Sat 29th May 2021 Current Affairs

Editorial Media hatred of Trump shields Biden

headline names President Trump in a murder. A husband had killed his wife and allegedly used her vote, afterwards, to vote for Trump as an alibi. It is not yet certain the killer broke electoral laws established during the COVID crisis. He might not have forged her signature and it might still have been counted. Why do we know the vote was cast for Trump? Would a vote for Biden have changed the status of the investigation? Maybe Liz Cheney can enlighten us, with her vow to do anything to prevent Trump from being elected an historic third time. Usually it is a power hungry Democrat who goes for more than two elections. Except Trump has been fraudulently denied the 2020 election as an investigation into voting is showing. When Democrat Governor of California faced recall, he insisted on signatures being checked and 20% of signatures were fouled off. But during the 2020 Presidential election, some states did not check voter signatures. 

It is now being revealed by former Biden staffers that Biden is a Malcolm Turnbull type talent. He hesitates and pontificates but holds onto the power of saying 'no' well past the time a 'yes' might be practicable. Before Biden implements policy that he thought of, he is implementing policy that others preached, and that failed others. This failed policy is getting people killed in the Middle East, and denying workers jobs at home. Kudos to the forty two million Biden voters who voted twice. 

How is the press covering the Biden fiasco? By reporting that AOC had an ugly confrontation with a congress woman she publicly attacked? Marjorie Taylor Greene is correct in saying AOC has endorsed the murderous terrorists of 'Palestine' over the government and peoples of Israel? 

Or maybe the press are ignoring Biden's failure and focusing on the antics of Elon Musk?  


Editorial Cricket Australia's Ball tampering fail

The treatment of Australia's cricket elite over a professional foul of ball tampering was absurd. A player cheated badly and as a result management was cleaned out and the Captain and Vice Captain were hung out to dry. Instead of a match fee being removed from guilty parties, innocent parties resigned, and senior players were ousted for years from the sport and lost $millions. For trying to wear out one side of a cricket ball during play when the ball was playing dead. In other similar incidents players don't face any sanctions. 

Recently, the incumbent Australian captain who has led a weakened side weakly has admitted that the former captain should get his job back. And then the press inflate a 'confession' from the cricketer who committed the foul. What will the press do when they find out about Biden's involvement with the downing of MH 17 in Ukraine? We may never know. 

Actor Craig McLachlan was brutally attacked by press over allegations he was innocent. But the press are persevering with trying to destroy his career forever. 


Editorial Press harassing Israel as Israel defends herself from WMD

Israelis are facing tens of thousand of rocket attacks as terroristt celebrate Biden's 2020 election fraud. 

On May15th, Journalists against Israel 'report' on grim death toll and UN opinion favouring terrorists. We are told that there was a horror moment when Israeli police raided a home with human shields being active for terrorists. Israel collapsed tunnels which had housed high explosives. 

On May 16th we read that two press agencies, AP and Al Jazeera were using their home base in the conflict to shelter those launching missiles. "They’re not going to get weapons. They’re going to get their cameras and their work gear,” he said." "Moments later, hundreds of journalists watched their office be reduced to rubble after the Israeli army launched an air strike against it, demolishing the 13-floor building in the Gaza Strip." Apparently the life work of journalists is now to shield terrorists from retribution? 

The next day, press again report among fatalities of human shields used by terrorists to protect military targets. Only we don't know that that is what happened at all. In the past, journalists have staged things to look like atrocities. 

As Fatah's leader clings to power decades after a fraudulent election win, Press denounce Benjamin Netanyahu of clinging to power. 


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?

Here is a video I made Say This City Has Ten Million Souls 

Wystan Hugh Auden (21 February 1907 -- 29 September 1973, pronounced /ˈwɪstən ˈhjuː ˈɔːdən/) who signed his works W. H. Auden, was an Anglo-American poet, born in England, later an American citizen, regarded by many as one of the greatest writers of the 20th century. His work is noted for its stylistic and technical achievements, its engagement with moral and political issues, and its variety of tone, form and content. The central themes of his poetry are love, politics and citizenship, religion and morals, and the relationship between unique human beings and the anonymous, impersonal world of nature.

Say this city has ten million souls,
Some are living in mansions, some are living in holes:
Yet there's no place for us, my dear, yet there's no place for us.

Once we had a country and we thought it fair,
Look in the atlas and you'll find it there:
We cannot go there now, my dear, we cannot go there now.

In the village churchyard there grows an old yew,
Every spring it blossoms anew:
Old passports can't do that, my dear, old passports can't do that.

The consul banged the table and said,
"If you've got no passport you're officially dead":
But we are still alive, my dear, but we are still alive.

Went to a committee; they offered me a chair;
Asked me politely to return next year:
But where shall we go to-day, my dear, but where shall we go to-day?

Came to a public meeting; the speaker got up and said;
"If we let them in, they will steal our daily bread":
He was talking of you and me, my dear, he was talking of you and me.

Thought I heard the thunder rumbling in the sky;
It was Hitler over Europe, saying, "They must die":
O we were in his mind, my dear, O we were in his mind.

Saw a poodle in a jacket fastened with a pin,
Saw a door opened and a cat let in:
But they weren't German Jews, my dear, but they weren't German Jews.

Went down the harbour and stood upon the quay,
Saw the fish swimming as if they were free:
Only ten feet away, my dear, only ten feet away.

Walked through a wood, saw the birds in the trees;
They had no politicians and sang at their ease:
They weren't the human race, my dear, they weren't the human race.

Dreamed I saw a building with a thousand floors,
A thousand windows and a thousand doors:
Not one of them was ours, my dear, not one of them was ours.

Stood on a great plain in the falling snow;
Ten thousand soldiers marched to and fro:
Looking for you and me, my dear, looking for you and me.

Don't give up on hope. Confirmation has arrived that Tommy Robinson's arrest was legitimate. He had been live FB broadcasting witnesses, victims and alleged abusers to a court case where there was a presumption of innocence. The result of his action was victims of crime who would expect privacy and rely on it to lead a normal life, not having the resources that Tommy has, would not have had privacy and would never have received justice. Such contempt of court process cannot be tolerated. Tommy talks of Islamic criminals living lawlessly, and it weakens any case he has that he behaves so disgracefully. He was not being brave, heroic or helpful. 

Roseanne Barr has had her top rating tv show cancelled after tweeting comedy. Snowflakes are hyperventilating that a member of the swamp has been called a monkey. Since when do snowflakes hyperventilate, you ask? Since Soros received a broadside tweet too, regarding his survival of the holocaust at the expense of others? It was a popular show, not owned by Soros, but Soros has a reach that extends beyond the law and includes the swamp. Had Roseanne insulted Trump similarly she might have expected to host the White House correspondents dinner in 2019 (via TYGRRRR Express).

China is facing trade hurdles with the US after failing to guarantee property rights. Barnaby Joyce has done much for Australia, with the 100 dams project doing more for Australia's future than any other infrastructure project. But Joyce was offside of Malcolm Turnbull who has no achievement in office. Fans of the PM are overstating any shortcoming Joyce has. Joyce got paid for an interview, with money quarantined for his son. People with no right to be, are upset. What Joyce has been paid is less than 1% of Malcolm Turnbull's earnings from being a parasite. How can Turnbull show his face in public? Turnbull should resign from politics now.

Some things should not happen, but they do. The Irish rebellion of 1798 had begun many years earlier. British rule was secular, in that they disenfranchised Catholics and non Anglican Protestants equally. A result being many ambitious young served the empire and made names for themselves abroad. One French revolutionary was Wolf Tone, who attempted to land in Ireland with a force of fourteen thousand veterans in 1796, but could not land because of a freak storm. In 1798, Tone landed three thousand men, and joined wth locals, but was overwhelmed. Sentenced to be hanged, after a firing squad was declined, Tone cut his own throat. Tone had provided the model of left wing newspapers everywhere who would rather not report in a balanced way. Atrocities in Ireland were committed, and some recorded. It was not idealism, but power. The people wanted freedom, but were only given a choice of servitude.  

North Korea is embarrassing China who may soon be forced into action, to pre empt the US acting. Australia is to increase her presence in Afghanistan. This follows Turnbull not being more popular after the latest tax and spend budget. But to be fair, the budget is not the problem. 

In 363, the Roman emperor Julian defeated the Sassanid army in the Battle of Ctesiphon, under the walls of the Sassanid capital, but was unable to take the city. Julian died soon after, of wounds. The Sassanid's were a pre Islamic Iranian empire. 1108, Battle of UclésAlmoravid troops under the command of Tamim ibn Yusuf defeated a Castile and León alliance under the command of Prince Sancho Alfónsez1167, Battle of Monte Porzio – A Roman army supporting Pope Alexander III was defeated by Christian of Buch and Rainald of Dassel. Ten thousand poorly armed Romans faced against 1500 well armed troops of the Empire. Rome lost badly, called by some a second Cannae. 1176, Battle of Legnano: The Lombard League defeated Emperor Frederick I. Nine years after the clash with Rome, the empire was weakened. An even fight saw the empire lose. 1414, Council of Constance was held which would last until 1418. It's main aim was to work out who was the real Pope and to execute a good man, Hus. It was successful. 1453, Fall of ConstantinopleOttoman armies under Sultan Mehmed II Fatih captured Constantinople after a 53-day siege, ending the Byzantine Empire. The first use of cannon. 

In 1660, English RestorationCharles II was restored to the throne of EnglandScotland and Ireland. 1677, Treaty of Middle Plantation established peace between the Virginia colonists and the local Natives. 1727, Peter II became Czar of Russia. 1733, the right of Canadians to keep Indian slaves was upheld at Quebec City. 1780, American Revolutionary War: At the Battle of Waxhaws, the British continued attacking after the Continentals laid down their arms, killing 113 and critically wounding all but 53 that remained. 1798, United Irishmen Rebellion: Between 300 and 500 United Irishmen were massacred by the British Army in County Kildare, Ireland. 

1852, Jenny Lind left New York after her two-year American tour. She was called the "Swedish Nightingale" and was very popular around the world. 1867, the Austro-Hungarian Compromise of 1867 ("the Compromise") was born through Act 12, which established the Austro-Hungarian Empire. 1868, the assassination of Michael Obrenovich III, Prince of Serbia, in Belgrade. 1886, the pharmacist John Pemberton placed his first advertisement for Coca-Cola, which appeared in The Atlanta Journal1903, in the May coup d'étatAlexander I, King of Serbia, and Queen Draga, were assassinated in Belgrade by the Black Hand (Crna Ruka) organisation. Another step had been made towards WWI. 1913, Igor Stravinsky's ballet score The Rite of Spring received its premiere performance in Paris, France, provoking a riot as a young girl danced herself to death (in story) on stage. 1919, Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity was tested (later confirmed) by Arthur Eddington and Andrew Claude de la Cherois Crommelin, based on observations of a solar eclipse.

In 1931, Michele Schirru, a citizen of the United States, was executed by Italian military firing squad for intent to kill Benito Mussolini. Michele was an anarchist. 1932, World War I veterans began to assemble in Washington, D.C., in the Bonus Army to request cash bonuses promised to them to be paid in 1945. FDR was a shallow man, and he claimed to be shocked that General MacArthur was prepared to use tans to clear the mob. MacArthur was transferred to the Philippines and denied aid at the start of WW2, allowing the Philippines to fall. 1942, Bing Crosby, the Ken Darby Singers and John Scott Trotter and his Orchestra record Irving Berlin's White Christmas, the best-selling single in history. 1953, Edmund Hillary and Sherpa Tenzing Norgay became the first people to reach the summit of Mount Everest, on Tenzing Norgay's (adopted) 39th birthday. In 1964, the Arab League met in East Jerusalem to discuss the Palestinian question, leading to the formation of the Palestine Liberation Organization. The PLO was created as a terrorist organisation and popularised aircraft hostage taking as well as assassination and indiscriminate bombing. 1993, the Miss Sarajevo beauty pageant was held in war torn Sarajevo drawing global attention to the plight of its citizens.

Today is the anniversary of the Arab League (1964) creating the terrorist group Palestinian Liberation Organisation which went on to hijack planes, hijack ships, attack the Olympic Games and kill hostages, attack Israel, and create suicide bombers. Going back fifteen years or so, Pakistan and Israel came into being at about the same time. Pakistan has more people and gets more aid, and has more land. Pakistan's population density is 234 per square km, compared to Israel's 387 per square km. But the UN wants Israeli land for terrorists. The population of Pakistan nears 200 million. Israel is a little over 8 million. Israel's population includes Islamic peoples who prosper in Israel's democratic society. Some become members of the Israeli legislative body. In Pakistan, people are killed for not being Islam, or being the wrong type of Islam. Both are rumoured to have nuclear weapons, but only Pakistan has tried to arm North Korea and Iran with nuclear weapons. But in administrative terms it is interesting to see how the populations have fared. GDP per capita for Pakistan is about $1.3k pa, while in Israel is about $38k. The standard of living is much better for all people in Israel. 

In religious terms, Israel is secular. Which is why all peoples can prosper there. Jewish custom is respected. Pakistan's state religion is Islam. Some minor Sharia courts routinely put people to death for reasons related to Islam. There is no other Jewish nation to compare Israel, but there are many Islamic nations to compare Pakistan, and Pakistan does ok compared to other Islamic nations, but abysmally despite natural resources and population. Israel compares well with any nation in the world. She is smart, innovative and a good citizen. There never was an Islamic state called Palestine. Rome once called the ancient Jewish land Palestine.

Today's Old Testament reading: 2 Chronicles 4-6

The Temple's Furnishings
He made a bronze altar twenty cubits long, twenty cubits wide and ten cubits high. 2 He made the Sea of cast metal, circular in shape, measuring ten cubits from rim to rim and five cubits high. It took a line of thirty cubits to measure around it. 3Below the rim, figures of bulls encircled it--ten to a cubit. The bulls were cast in two rows in one piece with the Sea....

Today's New Testament reading: John 10:24-42

24 The Jews who were there gathered around him, saying, "How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Messiah, tell us plainly."

25 Jesus answered, "I did tell you, but you do not believe. The works I do in my Father's name testify about me, 26but you do not believe because you are not my sheep. 27 My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. 28 I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand. 29 My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father's hand. 30 I and the Father are one."

Morning

"Whom he justified, them he also glorified."
Romans 8:30
Here is a precious truth for thee, believer. Thou mayest be poor, or in suffering, or unknown, but for thine encouragement take a review of thy "calling" and the consequences that flow from it, and especially that blessed result here spoken of. As surely as thou art God's child today, so surely shall all thy trials soon be at an end, and thou shalt be rich to all the intents of bliss. Wait awhile, and that weary head shall wear the crown of glory, and that hand of labour shall grasp the palm-branch of victory. Lament not thy troubles, but rather rejoice that ere long thou wilt be where "there shall be neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain." The chariots of fire are at thy door, and a moment will suffice to bear thee to the glorified. The everlasting song is almost on thy lip. The portals of heaven stand open for thee. Think not that thou canst fail of entering into rest. If he hath called thee, nothing can divide thee from his love. Distress cannot sever the bond; the fire of persecution cannot burn the link; the hammer of hell cannot break the chain. Thou art secure; that voice which called thee at first, shall call thee yet again from earth to heaven, from death's dark gloom to immortality's unuttered splendours. Rest assured, the heart of him who has justified thee beats with infinite love towards thee. Thou shalt soon be with the glorified, where thy portion is; thou art only waiting here to be made meet for the inheritance, and that done, the wings of angels shall waft thee far away, to the mount of peace, and joy, and blessedness, where,
"Far from a world of grief and sin,
With God eternally shut in,"
thou shalt rest forever and ever.

Evening

"This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope."
Lamentations 3:21

Memory is frequently the bond slave of despondency. Dispairing minds call to remembrance every dark foreboding in the past, and dilate upon every gloomy feature in the present; thus memory, clothed in sackcloth, presents to the mind a cup of mingled gall and wormwood. There is, however, no necessity for this. Wisdom can readily transform memory into an angel of comfort. That same recollection which in its left hand brings so many gloomy omens, may be trained to bear in its right a wealth of hopeful signs. She need not wear a crown of iron, she may encircle her brow with a fillet of gold, all spangled with stars. Thus it was in Jeremiah's experience: in the previous verse memory had brought him to deep humiliation of soul: "My soul hath them still in remembrance, and is humbled in me;" and now this same memory restored him to life and comfort. "This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope." Like a two-edged sword, his memory first killed his pride with one edge, and then slew his despair with the other. As a general principle, if we would exercise our memories more wisely, we might, in our very darkest distress, strike a match which would instantaneously kindle the lamp of comfort. There is no need for God to create a new thing upon the earth in order to restore believers to joy; if they would prayerfully rake the ashes of the past, they would find light for the present; and if they would turn to the book of truth and the throne of grace, their candle would soon shine as aforetime. Be it ours to remember the lovingkindness of the Lord, and to rehearse his deeds of grace. Let us open the volume of recollection which is so richly illuminated with memorials of mercy, and we shall soon be happy. Thus memory may be, as Coleridge calls it, "the bosom-spring of joy," and when the Divine Comforter bends it to his service, it may be chief among earthly comforters.

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)
