Editorial NSA spying on US citizens for political masters
When Nixon was asked about the NSA he replied it stood for 'No such agency.' Recently, FBI joined with numerous other police agencies worldwide to wrap up a sting where criminals had used a communication network the FBI had invented for criminal use. Thousands around the world were arrested, but not in USA, as their communication was protected. The US government was not allowed to read them. Except, it is apparent that the US government has been reading such intelligence involving people not engaged in criminal activity. Why give criminals a free pass? Is it because many of those criminals were Democrats?
How are we to respond to news that NSA have been spying on Tucker Carlson? We know that they bungled spying on Carter Page over Spy-gate. NSA have emails from Tucker Carlson after Carlson met with a world leader from central America. Why is it that those without 'Democrat Insurance' are faced with lawless bureaucracy from USA, while Democrats maintain no oversight? Or can the FBI begin prosecuting the criminals whose emails they have? Hillary Clinton 'wrote' a book called "It takes a village." Did that village include police?
Editorial Cancel culture claims woke
Babylon Bee, satirical media outlet, had been cancelled by Mail Chimp. Mail Chimp corrected their 'mistake' but Babylon Bee have taken their services elsewhere. The 'mistake' severed communication for Babylon Bee with their subscribers. Mail Chimp had declared the email content of Babylon Bee as being 'harmful information.' It is an escalation of FB's practice with users. FB users have public content. Mail Chimp merely facilitates email. Not only had Mail Chimp lawlessly mislabelled private content of their users, but they had accessed it to judge it, illegally.
Imagine a teen girl maintaining a secret diary where she revealed her personal thoughts for herself to consider. Imagine how that girl would feel if her worst critic had snuck into her room, found the diary, and corrected it, posting the correction publicly at school. That is what Mail Chimp did to a paying client. However, is what other sites are doing lawful? What about FB's activity censoring accounts for no reason other than disagreeing with their politics? How about those who were censored for posting on Wuhan lab leak theory? Or for posting on Hunter Biden's laptop? What is happening to the land of the free, and the home of the brave?
He felt he was so badly off that he refused an ambulance or anyone who might have screened his blood toxicology. And he has had a press conference to obfuscate details. We know that after time, Andrews lies and claims he forgets. He cannot remember details of his choices giving a security gig to mates who failed during a COVID lockdown, killing over a hundred Victorians. Andrews says he thought he was going to die. So why the cover up? And why does the article finish with a shaming statement for anyone who asks why?
If Andrews fell because he was blotto, then Victorians need to know. Letting Andrews take the reigns off power when he has flagrantly failed in his duty in the past is wrong. Over a hundred Victorians have died because of Andrews' mismanagement. Billions of dollars have gone missing.

Here is a video I made Wednesday Morning 3am
Wednesday Morning, 3 A.M. is the debut album by folk duo Simon & Garfunkel, released October 19, 1964. It was produced by Tom Wilson and engineered by Roy Halee. It initially flopped, but was re-released in January 1966 to capitalize on their newfound radio success and reached #30 on the Billboard pop charts. It is perhaps best known for the acoustic version of "The Sound of Silence". In several concerts, Art Garfunkel related that during the photo sessions for the album cover, several hundred pictures were taken that were unusable due to the "all-familiar suggestion" on the wall in the background, which inspired the song "A Poem on the Underground Wall".
Seriously awful lyric writing must be celebrated
I can hear the soft breathing
Of the girl that I love
As she lies here beside me
Asleep with the night
And her hair, in a fine mist
Floats on my pillow
Reflecting the glow
Of the winter moonlight
She is soft, she is warm
But my heart remains heavy
And I watch as her breasts
Gently rise, gently fall
For I know with the first light of dawn
I'll be leaving
And tonight will be
All I have left to recall
Oh, what have I done,
Why have I done it?
I've committed a crime,
I have broken the law
For twenty-five dollars
And pieces of silver
I held up and robbed
A hard liquor store
My life seems unreal,
My crime an illusion
A scene badly written
In which I must play
Yet I know as I gaze
At my young love beside me
The morning is just a few hours away

Don't give up on hope. Tuesday night I was in Springvale for Richard Stockman's Grow 4 Life supporting wine dinner. I don't drink wine (or bathe in it) but the Thai meal at Thai Paradise 171 Coleman parade was worth it. Lots of Liberals and affiliated were present, no ALP, although some obviously lean that way. But it wasn't about politics. It was about supporting the neediest in our community. I have an education program that could fix education in Victoria, and Australia, which targets middle ability students. Grow 4 life targets people without a home, work, or, hope. I have decided that any funds I raise, which are not spent directly on my campaign, will go to Grow 4 Life to support their Tiny houses project and their Grow 4 Life gardeners.
Coles and Woolworth shopping bag policy is being criticised by many inconvenienced. They are profiting from it, and they are not helping the environment. I'm ok with business profiting. I note checkout times are increasing as inconvenienced customers need to rearrange shopping. Another issue is being raised by environmentalists in the form of plastic straws. Environmentalists are too concerned at how you live, but not concerned at the consequences of their actions. The straws and plastic bags issue is directly a result of failed recycling policy. It is true that Australia has not the plastic problem of China, Indonesia or Vietnam, but the fact is that environmentalist noise is directly a consequence of failed policy in recycling. To address the need, we should end inefficient recycling now. For the short term, we should direct rubbish to landfill until we know how to deal with it right.

A Newsweek report on an Iranian General with conspiracy theory on Israel thieving rain clouds. Apparently Israel are only taking the silver linings. Why is the article worthy of international attention? There is drought in the region atm. Were Iran not led by bigots, Israel could help them with a range of technologies allowing Iran to prosper despite drought. Israel is not holding that technology out of reach from bigots. It is bigots that prevent Iran from being helped. Bigots, like Newsweek journalists, who promote anti semitism.
The refugee crisis in Europe is abating. It is really poor analysis to blame Merkel for the problem and the solution. Greece and Italy opened the tap with socialist governments. Italy elected an anti immigrant government to turn the tap off. Hungary's response was effective, building a wall and keeping the illegal migrants out, but their problem was a different order of magnitude to Germany's problem at the time. As RL points out, Merkel was the architect of the open door policy. But at the time, it was the only response open to Merkel, and tellingly, socialists are pointing at Merkel too. Because Merkel took leadership when they set off the bomb and ran.
As part of the November 24th Vic election campaign I have a petition I want to bring before the Opposition Leader Matthew Guy. I believe Matthew will be the next premier of Victoria and so I am petitioning him as I raise the issues of Employment, Crime and Education in Dandenong. I am also seeking money for my campaign. 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.
David Leyonhjelm is being savaged by people who claim he offends them. However, those people offended have said some really offensive things too. Not necessarily about David, but that does not matter. Being offensive is not a terrible problem. Breaking the law is a terrible problem. As is supporting terrorism. Sarah Hanson Young has supported a borderless policy which has claimed the lives of many. I find that offensive, but worse, I see no reason to allow her continued presence in the senate s long as she supports taking lives of people who merely want to live better lives. Before David retracts anything, Sarah should apologise and admit liability.

Some things should not happen, but they do. Radio station 3AW in Melbourne is discussing unpaid work, like internships. Internships are great providing opportunity for even the poorest to display their skill sets. Naturally the ACTU is opposed to such an idea. The Australian Council of Trades Unions wants it that anyone who gets opportunity must do so through a union. When the ALP aren't in government, their hangers on get paid through trade unions. When conservatives are not in government, their supporters do not get paid, or work. Internships are important. Foreign students face a barrier against accessing internships, unless they are independently wealthy. Foreign students have to work for income to secure university fees and accommodation. Internships for students are free to universities, but they still charge some $12k a semester. I'm not for slave labor, but volunteer positions are not that. Volunteer positions are far more flexible than Centrelink. But one impost on society is paid activism. Trade unions do not have enough checks and balances, leading to corruption.

Halle Yaffa Ariel rests in the arms of the Lord. She deserved a long full life. And she was denied it by cowards who hide from reason in their safe spaces. Killed by those who gave Muslim extremists a free pass. She was Jewish, and so after a dance recital seen by 150, she went to her home and went to sleep. A 17 year old extremist Islamic broke into her home while she slept, and stabbed her to death. The so called Palestinian (Muhammad Nasser Tarayrah) had entered the house while both parents and two younger sisters were elsewhere. He later stabbed a security guard and was killed. Some two hundred so called Palestinians have been killed trying to commit similar atrocity since October 2015. They have succeeded in claiming some 33 innocent Israeli lives. It is what Obama and Kerry call 'Peace.' Some would say the cowardly Muhammad was not really Islamic, but many claim that in killing an innocent sleeping child he represents the Islamic ideal. Palestinian leadership have repeatedly called for similar attacks, and the UN endorses it.
Turnbull's legacy is assured and eternal. He could attempt to stab a Muslim woman and fail, when it turned out to be an umbrella. Police could seize him and no one would think less of him.The speech matched Turnbull as PM. Divisive, desperate and incapable.Bill Shorten had not campaigned to win, but to get back the ALP heartland that had deserted ALP when it became apparent that they lied and were corrupt in 2013, but even so did not reflect true ALP values which are also selfish and spiteful. Shorten's lies about Medicare weren't believed by ALP heartland, but were examples of Shorten connecting with those who want to believe we will all go down together come the revolution. Or evolution. Or something. On radio 3AW, in Melbourne, one caller post election said she believed the ALP lies because she had once heard a reporter say the Libs were planning to privatise Medicare. When it was explained to her that privatising Medicare could not be done as it was loss making, but privatising the fiscal collection aspect had been discussed and shelved, she said she knew the truth and liked Bill Shorten. Heartland.

AFL coach Phil Walsh stabbed to death, allegedly by his son. His son is 26 years old, his daughter is 22 years old and he is survived by his wife who was also stabbed. The Adelaide Crows, the entire code and Australia mourn the loss of a dedicated, hard working and kind man. Mr Walsh had had a near death experience in 2012 which sparked him to focus on things. Earlier this year, Walsh admitted he had lost a connection with his son, and begun surfing with him and his daughter to reconnect. We have not been told if drugs were involved. The match scheduled for Sunday with the Crows has been cancelled.
Typical of the left wing, the issues facing Greece are met with calls claiming it is not possible to run Greece well. All that is required is a cut in spending. The Greek government claims it can still find other people's money to spend. Ten years ago Greece did not have a problem. Those pointing to historical issues have got it wrong. Greece needs to cut spending, to live within her means, and to repay her debts. It will be better for Greece than try to steal more money.
ALP member for Wollongong, Noreen Hay, has stepped down over allegations of voter fraud.

Some terrorists, possibly from those who were released by demand from Obama for 'peace,' murder three Israeli boys. Then an honour killing of a gay Islamic boy is blamed on Israel by media. Turns out US money is funding terrorist operations but no one is blaming a military official as Oliver North was blamed .. this ugly situation is at the feet of world leaders like Obama and the UN secretary General. And neither of them is denying it. Meanwhile, Iran has apparently been granted permission to build an atomic bomb. When will the madness end? 2016?
Today, in 1035, a supposed descendant of Rollo, reputed brother of the semi mythical Ragnar Lothbrok, became Duke of Normandy. He was also an ancestor of Queen Elizabeth II. The French royal line was also founded on this day in 987, with Hugh Capet crowned. For equivalent US royalty, George Washington committed his only surrender in 1754, and took command of the US army in 1775. But it was a royal stuff up by General Lee to order Pickett's charge at Gettysburgh in 1863. Wasting the lives of 50% of his men in a futile charge. Years later, when interviewed about the cause of the defeat, a confederate officer remarked that the Union forces had a lot to do with it. Touchingly, 50 years later, to the day, opposing forces met and held hands at the high point of the charge. And there is the majesty of royalty, that so many die for the state. But it is no explanation for the deaths of four youths in Israel at the hands of terrorists.
Born on this day in 1943 was Judith Durham, a Seeker. Jim Morrison passed through a door on this day in 1971, and the carnival was over.

Today's Old Testament reading: Job 22-23
Eliphaz
1 Then Eliphaz the Temanite replied:
2 "Can a man be of benefit to God?
Can even a wise person benefit him?
3 What pleasure would it give the Almighty if you were righteous?
What would he gain if your ways were blameless?
Can even a wise person benefit him?
3 What pleasure would it give the Almighty if you were righteous?
What would he gain if your ways were blameless?
4 "Is it for your piety that he rebukes you
and brings charges against you?
5 Is not your wickedness great?
Are not your sins endless?
6 You demanded security from your relatives for no reason;
you stripped people of their clothing, leaving them naked.
7 You gave no water to the weary
and you withheld food from the hungry,
8 though you were a powerful man, owning land--
an honored man, living on it.
Today's New Testament reading: Acts 11
Peter Explains His Actions
1 The apostles and the believers throughout Judea heard that the Gentiles also had received the word of God. 2 So when Peter went up to Jerusalem, the circumcised believers criticized him 3 and said, "You went into the house of uncircumcised men and ate with them."
4 Starting from the beginning, Peter told them the whole story: 5 "I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in a trance I saw a vision. I saw something like a large sheet being let down from heaven by its four corners, and it came down to where I was. 6 I looked into it and saw four-footed animals of the earth, wild beasts, reptiles and birds. 7 Then I heard a voice telling me, 'Get up, Peter. Kill and eat.'
=== Morning and Evening ===

Morning
Blessed is the fact that Christians can rejoice even in the deepest distress; although trouble may surround them, they still sing; and, like many birds, they sing best in their cages. The waves may roll over them, but their souls soon rise to the surface and see the light of God's countenance; they have a buoyancy about them which keeps their head always above the water, and helps them to sing amid the tempest, "God is with me still." To whom shall the glory be given? Oh! to Jesus--it is all by Jesus. Trouble does not necessarily bring consolation with it to the believer, but the presence of the Son of God in the fiery furnace with him fills his heart with joy. He is sick and suffering, but Jesus visits him and makes his bed for him. He is dying, and the cold chilly waters of Jordan are gathering about him up to the neck, but Jesus puts His arms around him, and cries, "Fear not, beloved; to die is to be blessed; the waters of death have their fountain-head in heaven; they are not bitter, they are sweet as nectar, for they flow from the throne of God." As the departing saint wades through the stream, and the billows gather around him, and heart and flesh fail him, the same voice sounds in his ears, "Fear not; I am with thee; be not dismayed; I am thy God." As he nears the borders of the infinite unknown, and is almost affrighted to enter the realm of shades, Jesus says, "Fear not, it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom." Thus strengthened and consoled, the believer is not afraid to die; nay, he is even willing to depart, for since he has seen Jesus as the morning star, he longs to gaze upon Him as the sun in his strength. Truly, the presence of Jesus is all the heaven we desire. He is at once
"The glory of our brightest days;
The comfort of our nights."
Evening
"Unto thee will I cry, O Lord my rock; be not silent to me: lest, if thou be silent to me, I become like them that go down into the pit."
Psalm 28:1
Psalm 28:1
A cry is the natural expression of sorrow, and a suitable utterance when all other modes of appeal fail us; but the cry must be alone directed to the Lord, for to cry to man is to waste our entreaties upon the air. When we consider the readiness of the Lord to hear, and his ability to aid, we shall see good reason for directing all our appeals at once to the God of our salvation. It will be in vain to call to the rocks in the day of judgment, but our Rock attends to our cries.
"Be not silent to me." Mere formalists may be content without answers to their prayers, but genuine suppliants cannot; they are not satisfied with the results of prayer itself in calming the mind and subduing the will--they must go further, and obtain actual replies from heaven, or they cannot rest; and those replies they long to receive at once, they dread even a little of God's silence. God's voice is often so terrible that it shakes the wilderness; but his silence is equally full of awe to an eager suppliant. When God seems to close his ear, we must not therefore close our mouths, but rather cry with more earnestness; for when our note grows shrill with eagerness and grief, he will not long deny us a hearing. What a dreadful case should we be in if the Lord should become forever silent to our prayers? "Lest, if thou be silent to me, I become like them that go down into the pit." Deprived of the God who answers prayer, we should be in a more pitiable plight than the dead in the grave, and should soon sink to the same level as the lost in hell. We must have answers to prayer: ours is an urgent case of dire necessity; surely the Lord will speak peace to our agitated minds, for he never can find it in his heart to permit his own elect to perish.

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)
