Australia has gone uber-nuts with their COVID lockdowns. They’re shutting down protests, deploying batons and pepper spray. They’ve even pepper sprayed children. They killed 15 dogs because they didn’t want people coming to get them. And going to church?
A tip to Crime Stoppers has blown the lid on a church service at #Blacktown, attended by 60 adults and children.
The gathering has been described as selfish and arrogant, as cases in the suburb surged.

Seriously, watch that. It’s like they’re reporting on a group of terrorists planning to blow up the Sydney Opera House being busted. From the link
The pastor at a Sydney church busted for holding an illegal sermon in a COVID-19 hotspot last night told a congregation earlier in the day “the lockdowns are over”.
NSW Police found 60 people at the Christ Embassy church in Blacktown about 7.30pm after a tip-off to Crime Stoppers.
It was just hours before a curfew which prevents people in high-risk 12 LGAs in Sydney’s west and south-west from leaving home between 9pm and 5am came into effect.
Before authorities arrived and handed out about $35,000 in fines, Sydney pastor Marvin Osaghae gave another sermon earlier in the day.
“In the name of Jesus, we refuse every lockdown in our cities, in the name of Jesus go ahead and pray,” he told the congregation.
The service, which was live-streamed on social media, also included multiple performances by singers and bands not wearing masks.
For the later service, people had travelled from across Sydney’s west, police said, including Canterbury-Bankstown, Fairfield and Liverpool, police said.
Thirty adults were fined $1000, and the church was fined $5000.
Police also said there was no QR code check-in system being used by the church.
I’m wondering if the citizens of Australia are going to push for and demand a Bill of Rights? Because there is none. Some states have them, usually rather limited, but, nothing national. And the next round of elections should be interesting: do the citizens vote out all the pro-lockdown pro-authoritarian politicians? As a sidebar, just imagine police going in force like this to a black church here in America to shut them down, arrest them, and fine them.
President Joe Biden urged private businesses to “step up with vaccine requirements†for employees, forcing them to get vaccinated despite looming hesitancy and personal concerns, all while failing to address the crisis in Afghanistan during a public address on Monday.
“I’m calling on more companies in the private sector to step up with vaccine requirements that will reach millions more people,†the 78-year-old president said as he delivered remarks at the White House following the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) approval of the Pfizer vaccine for those 16 and older.
Guy can barely read his teleprompter, and he wants everyone forced to get the vaccine. Yes, I’m pro-vaccine, but, if people want to take the chance, that’s on them. Dr. Doom went further
Fauci added, “But the other thing that you just mentioned now is they’re going to give a lot of incentive and backing for a lot of institutions and organizations and places of employment to mandate, and that could be colleges, university, the military, organizations that employ a lot of people, some of the big corporations are going to say if you want to work for us in person, you’ve got to be there and get vaccinated. I think that’s a good thing. I know I respect people’s freedom, but when you’re talking about a public health crisis that we’ve been going through for well over a year and a half, the time has come. Enough is enough. We’ve just got to get people vaccinated.â€
He respects your freedom. But not enough to stop you from being forced to get the vaccine. Meanwhile, pediatricians are saying it’s a big no-no for kids under 12 to get the vaccine now that the FDA has given full approval of the Pfizer version.
