  1. Here's another but I think Reidar wrote this like a week or so ago. I'm just contacted him on twitter to see if he has any more recent reports. The guy is a genius. 5-28-13 Reidar Visser (Gulf Analysis): Much more will likely be written about this in coming days and weeks, but it is already now worth taking note of a letter sent from the Iraqi prosecutor general to the presidency of the Iraqi parliament, asking them to replace Iraq’s current president Jalal Talabani due to his prolonged absence for health reasons. The letter was first reported by media leaks, but it is now published on the website of the Iraqi judiciary, meaning it is definitely official and enjoys the support of the judiciary as an institution. The question of when, during a period of prolonged absence, the Iraqi president needs to be replaced is not well defined by the Iraqi constitution. Nor is there bylaws for the presidency that govern this question. The major issue concerns interpretation of article 72, which says a new president must be elected if the incumbent president “vacates” his post for any reason. The question then is, who should decide that the president’s absence is so prolonged that it satisfies the criteria for replacement as per article 72? The Iraqi judiciary today gives us the answer by referring to article 1 of the law of the state prosecution service, dating from the Baath era. That law, slightly amended in 2006, gives the prosecution service the job of defending the order of the state, and it is presumably in such a capacity it now deems itself capable of intervening. This latest step by the Iraqi judiciary raises the question of whether replacing Talabani may finally have received the support of Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, who has seen Talabani as a friend among the Kurds, and whose own political ally Khudayr al-Khuzaie has effectively controlled the presidency in the absence of Talabani and with the other vice-presidents either resigned (Abd al-Mahdi) or in exile (Hashemi). Barham Saleh, also from Talabani’s PUK, is reported as a possible replacement candidate. The Iraqi parliament will vote on a replacement; the aim is a two-thirds majority but if no one reaches that level, a simple-majority run-off vote will be held. http://gulfanalysis.wordpress.com/
  2. Sorry if this is a repeat but I didn't see it listed. 5-28-13 BBC Video: Former British prime minister Tony Blair has told a BBC programme about the Iraq war that he would rather have quit as prime minister than let down the Americans. The documentary contains interviews with Mr Blair, former US Vice President **** Cheney, senior CIA officers and former Iraqi generals and intelligence chiefs. In this extract, Mr Blair discusses the crucial vote in the House of Commons over whether to go to war without a second UN resolution. Raad Hamdani, a former general in the Iraqi Republican Guard, also recalls what Saddam Hussein said to his commanders on the eve of war. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-22694542?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=DTN+Iraq:
  3. My next possible interview will be with someone I have great respect for. He is a researcher at the Norwegian Institute of International Affairs. He holds a doctorate in middle-eastern studies from the University of Oxford. He specializes in Iraqi politics and will be able to give us some great insight into their stability or lack there of and what the future may hold. Now I've never heard him comment on the future of their currency and am not sure which questions he will feel comfortable answering in that regard but I have read this guy for years and am blown away by his sagacious ability to provide accurate research and never shy away from controversial topics. Anyway, we'll see what happens. His secretary told me to expect a prompt response from him and I also correspond with him in other ways. Hopefully, soon I will have this locked up for us and we'll all gain a little more insight into what is truly going on in Iraq right now. I understand, I can't control which direction they decide to take the interview in. I asked him about that and his response was we are not looking at the big picture and centralize our conclusions and fail to see the entire picture. I will repeat, this is not some Nesara idiot or WGS guy. Anyway, I have great respect for him even though you know I choose to focus on completely different issues and of course that may be a mistake of mine but I choose to believe the only way to judge what the CBI is planning to do is by watching the preparatory steps taken (laws passed, finance committee/CBI/IMF/UN report etc... I don't know who the PTB is, don't really care to and if they control the Milky Way galaxy, well, how the heck would I know what they're planning to do anyway.
  4. Do you know who Duckyboy is? Probably one of the biggest anti-guru, skeptical but knowledgeable out there. Also, has been banned from every pumper chat room around the same time I did a few years ago and was one of the first to open my eyes to their deception. Ask him is this contact is real. You have no idea what you're talking about however I can understand your skepticism. Believe what you will. I've already mentioned that that I am in negotiations with some real experts in the field and from now on I promise I will provide their full names and biography as part of the post so you can judge their credentials for yourself. It's not as easy as you think to get these men/women who are professionals in this field to comment on this subject but I have been able to find some. It takes a lot of effort and you have to jump through many hoops, speaking with their people first, to even get the opportunity to reach them personally. It takes time.
  5. That's a very good point. Sorry for not asking that one because it is of course of great importance. I will include it in my next interview. Haven't seen him in a while but I always loved his posts because he would bring up issues I had never even contemplated before. Very thought provoking and well-spoken.
  6. Keep posting man, I have great respect for your acumen and only wish you posted more often. Also, would love to hear more from Billi0, Carrello, and Trinityexchange. Enoch8 & Scooter.... of course the list goes on here with so many great intellects. Please forgive me for all those I forgot to mention, I'm sure I'll be kicking myself 5 minutes after I post this for omitting many great researchers, just typing on fly here.
  7. Regardless how I may differ with Okie's opinions when it comes to this investment, if he was truly affected by something so horrific, I really do wish him the best and hope for a quick recovery. It's not an easy thing to go through.
  8. Gonna have to google that Darin, not familiar with him but yes, Darin from DV is the man and I love his posts. Also, not sure who John is but I'm really trying hard acquire some real debates about this investment from those with credibility worthy of such a debate. So, if you have any in mind I would appreciate their contact info. Thanks.
  9. If you're speaking of Darin from DV, I wouldn't debate him. First of all I agree with almost everything he says whether I admit it or not and have way too much respect for his intellect.
  10. Storm thanks and that's a very honest response which I respect.
  11. Those who support Fox News and Bill O'Reily have every right to do so. However, I think it's best if I avoid this topic altogether. I rarely show magnanimity toward those I consider doltish, although it does appear to be something I portray in a format such as this. Maybe that's a character defect I need to work on but for the time being lets avoid this discussion.
  12. This brother and sister duo is the most talented and unfortunately unknown band out there, considering how talented they are.
  13. You have got to be kidding me. Bill O'Reily is an abusive moron and anyone who has any respect for him whatsoever has lost all of mine. Watch this video and prove me wrong.
  14. I try to refrain from being negative but if you wanna call him out lets have a friendly debate concerning his theories, You up to the challenge? Jon Stewart is the man ..... nuff said
  15. I don't know what it is about today but everything has a jocular quality about it. Thanks goodness I needed a laugh:)
  16. I can't ever argue with the dude abiides. I stilll think that's the coolest chat room name ever!!
  17. Brings back some really tough memories SnowGlobe. It's kind of hard to explain what that's like unless you've experienced it yourself. What hurts the most is losing irreplaceable items like family photos and certain memorabilia sent down through the family. It's heart breaking. On a positive note, none of my family members lost their lives. I can't imagine what something like that would be like. I'd probably go to a very dark place. I'm always amazed when I see people being interviewed with such positive attitudes even after they've been through something so horrific. Considering your name you wanna meet me at chess.com for a friendly match? I'm a total chess nerd.
  18. During hurricane Charley in Port Charlotte we got hit by a category 5 dead on. My whole family including my grandparents hid in the bathtub and all thought we were gonna die for sure. Roof was ripped off, tree went through our front door and a tornado tore up our backyard and left a trail about a football field long going through the woods. When it was all over slowly the entire neighborhood emerged to see what was left and no one said a word. We were in shock due to the devastation. None of us had power for weeks and after a few days we when we were able to drive to the next city (Punta Gorda) where the military was providing us with water I saw every species of bird you can imagine stuck in the metal fence that was on either side of the bridge border. I'll never forget it.
  19. Maggie: For real though sorry to hear about that snowglobe.
  20. I don't even have the words... for once I'm speechless.
