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?

I've lost more since I wrote it, but have gained more too. Thank you Hao and your family. JFo too.
Two million words across twelve books written in a year. Four are published and eight will be written in the next fortnight or two. I have sacrificed much friends I have trusted I have also betrayed and I cannot undo it. But I stand by what I did because to not do so would have been worse. Still, I thank those who supported me to persevere when it would have been very easy to give up. My Aunt Joan Watson and my late grandmother Mary MacMahon and their respective offspring are big motivators for me. My cousin Dé Hurwits and his family. My students John Tran, Remi Oh, The Sosins, and their families. My Happy Cup Cabramatta friends Tuan, Christine and Helen. My online colleagues Stephanie Carroll, Mandy McLean, Phil Box, Jenny Vuong, Daniel Katz, Don Kramer and all their families. My close friends from Jesus Family Cabramatta and Marrickville, especially Timothy Ly, and those rogues from Inspire Church and the wonderful former US Army Chaplain John Morris and our Gathering. Also, Edu-Kingdom Bankstown’s William and Anne. This work is not over, the journey is not ended, but definitely we have reached a landmark. Some very special people I cannot name PFB, SLW (nee B) and TMN. Because the dream of tomorrow is the hope given by God. And lastly, thank you to my ‘daughter’ Tammy. Sometimes I long to go home. But, then I remember you are here, Tammy, and I want your future to be bright.
The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

Father, you know the IPA (Institute of Public Affairs) and John Roskam, who used to work for my late father. I want my books to reinforce their campaign for free speech. Father God, the work is not complete. Not even as I finish with it. I have failed in my work I dedicated to you. But that is ok. I don't want it to be about me. I don't want people to read it and hear me, but know you. Such a failure is better than any of the wildest successes I might imagine.

It is just the meme author, and facile fools who feel GOP Christianity is similar to extremist Islam. In the picture, the pose is similar, as is the positioning of objects. But other than the two flags being flags, they have nothing in common. Other than the weapons being weapons, the assertion of the holder is different. One woman stands for secular administration for the land of the free and the brave. The other uses terrorism to achieve their ends, and stands in solidarity with indiscriminate killers. But left wing culture does not discriminate, or even know the difference. We achieved sexual equality in the west. It may never happen under terrorist supporting progressives.
In Melbourne there is a stark choice for government for the November election this year. But Victorians will be told confusing things before the election. The Skyrail is being built without it ever going to vote. Every dollar spent on it is about $3 being spent to fix it by digging deep tunnels. Otherwise a new trade link has to be developed to freight supplies around Australia or create a $trillion cost over coming decades, not to mention the risk to peoples homes in safety and noise pollution.
I read a piece from a progressive feminist about an emotionally distant husband asking if a wife should deny her 'duty' of sex to her husband. I feel to view marriage as a sex contract is to sell it short. But I get it legal experts need concrete things to hang their words on. A woman is not a sex toy. A husband who harms his wife is not a good husband. One of the all time great poets who wrote on marriage was James Dillet Freeman. His marriage was celibate. But very rich. But a marriage is not what SSM advocates make of it.

Don't give up on hope. Two years ago as the incompetent Australian PM Malcolm Turnbull made a bad choice to run for a double dissolution election I highlighted why it was bad and have seen my predictions as accurate. Australia threaded a needle in not voting for a Shorten led government, but they have been betrayed by a Liberal Party which has clung onto the awful leadership of Malcolm Turnbull. All Turnbull has done effectively is suck oxygen away from healthy party policy initiatives. Under Turnbull, Liberals have inertia and do not pursue needed policy to underpin our democracy, like free speech or free trade. Australia instead pursues an alarmist AGW agenda which is not very distant from ALP politics.

I used to know a teacher who prospered at Punchbowl Boys. Jag was a Black Hindu indian but he had "Allah" in his name. He was in his mid seventies when he started there. He could sleep through Math classes and nobody got upset. He never told the kids he was Hindu. They assumed he was Islamic. Everyone was happy. But the reputation of Punchbowl as ever being anything than dysfunctional is undeserved. It is not worthwhile to blame the kids. It is the community's fault they accept dysfunctional education. Kids from tougher backgrounds can prosper without being told up is down. But until it is recognised that the school has problems, it will alway have them. It is wrong to have schools where good kids cannot learn.
A few years ago I wrote my prayer regarding the end of my project. I have moved to other ones. I am happy when those around me prosper. Which may be why I dislike the politics of the ALP and Greens and Democrats so much. Things can be so much better. And sometimes, one needs to sacrifice to achieve that.

The Liberal party have sort of committed to a July 2nd double dissolution election. It is a stupid move from the point of view of a Liberal Party supporter, but for Turnbull it must seem clever. Keeping previous election gains and locking out the ALP from the Senate would be a concern for a Liberal Party leader. But Turnbull wants to hide policy inertia and collective incompetence since dumping Mr Abbott. Ten weeks will be decide the populace. The ALP are at a low base of 35% primary vote. The LNP are nose diving from 51% two party preferred. The Libs are unlikely to secure the senate, and will lose a substantial part of the house of reps. Neither coalition presents an effective economic plan. Neither coalition is offering free speech. ALP are promising to be incompetent. LNP are desperate to not lose or say anything worthwhile.
For some at the moment, the sex party has more credibility.

No article today .. technical issues
From 2014
As the world prepares to confront what may have been an act of terrorism taking down a Malaysian Airlines flight 777 aircraft, with 239 feared dead, it is worth remembering tragedy is not always from terror. This incident might well be terrorist, but the focal point suggesting it, stolen passports from an Italian and an Austrian could also be something expected on *any* international flight not in the US. The US spends a lot of money on security. People wishing to flee nations are common. It isn't hard to think of a reason why people might anonymously wish to leave Malaysia. We don't yet know what happened. One thing we are certain of, is that many on that flight were loved, and will be missed.
It used to be believed that the only way to get truthful testimony from a peasant was to torture them. Low people weren't close to God, and so were easily mislead by the devil. Such ridiculous spiritualism was from the dark ages, and by the time of enlightenment France, 1762, it was a different reason for one to be tortured. Jean Calas was a protestant in Catholic France. One of his sons had converted to Catholicism. But another was found dead in the family home. Calas was accused of killing his son for wanting to convert. Calas' defence was to claim that his son had suicided and the family had relaid the body so as to make it look like a murder. Suicides in those times were crimes which might stigmatise a family. The local magistrate tortured Calas, pulling his limbs out of their sockets, and forcing more than 17 litres of water down his throat. He was tied to a cross, and all of his limbs broken twice by an iron rod. Still he claimed innocence. So he was killed on the wheel aged 64.
The celebrated writer Voltaire heard of the case, and two years later, examined the evidence. The son had had gambling debts he couldn't pay which were to force him out of university. So The King pardoned the father, on this day, posthumously. I dispute the assertion that this is an example of religious intolerance, feeling it is merely intolerance which could have happened for any reason, and religion was the focus. The magistrate was dismissed. If enough people sign my petition, maybe, one day, some ALP figures will answer for their crimes.

Obedience Commanded
1 Now, Israel, hear the decrees and laws I am about to teach you. Follow them so that you may live and may go in and take possession of the land the LORD, the God of your ancestors, is giving you. 2 Do not add to what I command you and do not subtract from it, but keep the commands of the LORD your God that I give you....
Today's New Testament reading: Mark 11:1-18
Jesus Comes to Jerusalem as King
1 As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage and Bethany at the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two of his disciples, 2 saying to them, "Go to the village ahead of you, and just as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, which no one has ever ridden. Untie it and bring it here. 3If anyone asks you, 'Why are you doing this?' say, 'The Lord needs it and will send it back here shortly....'"

March 8: Morning
"We must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God." - Acts 14:22
God's people have their trials. It was never designed by God, when he chose his people, that they should be an untried people. They were chosen in the furnace of affliction; they were never chosen to worldly peace and earthly joy. Freedom from sickness and the pains of mortality was never promised them; but when their Lord drew up the charter of privileges, he included chastisements amongst the things to which they should inevitably be heirs. Trials are a part of our lot; they were predestinated for us in Christ's last legacy. So surely as the stars are fashioned by his hands, and their orbits fixed by him, so surely are our trials allotted to us: he has ordained their season and their place, their intensity and the effect they shall have upon us. Good men must never expect to escape troubles; if they do, they will be disappointed, for none of their predecessors have been without them. Mark the patience of Job; remember Abraham, for he had his trials, and by his faith under them, he became the "Father of the faithful." Note well the biographies of all the patriarchs, prophets, apostles, and martyrs, and you shall discover none of those whom God made vessels of mercy, who were not made to pass through the fire of affliction. It is ordained of old that the cross of trouble should be engraved on every vessel of mercy, as the royal mark whereby the King's vessels of honour are distinguished. But although tribulation is thus the path of God's children, they have the comfort of knowing that their Master has traversed it before them; they have his presence and sympathy to cheer them, his grace to support them, and his example to teach them how to endure; and when they reach "the kingdom," it will more than make amends for the "much tribulation" through which they passed to enter it.
Evening
"She called his name Ben-oni (son of sorrow), but his father called him Benjamin (son of my right hand)." - Genesis 35:18
To every matter there is a bright as well as a dark side. Rachel was overwhelmed with the sorrow of her own travail and death; Jacob, though weeping the mother's loss, could see the mercy of the child's birth. It is well for us if, while the flesh mourns over trials, our faith triumphs in divine faithfulness. Samson's lion yielded honey, and so will our adversities, if rightly considered. The stormy sea feeds multitudes with its fishes; the wild wood blooms with beauteous flowerets; the stormy wind sweeps away the pestilence, and the biting frost loosens the soil. Dark clouds distil bright drops, and black earth grows gay flowers. A vein of good is to be found in every mine of evil. Sad hearts have peculiar skill in discovering the most disadvantageous point of view from which to gaze upon a trial; if there were only one slough in the world, they would soon be up to their necks in it, and if there were only one lion in the desert they would hear it roar. About us all there is a tinge of this wretched folly, and we are apt, at times, like Jacob, to cry, "All these things are against me." Faith's way of walking is to cast all care upon the Lord, and then to anticipate good results from the worst calamities. Like Gideon's men, she does not fret over the broken pitcher, but rejoices that the lamp blazes forth the more. Out of the rough oyster-shell of difficulty she extracts the rare pearl of honour, and from the deep ocean-caves of distress she uplifts the priceless coral of experience. When her flood of prosperity ebbs, she finds treasures hid in the sands; and when her sun of delight goes down, she turns her telescope of hope to the starry promises of heaven. When death itself appears, faith points to the light of resurrection beyond the grave, thus making our dying Ben-oni to be our living Benjamin.

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)
