Bairnsdale Conservative: Wed 8th 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

Biden 'popularity' plummets as he struggles to stand upright. It is elder abuse as Democrats exploit Biden merely because he wears the suit they have given him over decades. However, he wore that suit for decades, and every choice he made lead him to being exploited as an old man. It is hard to be sympathetic to a man who is responsible for the deaths of the Malaysian flight shot down over Ukraine by Russian separatists after Biden set up a sting. Or, responsible for sexual assaults on various women in his life. Or, responsible for outrageous behaviours to minors. Or, connected to corruption and pilfering by family in influence trading around the world. Was he ever popular? Where is the evidence?

Rittenhouse accusers double down on lies they told prior to verdict acquitting Rittenhouse of wrongdoing. It is apparent the FBI were behind riots that opposed Trump under the aegis of Black Lives Matter or ANTIFA.

Cancel culture meets Fatty Arbuckle standard as leftists bend over backwards to excuse Alec Baldwin and fallen Empire star, Jussie Smollett. It is worth noting now, a hundred years later, Fatty Arbuckle was clean cut, and accused by a blackmailer of a rape there is still no evidence even suggesting he committed. Fatty had just let his hair down with a San Francisco party that got wild, and one party goes died from their addiction. Fatty cared for them as a responsible person, and that opened him to a blackmailer and an ambitious district attorney. Media, including Hearst's empire impugned Fatty for their own ends. Hollywood was, then, as now, a hot bed for licentious behaviour. So Arbuckle was unjustly persecuted, and following his acquittal, spent most of the next decade unable to work. He died attempting a comeback. Is that the road for Rittenhouse? Baldwin? Smollett?

Following is what jurors wrote about Arbuckle as they acquitted him on his third trial.

Acquittal is not enough for Roscoe Arbuckle. We feel that a great injustice has been done him. We feel also that it was only our plain duty to give him this exoneration, under the evidence, for there was not the slightest proof adduced to connect him in any way with the commission of a crime. He was manly throughout the case and told a straightforward story on the witness stand, which we all believed. The happening at the hotel was an unfortunate affair for which Arbuckle, so the evidence shows, was in no way responsible. We wish him success and hope that the American people will take the judgment of fourteen men and woman who have sat listening for thirty-one days to evidence, that Roscoe Arbuckle is entirely innocent and free from all blame.

How would ANTIFA or BLM respond to Arbuckle today?

Today is a big day for

In 65 BC, Cicero gave the fourth and final of the Catiline Orations. In 1408, Emir Edigu of Golden Horde reached Moscow. In 1484, Pope Innocent VIII issued the Summis desiderantes affectibus, a papal bull that deputised Heinrich Kramer and Jacob Sprenger as inquisitors to root out alleged witchcraft in Germany. In 1492, Christopher Columbus became the first European to set foot on the island of Hispaniola (now Haiti and the Dominican Republic). In 1496, King Manuel I of Portugal issued a decree of expulsion of "heretics" from the country. In 1766, in London, James Christie held his first sale.

In 1831, former U.S. President John Quincy Adams took his seat in the House of Representatives. In 1847, Jefferson Davis was elected to the U.S. senate, his first political post. In 1848, California Gold Rush: In a message to the United States Congress, U.S. President James K. Polk confirmed that large amounts of gold had been discovered in California. In 1876, the Brooklyn Theater Fire killed at least 278 people in Brooklyn, New York. In 1916, British premier H. H. Asquith resigned from his post. In 1932, German-born Swiss physicist Albert Einstein was granted an American visa. In 1933, Prohibition in the United States ended: Utah became the 36th U.S. state to ratify the Twenty-first Amendment to the United States Constitution, thus establishing the required 75% of states needed to enact the amendment. (This overturned the 18th Amendment which had made the manufacture, sale, or transportation of alcohol illegal in the United States.)

In 1941, World War II: In the Battle of Moscow, Georgy Zhukov launched a massive Soviet counter-attack against the German army, with the biggest offensive launched against Army Group Centre. Also, World War II: Great Britain declared war on Finland, Hungary and Romania. In 1943, World War II: U.S. Army Air Force began attacking Germany's secret weapons bases in Operation Crossbow. In 1945, Flight 19 was lost in the Bermuda Triangle.

In 1969, the four node ARPANET network was established. In 1977, Egypt broke diplomatic relations with Syria, Libya, Algeria, Iraq and South Yemen. The move was in retaliation for the Declaration of Tripoli against Egypt. In 1978, the Soviet Union signed a "friendship treaty" with the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan. In 2004, the Civil Partnership Act came into effect in the United Kingdom, and the first civil partnership was registered there.In 2006, Commodore Frank Bainimarama overthrew the government in Fiji.

=== From 2020 ===

PJ Media, balanced reporting group, have published an article claiming that the 2020 election was likely not fraudulently drawn, but a result of big tech creating a new lobby effort which institutionalises bias. It is true that big tech have done just that. However, Trump over-performed in the election forcing a Dem cabal to resort to voter fraud and it wasn't finessed as it had been in the past. In fact, it is obvious. Circumstantial evidence points to Biden not being popular at all, and not outperforming Obama by tens of millions. Circumstantial evidence points to it being unlikely 16.7% of counties favouring Biden elected him President, even with up to 350% of votes in a voting area favouring Biden. We have testimony of late postal votes being delivered over state lines in their hundreds of thousands. We know the vote system was vulnerable to outside influence and that checks and balances ensuring a fair election were removed. We know the fraud was prepared in advance, multi pronged, with the COVID health scare employed to overturn voting regulations ensuring fairness. We know voters favoured GOP in down votes on Senate and the house. Trump won fairly. Biden is attempting to steal the election, as Hillary attempted in 2016 with the Russia hoax, for which she has not served jail time, yet.

Is COVID hysteria entirely so China can influence the US election outcome? Were the lockdowns in Europe and Australia so that US states could claim a state of emergency and allow for dysfunctional voting procedure? Is it the case that people have died as a result of COVID hysteria, while the worst affected by COVID are not dying in the same numbers as they were pre-COVID?

There are reports on a Lt General McInerney claiming the Dominion server which was used to change votes and 'elect' Biden has been seized from a CIA site in Germany. Some US soldiers died. Details will be privy to SCOTUS. If true, several significant peoples on Democrat side face treason accusations. Several Deep State operatives face treason accusations. Could the first 'black President' of the United States face justice for his crimes? NB AFP fact check denies claim.

How did #FakeNews predict a blue wave from 16.7% of counties favouring Biden? How did they measure voter fraud? How come #FakeNews is now unaware of voter fraud? Is it now the case that Democrat tactics are to force SCOTUS to make a decision so they can then claim SCOTUS is compromised?

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

We know who voted for Trump. We saw them. Queues of people with hats and signs and cheering Trump in their thousands all over USA. We have not seen people in great numbers who supported Biden. There is no evidence they have ever existed outside of a riot or a hissy fit by a Democrat partisan election official.

I watch Dan Bongino on Rumble and heard him on his Rumble cast say Trump should have addressed disloyal swamp creatures sooner. I disagree with it, and might have egg all over my face soon for saying so, but following is my reasoning. Trump has temporised on facing some of the swamp, not hesitated. Late last year, Trump said he was pulling troops out of Syria and was criticised for it severely. But then an ISIS leader stood up and special forces ran him to committing suicide rather than be taken. The operation, a sting masterminded by Trump had not included significant figures within his administration, and sparked a resignation of National Security Adviser Bolton, who had not been in the loop. Imagine the resistance if Trump had opposed more? But now, if Trump politically survives this, the swamp is exposed and has no support from conservatives. I'm reminded of former Premier of Victoria Jeff Kennett who had led a successful conservative government and had a crash or crash through election which he lost. Had Kennett won, he had clear air for a long time, but having lost Victoria is where the US will be if Biden is allowed to cheat a win.

Trump cycle has it Trump is on his knees, before ... Media is cheering expected partisan court decisions to not support inquiry into voting fraud. However, they overstate the meaning of the shortfalls. The Trump campaign to have their electoral win restored was never going to be straightforward. They have the evidence. It points to multiple elections and undermines the credibility of US Democracy. Ultimately, aspects of it will be decided by SCOTUS. We do not yet know how SCOTUS will decide, or even what exact evidence they will face. But we know the evidence is substantial, and in an effort to suppress the will of conservative resistance, media are claiming that the evidence is not substantive and so the evidence is yet to be addressed. Maybe there is a good reason for a CIA asset being deployed to fraudulently control the US election. Let us hear what it is.

It is apparent that Dems committed fraud to steal the 2020 election. They may well have done similar in 2016. In 2016, Fox declared Pennsylvania early to HRC. The demand was made for Trump to concede. Trump won in 2016, but it surprised the establishment that did similar in their voter suppression as they have done in 2020. HRC had organised a victory party, but blessed marching vagina instead. Even her book did not say what happened. Trump has been very good at mobilising ordinary, decent Americans to support him in numbers greater than any GOP ever. Trump does not court race, or gender, like his racist, bigoted opposition have. Yet Trump has extraordinary minority support for a GOP, possibly the highest since Eleanor Roosevelt courted the Black vote as her husband exploited them. The Dem voting pattern and issues echo the Obama wins too. How long have Dems been using these fraudulent methods to obtain votes? Did they use them to bodgy the 2006 mid terms? It is not that the mysterious support of vapour for Dems is so clearly fraudulent, but, other than violent rioters, and #FakeNews, where is their support, really? How come there is no policy platform for Democrats? Why does Big Tech have to censor the truth? How many millions of Trump supporting votes have been given to Biden? The corruption is so apparent, and so pervasive, that if Trump concedes 2020, he will be conceding all elections that follow, and the flame of liberty will be extinguished in America.

=== From 2017 ===

Don't give up on hope. Mainstream press are not covering it, but the US embassy in Israel has been moved by Donald Trump to Jerusalem where it belongs. Terrorists will be losing face with their supporters. It is the third big triumph for Trump today, who also saw the Supreme Court pass his travel ban and the Senate his tax reform.

Trump supports Alabama GOP candidate Roy Moore. Backsliding GOP re endorse him. FBI hunt and destroy General Mike Flynn. Mike Flynn has confessed to nothing of substance, but the establishment has leaked, exposing security operations so as to get him. Mueller let Mark Felt get away with abuse of power. What is different? Is it that Flynn is actually competent while Felt protected the Weather Underground terrorist movement and lied about Nixon?

Meanwhile the Australian senate passed a censure motion against Milo Yiannopoulos, which should be noted as an abuse of power. Milo is not a terrorist supporter. Some say Milo says rude, provocative things, but then so do a lot of terrorist supporters and the senate says nothing about them.

Victorian power bills surge another $277 on top of other recent price increases. Christmas trading is down in Australian retail sectors as Turnbull's clumsy political handling of everything frightens shoppers. Four ALP may lose seats for being dual citizens.

=== from 2016 ===

A centre-ist Italian PM who promoted leftist issues has resigned after a failed attempt to pass draconian legislation. A great NZ PM has resigned on top, after eight years, to be with family. He leaves NZ in great shape. Australian PM, Malcolm Turnbull is getting increasingly desperate. Turnbull cannot do anything worthwhile, so instead he has disbanded the “Green Army” for cost savings (it had been Tony Abbott’s idea) and attempts to legislate for a carbon dioxide tax. Such a tax would be regressive and do little for Australia as the US gets ready to dismantle her entanglements with AGW theory. Carbon Dioxide has nothing to do with so called climate change. The tax will only hurt business and consumers. But Malcolm Turnbull wants to assure his place in history. Another Turnbull move to be anticipated is an attempt to legislate gay marriage. Posterity is very important to Malcolm, and it is obvious if he isn’t rolled by the Liberals, he will lose to the ALP next election. For the empty suit, he might go down in flames, or succeed in bad policy. Gillard is MT’s model.

=== from 2015 ===

Australia has significant debt which has to be paid. It should not be left to our children to pay for it. If we do, our children, or their children, may have to go entirely without something we take for granted. We have a spending problem. We could cut some spending on Education to improve the spending we already have. A second English teacher in front of the top English class in year 10 is probably a waste of resources. It would be of more immediate benefit to Math students in the lower middle to work on basics. That does not cost much. But failure to do so ay mean we have no money for remedial work at all, going forward. And it is similar with bloated services in Health and public administration. At the moment, we have bureaucrats without jobs. Get rid of Climate Change department before we have to ditch meteorology.

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

From 2014

ALP opposition

Shorten still fails and so promotes independent parties. The ALP has said 'no' to almost all government legislation, including legislation the ALP put in place or backed while in office. The result is that minority parties have extraordinary power, but the results are a dysfunctional parliament which upsets the voting public. The government has been relentless, and so a desperate Palmer has pushed his party to fracture when it had every single advantage. PUP could have become a deal breaker, and been credited with bringing in needed reform in Health, Education and Welfare. Instead it has a voting record which closely matches the ALP and a history of being unable to keep its own promises. Even if Palmer himself survives his court cases politically, he has junked his reputation. Lambie, a former PUP, has opposed legislation allowing children that ALP failed to drown out of detention. PUP Lazarus has not opposed that legislation, but has said he found it very confronting. He really wanted those children detained, presumably. Sarah Hanson Young (Green) was appalled that the government would free those children. The media is desperately pointing at polls and hysterically claiming that the government is doomed come the next election. They point to alleged division within government ranks and claim Mr Hockey is to blame for the ALP failing to assert itself. It may well be true that Joe has destroyed the ALP with his budget, but that is not yet widely recognised. Even if an election were called tomorrow, all that would happen would be the public recognition that the ALP have no policy.

ABC struggling to come to terms with children they couldn't drown being freed from detention. When the ALP were in government, it was easy for the ABC, as all they needed to do was ignore the issue, or claim there was no solution. Now they report on the problem and blame the government when it was the fault of the previous government. Meanwhile, 7:30 report finished by highlighting thirty years of partisan politics resulting in systemic failure. Quentin Dempster mentioned he had campaigned against Joh Bjelke-Petersen in Queensland before coming to NSW to campaign against the Liberals. He gloated at how he shielded successive ALP governments from criticism.

Quantising ALP debt isn't hard. It is that big. Bolt posts Hekler's suggestions.

Example 1. The debt left by the Labor party is so great that if we took half of everything earned by every Australian for two years the debt would return to zero.
Example 2. The debt left by the Labor party is so great that if we stopped every Social Security payment for three years the debt would return to zero.
Example 3. The debt left by the Labor party is so great that if we spent no money on health for seven years the debt would return to zero.
Example 4. The debt left by the Labor party is so great that if we spent no money on education for 14 years the debt would return to zero
Example 5. The debt left by the Labor party is so great that if we spent no money on defence for 19 years the debt would return to zero

Chris Bowen admits the ALP has no policy. In an interview with Tony Jones Bowen claims he would reinstate cancelled spending by the Libs, but had no way of paying for that promise, beyond extending debt.

Left wing fantasy land is built where according to Bolt "Passion trumps truth. Hatred substitutes for an understanding of the other." Bolt lists examples, but that list is not exhaustive.

Other issues

Clive Palmer is failing to stay afloat. He is losing court cases and pursued by journalists and China. Instead of making fiends, he has tried to control people, and so his power is failing. Soon he will be as pathetic as a teary Joh Bjelke-Petersen locked in Queensland's parliament having lost election after following Palmer's advice.

Cuneen vs ICAC. ICAC are desperate to be torn apart before they have to finish investigations into the ALP. To that end they have had an investigation into the conservative NSW government that has not shown any corruption, but has claimed scalps. But the disciplined LNP in NSW has weathered the storm. So the ICAC are upping the ante. Prosecutor Cuneen has been maliciously accused of advising her son's girlfriend to avoid breath testing when she had had no alcohol in her system. There is nothing to investigate. But if the ICAC do investigate, they can fish for things that are irrelevant. Few individuals, no matter how virtuous would stand up to such probing. But the ICAC have been denied their attempt at corrupt investigation. But they are appealing the decision based on principle. They really want to be wound up for corruption before they have to investigate the ALP.

The issue of blacks dying resisting arrest. The US does not have a problem with racist policeman. Two recent celebrated cases show conclusively that the real issue is the pop culture mentality of those resisting arrest. If a policeman detains you, you go do as you are told and let the courts and lawyers settle it. It isn't the job of the police to play with idiots resisting arrest. But then, tragically, the miscarriage of justice with the arrest of Rodney King has it that any idiot can get rich resisting arrest. And they can. But they can also die.

Frightbat's tragic tale of an untouched hand as Blair reports on Clementine Ford's boarding of a train and not having her hand touched. Apparently men are awful.

From 2013

Much needs to be done, it is hard to know where to start. One important agenda item is to do with the ABC. It won't be fixed at once, as there is a culture of corruption pervading it from the lowest levels to the top. It is important to have a national broadcaster. It isn't desirable to have a bad one. I believe the news and current affair element needs to be separated. The infotainment that has resulted from the abysmal journalism service has obfuscated all of the most important events of the last forty years. While people would be aware of the role of the ABC in bringing about a diplomatic incident with Indonesia, they would not be aware of how the ABC has protected ALP from corruption investigation. Consider the following Media Watch questions to Tim Blair following the story of a constituent of Nathan Reese having an affair with him. Reese had confessed to parliament his misjudgement and stood aside from his portfolio.

Media Watch asked:1. Were you aware at the time of publication that this story had been rejected by two other media outlets?2. Did that give you any concerns?3. Why did you decide it was in the public interest to reveal what several commentators have described as a private matter?4. Why did you not reveal the name of the woman involved, given that the credibility and completeness of her account may be at issue?5. Were you concerned about this woman’s reported connection to people in the NSW ALP?

The serious issue involved a shadow police minister and a former Premier. The possibility of corruption and blackmail is strong. It is hard to know under what circumstances it would not be in the public interest to run the story. Now consider my issue in finding a reporter for the issue of dead schoolboy Hamidur Rahman and a bungled pedophile investigation at Campbelltown PAHS. I have, through no fault of my own, been unemployed since July 2007. My life savings is gone. I have been illegally blacklisted. My citizenship evidence was destroyed by Bob Carr. I have been denied legal aid because of my race. I have been harassed for being fat and US born by my equal opportunity employer. I have been paid less than award wage by the government under Gillard's Fair Work legislation. My life has been threatened by a known hit man. I have privately engaged with the ALP on many occasions to get the issue sorted without public fuss. Keep in mind, I have never been allowed to put my position before any court. I gave some information to the NSW coroner, but they ignored it after the police incompetently, or corruptly, failed to examine it.

I know journalists of all ages and descriptions. A former student of mine who was a cadet journalist said they couldn't help because it was 'above their pay grade.' A senior journalist has told me they have been instructed by editors they cannot report on my issue. These questions from Media Watch illustrate why it is so hard for me to get my story told, despite extreme privation and substantial evidence.

The ABC can no longer merely balance their abysmal service. We don't need them to lie about conservatives. We need them to report impartially. They have failed by any measure.

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, 2 John 1

The elder,

To the lady chosen by God and to her children, whom I love in the truth—and not I only, but also all who know the truth— because of the truth, which lives in us and will be with us forever:

Grace, mercy and peace from God the Father and from Jesus Christ, the Father’s Son, will be with us in truth and love.

It has given me great joy to find some of your children walking in the truth, just as the Father commanded us. And now, dear lady, I am not writing you a new command but one we have had from the beginning. I ask that we love one another. And this is love: that we walk in obedience to his commands. As you have heard from the beginning, his command is that you walk in love.

I say this because many deceivers, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh, have gone out into the world. Any such person is the deceiver and the antichrist. Watch out that you do not lose what we have worked for, but that you may be rewarded fully. Anyone who runs ahead and does not continue in the teaching of Christ does not have God; whoever continues in the teaching has both the Father and the Son. If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not take them into your house or welcome them. Anyone who welcomes them shares in their wicked work.

I have much to write to you, but I do not want to use paper and ink. Instead, I hope to visit you and talk with you face to face, so that our joy may be complete.

The children of your sister, who is chosen by God, send their greetings.

Don't give up on hope. My Drivers License saga is nearing an end. Victoria were happy for me to have one, provided I got a health check form completed. I offered my doctor's notes, but they required the standard waivers only available on the form. That was 11th September. My doctor said she did not know me, despite having my entire medical history, and insisted I see a sleep specialist regarding my sleep apnea.

I thought it good to see a sleep specialist as I needed alternatives for my APAP, I'm considering the micro CPAP. Also a hose was damaged recently and I need a replacement. When I last got my APAP an upgrade was available for free, but I had lost everything in the raw sewage flood including redemption items, and I hoped to get that fixed up.

I asked my previous sleep specialist for their notes on my case. They had previously said that so long as I was compliant with using the APAP machine I was cured. Turns out all notes following my initial prognosis have disappeared. So My doctor booked me for a sleep study. I pointed out that a sleep study was absurd when all the necessary data was on my machine. She found a specialist who could bulk bill. Only, they would not bulk bill. They said it would be $150 but I'd get back 85%. I made the booking. I waited for the appointment. A few days before the appointment I was told I needed $250 cash. I made the withdrawal. Saw the specialist. and paid $200.

The specialist was cheerful and suggested weight management unprompted. They want to see me again next year. They could not help me regarding the APAP or advise me regarding micro CPAP. They did not have the necessary software to read my machine data (ResMed) but could read from the machine and said I was cured so long as I was compliant. They filled out part of the medical waiver. Reception gave me a receipt and directed me to Centrelink.

An optometrist completed part of the waiver, and my doctor said it was ok to ignore the rest re Diabetes and Heart issues.

Today, Centrelink got me to use the Medicare App. They informed me I would get back 64%. I'm not feeling charitable. But, it is a result. I get the drivers license, expert advice and one day, I'll be on my feet again, financially.

The teacher refugee support movement is misnamed, because they aren’t supporting refugees. Refugees are often trapped for years in a UN camp, unable to get placement because economic migrants and terrorists steal their places after employing people smugglers. The economic migrants risk drowning through accident or piracy. In some cases, it has been claimed terrorists have killed Christians on the journey. But the Christians were fleeing persecution. The teachers wearing refugee ‘supporting’ t shirts would be contravening the teacher’s code of conduct. Only, corruption within teacher ranks means that the code of conduct does not apply to them. In NSW, the Teacher’s Code of Conduct (2005) had been written so that the Premier of NSW could persecute me. I had not done anything wrong, but had responsibly reported on a teacher pedophile issue that had been bungled in investigation, and the subsequent death of a school child that had been covered up. An old school friend of mine had been working in the corrupt office of attorney general Jeff Shaw, and then moved to the NSW Premier’s office under Morris Iemma. They told me they had written the legislation. When a local Director of schools was parachuted into position, they instructed me to delete my writings under the code of conduct. Their words they employed had been the same as my old school friend.

Australia needs migrants, and lots of them. The issue of boat people is not about restricting migration, but about strong borders being fairer, more compassionate. Without boat migration, people don’t drown. Border security is better. But the press and ALP and Greens seem to like drowning families. Seem to like feeding terrorists. One can support refugees by calling for stronger borders.

Meanwhile in Victoria, the Education Department is being criticised for releasing the correct results early to some students. It was important that the government had a large number of support services available for students who were finally told what they had achieved from two years of study, which they probably already knew. Hopefully it won’t be shown that these services don’t actually address anything. The government is usually relied upon to release incorrect results. Maybe when Australia earns a top three position in world education, teachers can indulge in their fantasy projects.

Stephen Colbert uses Christians from Syria for laughs. Because it is funny to the people of the left that people they don't understand are raped, beheaded, abused and slaughtered. It fits with left wing thinking that elevates the desperate dying to reach Western nations after being exploited by pirates. Colbert could have a whole raft of jokes there. Don't forget the exploitation, Stephen, plenty of good guffaws at ISIS profiting $10-$20k a person. Don't let the GOP get away with helping the desperate and needy. If you work it right, maybe Trump will be candidate for the GOP for President. But if you work it better, Corey Booker will decide to run as a Dem, lose, but get Hillary elected. That would be a right royal laugh, right? And maybe as the last Christian in Syria is gutted for your amusement, you can chuckle.

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

From 2014

A great thing about China becoming wealthy is that their rich and middle class that rely on efficient markets are not going to tolerate corrupt interference from the communist state. They will force reform, and bring the administration towards working for China's national interests. Not by stealing foreign land, but by commerce. But, consider the changing of the guard that has the US being placed second in their economy to China in the world. The last time that was the case, US Grant was President. Highly criticised as a President, US Grant nonetheless oversaw a US economy on the ascendant. Obama promised Change, and this impressive statistic won't be the only record of his Presidency.

Australia has a similar leader of a political party as Obama, Bill Shorten is leader of the ALP and in opposition to the government. Shorten has not got a policy or vision of Australia as a nation. Shorten is a lawyer and union hack who has a faulty memory which reliably protects him from charges of corruption. He cannot be trusted and has backflipped to remove previous ALP leaders while climbing the greasy pole of ambition. Shorten opposes policy like maternity leave for working women. He opposed the baby bonus which was to provide a kind of maternity leave for poor women too. One guesses he doesn't like women he doesn't sleep with and hates their families too. He is also popular with the partisan press.

There are reasons why the ALP is popular when it is shown to be corrupt and inept. When the conservative parties lean to the left. Conservative parties cannot lean far enough to the left to attract votes, ever. Neither should they. All they need do is assert a conservative vision which offer competence and growth. But South Australian conservatives have abandoned conservatism in embracing populist, feel good items that promote minorities at the expense of cultural assets. So SA Liberals lurch to left and lose a heartland seat.

Asked to cut 5%, ABC management panics and cuts their regional services. Only the regional services are the only reason for ABC being, it isn't a commercial venture, but something requiring government funds to operate. It turns out the plans to drop regional service predated the cuts. But now ABC personnel are facing the chop and panicking. Some hysterically call the ABC's process for culling employees similar to the Hunger Games. The panicking staff are striking. The over paid presenters, however, while their colleagues strike, are on paid annual leave.

Mr Howard was correct to call out Cate Blanchett over her overblown oratory for Whitlam's funeral. She lied about free education. Education is not free. Somebody pays for it. Whitlam's bad policy was unaffordable and did not last. Blanchett claimed that such poverty inducing failure was laudable. Mr Howard has corrected her.

Mr Abbott mentioned in interview when presented with polls showing his government was not popular that Prime Minister Howard, President Reagan and Prime Minister (UK) Margaret Thatcher all struggled early in polls. Mr Abbott's point is that those three administrations were all long and effective. However, the partisan press have run with Mr Abbott's words meaning that he compared himself favourably with those three. As if Mr Abbott was, as a person, like Howard, Reagan and Thatcher. Mr Abbott did not claim what was reported, he is a gracious man and humble and those partisans who abuse him are beneath contempt.

Mars curiosities appear as an image in a smooth expanse shows a different terrain in the shape of a circle. The geological formation is curious, and some tin hatted peoples are saying it is unnatural. What unnatural thing could it be? A galactic USB port? An iPhone recharger? LBJ's nuclear activation button? Here at the conservative voice, we welcome suggestions as to what it is.

From 2013

Soon, responsible adults in government will deliver a shock to ABC followers who are unaware that Slush funds have been used to embezzle the nations poorest workers, exploited by senior ALP members. The full extent of the corruption is not yet known. In all likelihood, Fair Work will have to be restructured. I feel a Fair Work VP like Graham Watson should be promoted to oversee the full operations. He has an ALP profile, but is independent having done excellent work in the past with Costello on the Dockside workers. I don't have inside information on him (he is a cousin of mine) but I do know neither Gillard nor Rudd did him any favours.

Those that are badly abused for being conservative can't reply the same way. They just have to be better than their opponents. The result can sometimes be startling, as when Red Kerry took out Rudd's glass jaw with a simple question. Gillard subsequently rolled Rudd .. and the rest is history. Red Kerry stepped away from the 7:30 report. Still, the 7:30 report has not improved. But getting back to the point, the best way to deal with abuse is to be competent. Heckling can be destabilising and should never be encouraged. The demolition of Premier Nick Greiner is a shining example of how heckling can succeed to damage much. Hot heads are wanting to advise Mr Abbott. Better to allow Mr Abbott to do what is right.

$6 billion did little to reduce Australia's production of plant food. Eiffel tower is beautiful, but the light tribute to Mandela has not yet happened. One suspects that a computer game will not overthrow capitalism, but cashed up developers are welcome to try. Just don't label it educational. Obama has now ruled it is legal to hunt endangered birds with a wind mill. Fairfax stereotypes the image of a female. ABC pays a woman less than any man. Lefties use children as fodder for marketing. Fairfax targets a female conservative with misogynistic heckling campaign.

Friendly reminder. This is a discussion page, not a shared anger site. We argue ideas and politely disagree by providing substance. I note some have recently taken to posting abusive style material from ADL type sites. It is ok for you to hold those opinions, but the unsubstantiated abuse they spread isn't helpful for discussion. Before posting an item that states that Presbyterians are raping Martian Women because of their religious beliefs, ask yourself if you are posting something that is verifiable or merely outraged opinion. It will save me from having to direct my team to delete it .. and you.

Presbyterian youths aren't used to Martian customs .. they view their summer dress as a cat views its' dinner .. .. and yet they live among Martians, enjoying their lifestyle and income when it suits them, then go off to fight in Presbyterian wars that Martians have nothing to do with. There are basically two types of Presbyterians. One type believes in spiritual matters in which their central prophet will one day be restored to them, the other believe in very little, but are pragmatic in decision making. The spiritualists are more numerous around the world. The pragmatists tend to be excellent dictators in the fascist mould. I note some Martians praise some Presbyterians. "They don't kill many of us. The others are worse." Some say the US President was raised and remains a Presbyterian. Although there is pictorial evidence and a ghost written biography, most Martians feel he is really an apostate with atheist tendencies .. which is a perfect description for most Presbyterians who scuff Pork rolls, drink liquor and generally carouse with opposite gender animals they call pets when their youthful males aren't buggering each other.

The Writing on the Wall

¹ King Belshazzar gave a great banquet for a thousand of his nobles and drank wine with them. ² While Belshazzar was drinking his wine, he gave orders to bring in the gold and silver goblets that Nebuchadnezzar his father had taken from the temple in Jerusalem, so that the king and his nobles, his wives and his concubines might drink from them. ³ So they brought in the gold goblets that had been taken from the temple of God in Jerusalem, and the king and his nobles, his wives and his concubines drank from them. ⁴ As they drank the wine, they praised the gods of gold and silver, of bronze, iron, wood and stone.

⁵ Suddenly the fingers of a human hand appeared and wrote on the plaster of the wall, near the lampstand in the royal palace. The king watched the hand as it wrote. ⁶ His face turned pale and he was so frightened that his legs became weak and his knees were knocking.

⁷ The king summoned the enchanters, astrologers and diviners. Then he said to these wise men of Babylon, “Whoever reads this writing and tells me what it means will be clothed in purple and have a gold chain placed around his neck, and he will be made the third highest ruler in the kingdom....”

Morning

"Base things of the world hath God chosen."
1 Corinthians 1:28

Walk the streets by moonlight, if you dare, and you will see sinners then. Watch when the night is dark, and the wind is howling, and the picklock is grating in the door, and you will see sinners then. Go to yon jail, and walk through the wards, and mark the men with heavy over-hanging brows, men whom you would not like to meet at night, and there are sinners there. Go to the Reformatories, and note those who have betrayed a rampant juvenile depravity, and you will see sinners there. Go across the seas to the place where a man will gnaw a bone upon which is reeking human flesh, and there is a sinner there. Go where you will, you need not ransack earth to find sinners, for they are common enough; you may find them in every lane and street of every city, and town, and village, and hamlet. It is for such that Jesus died. If you will select me the grossest specimen of humanity, if he be but born of woman, I will have hope of him yet, because Jesus Christ is come to seek and to save sinners. Electing love has selected some of the worst to be made the best. Pebbles of the brook grace turns into jewels for the crown-royal. Worthless dross he transforms into pure gold. Redeeming love has set apart many of the worst of mankind to be the reward of the Saviour's passion. Effectual grace calls forth many of the vilest of the vile to sit at the table of mercy, and therefore let none despair.

Reader, by that love looking out of Jesus' tearful eyes, by that love streaming from those bleeding wounds, by that faithful love, that strong love, that pure, disinterested, and abiding love; by the heart and by the bowels of the Saviour's compassion, we conjure you turn not away as though it were nothing to you; but believe on him and you shall be saved. Trust your soul with him and he will bring you to his Father's right hand in glory everlasting.

Evening

"I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some."
1 Corinthians 9:22

Paul's great object was not merely to instruct and to improve, but to save. Anything short of this would have disappointed him; he would have men renewed in heart, forgiven, sanctified, in fact, saved. Have our Christian labours been aimed at anything below this great point? Then let us amend our ways, for of what avail will it be at the last great day to have taught and moralized men if they appear before God unsaved? Blood-red will our skirts be if through life we have sought inferior objects, and forgotten that men needed to be saved. Paul knew the ruin of man's natural state, and did not try to educate him, but to save him; he saw men sinking to hell, and did not talk of refining them, but of saving from the wrath to come. To compass their salvation, he gave himself up with untiring zeal to telling abroad the gospel, to warning and beseeching men to be reconciled to God. His prayers were importunate and his labours incessant. To save souls was his consuming passion, his ambition, his calling. He became a servant to all men, toiling for his race, feeling a woe within him if he preached not the gospel. He laid aside his preferences to prevent prejudice; he submitted his will in things indifferent, and if men would but receive the gospel, he raised no questions about forms or ceremonies: the gospel was the one all-important business with him. If he might save some he would be content. This was the crown for which he strove, the sole and sufficient reward of all his labours and self-denials. Dear reader, have you and I lived to win souls at this noble rate? Are we possessed with the same all-absorbing desire? If not, why not? Jesus died for sinners, cannot we live for them? Where is our tenderness? Where our love to Christ, if we seek not his honour in the salvation of men? O that the Lord would saturate us through and through with an undying zeal for the souls of men.

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.

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)
