Sat 13th 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

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 the Bible, Hebrews 9

Worship in the Earthly Tabernacle

Now the first covenant had regulations for worship and also an earthly sanctuary. A tabernacle was set up. In its first room were the lampstand and the table with its consecrated bread; this was called the Holy Place. Behind the second curtain was a room called the Most Holy Place, which had the golden altar of incense and the gold-covered ark of the covenant. This ark contained the gold jar of manna, Aaron’s staff that had budded, and the stone tablets of the covenant. Above the ark were the cherubim of the Glory, overshadowing the atonement cover. But we cannot discuss these things in detail now.

When everything had been arranged like this, the priests entered regularly into the outer room to carry on their ministry. But only the high priest entered the inner room, and that only once a year, and never without blood, which he offered for himself and for the sins the people had committed in ignorance. The Holy Spirit was showing by this that the way into the Most Holy Place had not yet been disclosed as long as the first tabernacle was still functioning. This is an illustration for the present time, indicating that the gifts and sacrifices being offered were not able to clear the conscience of the worshiper. They are only a matter of food and drink and various ceremonial washings—external regulations applying until the time of the new order.

The Blood of Christ

But when Christ came as high priest of the good things that are now already here, he went through the greater and more perfect tabernacle that is not made with human hands, that is to say, is not a part of this creation. He did not enter by means of the blood of goats and calves; but he entered the Most Holy Place once for all by his own blood, thus obtaining eternal redemption. The blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer sprinkled on those who are ceremonially unclean sanctify them so that they are outwardly clean. How much more, then, will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences from acts that lead to death, so that we may serve the living God!

For this reason Christ is the mediator of a new covenant, that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance—now that he has died as a ransom to set them free from the sins committed under the first covenant.

In the case of a will, it is necessary to prove the death of the one who made it, because a will is in force only when somebody has died; it never takes effect while the one who made it is living. This is why even the first covenant was not put into effect without blood. When Moses had proclaimed every command of the law to all the people, he took the blood of calves, together with water, scarlet wool and branches of hyssop, and sprinkled the scroll and all the people. He said, “This is the blood of the covenant, which God has commanded you to keep.” In the same way, he sprinkled with the blood both the tabernacle and everything used in its ceremonies. In fact, the law requires that nearly everything be cleansed with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.

It was necessary, then, for the copies of the heavenly things to be purified with these sacrifices, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. For Christ did not enter a sanctuary made with human hands that was only a copy of the true one; he entered heaven itself, now to appear for us in God’s presence. Nor did he enter heaven to offer himself again and again, the way the high priest enters the Most Holy Place every year with blood that is not his own. Otherwise Christ would have had to suffer many times since the creation of the world. But he has appeared once for all at the culmination of the ages to do away with sin by the sacrifice of himself. Just as people are destined to die once, and after that to face judgment, so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him.

Here is a video I made "Top of the World"
"Top of the World" is the name of a 1973 song by The Carpenters. The song topped the Billboard Hot 100 in 1973, becoming the duo's second U.S. number-one single. Originally intended to be only an album cut for the Carpenters, Lynn Anderson covered the song; Anderson's version reached #2 on the U.S. country singles charts in mid-1973. The success of Anderson's version prompted the Carpenters to release a new version as a single, where it topped the U.S. pop singles chart. Karen Carpenter re-recorded the song for the band's first compilation as she was not quite satisfied with the original. Brother Richard Carpenter has remixed the song's vocals, most recently for their 35th Anniversary Gold compilation.

Weekly Jobless Claims Hit Lowest Level Since March

https://bongino.com/weekly-jobless-claims-hit-lowest-level-since-march

  • Jobless claims totaled 709,000 last week, the Labor Department reported, below the 740,000 Wall Street forecast.
  • That represented a decline from the 757,000 total a week ago.
  • More than 21 million Americans are still collecting benefits, though the total is declining gradually.

To clarify; weekly jobless claims are not on net basis – i.e. it doesn’t mean that there were 709,000 jobs lost last week – it means that 709,000 people filed for unemployment without accounting for how many people gained employment during the same time period. We don’t get the full picture until the jobs report is released on the first Friday of every month.

The Media’s Premature Coronation

https://bongino.com/the-medias-premature-coronation

Apart from a few holdouts, everyone in the media is acting as if the final outcome of this year’s Presidential election is conclusively settled. A survey of headlines at The New York Times yesterday offers “Transition updates,” a “disinformation tracker” dedicated to smearing anything and anyone calling a Biden win into question, not to mention an article whose title begins, “The Election is Over, but…” alongside a piece talking about which segment of the population helped to deliver Biden a win. Today the Times upped the ante, and featured an allusion to President Trump behaving as a dictator because he is pursuing recounts and legal challenges in a close election. One has to read past the first four paragraphs—and an ad—before encountering the admission that “The parallel is not exact.” Other outlets have featured articles about whom Biden will pick for key cabinet positions, which executive orders he will issue, etc. All the mainstream media outlets—even Fox News—have been unified in referring to Joe Biden as the “President-elect,” and treating him accordingly.

=== From 2017 ===
Don't give up on hope. Frankston bus depot at the railway station in Melbourne was given a $13 million refit by Dan Andrews as part of a multi billion dollar network upgrade. Typical of an Andrews project, planning failed and now buses intended for the network don't fit and more money is needed to fix the upgrade. That is why Andrews is raising taxes as his spending spirals out of control. That profligate spending is what Queensland ALP are campaigning on. Meanwhile the press are trying hard to diminish the LNP policy platform which is fiscally responsible and beneficial. The press are really worried that One Nation will gift power to the LNP. Traditionally, a vote for One Nation has meant increased support for ALP through the vagaries of the electoral system. Meanwhile a new One Nation senator has bailed within moments of being given the seat. And all the votes One Nation gained in getting that senator are now given to an independent. One struggles to think what One Nation has doe to deserve that. 

Peter Van Onselen has realised that backing Turnbull was a mistake. Turnbull was popular, but had no ability. Van Onselen wants the popular Bishop to replace Turnbull. She also has no ability. If Van Onselen were a Liberal member, he'd be a bedwetter. Abbott had been fighting the culture wars and looked like doing what Trump did in Abbott's second term, when Turnbull knifed Abbott. Turnbull has since led the Liberals into a ditch. And Tony Abbott might not want to be the punching bag again.
=== from 2016 ===
Media cheers in Orange the “Trump like” success of the Shooter’s Party. The same press that openly despise Trump’s agenda, and the Shooter Party’s agenda. And the National Party. The result has very little to do with anything international or broad Libertarian movements up-ending conservatism. It reflects a protest on two issues, one removed from Orange. Orange has been a Nationals strong hold for 70 years. Liberal party leader Mike Baird has responsibly cut service of alcohol hours in Kings Cross, and initiated closure proceedings against greyhound racing until he was assured that it could be policed. Press have been scathing about one punch attacks amongst drunks which have maimed and killed people, but when Baird passed the restrictions in Sydney’s Kings Cross, press campaigned against Baird. Similarly over Greyhounds Racing, press have campaigned against Baird, but not a word for victims of crime related to corruption within the industry. The industry had said it was ungovernable, then backflipped. Baird has been responsible, but not the jeering and cheering press. Nationals are suffering as a result. Do the papers really want a Shooters Party member? Ask your cameraman their views on gun ownership. Bring your licensed weapon. 

IPA Review (Nov 2016) features a Chris Berg article “Progress on the fight to repeal 18c.” Section 18c of the racial discrimination act is appallingly bad legislation that seems to have the sole purpose of limiting free speech. During the entire existence of the law, made in 1975 under Whitlam, the law has been used to prosecute Christian Preachers whom have spoken to their congregation on their views of Islam. It has also been used to prosecute Andrew Bolt for articles on Aboriginal identification (Note, I’ve been told I have Aboriginal ancestry, but do not identify as Aboriginal). The law has been misapplied to ruin the lives of some university students and also to prevent a cartoonist from making an important point. Malcolm Turnbull apparently made undertakings, with Julie Bishop, to repeal the legislation (or ‘fix’ it) if he was made Liberal leader, but reneged on it later. The law has not, apparently, defended Jews or Moslems from extremist rhetoric. The law needs to be blind to race, for it to not be racist.
=== from 2015 ===
There are lots of ways of building consensus, but Turnbull has ruled out the effective ones. Were Turnbull to stand for something, as the previous PM had, he would be a target for ridicule and denigration just as the previous PM was. One of Rudd's proudest achievements was to exploit Aboriginal peoples and reward them with an empty gesture. Turnbull is not in a position to do the same. Rudd says he has advised Mr Turnbull. Has Turnbull listened? By promising everything and standing for nothing, Turnbull is allowing the frightened critters of the independent bench of the senate to use him. And so they might allow some things to pass through, that they would never allow Mr Abbott. It is a frightening example for those who prefer merit to win arguments. 

For some, at the moment, the Sex Party has more credibility.
From 2014 
The path we fail on is often the path we took to avoid trouble. 
Russia has sent warships off the coastline of the G20 in Brisbane for much the same reason the US President has ridiculous amounts of hardware present. It reinforces domestic politics back home. Russia is not going to call for Russian separatists to fight Australia. There is a substantial tactical advantage to doing so in the Ukraine. The issue is big as 38 Australians died on MH17, an aircraft shot down, probably by Russian separatists after Ukraine forces legitimised it as a target. We now that Ukraine failed to warn the world of the war being fought and lied about the nature of the war to the world's press. There is another issue, Ukrainian independence from Russia and separatist behaviour has been influenced by Washington. There is no way that Russia was going to accept losing their own naval base or maintaining a hostile relationship with a near neighbour. Historically, Washington did not like it either, when Cuba was armed. Russia will take advantage of poor US policy, which is a good thing, because it forces the US to adopt strong policy. 

The 7:30 Report on the ABC started today with a scare item regarding Chinese internet espionage from a cute sounding panda group connected to the Chinese Peoples Liberation Army. The idea behind the scare is to attempt to make Monday's signing of the free trade agreement difficult, if not impossible. ABC have gloated a lot following their attempt to unhinge peace with Indonesia. Following the first item, Leigh Sales had an interview with Joe Hockey. During the interview Sales proudly stated that the budget was in a difficult shape because ALP had blocked significant items. Only Sales did not blame ALP, but independents whom Hockey defended, as he must. Partisan Sales attacked wherever she saw a jugular, which is not how she behaves with ALP or Greens. The ABC is out of control. 

Palmer Party is fracturing, but as it does so it is turning to the ALP stance of blocking legislation for no policy reason. The issue is meaningless to both the antagonists, regarding soldier's pay. Palmer has despised soldiers and Lambie sees herself as part of their crowd. Restoring the nation to fiscal health is the best thing a government can do to the soldiers who serve her. 

Shorten speaks on the understanding Obama reached with China regarding carbon dioxide issues. Obama has promised to make life difficult in the US now, as long as China will do so in fifteen years or so. GOP are not going to back it. Even so, Shorten is very up beat about it. If Shorten ever works out precisely what it is. 
From 2013
Some people are comfortable being lied to. They prefer it. When Hamidur Rahman died in '02 from peanut allergy, his parents were sad and wanted the truth to come out. Those responsible for his death had a vested interest in that not happening. The result was the coroner declared the death an accident after failing to ask basic questions. It was easier that way. Parents were told by the coroner they had not told the school of the allergy. I know the school had been informed, and worse, the instrument of Hamidur's death had been given to the boy on the explicit instruction of the boy's school boy's welfare officer. The Head Teacher Welfare (Boys), a position possibly unique to Hurlstone AHS which is also a coed boarding school, had known for over a year about the allergy. It is not unusual for the coroner to massage results for the public. Michael Hutchence's likely death through misadventure as a result of sexual dysfunction from long term drug use was ruled a suicide because it is easier on the fans who would rather remember Michael that way. 

Hamidur's head teacher with responsibility for welfare, boys, had instructed staff who had run out of rewards for kids to use items from the canteen, like peanut butter. The same officer was later told in 2001 that Hamidur had a serious peanut allergy. He instructed the person advising him of that fact not to discuss it publicly, on the promise staff would be informed. His boss, a deputy principal, said the same. In 2002, on camp, a teacher found he didn't have normal rewards for kids, and got peanut butter from the school in accordance with school direction. Hamidur had done an activity well, and so, as a reward, the teacher challenged him to lick peanut butter from a spoon. He died in seconds. 

If the Head Teacher or Deputy Principal had been asked about this at the time, they may have lied or told the truth. If they were asked today, they could say they have forgotten. Worth thinking about as Australia's parliament discusses a carbon tax. Already, the ALP has delayed the introduction of the bill repealing the carbon tax (a misnomer, it is a tax on Carbon Dioxide, a colourless, odourless gas that is normally present in the atmosphere and feeds plants). Australians have never voted to have one. They were explicitly promised one would not be introduced prior to the '10 election. When it was introduced, Australians voted for a party promising to repeal it. Liars have claimed that the recent storm to hit the Philipines was the worst in history. It wasn't. It was terrible, but not in the top 37 storms known. When next there is an election, if those who voted in support of the tax are asked, what will they say about why they supported it? Some people are comfortable being lied to.

Today's Old Testament reading: Jeremiah 51-52

1 This is what the LORD says:
“See, I will stir up the spirit of a destroyer
against Babylon and the people of Leb Kamai.
2 I will send foreigners to Babylon
to winnow her and to devastate her land;
they will oppose her on every side
in the day of her disaster.
3 Let not the archer string his bow,
nor let him put on his armor.
Do not spare her young men;
completely destroy her army.
4 They will fall down slain in Babylon,
fatally wounded in her streets.
5 For Israel and Judah have not been forsaken
by their God, the LORD Almighty,
though their land is full of guilt
before the Holy One of Israel.
6 “Flee from Babylon!
Run for your lives!
Do not be destroyed because of her sins.
It is time for the LORD’s vengeance;
he will repay her what she deserves.
7 Babylon was a gold cup in the LORD’s hand;
she made the whole earth drunk.
The nations drank her wine;
therefore they have now gone mad.
8 Babylon will suddenly fall and be broken.
Wail over her!
Get balm for her pain;
perhaps she can be healed....

Today's New Testament reading: Hebrews 9

Worship in the Earthly Tabernacle
1 Now the first covenant had regulations for worship and also an earthly sanctuary. 2 A tabernacle was set up. In its first room were the lampstand and the table with its consecrated bread; this was called the Holy Place. 3 Behind the second curtain was a room called the Most Holy Place, 4 which had the golden altar of incense and the gold-covered ark of the covenant. This ark contained the gold jar of manna, Aaron’s staff that had budded, and the stone tablets of the covenant. 5Above the ark were the cherubim of the Glory, overshadowing the atonement cover. But we cannot discuss these things in detail now.
6 When everything had been arranged like this, the priests entered regularly into the outer room to carry on their ministry. 7But only the high priest entered the inner room, and that only once a year, and never without blood, which he offered for himself and for the sins the people had committed in ignorance.8 The Holy Spirit was showing by this that the way into the Most Holy Place had not yet been disclosed as long as the first tabernacle was still functioning. 9 This is an illustration for the present time, indicating that the gifts and sacrifices being offered were not able to clear the conscience of the worshiper.10 They are only a matter of food and drink and various ceremonial washings—external regulations applying until the time of the new order....

Morning


"The trial of your faith."
1 Peter 1:7
Faith untried may be true faith, but it is sure to be little faith, and it is likely to remain dwarfish so long as it is without trials. Faith never prospers so well as when all things are against her: tempests are her trainers, and lightnings are her illuminators. When a calm reigns on the sea, spread the sails as you will, the ship moves not to its harbour; for on a slumbering ocean the keel sleeps too. Let the winds rush howling forth, and let the waters lift up themselves, then, though the vessel may rock, and her deck may be washed with waves, and her mast may creak under the pressure of the full and swelling sail, it is then that she makes headway towards her desired haven. No flowers wear so lovely a blue as those which grow at the foot of the frozen glacier; no stars gleam so brightly as those which glisten in the polar sky; no water tastes so sweet as that which springs amid the desert sand; and no faith is so precious as that which lives and triumphs in adversity. Tried faith brings experience. You could not have believed your own weakness had you not been compelled to pass through the rivers; and you would never have known God's strength had you not been supported amid the water-floods. Faith increases in solidity, assurance, and intensity, the more it is exercised with tribulation. Faith is precious, and its trial is precious too.
Let not this, however, discourage those who are young in faith. You will have trials enough without seeking them: the full portion will be measured out to you in due season. Meanwhile, if you cannot yet claim the result of long experience, thank God for what grace you have; praise him for that degree of holy confidence whereunto you have attained: walk according to that rule, and you shall yet have more and more of the blessing of God, till your faith shall remove mountains and conquer impossibilities.

Evening


"And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God."
Luke 6:12

If ever one of woman born might have lived without prayer, it was our spotless, perfect Lord, and yet none was ever so much in supplication as he! Such was his love to his Father, that he loved much to be in communion with him: such his love for his people, that he desired to be much in intercession for them. The fact of this eminent prayerfulness of Jesus is a lesson for us--he hath given us an example that we may follow in his steps. The time he chose was admirable, it was the hour of silence, when the crowd would not disturb him; the time of inaction, when all but himself had ceased to labour; and the season when slumber made men forget their woes, and cease their applications to him for relief. While others found rest in sleep, he refreshed himself with prayer. The place was also well selected. He was alone where none would intrude, where none could observe: thus was he free from Pharisaic ostentation and vulgar interruption. Those dark and silent hills were a fit oratory for the Son of God. Heaven and earth in midnight stillness heard the groans and sighs of the mysterious Being in whom both worlds were blended. The continuance of his pleadings is remarkable; the long watches were not too long; the cold wind did not chill his devotions; the grim darkness did not darken his faith, or loneliness check his importunity. We cannot watch with him one hour, but he watched for us whole nights. The occasion for this prayer is notable; it was after his enemies had been enraged--prayer was his refuge and solace; it was before he sent forth the twelve apostles--prayer was the gate of his enterprise, the herald of his new work. Should we not learn from Jesus to resort to special prayer when we are under peculiar trial, or contemplate fresh endeavours for the Master's glory? Lord Jesus, teach us to pray.

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)

Editorials will appear in the "History in a Year by the Conservative Voice" series, starting with August, September, October, or at Amazon http://www.amazon.com/dp/1482020262/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_dVHPub0MQKDZ4 The kindle version is cheaper, but the soft back version allows a free kindle version.
