My name 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 recent truths
Disgraced former FBI chief has been gifted money. Former acting Director off the FBI, Andrew McCabe has been given special benefits despite corruption at the FBI. He had been fired in 2018 after tanking an investigation into Hillary Clinton after his wife had been paid by Clinton. McCabe's reward for failure of duty may be a million dollars
Exemplary marine officer convicted of trumped up charges following whistle blowing. He has pled guilty on a plea deal to charges. Lt Colonel Stuart Scheller has been fined and given a letter of reprimand after correctly calling out senior administration over the Afghan withdrawal debacle. Scheller loses his career over the injustice.
A fourteen year old boy who was declared to be dead from COVID was killed by brain cancer? The precise truth of this is unknown, because although we know a newspaper headline promoted a lie told by authorities that the boy died from COVID when he did not, they now assert there is privacy when there was not. Consider that Facebook, the media and Twitter keep the fake news while persecuting those telling the truth as it becomes known.
We are being lied to. But not by everyone. Our nations and their justice machinery are not broken, but damaged. Things are bad, but they are supposed to be bad, rather than merely breaking. We can't give up. We must reject the liars, and remove them from public office, and prosecute them lawfully. Things can get better, but we must persevere or risk losing hope. We must not fight the Devil by playing the Devil's game. Rather we must resist the Devil by being free. There is no law against doing what is right. Their utter depravity kills us. They target us and they seek to restrain us. But while the greatest among us a hundred years ago has died, their legacy has not. That which we are, we are. Lockdowns were ineffective in dealing with COVID. Effective medication has been denied whole populations. Herd immunity will prevail. Fraud deleteriously affected recent elections around the world. But, Democracy will prevail. Our oppressors will pass. For us to win, we must assert our freedoms. For us to lose, we must willingly surrender our freedoms forever. Our children will have to pay back our debt. We must sacrifice now so that they can. That means telling truth to power. That means pointing up when when some get confused and lose their way. Stand by the one who sacrificed their pension and freedoms to speak out. Prosecute the ones forgiven by a debauched and self interested administration. Vote for those who help you exercise your freedom. Don't wait for free speech. Exercise free speech.

My name is David Daniel Ball I'm a teacher with three decades experience teaching math to high school kids.I also work with first graders and kids in between first grade and high school. I know the legends of why Hypatia's dad is remembered through his contribution to Math theory. And I know the legend of why followers of Godel had thought he had disproved God's existence.
I'm not a preacher, but I am a Christian who has written over 28 books all of which include some reference to my faith. Twelve blog books on world history and current affairs, detailing world events , births and marriages on each day of the year, organised by month. Twelve books on the background to and history of Bible Quotes. One Bible quote per day for a year. An intro to a science fiction series I'm planning, post apocalyptic cyber punk. An autobiography with short story collections.
I'm known in Australia for my failure as a whistleblower over the negligence death of a school boy. I had reported the issue responsibly and had not known I'd blown the whistle. The embarrassed left wing government had responded by imposition of a nationwide ban on the use of peanut butter in canteens, despite failing to address the issue of peanut allergy appropriately.
I've been de-platformed on Facebook and twitter despite not being an activist. Twitter did not like me asking for Obama to face justice in 2011. FB gave no specific reason for removing me following Jan 6th 2021 in Washington DC where a policeman killed an unarmed woman, so a crowd would know he was in control.

=== From 2017 ===
Don't give up on hope. Fight to live. Life is sweet. Life is worth it. There is enough tragedy which will end it, but every day you can live and suck the marrow out of life. Unless you are a left winger and celebrate death. In Victoria, Premier Dan Andrews is trying to provide certainty to death by passing a bill for euthanasia. Advocates claim it is safe from abuse. Overseas studies show that wherever implemented it has been abused. It is not the terminally ill who are using it, but the sad and lonely. Killing sad and lonely people is not the appropriate response to their problems. Euthanasia is only good for the democratic process which will end Dan Andrews ALP government in Victoria. The bill is on a knife edge in the Victorian parliament with the ALP deputy leader suggesting an amendment which might stymie it. Or might not.
Another 'death worshipper' is the unlikely Bow Bergdahl, former Taliban detainee. Bergdahl was a private who walked out of the US army base, disgusted at how the army was being run. He was captured by Taliban and used as a pawn and Obama traded some Gitmo detainees for Bergdahl's freedom. It is said US soldiers died looking for Bergdahl. It is also suggested that Taliban targeted US troops in the months following Bergdahl's capture. Young people get confused by politics, the press don't help and Obama sent the wrong signals whenever he could. Service in Iraq was a good thing. Atrocities are not. But Bow did not detail atrocities, but referenced them in an email to his dad before deserting. Bow left after he did not like new platoon sergeants. Bow claimed he knew of atrocities leaving him sick, like running over Afghan youths in armoured vehicles. But, maybe there s no difference between accidents, and deaths of combatants? Bow's solution was not a good one.
The left celebrate death and abandon people in need. As with giving $100 trillion to corrupt AGW hysterics, and taking it from the world's poorest. Turnbull has a plan to contribute to the $100 trillion through a carbon tax. It will make power more expensive, but Turnbull says it will be cheaper. Power is set to falter in Vitoria this summer because of bad government policy. But outrageous has been the banning of a halloween costume because it was named to be Anne Frank. The outrageous exploitation of Anne must stop. She was abandoned by the left when by acting, she might have been saved. The outfit is ok, but the association is wrong.
The ALP are failing in Victoria, as a third member resigns under corruption allegations regarding expenses. Dan Andrews government is running out of puff, but the election is still some 400 days away. So Andrews is launching his energy into renewal, by supporting banning plastic shopping bags. Banning plastic bags won't help anyone or anything, but can make Dan feel better even though he can't kill anyone yet. Note the irony, Andrews supports euthanasia but opposes capital punishment.
Harm minimisation fails as drugs take a toll. Trump is expected to act soon on the issue, declaring that every month the US is experiencing a 911 from drug deaths. But it isn't only death which scars drug users.
The #MeToo hashtag is getting a workout post Weinstein. I am a sex abuse victim, my childhood, such as it was, was ended by a family friend, and exploited by my mother. I've been abandoned by family. I have sympathy for the actresses and hopefuls exploited by Weinstein. I may not agree with them on their politics, but I do not feel they deserved the abuse.
Trade Union corruption in Australia is extensive. Unions have tax free income, control superannuation funds and have un-policed corrupt control of building development, making Australia the most expensive place in the word to build infrastructure. Note the corruption of the UN who elected to HRC Qatar, Congo and Pakistan. Three excellent places to oversee women's rights?
Diwali, the Indian festival of Lights, New Year, has begun. May your year be prosperous and blessed.

=== from 2016 ===
It was a quiet moment the evening of the last presidential election when a mainstream journalist told me they were frightened of Romney winning, as they thought he must. One would never have known it from the impenetrable wall that was the front mainstream journalists had put forward. Romney was an unknown quantity to the media, as they had campaigned against him without looking at who he was. They had made much of his religion, but they hadn't considered how healthy it would be to have a GOP President who wasn't from the mainstream Christian lobby. But they portrayed Romney as being weird. Romney is a GOP insider who could have been trusted to run a GOP administration which would aim to cut spending. But the mainstream media only put forward a scare campaign. Obama was reelected in 2012 without his policy agenda being vetted. And the same is happening now for Hillary.
A player in the media campaign is Julian Assange with Wikileaks. Another in Russia is Snowden. Exactly what Snowden is doing right now is not known. He may be leaking to Wikileaks. Thing is neither of these figures are reliable to the public. All they can do is expose details that need to be weighed and understood. In the past, mainstream media have not used material from Wikileaks responsibly. People have died, innocent people, people unrelated to the material leaked, when rumour and innuendo from low level political cables was leaked. And around the world, Islamo fascists felt entitled to run amok. Not much need be said for Islamo fascists to run amok. In fact, mainstream media seems to support Islamo fascists with a steady diet of hand wringing over lots of things that aren't true, related to same sex marriage, US culture, US army activity, AGW, Monsanto, nuclear power, Palestinian terrorism, and many things beside that are often made up. The former Soviet Union used to run the peace movement which US Democrats tapped into with mainstream media to weaken GOP Presidential government. Compare the outrage of Nixon deleting less than twenty minutes of audio tape and the silence of Hillary deleting her emails. Only, Nixon had had authority, whereas Hillary had not. But in each case a Democrat led congress provided spin.
Assange admitted that his leaks were why the US Government wanted to kill him. Only the US Government did not want any such thing. But Hillary might have. The leaks now harm the Clinton campaign. But Assange is not doing the people a favour. He is acting as a gatekeeper just as the mainstream media have. The character of Hillary is known by those who follow politics. One does not even have to have watched Fox to follow that balanced service's work. How long has Assange sat on what he now leaks? Maybe if US media functioned without bias hen the Obama administration would not be so unbalanced and Hillary would not now be the threat she is, because Democrats would have thrown up a better candidate. But for the media, this is tribal. They want, because they want. Principle does not matter. I don't expect to hear from that journalist again, this time around. But I bet you he is sad, and fearful. He does not know who Trump is, but he expects Trump to win. But he would never report that.
I suggest Red Gum ward vote for David Daniel Ball. And, after asking your local councillor about their views on Trump, Same Sex Marriage and Greyhounds, try and find out what it is they will do to make garbage collection cheaper and more efficient. Ask how they will make business more profitable. Ask what they will do to help address crime. Ask what they will do to improve public transport issues locally.

The poor pay for Green Activism. Every dollar spent on supporting Green projects which would have, in other ways, been invested, denies a poor person in the world an opportunity to not be poor. Some have said it is terrible how poor people are exploited by business. That is nothing compared to the soul destroying poverty for those who cannot work from loss of opportunity. Because businesses had to be destroyed feed Green monsters that are inefficient and wasteful. A solar powered car park is promoted as an answer to normal bitumen, concrete and steel. Only the price tag means that over ten thousand such car parks won't be built. But the monster might pay for itself in a few hundred years. Or people are asked to spend thousands on solar power which does not even take them away from the power grid. So their money is gone but the savings are minimal .. which means others don't get value from the money .. it shrinks the economy. And poor people suffer.

From 2014
Greatness cannot be measured, but is clearly seen. The divide caused by politics between opposing parties means friendships rarely cross the divide and the many slights leave a bitter taste. It is unimaginable that Gillard or Rudd would contact a Liberal identity when they had long retired and were facing their final days in a nursing home. "Sorry about calling you a mincing poodle or claiming that you were an ugly misogynist" doesn't sound right. Yet Mr Howard did not have the style of personal abuse. He wasn't a great friend of Mr Cohen, but respected him, and gave the former ALP Minister a call. And they joked about times past.
Leftwing without a matching right
Victoria's desalination plant, which has produced no water, will have cost $2 billion to Victorians by the end of next financial year. The plant isn't needed because AGW alarmists lied about the science. Meanwhile, ABC claims world is heating substantially, but that it just can't be measured because our instruments aren't up to it. According to measurement theory, they should be accurate to within half of one degree with mercury thermometers alone. According to those measures in Sydney homes, there is no global warming at the moment and has not been for some sixteen years. Gillard blames ALP for her failure to support Israel when she was PM. She has previously blamed Jews for not having a strong enough lobby. Maybe if she had shared her slush with them? Plibersek is opposing Shorten over ALP policy. But neither want anything worthwhile for the public. Gerard Henderson collects a long list of ABC bias. Professional activists are costing the public billions of dollars in challenges to public policy. The money could have gone to schools, hospitals ..
Foreign affairs
Fight for Democracy in Hong Kong shows that Taiwan cannot reconcile while the government is communist. India agrees with Abbott that cheap coal is lifesaving for industry. Bishop wins pledge from Putin over MH17. Legal observers at G20 will be looking at police, but not activists.
International fights
WHO blames itself for failing over Ebola outbreak. Terrorists claim that Burqa issues are causing them to kill. Them cross dressers become fierce when denied their cover.
From 2013
NSW forest fires are a direct result of ALP policy to not back burn. Fires are natural to rural NSW, some indigenous life is reliant on it. Having parks is nice, but being able to coexist and prosper is essential. ALP Green policy denies coexistence. People are dying from out of control fires. hundreds of houses lost yesterday, and it isn't yet summer. Another reason for the rich outback is the substantial rain from the last two years. The outback is very green, at the moment. And it hasn't been safely maintained.
Global warming is guilty of: fewer winter deaths; lower energy costs; better agricultural yields; probably fewer droughts; maybe richer biodiversity. It is a little-known fact that winter deaths exceed summer deaths — not just in countries like Britain but also those with very warm summers, including Greece.... Thankfully, although billions of dollars has been spent fighting it, the fight has been ineffective. The planet wont be saved by throwing away money, but it will make Adam Bandt smile.
Another fight is that against censorship of the press. This fight is being lead by the left wing mainstream press who favour censorship.
The working ALP motto seems to be paraphrasing that of the Australian Democrats "Calling each other bastards." There is a press award available for calling Mr Abbott a bastard, but nothing for excellence in reporting news.
In the US mainstream press are applauding Obama for failing to act to end the government stand down. Obama failed to negotiate. GOP made their point effectively. Now the press have to massage the truth in the lead up to the mid term elections.
