April 23, 2006 journal, we are becoming a second-rate nation according to the news cast of today.  A retiring CEO of Exxon has taken $500 million out with him in severance pay while the American people are suffering with record high fuel cost that is pounding daily. With $10 billion being spent on the war in Iraq every month there is little hope to save us. The president has done nothing to curb the rising cost of fuel and show mercy on working people.  It is time the people take control and bring the criminals to justice.  Army general speaks out against the war and Rumsfeld saying he was arrogant and has made a big mess. One senator said today on national CBS television that if the president had spent the week bringing in the major oil companies confronting them with the high gas prices rather than by spending the week defending Donald Rumsfeld, then the American people would be a lot better off.  We are already a second-rate nation falling behind in education and income. We have left God behind and now we are behind while the idolatry nations invade us. It was said today that we graduate only half as many engineers as other major countries and that half of those in our schools are foreigners. It was said that this administration either lies or fails to tell the American people at all about what is happening as we operate under secrets. We will see $5 per gallon gasoline and maybe as much as $10 per gallon gasoline. All of this is evidence of a weakening dollar as this corporate greedy administration grabs more for itself and its rich Houston petroleum shameless buddies. Blood for oil is now a common expression especially in Europe. Favoritism has become one of the big subjects of how this administration has favored major corporations such as Halliburton and a 1000 others of course in squandering the people's money over foolish and needless wars.  They manufacture reasons to go to war so they can pass out the green gravy to their electors.

This nation as on a roller-coaster ride to the bottomless pit.  The rich are so busy getting richer while the poor are busy getting poorer, no one notices the dollar is about to belly up. The third biggest concern of the American people is reported to be skyrocketing gas prices after emigration and the war at 29%.   60 minutes had on a former CIA official to say that war was inevitable and faulty intelligence was a part of the plan.   He said they cherry picked the data to make it fit a cause for war.  The hard-working & loyal faithful patriotic American people have been defrauded by this administration with an agenda to protect Israel while getting filthy rich in the oil business, I say to nationalize oil companies.

The price of gasoline has increased over 20˘ per gallon in the last two weeks, it is a crisis. CBS "When no weapons of mass destruction surfaced in Iraq, President B**h insisted that all those WMD claims before the war was a result of faulty intelligence.  But a former top CIA officer, Tyler Drumheller, a 26 year veteran of the agency has decided to do some thing CIA officials at his level almost never do: speak out.   He tells correspondent Ed Bradley the real failure was not in the intelligence community but in the Whit* Hous*. He says he saw how the B**h administration time again, welcomed the intelligence that fit the president's determination to go to war and turned a blind eye to intelligence that did not.  It just sticks in my craw every time I hear them say it’s an intelligence failure.  (repeat) It's an intelligence failure. “This was a policy failure”. Drumheller tells Bradley. Drumheller was the CIA's top man in Europe, the head of covert operations there, until he retired a year ago.  He says he saw firsthand how the Whit* H*use promoted intelligence it liked and ignored intelligence it did not like.  “The idea of going after Iraq was U.S. policy.  It was going to happen one way or another," says Drumheller. Report continued tomorrow. 666 is coming up, June 6, 2006 is a 666.  Who is preaching the gospel of Christ the Lord?
