10th Oct Review of Historical and Current Affairs

My names is David Daniel Ball and I am Voice DDB dot locals dot com a voice of freedom supporting freedom around the world for all peoples. I write on historical and current affairs. I look for the conservative voice where mainstream media eschews it. Around the world media espouses liberalism orthodoxy and proclaims a history of liberalism that never happened. Liberalism of today is based on repeated lies that have been accepted from the past. 

Consider these historical truths
Who opposed slavery in Biblical times? Who opposed slavery in Great Britain? Who opposed Slavery in USA? Who gave votes to women in NZ? Who gave votes to women in Great Britain? Who gave votes to women in USA? Who brought in civil rights in England? Who brought in civil rights in USA? Who brought in civil rights in Australia? 

If your answer to these truths is conservatives over liberals, you miss the point. Conservatism and Leftism are modern concepts. The ancient dialog of Plato was not between conservatism and leftism. However the dialog has morphed and flipped over time, coming to be that today. And the so called centre point is the cutting edge. Whomever owns the centre point has an advantage. It is rhetoric today that attributes that to leftism. But, leftists oppose progress and embrace reflexive activism. 

Conservatism versus leftism evolved from the English civil wars between puritans like Cromwell and royalists. Tories and Whigs each supported the crown. Over time, however, Tories would broadly support the Crown, while Whigs became more enamoured with so called progressive ideas. The French Revolution would formalise the concept of leftism and rightism. The revolutionary council of France had had conservatives on the right, and radicals on the left. 

In the last two hundred years, we have had progressives embracing slavery and killing conservatives who opposed it. Progressives opposed votes for women as they did votes for blacks. Progressive parties would exploit minorities as they claimed to serve them. Black support for Democrats today dates back to FDR promising them more than he delivered with his 'new deal.' Who thinks now that fatherless unemployed families leads to prosperity? My father, coming to NYC in 1963 would catch taxi cabs often driven by Jewish dads who proudly displayed images of their children studying to be in University, often becoming doctors or lawyers. Meeting a black beggar, he might ask why they don't drive a taxi. "Taxis don't pay enough. We want real jobs." "But if you work in a taxi, your children could go to university and get those jobs." "If they want to drive taxis, they can." 

So think on these historical truths, who bungled WW2 and firebombed Berlin and nuked cities twice? Who left us an unending war in a divided Korea? Who bombed Yugoslavia rather than sending in troops? Who arrested Noriega the drug dealer? Who overthrows dictators to let the people run their own government? Who gives arms to terrorists? Who endorsed Ho Chi Minh or Pol Pot? Not every GOP is worthy of respect, many are RINO. But whom among Dems has not supported terrorism? Which Dem has not supported crippling corruption which steals $trillions from the world economy? Which Dem has not called baby killing a virtue? 

Whenever GOP do well, press claim that everyone is corrupt. When GOP stumble, press claim that Dem are strong. We need a free voice to discover nuance. Welcome to Voice DDB.

Today is the anniversary of an unfair fight which changed the world forever. The Battle of Karbala in 680 AD pitted a caravan of 110 being slaughtered by some thirty thousand. The thirty thousand were following the established but illegitimate rule of Yazidi. Husayn ibn Ali was a descendent of Mohammed and a son of Fatimah, Mohammed's daughter who was the only one to survive to adulthood.  Yazidi was the son of a usurper whom had promised to not promote his son. But the guy with all the men won. Husayn had had a six month old son who was also beheaded following the battle. It is said by some that an angel intervened and replaced Husayn with another. The result of the battle is the schism between Sunni and Shia.

Don't give up on hope. Today is the anniversary of an unfair fight which changed the world forever. The Battle of Karbala in 680 AD pitted a caravan of 110 being slaughtered by some thirty thousand. The thirty thousand were following the established but illegitimate rule of Yazidi. Husayn ibn Ali was a descendent of Mohammed and a son of Fatimah, Mohammed's daughter who was the only one to survive to adulthood.  Yazidi was the son of a usurper whom had promised to not promote his son. But the guy with all the men won. Husayn had had a six month old son who was also beheaded following the battle. It is said by some that an angel intervened and replaced Husayn with another. The result of the battle is the schism between Sunni and Shia. 

Tony Abbott has spoken brilliantly and at length in London on Climate change. But pigs with their snouts in a $100 trillion trough can't see the truths spoken. Milo has owned channel 10 abusers who labeled him a pedophile advocate. So Channel 10 assembled a panel to discuss him, without him, the next morning, throwing around the same abuse. 

However the prize of the day goes to the Age which published an article claiming inequity for disabled kids in private schools getting too much public money. The Age did not say the children, or their guardians, were investing the money wisely. They don't receive the money at all. The money goes to education bodies, not the schools. So the Age is campaigning against disabled kids getting their educational needs met. The Age has not said it, but an alternative is to nationalise private schools. It would lower academic standards and make resources more scarce for everyone. But then the government could seize the assets of those who once sent children to private schools. That would be fair, right? For those who do not know, what the funding does is provide for disabled students so they can be mainstreamed, and so not cost as much to the public purse. 
=== from 2016 ===
Waleed Aly 'has demolished Trump' is a headline from news.com.au. The article, written by Matt Young claims Waleed has editorialised against Trump in an effort to demolish him. It is then written that all Waleed has done is launch a hashtag saying Trump is not a laughing matter. Such is the near Sisyphus endurance trial (condemned to roll a boulder up a hill, and each day the boulder is at the bottom) faced by any conservative leader. The press will hate him even after he wins. They will hate him as his popularity soars. They will hate him until he crashes. And every achievement they will deny or despise. What is the anger felt to Nixon? To Reagan? To Bush? What is the 'love' felt for Kennedy? For LBJ? For Carter? For Clinton? For Obama? Bush fought wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and oversaw the beginnings of an Arab Spring of democracy. Bush increased debt by some $6 trillion. Obama has not fought a protracted war but conceded much. Obama debt is about $12 trillion. On any objective measure, relative to B43, O44 is a failure. But in the fantasy land of journalists, where it doesn't matter what people say or think, or what politicians do if they are tribally correct, Obama is laudable. But the reality, people that support Hillary are saying neither candidate is worthwhile. People who support Trump are saying he is human, but he will get the job done of #MakingAmericaGreatAgain

=== from 2015 ===
Malcolm Turnbull, who staged a coup recently and took the PM's position from a much better man, has cracked a joke at a Liberal Party meeting, and been booed. His joke was to claim the Liberal Party had no factions, even though it was a Liberal Party faction which had undermined Mr Abbott. Turnbull has an opportunity to do things Abbott wouldn't. But Abbott would not have done things recklessly stupid and Turnbull, in showing a difference between himself and Mr Abbott, may have fallen into the same trap Mr Shorten has continuously. Doing something stupid in order to be different. It is a reminder of the time when Rudd had been told that there was nothing effective Australia could do about climate change and he said "We have to do something. And Australians will understand that."At the moment, the poor leadership of Turnbull has angry and uneducated Australians marching against 'political violence.' Political violence which threatens to have stray children shooting random good people in the back of the head and taunting survivors shouting political slogans like "Allahu Akbar" while waiting to be killed by good people. Meanwhile, people whom have received the leadership which Turnbull has abrogated don't seem to understand that such terrorism bring Islam into disrepute, and were it to happen in the land of their birth, might result in them being killed by a decision of a sharia court, which is the usual sentence for bringing Islam into disrepute. 

For some, at the moment, the Sex Party has more credibility.
From 2014
Climate Change Alarmism
Climate scientists chose the top 50 models of climate change and 95% of those models showed the Antarctic Sea Ice would decrease over the next thirty years. Instead, the sea ice has increased to record levels never before measured by satellite. Dr Guy Williams, a liar, says “In some ways it’s a bit counterintuitive for people trying to understand how global warming is affecting our polar regions, but in fact it’s actually completely in line with how climate scientists expect Antarctica and the Southern Ocean to respond..” All government is about choices in using resources. Either money is spent efficiently on power, or it is wasted, and denied for other purposes. As ANU has found. 

Great moments in Violence
A father and son in Sydney's North West have gone to a fight set up on Facebook and are now fighting for their lives. ALP has plans to pay for the war against ISIL. They will take it from our children. Idiots are arrested after trespassing on ASIO grounds. They were lucky not to be killed. Compassion, like that given by Italy's socialists has killed 3072 migrants so far this year. 

Injustice issues
Mr Bolt has been denied justice by a wrongful ruling on his case over 18c. He is not alone in facing injustice. I too have not been able to get satisfaction. Only there is a media black out on my issue which goes with an illegal employment black list. And while I'm sympathetic overAndrew's issue, and support him in his call to overturn the bad law of 18c, I sorely feel I have been sold down the river. Meanwhile senior ABC personnel proudly announce they abuse the ABC charter. However, they aren't alone in their bias. However, Channel 7 or Channel 9 don't rely on tax payer funds for their bias. 
From 2013
Police giving way to antisocial criminals is not good. Pats on the back to the Victoria Police for their improvement. But why was it ever otherwise? Police living in fear of litigation for their work in keeping the peace does not benefit the community, and never has. It comes back to the role of policing under government policy. and ALP policy is not friendly on good people. Good people are hurt as bad people run rampant. Consider that, when you think about defending the Green Pirates who assaulted a Russian installation on the high seas. Apparently those pirates had drugs too .. possibly recreational. I hope they can relax in their prison cells in Siberia. There is no such thing as a safe gangland shooting, and the bikie war being waged around Australia has links to ALP policy. From borders welcoming desperate people who risk death and pay pirates substantially well, to migrants who view good people as worthy of contempt and death for their religion, race or ethnicity. Through to policies that are soft on criminals and despise victims.

Many socialist leaders around the world are rich and privileged. France nearly had a socialist PM who thought nothing of using hard working migrant women for sex. It doesn't represent core conservative values, but as a protest against conservative values it is offensive to good people in the community. One doesn't want a PM who exercises power in that way, indulging in pleasuring themselves at the expense of their nation. Like Obama playing golf on the US dime, as he tries to foist a health system that would include the poorest ten million people without actually hiring a single doctor, but by vastly enlarging a bureaucracy. The truth is that one cannot own what they cannot afford. The GOP might meekly pass the bad bill, as Democrats beg them to, but eventually the US would have to stop .. and many more than 10 million would miss out. Obama wants Obamacare as a legacy, but it will be debt and despair instead.

Want to hear a bad joke? Try the Uniting Church. They have embraced the poor by becoming poor themselves .. I read somewhere God rewards those who are good with the detail ..
