At a meeting of frontline activists last Sunday at Mullum gardens, a man held up a copy of our beloved Echo and the crowd went, ‘BOOOO!’.
Remember, The Echo was started as a protest against government tyranny here in Mullum. Now it seems that The Echo, the Byron Community Centre, BayFM, and Byron Council are all going corporate. And this in Byron Shire!
Finally, there is a bill: No Domestic COVID Vaccine Passports Bill 2021, to safeguard us from being second-class citizens.
Please write to the politicians on this one. Safeguarding our ‘last rights’ rather than them reading our last rights to us as we expire, is important.
But what is really important is the state of the environment. The IPCC report released on 9 August is a shock. Attenborough’s series on the Great Barrier Reef and humanity’s approaching extinction is shocking as well.
SBS has broadcast two shows with climate experts saying we may have passed the ‘tipping point’ already. The tipping point is the point of no return for a runaway climate catastrophe, explained in the IPCC report.
No wonder the oligarchy wants to eliminate 90 per cent of humanity. It has been working on an airborne virus for decades.
Now everyone is being given the spike protein vaxxination to bring on the ‘great reset’. Will it be soon enough to make a difference? Will the messianic Second Coming save us? The ET’s? Gaia herself? Will those who know escape in their individual or group merkaba?
We are quickly coming to the fulcrum point. We will see it in our lifetime. There is an ‘Extinction Rebellion’ group working on an alternative. Blessings on your journey.


For four decades The Echo has printed the stories some people loved, some people hated, and some pretended not to read. If you want us to keep telling the truth, the real truth, not the sugar-coated version. We’ll need your support to keep the presses rolling.
