[Opinions & Perspectives]

That was extremely well put together. I would judge by your number of posts until now, that you are regarded as an intellectual, say what you want to say when the need arises, dissect and discern the information you dig up, and separate the wheat from the chaff. Very good opinion and excellent point of reference! Rich

Thank you sir for you very appreciated kind words -- I do enjoy expressing myself but am a little guarded as to how and where - lol -- I have been a member here for quite some time but have been unusually quite because of -- well I am also sensitive to bashing (not implying that anyone has or would) -- and most posts are out of my field of expertise -- I am a "UNEEK" sort of person --- and being here well uhhhh I do best to read and listen -- I can learn so much more that way !! lol

[Opinions & Perspectives]

I have been in this investment now 4 yrs – I started out totally in the dark and relied on what someone else told me for about 2 months and then I got involved with the internet and the forums – For the first yr it was a chat room and then a forum or two until my second year and then I became an assistant admin on a forum.

That first year I listened and read for hours and hours and hours to learn all I could about the Dinar and the hopeful RV – I became a real newshound myself and was staying up until 2 am to catch the early news for the new coming day in Iraq – sleep for a few hours and up again at 5 to capture the news again – I was even listening to live stream news stations in Iraq for months

I learned and absorbed a lot of information and as I look back I can easily understand why the RV has been such a complex ordeal – The government forming is still an issue after 3 yrs of working on it – geeze - and no one gets along over there – there are shootings and bombings everyday somewhere –

One thing that I wanted to really bring attention to is the news articles – While I absolutely DO feel they are important to use for keeping abreast of what is happening and the progress that is accomplished; albeit slow -- most of us know that in the mix of all of the news IS misinformation and poor translations –

After 4 years of exposure and 3 of those years fully engrossed into the goings on in Iraq I still would not feel comfortable debating some of the political and economic issues -

Another concern that I have is with the news articles and discerning their “truth” – The Intel providers in DinarLand push the news articles and I am not bashing them but how do they “know” beyond any shadow of a doubt that “their” perception of the news is all “truth”? What I can say and embrace is that what they choose to believe is “truth” for them --

Another question I have is how can they possibly read all or “enough” of them to gain that confidence? There have been more than I could read on just one forum in one day and I happen to have membership or access to about 35 forums of which 16 I frequent daily –

And maybe my last question --- If the Bible has been around for all these years and is STILL misquoted – misunderstood - and debated as to its real meaning and “truth” – then could it not also be feasible and possible that all this “news” could be misquoted – misunderstood – and justifiably debated as to its authenticity and meaning?

Soooooo can’t we just get along and agree to disagree? Why does it seem to always be a battle to be fought with head strong egos ? If we cannot support another perspective then can’t we AT LEAST continue to support the “investment”?

Each person has evolved to where they are through their own experiences and learning - Each person will be held accountable for their choices and decisions – Plant a seed if you will – Water the ground when you can – extract some weeds of doubt when you can – Offer some encouragement and support when you see it is appropriate -- ALWAYS respect the growth and direction of each and every one – They will bear fruit accordingly --

Allow for natural cause and effect and it to be expected – Do not force feed YOUR truth on another – If they are not ready to embrace YOUR truth as theirs it could be as deadly as a strong fertilizer on a tender plant –

You can easily be nourishment or poison to another growth /evolving process -- It is your choice - your actions - Think about it --

Blessings To All -- UNEEK - I accept with what I have shared few will listen and even less will hear but it was good therapy for me

[Mormons quit church in mass resignation]

Thank you for the post and all that replied - I thoroughly enjoyed it and feel I gained in reading from all points of view -

I do not know much about the Mormons but I just learned 2 weeks ago that a recent friend is of this faith -- It has been an interesting journey to learn more about their faith now that I have known her for about 2 years. It has explained a great deal to me why she has done and said and acted in certain ways --

I have been very curious to know more about their teachings since learning of my friends affiliation -- She is very wealthy and knows some very very wealthy Hollywood stars - I am most curious about what wealthy and influential people are of the same faith now -- I just learned that Steven Covey is a member -

Again thanks for the post and replies - I am just curious -- sincerely just curious and will continue my research - This is a good start --

okay - I was not allowed to edit my post -- so will do it this way --

I gave the original poster and snotrocket +'s for sharing their info - I have looked into the LDS manual and watched a video about their food storage facilities -- I have a friend that actually visited one and gave a very favorable report -- For dried food and preparedness these folks are very knowledgeable -- (and I know this has nothing to do actually concerning the original post) Thanks for allowing me to post -

[***My take on what could possibly go down***]

Great Post & very well written - Thank you for your contribution !

[How a little girl and 57cents changed history forever]

The History of the 57 Cents :

Thanks for sharing the story -- It was / is awesome --

Whether we realize it or not every word that we say and every action that we do has an impact -- positive or not -- on those around us -- You may think that to the world you are just one person and cannot possibly make a difference -- but in reality -- to one person -- you could be the world -- as in this story -- Hope you enjoy - May we all reach out and make a difference today UNEEK

I followed up on this through Google. I found a site that gives the

true (almost exact same) story of the 57 cents.

Then, following that to

the Temple Baptist Church site, and on to the Temple University Library

Archives, I was able to read (in The Temple Review, v21, no 7, Dec

1912) the pastor's actual sermon.

The statistics from then (1912) show

the power of God manifested through a simple true LOVE gift.

Powerful then; even more powerful now. If you want to read it for yourself, here is the link:

[The Marathon]

Austin Powers-For-PM -- loved your analogy -- thanks for sharing - and for sure many are showing signs of running out of steam - It is sad to hear of folks having heart attacks and or selling out - becoming frustrated and depressed -- any of these scenarios is a sign - a warning sign that there is danger ahead if not addressed -- Your perspective sheds light on that and hopefully many will read and heed -- UNEEK

[Dinar Gurus 010812]

I really could care less about the chopped up rumor / rumtel info - but was most impressed that you did the spell check -- I realize that typos are to be expected but it really does get under my skin when folks (adults who have been to school and could do better) mis use "than" for then -- "there" for their --or they're -- your for you're - and on and on and on it goes --

I do not want to judge or even be the least bit cruel -- it does not really matter in the big picture but it would be really nice if folks would not be so lazy and disrespectful of our language -- I would not want to hurt / offend anyone and discourage them from sharing because of the grammar -- Just wish those that could do better "would" - Thank you for your efforts --

I decided to start keeping a copy of these (guess I'm bored) and have them back to December 31st if anyone wants a copy.

Just is incredible to me that a person can attempt to maintain a approach to this investment in this way for so long.

I always run it through a spellchecker because I can't stand illiteracy nor laziness.

Anyway, enjoy.

* Dinar Guru(s) Updates for 1/8/12

January 8th, 2012 03:10 pm

1-8-2012 Guru Lojak based on a contact we had with a very high level person in the know (with impeccable credentials) we are in the moment… we are just waiting on the loading of the currencies…I have never been a rate and date guy, but I feel great about where we are.

1-8-2012 Guru DinarWishes What a Great Day to be alive and in this investment!!! There is nothing to be Down about or disappointed!!!! Trust me you are in a great place!!! I know we are all ready to cash out right now but the process is still trying to complete its course…I have been getting phone calls through the night and I’m very encouraged that we are just about there!!

1-8-2012 Guru Purplehelmet300 Best I heard was a high rate – then settling to above KWD…Not sure how long will stay high!

1-8-2012 Guru Blaino Revaluation target sighted locked in and we are ready to fire at that FAT Piñata! I am more and more convinced that there will be NO ANNOUNCEMENT, per say…rather some vigilant person (one of THOUSANDS) will recognize that the IQD is trading and I think that’s how the news will come…we are in a time frame measureable easily in days or even hours.

1-8-2012 Guru Doc We see it as no surprise that the RV did not occur this week…there are certain items that need to be in place to support the RV. It was stated in an interview earlier this week with Ministry of Finance persons that the RV would NOT happen until Parliament passed certain laws. We believe this to be…currency law. The CBI has full control of exchange rates but Parliament must approve items such as the restructuring of debt, the issuance of government debt and new currency. This we believe is one of the keys to what Shabibi has been waiting. Unfortunately we can find no indication as to when this will be addressed by Parliament. We believe it will be soon since it should be priority to Iraq moving forward. However, we caution all to remember the wheels have turned slowly in the past and this easily could take several more weeks. We report, you decide.

1-8-2012 Guru Bluwolf we still are waiting for the final numbers to match in and get locked down, it has been taking up more time than usual right now…I think it’s like going into 40 hours, but we are almost done…everything is still on track.

[Did Fed. Agents Really Raid Food Storage Facility?]

READ THE ARTICLE - BUT READ ALL THE WAY TO THE END WHERE THE VISIT BY FEDS WAS VERY VERY REAL AND CONFIRMED - IF THEY OR EVEN A LOCAL HEALTH DEPT COMES KNOCKING ON MY DOOR ASKING QUESTIONS -- I KNOW NOTHING - I HAVE NOTHING -

Thank you for sharing this story -- I feel that we all could be more aware - more prepared - and more hush hush !!

"Local Nashville news broadcasters at WTVF-TV reported on house-by-house Metro Public Health department efforts to check on citizens’ emergency preparedness, including the off-putting line that ”The county still wants to know exactly what you are doing to start thinking ahead:”

I would be AND I WILL BE very cautious of divulging any such info to ANYONE !!

The story could all be mis information -- BUT I BELIEVE WITH ALL OF MY HEART AND SOUL THAT THIS COULD HAPPEN AND BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING -- Just think about using the store cards -- everything you buy and the quantities are recorded and the info accessible -- JUST SAYING ......................

[okie info]

Come on people -- there is not nearly enough credible info here to justify the attacks on Okie -- if you will continue to read you will find that there is a mistaken identity -- they share a first name is all - this could be a mistake or an intentional assault but hey please calm down - there were a lot of posts made today to clear the air -- please let it rest and lets move on - what good is it to harp on this negative energy? How would you feel if you were mistaken for someone else who possibly was guilty of some criminal acts?????

I find it very sad that this unfortunate act has happened - I am here to gather facts and all other intel pertaining to the dinar -- It is so sad that egos get in the way - it is a human thing and will always be -- and so the misinformation and the mistaken identities and the emotions -- all are a part of our evolving - by the way we "react" or "respond" -- We are all a part of the whole and we have an affect - directly or indirectly on everything around us -

To escape criticism - do nothing, say nothing, be nothing. - Elbert Hubbard

In judging others, folks will work overtime for no pay. - Charles Edwin Carruthers

I hope that this unfortunate rumor is put to rest quickly and its purpose has been served - I hope that mostly folks have become more aware of their actions and the possible unpleasant effect / impact they can have on others lives -
