Editorial Chinese spy defects with evidence China compromised Biden over Wuhan flu

An uncorroborated report of a senior Chinese official defecting to the United States is not a surprise. Even after the Biden coup in which a fraudulent election imposed a socialist administration on the United States, the US lifestyle is still highly desirable for many around the world. This official is alleged to have defected with his daughter, who had gone to university in the US. The official is alleged to have been the senior counter intelligence spy of China. He defected with terabytes of data showing Wuhan flu was part of Chinese bio weapons research partly funded by the US government. He also provided evidence of senior US officials in Chinese pockets. He also provided evidence of US universities compromised by Chinese student spies. Evidence. Students who had been supposed to be studying in USA returning to China in February 2020 prior to lockdown.

There is circumstantial evidence of the defection. The Biden administration has backflipped over the issue of a Wuhan institute release of Wuhan flu, possibly by accident. China has demanded the return of the spy at a meeting scheduled with no apparent purpose. Redacted freedom of information documents from Fauci emails suggest an investigation at the DOJ over Fauci's Wuhan handling. The redaction was coded as if Fauci's apparent corruption was not what was being investigated.

Now that Biden's most recent pet dog has died of old age, how does Biden feel? What does it mean for Biden's attempts to deal with racism in America? Why are Biden administration officials spending US dollars on Chinese bio weapons research?

Don't give up on hope. I spent time today in Little India, Dandenong, visiting Bikaner sweet shop for a feast of butter chicken, salad, rice and yoghurt. I wore some of it proudly on my otherwise white shirt. The area is close to the railway station, Council, Library and the local member for Victoria. Even so, it is where I am accosted by beggars at this time of year. They seem very fit, but everyone, with a BMI less than 80, seems that way to me.

Plastic bags are a big discussion topic with major retailers now charging for them. The issue is supposed to be the environment where bags damage water eco systems, killing fish in similar way that windmills kill birds. Only Australia does not have the pollution problems of Indonesia, Vietnam and Cambodia. I have no problem with business profiting. I object to the excuse. One helpful checkout chick told me that Woolworths would replace any of their damaged shopping bags. I looked at my damaged refrigerator bag, and she quickly added "The ninety nine cent ones, not the refrigerated ones." Quite so.

Trump signs a law to prevent family separation for lawbreakers. It might be found to be unconstitutional. Tygrrrr Express brilliantly illustrates the issue for left wingers. Peter Fonda, fearing his career had tanked, tweeted obscenity, then apologised to Trump.

Study shows almost two thirds of university educated millennials support socialism but do not know who Stalin, Lenin, or, Mao, were. I'm told real socialism will work. It just hasn't been tried yet. Some 100 million dead between Stalin and Mao might disagree if they could.

US Congress and Israel oppose the sale of F-35 jets to Turkey. Turkey spent big to help develop them. When Great Britain refused to pass over two battleships they built for Ottomans which Ottomans had paid for, they made an enemy of them in WW1. Ottomans were not good then, being engaged in genocide against Assyrians and Armenians. The deal is lousy.

Some things should not happen, but they do. Leftwing rhetorical excess is disgusting. When Kevin Rudd got rolled the first time, his former colleagues unleashed venom so as to prevent his return to leadership. Some of the venom was misplaced. And Rudd returned and saved some of the furniture. Rudd was not as evil as he was portrayed, neither was he ever competent. When Abbott was rolled by Turnbull, Turnbull's allies had an opportunity to heal and grow, to allow the party to go in a better direction than it had been while Turnbull was undermining it. But Turnbull is not a competent leader either, and despite the venom he has unleashed on Abbott, Abbott is the best replacement for Turnbull. In both examples it is the ill disciplined rhetoric of the left which corroded and dissolved and ultimately diminished the office of Australia's Prime Minister. But there is a reason for the venom of left wing politics. Venom works. Turnbull was never a competent Prime Minister, but he did become Prime Minister.

But I am not intending to write about Australian politics and the unhinged politics of the left, but the global variety, with a focus on North Korea. What was done to Otto Warmbier was evil. Although NK perpetrated the evil, it is not contained to them. Fake news media with their calls to check white man's privilege egged on NK. A pathetically weak and inept Obama Presidency gave NK permission. The enormity of Otto's abuse was not unique. NK had targeted Americans before. And Obama had accepted it and a chortling media was amused by it. Otto was departing NK after holidaying there. He was called out of line. He probably had no inkling of what followed as he obediently responded. A trumped up charge. An outrageous sentence. A craven US President ordering his family to accept it. An unhinged media demanding Otto be made an example. And NK delivered an unexplained death of a young man whose only crime was to try to holiday there as a US citizen. Trump cannot fix this crime. Only God will. But Trump can stand tall and do what a snivelling weak Obama could not. NK has to learn there are consequences to their actions.

In 451, Battle of Chalons: Flavius Aetius battled Attila the Hun. After the battle, which was inconclusive, Attila retreated, causing the Romans to interpret it as a victory. Two years later Attila died at his wedding feast and the next year the Huns were crushed. 1685, Monmouth Rebellion: James Scott, 1st Duke of Monmouth declared himself King of England at Bridgwater. James was the illegitimate son of Charles II. He was executed for his attempt. Three years later, his idiot Uncle was removed from power by James II's son in law, William of Orange. 1789, Deputies of the French Third Estate took the Tennis Court Oath. The situation was the kingdom owed a Greek type national debt of billions of lires, and the general assembly of estates was called to deal with the issue. Except the third estate (first estate being church, 2nd estate nobility, 3rd estate was 97% of the population) was locked out of meeting. It heralded the coming revolution.

Tragedy as a young actor is killed by a freak accident. Anton Yelchin, who played Chekov in the reboot of Star Trek franchise had had a drive way with a steep gradient access to the road. He apparently was outside the vehicle and it rolled, pinning him against a concrete letter box. He had had a big future.

Thanks to the excellent political acumen of Dry Cleaner to the stars J Fo, we have a working list for senate voting in Victoria. Derryn Hinch's Justice Party, Liberal Democrats, Family First, Shooters and Fishers and Nationals for the Senate. We don't have a list for the House of Representatives, but my tip is to vote LNP as it is essential that they retain government. Of course there is a long view theory that says it might be better for Australia if the ALP win the election and Malcolm Turnbull is removed as LNP leader. Turnbull is that bad. But the short term cost of ALP is substantial. One ALP advert has it that there is over $130 billion in spending policy difference between the two parties. The ALP claim they will recoup the difference in higher taxes. They promise to pork barrel money into education without improving education. They despise important infrastructure projects. The ALP are still toying with drowning migrants and calling it compassionate. It isn't compassionate when Eddie McGuire jokes about it. It isn't compassionate when ALP perpetrate terrible border laws which result in it. If the ALP wins, and Turnbull is removed as leader from the LNP, it might be good for the long term. But in the short term, Australia will be much poorer. And people are likely to die as a result. Workers, migrants and soldiers.

For some, at the moment, the Sex Party has more credibility.

Left wing government supporters are fond of saying there is no difference between conservative and left wing governments in democracy. In some ways there is truth to that. Both styles of government rely on process and policy and make decisions that may be unpopular. But there is a stark difference and that is in how the media analyse government performance. Gough Whitlam's sacrifice of the Balibo 5 journalists in 1975 was a harsh real politic decision. He couldn't forbid the journalists from going or he would have to admit he had permitted Indonesia to invade. Indonesian special forces, according to an Australian Coroner in 2007, had targeted the journalists. On this day in 1979, what role had Jimmy Carter played in the death of ABC newsman Bill Stewart? The murderous arrogance of a left wing revolutionary government being courted by Carter is breathtaking. Had the pictures not been taken, would the public outcry and media analysis been muted as Balibo's had been?

Recently, the media have been all over cabinet leaks among the Liberal Party regarding an important decision to address the issue of terrorists returning to Australia and resuming dual citizenship they had renounced. But the media are unwilling to analyse leaks from Bill Shorten's shadow cabinet regarding his policy failures. Democracies stand on a strong, fierce, independent media. But Australia does not have that and it weakens and corrodes infrastructure. In the US, the US President has spoken strongly following the racist shootings in a church in South Carolina. However, Obama's previous claim that the murder of Jews in Paris was random weakens his claim on the current atrocity. His critics may say the atrocity in South Carolina was not racist, but a random attack at a church. It is petty, and wrong, and diminishes the meaning of the atrocity in terms of the victims, which should never happen. In South Carolina, the victims loved ones have stood up in court and addressed the terrorist killer and forgiven him. It is good they have. And it will be good that that forgiven man be executed too. Give him a fair trial first. Let him put forth his argument. And let Obama retract his appalling misstatement. Only the pathetic press won't ask Obama to correct himself.

Today is remarkable for the charter given Oxford University in 1214. The record of greatness coming from that fine institution for learning is substantial, including 26 PMs and 27 Nobel Laureates. People from Oxford include Kings and Queens and heads of government, Bishops and Cardinals and religious leaders, poets and novelists from Joseph Heller, John Donne to Percy Bysshe Shelley. Dramatists like Oscar Wilde or Russel T Davies. Children's writers like Lewis Carroll or Richard Adams. Scholars like Melvyn Bragg, Samuel Johnson, CS Lewis and JRR Tolkein. Rupert Murdoch. Richard Burton. Emilia Fox. Michael York. Rowan Atkinson. Dudley Moore. Donald Crisp. Hugh Grant. Andrew Lloyd Webber. Graham Wiggins. Kris Kristopherson. Edward James and Christopher Wren. Without her, the world would be poorer.

But today is not just a one thing day. Samuel Morse got a patent for the telegraph in 1840. Alexander Graham Bell installed the worlds first telephone service in 1877. Victoria Terminus, the busiest railway in India first opened today in 1887. On this day in 1893, Lizzie Borden was acquitted of the murders of her dad and step mum. America is great. In 1940, Italy attempted to invade France, but the greater display of chutzpah was three Jews and a priest from Auschwitz dressing as SS and driving away in an SS marked car in '42. One of them fought for the Polish resistance before being jailed for 7 years by the communists following the war. Typically, the reprisals were tragic, with inmates being tattooed with a number following the escape and family members imprisoned and killed. There were race riots in Detroit in '43. Ed Sullivan show began in '48. A red telephone connected the US President and Soviet Premier in '63. Watergate tapes were found to be an imperfect medium in '72. In Nicaragua the US ABC lost a journalist in '79 .. Carter having done for him as Whitlam had the Balibo 5.

In 1733, noted Cherry tree hacker Betty Washington Lewis was born, George would try to cover for her (I cannot tell a lie, I cut down that cherry tree). Cricketer Jack Worrall was born in 1860.

Morning

"And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost."
Acts 2:4

Rich were the blessings of this day if all of us were filled with the Holy Ghost. The consequences of this sacred filling of the soul it would be impossible to overestimate. Life, comfort, light, purity, power, peace; and many other precious blessings are inseparable from the Spirit's benign presence. As sacred oil, he anoints the head of the believer, sets him apart to the priesthood of saints, and gives him grace to execute his office aright. As the only truly purifying water he cleanses us from the power of sin and sanctifies us unto holiness, working in us to will and to do of the Lord's good pleasure. As the light, he manifested to us at first our lost estate, and now he reveals the Lord Jesus to us and in us, and guides us in the way of righteousness. Enlightened by his pure celestial ray, we are no more darkness but light in the Lord. As fire, he both purges us from dross, and sets our consecrated nature on a blaze. He is the sacrificial flame by which we are enabled to offer our whole souls as a living sacrifice unto God. As heavenly dew, he removes our barrenness and fertilizes our lives. O that he would drop from above upon us at this early hour! Such morning dew would be a sweet commencement for the day. As the dove, with wings of peaceful love he broods over his Church and over the souls of believers, and as a Comforter he dispels the cares and doubts which mar the peace of his beloved. He descends upon the chosen as upon the Lord in Jordan, and bears witness to their sonship by working in them a filial spirit by which they cry Abba, Father. As the wind, he brings the breath of life to men; blowing where he listeth he performs the quickening operations by which the spiritual creation is animated and sustained. Would to God, that we might feel his presence this day and every day.

Evening

"My Beloved is mine, and I am his: he feedeth among the lilies. Until the day break, and the shadows flee away, turn, my Beloved, and be thou like a roe or a young hart upon the mountains of Bether."
Song of Solomon 2:16-17

Surely if there be a happy verse in the Bible it is this--"My Beloved is mine, and I am his." So peaceful, so full of assurance, so overrunning with happiness and contentment is it, that it might well have been written by the same hand which penned the twenty-third Psalm. Yet though the prospect is exceeding fair and lovely--earth cannot show its superior--it is not entirely a sunlit landscape. There is a cloud in the sky which casts a shadow over the scene. Listen, "Until the day break, and the shadows flee away."

There is a word, too, about the "mountains of Bether," or, "the mountains of division," and to our love, anything like division is bitterness. Beloved, this may be your present state of mind; you do not doubt your salvation; you know that Christ is yours, but you are not feasting with him. You understand your vital interest in him, so that you have no shadow of a doubt of your being his, and of his being yours, but still his left hand is not under your head, nor doth his right hand embrace you. A shade of sadness is cast over your heart, perhaps by affliction, certainly by the temporary absence of your Lord, so even while exclaiming, "I am his," you are forced to take to your knees, and to pray, "Until the day break, and the shadows flee away, turn, my Beloved."

"Where is he?" asks the soul. And the answer comes, "He feedeth among the lilies." If we would find Christ, we must get into communion with his people, we must come to the ordinances with his saints. Oh, for an evening glimpse of him! Oh, to sup with him tonight!

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)
