As a policeman, Chauvin sought to protect and serve. As a congress woman, Waters seeks to exploit and divide. And in Lindfield, Sydney, NSW, Australia, we have a modern school where children post poster lies about police. Activists claim police hunt black people. The truth is black people are safer from rare events of police killing citizens than white people. However, mainstream news promotes lies told by radical left politicians.
===The radical left is now on board supporting riots, stabbings, segregation, government spying, and socialism. Also, LeBron James and “The Squad” are huge frauds. I have the evidence.

Here is a video I made Hamlet's Soliloquy
William Shakespeare (baptised 26 April 1564; died 23 April 1616) was an English poet and playwright, widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's pre-eminent dramatist. He is often called England's national poet and the "Bard of Avon". His surviving works, including some collaborations, consist of about 38 plays, 154 sonnets, two long narrative poems, and several other poems. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright
To be, or not to be: that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep;
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks (70)
That flesh is heir to, 'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep;
To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub;
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause: there's the respect
That makes calamity of so long life;
For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,
The oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely,
The pangs of despis'd love, the law's delay, (80)
The insolence of office and the spurns
That patient merit of the unworthy takes,
When he himself might his quietus make
With a bare bodkin? who would fardelsbear,
To grunt and sweat under a weary life,
But that the dread of something after death,
The undiscover'd country from whose bourn
No traveller returns, puzzles the will
And makes us rather bear those ills we have
Than fly to others that we know not of? (90)
Thus conscience does make cowards of us all;
And thus the native hue of resolution
Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought,
And enterprises of great pitch and moment
With this regard their currents turn awry,
And lose the name of action.-- Soft you now!
The fair Ophelia! Nymph, in thy orisons
Be all my sins remember'd.

Don't give up on hope. I'm an evangelical Christian but followers of my writing could be anything. My outreach is secular. I would like to educate on issues, but I'm not aiming for conversion. I'm happy to engage on issues, or not. My point in writing, aside from the compulsion I have to write, is to get employment for my skills. As a teacher, I'm happy teaching anyone, regardless of nationality and creed. One observation I make is few who try to convert strike me as competent. To appeal to people, it is important to stand on issues and make choices, but those choices also alienate others. I believe God has given me a mission. It is not a mission to upset people who disagree with me. Two types of people I find it hard to work with are committed Christians who make assumptions about what compels me, and Atheists who make assumptions about what compels me. I want to serve God, but I'm not compelled. My writing is a compulsion, but I'm not writing God's word. Were I to write to convert, I would not aim to inform, but to forge a template for like minded people. But that alienates people too. And alienating people is not my aim. I'm not trying to please everyone, or anyone. I was raised Atheist and I feel anger at hucksters who try to hoodwink others. I find God gives me joy in my life, gives me hope and direction. But it is often not the way others find hope and joy. I recall one who went to church and heard an excellent pastor speak, but could not engage because he wanted to be 'touched' by God and he did not feel that that had happened. It can happen, I've been told, but it is not a promise God has made. There are signs and wonders, but such things are not necessary. So the guy went back to self pleasuring himself with drugs. And drugs deliver in a way that God had not. Following God has not given me a treasure map. I don't want what God doesn't want me to have in my life. I see what happens when God touches lives, and I enjoy my life and mission, I don't wish to change it or retire.
I was a teenager when God was shown to me to be possible. But not in the way that an Atheist God is possible. The God Atheists don't believe in does not exist. It is a ridiculous creature. But God is real and has authority and power and is described very well in the Bible. But the rubbish Atheists look for is not there, and never was. The issue struck home for me, again, recently, when an idiot scientist with ideas on faith claimed they had discovered a physical information package that might be a soul. The ridiculous concept he put forward described nothing biblical. God is apparent to those who see Him, and the science mumbo jumbo is not that. And those who believe in Creationism are on a par with Atheists. Creationism does not rely on the living Word of God, but on a fear that science might disprove it. When has that ever happened?

IPA Review April 2017 has an article on Fixing NDIS by Vern Hughes director of Civil Society Australia. The National Disability Insurance Scheme is not as advertised. An insurance scheme would be self funding. There needs to be management for disability services to be effective. But the model of NDIS is not efficient and is so counterproductive it may set back disability care decades, in Australia. The chief problem of NDIS is the same as the Building Education Revolution and Pink Batts. School buildings were needed. Insulation is good, but the implementation was inappropriate and cost substantially more than was required. So people have died and the Federal debt has reached half a trillion dollars with no budget surplus in the foreseeable future. Instead of extreme managerialism siphoning off large chunks of the $37 billion NDIS budget, NDIS could allow more flexibility of care delivery at no greater cost than pre existing the $37 billion budget. Successful projects from 80's and 90's already delivered that. But the ALP government circa 2010 and 2011 did not care about being responsible. And the press have made it very difficult to call for reform.
Some things should not happen, but they do. France is voting to elect a replacement to Hollande. Hollande was a failure who betrayed French people and France will pay a high price for many years for his anti semitism. But who will replace him? According to Fox journalists, who also did not rate Trump highly on the economy, Le Pen is not an economic conservative. The misery France is enduring is the sad story of a policeman killed by a terrorist whom had been arrested by the police earlier in the year with knives and a scream mask. He had claimed he was organising a circus act. He had previously done time for shooting police. French laws are as weak as Victorian ones under Dan Andrews. Le Pen may not pass this early round of voting. But she may also be the next President. What will France decide?

The death of Prince at 57 years of age is sad. He had much more to offer the world of music through writing and performing. But it looks like prescription drugs have claimed him. Illegal drugs are harmful. But prescription drugs need to be respected too. Drugs are effective and pain killers can be addictive. It is ok to have pain. It can be character building. It can also be debilitating. Jerry Lewis lost much of his life to pain killing meds. But he had had a debilitating back injury and maybe he might not have been able to continue without that. But what a person can and cannot take is personal. But money can't save you from lethal amounts of drugs.
Still, as sad as it may be that Prince died, it was ultimately self inflicted. Who will prescription drugs take next? As the inept crown holder, Malcolm Turnbull must be in a terrible amount of pain right now. His dreams are bigger than his ability. What can make his pain go away?
For some, at the moment, the Sex Party has more credibility.

In 215 BC a temple was built on Capitoline hill in Rome, dedicated to Venus. Rome was terrified. They had lost a battle to Hannibal, and so sent out another army, and at Trasimene that second army was slaughtered. Hannibal with his mounted men, including elephants, and a mixture of Iberians, Gauls and Phoenicians. It was the successful part of the second punic war for Carthage. A year later Romans would again be slaughtered at Cannae, leaving Rome exposed to an attack Hannibal failed to make. Three years earlier in 218 BC, Roman troops were slaughtered at Trebbia River. At Trebbia, 42000 Romans faced Hannibal with 30000. Rome lost 32000 casualties. Scipio was supposed to be in charge, but Longus seems to have taken authority. Hannibal had placed himself in centre ground, preventing communication between Scipio and Longus. Longus fought through and had 10000 men left after fighting through to the rear of Hannibal, having lost the rest.
But in 215, on this day, it was the second battle, Trasimene, where again Hannibal out planned a superior force. This time, Hannibal with 55000 faced Flaminius with 30000. Flaminius had held a fortified position while Hannibal raided the countryside. Flaminius was exasperated and against all advice broke position to chase Hannibal. Hannibal led him to Trasimene Lake. There, Hannibal planned a surprise attack and is credited with having the largest force executing a surprise attack ever. Rome lost 15000 men and a desperate Rome turned to Venus to favour them. They elected a dictator, then realised that two consuls would be better. But that was to be their humiliation at Cannae.
In 1014, King Brian Boru was successful against Vikings, but was killed in battle at Clontarf. In 1348, King Edward III initiated the order of the garter. Their motto, Honi Soit Qui Mal Y Pense loosely translates as "Evil on the person who thinks evil." As knighthoods go, it should only be given to good people. Why would the king want his knights to gather around a garter? Note, it was St George's Day. In 1516, ingredients of Beer was defined. But they hadn't known about yeast. So they needed beer to make more beer. In 1951, a journalist was arrested by Czechoslovakian communists on charges of espionage. It was an outrageous threat to freedom of the press that the press accepted.

From 2014
Words have power, and a tremendous speech by the former US President Theodore Roosevelt delivered on this day in 1910 is compelling. It is not the critic, but the man in the arena who decides the course of the event. The speech goes for thirty-five pages and defines the success of GOP Presidency through the years. Nixon referred to it as he ascended to the Presidency, and as the door closed on it. Mandela gave it to his Rugby Captain before that match. There is no power without responsibility. When Rudd tried reckless spending as a policy, he failed. He had had the money to achieve much. He failed because it takes more than money. The man in the arena does not have to be perfect, but they have to have character, competence, intelligence and diligence to achieve the standard.
Five years later, and words lost a powerful friend with the passing of Rupert Brooke. He was a young poet who had achieved much in a very short time. He travelled with the fleet to Gallipolli, and died on the journey. He is buried in an olive field in Skyros, Greece. A year earlier he had written himself a deserving epitaph.

V. The Soldier
If I should die, think only this of me:
That there's some corner of a foreign field
That is for ever England. There shall be
In that rich earth a richer dust concealed;
A dust whom England bore, shaped, made aware,
Gave, once, her flowers to love, her ways to roam,
A body of England's, breathing English air,
Washed by the rivers, blest by suns of home.And think, this heart, all evil shed away,
A pulse in the eternal mind, no less
Gives somewhere back the thoughts by England given;
Her sights and sounds; dreams happy as her day;
And laughter, learnt of friends; and gentleness,
In hearts at peace, under an English heaven.
Rupert, on that final journey, was the man in the arena. His ghost has more wisdom, more life, grace compassion and understanding than President Obama's finest moment. Because, as Roosevelt observed, the man in the arena, not the critic, decides the course of the event.

Absalom Returns to Jerusalem
1 Joab son of Zeruiah knew that the king's heart longed for Absalom. 2 So Joab sent someone to Tekoa and had a wise woman brought from there. He said to her, "Pretend you are in mourning. Dress in mourning clothes, and don't use any cosmetic lotions. Act like a woman who has spent many days grieving for the dead. 3 Then go to the king and speak these words to him." And Joab put the words in her mouth.
4 When the woman from Tekoa went to the king, she fell with her face to the ground to pay him honor, and she said, "Help me, Your Majesty!"

Sin, Faith, Duty
1 Jesus said to his disciples: "Things that cause people to stumble are bound to come, but woe to anyone through whom they come. 2 It would be better for them to be thrown into the sea with a millstone tied around their neck than to cause one of these little ones to stumble. 3 So watch yourselves.
"If your brother or sister sins against you, rebuke them; and if they repent, forgive them. 4 Even if they sin against you seven times in a day and seven times come back to you saying 'I repent,' you must forgive them."
5 The apostles said to the Lord, "Increase our faith!"
6 He replied, "If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, 'Be uprooted and planted in the sea,' and it will obey you....

Morning
Jesus, our Lord, once crucified, dead and buried, now sits upon the throne of glory. The highest place that heaven affords is his by undisputed right. It is sweet to remember that the exaltation of Christ in heaven is a representative exaltation. He is exalted at the Father's right hand, and though as Jehovah he had eminent glories, in which finite creatures cannot share, yet as the Mediator, the honours which Jesus wears in heaven are the heritage of all the saints. It is delightful to reflect how close is Christ's union with his people. We are actually one with him; we are members of his body; and his exaltation is our exaltation. He will give us to sit upon his throne, even as he has overcome, and is set down with his Father on his throne; he has a crown, and he gives us crowns too; he has a throne, but he is not content with having a throne to himself, on his right hand there must be his queen, arrayed in "gold of Ophir." He cannot be glorified without his bride. Look up, believer, to Jesus now; let the eye of your faith behold him with many crowns upon his head; and remember that you will one day be like him, when you shall see him as he is; you shall not be so great as he is, you shall not be so divine, but still you shall, in a measure, share the same honours, and enjoy the same happiness and the same dignity which he possesses. Be content to live unknown for a little while, and to walk your weary way through the fields of poverty, or up the hills of affliction; for by-and-by you shall reign with Christ, for he has "made us kings and priests unto God, and we shall reign forever and ever." Oh!, wonderful thought for the children of God! We have Christ for our glorious representative in heaven's courts now, and soon he will come and receive us to himself, to be with him there, to behold his glory, and to share his joy.
Evening
What is this terror? It may be the cry of fire, or the noise of thieves, or fancied appearances, or the shriek of sudden sickness or death. We live in the world of death and sorrow, we may therefore look for ills as well in the night-watches as beneath the glare of the broiling sun. Nor should this alarm us, for be the terror what it may, the promise is that the believer shall not be afraid. Why should he? Let us put it more closely, why should we? God our Father is here, and will be here all through the lonely hours; he is an almighty Watcher, a sleepless Guardian, a faithful Friend. Nothing can happen without his direction, for even hell itself is under his control. Darkness is not dark to him. He has promised to be a wall of fire around his people--and who can break through such a barrier? Worldlings may well be afraid, for they have an angry God above them, a guilty conscience within them, and a yawning hell beneath them; but we who rest in Jesus are saved from all these through rich mercy. If we give way to foolish fear we shall dishonour our profession, and lead others to doubt the reality of godliness. We ought to be afraid of being afraid, lest we should vex the Holy Spirit by foolish distrust. Down, then, ye dismal forebodings and groundless apprehensions, God has not forgotten to be gracious, nor shut up his tender mercies; it may be night in the soul, but there need be no terror, for the God of love changes not. Children of light may walk in darkness, but they are not therefore cast away, nay, they are now enabled to prove their adoption by trusting in their heavenly Father as hypocrites cannot do.
"Though the night be dark and dreary,
Darkness cannot hide from thee;
Thou art he, who, never weary,
Watchest where thy people be."

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)
