Mon 27th December 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
Police woman Kim Potter had a work place accident for which she has been convicted of two charges that may see her jailed for up to 25 years. She had been doing her job when a convicted felon had gone berserk and was threatening the lives of her work colleagues. She yelled "Taser, taser,taser." And then reached for her gun, which resembled the taser and waited a few beats and fired. The dangerous felon died soon after. Footage of the incident reveals Kim crying as she realises she is going to jail for her mistake.

At trial it was revealed that Potter was within her remit to have simply fired her gun at the felon. However, despite her clean record as an officer and no evidence of malice, a presumably biased jury convicted her. Meanwhile press are working overtime to manufacture a public image of her guilt. 

Social media is coming under greater scrutiny following a strategic admission in court that fact checking sites they rely on for editorial control of their content do not check facts but proffer opinion. Opinion which social media then use to censor those they disagree with. The legal protections that social media rely on to not get sued rely on them behaving like town squares, where free speech rules, not like publishing houses where their content is filtered. So why is President Trump deemed unworthy of Twitter, because of community standards, while terrorist organisations are accepted? 

Professionally, I’m a math teacher. But I’m here today because I love God, wish to serve God and God is moving in my life. I’m rich, but I don’t have monetary wealth. I’m not here for myself, but I hope that I can show you who God is in my life, and who He may be in your life. I’m going to ask you to read the letters from John, in the Bible. Not right now, but later. Maybe you will read them prayerfully on your own. Maybe you will read them and share them in fellowship. As you do so, I want you to remember an often misunderstood statement: “God is love.”

God is love.

I was raised as an atheist by parents who trained me to distrust God and spit in His eye. People could tell me about God and I could tell them why they were stupid. God cannot build a bridge He could not cross. That is a language creation designed to exploit ultimates. An infinitely strong deity who can create all things, must be able to create anything. Including a bridge that cannot be crossed. And be able to cross that bridge, meaning they could not build that bridge. Such a God could not possibly exist.

God is love.

God is love is an expression used by God’s enemies to discredit God. The puritan Cromwell, leading his Ironsides as Lord Protector of England over 400 years ago had a siege cannon at Ireland’s town of Drogheda with those words on the cannon’s lips. The cannon broke the defences and Cromwell ordered no quarter given to the inhabitants.

God is love.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer was a Christian who stood up to Hitler’s Nazis and policy. He wasn’t violent. He spoke persuasively. He was faithful to God and so Hitler ordered him killed. Dietrich could have recanted publicly, and kept his views private, like others did. But Dietrich stood on conscience.

God is love.

God is love. I cannot tell you precisely what those words mean to you. I can share a bit of what they mean to me. I was weak after I first became a Christian. I was angry. I achieved much with hubris. And I found enemies, because I looked for enemies, not for friends. In anger, I made enemies at work, and at home. But there are things I wanted in my life I could not get from enemies. I had not understood God is Love.

God is love.

There are things I wanted in my life and they never happened. I could point the finger at others, but it was because I was so angry. I wanted family. I wanted a career. I wanted to build things and to be able to look back with satisfaction at my personal achievements, or those of my family. And every opportunity passed.

God is love.

God is love. He gave me things I wanted. But, not in a traditional order. After I lost my career, I was using social media and happened on a foreign girl wanting help with English. I worked with her online, encouraging her to come to Australia and go to university here. She needed a little help, and someone to share her journey. And for a time, I could call Tammy ‘my daughter.’ And now she has a degree, a good man as a husband and she has started her family. God is love.

God is love.

I had wanted to raise children, to be there when they were vulnerable, and point the way to God. I was living in a share house and an Ice addict went berserk and wanted to kill me. A stranger I met on social media invited me to rent a room in his home. I spent some five years with his young family. I did not have skills I needed to work with young kids. But they taught me. And now I dream of the day I can share stories with them when they are adults.

God is love.

After reading the bible, I read it again. Then I read it aloud and shared the video on Youtube. Then Rumble after Youtube shadow banned me. Then I found 365 common bible quotes and wrote about the background and history to them. I wanted to find out about God.

God is love.

Nothing works in the world. People mean well but can't do their jobs. Everything becomes too hard, overwhelming. When we are lucky, we have ordinary tragedies, like losing our parents. And our pets. But, every year, things get better. More are lifted out of poverty. We network better. How can that be? How can things get better while everything falls apart and gets worse? I believe it is because of God's grace and love. Although I failed at my task, I'm forgiven and can persevere again. Although my day ended in tragedy, He gave us a new sunrise. God is love.

God is love.

I was driven to understand who God is after a dream I had had as an atheist child. It was one of those dreams where you feel you can fly or float. And I felt beset by evil. But, I entered a sanctuary, stone cave. I found a throne room and behind the throne room I sensed loved ones from my family I had never known, and a sister who had passed a year earlier. I begged God, whom I realised had authority, to stay. And he said I had not yet known him, but he would send me back for when I would know Him. God is love

God is love.

My sister, Pam, had died of natural causes, but as a younger girl I’d hurt her terribly. Dinner was being cooked in the kitchen. Pam was allowed to stand on a stool and stir some potato we were boiling. I had wanted to help too, but I felt she would never let me. I grabbed the stool from beneath her, and she fell, spilling the scalding water over herself, including her foot. Doctors needed to cut away her shoe and sock and Pam had permanent scars from that tragedy I caused. What had I done to Pam? Years passed, but she got sicker from kidney disease. She was twelve years old when she was offered a transplant in 1977. In 1978, her body rejected the transplant and she knew she was dying. She asked my mother for permission, and wondered what would become of her. Mother told her she believed she would be reincarnated in a better body, that she deserved. I remember thinking that my mother did not believe that. Pam died in the evening of Valentines Day 1978, age 13 at New York’s Albert Einstein Hospital. A year later, in a dream, I felt her in heaven with God. God is love.

God is love.

God gave us life. During that time, we can choose Him. We can choose life. But our life is our time to choose. When we die, our choice is fixed. There is a bridge God cannot cross. Yet God gave us his son, Jesus. Jesus has crossed that bridge God would not. Now we live in a time where we are God’s chosen, thanks to Jesus. Our task is no longer to lead blameless lives for His salvation, but to accept Jesus into our lives and through our embrace of Jesus, our choices become possible to obtain salvation, which is eternal life with God. Not that God welcomes our sin (a bridge he will not cross), but God will accept that which Jesus allows through his sacrifice on the cross.

God is love

I do not know what that means to you. But, I exhort you to read those three letters from John. And remember, God is love.

=== From 2020 ===

We have a good idea as to the path Trump is walking to retain the white house. It is not martial law. It does not involve SCOTUS. Trump is keen not to hurt the union or the constitution. Trump is on his knees, losing unnecessary fights which continue to show that Deep State have had control of the union for a long time and many of the levers of power are not functioning. It is necessary Trump fight these battles, but not necessary he win them. It is not certain Trump will win. But, the cabal have been losing badly with each 'win' they get. The SCOTUS decision of the Texas lawsuit is a case in point. The election was stolen. The evidence is clear. SCOTUS does not need the evidence, the people have it. Even as Big tech and media deny it, the people have seen it and made a decision regarding it. Trump wanted a stimulus for COVID and Democrats delayed it and forced it into a pork barrel. It does not matter if Trump refuses to sign it. The people have seen the Democrats delaying the bill for political advantage as people suffered. The people have also seen that the pork barrels are not meant for them. 

American people are not impressed that Democrats are trying to steal the Georgia senate run offs. They are not impressed with the Democrat candidates. They are not impressed with polling that shows a narrative mainstream media peddle, but which does not reflect reality. People are not impressed with the intimidation of Kemp. People are expecting Kraken will expose attempted fraud in the run off. The mail in fraud is not going to impress the people. The fraudulent votes for Biden will not transfer to support for him if he wins. 

We know Trump is the most popularly re elected President ever. We know Trump is gaining support among minorities as well as regular aspirational voters. What we don't yet know is when Biden and the cabal will face justice for what they have done. But we know Trump is temporising so as to not embarrass SCOTUS. So, the steps are, Trump will secure a win via state legislatures. Then SCOTUS will be brought in to deal with the fraudsters. In all likelihood, Trump does not want another special council in the wings of his 2021 inauguration.

COVID 19 has been inflated by hysterics for the primary purpose of controlling the US elections in 2020. It allowed states to declare states of emergency and suspend normal rules while a cabal engaged in voter fraud. Trump has produced a few vaccines but the cabal need COVID to remain so they can prevent a free and fair election in Georgia for the senate positions. However, in order to achieve what the cabal has, things have had to be sacrificed, including reputations and people's lives. Not all of which are in USA. 

COVID is not worse than a bad flu. The IPA (Institute of Public Affairs in Australia) have researched the death rate at 800 per million, or 0.08%. A bad flu might be 0.1%. However, hysterics have reported death rates as 20% or more. COVID is particularly deadly to the sick and elderly, unlike SARS which afflicted the young and sick. However, elderly people under COVID-19 have longer life expectancies than before. And, older, sick people have always died in large numbers. It is easy to inflate numbers of natural attrition for elderly. A healthy person wearing a mask has no real defence from COVID, and cannot transmit it. Children are not particularly susceptible to COVID. Yet children have been prevented from going to school, and businesses have been closed and treatments have been denied the sick so COVID hysteria can allow rules to be suspended during elections. 

Some people have been very sick from COVID and died. That happens with the flu too, every year. However, there have been treatments for COVID denied the sick by bureaucrats. At first, the treatments were declared as counter to research. But such research was debunked when it was observed it had not been rigorous but set to fail. It is hard to know the exact number who have died from such neglect, but as of June 2020, statistics showed deaths from COVID were some 8 times more likely in Democrat run states. While it is possible that COVID is more virulent against those with left wing values, whose personal hygiene is suspect, the more likely explanation is that bad management is the cause. Herd immunity is still the only long term solution, possibly achieved through vaccine, but in the mean times, treatment is available and cheap. 

In Victoria, in Australia, following the first wave, elimination had temporarily been achieved. However it had been bungled by Victorian Premier Dan Andrews and extraordinary measures were brought to bear, ruling out treatment. Some one hundred people died as a direct result, but the Victorian Premier was able to declare a state of emergency and a state of disaster and introduce a Chinese style curfew on movement. Such virtue signalling was necessary for the pre election pre text in the United states. Australians dying so US peoples could be bound in chains. Similar tragedy ensued in Europe and elsewhere. Notably, poor nations with access to cheap treatments were largely unaffected by the crisis. 

Will there ever be justice for those who paid high prices for COVID hysteria so a cabal could rig an election? 

https://rumble.com/vc43o7-editorial-wed-23rd-december-2020.html

A former and a current CIA chief used their offices to create a fake news attack on then candidate Donald Trump. They did not use, apparently, CIA resources, but private ones which they then had given to FBI and state department as bona fide CIA intelligence. Two former FBI chiefs then colluded to create fake investigations to persecute the candidate, and later, President Trump. The actual application of the CIA to USA operations is illegal. Those chiefs and a few underlings, sponsored by a cabal of Democrats and big tech, have orchestrated crisis after crisis in the United States, and world. And DOJ chief Barr sees nothing wrong? 

It is apparent the spying on Trump prior to 2016 election, and the subsequent attempt to remove him from office was baseless and corrupt. Yet is has become very hard to say so, with FB, Twitter and Google acting to restrict substantive evidence. Mainstream media print lies, but don't retract when corrected. Why did Fox news give North Carolina early, in error, to HRC in 2016? Why in 2020 did Fox news also give North Carolina early? How did pollsters measure fraudulent votes before they were cast? Why were pollsters so wrong about Trump popularity? 

We know that FBI began investigating Trump before the 2016 election. We know it was based on a lie that had not been started by bona fide security channels but was initiated from HRC campaign and shepherded by senior CIA and FBI executives. What does Barr know that allows him to claim what he does? 

https://rumble.com/vc3fg9-tue-22nd-december-2020-current-affairs.html

Trump is fighting to get re elected after he was voted back in. Nothing is certain. I am confident he will walk down one of the roads which sees him inaugurated again on 20th January 2021. I am also certain there are very bad people fighting for their lives as criminals to deny him. The rumour surrounding Governor Kemp does not have to be true. The possibility that Kemp's daughter's significant other was murdered to threaten Kemp illustrates the stakes. If voter fraud is real, and has been detailed, imagine the breadth of the corruption involved in independently and multiply, conning voter authorities. It was not merely using COVID hysteria to change laws to allow voter fraud. It was not merely using trucks to carry fake ballots across state lines. It was not merely opening voting machines to hostile governments. It was not merely foreign governments compromising legislature in significant committees. It is not merely covering up for the corrupt activities. It is not merely tasking tech giants to sideline debate. It is all of that, and more. In order to maintain the lie, what keeps the corrupt pollsters in Georgia in line, and waiting for more? What keeps corrupt judges from respecting the law and the constitution? If the Media editors are corrupt, are the journalists corrupt too? All of them? When was it that not one capable, honest journalist worked at CNN? When was it that entire support structures of Facebook and Google would countenance the deception they perpetrate? 

I can tell you I have no evidence that suggests there is an honest journalist at CNN. NYT, WaPo, LA Times etc etc. I have no evidence that suggests FB or Google are not part of a cabal. My interactions suggest gross incompetence among judges, police and authorities. I see a depraved indifference to the welfare of ordinary citizens as educational authorities persecute children who don't toe their lines, or repeat lies of convenience. 

Allow me to throw some truth bombs illustrating the issues. COVID-19 is not as bad as a bad 'flu in terms of mortality, and the worst affected, elderly people, are living longer now than they were a year ago. Masks do not help healthy people fight COVID. AGW is a lie, and the world's temperatures have been rising since the end of the ice age, but seem more stable at the moment. Carbon Dioxide is plant food, a trace particle in our atmosphere and necessary for life on Earth. Fracking provides cheap, effective gas. Solar power is inefficient. Wind power is poorly implemented, killing birds. Nuclear power is safe, and something Iran should never have. It is ok to pray in school, or in church, or in public. It is ok to swear on a bible, or talk to God. It is not racist to ignore race. It is racist to promote race. Publicly funded wildlife protection is a failure, but farming is incredibly successful. No farm animal is an endangered species. Kneeling in support of racism is not healthy. Standing for God and country can be motivating. Donald Trump got over 74 million votes from people we knew existed, and saw at rallies. Biden's votes did not seem to come from any known source, and he is not as popular as Obama was. Obama belongs in jail for the Russia Hoax and his work to undermine the 2020 election too. Obama started a new cld war because he was deficient in foreign policy. Trump has miraculously achieved what Obama could not, in Israel, NK, Iran, Syria and the United States.

There are two side stories to election fraud that I'm surprised no one is talking about. Biden in 2020 and Kevin Rudd in 2007. Both situations had had tremendous voter suppression played by mainstream media. Biden was too weak relative to Trump, and so the fraud was obvious because too much ground had to be made up. Kevin Rudd was aided by Malcolm Turnbull's betrayal of the Liberal Party of Australia, resulting from the failure of Peter Costello to campaign for the leadership from Mr Howard. But the media are ignoring corruption efforts by Biden and Rudd which they ought to question. 

With Joe Biden, he was VP and had special interests in Ukraine on 17th July 2014 when MH17 was shot down by Russian separatist forces. As the separatists reported the accident to Moscow, US signals intelligence picked up the chatter. The question has never been asked publicly, why was a civilian aircraft targeted? And, why was US signals intelligence so quick in intercepting that particular signal? The answer lies with Ukraine's problem with Russian separatists shooting down their military aircraft, killing many troops. Someone decided that Ukraine could paint their military aircraft with radio civilian identifiers. This trained the separatists to ignore civilian identifiers, and so tragedy resulted. Only the tragedy was not unexpected by Ukraine, who failed to warn Malaysia that Ukraine was a war zone. US signals intelligence were prepared to capitalise on the tragedy. Is the media protecting Biden and Ukraine from war crimes inquiry? 

In '07, Kevin Rudd bragged he had special contacts within Australian defence forces which would address problems he claimed Mr Howard had failed. One issue Rudd identified was Timor's rebel leader, Alfredo Reinado. Reinado had had some training in Australia and Rudd was convinced he could stop him where Howard had not. Soon, after Rudd became PM, on 11th February 2008, Reinado attempted to detain the Timorise leadership of Ramos-Horta and Gusmao, and was killed. It was soon called an assassination attempt. It looked like a bungled black ops which resulted in poisoning what had once been a good relationship between Australia and Timor. Had Kevin Rudd bungled the issue with a rushed black ops mission? My name is David Daniel Ball, and I'm here to help.

Who will be left for Democrats after Obama, Biden, HRC, Schiff, Warren and Pelosi are prosecuted for their Russia Collusion Hoax? What will be left of the FBI and DOJ after Mueller, Comey et al are prosecuted for their collusion? Dan Bongino discusses the explosive exposure of how Russia has had HRC emails from her illegal server in which HRC tried to deflect from her exposure by blaming President Trump. What of the powerful tech business allies of HRC who colluded to get Biden elected President? How will FB, Google, youtube and Twitter be affected? Will their CEO's escape jail time? What of CNN? NBCNews?, CBSNews? FoxNews? 

I'm waiting for delayed gratification. T45 may well be the greatest President USA has had, based on analysis of achievements to date. He fixed a broken economy. He achieved peace by not going to war. He commandeered initiative in science and tech. He worked for all constituents, not the corrupt few which his opponents focused on. 

Opposition to T45 has been substantially larger than for any previous President. The Russia Hoax dominated (swamped) his Presidency. Treasonous activity by tech giants and social elite have persecuted T45. Partly, that was at T45's behest because he was an outsider to Washington. Trump has walked a path others have not because opposition to outsiders is fierce. Including from within his own party, with RINO members part of the swamp. 

Trump won re-election in terms of votes cast in record numbers. The swamp is trying to steal it from him. The swamp are abusing legal avenues to prevent analysis of their illegal activity. What will happen when it is decided that has not worked? How many people will the swamp kill to protect their 'interests'? In order to protect the union, SCOTUS has not acted prematurely. It is up to state legislatures to do the right thing. How will RINO affect the outcome of those state legislature? Will RINO break the union to support the swamp?

Don't give up on hope. A young Vietnamese student who works and studies in Australia was working today and so I bought her a Banh Mi thịt nướng. First I went to a Vietnamese shop which served halal and asked for some. They pretended they had never heard of it. But a customer directed me to a new bakery that made some on the top level of Dandenong Plaza. When I watched them make it, I almost kept it for myself. I like, I need, to give. I got some writing done the last few days, and almost finished catching up on the Doctor Blake Mysteries and Dr Who Christmas special. It has been cool, but tonight begins a heatwave that I'm dreading. My sheets are soaked with perspiration, but I got time to wash them too. 

The Advanced Dungeon and Dragons (2nd edition modified) storyline is advancing. I call it the Lords of Kree and it is set in a magical city of Pamplona, which is nothing like the Spanish city. Nothing anyone knows about geography applies in the land which is supported by a Turtle God and has four corners which travellers can fall off. In the New World, the Lords of Kree have subdued Cree 'indians.' One promising young Cree warrior died, and the Lords resurrected him, tested him and sent him back to Pamplona to find and protect the "Most beautiful thing in the world." They are being secretive because although they have high levels of skill and magic, they are under siege from powerful telepaths in another universe which is 'parallel.' The Telepaths seek the beautiful artefact crystal goddess Sharra. Meanwhile, a Lawful Evil Magic User, who is also one of the Lords of Kree,  has Sharra and is using it by storing it where it 'uses' people for its' own ends.  

Recently I have made predictions based on logic, but which have not come true. I thought Malcolm Turnbull was incompetent and would be rolled. Turns out the Liberals are waiting to bust before releasing him. I also reported Trump would ditch the terrorists of so called Palestine. That has not yet happened either. Let us see what happens in the new year. 

=== from 2016 ===
The December IPA Review is out and Jason Potts writes how new technology might be the “Big Cure” for Australia’s health system. There are very strong historical reasons for why our health system is the way it is. Privacy, research, and exploitation of results makes a minefield which prevents change for the better. But modern technology with smart phones, apps, blockchain processing and AI presents an opportunity whereby research can be done, peoples rights can be respected and decisions can be made which benefit people in a truly flexible health system. All that is needed for the paradigm shift is to make ownership of health data something belonging to individuals, as opposed to the government. Creating a lot of data is not hard with a smartphone. Keeping the data secure is not hard with a block chain. Mining data for individualised results is not hard for an AI.

Currently, that is not possible, even though the technology exists, because health data belongs to governments. Research is often not possible because of the impediments governments place on data. Data protection restricts research. Healthcare and Human Services cost $315 billion annually and make up 60% of the budget. Imagine if it were cheaper and better?

It seems like celebrities are dying and fewer are being born. That is a perception thing. George Michael is the latest who won’t attend a Trump inauguration. He was a greatly talented singer who took drugs. Some say he took too much drugs and it ruined his career and took his life. Others say to just cool it. Or legalise it or something. It is getting time, as JN noted, for people to wonder at the cost of Sydney’s fireworks for New Year celebrations. For the same price, we could plunge South Australia in darkness for many hours. At night. Or, keep a celebrity in a jet aircraft flying to venues to warn of Anthropogenic Global Warming. Yeah, that last idea fizzles too.

=== from 2015 ===
 Boxing Day is not a result of a stoush between Kangaroo and Emu. That is a myth. Waleed Aly has not argued with Andrew Bolt, but has attacked Mr Bolt. Had Aly argued with Mr Bolt he would have found that Mr Bolt's concerns regarding Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW) alarmism is correct. AGW is another myth. The world has been heating since the ice age. Carbon dioxide is not a culprit of AGW, but plant food. Hysterical attempts to limit plant food will do nothing for world temperature. The substantial increase in recent years of plant food has not heated the world, but has corresponded with a decrease of temperature relative to 1998. Moving forward, we need cheap energy and we need plant food. But Mr Aly lies and abuses Mr Bolt to the cheers of a well paid lobby. 

For some, at the moment, the Sex Party has more credibility.
From 2014
A somber Christmas after Australians had a tough year thanks to others:
  • As shoppers faced the tough task of seeking Boxing Day bargains, Sulayman Khalid, from Regents Park in Sydney’s West, was facing Parramatta Local Court after being charged by counter-terrorism police with possessing documents and material designed to facilitate a terrorist attack. SBS brought him to national attention when they tried to get him to air his 'opinion.' Apparently he won an ISIL flag on the show. 
  • Amnesty International documented a number of cases of jihadi capturing non Muslim girls (some as young as 10) and forcing them into sexual slavery or even suicide bombing. IS have stoned to death for adultery at least 8 women in Mosul, and ten women were killed for speaking out against the group
  • A German journalist has been warned that ISIL intends to conquer Europe. 
  • Former Australian PM Malcolm Fraser slammed police for anti terrorism raids following the Sydney Siege. 
  • Yasir Arafat plays for Scorchers. He has the name of a Palestinian terrorist. He should not be playing where families of holocaust victims must endure. 
  • 'No threat to the dead' according to the judge who bailed a terrorist who committed the Sydney Siege. He was wrong in that judgement. 
Not all stimulus is bad .. Japan is being sensible. Their stimulus is aimed differently to the Australian one, and aims to promote their industry to spark growth.

Alan Turing, convicted of gross indecency in 1952, has been granted a posthumous royal pardon. His crime was in reporting a break in to his residence to police, it was discovered he had a homosexual relationship with another mature man. And rather than be sent to prison, he accepted chemical castration. He took cyanide in 1954. Turing was a genius who had contributed to the world's defence against Nazism as a code breaker. He is considered the father of modern computer science and artificial intelligence. When circumstances are not just, it is nice to believe that the royals can intercede. But this just seems too late. 

On the issue of injustice and forgiveness, the US has imprisoned Jonathan Pollard. Israel's PM Netanyahu has stood up for him, calling for his release, but because of the politics of the situation, Pollard remains in jail. His crime was one of US government mismanagement, he was a known security risk and, through lack of appropriate supervision, became an Israeli spy. It is apparent that the claims are not of the order of Assange or Snowden. Pollard has served more time than any one else convicted in the US of a similar crime. He is an Israeli citizen. Maybe Obama could release him, as a gesture favouring peace?

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

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

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

Intro to Locals.com

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

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

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

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

From the Bible, Revelation 17

Babylon, the Prostitute on the Beast

One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the punishment of the great prostitute, who sits by many waters. With her the kings of the earth committed adultery, and the inhabitants of the earth were intoxicated with the wine of her adulteries.”

Then the angel carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness. There I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was covered with blasphemous names and had seven heads and ten horns. The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, and was glittering with gold, precious stones and pearls. She held a golden cup in her hand, filled with abominable things and the filth of her adulteries. The name written on her forehead was a mystery:

babylon the great

the mother of prostitutes

and of the abominations of the earth.

I saw that the woman was drunk with the blood of God’s holy people, the blood of those who bore testimony to Jesus.

When I saw her, I was greatly astonished. Then the angel said to me: “Why are you astonished? I will explain to you the mystery of the woman and of the beast she rides, which has the seven heads and ten horns. The beast, which you saw, once was, now is not, and yet will come up out of the Abyss and go to its destruction. The inhabitants of the earth whose names have not been written in the book of life from the creation of the world will be astonished when they see the beast, because it once was, now is not, and yet will come.

“This calls for a mind with wisdom. The seven heads are seven hills on which the woman sits. They are also seven kings. Five have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come; but when he does come, he must remain for only a little while. The beast who once was, and now is not, is an eighth king. He belongs to the seven and is going to his destruction.

“The ten horns you saw are ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but who for one hour will receive authority as kings along with the beast. They have one purpose and will give their power and authority to the beast. They will wage war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will triumph over them because he is Lord of lords and King of kings—and with him will be his called, chosen and faithful followers.”

Then the angel said to me, “The waters you saw, where the prostitute sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations and languages. The beast and the ten horns you saw will hate the prostitute. They will bring her to ruin and leave her naked; they will eat her flesh and burn her with fire. For God has put it into their hearts to accomplish his purpose by agreeing to hand over to the beast their royal authority, until God’s words are fulfilled. The woman you saw is the great city that rules over the kings of the earth.”

Academic misidentifies why Dems pursue tyrannical rule While this is academic and all very well, it lacks the relevance needed to explain why Democrat supporters endorse undemocratic policy. In fact the party is now embracing what it once despised with rhetoric. Is that because this thoughtful essay seeks to excuse the issue by misidentifying it?

Here is a video I made "Spinning Wheel"
"Spinning Wheel" is the title of a popular song from 1969 (see 1969 in music) by the band Blood, Sweat & Tears. The song was written by band member and vocalist David Clayton-Thomas and appears on their self-titled album.

=== From 2020 ===

We have a good idea as to the path Trump is walking to retain the white house. It is not martial law. It does not involve SCOTUS. Trump is keen not to hurt the union or the constitution. Trump is on his knees, losing unnecessary fights which continue to show that Deep State have had control of the union for a long time and many of the levers of power are not functioning. It is necessary Trump fight these battles, but not necessary he win them. It is not certain Trump will win. But, the cabal have been losing badly with each 'win' they get. The SCOTUS decision of the Texas lawsuit is a case in point. The election was stolen. The evidence is clear. SCOTUS does not need the evidence, the people have it. Even as Big tech and media deny it, the people have seen it and made a decision regarding it. Trump wanted a stimulus for COVID and Democrats delayed it and forced it into a pork barrel. It does not matter if Trump refuses to sign it. The people have seen the Democrats delaying the bill for political advantage as people suffered. The people have also seen that the pork barrels are not meant for them. 

American people are not impressed that Democrats are trying to steal the Georgia senate run offs. They are not impressed with the Democrat candidates. They are not impressed with polling that shows a narrative mainstream media peddle, but which does not reflect reality. People are not impressed with the intimidation of Kemp. People are expecting Kraken will expose attempted fraud in the run off. The mail in fraud is not going to impress the people. The fraudulent votes for Biden will not transfer to support for him if he wins. 

We know Trump is the most popularly re elected President ever. We know Trump is gaining support among minorities as well as regular aspirational voters. What we don't yet know is when Biden and the cabal will face justice for what they have done. But we know Trump is temporising so as to not embarrass SCOTUS. So, the steps are, Trump will secure a win via state legislatures. Then SCOTUS will be brought in to deal with the fraudsters. In all likelihood, Trump does not want another special council in the wings of his 2021 inauguration.

COVID 19 has been inflated by hysterics for the primary purpose of controlling the US elections in 2020. It allowed states to declare states of emergency and suspend normal rules while a cabal engaged in voter fraud. Trump has produced a few vaccines but the cabal need COVID to remain so they can prevent a free and fair election in Georgia for the senate positions. However, in order to achieve what the cabal has, things have had to be sacrificed, including reputations and people's lives. Not all of which are in USA. 

COVID is not worse than a bad flu. The IPA (Institute of Public Affairs in Australia) have researched the death rate at 800 per million, or 0.08%. A bad flu might be 0.1%. However, hysterics have reported death rates as 20% or more. COVID is particularly deadly to the sick and elderly, unlike SARS which afflicted the young and sick. However, elderly people under COVID-19 have longer life expectancies than before. And, older, sick people have always died in large numbers. It is easy to inflate numbers of natural attrition for elderly. A healthy person wearing a mask has no real defence from COVID, and cannot transmit it. Children are not particularly susceptible to COVID. Yet children have been prevented from going to school, and businesses have been closed and treatments have been denied the sick so COVID hysteria can allow rules to be suspended during elections. 

Some people have been very sick from COVID and died. That happens with the flu too, every year. However, there have been treatments for COVID denied the sick by bureaucrats. At first, the treatments were declared as counter to research. But such research was debunked when it was observed it had not been rigorous but set to fail. It is hard to know the exact number who have died from such neglect, but as of June 2020, statistics showed deaths from COVID were some 8 times more likely in Democrat run states. While it is possible that COVID is more virulent against those with left wing values, whose personal hygiene is suspect, the more likely explanation is that bad management is the cause. Herd immunity is still the only long term solution, possibly achieved through vaccine, but in the mean times, treatment is available and cheap. 

In Victoria, in Australia, following the first wave, elimination had temporarily been achieved. However it had been bungled by Victorian Premier Dan Andrews and extraordinary measures were brought to bear, ruling out treatment. Some one hundred people died as a direct result, but the Victorian Premier was able to declare a state of emergency and a state of disaster and introduce a Chinese style curfew on movement. Such virtue signalling was necessary for the pre election pre text in the United states. Australians dying so US peoples could be bound in chains. Similar tragedy ensued in Europe and elsewhere. Notably, poor nations with access to cheap treatments were largely unaffected by the crisis. 

Will there ever be justice for those who paid high prices for COVID hysteria so a cabal could rig an election? 

https://rumble.com/vc43o7-editorial-wed-23rd-december-2020.html

A former and a current CIA chief used their offices to create a fake news attack on then candidate Donald Trump. They did not use, apparently, CIA resources, but private ones which they then had given to FBI and state department as bona fide CIA intelligence. Two former FBI chiefs then colluded to create fake investigations to persecute the candidate, and later, President Trump. The actual application of the CIA to USA operations is illegal. Those chiefs and a few underlings, sponsored by a cabal of Democrats and big tech, have orchestrated crisis after crisis in the United States, and world. And DOJ chief Barr sees nothing wrong? 

It is apparent the spying on Trump prior to 2016 election, and the subsequent attempt to remove him from office was baseless and corrupt. Yet is has become very hard to say so, with FB, Twitter and Google acting to restrict substantive evidence. Mainstream media print lies, but don't retract when corrected. Why did Fox news give North Carolina early, in error, to HRC in 2016? Why in 2020 did Fox news also give North Carolina early? How did pollsters measure fraudulent votes before they were cast? Why were pollsters so wrong about Trump popularity? 

We know that FBI began investigating Trump before the 2016 election. We know it was based on a lie that had not been started by bona fide security channels but was initiated from HRC campaign and shepherded by senior CIA and FBI executives. What does Barr know that allows him to claim what he does? 

https://rumble.com/vc3fg9-tue-22nd-december-2020-current-affairs.html

Trump is fighting to get re elected after he was voted back in. Nothing is certain. I am confident he will walk down one of the roads which sees him inaugurated again on 20th January 2021. I am also certain there are very bad people fighting for their lives as criminals to deny him. The rumour surrounding Governor Kemp does not have to be true. The possibility that Kemp's daughter's significant other was murdered to threaten Kemp illustrates the stakes. If voter fraud is real, and has been detailed, imagine the breadth of the corruption involved in independently and multiply, conning voter authorities. It was not merely using COVID hysteria to change laws to allow voter fraud. It was not merely using trucks to carry fake ballots across state lines. It was not merely opening voting machines to hostile governments. It was not merely foreign governments compromising legislature in significant committees. It is not merely covering up for the corrupt activities. It is not merely tasking tech giants to sideline debate. It is all of that, and more. In order to maintain the lie, what keeps the corrupt pollsters in Georgia in line, and waiting for more? What keeps corrupt judges from respecting the law and the constitution? If the Media editors are corrupt, are the journalists corrupt too? All of them? When was it that not one capable, honest journalist worked at CNN? When was it that entire support structures of Facebook and Google would countenance the deception they perpetrate? 

I can tell you I have no evidence that suggests there is an honest journalist at CNN. NYT, WaPo, LA Times etc etc. I have no evidence that suggests FB or Google are not part of a cabal. My interactions suggest gross incompetence among judges, police and authorities. I see a depraved indifference to the welfare of ordinary citizens as educational authorities persecute children who don't toe their lines, or repeat lies of convenience. 

Allow me to throw some truth bombs illustrating the issues. COVID-19 is not as bad as a bad 'flu in terms of mortality, and the worst affected, elderly people, are living longer now than they were a year ago. Masks do not help healthy people fight COVID. AGW is a lie, and the world's temperatures have been rising since the end of the ice age, but seem more stable at the moment. Carbon Dioxide is plant food, a trace particle in our atmosphere and necessary for life on Earth. Fracking provides cheap, effective gas. Solar power is inefficient. Wind power is poorly implemented, killing birds. Nuclear power is safe, and something Iran should never have. It is ok to pray in school, or in church, or in public. It is ok to swear on a bible, or talk to God. It is not racist to ignore race. It is racist to promote race. Publicly funded wildlife protection is a failure, but farming is incredibly successful. No farm animal is an endangered species. Kneeling in support of racism is not healthy. Standing for God and country can be motivating. Donald Trump got over 74 million votes from people we knew existed, and saw at rallies. Biden's votes did not seem to come from any known source, and he is not as popular as Obama was. Obama belongs in jail for the Russia Hoax and his work to undermine the 2020 election too. Obama started a new cld war because he was deficient in foreign policy. Trump has miraculously achieved what Obama could not, in Israel, NK, Iran, Syria and the United States. 

https://rumble.com/vc2bbj-editorial-mon-21st-december-2020-current-affairs.html

There are two side stories to election fraud that I'm surprised no one is talking about. Biden in 2020 and Kevin Rudd in 2007. Both situations had had tremendous voter suppression played by mainstream media. Biden was too weak relative to Trump, and so the fraud was obvious because too much ground had to be made up. Kevin Rudd was aided by Malcolm Turnbull's betrayal of the Liberal Party of Australia, resulting from the failure of Peter Costello to campaign for the leadership from Mr Howard. But the media are ignoring corruption efforts by Biden and Rudd which they ought to question. 

With Joe Biden, he was VP and had special interests in Ukraine on 17th July 2014 when MH17 was shot down by Russian separatist forces. As the separatists reported the accident to Moscow, US signals intelligence picked up the chatter. The question has never been asked publicly, why was a civilian aircraft targeted? And, why was US signals intelligence so quick in intercepting that particular signal? The answer lies with Ukraine's problem with Russian separatists shooting down their military aircraft, killing many troops. Someone decided that Ukraine could paint their military aircraft with radio civilian identifiers. This trained the separatists to ignore civilian identifiers, and so tragedy resulted. Only the tragedy was not unexpected by Ukraine, who failed to warn Malaysia that Ukraine was a war zone. US signals intelligence were prepared to capitalise on the tragedy. Is the media protecting Biden and Ukraine from war crimes inquiry? 

In '07, Kevin Rudd bragged he had special contacts within Australian defence forces which would address problems he claimed Mr Howard had failed. One issue Rudd identified was Timor's rebel leader, Alfredo Reinado. Reinado had had some training in Australia and Rudd was convinced he could stop him where Howard had not. Soon, after Rudd became PM, on 11th February 2008, Reinado attempted to detain the Timorise leadership of Ramos-Horta and Gusmao, and was killed. It was soon called an assassination attempt. It looked like a bungled black ops which resulted in poisoning what had once been a good relationship between Australia and Timor. Had Kevin Rudd bungled the issue with a rushed black ops mission? My name is David Daniel Ball, and I'm here to help. 

https://rumble.com/vc1a61-editorial-sunday-20th-december-2020.html?mref=23gga&mrefc=11===

Who will be left for Democrats after Obama, Biden, HRC, Schiff, Warren and Pelosi are prosecuted for their Russia Collusion Hoax? What will be left of the FBI and DOJ after Mueller, Comey et al are prosecuted for their collusion? Dan Bongino discusses the explosive exposure of how Russia has had HRC emails from her illegal server in which HRC tried to deflect from her exposure by blaming President Trump. What of the powerful tech business allies of HRC who colluded to get Biden elected President? How will FB, Google, youtube and Twitter be affected? Will their CEO's escape jail time? What of CNN? NBCNews?, CBSNews? FoxNews? 

I'm waiting for delayed gratification. T45 may well be the greatest President USA has had, based on analysis of achievements to date. He fixed a broken economy. He achieved peace by not going to war. He commandeered initiative in science and tech. He worked for all constituents, not the corrupt few which his opponents focused on. 

Opposition to T45 has been substantially larger than for any previous President. The Russia Hoax dominated (swamped) his Presidency. Treasonous activity by tech giants and social elite have persecuted T45. Partly, that was at T45's behest because he was an outsider to Washington. Trump has walked a path others have not because opposition to outsiders is fierce. Including from within his own party, with RINO members part of the swamp. 

Trump won re-election in terms of votes cast in record numbers. The swamp is trying to steal it from him. The swamp are abusing legal avenues to prevent analysis of their illegal activity. What will happen when it is decided that has not worked? How many people will the swamp kill to protect their 'interests'? In order to protect the union, SCOTUS has not acted prematurely. It is up to state legislatures to do the right thing. How will RINO affect the outcome of those state legislature? Will RINO break the union to support the swamp?

A valuable lesson in UK of her civil war was the importance of secular administration. But radical atheists are demanding areligious education, not secular. The result undermines Australian culture. There is no benefit from a value free education. There is no reward for this radical adherence. Programs like Safe Schools undermine broad understanding of sexual realities that are stone age, and present in every successful society in recorded history. And in place is deposited a social experiment which similarly failed in the French Revolution.

For there to be religious freedom then the state has to keep out of religious issues. Not by accepting anything called religious, but by governing on balanced and fair secular principles. The success of secular administrations is in strong contrast to the purity obsessed of religious and areligious governments. Wowserish atheists like Dan Andrews may celebrate preventing religious education. But they won’t be around when the social cost is felt decades later. Religious people tend to be volunteers. Faithful people tend to strong communities willing to sacrifice. Widening gender identity from the two covering 99% of the population at primary schools will not make for better educational outcomes.

I like the IPA but don't agree with them on everything. They support free speech when few others do. They do research where others don't. The IPA are chummy with Turnbull's Liberal party and it does them little credit. There is nothing wrong with supporting conservative government but the Turnbull administration has not shown competence and does not deserve to be lauded. Turnbull failed in '09 having undermined first Howard and then Dr Nelson. Effective in undermining, Turnbull dithered in office and brought nothing worthwhile to the leadership position. Turnbull has had a long time to think about what his mistakes were then, but he has clearly not done so. Turnbull's inept leadership also discredits his supporters who clearly lack cool judgement or aren't working to public interest. It isn't as if Turnbull has to be incompetent. One would welcome good administration. 

For some, at the moment, the Sex Party has more credibility.

As the Danish city of Aarhus embraces migrants who have gone to fight ISIL, we find out what happens to boys, some as young as eight years old, who accompany family on their journey to ISIL to kill Muslims. They don't miss out on school. One seventeen year old describes a class where students are in a circle. Teachers brought in three frightened Syrian soldiers who were jeered and forced to their knees. Then volunteers were chosen in the activity of cutting off heads. The seventeen year old described it as being like chopping an onion. Afterwards, the severed heads were passed around. And when those students return to their adopted land of Denmark, they can expect to be greeted by therapists and counsellors keen to prevent them from choosing radical Islam. 

A nice idea had wave powered power generators generating power for Australia. Oceanlinx built two. Heavily subsidised by $4million from their $7million cost. One failed in situ, another sank on the way. Oceanlinx has folded without their good idea generating power for Australia or anyone else. 

ALP poll well on press support for their no policy stance. 

NK responds to US shutting down their internet with racist slurs. Obama is wrong to target ethnic groups for government. The US needs adults.

What is in a name? The issue came home to me when I was watching a cricket match on Boxing Day and a Pakistani all rounder, thirty one years old was bowling. He was quick and compact. But what struck me was his name. He was named after terrorist leader Yasir Arafat. 

People who follow the news might not be aware of Arafat's achievements. Born in Egypt in 1929, Arafat founded Fatah in 1959. It was a National Socialist (Nazi) style revolutionary party based in a civil war in Jordan. 

In the late 1960s, tensions between Palestinians and the Jordanian government increased greatly; heavily armed Arab resistance elements had created a virtual "state within a state" in Jordan, eventually controlling several strategic positions in that country. After their victory in the Battle of Karameh, Fatah and other Palestinian militias began taking control of civil life in Jordan. They set up roadblocks, publicly humiliated Jordanian police forces, molested women and levied illegal taxes – all of which Arafat either condoned or ignored (Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatah)
Fleeing Jordan to Syria, a splinter group of Fatah called itself the Black September Organisation. The targeting of Israelis seems cynical political, rather than ideological. Just as Hitler used genocide to garner support by attacking a minority, Arafat used the same minority the same way to garner popular support without offending or targeting Christians. Among innovations and early adoptions of Arafat's terror include hijacking planes and killing Israeli athletes at Munich Olympics in '72. 

Egypt's peace deal with Israel limited support for Arafat, who fled Syria for Lebanon, and then fled Lebanon when a civil war he inflamed led Israel to invade to defend herself. Arafat was behind the first and second intifada. Given UN patronage, Arafat lost the support of the Soviet Union with her collapse, Arafat was offered the choice of giving up terrorism and becoming a statesman late in his life. He embraced terror, rather than accept a peace deal. UN support had made him a very rich man. 

He called himself Muslim. He called himself Palestinian. There is no evidence he was ever anything he called himself. 

A 1982 born Pakistani cricketer with that name is no threat to world peace. But it is not a name to be proud of.

Today's Old Testament reading: Haggai 1-2


A Call to Build the House of the LORD
1 In the second year of King Darius, on the first day of the sixth month, the word of the LORD came through the prophet Haggai to Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua son of Jozadak, the high priest:
2 This is what the LORD Almighty says: “These people say, ‘The time has not yet come to rebuild the LORD’s house.’”
3 Then the word of the LORD came through the prophet Haggai: 4 “Is it a time for you yourselves to be living in your paneled houses, while this house remains a ruin?”
5 Now this is what the LORD Almighty says: “Give careful thought to your ways. 6 You have planted much, but harvested little. You eat, but never have enough. You drink, but never have your fill. You put on clothes, but are not warm. You earn wages, only to put them in a purse with holes in it....”

Today's New Testament reading: Revelation 17

Babylon, the Prostitute on the Beast
1 One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the punishment of the great prostitute, who sits by many waters. 2 With her the kings of the earth committed adultery, and the inhabitants of the earth were intoxicated with the wine of her adulteries.”

3 Then the angel carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness. There I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was covered with blasphemous names and had seven heads and ten horns. 4 The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, and was glittering with gold, precious stones and pearls. She held a golden cup in her hand, filled with abominable things and the filth of her adulteries....

Morning


"The last Adam."
1 Corinthians 15:45
Jesus is the federal head of his elect. As in Adam, every heir of flesh and blood has a personal interest, because he is the covenant head and representative of the race as considered under the law of works; so under the law of grace, every redeemed soul is one with the Lord from heaven, since he is the Second Adam, the Sponsor and Substitute of the elect in the new covenant of love. The apostle Paul declares that Levi was in the loins of Abraham when Melchizedek met him: it is a certain truth that the believer was in the loins of Jesus Christ, the Mediator, when in old eternity the covenant settlements of grace were decreed, ratified, and made sure forever. Thus, whatever Christ hath done, he hath wrought for the whole body of his Church. We were crucified in him and buried with him (read Col. 2:10-13), and to make it still more wonderful, we are risen with him and even ascended with him to the seats on high (Eph. 2:6). It is thus that the Church has fulfilled the law, and is "accepted in the beloved." It is thus that she is regarded with complacency by the just Jehovah, for he views her in Jesus, and does not look upon her as separate from her covenant head. As the Anointed Redeemer of Israel, Christ Jesus has nothing distinct from his Church, but all that he has he holds for her. Adam's righteousness was ours so long as he maintained it, and his sin was ours the moment that he committed it; and in the same manner, all that the Second Adam is or does, is ours as well as his, seeing that he is our representative. Here is the foundation of the covenant of grace. This gracious system of representation and substitution, which moved Justin Martyr to cry out, "O blessed change, O sweet permutation!" this is the very groundwork of the gospel of our salvation, and is to be received with strong faith and rapturous joy.

"Lo, I am with you alway."
Matthew 28:20

The Lord Jesus is in the midst of his church; he walketh among the golden candlesticks; his promise is, "Lo, I am with you alway." He is as surely with us now as he was with the disciples at the lake, when they saw coals of fire, and fish laid thereon and bread. Not carnally, but still in real truth, Jesus is with us. And a blessed truth it is, for where Jesus is, love becomes inflamed. Of all the things in the world that can set the heart burning, there is nothing like the presence of Jesus! A glimpse of him so overcomes us, that we are ready to say, "Turn away thine eyes from me, for they have overcome me." Even the smell of the aloes, and the myrrh, and the cassia, which drop from his perfumed garments, causes the sick and the faint to grow strong. Let there be but a moment's leaning of the head upon that gracious bosom, and a reception of his divine love into our poor cold hearts, and we are cold no longer, but glow like seraphs, equal to every labour, and capable of every suffering. If we know that Jesus is with us, every power will be developed, and every grace will be strengthened, and we shall cast ourselves into the Lord's service with heart, and soul, and strength; therefore is the presence of Christ to be desired above all things. His presence will be most realized by those who are most like him. If you desire to see Christ, you must grow in conformity to him. Bring yourself, by the power of the Spirit, into union with Christ's desires, and motives, and plans of action, and you are likely to be favoured with his company. Remember his presence may be had. His promise is as true as ever. He delights to be with us. If he doth not come, it is because we hinder him by our indifference. He will reveal himself to our earnest prayers, and graciously suffer himself to be detained by our entreaties, and by our tears, for these are the golden chains which bind Jesus to his people.

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

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

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


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