  1. Wow Chase and Fifth third are where I have always banked and I called both of the local branches and neither one of them have spreads for their account holders....Only the normal one for the buy and sell coming from CBI. When I ordered dinar from citizens and it goes through boa I lost right off the bat as they charged a spread just in selling the dinar or exchanging if you will. I will not be going through BOFA at all. Maybe you had better shop around. Worth having another option for cashing in even in banks..Plus it can't hurt to have more than one account with those large amounts to spread out just a bit. You can always open the account on the day you go to cash what ever amount.
  2. Wow wonderful response so far, ty you can set up contact information and I know the amount will be per the RV so I do not expect any pledges at this time but please if you are interested show your support on here but contact me, I have a email I use for business. rivertitus@yahoo.com feel free if it is related to this.
  3. Hello Dinar Vets people. I like many others have so many ideas on how to help others once this RV's. Many speak of helping Veterans, homeless, etc. I use Hulu to watch shows recorded for my convenience as so many do and tonight I watched Extreme Home makeover and it was on the Oregon School for the deaf. Here is the link to the show. During this show they spoke several times of the School for the Blind being closed. I did a little research on this and found it to be true. Open from February 26, 1873 until July 2009. I know also that many are looking for Tax deductions as well as the ability to do something good. I propose we build a new school for the blind in Oregon. Most all states have a school for the deaf and the blind and many combined in one campus. Oregon does not. I currently own a 501C3 and am willing to head this task and see it through. I at the same time would love to step aside and let Adam head this up if he chooses and I am still willing to over see this project until completed being there in Oregon in person. I furthermore think this would be a great opportunity to take Dinar Vets to a higher plane and a permanent place in history. IE the school donated by the Dinar Vets. Adam Montana and every contributors name in a plaque in the schools entrance. This would require land, building, materials, computers, etc. Once this is Rv'd I have only a couple of matters to attend to in just a few weeks and then I am single and free to go where ever I choose. I choose this should there be enough to do so. If anyone wishes to form a trust, provide an accountant to oversee this, what ever I do not need to control anything. I am willing to just be the one to be there and see it through freeing up the rest of you. I know many of you do not have much in dinar such as me but I do have time and devotion that I can contribute. Lets show the world that money does not mean greed and lets show that this is the best group of investors in the United States of America. Should this come to fruition and monies left over from this project then we can take whats left and tend to Veterans who fought in Iraq that are homeless and with disabilities. These blind kids were from Kindergarten to 12th grade. Now they fight the battles of mainstream in public schools and many struggle and some of their needs are never met. These are children and need our help. I wish to help them. Anyone who can help with the organization of this please jump in. I am open to any suggestions. I can not do this alone.

  4. He has to be excited, his new book, interviews, everything yes I agree. Thankyou vets. Also just an FYI I do not know anything about this date to come but about a week ago I was given from a source outside of DV to watch todays date and Dec 7th...So who knows this day may bring nothing but was told to watch it. Just sharing
  5. SteveI if you need it you just fly over and pick Marineonwatch and myself up and you will have your own gunners onboard your plane lol we can escort you and all that dinar your plane has stashed away. lol ;)
  6. Something needs to be done about that. Whats good for us is good enough for anyone.
  7. I am by no means a writer so this is just from the heart. My feelings. That's all. I think those who have served will certainly understand this and this is just how I feel... So here goes. No applause please, just dinar lol.. What is a Veteran When a young man or woman joins the military they rarely think of the fact that they too will one day become a veteran. No one joins the military to become a veteran. Some join for the job, the adventure, or to tour the world. Some join for the educational benefits or simply because they see no future in anything else. An escape, some even with the hopes of never having to see any action at all. They simply have nothing else. It all begins to change though when they have served their time be it a single hitch or a lifetime commitment. Once a Soldier, Marine, Sailor, or Airmen, something inside that individual begins to change, allthough they themselves do not even see it, feel it, or hear it. It simply happens. A Veteran is more than a citizen, but no longer a citizen at all. A veteran gives his all, seldom asks for anything in return. Yet he is ridiculed and discarded by the citizens of his own country. Too often spit upon or shouted warmonger, to be polite. A Veteran can fit in anywhere if necessary, but yet a Veteran never fits in anywhere at all. A Veteran is one that can see the forest for the trees, he can see the beauty all around him, but yet to often no one can see the beauty within him. He is an outcast, his sense of humor is different, his sense of humor is changed. A Veteran is one who has to now stand by as he ages and watch either in approval or dissaproval, he is no longer a solder and now has little voice. A Veteran is a Hero, a Warrior. He served with the courage and strength to defend his battle buddy and protect the freedoms back home, that is what it takes to make a hero bleed. A Veteran salutes when the flag is flown, he stand in honor. He places his hand over his heart when the pledge is said. He cries when a soldier dies, though one he had never known. A Veteran never rest until his days are done, once you serve for all be free, he can never be at peace in this world again. For he is never off Duty. A Veteran will forever give thanks and praise to the fallen and disabled. A veteran longs for the needy, he has gone without. Cries for the wounded, he has felt pain. Understands mental stress or depression, hell he's a Vet. "Being a Veteran is earned, not learned" "Many bled, many died, why were the weary ones just kicked aside?" I am sorry if I have left something out, after all, I'm just a Vet. GOD BLESS AMERICA Happy Veterans day. Please please RV lol.
  8. Excellent post strongtower, My first duty in the USN was Subron so familiar with them a little lol It is very possible at any given time. We have things why can't they? It is all possible and yes I too feel very close to something soon.

  10. http://china-defense.blogspot.com/2010/11/california-missile-launch-hunt-for-red.html Tuesday, November 09, 2010 California Missile Launch: The Hunt for Red November? <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/__rQoK9r_ycs/TNnI2jdHrBI/AAAAAAAAACY/togB17MNeYU/s1600/13468118_SA.jpg"> Xinhui has been recalled to Zhongnanhai for urgent consultations so I'm filling in today. By now you should have heard that a missile was launched yesterday from 35 miles off the coast of California. The launch took place during the Los Angeles afternoon rush hour, and was spectacularly filmed by a local news chopper. As of now the US Government has not claimed responsibility, nor have there been any of the usual subtle indications of a classified US "Black Program" launch. Eventually it may be determined to have been a rogue rocketry hobbyist, startup suborbital delivery company, or even an inadvertent US launch. Until then we are going to do what we do best at CDF and apply some educated speculation to the possibility of Chinese involvement. So let's take the leap and assume for purposes of discussion that this was a PLAN sub-launched ballistic missile from the California coast directed towards open ocean. What's the message? To Mr. Obama: "Don't get too friendly with the Indians, they aren't going to counterbalance us anytime soon. " To USN: "You want freedom of passage in our South China Sea EEZ for your military? Now we sail in yours. By the way, you better start spending money on anti-submarine defense of the US coastline again, hope you can afford it." To US Federal Reserve Bank: "When you agitate your loan shark by habitually making bad decisions with money, they may be kind enough to send you a warning message before they kneecap you." Is it more likely an SSBN or SSB? My thoughts are that the USN has PLAN SSBN under constant surveillance, but the PLAN 200 GOLF-class or a new 039B SSB(?) could sneak away. There was some internet chatter about the 039B launched in September not being the first one. Perhaps most telling will be: What is the total expenditure on delivery pizza at NORTHCOM and PACOM HQ for the past 24hrs? Interestingly, there was a Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) filed for Los Angeles' Point Mugu Warning Area W-537, AFTER the launch. This NOTAM is active for today, the day after the witnessed launch. KZLA LOS ANGELES A2832/10 – THE FOLLOWING RESTRICTIONS ARE REQUIRED DUE TO NAVAL AIR WARFARE CENTER WEAPONS DIVISION ACTIVATION OF W537. IN THE INTEREST OF SAFETY, ALL NON-PARTICIPATING PILOTS ARE ADVISED TO AVOID W537. IFR TRAFFIC UNDER ATC JURISDICTION SHOULD ANTICIPATE CLEARANCE AROUND W537 AND CAE 1176. CAE 1155 WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE FOR OCEANIC TRANSITION. CAE 1316 & CAE 1318 WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE FOR OCEANIC TRANSITION. CAE 1177 WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR OCEANIC TRANSITION. W537 ACTIVE, CAE 1176 CLOSED. SURFACE – FL390, 09 NOV 20:00 2010 UNTIL 10 NOV 01:00 2010. CREATED: 08 NOV 20:52 2010 Submarines can.
  11. Cocked, locked and ready to rock!
  12. This just came to me in a EMAIL told to get it public, Do not know how true or not but I trust the person that sent it to me so here it is. A person from mainland China has contacted us to report that the apparent missile launch off the coast of California was actually an ICBM test launch from a next-generation submarine that came within 50 miles of the US coastline, undetected. We present the content of this person's email for our members to analyze and discuss. Yesterday evening, we received an interesting "contact us" email through our website contact form. We get several emails a day, most are related to people wanting to advertise on ATS, as well as new users with log-in issues. However, in any given week there are a dozen or so with information that the sender hopes will be posted. The vast majority of emails that contain such information are either already being discussed on ATS, or exceptionally dubious in nature. Once in a while, we get something very interesting, and share it with our members, clearly this is one of those times. Here is the full content of the email we received: SUBJECT: pacific missile information i am work at xin hau and am with trouble as result what i find this day and worried. we read you website often here for the reason not blocked for this office now. we discover you missile near california was what we know to be a message missile from best new submarine of our navy. message is to you that navy we can come close to you shore with submarine not detected and shoot a atomic missile where we want to. you military does know this but not say. we find this today and much worried for you. and you can maybe get information to people so many do know truth. Prior to making this public, our staff have performed some preliminary analysis: 1) The IP Address: For the purposes of expectation of privacy, we would never share the recorded IP address of people who use our contact form (it's included in the email body as a result of the coding of our contact form). That being said, the IP does indeed trace back to servers operated by the "XINHUA" news agency in China. Additionally, we cannot "sense" an open proxy at the IP address. 2) Spelling/Syntax: The author apparently misspelled the name of their employer, "xin hau." Additionally, the sentence structure/syntax is either someone for whom english is not their native language, or, someone trying to pretend english is not their native language. Perhaps our members can help determine if the misspelling and syntax is typical of a Chinese national. 3) Propaganda: One possible explanation for this contact, assuming it may be genuine in source, is that it's an attempt to spread sensational propaganda by someone on the staff of the official news agency of the Chinese government. Why attempt to use ATS? We have no idea. 4) Joke: We can assume that ordinary people the world-over have a sense of humor. There is a strong possibility that someone working at XINHUA is simply playing a joke on ATS. 5) Hoax: While we have not been able to determine if the IP address can be exploited as a proxy, many proxy servers can be short-lived. There could be a strong possibility that someone discovered the open proxy and is attempting to hoax ATS. 6) Real: This email, in combination with the weeks of discussion related to "something big" happening in early November (including a nuclear false flag), and in combination with an apparent missile launch in Arizona, stack up to coincidences that may deserve closer examination. If this email represents someone acting on a crisis of conscience, and attempting to inform a source they hope will "spread the word," then something big is indeed happening in early November. No matter the implications or resulting conclusions, we felt this email represented several possibilities that should be discussed by our members. We open it up for you to to so.
  13. lol thats too funny, Like someone hit her with an UGLY STICK................................AGAIN lol
  14. Indonesia's pious information minister, Tifatul Sembiring, is in hot water for touching the hand of First Lady Michelle Obama, in what he describes as forced contact. The politician flaunts his conservatism as a Muslim and claims to avoid touching women who aren't family members, the Associated Press reports. Indonesia -- which has the world's largest Islamic population, the vast majority moderate -- had been debating how to handle encounters between the first lady and observant Muslim officials far in advance of the Obamas' arrival in the country Monday. Sembiring sought to deflect criticism by claiming Tuesday's skin-to-skin contact was all Michelle Obama's fault. "I tried to prevent [being touched] with my hands but Mrs. Michelle held her hands too far toward me [so] we touched," Tifatul Sembiring explained on his Twitter page (according to a translation provided in the AP report). Some local observers laughed at that idea, and one female reporter gleefully said he wouldn't be able to avoid shaking her hand anymore, AP reported. Video of the moment does seem to contradict Sembiring's characterization of the encounter -- but you be the judge. The video is below: Sembiring was part of a group of Indonesian dignitaries who greeted the Obamas in a receiving line when they arrived in Jakarta. Most Indonesian Muslims hew to more moderate versions of the faith that permit casual contact between the sexes. As a result, some Indonesians have assailed Sembiring's rationale for the handshake, suggesting that it's an example of conservative Muslim hypocrisy to excuse the sort of conduct that he readily castigates in others. The minister has blamed natural disasters on moral failings and has joked about AIDS, the Associated Press reports. Regional handshake kerfuffle aside, the visit is a big deal in Indonesia, where President Obama spent much of his childhood. According to the Associated Press, "Indonesians gathered around television sets across the country to watch the American president touch down. Children at the school he attended practiced a song dedicated to him just in case he visited." In public statements, Obama has likewise stressed the importance of the visit for him. "It's wonderful to be here, although I have to tell you that when you visit a place that you spent time in as a child as the president, it's a little disorientating," he told reporters Tuesday morning. The president and first lady will spend roughly 24 hours in the country, hoping to improve ties with the Muslim world and open up opportunities for American businesses. Click image to see photos of Michelle Obama touring India and Indonesia AP/Adi Weda But Obama definitely appears to have his work cut out for him. Over the past several days, the presidential visit has sparked widespread protests from Muslims in the region. "We don't see the differences between Obama and Bush -- they both oppress Muslims, they both have blood on their hands," Ismail Yusanto, a spokesman for a Muslim group in Indonesia, told CNN. "That's why we reject Obama, and we don't believe that he's reaching out to Muslims." Duh Aunt Esta look alike lol You aint in kansas now TOTO
  15. Not only do I love it, I feel it. Great post.
  16. A True Dog Story] They told me the big black Lab's name was Reggie, as I looked at him lying in his pen.. The shelter was clean, no-kill, and the people really friendly. I'd only been in the area for six months, but everywhere I went in the small college town, people were welcoming and open. Everyone waves when you pass them on the street. But something was still missing as I attempted to settle in to my new life here, and I thought a dog couldn't hurt. Give me someone to talk to. And I had just seen Reggie's advertisement on the local news. The shelter said they had received numerous calls right after, but they said the people who had come down to see him ju st didn't look like "Lab people," whatever that meant. They must've thought I did. But at first, I thought the shelter had misjudged me in giving me Reggie and his things, which consisted of a dog pad, bag of toys almost all of which were brand new tennis balls, his dishes, and a sealed letter from his previous owner. See, Reggie and I didn't really hit it off when we got home. We struggled for two weeks (which is how long the shelter told me to give him to adjust to his new home). Maybe it was the fact that I was trying to adjust, too. Maybe we were too much alike. For some reason, his stuff (except for the tennis balls --- he wouldn't go anywhere without two stuffed in his mouth) got tossed in with all of my other unpacked boxes. I guess I didn't really think he'd need all his old stuff, that I'd get him new things once he settled in. But it became pretty clear pretty soon that he wasn't going to. I tried the normal commands the shelter told me he knew, ones like "sit" and "stay" and "come" and "heel," and he'd follow them - when he felt like it. He never really seemed to listen when I called his name --- sure, he'd look in my direction after the fourth or fifth time I said it, but then he'd just go back to doing whatever. When I'd ask again, you could almost see him sigh and then grudgingly obey. This just wasn't going to work. He chewed a couple shoes and some unpacked boxes. I was a little too stern with him and he resented it, I could tell. The friction got so bad that I couldn't wait for th e two weeks to be up, and when it was, I was in full-on search mode for my cell phone amid all of my unpacked stuff. I remembered leaving it on the stack of boxes for the guest room, but I also mumbled, rather cynically, that the "damn dog probably hid it on me." Finally I found it, but before I could punch up the shelter's number, I also found his pad and other toys from the shelter...I tossed the pad in Reggie's direction and he snuffed it and wagged, some of the most enthusiasm I'd seen since bringing him home. But then I called, "Hey, Reggie, you like that? Come here and I'll give you a treat." Instead, he sort of glanced in my direction --- maybe "glared" is more accurate --- and then gave a discontented sigh and flopped down .... with his back to me. Well, that's not going to do it either, I thought. And I punched the shelter phone number. But I hung up when I saw the sealed envelope.. I had completely forgotten about that, too. "Okay, Reggie," I said out loud, "let's see if your previous owner has any advice." ____________ _________ _________ _________ To Whoever Gets My Dog: Well, I can't say that I'm happy you're reading this, a letter I told the shelter could only be opened by Reggie's new owner. I'm not even happy writing it. If you're reading this, it means I just got back from my last car ride with my Lab after dropping him off at the shelter. He knew something was different. I have packed up his pad and toys before and set them by the back door before a trip, but this time... it's like he knew something was wrong. And something is wrong...which is why I have to go to try to make it right. So let me tell you about my Lab in the hopes that it will help you bond with him and he with you. First, he loves tennis balls. The more the merrier. Sometimes I think he's part squirrel, the way he hordes them.. He usually always has two in his mouth, and he tries to get a third in there. Hasn't done it yet. Doesn't matter where you throw them, he'll bound after it, so be careful - really don't do it by any roads. I made that mistake once, and it almost cost him dearly. Next, commands. Maybe the shelter staff already told you, but I'll go over them again: Reggie knows the obvious ones --- "sit," "stay," "come," "heel." He knows hand signals: "back" to turn around and go back when you put your hand straight up; and "over" if you put your hand out right or left. "Shake" for shaking water off, and "paw" for a high-five. He does "down" when he feels like lying down --- I bet you could work on that with him some more. He knows "ball" and "food" and "bone" and "treat" like nobody's business. I trained Reggie with small food treats. Nothing opens his ears like little pieces of hot dog. Feeding schedule: twice a day, once about seven in the morning, and again at six in the evening. Regular store-bought stuff; the shelter has the brand.. He's up on his shots. Call the clinic on 9th Street and update his info with yours; they'll make sure to send you reminders for when he's due. Be forewarned: Reggie hates the vet. Good luck getting him in the car. I don't know how he knows when it's time to go to the vet, but he knows. Finally, give him some time. I've never been married, so it's only been Reggie and me for his whole life He's gone everywhere with me, so please include him on your daily car rides if you can. He sits well in the backseat, and he doesn't bark or complain. He just loves to be around people, and me most especially. Which means that this transition is going to be hard, with him going to live with someone new. And that's why I need to share one more bit of info with you.... His name's not Reggie. I don't know what made me do it, but when I dropped him off at the shelter, I told them his name was Reggie. He's a smart dog, he'll get used to it and will respond to it, of that I have no doubt. But I just couldn't bear to give them his real name. For me to do that, it seemed so final, that handing him over to the shelter was as good as me admitting that I'd never see him again. And if I end up coming back, getting him, and tearing up this letter, it me ans everything's fine. But if someone else is reading it, well ... well it means that his new owner should know his real name. It'll help you bond with him. Who knows, maybe you'll even notice a change in his demeanor if he's been giving you problems. His real name is "Tank". Because that is what I drive. Again, if you're reading this and you're from the area, maybe my name has been on the news. I told the shelter that they couldn't make "Reggie" available for adoption until they received word from my company commander. See, my parents are gone, I have no siblings, no one I could've left Tank with ... and it was my only real request of the Army upon my deployment to Iraq , that they make one phone.. call the shelter ... in the "event" ... to tell them that Tank could be put up for adoption. Luckily, my colonel is a dog guy, too, and he knew where my platoon was headed. He said he'd do it personally. And if you're reading this, then he made good on his word. Well, this letter is getting downright depressing, even though, frankly, I'm just writing it for my dog. I couldn't imagine if I was writing it for a wife and kids and family .... but still, Tank has been my family for the last six years, almost as long as the Army has been my family. And now I hope and pray that you make him part of your family and that he will adjust and come to love you the same way he loved me. That unconditional love from a dog is what I take with me to Iraq as an inspiration to do something selfless, to protect innocent people from those who would do terrible things ... and to keep those terrible people from coming over here. If I have to give up Tank in order to do it, I am glad to have done so. He is my example of service and of love. I hope I honored him by my service to my country and comrades. All right, that's enough. I deploy this evening and have to drop this letter off at the shelter. I don't think I'll say another good-bye to Tank, though. I cried too much the first time. Maybe I'll peek in on him and see if he finally got that third tennis ball in his mouth. Good luck with Tank. Give him a good home, and give him an extra kiss goodnight - every night - from me. Thank you, Paul Mallory ____________ _________ _________ _______ I folded the letter and slipped it back in the envelope. Sure I had heard of Paul Mallory, everyone in town knew him, even new people like me. Local kid, killed in Iraq a few months ago and posthumously earning the Silver Star when he gave his life to save three buddies. Flags had been at half-mast all summer. I leaned forward in my chair and rested my elbows on my knees, staring at the dog. "Hey, Tank," I said quietly. The dog's head whipped up, his ears cocked and his eyes bright. "C'mere boy." He was instantly on his feet, his nails clicking on the hardwood floor. He sat in front of me, his head tilted, searching for the name he hadn't heard in months. "Tank," I whispered. His tail swished. I kept whispering his name, over and over, and each time, his ears lowered, his eyes softened, and his posture relaxed as a wave of contentment just seemed to flood him. I stroked his ears, rubbed his shoulders, buried my face into his scruff and hugged him. "It's me now, Tank, just you and me. Your old pal gave you to me." Tank reached up and licked my cheek. "So whatdaya say we play some ball?" His ears perked again.. "Yeah? Ball? You like that? Ball?" Tank tore from my hands and disappeared in the next room. And when he came back, he had three tennis balls in his mouth. If you can read this without getting a lump in your throat or a tear in your eye, don't send me anymore emails, you just ain't right.
  17. Ok to me this may be good for us as far as the RV is concerned but for Iraq I think something stinks on M's part and this just shows me that he probably has something cooking with Iran as well that is not good for Iraqi people.
  18. Fact, my mother picked up hers at 5th/3rd yesterday, In Ohio I placed the order myself when my mother was in the office on Tuesday morning and I was on the phone with her. She handed the lady the phone and I told her what denoms I wanted my mom to have. she picked it up yesterday and called me right away to tell me that she got it but it was all 25,000 notes that the note came back with it stating they were all out of small dinar and did not believe the could get anything less than a 5000 note anymore. Just the larger 3 denoms. It did take less than 48 hours and they do have more at the Cincinnati office. I spoke with her again today. Cincinnati is the main branch for Ohio. Just 25,000 at this time. half the order was for me, this is no rumor!!!!!
  19. I have no Idea if this is related to dinar but I know it is Iraq, if any of you have someone that does do the translation they may be interested in it anyway. Then if it is any good they can give you the details on which video. Anyway you get the idea. http://www.youtube.com/user/forattube There ya go good luck, I do not understand it There are multiple stories on there not just one so maybe some good info.
  20. Look its Keepm in a bathing suit :lol:
  21. I especially like that part, will have to check into that!
