Wed 8th September 2021 Current Affairs

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 16

The Collection for the Lord’s People

Now about the collection for the Lord’s people: Do what I told the Galatian churches to do. On the first day of every week, each one of you should set aside a sum of money in keeping with your income, saving it up, so that when I come no collections will have to be made. Then, when I arrive, I will give letters of introduction to the men you approve and send them with your gift to Jerusalem. If it seems advisable for me to go also, they will accompany me.

Personal Requests

After I go through Macedonia, I will come to you—for I will be going through Macedonia. Perhaps I will stay with you for a while, or even spend the winter, so that you can help me on my journey, wherever I go. For I do not want to see you now and make only a passing visit; I hope to spend some time with you, if the Lord permits. But I will stay on at Ephesus until Pentecost, because a great door for effective work has opened to me, and there are many who oppose me.

When Timothy comes, see to it that he has nothing to fear while he is with you, for he is carrying on the work of the Lord, just as I am. No one, then, should treat him with contempt. Send him on his way in peace so that he may return to me. I am expecting him along with the brothers.

Now about our brother Apollos: I strongly urged him to go to you with the brothers. He was quite unwilling to go now, but he will go when he has the opportunity.

Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong. Do everything in love.

You know that the household of Stephanas were the first converts in Achaia, and they have devoted themselves to the service of the Lord’s people. I urge you, brothers and sisters, to submit to such people and to everyone who joins in the work and labors at it. I was glad when Stephanas, Fortunatus and Achaicus arrived, because they have supplied what was lacking from you. For they refreshed my spirit and yours also. Such men deserve recognition.

Final Greetings

The churches in the province of Asia send you greetings. Aquila and Priscilla greet you warmly in the Lord, and so does the church that meets at their house. All the brothers and sisters here send you greetings. Greet one another with a holy kiss.

I, Paul, write this greeting in my own hand.

If anyone does not love the Lord, let that person be cursed! Come, Lord!

The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you.

My love to all of you in Christ Jesus. Amen.

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. Gay marriage was brought into the UK by a conservative government. There have been insufficient protections for schools and churches, so activists have behaved badly and effectively. It was imposed on the population, just like the ALP and Get up! are campaigning to do. The issue is not love. It is not gay union, as civil unions already recognise gay couples. It is not recognition of married couples who are married overseas. They are already recognised. There are already churches that hold civil unions within their church buildings. The only reason for Gay marriage is related to a government over reach. Government wants to approve who gets married, but civil unions aside, it is not a government's business. Divorce is regulated, but can be handled through civil union provisions. Gay activists want to get churches who don't accept their lifestyle, and schools with a religious background, to raise children queer. And that is not for government to do, but parents. 

A climate fraudster is being jailed. Maybe when they are released, they can be hired by AGL? AGL seem bent on hiring climate activists, as they move from core business to bullying customers. 

Can Trump persuade NK not to suicide? 
=== from 2016 === 
 Years ago I stopped contributing to my local newspapers after both began publishing abusive letters in my name, but refused to publish my letters which weren't abusive, but which supported conservative values. I'm not a social conservative, I'm an economic one, believing in small government and limited spending. And when I spoke to the journalists they seethed with hatred for me. It looks like a part of the culture of the left. But I think it is smaller than that. The hypocrisy lies among the leadership of Journalists, in how they are inducted into service and trained. On their work pressures and pay masters.

The left have demonstrated time and again that lying about and lampooning an opponent is successful in limiting their success. Sarah Palin and Tony Abbott spring to mind. But Jeff Kennett, Campbell Newman and Barry O'Farrell also seem obvious candidates. They have also learned that one they support can be excused anything by diverted blame. So "Don't blame Islam for the actions of those radicals." The published letter was only a call for arms to those supporting jihadis, but to the left, it is an excuse note.

When Chinese cash rolled Howard in '07, China went too far. The ALP have long sought support from the communists. Connections were made by Whitlam. There is nothing new about Carr or Dastyari. Both bought and paid for. Allegedly, the Liberals also have similar. Probably among 55 bed wetters.

Fascinating that the Daily Mail extracted that headline from that conversation. It is too kind to call it a mistake. It is a misjudgement of Malcolm Farr proportions. Bolt was right to put the question and Coulter answered it well.

Turnbull's apparent indecisiveness must be personality driven. He keeps options open until well after the time they were viable. He does not temporise. He hesitates. He dithers. He fiddles. Apparently, Nikki likes that. She hates competent leadership. She hates compassion (Abbott and Aborigines). She hates strong women like Credln. If only Nikki had shared her decisiveness with Turnbull, and Turnbull had shared his hesitant direction with Nikki. In private.

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

Kathy Jackson has not been treated as a whistle blower by the trade union royal commission. She has apparently been loaded by trade union peoples who apparently covered up Thomson's offences. It will be good when #TURC is finished and corrupt trades union officials no longer steal from their unions. 

Coal has excellent properties that should be exploited. If anyone tells you different, they are probably paid by AGW hysterics to lie. 
From 2014
Nothing need happen to criticise a conservative government. Ashby had approached LNP people over an alleged sexual abuse involving the former Speaker Slipper. Slipper had had an LNP seat before becoming speaker so as to help secure a corrupt ALP government. Slipper was an ordained Catholic Priest, Traditionalist Anglican Minister and married, having been given the Priest authority through a vatican negotiated deal as a married Traditionalist Anglican Minister, but he was not considered stable by his LNP colleagues who had to tolerate a talentless member rather than a more active, but obstructive one. The corrupt ALP government stonewalled on the allegations until after they had lost government. Slipper did a deal with Ashby privately on the sex abuse issue, but was found corrupt on the abuse of parliamentary privilege issue. Now Ashby is alleging that LNP did not help him in a matter that might have appeared to have been corrupt had they done so. He approached the youngest LNP member and got a referral to Pyne. He claims promises were made. They weren't stupid, but Channel nine sixty minutes is. Meanwhile, it is easy to criticise NSW Premier Baird over comments he would negotiate with Islamic leaders over the auction of an ISIS flag issue. That is exactly what Baird should do. He shouldn't limit basic freedoms so as to kowtow to terrorism. But the Islamic leaders have apparently identified with terrorism and are bringing Islam into disrepute because of it. Baird has to point out to them the direction that is upwards, which the Islamic community deserves.

ICAC are investigating Liberals in NSW but so far have only been able to smear them, not find corruption leading to a conviction. Obeid has apparently been given a free pass on a half billion dollar misappropriation, but the ICAC seem to feel they have something big against the PM's chief of staff involving emails. The emails were cleared of parliamentary privilege and show that the chief of staff of the PM has done nothing wrong. ICAC will continue probing. How the hell can someone steal half a billion dollars and not go to jail? What about those who gave the corrupt one keys to the bank? Is there no corrupt finding for them? What about paying it back? Meanwhile the ABC news at 7pm opens with the extraordinary and wrong claim that Mr Abbot's chief of staff has been caught out by email accepting banned donations. They assert it, they should prove it or apologise. Another extraordinary act of irony is the museum purchasing an 'asylum seeker' wreck for their museum. The bad, murderous ALP policy to be memorialised in culture, a museum director hopes for a hundred years time. But no analysis on a cultural level of the death and waste. Who is to be paid for the wreck? Hopefully not the people smugglers.

When it comes to international issues Obama is world class in being incompetent. But not because there aren't good people willing to advise him on issues. Obama's inability to see straight on Israel can only be because he wilfully fails. Looking at MH17, and again Obama has failed to observe the role of Ukraine in fighting, in the shooting down of the aircraft and the prevention of acquisition of bodies or evidence and breaking their own declared cease fire. Clearly Russia has to answer questions, but Ukraine has hard ones too, and Obama has failed to ask them. The injustice of the justice system is exposed with several cases. A verdict is expected soon regarding Oscar Pistorius. Anything less than a murder conviction would be very unfair. But the case so far has threatened that, with blame being placed on the investigating officer for mishandling evidence, but how much is required? We know who pulled the trigger. We know when. We know how. We have considerable insight as to why. We have seen Pistorius lie and obfuscate and be sick. A pathetic female using abuser in Tostee is claiming he is not guilty over the death of a young woman he had invited into his high rise apartment for sex. He seems to be claiming she jumped for no reason. He also seems to be claiming he is autistic. He is asking to be charged with a lesser charge of manslaughter. In fact, he is amoral. Sarah Monahan has survived pedophile abuse and is now campaigning to out other tv industry pedophiles. May she be successful. 

It is the New Harvest Moon, and Cabramatta was loudly, joyfully celebrating. Have some Moon Cake. DNA has determined an insane Polish suspect was Jack the Ripper. A compelling case was made by a writer for an artist a few years back, turns out that artist was merely creepy. Plastic surgery is a new tourist lure, with Australians finding it cheaper to fly overseas and have surgery than to have it locally.
From 2013
 The difference between the new PM and the old PM by their own words
Abbott’s biographers will find that, despite his degrees in law and economics, his years at Oxford on a Rhodes scholarship, and his years in a seminary, he has never aspired to be anything other than decent.
When he made his maiden speech to Parliament on May 31, 1994, Abbott began: “On the corner of Castlereagh and Hunter streets in Sydney stands a monument to mark the site of the first Christian service in Australia. The preacher, the Reverend Richard Johnson, took as his text: ‘’What shall I render unto the Lord for all his benefits towards me?
“It is just a small stone obelisk hardly noticed by the thousands of passers-by and dwarfed by skyscrapers, yet its message of faith and hope is fundamental to our nation’s success and the key to Australia’s future.
“The congregation at that first service was poorer, sicker, and less trained than any conceivable group of modern Australians, yet there was nothing small about what they were to achieve. Our challenge, 200 years later, is to have hearts that are just as big. So at this opening of my time in parliament, I place on record my deep conviction that, nourished by the past and inspired by our great ideals, there is no limit to what Australia can achieve. Also, I want to record my deep conviction that our Australian story should fill our hearts with pride and our eyes with tears.
“It is a story of the dispossessed and the outcast, redeemed through the innate goodness of humanity - a society challenged by nature, tested by war, enlarged by other cultures and blessed by such peace, prosperity and tolerance that we are now the envy of the Earth.”
When Rudd made his maiden speech four years later, on November 11, 1998, he said bluntly: “Politics is about power.”
Abbott will have to negotiate a hostile small party senate. But he can do that. Abbott was gracious in his acceptance speech, and humble. Rudd was defiant and brittle. Rudd was apparently defending his reputation relative to Gillard. It is to be hoped both Rudd and Gillard serve jail time for their corruption.  It is disturbing that the ALP have retained many seats from senior, bad performers. People who lied about bad policy. Expect Jason Clare to become the next leader, or the next following. He isn't any good. But he is younger.

Today's reading: Proverbs 1-2, 1 Corinthians 16 (NIV)

View today's reading on Bible Gateway

Today's Old Testament reading: Proverbs 1-2

Purpose and Theme
1 The proverbs of Solomon son of David, king of Israel:

2 for gaining wisdom and instruction;
for understanding words of insight;
3 for receiving instruction in prudent behavior,
doing what is right and just and fair;
4 for giving prudence to those who are simple,
knowledge and discretion to the young-
5 let the wise listen and add to their learning,
and let the discerning get guidance-
6 for understanding proverbs and parables,
the sayings and riddles of the wise.

Today's New Testament reading: 1 Corinthians 16

The Collection for the Lord's People
1 Now about the collection for the Lord's people: Do what I told the Galatian churches to do. 2 On the first day of every week, each one of you should set aside a sum of money in keeping with your income, saving it up, so that when I come no collections will have to be made. 3 Then, when I arrive, I will give letters of introduction to the men you approve and send them with your gift to Jerusalem. 4 If it seems advisable for me to go also, they will accompany me.
Personal Requests
5 After I go through Macedonia, I will come to you-for I will be going through Macedonia. 6 Perhaps I will stay with you for a while, or even spend the winter, so that you can help me on my journey, wherever I go. 7 For I do not want to see you now and make only a passing visit; I hope to spend some time with you, if the Lord permits. 8 But I will stay on at Ephesus until Pentecost, 9 because a great door for effective work has opened to me, and there are many who oppose me....

Morning

"And when they could not come nigh unto him for the press, they uncovered the roof where he was: and when they had broken it up, they let down the bed wherein the sick of the palsy lay."
Mark 2:4
Faith is full of inventions. The house was full, a crowd blocked up the door, but faith found a way of getting at the Lord and placing the palsied man before him. If we cannot get sinners where Jesus is by ordinary methods we must use extraordinary ones. It seems, according to Luke 5:19, that a tiling had to be removed, which would make dust and cause a measure of danger to those below, but where the case is very urgent we must not mind running some risks and shocking some proprieties. Jesus was there to heal, and therefore fall what might, faith ventured all so that her poor paralysed charge might have his sins forgiven. O that we had more daring faith among us! Cannot we, dear reader, seek it this morning for ourselves and for our fellow-workers, and will we not try today to perform some gallant act for the love of souls and the glory of the Lord.
The world is constantly inventing; genius serves all the purposes of human desire: cannot faith invent too, and reach by some new means the outcasts who lie perishing around us? It was the presence of Jesus which excited victorious courage in the four bearers of the palsied man: is not the Lord among us now? Have we seen his face for ourselves this morning? Have we felt his healing power in our own souls? If so, then through door, through window, or through roof, let us, breaking through all impediments, labour to bring poor souls to Jesus. All means are good and decorous when faith and love are truly set on winning souls. If hunger for bread can break through stone walls, surely hunger for souls is not to be hindered in its efforts. O Lord, make us quick to suggest methods of reaching thy poor sin-sick ones, and bold to carry them out at all hazards.

Evening

"There is sorrow on the sea; it cannot be quiet."
Jeremiah 49:23

Little know we what sorrow may be upon the sea at this moment. We are safe in our quiet chamber, but far away on the salt sea the hurricane may be cruelly seeking for the lives of men. Hear how the death fiends howl among the cordage; how every timber starts as the waves beat like battering rams upon the vessel! God help you, poor drenched and wearied ones! My prayer goes up to the great Lord of sea and land, that he will make the storm a calm, and bring you to your desired haven! Nor ought I to offer prayer alone, I should try to benefit those hardy men who risk their lives so constantly. Have I ever done anything for them? What can I do? How often does the boisterous sea swallow up the mariner! Thousands of corpses lie where pearls lie deep. There is death-sorrow on the sea, which is echoed in the long wail of widows and orphans. The salt of the sea is in many eyes of mothers and wives. Remorseless billows, ye have devoured the love of women, and the stay of households. What a resurrection shall there be from the caverns of the deep when the sea gives up her dead! Till then there will be sorrow on the sea. As if in sympathy with the woes of earth, the sea is forever fretting along a thousand shores, wailing with a sorrowful cry like her own birds, booming with a hollow crash of unrest, raving with uproarious discontent, chafing with hoarse wrath, or jangling with the voices of ten thousand murmuring pebbles. The roar of the sea may be joyous to a rejoicing spirit, but to the son of sorrow the wide, wide ocean is even more forlorn than the wide, wide world. This is not our rest, and the restless billows tell us so. There is a land where there is no more sea--our faces are steadfastly set towards it; we are going to the place of which the Lord hath spoken. Till then, we cast our sorrows on the Lord who trod the sea of old, and who maketh a way for his people through the depths thereof.

=== 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)
