Birds are chirping. Judgment day looks to be pretty nice. Hope Family Radio is forced to give back all the money they duped from people.

This is true. GS shares just dropped to $134.00. Alot of traders will not be sleeping tonight. Maybe the Judgment Day prediction was true. Monday morning will tell : ) Look on Google Finance.

I hope we get past the banter and work for real peace.

Adanan, Rumsfeld did visit your country in 1983. But, the purpose was more about economic and security stability in the region. At this point of time the United States relations with Iraq was still quite raw from its ties the former Soviet Union. I do hope this helps. A declassified 1984 Department of State briefing paper reveals that the United States government did not condone Iraq's domestic Chemical Weapons production.

I listened to the Speech and transcribed it for everyone to read and discuss. *********************************************** Greater Nashua Chamber of Commerce Business Expo and luncheon held in Nashua, New Hampshire Thank You very much. It is a great honor for me to be here. I have to tell you this is sorta where it all started for me. Because in 1989 a good friend of mine said, "Would you do me a favor and come up to New Hampshire and make a speech." And I did. It was really a speech on success. And a motivational type of speech, get people working. And I said, "What about New Hampshire? Everybody works? And we love workers. And think that is why is I like New Hampshire." Alot of Workers. But, I made this speech and I left. I came back to New York, I heard that I was running for President. So that was the first time the I heard running for President for Donald Trump. And it was very interesting. But, I will say that all my life, I heard that very successful people cannot run for high office. I just heard it so many times. And you know it was interesting, because no one said it would be easy. But, I had no idea I would get hammered like I have been hammered over the last three or four weeks. It is actually I think a compliment. I am not sure. I went as an example to the Washington Speakers Bureau or a dinner in Washington. And it was very interesting. The Washington Correspondent's Dinner was packed with people. It was an amazing event actually. I had been there before. So I knew what I was getting into. Sorta the Lion's Den. But, the President got up and very respectably said things. And he said alot about me. And they were jokes. They had a picture with the White House with Trump on top of it and some other things. It was very nice. There was a comedian that got up and he started talking about me. I looked at my wife and said, "Is this a good thing or a bad thing? Am I supposed to be honored or am I supposed to hide under the table?" I listened and took it in. It was actually a little bit amazed. I was an amazing period of time for me. Because, I am not a professional politician so it was an asset, other than our mayor, who is a great, great leader. Right. But, I think that has turned out to be largely an asset according to alot of people. I took on the President. I was very strong in saying, "Put up your birth certificate." I was very strong on it. No whether I was right about it, whether I was wrong about it. I do not care. Why not show it? Why did it take so long? I was honored that I was able to get him to do it. And I guess he will continue and that debate will rage and everything else. But, my big thing since day one is jobs. It has been jobs. It has been the economy. I built a great business. A really great business. I built it over a period of years. It is doing unbelievably well in bad times. In bad times we made alot of really good decisions. Alot of decisions that are really terrific. And I love doing what I am doing. I have to be honest. I hate getting out of that business and doing anything else. But, Our Country is in serious, serious trouble. Like it has never been before. The kind of numbers that we are hearing today are so unbelievable. There so incredible in size. You know 3 or 4 years ago you never heard the word trillion. Trillion. And now every thing is trillion. Deficits, debt, budgets. Its trillion. We are trillions of dollars in the hole. And alot of people don't see how to get out of it. And you know my businesses can be good. But, my businesses won't be good if this country is going down, down, down. And it has a very big shot at doing that. And I am very no tax person. But, I can tell you if President Obama gets reelected I think taxes are going through the roof. And I do believe that he is holding them down as long as he can, because he wants to get through this election. But, I said it before, I met with a great group of folks, some of the real community leaders. And we had a very frank discussion. I said, "Look, if he gets in office I believe your taxes are going to be at a level that they have not in a long time." That is not going to be good for this country, it not going to be good for business, its not going to be good for New Hampshire. It is going to be good for no one. So we have a real problem. And the problem we also have we do not use our best people. Negotiation is an art. I've seen it over many years. I know the guys in New York. I know the good ones. I know the bad ones. I can practically tell you who does the good deals, who does the bad deals. The fact is it is an absolute art. And we are not using our good people. As an example, I say it all the time. China this year is going to make 300 billion dollars off off this country. Call it profit. Beyond that they are taking our jobs, because they are making our product. So they make our product, they take our jobs. They do it through the manipulation of their currency. Very simply. And then the President of China comes to the United States and we hold a beautiful evening at the White House for him. In other words, we honor a man that is taking advantage of this country. I do not blame him. If he can get away with it. Why not do it! So then they then buy our debt and we pay them interest. The whole thing is unbelievable. You look at OPEC is doing to us. These folks sit around the table. You probably saw last week Saudi Arabia said, "Oh, there is alot of oil out there. We are cutting production. So we going to cut it back." And they cut back production, because they want to keep the prices high. Any we don't have anyone We protect them. They pay us virtually nothing. We protect so many countries. We protect South Korea. I ordered 4000 televisions sets last year for hotels and different things. By the way I heard this hotel is in trouble. I love things that are in trouble. That is when I want to buy.(Applause) Thank you for telling me Christian. You are the broker for this wherever you are. No I am only kidding. The food is really good. No actually I am not kidding actually. I am not kidding about that. Anyway its a nice hotel. I am going to take a tour later. I am supposed to say hello to a bunch of political leaders, while I am going to take a tour of the hotel. I am not used to that. You look at what OPEC is doing to this country. And I always say, the worst abuser of the United States, and the word abuse is the right word to use is OPEC. the second is China. And there are many countries after that. As an example, Columbia. They are the fourth largest country in Latin America. They made last year on the United States four billion dollars. This isn't a huge country. We do not even do that much business with them. They make four billion dollars. It's like what is going on? What are we doing? We are now signing a new trade pack that I don't think in just reviewing it, is going to be good as the old one. So, you wonder where is thinking come from? How does it happen? Then you look at the deficits and I have to say that I am a proud Republican. I am very proud of our ideals, at least most of them. And I look at plan that was put forward. I like Paul Ryan very much. But, the plan that was put forward... it was early. There was no reason to put a plan forward when they are even talking about touching Medicare at this point. There is no reason for it. So Medicare and Medicaid all of sudden come in and its put in by Republicans. And you have elections coming. The Republicans have elections coming. And the Democrats, you talk about demigog. The Democrats are doing a number on that plan like I never have seen. So in upstate New York we lost a Congressman who decided to go on whatever it was and show what kinda great body he had. You know all about that. He was looking for people on the Internet. And they caught him. And he should be thrown out. Do we all agree? Yes. So a very popular Republican woman is running for the office. She was expected to win easily. Republican area. Easy like crazy. Well, the other day in the front page of a major newspaper there is a story where she may not win. Because, she is having a hard time defending that whole situation with Medicare. Now, The President I am talking about negotiation. The Art of The Deal,' one of the great business books of all time. Everybody know. It is the biggest selling business book of all time. They plug that book. Alot of people they got that start, because of that book. You know. Whatever. We call it the 'Art of the Deal.' We have to let him go first. Let him come in an put up the plan. Then you can use your debt limits. And you can use all sorts of things to do what you have to do. When you look at what happened recently, when they thought is was going to be 38 billion and there was 300 million in savings. There was so many things going on and I am just saying, "What is happening! What is happening to our Country?" We have a chance to be great again. We are a debtor nation. And think of it. I saw recently a report. We are spending two billion dollars, so Brazil, Brazil, can drill for oil. Why aren't we drilling oil? Why aren't we drilling for oil in this country? (Applause) A friend of mine, who is doing a pretty well. And not a real rich guy, but a guy who always wanted to do this. He bought an airplane. Or he is buying one. I said, "Oh, what kind of plane is it? He tells me the name of the plane. I say, "Where is is made?" "Brazil." "Why in Brazil?" "Because, I get 1.2 million dollar tax credit from the United States if I buy this plane." And I am saying, "What is going on?" So we do not use our right people. I know Wall Street very well. I know all the killers, I know all the smartest guys, I know the guys who are not. When we are negotiating against China, against South Korea, against all of these places. Why aren't we using our smartest, greatest business people? Whom, by the way, I put them against anybody. We have the best. Instead we use a diplomat. And I as I said, a diplomat. You know what a diplomat is? That is a person who studies how to be nice. (Laughter) I don't want a nice person.(Laughter) That is why I may not make it in terms of... I am not that nice a person. But, I tell you what I would make this country great again. That I can tell you. (Applause) We had a great victory last week with the killing of Bin Laden. That was great. (Applause) Enhanced Interrogation really led us to that. Now enhanced interrogation.. We are so politically correct. Nobody wants to say that. Nobody wants ever to use that. Isn't another word for that torture. And you know what, the people that I watched jumped off the World Trade Center. That was torture. So we catch this guy, They shoot him. Then they clean his body. They give him a religious ceremony. They take 45 minutes. They get... Why?... I do not understand it. I do not understand it. In terms of torture, in terms of interrogation, we would not have caught Bin Laden without it. That is what got us to him. And were right now as you know they are under investigation. Numerous people that used enhanced interrogation. To use the nicer term after September 11. I do not think think those people should be under the kinda gun they are under. I do not think so at all.(Applause) One of the things that has been recently been found out is that Bin Laden's plan, one of his plans, and he had many of them, was to bankrupt what was the former Soviet Union. Which he succeeded in doing. And hence it broke up and is now called Russia. Smaller version. Very powerful, but small version. That war bankrupted Russia. He wanted to bankrupt the United States. We are spending 10 billion dollars a month... 10 billion dollars on building schools, on all the other things that we are doing for Afghanistan. And for what? What are we doing? And I heard something the other day that I have to do a little research. While we are fighting in Afghanistan, I heard that they have tremendous mineral resources in Afghanistan. I always thought, you know I look at oil, I look at Iraq, at the different countries. I see things. But, tremendous mineral resources. And you know who is in there trying to get them? China! While we are out there fighting. Spending billions and billions and billions of money. Nobody knows how much we are spending. Nobody knows. We are spending billions of dollars on fighting. China is out there trying to get its foot to get the minerals. But, we can't build schools in our own cities. We can't build roads in our own cities. I been to China numerous times. And I see bridges going up. I see airports going up like you would not believe. When was the last time you saw a major bridge being built in the United States? It does not happen. First of all you can't get the environmental approvals. It is impossible. When I was over there it was very interesting. A friend of mine from China.. Hey, I respect what they do. If they can take advantage of our leaders, you know, I have great respect for that. If they can do it. There filling in a big chunk of the Ocean. And I am saying to myself, "Huh? How long did it take you to get your environmental permits? He looked at me and said, "What? What are you talking about? Donald its the ocean." They are filling quarter mile by quarter mile. They are building a big complex. A huge thing. And they actually fill in parts of the ocean to build a new city. They build new cities in about 12 minutes. They say if they want a city, they build it the next day. Mayor, it is a little different from what we do. (Laughter) I have gotten very many environmental awards. I don't want to sound like "Oh Gee!" I am totally into fairness. But, I have seen jobs that were going to employ thousands and thousands of people stopped, because of a blade of grass. Because it is a unique blade of grass. I have seen them stop over a certain type of fish. Over this and that. And I deal with environmental consultants all the time. I look at them and say, "You know it is terrible. It is horrible. They are going to stop progress. Isn't that horrible?" He "Actually Donald it is not horrible for me. Because you are paying me a fortune. And so is everyone else." These guys go up to Albany, in the case of New York and they make the restrictions harder. The consultants that are working for you, so you have to hire them to get though this horrible situation. And in many cases you can't get through. If you are not rich, you cannot get through at all, because you cannot go through the process. I can tell you job after job after job. It is even like drilling of oil. Where Abu Dhabi recently... they have so much energy. They have such resources. They announced that were going to have all their transportation needs done in gas. They wanted natural gas, that's it, because they are going to sell the oil to the United States and other places. And yet we are the king of natural gas. We have more natural gas than anybody. Coal, natural gas, and wind is limited. Honestly. Solar has not been perfected and is very expensive. I know them all. I go to build a building and they say, "I want to use solar! I want to use solar!" And I am good at dollars. I look and come back. "That will take you approximately 22 years." A 22 year payback. Maybe I won't use solar. It hasn't been perfected. And it is going to get better. But we have tremendous. We are the king of coal. We are the all time of natural gas. We don't use it. Then you hear about a country Abu Dahbi using natural gas so they can sell their oil. And its just incredible for me. I look at what is going on. I look at Pakistan. They are not our friend. I have to say if you look at Bill O'Reilly from a few weeks ago; If you look a Neal Cahoodo from not so long ago; I said, "Osama Bin Laden is in Pakistan." Some of you probably heard this. And I was very loud and clear. We give Pakistan billions and billions of dollars a year. We are going to give them 3.2 billion I think they are asking now and even more. I said, "Listen, I understand something about that. You tell them we are not giving you any money unless you hand over to us Osama Bin Laden." And everybody looked at me like. Heh? Nobody picked else picked it up. You know I make these statements, its amazing that no politician picks them up. So obviously they are not very good statements. I guess. They never get picked up. And you know when they are good they never give me credit. That is what I hate politics Meredith. When I buy a piece of real estate I own it. By that time nobody remembers that is Trump's idea. So Trump does not get any credit. I love to get credit. (Laughter) I love to get credit. But, I said right there on television. You can look over the last number of weeks. Those two shows. "Let them give us this guy." Now, if anybody thinks that they did not know that a they have a sophisticated.. somebody said many times the size of West Point. That he was sitting is in this big house. I did not think was incredibly beautiful. But you know, they made it like it was this incredible mansion. Does anyone in this room want to live in this mansion? If anybody thinks that Pakistan, the government, did not know it was there, they are foolish. They are very foolish. They are not our friend. They are not really our enemy. But, now I say differently. I think this is very important. The bad guys could take over Pakistan very easily, very quickly. It could happen. We would not know what is going on. They have nuclear weapons. They desperately need our money. We don't give them any money unless they get rid of their nuclear weapons. Now to me I think that is so simple. (Applause) So, I hope that it does get picked up by some of the other people. But for us to giving them money. They use it for themselves. But, they go out and they use that money for nuclear weapons. And you know what, let's say right now they are semi friendly. But, They may not be all friendly. They may be tremendously against us, including Israel. Because if that happens Israel is in really big trouble. They have serious nuclear weapons. But, they seriously need our money. That is a deal I would make. I would not veer from it. You cannot let them have those nuclear weapons. Another one I made that some people did pick up. Some people love it, some people think it is "Oh its a sovereign nation." Iraq. We go into Iraq. We spent 1.5 trillion dollars. We have lost thousands great young men and women. We have tens of thousands of people, that are incredible people, that are horribly wounded with legs and arms missing. Just horribly wounded all over the cities. All over the cities. I see it in New York. I see it all over. And we go in, we fight and then we leave. Somebody said Democracy. Give me a break. Soon as we leave Iran is going to take over Iraq. We decapitated their armies. Its going to happen. They are already planning. I have heard they are closer to the leaders of Iraq than we are. Iran is very cunning and very smart. So they say they been fighting for years and years. For years they were about equal. They moved two feet, they go back two feet. Back, back. The war is over. For 21 years they don't fight. Then they fight again. But, now what we have done is, we have decapitated one of those countries. So Iran is going in again. What they really want is the oil. You know that Iraq has the second largest oil reserves in the world. 15 trillion dollars. Interestingly Meredith, it is very close to our deficit. Right? Isn't that interesting. Amazing number. So I have said to people. What is this? Maybe I am old fashioned. I say, "We're in there." And I have have good friends. They are smart people. Some are liberal, some are conservative. But alot of them are saying, "Donald are suggesting we take the oil? That's a sovereign nation." I say, "Excuse me?" Some people love them. I say they are the smart ones. When we went into Iraq if you remember when we went into Iraq alot of so called smart ones said were saying we only did it for oil. We didn't. We weren't smart. For what? He didn't knock the World Trade Center. You like Saddam Hussein, You do not like Saddam Hussein. He did not knock the World Trade Center. He had nothing to with it. And frankly, what he did do is kill terrorist. You could not be a terrorist in Iraq. He would kill you. No trials, no nothing. He would kill you if you were a terrorist. Now Iraq is the Harvard of Terrorism. If you want to be a terrorist, you go to Iraq. Everybody says this. If you want to be a terrorist Iraq is over. Afghanistan is good too. So we got our army over there. Somebody said we do not want to stay there longer. You know the kind of money they have over there? They have 15 trillion dollars over there. We spent 1.5 trillion dollars. I say this. At a minimum we get our money back. And we pay each one of the families of those soldiers that died a couple of million dollars. And we give our badly wounded and our wounded alot of money. It is peanuts. You are talking about peanuts compared to what the numbers are in this incredible oil reserve. Incredible. And we pay those families back. Now people say to me "You can't do that, because of the sovereignty of the Nation." But, let me ask you this when the families of those fallen soldiers are sitting home watching television in a couple of years from now. After we're done. Because they are not going in when we are there. But we have an appetite to get out. Then we are never going to go back, because we don't have that stomach. When the families of those soldiers of those great soldiers are sitting home a couple of years from now. When Iran takes over Iraq and takes over the oil and tells the rest everybody how stupic the United States is. Which is absolutely what will happen, they might be right. How do you think the parents of that 22 year old soldier? How do you think the parents are going to feel about that? Because those soldiers will have died in vain. And again, all of the wounded, all of the money. What a terrible, terrible situation. I made alot of good predictions. I had a book and made alot of predictions in the book. Alot of them came true. I said terrorism is going to happen, I said you are going to have a market crash. I am not saying I am a great psychic, but I have a good instinct for things. I think most good business people do. That's why. We are little ahead of the curve in alot ways. I have a good instinct for things. I said terrorism is going to be a factor. That was 10 or 11 years ago. I said we are going to a great crash. And we really did have a great crash. We can have a second big crash. If gasoline does not go down substantially we are gotta have a second crash. If oil is going to stay above $100, which I think its going to for awhile. I think its going higher. We can have a real problem. We can have a real second dip as they call it. So, I know how to deal with OPEC, I know China. By the way I had I made alot of money. I am very proud of myself. I made alot of money. And I know how to deal with these people. They are smart, they are cunning, and they are not our friends. Remember that. They are not our friends at all. So I am thinking about running. I must be honest. It is tough, because I am very anti-establishment. That even includes the Republicans. For instance, I have great respect for Paul Ryan, but I would not have done it the way he did it. Too early. Too soon. There was no reason for him to do it. Let the other guy lead them in. Then you let someone go in and make the country great again. But, I am very anti-establishment. I see even Republicans taking a shout at me. What really did I say today that people can take a shout out to me. I want to take care of our fallen soldiers. I want to take care of our people. I want the oil. I want reimbursement to us. And by the way to other countries that helped us, like Britian and other countries. I want to take advantage of the situation over there. What when you think about. What is controversial? So I go back and I am a Republican. I have not even announced if I am running. And I think even the Republicans don't like it. Because I am not in that club. I am not in that club. You can't be in that club. And that club is not what is going to make us, in my opinion, a great country again. We have tremendous potential, tremendous unbelievable potential. If we had the right people. If we knew what we are doing. We cannot let China drain us. We cannot let OPEC drain us. We cannot let South Korea drain us. When I ordered the 4000 televisions. I said find an American company. I want to find an America that makes them. We have the greatest people. Nobody could do it. I need 4000 televisions. That's alot of televisions. So we got LG from South Korea. And it is interesting, because you know South Korea. We have thousands of soldiers between North and South Korea. And you know what happened? We are all set to sign this agreement. And they say, "No, No. We do not want it!" Barron Trump, who is my four year old son, would not have agreed to that agreement for the United States. That is how the bad the agreement was. But, South Korea it was not good enough for them. They embarrassed the President by not signing that agreement A couple days later some bombs started getting lobbed over South Korea by North Korea. And we send this magnificent aircraft carrier, the George Washington. Like incredible. And 17 destroyers and boats, an armada. Just to turn on the engine is probably two thousand bucks. Ok. Two million dollars. So we are sending this big armada over there costing a fortune. And North Korea says ok we don't want to mess with you. We will stop bombing them. South Korea said, "But, we want to sign your agreement. It a wonderful agreement. You are our ally. You are our great friend." How stupid are we? They wouldn't do it. All of sudden as soon as the bombs got lofted they say, "Please send it over here immediately. Who is going to notarize the agreement for me? Ok?" So we have to use our heads. South Korea makes a fortune selling televisions and lots of other things. They have to pay us alot of money for protection. They have to pay us. We can't protect them. What are we protecting them for? So they can make money on the United States. Unfortunately, the politician is not going to say what I am saying. I guess it does not work, probably does not work. I do not know why. If you spoke to South Korea they will say we are not going to be enemies. There going to say that we finally we got smart. They are actually going to have more respect. You ever see that.. alot of business people in the room. When you are firmly in touch with someone. When you are firm and tough with someone, you actually build a good relationship, because they respect you. Whereas if you make a lot more money Right now they do not respect this country. They do not respect our leaders. They do not respect what we are doing. And right now this country is going to be going over a cliff. Now Just in closing, I think we are going to take a couple of questions. I want to say I honestly believe that the upcoming election, if not the, is one of the most important elections ever in this country's history. We have a chance to be great. We have a chance to be an unbelievable power again. And I am talking from an economic standpoint. I don't want China and Afghanistan. Why isn't China is helping with Libya. You know who get's alot of oil from Libya? Not the United States. We get nothing. China. Why aren't they involved? We don't have the right leaders. They don't see it. Now if I run and if I win, and that is a big if, this country will be great again. This country will rich again. And maybe... most importantly of all this country will be respected again. Thank you very much.

Your statement begs the question whether the Taliban support Pro-USraeli Arab kings, Sheikhs, Emirs and Sultans funding Al-Qaeda. That means they are part of this ruse too.

Interesting. All Muslims (Shiat, Hanafi, Sahafaie, Maliki or Hanbali) support Pro-USraeli Arab kings, Sheikhs, Emirs and Sultans funding Al-Qaeda. That would not go too well with the Taliban. They have strong ties to Al-Qaeda. http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/terrorism/jan-june11/frontline_05-03.html

I have removed Facts About Obama From the Directory. There was too much hate and violence. Google still has a cache: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:o4gRLwq14foJ:www.dcmessageboards.com/index.php%3Fshowtopic%3D15546+Facts+about+Obama+DCMessageBoards.com&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us&source=www.google.com If you want to view it. It is now in the cloud until it disperses.

So are Shias and Sunnis opposed to the actions of Al-Qaeda? Do Shias and Sunnis consider Osama bin Mohammed bin Awad bin Laden to have been disgruntled, misguided, just a puppet, or holy warrior?

Do you believe of this coming transformation of society, after which all things will be changed, based on a one-thousand-year cycle? My Observation is the world is dynamic and catastrophic. I do believe in cycles and trends. Trends come from the gift of choice God has given us to shape the future. That gift of choice I am educated to believe is Liberty. The inward illumination you believe to be Imam in nonmaterial form, I have been baptized and confirmed to believe in the gift of the Holy Trinity. Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. You believe that Imam will be with Jesus Christ at the end of times. Imam is a man to you. Jesus is a man to you.

Why not just embrace one flat tax? No Entitlements and Tax Breaks. Create an equation that gives value to capital holdings and borrowing of money? Adjust this amount according to the deficit. Display who the money we owe to and how much? The Federal Reserve can be a very good thing for our country. It protects our financial independence from the rest of the world. We just need to make it more transparent. Classifying certain information by levels of secrecy just like the military, national archives, and intelligence units use. A better community outreach of what their doing is needed. We cannot have our Citizens of the United States consider the The Treasury Department's Central Bank doing business with shadow cartels or any special interest that conflict with our National Policy. Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac should be moved to the Federal Reserve to unwind at a proper economic pace. The United States has no business backing home and property loans ever, but we need to honor its debt to past customers. Keep Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, Healthcare until 25, and Collective Bargaining in place. Benefits should only be given to citizens that have paid taxes for five years. Exempt students and the disabled that are not fit to work.

The Shrine of Two Imams, Ali al-Hadi and Hassan al-Askari Alī al-Hādī was the tenth of the Twelve Imams. Hassan al-Askari was the eleventh of the Twelve Imams. Muḥammad ibn al-Ḥasan al-Mahdī is believed to bee the ultimate savior of humankind and the final Imām of the Twelve Imams. Twelver Shī‘a are said to believe that al-Mahdī was born in 869 and did not die but rather was hidden by God (this is referred to as the Occultation) and will later emerge with Isa (Jesus Christ) in order to fulfill their mission of bringing peace and justice to the world. Have you seen the Iranian government's new film "The appearance of Imam Mahdi Is Imminent?" The film shows Iran's supreme leader Ali Khamenei and President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad Ahmadinejad and the Secretary General of Hezbollah Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah as the most important characters contributing to the emergence of Imam Mahdi. From what I read the shrine at Jamkaran (located a short distance away from Qom), is where the Mahdi is said to dwell. With the strong backing of President Ahmadinejad, the Jamkaran mosque has been undergoing a complete renovation and expansion in recent times. President Ahmadinejad's end prayer called on the messiah to hasten his appearance is unique and illustrates the sense of immediacy that Ahmadinejad frequently seeks to convey when speaking about the Mahdi’s appearance. According to Ahmadinejad’s own account, as he made this call to the Lord he was bathed in a green light, which he took as a sign that the Mahdi himself was blessing the speech. Al Mahdi will materialize when the believers are severely oppressed in every corner of the world. He will fight the oppressors, unite the Muslims, bring peace and justice to the world, rule over the Arabs, and lead a prayer in Mekkah at which Jesus will be present. In a speech to clerics in Mashad last month, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said that the appearance of the Hidden Imam, the Shi'ite messiah, was imminent, and declared, "The time has come for us to carry out our global duty... With God's help, Iran will become the center of [global] leadership... The Hidden Imam runs the affairs of Iran and of the rest of the countries of the world... and he is preventing the U.S. from taking over Iraq's oil and looting it." Alam-al-Hoda, Friday prayer leader in the city of Mashhad, reinforced Ahmadinejad's statements, saying that nuclear scientists had told him that they had successfully overcome the technical difficulties of developing Iran's nuclear program by turning to the Hidden Imam. Some references to Imam Mahdi To sum this all up. Does Iran's President believe the Apocalypse is close at hand? Does Ahmadinejad believe that he might be Imam Mahdi? Is he suggesting that he will use nuclear weapons like the fabled Zulfiqar to end all evil.

Osama Bin Laden disgraced his family with reckless regard for humanity. Would this be a good Arabic translation of understanding?

Thank God our soldiers were not harmed. They risked everything to end the terror of a well funded mad man. How people can believe our Creator wants us to harm each other is beyond my understanding. Everything was timed perfectly. Osama bin Laden was living in a mansion in the suburbs of the Pakastani Capital. It is quite apparent that their intelligence knew where he was living, considering it was next door to their military academy. I am grateful that they gave the green light to end this. President Obama should be given credit for implementing leadership. The Intelligence community should be given credit for gathering, organizing, and distributing channels in a completely secure environment. Our military service should be honored for executing a well thought plan. Our Allies were given appropriate notice and in turn, they should be thanked for their support in keeping communication silence. The burial at sea was well done. Our main focus should be diplomacy and respect of our neighbors. Respect the choices people make in their lives. Strength should be shifted to the economy and defense of our borders. We need to make sure that those that choose to give their lives to protect us are honored and given support from our country.

The al-Qaida leader was killed in a mansion outside Islamabad, the Pakistani capital.

Hopefully this issue is resolved. http://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files/rss_viewer/birth-certificate-long-form.pdf

The Federal Budget script is getting is getting to costly for business. We are in economic war with ourselves and global trade. Friday's House Session was a farce designed to shout. We are arguing interpretations of School House Rock. Democrats scaring us that House Republicans are following a Hitler "Mein Kampf" strategy, similar to what is going in Wisconsin. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sw837zt81nw The workers are split in two. This gives Republican a vested advantage of power Republicans stating that is simply not the case. If this was a Hollywood production, heads would be rolling. This banter is getting stale and cliche. The "Fish or Cut the Bait" bit did make me laugh. I have seen better Wrestling skits. At least they know how to take a hit. Public servants do not deserve this crap. Veterans and Members of the United States Military Armed Forces please read this. I did like what that one man stated that legislators are except from the pay freeze. The empty wallet pain should come from them first. All of them. If this is the best they got then all the key participants and Party Leaders should be given a vote of no confidence. One of the members needs to be brave and ask for a vote of No Confidence. If they do not a petition should be made to the Federal Elections Commission to put an additional public referendum of No Confidence Equals No Pay" Members of Congress should not able to receive any funds and entitlements until the budget is resolved. The Executive Branch should follow suit. A pay freeze for Department leaders and political appointees should be given until the budget is resolved. Voters should have the right to vote No Confidence for all Federal Representatives and Senators. The Judicial Branch and Federal and Election Boards, and Electoral Collage should appoint mediators to manage the process.

I really hope people are paying attention to our erosion of status and power. http://www.cnbc.com/id/42065544/ China has become the world’s top manufacturing country by output, returning the country to the position it occupied in the early 19th century and ending the U.S.’s 110-year run as the largest goods producer. The change is revealed in a study released on Monday by IHS Global Insight, a U.S.-based economics consultancy, which estimates that China last year accounted for 19.8 per cent of world manufacturing output, fractionally ahead of the US with 19.4 per cent.

Foreign Interests Must Be Desperate The latest banter coming from the other side is that they want people to think Made in America is a Union ploy. When actually Made in America is our only hope. Oil prices from violence and greedy speculation is driving all energy and goods prices up, up, up! Acquisition of these products are done on market level. It is very difficult to get proper investment without significant capital. You can have a great idea, but it will go no where if Wall Street is not on board. Goods and Services have been globalized, so that resource needed by host is ignored. History shows us Banana Republics with two classes; rich and poor. In times of resource stress, the host can find both a product shortage and a devaluation of price. The host has little say to these profit organisms. The American labor force is being replaced by: outsourcing goods and services; cheaper immigrant labor forces; and technology. Technology Software and Products are being traded around more and more. Statistics show that the pack has either caught up or passed us already in many sectors. Energy, Finance, Agriculture, Medical, Pharmaceutical, etc... I find it comical that British Petroleum has been awarded another well head in the Gulf. I find it even more comical that they made 5 billion in profit last year. Good for them. They are true models of the International (multinational) Corporation. Wall Street underwriters follow an efficient path to profit. Whether it is good or bad, I cannot state with certainty. But, I do know that we are suffering. I am asking that the Barons of Wall Street, Energy, and Media do what is best for country now that tangible resources are becoming smaller. Consider your brothers, sisters, cousins, friends, that do not have the same advantages as you. Start buying American made retail goods. Start lending to Small Business again. I applaud Disney having the guts to air their "Made in America" television series on ABC. At least a discourse is starting. I shared these sentiments by writing the White House and got the following response. We need to get past our differences and get together as a country. United We Stand. Divided We Fall. This means that both union and non union private business leaders need to focus on Building a Better Future for our country. Workers have the right to choose their paths as well. In some instances union is the better way to go. In other instances, non union may be the better idea. Outsourcing is not the answer. Outsourcing becomes a bear trap that business cannot escape once the supply chain has been connected. Foreign labor and management have the right to splinter off and capture wealth and intelligence for their own. It is happening right now and accelerating at an unsustainable pace. Once the transfer of wealth is complete only the cream of the crop will benefit. Innovation will become the only answer. I am going to call SBA and see what they have to say today. I still Dream.

This is a good sign Advance Report on Durable Goods Manufacturers’ http://www.census.gov/manufacturing/m3/adv/pdf/durgd.pdf look down to: Table 1 All other durable goods: Shipments………………………….. 33,942 (Jan 2011) 28,437 (Jan 2010) +16% New Orders………………………… 33,966 (Jan 2011) 28,778 (Jan 2010) +16%

I can't see America incorporating the sacred laws of Islam into our form of government. Liberals believe that law come from the people and not supernatural authority. Conservatives from the Christian Right would never allow Sharia law to infringe on their civil liberties and religious freedom. Former Speaker Newt Gingrich does not even think it is an issue. Independents like myself believe in the separation of Church and State. I personally take political beliefs from both sides. Finally, I think the population number of Christians in the United States is far greater than any other beliefs. I think the real threat is Islamophobia. Some groups are trying to stir up a hornets nest. Many of your know that I adopted a Islamic person into my family. Never has this individual affected my Catholic beliefs.

Looks more like this deal will be going through. The New York Stock Exchange will be managed by 10 directors from Deutsche Börse and 7 from NYSE Euronext. Will it be called the World Stock Exchange? I am sure that people will not be using the "Let the Market decide our fate" slogan anymore.

I know nothing of the DTCC, but I find this topic fascinating and deeply complicated. Here is a old story by the Wall Street Journal that simplifies what the DTCC does.

As it is written in the Gospel of Luke, "Then give to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's." Things have not advanced much since then. Democracy is a constant struggle. Independent is not a bad place to be. I vote for the candidate that best follows my beliefs.
