Editorial how Biden started Jew Killing in Middle East
Two competing foreign policy agenda are regionalism vs bilateralism. Trump favoured bilateral relations policy. Obama favoured regionalism and recreated a cold war to achieve those aims. Under cold war theory, trouble nations like North Korea and Iran are forced to find a big protector like China or Russia to protect them. Under Bilateral theory, nations are free to achieve their agenda and engage with nations for mutual benefit. In the Middle East, a Cold War theory question of the USA to their satellite countries is "What is your biggest security threat?" and, filtered through the noise of competing factors is the answer 'Israel.' Israel is not a threat to anyone, but the compromise takes into account the desire of terrorists to achieve their aim of destroying Israel. However, when bilateral practitioners ask their question 'What do you want?' Then, most Middle East nations do not consider Israel at all.
Under bilateral practice, Trump achieved a balanced peace in the Middle East. Under regionalism, Biden has revived terrorism, with tens of thousands of rockets aimed at Israel as thousands are fired daily. The press are happy for the war, as they hand wring and write of the possibility of peace they despised Trump. Where to next? Cold War involves bureaucratic process. Terrible things happen like the shooting down of a Malaysian airways flight over Ukraine, where the guilty parties, including Biden, have never been brought to book.
Already, Biden meddling in the Israeli election process has clouded the state of Israel's administration. Under Cold War rules, can Israel defend herself?
Editorial on Fascists using COVID to seize control of government
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other. galatians 5:22-26A bible quote worth considering when you remember that a Christian Pastor in Canada was arrested for church services during COVID when he refused to allow authorities to shut his services down. No statistics, as yet, as to the number of congregants who died, but I assume it is none.
The Pastor is arrested by police. Note the force used.
What does it take to get people to wake up to the fascism?

Editorial left wing is awful world wide
It isn't just the fraudulent President Biden's administration which shows the shortcoming off left wing liberalism around the world.
Left wing culture is weird. A teacher on Zoom in NYC took time off class to suck the nipple of a male whom she had been eating spaghetti with earlier. The class was for a prestigious school and the 37 year old teacher has no excuse for her behaviour. Not to be outdone, World class athlete Jarryd Haynes has been convicted of rape and is to serve jail time. It is rare in Australia for rapists to be convicted, with some 1% of rape cases proceeding to conviction, historically. But Hayne's defence claims mitigation as he was paroled to a bible college awaiting trial? How is it Jesus might forgive rape? What about Assange? Meanwhile the judge speaks out, seeming to inflate the circumstances of aggravated rape which Hayne was not convicted.
An Australian Comedian reached out to Peter Allen, stealing his song "I still call Australia home" and twisting the lyrics to 'I still can't call Australia home.' What could be funnier than calling a liberal democracy run by a conservative government as foreign?
China puts a rocket in space without planning how it would fall from orbit. Maybe China should speak to the Malaysian Airways flight 370 pilot, who allegedly planned his suicide taking passengers with him in an as yet untraced flight. Or maybe China could ask Dan Andrews who seems to plan for things, but forget making the plans after they fail. Also Andrews moves to prevent evidence of plans being seen by the public.
Special shout out to Joe Biden for telling a fake personal story about Amtrak rail. Lying on mother's day adds a personal touch, reminding of Obama's gift.
Explosive new information emerges about the 2020 election. In this episode, I discuss the Arizona audit and the reasons behind the Biden’s administration’s current collapse.

Here is a video I made O Holy Night
It is Christmas eve, and so I thought I would do this number that never gets sung at Carols unless someone can sing it. I don't know the tune .. so I guess a little .. but I think it comes out alright.
===
The words and lyrics of the old carol 'O Holy Night' were written by Placide Cappeau de Roquemaure in 1847. Cappeau was a wine seller by trade but was asked by the parish priest to write a poem for Christmas. He obliged and wrote the beautiful words of the hymn. He then realised that it should have music to accompany the words and he approached his friend Adolphe Charles Adams(1803-1856). He agreed and the music for the poem was therefore composed by Adolphe Charles Adams. Adolphe had attended the Paris conservatoire and forged a brilliant career as a composer. It was translated into English by John Sullivan Dwight (1812-1893).
O holy night!
The stars are brightly shining
It is the night of the dear Savior's birth!
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
Till he appear'd and the soul felt its worth.
A thrill of hope the weary soul rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn!
Fall on your knees
Oh hear the angel voices
Oh night divine
Oh night when Christ was born
Oh night divine
Oh night divine
Led by the light of Faith serenely beaming
With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand
So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming
Here come the wise men from Orient land
The King of Kings lay thus in lowly manger
In all our trials born to be our friend
Truly He taught us to love one another
His law is love and His gospel is peace
Chains shall He break for the slave is our brother
And in His name all oppression shall cease
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we,
Let all within us praise His holy name

Don't give up on hope. A signals failure in Melbourne's railway network predictably was badly handled. Trains were stopped and travellers were given bad and conflicting advice as to what to do. The delays extended over a six hour period starting early after 2pm until after 8 pm. Train passengers were advised to wait on the train. Were advised to catch connecting busses. Were given the wrong numbers of busses to catch. Were not told where the busses would be. I'm a regular user, getting on at Dandenong Railway for Springvale to catch a bus to Glen Waverly. Normally I catch a train around 2:44 and can be at Glen Waverly by 3:30 or 4:00 if there are snafus. This time I had to catch an 850 bus and got to my destination about 4:10. I plan for public transport failure and made my 5pm work start. Thing is, I'm diabetic and need to medicate with food before I work. Metro rail advise there will be no refund for me.
I was on the train at Dandenong at 2:44, and there was an announcement over the loudspeaker. Train was not moving. I left the train with many passengers remaining seated, and went up a flight of steps where there were no rail personnel advising what was happening. I found a few in a corner chatting over an iPad. I asked what I should do, expecting rail busses. They looked at the iPad and said they couldn't work it. They suggested a few busses. I asked where they would be. They didn't know, but waved vaguely at the myriad of bus stops. I caught a different bus and ended up where I wanted to go. Later than I intended.
This morning on 3AW Neil Mitchell discussed the issue and asked for callers. I responded but there was no time for me. Mitchell interviewed VicRail and was told there would be no compensation in all likelihood for most Metro users and certainly none for me, after I used a bus instead of waiting six hours on a train. Thank you, Dan Andrews.
There is a picture/video circulated on FB of NZ PM looking like she has a 'package.' Some complain of the image when they never would if it were Sarah Palin. When we go high, they go low. I don't criticise her for how she looks. She (NZ PM) opposes prosperity and liberty and that is enough for me to weigh what she says and understand how she behaves. #DrainTheSwamp

Peter Gregory from the IPA raises an issue of idiot academics. "No, this is not from The Conversation - an academic from the University of Auckland studying the effect of "neoliberalism" on urban planning has found that increased supply of land and houses reduces property affordability. I guess the laws of supply and demand must be wrong."
The Academic illustrates her argument based on a trip she took "At the Ellenbrook development in Perth, Australia, a public-private partnership that Bahmanteymouri classed as "100 per cent neoliberalism", land was sold to developers on the provision that around 12 per cent of it would be used for affordable housing.
"I had an interview with the developers and the companies, and also planning institutions, none of them, no-one can say to what extent they provided affordable housing there."
Just because people didn't tell her, did not mean that there weren't any. Better research would have focused on the recent past. The entire world's population could live the Australian dream of a family of four on a quarter acre block in Queensland, and still there would be parks and wilderness areas in Queensland. The entire world's population could live in France with a population density equal to Paris. They already do in Paris. The reason for land releases is often in response to reduced property affordability. There is a minimum cost in a build to infrastructure and urban planning. It comes as no surprise that new houses cost similarly as houses. Unless your an academic. In which case the sunrise is probably a pleasant surprise every day. Bonus if you are a gambler and put your money on East. Sad if it was West. Academics shouldn't gamble. Or play with matches.
Some things should not happen, but they do. Malcolm Turnbull wants 32 year old Andrew Bragg, a deputy head of the Menzies Research centre and a member of Turnbull's own constituency to be the Liberal's new federal director. He has never run an election campaign. He has written for the Huffington Post embarrassingly poor pieces. But no matter how stupid the new federal director is, the failure of the budget to cut spending, but increase tax, is an illustration of the failure of Turnbull to explain the need for economic reform. Last year I wrote how Turnbull had failed his own benchmarks he set when rolling Abbott. In a year, Turnbull has done nothing to address that.

Spying on Hitler's Army, the secret recordings. MI-19 in WW2 created listening posts for POWs they believed knew things worthy of interrogation. They had a large staff of german speakers who transcribed the recordings. The recordings were not divulged at the end of the war, but were kept for a cold war advantage. So many who confessed to war crimes on tape were never brought to book. However, it is now clear that it was not solely Nazis who committed war crimes against Jews (in particular), but regular army as well. Fascinating to hear the transcripts of the divided loyalty of POW generals of the German army. To hear one officer say they used to command Stauffenberg and wish he'd used a bigger bomb was telling. To hear the atrocities again, to feel helpless about how they unfolded, to hear the regret of those involved, is to know the evil of jihadism must be stopped. And it is not solely the jihadi that is complicit with the evil perpetrated, but the wider impotent Islamic leadership and the enabling left.
The budget reply by Bill Shorten. Shorten is disappointed with the budget and says he will not pass any cut. Shorten promises to do what the ALP did not do the last time they were in government; pass tax cuts and spend on infrastructure. Shorten recognises the need to cut spending, but will do so by spending more on education and health. Shorten does not distinguish between the budget measures now and those that are planned for the future. Promised spending by the ALP in the last government is considered binding by Shorten to this government, and so planned extra spending that is shelved he views as cuts which harm families now. Shorten opposed the funded plan by Abbott in the last budget for maternity leave, and opposes the end of double dipping now. Shorten refers to bracket creep, and claims it will indefinitely sustain the budget when clearly it doesn't. Shorten wonders about jobs for the future and the skills they require. Under Shorten, Australia won't have money in the future to fund health, education or welfare.
Prince Charles' private letters to public figures are irresponsible and inappropriate. It is ok for a private citizen to raise issues privately, but for the Prince of Wales to do so should mean that there is no privacy to the letter. Were the letters to be private after Charles signed them then the public figure becomes subject to blackmail. The only way to ensure that a public figure is not being leaned on is to have the letters public, so as to maintain transparency. If Charles does not recognise that, he must be stripped of any title making him heir to the throne.
On this day in 1264, Battle of Lewes: Henry III of England was captured and forced to sign the Mise of Lewes, making Simon de Montfort the de facto ruler of England. It is difficult to like Henry III, he was the son of King John and a bigot. Henry fleeced the Jews of England to pay for his inadequate rule and even passed a law to force Jews to wear badges. Simon's victory at Lewes was partly because Henry's son, Prince Edward, had been successful in battle and left the King's flank to pursue fleeing soldiers, and exposing Henry. Henry signed away many powers to Simon, who did not long enjoy them, losing in the Battle of Evesham his own life and that of his son.

1610, Henry IV of France was assassinated, bringing Louis XIII to the throne. Henry IV had been raised as a Protestant but became Catholic. He had ended the civil war between Catholics and Protestants in France. François Ravaillac, was an hysteric Catholic who believed Henry was going to fight the Pope, so he stopped his carriage and jumped into the carriage and knifed Henry between the ribs, killing him. François Ravaillac was tortured before being dismembered. 1643, four-year-old Louis XIV became King of France upon the death of his father, Louis XIII. Louis's death by TB on this day in 1643 happened 33 years after he had come to the throne on his father's assassination. Louis had endured seven years with his mother as regent, before executing many of her followers and pushing her into exile.

Complaints, many ridiculous, have been made about the Australian budget and children's welfare. So it is worthwhile focusing on child welfare. Today is the birthday of Oona O'Neill (wife of Charlie Chaplin), Bobby Darrin and child entrepreneur Mark Zuckerberg .. and Taruni Sachdev. In 1889, the charity National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children was launched in London. Not a recent problem, cruelty to children is documented in the Bible. But we still seem to invent new ways. Ariel Castro kidnapped some teens and held them captive for over a decade, exploiting them sexually. Castro was caught, which is more than can be said of Peruvian Lina Medina's abuser. She was five years old when she gave birth by caesarian in 1939 on this day. She was not able to say who impregnated her, although her father was a suspect never prosecuted. Even today, as an adult, she is not saying. Her son, born healthy, died of a bone marrow disease in his early forties. Children are not immune to tragedy too. Actress Taruni Sachdev was fourteen years old when she got on a plane with her mother in Nepal. The plane crashed on this day, her birthday, in 2012, killing both and others. It is not the job of parents to raise children to face the harsh rigours of the world. The inevitable is inevitably faced. However, it is the job of parents to raise children with knowledge of security fostered through love. Because when we are loved we are resilient, and can bear many burdens. So how do those perceived budget weaknesses get faced? One organisation is suggesting that school kids be discouraged from calling their teachers 'sir' or 'miss' because it is perceived that is gender discrimination.
With modern cricket, more games are being played and so players pass records by merely being very good. So, it is nice to be able to note that the record for the number of first class wickets being taken over a career was landmarked on this day in 1929 by Wilfred Rhodes. Rhodes had taken his 4000th wicket on his way to taking 9-39. He was a slow bowling left arm orthodox. The next year he retired having taken 4201 wickets at an average of 16.72. He was only 53 years old when he retired, but lived on to 95. And he needed none of the things in his life which have been cut in the Australian budget.

Today's Old Testament reading: 2 Kings 17-18
Hoshea Last King of Israel
1 In the twelfth year of Ahaz king of Judah, Hoshea son of Elah became king of Israel in Samaria, and he reigned nine years. 2 He did evil in the eyes of the LORD, but not like the kings of Israel who preceded him.
3 Shalmaneser king of Assyria came up to attack Hoshea, who had been Shalmaneser's vassal and had paid him tribute....
Today's New Testament reading: John 3:19-36
19 This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil.20 Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed. 21 But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God....

Morning
Christian! If thou art in a night of trial, think of the morrow; cheer up thy heart with the thought of the coming of thy Lord. Be patient, for
"Lo! He comes with clouds descending."
Be patient! The Husbandman waits until he reaps his harvest. Be patient; for you know who has said, "Behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give to every man according as his work shall be." If you are never so wretched now, remember
"A few more rolling suns, at most,
Will land thee on fair Canaan's coast."
Thy head may be crowned with thorny troubles now, but it shall wear a starry crown ere long; thy hand may be filled with cares--it shall sweep the strings of the harp of heaven soon. Thy garments may be soiled with dust now; they shall be white by-and-by. Wait a little longer. Ah! how despicable our troubles and trials will seem when we look back upon them! Looking at them here in the prospect, they seem immense; but when we get to heaven we shall then
"With transporting joys recount,
The labours of our feet."
Our trials will then seem light and momentary afflictions. Let us go on boldly; if the night be never so dark, the morning cometh, which is more than they can say who are shut up in the darkness of hell. Do you know what it is thus to live on the future--to live on expectation--to antedate heaven? Happy believer, to have so sure, so comforting a hope. It may be all dark now, but it will soon be light; it may be all trial now, but it will soon be all happiness. What matters it though "weeping may endure for a night," when "joy cometh in the morning?"
Evening
"Thou art my portion, O Lord."
Psalm 119:57
Psalm 119:57
Look at thy possessions, O believer, and compare thy portion with the lot of thy fellowmen. Some of them have their portion in the field; they are rich, and their harvests yield them a golden increase; but what are harvests compared with thy God, who is the God of harvests? What are bursting granaries compared with him, who is the Husbandman, and feeds thee with the bread of heaven? Some have their portion in the city; their wealth is abundant, and flows to them in constant streams, until they become a very reservoir of gold; but what is gold compared with thy God? Thou couldst not live on it; thy spiritual life could not be sustained by it. Put it on a troubled conscience, and could it allay its pangs? Apply it to a desponding heart, and see if it could stay a solitary groan, or give one grief the less? But thou hast God, and in him thou hast more than gold or riches ever could buy. Some have their portion in that which most men love--applause and fame; but ask thyself, is not thy God more to thee than that? What if a myriad clarions should be loud in thine applause, would this prepare thee to pass the Jordan, or cheer thee in prospect of judgment? No, there are griefs in life which wealth cannot alleviate; and there is the deep need of a dying hour, for which no riches can provide. But when thou hast God for thy portion, thou hast more than all else put together. In him every want is met, whether in life or in death. With God for thy portion thou art rich indeed, for he will supply thy need, comfort thy heart, assuage thy grief, guide thy steps, be with thee in the dark valley, and then take thee home, to enjoy him as thy portion forever. "I have enough," said Esau; this is the best thing a worldly man can say, but Jacob replies, "I have all things," which is a note too high for carnal minds.

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)
