Consider these recent truths
Kyle Rittenhouse has been found not guilty by a jury.
Following the verdict, mainstream press doubled down on lies which resulted in further riots.
It is unclear if defamation of Rittenhouse will ever be addressed
It is unclear if prosecutorial misconduct will ever be addressed
Words have power, but they should have meaning too.
Viva Frie summarised the denunciations of Rittenhouse as Kyle being a White Supremacist active shooter who had shot black men at a BLM protest. It might also be worth adding the meme that Rittenhouse was driven by his mum across state lines to do it. It was illegal for Rittenhouse to own the gun he used.
Following the media, one might not know the following truths
Rittenhouse is mixed race and the people he shot were all white with lengthy criminal records.
Rittenhouse’ family are located in Kenosha and he grew up there. His mother’s home, ‘across the state border’ was a mile away, and closer than where one of Rittenhouse’s so called victims who lived in Kenosha was in relation to the riots that night.
The so called BLM protest was a riot where police had withdrawn protection and businesses were stripped and torched. One such business owner, noting Rittenhouse was present, giving first aid to people, as he had wanted to become a nurse or policeman, and that was a practical application, had asked him and some friends to be on hand to protect their business.
The sole survivor of the three Rittenhouse shot was illegally armed, while Rittenhouse was entitled to the rifle he carried. Many people at the riot carried rifles.
Rittenhouse ran to rioters calling “friendly, friendly” so as to administer first aid during the meeting.
Rittenhouse did not point his gun as to threaten. One person claimed he had, and the prosecutor seized on Rittenhouse’s answer which did not affirm that. Witnesses admitted Rittenhouse had maintained the gun pointed down.
When Rittenhouse was confronted by rioters he ran and they chased him. When Rittenhouse fell, he was attacked by rioters. One kicked Rittenhouse in the face. Rittenhouse did not shoot them. One died after they tried to take Rittenhouse’ gun. One died after hitting Rittenhouse on the head with a skateboard. The survivor had attempted to run up to Rittenhouse and kill him by emptying his illegal firearm into Rittenhouse. Rittenhouse shot him before he could. At trial, after asking for ten million dollars for testifying, the survivor gave evidence that Rittenhouse only shot him after he charged him and pointed his gun at Rittenhouse.
The FBI had recorded events using a drone. The prosecution were given better detailed drone vision than the defence. The prosecution had not passed on details of witnesses exculpatory for Rittenhouse. The prosecution made claims about Rittenhouse which were known to be untrue, or irrelevant, which were parroted by media.
The prosecution had had two theories of what Rittenhouse had done that evening, which contradicted. One theory was that Rittenhouse had gone to kill people with his rifle. Another was that Rittenhouse had defended himself disproportionately. It turns out neither theory was right.
The media memes of Rittenhouse being crazed and murderous, spread by Biden, trickling down through Democrat agency, through the FBI and DOJ, through irrelevant offices like the NYC mayor, seem to have been fed by the prosecutor. Why else should so many separate news agencies report on the faux ‘crossing state lines’?
The trial for Rittenhouse is over. But the trial for USA to reclaim justice is not.

Today is a big day for trials.
In 164 BC, Judas Maccabeus, son of Mattathias of the Hasmonean family, restored the Temple in Jerusalem. This event was commemorated each year by the festival of Hanukkah. In 1877, Thomas Edison announced his invention of the phonograph, a machine that can record and play sound. In 1894, Port Arthur, Manchuria, fell to the Japanese, a decisive victory of the First Sino-Japanese War, after which Japanese troops were accused of the massacre of the remaining inhabitants of the city. In 1902, the Philadelphia Football Athletics defeated the Kanaweola Athletic Club of Elmira, New York, 39-0, in the first ever professional American football night game. In 1905, Albert Einstein's paper, "Does the Inertia of a Body Depend Upon Its Energy Content?", is published in the journal Annalen der Physik. This paper reveals the relationship between energy and mass. This leads to the mass–energy equivalence formula E = mc². In 1927, Columbine Mine massacre: Striking coal miners were allegedly attacked with machine guns by a detachment of state police dressed in civilian clothes. In 1953, the British Natural History Museum announced that the "Piltdown Man" skull, initially believed to be one of the most important fossilised hominid skulls ever found, was a hoax. In 1959, American disc jockey Alan Freed, who had popularised the term "rock and roll" and music of that style, was fired from WABC-AM radio for refusing to deny allegations that he had participated in the payola scandal. In 1985, United States Navy intelligence analyst Jonathan Pollard was arrested for spying after being caught giving Israel classified information on Arab nations. He was subsequently sentenced to life in prison.In 2006, anti-Syrian Lebanese Minister and MP Pierre Gemayel was assassinated in suburban Beirut.

ABC pays 1 percenters to tell their viewers what to think. Now that has been revealed, the boss of the ABC wants an investigation. The ABC boss, who feels it is balanced to drown poor people who are desperate for asylum so long as the ALP appears compassionate, who is also willing to reveal any secret to embarrass the Libs even if it isn't about them, is paid twice as much as the ASIO boss who works impartially to protect all Australians. When you look at the 'talent' supporting the ALP, you can see they need lots of help. Young people should not drink any alcohol. Older people should not drink much alcohol. But what reason can be given for how ALP decides on policy? Chatham house rules doesn't quite cover it.
Race hate laws aren't working. Kudos to the Jewish council of Australia on their statement regarding the Armenian genocide, but also that council is wrong to support these bad race laws. The laws don't protect Jewish peoples from harm, but do protect terrorists from criticism. The persecution of Bolt was a travesty of justice.
From 2014
Greens hypocritical in their support of US warming deal with China. The deal is not secure, as Australia's direct action policy is which Greens oppose. The US and China hope to achieve their ends by employing power substitutes the Greens will not accept in Australia, from fracking and nuclear.
The federal government (in Australia) had legislation that was in the interests of consumers of superannuation, but opposed by Unions. Unions were given access to management of Superannuation by Paul Keating so as to compensate them for lost membership, as very few workers these days join with unions. However, the unions and banks have developed superannuation products that customers would not choose if they were aware of choice. Unions and banks have provided advisers to consumers who have a duty to their employers, not the consumers. The legislation would have given advisers independence, providing better, informed choice to consumers. Independent senator Xenophon, Motorist Muir and PUP Lambie have backflipped over the deal and scuttled the legislation, meaning vested interests can behave corruptly. They are doing so, so as to use the legislation as bargaining chip to get the government to compromise on more good legislation. The only way to get good government is to vote conservative.
ABC find someone willing to criticise the Australian federal government over their climate change policy. The Fishing Minister from Belize. No doubt Belize's public service have kept their minister up to date with the latest. Belize has a population of about 342000. Note, the Minister offered no specifics, merely asking Australia to step up on commitment to negotiation.
Academics suggest making petrol more expensive to keep poor people off the roads. They argue that fewer people on the roads means fewer deaths. Why not simply ban petrol?
WA food police canvass an idea that children found with chocolate or chips at school would have it confiscated until the end of the school day. No discussion is made regarding the refrigeration of said products. Will they at least promise not to leave the milk in the sun?
The Age presents a piece on Global Warming attacking Mr Abbott without including facts for balance. They verbal-ed former UK PM Thatcher and neglected to mention vested interests.
Is feminism merely a push for women to work and not have families?
University of California, Berkely students show that Nazis have been successful in attracting the left to IS and distancing them from Israel.

It is a truth of management that when an employee fails, the management have too. In banks, no one should feel they aren't being watched. Everyone should know if they attempt theft they will be caught. Jonathan Pollard showed the US security administration failed. He had attempted to sell secrets. Nothing like the security breaches of Snowden or Assange, which got people killed around the world for inflaming jihadism. Pollard was mentally weak according to prosecutors, as well as brilliantly duplicitous. They accused him of getting agents killed, until it turned out another CIA agent had done that. But Pollard is Jewish. An abuse of power denied Pollard a legal defence and 30 years have been taken from him. He is released at last. But those responsible for the abuse have power and authority.
For some, at the moment, the Sex Party has more credibility.

IPA Review (Nov 2016) features a Matthew Lesh article on “Australian Tax Mutineers” and it includes the 1927 Queensland farmer’s strike. Queensland had only one non ALP Government between 1915 and 1952. With a small, largely self sufficient population, government couldn’t mess up too badly. Only the ALP had managed to spend too much and tried to raise tax to cover their inept administration. The 1926 Queensland Water Act was an instrument. It involved fees for farmers using their own wells or water pumps. If the property wasn’t adjacent to a river, farmers were in a terrible position. It was a disincentive to improve land and produced costs the couldn’t be passed on to consumers. In 1927, farmers organised a tax strike. The legislation was repealed and the government changed for one term at the next election. Worth thinking about for any state or territory thinking of voting ALP when they have control of the upper house too.

Don't give up on hope. Democrat Insurance used to cover so much more. Some fifteen sexual assault allegations involve Bill Clinton and yet MSM don't report on it. But now allegations surface regarding groping by Charlie Rose and the journalist is dropped by his network employer. In Australia, former disgraced parliamentarian Craig Thomson gets a free pass from the union he took member funds from, but the whistleblower, Kathy Jackson, is pursued through the courts. The draining of the sewer has begun, but there is a long way to go. News.com.au, under political editor Malcolm Farr, is claiming the US has not won a war since 1945, and feels Trump may do badly with NK. Almost as if the media want Trump to start a war .. and win it. Like Obama would have done if he could, cf Libya, Syria and Ukraine.
Less than a week until Queensland faces election. ALP have no credible policy. ALP are divided and have members openly discussing aligning with One Nation, prior to election. LNP offer responsible government. One Nation is popular. Newspapers are saying it should be a strong ALP win. Polls are suggesting it will be tighter. Vote LNP if you want effective public transport, healthy industry, affordable power, effective policing. Vote ALP if you like corruption, are xenophobic and hate anyone profiting if they are the wrong gender or race.
The culture wars go on, lefties advise that the English Breakfast of Bangers, bacon and eggs are 'bad for the environment.' They also say that children are bad for the environment. They are insane.
Islamic leader Keysar Trad wants polygamy, but does not want SSM. How does that even work?
Donald Trump promises huge tax cuts for Christmas and is cheered. Turnbull promises tax cuts for Christmas and it is pointed out he is in fact taxing those people more, according to his own detail.

We know who voted for Trump. We saw them. Queues of people with hats and signs and cheering Trump in their thousands all over USA. We have not seen people in great numbers who supported Biden. There is no evidence they have ever existed outside of a riot or a hissy fit by a Democrat partisan election official.
I watch Dan Bongino on Rumble and heard him on his Rumble cast say Trump should have addressed disloyal swamp creatures sooner. I disagree with it, and might have egg all over my face soon for saying so, but following is my reasoning. Trump has temporised on facing some of the swamp, not hesitated. Late last year, Trump said he was pulling troops out of Syria and was criticised for it severely. But then an ISIS leader stood up and special forces ran him to committing suicide rather than be taken. The operation, a sting masterminded by Trump had not included significant figures within his administration, and sparked a resignation of National Security Adviser Bolton, who had not been in the loop. Imagine the resistance if Trump had opposed more? But now, if Trump politically survives this, the swamp is exposed and has no support from conservatives. I'm reminded of former Premier of Victoria Jeff Kennett who had led a successful conservative government and had a crash or crash through election which he lost. Had Kennett won, he had clear air for a long time, but having lost Victoria is where the US will be if Biden is allowed to cheat a win.
Trump cycle has it Trump is on his knees, before ... 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.
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.

===Trump: Biden Would 'Kill the American Economy' in Rejoining Climate Treaty
President Donald Trump slammed the Paris climate accord on Sunday, telling world leaders at a virtual summit that the agreement was designed to cripple the U.S. economy, not save the planet. "To protect American workers, I withdrew the United States from the unfair and one-sided Paris climate accord, a very unfair act for the United States," Trump said in a video statement from the White House to the Group of 20 summit hosted by Saudi Arabia [Full Story]

I worship the God who bears my suffering.
The Lord and Savior Isaiah 53:3-5 describes:
"He was hated and rejected by people.
He had much pain and suffering.
People would not even look at him.
He was hated, and we didn't even notice him.
But he took our suffering on him
and felt our pain for us.
We saw his suffering
and thought God was punishing him.
But he was wounded for the wrong we did;
he was crushed for the evil we did.
The punishment, which made us well, was given to him,
and we are healed because of his wounds."
Isaiah 53:3-5 (NCV)

Don't give up on hope. Today is Thanksgiving in USA. In 1621, some 90 American Indians and 53 pilgrims feasted over three days. Congress asked Washington to set aside a day for it. Lincoln formalised it. Service is related to freedom. Humbleness is related to responsibility. A blackout at work tonight taught me much. The owners actually care for their students. The black out is a direct result of Dan Andrews destroying a coal powered station that supplied a quarter of Victoria's needs. There will be many more black outs this summer. Local street lights did not work. We in Australia have been given much, but it is incumbent on us to be good stewards. And so when it is time to vote, I encourage Victorians to support Matthew Guy who will be a good steward of Victoria's resources, and not Dan Andrews who has demonstrably failed in service to Victorians. Andrews, when told that some Victorians were struggling, came up with Euthanasia.
In a bizarre column, Andrew Bolt compares Bill Shorten to Tony Abbott. Abbott lost much standing on principle so as to help the conservative party. Shorten has taken much from the party that supports him. Abbott is to Shorten as Abraham Lincoln is to a Bonobo monkey. Queensland go to the polls soon, and ALP's leader, Palasczcuk is lying about Adani mine. Only LNP will responsibly marshall Queensland's resources. Activists are lying about illegal immigrants from Manus. at some $10k a head, it is an expensive holiday for them. They live in filth after having been given much, because activists lied to them, saying it would impress the world for them to be filthy. Had I gone on holiday to Fiji, smashed their toilets, ruined their kitchens and then said the experience was awful, the press would not reward me as they do these illegal immigrants. The message of thanksgiving is borne in humbleness. Anyone who holds their own life dear must acknowledge their wealth. Those that don't do not see what is there.
Turnbull's government had been crowing at passing legislation while the incompetent one was taking a selfie with Obama. But one of their plans involving a $5 departure tax was defeated. The reason for the defeat being Pauline Hanson and another of her party were absent when they were expected to support the bill. The bill would not have raised much money at all, but had the potential to exceed the Mining Tax of Kevin Rudd in 2010.
For some, at the moment, the Sex Party has more credibility.
ABC is not really biased, it is openly partisan. It has never been balanced. However, it has grown too arrogant, too blatant. It has actually campaigned against Australia's national interest. It has covered up corruption within the ALP and Union movements. The particular issue at the moment is the structure of the organisation at the top. The board is incapable of holding the CFO or News Editor in Chief because there aren't any. The managing director is claiming that he is responsible without ever taking responsibility and the board are afraid of challenging him. The ABC is supposed to be independent of government, but they are also supposed to be competent. So when a march is held for the ABC opposing a five percent cut over five years, one might expect fair minded people of all types marching. Instead, the marchers are Socialist Alliance, or Maritime Union Australia or Media and Entertainment Arts Alliance with a speaker from Deputy ALP Plibersek and Green Ludlam but no conservative anywhere. Not even as a guest speaker. The ABC has to change to become competent.
The Senate is being changed by the changing allegiances of Jacqui Lambie. She has promised to vote with the ALP and oppose all legislation. At the moment, any block of three independent senators can block any legislation the ALP and Greens oppose. There are eight independent senators most of whom vote with the ALP. For good government, one has to vote conservative.
A mosque chief in a nation supporting jihadist terrorism wants to tell Pope Francis that Islam is for peace. IS, Boko Haram and Al Shaabab offer different interpretations.
Baby found in a drain by recreational walkers. Authorities suspect the boy had been there a week. Mother is located. There are important questions to be asked. Mother facing possible charges of attempted murder.
GG Bryce has again demonstrated why she is not fit for that office. She has in the past protected Queensland ALP from facing justice over their executive decision to commit a crime by destroying evidence of a gang rape of an aboriginal child held in detention. She has campaigned for the ALP in a bid for a UN seat. Her opinion on gay marriage is legitimate of a private citizen, not of a head of state. Her republican views are similarly incommensurate with her office. Should there arise a constitutional crisis, many would feel she is partisan. However, she is clearly trying to push Mr Abbott into a rash act, so as to delegitimise her successor.
Barrie Cassidy occasionally says something right. I don't hear him say it, when he does, as I won't watch ABC news or current affairs .. I don't share their opinions. Riots in Indonesia show that ABC opinions are unbalanced and dangerous. Gillard takes sides, opposing her own government and attacking Mr Abbott. Where is that highly lauded policy dynamo that was credited with Medicare Gold a decade before Obamacare?
