In Defence of Conservative Values via It’s a Wonderful Life (1946 Capra)
The scene has three conservatives talking over dinner. One conservative is the father who wants his son to follow him in business. Another conservative is the son who wants to make a name for himself in the world. Another conservative is the servant whose relationship to those she serves is positive for all of them.
The three are not agreeing with each other, but there is none of the shaming, blaming and rancour one finds when arguing with a left winger. The father listens to his son, and argues on point, convincingly. The son hears his father’s arguments and lets him know he still loves him. The servant reinforces core conservative values. Note, these are not social conservative values, which judges and shames. These are values embraced by modern economic conservatives.
The conservatism is not from a lost time in America. President Donald Trump is not a conservative, neither is he known for conservatism, but his Vice President, Mike Pence is. The greatness of Trump’s Presidency was enhanced by the demeanour and prosecution of Pence as Vice President. One hopes Trump runs and wins again in 2024. Not only will Trump be the first President acquitted of an impeachment twice, he could be the first President elected three times without resorting to corruption.

How You Can Respond to the Vaccine Diplomacy Libel
In recent weeks we’ve spoken about the “vaccine libel,” the fraudulent claim in the media that Israel is denying vaccines to Palestinians. This week the story took on a new twist: the allegation that Israel is giving away vaccines to countries around the world for political gain at the expense of Palestinians.

Art Spot reports on the statue of David, which has completed its tour of the US. Even after five hundred years, the statue reflects the times.
https://rumble.com/vav0wr-art-spot-michelangelos-david-returns-to-italy-from-usa.html
We know what happened in Sydney Colony because of Bennelong. Bennelong had been kidnapped after Arthur Philip failed to make contact with local tribes. Bennelong was wanted to teach Aboriginal language in exchange for food. It was said he could eat a week's rations at a single setting. He escaped, but returned willingly and went to England as an ambassador. Another captured at the same time was Colbee, who escaped and did not return. Before Bennelong, Arabanoo had been captured and forcibly detained before dying of smallpox. Colonel David Collins said his death was "to the great regret of everyone who had witnessed how little of the savage was found in his manner, and how quickly he was substituting in its place a docile, affable, and truly amaiable deportment"

Don't give up on hope. In Australia, students are bullied through the curriculum. Safe Schools bullies students on gender, but it does not begin or end there. For example, a refugee year 11 student gets an English assignment of the type given year 7's for history. The student's brief is to write from the perspective of a first colonist of Sydney, using all the information he has been given. So, the student writes of a sailor 'tasked to kidnap two Aborigines to teach them European ways to end Aboriginal culture. The sailor does, but talks to them and realises they are human too.' Because we don't have freedom of speech in Australia, that classroom 'view' cannot get challenged. Were the student to challenge it, they would lose marks. Only that dismal view of the first colony never happened. We know what happened in Sydney Colony because of Bennelong. Bennelong had been kidnapped after Arthur Philip failed to make contact with local tribes. Bennelong was wanted to teach Aboriginal language in exchange for food. It was said he could eat a week's rations at a single setting. He escaped, but returned willingly and went to England as an ambassador.

The incompetence of Victoria's ALP government is a daily thing. Today, it was disclosed two ministers used government cars to go to a Springsteen concert. What irony. Using taxpayer money to see an ageing rocker croon about the workers they despise and take for granted. There is a reason for ALP to exist, but their party members seem to have forgotten what that is. Historically, the excuse has never matched the party's activity. The ALP is supposed to represent worker's interests and to prevent their exploitation. Instead, the ALP represents vested interests who exploit the poorest. And every time the ALP fail, the press laud them. The ALP have prevented the police from being effective in Victoria. But in promising to hire more police, the news run the line that "At least they are doing something" when in fact they are doing nothing worthwhile. Because even with fewer police, policing could be more effective. To be honest, I've no interest in going to a Springsteen concert anyway.

Bill Shorten in Question Time in Parliament was unaware of the rules today. He tried to make a speech out of order. Graciously, Mr Abbott let him. Mr Shorten had been keen to say he approved of Australia supplying trainers to Iraq and said he expected Australia to limit their effort to Iraq and he felt it was important for Australia to engage wherever terrorism is located .. presumably so long as it is in Iraq. Now we know why Australian soldiers die under ALP administration, they just don't know what the orders mean.
Shorten was keen to know why the co payment idea for health care visits to a GP was dropped. He probably wants it known that the ALP run the senate with independent support. Worth noting as the NSW election nears. If you want responsible government you must vote conservative. The conservative position will preserve medicare as a cheap health care system moving forward. The ALP agenda will leave Australia bankrupt and unable to support such services.
Netanyahu will soon address Congress. Some Democrats are refusing to show. The Democrat position on Israel is often eerily similar to their position opposing freeing slaves in the civil war. Now they are siding with terrorists against those who would have peace.

Pachelbel died on this day, but I would happily marry to the canon bearing his name. Death is an ending, but not the worst thing. Because life allowed the choices .. and the choices live on. Life and death choices are telling. Is coming to Australia a calculated risk with the pay off being a future that is rich? Is coming to Australia a desperate act to escape tyranny? The recent death of a person held in an off shore facility designed to allow UN processing has brought out the voices of those who were silent as over 1100 died making the journey under a previous government. A year ago I wrote
Alexander Graham Bell, credited with inventing the telephone, was born on this day. He never telephoned his wife or mother. They were deaf. Bell was working on inventions for deaf people. Making the telephone a terrible product for the target audience.
If only those thoughts were coherent. The Age wants people who are poor and desperate to drown? The Age wants, people with little, to give it all to pirates? The Age wants people who are desperate and poor to miss out on a refugee placement? The Age wants people who are poor and desperate to live in cages? Maybe if the Age wants to give them a voice, it can listen to their opinion and report it.But those words, apparently are sweet. Compelled by hatred of conservatives, many in the mainstream media object to poor people not being exploited by pirates, and killed by circumstance. A year after I wrote about the issue, and was ignored, there is a new, responsible government. Media object to a conservative government, and are opposing responsible government.
Taken from an impartial view, without entrenched ideas about balance or result, the article is demented. Were we to source thirty thousand people in Sri Lanka, Pakistan or Afghanistan and drown over a thousand of them, and charge each of them over $10k, and then cage them we would expect to be called bad names .. regardless of our intentions. And then to turn to the poor and oppressed and say "Tough luck for now" while asserting that this is fairer than the Pacific Solution .. those words cannot be that sweet .. those arguments cannot be that compelling. Let us forget that conservatives back the Pacific Solution .. I think if we were to be as fair and just as we could be, we would follow the Pacific Solution. I despise the tribalism that refuses to hear good ideas because they weren't made by people we liked.

Balaam's First Message
1 Balaam said, "Build me seven altars here, and prepare seven bulls and seven rams for me." 2 Balak did as Balaam said, and the two of them offered a bull and a ram on each altar.
3 Then Balaam said to Balak, "Stay here beside your offering while I go aside. Perhaps the LORD will come to meet with me. Whatever he reveals to me I will tell you." Then he went off to a barren height....

17 After he had left the crowd and entered the house, his disciples asked him about this parable. 18 "Are you so dull?" he asked. "Don't you see that nothing that enters a person from the outside can defile them? 19 For it doesn't go into their heart but into their stomach, and then out of the body." (In saying this, Jesus declared all foods clean.)

March 2: Morning
"But all the Israelites went down to the Philistines, to sharpen every man his share, and his coulter, and his axe, and his mattock." - 1 Samuel 13:20
We are engaged in a great war with the Philistines of evil. Every weapon within our reach must be used. Preaching, teaching, praying, giving, all must be brought into action, and talents which have been thought too mean for service, must now be employed. Coulter, and axe, and mattock, may all be useful in slaying Philistines; rough tools may deal hard blows, and killing need not be elegantly done, so long as it is done effectually. Each moment of time, in season or out of season; each fragment of ability, educated or untutored; each opportunity, favourable or unfavourable, must be used, for our foes are many and our force but slender.
Most of our tools want sharpening; we need quickness of perception, tact, energy, promptness, in a word, complete adaptation for the Lord's work. Practical common sense is a very scarce thing among the conductors of Christian enterprises. We might learn from our enemies if we would, and so make the Philistines sharpen our weapons. This morning let us note enough to sharpen our zeal during this day by the aid of the Holy Spirit. See the energy of the Papists, how they compass sea and land to make one proselyte, are they to monopolize all the earnestness? Mark the heathen devotees, what tortures they endure in the service of their idols! are they alone to exhibit patience and self-sacrifice? Observe the prince of darkness, how persevering in his endeavours, how unabashed in his attempts, how daring in his plans, how thoughtful in his plots, how energetic in all! The devils are united as one man in their infamous rebellion, while we believers in Jesus are divided in our service of God, and scarcely ever work with unanimity. O that from Satan's infernal industry we may learn to go about like good Samaritans, seeking whom we may bless!

Evening
"Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ." -1 Peter 2:7
The apostle Paul felt it a great privilege to be allowed to preach the gospel. He did not look upon his calling as a drudgery, but he entered upon it with intense delight. Yet while Paul was thus thankful for his office, his success in it greatly humbled him. The fuller a vessel becomes, the deeper it sinks in the water. Idlers may indulge a fond conceit of their abilities, because they are untried; but the earnest worker soon learns his own weakness. If you seek humility, try hard work; if you would know your nothingness, attempt some great thing for Jesus. If you would feel how utterly powerless you are apart from the living God, attempt especially the great work of proclaiming the unsearchable riches of Christ, and you will know, as you never knew before, what a weak unworthy thing you are. Although the apostle thus knew and confessed his weakness, he was never perplexed as to the subject of his ministry. From his first sermon to his last, Paul preached Christ, and nothing but Christ. He lifted up the cross, and extolled the Son of God who bled thereon. Follow his example in all your personal efforts to spread the glad tidings of salvation, and let "Christ and him crucified" be your ever recurring theme. The Christian should be like those lovely spring flowers which, when the sun is shining, open their golden cups, as if saying, "Fill us with thy beams!" but when the sun is hidden behind a cloud, they close their cups and droop their heads. So should the Christian feel the sweet influence of Jesus; Jesus must be his sun, and he must be the flower which yields itself to the Sun of Righteousness. Oh! to speak of Christ alone, this is the subject which is both "seed for the sower, and bread for the eater." This is the live coal for the lip of the speaker, and the master-key to the heart of the hearer.

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)
