blessing that will come in 13 35 days, which is certainly related with the seven-year cycle and that will end 13 35 days. he was told secondly to go his way because he was to die and then be raised at the end of the days, whether the days, the 13 35 days. now, getting back to the 70 weeks prophecy, the 77 jubilee prophecy, it's an amazing thing. 9/11 was the sixth trumpet and it's really quite easy to explain it and it's based on the number 666. if you count to 36 -- if i had a stopwatch and i clicked off 36 seconds and stopped that watch at 36, that's the very unique number because if you count the 36 and you add every number, you get 666, and god said, here is wisdom. him that has understanding, let him count the number of the beast, it's 666. that was the stop number, if
11:02 pm

11:04 pm
the board of supervisors even talk about that fiasco? now, this is the greatest headline. this shows how the city does business -- does business. nephew up for sfo job despite disciplinary action. please read that one because the lesson learned is if you want to be a high-paying city employee, keep breaking every rule. somebody will cover you and that even includes internet pornography. thank you. >> thank you. members of the board of supervisors, i would like us to remain on the overhead until i remove it.

[speaker not understood] san francisco open government was mentioned by a previous speaker, city librarian luis herrera is under investigation by the fair political practices commission and several of us went to sacramento to testify before the commission regarding this investigation. over the years, mr. herrera has accepted gifts that were directly beneficial to him such as travel, hotel accommodations, reimbursement for expenses, office supplies, so forth. he has also accepted gifts that indirectly benefited him by giving a large [speaker not understood] that he could pass out to staff members to silence them in their questioning of the relationship between the library and the friends. none of these gifts for years have been reported as required by state law or by local ordinance. they have been simply accepted and spent and kept quiet. in return, both the city librarian and the library commission have been negligent
11:06 pm
in the performance of their duties under the law and contrary to public policy. the friends have raised and expended more than $53 million between 2000 and 2012 and the library commissioners and the city librarian have nothing to show where that money went. in the effort to cover up their negligence, they have sensored and abridged public comment. they have been found in violation by the sunshine ordinance task force on numerous occasions and i have mentioned one to you that you six months ago referred to you which you will never take up because it uncovers your own negligence. it also violated the california public records act. and in the order determination 110 83, thatses what reflected to you but ire not going to take it up because it covers your own negligence in the matter. ~ you're not going to take it
11:07 pm
up ~ [inaudible]. ladies and gentlemen of the audience and supervisors, good afternoon. for the record my name is emil lawrence. i've spoken before this commission, many other commissions [speaker not understood] to other commissions many times in the past. for the record, i think also that what do we have to do to get dennis herrera to investigate luis herrera? are they relatives? is that what's stopping you? what's in your power to get to you do that when the corruption is on the surface? i'm not going to spend much time on this issue at this moment, but i think you should look at that.
11:08 pm
your job is to basically observe and also listen to citizens of the county. and when you see corruption, to get somebody to investigate it. very briefly for the rest of my time, i'm going to ask this commission, this board of supervisors to have a moment of silence for mr. paul courier who ran for mayor, had the guts to run for mayor, spent 5,000 with no political machine, who died of a heart attack earlier this year. if we have more citizens of the county and city doing likewise, we wouldn't have many of the problems that we have in san francisco if it had more citizens that were empowered in such a way. so, the remaining time is in silence for mr. paul courier. i thank you for your time in this. >> thank you.
