Mon 23rd November 2020 Current Affairs

We know who voted for Trump. We saw them. Queues of people with hats and signs and cheering Trump in their thousands all over USA. We have not seen people in great numbers who supported Biden. There is no evidence they have ever existed outside of a riot or a hissy fit by a Democrat partisan election official. 

I watch Dan Bongino on Rumble and heard him on his Rumble cast say Trump should have addressed disloyal swamp creatures sooner. I disagree with it, and might have egg all over my face soon for saying so, but following is my reasoning. Trump has temporised on facing some of the swamp, not hesitated. Late last year, Trump said he was pulling troops out of Syria and was criticised for it severely. But then an ISIS leader stood up and special forces ran him to committing suicide rather than be taken. The operation, a sting masterminded by Trump had not included significant figures within his administration, and sparked a resignation of National Security Adviser Bolton, who had not been in the loop. Imagine the resistance if Trump had opposed more? But now, if Trump politically survives this, the swamp is exposed and has no support from conservatives. I'm reminded of former Premier of Victoria Jeff Kennett who had led a successful conservative government and had a crash or crash through election which he lost. Had Kennett won, he had clear air for a long time, but having lost Victoria is where the US will be if Biden is allowed to cheat a win. 

Trump cycle has it Trump is on his knees, before ... Media is cheering expected partisan court decisions to not support inquiry into voting fraud. However, they overstate the meaning of the shortfalls. The Trump campaign to have their electoral win restored was never going to be straightforward. They have the evidence. It points to multiple elections and undermines the credibility of US Democracy. Ultimately, aspects of it will be decided by SCOTUS. We do not yet know how SCOTUS will decide, or even what exact evidence they will face. But we know the evidence is substantial, and in an effort to suppress the will of conservative resistance, media are claiming that the evidence is not substantive and so the evidence is yet to be addressed. Maybe there is a good reason for a CIA asset being deployed to fraudulently control the US election. Let us hear what it is.

It is apparent that Dems committed fraud to steal the 2020 election. They may well have done similar in 2016. In 2016, Fox declared Pennsylvania early to HRC. The demand was made for Trump to concede. Trump won in 2016, but it surprised the establishment that did similar in their voter suppression as they have done in 2020. HRC had organised a victory party, but blessed marching vagina instead. Even her book did not say what happened. Trump has been very good at mobilising ordinary, decent Americans to support him in numbers greater than any GOP ever. Trump does not court race, or gender, like his racist, bigoted opposition have. Yet Trump has extraordinary minority support for a GOP, possibly the highest since Eleanor Roosevelt courted the Black vote as her husband exploited them. The Dem voting pattern and issues echo the Obama wins too. How long have Dems been using these fraudulent methods to obtain votes? Did they use them to bodgy the 2006 mid terms? It is not that the mysterious support of vapour for Dems is so clearly fraudulent, but, other than violent rioters, and #FakeNews, where is their support, really? How come there is no policy platform for Democrats? Why does Big Tech have to censor the truth? How many millions of Trump supporting votes have been given to Biden? The corruption is so apparent, and so pervasive, that if Trump concedes 2020, he will be conceding all elections that follow, and the flame of liberty will be extinguished in America.

Trump: Biden Would 'Kill the American Economy' in Rejoining Climate Treaty

President Donald Trump slammed the Paris climate accord on Sunday, telling world leaders at a virtual summit that the agreement was designed to cripple the U.S. economy, not save the planet. "To protect American workers, I withdrew the United States from the unfair and one-sided Paris climate accord, a very unfair act for the United States," Trump said in a video statement from the White House to the Group of 20 summit hosted by Saudi Arabia [Full Story]

That Brit is tone deaf to politics. The greatness of America is not from Lincoln compromising over slavery. Or With Germany over dividing South America. Or with Hitler over how to improve education. Or with the Soviets as to how to conduct a space race. The "Some good and some bad" argument ignores McCarthy and Nixon were right about Soviet influence. Or James Angleton. Was it a little bit good that Truman nuked a civilian population twice and still Japan hanged on until Russia got involved? Was it a little bit good that FDR had cities fire bombed so the Soviets would not beat the West to Berlin? Was it a little bit good that JFK betrayed Khruschev so that Breshnev took the reigns? Was it a little bit good to support Pol Pot?

Some people worship a God who causes suffering.
I worship the God who bears my suffering.
The Lord and Savior Isaiah 53:3-5 describes:
"He was hated and rejected by people.
He had much pain and suffering.
People would not even look at him.
He was hated, and we didn't even notice him.
But he took our suffering on him
and felt our pain for us.
We saw his suffering
and thought God was punishing him.
But he was wounded for the wrong we did;
he was crushed for the evil we did.
The punishment, which made us well, was given to him,
and we are healed because of his wounds."
Isaiah 53:3-5 (NCV)

Don't give up on hope. Today is Thanksgiving in USA. In 1621, some 90 American Indians and 53 pilgrims feasted over three days. Congress asked Washington to set aside a day for it. Lincoln formalised it. Service is related to freedom. Humbleness is related to responsibility. A blackout at work tonight taught me much. The owners actually care for their students. The black out is a direct result of Dan Andrews destroying a coal powered station that supplied a quarter of Victoria's needs. There will be many more black outs this summer. Local street lights did not work. We in Australia have been given much, but it is incumbent on us to be good stewards. And so when it is time to vote, I encourage Victorians to support Matthew Guy who will be a good steward of Victoria's resources, and not Dan Andrews who has demonstrably failed in service to Victorians. Andrews, when told that some Victorians were struggling, came up with Euthanasia. 

In a bizarre column, Andrew Bolt compares Bill Shorten to Tony Abbott. Abbott lost much standing on principle so as to help the conservative party. Shorten has taken much from the party that supports him. Abbott is to Shorten as Abraham Lincoln is to a Bonobo monkey. Queensland go to the polls soon, and ALP's leader, Palasczcuk is lying about Adani mine. Only LNP will responsibly marshall Queensland's resources. Activists are lying about illegal immigrants from Manus. at some $10k a head, it is an expensive holiday for them. They live in filth after having been given much, because activists lied to them, saying it would impress the world for them to be filthy. Had I gone on holiday to Fiji, smashed their toilets, ruined their kitchens and then said the experience was awful, the press would not reward me as they do these illegal immigrants. The message of thanksgiving is borne in humbleness. Anyone who holds their own life dear must acknowledge their wealth. Those that don't do not see what is there. 

I am a decent man and don't care for the abuse given me. I created a video raising awareness of anti police feeling among western communities. I chose the senseless killing of Nicola Cotton, a Louisiana policewoman who joined post Katrina, to highlight the issue. I did this in order to get an income after having been illegally blacklisted from work in NSW for being a whistleblower. I have not done anything wrong. Local council appointees refused to endorse my work, so I did it for free. Youtube's Adsence refused to allow me to profit from their marketing it. Meanwhile, I am hostage to abysmal political leadership and hopeless journalists. My shopfront has opened on Facebook. (and by 2020, the FB shopfront has never paid a cent)

IPA Review (Nov 2016) features a Matthew Lesh article on “Australian Tax Mutineers” and it includes the 2010 Rudd ALP Mining Tax. The tax had been a response to ALP’s declining returns from the economy during the GFC. It was anticipated that the tax would pay for any increased spending measures wanted for the approaching election. There had been no consultation, and the implementation was awful. The tax did not raise money but the spending measures were locked in. The mining industry ran adverts giving information about the industry that the government wasn’t admitting with their “Soak the rich” rhetoric. Finally Gillard rolled Rudd but kept the useless tax measure. Abbott killed the useless tax with the new senate in 2014. ALP kept holding onto the bill to the end. 

Turnbull's government had been crowing at passing legislation while the incompetent one was taking a selfie with Obama. But one of their plans involving a $5 departure tax was defeated. The reason for the defeat being Pauline Hanson and another of her party were absent when they were expected to support the bill. The bill would not have raised much money at all, but had the potential to exceed the Mining Tax of Kevin Rudd in 2010. 
=== from 2015 ===
Ian Plimer launched his book "Heaven and Hell" where he criticised Pope Francis for the papal encyclical which were it to be accepted without question, would condemn billions of people to live poor. Every day a billion dollars is spent on anthropogenic global warming alarmism. It is a faith not based on science. Pope Francis has allowed red greens to write his thoughts, and they promote socialist ideals and attack prosperity goals. Cheap energy from coal which releases carbon dioxide, a plant food, is essential for the world for energy. Pope Francis has welcomed debate. One can criticise the encyclical as a practicing Catholic. And one should. One welcomes debate, but despises how green reds have not engaged in debate but rather abused process, stealing a billion dollars a day from the world's poorest. 

For some, at the moment, the Sex Party has more credibility.
From 2014  
If you don't say what you mean, you can't mean what you say. 
Police have been prevented from effective policing on drugs by anti corruption laws. The result is the streets are over run with drugs. A concerned citizen could tell a policeman who a drug dealer is, and the policeman has to inform head office in a four week paper chase before the dealer can be assessed. In the unlikely case that a dealer is caught, they are likely to be excused by the courts without conviction. But people are dying from this pathetic attempt at harm minimisation. 

ABC is not really biased, it is openly partisan. It has never been balanced. However, it has grown too arrogant, too blatant. It has actually campaigned against Australia's national interest. It has covered up corruption within the ALP and Union movements. The particular issue at the moment is the structure of the organisation at the top. The board is incapable of holding the CFO or News Editor in Chief because there aren't any. The managing director is claiming that he is responsible without ever taking responsibility and the board are afraid of challenging him. The ABC is supposed to be independent of government, but they are also supposed to be competent. So when a march is held for the ABC opposing a five percent cut over five years, one might expect fair minded people of all types marching. Instead, the marchers are Socialist Alliance, or Maritime Union Australia or Media and Entertainment Arts Alliance with a speaker from Deputy ALP Plibersek and Green Ludlam but no conservative anywhere. Not even as a guest speaker. The ABC has to change to become competent. 

The Senate is being changed by the changing allegiances of Jacqui Lambie. She has promised to vote with the ALP and oppose all legislation. At the moment, any block of three independent senators can block any legislation the ALP and Greens oppose. There are eight independent senators most of whom vote with the ALP.  For good government, one has to vote conservative. 

A mosque chief in a nation supporting jihadist terrorism wants to tell Pope Francis that Islam is for peace. IS, Boko Haram and Al Shaabab offer different interpretations. 

Baby found in a drain by recreational walkers. Authorities suspect the boy had been there a week. Mother is located. There are important questions to be asked. Mother facing possible charges of attempted murder. 
From 2013
Flannery's prediction regarding rain has not been right, or Australian cricketers might have won more test matches this year (by more, I mean some). But it hasn't panned out, because it was a grossly unprofessional lie. The ABC have been broadcasting such grossly unprofessional lies for a long time. There is no balance within the national broadcaster. How that problem will be addressed will define how Australia will heal from the ALP years. One telling note is the ABC discovering they were the source of the leak of their salary. The problem is not the leak. It isn't just global warming that ABC is opinionated and wrong about, it is also politics. 

GG Bryce has again demonstrated why she is not fit for that office. She has in the past protected Queensland ALP from facing justice over their executive decision to commit a crime by destroying evidence of a gang rape of an aboriginal child held in detention. She has campaigned for the ALP in a bid for a UN seat. Her opinion on gay marriage is legitimate of a private citizen, not of a head of state. Her republican views are similarly incommensurate with her office. Should there arise a constitutional crisis, many would feel she is partisan. However, she is clearly trying to push Mr Abbott into a rash act, so as to delegitimise her successor. 


Barrie Cassidy occasionally says something right. I don't hear him say it, when he does, as I won't watch ABC news or current affairs .. I don't share their opinions. Riots in Indonesia show that ABC opinions are unbalanced and dangerous. Gillard takes sides, opposing her own government and attacking Mr Abbott. Where is that highly lauded policy dynamo that was credited with Medicare Gold a decade before Obamacare?

I am publishing a book called Bread of Life: January

Bread of Life is a daily bible quote with a layman's understanding of the meaning. I give one quote for each day, and also a series of personal stories illustrating key concepts eg Who is God? What is a miracle? Why is there tragedy?

January is the first of the anticipated year-long work of thirteen books. One for each month and the whole year. It costs to publish. It (Kindle version) should retail at about $2US online, but the paperback version would cost more, according to production cost.
If you have a heart for giving, I fundraise at gofund.me/27tkwuc
