Bairnsdale Conservative: Sat 30th October 2021 Current Affairs

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.

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.

Intro to Locals.com

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, 2 Timothy 3

But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people.

They are the kind who worm their way into homes and gain control over gullible women, who are loaded down with sins and are swayed by all kinds of evil desires, always learning but never able to come to a knowledge of the truth. Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so also these teachers oppose the truth. They are men of depraved minds, who, as far as the faith is concerned, are rejected. But they will not get very far because, as in the case of those men, their folly will be clear to everyone.

A Final Charge to Timothy

You, however, know all about my teaching, my way of life, my purpose, faith, patience, love, endurance, persecutions, sufferings—what kinds of things happened to me in Antioch, Iconium and Lystra, the persecutions I endured. Yet the Lord rescued me from all of them. In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted, while evildoers and impostors will go from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived. But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it, and how from infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.

Barack Obama dragged out his greatest hits Tuesday in a stump speech for his former vice president, Joe Biden, in Orlando, Florida, but his platitudes about prosperity and good governance rang hollow, given the Obama-Biden record.

One odd and recurring phrase in his approximately 40-minute remarks was “Joe and Kamala,” seemingly an admission that the soon-to-be-78-year-old Biden will not be the driving force in a Biden-Harris administration.

Via Glenn Greenwald's substack,

I am posting here the most recent draft of my article about Joe and Hunter Biden - the last one seen by Intercept editors before telling me that they refuse to publish it absent major structural changes involving the removal of all sections critical of Joe Biden, leaving only a narrow article critiquing media outlets. I will also, in a separate post, publish all communications I had with Intercept editors surrounding this article so you can see the censorship in action and, given the Intercept’s denials, decide for yourselves (this is the kind of transparency responsible journalists provide, and which the Intercept refuses to this day to provide regarding their conduct in the Reality Winner story). This draft obviously would have gone through one more round of proof-reading and editing by me - to shorten it, fix typos, etc - but it’s important for the integrity of the claims to publish the draft in unchanged form that Intercept editors last saw, and announced that they would not “edit” but completely gut as a condition to publication:

An attempt to assess the importance of the known evidence, and a critique of media lies to protect their favored candidate, could not be published at The Intercept

Nice terror attack: What we know about 21-year-old killer Brahim Aouissaoui

A full picture of the sick 21-year-old attacker who beheaded a woman and killed two others in Nice, France, is starting to emerge.

A 21-year-old man who recently arrived in Europe from Tunisia is behind the sickening terror attack at a church in the French Riviera city of Nice.

Brahim Aouissaoui has been identified as the man who beheaded a woman and killed two other people in a bloody rampage at the Basilica of Notre-Dame in the centre of the popular coastal tourist city at 9am local time on Thursday.

He entered the church with a large knife and reportedly decapitated a 60-year-old woman whose dying words were, “Tell my children that I love them”.

He stabbed to death the church’s 55-year-old sacristan — who is charge of taking care of the church — and left a third victim, a 44-year-old woman — so badly injured that she died from her wounds at a nearby restaurant having fled the gruesome scene.

More than 12 hours after his deadly attack, as night falls in Nice, details are emerging about the knifeman.

Coronavirus Australia live: Daniel Andrews social media post sparks backlash

A Twitter post made by Daniel Andrews announcing school graduations can recommence has resulted in unexpected backlash from furious Victorians.

A Twitter post made by Daniel Andrews on Thursday afternoon announcing school graduations can recommence has resulted in unexpected backlash from furious Victorians.

To announce the change, the Victorian premier posted a photo of his younger self having his bowtie fixed by his mum.

“Pleased to announce Year 6 and 12 graduations can go ahead,” he wrote. “Bowties optional.”

But the short post didn’t get the response he was hoping for, with hundreds of commenters blasting Mr Andrews for his handling of the pandemic.

“There’s 800 Victorians that won’t hear this news, but no doubt you have forgotten about them already,” one person wrote, referencing the people who had died during the state’s second COVID-19 wave.

“Bit late Dan Most schools have either graduated online or have made booking for an online graduation. Another half ass attempt to win over the state,” another person wrote.

“You could’ve announced this earlier in the week. Instead leaving it to a half ass post instead. Means nothing. Thanks for nothing.”

NSW-Victoria border won’t open before Christmas, Berejiklian says

Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews has hit out at comments made by NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian amid the ongoing border lifting discussion.

https://www.news.com.au/travel/travel-updates/health-safety/nswvictoria-border-wont-open-before-christmas-berejiklian-says/news-story/99bc8bb33f27b9ef7d7cd7c1a9638ca0

While the Prime Minister has pledged a reopening of Australian borders – bar Western Australia – by Christmas, NSW could keep its border closed until after December 25.

Back on July 7, Premier Gladys Berejiklian made the decision to close off NSW as cases began to escalate across Victoria, and it has remained closed ever since.

But now that lockdown measures have eased across the Melbourne and the rest of the Garden State, all eyes are on when Ms Berejiklian will reopen her state’s border with Victoria.

On Wednesday, 9News reported that NSW authorities were nervous about the prospect of a third wave in Melbourne, and would be waiting to make a decision on the border until after all systems in Victoria were properly tested.

According to the report, the “tests” would include getting a QR code in place at pubs and restaurants, seeing a reopening at Melbourne’s international airport, and introducing a functioning hotel quarantine system.

Don't give up on hope. disloyal party members are ruining it for everyone in the Liberal Party. They support awful Turnbull corruptions of policy, rather than sensible conservative policy. And it detracts from good government. ALP government is worse, as QLD shows. QLD is going to elections soon. But Malcolm Turnbull has to leave Australia to give the local Liberals a boost in Queensland. I had thought that the voters had threaded the needle when they killed the Liberal majority without electing ALP. But it looks like disloyal Liberal members will support Turnbull to oblivion.

Bad ALP administration causes problems. Tonight at Springvale Railway, waiting to catch a train to Dandenong, a loudspeaker message said that all trains between Dandenong and Oakley were cancelled and patrons would have to catch buses. Before I got to the stairs, the train pulled in and I caught it.

Waiting for the bus at Dandenong. Police were talking to a Sudanese guy who sounded loud and belligerent. He was apparently tossed off a bus which he reckoned was unfair. He accused the police of taking sides after they asked if he knew the guy who pushed him. He named the bus route. They asked if he was drunk, and he got more outraged, saying he was a student wanting to go home. He said he came from Zimbabwe and he liked Mugabe. And the police should go to Africa where Mugabe would talk with them. He kept mouthing off as he caught the same bus I caught.

I was told, in response to yesterday's posting on a faux wikipedia article alleging a massacre the press never heard of that Winston Churchill had given 78% of Palestine Mandate to the Saudis. I can't find details of that. Churchill lost the election after WW2 and so British Labor handled partition in 1948, causing bloodshed still seen today. More detail regarding Churchill and Jews can be found at this site. Jews don't want Jordan. They want Israel, including Jerusalem.

Only one pitcher did not give up a home run in Game 5 of MLB World Series between LAD and winning Astros. President George W Bush. It was a magnificent, see sawing game. It finished 13 to 12 in the tenth innings.

IPA Review features “Soviet Cybernetics” A Daniel Wild review of “How Not to Network a Nation: The Uneasy History of the Soviet Internet” by Benjamin Peters. The former Soviet Union attempted to install a computer network to overcome her planning problems. The network was of the type that Turnbull might have headed, without effecting change. It wasn’t technically feasible back in the day, but became so towards the end. But the network couldn’t be implemented from above in the effective way the West has implemented one through free commerce. When the West has diverged from the classic model, it has failed, like with NBN today, where a housing estate in central Melbourne’s Dandenong requires satellite to access the internet, or a special deal with Telstra for copper wire. The housing estate is about ten years old, and so will be the last place wired up.

The Soviets had planning tsars who felt threatened by a communications device which might supplant their expertise, and they opposed the monolith. Australia has much to learn from that as they build a monolith through central government. Commercial carriers can do it better in urban landscapes. But the outback needs the infrastructure and Government should provide it there.

One person who knows how to profit from central planning is Hillary Clinton. The Chicago Tribune is withdrawing support from her, and suggesting that Democrats replace Hillary. But corrupt news, like the Tribune, knew everything now known about Hillary as they supported her a day ago. Maybe they are only backing a tribe, but not a policy? And Maybe they want to find another crook.

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.

"For things to stay as they are, things will have to change."

A media journalist in the US, speaking discourteously to a GOP Presidential contender, denounces the contender for calling Hillary Clinton a liar. The contender points out he did not say that. He said she had lied and he described how. The disbelieving journalist disbelieved the public record and said it was a terrible accusation to make that Clinton had lied to help Obama at election. Quite so.

The media narrative does not explain why it is bad to drown people who want to migrate to Australia, or Europe. It does not explain why it is wrong to deny refugees places when desperate people can choose to be exploited by pirates. It does not explain why it was wrong for Clinton to blame a film maker for a jihadist attack when she had known Al Qaeda had assaulted a diplomatic mission and she had denied them help. Instead, media excuse such atrocities. They claim it is compassionate to siren call the drownings. They claim it is the law that allows pirates to exploit the desperate. They claim the CIA made Clinton dither and lie. Things don't have to change much to be totally different.

Will the new PM, Turnbull stand for what is right, as Mr Abbott habitually did?
For some, at the moment, the Sex Party has more credibility.

From 2014

"For things to stay as they are, things will have to change."

The magnificent former athlete, now senator Nova Perris has disturbingly done as Gillard and Thomson have done before her and addressed parliament about a tawdry affair. She has not said that the leaked emails which allege corruption are fabrications. She says she has not seen them. But she says they are not consistent with her views then and now, which suggests she has taken a very nuanced legal view. Unlike Thomson and Gillard she suggests a motive for the alleged fabrication and provides a believable account as to what has happened. Any person capable of fabricating emails with that detail must be disturbingly close to her, personally. It is telling that those supporting her have not given similar support to Sydney University poet Barry Spurr, but from the viewpoint of the NT News, their source must have presented them with sufficient verifiable facts to let them proceed over Nova, while Matilda have clearly failed to obtain sufficient facts to impugn Spurr.

Raising Jihadis in Lakemba as a channel 7 recording shows four children aged from six to thirteen parading as soldiers of the caliphate. The children promise to die fighting to end democracy in Australia. The event was organised by the Muslim Youth Project in Lakemba and suggests that that organisation and those involved should answer questions as to why they should be allowed to exist as a corporation, or be free. Senator Leyenjohn on 7:30 report says that the new anti terrorism laws will mean that people can be charged and arrested who might not under current legislation. Which sounds like the point.

An inquiry into a partisan weather bureau account has been called for by a National Party MP. One interesting study would be reporting of forecasts and record of actual temperatures, which rarely is other than cooler than those forecast. A hundred years ago and more, higher temperatures were being recorded. Yet the weather bureau claims that 2013 was the hottest on record without being able to substantiate it. Locally, it wasn't.

A danger Victoria could vote ALP with polls showing ALP will win. It is undeserved, without them ever addressing their apparent corruption or presenting a coherent set of policies. The danger is they could be elected with no agenda other than to be corrupt. Even today, they cost Victorians a lot of money from a desalination plant that was never needed.

Aid worker arrogantly demands to be treated different to public safety needs over Ebola. Many thanks to the aid worker sacrificing their time and money to make a difference in Africa, but they have been quarantined for a reason and should respect that.

"For things to stay as they are, things will have to change." Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa, who in The Leopard had Count Tancredi say that .. and Malcolm Turnbull brilliantly quotes it in parliament today.

MLB World Series update

Scoring 3 to 2, Giants take the series after San Francisco did what it does best by going against trend. Bumgarner became player of the series by keeping Kansas City Royals shut down on a one run deficit, after winning two other games. It is the third time Giants have won in five years.

From 2013

Professional activists, calling themselves students, menace conservative politicians to get your money. They throw shoes, eggs, rotten food stuffs, and are abusive in language as well. Naturally, media don't show the organiser's face book exhortations .. and FB doesn't have a problem maintaining it on site. Thing is, left don't argue, they abuse (yes, I'm aware it is a generalisation and there are some of the left who argue without resorting to abuse .. or going into fantasy land). The reason for that is that is what has been modelled. It is what works. Politicians and media elite have been doing that for a long time. There is an account of Horatio Nelson's experience in UK politics where he was a natural conservative but joined the Whigs because he wanted to be heard .. that is in 1800. There is a conservative press, but it is very weak in Australia and tends to suffer from 'balance' in the US where some ideas are accepted without question. Don't believe me? Ask yourself what you feel about historical left wing folly. If it is wrong to bomb civilians, what about the firebombing of German citizens in cities during WW2? What terrible things would the women and children have done to the war effort? Or the twice nuking of Japanese cities .. why not military targets? Why was Idi Amin, Pol Pot or any of many murderous tyrants not incarcerated for their crimes? Why is Al Gore free and lauded for his lies which cost the world $trillions .. how would media characterise a conservative who took $trillions from the world's poorest peoples? How about the prosecution of the Korean War? Vietnam? Historical events won't be changed, but crimes should be condemned. There is little point in overthrowing China or Vietnam by force now. But we can't accept piracy from them either.

Sometimes it seems the only thing a lefty will willingly bury is decency. Known unto God. Al Jazeera provides details about boat people meant to condemn Liberal policy .. but it backfires. If car manufacturers can't profitably manufacture cars in Australia they shouldn't be here. Same sex marriage can work if the policy doesn't infringe on churches .. they probably should not be state regulated anyway. But gay activists don't seem to care about the issue, so much as pushing an envelope. ALP are still struggling to work out why they lost .. some saying they could have won. Here is a hint, ALP are wrong about conservative policy .. and ALP corruption is disheartening for their supporters. Two wonderful articles follow, one on how the US stimulus failed and the other shows Clive Palmer is a fool.

Today's Old Testament reading: Jeremiah 18-19

At the Potter’s House

¹ This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD: ²“Go down to the potter’s house, and there I will give you my message.” ³ So I went down to the potter’s house, and I saw him working at the wheel. ⁴ But the pot he was shaping from the clay was marred in his hands; so the potter formed it into another pot, shaping it as seemed best to him.

⁵ Then the word of the LORD came to me. ⁶ He said, “Can I not do with you, Israel, as this potter does?” declares the LORD. “Like clay in the hand of the potter, so are you in my hand, Israel. ⁷ If at any time I announce that a nation or kingdom is to be uprooted, torn down and destroyed, ⁸ and if that nation I warned repents of its evil, then I will relent and not inflict on it the disaster I had planned. ⁹ And if at another time I announce that a nation or kingdom is to be built up and planted,¹⁰ and if it does evil in my sight and does not obey me, then I will reconsider the good I had intended to do for it.

¹¹ “Now therefore say to the people of Judah and those living in Jerusalem, ‘This is what the LORD says: Look! I am preparing a disaster for you and devising a plan against you. So turn from your evil ways, each one of you, and reform your ways and your actions.’ ¹² But they will reply, ‘It’s no use. We will continue with our own plans; we will all follow the stubbornness of our evil hearts.’”

Today's New Testament reading: 2 Timothy 3

¹ But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. ²People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy,³ without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, ⁴ treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— ⁵having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people.

⁶ They are the kind who worm their way into homes and gain control over gullible women, who are loaded down with sins and are swayed by all kinds of evil desires, ⁷ always learning but never able to come to a knowledge of the truth. ⁸ Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so also these teachers oppose the truth. They are men of depraved minds, who, as far as the faith is concerned, are rejected. ⁹ But they will not get very far because, as in the case of those men, their folly will be clear to everyone....

Morning

"After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, etc."
Matthew 6:9

This prayer begins where all true prayer must commence, with the spirit of adoption, "Our Father." There is no acceptable prayer until we can say, "I will arise, and go unto my Father." This child-like spirit soon perceives the grandeur of the Father "in heaven," and ascends to devout adoration, "Hallowed be thy name." The child lisping, "Abba, Father," grows into the cherub crying, "Holy, Holy, Holy." There is but a step from rapturous worship to the glowing missionary spirit, which is a sure outgrowth of filial love and reverent adoration--"Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven." Next follows the heartfelt expression of dependence upon God--"Give us this day our daily bread." Being further illuminated by the Spirit, he discovers that he is not only dependent, but sinful, hence he entreats for mercy, "Forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors:" and being pardoned, having the righteousness of Christ imputed, and knowing his acceptance with God, he humbly supplicates for holy perseverance, "Lead us not into temptation." The man who is really forgiven, is anxious not to offend again; the possession of justification leads to an anxious desire for sanctification. "Forgive us our debts," that is justification; "Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil," that is sanctification in its negative and positive forms. As the result of all this, there follows a triumphant ascription of praise, "Thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory, forever and ever, Amen." We rejoice that our King reigns in providence and shall reign in grace, from the river even to the ends of the earth, and of his dominion there shall be no end. Thus from a sense of adoption, up to fellowship with our reigning Lord, this short model of prayer conducts the soul. Lord, teach us thus to pray.

Evening

"But their eyes were holden that they should not know him."
Luke 24:16

The disciples ought to have known Jesus, they had heard his voice so often, and gazed upon that marred face so frequently, that it is wonderful they did not discover him. Yet is it not so with you also? You have not seen Jesus lately. You have been to his table, and you have not met him there. You are in a dark trouble this evening, and though he plainly says, "It is I, be not afraid," yet you cannot discern him. Alas! our eyes are holden. We know his voice; we have looked into his face; we have leaned our head upon his bosom, and yet, though Christ is very near us, we are saying "O that I knew where I might find him!" We should know Jesus, for we have the Scriptures to reflect his image, and yet how possible it is for us to open that precious book and have no glimpse of the Wellbeloved! Dear child of God, are you in that state? Jesus feedeth among the lilies of the word, and you walk among those lilies, and yet you behold him not. He is accustomed to walk through the glades of Scripture, and to commune with his people, as the Father did with Adam in the cool of the day, and yet you are in the garden of Scripture, but cannot see him, though he is always there. And why do we not see him? It must be ascribed in our case, as in the disciples', to unbelief. They evidently did not expect to see Jesus, and therefore they did not know him. To a great extent in spiritual things we get what we expect of the Lord. Faith alone can bring us to see Jesus. Make it your prayer, "Lord, open thou mine eyes, that I may see my Saviour present with me." It is a blessed thing to want to see him; but oh! it is better far to gaze upon him. To those who seek him he is kind; but to those who find him, beyond expression is he dear!

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)
