Marxist Mark took away your international freedoms and rights under COVID

By Andrea Tokaji - posted Monday, 10 May 2021


Everyone has the right to take part in the government of his country, directly or through freely chosen representatives. Everyone has the right of equal access to public service in his country. The will of the people shall be the basis of the authority of government. (Art. 21; UDHR).

Except under COVID. Under COVID, no one is allowed to question government control or force.

No one has a say in the restrictions, laws or amendments currently taking place to restrict our rights and freedoms disproportionately and with impunity.

Everyone has the right to work, to free choice of employment, to just and favourableconditions of work and to protection against unemployment. (Art. 23; UDHR).

Except under COVID. Under COVID, the government restricts our work, our business, economy, trade and commerce - disproportionately and with impunity. Families and businesses continue to suffer, while the elite profit off of our misery. Job lossis only part of the problem.

Mental illness and suicide is the silent pandemic in all of this chaos, with an estimated 145% spike in cases during COVID. These alarming rates include an estimated 910 people have died of suicide during the plannedemic, with Western Australia seeing 33 cases in just one fortnight.

Everyone has the right freely to participate in the cultural life of the community, to enjoy the arts and to share in scientific advancement and its benefits.(Art. 27; UDHR).

Except under COVID. Under COVID, the government restricts our enjoyment of culture and scientific advancement by restricting our choice for vaccines or to choose not to take the vaccine.

Why are we ok with this state of affairs, and when will we get our freedoms back?

For a virus that has only taken 910 people in Australia - that's less than the amount of people who died of the flu in 2019, how can the Government justify the $500 billion spent on lock-down measures, and who will be paying back our massive debt?

By the way, just so we are clear, if you do not comply with the directions given to you by a biosecurity officer under unjustifiable Emergency Powers restrictions, section 38 of the Biosecurity Act is clear: your penalty for a civil offence for the penalty of infringing a Biosecurity notice is five (5) years in prison - which is a criminal charge, or a $66,600 fine.

Under Commonwealth law, financial penalties, including infringement notice amounts, are calculated in 'penalty units'. Section 4AA of theCrimes Act 1914sets the dollar amount of one penalty unit. As of 1 January 2021 the amount of one penalty unit is set at $222.
