Here’s our Friday roll-up of the most ridiculous stories from around the world that are threats to your liberty, risks to your prosperity… and on occasion, inspiring poetic justice.
Australian Woman Describes Two Weeks in Quarantine Camp
A 26 year old woman from Australia, Hayley Hodgson, was forced into a quarantine camp when one of her friends tested positive for COVID.
Hayley was threatened by police with a $5,000 fine if she didn’t “voluntarily” go to the camp for two weeks of isolation.
She spent 14 days in the camp, despite testing negative for COVID three times; she has still never caught COVID.
During her time in the camp, she was threatened with another $5,000 fine for leaving her small outdoor deck to take her trash out without a mask on.
Keep in mind that Hayley is an innocent person. She has committed no crime.
She was not informed of her rights, she was not given legal representation, and she was threatened with being held longer in the camp if she didn’t follow the rules while incarcerated.
Hayley says:
“You feel like you’re in prison. You feel like you’ve done something wrong, it’s inhumane what they’re doing. You are so small, they just overpower you. And you’re literally nothing.”
While in COVID jail, Hayley lost her job. But don’t worry, the government gave her $1,500 to compensate her.
In totally unrelated news, Australia’s economy shrank 1.9% in the second contraction since COVID began.

Australian Cats Will Soon be as Unfree as Their Humans
For much of the past two years, Australian house cats have had more freedom than Australian citizens.
But now in one Australian city, cats will have their freedoms curtailed on par with their humans.
The city of Fremantle in Western Australia already bans cats from golf courses, beaches, and parks.
Shockingly, the local cats don’t abide by these rules, despite their owners being liable for fines.
So now the Fremantle town council has voted to effectively ban cats from being outside, unless they are on a leash.
Amazingly enough this new ordinance doesn’t seem to have anything to do with Covid. Local authorities simply say that this rule is for the cats’ own good, to keep them safe.
It’s clear that their pandemic powers have gone to their head so much that now they have to make up new rules to keep house pets safe too…

San Francisco Suspends Cannabis Tax to Help Businesses Compete With Drug Dealers
Taxes and regulations have made legal marijuana so expensive in California that the illegal trade has continued… and flourished.
Now, San Francisco city supervisors have unanimously approved an ordinance to suspend the city’s cannabis tax.
San Francisco Supervisor Rafael Mandelman confirmed that the tax suspension was necessary in order to help the legal marijuana dispensaries compete on a more even playing field with the illegal drug dealers.
This is a shocking display of economic literacy for San Francisco.
Apparently these progressives can learn… but only when it comes to their pet projects, like drugs.

NYC Banks Advise Staff on How to Avoid Crime on Commutes
Bank of America has advised its New York City employees to “dress down” when they come to work at the Manhattan office in order to avoid being the target of crime.
Senior executives say that dressing too nicely or wearing clothes with the Bank of America logo are more likely to make criminals think employees are a worthwhile target.
Citibank is also taking measures to protect its New York City employees from rising crime rates. The bank set up a shuttle for employees because the subway has become too dangerous.
To be clear, we are not talking about typically dangerous nooks and cranny of New York City.
These commuters are coming through Penn Station, and Times Square— the epicenter of New York City’s tourism and high life, and heading to the banks’ swanky offices in Midtown and Wall Street.

New York City Opens Drug Shooting Galleries
Meanwhile…
New York City has opened two Overdose Prevention Centers to allow drug addicts to “safely” inject heroin and other drugs while monitored by professionals who can reverse overdoses.
On opening day, there were five overdoses at the clinics.
No word on whether a COVID vaccine is required to enter the drug-shooting galleries.

The dumbest idea EVER is to give those ignorant Australian tyrants nuclear subs.
They will end up sinking one and poisoning the ocean with radioactive materials or starting WWIII with their COMPLETE AND TOTAL INCOMPETENCE.
Then you better not read about Japanese Nuclear reactors. Or at least read about it lying down.
URGENT for UK Citizens:
UK Government (Boris Johnson in full statesman acting mode) made a TV announcement tonight (12-12-21) that they are bringing in the Military from Monday (and Boris said he was stopping Hospital Investigative Procedures including testing for Cancers) to ensure that every man and woman in the UK receives a 3rd “Vaccine” (which they are calling a “Booster Jab” by the end of January 2022.
1000’s of volunteer “Vaccinators” will also be called in to help existing NHS staff, Health care Professions, and the Military deliver “Booster jabs” to over to 1 Million people per dayfrom Monday to the the end of January 2022.
Clearly the UK (like Australia, New Zealand, Germany, Austria, and Israel) are using the full resources of the State to get this job done by early 2022.
There now seems to be significant time pressure to get this Satanic serum into as many veins as possible as often as possible, and as quickly as possible.
We need to key an eye on the UK now and see how they use the Military in this roll out – ie, just logistics and planning, or door to door stabbing arms.
How Boris got Legendary status from Taki’s magazine.
During the Thanksgiving very liquid lunch, when I revealed that Boris had been my editor for close to a decade, everyone wanted to know what he was really like. I said he was baggy, sweaty, and sprawled all over the place, but what redeemed him was that he daily made love lying inside his roll-up desk during office hours until one woman slammed it shut and…ouch. That’s how legends start.
Under Northern Territory law, close contacts of a Covid case must quarantine for 14 days and be tested at the start. The woman in question 1) did no quarantine, and 2) intentionally lied about quarantining and being tested when questioned. As a result she was snatched up and put into a quarantine facility.
I disagree with these things entirely. But quarantine laws are not unusual, and most govts have some version or other.
The author says “ Keep in mind that Hayley is an innocent person. She has committed no crime”. That is in fact a lie. She indeed broke NT law, and could have suffered significantly more penalties.
We can argue the right and wrong of it, and it is surely wrong, but she absolutely and unequivocally broke the current laws, and lawdogs grabbed her up as a result.
Good little brown shirt. ^
So stating facts is no longer a reasonable position? Only lying to support a narrative is acceptable. What the fuck happened to this place?
Am only looking for someone who could possibly convince Admin to ride the obvious wave of support, put his donatometer to 60 or 70 even and embrace the wave of dollars coming his way. One of you more discrete big dogs write a little post about how the wave of support is welcome and the new goal is $60 -$75,000.
It ain’t greed when it gets the kind of attention it could cause in blogworld.
I was just looking at this and thinking where could I post this for a little end of year boost… A nice Christmas present for all TBPers…
I think its charming.
LLPOH,
What are the vaxed case and death numbers vs. the UNvaxed case and death numbers in Australia? What is the mood amongst you and your friends? Among those who are not your friends?
WIP – hard to say, because what numbers can you believe. But if what is reported is true, and that is a big if, around 89% of those dying are unvaxxed. Oz has an extremely high vax rate, too.
Those are the numbers being reported. No one knows what is true. Me and my friends do not give a shit about this stuff in general.
No, being a fucking statist bootlicker is not a reasonable position.
“What the fuck happened to this place?”
Cornered creatures respond accordingly.
Llpoh,
I think some of us are so pissed about government responses to Covid that people here must not have noticed where you said you disagree with what happened to this woman. Keep posting. You’re our unique insight into Australia. People’s acceptance there of lock downs and coerced vaccination is shocking. Do they not comprehend that vaccine passports are just the beginning of a China-like social credit system? Are they really OK with that? I realize that half or more of Americans would be fine with it, but it seems like the vast majority of Australians are in favor of vaccine mandates (and presumably “passports”). I cite Claire Lehmann, who started Quillette and was once thought to be some sort of conservative or libertarian. https://twitter.com/clairlemon/ “Yay – we get to go to restaurants now that we’re forcing everyone to get novel vaccines that most people don’t even need”. It’s deeply shameful. You can’t even buy gasoline without scanning your QR code? I guess it’ll make it easier for China when they take over Australia.
Never seen anyone scan a code at a petrol station. Never have scanned a code. Never been questioned about it.
Iska – no kidding, the US is a relative shithole compared to Oz.
We have 1/6 the per capita violent crime, almost no drug deaths relative to the US, no slums, our average wealth per person is six times higher than the US, govt debt is far lower, we have universal healthcare, almost no racial conflict, no illegal immigration to speak of, almost no homelessness, our elderly are better off, and life expectancy is 5 years higher here than in the US. We have guaranteed sick leave, and we get a minimum of 4 weeks paid leave a year. We have a higher labor participation rate than the US last time I looked. Compared to the US we have almost no poor.
Oz has a lot of problems, and that is for sure and certain, but the US is indeed a shithole in comparison. And yet people post things like that vid above that in no way reflects what is or does happen. And yet think it does.
Oz has had almost no deaths reported from Covid. And so the people, most of whom are sheep, accept the loss of liberty. I do not agree with it, but I understand it. People are sold a narrative. It is horrifying. I did all I could whenever I could, but to no avail.
Those of you living in the US should perhaps focus on what is happening there. Because the US problems are very serious. As are those of Oz. It is just that it is much nicer to live here. At least for the moment.m
That’s a slum in Adelaide.
Can’t be a slum in Adelaide. Looey said they don’t have any.
No, it’s not.
Hey HSF – even a tiny bit of research would have shown what I said is correct. Here is further proof:
“ There is only one lucky continent in which there are no slums at all. According to the United Nations Environment Program’s report The Challenge of Slums ‘[a]part from a few run-down suburban blocks and areas, Sydney no longer has any slums as is normally conceived, although there are many areas where disadvantaged people live in high concentrations’. The situation is no worse in any of Australia’s other cities. Australia is slum free. ”
Oz has actual Covid Camps, — several if the internet data are to be believed — where free people are sent against their will.
The USA does not have Covid Camps.
America > Oz.
The facts are bullshit just like “covid”.
No, there’s nothing wrong with stating facts but if this appeal to legalism is going to be your default position you are going to have to walk back lot of your previously held positions regarding other nation’s laws.
Any law can be used to do evil things. Compliance with evil is isn’t rational, it’s fear based.
I expect better from you than to defend this because you know precisely where this leads.
Where did I appeal to legalism. I stated the facts of this particular case relative to what the author said. The author said that she committed no crime. That is simply false.
Oh I get it, you’re just doing a variation on the grammar nazi thing.
Cool beans.
Llpoh, you are one of the reasons this bullshit is continuing. Fuck you with she “broke the current laws”. There was no victim, there was no crime. Fucking unbelievable that you justify these actions. Go to jail for what? It’s the flu bro. FUCK YOU!
Listen, shitdick – the article said she broke no laws. That is a fucking out and out lie. I do not like narrative. Why lie to make the case he wanted to make? Because he is pushing a narrative, and doesn’t give a shit about the truth, that is why. And if reasonable people are to succeed they will have to do it by being honest. Because the road to hell is paved with deception.
And get this – every fucking country has quarantine laws. Every single one.
And it ain’t the fucking flu. It isn’t Ebola, but it isn’t the flu, either. This shit makes you sick and kills around 1 out of every two or three hundred it infects. It ain’t the fucking flu, asshole. Should they have locked down the world? Hell no.
But shitsticks like you that lie to support their cases are as bad as the fucks that locked things down. It is the fucking flu my ass. How about jam your lies up your ass.
She broke no laws, W T F was she forced to be locked up for flu virus that does not exist.
Seriously, how fucking dumb are you? Yes, she broke an actual law, whether we agree that it is a reasonable law or not, and she then lied about it. Yes, the fucking virus exists, and no, it ain’t the fucking flu. Are you completely retarded? Seems likely from that post. But I should give you benefit, maybe you are just senile as shit.

Hey Llopoh,
The point being made – which you simply cant see despite being told several times – is that the so called “Laws” she broke are Bulls-t and have no real standing in a free society.
Just because some people wearing costumes like a Judge or wearing suites and calling themselves Law-makers write some words down on a piece of paper and then tell everyone to obey them (under threat or use of violence), does not mean they superceed a Human Beings God given rights.
A slave or an employee can be ordered around by their master or employer, but a free Human Being cannot because they have no other Human being for a master.
These so called “Laws” amount to violence against a Human Being and should be resisted for being the tools of tyranny that they are.
If you accept everything written into “Law” eventually things like forced medical procedures and executions for refusers (aka “Law Breakers”) will be written into law.
Continue to follow your path and you will loose everything and become less than a slave – mere cattle to be herded, fleeced, and then slaughtered by your owner.
But hey, at least you will be happy when you own nothing – including your own body and your own life, as yas long as someone made this “Law” right?
Yes, I get that is the point being made. But you twits do not get that what the author posted was incorrect, as support for his narrative. I have never said I agree with what happened or the laws. Quite the contrary. Guess you missed that.
But you are not acknowledging you are using lies to defend your position. That is fucked up and bullshit.
The issue is not the laws. Pandemic laws are absolutely necessary. Think Ebola. What is the issue is that Ebola laws are being used for Covid, and they are draconian in this instance. Covid has been hyped beyond all reason. Politicians have been allowed to use discretion and it is a debacle and should have been stopped everywhere.
Those directions have force of law. See that word “required”. It is not a recommendation. Breach those directions and get fined, get mandatorily quarantined, etc.
Here are some further details. https://www.claytonutz.com/covid-19-response/government-powers-and-directives
You have the same laws in the US, make no mistake. You must have seen them implemented, right? State after state. NY and WI are prime exhibits. Here are the actual directions that the woman failed to follow: https://coronavirus.nt.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0006/814848/cho-directions-no21-directions-for-potentially-infected-persons.pdf
In Oz, we use Acts. They are laws. The power of the directions is laid down in an Act. Call it what you will, it is the law of the state – if you do not obey directions then you are going to be treated as was that woman.
And keep spreading the lie it is the flu. It is somewhere around 100 times more deadly than the flu. Still not virulent enough to justify what has happened world-wide, but the flu it ain’t.
Not 100 times more deadly. Ya lyin fuck
Admin, can we get a fact check on LLPOH’s assertion that covid is 100x more deadly than the flu?
Thanks in advance.
You are correct – my mistake. It is ten times or more more deadly, not 100. I got carried away a bit.
Bollocks.
https://charltonteaching.blogspot.com/2021/12/the-birdemic-of-2020-had-zero.html
Zero effect on death rates globally.
Zero.
HSF…please don’t stop Chief Down Vote when he’s on illogical roll .
Well, this here that I posted about clearly shows that the US has had 800,000 excess deaths since early 2020. So, who do you believe.
https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/cumulative-excess-deaths-covid?country=USA~RUS~MEX~BRA~IRN~PER
The link you supplied … who funds it? Well, it’s right on their web page.
Holy shit! Those groups certainly don’t lie about anything! No conflict of interest with those sources!!
/ sarcasm
A simple search will find dozens of studies all showing millions of deaths. Stuck, why u no stop being a sheep?
So, you are relying on bird man? Good source. In the US there has been 800,000 excess deaths since early 2020,
Seriously HSF, how many real articles did you have to bypass to find that piece of shit “data” to support no excess deaths?
Search excess deaths, no dozens after dozens of articles show up showing many millions of excess deaths. US excess deaths are commonly shown at 800,000.
You are searching for facts to match your narrative. That is beneath you. Same way you searched for some supposed slum in Oz. Oz has no slums. We are the only continent on earth without slums. The US cannot say the same.
I don’t have a narrative, I am pointing out that the narrative is full of shit.
We went from 7.7 billion bipeds (allegedly) at the beginning of this “pandemic” to 7.9 billion currently.
Pandemics are supposed to decrease the population, not make it get bigger on the order of hundreds of millions. What kind of bullshit disease lets humanity get away with that?
There’s no dead bodies in the streets, the morgues aren’t overflowing, the graveyards aren’t filled, the hospitals are laying off up to a third of their staff- what kind of imbeciles do you assume us to be?
You are living in the midst of the biggest lie ever told and proudly endorsing it.
No, they are not mandates. The act – a law – gives the health officer power to make directions. Failure to follow the directions is a breach of the Act (ie the law) and subjects the breaches to criminal penalties. They are not mandates. They are legal directions and are subject to criminal penalty if breached.
Legal, not legal, whatever. We are at the point where we need to disregard that and get back to right versus wrong, moral versus immoral. There are universal moral truths and personal ones. We can disagree on those, but for me, personally, she did nothing wrong and the state did everything wrong.
And Germany had the Nuremburg Laws for a whole different kind of quarantining.
You good with those?
I always admired your ability to remain consistent and logical, but you’re off script now.
The Nuremberg laws do not apply just t@o Germany, but essentially to the whole world, although I am not sure if they were ever formally ratified. Calling them by the city were they were drafted might be a misnomer, and they should be called “general moral code for humanity regarding medical experimentation.”. They are universal and not eligible to negotiation. Or at least they should not be.
I was talking about the laws passed in 1933, not the codes adopted at the trials in the post-war era. And I selected the German laws because Llpoh particularly dislikes the Nazis.
They did what they did under color of law, same as the folks in Australia.
If someone is going to be using the “it’s a law” defense then consistency must be maintained.
I’m more of a right v. wrong type, but that’s a different story.
HSF…” It’s The Law” is the reason Jurors aren’t told about Jury Nullification i any more……those in charge don’t want folks saying it may be the law but it’s a bad law…not guilty .
I look am going to look forward to jury duty this time, but they never pick a guy who looks like me.
They ended up being basic established medical research ethics world wide until 2019.
Seriously, quarantine laws are everywhere on earth. What the fuck are you on about?
Here is a summary of the US laws. They can be put in play at any time a pandemic is declared. Some of them have been. Notice the quarantine provisions:
https://www.cdc.gov/quarantine/aboutlawsregulationsquarantineisolation.html
Here is a key snippet from US laws, enforceable by the CDC:
“Breaking a federal quarantine order is punishable by fines and imprisonment.”
That is what happened to the woman above. Again, not saying it is right, but it is the law, and it is the law in the US as well.
Interesting that, isn’t it.
Llpoh – It’s the flu bro. You must of retired from CNN early, your 100x more deadly comment is all hysterics…. Still no effects on global death rate trends yoy.
At least Llpoh didn’t succumb to the mindfuckery over there /s.
LLPOH,
It would be correct if the writer had said she broke no natural laws.
Just because some tinpot dictator decrees a “law”, LLpoh, doesn’t make it right or just.
Your Auschwitz camp director material.
Reviewing a dream journal a month ago from 2014. I discovered this entry. Australia is going through big changes. They will have a communistic puppet government. This really surprised me. It made me think who else has a puppet government. I would say most if not all of the World. he only way to fight it is with noncompliance at every level.
The meek shall inherit the Earth.
Looks like someone said the quiet part out loud.
Another instance of in plain sight. He’s even smirking about it.
A 26 year old woman from Australia, Hayley Hodgson, was forced into a quarantine camp when one of her friends tested positive for COVID.
Well CUNT, why did you let them force you into one?
I’m tired of these stories of FEAR, fuck off and die already.
Women were not made to be fighters.
If you don’t kill your enemies they will kill you. The state is now your enemy.
Australia is a prison. It began as a prison colony and it seems it will end as one.
Haley should have played Santa will in the camp…made a list and checked it twice…for future reference . They left out the fee for being in the Covid camp…which is $2,500 bucks I believe….$5,000.00 for a family . Don’t pay the fines etc and they’ll take it from your account anyway .
The dystopian short for Australia turned out to be predictive programming already.
LLPOH…you need to change your moniker to Chief Down Vote .
LLPOH,
When this is all over, or if this ever ends, do you think Australia might get some of those fancy ghettos?
