The Melbourne Tinderbox and Why Americans Should Pay Attention
September 21, 2021 | Sundance | 436 Comments

An inflection point has been reached in Australia with the government COVID-19 lockdowns, forced vaccinations and now, vaccine passports. What is happening today in the state of Victoria, specifically the Melbourne metropolitan area, is an outcome of more than a year of heavy-handed government rules and regulations deaf to the voices of the average man, woman or family. There is a middle class & blue-collar backlash taking place, and Americans would be wise to pay attention.

Things recently came to a head when the Premier of Victoria, Daniel Andrews, began outlining the rules and regulations for opening society back up after almost a year of total lockdown. The always futile attempt to block the COVID-19 virus through a policy known as “COVID-ZERO” was abandoned. The new approach is to open up society and the economy by forcing everyone to take the vaccine, and then allowing only the vaccinated to participate in the economy as varying percentages of the population are double-vaxxed, and admittedly, later, booster-vaxxed.

Vaccination passports will be required to work, shop, attend events and essentially live
in the New World Order Premier Andrews has created for the citizens of Victoria. The day after Andrews outlined the new rules – the working class, who have been locked down and compliant to this point, finally had enough.

♦ On Monday 9/20 [AU time] a large group of members of the biggest trade union in Australia, the Construction, Forestry, Maritime, Mining and Energy Union (CFMEU), went to CFMEU headquarters to confront their leadership, CFMEU Secretary John Setka.

Their demand was essentially simple – to have their voices heard and use the power of the trade union to stop the Victorian government overreach. The union members wanted their leadership to block the new vaccine mandate and stop the creation of a two-tiered society as outlined by Premier Dan Andrews.

However, regional union secretary John Setka turned a deaf ear to the concerns of his members and would not listen.
Angry at his members Setka asked, “What do you want me to do, shut it down?“, meaning use the power of the union -strike if necessary- to push back against the government. The members said “yes”, exactly that. However, union boss Setka was unwilling as it appears he’s in alignment with the objectives of the Premier.

This is a familiar scenario to many, particularly in the United States. Union leadership in bed with government and disconnected from the underlying union workers. This frustrating situation led to a very physical confrontation at the CFMEU union headquarters. Quickly, Steka surrounded himself with thugs and bodyguards while turning against hundreds of his own members. The police then arrived and used rubber bullets, tear gas, and riot units to dispel the crowd.

In response to the defiant nature of the CFMEU trade union, Premier Dan Andrews announced he was shutting down the construction industry as punishment for their non-compliance. Simultaneously, union boss Setka then went on media to attack his own members calling them fascists, Nazis and worse. This only made the issues more explosive.

The media reporting of the events of the past 48 hours has been brutally biased in favor of the Victorian Government and union boss Setka. The union members were described as a violent and angry mob putting the health and safety of the entire state at risk.

Again, this biased perspective, approved by the government, only makes the issues worse. The common man and woman have no voice, and they are being told by government, media and now union leadership to just “shut up and take the jab.” Many Americans can relate to this frustrating dynamic.

♦ On Tuesday 9/21 [AU time], the trade union members took to the streets in even larger numbers, now joined by blue-collar workers of all stripes who identify with the cause. Even workers who did not previously like the union members or their prior political tactics are joined in common cause over the issue of COVID-19.

The protesting ranks swelled. Tens-of-thousands of non-union workers joined with the trade union protesters in solidarity.
Notice this is an interesting repeat of history when you consider Poland in the 1980s and the working class alignment to push back against the totalitarian regime of the former Soviet Union.

Once again the Australian media, government and defiant union leadership refuse to listen to the now tens-of-thousands marching in the streets of Melbourne. The situation is a powder-keg of frustration and anger, and the manipulative media spin about the motives of what is taking place is only making things much worse.

The people of Victoria are being divided by government, media and now the corrupt union leadership. However, the working class is resolute in their demand for freedom, free choice, an end to the lockdown, and the refusal to accept forced vaccinations.


There are some in Australia predisposed to just trying to avoid conflict and simply take the vaccination. However, there are others just as determined not to be forced to accept an unproven medical treatment with undetermined future consequences. As a result, the vaxxed Victorians are being leveraged against the un-vaxxed Victorians by a massive psychological operation driven by government and manipulative media. The ‘system’ per se’ is attempting to crush the voices of those who will not give up their freedom.

The government of Victoria, much like the government leadership in the rest of Australia, are taking a zero-sum approach and using the full weight of their power -often unconstitutionally authorized- under the guise of a public health emergency.

While the United States has not yet arrived at the same level of outrage, in part driven by a distinctly different constitution that outlines the inherent rights of Americans, it is very clear that we too will soon arrive at this point now visible on the streets in Melbourne.

Do not be naive to the fact that U.S. and Canadian government officials
; those in direct ideological alignment with the leftist perspectives of government in Australia; are not paying close attention to what is happening there in preparation for when both the U.S. and Canada move to block the unvaccinated from participating in society.

The vaccination passport methods, processes and procedures being tested right now in Australia are soon to arrive in the United States. Electronic check-ins and QR codes deployed to track the movements of vaxxed and unvaxxed are being tested right now in almost all states in Australia. We The People in America are only a few weeks or months away from having to make the same decisions that middle-class Victorian workers are faced with right now. This is why you should pay attention to what is happening there.

The population of Australia (26 million) is small by comparison to the U.S. (350+ million), and as a result, the dynamic will be exponentially more explosive when it arrives here.

Socially, Americans are more geographically spread out than Australia, as most of their major population centers circle the coastline. Factually, the population of Florida or Texas is essentially equivalent to the entire population of Australia. The economy of the U.S. is also substantially larger and more diverse than down-under. However, those points only emphasize how significantly more explosive the same scenarios may become when the Biden regime attempts to follow the oppressive process now being witnessed in the Melbourne region.

Do not anticipate any support from CONservative Republican politicians.
As we have witnessed in the past two decades, there is only one overarching ideology in the Washington DC UniParty. They too are more than comfortable with a class society where the elites are disconnected from the laws, rules and regulations they force upon the underclass.

The rust-belt of America was created by both Democrat and Republican administrations. The globalist worldview favorable to the multinational corporations and Wall Street run through both political parties in the United States.

As a result of this UniParty process, we have witnessed massive institutional manipulation. In many ways we are already a divided nation dealing with two sets of justice as determined by your position in society. Two sets of rules. Two sets of standards. Two different classes for who must wear masks and when.

This corrupt and manipulated system is what generates the flames…. that heats the slow-boiling pot… we are trapped in. Our efforts to fight or push back have been met with even more oppressive approaches by government, media and Big Tech. Yes, the tinderbox in Melbourne Australia is very much in our future…. Take heed.

Melbourne, Australia – COVID Compliance Minister Daniel Andrews Vows To Squash The Trade Union Rebellion and Puts More Armed Police in Place For Day Three Confrontation
September 21, 2021 | Sundance | 277 Comments

It started with a few hundred on Day One. Then Grew to several thousand on Day Two.

In preparation for Day Three of the trade union revolt, Victoria Premier Daniel Andrews promises to punish the protestors and orders thousands more riot police into the city of Melbourne to crush the rebellion. Victorians will take their forced mRNA gene modification, or they will die trying to resist it.

daniel-andrews-and-Lisa-Neville-Melbourne-Police.jpg


Using the state media to push his warning against non-compliant citizens of the state lockdown, Premier Andrews was joined by Victorian Police Minister Lisa Neville and Police Chief Shane Patton in charge of the jackboots. Andrews, Neville and Patton promised to use the full weight of police tactics and riot squads to crush any protest group who attempts to unlawfully assemble. [Video Below]

Laughably, the head of the local police, Jackboot Shane Patton, accuses the protesters of attempting to hide their alignment with the trade groups by purchasing yellow “hi-vis” vests from the local WalMart stores. This, he claims, is an organized effort to make the scale of the protesting trade union appear larger than it is; and he sells this as evidence of a right-wing conspiracy to undermine the state authority. Apparently the head of the jackboots has never heard of the “Yellow Vest” movement, which is now being duplicated in Melbourne.

Yes folks, this is the scale of psychological manipulation now being pushed against the citizens in the formerly free-range state of Victoria, Australia. It would appear the ministry of COVID compliance do not believe their citizens have access to the internet.

(Sky News) […] Victorian Police Commissioner Shane Patton [pictured left] stressed residents planning to gather in the city for a third day of protests will be met with new tactics and more police resources on the ground.

“I’m not going to step through the amount of police that we’re going to have on deck today, I’m not going to talk about what our tactics are save to say that those tactics will be different and we have significant police numbers,” he said. He added while there were many members of the construction industry in the rally, there were also “representations” from right-wing groups.

“We know from what we have been monitoring that people are being encouraged to put on high-viz gear, to put on workwear, to come in under the cover of a crowd and not necessarily trades people, but people who are tied up with the Freedom Rally, people who are tied up with other issue-motivated groups who seek to hide under the cover of this demonstration,” he said. “We know that’s occurring. So it’s a very mixed crowd.” (read more)


The compliant and united state-run media attend the press conference like sheep. Not a single journalist would point out to Jackboot Commissar Patton that wearing a “hi-viz” vest is simply a message of solidarity amid freedom loving middle-class patriots around the world. What a joke. WATCH:

Tension is building in a number of countries around the world as the anger of the populace rises. More and more are throwing off the shackles of mandates and edicts. There is going to be bloodshed at some point and I feel that point is getting closer every day. Be wary, be aware and be prepared.

There are also articles on the Main Coronavirus thread.

There was considerable damage from the EQ. Construction workers will be needed for repair and rebuild. They may have the government over a barrel.

France, Germany. England and other countries have had enormous protests. Even the US has had protests. Australia seems to be the potential spark to turn them globally from peaceful to more "rigorous."

Australia was really one of the worst in current authoritarianism, but it seems strange that all these countries are implementing the same COVID strategies and the end game appears to mirror what the CCP has in place to tamp down and control its population.

I dunno. American's can be pretty fat and lazy. If any sort of check is coming in all will be quiet. Probably won't cancel the ebt cards, now will they? Only white middle class Americans will be put through the wringer. And what will they do? Bitch and moan on Twatter and make YT vids. Doubtful we see any WHITE protests like in AU.

I am just shaking and praying. I know there is going to be much bloodshed there.
the police are the soldiers but not the generals.
just a thought, think of what a few very determined 'assassins' (or call them whatever you want) could do to take out the generals (and by generals I refer more to order-givers overall). a whole lot of mob violence and killing could be avoided if the bosses weren't there to give the orders.
just saying.

"seems strange that all these countries are implementing the same COVID strategies"

Nothing strange about it, if you look at it from the perspective that it's all designed and executed at levels above sovereign countries. They are following the directions of the UN, WEF, IMO.

The way the US is set up to govern it will be harder to implement an AU style of tyranny. Not that they won’t try it, or that the blue hives won't go along with it. But there are vast swaths where, just like the mask mandates, people will ignore it and go about their lives.

But I have been known to be wrong....too many times

I expect the two-steps-back to remain the modus operandi, stateside.

Americans will forgive their government the most draconian atrocities, if, within a day or two, their government takes the obligatory two steps back.

Then again, rinse and repeat; meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

They made the decision to follow those orders.

They and the "Generals" are all of equal guilt.

The problem with stopping after just pushing back is those that enforced and gave those orders are still around to do it again and they are not punished.

They need to be eradicated so that this can never happen again. To ensure that it does not the black flag must be raised.

All we need do is finally learn from history, and see to it that the new boss lives the remainder of his life in mortal fear of merely looking at a free man with less than humility and subservience exuding from his every pore.........and teach our children and grandchildren to exact the same, without hesitance, consideration or mercy.

Once a month, take a vote in the community and determine who has been the most outspoken and resistant among the public servants and hang the winner without ceremony.

Does not matter that the police are "just the soldiers". Enforcing unjust laws is one thing. Firing upon your fellow countrymen earns you a rope from a lamp post just like the "generals" in this scenario. And I suspect that family members of those cops will get similar treatment as retribution for the cops betraying their countrymen.

It will be no different here if this madness comes to out shores.
