COVID 19 IS A RESPIRATORY VIRUS

The National 31 March 2021 letter to the editor Luimack Johnson

I understand the COVID 19 and its variants is a SARS virus which means that it is a respiratory virus that is airborne. 

That means that we cover our noses with the mask. There are so many people who cover only their mouths and walk around in public places.

Once in your lungs, the virus enters the air pockets (alveoli) and enters a receptor and replicates itself very fast and then the cell dies.

Your immune system detects the foreign cell and floods your lungs with fluid. The lungs act like a sponge and soaks up the fluid and makes it hard for you to breathe normally. 

It is commonly known as the Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS). With no oxygen to your vital organs, your body starts to shut down.

Without medical intervention and use of ventilators, your body simply dies. In most cases there is little to do with medical conditions.

Oxford Astra Zeneca has 70% efficiency. Novavax has 83.3% efficiency Papua New Guinea should consider vaccines around the 96% efficiency mark.

UNEMPLOYED AND STARVING FAMILIES FACE COVID19 ON THE STREETS

The Papua New Guinea bureaucracy sure knows when to put intolerable pressure on families. The Governor Powes Parkop is putting families out on the street and destroying their dwelling places right in the middle of the COV19 pandemic.

The National Housing Commission is demanding that tenants of their rental homes pay up their rental arrears at the point that some are unemployed with no money to spend on family or rent. Some are ending up on the streets with starving families.

We would think that all this would be subject to a moratorium during COVID19 and plans to build new suburbs on land taken back from settlers. People matter.

How do starving families seek food for families with no home and no place to seek refuge? How many family members living on the streets will be infected with COVID 19?

NHC and NHEL have in years past employed the most corrupt thieves in the bureaucracy, stealing mainly rental houses.

I lived in an NHEL house several years ago, paying the rent for an old Filipino man Astor Gabuyo at 5 Mile. Then he went overseas for medical treatment. I was caretaker. House stealers moved in.

The NHEL scumbags decided to evict me as I was running a brothel, not an HIV/AIDS care centre. There were people coming and going for HIV/AIDS Positive Living advice. The NHEL scumbags said the people were coming for sex. NHEL needs a good clean up. They stole houses for themselves.

The ringleader was NHEL lawyer and past AIDS Council lawyer Bomal Gonapa who was a paedophile Chimbu from Sina Sina. He died some months later probably from AIDS or anal infection. There were other troublemakers who died too. AIDS Holistics still lives.

VACCINATION FOR COVID 19

If the pandemic continues for several years and no vaccinations, the population of the world will drop by billions. Most of us will not be alive. Media reports advise that Astra Zeneca is 70% effective.

The community is having a field day with condemnation of the vaccine Astra Zeneca for COVID 19 according to Dr Paki Molumi Chief executive of Port Moresby General Hospital.

The views sought from readers of The National last week found about 90% refusing to being vaccinated. The PNG Prime Minister advises that the citizens can choose. We can thank the critics for that particularly those on FACEBOOK and street corners.

We are being told that the vaccine causes blood clotting which is a worry. This could lead to heart attacks, strokes and aneurisms. Then we are being told that this only applies to the aged people.

We have a pastor from the Mt Hagen Bible Church telling us not to be vaccinated. He says it is the work of God showing us his power with vaccine showing the Mark of the Beast. Vaccination has been with us for over 2 centuries. 

PNG has just completed an anti-polio campaign for children. The plan was to vaccinate every child in the nation. There are stupid people who oppose all vaccination.

There is a Bible Church in Waigani. I may just drop in on the Sabbath to assess observance of the COVID 19 protocols including social distancing in church and wearing masks.

How does the pastor not know that the vaccine is a gift from God? How do we not know that the pastor's public statement is not the Mark of the Beast? 

I have read a book by Doctor Ben Carson from John Hopkins hospital. Its title is Think Big. He operated on people with brain cancer and prayed for God's help. Please click:

11 times God intervened directly in Ben Carson's life ...

5 Nov 2015 — Below are 11 such occasions, as Carson describes in “Gifted Hands” ... Pray. My mother had taught me to pray. My teachers at the religious ..

There was death on large scale with the bubonic plague in the Middle Ages and the Spanish Flu in 1918? The pastor says this is end times. There have been people talking of end times for centuries. The last was in 1848 at the pen of Ellen White.

This silly pastor has the idea that all vaccination will cause harm. He does not know much about vaccine if he thinks that the Astra Zeneca will turn into a virus in years to come. There are Christian doctors who seek God's support.

Does he have his parishioners follow the protocols? Do they wear masks? Do they keep their social distance particularly in church?

We are advised in The National today that there are no major side effects. This is to counteract the fear and confusion in the community.

Time will tell as to whether or not people are able to survive with vaccination. I suffer from prostate infection.

If infected with COVID 19, will the virus sweep through my body like burning petrol as explained in the media yesterday? I will make sure that I am vaccinated. What do I have to lose?

It is the best of the two options. With no vaccination, I may have no hope now that I am 74 years old. Who will look after my daughters and grand children if I die?

Vaccination does not stop the virus but it stops death particularly for those with pre-existing infections.

FUNERAL NOTICES IN THE PAPUA NEW GUINEA MEDIA

I take morbid interest in opening the funeral pages in the Post Courier and The National. The numbers of people dying at early age seems to have increased alarmingly.

I am 74 years old and seem to have outlived most people appearing in the funeral notices. Most were born in the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s and 1980s. The funeral notice may advise that they died in hospital after a short illness. By the photo, many are obese.

There seems to be an increase in pastors, doctors, lawyers and senior officers in Government. We are reading medical reports on lifestyle illnesses that may be responsible - renal failure, diabetes 2, hypertension, cervical cancer, lung cancer, stroke, heart attack and HIV/AIDS.

There will be an increase in COV -19 as the months go by. People are announcing that they reject the vaccinations. Time will tell. There will be a rush if those vaccinated go on living.

There is great importance in all of us following a healthy diet of clean water, fruit and vegetables. 

We need to reduce our smoking of cigarettes and drinking booze and home brew. The key requirement is to strengthen the immune system. 

It is important for us all to exercise daily and to avoid eating food processed in the factory or the food bar in the street. 

Much of this food is cooked with fat and cooking oil laden with trans fat. It is so easy to eat garden fresh food bought in the market or grown in the garden.

SOMARE MENEJA BILONG BIKPELA KAMPANI

This is a story I was told at the Joint Services College of PNG in 1976. I have never forgotten as I told every class in Tok Pisin at the RAAF School of Languages. It is a  good story.

It is a story of the kindness of Grand Chief Sir Michael Somare.

Wanpela man i kam daun long hailans na i laik painim wok long Port Moresby. Em i raun long olgeta tret stua na askim ol tasol i no gat wok. Wanpela de, em i go long stua long Badili na askim papa bilong stua.

My daughters tell me this is old man Tok Pisin. I see this as polished and elegant Tok Pisin. The standard of Tok Pisin is dropping as it becomes mixed with English words.

TURKEY REJECTS ISTANBUL CONVENTION

The National 23 March 2001

The Istanbul Convention was signed 10 years ago with 45 countries but ratified by only 36. President Erdogen withdrew from the Convention because it had been "hyjacked" by people trying to "normalize homosexuality". 

The GBV message is "against family" so we are told. Does that mean it is against "honour killing" of family women and girls?

It is more complex than that I am sure as many of the signatory countries would probably be Moslem  with strict protocols for the rights of women in a family. 

In many Moslem countries under Shariah law women are under the complete authority of the family men and can suffer "honour killing". 

Recently a 17 year old girl was killed by her father for having a relationship with a man. Her head was cut off and taken to the police station.

But the foreign paedophiles are probably also involved in working against GBV. Turkey has rejected the Convention for Moslem reasons and the western view of the rights of women.

After the paedophile invasion of Papua New Guinea in the last 20 years, it is possible that there has been a United Nations led world invasion of homosexuals seeking to infiltrate governments and push for gay and lesbian rights.

The Istanbul Convention would have been a likely target. The GBV message would have been turned by the foreign lesbians into lesbian freedom for Moslem women and girls. They are bringing danger to Moslem women.

There is violence in same sex relationships in the world about the same as heterosexual relationships. Please click:

Is violence more common in same-sex relationships? - BBC ...

www.bbc.com › news › magazine-29994648

18 Nov 2014 — A study in the US suggests that same-sex relationships suffer higher levels of domestic violence than heterosexual ones. Why is this and how ...

Women and girls would be very much under thumb in Turkey and many of the 36 signatory nations. But the foreign lesbian paedophiles would have had a hidden agenda of opposition to FAMILY and ISLAM faith.

PNG families have survived despite the high level of GBV. The family message has been given a massive boost by late Grand Chief Sir Michael Somare who saw FAMILY as being the keys to the love of God.

FAMILY and FAITH are the keys to Positive Living with HIV/AIDS and COVID 19 with family, love, exercise, fruit and vegetables, clean water and avoidance of cigarettes and booze.

PNG DEBTS WITH CHINA

A letter to the editor in The National advised that the debt level of Papua New Guinea is quite massive - far more than the debt to China.

As a long term expatriate and friend of Papua New Guinea, I worry about the debts that the Government is racking up with China. Let us hope that the debts do not get out of hand and promote the Chinese seizure of collateral.

This country has had Chinese companies build a massive network of roads in Port Moresby. A power station is being built in the highlands. The Government may be counting on export income to enable the loans to be serviced.

What if the Chinese place an embargo on PNG exports and block the payment of debts? Then they seize PNG collateral in harbours, ports, power stations, airports and roads. 

The arrangement for fishery in Daru is a worry. The dragon will never leave and spend down time in the Gulf of Carpentaria. Is prawning still a key industry in the gulf?

PNG is wise not to put all their loan eggs into the one basket. There has been a recent loan from Japan, loans from the Asian Development Bank and Australia. Wise moves.

The fact of life is that Chinese business is very hard nosed and money hungry whether from Chinese banks or trade stores in Papua New Guinea.

A PANDEMIC OF ABUSE OF YOUNG WOMEN AND GIRLS

The editorial of The National describe the relationship of family child molesters to the children in the family as being toxic. Parents have to protect their children from toxic family men.

It is very distressful to read the ongoing reports in the PNG newspapers of young girls and women being sexually abused by fathers, grandfathers, step fathers, uncles, brothers, neighbours and strangers.

The pattern is basically the same. A young girl is playing in the yard, studying in the house or sleeping in her bed at 2am when the family molester arrives with violence and rapes the young girl once or twice. 

He may have an excuse of taking her to buy lollies or just putting his hand over her mouth and forcing her into a bedroom. He invariably threatens to kill her if she tells family what has happened.

There have been instances of young girls threatened with being stabbed by her grand-father or step-father. What kind of stupid dog-brain is he?

The mother finds out and takes the girl to the medical clinic when she is diagnosed as having been raped. The mother then reports the matter to the police and the accused is arrested. Mothers have been known to report their own father to the police.

The man never thinks of consequences of destroying the trust of family in his role as caretaker. There has been a spate of 74 year old men and 18 year old boys.

What happens when old men go to prison for 15 years and released at 89 years of age? Who will be there to take care of them?  Did the victim now a young woman married ever come to visit? Some will men die in prison before release.

I could not bear the thought of spending my final days looking through cell bars and living with a prison of violent men.

Some offenders have been known to be punished by being forced to eat their own faeces. They have been stripped of the right to live for 5 minutes of dubious pleasure many years before in raping a girl they should have protected.

Perhaps the cause of the pandemic is the existence of cell phone pornography. I know a person who says that every boy in her grade 8 class has a daily survey of cell phone pornography.

Old men lift their spirits with a monthly trip to the chemist for a packet of viagra. Now they only need some young girl to try out their temporary erection. No viagra in prison.

TRAINING WOMEN ALONGSIDE SPOUSES

The National 25 February 2021 P.14

The Christian Leaders' Training  College in Jiwaka is now training women alongside their husbands to be leaders according to Principal Maxon Mani,

Mani said the college offered theological programmes for male students in the past but had recently started taking in female students.

When the husband comes home for study, they study the certificate programme If the husband does the three year diploma, the wife can train alongside the husband.

Training both spouses would ensure balance and see more people qualified to do the church's work though not necessarily preparing people for the pulpits.

Training offered church members a grounding in Christian principles and ethics enabling them to incorporate other careers such as teaching, law and administration.

Students were from different churches in the country.

AUSTRALIAN DEFENCE HAS ALWAYS BEEN FRIENDS

Papua New Guinea lies inside the forward defence line of Australia. The two countries share a common defence. Australia fought the Japanese in World War 2. The line of defence may change in future years with aggressive moves of China into the Pacific.

Australia has always been a friend of this country. The early days were marked by violence and abuse of villagers who in turn attacked the Australian settlers. There was an increased law and order with the Australians administration setting up a police force and kiaps.

Australia had just emerged from World War 1 and the Great Depression and about to enter World War 2 and was not in great shape to give foreign aid. New Guinea had been given to Australia as a trusteeship territory after the German defeat.

After World War 2, Australia brought the Australian Defence Force to serve in PNG that became part of the army commands of Australia. There were two battalions 1RPIR and 2RPIR. There was a plan for a third battalion in the 1960s. 

Construction material was loaded on to ships but halted by the Vietnam War. The plan was changed with Lavarack Barracks being built in Townsville.

Australian Defence advisors arrived in the early 1960s to raise the level of training of the 2 battalions and in the early 1970s, the Joint Services College of PNG in Lae.

There was a positive attitude promoted. Soldiers were required to complete psychological testing and to attend a tok pisin course.

The army was forced to set up the Army School of Languages at Kapooka as the RAAF refused to accept the mandate to teach tok pisin. It was not a language they said. The army conducted courses from 1973 to 1979 with instructors returned from PNG.

Then the situation changed as the tok pisin course became very popular with the Australian Defence Force, Foreign Affairs and AusAID. There was the occasional RAAF officer who attended. Shame.

In 1979, the Army School closed and the mandate moved to the RAAF School of Languages. I was the officer who came to Pt Cook with the Tok Pisin training and stayed until 1992. I humbly submit that the standard of training lifted markedly.

The Australian contingent In PNG lifted the standard of training for officer cadets and apprentices who were eventually sent to Australian technical defence schools. 

Officer cadets were trained in Duntroon military college. Our department conducted training courses for Australian instructors to improve their training skill with PNG personnel. 

The level of ability of PNG personnel has lifted in recent years. Many trainees had problems with high level technical English.

My only sadness in relation to the Papua New Guinea Defence Force is the shame that retired military personnel often never receive their pension on retirement and many die before the pension comes. 

They drop from service in support of their country to abject poverty. Even retired politicians never receive the pension. Many Corrective Service officer died penniless.

Australia has always been a friend of PNG. The fuzzy wuzzy angels were left with no support after the war. But then the Australians may well not have had a comprehensive record names of fuzzy wuzzy angels who came from all over the country.

GOD WORKS IN WONDROUS WAYS

The nation grieves at the loss of Grand Chief Sir Michael Somare. People are starting to speak and for the first time we are learning of the real soul of the man who was God-loving, compassionate and a caring husband and family man.

He was a person in this country who spent his life by love of FAMILY and FAITH and support for all families in the nation.  

We of AIDS Holistics applied the message to living with HIV/AIDS despite a hate campaign from the Australian paedophiles who declared that FAMILY and FAITH were not relevant in modern PNG. 

I was founder of AIDS Holistics.  The UN rogue consultant Stewart Watson had my visa and work permit cancelled so that I would be deported. Cox had the FAMILY POSITIVE LIVING TRAINING CENTRE crushed at 3 Angels Care.

Let Watson tell the family of GC Sir Michael Somare that he was in error. There is no God. Families are just authoritarian groups set up to bully and control children.

We have to see the hand of God in the action of Prime Minister O'Neill who had FAMILY made part of Government policy. 

Let us hope that one day the father of this nation is formally honoured by the church. Enough people have been talking of Sir Michael as a humble servant of God. Who has ever been spoken of in this way across the nation?

DID AUSTRALIA EXPLOIT PAPUA NEW GUINEA?

In the speeches made in this country after the passing of GC Sir Michael Somare, we read that this country was exploited and abused by Australia. Is this true? It depends on where we are looking.

The people of this country were brought out of tribal warfare and killing of any villager who trespassed on neighbours land. 

Kiaps, police and missionaries brought a large measure of peace to the highlands that is declining in modern PNG. There are now reports of daily killing in villages.

The Foot report gave a somewhat exaggerated picture of the Australian commitment. There was law and order, education in schools with mainly expatriate teachers who brought a high level of English to education. The report wanted more university trained nationals.

The education system suffers today from a lack of expatriate teachers to raise the standard. 

A PNGDF was begun in the 1960s with a progressive increase in officer strength leading to the Commander as a national officer. 

Up to that time the last Australian commander was Brigadier Norrie. The officer training was increased probably partly with pressure from the United Nations. Technical training in Australia was soon to begin for PNGDF apprentices.

There was exploitation in the private sector with Australians abusing workers including men and women. Employees who spoke of independence were sacked by expatriate employers.

There was gross exploitation of workers on the plantations. They were slaves to Australian masters. Masta Mick Leahy killed many men from the villages and was furious about the upcoming independence. The video documentary should still be available.

There is still exploitation in modern PNG with Australian gay, lesbian and paedophile men and women seeking to turn this country into a homosexual love nest. 

The recent HIV/AIDS response was a disgraceful example of foreign bullying, lying and cheating. 

Even PNG doctors were discriminated against by Australian consultants who were mainly interested in having as much aid money banked in their accounts with as many unqualified friends brought up from Australia to share in the gravy train. Doctors were banned from public statements on HIV/AIDS.

GC Sir Michael Somare described how the independence activists of the 1960s were suppressed by the Australian administration. 

But there was still a thriving administrative college to lift skill among national officers set up in the late 60s. The military, corrective services and police training had started.

Australia has every reason to be proud of how it all turned out with the powerful support of Sir Michael Somare leading a team of patriots. We got it right in the end.

PNG is presently depending on Australia for COVID 19 vaccination and expertise of Australian doctors. The patrol boats are being armed. Massive aid money is provided annually.

COVID 19 AND PLAYING CARDS

My daughter has a school friend who has visited our home and seems to want to stay. Her favourite pastime is to go at night to play cards at G Block in North Waigani. There are usually about 30 card players sitting in a tight circle with no social distancing or masks.

I have talked cross to her and to the card players about the dangers of infection with COVID 19. If one player is infected there will be immediate infection of 30 other people. They can be infected from close proximity and the virus on cards and money.

But these stupid people do not listen. I am told that they do not believe in COVID 19 and think that it is a Government hoax. They say that people are confused with malaria.

What happens if this stupid woman comes home with the virus and stays at my house. Do we all live in self-isolation with an infected person? Reports in the paper advise that hospitals are full. 

This woman will infect my family. With my back-log of pre-existing infections, I will be the first in my family to die. Who will look after them then?

She will leave soon.

HUMOUR FROM GC SIR MICHAEL SOMARE

This is a story that I heard long ago and have never forgotten. The new house of parliament was built by the Australian Government and presented to the PNG people several years ago.

The day came and the official party assembled at the new house of parliament. The handover took place. Then the official party moved outside led by Sir Michael Somare.

Down the road was the Australian High Commission. In its time it was a top skyscraper with no other tall buildings around. But time brought other buildings that made the High Commission very short by comparison.

Sir Michael Somare stood with the official party. Then he spoke and pointed to the Australian High Commission and asked about the structure as if he had never seen it before.

He asked if this was the air conditioner for the new parliament house. Haha This was a good joke between old friends. I always think of air conditioners whenever I go past the old building.

The Australian High Commission has since moved out of the air conditioner to a much more opulent building down the road.

FOOT REPORT AND INDEPENDENCE FOR PAPUA NEW GUINEA

The Foot Report & the creation of the state of PNG 

asopa.typepad.com › asopa_people › 2016/09 › the-fo...

14 Sep 2016 — The findings from this visit, known as the Foot Report, were critical of Australia's role in the slow pace of political change and development in ..

The period after World War two was a time when colonial nations sought independence. The industrial revolution sent nations out into the world to seek colonies for raw materials and markets. 

The premier colonizer was Britain with the British Empire. China was colonized by several nations pushing for raw materials and markets. 

Germany took colonies in Africa and New Guinea but lost New Guinea that passed to Australia after World War 1.  Papua was ceded to Australia by Britain. The Dutch took Indonesia and passed the nation over after the war.

France took colonies in Indo-china but was removed in the 1950s by the Viet Minh in Vietnam. The final blow came with the invasion of Asia by Japan seeking its own empire in the Greater Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere. There was a great need for oil, iron and coal.

Japan was a late comer forced into aggressive occupation by gun boat diplomacy in the 1850s but destroyed by the USA after the attack on Pearl Harbour.

After the war, the colonies did not want their overlords back but sought independence led by India. Papua and New Guinea were late to the independence table. 

Australia regarded Papua and New Guinea as a source of gold and plantation produce. Little was done in the post-world war 1 period. 

But there was a parliamentary system, an education system with many expatriate teachers and  law and order organized by police and kiaps. The PNGDF was placed under command of newly promoted senior officers.

But then the Foot Report brought the UN pressure on Australia to grant independence. This was severely resisted until the Labor Government took over. Gough Whitlam supported independence which was granted in 1975.

The reins of government were taken by Michael Somare who became GC Sir Michael Somare and one of the most famous leaders on the planet.

COLONIZATION OF AUSTRALIA AND DEATH OF ABORIGINES

There is a report in the Post Courier today that the state of Victoria is to investigate the colonization of Aboriginal people. The Australian people may not be aware of the murders of many Aboriginal people by white settlers. 

In Victoria the worst massacre occurred at Churnside manor near Werribee. The owner had befriended the local tribe. On one occasion the tribe arrived to be given bags of flour but they did not know the flour was laced with poison. They never returned.

A serious killing of Aboriginal men occurred in the Northern Territory in 1926 when whites were killed. The local tribe was arrested by the police, taken into the bush and shot with their bodies burned on a log fire.

The killing moved also to Papua New Guinea. There was the infamous Kaisenik massacre when miners arriving at Salamaua were ambushed in 1926 and killed on the Black Cat Track. Perhaps the attack of trekkers some 4-5 years ago was delayed revenge.

Angry miners stormed up from Salamaua and down from Edie Creek gold fields. They never found the culprits but surrounded a village near Edie Creek in the early morning and shot every villager who emerged from their bush huts. This was a punitive raid.

There was a video that I used to watch at the RAAF School of Languages that showed an old village man telling of all the killings of village men by trigger happy Masta Mick Leahy as he trekked the highlands. 

Masta Mick was furious that independence was on its way having fear that the plantations of the expatriates would be seized.  He declared that the country should not be independent before 2050.

He believed that the nation under the rogue teacher and radio announcer Michael Somare would sink into chaos. Masta Mick died an unhappy man with severe racist paranoia. His brother Danny was a kind and gentle man who supported the nation.

There was a film documentary prepared by James Sinclair that was used to show that the people of the highlands were primitive and not ready for independence regardless of the Foot Report and the United Nations.

UN WOMEN ON INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY

In the media yesterday there was a report on every page on women in employment. There was focus on women succeeding in business with happy marriage and family. We read that Brian Bell Group employed 600 + women.

Yet there was not a single word printed by UN Women. Were they disgusted by successful women in business and the bureaucracy? In recent weeks, they wrote that men believe that women are less intelligent. Do they want unhappy women discriminated against by men? 

Do they prefer to focus on lesbian women? That is not the way PNG will go. There are many women studying on special scholarships and on their way to well placed jobs. There are still many women unemployed but the nation has to start somewhere.

GOD IS WITH US

I am 74 years old and my life will soon end. My parents, uncles and aunts have all passed on. My generation is next.

I still struggle with the existence of God and His plan for the human race. The world is suffering at the present time and will suffer more over the next century. There is climate change, global warming, floods, wild fires, overpopulation, the COVID 19 pandemic and ongoing wars.

There are those who believe in evolution and deny the hand of God. Living creatures and plants magically grow wings and fins over millions of years. There is wondrous magic in the reality that all living creatures have DNA on the same basic pattern.

There is DNA in human beings, lizards and cockroaches. All have basic needs that involve nutrition, reproduction, respiration and  locomotion. All need water, oxygen and the removal of carbon dioxide. Most gain sustenance from plants.

Are there aliens in the myriads of galaxies? Do all exist by the hand of God? There are TV reports of Unidentified Flying Objects with occasional reported sightings of living alien beings.

There is belief recorded in ancient hieroglyphics of alien craft and aliens who came to earth to guide and teach the ancient people. There is much that we do not know.

I struggle with the existence of an all-seeing God who hears every prayer, confession, adulterous thought, blasphemous utterance and plea for forgiveness.

There would be billions of bones in graves over millions of years. We are told that the dead will arise. Does God have an amazing all-seeing eye that knows the hearts and minds of every person of every age?

He hears the cries of the oppressed, of those drowned and lost in the sea, killed in wars and died of pandemic plague. There is the belief that the soul never dies.

Some believe that we rise to be with God as soon as we die. Others read the Bible to learn that the dead know nothing. Others believe that we rest in our graves until God comes again through Jesus Christ.

Others believe that they will never awake and stop ticking forever like a clock no longer wound up.

I ask God for forgiveness on my broken marriage in Australia. My work with HIV/AIDS is my way of giving peace to my soul.

There must be a God who gives us love, caring and concern for others. Greater love hath no man or woman but they lay down their lives for others.

GAY, LESBIAN, PAEDOPHILE ACTIVISTS VS SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST POLITICIANS

Let us hope that in the 2022 election the gay, lesbian and paedophile activists are outnumbered by Seventh Day Adventist  and other Christian politicians. Gay and lesbian rights will be a key agenda item.

This country must never fall to foreign agendas on sexuality. The people who suffer most will be the sexually abused children from broken families who are on the street and taken home by paedophiles for sex.

All such bills have to be given the prior assent of the Marriage Committee of the Department for Community Development. That did not happen in the last election. Lesbian UN activists bullied their way. No national sovereignty there.

BAIS STANDS FOR BY-ELECTION

 The National 4 March 2021

Anna Bais is to stand for election in North West Port Moresby in the seat vacated by Sir Mekere Morauta.

She was Secretary to the Department of Community Development. It is hope that if elected she will become the Minister to keep the Department on an even keel.

She says she will not support prostitution which had been pushed in the previous election by foreign lesbians from the United Nations. It was a legislation in support of foreign women and men not PNG people.

The bill was introduced by Dame Carol Kidu under extreme pressure. Perhaps Dame Carol knew that the bill would not pass the many Seventh Day Adventist politicians. She was one step ahead of killer Cox.

The second part of the bill was legalization of gay and lesbian sex. No mention was made of paedophile sex which is a more common offence.

The long experience of Anna Bais in bureaucratic leadership makes her a perfect member of parliament with a soft heart and hard head.

Legalization of sex workers is the thin edge of the wedge, leading on to lowering the age of consent for children and adoption of orphans by gay and lesbian foreigners. These are foreign agendas not part of PNG culture.

SIR MICHAEL FAMILY AND FAITH

Poet James Shirley: Only the actions of the just smell sweet and blossom in the dust.

Positive Living with FAMILY and FAITH was not devised by AIDS Holistics. Sir Michael had been living by FAMILY and FAITH all his life.

He has elevated the message as a devout Christian, faithful husband, loving father, grandfather and great grand father, leader and friend of nations.

He has given to the nation a powerful role model that stands against Gender Based Violence and Family Sexual Violence. We are only realizing it now with his passing.

Let there be no further dispute on this website on the importance of FAMILY and FAITH.

Sir Michael was quoted as saying that Lady Veronica gave him the strength and credibility in his family and politics. They were a team all their married lives.

But the nation has a long way to go to reach the perfection of the Somare role model in his family and nation. 

The community has to leave behind all the violence, criminality, stealing, killing, child abuse, sorcery killing and more.

FAMILY POSITIVE LIVING - AIDS HOLISTICS: TOK PISIN

Tok Pisin was spoken by PNG people and Australians, never by Americans or Chinese. It shows the special relationship between Australia and PNG going over 150 years. Australian defence personnel were trained in Tok Pisin.

Classical Tok Pisin is elegant and sweet. It is declining in the street at the present time and turning into jive talk.

UN WOMEN WORKSHOP FOR RESERVED SEAT WOMEN ONLY

The UN Women workshop was only for women who are given reserved seats. But the reserved seats did not eventuate. How did UN Women decide on who gets reserved seats? Cheeky.

It is the candidates who have to do the hard work to know of the international, national, electorate problems and able to explain to the maximum number of voters about repairs to roads, bridges, airstrips, aid posts, schools, hospitals. prisons, violence, abuse of children and any other problem the voters raise.

If the candidate does not know, she will promise to get back to the voter with the answer. And she will do it. She will show she will never be an absentee politician. That will get her into parliament if she develops a reputation for being trustworthy.
