WHAT CAN WE LEARN FROM GREAT BRITAIN?

How Britain went from Great to Grim

I first visited the United Kingdom in 1977 with my father on our first overseas adventure. This was a long-held dream for us both, having heard the stories from my grandparents about their UK visit in 1955 when it was a three-month trip from Sydney by the SS Orsova.

It was a wonderful visit for my father and me, including the Queen’s Silver Jubilee. We embraced British culture and breakfast, if not the entire dining experience. Remarkably, Great Britain seemed like home, and I suppose that, having been brought up on AA Milne and The Famous Five, this was not surprising. Many subsequent periods of living in the UK confirmed my love of British life, but ancient traditions and the class structure seemed to impose many restrictions. I wondered, even then, how long Great Britain could continue on its historical path.

Family Links with the UK and the Crown

My mother’s and father’s families had strong links with the UK. My great-great-grandfather (Thomas Rose) had a “free” passage in 1793 as a young man on a convict ship after a conviction for stealing. Somehow, he had made good in the young colony of New South Wales, acquired a hotel in the centre of Sydney (it would be nice to still own it!), and later obtained grazing land about 60km south of Sydney. His son, Reuben Rose I, was packed off in his thirties to a farm in the Snowy Mountains that was a long way from the bright lights of the city (he had a drinking problem). There were no lights (apart from those you made by cutting and burning wood), freezing winters, and it was hard to find a pub. He spent his time hunting and fishing.

You would think that the Rose family would have held it against the English that the original Rose forbear had been shipped in irons to Australia. However, it must have been an early version of Stockholm Syndrome, where we all became supporters of our captors. When I was only five years old, I was taken by car over pot-holed and unsealed roads to see Queen Elizabeth during her 1954 visit to Australia. I waved my little Union Jack flag in the heat and dust and felt a sense of loyalty to the Crown.

It is estimated that about 75% of Australia’s population of nine million saw the Queen during that 1954 visit. As a result of the Queen and Prince Philip’s eight-week tour (their children Charles and Anne were left behind in London; it was best for children not only to be not heard but also not seen), a close bond was formed between the former colony and its overlords. Here is how the National Museum of Australia described the 1954 tour:

“During their eight weeks in Australia, the Queen and Prince Philip visited all state and territory capitals (except Darwin) and many rural centres. In an atmosphere of breathless adoration, the royal couple were shown the very best of Australian industry and society. …Australia was transfixed by their young, glamorous, but seemingly approachable monarch. News of what she wore, the events she attended and whom she met made the front-page. Footage of the Queen’s activities was screened in cinemas across the country.

Described in a commemorative book as ‘a thunderous progress through thousands of miles lit to incandescence by the affection and enthusiasm of nine million devoted subjects’, the tour was a remarkable mass public celebration of the monarchy.”

This link and dependence on Great Britain were fostered during the days of the Crown Colonies (1788-1900) and following the Federation in 1901 when Australia became a distinct country with its national parliament.

Given our “independence” from Great Britain, it is interesting to note the words of the Australian Prime Minister, Robert Menzies, when he declared war on Germany in 1939:

“Fellow Australians, it is my melancholy duty to inform you officially that in consequence of the persistence by Germany in her invasion of Poland, Great Britain has declared war on her and that, as a result, Australia is also at war.”

Australia’s connection with Great Britain was such that 150 years after the first colony was established in 1788, the declaration of war against Germany meant that “As a result, Australia is also at war”. Through clever diplomacy, trade incentives and strategic deployment of the Royal Family, Australia saw itself as a colonial outpost of the leading world power.

Australia’s Move Toward the US

Australia drew closer to the US during WWII because of the threat from the Japanese and the establishment of US forces on Australian soil associated with the Battle of the Coral Sea in May 1942 and subsequent fighting in the Pacific.

The close association and dependence on the US progressed after Great Britain’s humiliation in the Suez crisis in July 1956, when the US refused to back action by the UK, France and Israel following President Nasser’s nationalisation of the Suez Canal.

Australian politicians drew closer to the US, with the famous phrase of Australia’s Prime Minister that we were “All the way with LBJ” – uttered in 1966. Australia pledged to support President Lyndon Baines Johnson (LBJ) and the US during the Vietnam War and, by the end of 1967, had committed 8,000 troops, including conscripts, to the fighting. As a 20-year-old, I was required to register for a national ballot where different birth dates were drawn randomly to select those needed for “national service” – in the US called the “draft”. I missed out on the lottery but had many friends who were drafted and sent to Vietnam.

Australia moved closer to the US, which was seen as our great protector. This relationship was further enhanced by  Great Britain’s decision to join the European Common Market in 1973, which had a negative impact on Australian trade with the UK.

Nonetheless, Australians remained emotionally close to the UK, and this bond was reinforced by ongoing tours by the royal family. Following her influential eight-week 1954 tour, the Queen undertook 15 more visits between 1955 and 2011. There were also many other royal visits and Prince Charles received some of his high school education in Australia.

Using modern language, I think we Australians were “groomed”! It was certainly very successful, and the UK government effectively used the Queen and the Commonwealth as tools for its economic and strategic influence.

The British Empire

It is remarkable to think of the UK's international influence until after WWII. It was an empire on which “the sun never set”, stretching across the world and bringing its values, laws and government to outposts in Africa, the Caribbean, Asia and the Pacific. It is extraordinary that Great Britain (England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland), a country just over half the size of California, could exert its power and influence for such a long period.

I was reminded of some of the extraordinary changes in Great Britain's status and influence this week when I listened to an interview with the eminent historian Lord Roberts of Belgravia this week. I recommend readers to listen to the podcast below.

Lord Roberts provided an overview of the life of Winston Churchill (1874-1965), a period which also traced the time when Great Britain’s influence started to wane in the world. He spoke of Churchill’s involvement (and near-death experiences) in the Boer War in the late 1800s, his time as First Lord of the Admiralty during WWI and his period in the trenches as a type of “penance” for the failure of his Dardanelles strategy. He was also Chancellor of the Exchequer in the 1920s and then was a lone voice warning of the danger from the rearmament of Germany in the 1930s.

Churchill’s return to power and, subsequently, leadership of Great Britain occurred with the declaration of War on Germany on 3^rd September 1939. Churchill was appointed once again as the First Lord of the Admiralty. Neville Chamberlain was Prime Minister and remained in place until Germany invaded the Low Countries on 10 May 1940. Chamberlain then lost the support of the UK Parliament, and King George VI appointed Churchill to lead a coalition government. Everything seemed hopeless, but Churchill stirred the British people, and after many defeats, the tide finally turned in late 1942. However, with all the war expenditures, Great Britain was declining, and losing its colonies and resources eventually brought a day of reckoning.

Churchill’s reward for leading Great Britain through the war was to have his government thrown out in July 1945 when Labour was elected in a landslide.  Labour promised a better life for all – free health care via a national health service and nationalisation of the critical industries: coal, steel, rail, electricity, transport and the Bank of England.

Unwittingly, with promises of lots of free “stuff” and government control of everything, the British had stepped into a socialist nightmare, which continues to the present day. Ironically, George Orwell’’s great novel Animal Farm was published just weeks after the socialist Labour government came to power.

The Decline of Great Britain

Since then, the British public has consistently been attracted back to a socialist agenda, and although Margaret Thatcher revolutionised Great Britain during her tenure as Prime Minister from 1979 to 1990, her policies were an aberration in the overall trajectory of the UK. Thatcher is a hated figure by most on the left of UK politics today. A statue of Thatcher was rejected for placement in Parliament Square in London and vandalised after its placement in her hometown of Grantham.

Jeremy Corbyn, effectively a Communist, was almost elected Prime Minister when he was Leader of the Opposition in the 2017 election called early by Theresa May . Corbyn was eventually removed as Labour leader after two election defeats. He was replaced in 2020  by Sir Keir Starmer, the former UK Director of Public Prosecutions.

Starmer has made an art form of having no clear policies on anything. Such an approach has been effective and has disguised the antisemitic and communist core of the Party. Such has been the incompetence of the Conservative Party, that it is virtually indistinguishable from Labour. Both political parties promote “big government”, and the Conservatives even have a Minister for “Levelling Up” – to try to make everyone equal.

This hopeless “conservative” government that has overseen the highest taxation in UK history, an uncontrolled border, disastrous performance by the National Health Service, ruinous lockdowns and forced vaccinations during COVID, and devolution of Wales and Scotland to become socialist enclaves. The Conservative government deserves to be thrown out of office later this year. Unfortunately, the UK will go further into the mire after the election of UK Labour.

The current Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, is a big government technocrat who doesn’t seem to have a free-market bone in his body. Recent opinion polls indicate that the Conservative Party may be left with fewer than 100 seats in Parliament (out of a total of 650 seats) after the next election.

One of the major issues that no government has dealt with is migration. The control of immigration was a significant reason for the success of the Brexit referendum in 2016. However, since then, immigration has continued to increase, and there have been many dangerous Channel crossings in small dinghies. During the first months of 2024, there have already been 5,000 Channel crossings with costs of around £6 billion to the UK taxpayer.

This video clip from the UK Telegraph provides a good overview of the situation

The “innovative” solution proposed in 2022, at the time that Boris Johnson was Prime Minister, was to send the illegal immigrants to Rwanda. Who created this solution that doesn’t even pass the pub test? Two years later, not one illegal immigrant has departed for Rwanda, but the UK government has paid Rwanda £240 million as of December 2023.

The bureaucratic and government incompetence is shocking, and no solution is in sight. The House of Lords opposes the Rwanda policy, and the European Court of Human Rights can prevent the deportation of illegal immigrants. This is partly because Great Britain can’t decide whether to be in or out of Europe.

Then there is the socialised medicine system – the NHS - that has overseen a steady decline in capability since its inception in 1945. President Reagan warned about the danger of socialised medicine back in the 1960s.

The NHS is seen as an icon in Great Britain, and people were encouraged to leave their homes to clap for the NHS during COVID. What has happened over the past few years is a progressive decline in services, shocking statistics on waiting times for treatment and the almost impossible challenge of making a face-to-face appointment with a general practitioner. Doctors are continually striking, and new data demonstrate that 25% of patients can wait for more than 12 hours in accident and emergency. The UK Telegraph reported recently that:

“Figures compiled by the Royal College of ­Emergency Medicine estimated that there were 14,000 excess deaths last year and 1.5 million emergency patients waited 12 hours or longer. The risk of death started to increase after five hours and grew worse with longer waiting times.”

It is best not to become ill in Great Britain. British readers – take your vitamins and stock up on ivermectin!

No one has any idea about solving the health and immigration crises. The UK Labour Party, which is ideologically committed to socialism, will raise taxes, nationalise core industries and oversee an even worse economic disaster.

What about UK Defence? All Great Britain’s weapons, already limited because the defence budget barely reaches 2% of GDP, have been shipped off to Ukraine. The former failed Prime Minister, David Cameron, has been recycled through the House of Lords to oversee a disastrous foreign policy, and with every interview it is clear that he has an arrogance:ability ratio well over unity. Naval ships cannot go to sea because of design and maintenance flaws, and UK military recruitment is only concerned about diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Great Britain is also confused about its foundations and spiritual roots. With the influx of Muslim refugees, British “tolerance” has sought to accommodate a way of life that is in fundamental conflict with British Christian values. There is such concern about Islamophobia that when Muslim leaders call for jihad, the police and government look in the other direction.

There is only one path for the UK: continuing and rapid decline. The socialists will impose ruinous taxes, support bureaucratic institutional failure, and a welfare state where the government will eventually run out of other people’s money (Margaret Thatcher's great quote).

What Are Some of the Lessons?

For the past two years, I have closely read the UK Times and Telegraph newspapers daily to discern the “signs of the times”. It is traumatic to read about the loss of moral clarity and decisions that constantly increase bureaucracy, impose restrictions on movement in cities and more and more “green tape”. There also are almost daily stories of wasteful government expenditure at the expense of the ordinary citizen and NHS failure. Perhaps Reform UK, the new conservative political party, may gain political traction. However, the Party is unlikely to win seats in the next parliament because the UK does not have preferential voting but a “first past the post” system.

Australia and other Commonwealth countries are tied emotionally and legally to Great Britain, and I want to understand what is happening and what the lessons are for us. Unfortunately, Australia has elected state and federal socialist governments, and so, as a country, we are headed down the same road as the UK.

Of course, my assessment of how dire things are in the UK may be off the mark. I will be happy to be corrected by my UK readers.

However, here are a few of my conclusions about lessons for Sons of Issachar readers that I believe can be drawn from the UK's trajectory .

1. Socialised health care will ruin a nation. The NHS is a case study of what happens when governments control health. Healthcare in the UK has progressively declined, and millions of people are on waiting lists and will likely die before they receive treatment. Medical standards have declined due to relentless bureaucracy emphasising diversity, equity and inclusion. The bureaucrats have gained control of the entire health system, and it is impossible to move anywhere for even a simple consultation without completing dozens of forms. Recently, Rishi Sunak threw another £1 billion at the NHS, but the system needs fundamental restructuring and a radical change. Unfortunately, there is no possibility of this happening, and the UK will continue to muddle with an unfixable system.

2. Failing to stand for traditional values and embracing multiculturalism will destroy a nation. Great Britain has its foundation and laws in Christianity. The Church of England is incorporated into the State and its legislation, with the King or Queen as Head of State and Head of the Church. However, UK church leaders are more concerned about diversity, equity, inclusion and climate change than the nation's spiritual health. The UK presents a strong case for ensuring that church and state are not entwined.

   Rather than being prepared to articulate the traditional values and laws of the nation, UK governments for the last 20 years have attempted to accommodate every view as it has embraced multiculturalism. There is now a large proportion of people opposed to UK law and want the UK system to submit to an alien way of life. Threats are continually being made against those who articulate traditional values, and now “hate speech” is being prosecuted while theft and other real crimes are being ignored.

3. Controlling national borders is essential for national well-being. Great Britain has been trying to decide for the last 60 years whether or not it is European. President de Gaulle did the UK a great favour in the 1960s by blocking its entry into the European Common Market. Eventually, Ted Heath gave away UK sovereignty by signing up for the European Union. The cunning European bureaucrats continually beat the naïve UK politicians to a pulp. Great Britain gave up its rights to its territorial waters and its ability to control its borders and handed its legal system to the Europeans.

   Eventually, ordinary Britons rebelled and voted to exit the European Union in 2016 (“Brexit”). However, this has proved to be an almost impossible task as the entanglement of the UK with EU law has proved challenging to resolve. Rishi Sunak promised a “bonfire or EU laws” but this has proved impossible. Now, the UK government is faced with an increasing number of legal and illegal immigrants. No one in the current government has the will to take the hard decisions to control the UK borders. The situation will only worsen when the Labour government comes to power in October or November. There is a simple equation: no border = no country.

4. The welfare state and self-defense can’t coexist. Few of the NATO countries can meet the requirement highlighted by President Trump for the required 2% GDP expenditure on defense. Great Britain has sent most of its defense hardware to Ukraine.

   Many in the UK have decided not to work, and recent data demonstrate that more than 20% of UK adults are not looking for work. Great Britain now has its highest taxation rate in 50 years  and there will be worse to come under UK Labour.
   
   This presents the UK government with a problem: how can it fund its defense? The short answer is that it can’t unless it dramatically changes the welfare system. Voters will not accept this (just like they won’t accept radical changes to the NHS), so there will be a defense crisis, as there was in the 1930s.

   It may be time for France to implement the strategy that Napoleon could not!

5. Embracing and legislating a “green” agenda is a road to national suicide. In some type of national brainwashing, all political parties in the UK embraced a rush to “net zero”. The UK government announced in 2021 that it had “set the world’s most ambitious climate change target into law to reduce emissions by 78% by 2035 compared to 1990 levels”. This recommendation came from the “independent” Climate Change Committee, a committee of climate alarmist scientists who can be relied upon to promote a climate disaster narrative. The announcement in 2021 by then Prime Minister Boris Johnson saw various emissions reductions set into legislation. One of the results of these legislative changes has been to target agricultural production with requirements for farm “rewilding”, dramatic decreases in cattle and sheep numbers and elimination of fertiliser use. There is no political opposition to the climate disaster narrative, and Labour will likely go even harder for “net zero”. (NB I don’t see President Xi rushing toward “net zero”).

   However, it is good to see that democracy in the UK is not dead just yet. Recently, farmers brought their tractors into Westminster to protest the threat to UK agriculture.

6. Restricting freedom of speech is a final step toward totalitarianism. The UK government toyed with new online laws for several years before passing the UK Online Safety Act late last year. A central idea in this legislation is to try to prevent “legal but harmful” information from being disseminated. This, of course, would include information that highlighted potential adverse effects of COVID-19 “vaccines.” In essence, the Act is a way of preventing any information that the government doesn’t like. The legislation will be overseen by the UK’s own Ministry of Truth, called Ofcom. This is the bureaucracy that regulates communications in the UK and is a type of substantial bureaucratic Big Brother that seeks to regulate every area of communication in Great Britain.

   Now, the Scottish government has introduced “hate speech” laws, and police have been inundated with complaints, as you would anticipate when no one can define “hate speech”. The UK Telegraph journalist Ella Whelan reported a few days ago:

   “Scotland’s new Hate Crime Act played out like an April fools with no end. Police Scotland have been inundated – about 60 reports an hour – with thousands complaining of alleged hate crimes committed by JK Rowling and the First Minister himself. Someone even made a complaint in Siobhian Brown’s name, Yousaf’s minister for victims and community, leading her to suggest that her government’s bill had caused “hysteria”.

   Similar laws are being enacted in Ireland and the EU. The Telegraph journalist Ella Whelan concludes her assessment of various attempts to curb free speech as follows:

   “The only way to fight bad speech – even hateful speech – is with more speech.”

   I agree.

Conclusions

Great Britain has been one of the most influential countries of the West but as I read the daily UK news, it feels as though one is a witness to a slow train wreck. I think that we are witnessing a similar train wreck in Australia and also the US.

Of course things were much worse in 1974. Tom and Dominic from The Rest is History podcast did a series on Great Britain in the 1970s and I have included a link to the first in the series below. They noted:

“Britain in the early 1970’s was a state in crisis, and by 1974, things had never seemed bleaker. Held hostage by the Trade Unions, British industry was flailing. England’s sporting record was atrocious, the economy was tanking and the prospect of a miners’ strike loomed large. Violence was surging in Northern Ireland, as the IRA escalated its bombing campaigns, and the outbreak of the Yom Kippur War would send oil prices soaring, with the miners on the verge on plunging Britain into darkness.”

This mess resulted in Margaret Thatcher coming to power with free-market policies that transformed the nation.

There seems to be no Margaret Thatcher waiting in the wings. Perhaps though, as stated by the English cricketer Cliff Gladwin in Durban, South Africa in 1948: “Cometh the hour, cometh the man”.

ARTICLES THAT CAUGHT MY ATTENTION THIS WEEK

US Government Health Department Hid COVID Vaccine Injuries

Each week, fresh information comes out in various medical journals, pointing to the disastrous impact of the mRNA “vaccines”. Just this week there has been news indicating an increase in cancer rates associated with the vaccines. What also is clear is that there has been a government cover-up of vaccine injuries. The CDC attempted to suppress the Pfizer and Moderna registration documentation, and now there is a report of a further cover-up.

A article in the Epoch Times this week provided important information about V-safe, a text messaging system that was implemented by the CDC as an early warning system about COVID-19 vaccine side effects in the early days of vaccination. The CDC has refused to make the information they received public but after four years, and ongoing legal challenge, the information has finally been revealed. The Epoch Times reported:

“The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has released previously hidden reports of facial paralysis and other adverse events following COVID-19 vaccination…The 780,000 reports were received shortly after the COVID-19 vaccines were rolled out and show that people experienced a wide range of post-vaccination problems, including heart inflammation, miscarriages, and seizures.”

The Epoch Times report continues:

“The CDC, for years, declined to make the V-safe data public, instead publishing studies that described the reports as providing reassurance about the safety of the shots. However, according to data released in 2022, nearly 8 percent of the 10 million users required medical attention or hospital care after vaccination, and many others reported missing school, work, or other normal activities.”

“The first two tranches, comprising 780,000 reports from some 523,000 people, include dozens of reports of heart inflammation, hundreds of reports of facial paralysis, and thousands of reports of tinnitus.”

No health and medicines regulatory body in any country has acknowledged the damaging effects of the COVID-19 vaccines, but eventually, the truth will be clear. Unfortunately, most doctors are completely unaware of this information.

Warnings Preceded Terrorist Attacks But Were Not Heeded

Seymour Hirsch is a distinguished journalist who reported influential stories as long ago as the Vietnam War. He writes a substack and recently drew attention to similarities between major terrorist attacks in Moscow, Boston and Israel. In all these attacks, warnings were given but governments failed to act. He writes:

WHAT DID WE KNOW AND WHEN DID WE KNOW IT?

“Three major events of our time—the 2013 Boston Marathon bombings, the October 7 attack last year on Israel by Hamas, and the bombing two weeks ago of a rock concert in Moscow—were preceded by specific warnings from Russian and American intelligence agencies that were ignored.

It is an astounding pattern of indifference to bothersome warnings that once again suggests the limits of good intelligence collection and distribution. It can also be seen in the indifference in the White House and the Congress to intelligence assessments making clear that there is no chance Ukraine can win the brutal and murderous war that was initiated by Russia two years ago. From a strategic standpoint, that war is over, according to analysts in the Central Intelligence Agency and elsewhere in the community. But on the ground it continues, supported by a White House that is desperately pushing Congress to authorize more billions for the bankrupt government of the equally desperate President Volodymyr Zelensky.

Israel’s failure to anticipate the October 7 Hamas assault is the most dramatic example of neglecting to listen to and take account of a series of Duty to Warn messages from the American intelligence community, whose satellites watched and listened as Hamas instructors trained cadres how to breach the Israeli border in six places and trained others to fly over the border fence in crude paragliders. These activities grew more intense early last fall.

American satellites, as reported widely in the media as well as in earlier columns of mine, also picked up the voices of instructors as they were lecturing Hamas soldiers how to fly and drive across the borders. All of this was relayed immediately to Israel and ignored.”

It is worthwhile to read the whole post. In his book 180 ° - Feargus O’Connor Greenwood, draws attention to a range of “false flag” events where there was government involvement in the “attack”. Such events included Pearl Harbor and 9/11. Hirsch’s article raises many questions and he concludes that:

“If there is a message in all of this, it is a dour one. You can count on the men and women in the field who are watching and listening to do their jobs, but not on the senior officers and officials who receive their warnings. The system is broken.”

The real story may be even more sinister than Hirsch’s conclusions.

The War on the Family

Alex Newman is a journalist, educator and commentator and senior editor for The New American. This week, he has an excellent video in his series: Behind the Deep State. The title of the video is: Real Agenda Behind War on Family, Trans Mania. He writes:

“The war on family being pursued by evildoers, including the explosion of transgender mania at every level, is about restructuring society and moving toward a tyrannical global order, explains The New American magazine Senior Editor Alex Newman on this episode of Behind The Deep State. In fact, from the very beginning, advocates of the sexualization of children understood that breaking down the family would help bring about totalitarian government and Marxism. Now, evildoers are working to capture the hearts and minds of children and drive a wedge into their families at the earliest possible ages.”

Peter Schweizer in his new book Blood Money provides further information about the funding of the transgender lobby. He writes that the Chinese government is seeking to undermine the US by having its supporters fund the US transgender movement. This strategy is designed as one more tentacle of an evil agenda to destroy the foundation of society – the family.

Scotland’s New Totalitarian Hate Speech Law

 Michael Shellenberger writes on a range of topics in his substack:

This is scary

and has drawn attention to the new “hate speech” laws recently enacted in Scotland. He writes:

“The Hate Crime and Public Order Act of 2021 creates a new crime for "stirring up hatred," including related to trans identity. People can be arrested for things they say in the privacy of their own home. They can be arrested for simply being "insulting." And prosecutors need only prove your stirring up of hatred was "likely" not "intended."

You might think this all has nothing to do with you. You don’t live in Scotland. But it has everything to do with you. What you say online could be held as criminal hate speech in Scotland, simply by somebody reading it there.

And it’s not just Scotland. In the US, pro-censorship forces hope a Supreme Court victory will let them once again ramp up censorship demands by the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI.

EU officials are putting in place a sweeping online censorship system that far exceeds in power and scope anything attempted under Communism or fascism.

And last week, European political leaders weaponized their intelligence and security agencies in order to smear everyone from German farmers to conservative politicians as “Russia-linked.”

The legislative rush to stop “misinformation” and “disinformation” will continue and one can see that the next stage is the requirement for a digital ID so that we can be “safe”. Just remember President Reagan: “The nine most terrifying words in the English language are, ‘I’m from the government, and I’m here to help’”!

Australia’s Senate Approves Digital ID

Australia has made the international news with various commentators noting the approval of digital ID laws that have long been on the wish list of all globalists. Alex Newman has written about this in Liberty Sentinel

Australian Senate Approves Digital ID, America Is Next

and he notes:

“Digital IDs were just approved in the Australian Senate and will be coming soon to the U.S. as part of the World Economic Forum-backed global technocratic gulag complete with central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) and social credit scores for all, warned journalist Alex Newman in an interview with Alison Steinberg on One America News.

The bill, which passed through the Australian Senate on March 27, is “putting in place the legislative framework for the phased expansion of the Australian Government’s Digital ID system to include state and territory government services and the private sector,” said Katy Gallagher, Australian Minister for Finance.”

Bill Gates and his cronies have been plugging digital ID for many years and funded ID2020. They must be delighted to see Australia “leading the way” as a test country. It is certain that central bank digital currencies and increased surveillance are only a moment away. At least it will be simple for President Xi to move in!
