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.

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. Rubbish collection is a major part of the work of local council. However, at bus stops, some responsibility is on the shoulder of public transport. Or, in front of business, like the actual bus company, it might be the purview of that company. The Keneally St stop in Dandenong outside Ventura busses in Dandenong is a grey area. It is supposed to be so green there is no rubbish bin for collection. And so refuse is left there, sometimes for months on end. Occasionally, a wheelie bin is left next to the stop, and it quickly fills, then spills rubbish. The last two summer vacation time periods have had the wheelie bin filled and not emptied for months at a time. Since about March the bin is gone, and people leave bags of rubbish there.
Former Australian Chief Justice Laurence Street has died aged 91. It is ok to die old and blessed. Streets' own life was distinguished and high achieving having been highly promoted from a young age by successive ALP governments, after going to war in WW2 at a young age. He had five children, divorced his first wife and had another. He once chaired Fairfax and was lieutenant governor of NSW. The press report totally ignores his extraordinary background, being descended from William the Conqueror.
Loss of Charles Krauthammer is profound, as an article from 2012 shows. He understood. Blame for Eurydice murder does not rest on all men, but is partly at the foot of Dan Andrews as well as the perpetrator. Obama administration placed children into the arms of people smugglers. Indonesia sentences terrorist to death. The radical Islamic cleric Abdurrahman had publicly called for terrorist hits in Indonesia. Crying girl on Time Magazine cover had not been separated from mother, parents claim. The award winning hoax photographer hasn't clarified?
“The June 12 photograph of the 2-year-old Honduran girl became the most visible symbol of the ongoing immigration debate in America for a reason: Under the policy enforced by the administration, prior to its reversal this week, those who crossed the border illegally were criminally prosecuted, which in turn resulted in the separation of children and parents," TIME editor-in-chief Edward Felsenthal said. "Our cover and our reporting capture the stakes of this moment.”
Yet, in its story about the photo, TIME included the following correction: "The original version of this story misstated what happened to the girl in the photo after she taken from the scene. The girl was not carried away screaming by U.S. Border Patrol agents; her mother picked her up and the two were taken away together."

Some things should not happen, but they do. Australian conservatives were conned into dumping Tony Abbott as PM. Malcolm Turnbull did not cleverly or surgically knife Abbott, but unleashed uncontrollable forces which are now claiming Turnbull too. A year out from elections, robot call polling 250,000 by Catholics in marginal seats for Liberals is painful. The Victorian Liberals had gained a 53:47 lead over the ALP. The Federal Liberals trail the ALP 47:53. At the grass roots, the Liberal Party state and federal are the same. The difference is Malcolm Turnbull. Malcolm is trying to spend more money on ALP areas so as to nullify the advantages the ALP have of claiming anything. But in doing that, he has sacrificed the actual principles of Liberal Government the brand founded by Menzies thrived on. The Libs don't have the rust of the ALP. Once the Libs ditch their heartland it won't come running back. And only Tony Abbott has the skill and proven ability to restore the core values of the Libs. But the enormity of Turnbull's betrayal may yet prevent that.
Turnbull knifed Abbott many ways. One was using the Clinton Foundation using foreign aid money while Bishop was foreign minister under Abbott. The Clinton foundation had many well placed ALP friends. In order to roll Abbott, Turnbull needed polling data. It seems strange that Gillard would use her misogyny speech as she did against Abbott. Because Abbott is a family man with three healthy daughters, a loving wife and working well with a female press secretary. Unless you realise it was part of a concerted campaign against him. Because much has been made about how women distrust Tony Abbott, and yet there is nothing in his background or public life deserving of such a reputation. But the negative campaign fed into polls, and although the polls were real, the campaign to target those polls was specific and damaging. So damaging as to threaten Abbott supporters should he be considered again. But that is what millions of dollars of foreign aid money will buy from the Clinton Foundation. At the same time, Turnbull promised Libertarians he would do things he never did, or apparently even ever intended to do. It is very hard for Libertarians to now know what to do as they naturally don't like conservatives anyway. A lot of good people were duped into supporting Turnbull. And now the lie is being pedalled that Australia cannot go back to Tony Abbott. But the truth is, Tony Abbott is still a capable leader capable of leading the Liberals to victory over the ALP. Malcolm Turnbull is only capable of further humiliating himself in office.
In 217 BC, Battle of Raphia: Ptolemy IV Philopator of Egypt defeated Antiochus III the Great of the Seleucid kingdom. Both kingdoms were Greek cultured, descending from Alexander the Great's campaigns. Both used similar mixes of infantry, cavalry and elephants. African elephants used by Ptolemy panicked and charged their own troops. But overall, Ptolemy had the larger, better infantry and won. It had implications for Jerusalem. 168 BC, Battle of Pydna: Romans under Lucius Aemilius Paullus defeated Macedonian King Perseus who surrendered after the battle, ending the Third Macedonian War. The night before the fight there was a lunar eclipse which spooked the Macedonians. The battle favoured the larger (44000) Macedonian force to the (29000) Roman two legions, but when the legions had an orderly retreat onto uneven ground, and the heavy Macedonian cavalry failed to engage in the retreat, the tide turned and the Macedonian King fled. Rome lost over a thousand men. Macedon lost over twenty five thousand men. 1633, the Holy Office in Rome forced Galileo Galilei to recant his view that the Sun, not the Earth, is the centre of the Universe in the form he presented it in, after heated controversy.
In 1807, in the Chesapeake–Leopard Affair, the British warship HMS Leopard attacked and boarded the American frigate USS Chesapeake. The British had a pretext of searching for deserters, and they captured four men, one of which they hanged. The result was President Jefferson, in impotent fury, resorted to a trade embargo. 1813, War of 1812: After learning of American plans for a surprise attack on Beaver Dams in Ontario, Laura Secord set out on a 30 kilometre journey on foot to warn Lieutenant James FitzGibbon. 1897, British colonial officers Charles Walter Rand and Lt. Charles Egerton Ayerst were assassinated in Pune, Maharashtra, India by the Chapekar brothers and Mahadeo Vinayak Ranade, who were later caught and hanged. The hate crime was committed to prevent the British from treating the area hit hard by plague.

Malcolm Turnbull spoke to the cameras and misrepresented the party he represents and the positions he holds. He became PM promising to voice the need for reform. Instead on Medicare he promises never to improve it. Then Shorten spoke to the camera and lied about what he was claiming. According to Shorten, Turnbull is intending to bring in a US style health care system (Obamacare?) but, Shorten claims Turnbull can do this by privatising the collection service of medicare. As if using Australia Post to accept deposits would ruin a health care system that kills hundreds annually from inefficiency. Shorten feels the issue validates his calling pensioners and push polling the idea that the Liberals will privatise Medicare. But what is needed is for Australian health to be run as efficiently as Amazon. Some will claim we must fight to save people whatever the cost. The truth is that we can only ever own what we can afford.
For some, at the moment, the Sex Party has more credibility.

NSW Government is expected to have a surplus of $2,1 billion tomorrow morning. That will lower overall debt by about a quarter for NSW. NSW have increased spending on important core sectors of health, education, security and infrastructure. Responsible decision making has meant NSW can prosper. She has a conservative government. Responsible decisions have been opposed by the ALP. When the ALP were in government they expanded expenditure but could not balance a budget.
A green discussion paper has been released, leaked, by the public service to embarrass the government. Discussion is important and many ideas are presented in green discussion papers that are not present in white policy papers. ALP does not value discussion, and one joke is that one way green papers are made white papers by the ALP is to photocopy them. But conservative governments need public discussion and one idea on the leaked green paper is that rich people pay for the public schooling of their own children. Many wealthy send their children to private schools, so the change would only be subtle. The policy change would threaten the viability of elite performance public schools. The green paper is federal and has no bearing on state schooling. Meanwhile in South Australia a school is being lauded for middle schooling years 8 to 10. The idea is to remove the year designations and stream kids through individualised programs. It is a complete waste of time which makes tremendous demands on staff and parents for no academic reward. It pretends to address individual need, but in fact children at that age prosper in school and class conformity. If the school is traditionally dysfunctional the problem is not the school structure but possibly staff and community issues which will not be addressed by the highly lauded change.
Reports are coming in that two terrorists who renounced their Australian Citizenship to fight for ISIL have been killed in fighting in Mosul. The papers are calling them Australian. The law says they aren't. Or weren't. The ALP thinks they should be. The Greens feel their comrades are too.

There has been substantial loss on this day. Garland (1969), Astaire (1987), McGrath (2008) and as well, CJ Dennis (1938). The great Australian poet who was the first to use Australian vernacular, explained the enormity of WW1 with his Songs of a Sentimental Bloke and Ginger Mick. Almost unreadable for modern children, it would be tragic if Dennis were forgotten. Even now, the school child's struggle with Shakespeare is better described by Dennis than any teacher's description of Hamlet. And his story of love exceeds any offering of tv drama. But his soldiers are real. His pride is real. Forget English, new migrants should be made to answer comprehension questions of CJ Dennis poetry. And I'll stoush anyone who disagrees or cheats by using Dusk. He died on the eve of WW2, of old age. A broken and dishevelled Garland had sung of a land over the rainbow. Dennis brought it to us. It is Australia, mate.
In 1633, Galileo was made to recant his view that the universe travelled around the sun, in favour of the absurd theory that the sun travelled around the Earth. And while Stephen Fry might claim on QI that there was never a time in recorded history that authorities thought the world was flat, it was on this day they came closest to it. In 1783, a poison cloud that was not man made floated from Iceland to France .. but it was natural, not man made, so we didn't need to address it. In 1813, a woman keen to defend Beaver walked 30 km to warn a Fitzgibbon. In 1839, Cherokee John Ridge was assassinated for his signing a document that resulted in the death of a quarter of Cherokee on the trail of tears. In his defence, he had negotiated a bad deal with a Democrat President Andrew Jackson, Old Hickory. 175 years of reform later, Democrat Obama is no better over Iraq.
In 1954 in Christchurch, two heavenly creatures gave rise to a Peter Jackson film when they murdered the mum who they felt threatened their friendship. In 1990, Checkpoint Charlie was dismantled in Berlin. In 2009, Kodak consigned Paul Simon's Kodachrome song to history by stopping the production of their film.

Haman's Plot to Destroy the Jews
1 After these events, King Xerxes honored Haman son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, elevating him and giving him a seat of honor higher than that of all the other nobles. 2 All the royal officials at the king's gate knelt down and paid honor to Haman, for the king had commanded this concerning him. But Mordecai would not kneel down or pay him honor.
3 Then the royal officials at the king's gate asked Mordecai, "Why do you disobey the king's command?" 4 Day after day they spoke to him but he refused to comply. Therefore they told Haman about it to see whether Mordecai's behavior would be tolerated, for he had told them he was a Jew....

22 But on arriving at the jail, the officers did not find them there. So they went back and reported, 23 "We found the jail securely locked, with the guards standing at the doors; but when we opened them, we found no one inside." 24 On hearing this report, the captain of the temple guard and the chief priests were at a loss, wondering what this might lead to.25 Then someone came and said, "Look! The men you put in jail are standing in the temple courts teaching the people." 26 At that, the captain went with his officers and brought the apostles. They did not use force, because they feared that the people would stone them....

Morning
The entire person of Jesus is but as one gem, and his life is all along but one impression of the seal. He is altogether complete; not only in his several parts, but as a gracious all-glorious whole. His character is not a mass of fair colours mixed confusedly, nor a heap of precious stones laid carelessly one upon another; he is a picture of beauty and a breastplate of glory. In him, all the "things of good repute" are in their proper places, and assist in adorning each other. Not one feature in his glorious person attracts attention at the expense of others; but he is perfectly and altogether lovely.
Oh, Jesus! thy power, thy grace, thy justice, thy tenderness, thy truth, thy majesty, and thine immutability make up such a man, or rather such a God-man, as neither heaven nor earth hath seen elsewhere. Thy infancy, thy eternity, thy sufferings, thy triumphs, thy death, and thine immortality, are all woven in one gorgeous tapestry, without seam or rent. Thou art music without discord; thou art many, and yet not divided; thou art all things, and yet not diverse. As all the colours blend into one resplendent rainbow, so all the glories of heaven and earth meet in thee, and unite so wondrously, that there is none like thee in all things; nay, if all the virtues of the most excellent were bound in one bundle, they could not rival thee, thou mirror of all perfection. Thou hast been anointed with the holy oil of myrrh and cassia, which thy God hath reserved for thee alone; and as for thy fragrance, it is as the holy perfume, the like of which none other can ever mingle, even with the art of the apothecary; each spice is fragrant, but the compound is divine.
"Oh, sacred symmetry! oh, rare connection
Of many perfects, to make one perfection!
Oh, heavenly music, where all parts do meet
In one sweet strain, to make one perfect sweet!"
Evening
The foundation upon which our faith rests is this, that "God was in Christ reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them." The great fact on which genuine faith relies is, that "the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us," and that "Christ also hath suffered for sin, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God"; "Who himself bare our sins in his own body on the tree"; "For the chastisement of our peace was upon him, and by his stripes we are healed." In one word, the great pillar of the Christian's hope is substitution. The vicarious sacrifice of Christ for the guilty, Christ being made sin for us that we might be made the righteousness of God in him, Christ offering up a true and proper expiatory and substitutionary sacrifice in the room, place, and stead of as many as the Father gave him, who are known to God by name, and are recognized in their own hearts by their trusting in Jesus--this is the cardinal fact of the gospel. If this foundation were removed, what could we do? But it standeth firm as the throne of God. We know it; we rest on it; we rejoice in it; and our delight is to hold it, to meditate upon it, and to proclaim it, while we desire to be actuated and moved by gratitude for it in every part of our life and conversation. In these days a direct attack is made upon the doctrine of the atonement. Men cannot bear substitution. They gnash their teeth at the thought of the Lamb of God bearing the sin of man. But we, who know by experience the preciousness of this truth, will proclaim it in defiance of them confidently and unceasingly. We will neither dilute it nor change it, nor fritter it away in any shape or fashion. It shall still be Christ, a positive substitute, bearing human guilt and suffering in the stead of men. We cannot, dare not, give it up, for it is our life, and despite every controversy we feel that "Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure."

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)
