Without question.

They Caught the COVID Positive Fugitive in Australia, and the Capture is Something Else

Quote:We've covered how terrible the situation is in Australia before. Leah wrote about a manhunt for Anthony Karam, 27, described as "public health enemy number one," after tested positive but allegedly broke quarantine. Well, the authorities found him and arrested him, and it's a sight to behold.

The video shows side by side Karam's arrest with China taking away people last year. It's scary stuff. Taking precautions is one thing, but hauling people off is another.

From what we can see, there's at least four people in protective suits, as well as at least eight police officers, some even carrying shields.

The clip closes with Karam speaking to the press, as he says "I have proof I've been isolating the whole time, mate."

Say those bringing Karam in are vaccinated. There's 27 percent of people fully vaccinated, and 19 percent who have received the first dose. Even if a vaccinated person contracts the virus, they're almost certainly not going to get sick enough to be sent to the hospital or die from it.

A friend of Karam exclusively told The Daily Mail that the accused "was allegedly concerned police would 'harass' him."

It seems like for good reason, as the exclusive continues:

'When symptoms began to show, Anthony got tested, but put his parents' address on his Covid test because he was witnessing how much harassment comes from authorities for having Covid,' the source claimed.

'They arrive at any time of the day and without warning, bang on the door as hard as they can.'

Officers have previously alleged that Karam gave authorities an incorrect address. NSW Police regularly check up on Covid patients and close contacts to ensure they are isolating.

The family source claimed: 'Anthony was giving an ultimatum saying that he can either go into hotel quarantine (for weeks) or they would throw the book at him.

'He tried to negotiate but they were firm with their options.'

Police repeatedly failed to find Karam after his positive test almost a fortnight ago and last Friday pleaded for the public's help finding him.

It was the first time authorities have used Section 62 of the Public Health Act to publicly identify a New South Wales resident and their medical history.

NSW Police released footage of Karam coughing in the elevator of an apartment building.

Chief Health Officer Dr Kerry Chant also took the unprecedented step of releasing a statement warning the community to avoid approaching him.

Karam disputes the accusations:

The family source claimed Karam had then gone into isolation at his youngest brother's home.

The source claimed Karam had at one point offered to FaceTime police officers and NSW Health during the manhunt, an offer which was apparently refused.

Immediately following his arrest this week, Karam insisted he had done nothing wrong.

'I have proof I've been isolating the whole time - so you do what you like,' he told Seven News.

Karam was charged with 13 offences, including nine counts of failing to wear a fitted face covering indoors in common property, failing to comply with public health orders and self-isolation orders, and 'not prevent spread of a Category 2 - 5 condition'.

He did not apply for bail during a brief appearance at Bankstown Local Court on Friday, due to problems in setting up a video link, given his Covid-positive status. Bail was formally refused.

The government of Australia reported on August 29 that there have been 51,256 cases and 999 deaths "since the first case was reported." The population amounts to 25,841,600 people, making it the 55th most populated country in the world.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), as of August 27, Australia ranks about #123 of countries and territories as far as most cases in the world goes.

The Associated Press reported earlier this month the capital was placed under lockdown over one case:

According to the report:

The Australian Capital Territory, which comprises Canberra and two villages, locked down for a week after a man tested positive on Thursday.

The tally of infections rose to six on Friday, with more than 1,800 people identified as close contacts of the original case since he became infectious, officials said.

Australian Capital Territory Chief Minister Andrew Barr said the lockdown would last until all new cases had been in isolation throughout their entire infectious period.

“We would want to see no additional community transmission, we want to go back to zero,” Barr said.

The recent infections are the first cases of community transmission in the city of 460,000 since July 10 last year.

This totalitarian like response doesn't look to be over any time soon. Matt just the other day wrote about how they've gone to build camps for COVID patients, or as they put it,
there's going to be a "dedicated regional quarantine facility."

Well...put Australia on the list of places to never visit

FINALLY SOME glimmer of hope and sanity!

So they decide this the day before the deadline they were given?

Australia passes sweeping internet surveillance bill

Quote:The Australian Senate has passed a controversial law giving new and powerful surveillance powers to law enforcement agencies, including 60 amendments proposed by the House of Representatives.

After The Surveillance Legislation Amendment (Identity and Disrupt) Bill 2020 is signed into law, the Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission (ACIC) and Australian Federal Police (AFP) will have three new controversial powers to handle online crime.

We obtained a copy of the bill for you here.

The two law enforcement agencies will have “data disruption power,” whose purpose is to prevent “continuation of criminal activity by participants, and be the safest and most expedient option where those participants are in unknown locations or acting under anonymous or false identities.”

Critics, including Victoria’s Senator Lidia Thorpe, pointed out that such power could be used to target a broad range of people – from political activists to young people downloading content from the internet.

“No one is safe under these new laws,” Sen. Thorpe said when the bill was first proposed last year. “It will affect grassroots communities across the country, it will affect children. It will affect anybody who downloads a movie illegally over the internet – they could go to jail for five years.”

The second power the law gives the agencies is called the network activity warrant, which allows them to monitor the internet activity of a suspect’s network or device. The law also gives the AFP and ACIC the authority to control an online account to collect more information for an investigation.

Some of the recommendations by the House of Representatives did make some changes that shield journalism. But, many activists and critics still feel the bill’s language does not protect vulnerable internet users.

“The scope of the new powers is disproportionate compared to the threats of serious and organized cybercrime to which they are directed,” Sen. Thorpe said on Wednesday.

“There is a lack of evidence justifying the need for warrants of this nature, beyond those already available… no other country in the Five Eyes alliance has conferred powers on its law enforcement agency that this bill will.”

Little China

Oh, well. Scratch Australia from my "must visit" list in retirement. Not a major issue since I visited there twice when they were fun and free.

…..And we’re back. Good Lord have mercy!

Quote:Intrastate travel within Australia is also severely restricted. And the government of South Australia, one of the country’s six states, developed and is now testing an app as Orwellian as any in the free world to enforce its quarantine rules. People in South Australia will be forced to download an app that combines facial recognition and geolocation. The state will text them at random times, and thereafter they will have 15 minutes to take a picture of their face in the location where they are supposed to be. Should they fail, the local police department will be sent to follow up in person. “We don’t tell them how often or when, on a random basis they have to reply within 15 minutes,” Premier Steven Marshall explained. “I think every South Australian should feel pretty proud that we are the national pilot for the home-based quarantine app.”

This is what happens when you give up the means to protect yourself.

So get off social media. I mean wtf? What do people get out of it?

Apparently in Australia the State owns the People. Enjoy your slavery Aussies.

It seems Australia has gone full Communist society. I used to like their gumption but now they've gone overboard and have become what was written in the book 1984. Who would have know that it would happen there and not in the US. I know that the Commies in the US government would love to mimic them but it would and could create a civil war with real bullets. That's the only thing that is keeping them from going overboard themselves...Nancy would be in seventh heaven if she could be the new modern ayatollah.

People should and will boycott traveling to that island and it will hurt them more than they're hurting themselves. Tourist money has just gone down a hole in their pocket.

SO SAD.
