This column is reliant on Facebook providing embed codes to users. Many of the comments made in each editorial reference those articles shared on Facebook and by denying the code, Facebook prevent the easy distribution of those articles and another way will have to be found. Meaning less time spent on Facebook. An expected fall back will be Twitter. Facebook are free to do anything they please. Those embed codes mean they have badged those articles I reference and it is good for them. And my moving away from Facebook to Twitter will mean less traffic long term, but also less traffic when my column takes off. Currently Sydney Conservative gets from a thousand hits a day to four thousand hits a day. Libertarianism is idealistic for adherents, but unlike other ideals, it isn't perfectly expressed. A Libertarian wants 'reduced regulation' but not 'no regulation,' which is anarchy. And Anarchy is very different to Libertarian. Markets don't need the distortion of over regulation, but they need sufficient to be markets which function as markets. So a person who calls themselves Libertarian is being dishonest if they say it means they don't like rules. There are some they think are sensible. The question remains which? Just as with Conservatives, Libertarians can have markedly different positions which fall under the umbrella. Unlike socialists which tend to converge to one opinion which fails to holistically retain expression sensibly. Ultimately, the Conservative Voice articles published under Sydney Conservative wants to be independent of Google, Facebook and their arbitrary rules.

In Sydney an ADF guy was attacked by people who roughly fit the bill of Islamic. Because of that, it is lucky it is reported at all. The age has declined to report a couple of cars in Melbourne which stopped in a street and had occupants brawling. Had they not appeared to be Islamic, it might have been reported. People need to be aware of public disturbances so they know where they can be and make informed decisions, it is a basic part of freedom in Democracy. Already there are those who are obfuscating the issue and it will be the tension between Islam and terror. Terrorists claim to be Islamic. Islamic leaders embrace their values. But the activity of terrorists is not reflective of Islam according to Islamic peoples. There is a reason why young Islamic peoples are radicalised, and that reason is disputed by terrorist apologists. And for that the reason lies outside Islam. Because some of the worst killers in the Middle East are radicals raised in the West. The disturbing thought is that they are radicalised by the west towards Islam and it is important for us to know why. But apologists are obfuscating over the issue. The obvious reality is that truth is not part of the radical ideology. And in the west the left wing deconstructionists have disregarded truth in favour of opinion. Children like direction, and react badly when denied it. This is not to excuse the activity of terrorists as being upset children, but trying to understand their behaviour so as to address it. And media are not doing their job, and because of that, it exists.

Putting aside terrorism for a moment, mainstream media have done a bad job of explaining things to reasonable people. On Al Jazeera with a range of others exploring radicalisation of Islamic Youth was Jason Morison who is a reasonable bloke and 'centre right' in political outlook, although he often is too balanced and takes on left wing values at times. Like he did in this particular interview when he deplored the activity of radicalised youths participating in terrorism over seas. So the terrorist apologist asked him if he felt the same way about youths going to Israel to serve in the IDF. The panel convenor did not provide a framework for Morison and he made the common mistake of saying that there was equivalence between terrorism and serving in the IDF. Morison is not stupid and would be aware of his mistake, but in interview, destabilised by different apologists for terror, Morison agreed to something stupid. There is no equivalence between an IDF officer and a terrorist. An IDF officer is as well trained as any Australian Soldier and would not be party to what terrorists do. We are too conditioned to be reasonable when faced with terrorist lies. Because the truth is not discussed in mainstream media, it is not known that Palestinians are not a real people, but a UN construction only coming into existence after 1967. It is not known that Lebanon fought a civil war which impinged on Israel. It is not known that Israel is a peaceful nation beset by those wanting her destroyed. And the chaff thrown up by mainstream media means when faced with those truths, a reasonable person throws up their hands and says they don't know what to think. There are too many competing voices without truth for the obvious reality to be seen. And this is what is radicalising Islamic Youth. Not Islam, although the leaders seem confused on that issue. It is the ABC and Fairfax and mainstream media pushing excuses and memes for hungry radical leaders. The narratives drift at mainstream media hubs so as to satisfy the broader accusation of blood libel of Jews dating back before the Protocol of the Elders of Zion. Only that work was made as an anti semitic lie.

Has immigration brought terror to Australia? Should we blame Islam before Australia? Is terrorism protected by anti racism? Is the Wolf at the door .. or in the house? The Grand Mufti can't speak English or the language of his followers. The boy who was shot by police heavily identified with ISIS .. was he a terrorist? Certainly the person the Age identified was not a terrorist, but the child of a hero who, now he has been identified, is at risk of terrorists everywhere. Age suggests appeasement as a course of action and the Left fail to understand why kids are radicalised by leftwing rhetoric. A Frenchman is beheaded by terrorists and Darwin Muslims pray against terror. And finally we find Islamic leaders who preach the religion of peace. And bigots who hate Islam try to goad everyone into opposing Islam to oppose terrorism.

Generational welfare related to migration? University training too liberal? Nuclear power and dams are best for limiting plant food, Cate Blanchet gets an honorary science doctorate by spouting hysteric AGW lies. Meanwhile a union kicks out a whistleblower who reports on their corruption and an HSU boss testifies that he lied for ALP Vice President Williamson about bogus payments credited to Williamson from union members.

Jingle Bell Rock

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring
Snowin' and blowin' up bushels of fun
Now the jingle hop has begun

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time
Dancin' and prancin' in Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty air

What a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go glidin' in a one-horse sleigh

Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jinglin' feet
That's the jingle bell rock

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock

Jingle around the clock

Intro to Locals for the Conservative Voice

David Daniel Ball calls himself the Conservative Voice.

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. ...

Is free speech impossible?

Remember Patrick Henry's words: "Give me liberty or give me death." Don't let illusions of impossibility silence you—act today to ensure free speech endures for tomorrow. What's one step you'll take right now?

Free speech has been challenged before. In the US, World War I and World War II imposed wartime restrictions. The prolonged nature of the Vietnam War made such restrictions obvious, as did the war in Afghanistan. However, the failure of the press to remain free has led to remarkable academic debate. It is now claimed—and widely accepted—that free speech is illusory and not truly possible. Minor restrictions on style are said to mean that speech was never free. This view is Orwellian. What happened?

In antiquity, was there free speech in Athens when Socrates was ordered to leave? He drank poison rather than accept exile, but he had had his say. When Athens defeated Persia at sea, scuttling an invasion plan, the successful generals were ...

  • Tempo: 72 BPM (mid-tempo, allowing for reflective build-up to passionate release). - Rhythm: Steady 4/4 time signature with a driving quarter-note pulse in verses, shifting to half-time feel in the bridge for emphasis, then full band crescendo in final chorus. - Instruments: Start sparse with acoustic guitar (fingerpicked arpeggios) and piano (sustained chords). Add electric guitar (ambient swells and delay effects), bass (root-note emphasis), drums (subtle kick and snare build), and synth pads for atmospheric depth. Include background vocals ...

Memo to France

What exactly have the Palestinians done to demonstrate they’re ready for a state?

Some observations:

📷 There are still 50 hostages in Gaza

📷 They refuse every ceasefire proposal

📷 The Palestinian Authority hasn’t held elections since 2006

📷 Corruption is rampant

📷 Children are taught to glorify terrorism

📷 There’s no accountability, no rule of law, and no democratic institutions

So tell us, Emmanuel Macron: what part of this looks like a state-in-waiting?

Ballad of Jampijinpa: A Warlpiri Dreamtime Bambi in the Tanami Desert
improved marketing on Rumble
placeholder
Journey to the Tanami Desert with the Ballad of Jampijinpa, a Warlpiri Jukurrpa retelling of Bambi. Follow Jampijinpa, a young red kangaroo, as he learns the sacred laws of his Country from Napangardi, faces dangers like the machine’s shadow, and rises as a leader under the Seven Sisters’ stars. This Dreamtime story celebrates Warlpiri culture, resilience, and connection to the land. Comment your favorite Indigenous story below! Subscribe for more Warlpiri tales and join my Locals for exclusive Jukurrpa insights.
The story of Bambi is, for many, their first encounter with profound loss. Writing this story in Warlpiri Dreamtime, Tanami Desert context. Loss is part of life, yet life goes on. But, a good life, serving the community is also important. How do Indigenous stories like Jampijinpa’s inspire you?
 
Notes on the Adaptation: Setting and Characters: The Tanami Desert replaces the forest, with native animals (red kangaroo, dingo, mallee fowl, perentie) as characters, reflecting the local ecology. Warlpiri skin names (Jampijinpa, Napangardi, etc.) root the characters in kinship systems, central to Warlpiri identity. Jukurrpa: The Dreamtime frames the story as a sacred narrative, where loss and growth are part of the land’s law. The “shadow” (a machine) nods to modern intrusions like mining, a real threat in the Tanami, but keeps the story timeless. Themes: Bambi’s coming-of-age becomes a journey of learning country and law, emphasizing Warlpiri values of responsibility and connection. The mother’s death and the fire echo Bambi’s trials but are grounded in desert realities. Cultural Respect: I avoided inventing sacred details or mimicking restricted Warlpiri stories, focusing on universal elements (land, kinship, survival) informed by public Warlpiri narratives, like those shared in art or ethnographies.
 
The Ballad of Jampijinpa In Tanami’s heart where the spinifex sways, ‘Neath the Jukurrpa’s first starlit blaze, The ancestors carved from the red desert’s hand, Young Jampijinpa, to guard sacred land.
Chorus: Oh, Jampijinpa, with bounds swift and free, Carry the law of your country’s decree. Through sand and through sorrow, your spirit will roam, In the Tanami’s dreaming, you’ll always find home.
Napangardi taught him the desert’s old ways, Where soakages shimmer through blistering days. The bilby’s soft tracks led to yams in the ground, And the wind whispered tales when no rain could be found. With Jangala, dingo, he leaped o’er the plain, While Nungarrayi tidied the earth’s ancient pain. The oaks sang of patience, the elders stood near, Their ochre-lit eyes guiding young kangaroo’s fear. But dawn brought a shadow, a roar cold as stone, A machine’s cruel hunger tore flesh from the bone. Napangardi fell, her spirit took flight, To the ancestors’ campfire in the starwoven night.
Chorus: Oh, Jampijinpa, with bounds swift and free, Carry the law of your country’s decree. Through sand and through sorrow, your spirit will roam, In the Tanami’s dreaming, you’ll always find home.
Alone, he wandered, his heart like a stone, The sand stung his eyes, and the silence did moan. But Japangardi rose, scales gleaming bright, “You’re never lost, son, in the Jukurrpa’s light.” The bilby taught digging, the oak whispered peace, Nungarrayi scratched paths where the stories increase. Jangala’s yips brought a laugh to the blaze, And Jampijinpa grew strong through the desert’s hard days. Then Nakamarra, with dawn in her gaze, Danced by his side through the sandhills’ soft maze. But fire returned, born of shadow’s old sin, Yet Jampijinpa led kin to the soakage within.
Chorus: Oh, Jampijinpa, with bounds swift and free, Carry the law of your country’s decree. Through sand and through sorrow, your spirit will roam, In the Tanami’s dreaming, you’ll always find home.
Atop the red dune, his shadow stretched far, A keeper of law ‘neath the desert’s bright star. The elders now sing from their camp in the sky, And Jampijinpa’s tracks never fade, never die.
Final Chorus: Oh, Jampijinpa, your story’s been spun, A thread in the Jukurrpa, forever begun. The Tanami dreams, and its stars softly call, For the kangaroo’s heart that will never grow small.
