ASIO goes to ABC to obtain stolen intelligence. Intelligence had been obtained from old filing cabinets deemed surplus. ALP QLD return $2k to Adani mines from donation. What about the $Billions they have taken from QLD from failing to insure against disaster, for bad decision making costing lives? For lumbering children with debt? Bill Shorten promises to launch an anti corruption body. Scientists not sure if toothless tigers can be bred in captivity.
Wonderful to see an aggressive and assertive Trump administration unafraid of making good calls. Trump has fired two people today who refused to do their jobs. One was an Obama appointment who refused to implement the law regarding immigration. Banning several nations is not the same as banning all of a religion like Islam. There are many Islamic nations whose people are welcome to visit the US. But they aren't the ones who have been banned for supporting or endorsing terror. In Australia, one prominent ALP politician known for corruption has claimed he cannot now go to the US as he is banned. But that was because of his ethnicity (Iranian) and not his nationality (Anyone in Australia's federal parliament is not allowed dual citizenship). So either the corrupt member is banned from the US and illegally holding a seat, or they have lied to the press to attack Trump. Bill Shorten, ALP leader has attacked the PM, Turnbull for not criticising Trump in this instance. Turnbull is capable of not making bad choices all the time. But he is also capable of bad choices often. Trump is dumping bad policy regarding Anthropogenic Global Warning hysteria. Turnbull is not. Still no reason to shoot up a mosque.

At half time in the Asian Cup final Australia leads 1-0 over South Korea. The goal went against the run of play with South Korea unfortunate not to have scored three, while Tim Cahill for Australia narrowly missed one. Whomever wins, soccer will be the winner, and history will be made. Soccer in Korea has ancient history, with a similar game, chuk-guk, being played before Europeans showed their ball skills. Still, South Korea has not won it since 1956. After 90 minutes, South Korea evened the scores, and an exhausted Australia faced extra time. Australia went 2-1 about twenty minutes into extra time.
A 20 yo woman has breast enlargement surgery. She has a cardiac arrest early in the surgery, but the surgeon proceeded after to do both breasts, not solely one. Patient is satisfied with outcome. Question needs to be asked who someone so young was having the augmentation surgery for cosmetic reasons? She would not have finished developing yet.
Not many are Charlie Hebdo now, with a German carnival dropping plans for a float featuring a cartoonist pushing pen into the barrel of a gun. Apparently the image was deemed too provocative to jihadists who continue to bring Islam into disrepute.

On this day in 1606, Guy Fawkes was executed for the gunpowder plot. In 1747, the world's first venereal disease clinic at London Lock Hospital opened. Treatment could involve injecting mercury through the urethra. In 1848, John C Fremont was courtmartialed for mutiny and disobeying orders. He was the original GOP leader to oppose slavery and, in losing the 1856 election, the Democrats supported by Know Nothings, with President James Buchanan, careered towards civil war. In 1865, US congress passed the Thirteenth Amendment abolishing slavery. In 1915, Germany became the first to use poison gas. They used it against Russia at the Battle of Bolimów. In 1930, 3M began manufacturing scotch tape. In 1950, the only President to have dropped an atom bomb on a civilian population twice, Democrat Harry S Truman, commissioned research for a hydrogen bomb. In 1958, the first successful launch of a satellite by the US coincided with James Van Allen discovering the Van Allen Belt of radiation which Earth has. In 2001, a Scottish court in the Netherlands convicted a Libyan bomber of the Lockerbie terror hit. In 2003, the Waterfall rail disaster continued an ALP NSW government tradition of deaths on trains (CF Granville and Berala rail tragedies).
The US army in WW2 was different to what it is today. Today it is a volunteer force. In WW2, there was conscription. Eddie Slovik. Eddie (born 1920) was from a Polish American family in Detroit. From age 12, he had been involved with petty theft, break and enter and disturbing the peace. He was paroled in '38 after crashing a car with two friends while drunk. He was jailed in '39. Paroled in '42, he became a book keeper for a plumber and married. Because of his convictions, he was unfit for duty, but soon after the first anniversary of his wedding, he was ruled fit. He was drafted. Trained until January '44 and sent to France in August '44.
Wikipedia reports
The court martial found Eddie guilty of desertion and he was given the death penalty. He appealed, and his appeal was heard by Eisenhower, who declined to commute the sentence. On this day, in 1945, Eddie was executed by firing squad. Nobody could be excused from fighting, but the death penalty is normally reserved for crimes like rape, murder or desertion under fire. Eddie had not done any of those things. It is unlikely President Truman cared. Within months of the sentence being carried out, fighting stopped.Canadian military police unit and remained with them for the next six weeks. Tankey wrote to their regiment to explain their absence before he and Slovik reported to their unit for duty on October 7, 1944. The US Army's rapid advance through France had caused many replacement soldiers to have trouble finding their assigned units, and so no charges were filed against Slovik or Tankey.The following day on October 8, Slovik informed his company commander, Captain Ralph Grotte, that he was "too scared" to serve in a front-line rifle company and asked to be reassigned to a rear area unit. He told Grotte that he would run away if he were assigned to a rifle unit, and asked his captain if that would constitute desertion. Grotte confirmed that it would. He refused Slovik's request for reassignment and sent him to a rifle platoon.[8]The next day, October 9, Slovik deserted from his infantry unit. His friend, John Tankey, caught up with him and attempted to persuade him to stay, but Slovik's only comment was that his "mind was made up". Slovik walked several miles to the rear and approached an enlisted cook at a headquarters detachment, presenting him with a note which stated:I, Pvt. Eddie D. Slovik, 36896415, confess to the desertion of the United States Army. At the time of my desertion we were in Albuff [Elbeuf] in France. I came to Albuff as a replacement. They were shelling the town and we were told to dig in for the night. The following morning they were shelling us again. I was so scared, nerves and trembling, that at the time the other replacements moved out, I couldn’t move. I stayed there in my fox hole till it was quiet and I was able to move. I then walked into town. Not seeing any of our troops, so I stayed over night at a French hospital. The next morning I turned myself over to the Canadian Provost Corp. After being with them six weeks I was turned over to American M.R. They turned me loose. I told my commanding officer my story. I said that if I had to go out there again I'd run away. He said there was nothing he could do for me so I ran away again AND I'LL RUN AWAY AGAIN IF I HAVE TO GO OUT THERE.—Signed Pvt. Eddie D. Slovik A.S.N. 36896415[4]The cook summoned his company commander and an MP, who read the note and urged Slovik to destroy it before he was taken into custody, which Slovik refused. He was brought beforeLieutenant Colonel Ross Henbest, who again offered him the opportunity to tear up the note, return to his unit, and face no further charges. After Slovik again refused, Henbest ordered Slovik to write another note on the back of the first one stating that he fully understood the legal consequences of deliberately incriminating himself with the note and that it would be used as evidence against him in a court martial.Slovik was taken into custody and confined to the division stockade. The divisional judge advocate, Lieutenant Colonel Henry Sommer, again offered Slovik an opportunity to rejoin his unit and have the charges against him suspended. He offered to transfer Slovik to a different infantry regiment where no one would know of his past and he could start with a "clean slate". Slovik, convinced that he would face only jail time, which he had experienced and found preferable to combat, declined these offers, saying, "I've made up my mind. I'll take my court martial.">
Eddie merely wanted to live, but was still willing to serve. In contrast, Knox merely wants to get away with murder. Knox does not face a death penalty. There is no doubt about Tsarnaev's terrorist activity, only his justification of which there is no excuse. People have died from the activity of the ABC and ALP, that should not be excused.

Only be sure you have the sail up. Do not miss the gale for want of preparation for it. Seek help of God, that you may be more earnest in duty when made more strong in faith; that you may be more constant in prayer when you have more liberty at the throne; that you may be more holy in your conversation whilst you live more closely with Christ.

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)
