Tue 7th September 2021 Current Affairs

Join the free voice .. for free

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.

A 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.

From the Bible, 1 Corinthians 15:29-58

Now if there is no resurrection, what will those do who are baptized for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why are people baptized for them? And as for us, why do we endanger ourselves every hour? I face death every day—yes, just as surely as I boast about you in Christ Jesus our Lord. If I fought wild beasts in Ephesus with no more than human hopes, what have I gained? If the dead are not raised,

“Let us eat and drink,
    for tomorrow we die.”

Do not be misled: “Bad company corrupts good character.” Come back to your senses as you ought, and stop sinning; for there are some who are ignorant of God—I say this to your shame.

The Resurrection Body

But someone will ask, “How are the dead raised? With what kind of body will they come?” How foolish! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies. When you sow, you do not plant the body that will be, but just a seed, perhaps of wheat or of something else. But God gives it a body as he has determined, and to each kind of seed he gives its own body. Not all flesh is the same: People have one kind of flesh, animals have another, birds another and fish another. There are also heavenly bodies and there are earthly bodies; but the splendor of the heavenly bodies is one kind, and the splendor of the earthly bodies is another. The sun has one kind of splendor, the moon another and the stars another; and star differs from star in splendor.

So will it be with the resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable; it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body.

If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body. So it is written: “The first man Adam became a living being”; the last Adam, a life-giving spirit. The spiritual did not come first, but the natural, and after that the spiritual. The first man was of the dust of the earth; the second man is of heaven. As was the earthly man, so are those who are of the earth; and as is the heavenly man, so also are those who are of heaven. And just as we have borne the image of the earthly man, so shall we bear the image of the heavenly man.

I declare to you, brothers and sisters, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed— in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality. When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: “Death has been swallowed up in victory.”

“Where, O death, is your victory?
    Where, O death, is your sting?”

The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.

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. 

As part of the November 24th Vic election campaign I have a petition I want to bring before the Opposition Leader Matthew Guy. I believe Matthew will be the next premier of Victoria and so I am petitioning him as I raise the issues of Employment, Crime and Education in Dandenong. I am also seeking money for my campaign. I don't have party resources, and so my campaign is on foot, and on the internet. Any money I receive that is not spent on the campaign will go to Grow 4 Life. I am asking questions like "What do you love about Dandenong?" and "If you could change something in Dandenong to make it better, what would it be?" I'm not limiting the questions to state issues. I'm happy to discuss anything, and get things done.
=== from 2017 ===
Some things should not happen, but they do. The Australian High Court has determined that the postal vote on Gay Marriage can proceed. Activists like Get Up! and the Greens tried to oppose the vote on the grounds they wanted to have legislators impose a will on the issue, potentially at odds with the majority view. Costs have been awarded and Get Up! have to pay for their attempt at extra constitutional rule. Now, to be really free, Australians should vote 'no.' Because a 'yes' vote does not entail protection for churches which act on conscience over gay marriage. So a church could be sued if it declined to marry a gay couple. Mind you, some churches want to. There is already civil union and gay marriages are recognised, as are polygamous ones among refugees? 

What became of the UN endorsed principle of proportionate response? Wrapping a terrorist in an Israeli flag is described as 'torture.' But it is only difficult if the terrorist is also an anti semitic bigot. And if that is the case, can anyone be responsible for what they fear? Assume for the moment there is no legitimate reason for terrorism. Then anything a terrorist likes or dislikes is bound to be irrational. How about we describe torture as being something terrible done, like genital electric shocks, drowning etc etc. But if we do that, then we must also admit that those seeking open borders are themselves torturers. 
=== from 2016 === 
Comparing right wingers with terrorists is lazy. The rhetoric of people like Wilders and Farage is in opposition to rape, murder and torture. what examples are there of Wilders followers murdering cartoonists, or Farage's followers killing gays. Maybe it is better to question the left's embrace of murderous compassion for migrants from weak borders which promote piracy. The UN has an appalling history of supporting terrorism and even preventing peaceful settlement. The UN only went into Cambodia after Vietnam ended the killing fields. When Libya bombed a passenger jet over Lockerbie they worked very hard to make sure that the killers never went to trial. The UN often fails in her evil plans. Prince Zeid Ra’ad Zeid Al-Hussein is a Jordanian Prince so his views may be jaundiced for cultural reasons, but that is unprofessional from the head of the UNHCR. His wealth does not legitimise his countryfolk for killing Jews under the false name of Palestine. 

From AlJazeera 
The UN human rights chief has accused US presidential candidate Donald Trump and Dutch nationalist Geert Wilders, among others, of spreading "humiliating racial and religious prejudice".
Zeid Raad al-Hussein said on Monday that "populist, demagogues and political fantasists" like Wilders and Trump, as well as Nigel Farage in Britain and Marine Le Pen in France, were using "fear" tactics similar to those of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL, also known as ISIS and Daesh).
"Make no mistake, I certainly do not equate the actions of nationalist demagogues with those of Daesh," the UN high commissioner for human rights, said at a gala dinner organised by the Hague-based Peace, Justice and Security Foundation.
"But in its mode of communication, its use of half-truths and oversimplification, the propaganda of Daesh uses tactics similar to those of the populists."
"And both sides of this equation benefit from each other - indeed would not expand in influence without each others' actions," he added, calling for global action to lessen the influence of populist politics that could turn violent.
Except Prince Zeid Ra’ad Zeid Al-Hussein is guilty of the gross simplification of issues which influence others to turn violent. 

For some, at the moment, the Sex Party has more credibility.

ALP and Greens try to corrupt Senate to corrupt the Governor General. They want to get the Governor General to dismiss the competent sitting judge of #TURC. If it goes as they intend, they will soon ask the Queen like they did in 1975. 

Leaked cabinet discussions herald back to the pre shuffle comments regarding government performance when Turnbull was agitating for change. Government has changed, becoming more clearly responsive since, while still retaining competent governance. But the partisan media has not changed. 
From 2014
A loved one dies and amid all the other feelings of loss the survivors lose the voice of the loved one. A funeral is an opportunity to grieve and remember, but the designated time is not enough. Pity the parents of Warriena Wright who have to endure her voice being sullied by an alleged killer. The alleged killer is pleading innocent, but has a recording of Warriena's final hours after she hooked up with the alleged killer for kinky sex. In the recording he is heard denying her her clothes and goods as she begs to just leave, and also says he has a recording of her. She was drunk, humiliated and finally she hears a threat that the alleged might not have understood the import of. He is not a good person, he lives his life hedonistically. But she had another life that was separate from the hook up she had walked into. And because she was drunk, because she was shamed, because she was fighting and compromised and tired .. we don't know what happened to her to fall from that balcony. Apparently the alleged hasn't killed others before. No one who signs up for a wild night expects to be humiliated for the rest of their days. Her voice is gone, and all that remains is the self serving, arrogant, sneering presence of the alleged, claiming he isn't guilty. Meanwhile, an explosion in upmarket university area Rozelle and the husband of the dead mother, father of the dead baby, grieves. Their voices are gone too. There is no reason yet for the explosion, but the shop owner is no longer a suspect to the police. Any explanation will be a tragedy, but the community would like to know it wasn't a random occurrence. At least they don't have to endure the knowledge of a survivor who caused it but won't talk. 

A year on with a new federal government, and a hostile media which has wrongly cast the LNP leadership is persisting despite all evidence. Channel 10 news this evening, in counterpoint to the Bolt Report, marked the year as mixed for the government. And yet that would not have been the case if the ALP had better leadership, or if the new senators were aligned with those who voted for them. On the major issues of ending the people smuggling business, ending the tax on plant food and ending the mining tax the federal government have performed as promised. Further, they have a plan dealing with the debt crisis that has no alternative but much opposition. On the other hand there is stonewalling by a senate that is self serving. A desperate Palmer is looking for cash. A desperate Shorten is looking for the next election in the hopes he isn't noticed as being incompetent. Shorten has no policy he can point to and is dangerously close to eliminating any policy on anything that is consistent with a vision which he will need to project, were he to win an election. It is known what Abbott stands for. It is not known what Shorten stands for, other than denial. Sixty Minutes is running a program accusing the government of doing its' job regarding Ashby and Slipper. A sixty minutes journalist, talking to Ashby, observes his assertions are explosive. In fact they aren't. Apparently Mal Brough referred Ashby to a QC. He should have done that. Ashby coded Brough with a female name in testimony. Brough would not have known that. We know of the last year, what about the next two in lead up to an election? Will Palmer be behind bars? Will Shorten? Will ALP find a policy? Will the media begin reporting objectively? Some say that the federal government system is broke. It isn't broken, but it relies on competent people on both sides, and an impartial, strong, press. 

Children respond well to direction. They like to excel, and it is disappointing, enervating and heartbreaking when they are denied that, and are told there is no such thing as success but only individuality. A telling observation regarding media savvy terrorist leaders is the substantial numbers who come from affluent societies that have given much to them. Some are on invalid pensions, job search allowances, have university education and substantial links to bike gangs and organised crime. By way of contrast soldiers are not like that in western nations. Many are duty bound and have strong work ethics. Contrary to terrorist assertions employing moral relativism, soldiers don't kill indiscriminately. Accidents happen, but a soldier would get into trouble were they to behave as terrorists do. With terrorists coming from the same society as soldiers who oppose them, it is salient to ask why, and, apparently, it is to do with upbringing. Without a good family showing right from wrong, things are left to schools. Only schools aren't doing their duty, but making it hard for students to see the way up. A bit like modern news media. Enter Secretary of State John Kerry, calling out in appeal to Muslims, claiming a common enemy is Global Warming. Many Muslim peoples around the world are victim to terrorists calling themselves Muslim. Global Warming might not look like that much of an enemy to them. A joke site has claimed children's cartoon Peppa Pig is offensive to Muslims and some of the anti semitic audience have bought it. 

But what of Global Warming? It is becoming apparent that meteorological groups entrusted with data have misrepresented that data. The world has failed to warm for nineteen years despite vast increases in plant food. It is time for Australia to drop their renewable energy target, which costs billions of dollars and does nothing for world temperature, but makes power more expensive. But the world has other smaller issues which are more important. Will Scotland break away from the United Kingdom? There would be no advantages for doing so, unless they were to join with Ireland and Europe in a common market excluding England (but not Wales). Celebrities have had nude selfies hacked, and some portray the issue as if they are victims of the IS. Ebola crisis continues with Sierra Leone considering curfew and lock down to isolate the infections. It is unknown how Greens in Australia will view this solution. On the one hand victims die, making the world more population steady. On the other hand children are locked in detention. A pop star has died, aged 25, possibly by her own hand. A big prawn has been found and photographed, before being released, possibly to hunt unwary swimmers. WA Barrister has found he can be found innocent by a court into the murder of his wife, just as Shorten has been found innocent of a rape allegation, but nobody wants to shake his hand. Even so, when arrested, it is wise not to resist, as a knife wielder found when being arrested in Canada. 
From 2013
Today is the birthday of Australia's greatest love poet, CJ Dennis. Tony Abbott will soon be PM. Rudd won't be. My heart is full. I have people I must thank who give much of their time for helping me with my duties re Bolt Report Supporter's Group and related groups (Conservative Voice, Smithfield/Fairfield/Cabramatta digital cultural museum and Justice for Hamidur Rahman). Stephanie, Mandy and John, I love you all. And thank you. Bolt report would look filthy if you didn't regularly tend to it, but, thanks to your devotion, contributors are able to express themselves with their voice. We don't bludgeon people to agree with us. And I certainly could not author anything put forward by the Katz, Paddles (no longer here but .. bizarrely ..), JFo, ZEG, and so many .. I value your thoughts, and thank you for your contribution. Today is a watershed. 

Tomorrow is business as normal. I started two events between Bolt and Voice in order to allow the community to bond on a common cause. That was a minor success. In the future, I hope to do more, and hope to build on what we have. I hope to hold the Abbott government to its promises, although I largely expect them to honour them. I have my own agenda and I will begin prosecuting it more. I resigned as a teacher to speak out over the issue of a bungled pedophile investigation and the death of school child Hamidur Rahman in 2007. My issue has been covered up to date by senior ALP identities, all of which have moved on. Those responsible for the death of the child still work and the case has not been examined by police, although it well may be too late .. regardless, the child will still be dead. Some who have covered up the issue for the ALP by failing to help me when I asked for it, are still in parliament .. Jason Clare and Chris Hayes, I'm going to make your time in office uncomfortable until you do your sworn duty. 

In Moscow, the G20 is over. No action has been decided regarding Syria. Obama is dithering, but looking dangerous too.

Today's Old Testament reading: Psalm 148-150

1 Praise the LORD.

Praise the LORD from the heavens;
praise him in the heights above.
2 Praise him, all his angels;
praise him, all his heavenly hosts.
3 Praise him, sun and moon;
praise him, all you shining stars.
4 Praise him, you highest heavens
and you waters above the skies.
5 Let them praise the name of the LORD,
for at his command they were created,
6 and he established them for ever and ever-
he issued a decree that will never pass away....

Today's New Testament reading: 1 Corinthians 15:29-58

29 Now if there is no resurrection, what will those do who are baptized for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why are people baptized for them? 30 And as for us, why do we endanger ourselves every hour? 31 I face death every day-yes, just as surely as I boast about you in Christ Jesus our Lord. 32If I fought wild beasts in Ephesus with no more than human hopes, what have I gained? If the dead are not raised,
"Let us eat and drink,
for tomorrow we die."
33 Do not be misled: "Bad company corrupts good character."34 Come back to your senses as you ought, and stop sinning; for there are some who are ignorant of God-I say this to your shame....

Morning

"In the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world."
Philippians 2:15
We use lights to make manifest. A Christian man should so shine in his life, that a person could not live with him a week without knowing the gospel. His conversation should be such that all who are about him should clearly perceive whose he is, and whom he serves; and should see the image of Jesus reflected in his daily actions. Lights are intended for guidance. We are to help those around us who are in the dark. We are to hold forth to them the Word of life. We are to point sinners to the Saviour, and the weary to a divine resting-place. Men sometimes read their Bibles, and fail to understand them; we should be ready, like Philip, to instruct the inquirer in the meaning of God's Word, the way of salvation, and the life of godliness. Lights are also used for warning. On our rocks and shoals a light-house is sure to be erected. Christian men should know that there are many false lights shown everywhere in the world, and therefore the right light is needed. The wreckers of Satan are always abroad, tempting the ungodly to sin under the name of pleasure; they hoist the wrong light, be it ours to put up the true light upon every dangerous rock, to point out every sin, and tell what it leads to, that so we may be clear of the blood of all men, shining as lights in the world. Lights also have a very cheering influence, and so have Christians. A Christian ought to be a comforter, with kind words on his lips, and sympathy in his heart; he should carry sunshine wherever he goes, and diffuse happiness around him.
Gracious Spirit dwell with me;
I myself would gracious be,
And with words that help and heal
Would thy life in mine reveal,
And with actions bold and meek
Would for Christ my Saviour speak.

Evening

"If ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law."
Galatians 5:18

He who looks at his own character and position from a legal point of view, will not only despair when he comes to the end of his reckoning, but if he be a wise man he will despair at the beginning; for if we are to be judged on the footing of the law, there shall no flesh living be justified. How blessed to know that we dwell in the domains of grace and not of law! When thinking of my state before God the question is not, "Am I perfect in myself before the law?" but, "Am I perfect in Christ Jesus?" That is a very different matter. We need not enquire, "Am I without sin naturally?" but, "Have I been washed in the fountain opened for sin and for uncleanness?" It is not "Am I in myself well pleasing to God?" but it is "Am I accepted in the Beloved?" The Christian views his evidences from the top of Sinai, and grows alarmed concerning his salvation; it were better far if he read his title by the light of Calvary. "Why," saith he, "my faith has unbelief in it, it is not able to save me." Suppose he had considered the object of his faith instead of his faith, then he would have said, "There is no failure in him, and therefore I am safe." He sighs over his hope: "Ah! my hope is marred and dimmed by an anxious carefulness about present things; how can I be accepted?" Had he regarded the ground of his hope, he would have seen that the promise of God standeth sure, and that whatever our doubts may be, the oath and promise never fail. Ah! believer, it is safer always for you to be led of the Spirit into gospel liberty than to wear legal fetters. Judge yourself at what Christ is rather than at what you are. Satan will try to mar your peace by reminding you of your sinfulness and imperfections: you can only meet his accusations by faithfully adhering to the gospel and refusing to wear the yoke of bondage.

=== Bible Quote ===

=== Message ===

===

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)
