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.

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 5
Every high priest is selected from among the people and is appointed to represent the people in matters related to God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins. He is able to deal gently with those who are ignorant and are going astray, since he himself is subject to weakness. This is why he has to offer sacrifices for his own sins, as well as for the sins of the people. And no one takes this honor on himself, but he receives it when called by God, just as Aaron was.
In the same way, Christ did not take on himself the glory of becoming a high priest. But God said to him,
“You are my Son;
today I have become your Father.”
And he says in another place,
“You are a priest forever,
in the order of Melchizedek.”
During the days of Jesus’ life on earth, he offered up prayers and petitions with fervent cries and tears to the one who could save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverent submission. Son though he was, he learned obedience from what he suffered and, once made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him and was designated by God to be high priest in the order of Melchizedek.
Warning Against Falling Away
We have much to say about this, but it is hard to make it clear to you because you no longer try to understand. In fact, though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the elementary truths of God’s word all over again. You need milk, not solid food! Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant, is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness. But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil.

Here is a video I made "On the Turning Away"
"On the Turning Away" is a song from Pink Floyd's 1987 album, A Momentary Lapse of Reason. Released as the second single from the album, it reached number one on the Billboard Album Rock Tracks chart in early 1988. In the United Kingdom, the song charted at number 55 on the UK Singles Chart. A live performance of the song was featured on both the video and double CD releases of Delicate Sound of Thunder. The song references issues of poverty and oppression, lamenting on the tendency of people to turn away from those afflicted with such conditions. It ends on a hopeful note, with the last stanza beginning, "no more turning away ...". It is also a song that recovers the mysticism of songs like "Wish You Were Here" or "Us and Them", but this time treating topics like the suffering of people; the phrase "weak and the weary" portrays the suffering of people as a big problem in today's world.

#FakeNews claim #FakeVotes elected the Biden crime family, and Xi to be President of the US. But the obvious reality is Trump has won the election, has a mandate to govern, and the left are desperate to steal the win. Trump had got significant support in California and NYC where he never campaigned. If #FakeVotes had been real, they would show that too.===

Don't give up on hope. I thank Scott McNeil for his dual live FB cast last night. Scott also has a FB page. It won't be the last, and I hope to use it with others abroad. It only works with iPhones atm. I'm overcoming tonsillitis. I had thought it a cold and treated it like that, but when I stopped the treatments it hit with a vengeance. Two weeks without work in telesales and I even cancelled an evening of classes as tutor. My landlord suggested (he is a friend) that if I die, I might choose to buy a couple of iPhone x's and leave it to him. After all, I'd never have to pay for it. But, I'm intending to live. No live casts until next Monday, when I should have my voice back. But my will will provide for him, his family, and my daughter. They aren't worth much now, but my published books are my estate. I have lost everything else.
My landlord is among many things, a Vietnamese Refugee. He and his family kindly allow me to stay at rent a pensioner can afford. It is a privilege for me to work with his young children on enrichment work for school. But I also get to hear about Vietnamese history. The terrible corruption that exists in Vietnam at the moment overshadows a rich and beautiful landscape. Vietnamese invented fish sauce, which is pretty much found in fish oil capsules sold by vitamin hucksters. The monsoonal weather, or poor mountain farming communities have bred a hardy people, such that three Chinese invasions, three Mongol invasions and numerous Cambodian invasions all failed over time. Because of the climate (hot and wet during monsoons) the people have developed food that is fresh and tasty. In modern times, Europeans, like the French have left their culinary mark too.
Things are happening around the world. A year since Trump was elected President by an overwhelming number of electoral colleges. Denialists like Hillary Clinton are trying to get Trump removed from office because of things done under Obama. Trump has been very effective as President, and the US has a plan that will repay her debt. That will change the world for the better. NJ and Virginia have predictably gone back to Democrat control after the conservative Virginian failed to back Trump. NJ had two terms of Christie. Conservatives need to stand for something if they are to be as effective as Trump. Remember when the establishment dissed Trump but the Tea Party with Sarah Palin's influence embraced him? Things are working fine.
Malcolm Turnbull and Julie Bishop each endorsed Hillary Clinton. It looks increasingly likely there is a constitutional crisis and an election may have to be called soon. Bizarrely, as soon as that happens, every single member under question will have disavowed dual citizenship and will be free to campaign in their seats. This highlights the absurdity of the High Court Ruling which places a greater emphasis on foreign governments than Australia's national one, and so an Aboriginal Australian (such as myself by reputed ethnicity, but not culture) might be barred from serving in parliament.

So many said that Trump being President was not possible, and something to be feared. They even said Hillary Clinton was a “Safe pair of hands.” Tonight in Australia, the safe pair of hands refused to let the people who supported her know that their fire works party was to be cancelled because she lost. USA have voted in a GOP administration with authority not seen since 1928, when Hoover had both houses of congress and a well run economy. Only Trump does not have a well run economy. A few measures will fix much. Ending AGW hysteria and promoting cheap energy will unleash USA manufacturing. Jobs can be given to her young, and growth which has not been seen since Reagan can be realised. Bad trade agreements can be fixed, or torn up. The US military can be made strong again. Deals can be done with Russia and China that make things better for all. And the terrible swamp of corruption can be drained.
Questions need to be asked as to why the press in Australia and US were so badly wrong about this landmark result. CNN had six heckling one in their pre election examination of situations. Outright lies were called analysis as it was said that Hispanics disliked Trump, Blacks feared Trump and women were disgusted by Trump. Yet many living voters who voted for Trump were black, women or hispanic. Voter corruption was apparent and yet there had been substantial opposition to prevent voter fraud. In Australia, Along with the PM, Foreign Minister, Opposition Leader, Greens Leader, Laurie Oakes, Neil Mitchell, Bob Carr, Kristina Keneally and many, many of the media were dead wrong in their analysis at basic levels. And they will not let people replace them who had been right. I was right. I predicted Trump would win in these circumstances months ago. I would like to thank others who advised me and helped me arrive at my conclusions which seem so prescient now. Eric Golub, J Fo, Andy Tran and also the apparently misguided Andrew Bolt, Tim Blair, Piers Akerman, IPA, and Miranda Devine who didn’t get it right, but who asked the right questions.
IPA Review features a Lorraine Finlay, Joshua Forrestor, and Augusto Zimmermann article “The Sound of Constitutional Silence” about the history of section 18c of the Racial Vilification Act of Australia 1975. The section is illiberal and incommensurate with a free society. However, it has existed for forty one years and has been largely unused. It has been applied poorly and those in authority have not demonstrated the level of judgement expected of them. Largely, the abusers have been cheered on by the illiberal members of the press and various left wing political parties. But there is a basis for saying that the actual legislation is unconstitutional, or at best, a terrible burden on Democracy. At times, partisan left wingers have realised the danger of the bad law. Members of the press have recognised the dangers posed to free society. But right now, while the leadership of the conservatives is so weak under Malcolm Turnbull, it is convenient for left wing leaders not to care about the damage being done to cultural assets.
=== from 2015 ===
Andrew Bolt is tearing shreds off Dr Ben Carson over some media beat ups. One was a sermon he gave at church 17 years ago. The other is a claim he made in his youth about a scholarship offer. Both can be reasonably explained. The realities of archaeology aren't usually presented in sermons. Not because the Bible is not relevant as the word of God, but the Bible is not an archaeological textbook. Dr Carson's sermon on Joseph is not even contradicted by archaeology, save in the assertion that Joseph built the pyramids to store grain. But even that could be talked around and made acceptable to the scientific community simply by saying that some large spaces were repurposed temporarily. But the truth acknowledged in the Bible itself is that the exact happenings of that time are not known, with scriptures lost for hundreds of years after King David's time. Another attack on Carson is to do with his supposed turning down a scholarship opportunity for West Point. It may not have been a formal offer at all, in which case there is no evidence. But so what? It is not the same as Clinton's not inhaling mojo. It is totally believable that Carson would have been an asset for West Point.

Trapped by Hubris
Celebrity enthusiasts for the ALP are out in force. Cate Blanchett has been delusional in her support for Whitlam. There is one thing Whitlam did which has lasted. He made Advance Australia Fair take the place of God Save the Queen as the national anthem. Lasting change which hasn't caused crippling debt but which was typically divisive and as subtle and devoid of intent as a spit in the eye. Noel Pearson also went to his happy place when speaking about Whitlam. The Whitlam Pearson spoke of would not be recognisable to his policy victims, were they to be able to have heard the speech. Whitlam's powerful influence in world politics resulted in the deaths of many Vietnamese, Cambodians, Timorise and Chinese. Whitlam's callous disregard of individuals in Australia is measured by the debt he saddled the nation in, optimistically viewing the children as a source of national income. Obama is helping the dismantling of the US Democrat party as a political force. Still, he can salvage a future if he changes his ways, and stops trying to divide America and destroy her institutions. He needs to let go of his vision .. it is what is weighing him down.
Greens have a new policy in Australia that should save the world. Pee in the shower. Reminder, Milne did say the alternatives were mining coal or choosing death. Most sensible people choose to allow industry to mine coal.
ABC seems disinterested in news of arrests on charges of an assassination attempt on the Queen. It took them time to report it and they played down the role of Islamo Fascists. David Marr on Insiders seemed vey keen to call it something else. Maybe he felt it was going to be another workplace accident, like that executed by US army psychologist Nidal Hassan.
MH17 Shirtfronting
Journalists joke about Abbott facing Putin over MH17. But it is a terribly sad joke. I like and admire Mr Abbott and appreciate what he is doing to achieve any solace for relatives and loved ones of those killed through an act of terror. I feel that Russia is culpable, but not solely, and it concerns me that questions are not being asked of another culpable party, the Ukraine, because of political allegiance.The hard questions Ukraine have not yet answered, and have not really been asked, is what role they played in having MH17 targeted? Why did they not warn Malaysia that there was a war zone? Were they playing a game with the Russian separatists which escalated? Why have they kept fighting and prevented investigation of the area?
Ukraine leadership has partly resigned following, obscuring their activity. But those questions need to be asked and publicly addressed for public confidence to be restored.
From 2013
I am begging the PM of Australia, Mr Tony Abbott or the Premier of NSW, Mr Barry O'Farrell to come visit my unit, or send a delegate, soon. I have a claim on the PM's office. Gillard promised to address my issues through channel 7's Sunrise in '07. When she was campaigning in '10, she was escorted by my opponent Jason Clare. Gillard turned to election cameras and spoke of the dignity of work. It could have been a coded message to me. Clare has failed to represent me in parliament, and did not even campaign in '10, by arrangement with local press. I was campaigning on a social justice issue the press declined to report. I have claim on the Premier of NSW's office. A former school friend of mine who worked for some of the most corrupt ALP ministers was part of the office of Premier in '05 when he bragged to me he had written the 2004 NSW Teacher's Code of Conduct which was misused as an instrument to abuse me in '06. The office of NSW Premier has never accounted for its corrupt activity regarding me, parachuting a public servant into a mid level management position to target me for abuse.
I am begging for the visit now, because I am losing things, extraordinary things, and there will never again be an opportunity to acknowledge the loss.
I have a copy of Gladman's "Control and Teaching." It has pencilled in the front the name JP Rogers, a Principal of Sydney Boys High for some decades in the early 20th century.

I am begging for the visit now, because I am losing things, extraordinary things, and there will never again be an opportunity to acknowledge the loss.

Today's reading: Jeremiah 43-45, Hebrews 5 (NIV)
View today's reading on Bible Gateway
Today's Old Testament reading: Jeremiah 43-45
1 When Jeremiah had finished telling the people all the words of the LORD their God—everything the LORD had sent him to tell them— 2 Azariah son of Hoshaiah and Johanan son of Kareah and all the arrogant men said to Jeremiah, “You are lying! The LORD our God has not sent you to say, ‘You must not go to Egypt to settle there.’ 3 But Baruch son of Neriah is inciting you against us to hand us over to the Babylonians, so they may kill us or carry us into exile to Babylon.”
4 So Johanan son of Kareah and all the army officers and all the people disobeyed the LORD’s command to stay in the land of Judah. 5 Instead, Johanan son of Kareah and all the army officers led away all the remnant of Judah who had come back to live in the land of Judah from all the nations where they had been scattered. 6 They also led away all those whom Nebuzaradan commander of the imperial guard had left with Gedaliah son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan—the men, the women, the children and the king’s daughters. And they took Jeremiah the prophet and Baruch son of Neriah along with them. 7 So they entered Egypt in disobedience to the LORD and went as far as Tahpanhes.
8 In Tahpanhes the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah: 9“While the Jews are watching, take some large stones with you and bury them in clay in the brick pavement at the entrance to Pharaoh’s palace in Tahpanhes. 10 Then say to them, ‘This is what the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, says: I will send for my servant Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and I will set his throne over these stones I have buried here; he will spread his royal canopy above them. 11 He will come and attack Egypt, bringing death to those destined for death, captivity to those destined for captivity, and the sword to those destined for the sword. 12 He will set fire to the temples of the gods of Egypt; he will burn their temples and take their gods captive. As a shepherd picks his garment clean of lice, so he will pick Egypt clean and depart. 13 There in the temple of the sun in Egypt he will demolish the sacred pillars and will burn down the temples of the gods of Egypt....’”
Today's New Testament reading: Hebrews 5
1 Every high priest is selected from among the people and is appointed to represent the people in matters related to God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins. 2 He is able to deal gently with those who are ignorant and are going astray, since he himself is subject to weakness. 3 This is why he has to offer sacrifices for his own sins, as well as for the sins of the people.4 And no one takes this honor on himself, but he receives it when called by God, just as Aaron was.
5 In the same way, Christ did not take on himself the glory of becoming a high priest. But God said to him,
“You are my Son;
today I have become your Father.”
today I have become your Father.”
6 And he says in another place,
“You are a priest forever,
in the order of Melchizedek....”

Morning
The life of faith is represented as receiving--an act which implies the very opposite of anything like merit. It is simply the acceptance of a gift. As the earth drinks in the rain, as the sea receives the streams, as night accepts light from the stars, so we, giving nothing, partake freely of the grace of God. The saints are not, by nature, wells, or streams, they are but cisterns into which the living water flows; they are empty vessels into which God pours his salvation. The idea of receiving implies a sense of realization, making the matter a reality. One cannot very well receive a shadow; we receive that which is substantial: so is it in the life of faith, Christ becomes real to us. While we are without faith, Jesus is a mere name to us--a person who lived a long while ago, so long ago that his life is only a history to us now! By an act of faith Jesus becomes a real person in the consciousness of our heart. But receiving also means grasping or getting possession of. The thing which I receive becomes my own: I appropriate to myself that which is given. When I receive Jesus, he becomes my Saviour, so mine that neither life nor death shall be able to rob me of him. All this is to receive Christ--to take him as God's free gift; to realize him in my heart, and to appropriate him as mine.
Salvation may be described as the blind receiving sight, the deaf receiving hearing, the dead receiving life; but we have not only received these blessings, we have received Christ Jesus himself. It is true that he gave us life from the dead. He gave us pardon of sin; he gave us imputed righteousness. These are all precious things, but we are not content with them; we have received Christ himself. The Son of God has been poured into us, and we have received him, and appropriated him. What a heartful Jesus must be, for heaven itself cannot contain him!
Evening
"The Master saith, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples?"
Mark 14:14
Mark 14:14
Jerusalem at the time of the passover was one great inn; each householder had invited his own friends, but no one had invited the Saviour, and he had no dwelling of his own. It was by his own supernatural power that he found himself an upper room in which to keep the feast. It is so even to this day--Jesus is not received among the sons of men save only where by his supernatural power and grace he makes the heart anew. All doors are open enough to the prince of darkness, but Jesus must clear a way for himself or lodge in the streets. It was through the mysterious power exerted by our Lord that the householder raised no question, but at once cheerfully and joyfully opened his guestchamber. Who he was, and what he was, we do not know, but he readily accepted the honour which the Redeemer proposed to confer upon him. In like manner it is still discovered who are the Lord's chosen, and who are not; for when the gospel comes to some, they fight against it, and will not have it, but where men receive it, welcoming it, this is a sure indication that there is a secret work going on in the soul, and that God has chosen them unto eternal life. Are you willing, dear reader, to receive Christ? then there is no difficulty in the way; Christ will be your guest; his own power is working with you, making you willing. What an honour to entertain the Son of God! The heaven of heavens cannot contain him, and yet he condescends to find a house within our hearts! We are not worthy that he should come under our roof, but what an unutterable privilege when he condescends to enter! for then he makes a feast, and causes us to feast with him upon royal dainties, we sit at a banquet where the viands are immortal, and give immortality to those who feed thereon. Blessed among the sons of Adam is he who entertains the angels' Lord.

=== Message ===
===
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)
