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? 

Editorial AGW campaign claims Japanese institution?

Toshiba has a history dating back to 1875 Japan. She is most famous for tv electronics and nuclear power stations. Since Japan scaled back nuclear power stations following Fukushima, when a nuclear disaster was averted by effective standards, following an earthquake. Toshiba is no longer a consumer electronics producer, following bankruptcy of her subsidiary Westinghouse in 2017. 

Keeping the books balanced during the anti nuclear crusade is hard. But the press won't admit the issue. So instead, corporate malfeasance becomes the story. Green industry is unprofitable and funded by hollowing out valuable industry. AGW hysteria is making the world poorer. 

Editorial, Who speaks for 'all women'?

It is a truth that only racists speak for all black peoples, who is it in the media who speaks for all women? Under what circumstance might their claim be verified? Polling booths? Except that data is not captured in Australian voting booths, where the vote is secret. The 'journalist' Samantha Maiden, has written a piece claiming former deputy PM Barnaby Joyce could not get votes from females, according to unnamed colleagues. Are these the same colleagues who claimed Abbott could not get votes from females? How could the journalist verify the source claims? Or, hasn't the journalist made any effort to verify anything? Under what world view could such a claim be made? 

Barnaby Joyce was an effective leader with Abbott. Joyce was responsible for '100 dams' legislation which will change Australia from a desert dominated wasteland to a world breadbasket. ALP has opposed all such progressive moves, as did Malcolm Turnbull. Where Joyce has run afoul is over his personal life in which he had had the sad fact of a failed marriage and went on to marry a trusted adviser. Joyce has never betrayed his public trust, and might be faultless privately, for all the public knows. Similar could not be said of the ALP, or Turnbull.

Here is a video I made Touched by an Angel Maya Angelou

Poem read in the first season of Touched by an Angel by Maya Angelou
Maya Angelou (pronounced /ˈmaɪ.ə ˈændʒəloʊ/; born Marguerite Ann Johnson on April 4, 1928) is an American autobiographer and poet who has been called "America's most visible black female autobiographer" by scholar Joanne M. Braxton. She is best known for her series of six autobiographical volumes, which focus on her childhood and early adult experiences. The first and most highly acclaimed, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings (1969), tells of her first seventeen years. It brought her international recognition, and was nominated for a National Book Award. She has been awarded over 30 honorary degrees and was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize for her 1971 volume of poetry, Just Give Me a Cool Drink of Water 'Fore I Diiie.

Don't give up on hope. Judge Kennedy resigns from SCOTUS (Supreme Court of the United States). He had been appointed by Reagan under a Democrat Congress and had been a swing voter on the court. It remains to be seen if another can be appointed who is not a weathervane. Even so, a law has been overturned in the US that will now prevent trades unions from spending non member money on supporting Democrats against worker wishes. When will corrupt members of the US establishment face justice? 

Curriculum development day is getting distressing at extreme left wing schools in Victoria. Also, Trump Derangement Syndrome claims many intellectuals. Red Hen owner destroys their own business as Trump Derangement Syndrome claims another victim. 

Reports are coming in Dr William McBride has died, but no links. He was one of Australia's greatest researchers who achieved fame for linking Thalidomide to birth defects. His later work was attacked for his advocacy. Almost as if he had not believed in AGW. 

Rebel Wilson has had her damages cut for defamation. She cannot prove, legally, the damage she suffered from the defamation. She wasn't engaged with salaried work. The media are not innocent. The money should be given to charity, imho because the money had been given to charity anyway, so that seems like a fair resolution, if it is adopted. I see no reason why media should prosper from defamation. I have no sympathy for those robbers. All that has been said is that she has not proven her damages. But that is subject to judicial bias or competence and there is much calling that into question. Wilson should be niche because of her weight. However she had gained a teen audience despite that and that is why, apparently, she was targeted for defamation. She has now not got the audience as those who defamed her wish. And it won't come back. The accusation of unmerited damages is offensive to me, I have been victim to denial of justice as a whistleblower.

Anti immigrant idiots are screaming White Flight. However, the issue should be cultural assets. Cultural assets unite us, while minority advocacy divides us. Australia is culturally diverse and great for it. However, many recent migrants are xenophobes who do not like cultural diversity but like the money that flows from it. Australia's population is too small, but skewed to the eastern seaboard. Australia needs more people. Colour is irrelevant.

Effective craft are worth it for what they do, expand Australia's surveillance of blind spots. They don't need arms as Australia's airforce is potent. More red tape to address what is not happening in Australia. But, it will be more paperwork for 3000 businesses who trade here. Government tries to make sure companies are not involved with slavery. Greens move to remove Senate Prayer. What about outlawing thinking before decision making too? 'Nice girl', nurse accused of connection to IS. Nice soccer team lost. Australian Cricket team is really nice. 

Via SW "The Labor Shadow Treasurer of Australia (Chris Bowen) actually said these words:
The PBO (Parliamentary Budget Office ) has clearly shown that the unfair Turnbull Government tax cuts offer no benefit to those who don’t pay tax.
This is plainly unfair that people should not get a tax cut just because they don’t pay tax.
God help Australia if we inherit this."

Some things should not happen, but they do. Dan Andrews deserves credit for working on level crossings. He is replacing level crossings where railway lines and roads meet and engineering solutions so that traffic is separated from the rail lines. This means fewer accidents. It is not Andrews' idea, Napthine's Liberal Government (and Baillieu) initiated the program and set in motion what is being done now. Andrews' government is doing it badly, inconveniencing commuters and spending big, creating a large bureaucracy to do it. But in doing it badly, Andrews gets credit for the work. But giving Andrews credit overstates the achievement. Victoria is suffering because of bad decisions Andrews has made. People are not safe, and do not feel safe at home, at work or at recreation activities. The only place with rising employment is public service bureaucracy. Business costs are rising and power is no longer reliable, thanks to Andrews government's decisions. Wholesale electricity prices are rising as much as five times what they were last year from 4 cents a kilowatt hour to 20 cents a kilowatt hour. Retail is worse. And base load provision is compromised without Hazlewood, yet the Andrews Government has banned exploration or development of reserves. So that once Victoria had the world's cheapest supply which she could export, now she must import expensive power. And the result will be loss of business and a high opportunity cost loss to Victoria's economy. 

Jeff Kennett spoke at the Olympic Hotel Silver Room today at a business function led by Craig Ondarchie, Shadow Minister for Industry in Victoria. Kennett raised the above issues, but also praised Matthew Guy for getting together teams committed to rebuilding Victoria. It is hard to get a team together in opposition. One cannot pay essential personnel for their work. Ondarchie is doing magnificent work in preparation for a possible Liberal win in Victoria at the end of 2018. The Liberals under Matthew Guy will have policies and plans in place to hit the ground running. So that Victorians can feel safer everywhere. So that Victorians can work and profit from working. So that energy can, once again, be locally sourced, cheap and abundant. Craig Ondarchie took time out to endorse one of my history books.

It is hard to kill a cockroach. Sometimes they are deceptively fast. They crawl into spaces that are hard to get to. Neil Prakash is like a cockroach. We thought he died in a drone strike. Malcolm Turnbull claimed it. But you can't trust a Malcolm Turnbull claim. Prakash was a Melbourne based lapsed Buddhist who embraced Daesh terror which some call Islam. He was wanted for the assassination of a Sydney police accountant Curtis Chang. Chang was killed by a 15 yo school boy who had been radicalised by Prakash. It is important Prakash face justice. Maybe Prakash feels he has reasons for his behaviour. It does not matter what they are. It is very disappointing that that drone strike missed him. He is not Gollum, from the Lord of the Rings. Gollum had a purpose. Prakash has a death cult. 

For some, at the moment, the Sex Party has more credibility.  
=== from 2015 ===
Cardinal Pell proves his innocence of ugly smears, again. Those who unjustly accused him and denounced him have not, and may never, apologise. The media have played a strong role in spreading the smears, a role that goes beyond the legal function of the media. They have discredited Pell without foundation and campaigned against him for no reason. It was a mistake for the ABC to put a jihadist on tv. Some mistakes are never redressed. 

ISIL attacks. #Irodewithyou. "A normal Muslim family with no terror ties" beheaded a factory owner and tried to blow up the neighbourhood with a chemical attack, while carrying an ISIL flag. The father of three was known to authorities and had been on a watch list. The mother was on radio denouncing his arrest and making the claim. A compelling case, were yet another needed, for the reform movement of Islam of which there are very few. But the Paris attack was only one of three or four around the world, all claimed by ISIL and all claimed by those enthralled by the left to be inspired inflations of news media. The correct world response, according to some, would be to stop mining in Papua New Guinea and to stop talks on free trade in the Pacific. ISIL would love to conflate tragedy and exploit poverty. PNG needs to be cleaned of corruption. Pacific trade needs to be protected by a free trade agreement. But the real issue is the response to terror. In Tunisia, at a beach resort, a gunman who hid his weapon in a parasol killed 37. In Kuwait, at a mosque, a bomber killed many. Incoming reports are of a distressed flight on a plane bound from Europe to NYC. It is Ramadan, and the jihadists who cross dress to kill for their pathetic deity claim to be Islamic. So do many of their victims. If Waleed Ali claims that the terrorist attacks were wrong, one hopes he also explains why they weren't Islamic. And why the Islamic world should reject these Ramadan festivities. Meanwhile the Pope claims to recognise Palestine, the so called state of Jordanian refugees who pioneered the current reign of terror. It won't promote peace. 

US adopts gay marriage and kills one fugitive. The fugitive had escaped from jail with another. Both killers. As many have found out recently, it is bad to resist arrest. He would still have been safe in jail, but one had promised a friendly guard he would kill her husband. And marriage is important to the identity of many. One hopes the new inductees will act to preserve the sanctity of union, and not now promote bestiality and multiple partners. Some say it is a human right, but the UN condemns torture in other circumstances. It is worth noting that Islam views marriage with multiple partners as acceptable. Time to see who is the more progressive? There are calls for Australia to recognise gay marriage. But she already does for those married elsewhere. Civil unions are already legally recognised. So the call for gay marriage is not a call for a new right in Australia, but for the state to dictate to churches. Some churches will embrace it anyway, not being allowed to perform services previously because the state would not let them. Why is there need by many for the state to approve their sex lives? As for state recognition, Gays have had a role in state since the time of Tiberius, according to Suetonius. Maybe it isn't gender that is the issue. Maybe, all a person need be in any community (except jihadi ones) is to be a good person, gracious kind and giving. In such a community, Gays fit in. If they want. But, not the fugitive killer who is still on the run. 

Left struggling with truth. The existential threat of jihad is not the same as Islam. But Islam has a big problem it needs to address. Poverty is an existential threat that needs to be addressed. Climate Change is not a good excuse to make and keep people poor. Wealth redistribution is a failure. Wealth creation is the only way to lift the poor from poverty. Jordanian refugees have no connection to an ancient state called Palestine. Tax and big government do not make people happy, even if Stalin preferred it. 
From 2014
I admire people who serve. One great man, who was a great boy, made a significant achievement on this day, aged 13, in 1899. AEJ Collins scored 628 not out for his house in schoolboy cricket, the highest innings of any form of cricket of all time. Purists might dispute that he had been dropped several times, and the scoring was haphazard, with one scorer declaring he had been robbed of at least 20 runs. It was scored over three days, in less than eight hours. Bowling in the same match, he took 11 for 63, and the house he captained won an innings and 688 runs. He never played first class cricket. As a man, he joined the army to serve. He was killed at Ypres in 1914. And his young widow lived for another fifty years. Because service sparks devotion. He was an orphan, and in centuries past, nobody would have bothered to educate him. But because of conspicuous wealth of the industrial revolution, education became essential to have employees capable of factory labour. And I salute that boy, who would become that man. He achieved any schoolboy's dream on this day in 1899, but earned it through service. 

On this day in 1946, their parliament forever confused the Fairfax Press and ABC by defining what it meant to be Canadian. Terrorists captured a plane and redirected it to Entebbe on this day in 1976. Born on this day was John Monash (1865), Hellen Keller (1880), Michael Ball (1962) and JJ Abrams (1966). In this day in 1844, Mormon Prophet Joseph Smith and his brother were lynched in jail and killed. I am reminded of one of my favourite authors (Maps in a mirror, Orson Scott Card) that the faith has mythic elements like any religion, which doesn't bear scrutiny, but he retains his faith. I am not Mormon, but I know many fine people who are.

Today's Old Testament reading: Job 5-7

1 "Call if you will, but who will answer you?
To which of the holy ones will you turn?
2 Resentment kills a fool,
and envy slays the simple.
3 I myself have seen a fool taking root,
but suddenly his house was cursed.
4 His children are far from safety,
crushed in court without a defender.
5 The hungry consume his harvest,
taking it even from among thorns,

as surely as sparks fly upward.

The Church Persecuted and Scattered


On that day a great persecution broke out against the church in Jerusalem, and all except the apostles were scattered throughout Judea and Samaria. 2 Godly men buried Stephen and mourned deeply for him. 3 But Saul began to destroy the church.

"Art thou become like unto us?"
Isaiah 14:10
What must be the apostate professor's doom when his naked soul appears before God? How will he bear that voice, "Depart, ye cursed; thou hast rejected me, and I reject thee; thou hast played the harlot, and departed from me: I also have banished thee forever from my presence, and will not have mercy upon thee." What will be this wretch's shame at the last great day when, before assembled multitudes, the apostate shall be unmasked? See the profane, and sinners who never professed religion, lifting themselves up from their beds of fire to point at him. "There he is," says one, "will he preach the gospel in hell?" "There he is," says another, "he rebuked me for cursing, and was a hypocrite himself!" "Aha!" says another, "here comes a psalm-singing Methodist--one who was always at his meeting; he is the man who boasted of his being sure of everlasting life; and here he is!" No greater eagerness will ever be seen among Satanic tormentors, than in that day when devils drag the hypocrite's soul down to perdition. Bunyan pictures this with massive but awful grandeur of poetry when he speaks of the back-way to hell. Seven devils bound the wretch with nine cords, and dragged him from the road to heaven, in which he had professed to walk, and thrust him through the back-door into hell. Mind that back-way to hell, professors! "Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith." Look well to your state; see whether you be in Christ or not. It is the easiest thing in the world to give a lenient verdict when oneself is to be tried; but O, be just and true here. Be just to all, but be rigorous to yourself. Remember if it be not a rock on which you build, when the house shall fall, great will be the fall of it. O may the Lord give you sincerity, constancy, and firmness; and in no day, however evil, may you be led to turn aside.

"Having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust."
2 Peter 1:4
Vanish forever all thought of indulging the flesh if you would live in the power of your risen Lord. It were ill that a man who is alive in Christ should dwell in the corruption of sin. "Why seek ye the living among the dead?" said the angel to Magdalene. Should the living dwell in the sepulchre? Should divine life be immured in the charnel house of fleshly lust? How can we partake of the cup of the Lord and yet drink the cup of Belial? Surely, believer, from open lusts and sins you are delivered: have you also escaped from the more secret and delusive lime-twigs of the Satanic fowler? Have you come forth from the lust of pride? Have you escaped from slothfulness? Have you clean escaped from carnal security? Are you seeking day by day to live above worldliness, the pride of life, and the ensnaring vice of avarice? Remember, it is for this that you have been enriched with the treasures of God. If you be indeed the chosen of God, and beloved by him, do not suffer all the lavish treasure of grace to be wasted upon you. Follow after holiness; it is the Christian's crown and glory. An unholy church! it is useless to the world, and of no esteem among men. It is an abomination, hell's laughter, heaven's abhorrence. The worst evils which have ever come upon the world have been brought upon her by an unholy church. O Christian, the vows of God are upon you. You are God's priest: act as such. You are God's king: reign over your lusts. You are God's chosen: do not associate with Belial. Heaven is your portion: live like a heavenly spirit, so shall you prove that you have true faith in Jesus, for there cannot be faith in the heart unless there be holiness in the life.
"Lord, I desire to live as one
Who bears a blood-bought name,
As one who fears but grieving thee,

And knows no other shame."

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)
