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
A year ago today, FB dumped their God Emperor Trump account, claiming the 5 yo account had been merely created to overcome FB censorship. The obvious reality being that the partisan outfit of FB was (illegally?) campaigning for Democrats. FB protects pedophiles and terrorists, but attacks conservatives? Did Zuckerberg learn from what happened to Epstein? It is dangerous to have a posture when the wind changes.
The incompetence of Joe Biden mirrors the past. Gough Whitlam
I dispute that Gough was the worst ever Australian PM at the time of his death. His abysmal foreign policy is still felt around the world, his debt crisis is still unbalancing the Australian economy and his bad 'reform' of ALP has kept it in the nineteenth century and prevented good people from achieving anything, but Rudd, then Gillard were worse. It is worth listing Gough's achievements. Gough distrusted the US who were allies, and embraced Communist China before Nixon went to negotiate freedoms. He ended conscription and pulled Australia out of Vietnam sooner than high command had planned. That meant when US pulled out in '75 that lots of weapons were left behind that were dangerous for the communist world to have. The threat that Communist Vietnam would sell those weapons to Timor's communist rebels meant Gough gave the nod to Indonesia to invade to prevent those communist Timor rebels from buying and using those weapons. The Timor invasion by Indonesia resulted in the apparently planned deaths of Australian journalists at Balibo by Indonesian special forces, some of whom vie for Indonesian politics today. Gough distrusted Southern Vietnamese who had been supported by the US and spurned their pleas for help. Because of his disastrous spending, Gough needed lots of money and sought to embroil Australia with Iraq. Gough had become leader of a disunited infighting ALP and he took steps to reform it by aligning it more closely with unions and producing the model that cannot be reformed now without disentangling from corrupt union leadership. In Australia, Gough spent unsustainably, and made reckless promises. He promised free education and made it harder for better students to study at university, ultimately making it more expensive for everyone. He promised fair access to health care but delivered a faulty product that needed to be reformed. He politicised the High Court and Governor General's position and created the family court which even today is highly criticised for poor decision making. Gough cared little for those he was responsible for and complained when his holidays were interrupted for disasters, like Cyclone Tracy and the Melbourne floods. Gough was the champion of empty symbolism and claimed to do things he hadn't done, like ending the White Australia Policy. He divided Australia on racial lines by creating a body which has failed to address needs of Aboriginals adequately. Gough felt betrayed by the governor general he appointed and he ruined the man who served faithfully, John Kerr. Gough was patron to notable ALP failures in Keating, Gillard and Clare. He was a charming man who could joke about his megalomania in a pasta advert. On the plus side, he got rid of McMahon as Liberal chief. But he ruined that with Fraser.
We are not lost, despite what we are told by elite. Consider Margaret Thatcher
It was the radical Socialist writer and patriot, the late George Orwell, who described the left-wing intellectuals as men motivated primarily by hatred of their own country.
Socialists who spoke most about brotherhood of man [sic] could not bear their fellow-Englishmen, he complained. Their well-orchestrated sneers from their strong point in the educational system and media have weakened the national will to transmit to future generations those values, standards and aspirations which made England admired the world over.
It is just because their message is that self-discipline is out of date and that the poor cannot be expected to help themselves, that they want the state to do more. That is why they believe in state ownership and control of economic life, education, health.
Their wish to end parental choice in where and how their children shall be educated, in spending their money on better education and health for their children instead of on a new car, leisure, pleasure, is all part of the attempt to diminish self and self-discipline and real freedoms in favour of the state, ruled by socialists, the new class, as one disillusioned communist leader called them.

Speech at Edgbaston (“our human stock is threatened”).
We are not lost, despite what we are told by elite. Consider Trafalgar
To set the scene in 1805, England's greatest sailor was facing near certain death and humiliation off the Spanish coast on the morning. He had a desperate plan that had never worked successfully before. He was faced with a larger force of a combined fleet of Spanish and French fleet, under the command of Pierre-Charles Villeneuve for France and Federico Gravina for Spain. Nelson had 27 ships of the line to 33. Classically, the ships would form in two lines and shoot at each other with broadsides until the fleet with less guns and ships was annihilated or surrendered. But Napoleon had had plans to march his grand army into Britain and if Napoleon's fleet was free, her massive army would easily take London. So Nelson was faced with a battle he couldn't surrender or lose, but couldn't win through conventional means. So Nelson's plan addressed it by promoting the superiority of British ships on one to one combat. Britain had had better ships thanks to her guns having triggers instead of lit wicks for firing, better trained men and copper lined bottoms to her ships. Nelson's desperate plan was to sail his ships directly towards the enemy line in two lines at a right angle. He knew the front two British ships would have to weather about thirty minutes of direct fire from the enemy line, but when the closed, he would be able to fight ship to ship with the centre and vanguard of enemy ships, while the enemy ships in the top of the line would have to turn around and re engage. Nelson had two lines because when the tactic had been applied in the past, the concentrated fire on one ship had sunk it and every subsequent one. Two lines, he calculated, would diminish the damage taken to either. Nelson led one line, Cuthbert Collingwood another. Nelson wanted to tell his men he was confiding in them, and he knew they would do their best. But the flag signal man told him he could transmit the message more easily if he substituted a few words. The message, approved by Nelson, is recorded in history and stirring. Instead of Admiral Nelson, the word used was England. Instead of confides, the word used was expects. The message had become "England expects every man will do their duty."
In battle, the forecastle of Victory (Nelson's ship) had lines of marines. Some six were picked off before he gave instructions that they could break ranks and seek cover. Nelson's secretary was adjacent to him when a cannonball knocked his head in, splashing his brains onto Nelson, who remarked he didn't like the taste and regretted that the secretary would not experience victory. Nelson stood with full assignations on his uniform, including a stunning diamond. Smoke obscured the scene as Victory closed with Redoubtable and a sniper shot from Redoubtable's Mast Nest mortally wounded Nelson. Captain Hardy was on hand, and carried Nelson below deck to see the surgeon. Hardy could have been charged with negligence for deserting his post later. Nelson took some five hours to die. Near death, Hardy returned to report success. Nelson thanked God he had done his duty. Britain had not lost a ship, but captured 21 ships and destroyed another. Napoleon would march his Grand Armee on Moscow later. As a result, England would rule the waves around the world until WW2.
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.

Ep. 1378 The Media and the Left is Missing This, Again - The Dan Bongino ShowIn this episode, I discuss this disastrous Joe Biden television interview and the fallout afterward. I also address the massive political realignment happening as a result of the Trump presidency.

Amy Coney Barrett sworn in as Supreme Court justice at White HouseBarrett's confirmation solidified a conservative majority on the high court
The Supreme Court said in a press release that Barrett will be able to start her new role after Chief Justice John Roberts administers her judicial oath on Tuesday. Justice Clarence Thomas administered the constitutional oath at Monday's ceremony.
‘Darkest US Day’: Amy Coney Barrett appointed in big win for Trump
Donald Trump’s nominee Amy Coney Barrett has been confirmed to the Supreme Court, in “one of the darkest days in the 231-year history” of the US Senate.
Following her death, the family of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg revealed that her dying wish was that she not be replaced before the election.
“My most fervent wish is that I will not be replaced until a new president is installed,” the 87-year-old told her granddaughter, according to NPR, days before she lost her battle with cancer in September.
It’s a wish that, just a week out from election day, US President Donald Trump has steamrolled: his nominee, conservative judge Amy Coney Barrett, was confirmed to the Supreme Court by the Senate today, voted through by a 52-48 Republican majority. Susan Collins of Maine was the only Republican senator to side with the Democrats in opposing Judge Barrett’s confirmation.
“It is highly fitting that Judge Amy Coney Barrett fills the seat of a true pioneer for women, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg,” Mr Trump said following the vote, adding it was “very important” because she’s “the very first mother of school-aged children to become a Supreme Court justice”.
Judge Barrett’s confirmation will not only go down in history as one of the quickest – taking place 30 days after her nomination and seven days before the presidential election – but also, Democratic senator of New York and Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said, “one of the darkest days in the 231-year history of the United States Senate”.
“Let the records show that tonight the Republican Senate Majority decided to thwart the will of the people and confirm a lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court in the middle of a presidential election after more than 60 million Americans have voted,” he said.
“Let the record show that tonight the Republican Majority will break 231 years of precedent and become the first majority to confirm a Supreme Court justice this close to Election Day.
“And let the record show that tonight the Republican Majority will make a mockery of its own stated principle, that the American people deserve a voice in the selection of Supreme Court justices, completing the partisan theft of two seats on the Supreme Court using completely contradictory rationales.

Rove breaks down Trump's 'path to victory' through Michigan, Pennsylvania, WisconsinTrump won all three states by fewer than one percentage point in 2016
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/rove-trump-path-victory-michigan-pennsylvania-wisconsin
"I know from polls that I'm looking at in Arizona, private polls in Arizona [and] North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, that the numbers are tightening," Rove told "The Story."
"Think about it this way, if the president wins every state -- let's take the three Great Lakes states, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin [and] put them to the side for a second. If the president wins any one of the rest of the states he won in 2016 and carries Pennsylvania, he's got 280 electoral votes, ten more than needed," Rove said.
"If he carries Wisconsin out of those three states, only Wisconsin, he's got 270," he explained. "If he carries Michigan out of those three states and loses Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, he's got 276, so the path to victory lies in these states."

Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden appeared to forget the name of his opponent during a virtual campaign event on Sunday.
Mr Biden, 77, appeared alongside wife Jill Biden for the I Will Vote Concert live-stream, which featured artists including Pink, Cher and John Legend as well as actresses Amy Schumer and Helen Mirren, among others.
“This is the most consequential – not because I’m running but because of who I’m running against – this is the most consequential election in a long, long, long time,” Mr Biden said.
“And the character of the country, in my view, is literally on the ballot. What kind of country are we gonna be? Four more years of George, uh … George, uh … he, uh … gonna find ourselves in a position where, if uh, Trump gets elected, uh, we’re gonna be, uh, we’re gonna be in a different world.”
===
Why a winner of the US election may have already been decidedWho is going to win the US election remains the key question. But this is why there may already be a winner between Trump and Biden.
Journalist Sam Clench has it mapped out in his head. Biden wins the popular vote and Trump wins the electoral college. Just like 2016. The possibility of corruption procedings impacting the vote has not occurred to him. The Deep State has to be be deep sixed, or everything is lost.

Coronavirus Victoria live: No changes to face mask rules in Victoria
Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews has announced “now is the time to open up”, but there’s still one restriction he won’t budge on.
“We are not indicating any easing of masks today,” Mr Andrews told reporters.
“Masks are incredibly important. Difficult, you know, not particularly pleasant, but for a very low cost we get potentially a very, very high benefit.
“That’s why we’re going to persist with those for a while. We’re not quite sure how long.
“It may be that the settings change, potentially, but masks are going to be, particularly when you’re going to be proximate with other people, a feature. It is a very low cost for a very big gain.”
If neither wearer suffers from COVID, what is the point? Isn't it the case COVID sufferers are quarantined? Aren't there contact tracing experts? What about treating sick people?
===
More than one incompetent is behind the death of some 800 Victorians over COVID. Claiming to be helping Victoria, Sutton authorised curfew, denied effective medication, exposed the weakest to the disease and prevented the strongest from working. He has demanded Victorians wear face masks despite quarantining sick people and healthy people not needing the mask as a benefit. He had crime tape placed on children's slides and swings. But the media claim he is handsome

Victorians lost lives, jobs and a part of themselves during lockdownThe darkest time in Victoria’s history is behind us, but we’re still stuck. We sacrificed a part of ourselves in lockdown and it’s showing.
When people talk about the “sacrifice” Victorians made, I wonder if we’re on the same page.
The definition changed for me recently — just after Daniel Andrews uttered those now immortal words: “Now is the time to open up.”
For months, throughout the entirety of a jarring, agonising, monotonous lockdown, I had thought about the sacrifice that others were making.
The healthcare workers who sacrificed their own safety to stand in front of a deadly virus and put the public first.
The business owners who sacrificed a life’s work when they walked away from what they built, sometimes never to return.
The families who sacrificed a final goodbye with loved ones in aged care homes or at funerals with a 10-person limit, not including the deceased.
But there’s something else that struck me about sacrifice when the Premier delivered the news on Monday that Melburnians had waited so long to hear.
Journalist totally misses the point. Lockdown has not addressed COVID, but delayed the inevitable. Victoria still needs to work while people get infected and treated. Healthy people have had no benefit from not working for over six months. Elderly have had no benefit of effective treatment while they were sedated under lockdown. Children have missed some six months of schooling. The infections that caused lockdown were from government failure. Even the latest mishap was from government telling a sick kid they could go to school, then government panicked.

South China Sea: China’s aggression backfiring as Quad alliance mobilisesEven neutral nations are hitting back at Beijing’s “wolf warrior” tactics but China’s doubling down and has threatened Australia’s “peace and stability”.
A recent Pew survey, which encompassed 14 different countries, found China’s reputation has collapsed to a historic low. And a cacophony of crises is behind it.
At the UN, 39 nations issued a joint statement declaring their fears over cultural genocide of the ethnic Uighur Muslim minority in occupied Xinjiang. Some 70 years after the invasion of Tibet, concerns at the forced assimilation of this ancient culture are once again being expressed.
Sparking it all has been Beijing’s blatant disregard for the handover agreement it signed with Great Britain over the handover of Hong Kong. Now democracy advocates there – be they students or parliamentarians – are being detained.

Some are jeering, claiming Joyce was not very good. Joyce is an outstanding parliamentarian who has done much for the nation and the National Party. While Turnbull chases fads and casts aspersions at his most effective ministers (Dutton, Morrison and Joyce), Joyce has been supporting the Australian farming community. With 100 dams, Joyce is providing water security for times of drought and flood. Joyce is not the idiot behind Turnbull's energy policy. We need more like Joyce in parliament.
But even if Trump has support and can get elected, there are serious doubts about the processes and so Trump might not be able to get the electoral college votes. The corruption of the press undermines democracy around the world. It is not a new thing. In UK, it was apparent in Horatio Nelson’s day (circa 1800) and there is no easy way of addressing it. It is cultural to the profession. Journalism professors will take sides and lie for their tribe. And if Trump gets elected, then the press will immediately begin work to limit the Presidency to one term or less. But if Trump loses it is worse. Hillary’s job is to be so awful that the Democrats can say, following her loss, that they have listened to the people and will change as a party. But the press? Who can save it? Fox is balanced, not a supporter of Trump. And when they hosted the third debate they scoffed at a Reagan type economic plan that promotes GDP and cuts business taxes. They supported Hillary’s impossible plan of increasing Education and health spending, while not increasing taxation and debt, like what Jimmy Carter promised in 1980. Trump is not Reagan, but that is not the issue. Blind hatred of anyone not left wing all the time motivates the world’s mainstream media and skews political support.
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.
Gerard Henderson tried to intercept my unfairly broad question of Heiner and public service corruption, but Campbell answered it well .. he tried and looked to do something regarding the destruction of evidence. If he could have done something, he would have. For mine, it shows the benefits of ALP insurance. Had a conservative destroyed evidence of a gang rape of an indigenous girl in detention they would be persecuted more than they are now.
For some, at the moment, the Sex Party has more credibility.
A new ABC chief would be better than the present one. All they need be is balanced.
Victoria's conservative government are in trouble according to polls. They have an effective leader and their policy is positive with a vision for the future, while the ALP have shown nothing worthwhile. But with media siding with ALP in almost all media, the choice for voters will be hard.
ALP know their policy was wrong and caused deaths, but they refuse to change, and obstruct legislation that saves lives and is more compassionate and fairer. ALP like to kill. For those living elsewhere, the issue is to do with migration by boat to Australia. Conservatives had ended the mass drownings and piratic exploitation of desperate economic migrants in 2002 with the Pacific Solution, allowing routine refugee checks on the migrants off shore of Australia. But the ALP claimed that was not compassionate. So the ALP took down the Pacific Solution in '08 and the result was many died and many tens of thousands were exploited by pirates, paying some $10k or $20k each to come to Australia. The abysmal policy of the ALP meant $billions were spent housing and caring for survivors whom were placed in camps for years at a time. The new conservative government has ended the expensive misery, but the ALP are desperately holding onto their murderous policy.
Some really disgusting, obstructive and insane people are bigoted non Muslims. But they aren't the terrorists killing, raping and torturing people.
Bad ALP administration has resulted in corruption of academic progress in schooling. Not merely the calls to lie about global warming and bush fires from senior administration, but the very act of teaching and learning reading has been corrupted by a fad. Average and exceptional children with excellent home support may progress normally with whole word reading, but there is a substantial number of children who don't, and they need a technique for attacking words which current educational standards don't cater for, as evidenced by the substantial number of children graduating from high school illiterate .. unable to write a sentence, or a letter, or read an administrative form requiring their birthdate and signature. Of course, abysmal left wing preaching permeates the courses in all key learning areas.
