An article on COVID mortality rates questions vaccine effectiveness
Outgoing German CEO was touted as the most successful conservative of her time. What does success look like?
Today, 25th Sept 2021 I carry fake news
The fake news comes from a left wing site called "The Hill"
In the article on the Arizona draft Audit into 2020 election fraudulently given Biden, we are told there were no accidents and that a simple vote count shows Biden won. However, the simple vote count does not show that at all. It shows that the voter fraud was wilful and deliberate. It shows that the parties behind the fraud covered their tracks. Now for the parts of the audit that have been opposed. A check of signatures. The system data showing when and how votes were cast. That will take longer because the investigation has been impeded.
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. Work to earn money. Unless you don't earn much money and live in a welfare state like Australia. Then you may see that earning $500 will benefit you $100 for some low income earners. That is a statistic from Australia's treasury highlighting how lower taxes are better for the consumer. The ALP are grandstanding on people being paid less, but at higher rates on Sundays. Malcolm wants to be loved. If Gay marriage passes, then Malcolm can retire knowing he was the equal of 'sorry' Kevin Rudd. Meanwhile a NYT journalist, Steven Greenhouse is concerned a volunteer child got face time with President Trump for mowing the White House grass. Via Morgan Begg
I was privileged to go to an IPA and Menzies Research Centre event in Melbourne tonight. A panel discussed a speech by Frank Furedi. The panel included Calum Thwaites and Bella d’Abrera. The issue discussed was the curtailing of thought at university by identity politics. Bella, an IPA researcher, was able to give validation to Frank's broad brush strokes, and Calum could speak as a victim of an HRC abuse of power which had him classed as a racist for commenting on a thread on FB in 2013. Frank's initial thought was that the to and fro of robust debate in the 60's and 70's was now entirely dominated by the left. My question was "When did conservative leaders become so timid that such abuse of power is now left unanswered?" I knew the answer, but found their response telling.
Seated in front of me was Senator James Paterson, whom I'd asked for help earlier in the year, and he unfriended me on FB. To be fair, James has played a leading role in fixing the abuse of power of the HRC in Calum's case, and my issue is above his pay grade. The correct answer regarding the left's abuse of power is that it is historic and ever present. One can point at lots of things from the French Revolution onwards (and before then too, but it is acknowledged that is when modern history began). However, conservative leadership failing to address abuse of power like that committed by the HRC on Andrew Bolt and those university students is recent and directly attributable to Malcolm Turnbull. Turnbull could speak out as a conservative leader on the issue of free speech, except he is compromised and also resorts to power abuse as he has done curtailing debate on same sex marriage during the campaign.
The left wing run universities because conservative leaders let them. They abuse their powers for the same reason. But there will be a reckoning for the abuse of power. One day, universities in Australia will have their public funding cut, and better bodies will be found which accredit students for the work force. But by then, Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull will be a bad memory of the worst Liberal Prime Minister since Malcolm Fraser.
Caroline Glick, Israeli writer, wrote movingly of an arab journalist friend of hers whose life is threatened. At issue is a Jordanian opposition leader she had hoped would put a strong case for Jordan being part of a two state solution. The UN stance on Israel is appallingly bad, and highlights a lack of conservative leadership too, But in reply to her accusation, the opposition leader gave a Turnbull like response, which almost said Caroline was right, but so what? Caroline could not prove anything. But she doesn't need to prove anything, when she has been given a confession.

My preferences for Redgum Ward. I have placed sitting councillors last. It won't mean much. There are about thirteen thousand voters in this ward spread across Keysborough, South Dandenong and the CBD and I'm not letter dropping or handing out how to vote cards. Media are waiting until the last week to run articles on the election and may be restricting candidate letters to the editor. At the end of the day, it is about spending too much money, fetters on local business and garbage collection. The left dominated council are very bad on these fronts. But I'm playing a long game. I want a coherent platform this election so in four years time I will be known. And maybe I can get important issues addressed in the mean time. Car parks. Cheaper, more efficient waste disposal. Better public transport bussing vectors. Less red tape on business. Better youth employment. Better planning so that there are facilities for places of worship and recreation. Better infrastructure for internet. Council aren't responsible for all of that, but they have input in all of that.
Hillary was slippery and offered nothing beyond confusion and excuses. It was made all about Trump. He did not make a gaff. He made valid points Hillary danced around. Sky News in Australia gave it to Hillary too. But Trump did not fail. Did not try to be something he wasn't. Did not appear as Hillary portrays him. In my view, Hillary lost because she failed to slam him shut. The public had low expectations of Trump. He exceeded that. He did not joke as Reagan did about exploiting his opponents youth and innocence. He did not hurt Hillary. He let her shriek, and took the high ground.
Hillary's reply to Trump's claim the budget could be $5 trillion better off was telling. "I was confused by what you offered. I have considered that. It would not offer those savings." She has no hope for America. No plan. Hillary was belled placing a lie on Trump several times. The moderator rushed to prevent Trump from addressing them. But he calmly replied. Hillary's track record is that of failure and murderous incompetence. She stands on her record.
The left wing media pieces were written before the debate. They knew they needed to have to have something to promote Hillary. Hillary gave them nothing in the debate to endorse her. Making up a meme about Trump not shaking a hand when he clearly did just shows they are using the same play sheet.
Hillary has tremendous stamina. Her sustained poor judgement spans decades. Trump could never hope to rival it. Ordinary people would be sacked and jailed had they done merely one thing Hillary has done every year of her public career. Beginning with almost imploding the case against Nixon on Watergate through corruption.
Kevin Rudd has a lot of experience with this. He tried very hard to turn Australia into a toilet.
Did it happen to mention what she said? I am not disputing the assertion that Emma Watson has left wing values. I just would like to judge what she has said by what she has said. I tire of journalists reporting only their opinion.
The Vote Compass question was so bad, so engineered for a result, I refused to use it. Naturally Penny relies on this six year old device of the left.
All Turnbull offers as leader of the Liberals is further humiliation before his resignation. He seems keen to leave a lodestone memory.
Ken Henry has no credibility. He would only oppose spending if the government was conservative. It is not the principle, but the tribe. In fact, Australia spends too much and needed to cut spending when Rudd was PM too.
It is not the first time Obama has promoted a policy that runs counter to reality or the interests of the United States. Hillary wants to continue that work.
Trigger warnings are part and parcel with Safe Schooling. It would be better to raise them with wolves.
Hockey was underrated as treasurer, I believe because he was a stumbling block to Turnbull. Turnbull promised crossbenchers things would be different when he was PM. Not entirely a lie. Now that Turnbull is PM, the only similarity with Abbott's government is Abbott's policies are rebadged and made worse so as to promote Turnbull. What Australia really needs is work choices.
Birmingham has no idea about schooling, based on what he has said, quoted here. Private schools are subsidised by the taxpayer, but if they were to be closed, and students shifted to the public purse, the government could not afford the cost. We need private schools, and they need some public money. Parents using private schools are subsidising public school children too. They should. They do. Safe Schools is evil. Children do not benefit from the program but are exploited by it. They are not safe with it operating. But some adults get sexual pleasure from exploiting all children with Safe Schools. Those adults made choices as adults and are now forcing students to make choices about things they are not equipped through nature to deal with. However, if the Liberals support it, then the program will have bipartisan support because the ALP are corrupt and venal and care nothing for Australia or her children
I don't agree with what Pauline Hanson says, or Lambie, very often. I don't mind them saying it, I can debate their points. But I wish there was someone who could be an advocate for me. For economic conservative favouring Libertarian values (except on religion or drugs). Yet so many so called Christian Conservatives are all over the place. Abbott spoke sense but was undermined by Turnbull and had to do some defensive things so as to not get rolled. Turnbull just takes me for granted. Turnbull is a classic tax and spend left winger. He is big government favouring, and he has contempt for basic freedoms required for a free democratic state to prosper. And then we have Shorten campaigning for corruption. And if Shorten gets rolled it will be by another who feels they can better wield slush funds and exploit. It is telling that a whistleblower like Kathy Jackson is being persecuted by those who accepted her predecessor doing worse.
Clinton has stamina and staying power. Few people could have such sustained bad decision making. Most would have been sacked after their first error. The doormat can set up a slush fund and avoid scrutiny through an illegally established email server that was a security risk. And when she was found out, she had her people smash the phones with hammers. But she can say 'personal income tax because when she was secretary of state, voters personal income tax were vetted by the IRS if they were conservative.

Some wonder about Malcolm Turnbull being good enough to lead the Liberal Party. At the moment, the party is so compromised any individual might have more virtue. However, the Liberal Party is older than Malcolm and will outlast him. Already, there are members whose actions will be defined under Turnbull's stewardship in ways they never could have under Abbott, who had had to fend off Turnbull. The sad truth is the ALP has no one competent to lead it. And no one to replace the incompetent leading it. An aloof capitalist leading the Liberal party is par for the course. A corrupt bastard boss leading the ALP, having exploited workers for money, is a joke. Some are resigning from the Liberal Party on principle. None would do that from the ALP.
For some, at the moment, the Sex Party has more credibility.

From 2014
Terrorists are violent and capable of planning, but not tending to smart. A wise person cautions a young person to prudence, to considering their actions, because escalating an action is always possible so long one allows the opportunity. It is to do with restraint. Had Hawthorn played the AFL Grand Final with weapons instead of athletic skill, they would not have won so handsomely, but Hawthorn played with skill, aggression and restraint. They humbled Swans, who in previous eleven matches had not conceded a total of more than 65 points each match. The leagues most attacking side humbled the leagues best defensive unit 137 to 74, that 74 being one less than the halftime total of the Hawks. But terrorists don't show restraint. And so what else is there to do but oppose them and stop them? Obama has dithered over a year over Syria, but terrorism has galvanised him to action against those he would have supported last year. And so when terrorists demand us to stop attacking ISIS, there is no 'or else' they can go to. No reason they can give us to do so. Every ISIS supporter must face justice for what they do. There is no alternative.
The media coverage related to terrorism is irrational. A man who is converting to Islam beheads a female colleague and the media report is as a workplace accident as opposed to a terrorist event. The difference is stark. Who beheads a colleague over a workplace dispute? It is beyond normal understanding. But a beheading soon after an international call for just that is perfectly explicable. Media are not protecting the public. They are protecting their narrative of events which is dangerously exposed. Media would have it widely believed that terrorists were Islamics seeking justice over perceived faults in culture wars. They point to mythic divides and engage in cultural relativism which suggests that terrorists are just like soldiers of a different cause. But in fact terrorists are just like anarchists of times gone by. They offer nothing other than a hazy vision of something that will never happen and probably shouldn't. It is exactly like a terrorist shouting 'Allahu Akbar' before gunning down a large number of mostly unarmed colleagues while Obama is claiming terrorism has been ended by his compassion and appeasement. That wasn't a mere workplace accident either. And so it becomes disturbing, but explicable, when the ABC present their dangerously unbalanced narrative suggesting terrorism is excusable. Terrorists may not watch the ABC, but they are fed the lines the ABC present to them that there are myths that support and endorse terrorism. Meanwhile the Taliban in Afghanistan feed into the narrative, having watched ISIS behead others and claim success, they do too, and the narrative becomes that is what Islamic people do. But the narrative is wrong. It is what terrorists do, and those that disagree with the truth believe the ADL, ABC and Fairfax press at the expense of those addressing the issue. And a man is arrested for walking with a knife into an Islamic primary school. No doubt he was looking for terrorists. What would he have done had he found a terrorist? What would he have done had he found a lone Islamic child? Not all terrorists claim to be Islamic.
Gillard's whining is beneath the behaviour expected of a former Prime Minister. But not beneath what is expected of a corrupt incompetent lawyer. Palmer is embarrassed by a lack of due diligence regarding $12 million he was supposed to have spent on a port but apparently siphoned for an election. He must be in very deep trouble with China and the Australian justice system. Meanwhile the ABC complain about a champagne deal struck with Cambodia involving the settling of illegal migrants. The ABC would rather drown the migrants. Also there are allegations of apparent voter fraud which gave an upset win over Liberal Sophie Mirabella. The electoral system could be made fraud proof, were the electoral system to allow electronic voting and forget the secrecy provision, but make it verifiable. It could be a cheaper system too.
This column welcomes feedback and criticism. The column is not made up but based on the days events and articles which are then placed in the feed. So they may not have an apparent cohesion they would have had were they made up. The biggest sporting event of the day, from the AFL, and Sydney Swans were present for a historic victory. They played with skill and aggression, or rather, they were outplayed by it. No other Minor Premier has ever been beaten by so much in a grand final. They are that good. If there had been four more quarters, there wold have been further humiliation. Swans played well .. but Hawks were magnificent.
The media coverage related to terrorism is irrational. A man who is converting to Islam beheads a female colleague and the media report is as a workplace accident as opposed to a terrorist event. The difference is stark. Who beheads a colleague over a workplace dispute? It is beyond normal understanding. But a beheading soon after an international call for just that is perfectly explicable. Media are not protecting the public. They are protecting their narrative of events which is dangerously exposed. Media would have it widely believed that terrorists were Islamics seeking justice over perceived faults in culture wars. They point to mythic divides and engage in cultural relativism which suggests that terrorists are just like soldiers of a different cause.

From 2013
ALP say they couldn't do it. ABC says it technically isn't the same. But a boat with 44 asylum seekers leaving the safety of Indonesia after the asylum seekers spent over $10k each has been returned to Indonesia .. no loss of life. It wouldn't have happened without Indonesian cooperation. Bad news for the ALP whose murderous but compassionate policy has claimed some 2000 lives drowned at the cost of many billions of dollars siphoned from aid, schools, hospitals, defence, roads .. taxpayers, the poor and dispossessed. More boats will follow, but it is certain that they will stop, as they had before under the Pacific Solution. I prefer the conservative policy to the left wing compassion.
ALP are still in denial regarding their bad policy in all areas. While they were in government, able to siphon and divert money to mates, the world seemed ok to them. Political enemies were smeared. An economic problem, McGurk, was assassinated, a bogus training mine was established, pedophiles and rapists were given free passes. Prisoners given parole. And what has changed? A budget analysis by Hockey shows how inept the ALP have been .. they weren't hampered by falling tax receipts, the ALP had spent too big. Too big on desalination plants they can't use. Too much on dying industry props. Too much on ruining functioning industry. Too much on empty symbols. Meanwhile the ALP devalued family, the family home, the cradle. In 2008, the ALP legal advisers sought to end the NT intervention. Not for compassion .. for money and control. Meanwhile, new ALP leaders are promising to change nothing.
Global warming believers struggle with the inconvenient truth the world hasn't warmed for 15 years. Obama struggles domestically with spending and internationally with decision making. Meanwhile it turns out that the only safe haven for Islamic peoples, Israel, was shortchanged by Australian ALP government keen to bow to anti semitic bigots that claim to represent Australian Islamic peoples.
