Editorial Lockdowns made COVID worse
A report into Melbourne's 3rd COVID lockdown showed bureaucrat incompetence caused it. Had a young family not been restricted to a COVID zone in a hotel quarantine then the outbreak would not have occurred. Since Victoria first went into COVID lockdown for a 'few weeks to flatten the curve' a series of escalating lockdowns which have been ineffective have been implemented. Bureaucrats may claim that their efforts have meant the world has not ended. Evidence shows lockdowns have not helped. The more we know about COVID the more apparent it is that the best treatment is early detection and a simple course of drugs for the worst afflicted. Face masks have not helped. Isolation en masse has not helped.
We are told one of the worst symptoms of COVID is racism. It is a very old problem, pre existing the virus, or the laboratory which created it. Racism of the type which had Prince Charles disown his first son, before marrying his mother? Racism of the type which had a BLM activist abuse the judicial system to lock up a police officer? ASIO is addressing this serious racism. They have decided that blaming conservatives for the activity of radicals will cure AGW inspired racism.
Meanwhile, honour killing seems to have re emerged in Pakistan. In Perth, a 17 yo girl is facing charges for importing heroin from China. 22kgs of it. But for racism, she might have been rich.
Editorial Rwandan Genocide update
At the time, in 1994, Bill Clinton was being beaten up for being the failure he is. Clinton got saved in 1994 when Newt Gingrich and GOP took Congress and turned America around. Rwanda happened before then, and Clinton was desperate not to interfere in Africa, or Europe. Clinton ceded authority to the UN in Rwanda and to NATO in Serbia. In each case Clinton's leadership increased violence for innocent victims, like Tutsis caught in a Hutu civil war and Yugoslavs in a fractious Serbian escalation. UN peacekeepers went into Rwanda late, while NATO started bombing targets, like Serbian command tents which had been forewarned.
At the time, France had supplied Rwanda militarily, and now senior officers are being targeted for what was political policy. When the left wing run government, it sucks to be in service.

California Leaving: State Population Declines for First Time
California's population fell by more than 182,000 last year, the first yearly loss ever recorded for the nation's most populous state, a growth streak that dated to its founding in 1850 on the heels of a gold rush that prompted a flood of people to seek their fortune in the...... [Full Story]

George Herbert (3 April 1593 -- 1 March 1633) was a Welsh poet, orator and Anglican priest. Being born into an artistic and wealthy family, he received a good education which led to his holding prominent positions at Cambridge University and Parliament. As a student at Trinity College, Cambridge, England, George Herbert excelled in languages and music. He went to college with the intention of becoming a priest, but his scholarship attracted the attention of King James I/VI. Herbert served in parliament for two years. After the death of King James and at the urging of a friend, Herbert's interest in ordained ministry was renewed. In 1630, in his late thirties he gave up his secular ambitions and took holy orders in the Church of England, spending the rest of his life as a rector of the little parish of Fugglestone St Peter with Bemerton St Andrew, near Salisbury. He was noted for unfailing care for his parishioners, bringing the sacraments to them when they were ill, and providing food and clothing for those in need. Throughout his life he wrote religious poems characterized by a precision of language, a metrical versatility, and an ingenious use of imagery or conceits that was favoured by the metaphysical school of poets. Charles Cotton described him as a "soul composed of harmonies". Herbert himself, in a letter to Nicholas Ferrar said of his writings, "they are a picture of spiritual conflicts between God and my soul before I could subject my will to Jesus, my Master" . Some of Herbert's poems have endured as hymns, including "King of Glory, King of Peace" (Praise), "Let All the World in Every Corner Sing" (Antiphon) and "Teach me, my God and King" (The Elixir) . A distant relative is the modern Polish poet Zbigniew Herbert.

Love bade me welcome. Yet my soul drew back
Guilty of dust and sin.
But quick-eyed Love, observing me grow slack
From my first entrance in,
Drew nearer to me, sweetly questioning,
If I lacked any thing.
A guest, I answered, worthy to be here:
Love said, You shall be he.
I the unkind, ungrateful? Ah my dear,
I cannot look on thee.
Love took my hand, and smiling did reply,
Who made the eyes but I?
Truth Lord, but I have marred them: let my shame
Go where it doth deserve.
And know you not, says Love, who bore the blame?
My dear, then I will serve.
You must sit down, says Love, and taste my meat:
So I did sit and eat.

Don't give up on hope. The Australian Federal budget was released today and predictably vested interests in news media continued to slag it. It is not a perfect budget, but a serviceable one. Treasurer Scott Morrison has done what the ALP claimed was impossible, bringing forward the date for a balanced budget. To be fair, were ALP to be in government soon, it would be impossible to balance the budget because of their high spending policy. Government spending is still unsustainably high, partly because ALP block spending cuts in the senate, along with so called independents and Greens. In opposition, ALP and Greens block the same. In government, ALP and Greens are allies. Critics were careful to blame Morrison and not Turnbull. Not long ago, they blamed Hockey too, when Turnbull wanted them to. Turnbull wants AMP leaders to resign for the same reason he should.
A house was trashed in Melbourne while police looked on. The owner demanded action but the house had been short leased by people who had a party there. I got another related story. In 2016 I went to Melbourne to find work. I have done nothing wrong but cannot work in NSW. I moved to Hallam and shared accommodation with people from Afghanistan and one guy from Mauritius. The Afghan refugees were decent people, but the Mauritian had issues with drugs and had hooked up with a prostitute who was encouraging him to expand his use of drugs. He had been working productively, but when I'd moved in, he'd taken up ice. We got off on the wrong foot when he objected to my belongings being placed in the back yard, as they did not fit into my room. Over the next month, things deteriorated. He was often drunk and abusive.
That year, 2016, Afghan New Year came with Easter, and the Afghan housemates were away, leaving me alone with the Ice user. The Landlord had had enough, and after the ice user assaulted a former tenant, got police to come to the residence to help evict the tenant. Police intervened saying the ice user, a registered sex offender pedophile they knew, had to stay until a set eviction date. The tenant agreed. But that was Tuesday night. By Friday he'd spent the night in jail, lost his job, assaulted the former tenant etc etc. He threatened to kill me and had me cornered in my room behind a locked door on Good Friday. His daughter refused to see him. As he began irrationally yelling and kicking my door I called emergency. They did not respond and I called the landlord who drove over and waited outside. We called emergency several times over the evening. They responded at 5am after the Ice user had begun to quiet down. They asked me "When he hadn't killed you last night, why did you keep calling?" I explained I was unused to the behaviour.
He had destroyed the lock and door. Police escorted me from the premises as they could not guarantee my safety, or prevent him from assaulting me at will. The landlord, Afghan, let me stay at his place over the weekend. The Ice user vandalised the place over the weekend, writing notes he had caused $200k damage (He hadn't, but it was over $10k and landlord was not insured). Police got special response officers to arrest the ice user on the Tuesday. I was allowed to move back. But police could not hold the Ice user and he broke and entered the broken premises several times in subsequent weeks. That is Dan Andrews Victoria.
I understand police took the view they had to protect the ice user's reputation from it being widely known he was a pedophile. The courts waited a week and then insisted on mediation. They promised a protective order could be made permanent .. they lied. While he was breaking in again, he stayed to shower one morning, 5am. Police came and let him finish his shower. After he finished, he confronted police who said he should go quietly. He went to his room to "collect my stuff" which I think was code for his stash. His prostitute girlfriend walked inside and police ordered her out. He collected some more of his things later we left in his shed so he did not have to break back in again. I believe police were using him as an informant. I saw him six months later on my way to markets. He saw me too. We avoided each other, but passed by a few metres.
I got lucky with a FB friend .. former refugee from Vietnam and family man. I help tutor the kids and pay rent .. heaven.

James Bolt from IPA has highlighted a decision of a committee to laud Australia's Human Rights Council President Gillian Triggs with their Voltaire free speech award. "Gillian Triggs, who last month said "sadly you can say what you like around the kitchen table", on Tuesday received Liberty Victoria's Voltaire Award for her commitment to freedom of speech. As Morgan Begg said in The Spectator Australia today, "by awarding a free speech prize to Triggs, Liberty Victoria not only makes a mockery of Voltaire, but also of themselves."" It would be difficult to find someone less deserving of that award. Who else in Australia has censored free speech of a journalist reporting on an issue of public interest? Who else has destroyed the careers of university students for pointing out segregation is wrong? Who else has hounded a political comic to death? My sister once asked the question, "Who is more free? Children in detention or Andrew Bolt?" Maybe my sister will get that award next year?
Some things should not happen, but they do. Sophocles had predicted the France Presidential election with his great work, Oedipus Rex. The other weak alternative failed to ignite conservative voters who were not impressed with anti semitism, with protectionist economic policy or extreme right wing ideology. But it was a French election and so it is no surprise that no conservative was in the contest. The winner was Hollande, whose protege takes the reigns after the ruins of last term. Meanwhile in Australia, Mark Latham, former leader of the federal ALP has been booted from it after he joined the Liberal Democrats, a Libertarian mob. Latham is willing to engage in culture wars and stand for smaller government and free speech. It is interesting because Latham is the protege of Gough Whitlam. The Whitlam cult have diverged even from Whitlam's strong left wing position. The new extremist ALP are even further to the left, agonising over an advert where minorities were not represented. An ALP advert. The ALP is the party of choice for minorities wishing to be exploited.

World War II ended in Europe on this day in 1945. A war that began as WWI was finished, with a victory that was ruined by compromise and self interest. An incompetent US administration that cared as little for the outcome as it did the loss of US lives in achieving it. Churchill was absent, rehabilitating his career after Gallipoli. Churchill was not doing little, he was instrumental in supporting Poland and stabilising the economies of Europe under the "Ten Year" rule, in which the premise was, war would not be fought in Europe for ten years following WWI. It meant that Herbert Hoover could be contracted as a civil engineer to feed Germany. But angry xenophobes like Hitler flourished in a culture which had become morally loose. But it wasn't loose morals that caused WWII. Britain was entrusted with Palestine, and failed in her duty, for which the world teeters today, because Israel should have it all. As a bloodied and broken Europe welcomed peace again, in 1945, war weary sailors in Halifax began looting. During the war, Halifax's population had doubled, but her services had not. Soon, the UK would elect a Labor Government which would badly run the union. But today, in 2015, it looks like a sensible conservative government will lead, following election. Left wing Scottish Nationals have eaten the heart of British Labor in Scotland, but offer nothing which wasn't already covered by a Labor administration which had said, on leaving government at the last election "There is nothing left in treasury."
In 1946, Estonian school girls Aili Jõgi and Ageeda Paavel blew up the Soviet memorial which stood in front of the Bronze Soldier in Tallinn.

For the Bolt Report Supporter's Group. I like to foster debate, not abuse. It matters nothing to me if you dislike someone. But if you have something to contribute, that is wonderful. It doesn't matter if you don't agree with me on anything. I am a Christian, conservative and I despise extremism that devalues human dignity. I'm not generally a social conservative. I generally embrace libertarian values and favour secular administration. What I choose to do I choose to do, not because it's the law, but because I try to model my attitudes. Some new members do not know what is expected of them. Recently, my admin team were begged to list rules and codes of behaviour. That is not going to happen. There are rules, but like laws, you have a choice to make and that means what you say and do is more important. You are responsible for your own behaviour. It is too hard to fish people out of the block list, so don't go there. I will block people who are being abusive or bullying. Maybe you find someone who doesn't belong? You can block them, or you can go .. One thing I learned working in one of the world's most successful multi cultural high schools is that a culture of learning is fostered, not enforced. Play to your strengths. I apologise I don't have the time to devote to every thread or individual. But, you are welcome to participate in any and all. The admin team try to find things worthwhile, make yourself known to them. They are busy too, but enjoy fostering the fandom of Andrew Bolt. Phil Box, John Tran, Mandy McLean and Stephanie Carroll are the champions who contribute to making the site great, just like you.

Antoine-Laurent de Lavoisier was a polymath genius. Born 1743, he was rich and well schooled. He became a lawyer, but never practiced. Today, he is remembered as the father of modern chemistry. He was one of the committee of writers who created SI units. And when one is successful, others become jealous. One very bad man was Jean-Paul Marat. Marat was a left wing journalist who denounced Lavoisier as selling adulterated tobacco. Marat was executed soon after by someone who did not sympathise with his rhetoric on human rights, but the smear remained for over a year. On one day, today, in 1794, Lavoisier was branded a traitor, tried, convicted and guillotined. He was guilty of being a genius.

Another injustice was the Jack Cade rebellion of 1450 against Henry VI. Henry was a weak king and wealthy people got upset at being highly taxed, and losing French Normandy. We don't know much about Jack, who died in the rebellion. The upset rebels went to London and began looting there, just as Occupy protestors do today. The civil war that ensued with Yorkists vying for power with Lancastrians was related to the unrest of such Occupy protests.

The LORD's Judgment on Ahaziah
1 After Ahab's death, Moab rebelled against Israel. 2 Now Ahaziah had fallen through the lattice of his upper room in Samaria and injured himself. So he sent messengers, saying to them, "Go and consult Baal-Zebub, the god of Ekron, to see if I will recover from this injury...."
Today's New Testament reading: Luke 24:1-35
Jesus Has Risen
1 On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb. 2 They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, 3 but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. 4 While they were wondering about this, suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like lightning stood beside them. 5In their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, "Why do you look for the living among the dead? 6 He is not here; he has risen! Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee: 7 'The Son of Man must be delivered over to the hands of sinners, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.' " 8Then they remembered his words....

Morning
What a mass of hideous sickness must have thrust itself under the eye of Jesus! Yet we read not that he was disgusted, but patiently waited on every case. What a singular variety of evils must have met at his feet! What sickening ulcers and putrefying sores! Yet he was ready for every new shape of the monster evil, and was victor over it in every form. Let the arrow fly from what quarter it might, he quenched its fiery power. The heat of fever, or the cold of dropsy; the lethargy of palsy, or the rage of madness; the filth of leprosy, or the darkness of ophthalmia--all knew the power of his word, and fled at his command. In every corner of the field he was triumphant over evil, and received the homage of delivered captives. He came, he saw, he conquered everywhere. It is even so this morning. Whatever my own case may be, the beloved Physician can heal me; and whatever may be the state of others whom I may remember at this moment in prayer, I may have hope in Jesus that he will be able to heal them of their sins. My child, my friend, my dearest one, I can have hope for each, for all, when I remember the healing power of my Lord; and on my own account, however severe my struggle with sins and infirmities, I may yet be of good cheer. He who on earth walked the hospitals, still dispenses his grace, and works wonders among the sons of men: let me go to him at once in right earnest.
Let me praise him, this morning, as I remember how he wrought his spiritual cures, which bring him most renown. It was by taking upon himself our sicknesses. "By his stripes we are healed." The Church on earth is full of souls healed by our beloved Physician; and the inhabitants of heaven itself confess that "He healed them all." Come, then, my soul, publish abroad the virtue of his grace, and let it be "to the Lord for a name, for an everlasting sign which shall not be cut off."
Evening
Like many others, the impotent man had been waiting for a wonder to be wrought, and a sign to be given. Wearily did he watch the pool, but no angel came, or came not for him; yet, thinking it to be his only chance, he waited still, and knew not that there was One near him whose word could heal him in a moment. Many are in the same plight: they are waiting for some singular emotion, remarkable impression, or celestial vision; they wait in vain and watch for nought. Even supposing that, in a few cases, remarkable signs are seen, yet these are rare, and no man has a right to look for them in his own case; no man especially who feels his impotency to avail himself of the moving of the water even if it came. It is a very sad reflection that tens of thousands are now waiting in the use of means, and ordinances, and vows, and resolutions, and have so waited time out of mind, in vain, utterly in vain. Meanwhile these poor souls forget the present Saviour, who bids them look unto him and be saved. He could heal them at once, but they prefer to wait for an angel and a wonder. To trust him is the sure way to every blessing, and he is worthy of the most implicit confidence; but unbelief makes them prefer the cold porches of Bethesda to the warm bosom of his love. O that the Lord may turn his eye upon the multitudes who are in this case tonight; may he forgive the slights which they put upon his divine power, and call them by that sweet constraining voice, to rise from the bed of despair, and in the energy of faith take up their bed and walk. O Lord, hear our prayer for all such at this calm hour of sunset, and ere the day breaketh may they look and live.
Courteous reader, is there anything in this portion for you?

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)
