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. According to a medieval scholar, Ussher, the universe was created on this day, which is the Autumnal equinox in 4004 BC. His calculations were as precise as the guy who predicted the end of the world on September 23rd and October 16th. It takes very little faith to call the world flat or young. It takes very little faith to say science is right. Faith is not about science, which, when it is built on science, and not AGW theology, describes physical truths about the world we see. The Bible is not a physics text book. The Bible does not construct rockets which can take people to Mars. The Bible does accurately position the relationship Mankind has with God. And that truth is obvious to people of faith.
In 44 BC, the wars of the Second Triumvirate of Octavian and Antony defeated finally Brutus and Cassius. Brutus suicided on this day before losing everything. His stand was at Philippi, where he and Cassius had fled after assassinating Julius Caesar.
Moral majesty is expressed as Victoria embraces euthanasia. Elsewhere in the world, an alcoholic is euthanised so they didn't suicide. Mission successful. In another case, relatives held down a woman who was struggling against a surgeon who injected toxins to kill her. It is not just euthanasia, lots of government policy is bad. Australia has a weaker military than NK, but is spending significantly to give soldiers gender options. One house in Tasmania costs $91k to hook the NBN up to it. Malcolm Turnbull admits the awful system might never make money. NBN might be a $50 billion black hole in the budget. Welfare in Australia cost $300k a minute. It takes a million low paid workers everything to cover it.

Donald Trump's speech at Gettysburg is frightening media. They have supported and protected insider corruption for a long time. Trump will clean up the festering wound, and make America great again.
=== from 2015 ===
Forty years ago, Australia had two PMs. Malcolm Fraser and Gough Whitlam. A 45 yo woman is alleging she was raped by three former PMs 40 years ago. They might not have been PM at that time. The Royal Commission into institutional response to pedophilia apparently does not feel it fits into the scope of their investigation. Reasonable people might disagree, but the problem with the ALP having a partisan public service and judiciary in their favour, is that reasonable responses can't be assumed. ALP insurance covers the abusers, not the abused.

Actor Josh Thomas vs MP Wyatt Roy
Actors are not noted for their great thoughts in the political world. Many supported Nazism in the thirties, Many supported communism and still do. Actor Josh Thomas is not an idiot, but he is very foolish and his rhetoric is placed in Gay Activism which has a legitimate voice, but is wrong when it embraces Green activism which has nothing to do with the environment. Wyatt had posted that it was wonderful that the new immigration policy meant people did not drown, as over 1300 had under the previous ALP policy. Josh picked up on a lie that claimed that children were being raped in detention. That has happened in the past, infamously Rudd tore up evidence of such, involving the gang rape of a teenage Aboriginal girl in the late '80s, now called the Heiner Affair. There is no evidence or even claim that such is happening now. However, Josh may have evidence? Josh also referred to a red herring of secrecy involving illegal migrants. However, that is not strictly speaking what is happening. The government is not trumpeting results so as to steal from people smugglers a sales pitch. It is very effective. Detained people are not abused, but are processed according to UN rules and Australian standards, which are higher than the UN's. Josh should apologise to Wyatt, but one suspects he enjoys notoriety from parroting his green, communist heroes.
In defence of Barry Spurr
A former chinese student of the Professor has written movingly of her experience of his lectures. He has been censured by Sydney University following the theft of his private emails and their publication without his explanation. He has never publicly uttered them and the magazine that published them has some hard questions it should answer. But then, so does the Ukraine over MH17, and that will never happen.
Student who broke the privacy of Abbott's daughter sentenced
The student used the same magazine as denounced Spurr to denounce Mr Abbott's daughter in obtaining a scholarship on merit. The student was supposed to be sentenced today, but that has been delayed a month. The student has apologised for their crime. The magazine has not. Newman's defence claimed she was too immature to know that her crime was wrong. New Matilda might use that same excuse?
Canada's Parliament.
Gun battle inside Canada's parliament as ISIL further attempts to bring terror to the west and force a change of lifestyle. It is reminiscent of other opportunist attacks. The suicidal aspect is probably supposed to raise it in the public consciousness, but it looks badly planned instead. Good people are dying and each attack lessens the value of ISIL terrorists everywhere. Mr Abbott declared Mr Harper was like a brother and the Australian parliament would stand shoulder to shoulder with Canada's parliament.
Many fair people feel Whitlam lost government through gross incompetence. Rudd blames a "Massive Conservative Fuselage."An 18yo school girl says she has studied the issue and appreciated Whitlam giving women the vote. It is probably fair to say that Whitlam went too far in the public mind when he tried to make a horse senator and then ate the foetus of his love child he ripped from his sister's dead body. Others say that the hagiography of Whitlam unfairly neglect criticism and inflate achievements.
Michael Mann illustrates what he has been accused of. He is think skinned when he is faced with criticism of his work. He is sloppy and inaccurate and occasionally wildly parochial. He is not responsible and his work as a scientist discredits not only him but others who call themselves scientists.
The Royals have levelled the series after a sixth innings blow out on starter pitcher Peavey for the Giants. Maybe the Royals will keep momentum? Or will the Giants stand up?
As a social justice kitten has attributed to them "I drink your tears, oppressor"

From 2013
A corrupt anti semitic bigot steps away from opposition senate duty. Bob Carr was highly lauded as an opposition leader when he trawled for turds off Bondi Beach. But the one trick pony just wants his former Premier pension and assets. And with all his time in office, it is impossible to point to anything worthwhile he did. The press will be kind, referring to his status as a dart board figurine. He will be missed.
ALP were upset the military did not toe the party line while they were in government. Bad decisions meant many soldiers were killed on duty. To punish the military, ALP leaked and inflated scandals. It is terrible to hear of young people having sex. Where crimes have taken place, the army is equipped to handle them. Sadly that doesn't help the ALP ..
A former journalist, but current ALP member in South Australia wants censorship. Mia Freedman is prone to saying dumb things, but not everything she posts is bad. Censorship also works when people stop listening. Mr Howard is Australia's greatest PM to date. Something journalists try to obscure as they barack for ALP.
AGW extremism burns a billion dollars a day. Reminding me of an old Jud Strunk number "I'll burn you a billion a day dear .."

Russia has migration issues related to terrorism. Something Australia has to think about as a culture of feral peoples .. not solely one religion .. behave appallingly badly. A parent copies their bush fire starting child's delivery of the bird.
