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 The Singing Soldiers
"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.

Don't give up on hope. I once corresponded with criminal reporter Gary Hughes. The online group he formed looked at current cases. One case was an Underbelly case of a hitman who was jailed. One of our group responded they wanted him to feel pain in jail. The guy, Melbourne mafia .. replied to the reporter he had killed others that had not been caught .. then posted a post card to the guy who wanted him to feel pain. The card was from the Australian TV show Homicide. Thing is, he could not spell to save his own life but got the address perfect .. suggesting help. Pain guy contacted the jail to see if it really was him, and they refused to confirm it without letting him know he was successful in getting to Pain guy, but they said it could be him. So some jerk prison warden approved a mafia hit on a joe blow citizen. Pain guy took it to Fairfield police and the Detective sergeant kept it, and left no record he had it. It should concern Victorians that the ALP have let things get so bad. There is an argument that the ALP should be wound up as an ongoing criminal concern steeped in corruption.
Albanese is like the drover's dog. ALP long for him, but he will do nothing worthwhile. Shorten is an ugly prospect who will hurt Australia if he is PM. However, Shorten has come to this position because he is dog whistling the ALP faithful who left because of Rudd Gillard. Add to that the awful MT PM experience after MT spent years undermining the Libs and aligned with the Clinton Foundation. Conservative supporters are denied a direction of support with the collapse through smear of Joyce and Gichuhi and the stiff arming of Cory Bernardi and Abbott .. last federal election Australia threaded the needle returning Libs but very little majority and no senate so MT would get rolled .. but he stays .. next time .. ?
Sweden recycling claims are substantial and not believable. They claim they only place 1% of their rubbish in landfill, import rubbish and use rubbish to generate power, and profit. My local council claims to recycle to save the world. But, my local council only gets residents to separate some of the rubbish. Then local council has to further sort it. Only council does not save the world and the process is inefficient. Landfill is a superior option at the moment. But how about we examine the Swedish claims? Anyone is free to burn their own rubbish in back yards (Via BF). If Sweden's method is profitable the world would do it. So it isn't. And so landfill is a superior option, if it is done right.

Some things should not happen, but they do. The issue of waste and overspending in schools is salient, and Pauline Hanson correctly called it out recently. But she is also a little gun shy and defensive, and when the outrage lobby went digging, Hanson had not the acumen to stand by her position. On Bolt Report, Hanson was asked about how Hansard was not the same as what she read in parliament. Hanson denied changing Hansard. But that was not the issue. In Hanson's maiden speech she made wildly wrong population figures to illustrate her argument that Australian borders needed to close. The protectionist argument is irrational, because migration (of the orderly type) is an essential mix to a growing economy. Australia has boundless plains to share. But the issue of some autistic children being mainstreamed is important. Australia spends a lot on education, and much is wasted. In some circumstances, mainstreaming some autistic children is wrong. Because there are more appropriate ways of helping those children. Cheaper too. But while Hanson started that argument, she got lost. And that is sad.
In 109, Roman emperor Trajan inaugurated the Aqua Traiana, an aqueduct that channeled water from Lake Bracciano, 40 kilometres (25 miles) north-west of Rome. 474, Julius Nepos forced Roman usurper Glycerius to abdicate the throne and proclaimed himself Emperor of the Western Roman Empire. 637, the Battle of Moira was fought between the High King of Ireland and the Kings of Ulster and Dalriada. It is claimed to be the largest battle in the history of Ireland. 972, Battle of Cedynia, the first documented victory of Polish forces, took place.

The 52 to 48 vote to exit EU for the UK will not end the UK's relationship with Europe, but it will change it. Probably for the better. As Turkey jumps on, UK saves herself. The socialist elites did not want it. They threatened a new world order would erupt with Brexit. One that would bankrupt the UK. But now there is the possibility of free trade where there was not. The socialist pollsters did not get it right again. They had it much closer, and going the other way. Even after the voting began. At 11am Melbourne time, news reported Farage conceding and the vote being 49.5 to 50.5 for remaining in Europe. By 3pm Cameron offered his resignation in October. A chance for UK to get a good conservative leader not subject to AGW hysteria. So will cats sleep with dogs? Would their offspring be loyal mouse catchers? We shall soon know.

UN report denies Israel's right to self defence. The report suggests Israeli leaders could be arrested. There are few bigoted organisations more corrupt, or well endowed with funds, than the UN. One organisation that would like to be as endowed and corrupt is the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC). ABC have recently paid a known terrorist advocate to ask a question of a government spokesperson on their QandA program. The audience sided with the bigot.

Tonight around the world, many journalists are hammering home a point .. Al Jazeera is a news network reporting news. Another point they will claim is that Greste was falsely convicted on trumped up charges. It is claimed that the prosecution was inept and used footage of Greste out of context. The truth is Egypt is allowed to prosecute criminals who have endorsed terrorism and misrepresented news around the world. Egyptians have died from Islamic Brotherhood propaganda and Greste has wilfully profited from spreading that propaganda. Had I been paid by Al Qaeda to spruik their activity I would expect the US to arrest and detain me. If anyone wants to help Greste, they should encourage him and Al Jazeera to apologise to the world for spreading propaganda. Egyptians have died for the lies, and not only them.
The truth is that leftists will cut their own throats before admitting they have been broadly wrong across most issues. Were it any different, ABC would have a bigger audience, and the Age and SMH would sell more papers. Blood is flowing across the Middle East and the only nation capable of peaceful interaction with all the peoples is held in contempt by Al-Jazeera .. Israel. Israel does not want to run the middle east, but she wants peace. You would not know that if you followed Al Jazeera .. or the ABC .. or the Age and SMH. Greste does not deserve to be jailed for seven years in Egypt. And neither does he deserve to profit from the freely flowing blood.
The Battle of Bannockburn was fought today, 1314. Scotland won the enduring right to shake their bare bottoms at their enemies. In 1340, the English King commanded a fleet which almost annihilated the French fleet. In 1374, Germany, the people experienced St John's dance. Lefties experience it today when they heard of mosques being planned to be built in inner city locales. In 1509, Henry VIII married his older brother's wife. In 1846, Adolphe Sax could at last play his instrument on stage in front of a public audience. 1947, Arnold reported a UFO .. another expression of St John's Dance. In 1957, The US Supreme Court ruled that obscenity was not protected by freedom of speech. In 2010, Julia Gillard surprised the ABC by deposing Rudd, a leader the ABC could not fault, for reasons she did not give. Sadly, she failed to change the policies which did not work .. another expression of St John's dance. On the same day, the longest match in Wimbledon history was played.

Today's Old Testament reading: Esther 9-10
1 On the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, the month of Adar, the edict commanded by the king was to be carried out. On this day the enemies of the Jews had hoped to overpower them, but now the tables were turned and the Jews got the upper hand over those who hated them. 2 The Jews assembled in their cities in all the provinces of King Xerxes to attack those determined to destroy them. No one could stand against them, because the people of all the other nationalities were afraid of them. 3 And all the nobles of the provinces, the satraps, the governors and the king's administrators helped the Jews, because fear of Mordecai had seized them. 4 Mordecai was prominent in the palace; his reputation spread throughout the provinces, and he became more and more powerful....

Stephen's Speech to the Sanhedrin
1 Then the high priest asked Stephen, "Are these charges true?"
2 To this he replied: "Brothers and fathers, listen to me! The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham while he was still in Mesopotamia, before he lived in Harran. 3 'Leave your country and your people,' God said, 'and go to the land I will show you.'
4 "So he left the land of the Chaldeans and settled in Harran. After the death of his father, God sent him to this land where you are now living. 5 He gave him no inheritance here, not even enough ground to set his foot on. But God promised him that he and his descendants after him would possess the land, even though at that time Abraham had no child. 6 God spoke to him in this way: 'For four hundred years your descendants will be strangers in a country not their own, and they will be enslaved and mistreated. 7 But I will punish the nation they serve as slaves,' God said, 'and afterward they will come out of that country and worship me in this place.' 8 Then he gave Abraham the covenant of circumcision. And Abraham became the father of Isaac and circumcised him eight days after his birth. Later Isaac became the father of Jacob, and Jacob became the father of the twelve patriarchs...."

Morning
A cake not turned is uncooked on one side; and so Ephraim was, in many respects, untouched by divine grace: though there was some partial obedience, there was very much rebellion left. My soul, I charge thee, see whether this be thy case. Art thou thorough in the things of God? Has grace gone through the very centre of thy being so as to be felt in its divine operations in all thy powers, thy actions, thy words, and thy thoughts? To be sanctified, spirit, soul, and body, should be thine aim and prayer; and although sanctification may not be perfect in thee anywhere in degree, yet it must be universal in its action; there must not be the appearance of holiness in one place and reigning sin in another, else thou, too, wilt be a cake not turned.
A cake not turned is soon burnt on the side nearest the fire, and although no man can have too much religion, there are some who seem burnt black with bigoted zeal for that part of truth which they have received, or are charred to a cinder with a vainglorious Pharisaic ostentation of those religious performances which suit their humour. The assumed appearance of superior sanctity frequently accompanies a total absence of all vital godliness. The saint in public is a devil in private. He deals in flour by day and in soot by night. The cake which is burned on one side, is dough on the other.
If it be so with me, O Lord, turn me! Turn my unsanctified nature to the fire of thy love and let it feel the sacred glow, and let my burnt side cool a little while I learn my own weakness and want of heat when I am removed from thy heavenly flame. Let me not be found a double-minded man, but one entirely under the powerful influence of reigning grace; for well I know if I am left like a cake unturned, and am not on both sides the subject of thy grace, I must be consumed forever amid everlasting burnings.
Evening
Even in this world saints are God's children, but men cannot discover them to be so, except by certain moral characteristics. The adoption is not manifested, the children are not yet openly declared. Among the Romans a man might adopt a child, and keep it private for a long time: but there was a second adoption in public; when the child was brought before the constituted authorities its former garments were taken off, and the father who took it to be his child gave it raiment suitable to its new condition of life. "Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be." We are not yet arrayed in the apparel which befits the royal family of heaven; we are wearing in this flesh and blood just what we wore as the sons of Adam; but we know that "when he shall appear" who is the "first-born among many brethren," we shall be like him, we shall see him as he is. Cannot you imagine that a child taken from the lowest ranks of society, and adopted by a Roman senator, would say to himself, "I long for the day when I shall be publicly adopted. Then I shall leave off these plebeian garments, and be robed as becomes my senatorial rank"? Happy in what he has received, for that very reason he groans to get the fulness of what is promised him. So it is with us today. We are waiting till we shall put on our proper garments, and shall be manifested as the children of God. We are young nobles, and have not yet worn our coronets. We are young brides, and the marriage day is not yet come, and by the love our Spouse bears us, we are led to long and sigh for the bridal morning. Our very happiness makes us groan after more; our joy, like a swollen spring, longs to well up like an Iceland geyser, leaping to the skies, and it heaves and groans within our spirit for want of space and room by which to manifest itself to men.

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)
