Tucker shreds Australia’s tough COVID restrictions

What is the point of vaccination? Why did the federal government in Australia lock everybody down if there’s no actual way to stop the lockdowns?

Tucker gives his take on Australian government’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic and the protests that have ensued because of it. And how it could happen further west.

Highlights include:

“Two years ago, June 2019, the federal police in Sydney raided the offices of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. They weren’t at all unclear about why they were raiding the offices.”

“It wasn’t a crime to broadcast the story, and Australia’s federal police didn’t pretend it was. Instead, they served the broadcaster with a warrant that authorized them, the police, to cover up any evidence of the Australian military’s misconduct. The warrant allowed police to ‘add, copy, delete, or alter any material they wanted to alter on the broadcaster’s computer.’”

“Two years later, what does Australia look like? Well, it looks a lot like China did at the beginning of the pandemic. That’s the sad truth.”

“This isn’t all of Australia. The whole country is not locked down. In Australia, most of the lockdowns are in the eastern part of the country, that’s where the capital of the country is, that’s where the federal government has the most control. The western part, the less populated part of Australia meanwhile, which is home to most of the country’s national resources, isn’t locked down at all.”

“Western Australia has had virtually no cases of covid. How does that happen? How does western Australia not lock down but remain virtually covid-free? Simple. By controlling its borders.”

“Here’s the revealing thing. In Australia, the federal government is angry that western Australia has closed its borders. They want that part of the country to open those borders. Really? Why would that be?”

“Ohh. So, you have to get vaccinated to have any of your freedoms, but even if you are vaccinated, you’re not allowed to go to church. So, what is the point of vaccination? Why did the federal government in Australia lock everybody down if there’s no actual way to stop the lockdowns?”

At the most basic level, the news you consume is a lie, a lie of the stealthiest and most insidious kind. Facts have been withheld on purpose, along with proportion and perspective. You are being manipulated.

Tucker again lays into the media propaganda machine as he announces he’s taking the show to Twitter. Highlights include:

“You often hear people say that news is full of lies, but most of the time, that’s not exactly right. Much of what you see on television or read in the New York Times is, in fact, true in the ‘literal’ sense, it could pass one of the media’s own ‘fact checks.’ Lawyers would be willing to sign off on it, in fact they may have. But that doesn’t make it true. It’s not true.”

“At the most basic level, the news you consume is a lie, a lie of the stealthiest and most insidious kind. Facts have been withheld on purpose, along with proportion and perspective. You are being manipulated.”

“The best you can hope for in the news business at this point is the freedom to tell the fullest truth that you can, but there are always limits, and you know that if you bump up against those limits often enough, you will be fired for it. That’s not a guess, it’s guaranteed. Every person who works in the English language media understands that. The rule of what you can’t say defines everything. It’s filthy, really, and it’s utterly corrupting.”

“For the most part, the news that you see analyzed on Twitter comes from media organizations that are themselves thinly disguised propaganda outlets. You see it on cable news, you talk about it on Twitter. The result may feel like a debate, but actually the gatekeepers are still in charge. We think that’s a bad system. We know exactly how it works, and we’re sick of it.”

When honest people say what’s true calmly and without embarrassment, they become powerful. At the same time, the liars who’ve been trying to silence them shrink.

Oh gosh, I’m using Twitter. Tucker dropped a video today on his Twitter account, again commenting on the current state of US media and finishing with a hopeful “See you soon.” Highlights include:

“One of the first things you realize when you step outside the noise for a few days is how many genuinely nice people there are in this country, kind and decent people, people who really care about what’s true, and a bunch of hilarious people also, a lot of those, it’s gotta be the majority of the population, even now, so that’s heartening. The other thing you notice when you take a little time off is how unbelievably stupid most of the debates you see on television are…”

“Both political parties and their donors have reached consensus on what benefits them and they actively collude to shut down any conversation about it. Suddenly, the United States looks very much like a one party state. That’s a depressing realization, but it’s not permanent. Our current orthodoxies won’t last. They’re brain dead.”

“This moment is too inherently ridiculous to continue, and so it won’t. The people in charge know this, that’s why they’re hysterical and aggressive. They’re afraid. They’ve given up persuasion, they’re resorting to force. But it won’t work. When honest people say what’s true calmly and without embarrassment, they become powerful. At the same time, the liars who’ve been trying to silence them shrink, and they become weaker. That’s the iron law of the universe, true things prevail.”
