Editorial on Biden's stunning 'success' in Afghanistan
Afghanistan under the thumb of the Taliban. Street lynching, political murder and freedoms quashed. That is Afghanistan as those who voted for Biden as President have achieved. A tarred man is lead with a noose down a street for a walk of shame. What was his crime? Or does it not matter if there was a crime, only that the terrorists can show their ability to assert their authority. Just like Biden locking up people who peacefully demonstrated on January 6th. How long will those peaceful demonstrators be detained? Eight months without a trial? They say justice delayed is justice denied. How long will Biden delay justice in Afghanistan?
I asked a colleague who liked Biden, what they thought God thought about Afghanistan. My friend said "God should never have been there"
Editorial on reimposition of Andrews Curfew
Australian news propaganda has Vic extension of lockdown as being necessary. And imposition of curfew, again, which failed last time. Why do left wing governments have to copy NAZI ideas on social organisation? From eugenics, family planning, public shaming, social isolation, removal of freedoms and environmentalism, it is almost as if some ageing NAZI is still funding their ideals world wide. Curfew and lockdown failed last time in Victoria, with over a hundred dying after being denied effective medication while crime tape was placed children's swings and roundabouts. The deaths were a direct result of Premier Andrews placing a bungling private security company over quarantine, a company closely connected with ALP and not subject to competitive bidding for the job. When asked about his decision, the Premier delayed answering for months, and then said he forgot.
Delta variant Covid is more transmissible than COVID 19, and less deadly, Less deadly than the common cold. And what is wrong with treating it with appropriate medication?
Editorial on Pell case and Deep state
Cardinal Pell had created the Melbourne Response into institutionalised pedophilia in the '90s in Australia. It was a world first, but hamstrung by laws of the day, giving victims compensation without forcing them to trial. There was a backlash and a party which had included many who were known pedophiles and had deep bureaucratic connections had had Pell face decades of litigation which over time crept to accuse Pell of being a pedophile, and had him jailed on a false pretext for over a year. He had been convicted by the Victorian high court after the chief justice took the case saying they would be impartial, but they weren't. In the mean time, Pell had been 3rd in power within the Catholic church and had restructured church finances world wide to root out corruption. Recently, senior church members who allegedly leaked against Pell are facing charges of embezzlement. I see no evidence Catholicism is more prone to pedophilia than elsewhere, and I know there are tragic examples. But a deep state issue within Catholicism has seemed to be in the mix and on both sides, Catholics are standing up. Tony Abbott was the first conservative Catholic in Australia (It could be argued Joseph Lyons was Catholic too, but the UAP founder had been ALP first). Malcolm Turnbull is catholic too. Deep state division within Catholicism dates over a thousand years. It is not solely responsible for US deep state issues, but it does seem a contributor.

Editorial on Friday 13th
There used to be a 13th month. It spawned the idea of a blue moon which happens once a year. Robert Graves interpreted artwork from pre literacy Greece found that woman were the initial leaders of the Greeks, and they had three powerful gods, Hera, Aphrodite and Athena. They were a kind of trinity, where Hera, cow eyed, was the older who saw wrongs when others didn't realise she was watching. Aphrodite was a mature, desirable woman. Pallas Athene was the child goddess, whose wisdom was like a sharp pre teen girl. Over time, Queens would adopt a king for a year. At the end of the year, the blue moon, the king would be sacrificed and his blood and bones would be fertiliser. Later still, prisoners might be sacrificed for the king.
The thirteenth month has disappeared from our calendar but still exists as a blue moon, sometimes defined as the month of the year with two moons.
The Code of Hammurabi left off the number 13 for reasons now unknown.
Apollo 13 came too late to be foundational, but my, it was inspiring.
The knights Templar were screwed before French King Philip stole their assets by accusing them of heresies and then torturing them to confess, beginning Friday 13th. They had lost everything when Jerusalem fell after 150 years when the language spoken there had been French. Jerusalem fell after Jerusalem's king's daughter was kidnapped, and so the king the left the safety of a fortress and was slaughtered in battle. The Knights Templar had the timeless duty of guarding Jerusalem and her antiquities. The Holy Grail legend may have been resurrected to impugn the Knights? I feel the knights were victims of a deep state within Christianity. Part of the chaff masquerading as wheat.

From the Bible, 1 Corinthians 3
The Church and Its Leaders
Brothers and sisters, I could not address you as people who live by the Spirit but as people who are still worldly—mere infants in Christ. I gave you milk, not solid food, for you were not yet ready for it. Indeed, you are still not ready. You are still worldly. For since there is jealousy and quarreling among you, are you not worldly? Are you not acting like mere humans? For when one says, “I follow Paul,” and another, “I follow Apollos,” are you not mere human beings?
What, after all, is Apollos? And what is Paul? Only servants, through whom you came to believe—as the Lord has assigned to each his task. I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God has been making it grow. So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow. The one who plants and the one who waters have one purpose, and they will each be rewarded according to their own labor. For we are co-workers in God’s service; you are God’s field, God’s building.
By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as a wise builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one should build with care. For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw, their work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each person’s work. If what has been built survives, the builder will receive a reward. If it is burned up, the builder will suffer loss but yet will be saved—even though only as one escaping through the flames.
Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in your midst? If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy that person; for God’s temple is sacred, and you together are that temple.
Do not deceive yourselves. If any of you think you are wise by the standards of this age, you should become “fools” so that you may become wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God’s sight. As it is written: “He catches the wise in their craftiness”; and again, “The Lord knows that the thoughts of the wise are futile.” So then, no more boasting about human leaders! All things are yours, whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or the present or the future—all are yours, and you are of Christ, and Christ is of God.

A shocking new memo leaks proving that the Biden administration knew Afghanistan would collapse. I also show a video of the California Governor getting destroyed in an interview.
News Picks:
- They knew! Leaked State Department cable indicated that the Biden administration was warned about the collapse of Afghanistan.
- The Taliban is in possession of sophisticated US weaponry.
- Biden thinks you’ll lose interest in the Afghanistan disaster.
- This is the ultimate humiliation. The Biden Administration is asking for payments to evacuate our people out of Kabul.

Here is a video I made Crying for U w Alannah
I sang the piece and Particle Dots made a gift to me some years ago on iCompositions. Alannah wanted to add her magnificent voice to it. Bryn reminded me of this piece recently, and because my earlier posts on this had weakly included the music file I decided to redo it in HD.
I am in love, and she doesn't love me. This is ok, if a blow to my pride. I have some homework to do. It is my job to let her see how she seems through my eyes. It is also my job to listen to her. I am sure I will cross lines in pursuing my agenda. Not to harm her, but to find a way to include her as my friend. Maybe I cannot. Maybe my dream is merely a phantasm. And so I include these pictures which are real.
To get these pictures, I needed to forgive my rapist. I did that, because I believe that God wants me to.

I was raised as an Atheist. I learned, after reading the Bible, that God loves me, and you. This is his song for you too. He loves you, and wants to be with you.

Don't give up on hope. Malcolm Turnbull stopped dithering and instead shot himself in the foot. He called for a leadership spill, and so faced Peter Dutton, a former Queensland policeman who is an effective government minister. The surprise move was not telegraphed, so numbers had not been counted for Dutton, but Turnbull was able to show his full armoury of support. Turnbull won 48-35 the spill, and later that day, a no confidence motion in parliament 67 - 76. Malcolm's leadership has been exposed as untenable on the numbers. The ALP don't want him, although former senator Graham Richardson has said Turnbull begged for a senatorial position within the ALP before leading the republican campaign that failed. Dutton has gone to the backbench, and nine of the best ministers in the government have volunteered to follow Dutton, offering resignations. A desperate media are suggesting Julie Bishop as an alternative. Dutton is working to challenge the leadership again, soon.
Meanwhile, Donald Trump's personal lawyer has pled guilty to tax evasion and campaign finance violations. Cohen faces five years jail. Cohen has claimed Trump is guilty of paying two porn stars for their silence, but not that Trump had done anything to deserve being stung by the parasites. No news as to when FBI might investigate corruption related to Clinton, Comey and others. It is illegal to be blackmailed in the US? It is illegal to pay black mailers? It is illegal to be a GOP candidate who wins? #DrainTheSwamp
I'm contributing to QUORA, a question and answer site that can be a bit addictive.
What was a movie-like experience you had in high school?
I’m not one for discussing race. I respect everyone. But racism and bullying crosses divides. As a child I was raised in a dysfunctional family, and one of my sisters died from congenital kidney disease complications. My family moved from USA to Australia immediately following, and my parents divorced. My dad had beaten me at random occasions when he was stressed and I ended up at a well to do public high school in a leafy suburb called Turramurra in Sydney’s North.
One boy at Turramurra, Tim A, identified as Aboriginal and was angry with the world. 1978 I started year 7 at this school, and Jimmy Carter was blaming American empire building for what was wrong with the world. Tim figured I was American and a safe person to address the wrongs of all Americans on. He’d approach me on the playground and tell me my days were numbered. He told me not to dob on him or he’d know and it would be worse. He was egged on by kids that grimly confirmed I was American. Jimmy Carter would explain on nightly news how America was wrong to be involved in the Middle East, and that left to themselves, they’d find peace.
I hated sport. I was fat and my father humiliated me for it. One day, changing in the change room for sport, Tim used the opportunity to grab me and pushing me into a steel wall urinal, he asked me why I felt I was better than everyone. “Why do you hate Aboriginals?” and “If you tell anyone it will be worse for you.” My mother was a left wing loony and would be appalled if I’d disrespected Aboriginals. My older brother was as aggressive in hurting me as Tim threatened. Kids who egged Tim on, begged me to fight back. I wouldn’t because I could see no way in which I might win.
But some kids knew that what was happening was wrong, and they’d stood no chance against Tim, who was imposing, They went to get a teacher who came in, demanding to know why I was not changed yet. He told me to hurry up and then he left. Outside, the teacher told me he was concerned about my fitness. I needed to get changed quickly and be ready for sport. Meanwhile Tim warned me not to talk about what happened.
Not long after, Tim moved to South Australia. A few years later, when we were in year 10, in 1982, Ronald Reagan was President, and kids pronounced his last name ‘ray gun.’ There was an assembly and the school was told Tim A had died. Many cried, and some kids pointed out they were hypocrites. Rumour was Tim had committed suicide on a motor bike. He’d be so upset I’m dobbing on him now. Earlier this year I took a DNA test. Turns out I’m 30% Aboriginal. I’d been born in USA, but both my parents had been born in Australia.

A daily column on what the ALP have as a policy, supported by a local member, and how it has 'helped' the local community. I'll stop if I cannot identify a policy. Feel free to make suggestions. Contact me on FB, not twitter. I have twitter, but never look at it.
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. Williams was given those titles when elected in 2014. It is difficult to find what value she has been to Dandenong, but clearly the ALP see her as the future. On her ALP news feed, Williams has announced the ALP are giving money away to virtue signal on recycling. The company, Polyfoam Australia is to get $10k out of an $88k package to give money away. They recycle polystyrene products into useful forms. If they profit from that, that is great. But why give them money if they are profitable? It is to reduce the amount of plastic in land fill, which allegedly contributes to global warming that Dandenong is not experiencing this winter. There are half a dozen rivers in the world that contribute over 90% to the world's problems with waste plastic in water ways. None of them are in Australia, or Dandenong. Those rivers are not helped by Dandenong giving away $88k, or even $10k to business. The business employs people, but the gift money does not.
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.

Some things should not happen, but they do. I am proud, humbled and heartened to have published my latest title, Bread of Life: January. I had thought to wait awhile longer. It cost me about $1 thousand for each of the history of the world in a year titles. Bread of Life is much shorter and cheaper. I will have the remaining twelve titles out in the next year. Considering the subject matter, Daniel Katz may not want me thanking him, but I do.
The Antifa protests around the world have been punctuated with senseless left wing violence. One must never endorse their violence with claiming that reason supports their stance. Snopes has. A picture of a left wing extremist fighting with a policeman has gone viral, so Snopes addressed it. In the picture, the violent left wing activist, using a weapon against a policeman who is helpless on the ground, has an Antifa marking on their back. It is photoshopped. Snopes has discovered the original photo is of a left wing activist in Greece in 2009 beating a policeman. It reminds me of the lefty apologist pointing out the left wing of the French Revolution couldn't possibly have existed because it predated Marx.

Jason Clare demonstrated getting Australian Troops killed for using substandard equipment would not attract criticism. So it follows that Turnbull can assign many tens of billions of dollars to building Australian made substandard submarines. Had Abbott made the same bad decision, he would have been highly criticised. When Turnbull ambushed Abbott eleven months ago, he said he would run a government that explained the need for fiscal rectitude. He hasn't. Instead, Turnbull stands for waste and incompetence. Knee jerk reactions, like the appointment of a royal commission following a biased ABC report, will contribute to the humiliations of Turnbull before he resigns. Julie Bishop needs to be ditched too. She was made aware of the recent Vietnam Long Tan celebration debacle over a week before last minute panic ruined it. Meanwhile Shorten is 'popular,' not having achieved anything worthwhile too.
For some, at the moment, the Sex Party has more credibility.

There are terrible memes being circulated at the moment impugning the character of anyone that is or was on the Liberal front bench or doing good work in rooting out corruption. And the memes are hateful and slanderous. They involve a small truth, which is inflated behind all reason. Kathy Jackson, Arthur Sinodinos, Scott Morrison, Eric Abetz, Dyson Heydon, Bronwyn Bishop and others, listed with their so called 'crimes'. Crimes such as "Accused weather bureau of global warming bias" or "Violated UN Convention on torture". Not all the faces in the meme are accused of any involvement with the different 'crimes' described. So that it is Scott Morrison who is accused in the meme of torture. However, not even that accusation actually applies. Scott Morrison hasn't tortured anyone, or even stood by and allowed it to happen. Morrison has saved lives by turning back boats and maintaining strong border protection laws. As a direct result of Mr Morrison's actions, refugees have been able to come and settle in Australia in larger numbers than under the ALP, the budget has had ten of billions of dollars added to it because money has not been spent on illegal boat people. Fewer people are in detention than under the ALP and all that are are being processed by the UN. There is nothing happening which may, to the casual observer, appear as torture when compared to ISIL, North Korea or even Ireland or Iceland. And so, looking at the meme, one asks, does any of it have any truth to it?
Viewing the meme, and the nasty comments by those largely agreeing with it, one is reminded public figures need thick skin. Which is why Gillard insisted that Thomson not be confronted on what he later admitted were lies to the parliament. Penny Easton was not a public figure when compliant press hounded her and she suicided. Kathy Jackson is not a public figure either. She bravely stood on principle and asked the questions which later got Thomson convicted of minor things. Only Thomson, who apparently lived on similar conditions to Jackson, was not convicted of the same things that Jackson subsequently was. It looks like Jackson has been smeared. Her boyfriend was lampooned by many for representing her and not working. Both sacrificed much for things it is hoped anyone would stand up for. But one has to wonder, seeing the cost to both, if one ever would dare stand on principle, such is the viciousness of those who are part of labor corruption. The law must stand for all, not in isolation, or it isn't the law. Thomson was excused of things Jackson has been convicted of. But then maybe the law is different for the ALP and unions?
One thing those named in the memes have not done is drown thousands of people who wanted to come to Australia. None of them are guilty of losing over $600 billion from Australia's treasury to corruption. None of them are guilty of stealing from union members, or embezzling money obtained from standover tactics designated for union members.
Viewing the meme, and the nasty comments by those largely agreeing with it, one is reminded public figures need thick skin.

Instead one who was humiliated before the biased ICAC has been accused of being humiliated by that biased body. One who denounced the bias of the weather bureau for bias on AGW is accused of making that responsible declaration. One who denounced the ruinously expensive and incompetent Australian ship builders as being incapable of making a canoe is themselves denounced for being responsible. But when Australians die in battle from substandard equipment, where will the fingers point then? One who took personal responsibility for expense claims when the ALP have done worse is denounced as the only one to have done so, despite it being legal and legitimate. The Attorney General is accused of ignoring a siege gunman's letter seeking contact with ISIS. It was not sufficient to prevent the gunman from carrying out their siege. But given what the Attorney General knew, his call wasn't the murderous one. Maybe the ALP should look at the character reference given the gunman by a former NSW ALP leader.
From 2014
I began this project a year ago and so I have now completed a phase of my plan to establish a digital cultural museum in the Smithfield and Cabramatta area which promotes local talent and maintains a bulletin board on current issues. It will pay for martial arts clips and cultural dance which are open sourced so as to allow free use or nominal cost. It will allow me to post videos and articles without editorial interference from FB, Google et al. Not a free for all, discussion involves listening as well as voicing an opinion. The phase I have completed is a daily historical column (not really complete, there is a three week hole which needs to be filled and the articles need revising and editing and to be fleshed out. Also a survey of days events from wikipedia. The emphasis is a conservative voice, which is not available through mainstream press in Australia. There are a few conservative commentators, but the best news service (news.com.au) is balanced and often compromised through left wing advocacy. Whereas left wing ideology is conformist in nature, conservatism is a broad tent with diverse opinion and agenda.
The leader of the opposition has announced he has been investigated for a sexual assault claim made about events in the 80's. The prosecution has announced they could not reasonably hope for a successful prosecution and so, with that ringing endorsement which is more stained than Cardinal Pell or Hollingworth, Shorten claims he is innocent. The victim is upset at the decision of the prosecutor. It would also be impossible to prosecute Shorten on the issue of competence, something Shorten no doubt feels is abhorrent to him. The event related to a young Labor camp when Shorten was 19 and the victim was 16 years old. A reminder, if it were needed, that the former ACTU leader has never done anything in his life but order people around on Labor activist issues.
More information has been released regarding the beheading of a journalist in the Middle East by Islamic terrorists. Apparently the family who were working to have the victim freed had been sent a threatening email demanding Obama stop bombing, a week ago. Apparently special forces were tasked to free the journalist. The follow up journalist is then probably already dead, but the terrorists are timing the release of the death video. It is a reminder that the theory of evolution is a disproof of Islam. Not the Islam of faithful peoples who coexist peacefully with others and have contributed to arts and science over the years, but the so called Islam of murderous hateful thugs whose so called Allah uses mentally ill people to represent his people. Crimes against humanity bring Islam into disrepute and it is incumbent on the those who are faithful to resist those who champion terrorism. Who wants to be represented by a pervert? Allah?

Today's Old Testament reading: Psalm 105-106
1 Give praise to the LORD, proclaim his name;
make known among the nations what he has done.
2 Sing to him, sing praise to him;
tell of all his wonderful acts.
3 Glory in his holy name;
let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice.
4 Look to the LORD and his strength;
seek his face always.
5 Remember the wonders he has done,
his miracles, and the judgments he pronounced,
6 you his servants, the descendants of Abraham,
his chosen ones, the children of Jacob.
7 He is the LORD our God;
his judgments are in all the earth....
his miracles, and the judgments he pronounced,
6 you his servants, the descendants of Abraham,
his chosen ones, the children of Jacob.
7 He is the LORD our God;
his judgments are in all the earth....
Today's New Testament reading: 1 Corinthians 3
The Church and Its Leaders
1 Brothers and sisters, I could not address you as people who live by the Spirit but as people who are still worldly-mere infants in Christ. 2 I gave you milk, not solid food, for you were not yet ready for it. Indeed, you are still not ready. 3 You are still worldly. For since there is jealousy and quarreling among you, are you not worldly? Are you not acting like mere humans?4 For when one says, "I follow Paul," and another, "I follow Apollos," are you not mere human beings?
5 What, after all, is Apollos? And what is Paul? Only servants, through whom you came to believe-as the Lord has assigned to each his task. 6 I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God has been making it grow. 7 So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow. 8 The one who plants and the one who waters have one purpose, and they will each be rewarded according to their own labor. 9 For we are co-workers in God's service; you are God's field, God's building....

Morning
Among all the saints whose lives are recorded in Holy Writ, David possesses an experience of the most striking, varied, and instructive character. In his history we meet with trials and temptations not to be discovered, as a whole, in other saints of ancient times, and hence he is all the more suggestive a type of our Lord. David knew the trials of all ranks and conditions of men. Kings have their troubles, and David wore a crown: the peasant has his cares, and David handled a shepherd's crook: the wanderer has many hardships, and David abode in the caves of Engedi: the captain has his difficulties, and David found the sons of Zeruiah too hard for him. The psalmist was also tried in his friends, his counsellor Ahithophel forsook him, "He that eateth bread with me, hath lifted up his heel against me." His worst foes were they of his own household: his children were his greatest affliction. The temptations of poverty and wealth, of honour and reproach, of health and weakness, all tried their power upon him. He had temptations from without to disturb his peace, and from within to mar his joy. David no sooner escaped from one trial than he fell into another; no sooner emerged from one season of despondency and alarm, than he was again brought into the lowest depths, and all God's waves and billows rolled over him. It is probably from this cause that David's psalms are so universally the delight of experienced Christians. Whatever our frame of mind, whether ecstasy or depression, David has exactly described our emotions. He was an able master of the human heart, because he had been tutored in the best of all schools--the school of heart-felt, personal experience. As we are instructed in the same school, as we grow matured in grace and in years, we increasingly appreciate David's psalms, and find them to be "green pastures." My soul, let David's experience cheer and counsel thee this day.
Evening
Cities well fortified have broad walls, and so had Jerusalem in her glory. The New Jerusalem must, in like manner, be surrounded and preserved by a broad wall of nonconformity to the world, and separation from its customs and spirit. The tendency of these days break down the holy barrier, and make the distinction between the church and the world merely nominal. Professors are no longer strict and Puritanical, questionable literature is read on all hands, frivolous pastimes are currently indulged, and a general laxity threatens to deprive the Lord's peculiar people of those sacred singularities which separate them from sinners. It will be an ill day for the church and the world when the proposed amalgamation shall be complete, and the sons of God and the daughters of men shall be as one: then shall another deluge of wrath be ushered in. Beloved reader, be it your aim in heart, in word, in dress, in action to maintain the broad wall, remembering that the friendship of this world is enmity against God.
The broad wall afforded a pleasant place of resort for the inhabitants of Jerusalem, from which they could command prospects of the surrounding country. This reminds us of the Lord's exceeding broad commandments, in which we walk at liberty in communion with Jesus, overlooking the scenes of earth, and looking out towards the glories of heaven. Separated from the world, and denying ourselves all ungodliness and fleshly lusts, we are nevertheless not in prison, nor restricted within narrow bounds; nay, we walk at liberty, because we keep his precepts. Come, reader, this evening walk with God in his statutes. As friend met friend upon the city wall, so meet thou thy God in the way of holy prayer and meditation. The bulwarks of salvation thou hast a right to traverse, for thou art a freeman of the royal burgh, a citizen of the metropolis of the universe.

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)
