May 19, 2008 journal, the twisted web we weave and the people we indoctrinate falsely on freedom. This nation has been hijacked by a bunch of renegades diving to destruction. The White House chief counsel has written a hot letter to NBC saying they misquoted the president in his garden interview with Richard Ingle in Saudi Arabia about why Iraq is not as safe now as it was before. This is media suppression big-time like communism or you would expect from the Nazis during Hitler's day. The only problem is that they did not misquote the president but quoted him verbatim showing exactly what he said and he did not answer Richards' first question, he beat around the bush as always confirming that we have an idiot for president. The White House pressure on the media is really saying to change the truth to a lie in support of this evil and insane president to support a lost war. Southern Florida burns with 90 wild fires in a dry climate making it very hard to breathe. May 7, 2008 journal, those who know his name shall the son of man rise with healing in his wings. Nehemiah 4-1 What is it like to know the true name of Christ the Lord. I had a hernia for years which became severe and was irritating my leg so I prayed and praised Yesu Yahweh but did not specifically pray for healing of the hernia yet the hernia when away. it has been holding in place now for a month. Christ the Lord Yesu knows our needs and it is not even necessary to mention them. faugh faugh but at Roswell ers his/her her Haskalah allow allow allow Zamboanga dear ben thanks Rand- I am pleased you are taking my artwork so seriously because this is my life. Greg bottoms is one of the stumbling blocks that seemingly Satan put in the way. most of all he is a liar and fiction writer. Most of what he says is not even true.. it is his imagination and illusions. He has grossly abused the term nonfiction creative writing which he seemed to help invent. He set out to prove every outsider artist to be insane like his brother if he has a brother he says is imprisoned. He calls everybody fat and exaggerates every situation. You were here and saw the same thing he did but you will write much differently. He tried to paint me with drawn to the tower with a no trespass sign or keep out as though I lock myself away. actually the sign was put there by our daughter for safety reasons before we restoried a stair rail on the fourth floor. we ask Chicago Press To recall the book but they refused. according to all reports it has been a total failure in sales in the U.S. and England where they promoted it. they advertised it in the book magazine of the New York Times. It is listed as an art book, but-You may know it has no art inside. His description of our collaboration on the front cover and the 666 symbol is a total distortion that any fifth grader could understand but they sea sawed the painting to obscure the calculation to 666. Otherwise, the cover would have proved him a liar. I do not consider him a good writer but a sick minded individual who credits artists with filthy talking slang that we did not recite. I'm trying to forget him but I'm sure he has defanged us and some of it will be around to muddy our history. as a matter of record I never said "s-h-i-tt-y cows". he said that one time when he was talking about being alone at his home in Virginia. he set out to discredit our ministry. one thing hurts me most is he said my mother had on excessive lipstick when she never wear makeup in her life. he said my brother had on gold jewry yet he has never worn a gold watch or gold jewry and no gold chain around his neck as bottoms describes him. Someone needs to take him off his pedestal and his professor's job at the University of Vermont. I cannot foster h-a-t-e for him in my heart but I know his days are numbered to get by with such destruction of sincere individuals. I find outsider artist to be the most genuine people in the world yet bottoms seems to have it in for all Christian people. I wondered if someone paid him to do this to us. I'm assuming you see the powells book site of comments. I got eager and posted one but regret doing it then could not change it. There was 2 discrepancies in my posting and one of the second time of both the which came from comments rather than the book. bottoms friends has spinned his lies into a whole new dimension of ridiculous gesturing. i t is sick evil world out there but I had been almost immune to criticism until this, it all came at one time to bury us. Perhaps in thelong run if and when I say anything wrong I can excuse it by proven I'm crazy. dear Rand- I painted the bottomless pit with fire coming out of bottoms head and some artist purchased it before it got far. see my site thecolorfulapocalypse.com for written descriptions of our 4 collaborations. When I say our, I mean it with Norbert H. Kox of Green Bay Wisconsin. bottoms did a shoddy job describing every artist as weird but he is not true. Bottoms is extremely dishonest trying to enrich himself by using political correctness for fame and fortune. I rest my case. I have wanted to return to Iceland to check on my artwork at the Salt Fish Museum but my travels have been interrupted by my credit cards being full the past 2 years and I am not even keeping up the interest payments right now. They had an auction but I have not heard from them since. Summer is not the best time to go there because it's expensive. I fly out of Baltimore and could include Europe. I want to go to Berlin and paint on the Wall. I want to see the dialarama apocalyptic Art Museum at Frankenhauser East Germany. Everything about Greg bottoms writing is wrong, he is a compulsive liar. he is a con artist and he sure took Chicago University press for a ride. they are bull headed and deserve it. They joined his little wicked contempt for outsider artists saying they were amused by it. bottoms puts me in the category with fundamentalist Christians although he may have a broader sense of the term fundamentalist. Jerry Falwell and Bob Jones University here next door are the mainstay of the fundamentalist movement even though they h-a-ted each other. I am a million miles different from their doctrine. even most of our defenders do not realize that bottoms totally lied throughout the book and especially on the white issue. I never discussed it with him and I'm not racist. He invented all that stuff to be controversial. it's not fair. He lied about Norbert's tattoo which he had covered with a rose. Norbert told him what was under it but he said it was visible. Norbert was with a biker gang. He is determined to make everyone either racist or anti-Semitic or white supremacist or all three. He sure was eager to discredit our painting he put on the cover without getting full authority to use it, it is entitled idolatry. The collaborative painting exposes idolatry in both the Catholic and Protestant churches. I am not a disciple of Ian Paisley. Paisley routinely speaks here next door every year at bob Jones u. but I have never heard him. McCain seems to have a problem with supporter John Haggii but I do not align with Haggii. although all Protestant Christians share some common ground. bottoms takes a real character and transforms them into his fictional hotchpotch. Bottom line is that I think he has brain damage and is insane. his masterpiece which he thought would make him famous on the New York Times best-seller list may lead to his total defeat. After three months they had only sold 500 copies according to the Nielsen book scan. Weird Carolinas after one month had sold 5000 copies. Chicago University Press has been burned badly by this but will not admit it. they are a part of the conspiracy to defame us and defraud us. With the volume of work I have produced since 1989, show me one painting that is racist or anti-Semitic although I do believe that we are the 10 "lost" tribes of Israel. every painting I have done that I still had appears in one or another of my three art books. my work is an open book. I did not pick and choose what to publish, I let Travis photograph them all and publish them all. Travis Donley is on the way back here now from Utah ski slope photography and will work with me some this summer to get my journals back up on-line. I learned today that my original website is back up Thompson-art.com which has my earlier journals. The man in Charleston that host my first three sites has taken gravely ill two years ago and holds the key to the sites including artoutsider.com and art-church.com both are off line but Travis has them copied. the University of Chicago Press printed only 4200 books. Throughout the book bottoms intimidates us by saying he has tapes and notes and he did record some things but he threatens us with that and I say they will prove him a liar so let's hear them. A lawsuit is too expensive and requires too much time but surely someone in the University of Chicago which was begun in 1890 by the Baptist Church should be decent enough to recall the book and buyback all that has been sold of these lies. they promised us if they reprint they will make corrections but I do not see that they will ever reprint this crazy book. recalling a book is a scar on a publisher. they rather defend bottoms than to admit wrong. Bottoms slams Southerners badly in this book. if he had written this about a black person or a Jewish person he would have been driven out of town. i took him to visit North Greenville College and he writes that the student's all recited their names for him which is a lie, I was there and they did not. He would have his readers to believe that they were all just crazy and illiterate Southerners. a good writer does not walk on people or exploit little finicky territorial traditions. When i learned what bottoms had gone to us I registered thecolorfulapocalypse.info and thecolorfulapocalypse.com domaines to counteract his distortions and most of all to put the art out there with descriptions which most museums do not do even when idolatry showed at the American Visionary Art Museum they did not post/publish the description. In the early '90s after I had been painting several years I saw Howard finster on NBC News painting art in Penn Georgia but I only had one chance to talk with him when he was showing at Tuscaloosa Alabama's ken tuck show where I visited. I wanted to ask him about Revelation prophecy but he said he did not get into that. When my 300 ft. painting showed in the North atlanta Trade Center during folk fest he was across the aisle from my display but always had a hundred people waiting to see him. finster began painting after retiring as a preacher pastor when he was 65 years old and painted 4500 religious paintings in 20 years dying at 85. It told me he began painting when no one listened to him preach any longer. Nobody ever suggested he was crazy. When he died in 2002 I happen to attend his funeral and if anyone was calling him crazy i would have heard it, yet bottoms went down there with his psychology books to prove him crazy after he was past and gone. He later extended it to me and then Norbert. The only time I've heard that about myself is maybe from a son-in-law. bottoms inferred that Moses, Christ and the apostles were all insane. finster painted a lot about aliens and claim to be an alien but that does not make him insane. I have felt alienated from this old world for a long time. thank God for those of you that see the positive side. I am not comfortable to see the listings that the Spartanburg library has one of these books. That's getting close home. No major bookstore has stocked them,. it's only that they will order them or buy on line and for a while the numbers were going down meaning that customers were returning them. when you search for the colorful apocalypse by Greg bottoms you get a lot of crazy sites such as the one in Silicon Valley Michael Gant's weekly news paper and of course will not allow any posting to counteract the falsehoods, he calls us crazy and wild. bottoms has been scorned by comments posted against him by readers most of them know us. Bottoms lost his cool in posting his own comments on every site, even getting Amazon to remove Norbert's comments in the U.S. and England. the crazy ones are those who enlarge bottoms imagination as though it is a disease. they seem demonic in expanding on the fiery path he started. they seem like very miserable people. I clicked on one site that had a video listed and it turned out to be porn. that they be where I got that awful computer virus from which happen right after that. Bottoms however got trapped on the powell book site where he could not remove his raging comments. He sent 2 to Norbert long rambling e-mail's threatenings us in one Saturday and later Norbert sent them to the publisher and I think posted them on Powells books. he was apologizing to Norbert for distorting the calculation of 666 offering to pay the publisher to make the change himself. it appeared he was trying to patronize Norbert and split us apart which failed. I requested one from a local bookstore and they ordered 3, I purchased one and the sales clerk purchased one and they reordered one and have had 2 on the shelf for one year now but nobody else has purchased one. sorry to burden you will all this but if you're writing about me perhaps you need to know it all and the Straight of it. After it is all said and done, I wish I could do that well with my art books but it is hard to sell books especially at 40 to $50. My main book should sell for 29.95 but in order to make more profit they price it 3995 and 49 in hardback. I am trying to just raise enough money to buy 25 books of Art World of William Thomas Thompson and Apocalyptic Art of William Thomas Thompson both in hard backs which sells the best. I must buy 25 books to get the 20% discount on each. to buy each book is 700 dollars. this is the problem with e books costing 2 or 3 times more than volume printing. I wind up giving a lot of them away and sell a few but spent the money rather than pay the the Card. I have broken my rule of sending anything out before I sleep on it first. this is not hindering my painting art. My mind has been idling this week as I have had to concentrate on many projects around the house. I am taking physical therapy weekly. my brother is not very well and I'm spending some time with him. after I finished the state project I seem to be void of inspiration a bit and have concentrated on distributing cds of my Spartanburg show to museum and universities. when I cannot paint I write and I usually stay busy 16 hours a day. the world is grieving for China and Tibet during this horrendous tragedy and series of tragedies of apocalyptic proportion. forgive me for expressing anything other than sympathy for the great lost of human life and suffering. May 20, 008 journal, we must by all means not think or otherwise we may be crazy. MS NBC is in big trouble with the lighthouse I mean Whit*House for reporting what the president said on his propaganda trip to Israel. Oil now is 130 per barrel up from $29.10 when this present took office. Berman does not trust us to deliver relief supplies saying they fear we will steal their oil. The bust of the dollar will stop our meddling in foreign affairs one final word on the bottoms nightmare in facts i think is important for you to know. bottoms never mentioned having a schizophrenic brother when he came here nor did he mention it to Norbert. He blames his brother for turning to ART and religion in his time of despair. It is my opinion that bottoms plagiarizes most of his writings from massive computer searches then just plugs in a real-life character to fit the bill. his description of being lost trying to find Norbert's place in New Franken Wisconsin is a joke because there is no farmhouse fitting his description in the community. it is just his silly way. it has been said that a man cannot remember what he said if he is lying but the truth everybody remembers. It is also said that there is no such thing as bad publicity. If i were certified crazy then my art work would be worth a lot more I am sure but I am not willing to take that route. Actually, bottoms certified us all crazy already. bottoms did not expect such a groundswell of condemnation posted publicly against him and his book. He would answer those individually by posting and reposting on every major site. He would post twice a day and take down what you just said and say more. We were able to point out his despair to his publisher by Norbert capturing lots of his postings and by the powell book site of Portland Oregon not allowing comments to be taken down. It is strange then all that was posted against Obama seemed to help him and not hurt him, the 75,000 that attended his rally in Oregon on Sunday broke all records. one thing I consider most severe in bottoms book is that he said i saw the Book of Revelation entirely in my sudden vision on the Big Island of Hawaii. Theologians reading this would consider me an imposture. I never told him any such thing and it really hurts me for him to write such pure fiction. I have said many times especially when asked that I saw the coming of the Lord and the world on fire, no more. I have said repeatedly that the Book of Revelation is the vision of the apostle John and not of me. I saw one vision which put me to painting art and I paint it from the Bible Book of Revelation and other prophecy books of the Bible such as the Book of Daniel in the Old Testament. I would not dare claim to have seen the vision of the apostle John and that is why such writings to me are so hateful. however, once I write the truth about it I lay it down. It's like my art in a way, once I paint it I am delivered of it, of the burning in my heart to delivery it. Too bad bottoms is teaching this creative writing to his students. thanks for your encouraging remarks today. I just want to correct history for the record. bottoms has given his radical kind red meat to expand on blood letting of the innocent. obviously lying is not illegal. one lawsuit would bankrupt him and change his habits. The Bible says to let the Lord avenge our enemies. I did a painting entitled 'the ultimate avenge' showing a man laying in his casket with his wife all bent over using a cane and it showed the dead animals down below that he had eaten. The animals got their revenge. I will send you a short video of my art made by my family and shown on our anniversary. I considered it a great tribute to my work and I will try to remember it all those days when I feel that the world has passed me by. These are the things most blessed to remember. I appreciate your support. William dear ben- you should be aware of the letter sent to NBC by the chief White whore House counsel suppressing the free press concerning their reporting the interview in SaudiArabia when Richard engle interviewed little George about what he said to the Israeli parliament suggesting that the Democrats (0bana) of appeasement offering to talk to Iran comparing it to appeasing Adolf Hitler before the war. they published the letter and there are three related issues and their rebuttal contains quoting of the president saying stop shoving the g/d Constitution in my face when he was trying to get the homeland security bill passed. I put in search 'letter from White House to NBC Keith oblermann' to whom the letter addresses like renegades of NBC, the letter is addressed to the head of NBC. the letter requesting they rebroadcast it in a better light. The letter is designed to stifle any criticism whatsoever of this raving maniac president. Also see politico.com interview. people in this country are getting brave in speaking out. the press is getting out of hand for this administration to control. Obroma broke all records with 75000 in Portland Oregon Sunday. John Hagee now is found to have said that God created Hitler to kill and force the Jews to establish Israel. Hagee is deeply confused on Israel. like the church. your article on the weird state of Texas kidnapping 416 kids was on target. there are three major writers writing about it in the Times examiner of this week. Proverbs 10-6 May 22, 2008 journal, Children of the West Texas compound have been freed by a court. A Texas court today rebuked the Texas Child protective Services for taking the kids into custody saying they have no proof to back up their claims of child abuse. Their abuse in my opinion was being taken into custody as a kidnapping & terrorized by the authorities. Karl Rove has been subpoenaed to testify before the House Judiciary Committee about his role in prosecuting a Democratic opponent who was Alabama's governor and firing of U.S. attorneys. If he claims executive privilege and does not appear they may put him in the capital jail like they did over a hundred years ago. Congress cannot trust the Justice Department to do their job. John McCain has denounced the support of Pastor John Hagee under fire for saying that God put Hitler out there and the Holocaust to drive the Jews home to Israel to start the Nation of Israel. Hagee is full of mud on this issue. McCain still holds onto Pastor Ron Parsley who preaches that God has put America out here to destroy all of the Islamics. He is another preacher full of mud. When the Declaration of Independence was signed there was only one fear and purpose to be free from the British Royal Crown oppressor. It does not work to mix religion with politics. As the dollar falls so does the government. Gasoline jumped 20› per gallon where I fill up my car for a total $65 worth as of today. Lindsay Graham claims that we have plenty oil 50 miles off the coast of South Carolina. It is rumored that the Texas compound is in the way of the secret NAFTA highway but San Angelo is a hundred miles west of where I think the transcontinental highway is now being built which parallels Interstate 35 across the State of Texas from south to north. Cold-blooded killers are operating in Iraq with the sophisticated predator unmanned aircraft and its superior model killing people by remote control from a Nevada Air Force Base by satellite. When MS NBC reported on cold-blooded killers they drew some flak by people thinking they were talking about the troops but they clarified it saying that they were talking about this awful administration. When I say I am talking about both because the troops are pulling the trigger. I do not support our troops to kill innocent individuals in Iraq and Afghanistan. I do not support the taxes child protection agency to kidnap the children of the compound to give them liberty to watch Hollywood demonic television or be taught by our demonic evolution public school system or be exposed to the jungle of grotesque behavior and the school system and filled the language being recited. We are hypocrites in America with our gated communities. I heard one speaker on New York's Broadway say the higher the crime the higher the fences and gates are built but they all must come out eventually. Who are the real abusers of the children? The corporations. Preacher Ron Parsley has shown his ignorance before the entire world by saying God put us here to kill the Arabs or hacked at lease the Moslems. somebody please tell him that we would of been sent South East if that were God's purpose for the Pilgrims that came here and settled America in the 1600's. We did kill most all of the Indians in the process. God could of let Ishmael die in the desert of thirst with his mom Hagar if he had wanted to 3500 years ago but that was not his will and purpose. The Moslem religion is false doctrine as is the Catholic religion but it is not our place to kill anybody in the world any preacher telling you all the was is a false prophet and part of the Antichrist. May 23, 2008 journal, McCain rejects the endorsement of both his evangelical pastors. Ron Parsley who says that God established America to defeat the Antichrist Moslems. John Hagee who calls the Catholics the Whore of Babylon Antichrist and claims that God put Hitler in place to drive the Jews to Palestine even though the modern so-called Jews were never in Palestine, they are largely from southern Russia Khazarland near black sea. The Zionist Jews largely are descendants of Esau and not from the House of Israel and they are not God's favorite or chosen people even if John Hagee & Pat Roberson says so. Any religion that is not of the true Christ is anti Christ, that goes for all idolatry religions. The state of Texas appeals the court decision to turn the children loose, I thought they had had enough. They will lose the appeal in my opinion because the State of Texas is wrong. Hillary Clinton keeps mentioning Robert F. Kennedy's assassination, but in June of 1968. Keith Oblermann on MSNBC countdown tonight accused her of waiting for the next one to be assassinated. Why is June so significant unless her conscious is speaking out loud. Hillary must know something the rest of the country does not. If her presumed predictions come true, this country could be in a serious dilemma instantly & it could be destructive. This country is just waiting for the nightmare of this administration to be over but a crisis could extend this awful administration with martial law, with rationed gasoline and food. The program countdown has confronted Lou Dobbs to prove the NAFTA highway as he claims it is being built but he could not prove it. Sure, I do think it is being secretly built because the landowners are protesting it across Texas. The North American Union with the Amero money is ultimately NAFTA, as the North American free Trade Agreement. CNN reported 2 years ago that it was a done deal and no need for Congress to approve it, neither will there be any need for Congress in the future because the new government will move its headquarters and North America will be the Union of Mexico, America and Canada. This is actually an extension of the EU which united Europe into one country. Building a wall to keep the Mexican people out is foolishness. Fighting two wars is also foolishness. The $165 billion pasted one part of Congress today which is only a formality because the money comes from the independent Fed which translates to debt, more debt for us. The more they stretch the debt the quicker the dollar goes broke and that spells the end of America. America has the largest debt of any nation in the history of all the world. What if God put Islam in place to destroy this wicked America for its abortion and its Hollywood productions promoting anti Christ and perverted life styles and corruption. What if the judgments of God Almighty are falling upon the United States of America. What if gasoline goes to $10 per gallon and the airlines all shut down as we export the farm labor so there will be no food in the stores. Every household needs a backyard garden.
