My names 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 historical truths
Who opposed slavery in Biblical times? Who opposed slavery in Great Britain? Who opposed Slavery in USA? Who gave votes to women in NZ? Who gave votes to women in Great Britain? Who gave votes to women in USA? Who brought in civil rights in England? Who brought in civil rights in USA? Who brought in civil rights in Australia?
If your answer to these truths is conservatives over liberals, you miss the point. Conservatism and Leftism are modern concepts. The ancient dialog of Plato was not between conservatism and leftism. However the dialog has morphed and flipped over time, coming to be that today. And the so called centre point is the cutting edge. Whomever owns the centre point has an advantage. It is rhetoric today that attributes that to leftism. But, leftists oppose progress and embrace reflexive activism.
Conservatism versus leftism evolved from the English civil wars between puritans like Cromwell and royalists. Tories and Whigs each supported the crown. Over time, however, Tories would broadly support the Crown, while Whigs became more enamoured with so called progressive ideas. The French Revolution would formalise the concept of leftism and rightism. The revolutionary council of France had had conservatives on the right, and radicals on the left.
In the last two hundred years, we have had progressives embracing slavery and killing conservatives who opposed it. Progressives opposed votes for women as they did votes for blacks. Progressive parties would exploit minorities as they claimed to serve them. Black support for Democrats today dates back to FDR promising them more than he delivered with his 'new deal.' Who thinks now that fatherless unemployed families leads to prosperity? My father, coming to NYC in 1963 would catch taxi cabs often driven by Jewish dads who proudly displayed images of their children studying to be in University, often becoming doctors or lawyers. Meeting a black beggar, he might ask why they don't drive a taxi. "Taxis don't pay enough. We want real jobs." "But if you work in a taxi, your children could go to university and get those jobs." "If they want to drive taxis, they can."
So think on these historical truths, who bungled WW2 and firebombed Berlin and nuked cities twice? Who left us an unending war in a divided Korea? Who bombed Yugoslavia rather than sending in troops? Who arrested Noriega the drug dealer? Who overthrows dictators to let the people run their own government? Who gives arms to terrorists? Who endorsed Ho Chi Minh or Pol Pot? Not every GOP is worthy of respect, many are RINO. But whom among Dems has not supported terrorism? Which Dem has not supported crippling corruption which steals $trillions from the world economy? Which Dem has not called baby killing a virtue?
Whenever GOP do well, press claim that everyone is corrupt. When GOP stumble, press claim that Dem are strong. We need a free voice to discover nuance. Welcome to Voice DDB.
Today is the anniversary of an unfair fight which changed the world forever. The Battle of Karbala in 680 AD pitted a caravan of 110 being slaughtered by some thirty thousand. The thirty thousand were following the established but illegitimate rule of Yazidi. Husayn ibn Ali was a descendent of Mohammed and a son of Fatimah, Mohammed's daughter who was the only one to survive to adulthood. Yazidi was the son of a usurper whom had promised to not promote his son. But the guy with all the men won. Husayn had had a six month old son who was also beheaded following the battle. It is said by some that an angel intervened and replaced Husayn with another. The result of the battle is the schism between Sunni and Shia.

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.

From the Bible, 1 Thessalonians 2
Paul’s Ministry in Thessalonica
You know, brothers and sisters, that our visit to you was not without results. We had previously suffered and been treated outrageously in Philippi, as you know, but with the help of our God we dared to tell you his gospel in the face of strong opposition. For the appeal we make does not spring from error or impure motives, nor are we trying to trick you. On the contrary, we speak as those approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel. We are not trying to please people but God, who tests our hearts. You know we never used flattery, nor did we put on a mask to cover up greed—God is our witness. We were not looking for praise from people, not from you or anyone else, even though as apostles of Christ we could have asserted our authority. Instead, we were like young children among you.
Just as a nursing mother cares for her children, so we cared for you. Because we loved you so much, we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God but our lives as well. Surely you remember, brothers and sisters, our toil and hardship; we worked night and day in order not to be a burden to anyone while we preached the gospel of God to you. You are witnesses, and so is God, of how holy, righteous and blameless we were among you who believed. For you know that we dealt with each of you as a father deals with his own children, encouraging, comforting and urging you to live lives worthy of God, who calls you into his kingdom and glory.
And we also thank God continually because, when you received the word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as a human word, but as it actually is, the word of God, which is indeed at work in you who believe. For you, brothers and sisters, became imitators of God’s churches in Judea, which are in Christ Jesus: You suffered from your own people the same things those churches suffered from the Jews who killed the Lord Jesus and the prophets and also drove us out. They displease God and are hostile to everyone in their effort to keep us from speaking to the Gentiles so that they may be saved. In this way they always heap up their sins to the limit. The wrath of God has come upon them at last.
Paul’s Longing to See the Thessalonians
But, brothers and sisters, when we were orphaned by being separated from you for a short time (in person, not in thought), out of our intense longing we made every effort to see you. For we wanted to come to you—certainly I, Paul, did, again and again—but Satan blocked our way. For what is our hope, our joy, or the crown in which we will glory in the presence of our Lord Jesus when he comes? Is it not you? Indeed, you are our glory and joy.

1. The exaggerated death count attributed to Covid from the media makes one of their own "cardinal sins" they attribute to others -- "missing context." When adjusted by age, population size, and life expectancy, 2020 was barely a blip on the screen in mortality rate, and this doesn't even address the misattribution of deaths to Covid. https://mises.org/wire/age-adjusted-mortality-2004-levels-yet-they-tell-us-covid-worse-1918-flu

Here is a video I made "When Will I Be Loved"
"When Will I Be Loved" is a popular song, written by Phil Everly of the Everly Brothers and a #8 hit single for that duo in the summer of 1960. The track had been recorded in 1959 while the Everly Brothers were contracted to Cadence Records; by 1960 they had moved to Warner Brothers and recording in a more mainstream Pop/Rock style than previously. The belated release by Cadence of "When Will I Be Loved" provided the Everly Brothers with a final rockabilly style hit

Don't give up on hope. Race Discrimination Commissioner Tim Soutphommasane applauds Australian Test Cricketer Usman Khawaja for saying he lied to Cate Mcgregor about his life in Australia being untainted by prejudice. To be fair, he had been selected to play for Australia at that time. Now he hasn't been. And maybe will never be selected again. But it is sport, and if his record was good enough, and he wasn't an evangelical Christian like Tim Tebow, then he would be selected. But then Malcolm Turnbull was made PM by 55 bedwetters and so it is not really performance governing things. Usman has the support of the race discrimination commissioner. Why would he need it?
The power supply is threatened in Victoria and people may lose their lives to brown outs. I use a CPAP machine and a power cut at night, or over a week, could kill me. The inept Liberal government, run by Malcolm Turnbull and Julie Bishop are suggesting poor people get money for using less electricity. The electricity I use powers my fridge, my computer, my lights, my hot water, my CPAP and my internet. What should I cut from my excess? Meanwhile, HRC is abysmally run in Australia and Julie Bishop wants Australia to lead the UNHRC.

The unelected Human Rights Council is too politicised. Just as with the greyhound industry, it cannot be policed. It needs to be shut down. Only if the authorities can assure the government that they have learned how to behave lawfully, should it be reinstated. The HRC has assaulted free speech, targeted students anonymously, lied about children in detention and promoted bigotry. The Racial Discrimination Act needs to have section 18c rewritten or scrapped completely. It is incommensurate with a free democratic society. A cartoonist is being targeted with no less venom than terrorists pursuing those who write fiction, or depict Mohammed in cartoons. All the cartoonist did was portray an awful truth regarding youth dysfunction in Aboriginal society, and adult dysfunction too. In the cartoon, an Aboriginal policeman is seen talking to a father. And so on the day the cartoon was published, a person has complained they were offended racially. And so a dying man spends precious time defending himself in court. Or University students are denied work for life thanks to the bigot brand. The problem with the HRC is a subset of a wider malaise. The judiciary is biased.
I suggest Red Gum ward vote for David Daniel Ball. And, after asking your local councillor about their views on Trump, Same Sex Marriage and Greyhounds, try and find out what it is they will do to make garbage collection cheaper and more efficient. Ask how they will make business more profitable. Ask what they will do to help address crime. Ask what they will do to improve public transport issues locally.
=== from 2015 ===
The anti Israel meme which is promoted by the left is still embraced by many who hate Jews, because bigots in the past did too. And it highlights how bad education is in Australia that there is room in the curriculum to promote such bigotry. Israel is a modern democratic state that is not solely inhabited by Jewish peoples but by all peoples. Islamic people in Israel have more safety and prosperity than anywhere else in the world. Also Jewish peoples. But Jewish peoples are not safe in the Middle East, or in large swathes of Europe dominated by Islamic refugees. And that is not due to any fault of Jews.
Last year, Peter Costello wrote
What I’ve said is that this is a country, which is founded on a democracy. According to our Constitution, we have a secular state. Our laws are made by the Australian Parliament. If those are not your values, if you want a country which has Sharia law or a theocratic state, then Australia is not for you. This is not the kind of country where you would feel comfortable if you were opposed to democracy, parliamentary law, independent courts and so I would say to people who don’t feel comfortable with those values there might be other countries where they’d feel more comfortable with their own values or beliefs.
But under a new PM, we have bad apologies
For some, at the moment, the Sex Party has more credibility.

Liberal MP Fiona Scott claims she was taken out of context when she said there had only been one little incident of terrorism over 100 years in Australia.
In a late-night address to parliament, the western Sydney MP said her comments on Sky News last week were not referring to the recent Parramatta shooting in which police worker Curtis Cheng was killed, but an incident in Broken Hill, NSW, over a century ago.
“Perhaps in 20/20 hindsight I could have chosen my words slightly better ... I am sorry if people have taken my words out of context,” she said on Wednesday.
One wonders what context might make those inappropriate words worthwhile. For some, at the moment, the Sex Party has more credibility.

Should I stay or Should I go?
All organisations need talent to prosper. Jarryd Hayne is one of the most talented players ever to play for the NRL. He has been hampered by playing for a low ranking club, and he has been short changed by the ARL not deciding on awarding him the player of the year on his own, but he has nothing left to prove. And at 26 years of age, super fit and talented, he has a big future, much bigger than small pond ARL. A bigger organisation is the ARU and the case of Kurtley Beale. Beale has done nothing wrong in using social media, but has been imprudent, and that threatens his career. But the ARU is very low at the moment. The coach, McKenzie has got the team to play much better than they have without much reward. The way forward is for Beale to play well on the field. A bigger organisation than either ARL or ARU is the NSW National Party, whose leader, Andrew Stoner, is stepping aside for family reasons. Stoner has been an excellent leader for the Nationals, leading them in coalition into government in 2011 after sixteen years. Stoner could have chosen to help, over the Hamidur Rahman issue. He didn't, but he is not an abuser. The Conservative Weasel wishes him well.
It's the end of the world as we know it
A freak weather occurrence has hit Sydney, a category two cyclone. It is cold and wet, except in nearby Blue Mountains where it is cold and snowy. Last year, forest fires were proclaimed by AGW hysterics as proof the world is warming to hell. Regardless of the finger of blame, some are suffering and one hopes that diverted misappropriated funds to AGW alarmist issues don't hamper rescue efforts. The ALP have a policy of making children pay for such things by borrowing unsustainably. But a research paper has been produced that has stunned AGW believers: Carbon Dioxide, aka plant food, is plant food .. and plants are absorbing it. A tax designed to reduce Carbon Dioxide, which ALP Leader Shorten calls 'Carbon,' would starve plants, but achieve nothing worthwhile.
When the left hand does not know what it is doing
Gillard used to be known as an elite policy producer for the ALP. She was said to have a razor sharp mind as well as an easy manner. Maybe she is easy, she has never crossed paths since she promised to discuss or help on an issue of policy on Sunrise in '07. But tragically her memory is failing her. She possesses so many other attributes of an elephant, but not memory. She might have been remembering her rhetoric when criticising Mr Howard over Tampa, but she was wrong in fact. She can't recall how she misappropriated money as a lawyer. She also has failed to correctly recall a conference incident in which her pride wasn't really hurt, but she *felt* it more keenly than an Enterprise empath. Maybe her failing memory is policy? It doesn't take much for members of the left to take hurt. They prize victimhood. But the social media effort to ban a Woolworth t-shirt which was marked "If you don't love it here you can leave" as well as the Australian flag, is outrageous. It is legitimate for nationalists to be proud, and the opposition to nationalism is allowed to say so in a free society, but wrong to silence the nationalists under a false label of racism. In fact racist bigots have used the expression on people the left wish to protect. A jihadist who is fighting against Australian troops was on disability, and had come to Australia as a so called asylum seeker. It is wrong to call every muslim a terrorist, but it is also wrong to call every nationalist a bigot. The effort is to gag free speech, and tragically the left are very good at doing that. And so an advert featuring journalist Andrew Bolt among others for a News Corp app makes the left choke.
Choices they make
The ANU has chosen to divest itself of profitable funds which activists don't like. The ANU is free to choose as it will, but should not be rewarded with tax payer money for making bad ones. A pro abortion rally prominently displayed a sign calling for others to kill babies. Incitement to kill is not free speech. There are arguments for and against abortion. It is a necessary life saving procedure, but it should not be a lifestyle choice. One abortion advocate risibly claimed she would abort her child on a set, soon, date, and declared it was her choice. There are alternatives which she failed to list, as tunnel vision on her end, listed quality of life excuses. Oscar Pistorius chose to kill his girlfriend on Valentines Day and, possibly to forestall a civil suit, paid blood money to her parents. One hopes he is jailed for a long time.

Today's Old Testament reading: Isaiah 43-44
Israel’s Only Savior
1 But now, this is what the LORD says—
he who created you, Jacob,
he who formed you, Israel:
“Do not fear, for I have redeemed you;
I have summoned you by name; you are mine.
2 When you pass through the waters,
I will be with you;
and when you pass through the rivers,
they will not sweep over you.
When you walk through the fire,
you will not be burned;
the flames will not set you ablaze.
3 For I am the LORD your God,
the Holy One of Israel, your Savior;
I give Egypt for your ransom,
Cush and Seba in your stead.
4 Since you are precious and honored in my sight,
and because I love you,
I will give people in exchange for you,
nations in exchange for your life.
5 Do not be afraid, for I am with you;
I will bring your children from the east
and gather you from the west.
6 I will say to the north, ‘Give them up!’
and to the south, ‘Do not hold them back.’
Bring my sons from afar
and my daughters from the ends of the earth—
7 everyone who is called by my name,
whom I created for my glory,
whom I formed and made.”

Today's New Testament reading: 1 Thessalonians 2
Paul’s Ministry in Thessalonica
1 You know, brothers and sisters, that our visit to you was not without results. 2 We had previously suffered and been treated outrageously in Philippi, as you know, but with the help of our God we dared to tell you his gospel in the face of strong opposition. 3 For the appeal we make does not spring from error or impure motives, nor are we trying to trick you. 4On the contrary, we speak as those approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel. We are not trying to please people but God, who tests our hearts. 5 You know we never used flattery, nor did we put on a mask to cover up greed—God is our witness. 6We were not looking for praise from people, not from you or anyone else, even though as apostles of Christ we could have asserted our authority. 7 Instead, we were like young children among you.
Just as a nursing mother cares for her children, 8 so we cared for you. Because we loved you so much, we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God but our lives as well. 9 Surely you remember, brothers and sisters, our toil and hardship; we worked night and day in order not to be a burden to anyone while we preached the gospel of God to you.10 You are witnesses, and so is God, of how holy, righteous and blameless we were among you who believed. 11 For you know that we dealt with each of you as a father deals with his own children, 12 encouraging, comforting and urging you to live lives worthy of God, who calls you into his kingdom and glory....

Morning
"I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord."
Philippians 3:8
Philippians 3:8
Spiritual knowledge of Christ will be a personal knowledge. I cannot know Jesus through another person's acquaintance with him. No, I must know him myself; I must know him on my own account. It will be an intelligent knowledge--I must know him, not as the visionary dreams of him, but as the Word reveals him. I must know his natures, divine and human. I must know his offices--his attributes--his works--his shame--his glory. I must meditate upon him until I "comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; and know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge." It will be an affectionate knowledge of him; indeed, if I know him at all, I must love him. An ounce of heart knowledge is worth a ton of head learning. Our knowledge of him will be a satisfying knowledge. When I know my Saviour, my mind will be full to the brim--I shall feel that I have that which my spirit panted after. "This is that bread whereof if a man eat he shall never hunger." At the same time it will be an exciting knowledge; the more I know of my Beloved, the more I shall want to know. The higher I climb the loftier will be the summits which invite my eager footsteps. I shall want the more as I get the more. Like the miser's treasure, my gold will make me covet more. To conclude; this knowledge of Christ Jesus will be a most happy one; in fact, so elevating, that sometimes it will completely bear me up above all trials, and doubts, and sorrows; and it will, while I enjoy it, make me something more than "Man that is born of woman, who is of few days, and full of trouble"; for it will fling about me the immortality of the ever living Saviour, and gird me with the golden girdle of his eternal joy. Come, my soul, sit at Jesus's feet and learn of him all this day.
Evening
If a Christian can by possibility be saved while he conforms to this world, at any rate it must be so as by fire. Such a bare salvation is almost as much to be dreaded as desired. Reader, would you wish to leave this world in the darkness of a desponding death bed, and enter heaven as a shipwrecked mariner climbs the rocks of his native country? then be worldly; be mixed up with Mammonites, and refuse to go without the camp bearing Christ's reproach. But would you have a heaven below as well as a heaven above? Would you comprehend with all saints what are the heights and depths, and know the love of Christ which passeth knowledge? Would you receive an abundant entrance into the joy of your Lord? Then come ye out from among them, and be ye separate, and touch not the unclean thing. Would you attain the full assurance of faith? you cannot gain it while you commune with sinners. Would you flame with vehement love? Your love will be damped by the drenchings of godless society. You cannot become a great Christian--you may be a babe in grace, but you never can be a perfect man in Christ Jesus while you yield yourself to the worldly maxims and modes of business of men of the world. It is ill for an heir of heaven to be a great friend with the heirs of hell. It has a bad look when a courtier is too intimate with his king's enemies. Even small inconsistencies are dangerous. Little thorns make great blisters, little moths destroy fine garments, and little frivolities and little rogueries will rob religion of a thousand joys. O professor, too little separated from sinners, you know not what you lose by your conformity to the world. It cuts the tendons of your strength, and makes you creep where you ought to run. Then, for your own comfort's sake, and for the sake of your growth in grace, if you be a Christian, be a Christian, and be a marked and distinct one.

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)
