Australia: govt develops cracks amid Freedom Convoy demonstrations

Some of the senior leaders in Scott Morrison's government in Australia have thrown in the towel to support the ongoing protests against mandatory vaccination at Parliament House in Canberra.

Australian demonstrators at Parliament House in Canberra

According to the local newspaper The Canberra Times, three senators have publicly declared their support for the demonstration on this first day of the demonstrations 31st January 2022.

“Senators Gerard Rennick and Alex Antic, along with north Queensland MP George Christensen, have all publicly backed a national convoy to Canberra in protest of mandatory jabs” Canberra Times reported today.

It’s not yet established how many other senior or lower members of the government that imposed stringent Covid rules have crossed to the demonstrators’ side without publicly declaring it.

Senator Alex Antic went ahead to blame the so-called mainstream media for conspiring with the government to keep the public uninformed of the worldwide movement against the oppressive Covid restrictions.

"The mainstream media doesn't want you to know, but the brave Canadian Freedom Convoy has inspired a worldwide movement," Senator Antic wrote on his Facebook page.

The demonstrators want the removal of all Covid-related restrictions including directives which as far as violating medical rules such as vaccination mandates and medical segregation.

The Canberra Time reported that demonstrators are ready to stay at Parliament House until parliament sitting on 8th February 2022.

The Canberra Freedom Convoy 2022 demonstrations have inspired politicians to join from both the opposition and the ruling government.

On the eve of the demonstration on Sunday, Australian United Party (UAP) pledged their support for the demonstrations and willingness to join.

Today, Sally Rugg, a rights activist and pro-vaccines in Australia, sarcastically asked on her Twitter handle: “Will Scott Morrison tell the anti-vax truck convoy that they’re lucky to be able to protest without being shot at?

It’s still early to project what will happen within this week of demonstration in Australia but one can see that the demonstrations have gathered much support in Morrison’s country which suffered some of the most draconian covid rules in the world.

Australians demand MPs sitting as GoFundMe freezes their funds

The Australian Freedom Convoy 2022 at Parliament House in Canberra is demanding parliamentarians to convene a sitting and remove mandatory vaccination.

Australia Freedom Convoy 2022 campaign at Parliament House in Canberra, under gloomy skies

Parliamentarians are out of work until next week but the demonstrators are demanding for a rare sitting to solve the issues that have brought thousands and thousands of the people they represent from provincial governments.

Meanwhile, the GoFundMe has frozen over AUD160,000 intended to sustain the Convoy in demonstrations until the Federal Government listens to their demands.

GoFundMe claims the organisers are yet to meet the platform’s requirements for withdrawal of funds which include accountability of how funds would be spent.

The fundraiser in the name of Ironbark Thunderbolt is not public to comment on the freezing of the funds which are supposed to be collected by Jim Greer, a West Australian man who has spent over two decades teaching people how to live without modern comfort.

Unconfirmed information is that GoFundMe is willing to release AUD14000 to the demonstrators and that other funds can only be claimed in the next seven days.

The same freezing of funds through the online fundraising platform happened to the $8 million of the Canadian Freedom Convoy to Ottawa, releasing only $1 million to the fundraisers.

The Freedom Convoy to Canberra is an Australian campaign by people who oppose mandatory vaccination, a replica of the same campaign going on in Canada’s Ottawa.

More and more Australians are still flocking Canberra with trucks and personal cars to join the group that arrived today Monday.

The campaign started in Canada on Saturday last week as a demonstration of USA-Canada cross-border truck drivers who refused the requirement to be vaccinated against Covid to continue their jobs.

Since mandatory vaccination had affected all including some who were vaccinated not in fear of the disease but fear to lose their jobs, other workers joined the truckers with their own cars and the idea spread like a bushfire throughout the Americans and Europe.

The demonstration at the European Union level is expected in Brussels in mid-February where people will be demanding the removal of covid directives and restoration of freedoms in the whole of Europe.

Nil Koksal, an example of journalists who don’t care

The assertion that the Canadian Freedom Convoy is incitement by Russia is an example of how journalists are willing to sell their souls to push for narratives from funders and forget about the people.

Nil Koksal hosting Miniter Marco Mendicino on Friday

We know that the so-called mainstream media is making monies in upholding official narratives but individual journalists should be blamed for giving up on what journalism and conscience call them to do.

Individuals in the Nazis committed atrocities under the influence of their superiors. But when they were held accountable, the claim that they were under the influence of their superiors was not entertained.

Nil Koksal, a journalist at the Canadian government-funded news agency CBC brought a far-fetched allegation that Russia could be involved in the Freedom Convoy 2022 demonstration against mandatory vaccines.

"I do ask that because given Canada's support of Ukraine, in this current crisis with Russia, I don't know if it's far-fetched to ask, but there is concern that Russian actors could be continuing to fuel things as this protest grows. But perhaps even instigating it from, from the outset" Nil Koksal asked Canadian Public Safety Miniter Marco Mendicino on Friday.

The minister slammed Koksal’s allegation but it remains CBC's pride to build the stairs to the highest level and leave their funders to choose what level to display their narrative.

It’s so disappointing that an informed journalist brings an allegation she knows that it’s farfetched but for the sake of pleasing an editorial line that cares for only what the funders are saying and doesn't care about the infliction that the Canadian public has suffered from Covid policies.

Koksal overlooks the grievances and accusations levelled against their indifferent government and instead chooses to give weight to a wind-driven allegation that is intended to undermine the people’s demands in their country.

We know the media is happy with being enslaved by their funders but individual journalists should use conscience and pay attention to the grievances the public is suffering and if need be, leave those media houses that dance the tunes of funders who don’t care about the public.

People have already lost trust in mainstream media because governments are in bed with the media, forgetting what people really deserve in their countries and suffocating their cries with narratives that benefit governments.

No media reports about the beautiful Freedom Convoys in Australia where unvaccinated parents are not allowed even to see their sick children in hospitals and children get vaccinated against the parents’ will.

The media is silent about the brave farmers in Deutschland who have joined the truckers to track their freedoms up to the politicians’ mansions in the cities.

The whole of Europe and the Americas are demonstrating against the draconian health mandates which have no scientific proof but only allegations of increasing numbers of Covid cases.

Will Nil Koksal say Russia is behind the same Freedom Convoys in the whole of Europe and the Americas?

What if it so happens that the same demonstrations break the iron curtains into Moscow and China?

When the time to be accountable for what we said or did comes, no one is excused on the claims that they were working for so and so or an aggressive government or corporation.

It’s time to be what we are and stop betraying our free conscience.

Australians and the world are expecting the arrival of the convoy of demonstrators from all directions of the country to Canberra on Monday 31st January 2022 at 10am local time.

The Federal capital Canberra and Sydney, Australia’s largest see are set to witness the second of the world demonstrations against vaccination mandates after the ongoing Canadian demonstration that started Saturday.

But in a country where many trucks are not privately owned and the owners are not ready to distance themselves from the government, Australians have decided to drive their cars along with the available trucks.

It is not yet established how long the convoys can be all together but Faith Reporters has learnt that there are four convoys and some as long as more than 70 miles.

Among them is one that left came from Cairns and left Glenrowan Service Centre at 9:45pm local time, passing through Brisbane and Gold Coast in this nation in the Pacific and Indian oceans.

Trucks leaving Ardeer for Canberra
The second convoy from Cairns is expected to arrive later this week with the second wave of demonstrators especially from Gold Coast who were not able to prepare for Monday on time.

The demonstrations' funds are remaining with AUD50,000 to hit the target of AUD200,000, according to the GoFundMe platform.

Australian opposition political party, the United Australia Party, has expressed willingness to join the demonstrations, attracting debate as to whether the party will not politicise a people’s civil disobedience.

Many are suggesting that party leaders can join as individuals and not be given a platform to speak to the demonstrators so as to keep the demonstration a people’s thing.

Apparently, the government has scraped a directive it had imposed on the public, necessitating proof for vaccination for even indoor sport activities.

It is likely that the removal of this directive will attract people into indoor sports activities they have been longing for other than joining the demonstrations.

The Margaret Basket Ball Association wrote on their Facebook page: “This means it’s business and basket as usual from tomorrow January 31 [the grand day of the first demonstration in Canberra”

The Freedom Convoy 2022 campaign has already spread all over Europe and the Americas, with people protesting vaccination mandates for workers.

So far, Netherlands and Germany are on the verge of demonstration in their capitals after Canada and Australia, the two countries among those that suffered stringent restrictions.

A European Union demonstration is expected in Belgium’s Brussels in mid-February.

Canadian Premier goes into hiding as Freedom Convoy protests widen

The Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his family have been taken to a secret place due to fear of the Freedom Convoy 2022 protests against vaccination mandates.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau


According to the Canada Broadcasting Cooperation, the premier has been taken away from his home in Ottawa which was reported to be pausing security risk to the first family.

It’s not known where the premier and the family are as the PM office declined to comment claiming security reasons, according to the Independent.

Thousands and thousands of trucks are in Ottawa in a demonstration ignited by truck drivers last week, demanding the dropping of all Covid restrictions including obligatory vaccination.

The demonstrators who barricaded Parliament Hill in Ottawa say they will not leave until the government drops all the restrictions.

Ottawa City has announced that the city is too full to receive more trucks, claiming no more room for protesters in the city.

“Streets in the downtown core are closed due to gridlock. There is no more room for vehicles, other than first responders. Please avoid the area,” the City of Ottawa wrote in a statement on Twitter on Saturday.

Although the demonstrators have continued to show they are peaceful, there is a mistrust that these protesters with heavy tracks can be destructive if they chose to be.

Other coming similar protests against vaccination mandates include the one scheduled on Monday 31st January 2022 at Canberra Australia, European countries and others all over Europe.

The Canadian Freedom Convoy said they would use the funds for gas and food expenses incurred while participating in a rally that’s ongoing in the capital Ottawa.

GoFundMe froze the funds on Tuesday claiming that it was their policy to get proof if the funds through their platform are used appropriately.

Today, the GoFundMe released a batch of only $1 million, according to the fund initiator Tamara Lich who announced it on Friday through her Twitter account.

The rest of the funds are withheld for the beneficiaries to first prove they will be spending the money for the intended acts, according to GoFundMe.

The Freedom Convoy 2022 now leading to Ottawa Canada is said to be over 60 miles long and is expected to fully be in the capital this Saturday while the same convoy to Australia’s Canberra will arrive on Monday 31st January 2022.

These unexpected visitors have already started arriving as thousands of others cruise through the snow to reach Ottawa on Saturday in the same way those in Queensland are expected on Monday.

The whole of Europe and the Americas are set for similar demonstrations by truck drivers but first in Canada and Australia, the leading countries with stringent covid rules.

Ottawa police chief Peter Sloly has warned that protesters who become violent will be arrested and prosecuted.

“We are prepared to investigate, arrest if necessary, charge and prosecute anyone who acts violently or breaks the law in the demonstrations” The Independent reported.

Meanwhile, the GoFundMe fundraising platform has said they will not let the demonstrators withdraw their $7 million funds raised by supporters of the demonstrations, according to the Washington Post.

The platform claimed that it was not sure if the beneficiaries of the funds would use them appropriately.

The media has undermined reporting the demonstrations apart from the Independent which gives updates.

Lost job, lived as Job: China’s first ordained native minister

Converted by his foreign student, Guo left his responsibilities as Principal at his church’s college, became a street preacher and found churches and Adventist schools in China.


Guo Ziying (1865–1927)

This is the story of a Chinese national who, more or less like a missionary, established missions like William Harrison did in Africa or Georgia Burrus in India or L. R. Conradi did in Russia.

According to the Encyclopedia of the Seventh-day Adventists (ESDA), Guo Ziying was born on 28th September 1865 in China’s Fujian Province to a non-Adventist but Christian family.

After college, Guo become the principal of the Presbyterian Theological Seminary in his home area Xiamen, a school that admitted non-nationals including Timothy Tay who was from Singapore.

It is this young man Timothy in his twenties who unexpectedly preached to his Principal Guo in just a few minutes in 1904 and left him to the work of the Holy Spirit which converted him to the Adventist faith.

One day on Sunday, the day of worship for his Principal and the whole college, Timothy went to buy fruits and vegetables as liked by most Adventists which was a day of worship.

It compelled Principal Guo to summon Timothy to his office where he asked for explanations why the young man had to go to the market on a Sunday when he was supposed to go to church.

Timothy, who had gone to study Chinese in China, told Guo that Sunday was not the Sabbath but rather the first day of the week, sharing with the Principal several Bible verses about Saturday Sabbath and Sunday the first day of the week.

“It was then that Guo had his first Bible study on the Sabbath doctrine. Though Guo could hardly believe what he found in the Bible, he finally became convinced that Saturday was the true Sabbath” says the ESDA.

Born again, a new creature

The Sabbath rays, like to most people who realise it after a long time in waywardness, shone in Guo and convicted him of a need to start a new life including work and company.

The immediate challenge was his family that persuaded him not to become an Adventist, asking him not to leave the job at the Presbyterian-related school.

“Guo decided to resign his principal position. His friends and colleagues tried to persuade him not to. His wife and daughter pleaded with him in tears as they thought that it would bring shame to the family. But Guo's mind was made up”.

The former college Principal, a new convert into the SDA Faith who knew not more than a few verses in the Bible to support the Sabbath doctrine, bought a small church nearby and shared his newfound faith with his community.

The lone Sabbath observer in Xiamen, Guo, went to Guangzhou, got baptised and requested for a missionary to be sent in his area who arrived in mid1905.

Guo became a multipurpose believer in China through 1906 when he was ordained minister, becoming the first indigenous Chinese minister.

He preached the Three Angels especially at seaports including Shantou which he made another home for SDA Faith in China.

He wrote books, pamphlets and expositions on biblical prophecies in Chinese, while still devoting himself to preaching among his own people, according to ESDA.

The ESDA records that “in 1907 Guo went to Chaozhou and found a group of 25 people who, based on their own study of the Bible, had decided to observe the seventh-day Sabbath, abstained from tobacco and alcohol”

In 1913 Guo returned to education, becoming the first Principal of the school he established in Fuzhou until 1920 when he was relieved of the work in Fuzhou because of his deteriorating health.

He returned to the South Fukien Mission where illness weakened him for two years and passed away in 1927, crowning his life like Job who lost everything in the beginning and gained more in the end.

“His eldest son, Joseph Keh, immigrated to San Francisco and was among the founders of the Chinese Seventh-day Adventist Church in that city,” ESDA says

Nine points UK experts put to parliament to block compulsory vaccination

The United Kingdom Medical Freedom Alliance (UKMFA) has written an open letter to the UK parliamentarians asking them to block the compulsory vaccinations of all workers.

These are the nine points the alliance, of Doctors and Lawyers, asked the parliamentarians to "carefully consider and raise them in the debate" on the subject tomorrow Monday 24 January 2022:

Vaccinated and unvaccinated transmit Covid alike

The alliance argued that vaccinating healthcare staff at the National Health Service (NHS) does not benefit patients because it prevents neither infection nor transmission of Covid.

"Vaccinated individuals are just as likely to harbour and spread the virus with comparable viral loads in vaccinated and unvaccinated people," the letter argued.

Labour shortage crisis even in the health services

The letter quoted the House of Lords Secondary Legislation Scrutiny Committee of 30 November 2021, which concluded that the government had no plan on how to cope with the loss of staff who would not want the vaccines.

"The report estimated that of the 208,000 NHS staff who were currently unvaccinated, 126 000 [or 61 per cent] would leave their jobs [if vaccination was made compulsory] which could be catastrophic for the ability of the NHS to provide quality care to all patients" the letter explained.

Doubt on Covid vaccines immunity

The experts argued in their letter that there was no scientific evidence that Covid vaccines effectively work, citing experts' reports from Canada, Scotland, vaccine manufacturer Pfizer, Denmark and USA who reported that Covid vaccines provided insignificant immunity.

"There is still no robust evidence from any clinical trial data and certainly not from a "gold standard" randomised control trial (RCT), that COVID-19 vaccination reduces either hospitalization or death. An analysis of Pfizer's own trial data by the Canadian Covid Care Alliance suggests there may even be a negative effect for the vaccinees" the letter argued.

"According to the Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla [Covid vaccine] protection lasts only 4-6 months" the letter said quoting other data reports "recently published from Denmark, San Francisco [which] suggest a potentially negative effect"

Respect for the decision of health workers

The letter calls upon the parliamentarians to acknowledge that on top scientific knowledge, health workers have both first-hand information about Covid and the masterly principle of informed consent, concluding that their conclusion on vaccination should be respected.

"It is absolutely unthinkable that this group of educated healthcare professionals should now be forced to accept that, as individuals, they are not entitled to the core ethical principle of informed consent".

Covid vaccines are on trials

The letter of experts urges the House to consider the fact that Covid vaccines were authorised under temporal emergence trials, arguing that such trials should not be made mandatory for the sake of humanity.

"No data from completed clinical trials are available. Certainly, no data is available regarding the potential long-term effects of this completely novel gene-based technology that has never before been used in humans on such a large scale. We simply do not know what the health or fertility of the vaccinated will be in years as there is no-one in the world who has had any of these vaccines in their body for more than 18 months".

Developed natural immunity

The group explained that there was no benefit for health workers as well as the majority of the wider public to take the vaccine because they have been exposed to the Covid and developed natural immunity.

"The majority of healthcare staff will have been exposed to SARS-CoV-2 in the course of their work and are likely to have developed robust, comprehensive and long-lasting natural immunity, which [is] far superior to the limited and short-term vaccine immunity"

Compulsory vaccines, a precedent for future ethical practices violation

The experts cast doubt if health workers would continue to safeguard their own patients against unethical practices if they themselves suffer devaluation and coercion to accept an unwanted medical intervention.

"Once this line is crossed there must be a significant risk that the same healthcare workers will feel justified in treating patients with the same lack of respect and ethics, putting everybody at risk of harm and abuse and making the practice of medicine much more unsafe for patients"

High numbers of adverse effects

The letter cited large numbers of officially reported cases of adverse effects and fatalities from the vaccines recorded in the USA, Europe and the UK's Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), calling upon the parliamentarians to leave Covid vaccination to the individual decision.

"There were over 1.3 million adverse reactions in the UK including seizures, paralysis, blindness, strokes, blood clots and acute cardiac events. This report includes 1,852 fatalities. It is widely recognised that only up to ten percent of adverse events are officially reported"

No liability clause

"It is not clear who will be liable to pay compensation to the person or their family for the loss of future earnings and care. Vaccine manufacturers have been granted complete immunity from liability for any harms resulting from their products"
