It begins: A Western 'democracy' calls in its military to force citizens to lockdown

Is this a portent of what lies ahead here? Power-mad leaders in Western ostensibly democratic nations seem to be enamored of the controls over their own citizenry they seized when the Chinese virus first hit.

Now, military forces are being called in to supplement police, who feel unable to contain the popular resistance.

The deployment of troops to enforce Sydney's lockdown could alienate the community and fuel vaccine hesitancy, particularly in the hard-hit western suburbs where many Indigenous Australians and migrants and refugees live, community groups and residents are warning.

They'll undergo training at the weekend before joining police on the streets as they enforce a sixth week of lockdown.

"Another resident from Bankstown, who asked not to be named, said people were going to be frightened to see soldiers on the street:"If the military knocks on doors, people are going to be scared and angry.

He said residents in western Sydney felt as though they were being treated like "Uneducated, barbaric western suburbs heathens".

"But when it comes to us, we're treated like uneducated, barbaric western suburbs heathens, that need to feel the full brute strength of the law."
