  2. Finally got a call back from Sean at Direct Global and this is what he had to say, the container,{which they will supply}, is your standard twenty foot by eight foot. I believe for our porpoises that would be more than enough, I've hauled those around and one is about half the length of a flat bed trailer. The port that I requested was Roseau, however, if you so choose that could be changed to Portsmouth. Now the departure point that is presented in the following email sent to me yesterday is my home in Kansas. I chose that local at first so as to have a real address for the porpoises of getting an accurate estimation. The current estimation is considerably higher because that according to Sean the first one didn't include the shipping cost, which he said is usually automatically included. The cost could become far less if we had someone in say Miami Fl. that could house the container for the two day loading time. It will be drop off at the loading destination of your choice and we would have two days to load it. then it will be picked up and delivered to the port of shipping where it may take as much as two days to actually leave the port. The actual time spent on the ship is usually around 3 to 4 days. Then the container will be offloaded at the port of call and delivered to anywhere on the Island that you choose. You would then have two days to unload the container and they will pick it up. Again the cost seems somewhat prohibitive, however, all things considered I still thing it doable. Where we are at with the current pledges would give us around $4000,00 dollars to purchase the necessary items to place in the container. And I have no doubt that you could raise more just by letting everyone know that you have a plan. At least that is my prayer. The following is the most recent email, with contact info for Sean. If you wish to contact me also you may reach me through my email on DV, or my Phone number here for your text messaging service, and I may also be reached through our mutual friend Dr. Stevenson. I do so hope that we can get this thing done as I know that it will be a wonderful thing for those on the island.

Remember, tomorrow it could be us in need. Dominica electricity company reports millions in losses due to Erika ROSEAU, Dominica (CMC) – The Dominica Electricity Services Company Limited (DOMLEC) says it has suffered damages in excess of $6 million (One EC Dollar =US$0.37 cents) as a result of the passage of Tropical Storm Erika late last month. DOMLEC public relations officer, Adina Bellot-Valentine, said that the losses did not include the damages to the generating sets because assessments have not yet been made. She said the company, the sole provider of electricity here, is awaiting representatives of the manufacturers of the generators, who are due here this week, to carry out the assessment. ‘So for now we have quite a debt,” she said, noting that the company had also take a decision to meet the costs of providing electricity to some shelters housing elderly people affected by the storm. “All the shelters designated by government…we are taking up the cost of electricity for the duration of the time the residents are going to be there,” she added. Tropical Storm Erika hit the island on August 27 killing more than 30 people and leaving damage estimated at EC$600 million.

  4. Gives those cowardly soliders fleeing a bad name LOL. Also, my favorite quote from the article: The female fighters told MailOnline that " ISIS soldiers are scared of being killed by women because they they believe then they will not receive 'Jannah', paradise or heavenly rewards in the afterlife." 'This is revenge for the Yazidi girls': How three brave female fighters killed 10 ISIS jihadis a day on the frontline in IraqAll-female fighting unit is stemming the tide of ISIS' ethnic cleansing of Yazidis in Mount Sinjar, northern Iraq Women left behind lives in Turkey and smuggle themselves into Kurdistan to take revenge for Yazidi murders At the peak of the fighting, the AK47-wielding women were shooting dead up to 10 ISIS insurgents a day They said they find drugs on jihadis they have captured on killed that they have taken to pluck up courage to fight on battlefield They said Islamic extremists are frightened of being killed by a woman and denied 'Jannah' or paradise after death By OWEN HOLDAWAY IN MOUNT SINJAR FOR MAILONLINE PUBLISHED: 09:25 EST, 22 September 2015 | UPDATED: 22:56 EST, 22 September 2015 Three courageous women have told how they formed an armed all-female fighting unit and killed up to 10 ISIS jihadis a day to stop the Yazidi genocide on embattled Mount Sinjar. The women took the extraordinary decision to leave behind their lives in Turkey and travel to Kurdistan, northern Iraq, to end the bloodshed of Yazidis being slaughtered there. 'When we heard ISIS were coming to Sinjar and killing women, we came to stop the humanitarian crisis,' Roza, 22, the youngest of the group, told MailOnline. Brave: Pictured left to right: Raparin, Roza and Deijly make up an all female fighting unit who left left their lives in Turkey to help stem the tide of ethnic cleansing by ISIS against Yazidi people in Mount Sinjar, northern Iraq 'When ISIS came, we saw them take Yazidi females and enslave them,' Roza said. The ethnic cleansing of Yazidis on Mount Sinjar started in August last year when ISIS raided villages and plundered communities. They went into villages armed with guns and took men, women and children from their homes. Terrified, they were forced to stand in two separate lines, men on one side and women and children on the other. The men were forced to renounce Christianity and pledge their allegiance to Islam. Should they refuse, they were bundled into trucks and taken to killing fields on the edges of villages, forced to dig their own graves before being made to kneel and shot in the back of the head. The women and underage girls were often taken to cities such as Mosul and Raqqa and turned into sex slaves. Speaking exclusively to MailOnline, Roza explained: 'They did this first of all to get rid of the Yazidis and convert them and second, to do bad things to their females.' The genocide of Yazidis led US President Barack Obama to order air strikes against ISIS on August 7. But the women said that by then it was already too late. Sat next to Roza is her experienced guerrilla 'commander', Deijly. Deijly explained that they had heard from other fighters operating in the caves in Sinjar that ISIS massacred Yazidis four days before the US airstrikes, on August 3. 'We smuggled ourselves there from Turkey on August 5,' Deijly, 29, said pointing in the direction they came from. She said that the Yazidis were left defenceless after the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) and its troops, the Peshmerga, withdrew. 'We heard that the Peshmerga had withdrawn and we heard the children were dying on the mountain.' We were sometimes killing ten of them a day, in the beginning of the liberation of Sinjar Raparin, 24, PKK fighter As the Sinjar tragedy unfolded, an estimated 40,000 refugees were stranded on the mountain with little water or supplies. 'It was a difficult journey from Turkey. When we came the temperatures were scorching, but we were trained for that,' said Deijly, who is originally from Istanbul. The final member of their unit, Raparin, 26, who also 'smuggled' herself in from Turkey, told what happened when the women arrived on the battlefield. 'We were sometimes killing ten of them a day, in the beginning of the liberation of Sinjar,' she said from her vantage point overlooking the ISIS-controlled town of Bara on the western mountain slope in Sinjar. Helped by American-led air strikes and joined by more Kurdish forces, they manage to secure a corridor to allow many of the stranded Yazidis to cross into Syrian territory. 'We are 'one' with the Yazidis and will fight ISIS to take revenge for the what has happened to the women,' Deijly said. The women are all members of the PKK, the Kurdistan Workers Party, an organization that has been fighting the Turkish government for decades and is classified as a terrorist organization by the US, NATO and Turkey. It's for that reason that they will reveal few details of their lives back home. 'Recep Tayyip Erdoğan [Turkey President] has never wanted to make an agreement with us, and other countries support him, and think the PKK are terrorists,' said Raparin of her home country. Turkey has recently begun a bombing campaign against the PKK and ISIS in Iraq and Syria. The PKK are also helping to create and train Sinjar Protection Units that are made up of both male and female volunteer Yazidi fighters. 'There is no difference between the female and male fighters. The training is the same,' they explained. The situation on Sinjar is still tense, but has 'calmed down' since the last ISIS attack with RPGS a fortnight ago, according to the women. They admit to seeing 'many of their friends die' during numerous bloody battles - but insist they will fight until their last breath to stop Islamic extremism. 'The beheadings are the worst thing in the world. Fighting is two forces against each other, but they are not doing this. I don't think this is in any religion,' Roza stated. Sometimes when we kill or capture them we see that they are drugged, or having been doping Deijly, 29, commander However, they believe that Islamic State's propaganda is more powerful than their military capability. 'Everyone is worried about ISIS. But they are not that strong and they cannot continue to fight against the PKK,' Raparin continued. The unit of three also claim that jihadists need to take drugs to pluck up the courage to fight them. 'Sometimes when we kill or capture them we see that they are drugged, or having been doping,' Deijly said. ISIS has been particularly brutal with captured Kurdish fighters, raping the women and beheading the men if they surrender. But, tapping the butt of her rifle, Raparin said: 'I don't believe they will be able to capture me. If they capture me I would rather kill myself.' Shrugging her shoulders, Deijly added: 'It is the same for all of us.' 'It happened to some of my friends who were surrounded, they killed themselves before Daesh [the name given to ISIS] could capture them. I have lost many friends,' she added. It is claimed that ISIS militants are scared of being killed by women, as they believe will not receive 'Jannah', paradise or heavenly rewards in the after death. 'When they know women are fighting, they run away,' Roza said with an ironic smile. Her commander added: 'I have killed many, but I am sure all of them will not find virgins in heaven.' The PKK, as well as being at the forefront of the fight against ISIS in Iraq and Syria, also promotes gender equality in the Middle East. The group claims its goals are to 'provide democracy and freedom for women', starting with the Kurdish people. 'We have to first provide this in Kurdistan, and then the rest of the world can learn. But in Kurdistan it is the only place where women's voices are rising,' Deijly said.

  9. While you are being entertained by the 2016 race and the royal papal visit, the real destruction of America is in full swing. In yet another nail about to be added to the the American Coffin, some of the biggest corporations in the information industry are at this moment paying for hordes of lobbyists to descend on DC, and influence our corrupted politicians to vote for an information sharing act that will forever change internet privacy. Our "leaders" have discovered that they can use our own money to bribe anyone they want, into doing anything they want them to do. A perfect example of this is a video in a post by machine explaining how the federal reserve is bribing the banks to not loan you money by paying them interest on the money they have, so the banks have more incentive to not give loans than to give loans, which is making our economy weak. Machines post: http://dinarvets.com/forums/index.php?/topic/208595-the-fed-audit-shocker// Even though the government openly admits this exact same process is what delayed America's recovery from the Great Depression, they will not stop, which means our own government is intentionally keeping our economy repressed. Why? To obtain greater control over you. In another example of government treachery being welcomed is in the telecommunication giants eagerly demanding CISPA passage. Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act. It means every internet, cell, phone, and communication company will be paid your money, by your government, to tell on you, and they will never be prosecuted for violating your privacy. It is HR234:https://www.congress.gov/bill/114th-congress/house-bill/234 Here is the single best resource to help stop them. It is a non-partisan group of humans that are fighting to keep the internet open, which is our only source of truth, freedom, and self-expression left. https://www.fightforthefuture.org/ Please stand up, this is not dem, not con, this is humans against the dark side of power and control. Don't want to make a big post, so I'll add some links. While it may look like we lost on the TPP, it still sin't over. We are in an "acceptance" mode. If enough people manage to forget about it, it will be enacted behind closed doors. We haven't lost, not yet. We can stop this too. Actually, I would say our chances are even better, as the betrayers in DC are coming up to a major election cycle, and it's time to put on the game face for some of the key players, and if only a few of them were finally tossed next year, DC could have a sudden constitutional revival. Follow the links, check out the site, then take a stand for humanity. If the internet gets shut down or controlled, any illusions of freedom are gone for all the world, not just America....Thank you for reading this....DM Here are a couple legal reviews of the proposed heinous act: 1. http://www.bsa.org/~/media/Files/Policy/data/09142015CongLeadershipDataAgendaLetter.pdf 2. http://cyberlaw.stanford.edu/files/blogs/technologists_info_sharing_bills_letter_w_exhibit.pdf A little flyer; The following companies just betrayed billions of people.Apple, Microsoft, Adobe, Symantec, and a handful of other tech companies just began publicly lobbying Congress to pass the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act (CISA), a bill that would give corporations total legal immunity when they share private user data with the government and with each other. Many of these companies have previously claimed to fight for their users' privacy rights, but by supporting this bill they've made it clear that they've abandoned that position, and are willing to endanger their users' security and civil rights in exchange for government handouts and protection. Tell them why they're on the wrong side of history. EMAIL THEMFight for the Future will deliver your email and send you campaign updates. Privacy These companies are selling us out.What does it take for some of the biggest competitors in the tech industry to put their differences aside and sign a letter endorsing a hugely unpopular surveillance bill? Sweeping legal immunity. Worse, these companies know that their customers hate CISA, and so they’re jumping into the water together, hoping there’s safety in numbers. After all, you can’t blame Microsoft if Apple is doing the same thing, right? What's wrong with CISA?If you’re not up to speed, CISA is a mass surveillance bill posing as a “cybersecurity” bill. Congress has been blindly scrambling to react to the OPM hacks, and their solution is a giveaway to the NSA and giant corporations: All privacy policies effectively null and void. Companies can share any private user data with the government, without a warrant, as long as the government says it is being used for a “cybersecurity” purpose. Data is shared with a wide array of government agencies, from the FBI and NSA, to the IRS and local law enforcement. In exchange, companies are given blanket immunity from civil and criminal laws, like fraud, money laundering, or illegal wiretapping (if a violation was committed or exposed in the process of sharing data). Companies that play along can get otherwise classified intelligence data from the government, including private information about their competitors. To learn more about CISA, click here. Dial 985-222-CISA to call Congress now. Internet users demand meaningful cybersecurity legislation, not more mass surveillance. Millions have already spoken out, and there's still time to send Congress a clear message. Please call your representatives, and share this page to spread the word!

  10. -- Bring Potato Chips Potato Chips A little boy wanted to meet God. He knew it was a long trip to where God lived, So he packed his suitcase with a bag of potato chips and a six-pack of root beer and started his journey. When he had gone about three blocks, he met an old man. He was sitting in the park, just staring at some pigeons. The boy sat down next to him and opened his suitcase. He was about to take a drink from his root beer when he noticed that the old man looked hungry, so he offered him some chips. He gratefully accepted It and smiled at him. His smile was so pretty that the boy wanted to see it again, so he offered him a root beer. Again, he smiled at him. The boy was delighted! They sat there all afternoon eating and smiling, but they never said a word... As twilight approached, the boy realized how tired he was and he got up to leave; But before he had gone more than a few steps, he turned around, ran back to the old man, and gave him a hug. He gave him his biggest smile ever... When the boy opened the door to his own house a short time later, his mother was Surprised by the look of joy on his face. She asked him, "What did you do today that made you so happy?" He replied, "I had lunch with God." But before his mother could respond, he added, "You know what? He's got the most beautiful smile I've ever seen!" Meanwhile, the old man, also radiant with joy, returned to his home. His son was Stunned by the look of peace on his face and he asked, "dad, what did you do today That made you so happy?" He replied "I ate potato chips in the park with God." However, before his son responded, he added, "You know, he's much younger than I expected." Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, An honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to Turn a life around. People come into our lives for a reason, a season, or a lifetime! Embrace all equally! Have lunch with God.......bring chips. h.a.n.d.

  16. In addition, Tlars brother stated that the HCL is done. His exact quote..."HCL already done....but you can keep thinking it hasn't if that makes you feel better." He made the statement and when asked to back it up, there was nothing, no response. What gets me is his condescending attitude as if everyone but him is a stupid fool. IMO, Tlars brother is the boy who cried wolf one too many times.

  19. So Is Barack Obama a Muslim or What? By Jack Cashill “The fallacy that President Obama is a Muslim has tripped up many a politician,” said NPR’s Jessica Taylor hopefully on Friday, “and on Thursday night, GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump was its latest victim.” Trump’s presumed faux pas was his failure to correct a questioner who asserted that Barack Obama was a Muslim. Taylor’s real error as a reporter, like that of all her mainstream colleagues, was to dismiss the questioner’s assertion as a “fallacy” without providing any evidence to the contrary. Strange but true, reporters pride themselves on knowing nothing about Obama’s roots. Last month, for instance, Catherine Thompson of the popular progressive blog, Talking Points Memo, interviewed me about an article I had written on the subject of Republican presidential eligibility. Weary of her obvious condescension, I asked her where Obama spent the first year of his life. “Indonesia?” she answered. “No,” I said, “Seattle.” I asked her to survey her colleagues on the same question. Not surprisingly, this was the one exchange she edited out of the interview. Obama’s word, whether on his birth or his faith, is good enough for the center-left media. Although they have chosen to know as little as possible about Obama’s Muslim legacy, the legacy is real. “Barry was a Muslim,” his third grade teacher told the Los Angeles Times in 2007,” and he did, in fact, register in school in Indonesia as one. In his 1995 memoir, Dreams from My Father, Obama gratuitously used the Arabic “Andalusia” when referring to Spain. In September 2008, in a conversation with George Stephanopoulos set up to quell such rumors, Obama slipped up and referred to “my Muslim faith” before Stephanopoulos quickly intervened to correct him. Slip up or no, Obama found it "deeply offensive" that the Republican camp was suggesting “that perhaps I'm not who I say I am when it comes to my faith." In his 2006 book Audacity of Hope, Obama presumed to establish “who I say I am.” The very title of the book, however, gives the wary reader pause. Obama named it—misnamed it actually-- after the life-changing sermon by Jeremiah Wright, “Audacity to Hope.” In Dreams, Obama recounted the sermon approvingly and in some detail. He cited classic Wright pearls like “White folks’ greed runs a world in need” as if they actually made sense. And this, he boasted, was the sermon that set him on the road to Christianity or some self-serving approximation thereof. To those paying attention, Obama’s conversion seemed as calculated as his choice of wife. Early biographer David Mendell noted that in 2004 “Obama, without fail, would mention his church and his Christian faith when he was campaigning in black churches and more socially conservative downstate Illinois communities.” Yet, when Mendell tried to talk to Obama about his faith and his “ever present bible,” Obama proved “uncharacteristically short” in his responses. To be sure, Obama has claimed on many an occasion since to be a Christian. In August 2008 at Rick Warren’s Saddleback Church in California, he made the claim twice in one sentence. This profession came in response to Warren’s question on marriage. “I believe marriage is the union between a man and a woman,” said Obama. “Now for me as a Christian,” and here he paused to let the applause die down, “for me as a Christian, it’s also a sacred union.” At this juncture, he pointed skyward and added, “God’s in the mix.” Who could possibly have doubted so sincere a profession of faith? Obama adviser David Axelrod certainly did. “Opposition to *** marriage was particularly strong in the black church,” Axelrod wrote of Obama in his memoir, Believer: My Forty Years in Politics, “and as he ran for higher office, he grudgingly accepted the counsel of more pragmatic folks like me, and modified his position to support civil unions rather than marriage, which he would term a ‘sacred union.’” In those two words, “sacred union,” is the rub. Obama not only lied, but he also used “God” to sell the lie, a stunning bit of blasphemy in whatever faith Obama professes. For Obama, lying about his faith was apparently no big deal. As he told Axelrod after stumbling through a question on same-sex marriage, “I’m just not very good at bulls––ing.” One has to ask, if Obama was willing to bulls–- about his relationship with God, what was he not willing to bulls–- about? Why should anyone, for instance, believe his “for me as a Christian” line? Over the years, Obama has done little to shore up his Christian credentials. In comparing ISIS to Christian Crusaders at the 2015 National Prayer Breakfast, he displayed both his ignorance of history and his instinctive contempt for Christianity. “Everything he does is against what Christians stand for,” said Mike Huckabee after the Prayer Breakfast. “And he’s against the Jews in Israel. The one group of people who can know they have his undying, unfailing support would be the Muslim community.” Mendell’s book had one revelation about Obama’s faith that may trump all others. Obama told Mendell he was drawn to Christianity because “many of the impulses that I had carried with me and were propelling me forward were the same impulses that express themselves through the church.” In other words, Jesus thought pretty much along the same Alinskyite lines as Obama did. “It’s like church in here,” actor Jamie Foxx said at the 2012 Soul Train Awards. “First of all, give an honor to God and our Lord and Savior Barack Obama.” Obama could not have said it better himself. If he really is a secret Muslim, I suspect even Allah would have to take a back pew in the Church of Obama.

  23. GOLD PRICES rose 1% against the US Dollar in Asian and London trade Wednesday, recovering two-thirds of the earlier drop from last Friday's near-3 week highs after new data said China's economic slowdown is worsening. Platinum rallied 0.5% from yesterday's new 6.5-year lows as German prosecutors began an investigation into car giant VW faking test results for cutting emissions from diesel-engine vehicles, the metal's primary use. Gold priced in Euros rose near yesterday's new September highs at €1016 per ounce as the single currency dipped below $1.11 on the FX market – more than 3 cents beneath last week's peaks. The Caixin PMI survey meantime showed China's manufacturing sector shrinking at the fastest pace since the global meltdown of early 2009. State-owned mining and processing conglomerate China National Gold Grouptoday became the first Chinese member of market-development organization the World Gold Council, joining major Western producers Barrick, Newmont and GoldCorp and 14 other leading producers. "The Chinese gold market," notes the World Gold Council in its announcement, "has grown exponentially over recent decades and China is now the largest market for gold, in terms of both supply and demand." Specialist consultancy Metals Focus, however, expresses "caution towards Chinese demand" for 2015 in its latest Precious Metals Weekly, saying that "our meetings with local contacts point to continued weakness of gold demand amid a slowing economy, particularly in light of poor consumer sentiment in the aftermath of the equity slump." World No.2 consumer India, in contrast, shows "a more positive outlook...although concentrated in the jewellery sector. "The local investment segment is likely to remain disappointing." India's total gold demand between now and New Year could reach the highest level since 2012, Bloomberg quotes Bachhraj Bamalwa of the All India Gems & Jewellery Trade Federation, forecasting a 15% annual rise in Q4 buying, which includes the key Diwali festival. "Indian gold demand traditionally peaks in the fourth quarter," explains Germany's Commerzbank in its daily commodities note, "because the festival season begins at the end of September and the wedding season starts in November. "Increased gold demand in India and China should lend support to the gold price." New data meantime showed consumer prices in neighboring Singapore recording deflation for the 10th month in succession, down 0.8% last month from August 2014 – the deepest drop since the global financial crisis.

  25. Yep The Huffington Post like most US news agencies is a liberal news agency. Should we just censor these agencies and only listen to Fox?? I for one believe in our constitution and believe it is the single most important document ever written. And the 1st amendment is all so important. Why do people here so believe the crapp articles posted here coming out of Iraq. People question news out of the west but just believe anything out of Iraq. Do you really think they don't spin their news. Such naive thinking. And you are so wrong if you think I am a liberal... I am a life long Republican. Always have been and always will.be. I just I do not think religion has any place in politics!. IMO That's not governments job. Never was and should never should be. Its not their job to preach morality. Thats why there should always be a separation of church and state. Not everyone from California is a liberal . In fact i really don't know many. The southbay where I am from is mostly republican .

  28. Wed Sep 23, 2015 6:41 Sources: Rifts Widening among ISIL Ranks in Iraq's Baiji TEHRAN (FNA)- Iraqi security sources revealed that differences are growing among ISIL ranks and groups in the Northeastern town of Baiji, in Salahuddin province. "The Iraqi popular forces' intelligence leaders have been informed that after ISIL's numerous defeats in repeated offensives on the town of Baiji, serious gaps have surfaced among ISIL branches in that region," an Iraqi security source told FNA on Wednesday. The source said that among these groups mention can be made to al-Ansar. The Chechnian group has threatened to withdraw from regions near Baiji to return to Syria. The Iraqi forces started operations to purge Baiji of terrorists few months ago, and later took full control of the city, its refinery and its surrounding areas. But in early September reports said that the Takfiri terrorists took back some parts of Baiji after two weeks of heavy attacks on the region. In a relevant development on Tuesday, Iraqi security forces backed by volunteer troops thwarted an ISIL attack on the outskirts of Baiji. "The ISIL terrorists launched an offensive on al-Siniyah town of Baiji, but the Iraqi forces foiled the attack," a statement by the Iraqi volunteer forces said. Tens of ISIL terrorists were killed and a large number of their vehicle destroyed in the Iraqi forces' counterattack. Also, on Sunday, informed sources said that the Iraqi Army and popular forces of Hashed al-Shaabi had started fresh round of massive operations to re-seize control over Baiji. The sources said that the Iraqi forces and Hashed Al-Shaabi, launched their latest offensive to recapture their lost territory in Baiji and to weaken the terrorist group’s influence over the town of Al-Siniyah. Following the offensive’s announcement by the Iraqi defense minister, the Iraqi forces and popular committees stormed the Al-Tamim Neighborhood in Baiji, capturing it from the terrorist group after killing 19 militants.

  29. The United States dollar IS the world's reserve currency. Almost every nation who has any import/export capability relies on a stable US dollar. Yes, there has been and still is talk about coming away from the Breton Woods accord, but I see no immediacy in doing this. Remember people, there is no currency that is asset-backed. It is all based on the "assumption" of a country's economic power and stability. This is why China had to perform several recent currency devalues. It's economy was slowing down dramatically, and therefore it could not maintain it's value. Over the last 70 years it has been "king" dollar that has supported the world's economic stability and it continues today. For those out there who "sense" the Holy Spirit is telling them how the economy is going to perform, I would simply say "beware". The Kingdom of God is not about scurrying around searching for money. It is about the continuance of the Gospel of Christ to all nations and peoples. Let us be ever thankful for our blessings here in the US, and like the parable of the ten talents, be ever generous to those in need, with OR without an RV.

  30. Interesting discussion. I can understand where a person like Pudge comes from, afterall there has been no revalue of the dinar since the 1166 peg was set in 2009. Pudgy will point to the thousands of RV date predictions that have filled the dinar websites each and every month for the last six years. I cannot think of another financial event which carries such a duality of outcome in the minds of its loyalists. Instant riches, versus a long term outlook of growth due to iraq's underground oil. The geopolitical turmoil in the last couple of years with sectarian violence and the rise of ISIS, coupled with internal political corruption and money laundering, has pretty much diminished the prospect of an over-night RV, in my opinion. I think the CBI is just trying to stay alive now. As dinar holders, these are frustrating times, but as long as iraq can remain an undivided sovereign nation, with its oil intact, it's currency, the Iraqi dinar, will remain a revalue prospect to investors. If iraq gets divided through UN intervention or other processes, then the Iraqi dinar that we hold will become tenuous at best, and obsolete, at worst. Hang in there. Enjoy each and every day that God gives you. Take time to thank Him for the simple blessings that we are so privileged to have, with OR without RV riches.

  36. Now that was prophetic, the FBI just announced today they recovered most or all of the 30k emails she claimed to have wiped. You know o is behind it. He gave her the token appointment in exchange for her support after he beat her down in '08, but the obama's and clintons have hated each other since day one. It's because they are both power hungry corrupted lying dolts. Like charges repel you know.. That snarky little last swipe really degraded my respect for Walker. That said, he probably hasn't had a decent night's sleep since days before the last "debate", and as the saying goes, "the bigger they are the harder they fall", he was fully expected to rocket to the top of the field, but flip flopped, vacillated, and misspoke on issues instead. I'm sure the personal humiliation he is feeling right is intense, too bad it was self-inflicted. I wonder, if Trump's whole purpose is just to slap the crap out of the field, yank them out of the tired old standard GOP lame response mode. No matter what, the ones floating to the top are definitely finding their backbone. Even Carson is learning how to charge.

A 2nd or 3rd grader strapped a 5" hunting knife to his belt and went to school with it! He slyly showed the other kids as he sat in his seat. One kid turned him in, and the teacher simply took it away from him. Then, she gave it back at the end of the day, telling him not to do it again!!! The parents never knew! (that I know of)... I thought I was so cool with that knife! Carry on Doc!

  44. Suspicious Pop-Tart guns versus scientific suitcase clocks By Jeannie DeAngelis In an effort to assuage what is perceived to be the fragile sensibilities of Muslim-Americans, Barack Obama has once again bowed to political correctness by extending his usual partiality toward an individual based solely on skin color and religion. This time, the person at the center of the controversy is Ahmed Mohamed. Ahmed is the 14-year-old Sudanese-American aspiring clockmaker who has proven to be bright enough to impress his teachers with his engineering prowess – but apparently not bright enough to know that bringing a homemade digital clock to school with wires snaking out of it, stored inside a suitcase (or briefcase, if you will), isn’t a good idea. As it turns out, Ahmed is also the son of Sufi Dallas imam Mohamed Elhassan, who once ran for the presidency in Sudan on the platform that, if elected, he would lift sanctions the U.S. imposed on Sudan in the late 1990s because of that nation’s alleged sponsorship of terrorism. Mr. Elhassan was also embroiled in controversy when he acted as a defense attorney on behalf of the Quran when Florida Pastor Terry Jones threatened to burn the Islamic holy book. Mohamed Elhassan, who calls himself a sheik, now has a son who in his own right has become an overnight social media sensation by managing to register on Barack Obama’s racial injustice radar. Despite young Ahmed being treated more respectfully than other children half his age who’ve been punished for doing things far less alarming than bringing a suitcase clock to class, in reaction to the school taking routine precautions concerning Ahmed’s science project, the Mohamed family is accusing the Irving, Texas school district of Islamophobia. One would think that since immigration has swelled the Muslim population in America to 6.2 million, the Mohameds would understand that because Ahmed is one of millions of Allah-loving students presently occupying desks in America’s classrooms, reprimanding their son doesn’t mean he’s being profiled. Nonetheless, unlike in the case of Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, who also had an affinity for wiring up and transporting household items, being a Muslim with a digital clock in a suitcase has served Ahmed well. For starters, Obama, who still hasn’t contacted Kate Steinle’s parents since their daughter was murdered by an illegal alien and felon in San Francisco, tweeted kudos to the studious teen. In the tweet, the would-be horologist got an invitation to bring the ticking timepiece to the same White House that goes into lockdown over suspicious-looking coffee cups. Above clock-making, Ahmed is being celebrated for his interest in science. As a matter of fact, in his laudatory tweet, President Obama, who also inspires young Iranians to take an interest in nuclear science, commended Mohamed for his technical expertise by implying that kids making clocks that look like suitcase bombs exemplify “what makes America great.” In addition to Obama’s invite, Ahmed also got a “like” from Facebook’s Mark Zuckerburg, was offered an internship at Twitter, and, after being pictured wearing a NASA t-shirt, was offered a summer scholarship at Space Camp USA in Alabama. However, what this love fest has yet to reveal is how an all-American kid like Ahmed’s detention for bringing a suspicious-looking suitcase to school may have successfully paved the way for children with Muslim-sounding names to avoid being questioned if, in the future, they too decide to pack a “cool clock” or a pressure cooker into their backpacks. Moreover, if liking science is an indicator of inspirational greatness, one can’t help but wonder why the president never commended young Josh Welch of Baltimore, Maryland for his exciting artistic expression. Instead, Josh, the seven-year-old who maintained that his Pop-Tart “gun” was just an attempt to fashion a breakfast food into a mountain range, was suspended from school for two days because, instead of the Grand Tetons, Josh’s creation resembled something that looked like a Glock 19. If only Josh had made a clock that looked like a Glock, President Obama might have invited him to the White House, too! Not likely. Then there’s six-year-old Rodney Lynch, also from Maryland. In 2013, around the time of his run-in with the law, Rodney was a big fan of cartoons. Seems the imaginative Mr. Lynch positioned his thumb and index finger into the shape of an “L.” Rodney’s design did not say “tick-tock” like Ahmed’s, but after molding his fingers into a gun, the tyke was heard uttering the word “Pow!” For that, and to ensure the school’s “sense of safety and security,” Rodney was suspended for a day and has yet to receive a tweet from the president. There’s also the case of the five-year-old Pennsylvania girl who, in a debate at the bus stop, insisted that princess bubble-blowers are superior to Hello Kitty bubble guns. When the princess bubble-blower girl suggested that the two friends test their claims by shooting each other with soapsuds, the barely-out-of-diapers five-year-old was accused of making a “terrorist threat,” mandated to attend counseling sessions with a therapist, and suspended for 10 days. In 2009, an 11-year-old student was arrested, thrown in jail, and charged with a third-degree felony for bringing a plastic butter knife to school. That same year, an eight-year-old Massachusetts boy was mandated to have psychological counseling for drawing a picture of Jesus on the cross while in school. Not so with Ahmed. After toting a homemade clock that looked like a suitcase bomb to school, the kid is a national hero, and the Irving Independent School District is under fire for investigating the digital clock in a suitcase as a potential threat. What ever happened to the Janet Napolitano-coined DHS motto “If you see something, say something?” At the end of the day, this isn’t about a presidential tweet or whether the authorities discriminated against a Muslim kid with an interest in science. The crux of the issue here is why schools’ “zero tolerance” safety policy suddenly has two different standards. Why, in the midst of the War on Terror, should a 14-year-old boy of Middle Eastern descent bringing a ticking circuit board to school in a metal suitcase be exempted from scrutiny?

  45. This is at the actual rate 400.000 dinars / 1166 = $ 343 a month If the CBI increase the exchange rate to $.01 400.000 dinars x $.01 = $ 4,000 a month I see and increase of the purchasing power. But if the CBI plan is to delete the 000, that is a different story.
