make it sound like that the human race is on the brink of extinction. But it’s simply not true, no matter what artificially inflated numbers you look at it. Children are the least likely to be harmed by covid in any of its forms. Here’s two charts from the Australian Government’s National Interoperable Notifiable Disease Surveillance System. A total of three people under the age of 20 have died who tested positive to covid. Three in the entire two-year pandemic. And those deaths aren’t even definitively proven to have been caused by covid. So three is probably even an exaggeration. My wife’s friends are completely terrified that their children will die from covid, but the numbers simply don’t warrant that fear. So why are they scared? Because every day plastered all over the news are fearmongers convincing us that we are all going to die unless we do exactly what the government tell us do. And my wife’s friends have done exactly what the government have asked of them, but yet they are still in a state of complete and utter fear. Why? Because the government and the media have gone too far. Perhaps at one stage they were trying to scare people so that they would go out and get vaccinated, but now that most people have got the vaccine, they still spread their lies. They still keep the fully vaccinated in a perpetual state of fear. They keep mandating masks even for those who have the lowest risk of harm. One of my wife’s friends has completely lost her mind because of all of this. She has two young children and will not let them go outside. They are housebound. Their mum thinks that going outside will result in them dying, because the government has scared her to the point of mental breakdown. This sucks. I mean, this really sucks. The amount of harm that the government may have prevented with lock downs and mandates and fear campaigns has been completely offset by the amount of mental harm they have brought on the community. Luckily, I don’t promote fear in my household. I take my kids outside whenever they want to. My wife takes them to the shops whe ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3S3zEvUbjd0

Gendered Violence is the new term to divide Australians even further. Of course, “gendered violence” is code for “violence against women”, which, if you’re cynical like me, is code for “men are bad”. There’s been a pile-on in the media this week about this topic. The ABC make it perfectly clear that men are the perpetrators here: “Lots of men are feeling uncomfortable about Australia's gendered violence conversation. They should be”. They’re not even trying to hide their bias anymore. In the article, they state: “So far this year 28 women have lost their lives — 28 families who have lost a loved one to gendered violence. In April alone, 11 women died allegedly at the hands of men.” What I don’t like about this sort of reporting, is that they’re only showing one side. Yes, 28 women being killed is tragic. I’m not disagreeing with that. But there’s no context. In the name of rational and honest debate, they should at least publish how many men were killed over the same time period. But they don’t, so that makes me feel like they’re trying to hide something, or at the very least, they’re focusing on one part of the conversation, and don’t want the reader to see the whole picture. So, in this video, I’m going to show you some statistics. I’m not even trying to take a side here. I just want to know the facts. But first, just quickly, I’d like to talk about Prime Minister Anthony Albanese showing up at a women’s rally in Canberra on the grass outside Parliament House. He thought it would be a nice photo op to join thousands of people nationally to demand an end to men’s violence, but instead, he got into a bit of a public disagreement with the organiser of the rally. After making an Indigenous woman cry, the ABC quickly turned on Albanese: “Albanese was so desperate to prove he cares about gendered violence, he forgot one thing: if you’re a proper leader, it’s not about you. The footage of Anthony Albanese at a gendered violence rally outside Parliament House is nearly unwatchable.” It’s both kind of sad, but also admittedly, quite amusing that everybody has kind of turned on Albanese. Anyway, the statistics! We take a look at the Australian Government’s Institute of Criminology’s latest report on Homicide in Australia released 30 April 2024. AUSTRALIAN INSTITUTE OF CRIMINOLOGY REPORT – HOMICIDE IN AUSTRALIA 2022–23 https://doi.org/10.52922/sr77420 Homicide in Australia. Celebrating 50 years! Perhaps they shouldn’t have put that on the front cover. The good news is, both the rate of Domestic and Acquaintance homicide has significantly reduced over the last 30 or so years, but they don’t seem to talk about this at the rallies. One would think that the murder rate is increasing. Victims of homicide by sex. Although both sexes have had significant reductions over the last 30 years, males comprise 69% of homicide victims, more than double that of females at 30%. It should be noted that most offenders are men, I’m not trying to hide anything, but this rate has been tracking significantly downwards. Whatever we’re doing as a society is somewhat working, noting that the rate of women offenders has stayed approximately the same over the years, or perhaps slightly decreased. Interestingly, Indigenous offenders, which they didn’t put in a graph for some reason (I think I know why), well, non-Indigenous people have a homicide offence rate of 0.79 – very, very low. Comparatively, Indigenous people have a rate of 10.18! This means that Indigenous people are more than 12 times more likely to commit homicide than a non-Indigenous person. Look, I’m not trying to pick on anybody here, but the facts are the facts. Obviously, this rate is still quite low. The overwhelming majority of Indigenous people are not murderous barbarians, and I’m sure most of them want peace just like the rest of us, but statistically they have committed homicide at a significantly higher rate. I don’t know if this is relevant, but the Northern Territory has the highest rate of homicide at 2.81. It should be noted that Indigenous people are more likely to be victims too, 5.36 vs 0.74, meaning Indigenous people are more than 7 times more likely to be killed than their non-Indigenous brothers and sisters. But of course, you can spin statistics however you please. The ABC recently wrote, “49 per cent of female victims of homicide were killed by a former or current intimate partner”. If you focus entirely on one particular type of homicide, then yes, women are over-represented. It gives the impression that women are under attack more than any other group, which if you look at the overall statistics, is just not factual. Actually, this rate of female intimate partner homicide is the second lowest rate ever recorded in almost 35 years. One might say this is an accomplishment, but no, the PM knows best, “Men are bad! (Unless you’re a woman, then you can just shut up, because I’m the Prime Minister!)”. MUSIC Allégro by Emmit Fenn ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sOT4FVtI4FQ

As part of my work agreement at one of the universities I work for, I must participate in this so-called First Nations Cultural Capabilities Training. Just as this guy is blowing some smoke in this smoking ceremony, someone was blowing some smoke when designing this training material. Understanding the Importance of First Nations Cultural Capabilities at Uni. Of course, they do the obligatory acknowledgement of the traditional custodians. The module is approximately sixty minutes in duration – It took me at least that long, mainly because I was taking all these screenshots to share with you in this video. It is designed to inform and empower you towards: Culturally appropriate work practices; and Building and maintaining respectful relationships and partnerships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elders, peoples and communities.  My first thought is why does the university think that only Aboriginal culture needs a special explanation about it? If I was Aboriginal, I’d be insulted by all this. Not only do they think I need a special module about me, they also need to force everyone in the university to participate. They feel the need to teach non-Indigenous people how to approach me, how to talk to me, how to not offend me, like I’m some sort of creature from another world. It’s a divisive joke, but the university keep pushing this garbage. To be clear, I’m not calling traditional Aboriginal culture garbage, just this forced Cultural Capabilities training about our fellow Australians. Anyway, let’s see a sample of some of the “training”. First of all, you need to know the difference between Acknowledgement of Country and Welcome to Country, you know, all the stuff Aussies love to hear constantly. I don’t know about you, but I love being welcomed to my own country at every possible opportunity. They go on about how we have to engage with Aboriginal people differently. There are social and political barriers which have marginalised Indigenous groups throughout history. There’s other lesser known barriers such as inter-generational traumas, and traditional Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander speech patterns known as Aboriginal English (AE). The training tells us to consider our own bias. It is important to always reflect on our own cultural biases and standpoints before we engage with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and communities. Again, it’s as if Aboriginal people are so different from the rest of us that we have to take special steps before engaging with them. It’s very disparaging I think. They talk about Aboriginal Law, and how these Laws have functioned to inform Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people about how to live sustainably on the land. Non-Indigenous law operates differently in that it shifts to suit the interests of humans. As part of the training, there was also significant dates we had to learn. Survival day, you know the day formally known as Australia Day: Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islander peoples choose to mark Australia Day as a day to highlight the invasion of Australia by Europeans and to acknowledge the survival of their cultural heritage. I like how they lump all Aboriginal people into one basket. They are all against Australia Day and see it as an invasion. What a load of crap! Apology Anniversary, National Close the Gap Day, Mabo Day, NAIDOC Week, just to name a few more. But the biggest one that I love the most, and perhaps the most divisive of all: Cultural and Ceremonial Leave. Isn’t this discrimination? Only people of a certain ancestry are entitled to certain entitlements. As I said earlier, equality is no longer the goal. That was already attained. They’re pushing this as far as they can now, elevating Indigenous Australians above everyone else, which as I said, will create resentment, and is a disaster just waiting to happen. This won’t bring unity. This will bring the opposite. This one was funny: Never make eye contact with Indigenous people because it’s disrespectful. This obviously was one of the incorrect answers, but it’s funny that they included it. Again, they’re making Indigenous people sound like some kind of foreign being that we have to take special precautions around. It’s very disparaging to Indigenous people. One thing I quickly realised about this “training”, is that it’s not training at all. It’s propaganda! Since the Voice defeat, they’re pushing this more than ever. Oh, don’t get me wrong, I’d be fired from the university for talking about this publicly like I’m doing now. We supposedly live in a free country, but you can’t talk badly about First Nations training modules. MUSIC Allégro by Emmit Fenn ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPYz8LqzIw4

I’m not a conspiracy theorist. I don’t believe that there is some kind of global cabal trying to get us all vaccinated for their nefarious ends. However, there is something that the conspiracy theorists and I have in common — We don’t want to take a vaccine that’s been rushed to market! Personally, I think the truth is often obvious and in plain sight. Rich people like to make money — TRUE! Vaccine manufacturers want to produce and sell vaccines — TRUE! I don’t think that’s debatable and certainly isn’t a conspiracy theory. It’s obvious in my opinion and goes a long way in explaining what we’re seeing at the moment. The vaccine companies have seen an opportunity in the pandemic to make a tonne of money, but they don’t get that money unless 1. They get their product to the market first, and 2. They convince governments around the world that their vaccine is best. However, that doesn’t mean we should just willy-nilly go along with the first vaccine that’s made available. After all, it’s our health at stake here. Just because a vaccine company — a company that has a vested interest in selling their product — says that their vaccine is safe, does not mean that we should just go, “OK Mr Vaccine Company, I’ll take your vaccine without questioning it”. The ABC recently published an article where experts answered many of the common questions and doubts that people are having here in Australia. I would argue that generally speaking, the ABC is fairly pro-vaccination, but the results of this article weren’t very reassuring. Basically, our brightest minds don’t know enough about the vaccine, but yet, countries like England will be pushing it on their public. In my opinion, if we don’t know enough about the long-term effects of the vaccine and the risk of side-effects, then surely this roll-out can only be labelled one way — an experiment!
