Tue 24th August 2021 Current Affairs

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 6

Lawsuits Among Believers

If any of you has a dispute with another, do you dare to take it before the ungodly for judgment instead of before the Lord’s people? Or do you not know that the Lord’s people will judge the world? And if you are to judge the world, are you not competent to judge trivial cases? Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more the things of this life! Therefore, if you have disputes about such matters, do you ask for a ruling from those whose way of life is scorned in the church? I say this to shame you. Is it possible that there is nobody among you wise enough to judge a dispute between believers? But instead, one brother takes another to court—and this in front of unbelievers!

The very fact that you have lawsuits among you means you have been completely defeated already. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be cheated? Instead, you yourselves cheat and do wrong, and you do this to your brothers and sisters. Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

Sexual Immorality

“I have the right to do anything,” you say—but not everything is beneficial. “I have the right to do anything”—but I will not be mastered by anything. You say, “Food for the stomach and the stomach for food, and God will destroy them both.” The body, however, is not meant for sexual immorality but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body. By his power God raised the Lord from the dead, and he will raise us also. Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ himself? Shall I then take the members of Christ and unite them with a prostitute? Never! Do you not know that he who unites himself with a prostitute is one with her in body? For it is said, “The two will become one flesh.” But whoever is united with the Lord is one with him in spirit.

Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a person commits are outside the body, but whoever sins sexually, sins against their own body. Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.

=== From 2018 ===
Don't give up on hope. Some years ago, President Bush had sponsored a democratic vote in so called Palestine. UN involved themselves to ensure it was corrupt. Lots of publications disparaged the vote, saying no good could come of it. And no good has come of it. But that did not mean Bush was wrong to try. Obama worked very hard to ruin any positive outcome Bush had had in the middle east. And Obama is praised for that. But as I wrote at the time, the worst thing was not Hamas winning the vote (which they did, in places). Even had Fatah won everywhere, terrorists would still have been in office. The worst thing would be if the habit of voting died without taking root. I had much the same to say when Malcolm Turnbull rolled Abbott. With a little act of grace, Turnbull could have prosecuted a conservative agenda and been admired as a top Prime Minister. Turnbull even outlined a positive agenda. But then Turnbull failed every single one of his performance indicators and needlessly betrayed those who supported him from conservative and libertarian ranks. 

Before Abbott was rolled I sent him an email he and Credln read and forwarded to Justice. Justice lost it. I am frozen in limbo because of the hubris of Turnbull. There was every possibility that Dutton could have fixed that wrong. But those that lay their coats for Morrison may still want me burned. I can wear that if Morrison acts in the interests of the nation and ends the dalliance with AGW hysteria. We need dams built. We need a balanced budget. And we need to keep ALP out of office. 

Turnbull has left office disgracefully. He delayed a vote for Dutton so his chosen successor could get the job. It remains to be seen what choices Morrison will make. If he keeps Dutton and Abbott frozen out of cabinet, he will condemn the Libs to further infighting. Frydenberg as second was necessary to placate Turnbull's crowd. How about giving Abbott the environment, energy and treasury? How about giving Dutton, police or the military?

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. Williams has issued a press release saying the Abbott's road level crossing will be removed with sky-rail. The ALP are spending big on something the Libs could have fixed better. Every dollar the ALP spends on infrastructure which is badly planned, is a few more dollars that needs to be spent fixing it. They say "At least we are doing something" but in fact they are merely spending big and achieving little. 


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. Jerry Lewis passed recently. Old and blessed. His stage life was one of the great careers in show business. He teamed up with Dean Martin for over a decade of hits, and went on to perform variety. Lewis hosted fund raising for Muscular Dystrophy for 44 years, raising over $2 billion US. He had Jewish ethnicity and spoke highly of conservatives, and so was fair game for criticism from the press. He had children, including two adopted, and was a devoted family man. He hadn't wanted to die. He wanted to live for his family. After an accident almost left him paralysed in the late '60's, Lewis became addicted to pain killers. He overcame that. He was predeceased by a son who overdosed on drugs. He was a comedic genius. The world was blessed by what he gave. 

Hillary Clinton is releasing a book about how she came to lose her bid for Presidency. It had been a joke that Bill looked at a gas station attendant and said "Look honey. If you married him, you would not have been the wife of a President." And she replied (in the joke) "If I'd have married him, he'd have become President." Hubris meant Hillary felt she should have been given the Presidency. Were Hillary to admit her weakness, maybe we could gain valuable insights. Instead, Hillary blames Trump for standing too close to her in debate. Video shows he didn't. It is just like when Hillary dodged sniper fire. The truth is, Hillary nailed her brief on two counts. She almost was elected President. She was so awful that she became someone Democrats could blame for the defeat.

The abuse of NSW Premier Mike Baird is overstated criticism. So overstated that it is untrue. There are some who are grieved by the amendment to closing times of drinking establishments in the Cross. There are also some people who will lose out because of the shutting down of greyhound racing. But the viciousness of the campaigners is totally over the top. One younger brother of a one punch victim has suicided after the vicious campaigners targeted him. It is true no one is responsible for the choices of the suicide, but some have criminally overstepped the mark in campaigning for what they call their rights. People can still have a drink in Kings Cross. But the changes have meant that fewer are killed from drunken behaviour. Alcohol sales people can still work in regular hours. The greyhound racing industry in NSW was not managed appropriately. By closing it down, the corrupt elements who ruined it have been curtailed. Anyone who wants the industry back needs to explain how the crooks will be prevented from running it. Anyone who says it was not a problem might change their tune if their pets and children were tortured and killed. 
 
For some, at the moment, the Sex Party has more credibility.

Bolt forgets he lynched Bishop unconditionally to Burke. As a union leader, Shorten apparently had phantom members, who presumably did what he told them to do. Martin Ferguson admits that Unions have too much control of the ALP. Sadly too late as he no longer has a parliamentary seat. 

China may not be growing as much as the world would like, economically. Hockey is right to express need to cut taxes and spending. With an emphasis on cutting spending. Smaller government means better services. 

 Gang leader to exploit light sentence

Extreme left wing writer who has upset the left and is now facing market forces should be given a reprieve say some people he abused. 

Bolt lists examples of ABC partisan 'bias.'

AFL to be fined for abusing cheerleaders with a two fingered salute. He might have been treated differently if he had pretended to throw a spear instead.
From 2014
The federal government has everything against it, with a hostile senate and press willing to lie to deny legislation. And yet they are doing a great job despite it. They have almost completely stopped the inhumane people trade which killed and extorted desperate people while giving hope to terrorists around the world. The federal government of Mr Abbott would like to do more on border protection, but the senate won't let them and the media chortle with every death and inflate every perceived shortcoming. Earlier this week a judge lied from the bench about living arrangements and refused to correct the record when advised of the facts. And that judge is supposed to rule impartially on the issue. 

But the excellent governance is not merely border protection, federal police are becoming effective again, hospitals are more open to patients needs, schools are better directed to core curriculum. But you wouldn't know it from the reporting. Amazingly, the Opposition leader was accused of rape many years ago and the government did not crucify them over the issue, but allowed the courts to settle the issue (prosecutor decided there was no case to answer). Contrast that with how the hysterical media crucified Mr Abbott for winking on radio, or allegations that he punched a wall in his youth. Contrast that again with allegations Gillard had facilitated the theft of Union money and extortion from business when she was a partner of a law firm. And the media spoil the good work with false claims. The media are aware that federal government has little to do with schooling, and yet they lie about things the government is involved with. So that the meme is circulated saying the government has cut education just as more money is being spent. There is a compelling argument for reform of higher education, and yet the weasels of the media interview critics and rarely challenge their specious claims. A co-payment for medical service has been howled down. Possibly, the charge is intended as a bargaining chip to be disposed of. But it supports science research. Surely the ALP likes science research ... 

Reforms to nightlife have resulted in fewer violent episodes, fewer medical emergencies and, predictably, fewer sales of alcoholic beverages. However there is a solution the industry has not yet considered. Bars on boats. It is drink or drink. Or swim. Or something. Worth sleeping on. But don't ignore the advantages. With payments collected electronically, using a pin, there becomes a natural stop for when someone is too drunk and they forget their pin. There is no need for street sweeping. If the boat is packed tightly enough, no one can get lost. Closed circuit surveillance can provide loved ones with all they need to know. In the late eighteenth century Great Britain used to run similar things on the Thames. 

Meanwhile, the identity of the british national who cut off the head of a journalist and blamed Islam may be known. It is suspected of being a rap artist Abdel-Majed Abdel Bary. He is a 23 year old son of an Egyptian terrorist and is known to have left for Syria last year. He has posted images of himself holding severed heads. Maybe we can let ASADA investigate, if we really want justice.

Today's Old Testament reading: Psalm 113-115

1 Praise the LORD.

Praise the LORD, you his servants;
praise the name of the LORD.
2 Let the name of the LORD be praised,
both now and forevermore.
3 From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets,
the name of the LORD is to be praised.
4 The LORD is exalted over all the nations,
his glory above the heavens.
5 Who is like the LORD our God,
the One who sits enthroned on high,
who stoops down to look
on the heavens and the earth?

Today's New Testament reading: 1 Corinthians 6

Lawsuits Among Believers
1 If any of you has a dispute with another, do you dare to take it before the ungodly for judgment instead of before the Lord's people? 2 Or do you not know that the Lord's people will judge the world? And if you are to judge the world, are you not competent to judge trivial cases? 3 Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more the things of this life! 4Therefore, if you have disputes about such matters, do you ask for a ruling from those whose way of life is scorned in the church? 5 I say this to shame you. Is it possible that there is nobody among you wise enough to judge a dispute between believers? 6 But instead, one brother takes another to court-and this in front of unbelievers!
7 The very fact that you have lawsuits among you means you have been completely defeated already. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be cheated? 8 Instead, you yourselves cheat and do wrong, and you do this to your brothers and sisters. 9 Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men 10 nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God....

Morning

"The voice of weeping shall be no more heard."
Isaiah 65:19
The glorified weep no more, for all outward causes of grief are gone. There are no broken friendships, nor blighted prospects in heaven. Poverty, famine, peril, persecution, and slander, are unknown there. No pain distresses, no thought of death or bereavement saddens. They weep no more, for they are perfectly sanctified. No "evil heart of unbelief" prompts them to depart from the living God; they are without fault before his throne, and are fully conformed to his image. Well may they cease to mourn who have ceased to sin. They weep no more, because all fear of change is past. They know that they are eternally secure. Sin is shut out, and they are shut in. They dwell within a city which shall never be stormed; they bask in a sun which shall never set; they drink of a river which shall never dry; they pluck fruit from a tree which shall never wither. Countless cycles may revolve, but eternity shall not be exhausted, and while eternity endures, their immortality and blessedness shall co-exist with it. They are forever with the Lord. They weep no more, because every desire is fulfilled. They cannot wish for anything which they have not in possession. Eye and ear, heart and hand, judgment, imagination, hope, desire, will, all the faculties, are completely satisfied; and imperfect as our present ideas are of the things which God hath prepared for them that love him, yet we know enough, by the revelation of the Spirit, that the saints above are supremely blessed. The joy of Christ, which is an infinite fulness of delight, is in them. They bathe themselves in the bottomless, shoreless sea of infinite beatitude. That same joyful rest remains for us. It may not be far distant. Ere long the weeping willow shall be exchanged for the palm-branch of victory, and sorrow's dewdrops will be transformed into the pearls of everlasting bliss. "Wherefore comfort one another with these words."

Evening

"That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith."
Ephesians 3:17
Beyond measure it is desirable that we, as believers, should have the person of Jesus constantly before us, to inflame our love towards him, and to increase our knowledge of him. I would to God that my readers were all entered as diligent scholars in Jesus' college, students of Corpus Christi, or the body of Christ, resolved to attain unto a good degree in the learning of the cross. But to have Jesus ever near, the heart must be full of him, welling up with his love, even to overrunning; hence the apostle prays "that Christ may dwell in your hearts." See how near he would have Jesus to be! You cannot get a subject closer to you than to have it in the heart itself. "That he may dwell;" not that he may call upon you sometimes, as a casual visitor enters into a house and tarries for a night, but that he may dwell; that Jesus may become the Lord and Tenant of your inmost being, never more to go out.

Observe the words--that he may dwell in your heart, that best room of the house of manhood; not in your thoughts alone, but in your affections; not merely in the mind's meditations, but in the heart's emotions. We should pant after love to Christ of a most abiding character, not a love that flames up and then dies out into the darkness of a few embers, but a constant flame, fed by sacred fuel, like the fire upon the altar which never went out. This cannot be accomplished except by faith. Faith must be strong, or love will not be fervent; the root of the flower must be healthy, or we cannot expect the bloom to be sweet. Faith is the lily's root, and love is the lily's bloom. Now, reader, Jesus cannot be in your heart's love except you have a firm hold of him by your heart's faith; and, therefore, pray that you may always trust Christ in order that you may always love him. If love be cold, be sure that faith is drooping.

=== Message ===

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)

Editorials will appear in the "History in a Year by the Conservative Voice" series, starting with August, September, October, or at Amazon http://www.amazon.com/dp/1482020262/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_dVHPub0MQKDZ4 The kindle version is cheaper, but the soft back version allows a free kindle version.
