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
A year ago today, FB dumped their God Emperor Trump account, claiming the 5 yo account had been merely created to overcome FB censorship. The obvious reality being that the partisan outfit of FB was (illegally?) campaigning for Democrats. FB protects pedophiles and terrorists, but attacks conservatives? Did Zuckerberg learn from what happened to Epstein? It is dangerous to have a posture when the wind changes.
The incompetence of Joe Biden mirrors the past. Gough Whitlam
I dispute that Gough was the worst ever Australian PM at the time of his death. His abysmal foreign policy is still felt around the world, his debt crisis is still unbalancing the Australian economy and his bad 'reform' of ALP has kept it in the nineteenth century and prevented good people from achieving anything, but Rudd, then Gillard were worse. It is worth listing Gough's achievements. Gough distrusted the US who were allies, and embraced Communist China before Nixon went to negotiate freedoms. He ended conscription and pulled Australia out of Vietnam sooner than high command had planned. That meant when US pulled out in '75 that lots of weapons were left behind that were dangerous for the communist world to have. The threat that Communist Vietnam would sell those weapons to Timor's communist rebels meant Gough gave the nod to Indonesia to invade to prevent those communist Timor rebels from buying and using those weapons. The Timor invasion by Indonesia resulted in the apparently planned deaths of Australian journalists at Balibo by Indonesian special forces, some of whom vie for Indonesian politics today. Gough distrusted Southern Vietnamese who had been supported by the US and spurned their pleas for help. Because of his disastrous spending, Gough needed lots of money and sought to embroil Australia with Iraq. Gough had become leader of a disunited infighting ALP and he took steps to reform it by aligning it more closely with unions and producing the model that cannot be reformed now without disentangling from corrupt union leadership. In Australia, Gough spent unsustainably, and made reckless promises. He promised free education and made it harder for better students to study at university, ultimately making it more expensive for everyone. He promised fair access to health care but delivered a faulty product that needed to be reformed. He politicised the High Court and Governor General's position and created the family court which even today is highly criticised for poor decision making. Gough cared little for those he was responsible for and complained when his holidays were interrupted for disasters, like Cyclone Tracy and the Melbourne floods. Gough was the champion of empty symbolism and claimed to do things he hadn't done, like ending the White Australia Policy. He divided Australia on racial lines by creating a body which has failed to address needs of Aboriginals adequately. Gough felt betrayed by the governor general he appointed and he ruined the man who served faithfully, John Kerr. Gough was patron to notable ALP failures in Keating, Gillard and Clare. He was a charming man who could joke about his megalomania in a pasta advert. On the plus side, he got rid of McMahon as Liberal chief. But he ruined that with Fraser.
We are not lost, despite what we are told by elite. Consider Margaret Thatcher
It was the radical Socialist writer and patriot, the late George Orwell, who described the left-wing intellectuals as men motivated primarily by hatred of their own country.
Socialists who spoke most about brotherhood of man [sic] could not bear their fellow-Englishmen, he complained. Their well-orchestrated sneers from their strong point in the educational system and media have weakened the national will to transmit to future generations those values, standards and aspirations which made England admired the world over.
It is just because their message is that self-discipline is out of date and that the poor cannot be expected to help themselves, that they want the state to do more. That is why they believe in state ownership and control of economic life, education, health.
Their wish to end parental choice in where and how their children shall be educated, in spending their money on better education and health for their children instead of on a new car, leisure, pleasure, is all part of the attempt to diminish self and self-discipline and real freedoms in favour of the state, ruled by socialists, the new class, as one disillusioned communist leader called them.

1974 Oct 18 Fr, Joseph (Sir Keith).
Speech at Edgbaston (“our human stock is threatened”).
We are not lost, despite what we are told by elite. Consider Trafalgar
To set the scene in 1805, England's greatest sailor was facing near certain death and humiliation off the Spanish coast on the morning. He had a desperate plan that had never worked successfully before. He was faced with a larger force of a combined fleet of Spanish and French fleet, under the command of Pierre-Charles Villeneuve for France and Federico Gravina for Spain. Nelson had 27 ships of the line to 33. Classically, the ships would form in two lines and shoot at each other with broadsides until the fleet with less guns and ships was annihilated or surrendered. But Napoleon had had plans to march his grand army into Britain and if Napoleon's fleet was free, her massive army would easily take London. So Nelson was faced with a battle he couldn't surrender or lose, but couldn't win through conventional means. So Nelson's plan addressed it by promoting the superiority of British ships on one to one combat. Britain had had better ships thanks to her guns having triggers instead of lit wicks for firing, better trained men and copper lined bottoms to her ships. Nelson's desperate plan was to sail his ships directly towards the enemy line in two lines at a right angle. He knew the front two British ships would have to weather about thirty minutes of direct fire from the enemy line, but when the closed, he would be able to fight ship to ship with the centre and vanguard of enemy ships, while the enemy ships in the top of the line would have to turn around and re engage. Nelson had two lines because when the tactic had been applied in the past, the concentrated fire on one ship had sunk it and every subsequent one. Two lines, he calculated, would diminish the damage taken to either. Nelson led one line, Cuthbert Collingwood another. Nelson wanted to tell his men he was confiding in them, and he knew they would do their best. But the flag signal man told him he could transmit the message more easily if he substituted a few words. The message, approved by Nelson, is recorded in history and stirring. Instead of Admiral Nelson, the word used was England. Instead of confides, the word used was expects. The message had become "England expects every man will do their duty."
In battle, the forecastle of Victory (Nelson's ship) had lines of marines. Some six were picked off before he gave instructions that they could break ranks and seek cover. Nelson's secretary was adjacent to him when a cannonball knocked his head in, splashing his brains onto Nelson, who remarked he didn't like the taste and regretted that the secretary would not experience victory. Nelson stood with full assignations on his uniform, including a stunning diamond. Smoke obscured the scene as Victory closed with Redoubtable and a sniper shot from Redoubtable's Mast Nest mortally wounded Nelson. Captain Hardy was on hand, and carried Nelson below deck to see the surgeon. Hardy could have been charged with negligence for deserting his post later. Nelson took some five hours to die. Near death, Hardy returned to report success. Nelson thanked God he had done his duty. Britain had not lost a ship, but captured 21 ships and destroyed another. Napoleon would march his Grand Armee on Moscow later. As a result, England would rule the waves around the world until WW2.
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 the Bible, 1 Timothy 5
Widows, Elders and Slaves
Do not rebuke an older man harshly, but exhort him as if he were your father. Treat younger men as brothers, older women as mothers, and younger women as sisters, with absolute purity.
Give proper recognition to those widows who are really in need. But if a widow has children or grandchildren, these should learn first of all to put their religion into practice by caring for their own family and so repaying their parents and grandparents, for this is pleasing to God. The widow who is really in need and left all alone puts her hope in God and continues night and day to pray and to ask God for help. But the widow who lives for pleasure is dead even while she lives. Give the people these instructions, so that no one may be open to blame. Anyone who does not provide for their relatives, and especially for their own household, has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.
No widow may be put on the list of widows unless she is over sixty, has been faithful to her husband, and is well known for her good deeds, such as bringing up children, showing hospitality, washing the feet of the Lord’s people, helping those in trouble and devoting herself to all kinds of good deeds.
As for younger widows, do not put them on such a list. For when their sensual desires overcome their dedication to Christ, they want to marry. Thus they bring judgment on themselves, because they have broken their first pledge. Besides, they get into the habit of being idle and going about from house to house. And not only do they become idlers, but also busybodies who talk nonsense, saying things they ought not to. So I counsel younger widows to marry, to have children, to manage their homes and to give the enemy no opportunity for slander. Some have in fact already turned away to follow Satan.
If any woman who is a believer has widows in her care, she should continue to help them and not let the church be burdened with them, so that the church can help those widows who are really in need.
The elders who direct the affairs of the church well are worthy of double honor, especially those whose work is preaching and teaching. For Scripture says, “Do not muzzle an ox while it is treading out the grain,” and “The worker deserves his wages.” Do not entertain an accusation against an elder unless it is brought by two or three witnesses. But those elders who are sinning you are to reprove before everyone, so that the others may take warning. I charge you, in the sight of God and Christ Jesus and the elect angels, to keep these instructions without partiality, and to do nothing out of favoritism.
Do not be hasty in the laying on of hands, and do not share in the sins of others. Keep yourself pure.
Stop drinking only water, and use a little wine because of your stomach and your frequent illnesses.
The sins of some are obvious, reaching the place of judgment ahead of them; the sins of others trail behind them. In the same way, good deeds are obvious, and even those that are not obvious cannot remain hidden forever.

QLD Election is this Saturday. The current ALP government has been awful, promoting hysteria over COVID and trying to profit from it, rather than treat the sick and allow the healthy to work. Will QLD reward that?In the final week before Saturday’s Queensland election, record numbers of voters have already had their say at the ballot box in what is widely touted as the most important election in the state’s recent history.
The two major parties are standing in all 93 seats, with a host of minor party, ultra minor and independent candidates sitting in a significant number as well.
Political scientist and Griffith University lecturer Dr Paul Williams said there were at least 32 marginal seats where the incumbent held with less than a 5 per cent margin. This could tip the election in either direction, with at least nine “must watch” seats.
Dr Williams said whichever party snapped up the three key Townsville seats would “most likely win government”.
Votes for Greens are likely to increase in most electorates, but Dr Williams said support for Pauline Hanson’s One Nation Party could dip, and Clive Palmer’s United Australia Party wouldn’t gain traction.
Meanwhile, Katter’s Australian Party was likely to retain its two seats, but not gain any others.
Preferences will be important, although fewer people are following how-to-vote cards.
The LNP and Labor both have 15 seats each with margins under 5 per cent; they’re considered must-win for either party.
ABC chief elections analyst Antony Green said the nine key seats that could decide the election were Bonney, Burleigh, Caloundra, Currumbin, Gaven, Glass House, Maryborough, Pumicestone and Theodore.

Ousted health minister Jenny Mikakos continues Dan Andrews criticism for not easing restrictionsA Victorian politician has unloaded on Daniel Andrews, describing Melbourne as a “hellhole” and the state government “despicable”.
Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews is facing a storm of criticism over his decision not to lift the state’s lockdown sooner.
Liberals MP Tim Wilson accused Mr Andrews of breaking a “contract” with the people of Victoria
“Victorians have consistently done the right thing,” Mr Wilson said in an interview with 2GB breakfast host Ben Fordham.
“It is despicable that the State government is blaming a northern suburbs family for their own systems failures. Daniel Andrews has broken the contract he had with Victorians. It should be honoured.”
Mr Wilson’s criticism intensified, with the Victorian politician adding: “Melbourne is a hellhole. So many of my friends have left or are wanting to leave. Daniel Andrews has wrecked the joint.”

Coronavirus Australia live: Family claims DHHS stuff-up led to Melbourne clusterThe family at the centre of the new virus cluster in Melbourne's north have claimed misinformation from health authorities resulted in the virus spreading.
The family at the centre of the new COVID-19 cluster in Melbourne's north have claimed misinformation from health authorities resulted in the virus spreading.
The family, who have asked not to be identified, told The Age they were cleared to leave isolation by the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) days before one of their children unknowingly attended school while infectious.
The Year 5 boy attended East Preston Islamic College for two days while infectious on October 19 and 20, sparking a cluster of at least 39 active coronavirus cases.
The family has hit back at claims from authorities they were “expressly told not to” send the boy to school, with an email revealing the family was cleared to return to school and work days before.
Premier Daniel Andrews delayed lifting lockdown restrictions as a result of the cluster, saying there would be a “pause” while authorities waited for the results from a testing blitz.

Kylie Moore-Gilbert moved from Qarchak prison in Iran to unknown locationAustralian academic Kylie Moore-Gilbert, convicted of espionage in a secret trial, has been moved from a notorious prison in Iran.
A British-Australian academic detained in Iran has been moved from a notorious prison to an unknown location, a human rights organisation has said.
Kylie Moore-Gilbert was arrested in Tehran in 2018 and convicted for espionage in a secret trial. She was sentenced to 10 years despite no evidence of her alleged crimes having been publicly presented.
The Iranian Association of Human Rights Activists has said Ms Moore-Gilbert was moved on Saturday from Qarchak prison, according to The Guardian.
It was reported her belongings were also moved, but there was no information on where she was taken.
“Obviously one hopes the move might be good news for Kylie, but we don’t know yet,” Elaine Pearson, Australia director of Human Rights Watch, told The Guardian.

PM’s ‘profound disappointment’ at continued Victoria lockdownPrime Minister Scott Morrison has lashed out at Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews over his decision not to lift coronavirus restrictions.
The Prime Minister said the continued lockdown suggested the state government was not confident its health system was capable of suppressing transmission of the virus.
The Victorian government said issues its contact tracing system that led to its second outbreak had significantly improved.
Mr Morrison said Melbourne’s ongoing lockdown cost the city close to 1000 jobs per day.
“At some point, you have to move forward and put your public health systems to work in a bid to reclaim the jobs that have been lost,” Mr Morrison said.
“Victoria’s public health systems are either up to the task of dealing with future outbreaks or they are not. The decision to keep businesses closed suggests that there is still not sufficient confidence within the government that their systems can support reopening.”

Four words that doomed Princess Diana and Prince Charles’ relationshipIt was meant to be one of the happiest moments of Princess Diana’s life but four words flippantly uttered by Prince Charles sealed her fate.
The most infamous, and deeply uncomfortable moment, comes towards the end when Carthew prompts them of their feelings, “And in love?”
Diana, immediately out of the blocks, adamantly said “of course”.
Charles, looking curiously pleased with himself, followed up with, “whatever ‘in love’ means”.
We now know why police resourcing and Malcolm Turnbull was an issue last week. Because of the impending raids on the AWU. Somebody is keen to embarrass Turnbull. It might well be Turnbull himself. Turnbull is crazy like a fox, and is quite capable of awful political judgement. Turnbull sat on the issue of ALP corruption for years, probably not wanting to appear like Mr Abbott. So Turnbull hesitated and prevaricated and dithered. Then Turnbull sprang into decisive action which was a mistake. And he probably wanted everyone to know he was behind it. We do. Victims of formerly competent MP's who supported Turnbull and whose careers are now in tatters look like broadening to include Cash, Frydenberg and Wilson. The Libs cannot stop bleeding while they hold to Turnbull.
He had been in a drug den, and the landlord had taken pity on him when he said he didn’t want to die that way. The landlord gave him a second chance. His flatmates would drive him to work until he got his car license restored. Things were looking up for him, until he framed a flatmate for casual theft. That flatmate left, leaving a vacancy for me. The rent was affordable for someone on the dole. I really had no alternatives. But the rejuvenated pedophile had unfinished business.
He wanted to really prove that the former flatmate had stolen money. So the pedophile ice addict announced he would have a party. He got drunk and was arrested driving, losing his license and his job. He bought a big sound system and played music so loudly that neighbours complained. He wouldn’t sleep. He frequented brothels and got angry with anyone who declined to go with him (not my cup of tea). But the law couldn’t stop him driving drunk or playing music loudly at 3am.
Finally the pedophile ice addict had his moment. At the party he arranged, Easter Friday, he invited over the former flatmate and hit him. He later said that that was proof of their theft. He was evicted on the Saturday, but police insisted he be given fair notice. He decided he wanted to kill me, and police said they could do nothing. They heard him threaten me, but only warned him to turn down his music. On Saturday night, the pedophile Ice addict got so drunk and mad at me that for successive hours he pounded on and broke my locked door, saying he would kill me. Emergency police did not show when called at 10 Pm until 4:30 am the Sunday morning. When they showed and saw the damage they told me I had to leave, as they could do nothing regarding the pedophile Ice addict.
3AW did not get to hear of my issue, as Hallam is not a known party house area, like Mornington Peninsula. I would not have described him as Pedophile Ice addict on radio. I’d have called him Stiffler.
Donald Trump's speech at Gettysburg is frightening media. They have supported and protected insider corruption for a long time. Trump will clean up the festering wound, and make America great again.

Lone Wolf killers? How many Lone Wolves are in pack? At least five attacks have been noted world wide after ISIL called for revolution by terrorism. The latest being an axe attack on NY cops, the first being an attack on a Victorian Policeman and a Federal Australian cop. Such attacks are notoriously hard to predict or defend against. And some, like Green Senator Scott Ludlum or civil Libertarian Chris Berg oppose security arrangements making it safer for the public. Unlikely a lone wolf would ever bite one of them, right?
Europe rewards evil with ransoms. US and UK prisoners held captive by ISIL are treated very badly, while French, Spanish and Italians get better treatment after their governments had allegedly paid ransom. US and UK prisoners have also been filmed having their heads removed.
Sending a rescue mission to a jihadi? A fifteen year old denounces Tony Abbott and threatens terror assaults on the West. His father is galvanised into inaction, wishing to send a team to bring the boy back home, but afraid that such a team might appear to be aiding and abetting a terrorist fugitive. That couldn't happen because insane ALP parliamentarians refuse to pass laws allowing public safety, and so the laws against aiding and abetting terrorists have not been passed.
Ebola panic in NYC is evident as the Mayor denies it. It would be more believable if underlings kept po faces.
In Newcastle in NSW two seats had been abandoned by the conservatives after sitting conservative members had been embarrassed. The resultant bye election had the ALP not expanding their vote appreciably, but obtaining the two seats until a general election in five months time. Conservatives will campaign next time.

Today's Old Testament reading: Jeremiah 6-8
Jerusalem Under Siege
Flee from Jerusalem!
Sound the trumpet in Tekoa!
Raise the signal over Beth Hakkerem!
For disaster looms out of the north,
even terrible destruction.
2 I will destroy Daughter Zion,
so beautiful and delicate.
3 Shepherds with their flocks will come against her;
they will pitch their tents around her,
each tending his own portion.”
Arise, let us attack at noon!
But, alas, the daylight is fading,
and the shadows of evening grow long.
5 So arise, let us attack at night
and destroy her fortresses!”
“Cut down the trees
and build siege ramps against Jerusalem.
This city must be punished;
it is filled with oppression....

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)
