Under normal circumstances the liar is defeated by reality, for which there is no substitute; no matter how large the tissue of falsehood that an experienced liar has to offer, it will never be large enough, even if he enlists the help of computers, to cover the immensity of factuality. The liar, who may get away with
any number of single falsehoods, will find it impossible to get away with lying on principle.
Hannah Arendt. Author of The Origins of Totalitarianism.

There is no act of treachery or meanness of which a political party is not capable; for in politics there is no honour.

Led by Sky News Australia, calls for a Royal Commission into Australia’s deranged Covid response, now widely perceived as literally the worst in the world, are growing stronger by the day. But does a Royal Commission go far enough?

There’s an old saying within the nation’s political operatives, never hold an inquiry unless you know the answer.

The Albanese Labor government already knows the answer, and they don’t like it, for they are all guilty. What sort of Prime Minister would refuse to hold an inquiry into the 30,000 or so excess deaths we have seen over the past year? The “Honourable” Anthony Albanese; a man who, like an octopus squirting ink, is filling the public square with rhetoric on the Indigenous Voice to Parliament and Climate Change to avoid the biggest story in the country.

It’s tedious. And it’s extremely poor governance. And it’s downright dishonest.

We already know the perpetrators.

As the Leonard Cohen song goes:

“Everybody knows that the boat is
leaking, Everybody knows that the captain lied.”

Here is an excerpt from the new book Australia Breaks Apart by John Stapleton.

The book will become progressively available over the next 30 days. It is already available in hardcopy from Australia’s largest online bookstore Booktopia here.

It is available in digital format across multiple platforms, including from Amazon here.


The scandal left many questions. Here are just a few.

Why did then Prime Minister Scott Morrison appoint Jane Halton, who had a longstanding relationship with Bill Gates through senior positions in the Gates funded Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations and the World Health Organisation, to essentially oversee Australia’s pandemic
response as a Commissioner on the newly created National COVID-19 Commission Advisory Board.

CEPI was launched at the 2017 World Economic Forum and kicked off with $460 million of seed funding from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

As Dr Phillip M. Altman at the Australian Medical Professional Society put it: “The claim that this was a pandemic of the unvaccinated was an outright lie told by our most senior health bureaucrats to convince people to take a gene-based drug which had grossly inadequate short-term safety data and no long-term safety data.

“Despite the total lack of scientific evidence supporting vaccine mandates, Bill Gates, the world’s biggest vaccine investor, was fortunate to be able to install his longstanding loyal lieutenant and personally appointed CEPI Chairperson, Jane Halton, to personally spearhead Australia’s vaccine policy.

“Anyone with any relevant formal scientific training should have known there was never any clinical evidence to support vaccine mandates. This has been known from the beginning. Industry and labour organisations destroyed careers, businesses, families and imposed financial stress and mental anguish across Australia for nothing.

“It is still going on. It is all for nothing.”

Why, knowing Gates’ financial interest in the Covid vaccines, did then Prime Minister Scott Morrison turn repeatedly to the Bill and Melinda Gates funded Peter Doherty Institute for Infection and Immunity for advice, or justification, on everything from lockdowns to vaccines?

Their prognostications on everything, from the lethality of Covid to the efficacy of vaccines and the need for lockdowns all proved totally wrong; but that didn’t seem to matter. They still soaked up millions of dollars in government funding; and kept coming back for more.

In any other situation serious questions would have been asked.

Why did Scott Morrison take a phone call from vaccine-profiteer-in-chief Bill Gates early on in the Covid panic, what did they discuss?

Why did the Australian government order 255 million doses of the vaccine, that is ten doses for every man, woman and child in the country?

Why haven’t the contracts been made public? What did we sign away?

How many tens of billions of dollars did the government spend on vaccines they couldn’t possibly use?

Why was the taxpayer expected to fund this magnificent largesse to vaccine manufacturers who already knew, from their own research, that the vaccines were a failure?

Why doesn’t the new Federal Health Minister Mark Butler see this squandering of billions of dollars of public funds as an issue worth pursuing?

Why were the vaccine manufacturers given total exemption from liability?

Why did the regulatory body the Therapeutic Goods Administration, which receives much of its funding from pharmaceutical companies, so rapidly approve a medication which was already causing massive controversy around the world? Why did no one in power, first in the Morrison and then in the Albanese governments, speak up about this obvious conflict of interest?

Why did the government and its agencies deliberately suppress any discussion on the safety and efficacy of vaccines, manipulating through tax concessions and funding the mainstream media outlets while at the same time harassing or silencing sceptics?

Why did the Australian government allow foreign owned social media companies to censor Australian citizens?

Why did Scott Morrison say, towards the end of his dismal reign, that power to manage a pandemic should be handed over to the Bill Gates funded World Health Organisation, an organisation already attracting massive criticism around the world for its mismanagement of the Covid “plandemic”, as it was now frequently being called?

How did Big Pharma capture all the organs of the Australian government, from its politicians to its health bureaucracies, and then use the police, the military and the nation’s intelligence agencies to perpetuate
their lies?

Why, knowing full well the international controversy enveloping mRNA vaccines and Moderna, in August of 2022 did Prime Minister Anthony Albanese risk his own reputation by promoting a $200 million Moderna production facility at Monash University in Victoria?

When did the Australian government sell out their own population?

Before it began recommending Covid vaccines for every child over the age of five years, and the mass vaccination of millions of children began, the Australian government already knew that the early warning signs were alarming. Absolutely alarming.

What sort of parent would inject their child with an experimental vaccine for which the long term consequences were entirely unknown?

The sort who were naïve enough to believe their own government.

“The vaccination of children is insane,” said Professor Ramesh Thakur of the Australian National University. “Pushing vaccines on to children is obscene.

“It’s testament to the evil that has taken hold following the fear induced in people by deliberate psychological campaigns of terror propaganda, aided and abetted by mainstream and social media, that large numbers of people in Western societies have actively colluded with governments in
imposing harms on children. Remember, in almost all Western countries the average age of Covid death is higher than the average life expectancy.”

In that strange uncanny world that is Australia, where memory seems non-existent and conscience eradicated, a sense of responsibility from the ruling elites is non-existent. Government silence has greeted the unravelling scandal, impacting billions of people around the globe and Australia’s entire population of 25 million.

How much longer can Prime Minister Anthony Albanese refuse to hold a public inquiry into Australia’s “train wreck” Covid responses, and disastrous vaccine rollout?

Who, exactly, is he protecting???
