Editorial Rwandan Genocide update

Did a black box of the Rwandan air disaster which sparked the 1994 genocide contain exonerating evidence for five senior French officers accused of aiding the genocide? Without knowing how or who, it was decided officially that missiles had shot down the aircraft. The black box was recovered shortly after the incident and sent to UN HQ in New York by diplomatic pouch. There it was filed. This allowed the architects of the genocide (Including Annan?) to blame Tutsi 'forces' for the atrocity which engulfed them when the missing black box may have shown the tragedy was not a missile strike. The black box was discovered ten years later and authorities who examined it said it was not exculpatory of the incident and was not the black box of the incident. Which sounds like bureaucratic code for saying the box did not contain what the authorities wanted to hear. Either it was not the black box of the incident, or it did not say what the conspirators wanted it to say. 

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.

Here is a video I made Lady of Shalott

"The Lady of Shalott" is a Victorian ballad by the English poet Alfred, Lord Tennyson (1809--1892). Like his other early poems -- "Sir Lancelot and Queen Guinevere" and "Galahad" -- the poem recasts Arthurian subject matter loosely based on medieval sources.

=== From 2018 ===
Don't give up on hope. I was working with a 10 yo and an 11 yo on Math when the subject of Trump arose after discussing May the Fourth, Star Wars Day. Ten year old was very vocal. She hated Trump saying he was destroying America and going to start a war in North Korea. She thought his wife was a better person, who only married him because he was rich. She was sad that the one who liked children did not win. The eleven year old just validated her sister, but left the door open with "What do you think?" I'm not so boorish to give my adult thoughts on Clinton to children I tutor. That is something their teachers do already. And clearly they have been lied to by many people whom they feel are responsible for a sound world outlook. But I have strong thoughts on the subject and so I will write some of them. 

I like Trump. I don't have to agree with everything he does or has done. I admire Trump for his achievements, and broadly support his agenda. I dislike Hillary Clinton. It is conceivable I could accept her policy on some issues, but I have not identified any. Like anyone, I have my reasons for why I arrive at these positions. Trump is hard to understand, he is a brilliant persuader who has managed to persuade the US to improve as an economy and act with more probity than Obama ever did. Under Trump the US is experiencing growth and has jobs. While rich, privileged Democrat supporters bitterly denounce Trump, they also bitterly denounced people like McCain and Romney whom they later declared were more amenable. Trump is draining the Swamp which has denied natural justice to millions of Americans around the world. 

In Israel and North Korea, Trump has used bilateral relationships to promote peace. Obama engagement was described by Obama supporters as 'Strategic Patience.' But, the word wanted for 'Strategic Patience' is Temporise. It is not the same as hesitate or dither, as Turnbull exemplifies. It is not the same as undermine or reverse, as Obama exemplified. To temporise is to wait for the correct time. To hesitate is to miss the correct time. Strategic Patience' is to prevent vested interests from acting in time. Or, as HT puts it "Temporise indicates a readiness to act should the opportunity arise. Obama and Turnbull, on the other hand, are all talk while waiting for the perfect opportunity to pass by then claim that it never arrived." 

Obama killed and hurt many people. Obama has been highly lauded for it for no other reason than his skin colour. Obama has killed people in the Middle East, forcing Israel to release terrorists for peace which never eventuated. Obama used Benghazi to arm Al Qaeda to attack Syria. Obama used Ukraine to hurt Russia and killed civilians doing so. Obama used environmental activism to hurt America economically. Obama used information from social media to hurt people who disagreed with him. Obama used racism to divide America. Trump did not go to a White House press corp dinner. Trump does speak at NRA events. 

I will include here Scott Adams assessment of Trump the persuader on NK. I will also provide a comic circulated to make children hate Trump and love the undeserving Clintons. 

The rape of an intern by a President is not the same as consensual sex with a Porn Star, which may not have happened
Comparing Monica Lewinsky to Stormy Daniels. Comparing A President with an intern and a businessman with a porn star who confuses him with her husband? Just because money was paid does not mean anything happened. But We know Clinton committed abuse. We don't even know if Trump did anything except fall victim to a leach.

Because of the differences, there is no case for Trump to answer.
=== from 2017 ===

IPA Review April 2017 has a piece on Construction costs. Sometimes the 'Australia tax' is referred to where items in Australia are more expensive than elsewhere in the world because of national inefficiency. But the IPA is not referring to that. The last ALP government instituted a criminal regime in construction industry where oversight of unions was removed so they could stand over business and extort money for slush funds. The result is things cost more. Construction in Melbourne is almost as expensive as New York City. But without a commercial reward. 

Some things should not happen, but they do. A meeting of the royal family spread the rumour that Prince Phillip had died. But the 95 year old head of the royal family merely announced he was at last retiring from his patronage. One hopes he enjoys a long retirement. He loves jokes, and would love the worry many had had regarding his health. Malcolm Turnbull no longer needs to craft an insincere condolence letter. Turnbull tore up an honour Australia had bestowed on Prince Phillip. The NZ and Canadian ones will suffice.

After watching a private dancer, Floyd Mayweather, win a world championship boxing match on points, the question of unfair advantage has arisen. A technicality had denied the favoured opponent from using an anti inflammatory before the match. Floyd hadn't hurt anyone, but then Manny is not a woman. But the issue of unfair advantage plaguing left wing thinkers extends beyond such. How do unfair advantages get addressed? The ABC asks "Is having a loving family an unfair advantage?" and "Should parents snuggling up for one last story before lights out be even a little concerned about the advantage they might be conferring? "As a role model, Floyd would end the inequity. 

Two jihadis died today attempting to kill artists. The jihadis had guns and explosives. But unlike Charlie Hebdo, the artists had significant armed support. Paris, Texas sounds a better place to draw. 

Australian Federal Police explained its' role in relation to the executions of two of the Bali Nine. The AFP had not known specifics regarding the drug run and had notified the Indonesian police regarding details of it. Indonesian police rounded up the gang. If Indonesia had not been notified, the AFP might not have arrested anyone. 

On this day in 1256, Pope Alexander IV issued a Papal Bull which allowed the Augustinian monastic order to constitute at Lecceto Monastery. Augustine of Hippo had, several hundred years before, championed the interpretation of the trinity and contributed to the development of Just war theory. On this day in 1415, the Council of Constance, whose main task was to unify the papacy, condemned Jan Huss and John Wycliffe. Huss was executed soon after, Wycliffe wasn't. Huss' crime was to be critical of the Catholic Church and to have a view on the eucharist that the church condemned. Huss had been influenced by the writings of Wycliffe. Wycliffe, living in England which was undergoing civil war, created an early English version of the Bible. In 1471, the Battle of Tewkesbury was favorable for Edward IV, but not Lancastrian Edward, Prince of Wales, who was killed, aged 17. According to some accounts, shortly after the rout of the Lancastrians at Tewkesbury, a small contingent of men under the Duke of Clarence found the grieving prince near a grove, and immediately beheaded him on a makeshift block, despite his pleas. In 1493, Pope Alexander VI divided the new world between Spain and Portugal. 

In 1675, Charles II of England ordered the Greenwich Observatory be built, because he liked to watch. In 1814, Napoleon saw and landed on Elba as part of an exile which would not last. In 1869, the Naval Battle of Hakodate was fought between the new Japan and the shogunate of the Republic of Ezo. The Republic lost two steam ships sunk, and three surrendered. Japan lost one steamship of eight. The battle was fought over several days, starting on the 4th and finishing on the 10th of May. In 1871, The National Association opened its' first season of Baseball in Fort Wayne Indiana. In 1886, at a labor rally in Chicago, Illinois, called the Haymarket Affair, a bomb was thrown at police, who fired back into the crowd. Eight died and sixty were wounded. 

In 1904, on the same day the US began building the Panama Canal, Charles Stewart Rolls met Frederick Henry Royce at the Midland Hotel in Manchester, England. In 1919, May Fourth Movement: Student demonstrations took place in Tiananmen Square in Beijing, China, protesting the Treaty of Versailles, which transferred Chinese territory to Japan. In 1932, Al Capone began serving eleven years for tax evasion. He would be paroled in '39 and never spent another day in prison. In 1942, the Battle of the Coral Sea began with USS Yorktown launching aircraft against Japanese navy at Tulagi Island in the Solomans. In 1945, on the same day a concentration camp was freed in Hamburg, the North German Army surrendered to Montgomery. In 1949, the entire Torino football team died in a plane crash at the edge of Turin Italy. In 1953, Hemingway won the Pulitzer for "The Old Man and the Sea." It was the last big work to be published in Hemingway's lifetime, about an old sea man and his hunt for a marlin. In 1961, the Freedom Riders began their travels through the South of the US. In 1979, a red headed daughter of a Welsh Coal Miner became PM of the UK. Her name was Margaret Thatcher. In 1982, 20 UK sailors were killed when Argentina fired a French made Exocet missile. In 1998, the Unabomber took a plea deal to save his worthless life. 
From 2014
The stunning beauty Audrey Hepburn was born on this day in 1929. Jane McGrath in 1966. But my imagination is of a woman, who as a young child was photographed nude with her parent's blessing. I care nothing for the photograph, but the person. Such photography in its' day was considered beautiful, whereas today it is known as kiddy porn, it might not have been for that purpose it was made. She had inspired the photographer who was a mathematical genius and brilliant writer. Alice Liddell was born in 1852. The photographer made up stories placing her in fantasy settings on a boat trip. We know the stories as Alice in Wonderland. The author, known as Lewis Carroll maintained a healthy adult relationship with her and her family when she had grown up. Something that kiddy porn peoples are not noted for. She had a long, healthy life, lost two of her three sons to WW1, but was survived by the third. 

There is much discussion as to how to tackle the debt left by six years of ALP government. ALP leaders claim the debt is not a bad problem. People living in the real world note $12 billion of interest a year and a further decade of structural debt during boom times is unsustainable and our children will suffer if we fail to address the issue now. We have an example of what we can do. Margaret Thatcher was elected PM on this day in 1979.

Ahijah's Prophecy Against Jeroboam
1 At that time Abijah son of Jeroboam became ill, 2 and Jeroboam said to his wife, "Go, disguise yourself, so you won't be recognized as the wife of Jeroboam. Then go to Shiloh. Ahijah the prophet is there--the one who told me I would be king over this people. 3 Take ten loaves of bread with you, some cakes and a jar of honey, and go to him.

Morning

"In the world ye shall have tribulation."
John 16:33
Art thou asking the reason of this, believer? Look upward to thy heavenly Father, and behold him pure and holy. Dost thou know that thou art one day to be like him? Wilt thou easily be conformed to his image? Wilt thou not require much refining in the furnace of affliction to purify thee? Will it be an easy thing to get rid of thy corruptions, and make thee perfect even as thy Father which is in heaven is perfect? Next, Christian, turn thine eye downward. Dost thou know what foes thou hast beneath thy feet? Thou wast once a servant of Satan, and no king will willingly lose his subjects. Dost thou think that Satan will let thee alone? No, he will be always at thee, for he "goeth about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour." Expect trouble, therefore, Christian, when thou lookest beneath thee. Then look around thee. Where art thou? Thou art in an enemy's country, a stranger and a sojourner. The world is not thy friend. If it be, then thou art not God's friend, for he who is the friend of the world is the enemy of God. Be assured that thou shalt find foe-men everywhere. When thou sleepest, think that thou art resting on the battlefield; when thou walkest, suspect an ambush in every hedge. As mosquitoes are said to bite strangers more than natives, so will the trials of earth be sharpest to you. Lastly, look within thee, into thine own heart and observe what is there. Sin and self are still within. Ah! if thou hadst no devil to tempt thee, no enemies to fight thee, and no world to ensnare thee, thou wouldst still find in thyself evil enough to be a sore trouble to thee, for "the heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked." Expect trouble then, but despond not on account of it, for God is with thee to help and to strengthen thee. He hath said, "I will be with thee in trouble; I will deliver thee and honour thee."

Evening


"A very present help."
Psalm 46:1
Covenant blessings are not meant to be looked at only, but to be appropriated. Even our Lord Jesus is given to us for our present use. Believer, thou dost not make use of Christ as thou oughtest to do. When thou art in trouble, why dost thou not tell him all thy grief? Has he not a sympathizing heart, and can he not comfort and relieve thee? No, thou art going about to all thy friends, save thy best Friend, and telling thy tale everywhere except into the bosom of thy Lord. Art thou burdened with this day's sins? Here is a fountain filled with blood: use it, saint, use it. Has a sense of guilt returned upon thee? The pardoning grace of Jesus may be proved again and again. Come to him at once for cleansing. Dost thou deplore thy weakness? He is thy strength: why not lean upon him? Dost thou feel naked? Come hither, soul; put on the robe of Jesus' righteousness. Stand not looking at it, but wear it. Strip off thine own righteousness, and thine own fears too: put on the fair white linen, for it was meant to wear. Dost thou feel thyself sick? Pull the night-bell of prayer, and call up the Beloved Physician! He will give the cordial that will revive thee. Thou art poor, but then thou hast "a kinsman, a mighty man of wealth." What! wilt thou not go to him, and ask him to give thee of his abundance, when he has given thee this promise, that thou shalt be joint heir with him, and has made over all that he is and all that he has to be thine? There is nothing Christ dislikes more than for his people to make a show-thing of him, and not to use him. He loves to be employed by us. The more burdens we put on his shoulders, the more precious will he be to us.
"Let us be simple with him, then,
Not backward, stiff, or cold,
As though our Bethlehem could be

What Sinai was of old."

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)
