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.

Don't give up on hope. There are five by elections tomorrow. Many will already have voted. I've gone on record as backing the Liberal Party, but in the two WA seats of Fremantle and Perth that will not be possible. In Fremantle, Jason Spanbroek is spouting slogans without saying what he will do, except he says he is not a party person. John Gray is a Liberal Democrat and former Royal Australian Navy officer who can be relied on to make serious decisions for the wider community. In Perth, Paul Collins is an independent with sound credentials, but Tony Robinson, the ALA founder, could also be an excellent alternative to the ALP.
The Tasmanian seat of Braddon has Liberal candidate Brett Whitely who is also a former seat holder, having lost to the one who did not get their nationality right, and did not own up to it when they knew they weren't entitled. In the seat of Mayo, Liberals have an outstanding candidate in Georgina Downer. The Centre Alliance candidate who knew they were not entitled to the position but hanged on until their position was declared vacant is campaigning to take Mayo for granted again. Longman has LNP candidate Trevor Luthenberg, a former state member and a former RAAF engineer, who seems great value. Previously the ALP won Longman with One Nation preferences after Julie Bishop and Malcolm Turnbull burned Wyatt Roy.
The Press and ALP are panicking over the by elections because the ALP had lied about their candidates following the High Court decision on citizenship, and sought to obtain advantage while the Liberals faced by elections last year. Except for Mayo in which the Centre Alliance had a snout in the trough. Instead of debating issues, the press have obfuscated by hating Trump, or inflating a medical records issue. Shorten has whistle blown for ALP rust, leaving the actual campaign work of recruiting supporters for the ALP to the press. Shorten has promised to take money from rich people, or rich companies. Press have said people don't like Turnbull as well as Trump. But people are not voting for Turnbull or Shorten. They are voting for ALP or Lib or a sensible alternative where no Lib is campaigning.

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. Williams was unavailable for comment on 3AW on Wednesday, but might not want to comment on an investigation into Red Shirts employed by the ALP. The election is a mere 120 days away. It could be the investigation is a Comey like attempt to prevent actual prosecutions from those who are corrupt. The issue has been live throughout the term of this government after Matthew Guy raised the issue in parliament and press failed to report on it or look into it. The ALP spent over a million dollars of taxpayer money opposing investigation. After the ALP were shown that the practice was corrupt, they paid back the money that was found to be corruptly obtained, but the million dollars spent defending their corrupt activity. Neither were they open about the process which led to the corruption. Why did some ALP members avail themselves of 'free' money, but not others?

As part of the November 24th Vic election campaign I have a petition I want to bring before the Opposition Leader Matthew Guy. I believe Matthew will be the next premier of Victoria and so I am petitioning him as I raise the issues of Employment, Crime and Education in Dandenong. I am also seeking money for my campaign. 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. I am asking questions like "What do you love about Dandenong?" and "If you could change something in Dandenong to make it better, what would it be?" I'm not limiting the questions to state issues. I'm happy to discuss anything, and get things done.

Some things should not happen, but they do. Those hoping that a fair trial and due process would be afforded George Pell regarding pedophile allegations have been disappointed. Pell is Australia's highest ranked Catholic cleric. He had a court appearance today in which anonymous protestors have denounced Pell publicly to tv cameras seen around the world. However there are suppression orders at play. Plenty of police were on hand. However, none of those showing contempt for the court were arrested. Pell cannot face a fair trial if anonymous denouncers are allowed to accost publicly him every time he goes to court. Some trolls are saying "where there is smoke there is fire." Where did the masked denouncers come from? They could have come from Bill Shorten's office, or from Australia's Human Rights Council (AHRC). One held a placard with a convicted pedophile priest on one side, and Pell's picture on the other. But the facts known to date are that Pell was the first Australian senior cleric to address pedophilia and help victims. All who have denounced Pell in the past have been found to have been mistaken or liars. Pell has declared he is not guilty and is going to defend himself. He has legal counsel and did not have to face court today, but did so, knowing the travesty of justice he would face. Victorian Premier Dan Andrews has protected activist vigilantes from police detaining and identifying them, so we do not know who has shown contempt of court or why. Clearly, now, there is a threat to Pell's safety at future appearances. It seems like Pell is technically guilty of being a conservative, but nothing else.
Matt Canavan has resigned from federal government Ministry following revelations that he is a dual citizen. However, unlike the recent Greens loss of two members, it appears Matt might be able to keep his seat. The Greens members had been born overseas. They had failed in their due diligence. However, Canavan was born in Australia to Australian born parents. He says he had not known his mother had made the arrangements when he was 25 years old. If that is the full fact, and the Italian Government recognises the validity of the application, then Canavan can void it and retain his seat. Even if Canavan signed a document that had been misrepresented to him, he might still be allowed to retain his seat. Will Turnbull panic? If Canavan is rolled, then some bad scenarios arise for the Liberal Party. Because Turnbull declared at the double dissolution that the most senior elected senators in terms of votes got a full term, any replacement for Canavan would get a half term and an ALP member would get a full term. Turnbull is currently negotiating to get Senate terms lifted from six to eight years.
I had a situation that is salient. I was a foreign national permanent resident (born in USA) at the time of Hewson's unloseable election on GST. I wanted to support Hewson. When I was 18 I was allowed as a foreign resident to enrol and vote. Bob Hawke got rid of that, but it is unconstitutional to disenfranchise, so anyone who previously voted or registered could continue to vote even if they were not a citizen. I went to an electoral booth and made enquiries about my status. I voted absentee, and got mail weeks later telling me I was not enrolled and my vote was not counted. However, unknown to me, the electoral officer who heard my story at that booth had asked me pertinent questions and I was legally enrolled from that time, even though my vote had not counted. When I moved, as I did often at that time, I did not tell the electoral office, and I did not vote at subsequent elections. Eventually I was fined for not voting. I did not know or pay the fine. I was given a day in court, but had not gone as I had not known. I was sentenced to a day's prison. Only after my car was stolen and I went to report it to the police did I find out about my predicament. I sorted it out with the electoral office, by declaring my citizenship. At the time, that was sufficient for me to be a citizen. I have voted ever since. However, when Bob Carr became Premier of NSW, he destroyed all the paperwork regarding electoral offences. That included my citizenship declaration and when I discovered that, and needed to prove my citizenship, I found the laws had changed and I could no longer make the declaration, so I took the test.

Press are calling for a knee jerk reaction into video of an ice affected young inmate in juvenile detention in the Northern Territory in a spit mask and chair. Words like torture and abuse are tossed around and calls are made for the sacking of government ministers. Tear gas was used too. But clearly the situation is not clear cut. The youth pictured in a chair with a hood over him had been spitting at guards. The use of such chairs is banned in other states, but allowed in NT. The idea of rough handling and gassing youth is clearly illegitimate. But the image of the young man, looking like an Abu Ghraib victim, is confronting. So is the list of offences of the young man. He claims to be Aboriginal and it is apparent that no one who loves him as disciplined him when he was younger. But the issue is not to do with him. The issue is inflated now, and driven by hysterical calls, because there is an election in the NT due next month. The media want to end the conservative government in the NT, but they haven't questioned the ALP on the same issue. "Vote ALP because they don't know what to do. Vote ALP because they didn't know it was happening either." The CLP is divided. So is the ALP.

Father God, this week my project finishes. It has been eight years since I stood on principle and resigned from my secure teacher's position on a social justice issue. I felt isolated and friendless and betrayed. I had a misplaced trust in process and Australian government. Those that loved me told me I needed to lose weight. That is true, but not the issue, either. I ran for government twice, not to win so much as to raise the social justice issue. With help from the press, I didn't win, or come near to it. But, father, I only wanted to hold to you and I have. At times, like today, I have not gone to church and so I have failed you. But I still hold to you, even as I fail. I have lost much I built on sand. I have lost my home, my life savings and all those possessions one collects in life as tokens, reminders of whom they are. I have a few months before all I have is exhausted. But, if I were given a choice, I'd hesitate, and do it again.
Two million words across twelve books written in a year. Four are published and eight will be written in the next fortnight or two. I have sacrificed much friends I have trusted I have also betrayed and I cannot undo it. But I stand by what I did because to not do so would have been worse. Still, I thank those who supported me to persevere when it would have been very easy to give up. My Aunt Joan Watson and my late grandmother Mary MacMahon and their respective offspring are big motivators for me. My cousin Dé Hurwits and his family. My students John Tran, Remi Oh, The Sosins, and their families. My Happy Cup Cabramatta friends Tuan, Christine and Helen. My online colleagues Stephanie Carroll, Mandy McLean, Phil Box, Jenny Vuong, Daniel Katz, Don Kramer and all their families. My close friends from Jesus Family Cabramatta and Marrickville, especially Timothy Ly, and those rogues from Inspire Church and the wonderful former US Army Chaplain John Morris and our Gathering. Also, Edu-Kingdom Bankstown’s William and Anne. This work is not over, the journey is not ended, but definitely we have reached a landmark. Some very special people I cannot name PFB, SLW (nee B) and TMN. Because the dream of tomorrow is the hope given by God. And lastly, thank you to my ‘daughter’ Tammy. Sometimes I long to go home. But, then I remember you are here, Tammy, and I want your future to be bright.
The woods are lovely, dark and deep,But I have promises to keep,And miles to go before I sleep,And miles to go before I sleep.Robert Frost (Stopping by woods on a snowy evening)
Father, you know the IPA (Institute of Public Affairs) and John Roskam, who used to work for my late father. I want my books to reinforce their campaign for free speech. Father God, the work is not complete. Not even as I finish with it. I have failed in my work I dedicated to you. But that is ok. I don't want it to be about me. I don't want people to read it and hear me, but know you. Such a failure is better than any of the wildest successes I might imagine.
From 2014
There is a logical fallacy whereby free speech is compared to hate speech. There is a difference. There may be truth applied to events which the hate mongers describe, but, the weight that hate applies to the subject unbalances it. Free speech is noble and something to aspire to. It is a truth of academia that anyone can have a good idea, it is an idea which should be judged, not the person suggesting it, but a bad idea is not something to be accepted because a bad person suggested it. Australia's government and culture is founded on secular virtues and practice. Not because religion is absent from the members, but because it has been found that that is a way for all the members to work together. Sometimes members don't. Some members here hate a lot. It is a lousy way to live and unhelpful in addressing issues.
A wikipedia article on Al Quds claims to be about the arabic word for Jerusalem. Al Quds day was instituted by the terrorist cleric Khomeini, to be on the last day of Ramadan and allow Iran to fund riots against Israeli government. It is a celebration of Iran sponsoring terrorism, and it has existed for almost ten years. It is a protected article with many terrorist sympathisers resisting balance being brought to the article. A major rewrite is needed for the article, or deletion. The article was placed on the daily summary bulletin as being an international day. It is an example of what is produced by hate.
On this day, the FBI was given personnel in 1908. The CIA was signed into law in 1947. Fidel Castro began the Cuban revolution in 1953. On the same day in 1953, Arizona opposed polygamy. In Vietnam in 1968, the opposition leader was sentenced to five years hard labour for advocating a coalition government to end the war. In 2008, Ahmedabad India was bombed by terrorists. In 2009, Boko Haram attacked Nigerian police. Also on this day, 1989, a guy was indicted for creating a worm on the internet. Winston Churchill was booted from government by the Labour Party in 1945. Passing on this day were Sam Houston (1863), Eva Perón (1952), Mary Wells (1992) and Mary Tamm (2012). Born on this day Franz Xaver Wolfgang Mozart (1791), George Bernard Shaw (1856), Carl Jung (1875), Aldous Huxley (1894), Gracie Allen (1895), Stanley Kubrick (1928), John Howard (1939) Sandra Bullock (1964) and Kate Beckinsale (1973)

Today's New Testament reading: Acts 26
1 Then Agrippa said to Paul, "You have permission to speak for yourself."
So Paul motioned with his hand and began his defense: 2 "King Agrippa, I consider myself fortunate to stand before you today as I make my defense against all the accusations of the Jews,3 and especially so because you are well acquainted with all the Jewish customs and controversies. Therefore, I beg you to listen to me patiently....

Morning
In contending with certain sins there remains no mode of victory but by flight. The ancient naturalists wrote much of basilisks, whose eyes fascinated their victims and rendered them easy victims; so the mere gaze of wickedness puts us in solemn danger. He who would be safe from acts of evil must haste away from occasions of it. A covenant must be made with our eyes not even to look upon the cause of temptation, for such sins only need a spark to begin with and a blaze follows in an instant. Who would wantonly enter the leper's prison and sleep amid its horrible corruption? He only who desires to be leprous himself would thus court contagion. If the mariner knew how to avoid a storm, he would do anything rather than run the risk of weathering it. Cautious pilots have no desire to try how near the quicksand they can sail, or how often they may touch a rock without springing a leak; their aim is to keep as nearly as possible in the midst of a safe channel.
This day I may be exposed to great peril, let me have the serpent's wisdom to keep out of it and avoid it. The wings of a dove may be of more use to me today than the jaws of a lion. It is true I may be an apparent loser by declining evil company, but I had better leave my cloak than lose my character; it is not needful that I should be rich, but it is imperative upon me to be pure. No ties of friendship, no chains of beauty, no flashings of talent, no shafts of ridicule must turn me from the wise resolve to flee from sin. The devil I am to resist and he will flee from me, but the lusts of the flesh, I must flee, or they will surely overcome me. O God of holiness preserve thy Josephs, that Madam Bubble bewitch them not with her vile suggestions. May the horrible trinity of the world, the flesh, and the devil, never overcome us!
Evening
Losses and adversities are frequently the means which the great Shepherd uses to fetch home his wandering sheep; like fierce dogs they worry the wanderers back to the fold. There is no making lions tame if they are too well fed; they must be brought down from their great strength, and their stomachs must be lowered, and then they will submit to the tamer's hand; and often have we seen the Christian rendered obedient to the Lord's will by straitness of bread and hard labour. When rich and increased in goods many professors carry their heads much too loftily, and speak exceeding boastfully. Like David, they flatter themselves, "My mountain standeth fast; I shall never be moved." When the Christian groweth wealthy, is in good repute, hath good health, and a happy family, he too often admits Mr. Carnal Security to feast at his table, and then if he be a true child of God there is a rod preparing for him. Wait awhile, and it may be you will see his substance melt away as a dream. There goes a portion of his estate--how soon the acres change hands. That debt, that dishonoured bill--how fast his losses roll in, where will they end? It is a blessed sign of divine life if when these embarrassments occur one after another he begins to be distressed about his backslidings, and betakes himself to his God. Blessed are the waves that wash the mariner upon the rock of salvation! Losses in business are often sanctified to our soul's enriching. If the chosen soul will not come to the Lord full-handed, it shall come empty. If God, in his grace, findeth no other means of making us honour him among men, he will cast us into the deep; if we fail to honour him on the pinnacle of riches, he will bring us into the valley of poverty. Yet faint not, heir of sorrow, when thou art thus rebuked, rather recognize the loving hand which chastens, and say, "I will arise, and go unto my Father."

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)
