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.

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, Colossians 3
Living as Those Made Alive in Christ
Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.
Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry. Because of these, the wrath of God is coming. You used to walk in these ways, in the life you once lived. But now you must also rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips. Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator. Here there is no Gentile or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all, and is in all.
Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.
Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts. And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
Instructions for Christian Households
Wives, submit yourselves to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.
Husbands, love your wives and do not be harsh with them.
Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord.
Fathers, do not embitter your children, or they will become discouraged.
Slaves, obey your earthly masters in everything; and do it, not only when their eye is on you and to curry their favor, but with sincerity of heart and reverence for the Lord. Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving. Anyone who does wrong will be repaid for their wrongs, and there is no favoritism.

Here is a video I made Hello
"Hello" is a song by Lionel Richie. Taken as the third single from Richie's multi-platinum album Can't Slow Down, the song was released in 1984 and reached number one on three Billboard music charts: the pop chart (for two weeks), the R&B chart (for three weeks), and the adult contemporary chart (for six weeks). The song also went to number one on the UK Singles Chart. It is considered by some to be Richie's signature song.
The song is particularly memorable for the line "Hello, is it me you're looking for?". In an interview broadcast in the UK on Channel 4's Top 100 Number One Hits, Richie said he had been thanked by a large number of normally tongue-tied men who had proposed marriage after a slow dance to the song.

Don't give up on hope. A friend has asked the question "How many harassed Weinstein “victims” ended up rich and famous eh?" Which explains why evil festers. We live on hope. Weinstein was an open secret, yet someone like George Clooney can say he did not know and would not condone it. Also it turns out a comic who joked in an award ceremony had known and barbed home. Many of those marching vaginas against Trump may have known, but did not care because Weinstein is not a known conservative. Weinstein may yet be forgiven by the likes of Whoopi Goldberg who famously endorsed Roman Polanski. I bet Weinstein destroyed more careers than were made by him. I also bet that any actress that prospered, did so despite Weinstein. I once read that serial killers could get their victims to comply with their murder by 'offering hope' that by taking an action they can do better. So they would dig a ditch, tie themselves up, and allow what they might otherwise have fought for, because of hope. Fatty Arbuckle did not create the casting couch, neither will it end with Weinstein.
There is hope even for those lost seeking it. 1 Thessalonians 13-18 "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."
I loved the Joe Michael Straczynski Babylon 5 Season 3 ending "G'Quon wrote, 'There is a greater darkness than the one we fight. It is the darkness of the soul that has lost its way. The war we fight is not against powers and principalities, it is against chaos and despair. Greater than the death of flesh is the death of hope, the death of dreams. Against this peril we can never surrender. The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.'"
The Australian Liberal Party will experience all sorts of pain until Tony Abbott, or a suitable inheritor, is leader. The US GOP will experience lots of pain until they realise that Trump is an excellent President. The US Dems will suffer until they realise HRC was a lousy candidate. The one who offers hope is not the one, like Shorten or Obama, who claim that AGW threatens the world. The one who offers hope is the one who like Abbott and Trump point out that the world must turn as we seek to do what we can.

The death of a NZ woman who fell from a balcony while on a Tinder date with a creep is being heard in a QLD court. She was drunk and high and allegedly belligerent when the creep locked her on a balcony of his high rise apartment. It is natural to focus on the prurient detail. But the salient one is that he locked her on the balcony of his home when she was drunk and, in his defence testimony, acting irrationally. And she acted irrationally and died. I don't care that he is addicted to Tinder sex. I don't judge him for that. I am concerned at his depraved indifference to the welfare of someone in his home. Nothing I have heard of this guy leads me to want him to be free.
Meanwhile NSW has arrested two suspected of planning jihad with rifle bayonets. They were called 'brothers' by a hate preacher who has done time in a super max prison. One has to be cautious not to link the two alleged extremists with Islam they allegedly follow. The truth is we need the Islamic community to deny all three claims of faith. I love God, and were I to attempt something similar, I would want my church to disown me.
I am running on a secular platform because I want everyone to prosper. I oppose the almost religious fervour of environmentalists, but I like sound ideas that environmentalists might have. There are places in Dandenong where wind breaks, like trees, would be very good. Dandenong Council would not need WaterSeer, but a product which extracts water from the air and requires no power would be useful for some residents. It apparently can extract 37 litres a day and is scalable. They would be very useful in humid areas. The tiles outside Dandenong Plaza are beginning to be trip hazards. Whomever s in charge of the maintenance needs to maintain it.
In NSW, Premier Mike Baird has adjusted hours for sale of alcohol, extending it from 10pm to 12pm. Press are calling it an embarrassing back flip. Maybe the press has had too much sauce?
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.

A few years ago I made Picking Cotton ( http://youtu.be/4udS8SsnH_s ) as an attempt to raise awareness of youth dissociation from police. The left wing narrative that prizes anti social behaviour gets people killed. The subject I would focus on was a young police woman, Nicola Cotton from Louisiana, who had joined the force after Cyclone Katrina. She was a successful young constable, engaged and pregnant when she was tasked to arrest a suspected offender on her own. He overpowered her and took her gun and killed her with her sidearm and waited to be arrested by another policeman. I attempted to access seed funding for the project and was refused by a left wing local council which claimed the issue was not a youth problem in their locale. I made the video anyway, although it was not as good as what I might have achieved with backing. The video was appreciated by one US Police department. But the issue is not well addressed in international, Western world circles. Recently a drunk kid bullied a black officer on a train in Brisbane and the officer handled the racist abuse very well, but the giggling foul mouthed kid had a friend who filmed the abuse and posted it. The upshot is the kid says he could not remember what he had done, but he apologised for doing it and regretted it. No one has died from it. But it is ugly and unbecoming and not something to be prized.
Anti social behaviour is not always without pain. People are dying from drug and drunken fuelled single punch attacks. The issue of racial abuse was considered so serious that in Australia a provision was made in law, 18c, which can have people charged with racial vilification. Only it doesn't work that way. Journalist Andrew Bolt made a simple observation and was charged under 18c, and convicted of writing an article which had errors. The law had been misapplied to secure the conviction, Bolt could have appealed but did not have the money or the time to devote to it. But then nobody died from it. All that has happened is that people desperately in need have been denied funds by sponges who feel entitled. It really is the Labor way.
Reality TV gets it wrong over The Bachelor. A decent guy gave a girl he didn't love a $58k ring. He didn't sleep with her. He told her in person he wouldn't pursue a relationship with her. He seems a stand up guy. But the vagaries of reality tv means he will be fielding hate mail for a long time to come. On the other hand, Respect those who serve. Maybe they need you to help them hang up their coat full of medals on your aircraft. Smile, do your job, and thank them for their service. In a recent case, a stewardess got snippy with a soldier who made that request. Nobody has died, but the idea of respect for people seems .. lost.
The ALP created 18c in its current form and will not allow change to it. Neither will greens or PUP, so the legislation, although flawed, remains. Some have claimed that the legislation is needed to curb the activity of Rupert Murdoch, whom the legislation has never been employed against. So clearly the legislation is effective in preventing whatever it is that Murdoch does. One supporter of the legislation is Albanese. Albanese has come out in opposition to beefed up terror laws. Albanese feels that it is not necessary to curb terrorist recruiters from their activity the same way he feels it is important to prevent news journalists commenting on current issues. And then there is Hizb Ut-Tahrir, which promotes dangerous ideas like the morality behind killing women for honour code, and also promotes practice like female genital mutilation, preventing women from attending to school, or being seen in public. Hizb Ut-Tahrir opposes Australian military action in the Middle East supporting Islamic peoples fighting ISIS which has killed many Muslims, as well as others. They are terrorist supporters but, as has been noted, although the terrorists they support have killed, tortured and raped many, including non combatants, Hizb Ut-Tahrir has not been seen to have killed anyone. Satisfying Albanese that they need protections that they would be denied were Australia to adopt anti terror legislation.

Child soldiers? Does the UN really believe that they have cool judgement with a rifle and ammo? Does the media really applaud their issue? An article I have linked below gives an example from Syria. It isn't the religion, (I'm told) but the culture that is sick. I guess it isn't good to have a dictator overlord backed by religious authorities. It doesn't build a community.
Nobel peace prize given to those who accepted the chemical attacks in Syria, having first denied they really existed. A young girl who has become the international spokesperson or female education misses out as the shot that wounded her didn't kill her and some feel she needs to do more. But she wasn't very old when Saddam's chemical weapons passed to Syria ..
Weather conditions confound AGW scientists. Terror around the world at unseasonal cooling. Sydney temperatures collapsed 12 degrees centigrade in a day. I asked an old lady who said she thought the cold would never leave. Nobody knows why. Modelling doesn't explain it. I asked a model who looked forward to skiing in the Alps. When I asked 'why,' she said she just liked people and felt the world should simply get along. I smiled and she said "Ew, not you!"
Obama seems to have less ability and charm than that model. He believes in global warming, money growing on trees, but nothing of a strongly religious nature. So why is he hitting Jews? Gillard blamed Jews for not having a strong lobby. Maybe Obama feels the same? Abbott has policies that are working. But the press are focused on who will be the next opposition leader. Neither contender has a policy different to what failed at election. But they are beginning to say they want the Libs to ditch an election promise and bring back Work Choices. It would be a responsible, adult thing to do.

Neither contender has a policy different to what failed at election. But they are beginning to say they want the Libs to ditch an election promise and bring back Work Choices. It would be a responsible, adult thing to do.

Today's Old Testament reading: Isaiah 37-38
Jerusalem’s Deliverance Foretold
1 When King Hezekiah heard this, he tore his clothes and put on sackcloth and went into the temple of the LORD. 2 He sent Eliakim the palace administrator, Shebna the secretary, and the leading priests, all wearing sackcloth, to the prophet Isaiah son of Amoz. 3 They told him, “This is what Hezekiah says: This day is a day of distress and rebuke and disgrace, as when children come to the moment of birth and there is no strength to deliver them. 4 It may be that the LORD your God will hear the words of the field commander, whom his master, the king of Assyria, has sent to ridicule the living God, and that he will rebuke him for the words the LORD your God has heard. Therefore pray for the remnant that still survives.”
5 When King Hezekiah’s officials came to Isaiah, 6 Isaiah said to them, “Tell your master, ‘This is what the LORD says: Do not be afraid of what you have heard—those words with which the underlings of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me. 7 Listen! When he hears a certain report, I will make him want to return to his own country, and there I will have him cut down with the sword.’”
Today's New Testament reading: Colossians 3
Living as Those Made Alive in Christ
1 Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. 2 Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. 3 For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. 4 When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.
5 Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry. 6 Because of these, the wrath of God is coming. 7 You used to walk in these ways, in the life you once lived. 8 But now you must also rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips. 9 Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices 10 and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator. 11 Here there is no Gentile or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all, and is in all....

Morning
The act of prayer teaches us our unworthiness, which is a very salutary lesson for such proud beings as we are. If God gave us favours without constraining us to pray for them we should never know how poor we are, but a true prayer is an inventory of wants, a catalogue of necessities, a revelation of hidden poverty. While it is an application to divine wealth, it is a confession of human emptiness. The most healthy state of a Christian is to be always empty in self and constantly depending upon the Lord for supplies; to be always poor in self and rich in Jesus; weak as water personally, but mighty through God to do great exploits; and hence the use of prayer, because, while it adores God, it lays the creature where it should be, in the very dust. Prayer is in itself, apart from the answer which it brings, a great benefit to the Christian. As the runner gains strength for the race by daily exercise, so for the great race of life we acquire energy by the hallowed labour of prayer. Prayer plumes the wings of God's young eaglets, that they may learn to mount above the clouds. Prayer girds the loins of God's warriors, and sends them forth to combat with their sinews braced and their muscles firm. An earnest pleader cometh out of his closet, even as the sun ariseth from the chambers of the east, rejoicing like a strong man to run his race. Prayer is that uplifted hand of Moses which routs the Amalekites more than the sword of Joshua; it is the arrow shot from the chamber of the prophet foreboding defeat to the Syrians. Prayer girds human weakness with divine strength, turns human folly into heavenly wisdom, and gives to troubled mortals the peace of God. We know not what prayer cannot do! We thank thee, great God, for the mercy-seat, a choice proof of thy marvellous lovingkindness. Help us to use it aright throughout this day!
Evening
In the second epistle to Timothy, first chapter, and ninth verse, are these words--"Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling." Now, here is a touchstone by which we may try our calling. It is "an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace." This calling forbids all trust in our own doings, and conducts us to Christ alone for salvation, but it afterwards purges us from dead works to serve the living and true God. As he that hath called you is holy, so must you be holy. If you are living in sin, you are not called, but if you are truly Christ's, you can say, "Nothing pains me so much as sin; I desire to be rid of it; Lord, help me to be holy." Is this the panting of thy heart? Is this the tenor of thy life towards God, and his divine will? Again, in Philippians, 3:13, 14, we are told of "The high calling of God in Christ Jesus." Is then your calling a high calling? Has it ennobled your heart, and set it upon heavenly things? Has it elevated your hopes, your tastes, your desires? Has it upraised the constant tenor of your life, so that you spend it with God and for God? Another test we find in Hebrews 3:1--"Partakers of the heavenly calling." Heavenly calling means a call from heaven. If man alone call thee, thou art uncalled. Is thy calling of God? Is it a call to heaven as well as from heaven? Unless thou art a stranger here, and heaven thy home, thou hast not been called with a heavenly calling; for those who have been so called, declare that they look for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God, and they themselves are strangers and pilgrims upon the earth. Is thy calling thus holy, high, heavenly? Then, beloved, thou hast been called of God, for such is the calling wherewith God doth call his 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)
