Tue 4th January 2022 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
Democrats aware they are failing, but no policy change
Dr Robert Malone censored by anti science lobby
Prayer for new year, new projects

Today is a big day for

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?

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?

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?  

=== From 2018 ===
Don't give up on hope. Victoria can be a modern state with a lean government making excellent decision that benefit her people. We just need to get rid of Dan Andrews and install Matthew Guy. On every issue Victorians care about, be it crime, cost of living, Infrastructure, or a thriving volunteer culture, the answer is to ditch the Dan Andrews government and install Matthew Guy. 

Problematically, Malcolm Turnbull is sucking oxygen away from state Liberals. Turnbull needs to keep promoting himself or be turfed. Turnbull should have been dumped after an abysmal showing at the Bennelong By Election. But the bedwetters are holding on in the hopes that holding to an awful leader will impress voters as ALP face by elections. Who is worse for Australia, Turnbull or Shorten? Turnbull is offering a 19 year old failed campaign on a referendum on a republic. The model to be used is the awful divisive campaign Turnbull hashed over SSM. And like SSM, opposition to a republic won't be given money or government support. But Turnbull needs to move forward. Otherwise Turnbull looks like he is dithering while he dithers. 

The movie Network with Peter Finch and Faye Dunaway is outstanding for illustrating a faithless view of the world. A world without God is a world in need of God. Full credit to the actors for portraying the Director's vision. It is also a writer's tour de force. Today's movies tend to multiple writers covering all dimensions, but in Network, only the sick left wing view of society is shown. God is invisible and people of faith have no vision and people of vision have no faith. I have seen a child preacher praising God with the same passion as Finch's Beale character, but the difference being the child had faith while Finch's character had nihilism. Because although a faithful person's exposition can sound absurd, it can be understood by the faithful, exactly as left winger's get nihilism. 
=== from 2016 ===
The December IPA Review is out and Daniel Wild wrote “Smothered by Nostalgia” on Yuval Levin’s “The fractured republic” about USA post Brexit. USA is divided into two camps looking back with nostalgia to times that will never come again. The thesis holds that the US right-wing long for the glory days of 1951 or 1979. The left look for 1965. According to thesis, USA is both very big government and very individualised without mediation of institutional assets that used to bridge the gap: Religion; Family; and extended community. It is a libertarian argument that is a straw dog covering a need for libertarianism. No sane right winger dreams of the glory days where a clapped out and corrupt Truman administration is just going to lose an election, or when a corrupt and clueless Carter is going to lose after one term. They want a few years after when Eisenhower was instituting the roads plan and on path to a crushing agenda setting win, or when Reagan would set USA on course to be the sole superpower. I’m not sure left wingers dream of the post assassination JFK days when Democrats hired a killer of MLK. But I can’t always be sure about the left. The USA has always been in terrible shape after a Democrat incumbency. Democrats attack cultural assets, they have to to set their agenda. There are many GOP who are disappointed with Trump. But Trump heads the GOP and will lead it. America is going to be very big soon, and her government is going to shrink big. That doesn’t mean we need libertarian ideals. And when Trump is successful, it won’t mean libertarians ‘won.’

An interesting side thought from the Wild article is to do with mediating government to the individual. It sounds like a totalitarian's dream. I called a mediating authority regarding busses on New Years Eve and they lied to me. Busses had been diverted from a bus stop as a planned mistake. They didn’t admit that, just saying nothing was wrong and they didn’t know what was happening. I had another similar experience post election when I contacted another mediating authority about pro-ALP election signs inappropriately placed. They lied for the ALP to cover them against liability. The very mechanism proposed is an apology for big government and corruption, something libertarians claim to oppose. Yet libertarians often seem to embrace their shadow. Maybe the extreme left is the god child of the libertarian after all. Conservatism is simply not that monolithic. Libertarians cannot become conservative merely by saying it is defined that way.


There is discussion on the Bolt Report Supporter's Group regarding trolls. Trolls are really easy to deal with when recognised. But members of the group are demanding that the trolls be booted. But booting is not the way of this group's administration. We do boot, and have blocked 3121 accounts and have 27,572 members. Many of the blocked accounts are accounts that were created to join this forum to be disruptive. Some just asked to be booted after they didn't know how to leave. It isn't admin's job to make sure you have a safe space to get along. You can defend yourself by blocking if you will. Please don't ask us to boot people because you think others need to be protected. As for one particular troll, allegedly a former ABC radio entity that allegedly retired to live in France. We don't know anything about who someone is by an account. People can be confident David Daniel Ball is who he says he is because he is a public figure who has run for federal, state and local elections and has verifiable public data about him. But the troll allegedly from the ABC tossing around opinions may merely be a jihadi sympathising taxi driver who failed to get two of his 'wives' recognised by Centrelink and has had to call them daughters instead. To deal with it, argue only on discussion topics. I promise you you will win. It will not address basic facts. It will throw up straw dogs. For example, it might say Shorten has not been convicted of a crime. Which is a reasonable statement. However, Shorten has never been demonstrated to be competent either. Name something Shorten has done that was good. Was achieving the second worst support for the ALP since WW2 (after Rudd's failure) a successful achievement? Even though he was only faced with the worst Liberal leader and deputy in the party's history?
=== from 2015 ===
Bad administration dithers. In the ancient sense of the word, to dither is tremble. It is a reaction, not controlled by thought or purpose. Malcolm Turnbull has an opportunity to give unions the leadership they deserve, and prevent the widespread endemic corruption which has sustained the ALP for decades. But will he do it? Maybe the union members want corrupt leadership? Maybe the poorest workers of the land want to be exploited by corrupt overlords. It is hard for Turnbull to know what to do. Maybe if Turnbull acts he will be criticised. The words used by the ALP in defence of corruption sound mean and strong. Turnbull promised to explain his actions. He never promised to explain inaction. Maybe an April election will save him from making a decision. Malcolm needs to look decisive. If only there was an issue that he could be decisive with and look good. 

For some, at the moment, the Sex Party has more credibility.
From 2014
The Greste case has changed direction with an Egyptian court giving him a retrial. They have decided that some of the evidence leading to his conviction of propaganda favouring the Muslim Brotherhood included personal photos and reports from other news agencies. Those pictures and reports were salient to his his guilt of propagandising .. he had been present in places where he misleading reported what was not news. But the charge resting specifically to him has been decided to be only for those reports he made with his news organisation. The problem is that news organisations have been lying in the Middle East for a long time. The world is ignorant of Israeli affairs, even as it is widely reported, for many reasons, which at times looks anti semitic. And so Greste doesn't have much room to stand, even as he has worked with good intentions. In Australia, unprofessionalism is accepted in journalism. But in Egypt people are upset that press lies have gotten people killed. Greste does not deserve the persecution. But he doesn't deserve to be called a journalist either. It is similar to a soldier who retires and takes up service with a third party security organisation. He is exposed and professionally compromised. He should be sent home. But then so should Jonathan Pollard. And while Egypt is faced with a question of statesmanship, so is the US. 

A bad ALP government tried to control the economy and superheated it, resulting in interest rates for home loans approaching twenty percent, resulting in real wage cuts of over twenty four percent over twelve years, resulting in shifting control of superannuation from responsible bodies to corrupt unions. That was a better government to the last ALP government which, over six years, trashed the Australian economy and left a debt legacy that our children will struggle to pay. The ALP is blocking needed reform which would address their irresponsible government activity. Shorten has made promises on becoming leader of how he would behave. He claimed he would make decisions based on national interest. But he hasn't. He has caved into populism. In the short term, he is getting kudos for strangling the government in the senate. But that will be shown to be illusory as an election nears when even the independents who vote ALP will risk voting to be reelected instead. Shorten has offered no alternatives to the policy he has blocked. He hasn't negotiated. Just as he failed to address Gillard's corrupt support for Slipper by declaring he hadn't heard what Gillard had said, he supported it, before knifing her and installing Rudd, Shorten again fails to act responsibly, preferring to hope that press kudos will cover up his policy free agenda. 


There is a reason why big spending ALP is policy free. It has to do with their electorates which are welfare rich zones of poverty. And if ALP government had its' way, everyone would be poor. According to journalists who are partisan in following the ALP, the reason why AirAsia flight 8501 crashed was global warming. The fact is it is safer to fly now than in previous years and fewer storms, so, how did global warming do the deed? France had fewer New Year car-b-ques than in previous years. Possibly because many of the responsible youths are playing in ISIL territory this year. Or, possibly because Gaia was wrath-ing upon an airplane instead. Sad, because the ALP could have really cornered those youth votes. 
From 2013
Over regulation seems to have had a driver fined with travelling 1 km/h over the limit. Their fine was quashed on examination. What would have happened had the conscientious police man not tried to match speed? What accident might have resulted at 61, which would not have happened at 60? What if drivers decided collectively they couldn't travel at the limit, but slower than the limit? It happened in Queensland, so maybe there was more to it. Maybe 'Butch' Cassidy worked for Clive Palmer and was trying to escape a ravenous dinosaur? I know what I dread more. 

A prominent former cricketer on ABC1 assures the viewer in a pre show advert that he would run through brick walls if Ricky Ponting had asked him. Neither play for Australia anymore, but it is doubtful the athletic achievement of running through brick walls would have done much for either career outside of a circus. Not even Gillard could have used that type of loyalty. But it is probable she demanded it. But it is that kind of loyalty which impresses about AGW believers. And one can only imagine what those brick walls have done to their minds. Al Gore has not helped those researchers stuck on ice, who will be unable to report on the warming world because they are stuck on ice. As is their rescuers. One thing is certain, it isn't leftists picking up the rubbish once the ship moves on.

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, Matthew 3

John the Baptist Prepares the Way

In those days John the Baptist came, preaching in the wilderness of Judea and saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.” This is he who was spoken of through the prophet Isaiah:

“A voice of one calling in the wilderness,
‘Prepare the way for the Lord,
    make straight paths for him.’”

John’s clothes were made of camel’s hair, and he had a leather belt around his waist. His food was locusts and wild honey. People went out to him from Jerusalem and all Judea and the whole region of the Jordan. Confessing their sins, they were baptized by him in the Jordan River.

But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to where he was baptizing, he said to them: “You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath? Produce fruit in keeping with repentance. And do not think you can say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham. The ax is already at the root of the trees, and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.

“I baptize you with water for repentance. But after me comes one who is more powerful than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will clear his threshing floor, gathering his wheat into the barn and burning up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”

The Baptism of Jesus

Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptized by John. But John tried to deter him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?”

Jesus replied, “Let it be so now; it is proper for us to do this to fulfill all righteousness.” Then John consented.

As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting on him. And a voice from heaven said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.”

Here is a video I made Too-Ra-Loo-Ra-Loo-Ral (That's an Irish Lullaby)
"Too-Ra-Loo-Ra-Loo-Ral (That's an Irish Lullaby)" is a classic Irish song originally written in 1914 by composer James Royce Shannon (1881-1946) and popularised by Bing Crosby in 1944's Going My Way.

=== From 2021 ===

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. 

https://rumble.com/vc596d-editorial-thu-24th-december-2020-current-affairs.html

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?

=== From 2018 ===
Don't give up on hope. In USA people want peace and an end to bickering and hardship. In many ways, Trump is delivering. But the allegations of a shadow state which is opposing GOP administration seems to be true. Trump is apparently being investigated by the FBI over Clinton doing a corrupt deal with Russia over uranium. Or after rogue British and Russian intelligence agencies were tasked by Clinton to muckrake. 

In Australia the idea of a shadow state is as pernicious. One might think it simple to address crime in Victoria. The judiciary is weak and the laws are awful, but the police are ok. In NSW crime is not as bad. A serious problem is youth crime among refugees, including Sudanese community. A number of so called spokespeople have excused crimes saying "it is Australia's fault" and the "Community is peaceful at home." One spokesperson for the Sudanese community is Richard Deng. Richard claims he is not a member of the ALP. Richard is allegedly a member of "African Friends of Labor" which is a branch of the ALP. Richard was invited to a Christmas party with Bill Shorten. Only influence peddlers of high standing get that close contact with senior ALP members. Richard claims he is merely trying to represent his community. A year ago (Feb 21), Deng was reported saying "These kids are just lost … they’ve been out of the community too long – they just need support and hope.”" 

To 3AW, on FB, Deng writes "If you don't respect your society, the society will not respect you back. I call on all community sub community leaders across Victoria to help us and VicPol to stamp out those who do not care about our community's reputation. It has been difficult to help those who are not willing to be supported. I made it very clear today during my interview with 3AW Radio that we don't support or condone criminals in our community so that wider community can hear it. It's time to say enough is enough to this thugs who cannot understand the demage they have caused to our community's image."

But now Deng attacks the Prime Minister and federal government when they aren't this problem. The only real solution, at the moment, is to make Matthew Guy Premier at the end of this year. Because Guy has policies which address these issues. 

We are getting numerous accounts of youth gangs who are out of control with vandalism, theft, assault and killing. Yet we hear apologists say the problem is too hard, when it isn't elsewhere. Deng gave support to Shorten and Victoria's ALP government. However, it is ALP laws and regulations that prevent police effectively dealing with the issue. Activist judges have placed dangerous thugs on the streets after they have been caught involved with adult crime of a serious nature. It is worth noting some things. Incarceration does not mean that criminals cannot be reformed, in fact that can be a pathway to reform. It is not cultural anywhere to thieve, vandalise or murder. 

Deng does not like me, and has decided not to listen to me. However, I challenge Richard Deng to stand before his own community young and explain to them that they should be proud of their Sudanese heritage and should be hopeful for their Australian future. He needs to disown the separatist elements that vandalise and kill in the mistaken belief that being Sudanese means they cannot be Australian.

The December IPA Review is out and Sinclair Davidson has written "Natural Resistance" about Calestous Juma's "Innovation and its' enemies."In 1860 the French government asked for a substitute for butter which was expensive. At the same time, in the US, dairy markets expanded through cheap transport. So when margarine was invented, it solved a need, but the market put political pressure to have it not displace butter. So politicians did things to regulate margarine, like plain packaging and even colouring it unpleasantly. Similar to when the ALP introduced plain packaging for cigarettes. It must have worked, because butter is still around today. Often, government regulation is the enemy off innovation. Often so as to protect vested interests. Governments rarely innovate well. For example, NBN doesn't connect Australia when it could, because it is fixated on one expensive technology instead of a range that is more appropriate. Compare railroads in Australia with those of the US. Governments made Australian ones. Including different Australian states using different gauge tracks. 

The Liberal Party in Australia is conservative, not like the left wing monolith of the ALP. So Liberal party members have a range of opinions and skills they bring to office, not just being hack labor lawyers. Two worth examining are Cory Bernardi and George Christensen. Christensen in a QLD LNP member and former journalist. He is a 3rd generation sugarcane farmer from Mackay. Christensen has been outspoken on issues, supporting the concept of a death penalty for some crimes, calling to repeal the bullying safe school policy and opposing AGW hysteria and Islamic terrorism. Cory Bernardi is a South Australian Senator for the Liberal Party. Cory's dad was an Italian migrant who came to Australia in 1958. Cory is an accomplished athlete. Cory is Roman Catholic and has spoken out on matters of faith that need defending. Cory has started a conservative think tank, which is needed and could potentially do for conservatives what the IPA does for Libertarians. Only, some people are hoping that Cory's conservatives split the Liberal party because Turnbull is awful and won't walk and because Shorten is awful and needs help.

This year Obama won't win the white house and hopefully, in Arizona, Alex Meluskey gets into Congress. US needs a flat tax and the world will benefit from it. Instead of tax lawyers doing the work of common people, we need people to have ownership of their future, and that means smaller government and simpler, fairer tax laws. And it looks like the pragmatic Trump will be an obstacle to that. Trump says many words, some fine, but the people with follow through, like Ted Cruz, are the ones the US needs. Calvin Coolidge is the model to follow. Some may like the secrecy of Carter's corrupt administration, or Clinton. Where affairs of state were mixed with ordinary affairs disgracefully. Where an ignorant US people voted in a President who gave WMD to Saddam Hussein. Or when a President desperate to be remembered sparked a second intifada. Hoover was not natural politician and got walked over by his Dem opponents. We don't want Trump to fail the same way. We don't want Hillary. 

For some, at the moment, the Sex Party has more credibility.
=== from 2015 ===
The ALP wants an enormous public service. And the public service likes to splurge public money. And the ALP likes to complain about the splurging of those public servants too. And the press let the ALP have it each way, depending on what is temporarily useful for them. And then conservative commentators suggest that the LNP is divided because they have internal debate about issues. Mr Abbott can be criticised for choices he makes, but the criticism should be balanced. It isn't balanced to criticise merely for the sake of balance. The LNP has a lot of talent, and many have a lot of ambition. To compare them with the ALP where over ambition is not matched by talent, is to not compare like. 

Sometimes it takes a long time for a lefty to see the truth. Like the anarchist bombings of the late 1800's being similar to terrorism today. But somewhere in the brain of the lefty, it can look like one justifies the other. 


Richard Flanagan was lauded by Mr Abbott. But Michael Hoffman sees through Flanagan's cheap prose. Mr Abbott is a far better PM than a literary critic. To be fair, Flanagan has chosen a side and a tribe and is incapable of the empathy required to see further. But Flanagan's myopic offering is impressive. 


The racist 'we' applied by Oprah Winfrey to race issues is fashionable but ultimately divisive. Race is not a cultural asset of a progressive society. Instead, it would be better for Oprah to describe the examples of what falls short of racism as not being racist. She should not bemoan the lack of leadership over the issue when the examples don't support the issue. The reason why she hasn't shown leadership is because the examples haven't warranted it. If the examples aren't fitting the allegation, then they aren't good examples.

The fatwah placed on archaeology is something that Islamic leaders need to address. Otherwise the destruction of archaeology by ISIL and related jihadists will get worse. Already priceless artefacts are gone forever and learning opportunities regarding the world's past are lost. 

A slight decline in car-b-ques on NYE in France seems related to the boys joining ISIL. Still way too many when it happens to one car. The vandalism should not be sanctioned by Islam, and if it is the activity of jihadists then it should be declared such by Islamists.

An irresponsible leftwing government in Italy has initiated a rising tide of desperate boat people and people smugglers. Typically, many boat people are dying from the left wing compassion. By failing to acknowledge the deaths of such people, we fail to acknowledge the work of the worst serial killers of our times. The ones who kill compassionately with a pen and a bad policy. 
From 2014
The year 2013 has been labelled by AGW advocates as the hottest ever. I say they are lying. I can point to record cold spells, which those paid advocates claim is merely weather, not climate. The assertion is true as far as it goes, but the definition of climate precludes change. So, by referring to climate change, AGW advocates are referring to the same thing science fiction writers refer to when they oscillate the manifold projectors in the forward section of their space ship, or when they reverse the polarity of the manifolds (fyi, the forward manifold of a ship is probably better known as a section of a hull, as would be a rear manifold or side manifolds). This highlights the biggest issue of AGW alarmism, that it is not a scientific theory which can be measured and falsified, but a mantra related to religious spiritual assertion. Consider, what would be a disproof of AGW alarmism? If nothing could disprove it, it is not falsifiable, and therefore not a scientific theory. 

So AGW alarmists are locked in an ice bound ship in the middle of summer. They announced their journey over a month in advance, purposed as to measure thinning ice in the Antarctic in summer. It was to be analogous to thinning ice in the North Pole, but it is different, as Antarctica is land, not water. But the world is not heating as AGW alarmists would have people believe. The world is still coming out of the last ice age, but the cold weather events are not explained by their models, while hot weather events are. 


Australian media claimed the journey was proof that AGW claims are real. But when they became ice locked, media described the journey as mere tourism and those trapped as tourists. Note well, there is a heat wave in Australia at the moment. It is summer. The dry central lands get very hot during the day and the heat dissipates by going out to sea, on the East coast. The heat waves could be ended with a Bradfield scheme to flood central Australia, and has nothing to do with Global Warming.

Genesis 7

1 The LORD then said to Noah, “Go into the ark, you and your whole family, because I have found you righteous in this generation. 2 Take with you seven pairs of every kind of clean animal, a male and its mate, and one pair of every kind of unclean animal, a male and its mate, 3 and also seven pairs of every kind of bird, male and female, to keep their various kinds alive throughout the earth. 4 Seven days from now I will send rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights, and I will wipe from the face of the earth every living creature I have made.”
5 And Noah did all that the LORD commanded him.
6 Noah was six hundred years old when the floodwaters came on the earth. 7 And Noah and his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives entered the ark to escape the waters of the flood. 8Pairs of clean and unclean animals, of birds and of all creatures that move along the ground, 9 male and female, came to Noah and entered the ark, as God had commanded Noah. 10 And after the seven days the floodwaters came on the earth.
11 In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, on the seventeenth day of the second month—on that day all the springs of the great deep burst forth, and the floodgates of the heavens were opened. 12 And rain fell on the earth forty days and forty nights.
13 On that very day Noah and his sons, Shem, Ham and Japheth, together with his wife and the wives of his three sons, entered the ark. 14 They had with them every wild animal according to its kind, all livestock according to their kinds, every creature that moves along the ground according to its kind and every bird according to its kind, everything with wings.15 Pairs of all creatures that have the breath of life in them came to Noah and entered the ark. 16 The animals going in were male and female of every living thing, as God had commanded Noah. Then the LORD shut him in.
17 For forty days the flood kept coming on the earth, and as the waters increased they lifted the ark high above the earth. 18The waters rose and increased greatly on the earth, and the ark floated on the surface of the water. 19 They rose greatly on the earth, and all the high mountains under the entire heavens were covered. 20 The waters rose and covered the mountains to a depth of more than fifteen cubits. 21 Every living thing that moved on land perished—birds, livestock, wild animals, all the creatures that swarm over the earth, and all mankind. 22Everything on dry land that had the breath of life in its nostrils died. 23 Every living thing on the face of the earth was wiped out; people and animals and the creatures that move along the ground and the birds were wiped from the earth. Only Noah was left, and those with him in the ark.
24 The waters flooded the earth for a hundred and fifty days.

Genesis 8

1 But God remembered Noah and all the wild animals and the livestock that were with him in the ark, and he sent a wind over the earth, and the waters receded. 2 Now the springs of the deep and the floodgates of the heavens had been closed, and the rain had stopped falling from the sky. 3 The water receded steadily from the earth. At the end of the hundred and fifty days the water had gone down, 4 and on the seventeenth day of the seventh month the ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat.5 The waters continued to recede until the tenth month, and on the first day of the tenth month the tops of the mountains became visible.
6 After forty days Noah opened a window he had made in the ark 7 and sent out a raven, and it kept flying back and forth until the water had dried up from the earth. 8 Then he sent out a dove to see if the water had receded from the surface of the ground. 9 But the dove could find nowhere to perch because there was water over all the surface of the earth; so it returned to Noah in the ark. He reached out his hand and took the dove and brought it back to himself in the ark. 10 He waited seven more days and again sent out the dove from the ark. 11 When the dove returned to him in the evening, there in its beak was a freshly plucked olive leaf! Then Noah knew that the water had receded from the earth. 12 He waited seven more days and sent the dove out again, but this time it did not return to him.
13 By the first day of the first month of Noah’s six hundred and first year, the water had dried up from the earth. Noah then removed the covering from the ark and saw that the surface of the ground was dry. 14 By the twenty-seventh day of the second month the earth was completely dry.
15 Then God said to Noah, 16 “Come out of the ark, you and your wife and your sons and their wives. 17 Bring out every kind of living creature that is with you—the birds, the animals, and all the creatures that move along the ground—so they can multiply on the earth and be fruitful and increase in number on it.”
18 So Noah came out, together with his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives. 19 All the animals and all the creatures that move along the ground and all the birds—everything that moves on land—came out of the ark, one kind after another.
20 Then Noah built an altar to the LORD and, taking some of all the clean animals and clean birds, he sacrificed burnt offerings on it. 21 The LORD smelled the pleasing aroma and said in his heart: “Never again will I curse the ground because of humans, even though every inclination of the human heart is evil from childhood. And never again will I destroy all living creatures, as I have done.
22 “As long as the earth endures,
seedtime and harvest,
cold and heat,
summer and winter,
day and night
will never cease.”

Genesis 9

God’s Covenant With Noah
1 Then God blessed Noah and his sons, saying to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the earth. 2 The fear and dread of you will fall on all the beasts of the earth, and on all the birds in the sky, on every creature that moves along the ground, and on all the fish in the sea; they are given into your hands. 3 Everything that lives and moves about will be food for you. Just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you everything.
4 “But you must not eat meat that has its lifeblood still in it. 5And for your lifeblood I will surely demand an accounting. I will demand an accounting from every animal. And from each human being, too, I will demand an accounting for the life of another human being.
6 “Whoever sheds human blood,
by humans shall their blood be shed;
for in the image of God
has God made mankind.
7 As for you, be fruitful and increase in number; multiply on the earth and increase upon it.”
8 Then God said to Noah and to his sons with him: 9 “I now establish my covenant with you and with your descendants after you 10 and with every living creature that was with you—the birds, the livestock and all the wild animals, all those that came out of the ark with you—every living creature on earth. 11I establish my covenant with you: Never again will all life be destroyed by the waters of a flood; never again will there be a flood to destroy the earth.”
12 And God said, “This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come: 13 I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth. 14 Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds, 15 I will remember my covenant between me and you and all living creatures of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life. 16 Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth.”
17 So God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant I have established between me and all life on the earth.”
The Sons of Noah
18 The sons of Noah who came out of the ark were Shem, Ham and Japheth. (Ham was the father of Canaan.) 19These were the three sons of Noah, and from them came the people who were scattered over the whole earth.
20 Noah, a man of the soil, proceeded to plant a vineyard. 21When he drank some of its wine, he became drunk and lay uncovered inside his tent. 22 Ham, the father of Canaan, saw his father naked and told his two brothers outside. 23 But Shem and Japheth took a garment and laid it across their shoulders; then they walked in backward and covered their father’s naked body. Their faces were turned the other way so that they would not see their father naked.
24 When Noah awoke from his wine and found out what his youngest son had done to him, 25 he said,
“Cursed be Canaan!
The lowest of slaves
will he be to his brothers.”
26 He also said,
“Praise be to the LORD, the God of Shem!
May Canaan be the slave of Shem.
27 May God extend Japheth’s territory;
may Japheth live in the tents of Shem,
and may Canaan be the slave of Japheth.”
28 After the flood Noah lived 350 years. 29 Noah lived a total of 950 years, and then he died.

Matthew 3

John the Baptist Prepares the Way
1 In those days John the Baptist came, preaching in the wilderness of Judea 2 and saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.” 3 This is he who was spoken of through the prophet Isaiah:
“A voice of one calling in the wilderness,
‘Prepare the way for the Lord,
make straight paths for him.’”
John’s clothes were made of camel’s hair, and he had a leather belt around his waist. His food was locusts and wild honey. 5 People went out to him from Jerusalem and all Judea and the whole region of the Jordan. 6 Confessing their sins, they were baptized by him in the Jordan River.
7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to where he was baptizing, he said to them: “You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath? 8Produce fruit in keeping with repentance. 9 And do not think you can say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham. 10 The ax is already at the root of the trees, and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.
11 “I baptize you with water for repentance. But after me comes one who is more powerful than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. 12 His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will clear his threshing floor, gathering his wheat into the barn and burning up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”
The Baptism of Jesus
13 Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptized by John. 14 But John tried to deter him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?”
15 Jesus replied, “Let it be so now; it is proper for us to do this to fulfill all righteousness.” Then John consented.

16 As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting on him. 17And a voice from heaven said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.”

Morning

"I will give thee for a covenant of the people."
Isaiah 49:8
Jesus Christ is himself the sum and substance of the covenant, and as one of its gifts. He is the property of every believer. Believer, canst thou estimate what thou hast gotten in Christ? "In him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily." Consider that word "God" and its infinity, and then meditate upon "perfect man" and all his beauty; for all that Christ, as God and man, ever had, or can have, is thine--out of pure free favour, passed over to thee to be thine entailed property forever. Our blessed Jesus, as God, is omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent. Will it not console you to know that all these great and glorious attributes are altogether yours? Has he power? That power is yours to support and strengthen you, to overcome your enemies, and to preserve you even to the end. Has he love? Well, there is not a drop of love in his heart which is not yours; you may dive into the immense ocean of his love, and you may say of it all, "It is mine." Hath he justice? It may seem a stern attribute, but even that is yours, for he will by his justice see to it that all which is promised to you in the covenant of grace shall be most certainly secured to you. And all that he has as perfect man is yours. As a perfect man the Father's delight was upon him. He stood accepted by the Most High. O believer, God's acceptance of Christ is thine acceptance; for knowest thou not that the love which the Father set on a perfect Christ, he sets on thee now? For all that Christ did is thine. That perfect righteousness which Jesus wrought out, when through his stainless life he kept the law and made it honourable, is thine, and is imputed to thee. Christ is in the covenant.
"My God, I am thine--what a comfort divine!
What a blessing to know that the Saviour is mine!
In the heavenly Lamb thrice happy I am,
And my heart it doth dance at the sound of his name."

Evening

"The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight."
Luke 3:4
The voice crying in the wilderness demanded a way for the Lord, a way prepared, and a way prepared in the wilderness. I would be attentive to the Master's proclamation, and give him a road into my heart, cast up by gracious operations, through the desert of my nature. The four directions in the text must have my serious attention.
Every valley must be exalted. Low and grovelling thoughts of God must be given up; doubting and despairing must be removed; and self-seeking and carnal delights must be forsaken. Across these deep valleys a glorious causeway of grace must be raised.
Every mountain and hill shall be laid low. Proud creature-sufficiency, and boastful self-righteousness, must be levelled, to make a highway for the King of kings. Divine fellowship is never vouchsafed to haughty, highminded sinners. The Lord hath respect unto the lowly, and visits the contrite in heart, but the lofty are an abomination unto him. My soul, beseech the Holy Spirit to set thee right in this respect.
The crooked shall be made straight. The wavering heart must have a straight path of decision for God and holiness marked out for it. Double-minded men are strangers to the God of truth. My soul, take heed that thou be in all things honest and true, as in the sight of the heart-searching God.

The rough places shall be made smooth. Stumbling-blocks of sin must be removed, and thorns and briers of rebellion must be uprooted. So great a visitor must not find miry ways and stony places when he comes to honour his favoured ones with his company. Oh that this evening the Lord may find in my heart a highway made ready by his grace, that he may make a triumphal progress through the utmost bounds of my soul, from the beginning of this year even to the end of it.

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)
