Unfortunately I was a witness to that attack on you. I was in lockdown, watching on my phone, as the police shot you and then handcuffed you. Unbelievable behaviour from the so called police who should have protected you. God bless. You have suffered since then but so glad you are documenting this tragic event. This country is absolutely corrupt.

The moment that made my eyes wide open, never to close again, never to trust again. It is not my world, they can have it. The scary thing is 99% of victorians don’t even know it happened.

You’re correct the censorship was so great we saw little of what you’re describing. It wasn’t till latter when I found Substack and independent reporting, that I saw the total horror.

I will not let anyone forget this!! Much love to all those marvellous beings doing their bit to keep this narrative going, to tell our stories over and over again, until one day we can perceive Australia to be free country.

You are truly a courageous soul Micheal, I remember well watching these filthy pigs deliberately attacking old folk to provoke a response from the crowds. I also remember at the National Library warning folk of modern incapacitating weapons, and not to use water to quell the fire in their eyes or nether regions. Australia and most australians chose pusillanimity on those days, and ANZAC myths died with that, never to return in my eyes....Sergeant Instructor APTC Rick Carey

We were so proud and so relieved that people were taking a stand. But who were those storm-troopers? Australian police? It was unbelievable.

Yes, it did not appear to be our normal police or even our military. Something very off about the mystery-mask disguise costumes.

During the aftermath of 2016 Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando, a whistleblower disclosed the private global security force SSSS back then. Organized crime syndicates use them. [eg. governments]

Thank you Michael, for documenting this, so a wider audience (who were oblivious at the time) can learn the extent of the horror that was inflicted on those brave Victorians fighting for our freedom. We must never ever forget what happened.
