Okay.... Let's just say that this is true.... (pause to regain compsure).... News outlets would be all over this like a fat kid on a twinkie. Not even a blurb on the bottom of the screen. Nothing, really? Granted, Maliki may be ONE of the issues but he is not the ONLY issue. Que ser a ser a....

I realize this has nothing to do with the topic under discussion, but I have been trying for years to get people to realize how much damage they do when they use certain comparatives that are demeaning to certain people, and groups of people. Our children are fighting for their lives, quite literally, in the war against obesity. They are failing. And part of the reason for their failing is their low self esteem. And where does that come from? Well, in part, it is from hearing adults use such phrases as ..."like a fat kid on a twinkie'... All I can do is ask you to be more careful about the language you use that may be read, or overheard, by a kid who is struggling with obesity. It is a difficult struggle and even if we can help in this small way, at least that is much better than hinderance.

Thank you!

Read all the news I could stand, didn't see anything about Maliki leaving. My BS meter is pegged.

[Nelg]

Maliki just called for a meeting in Baghdad of the political forces. He is not gone, just quite; taking a page out of Shabibi's book.

Malikis office just put out an official statement from him asking that everyone come to his house and settle this like big boys..... (www.pmo.iq). His official speech is posted in the News section. Released 20 May 2012. He is not gone. His is I think caling their bluff.
In another news article today, Sadr essentially said that they acheived nothing meaningful in their recent summit......
Just like everyone else, I would love to see the dramatic conclusion of this saga in some prime time special playing this evening. However, pouring through today's news coupled with Maliki's statement and Sadr's conclusion, leads one to conclude that we are still on the ride and will continue having to watch the latest episode of "As the Dinar Turns" ......

for ALL you knuckleheads that laughed, criticized, poked fun of this thread last night
(you know who you are). Well today I see your singing a DIFFERENT TUNE on thugs post. Its best to
keep your mouth shut & be thought a fool, than open your mouth & PROVE IT. Nuff said

Okay.... As far as the 'twinkies' are concerned, it was a metaphor. Pure and simple. It was not my intention, nor ever is, to belittle or cut down unless it is truly warranted. There are many reasons for childhood obesity, not just twinkies. However, if I have made anyone uncomfortable with my use of language, I will do my best to refrain from such in the future. Now can we please get back to the topic of the RV, the GoI and any other relevant variable that can effect either or both?

If this was actually true I would think Adam would be sending out E-Mails to the VIP's, so VIP's have you heard???

No doubt. If Maliki was out Adam would have advised the members of the event. It's rather important information to our investment.

I haven't seen Thug's post, but why would I be singing a different tune? As far as I can tell, Maliki is still in power for the moment, there has not been a vote of no confidence held yet, there has been no news that states he resigned, and the military has not moved against him. He might be gone in the very near future, but this original post is total fiction.


From original post:
The Final Holdup for the Dinar RV was Malaki who refused to sign off the RV. Malaki was placed in his position by the Bush Dark Cabal. He received a vote of ‘no-confidence’ by the Iraq government. The news said he resigned but was actually forcefully removed by the military.

I personally think it comes from the PARENTS buying their kids the twinkies in the first place. Going through the fast food drive thru on their way home because they are too lazy to cook.

The low self esteem is not the cause of obesity, it is the reaction of obesity. First its the parents buying the twinkies, then the kids eat the twinkies, then the kid gets fat, then has low self esteem. We need to look at the cause of the problems, not the problem itself. In this case, the PROBLEM is the parents are buying the garbage food in the first place.

Just something to think about.

Amen to that! I know this went off topic a bit, however I agree with you on this. Smee2 you have a very valid argument, and I respect your stance on it. I just don't agree with it. 20mill, I agree with you 100%, kids are kids and will eat pretty much whatever you put in front of them, minus broccoli or cauliflower unless you grew up in my house and had to eat it or feel the wrath of mom! Today is waaaaaay different then say when I grew up or my parents grew up. We had family meals that were actually good for you and not premade garbage you throw in the nuke box for 5 min, or pick from the virtually 1000's of "fast" food places around. Junk, all of them. I was never a "fat kid" growing up, I became one in my late twenties, and guess what? I took zero offense to the fat kid to a twinkie joke whatsoever. It was an analogy, a comparison, a goof. No longer a "fat kid", as I have stopped eating all the shite that is out there and went back to where it really is at. Meat and veggies. Fresh from the butcher, and fresh from my garden.

Sorry, bit of a rant. PARENTS, stop destroying your child by feeding them garbage!! Self esteem, hmmmmmm.........who cares what others think about you, you aren't here to make them happy, you're here to make yourself happy. I know, kids want to be accepted and "fit" in. Forget all that crap, be yourself.....if they don't accept you, they are not worth being a part of your life.

Deep Intel Down The Rabbit Hole 5-19-12

This is a HOT Intel tidbit which just came in. Sourced from Iraq and Financial Traders NY.

The Final Holdup for the Dinar RV was Malaki who refused to sign off the RV. Malaki was placed in his position by the Bush Dark Cabal. He received a vote of ‘no-confidence’ by the Iraq government. The news said he resigned but was actually forcefully removed by the military.

RV WILL PROCEED THIS WEEKEND.





Also hearing that funds have been transferred and in place for the Cash-In.

Hearing “Rumors” of Dinar Cashing In proceeding via tiers with the Fat Cats, Whales and Government People already done. The “We The People” are next in line.

WE IS READY FOLKS. LET THE BLESSINGS FLOW

Obviously in rumors, but this is the 3rd article Ive seen that says hes gone or they have agreed for NO CONFIDENCE

Well with all the bs about the RV will happen on this day or weekend I aint gonna get my hopes up. I believe it when I see not before lol

[Boatsum]
