Fri 18th December 2020 Current Affairs

I'm waiting for delayed gratification. T45 may well be the greatest President USA has had, based on analysis of achievements to date. He fixed a broken economy. He achieved peace by not going to war. He commandeered initiative in science and tech. He worked for all constituents, not the corrupt few which his opponents focused on. 

Opposition to T45 has been substantially larger than for any previous President. The Russia Hoax dominated (swamped) his Presidency. Treasonous activity by tech giants and social elite have persecuted T45. Partly, that was at T45's behest because he was an outsider to Washington. Trump has walked a path others have not because opposition to outsiders is fierce. Including from within his own party, with RINO members part of the swamp. 

Trump won re-election in terms of votes cast in record numbers. The swamp is trying to steal it from him. The swamp are abusing legal avenues to prevent analysis of their illegal activity. What will happen when it is decided that has not worked? How many people will the swamp kill to protect their 'interests'? In order to protect the union, SCOTUS has not acted prematurely. It is up to state legislatures to do the right thing. How will RINO affect the outcome of those state legislature? Will RINO break the union to support the swamp?

=== From 2017 ===

Don't give up on hope. Barry Cohen has died after several years with dementia. He supported decriminalising homosexuality, but opposed SSM. For over seventy five years of life, Barry was cogent and capable. He ran an upmarket mens store in affluent North Shore of Sydney before entering parliament. He was not insane, as many ALP ministers are today, Barry knew about balancing books. But it is the curse of ALP, the greatest thing that can be said about this lovely, witty, erudite fellow, is that in government he wasn't that awful. 

Because ALP lied about their membership, there will be as many as four by elections they will soon face. Because Turnbull leads the Liberals, there won't be a strong conservative challenge, but there may be expensive ones. Trump is talking of China and Russia's threat to world peace by building terrorist nations and using cyber security countermeasures. He may well be including Wikileaks. 

=== from 2016 ===
Media are spinning stories for ISIS as Aleppo is hit yet again. Focusing on civilians who are victims of tragedy, Press show distressed and grieving people in a hospital who have survived a bombing. We are assured the bomb was Russian or Syrian. What we don't know is the role of these civilians, often exploited as human shields, in the ISIS run 'administration.' The babies and children are victims, but were victims before the bombs too. Bombing is what Obama begged to do. The current situation in Syria is a textbook example of how Obama's new cold war policy works. Trump will change that. One suspects that almost anything Trump might do will improve things. Even backing Russia and Assad in Syria. 

News.com.au have run a story on racism in Australia. Only the story is about a mixed marriage in which the family were at a hospital reception where the receptionist registered surprise when they declared they were the parents of their child. Luckily Australia has a law entrenching racist division. Otherwise it might disappear completely. Spare a thought for those who are killed, imprisoned or maimed for being the wrong race elsewhere in the world. In Israel's so called Palestine one can be shot for talking to an Israeli. With UN approval. 
=== from 2015 ===
NSW conservative government has halved the number of local councils, saving billions for the years to come. Some, who forget that local councils are to do with basic services like urban planning and waste management claim that the amalgamations are bad because their expensive council puts on great parties. News limited had an article that was headlined to show a deputy mayor was unhappy his abysmal council was being replaced. But they hadn't actually served their constituents, just used it for wedding planning and self promotion. Bigger councils, in terms of constituents, will be harder to rort. The Greens will still have a few enclaves. It is a responsible decision by an adult government. And it will be opposed by many the press admire. 

For some, at the moment, the Sex Party has more credibility.
From 2014
Obama's decision to normalise relations with Cuba is consistent with his international approach. Obama funnelled large amounts of money and resources to sustain Hamas too. Cuba's tottering communist regime can be bolstered by this deal just as Hamas' leaders got a windfall. Obama has not been successful with his middle east policy. European Turkey has radicalised. The Arab Spring has quagmired into warring tribes supporting Al-Qaeda or Iran. The most promising being Egypt which has a leadership Obama opposed. Israel has done as well as could be expected with Obama's betrayals. If Obama wishes to make a meaningless gesture which won't harm anything, he'd free or pardon Jonathan Pollard. 

The definition of terrorism demarcates how security forces behave. NSW handled the Martin Place siege as well as could be expected, but federal and international support was available in the event of a terrorist attack. It was a terrorist attack, with jihadist Monis threatening to kill for Islam. But it wasn't planned by international terrorist groups, like Hamas, Hezbollah, Fatah, AlQaeda, Taliban et al. A cartoon by Leunig circulated by Asylum Seeker Resource Centre ASRC is worth considering here. Titled "Todays recipe- cult pie" was produced on 3rd October 2014. "Take one death cult" pictured two darkened holding knife and rifles "blend with one insecurity cult" pictured two watching tv showing death cult image "Add one xenophobia cult" pictured two people gesture angrily at burka wearing mother and child "Stir in one compliant media cult" pictured two scheming in front of computer. "beat mixture with Prime Minister until it becomes frothy" pictured Tony Abbott figure bigger than ruined buildings mesmerising death cult figures and forlorn victims "Serve with smoke and mirrors then garnish with new laws and penalties" ASRC have titled it "Brilliant. Leunig on the fiction of the war on terror." The cartoon is clearly being used in a highly political way that reinforces myths. 

Monis exploited myths favoured by terrorists even as he came to Australia as an asylum seeker. There is the myth that Israel is partly responsible for terrorism. But the obvious reality is that Israel has no part in it, and is merely wanting to survive and prosper as any free people should. Israel is culturally diverse and democratic and is the safest place in the world for an Islamic person, many of whom are killed by their Islamic brethren. Historically, Palestine is a Roman word for a Jewish state. Palestinians have no ancient connection with the land but are ethnically Jordanian. UN has manufactured the middle east crisis for over sixty years, uniquely labelling children of so called Palestinians as Palestinian and not Israeli, it being the custom elsewhere in the world to label children of refugees as being citizens in the state they were born. No one wants the Palestinians in the middle east. They fought a civil war in Jordan, and in Lebanon, leaving a wasteland wherever they went. Fatah pioneered terrorism in airplanes, on boats and even with Munich Olympics. Hamas is worse. Obama has given hundreds of millions of dollars to the richest people exploiting Palestinians in their fight against Israel. Monis' denouncements of Jews follow the myth that is rarely contradicted by a compliant media. But that is not a media favouring Israel, but a media watching terrorists using human shields and child soldiers and suicide bombers comprised of the profoundly dumb and lying about it, cf Greste. 

Another myth is the one about the US exploiting terrorism through the CIA for oil. Obama met the Cuban Commissar at the funeral of Nelson Mandela. Mandela despised the US who got him free but was close friends with Yassir Arafat and Fidel Castro. Mandela as head of South Africa claimed the US invasion of Iraq was for oil, and not WMD. The WMD were known to be in Iraq, and were eventually found to have migrated to Syria. When they were decommissioned, they were found to have come from US and European arms manufacturers. The press have been aware of the existence of WMD in Syria since 2005 but were quiet about it as Democrats campaigned on missing WMD. The invasion was for the reason President Bush gave. But there is a need for oil and it is important that supply be secured. But the left overstate that argument and diminish the arguments given for. 

Another myth is the one of cowering Islamic peoples being set upon by Australian bigots. There are plenty of Australian bigots, but the examples of Australians picking on Islamic peoples are few. There were the hysterical responses to Cronulla where Muslims stabbed a surf lifesaver and then the Islamic community defended their youth and made claim it was justified. The ADL are suspected of outing an innocent Muslim SRA employee as a terrorist when actually they were just a hard working student. A jihadist's wife claimed she had had her clothing removed for ID purposes, prompting a law change. The accused policeman was innocent. There have been numerous attacks by jihadists on Jewish schools and peoples, totally unprovoked. Monis exploited the myth when he wrote to widows of soldiers who died after the ALP won federal government. Islamic boys had a rape campaign and their mothers justified their activity after they were jailed. But Australians have not mistreated Islamic peoples. We have welcomed them despite their activity. We have given them generous benefits, even Monis, who is said to have stolen $200k in Iran before coming to Australia was on welfare. 

Leunig's Cult Pie is misleading and offensive and the ASRC in promoting it are making it worse. And if it is accepted that Monis' siege was a terrorist attack, then it should be noted that Leunig and the ASRC are worse, and more closely approximate the definition of terrorist. Many have died for the policy of migration they advocate. Many suffer. Families are split. Pirates profit. It isn't compassionate to drown desperate people. Neither is it compassionate to be a bigoted anti semite. And to champion the cause of jihadists over their victims? 
From 2013
Miranda Devine writes of self inflicted wounds. I agree with her criticism of the Abbott Government, but also point out that Miranda noted the popularity of Rudd in '07. She was right about that too. However, there is a difference between advocacy and propaganda. Rudd's popularity was unsupported by virtue, and it was wrong not to point that out in '07. Abbott's appointment of a left wing creature has limited merit, and it is wrong to ignore that. Stott Despoja has an Arafat choice of either being a statesman or staying a terrorist. Arafat chose poorly. Unlike the position of Bryce as GG, Stott Despoja can't mess up this appointment without embarrassing herself. Meanwhile, a conservative in that position would not have bipartisan support. It is an adult choice made by Abbott, not an easy one. 

Meanwhile, the appointment of Tim Wilson to the Human Rights Commission is really good. Personally I despise the Human Rights Commission, which does not stand for human rights, but privileges of left wing orthodoxy. Tim can change that. I'd rather dismantle it.

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.

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 (Gofundme finished the fund raiser, 2017)
