New York’s Collapse Is a Warning to Australia — If We Don’t Wake Up Now. · The Slippery Slope

• 0:11
  Welcome to the Slippery Slope podcast.
• 0:13
  I'm Jay Fallon. I do apologise for my voice of
• 0:16
  being a little under the weather the last couple of days So today
• 0:20
  I want to talk about something that's happening on the other
• 0:22
  side of the world in New York City.
• 0:25
  The big, The big is that what they refer to as the Big Apple,
• 0:28
  NYC, New York City. The reason why I'm talking about
• 0:32
  it is because the same pattern, the same ideology and the same
• 0:36
  consequences are already taking shape here in Australia, in my
• 0:42
  humble opinion. So we've got a video that's been
• 0:45
  circulating and it's showing what's happening in NYC right
• 0:50
  now. Squatters are taking over
• 0:53
  buildings, stairwells are being blocked, families are afraid to
• 0:57
  walk out their own front door. And the government that not only
• 1:01
  refuses to stop it, but is actively creating the conditions
• 1:06
  for it. And if you think that can't
• 1:08
  happen here, well mate, it already is.
• 1:12
  It already is happening here. So let's check out.
• 1:14
  I'll tell you what's actually happening in New York.
• 1:17
  The government has it's banned evictions, crazy banned
• 1:21
  evictions even for people who break in and occupy private
• 1:27
  property. It's stopped policing what it
• 1:31
  called minor crimes like trespassing, shoplifting,
• 1:35
  vandalism. If you know anything, just in
• 1:38
  case you don't know anything about my podcast and who I am, I
• 1:41
  was formerly a police officer with the Queensland Police
• 1:44
  Service. And when I was doing general
• 1:45
  duties policing and when I first started, I remember I was
• 1:49
  working in one town, one place and I was out, you know, touring
• 1:54
  with an older a senior police officer.
• 1:57
  And he said what he liked to do was pull up.
• 2:00
  He would do traffic stops even for things that are minor and
• 2:05
  you know, minor, minor infringements, minor traffic
• 2:09
  infringements. And it's because he believed
• 2:12
  that if people felt like they could just drive around with,
• 2:16
  you know, busted lights and all this kind of thing, well, then
• 2:19
  they would just keep pushing the envelope all the time.
• 2:21
  That if you if you, if you pulled up people and let them
• 2:24
  know you didn't have to find them every time, but if you at
• 2:28
  least gave them a warning, spoke to them about it, well, then
• 2:30
  they at least knew this is where the bar was.
• 2:33
  You couldn't just come into town, drive into town, just, you
• 2:37
  know, drive whatever rubbish little vehicle you wanted.
• 2:40
  You couldn't do whatever you wanted.
• 2:41
  Police were out and they were monitoring, they were looking at
• 2:44
  what's going on. They weren't just sitting in the
• 2:47
  office, you know, head in the sand, not taking note of what
• 2:51
  was going on in their town. So I thought that really makes
• 2:54
  sense. You've got to look at the minor
• 2:56
  things. You can't just overlook minor
• 2:58
  incidents all the time. But this is what they're doing
• 3:01
  in New York. This is what's been happening in
• 3:02
  Australia too. And they've also raised taxes on
• 3:05
  the middle class in New York, despite promising to only tax
• 3:10
  the rich. And they've created a culture
• 3:13
  where lawlessness is tolerated. And the people who actually
• 3:17
  work, they actually pay rent and follow the rules, are the ones
• 3:21
  who are being punished. So the result is that always a
• 3:26
  turned into makeshift bedrooms. And who wants to live like that?
• 3:30
  Stairwells are blocked, a literal fire hazard, and
• 3:34
  families are terrified to leave their apartments.
• 3:37
  And police show up, move squatters on, and then the
• 3:41
  squatters come straight back and the government that just shrugs
• 3:45
  its shoulders. This isn't an accident.
• 3:47
  This is what happens when ideology replaces common sense.
• 3:53
  And I think this is what's starting to happen here in
• 3:56
  Australia. It's been slowly going on,
• 3:58
  creeping in. Let's look at the the ideology
• 4:02
  behind it. I suppose the NYC, New York City
• 4:04
  Mayor Mandani and his political allies openly identify as
• 4:10
  democratic socialists and their policies reflect that world
• 4:17
  view. Private property is immoral.
• 4:20
  If you listen to their speech, the way they talk, private
• 4:23
  property is looked at view that as being immoral.
• 4:26
  Landlords, landlords are, they're framed as exploiters.
• 4:31
  Business owners are the enemy anyway.
• 4:36
  Self sufficient people are a threat to the system and the
• 4:41
  solution to every problem is more government, more taxes and
• 4:47
  more control. And the key point that I wanted
• 4:50
  to talk about today, I think for this is when you demonise the
• 4:54
  people who build society, you eventually destroy society.
• 5:00
  And New York, in my opinion, is the living proof.
• 5:04
  We're seeing it all playing out before our eyes.
• 5:08
  So if you want to relate this back to Australia, which is what
• 5:13
  how I can, how I see it, let's look at this, Australia is not
• 5:19
  that far behind. We're seeing state governments
• 5:24
  normalising lawlessness, overlooking lawlessness in some
• 5:29
  parts, youth crime exploding, police told to deescalate, which
• 5:33
  I don't mind, please deescalating.
• 5:36
  But all too often, and this isn't the police fault, police
• 5:40
  officers fault offenders get released again and again, which
• 5:44
  is our system, which is their magistrates and their judges
• 5:48
  taking a softer look at crime, softer view, viewing people as
• 5:52
  victims rather than hey, these are the people that actually the
• 5:56
  perpetrators, These are the people that are actually
• 5:58
  committing the crimes. We've got property rights are
• 6:01
  being weakened here in Australia as well, from rental freezes to
• 6:05
  land use restrictions to temporary emergency, emergency
• 6:11
  powers, When said temporary, I mean temporary.
• 6:13
  That seemed to just go on and on.
• 6:15
  They just seems to never end. Sometimes we've got taxes
• 6:19
  creeping upward. I don't know if it's creeping
• 6:22
  upward. Taxes just seem to be in
• 6:24
  Australia just won't skyrocketing upward.
• 6:27
  Always just on the rich, but until suddenly the middle class,
• 6:32
  which I would classify myself as caught in the Nets, a political
• 6:36
  class which seems to be obsessed with ideology, but it's not
• 6:43
  obsessed with outcomes. They're just obsessed with
• 6:46
  ideology and catchphrases. But don't look at the outcomes
• 6:50
  that happen. Would they just have slogans?
• 6:53
  We've got this cultural shift that treats success as
• 6:58
  suspicious, if not does not encourage success at all.
• 7:03
  Our current government, and it does encourage dependence on
• 7:08
  governments and views it as virtuous.
• 7:11
  So just like New York, the people who follow the rules, the
• 7:15
  workers, the families, the taxpayers, they're the ones who
• 7:19
  are being squeezed. We are the ones who are being
• 7:21
  squeezed. Australia's walking the same
• 7:24
  path, but we seem to be just a few steps and a little bit to
• 7:28
  the left behind, you know, not quite, not quite there.
• 7:32
  So this, I don't think this is just political, this is also in
• 7:37
  my view moral, it's spiritual. This because remember, and I've
• 7:42
  said this numerous times, that's we, we have to end up in this
• 7:46
  position globally where we have this one world government, where
• 7:50
  we have this monetary system where the B system has complete
• 7:54
  control, complete control as what's described in Revelation.
• 7:59
  But the only way to have the Great Reset that they've been
• 8:03
  talking about for years is to completely destroy the system
• 8:07
  that's currently in place. So that's why I think this isn't
• 8:10
  just political, it's moral. It is spiritual when you think
• 8:14
  about when a society abandons truth and abandons truth,
• 8:19
  abandons order, abandons responsibility and it abandons
• 8:24
  accountability, people taking being accountable for their own
• 8:28
  actions. Chaos then fills that vacuum and
• 8:33
  you have lawlessness ruling and then people are politicians
• 8:36
  saying, hey, it's actually a good thing.
• 8:39
  You know, this isn't good, that maybe we used to view it that
• 8:41
  way. It's which reminds me of the
• 8:44
  verse which I've also talked about numerous times, Isaiah
• 8:48
  520. It warns us that, you know,
• 8:50
  those are those who call evil good and good evil.
• 8:53
  That's exactly what we're seeing.
• 8:56
  I believe criminal behaviour is excused.
• 9:00
  Law abiding citizens get punished.
• 9:04
  You know, it's no longer good to to have a vision to own property
• 9:08
  that to succeed, that kind of thing that's viewed now, it's
• 9:12
  it's talked about as if, no, that's not something you should
• 9:14
  aspire to. Law abiding citizens get
• 9:17
  punished and government keeps expanding while families
• 9:22
  struggle and dependency is encouraged, while responsibility
• 9:28
  is mocked, dependency on God. Because again, like what I've
• 9:31
  said numerous times is the government has been trying to
• 9:35
  replace God in our society, replace God with themselves.
• 9:39
  This is what happens when a culture rejects God, worships
• 9:44
  the created rather than the creator, and and rejects God's
• 9:49
  design for justice, God's design for stewardship and personal
• 9:55
  responsibility. I personally believe that if you
• 10:00
  are really a Bible believing Christian, you would have to be
• 10:05
  a capitalist. You have to believe in the, I
• 10:10
  suppose, follow a capitalism. Capitalism.
• 10:13
  You couldn't be a socialist because capitalism encourages
• 10:18
  people to work for themselves, encourages people to work and
• 10:22
  take responsibility for their own actions.
• 10:25
  Whereas socialist ideology encourages this dependence on
• 10:30
  government and relying on others to support you, you know.
• 10:35
  So why I think this matters for Australia.
• 10:38
  As you can see, New York hasn't been collapsing.
• 10:42
  It didn't collapse overnight, but it did it slowly.
• 10:46
  It's going down this going down this slippery slope.
• 10:48
  And Australia is on that slope right now.
• 10:51
  We've been normalising disorder. We've been, we, we punish
• 10:55
  productivity. We we've got this expanding
• 10:58
  government power, we're undermining property rights.
• 11:01
  We're teaching generations that the system is the enemy and
• 11:06
  government is the saviour. And we, we have parents that
• 11:11
  don't teach their children to work, don't encourage their
• 11:16
  children to work. And they don't set an example to
• 11:19
  work. They don't set an, an example to
• 11:23
  aspire for greatness and aspire to, for greatness through hard
• 11:28
  work and actually saying, hey, well, you do have to actually
• 11:32
  work hard. You're not just going to be
• 11:33
  given all these things. And that's why I say you've got
• 11:37
  these. We're teaching generations that
• 11:39
  the system is the enemy and everyone, you know, no one else,
• 11:43
  everyone else is to blame. It's not because you have done
• 11:47
  anything wrong and they and they put themselves, the government
• 11:50
  as the saviour, the government's the one that can support you and
• 11:53
  everything and not teaching that you have to work, you have to
• 11:57
  labour. And once you reach this certain
• 12:00
  point, it's very hard to climb back.
• 12:03
  So New York may already be past that point, may not, not
• 12:09
  convinced, but it may already be past that point.
• 12:11
  But Australia doesn't have to be.
• 12:13
  We need to, we need to, we should speak the truth even when
• 12:19
  it's unpopular, even when the government turns around and say,
• 12:23
  hey, you have to take this needle because you have to do
• 12:26
  this. Speak the truth.
• 12:28
  Stand up for your rights, stand up for your human rights.
• 12:31
  The government likes to say they stand for human rights, but
• 12:35
  every time it gets a little bit hard, it doesn't fit their
• 12:38
  narrative, doesn't fit what they want to do.
• 12:40
  Human rights always go at the door with the government.
• 12:43
  We need to defend property rights and the rule of law.
• 12:47
  Don't take law into your own hands, but we need to defend the
• 12:50
  rule of law. We need to push back against
• 12:53
  policies that reward dependency and and punish responsibility.
• 13:01
  At the at the moment we have a government, we have state
• 13:03
  governments that are punishing farm land owners, land holders,
• 13:09
  farmers for standing up for their own rights and for their
• 13:12
  own property rights. We need to teach our children
• 13:15
  the value of work, the value of family, the value of faith and
• 13:21
  freedom. And we need to hold leaders.
• 13:24
  I've been saying this for years, hold leaders accountable, not
• 13:30
  for their slogans, because they all come up with these Pretty
• 13:33
  Little slogans, but we need to hold them accountable for their
• 13:37
  results. And above all, we need to return
• 13:40
  to the foundations that made Western nations strong in the
• 13:45
  1st place. And what made Western nations
• 13:48
  strong? A biblical principles, personal
• 13:51
  taking personal responsibility and having moral clarity.
• 13:57
  Not all this ambiguity not you know you can be whatever you
• 14:02
  want to be, even if it's a cat no.
• 14:05
  So New York is a warning and Australia should pay attention
• 14:10
  because once you let, once you let ideology override reality
• 14:17
  and once you let lawlessness become normal and once you let
• 14:21
  government grow beyond its purpose, big government,
• 14:26
  Australia loves big government. You don't get your society back
• 14:31
  easily. As always, look, this is this is
• 14:35
  just my opinion. If you want to support me,
• 14:38

• 14:41
  stuff and please give me a like and a share and a hype if that's
• 14:46
  OK for YouTube. Like I said, this is all just my
• 14:50
  opinion. I'm still Jay Fallon and thanks
• 14:53
  for listening to the Slippery Slope podcast.

  They just feel the.
