Thu 21st January 2021 Current Affairs

Biden calls for unity while continuing persecution of conservatives. The sound of 81 million claps from a single hand. It is incumbent on over 74 million conservatives to remodel the GOP to serve the purpose of President Donal Trump. Meanwhile declassified documents show DOJ sat on corruption by the Cabal from 2016. Big tech continue their persecution as mislabeled lies are called 'true facts.'

I view it as my job to provide a narrative of events as they unfold. I do not know what tomorrow will bring, but I point to what is right and fair, and denounce the unjust. My disdain for Democrat posturing is rooted in substantial, personal loss. I am an economic conservative, caring little for what inflames the ardour of social conservatives. But I'm sympathetic to social conservatives in their issues. Abortion is something I have little personal interest in. I feel it should be safe, but rare. It is, sometimes a necessary, life saving procedure, but widespread practice as a social alternative to birth control is repugnant. I'm sympathetic to refugees, and feel those who facilitate people smuggling through weak borders deserve a special place in hell. I care for the environment, which is why I feel it is important to liberate carbon dioxide through burning fossil fuels as it is a plant food. I disdain bird killing windmills and exorbitant solar power projects that take money from the world's poorest and gives it to wealthy AGW hucksters. I oppose the ridiculous COVID-19 hysteria which seems to merely facilitate voter fraud to steal the 2020 Presidential election from Trump. I despise racism and racists, including those who would divide America into minorities when her greatness is based on all her peoples. I support police and people who serve the public. I care nothing for the sexual deviancy of others, so long as they don't hurt others or involve children. I support a Jewish Israel and freedoms for all Israeli peoples. I oppose terrorism and note the support given it by Ukraine, North Korea, China and Iran. I stand for free speech and oppose book burners, including those who claim to be conservatives. 

There is less than three days before Biden is inaugurated. With the apparent corruption with which Biden secured the right, I am outraged. Knowing Biden endorses AGW and COVID hysteria, promotes racism, gender dysphoria and terrorism. Biden is unfit for high office. The only PM's position he is fit for is a post mortem. I don't wish terrible things for Biden. I think he deserves justice, or mental health care. Biden is being used by people who want what a Presidency can bestow. The swamp which stole the 2020 Presidential election and senate run offs cannot be allowed to stand if the nation is to be preserved. I call on American peoples to peacefully demand their rights. 

Why is it that there is an impeachment process of Trump that cannot be completed in time before his Presidency ends? Is it because if there is martial law declared, his time would be extended? We will know more in three days. But before we know more, I know Biden is calling for unity, while his lackeys have stolen my life's work on Facebook and threaten other platforms that I, as a writer, have no choice but be involved in. I will not forget that. Fourteen years of daily posting, stolen. I have done no wrong, and am powerless before these hucksters who incite riots and murder people because 'they care'.

'Dark Matter' Challenged — Years After Newsmax Questioned It
By David NabhanWednesday, 20 January 2021

No intellectually honest person accepts an astounding new view of the universe without proof, since that is the basic foundation of all scientific disciplines. However, recently politics, culture and even personality have dispensed with the need for real, unbiased evidence on too many occasions, eroding the sciences such that public confidence in their findings has ebbed dramatically.

The existence of "dark matter," for example, is an excellent case in point. It neither gives off or reflects light and is imperceptible. This purported substance is said to make up a vast bulk of the cosmos but can't be seen, smelled, heard, tasted or felt in any way — other than possessing weight and therefore conveniently used to remedy out of kilter equations having to do with rotational velocities of galaxies.

Science should abhor such conjectures created out of thin air and impossible to verify experimentally while nonetheless posing as truisms; they fly in the face of classical scientific methodology. Yet, concerning fashionable speculations that appeal to academia and the media, if some novel idea pleases politically or socially, great effort is made to dismiss with the decades or more of investigation that traditionally has been the crucible through which every hypothesis must pass and persevere before being granted the status of theory or law.

In that manner dark matter went from a premise to an undisputed fact in the relative blink of an eye. It's listed as such currently in every encyclopedia, including the oldest in existence, the Encyclopedia Britannica, notwithstanding that Vera Rubin, the great astronomer who is the supposed discoverer of dark matter, declared that she had accomplished no such thing.

Dr. Rubin is the researcher who found that the Andromeda galaxy is spinning too quickly; the galaxy itself doesn't have the mass, and therefore the gravity, to hold on to its peripheral stellar systems which should be flying off into space due to their velocity. This problem in celestial mechanics is indeed real, but as to what the answer should be it was not Vera Rubin who decided to toss the scientific method to the side and grasp at the simple yet bizarre option of inventing dark matter out of whole cloth.

The respected astronomer's view was sober, reserved, circumspect and wise: "If I had my pick, I'd like to learn that Newton's laws must be modified in order to correctly describe gravitational interactions at large distance. That's more appealing than a universe filled with a new kind of particle."

Vera Rubin passed away on Christmas Day, 2016, with the world's press ignoring the Gold Medal winner of the Royal Astronomical Society's own words on the matter, and printing instead their version of her seminal work in thousands of obituaries across the globe. Only Newsmax (6-12-2017), and precious few other news fonts, gave the deceased astronomer the dignity of allowing her to speak for herself.

Dr. Rubin is now though in the process of being heard properly. Her words echo in a stunning scientific paper published in 2020 in the esteemed Astrophysical Journal. An international team of astronomers are contending they've discovered indications that an "external field effect" has been found.

Their modified Newtonian dynamics (MOND) is precisely what Dr. Rubin suggested might account for the discrepancy between mass and rotational velocities in galaxies so incomprehensibly distant. In effect, MOND challenges dark matter by theorizing that our understanding of gravity isn't perfect and that the meticulous mathematical rules for measuring it everywhere and absolutely precisely might require slight alterations.

If they're correct that could mean that dark matter may be a fabrication, a colossal scientific blunder to join the epicycles of geocentrism, the ether that was said to permeate space, and the bodily humors that only bleedings could keep in balance. And if they're right science also owes an apology to all of us in general for precipitously abandoning the scientific method and to Vera Rubin in particular for standing by it.

=== From 2018 ===
Don't give up on hope. Four years ago, cartoonists alleged Israel controlled Obama's foreign policy. Four years ago one of the gang of (Muslim) rapists who attacked Sydney was paroled. Significant jail time achieved what schooling had not. There is no record of recidivism. On this day last year, Starbucks, who gave Clinton $98k, and Bank of America, who gave Clinton $466k, had windows of their premises smashed by rioters who wanted Clinton President. In the last year, the DOW gained 31%, the greatest gain since the end of the Great Depression. Obama had been that good. CNN claims MLK was a socialist and an environmentalist. When was the last Socialist or environmentalist noted for calling for freedom? FBI failed to preserve text messages between agents who hated Trump and who worked on Clinton corruption fiasco. Corruption within the FBI seems endemic. 
=== from 2017 ===
More is revealed about the Muslim convert who killed at least four people by driving into a crowd in Bourke St Melbourne. Among the dead is a 10 yo Jewish girl. Her family are among the wounded. Police are saying it is not terrorist related, but depending on the clothing of the dead girl's family, if it was obvious they were Jewish, then it seems impossible the killer is not guilty of a hate crime as well as murder. According to the killer's mother, he had earlier stabbed his younger gay brother in the face. Then he forced his girlfriend into the car, and she left. It was after she left, while he was looking for her, that he ran into the crowd. He had also done burnouts and donuts. Apparently he wanted it to look like a terrorist hit because, as witnesses claim, he was shouting out terrorist slogans. Police are saying it was not a terrorist hit, which means it is unlikely that an organisation tasked him to kill. It becomes what fake news sites call a "Lone Wolf attack." Only it looks more like the dumb activity of an utterly self absorbed druggy. Which doesn't excuse the Islamic community from embracing terrorist theology. Malcolm Turnbull took to dinner many apologists for such drug addled scum. And Dan Andrews is culpable for tying police hands and keeping the killer on the streets. 

Melbourne will be subdued for awhile. But tomorrow is a new day. Because even in tragedy, God is here. Not causing it. Not testing faith. Not making people endure tragedy to better themselves. Some do not see Him. But He has a face and if you look for it, it is obvious. This terrorist type tragedy is wrong. This is not what God wants for you or me. And one day everything, not some things, but everything, will be made right. You might wonder how can that be, when clearly this is messed up and pretty far from being right. But I say look to the Face of God. He is there. And everything will be made right. And He holds the broken, and mends and heals. His works are mighty. He will overcome this evil.

There are lots of excuses for what the killer did. His religion, his drugs, his emotional trauma for knowing his brother was gay. None of the excuses are acceptable. Most people don't behave that way, never will. Most people will feel very provoked in their lives, and none of them will commit an atrocity. This killer should not be in our community. He doesn't fit in. It isn't prudent to put him there. 
=== from 2016 ===
Ridiculous posturing by the ALP opposition has seen hysterical news readers announce that a baby was fed by a woman that wasn't the mother. It was an accident. Human error. No side effects. Unless reminded, it is doubtful the child will ever know. Such accidents predate NSW electing a Liberal Government in 2011, but the ALP forget that. It illustrates the outrageous bias of the press. It should be easy, but it is a challenge to find the statistics which show how many surplus budgets the ALP have produced in 40 years in State or Federal governments. The conservatives have done it many times. Possibly Keating as treasurer before he gave us the recession we had to have. But the prize for bias goes to 72 UK doctors calling for the boycott of Israel medical services. Breathtaking in its' audacity, Israel is the first nation to provide medical services anywhere in the world in emergencies. Maybe the refusal of Israeli medicos to be stabbed by terrorists is upsetting the 72 UK doctors (are they virgins?)? 

For some, at the moment, the Sex Party has more credibility 
=== from 2015 ===
Many congratulations to Timothy Ly on the upcoming ABC comedy drama series Maximum Choppage. He was eighteen years old when, over a decade ago, he made a short film locally, and then a motion picture length film on no budget engaging the local community. Australia has culturally diverse talent, but a monocultural ABC focused entirely on some minorities have prevented such drama reaching our screens. So that the absurd situation has arisen whereby girls from any of many diverse ethnicities don't see role models in potential mates of their own ethnicity, only white. That goes against the ABC charter. There were many hurdles that Tim needed to complete before he could get the ABC to back this. And he has done so. It is now paid, but a team effort where creative control has been surrendered .. but hopefully the lead has been followed. An interesting backstory to Tim, who has devoted his adult life to movies and production, his family are Chinese Cambodian who fled the killing fields. Before then, his dad had used to spend his spare time going to the local movie theatres. The apple does not fall far from the tree. 

On this day in 1931, the first Australian Governor General who was Australian born was sworn in. Sir Isaac Isaacs was also Jewish. Much is made of Isaac's anti Zionist position. He did not favour Israel. However, it is telling as to why he didn't favour Israel. Because he didn't consider Israel would become the great modern state she now is. He didn't see her democracy. He didn't know how great and trustworthy his people are, although he clearly loved them. Isaacs was under the misapprehension the Balfour agreement meant that Jews would be as Palestinians are now .. monocultural, xenophobic, driven to survive through lowest common denominator politics like terrorism. Isaacs trusted Great Britain to be an umbrella she had failed to be. It wasn't his fault, or a character flaw, The King had treated Jews badly in a way that could not be anticipated. But as Governor General, and as a Jewish man, Isaacs was a leader. A good leader. Australians should be proud. 

Sometimes people ask for more government. NYC aldermen gave more government to the city of New York by banning women from smoking in public places on this day in 1908. The Mayor, who clearly wanted to be reelected, blocked the measure. 
From 2014
It is close to Martin Luther King Day in the US, celebrated Jan 20th in 2014. He was born Jan 15th, 1929. He lived by his words and died because of them. So to celebrate, I will highlight my opposition to racist bigots collecting under the banner of the Australian Defence League and the Australian Tea Party. I have been schooled by some to note not every member of ADL is a racist bigot. I do not know who individual members are, and so do not know who the exceptions are. But I will outline what I know.

The ADL is not unique. It is right wing reactionary and not conservative, but tends to social conservatism on some issues. It is named after counterpart organisations in UK (EDL) and US (ADL) and North Ireland (UDL) and maintains loose friendships with them, including hosting senior members. The ADL in Australia is often connected with sympathetic members of the armed forces and people who would like to be. There is nothing wrong with military types being involved in civil organisations, that is a healthy thing. However, it is preferable if those organisations are cultural assets, like RSL, Lions, Apex, Masons, electoral commission .. but a survey of EDL publications shows that there is more invested in race relations, equivalent to KKK. 

EDL is well known for drunken gatherings that turn violent. It was founded by members of the British far right nationalists calling themselves neo Nazis. Far more benign is the US Tea Party, which is not affiliated with the Australian Tea Party. ADL leader (Australian) began the Australian Tea Party in the hopes of tapping into the US political donation cycle. 

There is something politically naive and stupid in the stance taken by the ADL on public issues. They are for protectionism economically. They connect themselves with loopy left wingers who suspect government administration. They try to unite Islamo Fascist terrorists with Islamic peoples who are preyed on by the terrorists. They support failed political movements at the expense of conservatives like the LNP. They hate the ALP and Greens when they would be wiser to oppose their policy. 

ADL may take exception to what I have written about them, but it is criticism they might learn from and benefit from. Feel free to find exceptions to what I have written and treasure them.

View today's reading on Bible Gateway

Today's Old Testament reading: Genesis 49-50

Jacob Blesses His Sons
1 Then Jacob called for his sons and said: "Gather around so I can tell you what will happen to you in days to come.
2 "Assemble and listen, sons of Jacob;
listen to your father Israel.
3 "Reuben, you are my firstborn,
my might, the first sign of my strength,
excelling in honor, excelling in power.
4 Turbulent as the waters, you will no longer excel,
for you went up onto your father's bed,
onto my couch and defiled it.

5 "Simeon and Levi are brothers--
their swords are weapons of violence....

Today's New Testament reading: Matthew 13:31-58

The Parables of the Mustard Seed and the Yeast
31 He told them another parable: "The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his field.32 Though it is the smallest of all seeds, yet when it grows, it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds come and perch in its branches."
33 He told them still another parable: "The kingdom of heaven is like yeast that a woman took and mixed into about sixty pounds of flour until it worked all through the dough."
34 Jesus spoke all these things to the crowd in parables; he did not say anything to them without using a parable. 35 So was fulfilled what was spoken through the prophet:
"I will open my mouth in parables,
I will utter things hidden since the creation of the world...."

January 20: Morning
"Abel was a keeper of sheep." - Genesis 4:2
As a shepherd Abel sanctified his work to the glory of God, and offered a sacrifice of blood upon his altar, and the Lord had respect unto Abel and his offering. This early type of our Lord is exceedingly clear and distinct. Like the first streak of light which tinges the east at sunrise, it does not reveal everything, but it clearly manifests the great fact that the sun is coming. As we see Abel, a shepherd and yet a priest, offering a sacrifice of sweet smell unto God, we discern our Lord, who brings before his Father a sacrifice to which Jehovah ever hath respect. Abel was hated by his brother--hated without a cause; and even so was the Saviour: the natural and carnal man hated the accepted man in whom the Spirit of grace was found, and rested not until his blood had been shed. Abel fell, and sprinkled his altar and sacrifice with his own blood, and therein sets forth the Lord Jesus slain by the enmity of man while serving as a priest before the Lord. "The good Shepherd layeth down his life for the sheep." Let us weep over him as we view him slain by the hatred of mankind, staining the horns of his altar with his own blood. Abel's blood speaketh. "The Lord said unto Cain, The voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground.'" The blood of Jesus hath a mighty tongue, and the import of its prevailing cry is not vengeance but mercy. It is precious beyond all preciousness to stand at the altar of our good Shepherd! to see him bleeding there as the slaughtered priest, and then to hear his blood speaking peace to all his flock, peace in our conscience, peace between Jew and Gentile, peace between man and his offended Maker, peace all down the ages of eternity for blood-washed men. Abel is the first shepherd in order of time, but our hearts shall ever place Jesus first in order of excellence. Thou great Keeper of the sheep, we the people of thy pasture bless thee with our whole hearts when we see thee slain for us.
Evening
"Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity; and quicken thou me in thy way." - Psalm 119:37
There are divers kinds of vanity. The cap and bells of the fool, the mirth of the world, the dance, the lyre, and the cup of the dissolute, all these men know to be vanities; they wear upon their forefront their proper name and title. Far more treacherous are those equally vain things, the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches. A man may follow vanity as truly in the counting-house as in the theatre. If he be spending his life in amassing wealth, he passes his days in a vain show. Unless we follow Christ, and make our God the great object of life, we only differ in appearance from the most frivolous. It is clear that there is much need of the first prayer of our text. "Quicken thou me in thy way." The Psalmist confesses that he is dull, heavy, lumpy, all but dead. Perhaps, dear reader, you feel the same. We are so sluggish that the best motives cannot quicken us, apart from the Lord himself. What! will not hell quicken me? Shall I think of sinners perishing, and yet not be awakened? Will not heaven quicken me? Can I think of the reward that awaiteth the righteous, and yet be cold? Will not death quicken me? Can I think of dying, and standing before my God, and yet be slothful in my Master's service? Will not Christ's love constrain me? Can I think of his dear wounds, can I sit at the foot of his cross, and not be stirred with fervency and zeal? It seems so! No mere consideration can quicken us to zeal, but God himself must do it, hence the cry, "Quicken thou me." The Psalmist breathes out his whole soul in vehement pleadings: his body and his soul unite in prayer. "Turn away mine eyes," says the body: "Quicken thou me," cries the soul. This is a fit prayer for every day. O Lord, hear it in my case this night.

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)
