November 23, 2007 journal, black Friday is truly dark in this uncertain world economy. Today is said to make or break the retailer & ultimately the manufacturer now in China. We are busy at war while the country falls apart as America is becoming more homeless. The homeland is anything but secure as we are chasing our tails fighting in Moslem land. Macy's must make a profit today or else Manhattan Broadway will become ghost town. The United States started in New York City and later moved to Washington which was called Rome but they renamed it after George Washington & changed the Tigris river to be called the Potomac. Manhattan Island said to be purchased from the Indians for $73. Money was worth something then. Even in the Great Depression money was worth a lot. The difference in 1929 and now is that the dollar is only paper money and not backed by gold. We are seeing the death of the dollar. The momentum of the $ dollar is declining. People are rushing into New York to buy goods cheaper from Europe and they report as good but it will be short lives because it will cost so much more to replace those goods. America in 1929 was self sufficient in oil and in everyday commodities with the strong dollar but still the stock market went bust because the recent formed Federal Reserve planned it that way. During the Great Depression they could buy up all the real estate for near to nothing enriching themselves many times over. Today they are manipulating the market to keep it from crashing wherein they would lose in my estimation $200 trillion dollars. They already own it all now and the game is different. They now have so much money they cannot loan it all and they authorize more to be printed anytime they need it to invest to stabilize the market. Traders know this but choose to ignore it for their own enrichment. Foreign countries know this but choose to ignore it for their own enrichment. Greenspan stepped out because he could not control it and gave it over to Benacke the new Federal Reserve Chairman so he will take the blame for the pending stock market crash and demise of the dollar. It is like trying to make the Titanic float with a hole in its belly. There is a bond bridge between New York and London cemented together by the Brotherhood. England had controlled the world but then the United States all consuming nation has generated world economy and become Mystery Babylon United Nations rule and U.S. dollar rule. Rome, the fourth Empire with legs of iron and clay from the prophet Daniel is current today and it's crumbling daily in every corner of the earth as prophesied. When I began painting art I soon went to the New York art show at the Jacob Javits convention center where I had car trouble the minute I entered New York City. There was a mechanics garage on the main drag where I left my car to be fixed and they fixed me with a $1,350 bill. I rode my electric scooter up hill to Macy's where I plugged into their electric power with their permission upstairs in their beauty salon being the only electrical outlet in their store. I came out fully charged and rode my scooter all the way to the Soho art district with a stop near Washington Park to spend the night in a hotel. The next morning I rode my scooter through Soho then back up town to have lunch on the street where I was allowed to plug into a carpenter's extension cord. I made it then back to Macy's where I plugged in again to the same outlet but this time was discovered by the manager and run off. By then I had just enough power to return to the mobster's garage. They took me to a bank, maxed out every credit card plus a wire transfer raised $1,000. They then let me go because most of the bill was phony anyway and the parts not needed. According to news reports it seems the U.S. Aircraft Carrier Kitty Hawk was denied the right to dock in Hong Kong by the Chinese government but later was allowed to do so.
