Wow Michael you have written a beautiful piece which arises so many emotions in myself. I consider you such a brave approachable soul/spirit.

I witnessed the overreach in Melbourne, I attended most protests, working throughout lockdown in Lonsdale St, I never wore a mask or QR coded, resorted to having to carry papers which stated I could travel into the city everyday for work.

I returned to UK as my mum had breast cancer late Nov 2021, I also renounced citizenship in order to fly out as I refused the vax, they would not give me an exemption to fly without being jabbed, not an easy decision as my sons, daughter and grandchildren all live in Australia. We all have our stories and we all fight for freedom regardless of costs, which there are many.

I see your posts daily from UK, your journey although hard is an inspiration for myself, you help to keep my fight for freedom and justice alive, you help so many expect nothing in return.

Now Michael we support you, we pray and know you are chosen to shine a light in places where others fear to go.

We send love, prayers and smiles, thank you for everything you have done , get better you Aussie Battler, we need you🙏🙏💕

1.30 AM is a great time to feel the presence of your soul. Understanding humanity in a nonsensical world. Although the world is understandable, some humans aren't. Reading your words, and knowing you, caused a brief disconnect between my mind and my emotions. First, rage and anger; then, stillness. I instantly found myself back in Victoria in 2020, reliving the machine's violent rage. Whether a machine works well or not is down to its operators: some are good, some are malicious. Currently, in Australia, despite being a minority, the malevolent hold the most power. This moment marks a change. It's not about awakening people; they're either accepting or devout in their belief system (government). Yes, it's compassion, just as you described so well. The very essence of what it means to be human in chaos is this connection. I am seeing glimpses of that light as I walk the streets of the region where I live. The collective resistance was powerful. Yes, I've walked that path, as have many others and continue to. But what has changed, at least for me, is that I stopped reacting and starting responding. That small action unexpectedly connected me with many people, irrespective of their stance on the pandemic. Despite daily pressures and the chaos caused by a minority (government), a compassionate person endures. I found it and I found them. Of course, it was always there. As the saying goes, "it's me, not you".

Much love to you, mate. May your healing be as strong as the journey that led you there.

Beautifully written, and it brought tears reading it, I’m happy you are ok, and that your experience was one of care. You are right, the staff in those places are amazing (mostly). The corruption, lies and cover ups, in my experience, come from the top, and the regulators.

Like the police that shot fellow Australians, there are still health care professionals covering up the crimes of those higher up, where care and compassion for fellow Australians is placed aside for fear of being targeted themselves.

We all need to heal, ourselves and our country. Sometimes I wonder if we ever can, or will 🙏

A small amount of kindness goes such a long way. Especially when you dont expect it as I wouldnt have either going into a hospital these days. So very glad you are on the mend now Michael. Take time out to rest and contemplate. I've had three close calls myself and it sure changes your perspective! I always enjoy reading all of your work Michael - it is inspiring !!

Hi Michael, I have been following your journey before and after I met you at a park in Marybough in Qld. It was October 2023. I have been through the mill since January 2024 when I suffered a stroke.I tried to fix myself after going through an extreme headache which went on for 3 days. I was so afraid of going to hospital as being unvaccinated they told us constantly we wer'nt worthy of care. I had a CT scan done and was told I had a bleed on the brain it had stopped but I had to get on medication to stop further bleeding , I ended up taking medication that I reacted to and ended up with panic attacks as the pain would not go away, I really thought I was not going to make it. The hospital was wonderful . They helped many times with panic attacks going to the hospital. I now know it takes time , I was so weak. My doctor said eat, rest and sleep so I took her advice and in time I got stronger. I only take asprin now. I did end up at the hospital with severe constipation from all the medication and I thought is this pain ever going to end. At the moment I have had a bout of Rhemotoid Arthritis in my hands which is painful , but I just grin and bear it and do the best I can. Take one day at a time and never give up you are a treasure to us all with your humanity towards everyday people, you have helped me so much to come to terms with the injustice going on in the world today. May humanity win, and helping people is more valuable than all the money in the world. That's how I feel in finding ways to help the people who have been vaccine injured is a major priority now, they need to be taken seriously.All the best Michael.

We have idiots "running" our beautiful chosen (also a 10 pound pom) country. And we have wonderful people living and working here too. Glad you didn't need to be attended to by a politician! Also glad your life has extended by a few more years xxx

Oh! My dear friend Micheal, I am happy you have been guided by God through yet another ordeal perpetrated by a cowardly nation. Amidst your faith and confidence in the medical industrial complex, remember they are still employed which means they chose to acquiesce and take multiple genotoxic jabs.

Their integrity and morals were compromised when they did that. 4 years ago they would have been baying for your blood and refusing help. Don't let your current situation, and their " cupboard love " as my nan used to say, fool you..

Their debt and mortgages would again be upper most in their mutated brains. Never lose sight of that demonstrated fact! kindness is a commodity that can and will continue to be bought. True good Samaritans give care and love on a NOT FOR PROFIT basis.

By all means survive, and take what they give, but never loose sight of the reality of their true behaviour. Demonstrate your respect and kindness to them, whilst keeping these unequivocally demonstrated facts in your mind. The danger is still clear and present, ask questions, demand to see the treatment schedules and medications. Above all NEVER FORGIVE OR FORGET.

I joined the Army as a boy at 15 years of age in 1970, I served in the Commonwealth regular forces for 2 decades. First as a Combat Medic, then later as an Elite Military Trainer all over the world. I witnessed many horrors, I saved many lives, I walked into the valley of death countless times for you!

What did I get in return? My precious son was taken from me just as we were getting to know each other, your evil vaccine mandates killed my boy Harrison Carey.

I am never going to forgive or forget the betrayal of most. You stood cheering as old folk, families, pregnant women were brutalized by cowards in body armour. Never have I seen such cowardice demonstrated with my own eyes.

The ANZACS have been betrayed, I have been betrayed, 60,000 excess deaths means tens of thousands families betrayed.

Never again, will I risk everything for this Commonwealth, I was young and foolish to believe all your lies and myths.

Wonderful to hear the details of all that has transpired in reality and also in your heart Michael. I am a retired Nurse/Midwife of 50 years. Compassion and care are in my dna, as it is with most nurses. I’m so glad that was your experience.

We still need hospitals and hospital staff. I hate that the staff are forced to take certain jabs. The flu vax is a yearly mandate still. 😪

In 2021 I had to call an ambulance twice - once for rapid Atrial Fibrillation that needed cardioversion, and the second time for a badly shattered wrist after a fall. Couldn’t heal those by myself. And just a few months ago, my daughter fractured her wrist and my husband sustained severe arm and facial burns from a cooking accident. Again, emergency care in hospital needed. So, bless them and all they do. I hope the con jabs do not do our medical and nursing staff any further harms, and that they can stay strong and healthy and continue to care, because we need them all! God bless you as you heal Michael. xx ❤️🙏🏼

Spirit alive in the now as you here with me. It's a great blessing to have words such as yours to read.

A thought. For a human to come into this dream world an egg must be fertilised. It will only occur with calcium ions making a charge. We are born of a spark. We are literally born of energy and haven't you used it well!!!
