Apple and Google gave an awesome demonstration of their enormous power and reach recently, when they cut off the Russian people’s access to all their online payment platforms and apps.

Irish journalist, Jason Corcoran tweeted an image of commuters at Moscow’s Metro at the very moment they realised they could not get on to the train station because all the payment apps had been deactivated.

“Apple Pay and Google Pay no longer work on Moscow’s metro system, leading to long queues as people FUMBLED ABOUT FOR CASH,” Corcoran tweeted.

The move caused pandemonium as people realised their bank cards, including Samsung Pay, also no longer worked.

The blow coincided with a joint move by Mastercard & Visa over the weekend, cancelling all financial transactions using their Russian bank-issued credit cards.

There are now massive runs on Russian banks as citizens scramble to withdraw as much cash as they can.

“Giving the keys of our lives to companies like Apple, Google, Facebook, Twitter, Amazon and other giants of the digital world has been the biggest mistake mankind ever made” someone tweeted yesterday.

Before you jump in and say ‘well it serves the ‘Ruskies’ right’ – STOP AND THINK A MINUTE.

If Big Tech/Big Finance are prepared to cut off a WHOLE country like that, do you think for a second, they would hesitate to cut you or I off, if the Government asked them to?

Don’t forget - Big Tech and the Morrison Government signed a TOP SECRET agreement last year, the full details of which are UNKNOWN.

They said it was about intellectual copyright, but at the end of the day, not a single one of us has any idea EXACTLY WHAT was in that agreement.

If you think I am exaggerating, just ask those brave Canadian Truckers who lost millions in donations recently, when GoFundMe STOLE the lot at the Canadian PM’s request.

Even Canada’s banks sold out the people, when asked to do so by Trudeau.

They obediently froze the accounts of anyone who had made a donation to the Truckers’ cause, no matter how small. Those accounts remain frozen to this day.
The bankers’ act of bastardry sparked an immediate ‘panic’ and ‘run’ on the banks, as hundreds of Canadians rushed to get their money out in cash.

All this should send chills down the spine of anyone fighting the forces of global tyranny in Australia.

Let it be a lesson to every single one of us, that we must NEVER, EVER, allow any Australian government to ever take CASH away from us!

WE NEED TO USE IT OR LOSE IT, and defend it to our last breath.

CASH MEANS FREEDOM.
“NEVER FORGET IT”..!

Today I’ve committed to supporting a 50% reduction in excise tax on petrol and diesel in Australia for the next twelve months.

The household budget cannot support petrol prices as they burst through the $2.00 a litre mark. These prices will hurt families, lift the price on farming and freight - which will increase the weekly grocery bill.

Australians are being ruthlessly gouged by global oil prices and Federal Government imposed Excise Tax which is currently set at $0.442 cents for every litre of fuel purchased.

Budget papers show Australian motorists will pay $49.3 billion in net fuel excise over the next four years.
The saving to households will cost the federal government roughly $6 billion over the next year.

Something has to give!

Scott Morrison won the last election by bashing Bill Shorten on his climate policies, especially a net-zero emissions commitment. After getting elected for not buying into the climate nonsense, Scott Morrison unexplainably signed us up to net zero despite CSIRO confirming there was no change in the ‘Science’™.

Have you noticed how, for the first time in many years, COVID hasn't been dominating the headlines?

With tragic and devastating floods hitting us at home and global conflict dominating the news internationally, it is almost as if our once COVID-obsessed political leaders are happy for an excuse to try and let their mistakes and overreach be forgotten.

Don't let that happen!

Unless the people of Australia demand scrutiny the Prime Minister and the state premiers will escape all accountability.

And unless those responsible for the brutal lockdowns, heartless border closures and unconstitutional jab mandates are held accountable it's only a matter of time before it is tried again, but as always, next time it will be worse.

So if you haven't had the chance already you might want to consider signing One Nation's petition for a COVID-19 Royal Commission.

I will be tabling it in parliament at the end of March so there is only a limited amount of time for you to add your name to the 40,000 other Australians seeking to make things right.

Politics is a numbers game and when politicians see tens of thousands of Australians rising up together in support of a good cause, I can assure you they pay attention.

Thank you to everyone who has signed and to everyone who will sign, it makes a huge difference.

It has long been warned that when western nations shut down or limit their oil, gas and coal industries it simply allows other nations to take advantage and reap the profits.

Michael Shellenberger's interview with the Outsiders panel on Sky News yesterday did a great job exposing how this warning is now a reality with Russia exploiting the green policies of Europe by exporting natural gas giving them control over large amounts of Europe's energy market and in turn generating the wealth and political control that is now fueling tragedy in Ukraine.

We see a similar scenario playing out in our own backyard with China using coal-fired power stations to fuel their manufacturing industry giving them a big advantage over nations like Australia which are foolishly closing down our own sources of reliable baseload power in favour of unreliable solar and wind.

Make no mistake, the wealth and influence that China has generated by exploiting the short-sighted green energy delusions of the west will come back to haunt us.

For decades now Australia has abandoned reason in favour of a climate alarmist fuel energy policy.

This has weakened our economy, wiped out jobs, put money into the pockets of authoritarian governments, and had no detectable influence on the world's temperature or climate.

It is time to realise that having access to reliable, affordable energy isn't just important for our economy, it's a matter of national security.

Any political party that refuses to acknowledge the damage being done by our current green energy delusions isn't just hurting your hip pocket, they are putting our nation's security at risk.

Following Daniel Andrew's announcement throughout the week that Victorian Aboriginals will receive $100,000 each for being a part of the stolen generation - Andrew Bolt did a brilliant, factual, news piece that I'm sharing.

Despite our courts finding no government policy to steal Aboriginal children from their families, our federal and state governments continue to pay compensation.
Why?

Is there any wonder why Australians are asking the question, "Does the truth matter anymore"?
