Editorial on Press Misrepresenting Facts
Press individuals are entitled to opinions, but it is unprofessional of them to be deliberately, objectively, biased. Take for example the death penalty applied to Ledell Lee, who was executed April 20th 2017 for the 1993 murder of his neighbor Debra Reese. She had been killed by a small bat her husband had given her for protection. Ledell was found with $300 stolen from Reese, an hour later. His DNA was on the bat, and a cloth used to grip the bat. Just prior to execution, more DNA was found on the bat that did not correspond to Ledell. However, it had not cleared Ledell, who had also been found to have raped two other women, and allegedly killed a third whom he never faced trial over, because of the death penalty conviction.
The new evidence was insufficient to overturn the case. It could have meant a third party was present when Ledell beat Reese to death, but had not taken her money and had not raped her. The DNA might belong to her husband who gave her the bat and possibly owned the shirt the bat grip was wrapped? However, according to the press reporting the issue for activists, the trial was unfair.
Editorial Headline reads 'mind control' but their minds seem ill disciplined
Mind control has been linguistically applied to describe a detached mechanical arm being manipulated through a silicon chip connected to a brain of a guy needing a prosthetic. There is even sensory feedback so the user can pick up breakables. It suggests a bright future for those in need of limbs, or in dangerous lines of work needing remote access. Imagine flying planes remotely with a feel for experienced turbulence?
But, mind control is not all about hope. In Victoria, in Australia we are under lockdown despite it being ineffective and expensive. However, independent members of parliament have gifted the ALP the means to declare lockdowns, although they had promised voters a vote for them would prevent such abuses of power. In this circumstance, mind control is more sinister. Bored with rules, and unable to work, syphilis cases are exploding. News promotes ALP incompetence, and attacks conservative government ministers, or actors.
Herd immunity is the only natural way to securely deal with COVID. Vaccinations help lead to it. Press don't yet understand that the two things are linked.

Edmund Spenser (c. 1552 -- 13 January 1599) was an English poet best known for The Faerie Queene, an epic poem and fantastical allegory celebrating the Tudor dynasty and Elizabeth I. He is recognized as one of the premier craftsmen of Modern English verse in its infancy, and one of the greatest poets in the English language.
Ere long they come, where that same wicked Wight
His dwelling has, low in an hollow Cave,
Far underneath a craggy Clift ypight,
Dark, doleful, dreary, like a greedy Grave,
That still for carrion Carcasses doth crave:
On top whereof as dwelt the ghastly Owl,
Shrieking his baleful Note, which ever crave
Far from that haunt all other chearful Fowl;
And all about it wandring Ghosts did wall and howl.
And all about, old stocks and Stubs of Trees,
Whereon nor Fruit, nor Leaf was ever seen,
Did hang upon the ragged rocky Knees;
On which had many Wretches hanged been,
Whose Carasses were scattered on the Green,
And thrown about the Clifts. Arrived there,
That bare-head Knight, for dread and doleful teen,
Would fain have fled, ne durst approachen near:
But th' other forc'd him stay, and comforted in fear.
That darksom Cave they enter, where they find
That cursed Man, low sitting on the ground,
Musing full sadly in his sullen Mind;
His greazy Locks, long growen, and unbound,
Disordred hung about his Shoulders round,
And hid his Face; through which his hollow Eyne
Look'd deadly dull, and stared as astoun'd;
His raw-bone Cheeks, through Penury and Pine,
Were shrunk into his Jaws, as he did never dine.
His Garment, nought but many ragged Clouts,
With Thorns together pinn'd and patched was,
The which his naked Sides he wrap'd abouts;
And him beside there lay upon the Grass
A dreary Corse, whose Life away did pass,
All wallow'd in his own yet luke-warm Blood,
That from his Wound yet welled fresh, alas;
In which a rusty Knife fast fixed stood,
And made an open Passage for the gushing Flood.

Don't give up on hope. Siberian Ice Maiden died 2500 years ago from breast cancer. She had material that would have helped her address the pain associated with the condition. If Greens ever got their way, her early death would be world's best practice. Democrats lose California super majority. Workplace diversity questioned as letter to editor complains of white only workplace. Pro tip, use orange sun tan lotion to promote excellence and diversity.
Innocent man left hanging for two years by police. He'd been accused of rape by an ex girlfriend. Police had exculpatory evidence but did not tell him. He lost his job in the interim. T Shirt choices are hard in the wake of a recent bakery success. The business offers alternatives to those they refuse to print for but activists don't care .. they'd pay the cash to ruin the business .. spreading it far and wide who printed the material. Then their mates would take exception and sue the business on grounds a court would entertain

Some things should not happen, but they do. UK needs Theresa May to win the election. She should win. But news opposition has whittled her lead. Labor leader Jeremy Corbyn is a known quantity that would be an awful leader. Corbyn has never held a real job. He has always been an activist, and was trained as one, for trades unions. Corbyn does not know how industry works. He does not understand foreign affairs. He does not have an agenda which will allow UK wealth creation, or protect vital UK interests. On the other hand, Conservatives have governed steadily and responsibly. They were divided by David Cameron over Brexit, but no longer under May. They are making decisions to improve the security of the UK after successive Labor regimes brought in hostile immigrants. But the one way to protect British cultural diversity and protect everyone is to vote Conservative so they can control the agenda. There is no room for a protest vote. A video crossed around the world today of a UK conservative asking for a vote. He praised May and bagged Corbyn, but he failed to list the obvious reality of policy differences. It is too late to campaign on that, but an agenda of government policy is politics 101. There must be a reason why that is not present. Probably, Corbyn is a small target by saying nothing, and the media are acting for him, and the media will tear apart any miss step by a conservative, so they are being disciplined small targets too.
Today I saw another unsettling meme of Victoria's Premier Dan Andrews holding a sign saying that home invasions are a human right. Andrews' awful policy means that that virtually is the case for Victorians. Because Andrews has protected criminals from prosecution and Victorians have suffered for it. But the sign is not representative of what Andrews says. It is better to call out Andrews on what he has said, rather than what has happened as a result of awful administration.
For some, at the moment, the Sex Party has more credibility.
It was interesting hearing the former adviser to Rudd call Gillard 'solid' in policy terms and Rudd 'brilliant.' In reality neither offered worthwhile policy. Rudd said he was an economic conservative like Howard before the '07 election, but changed his mind after election and embraced tossing money away. Meanwhile Gillard was against a carbon tax prior to election but could do nothing else when she was in government. Rudd claimed to have ended the carbon tax the second time around, while Shorten voted to keep it after conservatives were elected. The only brilliant, or solid policy the ALP had was to implement a useless tax. Ending the useless tax, was one of the few things independents supported the new Abbott led government on. Now with an increase in growth, it can be seen the tax opposed growth.

Hilary Clinton is the Democrat choice for White House contestant. She might not make the contest, as she faces imminent arrest for corrupt behavior. Obama was elected without being vetted, so it is possible Hillary will too. However Hillary did not work for the CIA as a rent boy in Pakistan. So she won't be given the same free ride. She is the Democrat equivalent of GOP's McCain. He was unelectable but the pick of the unelectables when the GOP campaigned during the Dem turn. It is a truth that none in Washington want to break the two term alternating party cycle because too long out of power is deleterious to party function. Democrats have never really reformed since FDR employed opportunism and excavated core beliefs. In Australia, the abysmal ALP have never recovered from Whitlam. Shorten is not a credible alternative as PM, but he is the best the ALP can field. The ALP are waiting to install incompetent Jason Clare.
For some, at the moment, the Sex Party has more credibility.

According to the ABC the big news event of the week was the leaking of cabinet discussions on treatment of foreign fighters who had turned their back on Australia. The ABC want Malcolm Turnbull to kick the conservatives out of government. They hope by claiming it will happen then the Abbott led government will implode. But that is just not realistic. On the other hand, Shorten is facing another test of character and he has already fallen short. He has been challenged to explain why the union he led stole money from the poorest workers so as to feather the union nest. It doesn't matter if he isn't challenged within the ALP if he is arrested by police and thrown into jail for a long time. A power sharing arrangement could be worked out with the second in charge.

Government is good at some important functions, but ultimately it is not for liberty or freedom. Government baulked at organising transport for a D-Day vet to get to anniversary celebrations, so the vet put his medals on his chest, grabbed his raincoat and caught a coach to France. We salute him.
US Government has, in the past, been a great defender of freedom. But recently, she has lacked judgement. Terrorists have taken her for a soft touch. And that is a terrible signal to send. But bureaucracy is the opposite of personal. It took more than six months for the Australian public broadcaster (ABC) to apologise to a journalist for explicitly portraying him as a dog fucker. In their defence, the journalist occasionally is balanced regarding conservatives and so the biased media may have felt he was fair game. Ultimately, they needed a court ruling to order them to apologise. They are so self interested and dull witted that they are offensive even before they give their 'thoughts.'
But while the media are often over the top in criticising anyone who might be conservative, they are blind to the faults of those who are not. And the revelations regarding union corruption which has enveloped the ALP are growing in there enormity. Only, it seems never to have been secret. The press have been so inept as to be liable for an allegation of colluding. That is not mere bias. A talentless hack can move from TV presenter to ALP Minister to early pension. But if that involved obscuring corruption to legitimate authorities then that talentless hack should face charges of corruption too.

Today's Old Testament reading: 2 Chronicles 25-27
Amaziah King of Judah
1 Amaziah was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem twenty-nine years. His mother's name was Jehoaddan; she was from Jerusalem. 2 He did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, but not wholeheartedly. 3After the kingdom was firmly in his control, he executed the officials who had murdered his father the king. 4 Yet he did not put their children to death, but acted in accordance with what is written in the Law, in the Book of Moses, where the LORD commanded: "Parents shall not be put to death for their children, nor children be put to death for their parents; each will die for their own sin...."
Today's New Testament reading: John 16
1 "All this I have told you so that you will not fall away. 2They will put you out of the synagogue; in fact, the time is coming when anyone who kills you will think they are offering a service to God. 3 They will do such things because they have not known the Father or me. 4 I have told you this, so that when their time comes you will remember that I warned you about them. I did not tell you this from the beginning because I was with you, 5 but now I am going to him who sent me. None of you asks me, 'Where are you going?' 6 Rather, you are filled with grief because I have said these things...."

Morning
One cheering word, poor lost sinner, for thee! You think you must not come to God because you are vile. Now, there is not a saint living on earth but has been made to feel that he is vile. If Job, and Isaiah, and Paul were all obliged to say "I am vile," oh, poor sinner, wilt thou be ashamed to join in the same confession? If divine grace does not eradicate all sin from the believer, how dost thou hope to do it thyself? and if God loves his people while they are yet vile, dost thou think thy vileness will prevent his loving thee? Believe on Jesus, thou outcast of the world's society! Jesus calls thee, and such as thou art.
"Not the righteous, not the righteous;
Sinners, Jesus came to call."
Even now say, "Thou hast died for sinners; I am a sinner, Lord Jesus, sprinkle thy blood on me;" if thou wilt confess thy sin thou shalt find pardon. If, now, with all thy heart, thou wilt say, "I am vile, wash me," thou shalt be washed now. If the Holy Spirit shall enable thee from thy heart to cry
"Just as I am, without one plea
But that thy blood was shed for me,
And that thou bidd'st me come to thee,
O Lamb of God, I come!"
thou shalt rise from reading this morning's portion with all thy sins pardoned; and though thou didst wake this morning with every sin that man hath ever committed on thy head, thou shalt rest tonight accepted in the Beloved; though once degraded with the rags of sin, thou shalt be adorned with a robe of righteousness, and appear white as the angels are. For "now," mark it, "Now is the accepted time." If thou "believest on him who justifieth the ungodly thou art saved." Oh! may the Holy Spirit give thee saving faith in him who receives the vilest.
Evening
"Are they Israelites? so am I."
2 Corinthians 11:22
2 Corinthians 11:22
We have here a personal claim, and one that needs proof. The apostle knew that his claim was indisputable, but there are many persons who have no right to the title who yet claim to belong to the Israel of God. If we are with confidence declaring, "So am I also an Israelite," let us only say it after having searched our heart as in the presence of God. But if we can give proof that we are following Jesus, if we can from the heart say, "I trust him wholly, trust him only, trust him simply, trust him now, and trust him ever," then the position which the saints of God hold belongs to us--all their enjoyments are our possessions; we may be the very least in Israel, "less than the least of all saints," yet since the mercies of God belong to the saints as saints, and not as advanced saints, or well-taught saints, we may put in our plea, and say, "Are they Israelites? so am I; therefore the promises are mine, grace is mine, glory will be mine." The claim, rightfully made, is one which will yield untold comfort. When God's people are rejoicing that they are his, what a happiness if they can say, "So am I !" When they speak of being pardoned, and justified, and accepted in the Beloved, how joyful to respond, "Through the grace of God, so am I." But this claim not only has its enjoyments and privileges, but also its conditions and duties. We must share with God's people in cloud as well as in sunshine. When we hear them spoken of with contempt and ridicule for being Christians, we must come boldly forward and say, "So am I." When we see them working for Christ, giving their time, their talent, their whole heart to Jesus, we must be able to say, "So do I." O let us prove our gratitude by our devotion, and live as those who, having claimed a privilege, are willing to take the responsibility connected with it.

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)
