Bairnsdale Conservative: January 2022

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

Democrats aware they are failing, but no policy change

Dr Robert Malone censored by anti science lobby

Prayer for new year, new projects

=== From 2021 ===

We have a good idea as to the path Trump is walking to retain the white house. It is not martial law. It does not involve SCOTUS. Trump is keen not to hurt the union or the constitution. Trump is on his knees, losing unnecessary fights which continue to show that Deep State have had control of the union for a long time and many of the levers of power are not functioning. It is necessary Trump fight these battles, but not necessary he win them. It is not certain Trump will win. But, the cabal have been losing badly with each 'win' they get. The SCOTUS decision of the Texas lawsuit is a case in point. The election was stolen. The evidence is clear. SCOTUS does not need the evidence, the people have it. Even as Big tech and media deny it, the people have seen it and made a decision regarding it. Trump wanted a stimulus for COVID and Democrats delayed it and forced it into a pork barrel. It does not matter if Trump refuses to sign it. The people have seen the Democrats delaying the bill for political advantage as people suffered. The people have also seen that the pork barrels are not meant for them.

American people are not impressed that Democrats are trying to steal the Georgia senate run offs. They are not impressed with the Democrat candidates. They are not impressed with polling that shows a narrative mainstream media peddle, but which does not reflect reality. People are not impressed with the intimidation of Kemp. People are expecting Kraken will expose attempted fraud in the run off. The mail in fraud is not going to impress the people. The fraudulent votes for Biden will not transfer to support for him if he wins.

We know Trump is the most popularly re elected President ever. We know Trump is gaining support among minorities as well as regular aspirational voters. What we don't yet know is when Biden and the cabal will face justice for what they have done. But we know Trump is temporising so as to not embarrass SCOTUS. So, the steps are, Trump will secure a win via state legislatures. Then SCOTUS will be brought in to deal with the fraudsters. In all likelihood, Trump does not want another special council in the wings of his 2021 inauguration.

COVID 19 has been inflated by hysterics for the primary purpose of controlling the US elections in 2020. It allowed states to declare states of emergency and suspend normal rules while a cabal engaged in voter fraud. Trump has produced a few vaccines but the cabal need COVID to remain so they can prevent a free and fair election in Georgia for the senate positions. However, in order to achieve what the cabal has, things have had to be sacrificed, including reputations and people's lives. Not all of which are in USA.

COVID is not worse than a bad flu. The IPA (Institute of Public Affairs in Australia) have researched the death rate at 800 per million, or 0.08%. A bad flu might be 0.1%. However, hysterics have reported death rates as 20% or more. COVID is particularly deadly to the sick and elderly, unlike SARS which afflicted the young and sick. However, elderly people under COVID-19 have longer life expectancies than before. And, older, sick people have always died in large numbers. It is easy to inflate numbers of natural attrition for elderly. A healthy person wearing a mask has no real defence from COVID, and cannot transmit it. Children are not particularly susceptible to COVID. Yet children have been prevented from going to school, and businesses have been closed and treatments have been denied the sick so COVID hysteria can allow rules to be suspended during elections.

Some people have been very sick from COVID and died. That happens with the flu too, every year. However, there have been treatments for COVID denied the sick by bureaucrats. At first, the treatments were declared as counter to research. But such research was debunked when it was observed it had not been rigorous but set to fail. It is hard to know the exact number who have died from such neglect, but as of June 2020, statistics showed deaths from COVID were some 8 times more likely in Democrat run states. While it is possible that COVID is more virulent against those with left wing values, whose personal hygiene is suspect, the more likely explanation is that bad management is the cause. Herd immunity is still the only long term solution, possibly achieved through vaccine, but in the mean times, treatment is available and cheap.

In Victoria, in Australia, following the first wave, elimination had temporarily been achieved. However it had been bungled by Victorian Premier Dan Andrews and extraordinary measures were brought to bear, ruling out treatment. Some one hundred people died as a direct result, but the Victorian Premier was able to declare a state of emergency and a state of disaster and introduce a Chinese style curfew on movement. Such virtue signalling was necessary for the pre election pre text in the United states. Australians dying so US peoples could be bound in chains. Similar tragedy ensued in Europe and elsewhere. Notably, poor nations with access to cheap treatments were largely unaffected by the crisis.

Will there ever be justice for those who paid high prices for COVID hysteria so a cabal could rig an election?

A former and a current CIA chief used their offices to create a fake news attack on then candidate Donald Trump. They did not use, apparently, CIA resources, but private ones which they then had given to FBI and state department as bona fide CIA intelligence. Two former FBI chiefs then colluded to create fake investigations to persecute the candidate, and later, President Trump. The actual application of the CIA to USA operations is illegal. Those chiefs and a few underlings, sponsored by a cabal of Democrats and big tech, have orchestrated crisis after crisis in the United States, and world. And DOJ chief Barr sees nothing wrong?

It is apparent the spying on Trump prior to 2016 election, and the subsequent attempt to remove him from office was baseless and corrupt. Yet is has become very hard to say so, with FB, Twitter and Google acting to restrict substantive evidence. Mainstream media print lies, but don't retract when corrected. Why did Fox news give North Carolina early, in error, to HRC in 2016? Why in 2020 did Fox news also give North Carolina early? How did pollsters measure fraudulent votes before they were cast? Why were pollsters so wrong about Trump popularity?

We know that FBI began investigating Trump before the 2016 election. We know it was based on a lie that had not been started by bona fide security channels but was initiated from HRC campaign and shepherded by senior CIA and FBI executives. What does Barr know that allows him to claim what he does?

Trump is fighting to get re elected after he was voted back in. Nothing is certain. I am confident he will walk down one of the roads which sees him inaugurated again on 20th January 2021. I am also certain there are very bad people fighting for their lives as criminals to deny him. The rumour surrounding Governor Kemp does not have to be true. The possibility that Kemp's daughter's significant other was murdered to threaten Kemp illustrates the stakes. If voter fraud is real, and has been detailed, imagine the breadth of the corruption involved in independently and multiply, conning voter authorities. It was not merely using COVID hysteria to change laws to allow voter fraud. It was not merely using trucks to carry fake ballots across state lines. It was not merely opening voting machines to hostile governments. It was not merely foreign governments compromising legislature in significant committees. It is not merely covering up for the corrupt activities. It is not merely tasking tech giants to sideline debate. It is all of that, and more. In order to maintain the lie, what keeps the corrupt pollsters in Georgia in line, and waiting for more? What keeps corrupt judges from respecting the law and the constitution? If the Media editors are corrupt, are the journalists corrupt too? All of them? When was it that not one capable, honest journalist worked at CNN? When was it that entire support structures of Facebook and Google would countenance the deception they perpetrate?

I can tell you I have no evidence that suggests there is an honest journalist at CNN. NYT, WaPo, LA Times etc etc. I have no evidence that suggests FB or Google are not part of a cabal. My interactions suggest gross incompetence among judges, police and authorities. I see a depraved indifference to the welfare of ordinary citizens as educational authorities persecute children who don't toe their lines, or repeat lies of convenience.

Allow me to throw some truth bombs illustrating the issues. COVID-19 is not as bad as a bad 'flu in terms of mortality, and the worst affected, elderly people, are living longer now than they were a year ago. Masks do not help healthy people fight COVID. AGW is a lie, and the world's temperatures have been rising since the end of the ice age, but seem more stable at the moment. Carbon Dioxide is plant food, a trace particle in our atmosphere and necessary for life on Earth. Fracking provides cheap, effective gas. Solar power is inefficient. Wind power is poorly implemented, killing birds. Nuclear power is safe, and something Iran should never have. It is ok to pray in school, or in church, or in public. It is ok to swear on a bible, or talk to God. It is not racist to ignore race. It is racist to promote race. Publicly funded wildlife protection is a failure, but farming is incredibly successful. No farm animal is an endangered species. Kneeling in support of racism is not healthy. Standing for God and country can be motivating. Donald Trump got over 74 million votes from people we knew existed, and saw at rallies. Biden's votes did not seem to come from any known source, and he is not as popular as Obama was. Obama belongs in jail for the Russia Hoax and his work to undermine the 2020 election too. Obama started a new cld war because he was deficient in foreign policy. Trump has miraculously achieved what Obama could not, in Israel, NK, Iran, Syria and the United States.

There are two side stories to election fraud that I'm surprised no one is talking about. Biden in 2020 and Kevin Rudd in 2007. Both situations had had tremendous voter suppression played by mainstream media. Biden was too weak relative to Trump, and so the fraud was obvious because too much ground had to be made up. Kevin Rudd was aided by Malcolm Turnbull's betrayal of the Liberal Party of Australia, resulting from the failure of Peter Costello to campaign for the leadership from Mr Howard. But the media are ignoring corruption efforts by Biden and Rudd which they ought to question.

With Joe Biden, he was VP and had special interests in Ukraine on 17th July 2014 when MH17 was shot down by Russian separatist forces. As the separatists reported the accident to Moscow, US signals intelligence picked up the chatter. The question has never been asked publicly, why was a civilian aircraft targeted? And, why was US signals intelligence so quick in intercepting that particular signal? The answer lies with Ukraine's problem with Russian separatists shooting down their military aircraft, killing many troops. Someone decided that Ukraine could paint their military aircraft with radio civilian identifiers. This trained the separatists to ignore civilian identifiers, and so tragedy resulted. Only the tragedy was not unexpected by Ukraine, who failed to warn Malaysia that Ukraine was a war zone. US signals intelligence were prepared to capitalise on the tragedy. Is the media protecting Biden and Ukraine from war crimes inquiry?

In '07, Kevin Rudd bragged he had special contacts within Australian defence forces which would address problems he claimed Mr Howard had failed. One issue Rudd identified was Timor's rebel leader, Alfredo Reinado. Reinado had had some training in Australia and Rudd was convinced he could stop him where Howard had not. Soon, after Rudd became PM, on 11th February 2008, Reinado attempted to detain the Timorise leadership of Ramos-Horta and Gusmao, and was killed. It was soon called an assassination attempt. It looked like a bungled black ops which resulted in poisoning what had once been a good relationship between Australia and Timor. Had Kevin Rudd bungled the issue with a rushed black ops mission? My name is David Daniel Ball, and I'm here to help.

Who will be left for Democrats after Obama, Biden, HRC, Schiff, Warren and Pelosi are prosecuted for their Russia Collusion Hoax? What will be left of the FBI and DOJ after Mueller, Comey et al are prosecuted for their collusion? Dan Bongino discusses the explosive exposure of how Russia has had HRC emails from her illegal server in which HRC tried to deflect from her exposure by blaming President Trump. What of the powerful tech business allies of HRC who colluded to get Biden elected President? How will FB, Google, youtube and Twitter be affected? Will their CEO's escape jail time? What of CNN? NBCNews?, CBSNews? FoxNews?

I'm waiting for delayed gratification. T45 may well be the greatest President USA has had, based on analysis of achievements to date. He fixed a broken economy. He achieved peace by not going to war. He commandeered initiative in science and tech. He worked for all constituents, not the corrupt few which his opponents focused on.

Opposition to T45 has been substantially larger than for any previous President. The Russia Hoax dominated (swamped) his Presidency. Treasonous activity by tech giants and social elite have persecuted T45. Partly, that was at T45's behest because he was an outsider to Washington. Trump has walked a path others have not because opposition to outsiders is fierce. Including from within his own party, with RINO members part of the swamp.

Trump won re-election in terms of votes cast in record numbers. The swamp is trying to steal it from him. The swamp are abusing legal avenues to prevent analysis of their illegal activity. What will happen when it is decided that has not worked? How many people will the swamp kill to protect their 'interests'? In order to protect the union, SCOTUS has not acted prematurely. It is up to state legislatures to do the right thing. How will RINO affect the outcome of those state legislature? Will RINO break the union to support the swamp?

Don't give up on hope. Victoria can be a modern state with a lean government making excellent decision that benefit her people. We just need to get rid of Dan Andrews and install Matthew Guy. On every issue Victorians care about, be it crime, cost of living, Infrastructure, or a thriving volunteer culture, the answer is to ditch the Dan Andrews government and install Matthew Guy.

Problematically, Malcolm Turnbull is sucking oxygen away from state Liberals. Turnbull needs to keep promoting himself or be turfed. Turnbull should have been dumped after an abysmal showing at the Bennelong By Election. But the bedwetters are holding on in the hopes that holding to an awful leader will impress voters as ALP face by elections. Who is worse for Australia, Turnbull or Shorten? Turnbull is offering a 19 year old failed campaign on a referendum on a republic. The model to be used is the awful divisive campaign Turnbull hashed over SSM. And like SSM, opposition to a republic won't be given money or government support. But Turnbull needs to move forward. Otherwise Turnbull looks like he is dithering while he dithers.

The movie Network with Peter Finch and Faye Dunaway is outstanding for illustrating a faithless view of the world. A world without God is a world in need of God. Full credit to the actors for portraying the Director's vision. It is also a writer's tour de force. Today's movies tend to multiple writers covering all dimensions, but in Network, only the sick left wing view of society is shown. God is invisible and people of faith have no vision and people of vision have no faith. I have seen a child preacher praising God with the same passion as Finch's Beale character, but the difference being the child had faith while Finch's character had nihilism. Because although a faithful person's exposition can sound absurd, it can be understood by the faithful, exactly as left winger's get nihilism.

The December IPA Review is out and Daniel Wild wrote “Smothered by Nostalgia” on Yuval Levin’s “The fractured republic” about USA post Brexit. USA is divided into two camps looking back with nostalgia to times that will never come again. The thesis holds that the US right-wing long for the glory days of 1951 or 1979. The left look for 1965. According to thesis, USA is both very big government and very individualised without mediation of institutional assets that used to bridge the gap: Religion; Family; and extended community. It is a libertarian argument that is a straw dog covering a need for libertarianism. No sane right winger dreams of the glory days where a clapped out and corrupt Truman administration is just going to lose an election, or when a corrupt and clueless Carter is going to lose after one term. They want a few years after when Eisenhower was instituting the roads plan and on path to a crushing agenda setting win, or when Reagan would set USA on course to be the sole superpower. I’m not sure left wingers dream of the post assassination JFK days when Democrats hired a killer of MLK. But I can’t always be sure about the left. The USA has always been in terrible shape after a Democrat incumbency. Democrats attack cultural assets, they have to to set their agenda. There are many GOP who are disappointed with Trump. But Trump heads the GOP and will lead it. America is going to be very big soon, and her government is going to shrink big. That doesn’t mean we need libertarian ideals. And when Trump is successful, it won’t mean libertarians ‘won.’

An interesting side thought from the Wild article is to do with mediating government to the individual. It sounds like a totalitarian's dream. I called a mediating authority regarding busses on New Years Eve and they lied to me. Busses had been diverted from a bus stop as a planned mistake. They didn’t admit that, just saying nothing was wrong and they didn’t know what was happening. I had another similar experience post election when I contacted another mediating authority about pro-ALP election signs inappropriately placed. They lied for the ALP to cover them against liability. The very mechanism proposed is an apology for big government and corruption, something libertarians claim to oppose. Yet libertarians often seem to embrace their shadow. Maybe the extreme left is the god child of the libertarian after all. Conservatism is simply not that monolithic. Libertarians cannot become conservative merely by saying it is defined that way.

There is discussion on the Bolt Report Supporter's Group regarding trolls. Trolls are really easy to deal with when recognised. But members of the group are demanding that the trolls be booted. But booting is not the way of this group's administration. We do boot, and have blocked 3121 accounts and have 27,572 members. Many of the blocked accounts are accounts that were created to join this forum to be disruptive. Some just asked to be booted after they didn't know how to leave. It isn't admin's job to make sure you have a safe space to get along. You can defend yourself by blocking if you will. Please don't ask us to boot people because you think others need to be protected. As for one particular troll, allegedly a former ABC radio entity that allegedly retired to live in France. We don't know anything about who someone is by an account. People can be confident David Daniel Ball is who he says he is because he is a public figure who has run for federal, state and local elections and has verifiable public data about him. But the troll allegedly from the ABC tossing around opinions may merely be a jihadi sympathising taxi driver who failed to get two of his 'wives' recognised by Centrelink and has had to call them daughters instead. To deal with it, argue only on discussion topics. I promise you you will win. It will not address basic facts. It will throw up straw dogs. For example, it might say Shorten has not been convicted of a crime. Which is a reasonable statement. However, Shorten has never been demonstrated to be competent either. Name something Shorten has done that was good. Was achieving the second worst support for the ALP since WW2 (after Rudd's failure) a successful achievement? Even though he was only faced with the worst Liberal leader and deputy in the party's history?

=== from 2015 ===

Bad administration dithers. In the ancient sense of the word, to dither is tremble. It is a reaction, not controlled by thought or purpose. Malcolm Turnbull has an opportunity to give unions the leadership they deserve, and prevent the widespread endemic corruption which has sustained the ALP for decades. But will he do it? Maybe the union members want corrupt leadership? Maybe the poorest workers of the land want to be exploited by corrupt overlords. It is hard for Turnbull to know what to do. Maybe if Turnbull acts he will be criticised. The words used by the ALP in defence of corruption sound mean and strong. Turnbull promised to explain his actions. He never promised to explain inaction. Maybe an April election will save him from making a decision. Malcolm needs to look decisive. If only there was an issue that he could be decisive with and look good.

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

From 2014

The Greste case has changed direction with an Egyptian court giving him a retrial. They have decided that some of the evidence leading to his conviction of propaganda favouring the Muslim Brotherhood included personal photos and reports from other news agencies. Those pictures and reports were salient to his his guilt of propagandising .. he had been present in places where he misleading reported what was not news. But the charge resting specifically to him has been decided to be only for those reports he made with his news organisation. The problem is that news organisations have been lying in the Middle East for a long time. The world is ignorant of Israeli affairs, even as it is widely reported, for many reasons, which at times looks anti semitic. And so Greste doesn't have much room to stand, even as he has worked with good intentions. In Australia, unprofessionalism is accepted in journalism. But in Egypt people are upset that press lies have gotten people killed. Greste does not deserve the persecution. But he doesn't deserve to be called a journalist either. It is similar to a soldier who retires and takes up service with a third party security organisation. He is exposed and professionally compromised. He should be sent home. But then so should Jonathan Pollard. And while Egypt is faced with a question of statesmanship, so is the US.

A bad ALP government tried to control the economy and superheated it, resulting in interest rates for home loans approaching twenty percent, resulting in real wage cuts of over twenty four percent over twelve years, resulting in shifting control of superannuation from responsible bodies to corrupt unions. That was a better government to the last ALP government which, over six years, trashed the Australian economy and left a debt legacy that our children will struggle to pay. The ALP is blocking needed reform which would address their irresponsible government activity. Shorten has made promises on becoming leader of how he would behave. He claimed he would make decisions based on national interest. But he hasn't. He has caved into populism. In the short term, he is getting kudos for strangling the government in the senate. But that will be shown to be illusory as an election nears when even the independents who vote ALP will risk voting to be reelected instead. Shorten has offered no alternatives to the policy he has blocked. He hasn't negotiated. Just as he failed to address Gillard's corrupt support for Slipper by declaring he hadn't heard what Gillard had said, he supported it, before knifing her and installing Rudd, Shorten again fails to act responsibly, preferring to hope that press kudos will cover up his policy free agenda.

There is a reason why big spending ALP is policy free. It has to do with their electorates which are welfare rich zones of poverty. And if ALP government had its' way, everyone would be poor. According to journalists who are partisan in following the ALP, the reason why AirAsia flight 8501 crashed was global warming. The fact is it is safer to fly now than in previous years and fewer storms, so, how did global warming do the deed? France had fewer New Year car-b-ques than in previous years. Possibly because many of the responsible youths are playing in ISIL territory this year. Or, possibly because Gaia was wrath-ing upon an airplane instead. Sad, because the ALP could have really cornered those youth votes.

From 2013

Over regulation seems to have had a driver fined with travelling 1 km/h over the limit. Their fine was quashed on examination. What would have happened had the conscientious police man not tried to match speed? What accident might have resulted at 61, which would not have happened at 60? What if drivers decided collectively they couldn't travel at the limit, but slower than the limit? It happened in Queensland, so maybe there was more to it. Maybe 'Butch' Cassidy worked for Clive Palmer and was trying to escape a ravenous dinosaur? I know what I dread more.

A prominent former cricketer on ABC1 assures the viewer in a pre show advert that he would run through brick walls if Ricky Ponting had asked him. Neither play for Australia anymore, but it is doubtful the athletic achievement of running through brick walls would have done much for either career outside of a circus. Not even Gillard could have used that type of loyalty. But it is probable she demanded it. But it is that kind of loyalty which impresses about AGW believers. And one can only imagine what those brick walls have done to their minds. Al Gore has not helped those researchers stuck on ice, who will be unable to report on the warming world because they are stuck on ice. As is their rescuers. One thing is certain, it isn't leftists picking up the rubbish once the ship moves on.

We have hope. It is incumbent on us to win back the freedom denied us. And to protect that freedom. We will do that democratically. We will take back our legislature. We will get our courts to return to protecting our constitution.

I have lost everything several times. And yet here I am. Behind me is an Australian flag and a MAGA cap. On my MAGA cap is an American flag. I will die, one day. But, I pledge allegiance to the flag (of Australia and) the United States of America. And to the republics for which they stand. One nation. Indivisible. Under God. With liberty, and justice, for all.

We are being lied to. But not by everyone. Our nations and their justice machinery are not broken, but damaged. Things are bad, but they are supposed to be bad, rather than merely breaking. We can't give up. We must reject the liars, and remove them from public office, and prosecute them lawfully. Things can get better, but we must persevere or risk losing hope. We must not fight the Devil by playing the Devil's game. Rather we must resist the Devil by being free. There is no law against doing what is right. Their utter depravity kills us. They target us and they seek to restrain us. But while the greatest among us a hundred years ago has died, their legacy has not. That which we are, we are. Lockdowns were ineffective in dealing with COVID. Effective medication has been denied whole populations. Herd immunity will prevail. Fraud deleteriously affected recent elections around the world. But, Democracy will prevail. Our oppressors will pass. For us to win, we must assert our freedoms. For us to lose, we must willingly surrender our freedoms forever. Our children will have to pay back our debt. We must sacrifice now so that they can. That means telling truth to power. That means pointing up when when some get confused and lose their way. Stand by the one who sacrificed their pension and freedoms to speak out. Prosecute the ones forgiven by a debauched and self interested administration. Vote for those who help you exercise your freedom. Don't wait for free speech. Exercise free speech.

My name is David Daniel Ball I'm a teacher with three decades experience teaching math to high school kids.I also work with first graders and kids in between first grade and high school. I know the legends of why Hypatia's dad is remembered through his contribution to Math theory. And I know the legend of why followers of Godel had thought he had disproved God's existence.

I'm not a preacher, but I am a Christian who has written over 28 books all of which include some reference to my faith. Twelve blog books on world history and current affairs, detailing world events , births and marriages on each day of the year, organised by month. Twelve books on the background to and history of Bible Quotes. One Bible quote per day for a year. An intro to a science fiction series I'm planning, post apocalyptic cyber punk. An autobiography with short story collections.

I'm known in Australia for my failure as a whistleblower over the negligence death of a school boy. I had reported the issue responsibly and had not known I'd blown the whistle. The embarrassed left wing government had responded by imposition of a nationwide ban on the use of peanut butter in canteens, despite failing to address the issue of peanut allergy appropriately.

I've been de-platformed on Facebook and twitter despite not being an activist. Twitter did not like me asking for Obama to face justice in 2011. FB gave no specific reason for removing me following Jan 6th 2021 in Washington DC where a policeman killed an unarmed woman, so a crowd would know he was in control.

From the Bible, Matthew 5:27-48

Adultery

“You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart. If your right eye causes you to stumble, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. And if your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go into hell.

Divorce

“It has been said, ‘Anyone who divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce.’ But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, makes her the victim of adultery, and anyone who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

Oaths

“Again, you have heard that it was said to the people long ago, ‘Do not break your oath, but fulfill to the Lord the vows you have made.’ But I tell you, do not swear an oath at all: either by heaven, for it is God’s throne; or by the earth, for it is his footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the Great King. And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make even one hair white or black. All you need to say is simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything beyond this comes from the evil one.

Eye for Eye

“You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.’ But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also. And if anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, hand over your coat as well. If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two miles. Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.

Love for Enemies

“You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

Cabal steals Georgia run off and claims senate in illegitimate election. Riots force VP Pence to withdraw from Congress. Cabal are fighting, but they have not won.

It is outrageous how #FakeNews poisonously position facts. Today, on Capitol Hill where Congress were meeting to count electoral college votes and decide the 2020 presidential election outcome, rent a crowd rioters of the same type favoured by BLM and Antifa shot and killed a woman, forcing VP Pence to be evacuated and shutting down proceedings. Proceedings which probably would show Trump won. Trump had organised a peaceful demonstration and people had arrived in substantial numbers. The local mayor who seemed to encourage BLM and Antifa riots, had called in National Guard when they realised Trump's demonstrators were substantial in numbers. And #FakeNews reports "US election: Pro-Trump protesters storm Capitol over Electoral College vote count" and "The chaos arose after MAGA protesters stormed the Capitol in an attempt to overthrow democracy in the dying days of Donald Trump’s presidency this morning."

In fact, the scheduled assembly in congress was the first opportunity Trump has had to present the substantial evidence of election fraud. It is constitutional and proper for Trump to debate in that forum, that way. We know Trump is not behind the rioting, we know the Cabal are. We know the Cabal are keen for Trump to over reach and use police or military to put down the insurrection. The so called 'coup' is the Cabal installing Biden and Harris to the Presidency.

One commentator wrote to me today to say it is over. It is not over. In fact, it is only the beginning. We must overthrow (legitimately) Rino like Romney, who blamed Trump for the rioting. We must overthrow the foreign influence that has seized the Democrat leadership. We must overthrow the tech giants who favour the Cabal and act as enforcers. We must stand for our nation to keep liberty and equality for all, alive.

U.S. Capitol was placed under lockdown and Vice President Mike Pence left the floor of Congress as hundreds of protesters swarmed past barricades surrounding the building where lawmakers were debating Joe Biden’s victory in the Electoral College.

Protesters rallying in support of Donald Trump tried to push past police barriers at the U.S. Capitol after the president said he’d “never concede” his election loss and some congressional employees were initially told to evacuate following bomb threats.

Thousands of people streamed past barricades set up around the Capitol complex on Wednesday afternoon while lawmakers meeting inside debated the Electoral College’s vote giving Biden the presidency.

Loud booms were heard around the legislative building as police in riot gear undertook crowd control measures, including the use of pepper spray.

At the same time, a notice sent to staffers Wednesday at the Cannon House Office Building, across the street from the Capitol, told employees to “move in a safe manner to the exits” and “proceed immediately to your designated assembly area” following the bomb threats. The notice was later retracted.

As of 3 p.m. ET, ABC News cited reports that protesters had gotten to the third floor of the building, where they were seen going door to door and shouting, "Where the ---- are they?"

Though lawmakers were spirited away, they began to react. Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, tweeted, "This is what the president has caused today ... this insurrection," a response to an earlier rally in which President Donald Trump exhorted supporters to continue to back his case for a stolen election.

Rep. Karen Bass, also on ABC, said, "This is just shocking." The Capitol Police were outnumbered, she said, and the National Guard would surely need to be summoned to help in clearing "this embarrassment to our country."

Any other country this was happening, it would be called a coup," said Rep. Adam Kinzinger. He also accused Trump of spinning up the tensions resulting in the siege.

=== From 2018 ===

Don't give up on hope. Sydney endured a heat wave making her the hottest place in the world today. It was not from global warming. What happened was dry inland Australia ground was heated by direct sunlight. The stagnant hot air drifted East. Sunlight on water does not reach such high temperatures. A Bradfield Scheme of flooding inland Australia would prevent these heatwaves, but environmentalists have resisted this practical earth cooling measure for decades. Tony Abbott got through a 100 dams plan which will do the job, but Queensland ALP are resisting it, as have NT ALP and SA ALP. Meanwhile in Melbourne a 15 yo fire starter has been placed on bail.

Twenty five years after the awful Clinton Presidency gifted USA the WACO siege, papers report on a postal service guy who delivered guns. But the crystal meth does not shock or explain what happened to the press.

Murdering, riotous children of illegal refugees hate Australia, but their 'community leaders' resist rehabilitation steps or deportation. The claim is that their original nations would kill them. Meanwhile traumatised victims are supposed to accept it? The community needs to be protected. It is not a sufficient excuse that violence is cultural.

A 'balanced' news article on an ALP member who gave a gratuitous NAZI slur refers to last years euthanasia debate and (Liberal) Bernie Finn's comments. Let's ignore the slur for the moment. I feel it is wrong to legislate murder when palliative care suffices. I also feel it is wrong to drown people who would like to come to Australia to prosper. I also think it is wrong to have weak borders which threaten the lives of civilians. Feel free to argue the points, or accept the Liberals are right on all counts of substance and the ALP, backed by the media, are not.

What I said came true. SJW labelled my comment as spam. It linked an OrbWeaver song "The Distant Call of Home" after a 'lol' My common interests include music. I get the joke, I don't get why some SJW labelled my comment spam. The joke was "To solve the current Presidential problem, all one need do is tell the President Obama can hold his breath for ten minutes."

Is there a competent ALP government in Australia? The Northern territory government is new and already they have failed over flag issues of tourism and child incarceration. A long serving ALP government in South Australia has well known failure in energy and industry. First term ALP governments in Victoria and Queensland have cost citizens billions of dollars with bad judgement which threatens lives. Queensland ALP are protecting bike gangs and Victoria's ALP have killed volunteer firefighters. In Victoria, crime is rampant as the government prevents effective measures but spends big to satisfy the unions. In Queensland, it is a miracle if public transport works at all.

A mentally ill former soldier shot many people in a Florida airport. He had claimed the government was forcing him to watch ISIS videos. I feel the mainstream media, not the government, are trying to normalise terrorism. Obama's neglect of veterans hurts all of us. The fake news of media in support of ISIS is a disservice to all of us. Just like the ALP in Australia, I wonder if there is a competent left wing government anywhere in the world. I welcome examples, if they are known. I'm not accepting local government answers. Garbage collection is important, but recycling is a croc.

A satire paper in Germany suggested women augment their arm length. This was in response to the Cologne Mayor suggesting women keep men at arms length from them and not let men molest them. A statement that did not deserve to be taken seriously. Merkel has made the comment that it is expected that refugee migrants be less civil than ordinary German peoples. That is true, but needs to be addressed, not ignored. Police need the authority and numbers to keep the peace. On the plus side, women with augmented arms could prepare food and do the ironing without moving as far. This highlights how the competing interests of leftism, feminism and islamo fascists, don't reconcile in policy.

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

A sneak preview of a new ABC drama/comedy Maximum Choppage has been released on Youtube. Author, actor and producer Timothy Ly began a no budget concept thirteen years ago, and got a local community to help him produce a movie and a number of related offerings. The local talent developed by Rumble Pictures is impressive and hopefully the series will be the first of many such offerings.

Many are writing off Premier Campbell Newman's chances of keeping his seat while winning government in the Jan 31st election in Queensland. Newman is in what is naturally an ALP seat. However, Newman's resolve and loyalty are true ALP values, the best of the ALP and should be rewarded by that electorate. Sadly, the ALP hope to take that community for granted. Newman is their one hope for an honest and effective representative.

AGW alarmists are haunted by extinction. Peter Hannam wishes skeptics were extinct. Ben Cubby suggests an amnesty without saying what the amnesty would entail. If Skeptics of AGW were to stop pointing to the facts of global warming being a myth, what would Ben do for us? Would he make us extinct? A giant clam found in South China seas is analysed to show it was warmer in the Middle Ages than today. AGW extremists would describe that as confirmation bias, because skeptics were looking for that evidence.

Refugee Council lauds an elderly woman in Sydney who placed a banner outside her place, expressing shame that Australia is no longer drowning refugees. The council considers placing the banner brave. In such terms, turning off an alarm and going back to sleep is also brave.

Amnesty International tries to explain why they supported a thief who became a wife killing terrorist. They aren't going to say they hated the then Howard government and wanted to cause problems for it, but that is probably closest to the truth. Instead they claim tat under current processes they would not do that today. If so, they need to explain how Monis was different to David Hicks in terms of today's policy.

Lebanese porn star answers her critics well by pointing out there are more pressing issues in the Middle East.

From 2014

The New York Times has described them as 'Warmists' since 1989. One can look at the greenhouse gasses in Earth's atmosphere, and correctly deduce Carbon Dioxide is only responsible for feeding plants. Maybe the technology will exist one day to remove water vapour from the atmosphere, but if that time comes, let us hope there is sufficient wisdom to not do that. US is enduring a cold snap. Summer is so cold in Australia that a research vessel is locked in ice. But Warmists stoically endure.

Evil endures too. Like that of those german women who followed through with the holocaust. One has to shudder at what the daily atrocity in Middle East is doing to the children there. Obama has isolated the only state capable of stability and peace, Israel. Evil endures as those who collect money for the poor, divert it. Tim Costello and World Vision need to explain themselves.

Some were surprised at the sentence of a thug. It is ok, he wasn't going to kill a shark. An eight year old girl is wearing a suicide vest in Afghanistan, proving Obama has indeed won the war.

January 6: Morning

"Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you." - 1 Peter 5:7

It is a happy way of soothing sorrow when we can feel--"HE careth for me." Christian! do not dishonour religion by always wearing a brow of care; come, cast your burden upon your Lord. You are staggering beneath a weight which your Father would not feel. What seems to you a crushing burden, would be to him but as the small dust of the balance. Nothing is so sweet as to

"Lie passive in God's hands,
And know no will but his."

O child of suffering, be thou patient; God has not passed thee over in his providence. He who is the feeder of sparrows, will also furnish you with what you need. Sit not down in despair; hope on, hope ever. Take up the arms of faith against a sea of trouble, and your opposition shall yet end your distresses. There is One who careth for you. His eye is fixed on you, his heart beats with pity for your woe, and his hand omnipotent shall yet bring you the needed help. The darkest cloud shall scatter itself in showers of mercy. The blackest gloom shall give place to the morning. He, if thou art one of his family, will bind up thy wounds, and heal thy broken heart. Doubt not his grace because of thy tribulation, but believe that he loveth thee as much in seasons of trouble as in times of happiness. What a serene and quiet life might you lead if you would leave providing to the God of providence! With a little oil in the cruse, and a handful of meal in the barrel, Elijah outlived the famine, and you will do the same. If God cares for you, why need you care too? Can you trust him for your soul, and not for your body? He has never refused to bear your burdens, he has never fainted under their weight. Come, then, soul! have done with fretful care, and leave all thy concerns in the hand of a gracious God.

Evening

"Now the hand of the Lord was upon me in the evening." -Ezekiel 33:22

In the way of judgment this may be the case, and, if so, be it mine to consider the reason of such a visitation, and bear the rod and him that hath appointed it. I am not the only one who is chastened in the night season; let me cheerfully submit to the affliction, and carefully endeavour to be profited thereby. But the hand of the Lord may also be felt in another manner, strengthening the soul and lifting the spirit upward towards eternal things. O that I may in this sense feel the Lord dealing with me! A sense of the divine presence and indwelling bears the soul towards heaven as upon the wings of eagles. At such times we are full to the brim with spiritual joy, and forget the cares and sorrows of earth; the invisible is near, and the visible loses its power over us; servant-body waits at the foot of the hill, and the master-spirit worships upon the summit in the presence of the Lord. O that a hallowed season of divine communion may be vouchsafed to me this evening! The Lord knows that I need it very greatly. My graces languish, my corruptions rage, my faith is weak, my devotion is cold; all these are reasons why his healing hand should be laid upon me. His hand can cool the heat of my burning brow, and stay the tumult of my palpitating heart. That glorious right hand which moulded the world can new-create my mind; the unwearied hand which bears the earth's huge pillars up can sustain my spirit; the loving hand which incloses all the saints can cherish me; and the mighty hand which breaketh in pieces the enemy can subdue my sins. Why should I not feel that hand touching me this evening? Come, my soul, address thy God with the potent plea, that Jesus' hands were pierced for thy redemption, and thou shalt surely feel that same hand upon thee which once touched Daniel and set him upon his knees that he might see visions of God.

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)
