"South Australian Senator Alex Antic was taken into hotel quarantine under police escort in Adelaide on Thursday night. The senator who has been very vocal against vaccine mandates is now forced to quarantine for two weeks.
The bizarre incident comes after Prime Minister Scott Morrison insisted in an interview last Friday that the senator has received both doses of the COVID vaccine."
"The senator was asked by ABC Radio Adelaide on Friday why he was taken to a hotel to quarantine for two weeks to which he responded:
“That’s a very good question.
I’ve been a person who has been very, very vocal about mandates, vaccine passports, discrimination, government overreach and bureaucratic overreach.
Now all of a sudden I seem to have been singled out in what appears to be a political stunt and the only inference you can really draw from this is this has been quite premeditated.
My wife and my three-month-child are now at home for another two weeks without me.”"
So now they are using these delightful "quarantine hotels" to detain political dissidents. How much further does this need to degenerate before Covidians start saying that maybe this has gone too far?
You have reminded me of what that swell guy Joseph Goebbels used to say, "think of the press as a great keyboard on which the government can play"... We must resist this nonsense, we must push back.
So wait a sec: the pictures were taken in August, before there were regulations regarding confinement, at the place where the confinement is now taking place?!?!?! Does anyone else find this a bit suspicious? Gosh, it’s like they knew they would need these pictures one day.
Lehmann and Quillette both turned out to be massive disappointments. What at first seemed to be a publication (and publisher) for open-minded discourse, she and Quillette did a shocking 180 into propaganda and infantile takedowns of anti-narrative dissent. I canceled my subscription a while ago.
Wow. Perhaps they will come up with a TV Sitcom similar to “Hogans Heroes” in the process. Maybe sports Illustrated can do their annual photo shoot Swimsuit issue there too. The possibilities are indeed endless.
They are camps. They are to concentrate the "unclean" (ie positive test, friends or people the police just think were acting in a "covid dangerous way").
There is no process or appeal to get out.
The guards are "bureaucratically evil". They are just following orders for your own good. (see video in attached article).
Just because they don't treat the inmates like Auschwitz, does not mean they are not another form of concentration camp...
Great post. Claire Lehmann's transformation beggars belief and I have watched it in shock. Quillette was my go-to place for thoughtful, non-conformist, politically-homeless articles before Substack even existed. Somehow Claire has gotten swept up in whatever madness has captured Australia, seems incapable of questioning Australian or Big Pharma storylines, and now believes in enforcing full-blown fascism and risky medical treatments against what is for most people a sniffle, even as so many of her own people cry out for freedom.
If I could tell Claire something I would suggest she go to ANY government official and ask ANY skeptical question of ANY kind. Surely she has read SOMETHING on the internet that has caused her to questions SOMETHING her government or big pharma has said. And then when she asks that question she will see that she is simply not allowed to ask it and she will get in trouble for asking it. As the old saying goes those who do not move do not notice their chains. Or something like that.
As for Quillette it's hard to see how its reputation ever recovers.
This reminds me of the private juvenile detention center scandals in some parts of the US. Juvenile court judges got kickbacks for sending juvenile offenders up the river to these places for a long stay at taxpayer expense...often for minor infractions.
Sending people who "might" be infected for a two week stay is a red flag.
Who is making bank on these luxurious Covid Camps in the Land Down Under?
Is there any doubt whatsoever in anyone's mind that leftist swine such as Comrades Biden, Harris, Newsom, Whitmer, Huchol, etc. etc. etc. ad nauseam would hesitate to do this here in the U.S. if given the chance?
How in hell did we get to a point where half the country votes for these people and supports things like vax mandates and passports, masking toddlers and all the rest?
And will literally believe anything, no matter how contradictory or absurd?
I feel like I'm living in a completely different country than I grew up in.
This is terrifying. Canada, too, has built "camps." At this point, I think we are far too many to herd us up. But this, from yesterday, this is also chilling:
This is Canada. New Brunswick. Coming everywhere, I am sure. They want to starve us out. See second point and second last point.
"The entire province will be in Level 1, the lowest level of restrictions, when the plan goes into effect Saturday. It includes the following rules and guidelines:
Informal indoor gatherings limited to 20.
Outdoor gatherings limited to 50 people.
➡️ Unvaccinated residents should avoid informal indoor gatherings.
Masks will be required in outdoor spaces when physical distancing can't be maintained.
Malls, grocery stores, salons must enforce physical distancing.
➡️ Malls, grocery stores, salons have the option of requiring proof of vaccination from all patrons.
I highly doubt Tim Pool sent his "followers" to attack anyone. What a joke.

"Voluntary Camps" that people are willing to climb over barbed wire fencing to escape from - hmm

"and the edge-lording handwaving of “this is not auschwitz therefore it’s not evil/authoritarian/a fundamental violation of rights/etc” goes on."

This is exactly what those fools on Twitter say about the "vaccine" protests of the people who wear yellow stars.
"You're disrespecting the holocaust! It's just a vaccine! How can you say that! It's not the same thing!"
Maybe that's the point, you feeble-minded jackass.

What a stupid time to be alive
But wait, man ... do I get a babe if I go to the resort?
Do reporters understand that they will eventually be lined up and shot? Cf. "useful idiot," you idiot reporters!

Democracy isn't really possible without a free, fair, and adversarial media.
Ladies, you are truly sirens, but I still can only see the background.

Set to last until SPRING!
