The Authentic Hub: Full list of businesses revealed as one member unleashes bizarre Trump conspiracy

A member of the newly-formed anti-vax business alliance in the South West believes former US president Donald Trump will save the world from an international secret group using COVID-19 jabs to de-populate the globe. The small business owner’s views were one of a string of bizarre responses provided when the South Western Times contacted each member of The Authentic Hub — a network of nine “pro-freedom” organisations in the region aiming to help the public choose to shop with companies supporting “human rights”. The group was this week slammed by Health Minister Roger Cook as “reckless” and “not helpful” to the State’s vaccination rollout, as well as by one of the region’s leading doctors Brenda Murrison, who said it was based on “dangerous misinformation”. The South Western Times can today reveal the alliance was formed by Sweeney Todd Barber’s Shop owner Abi Locock, who last month shared a social media post likening the vaccine to The Holocaust, which saw the genocide of more than six million Jewish people during World War II. BUNBURY’S ANTI-VAX ALLIANCE SLAMMED BY HEALTH MINISTER, DOCTOR It was reported earlier this year the hairdresser had also asked all her vaccinated clients to cancel their appointments with her. Ms Locock, pictured above, did not respond to questions about her involvement with the group. Group member Judi Van Dyke, who runs Bunbury-based Relaxabout Massage, said she believed the injections were part of a “New World Order” and Mr Trump was “working behind the scenes” to save the population. “He stepped down as president but he never went away,” she said. “He’s been working behind the scenes. “There’s going to be a big reveal soon.” Ms Van Dyke said she was “extremely wary” of the COVID-19 vaccine and “did not care” what other people thought. She said she was concerned about what she termed “shedding” from people who have had the vaccine, and so only accepts clients who are not vaccinated. “I would like people to come that are against having the experimental COVID injection,” she said. “It very personal. I like to check with them. “Being in close contact with people — if there is a problem (with the vaccine) I don’t want it. “I am opposed to it.” Ms Van Dyke said the pandemic was not real and described the McGowan and Morrison governments as “corrupt”, adding that there were Freemasons in all levels of government. She said group creator Ms Locock made contact with her about joining the alliance. Other members of the group are Forbidden Fruit fresh produce shop, Whole Green Pepper, Bunbury Optometrist, Mani Business Solutions, Creative Heart Counselling in Busselton, Owner Builder Assist, Nourished Naturopathy and Ms Locock’s own Sweeney Todd Barber’s Shop. Each organisation was contacted by the South Western Times about their involvement. Forbidden Fruit owners, who did not want to be named, said they were not aware of the nature of the Facebook group, and would be looking into it further. Whole Green Pepper denied its involvement, despite being featured in a Facebook post to the page, which has since been deleted. Nourished Naturopathy said it joined the group after being referred to it by a friend, but believed it was a “wellness” alliance. Owner Builder Assist owner Peter Cook said he wanted to give himself the chance to do his own research and encouraged others to do the same. “I have always been a person that likes to get all the facts and make a decision about what I want to do,” he said. “I also feel for people who seem to get bullied or discriminated for their personal views. I certainly don’t have a problem with either people who want to be vaccinated or those who don’t. “I believe everyone has a freedom of choice and the right to make up their own decisions based on facts and things. I just wanted to add my support.” All others did not comment. The Health Minister said earlier this week that the State’s vaccine rollout was still the most important factor in WA opening up to the world and movements such as this would slow the process. “Alliances like this are not helpful to the vaccination rollout,” he said. “It is reckless for anti-vaxxers to spread misinformation that could jeopardise the health and safety of all Western Australians. “COVID-19 vaccinations are safe, effective and save lives. “The next stage of responding to the pandemic relies on vaccinations.”
