Protests are erupting worldwide in the wake of mandatory vaccination orders being handed down by our would-be dictators.
Scenes of Melburnian tradesmen holding their ground against the riot squad at the Shrine of Remembrance while singing the Australian National Anthem, and defecting policemen in Europe throwing aside their batons and shields in solidarity with protesters, may one day be immortalised as much as Tiananmen Square’s infamous ‘tank man’.
Indeed, there is nothing more elegant than a defiant middle finger being thrust in the face of a totalitarian regime.
It would seem that as the media-spun narrative unravels, many good-natured folks who may have complied with mask-mandates and lockdowns for the sake of the ‘greater good’ eighteen months ago, are now questioning the sense of their compliance.
This latest surge in the populist uprising of the masses known as the ‘Great Awakening’ has no doubt been fuelled by the announcement of experimental vaccine mandates and domestic health passports. Not only are these dictates indicative of a perpetual crisis or ‘new normal’ which will never subside, but they also transgress the very nature of the state’s relationship with the individual by violating one’s bodily integrity in a way only comparable to rape.
We really are at a crossroads now in human history; this act of submission to the needle will not only sanction the abuse of our human rights, but coerced participation in a medical experiment opens possibilities previously unthinkable in the free world.
For example, as was recently reported by the Epoch Times, practices such as China’s black-market organ harvesting may gain legitimacy if similarly depraved practices become more widespread abroad. The history books, however, remind us of times when humanity has faced similar injustices and prevailed.
One such occasion was India’s Sepoy Mutiny of 1857. While subjugated by the mercantile rule of the British East India Company, India’s soldiers were employed by the Company as sepoys or infantrymen under British officers.
The already strained relationship between India and her British overlords was brought to a crisis by the insistence that Hindu and Muslim sepoys violate their religious customs in the name of soldiery. The issue of the Enfield rifle sparked suspicion in the ranks of the sepoys that the lubricated ammunition cartridges were greased in animal fat derived from cows and pigs.
The sepoys were instructed to bite the ends off the cartridges while reloading their rifles. It was known to the British that cows are sacred and treated as mothers by Hindus, and that pigs are considered unclean by Muslims. Polluting one’s mouth with the tallow would make the sepoys untouchable and outcast in the eyes of their communities.
Nevertheless, the Company demanded submission.
The ensuing mutiny of the troops led by Mangal Pandey and his subsequent death at the gallows sparked a rebellion that spread throughout India, forcing the British Crown to intervene and replace the Company’s rule.
As with the Sepoy Mutiny, the violation of one’s bodily integrity being demanded by the vaccination mandates today is a catalyst for widescale revolt.
