Thu 27th 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 Not The Struggle Naught Availeth 

Arthur Hugh Clough (1 January 1819 -- 13 November 1861) was an English poet, the brother of suffragist Anne Clough (who ended up as principal of Newnham College, Cambridge), and assistant to ground-breaking nurse Florence Nightingale.

     The labour and the wounds are vain, 
The enemy faints not, nor faileth, 
     And as things have been they remain. 

If hopes were dupes, fears may be liars; 
     It may be, in yon smoke concealed, 
Your comrades chase e'en now the fliers,
     And, but for you, possess the field. 

For while the tired waves, vainly breaking 
     Seem here no painful inch to gain, 
Far back through creeks and inlets making, 
     Comes silent, flooding in, the main. 

And not by eastern windows only, 
     When daylight comes, comes in the light, 
In front the sun climbs slow, how slowly, 
     But westward, look, the land is bright.

Don't give up on hope. There are international protests following the arrest of "Tommy Robinson" by UK police. Innocent people advocating a defence for Tommy say he has been arrested without charge and the press are not allowed to report on the issues surrounding it because of a blanket ban on reporting. I would like to correct some of the more misleading claims. Tommy advocates have claimed Tommy has been arrested without charge for "Pointing out that Muslims are raping and abusing UK children." However, the person going by the name Tommy has been convicted in a court and faced contempt of court charges on the issues he claims to be speaking out about. It is true no new charges are being laid, they don't need to be. Tommy was disturbing the peace according to police who are allowed to make that judgement. Tommy was outside the court where he faced contempt charges. He ought not to have been there. 

Tommy Robinson makes claims of speaking out on issues. Yet he has depraved indifference on the same issues sans race and ethnicity. The law needs to be blind on race and ethnicity. It is true that corrupt, partisan elements of police, judges and politicians turned a blind eye to crimes directly attributable to race and ethnicity and so people like Tommy Robinson have street cred. UK does not need the former ADL leader, who was paid to step down as leader (according to Tommy) and who still apparently advocates the same. The conservative lobby has no benefit associating with Tommy. 

In South Australia, ALP government built a $2billion hospital that is state of the art, but doesn't work. It may need to be entirely built again. Victoria faces worse issues after November, with ALP projects in the tens of $billions needing to be torn up and rebuilt. The price of ALP is debt, but it is also bad management. The money is not spent on those who voted ALP. I am 30% Aboriginal, but will not declare my status to the government because everyone who does so, gives money to the ALP who spend it on themselves, after it was earmarked for the Aboriginal community. It is the beginning of National Reconciliation week in recognition of Mabo, when the High Court Justices read between constitutional lines. Aboriginals have not benefited from the race based decision, but a lot of money has been held by the ALP and partisan ALP in trust. Maybe we should just call it 'Sorry week'?

Some things should not happen, but they do. Malcolm Turnbull fronted some school kids and got asked a loaded question. He answered it. As if he were talking to ALP front benchers. How did they get so many ALP shadow ministers to sit still for Turnbull? Why don't adults treat Malcolm with that respect. I think when Turnbull is no longer PM, he could be a relief teacher for Safe Schools. But he will never be a competent PM. Sadly the loaded question threw Mr Turnbull, or he might have noticed that the mine was no threat to the environment and potentially could earn billions of dollars, be beneficial to the environment, and give many jobs. The problem with Malcolm Turnbull as PM is that he is awful and the Liberal Party are losing support because of it. And Turnbull is taking others wth him down the drain. Ten years ago, Pyne and Bishop were strong talents of the Liberal Party. Now they are dead wood. The budget was what was needed for handing the reigns of power to the ALP for awhile so the Liberals can remove Malcolm Turnbull. So that the ALP are restricted in their spending because the Libs had not been responsible in government. 

1940, World War II: In the Le Paradis massacre, 99 soldiers from a Royal Norfolk Regiment unit were shot after surrendering to German troops; two survive. After the war the two testified against the senior Nazi who ordered the killing. The killer, Fritz Knöchlein, was hanged in '49. 1942, World War II: In Operation AnthropoidReinhard Heydrich was fatally wounded in Prague; he died of his injuries eight days later. Reinhard was the architect of the final solution and a President of Interpol. It was regrettable he lived so long.

1967, Australians voted in favour of a constitutional referendum granting the Australian government the power to make laws to benefit Indigenous Australians and to count them in the national censusIn 1980, the Gwangju Massacre: Airborne and army troops of South Korea retook the city of Gwangju from civil militias, killing at least 207 and possibly many more. 1997, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Paula Jones could pursue her sexual harassment lawsuit against President Bill Clinton while he was in office.

Justice delayed is justice denied. The rapist killer of Jill Meagher, an ABC identity who was raped and killed after having a late night drink with friends in Melbourne, was facing other charges for violent rape. But an inept journalist put the court cases in danger of collapse by failing to obey orders regarding reporting on the issues. One victim became suicidal at the delay caused by the journalist. Fairfax's Clementine Ford has an explanation for her failure. Fairfax doesn't. But Adrian Bayley, whose sentence is to be increased, is an embarrassment to the authorities who had him on parole, given his history, and given that he was clearly poorly supervised. Another instance embarrassing authorities, is Man Monis. Monis was on parole despite his strong history of danger to the community, and contempt for authority. 

ALP the enemy of small business with small business and employees of small business contracting under Labor, and growing under conservatives. ALP don't own the issue of gay marriage. All it needs is responsible legislation. ALP have shown themselves incapable of that.

Morning

"Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee."
Psalm 55:22
Care, even though exercised upon legitimate objects, if carried to excess, has in it the nature of sin. The precept to avoid anxious care is earnestly inculcated by our Saviour, again and again; it is reiterated by the apostles; and it is one which cannot be neglected without involving transgression: for the very essence of anxious care is the imagining that we are wiser than God, and the thrusting ourselves into his place to do for him that which he has undertaken to do for us. We attempt to think of that which we fancy he will forget; we labour to take upon ourselves our weary burden, as if he were unable or unwilling to take it for us. Now this disobedience to his plain precept, this unbelief in his Word, this presumption in intruding upon his province, is all sinful. Yet more than this, anxious care often leads to acts of sin. He who cannot calmly leave his affairs in God's hand, but will carry his own burden, is very likely to be tempted to use wrong means to help himself. This sin leads to a forsaking of God as our counsellor, and resorting instead to human wisdom. This is going to the "broken cistern" instead of to the "fountain;" a sin which was laid against Israel of old. Anxiety makes us doubt God's lovingkindness, and thus our love to him grows cold; we feel mistrust, and thus grieve the Spirit of God, so that our prayers become hindered, our consistent example marred, and our life one of self-seeking. Thus want of confidence in God leads us to wander far from him; but if through simple faith in his promise, we cast each burden as it comes upon him, and are "careful for nothing" because he undertakes to care for us, it will keep us close to him, and strengthen us against much temptation. "Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on thee, because he trusteth in thee."

Evening

"Continue in the faith."
Acts 14:22

Perseverance is the badge of true saints. The Christian life is not a beginning only in the ways of God, but also a continuance in the same as long as life lasts. It is with a Christian as it was with the great Napoleon: he said, "Conquest has made me what I am, and conquest must maintain me." So, under God, dear brother in the Lord, conquest has made you what you are, and conquest must sustain you. Your motto must be, "Excelsior." He only is a true conqueror, and shall be crowned at the last, who continueth till war's trumpet is blown no more. Perseverance is, therefore, the target of all our spiritual enemies. The world does not object to your being a Christian for a time, if she can but tempt you to cease your pilgrimage, and settle down to buy and sell with her in Vanity Fair. The flesh will seek to ensnare you, and to prevent your pressing on to glory. "It is weary work being a pilgrim; come, give it up. Am I always to be mortified? Am I never to be indulged? Give me at least a furlough from this constant warfare." Satan will make many a fierce attack on your perseverance; it will be the mark for all his arrows. He will strive to hinder you in service: he will insinuate that you are doing no good; and that you want rest. He will endeavour to make you weary of suffering, he will whisper, "Curse God, and die." Or he will attack your steadfastness: "What is the good of being so zealous? Be quiet like the rest; sleep as do others, and let your lamp go out as the other virgins do." Or he will assail your doctrinal sentiments: "Why do you hold to these denominational creeds? Sensible men are getting more liberal; they are removing the old landmarks: fall in with the times." Wear your shield, Christian, therefore, close upon your armour, and cry mightily unto God, that by his Spirit you may endure to the end.

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)

Editorials will appear in the "History in a Year by the Conservative Voice" series, starting with August, September, October, or at Amazon http://www.amazon.com/dp/1482020262/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_dVHPub0MQKDZ4 The kindle version is cheaper, but the soft back version allows a free kindle version.
