Consider these recent truths
It is apparent that ANTIFA and BLM riots, defund the police and COVID crises were confected to dog whistle Democrat support and antagonise conservatives. At the same time, Tech oligarchs exploited social media and the internet more broadly. This time last year, a browser of mine refused to allow me to access my MAGAbook account as it identified the site as being 'unsafe.' Think about what that intrusion means. MAGABook is a FB competitor. I would later be booted off FB, after I'd not posted for awhile but had been using it to access my internet history. The excuse for taking all my FB data since 2007 despite my postings being sparse and not politically related, following Jan 6th 2021, was because `I had already been marked a long time earlier. My online shop had been sabotaged so that I could not sell any of my books. My youtube account had been shadow banned and only videos thought to embarrass me were visible to the public.
Today is a big day for
In 1582, in Stratford-upon-Avon, William Shakespeare and Anne Hathaway paid a £40 bond for their marriage licence. In 1627, the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth Navy had its greatest and last victory in the Battle of Oliwa. In 1660, at Gresham College, twelve men, including Christopher Wren, Robert Boyle, John Wilkins, and Sir Robert Moray decided to found what is later known as the Royal Society. In 1666, at least 3,000 men of the Scottish Royal Army led by Tam Dalyell of the Binns defeated about 900 Covenanter rebels in the Battle of Rullion Green. In 1785, The Treaty of Hopewell was signed. In 1811, Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 5 in E-flat major, Op. 73, premiered at the Gewandhaus in Leipzig. In 1814, The Times in London was for the first time printed by automatic, steam-powered presses built by the German inventors Friedrich Koenig and Andreas Friedrich Bauer, signaling the beginning of the availability of newspapers to a mass audience. In 1893, New Zealand became the first country in which women vote in a national election. In 1895, the first American automobile race took place over the 54 miles from Chicago's Jackson Park to Evanston, Illinois. Frank Duryea won in approximately 10 hours. In 1905, Irish nationalist Arthur Griffith founded Sinn Féin as a political party with the main aim of establishing a dual monarchy in Ireland. In 1907, in Haverhill, Massachusetts, scrap-metal dealer Louis B. Mayer opened his first movie theatre. In 1909, Sergei Rachmaninoff made the debut performance of his Piano Concerto No. 3, considered to be one of the most technically challenging piano concertos in the standard classical repertoire. In 1919, Lady Astor was elected as a Member of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. She was the first woman to sit in the House of Commons. (Countess Markievicz, the first to be elected, refused to sit.) In 1920, Irish War of Independence: Kilmichael Ambush – The Irish Republican Army ambushed a convoy of British Auxiliaries and killed seventeen. In 1925, the Grand Ole Opry began broadcasting in Nashville, Tennessee, as the WSM Barn Dance.In 1964, Mariner program: NASA launched the Mariner 4 probe toward Mars. Also, Vietnam War: National Security Council members agreed to recommend that U.S. President Lyndon B. Johnson adopt a plan for a two-stage escalation of bombing in North Vietnam. In 1965, Vietnam War: In response to U.S. President Lyndon B. Johnson's call for "more flags" in Vietnam, Philippine President-elect Ferdinand Marcos announced he would send troops to help fight in South Vietnam.
From 2013
The left are crowing at being able to drown people who are desperate and poor. They call it compassion. In order to achieve their aim, they needed to attack Australia's foreign relations with Indonesia and China. A highly partisan ABC have taken the lead as an opposition since the ALP collapsed in its popularity. Fairfax polls were produced showing it to be ALP Christmas time. But, it is still early days. The ALP are not popular. ABC journalists are not competent and the improvement benefits of a conservative government have not been hammered home .. or away. NSW State government has been unfairly criticised. Bolt has pointed his finger of balance. But despite Bolt wanting to see the ALP make one good decision, anywhere, they stubbornly resist.
The threat to label a child for not attending a museum is obscene. Education committees agonise over how to give a child a broad liberal education. But it is parents that make the best decisions. A system might be very bad, but few would notice as the parents do what they do. ALP failed Australia with its attempt at Gonski reform. Liberals are setting it right. Maybe some programs will have to be cut. But that will be a good thing. No essential program will be cut. The worst thing that will happen is that teachers will be forced to do what they are paid to do. Something that has never fussed the ABC.
There is a rumour that Tanya Plibersek will roll Shorten over an allegation of sexual assault. I had predicted it would be Jason Clare. Shorten's bad decision making seems to be geared to making it easier to roll him. The allegation is premature if that were the intention, because for drama reasons Clare would need to assert himself with less than a year to go to an election. But Tanya Plibersek may want to be the incompetent that gets toppled, if Shorten is incapable of being merely incompetent. Remember, none of the ALP have shown ability on any issue.
There is a need to cut and control spending. It is untenable that our children be forced to live worse than we do, to pay for our comforts. Or worse, to be indebted to people who do not celebrate freedom, liberty or equality. Yet the ALP in Australia, and Democrats in the US threaten exactly that. The Australian federal budget cuts were modest, but they must get bigger the longer they are delayed. Meanwhile, extremist leftwing organisations like the ABC, challenged to cut their fingernails with 5%, are cutting off their own limbs and refusing to do core services. Tonight, the second last 7:30 report in NSW was dedicated to opposing Liberal government policy on selling assets to pay for infrastructure. But that is what good government does. It is not the role of good government to maintain pricey services and not build infrastructure.
Frightbats, proud of their efforts to hurt and abuse decent people in triumph of the left, have a party in which they claim to drink the tears of some of their victims. Poet Ben Pobjie defends his abuse of Sean Abbott and Tony Abbott, but fails to account for it. Such rudeness is inexcusable, but mean and small. Meanwhile in the US the meme of white racism is resulting in riots and death. The abuses of the left are not responsible behaviour.
A new report is out describing how Clive Palmer initiated his own political demise by attacking China, apparently illegally. Two jihadist males being tried in an Australian Court refuse to stand for the judge. This threatens many and suggests intimidation. Before it goes much further, contempt of court rulings should settle it. It works with non jihadists too.
The tragic death of Phil Hughes has not been publicly resolved yet. The public will not move on until they are allowed. But a tragic death like this, lamentable and sad, is also a cultural asset. Twelve cricketers have died as a result of their play on the field. Including the Prince of Wales in 1751.
- "Here lies poor Fred who was alive and is dead,
- Had it been his father I had much rather,
- Had it been his sister nobody would have missed her,
- Had it been his brother, still better than another,
- Had it been the whole generation, so much better for the nation,
- But since it is Fred who was alive and is dead,
- There is no more to be said!"
For some, at the moment, the Sex Party has more credibility.
Today Cam's article "Misguided, not terrorists" quotes Seyit "It is time that we take a responsible approach to the issue and reduce the risk of feeding into the right-wing and racist elements in society, which has seen a sudden increase in supporters in the past two years in Australia"
The issue of todays's article is related to a refugee who burned a bank in Springvale, critically injuring people as he set himself on fire after not getting welfare benefits he felt entitled to. Terrorism or not, is it acceptable behaviour for the faith? It harms Islamic Australian relations when entitlement trumps reason and the safety of innocent others. It brings Islam into disrepute.
IPA Review (Nov 2016) features a Georgina Downer article “The High Cost of Populism” on Populist governments threatening trade and prosperity. Downer naively compares President elect Trump’s rhetoric with Pauline Hanson’s policies and makes wrong conclusions. Populism does threaten prosperity, as ALP leader Shorten has demonstrated with over three years of preventing necessary cuts to spending. There is no benefit to Australia for Shorten to do so. The benefit to Shorten is that an ABCC does not examine his past union dealings. Australia is paying a high price to get an ABCC because of Shorten’s opposition and Nick Xenophon Party’s control of the senate. Trump is promising something different to Hanson. Trump is promising to tear up bad deals and replace them with good deals. With good deals everyone wins. With bad deals nobody does. NAFTA is a dog’s breakfast thanks to the ‘leadership’ of Obama. By way of contrast, Hanson is hostile to foreign trade. Hanson and Trump do not compare. Australia wants to export sugar. US farmers want to export sugar too. There is room for both with the right deal.
From 2017
Don't give up on hope. A Harvard professor believes many ADHD cases are fraudulent. Donald Trump is draining the swamp. A radical justice group is calling for human rights for worst case offenders. Possibly the death sentence is preferable? Corporal punishment? A 20 yo Australian, born to Somalian refugees, has been arrested for wanting to carry out a terrorist hit. Many are wondering how the Australian was radicalised. It was probably because of unhinged schooling and media. Not everyone responds that way.
The lawyer that told Dan Andrews the East West Link contract was not worth the paper it was written on, but it was in fact $1.2 billion, has been made a judge in Victoria's highest court. In Honduras, conservative government has raised the standard of living, but the government is being beaten at election by a left wing tv compere who claims the government had been corruptly raising the standard of living. Senator James Paterson had released a discussion paper before the end of SSM vote on protections needed moving forward. That should have been part of bilateral discussion during the election. It is needed.
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.

From the Bible, 1 Peter 5
To the Elders and the Flock
To the elders among you, I appeal as a fellow elder and a witness of Christ’s sufferings who also will share in the glory to be revealed: Be shepherds of God’s flock that is under your care, watching over them—not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be; not pursuing dishonest gain, but eager to serve; not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock. And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that will never fade away.
In the same way, you who are younger, submit yourselves to your elders. All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because,
“God opposes the proud
but shows favor to the humble.”
Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.
Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings.
And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast. To him be the power for ever and ever. Amen.
Final Greetings
With the help of Silas, whom I regard as a faithful brother, I have written to you briefly, encouraging you and testifying that this is the true grace of God. Stand fast in it.
She who is in Babylon, chosen together with you, sends you her greetings, and so does my son Mark. Greet one another with a kiss of love.
Peace to all of you who are in Christ.

The evidence of Fraud in the 2020 election, so widespread is harmful for democracy. It must be addressed. It was not solely the 2020 election, apparently, but had failed in 2016 after Trump over performed then, as he has now. Trump was so good in 2020, that the fraud became evident. It also highlights the possibility that voter fraud extended to 2006 and underpinned Obama's rise. As did big tech collusion. Recently, every one of my browsers would not let me access MAGAbook, citing privacy concerns.
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.

Why would a scientist embrace Christianity?
The point being made is that science offers facts and is verifiable. Christianity does not seem to do that. But it is a misleading question because Christianity is a faith, not a science and not relevant to science, although there are some who try hard to reconcile the faith with the science.
A valid point, but unworthy, is that science is not fact based or verifiable, as climate research has shown us, but there is a case for comparing science and Christianity and seeing how they apply to individuals. The title question is misleading because scientists can be Christians and have no issues with their discipline interacting with their faith. But, some individuals fail to reconcile their faith and their science.
Following is a few thoughts.
Science does not disprove God. Also science does not make sense of who God is and what characteristics God would have. Whatever questions science examines, are not relevant to God. God is not infinite in the scientific sense, nor does God have infinite scientific intelligence as we seem to believe we have in encyclopedia. God is described in the Bible as being the beginning and the end, and creating Earth and the Heavens, but the definitions become meaningless when examining them under the guise of physics or chemistry. Yet they have great wisdom and application for examining the role an individual has in including God in their life.
No sane person will use the Bible to build a rocket ship, navigate by stars or calculate Pi. In writing that, I am aware that that view is contentious and that there are many literalists who would feel compelled to argue with me on that point. I am willing to do so, or ignore them, in much the same way that scientists are slow to address the glaring deficiencies of the IPCC and climate research. Or the study of race. Or phrenology. It is admitted that whole communities are involved with the insane, but that is hardly the fault of Christianity or science.
It is an oft used argument that Christians choose their religion as a crutch, to feel good in difficult times. There is substantial satisfaction for Christians in maintaining their faith. Were it to be argued that such rewards are natural; a result of evolution, that would hardly disprove the existence of God. For surely that would be the way God rewards his faithful. But does science make people happy? Can science provide security for an individual as they go through their lives? Every one will experience loss in their lives. Loss of a parent, siblings, love, pets, witnessing desire evolve through dissatisfaction. It is probably natural for scientists to yearn for the comforts that Christianity provides.
Which brings me back to my original point. Christianity offers facts which are verifiable, in much the same way that science does .. but the facts and the verification process are not the same because they aren't for the same class of studies. A Christian finds their faith challenged daily, and each day provides an affirmation for their faith. Much as each day provides an affirmation for science as it allows people to explore the furthest reaches of the known universe.

Last week, after receiving reliable information that the prominent Labor Party figure accused of rape was none other than Bill Shorten, I wrote the following:
[The name of the testosterone-infused accused is now known widely within the Victorian legal fraternity.
“But why would someone wait this long to report a rape?” I asked.
The explanation given was that she has lived with the traumatic experience for 27 years with the emotional support of her girlfriend who was with her at the time but not a witness to the alleged rape.
Now she can’t switch on the TV without hearing his name and seeing his contorted face. She has to relive the cowardly attack over and over again.
The treacherously ambitious Deputy Leader of the Opposition, Tanya Plibersek, has urged a full investigation. Hmmm, I’ll say no more.]
Well allow me, in anger, to say a little bit more now.
As a commentator I have always been politically agnostic. I have no affiliation with any party and nor do I want to have. If I believe either side is wrong I say so. I value my independence, I have been equally hated by both sides and defamed by those of the Left who fear my influence... and I don’t care.
I am, and always have been, a newspaperman first. I was brought up on the smell of ink and hot metal and the deafening rumbling of presses.
I have worked for them all, from David Syme to Fairfax and Murdoch and I treasure those dim memories of Press propriety.
Frenetic urgency, but never at the expense of accuracy, was our statement of faith never to be violated. Fairness and impartiality were bywords prominent in my “style” book.
My anger is not directed at the accused. Labor’s well-documented record of fraud, paedophilia and racketeering is known to all. It’s in their DNA and it always has been. It has not changed in the half century since I worked for Labor unions and it will not change in future.
Bill Shorten, Federal Labor Opposition leader, is now under police investigation for the rape of a 16 yo girl. Julia Gillard is currently (and during her Prime Ministership) under police investigation for fraud. Michael Williamson, National President of the ALP, has pled guilty to having defrauded his HSU members of $1 million. Eddie Obied, Craig Thomson... oh, forget the rest, the list is far too long.
My anger is reserved for our disintegrating media... and it really doesn’t know why it is disintegrating. It is lost in a vacuum between old intrepid reporting and a new digital age.
People have stopped listening to it. They no longer believe it. The radical Left has infiltrated every corner of it, destroying its moral ethic of impartiality and truth.
Blogs have mushroomed to fill the void but battle to be heard.
No better example of the Left’s destructive bias was Fairfax’s and the ABC’s gay vanguard, David Marr’s reporting of an accusation that a wall may have been punched by Abbott 30 years ago.
Although there was no witness, it was the Left's grand expose of Abbott’s possible hatred of women and his possible violent nature.
And the media’s Left spent ten days of excited hyperventilation covering that possibility.
Now that Bill Shorten has been accused of raping a young girl, the silence from the Left of the media is sickeningly deafening.
No suggestion that he stand down while the investigation is in progress. No, nothing, not one word, not one question. Only the inaudible mumblings of "a presumption of innocence" apply to Labor's accused.
Documented evidence shows Gillard, Shorten and others were complicit in the massive AWU WRA fraud. Still not a left-handed pen is lifted in anger!
Move on readers, there’s nothing to see here.
A Pennsylvania judge who Nov. 25 blocked the state from going forward with additional steps that might be required to certify the state's presidential vote said in a written opinion that changes to the Pennsylvania's mail-in balloting procedures were likely illegal. [Full Story]

The longest running attraction on Coney Island was the incubators .. they had been invented in France for premature babies and no US Hospital had them .. so when babies were born prematurely, they could have a space in an incubator, and paying public could watch them thrive .. or not .. 29th November 2013
Good leadership fosters talent. I noted this while chatting to an ex Liberal Minister today. A great leader can get the same players to perform exceptionally when a poor leader can't. For example, Howard and Turnbull. The Howard ministry was uber talented in '07. Most of the same people were second raters under Turnbull in '09. The difference was not the team, but the leadership. And sometimes the team don't see why they do better under good leaders. I noted that chatting to the former minister who does not like Tony Abbott. It sounded like a religious thing, with Tony seeming to be a religion insider, and the former minister was not. What was really fascinating was being privy to the former minister's reasoning. They still use the classic undermining lines like "Tony's office became closed to communications from insiders" This during the time Abbott had been under siege from press and colleagues. That might be what the backstabbing bedwetters comfort themselves with, but the truth is the plotters shut down the lines of communication. Tony is capable of healing the party, but the party, under Turnbull, has become so dysfunctional it may not be possible. But don't lose hope.
IPA Review (Nov 2016) features a Bella D’Abrera article “Will of the People” brilliantly comparing the elite politicians of today with those who opposed the grassroots Chartist movement of the early nineteenth century. Chartism was not very effective, and was probably more of a Whigg tool to beat conservatives, much as guns today are used by the left wing to oppose conservative government. With the case of guns, Lefties snivel about a constitution they never respected anyway. But the elite Democrats don’t want gun control, they want to blame GOP for not controlling guns. Only, as with Ohio, guns can be useful in the right hands. Chartists wanted an expanded vote. But not women voting. Just like Democrats of today, Chartists were ahead of their time. And bigoted.
For some, at the moment, the Sex Party has more credibility.
A corrupt, unreformed ALP have won the Victorian election. There is now an opportunity for the Victorian Liberals to find real leadership with vision. All things being fair a competent Liberal government will always lose to a corrupt ALP, because of the partisan press. So the Libs have to be better than competent. They need a leader who has a conservative vision. Not someone who falls for populism, as with AGW hysteria, or the white racism meme, or with suppression of free speech, but one who is compassionate, fair and a believer in the benefits of small government and prosperity. Napthine only had a year, but he seems too old and too compromised, having failed to challenge the corrupt institutions which support ALP power.
Liberal party infighting alleged the eve of Victoria's election over the issue of medicare co payments. It isn't the Liberals or Nationals at fault on the issue. The chief problem is Palmer secured a blocking vote and has opposed good legislation for his own reasons. So that most of the independents have almost the same voting record as the ALP. Advice is given to Libs to threaten the public with ALP government by an early election they could lose like Victoria. The threat is appealing for those outside government keen to see action. But Palmer and PUP are imploding and there is promise for the future by sticking to their guns. If an early election is not called, then the ALP are frozen from power, and reliant on Greens and independents to support them, which they won't, always.
Boat turned back from Sri Lanka, but one of 37 goes to Nauru. Sarah Hanson-Young claims 36 were arrested back in Sri Lanka. In her fantasy world, they were better off compassionately drowned.
Poet Ben Pobjie attack the government from the ABC after failing to justify his offensive tweet on Phil Hughes. Martin Flanagan defends the ABC from the AGE, claiming that the ABC is not partisan, like he is. Two more quit Clive Palmer's PUP, these two from Northern Territory.
Phil Hughes is compared to Victor Trumper, the best Austraian batsman before Bradman. It would be a formidable team which had openers of Trumper and Hughes, followed by Archie Jackson at first drop. Clarke's tears for Hughes. Very different than Kim Hughes resignation. Clarke is a man of substance, an aggressive, capable batsman and leader, and a great leader.
Foreign investment is good. There may be exceptions where something is not in the national interest. Hockey correctly found one. Ten years of turkeys calling out rude names to President Bush, but they forgive Obama. Is it wrong to ask the gay community to denounce the bigots exploiting their issues? Even Gareth Evans recognises what the ALP are doing across issues is wrong.
Australian business has improved investment by 3.6% in the September quarter .. thank you Mr Abbott.
It is time to release Jonathon Pollard. Release him now, and begin working on a substantial package of compensation.
Below, there is an evil meme comparing the holocaust with atrocities against Native Americans. In Australia, a myth of a stolen generation has resulted in harm against indigenous peoples. Failure to recognise the holocaust is another monstrous wrong. What is it that activists are demanding? Strehlow's accounts of Journey to Horseshoe Bend is not an account that legitimates continued abuse of Aboriginal peoples. Are activists demanding more government intervention in native American peoples?

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)
