  2. Umm wow that's got to be the least informed rant about Ron Paul I've ever read. The reasons to support Ron Paul extend far beyond his drug policies which by the way are designed to actually have a positive impact on fighting drug use/abuse while reducing the extravegant expense of the drug war which is failing miserably with billions spent we see the trend of drug use/abuse increasing exponentially, he is simply saying hey lets try a different approach which has been proven in other countries to have a positive impact rather than the negative wasteful process we've embarked on decades ago. Perhaps logic is foreign to you mr. jonjon? Look a bit deeper if you want to understand Ron Paul's allure, it's liberty loving Americans tired of a rediculous government ninnying and taxing them to death over make believe or strawman causes. Back to the basics, get government out of our daily lives ... period.

  3. Is there any way to keep the music and music videos from being put in the recently added topics block? I think it is unecessary to show the post there and none get that many views anyways. I just don't like it pushing fresh articles out of the block. Just my opinion folks, You tube is easily found if you want to listen to music, I want to keep up with the Dinar myself, No offense to the people posting them, it just gets old.

  4. CNN. Broadcasting While Searching For My Pet Rock. I Think That It Must've Ran Away ..... 6-3-2012 Bondlad « on: Today at 04:26:32 PM 6-3-2012 Bondlady: "The market does not recognize the government support being linked to other countries and the ration based on government financial support." This has to do with taxes and the rations. They should have already had a better currency rate and they shoulda already dedollarised and supported there own currencies growth and not our usd. They should have basically already RV'd and gave the people more purchasing power so they could buy there own stuff and not have to depend on the gov to supply it. ... They should have revised and or passed all these important investment laws that would have attracted a bigger scale of big business but they didnt have quorum in parliament to pass a lot of the things that needed to be, to get the economy moving like it should have. Some was corruption, some was just trying to stall or bring down Maliki's government by not showing up to vote, some are just clueless and some are just there for a pay check could care less about the people. This doesnt mean they wont get into the WTO, it could mean that but it still doesn't mean they can't RV with out the WTO. They can still import stuff from there neighboring countries and from the way it looks the tarriff taxes will still take place. Which was a big demand of the WTO. So, we are still good to go per the taxes, which takes us to the need to raise the value of there money. We see the tarriff taxes laws was amended and dated and published in the gazette an passed into law. As of 6/30/12, no turning back now. We're finally gonna see these taxes take place! We know the WTO meeting June 7th, we know the UN meeting June 15th, this month is huge!!!!!

  5. Dr. James Dobson is taking a defiant stand on Obamacare and issuing a loud and clear message to President Obama: “I WILL NOT pay the surcharge for abortion services. … So come and get me if you must, Mr. President. I will not bow before your wicked regulation.” The evangelical Christian author and founder of Focus on the Family minced no words when he accused Obama of deceiving the American public in his exclusive WND column, “The president’s Obamacare lies.” Dobson notes that the president issued the following statement on the night of Sept. 9, 2009, when he gave an address to a joint session of Congress in an effort push members of the House and Senate to pass his health-care bill: “And one more misunderstanding I want to clear up – under our plan, no federal dollars will be used to fund abortions, and federal conscience laws will remain in place.” However, he said, “The speech was filled with promises and assurances that have proved to be shockingly false, and the president’s premise was based on deception.” In numerous speeches, Obama assured his pro-choice constituency that coverage for abortion would be “job one” within his health-care plan, he noted. “I knew from deep within my soul that the president was not being truthful about this matter of life and death,” Dobson recalled, noting that Rep. Joe Wilson, R-S.C., was so outraged by what he was hearing that he blurted out, “You lie!” By March 2010, the Obama administration had officially approved the first instance of taxpayer-funded abortions under Obamacare – giving Pennsylvania $160 million to set up a new “high-risk” insurance program under a provision of the legislation in preparation for a $5 billion national roll-out. “The Big Promise of Sept. 9 had already been abandoned,” Dobson lamented. He also observed that Obama fought language in the legislation that would prohibit federal subsidies for abortion: “This was his plan all along, and pro-life advocates were kept in the dark.” Earlier this year, Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sibelius announced an expansion of Section 1303 of the Obamacare law requiring millions of Americans to pay a minimum surcharge for abortion services. The amount to be remitted will be a minimum of $12 per year, but could be much more. “When an insurance company provides coverage for abortion, it MUST charge all employees an amount sufficient to cover the costs of abortion services, even by those who are horrified at the thought,” Dobson explained. “No one can opt out of the provision. That is now written into the law.” Furthermore, the Department of Health and Human Services has announced that businesses and non-profit organizations – including churches and Christian colleges and universities – must provide free contraceptives and abortion pills with health insurance. “When Catholic and evangelical church leaders objected strenuously to this assault on religious liberty, the president simply announced an ‘accommodation,’ requiring insurance companies to pay for the contraceptives,” Dobson explained. “Of course, they will pass the expense along to their customers, and employees will all be in the abortion business.” He said President Obama never intended to protect the conscience clause and even canceled President Bush’s executive order guaranteeing doctors, nurses and health professionals would not be forced to act against their beliefs. “Abortion is an integral part of Obamacare, and babies will die because of it,” Dobson wrote in his column. “Citizens never had an opportunity to be heard on the matter. The abortion component of the health-care bill will go into effect in January 2013. After that date, you could be forced unwittingly to support the killing of babies.” But Dobson vowed to take a stand against Obama’s “wicked” surcharge, come what may: I want to be very careful regarding what I am about to write now. It will not be said flippantly or with malice, but it will reflect the passion of my heart. I believe in the rule of law, and it has been my practice since I was in college to respect and honor those in authority over us. It is my desire to do so now. However, this assault on the sanctity of human life takes me where I cannot go. I WILL NOT pay the surcharge for abortion services. The amount of the surcharge is irrelevant. To pay one cent for the killing of babies is egregious to me, and I will do all I can to correct a government that lies to me about its intentions and then tries to coerce my acquiescence with extortion. It would be a violation of my most deeply held convictions to disobey what I consider to be the principles in Scripture. The Creator will not hold us guiltless if we turn a deaf ear to the cries of His innocent babies. So come and get me if you must, Mr. President. I will not bow before your wicked regulation.

  6. OK, I'll take a stab at this... "Primarily, there is no market for the Iraqi Dinar." There's no market because Iraq is under Ch7 sanctions. Remove sanctions, and voila, market. "...the USDIQD has held steady near a de facto currency peg of 1 US Dollar = 1170.00 Iraqi Dinar." Of course it's held steady. It's held there by the CBI. "In January 2012, it weakened to 1165.00." I must not be paying very close attention, but isn't IQD going from 1170 to 1166 a strengthening of the dinar, not a weakening? I'm just a humble mortgage guy, but this guy seems to be making some pretty poor arguments for an expert. By the way, why can't these folks ever get a big name to address this? I remember, a few months ago, Forbes Magazine came all the way down to little ole Birmingham, Alabama, and talked to some no name financial adviser, when they could have literally talked to ANYONE.

  7. So tired of hearing that lame ass justification...A vote for Mitt Romney is a vote for tyranny, oppression, fraud, and the nail in the coffin for the future of America. I can careless if you think people voting for their principles is a vote for Obama...we're not sheep looking to be led to slaughter like you, TPS, and cris... we actually know what's going on and care enough to try and spread the word to stop it.

  9. Franks Conference Call Playback w/Deltafrom 7 pmest6/4/12 Call 760 569 7699 pin 156996# Maliki was busy cleaning a little more the GOI this past week. Do you think that those he was cleaning up sat around waiting to be cleaned? No. Maliki was very successful. Looking for the National Conference?? What if it is happening right under our noses? There has been a hint of it; that it might be going on right now. We have rights to be a part of the international community now! …says the CBI. They have the right to be pegged to the US dollar. What does that mean? If we walked down the street and you were tired. And I said jump on my back for a piggy back ride. That would make it easy for you wouldn’t it. The IQD is now in position to be carried by the USD. Will the dollar like this? Yes. What does the IQD represent? Will oil production increase the value of the IQD? Who is carrying who??? Hmm? The IQD will strengthen and support the USD. Shabibi also claims they also have sovereign bonds. This was given as part of the Paris Club agreement. International! HUGE! Shabibi is the only one to pay attention to; ignore the GOI’s antics. Watch what they do and not what they say. SA paying Parliament members to vote against Maliki for no confidence. Iraq establishes banking platforms with other countries; this is humongous. June 7 – IMF June 15 – Chapter 7 ??????? June 30/July 1 – Tariffs SA doesn’t want a Shiite led Iraq government. But there is no replacement for Maliki. We send Biden to Iraq to calm down the no confidence vote against Maliki. There is no no-confidence against Maliki. So, why send him over then? National Conference is going on right now in Team’s opinion. Maliki has some watermelon as he sits the secretary general discussing constitutional disputes. Disputes have no ground for support. Maliki is ironing out these disputes. These accusations are childish and don’t amount to anything. Talibani is working hard on border issues and tariffs. Not the Maliki no-confidence nonsense. Team thinks these are the final two steps that need to be in sync. It is important on June 30th; Tariffs being enacted. Delta’s report !! No confidence against Maliki – not all news is true. Some true, most is not. 1) 2 weeks ago about the constitution the process in order to remove Maliki if that is what they want to do. Need two processes. Need a letter to the President. Parliament needs to meet to vote. Then 163 votes needed 2) How many seats the Iraqi list has in Parliament. 91 seats. White list is 45 seats. So list is not even 50 seats for the Iraqi List. Supposedly they sent documentation with 173 votes. Signatures were forged. Being investigated. Not going to happen. 45 signatures will be prosecuted by their Supreme Court when all said and done. Don’t listen to the GOI says Delta. Iraqi list is trying but they have nothing to take confidence from Maliki. Sovereign bonds are most expensive? How can that be says Delta. How can they sell those under Chapter 7?? Economically they are not bound by Chapter 7. Saudi Arabia is causing A LOT of the issues with Iraq. Not Iran so much. SA is a big snake in the Middle East. Frank doesn’t think it will add up to much, this bribing from SA. Riots in the streets want to keep Maliki. Frank says we are progressing. GOI almost fully cleaned and back in sync soon. The people like Maliki. This has all been some kind of propaganda and delays for some reason. Next week or two will find out signatures were forged and taken to Supreme Court. Don’t fall for the GOI antics. Pay attention to the CBI! Maliki’s position is growing and strengthening for the next few years. IMF on the 7th. Very important meeting in Frank’s opinion. Final steps, says Frank. Normally they go to the IMF but now the IMF is going to the CBI/GOI. 15th we might see Chapter 7 lifted. 30th Tariffs and borders – Talibani and Maliki working these file Tariffs 30 – 50% – we saw article to affirm this over the weekend. Next two to three weeks will be very telling to our investment. Sell dollar from banks to the citizens is very big news. Delta says looking like last steps being taken care of. This month looking very solid for us. Very important month – June. Stay positive says delta. Stay away from the politics and the GOI says Delta. Frank says they are running out of time! Watch to see if they move tariffs. Next Sunday moving CC. Frank thinks they may announce on a Sunday. Moving Monday calls to Sunday next two months at 6pm EST Delta jumps off the call. Frank hopes everyone is calmed down now from past few days regarding GOI nonsense.

  10. Thank you for proving you're a liar as well, since you don't have me on ignore. Right so buying the media in order to get votes is real democracy? Get real, if we had freedom of press and people were properly informed and not deliberately manipulated by people the likes of you, RP would have a 95% popular vote...but that's the great thing about all of this, all of the sudden the cry baby GOP don't like their own rules they've been abusing for years.

  12. 6-4-2012 SWFloridaGuy: I think it's interesting the US is pushing for the HCL now. The last couple months we've witnessed an accelerated push to gain a consensus and resolve the differences that existed between the Parliamentary groups regarding the HCL law, after the Security Council made some modifications. Now the US ambassador is advising Iraq on the benefits and importance, on an economic level, the Oil & Gas law will have to the Iraqis. The aim of this law to achieve the highest benefit to the Iraqi people and ensure a partnership between the federal government and producing provinces to produce the highest level of growth in reserves and production. This is showing that Iraq has improved synergism between the federal and state authorities. This operation in Iraq requires the latest technologies and coordination between the Iraqi oil sector and the global oil industry. June is a HUGE month for Iraq. Every single salient issue that's necessary for Iraq moving forward politcally and economically is being addressed this month. The potential for June subsumes Chapter VII, Erbil, HCL, permanent Ministers, announcement of the Strategic Council, the fate of the Prime Minister, tariffs by the end of the month and maybe, just maybe... our precious RV. I doubt Iraq's economy will remain stagnant too much longer. Only time will tell.

  13. How many MONTHS has this been repeated? So long as 21 World Banks DUMP 184,356,900,000 Dinars (that's one hundred eighty four BILLION, three hundred fifty six MILLION, nine hundred THOUSAND DINARS) in auction EACH DAY at 1166 Dinars to the US Dollar. . .(as they did today) the world is a LONG WAY from any RV!! That is unless all those banks have failed to read Okie's proclamation from his sources who are so terribly HIGH (I'll BET they're "high". . .the question is: WHAT ON?) From the OFFICIAL Iraqi Central Bank Post TODAY: ================================================================================== Currency Auctions Announcement No. (2148) The latest daily currency auction was held in the Central Bank of Iraq on the 3-JUN-2012. The results were as follows: DetailsNotesNumber of banks21Auction price selling dinar / US$1166Auction price buying dinar / US$-----Amount sold at auction price (US$)157,570,000Amount purchased at Auction price (US$)-----Total offers for buying (US$)157,570,000Total offers for selling (US$)-----

  15. Withdrawing confidence from Maliki is final says Mulla June 5th, 2012 BAGHDAD/ Aswat al-Iraq: Iraqiya Bloc spokesman Haidar al-Mulla announced today that “withdrawing confidence from Premier Nouri al-Maliki’s government is final” and the current talks are concentrating on “forming the new coming government and agreeing on its premier”. Mulla told Aswat al-Iraq that the decision is final on the signatures level, national consensus and Presidency decision. “We are now talking on Post-Maliki era and how to agree on the premiership that will urgently form the new government, so it will not be in Maliki’s hands after withdrawing confidence”. Iraqiya bloc, in coordination with the Kurdish Alliance and the Sadrist Trend are endeavoring to collect 164 signatures to be presented to President Talabani in order to submit the request to the parliament to withdraw confidence from Maliki’s government. He added that “there is an agreement that the substitute will be from the National Alliance, but the names of the nominees are within closed doors, not for the media”. Mulla confirmed that the parliamentary sessions shall be held in time, and “no need for an emergency session for this reason”. Close circles to Parliament Speaker Usama Nujaifi said today that the Parliament will hold an emergency session for demoting Maliki. The source told Aswat al-Iraq that a meeting was held late last night in Arbil among President Jalal Talabani, Head of Iraqiya bloc Iyad Alawi and Parliament Speaker Usama Nujaifi. According to the source, the political blocs completed collecting the signatures and handed them to President Talabani, who will refer the matter to the Parliament. My link

  17. In the olden days there was once a bridge which spanned across a large river. During most of the time the bridge set with its length running up and down the river paralleled with the banks allowing ships to pass freely through on both sides of the bridge gruders. However, at certain times each day, a scheduled train would come along and the switchman had to turn the bridge sideways across the river allowing the train to cross it. the switchman sat in a small shack on one side of the river where he operated the controls to turn and lock it into place before the approaching train got there. One evening as the switchman sat in his shack waiting on a scheduled train that was running a little late his thoughts were that this was the last train of the day and then he could go home to his family and eat supper. The sun was setting and the day was almost coming to close with its daylight but still enough to see. Finally he caught sight of the trains lights and heard its horn which was giving him plenty of time to make the adjustments needed. He stepped up to the controls waiting for the percise moment when the train was within a certain distance from the bridge to turn the controls to swing the bridge into position. He turned the controls into position but to his horror the pins did not lock into place to secure the bride. The locking controls had malfunctioned. He knew if the bridge was not locked it would wobble back and forth at the ends as the train rumbled across causing it to jump track and go crashing into the deep river. He knew since the last train of the day was a passenger train it would have over a hundred people at least on it casuing them to die, a death that none would see coming. The emergency plan was to run to the other end of the bridge and lock the pins by hand. He would have to hold the lever back with all his strength as it crossed the bridge for it to safely pass. He could hear the rumble and the ground was shaking, he leaned against the big lever and pushed it backwards with all his weight. He had never had to do this before and hoped that he was able to hold it into place until the train cleared. The people on that train had no idea what lie up ahead and what he was doing to make sure their lives went on. As he locked the lever into position from the end of the bridge the train would enter first he looked acrosss the bridge to make sure the bridge was seemingly lined up and his heart dropped in horror. There in the middle of the bridge was his 4 year old son hollowing " Daddy i see you and i am coming to where you are". Seeing this site of his only son on the bridge with no where to go and not really understanding the danger of the train made his blood run cold. His tiny legs would not carry him fast enough to make it across before the train got on the bridge, nor was there time for him to go back. The switchman stopped himself in time from letting go of the lever and running to grab his son to safety for he knew he would not have enough time to get his son and make it back to the lever. He looked at his son smiling and laughing, hollowing daddy, daddy and looked at the train coming knowing that he had to decide if his son was to die or the hundred plus people on board that train. The train sped on thru the bridge not aware of anything that had happened and swiftly disappearing into the fading evening light. No one on board was aware of the tiny broken body thrown mercifuly into the river depths by the rushing train nor were they aware of the pitiful broken hearted man who just watched his son die a brutal death crying so hard but still holding onto the lever as his son sink below the surface of the merky waters. They didn't see him walking ever so slowly toward home than usual because he had to tell his wife how their son died just a few moments ago. Apart of him went to the bottom of that river with his son. Now if you comprehend the emotions which went through this man's heart you can begin to understand the feelings of our heavenly father when he looked on as his son was sacrifriced to bridge the gap between us and eternal life. Would there be any wonder in any ones mind of why the earth trembled and the heavens turned black that day. But God the father looked down on all his children and looked back at his son and knew he had to old the lever of eternal life for his creation. He could have sent ten thousand angels and took his son off that cross but the bridge of eternal life for millions would have never been. Gods message and this message to us is this: We are all riding a train through out this life also not knowing whats up ahead, not knowing the dangers that lie before us but there is a heavenly father who is at the controls and will see us through this life and promised us that because he scarificed his son for us that we have the joy of knowing we will meet him face to face one day. We will be welcomed into heaven and see the one who gave his life for us. John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that we should not just perish but have ever lasting life. The switchman took comfort in knowing his son went from this earth to the arms of Jesus and that him being a christian would see him again one day. And i imagine his son will be running toward his daddy's arrival, "Hollowing daddy, daddy i knew i would see you again.

  18. Yasiri: The Central Bank has started to make some good steps to reset the value of the dinar Monday, June 4, 2012 Date of Publication Group: economy A member of the Finance Committee MP Abdel Hussein al-Yasiri, in a way to open letters of credit instead of foreign exchange of currencies used by the central bank to maintain the value of the dinar against the dollar. And Zkralaasri: The Central Bank has started to make good steps towards the restoration of the value of Iraqi dinar and to maintain its price in front of hard currency through the powers granted to sell hard currency for a number of commercial banks, in addition to that action will be taken to open letters of credit instead of foreign exchange of currencies. The MP Eliassrs: that the way the opening credits would force traders to open the adoption of their own by commercial banks, whether governmental or private, puts the insurance, so it is when want import goods from abroad opens depending instead of money transfer to ensure the receipt of goods into the country, and specifications To avoid high out of funds without the import of the country. The MP pointed out Yasiri: that the purpose of taking such action by the Central Bank in order to preserve the value of Iraqi dinar, because when you reduce the central from the sale of hard currency will lead to increase in value as the lower exchange rate of the dinar. http://translate.google.com/translate?langpair=auto|en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fpukmedia.co%2Farabic%2F%D8%A7%D9%82%D8%AA%D8%B5%D8%A7%D8%AF%2F4719-%D9%85%D8%B3%D8%AA%D8%B4%D8%A7%D8%B1-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A8%D9%86%D9%83-%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%85%D8%B1%D9%83%D8%B2%D9%8A-%D9%8A%D9%83%D8%B4%D9%81-%D8%B9%D9%86-%D8%AA%D8%B4%D9%83%D9%8A%D9%84-%D9%84%D8%AC%D9%86%D8%A9-%D9%84%D8%A7%D8%AA%D8%AE%D8%A7%D8%B0-%D9%82%D8%B1%D8%A7%D8%B1-%D8%AD%D8%B0%D9%81-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A3%D8%B5%D9%81%D8%A7%D8%B1-%D9%85%D9%86-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AF%D9%8A%D9%86%D8%A7%D8%B1

  19. There really is no point in telling you that Jesus is infinite love when you can't make the intellectual leap to there being a God at all. It appears the whole concept makes you angry, but it is not unreasonable to conclude there is a God who is not a myth, the great sky fairy, flying spaghetti monster... or pick one of the derogatory terms used by Richard Dawkins the patron saint of modern militant athiesm, but a real entity who is a creative force that creates all things that exists. I highly doubt this will convince you, but it works for me. The reason I believe in God rather than not believe in God, is that God is the best explanation of why there's something rather than nothing. What can make itself exist out of nothing? Nothing can make itself exist out of nothing, not you, not me, not the universe, not anything. An unlimited amount of universes still doesn't answer why universes exist. yet there's a universe, there is something rather than nothing. It's reasonable to conclude there is an intelligent non contingent being, meaning the beings existence is not contingent on anything else to exist, who's nature is existence itself, who is simple, meaning non material... if there is no material then it doesn't require creation, but is pure intellect, unlimited, eternal... always existing... who exists in a non linear dimension of time that doesn't require a beginning or end, where cause and effect are non sequential on a linear time line where all points of possible time are present at the same time. Where time rather than being sequential like a reel of film where it progresses from one frame to the next, but rather all frames can be viewed all at once. Where there is no time, just the reel. There are places in the universe where time ceases but matter exists... the event horizon of a black hole, at least until it eventually evaporates. It's reasonable to conclude that the same condition could exist where an entity exists where time doesn't. If it doesn't require time it doesn't necessarily require a beginning, since beginning and time are inextricably linked. We don't know of a condition where something can begin without time. Time is contingent on a beginning. One can't exist without the other. If it doesn't need time then it doesn't necessarily need a beginning because it just simply exists. and why does it exist because there is something rather than nothing, and it made it so. There needs to be one non contingent being, or first mover to start a series of contingent beings or contingent beings couldn't start. A being who doesn't require a cause, who is an uncaused cause which causes everything that is caused is a better explanation of why something exists rather than nothing. What existed before the big bang? nothing because there was no before. Space time is contingent on a universe, without a universe there is no space and time... not even a void... there is nothing. There are quantum fluctuations where sub atomic particles pop in and out of existence, but that happens within an already existing universe, it is impossible to know what happens in a non existing universe because that is where nothing exists. Not even where exists. I've had people tell me that we just have to accept there is no answer for why there is something rather than nothing... that's just intellectual laziness. So who created God? You can't have an infinite series in a set in reality, theoretically yes, but in reality no. There can't be an infinite amount of days prior to today, because if there were, there couldn't be a now, you can't get here from there because there is no starting point. You have to have a first day in the past to move forward in the future to the present, but we know that now from the cosmic background radiation from the wmap image that the universe had a first day. An infinite series of God's who could create the next God is not achievable. Out of necessity there needs to be one non contingent entity, a first mover, who's existence doesn't require being created especially if it is non material... no material then there's nothing to create, hence no need for creation, who is contingent only in itself. It sounds suspiciously like I'm describing nothing being there, except there is something rather than nothing. For me it is far easier to believe that something is there rather than nothing because it was intelligently willed to be there rather than it could self will itself into something from the state of nothing where not even will exists. Logically what makes itself out of nothing? nothing. then there's the nearly impossible intellectual leap that 13.7 billion years is anywhere near enough time for unguided atoms to randomly self assemble into a human brain, the most complex thing we know exists in a universe that is finely tuned for life to exist. If any of the constants in this universe were even slightly out of range, life in this universe would not be possible. It takes far far more faith to believe that a human could randomly self assemble in 13.7 billion years from unguided atoms than it does to conclude that humans were intelligently created. If it were possible for humans to self assemble in 13.7 billion years then there should be a machines in nature as well. If random atoms can self assemble into humans there's no reason they can't assemble into machines , especially if they have 13.7 billion years to do so, the key ingredients for evolution is matter and time. Why are there no machines in nature? Random atoms should be able to form anything including machines if they can form a human. Why are there no hot wheels that have evolved into ford f150's or tanks? If atoms can randomly move into increasing complex structures from simple structures which is the foundation of the belief in abiogenesis, then why aren't there machines in nature, why just biology and minerals? Now that I think about it, it's impossible to not see God everywhere I look. Yes if I was born in a Muslim country I would most likely be muslim, but muslims are intelligent and have a free will and do convert to Christianity, just like Christians convert to Islam. Jesus makes the most sense to me historically, and on an experiential level but that's another story. We all have free will to choose like you choose to believe there is no God. It's just the consequences for our belief or lack thereof are eternal, once we die there are no do overs. Either God is or God isn't, I believe it's the most reasonable to conclude God is.

  22. Adam in your opinion do you think there is any chance at all for Iraq being released from ch 7 at the coming UNSC meeting if Maliki is outed or do you think this will rollover until the next meeting? (thanks for taking the time for us, it's appreciated)

  23. I am Phoenix....and I would say...yes...my program is very accurate. Who am I ? I am a former special operations soldier with the United States Army. I left the military to pursue a private career as a private contractor. At this time I am semi-retired. I have lived a full, rewarding and very interesting life both privately and professionally. I have been invested in currencies on and off a few times in the past 25 yrs and currently hold positions in 5 currencies and 2 precious metals. I have been on a few forums over the years as have most persons reading this right now. At this time I am the owner of a private forum and a private chat and also host a nightly Blog Talk Radio program. I am joined in my adventures by my better half who goes by the user name"Lakehouse" and Lakehouse is the owner and writer of the news blog "Going Global, East Meets West" I stand against as I always have any exploitation of the innocent. There are many people who are on these forums who think the concept of "redistribution of wealth" means the redistribution of your wealth to their pockets and I have always spoken out against such behavior. I have never made any money on any forum or any chat in any way and never will. I have never supported or promoted those who do nor never will. I have always had a firm stance and have always suggested that people should support their local bank and the United States banking system and pay all taxes when and as advised by the professional of their choice. Myself and Lakehouse have pointed out fraud and warned of cyber crime and Internet scams as they appeared on the forums and by doing so I have become the target of the very individuals who stand to make a profit off of the innocent investor. My stance has always been "Date and rate are classified" and that this is and has been a "Live and fluid situation" The false claims that I have been saying the "RV has happened" or of claiming dates is not only false but an overt attempt by the individuals mentioned above to discredit me in any what they can. Yes I have pointed out hot windows of opportunity for this to happen in the past as have many (Adam Montana included) but thesee windows were always pointed out as possibilities only based upon the current events of the times. I make clear and always make clear that my views are speculation based upon due diligence and news and are not from"intel" or inside information. I am also well known for calling BS when I see it. Recent forum background: I first went by the user name of "Secret Key". As "Secret Key I discovered something that exposed a serious weakness and danger in an investment that was and is still hot at this time and put forward the evidence of the potential problems for investors in same. As I made public this damning evidence in an attempt to warn the innocent investor I was attacked on line by the very individuals who were "pumping" said investment". (No surprise) Because I had come forward with this damning information that exposed the potential dangers to said "investment" (not the IQD) those who stood to profit from getting others into the investment went on a full attack to discredit any thing I may say. So...to me no big deal...the truth was the truth. After that "episode" I was invited to join a forum that was new but had no desire to what so ever but after much prompting by the forum owner said yes...BUT he (the forum owner) insisted that I not use the name "Secret Key" because of all of the consorted efforts at the time to discredit any thing I may say. So to appease the request of that forum owner I changed my name to "Ranger77" Why that name? Because I am a Ranger and I like the number 7 and 77 is twice as good! So...on we go. The next thing that happened was that forum owner was in contact with a currency dealer and was approached by said dealer to become partners and to host a forum for the dealer. This forum owner asked me on the phone my opinion on joining forces with a dealer and i was very forthcoming in telling that forum owner I felt it was a very bad idea to do so and list the reason why I thought so. The forum owner decided to join forces with the currency dealer for immediate economic gain and did so quickly. It was very apparent that I was not too happy with what he did and I stopped posting on his forum. The next thing I knew was the forum owner banned me from his forum and launched a huge attack on me in an attempt to discredit anything I may say because of his fear of me publicly speaking out on his position of being in the pocket of a currency dealer and my firm stance against any and all pumping of dinar or dinar sales. It is worthy to note that that forum owner went off the deep end in his efforts to discredit me not only on his forum but others and dedicate hundreds of man hours and much bandwidth to do so. (some funny stuff...very creative). So.....again no big deal....I could not have cared less. Next I was in touch with few people who wanted to start a forum of their own and they wanted me to also join...so again...I said yes. Now this time they came up with the idea that being a new forum everyone should have a new name just for fun. So that is what we all did...we all (including myself) selected new names...and of course the name I chose was...."Phoenix" Well that forum went along doing well for awhile until the "troll factor" kicked in and we began to have a few disruptive postings and problems (like are seen all over this forum) so we decided to open a smaller private chat for just a few of us. Long story short on that is the forum owners manipulated that situation into a way they could milk money out of people for a profit and I was not happy to see this. Soon after a situation came up where we had a dispute and I left the forum. In an attempt to save face they attempted to publicly accuse me of something I did not do but this effort failed. That effort to discredit me failed on their part because of my careful archiving of my e-mails, PMs, chat logs and telephone calls which I have done for years because of my former profession and position. The very people they attempted to discredit me with were simply presented with a small amount of the documentation, the truth was made known and that was the end of that. So after all of that I decided to open my own private forum and private chat which I did...and has been open for one year and ten months. The name of my forum is "Gimme Shelter" and we have a locked membership and accept no new members. We had an open membership for some time and began to have serious problems again Also as you know I host a nightly radio show on Blog Talk Radio every night at 11PM est. The show is called "Gimme Shelter Radio" and is a nightly 30 min. broadcast on current events and news. Why do I post here sometimes? Well even tho I have my own private forum and chat, I like most others read all sorts of places. A while back I noticed that there were quite a few newbies on this forum asking some basic questions and saw many times their questions go unanswered so I did a few postings to answer questions and a few for fun. To find my past post on this forum just do a search. Yes I said "Happy Trails" here in December and for many months did not post and would not have even posted today if it were not for the overt attempt to discredit me seen by the troll force in this thread and am only doing so to set the record straight not for me but for those who may not know the truth to the situation. Why is my forum private? Trolls...that's why. We had a situation where someone had come on to the forum in an effort to disrupt and they were effective to the point they caused some serious problems and cause the splitting of some friends by the telling of some lies and such and as taking false identity on chat and causing many problems so we shut down the forum to the public and just kept a small core of friends as members. We now have 80 members or so and it is a good, proactive positive place with zero problems. Our members are fun, intelligent and all in all a great group of folks with good intent and positive out looks. As can be seen in this thread the Internet offers a veil of anonymity so persons who feel empowered because they feel they are hidden and use the opportunity to "act out" and vent their frustrations. Most of the time it is just that and people who feel frustrated just lash out but in some cases you have people who are "not well" to put it in a nice way. Many of these people suffer from alcohol and drug abuse and the frustration due to pressing personal situations in their lives fueled by substance abuse will result in some interesting post by these people on public forums.' Now for the most part this is nothing but innocent venting but it can lead to compulsive rants by these people almost bordering on madness in a consistent stalking like stance. I in fact have a few stalkers who follow me around attempting their best to discredit anything I may say...they are quite fanatical and sometimes fun to watch. As far as me being crazy? Dang right!~ They say you must be crazy to jump out of a perfectly good airplane with a parachute! Yes some of the topics I cover and some of my interest may be seen by many to be "crazy" or "out of the box" and that is just the way it is. The way I see it is if the former Navy Seal Jesse Ventura can ask the questions about so called "conspiracy theories" that so can the former Army Ranger "Phoenix". Don't like it? Then don't read it. So that's it. Be well!~ Phoenix Often imitated....never intimidated.

Hummingbird doing rolls.....a mother bat and her baby.....bees at work....etc. It starts with the opening of a passion flower....concludes with migration of monarchs.

  25. Someone called into the Chris Plante radio talk show (WMAL) this morning and reported that he was in a convoy going to Wisconsin to vote! He stated that the unions are busing folks in from out of state. They are getting paid for their effort and will be driven back home after they have voted. Chris Plante held the man over for more information possibly to pass on to the authorities. This happened at approximately 9:40am this morning and I personally heard the talk. The man calling said he is a regular listener to the show and needed to report it . The convoy is on its was now to Wisconsin and the caller suspects there are other convoys since this is union backed.

  26. Agree 100%! The war on drugs is just a bureaucratic black hole for taxpayers to fulfill politicians agendas, and we are no closer than when we started to stopping the flow/cutting consumption of narcotics...education from an early age is the key to stemming the consumption, which, in hand will decrease the flow...

  27. It really isnt surprising that Skeeve1 can easily convince the sheep on his sight that Iraq is now and has been announcing their plan to ”RV” by 300,000% overnight. Afterall, it is what the mindless follwers want to believe. It is all to easy for a con man to con the willing. All he has to do is make up ”contacts” in Iraq through his right hand man Ray. It makes my stomach turn to think how many people believe this scam artist.

  28. Then why didn't the US intervene in Rwanda, Liberia, or any of the other African countries that have been committing genocide, and tearing themselves apart for decades? What about the armies that are committing daily atrocities funded by the illegal diamond trade? These various armies and factions kidnap children as young as 8 years old and press them into service, forcing them to kill people that they once considered neighbors...this is happening right now in Africa, so tell me, why aren't we intervening there? NO OIL, or STRATEGIC VALUE.

  30. I am going to guess, but all their "talk,talk,talk" is going to develop into the end result of their plan, and that is to oust Maliki. IMO, this is a very important exercise for these politicians working towards democracy. It is new for them; a new process, and more importantly, a new thought process. Let them talk, let them do this right. They are following the requirements of the constituion. The upcoming dates for the IMF and UNSC will not change, they may be put off, but the current meetings on the 6th and the 15th, so I would think that the Fab Five are working towards their goal with a deadline soon. It is not our business to know exactly what is going on,and I would think the Iraqi people do not know either. Their media is not reporting, maybe they have nothing to report due to secrecy, and we are seeing articles recycled more than an aluminum can. I am going to take a walk under the blue sky and think about what I want to accomplish in the next six months, what new places I will visit, and what friends I have made here that I will be meeting for the first time to say hello eye-to-eye. We have so much to think about and so much to do. Forget the Iraqis for a minute and let them handle their business. They will call us when everything is ready.

  32. My opinion is this. If they do get rid of Maliki and the new president gets things rolling, seating all members of government, make good use of the re-structuring funds that have been sitting idle and being threatened of being taken away, and make a honest effort to sign erbil and get along with the citizens of Iraq, Kurdistan, and all the other citizens that make up IRAQ, plus make a showing to get their living situation up for the citizens and not just a few. Then I do believe they will be released. The Erbil and HCL would go a long way in my book. Things are looking good. I think that if Maliki, in a last ditch effort to save his butt, might try to get all this done with the 3 days he has before the no confidence vote is final. Like I said, this is just my opinion and I could be totally wrong. Who knows.

  34. The bylaws of these conventions will sweep the Paulers aside. If they get rowdy & disruptive Ron will lose delegates....His campaign office knows this, thats why they are calling for calm & trying to work with the Romney campaign. I've been saying it for a while, its not the message, its the tone of the message. Yelling, booing, screaming, may get you noticed by the MSM when they are outside protesting, but it will get them eliminated in a convention. No doubt, thats what happened in LA......we're not hearing yet what exactly happened to cause the Paulers to turn away & start their own voting, but it wont work. they are in anothers house and rudeness is not tolerated I guess we will see eventually, but it looks like its too late for Ron. He started a fire thats a little out of control.....he should have mentioned the word Decorum to his followers

Well it looks like Dinar Inc is certainly excited about the month of June, as they were last year at this time, with their gigantic June Jubilee sale going on along with their ever so popular armored car transport service......so we can leave Wells Fargo in complete safety with our duffle bags filled to the brim.

  44. Patriots don't sink the boat they may toss the tea over board not go against the rest for a common belief. The patroits of 1776 had their differences but they set them aside for the good of the colonies. Constitution be re-instituted don't we as americans have more rights than most countries? You have the right to have as many guns as you want, marry who ever you want and or have as many wives as you want. So if you don't vote for Romney and write in Dr Paul do you really believe beyond a shadow of a doubt he will beat obama? As you said you will vote for Ron Paul Regardless and as i told Mr 64 Jaguar the vote will be split, obama 4 more years and their you sit blaming Romney for not support Dr Paul. You guys are not true revolutionist, the first one of you who are caught causing mayhem will be crying before the judge my rights were violated and you will end up in a Fema Camp or should i say Federal Prison and their you will be wondering why they have not broken me out of jail. Man i was mislead. The difference between Obama and Romney is this one is a democrat and the other is a Republican keep on believing the hype coming from the RP express. The Meeting in Tampa will decide this election either the RP will support the Romney campaign or they won't. Simple and if he does win with the Tea Party support you guys will be sitting at home wondering why they did not come to kiss your feet for your votes. He will be elected form his government and you will all will be considered closet democrats in the eyes of the GOP. Left out sitting on the bench wondering when he is going to put us in the game NOT!!!!!!!! You can negative, call names get the thread closed but the writing is on the wall.
