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.

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.

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.

From the Bible, Ephesians 3
God’s Marvelous Plan for the Gentiles
For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for the sake of you Gentiles—
Surely you have heard about the administration of God’s grace that was given to me for you, that is, the mystery made known to me by revelation, as I have already written briefly. In reading this, then, you will be able to understand my insight into the mystery of Christ, which was not made known to people in other generations as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to God’s holy apostles and prophets. This mystery is that through the gospel the Gentiles are heirs together with Israel, members together of one body, and sharers together in the promise in Christ Jesus.
I became a servant of this gospel by the gift of God’s grace given me through the working of his power. Although I am less than the least of all the Lord’s people, this grace was given me: to preach to the Gentiles the boundless riches of Christ, and to make plain to everyone the administration of this mystery, which for ages past was kept hidden in God, who created all things. His intent was that now, through the church, the manifold wisdom of God should be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms, according to his eternal purpose that he accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord. In him and through faith in him we may approach God with freedom and confidence. I ask you, therefore, not to be discouraged because of my sufferings for you, which are your glory.
A Prayer for the Ephesians
For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name. I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.

Here is a video I made There but for fortune
"There but for Fortune" is a song by Phil Ochs, a U.S. singer-songwriter from the 1960s. Ochs wrote the song in 1963. He recorded it twice, for New Folks Volume 2 (Vanguard, 1964) and Phil Ochs in Concert (Elektra, 1966). Joan Baez also recorded "There but for Fortune" in 1964, and her version of the song became a chart hit.

Don't give up on hope. In NRL sport, mainly from Sydney, but neither contender was based there. Queensland Cowboys faced off Melbourne Storm. Melbourne Storm had many players from Queensland. Queensland won handsomely, with Melbourne Storm scoring 34 to Cowboy's six. It was very one sided all match. Sydney never had a chance. But next year, Sydney teams will start equal. That is how sport works.
I posted a strongly worded missive regarding Father Bower from Gosford Anglican. He has all the charm, wit and balance of Westboro Baptist's former leader Fred Phelps. As do his defenders. Occasionally they refer to God (So, what is the occasion?) and a few have responded. Father Bower is a SSM advocate, but also advocates AGW hysteria and likes his refugees to be fleeced by people smugglers and face drowning, as opposed to being placed from a refugee camp.

I wrote Bread of Life to address faith issues, and it addresses the condemnation of Donata and Christina, both of whom I blocked because they failed to argue substantively but through name calling. But even so, their arguments deserve to be addressed. Including the theological aspects.
Christina wants me to quote sources. But first we need to know where there is a dispute of fact. Australia, thanks to Rudd Gillard ending the Pacific Solution had about one boat arrival a day from Indonesia or Sri Lanka. An estimated 1% of boat people drowned on the journey. Generally, most people who pay people smugglers for transport pay from $10k Australian, although some have paid many times that. Now, thanks to Tony Abbott stopping the boats, years often pass without any boat arrivals. Some who arrive in Australia by boat have been linked to terrorism. Using a people smuggler to get to Australia means pushing a refugee aside who is waiting in a refugee camp. The result of the so called compassionate open border policy is a weakening of security and the drowning of many whom have also been subjected to piracy.
When boat people are processed, they are processed by the UN. Australia does not place them in concentration camps (image of Nazism) but in sheltered areas which are often better than refugee camps, which in fact they are. Terrible crimes are committed in these camps by those who may not be refugees but agents for people smugglers or terrorists. Sometimes, the media have promoted riots and self harm. It would be faster to process the refugees if they didn't burn their identity papers and lie about their birthplace.
Christina wrote she felt Jesus would drown people after stealing their only too. We disagree on that, but I'm just a humble, bible reading conservative Christian.
Donata claims that Bower associates with prostitutes I mostly rejected (did I read that right?).
Just before God condemned Sodom and Gomorrha in the Old Testament they had behaved much the same way ISIS do today. Which would be a good reason for preventing their followers free access. Because we know what God would do to a nation that copies them. And if you don't think God would repeat that, look at what is left of ISIS territory today.
And so here I am, a conservative Christian, preferring a New Testament answer to Donata's old testament solution.

Christina McKercher Booth If you read the post that accompanies the sign (which you obviously haven't!!!) then you would know this has nothing to do with SSM. It is to do with refugees. And to refer to other Christians as the devil because they disagree with your stance is as bad as what you are falsely accusing For Rob of doing. Remove the log!!!
David Daniel Ball You have misread what I wrote.
"But Father Bower seems to want to drown migrants, after fleecing them through subjecting them to piracy. Bower calls that compassionate"
"But Father Bower seems to want to drown migrants, after fleecing them through subjecting them to piracy. Bower calls that compassionate"
Christina McKercher Booth I read it. It still has nothing to do with SSM. And your understanding of the refugee situation is sadly misguided.
Christina McKercher Booth David. Unless you are to actually genuinely find out the facts about this issue for yourself (I certainly don't have the room to educate you here) then please stop throwing out the rhetoric that you have been fed. This information is untrue.
Can you please tell us your source? Firstly, can I encourage you to ask what would Jesus do (or say) in this situation? If you think he would smile and suggest locking up innocents in a concentration camps where they are raped, molested, tortured and some murdered or die from the conditions they live in in order to stop people drowning at sea whilst escaping terror and persecution is the way to do things, then you will turn a lot of people away from Him. And that's what is happening. And that's a huge issue you should be very concerned about.
Or would He say love is first, love is the greatest of these, love is what we should offer? I think, if you genuinely are in a relationship with Christ you know exactly what He says in this situation. Love makes a way, not cruelty. He did't ask us to punish or judge these people, he wants us to help them. Which is what the chapter regarding the Sodomites is about. We need to start loving and sharing and helping or we will end up in the same situation as they did. We don't get to pick and choose who we share God's love with, He does, and that's everyone. If you still think that it's okay to lock people away without legal due course and to treat them as less than human then I have to ask you to revisit your relationship with God. Just as we all should do, constantly.
And by the way. The boats haven't stopped. They still arrive, the government has banned the reporting of it.
Being politically correct (in your situation, believing and spouting the rhetoric the government wants you to believe over God's plan) is not God correct.
I'm not asking you to jump onto Fr Rob's band wagon, I'm just asking you to consider Gods plan for us on this planet. That does not include discarding others and harming them.
=== Posting twoDonata Ferrante Sorry, but you sound absolutely demented. By definition, a CHRISTian is someone who follows the teachings of Christ. He advocated for the poor and the oppressed. He spread a message of love and compassion. He associated with prostitutes and others who most 'Christians' today would turn away from. Fr. Rod Bower is more Christ-like than you could ever hope to be. It seems to me that there are two types of Christians today: the ultra-conservative kind - prosletyse and use the OT teachings to push a hateful, punitive religion that is designed to maintain the status quo (patriarchy and plutocracy) and those who truly emulate Christ.
You sound seriously deranged (not a diagnosis, just a layperson's observation). You ramble and use hyperbole. There is no logic to what you have written. It is no wonder that many churches have trouble filling their pews. Decent, loving people are seeing the hypocrisy. Fr. Rod is a shining beacon in a sea of mediocrity (and worse). Rant as much as you want, you are surely only fooling those who are already of the same view as you.
David Daniel Ball So you disagree with me and don't understand me. That justifies what father Bower posted?
Donata Ferrante David Daniel Ball yes he was. Absolutely! From 'The Real Meaning of Sodomy' By Gier, Professor Emeritus, University of Idaho:
Jesus joins other ancient authorities in viewing the sins of the Sodomites as the abuse of strangers, neglecting the poor andneedy, and the stigmatizing of outsiders. For example, Ezekiel says that the people of Sodom and Gomorrah "had pride, surfeit of food, and prosperous ease, but did not aid the poor and the needy" (16:49-50); and the Wisdom of Solomon says that they "refused to receive strangers when they came to them" (19.14). On the other hand, an early Christian book I Clement states that Lot was saved "because of his hospitality and piety" (11.11). It is significant that when Leviticus condemns "men who lie with men," it does not mention the story of Sodom and Gomorrah.
Dutton is a sodomite.

Dutton IS a Sodomite - and Fr. Rod is justified.

A graceless pre match interview highlighted how inappropriate it is to allow the Australian PM Malcolm Turnbull out without a full round of opinion panels advising of alternatives. Turnbull was interviewed on 3AW, Melbourne's home of footy broadcasts for radio. Turnbull pretended he was a Swan supporter from way back. Only he did not know the lyrics to the club song. I don't follow the Swans closely, but I know them. It was a very bad look for Turnbull. He was even prompted, and showed he had no idea. Then, Turnbull turned on Bulldog supporters. It isn't their fault Julia Gillard follows the club. But Turnbull burned them as if they were his political opponents. It isn't the Swans fault Turnbull pretends to follow them, too. Turnbull mentioned Shorten too, clearly showing he only thinks in political terms, but not too deeply. Note to Mike Baird, it is too late now, but we have evidence that Bulldogs are a dangerous breed and something must be done. Luckily Baird has a sense of humour and dignity. Turnbull is a disaster who doesn't know the words to the club song of the club he supports. I wanted Swans to win, but I am happy that a magnificent team of Bulldogs outplayed Swans and deserved to win. Bulldogs beat Weagles in Perth. Hawks in Melbourne. Giants in Sydney and finally the minor premiers. It was a timeless, perfect finals run. Bulldogs match play in the final was likened by a Richmond supporter to be "like a season highlight reel for Tigers in one game." Probably schools will have to built in Melbourne for students conceived in celebration. The last Bulldogs premiership had been 1954. Minor Premiers Swans looked the goods until Turnbull spoke out for them.

The Liberal Party are communicating that necessary reform to universities is too hard. Apparently they don't know how to tell the public subsidising degrees fifty percent is more feasible and may be extended indefinitely, while subsiding degrees seventy five percent is not affordable in the long term. Too often the conservative parties have outsourced their policy arguments to the Institute of Public Affairs. The IPA has held the flame of freedom of speech, reason on Global Warming and fiscal responsibility as well as excellence in education. The IPA has been very effective and efficient, but the conservative parties have been reticent to embrace the good policy work, partly because the Libs were being undermined by Turnbull, but now because Turnbull, as leader, doesn't recognise good policy. Maybe Turnbull is afraid someone will do to him what he did to Abbott? And Queensland, and Victoria, and South Australia.
For some, at the moment, the Sex Party has more credibility.

It was not a funny joke, but yesterday this column pointed out the accusation that the ARL was governed by women was illustrated by the inability of the ARL to decide who was the best and fairest player over a season. Today, Braith Anasta, nephew to George Piggins who was lock for Souths when they last won a grand final over forty years ago, and a former Bulldog who previously has won a grand final as a Bulldog, said he couldn't pick between the two contestants for 2014. Maybe Jason Clare has at last evidence that chemicals are changing athletes? Another unfunny joke was serial liar Julia Gillard endorsing the doormat Hilary Clinton as Presidential Candidate. Former Australian PM John Howard has demanded Gillard retract and apologise for her slurs over 911. Gillard has accused Mr Howard of using commandos to sex up a security issue. A despicable assertion and verifiable lie. But the left have a tendency to lie and inflate to change perception. Channel 9 News reported "Did Mr Abbott go too far in banning the burqa? We'll tell you tonight at 6pm." They softened the accusation at the actual newscast, possibly because Mr Abbott did not ban the burqa. Not a funny joke.
What is responsible governance? Media seem confused and teachers have no opinion, so that kids don't know. British Malaya in the '50s has been compared to rape, torture and enslavement of women. UK Had built almost a million houses in communities to limit the jungle incursions from communists. Islamo Fascists of ISIL rape, torture, enslave women and kill people randomly. The UN seem to struggle with knowing which is the better state too. But good governance produces a better state. Had China been a good governor, they would not now be frightened of a fifteen year old boy who has set up a pro democracy movement. Neither rain, nor light is afraid of an umbrella.
Bad governance by scientists is telling too. Not so much in matters of state, but in matters of collection of data. There is a need for an independent review of temperature data. At the moment, AGW hysterics who call themselves scientists are making outrageous claims unsupported by verifiable facts. Meanwhile some politicians in the ACT jokingly fund a play to kill climate deniers. Terrorists are so poor they could only send twenty million dollars to terrorists while collecting benefits meant for the poor. Compare that with good companies maligned by the press who claim they don't pay tax. Companies do pay tax. Lots of it. It helps fund the great lifestyle Australians enjoy.
ABC approves Goulburn jail riot and feels it isn't notable. Prisoners calling 'Allahu Akbar' while rioting are not a traditional part of Islamic culture that ABC needs to protect, but connected with Islamo Fascism that ABC needs to expose. Quentin Dempster blames mental illness on ABC Programming. Sounds right. ABC choose a left wing incompetent to be a regular commentator on federal politics, Paul Bongiorno, who failed when he was boosted by The Bolt Report in 2013.

From 2013
Prime Minister of Australia Tony Abbott is consistent and has a good record. Yet lies told to the press are coming home to roost .. and the journalists who spread the lies, seeing that the lies have no substance, are now claiming Abbott has changed. Abbott has not changed, the journalists who reported on him claiming he was misogynistic, aggressive, dismissive, thoughtless, and lacking compassion are wrong. One highly lauded liar is Malcolm Farr, political editor of the Daily Telegraph. Farr tweeted today Abbott had taken a softly softly approach to policy direction, but that only obscures the fact that Farr was pro ALP and spread their lies and memes which, now Abbott is PM, is clearly seen to be untrue. Another highly lauded liar is Julia Gillard, who sadly has broken her gift of silence she made to the ALP and claims misogyny has ruined her stewardship as PM. The truth is incompetence on her part prevented Gillard from making a single good decision for the nation's welfare.
Abbott is a conservative, his approach to the issue of global warming is consistent with that. Even if it were the case the hysterical IPCC prognosis of climate change was true, the best way to address it is to maintain a strong industry for the time that a solution is found. One solution Australia should embrace is nuclear power. However, that is at odds with another scare run by the ALP.
In contrast to Abbott there is Obama. Obama is a liar and failure in policy areas. The US debt under Obama has reached $17 trillion US. When the US debt was $6 trillion US under Bush, Obama had said it was a sign of weak leadership. Mr Bush, please, come back. We need a leader like you for the US.

View today's reading on Bible Gateway
Today's Old Testament reading: Isaiah 9-10
1 Nevertheless, there will be no more gloom for those who were in distress. In the past he humbled the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, but in the future he will honor Galilee of the nations, by the Way of the Sea, beyond the Jordan—
2 The people walking in darkness
have seen a great light;
on those living in the land of deep darkness
a light has dawned.
3 You have enlarged the nation
and increased their joy;
they rejoice before you
as people rejoice at the harvest,
as warriors rejoice
when dividing the plunder.
4 For as in the day of Midian’s defeat,
you have shattered
the yoke that burdens them,
the bar across their shoulders,
the rod of their oppressor.
5 Every warrior’s boot used in battle
and every garment rolled in blood
will be destined for burning,
will be fuel for the fire....
Today's New Testament reading: Ephesians 3
God’s Marvelous Plan for the Gentiles
1 For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for the sake of you Gentiles—
2 Surely you have heard about the administration of God’s grace that was given to me for you, 3 that is, the mystery made known to me by revelation, as I have already written briefly. 4In reading this, then, you will be able to understand my insight into the mystery of Christ, 5 which was not made known to people in other generations as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to God’s holy apostles and prophets. 6 This mystery is that through the gospel the Gentiles are heirs together with Israel, members together of one body, and sharers together in the promise in Christ Jesus....
=== Morning and Evening ===
=
Morning
It is not left to our own option whether we shall praise God or not. Praise is God's most righteous due, and every Christian, as the recipient of his grace, is bound to praise God from day to day. It is true we have no authoritative rubric for daily praise; we have no commandment prescribing certain hours of song and thanksgiving: but the law written upon the heart teaches us that it is right to praise God; and the unwritten mandate comes to us with as much force as if it had been recorded on the tables of stone, or handed to us from the top of thundering Sinai. Yes, it is the Christian's duty to praise God. It is not only a pleasurable exercise, but it is the absolute obligation of his life. Think not ye who are always mourning, that ye are guiltless in this respect, or imagine that ye can discharge your duty to your God without songs of praise. You are bound by the bonds of his love to bless his name so long as you live, and his praise should continually be in your mouth, for you are blessed, in order that you may bless him; "this people have I formed for myself, they shall show forth my praise"; and if you do not praise God, you are not bringing forth the fruit which he, as the Divine Husbandman, has a right to expect at your hands. Let not your harp then hang upon the willows, but take it down, and strive, with a grateful heart, to bring forth its loudest music. Arise and chant his praise. With every morning's dawn, lift up your notes of thanksgiving, and let every setting sun be followed with your song. Girdle the earth with your praises; surround it with an atmosphere of melody, and God himself will hearken from heaven and accept your music.
"E'en so I love thee, and will love,
And in thy praise will sing,
Because thou art my loving God,
And my redeeming King."
Evening
"A living dog is better than a dead lion."
Ecclesiastes 9:4
Ecclesiastes 9:4
Life is a precious thing, and in its humblest form it is superior to death. This truth is eminently certain in spiritual things. It is better to be the least in the kingdom of heaven than the greatest out of it. The lowest degree of grace is superior to the noblest development of unregenerate nature. Where the Holy Ghost implants divine life in the soul, there is a precious deposit which none of the refinements of education can equal. The thief on the cross excels Caesar on his throne; Lazarus among the dogs is better than Cicero among the senators; and the most unlettered Christian is in the sight of God superior to Plato. Life is the badge of nobility in the realm of spiritual things, and men without it are only coarser or finer specimens of the same lifeless material, needing to be quickened, for they are dead in trespasses and sins.
A living, loving, gospel sermon, however unlearned in matter and uncouth in style, is better than the finest discourse devoid of unction and power. A living dog keeps better watch than a dead lion, and is of more service to his master; and so the poorest spiritual preacher is infinitely to be preferred to the exquisite orator who has no wisdom but that of words, no energy but that of sound. The like holds good of our prayers and other religious exercises; if we are quickened in them by the Holy Spirit, they are acceptable to God through Jesus Christ, though we may think them to be worthless things; while our grand performances in which our hearts were absent, like dead lions, are mere carrion in the sight of the living God. O for living groans, living sighs, living despondencies, rather than lifeless songs and dead calms. Better anything than death. The snarlings of the dog of hell will at least keep us awake, but dead faith and dead profession, what greater curses can a man have? Quicken us, quicken us, O Lord!

=== Message ===
===
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)
