Your stories make me cry. I keep thinking I've gotten over all that bs, then I read your story and the memories of anxiety, and mental torture knowing they were lying to everyone come flooding back and I cry. I loved my career and they killed it. I'm trying to let the bitterness go. I'm really trying!
Thank you so much Michael for this short essay, I remember the whole thing like yesterday, I never complied with any of it, I never locked down, jabbed, masked, logged in, QR codes bollocks.
I spent many days alone in the Snowy Mountains stealth camping in National Parks etc. On one occasion I was caught at a a border barrier on my motorcycle. I knew I was going to be in big trouble and the fines were huge. As the officers approached, I had to think quickly, I raised my visor and started coughing loudly, I said " don't come near me guys, I feel very sick and must get home.
They looked at each other in fear, ran back to the barrier, lifted it like prison guards in HOGANS HEROES and beckoned me through. I had false plates so I immediately took off to my next camp and enjoyed a coffee and pie in a small town bakery near the border.
This is a reminder of the rank cowardice that most Australians displayed during convid, the Canadians had the truckers, The British had the NHS staff who marched on 10 Downing Street threw their uniforms at the gate and succeeded in keeping their colleagues in employment.
What did the great nation of ANZAC do? Cowered in their corners over an organism that killed 0.08% of the community, most of whom were in their 80s and 90s. In addition they clapped and cheered as innocent Christians were brutalized, gassed, shot, burnt with LRAD. Snipers and directional microphones, cameras on the roofs of buildings. All manned by armour clad cowards doing their masters bidding.
I was the last man standing at the national library after watching these pigs, smash, stomp and break the camping equipment of little families. I walked up and down the line of thugs in their body armour with assault rifles at the ready and said to them " I've shit better soldiers than you cowards!"
They were going to confiscate all vehicles until the drivers of tow trucks refused because they saw what was going on. I remember well two officers with pepper 🌶 spray laughing like drunks in a bar as they clashed their canisters together in a celebration of their courage after spraying a 90 year old man in the face, he was hospitalized. The paramedics said or did nothing they were complicite and equally cowardly.
Another two officers attacked an old lady because she tapped on on the shoulder to gain his polite attention, throwing her to the ground and injuring her.
Never in my long career as a Combat Medic and Military Trainer with the highly select Army Physical Training Corps have I personally witnessed a level of pusillanimity from virtually all this sad nation. They loved watching the COOKERS getting smashed and discriminated against.
After returning to my home the next day, I received a phone call from my sons obese cowardly wife to tell me my son was dead. Massive hemorrhagic stroke after two jabs.
I loved australia " intentionally small a" and served it with dignity, courage and compassion, NEVER AGAIN! I have just entered my 70s and watch the continuing cowardice, 95 year old ladies, murdered by police in their nursing home, war criminals given the epitome of valour ' THE VICTORIA CROSS, machete attacks, and stabbings in shopping malls. I put it to you that cowardice is more infectious than any virus, our Government and Emergency services set the standard for others to follow......pusillanimity persists everywhere.

Rick Carey, your friend and loyal admiring allied warrior for justice.
Hi Rick, you are the true hero this country sorely needs.
I'm sorry about your son, this is the first time I have seen a description of what happened to him. I was just about the only one in my circle to refuse the jabs (although both my parents refused too, bless them). I got banned from Christmas parties and a wedding, but this is insignificant looking back.
I presume you are in Victoria? Here in SA it wasn't so crazy, and I easily ignored lockdown by driving down the empty road right past a police car at one point: they kept going in their way, and I on mine.
I also got myself a mask exemption organised the week before it came into effect, and never wore them (even when my employer sheepishly took me back, they couldn't make me wear a mask).
My hope for the future is that people realise how we were duped as a nation, and that no-one goes down this path again. I hope that our sacrifices (being ostracized, kicked out of our employment, loss of 'friends,' and, of course, loss of loved ones) will show those who chose wrongly last time what we need to do next time - all of us!
Also, I agree regarding the murder of those in the Nursing Homes who couldn't get out, and whose loved ones couldn't get in. I could tell from the news reports at the time that they were being bumped off, and still no justice for all of those people!
Makes you realise just what kind of country we are living in!
Rick, never lose heart. We are a nation within a nation.
Thank you Neil, do not be complacent, they will get around to us soon, they intend to put mRNA in every soul, why else fund the building of mRNA factories all around the world? Soon saying no will be met with forceful violent mandates. Protect yourself be ready, "better to die than be a coward" Motto of the Elite Gurkha Regiment....UTRINQUE PARATUS
You are right, complacency will lead to defeat. We must stay watchful, stay vigilant, and, above all, stay honorable. We are not like them, and we must never become like them: they will still seek to eliminate or subjugate us, and God doesn't want us to become like them either.
I'll stick with the winning team, not join the wannabes.
But their dreams of immortality - if they are successful - will still end with the ending of the universe... and God will be there to meet them, as He would have met all of us beforehand.
This doesn't help us now, in this life, but we have the chance to be with God in heaven when they finally get their date with Him face-to-face. In that case, the tables may well be turned (although we won't care: revenge will have no place in our thoughts in heaven - this 'humility' will only be for them).
These small e 'elites' don't bother me much, as I have much more important things to contemplate - like bellybutton fluff
Wow, I read, and I read, and I kept reading until I got to the end!
This is the mark of excellence in literature Michael.
Will those pre-COVID days ever come back, or are we forever cut off from them, much like Adam & Eve were cut off from the Garden? Perhaps we will tell stories of those pre-COVID days like the kids of the wilderness did in Mad Max 3...
Thank you! There were few friends who had the strength to remove the wool drawn over their eyes by these demonic, Marxist, technocrat so called leaders...so called pillars (of sand) of the communities. My closest friends came around as we discussed the ludicrous mandates...70% never...to this day they are common sense retarded. I'll remember everything thing you bastards did to our personal rights and freedoms and the destruction of our youth! You are dead to me! Your political ranting and flapping of your nonscience to meet your lies to lockdown and go to the next stage of your psychopathic agendas will no longer work.

In addition several people are standing off to one side out of initial camera-range. Michael Gray Griffith remains off camera as he invites them to speak in turn. As he states at the opening, his focus for questioning is, "what is Australia, or what was Australia, and what are we fighting for?"

3:41
MICHAEL GRAY GRIFFITH: How about yourself, what do you think about this, as a country, [inaudible]?
MAN IN SUNGLASSES: My concern is and always has been about being told, you can't go in here unless you're double-vaccinated. And I had a situation where one of the table tennis clubs I used to play in, they phoned me up and said, some people aren't coming because they're worried about you, and but you can come if you wear a mask. And I said, well, I'm not going to shut my principles away, so I won't come. Oh, hmm, whatever.
Also, I'm a bit concerned that we're becoming the Australian Socialist Republic, which is a bit of a worry because I've seen other socialist republics around the world over the years and they're not the best.
MICHAEL GRAY GRIFFITH: Yeah.
MAN IN SUNGLASSES: And for Australia to slide into that without putting up some sort of, hey, it's not for me, is not what should happen.
MICHAEL GRAY GRIFFITH: Yeah.
MAN IN SUNGLASSES: That's basically what I think about it.
MICHAEL GRAY GRIFFITH: That's brilliant.

[END OF FIRST EXCERPT]
SECOND EXCERPT
6:42
MICHAEL GRAY GRIFFITH: And yourself, would you like to have a say?
WOMAN IN SUNGLASSES: Well my main concern is that somebody telling me what I should put in my body when I've got this far at this age without putting a single pharmaceutical product in my body, that someone should now say I can't go to these certain places unless I have a particular thing in my body. It's extremely strange to me. And I don't think I'll ever understand why— So I've worked at the hospital for years as a nurse—
MICHAEL GRAY GRIFFITH: You're a nurse?
WOMAN IN SUNGLASSES: Yes. And I've never had anything. Never had the flu vax, and I always got all in winter because everyone had the flu.
MICHAEL GRAY GRIFFITH: [laughs]
WOMAN IN SUNGLASSES: I was always well enough to be, to do the shifts. And it's, it's just extremely— it's insane.
MICHAEL GRAY GRIFFITH: It's insane.
WOMAN IN SUNGLASSES: It's insane. That's all I can say. It's just insane that somebody thinks they know my body better than me, who lives in it?
MICHAEL GRAY GRIFFITH: Yeah.
WOMAN IN SUNGLASSES: Excuse me?
MICHAEL GRAY GRIFFITH: Yeah.
WOMAN IN SUNGLASSES: And now we can't go to the Steam and Traction because there's vaccinated only. We can't go bowling. Like, we're retired—
MICHAEL GRAY GRIFFITH: Are you two together?
WOMAN IN SUNGLASSES: Yeah. And it's just, we're just it's excluded. And it's a very small town—
MICHAEL GRAY GRIFFITH: Yeah.
WOMAN IN SUNGLASSES: — and to be excluded from anything in a small town, is it's embarrassing really.
MICHAEL GRAY GRIFFITH: Yeah.
WOMAN IN SUNGLASSES: It's embarrassing. I don't wear a mask. And one incident happened last Friday, I went to the Port Macquarrie Hospital because my husband had an appointment, and I hadn't been there for 3 years, since his last appointment. And I was met with not the usual, how can I help you? It was a masked person, looked like robot to me, behind a board with a big blue arrow that said, go over here. And I'd already— and she was pushing these masks with her hands for us to put on. And I said, I'm not staying, just making sure he's OK and I'll stand outside. But there was this list of instr— demands. Now demands. Have you been overseas? I'm thinking, who's been overseas? Like, wake up! Who has been overseas?!
MICHAEL GRAY GRIFFITH: [laughs]
WOMAN IN SUNGLASSES: Are you sick? I'm thinking, oh, goodness sake! It's— and so I could see that she could be replaced by a plastic robot in the next few years.
MICHAEL GRAY GRIFFITH: Yeah.
WOMAN IN SUNGLASSES: Every one of them behind a counter looked like a robot to me. Repeating this thing. I couldn't see them. I can't actually— if someone's got a mask on I can't identify them as a human. To be honest, in my eyes, they're no longer human, I can't see them. I don't know how to relate to them. I just walked out. That will be my last time through the front door of door of a hospital. I would rather die at home.
Your stories make me cry. I keep thinking I've gotten over all that bs, then I read your story and the memories of anxiety, and mental torture knowing they were lying to everyone come flooding back and I cry. I loved my career and they killed it. I'm trying to let the bitterness go. I'm really trying!
what was your Career?
Was/am an RN still hanging on by a thread. If I don't do some proper nursing work soon, will have to give it up. At least I can drive a bus I guess!
That's funny: I was driving buses in the thick of it, and they eventually tossed me out of my job! I should train up as a nurse, maybe...
I'd take you as my nurse any day! Thank you!
Thank you so much Michael for this short essay, I remember the whole thing like yesterday, I never complied with any of it, I never locked down, jabbed, masked, logged in, QR codes bollocks.
I spent many days alone in the Snowy Mountains stealth camping in National Parks etc. On one occasion I was caught at a a border barrier on my motorcycle. I knew I was going to be in big trouble and the fines were huge. As the officers approached, I had to think quickly, I raised my visor and started coughing loudly, I said " don't come near me guys, I feel very sick and must get home.
They looked at each other in fear, ran back to the barrier, lifted it like prison guards in HOGANS HEROES and beckoned me through. I had false plates so I immediately took off to my next camp and enjoyed a coffee and pie in a small town bakery near the border.
This is a reminder of the rank cowardice that most Australians displayed during convid, the Canadians had the truckers, The British had the NHS staff who marched on 10 Downing Street threw their uniforms at the gate and succeeded in keeping their colleagues in employment.
What did the great nation of ANZAC do? Cowered in their corners over an organism that killed 0.08% of the community, most of whom were in their 80s and 90s. In addition they clapped and cheered as innocent Christians were brutalized, gassed, shot, burnt with LRAD. Snipers and directional microphones, cameras on the roofs of buildings. All manned by armour clad cowards doing their masters bidding.
I was the last man standing at the national library after watching these pigs, smash, stomp and break the camping equipment of little families. I walked up and down the line of thugs in their body armour with assault rifles at the ready and said to them " I've shit better soldiers than you cowards!"
They were going to confiscate all vehicles until the drivers of tow trucks refused because they saw what was going on.
