For your own good…


While some may think we’re living more of an Animal Farm existence (pigs hatch a coup and overthrow the humans, only to end up in worse shape thanks to a dictator named Napoleon who uses propaganda to obscure his incompetence), Sarah A. Downey – operating partner at Accomplice VC (and Dune fan, gamer and cosplayer) has assembled a comprehensive Twitter thread on why we’re actually living in Orwell’s other notable work – 1984, a cautionary tale of life under communism.
Presented for your edification (and click here or scroll to the bottom for Downey’s July 2020 interview with Benjamin Boyce where she opines on free speech, cancel culture and more).
Things just continue getting worse and worse for Australian citizens under the rule of their tyrannical health regime.
Scenes coming out of the country have been absolutely shocking. In response to the massive protests that have been going on for weeks, the radical-left Australian government has turned to brutal violence against its unarmed citizens in an effort to stamp out the unrest. Gangs of police rove the streets, beating people who dare to disobey before hauling them away.
Authorities have even started ambushing unsuspecting protesters and opening fire with non-lethal bullets at their backs as they flee.
Despite the violent crackdown, the massive protests have persisted for weeks and more people keep showing up. The crowds are so large that the Australian authorities are pressuring the government to issue no-fly zones over the areas with the most people in order to blackout the media.
Now in an attempt to get fewer people to go to protests, Australian authorities are showing up at people’s homes and intimidating them because they’ve made unapproved posts on social media. Recently, two government officials were caught on video when they showed up at an unsuspecting woman’s home and attempted to bully her into not leaving her house.
After the two covid-Gestapo gave the woman a hard time for (rightfully) keeping a camera on them, they explained to her that they had “instructions” to come speak with her specifically because she had been “posting things on social media” about an upcoming protest on Tuesday.
“I’m here to remind you to ensure that you need to stay at home in relation to Covid stay at home orders and if there is or is not a protest on Tuesday – regardless – you still can’t leave [your home] and go to a protest of any sort.“
When the woman recording the video pushes back on them, the pair of goons even admits that protesting is a constitutional right for Australians, but they don’t care at all – they are following orders…
…and you better too – Stay inside, or else.

Terry McAuliffe’s Soviet-style remarks on education came during this week’s gubernatorial debate, where he faced off against GOP nominee Glenn Youngkin, who made parental rights pertaining to education a key piece of his debate argument.
Youngkin drilled down on an ongoing controversy in Fairfax County, where parents are fuming over a public school allowing gay, pornographic material to be stocked in the school’s library. According to a mother who attempted to address the issue with the far-left county school board – only to be silenced – the school library carried multiple books that included illustrations depicting gay sex acts, including gay sex acts between a grown man and a fourth grade boy.
Fresh of his victory in the gubernatorial runoff, California Gov. Gavin Newsom just announced that California’s schools will soon require all eligible public and private school students in 7th grade and higher in the Golden State to be vaccinated against COVID, a first-in-the-nation policy that Newsom says will impact millions of students by fall 2022, or possibly sooner.
The mandate would impact students in grades 7 through 12 and will be imposed during the next semester after (and assuming) the FDA gives full approval for vaccines for children ages 12 and older.
“This is just another vaccine,” Newsom said during a news conference after he announced the “state-wide” mandate, claiming the COVID jab would join “a well-established list that currently includes 10 vaccines and well-established rules and regulations that have been advanced by the Legislature for decades.”

Just when you thought things couldn’t get more insane, a Louisiana company has sent a memo to employees saying they plan to fine any employee with a spouse who refuses to be vaccinated for COVID.
Ochsner Health Systems is a New Orleans-based health provider. Employees received a memo this week explaining that their paychecks would begin to be docked if they carry a spouse on their insurance plan who is unvaccinated. A Twitter user posted a copy of the memo to social media on Thursday morning.
The company claims that it cannot be characterized as a mandate because Ochsner employees have the option of seeking medical insurance outside of their network.
But let’s think about how utterly chilling (and probably illegal) this mandate – and yes, it is a mandate because a rose by any other name and all that – truly is.
Democrat Senator Dianne Feinstein (CA) on Thursday introduced a bill to require proof of vaccination or negative Covid test for domestic flights.
The 88-year-old senator, who has been spotted in airports without a face mask throughout the pandemic, introduced the “US Air Travel Public Safety Act” which would force Americans to show their papers in order to move about the country.
“The U.S. Air Travel Public Safety Act would require the Department of Health and Human Services and the Federal Aviation Administration to develop standards for airlines to verify that a person has either been vaccinated, tested negative for COVID-19 or has fully recovered from a coronavirus infection to be able to fly.” The Hill reported.
A U.S. judge upheld the University of California’s COVID-19 vaccine requirement against a challenge by a professor who alleged he had immunity due to a prior coronavirus infection, in what appears to be the first ruling on the issue.
U.S. District Court Judge James Selna in Santa Ana, California, said the university system acted rationally to protect public health by mandating the vaccine and not exempting individuals with some level of immunity from an infection.
More than 43 million Americans have had confirmed cases of COVID-19 and some opponents of vaccinations have argued that immunity from an infection negates the need for an inoculation.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said on Aug. 6 that a study showed vaccines offer better protection than natural immunity gained from prior infection, which wanes over time.
