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.

Weekly Jobless Claims Hit Lowest Level Since Marchhttps://bongino.com/weekly-jobless-claims-hit-lowest-level-since-march
- Jobless claims totaled 709,000 last week, the Labor Department reported, below the 740,000 Wall Street forecast.
- That represented a decline from the 757,000 total a week ago.
- More than 21 million Americans are still collecting benefits, though the total is declining gradually.
To clarify; weekly jobless claims are not on net basis – i.e. it doesn’t mean that there were 709,000 jobs lost last week – it means that 709,000 people filed for unemployment without accounting for how many people gained employment during the same time period. We don’t get the full picture until the jobs report is released on the first Friday of every month.

The Media’s Premature Coronationhttps://bongino.com/the-medias-premature-coronation
Apart from a few holdouts, everyone in the media is acting as if the final outcome of this year’s Presidential election is conclusively settled. A survey of headlines at The New York Times yesterday offers “Transition updates,” a “disinformation tracker” dedicated to smearing anything and anyone calling a Biden win into question, not to mention an article whose title begins, “The Election is Over, but…” alongside a piece talking about which segment of the population helped to deliver Biden a win. Today the Times upped the ante, and featured an allusion to President Trump behaving as a dictator because he is pursuing recounts and legal challenges in a close election. One has to read past the first four paragraphs—and an ad—before encountering the admission that “The parallel is not exact.” Other outlets have featured articles about whom Biden will pick for key cabinet positions, which executive orders he will issue, etc. All the mainstream media outlets—even Fox News—have been unified in referring to Joe Biden as the “President-elect,” and treating him accordingly.===

Don't give up on hope. Frankston bus depot at the railway station in Melbourne was given a $13 million refit by Dan Andrews as part of a multi billion dollar network upgrade. Typical of an Andrews project, planning failed and now buses intended for the network don't fit and more money is needed to fix the upgrade. That is why Andrews is raising taxes as his spending spirals out of control. That profligate spending is what Queensland ALP are campaigning on. Meanwhile the press are trying hard to diminish the LNP policy platform which is fiscally responsible and beneficial. The press are really worried that One Nation will gift power to the LNP. Traditionally, a vote for One Nation has meant increased support for ALP through the vagaries of the electoral system. Meanwhile a new One Nation senator has bailed within moments of being given the seat. And all the votes One Nation gained in getting that senator are now given to an independent. One struggles to think what One Nation has done to deserve that.
Peter Van Onselen has realised that backing Turnbull was a mistake. Turnbull was popular, but had no ability. Van Onselen wants the popular Bishop to replace Turnbull. She also has no ability. If Van Onselen were a Liberal member, he'd be a bedwetter. Abbott had been fighting the culture wars and looked like doing what Trump did in Abbott's second term, when Turnbull knifed Abbott. Turnbull has since led the Liberals into a ditch. And Tony Abbott might not want to be the punching bag again.

Media cheers in Orange the “Trump like” success of the Shooter’s Party. The same press that openly despise Trump’s agenda, and the Shooter Party’s agenda. And the National Party. The result has very little to do with anything international or broad Libertarian movements up-ending conservatism. It reflects a protest on two issues, one removed from Orange. Orange has been a Nationals strong hold for 70 years. Liberal party leader Mike Baird has responsibly cut service of alcohol hours in Kings Cross, and initiated closure proceedings against greyhound racing until he was assured that it could be policed. Press have been scathing about one punch attacks amongst drunks which have maimed and killed people, but when Baird passed the restrictions in Sydney’s Kings Cross, press campaigned against Baird. Similarly over Greyhounds Racing, press have campaigned against Baird, but not a word for victims of crime related to corruption within the industry. The industry had said it was ungovernable, then backflipped. Baird has been responsible, but not the jeering and cheering press. Nationals are suffering as a result. Do the papers really want a Shooters Party member? Ask your cameraman their views on gun ownership. Bring your licensed weapon.
IPA Review (Nov 2016) features a Chris Berg article “Progress on the fight to repeal 18c.” Section 18c of the racial discrimination act is appallingly bad legislation that seems to have the sole purpose of limiting free speech. During the entire existence of the law, made in 1975 under Whitlam, the law has been used to prosecute Christian Preachers whom have spoken to their congregation on their views of Islam. It has also been used to prosecute Andrew Bolt for articles on Aboriginal identification (Note, I’ve been told I have Aboriginal ancestry, but do not identify as Aboriginal). The law has been misapplied to ruin the lives of some university students and also to prevent a cartoonist from making an important point. Malcolm Turnbull apparently made undertakings, with Julie Bishop, to repeal the legislation (or ‘fix’ it) if he was made Liberal leader, but reneged on it later. The law has not, apparently, defended Jews or Moslems from extremist rhetoric. The law needs to be blind to race, for it to not be racist.

There are lots of ways of building consensus, but Turnbull has ruled out the effective ones. Were Turnbull to stand for something, as the previous PM had, he would be a target for ridicule and denigration just as the previous PM was. One of Rudd's proudest achievements was to exploit Aboriginal peoples and reward them with an empty gesture. Turnbull is not in a position to do the same. Rudd says he has advised Mr Turnbull. Has Turnbull listened? By promising everything and standing for nothing, Turnbull is allowing the frightened critters of the independent bench of the senate to use him. And so they might allow some things to pass through, that they would never allow Mr Abbott. It is a frightening example for those who prefer merit to win arguments.

The path we fail on is often the path we took to avoid trouble.
Russia has sent warships off the coastline of the G20 in Brisbane for much the same reason the US President has ridiculous amounts of hardware present. It reinforces domestic politics back home. Russia is not going to call for Russian separatists to fight Australia. There is a substantial tactical advantage to doing so in the Ukraine. The issue is big as 38 Australians died on MH17, an aircraft shot down, probably by Russian separatists after Ukraine forces legitimised it as a target. We now that Ukraine failed to warn the world of the war being fought and lied about the nature of the war to the world's press. There is another issue, Ukrainian independence from Russia and separatist behaviour has been influenced by Washington. There is no way that Russia was going to accept losing their own naval base or maintaining a hostile relationship with a near neighbour. Historically, Washington did not like it either, when Cuba was armed. Russia will take advantage of poor US policy, which is a good thing, because it forces the US to adopt strong policy. The 7:30 Report on the ABC started today with a scare item regarding Chinese internet espionage from a cute sounding panda group connected to the Chinese Peoples Liberation Army. The idea behind the scare is to attempt to make Monday's signing of the free trade agreement difficult, if not impossible. ABC have gloated a lot following their attempt to unhinge peace with Indonesia. Following the first item, Leigh Sales had an interview with Joe Hockey. During the interview Sales proudly stated that the budget was in a difficult shape because ALP had blocked significant items. Only Sales did not blame ALP, but independents whom Hockey defended, as he must. Partisan Sales attacked wherever she saw a jugular, which is not how she behaves with ALP or Greens. The ABC is out of control.
Palmer Party is fracturing, but as it does so it is turning to the ALP stance of blocking legislation for no policy reason. The issue is meaningless to both the antagonists, regarding soldier's pay. Palmer has despised soldiers and Lambie sees herself as part of their crowd. Restoring the nation to fiscal health is the best thing a government can do to the soldiers who serve her.
Shorten speaks on the understanding Obama reached with China regarding carbon dioxide issues. Obama has promised to make life difficult in the US now, as long as China will do so in fifteen years or so. GOP are not going to back it. Even so, Shorten is very up beat about it. If Shorten ever works out precisely what it is.
From 2013
Some people are comfortable being lied to. They prefer it. When Hamidur Rahman died in '02 from peanut allergy, his parents were sad and wanted the truth to come out. Those responsible for his death had a vested interest in that not happening. The result was the coroner declared the death an accident after failing to ask basic questions. It was easier that way. Parents were told by the coroner they had not told the school of the allergy. I know the school had been informed, and worse, the instrument of Hamidur's death had been given to the boy on the explicit instruction of the boy's school boy's welfare officer. The Head Teacher Welfare (Boys), a position possibly unique to Hurlstone AHS which is also a coed boarding school, had known for over a year about the allergy. It is not unusual for the coroner to massage results for the public. Michael Hutchence's likely death through misadventure as a result of sexual dysfunction from long term drug use was ruled a suicide because it is easier on the fans who would rather remember Michael that way.
Hamidur's head teacher with responsibility for welfare, boys, had instructed staff who had run out of rewards for kids to use items from the canteen, like peanut butter. The same officer was later told in 2001 that Hamidur had a serious peanut allergy. He instructed the person advising him of that fact not to discuss it publicly, on the promise staff would be informed. His boss, a deputy principal, said the same. In 2002, on camp, a teacher found he didn't have normal rewards for kids, and got peanut butter from the school in accordance with school direction. Hamidur had done an activity well, and so, as a reward, the teacher challenged him to lick peanut butter from a spoon. He died in seconds.
If the Head Teacher or Deputy Principal had been asked about this at the time, they may have lied or told the truth. If they were asked today, they could say they have forgotten. Worth thinking about as Australia's parliament discusses a carbon tax. Already, the ALP has delayed the introduction of the bill repealing the carbon tax (a misnomer, it is a tax on Carbon Dioxide, a colourless, odourless gas that is normally present in the atmosphere and feeds plants). Australians have never voted to have one. They were explicitly promised one would not be introduced prior to the '10 election. When it was introduced, Australians voted for a party promising to repeal it. Liars have claimed that the recent storm to hit the Philipines was the worst in history. It wasn't. It was terrible, but not in the top 37 storms known. When next there is an election, if those who voted in support of the tax are asked, what will they say about why they supported it? Some people are comfortable being lied to.
