Sat 13th March 2021 Current Affairs

In 2018 I posted a video I'd made for FB, titled 'a moving heart.' I'd posted over a hundred personal videos there, thousands of personal pictures and memorials for friends past, as well as hopes for the future. Soon after January 6th, Facebook blocked me and so now I cannot access any of my personal items. I cannot use the FB app to access any other app that uses it as ID. FB has given me no specific reason as to why they blocked me, saying that my previous 'transgressions' they had clocked meant I was not a good FB citizen. I'm not a bad citizen. I'm gracious and kind. I'm not given to profanity or abuse. However, I vigorously oppose AGW alarmism, and that transgresses some FB political 'facts'. Similarly, I oppose irrational COVID statements which also transgress FB's political position. FB are not supposed to censor me for politics. I'm conservative, not radical. I don't endorse violence. 

However, FB endorses violence for political reasons. FB has no problem cheering illegal immigrants to death as weak borders claim hundreds of thousands of lives of the poor and desperate. FB endorses racism and violence surrounding race. They allow extremist right wing and left wing groups to espouse hatred, including anti semitism.  FB has claimed such abuse is within their community standard. FB allows and promotes sexual degradation. They allow an exposed breast, but not a baby feeding. FB was part of a cabal promoting Biden for President from his garage, and cheating the 2020 Presidential election. I was blocked from Twitter circa 2015 for writing that Obama should face justice and be hanged. Need I point to the threats Twitter has posted regarding Trump, since? Note well, I did not call for any violence against Obama. In a fair world, neither FB nor Twitter would have blocked me. 

Remember when progressives opposed racism?

Joe Biden used his first national address to blast out fake news and take cheap shots at Trump. Also, what would war with China look like? I discuss a troubling article which lays out the details. Finally, I address some good news on the foreign policy front.

Here is a video I made Botany Bay 

Botany Bay is a song from the musical burlesque, Little Jack Sheppard, a comedy staged in London, England in 1885 and Melbourne, Australia in 1886. The show was written by Henry Pottinger Stephens and William Yardley, though the music for "Botany Bay" was written by Florian Pascal, a pseudonym for Joseph Williams, Jr. (1847-1923), a music publisher and composer. The song shares two verses with Fairwell to Judges and Juries which had been performed in 1820.
Botany Bay was the designated settlement for the first fleet when it arrived in Australia in the eighteenth century. It was a settlement intended for the transport of convicts to Australia. The song describes the period in the late late 18th and 19th centuries, when British convicts were deported to the various Australian penal colonies by the British government for seven-year terms as an alternative to incarceration in Britain. The second verse is about life on the convict ships, and the last verse is directed to English girls and boys as warning not to steal.
After the production of Little Jack Sheppard, the song became a popular folk song and has been sung and recorded by Irish folk singers, Burl Ives, and many others. It is played as a children's song on compilations, particularly in Australia.

The song is referenced in many documentaries researching the transport of convicts to Australia, a practice that had ceased before the song was made

I'm sure most can sing it better, and Burl Ives is great. I can't seem to find his version. 

listen2meokidoki4 years ago
Nicely sung. But I think I can sing it better, alone of course. Now in finding you (this video) which I listened all through to, I've found Burl Ives recorded the song, And although I can't recall ever-erer hearing it, I've decided it I most likely prefer-erer.

Don't give up on hope. Trump has an agenda which will settle the Middle East with peace for Israel. Tillerson did not fully get it, and so the Secretary of State was fired. By tweet. The Secretary of State who called Trump a moron does not yet understand why he was fired. But the Trump agenda will not be complete until there is peace for Israel. 

UK discovers their Labour government tolerated child sex abuse by protected migrants who identify with radical Islam. Victims of the abuse were dismissed as prostitutes. When will Labour reform?

Malcolm Turnbull fights to be labelled the worst PM of the Liberals. His coup against Abbott was justified by his undermining of Abbott. But now Turnbull is undermining himself. And Turnbull can't help himself. One Turnbull team appointment from WA is undermining the Vic Liberal campaign as director. Matthew Guy had been a shoe in to replace the incompetent Dan Andrews. If Turnbull has his way, Guy will be so compromised that he will replace the incompetent Dan Andrews, and not be the great successor to Kennett Victoria needs.

Election promises from WA Libs. The press said they were tired and old. So they rejected these without considering them. ALP even copied some. Keep in mind the Liberal Party promises were costed and responsible.

=== from 2016 ===
Miranda Devine was wrong to trash Mr Abbott and promote Mr Turnbull through inflations of incompetence regarding Abbott's office. She was wrong to claim the validity of knighthood was a mistake. She was wrong to claim that criticism of the Abbott government's communication was poor. Mr Abbott's government was stymied by independents and Palmer in an unanticipated way, but he had done a lot to overcome that. Mr Abbott's government was one of many Liberal administrations undermined by Turnbull. Devine myopically ignores that. But the obvious reality is there has to be movement forward, and Turnbull must be kept to task of good government. Turnbull does not have good ideas, as Miranda suggests. Just like last time, Turnbull is stymied by fear. He is the worst Liberal PM since McMahon. But even so, Shorten is worse again. 

For some, at the moment, the Sex Party has more credibility. 
=== from 2015 ===
ALP leader Bill Shorten has said some things which have no bearing in reality. His attack on Mr Abbott, declaring “Tony Abbott is a prime minister stuck in the 1950s. He says he’s the prime minister for indigenous Australians but he just wants to move them off their land.” is offensive as it is wrong. The truth is Mr Abbott supports Aboriginal peoples even openly embracing dumb polarising changes to the constitution at the expense of conservative support. Shorten is not merely on a different planet when considering Mr Abbott, but also his industrial relations policy and immigration policy bears no relation to reality. As Jason Clare once said, it isn't compassionate to drown desperate people. As Gillard observed, work gives dignity. But Shorten would deny work to the poorest, drown many desperate to visit Australia and isolate Aboriginals desperate for hope. 

PUP imploding as Lazarus leaves. Dio Wang seems to have lost the race, being the last PUP standing. The move by Lazarus will not be good for Australia, as PUP had struck a deal with the government, agreeing not to oppose legislation. 

Australian teen terrorist suicides but fails to kill others. No virgins for him then. No westerner is going to prosper who joins ISIL. 
From 2014
The UN is not supposed to fund terrorism. But it has and does. The terrorists who hijacked an airplane in 1976 claim they were the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine. The craft was supposed to go from Athens to Paris. The hijackers diverted the plane to Benghazi, Libya. There, one of the 246 passengers feigned a miscarriage and was released. After refuelling, the aircraft went to Entebbe, Uganda. Idi Amin was leader of Uganda at the time. Four people joined the hijackers, and the passengers were separated into non Israelis and Israelis. For some stupid reason, a justification is given on wikipedia stressing that some non Israeli Jews were released, while non Jewish Israelis remained. Apparently terrorists discriminate. 

Following the Jordanian civil war, some Jordanians called themselves Palestinian and corrupted South Lebanon, reigning rockets on Israeli sites from Lebanese territory. Forty so called Palestinians were incarcerated in Israel. Thirteen others were incarcerated in Kenya, France, Switzerland and West Germany. The hijackers at Entebbe demanded the release of those prisoners for the one hundred and six Israeli hostages. The resulting stand off lasted a week. An air France flight took the non Jewish Israelis away, except for the flight captain and crew who remained behind, and one French nun. 

The Hijacking was the 27th June. The rescue was the 4th July. Israel had negotiated with Idi Amin, who refused to help free the hostages. An elderly woman hostage was taken to a local hospital for care. Israel approved a rescue mission. Yonaton Netanyahu was in charge. Yonaton planned well, and was the only casualty for Israel in the raid. He had destroyed Ugandan fighters on the ground so they would not intercept. In retaliation Idi Amin had the hostage who was being treated in the hospital killed, along with treating staff who tried to prevent it. Yonaton died on that July 4th. But he was born on this day, 1946. Thank you Mr Netanyahu for your service.

Today's Old Testament reading: Deuteronomy 16-18


The Passover
1 Observe the month of Aviv and celebrate the Passover of the LORD your God, because in the month of Aviv he brought you out of Egypt by night. 2 Sacrifice as the Passover to the LORD your God an animal from your flock or herd at the place the LORD will choose as a dwelling for his Name. 3 Do not eat it with bread made with yeast, but for seven days eat unleavened bread, the bread of affliction, because you left Egypt in haste--so that all the days of your life you may remember the time of your departure from Egypt. 4 Let no yeast be found in your possession in all your land for seven days. Do not let any of the meat you sacrifice on the evening of the first day remain until morning.

Today's New Testament reading: Mark 13:1-20


The Destruction of the Temple and Signs of the End Times


1 As Jesus was leaving the temple, one of his disciples said to him, "Look, Teacher! What massive stones! What magnificent buildings!"
2 "Do you see all these great buildings?" replied Jesus. "Not one stone here will be left on another; every one will be thrown down."
3 As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter, James, John and Andrew asked him privately, 4"Tell us, when will these things happen? And what will be the sign that they are all about to be fulfilled?"

=== Morning and Evening ===

March 12: Morning
"Thou shalt love thy neighbour." - Matthew 5:43
"Love thy neighbour." Perhaps he rolls in riches, and thou art poor, and living in thy little cot side-by-side with his lordly mansion; thou seest every day his estates, his fine linen, and his sumptuous banquets; God has given him these gifts, covet not his wealth, and think no hard thoughts concerning him. Be content with thine own lot, if thou canst not better it, but do not look upon thy neighbour, and wish that he were as thyself. Love him, and then thou wilt not envy him.

Perhaps, on the other hand, thou art rich, and near thee reside the poor. Do not scorn to call them neighbour. Own that thou art bound to love them. The world calls them thy inferiors. In what are they inferior? They are far more thine equals than thine inferiors, for "God hath made of one blood all people that dwell upon the face of the earth." It is thy coat which is better than theirs, but thou art by no means better than they. They are men, and what art thou more than that? Take heed that thou love thy neighbour even though he be in rags, or sunken in the depths of poverty.

But, perhaps, you say, "I cannot love my neighbours, because for all I do they return ingratitude and contempt." So much the more room for the heroism of love. Wouldst thou be a feather-bed warrior, instead of bearing the rough fight of love? He who dares the most, shall win the most; and if rough be thy path of love, tread it boldly, still loving thy neighbours through thick and thin. Heap coals of fire on their heads, and if they be hard to please, seek not to please them, but to please thy Master; and remember if they spurn thy love, thy Master hath not spurned it, and thy deed is as acceptable to him as if it had been acceptable to them. Love thy neighbour, for in so doing thou art following the footsteps of Christ.
Evening
"To whom belongest thou?" - 1 Samuel 30:13
No neutralities can exist in religion. We are either ranked under the banner of Prince Immanuel, to serve and fight his battles, or we are vassals of the black prince, Satan. "To whom belongest thou?"

Reader, let me assist you in your response. Have you been "born again"? If you have, you belong to Christ, but without the new birth you cannot be his. In whom do you trust? For those who believe in Jesus are the sons of God. Whose work are you doing? You are sure to serve your master, for he whom you serve is thereby owned to be your lord. What company do you keep? If you belong to Jesus, you will fraternize with those who wear the livery of the cross. "Birds of a feather flock together." What is your conversation? Is it heavenly or is it earthly? What have you learned of your Master?--for servants learn much from their masters to whom they are apprenticed. If you have served your time with Jesus, it will be said of you, as it was of Peter and John, "They took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus."

We press the question, "To whom belongest thou?" Answer honestly before you give sleep to your eyes. If you are not Christ's you are in a hard service--Run away from your cruel master! Enter into the service of the Lord of Love, and you shall enjoy a life of blessedness. If you are Christ's let me advise you to do four things. You belong to Jesus--obey him; let his word be your law; let his wish be your will. You belong to the Beloved, then love him; let your heart embrace him; let your whole soul be filled with him. You belong to the Son of God, then trust him; rest nowhere but on him. You belong to the King of kings, then be decided for him. Thus, without your being branded upon the brow, all will know to whom you belong.

=== Message ===

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

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

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


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

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