April 8, 2009 journal, people are asking where is the 2.2 trillion dollars given to banks by the last administration while none of it was used to save people's houses from foreclosure. I sure hope your prediction is right that we will bounce back but there is no sign of it yet. If the figures I received are correct, Wall Street has lost 700 trillion dollars in trading derivatives more then all of the wealth in the world. My Australian friend has sent me an article on gold I want to forward to you. As we know money is just paper now and we have lost our manufacturing base which keeps the exchange rates going so there is no principle for our continuance. Below are some unedited information I have accumulated. Our credit has run out in the world and we have no substance by which to recover. We may be selling our children like China before long. There are 2 schools of thought. The Apocalypse is here as prophesied or to continue to have faith in the failed system to end. What, a president of the United States visits Europe and does not have visitation with the Pope? I would have thought the entire Jesuit army would be confronting him by the time he landed back home. He visited the Moslem Mosque instead. Things have changed. Not in my lifetime as far as I know has a U.S. president failed to first visit the "Holy See". Three American presidents bowed their knees before the casket of the last dead Pontiff. All that big G 20 banking nations, NATO and others failed to produce one soldier to fight in Afghanistan except the suckers we have sent over there to suffer, bleed & die foolishly. The inevitable crash of the dollar will bring our troops home instantly from all the world. The Justice Department statement today saying that they will not investigate or prosecute the last administration for wiretap or torture crimes is a betrayal of trust of the American people hoping to restore fairness in government and justice for all. With Rush Limbaugh and Fox's Sean Hannity calling for revolution, I predict they may get their wishes soon. April 9, 2009 journal, why was Jerusalem not spared in 70ad when the Romans destroyed the Temple. If the occupants of Palestine at that time were official and if they were God's favorite people, then why were they and the territory destroyed completely? Some people say I was accurate in my paintings on prophecy but I say, I do not remember. We may not always understand the total picture or why we say what we say at that particular time. April 7, 2009 journal, the four green zones for some of the longest living people on earth. Oprah Winfrey Show 4 green zones "The longest living Americans live-in Noma Linda California 60 miles east of Los Angeles. Costa Rica, Okinawa and Italy's Sardinia Island. A big part of life in Noma Linda revolves around the 9000 residents of the Seventh-Day Adventist Church. The Christian religion revolves around faith and frowns on smoking, drinking, eating meats or processed foods. Heart surgeon Ellsworth Wareham is still in the operating room at 94 years old and he says he gets his love and caring from a caring God that takes care of the universe so why worry. Dr. Wareham follows a vegetarian diet not eating any meat, milk or eggs, he works in his garden 10 hours per week on the average and has peace of mind." This information compiled by Dr. Oz and shown on National Geographic. it is not the oldest life on earth which is in the high hills of Russia and South America where people commonly live to be 150. I want to visit them. I long to continue painting what is burning within me but i am waylaid by so many crisis happening to write about all seemingly taking us closer to the cliff. forgive me if I did not respond adequately to your commenting about your lack of biblical study. God looks at the heart and not your Biblical study although the Word of God is for our nourishment spiritually as you know. Salvation is by Grace obtained by faith and not by seminary degrees. Was it Stephen that said to the man in the carriage "do you understand what you read?" Understanding the Bible and prophecy comes from divine inspiration. if we love God and obey his commandments, generally the 10 Commandments of Exodus 20, the rest is according to our faith. 262 people killed in the Italian earthquake in A'Quila. A report that China has infiltrated our electric power grid with destructive software for a possible future attack. Voltaire is quoted as saying "It is dangerous to be right when the government is wrong". I have now read 100 pages of Larkin Rose's book on Kicking the Dragon and it is the most captivating experience. I cannot put the book down even to eat with his masterful command of a near perfect abundant vocabulary which should be assigned reading for every American beside the government's secret devoid of tax code 861 dealing with our exemption from federal taxes. He leaves no stone unturned in this factual document. The government steals more than a trillion dollars per year from citizens all 100 million that file tax returns. They doubletalk and cover up the actual tax code that exempts most Americans from paying any federal income taxes while they assume that they owe taxes. Now if they ever admit to it they would be obligated to return all taxes collected for the last 100 years. Rose went to federal prison for insisting the government recognize their code. I am making a wish list of all the things I hope will cease to exist due to the rotten economy. Number one is that bigmouth hot air Rush Limbaugh and his radio broadcast. Rush had a caller to tell him that he was a brainwashed Nazi. I agree with that statement. The caller was a military veteran and he held his own against the declining big mouth and arrogant voice of the has been Republican Party now polling down to about 25% popular. I think Kicking the Dragon Book should be in every personal library just in case you need it. It is very well-documented and is the absolute truth from every considerable direction. a few people have won their case but for the most part it is rock-solid impossible and the evidence you present it is twisted and turned to preserve their taxing status of all income. It is sad when people like John Ashcroft passes up an opportunity to be truthful about it. Now America is dependent on those illegally collected taxes from the average individual. This crooked Army of infernal Revenue people is challenging to ones patriotism at least. This administration cites the Patriot Act as why they do not go after the criminal torture of the past administration and wiretapping abuses but they may need to change that the Patriot Act is my second wish list item hoping will be disposed of in future bad economy. Quoting from the marvelous book Kicking the Dragon Rose quoted a revenue agent as saying "Congress has the right to tax every person in China if they want to but it would not be collectible". That is the kind of bigotry terrorizing the free citizens of America. I reluctantly forward an email poem to you because I think you need to know the content. It comes from Jerusalem directly and I do not fully understand it but this is from a highly respected Orthodox Rabbi, he has the historic theory of British Israel absolutely correct identifying the 10 lost tribes of Israel as occupying and populating Great Britain / Europe. I have his books and he is a reliable source although he still goes to bat for modern Israel. He is the only Jewish person to admit the British people are from the true House of Israel. I believe Israel is about to attack Iran and all hell will surely break out when they do. Of course America will supply them wmds if they have any money left. MSNBC countdown last night showed a caller to the Rush Limbaugh saying he was a brainwashed Nazi and Limbaugh responded by saying that idiots like you are the reason A-ba-ma got elected. I have added one more person to my list of repulsive talking heads and he is Glenn Beck. I suggest if they still want to torture prisoners then require them to listen to these talking heads. The pro war hawks are still circling the camps and promoting their unholy wars. Bill O'Reilly of Fox chasing news is # 2 on my repulsive list of crazy dirty talking heads. So-called middle-class people have repudiated these weirdos but they do not yet get it. Income earned within the U.S. is not subject to federal income tax & when you read the book Kicking the Dragon you will understand it but not advisable to try and practice it. Rule 861 clearly states that because it is unconstitutional citizens income is not taxable. The mobster's scare a 100 million people into paying it annually without questioning it. Absalom accidentally hanged himself with his long hair on a tree limb. painting 24x36''. acrylic on canvas 2009 by William Thomas Thompson I believe the heavens (sky) tell us what shall come on the earth with visual daily manifestations in brilliant color. A Sunset or Sunrise, (not pictured) 48 by 48 in. April 9, 2009 journal, BankAmerica decrees a dramatic rate increase on credit cards and cancels many cards cutting the credit limit back on others. That's the way to go man after receiving $25 billion in tar funds from the good hard working people of this dying nation. Wells Fargo declared themselves a $3 billion profit in the first quarter causing the stock market to rally and rise 249 points. Big deal, we give them $25 billion and they can make 3,000,000,000 (billion) in one 3 month period of time. If a bank raised market interest rates from 10 to 29% without good cause I would definitely stop the payments until they get their heart right. After three months they would be willing to talk a sweet settlement. 20% of the American people have allowed their auto insurance to expire and I am not at all surprised. I thought we were only 10 percent unemployed and another 10 percent underemployed with 6 million people out of work and now drawing their unemployment. Forget the damnable credit bureaus and do what you have to do in your own situation is my advice. I have blocked my own credit report from being sold to all of the swindlers. Some people think the American government cannot go broke but they can, in fact they are already broke and have been for 150 years. Otherwise Abraham Lincoln would not have started the civil war. Sit still and let it happen. The banking system will not return. J.P. Morgan Chase is now calling me every 10 minutes from India as harassment trying to collect a Washington Mutual which is not enough to pay the help if it were American and I know this will not last forever. I have settled the bill by sending in a 'paid in full check'. They cash anything you send them without question. They have not yet proven to me that they have the legal right to collect these credit cards and that goes for the Indians also. Vermont legalizes same-sex marriage overriding the governor's veto the Sodomites bill. Tent cities are outlawed in Sacramento California with the residents being told to go to the shelters which are full already and they must leave all their pets and bicycles behind. Pat Roberson said today the electric grid could explode crippling the nation and perhaps destroying every computer. I have heard of this possible before. "Brian T. Kennedy, president of the Claremont Institute, writes in today's Wall Street Journal on the widespread effects a single nuclear weapon could have on the United States, if Russia, China, or Iran were to use it as electromagnetic pulse weapon. An excerpt from the piece: Think about this scenario: An ordinary-looking freighter ship heading toward New York or Los Angeles launches a missile from its hull or from a canister lowered into the sea. It hits a densely populated area. A million people are incinerated. The ship is then sunk. No one claims responsibility. There is no firm evidence as to who sponsored the attack, and thus no one against whom to launch a counterstrike. But as terrible as that scenario sounds, there is one that is worse. Let us say the freighter ship launches a nuclear-armed Shahab-3 missile off the coast of the U.S. and the missile explodes 300 miles over Chicago. The nuclear detonation in space creates an electromagnetic pulse (EMP). Gamma rays from the explosion, through the Compton Effect, generate three classes of disruptive electromagnetic pulses, which permanently destroy consumer electronics, the electronics in some automobiles and, most importantly, the hundreds of large transformers that distribute power throughout the U.S. All of our lights, refrigerators, water-pumping stations, TVs and radios stop running. We have no communication and no ability to provide food and water to 300 million Americans. This is what is referred to as an EMP attack, and such an attack would effectively throw America back technologically into the early 19th century. It would require the Iranians to be able to produce a warhead as sophisticated as we expect the Russians or the Chinese to possess. But that is certainly attainable. Common sense would suggest that, absent food and water, the number of people who could die of deprivation and as a result of social breakdown might run well into the millions. Let us be clear. A successful EMP attack on the U.S. would have a dramatic effect on the country, to say the least. Even one that only affected part of the country would cripple the economy for years. Dropping nuclear weapons on or retaliating against whoever caused the attack would not help. And an EMP attack is not far-fetched. Twice in the last eight years, in the Caspian Sea, the Iranians have tested their ability to launch ballistic missiles in a way to set off an EMP. The congressionally mandated EMP Commission, with some of America's finest scientists, has released its findings and issued two separate reports, the most recent in April, describing the devastating effects of such an attack on the U.S. The only solution to this problem is a robust, multilayered missile-defense system. The most effective layer in this system is in space, using space-based interceptors that destroy an enemy warhead in its ascent phase when it is easily identifiable, slower, and has not yet deployed decoys. We know it can work from tests conducted in the early 1990s. We have the technology. What we lack is the political will to make it a reality". The government has not yet addressed their own employment situation or laid off workers to save money as industry has had to do. The millions of federal employed just keep on going and they are even hiring more in order to help with the bad economy. All of this will come to a sudden halt when the dollar hits bottom and is rejected by the entire world. Easter is a pagan religion yet it is adopted by the church, most churches have egg hunts. april 8 and 5 L'Aquila, Italy
