The lockdown is not helpful in Victoria, just as it wasn't in the recent past. Exposure of a COVID virus at some 150 sites shows the virus is prevalent in the community. But, we aren't having mass deaths. The exposures are mainly asymptomatic. So long as sick people are appropriately treated, then herd immunity will kick in. Lockdowns and masks have not prevented deaths. They have not prevented spread of COVID. The ALP administration ran a quarantine which spread the virus and killed elderly whom the ALP refused appropriate treatment. And the ALP has done it again in aged care.
Meanwhile, press are savaging conservative politicians for ALP failure. Federal Minister Dan Tehan goes on a talk show and suggests those suffering under the new Victorian lockdown can approach Centrelink and is howled down by press who demand more money for Victorian victims of ALP lockdown. It is an Australian version of the Dan Bongino observation of press calls 'Conservatives pounce.' They say Conservatives heartlessly point to welfare for problems caused by the ALP. This deflects criticism from the ALP.

Just days after calling out China on Newsmax for "buying" President Joe Biden and son Hunter, former President Donald Trump warned that the United States will see its economic and world power usurped by Beijing. "We're going to be dependent on China, if he doesn't do something about it," Trump said during an appearance on Newsmax TV's "Dick Morris Democracy" in an exclusive interview. "And China's getting away with murder." [Full Story]

Don't give up on hope. Amazon has decided to not allow Australians access to their international shop once the new GST kicks in on online purchases. It is the way that tax works. The tax will not be a windfall, but a burden. I have books that I sell through Amazon. I have no choice in the matter, the books are produced overseas. Now my books will not be available in Australia in softcover. I was already disappointed that Amazon charges so much for delivery. My hope with Amazon was when they came to Australia they might also print my books locally. I don't blame Amazon.
Tommy Robinson memes continue. But because his supporters are dull, they tend to repeat. So, some posters say that police arrested TR too quickly, as if he was Rolf Harris. They argued that Harris was arrested with undue haste. Harris' victims might disagree. Others have said TR was arrested because I'm fat. Others said I didn't understand what had happened. Others said Fox agreed with them, and then pointed to non Fox sites. One wondered how I would 'no' so much. My favourite TR meme was that it was a cover up involving a threat of seven years which became thirteen months after TR plead guilty. JF wisely pointed out that if my wife got an AVO preventing me from coming within 50m, and then I "walked up to her and talked to her" but was arrested by police, then I would be as guilty as TR was, regardless of wether I raised my voice, or wasn't actually violent. TR had been told last year by a judge not to do what he plead guilty to. Maybe TR is not mentally competent?
Germaine Greer has hysterically commented on rape. Not in a funny way. Greer has applied a weakened definition of rape, applying the label to include things that are not legally called rape. Greer really is an academic. No word yet from Greer regarding TR's experience in jail.

Some things should not happen, but they do. Comedian Kathy Griffin showed a mock up of Donald Trump's decapitated head. It was just as funny as when HBO did the same for President Bush on Game of Thrones. I would not wish the same for Obama. But then I'm just a right wing conservative. Griffin apologised. Apparently it seemed ok in her head. Meanwhile tennis great Margaret Court is being savaged by left wing activists for saying she feels that marriage is between a man and woman. Court said that after facing Qantas taking her point of view for granted in campaigning for a different view. Some activists are demanding that Margaret Court stadium's name be changed, saying Court is a homophobe. But Court is the greatest female tennis player in history and her viewpoint is not homophobic, she accepts civil unions. However, Gays are murdered by the government in Saudi Arabia and yet there are no calls to rename Etihad stadium.
His names are known throughout history. Ozymandias, or Ramesses II was the greatest Pharaoh, ruling an estimated 66 years. He came to power in 1279 BC, on this day. His kingdom had been beset from North and South, but by the end, he had a hundred thousand warriors to do his bidding, and feared no one. Also on this day in 455, an over indulged Roman Emperor was stoned to death by his people while fleeing Rome. Petronius Maximus had been given great honours at a young age. In a drunken gamble with the previous Emperor, Valentinian III, Maximus had lost and given the Emperor a ring as surety. Valentinian used the ring to seduce Maximus' wife and so Maximus did the manly thing and joined with a eunuch to poison the Emperor's mind against a stalwart of the Emperor. Then he convinced friends of the dead stalwart that the emperor was responsible for the death of their friend. He then married the late emperor's widow. It all had gone so well, until he upset the Vandal king who decided to lay waste to Rome. News of the impending invasion panicked the population and two weeks before Rome fell, Maximus was stoned to death.
In 1669, claiming he was getting bad eyesight, Samuel Pepys recorded the last event in his diary. He lived well for another thirty three years, but was very busy with affairs of state. His diary is a million word account over a decade of events in London. It was published some a hundred and fifty years later. In 1813, Lawson, Blaxland and Wentworth crossed the blue mountains from Sydney. Trains are much better now.
One of the largest naval battles of all time happened on this day in 1916. The German Navy squared off against the UK at the Battle of Jutland. It was indecisive. Some 44 Battleships (28 UK), out of 250 ships in total, 151 for the UK. UK lost more, including 3 battle cruisers of 14 ships, to Germany's 1 Battle cruiser of 11 ships. UK lost over six thousand sailors lives. But UK still ruled the waves, and Germany failed to break the blockade. In 2010, Turkey encouraged a terrorist organisation, IHH, to attempt to break an Israeli blockade of Gaza. Israel's sole interest was to prevent weapons being sent to terrorists in Gaza. IHH seemed to want to send weapons there. IHH claimed the ship carried only medical supplies, but Israel had not blockaded, but facilitated the delivery of humanitarian goods. Israel sent a commando unit to prevent gun running. Some of the humanitarian IHH armed themselves and fought against the commandos. The blockade held. Later, Egypt would also blockade Palestinian terrorists and the protests ceased.

Obama recently went to Japan and failed to address the issue of a Democrat President dropping an atom bomb on a civilian population twice. But then the Nobel Peace Prize winner has form for targeted bombing of civilians. He then went to Vietnam and praised those who used terror tactics to defeat the US. In the meantime, there is an election that is being prepared for in the US. The contest is between a liar or a socialist with principles, and the GOP nominee of Trump. I might not agree with all that Trump says, but I'll support him over Hilary or Sanders any time. I know that Hilary stands for corrupt women everywhere, but let's not make gender the issue. I will not support the corrupt regardless of gender. Meanwhile in Australia, an incompetent deputy leader of the Libs, who happens to be female, was unable to enunciate party policy. But she still supports her leader, who is rumored to be a man. The Liberal Party leader says Australia is a little bit racist. Malcolm Turnbull is a little bit competent, but not the rest. Still, Turnbull is better than Shorten. Don't forget the last experiment with ALP killed 1200 who wanted to be Australians. Almost as if they were gorilla with children in a zoo.

Talk of war between the US and China is just that, and part of the new Obama method of settling foreign issues. The observation is that small nations did not get uppity during the cold war because they needed super power support of the US, China or the Soviets. So, the new policy is to recreate the cold war, giving Ukraine to Russia to act as a punching bag. Also, North Korea is forced to get close to China. Iran has not been claimed yet. A war between Russia and China is more likely over Iran. The gift of Obama foreign policy, when he is done, is peace through hysteria and weakness.
Press are hyperventilating over Gay Marriage. It takes a conservative to properly implement such legislation, otherwise religious organisations can be sued for refusing some couples. Thing is, it is outrageous that states decided who can or cannot marry. But the larger truth is a law is not a requirement. If gays marry, it doesn't mean all married people are gay. In the late '80s, an ALP Government in NSW decided that it urgently needed to regulate sex among minors. So a law was passed that allowed a two year age difference. So one fourteen year old girl prayed at a church she didn't want to have sex with other kids. And luckily, she didn't have to. There are lots of legal things that aren't done by many people.

Israel Rebels Against Rehoboam
1 Rehoboam went to Shechem, for all Israel had gone there to make him king. 2 When Jeroboam son of Nebat heard this (he was in Egypt, where he had fled from King Solomon), he returned from Egypt. 3 So they sent for Jeroboam, and he and all Israel went to Rehoboam and said to him: 4 "Your father put a heavy yoke on us, but now lighten the harsh labor and the heavy yoke he put on us, and we will serve you...."
Today's New Testament reading: John 11:30-57
30 Now Jesus had not yet entered the village, but was still at the place where Martha had met him. 31 When the Jews who had been with Mary in the house, comforting her, noticed how quickly she got up and went out, they followed her, supposing she was going to the tomb to mourn there.
32 When Mary reached the place where Jesus was and saw him, she fell at his feet and said, "Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died...."

Morning
A little thorn may cause much suffering. A little cloud may hide the sun. Little foxes spoil the vines; and little sins do mischief to the tender heart. These little sins burrow in the soul, and make it so full of that which is hateful to Christ, that he will hold no comfortable fellowship and communion with us. A great sin cannot destroy a Christian, but a little sin can make him miserable. Jesus will not walk with his people unless they drive out every known sin. He says, "If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love, even as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love." Some Christians very seldom enjoy their Saviour's presence. How is this? Surely it must be an affliction for a tender child to be separated from his father. Art thou a child of God, and yet satisfied to go on without seeing thy Father's face? What! thou the spouse of Christ, and yet content without his company! Surely, thou hast fallen into a sad state, for the chaste spouse of Christ mourns like a dove without her mate, when he has left her. Ask, then, the question, what has driven Christ from thee? He hides his face behind the wall of thy sins. That wall may be built up of little pebbles, as easily as of great stones. The sea is made of drops; the rocks are made of grains: and the sea which divides thee from Christ may be filled with the drops of thy little sins; and the rock which has well nigh wrecked thy barque, may have been made by the daily working of the coral insects of thy little sins. If thou wouldst live with Christ, and walk with Christ, and see Christ, and have fellowship with Christ, take heed of "the little foxes that spoil the vines, for our vines have tender grapes." Jesus invites you to go with him and take them. He will surely, like Samson, take the foxes at once and easily. Go with him to the hunting.
Evening
Christian, what hast thou to do with sin? Hath it not cost thee enough already? Burnt child, wilt thou play with the fire? What! when thou hast already been between the jaws of the lion, wilt thou step a second time into his den? Hast thou not had enough of the old serpent? Did he not poison all thy veins once, and wilt thou play upon the hole of the asp, and put thy hand upon the cockatrice's den a second time? Oh, be not so mad! so foolish! Did sin ever yield thee real pleasure? Didst thou find solid satisfaction in it? If so, go back to thine old drudgery, and wear the chain again, if it delight thee. But inasmuch as sin did never give thee what it promised to bestow, but deluded thee with lies, be not a second time snared by the old fowler--be free, and let the remembrance of thy ancient bondage forbid thee to enter the net again! It is contrary to the designs of eternal love, which all have an eye to thy purity and holiness; therefore run not counter to the purposes of thy Lord. Another thought should restrain thee from sin. Christians can never sin cheaply; they pay a heavy price for iniquity. Transgression destroys peace of mind, obscures fellowship with Jesus, hinders prayer, brings darkness over the soul; therefore be not the serf and bondman of sin. There is yet a higher argument: each time you "serve sin" you have "Crucified the Lord afresh, and put him to an open shame." Can you bear that thought? Oh! if you have fallen into any special sin during this day, it may be my Master has sent this admonition this evening, to bring you back before you have backslidden very far. Turn thee to Jesus anew; he has not forgotten his love to thee; his grace is still the same. With weeping and repentance, come thou to his footstool, and thou shalt be once more received into his heart; thou shalt be set upon a rock again, and thy goings shall be established.

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)
