Excellent article. You should also look into an age-old remedy called "Master Tonic" that one can make at home and is effective against bacteria, viruses, fungus, yeasts, parasites etc. It must be made as very few places sell it. It's called Master Tonic for a reason. It has been proven to stop all the things mentioned above and much, much, much more. Google Master Tonic and you can find out about it and how to make it. It's surprising how potent it is. The recipe is easy AND it's very cheap to make. If a disaster happened and the medical system broke down, it would be great to have some of this stuff on hand. I am a cancer survivor and also live with systemic lupus. For over a decade I have virtually eliminated all of my health issues using natural medicine. I rarely even sneeze or cough. Last time I went to a doctor was in 2003 and back then I was told I needed to be under constant care. I make my own medicines via things like Master Tonic and make my own vitamins and probitotics using Kefir Cultures and other things. For me natural is the only way to go. I've learned our bodies can do great things if we give it the right ingredients and proper treatment.

As a forex trader I can tell you that this movement has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with the IQD. IQD is not live or traded by any forex broker, market maker etc. Any change on the chart is strictly a result of a change in value of the USD which changes how many IQD one USD is worth. The number will rise or fall depending on the value of USD. I trade at a forex broker that offers not only the majors but also so-called "exotic" currencies like the Kuwaiti Dinar and other Dinar currencies. If something happened in the actual forex market and IQD was "live" it would be visible in trading platforms and places other than charting sites. For now the only place you find it is on Forex information and charting sites but those sites are NOT a part of the forex market. That's like thinking a site listing stock charts or quotes is officially a part of the stock market. The only way I would pay attention to any of the sites is if the IQD rate changed on the CBI. After all, forex sites, charting and quote platforms all get their data from entities such as central banks and other direct sources. So why not get the info from the horses mouth and not some unofficial source?

Instead of saying it IS or IS NOT a scam all the banks have to say is that they don't deal with ANY non functional currencies or currencies that are not internationally traded. They could leave it at that and avoid all the other nonsense. They obviously have no idea of the trouble they can be setting themselves up for by calling the legal, lawful currency or another country a "scam". That is a VERY strong accusation against a sovereign nation and Ally of the United States of America. That itself could be seen as market manipulation and in some cases an act to sabotage. In some cases words have very strong power. People need to be very careful with what they say--Especially when they make absolute and definite statements. They don't say, "I think it MIGHT be a scam". Instead, they say it IS a scam. A sadly NONE of them can say how or why. None of them can show WHAT law is being broken. After all, a SCAM is against at least one law. If something is a scam people can point to at least one law or regulation that the scam is breaking. So far every banker I have challenged has not be able to show this. Instead of LYING and making FRAUDULENT statements by calling the CURRENCY a scam, the people should simply say they don't deal with, give advice or comment on any currency that is not internationally traded. That way they can not be accused of anything. When they say it is a scam they are in essence giving out fraudulent advice. Imagine how many upset people will be on their doorstep when the RV happens and they find they missed out because they thought it was a scam. As crazy as some people are these days, they might even be mad enough to kill someone they may think caused them to miss out. Sometimes instead of saying something, Good or Bad, it is best to say nothing at all.

I am still waiting for even ONE "banker" to tell us exactly HOW and WHY the currency of Iraq is a "scam". None of them can answer that nor can they explain WHY the US Treasury allows companies to offer the "scam" or WHY several US Banks made the "scam" available setting themselves up for a potential class action law suit and even criminal charges. The IQD was issued by the Central Bank of Iraq. It is not some made up or unknown currency invented by scammers. It is a legitimate currency. Furthermore they can't say it is a bad "investment" because it is NOT an investment no matter how many times we call it one. We did not buy a stock, bond, fund or any other investment or security. What we did was NOT an investment. What we did was a foreign currency exchange. We exchanged our US currency for the equivalent in Iraqi currency (plus paid a little extra which accounted for the seller's spread and shipping costs). What we did was currency speculation pure and simple. We "traded" one currency for another with the hopes that we would earn a profit when we do the second exchange. If a bank can tell me how using exchanging one currency for another currency is a scam I would love to hear it. The country of India had better watch out if they are going to start accepting this "scam" currency. Also, all the US banks and others opening up branches in Iraq had better get out and not deal with the "scam".

Good advice. Most big banks have what are called "foreign exchange investment specialists". They don't engage in forex trading but they can assist clients with various foreign currency transactions. They can also direct you to "managed forex accounts" and other foreign currency based investments. There are managed accounts that beat the best hedge funds and other investments out there. One thing to consider, contrary to popular opinion you did not "purchase" or "invest" in anything. Based upon speculation what we technically did was "exchange" or "swap" USD for IQD. We did not buy an investment. We did not purchase a stock, bond or other security. We simply traded one currency for another. The additional fees you paid accounted for things such as the seller's spread and shipping fees. We did so hoping that when we swap / exchange IQD into other currency at a future date, we will end up with a profit. Essentially what we did was a private, off-market, forex exchange. If you ask any of these people above about the IQD as NOW (when it is not internationally traded) most of them will have very bad OPINIONS and will mostly trash the IQD. Most people hear these opinions and get scared because they come from people at banks. Well, a lot of the people at banks surprisingly know very little about money and even less about foreign currencies. They don't deal with nonfunctional currencies so obviously they will only have bad things to say about IQD if someone inquires about it. Some even call it a scam BUT if you ask them exactly HOW it is a scam or WHY it is a scam they can't give any logical reason for their opinion. There are some people working at banks and they call it a scam even though the bank they work at made it available to their clients. It would seems that would make the banks and the UST registered companies all participants of a "scam"

http://www.wcnc.com/news/local/Family-angry-after-officer-shoots-service-dog-220577541.html TROUTMAN, N.C. -- Head down Rankin Hill Road in Troutman, and you will notice a very public display of anger and grief. The sign displayed on the Wiggins’ front yard names a Mooresville Police officer they say shot and killed their 2-year-old beloved German Shepherd, Drogo. “I've been married 26 years, never seem him cry like this,” said Sherri Wiggins of her husband. She says without her knowledge, he had put up the sign, which in part read “Dog Killer.” On Monday, the officer who resides two houses down along the rural road, called Animal Control to report the shooting. Sherri Wiggins says she was home preparing dinner when she noticed Drogo was nowhere to be found. “I started yelling for him and couldn't find him,” she said. She eventually found Drogo near her neighbor’s home. “He was lying there, and he was awake and looking at me. He was bleeding pretty bad, but I could see the one (shot) on his front paw,” she said. Wiggins believes Drogo was shot first in the paw and then three times around his hind legs. Wiggins says she was told by investigators Drogo had been on the officer’s property at the time of the shooting. “He told me, ‘Tim shot him three times, and he felt like he was in misery so he shot him a fourth time to put him down,’ but when I got there an hour later, he was still alive, laying there, suffering,” she said. The family rushed him to the vet. “Instead we had to make a conscious decision not to pay thousands of dollars, we could not afford, and put him down, and I had to sit there and watch my husband cry,” she said. Wiggin questions the officer’s judgment, saying his actions borders on animal cruelty. “It’s inhumane,” she said. Wiggins says Drogo can be “protective”, but is very docile and had never bitten anyone before. She says Drogo had the kind of temperament that made him an effective service dog. She says he was in training, and had made numerous trips to the Hospice of her late mother. Wiggins is asking why a trained officer would not use other means to scare the dog away. “I'm not saying he should have not shot at him, but he is a police officer. Why not carry pepper spray, mace, or shoot in the air. A mercy shot would have been in the head, wouldn’t you think, and he is a cop,” she asked. Iredell County Sheriff’s investigators determined the officer acted accordingly. No further investigation is expected, and no charges filed. The Mooresville Police began an internal administrative review as is the policy, but no action was taken. The family installed an electronic fence around their seven acre property last Friday. Wiggins says upon learning of another neighbor’s encounters with her dogs during his walk three weeks ago, the fence immediately went up. He was not hurt, but she says the dog’s “excitement” was concerning. One neighbor says her dogs have been on her property before. At first she had been frightened by their barking, but she says they stopped at that. This neighbor, who did not want to be identified, says she could understand why people unfamiliar of the dogs could be taken by surprise. Wiggins says Drogo was wearing his electric collar and two other collars at the time, but cannot understand how he ended up on the officer’s property. She says no one had ever called to voice a complaint about her dogs. Her property is commonly used to house stray animals. Among the horses, donkeys and pigs she keeps, she commonly takes in dogs and cats she says are left abandoned on her road. Wiggins says many cars stop along her house to look at the animals and most recently take pictures of the foal. She believes that may have led to the dogs enthusiastic behavior, but she is still convinced Drogo would not have hurt anyone. She is also upset after hearing of the exchange between her neighbors and the officer; they claimed they asked the officer not to use excessive force against the animals. “He told them (neighbors) three weeks ago, that he would shoot a German Shepherd if he came on his property, and they said, not do that, because he was just protecting the property.” The officer could not be reached for comment.

I am glad to see that she believes in her faith enough to stay and do what she did. At one point the shooter was about to leave to start shooting kids but she got him to stay in the room with her. This was AFTER he had already had a shoot out with the police. He told her he had nothing to live for, planned to die that day and planned to take others with him. She humanized him, told him he was loved and that he had things to live for. She told him her story and how she bounced back and that helped.If you have not watched the video on that site you should. It is 16+ minutes. The Heroism this lady showed and the way that she showed her faith and honored God gave me tears of Joy. While the President and the rest of the world is calling her a hero she is downplaying everything and giving all honor to God. This lady's faith allowed her to take down a shooter with multiple guns and over 500 rounds with out any force. She eventually got him to give up, put all his weapons and ammo on the counter. and lay down without killing anyone. I don't think a professional negotiator could have done any better. With this ONE act, she has done more than Obama has done. Maybe he should giver her his undeserved Nobel Prize for Peace. As soon as the RV happens I will definitely be sending her something to help with her multiple disabled child. He has some very severe issues which I know can't be cheap to provide care for.

http://www.cosmopolitan.com/celebrity/news/antoinette-tuff-georgia-school-shooting Twenty-year-old Michael Brandon Hill stormed an elementary school in Decatur, Georgia on Tuesday, armed with an assault rifle and various other weapons — but none of the 870 students were harmed thanks to the incredible bravery of school clerk Antoinette Tuff. Instead of running, she spoke plainly to Hill about her own life and prayed for them both. Tuff is downplaying her heroism to the media, via NPR: "I just started talking to him ... and let him know what was going on with me and that it would be OK. And then let him know that he could just give himself up. ... I told him to put [the guns] on the table, empty his pockets. He had me actually get on the intercom and tell everybody he was sorry, too. I give it all to God. I'm not the hero. I was terrified." And from ABC News: "The school clerk said she tried to keep the assailant calm by asking him his name but, she said, at first he wouldn't tell it to her. Then, he began listening to her tell her life story. She said she told him about how her marriage fell apart after 33 years and the 'roller coaster' of opening her own business." At one point, she tells Hill that she had considered suicide. "You gonna be okay," she says. "We're not gonna hate you." Listen to the awe-inspiring 911 call:

Good point. He actually did not even mention color until he was asked by the dispatcher. Of course when the tape was "edited" it was done to make it seem as though he was being racist or profiling. I figure it would be hard to profile in that instance when it is dark, raining, the person's face (color) is concealed by a hoodie and you are behind them. The media and racists just wanted to use this as a reason to divide people. They must separate people because if we all get along and work together we could do great things like take our country back from unlawful and corrupt governments. If we spend our time talking about race, trying to prove who is racist, who kills who the most etc. we can't focus on other things like SOLUTIONS. Time is a limited commodity. If we are spending all our time on one thing, we can't spend it on another. The government wants us spending our time on these issues so we don't all work together. That is their biggest fear. They would hate to see all of the people of the UNITED States become UNITED themselves. When the BLACK neighbourhood watch guy shot and killed the 17 year old white kid (with the second shot done AFTER he was down and on the ground) he was treated the same way as Zimmerman. He was also found not guilty. No one said anything about that. It got some local attention but hardly any national attention. Not even from white media. At one point I thought that Limbaugh, Oriley or someone would at least mention it. I created a topic here on the forum about that case to try and give it some attention. I also posted in on FB and shared with my LinkedIn groups. Sadly, even people that write articles like this don't even mention it. And that case was nearly the same exact situation as the Zimmerman case. This time it was a black guy (on neighboorhood watch) who shot and killed a white kid. There are lots of cases where blacks shot whites and were found not guilty---some even in Florida---so I wish people would publish more stories like that. I did it to show any black who is racist that there are plenty of examples where blacks did the same thing as Zimmerman AND got the same treatment. One guy in Florida shot and killed two white supremacists while he was inside his car. They were seen jumping on the hood, kicking the car, yelling racist things etc. Instead of driving off, the guy in the car shot both of them killing one. He was found not guilty. The case was questionable because everyone thought he should have fled the situation but the law said he did not have a duty to flee. So he got off. He simply said he feared for his life. Re Zimmerman, the fact that he grew up with black people in his household, dated black girls, took a black girl to prom and mentored young black kids after school is all something someone racist against blacks would not do.

Forex "sites" and converters, YES. The actual Forex "market" and trading platforms, NO. Two completely different things. If you want to know the difference check out some of my older posts.

Exactly. They did not say this even when it was a Democratic president. But because Obama is a different color than past presidents they can use the race issue to stir up racial tensions. People did things like this with George Bush and even with black members of his cabinet Rice and Powell and no one had any issues. I guess since those blacks were Republicans and lot of black Democrats are racist against black republicans. No one had any problems when people put an image of Bush's head on a pike: http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2013/08/obama-rodeo-mask-is-racist-but-decapitated-george-bush-head-on-a-pike-was-funny/ No one said anything when they put a mask of Bush on the butt of a donkey: http://www.freakingnews.com/Ass-Wearing-a-George-Bush-Mask-Pics-49739.asp No one called it racist when they made the mask of Bush looking like a Nazi. Imagine the uproar if someone put a mask on the news of Obama appearing as a Black Panther: http://newsbusters.org/node/3586 One thing I have learned in life is that sometimes when someone does something to a person it is because they don't like the color of their skin BUT sometimes it is simply because they don't like the person for who they are. There are a lot of people who need to wake up and stop thinking that every time someone does something mean or disrespectful to someone of a different race, it is because they are racist.

Thanks Keep. I totally agree. It is good to see both sides. I wish he wouldn't show people's private information and things that did not relate to current times. I am sure there are not many people who are exactly the same way there were a decade earlier. Also, if one looks they can even find an arrest record and mug shot of Bill Gates. We all know he is not the same person he was as a youngster. I don't know if this suggestion will work but see if it will: Contact Admin and see if they will either give you my email address or perhaps they can relay the message to me. Perhaps you can show them this post so they will know I give you permission to get my address from them.

Yesterday someone sent me to a website ************** which is hosted at blogspot. The blog has pictures and real names and other information on pumpers like Okie and the like. While I don't believe all the info released on that site I am hoping that there is some truth there. It would be nice to know the true identities of these liars. Has anyone here visited that site? I would like members takes on if the information is real.

90% of the politicians don't even know there is no such thing as the so-called separation of Church and State. When asked they can never point to any law, regulation or anything that says there is a separation of church and state. The 1st amendment is not that. See if you can prove these facts wrong: The Myth of the Separation of Church and State - http://www.tgm.org/mythofseparation.html Also, things might one day get that bad here in the US. Just look at stories like this to see the direction this country is headed: Washington State Sues Florist for Refusing *** Couple's Wedding http://www.advocate.com/politics/marriage-equality/2013/04/10/washington-state-sues-florist-refusing-***-couples-wedding 22 Christians Arrested for Praying in Front of White House http://politichicks.tv/column/22-christians-arrested-for-praying-in-front-of-wh/ Christians Arrested for Preaching in New Orleans After Sunset; Police Vow to Target Churches Next http://christiannews.net/2012/09/15/christians-arrested-for-preaching-in-new-orleans-after-sunset-police-vow-to-target-churches-next/ America, 2010: Christians hauled to jail for preaching Jesus http://www.wnd.com/2010/06/169577/ Christian preacher jailed for praying.

There was an episode of Law and Order: SVU based on this very judge. The episode was called "crush". The only difference was they used a female instead of a male judge. According to the wikipedia page for the "kids for cash" scandal there were actually three TV shows that used this. I had no idea this was a real event until I saw this thread on DV.
