My name is David Daniel Ball and I am Voice DDB dot locals dot com a voice of freedom supporting freedom around the world for all peoples. I write on historical and current affairs. I look for the conservative voice where mainstream media eschews it. Around the world media espouses liberalism orthodoxy and proclaims a history of liberalism that never happened. Liberalism of today is based on repeated lies that have been accepted from the past.
Consider these recent truths
Disgraced former FBI chief has been gifted money. Former acting Director off the FBI, Andrew McCabe has been given special benefits despite corruption at the FBI. He had been fired in 2018 after tanking an investigation into Hillary Clinton after his wife had been paid by Clinton. McCabe's reward for failure of duty may be a million dollars
Exemplary marine officer convicted of trumped up charges following whistle blowing. He has pled guilty on a plea deal to charges. Lt Colonel Stuart Scheller has been fined and given a letter of reprimand after correctly calling out senior administration over the Afghan withdrawal debacle. Scheller loses his career over the injustice.
A fourteen year old boy who was declared to be dead from COVID was killed by brain cancer? The precise truth of this is unknown, because although we know a newspaper headline promoted a lie told by authorities that the boy died from COVID when he did not, they now assert there is privacy when there was not. Consider that Facebook, the media and Twitter keep the fake news while persecuting those telling the truth as it becomes known.
We are being lied to. But not by everyone. Our nations and their justice machinery are not broken, but damaged. Things are bad, but they are supposed to be bad, rather than merely breaking. We can't give up. We must reject the liars, and remove them from public office, and prosecute them lawfully. Things can get better, but we must persevere or risk losing hope. We must not fight the Devil by playing the Devil's game. Rather we must resist the Devil by being free. There is no law against doing what is right. Their utter depravity kills us. They target us and they seek to restrain us. But while the greatest among us a hundred years ago has died, their legacy has not. That which we are, we are. Lockdowns were ineffective in dealing with COVID. Effective medication has been denied whole populations. Herd immunity will prevail. Fraud deleteriously affected recent elections around the world. But, Democracy will prevail. Our oppressors will pass. For us to win, we must assert our freedoms. For us to lose, we must willingly surrender our freedoms forever. Our children will have to pay back our debt. We must sacrifice now so that they can. That means telling truth to power. That means pointing up when when some get confused and lose their way. Stand by the one who sacrificed their pension and freedoms to speak out. Prosecute the ones forgiven by a debauched and self interested administration. Vote for those who help you exercise your freedom. Don't wait for free speech. Exercise free speech.

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.

Don't give up on hope. The NZ PM is no less accomplished than Canada's or France's PM. Piers Akerman notes her charm is equivalent as a fart joke. Arden claims that NZ capitalism is a failure. The previous government had delivered 4.8% unemployment, a debt level of 2.8% of the economy, and growth of 3%. Arden declared that it was intolerable that 'hundreds of thousands of NZ children live in homes without enough to survive.' Does Arden intend to adopt Venezuelan policy and evict those children? Maybe Arden intends to follow the example of WHO health ambassador Robert Mugabe? After all, genocide and ethnic cleansing do show a level of commitment that democracies struggle to achieve normally.
A meme is circulating of Hillary defending a rapist in 1975, by claiming that a 12 yo child rape fantasised older men. Seven years later, Hillary laughed discussing the case. The 44 year old had not served time for rape, but pled guilty to a lesser charge. Snopes and other fact check sites which defend Democrats, quibbles with the facts, but substantiates them.
Trump is intending to release redacted information about JFK's assassination. Lee Harvey Oswald fired full metal jacket bullets. The kill shot was a dum dum. In all likelihood, the event was a secret service accident in response to Oswald's shooting. And so the deaths of Oswald and Ruby were likely a monstrous cover up protecting senior Democrats.
The World Series will feature a face off between Los Angeles Dodgers and Houston's Astros. I'll support a team close to Bush, and oppose a team close to Pelosi. I'm like that.

The local council election is over, and results won't be finalised for some time. In Greater Dandenong, Red Gum ward, I placed on first preferences 11 out of 11. With 1.6% of first preferences, I got 143 votes with 32% counted. I am proud and pleased with that. I expect the make up of those votes is from New Life church and my friends from the ward. One friend begged me to print things and letter drop, but I refused. Had I done so, I would have got more votes, but I would not have been elected. To be elected I would have needed a coherent platform (I think I achieved that) but also exposure which I could not get. I contacted 3AW several times and could not get on. I gave several columns to news papers who would not run them. I created a column for candidates, none of whom replied. Neither Andrew Bolt nor the IPA nor Liberal Party officially recognised my effort. I was the sole conservative candidate (unaligned) and placed last on every other candidate's preference. The candidate I placed 2nd, placed me 9th of 11th, but with three positions in the offing, that is equal to last. The three sitting candidates seem to be re elected, but none have achieved a third of the vote.
But I had not run to get elected, although I would have liked to and had a plan had that happened. I ran to create a profile so that next time there would be a support base. I am new to Melbourne and Greater Dandenong. But it is my home. I'm not walking away. I thank everyone who supported me, and I promise them that change can be made, and I will still put forward the issues they hold dear. Less business red tape so business can profit. More youth employment to lessen crime rates. Better planning so that homes have access to public transport routes and internet is accessible and places of worship are available. Don't accept the lie that there is over developed spaces without finding out where and how they are over developed. Finally, cheaper garbage collection or an explanation of why the ridiculous inefficient recycling is currently employed.

ALP insurance has many benefits, but is terrible to lose. It is costly to maintain, but one basically must sell their soul to maintain it. But afterwards, paid up members can live in the luxury that hardened masters of organised crime enjoy. A police chief who used to act as an unofficial police minister for the ALP can still say anything to the press and be believed. Like saying that a Hizb Ut Tahrir's call for evil jews to be killed is not actionable under NSW anti vilification laws. But what if Andrew Bolt had said it? Bolt has not got ALP insurance cover. One paid up member stole member funds from a union and entered Australia's parliament and lied to it. But that was ok. Another union leader from the same union blew the whistle on the insured member, and has been denounced as a criminal. Their partner took time of work to help the denounced former leader and is now being denounced by media. Bill Heffernan has announced under parliamentary privilege that an ALP insured PM has been denounced as a pedophile. Press are showing extraordinary restraint in examining the bona fides of the claims. The press showed the same restraint when they failed to note an asylum seeker who didn't want an abortion wasn't in sync with advocates who 'knew better.' ALP insurance has so far allowed a partisan judiciary and public service run amok and lie in support of the ALP.

Choices they make
One does not need to agree with everything that Caroline Glick writes, but her arguments are compelling. Obama is not stupid, but a virtuoso manager, she writes. But procedure and management do not make a good President or even a good manager. The examples show someone who is bigoted, obstructive and very nasty. Keep in mind that critics are quick to claim Obama is inept. His inability to reign in spending, his inability to address social issues in a Presidential, fair, manner, his poor policies that exacerbate inequity all suggest a poor manager, or something worse.
But when one examines Whitehouse activity one sees a different side. Glick gives two examples, the first being obstructing the Israel Defence Force in finding their soldier taken hostage and killed by Hamas. It would not have been hard or controversial for the US to allow the FBI to give information to Israel to allow them to save the captive, but the Whitehouse put in place managerial blocks. It was later revealed the soldier was dead and Hamas still have the remains and have accessed the soldier's FaceBook account. Secondly, there was an unofficial arms embargo placed on Israel as Hamas was escalating rocket attacks and Israel launched a short defensive insurgence to remove weapons and tunnels for Hamas. The embargo did not deny Israel supplies, but delayed them so that Israel did not have them. Compare that bureaucratic obstruction with the decision of Obama to allow Iran sufficient centrifuges to produce an atomic bomb within a year. These decisions are not the product of a mind devoid of organisation. They are purposeful, wrong and treasonous.
Another highly lauded person has died at a great age. Ben Bradlee was 93 years old, born in 1921, he served in WW2 before becoming a journalist. His time as editor for the Washington post saw the printing of the Pentagon Papers and the Watergate story. He was aware of the identity of Felt who was Deep Throat, and wold have been aware of the conflict of interest for Felt which made the witch hunt into Nixon a travesty of justice. It is ok for a journalist to be biased, but they should be honest about it and Ben never was.
In Andrew McMicking's defence, he probably thought he was being jocular, before then deciding he had better temporarily lose his phone. His twitter account had a now deleted posting to someone that 'now their son was dead he had been a grub who deserved it.' McMicking is ALP. Had he been conservative there would be outrage from a lot of silent people who right now must be suspected of approving the depravity.
ALP vs LNP
Albrechtsen contrasts Plibersek and Bishop, noting ALP Plibersek has jumped on empty symbolic bandwagons calling out 'misogyny' and making empty claims for political purposes. Meanwhile Bishop quietly and effectively executes difficult political manoeuvres.
Scott Morrison personally intervenes on migrants by denying a visa, and any possible appeal, on security grounds. Remembering Gough by his achievements and the press are blinded by love. Hate media mourns the death of Whitlam. Miranda Devine, Greg Sheridan and Andrew Bolt separately reveal some of the appalling abuses of Whitlam long forgiven by his hagiographers.
Isolated issues
Pistorius is in jail for an inadequate set time of five years maximum. Possibly less than a year. His sentence is based on the erroneous finding he had not the intent to kill his girlfriend. Steenkamp's family have accepted the verdict, but the prosecutor has a few weeks with which they may lodge an appeal. One suspects Pistorius' sentence would have been longer had he actually shot an intruder and not his brilliant, talented girlfriend. South Africa with Pistorius and without Steenkamp is a much poorer, darker place.
Genius scientist Stephen Hawking has set up a trap with which he claims he can catch a time traveller. Typical of Hawking's thinking there are holes. The idea is to invite the time traveller after the event. If time travel is possible, then we should see them, or tourists. But we don't. The assumption being that they wish to be seen and look familiar. Another assumption is that the intent of wanting a time traveller to appear and the message they should is one and the same. However we all see time travellers all the time .. they just happen to be travelling with us at the same rate.
Royal commission into institutionalised responses to pedophilia has heard a harrowing account of how police returned the victim to abusers on numerous occasions. It sounds familiar. Some children are abused without being raped and have similar stories. The betrayal of a child is never acceptable and turning away is never a good thing, but how does a good person intervene? As the stolen generation myth shows, good intentions can harm everyone, including the child.

Games people play
Giants win first WSB game 7 to 1. San Francisco got three runs in the first innings, and had compiled five before the fifth innings, taking out the Kansas City starting pitcher at a seventy pitch count by the end of the fourth innings. The game was lost early and the second, with a new set of starter pitchers will characterise the series. Kansas City need to tie it up or give a very challenging lead away.

Amazingly, a US based AGW alarmist is able to pinpoint the cause of fires in Australia without visiting. She was wrong, however, as the proximate cause of many of them seems to be bored children. But maybe she was right, and the nearing end of the world is causing our bored children to act out. Or something. Bolt makes the discovery one unexplored cure for bushfires would be for the ABC to give up half its' budget. Axing news and current affairs and replaying old episodes would not make much difference for the audience who would love to re-experience the joy of the dismissal.
Mike Carlton could put on some funny voices, but it is not certain if he can be normal or competent as a news reader. But it might be fun to hear Carlton on the Incompetent Penis who inexplicably is not as popular as surveys suggest. More boat success as 240 people are retained in Indonesia, having given much to pirates to be detained in Indonesia.
Bush fires are serious, but the PM is condemned for fighting some, when a previous PM was lauded for watching DVDs. Where are Gillard's dragons? According to the ABC, the fires are unprecedented. Having watched the Princess Bride, I am reminded of the observation "I do not feel that word means what you think it does." Or maybe the ABC is wrong? Inconceivable!
Members of a certain faith have bombed a bus. Yet it is clowns which frighten an unknown Briton, causing a circus to be banned from touring her local town until they can produce advertising without clowns. But what if they do, and she goes to that circus .. and clowns are there? The local council had better shut down, just to be safe.
Palmer seems very lucky. Or corrupt.
Murdoch has been blamed for much recently, with the left calling for censorship of the press. But I've observed something different. Murdoch does not seem to have censored anything I'm aware of (Maybe he is that good?) but Today Tonight, and the two local papers Fairfield Advance and Fairfield Champion have contained the newsworthy stories I have brought to their attention. They have never given me a reason. However, I have heard from 2GB and from Bankstown paper journalists that I would be very surprised if I ever found out who was responsible (2GB) and that journalists talk to each other (Bankstown paper) wtf does that mean? Singleton? My hands are clean and I have approached the police and run for parliament twice .. even though the papers have never reported on my issue and have denied voters their constitutional right to be informed who they are voting for.
