To my DinarVet Family, I hope you are all well and thank you all for your comments and support over the past several years! Effective immediately, I will be disconnecting to the Dinar world and focusing my energies in other areas of life that need attention. I have sacrificed a great deal over the last two years to this project and have enjoyed the ride, but the time has come for the ride to be over. With that said, I am eternally grateful for your consideration and kind comments in the past. I've been honored to provide data and work with everyone in the community. My hope is that it has helped you in some form or another. Also, I would like to extend my sincerest appreciation to Adam and his Moderators for allowing me to post my information and granting me time to discuss certain topics in chat. DinarVET's offers a tremendous venue for communicating this type of information and I am eternally grateful to them all. With that said, there's two statements for everyone to understand: WHY I BEGAN THIS VENTURE: When I first entered this research binge my goal has always been to HELP THE PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THIS INVESTMENT WITH FACTUAL INFORMATION. I wanted to provide information in a graphical format that was easy to understand, concise, and memorable for the general masses. There were innocent people being hurt badly by completely inaccurate information, solely for the purpose of inducing the purchase of more product. For the longest period, I didn't say anything in public while I watched these ORGANIZATIONS pull their stunts day in and day out with bogus statements. It didn't matter that they were fraudulently spewing information that was fabricated from thin air, but the people believed them and continued to over leverage themselves and purchase more product. Witnessing the damage done, I was compelled to get engaged and tried to provide basic data , timelines, critical benchmarks, and general information. NO MONETARY BENEFIT: I have NEVER received any monetary benefit for any of my work and I make it abundantly clear to all organizations up front that I will NEVER receive funds. Let me repeat, I have done this work voluntarily and I have never requested or received one penny!!! Part of the goal was to provide "CREDIBLE" information, not biased information driven by fiduciary commitments. I knew full well that credibility was the key and I made a commitment that I would never receive any benefit. Please don't misunderstand, I don't claim to know everything nor will I ever in the future, but I did have the capacity to engage in the debate. Knowing this, there's two primary reasons for making this move. One, I have dedicated hours upon hours on this project and I have simply neglected my duties as a father and husband. It will be very difficult not to become magnetized to the chat room and say hello, but it is necessary. Secondly, over the last two weeks there have been false accusations of wrongdoing made against me in manners that breached an ethical boundary for which I cannot ignore. My work is voluntary and a line was breached where it simply makes no sense to continue. I'm a big boy, and I can take a punch, but when ethical boundaries are broken, I'm a man that takes immediate action. In this case, it's pretty simple, I disconnect immediately and cease any and all work moving forward. I apologize if this causes any inconvenience but the vitriolic pattern of these attacks and almost STALKING like manner are simply not worth my time. Again, I wish all of you the best of luck in the future and I sincerely thank you for this experience!!! Best regards, Scooter

That was a GREAT speech!!! Thanks for sharing. Scooter

DV TEAM, I hope all is well and you are having a great day!!! Below are the images which provide the table of increases for the 2010 and 2011 Budgets. The 2011 Budget details should have been published in December but they are just now coming out. No surprises but when you review take a look at the rates/ratios on hard, long term durable goods. Essentially, the overall ratio between the AGREED amount and the PROPOSED increases comes in around $1.27, which is exactly where they told us it would be. That's not a rate so please don't interpret that statement that way. These numbers are merely ratios based on the Federal Government's projected expenses. Nevertheless, I hope you enjoy. I hope you have a great day and best regards, Scooter --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dalite and Drox, Two of my favorites seeking the truth -- can I play too? ha ha. Below is an image taken recently from PriceWatterhouse Coopers recent audit of the DFI Fund. Drox, you are correct in that their cash equivalents as of December 31, 2010 was just over the $7.5 Billion and the invested monies in the treasury bills has not reached maturation so we don't know how quickly those yields can be monetized into liquid funds -- I hope I said that correctly. Secondly, the frozen assets has been a hard one to track, particularly since the only real information comes from congressional hearings from back in 2002 and 2003. Nevertheless, here's some information to pontificate and I'll reach out to Dalite with an email later this afternoon to setup a call -- just have some appointments right now. Have a great afternoon and best regards, Scooter

Chuckst3r, I am grateful and honored by your tenacity to seek the truth!!! I think we need more cross examination of statements that can't be backed up with supporting material. With that said, there's two items that you should know: The audience wasn't privy to the pre-show bantering between Charlie, Brad, and myself. Nor were they present when Rudy called me two hours prior and asked me to come on this evening's show, whereby I was sarcastically harassing him for being on Fox news with Hannity and O'Reilly and didn't have time for us little people. It was all in joking fun but then Brad brought that up during the show, and we all thought Rudy had entered and was online to respond. I must admit that I was caught off guard when Brad was serious and thought this actually did occur, particularly when I was the one that brought it up to Rudy earlier in the day. As I said, I committed to find out and communicate back to you with the truth!!! And, I will! Secondly, CREDIBILITY is like TIME and there's a shortage of it in the DinarWorld! It's something I take very seriously and I'm glad you do as well because it's very important to the membership here at the VETS. I'm very particular about where I post my material or do interviews. With that said, I can assure you that you won't find a more credible site than DinarVets!!! It stems from a top-notch organization from its founder, the Moderators, and that culture flows over to the membership. The culture breeds credibility and trust and that's why I've narrowed my posting to two sites and DinarVets is one of them. Everybody is approachable, knowledgeable, and can be very OUTSPOKEN when required but you won't find a better TEAM that seeks the truth!!! Nevertheless, I hope that helps and I look forward to hearing more from you in the future. Best regards, Scooter

Honestly, I don't think he was on the air with O'Reilly but I will definitely find out for you tomorrow. I thought Brad was joking around at the time but I'll let you know -- sorry for the confusion. Have a great night, Scooter

To whom it may concern: First, thank you for the post! To make my position perfectly clear, I have never, nor will I EVER in the future taken one dime or been affiliated with any one group or organization that has a side agenda. I may get asked for an interview from one group or another, but I am NOT member or have a fiduciary responsibility to any group. I am an independent investor which attempts to provide factual data in my post and add my opinions based on those data points. Please forgive my tone but I wanted to make that perfectly clear. I understand the frustration with many statements from the so called experts as it was these exact statements that compelled me to act with many of my post. With that said, it's America, bash away as much as you like, but I will respond when somebody knocks on my character and ethics. I'm a big boy and can take verbal punches but if it questions my ethics or character I will respond. I hope this doesn't offend anyone but that's my statement. Again, thank you for the post and I look forward to speaking with you all very soon. Best regards, Scooter

What's wrong with his name? I kind of like it!!! Welcome to the VET!!! Just curious, do you like doing Chats? ha ha --- just kidding. If you have any questions, please don't hessitate to ping me. Best, Scooter

To the person I just accidentally REPORTED, please accept my apologies. Heck, I don't even know what the REPORT button does but I accidentally hit it while reviewing responses on my phone -- fat fingers, little buttons with high sensitivity. Not sure which response I reported but i can assure you that it was an accident and I will explain to the MOD's. Sorry for the interruption but I wanted to get ahead of a problem before it got worse. I hope you have a great evening, Scooter

Thanks for the post!!! Here's another location that has great details as well, particularly since they help define the banking system with Shabs since 2006. The first link is the location of all the technical reports regarding their banking sector and the second is an overview of Iraqs banking sector. Tijara - US Aid -- Technical Reports An Overview of Iraq's Banking System --- If you do anything, read the first two pages about the history as it's very cool stuff!!! Again, thanks for the post and keep the information flowing!!! Best, Scooter
