Fri 19th November 2021 Current Affairs

My name is David Daniel Ball and I am Voice DDB dot locals dot com a voice of freedom supporting freedom around the world for all peoples. I write on historical and current affairs. I look for the conservative voice where mainstream media eschews it. Around the world media espouses liberalism orthodoxy and proclaims a history of liberalism that never happened. Liberalism of today is based on repeated lies that have been accepted from the past.

Consider these recent truths

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Intro to Locals.com

My name is David Daniel Ball I'm a teacher with three decades experience teaching math to high school kids.I also work with first graders and kids in between first grade and high school. I know the legends of why Hypatia's dad is remembered through his contribution to Math theory. And I know the legend of why followers of Godel had thought he had disproved God's existence. 

I'm not a preacher, but I am a Christian who has written over 28 books all of which include some reference to my faith. Twelve blog books on world history and current affairs, detailing world events , births and marriages on each day of the year, organised by month. Twelve books on the background to and history of Bible Quotes. One Bible quote per day for a year. An intro to a science fiction series I'm planning, post apocalyptic cyber punk. An autobiography with short story collections. 

I'm known in Australia for my failure as a whistleblower over the negligence death of a school boy. I had reported the issue responsibly and had not known I'd blown the whistle. The embarrassed left wing government had responded by imposition of a nationwide ban on the use of peanut butter in canteens, despite failing to address the issue of peanut allergy appropriately. 

I've been de-platformed on Facebook and twitter despite not being an activist. Twitter did not like me asking for Obama to face justice in 2011. FB gave no specific reason for removing me following Jan 6th 2021 in Washington DC where a policeman killed an unarmed woman, so a crowd would know he was in control.

From the Bible, Hebrews 13

Concluding Exhortations

Keep on loving one another as brothers and sisters. Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it. Continue to remember those in prison as if you were together with them in prison, and those who are mistreated as if you yourselves were suffering.

Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral. Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said,

“Never will I leave you;
    never will I forsake you.”

So we say with confidence,

“The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid.
    What can mere mortals do to me?”

Remember your leaders, who spoke the word of God to you. Consider the outcome of their way of life and imitate their faith. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.

Do not be carried away by all kinds of strange teachings. It is good for our hearts to be strengthened by grace, not by eating ceremonial foods, which is of no benefit to those who do so. We have an altar from which those who minister at the tabernacle have no right to eat.

The high priest carries the blood of animals into the Most Holy Place as a sin offering, but the bodies are burned outside the camp. And so Jesus also suffered outside the city gate to make the people holy through his own blood. Let us, then, go to him outside the camp, bearing the disgrace he bore. For here we do not have an enduring city, but we are looking for the city that is to come.

Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise—the fruit of lips that openly profess his name. And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.

Have confidence in your leaders and submit to their authority, because they keep watch over you as those who must give an account. Do this so that their work will be a joy, not a burden, for that would be of no benefit to you.

Pray for us. We are sure that we have a clear conscience and desire to live honorably in every way. I particularly urge you to pray so that I may be restored to you soon.

Benediction and Final Greetings

Now may the God of peace, who through the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, equip you with everything good for doing his will, and may he work in us what is pleasing to him, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

Brothers and sisters, I urge you to bear with my word of exhortation, for in fact I have written to you quite briefly.

I want you to know that our brother Timothy has been released. If he arrives soon, I will come with him to see you.

Greet all your leaders and all the Lord’s people. Those from Italy send you their greetings.

Grace be with you all.

Here is a video I made "I am Australian"

Here we have the lyrics to an iconic Aussie song called "I am Australian" (also known as We are Australian) which was written in 1987 by Bruce Woodley of The Seekers and Dobe Newton of The Bushwackers. It's a very patriotic song -- commonly taught in primary schools and was even one of the songs under consideration to replace our National Anthem!

=== From 2020 ===

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.

I watch Dan Bongino on Rumble and heard this on his Rumble cast. 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 he is where the US will be if Biden is allowed to cheat a win.

Don't give up on hope. US Democrats have gotten away with all sorts of corruption since FDR exploited blacks to get their votes in the 30's. Democrats have had special protection, and although investigated by the FBI at times when J Edgar Hoover was in charge, they have largely escaped scrutiny since. The Watergate scandal masked a truth that corrupt Democrats had a lot to hide. Jimmy Carter got Americans killed through incompetence, ideology and a strong desire to protect the corrupt machinery of Democrats. But all of that edifice of incompetence built up over decades, nearly a century of unreformed hooliganism. The Clinton Foundation is little different to Al Capone's bootleggers, but not as successful. Donald Trump, as President of the United States is draining the swamp. And some GOP have opposed him. 

Australian press are struggling to understand the Northcote by election result. Greens defeated ALP, Libs did not run. Fiona Richardson had held the seat from 2006 until this year, when she died of cancer. Fiona was a political animal for the ALP, having studied politics at university and married an ALP secretary. She had been Minister for Women and Minister for Prevention of Family Violence while the ALP instituted a "Safe Schools" program which appears to denigrate women and expose them to all kinds of violence. But competence is not something any ALP member needs. But how does the press protect an ALP from criticism after such an abysmal result, their first by election loss in government since 1948 in Victoria. Radio 3AW tries to put their spin on it. 3AW believe the Liberal Party should have run a candidate so as to take votes away from Greens so ALP could win. This, according to 3AW would be smart because "Greens are worse." But 3AW's analysis is awful. Neither Greens nor ALP are good stewards. Instead, what was needed, was a good conservative, independent candidate. Cory Bernardi's Conservative Party would not have fielded a candidate either. And the abysmal One Nation would never hope to win in the electorate with their policy mix. So what would an independent conservative candidate look like? 

Lots of so called independent conservatives have run in Australia, or labelled themselves that way. Kevin Rudd called himself an economic conservative. Most of those have ended up supporting left wing administrations, or hurting good government. Brian Harradine refused to pass a GST and cost the government of the day some $350 million dollars to partially privatise Telstra. But Harradine had been an ALP guy favoured by Whitlam. Four so called independent conservatives 'hanged' Nick Greiner in an act of corruption which none of those independents ever faced justice. But enough about bad apples, a good conservative (independent) would be able to explain why AGW hysteria is wrong, why Safe Schools is bad, why corruption has to be resisted, why small government is good, why excessive spending is bad and so on. And the electorate would respond to such a voice, but the press, including 3AW, would not promote such a voice. They would rather the Liberals spent money badly. That swamp in the US has reached Australian shores. 

=== from 2016 ===
A Muslim refugee from Myanmar burned a bank after being denied a welfare payment. He set himself on fire, and critically injured six people, and hospitalised thirty. He apparently has no history of mental illness or violence, until recently. He apparently came to Australia in 2013. Why didn’t he just work for money? Why does Australia have a refugee from Myanmar? Myanmar is a failed socialist state, but it isn’t Afghanistan, Iraq or Syria. Did he come by boat? He is living in Australia on a bridging visa. He self identifies as Rohingyan, an oppressed minority in Myanmar. He’ll be suffering because of his injuries. So will his victims. 

IPA Review (Nov 2016) features a Matthew Lesh article on “Australian Tax Mutineers” and it includes the Eureka Stockade Rebellion of 1854. The gold rush in Australia brought many fortune seekers, including Chinese. The miners were exploited for infrastructure development in Victoria. They organised and rebelled against the unfair taxes. As a result, after a battle at Eureka Stockade left 27 dead (22 miners, 5 troopers), Victoria ended the imposition and gave universal suffrage for males over 21. ALP claim ideological history with the movement which had individuals fighting against big government for less tax and more freedom. ALP policy has always been far removed from that ideal.

A young woman killed herself before facing justice over the November 13th Sabbath attacks in Paris. She put on a suicide vest as many many security tried to enter the premises looking for her cousin who is believed to have coordinated the atrocity. She shouted out that he wasn't her boyfriend. One woman surrounded by about twenty sodomite Jihadists all wanting to serve Allah. And her boyfriend wasn't there when she blew herself up. Her cousin is believed killed too, the others arrested. It is thought that it was another cell preparing for another sabbath slaughter in the Paris financial district. Press are disappointed the leader may have been killed. They claim that now they will never get to understand his motives. But that is absurd. What upsets the press is not being able to put words in the mouth of another Jihadi, hoping that he would copy their narrative of victimisation of Islam by the west. Many die to protect that false narrative. 

For some, at the moment, the Sex Party has more credibility.
From 2014  
You can't have diversity and division
Australia has contributed more to IS than the US or Indonesia. That is not the fault of the Islamic community, but something else. Clearly there would be the same kinds of elements within the Islamic community as in the US and Indonesia which promotes IS to the young. However, there must be in Australia value adding, and it probably is clearly observable. What ideology in Australia feeds radical Islam which is not present in the US or Indonesia? The ABC and Fairfax. Not because the ABC and Fairfax are keen to expand radical Islam, but in their unflagging support of the corrupt ALP. It is the various narratives the ABC and Fairfax present which is so appealing to radical Islam. The outrageous belief that Islam is challenged by Western Society, with welfare, interest, shared community values, child rearing, death observances. One could believe the poor pathetic Muslim was so timid in their faith one cannot smile at them without them feeling threatened. They need to obscure their women, mutilate female genitals, build edifices to pray, restrict other's rights to observances, be given free passes for law breaking, pedophilia, murder and involvement in stand over tactics. They need to be praised if they do something almost right. They need to be allowed to have history changed to suggest they were great, once. The narratives are crippling for the young, and it is no big step to see why it would seem liberating to join with a group that matches the narrative myth. 

But there is a greatness to Islam that the ABC and Fairfax and impotent Islamic leaders miss. There is a history of fruitful promise from science contributions and thought, from poetry and achievement. There is the sacrifice for the future which others have made which is missed. Otherwise there would be no Islamic people living well in Israel. Otherwise there never would have been women going to university in Afghanistan in the 1950s. The ABC and Fairfax would have you believe that radical Islam is Islam, and that it is fundamental. But it isn't. It is a sick aberration. There was a time Islam worked with Jews and Christians together. Now all they seem capable of is organising their poorest to give money to their wealthiest and give blood as they take it from innocent peoples, including other Muslims. They praise the parasites who attack artists and writers and care givers. They assault archaeology and they burrow tunnels to hide weapons that also are hidden in hospitals or schools. They use human shields. They have tv programs for the young which spout hate and promote the belief that suicide killing is desirable. Their soldiers fear being killed by women. And to crown their achievement, the hate directed bigots of the ADL would have it said that all Islamic peoples are the same and that the terror culture is endemic to the faith of Islam. Since when did ADL narrative match the ABC, Fairfax and ALP? 


And the ALP are profiting from the divide between the narrative and silent majority. Corrupt funding from unions using strong armed tactics rooted in drugs and Islamo fascist muscle. Or kowtowing to electoral masses whose voice has been seized by the fascists. Since when did the ALP support fascists? The problem is the media have covered up the truth. Their narrative is jealously protected, their history secured. Schools have a curriculum which obscures history and inculcated ideology and resists critical thinking. The truth is, there is no diversity if there is division. 

Flipside of the coin
Four Rabbis are murdered in Israel. They were killed after media reported inflated lies that Israel planned to disassemble a mosque. Obama, who has forced Israel to give away stone cold killers for peace, now equivocates (”Too many Israelis have died. Too many Palestinians have died.”). Bob Carr, who as foreign minister declared that Israel was to blame for her pain, ducks. Bob Carr wrote on November 8
Palestinians have been part of a peace process for 25 years (whereas) Israel has gone from ... cosmopolitan to chauvinist, with some ministers ­espousing a brand of radical ­nationalism like that of France’s Le Pen or Austria’s Jorg Haider.…. In 1977 the Palestine Liberation Organisation was blowing up planes. Now for 25 years Palestinians have been committed to a neg­otiated solution.
Meanwhile, Obama is rebuked for alarmism he disseminated at the G20. 
Federal Coalition members are ... angry at the US President’s public intervention in the Australian climate change debate at the G20 last Saturday, when most of his remarks in the summit’s closed session on energy, where the issue was discussed, were devoted to US gas supplies and production that have been boosted by coal-seam gas and shale oil…
Senior Queensland government MPs are so angry at Mr Obama’s remarks about the Great Barrier Reef and his attack on coal production in a resources state that they are considering a formal complaint.
The joker says
Feminazis attack scientist for colourful shirt and an entrepreneur for a plain shirt. The common denominator being they are both successful men. If they wanted to not be criticised by the fright bats they could:
  • Have babies with another man
  • Invite Obama to dinner and golf
  • Rape a child like a European movie producer
In terms of achievement, with a hope for the future, it is best to ignore such frightbats. 
Global warming, or weather
Record cold US weather lasting weeks, or warm Australian weather lasting a day? Both are arguably evidence of global warming, but only the cold weather suggests the fact the world is not warming and hasn't for sixteen years. People are suffering from the snow. People are at the beach in the warmth. Don't blame plant food. 
Well remunerated bigots
ABC is trashing its core business and sucking up commercial space in order to appeal to commercial markets of youth at the expense of its' charter. Challenged to find five percent efficiency, the ABC are holding onto their expensive, biased journalists, but closing down state based news and current affairs programs and shutting down tv production in South Australia. Note, South Australia is the only state with an ALP government, and so it doesn't need a production facility there to be biased. 

Hand picked bigot Jonathon Holmes who is host of Media Watch cannot see the bias of the ABC. He has not illustrated how the ABC is balanced, only asserted that that is so. 
More of the same
Lambie and Muir lied. They had struck a deal with the government allowing reform of the finance industry. Now they have changed their minds. Not because the reforms are bad, but their relationship with Clive Palmer is shaky. 

Greens upset by history. Mr Abbott said that before the first fleet sailed into Sydney Harbour in 1788, the place was bush. Which it was. 
From 2013
no article due to GIO Insurance fail .. however, text from the Gettysburg Address
Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. 
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. 
But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate, we can not consecrate, we can not hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

Today's Old Testament reading: Ezekiel 8-10

Idolatry in the Temple


1 In the sixth year, in the sixth month on the fifth day, while I was sitting in my house and the elders of Judah were sitting before me, the hand of the Sovereign LORD came on me there.2 I looked, and I saw a figure like that of a man. From what appeared to be his waist down he was like fire, and from there up his appearance was as bright as glowing metal. 3 He stretched out what looked like a hand and took me by the hair of my head. The Spirit lifted me up between earth and heaven and in visions of God he took me to Jerusalem, to the entrance of the north gate of the inner court, where the idol that provokes to jealousy stood. 4 And there before me was the glory of the God of Israel, as in the vision I had seen in the plain.
5 Then he said to me, “Son of man, look toward the north.” So I looked, and in the entrance north of the gate of the altar I saw this idol of jealousy.
6 And he said to me, “Son of man, do you see what they are doing—the utterly detestable things the Israelites are doing here, things that will drive me far from my sanctuary? But you will see things that are even more detestable....”

Today's New Testament reading: Hebrews 13

Concluding Exhortations
1 Keep on loving one another as brothers and sisters. 2 Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it. 3 Continue to remember those in prison as if you were together with them in prison, and those who are mistreated as if you yourselves were suffering.
4 Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral. 5 Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said,

“Never will I leave you;
never will I forsake you....”

Morning


"A spring shut up, a fountain sealed."
Song of Solomon 4:12
In this metaphor, which has reference to the inner life of a believer, we have very plainly the idea of secrecy. It is a spring shut up: just as there were springs in the East, over which an edifice was built, so that none could reach them save those who knew the secret entrance; so is the heart of a believer when it is renewed by grace: there is a mysterious life within which no human skill can touch. It is a secret which no other man knoweth; nay, which the very man who is the possessor of it cannot tell to his neighbour. The text includes not only secrecy, but separation. It is not the common spring, of which every passer-by may drink, it is one kept and preserved from all others; it is a fountain bearing a particular mark--a king's royal seal, so that all can perceive that it is not a common fountain, but a fountain owned by a proprietor, and placed specially by itself alone. So is it with the spiritual life. The chosen of God were separated in the eternal decree; they were separated by God in the day of redemption; and they are separated by the possession of a life which others have not; and it is impossible for them to feel at home with the world, or to delight in its pleasures. There is also the idea of sacredness. The spring shut up is preserved for the use of some special person: and such is the Christian's heart. It is a spring kept for Jesus. Every Christian should feel that he has God's seal upon him--and he should be able to say with Paul, "From henceforth let no man trouble me, for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus." Another idea is prominent--it is that of security. Oh! how sure and safe is the inner life of the believer! If all the powers of earth and hell could combine against it, that immortal principle must still exist, for he who gave it pledged his life for its preservation. And who "is he that shall harm you," when God is your protector?

Evening


"Thou art from everlasting."
Psalm 93:2

Christ is Everlasting. Of him we may sing with David, "Thy throne, O God, is forever and ever." Rejoice, believer, in Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today, and forever. Jesus always was. The Babe born in Bethlehem was united to the Word, which was in the beginning, by whom all things were made. The title by which Christ revealed himself to John in Patmos was, "Him which is, and which was, and which is to come." If he were not God from everlasting, we could not so devoutly love him; we could not feel that he had any share in the eternal love which is the fountain of all covenant blessings; but since he was from all eternity with the Father, we trace the stream of divine love to himself equally with his Father and the blessed Spirit. As our Lord always was, so also he is for evermore. Jesus is not dead; "He ever liveth to make intercession for us." Resort to him in all your times of need, for he is waiting to bless you still. Moreover, Jesus our Lord ever shall be. If God should spare your life to fulfil your full day of threescore years and ten, you will find that his cleansing fountain is still opened, and his precious blood has not lost its power; you shall find that the Priest who filled the healing fount with his own blood, lives to purge you from all iniquity. When only your last battle remains to be fought, you shall find that the hand of your conquering Captain has not grown feeble--the living Saviour shall cheer the dying saint. When you enter heaven you shall find him there bearing the dew of his youth; and through eternity the Lord Jesus shall still remain the perennial spring of joy, and life, and glory to his people. Living waters may you draw from this sacred well! Jesus always was, he always is, he always shall be. He is eternal in all his attributes, in all his offices, in all his might, and willingness to bless, comfort, guard, and crown his chosen people.

I am a decent man and don't care for the abuse given me. I created a video raising awareness of anti police feeling among western communities. I chose the senseless killing of Nicola Cotton, a Louisiana policewoman who joined post Katrina, to highlight the issue. I did this in order to get an income after having been illegally blacklisted from work in NSW for being a whistleblower. I have not done anything wrong. Local council appointees refused to endorse my work, so I did it for free. Youtube's Adsence refused to allow me to profit from their marketing it. Meanwhile, I am hostage to abysmal political leadership and hopeless journalists. My shopfront has opened on Facebook.

I am publishing a book called Bread of Life: January.

Bread of Life is a daily bible quote with a layman's understanding of the meaning. I give one quote for each day, and also a series of personal stories illustrating key concepts eg Who is God? What is a miracle? Why is there tragedy?


January is the first of the anticipated year-long work of thirteen books. One for each month and the whole year. It costs to publish. It (Kindle version) should retail at about $2US online, but the paperback version would cost more, according to production cost.If you have a heart for giving, I fundraise at gofund.me/27tkwuc (Gofundme finished the fund raiser, 2017)
