Sat 16th January 2021 Current Affairs

A clear message has been sent by every congressional Democrat and 10 RINO in voting to impeach President Trump over the Capitol Hill riot. It shows corruption runs deep in Washington. It shows an abuse of power that no democracy can tolerate. Trump has been impeached twice. Once over the Russia hoax, and now over a riot the Cabal orchestrated. In neither instance had Trump done anything wrong. However, at each instance, Democrat leadership has lied about the accusation. And those who stood for facts were sidelined. The DOJ and SCOTUS are sidelined by the abuse of power, and apparently endorse it. 

When the Russia hoax impeachment vote proceeded, Senior Dem claimed there was evidence that the public was unaware. We now know that the substance of it was a fabricated dossier created by HRC and passed to the head of the CIA (at the time) who passed it to DOJ without processing it through CIA assets. Not only were the documents faked, but they had been so badly faked they did not withstand scrutiny. And FBI chiefs colluded to investigate Trump and obstruct the administration, falsely charging some people they then had sent to prison. Now, we have endorsed tech giants suppressing evidence of how they (FB, Twitter, Youtube) allowed the first sixteen captured rioters on the Capitol to organise the riot, and blame Parler which had not been involved at all. Worse, Dem and RINO have colluded to give big tech a license to act as law enforcement in pursuing companies and individuals they know were not involved with the riot, and blame them for it. And punish them. And DOJ and SCOTUS apparently endorse it. But, if the non RINO GOP campaign diligently for two years, then  if they exceed the 74 million voter support they received today. Will #VoteFraud prevent them rectifying the abuse of power? 

In the mean time, what will the Dem do with their powers? Gift Iran nuclear power? Destroy Israel? Abuse children with fake history and gender dysphoria? Penalise conservatives? Defund the military and police? Were they to embrace communism or socialism, how would it be different to what they do today? Were they to embrace fascism, would it be different to what they do now? If Jimmy Carter were alive today, and not some addled parody of Joe Biden, would he endorse it? (NB, Jimmy Carter is still alive, sort of, as this article is written, but aged).

The persecution of General James Cartwright (circa 2012) is salient to the issue of Big Tech preemptively attacking conservatives. General Cartwright had been Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff when a NYT journalist, wrote a book, Confront and Conceal, to which Cartwright was accused of leaking. The leak damaged US Israeli relations while providing for Iran to build a nuclear bomb. Only, as Caroline Glick was to write in 2017, it was not Cartwright who had leaked, but Obama. Obama pardoned Cartwright in 2017. The pardoning meant a deal would never be done with the Department of Justice allowing critical examination of the abuse of power. It illustrates the utter contempt Democrats have for natural justice and the US military. And the lengths the Cabal will go to to tie up loose ends. Loose ends like conservatives reporting on the 2020 election fraud and the Democrat Coup seizing the US Presidency and both houses of Congress. 

The Cabal have gone after Parler, after President Trump was forced off Twitter. However, lawfare has been engaged and Parler is being denied a contract service to even operate. It is like when lawyers were engaged to represent Americans victim to #ElectionFraud2020 and those lawyers had their credentials attacked before they could fulfil their functions. The Cabal prevented a free and fair hearing in any court or legislature, or even online. The enemies of freedom, called the Swamp, are overwhelming. But, the Swamp is directionless without an enemy. The Swamp has to exercise power or lose it. Who is next? Who will the swamp label as a rioter? Independent journalists?

The useful idiot that is RINO Romney is wrong about the mother of our child, USA. She is not virginal. When the patriot Ashli Babbitt was killed during a largely peaceful demonstration at the Capitol, she was not killed because President Trump incited violence or lied about election fraud. She was there because she was standing up for an opportunity the founding fathers promised was her free right. And she was killed because a Cabal has stolen the 2020 election and Georgia senate run offs and that Cabal desperately needs to protect itself. And by killing her, the Cabal has prevented President Trump from presenting his case before the legislature, as he had been allowed by constitution. Biden is now President Elect. But Biden did not get the votes he claims, and will not have the support such a turnout would endow. 

The awful situation of President Elect Biden for USA, with senate in tow, cannot be understated. Just as with 911, terrorists around the world are cheering. It is trite to say there will be no justice, as there has been none. When Biden ok'd Ukraine's sting of Russia, and a Malaysian airline was shot down, the perpetrators remained free while victims died. Innocent victims. USA will endure what she must. But, it will hurt her. President Trump may be around in 2024 to pick up the pieces again. But he may not, too. Somebody will stand up for free USA again, one day. But their task will be more daunting than that faced by Trump, who with over 74 million votes, lost to fraud. The Cabal will govern through dictation. It is true to say, as they claim, they are neither man nor woman. The deep state is not forgiving. The cold hand of bureaucracy is wet with blood and the tech tyrants will have their way until they are not useful. 

I am hurt, having lost Facebook and Twitter and faced with more. My legacy is in the hands of Google, Youtube and Amazon too. My love for America is challenged by her betrayal. And I'm reminded to note some monolog from Bridgerton's Daphne. 

"I know why you made that vow to your father"

"Just because something is not perfect does not make it any less worthy of love"

"Your father made you believe otherwise"

“He made you believe that you needed to be without fault in order to be loved, but he was wrong.” 

"Should you need any proof of the matter then look just here"

"I am tired of pretending. And I cannot continue acting as if I do not love you."

"Because I do. I love all of you."

"Even the parts you believe are too dark and too shameful"

"Every scar. Every flaw. Every imperfection."

"I love you."

"You may think you are too damaged and too broken to ever allow yourself to be happy"

"You can choose differently"

“You can choose to love me as much as I love you”

"That should not be up to anyone else. "

"That cannot be up to anyone else"

"It can only be up to you"

America, what happens now, is up to you. Do not be violent, but purposeful. Do not succumb to the Cabal, die on your feet, not your knees. We are mortal and do not have eternal life. Let God bestow it on you, instead.

Don't give up on hope. Good Reads will soon feature my books and I'm hoping to enlist them in free book programs. The school holidays are a busy time for me as I move to nail down the rest of my Bread of Life series. I'm way behind on my video updates, because of awful internet through Telstra, but by April I will have completed a full year of videos, meaning my books will have been read online for editorials. I will then release an editorial omnibus. Also, holidays are a time to binge watch tv programs. I have recently watched White Queen, White Princess and Borgia series. All three had great production values, but suffered from deficient writing and direction. Borgia series finished in season three, with Pope Alexander alive and his children engaged in incest. I learned a lot about the history of the times of all three series, but was really disappointed too. 

Borgia, being based on material leading to Machiavelli's The Prince, could have been as seminal as the Godfather. But the writers and directors went to cheap thrills rather than nuanced interpretation. So it portrays Cesare and Lucretia as being lovers and everyone knows, as opposed to being close and everyone suspects. Cesare's faithful companion Micheletto is gay, but not with Cesare. Rodrigo Borgia has an enemy in future Pope Julius, but one does not understand the reason for the antipathy, except through a Spanish Italian demarcation. The storylines regarding Greek Fire in naval battle, and understanding of Christian theology were awful. Lucretia turning to witchcraft to explain her poison knowledge and Rodrigo and Cesare expressing atheism jarred. It seemed more like Assassins Creed than historical faction.

Journalists are not biased. Most journalists have no pretence of balance and are actively partisan in politics. This is of concern because Democracy relies on freedom of the press, and a partisan press is not free. Many journalists are highly remunerated and have good reason to hold their paid opinions. There is a political cycle. In Australia, when the political cycle favours conservatives, the partisan mantra is that no politician is worthy of a vote, and so people should vote for the left. When the left are ascendant, the press are quick to downplay issues, like immigration procedural unfairness, biased judges, unionised corruption, expenses scandals, and so on. Yet just because the press is partisan does not mean that people are not corrupt. ALA correctly called out a fake news journalist who hit them over their issue with Islam. Except the fake news journalist was mainstream. And they do take the issue to extremes. By focusing on wider Islam, ALA make the mistake of excusing horrendous acts of extremist scum. For example the "Halal Tax" where money has been paid to Islamic organisations by mainstream companies labelling their foods Halal. An investigation has found that the money in Australia does not fund terrorism. ALA is adamant it does. Only their argument is the same as the claim that the Catholic Church funds pedophilia. They have no way of addressing what they perceive as being the problem. And they won't discuss it. I disagree wth Pauline Hanson on a number of issues, and agree with her on some. I don't wish to overstate my disagreement. Meanwhile, the corrupt press really are out to get her. And the ALA. It isn't that press incompetence means one can just oppose the press line to see what is right. In fact, the press line is merely uninformative smoke.

Islamic terrorism in Africa is a problem with soft Democrat foreign policy. Idi Amin did terrible things under Carter. Bill Clinton watched a million slaughtered in Rwanda (note, not Islam inspired, but communist inspired) and later (1998) did little in response to US embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania. Obama is notable for his powerlessness as terrorists strike in Africa. A few years ago, Obama begged to hit Syria. Russia and China said 'no' in the UN.  Benghazi was not disputed. Small nations do not respond well to weakness. It confuses them. Iran and North Korea have been particularly belligerent under Obama as POTUS. For world peace, one hopes a good GOP person is elected POTUS. 

For some, at the moment, the Sex Party has more credibility.

The best known Australian in the world is an ethnically Vietnamese girl, Natalie Tran, or Community Channel. She is humorous, self deprecating and talented. She makes social observations and now, after many years, she has taken a stand on an issue that is utterly reasonable, but she is being torn apart for. She said it was ridiculous for religious people to tie young girls with bombs to blow up others. So as to not point the finger at any one religion, she stated she wasn't a fan of any of them. She is an atheist. Not in the Dawkins mould where anyone who is not atheist is a fantasist by definition, Tran has made the personal choice not to believe in God. One might disagree with that view, but her right to have it is absolute. It is an informed point of view, with many corrupt (so called) Christians contributing to it, from the KKK and IRA, through the hating Westboro Baptist, Gosford Anglican or Tim Costello or Fred Nile. Tran has examples of stupid and compromised people who speak out on issues they don't understand. With free speech, one might listen to Tran and present a different front to her showing that religion is not as she knows it, and that God is real. Instead, some ridiculously outraged 'fans' have abused her. Free speech is not mere abuse. 

On this day in 27 BC Octavian took on the title Augustus, which is Latin for Majestic. It is connected with the word Augury and some said that Rome was founded after Romulus' august augury. The day marks the beginning of imperial Rome and the passing of the republic. Many believed the republic did not truly pass. Many died believing that. Some things are known of the Maya, although much was destroyed of there culture by conquistadors and the passing of time. In 378, General Siyaj K'ak' conquered land in what is now Guatemala. During this time he highly influenced Maya with culture from Mexico, but it is not known precisely how that influence was made. In 1412, the Medici family were made official bankers of the Papacy. In 1492, the first grammar for Spanish was presented to the Spanish Queen Isabella I .. and in 1605, the first edition of book one of Don Quixote by Cervantes was published in Madrid. In 1707, the Scottish parliament passed legislation allowing the creation of Great Britain. 

In 1862, the Hartley Colliery mining disaster resulted in legislation changes to make mines safer. The US modernised her civil service in 1883. In 1919, the US ratified the prohibition 18th amendment. In 1939, sensing an opportunity to promote Hitler, the IRA began a campaign of bombing and sabotaging in England. In 1942, Actress Carol Lombard died when TWA flight 3 crashed, killing all 22 on board. Fantasist Orson Welles was to claim it had been shot down by Germans, but it had failed from navigational error flying from Las Vegas to California over an inconvenient mountain range. In 1945, Hitler went to his bunker. In 1956, Egyptian President Nasser, armed with a Nazis developed military, threatened to take so called Palestine. In 1969 a Czech student burned himself alive to protest the Soviet Union occupation. On the same day, the Soviet Union performed the first of transferring crew via spacewalk between craft. In 1991, the first Gulf War began. In 2003, Space Shuttle Columbia took off on her final journey. No one could have helped the damaged craft, and she burned up on re entry.

New Zealand is beautiful. I cannot thank her enough for snowing in summer. Sydney hasn't done that for me recently. Meteorologists called some white stuff falling in Turramurra a decade ago "Soft Hail" which is apparently warmer than snow .. We need a Poley Dancer .. a dancer for money .. heat waves in Australia could be made a thing of the past with a Bradfield scheme .. Still, there is a blast of cold coming from highly paid climate scientists claiming the world is warming.

A shot is heard around the world. Rumour has it that an unidentified police source that might be from Indonesia thinks an Australian defence person has discharged a weapon without hitting their target. Further evidence, were it needed, that training has suffered under the ALP in the armed services. Become a climate champion. Change your lights to plasma TVs. Keep the oven hot. If a light is out, replace that TV set. Burn a candle or ten for Maurice Newman.

Today's reading: Genesis 36-38, Matthew 10:21-42 (NIV)

View today's reading on Bible Gateway

Today's Old Testament reading: Genesis 36-38

Esau's Descendants
This is the account of the family line of Esau (that is, Edom).
2 Esau took his wives from the women of Canaan: Adah daughter of Elon the Hittite, and Oholibamah daughter of Anah and granddaughter of Zibeon the Hivite-- 3 also Basemath daughter of Ishmael and sister of Nebaioth.
4 Adah bore Eliphaz to Esau, Basemath bore Reuel, 5 and Oholibamah bore Jeush, Jalam and Korah. These were the sons of Esau, who were born to him in Canaan.
6 Esau took his wives and sons and daughters and all the members of his household, as well as his livestock and all his other animals and all the goods he had acquired in Canaan, and moved to a land some distance from his brother Jacob. 7 Their possessions were too great for them to remain together; the land where they were staying could not support them both because of their livestock. 8 So Esau (that is, Edom) settled in the hill country of Seir.

Today's New Testament reading: Matthew 10:21-42

21 "Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; children will rebel against their parents and have them put to death. 22You will be hated by everyone because of me, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved. 23 When you are persecuted in one place, flee to another. Truly I tell you, you will not finish going through the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes.
24 "The student is not above the teacher, nor a servant above his master. 25 It is enough for students to be like their teachers, and servants like their masters. If the head of the house has been called Beelzebul, how much more the members of his household!

January 15: Morning
"Do as thou hast said." - 2 Samuel 7:25
God's promises were never meant to be thrown aside as waste paper; he intended that they should be used. God's gold is not miser's money, but is minted to be traded with. Nothing pleases our Lord better than to see his promises put in circulation; he loves to see his children bring them up to him, and say, "Lord, do as thou hast said." We glorify God when we plead his promises. Do you think that God will be any the poorer for giving you the riches he has promised? Do you dream that he will be any the less holy for giving holiness to you? Do you imagine he will be any the less pure for washing you from your sins? He has said "Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool." Faith lays hold upon the promise of pardon, and it does not delay, saying, "This is a precious promise, I wonder if it be true?" but it goes straight to the throne with it, and pleads, "Lord, here is the promise, Do as thou hast said.'" Our Lord replies, "Be it unto thee even as thou wilt." When a Christian grasps a promise, if he does not take it to God, he dishonours him; but when he hastens to the throne of grace, and cries, "Lord, I have nothing to recommend me but this, Thou hast said it;'" then his desire shall be granted. Our heavenly Banker delights to cash his own notes. Never let the promise rust. Draw the sword of promise out of its scabbard, and use it with holy violence. Think not that God will be troubled by your importunately reminding him of his promises. He loves to hear the loud outcries of needy souls. It is his delight to bestow favours. He is more ready to hear than you are to ask. The sun is not weary of shining, nor the fountain of flowing. It is God's nature to keep his promises; therefore go at once to the throne with "Do as thou hast said."
Evening
"But I give myself unto prayer." - Psalm 109:4
Lying tongues were busy against the reputation of David, but he did not defend himself; he moved the case into a higher court, and pleaded before the great King himself. Prayer is the safest method of replying to words of hatred. The Psalmist prayed in no cold-hearted manner, he gave himself to the exercise--threw his whole soul and heart into it--straining every sinew and muscle, as Jacob did when wrestling with the angel. Thus, and thus only, shall any of us speed at the throne of grace. As a shadow has no power because there is no substance in it, even so that supplication, in which a man's proper self is not thoroughly present in agonizing earnestness and vehement desire, is utterly ineffectual, for it lacks that which would give it force. "Fervent prayer," says an old divine, "like a cannon planted at the gates of heaven, makes them fly open." The common fault with the most of us is our readiness to yield to distractions. Our thoughts go roving hither and thither, and we make little progress towards our desired end. Like quicksilver our mind will not hold together, but rolls off this way and that. How great an evil this is! It injures us, and what is worse, it insults our God. What should we think of a petitioner, if, while having an audience with a prince, he should be playing with a feather or catching a fly?

Continuance and perseverance are intended in the expression of our text. David did not cry once, and then relapse into silence; his holy clamour was continued till it brought down the blessing. Prayer must not be our chance work, but our daily business, our habit and vocation. As artists give themselves to their models, and poets to their classical pursuits, so must we addict ourselves to prayer. We must be immersed in prayer as in our element, and so pray without ceasing. Lord, teach us so to pray that we may be more and more prevalent in supplication.

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)

Editorials will appear in the "History in a Year by the Conservative Voice" series, starting with August, September, October, or at Amazon http://www.amazon.com/dp/1482020262/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_dVHPub0MQKDZ4 The kindle version is cheaper, but the soft back version allows a free kindle version.
