We put a bid on a house today. We do not care about the ethnicity of the other home owners in a development. But we do care about their behavior. If young males are walking around with their pants down and their cap on sideways we move on. If you listen to them talk and they use mofo to describe everything we move on. If we see cops active in the area at night we move on. This is the kind of guy we are trying to stay away from. http://www.volunteertv.com/home/headlines/45871127.html
I got a call from Honduras early this morning. Earthquake just a few miles from Roatan. I do not think I lost my home there but I am following it.
Well off to work to try to find a house that is undervalued. Thanks for putting up with my nonsense this morning. I enjoyed every minute of it. That goes for Park as well.
I think I will join Park with this fight. I like to support the underdog even in football. Up with affirmative action!!! Hire the people with no skills and no ambition!! If you are indeed inferior why not be allowed to have an inferiority complexion. My black friends do not feel inferior to anyone. I think I better set them straight.
I am sure I could not kick your ass cause I am old and feeble. But I bet my wife could kick the snot out of you. She did not get her black belt on an affirmative action ticket.
I got the outstanding professor award from my students because I tried to make something out of them. Black students generally hated me becaue I would not give them anything they did not earn. But guess who showed up at my retirement party? And guess who they came to see when they wanted an honest opinion. When you see a black man like Mr. Sowell think just like me and he is about my age I do not give up hope. Can you imagine Mr. Sowell in the white house instead of the Fake black man? I have black friends but none of them are socialists even though they have liberal thoughts at times just like I do.
I graduated from Mississippi State in the early sixties. Yes I was a coward for not speaking my mind. But I did little things to help. I was there when the three civil rights people were killed. I do know a little.
I think I will nominate you for man of the year on that pick. Flawless DD and flawless execution. We all thank you for being here and being you.
The last time I posted here with some regularity I was called a shit eating dog by a stinking lefty. I guess having no clue is a lot better.
Do you think I would ever post that you have no clue when you have your opinions? I have read all of them. You just do not get it do you?
I bought my brother in law who lives in San Pedro a car and had it shipped over there. I paid the shipping and the taxes. I paid his electric bill and stocked his refrigerator when I was there. I bought his kids a computer and paid for an internet provider. I flew his mother over to this country twice. The last time I went down I asked to borrow the car and asked him to drive it to La Ceiba which is on the coast. About a two hour drive. He sent me an itemized statement of his expenses. Hotel 100. Food 100. Time from work 100. Gasoline 100 and a few more of his expenses that I can not remember. In Central and South America it is considered very smart to scam. This last time I was in San Pedro I did not even let them know I was there. They went to the well one too many times. And now the well is dry and will never produce again.
I think I have finally had some effect on the lefty in my house. She used to have pictures of Bush next to a chimp on her office door at school doing the same facial expressions. I did not say a word when I saw them. I just figured that she thought he had some of the same ideas as the chimp. When I put up some Obama cartoons on my office door she was livid and was not kind to me. She said it was hateful and that I was an evil person. This is why I had to ban the hard left from my board. They want it both ways. The new supreme court nominee is guilty of the same tripe. She observed that since she is Latina and a woman her decisions would automatically be better than white males. Will the minorities ever grow up and act like equals when in fact they are now equal? Some childish behavior should be left behind in childhood.
Yes I like to see people just put their ideas. If someone wants to go against the grain with the opposite view then it becomes fair and balanced debate. My wife is all I can handle in debates so I usually do not get involved debating on the boards. But I do enjoy when others give it a go. I had strong debates with the couple from London. But the woman was especially fascinating. She actually took notes after the debate. That is kind of scary because she is a TV producer. Maybe I will be an Archie Bunker character in one of her programs.
The kicker on my Roatan property is the new golf course on the north side of the hill that my property is on. I visited that site when I was there a few days ago. It was grand in scope so if the whole world does not go down in flames I should hold all the cards. But I have lost with a full house before.
Being married to a young Jewish woman (yes she is about half my age) is a load. She wanted to debate her intelligence versus my experience when it comes to making those choices that we all must make. I invested in a foreign country against her wishes. We shall see how that plays out. She bought a house in Florida with my grudging approval. So far so good on that one. We could have bought it cheaper if we had waited as I had suggested. We are in the third wave of foreclosures and it appears that the condo and townhouse market has washed out down here. 200 thousand dollar houses were selling to cash buyers for 28000. I did not play that game. But I am still trying to steal the houses. I plan to work hard over the next few months to see if I can nail a few.
I have only communicated with three of the posters on the list. I like to read your posts for intellectual stimulation. I can not say that about all of the rest.
The secret to success in these times is still a secret. That is why I am so sure I am not a genius. I keep looking for clues in the housing market but all I have are intelligent guesses. I think we are in the third wave and the most deadly wave of foreclosures. I am putting in my bids about 20 percent lower than the asking price of properties now.
I was out of town again for a few days. I try to get a pulse of where we are heading with people that vote. I am finding more and more people like Mr. Sowell if they can think at all. I made a comment about the Obama team and I called them the great spenders from hell. One very angry liberal could only attack me as a supporter of Bush. I never voted for or supported Bush except when I thought he was right. That is the same way I try to deal with Obama. The problem is that I have no idea what Obama stands for. He always takes a stand where he is on both sides of issues. He is just like the people in Honduras. If I point East and ask if that is the way to the post office they say yes. If I point West and ask the same question they say yes. The older I get the harder it becomes for me to find someone that speaks truth. On this board I find many that speak truth as they see it. We can always be wrong in our perception--but when we find out we are wrong we change direction. I have done that on many of my calls here. And then I apologized to the board for my blind spot and vowed to do better. Do you think Obama would change direction if the inconvenient facts came out? Facts come from the heavens but so do thunder and lightning. You can get hit by facts and you can get hit by lightning. And both can kill you.
I guess I could use my debit card to reserve airline and rental cars. I think I will dump the rest.
They are giving me what they call the promotional purchase rate on my current balance. Beginning Sept 20011 will be 17.9 percent.
I just got a notice from Capital One that if I charge anything from now on it will be 17 percent. I only have two credit cards but use them for travel. I think I just might go down to one.
I just cleared some money and will hit the next dip. We do have some real people here and we want to keep them. It is mean and scary out there so I do not even leave this board anymore. I think a lot of pinks will get hit tomorrow and they will be looking for real stocks.
Thank you. I would like to see all discussions of the case go to that board. We have had it discussed here and I am glad it got called to our attention. But the IHUB has been very fair with me and this board. They have protected us from pumpers and moderators of scam stocks. They have protected us from lefties. Real and the other mods get prompt response when they need to clean up the board. So if you want to vent about IHUB administration there is a board for that.
We have a lefty in charge in Honduras. We have a lefty in charge in Veneuela and he is as bad as Nancy Pelosi. If Hugo and Nancy get together to take Honduras I am screwed. The president's show
In fact, the government directly controls four TV channels of its own, including Telesur – Chavez's answer to CNN – as well as a large number of radio stations. The biggest-selling national daily (Ultimas Noticias) is sympathetic to the regime, which also controls another daily (Vea) and a variety of other print media.
State media make only token attempts at balance, and dissident voices are kept to a minimum. The miners' leader Rafael Madero, from the eastern state of Bolívar, recently discovered this when he asked for airtime on VTV (the main state channel) to criticise a proposed mining law. "The lady I spoke to said, 'I can't give you any access if you're going to criticise the minister'", said Madero, a longtime Chávez supporter.
State radio and TV carry a live Sunday programme, Aló Presidente (Hello, President), hosted by Chávez, which starts and ends whenever he likes; its duration is routinely between five and seven hours.
Moreover, the president can – and frequently does – interrupt all radio and TV broadcasts at a moment's notice and for as long as he likes. He often uses these so-called cadenas (literally "chains") to broadcast overtly political messages.
The Consejo Nacional Electoral (national electoral authority / CNE), has decided to place no special restrictions either on the Sunday programme or the cadenas during the 2006 election campaign, giving the president a massive propaganda advantage.
The 1999 constitution, introduced by Chávez, protects freedom of expression; for instance, it specifically outlaws prior censorship. But a recent judicial order, banning certain types of press coverage of a sensitive political case, is just one sign that such guarantees are by no means watertight.
With many other areas of national life already subject to strict government control, journalists in Venezuela – local and foreign – are, understandably, waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Guatemala: Slain Lawyer Left Tape Blaming President

Published: May 12, 2009
A lawyer killed by gunmen over the weekend left behind a videotape saying that if anything happened to him it was at the behest of President Álvaro Colom. “If you are watching this message, it is because I was assassinated by President Álvaro Colom with help from Gustavo Alejos,” the president’s private secretary, the lawyer says in the video. The lawyer, Rodrigo Rosenberg, was shot while riding his bicycle on Sunday, the newspaper El Periódico de Guatemala said. In the tape, Mr. Rosenberg said officials might want to kill him because he represented a businessman who had refused to engage in acts of corruption sought by President Colom. The businessman was killed in March. Mr. Colom appeared Tuesday on national television to reject the accusation, and he called for a United Nations commission and the F.B.I. to investigate the case.
These days college is about mind control and not about teaching the skills of critical thinking. The lefties want your vote, your property, your business, your voice, your guns and your children. And if you protest too hard they want your life. But the senators grew a little hair on their chests yesterday and blocked Obama from bringing the terrorists to a home near you. Dodd is cooked. Barney is in hiding. Sphincter from Pa is trying to find a home, the Virginia governor is attacking the Minnesota governor, California is cooked but Ford is getting private investors and the stock is going up. America fights back and I think we still have a chance. But it will not be easy because lefties will kill when they are trapped. Nancy looks like a trapped rat right now but Obama is standing close to her. When will the real Obama be revealed? This is the moment of truth just like it is with a pinky scam. People like Reel have a nasty habit of coming up with the truth. If Beck and others that dare to speak truth get killed we will have war.
Do you need pot? I am sponsoring one way trips to San Fran for all of my socialist friends.
For the lesson today look at this chart.http://bigcharts.marketwatch.com/quickchart/quickchart.asp?symb=eeso&sid=0&o_symb=eeso&x=61&y=19 Now look at the huge upspike. Was it a good idea to sell the spike? Could it spike again? Possibly. Could it go to .0001? ABSOLUTELY
Scams are everywhere now. We have played scams here and made good money. I am not proud of that. But we have ALWAYS said you BUY The DOWNSPIKE and SELL The UP SPIKE. Penny stock poker is ONLY a game. A very mean game. If you are going to run a scam you must control the message. The moderators of scam stock boards are often associated with the company either directly or indirectly. Their job is to challenge people like you and try to discredit you as a person. The victims put on blinders and chime in with the moderator and then also attack people like you. The emotional brain is not capable of looking at the facts and making any kind of rational decision. The emotional brain wants immediate action. I have noticed that when I find a house that I think is a great deal I want to buy it right now. This is the urgency that is needed to get people to buy into a story. Those sharp up moves create that urgency and ALWAYS have a purpose. It is to create a feeding frenzy that the scammer can sell into. That is where you get those high volume stalls. That is the biggest sell signal in the world. The scam moderators job is to rebut, attack and discredit any and all posts extoling the virtues of caution during these times. Scam stocks are usually found near the top of the IHUB most active list right at the top. I have not looked lately but EESO should be at the top of the list right about now. For education purposes new players should watch the action on that board for a good lesson. I went to a stock board last night that I played that was a scam. PBLS is the poster child for the scam pinky. I saw a rookie on the board that was asking the folks that have played that stock from many pennies to .0001. He was asking them for advice. Obama and his crew are using emotion and promises of pie in the sky by and by. He is ACORN and it is a voter scam of epic proportions. Again the same techinque is used to control the message. NBC and the New York Times hide the truth. And they attack, rebut and discredit all who speak the truth.
I have been checking bus schedules and we can send a druggie to San Francisco for about 99 dollars. I talked to some today and they did not know that you can walk into any store and buy the pot. I am going to put my 250 check from Obama to good use. I am going to tell them that Pelosi will be happy to see them.
It is real hard to take the money from the other players now. When you make a living shearing sheep you learn that they get hard to round up after a while because they do not want to get sheared. So this is where the Judas Sheep comes in. They trust her and will follow her right into the pen. I have known Raw since 2004 and he has called many of the stocks that I was playing scams. And he was right. I do not play the pinks now because there is no money left in the pockets of the pinky players. The best you can hope for now is a one or two day pop. The huge down gappers of real companies can be played with reasonable success. Cowboy, Lion and Real have put up a few here. Since I ALWAYS sell any and all sharp moves I did not hit the 5 baggers that have been put up here. But I still have a little money unlike most of the penny players that keep averaging down on a pinky until it goes to .0000000000000000000000000000000000000000001.
She and Leg That Tingles will be gone or completely marginalized when the excesses of both parties is cleaned up. People a little left of center like Lion and people like me that are a little right of center will have our day. We will not look at party when we vote in 2010. People that have followed this board over the years I am sure have noticed that people that can reason and think for themselves can make money. I am sure they have also noted that Lion and I have never insulted each other when we disagree. That is the way it is supposed to work in Washington. The current crop of dems lie, cheat and steal. They all follow the politics of destruction as outlined in the Alinsky playbook. You insult, you ridicule and you attack. Nancy is trying to follow the play book but she is so stupid she got caught in her own trap. We need to treat Obama with respect but we have a right and a duty to speak up when he is pushed into foolish moves by the lefty loons. When the new power structure in congress is revealed in 2010 I think he will work with both sides to get things done. Clinton turned his back on the loons and was effective working with Newt. Obama is the only star the dems have on the first team. The bench players are all corrupt political hacks. In fact Pelosi and Barney and Chris have a lower approval rating than Cheney. For the first time in a long time abortionists are in the minority. The homosexuals have over played their hand. The drug culture will over play its hand in California. Nevada will still be the place for gambling and prostitution but California will be the place to go for legal drugs. In fact I probably will invest a few bucks to send some druggies to San Francisco.
Look at the wild eyes of a lefty caught in her web of lies. This is the kind of leadership that killed California. Now look for a wild eyed politician from Massachusetts. That will be the next lefty state to go down. Remember Barney? He is in hiding now. http://blogwonks.com/2009/05/12/the-pelosi-lies-keep-on-coming/
Remember way back when I told everyone I was a flipper. I was hated by more people than those that hate Nancy Pelosi. Pelosi is cooked now but her replacement will be no better.
i just paid my taxes in Honduras for a property worth about the same as my property in Florida. Taxes for a year in Honduras was 320 dollars a year. Taxes on my Florida property was 7000 dollars. California would make my Florida taxes look like peanuts.
Unions killed education in this country. I know about that. Unions killed the auto industry in this country. Government worker's unions have now killed California. I may buy a farm in Honduras. If you are from California and you can get some money out of that state you may be interested in living the simple life. We will raise our own food. We will find people with various skills. I have an engineer from Europe interested. I have a builder from Scotland interested. I have a fisheries expert interested. I think there will be an exodus from the chaos in this country. So I think I will sell everything if it looks like the corruption in Washington becomes as bad as the corruption in California. Florida is mired in corruption now too. I think Texas is a place to look to for real people with real values.
That is exactly the message I got from people leaving England. The muslims can say anything and the people that pay the bill can say nothing. Socialist eletes are the enemy and they are here as well. This board has a lot of readers and some very bright posters. Obama will be thrown out on his ass here as a failed experiment. But by then it may be too late. When Texas leaves the union most red states will follow. People in other countries see this as a real possibility. Some Canadian provinces will also be ready to join because the muslims are bringing their cultural garbage with them to Canada big time. If they get this country they will know exactly what to do with Pelosi. They will put a black tent on her and send her in for training. She will be trained much as we train horses here. The Saudi guide on how to beat women will be used so they will know that they only have the right to reproduce and they will reproduce. The men have the fun and the women know their place.
We did not take any pictures this trip. We were on business only and trying to get educated.
I just got back from Central America. I agree that most Americans can not make it there. The people have a mind set much like my children when they were eight years old. They all tell you what you want to hear. The truth can not be found anywhere. We flew into San Pedro Sula and confirmed that a shuttle would take us to the bus station. When we got there for the 6;30 shuttle the woman was not in the office yet so we could not get tickets. We asked around and some said she comes in at 6:00. Others said she sometimes comes in at 7:00. Others said she comes in at 8;00. Others said she comes in at 9:00. Others said sometimes she does not come in. To get someone to move you must bribe somebody. If you go to the bank you are told to go to the customer service desk. You stand in line for hours and then when you get to the service person she tells you that you have to stand in another line. Then you stand in that line and when you get to the front of the line you are told that the one that does that did not come in today. When you finally get to see the right person she lies to you. We were supposed to get a check card in a week. It was not there when we left. If you know someone in a power position you can get service if they get involved. I could go one like this for days. We now have some of the movers on our side now. You better get to know the movers in a hurry or you will get skinned and left on the side of the road. If you catch your security guard stealing he will bad mouth you all over the land after you fire him. Sometimes if you fire someone they will come back and kill you.
