Don’t want to get anyones hopes up too much, but I received another phone call from a guy at a recruitment agency today asking me if I was available for work. I gave him the same old story (sorry mate but I’m unvaccinated etc, etc). He was really nice and felt genuinely sorry for me. He did say however that he is hearing rumours that dickhead Dan (actually his words, not mine!) could be dropping mandates against unvaxxed employees as soon as July. Let’s pray he’s right.
July 12th is meant to be the date, it's when the pandemic declaration (signed by Andrews and Foley) is meant to expire, mandates and other nonsense with it. After last time, I really don't have much faith that it will happen. I pray that it will, though.

What industry are you in?
If there's anything this Covid tyranny has taught us, it's work for yourself and be self-sufficient. Don't stay in an industry where Dan can turn off your pay cheque at any moment.

Easier said than done for quite a few people. I am looking for work and have a fake ready to go, I am unsure how well it will work and hopefuly won't get busted.

Hope all my unvaxxed brothers are still holding out and doing OK. I havent been able to work here in WA for 6 months so far. Honestly its been pretty good, but I assume having no income has got to be biting some pretty hard by now.
I saw they chose to extend the mandates even further. Perhaps you should consider moving to another state, friend.

Yeah they said theyll keep the mandates because they want to get the "boosted" percentage up, but nobody would get it if they werent forced to. Another month and everyone who cucked on the first 2 jabs will have cucked again for their 3rd, then maybe we might see an end to the mandates.

Being allowed to work is one thing, but it might be some years before my attitude has softened enough to make me employable again.

Another state or country mightnt be a bad idea, but without any clear safe haven to go to, its not a winning move. I've moved out of the city though, so thats a massive improvement. I can last years on my farm, but lets hope I dont have to.

Health care. So I’ll probably bomb out there as I don’t see hospitals changing policies regarding the unvaxxed. I also have experience in warehousing, so it’s possible that they may relent. However I do agree with you that the best way forward will be to try and “self earn”. Going to be fun trying at age 60 though!

I keep telling all my mates: start a YouTube channel. Seriously good money and easiest 'work' you'll ever do.

A mate of mine left Brisbane and moved to Greece because of Covid BS. He didn't have a dollar to his name. I told him to start a YouTube channel 6 months ago. He now brings in about $1000 a month from views and affiliate recommendations, and all he does is walk around Athens talking to his phone on a selfie stick. He's on track to making a lot more money.

Or look at YBS Youngbloods on YouTube. This guy was an electrician in WA, quit his job and now makes videos where he goes fishing in Exmouth. He's making hundreds of thousands of dollars with a selfie stick and a drone camera.

There's big cash to be made. Need to think outside the box.

Appreciate the advice. I’m not sure how long I’d last on YouTube though as I’ve got a tendency to be very open and critical of the world we live in currently, especially regarding the influence of the insidious “ones n twos” if you know what I mean. Reckon I’d be deplatformed inside a week.

Solid 20 to 25% increase in most of the staples I looked at last time, 30 store brand eggs were $10 now $12 for example. The really noticeable one was there was a small crowd around the bloke marking product down in the chiller isle. This is a firmly middle class area in Melbourne too.
But why? Don't tell me we import Ukrainian fertilizer too? Or are the duopoly supermarkets just being opportunistically greedy and following the price hikes globally?

They are playing their role. Feeding the country and making profits while doing so, is secondary to the promotion of faggotry:

Coles supermarket will now give trans and gender diverse staff an extra 10 days paid leave

‘We know that we have at least 900 team members who identify as transgender or gender diverse.’

Big part would be fuel. Pretty much everything moves by trucks and that's a cost at every point in the chain that'd get passed on. Packaging, labor(e.g. can't get workers), input costs for suppliers (there's not much manufactured here any more), take your pick. It's all spiking.

Have you guys tried cash in hand work? I'm guessing they won't care if you are vaccinated or not cause they are doing the dodgy and paying you cash in hand. I've known heaps of people on tourist visas that go around to shops asking for cash in hand work. It usually get a cash in hand job within a day or two. Asian employers do a lot more cash in hand.

That's exactly what my mate's doing - just comments on the globalist / New Reset and where's best to escape to. He hasn't been deplatformed (yet).

Couldn't quite believe capsicums to be $15 as they're about $3.00 here, so I looked it up.

Coles online says they're $1.48?

I guess they must have fixed something online or maybe sorted out their supply chain issues, I'm not sure, but I and others online have remarked on it. Had a look at reds for Coles, and they are still at around $10 a kilo.
Also, can depend on what sate you are in, too. I know QLD had $12 lettuce for a bit there.

All by design. Australia can (and was) easily be self sufficient but they're now even talking about closing down the last remaining refinery in Australia. Australia exports more food than it eats, so it's all artificially brought on.

They'll just hyper inflate us to death.

If you have the means; buy an acreage and try to be as self sufficient as you can. Land prices are going to soar.

Perhaps the Russian government is simply being a touch petty.
Perhaps there's no real reason for some of these people to be on this list.

Or.

Perhaps this is indirectly. A list of Australian's affiliated or connected to 'The Cabal' / 'The Big Club'.
Even if the public personae wouldn't immediately correlate to being a part of that Sinister group.
IE Andrew Bolt.


Russia has blacklisted 121 prominent Australians from entering its country - adding to the 228 Australians banned in April.

Good thing; Russia hasn't given up on You. You who hasn't sold out won't be on the list.
