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
Analysis of published statistics on COVID in the world shows the Victorian death rate, in relation to the Australian death rate, is 147% more likely that a Victorian with COVID dies than an Australian with COVID. That result is entirely due to public policy, not geography. The Victorian response to COVID has been lock down and curfew, with crime tape on swings and slides to prevent children from using them. Face masks indoors and out doors. Vaccinations, but denial of other medications known to be efficacious. HCQ has been listed as a poison. Neither Ivermectin nor Fenofibrate are approved treatments. And the result is people in Victoria who are sick and denied treatment will die, while Dan Andrews jockeys for more power, and so called independents give it to him. Remember that next election, in 2022, when independents say "Vote for us to keep ALP honest." To be fair, the ALP did not lie about their naked ambition for power. The independents lied for them.
Only now is the Victorian conservative party becoming more strident in their opposition to these draconian measures. In my case, my school employer has been required to see that I've been double vaccinated, but they've not been allowed to hire me because schools were closed. Children are being vaccinated in large numbers to meet government demands "for freedom" but each time 'freedom' is achieved, restrictions appear. With 80% of Victoria vaccinated, businesses were allowed to open. Only my tutoring school cannot because it is not considered a school but a business, and businesses have restrictions. Worldwide, the statistics on school child transmissions are consistent. Children are not spreading COVID at schools, neither are they falling sick at school. So why insist on vaccinations? Masks?
Vaccination mandates are not addressing COVID spread issues. World statistics show that vaccinations do not prevent spread and do not prevent deaths. Neither do masks. That does not mean no one should take it, neither does it mean everyone should. Governments have not outlawed deaths with their hysterical over reactions to COVID, they have restricted freedom. SCOTUS was recently asked to provide an injunction against vaccine mandates. SCOTUS has so far said it is not up to them to decide. Public health authorities are confused, most claiming erroneously that vaccination is for the public good. Masks are for the public good. Lockdowns are for the public good. But the science does not show that.
It is Halloween and confused Christian zealots are feeling free to denounce those enjoying the celebrations as serving the devil. It was similar with the hysteria over Harry Potter books. However, those who once burned witches were wrong then, as they who burn Harry Potter books are now. It is worth remembering that Jesus, in casting out demons, those demons yet testified He was lord. And they do so today. And it isn't the Halloween participants who form the analog.
=== From recent years ===
One rumour going around the internet is that JFK was erudite, smart, capable and visionary. JFK died on Nov 22nd 1963 when Lee Harvey Oswald shot him, and in response a secret service agent accidentally sent a dum dum round into JFK's head. The enormity of the cover up should be noted. At least one secret service agent ended his days a drunk. LHO was killed before facing justice, as was his killer, Jack Ruby. And the brain of JFK, filled with dum dum shrapnel disappeared during surgery. Anyway, the meme goes JFK was killed for a speech he gave about censorship and dangers facing democracy. Only the speech was not the last one JFK gave, but had been given in April 27th 1961. To put the speech in perspective, JFK had lost the 1960 election to Nixon, but Nixon, rather than doing what Al Gore did and threaten the union, conceded. Kennedy had approved the Bay of Pigs plan on April 4th. It was before a U2 plane took pictures of Soviet missiles on Cuba. Castro had lied to his backers about taking over Cuba to restore freedoms, but had aligned himself with communists (or revealed himself to be one) and so Kennedy was doing what the fox like Malcolm Turnbull does, putting his foot in his mouth. Kennedy proclaimed and declared openness while planning secret deals, and the press gave him a free pass. Given an opportunity to illustrate his understanding of world affairs, JFK chose Karl Marx. Kennedy did not write the words, which are good words, but we know he didn't mean them either. Kennedy may have threatened Governor Wallace over Wallace's racist stance to segregation, in private. In public, Wallace and Kennedy served the same party.
People seem to like abuse of power. A problem with abuse of power, beyond the abuse, is that it is recognised as legal by the foolish and hoodwinked. In the 1970's, an elderly German woman was interviewed regarding the leadership of the war. Shown pictures of senior Nazis, she smiled and said "All the old faces bring back memories." She wasn't a Nazi or a fan of them. But while they were imbued with power, they made promises to the people from a position of power they abused. It is sickening how average people gravitate to the abusers. During the weak years of Boris Yeltsin in Russia, one old timer opined for the glory days of Stalin.
Australia has problems with abuse of power too. Being a modern democracy, it is harder for abuse of power to be sustained. But there is a danger of it being systematised too. So that before the NSW conservative party with Barry O'Farrell could be elected in '11, they had to assure those who corruptly ran NSW they would not shake the boat. Credit to O'Farrell and his front bench, they retained integrity and even resigned when the corruption lobby fingered them. The result has been new leadership unencumbered by pre election promises made in '11. The judiciary of NSW is corrupt. Not biased, but actively partisan in support of the ALP and the left. So that inquiries into corruption get sidelined by judges within the virtue of their powers. It is legal, but an abuse of power. The Heiner Affair is another such abuse. Anyone with sense recognises it is wrong to tear up evidence of a gang rape of an aboriginal girl in detention. Which is why Rudd obtained legal advice. There are supposed to be protections against the abuse of power by Rudd against that girl who was decades without compensation, and silenced when a paltry amount was given her. Australia's parliament could have opened an inquiry, but Steve Fielding, acting against advice from Family First, decided to embrace the abuse of power instead.
Political fights can be bruising and confusing, making people bitter and lowering expectations of political process. But one outrageous, totally unacceptable practice has been endorsed by one side of the political divide and it is unacceptable from them. They must address the issue from their side, and not oppose those who would address it from the community. The issue referred to is child abuse, more specifically, raising children to hate and kill. Such child abuse is soul destroying. We have images of Palestinians marching for terror with kids in tow carrying toy guns. We have images of children's television shows in Palestine with puppet characters glorifying suicide. We have local ISIS spokespeople claiming Jews are responsible for terror through mythical atrocities. We have pictures of children holding severed heads and declaring their love for some terrorist group. We have child soldiers in Burma, Cambodia, Africa and the Middle East, except Israel. One common denominator is an excuse by the left of an imperative driving the behaviour. But there is no excuse for such damnation. It is child abuse.
One hate preacher who has freedom in Australia has claimed he was taken out of context when he was quizzed over saying "Jews are filthy rapists" and claimed he had limited his statement to specific ones whom had raped his sisters. One doesn't mind free speech, so long as it can be acknowledged that a liar has lied. That hate preacher has lied and is lying. His sisters are safe, but for being siblings to a terrorist. JT is free to say what he likes, but his child abuse deserves to be addressed, and his hate preaching contradicted. In Australia, rapes have been described as cultural to the Islamic community by Islamic community leaders impotent to address the needs of their community under a secular administration.

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.

LABOR'S HEALTH SPOKESPERON HAS CONTRACTED CKDS Via Craig Kelly
Watch this bloke foam at the mouth. He's Labor Health spokesperson - something that should terrify every Australian.
And with all the issues facing the nation today, especially in the health portfolio, his main concern (for which he used his limited and valuable Parliamentary time to complain about) is my Facebook page !
He's upset that I've posted links to peer-reviewed studies which show unambiguously that Hydroxychloroquine substantially REDUCES both the need for hospitalisation and deaths in Covid patients.
I'm going to call this the first clear cut case of 'Craig Kelly Derangement Syndrome' (CKDS) - something which even a course of HCQ + Zinc + AZ won't cure.
I make no apology for fighting to ensure that every person in my electorate of Hughes, (and their extended family in other electorates) has the right, in consultation with their doctor, to consider the option of taking HCQ if they contract covid - because the evidence shows this has the potential to save lives.
In contrast, the enemies of freedom (individuals such Chris Bowen) are fighting TO DENY Australians the right to access a medical treatment, which is not only recomended by medical experts from around the world, but is a treatment recomended in a peer-reviewed paper recently published in the American Journal of Medicine.
I know which side of history I want to be on - because the evidence is already clear - those that continue to fight to deny Australians having the freedom to access to this medical treatment, by burying their head in the sand to the overwhelming evidence, will have blood on their hands.
Another unfair thing is fines for speeding, according to ALP Deputy (NSW) Michael Daley. As former roads minister, he increased revenue from those fines. He claimed he had had a clean thirty year record when he contested an earned fine recently. In fact he had had three known fines for excessive speeding. The issue of revenue from that is rightly upsetting for those hit. As a professional driver in the 90's, I never once got fined. However, another driver doing exactly the same as me may have lost their license several times over. Rich, powerful people like Daley can lie to the court and get given reprieves. The issue will not disappear soon. I believe it won't go away before cars are driverless. Maybe we can fine drivers for smoking too?
Victorian consumer affairs Minister Marlene Kairouz apologised for telling residents to shut their doors to Irish people during a warning against scammers. People are outraged she shamed Irish people. What about Presbyterians? With all the atrocities committed around the world, why pick on the Irish? A man believed to be Presbyterian has killed many people after driving over them in NYC. The NYC mayor resisted the obvious temptation to denounce the Irish and the issue was called a lone wolf attack. There are wolves in Ireland? Clearly the minister was trying to be politically correct, or something. Just like the new NZ government which has plans to accept refugees into NZ from the Pacific fleeing climate change. They won't need to prove climate change, which is great for scammers.
Another great for scammers moment is the so called culture around Ayer's Rock. The rock was given an air strip and tourism built around the feature. Anthropologists marketing their research have declared it sacred. Apparently it is not traditionally climbed, which makes sense as that would be exhausting and pointless for hunter gatherers. The enlightenment began in Europe when a lovesick monk, Petrarch, climbed a mountain (Mont Ventoux), and wrote about it. I guess that sacred site must never be visited too. Now that we know about that monk and that woman, Laura. It isn't to prop up tourism, but to prop up the mythology of Anthropological activism which is the likely reason behind the move.
Special mention must be made of a philosophy professor who bullied a bisexual student for expressing concern that ten nations around the world kill homosexuals. The student recorded their conversation, in which the student was threatened with referral to special counselling, and told their entire academic career was in jeopardy. The truth is that student is too smart to have a career as an academic. Too independent. That professor is Vice Chancellor material, and might one day run to be President of the US for Democrats. Except that professor did not listen to the student, claiming they did not have time to. The professor relied on a document to ignore the student's defence. Hillary would have done the same as POTUS.
Trump is a conservative from within the broad church. Libertarians don’t like him because isn’t one of them. Trump is not fighting to rehabilitate GOP or fight their old battles. Trump has a Reagan play book of fighting the battles that matter now. Trump is pragmatic, and this confuses theoreticians. Trump was once a darling of progressives, but that was because he was in business, not politics.
Meanwhile Trump’s progressive opponent is loved by the press and demonstrably corrupt. And the Libertarian candidate is trying to find Aleppo. Or a head of state.
Rumour now runs internationally that the apparent Saudi Spy who partners Hillary Clinton kept a life insurance policy of emails left in her ex husband’s computer. And the FBI found it. And so the insurance policy has been cashed in early. And the FBI investigating a witch on Halloween have found incriminating evidence on her familiar’s Weiner.
One person who knows how to profit from central planning is Hillary Clinton. The Chicago Tribune is withdrawing support from her, and suggesting that Democrats replace Hillary. But corrupt news, like the Tribune, knew everything now known about Hillary as they supported her days ago. Maybe they are only backing a tribe, but not a policy? And Maybe they want to find another crook. I note that press, who had accepted Hillary's corruption, are now denouncing her Saudi Spy Handler
Donald Trump's speech at Gettysburg is frightening media. They have supported and protected insider corruption for a long time. Trump will clean up the festering wound, and make America great again.
For some, at the moment, the Sex Party has more credibility.
ALP have failed in opposition to direct action on the environment. The environmental policy of the Liberal Party has been taken to two elections and has a mandate, but the ALP don't recognise it. It is hard to know what the ALP are dong in their opposition to good policy. The Greens already do that and better. The ALP are shedding left wing support to the Greens and repudiating their supporters of the centre left. If the ALP reformed and dumped their union affiliates, and ran as a party with policies they might make a difference. At the moment, they make a bad legislative block.
The Age was wrong to claim Howard had rebuked Abbott over the policy of turning back boats. It is a good policy which has saved lives, and lead to fairer outcomes for refugees. What Mr Howard had said was that it was a better policy to do that than to attempt to get prior permission, as the ALP demand. Because a nationalist would be duty bound to say 'no' prior, whereas are pragmatic to say 'yes' after.
ALP Glenn Serle rebukes ALP Melissa Parke over anti semitic attack. Melissa was ignorant to state her opposition to ALP policy in support of terrorists who use BDS to hurt Israel. Recently, BDS have had a success with Soda Stream and hundreds of so called Palestinians are unemployed as a result.
Clive Palmer admits back dating instrument that he wanted to employ to withdraw $12 million to bank roll his federal campaign. It is apparent Palmer had no right or authority to spend the money he used.
Gillard declared 'questionable' .. possibly corrupt? Gillard set up the instruments her boyfriend used to extort millions of dollars from companies for personal use. She was also his lawyer.
ABC fields Dr Karl who lies effortlessly. He was quoted as misquoting a a British Met Office statement and given an opportunity to correct it. He failed, repeatedly.
Did Nova Perris mislead parliament? She claimed she was the victim of extortion, but the evidence she refers to does not suggest that. If nothing matters ..
I would like to take this time to thank my supporters and friends who have stood by me in these tough times. I am in a concrete shell thanks to a raw sewage blockage a month ago. I am insured, but sadly, insured with GIO, who have done nothing to decontaminate the kitchen and bathroom area the insurance I have with them covers. Luckily, my home contents is with Allianz and they were here in the first few hours with specialist cleaners and removal experts. I have lost everything I once owned, including irreplaceable keepsakes of a lifetime, but important things will be replaced. For unrelated reasons, I am in danger of losing my unit, but this may be a blessing, improving any sale value and possibly delaying it.
I note Tripodi faces ICAC today, and that brings my heart joy as corruption involving him is why I've been unemployed since '07. People who don't know me may not understand why my issue is so challenging. Partly Tripodi and stable mates have made it that way. I recently thought I had cleared my matters with the tax office. It turns out I hadn't. But this new issue may be a blessing too. ATO want to know why I accessed my superannuation early. They seem to feel I may have lived large on it. It is true I have visited Max Brenners more than is good for me. But that has nothing to do with it. What had happened was I had been granted early access through hardship to it, and my bank had signed off on the deal. But my bank reneged, and suggested a path I took which I don't advise anyone else do. I turned $220k into $99k and put it in my mortgage. It is still there. But I have been denied work in my trade (math teacher) for over six years. Soon, my bank will force me to sell my unit. And now ATO have decided to claim I was paid income of $153k (note that figure, super bodies already have $67k from my early access) a quarter went to mafia types who organised it. The blessing is the ATO might call in a federal investigation into the issue which should blow Tripodi and others sky high. The danger is the ATO might try to limit the issue to me and fine me and slap me with secrecy deals to protect the ALP. The ATO is a cat's paw .. do they like being a cat's paw? All I can do is to man up and take what is dished out. Accessing super early is wrong. No one can help me until I know the scope of what the ATO plan.
