Wed 26th 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 Rabbits

"Ginger Mick was a likeable rogue who, before he answered the call to arms to defend democracy, sold fresh rabbits in the streets of Melbourne. This book by CJ Dennis tells of his tender love for Rose and his experiences at war in North Africa. The verse is full of humour and pathos and truly captures the spirit of the era.

=== From 2018 ===
Don't give up on hope. ALP in Victoria are discussing a push to move Australia Day, from 26th of January, when the first fleet arrived, to May 9th. May 9th is the day when Australia's parliament first met in 1901. The argument for change is that January 26th is offensive for Aboriginal peoples. My DNA is 30% Aboriginal and I'm proud of the January 26th landing in 1788. I have ancestors, who came to Sydney in 1816 from Ireland as convicts, and one free, Chinese man, who came from Canton province in 1818. Some activists are calling January 26th "Invasion Day" which it was not. Sydney Colony was a penal colony. My Chinese ancestor was convinced by a Blaxland brother to stay and ply his woodworking trade. He would own land, run a pub, and, establish an undertaker business. Because of Mak Sai Ying coming to Sydney, and marrying an illiterate Irish girl, I have a line which includes my Aboriginal ancestry. His son, and later his grand son, married illiterate Irish ethnic girls with Aboriginal ancestry. I would not have my 30% Aboriginal DNA without that 1% Chinese DNA. 

Today is national Sorry Day, founded on an absurd belief of a stolen generation. The issue is different to what activists claim. There is an underclass of people in Australia which should never be defined as an underclass by race. The racist claims stand to undermine work done by missionaries and authorities of the day to protect the vulnerable and needy. The Sorry of Kevin Rudd was Rudd's crowning achievement. He attempted to remove the intervention in top end Australia having failed to address the issues warranting an intervention, on the strength of having said 'sorry.' Sorry Day's date needs to be changed to coincide with Labor Day, which is a date recognising Labour Unions who have a parasitical relationship with employees and employers. But if Union leaders are offended by that, we can move it to Good Friday. Nobody cares if Catholics are offended and Orthodox leaders wouldn't always mind. 

Laws are proving to be a problem, not entirely because they are deficient, but because the arbiters of law, judges, are compromised. In some cases judges are deficient, and in others, they are corrupt. Wanting to change laws because judges are deficient is never going to be effective. Judges not applying minimum sentences is a problem. Judges misinterpreting the constitution is a problem. Judges following a partisan line, when they are supposed to be independent, is a problem. People have died due to judicial incompetence. Judges, like doctors, get to bury their mistakes. 
=== from 2017 ===
Some things should not happen, but they do. Children in Victorian classrooms are asking questions and discussing the Manchester terror hit. They don't comprehend the enormity of it. Neither do the press. To the press it is part of a political game. As long as they can hate Trump, bemoan Brexit and oppose a mythical war on Islam they are happy. Only there is no war on Islam. Neither should there be. Islam is pathetic and broken right now, offering little worthwhile to its adherents world wide. There is no worldwide example of virtue owing to Islam, at the moment. In Victoria I hear people say Dan Andrews is doing the best he can with a short deck. "At least he is trying." Except, there is no example of competency anywhere in his performance as Premier of Victoria. For example, level crossings are being removed to make public transport safer. That is a conservative idea the ALP are copying badly. Because while the conservatives can do it on budget without inconveniencing commuters, Dan Andrews has created a super expensive body to oversee the construction and the resultant lags and delays can be seen by the commuter, who is likely to assume that is Dan working as well as he can. Which is a sad indictment if true. The ALP is not competent in Victoria. No one is fighting Muslims at the moment, except other Muslims. 

In 47 BC, Julius Caesar visited Tarsus on his way to Pontus, where he met enthusiastic support, but where, according to CiceroCassius was planning to kill him at this point. 3 years later, Julius was backstabbed to death. 17, Germanicus returned to Rome as a conquering hero; he celebrated a triumph for his victories over the CherusciChatti and other German tribes west of the Elbe. Two years later, Germanicus was dead under suspicious circumstances. Some said he was poisoned on order of Tiberius. Some said he was the Roman equivalent of Alexander the Great, dying young having achieved much. He was a bit like Kennedy, his alleged killer was killed before being questioned. 451, Battle of Avarayr between Armenian rebels and the Sassanid Empire took place. The Empire defeated the Armenians militarily but guaranteed them freedom to openly practice Christianity. 946, King Edmund I of England was murdered by a thief whom he personally attacked while celebrating St Augustine's Mass Day. He had been feasting with nobles when he spotted the exiled thief Leofa. He personally fought Leofa and was killed, as was Leofa immediately after by others. 

1328, William of Ockham, the Franciscan Minister-General Michael of Cesena and two other Franciscan leaders secretly left Avignon, fearing a death sentence from Pope John XXII. They had right to fear the sentence because the Franciscans were caught in a power play between the Pope and the Holy Roman Emperor. Ockham became famous for his Razor, and he chose the best, simplest solution by making the Emperor his patron. William was not accused of heresy, merely of using works deemed heretical. 1538, Geneva expelled John Calvin and his followers from the city. Calvin lived in exile in Strasbourg for the next three years. 1647, Alse Young, hanged in Hartford, Connecticut, became the first person executed as a witch in the British American colonies. The records do not exist as to why she was thought to be a witch. But it is doubtful she performed magic. There is a suggestion that she had no son, and one daughter, and so stood to inherit on the event of her husband's death. But she died first.

1770, The Orlov Revolt, an attempt to revolt against the Ottoman Empire before the Greek War of Independence, ended in disaster for the Greeks. Russia had egged Greece on, but wiped her hands after the loss. Russia benefited from the confusion, Greeks were hurt by the reprisals.

Man Monis  details are being revealed to the public, showing how a refugee came to take hostages after aiding the murder of his wife. He was a creep his entire time he was in Australia and nobody stopped him. But the ALP helped him. Questions are being asked as to why Shorten doesn't produce policy even though he is secure as leader of the ALP. Thing is he can still be rolled by enemies. But every time he changes a policy he makes enemies. So he does nothing. And soon he will be attacked by enemies who won't accept him doing nothing when he does it badly. He hasn't convictions. He only has missed opportunity. Just like Man Monis. 

Innocents killed in Iraq where ISIL has over run Iraqi positions. Women and children beheaded. Not just war crimes, but crimes which bring Islam not disrepute. Impotent Islamic leaders are still backing jihadists. And the left back victim ideology. 

Southern US floods have claimed lives. Record flooding in Austin, Texas. 

AFL Carlton coach, Mick Malthouse sacked after an interview on radio where he said the board should back him or sack him. It ends his brilliant long career on a sour note that will be forgotten. As a player, he won a premiership for the Tigers in 1980. As a coach he has won three premierships. He has achieved everything a coach or player could want and should retire satisfied. But for the short term it will hurt.

Jesus Heals a Man Born Blind
1 As he went along, he saw a man blind from birth. 2 His disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?"
"Neither this man nor his parents sinned," said Jesus, "but this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him. 4 As long as it is day, we must do the works of him who sent me. Night is coming, when no one can work. 5 While I am in the world, I am the light of the world...."

Morning

"Forsake me not, O Lord."
Psalm 38:21
Frequently we pray that God would not forsake us in the hour of trial and temptation, but we too much forget that we have need to use this prayer at all times. There is no moment of our life, however holy, in which we can do without his constant upholding. Whether in light or in darkness, in communion or in temptation, we alike need the prayer, "Forsake me not, O Lord." "Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe." A little child, while learning to walk, always needs the nurse's aid. The ship left by the pilot drifts at once from her course. We cannot do without continued aid from above; let it then be your prayer today, "Forsake me not. Father, forsake not thy child, lest he fall by the hand of the enemy. Shepherd, forsake not thy lamb, lest he wander from the safety of the fold. Great Husbandman, forsake not thy plant, lest it wither and die. Forsake me not, O Lord,' now; and forsake me not at any moment of my life. Forsake me not in my joys, lest they absorb my heart. Forsake me not in my sorrows, lest I murmur against thee. Forsake me not in the day of my repentance, lest I lose the hope of pardon, and fall into despair; and forsake me not in the day of my strongest faith, lest faith degenerate into presumption. Forsake me not, for without thee I am weak, but with thee I am strong. Forsake me not, for my path is dangerous, and full of snares, and I cannot do without thy guidance. The hen forsakes not her brood; do thou then evermore cover me with thy feathers, and permit me under thy wings to find my refuge. Be not far from me, O Lord, for trouble is near, for there is none to help.' Leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation!'"
"O ever in our cleansed breast,
Bid thine Eternal Spirit rest;
And make our secret soul to be
A temple pure and worthy thee."

Evening

"And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem ... and they told what things were done in the way, and how he was known of them."
Luke 24:33-35

When the two disciples had reached Emmaus, and were refreshing themselves at the evening meal, the mysterious stranger who had so enchanted them upon the road, took bread and brake it, made himself known to them, and then vanished out of their sight. They had constrained him to abide with them, because the day was far spent; but now, although it was much later, their love was a lamp to their feet, yea, wings also; they forgot the darkness, their weariness was all gone, and forthwith they journeyed back the threescore furlongs to tell the gladsome news of a risen Lord, who had appeared to them by the way. They reached the Christians in Jerusalem, and were received by a burst of joyful news before they could tell their own tale. These early Christians were all on fire to speak of Christ's resurrection, and to proclaim what they knew of the Lord; they made common property of their experiences. This evening let their example impress us deeply. We too must bear our witness concerning Jesus. John's account of the sepulchre needed to be supplemented by Peter; and Mary could speak of something further still; combined, we have a full testimony from which nothing can be spared. We have each of us peculiar gifts and special manifestations; but the one object God has in view is the perfecting of the whole body of Christ. We must, therefore, bring our spiritual possessions and lay them at the apostle's feet, and make distribution unto all of what God has given to us. Keep back no part of the precious truth, but speak what you know, and testify what you have seen. Let not the toil or darkness, or possible unbelief of your friends, weigh one moment in the scale. Up, and be marching to the place of duty, and there tell what great things God has shown to your soul.

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.
