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
It is US election season and the Dem machine spun effectively, but the people's will asserted dominance in a few places. In one place, Virginia, The Governor, Lt Governor and Attorney General were all elected GOP. Nationally, the Democrats campaigned on calling anyone conservative racist. Apparently, unless one owns a pet black or hispanic, one begins dressing as a KKK or white supremacist. How the Dem media cabal know this is not explained, but it is worth noting there is a picture of the Dem campaigning for Virginia governor either dressed in black face or as a KKK, nobody knows which, for a party without pets. However, so called conservative media agrees the reason why the Dem campaigner failed so badly was for telling parents they had no rights in educating their own children, or in vaccinating their own children against something that is not a threat to them.
The stunning Virginia success was copied in NJ, without the success. NJ was better geared to exploiting voter fraud. A senior senator for Dems lost to an independent trucker, before 'discovering' tens of thousands of votes post election. At least one respected pollster had projected an 11% win to Dems in NJ. The pollster apologised to GOP following. But it is another example of voter suppression. There is no excuse for a representative sample to be so out of step with the modified census. If GOP maintain the ascendancy to next year's election, they will rout Democrats in the mid terms. But only in swing states with balanced election laws allowing free and fair elections. Even iin Florida there will still be Dem controlled counties that will impede free and fair elections.
Durham Prosecution established by Barr under Trump is claiming more results with evidence of what was already known. FBI prosecuted the Trump campaign and administration while knowing that the evidence used to justify the investigation was bogus. FBI knew that Clinton had paid for the fake Steele dossier. and yet they threw advisers to Trump in jail on trumped up charges. When it was discovered what the cabal had done, FBI has stymied investigation. It is now apparent that FBI embedded itself during the riots of 2020 with a view to challenging Trump at election.
The Rittenhouse Trial is supposed to finish Friday 12th November, but the revelations from discovery and trial are breath taking. Rittenhouse is innocent of anything from the incident, except breaking a curfew that rioters were allowed to ignore. It turns out the US's longest serving mayor, a Democrat, was exploiting the riots and Rittenhouse, who may have been killed by any of many mayoral accomplices, survived partly by luck. It has been discovered that the FBI had video surveillance, and they deleted an HD version, possibly because it revealed many FBI agents among the rioters. Of three people Rittenhouse needed to shoot to avoid death, all were known to law in a bad way. Press had claimed Rittenhouse shot three people at random. Shooting at random in a Democrat based riot one might choose out of any three an armed felon, a wife beater and a recently released violent schizophrenic off their meds. Although the defence seems incompetent, the state's evidence appears to exonerate Rittenhouse.

The first woman elected to US Congress, Jeanette Rankin, was first elected on this day in 1916. She was again elected in 1940. As a Republican, she was foundational to the civil rights movement. She was a Suffragette. She was a pacifist. She never married and might have been gay. None of that precluded her from representation as a Republican. There is no evidence she was corrupt, so she could never have been a Democrat? Following her elections, US joined a world war. Maybe it is good she wasn't elected a third time? Interestingly, both US involvements in the wars involved a telegram, Mexico being invited to fight the US by Germany in WW1, and Japan signalling Pearl Harbour's attack. Neither time was the telegram anything to do with GOP, but both times Dem seized on them for war. Today, we are told that Biden would pay any invasion force $450k each.
Also on this day, Woodrow Wilson was re-elected as President, on the promise to not involve the US in the World War. He would change his mind, but found a way to involve black regiments as cannon fodder. He would send Robert Russa Moton as an observer of the black regiments, with a view to maintaining discipline. Moton, a grandson of a slaver who was later enslaved, would later align black peoples with Dems for the New Deal.

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.

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.

Former Obama deputy national security adviser Ben Rhodes admitted Monday that Joe Biden is already speaking with foreign leaders as if he is the next President, a move that some believe to be a breach of the Logan Act, the same law that President Trump’s former national security adviser Gen. Mike Flynn was prosecuted under.
Rhodes made the comments during an MSNBC interview in which he slammed Trump for contesting the election

Don't give up on hope. Channel 7 did a gotcha on Pauline Hanson regarding a sex shop owned by a candidate of One Nation, but not managed by them. Hanson was very good in saying she had been unaware of the issue, but would look at it. But the sniggering Channel 7 reporter pressed Hanson and the candidate on that issue alone. It is entirely possible the advertising quoted was acceptable within guidelines The journalist referred to a community standard. It would not be acceptable in a primary school where channel 7 has promoted Safe Schools which deliberately breaches community standards so as 'to end bullying.' Channel 7 are hoping such a gotcha will end support for One Nation in the Queensland election. I would like the electoral office to consider stripping the broadcaster of their license for blatant political harassment.
The other day, in Scott McNeil's double live Facebook cast interview, I answered a question on education and I want to streamline and broaden it. Education is too expensive atm with the focus not being on an excellent curriculum and students achieving standards, but an impossible big curriculum where students are hoped to have experiences. We allow a middle third band to miss out on 'basic skills' and drift, so that in some cases graduating students are not literate in any language and do not have sufficient skills to participate in the workforce. By remedial work with the lower middle third students, strong improvements can be made with the entire cohort as formerly weak students begin performing and 'evangelising' to their friends. The model works and is achievable in over 80% of Australian Schools. Some private schools already do this.
However, It is entirely feasible to broaden the model to other industries. For example the NBN. The worst part of the NBN is that it does not allow competition or even competence. Third parties that are nimble and agile will eat the NBN alive if protections are ever removed. The best way of dealing with the bad situation is to cut losses, and allow proper industry competition. As the Bush is probably impossible to connect via industry alone, it needs to be subsidised. But holding back cities is absurd.

Leonard Cohen has died aged 82, old and blessed. His life struggle was a form of classical Liberalism which many on the left may aspire to, but few understand. Cohen was a Zen Buddhist and a faithful Jew. It is worth reflecting on his life, his path was not an easy one, he was a poet. He had many relationships and children. But he wasn’t self absorbed or self destructive, so much as cognisant of the disparity between the dream of iconic love, and the fact of compromise. Everybody knows of what Cohen sang. It was personal, and explicit. The song Hallelujah took some five years for him to write, and includes many more verses than what are used in the variations sung. Cohen has given a gift of his legacy. His last album was “You want it darker.” And so it is.
Doing his bit from Melbourne on 3aw, Neil Mitchell interviews a Bernie Sanders supporter who claims he was a “Never Trump,” except “Never Trump” people are GOP supporters who oppose Trump. The idiot being interviewed was a Democrat supporter who felt Clinton had stolen preselection. She had. But that is no excuse for disrupting NYC in protest of President elect Trump. But that makes him interview material for Neil Mitchell who seems to go far to find people who don’t get Trump, but won’t interview someone who does. We are being told that the lesson of Brexit and the Trump election is that political elites need to listen to the average person. One gets the feeling that Mitchell never listens to the exceptional or gifted, and only really interviews himself or people that are safe for him. A little under half of all who voted supported Trump. Maybe Mitchell might interview one of them to get answers to his concerns.
IPA Review (Aug 2016) features an Elle Hardy article on “The Rise of Identity Politics” which is nominally about Trump but really about Bernie Sanders. Only the Trump platform and Sanders platform are very different. Trump’s base crosses the left right divide. Trump was on insider terms with left wing politicians, and his support helped fuel their corruption and helped make him rich. Trump is a neo con by literal definition. Trump aims to be pragmatic and will negotiate in a way one feels Libertarians should cheer if they understood him, instead of hating him. By way of contrast, Sanders is a carbon copy socialist who offers nothing beyond hyperbole. Sanders draws on a tradition of left wing ascendancy drawing on the peace movement of the sixties. There is no policy he has that would be successful, but spending a lot of money from tax must appeal to many. In gushing for Sanders, Elle got to quote Australian art critic Hughes. But to understand Trump, one need only see the slogans #MakeAmericaGreatAgain and #DrainTheSwamp Recognise Sanders is a swamp creature.

It is remembrance day in Australia. There is a poem read out at ceremonies everywhere at eleven am on the eleventh of the eleventh month. In 1918, the ceasefire for the first world war came into play. A US General lead an assault in the hours prior, killing over two hundred of his own men. Many died in the minutes leading up to the ceasefire. Some shortly after. War involves sacrifice and the poem reflects that. My Grandfather fought for England at the Somme, and was still fighting in 1918. He was in artillery, and tasked with working with the horses. He loved those horses and was bitten by the gambling bug. He served again in WW2, Australia, with Roden Cutler's mob in the middle east. The poem is "For the Fallen" by Laurence Binyon. Written in 1915.
Miranda Devine is a great journalist, like her dad. I rarely disagree with her, but have. Like when she openly criticised Mr Abbott for the same thing she praised John Key, in restoring knights and dames. But it probably isn't her opinion, but the opinion of many she is reporting. And it must be remembered that the chief difference between the two policies, one for NZ, one for Australia, is that Malcolm Turnbull was undermining the one in Australia. It was a good policy. Except for making the former governor general a dame, the choices were sound. But it was opposed for no good reason, and Devine joined in those cat calls.
For some, at the moment, the Sex Party has more credibility.

Remembrance Day
In cultural asset terms, today is one of the most important of the year. The 2013 tribute written below is worthy. However there are other modern events needing to be written about. Tasmanian PUP senator Lambie has publicly asked for people to turn their backs on conservative politicians at ceremonies honouring the day. Apparently few people did, if any. Lambie went to a service and participated. Nobody followed her suggestion there, and it seems hypocritical that she was there at all. She has claimed no conservative was at the ceremony she participated in and so saw no need to follow through with her own suggestion. Lambie's position on the soldiers getting a pay rise from the government in line with other public service rises is wrong headed. Soldiers deserve more pay, is a truth the government agrees with. The budget needs to be balanced is another truth Lambie has ignored, opposing reasonable budget cuts now, meaning larger cuts will be required in the future. Clive Palmer has distanced himself from that PUP on this issue. However, both are united in their intention to extract as much as they can from the government before passing any benefit to the economy. Only conservatives are addressing the budget deficit issue. Remembrance Day, remembering those fallen in war and the hope that war is ended forever is a cultural asset, but secular atheists are attacking the institution by ascribing secular as atheism and denying worship for believers. So a school celebration honouring Remembrance Day is cancelled because it is deemed too religious. It is hard to dispute that honouring the dead is religious, but a secular society embraces such events, because we all live together. To prevent the ceremony on the specious argument that some child of an atheist might find religion is irrelevant as that can happen regardless of any ceremony. The celebration itself is secular anyway and offers much to atheists too. Some who died in service to the state were atheists.
Delivering Hope and Change
Obama promised hope and change, and finally those mid terms suggest a deliverance. However his debt legacy won't disappear for generations. His policy on climate change was not implemented fully, but still cost billions of dollars tossed away, never to be retrieved. His decisions to support business badly has meant he has misallocated funds that will never be retrieved. Detroit will rise again, but it will have to endure deep fiscal pain before then. The GOP Hari Seldon's warned the people, but their foundation failed to avert the tragedy. Obama's skin colour is not the only symbol for hope and change, and although the media despise them, GOP have much hope and change to offer, backed with reality and offering prosperity, but only after the hurdles are negotiated. And debt is the crippling reality that must be faced. The empty, expensive global warming policy is highlighted by the snap cold which North America is again experiencing. Sydney's Daily Telegraph, a balanced paper having all points of view, including the left's various fantasies, has a story claiming Global Warming is to blame for the record cold. It kind of fits with the theology. Green faith has it that it is compassionate to drown poor desperate people that have been subjected to piracy by people smugglers. Or, that it is ok to kill rare birds if it is with a useless windmill or solar power station. Or, that it is wrong to FRACK but ok to use geothermal power which is based on the same techniques. For political expression, Greens will say anything, but graffiti labelling them 'morons' is apt.
Delivering hope and change from environmental menace is a burgeoning industry. One idiot suggests that eating cane toads will rid Australia of their menace. Them first. Another idiot suggests populating Tasmania, which is the size of Sri Lanka but a population smaller than a Sri Lankan city, with illegal boat people. The reasoning being that people living below the poverty line will bring money to a Tasmanian economy that is struggling.
ABC and Fairfax are left wings
Paul Keating is desperate to be loved, even as much as Robin Williams was. But Williams had talent. Keating struggles to be the same in ability as Wayne Swan was as treasurer. Both obstructed reform and made Australia slow down. Keating used a recession to slow the economy, Swan gave money to the corrupt. Keating got to be PM, Swan supported two PM's to the detriment of the nation out of party loyalty. But Keating can criticise another incompetent PM, Hawk, and it will be reported as news. Keating was party loyal to the inept too. But the ABC and Fairfax papers can be relied on to lovingly support both Keating and Swan. Ten years on and the ALP still don't understand a trade deal with China. There are ins and outs, but trade with a billion people expands the Australian market. A big difference between Australia and Texas, both with similar populations and industry profiles is market size. And the Texas economy is much bigger as a result. But the ABC and Fairfax will act to protect Shorten from criticism of his stance of ignorance. Penny Wong is joining in too, on radio national, having lost over a hundred and six billion dollars, Penny wants the world to know that ten years is not enough for her to understand a trade deal.
ABC lies to hit miners. Fairfax partisan and unhappy. ABC cuts too small. Good articles follow by Bolt and Blair. Also, more Islamic attacks around the world.
From 2013
Remembrance day affects people. Some have family connections with loss. Some not connected with a direct action, and yet all are part of a larger body which has endured loss. Endurance suggests continuity, and there is the rub. For we who stand, now is the time to reflect on those who cannot. Australians who participated in the First World War were volunteers. And yet not all so, for civilians got caught in the battles too. Some of the great poets of the age arose from the war. Some lost to it. All sacrificed much. Ginger Mick was a fictional character who asked for nothing from me. Yet I would give him his life if I could. He didn't want to be called a hero. Yet he died one.
What can be said in such a sacred day of former PM Paul Keating branding ALP with a speech writer's words to associate with Remembrance Day? He did not write those words "He is one of them. He is all of us" for the unknown soldier. ALP don't have a proud history of governance with serving troops. Sacrificing many in Singapore, abandoning POWs, Union strikes organised to hinder troops, shaming soldiers who chose to fight. In recent years, Australia has been involved in her longest armed conflict in Afghanistan. Six years under the conservatives, and six years under the ALP. Forty deaths under the ALP, none under the conservatives. It is a compelling soccer score for people like Keating who view lives as a game through which ALP must triumph in memory. Probably it best to view Keating in paraphrased terms "He is one of them, against all of us"
Australian troops achieved much in WW1, but were quite humble. They didn't treasure awards, possibly disgusted at the reality and the cost which such things entailed. And what award compensates for the loss? I thank those who were awarded. They definitely earned it. As did many who never were given one. Some complain of the atrocities committed. Such things happen in war, but overwhelmingly, Australians fought with honour. I write 'Australians' and many might point out so many weren't, being from NZ, England, South Africa, PNG, India .. I know not the full allegiance, but I give them this gift. For the war ended at 11am on the 11th day of the 11th month on 1918. Today, Australia has wounds from her local petty battles. We don't really know who is ridgy didge. Our future is clouded. And yet in freedom and liberty, we rule. People come to our land from places thousands of years rich in history. Risking all. Because of the sacrifice of those soldiers. They might not have had Australia in mind, and yet they gave her this rich gift. A bowl, drenched in their blood, giving us a drink of hope for tomorrow.
