Urgent Attention: Under the Cover of COVID

65

by Felicity Hingston

Our ‘friendly’ government wants to track your spending and snatch your savings!

While we battle the distractions of the ‘deadly’ cold virus; the legality of the ridiculous containment ‘measures’, the efficacy and availability of alternatives to a vaccine – and so forth — plus the lure to the various impending lawsuits against government and health authorities who have failed us… etc.

There is yet another agenda going on before our noses — total financial control.

BUT there are valiant defenders of our financial freedom, and they need our support!  

The Financial Agenda

Australia Citizens Party (ACP) media release 2 Oct 2020 says:

“The Senate on Wednesday 7 October will vote on the Morrison government’s bill to extend the trials of the Indue cashless welfare card. These trials are part of the government’s and banks’ creeping cashless agenda, to force Australians into electronic payments and effectively trap them in banks. The government’s bill to ban cash transactions over $10,000 is part of the same agenda. While Australians angrily reacted in huge numbers to the $10,000 cash ban, which sparked an insurrection against the bill in the government’s own ranks, too many have failed to recognise the cashless welfare card is a foot in the door for the same agenda…

“…the program to force Australians into a cashless economy system that will enable the private banking cartel and government to ‘monitor and measure’—their words—the financial activities of every Australian.”

This release is titled “Your grandma is next! Fight Morrison’s creeping cashless economy agenda”.

Make Your Voice Heard

To oppose this push to trap us all into a cashless economy, call cross-bench Senators Jacqui Lambie, Stirling Griff, and Rex Patrick before Wednesday to demand they oppose the bill.

Indue Welfare Card

The push for the welfare card (i.e., CASHLESS) is to ensure that welfare recipients in highly disadvantaged communities spend their money ‘responsibly’ — but, don’t fall for that! The card is really a totalitarian technological short-cut — to avoid addressing the real causes of welfare dependency and drug/alcohol abuse in such communities. The program on ‘trial’ is intended Australia-wide, to include recipients of the aged pension also.

The government calls the pension “welfare”, a huge insult to those who have contributed all their lives (‘Your grandma is next’). The trials already include recipients of disability and carers’ payments.

On 11 September 2019, the Citizens Party exposed how the Indue cashless welfare card is part of the broader push for a cashless economy.

The banks are already successfully using the pandemic disruption to reduce cash & get people to rely on electronic payment systems.

The $10,000 cash ban has been stalled through public backlash – it’s officially still in Parliament as a bill and the government has gone ‘very quiet’ on the issue. But we must keep fighting!

This cashless welfare card is a significant step.

The Australia Citizens Party (ACP) media release 23 Sep 2020 warned: “Two months to win the fight to protect Australian bank deposits from ‘bail-in’”.

In brief, Malcolm Roberts (One Nation Senator) does not trust the wording of the 2018 law (passed without a quorum, at the 11th hour, on the 14th of February, 2018) — “Legal analysis of the crisis resolution powers legislated secretively for APRA in February 2018 has confirmed they could be used to bail-in bank deposits” — and is seeking, with his amendment bill, to amend the 2018 law to explicitly exclude deposits.

The government is resisting any change to the law, denying that deposits can be bailed-in. However, it admits the law is from the Financial Stability Board (FSB), which applies bail-in to bank depositors! The FSB and the IMF are directing Australia to implement stronger bail-in laws like those in NZ, the EU, and the US, which apply to deposits.

ACP states three points being asked of the House, that is to:

  • pass Senator Robert’s bill
  • block the stronger bail-in legislation the government is planning
  • rescind APRA’s crisis resolution powers and pass instead the Separation of Banks Bill 2019 to protect deposits from speculation.

My Bank Visit

On a recent visit to my bank, which has decided to change accounts and, to give them credit, sent me enough information that I was able to understand what my options were, I asked the young employee: Did she know anything about ‘bail-in’ (It is no secret that bank employees have incentives to hold deposits with the bank that employs them). She had NO IDEA!

So, I can only guess few people are looking at this, let alone ‘joining the dots’. It ‘looks fine’, since few people, myself included, have the ‘supposedly exempt’ $250K. No worries….

Unless they pull a swiftie (oh, would they?) and just bail in anyone or everyone?!!

Government has a history of shifting the line in the sand, and this could well be just that.

  1. “The government is resisting any change to the law, denying that deposits can be bailed-in”.

    In law there is no such thing as a Bank ‘deposit’, all money placed with a Bank is actually a loan to the Bank as explained by professor Werner in the following video.

    Prof. Werner brilliantly explains how the banking system and financial sector really work.

    • Yes as PM Julia Gillard wanted to extract 5 or 10% from everyone’s bank account to pay for the GFC (bank crisis) so the executives could keep getting their $1,000,000s + bonus arrangements, she is very socialist-minded, we should all be on minimum wage type of thing, Gina Reinhart feels the same but would have us on $2 per hour (globalised rate).
      Keating would have us all trust the execs with our future pensions, while they are asset-stripping companies and doing share buybacks to try to make the dividends look bigger.
      The prospects are getting so bad it might drive people back to gold and silver when they get sick of being ripped off.

      • Crisscross767- an interesting confirmation of my understanding. Thank you.
        Whether the average depositor actually understands the ‘system’?
        Prof. Werner says “the whole Basel capital approach doesn’t work” VERY disturbing given the following: https://www.aph.gov.au/Parliamentary_Business/Committees/Senate/Economics/CrisisResolutionPowers/Report/c02 (Financial Sector Legislation Amendment (Crisis Resolution Powers and Other Measures) Bill 2017 [Provisions] /Report/ Ch 2.
        Conversion and write—off provisions
        APRA clarified that its capital framework provides for CET 1, AT1 and T2 capital in accordance with Basel III, and further, that APRA has no proposal to change this.
        From the same aph report c02:
        International best practice
        The GFC in 2008 prompted a global response of nations to maintain stability in such a future financial crisis. In 2011 the Financial Stability Board (FSB) developed its “Key Attributes”, an international standard for resolution regimes. Member countries were ‘encouraged’ to undertake any ‘necessary legal reforms’, and at the G20 in 2011 Australia endorsed the FSB’s Key Attributes of Effective Resolution Regimes for Financial Institutions.

        Re Your comment “without our knowledge or permission” – since when has that been any different?

        dsw – Yes, from their positions of ridiculously high (taxpayer-funded) salaries, they preach socialism! Worth noting that, during this whole Covid plandemic, who have kept their salaries, even considering the annual 2.5% pay rise? Of course, public servants were essential services.
        Wasn’t parliament ‘closed’ (or at best very restricted)? Just how much ‘work’ did they do? Credit to Premier Gladys, Adam Crouch & co! https://www.smh.com.au/politics/nsw/berejiklian-insists-nsw-mp-wages-be-frozen-20200521-p54vba.html 21 May 2020
        But wouldn’t it have been ‘nice’ to see the teachers on board?

        Werner mentioned ‘inequality’ – he was referring to the banking system, but Covid is contributing seriously:
        #WFH (Working from home) “has enormous implications for inequality”. An interesting piece by Adam Creighton in the Weekend Australian 4 Oct: https://www.theaustralian.com.au/commentary/coronavirus-recession-is-going-to-hit-poor-hardest/news-story/aa77f370a0f39282e8341d6a8209512b

  3. In Australia, Bunnings and e.g, a local baker where I live started to refuse cash months ago.

    But just now, I went shopping in the local IGA supermarket, IGA being a national supermarket chain that locally in my outlet, removed the social distancing stickers and one-way aisle stickers some weeks back.

    I thought at the time that this was due to SA being officially Covid-free (does this mean the State ran out of fake PCR tests, irony off).

    Well, I have been disabused. Approaching a checkout just now, I hear for the 1st time a suave female voice on the PA saying that IGA preferred cashless payment. No threats, no deadline (yet). This voice must have been recorded at or by Head Office, I think.

    The checkout girl did not refuse my $10 note and was not wearing gloves or mask. Interesting.

    Now Syd Morning Herald says just now that western Sydney is to be hit the hardest by Covid poverty.

    So are such people generally bankable, ie able to pay cashless via a bank account? are there signs the normie sheeple are tearing up their lawns to plant veg and beans instead?

  5. Dr Schoning reccomends that we do not sell to, or buy from or work for organised crime.
    We need to find new ways of transacting with eachother.
    Voting may not make much difference,
    but shopping still does.

    • I agree Richard, one of my neighbors dropped some BIG swedes over the fence for me a couple of days ago. I’ve never seen such big swedes in my life. No way my wife and I can eat one of them. So, I’ll have to give a couple of them away to other families with children.

      The same bloke left a bag of broad beans on the fence this afternoon. I’ll probably have a bunch of them for dinner.

      I dried a couple of kilos of overripe bananas last week, so I’ll swing by his place and drop off a bag of the dried bananas (he loves them). I’ll also drop off a bottle of my homemade vodka for his wife, she likes to convert it into ‘Southern Comfort’ with some mix that she has.

      No promises, no cash exchanged, just a ‘gifting community’ where we look after each other. Which reminds me, I’ll have to crack up some macadamias for my next door neighbor. He’s been working pretty hard on a tractor and can probably use a kilo of macadamias.

      • In contrast –

        “Why should we believe in God? We hate Christianity and Christians. Even the best of them must be regarded as our worst enemies. They preach love of one’s neighbour, and pity, which is contrary to our principles. Christian love is a hindrance to the revolution. Down with love of one’s neighbour; what we want is hatred. We must know how to hate, for only at this price can we conquer the universe…The fight should also be developed in the Moslem and Catholic countries, with the same ends in view and by the same means.” (Lunatcharski, The Jewish Assault on Christianity, Gerald B. Winrod, page 44)

        • Yes, it’s the the old antipathy between those “Messianists” who want a conquering hero to subject all of Mankind to an elite of “chosen ones”. The wretched Judas who thought he could provoke Jesus into being the ultimate conqueror by forcing Him to “bash right up” the civil and religious powers of the time is the archetype of all narcissistic/megalomaniac ambitions before and since.

          Rightoh! Mr Judas and all your mates, pride, dominance, subjection, brutality, can never extinguish truth and virtue even if it is relegated to the Catacombs.

  6. It’s abundantly clear to me, the youth of Australia support such a thing 100%. Every time I’m anywhere near a check out, younger people always, without any urging from the cashier, simply swipe their cards and walk out the door happy as. Whilst I on the other hand, dig my wallet out and count out the paper money to pay for my transaction. Once outside the store, catching up to the young folk, I ask them why they are so eager to do cashless payments, answer, faster, easier, quicker and does away with the need to carry money. The FACT that they are building up a record of all their spending habits is not even on the radar. So it looks like it’s only us old farts who can see the wood for the trees, and no doubt, we’ll be culled out of the equation pretty soon.

    • Around 20 odd years ago I was at a check out in Dural, NSW and the teenage girl in front of me had a Snickers bar, a bottle of water and a trashy ‘movie’ magazine on the counter. The cashier tallied it up and her card couldn’t cover it (I was amazed, first that she would use a credit card for the purchase and secondly that the card couldn’t cover it). The girl pulled out another card and tried it, same thing. She then pulled out a third card and tried again, same thing.

      A short conversation ensued with the cashier and the girl put the Snickers bar back on the rack and the transition went through. The Snickers bar was the only thing of substance she had picked up and she put it back – she kept the bottle of water and the crap magazine.

      I looked out side to the public water fountains and wondered why the air-head thought she had to purchase a plastic bottle of water.

      It is moments like that that that are illustrative of what the future of Australia is to become.

    • Eddy, you are totally correct, although there are varying responses eg it’s not just convenience, but PROGRESS. And “I’ve got nothing to hide” (ie tracking is only a concern for the guilty?) They have NO IDEA of the ramifications – total loss of privacy… and they don’t seem to care! After all, how much do the millennials share on Facebook and the like? I recently explained the overwhelming negative response to the Australia Card to my son. He’s gloriously up-to-speed, but admits he’s a rarity. One great suggestion from my better half: “Ok, if you’ve got nothing to hide, give me your bank details, including your pin number”. I hope the ACTUAL culling doesn’t start for a while – I’d like a little longer to see how this plays out!
      Terry, I haven’t seen a young person drink from a public water fountain in years!! the plastic bottle of water is almost a status symbol – I bet they don’t even know about the chemicals it leaches into the water! Then again, perhaps they’re afraid of Covid on the tap, or the fluoride in the water??

        • what a win! A friend told us about fluoride over 30 years ago but back then I was naive and trusting. is it climate change that is exposing the true mass of the iceberg and so, global warming is good?? (lol)

  7. Sign in Woolworths
    ” We will be making some changes to the way you can pay in this store.”
    ” We will no longer accept cash payments or offer cash out facilities from :
    12 th October 2020.
    These Governments are and have been for a while, using the private and business sectors to implement their agenda by stealth.
    We must NEVER loose cash. If we do we are finished folks. Sweeden is regretting it already.
    Sign the petition, and get on to your polies.

    • And who are the major shareholders of Woolies?? HSBC, J.P.Morgan, National Nominees, and Citibank. The banksster already control the food distribution.

    • Peter, I have never seen a ‘No longer accepting cash payments’ at a Woolies, Coles (or a Bunnings store, as one previous commenter on Gumshoe stated).

      You can be sure that if I ever were to encounter one, it would NOT be enough that I casually mention to a junior staff member that I will no longer be patronising that store.

      I will demand that I speak to the manager and will be having it out with them and telling him (not that I know this to be the law – but I’ll run with it anyway), that he legally CANNOT refuse legal tender banknotes and coins and should he do so, I will be taking legal action.

      Further, I will ask for the particulars of that indivudual which is senior to him in the region and DEMAND that this nefarious rule be rescinded forthwith.

      Lastly, I ask all Gumshoers WHAT they’re doing to prevent the onset of this cashless economy.

      Like many of you no doubt, I have a direct debit facility in place to pay off recurrent utility bills, phone/internet etc and payments to the ATO using B-Pay from time to time.

      That aside, ALL the rest is paid by CASH.
      All supermarket purchases, clothes, whitegoods, electronic items, you name it – nothing but CASH.

      If as many of us as possible did this, the SHEER WEIGHT of cash transactions would entail that no retailer would ever contemplate making the switch.

      Nothing to hide on my part. I have no undeclared income sources, no under the table sources of revenue.

      I only use my credit card sparingly (book purchases from overseas sources mainly), never used tap and go in my life and have no intention of starting.

      I merely go to the ATM on a regular basis and withdraw the maximum each time ($ 1K) and go about my business.

      I strongly suggest you all do likewise.

      • Gumshoe readers in Sydney take note : I live in the Sydney area (inner west) and I would like to hear of any major retailers in this part of town that have the ‘No cash payments’ dictate.

        I’ll take note of them and next time I’m in need a of a product of theirs, I will go to that particular store and purchase items and front up with CASH.

        Then, when it’s refused by the check-out-chick, I will demand an audience with the manager and HOLD UP THAT aisle for as long as possible whilst remonstrating with management.

        Last week I went to a Subway store (Syd suburb of Beverly Hills) and they demanded a cashless payment.
        This was told to me AFTER the footlong sub had been made.

        I told them I only carry cash and said : ‘No problem – you eat my sub, I’m going somewhere else’.

        Instantly, I got the reply :’ OK, as long as you have the correct cash amount (I didn’t), it’s fine’.

        I ended up giving them a dollar or so less (either they take my $10 bill or my $20).

        Bottom Line : They WILL take your cash and if they lose a few bucks on the deal because they were too complacent to have the appropriate change on hand, that will teach them a valuable life lesson that ‘The Customer is Always Right’.

        • Do try to be polite. Imagine someone videoing it on their phone.
          I feel the same frustration but you lose your cause if you lose it…

          • Thanks for the heads up Justin.

            Yes, will be civil throughout and speak calmly because, quite rightly as you say, I can do the cause more harm than good by ranting like a lunatic.

  8. The RBA stated that there was very little risk of getting covid19 virus from cash. The reason people are switching to electronic payment methods, in preference to cash is due to the lack of customer service at the Banks, you know the ones People First, etc. The banks are reading from the same script probably prepared by Anna Bligh. So, we see the closure of branch banks and the reduction of hours, closing at mid-day.

  9. I help Dave make his sileage. he gives me some lambs which I can cut up and feed to my kids.
    Such a mundaine matter, who would ever care?
    Well actually they do.
    Ordinary human relationships like the ones described by Terry above are considered by some as very threatening.
    The powerlesness of peasents has been taught in educational institutions for centuries.
    Now we have masks and social distancing.
    Hope these times teach people to love eachother more.

  10. Everyone should get off Woolworths for two reasons apart from automatic payments where the bank will be taking a cut.
    1. They (and Coles) are major shareholder owned by JP Morgan a huge merchant banking outfit which I only read in the paper a couple of days ago a very small article saying they paid a $1b fine for manipulating the metals markets (gold silver etc I presume). $1b is probably not all that much but goes to show they have many tricks and that is one.
    Another trick for example was buying shares and not declaring the trade until 3 days later. So if the trade lost after two days, they shunted it into a pension fund. If it was going up, they put it in their portfolio. They had 100 days straight of winning trades because of this “technique”.
    2. Woolworths is a confectionery store, there is a bit of fruit and veg at the front but this is just imagery. Fruit and veg costs more there so not that many buying it. Keep away from the confectionery and save money on doctor and dentist later. Farmers should collectivise and do deliveries. If they don’t get onto it themselves, someone else will have to do it for them. It is a niche that is going begging. Farmers, do you want Bezos to do it for you ?
    You can still go to Woolworths if you want a chocolate bar.

    • Farmers tend to handle huge volumes of produce, and redirecting it all is no simple task for already busy people. Everybody who has a product or service of any kind has a part to play in an economical war.

      • They have a guy in Western Australia who has beaten Coles and Woolworths at their own game came up from just a farming family. He had a lot of legal battles with the agriculture dept. Now he is probably on his way to his first squillion.
        Farmers start things then eventually it seems the spivs move in and take over.
        Bunnings also started from a farm supplies chain “Westfarmers” and a WA timber mill.

    • Don’t forget that Woolworths also record the faces of all customers who are silly enough to use their self-service checkouts (well documented in media articles & recently mentioned by a fellow GS commentator). WW say they have introduced this practice to help them control theft from the self-service checkouts but we know it’s really about facial recognition technology & creating a database of same. Also, if you haven’t already, consider ditching the loyalty cards from Coles, Woolworths, Velocity etc as they track your purchases & movements just like all forms of electronic banking does. Only loyalty cards offer you ‘rewards’ to suck you into their data collection programmes.

        • Doctors implement the “Best Practice” agenda (especially in the Public sector) because they fear they will have no insurance coverage if they step outside of that and something goes wrong.

          The corruptibility of the “Best Practice” model of care is evident in the Hydroxychloroquine affair.

          • Dr Paul Thomas (on The Truth About Vaccines) spoke directly about this regarding the US children’s vaccine schedule. Even delaying put the paediatricians at risk. No doubt it is the same in Oz.
            I wonder if reaffirming their hypocritic (oops, I mean Hippocratic) oath is an element of ‘continuing professional development’.

  12. debating the issues is great, but Please folks, consider supporting the ACP. I’m not a pensioner, but when will government extend their (over)reach to seniors and superannuation members? Or put all our info on our medicare card? Freedom is worth fighting for – at least that’s what I grew up to believe, having had family fight for it (albeit naively)

    • Felicity, rest assured I contribute to ACP and have signed petitions and made a submission at their request to Senate Economics Committee and have contacted various Aust, senators by mail and phone, more are pending this week.

      Albanese’s office flunky was priceless, he seemed resentful about being called up by people like me on this topic as it was part of a concerted campaign. That is the ALP concept of democracy for you.

      Possibly he would have fawned inclusively and compassionately and diversity-based all over BLM types or assorted feminists or Muslim private security firms…

  14. Similar to ‘Oliver Twist’ the oligarchs have us begging for more. The new normal?
    In my neighbourhood, people who seem like minded and rational, are saying they can’t wait for the vaccine and that they’ll be the first to line up for it. Thinking that, then the restrictions will be eased and they can get back to ‘normal’. With creeping convenience, at the ‘cheque out’, wondering if there ever was a normal. Musk plans to drill a hole, the size of a five cent coin, in the skulls of everyone for convenience. It’s time to walk away from artificial insanity, but can we?

    The oligarchs, that masterminded 911 run the private reserve banks of all nations, in this global webnet gulag. In fact, the villains have become the heroes emulating success and greed – the ultimate new age religion for the future. The reality is they are leading us to the slaughterhouses.
    In social settings, they smile and seem so understanding, until you do business with them. Then their true colours surface and we witness the beasts of this system. Doesn’t matter, the left right goose step, the head of the serpent is one.

    • Terry, referencing your post below, it’s great to hear that the Germans are having inquiries into Covid.

      Not so the British, who are going the way of authoritarianism :

      In the video, Tobias Ellwood, Tory MP for Bournemouth East specifically mentions “managing the narrative”, which is no surprise considering his role as a former Army officer, a current reserves officer, and his known affiliation with the 77th Brigade.

      For those who don’t know: The 77th is the British army’s team of “facebook warriors” – an information warfare unit whose job is to “counter misinformation”, “manage the narrative” and generally corral and control the internet conversation.

  15. Apparently the Germans had an inquiry into the Covid-19 bulldust and came up with heaps of evidence that it was a shamdemic. They are now preparing for a class action suit. Long video, but it contains heaps of evidence that should be made available to everyone.

    • A very interesting talk

      “Is there a Corona pandemic or is there only a PCR test pandemic? Does a PCR test mean that a person is infected with COVID-19, or does it mean absolutely nothing in connection with COVID-19?”

    • Yes very interesting especially how they are trying to program the kids to keep away from the grandparents. I always find it interesting how the trend in education is to split up families and grade kids so they feel uncomfortable outside of total conformity. By cutting off grandparents they will cut off the oral history and things like their cultural background. This is incredibly ambitious and devious. There should be a building boom in luxury jails for all these white collar criminals if this mass-class action works out. The scale of the scam and this response is amazing. Lucky the Germans can remember Hitler and learn from it. The Japanese were brainwashed to forget their history which was partly blanked out. Chinese also who I talk to in Australia, never heard anything about Deng’s Tienanmen Square Student Massacre until they came here. Brainwashing is massively in fashion with the oligarchies. Yellow vests and Hong Kong etc has made this inevitable. Internet cuts both ways.

      • There’s a reason the Chinese nationals have heard precious little about the alleged ‘massacre’ at Tiananmen Square.

        That’s because, for all its shortcomings, the Chinese media was actually more honest than the western media on that issue.

        The fact is, what we in the west know about this incident comes courtesy of the corrupt western media (in particular that disseminated by the CIA infiltrated U.S media).

        This article is instructive :

        http://www.sinomania.com/CHINANEWS/tiananmen_perspective.htm

        Some interesting passages :

        “WAS THERE A MASSACRE in Tiananmen Square?

        To paramount leader Deng Xiaoping, the situation in the Chinese capital was a vivid reminder of the excesses suffered during the not-so-distant Cultural Revolution and he feared civil war. The police gave up attempts to contain the crowds and stood by idly as Tiananmen Square was barricaded. In the early hours of May 21 martial law was declared in the five central urban districts of Beijing. By this time, Tiananmen Square was a giant cess pool. Sanitation workers tried in vain to cope with mountains of human waste and prevent outbreak of disease as the temperature swelled. The rest of May 1989 was a hopeless stand off between the government, which felt threatened and without options, and the core group of student protesters who wanted impossible concessions.

        Early morning June 4, 1989, Tiananmen Square was cleared by army troops. A Spanish television crew filmed the retreat of the remaining 5,000 students and hunger strikers from the square just before dawn. They had negotiated safe conduct from the military at the last minute. Deng Xiaoping wanted NO deaths to result from breaking up the demonstrators and clearing Tiananmen Square. Chinese leaders instructed the army that soldiers should not turn their weapons on innocent civilians, even if provoked. For the most part, this desire was realised. But as troops and tanks made their way to the square confrontations erupted on the streets of Beijing. According to government and eye witness reports, most of the deaths occurred when tanks crashed through barricades erected at the Muxidi bridge, in the western suburbs of Beijing.

        The first press reports of 2,600 to 3,000 casualties in Tiananmen Square were prompted by the USA Central Intelligence Agency, according to respected Dutch journalist Willem Van Kemenade. Immediately throughout the world, press agencies and wire services reported that thousands had died. A USA State Department Briefing the morning of June 4, 1989, reported 180 to 500 deaths. Renowned sinologist and Yale University professor Jonathan Spence has used the figure of 700 deaths in his writings on the events in Tiananmen Square.

        On June 6, the Chinese government released information that 300 people were killed in clashes on city streets (but NOT in Tiananmen Square itself) including 23 students. Another 400 soldiers were either missing or killed. Five thousand soldiers and 2,000 civilians were reported injured. But by then the idea that thousands (even ten or twenty thousands) of “pro-democracy demonstrators” had died in Tiananmen Square was already rooted in popular consciousness throughout the world.

        Other than the official Chinese information, no reliable evidence of deaths has ever been produced by anyone on either side of the issue. As Jay Mathews, former Beijing bureau chief for the Washington Post has said, there is no evidence anyone died in Tiananmen Square."

        That’s right Gumshoers. There is NO EVIDENCE ANYONE DIED IN TIANANMEN SQUARE that day.

        Be honest readers. If you’re like me, the defining image you’ll remember of that day was of that student standing in front of a tank and was thus blocking a column of them from passing.

        When said tank manoueuvred to go around the student, the student moved once again in front of it.

        THAT’S IT !!

        That ALL was saw of this so-called massacre.

        BOTTOM LINE : If you didn’t hear it from G Edward Griffin, Ron Paul, Dr Kevin Barrett, Michel Chussudovsky, The Unz Review or scores of other entities with impeachable integrity that also have an impeccable bio that can be traced back decades in many cases (sorry Zio-Dave of X22 / Qanon – no one knows anything about either of you or what CIA/Mossad rabbit hole you emerged from), then you should be highly sceptical.

        • The entire Tiananmen Square narrative was based on CNN (et al) carefully editing said video to ensure our television screens were saturated with false inferences in order to control our opinions.

          Our memories are based on a classic example of collective brainwashing via the power of suggestion – they show us a deliberately misleading edited clip and infer in our imaginations that a certain outcome ensured – and then that becomes ‘knowledge’ and we form opinions and make judgements about others based on that false ‘knowledge’.

          Terry wrote an excellent article here on Gumshoe on the topic of the Mandela Effect – “I could have sworn it happened in a certain way” (that our manipulated mind – or fading memory- holds as ‘truth’).

          Here is my opinion – I deeply RESENT being lied to, especially when the deceit has been designed to influence my opinion negatively about an individual or a group.

          • And so you should be cross – fancy losing all those telemetry tapes!!

            Just wait until you realise that ‘George Bush and the Saudis’ were just distractions – at best bit players.

            … And that’s only one of the layers.

            It took me years to be totally comfortable and warmly trustful of a very esteemed German colleague. There were subjects that you just knew could not be raised – because of vile despicable liars like Elie Wiesel, Irene Zisblatt, Herman Rosenblat, Joseph Hirt and countless others – including Steven Spielberg.

            Sick bastards!

          • Hypothetically, if Greg Hunt hired Daniel Andrews to do a massacre at St Kilda Beach and Daniel did it and Greg paid him $50k per head, who would be in the slammer the longest do you think.

          • Bob Hawke had a big cry about it, obviously a keen CNN watcher, he was crying a lot as Keating was starting to nip at his heels

          • Your posted link has certainly filled in a few of the gaps for me – excellent Fish.

            The explanation was simple all along.

            The Tiananmen Square event was a ‘failed Western Intelligence agency backed colour revolution’ all along.

          • Julian, I had not looked deeply into Tiananmen Square so thank you (I think) for the ‘nudge’.
            A big deal is made of Sir Alan Donald’s ‘declassified’ reports and what they reveal in https://allthatsinteresting.com/tiananmen-square-massacre (strange that the google search gives this article the date 4 June 2015, yet it includes information not revealed until 2017??)
            Whilst this article leans to the Western media account of things, I found it intriguing that, at the end of the article, it gives a link to pictures of “the Mai Lai massacre, and the war crime the US got away with” https://allthatsinteresting.com/my-lai-massacre-photos.
            Whether the ‘real’ truth will ever out?

            This may be of interest, though not necessarily of help.. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/opinion/2019/06/06/commentary/world-commentary/tiananmen-narrative-true/ by Ramesh Thakur.
            It does pose an interesting question, particularly in the context of Victoria/Covid lockdowns/Belt and Road – freedom OR progress for your country?

  19. Twelve months ago I was very busy campaigning in my local circle to educate & inspire others to write protest submissions to the Senate Committee investigating the proposed Cash Ban bill legislation. During the process of researching for my own submission I learnt all about Indue & their cashless welfare card. I was disgusted to find out the cost for supplying & managing each individual card was almost $10,000. All being paid for by the good old taxpayer straight to Indue & a government department: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-05-02/cashless-welfare-trial-costing-taxpayers-$10k-per-participant/8488268
    Did you know that one of the Indue bigwigs is former National Party MP Larry Anthony? Indue is but one part of an enormous agenda to make our (& western) society cashless & therefore controllable via accessibility to your bank account, data collection of your spending habits, restrictions in how you spend any government payments you receive & ultimately, bail-in of your bank deposits. To understand the overall cashless society agenda being pushed by our government (both major parties) you really need to understand the NPPS-New Payment Platform System. The NPPS is owned by 13 business, including HSBC, the Reserve Bank of Aust, our major banks & surprise, surprise Indue!
    Melissa Harrison put together a website called (exposing) ‘The Black Economy’ which has an astonishing amount of research about this whole subject, all cross referenced with linked proof of the facts she presents. This is the link to her documents page which has a paper about the NPPS: https://www.exposingtheblackeconomyreport.com/
    Her ‘conflicts’ tab makes for very interesting reading. The government’s, banks & conglomerates (like KPMG’s) agendas are startling clear & deeply concerning.

  20. It would be prudent to recall the Icelandic Banking Crisis following the “GFC” of 2007.
    The very entrepreneurial Icelandic banks got some very cheap credit from international sources (much as ANZ here was boasting some years ago) and took on so much debt that the Icelandic Krone went down too much, they couldn’t pay and they had deposits from a lot of European speculators who they also couldn’t repay. So the Icelandic government decided the citizens could bail out the banks!!! Well Iceland was started in the same fashion as the USA, a rebel colony, so everyone rebelled, and wouldn’t pay, and they didn’t have to pay, so the British and Dutch speculators lost their money !!! How sad.
    If you reading, don’t want sadness like this in Australia consider that if you have offshore money with places such as HSBC, ING and whatever, that you may be similarly placed and equally sad in the near future if you don’t bring it back here quickly and put it into some tangible asset, even if it is your kids’ mortgages.
    Gee that makes me wonder exactly where my super is now, the ANZ said about a year ago they were moving it into some other company … sounds like I could be about to lose the lot.

  21. Ps As anyone knows the Greeks and Irish actually did lose a whole lot, they got burned very bad and are very grumpy as a result, I think this may have permanently altered their views on Wall St banks.
    The Greek finance minister is very active on youtube so here he is Yanis Varoufakis explaining how some of the ripoffs are done

  22. Teresa Teng (Deng Li Jing) was the biggest singer in Asia equivalent to Elvis or even bigger.
    Late in her career she started talking about the Tienanmen Square Student Massacre.

    She went to Chiang Mai to keep a low profile but one day she went downstairs of her luxury hotel and did a few songs. Sometime after she was bashed and found dead in the hall outside her suite.

    Of course there is an official story. First they tried blaming the boyfriend, then they said asthma.
    The official story, a sanitised sort of version, would be more appealing to many.

    I have been in the hotel room, it’s $20 get in, they keep it full of fresh flowers 35 years later.
    When I came downstairs the taxi driver said to me “Did you cry”.
