16th Nov Review of Historical and 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

There is hope. Today we have the gloomy subject matter of the Kyle Rittenhouse trial, nearing an end, and, the ongoing Presidency of Joe Biden, and, the ongoing corruption of the FBI. And yet there is hope.

This week saw the defense mistake of placing Rittenhouse on the stand and giving a corrupt Prosecution carte blanche to lie. A desperate, exposed judge fought valiantly to preserve justice while Rittenhouse was betrayed by those charged to defend him, and denounced by those charged with upholding justice denied Rittenhouse. Along the way, we heard the Presidential candidate Joe Biden call Rittenhouse a white supremacist. We discovered the riot which forced Rittenhouse to act in self defence was a machination of the FBI to facilitate a coup which was part of the 2020 election fraud. What did Biden achieve by calling Rittenhouse a white supremacist? What did the FBI achieve by facilitating a murderous riot?

The press have not told you. They largely, have not reported on aspects of the Rittenhouse trial shown publicly. Rittenhouse acted in self defence. Three times he needed to apply deadly force that night, before he managed to secure safety from a local police armed response group acting as neutral observers. A longstanding Democrat, the local mayor has been among those persecuting Rittenhouse who prevented rioters from setting fire to a gas station and blowing up a neighbourhood. We saw Rittenhouse attacked thanks in part to FBI surveillance which seemed to be keeping tabs on their operatives running amok. Rittenhouse was kicked in the face and he did not kill the unidentified assailant. Rittenhouse was assaulted and a now dead man tried to take Rittenhouse’ gun. The chief persecutor asked why Rittenhouse brought a gun, saying it was merely to kill rioters. One guesses that that is what the persecutor would have done. Rittenhouse used it to defend his life from those who charged and assailed him. One assailant, who survived because Rittenhouse is not some mere killer, charged Rittenhouse and raised his gun to him before Rittenhouse shot him, disabling him from killing Rittenhouse.That surviving assailant has demanded ten million dollars for his testimony. Following his testimony, mainstream media lauded him and wrote of his resilience and interviewed him as a victim and survivor.

Those who know Rittenhouse is innocent of murder through self defence can see that that is the fact, in the trial. But, what of those who believe Rittenhouse is a white supremacist who brought a gun to a ‘peaceful’ riot? The chief persecutor is sticking to script. By ignoring law and focusing what divides Americans, the persecutor is merely doing the job given him by the likes of Joe Biden . Biden did not call Rittenhouse a white supremacist because Rittenhouse is racist. Rittenhouse is not racist. Biden is racist, but that is not the reason for the policy statement. A narrative is being painted to convince actual racists that Rittenhouse should be persecuted. And, we saw on the stand a lone, undefended boy, having a panic attack as bothe his defence and the persecutor publicly assailed and denied him succour. Rittenhouse is innocent, but he may still be convicted by jury. He is still fighting for his life.

Some are saying Joe Biden is the worst President ever. It is not a competition. Biden is mounting a strong argument for the accolade, and he is not yet done. But, an unseemly parade of awful precedes him. What of the claims of Johnson who ended reconstruction and established resistance to freedom through the KKK? What of person who facilitated modern poverty and inequity through their new deal, exploiting Americans by race and gifting them single, unemployed parents? What of the guy who nuked a civilian population twice? What of the guy who restarted a cold war to solve the policy vacuum created by their poor foreign policy?

Some are saying the FBI must be disbanded because they facilitated a violent coup. But then, what was Watergate? Why was Weather Underground protected by the FBI? What is the FBI’s role in the drug distribution networks and the faux arms management crises that sees cities like Boston and Detroit vie for the epithet ‘murder capitals.’?

Biden looks awful because Trump is so good. But also Carter and Reagan played similar roles. I liken the problem with fighting the Devil. Don’t do it. In fighting the Devil, one may well dance to the Devil’s tune. Instead, hold to the Lord. The Lord has already defeated the Devil, and the only future the Devil has is in a black pit of despair, eternally separated from God. But, that is not your future if you hold to the Lord.

We have hope. It is incumbent on us to win back the freedom denied us. And to protect that freedom. We will do that democratically. We will take back our legislature. We will get our courts to return to protecting our constitution.

I have lost everything several times. And yet here I am. Behind me is an Australian flag and a MAGA cap. On my MAGA cap is an American flag. I will die, one day. But, I pledge allegiance to the flag (of Australia and) the United States of America. And to the republics for which they stand. One nation. Indivisible. Under God. With liberty, and justice, for all.

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 2020 ===

Media is cheering expected partisan court decisions to not support inquiry into voting fraud. However, they overstate the meaning of the shortfalls. The Trump campaign to have their electoral win restored was never going to be straightforward. They have the evidence. It points to multiple elections and undermines the credibility of US Democracy. Ultimately, aspects of it will be decided by SCOTUS. We do not yet know how SCOTUS will decide, or even what exact evidence they will face. But we know the evidence is substantial, and in an effort to suppress the will of conservative resistance, media are claiming that the evidence is not substantive and so the evidence is yet to be addressed. Maybe there is a good reason for a CIA asset being deployed to fraudulently control the US election. Let us hear what it is.


It is apparent that Dems committed fraud to steal the 2020 election. They may well have done similar in 2016. In 2016, Fox declared Pennsylvania early to HRC. The demand was made for Trump to concede. Trump won in 2016, but it surprised the establishment that did similar in their voter suppression as they have done in 2020. HRC had organised a victory party, but blessed marching vagina instead. Even her book did not say what happened. Trump has been very good at mobilising ordinary, decent Americans to support him in numbers greater than any GOP ever. Trump does not court race, or gender, like his racist, bigoted opposition have. Yet Trump has extraordinary minority support for a GOP, possibly the highest since Eleanor Roosevelt courted the Black vote as her husband exploited them. The Dem voting pattern and issues echo the Obama wins too. How long have Dems been using these fraudulent methods to obtain votes? Did they use them to bodgy the 2006 mid terms? It is not that the mysterious support of vapour for Dems is so clearly fraudulent, but, other than violent rioters, and #FakeNews, where is their support, really? How come there is no policy platform for Democrats? Why does Big Tech have to censor the truth? How many millions of Trump supporting votes have been given to Biden? The corruption is so apparent, and so pervasive, that if Trump concedes 2020, he will be conceding all elections that follow, and the flame of liberty will be extinguished in America.
Likely actual vote
Lou Dobbs interview showing fraud voting in battleground states, results with fraud and results without fraud. Biden has tried to steal USA, and Biden is not doing it alone. Those engaged in doing it must be stopped this election, so that elections can be free and fair moving forward.

Historians have been appalling, deplorable in support of Democrat corruption from FDR, Truman, JFK, LBJ, Carter, Clinton or Obama.

Don't give up on hope. Malcolm Turnbull's greatest achievement will forever be known as SSM. Profound things are happening in Australia and around the world, and Turnbull has spent political capital choosing an empty symbolic gesture. China is flexing her political muscle in ditching Zimbabwe's tyrannical bloodthirsty ruler, Mugabe. The CIA did not do it and the world would have been up in arms if they had. But China hosted the Zimbabwe General behind the coup. And that is not a terrible thing, but it could be very disturbing. What about North Korea? What about the Clinton Foundation and Malcolm Turnbull? A lot of hysteria was printed regarding the CIA and the dismissal of Whitlam, but what of the Clinton Foundation overthrowing Abbott, and getting Malcolm to spend political capital on SSM? The SSM plebiscite was Tony Abbott's brainchild and Turnbull opposed it. Even so, Turnbull campaigned so badly on the issue he made it illegitimate by preventing a free and fair election. The vote is overwhelming in favour of Yes, but the likelihood is too much political capital has been spent and the various enabling bills can be terribly corrupted. But it doesn't matter, now Malcolm will be remembered for something. 

=== from 2016 ===
IPA Review (Nov 2016) features a Brett Hogan article “Throttling Superannuation.” The weak leadership of Turnbull has crossed the floor with the weak leadership of Shorten to present the electorate plans to access superannuation as a revenue source. Tony Abbott, former Liberal leader, had promised a few times to not change Superannuation adversely. But the government needs money. They are prevented from cutting wasteful spending by a Shorten lead Senate. If the government raids the cash it will be worse that cutting wasteful spending, or even effective spending. Once confidence is lost in superannuation it will never be returned. The longer Turnbull remains as Liberal leader, and in parliament, the worse it is for Australia. Turnbull has now fatally compromised Julie Bishop’s career and credibility. 

Malcolm Farr as political editor of news.com.au’s Daily Telegraph has an article claiming Trump is unhappy at winning the election last tuesday. The paper under Farr has an appalling lack of judgement in reporting on issues. He opposed GOP and opposed Abbott. But the paper’s job is to present issues, not support or oppose candidates or parties.
=== from 2015 ===
There is a way that peace can be taken from terrorism. It does not involve weakening the Western education systems or negotiating with killers as to how many they want to kill. It involves strengthening borders, and taking in refugees. But more importantly, it involves the currently impotent Islamic Leadership pointing out to their followers that Jihadism brings Islam into disrepute. By stopping the hero worship of sadistic killers, the billion Muslims living in fear of their murderous blasphemers can assert control. It means reforming Islam without changing it fundamentally. They must give up fads, like Jew hating, FGM, pedophilia, honour killings, terrorism, stoning, weak jurisprudence. But then such things bring Islam into disrepute and they wouldn't want to do that. Muslims want peace. Will Jihadist Moslams let them? Will the impotent leadership find their spine? 

For some, at the moment, the Sex Party has more credibility.
From 2014 
Witch hunt 
A theory doing the rounds regarding the Salem Witch trials is that a substantial role was played by ergot poisoning. The LSD like effects of the mould found in uncooked affected wheat has been said to have substantially explained other events too, like when a French Village went mad shortly after WW2 after a popular bakery distributed some affected wheat. The theory is attractive to the Conservative Weasel because it positions Arthur Miller's The Crucible as a polemic which was more propaganda than reality. Although the late unlamented Senator Joseph McCarthy went about his witch hunt the wrong way, he had investigated communists, many of them, while it is arguable that none of the women accused at Salem was really a witch. But sometimes witch hunts take on a life of their own. 

NSW Police Chief  Scipione is being investigated by the Police Integrity Commission and it has been said that the commission has nothing on him, but is investigating him to smear him, much as the ICAC has smeared innocent Liberal Party members while giving passes to Australian Labor Party members who are corrupt. In the case of the ICAC, it appears as if they are trying to appear biased so as to be rounded up before they ever investigate the ALP on the many serious issues needing to be examined. The ICAC has been so bad, that it reflects poorly on all such bodies. Maybe the PIC has a valid case. Scipione was also police chief under several corrupt ALP administrations, and there is every possibility of mud existing. Many say he has been very effective under the Liberals, but personally he has failed over the issue of Hamidur Rahman. 

Another witch hunt is being conducted against Sydney University Professor and Poet Barry Spurr. Spurr has been suspended by the university after emails he privately made including crude jokes were hacked and publicly released. Spurr has a credible explanation for them, but the university has kept him sidelined during a glacially slow investigation. One suspects New Matilda will be sued for a lot regarding their action in publishing the private emails for no public good. However ABC's Media Watch have approved the publication. By way of contrast, the University was hosting a staff Christmas party which was themed Mexican. But an ethnically Argentinian who possesses some Mexican clothes complained that such costumes would denigrate him. The university quickly cancelled the theme when it might have been better to dis-envite the complainant. There is a difference between Spurr and the complainant. Spurr had agreed to be part of a Federal Government investigation into improving the school curriculum. He suggested ways to balance what had been left wing claptrap. So he is a little conservative in some things. According to the ABC and Fairfax, that means he is fair game for any smear. 

Another witch hunt involves attacking an eminent scientist who had just had an amazing success, for the clothes he wore and the tattoos he bears. The success for the astro physicist was to land a probe on an asteroid. Even after twenty years planning with the mother ship at matched velocities with the meteor, the success of the probe was anticipated to be fifty percent. Afterwards, Matt Taylor wore a Hawaiian shirt made by a female friend which featured scantily clad females holding guns. That was too much, and so Matt was attacked for misogyny of the worst kind. And he has tattoos. The wowserism of feminists is embarrassing for Christians. Yes, Christian conservatives are judgemental at times, but at least they have judgement. 

Another witch hunt involves the ABC campaigning against the Abbott government. Abbott recounted four promises his new government made fourteen months ago, and ABC news wouldn't play it beyond the first two. It was a calculated insult. They had no problem explaining their theory that Mr Abbott had presented poorly 
  1. repeal carbon tax (Senate obstructed but successful)
  2. Stop illegal boats (Senate obstructed but successful) 
  3. Building roads (infrastructure, being done) 
  4. Budget under control (Senate blocks)
ABC news played the first two, but stopped before playing all four. Insider played all four under their current affairs program, but then the left wing panelists said it was strange and weird. In contrast Obama was making promises he wouldn't keep. Insiders labelled Abbott's contributions as boring and for a domestic audience. While Obama was applauded as visionary after offering empty promises for his domestic audience. Insiders personally attacked Putin over Ukraine and expressed their contempt by saying Putin was not popular. Putin, was diplomatic as he left, saying discussions had been frank and fruitful. Obama said that Putin was behaving dangerously badly. Obama might have been looking in a mirror. 

Another witch hunt involves Putin and the Ukraine. Savaging Putin to obfuscate issues of Ukrainian culpability in the downing of MH17. Russia should not have allowed the separatists to fire such a weapon uncontrolled. But Ukraine were fighting a war, and hadn't warned international civilian flights and probably were involved with targeting MH17. 

Other issues
Desperate hope for a sensible block of senators by separating Lambie from PUP. But it seems outrageous to suggest Lambie would be part of any sensible bloc. 

Men giving birth by legal definition. According to medicare data, 54 men gave birth around Australia last year. Medicare is that good. 
From 2013
Everybody makes mistakes, but in entertaining the fallacy endorsing genocide of the Armenians by Turkey, Bolt makes a big one. Bolt is correct that there should be debate, but he is wrong to excuse. There are excuses that Turkey might give for the atrocity. Hitler gave excuses too. For one thing, Hitler pointed out nobody seemed to care about Turkey's actions. Meanwhile, in another abuse of justice, Syrians have killed the wrong person. Climate change hysterics killed the wrong clam. Julia Baird is being harassed by Jellyfish for AGW hysteria promotion. Whatever floats your boat, Julia.

In assessing degrees of wrongness, it is hard to position accurately Rudd, Gillard or Whitlam as the worst Australian PM ever. They all shared talentless front and back benches. They all had corrupt colleagues they were compromised defending. They all killed Australians going about their normal lives. They all left a ballooning debt. They all hurt industry. They all have stand out achievements of ineptitude. They also retained fanatical supporters in the press. The only thing certain is that Malcolm Fraser thought they had admirable qualities and policies. 

Speaking of corruption, there is that investigation into Craig Thomson. Time for a paper to act its' age?
