How We Create Our Own Police State - Australian Case Study
Sydney Police Randomly Searched 382 Commuters And Charged 10 People Without Warrants Or Suspicious Cause. You could be next.
This could be you - randomly picked and searched without a warrant or suspicious cause: The new “wanding powers” in NSW, Australia.
There is a very good reason why every democratic system that deserves to be called so has control mechanisms in place to defend against the abuse of state power. One of these mechanisms is for police to have a warrant or suspicious cause to stop and search somebody. Last week, NSW Police was granted new “wanding and search powers” by our genius MPs pretending to “keep us safe” by eradicating one civil liberty after the other. This time, it is our human right to have privacy and the right to defend ourselves.
On Friday the 13th (Hmmm), Sydney Police launched “Operation Ames”, meaning “Friend” in French. They randomly searched 382 commuters on their way to work in one of the busiest transport hubs in Australia, Sydney Central Station, without search warrants or suspicious cause.
Why, you might ask.
Because our “friends” can do that now. It is to “keep you safe” from the theoretical, estimated 1 in a billion chance (?) to meet a mass-stabbing lunatic on your way to work. That is the official justification, and the captured MSM and millions of braindead citizens nod in agreement. The real reason is an ever-increasing totalitarian push to create a human rights obliterating police state.
While most people, including myself, were distracted with all sorts of worldwide political, ideological and health theatre, the increasingly totalitarian and anti-liberal Australian bureaucrats and their minions, the mainstream parties of Australia, continue to do what they do best: Busily and half-secretly chipping away on our hard-gained civil liberties all under the disguise and justification to “keep us all save.”
Because it is such a dangerous world out there.
So what happened?
There were three high-profile stabbings at the beginning of 2024 in Sydney. One was between three teenagers, in which one died. Then there was the high-profile attempted stabbing of a Sydney Bishop that fortunately ended with only minor injuries. The worst was the Bondi-Junction Shopping Mall stabbing, where a mentally unstable man under pharmaceutical medications sadly killed six people and injured more.
As so often with these things, this opened “a small window of opportunity” for the police to establish more authoritative undemocratic powers in record time with the help of the politicians who were supposed to defend our democratic freedom.
Triggered by the sheer coincidence of three stabbings within months, the sensational MSM fanned up the fear of “knife attacks” to pave the way for broad public support of the dumb-downed, perpetually scared masses.
It was all about emotions. Proper stats, basic logic and common sense were ignored.
The Council for Civil Liberties tried to stop this senseless new law, but our elected MPs didn’t care to listen to the facts. This was their submission:
Knife crime declining in NSW
While community concern over knife crime may be growing, statistics show it has been trending down for years.
In 2004, there were 4,258 violent knife incidents, whereas in 2023 that figure was 1,518, according to the Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research (BOCSAR).
The Council for Civil Liberties has warned the declining knife rate does not support the proposed introduction of wanding.
President Lydia Shelley told ABC Radio Sydney she was concerned the Bondi Junction tragedy was being used to score political points.
"We're really concerned that the expansion of police powers is not actually going to make any of the perceived risk to the community any less," she said.
"These laws would not have stopped that terrible tragedy that occurred in Bondi a few weeks ago." (Source)
While scoring political points seems the main thing politicians do these days, I fear deeper, more nefarious forces are at work.
This fits right into the trend of a sharply increasing totalitarian culture globally that started decades ago and was massively ramped up after 9/11 but exploded under the excuse of the so-called COVID-19 pandemic.
I believe that the current totalitarian global culture, having infiltrated most Western nation-states by now, has influenced this. Until many more citizens realise the significantly captured nature of the main political parties and bureaucrats in many nations by the Globalists, they unwittingly support it by voting for the corrupted political establishment.
This is not a conspiracy theory. This is real.
In a filmed interview, Klaus Schwab, the former head of the WEF, boasted that many national cabinets are now “infiltrated” by their WEF-trained “young global leaders”.
The MP you voted for in the last elections might be one of those - openly or secretly.
If people choose to vote for the main political parties, they should get used to being searched without a warrant or cause on their way to work and seriously start to worry about what they have on themselves. Despite following the new “knife law” to combat knife crime specifically, police generously and possibly illegally extended their search and charges to much more than knives.
So, what exactly are these new police powers?
In May 2024, our esteemed “independend” tax-payer-funded ABC News reported
I let the article speak for itself:
Police in New South Wales will be able to "wand" anyone in designated areas for a weapon, under a state government proposal to combat knife crime.
Officers will not need a warrant, nor will they need to have a reasonable suspicion someone is carrying a knife before they use the metal-detecting wands on members of the public.
In other words, they can search anyone without giving any reason. Sounds like despotism to me. How MPs in a democracy can vote for this is unexplainable unless those MPs are under some totalitarian spell or control.
Fortunately, there is a restriction regarding the location:
This is the official NSW government source:
These powers will be made available in circumstances where a relevant offence involving weapons, knives, or violence has occurred within the past 12 months.
So why Sydney Central Station?
A quick search reveals that there, indeed, was a stabbing of a police officer at Sydney Central Station in the past. But it was in 2019 - five years ago, significantly longer than the permitted 12 months.
So, it appears that NSW police broke the “kife crime condtions” in their very first outing, which is unexplainable unless they are under some totalitarian power trip and don’t care and fear any public or legal backlash to it.
And they are right to feel that way because none of the five different MSM articles I read makes a single “peep” about this obvious fact. This is unexplainable unless police and MSM somehow overtly or covertly work together to ignore the fact that they unlawfully stretched the conditions of their “wand powers”.
Police charged ten people during this “Operation “Friend" with considerable negative consequences for them.
I am no lawyer, but I hope the people charged and their lawyers are wise to this. It looks like that whole operation was illegal, and all charges should be thrown out.
One must wonder if questioning, challenging, or holding authorities accountable is now considered past-millennial journalism. The MSM of today seems to have a more authoritative “affirmative role”.
Most of them reduced their reporting to giving “terrifying details” about what we, the people, carry with us. Since when was that anybody’s business? It is now, in two big states in Australia - Queensland and NSW.
And, in an unexplainable coincidence, unless the love for totalitarian things is global, Germany is also working on a similar nonsense “knife law,” as reported by the very popular Substack writer
in The Dumbest Knife Law Of All TimeAs long as most people are unable or willing to use critical thinking and see where this is leading, there is not much hope.
So, what terrible criminals and weapons did the police find?
Knives, tasers and slingshots are some of the weapons uncovered by NSW Police……
MSM didn’t bother to enlighten us about the“other wepaons” unless “drug paraphernalia” is classified as a weapon now. I guess a vicious person could mass murder people by sticking a hash pipe - sharp end first - in people’s eyes.
When public safety is at stake, we can’t be too suspicious. It reminds me of the good old Wild West: Arrest and charge first, then ask questions.
This new law is all about knives and preventing knife crimes. Additionally to the wanding powers, it has new regulations on who, where and when people can legally buy and have knives on them.
And yet, police feel entitled to search, confiscate and charge people for carrying items other than knives under a wanding operation specifically aimed at knives only. How can that be legal?
But the MSM didn’t ask. Nobody did. They just can, apparently.
And then the slingshots.
I guess, a Robin Hood-like master sling shooter could kill a few people in a train station with a slingshot. Charged.
How ironic - are we in a David vs Goliath biblical battle where we get arrested, shipped to a police station, charged and kept without bail for owning a slingshot now? Because, if you keep reading, that’s precisely what happened.
No, honestly, I am not joking. I wish I were.
People have to wake the fuck up.
And what has drug paraphernalia to do with this operation?
Just imagine you buy a hash pipe as a Christmas gift for a legally entitled cannabis smoker or send it overseas, and get randomly wanded down and body searched and then charged with possession of that? All under a new law to combat “knife crime”?
If that doesn’t tighten your balls, maybe you should back off on the anti-depressants a tick.
And people believe we can trust the police with powers like that?
In their very first operation, they broke numerous conditions and didn’t seem to care.
More shockingly, the MSM did not ask the police one critical question or cite an opposing opinion.
That’s precisely where the slippery slope into totalitarian overreach and total erosion of civil rights begins. More precisely, we have been sliding down that slide for years now, and our good citizens worldwide still don’t get it and still vote for their captured big-party MPs,s not realizing they all support this bullshit.
So, let's hear the damage of a roughly 12-hour search on 382 innocent ordinary Sydney commuters.
A 41-year-old man and a 30-year-old woman were both arrested by police following a search at Central Station.
The man was allegedly in possession of a taser, while the woman allegedly had a taser, two slingshots and a knife.
Now, let’s look at one of the dangerous criminals they pictured who was about to start another mass massacre, a skilled Ninja simultaneously using two slingshots, a knife and a taser.
Look at the size of her, for fuck’s sake !!!!
Then, look at the size and geared-up policewoman with her protection gear and a gun ready to use.
Sarcasm aside, there is no way to know if she is dangerous or not. Maybe she was planning to harm with those weapons. Or perhaps she was using them to protect herself.
People forget how vulnerable small women are in a big city. How does she defend herself? Oh, she shouldn’t. No, instead, she should say to her attackers:
“Hang on a minute. I need to call the police to come and save me from you.”
And that’s where all this is also aiming at - to destroy our God-given right to self-defence while the real criminals and authorities have all the weapons they want at their disposal.
It is illegal in Australia to even own pepper spray to defend ourselves. But the police can, of course. Because they have to protect themselves from old ladies lying on the ground:
This photo went around the globe during the COVID-19 protests in Melbourne, Australia (there is also a video of it, which is even more disturbing). It was so horrible that even Australia’s captured MSM had to report it. I don’t know if that officer was ever identified and sanctioned by the police.
Trust the police to have all the powers while all ours are taken away step by step.
But a small woman, carrying two slingshots, a taser and a knife on her without showing or using it - just minding her own business - is searched, arrested, transported to a police station and charged with three charges.
….while the woman was transported to Day Street Police Station and charged with three counts of possess or use a prohibited weapon without permit and custody of knife in public place.
And, to add insult to injury, kept without bail in a prison cell for that. The same happened to a man, not for carrying a knife, but a taser.
[Both] were refused bail and are expected to appear in Downing Centre Local Court today.
Australian police just saved us from a terrible mass murdering taser maniac at Sydney Central Station, seemingly illegally using their “new wanding powers” five years after a single stabbing there.
Talking about “Wanding powers”.
So cute:
Reality sometimes looks like this:
Can someone please give me a slingshot?
The Australian Police Union supported the “wanding power” because it makes the officers less vulnerable.
As usual, MSM are fanning the fear rather than questioning the seemingly illegal use of it. The Nightly reports:
“I see the police here seizing weapons from people that I may have been standing next to on the train,” one commuter said.
“It’s genuinely terrifying to think that they are just wandering around here and could use these weapons on anyone at anytime.”
The Gold Coast Bulletin is even more dramatic:
Sydney’s knife problem laid bare as cops wield new powers
It took just five minutes for NSW Police to find their first knife at Central Station on Thursday. What else they found will shock you.
Tasers and Slingshots. I am genuinely shocked.
This is just another step to the transhuman and utopian crime-fighting model to try to prevent a crime before it happens.
Just because someone carries something that could be used as a weapon doesn’t mean it is used as a weapon.
But even more nefarious, this is the same woke strategy to exaggerate a barely probable threat to crisis level and then demand money or “powers” to try to control something that can’t be controlled:
An invisible, mostly harmless virus for a healthy person
An invisible, modelled future climate crisis
Very sporadic violent events with a specific weapon
There is no way to prevent or control this.
This is insanity.
Firstly, on the extremely rare occasion that someone is mentally unstable or politically motivated and gets out there to commit mass murder, this law will do nothing to prevent this.
To the contrary.
It is so idiotic; it is beyond belief.
This law will actually help people to choose a venue that can’t be “wanded” because no prior knife crime has ever happened there.
They indeed won’t choose Bondi Junction Shopping Mall or Sydney Central Station. The very place where police officers waste our taxes by charging people for carrying tasers and slingshots to “prevent knife massacres.” is the most unlikely place the mass murderers will ever show up.
But it’s not about that, the NSW Prime Ministers tell us.
Don’t worry, good citizens, we have everything under control. Law and order always get us politicians re-elected because there is nothing easier than scaring stupid people with stupid stories and then offering stupid solutions, making the bureaucracies bigger and more powerful. (my words, not his)
In this equally one-sided official-line-kowtowing ABC article, Minns is quoted:
Premier Chris Minns said the changes were "commonsense," following a series of violent incidents involving knives, including the Bondi Westfield attack, the church stabbing at Wakeley and the fatal stabbing of a teenager at Blacktown.
I agree - it's total common sense for a captured global puppet to further the progress of the end goal: A totalitarian police state with a helpless, clueless, woke, scared, complying population.
It sends a message, he says.
Mr Minns said the new powers would deter young people from carrying a knife.
At Sydney Central Station and Bonid Junction Mall where they can “wand” their hearts out - absolutely. But what about the rest of Sydney? An area of about 80 x 40 km with five Million people?
Of course, more knife fights and stabbing will occur, as they always have.
But even if it stops people carrying knives and tasers and slingshots.
What about hammers? Screwdrivers? Metal files? Battery-driven power tools like chainsaws, angle grinders, drills, nail guns…….
If someone wants to do damage, they will find a legal tool to carry around and do it. No law or powers will stop that.
But they knew that all along, of course.
This is not about knives. This is all about control and power. And it is a vicious cycle.
In an increasingly oppressed, controlled, emasculated, mental-health-prone, medicated society, more and more people will flip and do terrible acts with whatever tool they have.
This will then lead to police asking “for even more powers” to combat these, which means removing the restrictions about where and when the “wands” can be used, and they will become standard practice everywhere.
If this trend continues, every police officer will carry a wand, scan, and search wherever they want without any suspicious cause or warrant. Sounds familiar? How is that called again?
POLICE STATE
How do we stop it?
Very unlikely from within:
I am sure there are some good and decent police officers out there. Still, if an organization has a particular culture, they will either leave again (as a few heroes did publicly in protest during the dark days of Melbourne) or shut up to keep their jobs. But one thing will be sure - they will not rise to the top to make meaningful cultural changes.
For the record, I don’t want to make light of the horrible ordeals of the victims and their families of those rare past stabbings. My compassion and sympathise is with them. Of course, these were terrible acts of violence I don’t wish on anyone. The same applies to police officers and their families who were victims of violence while doing their job.
I am not against the police. We would have anarchy without them.
But I am against a too-powerful, out-of-control police eroding our human and civil rights. I am against a police philosophy of power and control. It doesn’t need to be that way.
I have a good friend, a higher-ranking police officer in New Zealand, and I know what valuable work they do for the community. When I left NZ, the police still didn’t carry firearms (or wands) and did an excellent job of peacefully and respectfully keeping everyone safe, including troubled individuals.
I have the highest respect for the NZ police. During the 25 years I lived there, I was always treated with courtesy, fairness, and respect.
Sadly, I can’t say that about the Australian Police and other powerful bureaucratic Australian institutions, with the Border Force being the worst of them, in my personal experience. If Australia wants to survive as a democratic nation, it urgently needs to do something about its bureaucracy. It is killing the country.

Thank you for reporting this. I'm a Yank in Oz, and - from my first day here, I was in awe of how little the Aussie people protest for their rights. OK - melt the guns (that's when I heard about murders with machetes & chainsaws)... (and those guns somehow found their way back onto the streets to commit later crimes - how did that happen?)
I am a martial artist, and I'm not sure what I would have to do to acquire a live weapon for practice. I'm not allowed shuriken, katana, or even some of the blunt style weapons. WTF?
When I was in high school in the US , my best friend got in trouble for having a 7" blade. I think she was all of 5'2", maybe 99 pounds. She told them she used it to clean her nails. (it was a relatively safe environment, but she came from a tougher family - but - same city a few years later, I became very aware of my vulnerability in a different neighbourhood, and started with the martial arts).
I'm wondering: WHAT IS A KNIFE?
I carry a handy tiny Swiss Army thing that they won't let me take on the plane, but would it be seized at Central Station? Is a knife 2"? 4"? 6" or just bigger than the dick of the cop who is searching me?
At what point does a useful blade become a weapon, in the eyes of the "wanders?"
Fucking outrageous. Time to go nude!
