Further to the Pope Francis question posted the other day, I ask, who was Phil Haney and why is he dead? Haney was critical of aspects of Pope Francis' spearheading an Abrahamic Faith initiative. As with much touched by the Pope and other globalists, the worthy concept is a shell for distracting the Muslim Brotherhoods terrorist activity from exposure as domestic terrorism from BLM gets called conservative terrorism as a red herring. Why is the Pope going to bat for terrorists? Haney questions the inclusion of terrorist faith as representative of Islamic faith. It had been a mistake of the Obama administration which Haney had resigned from DHS over such issues. But a week after Haney tells a colleague to keep digging, he is thought to have suicided. Yet Haney was near completing a book and risk averse, avoiding flying because he felt it was dangerous. Yet the FBI treated the death as if Hunter had pulled the trigger.

How does one celebrate Redemption?
Not me, mind you, I’m asking for a friend. My friend has really missed out on life. Very early in their professional career they witnessed a bungled pedophile investigation that went sideways, resulting in the negligence death of a public school boy, covered up by a coroner keen to protect a political party they were beholden to. Coroner blamed the parents and shafted a whistleblower witness. The whistleblower was fat and lost their public service job and had no recourse but move state where they were still unemployable. Nearly thirty years have passed, their life is nearing an end and they have nothing to show for it, except the depraved indifference of bureaucrats which left wing loonies are keen to imbue with more power.
However, my friend is thankful for God in his life. Sure he has no actual family who’d stand by him. His friends are terrified he is too needy and might ask for help. Big tech companies boot him about because they don’t like his politics supporting economic conservatism and MAGA Trump ideals. So he is booted off FB and Messenger for life, and cannot access decade old emails, photographs, videos or memories he made online. He cannot connect with apps which allow him to connect via FB. And FB sends him messages suggesting he join up, but they won’t accept him.
It is a Wonderful life, made by Frank Capra in 1946 and is relevant today. Because it illustrates redemption. But, what is redemption for my friend? When McConnell can diss everything my friend has stood for, and spits on him, as he claims another six more years of a snout in the trough lifestyle while a stand up guy is beaten up. How does one celebrate redemption?

Don't give up on hope. Some say that Turnbull is not behind the lynching of Joyce. They say that because too many other actors are involved in it. But that is because Turnbull has no actual control of the forces he unleashed. Turnbull's levers of power involve favouring the Clinton Foundation among others. The Clinton Foundation has a strong presence in ALP, Green and Media circles. The reason why Turnbull falls on the wrong side of many issues is because although Turnbull has paid the Clinton Foundation with Australian money, they own him. Turnbull agrees to an awful people swap deal with Obama because he has no choice. Turnbull is an AGW alarmist because he must be. Turnbull rejects free speech because it is counter to Clinton Foundation interests. And Turnbull won't let go of power because the house of cards will collapse if he does. Turnbull is at odds with Joyce because Joyce was an effective minister and made a powerful case for removing Turnbull, merely by being competent. Che Guevara was an awful person. Unworthy of adulation or respect. A picture is being circulated of what looks like Che shooting teen girls while Fidel looks on. It is a snapshot of what socialism is. Socialism is dressed up as a fair go for strugglers. But the crippling, poverty spreading mass murderous cult is nothing more than a criminal syndicate.

International Mirror Morals Day? Where instead of celebrating Women we make false claims of victimisation. And ALP in Victoria are crashing in the polls. There are lots of reasons for them to crash. Putting aside the obvious rorting of expenses. The claim is both sides do it, then when that fails it is claimed conservatives are richer than ALP. Until one counts the slush funds. Putting aside the throwing away of a billion dollars to not build a road that is needed. Putting aside sending trucks through back streets to avoid exorbitant tolls. Putting aside badly managed infrastructure which is so badly planned that people are inconvenienced for months as central Melbourne escalators and elevators don't work at busy railway stations. Putting aside the debacle of closing down a needed coal power station in favour of unreliable renewables and reliance on states that use coal power. Putting aside a bungled order for water that is not needed from a desalination plant that was supposed to run on wind power but instead will use diesel generators. And still we take water from farmers. Putting aside the government neutering volunteer CFA prior to the fire season. Putting aside rising youth crime and conditions unfavourable for youth employment. Putting aside Dan Andrews making police work more difficult and encouraging vigilante action. Dan Andrews has participated as Premier of Victoria. He has no control over his own party. It isn't his fault. The job is too hard for any one idiot.
Got on a late train from Parliament Station to Dandenong. The 8:10 ran twelve minutes late. It was packed. Standing room only. My fifty year old 200 Kg frame was forced to stand, holding a back pack and a cooler shopping bag. I couldn't even find a wall to lean against, and stood in the centre of the carriage with an arm raised over my head to hold a rail for balance. Four pretty girls and a young man reading a book were sitting in the priority seating immediately in front of me. The girls were absorbed with their phones, playing games matching colours, or listening to music. The guy had a blood bank t shirt, was built like a soldier just returned from Syria. He was reading a Koran. Dan Andrews is fixing things so there was no escalator access from the street. Thank you Dan Andrews. You might not be popular, but I was not alone in standing for you. But none of those pretty girls would. Or the guy reading the Koran.

I told Joe Tripodi about my concerns regarding a bungled pedophile investigation and the death of schoolchild Hamidur Rahman. I was being targeted by people involved possibly with both incidents, and if they couldn't discredit me they might choose to kill me. Joe said he would help represent my interests to parliament. He sent me a letter saying he had contacted the education Minister. Then he sent me the Minister's advice. The minister was fighting to improve teacher salary. The reply was innocuous, but the meaning was sinister. The next year an old school friend of mine who worked for disgraced ALP attorney general Jeff Shaw drafted the NSW Teachers Code of Conduct and applied it to force me to delete my writing. All of it. Millions of words and images. The ALP were hiding the death of a school child and covering up a bungled pedophile investigation.

The greatest predictor of behaviour is past behaviour. Or in the ALP's case, current behaviour. The Queensland and Victorian governments are doing much to show how a corrupt NSW Victorian government will behave. In Queensland, unready Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk has told her Attorney-General Yvette D’Ath to overturn the bikie laws Newman championed. That frees up drug running and terrorist linked communications. D'Ath had chaired the Australian Federal Government's privileges committee which found nothing wrong with Craig Thomson's misappropriating union money from the poorest workers to pay for prostitutes. In her defence, Craig Thomson had no problem with it either. In Victoria, Premier Andrews has moved to scrap the building code preventing corrupt unions from standing over businesses and establishing slush funds. The threat is not imaginary. Recently, the superannuation fund CBUS leaked the home addresses and details of 300 employees of builders to the CFMEU. There is no record of anyone being killed as a result. Yet. Andrews is also giving away money to avoid building a needed road.
International women's day, but the press seem confused, and actually seem to laud things which hurt most females, mothers. A radio boss gives away condoms to prevent their female employees falling pregnant. Work life balance is a catch phrase for business management and it isn't friendly to mothers very often. But everyone has or has had a mother. Children are resilient, but good mothering can help a child carry that resilience into adulthood. It isn't an accident when it happens. It os true that many extraordinary women juggle work and family. Many happy women choose the life of work over family. But most women become mothers and a day that celebrates them should not demean them.
Meanwhile federal ALP are campaigning on Green issues using kittens. It is a distraction from the fact that Bill Shorten has no policy on any issue. In one advert, a praying kitten in a park asks for no coal seam gas. Coal seam gas is safe to extract and very good for the environment. But the kitten opposes CSG because it doesn't want cheap energy to support poor people. Just like the ALP. Who knew that the largest killer of Australian native fauna voted ALP?

Northampton County of Virginia Colony in 1655, the law recognised the right of a black man to own a black man. John Casor had argued he was not a slave, but a freedman working as an indentured servant. The premise being that he would one day be free to own his own land. His former master disagreed, and the court ruled John was a slave for life. Although he would never own a tobacco farm, his hope of freedom was smoked. One hundred and twenty years later, a paper was written asking for abolition of slavery. Another ninety years after that, the first GOP President made sure that slavery was abolished. Justice is slow. From Lincoln, one had to wait until Nixon for equal rights. Maybe freedom would have come faster if there were no Democrats. We will never know.
Kepler's brilliant third law "The square of the orbital period of a planet is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit."was discovered on this day in 1618. It tells us how long a year would be for a planet with a known orbit. It was an insight as powerful as any of Ramanujan's, but explicable. Kepler was a rational, religious man. His mother had been denounced as a witch in 1615, but Johannes managed to have her freed. If she had cast a spell, she never did it again.

Today's Old Testament reading: Deuteronomy 1-3
The Command to Leave Horeb
1 These are the words Moses spoke to all Israel in the wilderness east of the Jordan--that is, in the Arabah--opposite Suph, between Paran and Tophel, Laban, Hazeroth and Dizahab. 2 (It takes eleven days to go from Horeb to Kadesh Barnea by the Mount Seir road.)
Today's New Testament reading: Mark 10:32-52
Jesus Predicts His Death a Third Time
32 They were on their way up to Jerusalem, with Jesus leading the way, and the disciples were astonished, while those who followed were afraid. Again he took the Twelve aside and told them what was going to happen to him. 33 "We are going up to Jerusalem," he said, "and the Son of Man will be delivered over to the chief priests and the teachers of the law. They will condemn him to death and will hand him over to the Gentiles, 34 who will mock him and spit on him, flog him and kill him. Three days later he will rise...."

March 7: Morning
"Have faith in God." - Mark 11:22
Faith is the foot of the soul by which it can march along the road of the commandments. Love can make the feet move more swiftly; but faith is the foot which carries the soul. Faith is the oil enabling the wheels of holy devotion and of earnest piety to move well; and without faith the wheels are taken from the chariot, and we drag heavily. With faith I can do all things; without faith I shall neither have the inclination nor the power to do anything in the service of God. If you would find the men who serve God the best, you must look for the men of the most faith. Little faith will save a man, but little faith cannot do great things for God. Poor Little-faith could not have fought "Apollyon;" it needed "Christian" to do that. Poor Little-faith could not have slain "Giant Despair;" it required "Great-heart's" arm to knock that monster down. Little faith will go to heaven most certainly, but it often has to hide itself in a nut-shell, and it frequently loses all but its jewels. Little-faith says, "It is a rough road, beset with sharp thorns, and full of dangers; I am afraid to go;" but Great-faith remembers the promise, "Thy shoes shall be iron and brass; as thy days, so shall thy strength be:" and so she boldly ventures. Little-faith stands desponding, mingling her tears with the flood; but Great-faith sings, "When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee:" and she fords the stream at once. Would you be comfortable and happy? Would you enjoy religion? Would you have the religion of cheerfulness and not that of gloom? Then "have faith in God." If you love darkness, and are satisfied to dwell in gloom and misery, then be content with little faith; but if you love the sunshine, and would sing songs of rejoicing, covet earnestly this best gift, "great faith."
Evening
"It is better to trust in the Lord, than to put confidence in man." - Psalm 118:8
Doubtless the reader has been tried with the temptation to rely upon the things which are seen, instead of resting alone upon the invisible God. Christians often look to man for help and counsel, and mar the noble simplicity of their reliance upon their God. Does this evening's portion meet the eye of a child of God anxious about temporals, then would we reason with him awhile. You trust in Jesus, and only in Jesus, for your salvation, then why are you troubled? "Because of my great care." Is it not written, "Cast thy burden upon the Lord"? "Be careful for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication make known your wants unto God." Cannot you trust God for temporals? "Ah! I wish I could." If you cannot trust God for temporals, how dare you trust him for spirituals? Can you trust him for your soul's redemption, and not rely upon him for a few lesser mercies? Is not God enough for thy need, or is his all-sufficiency too narrow for thy wants? Dost thou want another eye beside that of him who sees every secret thing? Is his heart faint? Is his arm weary? If so, seek another God; but if he be infinite, omnipotent, faithful, true, and all-wise, why gaddest thou abroad so much to seek another confidence? Why dost thou rake the earth to find another foundation, when this is strong enough to bear all the weight which thou canst ever build thereon? Christian, mix not only thy wine with water, do not alloy thy gold of faith with the dross of human confidence. Wait thou only upon God, and let thine expectation be from him. Covet not Jonah's gourd, but rest in Jonah's God. Let the sandy foundations of terrestrial trust be the choice of fools, but do thou, like one who foresees the storm, build for thyself an abiding place upon the Rock of Ages.

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)
