Fri 28th May 2021 Current Affairs

Editorial Media hatred of Trump shields Biden

headline names President Trump in a murder. A husband had killed his wife and allegedly used her vote, afterwards, to vote for Trump as an alibi. It is not yet certain the killer broke electoral laws established during the COVID crisis. He might not have forged her signature and it might still have been counted. Why do we know the vote was cast for Trump? Would a vote for Biden have changed the status of the investigation? Maybe Liz Cheney can enlighten us, with her vow to do anything to prevent Trump from being elected an historic third time. Usually it is a power hungry Democrat who goes for more than two elections. Except Trump has been fraudulently denied the 2020 election as an investigation into voting is showing. When Democrat Governor of California faced recall, he insisted on signatures being checked and 20% of signatures were fouled off. But during the 2020 Presidential election, some states did not check voter signatures. 

It is now being revealed by former Biden staffers that Biden is a Malcolm Turnbull type talent. He hesitates and pontificates but holds onto the power of saying 'no' well past the time a 'yes' might be practicable. Before Biden implements policy that he thought of, he is implementing policy that others preached, and that failed others. This failed policy is getting people killed in the Middle East, and denying workers jobs at home. Kudos to the forty two million Biden voters who voted twice. 

How is the press covering the Biden fiasco? By reporting that AOC had an ugly confrontation with a congress woman she publicly attacked? Marjorie Taylor Greene is correct in saying AOC has endorsed the murderous terrorists of 'Palestine' over the government and peoples of Israel? 

Or maybe the press are ignoring Biden's failure and focusing on the antics of Elon Musk?  


Editorial Cricket Australia's Ball tampering fail

The treatment of Australia's cricket elite over a professional foul of ball tampering was absurd. A player cheated badly and as a result management was cleaned out and the Captain and Vice Captain were hung out to dry. Instead of a match fee being removed from guilty parties, innocent parties resigned, and senior players were ousted for years from the sport and lost $millions. For trying to wear out one side of a cricket ball during play when the ball was playing dead. In other similar incidents players don't face any sanctions. 

Recently, the incumbent Australian captain who has led a weakened side weakly has admitted that the former captain should get his job back. And then the press inflate a 'confession' from the cricketer who committed the foul. What will the press do when they find out about Biden's involvement with the downing of MH 17 in Ukraine? We may never know. 

Actor Craig McLachlan was brutally attacked by press over allegations he was innocent. But the press are persevering with trying to destroy his career forever. 


Editorial Press harassing Israel as Israel defends herself from WMD

Israelis are facing tens of thousand of rocket attacks as terroristt celebrate Biden's 2020 election fraud. 

On May15th, Journalists against Israel 'report' on grim death toll and UN opinion favouring terrorists. We are told that there was a horror moment when Israeli police raided a home with human shields being active for terrorists. Israel collapsed tunnels which had housed high explosives. 

On May 16th we read that two press agencies, AP and Al Jazeera were using their home base in the conflict to shelter those launching missiles. "They’re not going to get weapons. They’re going to get their cameras and their work gear,” he said." "Moments later, hundreds of journalists watched their office be reduced to rubble after the Israeli army launched an air strike against it, demolishing the 13-floor building in the Gaza Strip." Apparently the life work of journalists is now to shield terrorists from retribution? 

The next day, press again report among fatalities of human shields used by terrorists to protect military targets. Only we don't know that that is what happened at all. In the past, journalists have staged things to look like atrocities. 

As Fatah's leader clings to power decades after a fraudulent election win, Press denounce Benjamin Netanyahu of clinging to power. 


Editorial how Biden started Jew Killing in Middle East

Two competing foreign policy agenda are regionalism vs bilateralism. Trump favoured bilateral relations policy. Obama favoured regionalism and recreated a cold war to achieve those aims. Under cold war theory, trouble nations like North Korea and Iran are forced to find a big protector like China or Russia to protect them. Under Bilateral theory, nations are free to achieve their agenda and engage with nations for mutual benefit. In the Middle East, a Cold War theory question of the USA to their satellite countries is "What is your biggest security threat?" and, filtered through the noise of competing factors is the answer 'Israel.' Israel is not a threat to anyone, but the compromise takes into account the desire of terrorists to achieve their aim of destroying Israel. However, when bilateral practitioners ask their question 'What do you want?' Then, most Middle East nations do not consider Israel at all. 

Under bilateral practice, Trump achieved a balanced peace in the Middle East. Under regionalism, Biden has revived terrorism, with tens of thousands of rockets aimed at Israel as thousands are fired daily. The press are happy for the war, as they hand wring and write of the possibility of peace they despised Trump. Where to next? Cold War involves bureaucratic process. Terrible things happen like the shooting down of a Malaysian airways flight over Ukraine, where the guilty parties, including Biden, have never been brought to book. 

Already, Biden meddling in the Israeli election process has clouded the state of Israel's administration. Under Cold War rules, can Israel defend herself?

Incredible new video emerges exposing the most radical Biden administration nominee yet. In this episode, I discuss the troubling video and I also address the dangerous new tactic the left is employing to crush freedom and liberty.

Here is a video I made Always a Woman

"She's Always a Woman" is a song from Billy Joel's 1977 album The Stranger. It is a love song about a modern woman, whom he falls in love with for her quirks as well as her flaws. The single peaked at #17 in the U.S. and in 1986 peaked at #53 in the UK when released as a double A-side single with Just the Way You Are. On May 2, 2010 the song re-entered the UK chart at #29.

She can kill with a smile
She can wound with her eyes
She can ruin your faith with her casual lies
And she only reveals what she wants you to see
She hides like a child
But she's always a woman to me

She can lead you to love
She can take you or leave you
She can ask for the truth
But she'll never believe
And she'll take what you give her as long as it's free
Yeah, she steals like a thief
But she's always a woman to me

[Chorus:]
Oh, she takes care of herself
She can wait if she wants
She's ahead of her time
Oh, and she never gives out
And she never gives in
She just changes her mind

She will promise you more
Than the Garden of Eden
Then she'll carelessly cut you
And laugh while you're bleedin'
But she'll bring out the best
And the worst you can be
Blame it all on yourself
Cause she's always a woman to me

[Chorus:]
Oh, she takes care of herself
She can wait if she wants
She's ahead of her time
Oh, and she never gives out
And she never gives in
She just changes her mind

She is frequently kind
And she's suddenly cruel
She can do as she pleases
She's nobody's fool
But she can't be convicted
She's earned her degree
And the most she will do
Is throw shadows at you
But she's always a woman to me

Don't give up on hope. The lobby promoting the 'sacrifice' of 'Tommy Robinson' share the spirit of those promoting the 'sacrifice' of another at a Beer Hall Putsch. I respectfully point out that the targets of venom of the two, Tommy and Adolph, are not similar. Jews were not guilty of what Adolph denounced. Islamo fascists are guilty of what Tommy denounces. But Tommy extends it to include all Muslims and that is wrong. In the west there are cultural issues at play. The Left have broadly embraced terrorism among Muslims as legitimate. So that questions of identity and safety are conflated with cultural identity and custom. The left have defended barbaric practices from female genital mutilation and child abuse while left leaders have armed terrorists and pointed them at targets in the West. Left wing leaders have legitimised terrorist leaders including those who were supported by Adolph in so called Palestine, and Iranian mullahs. Western left wing leaders claimed it was wrong to depose Saddam Hussein and establish Democracy in Iraq, people like Tommy stood up and agreed, saying that UK should not have been involved internationally and that the focus should be at home. Just like Adolph, Tommy is clothing himself in leftwing protectionist memes. There are ordinary Islamic folk who are not connected with the atrocities of Islamo Fascism. Tommy does not have a plan that will improve things, Tommy will make things much worse. Adolph did not have a plan to improve things either. Adolph wrote of his struggle in prison. Tommy will struggle in prison too. Yet, being in prison seems to suit Tommy.

Tommy's incarceration is part of natural justice as well as legitimate under UK law. Tommy allegedly broke parole and police on hand made the decision they were empowered to make. It is not an illegal arrest. And EDL supporters, and related, can inflate issues, have inflated issues, to confuse the public into believing that something wrong and sinister is happening. "Tommy was arrested for speaking out about Muslims raping children" screams some headlines, or "Tommy was arrested without charge and a blanket ban on reporting has been imposed" is another meme. Both are wrong. In fact, had Tommy not been arrested then it could be argued political interference was preventing legal function. Almost as if Tommy wanted to be arrested and thrown into a jail with a substantial Islamic population. It would be wrong to go soft on Tommy, just like it was wrong to release Adolph after a mere nine months. I am disgusted that international media are endorsing Tommy Robinson or legitimising his stance. I will include three memes that are relevant to this situation. Note, the memes may originate from compromised extremist groups. 



SMOLOKO represent NAZI ideology. Adolph's quote here misrepresents Christianity

Some things should not happen, but they do. The Pope made eyes at Donald Trump, and it is a tale. One gets it the Pope does not like Trump. The Pope declared some of Trump's campaign slogans were immoral. The Pope seems to be for killing people who want to migrate for economic reasons and are willing to risk all. The Pope seems to believe in Gaia and AGW theory and is willing to place the world's poorest in jeopardy by making more people poor so rich AGW activists get richer. Maybe I am wrong, and the Pope is incapable of saying what he means. The Pope seems very unhappy with Trump, and his face and eyes betray that when the two are together. Which is really sad, because the world needs a Pope who is competent, and graceful. Francis seems neither. One gets it that the Pope is not trying to impress me, but heal a large church suffering from the loss of John Paul II's leadership. Neither has the Pope shown leadership over Cardinal Pell's mistreatment by Australian media and activists. Francis was famous for the Franciscan order of monks, and for, among other things, ending a Christian understanding it was ok to kill any Muslim for any reason. But the current Pope Francis has not advanced understanding or friendship with Muslims as radical extremists have killed indiscriminately. Maybe the Vatican Wall is preventing the Pope from seeing reality? 

Teresa May is seeking to win a general election in the UK. Press opposition to her is much stronger than Corbyn's Labor party. And it is so called conservative press, the like of which did not endorse Brexit, which is being hyper critical. Criticising May's clothing, or inflating statements into so called gaffs. Would the UK voters really prefer a communist leader with unfettered tax and spend ideology over a conservative who mentioned fox hunting? Prince Charles did it, and he'll probably support the Greens, because Castro was not a UK citizen. For the world, I want May to win that election. But I just live here. I don't vote there.  

Bob Woodward, part of the journalist duo who took out Richard Nixon using Assistant FBI Director Mark Felt's leaks, now feels it is wrong to do the same to Trump. It was wrong back then too. Trump is waging a culture war to drain the swamp and the swamp is fighting back. I have yet to hear what Trump has done which is supposed to be wrong. I've heard the name Russia mentioned a few times, but it seems as if Obama got burned using Russia as a partner frenemy in the new Cold War Obama started to fix his foreign policy power vacuum. 

In 585 BC, a solar eclipse occurred, as predicted by the Greek philosopher and scientist Thales, while Alyattes was battling Cyaxares in the Battle of Halys, leading to a truce. This is one of the cardinal dates from which other dates can be calculated. While eclipse are predictable, we don't precisely know how Thales did it. 621, Battle of HulaoLi Shimin, the son of the Chinese emperor Gao Zu, defeated the numerically superior forces of Dou Jiande near the Hulao Pass (Henan). This victory decided the outcome of the civil war that followed the Sui Dynasty's collapse in favour of the Tang Dynasty.

In 1503, James IV of Scotland and Margaret Tudor were married according to a papal bull by Pope Alexander VI. A Treaty of Everlasting Peace between Scotland and England signed on that occasion resulted in a peace that lasted ten years. 1533, the Archbishop of CanterburyThomas Cranmer, declared the marriage of King Henry VIII of England to Anne Boleyn valid. 1588, the Spanish Armada, with 130 ships and 30,000 men, set sail from LisbonPortugal, heading for the English Channel. (It would take until May 30 for all ships to leave port.) 1644, Bolton Massacre by Royalist troops under the command of James Stanley, 7th Earl of Derby. Prince Rupert was the cousin of Charles I. The death count is not certain, but the atrocity is.

1905, Russo-Japanese War: The Battle of Tsushima ended with the destruction of the Russian Baltic Fleet by Admiral Tōgō Heihachirō and the Imperial Japanese Navy. It was a game changing defeat which taught the world that fast ships with guns are much better than ships with lots of varied guns. 1936, Alan Turing submitted On Computable Numbers for publication. 1942, World War II: in retaliation for the assassination attempt on Reinhard HeydrichNazis in Czechoslovakia killed over 1,800 people. A sad tribute to the architect of the Final Solution. 1948, Daniel François Malan was elected as Prime Minister of South Africa. He later went on to implement Apartheid. 1951, the British radio comedy program The Goon Show was broadcast on the BBC for the first time. 

In 1961, Peter Benenson's article The Forgotten Prisoners was published in several internationally read newspapers. This would later be thought of as the founding of the human rights organisation Amnesty International. Tragically, Amnesty has lost their way, no longer supporting prisoners of conscience but supporting left wing values and often, terrorism. 1964, the Palestine Liberation Organization was formed. Palestine as the Jordanians see it, never existed before hand. 1987, 19-year-old West German pilot Mathias Rust evaded Soviet Union air defences and landed a private plane in the Red Square in MoscowRussia. He was immediately detained and would not be released until August 3, 1988. He successfully let Gorbachev get rid of people that opposed him in the military, thus closing the cold war.

Man accused of stealing syndicate lottery winnings after leaving his job and living large. He denies it, but he would. Syndicate members have successfully sued to see the details of the winning ticket. But, if the ticket is indeed theirs, the payout still goes to the ticket holder. FIFA accused of stealing millions of dollars in corrupt handling of world cup bids. Australia recently contrived $50 million to a losing bid, and it is not yet known where the money went. Who was in charge of the syndicate? Surely the FIFA head must go even if he was not directly corrupt?

Today is the anniversary of the disgraceful attacks ending the Australian Governor General Peter Hollingworth's career in 2003. The attacks were politically motivated and increased when the humble man didn't dismiss them utterly. In the end, he resigned so as to protect the position of Governor General. Irresponsible ALP leadership led creedence to the hounding of the Governor General. It was no different as to the personal attacks which ended the career and life of former Governor General John Kerr who had used his position to cal for an election in '75. Neither person had done anything wrong, but they were both hounded in office. Kerr was hounded out of office too. Today, it is similar to the attacks on Cardinal Pell. It is unprofessional for partisan journalists to politically pursue their agenda in this way. But they do.

2 Then Solomon spoke to all Israel-to the commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds, to the judges and to all the leaders in Israel, the heads of families-- 3 and Solomon and the whole assembly went to the high place at Gibeon, for God's tent of meeting was there, which Moses the LORD's servant had made in the wilderness....

Today's New Testament reading: John 10:1-23


The Good Shepherd and His Sheep
1 "Very truly I tell you Pharisees, anyone who does not enter the sheep pen by the gate, but climbs in by some other way, is a thief and a robber. 2 The one who enters by the gate is the shepherd of the sheep. 3 The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. 4 When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice. 5 But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will run away from him because they do not recognize a stranger's voice." Jesus used this figure of speech, but the Pharisees did not understand what he was telling them....

Morning


"So Mephibosheth dwelt in Jerusalem: for he did eat continually at the king's table; and was lame on both his feet."
2 Samuel 9:13
Mephibosheth was no great ornament to a royal table, yet he had a continual place at David's board, because the king could see in his face the features of the beloved Jonathan. Like Mephibosheth, we may cry unto the King of Glory, "What is thy servant, that thou shouldst look upon such a dead dog as I am?" but still the Lord indulges us with most familiar intercourse with himself, because he sees in our countenances the remembrance of his dearly-beloved Jesus. The Lord's people are dear for another's sake. Such is the love which the Father bears to his only begotten, that for his sake he raises his lowly brethren from poverty and banishment, to courtly companionship, noble rank, and royal provision. Their deformity shall not rob them of their privileges. Lameness is no bar to sonship; the cripple is as much the heir as if he could run like Asahel. Our right does not limp, though our might may. A king's table is a noble hiding-place for lame legs, and at the gospel feast we learn to glory in infirmities, because the power of Christ resteth upon us. Yet grievous disability may mar the persons of the best-loved saints. Here is one feasted by David, and yet so lame in both his feet that he could not go up with the king when he fled from the city, and was therefore maligned and injured by his servant Ziba. Saints whose faith is weak, and whose knowledge is slender, are great losers; they are exposed to many enemies, and cannot follow the king whithersoever he goeth. This disease frequently arises from falls. Bad nursing in their spiritual infancy often causes converts to fall into a despondency from which they never recover, and sin in other cases brings broken bones. Lord, help the lame to leap like an hart, and satisfy all thy people with the bread of thy table!

Evening

"What is thy servant, that thou shouldest look upon such a dead dog as I am?"
2 Samuel 9:8

If Mephibosheth was thus humbled by David's kindness, what shall we be in the presence of our gracious Lord? The more grace we have, the less we shall think of ourselves, for grace, like light, reveals our impurity. Eminent saints have scarcely known to what to compare themselves, their sense of unworthiness has been so clear and keen. "I am," says holy Rutherford, "a dry and withered branch, a piece of dead carcass, dry bones, and not able to step over a straw." In another place he writes, "Except as to open outbreakings, I want nothing of what Judas and Cain had." The meanest objects in nature appear to the humbled mind to have a preference above itself, because they have never contracted sin: a dog may be greedy, fierce, or filthy, but it has no conscience to violate, no Holy Spirit to resist. A dog may be a worthless animal, and yet by a little kindness it is soon won to love its master, and is faithful unto death; but we forget the goodness of the Lord, and follow not at his call. The term "dead dog" is the most expressive of all terms of contempt, but it is none too strong to express the self- abhorrence of instructed believers. They do not affect mock modesty, they mean what they say, they have weighed themselves in the balances of the sanctuary, and found out the vanity of their nature. At best, we are but clay, animated dust, mere walking hillocks; but viewed as sinners, we are monsters indeed. Let it be published in heaven as a wonder, that the Lord Jesus should set his heart's love upon such as we are. Dust and ashes though we be, we must and will "magnify the exceeding greatness of his grace." Could not his heart find rest in heaven? Must he needs come to these tents of Kedar for a spouse, and choose a bride upon whom the sun had looked? O heavens and earth, break forth into a song, and give all glory to our sweet Lord Jesus.

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.
