The rethoric is high, people are saying they have 'had enough' of President Obama and his polocies that much I agree with. But rethoric is not votes. Not everyone who spouts off at the mouth, will go to the polls to vote. President Obama will be re-elected with a slim margin. But slim is all he needs. I wish there was enough 'fire in the belly' of the American people but there just isn't. If it were today, and the British were passing the stamp act all over again. There wouldn't be enough people to throw the 'tea overboard' in the boston harbor. That's how bad it is out here in the real world.

Mr. President, We Have Had Enough. The rethoric in the title sounds impressive. But the truth is : 'there is not enough will power left in the American people to make a change". President Obama will be re-elected with a slim vote. The is not enough 'fire" in the belly of the American people to even want change. They are prepared to continue on with high debt (even though the financial house is crumbling all around them), high gas prices (it's not gotten high enough for the american people to bother with seeking a solution), high un=employment (down a little now, but it is about to rise higher and higher again soon), and high cost of government. It's time for the American people to throw the "tea in the boston harbor "again. To say no to some of these ridicioulous government ways. To say "no" and mean it.

Hope to join you in Chat room today, Very little news about Iraq other than the bombings do we read in the American newspapers. Is there a source online where we can go to see the 'on the grounds' verifyiable news about what is really happening in Iraq. And especially with the Dinars.

I believe the quote is: "Don't count your chickens before they hatch". Meaning you can never tell for certain how many chickens will hatch. But elections are different. While we are in the incubation period of this election we've already determined some 'eggs' won't hatch. The egg marked 're-elect obama' is well protected and he will emerge as the only surviving hatchling.

With Scooters work, it is always an interesting read. Thanks again Scooter.

Frank’s CC Notes 5.22.2012 The CBI is working their plan…with the Authors of the Plan Frank says watch the change of language and wording in the articles. When they came out yesterday stating they would “alter” 3 weeks ago the meetings, Shabibi, AoP and WB Fireflies heard words and that’s what we tell you. They are going to describe things in a different way. About 3 days to see these new words. Watermelon, it’s been over a month. 2 years ago the WB said they would sponsor the IQD. What have they been doing for the past month and a half? Frank says they have been “Sponsoring” the IQD. If the WB has been in Iraq for 5 weeks; talking with Shabibi; who are they telling? Maliki says Frank. The AoP wants him to know what’s going on. Maliki then passes the info to the GOI…tactfully. Timing! It’s truly amazing…isn’t it? Iraqiya TV is talking about it. The CBI, WB, GOI. The WB is helping with the deletion of the three zeros. Pardon. HELPED. They are helping the CBI with the deletion of “other” zeros. When the law was passed to lift the three zeros; we are waiting now for the deletion of the zeros from the exchange rate. The last three zeros. The timing is interesting. It draws our attention. It is possible we believe that the WB will be there when they announce the RV. If they leave, we will follow and find out why. But we think they will be there when they release the rate and the lower denoms and watch. Why and how did the CBI collect 3.5 trillion dinar in one month? Auctions. Who did that? Why was it done? Why is the UN involved in the meetings and financial committee? Why are the tariff laws being moved a little bit to sync with the timing? Why do they mention on TV that that they are working hand in hand to raise the three zeros. Why is the IMF interested in the WB in Iraq? The CBI is taking inventory of all of their banks in the country. Warka being helped by the CBI. The timing of all of this is seriously amazing! On June 15th chapter 7 should be lifted, says Frank. Before June 15th the rate should be released. If not, delays are productive! The campaign promise of having the troops coming back… O comes out to say we will support the EURO. What? Have you seen our deficit? Are you about to balance the deficit??? It is strongly possible, highly possible, if there is a delay, look for low rates to come out one after the other in this year of 2012. We Americans buy IQD; it forces Iraqis to buy IQD… by not using it, holding on to it. Citizens can go in and get hard cash; the dollar. Hording IQD. Interesting says Frank. IQX complained today that the IQD needs value it’s damaging the IQX they say. Delta and Frank told us yesterday that the inflation core rate is at 13+%. It’s Ridiculous and dangerous. Week from tomorrow Frank will open up to us. Frank goes to prepare something. Today they show us inflation at 6.7%. NO says Frank. Double that rate! At 6.7% there is no reason to lift the 3 zeros. But at double that. YES! They show us the urgency of lifting the 3 zeros. They can’t hide the truth of this. The timing is amazing! Parliament is very curious now. The CBI can do what they want. But when we saw that the CBI handed over to the Rafidan and Rasheed banks the auctions to make profit. Shabibi is working with the WB for a good reason. Know what it is? Anybody’s guess? They can sell hard cash currency to anyone in Iraq. They can sell the dollar. But when they sell it they don’t sell it at 1166 but at 1190. This is a big profit. The CBI is giving this up??? Soon all the banks can sell hard cash. Why? 2 days ago they did this? Why? The CBI is no longer interested in making chump change. They are about to make serious money. The state banks can have the chump change. Wire transfers will still occur to the banks from the CBI. Frank says all the conditions for Chapter 7 have been exceeded and now we wait for Iraq to be released from it. Frank sends some shouts out to everyone he talked to today Frank and Jesus share stories with the family…about family. Frank sings and prays to end the call.

American politics has been a struggle from day one of it's founding. Men and now women seize political power by talking a 'big game' filled with empty promises. When was the last time a politician delievered on a promise. Obama campaigned on theme of 'change', what Americans forgot to ask "what kind of change are you talking about"? With every President we get 'change' but not necessarily the kind we need. The hard fought for freedoms of this land, were not designed to make us all 'servants' of the government. Government was designed to protect and defend every American citizen, not to make every American citizen a slave to it.

This guy, like many in America, has no moral integerity. Men and women alike do what is 'pleasure for the moment" without caring what the consequences may be. These 11 mothers are just as quilty as he for bringing these babies into the world. However, the Mothers are stepping up to care for the little ones, and they shoulder the 'consequences' of their behaviour. Instead of reducing his support payments, they should up the requirement, and make the man work for the state until the last child is 21. He should be made to live off the $1.49 a month and the rest go for his children's support.

Didn't or does Octo-mom get support.

To prove my point made at the beginning of the thread, just look at the responses here. Not enough fire to burn a candle. Over 1600 views and 42 responses. Too much apathy in America about the political system and the Presidential race to get any major movement going.

Hey Keep,: If you get any more negative points you will be treading water on the bottom of the ocean. (Ha,Ha). I'll send you a positive to keep you closer to the top.

Guess Frank doesn't have as many mods helping him as Adam. We always get the transcript minutes after the chat is over. I tried to log on that night, got the cam but couldn't tell what was being said. I like reading the transcripts better.

Adam, what if anything of signifiance has happened this week that moves us closer to the RV of the Dinar?

....

Every four years politicians scramble- ideas, philosophy,and cheap talk, to convience voters to relect them. And for the most part it usually works. Politicians do not tell you what their real agenda is. They simply try to tell us what we need and they will provide it. However hidden deep within their desire for election is a clear path to power and control. Throughout history, from Kings, to dictatotors , to run-a -muck democracies, the key to power is to hold the people under. Make them obligated to those in power. Big government means big control. Big debt means big control. Higher taxes means more control. Services provided under the guise of higher taxes, and big government is less sufficient compared to those in the private sector. The President is not the only one we need to hold accountable. Senate and House and Judicial Courts are responsible for the mess we are in. They bribe, deceive, and conive to get relected. They've chiseled down at the foundation of American democracy until all we have left are a few stones. And do you really think 2012 is going to change any of that?

I understand your frustration. I still hold to the fact that not enough Conseratives, Independents, and so-called Republicans are fire-up enough to get out and vote. My Grandpa use to sit on the court square and talk politics with a few good men, while they whittled away the cedar stick . Talking against and for all the good and bad in the country. At the end of the day nothing solved, or resolved to make a change. Next day, there they were again. Talking same ole stuff. That's kinda what you hear in all this 'political speech making' going on. obama is a talker..... not a game changer.... but he welds enough power in his hand to whittle away at all our freedoms, while the good men do nothing. Your right, I've never been polled, and the vast majority of 'good ole men' in America haven't either. The back woods, and end of the trail, living by most Americans leaves them too far from the voting poll to warrent a drive into to town to cast a single vote. They would die on the 'back porch' protecting what is theirs, but won't come out of the woods, or travel the dusty trail to help their neighbor protect his. How in the world do you think all these laws, taxes, tarriffs, codes, got passed in the first place. We send to Washington the same people who run the local political machine, expecting them to make laws and changes for our good. You got to be kidding. It's all written in the history books..... (opps... I forgot they are busy re-writing history.... so that we don't really know what happened anymore). All the "MR. SMITH GOES TO WASHINGTON"......BUNCH have quit trying. When the election is over, and Obama is re-elected. I'll be here to say, "I told you so".

There are not enough Conseratives or Independents or Republicans fire-ed up enough to stop it. Just look at the nomination process. There haven't been enough voters turning out to make a stink of a difference. Boat load of money is being spent pretending to be ready to step and change America, but it won't happen in this election. What do you think??

Thanks Heavyduty053, will pass the info along.

Looking for treatment for inflamed hemroids. It's not a personal problem but for a relative.

Thanks for the post , love to read Bondlady's thoughts.

I would like to respectively respond to your comments. Yes, God is LOVING... He is filled with so much love that He sent his One and Only Son to become man in order to die in our place. That tells me how much he loves and how awful sin is that it would require the death of God's Only begotton Son. Our eternal destiny is made by the choice we make in this life (either to believe and follow or to reject and plot our own path). No amount of praying after death by friends and relatives no matter how well intended, can change the course of one's chosen eternal destiny. You can have a thousand people to pray but it wouldl make no difference. Now to answer the lady's cry for help about her sister in law. Yes, mental state is a factor. And no one but God can understand the true mental state of a human being. Though her life may have been taken by her own means, only God can judge whether or not the taking of one's life was a result of total rejection of God, or under the pressure she was under. I would take solace in the fact that God is fair, loving, just, and understanding about all our circumstances. The God of the Universe will do what is right.

Firm believe in use of ACV, check out The BRAGG company website for all kinds of remedies.. Best recommendation is 2 tablespoons ACV in 8 oz glass of water before each meal.

Back Porch News: Relief from common cold. No one really knows what causes the common cold. But my grandmammy had a simple cure. Whenever the symptoms of a CC appeared she would eat 5-6 green onion. One after the other. Green leaves especially. And the cold never got worse. In recent years I too have tried this remedy: I have eaten a bunch of green onions after suffering with common cold for 3 or 4 days and within the hour I could tell it was working. Now I've learned to start eating green onions immediately at the onset of a cold.

NBC -- Monday nights this Fall-- check out the previews. What do you think?? Looks interesting, I plan to watch first few episodes to see where it leads.

Dinar Intel Yesterday Frank imparted to us that Shabibi spoke for two days in a row Monday and Tuesday. If he talked today, whoa, hold on to your hats. But unfortunately he did not come out today and speak again unfortunately. Would have been great to see him speak for 3 days in a row, but he didn’t. Frank will read one of his SK’s posts to us; By Memphis » May 9th, 2012, 6:53 am • Some thoughts after re-reading several articles from this week... 1) it is clear that Barzani has a grudge against Maliki. His motivations IMO are not to a unified Iraq but a separate state. Talibani is supportive of Maliki and the National Alliance is genuine in their desire to settle matters and "implement" them. I do NOT see Maliki being voted out. His defiance of the "15 day" deadline seems to say something. I believe he has a plan and the louder his detractors YELL, the more expectant I am to actually see the evidence.... 2) I suspect that much of the news on the GOI is [largely] meant to draw our attention. Some of the articles are redundant at best and meaningless at worst. Even those with merit often contradict what I believe to be the truth at times. If we then re-direct our eyes towards the CBI, things can be made to L@@K like they are about to do something....big. For a few months now Dr S has been largely silent. It seems that he is currently taking centre stage in matters. Further, it seems that everywhere he goes, he has an entourage' of World Bank 'dignitaries' at his side....why is this? I doubt any of us can properly estimate what is happening at present that we have no clue to... 3) We went for most of 2011 with very little news on the CBI's project. In the past 6 months they have overwhelmed us with news. On this point, why is it that article affer article is released with the language easily understandable with little head scratching required but EVERYTIME they speak of matters related to the 'project' the language suddenly becomes difficult and at times nearly impossible to make sense of? If I were paranoid I would conclude this is done intentionally just to frustrate me... yes it is says Frank. 4) Things are being told to the citizens on TV that show immediacy and they TOLD US they would be doing this just prior to the RV. 5) The UN operation rate of exchange SDR for Iraq is yet to be updated for 2012. This is a huge break in pattern. The 2012 budget is not only NOT published but not even spoken of. This is beyond curious. Frank inserts that it’s not all that unusual for Iraq. Is it the AoP that is delaying this until the GOI grows up? Perhaps… Is there a deadline to meet? Don’t know. Is Maliki feeling pressure and fear of losing his power? Likely. 6) Chapter 7 seems likely to be lifted in June as it has....momentum. [Frank interjects that Chapter 7 can be lifted at any moment. They have already lifted the 3 zeros back in 3rd week of Jan.] Tariffs seems certain to be enforced by July 1st. [Frank inserts that only if they receive Chapter 7]. [Frank says they need to be seated and organized, grown up just the way the AoP wants them to be before they have control of a rate Shabibi holds on to a protects. Then you will see the tarrifs. Otherwise, they are pointless without Chapter 7; without the evidence of Chapter 7’s release. Entering article 8 which mandates they are to use only their own currency. Why do you think all of these nations are placing themselves into position to jump in to Iraq? They know that Iraq is about to walk into Article 8. This is huge for them as investors. This is why we saw the EU sign the contract with Iraq. The EU’s signature is huge. These are international companies with international business; about to deal with a non-international currency???] They are even holding symposiums on the subject now! Iraq is signing big contracts this week, most notably with the EU. They face [daily] many problems that will go "poof" affer the RV.... 7) I expect to see the RV not later than the end of June. I will not be easily moved from this conviction. My biggest motivation from today forward will be L@@King for evidence that my current position is wrong. I will be attempting [with all my might] to prove my own opinion wrong. I hope I fail..... Frank hopes Memphis fails as well. Frank leaves on June 1st to arrive to a place to set things up. God willing we will meet him there very soon. If it turns out that Frank must return to open the office, he will. Frank is prepared to return at a moment’s notice. Understand, the lifting of the three zeros has qualified them for removing Chapter 7. The AoP doesn’t want to give it to them yet until they get the GOI in order. And that is what Maliki is working on right now. We believe we are going to be surprised next week with some news that Maliki is going to announce about ministers and Allawi’s position and Erbil and many different things. In the interim it is wise to go about our daily lives as best we can. Frank thanks Watchman for his post on Frank-Dodd Act; SK’s for all their hard work and input and posts; Mugsbuttons for his respectful ranting and leadership; Iggy and Randy for their posts. 66GTO for helping someone Keep the Faith a little longer. AddcentsPR for his T-shirts. Greenhouse who posted. MarianneTodd for negative and positive, respectful postings. AngelicLove61 – Frank noticed your posted analogy. Monday Shabibi comes out and he talks. That was a shock. We know what he said as Frank went over this Monday and Tues. night. But then yesterday, not his aid; but Shabibi comes out, the ball being volleyed back to the court side of the CBI; what did Shabibi say yesterday? Anyone remember? He asked the GOI for the report on the study of the lifting of the 3 zeros. Frank went crazy. This was great. Did he get it? Frank looked for it; something from Shabibi that might have said thank you GOI but today Frank saw something close to it. The Financial Committee submitted a proposal to the CBI and to Shabibi. Really? What was this proposal? They wanted to take the 60 billion to stabilize the IQD. Shabibi says no way Jose. Shabibi says, they don’t need to. Don’t need to? No? Why? What? You think I would tell you that we lifted the three zeros and stabilized it already. What are you silly? Of course not. Ask me another question. Ok. Why are you not going to take our proposal that we have in our report about the lifting of the three zeros to include 60 billion to stabilize the IQD Shabibi? Because I have already lifted the three zeros and took care of that issue. Don’t worry about it. I got this. Oh ok. You see family; there is no way we are going to be told these things in the articles. It’s fifty-two pickup. This whole week will likely be chaos until about Monday. You see they should tell us on Sunday but they wait until Monday. It’s interesting. We should learn more Sunday or Monday about the report that Shabibi asked for back from the GOI to give. It seems to be some hint today that he received it. If it’s just a hint then we won’t be told anymore until later and will be disarray until that time. You see tomorrow is Thursday; they will work. Friday they don’t do anything. Saturday, by the time they get up the day is gone. Sunday it takes so much caffeine to get motivated and they don’t seem to accomplish much on Sundays. So we don’t usually see things until Monday. That’s kind of their pattern says Frank. It’s rather crazy. Memphis is on the call. He wishes to make clear that he is not precluding that we can’t, won’t or could not see this in May. In fact, we could very well see the RV occur this month, but no later than the end of June. Memphis is excited about this article that came out from the Finance Committee. He feels with it coming out; he has enough material to have something worthwhile to say. He’s going to do a late night post on this meeting with the Financial Committee. The words he highlighted in orange; look at the time scale. They are not talking about September; they are not talking about 2013. Very good says Frank. Frank says, some of you think it’s going to come later. But you see, in September is when they are going to introduce the 100 and 200 dinar notes. Why would they introduce new double zeros, when they are trying to get rid of double and triple zeros from your currency? By lifting the rate. They need the rate. July. Tarrifs. They need the rate! They talk about January 2013 to release all the other lower denominations; they had better introduce the rate and have removed all the three zeros form my hands before they introduce the lower denoms. Yes they can coexist for a short period of time; otherwise they will have severe inventory and accounting issues. Frank says to Memphis that he wants for him to put Memphis’ voice and Frank’s trip and correlate them…as one. Memphis says he hope’s Frank’s trip is interrupted. Frank says he hopes so too. Frank says, the kind of things we are seeing right now, never happened in ’04, ’05, ’06, ’07, ’08… Frank has studied what happened with Kuwait from ’91 – ’99. Frank didn’t know he could buy the Kuwaiti dinar. He thought it was illegal to buy it. The only reason some had it was because they were businessman or soldiers over there who found out about it. Frank says we didn’t have the right to buy it. Why is it that the President of the US, Jr. who listened to the examples of Sr. during those years, but this time allowed US citizens to participate in this Marshal Plan? You learn from your successes and failures. From ’91 to ’99 we balanced our budget. And now we are how many trillions in deficit but yet our gov’t comes out and says we have a surplus of 58 billion??? Frank says, how many chess pieces have been moved on the chess board to make one say, wait, why did you make that move? None of your business; now make your move. Edjin comes on the call and speculates on the movements of the dates of the tariff law enactment is moving around, yet moving around and coming closer to our time frame. Frank says, yes his Team has also been speculating on this but didn’t feel it enough to really speak on. But Team feels it is because Talibani is positioning a time for the National Conference and this is probably why we see the movement in the dates of the tariffs coming online. Both of these dates are hovering in the shadows currently and we won’t see them settle until Talibani announces the date. This is Frank’s Team’s opinion. Frank you say the three zeros have been lifted. Yes. Then why don’t we see the RV. It’s because the AoP are not pleased with what they are seeing in the GOI. That’s why now that the GOI has been requested of CBI; give me the report I requested to approve the lifting of the three zeros. Are we in harmony? Are we in coordination? Are you going to do what that report says? You’re not going to overspend; you’re not going to steal from the budget. You’re not going to ask for more. You’re not going to use other currencies and on and on. We’ve seen the budget but we haven’t seen the rate released that is in the budget. The AoP is no longer pleased with their Parliament. They are not under the rule of the British monarchy. They can become a democracy.
