Daily journal February 7, 2001, My Journal is my prayer written out, it is my heart and soul.

I see the struggle people are having with every day affairs and things that should be simple but made so hard by the authorities such as renewing a license plate for example with the long line to pay the taxes and then go to the highway department which is then impossible in less than one half day to stand in a long diseased line with everybody coughing down your neck and throat. A 1992 model car requires three hundred dollars tax in advance of the tag and even though it has 150,000 miles on it, they have raised the discount rate of mileage to 185,000 before they will reduce the tax by about 1/3, the big loophole still remains open in this state where legislature is committed to the insurance companies and car dealers got a concession so that poor and rich both pay a maximum of $300.00 sales tax per car to buy regardless of how expensive the car even up to $100,000.

I am painting the Ishtar Gate and the Tower of Babel on the entrance to New York City as mystery the great Babylon with its world wide circulation of money, power and trade.

I will paint the handwriting on the wall that Belshazzar saw in the book of Daniel written in Chapter five verse 22"And thou his son, O Belshazzar, hast not humbled thine heart, though thou knewest all this; 23-But has lifted up thyself against the Lord of Heaven; and they have brought the vessels of his house before thee, and thou, and thy lord's, thy wives, and by concubines, have drunk wine in them; and thou hast praised the gods of silver, and gold, of brass, iron, wood, and stone, which see not, nor hear, nor know: and the God in whose name thy breath is, and whose are all thy ways, Hast thou not glorified: 24-Then was the part of the hand sent from him; and this writing was written. 25-And this is the writing that was written, Me-Ne, Me-Ne, Te-kel, Pher-sin. 26-This is the interpretation of the thing; Me-Ne; God has numbered thy kingdom, and Finished it. 27-Te-kel; thou art weighed in the balances, and found wanting. 28-Pe-res; thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians. 30-In that night was Belshazzar the king slain". Open

our eyes Lord and may we see the handwriting on the wall for New York and the nation and even all the world and its entirety as the judgments of God draw closer. We look for your coming dear Lord and pray it would be soon. Make us ready in all Holiness Lord. Patty Hearst being shown on television repeatedly is quoted as stating that the authorities knew of her planned abduction 3 months before it happened but did nothing to stop it. Are we safe in our environment, can we trust our government to protect us from danger?

Its reported that a true conspiracy of the major power companies the price of natural gas was planned for sometime and now we have no choice but to pay the price or shut off the gas. A flurry of price gouging by major companies and the government in higher taxes is putting the average person out on the street in this cold and unfriendly world. The only answer is nationalization and that may not be answered at all. The powers that be favor oil exploitation more than exploration. Greed has gone to seed in the oil and tax business making most lives miserable for the common person that works for a living with their wages taxed and their employers taxed to death as it were for all of private enterprise.

My computer went crazy when shutting off and then coming back with a screen the size of four feet square where I could not reach the positions to correct. Thanks to Marc and Computer Renaissance, I am back up and running again with my Via Voice Speak Print.

The prosecution of children as adults is political and shameful for this country. We now have our jails full of children. Returning from the country 2 drivers came close to wreaks.
