It would be awesome if you worked on your comprehension skills. And I said two YEARS before I joined. So I'm not sure I understand where you are going with that. My point is that for the ones complaining and being rude are the same ones that have absolutely no investment in the Dinars and desire nothing more but to stir things up or defend the pumpers. Nothing but trolls. Do you actually have a problem with the veterans warning others about the BS-ers and pumpers? If so, you are the one coming off as having an ulterior motive. If you don't like people getting warned, and you don't trust anyone and not even Adam, why do you care to log into this site at all? Why waste your time? SO TO CLARIFY, there is absolutely nothing wrong if someone is not a V.I.P. etc. But there IS something wrong when someone makes a comment like the one I was directing that comment towards. Which is this one: Jaygo, on 07 Nov 2014 - 3:20 PM, said: Rude. Trollish. Irrational. Crazy. Biased. So yea I would require him to at minimum prove he even holds Dinar before attempting to answer my original question, "Who does anyone trust as a guru?" Duh. #DoYouEvenDinar?

ISIS chief ‘critically wounded’ in air raid: reports Anbar province MP Mohammad al-Karbuli says U.S.-led coalition aircraft targeted a gathering of ISIS leaders in al-Qaim. (File Photo: AFP) By Staff writer | Al Arabiya NewsSaturday, 8 November 2014 The leader of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, was “critically wounded” on Saturday when a U.S.-led air strike targeted the western Iraqi border town of al-Qaim, tribal sources told Al Arabiya News Channel. The tribal sources also said that a number of ISIS’ senior members were killed in the air raid. Anbar province MP Mohammad al-Karbuli told Al Arabiya News Channel that U.S.-led coalition aircraft had targeted a gathering of ISIS leaders in al-Qaim that led to the killing of tens of people and wounded. Karbuli said chaos ensued the air raid with ISIS members scrambling to transport their wounded to al-Qaim hospital which was overwhelmed with the number of patients. Reuters news agency quoted two witnesses as saying an air strike targeted a house where senior ISIS officers were meeting, near the western Iraqi border town of al-Qaim. The witnesses said ISIS fighters had cleared a hospital so that their wounded could be treated. ISIS fighters used loudspeakers to urge residents to donate blood, the witnesses said. The agency also quoted residents as saying there were unconfirmed reports that ISIS’ local leader in the western Iraqi province of Anbar and his deputy were killed. U.S. officials would not confirm or deny whether Baghdadi, the group's overall leader, had been targeted, the agency said. http://english.alarabiya.net/en/News/middle-east/2014/11/08/Reports-ISIS-leader-critically-wounded-in-air-strike.htm

Renfrow / District Judge Murguia Kansas City Courtroom 463 (CM) Status Conference

REPORT: US-Led Airstrikes Just Targeted A High-Level ISIS Convoy Michael Georgy, Reuters 51 minutes ago BAGHDAD (Reuters) - U.S.-led air strikes have targeted a gathering of Islamic State leaders in Iraq in a town near the Syrian border, possibly including the group's top commander Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, Al-Hadath television channel said on Saturday. Iraqi security officials were not immediately available for comment on the report from the station, part of Saudi-owned al-Arabiya television, but two witnesses told Reuters an air strike targeted a house where senior Islamic State officers were meeting, near the western Iraqi border town of al-Qaim. They said Islamic State fighters had evacuated a hospital so that their wounded could be treated. Residents said there were unconfirmed reports that Islamic State's local leader in the western Iraqi province of Anbar and his deputy were killed. U.S. officials would not confirm or deny if Baghdadi, the group's overall leader, had been targeted. One U.S. official said that air strikes were carried out against a convoy near the northern city of Mosul and against small Islamic State units elsewhere, but the U.S.-led air strikes had not targeted an Islamic State gathering. Al-Hadath said dozens of people were killed and wounded in the strike, which it said took place in al-Qaim, and that Baghdadi's fate was unclear. Al-Qaim and its neighboring Syrian counterpart Albukamal are on a strategic supply route. The report came hours after car bombs killed 20 people, including five soldiers, in the Iraqi capital and the city of Ramadi to the west on Saturday, police and medical sources said, in attacks that resembled operations carried out by Islamic State militants. Two bombs exploded in separate attacks in Baghdad's mainly Shi'ite Amil district, said a police source. "A driver parked his car and went to a cigarette stall, then he disappeared. Then his car blew up, killing passers-by," said the police source, describing one of the two attacks in Amil. Reuters Maps locations in Syria and Iraq where the U.S.-led coalition has conducted air strikes against Islamic State targets, includes chart of air strikes by day. In the mostly Shi'ite al-Amin area of Baghdad, another car bomb killed eight people, medical sources said. The attack by a suicide bomber on a checkpoint in Ramadi in western Anbarprovince killed five soldiers. “Before the explosion, the checkpoint was targeted with several mortar rounds. Then the suicide humvee bomber attacked it," said a police official. "Some troops came to the scene. They were attacked by mortars. A confrontation took place for one hour." There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the bombings. The ultra-hardline Sunni Islamic State's drive to create a caliphate in Iraq has helped return sectarian violence to the dark days of 2006-2007, the peak of a civil war. In the town of Baquba, 65 km (40 miles) northeast of Baghdad, a gunman killed a Shi'itemilitiaman, and a car bomb targeting a police officer killed his 10-year-old son, security sources said. Western and Iraqi officials say U.S.-led air strikes are not enough to defeat the al Qaeda offshoot, which holds parts of Iraq and Syria and is fighting to expand what it calls a caliphate. Iraq must improve the performance of its army and security forces in order to eliminate the threat from the group, which wants to redraw the map of the Middle East, the officials say. President Barack Obama has approved sending up to 1,500 more troops to Iraq, roughly doubling the number of U.S. forces on the ground, to advise and retrain Iraqis in their battle against Islamic State. The Iraqi prime minister's media office said the additional U.S. trainers were welcome but the move came late, state television reported. The United States spent $25 billion on the Iraqi military during the U.S. occupation that toppled Saddam Hussein in 2003, and triggered an insurgency that included al Qaeda. Washington wants Iraq's Shi'ite-led government to revive an alliance with Sunni tribesmen inAnbar province which helped U.S. Marines defeat al Qaeda. Such an alliance would face a more formidable enemy in Islamic State, which has more firepower and funding. Police Colonel Shaaban Barazan al-Ubaidi, commander of a rapid reaction force in Anbar, said security forces retook eight villages. His account could not be immediately confirmed.

Here you go, for all you Mtn.Goat followers....her latest diatribe. There is some worthwhile info here, but just eat the meat & spit out the bones. Please don't shoot the messenger. Have a great weekend & be Blessed..! RON Mnt Goat Friday Update - 11/7/2014 - “It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas!” - Part1 UU8677 - “It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas!” by Mnt Goat Hi Everyone, In Germany we have many favorite times for celebration. As you know one of the favorites was the Oktoberfest this fall. It was once again a lovely time this year. The opening day parade was spectacular and the beer……oh boy !!!! So now we look forward to yet another great German tradition. This event is focused around the Christmas spirit. It is coming soon and it is called Christkindlesmarkt. Do you know what this is? This period goes way back to 1400’s when it was traditional to give children gifts onDecember 6th , St. Nicolas’s Day. So you know Meine Kinger luv it. Since then it had progressed into the squares and platz in Germany to become a delightful tradition. The enticing smells of mulled wine and rum punch, roasted almonds, gingerbread and (of course) bratwurst…. lol…..fill the air. And it’s not only tiny tots who will have their eyes all a-glow as the Christkind will open the holiday season. This all happens the Friday before the first Sunday in Advent is the day it all begins. This is the official start of the Christmas holiday season in Germany. We are making plans now to hop on the train and head up to Nuremberg for a few days. Here we will visit the world-famous Nuremberg Christkindlesmarkt. This has become an annual holiday tradition for our family. Miene Kinder can hardly wait but I too along with Meine Hubby also enjoy being outdoors at night, sipping mulled wine and seeing all the lights and smells. It is a wonderful time of the year. Wish you all could join us this year ! But the real reason why I come to you today is to share my recent findings and give you an update on the progress of the economic reforms project and how this relates towards the international rollout of the IQD for Iraq. Today's news letter, as in all my news letters, is a continuation of the ongoing saga of the IQD RV process. Please refer back to my last news letter of 10/29 as this news letter is a continuation of this news. Today’s News Today is Friday 11/7 and Iraqi is making great progress in their new government. As I said previously the major items now of emphasis for Iraq government are: 1) expose the past 8 years of corruption and weed out those responsible for the corruption; (we see Maliki is about to face his maker…..lol….) 2) defeat ISIS and secure Iraq (build up the provincial and national security forces); 3) complete the economic reforms. I will talk about this last item mostly today since you are hearing so much more about the other two items lately in the general news media. What - no budget on the agenda? I have to say this 2014 budget issue is a done deal. I have already told you in a previous news letter how Iraq intends to use the 2014 budget. They are not going to formally announce a voting on the budget since much of the detailed project are being rolled over to 2015. Much of the intended money has been stolen and they are not going to brag about internal corruption from the Maliki administration. It would only be egg on their faces to since they allowed it to happen. What money they have left (after Maliki raped the coffers now over 150 billion) they are using along with supplemental loans. Approx 80% of it is being used to fund the fighting with ISIS with the hope they will get continued military hardware, logistical and air support from the alliance forces. The other 20% is for domestic spending on critical functions to run the government. They do not want to resort to any more short term loans but they will resort to this step if necessary. Kuwait banks have offered funding and well as the IMF. So why don’t they just RV and get all the money they need? If it was so simple don’t you think they would have done the RV already? If they are not careful in how they reinstate their currency the process could blow up in their faces and make them worst off. For instance we see them slowly rolling out reprinted, newer currency with even more up to date security features. These are more of the 3 zero notes. We all wonder why they are doing this. It seems counter productive since didn’t they just got through a massive program to collect as much 3 zero notes as possible? Is this not a deviation from their plan? Do they intend to prolong this RV forever? Absolutely not ! The CBI is doing this so when they recall the last of the 3 zero notes there will be a deadline to switch them over for the lower demons. This is much like they did when they switched over from the old Saddam Hussein notes. Remember they are just not going to give out FREE money to anyone. The citizens must come to the bank and switch out their present currency. After a said deadline (to be determined) the older, original 3 zero notes will no longer be legal currency in Iraq. Note I said “in Iraq” so don’t worry about the ones we hold as investors outside of Iraq. I will explain how they intend to handle these notes. Why is the CBI being so fussy in rolling out the newer, more secure 3 zero notes? They are doing this since they will be still using these 3 zero notes going forward for inter- banking and international transactions. They need the larger notes for these very, very large transactions in the future between countries. They actually never go away altogether. They must break this counterfeiting that is happening first. It is killing their economy and is a terrorist liability. The average citizen however will not use them but if they had a couple (of the newer 3 zero notes) they would actually be legal tender but just not allowed on the streets and rejected by the banks after the said deadline. So imagine if you were counterfeiting the dinar or had a large stash of maybe trillions of the original , older 3 zero notes. Now they are no longer legal tender to anyone. What would you do with them? Well in the Middle East you may as well throw them away after the deadline. Anyone with very large stashes will be caught at the banks trying to exchange them since this is the only place you could switch them over to the newer, more secure 3 zero notes. This is kind of like a trap for terrorists and counterfeitting rings they are setting who now have very large stashes (i.e. ISIS). This is also a well planned effort to flush out or disarm these dinar counterfeiting rings (much of which is coming from Iran). They must get this counterfeit currency under control prior to any RV. They must disarm any large stashes of dinar that can be used against Iraq by the terrorists. So far they have kept this effort in the background and I am not exposing anything that will hurt their effort since they are so far into the process already. Also I want to remind you that all of our 3 zero notes that we now hold are also the older, original 3 zero notes. The CBI must collect these too and get them off the streets of foreign countries too or someday they might end up back in the Middle East in the hands of terrorists. They must do it very quickly once the RV rollout happens. They can’t do it now since we are not going to let go of our dinars without some incentive (like a revalued rate?). Can you now see why? I know for a fact there already have been many exchanges within the USA in this matter. I will not talk about the legality of these transactions since the IQD has not officially already revalued - or has it? Some say it is perfectly legal since last spring Maliki did in fact officially reinstate his currency while he was still in power as the prime minister. Some also say he had no power to do it since only the CBI has control over the currency. Yes the GOI must approve any recommendation by the CBI (as an agreed to courtesy) but the official power lays within the CBI. Will the IQD we hold outside of Iraq, be legal tender in Iraq? Actually after the RV if these older notes are brought back into Iraq from the EU or USA countries the answer is emphatically a big fat - NO! Airport security will probably confiscate them. The older, original IQD will only be legal tender outside of Iraq. This “legal immunity” will only last for a period of time before suspicions will arise if you try to exchange any very large quantity of this older currency. Many terrorist questions will arise at this time at the bank and you probably will be faced with Homeland security issues. So my advice is don’t wait in conducting your exchange when the time happens. ************************************** Mnt Goat Friday Update - 11/7/2014 - “It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas!” - Part 2 Will there be a time limit to exchange post RV? No-but like I said if you go beyond a “reasonable timeframe” AND you have a very large quantity then many terrorist questions will arise at this time at the bank and you probably will be faced with Homeland security issues. So my advice is don’t wait in conducting your exchange when the time happens. So if you were to hoard a few of these older 3 zero notes (turn in the rest under the exchange) and then in the future take a vacation trip to Iraq, thinking you could bring them and spend these notes and live high off the hog.,,,,, think again ! Actually in the near future they will be illegal tender in Iraq and you might even get arrested for having them since you might be suspected of being a terrorist. You would have had to intentionally smuggled them into Iraq first of all and this alone is not good. So don’t do it. Just exchange all of them in your country of origin and get rid of them. If you are planning a trip to Iraq get the newer, lower denomination notes from the bank as you would any other country when going on vacation. What about these new coins? How do they effect the RV rollout? The committee on the economy and investment in the Iraqi Council of Representatives, revealed on Thursday 11/6, by saying that "the central bank completed its preparations for the issuance of metal coins of seven small groups." Said committee member Rep., Nora my neighbor, L / Iraq Press / that "the Central Bank and in conjunction with the implementation of the project to delete the three zeroes from the paper currency currently in circulation, will issue metal coins from multiple categories to overcome the economic crisis, which may get a peer process of deletion of zeros," adding that "the launch of coins project will take between four to five years and will be the launch of which categories of small coins gradually." So after reading this article above it is telling us they intend also to use the coins to supplement the paper currency along with the newer paper lower denoms they are about to issue to the general public. Also the coins will supplement the larger 3 zero notes too since there is a $10,000 coins. So you see we get back to the same theme. That of deleting the older, original 3 zero notes out of circulation from their paper currency inventory and to do it on conjunction with a revaluation of some kind. They must secure these 3 zero notes for the future international inter-banking transactions first. This was the plan all along to use them. Now how can they complete this effort of deletion of the zeros unless they also collect our currency (the older, original notes) from outside of Iraq? There is a risk that someday terrorists can use this older, original currency we have but only outside of Iraq since it will be worthless inside Iraq. So they will want to collect as much of our dinar as possible once the RV happens…and do it quickly. Maybe we were never intended to own such quantities of this currency as average citizens outside of Iraq. It all could have been stopped, blocked very easily through customs and it was not. The serge of dinar holders increased dramatically over the last 4 years outside of Iraq but still the average dinar holder has less than a million dinar. There is a reason why they (meaning country you live in) are letting you possess this currency. Two of these reasons I will explain. 1)countries like the USA and China will get oil credits from Iraq (discounted oil prices) for turning in these older, original notes as a bonus for assisting in collecting them for the CBI. This arrangement was made in 2008-2009. 2)many countries all over the world have been seeded with the Iraq dinar as part of their reserve currency portfolio. When the value increases so does the value of their reserves, thus so may the value of their currency. This is plan part of the Global Financial Reform (GFR) an IMF term for a plan to reform and standardize the financial structure and banking practices between nations. There is no such thing as a Global Currency Reform (GCR). This term was misunderstood many years ago by these know it all “gurus”. Thus the rumors began. The hope is that these measures will prevent one country (or a few countries) from taking down the world’s economy. The plan is to eventually district the planet into financial zones so when financial downturns occur the impact will be limited to that district or zone that caused it. It is like damage control versus prevention. You see, what was so bad about the 2008 collapse (and why it is taking so long to rebound) is because it was so wide spread and effected almost ever financial and monetary sector on the planet. Every country was so interconnected financially in the markets and financial products. By seeding Iraq dinar in many of the hurting countries it was hoped they can kick start the economies of these countries when the revaluation happens. Still the IQD revaluation is only a band-aid not a permanent fix. Some are saying a slow revaluation of the IQD would be best and putting the currency on a free market float. Others say that they need a sudden and quick high rate (reinstatement plus 20% equity). I believe it will be a bit of both when it happens. I am saying this because this is what I have been told when I asked my CBI contact. Summary So today I send you an update of the latest news I am hearing. It is just where we want to be at this time. In fact there is an excellent window of opportunity to see the RV in the coming days, not weeks. As I have said in my previous news letter, we are in a sweet spot right now to literally see this RV in the coming days ahead. This is by far the best place I have ever seen this investment in the 10 years I have been following it. I hope I helped you understand why the CBI is taking such a long time in rolling out this RV. I have had many long conversations with my CBI contact since my last news letter and he talked about some of the programs they have instituted to assist in fighting current and future counterfeiting and financial corruption. He also gave me some insight as to collecting the older, original 3 zero notes and why it is imperative to get them too out of circulation and do it quickly once the RV happens. I see that we have passed the Oct 31st target for completion of this RV process as I am hearing now the new target is the mid Nov timeframe. This is only about a week away and so I would not worry. Even if they make us wait till early 2015, it is all still worth the wait. I feel like a kid looking at my gifts under the Christmas tree with great anticipation of the treat the lays ahead. Then when can we expect the RV? I believe we are in a rare opportunity and window like never before. In the coming days we should expect the RV. Peace and Luv To Ya All, Mnt Goat I tried to delete the Chatter in the beginning of the letter, but it wouldn't let me...Sorry...! RON

The private sector contributes to increase the value of the dinar 6/11/2014 0:00 BAGHDAD Mustafa al-Hashemi, many wonder about the reasons for not rising purchasing power of the dinar years ago and so far, despite having a good cover of gold and foreign currency as well as high-oil exports as well as improve its exchange rate against the dollar, when the continued improvement in the exchange rate with the salary increase Fsnsal to the stage does not commensurate with the productivity of the economy calls for the support of the private sector and grant privileges equivalent to the public sector privileges in terms of the wage rate. In this context, sees economic academic Dr. Majid Baidhani importance of finding a balance between this equation by increasing the productivity of the individual to achieve the increase in incomes, explaining that the productivity of the individual factor comes through the activation and projects of the private sector in productive sectors such as agriculture and Alsnaah.oadav told (morning): It is necessary to achieve financial revenues through the creation of jobs and employment opportunities in the private sector and make it a par with government employees privileges that contribute significantly to the revival of the booming economy , having to rely on the oil industry to activate those opportunities.

Thanks RAZUR (+1)...you're too much...! ........

Go Dinar or something. Moving on...

This is wavering a bit off Kobane.... its almost like we need several threads... Daesh (ISIS) Turkey and Humanitarian Crises (Kobane and Mt Sinjar)... to keep things straight.... Kobane continues to hold ground and in some reports they are re-claiming lost ground. When you look at the latest maps, they are still surrouded by Daesh (ISIS) controlled areas. They have managed to hold onto the gate to Turkey, despite intense battles to take it. The YPG does daily updates and I'll try to get them in a format to put in here... Air Strikes continue though not at the frequency they were last month. Mt Sinjar (Yezidi) is still surrounded by Daesh (ISIS). YPG and Peshmerga are there fighting to push them back. There is still no corridor of safety for the Yezidis to escape from the mountain. People continue to die from lack of water, and food. With winter coming and snow with it, it is feared that many will eventually freeze to death. Its unclear why the US in their campaign to eliminate Daesh (ISIS) is not throwing a boatload of helll from the air and simply ending this... Turkey is continuing to play out the insantiy of their crazed President Erdogan. Here is the latest effort to have him disposed of by international effort: Petition calls for arrest of Turkey’s president Saturday, November 8, 2014 Turkey's President, Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Australians for Kurdistan began this petition on Change.org. It asks the Australian federal attorney-general to arrest Turkey's President, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, when he visits Brisbane for the G20 summit on November 15. It also asks the attorney-general to remove the Kurdistan Workers Party from the list of terrorist organisations. To sign the petition go to www.change.org. * * * Be Alert, Be Alarmed! The godfather of ISIS is being welcomed by the Australian government! Australian federal Attorney-General The Australian government has recently bolstered “Anti-terror” laws and got involved in a new Middle East military adventure in the name of fighting the Syria and Iraq-based terror gang ISIS. It cannot be denied that ISIS is a truly monstrous organisation. Their own propaganda features mass executions of civilians and prisoners of war, including those who surrendered without firing a shot, along with crucifixions and decapitations. Severed heads are a recurring motif in their prolific social media output. In August, after they attacked communities belonging to the Yezidi and Christian minorities in the vicinity of Mt Sinjar, Iraq, they openly boasted not only of their slaughter of thousands of civilians, but of enslaving thousands of women and children, some of whom were sold in public markets for slavery and sexual exploitation. The Australian government declared it had to act. However, it was not Western forces who rescued the survivors in the Sinjar area. It was the forces of the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) and their Syrian allies, the Peoples Defence Units (YPG) and Women’s Defence Units (YPJ), forces that continue to defend Sinjar from ISIS attacks until this day. Appallingly, the PKK is listed as a terrorist organisation under Australian “Anti-terror” laws! This is at the behest of the Turkish state that has denied Kurdish people basic rights since its creation in the 1920s. In its efforts to crush the PKK and Kurdish aspirations for self-determination, the Turkish state has killed at least 40,000 people since the 1980s. In Syrian Kurdistan (Rojava), in the midst of a multi-sided war in which the various sides seem to compete with each other in human rights abuses and large-scale violence, the Kurdish organisations including the YPG and YPG have created an island of hope: a unique experiment in democratic community self-management characterised by gender equality, ethnic inclusivity and religious tolerance. Terrified by the example this sets, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has used the sadistic ISIS gangs in an attempt to drown it in blood. The world’s attention has become focused on the heroic, besieged town of Kobane. This border town is besieged on three sides by ISIS. The fourth side of siege is maintained by the Turkish state. Moreover, the Erdogan regime has actively assisted ISIS! This assistance includes: • Trading with ISIS in stolen Syrian and Iraqi oil; • Allowing ISIS to use Turkey as a rear base; • Allowing foreign recruits to ISIS to pass unhindered through Turkish territory; • Treating wounded ISIS terrorists in Turkish hospitals and allowing them to return to the battlefield; and • Providing ISIS with heavy weapons and logistical support. This large-scale Turkish state support does incomparably more to enable ISIS violence than alleged small donations by supporters that have been the pretext for massive anti-terror raids in Australia. Yet, even while the threat of terrorism is invoked to severely limit the civil liberties of residents and civil society activists during the Brisbane G20 Summit, the Australian government is welcoming Recep Tayyip Erdogan to the summit with open arms! We therefore demand: • The arrest of Recep Tayyip Erdogan for supporting terrorism as soon as he sets foot on Australian soil; and • The immediate end to listing the PKK as a terrorist organisation under Australian law. Sincerely, [Your name] Cyprus accuses Turkey of ‘provocative actions’ in Med President says Turkey’s search for oil and gas near the island hinders peace talks, compromises regional security November 8, 2014, 4:39 pm Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah al-Sissi ©, Cyprus' President Nicos Anastasiades (L) and Greek Prime Minister Antonis Samaras shake hands during a press conference following a meeting in Cairo on November 8, 2014. (Photo credit: AFP/Khaled Desouki) Cypriot President Nicos Anastasiades on Saturday accused Turkey of “provocative actions” that he said are hindering the island’s peace talks and compromising security in the eastern Mediterranean. Last month Cyprus suspended its participation in UN-led peace talks with Turkey amid tensions over Ankara’s determination to search for oil and gas in the same region where the Cypriot government has licensed exploratory drills in an exclusive economic zone. “Turkey’s provocative actions do not just compromise the peace talks, but also affect security in the eastern Mediterranean region,” Anastasiades said during a visit to Cairo. “For the (peace) negotiations to succeed Turkey needs to show positive intention and adopt a constructive stance through positive and effective steps in this direction,” he said, according to a translation. The Greek Cypriot leader was speaking at a joint news conference in Cairo with his Egyptian counterpart Abdel Fattah el-Sissi and Greek Prime Minister Antonis Samaras. In a meeting with Anastasiades on Wednesday, Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman condemned Turkey’s exploration, urging each country to respect the sovereign rights of their neighbor, adding that it was “extremely unnecessary” for Turkey to cause friction in a region already mired in conflict. “We respect the integrity of Cyprus. We’re sure that you have your exclusive rights to explore in your economic zone of the gas and oil reserves,” Liberman told reporters after talks with his Cypriot counterpart Ioannis Kasoulides. With Israel finding large reserves of gas close to where Cyprus is drilling, the two countries are looking to cooperate on energy issues such as exporting Israeli gas. Since October 20 a Turkish survey vessel has encroached Cyprus’s exclusive economic zone off the island’s southern coast, according to Nicosia. Ankara had issued a notice that a Turkish seismic vessel would carry out a survey until December 30 in the same area where the Italian-Korean energy consortium ENI-Kogas is operating. Turkish troops invaded and occupied the northern third of Cyprus in 1974 in response to an Athens-engineered coup aimed at uniting it with Greece, and the peace talks are aimed at reunifying the island. Ankara opposes the Cypriot government’s exploitation of offshore energy reserves before a deal is reached to solve the decades-long division of the east Mediterranean island. Anastasiades, Samaras and Sissi were at a summit in Cairo on Saturday to discuss regional security and economic cooperation. Even bland ole run of the mill NewsWeek gets it.... ‘ISIS Sees Turkey as Its Ally': Former Islamic State Member Reveals Turkish Army Cooperation By Barney Guiton Filed: 11/7/14 at 10:35 AM | Updated: 11/8/14 at 11:28 AM Smoke rises from the Syrian town of Kobane, Turkish army tanks take position on the Turkish side of the border, October 8, 2014. Umit Bektas/Reuters Filed Under: World, Kurds, ISIS, Islamic State, Turkey, Kobane A former member of ISIS has revealed the extent to which the cooperation of the Turkish military allows the terrorist group, who now control large parts of Iraq and Syria, to travel through Turkish territory to reinforce fighters battling Kurdish forces. A reluctant former communications technician working for Islamic State, now going by the pseudonym ‘Sherko Omer’, who managed to escape the group, told Newsweek that he travelled in a convoy of trucks as part of an ISIS unit from their stronghold in Raqqa, across Turkish border, through Turkey and then back across the border to attack Syrian Kurds in the city of Serekaniye in northern Syria in February. “ISIS commanders told us to fear nothing at all because there was full cooperation with the Turks,” said Omer of crossing the border into Turkey, “and they reassured us that nothing will happen, especially when that is how they regularly travel from Raqqa and Aleppo to the Kurdish areas further northeast of Syria because it was impossible to travel through Syria as YPG [National Army of Syrian Kurdistan] controlled most parts of the Kurdish region.” Newsweek Magazine is Back In Print Until last month, NATO member Turkey had blocked Kurdish fighters from crossing the border into Syria to aid their Syrian counterparts in defending the border town of Kobane. Speaking to Newsweek, Kurds in Kobane said that people attempting to carry supplies across the border were often shot at. YPG spokesman Polat Can went even further, saying that Turkish forces were actively aiding ISIS. “There is more than enough evidence with us now proving that the Turkish army gives ISIS terrorists weapons, ammunitions and allows them to cross the Turkish official border crossings in order for ISIS terrorists to initiate inhumane attacks against the Kurdish people in Rojava [north-eastern Syria].” Omer explained that during his time with ISIS, Turkey had been seen as an ally against the Kurds. “ISIS saw the Turkish army as its ally especially when it came to attacking the Kurds in Syria. The Kurds were the common enemy for both ISIS and Turkey. Also, ISIS had to be a Turkish ally because only through Turkey they were able to deploy ISIS fighters to northern parts of the Kurdish cities and towns in Syria.” “ISIS and Turkey cooperate together on the ground on the basis that they have a common enemy to destroy, the Kurds,” he added. While Newsweek was not able to independently verify Omer’s testimony, anecdotal evidence of Turkish forces turning a blind eye to ISIS activity has been mounting over the past month. Omer, the son of a successful businessman in Iraqi Kurdistan, initially went to Syria to join the Free Syrian Army’s fight against Bashar al-Assad, but found himself sucked in to ISIS, unable to leave. He was given a job as a communication technician, and worked at the ISIS communications bureau in Raqqa. “I have connected ISIS field captains and commanders from Syria with people in Turkey on innumerable occasions,” said Omer. “I rarely heard them speak in Arabic, and that was only when they talked to their own recruiters, otherwise, they mostly spoke in Turkish because the people they talked to were Turkish officials of some sorts because ISIS guys used to be very serious when they talked to them.” Omer was then transferred to a battalion travelling to fight Kurdish forces in Serekaniya, north-eastern Syria, and describes travelling through Turkey in a convoy of trucks, staying at safehouses along the way, before crossing back into Syria at the Ceylanpinar border crossing. Before crossing the border back into Syria, he says: “My ISIS commander reassured us once again that it was all going to be all right because cooperation had been made with the Turks. He frequently talked on the radio in Turkish.” “While we tried to cross the Ceylanpinar border post, the Turkish soldiers' watchtower light spotted us. The commander quickly told us to stay calm, stay in position and not to look at the light. He talked on the radio in Turkish again and we stayed in our positions. Watchtower light then moved about 10 minutes later and the commander ordered us to move because the watchtower light moving away from us was the signal that we could safely cross the border into Serekaniye." Once in Serekaniye, Omer says he surrendered to Kurdish forces when they attacked his camp. He was held for several months before his captors were convinced that he had not been a fighter in ISIS and had not taken part in violence.

Actually, Reagan almost didn't get the cons nomination. Was a big issue with VP. Reagan declared he would not allow a standing member of the CFR to be 2nd in command. Then, had to agree for GOP nomination. Just a couple weeks after election they tried to assassinate him. Most everyone knew the moron with Jody Foster worship didn't act alone or without help. That's why he was declared insane immediately and sent to posh institution. He was getting weekend furloughs and allowed to go home on weekends before Reagan was even out of office. Reagan did lots of constitutional videos, he knew he couldn't save America alone, he needed Americans to help, which they didn't. America let Reagan down, he had no choice to comply with some globalist demands, or he would wake up dead. If Ben gets elected, he can only be the point man for the commoners revolution. He will not be able to do it alone either.

The ISX is an indicator for me because it follows in certain aspects and leads in others. In this case, the ISX is operating as usual and makes it daily reports. However, I am noticing that the Iraqi Investor appears keener to capitalizing off of market happenings than before the update. I am watching a couple of plays and the traditional plays that I would expect due to people “not knowing” or “speculating” have not occurred. This leads me to believe that the system is providing increased knowledge disbursement or Brokers are knowledgeable of an impending change for the better. I also note that the ESX was said to launch this November. What is interesting, is the delays in reporting should not be occurring since they have tested, retested, and tested the system for months and Sundays now. Remember, this is NOT a New SYSTEM, it is simply a new Platform for Iraq. Which NASDAQ has updated for their other member countries time and time again. Remember, the ISX was already running a previous Nasdaq System. So… all I can say is that I am expecting something good to come out of this because the lack of news about the new system, the lack of PR for international clients, the impending launch from the ESX in the next thirty days… all implies something is up. What is also interesting, why is the ESX waiting to announce their upcoming IPO’s for their market opening??? My best guess, is that the ISX/ESX is preparing for a BIG BOOM to coincide with another BIG BOOM. I’m not worried one bit, they are up to something and I’m calling it good!

Bear market might not be quite done yet, says this comparison with previous bears... The SELL-OFF in precious metals intensified over the past week, writes Jordan Roy-Byrne at TheDailyGold. Junior gold miner stock index GDXJ declined 25% in seven days while gold bullion plunged below $1180 to $1140 per ounce. Silver plunged below $16 to as low as $15.20. So precious metals are becoming extremely oversold and the bear market is clearly in the 9th inning. Be on alert for a snapback rally to repair the extreme oversold conditions. Although we are likely very close to the bottom in the miners, gold's current position continues to leave me skeptical. Below is the updated bear analog for gold which uses weekly data. Gold has yet to suffer the extreme selling experienced by silver and the mining stocks. It makes sense given that gold peaked months after those assets in 2011. The chart illustrates how bear markets are a function of price and time. The most severe bears in price are the shortest in time while the longest bears in terms of time are the least severe in terms of price. This bear falls in between. Given that gold went 10 years without a real bear market it makes sense that this bear could bottom very close to the 1983-1985 and 1975-1976 bears but will have lasted quite a bit longer. With respect to gold, another point to consider is the strong supports at $1080 per ounce (50% retracement of the bull market) as well as $1000 per ounce. These downside targets continue to align well with the history depicted in the bear analog chart. Moreover, the fact that gold currently sits well above these support levels is reason to expect more downside. Silver on the other hand figures not to have the same degree of downside. Silver's bear began five months before gold's and the bear analog below makes a strong case that the current bear will end very soon. Other than the epic collapse from 1980-1982, the current bear is the worst ever for silver in terms of price and is the third worst in terms of time. Similar to silver, the mining stocks which led the bear market are moving from very oversold to extremely oversold. The HUI Gold Bugs Index shown below closed Wednesday at an 11-year low. As far as the HUI's distance from its 50 and 200-day moving averages, it is inches from major extremes. Over the past 50 days the HUI has declined 36.4%. That is its second worst performance over the past 20 years. The picture is even worse for the junior mining sector. GDXJ has declined 43% over the past 50 days. It is trading at the lowest level relative to its 50-day moving average since the creation of the ETF. The worst bear market ever for gold mining stocks was the more than four and a half year decline following the junior bubble in 1996. That bear did have a 14-month long respite where the indices rallied as much as much as 70% and 80%. That rally was longer and much larger than the one experienced recently. During the 1996-2000 bear, the GDM index (forerunner to GDX) declined 77.5%. Through Wednesday it was down 76% from its latest top. The XAU declined 72.5% between 1996 and 2000. Through Wednesday it was off 74.2%. The Barron's gold Mining Index declined 75% during the late 1990s bear. Through last week it was down 68%. The mining stocks and silver are obviously extremely oversold and very close to the bottom. It could happen any day or any week. However, I'm skeptical because gold is currently trading so far above its potential bottom. Sure, gold figures to be the last to bottom but my view is the window for a bottom in the stocks could come when gold declines below $1080. That being said, we could definitely see a snapback rally of some sort. The mining stocks and silver are extremely oversold and could pop higher in the short-term. In any event, the bear market is very close to its end. The weeks and months ahead figure to be very enticing and exciting for precious metals traders and investors. Expect quite a bit of volatilty as we see some forced liquidation from longtime bulls and as the sector tries to carve out a major bottom. Opportunities are fast approaching so pay attention. Be patient but be disciplined. As winter beckons, we could be looking at a lifetime buying opportunity. I am working hard to prepare DailyGold subscribers.

Great track.

Aaah Good morning, dinarmite. How does it feel to watch the sunrise, roll out of bed and jump on the Troll-Let's-Bash-a-Stranger-Because-They-Appreciate-Confirmations-Of-Malice Bandwagon?

Perhaps I should jump on the other bandwagon and begin to post the lies as well? Would that make you feel better? LOL #Trolls #MinionCity #CorniestPumperJokeLOL

https://news.vice.com/video/turkeys-border-war-dispatch-1?utm_source=vicenewsyoutube Turkey's Border War (Dispatch 1) October 16, 2014 | 4:18 pm Turkey has closed its border with Syria as Islamic State militants battle Kurdish forces in the Syrian border town of Kobane. Turkish checkpoints and tanks ensure that no one enters or exits the town, while nearby some of the 180,000 refugees who previously fled into Turkey watch helplessly as the fighting unfolds in front of them. VICE News travelled to the Turkish side of the border as US airstrikes hit Islamic State positions in Kobane. As we watched alongside Kurds from both Syria and Turkey, they talked about Turkey's lack of support for the Kurds fighting in Kobane and provided updates on the battle. Life Inside Kurdish Refugee Camps: Turkey's Border War (Dispatch 2) Published on Oct 16, 2014 When Islamic State jihadists launched a major offensive on the majority Kurdish town of Kobane in September, more than 180,000 people fled across the border into Turkey. Local authorities struggled to cope with the influx at first, and thousands of refugees were forced to sleep on the streets of the Turkish border town of Suruc. Now camps are being set up to provide shelter and other assistance. With the borders closed and thousands unable to leave Kobane, VICE News visited one of six refugee camps in the town to find out how refugee families — some sharing tents with up to 14 other people — are coping with leaving their homes and livelihoods behind.

Anti-ISIS coalition bombing terrorist positions in Iraq and Syria LIVE UPDATES Edited time: November 06, 2014 14:07 Get short URL Fighters fire a machinegun against Islamic State positions from a location west of Kobani during fighting on November 4, 2014.(Reuters / Yannis Behrakis ) The US-led coalition is conducting airstrike assault on positions of the Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS) organization in Syria and Iraq. The strikes involve a mix of fighter, bomber and tomahawk land-attack missiles. Saturday, November 8 21:14 GMT: A 10-vehicle Islamic State convoy has been destroyed by a US led airstrike near Mosul, Iraq, Reuters reports citing a US official. Presumably the escort had one of the militants' top commander Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. However his fate remains unclear as the US is still trying to determine if he was present at the time of the strike. Colonel Patrick Ryder, a spokesman for Central Command, said the Pentagon had reason to suspect that the convoy could potentially carry Islamic State leaders. 01:37 GMT: Turkey’s role in the fight against ISIS in Syria may be even more complicated than expected: a former Islamic State member reportedly claimed the country routinely communicates with the group, letting it cross the border to fight Kurdish troops. In a report by Newsweek, the former Islamic State communications technician – dubbed “Sherko Omer” in order to protect his identity – said the extremist group considers Turkey an ally as it continues to battle Kurds in Syrian towns like Kobani. Turkish army tanks take position on top of a hill near Mursitpinar border crossing in the southeastern Turkish town of Suruc in Sanliurfa province. (Reuters/Umit Bektas) Friday, November 7 20:55 GMT: President Barack Obama has authorized the US military to send 1,500 more troops to Iraq. That would nearly double the American military presence in the country. He also requested $5.6 billion for the fight against the Islamic State. Thursday, November 614:05 GMT: US airstrikes have hit the camp of a rebel-group in Syria which is not affiliated with the Islamic State, activists told AP, prompting accusations that the US is indirectly aiding the Assad regime. At least one strike hit a compound controlled by Ahrar al-Sham in north west Syria, activists told the agency. Wednesday, November 5 14:57 GMT: A US Central Command statement says that 14 airstrikes have taken place across Syria and Iraq from Monday, with the majority targeting IS strongholds in Iraq. Three strikes took place near the Syrian border town of Kobani. 13:55 GMT: Obama has said that he will seek from Congress new authority in attempts to combat the Islamic State. "The idea is to right-size and update whatever authorization Congress provides to suit the current fight rather than previous fights," Obama told a press conference. 12:18 GMT: A German rapper-jihadist has been formally identified in an alleged Islamic State beheading video. Denis Cuspert, who also performs under the name Deso Dogg and has adopted the name Abu Talha al-Amani. While the film's authenticity is yet to be verified, its existence appears to counteract reports that he was previously killed in Syria. Reuters / Yannis Behrakis Tuesday, November 4 11:58 GMT: Islamic State has set fixed prices to sell Yazidi and Christian women who have been abducted by members of the militant group, Iraqi media have reported. The barbaric tariffs range from around $40 for older women to $170 for children. 11:52 GMT: Islamic State militants beat Kurdish children as young as 14 with cables, forced them to watch videos of IS beheadings and made them intensively learn the Koran during months of captivity, Human Rights Watch reports, saying it amounts to war crime. Monday, November 3 02:00 GMT: Canada's CF-18 fighter jets have dropped their first laser guided bombs on Islamic State (IS, previously ISIS) targets since joining the US-led coalition against the extremist group, the country’s defense minister said on Sunday. “Coordinated with our coalition partners, two CF-18s attacked ISIL targets with GBU12 500 lb laser guided bombs in the vicinity of Fallujah, Iraq,” Defense Minister Rob Nicholson said in a statement. “The approximately four hour mission included air-to-air refueling from Canada's Polaris aircraft. All aircraft returned safely to their base.” 00:58 GMT: The Iraqi government said Sunday that at least 322 members of the Al-Bu Nimr tribe were murdered by Islamic State fighters over the past week, including dozens of women and children whose bodies were found dumped in a well. Sunday, November 2 00:37 GMT: Thousands of protesters from across the globe – including Turkey, France, Italy, Germany, the UK, and Australia – marched on November 1 to show solidarity with Kurdish fighters battling ISIS in the strategic city of Kobani, located on Syria's border with Turkey. Saturday, November 1 14:45 GMT: Heavily-armed Iraqi Kurdish troops have arrived in the besieged town of Kobani to help Syrian Kurds fight off Islamic State militants. The town welcomed the fighters known as the Peshmerga, or “those who defy death.” The Iraqi Kurds are ready to engage in action in the next few hours, according to Kurdish officials. "What was lacking is the weapons and ammunition, so the arrival of more of it plus the fighters will help tip the balance of the battle," Idris Nassan, a top official in the Kobani district, told Reuters. 13:59 GMT: IS militants executed 85 members of the Albu Nimr tribe in Anbar Province to the west of Iraqi capital Baghdad in a terror campaign to break their resistance to the Islamic State (IS). Fifty members of the Albu Nimr tribe were killed on Friday, when tribesmen attempted to flee the site they had been defending for weeks, but had run low on ammunition, fuel and food, one of the tribe's chiefs, Sheikh Naeem al-Ga'oud, told Reuters. Later, a mass grave with 35 bodies of civilians was found in the same area, a security official revealed. Since the Islamic State terror campaign against tribes began in the middle of the last week, over 300 people have been executed. They were shot at close range and dumped in mass graves, Ga'oud and security officials said. The Albu Nimr tribe has been asking the central government for weapons and military help to fight the jihadists, but official Baghdad sent neither weapons nor troops to rescue Albu Nimr or other tribes, al-Ga'oud revealed. http://rt.com/news/189804-us-isis-syria-airstrikes/

Erdogan’s Book of Defeat Posted on November 8, 2014 Gatestone Institute, by Burak Bekdil, Oct. 31, 2014: In the entire Middle East, Turkey now has only two allies: Qatar, which looks more like a rich, family-owned gas station than a state; and Hamas, a terrorist organization. Tunisia was the final chapter in Erdogan’s book of defeat. Neo-Ottomanism was a childish dream. It is, now, a “sealed” childish dream. Shortly after the Arab Spring rocked several capitals in the Middle East, the Turks devised a plan that would enable their country to emerge as the new Ottoman Empire. While deliberately and systematically antagonizing Israel, Ankara would: replace the Shia-controlled Syrian regime of Bashar al-Assad with a Turkey-friendly Sunni ruler; support the Sunni in Iraq and Lebanon and boost their political influence; support Hamas in the Palestinian territories and provoke it to violence against Israel; and make sure that the Muslim Brotherhood or their various brethren rule Egypt, Tunisia and Libya. Saudis were already “our Muslim brothers.” Eventually, all former Ottoman lands would produce governments subservient to the emerging Turkish Empire. Nearly four years later, Syria’s Assad is comfortably sitting in his presidential palace in Damascus and possibly laughing at the mess the Turks created by supporting Syria’s jihadists. These jihadists have only wreaked havoc along Turkey’s nearly 900-mile-long borders with both Syria and Iraq. The Shia in Iraq are as powerful as before, and remain obedient to Turkey’s regional sectarian rival, Iran. The Shia in Lebanon — where Turks are a high-value currency on the hostage market — are increasingly hostile to Turkey. No one knows who rules Libya after the downfall of Colonel Qaddafi, but none of the warring factions want any Turks meddling in the former Ottoman colony. Meanwhile, a coup in July 2013 toppled the Turks’ most-trusted regional ally, Egypt’s then president, Mohamed Morsi. Today, not only the Turks but also Turkish products — including even soap operas — are unwanted in Egypt. ‘Join me, and together we can rule the galaxy…’ Pictured above: Egypt’s then President Mohamed Morsi (left) poses with Turkey’s then Prime Minister (now President) Recep Tayyip Erdogan, before Morsi was overthrown and jailed. With the downfall — ironically, instead of Assad — of their Islamist allies in the region, the Turks recently discreetly moved to win back Egypt, the most populous Muslim nation in the region. Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu asked to meet with his Egyptian counterpart, Sameh Hassan Shorky Selim, on the sidelines of the UN summit in September. The Egyptian minister abruptly cancelled the meeting, citing Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s “insulting words about [Egyptian] President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi.” A statement from the Egyptian foreign ministry called Erdogan’s words “lies and fabrication.” More recently, Cairo announced that it would not renew a three-year transit trade agreement with Turkey. The decision indicates a further worsening of bilateral ties, which had been downgraded, as in the instance of Israel, to the level of chargé d’affaires. The transit trade agreement, signed in 2012 when Morsi was in power, had facilitated Turkish exports to African nations and the Gulf through Egypt’s mainland, via Egyptian ports. Turkish companies previously sent their cargo to Gulf and African customers through Syria, when relations with Syria were normal. After Erdogan chose cold war with Syria, the Syrian route was closed to the Turks. The Turks then signed the transit deal with Egypt to use their ports and mainland as the alternative route. Now that Egypt will terminate this agreement, Turkish companies will be deprived of an easy route to Gulf and African customers. Ironically, only six weeks before General al-Sisi ousted Egypt’s Islamist President Morsi, Turkey had granted Egypt a $250 million loan to finance Turkish-Egyptian joint defense projects. The loan, the first of its kind, was intended to boost defense cooperation and Turkish exports of defense equipment to Egypt. At that time, Turkey was hoping to sell Egypt scores of Turkish-made drones, tactical naval boats and helicopters. Egypt’s hostile move was a “shock” to Ankara, but only to Ankara. “Apparently everyone dealing with the Egyptians knew this was coming, except the Turks,” said one EU ambassador in Ankara. It was not a secret that Egypt and the Turks’ “Muslim brothers, Saudi Arabia” aggressively lobbied against Turkey’s failed bid in September to win the seat of the non-permanent member of the United Nations Security Council. The EU ambassador said: “There may be further Egyptian moves to retaliate against Turkish hostilities. After Syria, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Lebanon and Israel, Turkey has completely lost Egypt.” That mishap left Turkey’s Islamists with one ideological ally in the former Ottoman lands: Tunisia, where the Muslim Brotherhood-inspired Ennahda party was in a coalition government — until this past weekend. Ennahda, the first Islamist movement to secure power after the 2011 Arab Spring revolts, conceded defeat in elections that are expected to make its main secular rival, Nidaa Tounes party, the strongest force in parliament. This defeat is a huge setback for Erdogan’s Tunisian ideological allies, who had headed a coalition government with two non-religious partners for more than two years. Tunisia was the final chapter in Erdogan’s book of defeat. Neo-Ottomanism was a childish dream. It is, now, a “sealed” childish dream. In the entire Middle East, Turkey now has only two allies: Qatar, which looks more like a rich, family-owned gas station than a state; and Hamas, a terrorist organization. But Turkey has a rich menu of hostilities: Iran, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, (discreetly) Jordan, Israel, the United Arab Emirates, Egypt, (as always) Cyprus, (now) Tunisia, (also discreetly) Morocco and Algeria, and (most warring factions of) Libya. In an April 2012 speech, then Foreign Minister Davutoglu defined Turkey’s policy goal as: “On the historic march of our holy nation, the AK Party signals the birth of a global power and the mission for a new world order. This is the centenary of our exit from the Middle East… whatever we lost between 1911 and 1923, whatever lands we withdrew from, from 2011 to 2023 we shall once again meet our brothers in those lands. This is a … historic mission.” That was a not-so-covert message of a strategic goal of reviving the Empire. Only nine years before the deadline to “meet our brothers” and the birth of Turkey as “a global power with a mission to build a new world order,” Turkey looks rather dramatically isolated.

Love One Another Gladly Our WORD for Friday, 7 Nov 2014 "He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?" ( Micah 6:8) No one has ever felt unloved because he was told that the attainment of his joy would make another person happy. I have never been accused of selfishness when justifying a kindness on the basis that it delights me. On the contrary, loving acts are genuine to the degree that they are not done begrudgingly. And the good alternative to begrudgingly is not neutrally or dutifully, but gladly. The authentic heart of love “loves kindness” (Micah 6:8); it doesn’t just do kindness. Christianity forces this truth into consideration. "By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and obey his commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome. For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world." ( 1 John 5:2–4) Read these sentences in reverse order and notice the logic. First, being born of God gives a power that conquers the world. This is given as the ground or basis (“For”) for the statement that the commandments of God are not burdensome. So being born of God gives a power that conquers our worldly aversion to the will of God. Now his commandments are not “burdensome,” but are the desire and delight of our heart. This is the love of God: not just that we do his commandments, but also that they are not burdensome. Then in verse 2 the evidence of the genuineness of our love for the children of God is said to be the love of God. What does this teach us about our love for the children of God? Since love for God is doing his will gladly rather than with a sense of burden, and since love for God is the measure of the genuineness of our love for the children of God, therefore our love for the children of God must also be done gladly rather than begrudgingly. Christianity stands squarely in the service of love, for it presses us on to glad obedience.

Thanks Ron. Love IS the power of God; from pure and willing heart it is super powerful.

Happiness is bringing home a horny one!!!

Thank You Again Rayzur And TankDude For All The Updates... Much Appreciated. Gotta admit I had some major frustration and misty eyes by the time I finished reading this report today. Isil march to centre of Kobane continues despite US air strikes Dispatch from the Turkey-Syria border: 'When Kobane falls, it will be like World War III' By Robert Tait, Mursitpinar 8:15PM BST 07 Oct 2014 The desperate bid to prevent Kobane becoming the latest Islamic State [isil] stronghold began before daybreak. It was 4am on Tuesday when the first American air strike targeted the jihadist positions encircling the strategically vital northern Syrian border town, which has been under an intensifying siege for more than a fortnight. At least seven more US missiles struck during the course of the day in a graphic sign of the urgency lent to the situation by Isil's hoisting of its trademark black flag atop a building in Kobane's eastern outskirts on Monday – suggesting it was about to fall. In midafternoon, a missile landed in the town in a ball of flame, before sending up a billowing tower of thick black smoke. It was unclear whether the hit was the result of an American strike or came from Isil's abundant stock of heavy armoury. What was clear was that the fight for possession of this impoverished and physically unprepossessing town – until recently, home to more than 100,000 people – was unrelenting. It could be heard more than a mile away across the Turkish border in the form of rapid machine gunfire – evidence of close-range street-to-street combat, according to those who have recently left for Turkey. Equally apparent was an emerging consensus that more than air strikes were needed to halt Isil's ruthless and relentless march through the Kurdish regions of northern Syria. Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Turkey's president, voiced that sentiment on Tuesday while forecasting bluntly that "Kobane is about to fall". "I am telling the West – dropping bombs from the air will not provide a solution," he said in a televised speech in the eastern Turkish city of Gaziantep, adding that the time had come to "cooperate for a ground invasion". The Turkish leader is strongly mistrusted by the Kurds of Turkey and Syria. Many accuse his government – anxious about Turkey's own Kurdish separatist movement – of conniving with Isil and of failing to act to prevent it committing atrocities against the Kurds in northern Syria. At least three dozen Turkish tanks parked in a circle on a hill overlooking Kobane – apparently ready for action but still not deployed – further fuelled Kurdish suspicions, which on Tuesday boiled over into angry protests in Istanbul and other cities and left one man dead. Yet Mr Erdogan's view on air strikes struck a chord. In Kobane itself, the local knowledge of Kurdish guerrillas in the YPG [People's Defence Units] militia was likely to be more effective in combating the invading jihadists than air strikes, according to Ahmed Shekho, 24, head of the Syrian Kurdish students union, who fled at the weekend as the Isil attacks became fiercer. "Now that Isil are in the eastern side of the town, a street war has started. It's like gang warfare," he said. "The YPG fighters know every street. Most of them are sons of Kobane and they are famous for their street fighting. "Isil are better armed but when it comes to street fighting, maybe the situation could be different. The fighting has been intense and 350 jihadist fighters have been killed on the eastern side of Kobane." On the air strikes, Mr Shekho – who, like thousands of other Syrian Kurds, has sought refuge in the Turkish border town of Sururc – shared Mr Erdogan's scepticism. "For the Kurds, the American air strikes were the only hope, but they seem to have been more effective in Iraq," he said. "There's a valley to the south-west of Kobane that had 2,000 Isil vehicles in it for 11 days, yet the Americans have never targeted them. It's as if they only want to scare them or do a little damage. I was in the south-west of Kobane and I saw an American air strike hitting a water pump belonging to a local farmer." Watching their home town go up on smoke from hill top vantage points in Turkey, other natives of Kobane bemoaned what they saw as a weak international response. "Let America, Britain and all the world help us," said Rezdar Azad, 64, who said there was little hope of preventing Kobane's takeover by Isil, even though his three sons were fighting with the Kurdish militia to save the town. "When Kobane falls, it will be like World War III. I haven't spoken to my sons for three days. I don't know what will become of them. No one likes us or cares about us. They just want us to die." Isil's infiltration into Kobane has had the effect of emptying the town of the last remnants of its civilian population, with the Kurdish fighting force now all that is left, according to local sources. Yet standing under a broiling sun by a road side close to the frontier with a group of fellow Kobane natives, Mahmoud Ali Mohammed, 43, told poignantly of another two remaining residents – his elderly parents, who have refused to leave their birthplace despite the mayhem unfolding around them. "My father is 85, blind and can hardly move," said Mr Mohammed, sporting a striking red keffiyeh, who left for Turkey because his son needed medical treatment. "He called me and asked me to go back to Kobane because there is no food or water. I brought him and my mother to the border but they decided to return home. They said, if we are going to die, we want to die in our own homeland, not in Turkey." http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/middleeast/syria/11147499/Isil-march-to-centre-of-Kobane-continues-despite-US-air-strikes.html

Imagine if Dr. Ben Carson had been our first black president. How many could he have inspired? Instead of the constant division, we all would have had real hope that anything is possible! He needs to cowboy up on his 2nd amendment stance... but I appreciate and admire him very much.

I would love to see him as President. He has such an encouraging life story. He doesn't have to convince people what or who he is. His actions speak for themselves. He's a fine man. If only people would have considered actions of a person before they elected that A$$clown we have up there defiling the white house right now. I will vote though for the "BEST" candidate that will win against H i l l a r y. I just hope it doesn't look like the republicans are trying to say "Look we can have a black candidate too. See, see!" Ben Carson is more than qualified in my book and him being a Christian is a plus.

One less

Let's hope he wins instead of just diluting the conservative vote and helping to hand it to Hillarious.

THANKS
