WE have to quit being in love with our incumbents. Return them to the private sector. VOTE THEM ALL OUT!!!

Its Thursday, behind on your sales quota? -

I just touched mamma......twice is that bad?

I think that CEO'S are WAY over paid, and the lady should't have been arrested, but SERIOUSLY, she's bitchin about making $8.52 an hour AFTER TEN YEARS? Either she has no ambition, or is plain stupid. What comes to mind is the phrase "the world needs ditch diggers too"...The blame is on her, not the conpany. She could have take a few classes to educate herself in order to move up in the corporate structure, or moved on to another job completely. And $15 an hour for fast food? GIMME A BREAK. A big Mac would cost $9!! When I was a kid fast food was a stepping stone to other career aspirations, I don't know one person I grew up with who is still working fast food. That said, I also believe that if you are going to make FF your career, then buddy you'd better hustle your butt and learn to become managemnet material and go after the big bucks. I am really sick of this "victim" "it's everyone else's fault" mentalilty...I know jobs are hard to come by and pay less these days, but this lady made her bed..she has to lie in it...

Okay say she starts going to school, keeps working at Micky Dee's while studying, still taking care of her kids, aquires $30,000 in student loans. Ta Da!!! She gets a new job as a secretary at guess what... $8.00 an hour. Just Lovely

Article by Dave Hodges http://thecommonsenseshow.com/2013/10/25/they-are-coming-for-our-water/ They Are Coming for Our WaterOctober 25, 2013 - Conspiracy, Featured, Main - Tagged: agenda 21, crony capitalism, dave hodges, depopulation, environmentalists, new world order, tyranny, water wars - no comments Dave Hodges October 25, 2013 The Common Sense Show America is under attack in so many ways, it is difficult to count. Along these lines, there is presently a three pronged globalist plot designed to subjugate the people of this country. These three elements include (1) controlling the nations water supplies by creating massive debt forcing governments to relinquish control over its water supplies; (2) private individuals and corporations are acquiring and hording massive amounts of water; and, (3) the Environmental Protection Agency is presently engaged in activities, on behalf of the UN’s Agenda 21 policies, to use the control of water to also control food production and eliminate private property ownership. The Path to American TotalitarianismIf a totalitarian government desired to control the people of the United States, garrisoning the country with an army of occupation would be extremely difficult, if not impossible. The United States has 315 million people which own 300+ million plus handguns and the country occupies a good portion of a continent. These are daunting challenges to occupying the United States. Most military strategists will tell you that it takes about one soldier for every 50 citizens to effectively garrison a country. This means that an army which would effectively garrison this country would have to be over six million strong! Even for the Chinese, this would be a difficult task. There are simpler and more efficient ways to control a country than military occupation. How to Successfully Occupy the United StatesHistory tells us that to successfully occupy the United States, one would be better off controlling essential life-sustaining resources instead of attempting to garrison the country. What are these essential resources? Controlling America by controlling essential resources. To control a population such as the United States, one would have to control what Abraham Maslow called the essential elements for survival, namely, food, water and shelter. How best to control food, water and shelter than to reduce the diversification of ownership over these resources and history has produced an effective model to describe how to effectively control these essential elements of survival. As the Roman Empire declined in influence and power, Feudalism replaced the nation-state government. The feudal lord was one of the few employers in the fourth and the fifth centuries. The feudal lords owned most of the land and nearly all the resources. Today, the specter of feudalism has shape-shifted into a global corporatocracy headed by the the central bankers, the United Nations and their Agenda 21 policies. The global corporations are constructing this brand of neo-feudalism right before our eyes. Phase One: Debt Enslavement Leads to Control of WaterBoth history and current events demonstrate that the more debt a country acquires, the more at risk that country is to losing control over its infrastructure and in particular, its water supplies to private interests. What do countries do when they are being strangled by debt? The answer is simple, they simply borrow more money. As America’s aging infrastructure falls further into disrepair, the various levels of government will be forced to borrow more money in order to keep its water supplies safe. This has been done before and the results were devastating to the country borrowing money. The World Bank and Bechtel’s control of Bolivian water led to massive civil disobedience and violence. Bolivia, in 2000, is the poster child for what happens to a country when it borrows money to fix its water issues. The Bolivian case in point is exemplified by the fact that the country borrowed money from the predatory World Bank in order to fix its water issues. The World Bank brought in Bechtel Corporation to fix Bolivia’s water issues, however, Bolivia predictably defaulted on its World Bank loan obligations and their water supplies went into receivership as prices skyrocketed by 400%. Further the Bolivians lost the right to trap rain water and reuse irrigation water. The exact scheme is also underway in Lima, Peru, where the typical poor family pays private vendors up to $3 per cubic meter to collect contaminated water in buckets while the elite pay 30 cents per cubic meter for treated water that pours out of taps in their homes. Also, in India, some families spend a quarter of their income on water. Debt manipulation, for the ultimate purpose of controlling water, is not just in play in the third world. Very soon, America’s crushing debt load combined with a quickly declining water infrastructure will lead officials in the US. Massive protests were held in Peru over the privatization of its water supplies by the UN and its corporate minions. The derivative debt has paralyzed the economies of Europe and the United States. Debt default, followed by the banker bailouts will lead to private entities controlling our essential resources. How long will it be until the globalists have to bail out the American economy while we continue on our trek towards unsustainable debt? When America’s economy falters, the bankers, armed with their central bank printing presses, will come to the rescue. The price for their intervention, judging by what happened in Bolivia, will be total control over our infrastructure. Collecting rainwater and purifying stream water to drink, are already becoming become illegal acts. All water will be obtained through the public private partnership corporations and you can bet, as history has set the precedent, will get very expensive. Illegal to conserve. What ever happened to Agenda 21′s conservation movement? States like Colorado, Utah and Washington have already made it illegal to trap rain water and use for such purposes as drinking and irrigation. In Douglas County, Colorado, just south of metropolitan Denver, engineers conducted a study on how rainwater collection affects aquifer function and health as well as groundwater supplies. The study revealed that when private parties collect rainwater on their properties, this serves to reduce the demand on local water facilities and improves conservation efforts. Based upon this research, trapping rainwater should be encouraged. However, conservation is not the goal of modern day water management, political and personal control of the citizenry is the final objective. The Bolivian water experience is already underway in the United States. Did we really think that this only happening in Bolivia? Similar projects are underway in Manila, Pakistan and San Francisco. Yes, this is correct; Bechtel now has a contract with San Francisco ’s city government to upgrade the city’s water system. Bechtel employees are working side by side with city workers in a privatization move that people-in-the-know fear will lead to an eventual take-over of San Francisco ’s water system and create a fiasco similar to the one in Bolivia. The wolf is at the door as massive debt will soon cause the US to lose control over our water. This is all part of an Agenda 21 plot to control the water of the United States in order to subjugate the people and to make a lot of money in the process. The Inbred Relationship Among the Government, Bechtel and the United NationsHow interconnected are the global corporations to the United States Government, the United Nations and Agenda 21? Before the cries which will challenge me to don my tin foil hat before writing about a water conspiracy, I would ask that you please first consider the following list of Bechtel employees who have moved into major policy making positions both in the United States Government and the United Nations. 1. Bechtel’s CEO, Riley P. Bechtel, served on the President Bush’s (43) Export Council (4/24/03) 2. George Schultz. Shortly after assuming his new position in Bechtel, President Reagan recruited Schultz to Washington to serve as Secretary of State. 3. Reagan’s Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinburger was a former Bechtel general counsel. 4. W. K. Davis was a Bechtel vice-president for nuclear development before he was appointed as Reagan’s Deputy Secretary of Energy and administrative head of the Atomic Energy Commission. 5. William Casey a former Bechtel consultant served in a number of government positions including chairman of the SEC under Nixon, head of the Export-Import bank under President Ford, and director of the CIA under Reagan. 6. Richard Helm, who later became a ‘consultant’ to Bechtel, had earlier been a CIA director under Nixon. 7. William Simon, Nixon’s Treasury secretary, was hired by Bechtel as a consultant. 8. Ross Connelly, CEO of Bechtel Energy Resources Corporation (retired), was appointed by George W. Bush (41) in June of 2001 to the Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC). The OPIC has strong connections to the United Nations privatization projects. 9. Stew Burkhammer, a current Bechtel executive, is presently a member of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) Advisory Committee on Construction Safety and Health. 10. Marie-Françoise of Bechtel (France), Conseiller d’Etat, From 1979 to 1980, she was Consultant of the United Nations Asian and Pacific Development Center. . The connections between these groups can be further exemplified by the following: United Resolution 1483, from the UN Security Council in 2003, approved the occupation of Iraq by American and British forces, thus making Iraq into a de facto colony. As such, this opened door for a corporate feeding frenzy by companies such as Bechtel as they lined up to “repair” Iraq following Gulf War II. Subsequently, Bechtel received a $1.03 billion contract to oversee major reconstruction of Iraq ‘s water and sewage. In spite of Bechtel’s promises, Iraqi families continue to lack access to clean water. The company made providing Southern Iraq ’s potable water one of its top priorities in which Bechtel promised delivery within 60 days following the commencement of the project. Within a year, Iraqi people still were suffering through epidemics of water-borne illnesses (e.g., cholera, kidney stones and diarrhea). Bechtel failed to live up to its word, but they did make a lot of money. And some people think that the United Nations is merely a benign and benevolent organization which is essentially neutral on all areas of politics and finance. Today, the stock holders of Bechtel have the United Nations to thank, in large part, ConclusionLet’s be very clear. Debt is being used to control water by taking advantage of various levels of governments which are defaulting on financial obligations. This practice will soon be visited upon the United States. The United Nations, the World Bank and globalist corporations (e.g. Bechtel) are waiting in the wings to subjugate our people as our crushing debt will undoubtedly open this door. America can indeed be garrisoned through the control of water. And the control of water will, in large part, be facilitated through controlling of the America’s debt. If this were the sole extent of our water challenges, our collective existence would be imperiled, but it gets worse. We now know that when the globalists invade a country, they do so on multiple fronts. In the next part of this series, two more aspects of water control will be revealed as it will be revealed that the globalists, through the Environmental Protection Agency, are not just going to control water, but they are going to use the control of water to also control food production and private property ownership.

Frank26 CC Notes - 24 Oct 2013 • frank believes it’s imperative to state something that was missed – on monday’s call, frank and nova tried to impress on everyone that there are no rumors any longer, all the information that is being relayed is fact, not rumor; we are no longer seeing agreements or negotiations, we are seeing implementation; what was “missed” by most are in two articles brought in by walkingstick; the first is the goi telling the cbi to implement the full payment to egypt; this is amazing because we must go back to april when egypt requested to borrow money from iraq – that was the agreement, now we see the implementation; to implement, there must be a rate; the article stated that they need to “recalculate” to a different figure, coming out or around $3.60 - $3.70 • the second article is the cooperation of the goi and the cbi, they are pointed toward one another, and they are now united and working together, they are recalculating the money on all the agreements that were made previously • post 262 from walkingstick, article states the same thing, agreement from 2012 and goi is asking the cbi to implement payment now • the remaining debt to paris is being recalculated Nova came on the call at this point • Frank stated again that at this point there are no rumors, all is verifiable fact • Nova stated that the only way iraq can be article 8 compliant is to use the iqd to pay their debts internationally • Frank asked that the family study what’s going in china, pay attention to asia; frank also stated that he and eagle1 agree on almost all things, that he respects all of eagle1’s intel and opinions, that eagle1 posts only on ktfa, and they will work together after the rv – one point they are not in total agreement is that eagle1 believes all 198 currencies will revalueat once, and frank believes there will be baskets, and the first basket will have approximately 20 currencies Delta came on the call at this point • Delta extended greetings to everyone; he did not intend to speak again until after the rv, but due to so many requests he’s speaking tonight; Delta and Frank are still working closely together, they are brothers in christ and their relationship has not changed, there simply was no further updated needed; no one should be anxious or concerned that delta is not on the calls, nothing has changed; they continue to work together, but the things they discuss cannot be shared until after the rv • Delta’s update from iraq: talibani is not dead, but he’s quite ill and really cannot speak, so it’s very doubtful he can act as president; the kurds are searching for a candidate for the elections next year • there has been ratification of the agreement between the eu and iraq, this is very important • there is nothing new/no update on qi cards; they still cannot be used internationally • the currency in iraq is in bad shape physically (torn, worn) and they are still calling for the cbi to replace the currency • Delta said that the story that nadia brought on monday about western union was really important and is fact; on the moneygram website, it will not accept transactions for iraq; right now, money cannot be sent by wu or mg, and this is really exciting • regarding the sofa agreement: there are 2 parts, the first part dealt with the army and troop withdrawl, the second part deals with economy and trade; can see the agreement on the ust website • Delta read the highlights of the sofa agreement in arabic and then translated (realize that internet translations often change the meaning or don’t get it right, so take care when using internet translation) • the hightlights: there is trade and investment framework agreement between the usa and iraq which recognizes the urgent need to revive the iraqi economy and bolster private sector development, and further integrate iraq into the world economy; the joint commission on iraq development and reconstruction • this agreement shall enter into force on the day that the goi notifies the usa that all legal agreements have been fulfilled; this is a great agreement, and recall that m is coming to the usa on november 1 • iraqi tv has reported that m is going to usa to activate the second part of the sofa agreement • the usa gave iraq a benchmark, or “home work” to do; the un released iraq from chpt 7 on jun 27, but the rv was not accomplished because the sofa agreement needed to be fulfilled; to activate the second part of sofa, iraq must be article 8 compliant with the imf – they must have freedom of movement of capital, meaning they must have international currency • it is not possible for iraq to be article 8 compliant at 1166 rate; the imf said they will support iraq dinar only with terp law and lifting 3 zeros; 1166 is an artifical program rate, it does not reflect the true value of the iqd • 2 ½ years ago, ernst and young audited iraq and they came up with a rate of $1.32 that was supportable at that time, imagine what they can support now with all the investment and development in the past 2 ½ years • from the cbi, they are saying the 3 zero currency will coexist for at least 3 years, and between banking institutions they will continue to use for 10 years • turki came to dc, invited to the g20 meetings, this was very impressive to have iraq invited to the g20; opinion is that behind closed doors turki reported on what they are doing, that they will increase the value of the iqd, and received permission to move ahead, but this is confidential • Delta has 100% confirmation that the ld’s exist, they have been printed and will be released with the new rate • turki has gone to china; all is set, ready to go; m has a meeting with o and perhaps will see an announcement when turki comes back from china – delta stated that he does not now the date or rate, so this should not be taken as a date • Delta is very confident that the new rate will be released in 2013, and in his opinion only, he believes that before thanksgiving (in usa) we could see something, but again, there is no date or rate • Delta does not expect anything to happen while turki is out of iraq, and turki will return to iraq on oct 27 or 28 • there is an election in march for president of iraq, and if nothing happens to m, he could win a third term • Frank said there is another 3-day holiday in iraq that was just announced; delta said there is no official announcement from the goi yet; frank believes we may see an announcement of the holiday from the goi in the next day or two • Nova said he finds it fascinating that iraq was invited to the g20, that iraq released to the world how they are going to back their currency, and we see the cny will part of the deal, then t goes directly to china and m is scheduled to go to the usa – this is not coincidence; delta agreed, this is an exciting time • Nova asked delta if the people in iraq really understand that the agreements are being implemented? Delta said most people are not aware, they are looking for jobs, but there are those who watch and understand and are aware; the citizens are focusing on seeing improvements in infrastructure • Delta said no matter what indicators are looked at, all point to the rv • Nova asked delta how the rd will be managed? Will it be thru the qi cards? Delta agrees that the qi cards will be a tool to manage the rd – it will be confusing for many people to understand that after rv, the notes without 3 zeros have the same value as the 3 zero notes now • Nova said of course we want to see as high of a rate as possible, but realistically, the number cannot be totally out of sync with other global currencies such as the usd and cny; Delta agreed, and said going back to the mof, the value must be at least $1.16, and then come up gradually; it would be very confusing to the iraqi people if the iqd is very different from the usd – they can understand 1:1 but coming out over 3:1 or some other number, would be very confusing for the citizens, and then raise over time • Nova is not advocating any rate, his point is that in his opinion, we maybe seeing a rate more in balance with other world currencies, and may grow to the $3+ range; nova’s opinion is that setting expectations more closely to 1:1 will not lead to any disappointment, but expecting a much higher rate may lead to disappointment; delta agrees, it would be great to see 3+ but realistically, in his opinion somewhere from 0.86 to 1.16 is likely for the iqd to come out; the take away for delta is that he wants to see any rate come out, cash in a little, save the rest and wait for the value to rise • nova asked delta if the situation in syria will have any effect on the stability of the iqd? No, delta does not believe it will, and gave example of other countries in turmoil and their currency remained stable; nova said this being true, why would anyone want to get rid of all their dinar? Bluestar came on the call at this point • bluestar asked how can iraq come out at this late stage with a rate of 0.86 – 1.16; his opinion is that it’s much higher? Delta’s opinion is that in iraq they will come out with a lower rate and the value will increase over time; recall that this is being done for the iraqi citizens, not for us, they do not want to confuse the citizens of iraq, and in delta’s opinion, it will increase in value slowly Frank opened the lines to take questions • caller: in caller’s opinion, due to investment and strengthening of the economy, the rate will come out higher; delta replied to recall the plan from s and the council of ministers that they would come out at 1:1; mop website shows calculation of 1.16 and then increase; delta’s opinion still is that the rate in iraq will be 1:1 or a little higher • bluestar asked delta if he agrees the rate will come out on the cbi and then we’ll see the gcr? Yes, delta agrees • caller: what has the aop said about the rate, and has it changed? Frank replied that the aop wanted 3.2108 plus 20% which equals 3.86; delta agrees that’s a target to reach in time, but delta does not believe it will come out at 3.86; nova agrees with frank about the target of 3.86, but the aop has not said when they want it to reach this target • bluestar said he made 7 calls to western union and was told there is no problem to send less than $300 to iraq with valid id; he asked if he can send usd and they receive usd – yes; can he send in usd and they receive in iqd – yes; money can be sent, but not on-line due to a “business decision”; nova said it’s possible they will not allow the on-line transaction because the computer system has the new rate; delta then observed that just as nadia reported on monday’s call, she was able to send the money, but it was not recevieved in iraq, delta also confirmed that moneygram is not sending; delta said what is important is the pattern change – why has there been a change in the handling of the transactions to iraq ? Western union has transacted into iraq for years – why all of a sudden now they have suspended some transactions? This is how western union makes their money, why would they stop doing transactions unless something is going on? • caller: why would the iraqi people have to be educated when at one time their rate was 1:$3.22? Delta replied it’s been 20 years since the program rate was instituted, so it’s been a long time, there is a generation that has not experienced 3.22; also, s told them that the 3 zeros will be deleted, so a lot of people don’t know what’s going on; the people need to be educated • caller: there are some banks in guardianship; is it necessary for them to come out of guardianship before the rv can happen? Delta replied there are 2 banks, warka and another bank, but warka is doing well; these 2 banks’ status has no impact on the rv • caller: he has heard reports that m is in dc today – is that confirmed? Also, isn’t is good for the rv to happen while m is still in office so that he an o can pose for the cameras and make it look like they are the 2 that made it happen? Frank replied that in his opinion the rv should happen before m comes to dc. Delta replied that iraq must have international currency and article 8 compliant before the trade agreements can be activated; delta said m is not in dc, he’s scheduled to arrive on oct 28 or 29, he could come earlier, but there is no confirmation that m is in dc now At this point, eagle1 came on the call • eagle1 stated he has contacts in dc (one who served in the first term of o’s administration) who are telling him that there is a delegation of 9 people from the goi in dc in a meeting now – does delta know what the meeting is about? Delta replied eagle1’s intel is exactly correct, they are getting everything ready for the big event, they are discussing a lot of different topics and taking care of paperwork • eagle1 stated that according to his source, there is an attempt to renegotiate some of the original terms of the agreement made by s during the bush administration, regarding a change in how the iqd wil be exhcanged in terms of paying off the national debt of the usa; delta does not have any additional information, but he knows what eagle1 is talking about • bluestar said there is symbolism in m’s arrival in dc; bluestar said in his opinion, m may join the delegation here, big celebration in dc, and then return to iraq “victorious,” or the annoucement could be made in iraq, and then m comes? Delta replied it’s anyone guess, they can do anything, and delta’s opinion is that we may well see the announcement by the cbi before m comes to dc – in any case, the cbi will make the announcement • bluestar said that maybe there will not be a big celebration so that most americans remain ignorant to the rv and what is happening • caller: asked why wouldn’t the dinar come out at least equal to the euro? Iraq actually has the asset to back their currency where the euro does not; why wouldn’t it be at least equal to the euro? Delta replied it’s an excellent question, and it’s very possible – it could come out equal to the euro or pound, $1.25 - $1.50; delta is more concerned that international status is given than what the starting rate will be • caller: caller said he called western union, and they said yes, they can send money to iraq, but they cannot guarantee it will be received in iraq; he also called moneygram and they said they cannot send money to iraq as of sept 22 due to “regulations” • frank said he knows why delta said farewell 2 months ago, and why he has come back tonight, and hopes that we will be having thanksgiving dinner in hawaii • frank does not believe that wf will be doing any business with him, so when the rv happens, frank will turn over whatever information he has, and then will go to hawaii • delta encouraged everyone to go slow when the rv happens, to stop and think, take time making decisions; delta wished everyone well and god bless I team report • frank said i team called just before the start of the conference call, and he was surprised as he has not heard from them in 10 days • i team called to report one thing, a follow up to their last call with frank; on their last call to frank i team reported “iraq now has to cut the bait and start fishing;” i team’s report for tonight is “they are now fishing” meaning they are working on all that is needed for international status • frank has a team that went to wf and said they want to close their non-interest bearing account (as a test) and a manager came out, took them into his office, and said they strongly advise waiting just a few more days before closing their account Frank closed the call with prayer, and andy lifted the prayer with the shofar horn blast Posted on ktfa by BulldogFord65

I don't get it. Are we on a roller coaster, an airplane, or a ship?

Majid Al Suri, Iraqi banking expert, opined that Iraqi dinars should be strengthened and turned it into a currency is possible to deal at the international level, not just local. He further remarked, “The local and international situations inappropriate disengagement of the Iraqi dinar to the US dollar, ruling out the success of the disengagement of the Iraqi dinar to the dollar being tied to the global system and the development of local industries and agriculture, then the right conditions will be available disengagement dinar to the dollar.” He also stressed on the issue that the need for finding a new global monetary system instituting various currencies. In order to create economic stability of the global monetary, a monetary system, approved by the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank and the Organization of the century is needed. Economic Information Center, the government need to work on the disengagement of the Iraqi dinar to the dollar, indicating that the current data do not indicate seriously special programs to find alternatives to the parallel development of the oil. http://www.iraqdirectory.com/en/2013/10/24/25354/banking-expert-urges-for-strengthening-iraqi-dinar-not-just-locally-but-globally.aspx

gm, yota I am not surprised Earline was fired. I heard Sean's call to her and she was very sweet and probably game him much more information than her employers wanted released. So Hannity is now donating a years salary over this incedent. The call:

The big chested women are coming out of the wood work and walls. They have a special talent to smell money through 10 feet thick concrete walls. Im ready to party. Lets do the Possum dance and drink our favorite boat drinks with the fancy umbrellas.

That's odd, cause if she's not touching me back.........than you must be Ahoy Floyd

by: Sam Pizzigati October 24 2013 Give McDonald's honcho Jeff Stratton the "Petulant Plutocrat Of The Week" award. He couldn't stop grinning last December when he became the top exec for the U.S. side of the McDonald's fast food empire. But Stratton wasn't smiling earlier in October when McDonald's worker Nancy Salgado stood up from a hotel ballroom audience during one of his talks to protest Mickey D's notorious poverty wages. Called out Salgado, "It's really hard for me to feed my two kids and struggle day to day. Do you think this is fair that I have to be making $8.25 when I have worked for McDonald's for 10 years?" Stratton's retort: "I've been there 40 years." Security staff had Salgado arrested, and she must appear in court in Chicago on November 1. Meanwhile, the video of the encounter and figures to bolster the ongoing campaign nationwide for a $15 fast food minimum wage. That's one of many examples of how the gap between the rich and the rest of us isn't just a modern phenomenon; these days it's grown into a chasm. Nowhere is that more evident than in a comparison between - we kid you not - old Rome and modern Mexico. Marcus Crassus, the wealthiest single individual in ancient Rome, had an annual income that equaled the take-home of 32,000 average Romans. Carlos Slim, the world's richest single individual today, has an annual return on his fortune that equals the average annual wage of 400,000 of his fellow Mexican nationals. Slim isn't alone. A new report shows just 110 Russian oligarchs control half of that country's wealth. These are the cronies who made out like bandits when they grabbed, at rock-bottom prices, state-run industries after the USSR collapsed 22 years ago. Here are other nuggets from the world of the rich, in contrast to the rest of us: If you added up all the wealth in the world, as of this past June, and gave an equal share to every adult on the planet, what would your share be? Researchers at the Swiss banking giant Credit Suisse have an answer for you. Average global wealth per adult now equals over $51,000, they report, up 4.9 percent over 2012. In the real world, of course, the vast majority of the world's people hold next to no wealth at all. Over two-thirds of the world's adults, 68.7 percent, have less than $10,000 to their names.Together these 3.2 billion people own just three percent of the world's wealth. Those global adults sitting on over $1 million each in personal net worth, on the other hand, make up just 0.7 percent of the world's adult population. They hold 41 percent of the world's wealth. Sounds like Russia; also the U.S. Early on in the federal government shutdown - a move he helped engineer - right-wing Rep. Michael McCaul, R-Texas, announced he would give up to charity his entire House paycheck for the duration of the unpleasantness.McCaul might have some trouble noticing that any of his income has gone missing. He and his colleague, Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., each have more than twice as much personal wealth as any other lawmaker. The Center for Responsive Politics puts McCaul's fortune at $501 million, Issa's at $480 million. Members of Congress get $5,400 every two weeks in salary. If McCaul nets a three percent return on his investments this year, he'll take in over $7,200 every working hour. Corporate execs are scrambling for new reasons to stall the three-year-old Dodd-Frank Act mandate that requires companies annually disclose the ratio between their CEO and median worker pay. The median is the point where half the workers earn more and the other half earn less. Corporate flacks had first argued that having to tally up all their worker pay stubs and compute a median would impose much too heavy a burden upon them.But the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission last month proposed regulations to let corporations use statistical sampling to compute their medians. Now a new poll of 375 corporate power suits shows execs are kvetching that, determining the best sampling approach "will be no easy task." The SEC will accept public comment on the new proposed ratio disclosure rules through December 2. What every billionaire now seems to not-so-secretly desire: A little place in Italy's Tuscany. Over the past eight months alone, four Tuscan vineyards have sold for between $34 million and $48 million.

I think they're trying to say On your marks......Get set........GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO RV

Ok, thanks for the lesson in bonds. I misunderstood. I want less money supply, that's all. I think that would help us. Thanks again.

Same here Caz Lets face it though not everyone is as fortunate as we have been... that is where we disagree... You say shame on the oppressed people being taken advantage of... I say shame on the preditors that are preying on them and taking advantage of folks without the means or abilities that we have. JMHO

Lol I appreciate the support, I was trying to get him to go research and investigate on his own.

You kinda overlooked the point,It doesnt matter where they worked you could of worked say your job but look at how much this mega company makes and doesnt pass some of the profits down to the folks that got them there.All she did was ask for what she should of been paid in the first place for many years of good service.I guess you would wrather train someone each month over and over again than to pay the loyal employee for good service . Also twolincs if you look at the employee when you hand them your money you will see the register screen maybe and it tells you what your change is.I would love to see you run this register today for being a employee say thats been there 3 days its a high turn over business because they dont give a dam about its employee's.What kind of employee would you end up with when a company does'nt care a human being for one but probably someone who cares like you do. with respect twolincs with respect. What some of these folks dont understand is the cooks look at folks when they order to beat the machine if they see someone laughing at them I for one kept a grease ball that I would get from under the deep fryer thats been there for years and roll a small piece of it up and smash it into the meat once digested you would have a very explosive afternoon on the pot Thanks Again for choosing McDonalds you Idiot Have a Nice Day! did it taste good twolincs? A job is a job no matter the skill level but treat me like a human being for doing it and pay me the correct wage for doing it.especially when the company you work for makes billions notice the sign out front (billions sold) PS dont ever make fun of someone who is making your food. one drop of visine in your drink that the cashier gets is all it takes to have a explosive day at the office. Buwaaaaahaaahaahhaahaha. woot! I love Ya Maggie plus+1

What The... ??? PD41 You Want To Protect The Banksters??? They Need To Be Prosecuted For Their Crimes. UNBELIEVABLE!

What an idiot. I don't feel the least bit sorry for anyone who works at McD's for ten years and can't find a way to learn more skills to be worth more money. You wasted your life, deal with it.

I saved a ton of money at GEICO !!!

looks like we're on a missile headed towards Uranus!!!!

McCain is part of the problem in this country. He thinks he is an elitist. In reality he is a worthless coward.

Chill out "junior member". This "rumors" forum is strictly for entertainment and laughs. The actual news out of Iraq is so "starchy", so "boring". Who doesn't want to sit down in the morning for some laughs with a good, black java and soak in all the "intel" of dinar brother Tony the almighty. By the way....get yourself a cool avatar like Brisco too.

This is what all of us (DVians) are hoping will happen! We wanted it to happen years ago, but there always seems to be delays. Teasers like this one are constantly hitting the news and pushing for a revaluation. They know it is needed for the Iraqi people and for the economy. Now, it they can only get over the obstacles, it can become a reality. Push, push, push!

What a crock of a response...truly a politicians response...."beneath him"??? Yeah, that is where they view all Americans...beneath them!!! It's time to get folks in office who will answer to the people...not to Washington!!!

Then U Must Be Doing It Wrong !

Oh possum my dear one, It's been awhile, where have you been? Big-chested ladies...just...not quite...my cup of tea. But who knows? If I drink what you drink until Monday. I may have a different view.

Ok I know its Halloween so which one of you dressed up as Adam and entered the House of Torment (Rumors)? I notice there were no words spoken, just 2 thumbs........bloody at that

A pastor of a church had taken some time off to go and visit his relatives in another city some distance away. While he was driving along the road late in the evening, he could barely see an old man leaning on what looked like a staff. He felt compassion for the old man and stopped to offer him a ride. the old man excepted and got in, and he sat there in silence with his head slightly bent looking down. The pastor ask him if something was the matter and when the old man looked up he had tears in his eyes and said, "Son do you know what happened in Heaven last night". The pastor was a little concerned that he had picked up a man with a mental condition and become a little terrified of what he might do. He ask the old man what happened in Heaven just trying to make conversation. The old man said, "last night in heaven, God became very angry with man and asked the angels to sound the last trumpet. The angels looked at one another and rushed to pick up their trumpets and as they were about to blow when Jesus fell down to plead in tears. The blood again flowed from his hands and feet in front of his father. He told his father that his death should not be in vein. God couldn't stand to see his son hurt like that over the wickedness of mankind. God told his son that this is their last chance to make things right and cut out the wicked evil that they do everyday when they think no one will see. Jesus immediately turned to the angels and said lay down your trumpets and go down to earth and try again to warn them of this message: The end of life is coming to a close and I am coming to take with me all who has their name in the Book Of Life. the pastor was sweating and trimbling and ask the old man how he knew all of this. The old man looked at him and told him that he was one of the angels sent down to bring the message. Then he told the pastor to let him out he had others to warn. The pastor stopped let the old man out and turned to wave at him when he drove off and the old man was gone.....Do you believe in angelic beings. Do you believe Jesus is the saviour and wants no one to perish. Many accounts all over the world has happened like this. Are you ready, will you be one left here.

PR/2013/8 24 October 2013 PRESS RELEASE UNITED NATIONS COMPENSATION COMMISSION PAYS OUT US$1.24 BILLION Today, the United Nations Compensation Commission made available $1.24 billion to the Government of the State of Kuwait towards the Commission’s remaining claim with an outstanding award balance. The United Nations Compensation Commission was established in 1991 in accordance with Security Council resolutions 687 (1991) and 692 (1991) to process claims and pay compensation for losses and damages incurred by individuals, corporations, Governments and international organizations as a direct result of Iraq’s invasion and occupation of Kuwait (2 August 1990 to 2 March 1991). The Commission received approximately 2.7 million claims and concluded its review of all claims in 2005. Approximately $52.4 billion was awarded to over 100 Governments and international organizations for distribution to 1.5 million claims in all claim categories. Successful claims are paid from the United Nations Compensation Fund which receives five per cent of the proceeds generated by the export sales of Iraqi petroleum and petroleum products in accordance with Security Council resolution 1483 (2003), and reaffirmed in a number of subsequent resolutions, most recently under Security Council resolution 1956 (2010). Pursuant to Governing Council decision 267 (2009), payments are made on a quarterly basis utilising all available funds in the Compensation Fund. With today’s payment, the Commission has paid out $43.5 billion, leaving approximately $8.9 billion remaining to be paid to the only outstanding claim. This category E claim was submitted by the Government of the State of Kuwait on behalf of the Kuwait Petroleum Corporation and awarded $14.7 billion in 2000 for oil production and sales losses as a result of damages to Kuwait’s oil field assets. It represents the largest award by the Commission. Further information about the Commission, including the text of Governing Council decisions, can be found on the United Nations Compensation Commission website located at www.uncc.ch. As I have stated before....IMO...Chapter 7 has not been complete remove with Iraq....you only get the title when it Stamp Paid in Full....

one more.... Roberta Flack and Donny Hathaway - The Closer I Get To You these guys were magic together

Actually, he was posting under the name, "Mound of Shet" [say it real fast!]

I believe Adam stated that he plans on leaving DV open. I'm sure he will stop by from time to time but will spend the majority of his time (I'm guessing 99.98%) doing post RV activities in the VIP arena. Yeah, it is "exclusivity in action". If you only knew the difference of what VIP/OSI has to offer .... it is very exclusive. In the IQD world, it's like having a key to the Playboy Mansion. If you into that sort of thing. Sorry TXGranny! It's like having Granny's secret, secret banana pudding recipe or Like having a two hour head start on all of the Black Friday holiday shoppers! or like being in the company of some of the best like minded folks around. 90% of DV is free but 90% of the good stuff (what it takes to keep what we have come soooooo far to get) is in VIP/OSI.

Why would you imply if ones bad their all bad? Is it not just to defend the actions of the one who has proven over and again the truth is not in him? If a lion eats raw meat, wouldn’t your reasoning be the same as an attempt to convince the rest of us that a rabbit eats raw meat too? I don’t think anyone on this site is unaware of your loyalty to the president and his agenda. The patriots of this country are proudly the direct enemy to your man and his plans. It is a result of the socialist movement he leads branding them as such. The patriots are supporting a system that allows us to be free without the intrusion of the government minutely controlling every aspect of our country and it’s markets. If he were as omnipotent as you guys think he is, don’t you think the young pregnant woman would have been healed just from being in his presence? His statement after he turned back to the media was “This is what happens when I speak too long”. That is probably the closest statement of the truth I have ever heard from him, I get ill almost every time I hear him speak.

I like this format but would not like it if you quit visiting us completely. We like you as person too, not just as a source of information.

"Do you believe Jesus is the saviour and wants no one to perish?" Yes I do, thank you very much.

unfortunatly your WRONG, the dollar is back by debt. oh and just so you know "the federal reserve " is not federal. it is a private entity.
