May 29, 2003 journal, mr entertainment is one hundred NBC, painting the skies rolling up. Bob Hope said he was so old that they had discontinued his blood type. Born in England 100 years ago, he got funnier as he matured in show business as he entertained the troops. There is out rage today being reported about New York City police being made revenue collectors or generators giving tickets for minor offenses for as a pregnant lady for sitting on the steps of the subway. An 86 year-old man for feeding the pigeons; another man was ticketed for having a faded registration on his car. New York reportedly admits that they are 3 billion dollars short in their budget and that they have put extra pressure on police to write tickets to generate revenue. This further confirms the police state we now live in and the chaotic situation in general that we find ourselves in that is growing worse each day. Today showed a heavy weight business consultant that had made $300.000.00 per year, now selling khaki in a Gap. This is called downsizing or dumbing back or dumbing out to get a job. Master's degrees and even Ph.D's are not exempt from this reversal to provide. Our own state is raising traffic fines and cigarette tax to cover budget shortfalls and firing teachers to save money. We were lied to about the lottery and its potential to raise funds while it robs the poor and surely increases child abuse, putting families in crisis everyday. I ask again, what happened to the $40 billion given to New York for the 911 recovery? News today that BMW had contributed $1 million dollars to the Spartanburg's Museum Art Center to build a new $35 million facility in downtown Spartanburg. Perhaps this is a good way for BMW to spend their money since they pay no taxes to City, County, State or federal government's, they also have no property tax for 50 years. Someone suggested that they finagle their employees and hire "about half" of their workers on temporary basis to dodge the benefits and pay them a much lower wage and said to be about $10 per hour. A young preacher named McCoy is wanted in five counties for molesting little girls 11 years old. He traveled in a trailer and this is where he allegedly committed many crimes. Why do people hide behind the cloth to commit their perverted acts on the young people? Had he been a priest he would of had more cover under those large black robes they wear and so many of them molest little boys as reported on television here and in London. The Boston diocese is in bankruptcy trying to protect the churches property from 100 lawsuits. Remember "No child left behind" campaign promise? The tax-cut bill just signed leave the children of minimum-wage workers without the $400 per each rebate check others receive

while opposition congressman accuse the president of fibbing. What is fair in any taxation? This so-called tax cut relieves somebody of an estimated three and a half billion dollars tax and it is I believe mostly rewarding the rich and failing to really help the poor to survive. Another American soldier was killed today in Iraq as it’s the shooting gallery of Baghdad. Canada will relax their penalties for small amounts of marijuana according to the media. Alan Greenspan warns of deflation which could result in recession and even a depression. The bubble is bound to bust in time as history reveals it has for every major world empire. If you think God will spare us because we are "Christian" then you are mistaken because we are as Christians in a minority and confined to certain states especially the Bible Belt. The slide has begun and it will be an avalanche turning this nation upside-down with debt and they will print more money and create more debt until the whole world turns on us to reject us and stop trading our currency. We have become dependent on idol nations and we are subject to their mercy if they extend mercy to us, just look at us to see for yourself. Look to God for mercy and for all our needs to be supplied by faith in his bountiful hand.
