8th 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

It is US election season and the Dem machine spun effectively, but the people's will asserted dominance in a few places. In one place, Virginia, The Governor, Lt Governor and Attorney General were all elected GOP. Nationally, the Democrats campaigned on calling anyone conservative racist. Apparently, unless one owns a pet black or hispanic, one begins dressing as a KKK or white supremacist. How the Dem media cabal know this is not explained, but it is worth noting there is a picture of the Dem campaigning for Virginia governor either dressed in black face or as a KKK, nobody knows which, for a party without pets. However, so called conservative media agrees the reason why the Dem campaigner failed so badly was for telling parents they had no rights in educating their own children, or in vaccinating their own children against something that is not a threat to them.  

The stunning Virginia success was copied in NJ, without the success. NJ was better geared to exploiting voter fraud. A senior senator for Dems lost to an independent trucker, before 'discovering' tens of thousands of votes post election. At least one respected pollster had projected an 11% win to Dems in NJ. The pollster apologised to GOP following. But it is another example of voter suppression. There is no excuse for a representative sample to be so out of step with the modified census. If GOP maintain the ascendancy to next year's election, they will rout Democrats in the mid terms. But only in swing states with balanced election laws allowing free and fair elections. Even iin Florida there will still be Dem controlled counties that will impede free and fair elections. 

Durham Prosecution established by Barr under Trump is claiming more results with evidence of what was already known. FBI prosecuted the Trump campaign and administration while knowing that the evidence used to justify the investigation was bogus. FBI knew that Clinton had paid for the fake Steele dossier. and yet they threw advisers to Trump in jail on trumped up charges. When it was discovered what the cabal had done, FBI has stymied investigation. It is now apparent that FBI embedded itself during the riots of 2020 with a view to challenging Trump at election. 


The Rittenhouse Trial is supposed to finish Friday 12th November, but the revelations from discovery and trial are breath taking. Rittenhouse is innocent of anything from the incident, except breaking a curfew that rioters were allowed to ignore. It turns out the US's longest serving mayor, a Democrat, was exploiting the riots and Rittenhouse, who may have been killed by any of many mayoral accomplices, survived partly by luck. It has been discovered that the FBI had video surveillance, and they deleted an HD version, possibly because it revealed many FBI agents among the rioters. Of three people Rittenhouse needed to shoot to avoid death, all were known to law in a bad way. Press had claimed Rittenhouse shot three people at random. Shooting at random in a Democrat based riot one might choose out of any three an armed felon, a wife beater and a recently released violent schizophrenic off their meds. Although the defence seems incompetent, the state's evidence appears to exonerate Rittenhouse. 
=== From recent years ===
The first woman elected to US Congress, Jeanette Rankin, was first elected on this day in 1916. She was again elected in 1940. As a Republican, she was foundational to the civil rights movement. She was a Suffragette. She was a pacifist. She never married and might have been gay. None of that precluded her from representation as a Republican. There is no evidence she was corrupt, so she could never have been a Democrat? Following her elections, US joined a world war. Maybe it is good she wasn't elected a third time? Interestingly, both US involvements in the wars involved a telegram, Mexico being invited to fight the US by Germany in WW1, and Japan signalling Pearl Harbour's attack. Neither time was the telegram anything to do with GOP, but both times Dem seized on them for war. Today, we are told that Biden would pay any invasion force $450k each. 

Also on this day, Woodrow Wilson was re-elected as President, on the promise to not involve the US in the World War. He would change his mind, but found a way to involve black regiments as cannon fodder. He would send Robert Russa Moton as an observer of the black regiments, with a view to maintaining discipline. Moton, a grandson of a slaver who was later enslaved, would later align black peoples with Dems for the New Deal. 
===

We are being lied to. But not by everyone. Our nations and their justice machinery are not broken, but damaged. Things are bad, but they are supposed to be bad, rather than merely breaking. We can't give up. We must reject the liars, and remove them from public office, and prosecute them lawfully. Things can get better, but we must persevere or risk losing hope. We must not fight the Devil by playing the Devil's game. Rather we must resist the Devil by being free. There is no law against doing what is right. Their utter depravity kills us. They target us and they seek to restrain us. But while the greatest among us a hundred years ago has died, their legacy has not. That which we are, we are. Lockdowns were ineffective in dealing with COVID. Effective medication has been denied whole populations. Herd immunity will prevail. Fraud deleteriously affected recent elections around the world. But, Democracy will prevail. Our oppressors will pass. For us to win, we must assert our freedoms. For us to lose, we must willingly surrender our freedoms forever. Our children will have to pay back our debt. We must sacrifice now so that they can. That means telling truth to power. That means pointing up when when some get confused and lose their way. Stand by the one who sacrificed their pension and freedoms to speak out. Prosecute the ones forgiven by a debauched and self interested administration. Vote for those who help you exercise your freedom. Don't wait for free speech. Exercise free speech.

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 ===
There was no blue wave? The votes suggesting one have been mass produced. Usually at night. There was a red wave which elected Trump as the most voted for GOP figure ever. Those votes coincided with crowds at rallies. Dem votes are as numerous as Dem rallies were .. small? Trump has not lost the election as media, Biden, and Australia's PM has declared. It might happen. Normally, the election officially gets declared next month. We must not let the media steal the election. Maybe SCOTUS will allow a new election sans postal votes?.

"As everyone now recognizes media polling was election interference."

Rumble — As the nation continues waiting to find out who will win the 2020 presidential contest, President Trump on Thursday delivered remarks from the White House.

===

Trump: This is a major fraud on our nation

https://rumble.com/vayfxd-trump-this-is-a-major-fraud-on-our-nation.html

Rumble — President Donald Trump: "This is a very big moment. This is a major fraud on our nation. We want the law to be used in a proper manner. So we'll be going to the U.S. Supreme Court. We want all voting to stop. We don't want them to find any ballots at 4 o'clock in the morning and add them to the list."

=== From 2017 ===
Don't give up on hope. The Australian parliament is tied up on citizenship. The Liberals have a one seat majority and they could lose that easily. The ALP clearly have membership issues, but they are obfuscating. The ALP possibly hope they can sneak into government through a bye election before they have to front up. The issue affects me. I ran for federal parliament in Jason Clare's seat in 2010. I knew I needed to get rid of my US citizenship, but I hedged my bets, and approached the US embassy. The Embassy was willing to expedite it immediately, but I said I would be very unhappy if they were to move hastily. They said "What if you are elected and it is decided that you had not vacated your dual nationality." I pointed out the document wording was to have taken the appropriate steps, and should I be elected I would immediately finalise the process I initiated. I understood that had I run again, I would need to have completed the process. Thing is, my grandmother was born in London. I can work in the UK because of that. So it may be deemed that I have citizenship of the UK. I had not even considered renouncing UK citizenship. That is a problem the High Court has stupidly dropped on the parliament. There is a reason why such retrospective laws are being enacted internationally. They are humanitarian grounds so people don't get abused as stateless Jews were prior to WW2. But it is ridiculous that the High Court interprets the constitution in a way that the framers never intended. They have read between the lines before. 

Four of the same anecdotes, spread over time. I was at a Sydney Institute event when I got onto an elevator circa 2014. Michael Kroger was there with two other senior Liberals, possibly Ruddock was one. I was star struck and embarrassed. I was wearing swim shorts as they were the only pants that fit me. I was sweaty, carrying several bags. I wanted to talk to them because I needed their help. But I froze and they turned their backs to me and spoke in low tones. Twenty years ago an aunt of mine had gone to an ALP fundraiser, $3k a head. She was dressed to the nines. Paul Keating got in the elevator with security, and turned his back on her. Tom Pocock, Horatio Nelson's biographer, records a young couple were outside the Admiral's office in the UK circa 1803. They have an awkward wait with a short, one armed veteran that turns out to be Nelson. Nelson spoke shallowly and vapidly, referring to the 'Nelson's Touch' and his exploits. He finds out that the male is a soldier who had served in India, and suddenly Nelson speaks with knowledge and insight, humorous, not boring. And the last anecdote is Donald Trump as President calling a parent of a fallen soldier and thanking them for their sacrifice. The call had been anticipated and a family friend, a Democrat Congress member, was able to overhear the call and verbal Trump. 

I have nothing but praise for Kroger, who was gracious and gave me an opportunity before going private. I have nothing but contempt for Paul Keating who thought little of his supporters. It is enlightening that we know so much of the conversation between Lord Nelson and that couple. But because of our ability to now make such connections and bring them into the public domain, politicians need to be .. diplomatic. It was despicable that a congress person politicised a personal call from President Trump. I'm sure Trump takes no pleasure from the sacrifice, and I'm also sure the President was Presidential, and humble. 
=== from 2016 ===
IPA Review features a Professor Stewart Franks article “Climate Change After a Fashion.” Despite increased understanding of natural multi decadal climate variability, AGW alarmists have stuck with failed models to make predictions. Australia under an El Nino has different expectations to Australia during La Nina. The Southern Oscillation phenomena includes the Pacific Ocean which covers some 30% of the globe. The statistical likelihood of flood in El Nino conditions is substantially different to La Nina conditions. But that has nothing to do with carbon dioxide. Plant food is still good for plants.

The US election is on a knife edge. But it is unlikely to be close. The polls shown that have Hillary with an unbeatable lead are merely an invention. Clinton may win the election, or she may not. The voting public have been harangued, but not informed by media. Some people believe that Trump said something bad eleven years ago and therefore he should not be President. Clinton as Secretary of State lost control of spending and foreign policy agenda. She has become extraordinarily rich through her failures. Clinton says she stands on her achievements. Even Obama has said she has done her best. Vote for Hillary to leave the US poor, impotent and divided. Hillary will chase away rich people. Hillary will mandate AGW religion. US debt will sky rocket, but the good news is it is only American money. Trump will unite the nation. Trump will negotiate with world leaders to improve outcomes for US peoples. Trump will #DrainTheSwamp and #MakeAmericaGreatAgain 


Meanwhile, Donald Trump’s accusers get markedly less. It is apparent they are like the Democrat paid inciters at GOP crowds. Trump has been tireless and resilient. When a Democrat activist called out ‘gun’ in a crowd, secret service acted appropriately, so the Democrat supporter still lives. As does Donald Trump. Trump’s last advert for the campaign is masterful. He rises above the low abuse of Hillary supporters and speaks of a greater America. #MakeAmericaGreatAgain #DrainTheSwamp

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. 
=== from 2015 ===
The Australian Senate refuses to make cuts to spending that are necessary. The cuts would not unduly affect service, which all agree is sub par and needs to be better. Throwing money at things doesn't make it better. Many better performing nations do with less. In High School education in Australia we have dysfunctional schools and classes that are dysfunctional even when given more. We have excellent schools and classes that are .. excellent. Money and fads won't address the needs of dysfunctional schools. There have always been dysfunctional schools. The challenge is to improve them without harming excellent ones. One Sydney Met South West school was dysfunctional circa 2008. It chose to suspend classes and get its welfare kids who identified as Aboriginal to make Aboriginal signs that were never part of Aboriginal culture. One bored teen boy attacked a bus one day, and showed a large knife to his mates outside the same bus another day. The bus driver got into trouble for reporting it to the school. Imagine if, for reasons of fairness, a good school had the money to behave that way? That is what the senate wants. 

For some, at the moment, the Sex Party has more credibility.
From 2014 
Fear itself
Islamo Fascists target the Queen. Four arrested following months of surveillance. The attack was planned for memorial day. Meanwhile a Lakemba mosque teaches children how to decapitate sheep. Meanwhile Obama who refused to leave ten thousand troops in Iraq when his advisers begged him, has decided to post 1500 troops after the Iraqi PM begged him and after many innocent people have died. 
Culture of insanity
ABC which has a charter to be balanced is broadcasting a two part hagiography of Bob Hawke and his family, has just deified Gough Whitlam, has called for the killing of Chancellor Abbott and is playing a musical tribute to Gillard. One could not make up those examples of bias. 

Culture cannot be a legal excuse for breaking the law, but Andrew Bolt posts more than a few examples of how judges are giving lenient sentences for just that reason. Feminists don't help women, they support the institutionalised Left. A basic skill for artists is that they can draw, but modern art schools are neglecting that skill and producing artists who don't have another discipline to replace it. 
Live free or die
Greens are contemplating reform to modernise their policies. Hard to know what they go for, but let us hope it isn't limited to horse drawn carriages. In Victoria, Greens are hoping to take lower house seats from the ALP. The ALP don't stand for anything either. 

Conservatives have to stand for something to get re elected. They can't allow ALP policy which hurts industry and cultural assets to stand. But if they do they will lose office, even to the corrupt. 

Palmer struggling to keep PUP alive, facing allegations of theft from a Chinese business partner and possible de-registration from lack of membership by the electoral office. Note, the electoral office verified all of my signatories and it took me days to get the fifty required.
From 2013
Today I include abuse by lefties I have fielded during the day. Not an exhaustive list, but three who happened to post on the Bolt Report Supporter's Group. Their advocacy is not that of intellectual elite, or competent. It is abusive, obfuscating and false. Much like the IPCC reports into Global Warming. Petty, inflating fine points .. The 'debate' has been lost before the left have begun to address the issues. 

A movie is being made about Gillard. To truly capture the hopes and dreams of Gillard in office, one would have thought the optimal format would have been cartoon. 

An anti semitic terrorist says he wants to be understood. But he is. A report that Adelaide will no longer be the capital of South Australia in five thousand years seems to fail in the panic motivating stakes. However, Snowtown has the pedigree and culture to take the mantle. Green activists kill a forestry worker, sparking regulations they don't like. Islamic moderate peoples call for death penalty for marital infidelity. Indonesia leans to nationalism prior to their coming election. Fairfax misleads readers. Time to repeal bad law. 
Historical perspective on this day
This day in history is marked with involvement in Vietnam, Nazism and war in Iraq. In 960, none of that was at issue as Orthodox Christians had an unusual win against Muslims at the Battle of AndrassosByzantines under Leo Phokas the Younger scored a crushing victory over the Hamdanid Emir of AleppoSayf al-Dawla. In 1278 Vietnamese leader Trần Thánh Tông, the second emperor of the Trần dynasty, decided to pass the throne to his crown prince Trần Khâmand take up the post of Retired Emperor. In 1519, Hernán Cortés entered Tenochtitlán and Aztecruler Moctezuma welcomed him with a great celebration which would be betrayed. In 1520 the Stockholm Bloodbath began: A successful invasion of Sweden by Danish forces results in the execution of around 100 people. In 1576, unity is briefly found in the Eighty Years War Pacification of Ghent – The States General of the Netherlands met and united to oppose Spanish occupation. Netherlands nonetheless have retained a national anthem pledging themselves to Spain. 

In 1602, The Bodleian Library at the University of Oxford was opened to the public. In 1605, Robert Catesby, ringleader of the Gunpowder Plotters, was killed. He had been facing 200 armed troops with a small retinue of his own. He was found shot dead, clutching an icon of the Virgin Mary. In 1614, other religious troubles saw Japanese daimyo Dom Justo Takayama exiled to the Philippines by shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu for being Christian. In 1644, the Shunzhi Emperor, the third emperor of the Qing dynasty, was enthroned in Beijing after the collapse of the Ming dynasty as the first Qing emperor to rule over China. In 1745, Charles Edward Stuart invaded England with an army of ~5000 that would later participate in the Battle of Culloden

In 1861, during the American Civil War: The "Trent Affair" – The USS San Jacinto stopped the British mail ship Trent and arrested two Confederate envoys, sparking a diplomatic crisis between Great Britain and the US. In 1892, the New Orleans general strike began, uniting blackand white American trade unionists in a successful four-day general strike action for the first time. In 1895, While experimenting with electricity, Wilhelm Röntgen discovered the X-ray. In 1898, The Wilmington Insurrection of 1898, the only instance of an attempted coup d'état in American history. It happened in South Carolina, post reconstruction. Many businesses and government positions were in the hands of hard working black people. Meanwhile white supremacist Democrats ran the pup to overthrow that and empty the town of black peoples. The governor did not ask the President for help. Democrats passed martial laws on Black peoples and restricted their vote through intimidation, securing the governorship the following election and preventing a black candidate for the senate for most of the twentieth century. One successful Democrat bigot, Hugh Macrae has a park named after him.

In 1917, The People's Commissars gave authority to Vladimir LeninLeon Trotsky, and Joseph Stalin. In 1923, the Beer Hall Putsch: In MunichAdolf Hitler led the Nazis in an unsuccessful attempt to overthrow the German government. In 1933, the Great DepressionNew Deal – US President Franklin D. Roosevelt unveiled the Civil Works Administration, an organization designed to create jobs for more than 4 million unemployed. It effectively prevented or limited growth until WW2 and today is a tyranny to basic freedoms, seeing many unemployed in a generational cycle of poverty. FDR was highly lauded for it. In 1937, the Nazis exhibited Der ewige Jude ("The Eternal Jew") in Munich. In 1939, the Venlo Incident: Two British agents of SIS were captured by the Germans. In 1939 in MunichAdolf Hitler narrowly escaped the assassination attempt of Georg Elser while celebrating the 16th anniversary of the Beer Hall Putsch. In 1940, the Greco-Italian War: The Italian invasion of Greece failed as outnumbered Greek units repulsed the Italians in the Battle of Elaia–Kalamas. It was a temporary setback, and Nazis successfully supported the Italians in another invasion later.

In 1950 the Korean WarUnited States Air Force Lt. Russell J. Brown, while piloting an F-80 Shooting Star, shot down two North KoreanMiG-15s in the first jet aircraft-to-jet aircraft dogfightin history. In 1957, Operation Grapple X, Round C1: the United Kingdom conducted its first successful hydrogen bomb test over Kiritimati in the Pacific. In 1960, John F. Kennedydefeated Richard Nixon in one of the closest presidential elections of the twentieth century to become the 35th president of the United States. Nixon had conceded so as to not do what Gore did, and divide the nation and weaken the presidency. History shows Nixon had the better numbers. In 1965, the Murder (Abolition of Death Penalty) Act 1965 was given Royal Assent, formally abolishing the death penalty in the United Kingdom. In 1965, the 173rd Airborne was ambushed by over 1,200 Viet Cong in Operation Hump during the Vietnam War, while the 1st Battalion, Royal Australian Regiment fought one of the first set-piece engagements of the war between Australian forces and the Viet Cong at the Battle of Gang Toi. In 1966 Former Massachusetts Attorney General Edward Brooke became the first African American elected to the United States Senate since Reconstruction. In 1966, U.S. President Lyndon B. Johnsonsigned into law an antitrust exemption allowing the National Football League to merge with the upstart American Football League. In 1968, the Vienna Convention on Road Traffic is signed to facilitate international road traffic and to increase road safety by standardising the uniform traffic rules among the signatories. In 1973 the right ear of John Paul Getty III is delivered to a newspaper together with a ransom note, convincing his father to pay US$2.9 million. In 1977, Manolis Andronikos, a Greek archaeologist and professor at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, discovered the tomb of Philip II of Macedon at Vergina. In 1987, Remembrance Day bombing: A Provisional IRA bomb exploded in EnniskillenNorthern Ireland during a ceremony honouring those who had died in wars involving British forces. Twelve people are killed and sixty-three wounded. In 2002, Iraq disarmament crisisUN Security Council Resolution 1441 – The United Nations Security Council unanimously approves a resolution on Iraq, forcing Saddam Hussein to disarm or face "serious consequences". In 2004, War in Iraq: More than 10,000 U.S. troops and a small number of Iraqi army units participate in a siege on the insurgent stronghold of Fallujah. In 2013, Typhoon Haiyan, one of the strongest storms in history hit the Visayas region in the Philippines. The typhoon killed 6,201 people as of 29 January 2014 and was considered the deadliest typhoon to hit the country. It caused around $1 billion in damages unofficially.
