PJ Media, balanced reporting group, have published an article claiming that the 2020 election was likely not fraudulently drawn, but a result of big tech creating a new lobby effort which institutionalises bias. It is true that big tech have done just that. However, Trump over-performed in the election forcing a Dem cabal to resort to voter fraud and it wasn't finessed as it had been in the past. In fact, it is obvious. Circumstantial evidence points to Biden not being popular at all, and not outperforming Obama by tens of millions. Circumstantial evidence points to it being unlikely 16.7% of counties favouring Biden elected him President, even with up to 350% of votes in a voting area favouring Biden. We have testimony of late postal votes being delivered over state lines in their hundreds of thousands. We know the vote system was vulnerable to outside influence and that checks and balances ensuring a fair election were removed. We know the fraud was prepared in advance, multi pronged, with the COVID health scare employed to overturn voting regulations ensuring fairness. We know voters favoured GOP in down votes on Senate and the house. Trump won fairly. Biden is attempting to steal the election, as Hillary attempted in 2016 with the Russia hoax, for which she has not served jail time, yet.
Is COVID hysteria entirely so China can influence the US election outcome? Were the lockdowns in Europe and Australia so that US states could claim a state of emergency and allow for dysfunctional voting procedure? Is it the case that people have died as a result of COVID hysteria, while the worst affected by COVID are not dying in the same numbers as they were pre-COVID?
There are reports on a Lt General McInerney claiming the Dominion server which was used to change votes and 'elect' Biden has been seized from a CIA site in Germany. Some US soldiers died. Details will be privy to SCOTUS. If true, several significant peoples on Democrat side face treason accusations. Several Deep State operatives face treason accusations. Could the first 'black President' of the United States face justice for his crimes? NB AFP fact check denies claim.How did #FakeNews predict a blue wave from 16.7% of counties favouring Biden? How did they measure voter fraud? How come #FakeNews is now unaware of voter fraud? Is it now the case that Democrat tactics are to force SCOTUS to make a decision so they can then claim SCOTUS is compromised?
The evidence of Fraud in the 2020 election, so widespread is harmful for democracy. It must be addressed. It was not solely the 2020 election, apparently, but had failed in 2016 after Trump over performed then, as he has now. Trump was so good in 2020, that the fraud became evident. It also highlights the possibility that voter fraud extended to 2006 and underpinned Obama's rise. As did big tech collusion. Recently, every one of my browsers would not let me access MAGAbook, citing privacy concerns.
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.

“ISRAELI SETTLEMENT FACTS AND FALSEHOODS”1. JUDEA AND SAMARIA (JEWISH ROOTS) OR WEST BANK (ARAB ROOTS)?
“Judea” (יהודה) is the origin of the term “Jew” (יהודי). Judea and Samaria are the cradle of Jewish history, religion, culture, holidays, ethos, language and yearnings. The official name of the area was “Judea and Samaria” from Biblical times until April 1950, when Jordan occupied/annexed the area, renaming it “West Bank,” as distinguished from the east bank of the Jordan River. Judea and Samaria was the official name used by the 1922-1948 British Mandate of Palestine, as well as by the U.N.
2. ARE JEWISH SETTLEMENTS IN JUDEA AND SAMARIA AN OBSTACLE TO PEACE?
Jewish settlements were established in Judea and Samaria after the 1967 War. However, it was pre-1967 Arab terrorism which annihilated the Jewish communities of Hebron, Gush Etzion and Gaza and raged in Jerusalem, Tel Aviv and the Galilee during the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s — Arab terrorism aimed at preventing the establishment of an “infidel” Jewish state in the “abode of Islam.” Several Arab armies, and Palestinian terrorists, raided Israel in 1948 and persisted in anti-Jewish terrorism before the 1967 establishment of Jewish settlements in Judea and Samaria.
3. IS THE STRATEGIC GOAL OF MAHMOUD ABBAS TO UPROOT THE JEWISH SETTLEMENTS IN JUDEA AND SAMARIA?
Mahmoud Abbas is the chairman of the Palestinian Liberation Organization, which supersedes and oversees the Palestinian Authority. The PLO was established in 1964, three years before the establishment of Jewish settlements in Judea and Samaria. The 1964 Covenant of the PLO referred only to the pre-1967 area of Israel. The current PLO Covenant targets Judea, Samaria and the pre-1967 area of Israel for “liberation.”
Abbas is, also, the leader of Fatah, which was established in 1959, eight years before the establishment of Jewish settlements in Judea and Samaria. The August 2009 Sixth Convention of Fatah called for the continued struggle “to eradicate the Zionist economic, political, military and cultural existence.” The strategic goal of Abbas is to uproot the Jewish state and not, merely, the Jewish settlements in Judea and Samaria.
4. WOULD THE UPROOTING OF JEWISH SETTLEMENTS ADVANCE PEACEFUL COEXISTENSE?
Peaceful coexistence on the one hand, and the uprooting of Jewish or Arab communities on the other, constitute an oxymoron. The 1.6 million Arabs, among 6 million Jews, within pre-1967 Israel do not constitute an obstacle to peace; nor do the 350,000 Jews, among 1.7 million Arabs in Judea and Samaria. The uprooting of Arab communities in pre-1967 Israel would be as immoral as would be the uprooting of Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria. “Judenrhein areas” contradict peaceful coexistence. In fact, the litmus test of Palestinian/Arab intent is the acceptance or rejection of Jewish settlements in Judea and Samaria.
5. DOES JEWISH CONSTRUCTION IN JUDEA AND SAMARIA PREJUDGE THE OUTCOME OF NEGOTIATION?
Palestinian construction in Judea and Samaria — which is dramatically larger than Jewish construction there — presents facts on the ground, just as Jewish construction does. Western tendency to single out Jewish construction in Judea and Samaria, while ignoring Palestinian construction, prejudges the outcome of negotiations! Opposition to Arab presence in pre-1967 Israel should not be tolerated; so, too, should the opposition to a Jewish presence in Judea and Samaria. Israel’s government razes illegal Jewish homes in Judea and Samaria. Israel should, also, raze the 1,100 illegal Arab homes built annually in Jerusalem and the thousands of illegal Arab homes in Judea and Samaria.
6. ARE JEWISH SETTLEMENTS IN JUDEA AND SAMARIA LEGAL?
Judge Stephen Schwebel, former president of the International Court of Justice, determined that Israel’s presence in Judea and Samaria was rooted in self-defense and therefore did not constitute “occupation.” Eugene Rostow, former dean of Yale Law School, former undersecretary of state and co-author of U.N. Security Council Resolution 242, which sets out the criteria for Israel-Arab peacemaking said U.N. Resolution 242 does not call for withdrawal to the pre-1967 boundaries; Israel’s withdrawal from Sinai amounts to a 90 percent withdrawal from post-1967 areas; the legality of Jewish settlements in Judea and Samaria “cannot be terminated except by a recognized peace between Israel and its neighbors, and perhaps not even then, in view of Article 80 of the U.N. Charter, ‘the Palestine article,’” which upholds the 1922 British Mandate for Palestine. This 1922 international legal instrument considered Judea and Samaria part of the Jewish national homeland: “Jews have the same right to settle [in Judea and Samaria] as they have to settle in Haifa.” The 1993 Oslo Accord does not prohibit the construction of Jewish settlements in Judea and Samaria.
The campaign against Jewish settlements in Judea and Samaria is based on gross misrepresentations. It is not a peace-enhancer; it is an appeasement-enhancer, fueling terrorism and undermining the pursuit of peace.
Eric Hoffer: "The Jews are a peculiar people: Things permitted to other nations are forbidden to the Jews. Other nations drive out thousands, even millions of people, and there is no refugee problem. Russia did it. Poland and Czechoslovakia did it.Turkey threw out a million Greeks and Algeria a million Frenchmen. Indonesia threw out heaven knows how many Chinese--and no one says a word about refugees. But in the case of Israel, the displaced Arabs have become eternal refugees. Everyone insists that Israel must take back every single Arab. Arnold Toynbee calls the displacement of the Arabs an atrocity greater than any committed by the Nazis. Other nations when victorious on the battlefield dictate peace terms. But when Israel is victorious it must sue for peace. Everyone expects the Jews to be the only real Christians in this world."

Don't give up on hope. It will take three years to move the US embassy to Jerusalem. In the meantime, terrorists are calling for three days of rage to oppose the move. This will be in marked contrast to their ordinary terrorism. Jerusalem will never be united until she can reclaim her sewer too. A 29 yo Australian woman recounts how her father 'tricked' her into going to Egypt when she was 13 and marrying her to an old man. Before the wedding, the father is said to have beaten her after she failed the virginity test, but she vehemently claimed she was pure. Her brother had allegedly told her the only reason she lived was because her father, who had beaten her, believed her. What is truly outrageous is that Islamic authorities describe the allegations as being cultural and consistent with Islam, when it brings Islam into disrepute. I thought I had been attacked by a fraudster recently, and Telstra was protecting them, and charging me extra for it. My daily habits include walking to work, or catching public transport. When I leave the house WiFi, I turn on my cell data. I keep up to date on FB and play Pokemon Go. Sometimes I use Messenger. With that routine I use about 1.5 GB of data a month. This has been consistent for the last year. Previously I used less data. Five days into my contract, and I'm warned over about 20 minutes that my data usage has exceeded 3.5 GB, which is 0.5 GB over my plan and a new charge for 1 GB has been added to my account. I go to Telstra in Dandenong to query this. a young woman dressed modestly as a Turkish prostitute greets me at the Tech Bar for Telstra. I briefly outline the issue. She says that FB has taken the data, and Pokemon Go. I point out they never did previous months. She said she could not access my account, but I should call Telstra. I lodged a complaint through the Telstra App, and when I got home, turned off cell data, and chatted through the APP with numerous agencies. They told me nothing, but sold me more data.
I backtracked. In the morning, recently, while trying to transfer video files from my phone to my computer using bluetooth, I've noticed a strange bluetooth device unknown to me. I thought maybe it was tethering to my device and using my data. That is not what happened. In my frustration with Bluetooth not pairing up with my computer, I sent the files to the cloud. My cell phone was frustrated with weak wifi, and waited for me to turn on cell data. Then it uploaded my files to the cloud, blowing my monthly budget. I have now turned off many such 'features' accessing cell data.

IPA Review (Nov 2016) features a James Bolt article “Revolutionary Humour” on Sarah Vowell’s book “Lafayette in the Somewhat United States.” LaFayette, or more precisely Marie-Joseph Paul Yves Roch Gilbert du Motier, Marquis de Lafayette, was 19 years old when he ignored French Government and his family’s commands to not fight in the US revolution. A Marquis is above a Count in rank, LaFayette was a peer of the realm. He had been a French officer in the Musketeers since age 13. His family lineage was notable for bravery and cool headedness in battle. LaFayette wanted to fight for the ideology of freedom and Liberty. But he found that the US had peoples who were fighting each other, more than the British. LaFayette was someone Washington could trust. As the tide turned against the British, it was British infighting that won the day. Afterwards, LaFayette was lauded in his homeland too, turning down the crown.
Some teachers in Australia are organising to wear T-Shirts with the word “Refugee” next week. They are claiming that their presentations and representations to their students will be balanced. Really? The assumption being that students understand “Refugee” applies to economic migrants coming to Australia by people smugglers. Australia had a debt, owing Vietnamese peoples. Vietnamese peoples fought with and died with Australians. Ultimately, Whitlam betrayed Vietnamese peoples, as he also did Timorese, Indonesians and PNG. Australia does not owe economic migrants anything. Economic migrants paying people smugglers are que jumping real refugees who can be left in refugee camps for years, even decades. And economic refugees risk death by drowning to come to Australia. On the other hand, Greens want open borders and are willing for many to die to achieve that. Greens are happy to exploit the world’s poorest and subject them to piracy. Greens call it compassion. Greens feel that normal rules of UN checking bona fides of economic migrants is wrong. The issues are not presented in a balanced way by media or political parties. If you see a teacher wearing such a T-Shirt, ask them if it is really compassionate to subject people to people smugglers and drown them. Ask them if it is ok for the poorest refugees to be denied places by que jumpers who are richer. Ask them to read Watership Down.

The final episodes of the Bolt Report and Insiders aired for the year. Insiders got things totally wrong by not analysing Australia's soft response San Bernardino. They were too keen to laud the backlash against the Liberals in Joe Hockey's former seat. Bolt Report covered all the salient points and more. A subdued Peter Costello refused to accept that Malcolm Turnbull has failed as PM. The two programs are very different. Insiders shows the appalling bias of left wing journalism by being it. The Bolt Report is a balanced current affairs program. Reports are coming in that Malcolm Turnbull has mismanaged the NBN and wants to privatise it. Maybe he should build two and privatise both? And all he need do is get pet food companies to pay the pets of rich people to try their products, and tax them.

Obama matters
Friends of Obama give him too much credit, as Claire Harvey recently gave an example. The late Peter Harvey's daughter claimed Obama deserved credit for Killing Osama, brought healthcare to many more poor people, ended the war in Iraq and Afghanistan, ended discrimination against gays in the military, pivoted US defence towards the Pacific, oversaw a rapid recession recovery and fast reduction of budget deficit and a staggering boom in US gas and oil production. It is worth fact checking these claims. - Killing Osama Bin Ladin. Obama definitely gave the order to kill, not capture, Bin Ladin. Capturing Bin Ladin was potentially much better in terms of addressing jihadism and opposing it worldwide. His knowledge of his network would have been valuable, as would be the image of justice meted out by due process. However, Osama's close connection to Pakistan suggests he knew about Obama's missing years between being a druggie and groomed for office. Probably Obama needed Osama dead more than he needed justice.
- Healthcare to the poor. Just as Gough Whitlam is given many kudos for his short term policies which were unaffordable and later dropped, Obama has made no worthwhile long term change for poor people.
- Ended the war in Iraq and Afghanistan. The ending was planned by President Bush who had, as a lame duck, provided for an extraordinary surge with General Petraeus in charge. Once the surge was successful, troops were drawn down. However, against recommendations, Obama totally withdrew, and now has to start more wars to address his failed foreign policy.
- Ended discrimination against gays in the US military. Technically, the "Don't ask, don't tell" policy had done that. By ending that policy, Obama has reintroduced discrimination on an ongoing basis. Why do fighting men and women need to know the sexual orientation of their fellow soldiers?
- Pivoting US defence towards the Pacific. Not by pulling out of Japan and Korea. But if a single base in Australia is what Claire means then her words were too broad.
- Oversaw a rapid recession recovery and fast reduction of budget deficit. Only borrowing half a trillion dollars last year is only a fast reduction in deficit in terms of Obama's extraordinary borrowing in the past. Under Obama US has borrowed more than all other administrations combined in history. And he isn't yet finished.
- Staggering boom in US gas and oil production. As Blair has pointed out, Obama is on record opposing it, many times.
Australia's federal government
Senator Hanson-Young is outstanding in her grief on discovering children won't be in detention by Christmas. She had held the children hostage for years for political ends. Those children that hadn't drowned. She is the definition of a sociopath. Blair posts video of her speech on the issue. Human Rights Commission complains now that children are being freed by a policy they opposed. ALP hurting universities to hurt Mr Abbott. The need for reform is recognised by all parties concerned, but the ALP are blocking it because they can. They are blaming Mr Abbott for not reforming what they are blocking.
Clive Palmer in bed with Greens but they aren't really getting it on. Palmer has leaked onto the barrier reef, meanwhile uncritical greens have dumped fuel in a protected area. Maybe, if they only eye each other, no one will notice?
Federal Australian Government must save more by cutting spending. Expect Mr Hockey to be criticised for saying that truth. Normally, he would be lauded as a threat to Mr Abbott's leadership, but as that cannot happen while the press are criticising him, they are instead calling for his sacking.

From 2013
A great man, 'Nelson' Mandela died today. He had been a terrorist for much of his life, but he eschewed terrorism and became a statesman. He achieved a transformation that Arafat had failed. But Mandela never relinquished his socialist ideology. He was ungrateful to those who had worked to free him. He leaves behind a nation divided differently to that of his youth, but with the hope of a future that would have been unimaginable during his incarceration. He died old and blessed. He had family and a legacy that inspires hope in the world of overcoming adversity through stoic defiance. He had been a terrorist, but he embraced love.
Mandela was old, and his loss is not as substantial as Steve Biko. But his life is the more powerful testimony. Fred Hollows is highly lauded in Australia by many of the same now applauding Mandela. I once met a man who had died in one of Africa's homicidal orgies of violence. The man, whose broken body had been left with others in the half shell of a burned out church where he had rotted for a week. One arm had withered. But after a week, he awoke, and found God. He toured the world, speaking of his experience, and came to my church in Cabramatta with his testimony. Because I am so fat, he had a picture taken, with me, to show his African friends how Australians might live. He related how he had met Mandela when Mandela had been suffering prostate cancer, and he blessed him in the Lord's name. And Mandela was cured. I remember thinking that the Lord could have done better with a child who could give more. But I was feeling uncharitable. Mandela's life, not his petty feelings, means much to Africans and the world. Mandela's legacy is one of hope and love. Forgiveness and redemption. Who hopes for more, that has not sold themselves short?

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.
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)
