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.

Ep. 1385 What the Heck is Happening? - The Dan Bongino Show
https://rumble.com/vaxra5-ep.-1385-what-the-heck-is-happening-the-dan-bongino-show.html
In this episode, I discuss the possible paths to victory in the 2020 election. I also address the South Florida stunner.
===
The Good News Is That Biden Is Screwed, Even if He Wins
My gut says that Donald Trump will snatch victory from the jaws of the pollsters. A great deal hangs on Pennsylvania, where Trump now leads by 600,000 but where 1.7 million mail-in ballots remain to be counted. There’s a 2:1 ratio of registered Democrats to registered Republicans among mail-in voters, and the pundits are saying that this will cancel out Trump’s lead. What they don’t consider is that a lot of registered Democrats in Pennsylvania will vote for Trump. Of course, getting the ballots counted fairly is a non-trivial problem.
Politico.com’s headline this morning reads, “Biden looks screwed even if he wins.” The Republicans kept a Senate majority and reduced the Democratic majority in the House. If Biden squeaks by, he will have no popular mandate, no Senate, and no help from the Supreme Court. He won’t be able to pass tax increases, big changes in health care, or his Green New Deal boondoggles. He will have the same headaches confirming his favorite nominees as Trump did, and worse, as a Republican Senate casts a jaundiced eye at Biden’s supporting cast.
The good news is that the election stymied the Democratic Party’s plan for radical transformation of the United States into an Orwellian state enforcing political correctness, and turning the federal budget into a pinata for Democratic constituencies. That’s the genius of the American political system. To make big changes you need either a big majority or a small majority for a very long time, and the Democrats have neither.
Of course, a Biden administration would have the freedom to undo some of President Trump’s accomplishments in foreign policy, for example, returning to the repugant Obama policy of coddling Iran.
If Trump wins — as I hope and expect — the White House will still have freedom of action in foreign policy, as well as the ability to go after Big Tech. He will also have time to drain the swamp in the Intelligence Community. Trump will not forget that Twitter and Facebook suppressed the New York Post’s revelations about the Hunter Biden emails on the recommendation of a gaggle of retired spooks. (More at site)

The biggest loser of election 2020: Identity politics
Election night is over. President Trump outperformed expectations and poll numbers and may yet win a second term. It is still also possible that former Vice President Joe Biden might win. No one can say for sure.
Still, there was one clear loser in last night’s election: identity politics.
Recall that the summer of 2020 was the summer of wokeness. Everyone was supposedly now consumed with the nation’s systemic racism. Everyone was a rioter. The only cause was anti-colonialism. Nothing else mattered. Right?
Perhaps that is untrue, however. Maybe this was relevant for college professors and liberal media anchors, but most people ignored this narrative about American life.
And, in fact, it turns out that the very voters being targeted most heavily by this scare campaign about pervasive, ubiquitous white supremacism, specifically nonwhite voters, were not persuaded to support Democrats in larger numbers. Instead, those voters increased their support for Trump over 2016 levels. In fact, if he wins, he almost certainly owes his victory to gains among black and Hispanic voters.
According to exit polls, Trump improved his national performance among black voters from 8% of the total to 12%. Among Hispanic voters, he increased his share from 28% to 32%. Among Asian American voters, he increased his share from 27% to 31%.
Overall, on a net basis, the gap between Biden and Trump among nonwhite voters was 7 points narrower than in 2016. (More at link)

Nets Bemoan Trump ‘Disinformation’ ‘Scared’ Florida Latinos by Calling Dems ‘Socialists’
In the early hours of Tuesday’s election night specials on the broadcast networks, multiple liberal journalists were beset by the fact that President Trump was doing far better than expected in Florida and South Florida, due in large part of what they called “disinformation” that successfully “scared” Latinos with fears of Democrats implementing “socialism.”
CBS Evening News anchor Norah O’Donnell tossed to CBS News contributor and former Univision anchor Maria Elena Salinas as “the voice of Hispanic America,” but based on her hot takes shilling for Biden, she didn’t live up to the moniker.
With some trepidation, Salinas said Trump cleaning up in Florida seemed to have been because his “law and order and anti-socialism messages appear to be resonating with Cuban voters and also from voters from countries like Venezuela, Nicaragua, among others” whereas Puerto Ricans trended toward Biden.
Political correspondent Ed O’Keefe asked Salinas to elaborate:
We heard the president for almost four years talk about how Joe Biden and Democrats would enact socialist policies in this country. To a lot of Americans, that kind of goes over their head, but remind us why that resonates so much in South Florida and why it could be affecting Biden's chances tonight.
Salinas replied that the labels of socialism towards Democrats has always “resonated” with it having come across “much stronger” in 2020.
From there, the mask slipped as Salinas griped that “[t]here was a lot of disinformation in radio stations in Miami and in Spanish-language media there and they really scared people into socialism and especially now Venezuelans.”
“Another reason, besides the anti-socialism message, is — is the violence. A lot of people fear the violence. So law and order is also a huge issue for them,” she added.
Over on ABC, weekend World News Tonight anchor Tom Llamas chalked up Biden’s smaller-than-predicted margin in Miami-Dade County to Republicans having been “successful in trying to tie Democrats and Joe Biden even though he made it very clear publicly he's not a socialist, they were very successful, it appears in maybe possibly doing that.” (more at link)

We’re getting a lot of hot takes on race this election night, such as that Cubans are white supremacists who would sell out every other minority in their pursuit of the path toward whiteness. In other words, Cuban-Americans in Florida voted for President Trump, so they’re not real Latinos.
Atlantic contributing writer Jemele Hill wants the world to know that if Trump wins re-election, it’s on white people. That’s a little different from 2016, when white women were to blame for putting Trump in office. (more at link)

Mollie Hemingway: Donald Trump Has Turned The Republican Party Into A Multiracial Party
Federalist Senior Editor Mollie Hemingway celebrated the Republican Party’s progress with minority voters Tuesday night as President Donald Trump shows strong returns in key battleground states among the Democrats’ key constituency.
“One of the things that is definitely an emerging story is about the closing of the racial gap in voting,” Hemingway said, as Trump outperforms in majority-Hispanic Miami-Dade County in Florida, tilting the state to the incumbent president. “Donald Trump is obviously doing very well in Florida on the strength of minority voters. … There’s starting to be an indication this is happening in other states as well.” (more at link)

Frank Luntz: The Polling Profession Is Done

It would be hard to understate how awful Australian news coverage, including Murdoch's News.com.au, has been. Following are illustrations
Viewers have questioned why would anyone would watch Aussie coverage of the US election.
“I’ve already made the decision to avoid all Australian live coverage of election night,” one person declared on Twitter.
Later someone announced, “Australian coverage has been absolutely appalling. No actual discussion of the votes, the counties, the swings, the things that actually decide an election. Embarrassing.”
Others have hit out on social media at the ABC for calling results too early today, well ahead of other organisations, as votes get counted for US President Donald Trump and his opponent, Democratic nominee Joe Biden.

Turnbull's dithering is contagious. And now critics of Liberal government are constructively suggesting changes to the Liberal administration which do not solve the problem. The only solution allowing healing within the party is the restoration of Tony Abbott. Instead, commentators have been saying that is not possible, but they think Julie Bishop should lead the party. And they blame treasurer Scott Morrison for not making the awful Turnbull exercise work. But nobody can think of anything wrong Morrison is responsible for, or anything right Bishop has done.
Greens are making hysterical claims regarding illegal boat people imported by the last ALP government. The claims are as outrageous as those in defence of Palestine. The facts are Australia is generous with processing all migrants, including the illegal ones. Turnbull did attempt an underhanded deal with Obama where no illegal migrants benefited. Trump saw through that. Illegal migrants have often paid people smugglers over $20k each, and been subjected to piracy and some have drowned. Then they can spend a long time being processed by authorities because they lie about their origins and have destroyed their personal documents. They are housed and fed and given much, but activists have rioted and damaged much. There is also a security issue. Terrorists have gotten through as refugees.
In a triumph for Free Speech, a judge tossed out the prosecution of three university students who had questioned on Facebook why they were denied access to unused computers reserved for Aboriginal only students. They could have lied about their Aboriginality to obtain access, but had not acted so duplicitously. But a public servant took them to court with the support of Australia’s well remunerated chief of the Human Rights Council, Triggs. Triggs had investigated them for fourteen months without their knowledge. When charges were laid at their doorstep, fait accompli, they resisted the charges and have been smeared as racists. The 18c racial vilification legislation is counter to a free society. It needs to go. The students are vindicated, but scarred for life.
Australia is poorly positioned to capitalise on a Trump Presidency with both the foreign affairs Minister Julie Bishop and the Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull talking out to personalise antipathy to Trump. One understands they prefer Hillary Clinton because they prefer working with corruption. They had insisted Abbott give over $10 million aid to the Clinton Foundation in 2014, and rolled Abbott after he stopped the payments. But neither Bishop nor Turnbull has explained how Australia will be better off with a corrupt Clinton as President, compared to a GOP backed Trump. Trump is not Reagan. Trump is very good at negotiations and knows how to run an executive team. Reagan was more reliant on insiders from GOP. Trump can deliver on promises better than Turnbull can. Turnbull has portrayed himself as being a good business executive. With Trump as President we will see a real one. Trump would never have put himself in the ridiculous position Turnbull has. All Turnbull can do now, constructively, is resign.
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.
US Mid term elections have been completed and results show a healthy win by the GOP. Obama will retain a veto for the next two years, but the direction he has taken the US will change.
Former Chief Scientist misspoke when she claimed the world would end in five years. She meant we would all be dead, but Gaia would not have done the deed yet.
Mike Carlton, caught on a left travelling current, has been invited by his former employer SMH to get closer to their left wing journalists. By subscription.
Milne shown to be an incompetent Green leader. She has been incapable of working with tactically capable workers and engaging them with her strategic positioning on policy issues, according to former Green staffer Tim Hollo who still admires her.
Whitlam funeral. He was flawed, and it is difficult to point to anything he achieved as worthwhile. The funeral was touching if one ignored the boos for Liberals and the cold shoulder for Rudd. And the cheers for the questionable former PM Gillard. Gough gave Cate Blanchett a free tertiary education? Taxpayers paid for it.
PUP Senator Jacqui Lambie, who has refused to pass cuts to stabilise the budget, has called on Australians to turn their backs on remembrance day. She argues troops should have larger pay rises than beneath inflation. It seems inappropriate that a day to remember war dead is abused over a pay dispute.
Senator Muir struggling to retain staff. The Motoring Enthusiast is struggling to stand on any principle.
Two Islamic groups brag of raping women they captured through violence. ISIL and Boko Haram. How will mainstream media glorify it for young Islamic men?
Greens gone soft on Islamic state. As Andrew Bolt points out, quoting Bertrand Russell "Much that passes as idealism is disguised hatred or disguised love of power." It is an international problem for secular idealists embracing hatred ideology.
If irresponsible kids in your area are throwing a party, it could be a global warming panic party. ABC and Fairfax may have written and spoken about it, but it is unlikely you heard or read it from them .. not many people do. Plain packaging seems to be working to expand the black market. We don't know who they are, inheriting the Al Capone riches, but my bet is they are ALP.
New York is better for having cleaned up. Australia is worse off for those wind mills. I didn't watch it, but apparently Q and A was abysmal. One bite from what I have seen .. after the fighting is over. When the dead drape the scenery in their struggle over oppression and adversity. When the cost is clear in the wasteland of what was once homes to many with dreams of a better future. The post modernist will ask "Who gets to define success? Who gets to say what is right or wrong" Something worth pondering as you survey those tyrannies which killed millions of people and were supported by communists and socialists.
Guardian article claiming Bush family funded Hitler. Meh, over stated on the Bush connection .. Bush's grandad stopped when it became apparent what Hitler was doing. Unions seemed to like what the Nazis had done, and what the Japanese had done. There is a western concept socialists don't get. It is the idea that a man is responsible for their own actions. Not their families. So at the end of the civil war, General Lee was allowed to live his life. His family was unmolested. His garden was made a graveyard .. Arlington. But, Lee's grand daughter, Harper Lee, wrote "To Kill a Mocking Bird" .. vindicating those who stopped short of eliminating the family, behind the deaths of millions, and in favour of slavery.
