Daily journal December 14, 2001, Corporate cannibalism, merchant dishonesty, I must paint the story of why I paint visual art. Today I began a new painting of the Taliban. Now we have just passed the 90 days marker of the biggest attack upon America since the British in 1776 and again in 1812. The British were easy to spot because they wear red coats. Today our enemies are invisible and obscure in every little town in America. Since that most awful day of September 11, the American business structure has collapsed and a large percentage of independent businesses are barely holding on. The tax collectors however are suffering no recession and they have not yet gotten the message that it is over. I sure see a major tax revolt coming soon. Your house may be mortgage free but your county or state has sure mortgaged your property for 50 years in advance to enslave you to pay their tax. A man in the know said politicians are taking bribes to be quiet and to let it happen. Babylon has fallen and they do not even recognize it. Those legs of iron and clay, its judgment for those who care not for suffering humanity who enjoy the spoils of war and overburdening tax for no real good cause. Tonight it was reported that Wal-Mart overcharged on an average of every seventh item that goes through their checkout, most stores seem to do the same, it is not necessary, but is truly a game to cheat their customers. I visited a Target store here for the first-time and out of three items I collected to purchase, two were overcharged by the cash register up to 50%, I left them right on the checkout counter and exited the store without a purchase. I have more respect for bank robbers even behind a mask than I do those who overcharge by confusion when an item is priced on a counter and different on the checkout computer register. It is easy to control price and be fair but they will not price the merchandize on each item, it's hard to prove and who wants to wait for a price check or to return a purchase. Give us love dear Lord for one another.

Pork hog swine is said to be most like man of any animal, so close that they are farming pig heart valves now to replace in human beings. Because of the relative kinship, the heart parts are not rejected. Are we eating our relatives? Mad cow disease comes from feeding cows to cows. The Jewish religion forbids the eating of pork as unclean meat. If ever you have been present when one of these animals are killed and cut up with all the blood and manure, then you would be sick at the thought of eating any of that flesh. I like the places in the world where cows are not fenced and sheep run free like in Western Ireland and in many places in the United States. After hearing of more and more reaction to medicines, I am now convinced that our people are being treated with risky and dangerous synthetic pharmaceuticals. I have never eaten veal in my life because it comes from baby calves I think should live. Lamb comes from baby sheep. Corporate farming is so cruel, they never pet the animals. Had I stayed on the farm, I would have turned it into a petting zoo for sure. I now feel lead to spread the word, not just of the gospel, but of God's living food that will sustain us when everyone is dying all around us. With half the people fat and sick from this processed food mess, it is time we sound off against those who would exploit us for money. I believe in divine healing but not if we eat the king's meat and processed sugar. White flour makes good glue and as a child I always wondered how the intestines took it. Matthew 5-46 "For if you love them which love you, what reward have you?
