I love idioms. You used the same "if you lie with dogs...you will get fleas" one that tmcgraw used a couple weeks ago during my Scooter/Rudy debacle, which subsequently sent Scooter packing (though not entirely, since he's still seen logging on-and-off his old account here from time to time) and maintaining his affiliation with "Rude C." and this Breitling guy. Aight, that's all I have for now. Back to the real world. Hang in there, jmw. I give you props, dude. These folks get rather touchy-feely when you blaspheme against the almighty Scooter & Friends...lol!

Agreed, jmw. Agreed. This reminds me of the old idiom, "birds of a feather flock together." Bottom line: like-minded individuals have a tendency to associate with one another. Here's more proof of the delusional soap box prophets "spin doctoring" financial data, macroeconomic theory, and monetary policy to suit their interests. Feel free to spend your time listening to the convoluted drabble from likes of DD, B____ling, Ph_____3333, S___ter, and R__y, as the second reality they seek to maintain slowly erodes at the bedrock. I choose horses over unicorns, marlins over mermaids--REALITY OVER FANTASY. I appreciate the commentary provided by dinarck, jmw, and tmcgraw over the past few days in response to the CBI news articles. These guys know what's up and covered all the bases rather poignantly, so there's no need to reiterate a single word of what they already contributed to this forum. I'm looking forward to reading Adam Montana's take on these recent events and keeping my eyes open for that. In the meantime, best of luck to all and may whatever transpires benefit not only the people of Iraq, but those of us invested in her burgeoning prosperity. Aloha, chuckst3r P.S.- I gave up on Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, and the Easter Bunny years ago. It's about time some of you did the same.

Here's the thing, folks: I meant every word during my post, down to the letters themselves. And I still do. Call me disrespectful, arrogant, pompous, whatever. Sticks and stones as far as I'm concerned. I still, for the life of me, don't see what the big deal is. What I find are overly-emotional responses to an otherwise well-intentioned inquiry. Let me ask you this: just how many of you took the time to listen to that portion of the Conference Call AFTER hearing Scooter's initial explanation? To me, it just doesn't add up and it troubles me to see him making a concession speech (which is precisely what he did) with the amount of time it could've taken him to address my initial question by contacting Rudy and getting to the bottom of this--not only for me, people--but for EVERYONE! Scooter shouldn't have needed to read it from Adam - he wrote of CREDIBILITY and TIME as if they are equals, yet as Scooter clearly showed us yesterday, it appears CREDIBILITY > TIME after all. I enjoyed his analyses and commentary. I really did. But it's hard to enjoy a five-star meal surrounded by flies, you feel me? None of this should have happened and you folks don't have to believe a single word I say. Just let me make myself pointedly clear: I am not satisfied with his CHOICE to walk away. Doing so only makes him all the more guilty in my eyes of a corroboration previously unknown to many of us, as it was veiled behind fantastic data analysis and a golden-boy persona. Scooter receives no apology from me. Aloha, chuckst3r P.S. In Topic: Scooter – Gonna Miss You (posted 18 Jun 2011)The following was this topic’s final post by Adam Montana: Guess I forgot to hit the close button! Look, I'm not going to keep defending myself all over the forum - but I'll do it one more time. I have a LOT of respect for Scooter. I think he is a great guy, an awesome researcher, and a very intelligent investor. Unfortunately: Scooter was associated with Rudy, simply by appearing in the same venue as him. There is a LOT of evidence to prove that Rudy is a con artist. Scooter was asked if he endorsed or supported Rudy.... and Scooter did not answer. Instead, Scooter chose to leave. Scooter did not disassociate himself from someone we believe to be a con artist... Therefore, in my opinion, Scooter is guilty of associating with a con artist. A non-response is the same as a silent endorsement, in my opinion. I have a lot of respect for Scooter, but if it turns out he is endorsing con artists - that respect is GONE. Scooter can address this issue at any time. Until then, I would like to see this topic closed.

Did I miss something?

Scooter, How's the due dilligence coming along RE: "you know what"? It shouldn't take this long--or should it? Aloha, chuckst3r

Adam Montana, Thank you for taking the time to address the details of this thread. tmcgraw, Thank you for your support and contribution to providing said FACTS. Much appreciated! Scooter, I second what Adam said. Also, it appears to me that I may have been a bit coarse in my earlier reply to you. Consider this my public apology for whatever offenses or hurt feelings you incurred on my behalf, valid only AFTER your full compliance to the terms expressed by Adam Montana above. Sorry, but that's just how I California Roll. At any rate, nice job on this afternoon's DD webcast and keep it up! Aloha All, chuckst3r

Exactly! Thank you, tmcgraw. That's the problem not only in these dinar forums but in virtually every aspect of American society--too many sheeple accepting what they're told and NOT asking QUESTIONS and holding one another ACCOUNTABLE for their words and deeds. It's disgusting, really. George Carlin's ghost is t**bagging me as I write this for having even given credendce to any of this. LOL! To BAN, or not to BAN? Cyber crybabies amuse me. The choice is simple: either READ, or NOT READ. It's that simple. Screw the dinar. I should invest in Kleenex.

Scooby Doo, Listen here, dude. Believe me when I say that age and briefcases don't mean a godd**n thing in the world away from the keyboards and computer screens, so I could care less how old he or she might be when I smell the initial whiff of BS seeping from their mouths. Suppose I did try to reach him privately. What's the probability he'd ever reply in a timely manner? I don't know. Where's the incentive? Again, I don't know. What I DO KNOW is the power of an online public forum and I had a feeling he understood this, too. Besides, this isn't a personal matter between him and me. No, it's much bigger than that. You see, I knew Rudy was no good. I am much more interested as to verifying the legitimacy and credibility of the ones still standing atop their respective reputations in the dinar community. Now you tell me what's more disrespectful: calling somebody out on their double-tongued banter when it JUST SO HAPPENS to involve the likes of guys comprised of conspiratorial characters like the BH *G*, or...somehow being involved in their fraudulent schemes and serving as an accomplice? As I said, "you are the company you keep." You can't sit there and tell me that DD, Scooter, or any of these other dinar commentators weren't aware of Rudy's BS. But wait--there's MORE! Logic would lead me to believe that the buck simply doesn't stop there at Rudy. Look to his partners and associates. Like attracts like. It's about time people stood up and voice their dissatisfaction with the profligate horde, identify them, and expose them for what they really are. Aloha, chuckst3r

I refuse to accept the cavalier attitude of those who choose to mislead and deceive the rest of us. I expect respectful and honest commentary to accompany these geopolitical/financial conference calls, webcasts, and posts. Enough of the kool-aid drinkers. There just so happens to be real people sitting behind these computer screens, not just a bunch of 2-bit sheeple nodding their heads to everything and anyone deemed more "capable" or "intelligent" or "important" than they are. Persistence. That's what it's called. Drink up.

Scooter! Nice job with the DD webcast tonite. Good stuff. Keep it up! Aloha, chuckst3r

Listening to DD's Radio Tidbit webcast right now and I can't help but laugh. Brad is a total joke. Notice how he doesn't mention Rudy and the "30 remaining seats" available in the "Iraqi Hedge Fund II" ...lol! What a piece of work. Now here is is, blabbering about his philanthropic efforts and commitment to dinar education. Give. Me. A. Break. Doesn't DD have any clue who he's promoting here?! I guess not. And why, do you suppose, did DD fail to mention the Iraqi Hedge Fund or it's "manager" Rudy C. like he used to? Something smells fishy, and I ain't talking fishsticks.

Scooter, We're only SEVEN minutes away from your DD Tidbit Radio guest appearance, along with The Law Offices of Scott L. Soelberg & the one-and-only BH *G* fraudsters. As always, I'll be listening very carefully. One word of advice: leave the "jokes" aside and stick to the data. Good luck. Aloha, chuckst3r

Dare I say, "BOOYAH"?! tmcgraw, thank you for spending time to digest my post for what it's worth and for your contribution to disrupting the DECEPTIVE acts of a specific few. I'm going to read every single word of it. And Scooter, if you're reading this, please stay away from those who seek to prop their fraudulent agendas upon the acclaim and reputation you've spent years building with your insightful research and positivism! Aloha, chuckst3r You got it all wrong there, pal. You might wanna turn down the volume on the FOX News channel and re-read the post from start to finish to fully absorb the breadth and depth of what's actually being exposed here. But that's ok. You do what you please. In the meantime, I'm going to ensure that Scooter and those responsible for last night's BH *G* Conference Call will be held accountable for their words. Don't forget: the Devil is in the details. aloha, chuckst3r
