Editorial on Biden's stunning 'success' in Afghanistan
Afghanistan under the thumb of the Taliban. Street lynching, political murder and freedoms quashed. That is Afghanistan as those who voted for Biden as President have achieved. A tarred man is lead with a noose down a street for a walk of shame. What was his crime? Or does it not matter if there was a crime, only that the terrorists can show their ability to assert their authority. Just like Biden locking up people who peacefully demonstrated on January 6th. How long will those peaceful demonstrators be detained? Eight months without a trial? They say justice delayed is justice denied. How long will Biden delay justice in Afghanistan?
I asked a colleague who liked Biden, what they thought God thought about Afghanistan. My friend said "God should never have been there"
Editorial on reimposition of Andrews Curfew
Australian news propaganda has Vic extension of lockdown as being necessary. And imposition of curfew, again, which failed last time. Why do left wing governments have to copy NAZI ideas on social organisation? From eugenics, family planning, public shaming, social isolation, removal of freedoms and environmentalism, it is almost as if some ageing NAZI is still funding their ideals world wide. Curfew and lockdown failed last time in Victoria, with over a hundred dying after being denied effective medication while crime tape was placed children's swings and roundabouts. The deaths were a direct result of Premier Andrews placing a bungling private security company over quarantine, a company closely connected with ALP and not subject to competitive bidding for the job. When asked about his decision, the Premier delayed answering for months, and then said he forgot.
Delta variant Covid is more transmissible than COVID 19, and less deadly, Less deadly than the common cold. And what is wrong with treating it with appropriate medication?
Editorial on Pell case and Deep state
Cardinal Pell had created the Melbourne Response into institutionalised pedophilia in the '90s in Australia. It was a world first, but hamstrung by laws of the day, giving victims compensation without forcing them to trial. There was a backlash and a party which had included many who were known pedophiles and had deep bureaucratic connections had had Pell face decades of litigation which over time crept to accuse Pell of being a pedophile, and had him jailed on a false pretext for over a year. He had been convicted by the Victorian high court after the chief justice took the case saying they would be impartial, but they weren't. In the mean time, Pell had been 3rd in power within the Catholic church and had restructured church finances world wide to root out corruption. Recently, senior church members who allegedly leaked against Pell are facing charges of embezzlement. I see no evidence Catholicism is more prone to pedophilia than elsewhere, and I know there are tragic examples. But a deep state issue within Catholicism has seemed to be in the mix and on both sides, Catholics are standing up. Tony Abbott was the first conservative Catholic in Australia (It could be argued Joseph Lyons was Catholic too, but the UAP founder had been ALP first). Malcolm Turnbull is catholic too. Deep state division within Catholicism dates over a thousand years. It is not solely responsible for US deep state issues, but it does seem a contributor.

Editorial on Friday 13th
There used to be a 13th month. It spawned the idea of a blue moon which happens once a year. Robert Graves interpreted artwork from pre literacy Greece found that woman were the initial leaders of the Greeks, and they had three powerful gods, Hera, Aphrodite and Athena. They were a kind of trinity, where Hera, cow eyed, was the older who saw wrongs when others didn't realise she was watching. Aphrodite was a mature, desirable woman. Pallas Athene was the child goddess, whose wisdom was like a sharp pre teen girl. Over time, Queens would adopt a king for a year. At the end of the year, the blue moon, the king would be sacrificed and his blood and bones would be fertiliser. Later still, prisoners might be sacrificed for the king.
The thirteenth month has disappeared from our calendar but still exists as a blue moon, sometimes defined as the month of the year with two moons.
The Code of Hammurabi left off the number 13 for reasons now unknown.
Apollo 13 came too late to be foundational, but my, it was inspiring.
The knights Templar were screwed before French King Philip stole their assets by accusing them of heresies and then torturing them to confess, beginning Friday 13th. They had lost everything when Jerusalem fell after 150 years when the language spoken there had been French. Jerusalem fell after Jerusalem's king's daughter was kidnapped, and so the king the left the safety of a fortress and was slaughtered in battle. The Knights Templar had the timeless duty of guarding Jerusalem and her antiquities. The Holy Grail legend may have been resurrected to impugn the Knights? I feel the knights were victims of a deep state within Christianity. Part of the chaff masquerading as wheat.

From the Bible, 1 Corinthians 4
The Nature of True Apostleship
This, then, is how you ought to regard us: as servants of Christ and as those entrusted with the mysteries God has revealed. Now it is required that those who have been given a trust must prove faithful. I care very little if I am judged by you or by any human court; indeed, I do not even judge myself. My conscience is clear, but that does not make me innocent. It is the Lord who judges me. Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait until the Lord comes. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of the heart. At that time each will receive their praise from God.
Now, brothers and sisters, I have applied these things to myself and Apollos for your benefit, so that you may learn from us the meaning of the saying, “Do not go beyond what is written.” Then you will not be puffed up in being a follower of one of us over against the other. For who makes you different from anyone else? What do you have that you did not receive? And if you did receive it, why do you boast as though you did not?
Already you have all you want! Already you have become rich! You have begun to reign—and that without us! How I wish that you really had begun to reign so that we also might reign with you! For it seems to me that God has put us apostles on display at the end of the procession, like those condemned to die in the arena. We have been made a spectacle to the whole universe, to angels as well as to human beings. We are fools for Christ, but you are so wise in Christ! We are weak, but you are strong! You are honored, we are dishonored! To this very hour we go hungry and thirsty, we are in rags, we are brutally treated, we are homeless. We work hard with our own hands. When we are cursed, we bless; when we are persecuted, we endure it; when we are slandered, we answer kindly. We have become the scum of the earth, the garbage of the world—right up to this moment.
Paul’s Appeal and Warning
I am writing this not to shame you but to warn you as my dear children. Even if you had ten thousand guardians in Christ, you do not have many fathers, for in Christ Jesus I became your father through the gospel. Therefore I urge you to imitate me. For this reason I have sent to you Timothy, my son whom I love, who is faithful in the Lord. He will remind you of my way of life in Christ Jesus, which agrees with what I teach everywhere in every church.
Some of you have become arrogant, as if I were not coming to you. But I will come to you very soon, if the Lord is willing, and then I will find out not only how these arrogant people are talking, but what power they have. For the kingdom of God is not a matter of talk but of power. What do you prefer? Shall I come to you with a rod of discipline, or shall I come in love and with a gentle spirit?

Here is a video I made Bright Eyes 4 PFB
Pamela Frances Ball died on 14th Feb, 1978. She was 13 years old. Valentines Day. I love her, and miss her. I promised TMN that my memory of her would be shared in the knowledge God loves. Pam was born crippled from a faulty kidney and died from renal failure after rejecting a transplant. I only recently got these pictures to share of her. Mainly from a Sydney visit circa 1975. Many thanks to family friend Raymond Debus for the treasure.
The song Bright Eyes was released soon after.
http://conservativeweasel.blogspot.com.au/2013/02/bright-eyes-4-pfb.html
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 AUAWN1302114

Don't give up on hope. Turnbull's Prime Ministerial position is untenable. In all likelihood, he will step down and resign in favour of Scott Morrison as per an agreement with Costello. But, Turnbull will use his super power of dithering to delay it. ALP are releasing material to damage Dutton's public appearance (is Pyne behind this as he was behind Get Up's assault on Abbott?). They are claiming Dutton fell foul of a public regulation over a business he ran until 2010. The relevant law only came into being in 2018. It involves a child care business. Over a similar period, Thérèse Rudd's business was no problem for ALP. Unlike Rudd, Dutton did not profit from public funds, but the proceeds from government went to parents.
Trump's former personal lawyer had admitted to things which don't suggest Trump is corrupt. But Democrat's are getting hysterical as the mid term elections near.
I'm contributing to QUORA, a question and answer site that can be a bit addictive.
What are the best practices for promoting high quality mathematics and science education at the school level?
Elite students at elite schools have access to resources and support through brains trusts and extended family. They are probably related to high level public servants, high achieving professionals or academics. Sometimes they are tutored, but sometimes they are self taught. A good lesson for such students is a good lesson for any student. Some drill is essential, but not an enervating amount. Teachers need fall back activities. Parents might feel they are smarter and better than the teacher and will be extremely opinionated, sometimes un-constructively. I find a wider awareness of things is helpful with enthusing students. It is ok to discuss the Fibonacci geometric fallacy if talking about number sequences with such students. Or noting who Pythagoras was, and how he died.
Don’t try to cut student access to their brains trust at home.
But, note well, elite students do not benefit from things teacher unions desire. Small classes, lack of competition and no recognition for achievement makes class time enervating. Possibly, we could illustrate this with a mind map, and swap directions so up is down.

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 and the Minister for Families and Children. Williams was given those titles when elected in 2014. It is difficult to find what value she has been to Dandenong, but clearly the ALP see her as the future. On her ALP news feed, Williams has announced the ALP are paying $38k to a primary school in Dandenong for maintenance. They are so proud of this, they are announcing it. Under what circumstances would the government not pay the maintenance of a public primary school? Should the public expect that Dan Andrews would not pay to remove asbestos? Replace lights? Remove rubbish? Clean windows? Vacuum carpets? Cut grass? Or is it that the November date for Victoria's election is so close that the ALP will announce anything so as to get applause?
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.

But, note well, elite students do not benefit from things teacher unions desire. Small classes, lack of competition and no recognition for achievement makes class time enervating. Possibly, we could illustrate this with a mind map, and swap directions so up is down.

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 and the Minister for Families and Children. Williams was given those titles when elected in 2014. It is difficult to find what value she has been to Dandenong, but clearly the ALP see her as the future. On her ALP news feed, Williams has announced the ALP are paying $38k to a primary school in Dandenong for maintenance. They are so proud of this, they are announcing it. Under what circumstances would the government not pay the maintenance of a public primary school? Should the public expect that Dan Andrews would not pay to remove asbestos? Replace lights? Remove rubbish? Clean windows? Vacuum carpets? Cut grass? Or is it that the November date for Victoria's election is so close that the ALP will announce anything so as to get applause?
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. The low standing of news, with the #FakeNews meme is not recent. The partisan nature of news is ancient. Partisan substandard news was evident in the days of Horatio Nelson who joined the Whigs because he wanted positive press. And they gave it to him. Some are saying that the collapse of news is recent, and point to the internet weakening news, so that stretched reporters are mixing opinion with fact. It is true that reporters are doing that, but it is selective as an error. Partisan one sided reporting would tell readers if a speaker took a $5k helicopter trip with expenses if a conservative did it, but excuse a $180k left wing politician taking their family on overseas jaunts at tax payers expense. Both stories might get reported, but the conservative one gets sexed up. And if the issue of the left wing entitlement issue is raised, then shoulders are shrugged, and the statement "Nobody is any good. Everyone does it" is floated.
So, what if I told you that it was known that an ALP politician promised to look into a petty workplace dispute for a constituent, tanked it, and the result was a school child died from school negligence? What if I then added that that same politician was later found guilty of corruption, and their entire office was tainted. And the schoolboy's parents were blamed by the coroner who turned a blind eye to events leading to the child's death? The press are that awful. And if you don't believe that, then google Joseph Tripodi and Hamidur Rahman.

An open microphone had Obama promising Russia something if he got re elected. He was re elected, and it looks like Russia got Crimea. But if Russia getting Crimea was the promise of Obama, a cost was MH-17. There were lots of other costs too, but it is doubtful Crimea was a Quid Pro Quo arrangement. More broadly, Obama has created a cold war situation with Russia and China so as to control smaller nations like Iran, North Korea and Syria. Cold War is effective, but a bad instrument, promoting injustice. The US glories in Olympic success, but it was achieved over denunciations of Russia, and to a lesser extent, China. The undermining of the Olympics was not instigated by Obama, but has his community organising footprints all over it. In Australia too, Turnbull was behind a lot of undermining of the Liberal Party he did not do on his own and he was not capable of organising on his own. The Age had smeared Andrew Hastie this time last year. In By election, which Turnbull flagged as a test of Abbott's leadership, Hastie got a 0.97% swing to him. In general election, with Turnbull as leader, the swing was 5.12% against Hastie. That is a measure of how bad a Liberal leader Turnbull is. A year ago today, Hastie said during an address to the Liberal Party on 22 August 2015, that soldiers under his command had acted with "honour and integrity" and strongly criticised Defence's handling of the incident, claiming that Defence has breached its duty of care to the soldier involved by taking nearly two and a half years to investigate the matter. Saliently, Turnbull has not acted as those men under Hastie's command.
For some, at the moment, the Sex Party has more credibility.

Smearing the former SAS Captain Andrew Hastie by The Age because he is a Liberal candidate? The incident the Age raises was not a war crime and was not perpetrated by Hastie. Some SAS had removed the hands of killed jihadists for identification reasons. Not as trophies and not to mutilate corpses. There is a glacially slow investigation into the incident where, when Captain Hastie was alerted, to it he responsibly referred it. But a reasonable person might not know that if they read The Age. The reasonable person (what reasonable person would read the Age?) would see the headline "Question of Conduct" over the Captain's face and the article doesn't explain he wasn't present or involved in the lawful act, until the last few lines. It is appalling, a low standard of journalism. Hastie, however, when challenged on it answered well and saliently.
ABC smears Royal Commission judge Dyson Heydon. They broadcast that the judge had released false or doctored documents over half an hour after it had been retracted. Because it had been demonstrated he hadn't. The Royal Commission into union corruption is important because unions control the ALP. They even demoted a talentless female hack in Tasmania and promoted a talentless male unionist hack.
Greens strangle development while mining unions are silent at the loss of work. The mines are not really closed for environmental concerns. Activists are paying locals to complain. Activists whom are often funded by welfare.
Jihadists attack on Paris Amsterdam Train and on Bangkok show that Obama has failed after withdrawing troops from conflict and cutting military spending. Two off duty marines were heroes on the train. One was badly wounded.
Pope campaigns on borderless world but fails to responsibly limit the harm caused. People will die from the irresponsible call. They won't die free. They will be exploited by people smugglers and lose all the promise God had blessed them with their life.

From 2014
Sometimes it is salient to look at last years issues and see what has changed. With the impending election last year, Rudd was working to 'preserve the furniture' and the way he did that was enlightening. He hurt a little boy. He refused to apologise or address his killing of desperate poor people who wished to migrate to Australia, but rather declared it was impossible. He placed trust in the failed policies of his treasurer. He claimed he addressed the issue of a Carbon Tax. He made more spending promises regarding disabled people and education. People supported him, but it was hard for them. In one desperate act, 18 girls photographed their vagina for a Honi Soit university magazine cover. Following that expose, one girl outed herself further, showing her name and face too. But more puzzling was the Liberal Party campaign which seemed to demarcate and allow ALP to retain furniture in safe ALP seats. Some really bad ALP members were not exposed, and today, one might look at the closeness of developers to Liberal Party candidates in safe ALP seats which fell in '11 to the State party. The Liberal candidates were not competent either. But they seem to have had connection to Tripodi through the developers. It is an echo of Brian Burke who compromised the Liberals in WA through his corruption that had not been addressed by a judicial system leary of addressing corruption in the ALP. The issue is for democracy to be strong, both sides have to be capable of addressing hard questions, but the media and judiciary are neither fair nor fearless, and who can concentrate on the politics when girls are making such statements those pictures made .. evil is he who evil thinks .. Honi soit, qui mal y pense. Rudd would save furniture, but the present government is gummed up now because of decisions made then. And still the ALP leader has no policy addressing urgent national needs. Andrew Bolt has praised Martin Ferguson as being an adult in the ALP. However that so called adult supported every single bad, murderous policy the ALP passed in six years of government. No ALP member today has the ability of the compromised Mal Colston. None of them should be in parliament.
Last year Obama was considering bombing Syria in favour of helping those who are now hitting Iraq. This is because chemical weapons of the type developed by Saddam Hussein were used on Syrian peoples by their government. Stupidly, desperate Christians keen to prevent bloodshed praised the murderous regime of Syria as 'not being that bad.' Yet again another reason why religion has no place in politics. Had Obama acted correctly last year, and used troops on the ground, the problems of this year could have been avoided. But, Russia said 'no.' Obama agreed to Russia having benefit if he was reelected, and he was. We don't yet know what that was, but it looks like Crimea. If Crimea was the price of a reelected Obama, then MH17 was the cost. America needs to muzzle her President.

Today's Old Testament reading: Psalm 107-109
1 Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good;
his love endures forever.
his love endures forever.
2 Let the redeemed of the LORD tell their story-
those he redeemed from the hand of the foe,
3 those he gathered from the lands,
from east and west, from north and south.
those he redeemed from the hand of the foe,
3 those he gathered from the lands,
from east and west, from north and south.
4 Some wandered in desert wastelands,
finding no way to a city where they could settle.
5 They were hungry and thirsty,
and their lives ebbed away.
6 Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble,
and he delivered them from their distress.
7 He led them by a straight way
to a city where they could settle.
8 Let them give thanks to the LORD for his unfailing love
and his wonderful deeds for mankind,
9 for he satisfies the thirsty
and fills the hungry with good things....

The Nature of True Apostleship
1 This, then, is how you ought to regard us: as servants of Christ and as those entrusted with the mysteries God has revealed. 2Now it is required that those who have been given a trust must prove faithful. 3 I care very little if I am judged by you or by any human court; indeed, I do not even judge myself.4 My conscience is clear, but that does not make me innocent. It is the Lord who judges me. 5 Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait until the Lord comes. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of the heart. At that time each will receive their praise from God.
6 Now, brothers and sisters, I have applied these things to myself and Apollos for your benefit, so that you may learn from us the meaning of the saying, "Do not go beyond what is written." Then you will not be puffed up in being a follower of one of us over against the other. 7 For who makes you different from anyone else? What do you have that you did not receive? And if you did receive it, why do you boast as though you did not?

Morning
We are here taught the great lesson, that to get, we must give; that to accumulate, we must scatter; that to make ourselves happy, we must make others happy; and that in order to become spiritually vigorous, we must seek the spiritual good of others. In watering others, we are ourselves watered. How? Our efforts to be useful, bring out our powers for usefulness. We have latent talents and dormant faculties, which are brought to light by exercise. Our strength for labour is hidden even from ourselves, until we venture forth to fight the Lord's battles, or to climb the mountains of difficulty. We do not know what tender sympathies we possess until we try to dry the widow's tears, and soothe the orphan's grief. We often find in attempting to teach others, that we gain instruction for ourselves. Oh, what gracious lessons some of us have learned at sick beds! We went to teach the Scriptures, we came away blushing that we knew so little of them. In our converse with poor saints, we are taught the way of God more perfectly for ourselves and get a deeper insight into divine truth. So that watering others makes us humble. We discover how much grace there is where we had not looked for it; and how much the poor saint may outstrip us in knowledge. Our own comfort is also increased by our working for others. We endeavour to cheer them, and the consolation gladdens our own heart. Like the two men in the snow; one chafed the other's limbs to keep him from dying, and in so doing kept his own blood in circulation, and saved his own life. The poor widow of Sarepta gave from her scanty store a supply for the prophet's wants, and from that day she never again knew what want was. Give then, and it shall be given unto you, good measure, pressed down, and running over.
Evening
We may gain much solace by considering what God has not said. What he has said is inexpressibly full of comfort and delight; what he has not said is scarcely less rich in consolation. It was one of these "said nots" which preserved the kingdom of Israel in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash, for "the Lord said not that he would blot out the name of Israel from under heaven." 2 Kings 14:27. In our text we have an assurance that God will answer prayer, because he hath "not said unto the seed of Israel, Seek ye me in vain." You who write bitter things against yourselves should remember that, let your doubts and fears say what they will, if God has not cut you off from mercy, there is no room for despair: even the voice of conscience is of little weight if it be not seconded by the voice of God. What God has said, tremble at! But suffer not your vain imaginings to overwhelm you with despondency and sinful despair. Many timid persons have been vexed by the suspicion that there may be something in God's decree which shuts them out from hope, but here is a complete refutation to that troublesome fear, for no true seeker can be decreed to wrath. "I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth; I have not said," even in the secret of my unsearchable decree, "Seek ye me in vain." God has clearly revealed that he will hear the prayer of those who call upon him, and that declaration cannot be contravened. He has so firmly, so truthfully, so righteously spoken, that there can be no room for doubt. He does not reveal his mind in unintelligible words, but he speaks plainly and positively, "Ask, and ye shall receive." Believe, O trembler, this sure truth--that prayer must and shall be heard, and that never, even in the secrets of eternity, has the Lord said unto any living soul, "Seek ye me in vain."

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)
