August 13, 2006 journal, it was not the easy cake walk Israel thought it would be invading Lebanon. Not only have they been accused of using phosphorus in their shells but now a new weapon causing damage internally to people without external wounds. What could it be that is killing people on the battlefield and civilians without causing any scars? By 9:00 a.m. today 25 Israeli soldiers had been killed, yet they continue their bombing of Lebanon. 50 people were killed in Iraq today as usual and always American soldiers are included. Mike Wallace on 60 Minutes tonight interviewed the president of Iran and he had some valid points saying we had occupied Iraq long after taking out Saddam. It is true although most unfortunately. The secret behind our occupation of Iraq is building that military base. Israel has demanded we destroy their enemies and we are obeying them because they hold a noose around our neck through the Federal Reserve independent international banking conspiracy and the United Nations one world government. A new world order is surfacing everyday as the U.S. dollar weakens and our puppet government continues to drive us into the ground. Democracy is a myth and this war on te*r*ror is an invention of this administration at the command of Israel for selfish reasons. Iran repeatedly tried to communicate with Washington but it has been ignored. This renegade government is in a fighting mode and answers its questions by force and by rockets and weapons of mass destruction as we see Israel using on the Democratic state of Lebanon with their mixed citizenship Christian and Moslem. I believe nothing coming out of Washington D.C. They are established on a lie and perpetuated by more lies. There is no truth in this government. This administration needed and got a crisis of major proportion which did please Israel and served Israel's pur-pose more than the United States by far. I have ‘The Family’ painted on day 6 with two elephants, two horses and two cows, with monkeys in the tree. For some reason I suddenly lack the courage to continue. At least 50 things have blocked my way but I will overcome all the obstacles Satan has put in my way. This is the largest art project I have ever ventured into and like other major projects I have undertaken in my life, there are times when it seems impossible to finish. I still must paint sheep and lambs, lions, dogs, tigers, giraffes and guerillas, rabbits and squirrels, billy goats and nanny goats, and turtles. I must paint foxes and possums and all of God's creation. The magic size of 12 x 16 feet for each day of the 7 days of creation was God sent, I could not have done it any smaller. I must rest and meditate until the inspiration occurs to continue to paint this marvelous scene where God created the animals and God created Adam. I must not forget cats and bears, elk and deer. Neither must I even forget the pigs. Even ants in the ground serve an important propose put there by God to renew the soil. I drove out to Barnes and Noble mega-book store just to see if they had the new 'art world of William Thomas Thompson' book and they did have it in their system to order so I ordered one just to see how long it would take to come and just exactly what they would charge for it including freight. I only had to give my name and phone number to order it. The soft covers are 29.95 and hard covers are 39.95. The book has moral messages and health opinions in both art and text which is a ministry for me. I do not think of myself as either an artist or an author but I will let the world judge that for themselves. The 1,000 news releases went out this week mostly to the media outlets. May God bless this effort. From the beginning of this mega painting of the 7 days of creation covering about 1800 square feet, I have felt the hand of God on me to do it in a way to please God. I am continually reminded that he is in charge He is the artist, I must obey His will to paint this origination of life with all love and care.
