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?

Here is a video I made On Kileys Run
A Banjo Paterson poem
Andrew Barton "Banjo" Paterson, OBE[2] (17 February 1864 -- 5 February 1941)[3] was an Australian bush poet, journalist and author. He wrote many ballads and poems about Australian life, focusing particularly on the rural andoutback areas, including the district around Binalong, New South Wales where he spent much of his childhood. Paterson's more notable poems include "Waltzing Matilda", "The Man from Snowy River" and "Clancy of the Overflow".

Don't give up on hope. Unions are corrupt and incompetent in supporting workers. That is not a new thing. It does not have to be that way. There are places in the world where unions can work with industry to achieve great results for workers. But a generational problem with unions in Australia is that they are not devoted to core purpose, but politicised and geared towards prospering through corrupt means. In WW2, they opposed the war effort. Also they opposed peace keeping in Vietnam and Timor. Unions have been involved with drug running and murder. Unions have employed hit men to stand over business men and throw stolen money into slush funds used by elite ALP to fund campaigns and champagne lifestyles. So what are the technicalities that prevent investigations into corrupt practice from units from bearing fruit? Why are unions so public in partisan politics they do not represent anyone who may be conservative? Recently a royal commission referred two high ranking unionists for charges but the courts claimed the investigations had been compromised. When the fruits of corruption are so apparent, such action by a court calls into question the competence of courts.
In Australia, courts are corrupt and judges are partisan despite their claims of independence. Judges have not gone by written law but made code up by 'reading between the lines' or changing policy as with foreign citizenship of sitting members of parliament, whereby recently Australian born politicians with no foreign allegiance have been turfed from parliament for not disavowing foreign allegiance that arose as a result of foreign governments trying to correct past wrongs with immigration. Prior and doing WW2, Jews tried to escape the holocaust but had been denied refugee status by nations that sent them back to their deaths. So now, to avoid the issue of people becoming stateless, citizenship is granted by foreign powers in tenuous circumstances of grandchildren of citizens who migrated. So Penny Wong, who was born overseas but renounced her allegiance to her birth nation remains in parliament, but Barnaby Joyce who was Deputy PM at the time, was booted and pushed into by election although he was Australian born. And then there was the Andrew Bolt persecution which suggests gross incompetence on behalf of the judiciary. Also, I point to my status, which is supposed to be protected as whistleblower, but which is not.
Mr Turnbull usually dithers until he knows the mistake he wants to make. The UN voted in 1947 to partition British Mandate Palestine between Israel and Jordan. Israel got some 23% of the land. It included all of Jerusalem. Turnbull opposed and criticised the US for putting an embassy there. Who, on the left, will vote for Turnbull for tacitly endorsing terrorism? Morrison's budget has been better received than anticipated. The ALP's reply to the budget was bungled. Yet even so, the ALP are projected to a landslide win against conservatives next election. The public have stopped listening to Malcolm Turnbull.

Some things should not happen, but they do. A Wikipedia crime list shows jailed members of Australian parliaments. The list does not discriminate, but typically favours the ALP. Prima facie, 23 ALP members versus 13 Liberal/National, but the Coalition did not really exist until the late 40’s. So it seems like there are equivalent numbers of transgressions.
But then looking at the list shows things are skew. Names are missing, or overstated. Bob Collins allegedly committed suicide before his alleged pedophilia was examined. Sandra D’Amore was accused similarly as Richard Face, but one got a jail sentence and the other didn’t. Both were ALP. National Party member Adam Marshall never got jail time at all for drink driving. but his name is on the list, but former ALP Attorney General Jeff Shaw who allegedly crashed a car so drunk he was not even aware he had crashed it, and later walked out of hospital with both blood samples. Shaw was not on that list.
Tasmanian ALP politician Terry Martin, was convicted of having sex with a 12 yo girl. He is listed as being an independent. Barry Morris is listed as being a Liberal but he had been forced out of the party by then NSW leader John Fahey. Morris contested election as an independent.
The ALP have a terrible history of having senior officials involved in pedophilia. A corresponding equivalence is not part of the conservative coalition, even wth the biased listings.

Death sentence for jihadist bomber. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has been proud of his achievement of killing three and maiming hundreds of others when he bombed the Boston marathon in 2013. Following the planned explosions, where Dzhokhar placed a bomb close to children, the brothers hijacked a car, killed a policeman and Dzhokhar drove over his dying brother in his car, before hiding in a boat. He is a jihadist, which is to say he is capable of lying, cheating killing and hurting the most vulnerable. He feels emotions strongest when there is talk of him struggling in childhood. He is proud of the damage he has done. Some say he is Islamic, one leaves that to the impotent Islamic leadership which embrace such. He may have fans appreciative of such bestial creatures, but the truth is God does not claim such creatures. God is not a quivering, frightened, threatened creature, intolerant of drawings or criticism, and any such creature that is, is not God and has no power or authority among God's people. It will be a long time before Dzhokhar dies. Maybe ISIL will be defeated before then. Maybe secular democracy will reign in nations under siege of jihadis. It matters little how the garbage is disposed of, so long as it doesn't come back.
Artists who are silenced by a cut to welfare schemes are not brave. They are not insightful in challenging the mores of the ruling elite. They are parasites hurting the weakest who listen to them and accept their logic without reason. The highly lauded actress who brought forth a particularly sapphic Galadriel does not possess the magic to accurately describe the weather. Even though she has a following. Turn off the tap. Let artists who can commercialise prosper.
On this day in 218, a manipulative aunt, Julia Maesa, was banished to her Syrian homeland by an upstart emperor, Macrinus. She got her revenge by starting a rumour that her nephew was favoured by a sun god and marching on the unpopular emperor, whose own troops deserted him. Macrinus was not of senator class. In 1532, the pratt Sir Thomas More resigned as Lord Chancellor of England. He had begged Henry VIII of England to leave the role, claiming chest pains. He refused to accept Henry's divorce, and a few years later was beheaded for maintaining that position. More had confused faith in God with politics. But a political leader does not hold sway over a conscience. In 1568, Mary, Queen of Scots fled to England. Her father had died six days after she was born in December 1540, and she had been Queen of Scotland since then. But she gave the throne to her one year old son, James, in order to prevent a husband from claiming her throne. She had also claimed herself to be the legitimate English Queen, and that eventually got her killed. But her son was to succeed her cousin, Queen Elizabeth I. In 1770, a 14 yo Marie Antoinette married a 15 yo Louis August who would later become King of France.
In 1843, the first wagon train of a thousand people set out along the Oregon Trail from Elm Grove Missouri to the Pacific Northwest. In 1868, the worst President before Obama, Andrew Johnson, was acquitted of impeachment by one vote. Johnson was a Democrat who had been on a unity ticket with Lincoln. He had failed to do anything worthwhile for America before the assassination, or since. In 1918, another President from the Democrats brought about the 1918 Sedition Act which made it criminal to criticise the government, imprisonable in wartime. It was repealed two years later, an election year.

From 2014
One of the more disappointing conservatives, Sarkozy, was elected President of France on this day in '07. France had had right wing leadership for awhile leading up to it, but it was indulgent. I remember reading of Sarkozy's casual anti semitism and I had hoped he was merely courting Obama over some issue. But bigotry is older than Obama. Bigotry is also a character flaw. It is a problem for Jewish peoples that anti semites are on both the left and right of European political demarcations. And it is everybody's problem that that is the case. Hollande is not an improvement, but he is socialist and can't be expected to not be a bigot too. There is always a reason for bigotry, and it is never isolated, It is a result of poor values and often a crime of convenience.
Mao's Great Leap Forward had failed, with China's economy shrinking, millions dead, workers pushed from cities to country to work in agriculture. The failed model was advanced by Pol Pot later. So, on this day, Mao launched the Cultural Revolution with his May 16th address denouncing capitalism and claiming that some were undermining Communism. The result was the formation of Red Guard youth groups who informed on their own parents if they appeared to advocate Capitalism. And many tens of millions died in the purges.
The day is not entirely backward. Kuwait voted 35 out of 58 for Women's Suffrage in '05. Soviets landed a probe on Venus in '69 (their moral police are still examining this sentence). In 1888, Tesla experimented with AC which is superior to DC over a relatively large distance. But also, the day saw in 1532 Sir Thomas More resign as Lord Chancellor of England. And in 1568, Mary, Queen of Scots, flee to England. It is that kind of day.

The believer in Christ receives a present justification. Faith does not produce this fruit by-and-by, but now. So far as justification is the result of faith, it is given to the soul in the moment when it closes with Christ, and accepts him as its all in all. Are they who stand before the throne of God justified now?--so are we, as truly and as clearly justified as they who walk in white and sing melodious praises to celestial harps. The thief upon the cross was justified the moment that he turned the eye of faith to Jesus; and Paul, the aged, after years of service, was not more justified than was the thief with no service at all. We are today accepted in the Beloved, today absolved from sin, today acquitted at the bar of God. Oh! soul-transporting thought! There are some clusters of Eshcol's vine which we shall not be able to gather till we enter heaven; but this is a bough which runneth over the wall. This is not as the corn of the land, which we can never eat till we cross the Jordan; but this is part of the manna in the wilderness, a portion of our daily nutriment with which God supplies us in our journeying to and fro. We are now--even now pardoned; even now are our sins put away; even now we stand in the sight of God accepted, as though we had never been guilty. "There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus." There is not a sin in the Book of God, even now, against one of his people. Who dareth to lay anything to their charge? There is neither speck, nor spot, nor wrinkle, nor any such thing remaining upon any one believer in the matter of justification in the sight of the Judge of all the earth. Let present privilege awaken us to present duty, and now, while life lasts, let us spend and be spent for our sweet Lord Jesus.
Evening
Recollect that there are two kinds of perfection which the Christian needs--the perfection of justification in the person of Jesus, and the perfection of sanctification wrought in him by the Holy Spirit. At present, corruption yet remains even in the breasts of the regenerate--experience soon teaches us this. Within us are still lusts and evil imaginations. But I rejoice to know that the day is coming when God shall finish the work which he has begun; and he shall present my soul, not only perfect in Christ, but perfect through the Spirit, without spot or blemish, or any such thing. Can it be true that this poor sinful heart of mine is to become holy even as God is holy? Can it be that this spirit, which often cries, "O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this sin and death?" shall get rid of sin and death--that I shall have no evil things to vex my ears, and no unholy thoughts to disturb my peace? Oh, happy hour! may it be hastened! When I cross the Jordan, the work of sanctification will be finished; but not till that moment shall I even claim perfection in myself. Then my spirit shall have its last baptism in the Holy Spirit's fire. Methinks I long to die to receive that last and final purification which shall usher me into heaven. Not an angel more pure than I shall be, for I shall be able to say, in a double sense, "I am clean," through Jesus' blood, and through the Spirit's work. Oh, how should we extol the power of the Holy Ghost in thus making us fit to stand before our Father in heaven! Yet let not the hope of perfection hereafter make us content with imperfection now. If it does this, our hope cannot be genuine; for a good hope is a purifying thing, even now. The work of grace must be abiding in us now or it cannot be perfected then. Let us pray to "be filled with the Spirit," that we may bring forth increasingly the fruits of righteousness.

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)
