Editorial Did Woke Tolerance result in domestic murder?
A man has been sentenced to thirty years jail in Victoria, Australia for domestic homicide he forced his children to watch. His children had been so badly neglected they weren't educated well enough to speak of their trauma. The man is an Islamic State supporter and in 2016 he murdered his wife in ffront of his children, showing them his removing an eye and flushing it down a toilet before dumping the body to be found in a leisure area. The killing followed a code set out in the mythology of those who follow Islamic State, or those who read western media promoting the ideal. But there had been warning signs leading up to the killing too. A Victorian court heard evidence of how the husband and killer had prevented family from contacting the victim and the abuse which rendered the children permanently incapacitated. Now the court will not name the killer so as to 'protect' the family? Why not simply jail Cardinal George Pell again? Or maybe cancel the Dr Blake Mysteries again?

Domestic violence in Australia is rife in the Islamic community, but not contained to the Islamic community and it is not everywhere in the Islamic community. It is reprehensible that Islamic peoples do not more vociferously condemn those who claim to act on Islam and bring Islam into disrepute.

In Sydney another court fail resulted in a lost family as a father had court support in tracking down and killing his estranged children. The mother had filed an AVO against the dad, but the police had negligently discounted the application by linking it to an ambit claim in a court case. By following his daughter home from school, and killing her, the dad proved those police wrong. The mother has since suicided. How can that family be protected by a woke court now? Maybe the police will investigate more closely the conservative government? That seems to be the go to call.

Here is a video I made Shepherds Hut

Andrew John Young (29 April 1885 -- November 25, 1971) was a Scottish poet and clergyman. His status as a poet was recognised quite late and he received the Queen's Gold Medal for Poetry in 1952.

The smear of blue peat smoke
That staggered on the wind and broke,
The only sign of life,
Where was the shepherd’s wife,
Who left those flapping clothes to dry,
Taking no thought for her family?
For, as they bellied out
And limbs took shape and waved about,
I thought, She little knows
That ghosts are trying on her children’s clothes.

Don't give up on hope. Roseanne Barr is a comedienne who can say whatever she likes to motivate her audience. Trump is my President and Trump believes peace is the prize. The left can prevent Roseanne from having her show. The swamp cannot be allowed to succeed against Trump.

Caroline Glick's report on intersectional leftwing activity is powerful. And, while the international left wing have been slow to adopt such activity, fascists have been employing it for decades. Historical antecedents of intersectional behaviour may be observed in the French Revolution and Napoleon's rise to power. Napoleon's response when it was reversed to garner support in Austria against him was telling "Tell them to give him a fair trial, then shoot him." There is no logical reasoning supporting the ungainly structure of various minorities gathering together under a collective umbrella, but the machine works thanks to 'useful idiots.' It is illustrative to view the disparate but widespread support for Tommy Robinson. Tommy is a fool with a long rap sheet, but his supporters call him a hero who is revealing a truth. The truth Tommy allegedly revealed is that Islamo Fascist pedophiles have a large number of times perpetrated substantial numbers of victims with tacit support of UK Police, Social Workers and mainly left wing politicians. The reason for the success of such pedophiles is racism among authorities leading them to turn a blind eye to the abuses. The reason such groups have been wound up is because of good police work that followed up despite being ordered not to. Racism has been the problem, not the solution. Tommy calling random people names because they are Muslim does not address the issue in opposing Islamo Fascism. Neither does Tommy creating mistrials from abusing court process, address the issues. The police did Tommy a favour by arresting him when they did so he did not do more damage. The judge that dealt with Tommy was right to gag the useful idiots even though Tommy pled guilty quickly as soon as he realised how counter productive he had been. But Tommy won't give up. Tommy really is an idiot.

I have stood up to the intersectional machine Glick describes. It is insidious, nasty and everything that fascism is. ANTIFA are fascists. Pedophiles, through intersectional alliances, league with left wing political parties, organised labour movements, terrorism, drug lords, OMCG (outlaw motor cycle gangs) and social conservatives in strange alliance. But for them, I'd still be teaching and Hamidur Rahman would still be alive and achieving well. Tommy is part of the intersectional gang preventing conservatives from a clear run in office.

IPA Review May 2018 is out and James Bolt reports on banning UK children from touching snow. UK schoolteachers, leftwing advocates, need another tool for dealing with things. The tired old model of banning guns in USA comes to mind. That hasn't worked either. This ineffective exercise in control is teaching children to despise and disregard school authority. The argument that it is all fun and games until someone loses an eye loses out to children who have no experience of anyone losing an eye. And to a child humiliated by a snowball attack, an inability to fight back within the rules teaches a powerful unintended lesson.

Some things should not happen, but they do. In 1972, West Germany ransomed hostages taken by so called Palestinians for 5 million dollars. Lufthansa flight 649 took of on 22nd February that year. The attack took place on the 3rd stop over, leaving Delhi for Athens at 1 am. They landed in Yemen and negotiated with West Germany, who owned the aircraft. On board was a hostage (19 yo) Joseph Kennedy, son of Robert Kennedy. The money was paid and no one died. But the Palestinian terrorists had the money to spend, and on 30th May 1972, the Lod Airport Massacre resulted. Palestinian terrorists had bought Japanese Red Army to engage in a suicide mission. It was bungled. A much larger attack had been planned, but only the three Japanese Red Army did their thing and killed 26 and wounded 80. Two JRA died, but one, Kōzō Okamoto, survived. The survivor was sentenced by Israel to life in jail, but thirteen years later was traded for Israeli soldiers captured by terrorists. In 1973, Okamoto had claimed he had become Jewish in captivity and attempted to circumcise himself with nail clippers. After release, Okamoto went to Libya, then Syria, Then Lebanon. He had not really converted. He rejoined JRA in Lebanon. Lebanon gave political asylum to Okamoto, who claimed Israel had tortured him. North Korea had helped facilitate the Lod Massacre.

In 70, Siege of Jerusalem: Titus and his Roman legions breached the Second Wall of Jerusalem. The Jewish defenders retreated to the First Wall. The Romans built a circumvallation, cutting down all trees within fifteen kilometres. 1381, beginning of the Peasants' Revolt in England. The peasants wanted lower taxes and an end to serfdom. They felt the free labour of serfdom impinged on their ability to work. As economists, the peasants were better than todays Australian Labour Party. John Ball had preached towards their rebellion, and so John was hanged, drawn and quartered. The king was no gentleman, although his reign spanned the kingdom. 1416, the Council of Constance, called by Emperor Sigismund, a supporter of Antipope John XXIII, burned Jerome of Prague following a trial for heresy. Jerome had promised Hus protection, but Hus had been burned at the stake. So Jerome was tortured and then burned at the stake too. The Catholic Church has since changed her mind on the issues Jerome raised. 1431, Hundred Years' War: In Rouen, France, the 19-year-old Joan of Arc was burned at the stake by an English-dominated tribunal. The Roman Catholic Church remembers this day as the celebration of Saint Joan of Arc. 1434, Hussite Wars: Battle of Lipany: Effectively ending the war, Utraquist forces led by Diviš Bořek of Miletínek defeated and almost annihilated Taborite forces led by Prokop the Great.

1536, King Henry VIII of England married Jane Seymour, a lady-in-waiting to his first two wives. Jane had everything Henry wanted, except a long life. She died in October the following year, leaving him with a son and heir. In 1806, future U.S. President Andrew Jackson killed Charles Dickinson in a duel after Dickinson had accused Jackson's wife of bigamy. Dickinson had not said such things about Rachel, but if he had, they would have been true. Andrew Jackson married Rachel while she was married, and not divorced as they had thought. Jackson's duelling behaviour, although successful, was viewed as despicable. Dickinson had to stand without moving while Jackson rechecked his gun and lined up the fatal shot. Jackson could have chosen to aim high. The actual issue had been a horse race.

1832, the Rideau Canal in eastern Ontario was opened. 1834, Joaquim António de Aguiar issued a law extinguishing "all convents, monasteries, colleges, hospices and any other houses of the regular religious orders" in Portugal, earning him the nickname of "The Friar-Killer". 1842, John Francis attempted to murder Queen Victoria as she drove down Constitution Hill in London with Prince Albert. It was Francis' second attempt, he had tried the day before too. Francis was convicted of High treason, sentenced to death, and the sentence was commuted to transportation for life. He was sent to Hobart, paroled, married a 16 yo girl and had lots of children. 1868, Decoration Day (the predecessor of the modern "Memorial Day") was observed in the United States for the first time (by "Commander-in-chief of the Grand Army of the Republic" John A. Logan's proclamation on May 5).

The abuse that the far left heap on conservatives is discourteous and often illegal. ABC broadcasts contrary to it charter. Unprofessional journalists at the Guardian, Age and SMH will cut their own throats for readership before reporting accurately. The cost is ultimately to political discourse being lowered in a way undesirable for a liberal democracy. But Australia, and others, survive this because, although crippling, Democracy has checks and balances which prevent outright tyranny. The abysmal ALP administrations in Victoria and Queensland have been re-gifted office after one term. Neither administration has reformed. Analysis in Queensland seems to suggest the previous leader, Campbell Newman, was at fault. However, to be fair, the corrupt machinations of Clive Palmer ended a good government and got ALP elected after one term without ALP reforming. It will always be possible to find fault with conservatives, but merely re electing ALP as a default, corrodes democracy and allows the ALP to weaken the independence of the public service and judiciary. Political discourse is low when a conservative can question a deleterious link between ALP and Labour unions and get the response "Fuck Tony Abbott."

The Death of Lazarus

¹ Now a man named Lazarus was sick. He was from Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha. ² (This Mary, whose brother Lazarus now lay sick, was the same one who poured perfume on the Lord and wiped his feet with her hair.) ³ So the sisters sent word to Jesus, "Lord, the one you love is sick."

⁴ When he heard this, Jesus said, "This sickness will not end in death. No, it is for God's glory so that God's Son may be glorified through it." ⁵ Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus. ⁶ So when he heard that Lazarus was sick, he stayed where he was two more days, ⁷ and then he said to his disciples, "Let us go back to Judea...."

Morning

"Thou hatest wickedness."
Psalm 45:7

"Be ye angry, and sin not." There can hardly be goodness in a man if he be not angry at sin; he who loves truth must hate every false way. How our Lord Jesus hated it when the temptation came! Thrice it assailed him in different forms, but ever he met it with, "Get thee behind me, Satan." He hated it in others; none the less fervently because he showed his hate oftener in tears of pity than in words of rebuke; yet what language could be more stern, more Elijah-like, than the words, "Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer." He hated wickedness, so much that he bled to wound it to the heart; he died that it might die; he was buried that he might bury it in his tomb; and he rose that he might forever trample it beneath his feet. Christ is in the Gospel, and that Gospel is opposed to wickedness in every shape. Wickedness arrays itself in fair garments, and imitates the language of holiness; but the precepts of Jesus, like his famous scourge of small cords, chase it out of the temple, and will not tolerate it in the Church. So, too, in the heart where Jesus reigns, what war there is between Christ and Belial! And when our Redeemer shall come to be our Judge, those thundering words, "Depart, ye cursed" which are, indeed, but a prolongation of his life-teaching concerning sin, shall manifest his abhorrence of iniquity. As warm as is his love to sinners, so hot is his hatred of sin; as perfect as is his righteousness, so complete shall be the destruction of every form of wickedness. O thou glorious champion of right, and destroyer of wrong, for this cause hath God, even thy God, anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

Evening

"Cursed be the man before the Lord, that riseth up and buildeth this city Jericho."
Joshua 6:26

Since he was cursed who rebuilt Jericho, much more the man who labours to restore Popery among us. In our fathers' days the gigantic walls of Popery fell by the power of their faith, the perseverance of their efforts, and the blast of their gospel trumpets; and now there are some who would rebuild that accursed system upon its old foundation. O Lord, be pleased to thwart their unrighteous endeavours, and pull down every stone which they build. It should be a serious business with us to be thoroughly purged of every error which may have a tendency to foster the spirit of Popery, and when we have made a clean sweep at home we should seek in every way to oppose its all too rapid spread abroad in the church and in the world. This last can be done in secret by fervent prayer, and in public by decided testimony. We must warn with judicious boldness those who are inclined towards the errors of Rome; we must instruct the young in gospel truth, and tell them of the black doings of Popery in the olden times. We must aid in spreading the light more thoroughly through the land, for priests, like owls, hate daylight. Are we doing all we can for Jesus and the gospel? If not, our negligence plays into the hands of the priestcraft. What are we doing to spread the Bible, which is the Pope's bane and poison? Are we casting abroad good, sound gospel writings? Luther once said, "The devil hates goose quills" and, doubtless, he has good reason, for ready writers, by the Holy Spirit's blessing, have done his kingdom much damage. If the thousands who will read this short word this night will do all they can to hinder the rebuilding of this accursed Jericho, the Lord's glory shall speed among the sons of men. Reader, what can you do? What will you do?

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.

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)
