Canada loses another election
Trudeau rewarded for COVID failure. Who will be the next conservative leader? Will the next conservative leader have different policies to Trudeau? Why was PPC denied a place in leader's debate when they qualified on all criteria?
My name is David Daniel Ball I'm a teacher with three decades experience teaching math to high school kids.I also work with first graders and kids in between first grade and high school. I know the legends of why Hypatia's dad is remembered through his contribution to Math theory. And I know the legend of why followers of Godel had thought he had disproved God's existence.
I'm not a preacher, but I am a Christian who has written over 28 books all of which include some reference to my faith. Twelve blog books on world history and current affairs, detailing world events , births and marriages on each day of the year, organised by month. Twelve books on the background to and history of Bible Quotes. One Bible quote per day for a year. An intro to a science fiction series I'm planning, post apocalyptic cyber punk. An autobiography with short story collections.
I'm known in Australia for my failure as a whistleblower over the negligence death of a school boy. I had reported the issue responsibly and had not known I'd blown the whistle. The embarrassed left wing government had responded by imposition of a nationwide ban on the use of peanut butter in canteens, despite failing to address the issue of peanut allergy appropriately.
I've been de-platformed on Facebook and twitter despite not being an activist. Twitter did not like me asking for Obama to face justice in 2011. FB gave no specific reason for removing me following Jan 6th 2021 in Washington DC where a policeman killed an unarmed woman, so a crowd would know he was in control.
https://voiceddb.locals.com/post/1018405/intro-to-locals-for-the-conservative-voiceA successful withdrawal was what was engineered at Gallipolli, where, over three days troops pulled out of defended positions and left on ships .. nobody died. That was war. Nobody was left behind. Because of the failure, WW1 was prolonged another two and a half years, Russia collapsed etc etc. The price of failure was big. But the retreat was a success. In contrast, Biden's retreat was utter failure in Afghanistan.
Editorial on Covid policy failure
It is apparent COVID policy is political, not health related. However health advice has been political and not health related. Public health has been corrupted. Media has failed. Judiciary is corrupt. Defence is incompetent. The thin blue line has been cut. And, elder abuse is apparent from the Presidential office through to the ordinary NYC retirement home. On the plus side, there is an emerging possibility of an empty gesture securing the white house for womyn on behalf of one raised in Canada. Dan Andrews' lockdown has cancelled AA meetings. Go the beers. Playgrounds have been shut down state wide and even a curfew has been re-imposed. There is no science showing any such measure addresses COVID, but we know it allows the government to assert authority.

Editorial Biden's Afghan failure culminated from Obama's Afghan lies
Afghanistan is in flames as Biden begins bombing runs on terrorists as he seeks to negotiate with them. US soldiers have been killed after a strategic error left an exposed airport the only means of Americans and their allies to flee. Biden says those that remained behind wanted to, after fleeing Afghans clinging to a wing and fuselage of an aircraft plummet to their deaths. After Biden had said the Afghan government would stand following US withdrawal. US left behind billions of dollars of weapons Chicago gangs look on with shock and awe. The Taliban will not use a fleet of Blackhawk helicopters. China will.
So who is responsible for the failure? According to Biden, the buck stops with him, and he views it as a Dunkirk like success, when he is not looking at his watch waiting for mourning to end of soldiers that died in his service. Biden also feels any mistake was made by Donald Trump as NK begins nuclear weapons work. The US military have included critical junior officers in their lists of personal pronouns for enemies. What is a personal pronoun for a failed President?
Editorial on God In answer to Dinesh Dsousa's article
The God the atheists refute is not real, but is a ridiculous, impossible figure. God is real. God as He is revealed in the Bible is a fact. However, as ridiculous as the atheists arguments are, they are instructive. God made a bridge He could not cross (man's rejection of Him). God bridged that gap with Jesus. Thing is, atheists don't believe that that gap is real.
In my Sermon on a Miracle I describe how God gave a childless woman who could not bear children, prayed for children, family. He did that. And he did not use supernatural measures.
God is real. God does the impossible. God is not subject to our demands. God answers prayer. Sometimes bad people prosper for a time. All those statements are true.
God is worthy of praise. Atheists don't see it, but they have countless examples of it, from their own lives to the works of those they admire. In the Revelations of the Holy Spirit I underscore and outline some of what God does that even atheists call for.
We need god, but even in a world without God, there is a need for Him.

Don't give up on hope. The world was supposed to end today, according to an idiot who claimed he could see things in the Bible. And he can see things. Just not what is there. The idiot believed that the bible predicted that a rogue planet would hit Earth. This planet would be ten times Earth's size. Any such planet coming near to Earth would be noticed long before it got here. There would be, among other things, tidal changes. At some point, near the end, there would be an exchange of atmospheres. Anyway, all that was proven conclusively was that the idiot does not have special knowledge of the bible, or basic knowledge of science. A bit like any AGW believer.
God is real, just not in the way that the idiot imagines things. Miracles happen, and are profound and edifying. Not like the calamity of the end of the world, but sometimes in simple joys, like Tigers winning an AFL semi final against Sydney's Giants. Next week, Tigers take on Adelaide. They will need a miracle to win.
Temperatures in Melbourne plummeted 9 degrees centigrade in half an hour on Saturday. Not because of AGW, but because warm inland air was diverted north. A Bradfield scheme could fix that.

Dutch cuisine beats American cuisine.
Censorship? Or is there a commercial reason for banning a book? I can't think of a commercial reason.
A shameful display by left wingers. Merely wearing a T Shirt means it is ok to be denounced as a molestor? For their actions, I hope those students are appropriately dealt with by authorities.
I think racism is wrong. But many seem to see it as an opportunity.
Putting aside the issue of the translator, his request for collaboration and communication could sound chilling. And better communication with police would be desirable. At the moment it seems a little one sided with police following the law.
Except Abbott was never one for empty gestures.

Precious few have signed my petitions. I have one for Australia at Change.org and two for US peoples. One at change.org and one for the Whitehouse. They cost nothing to sign, and mean little, but were they addressed they would be explosive for the NSW public service, police, coroner, ICAC and ALP. I was advised by a back party member that change.org could be effective. I personally despise much that passes through that organisation. I sent an email to Mr Abbott after he became PM, and after Barry O'Farrell got rolled. Originally, I'd sent it to Barry O'Farrell. Mr Abbott's office responded, telling me that he had read it and was referring it to the Attorney General. The AG referred it to the justice minister. And there it died. I have done nothing wrong. I have clean hands and can talk about the issue. But the partisan press don't have to report on it. According to David Penberthy, I can be ignored because of my faith as an evangelical Christian. Penberthy attributed views to me on abortion and marriage that I do not hold, because of my being a conservative Christian he calls far right. That Mr Abbott did not act on it is telling. His government was effective but for the senate, and but for internal sniping. Perhaps my issue wasn't addressed so MT could make Mr Abbott look ineffective? MT's leadership is crumbling the closer people look at his program. But Scott Morrison is looking much better, scoring many points in the crucible of 7:30 on ABC.

From 2014
Tonight Channel 9 feature a Ray Martin interview with former PM Julia Gillard. In the interview, Gillard will attempt to reinvent herself for post political employment opportunity. It is interesting the interviewer is Martin and not Laurie Oakes. Oakes is partisan ALP but part of the Rudd camp, having leaked damaging information about Gillard in favour of Rudd. Martin is partisan ALP but in the past has been called 'balanced' as he excused the ALP much when their corruption was obvious. Tonight, Gillard will lie about several significant things. Gillard will lie about how and why she deposed Rudd, claiming she was hesitant and in two minds. She has clearly been in two minds, vacillating over how her actions appear versus her need for power. She was clearly hesitant too, until she realised she didn't need to tell the truth about her activity, ever. Instead she will say that Rudd was damaged and weak, but being an ALP member, that is true of anyone, including herself. Gillard will also lie about her governments backflip to embrace a carbon dioxide tax. As subsequent events have shown, she and her colleagues always intended to foist one on the Australian Peoples and she and Swan lied when they said they wouldn't. She will lie too about her clammy embrace of corrupt parliamentarians like Carr, Slipper and Thomson. She will claim they mislead her and she trusted them. The truth is she would have used anyone to hang onto power, and did. Also, Gillard will claim she was treated poorly for her gender. Her claim that Abbott is a misogynist is a bare faced lie and the truth is much was excused her for being the worst female Prime Minister Australia has ever had. And in times to come, she will probably always be the worst ever female Prime Minister. Following Mr Abbott's election victory, ALP claimed the conservatives did not value science research as they did not have a science minister. The ministry had been poor, promoting fads, not science, and people died and the economy was encumbered as a result. However, the 2014 budget intended to create a $20 billion research fund, and the ALP has opposed it. A research fund like that is something that would be profoundly beneficial for science. Clearly the ALP have lied about their support for science. They need to embrace science and support the fund.
Terrorists have fans of science, as some loitering near Lucas Heights nuclear power station demonstrate. Just because they are four guys with beards being asked to move along does not mean Islamic peoples are being profiled unfairly. There have been planned attacks in the past and Australia has a security issue at the moment. Meanwhile a terrorist leader from Australia has a traditional past, having served time in organised crime as a brothel worker and attack dog. His own mother might have even smirked when she said she thought he was 'studying overseas.' It is not Islam, but terrorists and Islamo Fascists who use myths and excuses to murder and rape and torture a way to a new world. Sadly impotent Islamic leadership identify with the terrorists. One outrageous recent claim is that ISIS soldiers are raping women to raise a new generation of Islamic peoples. But children are not merely conceived, they are raised too, and these intended absent fathers will not achieve their claim, even as they achieve their aim. And so we have a terrorist manifesto, the voice of someone who hates us, a criminal, torturer, rapist and killer ordering his minions to go forth. And the pathetic mainstream media excuse the activity, saying there are legitimate reasons for the activity, blaming Jews for living, blaming Western culture for existing, blaming deprivation experienced by poor Islamic peoples who are badly led. But there is no excuse for terrorism. Wilkie has campaigned on one excuse. He has claimed that the invasion of Iraq was based on a lie that there were no weapons of mass destruction. He still claims this after Syria unleashed it on their own people. ALP is divided on security too. Their leader, Shorten, claims he is following the conservative lead, but his own members are saying the opposite. A french man is captured by ISIS, and Media Watch hosts of past and present sneer at raids which protect Australian peoples from similar.
A teacher has apparently used a mentally ill 14 yo girl as rape bait. The teacher's plans went awry when the girl went with a suspected violent rapist boy, also mentally ill, into the wrong lavatory. The girl was apparently raped and sodomised by the boy. There is no report yet of the teacher doing serious jail time for neglect and stupidity. A new migrant shop owner has been charged with setting an arson fire in his own business which claimed the lives of three people. Clive Palmer has claimed that Jacqui Lambie, his hand picked member of parliament in the senate, is not very bright. Seems to have taken him a long time to realise it.

From 2013
Todays postings are focused on the world issue where radical Islam has dominated Islamic cultural expression. So it is an expectation of Islam that rape, including children, murder, including children and even cannibalism is seen as cultural. There is no degradation that isn't justified by holy war. Even where war isn't present. So that the greatest threat to Islamic peoples seems to be from Islamic peoples. And no one dare help Islamic peoples, for fear of wrath of their Islamic enemies. Some, people like Obama, feed the crocodile, hoping it will eat them last. But there is hope. Hope that not all Islam peoples are filthy, nasty, corrupt animals capable of no compassion. I get it that there are terrible consequences for decent good Islamic peoples from speaking out. There is no tradition of greatness, like that of Martin Luther King, Mahatma Ghandi, Golda Meier, Pope Francis or the Dalai Lama calling for peace.
An Australian architect who is practical left wing, believes in renewable architecture, has an eight month pregnant wife, and a vision for future prosperity in poor Africa. And both he and his wife are killed by terrorists, one of whom asked a person claiming to be Muslim who Mohammed's mother was and answering wrong. For the record, the correct answer is probably the sister of Mohammed's father, or Satan. Also killed is renowned poet Kofi Awoonor. And a Nephew and fiancé of the Kenyan PM. But they did not die alone. In Pakistan, a Christian church was bombed, killing some seventy out of 400 parishioners. They had just finished a service and were having a communal lunch. But they were not alone either. In Israel, on separate occasions, a soldier was killed. The soldiers were not doing anything wrong. One was lured to their death by a madman who wanted to negotiate the release of their terrorist brother, a door opened by Obama. The other killed by a sniper. I include today an article of a woman who made the mistake of marrying an Islamic man.
Another issue is Global Warming belief. There needs to be a royal commission investigation into how Australia has sacrificed so may billions of dollars for no purpose. Because, as we look at how the money was spent, and who prospered, we see the same people who excused terrorism, endorsed Global Warming extremism.
