Editorial Clinton Governor, then President when abuse of power occurred
A man guilty of holding up a taco store in 1981 with a water pistol has served 40 years for the crime. He had never pointed the toy at the cashier when stealing $264 and the victim of the crime has tearfully called for the sentence to be ended. The criminal has reformed, later becoming a whistleblower saving thousands of lives over a blood handling scandal. So what are the circumstances for the abuse of power? One person connects all the dots, given the circumstances.
A decades long sentence for an equivalent hold up is too rare to be recorded. Arkansas was reputed to have abuse of power with sentences from the time of Democrat ascendancy following the Civil War. Prisoners have been used for their labour, possibly until 1994 according to regulations spoken of by Robert Barnes. After Rolf Kaestel was sentenced for his crime, he became a model prisoner, and flagged a blood transfer abuse from exploited prisoners, with tainted blood poisoning people for profit world wide. Following his whistleblowing (in 1999), Kaestal was transferred to Utah for no reason. President Clinton had been governor when the original inappropriate sentence occurred, and was President when Kaestel was transferred. GOP Arkansas governor Ava Hutchinson has commuted the sentence. Previous Dem Governor Mike Beebe had denied parole suggested by his parole board in 2015.
AGW hysteria is not a good guide for government. Victoria is currently paying a very high price for electricity, and current plans for increased renewables threaten to make it worse, more expensive and less reliable. Renewables are bad for the environment, killing wildlife and some of the poorest workers in the world. Battery back up is an expensive solution.
According to the IPA in 2019, 20 years of AGW inspired 'clean energy' policy has shown an increase of price of 220% over 20 years. Inflation Australia wide over that period was 58%. During that time, cheap coal production was replaced with expensive wind farms. Those wind farms have costs of production which exceed power supply over their lifetime, so that there never will be efficiency value until the production type changes. Further, the wind mill blades are bad for the environment, killing wildlife in numbers that would cost an oil company $billions in fines were they to do it. Brown coal is bad for the environment. So are windmills. Solar panels cost the environment too, with miners dying as a result of the methods of extraction of raw materials. Further, recycling of used solar panels and windmills is not yet feasible. With a 20 year lifespan of a windmill, Victoria's modest production rate of 25% renewable in 2020 will largely have to be replaced before more can be installed to meet more ambitious future targets. But that means further brown outs of the type experienced in South Australia in 2016.
Batteries are ineffective, and big batteries are also expensive. Elon Musk's SA battery put in place following the 2016 disaster would not prevent a similar disaster if it gets too warm, or too cold again. At an estimated cost off $50 million, the battery is more costly than diesel fuel generators used by farmers as back up. Further, batteries will only add to the cost of electricity production. The AGW hysteric promises cheap, reliable alternative energy. That does not yet exist. However, the cost of higher electricity has meant industry has had to move from Victoria to places where it can be more cheaply sourced, probably by coal powered power stations. If a child was to list these arguments in an assignment for school in Victoria, they would be marked down faster than FB fact checking an ANTIFA riot report.
Editorial Cardinal Pell abuser indicted for financial corruption
An abuse of power had resulted in an innocent man, Cardinal Pell, being jailed in Victoria. While part of the abuse of power was related to a corrupt judiciary and corrupt media, part of the process was compromised by Vatican leaks. Pell had been capably going through Vatican fiscal irregularities dating back before Pope John Paul I who had died after vowing to clear it up. Now it looks like Pell's work is bearing fruit.
Cardinal Angelo Becciu had been a senior official in Vatican fiscal administration. Along with two other senior members of the Vatican's financial intelligence unit, Becciu will go on trial on July 27th over a multi million Euro scandal involving a London building in a very expensive district. But what of the leaks which had helped jail the innocent Cardinal Pell?

Lin Hatfield Dodds is Deputy Secretary of Malcolm Turnbull's Department of PM and Cabinet. She is a former Greens candidate. To be fair, Turnbull failed to get and hold power several times since 2006. So, he enlisted the support of the Clinton Foundation with foreign aid money. They now call the tune and give him the support he needs. Like the "Women hate Abbott" campaign led by Gillard for a time. Turnbull does not believe in anything except himself. Turnbull would not have given $tens of millions to Hamas if he did not have to. A leftist in admin is the least of what he has paid. But he is not alone. After 16 years in opposition, what was NSW Lib's deal with public service? Why are so many organisations run by incompetent or corrupt leftists in NSW?
RW Asks "Can anyone think of anything that the governments of the last 10 years has done that has been good for the people, has been done successfully, and has been done on cost that has benifited Australia for the present & an asset for the future.

But under the conservatives, Turnbull and his coterie are major obstacles" and "Meh, there is a substantial difference, even though Turnbull is a lodestone and oxygen thief. The difference is between Dan Andrews Victoria and Ted Bailleau's. Bailleau was embarrassing. Andrews is murderously corrupt."
Liberal Democrats upset Georgina Downer did not preference them above Greens. However, Greens are positioned fourth on her ticket which is irrelevant anyway.

However, no independent should rely on a party for support. Come November, I will preference Liberals first for the senate and first after myself in the lower house.

Gabrielle Williams was appointed Parliamentary Secretary for Carers and Volunteers, working with the Minister for Housing, Disability and Ageing and the Minister for Families and Children. ALP in Victoria have started a safe drug injecting room across the street from a primary school. Some of the users are injecting Ice and then being released after observation to make sure they have not overdosed. The placement is in a known drug use area. It is an example of harm minimisation which does not minimise harm. Zero tolerance is the most effective policy, not to be confused with prohibition. Preventing drug use and treating users is more compassionate than letting the mentally ill pursue oblivion. One humorous person suggested alcohol rooms for people to safely imbibe alcohol, to which a friend asserted "We call them pubs." Why does Williams not want to identify and help drug users? And why place drug users above the needs of the sad and depressed? Australia has a suicide epidemic, particularly in rural Australia where farmers are useful to provide income for Australia, but punching bags if they dare profit and squeezed so they don't. Every single drug user is, almost by definition, a mentally ill, depressed person. Facilitating their disease is not helping them.

I don't have party resources, and so my campaign is on foot, and on the internet. Any money I receive that is not spent on the campaign will go to Grow 4 Life. I am asking questions like "What do you love about Dandenong?" and "If you could change something in Dandenong to make it better, what would it be?" I'm not limiting the questions to state issues. I'm happy to discuss anything, and get things done.

Some things should not happen, but they do. Kevin Rudd as PM was highly lauded for apologising to Australian Aborigines. It was an empty gesture, but an attempted travesty as he moved to end the intervention in the North of Australia saving lives of Aboriginal peoples. Aboriginal people are suffering from left wing compassion which seems to promote criminal and decadent behaviour. So that Aboriginal children have got high levels of sexually transmitted diseases. Drunken behaviour and dysfunctional families characterise what has become a cargo culture. Rudd effectively apologised for early welfare groups that tried to help foundlings and the dispossessed. Rudd referred to a myth of a stolen generation in which very few have been identified who were stolen from their parents to be raised by the state. It was an empty gesture of Rudd, but he is still highly lauded for it.
It is apparent that Turnbull can not achieve anything worthwhile as PM, except further humiliation. So he must be looking for a note on which to finish so as to define his term. Turnbull is looking for a Rudd like empty gesture. Same sex marriage could be that. A plebiscite is the policy which the Liberals took to the last election, with no back up plan, and the senate won't allow it because many independents, and the ALP and Greens, feel discussion for such a plebiscite might mean that the plebiscite fails. Pesky democracy. So now a Lib backbencher, possibly with Turnbull's encouragement, is threatening to cross the party floor and move for a parliamentary vote without a plebiscite or discussion. Personally, I don't feel government should be involved with people's sex lives where consent is achieved, but I also want protection for churches which act on conscience, something a members bill might not do. There are lots of legal things I would never do. An empty gesture like Rudd's for which Turnbull can point as a crowning achievement. It is probably too late for Turnbull to bear a child while in office.

No news yet as to wether the fierce battle of half wits will decide who will be the next ALP leader between Shorten, Albanese, Plibersek or Clare. Clare looks better in a suit. Nobody is challenging random phrase generator Turnbull, yet, either. Turnbull has declared “We have resolved this election! Ringing stuff. Hopefully Scott Morrison will move soon before Turnbull melts completely. Compulsory voting has not prevented the lowest turnout for the major parties in Liberal Party history. ALP recording their second worst result since last time. Liberals going backwards while their coalition colleagues, Nationals, still progressed. Turnbull deposed Mr Abbott under the false pretence of explaining policy better and being better at elections. Now the vote is over, Turnbull can resign. Or face further humiliation.
For some, at the moment, the Sex Party has more credibility.

Democrat hatred for the United States cultural assets is longstanding. In South Carolina, in 1962, a Democrat Governor put up the confederate flag on their capitol building while taking credit for improving educational standards while opposing integration. The flag is coming down now, a symbol exploited by bigots and haters. It is difficult to know when it was anything else. The current governor is Nikki Haley. She is GOP.
ALP leader Bill Shorten is the bastard boss portrayed in union attack adverts on Work Choices. He failed to adequately explain his union leader decisions from back in the day. Shorten smeared the High Court Judge instead, claiming Dyson Heydon is Mr Abbott's pawn. Shorten's leadership is exposed and so the eye of voters wanders to look at others. And the alternatives are showing voters what they have got. Tanya Plibersek, ALP Deputy leader, complains she is losing the ability to feed herself. The compelling vision is clearly calculated to inspire sympathy from ALP supporters at the grass roots. They will be needed to change the leadership. Jason Clare says he doesn't know why the government is turning back boats because the policy won't work. In fantasy terms, Clare is a compelling candidate because he has never been leader before and therefore all his mistakes have been someone else's fault. Something ALP members find appealing. But it isn't only ALP members campaigning for Shorten's position. Sarah Hanson-Young is going on sea patrol. She is going to the Mediterranean seas to find lost migrants. It is much nicer there in Summer than Australia in Winter. ALP should be happy with her embarrassment of leadership choices.

Hundreds of millions of tweets over just one soccer match. But it was an unusual match. By way of contrast, Netherlands vs Argentina did not get the same coverage as Germany vs Brazil. But then Germany spanked Brazil 7-1 in front of a home crowd for Brazil. It doesn't get more upsetting in world sport .. anywhere. The result is career changing for all involved. Netherlands beat Spain 5-1 earlier in the tournament, but did not carry on with that form. Germany have done well, but need to maintain it to win the tournament. That is their goal.
Today is the anniversary of an equivalent match as Argentina vs Netherlands has been, 48 BC had Julius Ceaser pitted against Pompey at Battle of Dyrrhachium. It was precipitous, and Ceaser risked all by accident, but nothing happened as two heavyweights faced off. Technically, Pompey won and so he went to face Ceaser again at Pharsalos with all the advantages .. yet lost everything. What had happened was Ceaser had sailed to Dyrrhachium through an enemy force in winter .. and got trapped with a much smaller force that could not resupply. Mark Antony marched to his aid, and Pompey moved to prevent the reuniting. The upshot was that Pompey had a force behind fortifications and Ceaser chose to starve him out by building more fortifications. Pompey had sea access to supplies, but could not feed his livestock. Ceaser's men were hungry, but when spring came, Ceaser would hold all the advantages. Pompey broke out of his enclosure and marched to Pharsalos. How will Argentina fare against Germany? How will Brazil against Netherlands? So much has happened, but the future is uncertain, and anything might prove all the difference.
Also on this day, but in the year 645, was the Isshi incident in Japan which transformed Japan and involved their honour system in a way that seems incomprehensible if one is not Japanese. Two princes, Nakatomi no Kamatari, Prince Naka no Ōe, conspired to kill a third, Soga no Iruka. The attack took place in front of Empress Kōgyoku during a court ceremony. Iruka was not killed during the first attack, but pleaded his case to the Empress, who retired to consider it. A second attack in front of the Empress finished Iruka and put the Empress in a difficult position, she was unclean because of the murder in her presence. So she stepped aside, but not for the killer, but his older brother. The killer became a monk. And after a few reigns, Emperor. It was a family affair. Much like that big family of soccer fans watching the events unfold in the world cup.
Also on this day, Lady Jane Grey took the throne of England in 1553. It was not a blessing for her. Neither was it a blessing when Richard Neville defeated Lancastrian forces of Henry VI in 1460. The Vellore mutiny against the British East India company happened on this day in 1806, but the Sepoys had to wait another hundred and forty two years to see independence for India. US Democrat President Andrew Jackson moved to kill the second US bank in 1832, setting in train a position of inept fiscal rectitude all Democrat Presidents have followed. Death Valley recorded a temperature of 57 degrees centigrade in 1913. It has been cooler ever since. In 1997, scientists reported DNA analysis of a Neanderthal that favoured the 'out of Africa' theory for human development, with an 'Eve' existing 100k to 200k years ago (She was a good woman who liked kids). Born on this day was John Calvin in 1509, Nikola Tesla in 1856, Marcel Proust in 1871, Harvey Ball 1921, Jake LaMotta 1921, Arlo Guthrie 1941 and Sunil Gavaskar in 1949.

Today's Old Testament reading: Job 38-40
The LORD Speaks
1 Then the LORD spoke to Job out of the storm. He said:
2 "Who is this that obscures my plans
with words without knowledge?
3 Brace yourself like a man;
I will question you,
and you shall answer me.
with words without knowledge?
3 Brace yourself like a man;
I will question you,
and you shall answer me.
4 "Where were you when I laid the earth's foundation?
Tell me, if you understand.
5 Who marked off its dimensions? Surely you know!
Who stretched a measuring line across it?
6 On what were its footings set,
or who laid its cornerstone--
7 while the morning stars sang together
and all the angels shouted for joy?
Tell me, if you understand.

Timothy Joins Paul and Silas
1 Paul came to Derbe and then to Lystra, where a disciple named Timothy lived, whose mother was Jewish and a believer but whose father was a Greek. 2 The believers at Lystra and Iconium spoke well of him. 3 Paul wanted to take him along on the journey, so he circumcised him because of the Jews who lived in that area, for they all knew that his father was a Greek.4 As they traveled from town to town, they delivered the decisions reached by the apostles and elders in Jerusalem for the people to obey. 5 So the churches were strengthened in the faith and grew daily in numbers....

Morning
It is a delightful and profitable occupation to mark the hand of God in the lives of ancient saints, and to observe his goodness in delivering them, his mercy in pardoning them, and his faithfulness in keeping his covenant with them. But would it not be even more interesting and profitable for us to remark the hand of God in our own lives? Ought we not to look upon our own history as being at least as full of God, as full of his goodness and of his truth, as much a proof of his faithfulness and veracity, as the lives of any of the saints who have gone before? We do our Lord an injustice when we suppose that he wrought all his mighty acts, and showed himself strong for those in the early time, but doth not perform wonders or lay bare his arm for the saints who are now upon the earth. Let us review our own lives. Surely in these we may discover some happy incidents, refreshing to ourselves and glorifying to our God. Have you had no deliverances? Have you passed through no rivers, supported by the divine presence? Have you walked through no fires unharmed? Have you had no manifestations? Have you had no choice favours? The God who gave Solomon the desire of his heart, hath he never listened to you and answered your requests? That God of lavish bounty of whom David sang, "Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things," hath he never satiated you with fatness? Have you never been made to lie down in green pastures? Have you never been led by the still waters? Surely the goodness of God has been the same to us as to the saints of old. Let us, then, weave his mercies into a song. Let us take the pure gold of thankfulness, and the jewels of praise and make them into another crown for the head of Jesus. Let our souls give forth music as sweet and as exhilarating as came from David's harp, while we praise the Lord whose mercy endureth forever.
Evening
A believer has two principles at work within him. In his natural estate he was subject to one principle only, which was darkness; now light has entered, and the two principles disagree. Mark the apostle Paul's words in the seventh chapter of Romans: "I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: but I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin, which is in my members." How is this state of things occasioned? "The Lord divided the light from the darkness." Darkness, by itself, is quiet and undisturbed, but when the Lord sends in light, there is a conflict, for the one is in opposition to the other: a conflict which will never cease till the believer is altogether light in the Lord. If there be a division within the individual Christian, there is certain to be a division without. So soon as the Lord gives to any man light, he proceeds to separate himself from the darkness around; he secedes from a merely worldly religion of outward ceremonial, for nothing short of the gospel of Christ will now satisfy him, and he withdraws himself from worldly society and frivolous amusements, and seeks the company of the saints, for "We know we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren." The light gathers to itself, and the darkness to itself. What God has divided, let us never try to unite, but as Christ went without the camp, bearing his reproach, so let us come out from the ungodly, and be a peculiar people. He was holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners; and, as he was, so we are to be nonconformists to the world, dissenting from all sin, and distinguished from the rest of mankind by our likeness to our Master.

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)
