Editorial on Haiti Assassination and Biden Presidency
Because of corruption involving the Clinton Foundation and Haiti reconstruction, the assassination of Haiti's President by a mercenary team involving US citizens takes on a particular piquancy. It does not mean Biden is behind the assassination, But, what must be of concern to non partisan Americans is the circumstance resulting in the death. To draw a parallel, Australia had had a decade of conservative government leading up to the Rudd Government election in 2007. Rudd promised change based on a pragmatic economic conservative approach he never followed. But, before Rudd penned a schoolboy level essay trumpeting the jettison of economic conservatism, he turned to enlightened foreign policy. Rudd would not tolerate insurrection in Timor led by the separatist Alfredo Reinado. Rudd might not have given tacit permission for friendly black ops to hit Reinado, But, the hit almost claimed the lives of Timor's Prime Minister and President. Following, Timor ties with ALP led Australia were poisoned.
Biden needs a foreign policy win. A strong statement on a nation close to America means a lot for Biden who looks weak and foolish, derided by friends and foes. Who mourns the Haiti strongman? Who mourned Reinado? However, Rudd's bungled foreign policy echoes the Haiti experience. Just like Ukraine's illegal painting of their military aircraft as civilian was never discussed by international media, we may never hear who ordered the hit on the Haiti President, but those involved with the execution will be persecuted. After all, those involved might point the finger, if asked, at .. Biden?
Editorial Trump policy prosecuting legal cases
Trump legal policy appears to be corruptly deprived of standing and provision. How else can one explain the quandary Trump finds himself? It is as if the Democrats own the judicial process and it is up to the voter to rid the US of Democrats in 2022, so that an independent congress and eventually, judiciary, can reassert themselves. There are powerful truths supporting that view, from Hunter Biden's laptop, through Giuliani's slap down by NY judges, The Russian collusion hoax and two fake impeachment trials. But, sometimes, Trump looks like he is deliberately shooting himself in the foot, as with his lawyer's approach to suing Big Tech. It is as if a Trump lawyer is applying a poison pill to the case to sabotage what Trump could pursue legally in better directions.
Why else would Trump lawyers use class action to pursue what Trump can claim as a private citizen? Is it because Trump can lose these cases and better pursue public support for 2022? Can Democrats afford to let Trump win these cases so as to avoid losing the publicity war? Or are Democrats geared to lose regardless?
The corrupt Democrat LBJ stole preselection for Texas from a fellow Democrat in '48. The case went to the Supreme Court which claimed it had no standing as it was a preselection for Democrats, and they were allowed to be corrupt. The federal aspect of any campaign not being decided by Democrats preselecting a thief. It had only been a few years after UK lords had hanged Lord Haw Haw, William Joyce for treason, even though he wasn't English at all, but Irish. The UK Lords had had no standing, but as they say in law, if there aren't double standards, then there are no standards at all. Joyce had had a fake UK passport. I'm sure Barnaby Joyce would understand that such loopholes in citizenship are fraught.
I no longer care for the opinion of judges. I want Trump to have his presidency restored, and for Democrats to be stripped of their party status.

Here is a video I made Botany Bay
Botany Bay is a song from the musical burlesque, Little Jack Sheppard, a comedy staged in London, England in 1885 and Melbourne, Australia in 1886. The show was written by Henry Pottinger Stephens and William Yardley, though the music for "Botany Bay" was written by Florian Pascal, a pseudonym for Joseph Williams, Jr. (1847-1923), a music publisher and composer. The song shares two verses with Fairwell to Judges and Juries which had been performed in 1820.
Botany Bay was the designated settlement for the first fleet when it arrived in Australia in the eighteenth century. It was a settlement intended for the transport of convicts to Australia. The song describes the period in the late late 18th and 19th centuries, when British convicts were deported to the various Australian penal colonies by the British government for seven-year terms as an alternative to incarceration in Britain. The second verse is about life on the convict ships, and the last verse is directed to English girls and boys as warning not to steal.
After the production of Little Jack Sheppard, the song became a popular folk song and has been sung and recorded by Irish folk singers, Burl Ives, and many others. It is played as a children's song on compilations, particularly in Australia.
The song is referenced in many documentaries researching the transport of convicts to Australia, a practice that had ceased before the song was made
I'm sure most can sing it better, and Burl Ives is great. I can't seem to find his version.

Nicely sung. But I think I can sing it better, alone of course. Now in finding you (this video) which I listened all through to, I've found Burl Ives recorded the song, And although I can't recall ever-erer hearing it, I've decided it I most likely prefer-erer.

Don't give up on hope. Many hate Hillary Clinton. I am not personally offended by her. But serious questions are asked about her character. They've not been answered appropriately so long as she is not in jail. One issue is her friendship of anti semitic spokespeople. This is illustrated by Anne-Marie Slaughter's email of September 2010 proposing a pledge for Palestine appeal to shame Israel. Hillary met with Sidney Blumenthal at State Department "During the fallout from her use of a personal email account, Hillary Clinton has attempted to downplay her working relationship with Sidney Blumenthal, but emails released last week show that the two met at her State Department office in 2012 (from Jan 2016). Hillary was interested in an anti semitic article while she was secretary of state "Hillary Clinton, the frontrunner for the Democrats’ 2016 presidential nomination, expressed interest in a virulently anti-Israel article written by a radical anti-Israel activist, and published in a Hezbollah-affiliated news site, while she was serving as Secretary of State. (March 2016). The article, titled, “The Bibi Connection,” was published by Al-Akhbar, a Hezbollah-affiliated website, and was forwarded to Clinton by Sidney Blumenthal, a top unofficial advisor of Clinton’s.
...
Other documents show Mrs. Clinton has taken a noted interest in Max Blumenthal’s writings. In another email, she requested that five copies of one of his articles be printed.
Hillary's embrace of Max Blumenthal. "Who is Max Blumenthal, why is he a Hillary Clinton Israel Svengali and does he pose as big a headache for Hillary as Jeremiah Wright did for President Barack Obama? The well-known proverb declares you can tell a lot about a person by the company they keep.
...
Throughout all of this, there is no email showing Hillary objecting to any of these anti-Israel articles and opinions that Blumenthal continually sent her. To this day, even in light of all these damning exchanges being made public, Hillary has yet to apologize or publicly distance herself from Sidney or Max Blumenthal. Will Hillary disassociate herself from the crackpot anti-Israel theories of Max Blumenthal? We’re all waiting to see."
For $10k a month, Hillary paid her advisor, there is no email extant from her showing she questioned the bigotry, the suggestion of ethnic cleansing, the genocidal attitude. It illustrates the disturbing partisan nature of the swamp that crosses government, public service and media. What if a conservative expressed similar views? Hillary has said she does not support BDS, but what action has she ever taken suggesting that belief is true?
I reposted a comment from a guy who did not want to be banned on Face Book. He had written that holocaust denial was hate speech. I reposted that publicly and one commenter asked me support my argument. It is a truth, not an argument, so I gave personal testimony illustrating my proximity to the issue (I lost family to the Holocaust). I'm not Jewish, but according to Nazi orthodoxy, my grandmother (on my father's side) was Jewish and therefore I would be executed by Nazis because of my ancestry.
People do not argue politely these days. If they did so, it would be more efficient and people of good heart would improve. I posted on WW2 yesterday as to why the invasion of Normandy did not take place until June 1944, the suggestion being that people were twiddling their thumbs. I checked some of the answers and they defended the thumb twiddling. But that is not what happened. In 1940, when UK nearly lost her army in Europe and grimly defended her shores, she also fought around the world, in Singapore, in North Africa, In Crete etc etc. Churchill had a lan to liberate all of Europe through the back door, but FDR and Stalin nixed the plan. Even so, Italy was liberated and was the Middle East, sort of. 1944 was the earliest time of opportunity for the largest invasion in modern history at Normandy. Even so, immense planning went into it.

Gabrielle Williams was appointed Parliamentary Secretary for Carers and Volunteers, working with the Minister for Housing, Disability and Ageing and the Minister for Families and Children. Dan Andrews, Premier of Victoria and ALP has not explained how the party could charge the taxpayer over $330k to pay for Red Shirt volunteers .. and then charge the taxpayer over a million dollars preventing an inquiry into it. Andrews says he was not aware that it was wrong to take the money, and so the stolen money has been returned, but not the million dollar lawyer bill for defending the corruption without putting up a defence for it. It looks like Andrews has mislead parliament and should resign.

I don't have party resources, and so my campaign is on foot, and on the internet. Any money I receive that is not spent on the campaign will go to Grow 4 Life.

Some things should not happen, but they do. BBC spends a lot of money on their presenters, and it is embarrassing some. Apparently, it costs a lot to find people who think the same way. BBC like to choose people whom they know so well they will say exactly the right thing without prompting. BBC discussions must start and end with everyone agreeing with the party line. It is ok to joke abut being different or tolerant. The biggest problem BBC has at the moment is finding individuals who meet multiple racial characteristics. Black white asians don't just fall out of trees. Possibly. The issue was driven home to me when my friend got a project he made out of high school into ABC/SBS studios. Maximum Choppage round 2 was a home made martial arts film with a simple romantic storyline. ABC/SBS saw the potential, and made a series out of it. Only the series portrayed gender bending leads and none of the innocence and charm of the original concept. It could have portrayed Australian Asians as they are in a humorous light. Instead it imposed politically correct safe schools type licentiousness which denigrates the community.
In 484, Leontius, Roman usurper, was crowned Eastern emperor at Tarsus (modern Turkey). He was recognised in Antioch and made it his capital. 711, Umayyad conquest of Hispania: Battle of Guadalete: Umayyad forces under Tariq ibn Ziyad defeated the Visigoths led by King Roderic. 998, Arab–Byzantine wars: Battle of Apamea: Fatimids defeated a Byzantine army near Apamea. 1333, Wars of Scottish Independence: Battle of Halidon Hill: The English won a decisive victory over the Scots.
1545, the Tudor warship Mary Rose sank off Portsmouth; in 1982 the wreck was salvaged in one of the most complex and expensive projects in the history of maritime archaeology. 1553, Lady Jane Grey was replaced by Mary I of England as Queen of England after only nine days on the throne. 1588, Anglo-Spanish War: Battle of Gravelines: The Spanish Armada was sighted in the English Channel.
1843, Brunel's steamship the SS Great Britain was launched, becoming the first ocean-going craft with an iron hull or screw propeller and becoming the largest vessel afloat in the world. 1940, Field Marshal Ceremony: First occasion in World War II, that Hitler appointed field marshals due to military achievements. Also 1940, World War II: Army order 112 formed the Intelligence Corps of the British Army. 1942, World War II: Battle of the Atlantic: German Grand Admiral Karl Dönitz ordered the last U-boats to withdraw from their United States Atlantic coast positions in response to the effective American convoy system. 1947, the Prime Minister of the shadow Burmese government, Bogyoke Aung San and 6 of his cabinet and 2 non-cabinet members were assassinated by Galon U Saw.
1981, in a private meeting with U.S. President Ronald Reagan, French Prime Minister François Mitterrand revealed the existence of the Farewell Dossier, a collection of documents showing that the Soviets had been stealing American technological research and development. 1983, the first three-dimensional reconstruction of a human head in a CT was published.

Malcolm Turnbull needs to be applauded for his ministry picks now. Because the team will get few kudos down the track. An issue with choice is that the more bad choices you make, the harder it becomes to make a good choice. Turnbull suffers from this. Turnbull backed the dog of Anthropogenic Global Warming. Now he has a conservative government that hesitates to pursue effective economic policy. Turnbull undermined Abbott. Now Turnbull won't use a very capable Minister because he is afraid of being undermined the same way he would. But Abbott is not the kind of person who would take a picture of himself standing behind a guy in a "Fuck Malcolm Turnbull" T-Shirt. Turnbull has chosen to not act selflessly for Australia. All that awaits Turnbull is humiliation as his poor choices return to him. Turnbull has a good treasurer and a new appointee of Zed is very good too. But will Turnbull back either? Or will Turnbull quiver in indecisive fear?

Holocaust survivor calls Obama new Hitler. Obama's deal with Iran is defended by White House press release, which misleadingly says that all pathways to a nuclear bomb have been blocked. But, Hitler pointed to peaceful intentions too. The approved nuclear reactor Iran is building has only one purpose, and that is to build nuclear weapons. This is because of its' nature and size. If Iran wanted nuclear power generators, more efficient ones would be smaller. And the nuclear material is all Iran needs to build a bomb. Also, Iran has received many billions of dollars and has not released the four hostages she keeps. Canada is right to not accept the deal. But what about the Holocaust survivor's opinion? Obama, as some have pointed out in his defence is not co-opting the military to take over the world, as Hitler did. However, his contempt for foreigners and dismissal of the existential threat to Israel, his maintenance of power through illegitimate means and his closeness to bad people around the world are consistent with the murderous dictator.
Pell redirects Pope's misdirection regarding climate change. International media characterise the disagreement as an attack. Cardinal Pell is respectful of the Pope. However Pope Francis was wrong to place Papal authority on the mistaken view of anthropogenic global warming, AGW. Pell is correct to point out AGW is not a science, but even if it were, it is irrelevant to faith. But putting science aside, the faithful have a duty to the world where they have been given authority. Try not to kill everybody, but keep a future prosperous. Pell has not disagreed with that.
Akerman repositions media on right wing extremism. The insane right wing in the US have not behaved as badly as jihadists do. However, as with impotent Islamic leaders, it is incumbent on the leaders of the insane right to explain themselves better than they have. It is not good enough to badly quote scripture and then claim authority. It is not good enough to have thugs unchecked spouting bigotry exactly as the Brownshirts did in the nineteen thirties. Reclaim leaders, you are challenged to spell out reasoned, sensible policy.
ISIL car bomb kills 120 in market. They chose the end of the Islamic festival for exactly the same reasons that Reclaim Australia chose to march against Islamic migrants.
The left makes many insane claims that go unchecked but are enthusiastically spread as meme. The Abbott government has cut back on spending on welfare, lifting some five percent instead of seven percent. So Green groups spread a meme that all welfare for the elderly is to be cut. They frighten the elderly and the compassionate. In fact, spending is increased, but not as much as it might be.
Bolt savages Hockey and Bronwyn Bishop and worries about imported ethnic danger. Bolt has episodes where he recalls his glory days writing for Bob Hawke. The sad truth is Hawke was undeserving of adulation and the inflations Bolt launches here are unworthy. Maybe Bronwyn Bishop has lost the confidence of her leader, Mr Abbott. But the expenses issue at the moment are not as egregious as Rudd or Gillards or Slipper. Some of the media are confused regarding Slipper. They are drawing equivalence between the House Speakers. And when comparing claims, a theft may resemble a mistake of judgement. But the two should not be confused. More concerning is the repeated meme regarding dangerous imports. Border security is a serious issue. But while impotent Islamic leaders fail often to espouse virtues of their culture, they aren't the same as jihadis. One worrying issue is the civil code not recognising a war with jihadis. But that is not the same as Bolt's dog whistling the repeated meme.
Bandit artist is highly lauded with Archibald prize for portrait, worth $100k. The artist, Nigel Milsom, had bashed a shop keeper for smokes and $1000 in 2012. The subject of the portrait was his lawyer. More like a likeness of a mummified corpse.

From 2014
The media are bloviating wildly over the tragedy of Malaysian flight 17 over Ukraine. We know that Russia has been fighting a war by proxy between Russian sympathisers and Ukrainian hardliners. Ukraine has an illegitimate government propped up by the White House as it is oppositional to Moscow. Moscow have retaliated by seizing their naval hub in Crimea. The Russian action was apparently endorsed by Obama in his second election bid. Predictably, the international media, in order to protect Obama from criticism, are denouncing Russia for shooting down a passenger jet. Were it not for the appearance that Ukraine profits from the tragedy, I would willingly join in with censuring Russia. However, I am uncomfortable with Ukraine benefiting from the tragedy. The situation is parlous. Already the ABC (Australian variety) have verballed the Australian PM and forced the Russian government to denounce what Mr Abbott was reported to have said, not what he actually said. Important questions might not be addressed if the media stampede is allowed to proceed. Who knew Ukrainian planes had already been shot down in the area? Why was Malaysia Airlines' risk assessment protocol not initiated? Who knows there is a war being fought in Ukraine? What has the UN done to provide mitigation for the war in Ukraine? Why was the flight targeted? Did Ukraine have anything to do with the targeting of the flight, assuming they did not shoot it down? Central to the suspicious intercepts of communications regarding the missile hit is the acknowledgement Ukraine knew who was targeting aircraft and how they were .. so did they use a commercial flight to influence world opinion? The family of the victims deserve to know the truth, not the hysteria.

Today's New Testament reading: Acts 20:17-38
On to Jerusalem
1 After we had torn ourselves away from them, we put out to sea and sailed straight to Kos. The next day we went to Rhodes and from there to Patara. 2 We found a ship crossing over to Phoenicia, went on board and set sail. 3 After sighting Cyprus and passing to the south of it, we sailed on to Syria. We landed at Tyre, where our ship was to unload its cargo. 4We sought out the disciples there and stayed with them seven days. Through the Spirit they urged Paul not to go on to Jerusalem. 5 When it was time to leave, we left and continued on our way. All of them, including wives and children, accompanied us out of the city, and there on the beach we knelt to pray. 6 After saying goodbye to each other, we went aboard the ship, and they returned home....

Morning
The camp of Dan brought up the rear when the armies of Israel were on the march. The Danites occupied the hindmost place, but what mattered the position, since they were as truly part of the host as were the foremost tribes; they followed the same fiery cloudy pillar, they ate of the same manna, drank of the same spiritual rock, and journeyed to the same inheritance. Come, my heart, cheer up, though last and least; it is thy privilege to be in the army, and to fare as they fare who lead the van. Some one must be hindmost in honour and esteem, some one must do menial work for Jesus, and why should not I? In a poor village, among an ignorant peasantry; or in a back street, among degraded sinners, I will work on, and "go hindmost with my standard."
The Danites occupied a very useful place. Stragglers have to be picked up upon the march, and lost property has to be gathered from the field. Fiery spirits may dash forward over untrodden paths to learn fresh truth, and win more souls to Jesus; but some of a more conservative spirit may be well engaged in reminding the church of her ancient faith, and restoring her fainting sons. Every position has its duties, and the slowly moving children of God will find their peculiar state one in which they may be eminently a blessing to the whole host.
The rear guard is a place of danger. There are foes behind us as well as before us. Attacks may come from any quarter. We read that Amalek fell upon Israel, and slew some of the hindmost of them. The experienced Christian will find much work for his weapons in aiding those poor doubting, desponding, wavering, souls, who are hindmost in faith, knowledge, and joy. These must not be left unaided, and therefore be it the business of well-taught saints to bear their standards among the hindmost. My soul, do thou tenderly watch to help the hindmost this day.
Evening
Locusts always keep their rank, and although their number is legion, they do not crowd upon each other, so as to throw their columns into confusion. This remarkable fact in natural history shows how thoroughly the Lord has infused the spirit of order into his universe, since the smallest animate creatures are as much controlled by it as are the rolling spheres or the seraphic messengers. It would be wise for believers to be ruled by the same influence in all their spiritual life. In their Christian graces no one virtue should usurp the sphere of another, or eat out the vitals of the rest for its own support. Affection must not smother honesty, courage must not elbow weakness out of the field, modesty must not jostle energy, and patience must not slaughter resolution. So also with our duties, one must not interfere with another; public usefulness must not injure private piety; church work must not push family worship into a corner. It is ill to offer God one duty stained with the blood of another. Each thing is beautiful in its season, but not otherwise. It was to the Pharisee that Jesus said, "This ought ye to have done, and not to have left the other undone." The same rule applies to our personal position, we must take care to know our place, take it, and keep to it. We must minister as the Spirit has given us ability, and not intrude upon our fellow servant's domain. Our Lord Jesus taught us not to covet the high places, but to be willing to be the least among the brethren. Far from us be an envious, ambitious spirit, let us feel the force of the Master's command, and do as he bids us, keeping rank with the rest of the host. To-night let us see whether we are keeping the unity of the Spirit in the bonds of peace, and let our prayer be that, in all the churches of the Lord Jesus, peace and order may prevail.

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)
