The Thought Police


Djokovic has been in the news recently (Friday, May 8th 2020) for thinking outside the box:
Novak Djokovic slammed after making 'dangerous' theories on Instagram 
Novak Djokovic has been involved in controversial talks with a friend on Instagram. Djokovic later went on to state that "when you give water pain, fear, frustration, anger, that water will break apart.” 
He added: “They saw if you had specific thoughts, specific emotions onto the water, if they were happy thoughts, if they were good thoughts, they created a molecular structure that had a geo-prism based on sacred geometry meaning there was symmetry and balance. 
“On the opposite end when you give water pain, fear, frustration, anger, that water will break apart.” 
Over 500,000 have viewed the discussion between Djokovic and Jafarieh and Carillo was less than impressed with what she heard from the world No 1, labelling it 'dangerous stuff'. Link
Carillo refers to Mary Carillo, a tennis commentator, who was left "very disturbed" by this interchange between Djokovic and Jafarieh regarding food and water. 

Of course, Djokovic is guilty of worse thought crimes than this. In fact, he is guilty of one of the worst: vaccine hesitancy.
'Tennis events have been cancelled since early March and they will not resume until late July at the very earliest. It is suggested that tournaments could be played behind closed doors until lockdown restrictions across the world are eased. But for players to travel to different countries it could be required that they are first vaccinated. And Djokovic came under fire by suggesting he did not want to be forced into inserting the curse into his body. 
"Hypothetically, if the season was to resume in July, August or September, though unlikely, I understand that a vaccine will become a requirement straight after we are out of strict quarantine and there is no vaccine yet," Djokovic said during a Facebook Live chat with Serbian athletes." 
"Personally I am opposed to vaccination and I wouldn't want to be forced by someone to take a vaccine in order to be able to travel. But if it becomes compulsory, what will happen? I will have to make a decision. I have my own thoughts about the matter and whether those thoughts will change at some point, I don't know."  
The 17-time Grand Slam winner has since backtracked and admitted he will give the vaccination a rethink.' Link
Yes, a "rethink" is in order because clearly his thinking is not right. Of course mandatory vaccinations are coming and the following headline is a taste of what's ahead:
'Cancel their contracts, they are a menace to society': Anti-vaxxer NRL stars are slammed as 'entitled' for refusing to get the flu jab - as league gives players 48-hour ultimatum.  
NRL will grant exemptions to allow anti-vaxxers to play without getting a flu shot. Players will be made to sign a waiver confirming they understand risk of playing. Changes to policy come despite calls to mandate flu shot by PM Scott Morrison. Up to 20 NRL players are refusing to get flu shot but will still be able to compete.

In aged care facilities in New South Wales, Australia, the following is mandated (link):
All staff require flu shots 
Flu vaccines are required for all staff working in aged care facilities (this includes but is not limited to nurses, kitchen, administration cleaning staff, transport crews as well as any visiting volunteers or agency staff).  
All visitors must be vaccinated 
Flu vaccination is required for all visitors to aged care facilities. Aged care facilities are required to take all reasonable steps to ensure that a person does not enter or remain on the premises if they do not meet the influenza vaccination requirements.
Currently, residents of age cared facilities are strongly encouraged to have their flu shots but it is not mandatory ... yet. The vitriol levelled by the rank-and-file, brain-washed citizenry against "anti-vaxxers" is the most disturbing feature of the push to expand vaccinations. The propaganda has been most effective. To be a "good citizen", you must submit to vaccinations or be labelled "a menace to society".



Remember: closed minds stop thought crimes!
