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 Sick Rose
William Blake (28 November 1757--12 August 1827) was an English poet, painter, and printmaker. Largely unrecognised during his lifetime, Blake is now considered a seminal figure in the history of both the poetry and visual arts of the Romantic Age. His prophetic poetry has been said to form "what is in proportion to its merits the least read body of poetry in the English language". His visual artistry has led one contemporary art critic to proclaim him "far and away the greatest artist Britain has ever produced". Although he lived in London his entire life except for three years spent in Felpham he produced a diverse and symbolically rich corpus, which embraced the imagination as "the body of God", or "Human existence itself"The invisible worm,
That flies in the night
In the howling storm:
Has found out thy bed
Of crimson joy:
And his dark secret love
Does thy life destroy.

Don't give up on hope. The tolerance of the left is questionable. Sarah Sanders was refused service in a restaurant because she is working for Trump. The press publish lies and Trump has correctly labeled it #FakeNews. And the press continue publishing lies. Coaxed @PhiloFiles has tweeted, in exasperation, "I asked my 5yo if she wanted to come to a protest with me this weekend. Once I had explained what we were protesting she looked at me with tears in her eyes and said "I hope they take me away too. I'm so sick of your utter rubbish"" I cannot think of any Dem who is faithful or wants to be. For them, "Be all you can be" is different to my interpretation. I view it as growing and benefiting everyone. Their interpretation is solely related to gender.
Malcolm Turnbull style leaks against Senator Lucy Gichuhi are ongoing and mean she will lose the next election, being placed fourth on the Liberal list. The Liberals are not grooming viable members who offer the party broad public appeal, but instead the executive are busy littering the party with group think AGW believers. Lucy crossed a line, but probably was egged on by party insiders, before being hung out to dry. Meanwhile the Monash Forum has shown the number of coal fired power stations built around the world, because they provide cheap base-load power, but Australia is retiring hers for expensive unreliable power sources. For every plastic bag you buy, a fish is drowned. Some will be killed and eaten. Precious few are eaten alive. Woolworths has 'banned' plastic bags by not providing them at checkout, but offering to charge fifteen cents for plastic bags. They claim that it is for the environment.
ALP have a debt legacy. A meme that is an utter lie says otherwise. Whitlam presided over a fall in real wages after a legacy of real growth under Menzies. Hawk and Keating realised an average loss of real wages of some 2.3% per annum, while Howard's government realised a net annual rise of 1.9% per annum. The 'World Placing index' is not based on objective measures. |

Some things should not happen, but they do. Track work at Dandenong station and the lift works intermittently, which means not at all. Two nights in a row, the Pakenham train which normally pulls into platform three has been directed to platform two which requires stairs or lift. Last night, a young woman in a wheelchair was told she would have to go to another station and catch a taxi back. Thank you Dan Andrews. Many say Andrews is incompetent and too close to the unions. But I feel he is corrupt and just hates people.
In 1180, First Battle of Uji, started the Genpei War in Japan. It included an early example of ritual suicide to accept facing defeat. 1280, the Battle of MoclÃn took place in the context of the Spanish Reconquista pitted the forces of the Kingdom of Castile against the Emirate of Granada. The battle resulted in a Granadian victory. 1305, a peace treaty between the Flemish and the French was signed at Athis-sur-Orge. 1314, First War of Scottish Independence: The Battle of Bannockburn (south of Stirling) began.
In 1611, The mutinous crew of Henry Hudson's fourth voyage sets Henry, his son and seven loyal crew members adrift in an open boat in what is now Hudson Bay; they are never heard from again. Hudson had apparently used the oars of his open boat to keep pace with the sailing vessel for some time, but the mutineers unfurled more sail and sped away. 1661, marriage contract between Charles II of England and Catherine of Braganza.

What is and is not Islamic is hard to pin down for those who are not Muslim. One senses that it is hard to pin down for Muslim people too. A senior Turkish religious scholar has excused fathers lusting after their daughters if they are over nine years old. The defense is based on scripture. Homosexuality is deemed bad, and many Sharia compliant nations execute people found to have been gay. However, ISIS soldiers have been granted permission to engage in homosexual relations by religious leaders. The hypocrisy makes it hard for inept bureaucrats to judge activity. A gay Islamic terrorist has gunned down some a hundred and fifty at his pick up joint and Obama backers find their eyes glazing over working out what, if anything, was wrong. Terrorist cross dress to smuggle weapons, and yet Islamic authorities place a high price on women wearing women's clothing, but excuse men doing it too. Islam has a problem and needs reform. It is not helpful to claim it doesn't. And it is prudent to defend one's self against those who would commit acts of terror.
For some, at the moment, the Sex Party has more credibility. The inspiring piece from "Love at First Sight" where tv and scientists combine to bring couples together, who have never met before, and see if the predictions that they are going to be good together, has been reached. Some have drifted apart, or run away. And one couple had a pregnancy which they kept secret because of the possibility of a miscarriage, and the child miscarried. It is about love. Sometimes love hurts, too. Couples survive miscarriage. And some don't. Grief has long been studied, but is not really a science.
The NSW budget is brilliant. Big spending, yet balanced with a surplus. The ALP debt legacy won't disappear for another four budgets at this rate, and that means for NSW sake the conservatives need to win 2019. Already the media is pursuing possible downsides. It is possible the surplus can't be sustained in future because of falling stamp duty from housing. Also falling federal receipts in Health and Education which the ALP never paid for as she promised them.
In the United States, the President has raised the issue of racism again. His use of the 'N' word in some ways will immunise him from press criticism. He needed to do that as his campaigning and style of administration exploits racism. The US will always have a history, but for the President, it should have remained history. Another issue Obama is exploiting is gun control. Obama won't want to put gun control to bed, Democrats exploit it to hit conservatives with. People are dying for Democrat votes.
From 2014
History changed as a result of one battle, in which 3000 British took out 50000 Bengal and French in 1757. It was before the Annus Mirables (miracle year) in which it would be said that the sun never set on Britain. That would be the year that Nelson was born, Britain secured India and took Quebec. The British position was well fortified and they prudently kept their gunpowder dry during the rain. Yet it is a remarkable victory on numbers alone.
In 1794, Russian Empress Catherine gave permission for Jews to settle in Kiev. Today, not many are left. During the war of 1812, Britain gave in to US demands for free trade on this day. In 1942, while Nazis were introducing gas chambers, a german pilot mistakenly landed their brand new aircraft, a Focke-Wulf, on a British airbase. Study is good. In 1958, the Dutch reformed church began accepting female ministers. 1959, German spy Klaus Fuchs was released, having served 9 years for his giving atomic secrets to the Soviet Union. In 1982, idiot auto workers in Michigan lynched a Chinese American student because they thought he had been Japanese. It would not have been right or fair if he had been. The killers were sentenced to three years probation. Killing without a license is wrong, but with a license?
Ceasarion was born on this day, 47 BC. A good boy, he was too reliant on his dad. The great Alan Turing and June Carter Cash were born on this day, as were Bryan Brown, Clarence Thomas and Joss Whedon. A great day for art. Goodbye to Jonas Salk and Maureen O'Sullivan. It is ok to die old, blessed and loved.

Today's Old Testament reading: Esther 6-8
Mordecai Honored
1 That night the king could not sleep; so he ordered the book of the chronicles, the record of his reign, to be brought in and read to him. 2 It was found recorded there that Mordecai had exposed Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king's officers who guarded the doorway, who had conspired to assassinate King Xerxes.
3 "What honor and recognition has Mordecai received for this?" the king asked.
"Nothing has been done for him," his attendants answered.
4 The king said, "Who is in the court?" Now Haman had just entered the outer court of the palace to speak to the king about impaling Mordecai on the pole he had set up for him....
Today's New Testament reading: Acts 6
The Choosing of the Seven
1 In those days when the number of disciples was increasing, the Hellenistic Jews among them complained against the Hebraic Jews because their widows were being overlooked in the daily distribution of food. 2 So the Twelve gathered all the disciples together and said, "It would not be right for us to neglect the ministry of the word of God in order to wait on tables. 3 Brothers and sisters, choose seven men from among you who are known to be full of the Spirit and wisdom. We will turn this responsibility over to them 4 and will give our attention to prayer and the ministry of the word."

Morning
"He shall build the temple of the Lord; and he shall bear the glory."Zechariah 6:13 Christ himself is the builder of his spiritual temple, and he has built it on the mountains of his unchangeable affection, his omnipotent grace, and his infallible truthfulness. But as it was in Solomon's temple, so in this; the materials need making ready. There are the "Cedars of Lebanon," but they are not framed for the building; they are not cut down, and shaped, and made into those planks of cedar, whose odoriferous beauty shall make glad the courts of the Lord's house in Paradise. There are also the rough stones still in the quarry, they must be hewn thence, and squared. All this is Christ's own work. Each individual believer is being prepared, and polished, and made ready for his place in the temple; but Christ's own hand performs the preparation-work. Afflictions cannot sanctify, excepting as they are used by him to this end. Our prayers and efforts cannot make us ready for heaven, apart from the hand of Jesus, who fashioneth our hearts aright.
As in the building of Solomon's temple, "there was neither hammer, nor axe, nor any tool of iron, heard in the house," because all was brought perfectly ready for the exact spot it was to occupy--so is it with the temple which Jesus builds; the making ready is all done on earth. When we reach heaven, there will be no sanctifying us there, no squaring us with affliction, no planing us with suffering. No, we must be made meet here--all that Christ will do beforehand; and when he has done it, we shall be ferried by a loving hand across the stream of death, and brought to the heavenly Jerusalem, to abide as eternal pillars in the temple of our Lord.
"Beneath his eye and care,
The edifice shall rise,
Majestic, strong, and fair,
And shine above the skies."
Evening
"That those things which cannot be shaken may remain."Hebrews 12:27
We have many things in our possession at the present moment which can be shaken, and it ill becomes a Christian man to set much store by them, for there is nothing stable beneath these rolling skies; change is written upon all things. Yet, we have certain "things which cannot be shaken," and I invite you this evening to think of them, that if the things which can be shaken should all be taken away, you may derive real comfort from the things that cannot be shaken, which will remain. Whatever your losses have been, or may be, you enjoy present salvation. You are standing at the foot of his cross, trusting alone in the merit of Jesus' precious blood, and no rise or fall of the markets can interfere with your salvation in him; no breaking of banks, no failures and bankruptcies can touch that. Then you are a child of God this evening. God is your Father. No change of circumstances can ever rob you of that. Although by losses brought to poverty, and stripped bare, you can say, "He is my Father still. In my Father's house are many mansions; therefore will I not be troubled." You have another permanent blessing, namely, the love of Jesus Christ. He who is God and Man loves you with all the strength of his affectionate nature--nothing can affect that. The fig tree may not blossom, and the flocks may cease from the field, it matters not to the man who can sing, "My Beloved is mine, and I am his." Our best portion and richest heritage we cannot lose. Whatever troubles come, let us play the man; let us show that we are not such little children as to be cast down by what may happen in this poor fleeting state of time. Our country is Immanuel's land, our hope is above the sky, and therefore, calm as the summer's ocean; we will see the wreck of everything earthborn, and yet rejoice in the God of our salvation.

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)
