Watching the reactions of Aussies to shortages of toilet paper and non-perishable food in supermarkets has been an interesting case study in herd psychology and the madness of crowds.

The majority of people, who rely upon the mainstream media for their news and views and so have not prepared for a global pandemic, are shocked and outraged at images of toilet paper missing from supermarket shelves. These are people who have never seen stores emptied of goods except in images from overseas or maybe during natural disasters. They’re people who take normal for granted, and trust the made-up millionaires on the screen in their living room to tell them what’s happening, what’s real and what’s not every night.

They’ve outsourced their thinking and given responsibility for their needs and those of their families over to government, academia and media elites. Now their illusion of dependent security is being challenged by the reality of a global pandemic, they’re panicking and losing their cool.

Who are they blaming for their fear? The journalists who lied to them about the risks? The Chinese who lied about their condition and brought the bug here? The government who have prioritised GDP and Chinese interests over the Australian people and our interests?

No. That’s not who our scared fellow Australians blame for their fear and lack of preparedness. They blame those of us who have paid attention, thought for ourselves, taken responsibility and stocked up ahead of the storm. The ‘panic buyers’ who are now chilled out and ready for potential self-quarantine while they are losing their minds.

I first warned readers six weeks ago that what was happening in Wuhan was not the flu. Our family started preparing shortly before then. I’m sure many of you readers did too. That’s why you’re probably not panicking as you read this.

For years now, we in the alt-media sphere have been warning that the media is the mouthpiece of the establishment and the establishment cannot be trusted. The only people who believe the fictions of democracy, rights and freedoms are the docile tax-and-debt slaves who get their thinking from TV. The people who administer us here in Australia and the people they serve in New York and London have nothing but contempt for the great unwashed whose wealth they steal through the banks and the government.

Our internationalist elite do not see themselves as representatives of the people. They view the people as gullible and useless eaters who have to be managed to ensure they stay docile.
