RFK Jr. The Defender - Australian Authoritarianism with Monica Smit

Monica Smith has been on the front line of Australia s fight for freedom since August 2020. Most recently, she is internationally recognized as Australia s first political prisoner. She spent 22 days in solitary confinement, refusing to sign draconian bail conditions. The conditions were appealed and revoked, and she is now free to continue her work. In this episode, Monica talks about her experience in prison, the dangers of COID, and the growing number of concentration camps being built across the country. She also discusses the new legislation passed by Prime Minister Daniel Andrews, which allows for the government to call a pandemic for any reason, without any advice or advice from the Prime Minister, and why it s a good thing she didn t sign the bail conditions she was ordered to sign, because it would have meant she would have been sent to a concentration camp. Monica also discusses how dangerous it is to be a prisoner in one of these concentration camps, and how they are being designed for political dissidents, the unvaccinated, and those who don t want to comply with the new laws that are being passed by the government. She explains why the camps are a bad idea and why they need to be built in the first place, and who should be sent to them. She also explains how dangerous they are becoming and why we should be worried about them. It s not just about vaccines, but about what they are doing to keep us safe and secure in our communities, and whether or not they should be kept in concentration camps at all, and what they should do to keep them safe and protected from public safety.

00:00:00.000 It's my pleasure to have Monica Smith as our guest today.

00:00:03.000 Monica Smith has been on the front line of Australia's fight for freedom since August 2020.

00:00:09.000 Most recently, she is internationally recognized as Australia's first political prisoner.

00:00:14.000 She spent 22 days in solitary confinement, refusing to sign draconian bail conditions.

00:00:21.000 The conditions were appealed and revoked, and she is now free to continue her work.

00:00:25.000 So just tell us what happened.

00:00:27.000 Well, there was a new bill put through Parliament just two weeks ago called the Permanent Pandemic Legislation.

00:00:33.000 So Daniel Andrews, our Premier, can now call a pandemic for any reason without any advice or anything like that.

00:00:39.000 And if someone is seen to be an aggressive Why were you imprisoned in the first place?

00:01:10.000 So I was charged with incitement, which is meant for things like murder or things like that.

00:01:15.000 So if I encourage someone to murder someone, I'm obviously also culpable for that crime.

00:01:20.000 But in this case, they've found a loophole in the criminal system here.

00:01:25.000 If I'm inciting someone to break a COVID direction, so if I tell someone not to wear a mask, for example, they now call that incitement, which is a criminal charge, even though the offence of not wearing a mask is actually only a finable offence.

00:01:39.000 It's not a jailable offence.

00:01:40.000 So it's a loophole in the system.

00:01:42.000 I shouldn't have been in that position.

00:01:44.000 But I was charged with two counts of incitement and the bail conditions were the most.

00:01:49.000 And my lawyer said they have seen people who have run through houses with machetes get less bail conditions than me.

00:01:56.000 They wanted to completely shut down my organization, which is one of the most influential freedom movements in Australia.

00:02:02.000 And they tried to shut down my political party at the time and all my staff would have lost their job and everyone would have lost a lot of hope.

00:02:09.000 So I couldn't sign those bail conditions.

00:02:11.000 So I went to prison and we had to appeal them.

00:02:13.000 It took 22 days.

00:02:14.000 And because I didn't want to take a PCR test, they kept me in solitary confinement.

00:02:19.000 So I had no sunshine, no outside time at all.

00:02:21.000 For 22 days, but I got out and the bad bail conditions were taken away so I can still do my work, which is great.

00:02:28.000 Let me ask you something on another subject, which is what is the status of those camps in Australia and are they actually being populated now and who are they being designed for?

00:02:41.000 Well, there is already one in full operation in the Northern Territories and through the QR code check-in system, which is on the phones, people check in everywhere they go.

00:02:51.000 They're very compliant, unfortunately.

00:02:53.000 unfortunately, if you get caught to have been a close contact with someone who tested positive for COVID, then you are actually forced to go to this facility.

00:03:04.000 And if you don't go, you'll get a $5,000 fine.

00:03:06.000 You'll get approached by police and you'll get intimidated until you go.

00:03:11.000 So most people go because, of course, the $5,000 fine is the average wage in Australia is about $40,000 a year.

00:03:16.000 So $5,000 is a lot of money.

00:03:19.000 So most people go.

00:03:20.000 And that's in the Northern Territories.

00:03:21.000 Now, there is one being built in Queensland and in Victoria.

00:03:25.000 Now, I will say the one in Victoria is going to be staffed by prison guards.

00:03:30.000 So that's very worrying.

00:03:32.000 And, you know, two years ago, I would have felt paranoid to think that these concentration camps are actually designed for the political dissidents and the unvaccinated or the unclean, as they would say, But I'm sorry, there is no other way to look at this.

00:03:45.000 They are for the unvaccinated and for those who don't want to comply and for maybe close contacts as well.

00:03:51.000 But being staffed by prison guards and what's happening in Northern Territories.

00:03:54.000 Now, if you leave your balcony, you get a $5,000 fine.

00:03:57.000 If you break the rules, you get a $5,000 fine.

00:04:00.000 People have tried to escape.

00:04:01.000 Why would you escape if it was voluntary and if it was a nice environment?

00:04:05.000 So the public sentiment towards the unvaccinated is already getting very bad.

00:04:10.000 So I don't think it's a very big stretch for the media to announce one day, oh, we just had our first unvaccinated person go into this facility because they don't want to stay home.

00:04:20.000 And that's a danger to society.

00:04:22.000 And I think a lot of some people would be like, yeah, sure, that makes sense.

00:04:26.000 Lock them up because they're unclean and we don't want them in our society.

00:04:28.000 Yeah.

00:04:29.000 Yeah.

00:04:29.000 The people who are being shipped to those camps now, they're people who are exposed to COVID, whether they were vaccinated or unvaccinated, versus just unvaccinated people who are being sent there.

00:04:42.000 Everyone.

00:04:43.000 Yeah.

00:04:43.000 And you don't even have to...

00:04:45.000 They acknowledge that the vaccine does not prevent you from getting COVID or prevent you from transmitting COVID. That's kind of an acknowledgement of that scientific fact, isn't it?

00:04:55.000 Oh, it's funny because they acknowledge it in every way except for saying it straight up.

00:05:00.000 I mean, the biggest cases we have now, the super spreader events, they've all had to show their green pass or their vaccination passport to get into this venue.

00:05:10.000 So it's absolutely has made no difference to case transmission at all in Australia.

00:05:16.000 In fact, our cases have never been so high.

00:05:18.000 So you already have a vaccine passport in Australia?

00:05:22.000 Oh, yes.

00:05:23.000 Absolutely, yes.

00:05:24.000 Especially in Victoria.

00:05:25.000 Does it just have vaccine information?

00:05:28.000 Because what people are worried about it will be used to include other information about your social credit or just things that the government really has no business knowing.

00:05:42.000 It really isn't a fast stretch of the imagination if the infrastructure is there.

00:05:46.000 So far, the Australian government has taken every bit of power they could with every legislation during this pandemic.

00:05:52.000 So it's definitely not paranoia to imagine that this will be used for other things.

00:05:56.000 And they are putting through legislation about a digital passport as well.

00:06:00.000 well.

00:06:00.000 So all your information will be on this app.

00:06:03.000 So it's, you know, they've conditioned us to check in everywhere to listen to all the advice.

00:06:10.000 So if they were to say, oh, I'm going to just put your social credit, your credit system, like your financial credit score onto this app as well, people would be, some people would be quite accepting and think that that was quite convenient.

00:06:21.000 What happened to us straight down?

00:06:24.000 Australia used to be the land of the free and the independent, and particularly Victoria.

00:06:29.000 Why is Victoria at the center? 1.00

00:06:31.000 Is this partially because of the Murdoch control of the papers in the country, or what is it that made the country fall so dramatically from democracy into totalitarian rule?

00:06:48.000 Well, I think it's a range of things, but one of the biggest things that I think has contributed to this is we are very easygoing people.

00:06:55.000 If anyone listening has met Australians, we're very easygoing.

00:06:59.000 And we've had a great life here.

00:07:01.000 We haven't had to fight for anything.

00:07:03.000 There hasn't really been a civil war since, you know, we came here as prisoners and things like that.

00:07:08.000 There hasn't been big uprisings.

00:07:10.000 There hasn't really been an obviously corrupt government before.

00:07:13.000 Everything just seemed great.

00:07:14.000 And so no one got involved in politics.

00:07:16.000 No one cared about politics.

00:07:18.000 I didn't.

00:07:18.000 I just voted with who my dad voted with.

00:07:21.000 That's all going to change now in Australia.

00:07:22.000 But it's our character is one thing.

00:07:25.000 Secondly, we have a small population and we're very spread apart.

00:07:28.000 So it's a little bit harder for us to organise physical gatherings because of that.

00:07:32.000 And also we've been trained through school to be unpatriotic.

00:07:37.000 We're not like Americans. 0.98

00:07:38.000 We don't hold our constitutional rights in our back pocket like it's a Bible or something like that.

00:07:45.000 We're just not like that.

00:07:46.000 So we've been trained to look after our front yard.

00:07:49.000 You know, if my front lawn is mowed, then I don't care about anyone else's.

00:07:53.000 So until the pain has hit a really high level, that's when people will do something.

00:07:57.000 And I will say that Australia has stood up in a very amazing way.

00:08:01.000 In Victoria, three weeks ago, there was 700,000 people on the streets.

00:08:05.000 The population of Victoria is only 6 million.

00:08:08.000 So that's over 10% of the population was on the streets.

00:08:11.000 So there's obviously double that or more at home that agree with the protesters.

00:08:15.000 So I will say that because we've experienced the most pain, especially in Victoria, I mean, they closed playgrounds in Victoria at one point.

00:08:22.000 So the point I'm trying to make is there is hope when humans are pushed up against the wall, they will retaliate.

00:08:27.000 But the other thing is, is our premier, specifically Daniel Andrews, he's really in bed with the Chinese communist government.

00:08:34.000 He's had over 40 visits to China since his premiership and he's been in power for about seven years.

00:08:40.000 So we believe that there is a lot of influence from the Communist Party and he has tried to do some really shady deals with them and actually it's been stopped by the federal government, which is good.

00:08:50.000 But Daniel Andrews is the worst premier in Australia, although he's followed very closely behind by other premiers.

00:08:56.000 Those are the reasons I can think of.

00:08:58.000 And when you have 750,000 people on the street, you know, we see over here, it's never on the mainstream media, what's happening in Australia and in our country.

00:09:10.000 We see it on a kind of underground media.

00:09:13.000 Even YouTube purges it off.

00:09:16.000 We can get a whole, you know, we see the videos, we see home videos that people are sending to the Defender or to other outlets, and it's really, it looks like a civil war.

00:09:27.000 It really looks like a civil war, these battle with police.

00:09:30.000 Does it feel like a civil war when you're there?

00:09:33.000 And are all the police kind of monolithic on, you know, against the people on this?

00:09:40.000 And finally, is there, is it being shown in Australia on the media?

00:09:46.000 So when it's lockdown, police believe that human rights are suspended.

00:09:51.000 So all bets are off if we're in a proper lockdown.

00:09:55.000 And that's where you saw the scenes of the Civil War lookalikes.

00:09:58.000 And yes, it was like being in a horror movie.

00:10:02.000 The adrenaline's quite interesting, though.

00:10:04.000 You know, there's people running away and trying to hide and people giving other people legs up to jump over fences.

00:10:11.000 You know, it's like a real life game show or something like that.

00:10:15.000 But then when you get home, it's very distressing to imagine what you just went through with your own police.

00:10:20.000 Now, I'm sure a lot of the police don't like doing what they're doing, but the problem is, is they're willing to do it.

00:10:26.000 And that is really concerning to us.

00:10:29.000 And I think someone's going to get really hurt if this continues, if we have another lockdown.

00:10:33.000 There definitely would be a select few police who, if they were given the order to go to someone's home and take them to a quarantine camp, i.e.

00:10:43.000 concentration camp, they would do that.

00:10:45.000 We've seen that.

00:10:46.000 They used rubber bullets on people.

00:10:47.000 They're the size, they're quite big, these rubber bullets.

00:10:50.000 And actually 8% of the time they use them, They can actually fatally hurt.

00:10:55.000 They can kill someone.

00:10:56.000 So they're using this indiscriminately on the crowd.

00:11:00.000 It can hit children, etc.

00:11:01.000 And there are some court cases going on at the moment that actually RDA are supporting against the Victorian police for this sort of behaviour.

00:11:09.000 When you're one-on-one with the police, I think they actually don't like it, but their actions don't mirror that.

00:11:14.000 And so I don't really have that much sympathy for it.

00:11:16.000 Secondly, the mainstream media, it's interesting.

00:11:18.000 I think the Australian mainstream media, they haven't quite figured out that they should just completely ignore everything to do with the freedom movement.

00:11:26.000 That's actually their best strategy.

00:11:27.000 They actually do report on them.

00:11:29.000 They do lie about the numbers, but once in a while, they actually tell the truth.

00:11:33.000 Once in a while, they don't call it an anti-vax protest and they call it something else, which it actually is, which is pro-freedom and pro-choice.

00:11:41.000 Because of the pandemic legislation that recently in Victoria, that was really what caused a lot of ruckus here.

00:11:46.000 So sometimes they reported and told the truth because everyone hated that bill.

00:11:51.000 Even the Bar Association, which is our lawyer association, the Ombudsman, which is an independent oversight organization, that no one liked this bill.

00:11:58.000 So it actually brought a lot of people together and they did report on it.

00:12:01.000 So it's really hit and miss.

00:12:03.000 But overall, of course, the mainstream media, they are not reporting the adverse reactions, which are really building up a lot.

00:12:09.000 And it's very distressing to see this stuff.

00:12:12.000 So we're trying to get through to the journalists.

00:12:14.000 But of course, just like everywhere else, they are turning a blind eye to the truth to keep their jobs.

00:12:18.000 Oh, if somebody has an adverse reaction, they are not going to be allowed on TV to talk about it.

00:12:24.000 I mean, even the doctors make them feel like they have a mental disorder.

00:12:28.000 You know, I have some adverse reaction stories coming out soon.

00:12:31.000 And one person said, when I arrived in the emergency ward, the first question they asked was, how long ago was your vaccine?

00:12:38.000 They know this stuff is happening, but no one's saying anything.

00:12:42.000 And I'm sure it's happening there as well.

00:12:44.000 But the paramedics, the emergency services, the doctors, the nurses, they all know.

00:12:48.000 I just, I can't believe they can stay quiet.

00:12:51.000 It must be really etching in their conscience.

00:12:54.000 Tell us about your organization.

00:12:57.000 How big is it?

00:12:58.000 Are the freedom movements growing more robust there?

00:13:02.000 Are you organized?

00:13:04.000 Are you capable of mounting long-term robust resistance?

00:13:10.000 Absolutely.

00:13:11.000 I mean, Craig Kelly, he's a member of parliament.

00:13:14.000 He's probably one of the most influential people as well.

00:13:17.000 And of course, he started working with a party called United Australia Party.

00:13:21.000 And this is really a beacon of hope, I believe, for the federal election coming early next year.

00:13:26.000 But with Reignite Democracy Australia as a robust lobby group, we can definitely make a difference.

00:13:31.000 We have 100,000 email subscribers and we have a small population in Australia.

00:13:35.000 So that's really quite something.

00:13:37.000 We used to have a big following on Facebook, but of course that's all gone.

00:13:39.000 But we have three times the amount of website views than any of the other major political parties and things like that.

00:13:47.000 And we have great interaction.

00:13:49.000 We have 12 staff and a phone line and we have lawyers, in-house lawyers that help people as well.

00:13:55.000 So we have also community groups.

00:13:57.000 We have over 110 community groups around Australia and they work autonomously within their communities and they all have around 50 or 60 members in them and they organise Christmas parties and empower each other and do letterbox drops and things like that.

00:14:10.000 So yeah, we are very influential in that way.

00:14:14.000 And political parties want to work with us because we have such a voice and RDA has kind of created its platform based on action.

00:14:21.000 So the viewers are really ready to take action and that is the difference between someone who's just going to read something and someone who's going to act.

00:14:28.000 But what we're hoping to do obviously is affect the next federal election and that's really our focus at the moment.

00:14:36.000 So in our country, a charitable organization cannot lobby or do electioneering, but you can in Australia.

00:14:45.000 Well, the difference is, is I'm a proprietary limited.

00:14:47.000 So we didn't go for charity status because of that, because of that.

00:14:52.000 So, we have to pay tax and GST. And even though we run as a not-for-profit, as in, we don't take any profits from the business.

00:15:00.000 So, in theory, we're a not-for-profit, but on paper, we are a proprietary limited.

00:15:04.000 So, our donations are called financial support, not donations.

00:15:08.000 And that's how we run things.

00:15:10.000 We have merchandise.

00:15:11.000 We have a social media platform.

00:15:13.000 We have a business directory that people pay for as well.

00:15:16.000 So we have a directory of businesses that won't discriminate.

00:15:19.000 So there's a few revenue streams there to keep us alive, but it's tough going as well to pay all the bills, but we do all right.

00:15:27.000 But, you know, I will just say that And you must be feeling this as well.

00:15:31.000 Your organization is very active at heart too.

00:15:35.000 And I feel like we are powerful in a way, but we're putting out all these spot fires without really getting to the source of the fire.

00:15:43.000 So I'm trying to think of some bigger ideas and maybe we can work together offline, you know, worldwide ideas that can actually affect change straight away.

00:15:52.000 Or maybe that's not possible.

00:15:53.000 I'm not sure, but I would love to discuss it.

00:15:56.000 We would like to talk to you about it, and we will talk offline.

00:16:01.000 Tell me about what's happening in the Aboriginal communities.

00:16:05.000 Well, it's funny, they always refer to the Aboriginal communities in the media as vulnerable communities, like they have to get vaccinated as soon as possible because they're so vulnerable.

00:16:14.000 I have no idea what that means.

00:16:16.000 I would say they are vulnerable because they're isolated and they get paid by the government to basically stay where they are.

00:16:23.000 They get coerced easily with money.

00:16:26.000 So they have offered $500 for them to get the shots.

00:16:30.000 They have intimidated them that they cannot leave the community.

00:16:33.000 They cannot go play basketball or soccer at the local sporting facility.

00:16:37.000 If they're not vaccinated for 12 year olds, you know, they're intimidating 12 year olds and no one really knows what goes on in those communities unless someone is there with a camera so they can get away with a lot.

00:16:46.000 And yes, they are door knocking, giving vaccinations in Aboriginal communities.

00:16:51.000 I think it's called Canavan in Western Australia.

00:16:53.000 The only misinformation that did go viral overseas is that it wasn't the army taking people to the quarantine facilities.

00:17:01.000 That's the only misinformation, but everything else people have seen is absolutely true.

00:17:05.000 It's the local police who bring it there.

00:17:08.000 I think it's health officials.

00:17:10.000 So we have this branch of people that are called authorized health officers.

00:17:14.000 They have all this authority.

00:17:15.000 They can go into your house without a search warrant.

00:17:18.000 They took private patient information from a doctor's surgery in Victoria.

00:17:23.000 And they're employed by the government to basically go around making sure that people are following the COVID directions.

00:17:28.000 And they have an immense amount of power.

00:17:30.000 It's very strange.

00:17:32.000 And how does it work if they are taking these exposed people to the camps?

00:17:39.000 How come they don't have to stay with them because presumably they get exposed during the drive up there?

00:17:45.000 Well, I do know that they had what they referred to as a COVID cab, so a COVID taxi.

00:17:52.000 It was just an airport shuttle bus, so I'm not sure what the process is there.

00:17:57.000 But of course, the people in the quarantine facility are covered from head to toe, plastic and things like that.

00:18:03.000 So I guess that's how they justify it.

00:18:05.000 I mean, you would think they might say, well, I'm vaccinated, so I can be around these people.

00:18:09.000 But the whole quarantine facility is full of vaccinated people, so I'm not sure.

00:18:15.000 Leave us with your hopeful message.

00:18:19.000 Do you think Australia is going to be able to dig its way out to survive this coup d'etat against democracy?

00:18:28.000 Absolutely.

00:18:28.000 I mean, we have to.

00:18:30.000 It's only a matter of time.

00:18:31.000 I just don't know how long it's going to be.

00:18:33.000 Dictatorships always fail.

00:18:35.000 Good always prevails and the truth always comes out.

00:18:38.000 It just might be a long road.

00:18:40.000 You know, right?

00:18:41.000 I hope so.

00:18:42.000 I hope so.

00:18:44.000 You know, the freedom movement, it grows every day here in Australia.

00:18:46.000 It never goes backwards because the more annoying the government gets, the more people wake up.

00:18:51.000 So it's never going backwards.

00:18:52.000 And I think we're determined.

00:18:54.000 If I didn't think that there was a way out of this, why even bother getting up in the morning?

00:18:57.000 You know, because the life that they're trying to plan for us in Australia is not a life I'm willing to live.

00:19:03.000 So there's no option but to do whatever I can.

00:19:05.000 And if it doesn't work, well...

00:19:07.000 That's God's will, whatever.

00:19:08.000 But we have to do our best.

00:19:10.000 And that's the message I always tell my people.

00:19:12.000 And I've been saying lately that, you know, every day we wake up is one day closer to us getting our liberties back because it's just a matter of time, in my opinion.

00:19:20.000 And also, it feels good to fight for something you believe in.

00:19:23.000 And, you know, we can rest when we get our freedoms back.

00:19:25.000 And we will.

00:19:26.000 We will.

00:19:27.000 Thank you so much.

00:19:28.000 Before we go, tell us how people in the United States around the world can support you.

00:19:34.000 Well, my website is reignitedemocracyaustralia.com.au and we have a subscription there.

00:19:39.000 We send out daily emails with latest news.

00:19:41.000 So you can just flick through them and see if there's something that's interesting to you.

00:19:44.000 So it'd be great if you subscribed.

00:19:46.000 And, you know, we have, obviously you can support us as well, but there's so many great organisations that need your support.

00:19:51.000 So don't worry, we're all this far away.

00:19:53.000 I'd love you to just follow me and keep up to date.

00:19:55.000 Monica Spett, thank you very much.

00:19:58.000 Keep fighting and we will be fighting with you.

00:20:00.000 Thank you very much, Monica Spett.
