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 If I Could Talk To The Dinosaurs
Grateful Thanks to Bobby Darin and Wikipedia's dinosaur listing
The amazing Vaporman tells me
"I think the song was actually written by Leslie Bricusse for the Musical Film "Dr. Doolittle" (1967). Bobby Darin recorded it later that year for his album "The Music of Dr. Doolittle". Just a few years back (1998?), Bricusse tried a Broadway version of the film, but I don't think it went over very well."
audio was posted at http://www.icompositions.com/music/song.php?sid=52256
If I could talk to the dinosaurs, just imagine it,
Chattin' with a therapod with ease,
Imagine talking to a t-rex, chatting with Archaeopteryx,
What a neat achievement it would be!
If we could talk to the dinosaurs, learn all their languages,
I could take the dinosaur degree,
I'd study jurassic and triassic, gastroliths and feathers,
Archosaur, feces, and flea!
I would converse in Protoceratopsidae,
And I would curse in fluent Tetanurae,
If people ask me "can you speak Thecodontosaurus?"
I'd say "of courserous! Can't you?"
If I conferred with our feathered friends, man to dinosaur,
Think of the amazing repartee
If I could walk with the dinosaurs, talk with the dinosaurs,
Grunt and squeak and squawk with the dinosaurs,
And they could talk to me!
If I consulted with quadrupeds
Think what fun we'd have asking over crocodiles for tea!
Or maybe lunch with two or three Brachiosauridae
What a lovely place the world would be!
If I spoke slang to Tetanurae
The advantages why any fool on earth could plainly see!
Discussing Eastern art and dramas
With intellectual Stegosauria
That's a big step forward you'll agree!
I'd learn to speak in Ceratopsia
And my Iguanodontia would be extremely good
If I were asked to sing in coelurosaur
I'd say "whynotasaur?" and I would!
If I could parlay with Deinonychosauria
It's a fairy tale worthy of Hans Anderson and Grimm
A man who walks with the dinosaurs and talks with the dinosaurs
Grunts and squeaks and squawks with the dinosaurs and they could talk to him!
Let me hear 'em talk
I'd study every creature's language
So I could speak to all of them on site
If friends said "can he talk in crab or maybe Ankylosauria?"
You'd say "I canny can" and you'd be right!
And if you just stop and think of it
Ain't no doubt of it
I'm gonna win a place in history
If I could walk with the dinosaurs
Talk with the dinosaurs
Grunt, squeak, squawk with the dinosaurs
And they could squeak and squawk and speak and talk to me!
Roar! T Rex! You slay me!
Have some heart. No! Not my heart! Et Tu Raptor?

Don't give up on hope. Make Australia drought resistant. The hundred dams project is being blocked by ALP governments in Queensland and Northern Territory. With the dams complete, Australia's high temperatures nose dive, cooling the world more effectively than a hundred thousand bird killing windmills. But also, it opens up inland Australia for development and takes pressure off the packed east coast. Green tape and red tape is restricting the development. Otherwise healthy animals die as a result of ALP negligence.
Trump talked to Russians, but did not give them 20% of US uranium. Press are furious and releasing stories like "The Queen secretly Trolled Trump" by wearing cheap jewellery given her by Obama. "Trump apologised strangely for miss speaking" when he corrected one comment, saying Russia could have influenced the 2016 election. But, Trump has not admitted colluding with Russia. Not like Ted Kennedy asking Andropov to help Democrats in 1984 against Reagan. Mueller would not be interested in such collusion as Democrats did.
Trump has been denounced for not being more forceful over Russia shooting down MH17. Except Russia did not shoot down the plane, Russian separatists did after Ukraine committed a number of war crimes, and facilitated by Obama, stung the Russians for the deaths of civilians. A new up and coming Democrat is asked about Palestine in interview. They are outspoken over the issues without understanding them. JFK theory still not disproven regarding the kill shot possibly coming from a secret service weapon, and the brain being stolen, and witnesses killed.
Matthew Guy promises more rail service in Victoria. Turnbull praises Trump with damns, claiming Trump is acting to the best of his ability. Turnbull has to say that because Turnbull has opposed Trump on a number of issues, from migration through to energy policy. A Chinese girl comes out to parents. No evidence they rejected her. But the occasion is broadcast by NYT. Banking in 'Racist history' impugned. Banking has helped lift billions out of poverty and is improving the lives of everyone. But the meme declares banks are at fault for taking money from slaves. The poorest people have no banks. Get Up backs Neo Nazis in Longman by election. They always said that there were fascists everywhere, so their mistake seems understandable without being acceptable.
Via GF Legally and constitutionally, the person of the monarch is totally irrelevant to Australia. But politically, certain people hope use any means possible to change the way the Australian Constitution and our legal system operates, in order to obtain powers which are currently denied them. Our Con was constructed by capable people who had studied the new constitutions of the USA and France, as well as of Britain and others, and had studied what was included and excluded. and why. Today's "experts" - including that incompetent fool of an A-G, Brandis, and his best lawyers - persistently expose themselves to ridicule by their pathetically wrong constitutional opinions on such mundane issues as Section 44, and eligibility to be an MP. [Thank God for the quality of our HCA!] While our legal elites' understanding of constitutional law remains at its current abysmal level of ignorance, any interfering with the fundamentals of our legal and federal systems of governance is very imprudent.
me: You feel it is good people born in Australia are encumbered by foreign nations?
ND: that's not the case.
GF I fear the opposite : Australia has much to fear from today's creeping subjugation to foreign control, either by economic or military hegemony, or by an Executive Government highly cynical invoking of the Constitution's "external affairs power" - to achieve an anti-democratic end which would otherwise be politically impossible. Or by our Courts - one day - discovering in international instruments a convenient rationale for politically partisan decisions. Cheers.

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. Businesses are happy with trade hours in the mall. That is to be expected, as they pay high rent, but with limited staff and known hours, they can plan their business. Family businesses that run outside the mall and supply niche services are different. They are restricted from trade and expanding. Red tape is hurting Dandenong. Matthew Guy has suggested meetings need to take place between Principals, bullies and the parents of bullies. Guy has been criticised as being naive and the move is declared unworkable. Allegedly, there is so much bullying in Victorian Schools that Principals could not possibly do their jobs if they had to devote time to such interviews. It is outrageous if such interviews are not already the case. It is outrageous if child bullies are stopping whole schools from working efficiently. What on earth is the curriculum if it is sidelined so easily by so many bullies? Why would Williams approve of such dysfunctional schools preventing her constituents from achieving their best? Guy has plans that will allow Victoria to prosper.
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.

=== from 2017 ===
Some things should not happen, but they do. Here I thread the needle of how Malcolm Turnbull backstabbed Tony Abbott for the PM's position. It is illustrated on the day of Abbott's tremendous achievement of removing the carbon tax July 17th 2014. Niki Savva, partisan journalist, wrote a bizarre article, directing Shorten and Abbott to steer clear from PUP founder Clive Palmer. Neither Shorten nor Abbott would ever pay much attention to Savva, so her direction to them was not the point of the article. It is now clear she was gloating over the plans of taking out Abbott in favour of Turnbull. "If the past few years have taught us anything, it is that once trashed, reputations are almost impossible to rebuild. An exceptional practitioner of the art could manage it". The reason for giving space to Palmer was so Turnbull could play the role of mediator with the senate.
It was Turnbull's job to promise the senate that he could deal with them better, and would be better if he was PM. It is like that joke meme of a dad making his son President of the World bank by marrying him to Bill Gate's hypothetical daughter. The result being that a boy with nothing but good looks could rule through influence peddling. However, Turnbull promising things to senators was not the sole part of the campaign. Turnbull needed a credible policy platform with widespread support before he could credibly promise anything. He had attempted coopting that with AGW hysteria in '09. This time, Julie Bishop was able to funnel foreign aid money to the Clinton Foundation and this gave Turnbull a suite of policies he could draw on to please everyone who hated Tony Abbott.
People may be wondering why Turnbull negotiated a people swap deal with Obama after Trump was elected. But that is part payment of the Clinton Foundation. However, to attract Clive Palmer, Turnbull needed to help him obtain some life goals. One was ending the Campbell Newman QLD Government. To achieve that end, Turnbull needed to bring in expensive support against fracking from Alan Jones, NSW radio broadcaster. The campaign was successful and damaging and has effectively ended safe and responsible gas extraction along the southern and eastern coastlines of Australia. Victoria has even banned conventional extraction.
Merely promising things to senators was not the entire campaign. Influence groups like the IPA were promised free speech as Turnbull used his cabinet presence to reject the Abbott government position of pursuing it against senate opposition. Bronwyn Bishop's helicopter ride became a point which Turnbull could promise petty revenge. The bizarre campaign of women hating Tony Abbott was used too. Today, Turnbull claims rolling Abbott was a mistake, and so it would be a mistake to roll Turnbull too. But back then, the faux women hate Abbott campaign was fed into a number of polls designed to get party pollsters to campaign for Turnbull against a 'terminal' Abbott who could never win without female support. The polls were legitimate and the campaign real. That is what millions of dollars to the Clinton Foundation will get you. And that is why actual conservatives are rejecting Malcolm Turnbull's Liberal Party. And that is why the only sensible course of action the party can take to have a chance at the next federal election is to roll Turnbull and restore Tony Abbott.

In 180, Twelve inhabitants of Scillium in North Africa were executed for being Christians. This is the earliest record of Christianity in that part of the world. 1203, the Fourth Crusade captured Constantinople by assault. The Byzantine emperor Alexios III Angelos fled from his capital into exile. The Byzantine Empire was crumbling as siblings quarrelled over the throne. One enlisted the aid of the crusaders to overthrow another. They were kind of successful against their Christian brothers when they would fail against Islam. One thing worth noting was that in deposing one emperor, the previous wasn't killed, but blinded. Considered a penalty that was more merciful than killing. 1402, Zhu Di, better known by his era name as the Yongle Emperor, assumed the throne over the Ming dynasty of China. 1429, Hundred Years' War: Charles VII of France was crowned the King of France in the Reims Cathedral after a successful campaign by Joan of Arc 1453, Battle of Castillon: The last battle of Hundred Years' War, the French under Jean Bureau defeated the English under the Earl of Shrewsbury, who was killed in the battle in Gascony.
In 1717, King George I of Great Britain sailed down the River Thames with a barge of 50 musicians, where George Frideric Handel's Water Music was premiered. 1762, Catherine II became tsar of Russia upon the murder of Peter III of Russia. 1771, Bloody Falls massacre: Chipewyan chief Matonabbee, traveling as the guide to Samuel Hearne on his Arctic overland journey, massacred a group of unsuspecting Inuit. 1791, members of the French National Guard under the command of General Lafayette opened fire on a crowd of radical Jacobins at the Champ de Mars, Paris, during the French Revolution, killing as many as 50 people. 1794, the 16 Carmelite Martyrs of Compiègne were executed ten days prior to the end of the French Revolution's Reign of Terror. 1856, the Great Train Wreck of 1856 in Fort Washington, Pennsylvania, killed over 60 people. 1867, Harvard School of Dental Medicine was established in Boston, Massachusetts. It was the first dental school in the U.S. to be affiliated with a university. 1896, Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi, the Indian sage, at age 16, spontaneously initiated a process of self-enquiry that culminated within a few minutes in his own permanent awakening. 1899, NEC Corporation was organised as the first Japanese joint venture with foreign capital.
In 1917, King George V issued a Proclamation stating that the male line descendants of the British Royal Family would bear the surname Windsor. 1918, Tsar Nicholas II of Russia and his immediate family and retainers were murdered by Bolshevik Chekists at the Ipatiev House in Yekaterinburg, Russia.

With the tragedy in Nice and the failed coup in Turkey, ABC listeners could be forgiven for wondering what was it Eddie McGuire said. Or possibly Steve Price. One is a successful businessman and presenter, the other is a radio presenter. Neither have done anything deserving of the criticism they have attracted. But looking at the situation in Nice, and it has become apparent the terrorist who idolised ISIL in his final acts was inspired by western hate media, and not ISIL, to commit the atrocity. ISIL did not order him to do it. Western media suggested it as a solution to his failures as a human being. The media may hide it with words, but there is no reason for terrorism. Although, there are always excuses. In Turkey, it looks like Erdogan has staged a coup so as to persecute people he doesn't like. There are few other explanations for the speed of the decapitation of the coup leadership.
Meanwhile in Sydney, Miranda Devine is committed to attacking conservatives. She objects to Baird's decision to close greyhound racing. Others are also talking about his narrowing of drinking hours in Kings Cross. Both decisions were necessary, and of the type ALP could never make, although they are in the public interest. The greyhound industry was corrupt and unmanageable. Devine claims Baird does not really care for dog welfare. That might be true, but because the industry was corrupt and unmanageable it had to close. It is like closing UK's coal industry after it became more expensive to mine than it returned in revenue. Margaret Thatcher is still criticised for that good decision. People are apparently being inconvenienced that people are not dying and gumming up emergency wards in Sydney by the drinking regulations. But they should know that #AllLivesMatter
For some, at the moment, the Sex Party has more credibility.

It is now confirmed that Ukraine was complicit with downing of MH17. What is not known is Washington's contribution to the tragedy. It looks like a black ops sting gone bad, a cynical sacrifice of civilian life to make a political point. It was known that rebels fired the missile, but what is not known, or even asked, is what the rebels thought they were doing. Clearly they were being monitored by Ukraine, who provided circumstantial evidence regarding Russian telecommunications immediately. But the plane was targeted after two other military planes had been downed the previous two days. Ukraine was at war in the air and instead of giving a warning to domestic carriers she chose to sacrifice a civilian carrier for personal gain. Ukraine's government was illegitimate, put in with smoke and mirrors against popular will which favoured Russia. The result was the loss of dockyards and then civil war. And Washington are part of the mix. It is hard to believe that Ukraine conceived this disaster on their own. We now know from the footage that Ukraine separatists expected to find a Ukraine military craft when they found the passenger transport. Clearly it was a black ops sting. And Ukraine should not profit from it. Neither should Washington. It is part and parcel with Obama's regional foreign policy. A new cold war started by Obama. Which will allow regional bullies like China and Russia to slap down smaller sovereign nations used as pawns in a Great Game.
Identity politics, where race, religion and gender are chosen. If one focuses on what is meant by that thought bubble, one should be enraged. There is racial diversity, that does not mean race is a choice. Race should never be a state consideration. Race need not be defined. Those insisting on it are apartheid supporters. Remember when the left opposed apartheid? As for gender being chosen, that is best left to the idle rich.
Planned Parenting exploits dead foetus'. Selling parts for profit. Suggesting late term abortions so that parts are developed for sale? Have ethicists been so divorced from morals?
Q and A hide behind a child they exploited. A ten year old coached by parents with ABC encouragement to ask a highly politicised question on national tv. How will they explain it to their friends? Sadly, their teachers may applaud it. But, it is unprofessional, damaging and detrimental to wider society that it happened. What about a child holding a severed head?
ALP face allegations regarding expenses. Senator Polley from Tasmania has apparently taken luxury rides worth over $20k. Will the ALP pay back those legitimate expenses too?
Right wing extremists said to be as deadly as jihadis. However, not by objective measures. Right wingers have been responsible for arguing and race baiting. They have not been party to rape, murder, torture, beheading and terrorism. Or stoning, dismemberment, female genital mutilation or pedophilia. The garden variety right winger might use the same words as neo Nazis and have no understanding of history or culture or basic reasoning, and they probably like to drink too much and think very little, but really, they are disgusting, but not like jihadis. Consider reports from Chattanooga where an apparent jihadist assaulted two defence bases before being killed by police.
ALP being led by Plibersek to the left. ALP foreign policy waters down the Australian US alliance in favour of China. It kind of fits with Obama's cold war regional policy vision, but is in fact a bad move for the entire region. Next week ALP heavyweights are going to shift policy to legitimise a terrorist state for Palestine.

From 2014
With the world first repeal of ridiculously bad Carbon Dioxide tax legislation, Australia can breathe freely. The tax had been implemented despite no government running on a platform to install it. Now that it is repealed, opposition leader Bill Shorten is promising to campaign for one next election. Some say we have lost the chance to lower world temperatures by an estimates 0.0038 degrees celcius over the next hundred years, and so we are all going to die. Others say it was a wasteful redistribution of money which penalised industry unfairly.
Anti semitic bigots are saying Israel is not allowed to defend herself. They are wrong. Israel is entitled to protect her people from killers, or stone throwers, or vandals and thieves. However, the bigots need to be confronted, to justify why they have used a position of authority to harm civilians. What has happened is a war crime and is something that significant figures in the UN, European parliament and US Government have condoned, along with significant international media. It is unbelievable that such an inquiry into those figures will occur any time soon. But until it happens, the significant governments of the world have unclean hands. Significant points that many do not know are

Significant points that many do not know are
- There is no Palestine. Palestine is a Roman word to describe a secular administration of Jewish peoples in the Middle East, which is what Israel is now.
- So called Palestinians are ethnically Jordanian. They lost a civil war in 1967 and called themselves Palestinian with the encouragement of arab governments keen to not have to host refugee civil warriors.
- The land that Palestinians inhabit was designated as Israeli but was seized by Jordan before it was handed over in 1948.
- Israel has been over cautious in her dealings with terrorists. She doesn't kill them, but imprisons them. And often has been made to free them for peace.
- Terrorist activity against Israel is disproportionate. Killing people indiscriminately is not justified.
- The largest killer of Islamic peoples in the Middle East is Islamic peoples.
- Israel pays for aid to Palestine, and generously runs and funds hospitals and provides energy, business and supplies.
- Palestinian authorities syphon aid dollars and buys weapons for terrorists.
- Palestinian leaders have become rich as their peoples crumble in the indignity of poverty.
- Palestinian authorities allow the lynching of their peoples on any pretext, often on untested assertions of spying. Further, they have kidnapped and killed Israelis.
- Israel, as a secular administration, meets all the requirements of the Balfour Proclamation and so there is no need for a second state.

A miktam of David.
1 Keep me safe, my God,
for in you I take refuge.
for in you I take refuge.
2 I say to the LORD, "You are my Lord;
apart from you I have no good thing."
3 I say of the holy people who are in the land,
"They are the noble ones in whom is all my delight."
4 Those who run after other gods will suffer more and more.
I will not pour out libations of blood to such gods
or take up their names on my lips.
apart from you I have no good thing."
3 I say of the holy people who are in the land,
"They are the noble ones in whom is all my delight."
4 Those who run after other gods will suffer more and more.
I will not pour out libations of blood to such gods
or take up their names on my lips.
5 LORD, you alone are my portion and my cup;
you make my lot secure.
6 The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places;
surely I have a delightful inheritance.
7 I will praise the LORD, who counsels me;
even at night my heart instructs me.
8 I keep my eyes always on the LORD.
With him at my right hand, I will not be shaken.
you make my lot secure.
6 The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places;
surely I have a delightful inheritance.

Through Macedonia and Greece
1 When the uproar had ended, Paul sent for the disciples and, after encouraging them, said goodbye and set out for Macedonia. 2 He traveled through that area, speaking many words of encouragement to the people, and finally arrived in Greece, 3 where he stayed three months. Because some Jews had plotted against him just as he was about to sail for Syria, he decided to go back through Macedonia. 4He was accompanied by Sopater son of Pyrrhus from Berea, Aristarchus and Secundus from Thessalonica, Gaius from Derbe, Timothy also, and Tychicus and Trophimus from the province of Asia. 5 These men went on ahead and waited for us at Troas. 6 But we sailed from Philippi after the Festival of Unleavened Bread, and five days later joined the others at Troas, where we stayed seven days....

Morning
Labour to maintain a sense of thine entire dependence upon the Lord's good will and pleasure for the continuance of thy richest enjoyments. Never try to live on the old manna, nor seek to find help in Egypt. All must come from Jesus, or thou art undone forever. Old anointings will not suffice to impart unction to thy spirit; thine head must have fresh oil poured upon it from the golden horn of the sanctuary, or it will cease from its glory. To-day thou mayest be upon the summit of the mount of God, but he who has put thee there must keep thee there, or thou wilt sink far more speedily than thou dreamest. Thy mountain only stands firm when he settles it in its place; if he hide his face, thou wilt soon be troubled. If the Saviour should see fit, there is not a window through which thou seest the light of heaven which he could not darken in an instant. Joshua bade the sun stand still, but Jesus can shroud it in total darkness. He can withdraw the joy of thine heart, the light of thine eyes, and the strength of thy life; in his hand thy comforts lie, and at his will they can depart from thee. This hourly dependence our Lord is determined that we shall feel and recognize, for he only permits us to pray for "daily bread," and only promises that "as our days our strength shall be." Is it not best for us that it should be so, that we may often repair to his throne, and constantly be reminded of his love? Oh! how rich the grace which supplies us so continually, and doth not refrain itself because of our ingratitude! The golden shower never ceases, the cloud of blessing tarries evermore above our habitation. O Lord Jesus, we would bow at thy feet, conscious of our utter inability to do anything without thee, and in every favour which we are privileged to receive, we would adore thy blessed name and acknowledge thine unexhausted love.
Evening
"Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favour her, yea, the set time is come. For thy servants take pleasure in her stones, and favour the dust thereof."
Psalm 102:13-14
Psalm 102:13-14
A selfish man in trouble is exceedingly hard to comfort, because the springs of his comfort lie entirely within himself, and when he is sad all his springs are dry. But a large-hearted man full of Christian philanthropy, has other springs from which to supply himself with comfort beside those which lie within. He can go to his God first of all, and there find abundant help; and he can discover arguments for consolation in things relating to the world at large, to his country, and, above all, to the church. David in this Psalm was exceedingly sorrowful; he wrote, "I am like an owl of the desert. I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the house top." The only way in which he could comfort himself, was in the reflection that God would arise, and have mercy upon Zion: though he was sad, yet Zion should prosper; however low his own estate, yet Zion should arise. Christian man! learn to comfort thyself in God's gracious dealing towards the church. That which is so dear to thy Master, should it not be dear above all else to thee? What though thy way be dark, canst thou not gladden thine heart with the triumphs of his cross and the spread of his truth? Our own personal troubles are forgotten while we look, not only upon what God has done, and is doing for Zion, but on the glorious things he will yet do for his church. Try this receipt, O believer, whenever thou art sad of heart and in heaviness of spirit: forget thyself and thy little concerns, and seek the welfare and prosperity of Zion. When thou bendest thy knee in prayer to God, limit not thy petition to the narrow circle of thine own life, tried though it be, but send out thy longing prayers for the church's prosperity, "Pray for the peace of Jerusalem," and thine own soul shall be refreshed.

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)
