Editorial Clinton Governor, then President when abuse of power occurred
A man guilty of holding up a taco store in 1981 with a water pistol has served 40 years for the crime. He had never pointed the toy at the cashier when stealing $264 and the victim of the crime has tearfully called for the sentence to be ended. The criminal has reformed, later becoming a whistleblower saving thousands of lives over a blood handling scandal. So what are the circumstances for the abuse of power? One person connects all the dots, given the circumstances.
A decades long sentence for an equivalent hold up is too rare to be recorded. Arkansas was reputed to have abuse of power with sentences from the time of Democrat ascendancy following the Civil War. Prisoners have been used for their labour, possibly until 1994 according to regulations spoken of by Robert Barnes. After Rolf Kaestel was sentenced for his crime, he became a model prisoner, and flagged a blood transfer abuse from exploited prisoners, with tainted blood poisoning people for profit world wide. Following his whistleblowing (in 1999), Kaestal was transferred to Utah for no reason. President Clinton had been governor when the original inappropriate sentence occurred, and was President when Kaestel was transferred. GOP Arkansas governor Ava Hutchinson has commuted the sentence. Previous Dem Governor Mike Beebe had denied parole suggested by his parole board in 2015.
AGW hysteria is not a good guide for government. Victoria is currently paying a very high price for electricity, and current plans for increased renewables threaten to make it worse, more expensive and less reliable. Renewables are bad for the environment, killing wildlife and some of the poorest workers in the world. Battery back up is an expensive solution.
According to the IPA in 2019, 20 years of AGW inspired 'clean energy' policy has shown an increase of price of 220% over 20 years. Inflation Australia wide over that period was 58%. During that time, cheap coal production was replaced with expensive wind farms. Those wind farms have costs of production which exceed power supply over their lifetime, so that there never will be efficiency value until the production type changes. Further, the wind mill blades are bad for the environment, killing wildlife in numbers that would cost an oil company $billions in fines were they to do it. Brown coal is bad for the environment. So are windmills. Solar panels cost the environment too, with miners dying as a result of the methods of extraction of raw materials. Further, recycling of used solar panels and windmills is not yet feasible. With a 20 year lifespan of a windmill, Victoria's modest production rate of 25% renewable in 2020 will largely have to be replaced before more can be installed to meet more ambitious future targets. But that means further brown outs of the type experienced in South Australia in 2016.
Batteries are ineffective, and big batteries are also expensive. Elon Musk's SA battery put in place following the 2016 disaster would not prevent a similar disaster if it gets too warm, or too cold again. At an estimated cost off $50 million, the battery is more costly than diesel fuel generators used by farmers as back up. Further, batteries will only add to the cost of electricity production. The AGW hysteric promises cheap, reliable alternative energy. That does not yet exist. However, the cost of higher electricity has meant industry has had to move from Victoria to places where it can be more cheaply sourced, probably by coal powered power stations. If a child was to list these arguments in an assignment for school in Victoria, they would be marked down faster than FB fact checking an ANTIFA riot report.
Editorial Cardinal Pell abuser indicted for financial corruption
An abuse of power had resulted in an innocent man, Cardinal Pell, being jailed in Victoria. While part of the abuse of power was related to a corrupt judiciary and corrupt media, part of the process was compromised by Vatican leaks. Pell had been capably going through Vatican fiscal irregularities dating back before Pope John Paul I who had died after vowing to clear it up. Now it looks like Pell's work is bearing fruit.
Cardinal Angelo Becciu had been a senior official in Vatican fiscal administration. Along with two other senior members of the Vatican's financial intelligence unit, Becciu will go on trial on July 27th over a multi million Euro scandal involving a London building in a very expensive district. But what of the leaks which had helped jail the innocent Cardinal Pell?

Here is a video I made For The Fallen by Robert Laurence Binyon
Todays is Remembrance Day for Israel.
Old post at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3B1DVRYAwH0
Robert Laurence Binyon (10 August 1869 at Lancaster -- 10 March 1943 at Reading, Berkshire) was an English poet, dramatist, and art scholar. His most famous work, For the Fallen, is well known for being used in Remembrance Sunday services.
I was raised as an Atheist. I learned, after reading the Bible, that God loves me, and you. This is his song for you too. He loves you, and wants to be with you.
All the elements are me and mine. ARIA ISRC number AUAWN1304115
With proud thanksgiving, a mother for her children,
England mourns for her dead across the sea.
Flesh of her flesh they were, spirit of her spirit,
Fallen in the cause of the free.
England mourns for her dead across the sea.
Flesh of her flesh they were, spirit of her spirit,
Fallen in the cause of the free.
Solemn the drums thrill: Death august and royal
Sings sorrow up into immortal spheres.
There is music in the midst of desolation
And a glory that shines upon our tears.
Sings sorrow up into immortal spheres.
There is music in the midst of desolation
And a glory that shines upon our tears.
They went with songs to the battle, they were young,
Straight of limb, true of eye, steady and aglow.
They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted,
They fell with their faces to the foe.
Straight of limb, true of eye, steady and aglow.
They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted,
They fell with their faces to the foe.
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
They mingle not with their laughing comrades again;
They sit no more at familiar tables of home;
They have no lot in our labour of the day-time;
They sleep beyond England's foam.
They sit no more at familiar tables of home;
They have no lot in our labour of the day-time;
They sleep beyond England's foam.
But where our desires are and our hopes profound,
Felt as a well-spring that is hidden from sight,
To the innermost heart of their own land they are known
As the stars are known to the Night;
Felt as a well-spring that is hidden from sight,
To the innermost heart of their own land they are known
As the stars are known to the Night;
As the stars that shall be bright when we are dust,
Moving in marches upon the heavenly plain,
As the stars that are starry in the time of our darkness,
To the end, to the end, they remain.
Moving in marches upon the heavenly plain,
As the stars that are starry in the time of our darkness,
To the end, to the end, they remain.

Don't give up on hope. Four children trapped in a cave in Thailand have been saved. Monsoon season has begun, and it is a race against time to save the rest of eight boys and their teacher. Australian Government proposing a meat tax to battle AGW? NSW law to require high five consent for sex? What is the problem? My wife treats a high five and screams off "Yes, please yes!" as routine. The kids just roll their eyes now. Mum and Dad seemed surprised at first. Now we have fewer video recordings it feels more .. intimate.
A daily column on what the ALP have as a policy, supported by a local member, and how it has 'helped' the local community. I'll stop if I cannot identify a policy. Feel free to make suggestions. Contact me on FB, not twitter. I have twitter, but never look at it.
Gabrielle Williams was appointed Parliamentary Secretary for Carers and Volunteers, working with the Minister for Housing, Disability and Ageing. Housing is an issue in Dandenong, and throughout Melbourne. Melbourne is growing quickly and the ALP has no plan to deal with it. Infrastructure ALP impose, without mandate from election, does not address emerging issues. It is reminiscent of a corrupt, lazy ALP NSW government planning for Sydney 2050 without including spaces for graveyards. Council has profiteered, prior to the 2016 council election, Dandenong refused planning permission for some hundred homes proposed by developers matching zone building criteria. Councillors said at the time they had had a 'gut' feeling. After election, re elected council were able to approve plans, which would have cost developers many thousands of dollars in opportunity costs, but meant the council bottom line would look better moving forward. Papers did not mention the issue until after the press black out prior to the election, denying candidates from having a say.
Also growing with population numbers is the need for community activity. Dan Andrews government is proposing a sporting stadium for Dandenong. But, religion is being given short shrift. One growing group, evangelical Christian New Life offer a full range of service for their members, which might be around 300. They meet regularly on a Sunday in a venue they do not own and cannot control, connected with Deakin University. The venue charges reasonably, but wants the space for their own. So, where do they go? Why is there no space in Dandenong for such? They are a cultural asset. They are not a commercial venture, but they have an international footprint. What of Buddhists and Hindu and Jews? There are churches for shrinking congregation of Anglican, Uniting etc etc, but they are too small for growing community groups.
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. Further to yesterday's article on a male being marked low by a stalinist female philosophy professor at a prestigious Australian University, we have an example of writing from a site given $80k funding from Australia Council. Via John Roskam sourcing Overland "The idea that lulzy racism and transgression is either polysemic or the corollary to a new disruptive network enabled democracy owes to a cheap Deleuzianism deployed by techutopians, culture jammers and autonomist Marxists alike. The Rhizome, the Multitude, the wisdom of crowds and peer-produsage all rest on an ideal of a latent affective human connectivity, that passes between bodies in cyberspace, enabling new decentralised forms of resistance and democracy." My friend's writing was clear, composed, original, but a little bit affected.
In 1099, First Crusade: Fifteen thousand starving Christian soldiers marched in a religious procession around Jerusalem as its Muslim defenders looked on. The first crusade was beginning to falter. The crusaders were divided and weary. A priest declared he had a vision. As news came of a large army approaching would defend Jerusalem, the motivated Crusaders attacked. 1497, Vasco da Gama set sail on the first direct European voyage to India.
In 1663, Charles II of England granted John Clarke a Royal charter to Rhode Island. Rhode Island had been disliked by other colonies. Clarke, a baptist, went on mission to Massachusetts where Baptists were banned and was jailed. Rhode Island needed the charter to survive. 1853, U.S. Commodore Matthew Perry arrived in Edo bay with a treaty requesting trade. 1876, White supremacists killed five Black Republicans in Hamburg, South Carolina. Democrat paramilitary groups wanted to prevent blacks voting. They successfully ended the reconstruction. 1898, the death of crime boss Soapy Smith, killed in the Shootout on Juneau Wharf, released Skagway, Alaska from his iron grip.
1932, the Dow Jones Industrial Average reached its lowest level of the Great Depression, closing at 41.22. 1947, Reports were broadcast that a UFO crash landed in Roswell, New Mexico in what became known as the Roswell UFO incident. In 1960, Francis Gary Powers was charged with espionage resulting from his flight over the Soviet Union. 1962, Ne Win besieged and dynamited the Rangoon University Student Union building to crush the Student Movement. 1970, Richard Nixon delivered a special congressional message enunciating Native American self-determination as official US Indian policy, leading to the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act of 1975. 1982, assassination attempt against Iraqi president Saddam Hussein in Dujail. 1994, Kim Jong-il began to assume supreme leadership of North Korea upon the death of his father, Kim Il-sung. 2011, Space Shuttle Atlantis was launched in the final mission of the U.S. Space Shuttle program. 2014, Israel launched an offensive on Gaza amidst rising tensions following the killing of Israeli teenagers.

A tragedy has engulfed the United States, with an instigator being the US President. In seperate police shootings, police were labelled racist. One female preacher spoke out against racism involved with one shooting. She was rewarded with millions of views of her 11 minute spoken word poem she had not the wit to provide a transcript for. Because the words don't matter, but the emotion does? In one incident, two police hold down one victim and shoot him dead. They claimed he had been armed, and he had been. I don't know if it was a clean shooting or not, but to label it as racist is to invite what followed. In Dallas, Texas, a protest for #BlackLivesMatter was joined by snipers who targeted police. At least five police have died, ten injured. Because labels are more important than words. Because the divider in chief has decided police are racist even when using deadly force sometimes means tragic accidents. Five cops died for Obama today.
Meanwhile in Australia, a strong argument can be made for changing the leadership of both major parties post-election. ALP have gone from their worst general election result ever to their second worst. Their leader, Bill Shorten clearly lied in his election platform and should be held to account by responsible ALP party members, of which there are none. But now the conservatives have government, an argument can be made that says they can privatise Medicare, with ALP support. After all, that was what the ALP claimed was a major issue. On the other side, the Liberals also performed abysmally, saved from losing government by a few handfuls of votes. Mainly because ALP Victorian Premier Dan Andrews corruptly tried to destroy volunteer country firefighters. Turnbull has failed every single one of his performance measures. If he clings to power, he faces further humiliation. Party loyalists will toast Turnbull in the long run, with political flames.
For some, at the moment, the Sex Party has more credibility.

Shorten before royal commission faces questions early which he must answer. His defence is compelling and difficult to get past. He forgot. He forgot to inform the ALP of forty thousand dollars in donations to his election campaign eight years ago. He did declare it a few days ago. What would Barry O'Farrell do? He has a deputy campaign organiser who is female whom he refuses to name. The alternative PM doesn't want the pubic to know whom it is they have employed. Or maybe he forgot? And then he forgot members of his union which he brought on board in 1997, and which in 2010 he authorised their anonymous membership paid for by their business which traded union fees for worse conditions for members.

The terrible, murderous, exploitative people smuggling trade has many victims and few upsides. It was wrong of the ALP to promote it and remove the effective policy of Mr Howard, known as the Pacific Solution. It is to Mr Abbott's credit that the new policy has been as effective as it has. The High Court may be acting correct in law in their current action, but if it derails effective policy and promotes more death, it is damning of those who promote the lie that it is ok for people smugglers to exploit poor desperate people and drown them.
Not all of those being exploited by people smugglers are poor and desperate. Some are craven, stupid and evil too. One Iranian, who came to Australia by boat in 2010, was in his early thirties, and so desperate to migrate he destroyed his identity papers in the customary way, and stayed on a protection visa. He found a girl who dumped him for another. Yesterday, he approached the chosen guy in a mall, argued with him over a cosmetics counter in a shopping mall full during a school holiday. He had bought a machete from a local shop, and knifed the rival with it about four times in the chest, leaving the knife there as his victim died. He then lit a cigarette and waited for the police. He taunted the police as they arrested him. The penalty for murder in Iran is death. So, clearly, he must be fleeing those who want to kill him.
The thing about education and training is that there is a feeling that the wheel needs to be reinvented, instead of applied. The slightest change in curriculum results in people throwing up their hands screaming "It can't be done." But when it is done right, a new curriculum can be invigorating and inspiring. There was a need for change, and a naval officer who had fought in the war of 1812 and the Mexican American wars addressed it. Mathew Perry was a commodore in charge of many ships on this day in 1853, where in Edo Bay he signed an agreement in Japan. Perry had instituted a naval academy for the US. The partnership with Japan transformed Japan, and in fifty years, Japan would beat a Russian force in battle. And within a hundred years, Japan would threaten world domination through her naval force.
It didn't happen when Rudd was elected, although he tried. The worst day in Dow Jones average history was today in 1932, with the market indicator reaching its lowest point. The New York governor would apply his full opportunistic presence to be President less than a year later, and exploit the loss and extend the depression through poor policy. In 1933, the first Rugby test between Wallabies and Springboks occurred. In 1947, a weather balloon crashed at Roswell. A Burmese socialist leader, Ne Win, attacked Rangoon University in 1962. Today is the birthday of Zeppelin (1838), Binet (1857) and Bacon (1958).
Not all of those being exploited by people smugglers are poor and desperate. Some are craven, stupid and evil too. One Iranian, who came to Australia by boat in 2010, was in his early thirties, and so desperate to migrate he destroyed his identity papers in the customary way, and stayed on a protection visa. He found a girl who dumped him for another. Yesterday, he approached the chosen guy in a mall, argued with him over a cosmetics counter in a shopping mall full during a school holiday. He had bought a machete from a local shop, and knifed the rival with it about four times in the chest, leaving the knife there as his victim died. He then lit a cigarette and waited for the police. He taunted the police as they arrested him. The penalty for murder in Iran is death. So, clearly, he must be fleeing those who want to kill him.
The thing about education and training is that there is a feeling that the wheel needs to be reinvented, instead of applied. The slightest change in curriculum results in people throwing up their hands screaming "It can't be done." But when it is done right, a new curriculum can be invigorating and inspiring. There was a need for change, and a naval officer who had fought in the war of 1812 and the Mexican American wars addressed it. Mathew Perry was a commodore in charge of many ships on this day in 1853, where in Edo Bay he signed an agreement in Japan. Perry had instituted a naval academy for the US. The partnership with Japan transformed Japan, and in fifty years, Japan would beat a Russian force in battle. And within a hundred years, Japan would threaten world domination through her naval force.
It didn't happen when Rudd was elected, although he tried. The worst day in Dow Jones average history was today in 1932, with the market indicator reaching its lowest point. The New York governor would apply his full opportunistic presence to be President less than a year later, and exploit the loss and extend the depression through poor policy. In 1933, the first Rugby test between Wallabies and Springboks occurred. In 1947, a weather balloon crashed at Roswell. A Burmese socialist leader, Ne Win, attacked Rangoon University in 1962. Today is the birthday of Zeppelin (1838), Binet (1857) and Bacon (1958).

Today's Old Testament reading: Job 34-35
1 Then Elihu said:
2 "Hear my words, you wise men;
listen to me, you men of learning.
3 For the ear tests words
as the tongue tastes food.
4 Let us discern for ourselves what is right;
let us learn together what is good.
listen to me, you men of learning.
3 For the ear tests words
as the tongue tastes food.
4 Let us discern for ourselves what is right;
let us learn together what is good.
5 "Job says, 'I am innocent,
but God denies me justice.
6 Although I am right,
I am considered a liar;
although I am guiltless,
his arrow inflicts an incurable wound.'
7 Is there anyone like Job,
who drinks scorn like water?
8 He keeps company with evildoers;
he associates with the wicked.
9 For he says, 'There is no profit
in trying to please God.'
but God denies me justice.
6 Although I am right,
I am considered a liar;
although I am guiltless,
his arrow inflicts an incurable wound.'
7 Is there anyone like Job,

Today's New Testament reading: Acts 15:1-21
The Council at Jerusalem
1 Certain people came down from Judea to Antioch and were teaching the believers: "Unless you are circumcised, according to the custom taught by Moses, you cannot be saved." 2 This brought Paul and Barnabas into sharp dispute and debate with them. So Paul and Barnabas were appointed, along with some other believers, to go up to Jerusalem to see the apostles and elders about this question. 3 The church sent them on their way, and as they traveled through Phoenicia and Samaria, they told how the Gentiles had been converted. This news made all the believers very glad. 4 When they came to Jerusalem, they were welcomed by the church and the apostles and elders, to whom they reported everything God had done through them....

Morning
This one morning in the year we reserved to refresh the reader's memory upon the subject of prayer for ministers, and we do most earnestly implore every Christian household to grant the fervent request of the text first uttered by an apostle and now repeated by us. Brethren, our work is solemnly momentous, involving weal or woe to thousands; we treat with souls for God on eternal business, and our word is either a savour of life unto life, or of death unto death. A very heavy responsibility rests upon us, and it will be no small mercy if at the last we be found clear of the blood of all men. As officers in Christ's army, we are the especial mark of the enmity of men and devils; they watch for our halting, and labour to take us by the heels. Our sacred calling involves us in temptations from which you are exempt, above all it too often draws us away from our personal enjoyment of truth into a ministerial and official consideration of it. We meet with many knotty cases, and our wits are at a non plus; we observe very sad backslidings, and our hearts are wounded; we see millions perishing, and our spirits sink. We wish to profit you by our preaching; we desire to be blest to your children; we long to be useful both to saints and sinners; therefore, dear friends, intercede for us with our God. Miserable men are we if we miss the aid of your prayers, but happy are we if we live in your supplications. You do not look to us but to our Master for spiritual blessings, and yet how many times has He given those blessings through His ministers; ask then, again and again, that we may be the earthen vessels into which the Lord may put the treasure of the gospel. We, the whole company of missionaries, ministers, city missionaries, and students, do in the name of Jesus beseech you
"Brethren, pray for us."
Evening
Saved one, consider gratefully this mandate of mercy. Note that this fiat of God is majestic. In our text, we perceive a sinner with nothing in him but sin, expecting nothing but wrath; but the eternal Lord passes by in his glory; he looks, he pauses, and he pronounces the solitary but royal word, "Live." There speaks a God. Who but he could venture thus to deal with life and dispense it with a single syllable? Again, this fiat is manifold. When he saith "Live," it includes many things. Here is judicial life. The sinner is ready to be condemned, but the mighty One saith, "Live," and he rises pardoned and absolved. It is spiritual life. We knew not Jesus--our eyes could not see Christ, our ears could not hear his voice--Jehovah said "Live," and we were quickened who were dead in trespasses and sins. Moreover, it includes glory-life, which is the perfection of spiritual life. "I said unto thee, Live:" and that word rolls on through all the years of time till death comes, and in the midst of the shadows of death, the Lord's voice is still heard, "Live!" In the morning of the resurrection it is that self-same voice which is echoed by the arch-angel, "Live," and as holy spirits rise to heaven to be blest forever in the glory of their God, it is in the power of this same word, "Live." Note again, that it is an irresistible mandate. Saul of Tarsus is on the road to Damascus to arrest the saints of the living God. A voice is heard from heaven and a light is seen above the brightness of the sun, and Saul is crying out, "Lord, what wilt thou have me to do?" This mandate is a mandate of free grace. When sinners are saved, it is only and solely because God will do it to magnify his free, unpurchased, unsought grace. Christians, see your position, debtors to grace; show your gratitude by earnest, Christlike lives, and as God has bidden you live, see to it that you live in earnest.

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)
