Melbourne, the second-largest city in the nation of Australia, is now further extending yet another lockdown – the sixth one to be exact – though officials were debating loosening some restrictions for the vaccinated.
Now with fears that the Delta variant is spreading, the government has decided to extend the lockdowns further, and will officially end on Thursday, August 19th.
20 new cases have been reported in the latest 24-hour period, according to Tulsa World.
This is very challenging, I know, for every single Victorian who would like to be going about their business. They’d like to be open and have a degree of freedom that’s simply not possible because of this delta variant.
If we were to open, then we would see cases akin to what’s happening, tragically, in Sydney right now.
Victoria Premier Daniel Andrews
Sydney, the largest city in Australia, reported 344 cases in one day on Wednesday. Two patients dies overnight, which brings the death toll for New South Wales (the region that Sydney is apart of) is now at 36 deaths. The two men that passed away were both in their 90’s.
I’m really calling out to everybody to say please get vaccinated because … there will be opportunities in September and October for us to be able to say to the community if you are vaccinated, you might be able to do a certain level of activity which you can’t now.
September and October will be the most challenging months for us in terms of public policy, in terms of how we move forward, because we wouldn’t have reached the 70% but yet we would have increased vaccination rates.
New South Wales Premier Gladys Berejiklian
Furthermore, as reported by News 18, the lockdown is Sydney will remain in place, and get tougher, as Berejiklian is now adding even more military troops to secure the lockdowns.
Defence Minister Peter Dutton told Reuters that they will adding further additional military support very soon.
Roughly 580 unarmed army personnel are already helping police enforce home-quarantine orders, for those that are deemed the worst-affected suburbs of Sydney.
‘Lockdown rules were tightened in three more local council areas in Sydney, limiting the movement of people to within 5 km (3 miles) of their homes,’ says the News 18 report.
We are making sure that we do not leave any stone unturned in relation to extra (military) resources.

AUTHOR COMMENTARY
This is very challenging, I know, for every single Victorian who would like to be going about their business. They’d like to be open and have a degree of freedom that’s simply not possible because of this delta variant.
That has to be a contender for the quote of the year. Can you imagine this little dorky poindexter standing up and saying this? Well, he did, and people are listening; but not entirely, as many Australians are FINALLY standing up and fighting back against some of the worst of the worst lockdown measures in the world.
As a roaring lion, and a ranging bear; so is a wicked ruler over the poor people.
Proverbs 28:15
And once again, as I have brought this up many times with Australia and New Zealand especially, the amount of people getting sick and dying for this un-isolated virus is a joke. And once again, the devils in the Australian government are further locking down because of two elderly men that died!
As I said in my latest report about vaccine mandates, I shall say it again:
But I want to make it clear: as more mandates come, obviously our way life will no doubtably be much tougher; but remember the scriptures:
[1] Praise ye the LORD. Praise the LORD, O my soul. [2] While I live will I praise the LORD: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being. [3] Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help. [4] His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish. [5] Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God: [6] Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keepeth truth for ever: [7] Which executeth judgment for the oppressed: which giveth food to the hungry. The LORD looseth the prisoners: [8] The LORD openeth the eyes of the blind: the LORD raiseth them that are bowed down: the LORD loveth the righteous: [9] The LORD preserveth the strangers; he relieveth the fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down. [10] The LORD shall reign for ever, even thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise ye the LORD.Psalms 146:1-10
[4] Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice. [5] Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand. [6] Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. [7] And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.Philippians 4:4-7
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

Absolutely insane what is going on in Australia, I can’t believe it. Brian just put out a video, and in the beginning it shows the riots that are going on there right now. I’ve never seen anything like it in my life. Excellent article as always.
And let’s pray that the riots get stronger and scarier, too! And YES, there will be weapons! Maybe the wildlife can join them in the fight too. Australia has the world’s deadliest animals on the planet!
Cone snail
Stonefish
Box jellyfish and irukandji jellyfish
Blue-ringed octopus
Saltwater crocodile
Redback spider
Sydney funnel web spider
The snakes: deadlier than India:
Tiger snake
Death adder
Inland Taipan (deadliest land snake in the world)
Coastal Taipan
Central Ranges Taipan
Eastern Brown Snake
King Brown Snake
Cassowary
Great White Shark
Australia, from what I heard from missionaries preparing to live there a few years ago, is a very atheistic country, even compared to the USA. Very liberal, surrendered their guns within this past decade, I believe. Hence, the draconian measures and numerous lockdowns. When you give up your guns, in disobedience to the Lord’s command to sell your garment and buy a sword, this is what you can expect from the bloody kingdom builders. It’s a very biblically illiterate country, Ken Hamm notwithstanding, a person who does not sell King James AV1611 bibles on his theme park properties in the USA.
Yeah that nation is mega progressive. They have laws against pepper spray. Literally, anything at all (including your bare knuckles) can be labeled as a weapon if there is even the slight ‘intent’ of threat. It’s insane. Hamm-burger is a bonafide “lordshipper,” good friends with Ray Comfort, Todd Friel, MacArthur, and others.
Remember: Australia is also home to one of the largest Satan centrals in the world: Hillsong (HELLSONG) particularly in Sydney.
That dorky poindexter the only thing he can manage to rule over can be his Pokémon card collection. Millions of angry and armed Aussies are gonna take him to the cleaners and more!
That dork could get beat up by a five year old girl while she’s blindfolded! Throw him to the millions of livid and hopefully armed Australians that would love to make him into saltwater crocodile chow!
Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Philippians 4:6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
