Tue 5th October 2021 Current Affairs

My name is David Daniel Ball and I am the voice of freedom coming to you from the oppressed of Australia and Melbourne. The Victorian state premier, Dan Andrews is denying freedom to Victorians and is safe from prosecution. The NSW Premier offered freedom in NSW and has had to leave office a persecuted figure. NSW has performed better than Victoria despite Victoria having had more and more stringent lockdowns. The Victorian Premier had killed over a hundred Victorians in a previous lockdown through mismanagement. When challenged as to the reason for the mismanagement the Victorian Premier claimed he forgot as his staff were caught deleting relevant articles. 

Lockdowns are as ineffective as face masks. I must wear a face mask indoors and out doors despite being double vaccinated. My employer who cannot employ me under lockdown has had to check that I am double vaccinated. I will not be allowed to work until February next year. Those who claim face masks keep me safe point to studies made in hospitals where the sickly are densely populated. I can point to the ridiculous spread of Covid variants despite curfew, lockdown and face masks. Something is wrong. I am not allowed, were I to contract COVID, to treat it with Ivermectin, HCQ or Fenofibrate despite all three being effective medications. Instead I have been double vaccinated when the vaccine may be more deadly than COVID. 

A Christian Evangelist who targeted Jews asked me to clarify my outrage. I do so. 

NB. FB deleted a post I made on the issue 

“I ask forgiveness from Jews who experienced horrible persecution because of my arrogance in believing that my theology was more important than the incessant wounds they suffered for almost 2000 years at the hands of Christians.”

Read it aloud and try to see what might be offensive to a Jewish person, even one who was not religious, but ethnically Jewish. I have Jewish family, and lost some to the holocaust. My Jewish ancestors had gone to Poland from Horowice, which gave them a name, and Jacobs, which gave them another, but last names are not a Jewish thing. You may wish forgiveness for arrogance. You are not important enough that your belief was responsible for their horrible persecution. That persecution was persistent and real and largely documented, but not entirely. Sometimes some of the persecutors asked forgiveness of G-d, but continued. Today, one wound Jews feel terribly is when evangelical Christians claim their young using sophisticated arguments the young are not conditioned to respond to. Jewish peoples do not proselytise, but raise their young in accordance with their scripture. They feel real anger when their young are taken from them by hucksters.

My family fled the pogroms of the Tsars. Before that, they fled many Christian leaders. You may have heard of Hypatia and Saint Cyril, there had been Alexandrian Jews that Cyril ‘loved’ too. The New World was discovered when a persecuted Spanish Jew named Columbus set sail. Japan’s second religion is an offshoot from Jewish slaves dating back to a hundred years or so after Jonah, it is in DNA records. And yet, despite the thousands of years of persecution, the Jewish community retains her indomitable character. I believe God did something very special when they were in that desert, and God has a plan which includes them. I don’t know what it is. But I’m not so arrogant to think I can impugn on their good will by targeting their young without consequence. Disraeli is said to have observed “Two thousands years of Christian love has left the Jews feeling nervous.” Yet Disraeli was Christian. I ask G-d for guidance on this issue, and I believe I need to be humble. And I’m saying to you that needs to inform your mission. And if that is not possible for you, go somewhere else.

The following day, I got further messages
Brian Rocker I'm really confused David at what you're getting at? Who's targeting youth? And I don't understand what's wrong with Brother Tommy or myself or anyone else repenting for the sins of our fathers like Daniel did while in Babylon. I'm really confused at your post. Can you explain so we can understand the offense you feel? Thanks!

For some, failing to understand is a gift. When the Lord finally returns and tells his people of his love, Brian and Tommy might say 'huh?'

I apologise. I'm angry. I may be dead in a few years, having been lucky to have lived so long. I see a world of promise, and I see that promise squandered by the corrupt. When I was young, I dreamt of a positive answer to that eternal question, is their intelligent life on Earth? Andrews, Biden and Trudeau say 'no'

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.

Australia moves towards an election federally. And the director of the Liberal Party infuriates me, asking me for money to support his AGW hucksterism that isn't as bad as the ALP one. It still is not good policy. 

Today, 25th Sept 2021 I carry fake news
The fake news comes from a left wing site called "The Hill" 
In the article on the Arizona draft Audit into 2020 election fraudulently given Biden, we are told there were no accidents and that a simple vote count shows Biden won. However, the simple vote count does not show that at all. It shows that the voter fraud was wilful and deliberate. It shows that the parties behind the fraud covered their tracks. Now for the parts of the audit that have been opposed. A check of signatures. The system data showing when and how votes were cast. That will take longer because the investigation has been impeded. 

A successful withdrawal was what was engineered at Gallipolli, where, over three days troops pulled out of defended positions and left on ships .. nobody died. That was war. Nobody was left behind. Because of the failure, WW1 was prolonged another two and a half years, Russia collapsed etc etc. The price of failure was big. But the retreat was a success. In contrast, Biden's retreat was utter failure in Afghanistan. 

Editorial on Covid policy failure
It is apparent COVID policy is political, not health related. However health advice has been political and not health related. Public health has been corrupted. Media has failed. Judiciary is corrupt. Defence is incompetent. The thin blue line has been cut. And, elder abuse is apparent from the Presidential office through to the ordinary NYC retirement home. On the plus side, there is an emerging possibility of an empty gesture securing the white house for womyn on behalf of one raised in Canada. 

Dan Andrews' lockdown has cancelled AA meetings. Go the beers. Playgrounds have been shut down state wide and even a curfew has been re-imposed. There is no science showing any such measure addresses COVID, but we know it allows the government to assert authority.

Editorial Biden's Afghan failure culminated from Obama's Afghan lies

Afghanistan is in flames as Biden begins bombing runs on terrorists as he seeks to negotiate with them. US soldiers have been killed after a strategic error left an exposed airport the only means of Americans and their allies to flee. Biden says those that remained behind wanted to, after fleeing Afghans clinging to a wing and fuselage of an aircraft plummet to their deaths. After Biden had said the Afghan government would stand following US withdrawal. US left behind billions of dollars of weapons Chicago gangs look on with shock and awe. The Taliban will not use a fleet of Blackhawk helicopters. China will. 

So who is responsible for the failure? According to Biden, the buck stops with him, and he views it as a Dunkirk like success, when he is not looking at his watch waiting for mourning to end of soldiers that died in his service. Biden also feels any mistake was made by Donald Trump as NK begins nuclear weapons work. The US military have included critical junior officers in their lists of personal pronouns for enemies. What is a personal pronoun for a failed President? 

Editorial on God In answer to Dinesh Dsousa's article 
The God the atheists refute is not real, but is a ridiculous, impossible figure. God is real. God as He is revealed in the Bible is a fact. However, as ridiculous as the atheists arguments are, they are instructive. God made a bridge He could not cross (man's rejection of Him). God bridged that gap with Jesus. Thing is, atheists don't believe that that gap is real. 

In my Sermon on a Miracle I describe how God gave a childless woman who could not bear children, prayed for children, family. He did that. And he did not use supernatural measures. 

God is real. God does the impossible. God is not subject to our demands. God answers prayer. Sometimes bad people prosper for a time. All those statements are true. 

God is worthy of praise. Atheists don't see it, but they have countless examples of it, from their own lives to the works of those they admire. In the Revelations of the Holy Spirit I underscore and outline some of what God does that even atheists call for. 

We need god, but even in a world without God, there is a need for Him.

From the Bible, Ephesians 6

Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. “Honor your father and mother”—which is the first commandment with a promise— “so that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth.”

Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord.

Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear, and with sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ. Obey them not only to win their favor when their eye is on you, but as slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from your heart. Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not people, because you know that the Lord will reward each one for whatever good they do, whether they are slave or free.

And masters, treat your slaves in the same way. Do not threaten them, since you know that he who is both their Master and yours is in heaven, and there is no favoritism with him.

The Armor of God

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people. Pray also for me, that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should.

Final Greetings

Tychicus, the dear brother and faithful servant in the Lord, will tell you everything, so that you also may know how I am and what I am doing. I am sending him to you for this very purpose, that you may know how we are, and that he may encourage you.

Peace to the brothers and sisters, and love with faith from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Grace to all who love our Lord Jesus Christ with an undying love.

Here is a video I made If I were a carpenter
"If I Were a Carpenter" is a song written by Tim Hardin. Hardin's recording appeared on his 1967 album Tim Hardin 2. It was a Top Ten hit for Bobby Darin in 1966, reaching number 8 in the US

=== From 2017 ===
Don't give up on hope. The hate media would have it that words are worse than deeds. And so, days before Malcolm Turnbull triumphs with his postal vote on Gay Marriage, in all likelihood recording a yes, the awful behaviour of yes campaigners will be forgiven by the media. And the simple concerns of 'no' advocates will be expanded on for a declaration of balance. After branding 'no' advocates as hateful homophobes, will the 'yes' advocates thank them for participating in a democratic activity? The exercise was unnecessarily expensive, and a lost opportunity to attempt an electronic vote that would have been a world first, verifiable and resistant to tampering. It was made more expensive by the rabid opposition of Greens and ALP who insisted people not be asked about this matter. 

It looks like the Las Vegas lone wolf may not have been alone and may not have had one target. Bullets had been aimed at a gas tower which had not ignited. There is evidence an escape was planned. His brother is fund raising for victims. The atrocity could change the way Las Vegas runs. Previously, the mafia had prevented such a deleterious assault on their cash cow. 

The hate media would have it that words are worse than deeds. Universities are declaring that not talking to white people is a solution to racism. That British coming to Australia is bad, but Rohingya coming to Australia is good. Andrew Bolt says gun control in the US is a problem, and cites the 400 rounds a minute fired by the Las Vegas killer. But the guns were illegal. And not easy to obtain. It may well be the case that the Las Vegas Killer was assisted. In which case his death may have been a loose end that was tied up. The FBI, took a day to declare ISIS was not involved, but FBI are still chasing Donald Trump over Russia. 
=== from 2016 ===

The statistics are stark, but the labelling is confusing. The table is marked "Rate per 100,000" but they look like raw incidents, which makes more sense. Dandenong is a hub of much, but personal experience in Casey suggests crime is more significant. In two months in Hallam I had an ice addict who wanted to kill me and SWAT arrested a troublesome drug addict known to police. In Dandenong I see a loving family doing their best to eke out an existence. I have done over 200 km walking through Dandenong in the last two months. I don't believe there are twice as much crime per resident in Dandenong. But even so, the table illustrates failure from council planning. A 30% rise in crime since the last council election. And it is like a hockey stick. To be fair, Dan Andrews restrictions on policing do not help. One cannot hire enough to make up for the current ones being tied up and prevented from actively policing. 

Don't accept excuses for councillors not addressing the issues. Crime is not the fault of any one thing. A suite of policies are needed to address it. Youth unemployment is too high. Business needs to have red tape cut. Public transport could be better. Garbage collection could be cheaper. Planning could be more effective. Dandenong is not over developed, or over policed. Shop workers do not feel safe. Car parking is restricted in zones reliant on trade.
=== from 2015 ===
Malcolm Turnbull claimed the Liberal Leadership with more than a few lies about Tony Abbott's administration. But now he has to make good on his promise of what he can achieve. Turnbull won't be impressive by rolling back good policy. He needs to be fearless on tax, as much so as Mr Abbott was on immigration. Turnbull won't be popular by being populist. Worryingly, he seems to be walking down that road. 

For some, at the moment, the Sex Party has more credibility.
From 2014
Terrorism Issue
#FightNotNegotiate means Islamo Fascists do not care if they are portrayed by western media as bloodthirsty. They are not interested in peace deals. They feel their dream of a subjugated people is close, and so they need only behave as they wish to, to live as they want to. They kill and torture Islamic peoples, but they take pride in killing and torturing others. This is what the UN has fostered over decades of opposition to Israel. It would surprise the leaders of ISIL to have extreme Western opposition to be sustained. They have had their bloodthirsty behaviour rewarded too much and excused. How many times were terrorist acts legitimised by governments? Should Israel have hit the Ugandan Airforce to extract hostages? Wasn't Israel wrong to have assassinated Munich terrorists who ordered the hit? Didn't Obama order Israel to release terrorists who had killed for peace? Hadn't Obama ignored military advice to abandon Iraq? In Australia Hizb ut-Tahir sides with terror against Australian involvement against ISIL. Greens vote in Australia is less than opposition to war. Will Islamic leaders who endorse terror endorse Greens? Also, 'Ban the burqa' cries obscure the actual issue of addressing terrorism. The burqa is not Islam, but terrorists want to fight and are looking for excuses. 

Mixed issues.
Fairfax lie to attack Murdoch. Fairfax in SMH and Age make a false claim that Murdoch pays no tax on his business in Australia. Fairfax is corrected, but fails to correct their front page headlines. Fairfax is vile to Abbott, but ignores Gillard's corruption. Fairfax prints obscene, near pornographic denunciations of Mr Abbott but refuse to ask basic questions surrounding what would be needed to show Gillard is not corrupt. In fact Gillard is corrupt, so that is why her champions are silent on those questions. But nothing excuses their treatment of Mr Abbott. It isn't balanced. A lefties' vision of hell embraces the dead boat people their compassion killed as seen in some art works depicting the afterlife. Are mobster's wives a fitting subject for reality tv? Clearly tv is comfortable with corrupt ALP figures, so it seems a small extension to include mob boss wives. Congratulations to Argentina's Rugby team defeating Australia. We played our best. You were better. Also congrats to Aboriginal Icon Rabbitohs defeating Islamic Icon Bulldogs in the ARL grand final. New research shows the Congo was the home of aids.
From 2013
Obama got lost on his way to the Asia Pacific conference and sent Kerry instead. There is no news of Kerry demanding Australia free its captured jihadists for peace. There is also no news of Obama doing anything useful while he is collecting his pay checks during the government shut down in the US. Panicking that he would never break into this news cycle, NSW Opposition leader John Robertson, publicly stated he refused a bribe from murdered businessman McGurk shortly before McGurk's death. It is alleged that an ALP donor ordered the hit on McGurk. Robertson is claiming he was offered $3 million for the sale of Currawong, something Robertson did not own. Robertson then proceeded not to tell the police or the ICAC. But, Robertson gushes, he was shocked at the offer he didn't report. Small wonder Robertson was shocked. Eddie Obeid is alleged to have been behind $500 million in corrupt dealings. Why would the union man accept a corrupt pay cut?

No one knows where corruption in the ALP will end. Or when. However, there needs to be an inquiry into AGW alarmism which has cost the world many trillions of dollars. How is the ALP involved in it? How is the ALP involved in the corruption of the immigration process? Is the ALP safe from accusation that it is not profiting from corruption involved in identifying as Australian Aboriginal? Think of the ALP corruption for a moment, and extend it to the US and ask if Obama has made Libyans safer with his shelling of Libya?

Today's reading: Isaiah 20-22, Ephesians 6 (NIV)

Today's Old Testament reading: Isaiah 20-22

A Prophecy Against Egypt and Cush
1 In the year that the supreme commander, sent by Sargon king of Assyria, came to Ashdod and attacked and captured it— 2 at that time the LORD spoke through Isaiah son of Amoz. He said to him, “Take off the sackcloth from your body and the sandals from your feet.” And he did so, going around stripped and barefoot.
3 Then the LORD said, “Just as my servant Isaiah has gone stripped and barefoot for three years, as a sign and portent against Egypt and Cush, 4 so the king of Assyria will lead away stripped and barefoot the Egyptian captives and Cushite exiles, young and old, with buttocks bared—to Egypt’s shame. 5Those who trusted in Cush and boasted in Egypt will be dismayed and put to shame. 6 In that day the people who live on this coast will say, ‘See what has happened to those we relied on, those we fled to for help and deliverance from the king of Assyria! How then can we escape?’”

Today's New Testament reading: Ephesians 6

1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. 2“Honor your father and mother”—which is the first commandment with a promise— 3 “so that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth.”
4 Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord.
5 Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear, and with sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ. 6Obey them not only to win their favor when their eye is on you, but as slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from your heart. 7Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not people, 8 because you know that the Lord will reward each one for whatever good they do, whether they are slave or free.
9 And masters, treat your slaves in the same way. Do not threaten them, since you know that he who is both their Master and yours is in heaven, and there is no favoritism with him....

Morning

"At evening time it shall be light."
Zechariah 14:7
Oftentimes we look forward with forebodings to the time of old age, forgetful that at eventide it shall be light. To many saints, old age is the choicest season in their lives. A balmier air fans the mariner's cheek as he nears the shore of immortality, fewer waves ruffle his sea, quiet reigns, deep, still and solemn. From the altar of age the flashes of the fire of youth are gone, but the more real flame of earnest feeling remains. The pilgrims have reached the land Beulah, that happy country, whose days are as the days of heaven upon earth. Angels visit it, celestial gales blow over it, flowers of paradise grow in it, and the air is filled with seraphic music. Some dwell here for years, and others come to it but a few hours before their departure, but it is an Eden on earth. We may well long for the time when we shall recline in its shady groves and be satisfied with hope until the time of fruition comes. The setting sun seems larger than when aloft in the sky, and a splendour of glory tinges all the clouds which surround his going down. Pain breaks not the calm of the sweet twilight of age, for strength made perfect in weakness bears up with patience under it all. Ripe fruits of choice experience are gathered as the rare repast of life's evening, and the soul prepares itself for rest.
The Lord's people shall also enjoy light in the hour of death. Unbelief laments; the shadows fall, the night is coming, existence is ending. Ah no, crieth faith, the night is far spent, the true day is at hand. Light is come, the light of immortality, the light of a Father's countenance. Gather up thy feet in the bed, see the waiting bands of spirits! Angels waft thee away. Farewell, beloved one, thou art gone, thou wavest thine hand. Ah, now it is light. The pearly gates are open, the golden streets shine in the jasper light. We cover our eyes, but thou beholdest the unseen; adieu, brother, thou hast light at even-tide, such as we have not yet.

Evening

"If any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous."
1 John 2:1


"If any man sin, we have an advocate." Yes, though we sin, we have him still. John does not say, "If any man sin he has forfeited his advocate," but "we have an advocate," sinners though we are. All the sin that a believer ever did, or can be allowed to commit, cannot destroy his interest in the Lord Jesus Christ, as his advocate. The name here given to our Lord is suggestive. "Jesus." Ah! then he is an advocate such as we need, for Jesus is the name of one whose business and delight it is to save. "They shall call his name Jesus, for he shall save his people from their sins." His sweetest name implies his success. Next, it is "Jesus Christ"--Christos, the anointed. This shows his authority to plead. The Christ has a right to plead, for he is the Father's own appointed advocate and elected priest. If he were of our choosing he might fail, but if God hath laid help upon one that is mighty, we may safely lay our trouble where God has laid his help. He is Christ, and therefore authorized; he is Christ, and therefore qualified, for the anointing has fully fitted him for his work. He can plead so as to move the heart of God and prevail. What words of tenderness, what sentences of persuasion will the anointed use when he stands up to plead for me! One more letter of his name remains, "Jesus Christ the righteous." This is not only his character but his plea. It is his character, and if the Righteous One be my advocate, then my cause is good, or he would not have espoused it. It is his plea, for he meets the charge of unrighteousness against me by the plea that he is righteous. He declares himself my substitute and puts his obedience to my account. My soul, thou hast a friend well fitted to be thine advocate, he cannot but succeed; leave thyself entirely in his hands.

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)
