Lockdowns are as ineffective as face masks. I must wear a face mask indoors and out doors despite being double vaccinated. My employer who cannot employ me under lockdown has had to check that I am double vaccinated. I will not be allowed to work until February next year. Those who claim face masks keep me safe point to studies made in hospitals where the sickly are densely populated. I can point to the ridiculous spread of Covid variants despite curfew, lockdown and face masks. Something is wrong. I am not allowed, were I to contract COVID, to treat it with Ivermectin, HCQ or Fenofibrate despite all three being effective medications. Instead I have been double vaccinated when the vaccine may be more deadly than COVID.
A Christian Evangelist who targeted Jews asked me to clarify my outrage. I do so.
Read it aloud and try to see what might be offensive to a Jewish person, even one who was not religious, but ethnically Jewish. I have Jewish family, and lost some to the holocaust. My Jewish ancestors had gone to Poland from Horowice, which gave them a name, and Jacobs, which gave them another, but last names are not a Jewish thing. You may wish forgiveness for arrogance. You are not important enough that your belief was responsible for their horrible persecution. That persecution was persistent and real and largely documented, but not entirely. Sometimes some of the persecutors asked forgiveness of G-d, but continued. Today, one wound Jews feel terribly is when evangelical Christians claim their young using sophisticated arguments the young are not conditioned to respond to. Jewish peoples do not proselytise, but raise their young in accordance with their scripture. They feel real anger when their young are taken from them by hucksters.
My family fled the pogroms of the Tsars. Before that, they fled many Christian leaders. You may have heard of Hypatia and Saint Cyril, there had been Alexandrian Jews that Cyril ‘loved’ too. The New World was discovered when a persecuted Spanish Jew named Columbus set sail. Japan’s second religion is an offshoot from Jewish slaves dating back to a hundred years or so after Jonah, it is in DNA records. And yet, despite the thousands of years of persecution, the Jewish community retains her indomitable character. I believe God did something very special when they were in that desert, and God has a plan which includes them. I don’t know what it is. But I’m not so arrogant to think I can impugn on their good will by targeting their young without consequence. Disraeli is said to have observed “Two thousands years of Christian love has left the Jews feeling nervous.” Yet Disraeli was Christian. I ask G-d for guidance on this issue, and I believe I need to be humble. And I’m saying to you that needs to inform your mission. And if that is not possible for you, go somewhere else.
NB. FB deleted a post I made on the issue
“I ask forgiveness from Jews who experienced horrible persecution because of my arrogance in believing that my theology was more important than the incessant wounds they suffered for almost 2000 years at the hands of Christians.”Read it aloud and try to see what might be offensive to a Jewish person, even one who was not religious, but ethnically Jewish.

The following day, I got further messages
Brian Rocker I'm really confused David at what you're getting at? Who's targeting youth? And I don't understand what's wrong with Brother Tommy or myself or anyone else repenting for the sins of our fathers like Daniel did while in Babylon. I'm really confused at your post. Can you explain so we can understand the offense you feel? Thanks!
For some, failing to understand is a gift. When the Lord finally returns and tells his people of his love, Brian and Tommy might say 'huh?'

I apologise. I'm angry. I may be dead in a few years, having been lucky to have lived so long. I see a world of promise, and I see that promise squandered by the corrupt. When I was young, I dreamt of a positive answer to that eternal question, is their intelligent life on Earth? Andrews, Biden and Trudeau say 'no'

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.

Australia moves towards an election federally. And the director of the Liberal Party infuriates me, asking me for money to support his AGW hucksterism that isn't as bad as the ALP one. It still is not good policy.
Today, 25th Sept 2021 I carry fake news
The fake news comes from a left wing site called "The Hill"
In the article on the Arizona draft Audit into 2020 election fraudulently given Biden, we are told there were no accidents and that a simple vote count shows Biden won. However, the simple vote count does not show that at all. It shows that the voter fraud was wilful and deliberate. It shows that the parties behind the fraud covered their tracks. Now for the parts of the audit that have been opposed. A check of signatures. The system data showing when and how votes were cast. That will take longer because the investigation has been impeded.
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.

Don't give up on hope. The vote for the SSM survey run by postal ballot is ham fisted and badly run. The authorities promise to bodgy the results. It is supposed to be a secret vote, so once a vote is cast, no one can trace it. Envelopes with the vote are bar coded for individuals. It is said that if one change there mind, they can vote again. What happens if a 'yes' voter claims to have changed their mind, and voids a no vote, and then votes 'yes' again? And there is the missed opportunity of using an online vote that is verifiable by being private, not secret, and much cheaper to run. Also making future elections better and cheaper.Malcolm Turnbull should be remembered for all time for this campaign as the utter failure his stewardship of the PM's position has been.
The UN is still big on a two state solution for Palestine. It already exists and is called Jordan, but UN does not want that, when it can demand the destruction of Israel instead. Scott Adams addresses the gun control issue without employing its about gun control safety. ABC demands more electric cars on Australian roads, having successfully campaigned to weaken the power grid and make it prohibitively expensive for all. It looks increasingly as if the Las Vegas killer was acting alone, but with ISIS advice. Paddock left a paper showing calculations for hitting the crowd optimally. Paddock had also secretly cruised to the Middle East recently.

I have just finished reading Richard Allsop's Liberalism: a Short History
The book is good and full of history, but I'm disappointed as the arguments are flaky even though I broadly agree with them. Allsopp writes like a university professor and so definitions aren't like real world understandings. For example he describes the difference between small 'l' liberals and large 'L' Liberals for the Liberal Party of Australia. The books thesis is to do with the changing description of liberals in history. Liberals are the hero of the text. Only, in modern terms, Liberals tend to be economic conservatives like Howard while liberals tend to be social conservatives who go for big spending, big government, being centre left, like Malcolm Turnbull, Malcolm Fraser, John Hewson and Peter Collins. But in Allsop's view, Howard becomes a Dry while wets become the heirs of Liberalism who just happen to oppose pretty much everything that Liberalism stands for. The word Allsop is searching for is Conservative. He tends not to use it as he tries to pin anything worthwhile on liberalism.

The word Allsop is searching for is Conservative. He tends not to use it as he tries to pin anything worthwhile on liberalism.
Allsopp finishes in confused fashion, but he begins with it too. He refers to Pitt the Younger, who was PM of the UK from 1804 to 1806, and PM of Great Britain from 1783 to 1801, as a Tory. Pitt was a Whig. When Horatio Nelson wanted to serve in parliament, Pitt convinced him to be a Whig, even though Nelson's father was a life long Tory. But Nelson chose Whig on Pitt's advice because he wanted to be heard, and then, as now, the press hated conservatives and opposed them with rhetoric. Thing is, Whigs made grandiose claims and were reported glowingly. And so there is a temptation for modern historians to attribute much to those who were praised, but praised undeservedly because of tribal affiliation.
The true heir of classical Liberalism, proclaiming individual freedom and small state interference, are economic conservatives unfettered by left wing dandies. Australia had a glimpse with work choices, before extreme authoritarian left wingers from a metamorphosed liberal tradition wrecked it. And Abbott could be the touch stone which bestows it, if Turnbull is ever turned away.

Channel 9 aired "The Verdict" in which several left wing panelists agree with each other about current affairs. Disappointingly Anne Henderson, the lone voice of reason, failed to stand up for an anti abortionist who had been banned from coming to Australia. Several on the panel, including the host, Karl Stefanovic, claimed that the banned guy was calling for the murder of abortionists. Not true, and Latham pointed out the banned guy had denied it. In fact, the banned guy had called for the law to be enforced and noted there was a death penalty for murder. All the panellists agreed he should be banned.

Issues on unwanted outcomes
Bob Carr seems to have intervened in a surrogacy case, encouraging a couple to traffic one of their children in 2012. Twins, one boy, one girl were born in India to an Australian couple via surrogacy. Allegedly, the Australian couple only wanted one gender, and so it is alleged they sold the one they didn't want. It is alleged the Australian embassy tried to encourage the couple to keep both, but the then government intervened with a highly placed ALP politician. Bob Carr was foreign minister at the time. Bad parents are a menace. There are good parents that worry that any reference to bad parenting is reference to them. It isn't. Good parents guide their children through adolescence, providing them with rules so that when they are older, resistant to their parents and have hormones preventing clear thought, they still have rules they can rely on to keep them alive. And in the thick of it, parents will struggle to know if they have done right. But parents relying on courts through AVO's on their adolescent children have created a menace which will get harder as the child ages. Comcast had an unhappy customer fired after Comcast allegedly tracked the customer, who had a legitimate complaint and a right to complain, to the customer's work. The work was apparently a client of Comcast. The message being, no one should work for such an employer as Comcast. Australia has budget problems. The budget was appropriate in making needed cuts, but it has been opposed by the Greens, ALP and PUP. Obstructionism will not end before another election, and maybe not then, either. Australia also has problems when the same organisations prevent the PM banning those who speak for terrorism.
Issues on pedophilia
Seventh Heaven, a highly rated Christian tv show, has had a pedophile shock with an actor, the show's lead, the dad, taped confessing to abusing multiple children. Hillsong, the large evangelical Christian church is reeling that the father of a senior pastor, Brian Houston, may have been a serial pedophile. There is no evidence at the moment claiming the church has condoned it.
Issues on terrorism
Hatred is blinding twitter fools to the fact that terrorism is not the same as government. Terrorism is not the same as religion. Terrorism is not the same as war. Terrorism is not the same as culture. Terrorism is not the same as leadership. Just because terrorists oppose some people the hater hates, does not make the terrorist a sympathiser for their cause. AndrewBolt has written "The Islamic State is to Islam what Mao, Pol Pot and Stalin were to socialism." Obama's indecisiveness and incompetence threaten to entangle the US in a thirty year fight against Terror. Women supporting oppression by wearing a niqab or Burka, includes Jessica Rowe. So, do what she asks, and stop following or watching her. Four people claiming to be Islamic are arrested on terrorism related charges in the UK. Australians will and do stand for oppressed peoples, including Islam. There is video proof from a Macquarie University study.

From 2013
Politicians' pay is big at the moment in the press. Obama is collecting his pay check while he has shut the government down and impeded the public. There is debate about Liberal Party people collecting expenses from parties like weddings. Peter Slipper, the disgraced former MP, has said that he feels the wedding fees are like his driving rorts. To put them in context, Slipper is accused of using driver dockets as cash for items he didn't legally get. While the weddings and expenses things people are getting excited about is related to the kinds of things that politicians do when they network. In fact, the expenses claims may be technically legitimate, but are being repaid because they look bad. But what Slipper is accused of is theft. But somehow every single ALP equivalent is somehow excused .. they are supposed to look bad. But the truth as I see it is wider. Politicians that are paid too much are paid too much if they are paid at all. But politicians that are good can not be paid enough. Imagine the $billions of back pay owed to Peter Costello. Things are looking better in the economy with Abbott in charge. We could not pay a single ALP member enough to get them to vote responsibly a few months ago. Maybe we can't pay them (the ALP to be responsible) enough now, either.
