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?

John Milton (9 December 1608 -- 8 November 1674) was an English poet, author, polemicist, Puritan and civil servant for the Commonwealth of England. He is best known for his epic poem Paradise Lost.
| WHEN I consider how my light is spent | |
| E're half my days, in this dark world and wide, | |
| And that one Talent which is death to hide, | |
| Lodg'd with me useless, though my Soul more bent | |
| To serve therewith my Maker, and present | 5 |
| My true account, least he returning chide, | |
| Doth God exact day-labour, light deny'd, | |
| I fondly ask; But patience to prevent | |
| That murmur, soon replies, God doth not need | |
| Either man's work or his own gifts, who best | 10 |
| Bear his milde yoak, they serve him best, his State | |
| Is Kingly. Thousands at his bidding speed | |
| And post o're Land and Ocean without rest: | |
| They also serve who only stand and waite. |

Don't give up on hope. The US Embassy has been moved to the capital of Israel, Jerusalem. To celebrate, many terrorists attempted a photo op collecting at a defensive wall and trying to break into Israel to kill. Some 72 terrorists died. Predictably, terrorist supporters like Australia FM Julie Bishop claimed Israel's defence was disproportionate. Ranking terrorist soldiers waving weapons were described by press as unarmed civilians. The attempt was labelled a peaceful demonstration. George Orwell would be proud of his followers.

Peter Gregory from the IPA raises an issue on Brexit. The NYT has begun a campaign. The grey lady hopes to profit from charging people $6k each to tour the UK and answer the question "did voters know what Brexit was about?" Only the grey lady is only touring London where the referendum was opposed. It is only money, and if you love entitled journalists and want to fund their lifestyle you may. But keep in mind they are not objectively reporting, but campaigning. The NYT is like Fairfax, imploding because the material they produce is not news, but propaganda.
Some things should not happen, but they do. The federal budget is real politic. It is not conservative and does not address structural problems with the economy that need to be addressed. There has not been a poll bounce for the government, which may be cheered they haven't done any worse. The government is behind 47-53 in the polls, and they have not got an aspirational policy which will get them over the line. And while the ALP is playing the game of being a small target and having no policy beyond more spending. Turnbull only seems to promise he isn't Tony Abbott. Quite so.

It doesn't matter that the ALP are not in government, many gravy trains for their supporters are in place. Holding onto the public teat even though it isn't the public will. Shaping the public will. Movie producers, directors and actors in Australia are not a big crowd, and they are parochial. They stick to a monoculture even though that does not reflect Australian diversity. They are also politically partisan. They use 'balance' in much the same way weasels use words. They will praise counter culture which promotes ALP values, from Don's Party through to Australia, highlighting an Australia unrepresentative and undesirable. Calling Australians racist while espousing racism for indigenes. Mr Hockey, circa '05, gathered together industry insiders to find a way forward so that the Libs could back an independent body that was not hostile. But the insiders would rather cut their own throats than let a non partisan, culturally diverse, industry flourish. Even the current Australia Council issues grants notably directed to safe ALP seats. And the quality of the projects are questionable. Which in turn means artists know they must be partisan to attract money. The problem is pernicious. Teachers, lawyers, judges, police all tend to be partisan to the left so that a teacher who is conservative cannot join a union and have their opinion valued. Universities are partisan, willing to give up public funding rather than pursue excellence in research.
Hockey questions Shorten's rhetoric on the budget reply. Rather than report the substance of Hockey's words, partisan journalists denounce them as plagiarism. Facts are subject to plagiarism rules. Were Hockeys words part of an academic document, no doubt he would have chosen them better. But they weren't and Hockey needed to use words readily understood to convey a message. It was sad when Shorten plagiarised another speech without adding to it or making it relevant. Hockey's speech was salient. That will confuse the partisan media who want to heckle.
Sometimes the partisan lefty refers to the date, and wonders why things aren't better in reflecting that date. This is the year 2015, and so we should not have domestic violence or sexual slavery. We should not have had that in 1955 either. However sixty years ago, Rosa Parks refused to sit in the back of a bus for a white person to be able to sit in the front. The racist custom was obscene and the path to racial equality was begun. But we have gone backwards. In 2015, at the University of Western Sydney, women were required to dress in obscurity and sit in the back of a lecture. The partisan left are largely silent on the issue, as they probably were 60 years ago.
What can be done to address the issue of partisan artists and public servants? One might slowly constrict funding to arts and watch as the infighting begins as the partisan movement eat each other and squeal like stuck pigs. Of course the issue is not merely artists and that may seem unfair. But we must start somewhere. Australia is culturally diverse, and it is unfair and unAustralian to fund such bigotry. It is time to reclaim the bus.

Some people don't deserve children. I saw a video of a woman beating a baby today. It was confronting and I wanted to do something about the abuse situation. But I was powerless. And the beating went on and on for minute after minute and I couldn't look away or do anything to help. Except if you ever meet the woman involved it is ok to apprehend her in any way possible so as to make her face justice. Babies can't defend themselves. They don't know how to feed themselves, or drink or clean. That isn't their job. Precious Doe was born on this day in 1997. Her short, brutal life ended on April 28th 2001. Her naked body was found near her head which was wrapped in a garbage bag. Her step father had killed her and decapitated her after. Her mother was an accessory after the fact. It wasn't until 2005 that Erica Michelle Marie Green was identified by authorities. Her step father was spared the death penalty. I hope his fellow inmates are told what he did.
Today is also the birthday of Wizard of Oz writer L Frank Baum, and of Meccano inventor Frank Hornby. Mike Oldfield was born on this day, taking seventeen years to create Tubular Bells. It was the Meccano that nearly claimed my life growing up in the US. I had a set, and wanted to make it really fancy, getting the wheels to turn. But to do that, I needed power. And the power point was the perfect height for me to access it. I knew that metal conducted electricity, so I lay a meccano piece across a power point and for the first time in my life, felt electricity. I didn't hold it for long, muscles contracted at the jolt. The metal piece blackened and sparked. Thank you, Mr Hornby sir. You ensured my education was complete. My mother never knew.

Today's Old Testament reading: 2 Kings 19-21
Jerusalem's Deliverance Foretold
1 When King Hezekiah heard this, he tore his clothes and put on sackcloth and went into the temple of the LORD. 2 He sent Eliakim the palace administrator, Shebna the secretary and the leading priests, all wearing sackcloth, to the prophet Isaiah son of Amoz. 3 They told him, "This is what Hezekiah says: This day is a day of distress and rebuke and disgrace, as when children come to the moment of birth and there is no strength to deliver them. 4 It may be that the LORD your God will hear all the words of the field commander, whom his master, the king of Assyria, has sent to ridicule the living God, and that he will rebuke him for the words the LORD your God has heard. Therefore pray for the remnant that still survives...."
Today's New Testament reading: John 4:1-30
Jesus Talks With a Samaritan Woman
1 Now Jesus learned that the Pharisees had heard that he was gaining and baptizing more disciples than John-- 2 although in fact it was not Jesus who baptized, but his disciples. 3 So he left Judea and went back once more to Galilee.
4 Now he had to go through Samaria. 5 So he came to a town in Samaria called Sychar, near the plot of ground Jacob had given to his son Joseph. 6 Jacob's well was there, and Jesus, tired as he was from the journey, sat down by the well. It was about noon....

Morning
The boundless realms of his Father's universe are Christ's by prescriptive right. As "heir of all things," he is the sole proprietor of the vast creation of God, and he has admitted us to claim the whole as ours, by virtue of that deed of joint-heirship which the Lord hath ratified with his chosen people. The golden streets of paradise, the pearly gates, the river of life, the transcendent bliss, and the unutterable glory, are, by our blessed Lord, made over to us for our everlasting possession. All that he has he shares with his people. The crown royal he has placed upon the head of his Church, appointing her a kingdom, and calling her sons a royal priesthood, a generation of priests and kings. He uncrowned himself that we might have a coronation of glory; he would not sit upon his own throne until he had procured a place upon it for all who overcome by his blood. Crown the head and the whole body shares the honour. Behold here the reward of every Christian conqueror! Christ's throne, crown, sceptre, palace, treasure, robes, heritage, are yours. Far superior to the jealousy, selfishness, and greed, which admit of no participation of their advantages, Christ deems his happiness completed by his people sharing it. "The glory which thou gavest me have I given them." "These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full." The smiles of his Father are all the sweeter to him, because his people share them. The honours of his kingdom are more pleasing, because his people appear with him in glory. More valuable to him are his conquests, since they have taught his people to overcome. He delights in his throne, because on it there is a place for them. He rejoices in his royal robes, since over them his skirts are spread. He delights the more in his joy, because he calls them to enter into it.
Evening
Who is he of whom such gracious words are spoken? He is the Good Shepherd. Why doth he carry the lambs in his bosom? Because He hath a tender heart, and any weakness at once melts his heart. The sighs, the ignorance, the feebleness of the little ones of his flock draw forth his compassion. It is his office, as a faithful High Priest, to consider the weak. Besides, he purchased them with blood, they are his property: he must and will care for that which cost him so dear. Then he is responsible for each lamb, bound by covenant engagements not to lose one. Moreover, they are all a part of his glory and reward.
But how may we understand the expression, "He will carry them"? Sometimes he carries them by not permitting them to endure much trial. Providence deals tenderly with them. Often they are "carried" by being filled with an unusual degree of love, so that they bear up and stand fast. Though their knowledge may not be deep, they have great sweetness in what they do know. Frequently he "carries" them by giving them a very simple faith, which takes the promise just as it stands, and believingly runs with every trouble straight to Jesus. The simplicity of their faith gives them an unusual degree of confidence, which carries them above the world.
"He carries the lambs in his bosom." Here is boundless affection. Would he put them in his bosom if he did not love them much? Here is tender nearness: so near are they, that they could not possibly be nearer. Here is hallowed familiarity: there are precious love-passages between Christ and his weak ones. Here is perfect safety: in his bosom who can hurt them? They must hurt the Shepherd first. Here is perfect rest and sweetest comfort. Surely we are not sufficiently sensible of the infinite tenderness of 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)
