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

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

An autobiography with short story collections.
I'm known in Australia for my failure as a whistleblower over the negligence death of a school boy. I had reported the issue responsibly and had not known I'd blown the whistle. The embarrassed left wing government had responded by imposition of a nationwide ban on the use of peanut butter in canteens, despite failing to address the issue of peanut allergy appropriately.
I've been de-platformed on Facebook and twitter despite not being an activist. Twitter did not like me asking for Obama to face justice in 2011. FB gave no specific reason for removing me following Jan 6th 2021 in Washington DC where a policeman killed an unarmed woman, so a crowd would know he was in control.

Australia moves towards an election federally. And the director of the Liberal Party infuriates me, asking me for money to support his AGW hucksterism that isn't as bad as the ALP one. It still is not good policy.
Today, 25th Sept 2021 I carry fake news
The fake news comes from a left wing site called "The Hill"
In the article on the Arizona draft Audit into 2020 election fraudulently given Biden, we are told there were no accidents and that a simple vote count shows Biden won. However, the simple vote count does not show that at all. It shows that the voter fraud was wilful and deliberate. It shows that the parties behind the fraud covered their tracks. Now for the parts of the audit that have been opposed. A check of signatures. The system data showing when and how votes were cast. That will take longer because the investigation has been impeded.
A successful withdrawal was what was engineered at Gallipolli, where, over three days troops pulled out of defended positions and left on ships .. nobody died. That was war. Nobody was left behind. Because of the failure, WW1 was prolonged another two and a half years, Russia collapsed etc etc. The price of failure was big. But the retreat was a success. In contrast, Biden's retreat was utter failure in Afghanistan.
Editorial on Covid policy failure
It is apparent COVID policy is political, not health related. However health advice has been political and not health related. Public health has been corrupted. Media has failed. Judiciary is corrupt. Defence is incompetent. The thin blue line has been cut. And, elder abuse is apparent from the Presidential office through to the ordinary NYC retirement home. On the plus side, there is an emerging possibility of an empty gesture securing the white house for womyn on behalf of one raised in Canada. Dan Andrews' lockdown has cancelled AA meetings. Go the beers. Playgrounds have been shut down state wide and even a curfew has been re-imposed. There is no science showing any such measure addresses COVID, but we know it allows the government to assert authority.

Editorial Biden's Afghan failure culminated from Obama's Afghan lies
Afghanistan is in flames as Biden begins bombing runs on terrorists as he seeks to negotiate with them. US soldiers have been killed after a strategic error left an exposed airport the only means of Americans and their allies to flee. Biden says those that remained behind wanted to, after fleeing Afghans clinging to a wing and fuselage of an aircraft plummet to their deaths. After Biden had said the Afghan government would stand following US withdrawal. US left behind billions of dollars of weapons Chicago gangs look on with shock and awe. The Taliban will not use a fleet of Blackhawk helicopters. China will.
So who is responsible for the failure? According to Biden, the buck stops with him, and he views it as a Dunkirk like success, when he is not looking at his watch waiting for mourning to end of soldiers that died in his service. Biden also feels any mistake was made by Donald Trump as NK begins nuclear weapons work. The US military have included critical junior officers in their lists of personal pronouns for enemies. What is a personal pronoun for a failed President?
Editorial on God In answer to Dinesh Dsousa's article
The God the atheists refute is not real, but is a ridiculous, impossible figure. God is real. God as He is revealed in the Bible is a fact. However, as ridiculous as the atheists arguments are, they are instructive. God made a bridge He could not cross (man's rejection of Him). God bridged that gap with Jesus. Thing is, atheists don't believe that that gap is real.
In my Sermon on a Miracle I describe how God gave a childless woman who could not bear children, prayed for children, family. He did that. And he did not use supernatural measures.
God is real. God does the impossible. God is not subject to our demands. God answers prayer. Sometimes bad people prosper for a time. All those statements are true.
God is worthy of praise. Atheists don't see it, but they have countless examples of it, from their own lives to the works of those they admire. In the Revelations of the Holy Spirit I underscore and outline some of what God does that even atheists call for.
We need god, but even in a world without God, there is a need for Him.

From the Bible, Philippians 2
Imitating Christ’s Humility
Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind. Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.
In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:
Who, being in very nature God,
did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage;
rather, he made himself nothing
by taking the very nature of a servant,
being made in human likeness.
And being found in appearance as a man,
he humbled himself
by becoming obedient to death—
even death on a cross!
Therefore God exalted him to the highest place
and gave him the name that is above every name,
that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.
Do Everything Without Grumbling
Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed—not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence—continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose.
Do everything without grumbling or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, “children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation.” Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky as you hold firmly to the word of life. And then I will be able to boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor in vain. But even if I am being poured out like a drink offering on the sacrifice and service coming from your faith, I am glad and rejoice with all of you. So you too should be glad and rejoice with me.
Timothy and Epaphroditus
I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, that I also may be cheered when I receive news about you. I have no one else like him, who will show genuine concern for your welfare. For everyone looks out for their own interests, not those of Jesus Christ. But you know that Timothy has proved himself, because as a son with his father he has served with me in the work of the gospel. I hope, therefore, to send him as soon as I see how things go with me. And I am confident in the Lord that I myself will come soon.
But I think it is necessary to send back to you Epaphroditus, my brother, co-worker and fellow soldier, who is also your messenger, whom you sent to take care of my needs. For he longs for all of you and is distressed because you heard he was ill. Indeed he was ill, and almost died. But God had mercy on him, and not on him only but also on me, to spare me sorrow upon sorrow. Therefore I am all the more eager to send him, so that when you see him again you may be glad and I may have less anxiety. So then, welcome him in the Lord with great joy, and honor people like him, because he almost died for the work of Christ. He risked his life to make up for the help you yourselves could not give me.

Don't give up on hope. The Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) is fighting to prevent being balanced. The government has a plan to change the ABC act, to force the broadcaster to spread its laser like focus on left wing ideals. But the ABC is not progressive. Her comics will promote corruption which has school children saying things like "I hope President Trump chokes and dies, or is poisoned" ABC legitimises abuse tropes against anyone she disagrees with. That has to change. Those sentiments were from year 5 kids at two separate institutions. And the sentiments are notably disseminated on the ABC to children.
Michelle Obama resorts to racism to give her thoughts on GOP leadership. This highlights why her husband failed as President across two terms, dividing USA by race. Division which is apparent in Europe too, where socialist policies fail to address basic needs of citizens.

On this day in 1973, Israel endured an unprovoked attack from Egypt and Syria called the Yom Kippur war, as it started on a public holiday for Israel. For the first three days, Israel held their position. Then they made incursions deep into Syria and Egypt and by the 22nd October the UN had to step in to prevent Israel from further humiliating Soviet backed troops. The post WW2 Egyptian army had been modernised by a Hitler supporter, Otto Skorzeny, and Syria by Alois Brunner. Otto had been behind the Odessa File and worked for the CIA as an asset. Another Nazi product was Yassir Arafat. The tactics they employed against Israel had been developed as Werwölfe as well as conventional tactics. It is why aircraft were hijacked in the 1960's and '70s as a Palestinian tactic.
It is also worth noting that Nazis exploited environmentalism in much the same way environmentalists do today. And the terrible blackout of South Australia is only a beginning of energy policy that is expensive and ineffective.

Last year, Peter Costello wrote “Alienation” and “disadvantage” simply cannot explain why jihadist Numan Haider tried to kill two Melbourne police officers:
What Costello wrote then is true now. Only many foolish people are wanting to fight a different battle to what is described. To them, it is important to characterise the fight between Islam and the West. They believe the West would win such a fight. But they don't really want that bigger fight. They just want to vent against political correctness. But political correctness hampers the fight against Jihadism, the fight we have is not against political correctness, but jihadism. And Costello is right, their victim mentality does not stand up to scrutiny.
We are not defenceless, who live in civilised society. But our tools aren't working for us at the moment. How would it be if a Journalist asked the jihadi's mother "How does it feel that your son brought Islam into disrepute?" No journalist would hesitate were they asking a similar question of a disgraced conservative. Or, how about asking one of the many impotent leaders "Why is it your people are allowed to bring Islam into disrepute?" How long could the impotent leader stand the smirks of their underlings? Of course we know the answer regarding the leaders, they are impotent (as Allah meant them to be?). We also know the mother's truthful reply is she doesn't really care for Islam, her children are devout ones. We must remember the jihadis are disgraceful.
The battle against Jihadism will not be won by sarcasm, or by abrogation of responsibility. We must not accept the lie that it is inevitable. But we need Islamic peoples to end it. And that won't happen while Turnbull refuses to face the issue. Turnbull, the great communicator. Who has seized the PM's position from an effective PM, probably with Costello's help.
For some, at the moment, the Sex Party has more credibility.
The trouble with explanations like this is that the facts get in the way. The family of Numan Haider left Afghanistan to migrate to Australia. Under the Taliban, Afghanistan was a hardline Islamic state. Coming to Australia meant getting away from that.===
And Australia was good to the family. They have a very nice house in a good suburb. The children received a good education. The taxpayers of Australia were pretty good to Numan Haider with schooling and services. The family lived in security and freedom — a lot more than Islamic State would ever give to a minority ethnic or religious group....
Deakin University student Tahmid Mirza, a jihadi propagandist and supporter of Islamic State, was quoted in the weekend press explaining why he has rejected this country, a country that gave him a home and an education: “… many Muslims have been harassed, betrayed and in fact lied to by the government and the so-called ‘security’ intelligence.”
In other words, he is a victim… The victims here are not the Yazidis of Northern Iraq facing genocide and extermination. The real victims are those who were taken in by Australia, given a home, healthcare, a free education and subsidised university places… This idea that Australia’s treatment of Muslims is to blame for terrorism is so fanciful you would wonder how anyone could believe it. But it is standard-issue opinion among university academics, ABC journalists and Greens senators. They act on the principle that “My enemy’s enemy is my friend”. Since they don’t like open liberal Western capitalist society, they feel natural support for those who regard themselves as at war with Western civilisation. The brutality of Islamic State does not seem to worry them nearly so much as the imagined “brutality” of the Australian Government.
What Costello wrote then is true now. Only many foolish people are wanting to fight a different battle to what is described. To them, it is important to characterise the fight between Islam and the West. They believe the West would win such a fight. But they don't really want that bigger fight. They just want to vent against political correctness. But political correctness hampers the fight against Jihadism, the fight we have is not against political correctness, but jihadism.

Issue of Islamic Alienation feeding Jihadism
Former treasurer Peter Costello has written compellingly on the myth of Islamic alienation feeding jihadism. The narrative provided by Fairfax Press or ABC has it that oppressed Islamic peoples in Western culture are driven to jihad to assert their values. Impotent Islamic leaders employ such rhetoric to feed their hold on power, and often embrace values expressed by terrorists. But many known western jihadists were not oppressed, but fed on a diet of welfare, higher education and entitlement entwined with victimhood. Living a great life of travel, big houses, expensive cars that they would never have imagined while working in their own nations of Pakistan, Afghanistan et al. Meanwhile we have enemies of ISIL claiming that ISIL are using US manufactured weapons given to them through aid. And we have the UN feeding victimhood by giving special rules for some. Palestinian refugees are not given the citizenship of the nations they are born in, unlike refugees elsewhere in the world, meaning that generations can call themselves refugees when they are not.
Issue of alienation feeding unrest
Van Gogh's letter to a relative at age 27, ten years before his death, is compelling. He had achieved nothing and despaired of contributing to his world, but he was a man of passion. He recognised his weaknesses, but he persevered. At 27 he could not draw well. But by age 37 he was one of the greatest artists ever. Greatness needs perseverance. But the narrative of alienation fed by Fairfax media and the ABC is debilitating. We have a stolen generation myth which prevents good people of responsibly raising children, but allows the exploitation of children by evil people. We have entitled people taking and resenting ever being asked to give anything. We have people who use race to prevent justifying bad behaviour. When the government tries to help people exercise essential work skills, we have do gooders prevent them.
Mixed issues
A royal commission which is investigating what the ABC denied was there, is asking for an extension to collect more information, having too much and needing more time to find out how the construction industry has been impeded by Union corruption. A budget fix which is needed to restore balance is being blocked by the Greens, ALP and PUP, none of which have a policy addressing the issue. AGW hysterics gloomily face the fact that heating is not being hidden in the ocean either. The media are very keen to inflate the issue of Hillsong, Frank Houston and a serial pedophile allegation. Is there evidence of systemic corruption? None has been presented as yet. Finally there is a sad case of a she male murdered by her boyfriend, a chef. She had worked as a prostitute to send money back home to Indonesia.

But many known western jihadists were not oppressed, but fed on a diet of welfare, higher education and entitlement entwined with victimhood. Living a great life of travel, big houses, expensive cars that they would never have imagined while working in their own nations of Pakistan, Afghanistan et al. Meanwhile we have enemies of ISIL claiming that ISIL are using US manufactured weapons given to them through aid. And we have the UN feeding victimhood by giving special rules for some. Palestinian refugees are not given the citizenship of the nations they are born in, unlike refugees elsewhere in the world, meaning that generations can call themselves refugees when they are not.
Issue of alienation feeding unrest
Van Gogh's letter to a relative at age 27, ten years before his death, is compelling. He had achieved nothing and despaired of contributing to his world, but he was a man of passion. He recognised his weaknesses, but he persevered. At 27 he could not draw well. But by age 37 he was one of the greatest artists ever. Greatness needs perseverance. But the narrative of alienation fed by Fairfax media and the ABC is debilitating. We have a stolen generation myth which prevents good people of responsibly raising children, but allows the exploitation of children by evil people. We have entitled people taking and resenting ever being asked to give anything. We have people who use race to prevent justifying bad behaviour. When the government tries to help people exercise essential work skills, we have do gooders prevent them.
Mixed issues
A royal commission which is investigating what the ABC denied was there, is asking for an extension to collect more information, having too much and needing more time to find out how the construction industry has been impeded by Union corruption. A budget fix which is needed to restore balance is being blocked by the Greens, ALP and PUP, none of which have a policy addressing the issue. AGW hysterics gloomily face the fact that heating is not being hidden in the ocean either. The media are very keen to inflate the issue of Hillsong, Frank Houston and a serial pedophile allegation. Is there evidence of systemic corruption? None has been presented as yet. Finally there is a sad case of a she male murdered by her boyfriend, a chef. She had worked as a prostitute to send money back home to Indonesia.
From 2013
The response of the press is slow to it, but the US is spending too much money on many things it doesn't need. The response of Obama is to raise spending and cut some things the US needs. Ridiculously, federal employees are impeding sightseers so as to prove how essential is the work they are not doing. But while they are not working, they know they will still be paid. Obama is being paid anyways. Some say the President gets paid too much. I disagree. A good President could be paid ten times more and still be worth more. A bad President could be paid nothing and still be an impost on the people.
The response of the press is slow to it, but NSW Opposition leader John Robertson owes the people of NSW, and the ICAC, an explanation of why he did not report a $3 million bribe by the assassinated McGurk. McGurk was apparently assassinated on the order of an ALP financier, and now that death looks, well, suspicious. One can imagine the conversation McGurk had with Robertson over the land Robertson did not own while McGurk was trying to spend $30 million. "Mate, I'll give you 10% to let the deal proceed. It is a good offer." "McGurk! I'm shocked! Obeid has got many more millions for saying no. Anyway, you don't pay me! You pay the slush fund .. get it? The slush fund!"
The press have been admirably quick in the wedding fee charged to taxpayers through expense accounts by members of parliament who were doing their parliamentary duty at said weddings. Unless those weddings were ALP junket trips .. those ones are fair game. As the ALP motto goes, "respect the slush fund"

Today's Old Testament reading: Isaiah 26-27
A Song of Praise
1 In that day this song will be sung in the land of Judah:
We have a strong city;
God makes salvation
its walls and ramparts.
2 Open the gates
that the righteous nation may enter,
the nation that keeps faith.
3 You will keep in perfect peace
those whose minds are steadfast,
because they trust in you.
4 Trust in the LORD forever,
for the LORD, the LORD himself, is the Rock eternal.
5 He humbles those who dwell on high,
he lays the lofty city low;
he levels it to the ground
and casts it down to the dust.
6 Feet trample it down—
the feet of the oppressed,
the footsteps of the poor....
God makes salvation
its walls and ramparts.
2 Open the gates
that the righteous nation may enter,
the nation that keeps faith.
3 You will keep in perfect peace
those whose minds are steadfast,
because they trust in you.
4 Trust in the LORD forever,
for the LORD, the LORD himself, is the Rock eternal.
5 He humbles those who dwell on high,
he lays the lofty city low;
he levels it to the ground
and casts it down to the dust.
6 Feet trample it down—
the feet of the oppressed,
the footsteps of the poor....
Today's New Testament reading: Philippians 2
Imitating Christ’s Humility
1 Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, 2 then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind. 3 Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, 4 not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.
5 In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:
6 Who, being in very nature God,
did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage;
7 rather, he made himself nothing
by taking the very nature of a servant,
being made in human likeness.
8 And being found in appearance as a man,
he humbled himself
by becoming obedient to death—
even death on a cross!
did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage;
7 rather, he made himself nothing
by taking the very nature of a servant,
being made in human likeness.
8 And being found in appearance as a man,
he humbled himself
by becoming obedient to death—
even death on a cross!

Morning
He who is a believer in Jesus finds enough in his Lord to satisfy him now, and to content him for evermore. The believer is not the man whose days are weary for want of comfort, and whose nights are long from absence of heart-cheering thought, for he finds in religion such a spring of joy, such a fountain of consolation, that he is content and happy. Put him in a dungeon and he will find good company; place him in a barren wilderness, he will eat the bread of heaven; drive him away from friendship, he will meet the "friend that sticketh closer than a brother." Blast all his gourds, and he will find shadow beneath the Rock of Ages; sap the foundation of his earthly hopes, but his heart will still be fixed, trusting in the Lord. The heart is as insatiable as the grave till Jesus enters it, and then it is a cup full to overflowing. There is such a fulness in Christ that he alone is the believer's all. The true saint is so completely satisfied with the all-sufficiency of Jesus that he thirsts no more--except it be for deeper draughts of the living fountain. In that sweet manner, believer, shalt thou thirst; it shall not be a thirst of pain, but of loving desire; thou wilt find it a sweet thing to be panting after a fuller enjoyment of Jesus' love. One in days of yore said, "I have been sinking my bucket down into the well full often, but now my thirst after Jesus has become so insatiable, that I long to put the well itself to my lips, and drink right on." Is this the feeling of thine heart now, believer? Dost thou feel that all thy desires are satisfied in Jesus, and that thou hast no want now, but to know more of him, and to have closer fellowship with him? Then come continually to the fountain, and take of the water of life freely. Jesus will never think you take too much, but will ever welcome you, saying, "Drink, yea, drink abundantly, O beloved."
Evening
Strange choice of Moses, but how much more strange the choice of him who is a prophet like unto Moses, and greater than he! Our Lord, who is fair as the lily, has entered into marriage union with one who confesses herself to be black, because the sun has looked upon her. It is the wonder of angels that the love of Jesus should be set upon poor, lost, guilty men. Each believer must, when filled with a sense of Jesus' love, be also overwhelmed with astonishment that such love should be lavished on an object so utterly unworthy of it. Knowing as we do our secret guiltiness, unfaithfulness, and black-heartedness, we are dissolved in grateful admiration of the matchless freeness and sovereignty of grace. Jesus must have found the cause of his love in his own heart, he could not have found it in us, for it is not there. Even since our conversion we have been black, though grace has made us comely. Holy Rutherford said of himself what we must each subscribe to--"His relation to me is, that I am sick, and he is the Physician of whom I stand in need. Alas! how often I play fast and loose with Christ! He bindeth, I loose; he buildeth, I cast down; I quarrel with Christ, and he agreeth with me twenty times a day!" Most tender and faithful Husband of our souls, pursue thy gracious work of conforming us to thine image, till thou shalt present even us poor Ethiopians unto thyself, without spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing. Moses met with opposition because of his marriage, and both himself and his spouse were the subjects of an evil eye. Can we wonder if this vain world opposes Jesus and his spouse, and especially when great sinners are converted? for this is ever the Pharisee's ground of objection, "This man receiveth sinners." Still is the old cause of quarrel revived, "Because he had married an Ethiopian woman."

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)
