March 7, 2009 journal, the new president said we are losing the war in Afghanistan and we are. When have you ever heard a president admit we're losing a war but it is the truth. Now they are criticizing him for saying the depression is going to get worse before it gets better. It is going to get worse before it gets better and why not tell the people the truth? In fact, it may never get better. Everybody seems to be out to rob the American taxpayer for all they are worth then sell their blood. U.S. Senator Lindsay Graham from the state of South Carolina was on Meet the Press admitted to 37 earmarks in the new spending bill budget including a new convention center for Myrtle Beach, a new airport and a new Interstate highway extending Interstate Highway 20 from Florence S.C. to Myrtle Beach. Why don't we just shut down Washington D.C. especially the capital building, Congress? Then why is he sending more troops into harm's way in Afghanistan when we are losing? A report tonight is saying that 50 trillion dollars has disappeared from the world in 2008. Citi-Group's capital stock closed today at 1.05 per share yet they plan to bail them out. There is massive growing controversy in Washington as the economy goes into the final decline. Most small businesses I know of are planning to go out of business this year. Small business employs half of the American workers yet they're getting no help at all. Americans without jobs get no help from the government bailout in keeping their homes. Tent Cities of homeless people are popping up nationwide and should be our major concern "from Seattle to Athens Georgia, Washington D.C. to St. Petersburg Florida. Did you read the report on tent cities available on many websites. Just put in tent cities and you get pages of information. What can I do to help these people to feed and clothe them. Citibank stock is about $1 per share and the government is bailing them out? AIG is said to need 5 trillion dollars more. The world is vommacking up the crooked banking system. The Hong Kong Shanghai Bank Capital stock is now selling for 4$ a share. GE is in trouble. They are owned by the German IG Farben Company that owns NBC and Bayer aspirin. Bayer recently made a new insecticide believe to be killing the honeybees. Senator John McCain actually said something intelligent "They have not made the hard choices to let the big banks go under". They say they're too big to fail but someone said they are too big to continue to exist also certainly at the expense on taxpayers accounts. Pity John McCain did not talk this way in September and October when the Republican bailout was underway. Most intelligent people know the banks cannot be saved nor can the auto makers be saved, they are all on a one-way street to bankruptcy irreversibly. It will all be over soon and you will not be kept waiting to see all the crumbling and chaos. March 8, 2009 journal, David Wilkerson predicts it is the judgment of God on America and the world. This is what I have been saying all along in terms of judgment and nothing can fix it. Let them spend money until money stops spending. A restaurant in Denver is serving food free of charge to everyone and they can pay are not pay whatever they cannot afford which is what it should be like in every restaurant today. some pay more, some cannot pay at all and no prices put all the food. It comes out OK. Warren Buffett said today that the economy has fallen off a cliff as it surely has fallen off. March 10, 2009 journal, the stock market came back strong but weaker than it has ever been before. I am sure they invested billions to prop it up artificially. Citibank stock went from $1.05 to $1.40. Big deal, perhaps if we hang around it will go below zero then they may pay us to buy it and maybe that would make some money if we want to make money. Citibank stock was selling before all this happened at $55 per-share so what a huge loss.* One more opinion on the financial crisis and questions. Dear Mary-Let me clarify the prediction I sent you from Pastor David Wilkerson about the recession being the judgments of God. I painted the fall of Wall Street in the mid 90's and the meltdown of Manhattan at the request of Lehigh University in Bethlehem Pa. in February of 2001. I painted the Run on Banks. I truly believe this is the judgments of God because America has been involved in violation of God's laws for centuries now but especially on abortion and aggressive foreign wars. I cannot conscientiously pray for God to bless sinful America or to support our troops in killing innocent people overseas. The sin of Hollywood, the sin of sodomy, the sin of idolatry. All these sins are known to be judged by God even in Old Testament times when he destroyed Sodom & Gomorrah. As to David Wilkerson's predictions of fires, I am unaware although we are seeing such actions overseas in places like France and Athens Greece. Most people now see that we are facing a crisis that we cannot fix. Today the Save the Children organization delivered a trainload of food supply to Elkhart Indiana where the whole town turned out for free food because their industry has collapsed. I never thought we would see this in little towns of hard working people. Elkhart Indiana, Feed the Children has delivered 13 tractor-trailer loads of food for 5200 families due to the collapse of the RV industry. Feed the Children is based in 3 Rivers Michigan with Walther Farms operations in many states and Mexico producing and supplying the food. Defendants from foreclosure in one state are asking their debtors for proof that they own the mortgage. They say most of them never are prepared to prove how they got a hold of the mortgage. It is like Chase calling me for payment on an account that has been passed around and was with bankrupt Washington Mutual the last time I heard from them. They only identified themselves as Chase in Texas and saying that the call would be recorded. I said I never gave you permission to record my telephone conversation. I never figured out what the caller was calling about until I realized later they may have inherited the old Washington Mutual account. They were calling twice a day from India trying to collect it saying they were Washington Mutual when Washington Mutual was already out of business. I called them a fraud. They have settled it by cashing a check clearly marked paid in full but they do not send the checks through anymore to your account so you do not get a copy of it. They most likely would settle an account for much less if it is 90 days past due but not if you're struggling to make the payments with interest at 32%. If I owe them anything it is not to Chase Manhattan. We are now seeing how crooked banks are. What's wrong with people or society when a young man kills 10 people in Alabama yesterday and a German teenager killed 15 today in a school in Germany? So many people are going crazy it seems or they are losing hope. America is reported to be losing faith in religion with less people claiming to be Christian in a report released yesterday.
