Terrorism obscured by religion
ABC have found an Anglican Minister who is anti semitic and always welcome at 'pro Palestinian' marches. He likes boxing and feels he can use that to get in close touch with troubled youths. He is also divorced. The Compass program gushed about his effectiveness. It recorded him denouncing church authorities for not supporting a murderous terrorist cult. One does not know what it means to be effective for David Smith. Is it the number of kids recruited to fight for ISIL?

Lone Wolf killers? How many Lone Wolves are in pack? At least five attacks have been noted world wide after ISIL called for revolution by terrorism. The latest being an axe attack on NY cops, the first being an attack on a Victorian Policeman and a Federal Australian cop. Such attacks are notoriously hard to predict or defend against. And some, like Green Senator Scott Ludlum or civil Libertarian Chris Berg oppose security arrangements making it safer for the public. Unlikely a lone wolf would ever bite one of them, right?

Europe rewards evil with ransoms. US and UK prisoners held captive by ISIL are treated very badly, while French, Spanish and Italians get better treatment after their governments had allegedly paid ransom. US and UK prisoners have also been filmed having their heads removed.

Sending a rescue mission to a jihadi? A fifteen year old denounces Tony Abbott and threatens terror assaults on the West. His father is galvanised into inaction, wishing to send a team to bring the boy back home, but afraid that such a team might appear to be aiding and abetting a terrorist fugitive. That couldn't happen because insane ALP parliamentarians refuse to pass laws allowing public safety, and so the laws against aiding and abetting terrorists have not been passed.

Ebola panic
Bono sprays Abbott re Ebola. Bono demands Abbott order health workers into a zone they might not be able to evacuate from. This is important, reasons Bono, to prove solidarity with the world. Not examined is the reason why Australia cannot secure evacuation privileges.

Ebola panic in NYC is evident as the Mayor denies it. It would be more believable if underlings kept po faces.
Mixed politics and stuff
Clinton's economic credentials were on display as the doormat shows twice in a minute why she is an economic dunce. Firstly, she charges a fortune so as to advise working poor to lift wages without productivity tradeoffs, and so guaranteeing more unemployment. Her second statement that businesses and corporations don't create jobs explains why she feels Obama's first term was successful.

In Newcastle in NSW two seats had been abandoned by the conservatives after sitting conservative members had been embarrassed. The resultant bye election had the ALP not expanding their vote appreciably, but obtaining the two seats until a general election in five months time. Conservatives will campaign next time. PUP did poorly.

Climate Change?
A direct Action climate change policy before Christmas? ALP and ABC are claiming they are confused. The Liberal party's direct action policy is said to be passed before Christmas, which might give Clive Palmer a life line to $2.55 billion in subsidies.

Walrus environmental scare exposed as it came out that the endangered species was very numerous despite climate change, and indigenous to the north.

MLB Update
Giants crushing win over Royals ties series two all. The match see sawed, with Giants getting a single in the first, Royals scoring four in the third, forcing a pitching change. But then, starting in the fifth and building, Giants ran amok, taking the match 11-4.

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

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

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 ...

Song Title: Life Awakened

Song Style and Performance Notes This worship song is inspired by Bethel Music and Hillsong Worship, featuring intimate verses that build into anthemic choruses with soaring melodies and emotional dynamics. Play in the key of G major for accessibility and warmth.

  • 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!

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.
