Bairnsdale Conservative: Sun 17th October 2021 Current Affairs

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.

From 2017. Greg Hunt has backed some loopy left wing ideals in the past. Hunt 'cares' about the environment and is willing to spend over $100 trillion of tax payer money to lower world temperature by less than a degree in a hundred years time. He intends the money to come from the world's poorest. Today Hunt has said he would never approve of nicotine fuelled vapes to encourage people to quit smoking. Hunt claims that no research shows people who vape quit smoking, and so vaping is merely worse than smoking. Only, smoking is legal, but vaping is not. As a public service announcement, I am advising Hunt that there is a thing called the placebo effect. And it is measured in science. And it works. The science is in.

A meme is circulating of actresses hugging Weinstein. As if that in any way excuses him. It doesn't. Victims of sex abuse need to be successful too. And to be successful, many had to hold the devil. And we will soon hear stories of women who never got to be successful, but were ruined by Weinstein. I dislike many that supported Weinstein's politics, but that never meant I would accept what Harvey did. And I have a personal back ground story that gives me direction with this. As a child, I was raped by a family friend. But because I'm so loathed by many, my abusers were forgiven by my family, as I've been outcast. I don't need to prove myself to anyone, or explain what I have done. And neither do Weinstein's victims. And those that are successful, I'm sure it was despite Weinstein, not because of it. He used them. He did not help them. Calling them bad names like prostitutes and claiming they were well rewarded for their services is wrong. But I think some are very jealous of the success of some very shallow people.

From 2016. The Loss of Bob Day to Family First and Australia is large. After Steven Fielding did a dummy spit to help Kevin Rudd cover up the gang rape of an Aboriginal girl in detention, Family First had little credibility. To be fair, Fielding had been told by Family First not to vote that way. Subsequently, judges told Campbell Newman that Rudd was allowed to shred evidence of the rape, because it wasn't for personal gain and he was acting for government and such corruption has been accepted by the voter. Bob Day has promoted free speech and defended cultural assets. However, as a bankrupt related to a business interest collapsing, Day has to leave parliament. It didn't turn out that way for Craig Thomson when he lied to Australia about his activity as a senior unionist for Australia's poorest employees.

Who will defend free speech in Australia? Turnbull counselled Abbott against it, and Abbott had to put it on the back burner. Turnbull promised he would bring it forward, but hasn't. ALP does not want free speech, wanting to exploit their advantage of corruption. Bob Day was willing to sponsor a member's bill. An ALP, Greens and NXT dominated senate will prevent free speech. Turnbull promised he would communicate bills better than Abbott. However it is apparent that Turnbull is communicating that he does not value free speech.

The HRC is persecuting a cartoonist, following on from their persecution of university students denied access to a computer based on their race. There is nothing more important than free speech. We cannot discuss what we need to without it. It isn't that the law is bad, but also people in position of responsibility are not responsible. So that the HRC should be dismantled.

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.

From 2015. Andrew Bolt wrote a column reporting accusations of international students cheating and free loading. The accusation is levelled at Chinese students. The situation is described as widespread purchasing of essays and exploiting white students to give presentations in group work. While it is possible that some individuals cheat, many that try are caught and the issue is not widespread, although protections need to be maintained to make sure it is prevented when it occurs.

What many people are unaware of is that university students have never had a particularly high standard, but for serious academics. The teaching profession is an excellent example where the skills of the graduate is much less than the demands of the job. But, that is ok. Workers learn. The regimen teacher students undergo at university is not to make them an experienced teacher but to equip them to undergo professional development. In Australia, beginning school teachers used to have to buy a copy of Gladman's Control and Teaching before they fronted their first class. It included timetables and lesson plans. Universities want group work to be real and, while some may miss the learning opportunity and not do the work, those who don't learn don't progress overall, and it has nothing to do with one assignment or course. The system is more resilient than that. But it is a bad look.

There are rich international students. I remember one from the mid eighties who was from Indonesia. He spent many years studying second year engineering before returning to Indonesia to run the family business. The Australian system worked. I know many poor international students who are outstanding, dedicated and hard working. Australia exploits them. But if one wants to see the standards and compare them to years gone by, they need to look at the top students now, and compare them with the top students of the past. Our international students are high achieving and return much to Australia.

But, the people who are spreading the anecdotes of race envy?

For some, at the moment, the Sex Party has more credibility.

From 2014. Culture wars

The doormat called Hillary gave a $225000 speech calling on cheaper education. A 'free' Leunig calendar has been cut from SMH and AGE and so an anti semite has a smaller voice. Shameful Flanagan feels shame at living in Australia. Flanagan is a fan of a jew hater who likes to shoot at dark skinned people, David Hicks. Betty Farelly bespeaks a powerful weapon against terrorism .. terror of artists, and young girls reading books. Marchers fight each other as the organisation March Australia dissociates from two whom have been unable to work with volunteers without fighting. Palmer's wife is a PUP candidate for a Queensland seat. A leftwing poet calls women 'whores' before degenerating further in emails. Mia Freedman apologises for calling gays and lesbians pedophiles. ABC appoints a panel of stoats to judge rabbits on the issue of science presentation in the ABC. An Idiot Australian journalist joins Pravda.

Great Moments in Science

Ebola is native to Africa, but funeral customs lend themselves to transmitting Ebola. Ebola is spread through body fluids, mucous, sweat, tears and so on. The body cleaning rituals and love touches are sufficiently intimate to spread Ebola through families attending a corpse, as has been seen. That has to change to control the epidemic. And it is going to upset a lot of people. Meanwhile, seven months ago Malaysian air flight MH370 disappeared, and a NASA trained scientist feels they can access historical satellite data and follow the vapour trail. Authorities haven't footed the bill yet. Neither have they located the craft. The data could be sensitive, crossing several nations with military issues.

From 2013. ALP vs Labor is a bit like spy vs spy in Mad Magazine. The media tends to fold on the dotted lines to show what might seem reasonable to a poorly educated, highly ignorant person. But remove the media filter and a tragically hilarious image emerges with leading identities with hands in honey pots and pork barrels, highly critical members forgetting to wear clothing and not having the power of invisibility. Former members wanting to speak out when they were silent when they had power. Media examine Abbott's expenses but have ignored Williamson's corruption. But it isn't limited to Williamson. But by divorcing Williamson, his ex wife manufactures money .. or turns nurses upside down and shakes them so change falls out of their pockets.

One tragedy called policy under the ALP was to drown desperate people who had been instructed to pay pirates if they wanted a good life in Australia. Former foreign minister Bob Carr doesn't even say sorry while suggesting he made a mistake. One blessing for the ALP is that they have an endless supply of fools.

US has arrived at a budget deal. Press are lauding Obama for not blinking, but he does not come out well from this. Obama was the one who failed to walk to a negotiating table on any occasion. This will not be forgotten next year at election.

ABC Fact checkers are making up detail on Carbon pricing around the world. And what is the fact surrounding Plibersek and sexism?

Global warming, or a mistake as a new data point from Texas reads 71 degrees celsius? If it isn't weeded out, it will 'inform' the next IPCC report. Meaning more middle class people can call themselves victims. ABC will probably give themselves an award for inflating a mistake of their facts.

It is a standard remedy of parliament that when a politician's platform is untenable they resign. The ALP don't. I did in '07, from teaching. I challenge anyone to say why I shouldn't now resume teaching again? Or be compensated. Mr O'Farrell, Mr Abbott, can you hear me?

Intro to Locals.com

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 the Bible, 1 Thessalonians 4

Living to Please God

As for other matters, brothers and sisters, we instructed you how to live in order to please God, as in fact you are living. Now we ask you and urge you in the Lord Jesus to do this more and more. For you know what instructions we gave you by the authority of the Lord Jesus.

It is God’s will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality; that each of you should learn to control your own body in a way that is holy and honorable, not in passionate lust like the pagans, who do not know God; and that in this matter no one should wrong or take advantage of a brother or sister. The Lord will punish all those who commit such sins, as we told you and warned you before. For God did not call us to be impure, but to live a holy life. Therefore, anyone who rejects this instruction does not reject a human being but God, the very God who gives you his Holy Spirit.

Now about your love for one another we do not need to write to you, for you yourselves have been taught by God to love each other. And in fact, you do love all of God’s family throughout Macedonia. Yet we urge you, brothers and sisters, to do so more and more, and to make it your ambition to lead a quiet life: You should mind your own business and work with your hands, just as we told you, so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody.

Believers Who Have Died

Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope. For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him. According to the Lord’s word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. Therefore encourage one another with these words.

On what basis can OSHA craft such an intricate framework based on difficult questions of faith? And they have no delegated authority to decide whether a person's beliefs warrant an accommodation. OSHA inspectors check workplaces for hazards, not beliefs. The Congress in 1970 that enacted OSHA said nothing at all about this matter.

https://rumble.com/vbj8bb-desperado-by-oddball.html

"Desperado" is a soft rock song by the Eagles, an American rock band. Group members Glenn Frey and Don Henley wrote the song. It first appeared on the 1973 album Desperado, and has later appeared on numerous compilation albums although it was not a single.

Don't give up on hope. Lisa Wilkinson is one reason I don't watch the Today Show. Even when I still had a tv I had stopped watching it. She is allowed to be stridently left wing. I'm allowed to not watch. Wilkinson had wanted equal pay with her male counterpart on the Today Show. Karl Stephanovic gets about $2 million a year. Wilkins had been paid $1.1 million a year. Wilkinson is not on all the shows Stephanovic does. So channel 9 reputedly offered her an extra $700k a year. Wilkinson walked to join Channel 10's The Panel. I don't watch that either.

Some really awful people are paid a lot. The ABC interviewed Hillary Clinton who shrieked Russians but never explained "what happened" when she lost the Presidential bid. Hillary must feel it was rigged. Because it was rigged to favour her in the debates. It was rigged to favour her in the primaries. And she got a lot of votes in the highest crime areas in the US. The ABC journalist failed to ask basic questions any competent journalist would. How come HRC is so sure the election was rigged, unless it had not been fair? Trump has to drain the swamp, once done, where will HRC be? Prison?

Greg Hunt has backed some loopy left wing ideals in the past. Hunt 'cares' about the environment and is willing to spend over $100 trillion to lower world temperature by less than a degree in a hundred years time. He intends the money to come from the world's poorest. Today Hunt has said he would never approve of nicotine fuelled vapes to encourage people to quit smoking. Hunt claims that no research shows people who vape quit smoking, and so vaping is merely worse than smoking. Only, smoking is legal, but vaping is not. As a public service announcement, I am advising Hunt that there is a thing called the placebo effect. And it is measured in science. And it works. The science is in.

A meme is circulating of actresses hugging Weinstein. As if that in any way excuses him. It doesn't. Victims of sex abuse need to be successful too. And to be successful, many had to hold the devil. And we will soon hear stories of women who never got to be successful, but were ruined by Weinstein. I dislike many that supported Weinstein's politics, but that never meant I would accept what Harvey did. And I have a personal back ground story that gives me direction with this. As a child, I was raped by a family friend. But because I'm so loathed by many, my abusers were forgiven by my family, as I've been outcast. I don't need to prove myself to anyone, or explain what I have done. And neither do Weinstein's victims. And those that are successful, I'm sure it was despite Weinstein, not because of it. He used them. He did not help them. Calling them bad names like prostitutes and claiming they were well rewarded for their services is wrong. But I think some are very jealous of the success of some very shallow people.

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)
